NEWS, OCT. 10: WEB EXTRA, SEPT. 13: “GARY JOHNSON IS CONSISTENT”
NOT SO FAST Determining where Gary Johnson stands on an issue is impossible, because there are many versions of Johnson. There’s Governor Gary, Presidential Candidate Gary, and now—even though he said he would never run for office again—Senate Candidate Gary. Each Gary has taken contradictory positions on most issues. Don’t take my word for it; here’s a quote from Gary from a recent candidate forum: “When I was governor of New Mexico Right to Life gave me an A for my effort, but do I believe that a woman should have a right to choose? ... Yes, I believe a woman has the right to choose.” What does that even mean? He’s also in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade. Presidential Candidate Gary called for a 20 percent cut to our labs and military bases. Senate Candidate Gary says he supports our laboratories and military bases. And the Huffington Post pointed out the hypocrisy that Gary’s been drawing a government pension since he turned 65, even though he’s proposed raising the age for Social Security. If we commend Gary for his consistency on marijuana, then he should also be held

Let’s talk about our community’s health. Meet Anchorum St. Vincent. We’re re-imagining health in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico. Anchorum was created by, and for, our community. As the 50% community owner of CHRISTUS St. Vincent, we know the people and cultures, the businesses, governmental entities, nonprofits, and health organizations. We also know our community’s health challenges—and to meet them, we need a different approach. At Anchorum, this means changing the way we address social determinants that drive the well-being and viability of our community, with sound, sustainable solutions in four primary areas:
1. Focusing on the social and physical environment of our community, with particular attention on seniors and behavioral health wellness. 2. Embracing health innovations and local economic development. 3. Expanding the continuum of care for our health system by leading efforts to build advanced facilities in our community. 4. Facilitating health and wellness access in our community, beyond the traditional hospital and clinic walls. As a Community Health Impact Organization, we will lead this collaborative effort of impact investment.

Will Taos Ski Valley’s new jet blow away Santa Fe’s commercial air dreams?
Taos Ski Valley’s new Dornier 328 jet specializes in high altitudes and short runways.
B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
t will be just before Christmas when the Dornier 328 jet drops into Taos. It will come from Texas (of course) to a ski area known for steep-and-deep terrain that boasts hair-raising ridgeline drop-ins for skiers and snowboarders. The jet’s arrival has some people in the remote resort town just as excited as a powder-filled run. “This is fun,” beams Taos Ski Valley CEO David Norden over the phone. Since billionaire Louis Bacon bought the ski area from the Blake family in 2013, he’s built a chairlift to the fabled Kachina Peak and constructed a world-class lodge, The Blake, at the resort’s base. Norden, who arrived in 2016, says commercial air service is a logical step in boosting Taos’ profile—and padding its bottom line. Which is how a ski resort came to buy a multimillion-dollar aircraft and create its own airline, Taos Air. The new airline comes alongside the resort’s pledge to the Northern New Mexico Air Alliance to help promote commercial service into Santa Fe’s airport, 62 air miles to the south. The alliance formed in 2016, thanks in part to a $50,000 check cut by Taos Ski Valley. The flights into Taos will originate from Dallas and Austin. Dallas will be almost a direct competitor to the three American Airlines flights from Dallas into Santa Fe on weekdays. Austin will
be a totally new route into Northern New Mexico. Will the flights cannibalize Santa Fe’s commercial air market? From Norden to the Air Alliance to Santa Fe city councilors, no one who is deeply involved voiced concerns that they will. On the contrary, Norden tells SFR that Taos Ski Valley sees its new air service and Santa Fe’s continued push for more commercial flights as complementary. “This is truly an economic development initiative,” he says, noting that Taos Air won’t demand passengers ski or stay at the resort, and other ski destinations including Angel Fire and Red River are likely to benefit as well. “We rely heavily on the service that comes in and out of Santa Fe. We rely heavily on the service that comes in and out of Albuquerque. So, I think it’s just one more approach that somebody can take.” Taos Ski Valley has no plans to pull out of the alliance or to cut off funding, Norden says, though he stopped short of promising the resort would keep its financial stake in the venture at current levels. “We’ll have to look at that. We’ll have to see how things are going,’’ he says, adding that the vehicle-travel market still makes up a big part of the resort’s business, even if those who are driving from
Santa Fe and Albuquerque have flown to those two airports. Then, there’s the service level. Taos Air will operate more as a charter, leaving from private Signature Flight Support facilities at both Dallas Love Field and Austin-Bergstrom Interna-

tional Airport. Considering the hassle of flying commercial and a round-trip cost of as low as $399 (including two checked bags of up to 46 pounds total), as well as a free-for-now demo ski package, the resort is confident it will quickly fill its flights. “This is a small effort and it’s going to serve a specific clientele that wants to get
NEWS
up to Taos,” says Stuart Kirk, executive director of the Air Alliance. The group has focused on framing Santa Fe’s airport as a 21st-century economic development hub. “The more people who see that it’s easy to get here in terms of building businesses and hiring employees … that can only be good for all of us.” Kirk points out one plane can only serve so many airports. The alliance has focused its marketing efforts on Phoenix and Los Angeles for flights into Santa Fe. The capital’s airport also has daily service from Denver. The jets used for all those flights are twice as large as the Dornier jet used by Taos Air. “Our [passenger] numbers continue to go up,” says Santa Fe City Councilor Mike Harris, who sits on the city’s Airport Advisory Board. He’s not concerned about the resort pulling money from the alliance, and says no one from Taos has given any indication they have plans to do so. “Maybe they’ll view things differently, but these are good businesspeople, they’re prudent people. And if it proves to be real success, it might change their participation in the Air Alliance … but I think it will be a good thing for everybody, quite frankly.” Both the town and the ski resort in Taos have wanted commercial air service for a long time. The town’s airport just opened a crosswind runway last summer—a vital step in providing a reliable landing surface for airplanes. If airlines can’t count on a place to land in nearly all wind conditions, they’ll blow on out of town looking for another route. The 30-passenger aircraft— wings on top, jets next to the fuselage—is known for handling high altitudes and short runways, making it the top choice for Taos Ski Valley, which booked Ultimate Jet to operate the flights. Both Dallas and Austin will see three round trips a week, on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday (or a holiday Monday). Karina Armijo, who runs marketing and tourism for the town of Taos, says the town and ski resort are leveraging grants from the state to market the venture. She says Taos Ski Valley has promised to cover operations through the ski season and there’s the possibility of continuing flights into the summer, if lodgers and others see enough promise for summertime service. She’s also not terribly worried that a dismal snow year will tank the nascent airline. “Last winter was a really good indicator that people don’t come just to ski,” she says.

maries] outweighs any unfounded fear” of disingenuous voting, Toulouse Oliver says. Toulouse Oliver’s Republican challenger, Clarkson, frames his own position on open primaries in a way that highlights his campaign’s central theme: the secretary of state’s perceived partisanship in the discharging of her duties. A professor and self-described “military brat” whose grandfather had roots in Las Cruces, Clarkson is currently suing his former employer, New Mexico State University, which terminated him for reasons he says are culturally and racially discriminatory. (He is a conservative Christian and a member of the Choctaw Nation.) “The role of the secretary of state is to implement the law as passed by the Legislature,” Clarkson said in a televised debate last month. “It doesn’t matter what

ecretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver, a Democrat, faces not one but two opponents in the general election this November. Both of them, Republican Gavin Clarkson and Libertarian Ginger Grider, were parties to a legal challenge to Toulouse Oliver’s late-hour attempt to reinstate straight-party voting on ballots. The unpopular plan, opposed even by some Democrats, was struck down by the state Supreme Court last month. The defeat for Toulouse Oliver has colored the race in its home stretch. And it stands as a kind of proxy for the claims her opponents have lobbed at Toulouse Oliver: Time and again, she has overstepped the authority granted to her office. Toulouse Oliver won the job in a special election two years ago after her Republican predecessor resigned and later served time on corruption charges. She insists that her support for straightparty voting was motivated by a desire to improve voter participation and not to swing the vote for Democrats, as critics claim. According to an Albuquerque Journal poll from Sept. 21, Toulouse Oliver led her two opponents at 46 percent, compared to Clarkson’s 32 percent and Grider’s 6. Secretaries of state are elected to four-year terms. “I was disappointed, because unfortunately the court left a really big question unanswered, [which is:] Under what authority did every secretary of state up until [former Secretary of State Dianna Duran] implement straight-party voting from 1917 all the way to 2010?” she tells SFR. The former Bernalillo County clerk believes New Mexico is “at the forefront of a lot of innovation for opening up the vote,” including online voter registration and the ability to opt-in while obtaining an ID at the Motor Vehicle Division. She wants to take a page from other states and implement vote-at-home procedures, wherein registered voters receive their ballots in the mail, and supports same-day voter registration. She also wants New Mexico to join a majority of states with open primaries, so that people can vote in primary elections without registering with a particular party. “The ability for folks to participate and have their voices heard [in open pri-

