I was appalled by Alex De Vore’s cynical celebration of the closing of Hastings. I’ve read SFR for 16 years, and I think this marks a new level of snarkiness for the paper. While I wholeheartedly agree that Hastings has devolved into a weird hodgepodge of wares, we should never rejoice in the loss of a business, even if it is a chain. De Vore commits the cardinal sin of journalism: burying his lede. In the penultimate paragraph, [he] finally acknowledges that the employees of Hastings will lose their jobs and their paychecks. But then he goes on to trivialize their hardship by saying that their jobs couldn’t have paid very well and he’s “sure you’ll probably do better someplace else.” For their sake, I hope he’s right.

Hastings is closing?! Well, waah-fuckingwaah. Based on my employment there, I’ll bet that their demise goes deeper than their merchandising problems. They changed managers, who were usually petty and incompetent, more often than most of us change our underwear. The 21-to-35-yearold male employees—I won’t call them men—huddled in the back room, almost got into fistfights over who played Batman best and discussed ‘chicks’ in the most vile and vicious language I’ve ever heard. ... If a young gangsta-looking Latino came in, the managers just assumed he was there to steal so, instead of helping him find a product, they assigned security people to follow him around the store. In short, the place reeked of Eau d’Low Budget. No big loss.

MUSIC, AUGUST 3:
I’m going to miss [Hastings]. I also have to consider all the job loss that is happening, and that makes me sad. I am happy for the smaller businesses that will get some more customers through this. Our video rental stores, our bookstores, they’re all slowly going away. I miss Borders, too. Guess who bought them and liquidated? The same company that bought Hastings. So, yes, I will miss Hastings. It was my go-to place for comic books and previously viewed movies and anime comic books. It was also the best place for National Free Comic Book Day.
Would you like to experience caring, smiling, fun, gentle people who truly enjoy working with you?
ISN’T VERY ELOQUENT While I understand free speech, I don’t understand why [Alex De Vore] felt the need to disrespect not only Hastings but the people who shop there as well. He belittled the employees, telling them that they should aspire to something better than working at Hastings (not a direct quote as your writer isn’t very eloquent). Not only did he belittle the employees, but he also wrote in a very hard to follow, poorly written style that relied upon expletives to get his point across. I suggest either sending your writer back to school to learn how to be a journalist or find a real writer. I’m sorry if this is rude, but I find it hard to stay objective when my friends and family are being attacked, especially in this horrible time when they are faced with unemployment.

I replied, “You first.” When he had finished yipping that it was an unfair question, I asked if it wouldn’t be better to base his opinion of me on how well I listened, whether I seemed to care about him and the other party’s arguments in the case, and whether I seemed to know the law and come up with an understandable decision— CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Go To Your
Quarters! Feeding the insatiable beast
H
BY RO BE RT B A S L E R
oney, where are you going? Downtown for lunch. Sweetheart, why are you walking all stooped-over like that? Backpack. Very heavy… It’s already time to have the anvil serviced? Land sakes, where does the time go? It’s not the anvil. It’s coins for the parking meter. You mean to say that backpack is filled with quarters? How long do you plan to be at lunch, anyway? A couple of hours. You’d better take some more coins! Conversations like this one are going on all over Santa Fe these days, ever since the city doubled the cost of feeding a parking meter. Overnight, it went from eight quarters for two hours to 16 quarters for two hours. You want to add a third hour? That’s another $3. That’s right, three hours, 28 quarters! We all know the City Different is the City Destitute these days, but you have to ask yourself: When was the last time you saw a 100 percent price increase for something happen overnight? Okay, sir, that’ll be $14 to see Suicide Squad at the Violet Crown. Nice timing—tomorrow it would cost you $28! You see what I mean? That just sounds wrong. In its own defense, the city points out it actually reduced prices in its off-street parking lots and garages, but those places tend to fill up, especially during tourist season.
PE
Of course I have my own assigned Humor Columnist space in the Reporter’s parking lot, so I’m taken care of, but I do feel sorry for you locals and tourists who are struggling with this meter thing. Merchants around the Plaza say folks aren’t taking time to shop anymore, they’re so busy looking a their watches. Some people think meters around the Farmers Market should go back to the old prices, because, you know, farmers. One resident of questionable compassion said in a newspaper letter that we should just cut way back on the number of spaces reserved for the handicapped.
Your call is important to us, Mr. Grinch. But the increase isn’t the only meterrelated thing I wanted to mention. There is a proposal before the City Council, right now, aimed at keeping drunk drivers off the streets. Here’s how it would work. You go to a restaurant or a bar, see, and you have nine or 10 margaritas, and you realize you’re too wasted to drive home. Your car is PE parked at a meter, and you know they start ticketing cars at 8 am. Under the new plan, you would ask the bartender for a voucher, assuming you’re not too hammered to remember the word. Then, you stumble to your car, put the voucher on your dashboard, and bingo, parking enforcement ignores your car until 9:30 or 10:30 the next morning, depending on which version the Council passes. Then you barf all over yourself and tell your wife to come get you, and bring some rags. The goal is admirable, but I have some misgivings. I can picture responsible citizens who get drunk at home, the way I do, having a hard time finding parking at 9 am because the public-drinking sots still have all the good spaces, and for free. Also, if we’re going to do this, there should be some shaming involved. The vouchers should be big, red and easy to read through a windshield, and should say, “This parking space is currently unavailable, because EUGENE JOHNSON was too much of a selfish dickweed to control himself last night! Feel free to key his stupid car!” Now, THAT’S a voucher I could get behind! Robert Basler’s humor column runs twice monthly in SFR. Email the author: bluecorn@sfreporter.com

Unfortunately, Andrew Koss’ article was dismissive of the art and opportunity that labyrinths may provide for people.

FREE THE GILA People in New Mexico need to understand that these water projects ultimately serve the needs of housing developers. ... Necessary services are neglected and New Mexico is left with a weak education system and taxpayers are poorer as they pay off bonds for years. Any new jobs that are attracted to the state will be designed to take advantage of a low-income, uneducated population willing to work for a starvation wage. We already have more than 12,000 call center jobs in the Albuquerque metro area alone. The Albuquerque Journal, a conservative publication, describes these centers [as] ... “stressful office environments, highly standardized work and unstable, low-paying jobs.” Is this the future we want for our children and grandchildren? Stand up and say “NO” to these developers.

rather than pre-judging me for my political affiliation before the trial started. That’s the nutshell description of the problem with how we pick our judges. ...Over the long run of many governors, merit selection has resulted in a pretty even split among appointees, all of whom have been vetted for nominal qualification. The fly in the ointment is the partisan contested race that follows, where entry into the contest has nothing to do with judicial qualifications—at least for challengers. ... My work on nominating commissions as a court representative has convinced me that the prospect of an election, together with NM judges being the worst-paid in the country, is keeping a lot of skilled and honorable candidates out of public service. I know more than a couple very qualified lawyers who would be great additions to the court, and who expressly will never apply because of the statewide election. I have done it, and have watched this year’s candidates spend more time out of the courthouse campaigning than doing the work they love enough to have applied for appointment. ... I hope New Mexico might at last find a way to give our talented lawyers who are interested in public service in the judiciary more encouragement and opportunity.

