NEWS, JULY 5: “ENTRADA TROUBLE”
GLORIFIED MYTHS The annual celebration of the De Vargas Entrada to the Santa Fe Plaza celebrates a lie, a glorified myth. The Entrada was far from bloodless. According to Spanish documents, the reconquest claimed the lives of 81 “rebels” and in the aftermath another 70 were publicly executed. Two committed suicide rather than submit to Spanish oppression. The reenactment yearly as De Vargas enters the Plaza accompanied by Our Lady of the Conquest, and as Native people submit on their knees, is pure fantasy. The Pueblo people revolted in 1680 because the Catholic church imposed its doctrines backed by sword and cannon. Early Spanish chronicles describe the Native religions as blasphemous devil worship, when in fact the Natives simple celebrated nature where mankind was equal to plant and animal. Dance and ritual reenacted the forces of nature petitioning rain in a desert environment. Religious leaders were tortured and executed by the conquerors while Natives were enslaved to build massive churches and serve a corrupt clergy. The reconquest of 1692 was followed by the abandonment of many villages, the refugees migrating westward to flee oppression. The Tewas launched an unsuccessful revolt in 1696, their leader beheaded by the De Vargas army in Santa Clara Canyon. Such brutality should never be celebrated. Let the truth be known.
DOUGLAS JOHNSON SANTA FE
conquests, thus, let us now put this in proper historical perspective: In Europe, Spain itself was coming out of an brutal 800-year conquest period by Arabic Moors—other Europeans were engaged in … wars against each other, as were the Natives in the Americas. … The only Europeans in those early times to bring Christianization of Natives along with colonization were the Spanish who came to New Mexico. No other Europeans brought so many priests and official laws established to protect Natives as did the Spanish; however, in this dangerous, remote frontier, these laws were sometimes disregarded. Yet, in more modern times, it was the votes of NM Hispanic legislators, along with the tie-breaking vote by an Hispana legislator, that gave New Mexico’s Native Indians their greatest economic opportunities to date—”casino gaming,” and many related businesses—so the majority of their customers are local Hispanics. Thus we move on to today’s Veiled Lightning situation and its possible implications that could lead to dangerous encounters, distrust and rancor among centuries-long friendly neighbors. … Another factor to consider, the proper avenue for Pueblo Natives to complain is through their elected governors, and not through the whims driven by outsider Kiva Club and Red Nation activist protesters. … New Mexico Hispanos have not been known to rudely interrupt Po’Pay Native American ceremonies, or others such. So let’s allow our leaders to work together in peace and harmony, without these distractions, to bring honest, thoughtful solutions.

SARDINE MARKET I think [the International Folk Art Market] has outgrown the current venue. After two visits in separate years with visitors from out of town, I doubt I will return. We experienced long waits in the hot sun for the shuttle going, long waits in people-crowded stalls to even get close to the art, waits to have our purchase written up, long lines to pay, long waits to pick up our purchase after paying and long waits for the return shuttle. The quality of the folk art and artists is undeniable; viewing the art and actually making a purchase is an uncomfortable and unnecessary marathon. Then again, maybe they’re trying to get everyone to buy the $75 early bird tickets?

COVER, JUNE 28: “PAPER GENOCIDE”
NOT GOOD FOR NM Your story about urban Native American health funding problems was timely; yet another episode of history of mistreatment of our Native citizens, though in this case due to mismanagement and inattention, rather than mean intent. Sadly, it also demonstrates the devastating impact the Republican UN-health care proposal (Trumpcare) will have on New Mexicans. The 135,000 Native Americans who depend on expanded Medicaid funding to make up for inadequate IHS funding are part of the 785,000 New Mexicans who are enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP (a 71 percent increase in the last few years as a result of Obamacare). Most of those New Mexicans will be squeezed out of Medicaid if Trumpcare is passed, because it includes
cuts of $800 billion nationwide to the Medicaid expansion that is critical part of Obamacare. We are lucky that in Senators Udall and Heinrich and Congressman Lujan, we have three of the most knowledgeable members of Congress about health care. It is time for all of us to urge them to continue their fight to stop Trumpcare that will do so much harm to New Mexicans.

Wet Noodles
Adult-themed company now owns old Mu Du Noodles restaurant
BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m @aaron_con_leche
A
company that operates adultthemed stores in New Mexico and Texas is trying to open up shop at 1494 Cerrillos Road, formerly the location of Mu Du Noodles. But no one with the business would agree to tell SFR exactly what kind of shop. Harris News Inc., whose address is in Dallas, owns three adult-themed businesses in Albuquerque—Adult Video, Viewpoint Adult Video and Big Eye—and at least one in Dallas. It obtained a deed to the former restaurant property near the intersection of Cerrillos and Second Street on April 18. The company is affiliated with Arcade News, an adult store located further south at 2821 Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe. Customers at Arcade News can purchase women’s lingerie, a wide assort of lubricants and sex toys, adult-themed media and tickets to private viewing booths. On our recent visit, a woman who identified herself as the store manager told SFR she was in contact with workers at the 1494 Cerrillos location, where we stopped first, but said any questions about its operations would have to be directed to the workers there. “I have two words for you: Free advertising,” the woman cryptically tells SFR.
“I’ve heard a lot of funny rumors about what’s opening up there. I’m not involved with it.” Mu Du shut its doors after 23 years last August, but neighbors say the kitchen equipment didn’t leave the building until this summer. In recent weeks, the building appeared to be under renovation, and packages of women’s sexy-time clothes could be seen sitting on racks inside. A man wearing a sleeveless shirt inside the shop shook his head and laughed when asked about the possibility of an adult bookstore opening at the location, and declined to take more questions. SFR couldn’t reach Abram Deleon, whom state records identify as Harris News’ registered agent, or John A Coil, its director. City officials don’t have much information about the shop either. “We’re hearing a lot of rumors about that property, and I need some confirmation because I’m getting calls from city councilors asking what’s going on,” Land Use Department Director Lisa Martinez tells SFR. Mike Purdy, the director of the city’s inspections and enforcement division, writes in an email that an employee of Harris News named Joe Canales told him the business would be be a women’s clothing store. Some neighbors say that men at the location described it an adult bookstore. City records show no one has sought a certificate of occupancy or a business license, both of which would be required for a new business. Since last Friday, after visits from reporters, city officials and neighbors, somebody hung a T-shirt on the front door of the building that can be seen through a plate of glass. “BAH FUCKING HUMBUG,” the shirt reads.
That kind of attitude worries Peter Olson, who lives about a block away from the business. He says workers have removed a railing and chipped away one of the concrete steps in front of the business so that a ramp could be connected between the back of a moving truck and the front door, where he observed workers hauling kitchen equipment out of the building. Olson believes the apparent plan to open an adult-themed store within 1,000 feet of a district zoned for residential use— as well as near to two youth-centered entities (the Santa Fe Indian School and ¡Youthworks!) and a city park—violates city rules for sexually oriented businesses. “To me [it] sends a message these people either don’t care about that or are trying to do something sneaky,” Olson tells SFR. “It causes me to wonder how far will they go pushing the limits on this.” In the past, Harris News has pushed limits in similar ways.
In 1998, the company filed a federal lawsuit against the New Mexico city Sunland Park to prevent the town from shutting down its business there. Officials said that Adult Video, which straddled the Texas-New Mexico border, sat too close to a residential area. The parties settled and the store agreed to limit its advertising. But the town later took renewed legal action, this time in a state court, after Adult Video provided nude dancing on its premises and displayed a truck with the words “Adult Video” in its parking lot, which was located in El Paso. A district court agreed that Harris News had broken its obligations and granted the town’s injunction ordering the closure of Adult News, but a decision by the Court of Appeals in 2005 reversed that order. The New Mexico Supreme Court upheld that ruling. Across the country, similar businesses have launched aggressive legal fights in federal court to undermine local ordinances. “Cities often don’t want adult bookstores in their neighborhoods or even their cities, but unfortunately for them, they can’t just ban them because of the First Amendment,” says Stephen G Peters, an attorney in El Paso who repre represented Harris News against Sunland Park in state court. “The city council members, they’re not usually First Amendment specialists, and the rules are pretty complex—and so often the ordinances that are seeking to restrict sexually oriented businesess of often overreach. And the remedy for that is usually a lawsuit under the federal civil rights act.” Adult Video remains at the same loca location in Sunland Park today.