my personal position is on open primaries. If the Legislature asks me to come up with a position on open primaries, with my staff I’ll do the analysis and I’ll make arguments for it and against it.” But Clarkson, who was tapped by the state GOP to run after he lost the primary race for outgoing Rep. Steve Pearce’s congressional seat, has himself adopted a partisan political style. He’s tagged Fox News on Twitter to comment on Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s claims of Native American heritage and associated, without evidence, Toulouse Oliver and “Antifa” for her support of private donor disclosure requirements, among other aggressively Trumpish tweets. A sore spot for Clarkson is reporting from ProPublica that connected him to a loan his company made to an Indian tribe in 2009 for the purchase of a brokerage firm that eventually went bankrupt.
NEWS
Clarkson was tapped by the Trump administration last June to oversee a division of the Bureau of Indian Affairs that is still trying to avoid a $20 million payout as a result of the smelly deal Clarkson engineered. ProPublica’s story ran last year, on Nov. 7. A week later, the news organization reported that Clarkson had resigned in disgrace from his position, citing an unnamed department official. The Washington Post also reported Clarkson’s resignation that day. Clarkson says he resigned to run for Congress. He forwarded to SFR a resignation letter addressed to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke dated Dec. 29. “#FakeNews says I resigned from the Trump administration Nov. 13th. FALSE! I didn’t leave until Dec. 29th, and that was to run for Congress. I’ll be setting the record straight,” Clarkson tweeted about the matter on Jan. 8. A follow-up report from the Inspector General published in February found that Clarkson had violated other ethical guidelines during his short stint on the job, including attempted nepotism. He called the report “false allegations” by “Deep State bureaucrats and Obama holdovers.” He believes that New Mexico under Toulouse Oliver has allowed large numbers of deceased people and non-citizens on the voter rolls. Toulouse Oliver denies these claims. Ginger Grider of Portales got on the ballot with the Libertarian party a little over a month ago, after its first candidate dropped out. A medical cannabis advocate and stay-at-home mother who didn’t attend a Santa Fe League of Women Voters forum this month, Grider says she came to the party after the last presidential election when she phone-banked for Gary Johnson, the party’s Senate candidate running to take Democrat Martin Heinrich’s seat. As secretary of state, Grider says she would contact all county clerks to assess election proceedures. She would also work with the new governor’s administration to find places in the state’s budget where cuts could be made—not typically a role played by the secretary of state. Similar to Clarkson, Grider was moved to challenge Toulouse Oliver for her seat after the latter’s unsuccessful push for straight-party voting. Another legal complainant against the initiative alongside Grider and Clarkson, the Elect Liberty PAC, is a fundraising group supporting Johnson’s Senate campaign. The role of the secretary of state “is an administrative position and in no shape, form, or fashion should the office ever be used for partisanship or trading favors,” Grider says.

The situation today may feel as desolate as the illustration by SFR’s Anson Stevens-Bollen suggests, “but Censored 2019 is a book about fighting fake news,” editors Andy Lee Roth and Mickey Huff observed in the book’s introduction. In the end, they argued that “critical media education—rather than censorship, blacklists, privatized fact-checkers or legislative bans—is the best weapon for fighting the ongoing fake news invasion.” Project Censored’s annual list of 25 censored stories, which makes up the book’s
lengthy first chapter, is one of the best resources one can have for such education. Censorship and fake news are “intertwined issues,” they write. The list of censored stories can be read in two different ways: “As a critique of the shortcomings of US corporate news media for their failure to adequately cover these stories; or as a celebration of independent news media, without which we would remain either uninformed or misinformed about these crucial stories and issues.” Here, then, is Project Censored’s Top 10 for 2018:
GLOBAL DECLINE IN RULE OF LAW AS BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS DIMINISH According to the World Justice Project Rule of Law Index 2017–2018, a striking worldwide decline in basic human rights has driven an overall decline in the rule of law since October 2016, the month before Donald Trump’s election. Fundamental rights—one of eight categories measured—declined in 71 out of 113 nations surveyed. Overall, 34 percent of countries’ scores declined, while just 29 percent improved. The United States ranked 19th, down one from 2016, with declines in checks on government powers and deepening discrimination. Fundamental rights include absence of discrimination, right to life and security, due process, freedom of expression and religion, right to privacy, freedom of association and labor rights. “All signs point to a crisis not just for human rights, but for the human rights movement,” Yale professor of history and law Samuel Moyn told The Guardian the day the index was released. “Within many nations, these fundamental rights are falling prey to the backlash against a globalizing economy in which the rich are winning.” Constraints on government powers, which measures the extent to which those who govern are bound by law, saw the second greatest declines (64 countries out of 113 dropped). This is where the United States saw the greatest deterioration, according to World Justice Project. The United States also scored notably poorly on several measurements of discrimination. The four Nordic countries—Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden—remained in the top four positions. New Zealand, Canada and Australia were the only top 10 countries outside of Europe. “The WJP’s 2017–2018 Rule of Law Index received scant attention from US corporate media,” Project Censored noted. The only coverage they found was a Newsweek article drawing on The Guardian’s coverage. This pattern of ignoring international comparisons, across all sub-
“OPEN-SOURCE” INTELLIGENCE SECRETS SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDERS In March 2017, WikiLeaks began releasing a series it named Vault 7, the first installment of which is a trove of 8,761 leaked confidential CIA files about its global hacking programs. WikiLeaks described it as the “largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.” It drew significant media attention. But almost no one noticed what George Eliason of OpEdNews pointed out. “Sure, the CIA has all these tools available,” Eliason pointed out. “Yes, they are used on the public. The important part is [that] it’s not the CIA that’s using them. That’s the part that needs to frighten you.” As Eliason went on to explain, the CIA’s mission prevents it from using the tools, especially on Americans. “All the tools are unclassified, opensource, and can be used by anyone,” Eliason explained. “It makes them not exactly usable for secret agent work. That’s what makes it impossible for them to use Vault 7 tools directly.” Drawing heavily on more than a decade of reporting by Tim Shorrock for Mother Jones and The Nation, Eliason’s series reported on the explosive growth of private contractors in the intelligence community, which allows the CIA and other agencies to gain access to intelligence gathered by methods they’re prohibited from using. In a 2016 report for The Nation, Shorrock estimated that 80 percent of about 58,000 private intelligence contractors worked for the five largest companies. He concluded that “not only has intelligence been privatized to an unimaginable degree, but an unprecedented consolidation of corporate power inside US intelligence has left the country dangerously dependent on a handful of companies for its spying and surveillance needs.” Eliason reported how private contrac-
tors pioneered open-source intelligence by circulating or selling the information they gathered before the agency employing them had reviewed and classified it. Therefore, “no one broke any laws.” Corporate media reporting on Vault 7 sometimes noted, but failed to focus on, the dangerous role of private contractors, Project Censored pointed out—with the notable exception of a Washington Post op-ed in which Shorrock reviewed his previous reporting and concluded that overreliance on private intelligence contractors was “a liability built into our system that intelligence officials have long known about and done nothing to correct.” ANS ON STEV ENS -BOL LEN
ject matter, is pervasive in the corporate media. It severely cripples our capacity for objective self-reflection and self-improvement as a nation.
WORLD’S RICHEST 1 PERCENT CONTINUE TO BECOME WEALTHIER In November 2017, Credit Suisse released its eighth annual Global Wealth Report, which The Guardian reported on under the headline, “Richest 1% own half the world’s wealth, study finds.” The wealth share of the world’s richest people increased from 42.5 percent at the height of the 2008 financial crisis to 50.1 percent in 2017, The Guardian reported, adding that “the biggest losers … are young people who should not expect to become as rich as their parents.” Despite being more educated, “millennials are doing less well than their parents at the same age, especially in relation to income, home ownership and other dimensions of well-being assessed in this report,” Credit Suisse Chairman Urs Rohner said. “At the other end of the spectrum, the world’s 3.5 billion poorest adults each have assets of less than $10,000,” The Guardian reported. “Collectively, these people, who account for 70 percent of the world’s working-age population, account for just 2.7 percent of global wealth.” “Tremendous concentration of wealth and the extreme poverty that results from it are problems that affect everyone in the world, but wealth inequalities do not receive nearly as much attention as they should in the establishment press,” Project Censored noted.

