NEED MORE INFO A lot of people, including teachers, think the Lujan [Grisham] administration is pro-education and wise about schools. This proves otherwise. I’ve been a little skeptical up until this point, and now I’m even more skeptical. To claim, on one hand, that you’re expanding summer school (and trying to make schools better and more rigorous), and then do something which limits and hamstrings those schools, is bizarre and harmful. Education “experts” tend to not know much, in my opinion. I would also add that if you’re claiming to expand a program, then building in rules which clearly limit it, explanations are needed. Where is the money going, if fewer schools will participate?

I think it’s a bit disturbing that Ben Ray Luján ignored the climate holocaust for the past 10 years, ignoring the climate scientists, world experts, tens of millions of constituents. Students had to organize a national school strike, and have millions of kids literally begging for their lives in order to get his attention.

“REP. BEN RAY LUJÁN ENDORSES GREEN NEW DEAL”
You may want to rethink your “quick to dismiss as humor” cartoon regarding wind turbines and cancer. High-voltage lines are a necessary component and have a proven cancer link. Germany, which is one of the largest users of turbines, has experienced health issues for those living and working near them. It is interesting that many people accept that wind turbines are a clean source of energy when in fact they are a threat to wildlife, killing thousands of migrating birds yearly and disrupting underground habitats. Sound vibrations affect insect motility. Extremely large tracks of land are required and disrupt the natural climate of the area. Converted energy is not able to be stored in large amounts. The installation cost of one turbine is over two million dollars! It is a very inefficient and unhealthy source of energy. People would be better served to do their research and journalists most especially have a responsibility to give information that is not misleading and biased.

Still not enough for schools Despite a projected increase of $7.1 million in state funds, SPFS still faces a budget deficit for the coming year BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
D
espite a projected increase of $7.1 million in state funds allocated to Santa Fe Public Schools for next year through legislation designed to meet the requirements of the YazzieMartinez lawsuit, including money for at-risk students and employee salaries, the SFPS budget for the 2019-2020 school year is still looking at a deficit of $2.3 million. In part, that’s because the $2.55 million in additional funding that the district brought in from the 2017 sale of the Alvord Elementary School campus is running out, and the district now faces choices about what programs to keep and which to cut, according a new budget report presented to the board on April 22. “There’s no question that we have a lot of tough decisions to make,” said board President Kate Noble at the meeting. About $6.7 million of the $7.1 million generated by changes made to New Mexico’s education funding formula will go directly to the 6% salary increase that was part of a judge’s mandate in the Yazzie-Martinez case. There’s no question that teachers and staff at Santa Fe schools need the raise. Salaries for support staff such as secretaries, school bus drivers and custodians stayed the same or rose by no more than 3% per year between school years 2014-2015 and 2017-2018, and for some categories of employees, salaries actually dropped by as much as 1.5%, the report says. Though salaries for some did increase by 6% last year. Teacher pay in New Mexico has historically been lower than surrounding states, making it hard to retain talent. Yet with most of the new state funding going to salary increases next year, there’s little left over in the SFPS budget to cover other costs such as increase in utilities, employee benefits, and board initiatives designed to combat low math, science and literacy rates.
The Alvord campus sale provided the board with a non-recurring funding source for a few years of additional learning initiatives such as professional development for teachers, safety and school counseling, athletic departments, first-grade literacy, expansion of computer science programs, and other math and science initiatives. District Assistant Superintendent Jeff Gephart tells SFR the board knew funds for these initiatives would eventually run out and designed them with this fate in mind by strategically investing in staff training, materials, and pilot programs that required large sums to get off the ground but will require less money going forward. Still, to make up the $2.3 million dollar deficit, some things will need to get cut altogether. In a state that ranked 50th in public education in 2018 according to several national studies and reports, members of the SFPS Board of Education regard the continuation of these programs as crucial to the success of Santa Fe students. “Science embedded in the fourth grade. First-grade literacy. Is that important to us or not?” asked board member Steven Carrillo, who railed against the Legislature for not providing enough funding to continue existing initiatives targeted towards at-risk students, such as Community In Schools, a program that uses some public money to place coordinators into Santa Fe schools with the highest percentages of at-risk students to help identify what extra support services they might need to succeed. Board member Maureen Cashmon says CIS “was part of what the YazzieMartinez lawsuit was about. Our kids need more in the classroom, they need those wraparound services, they need those councilors, those social workers.” “We cannot compromise in HR and recruitment, because if we start cutting off the inputs of our teachers, we are strangling ourselves,” said Noble. Absent cuts, the funds might come from the SFPS cash balance, which could lower its bond rating. “We would hate to see any of these things not funded,” Superintendent Veronica Garcia said at the meeting. “We’ll just have to keep working on figuring out how to make our programs more efficient.”

Saving or Scrimping? Specialized college savings accounts can be a boon for New Mexicans. The only question: Which ones?
BY W I L L CO ST E L LO w i l l @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
F
or the most part, in terms of education, New Mexico ranks towards the bottom of most categories. In Education Week magazine’s annual Quality Counts report, released in January, New Mexico came in last nationwide in its “Chance-for-Success Index.” According to data from the US Department of Education, New Mexico also has the second-highest default rate on student loan debt, beat out only by West Virginia for that dubious superlative. There is at least one obscure element of the education system in which New Mexico does well: 529 college savings accounts. Though these accounts are available in every state, New Mexico’s, which has existed for 22 years, is one of only four that offers unlimited state income tax deductions on money that people put away for college. Those tax-sheltered piggybanks now number around 120,000 statewide and contain over $2 billion, according to The Education Plan, the organization that originates one of the state’s two 529 plans. Although the state’s 529 returns got some bad press shortly after the financial crisis, their performance appears to have improved. Depending on when the plan was started and how much risk was taken on, annual average returns can reach up to 10%. Whether this helps those who don’t have the means to establish a nest egg for their offspring is an open question. Most of the people who are using the accounts are wealthy, and many average people may have never even heard of them. “I think that’s why these plans haven’t been more widely utilized,” Jocelyn Black Hodes, outreach director for The Education Plan, tells SFR. “Because typically the only way someone’s going to hear about it is
through a financial adviser, and relatively, there are few people who have access to a financial adviser or can afford that.” Of course, there’s no criteria for people who want to open an account, and the state’s plan makes it free and easy. Hodes hopes that eventually 529s will become a sort of 401(k) for education—a household name for an investment account that employers participate in. In terms of addressing New Mexico’s immediate educational woes, there might be better policies to pursue. “College savings plans are great, but there’s a lot more we can do at the state level,” says Cirila Estela Vasquez Guzman, a policy analyst for New Mexico Voices for Children. She tells SFR things like education grants, need-based financial aid and funding for public schools matter a lot more—and all those programs are paid for by the very tax base that 529 accounts reduce. Besides, most of the benefits of the accounts go to those who already have the means to contribute, growing their savings and keeping more of their earnings, while less-wealthy people fall behind.
NEWS
Carolyn Slater Whitehill, a Santa Fe retiree who set up 529 accounts for her grandchildren, says that she was glad to contribute, especially considering how expensive college has become for younger generations. “It’s a good thing to do, you know, for people who’ve got the money available toward helping children or grandchildren,” Whitehill tells SFR. For less-well-off people, there are still ways to get benefit from the existence of these accounts. Putting money aside will result in faster growth than savings accounts, and if people without wealth start small early enough, their account could grow to a decent size. Plus, if a parent, grandparent or a student is enrolled in school and is actively making tuition payments, they can open an account, deposit the money in the account and then pay their bill from there, shielding some of their income from taxes even if they are living paycheck to paycheck. Those families would miss out on the relatively highyielding 529’s investment opportunity, but they can at least use the accounts to lower their income taxes slightly. The funds deposited in these accounts can be used for more than just traditional universities, and for more than just tuition. Students of vocational schools, community colleges and online students can use those dollars for every element of their classwork, from computers and equipment to certifications. Room and board are also qualifying expenses. Hodes believes if more people knew about 529s, New Mexico’s education successes might rise, chipping away at those unfavorable statistics, especially if their popularity grows beyond the well-off. But are these savings plans really benefiting everyone, or do they only serve as a tax haven for those with the means to take full advantage of them? “It’s a good question, and it’s one of the most common questions we get,” Hodes says. “Is this really for everybody? Because there’s certainly the stereotype that its just for the privileged few who have a financial adviser telling them, ‘You should use these accounts and I’m going to manage them for you.’ I argue that they absolutely can be for any family that values education.” For more information or to open an account, visit theeducationplan.com.
There’s also risk to consider. Because 529s invest in financial markets, the possibility to lose money in the event of a downturn exists. That risk is outweighed, Hodes says, by the rapidly rising cost of education. In order to keep up, taking on some risk could be the smart move. “It’s a matter of which trade-off you’re more comfortable with,” Hodes says. “Of course if you’re absolutely not comfortable with taking on any risk and subjecting your contributions to stock market fluctuations, maybe this isn’t the right vehicle.”
College savings plans are great, but there’s a lot more we can do at the state level. -Cirila Estela Vasquez Guzman, policy analyst for New Mexico Voices for Children