Bikes in the Woods?

n
Allowing bikes where they have long been banned is aim of federal proposal BY ELIZ A B E TH M I LLE R eli zab et h @ s fr re p o r te r.co m
W
hen the Columbine Hondo Wilderness was designated near Taos two years ago, conservationists celebrated the addition of 45,000 acres to the nation’s fiercely protective and rarely used category of conservation, and bicyclists mourned their subsequent ban from 75 miles of trails. The issue has carved a rift between the mountain biking community and wilderness conservation advocates—but advocates on both sides seem to be sharing some reservations with recently proposed legislation that would allow bikes within the bounds of wilderness areas all over the US. The proposed Human-Powered Travel in Wilderness Areas Act would grant local officials with federal land management agencies authority to decide which forms of non-motorized transportation (one that “does not use a propulsive internal or external motor with a nonliving power source”) to allow into an area. No decision on the issue within two years defaults to granting access, including the use of small equipment such as chainsaws and wheelbarrows for trail maintenance. The International Mountain Biking Association survey of members shows that they’re split over the issue of allowing bikes in wilderness, and has been striving to balance wilderness designations with other wins for mountain bikers. When the Columbine Hondo Wilderness was approved, for example, it restored mountain biking access to a 20-mile loop on the boundary of the Wheeler Peak Wilderness. In response to the proposal, the organization has stated that amending the Wilderness Act could come with unintended consequences, especially those that further polarize the conservation and mountain biking communities, and that this bill could somehow further the agenda of public lands seizure. That concern has been echoed by The Wilderness Society, which sees the proposed legislation as pairing with
the public lands takeover efforts that call for returning federally run land to states (see News, page 13). The bill was introduced by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), a longtime supporter of that movement. “This bill would lead to a management nightmare for already cash-strapped (and often shorthanded) land agencies,” reads a blog published by The Wilderness Society. “Some radical mountain biking groups are clamoring to support this legislation, but it would be both bad policy and a bad precedent for American public lands.” Although the legislation creating wilderness areas predates the invention of mountain bikes, they argue, it was written broadly to apply to those kinds of inventions, and that making this kind of exception could lead others to follow. Whether the drafters truly meant “mechanized” or “motorized” has been a point of debate, and led some advocates to point to the mechanization in something like snowshoes as justification for allowing human-powered bikes into wilderness. About 17 percent of the 630 million acres of federally managed public lands, and just 3 percent of land in the nation, are designated wilderness areas, according to The Wilderness Society. Other public lands designations, including national monuments and national parks, already allow land managers flexibility to determine whether and where to allow mountain bikes. “Mountain bikers do need more trails and guaranteed access to the outdoors, but allowing potentially damaging recreation in America’s wildest places is not the answer,” the Wilderness Society blog continues. Talks currently underway about the proposal to include another 120,000 acres of roadless areas in the Pecos Wilderness bring the question of how to balance these interests home again to New Mexico.

The Santa Fe Connection Emails to and from Hillary Clinton show a close relationship with Joe and Valerie Plame Wilson BY STEVE N H SI E H @steven j h s i e h
I
f Hillary Clinton ever makes a campaign stop in Santa Fe, she’ll have a place to crash. As of 2012, the Democratic presidential nominee has an open invitation from Valerie Plame Wilson and Joe Wilson to visit them in the City Different, where the couple lives in what the New York Times describes as a “sprawling adobe house on a ridge overlooking the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.” Clinton maintained close ties with the Wilsons while she served as secretary of state, long after the couple had fled Washington for the private sector, according to emails declassified by the State Department amid a federal investigation of the presidential candidate’s personal server. Requests for favors and meeting arrangements are intermingled with intimate well-wishes and fawning praise. Nuclear weapons, the Iraq War, Benghazi and Naomi Watts all make appearances in the messages, which span 2009 to 2012. Plame Wilson, the former CIA operative, these days writes spy novels and advocates for Global Zero, the international nuclear disarmament movement. Wilson, a diplomat who served as an advisor to Bill Clinton on Africa affairs, does consulting work, often lending his international expertise to nonprofits and private companies. On numerous occasions, as Politico first reported, Wilson reached out to Clinton concerning his work for Symbion Power, an electrical engineering company that does business in Africa and the Middle East. The company in 2009 had trouble securing a contract administered by USAID for a hydroelectric project in Afghanistan. Those already working on the project “should just get out and let companies like Symbion, who have a proven track record get in there and roll up our sleeves,” Wilson wrote. Clinton forwarded the message to her staff, and a month later, USAID opened up the bidding process to Symbion. The contract ultimately went to a different company. That same year, Wilson also alerted Clinton to Symbion’s bid for a contract to install power lines in Tanzania. This time, the company was successful. Wilson in 2011 messaged Clinton again about Symbion’s work in Africa, asking her to resolve a dispute with General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt on a call. (Wilson filed a lawsuit against Symbion last year, claiming the company failed to pay him and misrepresented itself as an American company.) Other strings were easier to pull. In a 2012 message, Wilson encourages Clinton to meet his friend, the television producer Kirk Ellis, at a national fine arts reception. “He is a leader in the rich cultural and art world here in Santa Fe and a genuinely nice person,” Wilson wrote. A day later, Ellis responded, “Can never thank you
I met Naomi Watts last weekend and we talked about you and Valerie and how amazing you both are!
ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
enough for arranging that intro.” In 2011, Plame Wilson personally invited Clinton to a Global Zero summit at Yale University, where the candidate attended law school. “We would be truly delighted and honored if you could consider attending this special event that will be so effective toward inspiring and igniting young people’s passion and concern about the nuclear threat,” she wrote. Clinton couldn’t fit Yale into her schedule, but ensured the couple that her office would be “well-represented for such a significant event.” Other messages from the Wilsons express foreign policy concerns, past and present. When it looked like the US Senate would fail to ratify a new arms-reduction treaty with Russia, Wilson made clear his and Plame Wilson’s alarm. In his longest and perhaps most remarkable memo to Clinton, Wilson details a trip he made to Baghdad in 2010, illustrating scenes of destruction and devastation resulting from the US-led invasion of Iraq. “I have struggled to find the correct historical analogy to describe a vibrant, historically important Middle Eastern city being slowly bled to death,” he wrote. Wilson characterizes the war as a complete failure. In a memorable passage, the former diplomat expresses his disgust over “horribly bellicose” and “racist” t-shirts sold at a base exchange. “Shirts with mushroom clouds conveyed the Baghdad weather as 32,000 degrees and partly cloudy. Others referred to Arabs as camel jockeys and those were the least offensive,” he wrote. Wilson and Plame Wilson unwillingly entered the national spotlight in 2003 after a conservative journalist, informed by a leak from the Bush administration, revealed Plame Wilson’s identity as a spy. It is widely believed that Plame Wilson’s outing was in retaliation to column Wilson wrote in The New York Times debunking the administration’s claim that Saddam Hussein sought to purchase yellowcake uranium from Niger, a central piece of George W Bush’s justification for invading Iraq. It wasn’t always business. A handful of emails show diplomat-to-diplomat camaraderie between the secretary of state and the former ambassador. Wilson offered his condolences the day after the 2012 attack on the US embassy in Libya, which killed four Americans. He knew one of the victims, former Navy SEAL Glen Doherty, from an effort to curb the influence of Christian Dominionism in the US military. Of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Wilson wrote, “He knew the risks, and as you and the President noted, was willing to take them to make the world a little bit better.” On a more light-hearted note, consider this subject line Clinton sent to Wilson in 2012: “I met Naomi Watts last weekend and we talked about you and Valerie and how amazing you both are!” She left the body of the message blank. (Watts portrayed Plame Wilson in Fair Game, the feature film adaptation of the former spy’s memoir.) Wilson responded the next morning. He wished Secretary Clinton luck during a meeting scheduled that day with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. “I don’t know how you find the time to write us when you are so busy saving the world! You are the one who is amazing,” he wrote. “Have a great holiday season. We will be at Renaissance weekend this year. Best to WJC and Chelsea. Much love.”

Federal Land Grab
THOMAS SHAHAN
NEWS
With Republicans mounting a platform that calls for states reclaiming federally owned lands, outdoors advocates reply with a case that makes economic sense BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m
C
alls to turn federally managed lands over to states have demonstrated a zombie-like persistence, appearing in multiple state legislatures over recent years (orchestrated by a Koch brothers-funded program) and most recently in the party platform emerging from the Republican National Committee’s convention last month. The move prompted a swift response from the Outdoor Industry Association, a group which now runs its own political action committee to support proconservation and outdoor recreation candidates, and has contributed to Sen. Martin Heinrich in the past. Their letter to the RNC chairman began with the stats that tend to open most eyes: The association counts more than 1,300 members and calculated a $646 billion economic impact and 6.1 million jobs supported in their latest round of research, published in 2012. That business depends on access to America’s public lands, and the policy of transferring those lands back to states puts that access at risk. The trade association aims for balanced and reasonable policies, says Alex Boian, senior director of government affairs for OIA, but these lands are the backbone of the outdoor industry, and any threat to them is an existential threat to that industry. “The answer is not to turn these lands over to states, disguised as better management, but is instead to continue to seek improvements in the practices and processes that lead to conflict in the first place,” he wrote to the RNC chairman. Research shows that states can’t afford to manage public lands—the costs of fighting wildfires alone, which ran at $155 million in New Mexico in 2011, could bankrupt state budgets—so the result would likely be the sale of the lands to the highest bidder, and the end of public access. “Studies have shown that transferring these lands is not necessarily going to be profitable in the long run— that states aren’t going to be able to manage them, that it’s going to be a losing economic battle,” says Tania Lown-Hecht, communications director with the Outdoor Alliance. “Even if you do sell off all this land and open it up for oil and gas drilling, those rural communities aren’t necessarily benefitting from that.” Instead, that money would go to big companies, and, briefly, to the state government. The “public land heist,” as the Outdoor Alliance calls these bills, she says, seems to stem from broader, more deeply entrenched problems.