Don’t bet on it, according to decades of buried research reviewed in a March 2018 investigation for The Nation by Mark Hertsgaard and Mark Dowie. “The wireless industry not only made the same moral choices that the tobacco and fossil fuel industries did, it also borrowed from the same public relations playbook those industries pioneered,” Hertsgaard and Dowie reported. “Wireless executives have chosen not to publicize what their own scientists have said about the risks of their products.” Their investigation comes at the same time as several new reports are bringing the issue to the fore. They include findings of higher risks of miscarriage, an increased risk for glioma (a type of brain tumor), and a disclosure by the National Frequency Agency of France that nine out CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

of 10 cell phones exceed government radiation safety limits when tested in the way they are actually used, next to the human body. “The wireless industry has ‘war-gamed’ science by playing offense as well as defense, actively sponsoring studies that result in published findings supportive of the industry, while aiming to discredit competing research that raises questions about the safety of cellular devices and other wireless technologies,” Project Censored summarized. “When studies have linked wireless radiation to cancer or genetic damage, industry spokespeople have pointed out that the findings are disputed by other researchers.” While some local media have covered the findings of a few selected studies, Project Censored notes, “the norm for corporate media is to report the telecom industry line—that is, that evidence linking Wi-Fi and cellphone radiation to health issues, including cancer and other medical problems, is either inconclusive or disputed. … As Hertsgaard and Dowie’s The Nation report suggested, corporate coverage of this sort is partly how the telecom industry remains successful in avoiding the consequences of [its] actions.”
WASHINGTON POST BANS EMPLOYEES FROM USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO CRITICIZE SPONSORS On May 1, 2017, the Washington Post introduced a policy prohibiting its employees from criticizing its advertisers and business partners, and encouraging them to snitch on one another. “A new social-media policy at the
was seeking removal of the controversial parts in a new labor agreement. A follow-up report by Whitney Webb for MintPress News highlighted the broader possible censorship effects, as prohibiting social media criticism could spill over into reporting as well. “Among the Washington Post’s advertisers are corporate giants like GlaxoSmithKline, Bank of America and Koch Industries,” Webb wrote. “With the new policy, social media posts criticizing GlaxoSmithKline’s habit of making false and misleading claims about its products, inflating prices and withholding crucial drug safety information from the government will no longer be made by Post employees.” Beyond that, Webb suggested it could protect the CIA, which has a $600 million contract with Amazon Web Services. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos purchased the Post four months after that contract was signed. In 2013, former Post writer John Hanrahan told Alternet: “Post reporters and editors are aware that Bezos, as majority owner of Amazon, has a financial stake in maintaining good relations with the CIA—and this sends a clear message to even the hardest-nosed journalist that making the CIA look bad might not be a good career move.” It’s part of a much broader problem, identified in Jeremy Iggers’ 1998 book, Good News, Bad News: Journalism Ethics and the Public Interest. Iggers argued that journalism ethics focused on individual reporters completely missed the larger issue of corporate conflicts whose systemic effects fundamentally undermined journalism’s role in a democracy.
the norm for corporate media is to report the telecom industry line—that is, that evidence linking Wi-Fi and cellphone radiation to health issues, including cancer and other medical problems, is either inconclusive or disputed.
Washington Post prohibits conduct on social media that ‘adversely affects the Post’s customers, advertisers, subscribers, vendors, suppliers or partners,’” Andrew Beaujon reported in The Washingtonian the next month. “In such cases, Post management reserves the right to take disciplinary action ‘up to and including termination of employment.’” Beaujon also cited “a clause that encourages employees to snitch on one another: ‘If you have any reason to believe that an employee may be in violation of The Post’s Social Media Policy … you should contact The Post’s Human Resources Department.’” At the time, the Washington-Baltimore News Guild, which represents the Post’s employees, was protesting the policy and
RUSSIAGATE: TWO-HEADED MONSTER OF PROPAGANDA AND CENSORSHIP Is Russiagate a censored story? In my view, not exactly. And that’s one reason I suggested that Project Censored add “fake news” as a new analytical category to examine annually along with its censored stories list, “junk food news,” and “news abuse.” What Project Censored calls attention to is important: “Corporate media coverage of Russiagate has created a two-headed monster of propaganda and censorship. By saturating news coverage with a sensationalized narrative, Russiagate has superseded other important, newsworthy stories.” As a frustrated journalist with omnivorous interests, I heartily concur— but what’s involved is too complex to simply be labelled “propaganda.” In April 2017, Aaron Maté reported for The Intercept on a quantitative study of MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show from February 20 to March 31, 2017, which found that “Russia-focused segments accounted for 53 percent of these broadcasts.” Maté wrote: “Maddow’s Russia coverage has dwarfed the time devoted to other top issues, including Trump’s escalating crackdown on undocumented immigrants; Obamacare repeal; the legal battle over Trump’s Muslim ban; a surge of anti-GOP activism and town halls since Trump took office; and Trump administration scandals and stumbles.”

paganda and spin. On the other hand, the censorship of alternative journalistic voices is far more clear-cut and straightforward. In a report for watchdog group Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting, Robin Andersen examined Russiagate-inspired censorship moves by Twitter, Google and others. A key initial target was Russia Today (RT). “RT’s reporting bears striking similarities to alternative and independent media content, and that is why letting the charges against RT stand unexamined is so dangerous,” Andersen noted. “Yet in the battle against fake news,
much of the best, most accurate independent reporting is disappearing from Google searches,” Anderson said. There were declines for AlterNet. org (63 percent), CounterPunch.org (21 percent), ConsortiumNews.com (47 percent), DemocracyNow.org (36 percent), TheIntercept.com (19 percent) and MediaMatters.org (42 percent), among others. “Many people suffer when lies are reported as facts, but it seems that corporate media are the only ones that profit when they reinforce blind hostility—against not only Russia but also legitimate domestic dissent,” Project Censored noted.

Well and good. But is this propaganda? At Truthdig, Norman Solomon wrote: “As the cable news network most trusted by Democrats as a liberal beacon, MSNBC plays a special role in fueling rage among progressive-minded viewers toward Russia’s ‘attack on our democracy’ that is somehow deemed more sinister and newsworthy than corporate dominance of American politics (including Democrats), racist voter suppression, gerrymandering and many other US electoral defects all put together.” Also true. But not so much propaganda as Project Censored’s broader category of “news abuse,” which includes pro-
REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE AS “NEXT STAGE” OF CIVILIZATION The world’s agricultural and degraded soils have the capacity to recover 50 to 66 percent of the historic carbon loss to the atmosphere, according to a 2004 paper in Science, actually reversing the processes driving global warming. A set of practices known as “regenerative agriculture” could play a major role in accomplishing that, while substantially increasing crop yields as well, according to information compiled and published by Ronnie Cummins, director of the Organic Consumers Association, in May 2017. “For thousands of years we grew food by depleting soil carbon and, in the last hundred or so, the carbon in fossil fuel as well,” food and farming writer Michael Polin wrote. “But now we know how to grow even more food while at the same time returning carbon and fertility and water to the soil.” In addition to global warming, there are profound economic and social justice concerns involved. “Out-of-touch and out-of-control governments of the world now take our tax money and spend $500 billion … a year mainly subsidizing 50 million industrial farmers to do the wrong thing,” Cummins wrote. “Meanwhile, 700 million small family farms and herders, comprising the 3 billion people who produce 70 percent of the world’s food on just 25 percent of the world’s acreage, struggle to make ends meet.” If you’ve never heard of regenerative agriculture before, don’t be surprised.

Is the new Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center part of your plan? When we built the new Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center and our clinic on St. Michael’s Drive, we built them for all of Santa Fe. We wanted to accept nearly all health plans, but some insurers chose not to provide access to our facility for their health plan members through 2019. To receive services at the Santa Fe Medical Center and our St. Michael’s clinic, you might have to change your health plan during open enrollment. When you choose a plan that gives you access to Presbyterian, you get a hospital, an urgent care and a 24/7 ER all in one convenient location. Plus, you get access to our clinic for primary care and other appointments.
Make sure you have access to the choice you’ve been waiting for. Call 505-SantaFe (505-726-8233) for up-to-date information on which health plans contract with Presbyterian.