Passengers have been boarding and alighting from New Mexico Rail Runner trains at the Zia Station since 2017.
iding the train has improved the whole college experience for Kandis Merrill. The Santa Fe Community College student pays just $42 for her monthly commute from Albuquerque, and she has nothing but good things to say. “I commute each day three hours and 40 minutes from the time I get from my door to the door of the college and back to my door. It’s a long time, but I do that because I love this place and I know what is waiting for me here,” she says in the school’s cafeteria after wrapping up a chemistry class. “I love the train too. I try to let people feel sorry for me like it’s an agonizing, daunting task, but I love it. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. … It is a great networking thing, and I get the best afternoon naps, and I am energized and ready for some homework and some house chores.” Now. At first, though, Merrill was frustrated when train and bus schedules didn’t align to get her to class and home again. Failed commuting connections were a drag, so she called up bus planners and called them out. These days, she rides Santa Fe Trails Route 22 buses to and from the train station. After she volunteered to survey potential riders, the city agreed to increase bus service this semester. There’s no decision yet about whether to continue what has so far been a trial period. “This is something I feel that has had a long life of word-of-mouth associations with the train that were kind of a negative,” she says. “It’s going to take a little longer than a semester to get the word out of how easy the experience is.” Merrill’s train tale is a microcosm of the larger ridership challenges for the New Mexico Rail Runner Express. Schedule frequency and trip duration are the greatest hurdles for potential passengers. Local transit planners see the need to work on connectivity with the system, as evidenced by the change for Route 22. Many who live in Northern New Mexico, however, have yet to try riding it, even though the state-owned train enjoys com-
With a safety project looming and low ridership, Rail Runner trains are likely to remain status quo for a few more years 12

How many people are riding?
The number of passengers on a rail line that’s competing with an interstate is directly related to the price of gas. When pump prices start to feel painful, commuters choose transit. So with fuel prices holding in a somewhat cozy pattern, ridership for the New Mexico Rail Runner Express has been on a downward trajectory. Ridership peaked in 2010 and 2011 with more than 1.2 million riders per year, then tanked along with a national trend. In the last fiscal year, fewer than 800,000 passengers rode. Santa Fe Trails city bus service has also seen a decrease. Division Director Keith Wilson says
that’s partly due to fewer trips for connection with train passengers, but there are lots of factors. “It’s not just one simple ‘it’s the gas prices.’ A lot of the research is showing that people’s travel trends have changed,” Wilson says. “So instead of going out and being social with people, they now sit at home and watch Netflix. And so a lot of those kind of non-commute trips are no longer being made, or the convenience of Uber and Lyft and stuff like that has some level. But not any one of them is a major contributor. Each one has somewhat of a small impact that cumulatively, it adds up to reduce ridership.”

fortable popularity with voters. Train managers are aware that slumping ridership needs a boost, and they’ve got ideas about how to do it. But first, the Rail Runner has to get past one more rough spot. “Ultimately I would like to see us be able to run our headways in the corridor where if I showed up to a station without looking at a schedule, I would know that the longest I’m going to have to wait is a half hour; especially if I know it comes on the hour or on the 5-minute mark after the hour, whatever it does. That would be really nice,” says Terry Doyle, transportation director for the Rio Metro Regional Transit District, which contracts with the state to keep the train in service. Doyle pauses. There’s a big but. First, Rio Metro has to comply with a federal mandate to install $60 million worth of computers and GPS equipment for a safety system called positive train control, intended to prevent derailments by keeping engineers from driving too fast for load or terrain conditions. Doyle says only after that can managers even think about track improvements and other changes necessary to grow ridership. “The timing is just awful. If you look nationwide at railroads, most of the railroads that see an increase in ridership also made a significant investment in extending their line into new areas or improving their line or buying more rolling stock so they have better headways, all those things. And all of that translates into better ridership,” he tells SFR. “When you look at us, we’ve kind of been a status quo railroad for 12 years. It would be nice to make that investment and be able to do that, but I think we’re going to need to generate some dollars.” Rio Metro lobbied federal transit authorities for a funding package to pay for the train control system. Plus, it borrowed $11 million from the state against future tax revenue to come up with the local match. While all the counties it serves have more taxing authority, Doyle says, train service expansion is not likely in the cards until after the positive train control project is complete. Construction includes a network of communications towers and equipment on the train engines themselves. The state expects to be repaying debt service on its original purchase CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Static Transit of the tracks, cars and engines through 2030 at a total cost of $723 million. It uses money from fuel taxes to pay that down each year. New Mexico also is obligated long-term to operate dispatch radio control along the railway and other expensive duties that are covered now by Rio Metro. The newly appointed secretary of the Department of Transportation says he spoke with Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham about the train early on. “I think she very well understands what the issues are,” Secretary Michael Sandoval tells SFR. “It’s well known that we have purchased the train tracks, and whether or not the Rail Runner rides on the tracks, it’s our responsibility to maintain and own them. The philosophy now is we want to support that operation as much as possible. It still keeps a lot of folks off I-25. ” Department officials spoke in favor this year of a $2 million appropriation approved to support the train. It was the first time in Doyle’s time as a train manager, which started in 2010, that he hasn’t felt under attack at the Roundhouse. He emphasizes that train operations have been consistently in the black, with fare box revenue and gross receipts taxes from the counties served covering the annual cost of fuel and staff. But in each of the last eight years, at least one measure has sought to either study the Rail Runner’s efficacy or kill it outright. Santa Fe County shoppers have been paying a ⅛-cent gross-receipts tax to the North Central Regional Transit District for 11 years, half of which goes straight to Rio Metro to support the train. In addition to that service, taxpayers in Bernalillo, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Taos, Rio Arriba, Los Alamos and Valencia counties get buses from the districts, too. Both the North Central and Rio Metro districts were set up under state laws approved at the same time as thenGov. Bill Richardson planned the train using a bond program. While the state

