VOLUNTEERS DELIVER SUPPLIES IN LASTING RELATIONSHIP WITH NATIVE ELDERS

Choose a health plan that lets you choose Presbyterian.

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.

Let’s All Get Plowed Santa Fe readies its readiness plan for snow storms 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

S

liding toward the curb across ice and snow, wheels askew, traction control sensor beeping away in that you’re-not-helping panicked tone, you may have wondered: “Doesn’t anybody have a plan for plowing this town?”

They do.

In fact, back in September, before it was snowing as it did this week, the city’s Public Works Director Javier Martinez was busy revising Santa Fe’s snow and ice removal plan.

Depending on how much it snows, the city has what appears to be a detailed plan of attack for getting city streets clear and passable during a storm.

Anything up to 2 inches gets what a lot of people call “sanding,” which is actual-

STORM CLASS Freezing rain, “black ice” or trace of snow 1-2 inches accumulation 2-12 inches accumulation 12-24 inches accumulation >24 inches (emergency)

ly a mixture of salt and cinder. The city lets that ride instead of plowing it off because the longer it stays on snow and ice, the more good it does. Often, as it did this week, almost everything melts in a day or two.

The plow blades don’t smack the asphalt until after a couple of inches accumulate, according to the plan. Then, a small fleet of city trucks lowers the plows and gets to work.

The city labels roads as priority one, two or three. One plow is assigned to each of five areas in the city, all of which have a separate priority list. There’s usually only one plow on the streets in each area, because putting another one to work means a supervisor has to drive it. The city doesn’t have enough people to maintain round-the-clock staffing during storms and get additional plows on the road.

There are also 26 ironically named “hot spots” around town that are on the must-plow list and get their own designated plow: Places such as the Don Diego-Cerrillos Road intersection, the hill

KEY FOR TREATMENT LEVELS 1. Apply cinder and salt mixture intermittently, covering "hot spots" and major intersections 2. Apply cinder and salt mixture uniformly 3. Plow intermittently and apply cinder and salt mixture 4.Plow repeatedly and apply cinder and salt mixture

on Jaguar Drive by Fire Station 8 and Apodaca Hill by Upper Canyon Road.

Downtown, 23 streets get ice removed whether it’s snowing or not.

The 24-page plan is comprehensive, but it relies on two things that have a tendency to break down. One is equipment.

The city has a dozen heavy-duty plows that also have attachments to spread the salt and cinder mixture. Five of those are new since 2015. The other seven are of early-’90s vintage. They break. The city

plan says some of them are “in poor condition.”

“This plan cannot be carried out effectively without all available equipment being ready at all times,” the document says plainly, emphasizing that fixing snow maintenance machinery has to be the highest priority for the city’s Fleet Maintenance Division.

The other thing that has a tendency to break down—at least according to the city—is the state’s part of the deal.

Cerrillos, St. Francis, St. Michael’s, a big chunk of Old Pecos Trail and Old Las Vegas Highway, the bypass, the road to the ski basin—all are the state’s responsibility.

In big storms, the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s District 5 crews focus on I-25. Other top priorities are Highway 599 (the Santa Fe bypass) and St. Francis Drive, which is a US highway. After that, they get to Cerrillos Road and St. Michael’s Drive, Old Las Vegas Highway and Hyde Park Road.

But district officials admit I-25 gets the bulk of the attention during a significant event, and the state and US highways that double as city streets can go unplowed. The city picks up the slack, the plan says, because “our experience is that when these NMDOT facilities don’t get properly plowed, the city gets the public criticism, and not NMDOT.” A major storm can put extra strain on city resources, and Martinez says he’s already let city councilors know that a big winter could lead to extra costs for overtime and more salt and cinder mix for the roads.

“The coordination between DOT and the city is better than it was in the past,” Martinez tells SFR the day after the most recent storm. He used to work for the state and still has relationships there that can help open communication channels. The city has not asked the state to reimburse it for staff time or material costs in the past.

Here Comes the Nug Adult-use cannabis bill likely to land on new governor’s desk next year

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

leven.

That’s the number a coalition working to bring recreational cannabis to New Mexico has in their sights.

After Michigan became the 10th state last week to legalize adult use of the plant, legislators, advocates and business owners who spoke with SFR say New Mexico is poised to become the 11th. (It’s also legal to use and grow in the District of Columbia.)

Many of the pieces now seem to be in place. A majority in the state House are favorable to the idea, and senators have warmed to it since a failed effort that would have added a proposed constitutional amendment to ballots in 2016.

Two state representatives, Javier Martínez (D-Albuquerque) and Bill McCamley (D-Las Cruces), introduced a legalization bill during the 2017 session for the purpose of workshopping it ahead of a future session when its passage appeared more likely. With an incoming governor who has expressed openness to signing such a bill into law, that time could be in just a few months.

NOVEMBER 14-20, 2018

Martínez confirms to SFR that he plans re-introduce the bill ahead of this coming legislative session. House Speaker Rep. Brian Egolf (D-Santa Fe) tells SFR the chances of a bill passing this time around are far higher. Pending the specifics of newly filed legislation, weed might be legal in New Mexico as soon as July.

“I don’t know if I have a whip count on the floor for recreational cannabis, but my guess is if it were to make it to the floor, it would probably pass the House,” says Egolf, a personal supporter of recreational cannabis who also serves as legal counsel for the state’s largest dispensary, Ultra Health.

Any bill introduced in either the House or the Senate would initially be referred to at least two committees for review before arriving on the chamber floor for a vote.

Depending on which chamber passes the bill, that version would then go to the other chamber for its own passage. Lastly, the House and the Senate reconcile any discrepancies between their separate versions before sending it to the governor for a signature or veto.

McCamley, whose tenure in the state House will end after December following a failed run for state auditor, tells SFR some of the main issues for legislators to hash out will be whether revenue generated from cannabis goes to the general fund or is earmarked for specific projects.

He says lawmakers also will also need to write “safeguards” to prevent children and some young adults from obtaining the plant.

In the past, the Senate has been most resistant to recreational cannabis, according to Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino (D-Albuquerque), who has championed the cause for years and plans to carry a legalization bill in the Senate. He tells SFR that while he’s personally been unsuccessful convincing certain senators to support the idea, he feels “optimistic”

about the upcoming session.

“With a governor in office who is in favor of legalization, I think some Republicans who have been unanimous in opposition [and] were loyal to [Governor] Martinez maybe feel they can now vote the way they really feel,” he says.

Sen. Mark Moores (R-Albuquerque) tells SFR he opposes recreational cannabis, which he believes “is bad for society and has hugely negative consequences, like alcohol.” But he describes the shifting political landscape as a reason he is inclined to support a legalization measure, so long as it comes with a strong regulatory framework. (A survey from Albuquerque-based Research and Polling, Inc. this fall found that 60 percent of likely voters support legalization, and a 2016 survey pegged more than 65 percent of New Mexicans as supporters.)

“I don’t want recreational marijuana, but I understand the political reality that it is here,” Moores says. “I want to make sure we have a system that is extremely well-regulated, and the ability to take those revenues and mitigate some of those negative social impacts that marijuana has.”

Sen. Peter Wirth (D-Santa Fe), the Senate’s majority floor leader, says his chamber is more likely to vote in favor now because Democrats picked up two seats in the 2016 election. Like Egolf, he is also a personal supporter of recreational cannabis.

“I think the fact that we’re not first [to legalize cannabis under state law] is important here,” Wirth tells SFR. “We’re not re-inventing the wheel. We’re also a border state with Texas, where there’s no recreational or medical [cannabis, and] I think this would lead to huge economic development on the east side of our state.”

Both Martínez and McCamley have worked closely over the last year with the Drug Policy Alliance, which has held numerous meetings with legislators, dispensary owners and others about what an adult cannabis industry could look like in New Mexico. A central part of that conversation has been how to tax it.

According to Emily Kaltenbach, DPA New Mexico’s executive director, revenues from cannabis would likely be collected at the point of retail sales, based on what has worked elsewhere. When cannabis was first legalized in Washington, for example, that state tried to tax growers, processors and retailers separately, but growers would often partner with processors in order to skirt the tax. Washington wound up replacing the three-tiered arrangement with a single tax on retailers.

Current purchasers of cannabis in New Mexico’s medical program pay just gross receipts tax. Whether and how the state levies additional excise tax could get complicated in a hurry.

Taxing cannabis sales is trickier than other excise taxes such as the one on gas, which can be applied to a number of gallons, because cannabis comes in many forms such as edibles, beverages, joints, and topical creams. Richard Pomp, an adviser to states on tax law, told New Mexico’s Revenue Stabilization and Tax Policy in July that most other states with legal adult use impose the tax as a percentage of a product’s purchase price.