CONGRESS PASSES INTRUSIVE DATA SHARING LAW UNDER COVER OF SPENDING BILL On March 21, House Republicans introduced a 2,232-page omnibus spending bill. It passed both chambers and was signed into law in two days. Attached to the spending provisions that made it urgent “must-pass” legislation was the completely unrelated Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act of 2018, also known as the CLOUD Act. “The CLOUD Act enables the US government to acquire data across international borders regardless of other nations’ data privacy laws and without the need for warrants,” Project Censored summarized. It also significantly weakens protections against foreign government actions. “It was never reviewed or marked up by
any committee in either the House or the Senate,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s David Ruiz wrote. “It never received a hearing.” “Because of this failure, your private emails, your online chats, your Facebook, Google, Flickr photos, your Snapchat videos, your moments shared digitally between only those you trust, will be open to foreign law enforcement without a warrant and with few restrictions on using and sharing your information, privacy and human rights,” concluded Robyn Greene, who reported for Just Security. “The little corporate news coverage that the CLOUD Act received tended to put a positive spin on it,” Project Censored noted. A glowing Washington Post op-ed “made no mention of potential risks to the privacy of citizens’ personal data.”
INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AROUND WORLD HELPING TO WIN LEGAL RIGHTS OF NATURE In March 2017, the government of New Zealand ended a 140-year dispute with an Indigenous Maori tribe by enacting a
law that officially recognized the Whanganui River, which the tribe considers its ancestor, as a living entity with rights. The Guardian reported it as “a world-first,” although the surrounding Te Urewera region had been similarly recognized in a 2014 law, and the US Supreme Court came within one vote of potentially recognizing such a right in the 1972 case Sierra Club v. Morton. In addition, the broader idea of “rights of nature” has been adopted in Ecuador, Bolivia and by some American communities, noted Mihnea Tanasescu, writing for The Conversation. The tribe’s lead negotiator, Gerrard Albert, explained the tribe’s perspective to The Guardian: “We consider the river an ancestor and always have. We have fought to find an approximation in law so that all others can understand that from our perspective treating the river as a living entity is the correct way to approach it, as an indivisible whole, instead of the traditional model for the last 100 years of treating it from a perspective of ownership and management.” Kayla DeVault reported for YES! Magazine that others are advancing this perspective: “In response to the Standing Rock Sioux battle against the Dakota Access Pipeline, the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin amended its constitution to include the Rights of Nature. This is the first time a North American tribe has used a Western legal framework to adopt such laws. Some American municipalities
As white supremacists were preparing for the “Unite the Right” demonstration in Charlottesville, which resulted in the murder of Heather Heyer in August 2017, the FBI’s counterterrorism division produced an intelligence assessment warning of a very different—though actually non-existent—threat: “Black Identity Extremists.” The report appeared to be the first time the term had been used to identify a movement, according to Foreign Policy, which broke the story. “But former government officials and legal experts said no such movement exists, and some expressed concern that the term is part of a politically motivated effort to find an equivalent threat to white supremacists,” Foreign Policy reported. “It’s classic Hoover-style labeling with little bit of maliciousness and euphemism wrapped up together,” said William Maxwell, a Washington University professor working on a book about FBI monitoring of black writers. “The language—black identity extremist—strikes me as weird and really a continuation of the worst of Hoover’s past.” “The corporate media [has] covered the FBI report on ‘black identity extremists’ in narrow or misleading ways,” Project Censored noted, citing examples from the New York Times, Fox News and NBC News. “Coverage like this both draws focus away from the active white supremacist movement and feeds the hate and fear on which such a movement thrives.” Read more at projectcensored.org.

He returned to India in 2012, he says, after “four years of 100 percent failure rate,” and stayed another month. His fascination with the ancient technology led him to spend the next decade “trying to figure out a process. … It completely took over the creative side of art-making and it became all about how to make this process work.” Watson has since taught the technique in 36 workshops in six different countries. He gives an artist’s talk on the luted crucible technique at MAKE Santa Fe on Saturday Oct. 27, which launches a series of events in November that joins Watson’s ancient method with more contemporary 3-D technology, culminating in a Luted Crucible Meets 3-D Printing Workshop on Nov. 17 and 18. In short, participants will have the opportunity first to 3-D scan original objects, and then later render them into a more permanent form using Watson’s casting method.

S
culptor Piers Watson first encountered the metal casting process that would take over his practice and thoughts in 2008 in rural India. He traveled there specifically to see “if there was anybody still casting metal using the ancient methods.” On that initial trip, he spent a month in the Bastar District in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh learning a method that dates from the 10th century that he would come to call the luted crucible technique. In this pre-industrial metal casting practice, Watson says, “Essentially what’s happening is you’re taking a clay crucible and a clay mold with your wax object inside of it and luting the two together; joining the two together with more clay, and that’s creating the object called the luted crucible, with the mold on top and crucible with the metal on the bottom.”
Watson himself has been using 3-D scanning in his work. “For me, it’s great,” he says, “because I was starting to get a little frustrated with what I can do with beeswax. … We made some things the other day that I’m excited to try to cast. … It’s opened up a whole new way of approaching the casting process for me.” The technique is particularly suited to smaller objects; Watson, for example, has been using it to develop a jewelry line. Andrew Woodard, MAKE’s education coordinator and a sculptor himself, says the luted crucible technique is particularly attractive because “it’s easy to replicate and very low-tech”—it can be done anywhere with just a few materials. The process also allows creators to forego working with foundries and instead have a hands-on experience for the entire creation of their work. This autonomy also makes for an exciting creative process, Watson says, “because you’re in control of all aspects of it; every part of the process can be something that adds to the creative outcome.” At the same time, Woodard notes, the dual emphasis on using 3-D scanning and printing will address local artists’ evolving goals with that technology. “It’s maturing to a point where a lot of artists who are working in Santa Fe … with 3-D printing are looking for that noble mate-

rial, taking something that’s plastic and making it into something permanent,” he says. “Bronze lasts forever. … It becomes a legacy piece rather than a prototype or a rapid creation.” MAKE Santa Fe provides regular instruction on everything from blacksmithing to sewing machines to laser cutting, and Executive Director Molly Samsell says this workshop series is taking the organization’s classes in new directions. “What excites me about this workshop is it’s using multiple processes,” she says. “Our previous workshops have been more introductory or skill-based. This is taking it to the next level … to apply a tool across disciplines.” The interdisciplinary focus reflects how artists are working technologically, Woodard says, creating and refining their works in both analog and digital spaces. While Watson’s workshops will have particular appeal to sculptors, 3-D technology has artistic possibilities in multiple genres—Woodard’s gallery in Madrid, Process Art Studio (in Gypsy Plaza at 3 Firehouse Lane), also sells 3-D-created paintings. While participants will use computers to scan the pieces they plan to make with bronze later, the luted crucible portion of the workshop will take place outside with basic elements—Woodard and Watson were preparing to dig the holes for the process. Previous students have found the technique as absorbing as he has, Watson says. “Things that happen at above-normal temperatures are really fascinating,” he says. “Fire is really exciting, and the hotter it gets, the more interesting.” PIERS WATSON ARTIST TALK 5:30 pm Saturday Oct. 27.

And while Back to the Future remains Fox’s biggest hit, Teen Wolf was unleashed in ’85 as well.

Zomba Moves The undead take over the mall, and it ain’t pretty Bring someone you love to Santa Fe Dead, because it’s a creative, fun, spooky Halloween adventure. But also bring someone you hate to Santa Fe Dead, because it will scare the crap out of them. Maybe no one with a heart condition though, because we don’t want any actual Santa Fe dead. The Santa Fe Playhouse revives its interactive theater zombie-apocalypse haunted house from last year (which we loved) with new characters, a new plot, and a new location: They’ve taken over an empty Zumba studio in the Santa Fe Place mall. (Yes, some of the walls are still jaunty fluorescent colors.) In groups of up to six people, everyone gets a Nerf gun with neurotoxin darts that kill the zombies. Resistance teams depart every 20 minutes for the 45-minute experience, and you’re led through an impossibly spooky, dimly lit labyrinthine maze of walls, tarps and rubble by a trained guide who tells you everything you need to know. Of course, the undead (called “tourists” here) come at you at every turn and do everything in their power
to stop you from assembling a massive weapon that will wipe out all the zombies in the city. It’s not recommended for kids under 12 (and, in this writer’s case, maybe not kids under 35), and guests under 16 need to have an adult with them. Impulsive folks, be cool and don’t punch or kick anyone. Don’t arrive drunk or be a jerk. And we gotta disclose that the experience’s director, Matthew K Gutierrez, sometimes contributes to SFR’s movie section—but check out Santa Fe Dead and you’ll see we’d have recommended it no matter who was running it.

