COVER, OCTOBER 10: “RUNNING AT POWER”

DO-NOTHING DUDE I am a native New Mexican, born and raised in Hobbs. I lived there for 25 years and have seen oil boom and bust and boom again—and bust again. Steve Pearce was not born in Hobbs, but lives there and made his fortune there. A $12 million fortune. I have spent the last month trying to contact Representative Pearce, both at his campaign headquarters and at his Congressional office, because I have a question. After Pearce sold his business, Key Fishing Tools, for $12 million, what did he do for Hobbs? His campaign staffer assured me that Pearce loved living in Hobbs. Okay. I’m glad for him. But what did he do for Hobbs? Well, he has represented the area and done blah, blah, blah. Yeah, but he was elected to that position and that’s his job. He gets paid for that. What did he do for Hobbs with just a tiny piece of that $12 million? I never got an answer to my question from either the campaign office or the Congressional office. I even tried to contact the editor of the Hobbs News-Sun, the daily paper, but they wouldn’t return my calls or answer my emails. But I bet I can tell you what Steve Pearce did for Hobbs after he made $12 million, because I know how oilmen think and what life is like for the majority of people who live in Hobbs who don’t have $12 million in the bank. He did absolutely nothing.

Year after year, Johnson was presented with a hate crime bill, and every year he tabled the bill to appease his conservative supporters. One year he agreed to meet with a gay delegation seeking equal rights. It was reported that Johnson put on rubber gloves to shake the hands of the gay delegates. This was the time of the AIDS epidemic and he was obviously misinformed. I am surprised he didn’t wear a mask. This gives true meaning to the word homophobia. During the same period, during a KUNM radio interview, I heard Johnson claim that he had never known a gay person and that he did not want his children to associate with one in school. ...

NEWS, OCTOBER 10: “LICENSE TO SPEED”

TRAINED? SKILLED? Slow drivers are sometimes the most dangerous. We love Grandpa and Grandma but they cross lanes, turn out in front of traffic and hold up normal driving speeds. Cops do 90 or better on the interstates because they’re trained, skilled drivers with places to go. The autobahn has much faster speeds and it is much safer. Why? Good drivers and lane courtesy. Speed limits are largely political, particularly out on open highways, like laws on pot and other things. Does anyone remember the absurdity of 55? No one is making the old, slow drivers go faster. So likewise, you old, slow drivers don’t make the rest of us go at your speed.

HANDFUL OF SADISTS This is a case of a handful of sadists who profit immensely from animal torture imposing their will on a public that is overwhelmingly opposed to trapping. The continuance of trapping keeps New Mexico in the dark ages. The tiny but well-funded lobby of trappers basically owns the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish. Why, when humans have already wiped out 83 percent of all other species on Earth and are wiping out another species every minute, do we even have a department that calls animals “game”?

Americans who believe in helping the less fortunate. ... Americans who believe we are the steward for our planet and all the creatures on it. This was the America under which I was raised. Polls seem to show that this is still the majority of Americans. Then why are our beliefs not reality? Our rights are being eroded. Our planet’s in meltdown. The rich get richer. The middle class is dwindling into history. I remember a time when it took only one breadwinner to support a family. The promise of the American dream is giving way to the dream by lottery. The #GreedToo movement has triumphed and been filled with followers content to live under the rule of the cruel. Looking out for me and mine vs. us and ours. ...

mostly for the fur industry and ranchers. Fish and wildlife agencies grossly underestimate the total number of animals who die slow, agonizing deaths: In 2011, 6.8 million deaths were officially reported. Millions more are not, including endangered species. When an animal is caught in this barbaric device, the pain is unbearable—imagine how painful it is when you get a finger/hand caught in the door. I once rescued a coyote from a trap, which was in the process of sawing off his foot on the fencing upon which he was caught. Most animals suffer long and hard until the trapper finally comes to kill it, often stepping on its throat to suffocate it—or shooting it. All this senseless suffering for what? For the vanity of fur—or to appease a rancher. Disgusting, and a blight on New Mexico.

Historical Vacuum BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he first Santa Fe Historic Preservation ordinance was established in the late 1950s to define “Santa Fe Style” in what is today known as the downtown and east side historic districts. In the 1980s, officials expanded historic districts to include the residential bungalows of South Capitol, the industrial grit and innovation of Guadalupe Street and others. It falls on the city’s tiny Historic Preservation Division to process hundreds of applications each year for construction and renovation in the districts as well as support the citizen Historic Districts Review Board and Archaeological Review Board. Longtime preservation officer David Rasch left his job in August, and now senior planner and acting officer Nicole Ramirez Thomas is stepping down to move away from her hometown with her husband, who got a new job in Lake Tahoe. SFR caught up with her ahead of her Nov. 9 departure from City Hall. Our interview is edited for length and clarity.

change anything. Is that what it does? There are two different standards: The design standards are intended to preserve the integrity of the overall neighborhood of the district. The preservation standards apply only to contributing, significant and landmark buildings, and those are intended to preserve material and styles that are 50 years or older. There has been some restrictiveness in how the code has been administered, and I think everybody in the city is looking for relief from that, but not to the extent that it compromises the integrity of any of these districts. … There is virtually no restriction on color of trim and paint and things like that. A lot of other historic districts actually really describe a palette that they

We’re always looking 50 years into the past to figure out what needs to be preserved ... and what we really need to be doing is looking 50 years into the future and thinking about what we want Santa Fe to look like.

Why is it important for the city to enforce the historic districts? Santa Fe is one of the oldest cities in the United States, and for that reason the archaeology districts and the historic districts exist. The intention is to visually describe to anybody living in or visiting Santa Fe what the history is. I think that Santa Fe has done a really good job, actually, of nurturing it. The downtown and east side is sometimes described as a Disneyland, because of this early-20th century architectural style that developed after statehood. But that style unto itself is historic and was meant to commemorate the trifecta of cultures: the Euro-American people coming to settle here at that time, and Native culture and Hispanic cultures. What people tend historic districts paint your house that you have to

think is part of something. But here, we celebrate color, and that is really where you get the opportunity of expression. Things that are predominately required to be earth tone are in the east side and downtown historic districts. Do you find the phrase “keeping it brown and round” offensive? [Laughs] I don’t. “Earth tone” is often

taken as brown, but there are variety of earth tones. And then round, I guess is referring to the lack of crisp edges. And so I think that’s funny. Most of the things that people think about the historic districts are pretty funny. The board is sometimes called the Hysterical Board, and they’re actually wonderfully dedicated volunteers that spend a significant amount of time working to preserve the city.

Are there revisions that are necessary for the code to function more effectively in the future? I don’t think that anybody would say that the city’s is a good, straightforward, easy-to-interpret kind of Land Use Code. So within that, the historic districts code is a small portion, and it does need a revision. … We’re always looking 50 years into the past to figure out what needs to be preserved and what style we’re trying to evaluate. And that 50-year mark ticks up. Right now we’re at 1969. People are like, ‘I don’t want aluminum storefront windows.’ They’re too close to that material. I think that what we really need to be

doing is looking 50 years into the future and thinking about what we want Santa Fe to look like and what we want to preserve, and then honor some of the styles that were introduced a different times, so that we don’t have any stagnancy. When you started working at the division you were a senior planner, and then in August you also inherited the job of interim supervising planner/ historic preservation officer when David Rasch left. What’s your understanding of what comes next for the division? I had the great benefit of learning quite a bit from David Rasch. … It took some time and some deliberate work on David’s part. And unfortunately, I don’t have the opportunity to pass that on to a successor. … There is definitely more staff support needed. We really, really need to develop a context for the historic districts, so that we can do better planning and create more efficiency in how people interact with our office. I think that will go a long way, but it might be a little while before we get that. The context is a planning document that allows you to evaluate what you have and where you want go. … The year before last we actually received a grant from the state, a certified local government grant, to help start creating the context, but then our office was moved from upstairs to downstairs and we didn’t get to execute it. So the city got a grant, and never used it, and then gave the money back? Yes. That was just part of the challenge of changes at the city. Any last words? I just hope that especially now with this vacuum, this little vacuum, that the community becomes re-engaged and remembers their love for the heart of Santa Fe. Other economic development needs to occur in the city as well, but let’s not forget the heart of the city.