A
t Mexico City’s historic central square, or zócalo, Jose Adan Garcia Canales was busy balancing a small pipe organ on a wooden peg. He turned its crank, and the instrument let out a shrill tune reminiscent of circus music. Garcia’s partner strolled amid the shoppers, tourists and vendors with a hat in hand, asking for change. The organillero, or organ-grinder, is one of many in the capital’s massive unofficial economy. He’s a man of the people, with his fingers on the pulse of the city, and that’s why I asked him about one of the most pressing issues in Mexico today: Donald Trump. What does the everyday Mexican think of “the wall,” or Trump’s plan to send 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States back to Mexico, among so many other contentious proposals? Garcia’s response was to the point: “They’re very radical,” he said in Spanish. “I don’t like them.” In the weeks leading up to the Republican National Convention, I interviewed a number of Mexico City residents— from teachers to musicians to fellow journalists—about Trump, and whether the demagogic candidate had changed their perception of America. Responses varied. While the organillero didn’t believe Trump would win the election, some predicted that Trump would take it all in November. Others hinted at a conspiracy between Trump and Mexico’s president. A few bluntly compared Trump to Hitler. And some likened his campaign to a stunt, instead of an honest attempt to win the White House. Lots of people described the man with the darkest of humor: His campaign is a joke, but not a funny one. One common theme emerged from all of these interviews: Trump has to go. Or, in Spanish: ¡Fuera Trump!

¡Fuera Trump! STORY AND PHOTOS BY B E RT J OHNSON @be r te d johnson
‘HE’S LIKE A CLOWN’ Fabiola Valdez Gutierrez interpreter
Fabiola Valdez Guierrez is a SpanishEnglish interpreter—but her message for Trump needs no translation: He will never build “the wall.” She actually believes that, if he were in fact elected and did try to push the wall, a litigious private sector on both sides of the border would stop his plans in the courts. “Mexican companies have American partners that would likely lose money, as well, and I cannot see the federal government trying to solve all the possible lawsuits that will be surfacing” because of the wall, she explained. Valdez understands issues north and south of the border. She works remotely for Languageline Solutions, a company based in Monterey, California, with clients in the United States and other English-speaking countries. She also has family in America and, in 2003, spent a summer in Texas and Arizona. So, for her, the border is personal. Like many people I spoke to, Valdez was cynical when it came to Trump and his bombastic style. “He presents himself
as a great business success, but a lot of reporters have caught him lying,” she explained. She thinks his No. 1 motivation is to further his Trump brand with scandals and constant media attention. But “his message is so full of ignorance that it is a joke to think that his proposals are serious,” she said. Is there anything new about Trump’s brand of bigotry? Valdez doesn’t thinks so, calling it a byproduct of “a racist America that is still palpable and very alive, present in a lot of cities.” The only surprise is that’s he’s a legitimate major-party candidate, she said— one supported by extremists who “won’t recognize the multiculturalism in their own country,” and who want “to go back to an America that never existed.” For Valdez, that’s why Trump’s popularity is ultimately scary: It validates the idea that “racists think they have the right to impose their world view on the rest of the population, and ultimately the world.” Despite her concern about Trump and his supporters, she said that his vision is basically a punchline in Mexico. “He is like a clown,” she explained. “Nobody has real concerns or fears about him becoming president. At least not in my social circle.”

CHOICE WORDS FOR THE DONALD FROM OLD MEXICO
‘WE ARE POLAND AND TRUMP IS GERMANY’ Federico Campbell Peña
journalist
A TV journalist who works for Canal Once, or the “Mexican PBS,” Federico Campbell Peña has followed Trump’s campaign from day one. And he is certain that Trump, whom he calls a “unique species,” will win. That’s a disconcerting prognostication from a man who also recently wrote a self-published book, Stop Trump: Una cronología abreviada, or an “abridged chronology.” But Campbell doesn’t want Trump to move in to the White House; his hope with the book is to inspire Mexican leadership to develop a plan to deal with the possibility of a Trump presidency. The writer partially attributes Trump’s appeal in America to the scandals that have beset Hillary Clinton. But he also believes that global instability is setting the table for a Trump presidency. “ISIS is helping Mr. Trump,” he explained, “and also the police attacks.” If Trump becomes president, Campbell predicted that he would immediately enact a series of “publicity policies,” such as building the border wall, to prove his might. Another demonstration of power Campbell expects in Trump’s hypothetical first year is the cessation of diplomatic relations between Mexico and
America—as crazy as that sounds. “We are not going to have ambassador[s] in DC and in Mexico City,” he predicted. But Campbell does not believe Mexico would fork over the billions of dollars needed to erect Trump’s notorious wall. He cited President Enrique Peña Nieto, who recently said, “There is no way that Mexico can pay.” He does expect a truly massive deportation effort, although not of every undocumented immigrant, as Trump has promised. According to Campbell, that would be physically impossible. “But he is going to deport more people than Obama.” If that happens, he predicted the US economy could collapse, due to the sudden removal of a large percentage of its labor force and consumer base. And the situation would be equally as dire on the receiving end. “Mexico cannot receive a lot of migrants,” he said. And with the loss of remittances from Mexicans that had been living in the states, the Mexican economy could fold, too. In an interesting twist, Campbell said conspiracy theories about Trump abound. “A taxi [driver] told me that Peña Nieto has just been with Donald Trump,” he said, implying that the two Ali Gua Gua thinks Trump is likely to lose the election. are somehow in cahoots. He explained that many Mexicans share an inherent distrust of mainstream news outlets, because of their close ties to government. all the problems are because of immigration.” But it’s also possible that conspiracy theories are But she also realizes that the US economy sucks simply a means for those who feel disempowered to for a lot of people. “I think United States citizens are make sense of Trump’s madness. very scared about the economy,” she said. In turn, Speaking of which: How does it feel to be Mexican they’re drawn to Trump’s quasi-populist message and hear Trump’s vitriolic message? and purported business acumen. Campbell was blunt: “We feel as [though we are] Although she thinks Trump will ultimately lose Polish in 1938, when Adolf Hitler reached power in the election, Gua Gua admitted that it’s still frightenGermany. ... We are Poland and Trump is Germany.” ing that his ideas carried him to the nomination. “The
‘THE EASIEST WAY IS HATE’ Ali Gua Gua
punk musician and DJ Like many Mexicans, Trump wasn’t on Ali Gua Gua’s radar. “We only know he had, like, some hotels and had a lot of money,” she explained while seated in the middle of a protest encampment full of striking teachers in the heart of Mexico City, where she lives. Gua Gua—a globetrotting musician prominent in the Latin American punk scene—is perhaps best known as part of the Kumbia Queers, an all-female outfit whose members hail from Mexico and Argentina. She views Trump’s popularity in America as a byproduct of a strong strain of cultural intolerance in the country. “I think in the United States, [people are] more aggressive when you’re different,” she observed. “And I think Trump is representing these people who think
easiest way is hate,” she said. And she also wanted to share a warning for Trump supporters in America: White people will soon be outnumbered. She dismissed Trump’s claim that the Mexican government uses the United States as a “release valve” for its own domestic poverty. Instead, she said, common people are often faced with an impossible situation. “If you’re a young guy, in a small town in the middle of Mexico, you have, like, two choices, or three: You’re a peasant and you starve [to] death, or you become a policeman, [or] te vuelves narco [or you traffic drugs], or you go to the states.” And a majority decline crossing the border, because it is expensive and fraught with danger. Amazingly, she keeps a sense of humor about Trump. During our chat, she joked about his “piggy face,” and how metal bands might find him the perfect target for their derision were he elected. And, in the end, she likened his candidacy to dystopian farce with a musical twist: “For me, it’s like a comic, no? It’s like Jello Biafra’s worst nightmare.” CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

‘LITTLE TRUMPS’ Maritza Waldo Molina
English teacher
When Maritza Waldo Molina crossed the border with a coyote, or trafficker, she didn’t even realize it was illegal. She lived for more than five years in North Carolina, beginning in 2005. And she only returned to Mexico for her parents’ sake. But she still has family in America, some of whom are legal residents, some still undocumented. Waldo, now an English teacher, said that her view of Trump is akin to that of the majority of Mexicans: “Everybody thinks he’s a jerk.” Her theory as to the candidate’s popularity, however, is unique: People get defensive when they feel
threatened—“The problem is, like, we blame everybody”—and Trump is the ultimate defense mechanism. As a Mexican, she isn’t offended by Americans who love Trump—because she isn’t surprised. “I’m not 100 percent neutral, but I know you can expect anything” from politics on both sides of the border. Her big-picture attitude is that the president doesn’t matter: The rich will get richer, and they’ll continue to ignore the working class. To that skeptical end, she described Trump as a “Muppet,” who’s “part of a malicious plan.” (More of those conspiracy theories.) She views Trump’s role as the distraction, the guy who says hateful and outrageous things to keep people distracted, while the powerful elite do the real damage. That’s one reason why she thinks Trump will win.
Teacher Maritza Waldo Molina says she’s jaded about Mexican politics, too.