The Dream of the ‘90s
TREVOR MURPHY
MUSIC
Ten Ten Division has a new EP out right now and recently brought bassist Paul Wagner (far left) into the fold.
Ten Ten Division is at its best when it breaks from the past BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he children of the ’90s have grown up. Tuning in to Cartoon Network, you can tell that the kids who were inundated by the metered insanity of Ren & Stimpy are now getting paid to illustrate their own adult jokes woven throughout after-school time slots; you can sell a million copies of a video game that looks like it is housed in an SNES cartridge with 16-bit graphics. As for bands, a lot is being said of a ’90s “revival.” In the best cases, it’s an evolution of sounds from back when “alternative” was a valid description for what is apparently now just classic rock. Nashville’s Bully, for example, exemplifies what was so anthemic of mainstream radio rock while injecting a modern sense of seething irony that delivers something ferocious and contemporary.
On Flowers & Bones—the debut EP from Santa Fe’s Ten Ten Division—the sound of the ’90s is definitely present, but it satisfies when breaking away from those echoes of the past, which largely occur on its back half. It’s the sound of a band trying to figure out where they are as collaborators and on the greater timeline of rock music. Bones kicks off with “Run,” a tune that checks every box you’d expect from a band claiming ’90s alterna-rock songstress Liz Phair as a major influence. Primary songwriter and singer Vonnie Kyle’s vocals are isolated in the mix here, booming out ahead of the instrumentation as she jumps through vocal acrobatics with a theatrical throatiness. The players are capable, the song is solid and, as an opener to the six-song collection, it meets expectations rather than exceeds them. The first time our ears perk up comes on the title track and its follow-up “Puerto Rico.” These songs feel like outliers when speaking to Kyle, and both complicate the studio formula Ten Ten Division has set for itself. “Flowers & Bones” is

These members help highlight the songwriting by collaborating and building on it, and the music is at its best when it steers into unexpected corners. Kyle as a singer further shapes the songs, too, creating new opportunities for harmonies that help to circumvent cliches of the era and genre. “That’s really my favorite part of recording—layering in lots of vocals,” says Kyle. On the strong closer “Bird’s Eye View,” you can hear that passion. Ultimately, Ten Ten Division has made a competent first step with Flower & Bones, offering up a promise that will hopefully be delivered upon more fully with the band’s upcoming debut fulllength. Hopefully they grow more comfortable with their odder impulses and break away from traditions as often as they embrace them.

the only track of the six that has no layered backing vocals and was recorded live—even at the risk of bleeding onto the instrumental tracks. Before then, “It just wasn’t coming together,” Kyle tells SFR. “That one is, vocally, more soulful.” It pays off to let those vocals fly on their own. “Puerto Rico” delivers even further, adding a classic 1960s girl-group rhythm complete with a doo-wop style for one of the more vibrant moments on the EP. “That’s the weird one,” Kyle explains. “When I started writing the vocals on it, all the layers of background vocals, there’s almost this underlying Motown vibe to it.” Kyle is indeed a prolific songwriter, and Ten Ten Division is built on the blueprints of her lyrics and melodies. That can be for better or worse in a band, and she has smartly surrounded herself with a lot of local talent, including multi-instrumentalist and recording wiz David Badstubner on drums, stalwart guitarist Dan Mench-Thurlow, and Dylan Blanchard (of Future Scars and his own project, Blanchard) on bass and organ.

Bill Plympton
PRESIDENTIAL SEARCH The Governing Board of Santa Fe Community College invites applications and nominations for the position of President. COURTESY BILL PLYMPTON
There may not be an American name more synonymous with hand-drawn animation than Bill Plympton, the mad genius behind such endearing and impressive animated films as The Tune, Idiots & Angels, Cheatin’ and so many more. Plympton’s career has been so prolific, in fact, that the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival honors him with a lifetime achievement award and a screening of his 2016 film created with writer/voice actor Jim Lujan, Revengeance. As lifelong Plympton fans, we reached out to hear more, tell him we love him and learn that those who attend the event can meet him afterwards for a free drawing. Score! (Alex De Vore) What does it feel like to get a lifetime achievement award? Weird? Exciting? Some combo? Well, it’s definitely exciting, and always a pleasure to get them. I’ve had a few before, and it’s always a pleasure. In a sense, they want to make a big splash when I come out, so they say, ‘Let’s give him an award and get a big audience.’ But [the festival] values my work, I think it’s genuine. Filmmakers are very suspicious of people saying they love them and love all their work, because sometimes people just want to be friends with you. It seems like Revengeance has a different look than we’re used to from you. Oh, absolutely. Let me go back: I’ve been going to San Diego Comic Con for 15, almost 20 years, and this guy keeps coming up and saying hi to me, Jim Lujan is his name; saying that he’s a big fan, and he hands me a DVD of his work and I say that’s nice, thank you. But I get a lot of DVDs, I don’t have time to watch them all. About three years later, it was a rainy night in New York City with nothing to do, and I happened to spot one of his DVDs, and I was just stunned by his imagination and his writing talent. His stories are very similar to mine in terms of the crazy, dark humor, so I called him up and said I love his stuff. Then he wrote [Revengeance] in about three months. There are about 40,000 drawings in there, however, we did color it on computer since to paint cells would take forever and be expensive. And y’know, I realized after going to a couple screenings that it’s a stoner film. The characters are so twisted and bent, and it really pulls the film together—so I encourage the people of Santa Fe to take a few tokes before they head in. Do you think hand-drawn animation still has a place and can continue to grow? I think it’s very viable. People are starting to get tired of the computer look, especially the really bad computer films—they’re really amateurish. Maybe I’m speaking just for myself, but I love to see something animated by hand. It’s like going to a museum and seeing a Degas or an NC Wyeth or someone like that.

hat if you could drive out into a wild corner of the desert, pour yourself a few fingers of rye, and sit down to hammer out disputes with the man who inspired a generation of disobedient naturalists bent on bombing dams and sawing down billboards? And in doing so, you could take that icon to task for championing anarchy and individualism in a way that narrows a movement that, now more than ever, needs to broaden is base? That’s just what Amy Irvine does in Desert Cabal: A New Season in the Wilderness, a collection of essays addressed to and in conversation with iconic desert rat and writer Edward Abbey. Irvine’s work started as an introductory essay to a 50th-anniversary edition of Desert Solitaire that would see his hand-revised manuscript published. Irvine is a sixth-generation Utahn and, like Abbey, has worked as a park ranger. She’s spent her own fair share of time striding solo through those canyons. But when she sat to write that 3,000-word intro, she entered into “10 days of a fever dream,” from which she emerged with about 18,000 words of something else entirely. “It felt like all these tributaries coming together into this raging river,” she tells SFR. “I had this strong physical sensation that it needed to stand on its own, that it needed to have its own spine and speak directly to Abbey, because of the way women are speaking directly now about their experiences.”
Irvine begins by pulling up alongside Abbey’s grave somewhere in southern Arizona and declaring, “Hey, Mr. Abbey, can you hear me down there? … We should talk.” If you are not both schooled in the current assault on public lands and bedrock environmental laws, as well as familiar with personalities from Katie Lee to Dean Potter the text will at times feel unmooring. This is not a beginner’s course; it’s an ongoing dialogue among those in the know. But as any good eavesdropper knows, sometimes walking in on someone else’s conversation can be most illuminating. Abbey’s rugged individualism has lured so many followers that southern Utah now suffers the consequences of popularity in the form of heavy traffic, crowded trails and congested campgrounds. “You, Mr. Abbey, may have developed whole fleets—generations’ worth—of desert defend-ers, but now they’re out there en masse, bumping into one another on the very ground on which you taught them to go lightly and alone,” Irvine writes. “They are as much the problem as they are the solution.” The news Irvine breaks graveside is

a generation of female activists and the #MeToo movement. That’ll mean a conversation about wilderness—and this mythical vision of it as untrammeled by man when it has been lived in and shaped by humans for millennia—as well as how social justice is deeply entangled with environmental issues. The point, Irvine says, is to ask, “What are we missing in this ideal?” “There’s sort of an ivory cabin syndrome in the American nature writing canon that’s happened in particular around wilderness,” Irvine says. “We really have to open the door to the cabin, because there are all these voices out bumping around in the wilderness.” And it’s not just a matter of women and minorities. Conservative public land users like ranchers and farmers who have their own love of the land, along with their own ideas on how to preserve and protect it, have been alienated from these conversations, Irvine says. “We have to find a way to step over that divide and say, ‘Here are the places I agree with you,’” she adds. “The misanthropy that he brings to the table as part of that value of solitude is a dangerous one in a very crowded planet, and we really can’t afford to isolate anybody. … We need a multitude of people speaking and acting on behalf of public lands.” So her book is labeled with the antonym—not a Desert Solitaire, but a “cabal” now, a faction bent on political upheaval. The issues faced today, Irvine argues, will call not for rugged solitude, but for collective force. S.