Grayed Anatomy New Mexico’s health care community looks to infuse youth into an aging population of doctors
B Y M AT T G R U B S @mattgrubs
T
here’s a trope about old, small-town doctors who answer the phone at two in the morning and work well into their 70s tending to pregnant mothers, croupy babies and workplace mishaps. In New Mexico, it rings true. For the past two years, the state has led the nation in the percentage of doctors age 60 or older. It’s not even close. The American Association of Medical Colleges says almost 36 percent of the state’s doctors are in that category. New Mexico beats the national average by more than 20 percent. When the AAMC’s next glimpse at the physician workforce is released this fall, the state will find out if it’s found a cure for a systemic problem in the medical community. From health care systems to medical schools to small towns, New Mexico has been trying to retain older doctors long enough to recruit younger ones. An aging population of doctors has to treat an aging general population that needs more medical providers, and states are competing against one another for a limited pool of docs. That’s a particularly acute challenge in rural states. “It certainly seems that physicians in rural communities don’t wish to retire, in many cases, until they can find their replacement,” says Dr. Richard Larson, the executive vice chancellor at New Mexico’s only public medical school. “For most doctors, medicine is a calling. And they really don’t want to let their community down.” The University of New Mexico’s Health Sciences Center, where Larson works, has a nationally recognized family and community medicine program. But the school enrolled 102 students in its latest class and graduated just 88.
Many of those graduates will leave the state. Larson and his colleagues work hard to come up with innovative solutions to attract and keep younger doctors in New Mexico. That starts with residencies. New doctors are much more open to moving to a small town if they’ve already worked in one. In Hobbs, the university worked with the JF Maddox Foundation to build simple homes for medical residents. Within a year, Larson tells SFR, three new primary care providers were in town. One of the biggest challenges is combating the loneliness that can come from being one of a handful of doctors in a smaller town. Larson says working with a community to provide a social network for doctors and spouses is a must for re-
executive medical director for Presbyterian, tells SFR. While the numbers aren’t as striking when it comes to doctors under age 40, New Mexico ranks near the bottom of the AAMC physician workforce survey. Just 13.7 percent of the state’s physicians are on the fairer side of 40. Only seven states have a lower rate. To get younger doctors here, Presbyterian leans on the state’s climate, culture and outdoor opportunities. It also sells its network of hospitals, an insurance program and a medical -Dr. David Arredondo, group. “Most physicians now Presbyterian Medical Group are seeking employment within a health care system, which is different than it used to be,” he says.

At But Arredondo says he’s always comsome point, the state needs to find a way peting for a piece of a pie that just isn’t to attract younger physicians from else- big enough. “This country does not train where.

New Mexico State University, though its students are often affiliated with NMSU. He says the age of New Mexico’s physician population is one of the first things he learned about the state. “The old doctors are part of the baby boom generation themselves. The number of elderly people in the US is exploding,” he tells SFR from his office. “You have this perfect storm of older people entering the health care system at a time when older doctors are retiring.” At the same time, he says, more effective geriatric care means the medical community keeps people alive longer. There’s a ballooning need for medical care at a time when the country seems least prepared for it. Mychaskiw says the college, which began its first classes last year, made a point of identifying an underserved border community in which to locate. Las Cruces, and New Mexico in general, fit the bill. The college, which awards degrees after a four-year program and follows that up with internships and residencies, plans to enroll 162 students each year. It graduates its first class in 2020. It’s a step in the right direction, but it comes at a time when New Mexico needs to make a leap. “You could put 10 medical schools in the area,” says Mychaskiw, “and it still wouldn’t be enough.”

The State of the Forest If anyone is going to save the national forests, it’s going to be the people who own them: everyone 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

his summer, only one law enforcement officer will patrol all of the Santa Fe National Forest. Rangers spotted in wilderness areas are likely there on a volunteer basis, or at best compensated with a per diem to cover their lunch. Horseback volunteers are taking existing maps, GPS units and aerial photos into the San Pedro Parks Wilderness to update those maps to reflect the current trail system. Restoration of the Glorieta Baldy Lookout is underway in the hands of Friends of the Santa Fe National Forest, a 501(c)(3) organization gathering donations, grants and volunteers for the job, a task expected to come with a price tag just under $100,000. Volunteer crews will likewise be responsible for all trail maintenance work. Where’s the greatest need? Drop your finger on the map, one staffer jokes. It’s everywhere. “The only way we’ll be able to provide sustainable recreation opportunities into the future is to continue to increase our partnerships with local trail crews,” says James Melonas, forest supervisor. The public doesn’t just own the Santa Fe National Forest; they’re responsible for its upkeep, too. How it’s managed for decades to come—what areas become wilderness, where trails are built, and which

of its many uses guide maintenance—is up for discussion right now in the yearslong process of drafting a new forest plan. “Our forest plan revision work … is really charting the course for the future of the Santa Fe National Forest and how it fits into the community and how we move forward with our restoration on the forest,” Melonas says. “A big piece of that is our recreation program—how do we make sure that we have a good framework and a blueprint for how we’re going to provide sustainable recreation going into the future? It’s a big deal.” The areas around the Jemez Ranger District and the Jemez National Recreation Area, the popular hiking trails in the Sangres just outside Santa Fe, as well as the Pecos River corridor are all being particularly scrutinized for the impact of recreation and whether the approach needs to shift. “We want to be able to have different kind of tools in the tool box for how we are working with our partners and the community to be thoughtful about recreation, trails and maintenance,” he says. The plan is supposed to guide how the service manages its forests, grasslands and riparian areas, maintains resiliency in ecosystems, and balances the wants and needs of various stakeholders (like ranchers and recreationalists). The strategies in the existing 30-year-old plan are now out of date, given current science and technology, including those enabling
new forms of recreation (mountain biking of the 1980s, for example, aligns only in spirit with biking today). In particular, the agency is examining which of the tens of thousands of acres inventoried as potential wilderness could be added to the Pecos, Chama River Canyon, or San Pedro Parks wildernesses. A patchwork halo of inventoried acres surrounds each of those wilderness areas, but any recommendation the Forest Service makes is just a recommendation, and would require Congressional action to finalize.
Keeping cattle grazing where they’re supposed to is among forest challenges.
The Forest Service has hosted roughly 126 meetings to discuss the plan and its various components with the public. “There is less conflict than you might believe because people are openly talking about what their interests are,” says Bill Zunkel, president of Friends of the Santa Fe National Forest, a nonprofit working on projects to help support the forest, of his experience at meetings to discuss the plan. “A lot of people carry around ideas in their head about what ‘those people’ are like—what the ATV people are like or what horse people on trails are like or what the people who want to cut trees for lumber or mine or graze are like. And once they get into a room and see each other as humans, it decompresses that.” Which is not to say that the various interested parties don’t still see this as a

high-stakes game—ask the mountain bikers concerned about trails closing to them if wilderness areas expand. Comments on the Forest Service’s draft on focus areas jointly filed by Western Environmental Law Center and water conservation organization Amigos Bravos point out that climate change exacerbates the existing impacts to these landscapes from ecological and community stressors such as poorly managed roads and livestock grazing. The forest, they say, should function as a carbon sink; whether it achieves that hinges on how these acres are managed. The leading goal for the Forest Service, Melonas says, is in returning fire to the landscape before catastrophic wildfires occur, and restoring riparian areas to preserve water resources. The
and issues we’re dealing with are working at a much broader scale.” A partnership model is similarly being deployed to address the Greater Santa Fe Fireshed, a 110,000-acre area that’s being treated to reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfire. “One of the purposes of the coalition is to not just plan, but to find places to actually implement things that are ready to go,” says Sandy Hurlocker, Española district ranger. Those tasks will likely start with two smaller-scale projects near the Tesuque Pueblo and Hyde Memorial State Park. Hurlocker’s district includes Ski Santa Fe, and this year, he’s once again dealing with cattle moving from their neighboring grazing allotment onto the ski area, where they’re not supposed to be. “We’re kind of at a loss for figuring out how they’re getting there, because the fence is up and the cattle guards we think are working,” he says. “It’s just one of those deals where the cattle know how to get around, especially when they have something as munchable as the grass up in the ski area. … We don’t have a great solution right now.” Pecos/Las Vegas District Ranger Steve Romero -Bill Zunkel, president of Friends was in the field recently of the Santa Fe National Forest following up on reports of illegal off-road vehicle use near the watershed boundary. agency also aims to transition to a mod“The public pointing out some of el that recruits multiple partners and these issues to us [helps], because obvitackles a series of projects that address ously, we can’t be everywhere at once,” landscape-wide issues: The Southwest he says.