She’s equally jaded when it comes to Mexican politics. Waldo mentioned the most recent presidential race, in which Peña Nieto won with less than half of the popular vote, an election reminiscent of the Bush-Gore standoff of 2000. She also thinks we all have some of Trump’s flaws in us, to varying degrees. She called these our “little Trumps.”
‘MEXICO BELONGS TO THE UNITED STATES’ Cuauhtli Contreras
shop owner
On most days, you’ll find Cuauhtli Contreras at his news kiosk in Mexico City’s zócalo, where he sells papers and magazines, bottled drinks, and loose cigarettes. He’s a man of the news—so you might be surprised, then, that he sympathizes with Trump. “He’s defending his country. No one sees it that way, but it’s true,” Contreras argued. Nonetheless, he believes Trump will lose, because his vitriol disassociates so many voters. “If you’re not blond and tall, you’re opposed to Trump,” he explained in Spanish. For Contreras, Trump isn’t directly threatening Mexico. His message is not about Mexicans. “His whole campaign of hate is against Mexicans in the United States,” he explained. Contreras’ views also stand out because, he said, if Trump were to win, he thinks the Mexican government would in fact go along with his plans. “Mexico belongs to the United States,” he said. He pointed out that it has been this way since the Mexican-American War, when the US Army occupied Mexico City and flew the Stars and Stripes over the very square where he runs his kiosk. That’s why Contreras believes that Mexico might bend to pressure and pay for a border wall—even though his country would have to borrow money from the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, or possibly America itself to make it happen. If that occurred, Mexico would carry the debt for generations. “It’s like I told you, Mexico is not in a position to refuse the United States.”

‘WHAT WOULD THE UNITED STATES GAIN FROM BEING CONSTANTLY AT WAR?’ Isaías Jaime Ignacio Cruz
teacher on strike
The ongoing teachers strike in Mexico City is a mass protest against national education reforms that would hardly cause US citizens to bat an eye. But critics say Peña Nieto’s proposals have more to do with privatization than actually improving schools. And
Ignacio predicted that the US economy would collapse if undocumented immigrants were prevented from entering the country or sent back to Latin America. “They have jobs that Americans cannot or will not do,” he said. He added that US business owners ultimately benefit from undocumented immigration, since those without legal status will often work for less money. He wonders what supporters think they will gain from Trump’s belligerent policy. “We’ve already seen this gentleman’s intentions to begin cutting ties with all of the developing nations,” he said. “What would the [United States] gain from being constantly at war?” Hopefully, he said, Americans will come to their senses by November. He quoted Benito Juarez, the
from repression or corruption. At the same time, he thinks that, in the United States, Latino voters are undervalued as a complementary bloc to white voters, and that their interests are too often overlooked. Trump’s pandering to the concerns of an ever-insecure, mostly conservative base support Diaz’ view. And that’s the rub in Mexico: “For us, the worst thing is that there’s a mass [of people] that support the proposals of Donald Trump,” he said. “Today, if you ask any Mexican they’ll say, ‘God willing Hillary Clinton will win.’” Interestingly, this anti-Trump sentiment is shared across the political aisle in Mexico, from supporters of the conservative Peña Nieto to those who sympathize with the striking teachers. They’re all saying it: “‘God help us if Donald Trump wins!’” SFREPORTER.COM

artist recently earned his MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, and returned to his adopted home in the Southwest with a brain full of Freudian, Lacanian and Zizekian theories. They’ve guided him as he brings his memories, or the “screen memories” that may have replaced them, into the present. Blurred faces, dark shadows and shockingly bright hues obscure Weiss’ recollections, lending the work a sense of fragmented déjà vu that will only compound as we watch this body of work grow. “As much as I speak about memory, they’re very much about constructing my life now and pointing to the place that I’m from,” says Weiss. “It’s always this ‘now’ moment. Good painting is always alive, and if it’s always alive it’s always right now.” When you shake the artist’s hand at the opening reception, know that you too run the risk of getting pulled onto the boards.

Upstart Crows of Santa Fe has made Shakespeare’s works accessible for youth from the ages of 10 to 18 since September 2014. “We started with three kids doing a workshop of Twelfth Night,” says Upstart Crows founder and artistic director Anna Farkas. Since that time, the troupe has grown in popularity, with some kids traveling from as far as an hour away to perform. The Upstart Crows’ production of Henry IV, Part I boasts two alternating casts made up of 24 young actors. Farkas tells SFR, “You could technically come two nights and see two entirely different performances.” (Andrew Koss) Henry IV, Part I: 7 pm Thursday Aug. 11 . $5.

Think of Jared Weiss’ paintings as a vast stage on a fault line. The set is based largely on the American Midwest, the cast is comprised of the artist’s Santa Fe friends, and the script features contributions from a trio of famous psychoanalysts. Something rumbles, and these elements come crashing together on canvas in unsettling combinations. Since resurfacing in Santa Fe last summer, Weiss has been scattering sawed-off set pieces from the massive performance in art spaces around town. “It’s like a theatrical production that’s unfolding in front of you,” says Weiss. “You sense that they’re actors. They’re part of a strange world that’s slightly off-kilter.” If you’ve caught Weiss’ past shows, you’ll recognize recurring—but oddly warped—plotlines in his new exhibition at the Center for Contemporary Arts’ Cinematheque Lobby Gallery. There’s a stooped figure in a striped shirt that first starred in Fathoms at Radical Abacus this July, and a shadowy lumberyard from Weiss’ childhood in Ohio that also appeared in his solo show at the Adobe Rose Theatre in May. Weiss is playing a long game: As he echoes and shifts his imagery, he’s collaging over the memories of his viewers. The

FLORENCIA VELAZQUEZ
Punk Schtick Much more than a gimmick
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
“
e’re not one of those bands that is somehow innovative or is going to alter the paradigm of music at all,” Matt Miller says, a wry smile barely noticeable on his lips. “I always refer to our stuff as loud, fast rock ’n’ roll.” The longtime Santa Fe musician and (I’m just going to say it) local punk rock legend refers to his newest project, GHMC. It’s pronounced “gimmick,” but Miller says the acronym can be used in a variety of fun ways such as “God Hates My Cock” or “Greatest Hits of Mariah Carey.” “We came up with a pretty long list of our own,” Miller says, “and we encourage other people to come up with their own lists as well.” GHMC is an exciting addition to the local scene, not just due to Miller’s involvement—he’s one-third of The Floors, one of the most underrated Santa Fe bands of all time—but also because of bandmates Sarah Meadows (of The Hollis Wake) and Ken Maestas (from Voodoo Junkies). OK, so these acts might not carry the same weight they once did, but for those of us who came up in the Santa Fe scene of the last 20-ish years, we’ve kind of been wondering what these people were up to. They were the giants whom so many of us in shitty bands desperately tried, and failed, to musically emulate (we just didn’t have the chops). We’re talking punk rock royalty, but with the instrumental skills to outdo even their own heroes. Though Miller downplays his guitar prowess as he points to influences ranging anywhere from jazz and Morrissey (Miller says he likes Moz’s extremism in a ha-ha kind of way) to Led Zeppelin and Black Flag, it’s the ultimate spirit of punk kept alive and played out on a local yet universally important scale that’s worth your attention. I say this because I’m excited for a little of the old punk rock flavor around here, sure, but also because Miller, Maestas and Meadows are the kind of musicians who do it for the love—not
From left, Ken Maestas, Matt Miller and Sarah Meadows are GHMC. God Help Many Children.
I was one of those kids who punk rock changed my life forever. for money and certainly not so a bunch of strangers in a bar will tell them how fantastic they sound. And if I can just fanboy out here for a second, it’s pretty intense (in a good way) that this particular lineup exists. For their upcoming show, GHMC takes over The Underground alongside Albuquerque rock bands Alien Space Kitchen and Full Speed Veronica (which features Meadows’ former Hollis Wake bandmate Malcolm June). “I think it’s great that [promoter] Johnny Pink is going to be filling that rock rock niche,” Meadows says. “I know I feel like a more whole person when I have music in my life, and there aren’t a lot of those rock rock bands in Santa Fe.”
And there it is—people who know what they’re doing who play mostly original music (!) which, honestly, should be enough to pack in the crowds just on its own. Both Meadows and Miller say GHMC will get down to recording very soon and that they’ve kicked around the idea of touring regionally—all of which points to how they’re becoming a little more serious. This is a good thing, as is the band’s collective attitude toward musicianship. “I was one of those kids who punk rock changed my life forever,” Miller adds. “And even though we’re more of a Dickies kind of thing with the drunken audience banter going on, I like to think we bring a certain intensity when we play as well.” This is true. Miller has always exuded a certain bad-guy-of-pro-wrestling persona while onstage, and now, with the addition of some of Santa Fe’s finest to complement his songwriting, GHMC is surely destined for great things.