put up the capital, the districts allow local taxpayers to support the train’s ongoing operation. And under that law, both districts have another ¼-cent in taxing authority that voters could approve. In the future, Doyle says that’s the cash that can pay for more frequent train service. Public support for the rail is strong. In an opinion survey conducted by Research and Polling, Inc., on behalf of the North Central district last year, 61% of regional voters have a positive opinion of the Rail Runner. Train rider Roberto Sisneros says he’s making the current schedule work. The postal carrier has worked at the Santa Fe branch for five years; however, it’s only in the last year that he tried making the commute from Rio Rancho via rail instead. “My wife was always telling me, ‘You need to ride the train.’ I finally decided to give it a shot, and January made it a year that I have been riding,” he tells SFR. While Sisneros used to fill his gas
tank three times a week or more, now he only does it on Saturdays, when the train schedule doesn’t match his shift. Some days when he gets off early, he wishes there were mid-afternoon southbound trains. “It would be nice if they were just able to run the whole day, but I understand if no one is there, it’s a waste,” he says. “They run at busy times and so that is what we have.” Sisneros is usually moving at the times and in the direction the train was geared toward. Santa Fe’s never been the favorite child of the Rail Runner. From the very beginning, when service only shuttled between Belen and Bernalillo for its first two years, its bread and butter is the commuter flood of daytime workers. Ridership data shows most passengers are moving north each day from Albuquerque into the capital city, and south back out. People who live in the City Different and want to move within it or want to
head south are at the mercy of the other direction’s schedule. Yet, Santafesinos are still surprising some people. The Zia Station became Santa Fe’s fourth and most recent to get service. It sat unused between the start of the service to the city in 2008 and the spring of 2017. Passengers who walk, ride bikes or get dropped off at the stop are proving its relevance. The station is unique among Rail Runner stops in that it was constructed on private land using state money. Builders who own the property eyed a big transit-oriented development that got squashed by the economic downturn of 2008 and some neighborhood resistance, among other factors. “Everybody was always questioning what the ridership was going to be like, and nobody really knew,” says Merritt Brown, a partner in SF Brown, the company that owns the land. “We thought we would maybe get 20 to 25 riders a day there. It opened with about 50 riders a day and it has just been steadily inKandis Merrill is a student at Santa Fe Community College who advocated for better bus/train connections for students.

creasing every month. We get data from the Rio Metro, and we are up to, during the week, pushing it to 110 riders a day. From that perspective we are good, and that is with no parking at the site.” The firm is ready to reconsider the development, Brown tells SFR in an interview with partner Marc Bertram, who adds, “We feel that if we were allowed to have parking there that ridership would jump even more.” While they’re just getting started with a timeline on new submittals to the city, the pair is already certain they will propose a mix heavy on housing, with some retail and other commercial space. They say waiting another two years or more for Rio Metro to plan expansion might not be necessary if a local effort could happen faster. “There’s been lots of discussion about increasing local use of the train from 599 to the Railyard in any fashion
possible,” says Brown. “It’s definitely worth getting into the nuts and bolts of that and saying, ‘What does it mean? Is that something the city could press for?’” City Councilor Carol Romero-Wirth is the city’s member on the North Central district. She notes the board’s strategic plan adopted in 2016 called for the district to first stabilize its revenue by asking voters to renew the ⅛-cent tax permanently—a measure that sailed through last November. But raising the tax in the hopes of more Santa Fe-centric trains hasn’t been at the forefront. The district next month expects to hire a consultant for its service plan update. That process will include a nine-month study with about 16 public meetings. On the other side of that, Romero-Wirth expects to know more. “There is no question that down the line, and as we look at climate change,
we may need to look at how we improve our regional transportation options, and the Rail Runner may play a role in that,” she tells SFR. Doyle throws out a $2 million annual ballpark for building Santa Fe service expansion, and the scale of that number seems out of proportion to the benefit, says Santa Fe Trails Division Director Keith Wilson. “I’m not sure the demand is there to justify” the cost, Wilson tells SFR. “If I was to lead something like that, I could not really stand up to Council and say, ‘Hey, if you put up $2 million to run the train, you are going to have tons of people to ride it.’” The city is also about to embark on an update to its service plan that kicks off in a few months. “Connections to the Rail Runner are a critical component of our transit system. So when we move into the service

planning exercise, we will definitely be looking at the train times and how we can better coordinate our transit service to meet that,” Wilson says. “It’s not tootoo bad right now, but it could be better.” Greater speed is another trait that could earn new riders, and that’s mainly tied to track conditions. While the positive train control project is going to eat up the next couple years, smaller track improvements are on the way, too. Doyle says a new siding near Alameda will help with congestion in a section of track through downtown Albuquerque that does not have modern signals, and the transit district should learn soon if it qualified for a grant to improve a longer section of track there. The train wi-fi, which has been broken more than it’s worked in recent years due to an outdated system, will also also get a boost from the positive train control project. Doyle, the train manager, and Merrill, the college student, both take the long view. “Part of me thinks it might have been before its time,” Doyle says of the train system at large. “I don’t think it was an imperative at that time that we had this thing, but I think it was very visionary to go forward with it and I think it’s going to be something we are really happy that we have when the economy here starts picking up again and when gas prices go back up.” Merrill’s banking on at least one more semester of good train and bus connections. She hopes to see more people from her school, the nearby Institute of American Indian Arts, and others choose the option. “If we could get more people to try transit,” she says, “I just think a lot of people have a preconceived notion of public transportation.”

SLACKTIVISM AT ITS BEST Making money for a local nonprofit has never been easier than when, each April, Kitchen Angels celebrates Angels Dine Out (renamed this year from Angels Night Out, since it goes on all day, after all). At any one of 40 local restaurants, bring your friends to eat and drink your fill, and the restaurant donates 25% of your bill to the local nonprofit. Kitchen Angels provides hot, home-cooked meals to homebound Santa Feans who are ineligible or unable to use Meals on Wheels, and has been since 1992. You don’t have to say anything special, do anything in particular or spend anything extra—literally, just\ go out to eat. From low-key Ranch House or Café Fina to upscale La Casa Sena or Paloma, take your pick of locales and help provide the Angels with more than $80,000 in one night. But maybe make reservations—this is a big deal. (CJ) Angels Dine Out: Thursday April 25. Various locations. See kitchenangels.org for restaurants.