Pomp also told the committee that New Mexico could expect total tax revenue between $30 and $60 million a year, in addition to state and local gross receipts taxes, as well as revenue collected through the business licensing process and increased tourism.

Medical cannabis producers look forward to expansion Future market will depend on new plant caps, regulations on license holders

Governor-elect Michelle Lujan Grisham likes to tout the fact that she was health secretary when then-Governor Bill Richardson signed the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act into law.

At that time, in 2007, only 11 other states had legalized medical marijuana. New Mexico’s cannabis program seemed imperiled when Gov. Susana Martinez pledged to repeal it during her gubernatorial campaign in 2010. That never happened, but Martinez’ aversion to cannabis manifested in constant battles with dispensary owners over the last eight years.

Lujan Grisham says she’ll not only undo some restrictions imposed on the medical program, but is inclined to sign a bill opening up cannabis use for all adults. And the biggest dispensary owners in the state, who are poised to ramp up their medical cannabis operations for recreational customers, already have her ear.

“I’ll take the advice of folks in the industry who are clear about making sure you have the opportunity to regulate,” Lujan Grisham told SFR shortly before the election. “If they tell me there is a plant cap that does not limit patient access, I would undertake that. Every decision is evidence-based, I don’t need to rush into any decision.”

The plant cap issue may now be a moot point after the dispensary Ultra Health prevailed in a lawsuit against the Health Department over an annual producers’ limit of 450 plants. On Thursday Nov. 1, Santa Fe District Court Judge David K Thomson gave the Health Department 120 days to come up with an alternative to the 450-plant cap. Lujan Grisham will be sworn in Jan. 1.

Ultra Health CEO Duke Rodriguez says his dispensaries around the

state would be ready to start selling cannabis to all adults by July, notwithstanding any new plant limits.

“I think every state that has attempted to move into adult use has either stumbled or, in fact, failed, and I think New Mexico is probably best positioned than any state to get it right,” says Rodriguez, whose pro-pot attorney, Brian Egolf, is the speaker of New Mexico’s House of Representatives.

A top representative for Minerva Canna, another large dispensary network, says most producers would welcome a less restrictive plant cap but are wary of new producers getting into the market. New producers might mean more competition in New Mexico’s cannabis industry, which could be good for customers but might also lead to a glut of pot, a la Oregon.

“We’re very much positioned to fully embrace recreational use here in New Mexico,” said the Minerva representative, who did not want to be named because he feared it might affect his standing with his creditors.

Some producers have voiced concern about whether the state can effectively prevent large businesses from out of state coming in and taking over the market. Ultra Health, for example, is based in Arizona and reports the most revenue of New Mexico’s producers.

Carlos Gonzales, the executive director of New Mexicann Natural Medicine, says he hopes Lujan Grisham will seek input from longtime producers on this issue.

“Will there be some kind of regulations on and or looking at the amounts that are produced by each producer, or is it just someone with big money comes in and purchases all the licenses and everybody goes away and it’s a monopoly?”

Gonzales tells SFR. Zeke Shortes, the owner of the Sacred Garden dispensaries, says he “feels really good” about Lujan Grisham’s election. He adds that his operations need more time to scale up for a recreational market. Others he has spoken with have said the same.

“About 70 percent [of dispensaries] are in favor of recreational,” Shortes guesstimates. “The 30 percent who don’t want it are undercapitalized and don’t feel like they can make the move without selling off part of their company or taking out high-interest loans. It’s not because they don’t think it’s the right thing to do.

“Everyone in this state has known this was going to happen,” Shortes continues, “so to be myopic and not prepared for it is kind of silly, in my mind.”

The three panelists will each offer their individual reflections and ruminations about what the elections are saying, as well as how we might understand the intense, inflamed and disputed events in our country that we are currently facing hour by hour, day by day. Are these radical shifts of the ground of our being, these quaking structures of our collective lives, propelling us towards the edge of destruction or are they heralding an unexplainable transformation, an innovation, an essential reformation? Following these remarks, the panelists will turn to the group for further elaborations and dialogue.

The central question continues to be: What is emerging individually and collectively from the multi-leveled complexity of our current psycho-political world?

(See “Papers Online” on our website for 2012, 2013, and 2016 papers on election politics by Institute presenters.)

The three Friday night panelists will reconvene on Saturday in a workshop format, to continue the discussion about the state of our country. We’ll begin by addressing questions and thoughts emerging from the Friday evening discussions. We’ll follow these reflections as they lead us more deeply into exploring how we each are contending, individually and collectively, with the multi-leveled complexity of our current psycho-political world. Everyone is invited to bring not only perceptions and thoughts, but also dreams, poems, writings, or drawings, to contribute to our reflections.

he land around Chinle, Arizona, is just what Eastern kids picture the pre-Columbian American West to be: Red rock mesas sweep up to turquoise skies.

Roads along ridgelines overlook vast expanses of sagebrush and washes. Wild ponies graze under rainbows. A scouring fresh wind flows over it all. It’s some of the most beautiful land on the planet.

The Navajo Nation—the Rez or Dinétah—encompasses 27,000 square miles in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah.

It’s larger than Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont combined; though, while those three states (which, by all accounts, contain a lot of empty space) have a population of 8.8 million people, the Rez is home to just under 357,000. Most roads are unpaved. In the 2000 Census, 32 percent of homes lacked indoor plumbing, and the per capita income was $7,269. New Mexico’s that year was $17,261—then considered the lowest in the United States.

All of those are the easy numbers to find. The numbers that express vastness; the numbers that express lean living.

What the numbers don’t show are

A supply van heads to the homeland of Elizabeth Clah, a Navajo elder in Many Farms, outside Chinle, Arizona.

rainstorms moving across the plains, open doors and warm homes; huge steaming pots of mutton stew, frybread and beans, coolers of watered-down lemonade and fruit punch, earthy Navajo tea; 8-bit flip-phone ringtones and laughter and percussive Diné conversation floating out of a chapter house kitchen.

The numbers reflect too easily the haves and the have-nots; the ones who want and the ones who provide. There’s the us, and there’s the them.

Troublesome as that may be, the meeting of the two can be as enduring and hopeful as it is improbable—and, as in the case of one nonprofit that has been at it for more than 30 years, life-changing.

The beauty and mystery of Dinétah have captivated people for as long as they have lived on Turtle Island.

The rich natural resources under the land have also long been of interest to those who could profit from them.

In the 1970s and ’80s, when the US government evicted more than 10,000 Indigenous people off Diné and Hopi land, under the thinly manufactured veneer of tribal disagreements was one thing: coal extraction.

The documentary Broken Rainbow,

which won an Academy Award in 1985, told the story of this relocation and, in turn, centuries of mistreatment of Native Americans. Shortly after its release, a screening in Utah drew the interest of a Park City woman named Linda Myers.

Myers, a fiber artist and then the owner of a gift shop in the resort town, was struck by the beauty of the Navajo culture—and also by the deep needs of those on the reservation, particularly Navajo elders living traditional lifestyles despite encroaching modernity.

“I couldn’t let it go, the documentary,” Myers tells SFR. “Seeing old people being removed from their land. … Most of these elders were told to take care of their land and their animals that they were given, and they did. They didn’t move off until the government started removing them.”

Shortly thereafter, she, along with Navajo activist Grace Smith-Yellowhammer, began loading up Myers’ pickup truck with whatever supplies they could find—clothes, household goods and non-perishables. Whenever the truck was full, they’d drive down to the Navajo Nation and hand out what they had, then drive back to northern Utah.

Eventually, the Navajo grandmothers she served asked Myers if she could sell

their handwoven rugs in wealthy Park City, so Myers took rugs from the women and sold them in her store. Year by year, the efforts grew more complex.

Myers, whose calm, gentle presence evokes a bit of a female Mister Rogers, traveled down to Arizona as often as

she could. But as a single mother and business owner, she could only accomplish so much. Her supplies would always run out long before the elders’ needs were met, she says, and one grandmother finally asked: “Can you get someone to adopt me?”

And so, in 1989, she founded AdoptA-Native-Elder.

In October 2018, SFR spent three days on a delivery run with ANE, accompanying nearly 50 other volunteers from Santa Fe and around the country; this was our experience.

It’s hard not to be wary of a nonNative-headed nonprofit focused on Native needs—so when I heard that a caravan from Santa Fe would be meeting a caravan from Utah at a Best Western near Canyon de Chelly to deliver food to the Navajo Reservation with the curiously named nonprofit (anelder.org), my white savior radar went off.

Myers has been doing this work for more than three decades; I figured she wouldn’t flinch when I mentioned my hesitations. I was right.

The skepticism “comes from Native people first,” Myers says. “That was CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

my bigger struggle—Native people being negative about it. So I listened to the criticism, and oftentimes I’d just say, ‘So tell me somebody who can do what I can do.

