NEWS, AUGUST 10: “BIKES IN THE WOODS”
WE ALL RIDE TOGETHER Mountain bikers didn’t mourn the establishment of the Columbine Hondo Wilderness Area, as was reported. Instead, we celebrated, along with the rest of the community, the permanent protection of a spectacular area and the establishment of a new 20-mile loop trail. With less than 2 percent wilderness, New Mexico has relatively less wilderness than other Western states. Wilderness advocates and mountain bikers share a lot of common ground and I consider myself both, just like thousands of others who cherish our country’s natural treasures. ... Without the pristine views, clean water, and abundant wildlife, our life in Santa Fe would be very different. Opponents of federal public lands, like Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), will use any means to attempt to divide and conquer these groups for the purpose of allowing commercial development of our public lands. Instead, let’s continue work together to honor these last wild places and also promote healthy outdoor activities for all citizens. DOUG BOOTH SANTA FE

NM’s former governor eyes the presidency again with higher stakes BY STEVE N H SI E H steven@ s fre p o r te r.co m
G
ary Johnson, the former New Mexico governor and current Libertarian nominee for president, stepped onstage at the Albuquerque Convention Center wearing mesh Nikes and mom jeans, the uniform apparent for a candidate whose Super PAC just spent $30,000 on “internet web memes.” Tears welled in his eyes—a reaction, he says, to hearing his two adult children speak on his behalf moments before. “Is this the craziest election ever?” asked Johnson to a crowd of hundreds on Aug. 20. “You know how crazy it is, right? I’m going to be the next president of the United States.” When Johnson ran on the Libertarian ticket in 2012, he received 1 percent of the popular vote. But in this polarizing election, Libertarian hopefuls see a rare opportunity for his third-party candidacy, which has secured ballot access with 39 states. Polls show major-party nominees Hillary Clinton, and even more so, Donald Trump, at historically low favorability levels. Johnson and his running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld, are attempting to bring their poll numbers up to 15 percent, the threshold for a spot on the debate stage in September. Johnson cut straight to his stump speech: Get rid of income and corporate taxes to create “millions” of jobs. Strip away zoning regulations and watch affordable housing rise. Enter trade deals and encourage entrepreneurship. “The model of the future is Uber everything. Uber doctor, Uber lawyer, Uber accountant, electrician, plumber,” Johnson said. “Eliminate the middleman.” Alfred Walker, an assistant attorney for the City of Santa Fe, stood in the front row, throwing his arms up in agreement with the Johnson philosophy of “keeping government out of our bedrooms and out of our pocketbooks.” Walker has always been a “small-L” libertarian, he tells SFR, but this will be his first time voting for the party proper. Clinton and Trump? “They are both exactly the same,” he says. “They’ll both increase the size of government.” Before Johnson came on stage, several New Mexico Republicans offered their support for the candidate. (The state provided his best showing in 2012, giving him about 3.55 percent of the popular vote.) Johnson, who first made a career running a construction firm, served two terms as governor from 1995 to 2003. State Sen. Lisa Torraco, R-Albuquerque, said she would “spit” at the next suggestion that a vote for Johnson is really a vote for Clinton or Trump. “Trump is a pussy!” interrupted a supporter from the back of the room, echoing a public comment made

by Johnson not once, but twice, this election cycle. (Clinton and Green Party candidate Jill Stein are the two remaining large party hopefuls who have yet to make crude reference to the female anatomy. Notice a pattern?) A Blair Dunn, son of Land Commissioner Aubrey Dunn and Republican candidate for state Senate in Bernalillo County, kicked off the event with crowdrousing calls to action. “New Mexico and Albuquerque, are you ready for some liberty?” Dunn also came with jokes. “Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that Trump and Hillary are riding a plane across the Atlantic and they crash. Who wins?” said Dunn, before revealing his punchline: “America.” And even before Dunn joked about the two major presidential candidates dying in a fiery accident, Johnson wandered among a group of lowriders outside the convention center who had recently announced their support for the Libertarian ticket. At one point, the former governor climbed inside a candy-green whip and glued his hands to the ceiling as the vehicle bounced wildly into the air. Political gods could not have dreamed up a better photo-op. “I am so honored,” Johnson repeated as supporters approached him for selfies. Backdropped by cars with Lambo doors, the governor sat down for a television interview. “I’ve never thought about asking a candidate for
president this, but how does it feel to use marijuana?” the interviewer asked. “I would say it feels pleasant,” Johnson replied. He last consumed marijuana in the form of edibles about three months ago. (The former governor, a health nut, stopped smoking.) He also served as CEO of a marijuana branding company called Cannabis Sativa Inc., but stepped down to run for president. Johnson’s opposition to the War on Drugs is perhaps his best-known position. Walker, the city attorney, says he didn’t totally agree with Johnson when he announced his support for legalizing marijuana in 1999, but he admired the governor’s conviction while Bill Clinton’s drug czar called him “Puff Daddy Johnson.” “What the governor said made me think, We need to talk about it,” said Walker, who previously served as an assistant district attorney. Another distinction of Johnson: He wants to roll back American interventionism. He’s been a critic of the Obama administration’s backing of rebel groups during the Syrian and Libyan civil wars—a move he says has helped foster extremist groups like the Islamic State. “In my lifetime, I cannot think of a single instance where when we’ve supported regime change it has resulted in anything better,” Johnson said during the rally. It’s a message that resonates with John Lovell, a 35-year-old Army veteran who spoke with SFR outside a nearby Starbucks a few hours before. Lovell sported flowing brown hair and a t-shirt emblazoned with the Libertarian mascot: a red, white and blue porcupine. He turned to the party in spite of contrary influences in his life. Lovell’s father, a Democrat, pushed him leftwards because of his family’s working class background, he says. His platoon sergeant, a Republican, nudged him to the right because of the GOP’s small-government philosophy. In 2012, Lovell heard then-Republican presidential nominee Ron Paul speak, and he found his people. “People should not have to witness what I saw over there. It was horrifying,” he tells SFR, referring to the Iraq War. Johnson, for the record, is currently the leading presidential candidate in polls among active military personnel.