COURTESY ROZU
MUSIC SAT/27 YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH! No spoilers, but we’re a little extra into metal music right now. Perhaps it’s the crushing riffs and brutal imagery, which ultimately leads to both rocking and catharsis, or perhaps it’s just because it’s a wide open world of genres and sub-genres from passionate folk who simply want to slay. Whatever it is, Denver’s Rozu (which we hear is Japanese for “rose”) brings its post-hardcore metal-ness to town alongside locals like Blood Wolf, Snot Goblin and Nadu. Zephyr Community Arts Studio has been doing a bang-up job supporting the metal world of late, and we notice. Oh, we notice. Anyway, go for the “jud-jud,” stay for the riffage. (ADV) Rozu with Blood Wolf, Snot Goblin and Nadu: 7:30 pm Saturday April 27. $5-$10. Zephyr Community Arts Studio, 1520 Center Drive, Ste. 2.
BOOKS/LECTURE SUN/28
Both Sides Now Poet Dana Levin welcomes contradiction “Figuring out how to write about living in the age of Trump without giving the poems over to Trump and Trump rage has been very interesting and challenging,” renowned poet and former Santa Fean Dana Levin says of her new poems. “I’ve always had a little political bent in my work, but this is the first time I’ve been bringing that interrogation inside.” Levin lived in Santa Fe for 19 years, helming the writing department at the College of Santa Fe and Santa Fe University of Art and Design, working her way into the fabric of our city through poignant lyricism and warm laughs—often in the same breath. She moved to St. Louis, Missouri, in 2017 to teach at Maryville University, and this week marks her first visit back to Santa Fe since. She reads on Sunday with friend and fellow luminary Carol Moldaw. (Disclosure: Levin was this writer’s professor at CSF in the aughts.) Levin finds that her new work is both a series of small, chopped-up, traditional-looking poems, as well as a grouping of “really long lines, almost edging on essay poems,” she says. In addition to the contradiction
inherent in her current work, Levin muses on the more intangible contradictions in her new home; she grew up in California and spent nearly two decades in New Mexico—but her parents are both from Chicago, so her move to the Midwest was a sort of moving home, she says. She finds many divides in St. Louis, a city caught between North and South, and its distillation of “all of the longstanding problems with the American character and the American experiment.” But additionally, she says, STL hosts a vibrant poetry community and a formidable arts scene. She speaks of her new city with great reverence. There is room for both love and questioning. After discussing her work with such cerebral intellectualism, when asked about what she thinks coming back to Santa Fe will feel like, she immediately says: “What I’m really looking forward to is some fucking green chile, OK?” (Charlotte Jusinski) DANA LEVIN AND CAROL MOLDAW 6 pm Sunday April 28.

COURTESY THE ARTIST
Santa Fe’s Aron Kalaii does things his own way with Vicious Kitties
That’s Aaron Kalaii for you—always leaping and shredding.
BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
F
or musicians, there’s no sense in trying to please everyone. But if you do something that pleases you, the audience will usually fill itself out. That seems to be especially true of any type of outsider art, which can often reside far from listeners’ median tastes, but which can be offset by fierce originality and individualism. It’s magnetic to see someone who knows exactly what they want, and while it’s hard to fit
10th
Aron Kalaii and his band Vicious Kitties into any easy category, it’s clear that he and his bandmates are forging their own path. Originally formed in 2009 with Christopher Riggs, Vicious Kitties began as an instrumental group. Kalaii has since become more interested in performing as a guitarist and vocalist, and the band’s style has shifted into a stripped-down presentation of fairly straightforward rock with frenetic hand percussion backing Kalaii’s riffs with an Afrobeat flair. Kalaii’s confident baritone vocals take

charge somewhere between spoken word and more traditionally sung vocals. “I grew up in the era where hip-hop and rock was coming out at the same time,” Kalaii explains. “Aerosmith and Run-DMC’s [collaboration of ‘Walk This Way’]; I must have watched that, like, a thousand times growing up when MTV was still playing music.” Kalaii further cites Carlos Santana and jazz guitar virtuoso Django Reinhardt as influences, and while his own music strikes the ear as a bit odd at first, these disparate influences can all be picked out from the sound as it begins to make its own kind of sense. The initial strangeness of the music is what placed Vicious Kitties into an “outsider artist” mold for me; through that lens, a more cohesive picture takes shape. Like the mysterious Houston-based Jandek or the late Wesley Willis, Kalaii’s music strictly adheres to his particular vision, making the band’s various sounds coalesce into something unlike any one other thing. This seems to have led to some difficulty in finding venues locally.
If [bookers] have a punk night, they won’t book my band because they think I’m being socially strange. -Aron Kalaii
“If [bookers] have a punk night, they won’t book my band because they think I’m being socially strange, or because they think people won’t want to see this kind of punk,” Kalaii says. Still, there’s something to be said for sticking to the concept and for simply hitting the stage unafraid. This feels like a more over-arching guiding philosophy for Kalaii, who is also a painter and filmmaker; his visual art can be seen adorning the walls and ceiling at downtown dive bar The Matador and, thus far, he has one feature film under his belt, the guerrilla-style ultra-indie The Samurai, The Muslim, and the Thug. “They resonate from the same source,” he says about how his differing projects interface. “When I’m doing one, I’m thinking of the other.” Such volume is impressive, but even so, Kalaii doesn’t have plans to record new Vicious Kitties material at the moment. 2017’s Mr.Kat KingGypsy is still available on Bandcamp. He prefers to perform live as often as possible along with current drummer Kenneth Brito and bassist Finchi McQueen (substitute bassist Shontez “Taz” Morris occasionally joins the band onstage as well). The love of performing comes naturally for Kalaii, who claims it began when his mother made him read Bible verses aloud in front of their church congregation every week. And though Kalaii says he may not feel particularly accepted by the local music scene, it’s clear his output has intention, and that’s something that people respond to. Besides, Kalaii’s sense of humor and the upbeat nature of Vicious Kitties create a live vibe that outshines his recordings. “People bring us out to open the party,” Kalaii says. “Everybody’s got their own flock, and I’m just sharing the sound of my flock.” VICIOUS KITTIES WITH TRASH RITUAL, BILLIAM AND HYPNAGOGIA 7:30 pm Friday April 26. $5-$10.