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.

Former Martinez cabinet secretary faces embezzlement charges in court

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

D

emesia Padilla looked very much like a woman who did not want to be in court. The former state Taxation and Revenue Department secretary and certified public accountant sat next to her attorney, Republican counsel-of-choice Paul Kennedy, in a windowless room at the Santa Fe Magistrate Court normally reserved for things like traffic tickets. Padilla, however, faces far more serious charges and the potential of more than 24 years in prison. Prosecutors say that from December 2011 to January 2013, Padilla systemically embezzled more than $25,000 from a former client in her private accounting practice, then used her position as a cabinet secretary in Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’ administration to try to undermine an audit of the client, Harold’s Grading and Trucking. They also believe Padilla was working as a private accountant during the time she was running the department. The state has charged Padilla with three felonies, including using her office for personal financial gain, embezzlement, and using a JP Morgan Chase computer system to pay her credit card bills from the Bank of Albuquerque account of her former client. The 58-yearold also faces five related misdemeanor charges. Monday morning, prosecutors began what’s expected to be a week-long effort to convince a judge that they have enough evidence to take Padilla to trial. Santa Fe County Magistrate Court Judge Donna Bevacqua-Young will make that decision once the state wraps its case and once Padilla and Kennedy have the chance to question witnesses. Proving the crimes may be a laborious process. Because Kennedy challenged the relevance of bank account statements from Harold’s Grading and Trucking, and of credit card statements from Padilla’s Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card with JP Morgan Chase, prosecutors spent the first part of the hearing’s first morning in the tedious process of admitting into evidence 45 separate bank and credit card records, laying the same legal groundwork for each separate record.

The legal exactitude seemed to take its toll on Padilla, who listened as Beverly White, a records official with JP Morgan Chase’s subpoena processing center in Indianapolis, unknowingly and repeatedly mispronounced her name “Da-MEE-shuh Puh-DIL-la,” hitting the L’s. When a prosecutor gently acknowledged the error on her surname, Padilla whispered toward Kennedy, “And it’s Demesia.” Padilla hasn’t entered a plea, though she has contested the charges publicly. She resigned in 2016 after the accusations surfaced. On Monday, Harold Dominguez, owner of Harold’s Grading and Trucking, and his wife Patricia both testified that when they hired Padilla to keep their books and do their taxes, they gave her broad access to their business and their finances. “We treated her like family,” Harold Dominguez told the mostly empty courtroom, adding that he would typically feed Padilla on Sunday afternoons after she came in to work on the company’s books at the home-based business. Padilla had gate codes, garage codes—everything, prosecutors pointed out, except for permission to create an online profile to access the Bank of Albuquerque account. The email address used to register the account, according to prosecutors, was “demesiap@aol.com.” Kennedy spent time questioning another JP Morgan Chase official about how the company verified the identity of the person requesting payment from a non-Chase bank account (like that of Harold’s Grading and Trucking) to Padilla’s credit card account some 40 times. Ken Grier, who works at the company’s offices in Delaware, said anyone with access to both an outside account and the credit card account could set up an electronic payment. “[The electronic record] won’t necessarily tell you who was at the computer, will it?” Kennedy asked Grier, who agreed. Prosecutors pushed back, saying the Dominguezes hired Padilla in part because they weren’t interested in keeping their own books. Not only that, but both Harold and Patricia Dominguez testified that they had little computer know-how. “Would you say you’re technologically savvy?” asked Assistant Attorney Gen-

eral Derek Skinner. “Not really,” said Harold Dominguez. “How often do you get on the computer to access the internet?” Skinner asked. “I don’t even know how to do it,” replied Dominguez, who is in his 70s. The company had fallen behind on its taxes before, Dominguez testified, but he had no idea how much it owed when Padilla was handling the books. He testified that he had to take out a $78,000 loan to pay back taxes and fines, and to keep cutting paychecks to the company’s 14 employees. “We stopped paying ourselves,” Dominguez said. When the state’s tax auditors began to dig in October 2014, prosecutors believe Padilla did all she could to use her cabinet position to block the audit and escape more than $13,000 in fines that she might have owed. By the summer of

2015, anonymous tips were made to both the Office of the State Auditor and the Governor’s Office. The auditor’s tip led to the investigation. Martinez spokesman Ben Cloutier did not respond to a request for comment from SFR. The case began in District Court, where it will continue if Judge BevacquaYoung decides there’s enough evidence for a trial. District Court Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer had a scheduling conflict that prevented her from hearing the evidence, so she opted to send it to Magistrate Court rather than delay the matter. It’s the third time that, that in a big public corruption trial, the attorney general has opted to seek charges through a preliminary hearing in open court rather than a from a grand jury. Both former Senator Phil Griego and former Secretary of State Dianna Duran also had a judge determine there was enough evidence to proceed to trial. “Grand Jury proceedings are not open to the public,” said office spokesman David Carl. “When bringing felony charges against appointed and elected officials, the [Office of the Attorney General] prefers the transparency of public preliminary hearings when logistically possible.”

Our recommendations for the 2018 general election ballot

W

e know you’re tired. So are we. After the March city election and the June primaries, this is our third endorsement issue of the year. But we’re holding off on despair. So should you. Given the propensity to keep incumbents in place, the upcoming statewide general election is likely to plot the course for the next eight years in New Mexico—at least when it comes to governor—so it’s pretty important that you weigh in. Sometimes it’s easy for us to make the call in a particular race because one candidate has (or does not have) vastly more relevant experience or clearer ideas for how to run a government office. But other races are toss-ups. How disappointed are we with current leadership, and is it worth sending the incumbent a signal that all is not well? How much should we risk on a political unknown? Who should pay the price for our general frustration with the status quo? We’re happy to report that the vast majority of candidates in three political parties and even two registered as independents agreed to sit down to talk about their experiences and dreams. That’s a change from two years ago, when too many clung so hard to party lines and re-

sentments that they refused to even meet with us. Not every race on every Santa Fe-area ballot is included in this rundown, partly because many candidates aren’t facing competition. From the county sheriff to the state House, lots of races are determined here during the party primaries. (Also, four Court of Appeals seats and a Supreme Court race are not contemplated in these pages.) Still, the decision about who will become the state’s governor is the biggest reason to bother filling in bubbles. Voters who decline to state a party are the fastest-growing group in New Mexico, making up 22 percent of registered voters in this election. So whether the fourth floor goes to the D or the R is in their hands—your hands. In the spirit of good fun, and recognizing that Halloween endorsements bring up all kinds of terror, we offer the illustrated gubernatorial ghouls. What follows is a list of SFR’s endorsements in the order they appear on the ballot.

Jarratt Applewhite When we posed the question about which candidates bear the punishment for the two-party system, we were thinking of this race. Incumbent Rep. Matthew McQueen has not done anything that merits running him out of the Roundhouse on a rail. The attorney who lives in Galisteo fits right in with the rest of the region’s state delegation: heavy on lawyers with offices in downtown Santa Fe, and at ease talking about all the well-worn Democratic warm and fuzzies.

One of his campaign talking points involves a giant map of the district, a clear gerrymander if ever we’ve seen one. Residents in the Rio Communities, for example, can’t drive to the rest of the district without leaving it. Rather than keeping intact what the law requires, “communities of interest,” lawmakers let these boundaries look like a bad science project. Applewhite says he’s focused on reshaping the Estancia Valley, and people who live there seem enthusiastic about him. He would be the only registered independent to serve in the Roundhouse. And while choosing not to caucus with either party will leave him as an outsider, that’s a concept we cotton to. There should be at least one.

drew an elk tag in the Pecos. That’s a bigtime get, so Anaya loaded up his horse and took off. We’re not sure if it was wise or foolish, but we respect the choice. Anaya has been county commissioner before, and he enjoyed the job enough to try again. He held the seat for the two consecutive terms allowed by law, then his brother Robert served two terms. He sometimes fell on the conservative side of a 3-2 split, and didn’t always seem to fully grasp the depth of certain decisions. (For example, he says today he regrets voting for the county to purchase the Santa Fe Canyon Ranch).