Tell me a better way.’ I’m always open to a better way. ‌ I took [criticism] as an opportunity to ask those questions.�

The strongest resistance came in the beginning, when it was a one-pickuptruck deal. “I was down at Big Mountain, handing out what little food I could raise, and there were these four ladies that would stand up on the hillside under a tree and watch me,â€? Myers recalls. “I wanted to go up and invite them down, but Grace said, ‘No, don’t. Just let them be.’ And over the years, I learned, people are observing you. They’re going to decide when they want help or if they want to be helped by you. And one day, I was trying to put food boxes in peoples’ cars, and somebody came up and hit me on the arm and said, ‘Box.’ And it was one of the ladies from the hill. She didn’t know a lot of English, but she knew what she wanted: She wanted a box. ‌ So that’s how it started, with some of those older ones that really were against—you know, me.â€?

Myers relies heavily on volunteer coordinators on the ground at each of the food runs to communicate with locals; many are the children of some of the first elders ever enrolled in ANE. Mary R Begay, the coordinator at Big Mountain, exhales slowly when I ask how long she’s been involved. She estimates about 18 years, and says ANE first began holding food runs on her mother’s land about 22 years ago. One day, Begay was asked to translate back and forth from English to DinÊ for the group. It wasn’t long before Myers approached her and asked her to coordinate at the Big Mountain food runs.

Begay’s hesitation to get involved with ANE actually didn’t have anything to do with ANE at all. “As a Navajo woman, I am really rooted in my own community and my Navajo

way of life,� Begay tells SFR. As a result, she said, she found the elders incredibly intimidating at first. “Some of these elders literally fought for their land here in Hard Rock and Big Mountain,� she says. “These are my relatives, and these are women that I looked up to all my years. It was really hard for me to get up there and start interpreting. I was afraid I was going to say something wrong. I felt that I was not worthy to stand before them.�

Soon, though, she felt the elders accepted her—and she grew to really trust Myers. “There’s no other group that I know of that actually really loves the people to do the kind of thing that ANE does,�

Begay tells SFR. “I can see the love [they] have for these people—for my people.�

Begay, 58, hasn’t lived her whole life on the reservation; she attended high school in California and went to college, and never intended to return home. But she and her husband both found jobs on the Navajo Nation and moved back to Hard Rock to raise their four children.

Even once back home, they did not live traditionally. But when Begay’s mother died 14 years ago, she left her 95 sheep to Begay’s oldest sister. Her sister didn’t want the sheep, so she gave them to her brother. Her brother didn’t want them either. “And at the beginning, I didn’t want the sheep,� Begay says with a laugh. “But my husband was raised in a very traditional family; they had more than 300 head of sheep all the time, so he was so used to having sheep.�

And so, the Begays changed their life plans. “It was really hard at the beginning,� Begay says, “because there’s no steady income that comes with it.� But, she says, “They grew on me. I started to like what I did with them. ... I got to know each one, their characteristics. I really got to know them almost as humans.�

I ask Begay if she would change anything about her life; she immediately says no. I ask what her favorite part of the

Nearly every aspect of Adopt-A-NativeElder is dictated by the needs of the elders and Diné tradition. When on a food run, female volunteers must wear long skirts.

The vehicle caravans are smudged with sage before every trip onto reservation land. Volunteers follow strict rules: You can bring an object for blessing, but don’t bring animal bones or owl feathers. When buying rugs, don’t haggle. The oldest male elder gets served lunch first. I overheard a volunteer refer to a structure depicted on a rug as a house. “It’s a hogan,” the weaver corrected her sharply, referring to the traditional Navajo dwelling. The volunteer apologized.

Beyond respect, the food runs are a far cry from tossing paper towels to a crowd for a photo opp; every aspect of the day is choreographed and planned like a grand party that’s also a well-oiled machine.

For first-time volunteers, the advice from veterans is generally: “Do what you’re told and don’t be late.” The swift pace of the days felt a little like getting pushed down a flight of stairs at first, but eventually became more like navigating white-water rapids.

The Chinle-based runs, which were held Oct. 4-6 this year, serve about 50 elders each day for three days in Many Farms, Piñon and Tsaile. There are three other regions to which ANE travels, and each region similarly contains three distribution sites. As of publication, ANE distributes medicine, supplies and 5 million pounds of food throughout the year to 557 elders among these

Navajo lifestyle is. She pauses.

“I don’t know,” she finally says slowly. “There’s so, so much that I love about what I do, that I don’t even think about what I don’t like about living here.”

12 sites. (In addition to the $225 annual cost to sponsor an elder, sponsors often send extra donations throughout the year.

Many volunteers on the trips get to see “their” elder on the runs; some have been sponsoring the same individual for more than a decade.)

Back in Salt Lake City, at ANE’s offices and warehouse, volunteers come in twice a week year-round to package and assemble food boxes and giveaways. The giveaways include things like pancake mix and syrup wrapped in ribbon, handmade quilts from a sewing club in Utah, flannel shirts and warm winter coats, bandanas tied in bows around bottles of shampoo.

All the new products are purchased in bulk by ANE Assistant Director CJ Robb, an effervescent young gentleman with whom many grandmas quickly became smitten. Once onsite, the giveaways are arranged into aesthetically pleasing displays by coordinator Ashley Lopez, a formerly Los Angeles-based event planner with a bright smile and sharp winged eyeliner. Many elders dress their finest for the food runs, the women dripping in turquoise and the men donning Stetsons and polished boots.

After the food and giveaways are distributed, it’s time for lunch—a huge affair complete with blue corn mush, mutton stew, taco salad, lemonade and fry bread.

Then, it’s time for the volunteers to shop.

Beginning with some of those first grandmothers’ requests for Myers to sell their rugs, the shopping aspect of every food run allows the elders to make cash the same way they have for generations: by selling their traditional art. Some of the elders have never worked conventional jobs, and have always provided for their families with weaving or

jewelry.

While my skeptical first impulse was to roll my eyes (does everything need to be a transaction?), I quickly understood: To give a grandmother a few crisp $20 bills and shake her hand over the rug I’d just purchased meant both that I was privileged enough to afford it, and that she could then afford a couple months of firewood—and she didn’t have to change her lifestyle to get any of it.

To extend the reach of ANE’s efforts and further support the elders’ traditional art, ANE also hosts its annual rug show and sale in Park City every November (this year, it was Nov. 9-11).

Throughout the year, Myers purchases rugs -Mary R Begay on every food run; (Navajo), Hard Rock, during shopping time, Arizona Myers walks around, cutting check after check for rugs from as many weavers as she can. The rugs are marked up a modest 20 percent at the show to cover overhead, but the show is not meant to be a money-maker; it’s just reimbursement for funds already distributed.

At Many Farms, Myers met with a weaver from whom she’d commissioned three rugs. The weaver showed her the work, and Myers thanked her.

After pleasantries, Myers asked: “How much?”

The young woman looked stunned.

“You ordered them,” she said hesitantly. “You tell me how much.”

The small group laughed, and Myers offered a fair price. The weaver acceptAt Many Farms, elders and volunteers line up in anticipation of “tarp,” a competitive but ultimately fun portion of food runs in which elders choose ed, and Myers signed the check. what donated clothing, accessories, yarn bundles and children’s supplies they’d like from thousands of pounds’ worth trucked in from Utah and

The Rez is changing. Some elders have electricity; some elder women wear pants.

Many more elders now speak English than when Myers began this work (though every food run still has a few necessary Diné translators).

But there is always more work to be done. In addition to the 557 elders on ANE’s books, more always show up at the distribution sites. “And I can give them a food box, and that’s something,” Myers says. “But they want the giveaways. They want a sponsor that comes to see them.

And that gets really challenging. It will always be that way; there’s no fix.”

But one question doesn’t leave my head: Plenty of people have seen the documentary Broken Rainbow, but none of the others founded a three-decadesrunning nonprofit with $1.3 million in annual revenue. What makes Myers different from everyone else?

Myers hesitates when I ask.

“That’s a spiritual question,” she says thoughtfully. She mentions Rose Hulligan who, along with Grace SmithYellowhammer, was one of Myers’ first connections to the Navajo Nation: “I remember the day that Rose told me that she was leaving Salt Lake and was going to the reservation to teach.” Hulligan would no longer be able to help Myers

with her small-scale pickup-truck runs.

“I said, ‘But what about the elders?’ and she said, ‘You’ll take care of them. … It’s who you are.’”

Beyond her own dedication to the elders, Myers says, is the community that’s embraced her work.

She refers to the early days, when she delivered supply boxes right to the elders’ homes. “An elder named Carol Blackhorse was very leery. And one of the first times I met her, she spit at me,” Myers recounts DOUG DICKEY FOR ADOPT-A-NATIVE-ELDER

stay safe. “People are always checking on each other,” Slivers says.