Designer and weaver Natasha Nargis moved to Santa Fe in 1974 following a period spent in deep study of weaving and loom work in San Francisco. Now, on the evening of Friday April 26, Nargis opens her shop/gallery/studio, natasha Santa Fe (5 pm, 403 S Guadalupe St., 913-9236), for a special reception featuring a smattering of local fashion creators such as Cissie Ludlow, Cinny Mills, Orlando Dugi and others. There, the designers showcase their new and existing works in a sort of art-meetsfashion hang-down that we’re told will be very low-key and quite fun. Find models, snacks and, if we’re lucky and the weather holds, a nice bit of outdoor fashion action. (Alex De Vore)
2018 SANTA FE REPORTER PHOTO CONTEST
1ST PLACE “EAGLE DANCER” Indian Market, Santa Fe by EUGENIE JOHNSON
What can you tell us about the event? It’s an opening, but I would call it a fashion walkabout. There will be probably five or six models, and they’ll be changing clothes a little bit. But it won’t be like a catwalk—it’ll be the models meandering through the crowd. It’s extremely accessible, and I feel my gallery is extremely accessible—I have things that are affordable, some things that people would say are not affordable. What do your contributions to the show look like? I’ve got a cocoon that will be in the show, I work with silk and linen a lot. I’ll have a tunic, a batwing top. Some of it’s new, some of it’s not new, it’s a combination. A few [pieces] nobody has seen. Do you think there will come a time—or has it already come—where people in Santa Fe are willing to accept fashion design on the same level as visual arts? I believe that they are. I believe it’s been happening for a while, and it’s been growing. I don’t know, for me, ... part of it is how it’s done, the spirit in which it’s done, perfecting what you’re doing; the dedication to what you’re doing and making something beautiful. Or making something that isn’t beautiful, but that makes a statement. Everybody who walks in just loves it and loves the shop. It’s also my studio, and they really like to see the process. They love the clothing, and I’m starting to have repeat customers. My best buyers are from Santa Fe. Word of mouth is pretty strong here.

Paseo Pottery throws parties and clay, gives to Santa Fe nonprofits BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
P
aseo Pottery’s Angela Smith Kirkman cooked up the idea while at Standing Rock, donating a Thanksgiving meal to Water Protectors during the protests in 2017. She wanted to create a pottery business staffed completely by volunteers that donates 100% of its net profits to a local nonprofit organization each year. Cut to today—roughly a year since Kirkman took over Paseo Pottery from its original founders Mike Walsh, Ginny Zipperer and Janet Williams—and Kirkman is preparing to make donations to the Sky Center, a suicide prevention organization, and the Santa Fe Watershed Association. Kirkman estimates she’ll be handing over at least $1,000 to each organization, but the final number will be revealed this Friday during a party at Paseo Pottery. That evening, Kirkman will officially announce the next nonprofits to benefit. Did we mention Kirkman’s husband is Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery owner Jason Kirkman, and that he’ll be at the event with a special beer and cocktail to help celebrate? We caught up with Kirkman to find out how it all works and how it feels to run such a project. SFR: Tell us a little bit about the Paseo Pottery mission. It’s been here for 28 years, and I only just turned it into a charity a year ago. It was established as an artists co-op and was run by these incredible artists, and when one of them retired last year, I took it over. At first I thought I was going to do what the previous owners had and rent out studio
space, but I didn’t find a lot of artists who wanted studio space, and that’s why the class model evolved. We do bachelorette parties, T-Mobile brought in their corporate team; $75 covers a two-hour class, all the materials and glazes and firing. And our mission is to donate 100% of our net profits to local charities. Our customers get to vote for the nonprofits, and at the end of the year we tally up the votes. They can choose any nonprofit in Santa Fe and there are, I think, like, 800 nonprofits; the votes come in a wide range. Last year, two tied—this year, three tied. At the party, we’ll reveal how much they’ll each [receive]. … I don’t know the number yet, but my accountant says it’s going to be at least $1,000 to each.
As we come up on one year, are you still feeling like it’s been a good plan? I was worried we’d get to the end of the year and have nothing to donate, because pottery is honestly not that lucrative. But once we started offering classes, we started making more money, and it’s thanks to our amazing volunteers. We have a group of about 10 volunteers. Nobody is getting paid; they’re doing it for the passion for clay, and everything here will get donated back to the community. And our cus-
Can you at least give us a hint about who’ll get the donations this year? I can actually tell you: Tewa Women United, New Energy Economy and CASA First. I’m pretty excited that one is working for children, one for social justice and one for environmental causes. Angela Kirkman inside Paseo Pottery’s beautiful showroom.
tomers, too. We’re getting a lot of 20- and 30-somethings who are coming to Santa Fe from elsewhere and don’t want to go home with knick-knacks. They want an experience. How do nonprofits get more involved? Can they? Absolutely. Different nonprofits come in and introduce us to what they’re doing, and I have their brochures available to customers. They can leave material about what they’re doing. This is going to sound dickish, and I don’t mean it that way—but, why do this? I already have a job that pays for all my expenses, a translation company that I can do from [Paseo Pottery] called Atalaya

Global. Say you buy a bottle of ibuprofen and there’s an insert that’s in 12 different languages. That’s what my company does—but at the end of the day, it’s not really fulfilling. What is your pottery or ceramics background? I started studying in 1991 in college, and it wasn’t my major—my major was romance languages—but it was something I always studied. Pottery is what I’ve always done as an artistic outlet, and when [my husband and I] were traveling around the world, I studied pottery in every country we visited.
How does the donation cycle work? Last year we had our grand opening party on April 1, so it’s been one year. And at that party, we chose the nonprofits that would get the profits from the first year. At the party this Friday, we’ll give the two nonprofits from last year a check, and we’ll also announce our nonprofits for this coming year, and they’ll get our profits for the next year.

What’s your long game, if there is one? I would love to continue doing this. Right now we have a three-year lease, and one year is up. But y’know, I work for big pharmacy companies; I work for bad guys, that’s how I make my money, so I feel like I have to do something to offset that. Maybe I could [do pottery] more often as soon as I don’t need to make any more money. I’m there at least 40 hours a week, Monday through Friday, and if I could just play in the mud all day, I would. But I don’t want my pottery to ever be how I make a living. If it became my way of making a living, it would become a job, right? PASEO POTTERY CHARITY PARTY 5 pm Friday April 26. Free.