A MORAL CHOICE
As pressure mounts, faith sustains veteran New Mexico doctor who provides rare third-trimester abortions
I
BY JOEY PETERS a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
f Curtis Boyd lives by one professional mantra, it’s this: Unless a woman has full autonomy over her body, she lacks full citizenship and lives instead as a second-class citizen. The controversial and celebrated abortion provider explains this thoughtfully on a hot, dry Fourth of July day in his Albuquerque office. A wiry man of 80 years, Boyd wears a gray surgical gown and says he’s working the holiday because the type of procedure that his clinic, Southwestern Women’s Options, is known for requires multiple days. The clinic sits near I-25 on Lomas Boulevard, a crowded east-west thoroughfare on the edge of downtown Albuquerque. Across the street looms a pink billboard paid for by the group Prolife Across America. “Save the babies, heartbeat 18 days,” pleads the text. An infant’s chubby face peers out at passersby, a reminder of the ire against Southwestern Women’s Options even on days when no protesters show up. Boyd speaks softly with a twinge of an accent that betrays the small east Texas town where he grew up. He sits on a leather chair in a corner room, away from where he and four other doctors perform surgical procedures. A bookshelf includes dry medical encyclopedias and clinical contraception manuals, political titles and books that indicate his profession. Boyd is a Christian; he says his spiritual background informs his work. Early in life, he was ordained as a Baptist minister. After medical school and residency, he became a Unitar-

Our role is to help her make a decision in the grace of God that she can live with. -Dr. Curtis Boyd
Boyd soon repoened a clinic in Dallas and in 1985, opened an additional clinic in Albuquerque. The Santa Fe location closed in 1993. Boyd isn’t a typical abortion provider. Since 2010, his Albuquerque clinic has offered abortions for women during the third trimester of pregnancy, a procedure performed at only a handful of other clinics nationwide. His practice draws an intense, emotional response from the anti-abortion community, making Southwestern Women’s Options one of the most scrutinized abortion clinics in the country and New Mexico ground zero in the abortion wars.
Despite a failed Albuquerque citywide ballot initiative in 2013 that would have banned abortions after 20 weeks of gestation, two of the architects of that effort say they’re focusing anew on shutting down Boyd’s clinic. A yearslong legislative effort to limit abortion access shows no signs of abating, despite repeated failures to pass a bill for the governor’s signature. Last year, a controversial congressional subcommittee scrutinized Southwestern Women’s Options amid a deeper dive into fetal tissue donation and research practices throughout the country. The
investigation led to a lawsuit against the clinic over fetal tissue donation to the University of New Mexico and a request for a criminal investigation by state Attorney General Hector Balderas. The third-year AG, a Democrat, took up the case, and his office says an investigation is still ongoing. All this comes as the national Democratic Party flirts with softening its support for abortion rights and Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who many view as the key swing vote generally in favor of abortion rights, is rumored to consider retirement.
Boyd, who is nearing the end of his career, knows this. “We have a long struggle ahead of us,” he says. Boyd began performing abortions in 1968, five years before the landmark Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion throughout the nation. At the time, he was providing the service in his hometown of Athens, Texas. With each procedure, he risked jail time and his medical license. His patients came primarily through referrals from a network of clergy that CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

ian Universalist. In his medical practice, he chose to support women. “Our role is to help her make a decision in the grace of God that she can live with,” Boyd tells SFR and NM Political Report in a rare, in-depth interview. His work performing abortions stretches to the pre-Roe v. Wade days of the late 1960s, when he practiced illegally in the unwelcoming confines of smalltown and big-city Texas. Pressure, real and perceived, from the law drove him away and into liberal Santa Fe, where a more tolerant citizenry welcomed his work in 1972, just a year before the Supreme Court granted abortion as a fundamental right.
Dr. Curtis Boyd, circa 1990, provided abortion services in Santa Fe between the ‘70s and ‘90s. He now runs clinics in Albuquerque and Dallas.

He didn’t find it to be much different. After all, the Dallas district attorney, Henry Wade, became the defendant in the lawsuit that would eventually lead to the 1973 Supreme Court decision that shaped modern abortion access in the United States. Sometimes, Boyd grew paranoid when he saw a police car. He set his sights on New Mexico, where the state allowed women to seek abortions for psychiatric reasons. While more lenient than Texas, Boyd still saw the law as demeaning: Women were essentially forced to tell a psychiatrist they were depressed and suicidal to have any chance of getting a legal abortion. “They shouldn’t have to do that; it’s sort of humiliating,” Boyd says. “But at least it was legal.” He opened a clinic near Atalaya Mountain on Santa Fe’s east side. The city, he says, had “new-age draw” where
“all the hip people were.” To him, it was “the mecca.” “No one harassed me,” he says. “We did our work.” At the time, the Roe v. Wade case headed to the Supreme Court. President Nixon had just appointed four conservatives to the high court, tilting its balance to the right. Boyd thought the case was doomed. But the court ruled in favor of abortion rights, 7-2. One of Nixon’s new appointees, Justice Harry Blackmun, even wrote the majority opinion, ruling, among other things, that states could not ban abortions up until the point that a fetus has a good chance of surviving outside the womb. Today, that point differs according to a hospital’s resources, but it generally occurs around 24 weeks or more of pregnancy. Federal law allows states to ban abortion procedures that take place beyond then. Forty-three states currently ban abortions at some point in the pregnancy, except in cases when the woman’s life or health is in danger, according to the Guttmacher Institute. New Mexico is among the seven states, plus Washington, DC, that have no restrictions. Boyd says he was “astounded” by the court’s decision on Roe v. Wade. “My nurse and my assistant, we just shouted, we were embracing each other, and I said, ‘Oh, thank God almighty, it’s over,’” he says. But the buoyancy of the court victory didn’t last.

had assembled an underground railroad of sorts to clinics willing to perform abortions before it was legal—the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion. Among its members was Carl Boaz, at the time an assistant minister at First Presbyterian Church in Richardson, Texas. In an interview, he says he always supported “a woman’s right to decide what she should do with her body.” Boaz also heard “horror stories” about women who suffered after abortions at unsafe places in the 1960s. “They had no one to talk to who really gave a damn about who they were as a child of God,” Boaz says. “So it was important for me to provide a context that was non-judgmental, that was open to dealing with whatever emotions were prevalent.” Boyd signed on as one of the group’s doctors. The ministers needed the help; they often weren’t familiar with basic medical information about abortions. Word spread quickly about Boyd’s Athens practice. Boaz believes Boyd and others weren’t discreet enough—though caution may have not been enough to prevent the coming crackdown. As Boyd tells it, clients drove to his clinic in Volkswagen cars—symbols of the hippie counterculture. That was more than enough to draw attention from authorities, especially in a small Texas town of fewer than 10,000 people. Soon, Boyd noticed police cars sitting outside his clinic. “I think they believed I was dealing in drugs,” he says. On the advice of one of his nurses, Boyd moved his practice to Dallas, where the big-city atmosphere might be more accommodating to his profession.
The Rev. Carl Boaz was an early member of the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion.

The faith community is as heavily divided on the abortion issue as the political community. Bud and Tara Shaver, a Christian couple who describe their strong-willed advocacy against abortion as a calling from God, represent the face of Boyd’s opposition, an ever-present foil. The couple met at a Bible college, got married and moved to Arizona. Ten years ago, they made it their lives’ work to end abortion. The pledge came in a prayer on the drive back home from a Christian music festival. Tara had just visited a booth for Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust, an anti-abortion group known for using public displays of large signs of bloody fetuses as a protest tactic to bear witness to what it calls the “sin of abortion.” Before reading a pamphlet from Survivors, Tara says the abortion issue never really registered with her or her husband. Of Survivors, she says, “their whole focus is kind of recruiting people who were born after 1973 and really casting the vision that if you were born after that time, you survived abortion.” The Shavers are among those born after Roe v. Wade was decided, and for them, the mission was clear. They moved to Wichita, Kansas, to organize against George Tiller, a doctor who performed abortions through the third trimester of gestation. They joined Operation Rescue,