The food runs are a chance for the farflung (though sometimes not-that-far) people to see each other, to hold hands across the table, to check in, and—inevitably—to laugh together.

DOUG DICKEY FOR ADOPT-A-NATIVE-ELDER

In addition to providing food, cash and supplies, there’s a more intangible aspect of the food runs that is just as important, if not more important than the donations: the sense of community. Some elders travel from hours away down undeveloped roads; many live far from each other, out on the land.

Many Farms coordinator Darlene Slivers, who grew up on the reservation sometimes estranged from parts of her family, says that translating for ANE wasn’t her idea. More than a decade ago, she was volunteered by her aunt, and didn’t want to do it at first—but soon she enjoyed seeing the elders more. “I got to know a lot of elders, and some of them knew my mother when she was growing up; they told me, ‘I remember your mom when she was a young child, we used to visit one another.’”

She describes part of her family as living “way over there,” and how they considered their two lands very separate.

I ask how far away their house was from hers.

“About a mile and a half,” she says.

But what isn’t far in physical distance can feel like an endless expanse when residents are older. “Out here, it’s real difficult when they get sick or something happens to them,” Slivers says of the elders outside Chinle. “Some of them don’t have a cell phone. Their kids or their neighbors that live by them, they have cell phones and they can call the hospital, or they call the police department. But it takes time to have the ambulance get to them.” Many elders depend on daily or every-few-days visits from neighbors to

with a chuckle. “But as I got really close to her and her family, at one point, I was getting ready to leave her homeland … and she came out with her daughter. Her daughter says, ‘Grandma wants to know how long.’ … And it was this moment; realizing she was getting attached to me, but also didn’t want to be attached, because she didn’t know how long. … That is probably one of the hardest questions they ask me. ‘How long are you going to do this?

How long are you going to help us?’”

It was a loaded question. “I didn’t know at that time how many white people would come and make promises … and they never hear from them,” Myers says.

“There are so many abuses, and you don’t see yourself as a part of it. But you are, you know? You are.”

While on a food run, you have the evenings to yourself. The group typically gets back to Chinle between 4 and 6 pm, and there’s ample sunlight left to do some exploring in nearby Canyon de Chelly or take a drive to the Thunderbird Cafeteria for dinner. You’re usually tired, though— and as much as I wanted to stay in my hotel room, when the other women from Santa Fe wanted to go to the Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site one evening, the fear of missing out outweighed the exhaustion.

Once in Ganado, we poked around the trading post, running our hands over rugs and skulls. I wandered over to the visitor’s center to get a National Park System stamp for my passport.

The ranger behind the desk, a Diné man named Alvis, asked if I’d been to Hubbell before; I said no. He asked if I wanted to hear some history; I said yes. He referred to a map of the Four Corners under Plexiglas, pointing out the mountains in which his ancestors hid; the directions from which the Spanish came, then the Mexicans came, then the white men came. He circled his finger around Albuquerque, the southeastern corner of Dinétah. He described his people having come down out of the hills once the Spanish threat had passed. He traced the line to Bosque Redondo and back.

Soon it was time for the visitor’s center to close, and he told me I should come back when I had more time. I said I would, that it was a beautiful site—and then I expressed gratitude for having us in his home.

He smiled. “Of course,” he said, softly but warmly. “Everyone is welcome on our land.”

A new book aims to help web creatives have it all

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

A

cacia Carr started learning to code in HTML and CSS a little more than 20 years ago, when she was 16, for a summer job. She entered the field professionally a decade ago and since then, she says, “it’s been my passion every day and every night.”

A native New Mexican who grew up in Santa Fe and currently lives in Albuquerque, Carr runs her own agency with clients all over the world, but mostly focuses on those in New Mexico and California, where she also used to live. She’s seen many changes in the industry, with “the most striking” being the divide between web developers and designers. “There’s often a lot of friction between the two,” she says, “because they don’t speak the same language.”

Carr, on the other hand, is a unicorn: “that rare web creative that is both developer and designer.” As such, she wrote the book Uncommon Creative: The Handbook for Unicorns, which publishes this month, to try “to heal that divide between design and development.”

COURTESY AUTUMN BROOKS, 2018

Believe in Unicorns

Understanding the emergence of unicorns into creative web culture requires looking at the ways in which the industry, and its tools, have developed and changed.

Carr’s book provides a world wide web history that traces the technology from its inception as a networking tool for computer scientists to the current mobile-centric climate of responsive web design.

That history includes a drill-down on key developers, designers and companies, as well as a narrative that explicates the role Apple and the iPhone played in shifting creative work away from flash-based design to current content management systems such as WordPress. Those changes have certainly made creating websites more accessible for people, Carr notes, but also have added to the schism between designers and developers. It’s a divide she’s encountered repeatedly when taking over projects where communication between people with widely different skill bases broke down. As someone who practices integrated web design and development, Carr maintains the importance of understanding “the different components that are going into what you’re doing when it’s web-related because it’s all connected.”

The history Carr provides helps explain the current industry, but Carr also provided it, she says, because “there’s no standard for education in this field,” which means “not everyone is going to have the same awareness of what’s come before.”

For example, she’s encountered many people within the industry unfamiliar with Ada Lovelace, an early 19th-century mathematician considered today to have written the first computer algorithm.

“I didn’t even want to assume that anyone knew the base information,” Carr says, “so I went ahead and just kind of covered everything.” The result is a book she hopes will appeal to people at all stages of work in the web domain. “I feel like if you had no knowledge walking into the field, you could pick up this book and you get something going right away,” she says.

At the same time, she adds, the later chapters in particular will be helpful for people who have been in practice for years as they address areas of project management, hiring and technology selection that can help address some of the issues she’s seen.

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result,” she says, “but if you actually take a step back and look at your foundation—not just your technical and your creative foundation, but your business foundation—this book can help you with all of that.”

TECH

Hence, chapters that consider everything from the essentials of web design and development to finding clients, branding and project management are all presented in a colorful format that includes many additional resources.

While the book was intended to help web creatives at all stages of their careers, encouraging women in technology was Carr’s fundamental goal along with helping foster more recognition for their contributions. Lack of knowledge about web pioneers such as Lovelace is indicative of the general way in which women’s roles in technology have become marginalized. This is problematic for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is its impact on society as a whole.

“Many of our daily interactions are now controlled or monitored or somehow afaf fected by an algorithm,” Carr says, “and an algorithm is a reflection of a mindset and the mindset is reflectant of the person who creates the algorithm, so it’s basibasi cally, your digital culture comes from the culture of the people who make it.” Right now, she notes, “tech is at this point comprised of men in their mid-30s who are white or Asian, and of a very affluent background, which is a very limited perspective.”

Ultimately, she adds, she’s working toward helping create a vision of tech that is more inclusive, “where gender isn’t even mentioned; you could be nonbinary, you could be anybody, and it’s just going to be about the work you’re doing.”

WHAT’S PAST IS PROLOGUE Growing up in New Mexico, we get a little bit of boiled-down history in regards to the colonization of the area. As cultural educator and historian Jon Ghahate (Laguna and Zuni), who hosts an upcoming talk at SITE Santa Fe about the conquistador Juan de Oñate, can tell you, it’s rife with misinformation. “As Americans, we get indoctrinated in what America is,” he says. Ghahate posits that Oñate’s history was a complex one, but that he was ultimately very human and working from a sense of responsibility to the Spanish crown and church. “At the same time,” he adds, “they really did imprison the Native populations who were here.” Learn more at Ghahate’s lecture alongside marriage and family therapist Lee Swanson, who delves into the effects of trauma.

Fibrous Fall Fiber Fiesta weaves the fun One might be forgiven for hearing of an event based in fiber arts and jumping to thoughts of old ladies knitting, but there’s a rich history and unmistakable artistry to be found at the annual event from the Española Valley Fiber Arts Center that would make that impulse incorrect. This isn’t just about beautiful fiber arts—it’s about kicking off your holiday shopping and indulging in an ancient evolving art form.

The nonprofit is perhaps best known as the Española-based retail mart and educational space, but when it takes over the Scottish Rite Temple each year, the options and possibilities expand.

“In New Mexico there used to be more yarn shops, but they’ve been replaced, inevitably, sadly, by the internet,” center director April Jouse tells SFR. “But we have a leg up, because when we incorporated back in 1997, it was with a strong mission point to support the education of fiber arts.”

Jouse, who also teaches a beginner’s weaving class at the center, says that on a national scale, there’s not much like what it’s doing or its annual festival.

“One of the points when we jury the artists into the show is that we aim for a diversity of items,” she says. “You ex-

pect to find hats and scarves, and there are artists who’ll have those, no question about it—but we also, through our application process, look for contemporary fiber artists in our area. You’ll find beautiful works to go up on the wall, pieces for your home and, I would say, fashion garments that are more on the contemporary side.”