Outsider Art Santa Fe’s new Public Art Purchase Program engages with far-flung audiences BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart
S
“
o I got this call from Carmichael Dominguez,” says Debra Garcia y Griego. “He was like, ‘Everyone’s talking about this bird.’” Dominguez is the city councilor for District 3, which encompasses much of Santa Fe’s south side, and Garcia y Griego recently unleashed a 15-foottall hummingbird made of old car hoods in his dominion. The colorful beast towers over Arroyo Sonrisa Park off Jaguar Drive, just across the street from Cesar Chavez Elementary School. “I said, ‘Do people like it?’” recalls Garcia y Griego. “He said, ‘Oh yeah, it’s all really positive. I just need to know what’s going on!’” As director of the Santa Fe Arts Commission, Garcia y Griego has been orches-
trating surprises like this all summer. The sculpture, by local artist Don Kennell, is one of several acquisitions made through the city’s new Public Art Purchase Program, and it’s designed to connect disparate corners of Santa Fe’s community in eye-opening ways. From her office at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center, Garcia y Griego recounts the swift implementation of the new program. An announcement released this January invited local artists and galleries to submit work for purchase and placement in a city park. “Historically, we’ve only done sitespecific public art commissions,” Garcia y Griego says. “This was a way to start working with artists and galleries to expand the benefit in that direction.” By late June, artwork by Milton Elting Hebald and Jill Shwaiko had landed in green spaces around the city. Garcia y Griego has been working closely with the artists and the Santa Fe Parks and Recreation department to find homes for the new acquisitions. The program allows for an unusual amount of freedom to select the location of each piece. Its funding is drawn from 2 percent of the bonds issued for Santa Fe capital improvement projects, but the money isn’t tied to the sites where the projects took place. This differs from the state’s Art in Public Places Program, which determines a percentage allocation based on the amount of money spent at a specific location. “The ordinance allows us to pool our money and then spend it to make high impact in a place that’s not necessarily going to get that,” says Garcia y Griego. “Many of these pieces would’ve never ended up in the parks that they did, because they’re not get-
ting that kind of money spent in them.” The program furthers the City Arts Commission’s longstanding efforts to ensure the geographic diversity of Santa Fe’s public art collection. “We want to engage portions of the community that don’t normally interact with art,” Garcia y Griego says. At the other end of town on Jaguar Drive, Kennell parks his truck and strides across the street to Arroyo Sonrisa Park. This is the first time he’s been back here since installing the sculpture, titled “Colossal Hummer,” in the midst of the July heat wave a few weeks ago. Now that monsoon season has finally arrived, a small swamp is forming around his artwork. “This park is pretty neglected, as you can see. It’s hard to even imagine it as a park,” Kennell tells SFR. It’s a small square of bumpy earth with a circular path stamped in it and a crumbling stone wall on one side. “Colossal Hummer” makes a dramatic addition to the otherwise humble tableau. The sculpture is a patchwork of bright red, orange and yellow sheets of steel, pounded and wielded into an elegant avian form. It’s covered in alluring clues to the past life of the materials: There are dents, scratches, patches of rust and silver car logos. Its eyes are made from taillights. The sculpture’s base doubles as a bench, harkening back to Kennell’s “Yard Dog” sculpture that stood in the Santa Fe Railyard Park in 2011. That piece, made from corrugated sheet metal, had a porch swing attached to its belly and was so well-received that Kennell has exhibited two large sculptures in the Railyard Park since: a green coyote and a blue gorilla. All of them were treasured for their bright colors and dense details, which compelled visitors to reach out and touch them. “Colossal Hummer” has similar gravitational powers. “When we were installing, people literally pulled over and were like, ‘Wow, is that really coming here?’” says Kennell. “That was great, because it was just regular people who were doing that. I love that audience.” No one is braving the mud to interact with “Colossal Hummer” today, but the work’s mere presence already promises to transform its surroundings. The city plans to clear away loose rocks and spread mulch around the piece. Kennell also dreams of planting an elm tree here, and perhaps adding a few more benches. It’s a sculpture garden in the making, far from Santa Fe’s art districts. “I would like to know how many of the people that call this neighborhood home go to galleries or museums,” Kennell says. “I never like to assume anything, because I’m always surprised, but I think it’s safe to say that a lot of them don’t really go to many art spaces.” The artist points out that projects like this bridge gaps between art and everyday life, fostering new inspiration. “I’m a big believer that there are these ripple effects with things like this,” says Kennell. “Kids can grow up saying, ‘Contemporary art is this thing that’s part of my life. This is something that’s relevant to me.’” Back in her downtown office, Garcia y Griego pulls up a Facebook post about Kennell’s new sculpture. “This totally made my day,” she says. “A woman reposted our photo and said, ‘So grateful for this beautiful piece installed right by our house.’” Garcia y Griego raises her arms in victory. “There’s just so much opportunity on the Southside for exciting and interesting projects.” SFREPORTER.COM

Spastic Plastic
T
BY AMY DAVI S
hose noxious BPAs and the toxic fumes. Plastic, you vicious evil meanie-poo! We hate you! For fashion and accessories, though? It’s super fantastic! Flashback to Belgium 1909. Slow zoom into chemist Leo Baekeland munching on creamy chocolates while concocting the first purely synthetic plastic. Hallelujah! Bakelite was born! By the 1920s, bakelite bangles were de rigueur. Now cut to 2016—perhaps the year of plastic? One of my all-time favorite artists and accessory designers is Ineke Otte of the Netherlands, who fashions the most gloriously weird and original jewelry all out of plastic. Lobsters, rats, goldfish, mussels, moss, seaweed, bananas, broccoli, windmills! And 94-years-young style icon Iris Apfel rocks the mussel necklace with sparkling panache. For 2016 Spring/Summer (SS), luxury Spanish brand Loewe has created crystal-clear, see-thru pants. Genius? YES! Comfy? I think not. Would you wear ‘em strolling thru Whole Foods? I would, but that’s why they call me “Shamey Amy.” Even in the olden times at London Fashion Week 2015, Christopher Kane made a choker out of plastic rainbow-colored cable ties and said, “They made me think of restraint and madness.” Plastic = Insanity? Cue up 1982 doc Koyaanisqatsi. • Plastic dress and gloves by Louis Vuitton SS 2016 • Plastic lobster earrings by Ineke Otte • Plastic tote bag: "Fiesta Shopper" by Sun Jellies • Plastic Earth brooch by Poppy & The Golden Fleece • Recycled ocean plastic sneakers by Adidas X Parley • Unplastic Puppy: Model's Own
2016 SS Moschino has a super cutie pie plastic “Slippery When Wet” dress. From a brilliantly cut Louis Vuitton frothy and foamy confection of a mini-frock to an Anya Hindmarch bag to Prada ... yadda yadda—there is mucho off-gassing on the runways! In 1946, French line Sun Jellies created the ubiquitous jelly shoe (yeah, they were the first, not you Jelly Bean of the bitchin’ ’80s. Sorry). A leather shortage in France was indeed the catalyst for these plasticfantastique bags and shoes. Limitations can birth brilliance in art, food and design. Grab some Sun Jellies and dance a wee jig why doncha! They cost about the same as three lattes. On the eco, save-the-world tip, Adidas has collaborated with ocean awareness partner Parley and has unveiled a sneaker made entirely of recycled ocean plastics. They dropped in June 2016 and are waaay limited edition; let the Googling begin! On home soil, Poppy and the Golden Fleece by local talent Jennabel Pichnar ík has been cooking up some rad plastic brooches that would make Judy Jetson swoon. Her medium is entirely plastic earth. You know, the stuff of the Meow Wolf melodious and phosphorescent shrooms. She counts Elsa Schiaparelli as one of her biggest inspirations. Couple that with a 1960s nod to Mod dipped in a 1940s palette, and we have a postmodern fiesta of fabulosity! Each and every piece is one-of-a-kind couture and made by hand, and they can only be obtained from the creator herself via lacerags.bandit@gmail.com. Next I’ll talk about how chemtrails are actually the most incredible moisturizer.