tables in protest, and hurling constant death threats at him and his colleagues. “For me, the worst has been since abortion was legalized,” he says. Boyd insists that federal law enforcement agencies such as the FBI and the US Marshals Service have been more willing to help clinics against threats of violence under Democratic administrations. “We had names to call, telephone numbers to call [of federal authorities] if we had any problem,” he says. As soon as Donald Trump became president, Boyd says that stopped again. “As always, it’s politics,” he says.
look at some organization or someone to blame.” Boyd describes Tiller as a dear friend with whom he had worked for years. At the time of Tiller’s death, the National Abortion Federation encouraged clinics already practicing second-trimester abortions to expand into third-trimester abortions. Boyd helped establish the federation, a trade association of sorts for abortion providers. His wife, Glenna Halvorson-Boyd, once served as its president. “Glenna and I got together one evening,” Boyd says. “We had just been looking at each other, thinking about the same thing. We said, ‘We need to do this. We need to carry on this work that George was doing.’” They soon hired two doctors who had worked with Tiller and specialized in the practice to come and work in their Albuquerque clinic.
another controversial group that uses protest tactics similar to Survivors. In 2009, a man named Scott Roeder shot Tiller to death as Tiller attended a Wichita church service. Operation Rescue denounced the murder and denied Roeder was a member of the group. Investigators found the phone number of Operation Rescue’s then-senior policy advisor, Cheryl Sullenger, on a piece of paper in Roeder’s car. Sullenger, now the group’s senior vice president, has her own past controversies. She served two years in prison in the late ’80s and early ’90s after pleading guilty to conspiracy for her involvement in the botched 1987 bombing of a California abortion clinic. Tara defends Operation Rescue for “always denouncing violence” and protesting Tiller’s practice for 10 years in a way that focused on “peaceful, legal action.” “It’s just kind of the scapegoat,” she tells SFR and NM Political Report. “People want to
People want to look at some organization or someone to blame. -Tara Shaver, antiabortion activist
As this happened, the Shavers came to New Mexico with the goal of shutting down Boyd’s newly expanded practice. The couple allied with Fr. Stephen Imbarrato, a priest and then-director of Project Defending Life, and have since pushed a variety of anti-abortion efforts and causes. In 2013, they worked on a ballot initiative in Albuquerque that would have banned abortions after 20 weeks of gestation. Voters rejected it by a 10-point margin.
The Shavers now work with Abortion Free New Mexico, which focuses on using tactics outlined in a 2014 Operation Rescue manual that include undercover work to “bring accountability” to abortion. The Shavers see no difference between abortions performed earlier and later in a pregnancy; they say both are equally wrong. Their decision to focus on the latter is a political one. “Late-term abortion is something we can use to kind of get people to think more clearly and scientifically and logically about what actually happens in an abortion procedure,” Tara says. Public support for these types of abortions varies. A Marist poll from 2014, for example, showed that six in 10 respondents favored banning abortions after 20 weeks. But a STAT News and Harvard University poll last year found the same number of respondents favored access to abortion after 24 weeks in cases of fetal anomalies like microcephaly, a birth defect. Boyd says he sees patients “who are dying if they do not get the abortion, women who have severe congenital defects.” “Women don’t have late-term abortions for frivolous reasons,” he says. “They don’t just get up one morning and say, ‘I’m tired of this pregnancy. I’ll call Dr. Boyd and get an abortion.’ They go through an ethical decision-making process. They’re trying to figure out, ‘What is best for me, for my family, the children I have, the children I hope to have, for society?’” These types of abortions are indeed rare. The most recent statistics from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show procedures that happen after 20 weeks of gestation account for just 1.3 percent of all abortions in the United States. (The CDC reported roughly 700,000 abortions total for 2012, the year studied). More than 91 percent of abortions happen in the first 13 weeks of gestation, while more than 65 percent happen in the first eight weeks. Pregnancies last around 38 to 40 weeks on average. The second trimester ends around week 28 of the pregnancy. The third trimester lasts until birth. Southwestern Women’s Options advertises that it provides abortions for women through the 28th week of pregnancy. Any woman past 28 weeks of gestation seeking an abortion is admitted for procedures on a “case-by-case” basis, according to the clinic’s website. Boyd calls performing such procedures a privilege and “a powerful experience.” Sometimes, his patients ask him to bless them and the fetus, which he does readily. CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Because so few clinics opt to practice third-trimester abortions, Boyd’s clinic draws patients from outside New Mexico. Boyd attributes this to the lack of services available elsewhere. “I know our reputation,” he says. So when he’s asked about what he thinks when he hears Albuquerque described as “the late-term abortion capital of the nation”—a term the Shavers take credit for coining—Boyd responds wryly. “A great sense of pride,” he says. The comment is tongue-in-cheek, but Boyd again gets serious defending what he describes as the dire importance of his work. New Mexico should be proud that it has a more open stance on women’s reproductive rights than most states, he argues. “I value the pregnancy,” Boyd says. “The pregnant woman values the pregnancy. That’s not the point. She has to make that decision that, ‘My life and health might be at risk.’ Or, she may have to think, ‘I have a severely damaged baby and I need to take action to end this pregnancy. I’m not going to subject my family to this.’”
ANDY LYMAN
Regardless of the local anti-abortion groups, Boyd says he’s found New Mexico to be supportive of women’s reproductive rights—much more so than, say, Texas, where he says he experiences more protests and hostility at his Dallas clinic. “New Mexico has strong women’s coalitions,” he says, including groups like Young Women United and local chapters of the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, the National Organization for Women and the American Civil Liberties Union. Joan Lamunyon Sanford, who heads the New Mexico Religious Coalition, traces her advocacy on the issue to being raised by independent-minded parents and brought up in the Methodist Church. Like Boaz, she says her advocacy for abortion rights boils down to economic, racial and social justice. Even if abortion becomes illegal, the privileged will have access to it if they want. “It’s a common thread across faith traditions that we’re called to care for the people who live among the margins,” Lamunyon Sanford says. “Our abortion funding is a call to access.” Yet resistance is strong where it exists. A handful of protesters flock to the Albuquerque clinic on a regular basis. Santa Fe lost its lone surgical abortion provider when she retired in 2011, although the city’s Planned Parenthood clinic offers misoprostol, sometimes known as the “abortion pill.” A few protesters can occasionally be seen outside its St. Michael’s Drive office.
Among the major disagreements in the abortion debate is when life begins. Dr. Curtis Boyd explains that different schools—biology, religion, law and philosophy—lead to different answers. The problem, says Boyd, a family medicine doctor who performs abortions, is that people often confuse and conflate the different disciplines. “Biological life begins at conception,” he says. “In fact the sperm is alive and the egg is alive before they unite. When they unite, they’re still alive, but now they’re developing in a different station. That’s biological.” The beginning of life is interpreted in different ways in different cultures. But in our culture, personhood “has always” begun at birth, Boyd emphasizes, and this has been the basis legally as well. “Birth is when you take a breath of life,” he says. “You’re born when you leave the woman’s body and take a breath of life. Then you have achieved personhood.” That concept is even biblical, Boyd explains, describing the belief that ensoulment occurs with the first breath outside of the womb. The Rev. Carl Boaz, an ally of Boyd, also cites God breathing life into Adam as the beginning of humanity. Anti-abortion activist Bud Shaver begins with the biological explanation. “If you can scientifically say that abortion does take the life of a human being, then you can morally say that it is wrong to take the life of an innocent human being, therefore abortion is wrong,” he says. “Then you can have your moral foundation.” Shaver describes Boyd bringing his religious beliefs into his practice as “an emotional manipulation of spirituality.” Boyd, however, argues that such a vision against abortion access is “somewhat lacking in Christian generosity and compassion.” “For me, you can value pregnancy and you can value the women simultaneously, and you can respectfully bring that pregnancy to an end, still valuing the fetus and respecting the fetus,” Boyd says. “And we do that every day.”
Boyd gave a rare interview, dressed in his scrubs and working on the July 4 holiday.
Each year, the state Legislature hears a slew of bills to limit abortion access, among them a ban on all abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Those proposals, which feature impassioned testimony from both sides of the debate every year during the committee process, have never made it to the governor’s desk. Some did, however, pass the state House of Representatives multiple times when Republicans controlled the chamber in 2015 and 2016. Gov. Susana Martinez, now in her last year-and-a-half in office, signaled her support for the measures. And US Rep. Steve Pearce, the only Republican to so far announce a run for governor in 2018, has been vocal in his advocacy against abortion rights throughout his 13 years in Congress. Earlier this spring, Pearce joined Tennessee Rep. Marsha Blackburn, who chaired the Select Panel on Infant Rights, in a small rally against UNM’s fetal tissue research practices. Boyd would not comment directly on the lawsuit and attorney general’s investigation into his clinic regarding fetal tissue donation. In the lawsuit, a former patient alleges the clinic donated her fetal tissue without her consent. In legal filings, Boyd’s attorneys argue that the clinic’s fetal tissue donation is done with proper consent. Near the end of a lengthy interview in his Albuquerque office, another anecdote comes to Boyd’s mind. It’s from Justice Anthony Kennedy’s 5-4 decision in the Supreme Court in 2007, upholding 2003’s Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. Though he acknowledged no reliable data to back it up, Kennedy wrote that it seemed proper to assume that some women “come to regret their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained.” “The philosophical question you have to ask Justice Kennedy: Does she get to regret her decision, or does she get to regret your decision that you’re forcing on her?” Boyd asks. “Where do you think the greater regret will lie, if she even has regret?” He argues that the abortion debate comes down to a notion that has flowed through it like water for decades: choice. “I don’t really advocate for anyone to have an abortion,” he says. “I advocate for the right for the woman to decide for herself whether she will continue that pregnancy or not.”

The actual mission was founded in 1718. The building itself was started in 1744, but the inscription above the door says 1758 AVR—presumably Ave Maria Regina, “Hail Mary, Queen (of Heaven).” It is most famous and revered for the heroic but fatal stand of 1836 against General Santa Anna and his troops for independence from Mexico. The church fell into ruins, and after Texas joined the Union in 1845, the Army Quartermaster Corp rebuilt the façade and added the profile of the now famous parapet in 1850.

