SMELLS FISHY The latest scandal in Santa Fe, the “quid pro quo” of former Mayor Javier Gonzales, is insulting to all residents of New Mexico. Mr. Gonzales carried a bill requesting grant money to City Council and was the lead sponsor—yet he conveniently was absent when the actual votes were cast to grant $100,000 to Descartes Labs. The state has contributed a further $600,000 because of this city contribution. And now Mr. Gonzales is given a “consulting job” by this same firm, in a field that he has zero experience or expertise in. Most importantly, this grant of LEDA funds, approved by the Santa Fe City Council, is to a company that isn’t eligible for them under the stated, written guidelines by the New Mexico Economic Development Department (as shown on their webpage). In fact, they are clearly a

‘We Were There to ’ Protect the
San Felipe Pueblo man reflects on being the youngest person imprisoned for Standing Rock protests
BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
t 19 years old, Dion Ortiz left his birthplace of San Felipe Pueblo for Denver. His basic plan was to escape the bad habits he’d picked up. After a few months, he landed a construction job, but didn’t see much else on the horizon. Before he could settle in during the summer of 2016, his friend mentioned a gathering happening at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota, about nine hours northeast of Denver by car—something about an oil pipeline, and protecting the water. Ortiz only had a week to decide. The decision to go, he learned last month, would lead to a 16-month prison sentence, making Ortiz the second person from Northern New Mexico imprisoned for actions they took during the protests. “Even just hearing about Standing Rock, I didn’t know much more than what they told me was going on,” Ortiz tells SFR over the phone from inside a county jail in North Dakota. “I didn’t look it up or anything. But I decided to drive up here with them anyway.” On Ortiz’ first full day at Standing Rock over two years ago, private security forces hired by Energy Transfer Partners, the company installing the massive Dakota Access Pipeline, attacked water protectors with security dogs. The dramatic images gripped the nation, and plunged Ortiz into a movement he says gave him a new sense of purpose. As the number of people swelled and temperatures plunged through the winter, Ortiz integrated himself into the camp as a basic handyman, helping people set up their tents and distribute materials for people to stay warm. Throughout his five months there, he met Indigenous people from all over the world. “It was cool to experience Native American culture up here, and it was really great to hear the songs they sang and the different prayers they had. I met a few Mayans and Aztecs, too,” he says. The encampment’s numbers reached 10,000 at its height, yet diminished in the winter, and the media’s attention drifted elsewhere. But Ortiz didn’t leave until early February 2017, shortly after
Dion Ortiz and his mother, Christina, pose in front of a mural in Bismarck, North Dakota, before Dion’s change of plea hearing on July 17.
President Trump signed an executive order allowing Energy Transfer Partners to complete construction of the pipeline. “It didn’t matter how much people were there or weren’t, we knew why we were there: We were there to protect the water like everyone was doing,” Ortiz says. “Everybody collaborated in the way where we stood together, which made the movement strong.” Since that time, Ortiz has been incarcerated in four different lockups and rehabilitation centers, and is currently waiting to be taken to the Terre Haute Federal Correctional Institution in Indiana. With time served, he expects to be released in April at the latest. The trouble started for Ortiz shortly after he left the doomed protest encampment to stay with friends in Oregon. That month, the federal Department of Justice unsealed an indictment that charged
him and several other Indigenous men each with two counts of using fire to commit a felony during one day of particularly intense protest. Ortiz, now 22, was also indicted on two counts of civil disorder, but the fire charges each carried a 10-year minimum sentence. He was put on pre-trial release a month later, in March, and returned to San Felipe to live with his family. The combination of stress about his upcoming trial and being back in a toxic environment, Ortiz says, eventually led to what he calls “a relapse,” in which he abused prescription painkillers. It showed up in a urine test reviewed by his pretrial services officer, as did cannabis. The relapse led to more jail time. Court records show that on Sept. 15, 2017, US Magistrate Alice Senechal of North Dakota issued a warrant for his arrest. Ortiz spent the next five months,

until March 2018, imprisoned at the Sandoval County Detention Center. He was then transferred to the New Moon Lodge residential treatment center in Ohkay Owingeh, where he stayed until July. That month, he traveled back to North Dakota to enter into a “noncooperating change of plea” in which he pleaded guilty to one count of civil disorder in exchange for the other charges being dropped. He immediately went back to jail there, and on Oct. 22, Ortiz was sentenced to 16 months, and subsequently transferred to another North Dakota jail. Sending a person to jail for relapsing while they’re facing uniquely difficult circumstances is indicative of how the criminal justice system “foments further chaos” for people struggling with substance abuse, says Bernie Lieving, an advocate for community-based opioid treatment. “Relapse is part of the recovery process,” Lieving tells SFR. “We don’t have resources for people who are young and facing prison time for, essentially, political reasons. That was political activism.” Ortiz doesn’t, in fact, see his charges as political, because he doesn’t even consider what he did to be political: “To me, doing what I was doing, it didn’t seem much of a political matter.” Ortiz is one of three people, all Indigenous, serving time in federal prison on charges stemming from the monthslong standoff—though his sentence is the shortest, according to the Water Protector Legal Collective. Hundreds were arrested only to see their charges dropped, and only a handful have been sentenced to jail or prison time. Another Indigenous man, Michael “Rattler” Markus, will surrender to the Bureau of Prisons for a 36-month sentence on Nov. 26. Ortiz’ mother, Christina Ortiz, says her son’s participation at Standing Rock was consistent with the reverence for the Earth she tried to instill in all her children. She attended her son’s sentencing hearing last month. “It’s just the way we got brought up and how we appreciate our lands,” Christina tells SFR. “It’s not like he did something childish, like hold up a convenience store. It was something well worth doing, so I’m very proud of him.” Ortiz plans to return to San Felipe once his sentence is complete. He hopes to enroll in school and study auto mechanics. Without the anxiety of a looming trial, he thinks he’ll return far wiser than before. “I have changed as a person, my perspective and where I want to be,” Ortiz tells SFR. “I’m so young, I can achieve what I want to achieve—so that’s what I’m shooting for.”