And while the bulk of the booths will be helmed by New Mexicans, a few outof-staters from Colorado and Wisconsin join their ranks to peddle wares. Catch a ticketed silent auction on Friday night ($10) with over 50 items ranging from fiber goods and restaurant bucks to tickets for local experiences. Jouse describes the offerings as “exceptional.”

“There are not that many nonprofits that are able to focus on fiber arts like we are,” Jouse adds. “Our class attendance grows, our retail numbers grow—we have a really good team who are dedicated to supporting the mission year after year.”

COURTESY DAVID BERKELEY

MUSIC

Come Together David Berkeley writes a new kind of love song for a country divided

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

I

t is tempting to wait it out in times of turmoil and hope for the best. There are days when just trying to make rent seems like a good enough excuse to not open the newspaper and read the latest body count of today’s mass shooting or to hear what new spin the two major political parties of the country have found to denigrate each other.

In the sphere of art, the equivalent behavior would be for artists to just do what they always have done. Do you like to paint landscapes? Great, enjoy painting landscapes and pay no mind to the political battleground that threatens the very vistas you want to capture on canvas.

But for some, to continue with what you have always done is not an option due to some personal conflict set against turning in the same homework, getting a passing grade and sitting back down.

David Berkeley is conflicted in just that way. While his new material would have likely been a worthwhile listen regardless of its lyrical content, there is something especially charged about his recently released EP, The Faded Red and Blue. If it had been a collection of five love songs—and it is, in a way—there would be no compelling argument that Berkeley is guilty of any moral error. But according to Berkeley, he just would not have felt right about going ahead with a busi-

David Berkeley’s out to unite us all with his new recordings.

That song to me is like a prayer.

Writing it felt that way too. ... I haven’t had that experience as a songwriter exactly like that before.

-David Berkeley

ness-as-usual attitude given the current state of affairs in the United States.

“I’m a cult songwriter. I don’t have a huge following, and I mostly write love songs,” Berkeley tells SFR. “But in these past years it’s felt irresponsible to do that exactly, but I don’t want to abandon the project of bringing beauty into the world.

That’s the line I was trying to find and draw—how can you address this stuff and still make something that’s beautiful?”

Berkeley solves the problem with deft songwriting in line with a long career of blending narrative with song. While the material is heavy, addressing not just political discourse but also topics such as gun violence on “Throw Down a Line,” it still occupies space with beauty and grace. Melodically, there is plenty of light to shine through, though he’s no stranger to minor-key moping, and Berkeley often communicates his pain and anger with surprisingly upbeat presentation.

And if the goal is to bring beauty into the world, The Faded Red and Blue reaches it.

The secret seems to come from Berkeley’s approach in trying to address America’s citizenry as a whole. While he described his political beliefs as left-leaning, he attempts to sidestep the act of pointing fingers by instead writing about what he loves about this country and how it might improve. The final track, “This Be Dear to Me,” is what Berkeley describes as a love song. It lists beautiful elements of American life that transcend the violent, ugly quarreling to which many of us have grown accustomed.

“We’re going to maybe work our way out of this mess by focusing on the positives instead of all the shit we’re upset about,” Berkeley explains. “I want to start remembering the things I love and care about. That song to me is like a prayer.

Writing it felt that way too, it felt kind of like praying. I haven’t had that experience as a songwriter exactly like that before.”

It’s a clever trick, a sort of benevolently populist approach to complex problems that seems to urge listeners toward greater unity rather than division. There is a reason the collection is named The Faded Red and Blue—and it’s not commentary on the flag, but rather the partisanship of a country that seems so bent toward disaster.

“Even the people I agree with politically can look pretty ugly sometimes when arguing our side,” he tells SFR. “It’s important for us to remember that and be compassionate and generous, not just ask them to be more considerate.”

The complexity of the songs overall outclasses any phrasing as simplistic as “us versus them,” and while the EP may not give any definitive answers for where we go from here, it’s inspiring to hear someone in the thick of trying to figure it out rather than ignoring it.

Aaron Harrington’s Museum of Interactive Art is dying for you to, well, interact.

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

I

’m being transported into another dimension by a simple everyday mirror. From a side room off the Shidoni bronze foundry in Tesuque, I stare into its curved surface as the reflection of the cement floor casts itself outward into the third dimension like a hologram. I can almost touch it; I am disoriented; I might have changed forever in there.

It’s one of a number of pieces in local artist Aaron Harrington’s new Museum of Interactive Art, a long-percolating hybrid installation/admission-based museum-esque experience. Nearby is a tinfoil mask station and a rusty metal poetry generator made from a series of flippable images of mainstream, brand-name packaging. Toward the entrance lies Harrington’s layer-able tesseract box, into which users can slide large photographs of everyday ephemera or earthly delights and frame them with a circle of words to create bizarre phrases. A table of magnetized handles sits kitty-corner from the box—a statement, Harrington says, about how one small thing affects another; an overhead projector hums in the corner,

waiting for oversized psychedelic slides to light up a Lycra screen. A wall of custom-made magnets sits across the room, ready to be played with.

Think of the Museum of Interactive Art as existing somewhere between Santa Fe’s arts market and San Francisco’s Exploratorium, but in a much smaller space and with a much smaller budget.

This, of course, is only the very beginning, and Harrington says the installation is a bit like an experiment unto itself.

“I have a much bigger view—for one, in Santa Fe alone, what would a billiondollar art experience economy look like?” he says. “What I’m imagining is something like the resorts of Orlando, Florida, but without the plastic kitschy utopian thing.

Imagine a Santa Fe where Meow Wolf is just one attraction within a theme park, and where the work is intellectually challenging.”

At first blush, it seems idealistic, and there is no mistaking a certain slappedtogether feeling from the projects. But we’ve also seen the experiential art market explode in recent years, particularly on a local level, and everything must start somewhere—says the guy who attended any number of early Meow Wolf events

37th Annual

PLACITAS HOLIDAY

in a crummy warehouse in the Triangle District.

“It’s almost a survival tactic for Santa Fe to move from art-as-commodity to artas-experience,” Harrington explains.

“Everyone who buys art in Santa Fe is going to die in the next two decades.”

This, too, might sound strange or perhaps even morbidly glib, but Harrington means no disrespect. Besides, the days of the wealthy collector are rapidly diminishing at the prospects of a shrinking middle class and a generation of consumer that eschews the purchase of homes, cars and art in favor of Airbnb-ing, Uber-ing and experiencing. In other words, the upand-comers don’t want to own, they want to do, and the purveyors of art will either tweak and evolve their models or become destined for the ash heap of history.

And Harrington is as good a shepherd as any. He’s done design work for local businesses, designed interactive exhibits for the Painted Universe in Ithaca, New York, and even works as a photographic creator of virtual tours for corporations (think Google Street View, but for inside buildings). A native Santa Fean, Harrington picked up an art degree from Hampshire College in Massachusetts, a school he says

heaped freedom on its students so long as they were pitching and creating quality work. He interned with local artists as well, like printmaker Ron Pokrasso, and he has dabbled in welding, woodwork, blacksmithing and more. Harrington is just now able to realize his vision thanks, in part, to Shidoni President and CEO Scott Hicks, who has allowed Harrington freedom and provides the space for a mere pittance.

But the Museum of Interactive Art is not a foregone conclusion, and Harrington still has much to prove. Its location in Tesuque feels like a trek despite only requiring a 15-minute drive, and there’s still a lot of work to do in the space itself. This is a pilot program, no doubt, but assuming he draws in healthy visitor numbers, it’s also a moment we potentially all look back on and realize was special. If Harrington can make it work, it’ll grow under his vision.

“At first I thought I should look for other artists, but I have lists and lists of ideas for interactive exhibits,” Harrington says.

“I may hire fabricators, but I have so many ideas I could fill theme parks.”

For now, don’t expect the second coming of your precious Meow Wolf, and don’t head to the Museum of Interactive Art if you’re expecting to be utterly blown away (read: If you have ludicrous expectations).

As it stands, this is about support for an independent artist with ideas that feel silly at first glance but that are surprisingly deep and impressive the more you interact with them. At $5 a pop (and free for kids under 10), it’s quite affordable, too, and we’re mostly interested to see what Harrington might cook up if the right numbers help him make the show more permanent.

“The art itself experiences the viewer and changes as a result,” Harrington adds.

“That’s how you know you experienced something—it changed in some way. This art experiences back.”

THE CALENDAR with Bill Stevenson

COURTESY FACEBOOK

We don’t delve into Albuquerque very often, but when a band like Descendents comes through (7 pm Friday Nov. 16. $27. Sunshine Theater, 120 Central Ave. SW, Albuquerque, 505-764-0249), we throw caution to the wind. It’s been 36 years since the release of seminal punk album Milo Goes to College, which makes the excellence of 2016’s Hypercaffium Spazzinate all the more impressive. The band’s been ramping up the tours in the wake of that record, and visits New Mexico for the first time in who knows how many years. We caught up with drummer Bill Stevenson to see what’s what, and we swear we only gushed a little bit. (Alex De Vore) Descendents has been touring pretty hard for a couple years now. How’s it feeling to be back into it so regularly?