That’s what white people do.” Scroll through Instagram and it’s easy to confirm that image. Punch in #climbing and the results are a lot of white faces. Necefer saw that as fix worth tackling, so he started the account @NativesOutdoors to diversify that stream. The photographs show them shredding steep powder, holding up a fish so long it requires both hands or clusters of freshly gathered sage, or just perched on an overlook in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Posts include comments on what these natural places mean to them—sustenance from fishing, peace and quiet, or the place to ski for the 84th day in a row. “I was thinking it would be pretty small,” Necefer says. “I didn’t know what to expect because I didn’t know too many other Native people who were doing what I was doing or were interested in the things I was interested in.” But it has blossomed to a bustling 4,500 followers, many of whom are from Canada’s First Nations, and some are Indigenous people as far away as northern Russia. His goal is to fuel conversations about public lands that shift how Natives are viewed and view themselves in the outdoors. Necefer credits his time at the United World College, with its campus in Las Vegas right on the edge of the Pecos Wil-
larger scheme of the public lands debate … you kind of see divisions between hunters and anglers and people who do outdoor rec, such as climbing and biking—and the thing is, within the Native community, that division does not exist.” It has the potential to uproot the notion that we have less in common than in difference. There’s political power in there, he argues, when it comes to preserving the future. So, too, is there a means to ease some of the wounds of the past. National parks were often created at the expense of Indigenous people, who were relocated to make space for icons like Yellowstone and Yosemite. “The imagery of a Native person outdoors has been really sort of empowering for a lot of people, just kind of claiming space where historically we have been excluded,” he says. Though 90 percent of national parks are within 100 miles of a reservation, just 3 to 5 percent of park rangers are from tribes. He contends there’s an opportunity for an affection for outdoor recreation to turn into not just play, but work, and a way to make a living and stay near their communities without turning to extractive industries like mining. To make space, however, the outdoor industry may need to show a little more respect for how Natives view outdoor spaces. Terms like “conquering” a mountain feel offensive, and the notion of climbing Shiprock, a sacred icon on the Navajo landscape, is downright blasphemous. Questions of disposable time and income to spend on these activities are part of much larger issues, but imagining more minorities outdoors is a start. Necefer is not alone in the effort, working alongside groups like Outdoor Afro and

A preponderance of people of color appeared in the latest REI catalog—he knows. He counted. The hope is that shifting the visuals pays off in much bigger ways. “It’s going to be important that all communities have access to the outdoors, because if anything happens, they’ll have a stake in the environment,” he says. In the face of unimaginably huge problems like the climate ticking warmer, ever closer to cooking off our current way of life, or plastic waste turning to soup in the ocean, he says, “Getting outdoors and being in nature gives people something to relate to about why that’s important.”

Plus, goths are hot, so… (Alex De Vore) Colorado Goth Fest 2017 Invasion of Skylight: 7 pm Thursday July 20. $10. Skylight, 139 W San Francisco St., 982-0775.
COURTESY DAVINA AND THE VAGABONDS
MUSIC TUE/25 NUCLEAR REACTION The 2017 Santa Fe Bandstand series is in full swing, and if you’ve been missing out—well, that’s just not good. Rectify your mistakes and be glad you did with Banda Atómica, a radioactively good time featuring about a bazillion members playing big-band style salsa. What’s that, you ask? It’s dancey, OK? Just be there. Minnesota’s Davina and the Vagabonds headlines and is perfect for anyone who longs for the likes of Amy Winehouse or still thinks about how Betty Boop was a babe. Whatever your poison might be, this thing’s free and outside, so stop with the excuses and start with the beingthe-hell-there. (ADV) Santa Fe Bandstand: Banda Atómica with Davina and the Vagabonds : 6 pm Tuesday July 25. Free. Santa Fe Plaza, 100 Old Santa Fe Trail.
MUSIC FRI/21 & SUN/23
On a Mission from God Ashley Raines is not a gospel singer I first saw Ashley Raines play on May 20, 2009. He was touring in support of his self-titled album and, at a loss for what to even call his sound at the time, I tweeted that it was “sexy funk-country.” (Now, I’d add bluesy Americana-ishbut-darker, with a question mark to be safe.) His voice was alternately scraping and soaring, gravel mixed with glass beads. A steel guitar came alive in his lap. Notes bent and curled in the dim bar. Since, his music is comfortable but exciting—every time, a familiar face in a foreign city. For Raines, whose storied background is the stuff Emmett Kelly only dreamed of, life is music. His isn’t jaunty Americana for backyard barbecues; these songs have brewed for years, distilling the human condition into a batch of something that burns. His songs often reference religion (when asked why, he says: “If I was in France, I’d speak French”), but his is a deity to be jeered and questioned, not blindly praised. For It Could Be Worse, his new record out Aug. 25, he’s “gotten the band
back together” and joined up with the musicians and producers with whom he first recorded in 1998. I recently asked Raines how the zeitgeist influenced it. He scoffed at the question. “That’s a young person’s game,” he says of writing for the times. “If you’re worried about shaping up what you’re doing because of however the wheel is rolling, I think you’re just gonna get rolled over by it.” While his sound has tightened and deepened through the years, his honesty remains the same. He has no schtick. “The songs—they’re yours when you’re working on them,” he says, “and after that they’re not yours any more. It’s just my job at that point to open up the basket and say, ‘Here they are. Take them or leave them.’” (Charlotte Jusinski) ASHLEY RAINES WITH JAKE STANTON AND VANESSA ARICCO 8 pm Friday July 21. Free. Mine Shaft Tavern, 2846 Hwy. 14, Madrid, 473-0743 4 pm Sunday July 23. Free. Duel Brewing, 1228 Parkway Drive, 474-5301

Three in the Chamber Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s artistic director gives us the lowdown
COURTESY SANTA FE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL
MUSIC
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
B
y the time you read this, the 45th annual Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival will be underway. You may know this already, but it’s popular. As always, though, my concern with certain kinds of music (classical/chamber, for example) comes down to one major question: How do we involve younger people? “I’ll tell you how,” says Artistic Director Marc Neikrug, now entering his 20th season in the position. “You make it mandatory that every school start teaching music, art, theater and every other vital cultural aspect of human beings from the age of 3. Then it will be no problem.” Neikrug admits this sounds daunting when such a thing is left until potential chamber music fans are in their teens or 20s, but, he says, “I’ve been hearing for 50 years that the audience is dying, they’re old, they’re going to be gone, yet they’re exactly the same as they were 50 years ago.” Neikrug is, so to speak, a sort of classical music rabble-rouser. The Chamber Music Festival has evolved under his watchful eye over the years from a relatively safe series of concerts into a sprawling organization that tries new things, packs ’em in and educates. “There are two things I’m obsessed with,” he says. “The lack of education and the evolution of our culture. I’ve got
grandkids, so I’m also invested.” This has meant one-day training for area music teachers so they can lead classes in the months before the festival, a program that places violins in the hands of disadvantaged youths and evolving ideas for the fest itself to draw in new and returning listeners. “I’ve always felt that a festival that takes place over six weeks in the summer has a community obligation in the other nine months to justify being here,” Neikrug says. He also describes himself as having been “genetically and environmentally pre-destined” to this life. The son of cellist parents, he spent most of his life around musicians and says he’s been told that at 2 or 3 years old, he peered out a window, observed passersby and wondered aloud: “Where are all those people’s cellos?” Neikrug became a professional pianist and composer himself. In 1983, he came to New Mexico to research an opera he was writing for the Berlin Opera called Los Alamos, met a Santa Clara woman, married her—and the rest, as they say, is history. “About 10 or 12 years later, this job fell into my lap,” he quips. And though the man is “against highlights,” and says that anyone could “put a schedule on the wall, throw a dart and hit a great concert,” we asked him to choose
three specific events from the multitudes in this year’s fest as don’t-miss. Feldman by Flux 2-8 pm Friday July 28. Free. St. Francis Auditorium, New Mexico Museum of Art, 107 W Palace Ave., 476-5072 “Feldman died 20 years ago, and he had written a string quartet that was literally six hours long,” Neikrug says. “It’s hardly ever done.” Still, the Flux Quartet will play the piece in full. The good news? It’s free, and interested parties may come and go as they please. Vivaldi & Mozart 5 pm Saturday August 12. $44. St. Francis Auditorium, New Mexico Museum of Art, 107 W Palace Ave., 476-5072 “This is your ‘baroque-y’ kinda stuff,” Neikrug explains. Pieces include Vivaldi’s Piccolo Concerto in C Minor, Albinoni’s Trumpet Concerto and Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 13. Look, you know the names, just check it out. L’Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier’s Tale) 6 pm Thursday August 17. $15-$79. Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco St., 988-1234 “It was written after WWI,” Neikrug tells SFR of this Stravinsky work, “and it was
...and it’ll look a little something like this.
meant to be a piece that was a very minimalist theater piece that you could go anywhere and throw up as a quick production.” This one is perhaps a tad more theatrical than one might expect from the fest and features Wallace Shawn (The Princess Bride) playing the soldier, the woman and the devil in a tale about a man who sells his violin or, Neikrug adds, “his soul.” Shawn translated the speaking parts from the original French and the Chamber Music Festival will be the premiere of his version. If those don’t strike your fancy, there are 42 other performances to choose from. And even if you think you don’t like the stuff (or just don’t actually know), Neikrug is confident there’s something for everyone. “People are intimidated by all the things they think they don’t know about it,” he says. “They’re intimidated by thinking they aren’t allowed to listen if they don’t know enough—but music is the absolute equalizer, the only art form which directly connects to you emotionally.” Oh, and PS—all the rehearsals at the St. Francis Auditorium are free and open to the public, and a full schedule is available at santafechambermusic.com.