Grain of Truth Former New Mexico journalist pens novel born of reporting in the Susana Martinez era
BY JOEY PETERS a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he demons still gnaw at Phil Parker—spectral reminders of the real-life horrors he witnessed as a daily newspaper reporter covering New Mexico politics. So he wrote a novel about it. The result, Parker’s self-published Corruptus, is a strange mixture of the autobiographical, the satirical and the comic-book absurd, united by a scathing critique of New Mexico’s power structure during the Susana Martinez era. The 259-page book, penned in fits of rage and self-reflection from a beach in Mexico, finds Parker lashing a cat o’ nine tails to the entirety of our tortured state, sparing neither crooked politicians, kids in their mid-20s trying to spin the crookedness for them, or even Parker himself. It’s by far the oddest entry in the Roundhouse insider memoir book genre popularized earlier this decade by former state legislators Dede Feldman, Pauline Eisenstadt and others. Last year, Sen. Bill O’Neill (D-Albuquerque) even published a book of experimental poetry about the Legislature. Parker spent the late aughts and early part of this decade working as a reporter at the Daily Lobo, the now-shuttered Albuquerque Tribune and the Albuquerque Journal. In 2011, his frustrations from the toll of daily reporting and what he saw as a lack of accountability-based journalism about a deeply unpopular US Congress boiled into an infamous email that, at the time, became fodder for barroom gossip and hip-hip-hoorays among local journalists. Frustrated by government spokespeople who evade questions from reporters for their politician bosses, Parker challenged the local flacks for New Mexico’s two US senators and Rep. Ben Ray Luján, D-Santa Fe, to a “duel.”
“Prove me wrong when I say politics is dominated by the lazy and corrupt,” Parker wrote, concluding the missive: “En guarde! [sic]” The Journal summarily fired Parker for “insubordination.” Today, Parker describes the email as “kind of embarrassing” and acknowledges parts of it were insulting to his Journal colleagues. (“We have been slovenly in our profession, we flacks and reporters,” he wrote in the email). But Corruptus largely builds off the spirit Parker imbued in his now-legendary email. The novel follows Matt White after he’s fired from the fictional Albuquerque Teller for sending a similar email to Alan Kripky, the fictional top adviser to fictional Gov. Maria Ruiz. (That Kripky and Ruiz are stand-ins for Martinez and GOP Svengali Jay McCleskey couldn’t be more obvious.) White soon learns of his newspaper’s own complicity in local political shenanigans, and gets hired to write investigative stories for a union-backed liberal political action committee. Again, this sharply mirrors Parker’s own work for the now-defunct Independent Source PAC, which supported Democrats and became best known for publishing messages from a private email network Gov. Susana Martinez’ administration used illegally to conduct state business. Finally free to pursue the local corruption stories he’d always wanted to write, White begins questioning politicos around the Round-house about corruption and their roles in a series of failing systems. It reads as an attempted exorcism of Parker’s own contempt for the government spokespeople who, while paid taxpayer-funded salaries that are often double what news reporters make, act primarily as agenda-driven gatekeepers of public information. Parker still vividly remembers the frustration of non-answers he’d get from spokespeople. “It wasn’t even like they had clever ways of not answering my questions,” he recalls today. “It made me—I don’t know if angry is the right word, but it felt insulting.”
COURTESY CORRUPTUS
S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / N E WS
NEWS
Phil Parker, pictured with his daughter, lives in Mexico now and says his days as a daily journalist are over for good.
It’s a shared lament among all journalists who approach their work as anything beyond stenography for the powerful. Parker transformed it into a “thought experiment” for his writing sessions. “What would happen if the reporter kept asking questions that the flacks wouldn’t answer?” Parker recalls of his process. “And out of that came this story.” Corruptus is Parker’s first novel. Even though he was unable to secure an agent or publisher, he still writes fulltime and is currently at work on another novel, as well as a few screenplays. Parker’s wife runs a wedding photography business; they’ve lived with their young child in the beach town of San Francisco, Mexico (popularly called San Pancho, just north of Puerto Vallarta), for the last four years. Parker is finished with newspapernewspaper ing. Corruptus is highly readable, slicing into the perils of working in modernday journalism at a mid-size newspaper that’s seen better days. It’s a novel filled with selfdeprecation, self-pity and contempt for all forces behind the state of today’s politics and power structure. Near the novel’s beginning, White is bogged down by the nonstop barrage of assignments to write stories that mostly “didn’t matter” for little pay. Every now and then, White cranks out some copy he’s truly proud of, such as his profile of a
90-year-old Bataan Death March survivor. White’s health, and that of the journalists around him, declines. His editor’s office is “trashed,” piled with “bleeding” papers; red ink is splattered on his editor’s hands, his appearance is “skeletal” and “terminal.” But Corruptus also falls flat at times, particularly when White presses a fictional state lawmaker named Linda Trujillo (who we assume is not based on current state Rep. Linda Trujillo, D-Santa Fe) to run for governor against Ruiz. Trujillo’s signature legislation would require bigbox retailers to pay the same state taxes as local mom-and-pop shops. But every year, the big-box lobby kills Trujillo’s bill with generous campaign donations to legislators. That Parker would make a martyr figure out of a politician after spending the rest of the novel disemboweling the entire political system—he aptly titles two of his chapters “Fuck Democrats”—is puzzling. Another nails-on-chalkboard throughline: White’s sometimes boorish critiques of some of the characters we come to know in the novel. We know, on the periphery, that Parker’s characters are fiction, but in-tune readers will struggle to separate the fake from the real and cringe at inaccuracies in some of Parker’s criticisms of them. Parker pushes back, saying: “I don’t think it’s a critique of real people. The system is what I hate.” Parker’s vitriol works best when he aims it at lobbyists and public relations people. “We see your jealousy,” one lobbyist tells White. “For some of us, that part’s better than the money and the fucking at parties.”

It wasn’t the wave Democrats hoped for. The O’Rourkes and Gillums and Abrams looked as though they’d fall short. New Mexico, however, held up its end of the deal. Democrats were poised to run the table in statewide races, recapturing the governor’s mansion, state land office and the state auditor. They held onto all their federal offices but lost the chance to take the 2nd Congressional District, where Steve Pearce gave up a seat for his losing gubernatorial bid, and Republican Yvette Herrell appeared to only squeak by Democrat Xochitl Torres Small. Democrats haven’t held all statewide and federal offices, along with control of the state Legislature, since 1966. As election night returns trickled in late into the night, Democrats knew they’d flipped the former state House Republican minority leader’s seat, and several close House races seemed ready to go their way. “How does it feel to win?” Speaker of the House Brian Egolf crowed to an ecstatic crowd at the Hotel Albuquerque. Michelle Lujan Grisham easily defeated Pearce, opening an 11-point lead late in the evening in the race to succeed Gov. Susana Martinez. She performed strongly in the Albuquerque metro area and traditional Democratic strongholds like Santa Fe, bolstering her numbers against the red tide of votes from the southeast and northwest corners of the state. “In order for us to succeed, we have to harness our most powerful resource,” Lujan Grisham shouted to party faithful, “the potential, the faith we have in each other, and the pride and the unity that we have in this state.” Lujan Grisham delivered a stem-winding acceptance speech timed to coincide with the start of the late television news broadcasts, delivering large

Woman of the Lands Another Democratic woman bests Republican who was seeking third non-consecutive term On a night when so many others in her party won election to offices that will reshape New Mexico politics, at least temporarily, Stephanie Garcia Richard accomplished something else on Tuesday: She handed Pat Lyons his first-ever Election Night defeat. She also became the first woman in state history to earn the job of land commissioner. Lyons, a member of the Public Regulation Commission, was seeking a third non-consecutive term as commissioner of public lands. But early, unofficial results from the

Secretary of State’s Office showed Garcia Richard, a three-term state representative and current chair of the Legislature’s powerful Education Committee, with a slim but safe lead as of press time. She had to choose between running for her seat again and trying for land commissioner. Lyons faced scrutiny on the campaign trail for soliciting donations from ranchers who lease land from the office we now know he will not hold. News stories also revealed massive contributions to Lyons’ campaign from the lessees—many of them oil and gas companies. An often overlooked position, the state land commissioner oversees 13 million acres of mineral estate and 9 million acres of surface land held in the state’s trust. The commissioner is meant to pull maximum revenues in for the state through leases for businesses, rights of way, grazing and extraction. More than 90 percent of the money comes from the oil and gas industry. In addition to the huge sums of outside money and ethical questions about Lyons’ fundraising tactics, the race was dominated by a stark contrast in how the two candidates planned to run the land office. Lyons touted his experience in helming the office before, while Garcia Richard talked on the trail about diversifying the state’s energy portfolio with wind, solar and other means that don’t require sucking fossil fuels out of the ground. Garcia Richard also bested Libertarian Michael Lucero, who was largely missing in action from the race after being recruited to run by New Mexico Libertarian windmilltilter Blair Dunn. (Jeff Proctor)
energy expansion and film incentives. The three-term Albuquerque congresswoman ran a campaign that didn’t feature any major gaffes, and the scandal Republicans hoped to pin on her—profits from a contract her former company had to run the state’s high-risk insurance pool—didn’t rise to that level of concern for voters.
MATT GRUBS
In local statehouse races, lots of ladies in blue
Michelle Lujan Grisham knew by 9 pm that she had defeated Steve Pearce.
In order for us to succeed, we have to harness our most powerful resource: the potential, the faith we have in each other, and the pride and the unity that we have. -Michelle Lujan Grisham
Lujan Grisham was a fundraising juggernaut, doubling Pearce’s take and topping $9.3 million, a total that might possibly reach eight figures by the time the final campaign finance reports are filed. Pearce was indefatigable on the campaign trail, spending more than a year visiting counties where he knew he’d lose, trying to narrow the gap enough to slide into victory on the strength of turnout in the more conservative parts of the state. Both candidates focused on the typical fare of gubernatorial campaigns, pushing their plans for job growth, education, public safety and a host of other familiar issues.
The national climate and the political mood set by President Donald Trump appeared to motivate many voters, whether they were staunch in their support of the president or eager to send a message about his politics. “Having been able to vote and grow up in the Obama era, it’s such a stark difference; a lot of millennials are particularly alarmed and disappointed and, honestly, angry,” Julia Abbiss told SFR Tuesday. The 24-year-old volunteered for a Conservation Voters of New Mexico phone bank supporting land commissioner candidate Stephanie Garcia Richard. But the nationwide blue wave wasn’t the swell many Democrats had hoped. Early in the evening at the Republican watch party at Albuquerque’s Crowne Plaza, party chairman Ryan Cangiolosi told a crowd drinking in national returns from Fox News that “the blue wave everyone’s been talking about hit a red wall.” As the night wore on, though, New Mexico returns looked azure. “If they win all of the statewide races and they pick up seats in the House, that’s a big deal,” UNM Political Science Professor Tim Krebs told SFR. “It’s a bit of a mixed bag, nationally. … It makes us a bit of an outlier in terms of the broader story. That sends a message that the state’s trending more blue.” A decade ago, as Barack Obama swept into the White House, Democrats celebrated a similarly robust election cycle. They held 45 seats in the state House of Representatives that year, and Harry Teague became the only Democrat to hold the 2nd Congressional District in the three-seat era for New Mexico. Two years later, the situation changed on the rising tide of Tea Party sentiment. Teague lost, and Republicans would win the state House four years later.
New Mexico’s House of Representatives is to remain firmly blue for the next legislative session, according to early unofficial general election results from the secretary of state. Thirty-three seats in the governing body were uncontested going into the election, leaving 37 up for grabs. Democrats had a majority of 38-32 in the last session, and appeared to have hung on to it for the 60-day gathering that begins Jan. 15. Overall, women made a strong showing, taking six of seven open races that featured female candidates. Other female challengers knocked off incumbents, notably in three Albuquerque races that went