STATE CONSTITUTION:

Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe, sponsored the bill that put this question on the ballot. It would allow the Legislature to change the way court cases are assigned to judges on appeal. If this amendment passes, it’s up to lawmakers to carefully study and write policy. Rather than loading up an already busy District Court, it opens the door for appeals to go straight to the Court of Appeals to be heard by a three-judge panel. PS: The whole system is underfunded. We need to work on that, too.

YES

Property owners wouldn’t notice a change from the 2016 and 2017 tax rates, finance experts say, but the state would get $166 million to use for capital projects (A. Aging and Long-Term Services; B. Libraries; C. School buses; D. Education). D is especially important to Santa Fe Community College. The school has already earmarked $7 million of a recent bond for its planned automotive training center, and this statewide bond issue includes another $5 million for the project. There’s also funding for the New Mexico School for the Deaf, Santa Fe Indian School and the Institute for American Indian Arts.

VOTE NOW or LATER Amendment 2: Should the state convene an independent ethics commission? YES

Santa Fe City Charter: Should city elections be held the same day as general elections? YES

It’s not just because we are sick of endorsements by October of an election year; it’s because it is incongrous for city elections to take place in March instead of in the same month (on opposite years) as the rest of the state elections in November. Voter participation is already embarrassingly low. Let’s make it easy for everyone to keep track. This would start in 2019, and would also have the effect of shortening the terms of office of some city councilors by two months. Womp womp, but they still favored it. So should you.

Bonds A, B, C, D

Amendment 1: Should the state give the Legislature authority to provide for appellate jurisdiction by statute? YES

Should a gross receipts tax for transit be reauthorized? YES

The North Central Regional Transit District is a mouthful, and so marketing folks and the rest of us have long been calling their vehicles “the Blue Bus.” This one-eighth percent tax on goods and services has been in place since 2008 for the district that serves rural and Native communities and provides critical connections between small urban dots such as Taos and Española. Part of it goes to fund the New Mexico Rail Runner Express and the city of Santa Fe bus service special event shuttles. We heart transit.

Back then, however, Mike Anaya was a Democrat. This time, sick of the “bickering and the back and forth,” he’s running as an Independent. Still, we’re not overjoyed with what feels like a family dynasty on the seat. Longtime county employee Rudy Garcia, who won a three-way Democratic primary, would probably also be a good commissioner, albeit with different values as a son of the Airport Road corridor before that was a thing. Yet it turns out Garcia has a long DWI record, and we think that repeated lack of personal accountability does not send the right message.

One of Santa Fe’s famed cowboy-hat-wearing state senators is today still serving out a prison sentence for public corruption. He resigned his post before his fellow lawmakers officially sanctioned him for the crimes in a process that was shielded from the public. Only through extraordinary investigative journalism followed by prosecution from the attorney general was Phil Griego held accountable for criminal action while in office. We have concerns about the details that are still to come on how lawmakers appoint a independent commission to review alleged ethics violations, but it’s high time we improve our collective response to bad behavior and empower citizens to take action.

This week’s Before I Die Festival cuts through the terror of it all BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

arlier this month, I wrote about local entrepreneur Justin Crowe, whose innovative plan to revolutionize cremation won him this year’s top prize at BizMIX and just may shake up the entire “death industry.� I figured that article would likely suffice in terms of writing about innovation in the death industry—at least for the year. Like most people with arrested development, I prefer to not think about death and, moreover, how many innovative death industry stories are there in one small to midsize town? At least one more, as it happens. This week, in addition to the midterm elections (Nov. 6, please vote) and Halloween (if you happen to be dressed as a unicorn on Wednesday afternoon, please stop by the Reporter office so I can

Death Becomes Her

see you—I could use some cheering up), the Before I Die New Mexico Festival is coming to town. Well, several towns, actually. The festival began Oct. 30 and runs through Nov. 4 with more than 30 events in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Belen. Events include a fair amount of frank conversations about death—the emotional, physical and financial realities thereof; a cremated remains committal service (free but must be pre-arranged); and a brewpub gathering with millennial morticians (that’s in Albuquerque, natch), which also features a round of The Newly Dead Game. Also on the festival schedule: a tour of the Office of the Medical Investigator (registration required), films (Defending Your Life among them) and, of course, the chance to purchase urns and caskets, as well as tour cemeteries. Plus: Attendees can win two free burial plots. Check out beforeidienm.com for the complete schedule. Festivals such as these are less common in the United States, but part of a growing movement intended to help society face issues about mortality with honesty and humor. Festival coordinator Gail Rubin is a certified thanatologist, or death educator, whose work has pioneered different ways of helping people plan ahead to “help minimize the grief and the strife,� she says. “We all have a 100 percent mortality rate, but less than 30 percent of adults do any end-of-life planning. So that’s going to leave 70 percent or more of our loved ones scrambling to pull together information, make expensive decisions

under duress or grief ‌ and it doesn’t have to be that way.â€? Last year’s festival, limited to Albuquerque, drew 600 people. This year increases both the number of cities for events, as well as sponsors and speakers. The event also innovates in the field by combining discussions, films and other types of interactive activities for people to explore a topic that often goes undiscussed. Rubin’s work in the field began in 2000, she says, when she married for the second time and had, as she describes it, “a creative Jewish Western wedding.â€? She decided she wanted to write a book about  â€œcreative life cycles events.â€? She began writing a monthly feature for the Certified death educator Gail Rubin’s Before I Die New Mexico Festival is part of a movement to help people plan for the inevitable in an approachable way.

Albuquerque Tribune, and her stories about deaths and funerals received the most response. From there, she dug in further. “I approached it as the party no one wants to plan,â€? she said. Rubin is the author of three books on end-of-life issues, including A Good Goodbye: Funeral Planning for Those Who Don’t Plan to Die. I found Rubin’s frank and humorous take on these issues refreshing, particularly during a week of unremitting horror. She acknowledges she’s been “an innovator in this field,â€? but says “people in the funeral industry are recognizing that things are changing and people want information, but they don’t want to be sold. I think the funeral industry is finally starting to come around to realize, ‘Gee, I guess we have to try something different.’â€? I had spoken with Rubin about the festival prior to the Oct. 27 mass shooting in Pittsburgh, but I circled back Monday morning to ask her how such horrific events impact the work she does. She expects the topic to surface this week during the festival’s discussions. “One of the elements you realize when you talk about death on a regular basis is that a lot of people are carrying grudges, and that becomes a heavy weight that is detrimental to yourself and to the people in society,â€? she says. Tragedies provide an opportunity, she says, to “appreciate every single day,â€? and to talk with others. In her own private reflections on the shootings, she said, “I was stunned; I was angry, sad, and not sure what to do with it.â€? Coming together to share “our thoughts about death and how it can happen so unexpectedly can actually be a healthy thing for us all to do.â€? BEFORE I DIE NEW MEXICO FESTIVAL 1 pm-7 pm Thursday Nov. 1. Free. Santa Fe events are held at Berardinelli McGee Event Center, 1320 Luisa St.; additional events in Albuquerque and Belen through Nov. 4. Full schedule at beforeidienm.com.