‘The hope of a new school year’ Veronica Garcia says she’ll keep district on course for gains BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m
A
s Veronica Garcia takes the helm of Santa Fe Public Schools as superintendent just as the school year starts, she says her first priority lies in ensuring teachers, staff, students and the community feel a sense of stability despite a change in leadership. “Our focus has to be on the children,” she tells SFR. “We need to keep our focus on teaching and learning so at the end of the school year, people feel we made progress.” With the district four years in to the five-year plan former Superintendent Joel Boyd had been charged with implementing, this year starts with major changes: the merger of two middle schools, new principals at the helm of several schools (including Santa Fe High), the new Early College vocational training program and the ongoing rollout of the district’s digital learning plan that aims to put technology in the hands of every student. Schools are working with district staff on keeeping up with the strategic plan—for now, Garcia says, though she plans to have individual meetings with principals “to make sure they have what they need.” “It’s just bringing intentionality to the work,” she says. The district is also still working to increase its graduation rate and test scores. The latest round of scores from the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers was released late last week and found that while Santa Fe Public Schools made slight gains over last year, results still hover below the statewide averages in most subjects and see more than two-thirds of students failing to secure proficient scores on these exams.
Garcia was quickly selected as interim superintendent following Boyd’s departure in early August for a job in the private sector and a life in Florida. “She’s got the tools and skills to take the district to the next level, but her charge is not change. That was my job,” Boyd told SFR during his last day in the office. He leaves behind a school district where one in five students goes to a school that didn’t Interim Superintendent Veronica Garcia returns to the district with an exist when he was hired. “Now, it’s to conimpressive collection of desktop apples. tinue the push, and continuation of change is very different than initiation of change.” Garcia spent the first day of school—her graduate ready for college or career and who grow up third day on the job—riding the bus to and visiting to be lifelong learners, and ensuring teachers feel valclassrooms at Capital High, welcoming first graders ued and build a sense of renewed enthusiasm.

The unmistakable nip of fall is settling into Santa Fe mornings, the chamisa are starting to hint at turning their autumn gold and the big yellow school buses are rolling down city streets. The staff at SFR finds this the very best season for settling down with a few good books. I spent part of 2016 with my nose buried in a tattered copy of Moby Dick. Having avoided this cultural coin in the change purse of earlyAmerican literature for this long, I had always wanted to check it off my lifetime reading bucket list. It took months. It was torturous. More than once, I wanted to abandon the endeavor and trade it in for the 2014 Emoji Dick version that was “written” with the help of an automated Amazon translator. Yet, I made it to the end. (Spoiler alert: The whale wins.) We promise that the books we highlight in the following pages won’t be like that. They’re new works with new ideas that we think you, dear readers, will actually enjoy. Some have local connections, like the latest in the mystery novels that form the foundation for the Longmire TV series (page 14), a hiking guide with ideas for off-beat adventures where you might even learn something (page 15), and former journalist John Fleck’s analysis of successful water management in New Mexico that’s also an admonition to the future about community cooperation (page 16). Others are books we just really liked, such a graphic novel about Marines and a riveting exploration of genetics and ethics (page 17). And we couldn’t fit all the book info we wanted to impart in just this section of the paper, so check out an Arts and Culture feature on a local publishing imprint (page 25) and the Three Questions section in the calendar with former SFR columnist Rob Wilder (page 27). Finally, if you want more about Melville, don’t miss a tidbit about his romance with Nathaniel Hawthorne on page 19. Happy fall, y’all. (Julie Ann Grimm)

Speaking to Scars Not-quite-memoir cuts close to teen anguish that strikes young women
A
BY J UL I E ANN GRI MM e d itor @sf re p or te r.com
s she labored away in an administrative position at a university creative writing program, Kathleen Glasgow was trying to write her first novel. It was not the inaugural book that she published this summer, however. The pivotal moment came on a city bus on her way to work late one Midwestern spring when she saw them: angry scars on a teenage girl’s arm, scars not unlike the ones she made on her own limbs.
“I didn’t want to write this book. I was writing another novel, and I certainly didn’t want to go back into the past and dredge up all these emotional feelings, because I have worked really hard to get beyond that and not harm myself,” Glasgow tells SFR from her home in Tucson. The girl noticed that she had noticed. She tugged at her long sleeves, pulling them back into position. “I should have said something to her. I should have said to her, ‘You are not alone, and I did it and I am here and you will be here later,’” she says. “And in essence, I decided that I didn’t have that book growing up and I am going to write that book for girls and boys like her.”
control, often followed by regret and shame—a repeating cycle common for people with depression and victims of or witnesses to violence. Most agree it affects girls in disproportionate numbers. Glasgow says she distracted herself from some of the hard-to-handle “last gasps” of the book with binges on Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead.
I gave Charlie my scars and the emotions behind the scars, but her story belongs to her.
“There were times when I had to stop and walk away and not go back to it for three months. It’s very hard. It’s a subject that if you’ve been through it or you suffer depression, it can be pretty triggering. I had to be careful with writing it at the right times,” she says. Healing come in many forms. Although it’s a trite chronology for any-
one who’s heard their share of “the mountain called me” stories about how people land in Santa Fe, Charlie’s time in our city in the novel is important in the plot. Glasgow has visited often, including during her days as a student at the University of New Mexico, she says, and her next book—already under contract with Random House—is set in what she describes as a fictional Northern New Mexico town. It, too, is about a teenage girl. Glasgow says she’s drawn to write about young women because she feels “perpetually stuck in adolescence.” “I once read something that said the moment your addiction starts is the moment that you stop emotionally developing as a person. … So if I thought about it completely, adolescence for me was a time when I had no idea who I was and I was trying to bury my past in a way and have a future, but yet I was keeping myself in the same spot by harming myself and drinking too much. Adolescence is this passionate time. You want to know about the world, and you have not quite been as pared down by experience as you will be when you are an adult. You have to round off your edges to get a job or go to school. So I think it’s a brilliant time to write about and to think about.”

Books about depression and selfharm didn’t make their way to mainstream shelves until Glasgow, now 47, was in her 20s. When she found 1994’s Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel, Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen, which had published a year earlier, and the 1999 Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, she says she felt validated. Nine years after that bus ride, Girl in Pieces made its debut. Unlike the works from Wurtzel and Kaysen, Glasgow’s is not an outright memoir. Yet there are pieces of her in the plot that revolves around Charlie, a teenage girl who readers first meet mute in a psychiatric hospital. “I gave Charlie my scars and the emotions behind the scars, but her story belongs to her. Her particular trajectory in life is completely fictional and it’s not mine,” Glasgow says. “But when I was writing the book, I was really specific with myself that if I was going to talk about such an emotional subject—self harm—that I was going to be completely honest about it and I was going to go for broke, because not many people really understand why people do it and what it’s really like.” Self-harm such as Charlie’s deliberate cutting of her arms and legs with broken glass is rarely suicidal, psychologists say, but people describe it as bringing a sense of relief and
EXC ERP T LIKE A BABY HARP SEAL, I’M ALL WHITE. MY FOREARMS are thickly bandaged, heavy as clubs. My thighs are wrapped tightly, too; white gauze peeks out from the shorts Nurse Ava pulled from the lost and found box behind the nurses’ station. Like an orphan, I came here with no clothes. Like an orphan, I was wrapped in a bedsheet and left on the lawn of Regions Hospital in the freezing sleet and snow, blood seeping through the flowered sheet. The security guard who found me was bathed in menthol cigarettes and the flat stink of machine coffee. There was a curly forest of white hair inside his nostrils. He said, “Holy Mother of God, girl, what’s been done to you?” My mother didn’t come to claim me. But: I remember the stars that night. They were like salt against the sky, like someone spilled the shaker against very dark cloth. That mattered to me, their accidental beauty. The last thing I thought I might see before I died on the cold, wet grass. *** THE GIRLS HERE, THEY TRY TO GET ME TO TALK. They want to know What’s your story, morning glory? Tell me your tale, snail. I hear their stories every day in Group, at lunch, in Crafts, at breakfast, at dinner, on and on. These words that spill from them, black memories, they can’t stop. Their stories are eating them alive, turning them inside out. They cannot stop talking. I cut all my words out. My heart was too full of them. *** I ROOM WITH LOUISA. LOUISA IS OLDER AND HER HAIR IS LIKE A red-and-gold noisy ocean down her back. There’s so much of it, she can’t even keep it in with braids or buns or scrunchies. Her hair smells like strawberries; she smells better than any girl I’ve ever known. I could breathe her in forever. My first night here, when she lifted her blouse to change for bed, in the moment before that crazy hair fell over her body like a protective cape, I saw them, all of them, and I sucked my breath in hard. She said, “Don’t be scared, little one.” I wasn’t scared. I’d just never seen a girl with skin like mine.