to Democratic women, two of whom defeated male GOP incumbents. Republican Monica Youngblood, who served a day in jail this election season after a DWI conviction, lost her District 68 seat to Karen Bash. District 28 went to challenger Democrat Melanie Stansbury over
Los Alamos County Councilor Christine Chandler handily won House District 43.
Republican incumbent Rep. Jimmie Hall, and in District 29, Democrat Joy Garratt overtook Republican incumbent Rep. David Adkins. Santa Fe’s three hottest races also appear to have gone to Democrats, with incumbents Brian Egolf and Jim Trujillo also sailing through with no ballot challengers. One race was still undecided in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. In House District 43, Los Alamos County Councilor Christine Chandler handily defeated Lisa Shin to keep the district on the side of Democrats in an area that’s been defined of late by pundits as purple. Long held by Republican Jeannette Wallace, the seat was left open after three terms by Stephanie Garcia Richard, who appears to have run a successful campaign for land commissioner instead. Shin is best known in the community for appearing on television during the GOP convention prior to the 2016 election. Chandler has been on the local governing body for eight years. She credits that name recognition and record of service with the win, as well as tons of in-person outreach. “I started early trying to make CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

connections with people to introduce myself to them. That seemed to work for the primary and I expect it to work for general,” she told SFR a few hours before polls closed. In District 46, the Santa Fe County clerk had released only early voting numbers by midnight, so SFR did not know at presstime whether Andrea Romero fended off a challenge from write-in fellow Democrat Heather Nordquist. Romero, who has worked as a consultant and contractor on quasigovernment projects including as former director of the Los Alamos Communities Coalition, came under fire for purchases she made with public funds that she later was required to reimburse. She knocked out Carl Trujillo in the primary on a platform that more closely resembled Democratic Party talking points than Trujillo’s did; he sometimes sided with Republicans. She also enjoyed support from tribal leaders who tussled with the incumbent. In District 50, Rep. Matthew McQueen appears to have held on to his seat in a district that spans from Eldorado, parts of Edgewood and to the Rio Communities east of Albuquerque in the counties of Bernalillo, Santa Fe, Torrance and Valencia. Fighting off a challenge from Independent Jarratt Applewhite, the Galisteo incumbent is likely to continue an agenda centering on environmental regulation from his role as chair of the House Natural Resources Committee. His strongest margins came from voters in Bernalillo and Santa Fe counties. (Julie Ann Grimm)

New faces, same parties for New Mexico in Congress No congressional districts flipped; Senate incumbent keeps seat Democrats took back the US House of Representatives Tuesday night. None of the three House seats that were up for grabs in New Mexico flipped, but two of them will be sending new faces to DC. The districts vacated by Michelle Lujan Grisham and Steve Pearce, who both gave up their seats to run for governor, were among the mostwatched in the nation. Both seats will be filled by women. Meanwhile, Rep. Ben Ray Luján (D-Santa Fe) kept New Mexico’s 3rd district, according to early, unofficial results from the Secretary of State’s Office. And the only senator on the ballot, Martin Heinrich, won handily. Debra Haaland, a member of Laguna Pueblo, heads to Washington representing New Mexico’s 1st District, and is one of the first Native American women ever in Congress. Democrat Sharice Davids, a member of HoChunk Nation, won a race in

Kansas, and Yvette Herrell, who is an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, took New Mexico’s 2nd District. In her victory speech, Haaland declared she would be a strong advocate for adapting to and limiting climate change, expanding women’s reproductive rights, creating a “humane immigration system” and pushing ahead with early childhood education. In a conversation with SFR, Haaland said she would advocate for a singlepayer system to provide healthcare for all Americans. “I want every single New Mexican to have health care. I want to make sure everyone has the health care they need,” Haaland said. Her Republican opponent, Janice Arnold-Jones, is a former New Mexico state representative from Albuquerque. She took heat during the race for raising questions about Haaland’s Indigenous heritage. Haaland called the comments racist. Arnold-Jones tells SFR that she was the victim of an ugly campaign, too, but is happy with the campaign she ran. “When you don’t have the money of your opponent,
FROM THE TOP: Deb Haaland, Martin Heinrich and Yvette Herrell emerged as winners in New Mexico congressional races.
you have to work in different ways,” Arnold-Jones says. By far the closest race in the state was the 2nd district. Herrell, a state legislator from Alamogordo, triumphed over water attorney Xochitl Torres Small by a little over 6,500 votes, according to early, unofficial results. The race was one of the tightest in the country. The Associated Press reported three days before the election the detail that Herrell was an enrolled tribal member. Herrell told the Albuquerque Journal that she wanted “people to vote for me because of my experience, what I bring to the table, not because I have a portion of Native American blood in me.” “I’m going to be talking about New Mexico’s shared values for the next two years, and that’s what’s important,” Herrell said in her acceptance speech. Later, in an interview with SFR, she elaborated, “I’m going to be working closely with colleagues both in our party and outside of our party to make sure we have opportunities to gain prosperity, protect shared values like life and the second amendment, but also work with the [Trump] administration on deregulation and doing business in the state of New Mexico.” In the Senate race, votes split between Heinrich’s Republican and Libertarian opponents frayed
County commission race too close to call a coalition that could have meaningfully challenged him. First elected to the seat in 2013, Heinrich has led efforts to create and expand public land in New Mexico and boosted renewable energy. Republican Senate candidate Mick Rich, a political newcomer and the owner of an Albuquerque-based construction company, billed himself as a “economic nationalist” in the mold of Steve Bannon late in the race, when the latter made a last-minute stop in Roswell to stump for Rich last month. The entrance of former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, who is now a Libertarian and claimed he was retiring from public life following his 2016 presidential bid, threw the race into disarray for Republicans. Polling about a month ago indicated that Rich might have been in striking distance of Heinrich when combining both Johnson’s and Rich’s numbers.
“To Gary Johnson’s credit, he pulls from both the right and the left,” Heinrich told SFR after the race was called. Reached by phone early in the evening, Lukas Grund of the Johnson campaign said that the Libertarian candidate was not giving any media interviews; he told SFR, “We’re letting Gary enjoy the night.” In the last year, incumbent Ben Ray Luján introduced a bill in the House supporting a Medicaid buy-in option, which would allow anybody to obtain health care through the low-income health insurance program regardless of their income. He has supported similar efforts at the state level. He’s also done serious fundraising work for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, giving him outsized influence within the party in DC. He handily defeated two ballot challenges, from Libertarian Chris Manning and Republican Jared McFall. (Aaron Cantú)
Results for District 3 still unclear late into the night The county had not reported all votes for its largest district by midnight. Rudy Garcia, a son of the Airport Road corridor with a 25-year track record working for Santa Fe County, was ahead of Mike Anaya to represent the county’s mostly southern district last night by about 1,000 votes just before presstime, but those totals did not appear to include any Election Day voters. District 3 is home to about 50,000 people and encompasses Edgewood, Stanley, Galisteo, Cerrillos, Madrid and La Cienega. Garcia, who is also on the board of Santa Fe Public Schools, had those votes in spite of late-hour news reporting of several DWI arrests and an aggravated assault charge, later dropped, that involved his ex-girlfriend. In a past conversation with SFR, Garcia said he wanted to make the county government “friendlier,” including an expedited permitting process. He wants competing public bodies in the region to coordinate more effectively. “One of the things I would like to see happen is a lot more dialogue between the city, county, and governments,” Garcia told SFR in September. Anaya was the District 3 commissioner from 2003 to 2011. He ran this time as an independent. Whoever wins will replace Robert Anaya, who is Mike’s brother. (Aaron Cantú)
Yes to Every Question City elections to move to November, tax stays in place, constitution is amended and bonds are a go Voters in future Santa Fe municipal elections will be thinking about Thanksgiving instead of Easter. An amendment to the city charter to move elections from March to November of odd-numbered years was among measures that appear to have earned voter approval on the general election ballot. City councilors who put the question to voters said the change should improve voter participation. Voters in Santa Fe, Taos, Rio Arriba and Los Alamos appear to have
overwhelmingly approved the extension of a gross-receipts tax that funds the North Central Regional Transit District’s public transportation projects and sends money to the New Mexico Rail Runner Express commuter trains. Statewide, two amendments to the New Mexico Constitution and a set of general obligation bonds also seem to have passed. The measure to create an independent ethics commission will be perhaps the one with the most discernible effect. The details of how the commission would be appointed and its rules of procedure and transparency would be laid out next year by the Legislature. Former Albuquerque Senator Dede Feldman says passage of the amendment should be a strong signal that New Mexicans want accountability for legislators.
“We have had so many examples of corruption and so many scandals and so much reluctance on the part of the Legislature to do anything about this that finally, when voters did get a chance to weigh in, they voted for it,” she tells SFR. Another constitutional amendment gives the Legislature permission to pass new laws governing the appeals process for the state’s lower courts. Voters gave the thumbs-up to statewide general obligation bonds worth a total of $166 million to pay for capital projects for seniors, libraries, school buses and school projects, including $5 million toward the Santa Fe Community College’s planned automotive training program, according to early, unofficial results from the Secretary of State’s Office. (Julie Ann Grimm)
Female Majority Dem women oust GOP incumbent men from Court of Appeals Women have claimed a supermajority on one of New Mexico’s most important courts, according to early, unofficial election results from the Secretary of State’s Office. In each of four contested races for seats on the state Court of Appeals, female challengers appear to have ousted their male incumbent opponents, the results show. And in each of those races, the woman was a Democrat and the man a Republican appointed to the bench by outgoing Gov. Susana Martinez. Judges and judicial candidates will tell you the political party with which they’re registered matters less than the law itself. But Tuesday night’s election appears to have placed New Mexico’s second-highest court not only in a small national minority of appeals courts with female majorities, but also swings the political balance of the court even further toward the Democrats. Republican Appeals Court Judge Stephen French, the best known of the incumbents, appears to have fallen to Democrat Kristina Bogardus, the results show. In the other three races, Megan Duffy appears to have unseated Judge Daniel Gallegos; Jacqueline Medina had a comfortable lead over Judge Hank Bohnhoff; and Briana Zamora, a sitting state District Court judge, appeared headed for a promotion to the Appeals Court with a win over Judge Emil Kiehne. Meanwhile, Appeals Court Judge Michael Vigil appears to have won election to the state Supreme Court in his second try. Vigil, a Democrat, was beaten in 2016 by now-Chief Justice Judith Nakamura. But on Tuesday night, according to the secretary of state’s preliminary figures, Vigil had a double-digit lead over Republican Gary Clingman, who was appointed to the state’s high court by Martinez earlier this year. The election does not change the gender split on the Supreme Court, which remains three women and two men. Newly elected Gov. Lujan Grisham will appoint a replacement to the appeals court for Vigil’s seat. The Court of Appeals handles nearly 900 cases a year and, in most instances, is the final stop for questions of law in New Mexico that aren’t resolved in the court of their first stop in the justice system.