THIS IS HALLOWEEN You might be confused since we all did a whole mess of partying last weekend, but the official Halloween has yet to go down. As for things still left to experience, kick it off early with Santa Fe Ghost Tours (6 and 7 pm. $17. Hotel St. Francis, 210 Don Gaspar Ave.; reserve your spot at 983-7774) to get the frights out of the way before heading to the Mine Shaft Tavern’s Costume Contest with Felix y Los Gatos (7 pm. $5. 2846 Hwy. 14, Madrid, 472-0743) or Golden Dawn Arkestra, Kero Kero Bonito and others (7 pm-12:30 am. $22-$30. Meow Wolf, 1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369)—where there’s $500 up for grabs. That’s not even counting Halloween action at the Santa Fe Community College, the bars in town or on your own street. Be safe, have fun. (Alex De Vore)

COURTESY TEATRO PARAGUAS

COURTESY PUBLIC DOMAIN

EVENTS WED/31

COURTESY PATINA GALLERY

ART OPENING FRI/2 BEADAZZLING Surrealism need not lack elegance, and in the case of Chicago artist and sculptor Betsy Youngquist, the two go hand in hand. Youngquist dominates with intricate beadwork and 3-D sculptures that juxtapose humans, animals and the natural world for sometimes chilling but often gorgeous surrealist masterpieces. Take the bejeweled octopus with human features or the all-seeing eye with a halo of crystals surrounding painstaking details; consider Youngquist’s borderline terrifying dolls cut up and reassembled in perfect imperfection. It’s a body that captivates with details both obvious and hidden, and that begs for close examination. Youngquist brings her gifts to Patina Gallery in Santa Fe this very week. (ADV) Betsy Youngquist: Season of the Surreal: 5 pm Friday Nov. 2. Free. Through Dec. 3. Patina Gallery, 131 W Palace Ave., 983-3432.

COURTESY GHOSTEMANE.COM

MUSIC MON/5 GHOSTLY VISIONS Usually a writeup about metal and rap from this publication would include something about how it’s the worst coming-together of styles in the history of music, but when it comes to Florida MC Eric Whitney, aka Ghostemane, we find ourselves intrigued. Whitney is a former metal guy, an ex-pat guitarist from the worlds of death and doom who embraced mumble-rap weirdness without all the trappings of pointless lyricism about nothing in favor of metal influences sneaking up from the shadows and a bit of a laissez-faire attitude. It’s bizarre and dark to be sure, but also incredibly satisfying and a testament to how blurring genre lines can sometimes go real well if the people doing the blurring are smart. (ADV) Ghostemane: 7:30 pm Monday Nov. 5. $20. Meow Wolf, 152 Rufina Circle, 395-6369

PERFORMANCE FRI/2-SUN/4

Reach for the Dead Three-day event observes the Day of the Dead with song, puppetry, theater El Dia de los Muertos is a celebration of the lives of those we’ve lost along the way. And though the annual holiday is most commonly observed in places like Mexico, Central and South America, Santa Fe has been known to take part in the culturally rich and cathartic experience. As such, the fifth annual Day of the Dead Community Celebration at Teatro Paraguas is a good way learn more about the holiday or simply revel in its festivities in general. A multitude of plays are scheduled for the three days of celebrations, like the puppet adaptation of the classic Mexican play, Don Juan Tenorino, wherein the titular character, a knave, makes a bet with another less-evil knave. Dire consequences and redemption follow. If that wasn’t enough, you’ve got three human-led plays from which to choose: Francisca y la Muerte, La Mulata de Córdoba and A Sunny Morning. The first, which features child actors, follows Death’s hunt for the elusive Francisca— the only name on her list; the middle is a traditional tale about a newcomer to

SFREPORTER.COM

Mexico City who is branded as a witch; and the latter is a Love in the Time of Cholera-esque tale about two old lovers accidentally meeting for the first time in years. Still want more? You’ll find the Teatro Paraguas Orchestra performing tunes from Pixar’s emotional 2017 movie Coco (if you’ve haven’t seen it, you should—it’ll make you cry) and Flamenco act Casablanca performs throughout the run of events. Finally, if you simply feel like remembering a loved one, you can always bring a photo to set up on Teatro Paraguas’ altar in the lobby. “A lot of our friends are from Mexico,” Argos MacCallum, artistic director of Teatro Paraguas, says. “And this is our way of honoring that cultural heritage as well as the people who have gone on before.” (Layne Radlauer) DAY OF THE DEAD COMMUNITY CELEBRATION 7 pm Friday and Saturday Nov. 2 and 3; 2 pm Sunday Nov. 4. $5-$10.

DON’T TELL ME WHO I AM Y La Bamba admonishes anyone who has tried to put them in a box

BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

F

or more than a decade, Portland, Oregon’s Y La Bamba has made music on their own terms—not according to those provided by critics’ standards. Primary songwriter Luz Elena Mendoza has struggled with a strange boxing-in of terms like “traditional folk” in short-sighted reference to both traditional American and Mexican forms, due mainly to her heritage as a first-generation Chicana. The phantom of folk music, the categorization largely assigned to Mendoza by critics along the way, is one she has finally bucked off completely on the strength of the new single “Mujeres,” the first track from Y La Bamba’s upcoming full-length album of the same name. The single feels utterly contemporary, featuring a forceful percussive center that anchors a passionate vocal rebuke of much of the machismo that seems to have followed Mendoza throughout her career. A driving Latin bass line and subtle atmospheric keys round out the underlying music as Mendoza quips rapid-fire lyrics in Spanish. As an

intimate songwriter whose oeuvre to date has featured a thoughtful lyrical content at the forefront of an otherwise self-assured musicality, “Mujeres” feels like an announcement of the band’s evolution since their previous album, 2016’s Ojos del Sol, which featured intricate layers of jangling guitars and a triumph of harmonic vocals. Y La Bamba has come far since the 2008 debut Alida St., which featured a more sparse iteration of Mendoza’s songwriting that could lazily be placed in the Mexican-American folk canon. Since then, Mendoza says she has felt coerced by mainstream music media into accepting others’ interpretation of her songwriting. The music itself, she says, is more of a personal expression than anything else; like a letter to a friend as much as it is a song written to a stranger. “Just because I’m Mexican doesn’t mean I play mariachi music,” she tells SFR, confronting years of critique that cannot seem to look past her heritage. “No one really knows how to talk about me. … I’m Chicana, first generation, on her journey trying to express herself in the most visceral, natural way and being pushed down through trauma and personal anxieties.” This uncertainty seems dispelled to a large degree on the new songs, particularly the single, which is available as a 7-inch on the band’s current tour. Its B-side, “Paloma Negra,” also plays a role as a mission statement against the white patriarchy that so fully inhabits the music industry, but the music does not take on a tragic tone. Rather, it acts as a rallying cry or, as Mendoza says, it helps in “deconstructing all this shit that doesn’t serve me at all.” Indeed, Y La Bamba’s output in the last two years seems to give no quarter in how Mendoza’s point of view might be interpreted going forward. The music is no longer searching for its voice in contemporary culture, but rather has decisively carved out its own entry in the

Y La Bamba’s Luz Elena Mendoza is pretty much done with being defined. Oh, and the band’s new single “Mujeres” rules.

international musical lexicon in place of caring how it might be classified. You can dance to Y La Bamba, no question, but “Mujeres” is also an anthem that cannot be ignored. Y La Bamba, then, is becoming vital music crafted by a singular visionary who is tired of being misunderstood. But it is also joyful music, and a style that is informed by heritage rather than running from it. There is even an optimism, Mendoza says, that occurs as a result of “being guided by my ancestors.” “I’m watching myself evolve as I speak,” she adds. If this is the case, potential listeners are lucky. The more leaps and bounds

Mendoza takes with this project, the more benefits we will reap. But it will, of course, require a bit of deprogramming— both in terms of how we classify rock and pop music and in how the patriarchal music industry seems to require easily definable, cookie-cutter genreifications. Y La Bamba has time for neither.

Screeners Local silk screening program gets new life through YouthWorks

Jason Crawford (left) and David-Alexander Hubbard Sloan are keeping silk screening alive in Santa Fe.