The Hour of Land A Personal Topography of America’s National Parks AUTHOR: TERRY TEMPEST WILLIAMS
That who we are as a people, what we have become as a nation, and where and how we govern ourselves is echoed in our public lands resonates through Terry Tempest Williams’ latest book, The Hour of Land. The stories of ourselves are etched in those miles, in America’s “evolving idea,” as Williams writes. In a book commemorating the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, created Aug. 25, 1916, Williams tours national parks from Big Bend at the Mexico border in Texas to Gates of the Arctic. Some of them provide familiar territory for Williams, like the towering peaks of Grand Teton National Park she grew up hiking. Some, like Big Bend’s towering sandstone canyons, offer new terrain for her to explore. And some are made new by the company she keeps, as she returns to Gettysburg National Military Park with her adopted son from Rwanda, a sur-
vivor of the genocide there, who asks how any war can be “civil.” True to her form, meditative prose poems consume some chapters and we’re left only with glimpses of the sea birds. But what emerges clearly is that we are not yet done with damaging these places. We’re still desecrating the few burial mounds preserved in Iowa’s Effigy Mounds, threatening to slice up Big Bend in the name of a border wall to block immigration, and encroaching on the solitude Theodore Roosevelt sought in the North Dakota park that now bears his name with drilling rigs and natural gas flares. Over and over again, she makes clear the need to preserve these places, not just for the sake of the land, but for the sake of ourselves. It’s not just the plants and animals that need these spaces, she insists, invoking Wallace Stegner. We need them, too. (Elizabeth Miller)

The Highwayman AUTHOR: CRAIG JOHNSON
Every night, at 12:34 am, Highway Patrol Trooper Rosey Wayman receives the same call for help over her patrol car radio. She’d normally rise to the occasion, but the caller’s voice sounds eerily like that of Trooper Bobby Womack, who died 35 years ago. Has Wayman lost her mind, or is Womack’s ghost trying to tell her something? The Highwayman is the 14th installment in Craig Johnson’s Longmire series, which began in 2006, and serves as the inspiration for the popular television show, now in its fifth season, filmed at Greer Garson Studio at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design and on location throughout New Mexico. Sheriff Walt Longmire
and Henry Standing Bear seek to uncover the mystery of Womack’s death and affirm Wayman’s sanity. Johnson’s greatest strength lies with his dialogue, which comes off as folksy and natural, but don’t expect him to introduce the protagonists. He doesn’t spend much time describing characters or setting, leaving the reader unmoored from one scene to the next. The conclusion of the story also leaves one asking, “Oh, it was that guy?” It might be best to catch this one when they adapt it for television, but if you’re looking for a carefree read peppered with snappy dialogue, it’s good for a lazy afternoon. (Andrew Koss)
LaRose AUTHOR: LOUISE ERDRICH
When a shot fired at a deer in the field behind his house accidentally kills his neighbor’s 5-year-old son, Landreaux Iron turns to the Ojibwe traditions for a path toward atonement, and gives his youngest son to his neighbors to raise as their own. “Our son will be your son now,” he and his wife declare. The roughshod justice mercilessly intertwines the two families (already tangled through estranged half-sisters) around a boy named for generations of healers. In Louise Erdrich’s recognizable blending of past and present, the narrative leaps back centuries to weave in the story of the earliest namesake for the boy, LaRose. Her deft hand is again at play creating characters who feel familiar while riding far beyond the bounds of any stereotypical boxes for them. A narrative that, by certain
measures, hovers around a recovered alcoholic Native American, depressed housewife, angst-ridden teenagers and a precocious child explodes into terrain that reminds us of the intractable draw of our ancestors, the inescapable reach of our own grief and how the stains of suspicion and guilt can corrupt even the boldest gesture toward redemption. Those familiar with Erdrich’s previous works, including National Book Award winner The Round House, will recognize some names in this latest entry into her ongoing saga of Native and white families in North Dakota. Above all, Erdrich’s work shows clear mastery in this highly literary exploration of the limits of our generosity and the rippling damage of bones badly set as they heal. (EM)