Trout Rebound Volunteers hike bags of cutthroat trout back to Bandelier as flood restoration efforts advance
BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
S
nowflakes fell over the ponderosa pines and sandstone canyon walls as volunteer hikers, along with staff from Bandelier National Monument and the state Department of Game and Fish, loaded tautly inflated bags of cutthroat trout into backpacks and started hiking trails toward Frijoles Canyon. “You could feel a little bit of a slosh as you were walking, but it really wasn’t that bad, and fortunately, we were going downhill—that made a big difference,� says Tom Chymbor, an Eldorado resident and retiree who showed up with his wife, Kathleen Burch, to volunteer to haul fish. They’d first visited Bandelier with a hiking group, then returned to hike with a trail ranger and were impressed by rarely seen petroglyphs and eagle traps. They were hooked, so when a ranger said the park could use more volunteers, they signed up. Their first work trip was in February 2014, Chymbor recalls, shortly after Las Conchas fire damage in 2011 met heavy rains in September 2013—just some of the fires and floods to reshape the national monument in recent years. The cubic feet per second of water in a creek that usually runs at 10 registered at 9,000. Trails in the canyon bottom were washed out or buried under logjams of 250-year-old pine trees. On that first work trip, he says, they collected emptied sandbags that had been scattered by the floodwaters. “We didn’t count them all, but we estimated we must have gathered 1,500 of these used sand bags,� he says. “As we
started out, they were just these white dots all the way down the canyon.� That led to working on trail rerouting, tree clearing and building a rock wall to shore up a section of trail. This fall, they attended a dinner for volunteers that included a talk by Scott McFarland, natural resource program manager at Bandelier, about various projects underway in the park, including banding birds, monitoring water temperatures, installing audio recorders to capture the sounds of the wilderness, planting cottonwood and ponderosa seedlings, and constructing beaver dams in hopes of soon housing relocated beavers. Wetlands left from beaver dams may have helped some trees on the canyon floor survive when Las Conchas roared through the surrounding forest. Beavers’ historic presence also makes a case for reintroducing them. The floods in September 2013 didn’t just obliterate trails; they also wiped out the population of cutthroat trout, hence this effort to return the native fish. “We ended up with basically a fishless stream,� says McFarland. Native Rio Grande cutthroat trout are often out-competed by non-native species, so the emptied Frijoles offered a chance to reset. He’s also been measuring stream temperatures and water levels to make sure the habitat is ready for trout to return. Reintroducing cutthroat increases resiliency for the statewide population of a fish that predominantly lives in places poised to see a catastrophic wildfire. The effort also can add recreational opportunities for anglers, and ripple up and down

the food chain, affecting insect populations and local birds like osprey. Also, McFarland says, “They’re a native species that belongs in this environment.� McFarland and Game and Fish staff captured wild cutthroat trout at a river near El Rito using a pulse of electricity to stun the fish, then scooped them up and loaded them into a truck with a tank in the bed. The next morning, after counting 306 cutthroat and measuring the fish—a few as long as 8 or 9 inches—wildlife staff poured a couple gallons of water into plastic bags and pumped air into the bags to give fish oxygen for the journey. Then volunteers slipped the bags into their backpacks and hiked about a mile and a half down trails to the Rio de los Frijoles. The snowfall tapered off as they hiked, but clouds and fog hovered like a lid on the canyon. Once at the creek, Chymbor says, he opened his bag to let some stream water

into it, then eased the fish out into the current. Some people paused to cup one of the finger-thick fish in their hands before releasing it into the water. “It was almost a little unfortunate, because with the amount of water in the bag and then when you added the stream water, you really didn’t see it happen. They were so fast,� he says. Still, he adds, “To watch that first fish go into the creek, it’s like, wow, it felt like such a success. And doing your own little bag, you didn’t want to just dump them in and run away. You wanted to linger.� He’s hoping to come along for the next project as well: When someone reports a nuisance beaver, that’ll give the state a chance to relocate it to Bandelier. Chymbor has asked what that haul would be like—probably not a bag in a backpack—and, he says, “We were all discussing how much they might weigh.�

If the name sounds familiar, it’s because the band’s received no small amount of press recently for their newest, The Wave, The Wake, a more subdued yet no-less-catchy affair that did something rather shocking for folk music—it dropped the acoustic guitar altogether.

WORKSHOP MON/12
Always Healer and teacher addresses the psychic in us all—no, seriously! We’ve been conditioned to think of the term “psychic” and its emissaries as bunk and bunk artists—parlor trick charlatans who specialize in generalizations just vague enough as to be applicable to all. But when we ditch the pop culture crystal ball nonsense and break down the concept of psychic energies and prowess, or even just the term clairvoyance—literally, “clear sight”—we see it’s perhaps more about mindfulness and spirituality than magic tricks. New-agey? Perhaps, but still powerful when harnessed responsibly and without pretense. Enter Lisa Pelletier, a self-described clairvoyant healer and teacher who presides over workshops and session work to help declutter the mind, access our latent psychic abilities and perhaps shake off that which does not spiritually feed us. Pelletier believes we’re all born at least a little psychic, but tapping into this aspect of ourselves might require a helping hand. Generally speaking, she offers her services through her own Deep Roots Studio, but interested parties can learn more for free at an evening workshop this Monday.
“I come across people in Santa Fe who are really psychic but they don’t know how to manage it,” she says. “I’ll talk about what I do, then I’ll guide people through some practical visualizations— each person is doing their work. I’m guiding it.” Pelletier is more than aware of the skeptics and non-believers, but maintains that her event is not about reading minds or seeing the future; rather, it’s managing preoccupations and anxieties. In other words, jettisoning psychological excess and tapping into our empathic side. Scoff if you must, but this is about energy, folks. “The thing I learn more and more is that there’s always something beautiful beyond the stuff that’s too painful,” Pelletier adds. “You don’t have to hold onto that pain, and what I teach people is to let go of that.” (Alex De Vore)