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

hough it wasn’t overtly popularized within the world of art until guys like Andy Warhol started dabbling regularly in the 1960s, silk screening became an easily accessible art form sometime around the 19th century, when the silk mesh used in the screens grew more affordable. Screen printing itself has been around and used by artisans for well over 1,000 years, too. But if we set aside its place in the evolution of artistry and look to its economic merits, we can also appreciate it as a sort of tactile art-world leveler—a medium that is affordably available to all and fairly uncomplicated to learn. Santa Fe is full of examples of screen printing—just look at the Ralph T Coe Center’s exhibit IMPRINT from last August or almost any local band’s merch tables. While there are countless folks screening at home or in studios, for the masses, Warehouse 21 was once the go-to place for classes in silk screening taught by local experts with a passion for screening. Fast forward to November of last year, and big changes tore through the nonprofit teen arts center. Founder and Executive Director Ana Gallegos y Reinhardt stepped down after two decades, the entire board resigned, and an ill-advised name change, since then abandoned, was implemented—all of which signaled the beginning of the end for the silkscreen program run and taught by Jason Crawford and David-Alexander Hubbard Sloan. “They were kind of like, ‘You guys need to figure out a way to make this program

A&C

make money,’” Crawford tells SFR with a laugh. He’s been involved with the Santa Fe silk screening world for well over 20 years. “And it was like, ‘Oh, yeah—guess we should have thought of that a long time ago.’” By the beginning of summer, Warehouse 21 would start looking for places to unload the equipment because, according to current board president Craig Anderson, the studio was simply “financially unviable.” “Honestly, it just wasn’t making money,” Anderson says. “We are dedicated to the mission of serving youth, but we have to be business-savvy.” The board cut the program entirely, leaving Crawford and Sloan looking for local spaces to house the equipment, materials and classes. This is when they joined forces with Axle Contemporary’s Matthew Chase-Daniel, who had a vested interest in the studio’s continued existence. “We had just found that [the studio] was a wonderful resource for us as a small nonprofit,” Chase-Daniel says. “It’s a resource for other nonprofits—and for youths, for adults, for entrepreneurs—that doesn’t exist elsewhere in the same way.” They undertook a series of online fundraisers to help buy the equipment, as well as live events in local venues such as Ghost, Phil Space and Second Street Brewery’s Rufina Taproom. Crawford, Sloan and Chase-Daniel eventually teamed up with Melynn Schuyler and Youthworks for

a new space adjacent to that nonprofit’s Cerrillos Road headquarters. Thus, Santa Fe Community Screenprinting was born in July. “I knew there was a group of artists who were hunting for a location, and YouthWorks is all about occupational training and industry—arts are a part of that,” YouthWorks founder Schuyler says. “We had this building, and we said, let’s just adopt [the program]; make it fairly opendoor and put that silk screening team in charge. Let’s let our young people dip in and out of there and learn from them so they can become the next generation of artists and teachers.” Schuyler, Sloan and Crawford would negotiate a deal for the purchase of the equipment, and though she didn’t name the exact dollar amount, Schuyler says it was fair. “It was just the matter of showing [Warehouse 21] that it had emotional value,” she explains. “We were glad to find this space,” Sloan says, “because this is supposed to be for the community.” Ultimately, the new studio works as it always did at Warehouse 21: Classes with Sloan and Crawford are available on Wednesdays and Thursdays for $20 plus materials and setup fees (which fluctuate based on the complexity of the design). Students, who can be of any age, bring in whatever they’d like to print on, such as totes or tees, and learn the process. They’ll

need a transparency of whatever design they’d like to work with (transparencies can be made at any copy shop, though we recommend Copy Shack at 1583 Pacheco St.), and there are countless other details to consider, so it might be wise to pop by a class and gather all the information before you go barreling in. “You’ll see the whole process,” Crawford explains. “We’re not doing it for you, we’re not just giving a demonstration. It’s always been fun to see someone with a small project finish it that day or in two days.” The studio is even available to do print jobs just like any printing company—but this one comes with the feel-good notion that you’ve supported something local and nonprofit. Further, Sloan and Crawford say they’re hoping to establish partnerships within the community to bolster the studio and the scene. Sloan teaches workshops at local schools and hopes field trips to the space are in the future as well; the Santa Fe Indian School is right across the street, for example. “It’s a priority,” Sloan says of forging partnerships. “We’re just not quite sure how to make that happen yet.”

COURTESY SANTAFEDREAMERSPROJECT.ORG

Lawyer and Santa Fe Dreamers Project founder Allegra Love is furious; furious about the detention of migrants and immigrants, about the current political landscape, indeed about America itself. But Love is also organized, fired up and ready to discuss the issues at her upcoming talk, part of the month-long series Confinement in the Land of Enchantment, organized by the Santa Fe Public Library (4:30 pm Monday Nov. 5. Free. LaFarge Branch, 1730 Llano St., 955-4860). The event series and art show focuses on the past, present and future of migrant detention in New Mexico, and we can’t think of a better riler-upper when it comes to the topic than Love. A slightly extended version of this interview is available at SFReporter.com. (Alex De Vore)

Bid on artwork Enjoy live music Refreshments provided animalwelfarenewmexico.org

What specifically is this event going to be like? We’re here to sort of talk about what the detention of immigrants is like in our state—how it’s unfolding in our state and some of the forces that are creating it. For example, it’s not just simply that ICE is evil or Trump is evil, but the corporate price, the conditions of detention, who is making a profit—and where we, as citizens of New Mexico, can take action in terms of resisting corporate detention and government detention. I’m going to educate people about the facts, what our options are, but also power. Am I crazy, or does it seem like the detention of immigrants has seemingly left the news cycle? You’re not crazy, that’s absolutely right. I can’t tell you why journalists have stopped covering it. Media coverage is absolutely essential to sustaining the rage we have about it. In June and July, New Mexicans were saying they were ready to die for this cause, and I filled up a church with 500 people in June—the other night, three people came out. I can’t explain to you why we have such a limited attention span, but I think it has to do with what the media’s covering or not. There are some spectacularly awful things happening, and people pay attention to what they see on their news feeds. The problem with immigration issues is that it requires an immense amount of attention, and immigration—I’m not sure there’s anything you can learn about it from a tweet. What are some real, doable steps everyday people can take if they want to support the cause? Show up at the lecture at the LaFarge Library, and we’re doing one at the downtown branch as well later in November. I would say start paying attention to the Detention Watch Network. The other thing we have to do is to start with our newly elected officials. We don’t have to accept the detention of immigrants and migrants in our state as a condition of having immigrants in this state. We also have the right to ask our politicians to explain if they’re going to keep these places open. We have the right to have them explain to us why they’re supporting this. Not a single migrant has to be detained, and when you look into it, that’s when you start to see the money. If right now I was going to give money to anyone, I would look to organizations like Al Otro Lado [alotrolado.org] and ... one of the parts of the discussion we’re having [at LaFarge] is how to send money, and who to send money to.

mildly rowdy crowd is bundled against a chilly night, iced drinks in hand; slightly janky floors creak under old recycled theater seats and a few folding chairs. Before the curtain rises, audience members call to each other around the house, as pretty much everyone knows each other. As for the live accompaniment, at curtain there’s a bottle of Corona on top of the organ. By act two, it’s two bottles. Goofy productions in the Engine House Theater have long been a tradition in Madrid. The barn-like building, which served as the train engine repair shop during the town’s era as a bustling mining community, was later converted into a performance space and has hosted various plays and events for decades. For about 25 years, summer melodramas went down under the purview of thespians Cliff and Ede Cato, former owners of the Mine Shaft Tavern and the Old Coal Mine Museum, and this writer had a couple turns on that stage in 2006. But once the Catos sold the property in 2007, the theater went mostly quiet. Occasional events went up, including poetry readings, fundraisers and the He-She Bang, a locals’ delight drag and variety show (which sees its 27th iteration this November), but nothing with the regularity of the Madrid Melodrama’s reign. In 2014, however, musician Joe West staged his first Theater of Death there, and each year since has presented a weird-ass Halloween-season production. West’s original folky Americanaey countryish music, rooted firmly in storytelling, has always painted crisp pictures of the local lifestyle—West’s ancestors settled ranchland in the San Marcos area three generations ago and has been here ever since—so it’s not surprising that he also has a penchant for actual theatrical productions.