The City Self-Sufficient Santa Fe Makerspaces Unite!
CO URT ESY MA KE SAN TA FE
BY LIZ BRINDLEY @lizbrindley_artwork
S
“
anta Fe is a city of makers,” Ginger Richardson, a leading founder of MAKE Santa Fe, says. MAKE (2879 All Trades Road, 819-3502) is a local makerspace, a collaborative venue for creative empowerment where people can share tools and knowledge to make ideas come to life. Though Santa Fe often finds itself in economic and social disparity, Richardson believes makerspaces are an opportunity to unite a town. “A city is the sum of the stories it tells itself,” she explains. “If we can begin to engender a story in which we are all makers, that is one way to bring this city together.” MAKE originated in 2015 and moved from Meow Wolf to its new location off of Siler Road in January of this year. Richardson say MAKE chose this location to ensure resources were accessible to all members of the community. On the flipside of town, the New Mexico History Museum (113 Lincoln Ave., 476-5200) launched its own makerspace, the Cowden Makerspace and Learning Lab, in June. Through a collaboration with the Santa Fe Opera, the museum makerspace aims to combine historic and modern materials, such as textiles and LED lights, in projects inspired by its exhibitions. Allie Burnquist, a leader of the program, brings a range of knowledge from her work with similar spaces throughout New Mexico including the Parachute Factory in Las Vegas, MAKE Santa Fe,
Somebody MAKE’d this.
and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in Albuquerque. She also led the Makerstate Initiative, a traveling makerspace that visited 50 cities throughout New Mexico and hosted over one hundred pop-up workshops. With this background, Burnquist helped the museum makerspace build a collaborative web throughout Santa Fe and, in the month since its opening, the space has already hosted participants from the Georgia O’Keeffe Art & Leadership program and is currently collaborating with the Girl Scouts of New Mexico Trails to create a virtual exhibition highlighting women in history.
The makerspace also provides free public studio access in its lobby where visitors can combine the historic process of printmaking with modern paper circuits to create light-up cards. “This space allows people to experiment with things,” Burnquist tells SFR. “A lot of times kids will ask, ‘Am I doing it right?’ and the answer is, ‘Just try it. If it doesn’t work, we will figure it out.’ We get to break the insecurity of being wrong.” Meanwhile, MAKE recently completed a three-month program with ¡Youthworks!, Girls Inc. popped into the studio for a hands-on experiment with the laser
cutter and young makers from Tesuque Pueblo are visiting this week. The organization aims to bolster their efforts as recent recipients of a $50,000 grant from the Wells Fargo CommunityWINS program through the US Conference of Mayors. MAKE’s DigiFab Youth Lab program continues its trend of training in digital fabrication, workforce development and pre-apprenticeship for youths in Northern New Mexico. Such collaborations allow community members to experience a variety of tools from the 3D printers, circuitry and printmaking at the museum to laser-cutters, plasma-cutters and weaving at MAKE. Access to hands-on resources is only one value, however; in addition to tools, makerspaces find people of varied backgrounds sharing studios and exchanging ideas. “It’s about the people, the interaction, the encounter,” Richardson says. “It’s a human endeavor.” In its space, MAKE works to create more gender equality in the maker world. Anaid Garcia, a MAKE volunteer, seeks to provide resources for women to build skills for self-sufficiency and confidence. “My wife and I try to be more present in the studios to encourage that gender equality,” Garcia says, “to break down the barriers for access.” These visions guide both organizations to bridge divides through tactile, handson skills that combat consumer-driven “quick-fix” society with an emphasis on the joys and frustrations of process. “Part of being a maker is the troubleshooting process,” Burnquist says. “We have to fail in order to succeed because we wouldn’t know the right way if we hadn’t done it wrong a hundred times.” BUILD, CREATE AND INVENT MEMBERSHIP ORIENTATION 6 pm Wednesday July 26.

I’m a 35-year-old straight woman, recently married, and everything is great. But I have been having problems reaching orgasm. When we first started dating, I had them all the time. It was only after we got engaged that it became an issue. He is not doing anything differently, and he works hard to give me oral pleasure, last longer, and include more foreplay. He’s sexy and attractive and has a great working penis. I am very aroused when we have sex, but I just can’t climax. It is weird because I used to very easily, and still can when I masturbate. I have never been so in love before and I have definitely never been with a man who is so good to me. Honestly, all of my previous boyfriends did not treat me that well, but I never had a problem having orgasms. My husband is willing to do whatever it takes, but it’s been almost a year since I came during vaginal intercourse! Is this just a temporary problem that will fix itself? -My Orgasms Are Now Shy “This is a temporary problem that will fix itself,” said Dr. Meredith Chivers, an associate professor of psychology at Queen’s University and a world-renowned sex researcher who has done—and is still doing—groundbreaking work on female sexuality, desire, and arousal. “And here’s why it will fix itself,” said Dr. Chivers. “First, MOANS has enjoyed being orgasmic with her partner and previous partners. Second, even though she’s had a hiatus in orgasms through vaginal intercourse, she is able to have orgasms when masturbating. Third, she describes no concerns with becoming sexually aroused physically and mentally. Fourth, MOANS has a great relationship, has good sexual communication, and is sexually attracted to her partner. Fifth, what she’s experiencing is a completely normal and expected variation in sexual functioning that probably relates to stress.” The orgasms you’re not having right now— orgasms during PIV sex with your husband—the lack of which is causing you stress? Most likely the result of stress, MOANS, so stressing out about the situation will only make the problem worse. “I wonder if the background stress of a big life change—getting married is among the top 10 most stressful life events—might be distracting or anxiety-provoking,” said Dr. Chivers. “Absolutely normal if it were.” Distracting, anxiety-provoking thoughts can also make it harder to come. “Being able to have an orgasm is about giving yourself over to pleasure in the moment,” said Dr. Chivers. “Research on brain activation during orgasm suggests that a key feature is deactivation in parts of the brain associated with emotion and cognitive control. So difficulties reaching orgasm can arise from distracting, anxiety-provoking thoughts that wiggle their way in when you’re really aroused, maybe on the edge, but just can’t seem to make it over. They interfere with that deactivation.” Dr. Chivers’s advice will be familiar to anyone with a daughter under the age of 12: Let it go. “Let go of working toward vaginal orgasm during sex,” Dr. Chivers advised. “Take vaginal orgasm off the table for at least a month— you’re allowed to do other things and come other ways, just not through vaginal-penile intercourse. Instead of working toward the goal of bringing back your vaginal orgasm, enjoy being with your sexy husband and experiment with other ways of sharing pleasure, and if the vaginal orgasms don’t immediately come back, oh well. There are, fortunately, many roads to Rome. Enjoy!” My advice? Buy some stress-busting pot edibles if you’re lucky enough to live in a state that has legal weed, MOANS, or make your own if you live in a suck-ass state that doesn’t. And tell your husband to stop trying so hard—if his

I’m a straight man who recently moved in with a rich, straight friend. He sent me an e-mail before I moved in letting me know he was in a femdom relationship. He was only telling me this, he said, because I might notice “small, subtle rituals meant to reinforce [their] D/s dynamic.” If it bothered me, I shouldn’t move in. Finding an affordable place in Central London is hard, so I told him I didn’t mind. But I do. Their many “rituals” run the gamut from the subtle to the not-so-subtle: He can’t sit on the furniture without her permission, which she grants with a little nod (subtle); when he buzzes her in, he has to wait by the door on his hands and knees and kiss her feet when she enters and keep at it until she tells him to stop (NOT SUBTLE!). She’s normal with me—she doesn’t attempt to order me around—but these “rituals” make me uncomfortable and I worry they’re getting off from my witnessing them. -Rituals Often Observed Mortifying In Extreme His apartment, his rules—or her rules, actually. If you don’t want to witness the shit your rich and submissive friend with the great apartment warned you about before you moved in, ROOMIE, you’ll have to move your ass out. I know a teenager in a theater production who is receiving inappropriate advances from an older member of the cast. Her refusals are met with aggression and threats that he’ll make a scene, ruining the show for everyone. I believe that fear is causing her to follow through with things she isn’t interested in or comfortable with. What advice would you have on how she gets out of this situation? She’s otherwise enjoying the theater experience. -Theatrical Harassment Really Enrages Adult Torontonian The awesome band Whitehorse invited me to Toronto to celebrate their new album, Panther in the Dollhouse, which features songs inspired by sex-workers-rights activists and—blushing—the Savage Lovecast. (Luke and Melissa and the band rehearsed and played the Savage Lovecast theme live, which was magical.) Anyway, THREAT, I answered your question during the show and I kindasorta jumped down your throat. I thought you were a member of the theater company and an eyewitness—and passive bystander—to this harassment. (“You ask what this kid can do about this,” I recall saying, “but the better question is why haven’t you done something about it?”) But there was nothing in your question to indicate you were an eyewitness and a passive bystander, THREAT, which I didn’t realize until rereading your question after the show. Sigh. I have more time to digest the questions that appear in the column or on the podcast, and my copy editor (peace be upon her) and the techsavvy at-risk youth live to point out a detail I may have missed or gotten wrong, prompting me to rewrite or rerecord an answer. But I’m on my own at live shows—no copy editor, no TSARY, no net—upping the odds of a screwup. My apologies, THREAT. But even if you’re not an eyewitness, THREAT, there are still a few things you can do. First, keep listening to your friend. In addition to offering her your moral support, encourage her to speak to the director of the play and the artistic director of the theater. This fucking creep needs to be fired—and if the people running the show are made aware of the situation and don’t act, they need to be held accountable. A detailed Facebook post brought to the attention of the local media should do the trick. Hopefully it won’t come to that, THREAT, but let me know if it does. Because I’m happy to help make that Facebook post go viral. On the Lovecast, Amanda Marcotte on Game of Thrones: savagelovecast.com mail@savagelove.net @fakedansavage on Twitter ITMFA.org