Hiking to History A Guide to Off-Road New Mexico Historic Sites AUTHOR: ROBERT JULYAN
With due deference to the Sierra Club’s Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area as the dominant hiking guide for our readers, this work is a worthy addition to the outdoor reference collection for locals in that it’s really only sort of a hiking guide. If you’ve already taken your inlaws to Bandelier too many times, the book might also up your tourism hospitality game. Robert Julyan presents essays and general directions on 22 interesting day trips that hopscotch through time and place with way more details than you find on trailhead signs or roadside markers. “I’ve always felt that history is best experienced on foot, if for no other reason than that was usually how it was made,” he writes in the introduction. In the right crowd, you might even read parts of the short pieces aloud to your companions during the road trip. While Julyan hits the obvious highlights of state’s history includ-
ing the turquoise mine near Cerrillos, the Manhattan project and Billy the Kid’s Wild West in Lincoln County, the spots he suggests for visits are not just off-road, as the title boasts, but also offbeat. Travel along the same road that brought New York City artists to Taos in the 1890s to a boulder that marks where a broken wagon wheel set off a reimagined creativity in the region for many easterners who would follow. Walk through the Pecos Wilderness to the picturesque meadow known as the home of Beattys Cabin and get a primer on how the elk that stalk there now are only present because of help from a herd in Wyoming when the native elk had been hunted to extinction. Not all the places are accessible for all travelers, but most don’t require epic training either. Or, one could simply enjoy the encyclopedic stroll through the imagination without leaving the library. (JAG) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Challenging the West’s Water Myths Journalist sets out to write the stories of adaptability and adjustment
W
BY ELIZ ABE TH M I LLE R eli zab et h @s fre p o r te r.co m
KARL FLESSA
hen longtime water-beat reporter John Fleck found himself spending a spare afternoon in Prague along the Vltava River, near the place where a narrow, fordable section drew people and the City of Bridges followed, the idea that water is at the core of our communities clicked into place. “If you’re a journalist and a storyteller, thinking about a community and trying to understand how a community functions, you can always start with the water,” Fleck says. “Water was always this central organizing principle from which everything else follows.” We gravitated then, just as travelers gravitate now, to the banks of the Thames in London or the waterfront in Seattle, he says. Cities are where they are because of the water they access— like Santa Fe, situated where the river runs out of the mountains.
John Fleck is pouring out his knowledge on Western water management.
“If you want to understand a city, you can always start with its water and think about how it grew and evolved, how people came together collectively to manage the water, to build around it, to think about it,” he says. “Then this thing happens often, and that’s especially true in the West, where we kind of overshoot our water.” In the three decades he spent reporting on water, including a long stretch at the Albuquerque Journal, perhaps the steadiest stream had predictions for drought, and then, in recent years, drought. “I realized we were confronting that drought that we always feared, and that the kind of chaos and crisis that everyone expected wasn’t happening,” he says. “I got really interested in the question of why that is, how that is, what is it that we’re doing that’s different than what I had expected, and sort of confronting my own assumptions that grew out of that apocalyptic narrative of Cadillac Desert and Chinatown.” He’s since left newspapers in part to have time to write a book on all he’d learned, but also to teach the next generation of water managers at the University of New Mexico. He wrote Water is for Fighting Over and Other Myths about Water in the West as a way of telling, in depth, case studies of the planes that don’t crash and the cars that don’t wreck: the many success stories for water management. Fleck characterizes the book as a balance to the “narrative of doom” prevailing in nonfiction about the West, pushing back with figures like that Albuquerque’s per-capita water use has reduced by half since the mid-1990s; that while the population of Las Vegas, Nevada, has increased by 600,000, the city’s water consumption has dropped by 33 percent, and in the farm country of Imperial Valley, on the Colorado River Basin, water use has declined 20 percent since the early 2000s. He writes about how Californian communities have collaborated on how to re-water their aquifers to keep the ocean out. “We know we have the tools to use less water. Everybody can use less water. And once we recognize that, then it’s
E XCE R PT: CHA PT E R 1, REJ OIN IN G TH E SEA The Myths The catastrophe narrative isn’t just inaccurate—it promotes myths that actually stand in the way of solving our problems. Most obvious is the myth that “water’s for fighting over.” The quote is wrongly attributed to Mark Twain, but it’s also just plain wrong. Fighting rarely solves water problems, and scholars have found that collaborative agreements are far more common than winner-takeall fights, whether in the courts or with guns. A corollary myth is that “water flows uphill toward money,” as if the rich will inevitably run roughshod over their neighbors in the coming water wars. But a century of water allocation law and policy shows this is simply false for the vast majority of the water in the United States.
One need simply look at farming’s share of Colorado River water (some 70 to 80 percent) compared with its share of the economies of the US basin states (2 percent) to see the fallacy in that truism. The far-richer cities have far less water than their farming cousins. The most pervasive of the myths is that we are “about to run out of water.” I’ve heard it countless times, and it usually follows a predictable pattern. Today, we need this much water to support this many people and this much farming. As either grows, we’ll need more water, the narrative would suggest. ... [T]hat deeply held fear of “running out” of water feeds back into the first myths, triggering a limbic response to protect “our share” against others.

easier to compromise and collaborate with your neighbors,” he says. “There’s this instinct to want to go to the barricades and fight for a lot of people, but if we can get beyond that expectation of the classic quote that Mark Twain never said, that beer is for drinking and water is for fighting over, then you can create the space for collaborative solutions.” When John Wesley Powell first explored the American West in the 19th century, he declared no cities could ever rise from so arid a landscape. He’s right and he’s wrong, Fleck says. The 20th century industriously produced a system of dams and canals that do allow for people to live in dry climates, as well as grow crops and raise livestock there. But, he adds, “We’ve also demonstrated that Powell was right, that we can’t support as much as we thought we could. … So can we, through these collaborative human relationships in our communities and our water management communities, figure out to walk ourselves back from the brink? Because if we try to keep expanding acreage and diverting more water out of our rivers, that’s going to fail.” There’s a limit out there somewhere, and communities will have to decide which end to constrain: growth, or water consumption. “I think that’s the choice that every single community faces,” he says. “There is no more water, because of climate change, there is probably less water, so communities that have a water supply need to recognize that there’s risk that that water supply could be smaller. And they could choose to continue to have lawns and swimming
pools and palm trees and not grow, or if they want to grow, they can choose to conserve water, to use less water, to manage their water better to allow the growth that they want.” The newest piece of that conversation about how to allocate water stems from its oldest uses, and that has meant trying to allocate some water to the rivers themselves. “This is one of the hardest parts of the problem, because we have all these legal and policy structures that were built before we had this broad set of environmental values. So figuring out how to carve out some water for this—it sounds weird to call it a new use because it’s really the oldest of uses, but in our human management of water it is kind of conceptually new—is really important,” Fleck says. We’ve seen that in the Santa Fe River, which now has the Living River Ordinance, and in San Luis Río Colorado in Mexico, where a dry riverbed in a town named for the presence of a river saw water for the first time in decades after a historic agreement among the Colorado River’s shareholders led to dam releases just for that purpose. “You have to think about how to use less water in some other area in order to enable that, and these are hard conversations about values as communities,” he says. Environmentalists thought it would never happen, and now they’ve seen it once. Doing it again may be the challenge. “I think we can,” Fleck says. “If that’s what we decide we care about, we can do it.”

Terminal Lance
The Gene
The White Donkey
An Intimate History
AUTHOR: MAXIMILIAN URIARTE
AUTHOR: SIDDHARTHA MUKHERJEE
While Marine-turned-comics artist Maximilian Uriarte draws all the characters in his new graphic novel, Terminal Lance: The White Donkey, with a high level of detail, he handles the backgrounds of locations like Hawaii, Oregon and Iraq in a sort of washedout, dreamlike fashion. Minimal colors represented in watercolor set the mood for most scenes and make limited instances of vivid color hit much harder. The tale of a young Marine named Abe who enlists to fill some unknowable void within himself, Uriarte’s creation is semi-autobiographical and acutely terrifying throughout each of its sections. Uriarte shirks the convention of graphic novel narration to focus on conversational dialog of Marines; rarely have we seen a more intimate or authentic view into the day-to-day
Mongrels AUT HOR: STEPHEN GRAHAM JONES The troubles with being a werewolf in modern Americas are multifold—not only are there the standard-issue gauntlets of hunting and being chased for having hunted, but there are the woes of
of our armed forces. The portrayal of the actual people behind the war and their reasons to fight is stark and honest, and we learn that even mundane routines have the potential to become emotional minefields. Abe’s descent from bright-eyed, optimistic youth to unraveling, explosive drunk grappling with PTSD is difficult yet movingly real. His failed attempts to re-assimilate into civilian life are disarmingly genuine and patiently crafted. Uriarte’s first foray into a format longer than his recurring Terminal Lance strip (which appears in the Marine Corps Times), The White Donkey is nearly impossible to put down. As we root for characters that seem unflinchingly true to life, Abe’s story remains gripping right up to the very last emotionally charged page. (Alex De Vore)
holding down a job, maintaining a credit score, keeping school records and retrieving shed clothing. There is, as well, the ongoing worry of getting caught.