West says the concept of the Theater of Death is inspired by the historic Théâtre du Grand-Guignol in Paris, which operated from 1897 until 1962. That badass institution crafted counterculture creations of horror and gore, psychological drama, live sex acts and generally shocking shit. Founder Oscar Metenier, who was often shut down by police censors, judged the success of a production by how many audience members fainted during the show, and employed a staff doctor. Admittedly, a Metenier West is not. The Madrid productions are perhaps unpolished and undeniably silly. As for being shocking, it’s hard to produce anything shocking at this point (particularly in Madrid). No one was even close to fainting, though a few drinks did get spilled. Each year has a broad theme: In 2016 it was Champagne, 2017 was marijuana, and this year it’s aliens. The themes are specific enough that threads can easily be found, but broad enough that you can kind of do anything and find a way to make it link back. Two shorts this year are penned by West himself,

a third (the most brief, with no spoken words) is by Timothy Willis, and the fourth is by Theodore Sturgeon, adapted to stage by West. So … it’s kind of the Joe West Show. Well, let’s back up. It would be the Joe West Show were it not for a delightful cast, not to mention a crew that is surprisingly large. The sets are a riot; they’re not necessarily large or intricate, but an articulated plywood cow, projected videos, puppets, flashing lights and various things flying about on strings definitely make for an engaging visual experience. It’s clear that the painters and carpenters had a lot of fun putting this thing together—it’s a real pleasure to watch unfold. West casts his cohorts and friends, as well as folks he plucks from theatrical productions in Santa Fe. This year’s show includes a lot of familiar faces, and not just from the Shaft (though there’s definitely plenty of that; West tells SFR that “a lot of times, [the cast] was just whoever was hanging around the bar”). Madrid musician Caiti Lord, who’s recently begun playing tunes in Santa Fe (which I’m very happy about—I still think

THEATER

about her ukulele rendition of Missy Elliott’s “Work It” from a few years ago), has a few truly diabolical turns. Audiences also see the silly side of Todd Anderson (from the Adobe Rose’s Building the Wall and Ironweed’s The Crucible), as well as that of Andrew Wice, local author and creator of the Madrid Oral History Tour app. Stephen Rommel, a TOD veteran who’s lent his talents to shows in Santa Fe, also makes appearances. Timbo Arnold of local bluesy outfit Cactus Slim and the Goatheads (one of my favorite band names ever) lends his guitar chops to the live music side of things. As you’re watching the action unfold, if you find yourself muttering, “Hey, isn’t that that guy …?” you’re probably right. I would say that this is by locals, for locals, but the second part isn’t true. It’s fun for everyone. With vignette titles like “Alien Baby” and “Death by Crystal Egg,” and scripts that just go in circles (many of the dialogues kind of sounded like the transcribed babblings of a small child playing in the bathtub), this is definitely a relaxed evening of ridiculousness. When a character murmurs onstage, “If only they knew what really happened …” the audience immediately yells: “Tell us!” When a cycloptic puppet’s mouth moves with no sound, West calls from the organ: “Turn on the baby’s mic!” But underlying the inebriated fun is legitimate talent. If this show was put on by a bunch of stereotypical burnouts, it would have fallen apart. The aforementioned set pieces, designer Meg Lenzer’s really quite awesome costumes (how do they keep the nurses’ sneakers so white?), zany lighting and more couldn’t be controlled by slackers. The vibe is laid-back and the feel decidedly real—because the less the actors and crew dick around, all the more the audience can just enjoy. But if you want to enjoy, you should commit ASAP. Even I didn’t get to a single Theater of Death before this year due to the speed at which it always sells out, so don’t waste any time. And, word to the wise: The theater’s attached to the bar, so just open a tab. THEATER OF DEATH VI: INVASION! 8 pm Wednesday-Saturday Oct. 31-Nov. 3; 3 pm Saturday and Sunday Nov. 3 and 4. $20.

Albuquerque-based seafood chain with a Cajun bent It quickly became apparent to me opens new location in Santa Fe that this is no on-the-go lunch experience. Crackin’ Crab’s dishes are messy on purpose, and meant to be shared among friends. Tables are covered in butcher paper, bibs are practically a requirement and utensils are available by request. You order seafood by the pound rather than by the dish, then choose your sides, sauce and level of heat. The menu also features recommended combinations, which equal out to two and a half to three pounds of fish for $49.95. Besides crawfish, there’s also snow, Dungeness or king crab, mussels, scallops, clams A dozen raw oysters and shrimp—with or without on the half shell at the heads. Sauce can be either the new Santa Fe lemon pepper or the house location of Crackin’ Crackin’ Sauce. I went with Crab, located at the DeVargas Center. the hottest version of the latter, obviously, which turned out to be a New Mexican riff on the classic Cajun boil, with black pepper and paprika accompanied by a softly sweet heat reminiscent of red chile. This would be the highlight of the meal, though sides like corn on the cob (75 cents), coleslaw ($2), Cajun fries ($4.50) and a giant aesthetic mashup is reminiscent of the BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN order of thick, hearty bread ($1.25) for spot’s changing identity, since it remains a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m in the hands of the family who started the sopping up the sauce are not bad.

knocked it out of the park. Maybe I’m just starved for any kind of Cajun-inspired dining experience in Santa Fe, but when the waiter plopped down a steaming plastic bag full of spice-encrusted crawdaddies and red potato, I was immediately won over. I pulled off the tails and sucked the boil out of the heads, throwing the detritus into the provided plastic bucket. The sauce was salty and spicy, and I slathered it over slabs of bread and topped with coleslaw. By the time I was done, the table looked like a battlefield, and I was thankful for the complementary bib and subsequent wet wipes that accompanied the end of the meal. The very things that made me a little leery about the experience—that it’s in a mall parking lot, that everything is decidedly removed from the typical prejudices of what a restaurant in New Mexico can offer—ended up endowing my meal with an easy, appealing charm. And, with a couple tweaks, the menu and concept could really shine. Po’boys would be a welcome addition, especially for the single diner on the go. There are certainly the raw materials—or rather, the fried and sauced materials—onsite to make them. Thankfully, Crackin’ Crab intends to acquire a beer and wine license in the next few months—because, truly, an ice-cold Corona to wash everything down would complete the seafood boil experience. As it was, I ordered a Thai tea ($5) for dessert, an homage to the space’s former focus. For a restaurant predicated on seafood existing miles from any ocean, Crackin’ Crab exceeded my expectations—but next time, I’m bringing backup to help eat through a pound of crawfish.

Jonah Hill’s ode to fear and skating in Los Angeles

+ SULJIC; THE

Jonah Hill pens and directs his magnum opus, Mid90s, a film that’s about as niche as they come and that unabashedly mines its target demo’s feelings and nostalgia to middling results. It’s the mid-’90s, and 13-year old Stevie (a tiny Sunny Suljic) is hitting that terrible age where one is willing to die to look cool; where one begins making questionable decisions, hates their mother and develops friendships for the first time not out of schoolyard proximity, but tangible emotions, even if they’re spurred by hormones. Despite obvious adulation for his abusive hiphop-obsessed older brother, Stevie starts forming his own personality within the world of skateboard burnouts, sage-like older kids, drug and alcohol experimentation and one of the most uncomfortable sex scenes in the history of movies. And though Mid90s can be commended for attempting to capture the feel of a subculture from a very specific era, and very nearly succeeds, for every moment of sincerity, there are about a dozen more that border on the manipulative— like the opening shot that scans over a Teenage

SOUNDTRACK

- A LITTLE

HOLLOW; PREYS ON A CERTAIN AGE’S FEELINGS OF MISSPENT YOUTH

Mutant Ninja Turtles bedspread to the Super Nintendo controller, or Stevie’s wardrobe of Ren & Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead tees. Suljic is not half bad as a pretty good kid grappling with his own coming-of-age, and Hill’s casting of relative unknowns in the roles of his pals recalls Larry Clark’s then-controversial 1995 film in the same vein, Kids. Hill probably liked that movie very much and isn’t afraid to wear its influence on his sleeve, but we’d have preferred a bit more character study over any number of drawnout montages or reductive glances at what we assume was mental illness, poverty, peer pressure, alcoholism and good old-fashioned teen years sucking. Fantastic Beasts’ Katherine Waterston is so fleeting and inconsequential as Stevie’s mother that we wonder why Hill even bothered, outside of a weak attempt at establishing a moral

compass. Stevie’s brother (Lucas Hedges) feels pointless as well, but Na-kel Smith as Ray, the voice of reason, will surely draw well-deserved attention for an onscreen ease we rarely see from an actor so young. But in the end, the closest thing to a message or moral we can extract is that kids are going to do stupid shit and cave to pressures often, though we don’t actually see the consequences of these actions in any meaningful way save a too-quick wrap-up that feels like pretty much nothing. Good soundtrack, though. MID90S Directed by Hill With Suljic, Waterston, Smith and Hedges Regal, Violet Crown, R, 84 min.