New York Deli We’ve all been in that situation where no one can agree on where to eat. New York Deli to the rescue. With a varied menu that hits the sweet spot between breakfast all day, well-made sandwiches, grilled items, catering, salads and more, it’s the something-for-everyone spot both downtown and on the Southside. Omelets ($7.95-$11.95) are a no-brainer, and the deli has ‘em in spades, from the simple three-egg plain to the more complicated concoctions like California with spicy sausage and the asparagus with hollandaise. Try also an enticing array of sandwiches with options for the meat-free such as the grilled cheese with green chile ($8.95, though one with bacon is available at $9.95) or the meat-obsessed like the Monterey chicken sandwich with melted Swiss, avocado and onion ($11.95). The bagels aren’t half bad, either, and run the gamut from the usual seedy suspects to the justspicy-enough green chile. New York Deli caters as well, and serves up a damn fine cup of coffee from smiling, friendly waitstaff who always remember their regulars. (Alex De Vore)
Opuntia Café Situated in a glass and timber warehouse hidden away in the Baca Railyard area, Opuntia is the brainchild of Santa Fe’s resident coffeeshop godfather Todd Spitzer (Iconik, Sky) and landscape designer Jeanna Gienke. It’s an airy, relaxing space full of cacti and succulents that reads as part greenhouse, part teahouse. The green and growing interior design matches the intentions behind the menu, which serves up healthy, light and plant-based meals, all of which come on plates piled high with colorful vegetables. For breakfast, try the ubiquitous avocado toast ($10.75), which pops against a bed of bitter arugula topped with creamy lemon aioli. It makes a solid companion for one of the many artisan teas, provided by San Francisco-based tea company Samovar. For lunch, find a plethora of sandwiches, salads and bowls. Opuntia also offers a globally minded dinner menu that includes quintessentially New Mexican stuffed poblano ($8) served with black beans, avocado, cheddar cheese and chipotle aioli, and the salmon poke ($10.75), a heaping serving of Atlantic salmon served on a bed of rice topped with scallions, sweet peas, cucumbers and ginger. Beer and wine are also available, but the real stars of the drink show are the three sakes that easily pair with the menu’s slight Asian-fusion bent. Don’t skimp on the sweet and spicy Korean popcorn topped with crimson gochujang. At $1 a bowl, it’s easy to indulge. (Mary Francis Cheeseman) JOY GODFREY

Paper Dosa Named for the elongated, paper-thin crepes that serve as the primary focus of the restaurant’s menu, Paper Dosa offers a gorgeous array of South Indian culinary mainstays. Alongside a selection of the eponymous dosas, uttapam and curries, chef Paulraj Karuppasamy has crafted a menu that features the traditional staples such as pappadum ($7) and pakora ($9). A standout menu item is the dahi vada ($9), a lentil fritter doused in yogurt with tamarind and mint chutney layered on top. The dosas are crafted from a batter of fermented rice, lentils and ghee—although the latter can be left out for vegan customers. They come with a wealth of potential fillers, such as masala served either classically or dusted with white truffle ($10 or $11). For a more filling entree, try the uttapam, made from the dosa batter but served thick like a pancake, with the ingredients cooked directly into the dough. We tried one topped with seasonal farmers market vegetables ($13) of shishito peppers, tomato, scallions and garlic, and another with green chile and cilantro ($10). A unique beer and wine list comes with options like a glass of Basque Zudugarai Txakoli ($13), a spritzy and refreshing counterpart to the hearty food, and the dry, fruity Château Belá riesling ($13), which make wonderful potential pairings..

Practice Makes Perfect Engaging in the ancient art of the patio sit BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
bout this time last year, I found myself standing huddled under an umbrella, surveying the deserted beach of Praia do Carneiro in Porto, Portugal. I had not made plans for the particular forecast I had been dealt: rain, rain and … rain. So, being a creature of superior ogling skills, I donned a sweater over my swimsuit and joined the best of the best in the great European pastime of The Patio Sit (aka drinking and people-watching.)
You and your dog are welcome at Rowley Farmhouse Ales anytime.
I like to think this is how visitors to Santa Fe feel as they fill up the patios around the Plaza, and on Canyon Road, enjoying the blue skies of spring, blithely eyeing Santa Fe’s particular brand of local color. But what about us locals? We enjoy the jump from our winter nests into the warm afternoon breezes just as much as any tourist, just not so much the crowds that bloom as fast as spring flowers. So I got to thinking about places a local might go to engage in this ancient art, without too much commotion. OK, sure, Paloma (401 S Guadalupe St., 467-8624) is pretty much always packed—but the secret is its patio! This bright space tucked behind the restaurant will have you feeling as though you stepped off the street in Santa Fe and emerged somewhere in old Mexico. New takes on traditional folk arts cover the walls, and you’ll find bright, traditional oilcloths on all the tables. The entire menu is available on the patio and Paloma’s inspired sides (all $8) could have one believing they’re in Oaxaca: roasted sweet potatoes with peanut salsa, toasted
coconut and dried lime; crispy brussels sprouts with local honey, chipotle and sesame seeds; papas fritas with cotija and chipotle mayo. A favorite cocktail for long afternoons of sipping is the negroni Oaxaca ($11), refreshing despite the daring darkness of mezcal. A plus, Paloma offers happy hour from 5-6 pm, with $5 paloma margs and half-off bar snacks. The patio outside Counter Culture Café (930 Baca St., 995-1105) borders a parking lot which, for some, may not sound like the pinnacle of patio experiences, but this is easily overlooked once a cold beer and giant plate of food find their way to you. The area is shaded and dog-friendly, making it a great place to while away a couple hours with your (leashed) furry friend. Everyone is always happy here, and why shouldn’t they be? The food is fresh, healthy and surprisingly affordable—the Asian plate, a split plate of fresh spring rolls and cold sesame noodles with salad, is just $10; an overstuffed tuna salad sandwich, with lettuce, tomato, red onion and sprouts could easily feed two or more for $8.50. Another plus for this patio is it’s open
FOOD
for breakfast, lunch and dinner, allowing you to choose your time to sit back, relax and enjoy. Cash-only. Rowley Farmhouse Ales (1405 Maclovia St., 428-0719) is constantly changing and improving its patio situation. Upon my last visit, the outdoor tenting had been replaced with a sturdy wood pergola covering a choice of fourtops and long, communal picnic tables. If you have a big crowd, this is a good spot to gather and sit together; if not, it’s a great spot to chat it up with someone new. Dogs are allowed, and they are the best of conversation starters. Rowley has 24 draft choices, including its Great American Beer Festival-winning Germophile sour (4 ounces for $2, 10 ounces for $5) and 25 bottle/can options for beerphiles — everything from local producers and Rowley’s own to exotic Europeans such as a 750 ml Fou’ Foune Belgian lambic ($120). Rowley was recently crowned New Mexico’s “Great American Beer Bar” by craftbeer.com, for the second year in a row. Props! Far from the crowds of downtown, kids and dogs are welcome on the Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery (2791 Agua Fria St., 780-5730) terraced back patio. Open at 4 pm during the week and noon on weekends, it’s a great, casual spot to grab a bite, beer or booze. The play area is usually packed with little ones, and everyone benefits from the partial shade offered by its tall trees. Tumbleroot generally has 12 of its beers, and nearly as many of its spirits, available in the taproom. The kitchen dishes out tasty appetizers and mains, from a shaved beet salad ($9) with cucumber, apple and goat cheese to an elk bratwurst ($13) with fig mustard, caramelized onion and sauerkraut on a pretzel roll. If you’ve got family in town, or just a melting pot of peeps, it’s a great place to spend an afternoon; especially if you need the kids to wear themselves out. The expansive back patio at Harry’s Roadhouse (96 Old Las Vegas Hwy., 989-4629) has a distinctly English garden feel to it, with spring flowers attracting hummingbirds, butterflies and fat, buzzing bees. This is one of those places where you don’t feel like you’re in New Mexico and can pretend you’re somewhere else—a little mini-break, let’s say. With the good weather, the patio is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week, making it an ideal place to enjoy everything from a bubbly mimosa to one of Harry’s famous margaritas. Another favorite is the breadth of food choices to pair with such libations: the menu spans worlds of cuisines, from tres leches french toast ($9.25) to fried catfish with grits ($13.75).