Physician Siddhartha Mukherjee masterfully traces the progression of “one of the most powerful and dangerous ideas in the history of science.” This story begins in 19th-century Austria, where an Augustinian abbot named Gregor Mendel quietly established the rules of inheritance. From that point, Mukherjee invites readers to discover every major insight of genetics alongside the scientists who brought them to light. The author, who won a Pulitzer prize for The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer, writes a scientific procedural as thrilling as any mystery novel, each revelation—from the discovery of DNA to a complete map of the human genome—representing another piece of the puzzle. Along the way, Mukherjee explores some of the social consequences of genetics. On one side of the coin, we’ve
werewolves. He told Westword, “I had so much werewolf stuff in my head. I had to unpack it. I finally had enough nerve to tackle what I saw as my big werewolf novel, the one I was meant to write.” The story is of a transient, mismatched family: the narrator is raised by his aunt and uncle, his mother having died the day he was born, as is expected in werewolf families. They traverse the southern portions of America, avoiding snowfall as they roam from the house in Arkansas where the narrator’s storytelling grandfather dies mid-morph, prematurely aged out of existence at 55
sequenced diseases, found a scientific basis for sexual preference and traced all humans to a common African ancestor. On the other: Carrie Buck and Hitler. And then there are the ethics of now. Scientists are on the cusp of “broadly manipulating” the genome of a human embryo. It’s technology that could potentially eliminate certain diseases, like Huntington’s and cystic fibrosis, while also paving our way to designer babies. Coming from a lineage speckled with mental illness, Mukherjee is intimately connected to his subject. Stories of his family’s struggles with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia weave throughout the scientific narrative, adding a personal touch to the story, and perhaps offering readers a point of connection. (Steven Hsieh)
and already too old to continuing “wolfing out.” All the while, the narrator edges toward age 16 and the answer to the question that should, by then, arrive— whether he’ll transform, like his aunt and uncle do, or whether, as was the case with his mother, the genes have skipped him. And which side does he want to land on anyway? It’s not all trouble and terror, as Jones layers in a good dose of the humor no doubt required by a contingent that suffers great difficulty keeping tabs on a pair of pants. (EM)

Better yet, spend the time on Mark Beauregard’s deep dive into the relationship of the men who wrote them. He’s bound to turn a few heads with a well-researched and compelling—albeit fictionalized—account of an intense romantic intimacy between Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville in his new novel, The Whale: A Love Story. The Tucson-based author relied on historical documents such as letters and journals to replay the relationship and emphasize how Melville’s passion poured into his epic novel. (Julie Ann Grimm)

Tagaq is accompanied by percussionist Jean Martin and violinist Jesse Zubot in her reclamation performance and, she says, “they are both masters, so sensitive and so incredible. I am really lucky to be working with them, they are like family.” Beyond expressing the truth of her Inuit identity, Tagaq wants to communicate human identity overall. “I love touching on common denominators in our human experience, concentrating on our root emotions and experiences. Simple things, like we are all living and we are all going to die; like experiencing exalted joy, and anger, and jealousy. Sometimes, I feel we live in a world where emotion is oppressed and, through that, people have become anxious and insecure or unsure,” the performance artist says. “There is a loss of reality.” And when Tagaq dances and sings, she attempts to find it.

Tanya Tagaq is an Inuit rock star, in that she brings her traditional sound into contemporary time. She combines musical traditions from her Inuit identity with methods and melodies from punk and metal, creating a species of sound all her own. Tagaq has performed around the world and collaborated with household names like Björk, and she now comes to the Lensic stage to perform an auditory revision of the 1922 silent film Nanook of the North. The film, directed by Robert J Flaherty, is often called a documentary and hailed as the first of its kind, but is truly more of a docu-drama featuring staged scenes that weren’t true to the Inuit way of life. “It was a lot of people’s first introduction to the Inuit people,” Tagaq says, “and it includes a lot of stereotypes, so it’s interesting to have a contemporary soundtrack done by an Inuit person.” The film plays on screen while Tagaq sings and dances to create the live soundtrack. “People shouldn’t come unless they want to see something different,” she says. Tagaq tells SFR her performance differs from traditional throat singing, usually a friendly competition between two women who stand face to face in a call and response dialogue. “It’s a very improvised, stream-of-consciousness

ELECTRO-PUNK Pictureplane comes home to slay the Southside
more and more micro-genres. When someone asks me how to describe my music, I never know what to say, so I could say “dark rave-punk” or just “electronic music” to someone if I can tell they would have no idea what I was talking about.
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
Can you give us an example of how your own production differs from the vast majority of other electronic producers out there today?
M
aybe you’ve heard the name Pictureplane bandied about in Santa Fe in recent years as one of the more exciting and innovative purveyors of electronic music. Well, there’s a good reason for that—by infusing a punk rock mentality into a technically more house or techno style, Pictureplane (aka Travis Egedy, a former Santa Fean) elevates the world of electronic music above tired club bangers or mindless repetition. Yes, the sound is familiar, but a lot more is going on under the hood. Thus, it’s kind of a big deal. Pictureplane appears at Meow Wolf this week alongside Los Angeles noise act Health and, as such, some Qs and As went down all hard. SFR: Electronic music is so varied and, other than metal, it seems to contain more weird little sub-genres than almost anything else. How would you describe your music? Pictureplane: That is very true. The thing with electronic music is that it also morphs and changes as the technology used to make it changes. That is a main reason why it keeps splintering and fractaling off into
My influences are a bit different than a lot of other electronic producers. I’m really influenced by obscure noise music and industrial, punk and metal and hip-hop. I come at it from more of an underground DIY mentality. I make everything by myself in my bedroom studio, so it is a lot more lo-fi and dirty than a lot of what people are used to hearing at a big festival or on the radio or something like that. Outside of music, you create visual art, clothing as well as a Magic: The Gathering-esque card game called Street Magic. It almost seems like you just can’t turn it off. It’s true that I can’t turn off my creativity, but I also force myself to stay busy. I have to hustle and grind; I have no other option. I live in New York City and art is my job! I studied painting in art school, and my art education was really helpful with what I do as a musician. I think that getting to travel the world as a musician, and my years of playing shows, meeting other bands and artists and just my love of music and subculture really inspires a lot of what I do with my
In a March 2015 interview with website technomancer.com, you briefly discussed how your music can wind up sounding like pop even when you try to avoid it. “Pop” is kind of a nebulous term, and in the interview you note that you like your music to be accessible. Can you give us an idea of what the term “pop” means to you in terms of your process and eventual product? Well, I am interested in hooks. I like to have repeated choruses in my music, and I do want it to be catchy. “Pop” means popular, of course, and I do want people to like and enjoy my music. I am not trying to alienate people with it—it is for everyone. You’re from Santa Fe, but you’ve also lived in Denver and NYC and toured extensively. Do you think there’s a real chance Santa Fe will evolve? What I have noticed is that every city is changing now. Every single one. There is somewhat of an urban revolution going on; some of it is really bad—like reckless gentrification—and some of it is good, like how there are way more small businesses and people are eating better in cities. Santa Fe is unique because I do feel that the average-aged person there is a lot older, which is fine, but for Santa Fe to really evolve it needs to embrace and support its youth and young people trying to make things happen there. Is there anything on the horizon for Pictureplane that you think we should really know about? I’m working on a new EP right now and a new fall line for my clothing brand, ALIEN BODY, which can be found at alienbody.net. Thank you! I love Santa Fe always.