that the world, and specifically “Abbey’s country,” has changed. But so, too, has our tolerance for the kinds of attitudes we can only hope Abbey adopted as a literary device, Irvine writes; the same way he presents himself as a loner when, in fact, he had a wife (rotating through five of them before his death) and children (also five). If we monkey-wrenchers are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that the disparaging things he wrote about minorities and women can’t just be given a pass as “boys will be boys,” and there’s no telling senti where those sentiments would place him in a landscape that now includes Standing Rock and Black Lives Matter,

SFRE PORTE R .CO M /A RTS /ACTI N G O UT
ACTING OUT August in Autumn t feels almost offensive to reduce great American playwright August Wilson’s biography to just a paragraph, but here goes: The mixed-race (African American and white) playwright, born in Pittsburgh in 1945, was faced with racial threats that caused him to drop out of school at age 15. He educated himself, became the director of Pittsburgh’s Black Horizons Theater and, skipping forward a few years, racked up some Tony Awards and eventually won two Pulitzers. He is particularly well known for his Century Cycle, a series of 10 plays, each of which explores one decade of the 20th century in an encompassing look at the African American experience. Wilson died in 2005. Whew. Okay. You got all that? Unfortunately for Santa Fe, it’s unlikely we’ll ever see a Wilson play staged here. The playwright was a huge opponent of socalled “colorblind” casting, and rightfully so; his plays are very specifically about Black America, and to throw a white person in any role would entirely change every plot. New Mexico has some incredible African American actors, but scheduling and geography would likely make getting them all in one cast impossible. So, we must be content to study these works. Thank goodness for St. John’s College, then. When SJC tutor Claudia Hauer was asked for a recommendation for a guest for a Dean’s Lecture, which happen for free most Friday nights during the school year, she brought up Nicole Jerr, an assistant professor at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs. Jerr, whose scholarship focuses on sovereignty in modern drama, chose to look closely at Wilson’s King Hedley II, and Hauer planned a community seminar, free and open to the public, for Santa Feans in the weeks leading up to the lecture to create an unofficial August Wilson intensive.
On Tuesday Oct. 23, Hauer and her “students” discuss Wilson’s Seven Guitars, the 1940s installment of the Century Cycle; on Sunday Oct. 28, there’s a screening of Fences (for which Viola Davis netted an Oscar), set in the 1950s and brought to Hollywood in 2016; then, on Tuesday Oct. 30, they look at King Hedley II, which takes place in the 1980s. Jerr’s lecture is then held on Friday Nov. 2. You don’t have to commit to all four events—Hauer’s happy to have you for any part of the conversation. The SJC model is based firmly in questions and discussion, not “professing” (hence the title “tutor,” not “professor”). “People will have read the text, I’ll ask a question, and people will take it from there,” Hauer says. “We’ll discuss some GRIFFIN SWARTZELL
I

of the issues that come up with race and memory and community. We’ll just see what people want to talk about.” If it sounds intimidating, it’s not. Even during our phone conversation, after I made what I guess was an interesting point, Hauer thoughtfully cooed, “Oh, that’s great…” then thought for a moment, then added her own thoughts. “Everybody’s welcome. We’re really friendly,” she promises. And while this is great for readers, she welcomes actors and directors, too. “I’d love a group that would talk about how this would be performed and what it would be like to take on one of the roles in the text. It’s a really interdisciplinary seminar; it’s not just ‘here’s the words on the page.’ We’re also trying to imagine our way to a performance.” Jerr’s lecture closes the mini-intensive, and she’ll take a look at how King Hedley II draws comparisons to the Greek tragedy Oedipus (circa 429 BC) with each piece’s focus on the identity of their titular characters’ fathers. Presenting this topic at a school that focuses on the “Great Books” feels a little on-the-nose, and I asked whether she makes this point specifically for the SJC audience, or if she came to it unrelated. “I suppose the answer is a little bit of both,” she replies. “I work primarily on modern and contemporary drama, but I have a strong investment in the history of theater in general. … When I think about King Hedley II, I think that there’s what I’ll call a ‘family resemblance’ to Oedi-
THEATER
pus. In no way do I think August Wilson sat down and thought, ‘How can I adapt Oedipus?’—I’m not implying that at all. However, we’ve got two characters who are unclear about who their father is, and that this motivates in large part the tragedy that ensues.” She also cautions against putting too much weight on the comparison; when drawing lines to Oedipus, “for some people, that means, ‘Oh, good, Wilson has done something good because it’s fitting this recognizable form.’ And I’d want to challenge that. I think it’s important to recognize some of what he’s using that is part of that tradition, but also ways in which we might be doing damage to the play if we simply write it off as having value because of its relationship to this ancient model.” We reference academic America’s impulse to call Frederick Douglass “important” in large part because he was called a friend by Abraham Lincoln; no, actually, Douglass was important on his own, as a formidable scholar and activist. His greatness had nothing to do with his relationship to a white man. Similarly, Wilson’s plays, while they have a firm place within and relating to the Western canon, also stand out as important pieces of literature and drama in their own right. And, when I point out that the SJC reading list is notoriously quite pale in the face, Jerr is quick to remind me that it is an issue that all of academia needs to consider. Reading authors of color is a “conversation that any educational institution should be having. ‘What are we reading? What are we asking people to read, and how, and why?’ … These are huge questions that almost every instructor probably asks themselves when they design a syllabus. Am I only introducing them to the standards? Is there some way to challenge that?” So when it comes to this lecture, she says, “If this is a way for St. John’s students to pick up a couple of August Wilson plays, I’m all for it. … If they don’t buy my argument, that’s fine. If it just gets them talking about some things, I’m happy about that.” AUGUST WILSON EVENTS Community Seminars: 4:30-6 pm Tuesdays Oct. 23 and 30. Fences screening: 3 pm Sunday Oct. 28.

READINGS & CONVERSATIONS Lannan presents Readings & Conversations, featuring inspired literary writers of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, as well as cultural freedom advocates with a social, political, and environmental justice focus.
DAVID HARVEY with
LAURA FLANDERS
WEDNESDAY 24 OCTOBER AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER David Harvey, a Distinguished Professor of Anthropology and Geography at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, has taught Karl Marx’s Capital and its contemporary application to students and members of the public for 40 years. “Once you can hang a price tag on something,” he argues, “you can in principle put a price tag on anything, including conscience and honor, to say nothing of body parts and children.” His most
recent book is Marx, Capital, and the Madness of Economic Reason (2017), and his A Brief History of Neoliberalism (2005) is considered a primer on that critical topic across academic fields. He is the author of 27 other books. Harvey is responsible for transforming urban geography into a cutting-edge field that attracts leading scholars who ask big questions and study interconnected systems of power. Having received his PhD from the University of Cambridge, he is a fellow in the British Academy and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Laura Flanders is a journalist and creator of The Laura Flanders Show, a TV and radio program that seeks to raise radical spirits through interviews with people trying to shift power dynamics in politics, economics, and the arts.