MUSIC
music—and it all might be best left to Schreitz himself. He records frequently, often in the mornings at the shared jam space at Rockin’ Rollers, when other musicians are likely still in bed. He plays all the instruments, layers backing and lead vocals and has complete artistic freedom. Occasionally, collaboration does nothing but complicate an already sound solo formula. Live, however, it would be a treat to see what started as intimate bedroom pop fleshed out by an expansive band. While soft-spoken and thoughtful in nature, one hopes Schreitz -Will Schreitz would put his foot down when needed and keep the integrity of his songs intact, but he says that attitude has led to mixed results. He initially built a band of friends to play the material from his 2017 EP, Rivers. “I was kind of calling the shots and that was cool,” he recalls, “but it felt limited.” Thus, the search becomes about a balance between a pop and modern classical mindset; a balance between a single voice and how it can interact with many; and a balance between dancing and standing still. The material is strong enough to withstand complication and expansion—and anyway, it’s in good hands.
What a Knockout! Will Schreitz evolves into a bedroom pop auteur
BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
he room went through a strange transition the first time I saw William KO, the most recent musical side project by Will Schreitz of Cult Tourist. Schreitz gripped the microphone, eyes closed, singing to a backing track of recorded music. He was still, focused, and the audience stood in a sort of quiet reverence, afraid to disturb him. The music pulsed, though, played through pop tropes distorted by odd whimsy; the drum track banged. After just two songs, everyone—no matter how shy—started dancing. By the end of the modest set, it was hard to recall how everyone had begun at a standstill, and Schreitz’ performance was one of those quiet moments of ecstasy in a sparsely attended warehouse show that remind you why you shake off your after-work fatigue and get out there. Schreitz has undergone numerous transformations as a musician since moving to Santa Fe about six years ago. Originally more preoccupied with acoustic music, he would often be seen busking on the Plaza or outside La Montañita Co-op in the Solana Center. “I grew up with music on the radio. I didn’t grow up around people playing music, so a lot of what I listened to was pop music,” Schreitz tells SFR. “I got interested in acoustic music because I wanted to know about folk music and roots stuff, then I just got interested in
recording music and doing something like what I heard on the radio as a kid.” Those pop music touchstones are unmistakable, especially the Prince-like cry that splits through Schreitz’ most recent single “Truth” that otherwise disrupts the passionate calm of his tenor. There is an otherworldliness to his version of pop that goes beyond radio hits of the past or present—a haunted quality that is informed by the modern pop composer archetypes like Arthur Russell, Jonathan Richman or Ariel Pink. In addition to the spell cast by his live performance, Schreitz’ vision feels magnetic at a time when so few musicians seem to have a point of view beyond “being in a band sounds like fun!” In today’s over-saturated market, it’s easy to gauge from creative output whether someone is intimately familiar with what they actually want. But the control inherent with the solo act comes with complications for Schreitz. “I’ve had a number of people that I’ve played with, and that was really fun. I was also performing like this before, and there’s something that’s powerful about just one person with a microphone,” he says. “But it can also feel kind of campy; I also like to control everything, and I have a vision, but in the end, I think it is about people playing music together. Not this special person, but lots of people getting involved.” It remains to be seen what affect a band would have on Schreitz’ recorded
There’s something that’s powerful about just one person with a microphone.
Will Schreitz stands alone to offer you pop greatness like the limited edition cassette, Live at My House.

n Kelley Wilks’ live-in studio, six artists huddle around a table. Most of them are from the Second Street Art Collective, of which Wilks is a founding member. They have come to enlighten and possibly recruit two prospective members, but there is no sure sell. Space and resources are discussed, benefits are promoted, a tour is planned. The prospective members don’t make a decision right away, but Wilks is optimistic regardless. The Second Street Studios complex (which you may know best via Back Road Pizza) is a labyrinth of offices and livein artist spaces jam-packed together. It describes itself as a community of artists, but also hosts bakers, chocolatiers and pilates studios. Some art studios have a logo taped to the window showing membership in Second Street Art Collective, or 2AC, as they acronymize themselves. Some are painters, some are clay artists, some are sculptors, others are a mix of disciplines. They have no central building or gallery space, instead choosing to meet up at the studios of whomever wishes to host. Some studios have little galleries of their own but, as a collective, each member fills a specific role. One handles the website, another deals with finance, another fulfills graphic design needs; the list goes on. Many of 2AC’s 16 members are veteran professionals, having made a living

from art for quite some time. Some are new to Santa Fe. And unlike some other art collectives, they are fully independent of one another, working on their own pieces and selling them in a variety of galleries and spaces. “It’s been growing at a surprising rate,” says Wendy Foster, a co-founder and self-described “bossiest” of the group. She adds that, by joining together, member artists can help expand each other’s audience. “You’ll go to Kelley’s studio, and she’ll send you to Linda [Storm]’s, and so on,” Foster says. “We started it because we had a desire for community,” Wilks explains. “In a tighter group, it’s easier to get motivated. As artists, we tend to get into our niche too much. This gets us out.” Rather than buying into the competitive nature of the art world, 2AC’s members are more like friendly neighbors, borrowing each other’s supplies and trading pieces of advice on things like methodology, studio practice, even doing taxes. At one point
during the meeting, Foster offers to lend another member her etch press, and the artist gladly accepts. It’s this level of camaraderie that allows the members to prepare for 2AC’s monthly open studios, to which the public is invited— another selling point for the prospective members. “The second Friday of every month, we open our studios,” Fosters tells the newcomers. “It’s a punch to get people into the area. We’ve made some headway, and I’ve gathered at least 15 people into my studio.” During the open studios, visitors get a map of the studios participating that month, where they can pop in and observe the artist’s personal work space, ask questions and buy artwork. “The best thing about it is that people can see the art in the artist’s studio,” co-founder Linda Storm tells SFR. “They can talk to the artist about their work, hear their personal story—which is necessary, because all art is personal—and they can purchase directly from the art-
ist. There is no middle man.” Currently, 2AC has no solid plans to expand its event repertoire beyond the open studios, but that is likely to change; changes to the monthly open studios and entirely new events are on members’ minds. As the tour becomes more popular and the collective becomes bigger, more elements of the ever-growing Triangle District neighborhood are likely to be incorporated, too (even just up and down Second Street and San Mateo, there are dozens more businesses and services that could be be mined for participation). The open studios stand a chance to become an important touchstone for artists and practitioners living and working in the neighborhood, and represent a robust showing of everything the community has to offer. SECOND STREET ARTS COLLECTIVE OPEN STUDIOS 5-8 pm Friday Nov. 9. Free. Second Street Studios, 1807 Second St., 2acsf.com.

The Higher Education Center 1950 Siringo Rd., Santa Fe, NM
WHERE: In May, Museum of Spanish Colonial Art curator Jana Gottshalk kicked off her brainchild exhibit GenNext: Future So Bright. It was a fantastic contemporary showing of over 20 artists in the vein of reinterpreted traditional ephemera, surprising mediums, religious iconography, cultural connectivity and beyond. The show proved so popular, in fact, that the museum is rebooting, reconfiguring, adding numerous new artists and otherwise continuing to celebrate the next generation of Hispanic artist living in Santa Fe. Find the opening for GenNext: Reboot this Friday evening (5:30 pm. Free. 750 Camino Lejo, 982-2226); find thoughts from Gottshalk below. (Alex De Vore)

SAVE THE DATE!
What made you decide to curate a reboot? There was a decision to extend the show before I made this reboot decision, so based on that, and that a few of the pieces have been promised elsewhere, I sort of thought this is an awesome opportunity to give a little bit of a fresh new look to the show. This is a small town, and the people who’ve seen it already—I want them to come back. Is it hard to curate contemporary works in a town that is a bit attached to tradition? It was hard for a number of reasons, but I’d never dealt with contemporary work before. All my experience was in Spanish Colonial art, historical art. For me to do this, I thought of it in terms of historical context. I was looking for work that spoke to me through the lens of a historical Spanish style. The show was my concept, I did create the concept, and I do like to present myself with challenges—but it actually turned out to be easier than I thought, because once I started looking for it, I was seeing the ties to the culture and the religion. If there’s one thing you wish everyone knew about the show, what would it be? There is a lot of research that goes into this. It’s based on a lot of history. If you come in and read the labels, you’ll see a lot of thought went into the show. One thing I really want people to realize is that just because [artists] are younger doesn’t mean they aren’t very tied to the culture. The choices they make, the art they’re creating— this generation is very knowledgable about the culture and making pieces based on what they know in a very respectful tone. I think some of the work can be read as a disregard of culture when it’s a total love and celebration of culture.