MICHAEL SUMNER
Twice Burned Burning Books sets its autobiography ablaze in new exhibition BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart
M
ichael Sumner and Melody Sumner Carnahan recently put their house on the market and moved into a walkup off Cordova. The glass front door bears a logo for Burning Books, their long-running publishing imprint, and two bikes lean at the bottom of a long staircase. A bright space on the second floor functions as their kitchen, bedroom and dining quarters. This place feels detached from Santa Fe, like a cube of San Francisco floating above the desert Southwest. For their latest project, Michael combed through a vast trove of photographs that chronicles their lives in California and New Mexico. Melody examined the pictures as though they were found objects, assigning new names to recurring faces and weaving a fresh mythology from almost-forgotten moments. The project became a book called Twice Through the Maze and inspired a photography exhibition at Phil Space (1410 Second St., 983-7945) that opens Oct. 14 at 5 pm. One summer morning, Michael and Melody sip espressos and flip through a mountain of books on their dining table, reassembling the life story that they just dismantled. “We both grew up in Colorado,” says Michael. “California was sort of the dreamland for many years.” After Sumner got his MFA from the University of Oregon and they traveled through Europe, they moved to Palo Alto in 1978. Life in the sleepy community provoked the duo to dream up a rebellious art project: They plastered wheat pastes of Édouard Manet’s “The Fifer” all over town. This assault on the mundane was their first artistic collaboration, and caused a satisfying stir. “Boredom is very important,” Michael notes. “Even Gertrude Stein said it’s important to get bored, and then you start coming up with stuff.” Ennui incited their next collaboration as well: a mysterious letter sent to 100 people. It contained a form that listed the years 1970 to 1979, with a blank line next to each year. Nearly everyone filled it out and returned it, from family members to famous artists such as John Baldessari, Carl Andre and Vito Acconci. Their creative responses to the ambiguous challenge became The Form, the first Burning Books title, published in 1979. Melody had been determined to study writing at Stanford University, but ended up in a masters program at Mills College in Oakland in ’79. “Mills has an internationally known book arts program, and we learned how to do letterpress printing and everything,” Melody says. She also studied media arts and creative writing, seeking ways to bring new interactivity to the written word. “The writing people weren’t that interested in what I did,” she says, “so the people at the Center of Contemporary Music were my friends.” For her thesis, Melody wrote a book called The Time is Now and asked a number of musicians to compose accompanying songs. Later, she and Michael

THE CALENDAR his friend if you broke up. I wouldn’t feel guilty at all about dumping him. Sometimes you gotta think about number one.
DEAR READERS: This is the final week of my summer vacation—but you’ve been getting a new column every week I’ve been gone, all of them written by Dan Savage, none of them written by me. Our final guest Dan Savage is an independent designer, illustrator, and animation director based in Brooklyn, New York. He created Yule Log 2.0 (watchyulelog.com), a collaborative art project where animators around the world reimagine the famous Yule log fireplace. He has worked with the New York Times, Herman Miller, and Google, he’s taught design and animation at NYU and SVA, and he’s won a bunch of design industry awards you probably haven’t heard of. “I was excited to do this, even though I have no authority on the topic,” said Daniel Savage, award-winning independent designer. “But I surprisingly felt pretty confident in my answers, as ridiculous as they may be.” I’m a 41-year-old straight woman who stayed a virgin way longer than I should have (thank you, church and cultural slut shaming). I wasn’t 100 percent “good,” i.e., I was one of those “not PIV = not really sex” girls, so I indulged in outercourse and other “cheats.” When I finally realized that “not until marriage” wasn’t working for me and did the real thing, I discovered I loved it. Go me, right? Unfortunately, I’m not good at dating, so I usually go a long time between relationships. The relationship I’m in now is the first one I’ve had in two years. “Guy” is nice to me—calls me beautiful, sticks up for me, comes to watch me play with a community orchestra (my own family and friends don’t even come to my shows). But we don’t have much in common (hobbies, political outlook, religious beliefs) and sometimes our conversations feel labored. But that’s okay, right? At least I’m getting my sexual needs met, right? Well, no. Every single time we’ve tried to have sex, Guy either can’t get hard or stays hard for only a few minutes. I’ve tried going down on him, using my hands, different positions—nothing works. He’s never had an orgasm with me. We don’t even kiss that much. I don’t say anything because I don’t want to hurt his feelings and because I’m really grateful to him for wanting to be with me and being nice to me. He says sorry and that he’s asked the doctor about it, but we don’t get anywhere. It feels lonelier than when I was single. To be blunt, I don’t want to date him anymore. But I feel too guilty to break up with him. He really cares about me, and he didn’t do anything wrong. We’ve dated for four months, and I don’t know if I’m giving up too soon. Where would I be if previous boyfriends had ditched me for being inexperienced instead of showing me the ropes? Don’t I owe Guy the same thing? -Too Down To Be Witty First off, I think a long time between relationships is good. I also think not having things in common can be okay if you create new hobbies and experiences you can share. Having said that, TDTBW, four months is plenty of time to know if it’s working. He sounds super boring. The sooner you break it off with him the better. You don’t want to hurt him any more than you have to, especially if he’s really into you, and the longer you draw it out, the more it’s going to hurt. No amount of “training” is going to get this dude hard. The only rope being shown here is his flaccid dingdong. It doesn’t seem like you even want to be