Get Your Vegan Fix at Root 66 Come for the beer, stay for the plant-based comfort food at the Brakeroom’s new food truck addition BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he Root 66 Vegan Food Truck hides in a parking lot off Galisteo Street. It’s tucked behind the Brakeroom, Santa Fe Brewing Company’s downtown location, a modest, one-time speakeasy, one-time cigar club. The truck offers lunch and dinner Friday through Monday, not to mention a special brunch menu on weekends. Previously, Restaurant Martín was providing the tasting room with a small selection of pub grub, but those duties now fall to a rotating selection of food trucks. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, the newly opened Mediterranean-styled YummyTown Food Truck provides dinner from 4-9 pm. The rest of the week is time to get your plant-based comfort food cravings satisfied by Root 66. True to its name, the truck serves up an entirely vegan spread to complement the Brakeroom’s 18-tap selection of locally crafted beers. The menu makes no bones about mimicking meat and cheese items, like a marinated tempeh-based Reuben ($12) topped with sauerkraut, pseudo-provolone and vegan Russian dressing made with products from Follow Your Heart (the company behind Vegenaise). There are buttery-tasting biscuits with black-bean gravy ($8) and a pretzel roll topped with meatless sausage ($8). For dessert, find pumpkin spiced pancakes and flaky mini apple and ginger pies ($8 apiece). Root 66 even serves hot chocolate topped with fluffy vegan marshmallows
The Impossible Burger from Root 66, a completely plant-based substitute that’s a dead ringer for the real thing.
($3). The menu is set to rotate seasonally, and gluten-free options are also available. On cold winter days you can eat inside the Brakeroom. It feels strange but comforting to sit on cracked leather seats still fragrant with a hint of cigar smoke and eat earnest vegan food, no matter how well it passes for more carnivorous fare. Just add a pint of Java Stout ($4). Root 66 is the brainchild of chef/owner Gail Brousseau-Patak, a Jacksonville, Florida, native who converted to a vegan lifestyle eight years ago. Before opening her Santa Fe business, she founded a small vegan café in her home city called Garden Truck Food Company while working as a restaurant consultant with a veggie-based bent. In addition, she is a ardent advocate for movements such as Animal Protection
Voters, to which she donates some profits. “I’m so excited to be sharing my passion for this lifestyle,” Patak tells SFR. When I visited Root 66, a small crowd of local herbivores had taken over the wooden picnic tables outside with their sandwiches and burgers. I decided on the smoked shiitake Impossible Burger ($12), which is made from ground mushrooms and a meat substitute that tastes remarkably like real beef, thanks to an iron-rich molecule called heme. In this case, it is derived from soy and fermented by a special yeast in a similar process to brewing beer or making wine. It’s also found in all animal blood, and in addition to adding the flavor and texture of meat to a plant-based patty it brings plenty of iron and protein to the table.
FOOD
The Impossible Burger was created in 2016 by Impossible Foods, a California-based alternative food company whose “meat” made waves when it became a standing menu item in 2017 at Momofuku Nishi in New York. Last month, even White Castle joined the cause, offering the Impossible Slider for $1.99. Another boon: Impossible “beef” is surprisingly inexpensive, thanks to the company’s low cost of production, especially in comparison to the land and water necessary for raising cattle. While it appears on the menu at Rowley’s Farmhouse Ales and the Plaza Café Southside, Root 66 is the first vegan restaurant in Santa Fe to offer it. My burger came out with a hint of pinkness on the inside, thanks to the secret impossible ingredient, topped with “gouda” from Follow Your Heart and a side of potato salad with vegan mayonnaise, dill and cracked black pepper on top. While not an exact dupe for the real thing, the patty is rich, chewy and hearty, with the shiitakes cooked to a satisfying crispness and giving a flavorful crunch. As a devoted carnivore, I don’t have a problem with bleeding meat, but for diehard vegans it might be unnerving eating food that so closely resembles the real thing. Still, the Impossible Burger is a godsend of sorts for those converting to the diet for health or ethical reasons—but who miss the taste and texture of true beef. Thankfully, Root 66 makes clear concessions to those of us conditioned by carnism without sacrificing any integrity when it comes to saving the planet and providing healthy alternatives to classic junk food. Well, as healthy as pancakes and burgers can get, at any rate.

+ SOLID ACTING ALL THE WAY
It’s been a while since a movie has asked so much of its viewers, and though All Creatures Here Below opens with a pastoral scene and the hummed choral strains of the doxology, viewers don’t have a prayer. Ruby (Karen Gillan, Doctor Who, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Gensan (David Dastmalchian, Ant-Man) are a couple eking out an existence on Los Angeles’ Skid Row. We immediately find out Ruby has a past, though we don’t know much about it, and when Gensan (which is pronounced exactly like “Jensen,” though there’s never

any reference to the random spelling in the movie) loses his job making pizzas, he makes the unwise choice of betting his last paycheck on a cockfight. Don’t worry—you get to see the cockfight. You also get to see the cops show up, and the real adventure begins here. Ruby and Gensan have to get out of town, because they both do something they shouldn’t have. Director Collin Schiffli (Animals) deserves some credit for coaxing good performances from Gillan and Dastmalchian, but his plot development feels sluggish. For nearly an hour after the cockfight, we’re immersed in a dreamy travelogue that’s not peppered with enough exposition. Tense moments come too rarely, and when they do, they’re telegraphed and last too long. The result is a film that feels too often like someone told Schiffli he needed to hit a 90-minute running time. Dastmalchian wrote the screenplay, and while his turn as a leading man is solid enough, he should take some of the heat for the pacing, too. This is a tough film about a couple that hasn’t caught much in the way of a break from a rough, ugly world, and Schiffli
presents it in an unvarnished fashion—and while it makes for some thought-provoking art, if you want to feel awful about the world, you can always just turn on the news. (Matt Grubs) Directed by Schiffli; with Gillan, Dastmalchian, John Doe, Jennifer Morrison and David Koechner, NR, 91 min.

Time catches up with us all, and for 93-year old América, the twilight of her life culminates in gathering her three grandsons to care for her in the feature-length documentary debut from co-directors Erick Stoll and Chase Whiteside. It’s a sobering look at a family full of old dreams who now confront new, often heartbreaking realities. Diego, leaving Puerto Vallarta to travel to his family’s hometown of Colima, Mexico, is by far the most doting and soulful grandson. He jokes with his

América
grandmother, takes her on trips and is always ready to keep her on her diet. Rodrigo, the brooding sort, runs his own meditation group with his girlfriend Christina; he stresses over money and lack of support from the extended family, while Christina as a feminine presence is a breath of fresh air. She chats with América about sweeter things; hair care, boys and the like. Bruno, a sideshow performer and the last to arrive, is arguably the most abrasive family member and doesn’t seem to care much for his grandmother at all. América’s best moments show the brothers bonding through mutual athleticism. Rodrigo and Diego laugh while keeping rhythm during push-ups, Diego and Bruno perform sideshow tricks at a birthday party and all three stand on each other’s shoulders in their backyard, smiling. Later, however, their darker sides emerge, culminating in fistfights and frustrations over financial woes. Despite América’s dementia and other ailments, however, her sass, wit and charm shine in every frame. Diego remarks that she’ll be a famous movie star. She certainly has what it takes.
Camera work and editing serve familial tenderness well, and an uncomfortable scene where Diego and Rodrigo give América an enema is presented with respect, the camera panning away as the audio remains. It’s also successful in capturing Colima, objectively displaying the town’s poverty and corruption. Unfortunately, background shots and
cutaways often serve as a distraction; closeups of a tree in spring or a resting landscape could and should have been replaced by more scenes with América and her boys. And so América is best when it emphasizes the beauty in the little moments; a quiet stroll in the afternoon, a giggle at the dinner table, a cathartic Shakedown
+ A WINDOW INTO AN OFT-IGNORED SUBCULTURE
- UNDEVELOPED; SLOPPY
Shakedown is a documentary about a team of exotic dancers who perform in an underground black lesbian nightclub in Los Angeles called The Horizon. But do NYC fashion designer-turned-filmmaker Leilah Weinraub’s attempts to shine a spotlight on these women work? A little. Through interviews and footage of the dancers, Weinraub showcases various women on their journey to dance glory. Egypt, one of the film’s focal points, tells her tale of self-discovery: She’s got a partner and a little girl, but supports her family through dancing. Or take Ronnie Ron, who identifies as a “stud,” a lesbian who dresses like a man—she’s the emcee and lighting technician of The Horizon and creator of Shakedown Productions, but her background isn’t explored to any great effect, except that she mentions she used to be a “violent femme.” There are other dancers featured, of course, but Shakedown doesn’t delve too deeply into their stories, either. This could be because there’s a lot of footage—too much, almost, and naked (or soon-to-be naked) women fill up the bulk of this fairly short film to the point that it saturates any real backstory behind these women’s lives. There’s only so many times one can watch a certified diva have one-dollar bills shoved in their underwear. Shakedown thus comes perilously close to too-risque on a few occasions—without being too graphic, one lady straps on a replica of a male appendage and goes to town on another lady in front of a crowd CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