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
Writer and director Alex Ross Perry charts a painful but moving course through murky rockstar waters in Her Smell, a run-down monument to punk rock politics, inter-band strife and the challenging fallout found at the other side of fame and fortune. Elisabeth Moss (Mad Men, The Handmaid’s Tale) is Becky Something, the leader of the once-glorious punk rock trio Something She. Once upon a time, the self-described “girl band” went gold, sold out stadiums, graced magazine covers and made or broke the careers of the generations that followed. But when we join them at the tail end of a massive tour, burnout, misplaced pride and drug abuse have taken their toll and have driven Becky to the brink of madness. Through a series of extended vignettes and camcorder throwbacks to the better days, we watch Becky frantically abuse bandmates both physically and emotionally, ruin studio sessions for younger musicians, trash her mother, fight her ex and nearly break her infant daughter’s neck.
BRILLIANT; THE MUSIC - SOME DIALOGUE FEELS GOOFY; NAUSEATING AT TIMES
Years on the road have broken her, and no amount of understanding from her inner circle—bassist Marielle Hell (Agyness Deyn) and drummer Ali van der Wolf (Gayle Rankin)—can help fix it. Moss disappears completely into the role, channeling a mix of once-beloved punk rock icon clinging to her faded last scraps of glory and empty shell of a woman looking to heal self-inflicted wounds any place other than inward. Her Smell is ultimately quiet but jarring; one uncomfortable encounter after another that bring us to the edge of tears time and time again but, like Marielle Hell says: Becky might have been bad, yet we never stop loving her. We get it, in fact—she’s terrified and not herself: The void once filled with screaming crowds and mega-hit albums doesn’t seem to fill the same way anymore, but it’s all she knows and it’s how she’s trapped herself. Rock bottom might not even be low enough.
Later scenes shine a light on redemption and chosen family, even if a peripheral band that worships at Becky’s feet feels underused. Ditto for Eric Stoltz as the head of Becky’s label, Amber Heard as a musical frenemy and Dan Stevens as the ex trying to get on with his life. We understand why they’re there, we just don’t really get a sense of them outside of how they revolve around Becky. Deyn and Rankin are fantastic together, however, a semi-strong unit formed in a survival response to Becky’s violent actions and teetering on the brink themselves. Moss, meanwhile, is at her very best in the aftermath, when she once again tries to become a human person. HER SMELL Directed by Perry With Moss, Deyn, Rankin, Stoltz and Stevens Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 134 min.

THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA
4
+ FOLKLORE IS OBJECTIVELY COOL - WHY DO THEY KEEP LEAVING THE KIDS IN OTHER ROOMS?
For those who come from places familiar with the folklore, The Curse of La Llorona, the newest entry from the Annabelle microcosm of films—such as The Nun and The Conjuring—have probably felt irritated by the thought of a Hollywood take on the age-old tale. And these people are right, because it’s a pretty terrible movie if we’re being generous, and a lousy example of appropriation if we’re being honest. Freaks & Geeks alum Linda Cardellini is Anna, a social worker-slash-mom whose cop husband, a Hispanic man we’re told, died before the events of the film. Life is hard, raising kids alone is tough; Anna gets the briefest expositional moments before it’s off to take kids away from a poor Mexican mother because she locked them in a closet “to keep them safe.” Really, we know she’s hiding them from being Llorona’d. But when those kids wind up in the social care system and subsequently disappear, Anna’s own brood wind up stalked by the ghostly remains of a once-beautiful woman who, years ago, in a fit of jealous rage, drowned her children and now ghosts around drowning other kids so they can somehow take their place. She’s La Llorona, dammit.

PET SEMATARY
The Curse of La Llorona: We much prefer the version told by celebrated New Mexico storyteller Joe Hayes. That shit still haunts us to this day.
PENGUIN HIGHWAY
Anna sets about confronting the spirit with the help of a defrocked priest-slash-curandero (Raymond Cruz of Breaking Bad), but La Llorona is more powerful than they can imagine, so jump scares occur, close calls go down and the music swells suddenly while the ghost tries to drown everybody. It’s horror, y’know? You basically know the gist. In the beginning, glimpses of the ghost are pretty scary, but once we’ve seen her a few times and the law of diminishing returns kicks in, it really becomes a game of running down the clock. And this would all be acceptable in that horror movies are often not so great, but La Llorona centers the story on white folks (not counting the kids, because don’t forget that the dead dad was Hispanic—but even they take a backseat to the mom’s actions despite being the targets of attempted ghost murder). There are certainly other Hispanic cast members, but they’re relegated to plot devices with shitty motives and deus ex machina which, frankly, is tiresome and problematic. Cardellini does have her moments, particularly in how she might be the first actor ever to deliver a believable onscreen scream, but after she leaves the kids alone one too many times, we start to wonder if she even really wants to help them and we start to wonder if we even care. Spoiler alert: we don’t. (Alex De Vore)

+ ABSURD BUT IN THE RIGHT WAYS - WONKY NARRATIVE; BAD PERFORMANCES
Why did we need a reboot of the Mike Mignolacreated comic-turned-movie Hellboy when Guillermo del Toro’s original two were perfectly fine fantasy flicks? Well, because it’s fun and brutal, and because sometimes you just need a movie that’s stupid enough and strange enough and rated-R enough to provide raw, unadulterated escapism. Sometimes you realize the more mainstream comic book movie world has leaned a little too far into “gritty realism,” and sometimes the studios just like doing things like that. For these reasons, Hellboy is wonderful fun, but make no mistake—it’s by no means a good movie. When we meet our behorned demon pal Hellboy (retconned but only sorta-kinda by Stranger Things star David Harbour), he’s all angst and trimmed demon horns and huge guns and sick of his dad’s crap. Said dad (Ian McShane) has trained Hellboy from childhood to be an evilkilling machine, but coming to grips with his demon side and why he would fight monsters when he kind of is one himself has really called up a lot of existential dread for the lad; he drinks. But then an immortal witch (Milla Jovovich) imprisoned by King Arthur some 1,500 years back returns for … normal witch reasons, and Hellboy has to stop her, natch, but he also has to feel his feelings and learn about blah blah blah blah blah; he kills. We’ll give points to director Neil Marshall (2005’s The Descent) for his decidedly more violent and “adult” take on the franchise, ’cause when the bullets fly and the monsters come out to slay, Hellboy coalesces into a halfway decent action movie with over-the-top gore and some legitimately excellent monster design and world-building. When the quieter moments arise, however, like when McShane waxes philosophically during a father/son shaving lesson or when we suffer the little bonding moments that don’t land due to the cast’s fundamental lack of chemistry—or even when needless narrative elements fall apart under the most gentle scrutiny—skepticism kicks in. But then it’s back to the face-shooting, secret occult societies, monster transformations and absurd violence. It could be argued that this one’s for the fans, but even they won’t be able to defend barely there characters like a medium with a long-standing connection to Hellboy (Sasha Lane), a British agent with a supernatural secret of his own (Daniel Dae Kim) or the maybe-dead, maybe-not, but probably-dead Nazi hunter Lobster Johnson (Thomas Haden Church). Then again, do they need to be defended? Because it’s Hellboy’s show, and he’s bringing all the stone-handed face