Eat in Eldorado Critical mass for dining out, out there e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m JOY GODFREY

claim as one of the closest long-term food and drink providers. The sprawling restaurant’s brunch game remains strong. It also recently enclosed its front porch patio, adding more tables that serve as overflow for the nearly-always-a-waitlist favorite that’s been in business for about 25 years. Café Fina (624 Old Las Vegas Hwy., 466-3886) operates from the site of a former Fina gas station for brunch and dinner, too, but it’s not a hole in the wall. Watch for the friendly restaurant cat who lounges all over the place, including on SFR’s distribution box outside. Eldorado’s other shopping center, La Tienda, is home to La Plancha (7 Caliente Road, 466-2060), serving food with Salvardoran flare for more than five years. Two pizza joints are also on offer, and both are have operations that are popular inside the city limits. The Agora location for Pizza Centro (7 Avenida Vista Grande, 466-3161) was actually Nathan Aufrichtig’s first of what became three storefronts; others are downtown and on the Southside. While having competition from Upper Crust (5 Colina Drive, 471-1111) is new in the last few years, he’s not concerned it will be adverse. With about four employees, Pizza Centro opens Wednesday through Sunday and is going on 10 years in business. Aufrichtig has weathered the storms of opening up shop with a limited pool of customers. “It’s a small community,” he says. “A new place opens up and it hits you for about six months and then it goes right back to the way it was. It’s a little up and down.” The reason his shop stays up? “People know good taste.”

ts signature windmill still spins along the highway like it did when Eldorado was mostly ranch land, but as it now holds more than 2,500 homes and a smattering of businesses, the community has become more than just spacious bedroom estates for people who do most of their shopping and eating out in Santa Fe. The 2010 census put the population for the subdivision at 6,100, and that’s not counting surrounding areas that are just a stitch more rural. It feels to us like the region’s restaurateurs seem to finally be settling in with a critical mass. Now, some are even drawing diners from the city instead of vice versa. Renée Fox and Dave Readyhough opened a new restaurant in the summer of 2017 at the Agora Center. It’s a spot that has long been a revolving door of short-lived concepts—but this time, it seems like it will stick. Arable (7 Avenida Vista Grande, Ste. B-6, 303-3816) is a 46-seat restaurant that’s gained a loyal following from both patrons of the couple’s Loyal Hound in Santa Fe and from Eldorado’s residents. Fox says it’s also because of a willingness to ride out the first year with vigor. “I think you have to have a commitment to what you are doing, to what your vision is and be able to respond to the community,” she says. “Like, our logo is a pig, but people come in here with the expectation of having, like, an expansive vegan selection. … So, we altered the menu to make sure that we were being inclusive, regardless of if that’s our eating style or not. Because that is who is out here. So we want to be able to feed everybody as much as possible.” The Tuesday to Saturday dinner crowd, she says, is steady, but they’re still working on luring brunchers. Nearby staple Harry’s Roadhouse (96 B Old Las Vegas Hwy., 989-4629) isn’t exactly in Eldorado, but lays

Bohemian Rhapsody Review Under pressure
BEST MOVIE EVER

MOVIES
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
After years in limbo, Bohemian Rhapsody, the story of Queen, has finally hit theaters after the loss of Sacha Baron Cohen as Freddie Mercury and the famous firing of director Bryan Singer. And it’s fine as biopics go, though absolutely problematic the more you peel back the veneer. The probably mostly already-known story of Queen follows the legendary rock band from meager beginnings to parade of hits, label interference, interpersonal strife and love and family issues—right up to the much-beloved 1985 LiveAid concert, dubbed by many as one of the finest performances by a rock act of all time; some photos and text-crawling fills in a handful of gaps thereafter. Rami Malek is fantastic as Mercury, however, all bluster and melodrama hiding a palpable self-loathing and sexual confusion. It’s unfortunate, then, that his embodiment of Mercury helps tell only a half-tale. Because while we’re busy tapping our toes and elbowing our pals in the theater because we totally know that song, Rhapsody inconveniently reduces Mercury, his queerness and his Parsi roots down to a couple throwaway scenes or oversimplified dialog in favor of proving how close the band was, how innovative they were in the studio, how ahead of their time they were and how much everyone loved them. But we already knew that, didn’t we?
5 + MALEK IS
GREAT; THE MUSIC, OBVIOUSLY - REDUCTIVE AND OVERSIMPLIFIED; DUMB MIKE MEYERS JOKE
Yes, we get a line about Mercury’s bisexuality here or the evidence of his well-known hedonism there, but these moments are few and fleeting. We’re told Mercury was lonely even in crowds; we’re front and center for his coming-out to lifelong friend Mary Austin (Lucy Boynton); we see the pressures of fame piling on though unsurprisingly not solving problems—but we never truly get into their consequences, nor do we pick up any particularly new information about Mercury’s Parsi ethnicity or how he must have struggled coming to grips with his queerness. How about that scene in the rain with “Under Pressure” piping in from the background, though? Feels good! Right up until it doesn’t. But the end of the feel-goods doesn’t come from the knowledge that Mercury contracted AIDS and died, never really reconnected with his family, that the reunion of the band was businesslike or that he never felt OK
when he wasn’t onstage; it comes instead from realizing that a mainstream film had a chance to really dial up the representation and attempt to get us into the head of the finest voice in rock ‘n’ roll history, but chose musical montage or silly Mike Meyers jokes (seriously) time and time again instead. This is disappointing in a way that even Malek’s tremendous performance—and perfectly fine turns from most of the rest of the cast—can’t quite make up for. We must instead take solace in how Bohemian Rhapsody might introduce a new generation to Queen’s music, because it really was fantastic—no matter how much it can’t represent the real core of the story. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY Directed by Singer With Malek, Bynton and probably some other people but whatever Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 134 min.

+ LAMBASTS THE HORROR GENRE; ALYSON HANNIGAN
- TOO SELF-REFERENTIAL
Director and writer Brett Simmons certainly loves horror movie cliches—he’s crafted an entire film around them with You Might Be the Killer. But whereas other films that have attempted to turn the genre on its head and poke fun at its most hallowed plot devices and scare tactics have embraced nuance and subtlety, Simmons gleefully calls attention to the humor and camp at all times. It’s present-ish day, and head summer camp counselor Sam (The Cabin in the Woods’ Fran Kranz) prepares his staff for the incoming kiddos and a summer full of lake dives, nature hikes and friendship bracelets. But when the staff’s bodies start piling up at the hands of a mysterious killer, Sam’s would-be off-the-grid summer turns into a mad dash for survival. Or does it? See, turns out Sam’s actually the killer himself, and he carries out his nefarious deeds while in the midst of recurring blackouts caused by a creepy mask that’s a little bit Halloween and a whole lot Friday the 13th. Normally, we’d have avoided the spoiler that is identifying the killer, but You Might Be the Killer isn’t trying to hide it. It’s a “twist”

thon playing out in real life on the other end of the phone. But, sadly, whenever a scene lacks Chuck, it almost always lacks laughs. Over-the-top is forgivable and even enjoyable if it isn’t relentless, and Killer often feels like it’s relentlessly reminding us what it is. Such a tack will certainly speak to horror fans and even casual enjoyers of the genre, but without having done the proper homework, potential viewers may wind up confused or irritated. And that would be OK, too, if it weren’t for numerous ham-fisted jokes that feel tired rather than self-referential or some of the most boring performances we’ve seen in ages. In other words, we were just looking to have fun—and did—but without a firm foundation of horror knowledge or a love of camp (both summer and humor), You Might Be the Killer feels too niche.

demo’s feelings and nostalgia to middling results. It’s the mid-’90s, and 13-year old Stevie (a tiny Sunny Suljic) is hitting that terrible age where one is willing to die to look cool; where one begins making questionable decisions, hates their mother and develops friendships for the first time not out of schoolyard proximity, but tangible emotions, even if they’re spurred by hormones. Despite obvious adulation for his abusive hip-hopobsessed older brother, Stevie starts forming his own personality within the world of skateboard burnouts, sage-like older kids, drug and alcohol experimentation and one of the most uncomfortable sex scenes in the history of movies. And though Mid90s can be commended for attempting to capture the feel of a subculture from a very specific era, and very nearly succeeds, for every moment of sincerity, there are about a dozen more that border on the manipulative— like the opening shot that scans over a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bedspread to the Super Nintendo controller, or Stevie’s wardrobe of Ren & Stimpy and Beavis and Butthead tees.

casting of relative unknowns in the roles of his pals recalls Larry Clark’s then-controversial 1995 film in the same vein, Kids. Hill probably liked that movie very much and isn’t afraid to wear its influence on his sleeve, but we’d have preferred a bit more character study over any number of drawnout montages or reductive glances at what we assume was mental illness, poverty, peer pressure, alcoholism and good old-fashioned teen years sucking. Fantastic Beasts’ Katherine Waterston is so fleeting and inconsequential as Stevie’s mother that we wonder why Hill even bothered, outside of a weak attempt at establishing a moral compass. Stevie’s brother (Lucas Hedges) feels pointless as well, but Na-kel Smith as Ray, the voice of reason, will surely draw well-deserved attention for an onscreen ease we rarely see from an actor so young. But in the end, the closest thing to a message or moral we can extract is that kids are going to do stupid shit and cave to pressures often, though we don’t actually see the consequences of these actions in any meaningful way save a too-quick wrap-up that feels like pretty much nothing. Good soundtrack, though. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 84 min.