It’s comfortable. We do it often enough to where we can be good at it, but not so often that it becomes a grind or a job. This kind of happy medium we found, it makes it so when we got off the plane we’re happy to see each other. We ask each other about the kids, ask about what kind of chile Karl [Alvarez] is growing in his garden. I think the only reason we’re still together after 40 years is just that we try to not overexpose ourselves to each other, because that’s no fun.

Are the new songs playing well with the older songs?

Surprisingly well. Not meaning that the new album shouldn’t be received well, but meaning that so often, a band’s later albums are kind of pushed to the side. You see it happen with almost every band, so the fact we released a record that people enjoy—and a lot of our fans are saying it’s in their top two or three of their favorite albums of ours—that’s really an unexpected surprise that people really still care. I know as a fan, I don’t want to hear the 10th record by some band I’m into. I mean, it’s not that I don’t want to hear it, but you know what I mean.

What’s in the future for Descendents?

We’re heading toward recording a new record.

What I was doing before you called was reviewing my drum parts. Today I’m working on five of Milo [Aukerman’s] songs. In our band, each guy writes the songs, and I have a little small studio in my basement where I’ve been playing along with his demos. In three weeks I’ll maybe record drums on 10 or 15 songs. Some of the guys have a lot of songs ready, but ... for some reason, mine always come at the last minute. We don’t have a window, we kind of intentionally never have one. We start recording when we’ve got the makings of a ton of good songs. We don’t put any artificial stress on that. There’s no pressure for us or this, what is this, a two-month album cycle? That’s for new bands. I think it’s for marketers, really.

ACTING OUT It’s All in the Casting

Mamet, a master of nuance and relationship, pens scripts that don’t always say much on the page. Landing the lines is all in delivery and tone. Thus, casting a Mamet play is a surgical process. The characters and lines introduced to us here are absolutely worth taking in, because hey, it’s Mamet—and thankfully the script is there to sail us though.

THE SHAWL AND THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE 7:30 pm Thursday-Saturday, Nov. 15-17; 3 pm Sunday Nov. 18. $22.

Is anything more surgical, then, than Mamet? I’d argue yes.

While at Rumors at Los Alamos Little Theatre, I said to my companion, “Farce has got to be the hardest form of theater.”

But then I corrected myself: “No; farce has got to be the hardest form of theater to cast. If your actors naturally have the timing right, it’s fun.”

Set in the home of a wealthy Hudson Valley couple, eight guests arrive over the course of the evening to find the host shot, his wife missing and the dinner still raw and sitting out on the counter. The reconstruction of what must have happened and the dynamics between the

BRENDA LYNN BYNUM

Oasis Theatre Company closes an hour-long double-header of David Mamet one-acts this weekend, and I have no complaints about the stories (if you could call them that; Mamet’s bad at plots) in The Shawl and The Sanctity of Marriage.

Casting these productions can be hard, though. It’s a huge leap of faith to start in a new city where you don’t know the pool of actors, to bust out the gate with canonical works (as Oasis did in 2017, to much success). The scripts are going to hold, that’s for sure. It’s whether the actors will that’s the question.

It’s not that I’m not impressed by this production; it’s that they just fall a little short of what I’m used to from Oasis.

(Then again, we’ve been spoiled.)

The Shawl, which runs about 45 minutes, is the story of John (Marty Madden), a struggling psychic who has found in Miss A (Lisa Foster) an easy mark. She has money, and he needs that money.

Complicating things is Charles (Tristan Van Cleave), a young man whom John has taken on/taken in/taken over as an assistant, lover and trainee.

Madden, as ever, has a bridge to sell us, and I’ll take four. He is consistently the most energetic on the stage, and his mix of desperate con man and struggling human being is endearing rather than pathetic. The psychic’s lines draw chuckles from the audience; a passionate and breathy, “I see blood—a fall— when you were young—and you bear the scar still!” he exclaims. (Yes. That’s everyone.) But Miss A seems enthralled.

It’s hard to tell, though, whether Madden is steamrolling the others onstage or whether they need to step it up.

Foster’s Miss A can be forgiven, perhaps, because the whole point of her character is that she’s being steamrolled—but she emerges mid-play as more fierce than expected, which is nice.

Van Cleave’s Charles lacked the slimy motivation we needed from such an odd character. He’s a bit fidgety and unsure, but not in the tweaked-out way Charles should be; this seems more like a lack of concentration. Particularly hard to buy was Charles making big asks of John without looking at him; a strange bit of direction if that’s what it was, or a strange character choice on the part of Van Cleave. If Charles were a stronger, more defiant portrayal, I could have bought it, but he’s too soft-spoken and wishy-washy to justify odd choices. Van Cleave’s jump here, then, to a straightman part (from more jaunty roles in The Normal Heart and the Playhouse’s Fiesta Melodrama) was a stumble.

couples lead the ridiculous action.

It’s yet another entry in the many-doors category of comedy (think Noises Off), though it depends less on mistaken identity than it does on the characters all being pieces of shit who lie constantly, many of whom have some kind of affliction—burned hands, whiplash—that make for a distinctly odd stage presentation. (Not to mention the costumes.

They’re amazing. Hats off to designer Pam Justice.)

My unscientific calculations say that actors’ timing, on a scale of one to 10, needs to be at about a consistent eight to really pull off a fast-paced farce like this one by Neil Simon. That’s a big requirement, particularly in a small town like Los Alamos. As it were, I’m pleased to report that these actors, for the most part, do it right. I’ve seen my fair share of community theater that drops the ball, but it stays mostly aloft here, to the pleasure of the audience.

If my aforementioned non-scientific calculations hold true, I’d say most of these actors hold steady at a solid eight throughout the show. A favorite performance comes from Holly Robinson’s Claire Ganz, a tiny blond snark-bag full of eye rolls and sarcastic quips. A very different but no less amusing turn is Tami Martinson’s Cookie Cusack, a slightly daft cooking show host whose facial expressions recall a bewildered guinea pig in the midst of a hurricane. Much of the cast has their timing perfect, particularly Ian Foti-Landis as Lenny Ganz.

As couples, each pair had great chemistry (also important and often a crapshoot). The Best Worst Couple Award goes to Thomas Graves as Glenn Cooper and Cindy Hines as his wife Cassie; Glenn is running for office and Cassie is his ever-suffering (and ever-insufferable) wife, and I could not imagine a pair that physically looks more like aspiring politician-and-wife. Their love-hate relationship is cringey and charming and you love to hate them. As it were, all the actors really looked like the archetypal characters they portrayed, which was delightful and uncanny.

Occasionally, Rumors does smack a bit of community theater, but I mean—that’s OK. It is community theater. For the price and for the convenience, it’s probably your surest bet for chuckles at live theater this autumn.

RUMORS

Psychics prey on all kinds of folks in The Shawl—but turns out, the con man is human too.

7:30 pm Friday and Saturday Nov. 17 and 18. $12-$15.

Edible Alchemy This year’s Restaurant Guide showcases a number of good-and-good-for-you eateries, and Edible Alchemy is a fantastic option if you’re looking for food that makes you feel healthy instead of guiltridden. Owner Lyra Barron has crafted an organic, vegan, gluten- and sugar-free menu that’s missing nothing when it comes to taste. The bright café tucked away on Early Street near Whole Foods picked an unconventional name, but it’s spot-on.

Six different smoothies (all $9) are featured on the menu and served ice-cold. The Dragon Blossom is a magenta concoction of pitaya (cactus fruit), mango, raspberry, probiotics, orange zest and ashwagandha to boost brain function. Even if you aren’t particularly concerned about your brain, it’s yummy. Breakfast is served until close, with a tofu scramble ($12) and avocado toast ($7) as options.

Lunch will generally set you back $13 and the mole veggie burger is a messy, incredibly flavorful option that comes alongside a huge salad with house-made dressing. If there’s any room left—or even if there isn’t—the smart, friendly staff makes delicious baked goods including wild blueberry pie ($7) and homemade vegan ice cream ($3). Feel good, eat good. (Matt Grubs)

Izanami An elegant, izakaya-style restaurant situated next to its mothership (the calming, otherworldly Japanese spa Ten Thousand Waves), Izanami offers a whole new culinary approach to the Santa Fe fine dining scene. Not only does the menu completely eschew any sushi or fish-based dishes, focusing instead on organic and sustainably raised pork, chicken and wagyu beef, but owner Deborah Fleig and business partner Linda Tetrault operate a sake import and distribution company, which allows them to curate an excellent list of more than 50 different high-quality craft sakes. Their list demonstrates a wide variety of sake styles, from the unpasteurized, richly flavored namazake to the elegant, high-toned junmai daiginjos. Try the “soma no tengu” (“forest spirit”) namazake ($14 a glass), made in a hands-off, low-intervention style, resulting in a lightly cloudy beverage with subtle nutty and earthy flavors. As for the small plates, the kakuni ($18), comprised of pork belly served with prickly pear and grilled peaches, was among our faves. It makes a great complement to the kushiage ($10), which are panko-crumb-encrusted strips of avocado and zucchini, and the kakiage corn fritters ($10), served with fresh wasabi grated off the root. All in all, Izanami makes for an excellent destination after a day of sauna and meditation. What an experience!