My girl and I are both 26, and we opened up our marriage. Now I’ve got a girlfriend with whom I am getting to have some of the kinky fun that was lacking at home. Here is my question: Things are really casual between me and this new girl. I want to do some pegging, but I don’t know who should buy the strap-on? Me, because it’s my ass and my idea? Or her, because she would wear it and would also think it was super hot? Should I buy the dildo and she buys the harness? Going halfsies on the whole rig? What is the equitable way of doing this? -Purchasing Erotic Gear Good Etiquette, Dan? You’re 26 years old, PEGGED, buy the damn thing. How much could it possibly cost? I know if I were in your situation, I would want full control over what goes up my ass. If she owns it, would she use it while you weren’t around? With strangers? No thanks. Plus if you split the cost, who gets to keep it when you break up? Just buy it and enjoy. If you struggle with picking it out, might I suggest starting small? I’ve always enjoyed reading your column— maybe I just get turned on by other people’s sexual endeavors or maybe reading about other people’s sexual frustrations makes my situation seem better in comparison. So what am I writing about? Well, I suppose the question is this: When does one just become blatantly ungrateful? I’ve been in a two-year mixed relationship (she’s Native and 24, I’m white and 29), and we fight a lot. She cheated on me a couple times early in the relationship. She says I pressured her into getting into a relationship when she wasn’t ready to “settle down,” which I suppose I could see. My problem is I have a handjob fetish and my girlfriend has a disinterest in it, to the point where she just won’t do it. But why am I bitching? I get laid every day for the most part, surprise blowjobs, 69ing, you name it. Should I accept this as fate? But just this morning, we went for round two, and I was having a hard time coming, and out of nowhere she pops up and jerks me off till climax. It really took me back. Would it be bad to fake having coming issues in hopes she does it again? Is that unfair? -Tugboat Captain It’s interesting that your problem isn’t the fact that she cheated on you, TG, or the relationship problems, or the constant fighting. No, it’s the lack of handjob enthusiasm. Honestly, man, it seems like you have much deeper issues here—but the handjob problem is the only concrete thing you point to? The girlfriend you’ve got sounds super selfish, and finding a new girl—one who wouldn’t cheat on you and would be excited to jump into a relationship AND be down with a little tug—isn’t going to be that difficult of a task. I mean, your fetish seems like it’s an easy one to explore. But to answer your actual question: I would go ahead and fake it. Fuck it, lie to her. It seems like she has no issues lying to you!

Rob Wilder is many things: an educator, a humorist, an author; he even had a column in SFR for nearly 10 years. These many parts of him come together in his newest novel, Nickel, out next month from local imprint Leaf Storm Press. It’s a young adult title, yes, but Nickel avoids the overtly emotional sap thanks to Wilder’s real-life, firsthand knowledge of the struggles facing teens. The release is still a ways out, but we caught up with Wilder because it’s the book issue and all. (Alex De Vore) Why young adult? I didn’t write it as a YA book, I just wrote it as a book. I just wanted to write from the point of view of the weird, quiet kids I’ve taught or seen. And, as an English teacher, you have access. You meet these kind of crazy, irreverent wild-minded kids who seem invisible. Any teacher will tell you that the shit kids have to go through— parents getting divorced, moving, people dying … I wanted to see how a kid who seemed mild-mannered reacted when something like that happened in his life. Ultimately, it was the publisher who chose how to market it, but if you look back at other books … Catcher in the Rye would be on the YA shelf, To Kill a Mockingbird would be on the YA shelf.
August 25 - September 11 TICKETS: www.santafeplayhouse.org or call (505) 988-4262
We don’t want names, but do any particular kids from your years teaching feed the characters? I’ll ask my kids what they’re wearing or what they’re listening to. I had a couple students who were really into the ’80s, which I thought was weird because I lived through the ’80s and didn’t think they were all that great. But, I thought about, what if you’re a kid who isn’t into the pop culture of today? They’re out of sync, but they’re not out of passion. I understand the culture of school and teachers, and so I thought of all the horrible teachers I knew or my own worst sense of being a teacher, and I tried to position this kid in that kind of situation. It’s a survival story. Did you specifically set out to publish with a local company? I was kind of looking around, but there’s this great resurgence in Santa Fe. This is the best time—and I’ve been here 26 years—that I can remember in terms of entrepreneurship and DIY. My first two books were Random House, this huge publisher, but Leaf Storm is amazing. They’re doing cool events, they’re really in touch with the booksellers, they really care. And they spend all their time doing it. A friend of mine really tried to convince me to crowdfund it, but I met with Andy Dudzik (note: Leaf Storm co-founder and former SFR publisher), and after talking with him and seeing what they could do. They loved the book and the characters, and I love Santa Fe, so I’m just really happy we could publish it in this community.

So Close and Yet so Vara Way Local guys make (not local) wine BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

hat makes something local? We think of green chile as being quintessentially New Mexican, and yet tons of the chile we eat is actually grown in California, Mexico and beyond. Is it the stuff or is it the people that’s important? If your mom makes the red chile sauce she learned from her grandmother—but uses chiles from California—does that make it any less New Mexican? These are some of the questions I’ve been chewing on since I stumbled across Vara, a wine company born in New Mexico, making and selling wine with the history of New Mexico winemaking as its theme—but not actually growing grapes or making wine here. Get that? It was at a pop-up dinner cooked by chef Jonathan Perno of Albuquerque’s Los Poblanos Inn that I discovered Vara. The back of the bottle mentioned New Mexico but the wine was from the Rioja region of Spain. It clearly said IMPORTED and bore the little Rioja sticker, but the label talked about the Pueblos. What? Why? How? Huh? So I called the number listed on the website and a few days later I met with Doug Diefenthaler and his partner Xavier Zamarripa. Both are super-passionate about wine. Diefenthaler has worked in the wine business for decades, since studying agricultural economics in college. Diefenthaler sold wine across the West before eventually settling here in the late ’80s. In 1989 he co-founded the New Mexico Wine Patrol, a fine wine distributor that grew through the 1990s until it was swallowed by Southern Wine and Spirits in 2001. After that Diefenthaler became more interested in exploring how to connect American buyers online with wineries across the world. Through a mutual friend he met a mosaic artist named Xavier Zamarripa, a transplanted Texan with Basque family roots. Zamarripa studied the art of mo-

saics in Italy, where he fell in love with wine—and a New Mexican girl. You might have heard something about his efforts to open a vineyard and winery in the rural valley just north of Albuquerque. That plan was thwarted by neighborhood opposition, but Zamarripa was intent on making wine. Diefenthaler had seen the success of Gruet—but also the failure of so many other dreams of making great wine here. “I said to him: ‘We don’t want to be another New Mexico winery,’” Diefenthaler recalls. The two talked about the great, long history of wine in the Rio Grande valley, stretching back to Spanish colonists. “What can we do to build on that?” Diefenthaler wondered. “We can make Spanish wine in Spain and import it. And we can source the best Spanish varietals here in the United States and make wines from that. We can connect the past to the present.” Make sense? Vara is named for the Spanish word for “cane,” which refers to “canes of sovereignty” given to Pueblo governors by the King of Spain in 1620—and similar canes given by President Abraham Lincoln to the governors in 1863. The company sells six wines, four made in Spain and two made in California. The Spanish wines are each 100 percent varietals that express the character of Rioja. The Viura ($12) is a fresh, floral white with a tropi-
cal nose and a clean finish. A rosé made with 100 percent Garnacha ($12) has a dark raspberry color and the aroma and flavor of ripe strawberries. It’s not a sweet wine but it’s on the fruitier, sweeter side of good rosés. The Tempranillo ($27) is a dark, intense red with ripe cherry flavors made more complex by spending a few months in American oak barrels. The Silverhead Brut ($16) is a traditional cava: Fruity, fun, irresistible and inexpensive. The American wines include the Blanco Especial ($27), a blend of Albariño, Viognier, Marsanne and a touch of Chardonnay. It’s big, soft, floral, fruity and luscious. The red, called Tinto Especial ($27), is mostly Tempranillo with Garnacha, Syrah and Monastrell. It’s a full, rich red with dark fruit and enough tannin to stand up to a steak. You can buy Vara wines at Susan’s Fine Wine and Spirits, Kaune’s Neighborhood Market, Kokoman Fine Wines and Liquor, Arroyo Vino and the Rancho Viejo Village Market. Some of them are by the glass or bottle at Arroyo Vino, the Eldorado Hotel, Eloisa, Midtown Bistro, the Santa Fe Bar and Grill and Hotel Chimayó de Santa Fe. Diefenthaler and Zamarripa have big dreams for the company, and they expect to have a local tasting room and some kind of locally made product in the future. But exactly how those plans will ripen is, for now, a mystery.