of 50 people—which is fine, because it illustrates the extent of what they do during their average workday. Yet, most of the film is just ladies dancing and ripping off their clothes. After a point, it feels more like watching pornography than a documentary, and a repetitive one at that. (Layne Radlauer)
White Rabbit
Directed by Weinraub; with Egypt and Ronnie Ron, NR, 72 min.
WHITE RABBIT
6
+ EMOTIONALLY AUTHENTIC - COULD USE A LITTLE MORE
SUBTLETY; KIND OF BORING
In director Daryl Wein’s White Rabbit, Sophia (Vivian Bang) is a performance artist stringing together gigs to make ends meet in modern-day Los Angeles. TaskRabbit and YouTube revenue are supposed to supplement tips she makes doing public monologues that draw on her experience as a child immigrant from South Korea. She lives to bear her soul to the world, something she can’t confine to her artistic work—with painful consequences. If you’ve ever attempted to live in a big expensive city and make it mostly on your craft, part of Sophia’s experience is familiar. New York and Los Angeles are full of creative young people trying to monetize their insights and muses so that they can tow the line between a life of meaning and survival. It’s always precarious, especially for women of color, and Sophia finds that the intense passion driving her work also drives others away. And that makes her both emotionally clingy and too distracted to engage with a partner—a killer combination. Elsewhere, White Rabbit‘s script confronts LA’s legacy of racial violence between black people and Korean immigrants. In one of Sophia’s public performances at a park, she criticizes the media’s coverage during the 1992
riots for always racializing the conflict between the two. Instead, she suggests the lootings happened because of geographical proximity, itself the result of a conspiracy by higher white powers. A woman named Victoria approaches Sophia afterward, and the stage is set for more heartbreak. To engage with the film you have to acquiesce to its representation of Sophia’s worldview, which sometimes engages with plot devices that are really on-the-nose. This includes Victoria’s jacket emblazoned with “Black Lives Matter” or a scene featuring a white casting director engaging in blatant racism while shooting Sophia for a small role. Micro-aggressions and political expressions are often more subtle in real life, but in a film so tightly coiled up in the protagonist’s personal story, maybe they’re necessary to progress the narrative—for better or worse. (Aaron Cantú) Directed by Wein; with Bang, Nico Evers-Swindell and Nana Ghana, TV-MA, 71 min.
WORLDS OF URSULA K LE GUIN
6
+ GREAT SUBJECT; COOL ANIMATION - A LITTLE SPARSE; COVERS THE SAME GROUND A LOT
Worlds of Ursula K Le Guin from director Arwen Curry does a fine enough job celebrating the life of the groundbreaking sci-fi novelist through interviews with family and those she impacted like Neil Gaiman or Margaret Atwood, but rather than feel like a love letter to a personal hero, the documentary reads almost like a sales pitch to people who already bought what Curry’s selling ages ago. Le Guin, who died earlier this year, of course shattered barriers in the scifi world at a time when the bulk of its tales lay firmly in the hands of male authors and hidden in 10-cent pulp paperbacks shoved into bookstore back rooms. By the late 1960s, she had a bevy of stories under her belt and novels like A Wizard of Earthsea tearing up sexist preconceived notions and making her a bit of a literary and feminist hero. And that’s fantastic. But other than a handful of moments about how
critics didn’t get her and how she was unparalleled when it came to worldbuilding, we mostly get a bunch of people saying the same thing over and over again: Le Guin was amazing; Le Guin wasn’t appreciated when she was at the height of her powers; Le Guin influenced writers we all love today; Le Guin was a champion. This is all very true—Le Guin was a brilliant writer (notice we italicized “brilliant”), and though Curry’s footage of the author herself and some light biography is fairly interesting, we aren’t told much that would be valuable to anyone who isn’t a newcomer. Thus, the film feels like a bit of video Cliff’s Notes or a nice way to kill about an hour in a junior high classroom somewhere. We were hoping for a deeper look at her history or maybe even a little less gushing. Either way, Worlds of Ursula K Le Guin does have some cool animated sections and will surely dazzle longtime fans or maybe win over a few new ones. We just don’t think it’ll go down in history quite like Le Guin did. (Alex De Vore) Directed by Curry; with Neil Gaiman and Margaret Atwood, NR, 68 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of October 17th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Humraaz is a word in the Urdu language. Its literal meaning is “secret sharer.” It refers to a confidante, a person in whom you have full trust and to whom you can confess your core feelings. Is there such a character in your life? If so, seek him or her out for assistance in probing into the educational mysteries you have waded into. If there is no such helper you can call on, I advise you to do whatever’s necessary to attract him or her into your sphere. A collaborative quest may be the key to activating sleeping reserves of your soul wisdom.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “There are works which wait, and which one does not understand for a long time,” wrote Libran author Oscar Wilde. “The reason is that they bring answers to questions which have not yet been raised; for the question often arrives a long time after the answer.” That’s the weird news, Libra. You have been waiting and waiting to understand a project that you set in motion many moons ago. It has been frustrating to give so much energy to a goal that has sometimes confused you. But here’s the good news: Soon you will finally formulate the question your project has been the answer to. And so at last you will understand it. You’ll feel vindicated, illuminated, and resolved.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus author Roberto Bolaño suggests that the world contains more beauty than many people realize. The full scope and intensity of this nourishing beauty “is only visible to those who love.” When he speaks of “those who love,” I suspect he means deep-feeling devotees of kindness and compassion, hardworking servants of the greater good, and free-thinking practitioners of the Golden Rule. In any case, Taurus, I believe you’re in a phase when you have the potential to see far more of the world’s beauty. For best results, supercharge your capacity to give and receive love. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Once upon a time you were walking along a sidewalk when a fairy floated by and whispered, “I’m willing to grant you three wishy-washy wishes for free. You don’t have to do any favors for me in return. But I will grant you three wonderfully wise wishes if you perform three tasks for me.” You asked the fairy, “What would those three tasks be?” She replied, “The second task is that you must hoodwink the devil into allowing you to shave his hairy legs. The third task is that you must bamboozle God into allowing you to shave his bushy beard.” You laughed and said, “What’s the first task?” The fairy touched you on the nose with her tiny wand and said, “You must believe that the best way to achieve the impossible is to attempt the absurd.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Many seekers who read horoscope columns want common-sense advice about love, career, money, and power. So I hope I don’t disappoint you by predicting that you will soon have a mystical experience or spiritual epiphany. Let me add, however, that this delightful surprise won’t merely be an entertaining diversion with no useful application. In fact, I suspect it will have the potential of inspiring good ideas about love, career, money, or power. If I had to give the next chapter of your life story a title, it might be “A Thousand Dollars’ Worth of Practical Magic.”
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The Committee to Reward Unsung Good Deeds hereby acknowledges your meritorious service in the trenches of the daily routine. We praise your tireless efforts to make life less chaotic and more coherent for everyone around you. We’re grateful for the patience and poise you demonstrate as you babysit adults who act like children. And we are gratified by your capacity to keep long-term projects on track in the face of trivial diversions and petty complaints. I know it’s a lot to ask, but could you please intensify your vigilance in the next three weeks? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Chinese mythology tells us there We need your steadiness more than ever. used to be ten suns, all born from the mother goddess Xi He. Every 24 hours, she bathed her brood in the lake AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You need a special pep talk that’s best provided by Aquarian poet Audre Lorde. Please and placed them in a giant mulberry tree. From there, meditate on these four quotes by her. 1. “Caring for myself one sun glided out into the sky to begin the day while the other nine remained behind. It was a good arrange- is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation. 2. “We have been raised to fear the yes within ourselves, our deepest ment. The week had ten days back then, and each sun cravings.” 3. “You cannot use someone else’s fire. You can got its turn to shine. But the siblings eventually grew only use your own. To do that, you must first be willing to restless with the staid rhythm. On one fateful morning, believe you have it.” 4. “Nothing I accept about myself can with a playful flourish, they all soared into the heavens be used against me to diminish me.” 5. “The learning proat once. It was fun for them, but the earth grew so hot that nothing would grow. To the rescue came the archer cess is something you can literally incite, like a riot.” Hou Yi. With his flawless aim, he used his arrows to PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning: My horoscopes shoot down nine of the suns, leaving one to provide just may interfere with your ability to rationalize your deluthe right amount of light and warmth. The old tales sions; they could extinguish your enthusiasm for clichés; don’t tell us, but I speculate that Hou Yi was a Leo. they might cause you to stop repressing urges that you VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You now have maximum com- really should express; and they may influence you to culmand of a capacity that’s a great strength but also a poten- tivate the state of awareness known as “playful wistial liability: your piercing brainpower. To help ensure that dom.” Do you really want to risk being exposed to such you wield this asset in ways that empower you and don’t lavish amounts of inner freedom? If not, you should stop sabotage you, here’s advice from four wise Virgos. 1. reading now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): In 1962, when she was 31 years old, Sagittarian actress Rita Moreno won an Academy Award for her role in the film West Side Story. In 2018, she attended the Oscars again, sporting the same dress she’d worn for the ceremony 56 years before. I think the coming weeks will be a great time for you, too, to reprise a splashy event or two from the past. You’ll generate soul power by reconnecting with your roots. You’ll tonify and harmonize your mental health by establishing a symbolic link with your earlier self.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): You Crabs tend to be the stockpilers and hoarders of the zodiac. The world’s largest collections of antique door knobs and Chinese restaurant menus and beer cans from the 1960s belong to Cancerian accumulators. But in alignment with possibilities hinted at by current astrological omens, I recommend that you redirect this inclination so it serves you better. How? One way would be to gather supplies of precious stuff that’s really useful to you. Another way would be to assemble a batch of blessings to bestow on people and animals who provide you with support.