+ SELF-AWARE; FUN; KILLER SOUND - SOME FORCED RED HERRINGS; A FEW TOO-DUMB PLOT TWISTS

Oh. Em. Gee. It’s been 40 years since John Carpenter’s original Halloween found Michael Myers and his Shatner mask (look it up, nerds) terrorizing Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her pals, and now he’s back in sequel-butmaybe-also-kind-of-a-reboot form, and he’s up to his old tricks again. The new Halloween comes to us courtesy of Carpenter and Curtis, who produce here, but also screenwriter/producer Danny McBride (yes, from Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals) and director David Gordon Green (an executive producer on Vice Principals). And whereas no one can say this entry is particularly great or anything, it does do itself a favor by cherry-picking elements from other films in the series, putting the kibosh on others and picking up in the wake of Michael’s escape from a mental institution—always an exciting premise. Over the years, Laurie Strode has been preparing herself in case her arch enemy should ever return. She’s been firing guns and building traps and dabbling in the art of hand-to-hand

combat. That’s all well and good, and Curtis can definitely pull off tough, but it turns out that by also trying to prepare her daughter (Judy Greer) for the serial killer, she’s caused rifts in her family that are tough to heal. Enter her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak, who has mostly done TV before now) and her high school contemporaries played by ultra-attractive 20-somethings (who you just know are cruising for a bruising), a couple of podcast producers for some reason and a face or two from the original film, and you’ve really got something—namely, a horror flick that knows what it is, pays homage in all the right ways and understands when it’s time to not take itself too seriously. Yes, there are jump-scares and a few moments of borderline hysterical gore, and these bits are fun, but Halloween truly excels in the sound design department. From nerve-wracking footsteps just outside the door or the squish of a knife, to the subtle buzz of fluorescent lights or rhythmic breathing, whoever did Foley on this thing deserves an Oscar. But we still don’t get our questions answered, and one always wonders why teenagers find themselves unable to resist the call of going to check out what that sound was upstairs.

FIRST MAN

9

+ THE DANGER OF SPACE TRAVEL - A LITTLE HEAVY AT TIMES

At one point in Damien Chazelle’s glorious First Man, Janet Armstrong (Claire Foy), the wife of famed astronaut Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling), dresses down some self-assured NASA administrators, comparing them to “a bunch of boys making models out of balsa wood.” Part of the

genius of the La La Land director’s biopic about the first human to walk on the moon is that it effectively portrays both the majesty and the folly of the space program. Chazelle embodies that dichotomy with the inclusion of two poems: pilot John Gillespie Magee’s “High Flight,” which marvels at having “slipped the surly bonds of earth,” and Gil Scott-Heron’s 1970 recording of “Whitey on the Moon”: “I can’t pay no doctor bill / But Whitey’s on the moon / Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still / While Whitey’s on the moon.” Adapted from James R Hansen’s biography of the same name, First Man is unambiguous on one issue: the bravery and ingenuity of the test pilots and astronauts who faced death daily for the sake of history. Even the best entries in the space-film genre tend to sterilize interstellar travel, often portraying it as sleek and futuristic. First Man, better and more aggressively than

any of its peers, conveys the grimy, harrowing mechanics of the early space program. Yes, there are scenes in which Chazelle pays homage to those cinematic predecessors, chiefly a portion of the Gemini 8 mission set to a waltz that’s an obvious paean to 2001: A Space Odyssey. But with the partial exception of the Apollo 11 moon shot, every rocket launch is filmed from a claustrophobic perspective inside the spacecraft, where every roar, shutter, and creak of the capsule carries palpable dread. Chazelle shows the astronauts to be more than just guinea pigs strapped atop Roman candles. Armstrong, an engineering egghead and civilian test pilot, must make numerous life-or-death decisions through his career; some demonstrate his intelligence and some call into question whether he has the right stuff. His courage and skill shine during a trio of action sequences, some of the most thrilling you’re likely to see this year. The film opens with Armstrong kissing the cosmos during a breathtaking—and failed—X-15 test flight. His courage under fire burns brightest during the aborted Gemini 8 mission, which ends with his craft violently tumbling through space. Finally, accompanied by Justin Hurwitz’ soaring orchestration, Armstrong navigates a gripping, poignant descent of the Eagle Module to the lunar surface. Over the eight years covered in the film, the Armstrongs live with death, from those of nameless pilot friends to their cancer-stricken young daughter to the launchpad fire that incinerated the Apollo 1 crew. When Gosling occasionally becomes a brooding cipher, Foy is there to refocus the narrative on the emotional toll exacted by his heroic destiny. Aided by cinematographer Linus Sandgren’s handheld camerawork, much of First Man is a meditative portrait of a taciturn yet resolute hero whose achievements are less about one small step for a man than a giant leap for mankind. (Neil Morris) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 141 min.

charming guy who cracks a delicious smile while revealing the big iron tucked in his overcoat. There’s also the cop John Hunt (Casey Affleck) tasked with catching Tucker and his cohorts, who are played by Danny Glover and Tom Waits. Affleck struggles with his respect for Tucker’s passion and suavity. Unsurprisingly, banks are robbed and consequences ensue, but since the principal characters are old, the fallout doesn’t seem too awful. The relationships between these characters feels natural. Redford and Spacek’s chemistry is spot-on, with romantic moments between them subtle and charming, while Affleck and Redford’s dynamic is compelling—almost like a friendship instead of a cat-and-mouse rivalry. There’s a distinct nostalgic tone that remarkably doesn’t venture too far into the cultural context of the time; the music is upbeat and smooth, drawing you into the 1980s and setting the scene, but never shoving the pop culture of the day down your throat. Yet the plot isn’t particularly cohesive, nor are there many moments of suspense. In

+ EXCELLENT ACTING - PLOT COULD HAVE USED FURTHER DEVELOPMENT

There are parallels between actor Robert Redford and Forrest Tucker, the real-life career criminal who robbed banks until the ripe old age of 79, and who Redford portrays in his newest film. For one, they’re both old and respectable dudes who did what they loved throughout his career. Old Man & the Gun is Redford’s much-ballyhooed final film, and it’s a fitting send-off for the end of a Hollywood legend’s long career. The movie is fittingly about the end of Tucker’s career and his relationship with a woman named Jewel (Sissy Spacek). He’s a handsome,

That’s Venom for you—always grabbing dudes and eating their heads and stuff. one scene, Tucker’s in Dallas, then he’s in St. Louis and then he’s right back in Dallas again. Similarly, Hunt’s struggle with his respect for Tucker versus his professional obligation to catch a criminal isn’t as developed as it should be. Furthermore, it’s made obvious that Tucker’s going to get caught at some point, and his attempts at avoiding capture seem pointless as a result—this defuses much of the potential tension. Towards the end, Redford sits on a horse wearing a thick poncho and a wide-brimmed hat. On the horizon, cop cars roll by as the night turns to dawn. Tucker is, in the end, still a cowboy, but it’s time for him to ride off into the sunrise. Perhaps that is melodramatic, but The Old Man & the Gun is swathed in sentiment, and is every bit about Redford as it is Tucker. (Layne Radlauer) Center for Contemporary Arts, PG-13, 93 min.

and kind of kickass—be it in moments wherein the pair sprints up buildings or climbs spacebound rockets or bites people’s heads off. Hardy is oddly fantastic as a scared man coming to terms with his newfound lot in life, and Ahmed’s understated villain does get pretty creepy, we only wish they’d developed him a little more. Fans of the comics will probably find more things to like than those walking in cold, but as far as comic book action movies go, Venom is certainly one of the more fun entries out there. Director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) surely realized he had a wonderful opportunity to embrace more comedic elements here and ran with it, and good for him. Now, assuming you don’t have some chip on your shoulder about refusing to like dumb/fun comic book movies, it should be a breeze to sit back and watch the heads pop. Go nuts. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 112 min.