yay! Kubo and the Two Strings Review: All You Need is Love Laika achieves its best film yet by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com
Animation powerhouse Laika, which previously brought us Coraline and ParaNorman, is out to blow our minds all over again with Kubo and the Two Strings, a fable heavily influenced by
Japanese mythology and one of the finest films of the year. A young boy with one eye named Kubo (Art Parkinson) spends much of his time caring for his ailing mother and the rest making money by busking with a magical samisen that can bring origami to life, a power he uses to tell stories to the townspeople. His stories are based on his mother’s nightly tales of the swashbuckling happenings that led to the death of Kubo’s father, who died to protect his family some years ago. Mom

Of course, this wouldn’t be nearly as impressive if the story wasn’t engaging, and nothing in this film that feels extraneous or out of place. Humorous moments are sincerely funny and timed perfectly so as to alleviate the pressure of mature themes, but Laika pulls no punches. It’s valuable for kids to absorb stories wherein young heroes are proven capable on their own, but are also never too proud or silly to ask for and accept help. This of course feeds into the overall narrative on the power of love, which, despite the concept losing some of its oomph over the years, once again manages to conquer all. Parents will find plenty to enjoy as well, but beyond the obvious asskicking qualities of Kubo lies a sweet and charming tale with an important moral takeaway. In a medium that never seems to tire of fluff or talking down to kids, this is a brilliant alternative. Smart, funny and thrilling throughout, it very well may go down in film history as one of the greatest animation features of all time. Do not miss it.
KUBO AND THE TWO STRINGS Directed by Travis Knight With Parkinson, Theron and McConaughey Violet Crown, Regal PG, 101 min.
SCREENER
yay!
ok
constantly reminds our young hero that he must never stay out after dark or his grandfather, the evil Moon King (Ralph Fiennes), will come for him and take his other eye. Yikes. This system works for many years until Kubo accidentally stays out too late during the festival of Obon, a yearly occurrence wherein the souls of departed loved ones supposedly return to speak with the living. Turns out his mother’s warnings were true, and as soon as the moon hangs in the sky, Kubo is relentlessly pursued by the Moon King’s twin daughters, an evil pair voiced brilliantly by Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), who do indeed want his other eye. The twins are utterly terrifying but, with the help of his mother’s magic, Kubo is able to escape. Alone and scared, our hero is joined by a no-nonsense monkey (Charlize Theron), who is a martial arts expert, and a warrior (Matthew McConaughey) cursed to wander the earth without his memories and in anthropomorphized beetle form. In order to take on their enemies, the trio must find three magical pieces of equipment, and thus their journey begins. Awesome. The combination of stop-motion and computer animation is absolutely stunning, from the large-scale action sequences to seemingly unimportant details such as the way hair moves in the wind. From a technical standpoint, Kubo and the Two Strings doesn’t just raise the bar—it demolishes it entirely.
PETE’S DRAGON Keeping up with the endless onslaught of remakes, reboots, re-imaginings and so forth is Pete’s Dragon, the newest pile of heartwarming dreck from the fine folks at Disney. It’s all about having faith and believing in that which maybe you can’t see and not caring all that much that your parents are dead. We follow Pete (Children of the Moon’s Oakes Fegley), a young lad left alone in the wilderness who, with the aid of a dragon he names Elliot, survives somehow and spends his days playing hide and go seek with his puppy-like reptile friend. Elliot loves Pete with all of his oversized dragon heart because … well, he just does, and that suits Pete just fine for the six-ish years they spend together in the woods. Cue Grace (Jurassic World’s Bryce Dallas Howard), a spirited forest service ranger who spends her days hiking around, smiling and being totally into nature. Despite her insistence to her father (Robert Redford) that she knows the woods like the back of her hand (a line that’s actually used), she never noticed Pete until now. It’s almost unbelievable that she’d be the one to find the kid, since it’s her dad who spent the last 30 years destroying all of his credibility by telling everyone who’d listen that he saw a dragon out there when he was young. The statsitics of that are mind-boggling, but oh,
won’t it be so satisfying if the naysayers are proven wrong? The rest of the film plays out like a patchwork of familiar kids movie tropes, becoming a combination of Harry and the Hendersons and White Fang. Music-swelling hugs occur every couple minutes to the point that they aren’t so much “Awww!” moments as much as we begin to feel emotionally manipulated. We aren’t sure how Howard keeps winding up in these roles where massive lizards make everybody run around full-tilt, but we sure hope she can expand her repertoire soon. Pete’s Dragon does get points for never underestimating its audience or assuming that kids won’t be able to handle heavy topics such as dead parents, non-nuclear families, bravery or even solitude, but other than some undeniably gorgeous CGI work and the overall message that yes, Virginia, there really is magic in the world, there is nothing to get all that worked up about. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG, 103 min.
SUICIDE SQUAD 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 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. 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) and Deadshot (Will Smith, who shows up and plays Will Smith as he always does) while everyone else gets a twosecond “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 AkinnuoyeAgbaje) 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 (Adam Beach). 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 Joker (a CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

ok What the hell does the dragon eat if not kids? dimensionless Jared Leto). 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 blingwearing, nightclub-hanging douchey-sportscar-enthusiasm. 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. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, Jean Cocteau, PG-13, 123 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, soundtrackfree 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 grit-ify 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 allover-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.
STAR TREK BEYOND
When we rejoin the crew of the Starship Enterprise in the midst of their 5-year mission 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 spacejerk who leads a species that utilizes swarmlike 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 spacevampiring 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
MOVIES
meh Suicide Squad probably won’t be the worst thing you see this summer. Probably. feel forced and tiresome and, worst of all, audiences are underestimated. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas, PG-13, 122 min.
GHOSTBUSTERS
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 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 bril-
liantly 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. 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? (ADV) Regal, PG-13, 116 min.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) In the coming weeks, I hope you won’t scream curses at the rain, demanding that it stop falling on you. Similarly, I suggest you refrain from punching walls that seem to be hemming you in, and I beg you not to spit into the wind when it’s blowing in your face. Here’s an oracle about how to avoid counterproductive behavior like that: The near future will bring you useful challenges and uncanny blessings if you’re willing to consider the possibility that everything coming your way will in some sense be an opportunity.