(Mary Francis Cheeseman)

La Choza A restaurant can’t exist as La Choza has if it isn’t consistently at the top of its game, but the sister restaurant to The Shed (“choza” is Spanish for “shed,” by the way) has been there since it opened in 1983. Of course, in the old days, The Shed was the more popular haunt, but it’s rare not to find a sizable wait at La Choza these days, which means the growing New Mexican joint is at the top of many locals’ lists. It’s that chile, which many agree is the best in town, and a recipe that owners from the Carswell family have presided over for decades, but with more contemporary items like fish tacos ($13.25-$19), unbelievably decadent desserts like the mocha cake ($4.25) and all the popular New Mexico items such as enchiladas, burritos, tamales y más ($11.25-$17.25), La Choza has also proven a stellar option for anyone looking for a solid meal.

Throw in a full bar with myriad margarita options ($7.75-$13) and appetizers, soups and salads, and it’s definitely worth that 90-minute wait on a cold winter’s eve. We recommend the combo plate with enchiladas, tamales and an over-easy egg on top ($12.50-$17.75). Pair with the silver coin margarita ($10.50) and some of the house-made chips and guac, and you’ve really got a party going.

A GUIDE to Thanksgiving for Procrastinators

g

w ro

Let local restaurants and shops do all the work—because you probably already have enough going on

tarian and vegan option, which substitute a sliced mushroom loaf in place of turkey. Find also pre-made side dishes priced at $9.99 a pound, such as green chile and butternut squash enchiladas, calabacitas and vegan wild rice and piñon-crusted green beans. Pre-ordered holiday offerings at the co-op are available until Monday Nov. 19.

But if you’re hard-pressed at the last minute to come up with the means to make your meal, trusty Whole Foods Market (753 Cerrillos Road, 992-1700) takes Thanksgiving orders right up until Tuesday Nov 20. Find two turkey options, a conventionally styled at $2.49 a pound, and a hormone- and antibiotic-free organic option for $3.49 a pound. But be forewarned: Braving the parking lot during the holiday rush is not for the faint of heart.

For keeping it as local as possible, the seasonal Tuesday edition of the Santa Fe Farmers Market (1607 Paseo de Peralta, 983-4098) comes to an official close on Nov. 20, marking a perfect time to pick up any last-minute farm-fresh pumpkins or squash,

apple cider, local honey, ristras and a large selection of meats, produce and cheeses from neighboring farms. Get your locavore supplies from 8 am-1 pm that day.

Finally, for desserts, of course Chocolate Maven (821 W San Mateo Road, 984-1980) boasts a wide array of sugary snacks, from a caramel chocolate pecan pie ($17), a flaky green chile spiced apple pie ($24) and an assortment of croissants, muffins and rolls. They request you order at least 24 hours in advance, and the earlier the better to preserve everyone’s sanity—and if you want to pick up even as late as Thursday morning, they’ll be there, either with your pre-ordered pie or a stack of take-away goodies ready for the procrastinators.

Freshly baked items are also available at Dolina Bakery & Café (402 N Guadalupe St., 982-9394) and include a shaker lemon pie filled with zingy Meyer lem lemon-flavored filling ($36) and a sour cream coffee cake with cinnamon spiced pecans ($25). You need to order a pie at least a day in advance, and they’re closed Thursday, so decide by Tuesday what you would like.

For the gluten-free and vegan looking to score some safe-space styled holiday options, local pop-up bakery Drift and Porter is scheduled to ply their pastries Porter from 10 am-4 pm on Sunday Nov. 18 at the Railyard Artisan Market (Farmers Per Market Pavilion, 1607 Paseo de Per577-4809) with tasty jewel-like alta, 577-4809) treats priced according to size from $6 to $10, including mini apple pies and fritters, chocolate whoopie pies with pumpkin buttercream and cinnamon buns.

But whatever your preferences, Thanksgiving in Santa Fe promises to fully deliver on flavor.

hanksgiving kicks off a season of holiday delights. Ski Santa Fe opens its slopes promptly at 9 am on Thursday Nov. 22, providing the option to burn some serious calories before feasting. On Friday Nov. 23, the Plaza’s Christmas lights are fired up, marking the official beginning of Santa Fe’s winter festivities. And for the epicure with a lazy streak, there’s a lot to be thankful for, such as a food scene replete with delicious local options within easy reach.

If you feel like outsourcing the cooking part of the holiday, there’s a bounty of top restaurants offering Thanksgiving menus. In addition to a three-course prix fixe menu, La Casa Sena (125 E Palace Ave., 988-9232) offers a complete meal takeout service. Choose from three dinner menus that serve eight to 10 people, each featuring a different entree course.

For $179.99, nosh on a red chile-glazed turkey, for $199.99 the restaurant offers a roasted Colorado bone-in lamb leg, and for $194.99 you can get half lamb, half turkey. But act fast, because you have to order

by Nov. 17. Sides include truffle-infused mashed potatoes, green chile gravy and blue cornbread stuffing. Or make a reservation to visit in person and, for $75 a head, gorge on herb-roasted free-range turkey, smoked duck breast or grilled Scottish salmon. But of course, get on that too, because they were nearly at capacity on Monday.

Another fabulous experience awaits at El Nido (1577 Bishops Lodge Road, Tesuque, 954-1272),, which offers a $60 three-course prix fixe that includes a vegetarian entrée of butternut squash ravioli

with sage brown butter and caramelized walnuts, plus the more classic offerings of herb roasted turkey and braised lamb shank. There’s plenty of pumpkin to go around, too, including a soup course, gelato and pie. Make that reservation STAT! For home cooks scouring for the right raw materials at the last minute, local grocery stores have sweet Thanksgiving deals as well. At Kaune’s (511 Old Santa Fe Trail, 982-2629), order a cage-free turkey at $2.69 a pound, sourced from Amish farms in Minnesota. Friday Nov. 16 is the cutoff date to order, but the deli offers plenty of prepared meats, sides and salads to otherwise create a meal.

If you’re feeling especially lazy, most stores feature entire pre-made meals, priced according to however many they feed. Try the Thanksgiving plate specials for $17.99 a person at La Montañita Co-op (913 W Alameda St., 984-2852), which feature Mary’s Free Range Turkey from Pitman Farms in California, plus mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, maple glazed yams, green beans and rolls. There’s also a vege-

Overlord Review Behind enemy—and zombie—lines

MOVIES

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

We’ve seen plenty of media that recreates D-Day from the perspective of the storming of Normandy, but in Overlord, from director Julius Avery (Son of a Gun) and producer JJ Abrams, we follow soldiers behind enemy lines who are tasked with taking out a radio tower deep within a small village in the French countryside.

The setup is simple enough, but how the film plays out is anything but. While we may have grown accustomed to brutally realistic depictions of World War II in film and video games, Overlord ups the ante considerably by phasing between authentic period drama, thrill-a-minute action flick and zombies—yeah, zombies!

See, when American soldiers Boyce (Fences’ Jovan Adepo) and Ford (Wyatt Russell, Ingrid Goes West) wind up separated from their battalion and in the company of a young French woman (Mathilde Ollivier), they soon learn the Nazis have been using a nearby church not only for communications, but as an experimental lab dabbling in a serum that gifts super strength, immortality and even revival from death to unwitting guinea pigs.

Side effects include mild to extreme zombification, however, and as anyone who has picked up a Call of Duty or Wolfenstein video game in the last few years can tell you, there’s not a lot worse than Nazi zombies.

7 + EXCITING

BLEND OF STYLES; ACTION AND HORROR - BLAND CHARACTERS; SOMETIMES ABSURD

Gore ensues in a very major way. Like, there’s so much gore, but Avery manages to tap into his disparate genres in such a seamless way that we wonder why we haven’t seen such a hybrid film before. Oh sure, some of the soldiers are a bit cookie-cutter, from the Italian-American who cracks wise and tough to the young Jewish man with a particular vested interest in taking down Hitler; the evil Nazi doctor looks and acts exactly as you might imagine were you to picture an evil Nazi doctor. But these tropes wind up forgivable and fade into the background in place of the horror-style elements. Throw in a particularly sadistic SS officer for a villain, an adorable French kid to raise the stakes and any number of tense chase scenes in catacomb tunnels, atmospheric jumpscares and one of the most well-paced and surpris-

ing narratives of the year, and Overlord gracefully sidesteps ridiculousness for just plain fun.