+ MORE FUN THAN YOU’D THINK - CITIZEN KANE THIS AIN’T, BUT IS THAT A BAD THING?

It’s a little weird to make a Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man, but Tom Hardy and company come pretty close to awesome with Venom. See, the rights to Marvel Comics properties are basically a mess. Some studios own certain characters, others own other characters, and what you get is movies that are forced to navigate some seriously tricky licensing. That said, Venom is certainly a raucous good time, even if it ultimately feels a tad anemic, at least right up until the mid-credits scene (no spoilers, but you’re gonna wanna see it). Hardy is Eddie Brock, a Vice-esque journalist who runs afoul of a bazillionaire and scruples-free scientist type named Carlton Drake (Nightcrawler‘s Riz Ahmed) the very same week he loses his job and girlfriend (a there but it doesn’t much matter Michelle Williams). Seems Drake has been human-testing some crazy alien shit, and when a scientist played by Jenny Slate (Parks and Recreation) develops a conscience, Eddie is thrust into a symbiotic relationship with a parasitic creature named Venom who can make him all strong and acrobatic and stuff. It’s dumb, yeah, but the interplay between Eddie and Venom is both charmingly funny

EDIE and ERIK were rescued with their litter mates from a mobile home park near Española. We believe they are from two related litters rather than from the same litter. They were all thin and very hungry, but have been steadily gaining weight. TEMPERAMENT: All the kittens are very playful and love to wrestle. The EDIE kittens must either be adopted together or go to homes with another playful cat or kitten. EDIE is a beautiful girl with brown tabby markings. AGE: born approx. 5/1/18. ERIK is a handsome boy with gray tabby markings. AGE: born approx. 4/24/18.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of October 31st

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You have officially arrived at the heart of the most therapeutic phase of your cycle. Congratulations! It’s an excellent time to fix what’s wrong, hurt, or distorted. You will attract more help than you can imagine if you summon an aggressive approach toward finding antidotes and cures. A good way to set the tone for your aggressive determination to feel better is to heed this advice from poet Maya Angelou: “Take a day to heal from the lies you’ve told yourself and the ones that have been told to you.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Of course I want you to have more money. I’d love for you to buy experiences that expand your mind, deepen your emotional intelligence, and foster your ability to create inspiring forms of togetherness. My soul would celebrate if you got access to new wealth that enabled you to go in quest of spiritual fun and educational adventures. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be thrilled about you spending extra cash on trivial desires or fancy junk you don’t really need. Here’s why I feel this way: to the extent that you seek more money to pursue your most righteous cravings, you’re likely to get more money.

DR. JOANNA CORTI, DOM, Powerful Medicine, Powerful Results. Homeopathy, TAURUS (April 20-May 20): U2’s singer Bono, born under the sign of Taurus, says that all of us suffer from SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Penetralia” is a word that Acupuncture. Micro-current the sense that something’s missing from our lives. We means the innermost or most private parts, the most (Acupuncture without needles.) imagine that we lack an essential quality or experience, secret and mysterious places. It’s derived from the Parasite, Liver/cleanses. and its absence makes us feel sad and insufficient. same Latin term that evolved into the word “peneNitric Oxide. Pain Relief. French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to this empti- trate.” You Scorpios are of course the zodiac’s masters Transmedium Energy Healing. ness as “a God-shaped hole.” Bono adds that “you can of penetralia. More than any other sign, you’re likely to Worker’s Compensation and never completely fill that hole,” but you may find parknow where the penetralia are, as well as how to get to Auto Accidents Insurance tial fixes through love and sex, creative expression, them and what to do when you get to them. I suspect family, meaningful work, parenting, activism, and spiri- that this tricky skill will come in extra handy during the accepted 505-501-0439 tual devotion. I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I have a strong suspicion that in the coming weeks you will have more power to fill your Godshaped hole than you’ve had in a long time.

coming weeks. I bet your intimate adeptness with penetralia will bring you power, fun, and knowledge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Most of our desires are clichés, right? Ready to wear, one size fits all. I doubt if it’s even possible to have an original desire anymore.” So says a character in Gemini author Tobias Wolff’s short story “Sanity.” Your assignment in the coming weeks, Gemini, is to refute and rebel against this notion. The cosmic rhythms will work in your favor to the degree that you cultivate innovative yearnings and unique urges. I hope you’ll make it your goal to have the experiences necessary to stir up an outbreak of original desires. CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you’re a typical member of the Cancerian tribe, you’re skilled at responding constructively when things go wrong. Your intelligence rises up hot and strong when you get sick or rejected or burned. But if you’re a classic Crab, you have less savvy in dealing with triumphs. You may sputter when faced with splashy joy, smart praise, or lucky breaks. But everything I just said is meant to be a challenge, not a curse. One of the best reasons to study astrology is to be aware of the potential shortcomings of your sign so you can outwit and overcome them. That’s why I think that eventually you’ll evolve to the point where you won’t be a bit flustered when blessings arrive. And the immediate future will bring you excellent opportunities to upgrade your response to good fortune. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Each of us needs something of an island in her life,” said poet John Keats. “If not an actual island, at least some place, or space in time, in which to be herself, free to cultivate her differences from others.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Leo, you’ll be wise to spend extra time on your own island in the next two weeks. Solitude is unlikely to breed unpleasant loneliness, but will instead inspire creative power and evoke inner strength. If you don’t have an island yet, go in search! (P.S.: I translated Keats’ pronouns into the feminine gender.) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): I’m rooting for you to engage in experimental intimacy, Virgo. I hope you’ll have an affinity for sweet blends and incandescent mixtures and arousing juxtapositions. To get in the right mood for this playful work, you could read love poetry and listen to uplifting songs that potentize your urge to merge. Here are a few lyrical passages to get you warmed up. 1. “Your flesh quivers against mine like moonlight on the sea.” — Julio Cortázar 2. “When she smiles like that she is as beautiful as all my secrets. —Anne Carson 3. “My soul is alight with your infinitude of stars . . . The flowers of your garden blossom in my body.” —Rabindranath Tagore 4. “I can only find you by looking deeper, that’s how love leads us into the world.” —Anne Michaels

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian poet Rainer Maria Rilke suggested that we cultivate an alertness for the ever-present possibility of germination and gestation. On a regular basis, he advised, we should send probes down into the darkness, into our unconscious minds, to explore for early signs of awakening. And when we discover the forces of renewal stirring there in the depths, we should be humble and reverent toward them, understanding that they are as-yet beyond the reach of our ability to understand. We shouldn’t seek to explain and define them at first, but simply devote ourselves to nurturing them. Everything I just said is your top assignment in the coming weeks.

DIWALI SPECIAL The festival of Lights is all about a lighter you. Come and found out what this New Year has to offer for you. Free Ayurvedic Herb with a Reading. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian environmentalReadings are $80

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): For renowned Piscean visual artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004), creating her work was high adventure. She testified that artists like her had “to catapult themselves wholly, without holding back one bit, into a course of action without having any idea where they will end up. They are like riders who gallop into the night, eagerly leaning on their horse’s neck, peering into a blinding rain.” Whether or not you’re an artist, Pisces, I suspect your life in the coming weeks may feel like the process she described. And that’s a good thing! A fun thing! Enjoy your ride.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re in a phase of your cycle when your influence is at a peak. People are more receptive than usual to your ideas and more likely to want the same things you do. Given these conditions, I think the best information I can offer you is the following meditation by Capricorn activist Martin Luther King Jr. “Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” ist Edward Abbey spent much of his life rambling around in the great outdoors. He was an emancipated spirit who regarded the natural world as the only church he needed. In an eruption of ecstatic appreciation, he once testified that “Life is a joyous dance through daffodils beneath cerulean blue skies and then, then what? I forget what happens next.” And yet the truth is, Abbey was more than a wild-hearted Dionysian explorer in the wilderness. He found the discipline and diligence to write 23 books! I mention this, Aquarius, because now is a perfect time for you to be like the disciplined and diligent and productive version of Abbey.