THE CALENDAR
DEAR READERS: I’m on vacation for the next three weeks—but you won’t be reading old columns while I’m away. You’ll be getting a new column every week, all of them written by Dan Savage, none of them written by me. Dan Savage is a sports writer and the assistant director of digital content for OrlandoMagic.com, and he will be answering your questions this week. Dan has covered six NBA finals and 10 NBA All-Star Games; he’s appeared on CBS, ESPN, NBA TV, and First Take; and his writing has been published at ESPN. com, CBS.com, NBA.com, and OrlandoMagic. com. This is Dan’s first time giving sex-andrelationship advice. “Other sports writers often tell me they enjoyed reading my latest column,” Dan Savage told me in an e-mail, “but when they show me the article, it’s one of your sex-advice columns. The joke is going to be on them this time around when it’s actually my advice!” I’m a straight guy in my 40s, and I’ve been with my wife for more than 20 years. I’m incredibly attracted to my wife. Recently, I’ve been a bit frustrated with us not having sex as frequently as I’d like. So I broached the subject with her. I tried to be easygoing about it, but maybe I fucked that up. Basically, I told her that I fantasize about her daily and would like to have sex more often. I cited two examples of frustration. Two weeks ago, I came on to her and tried to initiate, but we had a dinner party to go to and she didn’t want to be late. One week ago, I was flirting with her but was rebuffed because we were going out to dinner and… she wanted to go to dinner more than fuck, I guess. I made my wife cry by bringing this up. End result is that she doesn’t want to fuck more than we already do, there’s nothing I can do to make sex more appealing for her, and it hurt her for me to bring the subject up at all. I dropped it, apologized, and moved on. I don’t want to coerce her into anything (I want her to want me), so here we are. How can I communicate better in the future? -Using My Words Communication in any relationship is key. On the basketball court, one of the first things young players are taught is to communicate effectively with their teammates. They’re required to call out plays, offensive assignments, and defensive rotations in order to prevent breakdowns and keep the system working smoothly. In relationships, the same principles hold true. You have to be able to effectively communicate with your partner in order to keep both parties happy. And just like everything else in life, timing is everything. First, I’d make sure you communicate your needs at a time other than when you’ve just been rebuffed. You’re then likely to be less emotional, think more rationally, and more effectively explain your needs without applying added pressure. Second, I’d try making your next move when other plans are not on the table. In both the examples you mention, UMW, the timing of your request appears to have been an issue for her. Schedule some time for an intimate dinner at home or cap off an exciting evening out on the town with romantic advances. If she does not respond to your improved efforts, then she’s not being a good teammate. A successful relationship is when both members’ needs are met, not just one.
term monogamy wasn’t going to be for me. I get bored, I like attention, and I love the chase. He was against it. I thought, okay, we have a lot of other positive stuff going for us and maybe he would reconsider in the future. I feel like I’ve lost a part of my sexual self—no adventures, no three-ways, I miss girls, etc. I feel that what I want—newness, some kink he isn’t trained in, being with a girl, etc.—he can’t give me. So I brought up opening up the relationship again. My thought is I could get what I need/want and get my engine revving again, and hopefully bring that excitement and spark back to our relationship. He listens to your podcasts now, but he doesn’t think he could handle the idea of me with someone else. I don’t think I can handle the relationship as it is now, though, and this was my suggestion to try to make it stronger. I feel like I’ve already ended the relationship just by bringing this up. Are we doomed? -A Girl Has Needs I appreciate you having your boyfriend listen to my podcasts—oh wait, that was probably meant for the other Dan Savage. Never mind. My podcasts probably wouldn’t have helped with this issue. Your question reminds me of a topic that’s currently top of mind in my profession: NBA free agency. In the basketball world, it’s the time of year when teams can go after the best available prospects not under contract and offer them a deal to join their team. Organizations heavily vet these players, talking to their former teammates, coaches, and others to make sure that their values match up. There’s nothing worse than being locked into a five-year guaranteed contract with a guy who doesn’t fit with your franchise. Actually, on second thought, there is—getting married to a guy who doesn’t share the same relationship goals and values. If your boyfriend is someone who has no interest in open relationships—and from all indications, he’s doesn’t—odds are he’s never going to be happy in that type of situation. And if you’re never going to be happy with monogamy, then you need to find someone whose values match your own. Unfortunately, some people are destined to play man-to-(wo)man, while others are more satisfied in a 2-3 zone. I’ve been hooking up with a good friend for about a year. We’re both single, and he lives in another state but comes to town for work every month or two, and we usually hang out and have really great sex when he’s here. One of the things I’ve always admired about him is his eco-conscious lifestyle… which includes showering only about once a week to save water. His BO is pretty inoffensive (it’s actually a nice scent), but I find that most times we hook up, I get a raging UTI within a day or two. It’s happened enough times that I’m wondering if his infrequent washing could be allowing bacteria to live on his junk, causing my infections. Is that possible? Do I need to have a talk with him about washing more frequently/thoroughly? -Hurts To Pee The simple answer is yes, HTP. It’s great to have an eco-conscious lifestyle, but not at the expense of your urinary tract. If he cares about you as much as he does about the environment, then with a quick chat, he’ll probably focus a little more on his personal hygiene. Especially if you explain to him that the overuse of antibiotics contributes to creating antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which can cause issues for the entire planet.

On Saturday, Aug. 13, Mayor Javier Gonzales will officially name the date Video Library Day in Santa Fe. It’s quite an honor for the local movie rental joint and its owner Lisa Harris. We’ve always loved the Vid-Lib (839 Paseo de Peralta, 983-3321) for its personlized service, outstanding selection and for carving a niche in our community the likes of which has yet to ever be approached by the bigger guys. We caught up with Harris to congratulate her on this prestigious honor. (Alex De Vore) First of all, congrats! How do you feel? It’s pretty astounding, considering ... This has been my entire adult life; I unlocked the doors when I was 21. To go from being the first video rental place in the state to one of the last—I think there’s still one in Taos—but we’re now going to be the only place in town. Did you ever think you’d make it to 35? Nope. If you had told me when I was in my 20s that I’d be here this long, I’d have said you were out of your mind. And y’know, I feel very lucky, because I love talking movies and I love talking to people. With age comes great wisdom (author’s note: Harris laughs really hard here), and I do realize how lucky we’ve been to have created this special little bubble inside the little bubble that’s Santa Fe.

Totally. So what’s up with the next 35 years? We’ll be hanging in there, I hope. Y’know, as long as they keep putting out a tangible product, we’ll be hanging in there. I’ll tell you, the best professional advice I can give is that if something suceeds someplace else, it’ll probably fail if you try it in Santa Fe, and if something fails someplace else, it’ll probably work in Santa Fe.