Make no mistake, Overlord is as video-gamey as it gets, but given the medium’s growing status as economic juggernaut—and its evolution into genuine art form—that’s not such a bad thing. It’s exhilarating, actually, and throws audiences directly into the fray for some of the most well-choreographed fight scenes and gut-wrenching scares we’ve seen in some time, not to mention the undead. Don’t take your kids (we really mean it), but don’t write it off; Overlord is wild fun throughout.

+ MALEK IS GREAT; THE MUSIC, - REDUCTIVE AND SIMPLIFIED; DUMB MIKE MYERS JOKE

After years in limbo, Bohemian Rhapsody, the story of Queen, has finally hit theaters after the loss of Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury and the famous firing of director Bryan Singer.

And it’s fine as biopics go, though absolutely problematic the more you peel back the veneer.

The probably mostly already-known story of Queen follows the legendary rock band from meager beginnings to parade of hits, label interference, interpersonal strife and love and family issues—right up to the much-beloved 1985 LiveAid concert, dubbed by many as one of the finest performances by a rock act of all time; some photos and text-crawling fills in a handful of gaps thereafter. Rami Malek is fantastic as Mercury, however, all bluster and melodrama hiding a palpable self-loathing and sexual confusion.

It’s unfortunate, then, that his embodiment of Mercury helps tell only a half-tale.

Because while we’re busy tapping our toes and elbowing our pals in the theater because we totally know that song, Rhapsody inconveniently reduces Mercury, his queerness and his Parsi

roots down to a couple throwaway scenes or oversimplified dialog in favor of proving how close the band was, how innovative they were in the studio, how ahead of their time they were and how much everyone loved them. But we already knew that, didn’t we?

Yes, we get a line about Mercury’s bisexuality here or the evidence of his well-known hedonism there, but these moments are few and fleeting.

We’re told Mercury was lonely even in crowds; we’re front and center for his coming-out to lifelong friend Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton); we see the pressures of fame piling on though unsurprisingly not solving problems—but we never truly get into their consequences, nor do we pick up any particularly new information about Mercury’s Parsi ethnicity or how he must have struggled coming to grips with his queerness. How about that scene in the rain with “Under Pressure” piping in from the background, though? Feels good!

Right up until it doesn’t. But the end of the feel-goods doesn’t come from the knowledge that Mercury contracted AIDS and died, never really reconnected with his family, that the reunion of the band was businesslike or that he never felt OK when he wasn’t onstage; it comes instead from realizing that a mainstream film had a chance to really dial up the representation and CONTINUED ON PAGE 41

attempt to get us into the head of the finest voice in rock ‘n’ roll history, but chose musical montage or silly Mike Meyers jokes (seriously) time and time again instead. This is disappointing in a way that even Malek’s tremendous performance—and perfectly fine turns from most of the rest of the cast—can’t quite make up for. We must instead take solace in how Bohemian Rhapsody might introduce a new generation to Queen’s music, because it really was fantastic—no matter how much it can’t represent the real core of the story.

(Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.

HALLOWEEN

+ 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. It’s just as well, though, and Halloween certainly proves a

ABOVE: Ryan Gosling is the first man on the moon in the aptly-titled First Man. BELOW: Halloween, where all the faces are made of pixels. Jay kay. But there certainly is a whole lot of stabbing.

+ 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

You may be thinking The Old Man & the Gun has been in theaters forever, and it has. But it’s also supposedly Robert Redford’s last movie ever, so, like, that’s a big deal, probably. 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.

THE OLD MAN & THE GUN

+ 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, 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 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.

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 and kind of kickass—be it in moments wherein the pair sprints up buildings or climbs space-bound 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.

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).

TEMPERAMENT: MIDGE is very social and playful. If not adopted with a sibling, she should be adopted into a home with another kitten or young cat to play with.

AGE: born approx.

Please call today and arrange an interview @ (505) 557-5793

Meet Bojack! This handsome boy currently weighs about 35 pounds and we think he’ll reach around 65-75 pounds full grown. He found his way to our shelter as a stray and is more than ready to have a family of his own. He is 7 months old, which is a great age for a new companion. An ideal day for Bojack would include play time with his favorite person, a walk through the city or mountains, and of course, treats! If you have another dog at home you’re more than welcome to bring them in for a Meet n’ Greet with this gentleman!

Sancho is an 8 year old cat who recently arrived at the shelter. He is about 12 pounds which seems to be a healthy weight for him. As is common with all-white cats it appears that Sancho has some difficulty with hearing and vision. He responds to the sound of his kennel opening which is nice for us here so we don’t surprise him when we say hello.

We have been respectful of his condition and in making sure that he knows we are here by letting him sniff us before we start petting him. We think someone patient enough to work with his condition would be the best placement for him.

Prescilla Rumero April 3, 1927-October 12, 2018

Prescilla Rumero was born to Vidal and Rosario Trujillo on April 3, 1927. At the end of her life when she went to be with the Lord, she left behind five children: Mary Rascon, Betty Lou Rose Lujan (a beloved Certified Nursing Assistant for Del Corazon Hospice), Brenda Rael, and Vicky and Gilbert Trujillo.

Daughter Flora Lopez had preceded her in death.

A kind and generous mother, Prescilla always greeted her children with a warm smile followed by the question: “Have you eaten?” Regardless of their response, Prescilla was already in the kitchen preparing goody bags for the drive home along with extras for the next day.

A fabulous cook proclaimed by friends and family alike, she also enjoyed dining out. But “Food always tasted better at Mom’s.”

In addition to the pleasure of admiring her garden growing, she enjoyed watching the activities of the humming birds. And Prescilla loved to shop. One could regularly find her at the mall. Yet nothing was more important to Prescilla than her faith. She prayed the rosary daily and taught her children to be good to themselves, love each other, and always to be there. “Remember, you are Number One.” At a time when the dangers of smoking were not fully understood, Prescilla had been a smoker.

Hospice delivered end-of-life care to Prescilla in her home. Lung cancer brought her life to a close on October 12th of this year. Every day Prescilla is missed by her loved ones and friends.

Edward Ray Wright Sr.

505-753-8662

March 12, 1924-August 4, 2018 Edward Ray Wright Sr was a man of true integrity. Ray, as he preferred to be called, was born on March 12, 1924 in Manilla, Arkansas. A proud American who honorably served in the Navy during WWII, Ray loved to tell stories of his Navy adventures to anyone with a listening ear.

At the time of his passing on August 4th of this year, Ray was survived by his son Edward R. Wright Jr., daughter Pam (a nurse with Del Corazon Hospice), her husband Joe Archer, three granddaughters and two great granddaughters in addition to an unofficial member of his family, 96 year old Gene Scoggins, a dear friend from his childhood.

Ray was preceded in death by Mildred, his wife of 70 years, brother James, and their parents Lily and Monroe Wright.

Some of Ray’s favorite past times included gardening, hunting, and riding 4 wheelers well into his nineties. Always positive, Ray loved helping others.

A supportive father his children could depend on, Ray actively participated with Pam in Camp Fire Girls as well as with son Edward in the Boy Scouts. He sincerely believed in encouraging his children to be the best at whatever they wanted to be.

evalleyshelter.org • petango.com/espanola Sweet Brava is nothing less than adorable!

She wiggles her bottom up to the front of her kennel to receive love from anyone willing to give. She came in as a stray with some rough looking skin but we knew just what we were looking at. Brava has Demodex Mange which isn’t contagious so although it looks rough right now this girl will be back to her beautiful blue coat in a matter of weeks. She is great with people. Does great on a leash and loves her walks. She is about one year old. Stop by today and meet this darling — she’d love to find a home.

Otis is a sweet boy with a little bit of fear behind his beautiful eyes. He is part of a litter of puppies that was born in a rural area and received little socialization as they were growing. A kind Samaritan was able to catch them and bring them to our care where we’ve been working on gaining their trust and showing them that humans aren’t so bad. This puppy would thrive in a home with a touch of extra sweetness, affection and enough patience to continue to work on socializing his little soul.

He is about three months old.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Interior designer Dorothy Draper said she wished there were a single word that meant “exciting, frightfully important, irreplaceable, deeply satisfying, basic, and thrilling, all at once.” I wonder if such a word exists in the Chamicuro language spoken by a few Peruvians or the Sarsi tongue spoken by the Tsuu T’ina tribe in Alberta, Canada. In any case, I’m pleased to report that for the next few weeks, many of you Aries people will embody and express that rich blend of qualities. I have coined a new word to capture it: tremblissimo.