FIRST MAN
+ SELF-AWARE; FUN; KILLER SOUND - SOME FORCED RED HERRINGS; A FEW TOO-DUMB PLOT TWISTS
Oh. Em. Gee. It’s been 40 years since John Carpenter’s original Halloween found Michael Myers and his Shatner mask (look it up, nerds) terrorizing Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her pals, and now he’s back in sequel-butmaybe-also-kind-of-a-reboot form, and he’s up to his old tricks again. The new Halloween comes to us courtesy of Carpenter and Curtis, who produce here, but also screenwriter/producer Danny McBride (yes, from Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals) and director David Gordon Green (an executive producer on Vice Principals). And whereas no one can say this entry is particularly great or anything, it does do itself a favor by cherry-picking elements from other films in the series, putting the kibosh on others and picking up in the wake of Michael’s escape from a mental institution— always an exciting premise. Over the years, Laurie Strode has been preparing herself in case her arch enemy should ever return. She’s been firing guns and building traps and dabbling in the art of hand-to-hand combat. That’s all well and good, and Curtis can definitely pull off tough, but it turns out that by also trying to prepare her daughter (Judy Greer) for the serial killer, she’s caused rifts in her family that are tough to heal. Enter her granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak, who has mostly done TV before now) and her high school contemporaries played by ultra-attractive 20-somethings (who you just know are cruising for a bruising), a couple of podcast producers for some reason and a face or two from the original film, and you’ve really got something—namely, a horror flick that knows what it is, pays homage in all the right ways and understands when it’s time to not take itself too seriously. Yes, there are jump-scares and a few moments of borderline hysterical gore, and these bits are fun, but Halloween truly excels in the sound design department. From nerve-wracking footsteps just outside the door or the squish of a knife, to the subtle buzz of fluorescent lights or rhythmic breathing, whoever did Foley on this thing deserves an Oscar. But we still don’t get our questions answered, and one always wonders why teenagers find themselves unable to resist the call of going to check out what that sound was upstairs. It’s just as well, though, and Halloween certainly proves a highlight in the series from both the nostalgic and throwback horror standpoints. This one’s for you, Carpenter fans, and everyone else who rents the original after they see this one first. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 106 min.

+ THE DANGER OF SPACE TRAVEL - A LITTLE HEAVY AT TIMES
At one point in Damien Chazelle’s glorious First Man, Janet Armstrong (Claire Foy), the wife of famed astronaut Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling), dresses down some self-assured NASA administrators, comparing them to “a bunch of boys making models out of balsa wood.” Part of the genius of the La La Land director’s biopic about the first human to walk on the moon is that it effectively portrays both the majesty and the folly of the space program. Chazelle embodies that dichotomy with the inclusion of two poems: pilot John Gillespie Magee’s “High Flight,” which marvels at having “slipped the surly bonds of earth,” and Gil Scott-Heron’s 1970 recording of “Whitey on the Moon”: “I can’t pay no doctor bill / But Whitey’s on the moon / Ten years from now I’ll be payin’ still / While Whitey’s on the moon.” Adapted from James R Hansen’s biography of the same name, First Man is unambiguous on one issue: the bravery and ingenuity of the test pilots and astronauts who faced death daily for the sake of history. Even the best entries in the space-film genre tend to sterilize interstellar travel, often portraying it as sleek and futuristic. First Man, better and more aggressively than any of its peers, conveys the grimy, harrowing mechanics of the early space program. Yes, there are scenes in which Chazelle pays homage to those cinematic predecessors, chiefly a portion of the Gemini 8 mission set to a waltz that’s an obvious paean to 2001: A Space Odyssey. But with the partial exception of the Apollo 11 moon shot, every rocket launch is filmed from a claustrophobic perspective inside the spacecraft, where every roar, shutter, and creak of the capsule carries palpable dread. Chazelle shows the astronauts to be more than just guinea pigs strapped atop Roman candles. Armstrong, an engineering egghead and civilian test pilot, must make numerous life-or-death decisions through his career; some demonstrate his intelligence and some call into question whether he has the right stuff. His courage and skill shine during a trio of action sequences, some of the most thrilling you’re likely to see this year. The film opens with Armstrong kissing the cosmos during a breathtaking—and failed—X-15 test flight. His courage under fire burns brightest during the aborted Gemini 8 mission, which ends with his craft violently tumbling through space. Finally, accompanied by Justin Hurwitz’ soaring orchestration, Armstrong navigates a gripping, poignant descent of the Eagle Module to the lunar surface.

Over the eight years covered in the film, the Armstrongs live with death, from those of nameless pilot friends to their cancer-stricken young daughter to the launchpad fire that incinerated the Apollo 1 crew. When Gosling occasionally becomes a brooding cipher, Foy is there to refocus the narrative on the emotional toll exacted by his heroic destiny. Aided by cinematographer Linus Sandgren’s handheld camerawork, much of First Man is a meditative portrait of a taciturn yet resolute hero whose achievements are less about one small step for a man than a giant leap for mankind.

There are parallels between actor Robert Redford and Forrest Tucker, the real-life career criminal who robbed banks until the ripe old age of 79, and who Redford portrays in his newest film. For one, they’re both old and respectable dudes who did what they loved throughout his career. Old Man & the Gun is Redford’s much-ballyhooed final film, and it’s a fitting send-off for the end of a Hollywood legend’s long career. The movie is fittingly about the end of Tucker’s career and his relationship with a woman named Jewel (Sissy Spacek). He’s a handsome, charming guy who cracks a delicious smile while revealing the big iron tucked in his overcoat. There’s also the cop John Hunt (Casey Affleck) tasked with catching Tucker and his cohorts, who are played by Danny Glover and Tom Waits. Affleck struggles with his respect for Tucker’s passion and suavity. Unsurprisingly, banks are robbed and consequences ensue, but since the principal characters are old, the fallout doesn’t seem too awful. The relationships between these characters feels natural. Redford and Spacek’s chemistry is spot-on, with romantic moments between them subtle and charming, while Affleck and Redford’s dynamic is compelling—almost like a friendship instead of a cat-and-mouse rivalry. There’s a distinct nostalgic tone that remarkably doesn’t venture too far into the cultural context of the time; the music is upbeat and smooth, drawing you into the 1980s and setting the scene, but never shoving the pop culture of the day down your throat. Yet the plot isn’t particularly cohesive, nor are there many moments of suspense. In one scene, Tucker’s in Dallas, then he’s in St. Louis and then he’s right back in Dallas again. Similarly, Hunt’s struggle with his respect for Tucker versus his professional obligation to catch a criminal isn’t as developed as it should be. Furthermore, it’s made obvious that Tucker’s going to get caught at some point, and his attempts at avoiding capture seem pointless as a result—this defuses much of the potential tension. Towards the end, Redford sits on a horse wearing a thick poncho and a widebrimmed hat. On the horizon, cop cars roll by as the night turns to dawn. Tucker is, in the end, still a cowboy, but it’s time for him to ride off into the sunrise. Perhaps that is melodramatic, but The Old Man & the Gun is swathed in sentiment, and is every bit about Redford as it is Tucker. (Layne Radlauer) Center for Contemporary Arts, PG-13, 93 min.