GWYNETH DOLAND
FOOD
Alight for lunch at Ravens Rock Café BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
O
n the day that I decided to try this new-ish café and barbecue joint, I had been running errands around town and was hot, tired and hungry by the time I got all the way out to this rustic outpost on the Turquoise Trail. It’s most of the way to Cerrillos, just past Bonanza Creek (3810 Hwy. 14, 471-3085). It’s far enough out there—about 20 miles from the SFR office downtown, past the county jail and Old Main—that your brain is able to chill out a little. Things are much slower and much mellower out at Ravens Rock, housed in a funky old building that has been home to several other things (including Babaluu’s Cocina Cubana) and is currently shared with Antigua Coffee Co. There is a huge flagstone patio that is half-shaded and rimmed by a banco with a kiva fireplace. Inside, the atmosphere is that of a rambling ranch house: rough-sawn beams, floors of brick and wide wood planks, a huge stone fireplace in one room. Bluegrass is the jangling soundtrack. On the day we visited, there were only a few other patrons: a guy in scrubs waiting for a take-out order, an older woman camped out reading a book, a cowboy making nice with everyone. The menu matches the ranch house vibe. The specialty here is barbecue done with an uncharacteristically light touch. The best way to try a little of almost everything is to order a Ravens Rock combo platter ($16.95), which comes with two meats (pulled pork, brisket, sirloin, chicken) and add on a side of two ribs ($4.95). The pork and brisket are the obvious first choices for the combo and they are both well executed. The pork is left in small chunks, not pulled to shreds, and it has a nice red smoke ring around the edges. It’s moist but not soaking in a pool of fat. The brisket is pleasantly juicy and also subtly smoked. This is a tough thing to pull off since brisket takes a long time to cook and it’s easy to dry it out. Ravens Rock succeeds here.
Nice to meat you.
We received a selection of three barbecue sauces. Regrettably I wasn’t paying enough attention to ask what they were but they were each far, far too sweet for our tastes. You think KC Masterpiece is too sweet? These were basically jam with a splash of vinegar. Luckily good meat doesn’t need sauce. The combo platter comes with two sides but you can add more for $2.50 each. They are good, although they all generally suffer from an excess sweetness. The potato salad has an unusual but lovely lemon dressing. The coleslaw, made simply with white and red cabbage, has a pleasant tang. The ranch beans reflect the smokiness of pieces of pork belly even if the actual pork is hard to locate. The most notable side is a hot cheddar pineapple casserole. I don’t even know how to properly describe this. It looks like a lumpy lemon bar but has no crust; it tastes like pineapple upside down cake but obviously contains shredded cheese. It is tooth-achingly sweet but also a little salty. As a side to ribs it’s a little odd, but as an offbeat dessert I sort of like it. The rest of the menu includes a tempting Philly cheesesteak ($11.95) made with smoked sirloin (and Russian dressing?!) and a short list of burgers and other sandwiches, many made with the smoked meats. There is breakfast, too, with huevos ($7.95), breakfast burritos ($7.95) and blue corn pancakes ($6.95).
Things are much slower and much mellower out at Ravens Rock.
A dinner-sized salad showered with shards of applewood-smoked trout ($12.95) had none of the parched, acrid quality that can ruin delicate fish. The meat was sweet, plump and well-matched with a big pile of greens and a Vidalia onion vinaigrette. The candied pecans and local goat cream cheese were probably unnecessary distractions but the sliced apple was a smart inclusion for its crunch and sweet contrast to the fish. Apparently the guy in scrubs had been sent to pick up lunch for an entire hospital full of people because the kitchen seemed overwhelmed by his order. After he left, arms full, things sped up a little. Our server was very friendly and welcoming but she had the air of someone who was just filling in. Maybe she was. Waiting tables is almost certainly not her profession. We sat for an incredibly long time, more than half an hour, with nothing but drinks on the table and no update on the food. I was fantasizing about a hunk of bread or a basket of chips. The kitchen must speed up or increase its capacity and the service could use an upgrade, but Ravens Rock offers good smoked meats in a charming setting. For folks who commute down Highway 14 or those who just need a little jaunt out of town, this watering hole is a fine spot to tie up your horse for a bit.

meh Suicide Squad Review: Comically Bad DC continues to struggle when it comes to handling the world of film by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com
Despite the utter nonsense that was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and reportedly frantic last-minute reshoots, fan hopes for Suicide Squad, the newest effort from the DC Comics expanded universe, remained high. It looked soooo cool, right? Right. Too bad, then, that the much-ballyhooed story of government-sanctioned bad guys forced to operate as good guys is so very disappointing.
When a pair of mind-bogglingly powerful meta-humans (DC’s version of mutants … or gods) appears to wreak havoc on the fictional Midway City because they hate computers and cellphones and stuff, Argus agent Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) steps in with the just-plain-preposterous plan to sic a mess (or squad, if you will) of super-villains on them and save the day. It’s an exciting premise that unravels slowly and painfully due to editing issues, unclear timelines, subpar writing and mostly run-of-the-mill performances.
SCORE CARD
Joker (a dimensionless Jared Leto). Now, maybe it’s just because we’ve got visions of Heath Ledger’s Oscarwinning take on the clown prince of crime dancing in our heads. Leto is not only completely underused, but his psychoses—which we’re supposed to believe are so damn charming that they transformed upstanding psychologist Harleen Quinzell into the bloodthirsty Harley Quinn—are distilled into a baffling combination of bling-wearing, nightclub-hanging douchey-sports-carenthusiasm. Here we have a role so rich with opportunity for acting methodology and vicious fun squandered with bro-ey tattoos and unfortunate edits. Never is The Joker’s presence frightening or ominous or even essential to the story, and though newcomers will learn the bulk of Harley’s motivations come from her unhealthy obsession with him, it’s pretty damn hard to care. So much time is spent catching us up with everyone’s backstory that, by the time we’re given an actual villain, it’s practically too late, and the goodwill that was initially generated is squandered. There’s a valuable lesson here: DC Comics films really seem to suffer without Christopher Nolan.

Suicide Squad fosters a brief glimmer of hope in its opening act as we’re introduced to a rogues gallery of villainous DC who’s-who. For longtime comics fans, this is the moment we’ve been waiting for; granted, it’s a mite odd that so much exposition is spent on Harley Quinn (a fantastic Margot Robbie, who represents the very best of the cast and whom we hope will get a standalone film at some point because, let’s face it, she was pretty awesome) and Deadshot (Will Smith, who shows up and plays Will Smith as he always does) while everyone else gets a two-second “they’re bad!” backstory. But Harley and Deadshot are definitely the brand names, so what’re you gonna do? The squad also boasts various other baddies who serve very little purpose, such as Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) and Diablo (Jay Hernandez), as well as lesser-known (to the mainstream, anyway) jerks like Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney), Katana (Karen Fukuhara), Enchantress (Cara Delevingne, who plays a very important part that we won’t spoil here) and Slipknot (whose presence is so fleeting and pointless that actor Adam Beach is probably somewhere feeling sad about it right now). The cast is rounded out with good guy/soldier Rick Flag (RoboCop’s Joel Kinnaman), who leads the squad (kind of ), cameo appearances from Batman (Ben Affleck) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) and, the greatest disappointment of all, The

GHOSTBUSTERS
MICROBE AND GASOLINE This premise of this movie just isn’t breathtaking. Two boys in France build a car and take a journey. Yawn. Wake us when they get there. That made it all the more surprising that the slow little film was such a delight. Take a break from overproduced dramas with dense soundtracks for a comedic escape with Microbe and Gasoline, disparaging nicknames earned in the schoolyard by a pair of adolescents who are unlikely companions. Microbe is really Daniel (Ange Dargent), so named because of his small stature and nerdy interest in science, and Gasoline is Theo (Théophile Baquet), the new kid at school whose pleather jacket and handiness with motors leaves him resembling a grease monkey. The plot requires significant suspension of disbelief: that the teens can construct the vehicle at all, that with its assemblage of scrap lumber and windows it survives even a mile on the road, that their parents don’t completely freak out when their children disappear for a few days near the start of summer vacation. The last part is probably most unbelievable because of the differences in European and American attitudes about what kind of exploring is healthy for kids versus what kind of misbehavior requires a call to the National Guard or the issuance of
an Amber Alert. There’s also a memorable scene where Daniel’s mom wants to talk about masturbation, which is cringeworthy in either culture. But if you can tap into the fruit of their imagination and remember some modicum of the awkward difficulty and discovery of adolescence, the story is even richer. Director Michel Gondry also wrote the screenplay, which relies on imagery as much as pithy dialog. Most of the conversations in the script take place between Daniel and Theo, and the actors don’t overdo it, keeping the cadence right and the array of emotion believable. Plus, their talks are short and thoughtful. Their antics incite laughter and their heartbreaks, sighs. Going along for this ride is surely entertaining. (Julie Ann Grimm) CCA, NR, subtitled, 103 min.
JASON BOURNE The newest film in the long-running tale of that darn forgetful CIA assassin/spy who’s always trying his damndest to come in from the cold is kind of brash and confused about itself, and that means it’s just not very good. Last time out, he exposed the CIA’s Blackbriar program, a clandestine black op that turns the very best operatives into remorseless, unthinking murderers. Bourne remembers who he is now, sure, but he still
needs answers about how his dead dad fits into everything and he’s damn well going to get ‘em. Cue globe-trotting subterfuge, soundtrack-free hand-to-hand combat, an ode to a Grecian motorcycle chase and, just to complicate things further, that one other spy (Black Swan’s Vincent Cassel) who, after Bourne wiki-leaked the Blackbriar info, lost his cover and spent two years being tortured in Syria. “It’s always been personal!” he growls at Dewey from his various sniper nests and unmarked vans while he recklessly pursues Bourne. If previous Bourne films set out to gritify the spy thriller genre (and succeeded), the newest installment seemingly doesn’t recall that, and just because you can do that up close nauseatingly shaky camera stuff doesn’t mean you should. In fact, most action shots are so all-over-the-place confusing that we almost never know where to look, and while director Paul Greengrass may be someplace dusting off his hands and congratulating himself on shirking the played-out trope of a stable shot, the rest of us are wondering why he’d do us like that. We’re really hoping this will just be the end of it, although the ending leaves room for yet another sequel. We really don’t need it. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas, PG-13, 123 min.