the oil. Bless these hands for they must toil,” in a prayer offered before a cooking session; smudge sticks liberally burned at every turn; and music/ production montages that seem better placed on weeknight TV. Kate appears undeterred by a county sheriff named Vern Warnke who’s the picture of a Western hard-ass with soundbites such as, “Don’t think for a minute that habit is going to slow me down in prosecution.” Ryan’s crews follow deputies who hack away at the county’s grow sites and carry as much as 2 tons a week to the landfill—plus filmmakers show the love and care, and risk and consequence of Kate’s crops and production of oils and other products she sends in the mail or hand-delivers to locals. All the while, she’s fighting to get sanctioned for the business. Spoiler alert: Business is booming. (Julie Ann Grimm)

- SOMEWHAT CLICHE AND COO-COO
What kind of nun is she? Sister Kate explains it with a punchy motto: “I’m a self-declared, self-empowered, anarchistactivist nun.” While antagonists call her name, invented religious order and clothing of choice “a costume,” the woman at the heart of Breaking Habits doesn’t care. The documentary follows the scrappy cannabis entrepreneur and her small band of cohorts who formed Sisters of the Valley in Merced County, California, in the state’s impoverished Central Valley, just before no-holds-barred legalization became the law there. Wearing the habit was a joke at first, then an outward symbol of what she says has become her sacred mission. In a fitting release in Santa Fe the week of the 4/20 cannabis holiday, filmmaker Robert Ryan focuses on the trajectory that took Kate from CEO to homeless to CBD star. It’s no Sister Act for weed, however. The rough edges are open for inspection—including shootouts, suicide discussions, familial treachery and more. We’re not gonna lie, some of what happens here is cheesy: “Bless these hands that touch

+ LAURENCE IS PRETTY GREAT; A FEW WORTHWHILE SCARES
- NOT A LOT HAPPENS; MOM SUCKS
It’s been 30 years since Stephen King’s Pet Sematary originally came to the big screen, and the time in-between doesn’t seem to have helped today’s modern filmmakers improve upon it in any way—the new remake is really just OK, and we can’t give it much more credit than that. If you haven’t seen the original, Pet Sematary follows a super-bummed father who finds out that the woods behind his family’s new home in wherever-the-heck, Maine, can raise the dead. Good news for him, we guess, because his cat just died. Whatever it is he brings back, though, it’s certainly not the feline he knew and loved, and that goes double when he tries the same thing with his dead kid (sorry for the spoilers, but seriously, it’s been 30 years, so if you didn’t already know, it’s kind of on you). Dead cat or dead daughter, this dude just can’t win. Cue creepy kid’s drawings, “She’s not the same, dammit!” lines and brief glimpses into grief-propelled insanity. Jason Clarke as Louis, the aforementioned grieving dad, brings a serviceable performance to life, so to speak, phasing between over-the-top sadness and somewhat capable emotion. He just never quite gets to a place where we aren’t aware we’re watching a movie. John Lithgow is somewhere in there, too, but it’s hard to tell if his role as zombie catalyst is done poorly or he’s simply not given enough screen time to reel us in. Amy Seimetz feels pointless as the mother with a dark secret from the past, though the reveal of her secret is so unceremonious and

Yes, Penguin Highway is super cute, but it’s also super sci-fi and super gorgeous. facile that, at best, it’s hard to care and, at worst, it sort of feels like she deserves to be a bundle of nerves and bad acting. Young Jeté Laurence (The Snowman) surprises as the daughter, however, with a charming performance as the living version of her character and a downright chilling turn as the recently deceased. She’s easily the best part of the movie, and it’s got to feel horrible for seasoned (or at least longtime) actors to struggle to keep up with a 10-year-old. Maybe she just had the better dialogue? It doesn’t really matter, though, because Pet Sematary will make its money off a combination of nostalgia, the success of the other recent King remake, It, and the societal agreement we’ve all made that horror movies don’t really have to be well-made—we’ll probably go see them anyway.

+ GORGEOUS AND FUN; ENDEARING - THE THING ABOUT BREASTS FEELS WRONG
Japanese novelist Tomihiko Morimi’s 2010 work Penguin Highway gets the anime treatment in director Hiroyasu Ishida’s 2018 bigscreen adaptation of the same name, and its mishmash of sci-fi weirdness and grounded young-adult tale is adorable, well-crafted and moving all at once. Ishida founded the film’s animation company Colorido alongside former Studio Ghibli animator Yojiro Arai, and though shades of Hayao Miyazaki’s legendary style do peek out from time to time, Penguin Highway is about as strong and original a debut as we could hope for. Precocious and conceited 9-year-old Aoyama spends his days concocting experiments and filling notebooks with hypotheses. But when he applies his scientific and experimental mind to the case of the mysteriously appearing penguins in his small suburban Japanese town—far from their natural habitat— the answers he seeks become more baffling and terrifying than he or his cadre of pals is prepared for. Can an oddball dental hygienist known as The Lady be at the center of the rapidly escalating penguin conundrum, and is the universe as they know it collapsing on itself? Penguin Highway is a triumph, not just in the telling of a complex story aimed at kids in an understandable fashion, but in its razor-sharp wit and endearing cast of characters. Aoyama (voiced by Japanese TV star Kana Kita) strikes a believable balance between insufferable know-it-all and insecure child on the cusp of big things, both personally and scientifically. We might want to hate him had he been written even slightly differently, but we grow to love and believe in him despite a subtle mean streak
that appears when the chips are down. The Lady (Yû Aoi), meanwhile, becomes a sublime counterbalance to his actions and desperation to grow up, reeling him in and keeping him young, as he should be. Elsewhere, the film shifts effortlessly between Aoyama’s thirst for knowledge and everyday fourth-grader drama, and though his fascination with women’s breasts is downright uncomfortable, we otherwise land firmly in his corner. The animation, from the gorgeous handdrawn backgrounds and cinematic angles to the jaw-dropping action scenes and seamlessly included CGI, is absolutely stunning. Colorido knocks it out of the park from a technical standpoint, recalling the quiet majesty of a forest at one moment and quickly transitioning to something akin to the mad dash toward the end of Ghibli’s Ponyo the next. Charm and substance to the front, it seems, particularly when it comes to the message: Namely, it’s wonderful to aspire to great things, but we must never forget who we actually are. Take your kids, take yourself, just see Penguin Highway immediately. (ADV)