VENOM

CINEMA
+ MORE FUN THAN YOU’D THINK - CITIZEN KANE THIS AIN’T, BUT IS THAT A BAD THING?
It’s a little weird to make a Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man, but Tom Hardy and company come pretty close to awesome with Venom. See, the rights to Marvel Comics properties are basically a mess. Some studios own certain characters, others own other characters, and what you get is movies that are forced to navigate some seriously tricky licensing. That said, Venom is certainly a raucous good time, even if it ultimately feels a tad anemic, at least right up until the mid-credits scene (no spoilers, but you’re gonna wanna see it). Hardy is Eddie Brock, a Vice-esque journalist who runs afoul of a bazillionaire and scruples-free scientist type named Carlton Drake (Nightcrawler‘s Riz Ahmed) the very same week he loses his job and girlfriend (a there but it doesn’t much matter Michelle Williams). Seems Drake has been human-testing some crazy alien shit, and when a scientist played by Jenny Slate (Parks and Recreation) develops a conscience, Eddie is thrust into a symbiotic relationship with a parasitic creature named Venom who can make him all strong and acrobatic and stuff. It’s dumb, yeah, but the interplay between Eddie and Venom is both charmingly funny and kind of kickass—be it in moments wherein the pair sprints up buildings or climbs space-bound rockets or bites people’s heads off. Hardy is oddly fantastic as a scared man coming to terms with his newfound lot in life, and Ahmed’s understated villain does get pretty creepy, we only wish they’d developed him a little more. Fans of the comics will probably find more things to like than those walking in cold, but as far as comic book action movies go, Venom is certainly one of the more fun entries out there. Director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) surely realized he had a wonderful opportunity to embrace more comedic elements here and ran with it, and good for him. Now, assuming you don’t have some chip on your shoulder about refusing to like dumb/fun comic book movies, it should be a breeze to sit back and watch the heads pop. Go nuts.

“CATCH ME DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!” HOW TO BE THE LEADER YOUR DOG NEEDS Free Presentation Tonight! Wednesday, November 7, 2018 6:30pm - 7:30pm LaFarge Public Library 1730 Llano Street, Santa Fe One of the reasons we have a dog is so we can be with the dog, right? It’s all about quality of relationship. But without communication and understanding, quality of relationship can suffer and, all too often, behavior problems ensue. What does a dog need to be in a healthy relationship? Leadership and advocacy. Dogs feel better when they know their place in the world, and it’s not being the decision maker. So just HOW do we lead in a way that makes dogs feel safe, included and supported? How do we communicate loving leadership in a conversation that THEY can understand through body language, voice, tone and intent? Join Dog Trainer David Crosby and Volunteer Trainer Gaia (“Gen”) Richards for this free discussion on how to be the leader your dog needs & how to advocate for your dog. David specializes in training dogs with behavior problems. He is involved in K9 search and rescue and also offers structured agility training for confidence building. His website is www.Wabniaq-k9.com Please do NOT bring your dog to this event.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of November 7th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1994, Aries pop diva Mariah Carey collaborated with an associate to write the song “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” It took them 15 minutes to finish it. Since then it has generated $60 million in royalties. I wish I could unconditionally predict that you, too, will efficiently spawn a valuable creation sometime soon. Current planetary alignments do indeed suggest that such a development is more possible than usual. But because I tend to be conservative in my prophecies, I won’t guarantee anything close to the $60-million figure. In fact, your reward may be more spiritual in nature than financial.
a further clue from poet Anna Kamienska: “Where your pain is, there your heart lies also.” (P.S. Rumi is translated by Coleman Barks; Kamienska by Clare Cavanagh.)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An interactive post at Reddit.com asked readers to write about “the most underrated feeling of all time.” One person said, “When you change the sheets on your bed.” Another extolled “the feeling that comes when you pay all your bills and you’ve still got money in the bank.” Others said, “dancing under the rain,” “physical contact like a pat on the back when you’re really touch starved,” and “listening to a song for the first time and it’s so good you just can’t stop smiling.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because I suspect that the next two weeks will bring you a flood of these pleasurable underrated feelings. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer,” wrote Gemini author Henry Lawson. Do you have any methods for making yourself feel like you’ve drunk a few beers that don’t involve drinking a few beers? If not, I highly recommend that you find at least one. It will be especially important in the coming weeks for you to have a way to alter, expand, or purify your consciousness without relying on literal intoxicants or drugs. The goal: to leave your groove before it devolves into a rut.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Artist David Hockney is proud of how undemanding he is toward his friends and associates. “People tell me they open my e-mails first,” he says, “because they aren’t demands and you don’t need to reply. They’re simply for pleasure.” He also enjoys giving regular small gifts. “I draw flowers every day and send them to my friends so they get fresh blooms.” Hockney seems to share the perspective expressed by author Gail Godwin, who writes, “How easy it was to make people happy, when you didn’t want or need anything from them.” In accordance with astrological omens, Libra, I suggest you have fun employing these approaches in the coming weeks. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I am not currently a wanderer or voyager or entrepreneur or swashbuckler. But at other times in my life, I have had extensive experience with those roles. So I know secrets about how and why to be a wanderer and voyager and entrepreneur and swashbuckler. And it’s clear to me that in the coming weeks you could benefit in unforeseen ways from researching and embodying the roles of curious wanderer and brave voyager and savvy entrepreneur and prudent swashbuckler.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain.” That brilliant formulation came from poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Does it seem so obvious as to not need mentioning? Bear with me while I draw further meaning from it, and suggest you use it as an inspiring metaphor in the coming weeks. When it rains, Sagittarius, let it rain; don’t waste time and emotional energy complaining about the rain. Don’t indulge in fruitless fantasizing about how you might stop the rain and how you’d love to stop the rain. In fact, please refrain from CANCER (June 21-July 22): Study the following five defining the rain as a negative event, because after all, it is failed predictions. 1. “There is no likelihood man can ever perfectly natural, and is in fact crucial for making the crops tap the power of the atom.” —Robert Miliham, Nobel grow and replenishing our water supply. (P.S. Your metaLaureate in Physics, 1923. 2. “This ‘telephone’ has too phorical “rain” will be equally useful.) many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Every true love and friendship is a story of unexpected transformation,” value to us.” —Western Union internal memo, 1876. 3. writes activist and author Elif Shafak. “If we are the “Rail travel at high speeds is not possible because passame person before and after we loved, that means we sengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia.” – Dionysius Lardner, scientist, 1830. 4. “There is no reason haven’t loved enough.” I bring this to your attention because you’re in a phase when your close alliances anyone would want a computer in their home.” —Ken Olson, president of Digital Equipment Corporation, 1977. should be activating healing changes in your life. If for some reason your alliances are not yet awash in the 5. “Most Cancerians will never overcome their tendencies toward hypersensitivity, procrastination, and fear of exciting emotions of redemption and reinvention, get success.” —Lanira Kentsler, astrologer, 2018. (P.S. What started on instigating experimental acts of intimacy. you do in the next 12 months could go a long way AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I suspect you will be an toward permanently refuting the last prediction.) especially arousing influence in the coming weeks. You LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): German scientists have created cochlear implants for gerbils that have been genetically modified, enabling the creatures to “listen” to light. The researchers’ work is ultimately dedicated to finding ways to improve the lives of people with hearing impairments. What might be the equivalent of you gaining the power to “hear light”? I understand that you might resist thinking this way. “That makes no sense,” you may protest, or “There’s no practical value in fantasizing about such an impossibility.” But I hope you’ll make the effort anyway. In my view, stretching your imagination past its limits is the healing you need most right now. I also think that doing so will turn out to be unexpectedly practical.
may also be inspiring and disorienting, with unpredictable results. How many transformations will you unleash? How many expectations will you dismantle? How many creative disruptions will you induce in the midst of the daily grind? I hesitate to underestimate the messy beauty you’ll stir up or the rambunctious gossip you’ll provoke. In any case, I plan to be richly amused by your exploits, and I hope everyone else will be, as well. For best results, I will pray to the Goddess of Productive Fun, begging Her to ensure that the commotions and uproars you catalyze will be in service to love and kindness.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson wasn’t always a wild and crazy writer. Early in his career he made an effort to compose respectable, VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here’s useful wisdom from measured prose. When he finally gave up on that project the poet Rumi. “Our defects are the ways that glory gets and decided he could “get away with” a more uninhibitmanifested,” he said. “Keep looking at the bandaged ed style, he described it as being “like falling down an place. That’s where the light enters you.” Playwright elevator shaft and landing in a pool full of mermaids.” I Harrison David Rivers interprets Rumi’s words to mean, foresee a metaphorically comparable development in “Don’t look away from your pain, don’t disengage from your future, Pisces. it, because that pain is the source of your power.” I think Homework: When they say “Be yourself,” which self do these perspectives are just what you need to meditate on, Virgo. To promote even more healing in you, I’ll add they mean? Testify at FreeWillAstrology.com.