MOVIES
yay! The science of sweet from director Michel Gondry.
DE PALMA Now nearing the age of 70, celebrated American director Brian De Palma is known for his commitment to visual storytelling, inspired by the likes of Alfred Hitchcock. He’s responsible for some of the gooey, bloodsoaked movies of the ’70s and ’80s that set the tone for what would become passé in the modern cinematic sequences of bodies stacking up faster than viewers can keep track of them. We learn in this documentary that De Palma hates contemporary action tropes like car chases, though, so even amid flying bullets and fast-motion sequences, he wants you to know where characters are and what they are really doing. Documentary directors Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow don’t delve deep into De Palma, or his relationships with people like George Lucas and Oliver Stone. Rather, it’s an austere approach with a grandfatherly looking De Palma facing the camera as he’s seated before an unlit fireplace. He works through a loose narrative about his long career, threading in and out of stories about most of his 40 films in chronological order and trashing on what’s become of Hollywood over that timespan. We’re not sure whether it’s the questions from behind the camera or deft editing that leaves one liking the guy. A big name with a seemingly small ego, De Palma’s first big hit was the 1970 adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, which forever changed the girls locker room and the prom. Then he backed it up with solid wins like Scarface in 1983 and The Untouchables in 1987. Then he hitched his wagon to the Tom Cruise machine to churn out the first Mission Impossible in 1997 before he packed it in to return to his own brand of obscurity overseas through the present. What’s most interesting about this straightforward look are the scattered behindthe-scenes images like the mom in Carrie getting pinned in the doorway by flying kitchen implements; stills of him working with actors, like a hand on Al Pacino’s shoulder as he shoots pool in Carlito’s Way; and treasures like the original ending to Snake Eyes. De Palma stays humble to the end. “The disappointing thing about teaching film,” he says, “is that 99 percent of them are not going anywhere. Anybody that has a career, it’s a miracle.” (JAG) CCA, R, 100 min.

to, uh, study … space stuff, tensions are high. James T Kirk (Chris Pine and his hairless chest) is listless, and his stalwart crew is feelin’ it, too. This is why, when the captain of an attacked ship appears alone in the Federation’s newest and most absurd space station and begs for help in retrieving her ship and crew, Kirk, Spock (a painfully boring Zachary Quinto of American Horror Story), Sulu (the always charismatic John Cho of Harold & Kumar, who is given a pointless two-second “he’s gay, how novel” backstory that even pissed off the original Sulu, George Takei), Bones (Judge Dredd’s Karl Urban), Chekov (the late Anton Yelchin), Scotty (Simon Pegg, who also boasts a writing credit for this outing) and the rest of the gang jump at the chance to lend a hand. But of course the whole deal isn’t as it seems, and the Enterprise crew winds up stranded on some distant planet thanks to Krall (Idris Elba), a mysterious space-jerk who leads a species that utilizes swarm-like military space-tactics and who wants something the Enterprise has onboard. There’s also a shipwrecked alien named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella) hanging around who loves Public Enemy, cracks wise at every turn and uses space-gadgets to space-fight everyone. Krall is pretty furious for mysterious space-reasons, and he circumvents the aging process by space-vampiring the redshirts. And it’s weak. The promised peril never feels urgent, and it isn’t even that we can blame the actors for bad performances—the writing is just boring; hackneyed, even. This is odd considering Simon Pegg’s usual caliber of work. No new ground is tread whatsoever to the point that it’s hard to tell if Beyond is even actually different from 2013’s Into Darkness, only this time we don’t have Benedict Cumberbatch’s wild and wooly magnetism to even things out. As villains go, Elba ranks among the flattest, and his ultimate motive is so thin and tiresome that they could’ve easily chosen just about anything else for better results. Thus, the film feels lazy. Plot points are telegraphed so obviously, interactions feel forced and tiresome and, worst of all, audiences are underestimated. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas, PG-13, 122 min.

We’ll admit that we were, shall we say, apprehensive about Bridesmaids director Paul Feig’s new foray into the Ghostbusters universe. In our defense, that first trailer was horrible, and we were actually pretty much prepared to write the whole thing off. Crisis averted. The new cast is completely stellar, with enjoyable and hysterical performances from everyone. Kristen

meh This exact moment Matt Damon realized he was still making Bourne films. Wiig (Bridesmaids) shines as pensive physicist Erin Gilbert who, earlier in life, wrote of the metaphysical with brash fellow scientist, Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy). Through a spooky series of events spurred by a mysteriously sinister hotel bellman, the pair, along with sassy subway worker Patty Tolan (SNL’s Leslie Jones) and ultra-weird/ultra-genius Jillian Holtzmann (a scene-stealing Kate McKinnon, also of SNL) get down to the business of bustin’ ghosts in the funniest of ways. Soon the fearsome foursome opens a lab/business of sorts, and along with their boneheaded receptionist, played brilliantly stupid by Thor’s Chris Hemsworth, they tackle horrors from the afterlife. Those who may look back to the original films with rose-colored glasses will find plenty to love here, so long as they haven’t completely made up their minds before they enter theaters (or they aren’t like those ridiculous jerks who would hate a film just for having a female
cast). An update hasn’t hurt the franchise whatsoever, and we’re a little confused by the ire since a vast number of films these days are either remakes, reboots or sourced from other material. This Ghostbusters strikes the perfect balance between new/funny enough and throwback/ fan service-y enough to click our nostalgia into high gear. Pepper in shriek-worthy cameos from almost all of the original cast and supporting roles from fairly prominent actors and comedians like Michael K Williams, Matt Walsh, Zach Woods, Cecily Strong and many more, and we’ve got one of those fun summer blockbusters like they used to make. Oh sure, there’s a whole mess of CGI and a small number of missteps to nitpick, but as an overall product, Ghostbusters completely nails it. You ain’t afraid of that, are you?

Week of August 10th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Using scissors, snip off a strand of your hair. As you do, sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Seal the hair in an envelope on which you have written the following: “I am attracting divine prods and unpredictable nudges that will enlighten me about a personal puzzle that I am ready to solve.” On each of the next five nights, kiss this package five times and place it beneath your pillow as you sing a beloved song with uplifting lyrics. Then observe your dreams closely. Keep a pen and notebook or audio recorder near your bed to capture any clues that might arrive. On the morning after the fifth night, go to your kitchen sink and burn the envelope and hair in the flame of a white candle. Chant the words of power: “Catalytic revelations and insights are arriving.” The magic you need will appear within 15 days.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Here comes a special occasion—a radical exemption that is so rare as to be almost impossible. Are you ready to explore a blessing you have perhaps never experienced? For a brief grace period, you can be free from your pressing obsessions. Your habitual attachments and unquenchable desires will leave you in peace. You will be relieved of the drive to acquire more possessions or gather further proof of your attractiveness. You may even arrive at the relaxing realization that you don’t require as many props and accessories as you imagined you needed to be happy and whole. Is enlightenment nigh? At the very least, you will learn how to derive more joy out of what you already have.