With an interest in the mythological and the figurative, local artist Michael Bergt comes to Nüart Gallery with three other artists for group show Figurations. But the internationally recognized and multi-talented artist doesn’t just tell the same old tale. Instead, Bergt puts a contemporary twist on mythological tales through a fresh look at power dynamics, identity and form. The work work, spanning several mediums, is on display alongside pieces by Vincenzo Calli, Charles Ladson and Doug Smith at Nüart Gallery (670 Canyon Road, 988-3888) through Sunday July 30. (Lauren Thompson) Can you tell us about your work in Figurations? I call it The Minotaur Series. They’re paintings, drawings, one sculpture is in it, and mostly they’re about this dance between the Minotaur and Ariadne in principle, where the Minotaur represents the masculine and Ariadne represents the feminine, so I’ve exaggerated that. A lot of your work is based on ancient myths and animalistic imagery—what inspired you to explore this part of history through art? Essentially, those are the images that have inspired much of Western art, period. So, I’m mining them again and continuing the sort of tradition. But I also think that you can be very contemporary while dealing with ancient archetypes, and that’s primarily what my interest is at this point. You know, when I take on the subject matter, I don’t really treat it the way it is historically—I always tweak it, I change it and make it sort of evocative of what I think is more reflective of where we are now, and what we know now. What can viewers learn from figurative art as opposed to literal depiction? I base my art on actual observation from life, so I mean, I’m drawing from life anyway. So, it’s representational, and I’m using the figurative as the subject matter, so a little bit of stylization happens from that simply because of the process that I do, and because I’m intrigued by the subject matter. But, it’s still very representational.

This Wood’s Really Doing It For Us STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO m a r i a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m I L L U S T R AT I O N S B Y T H E A M I L I N A I R É
A
creative mind often sees potential for beauty where others do not. Aviva Baumann, maker and founder of Twig, a local business producing earrings from recycled materials and reclaimed woods, is an artist who falls into this category. She sees the extraordinary in the ordinary and makes something of it. At the heart of the Twig endeavor is Baumann’s commitment to upcycling; most of the materials her company uses would otherwise become trash. As a student in the Santa Fe Community College’s woodworking program, Baumann also builds furniture. “We have these burn boxes, which are basically boxes where small scraps of wood get thrown that can’t be used,” she says. “I was watching all of this really beautiful wood get thrown away, and I just kind of had a moment and was like, ‘Or, I could make jewelry out of it.’” Baumann’s budding company kicked off in October of last year. “It started out with just making stuff for my friends, and people kept asking about it so I decided to make it into a business,” she explains. “And it took off.” Twig’s earrings are thinly sliced wooden geometric shapes and simple fractals that feature varying colors and textures. Some have New Mexico-inspired names such as El Bosque, Angel Fire and Carrizozo. “The wood grain informs the shape of the piece,” Baumann says. “It usually starts with me gathering all of my scraps. … I sort all the wood and then a lot of the time it’s tonal stuff. I’ll pick certain pieces and match them—every pair is unique.” Baumann has only produced earrings thus far, but says she plans to branch out soon into other kinds of wearable wood, like bolo ties and necklaces.
With organic colors and sophisticated, simple designs that set sand-colored pieces next to rich wine-red ones, creating symmetrical patterns; or designs created with dark and light marbled wood that looks like an agate—these aren’t like the played-out earrings you see in airport kiosks with cliché henna patterns burned into cheap wood. Baumann’s designs are something you can wear every day, or add to an elegant ensemble for an evening event. They’re “versatile, simple, and natural,” she tells SFR. And they’re not heavy like many dangling stunners are. “I feel that they really fit the New Mexico aesthetic, and they natu-
rally go with whatever you want to wear,” Baumann adds. Materials are sourced from the burn box pile at SFCC and Baumann gathers wood scraps from other artists and furniture designers. “It’s been a really cool way for me to connect with other woodworkers in the community,” she says. “At this point, everyone that’s at the community college and various other furniture or cabinet shops in town knows that I do this. So I’ll swing by and go through the piles at Boyd & Allister; or some of my fellow woodworkers will bring me pieces of wood they say has been sitting in their garage for 20 years, and they say, ‘I want to give it to you for earrings.’” She says her studio and garage can look a bit like a hoarder’s haven, but one would never guess it looking at her clean designs. Wearing one of Baumann’s pieces (they all run $50) is adopting part of a recovered wooden treasure into your wardrobe and, given all her resources, you never know; your new pair could be made from the remnants of a fancy piece of furniture or an important work of art. In addition to selling her designs on her website, (twig.works—yes, that’s the URL), which is often sold out, you can find Baumann’s earrings at local establishments like Dragon Rising (1512 Pacheco St., 4280276), Madrid General (2873 Hwy. 14, Madrid, 570-0827) and Body (333 W Cordova Road, 986-0632). Soon, you’ll find her pieces available at other shops in Albuquerque and Taos; keep an eye on her Instagram (@twig. works) for updates, and her site for new twigs.

FOOD
Milad Persian Bistro
Kabob all day every day, except Monday BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
L
ate-night eating in Santa Fe is pretty skimpy on choices. It’s just one of those accepted things: You eat before 9 pm, you finish your drinks by 10 pm. The list of places worth going to that are also open after that can be counted on one hand. Even for a city the size of Santa Fe, this is pretty disappointing. In November of last year, chef Neema Sadeghi added a new eatery to the latenight list with Milad Persian Bistro (802 Canyon Road, 303-3581). Nestled between El Farol and Geronimo, Milad opens at 11 am and closes at 10 pm Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday. But Thursday, Friday and Saturday, the contemporary Persian cuisine flows until midnight! That makes this the latest place to get a bite in town that isn’t a bar or fast food, though the restaurant is closed Mondays. My good friend Joie and I like to go out for late food and drinks whenever we are both in town and she suggested the new spot since neither of us had tried it. As we arrived, a storm brewed over the mountains and thunder echoed around the street. People eating on the nearby Tea House patio looked nervous. We opted for a comfy window seat. The space is cozy, with only about 10 tables inside and maybe five more out-
side; Milad seats roughly 30 people. This is not a negative—cozy is good. The old adobe sits on a corner and once you enter, it feels like a nurtured space. Sadeghi has taken the time to lightly decorate the one room with artwork by local painter Sepideh Majd, and the effect is one of eating in a gallery or a home dining room; you’ve entered a curated environment. This carries over into waitstaff and menu. It may seem like a small detail, but the staff all seemed to want to be there. It’s easy to tell when a place isn’t fun to work at, and it always changes the experience for me when I see that in the staff of a restaurant. The menu features a substantial list of small plates and a small but thoughtout selection of larger kabob plates (they spell it this way; it’s closer to the original Urdu spelling). The wine list is plentiful, and there are draft beers available as well. Most of the small plates are vegetarian and a veg kabob is also available. The small plate trend is one that I go back and forth on. It’s a great way to try different options and share among friends, but the portions never fill you up. It’s an excuse for many restaurants to just charge a bit more for a bit less.
Falafel
Barg beef tenderloin kabob
First Impressions: • Milad has taken a different approach to their small plates. The portions are worth the price. • This place is open late. This is the best first impression it could give. Opting for gluttony, we ordered the ta’chin ($9) and carrot falafel ($8) plates to share. Ta’chin is best described as a layered saffron rice and chicken cake that is crisped on the outside. It was topped with barberries and onion. The falafel was portioned into small, two-bite balls that sat on a creamy cilantro yogurt. I ordered doogh ($5) to drink. It’s an unsweetened yogurt
Feta-stuffed dates
soda that is great when eating spicy or rich foods. Joie got a glass of Martín Códax Ergo Tempranillo ($9). The crispness of the outer layer of the ta’chin reminded me of hash browns. It was good, but the chicken was oddly bland despite being cooked perfectly. The barberries added all of the flavor to the dish and there was a sweet citric layer that was definitely needed for balance. The falafel was amazing. Rich and creamy on the inside, just enough sweetness from the carrot to balance the kick of serrano pepper, it was hard to not eat them all in one go. Yogurt is so good in savory dishes, and here it added a light cooling note. For the main course we each got a kabob. I ordered the barg ($18), a beef tenderloin marinated in garlic and saffron. I got mine cooked medium. Joie got the jujeh chicken kabob ($14), marinated in yogurt and served with a lemon wedge. First Impressions: • The kabobs all come with rice, a charred tomato and a small cucumber salad—it makes for a full plate. • The beef was tender and flavorful, with a decent amount of char on it. I like my beef with a bit more of a crust, but the marinade was rich enough to make up for this. Joie’s chicken was perfectly cooked and the combination of the yogurt and lemon was spot-on. • The cucumber salad was tangy and fresh. The rice was buttery and surprisingly rich in saffron flavor. Most people go light on this expensive spice. For dessert we had feta-stuffed dates ($6). The dates were drenched in honey and served hot. We didn’t finish them, but this says more about how much we had stuffed ourselves than the taste of the dish. They were incredibly rich and a perfect finish to the night. The rain started a few minutes later.

FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULD MAKE THE SWITCH TODAY Consumer Reports — one of the nation’s most trusted personal finance publications — offered a bold statement in a recent article: “There has probably never been a better time to switch to solar.” From tech improvements to environmental benefits to tax incentives, there are so many reasons why this is true. People are catching on: America has been averaging one new residential solar installation every 100 seconds. Here are five reasons to act now and install home solar: 1. This is the moment to take advantage of falling solar costs. Solar installation costs have fallen dramatically — to half of what they were in 2008 and 100 times less than what they were back in 1978. Still, as Consumer Reports notes, this is the time to go solar, rather than waiting on the sidelines for further price reductions: many of the recent price cuts have been “soft costs,” including labor costs that are unlikely to decline much further. You can have confidence installing solar today. 2. The 30% federal tax credit scales down starting in 2019. The federal government is still offering excellent incentives to go solar — but you must act now. In the coming years, tax credits will scale down to 26 percent and then to 22 percent. In addition to tax breaks, there are other excellent options including low-interest financing that are available now. 3. New Mexico’s “Net Metering” law makes solar a smart investment. Through “net metering,” New Mexico residents can generate their own power and get credit for what they provide to the grid for others to use. This law — in effect now — makes solar extraordinarily cost-effective. 4. Solar technologies and installation processes are better than ever. As the solar industry has grown and matured, customer satisfaction has reached impressive heights. Leading firms, including SunPower by Positive Energy Solar, are now able to design and install solar energy systems with minimal impact on your home’s appearance. Power failures are extremely rare, and customers can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a 25-year power and product warranty. 5. This is a crucial moment to help protect clean air and water. As challenges including water scarcity, air pollution, and carbon emissions intensify, people are looking for opportunities to live sustainably. Going solar is a simple and effective way to do your part. By eliminating the need for polluting and waterconsumptive power plants, solar energy reduces harmful air pollution, saves vital resources, and improves our quality of life. It’s an easy way to be part of the solution.

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

If you haven’t been following the Planet of the Apes timeline, it started with a James Franco-created super-ape named Caesar (played by the ever-brilliant motion capture superstar Andy Serkis, whom you probably know better as Gollum) who became extra-sentient, rounded up a bunch of other apes and then moved into the woods to ape it up and live peacefully. Humans, of course, couldn’t jive with this plan, especially since the rise of apes brought with it a horrible virus called the Simian Flu. What few humans remained became understandably bummed, and by the time we catch up with everyone in War for the Planet of the Apes, things have become pretty rough. Caesar and his pals are holed up in a hidden fortress beneath a waterfall, but this doesn’t sit well with The Colonel (Woody Harrelson), a Kurtz-esque army dude who’s basically gone nuts, defected from the skeletal government

and kills or imprisons any ape or virus victim he comes across. Caesar isn’t down, but he’s been through the shit already and just kind of wants to move to the desert with his family … y’know, to find himself and maybe take up painting. But when The Colonel just won’t let it go, Caesar and his ape pals Maurice, Rocket and Luca set out to even the score and ensure the safety of their kind. Serkis is, as always, fantastic, both as a voice and motion capture actor, and the CGI of Apes is so phenomenal it’s practically indistinguishable from the real thing. Harrelson, however, is underused, showing up only to make jerkish comments and shoot apes now and then. Still, despite a clunky middle section that drags on entirely too long, the battle sequences and subtle nods to clas-
sic cinema do make for a riveting film. Steve Zahn as the comedic Bad Ape kind of makes it worth it alone, even if he diffuses heavier moments before they’ve had a chance to land. Regardless, the series of reboots (or is it prequels?) brings up some good points about the uglier parts of humanity and how fear can drive the worst of us to commit unspeakable acts. Apes indeed becomes better than one might assume, though unless you were already planning on being there, you can probably just wait and watch it at home. WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES Directed by Matt Reeves With Serkis, Harrelson and Zahn Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 140 min.

+ ROMANO AND HUNTER ARE GENIUSES - A BIT TOO LONG FOR WHAT IT IS; NANJIANI NOT THERE YET
Stand-up comedian and actor Kumail Nanjiani steps out from his Silicon Valley ensemble duties for The Big Sick, a tale loosely based on his nontraditional courtship with his real-life wife Emily Gordon (played here by Zoe Kazan), with whom he also co-wrote the script. Nanjiani plays himself, a middling Chicago stand-up who is heckled one night by a young woman and is in a relationship with her shortly thereafter. Sick follows the likes of comedian Mike Birbiglia’s 2012 autobiographical Sleepwalk With Me, though Nanjiani himself has admitted to taking artistic license from the actual events that led to his marriage. As a young Pakistani man, Nanjiani is supposed to accept an arranged marriage situation. But when Emily is placed in a medically induced coma to combat a lung infection, he slowly realizes he’s in love with her despite his parents’ wishes. Along for the ride are Emily’s parents, played fantastically by Ray Romano and Holly Hunter, both of whom outshine Nanjiani at every turn; it isn’t that he’s not talented, nor does the script fall short
Kumail Nanjiani presents some form of his own personal love story in The Big Sick.

WONDER WOMAN
per se—it’s really more like he’s just not there yet as a dramatic actor, and it’s never more apparent than when he shares screen time with the veteran actors. Romano provides the best performance of his career as a lovably goofy father grappling with the aftermath of his own infidelity and the frantic emotions of having a sick child. Hunter is, as always, incredible (find us a film where she isn’t—we dare you) and often it seems like scenes without them are simply eating up time before they return. Support from SNL’s Aidy Bryant and consummate weirdo stand-up musician Bo Burnham is much appreciated as well, though both hardly feel as well-used as they might have been. It is, after all, Nanjiani’s life story—or some of it, anyway—but Bryant and Burnham are both so funny in their own right that it seems a misstep. The rest starts to drag toward the end and there are only so many “my culture is different” jokes that can land with enough oomph. Regardless, The Big Sick is a perfectly fine first step for the relative newcomer Nanjiani and boasts enough laugh-out-loud moments to justify itself. Direction from Wet Hot American Summer alum Michael Showalter follows a relatively familiar indie-esque bent, but make no mistake—this is a Judd Apatow CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

SPIDERMAN: HOMECOMING

+ PROPERLY EMBRACES THE SOURCE MATERIAL
- MARVEL IS NEVER PERFECT
Marvel Studios’ interconnected superhero universe keeps kicking ass with Spiderman: Homecoming, the third reboot in the franchise, now with newcomer Tom Holland as the titular Spidey. The what’s-right elements of the film are many: no tired origin story, superior cast (including an actually young Peter Parker, because wasn’t Toby Maguire, like, 37 and who the hell is Andrew Garfield anyway?), a healthy mix of humor interspersed throughout the melodrama and, most importantly, summer fun. We follow Spiderman as he desperately tries to win favor with Tony Stark/Ironman (Robert Downey Jr. himself) and, by extension, the full-on Avengers. Our hero is just 15, so he’s obviously brash and impatient. But he still acts as the hero of Queens, curbing crime and flinging all over the damn place with his web-shooters. But when a one-time salvage crew foreman (Michael Keaton) is screwed out of a job by some covert and newly founded government/Stark Industries alien collateral damage joint cleanup department, the class of criminal in NYC shoots up into the super-villain strata, whereupon Spiderman is also tangled up in the high-stakes world of alien
tech-propelled murder and mayhem. Keaton is a goddamn treasure as The Vulture, an everyman father-type pushed to extreme measures—and a pretty nifty flying super-suit— because of class warfare or something. Holland excels as well, providing a perfect balance between petulant youth and accidental hero; the quieter, tenser moments between the two are superb, especially in Keaton’s more restrained “Imma kill your ass!” scenes. Overall, the story (from Freaks and Geeks alum John Francis Daley) provides more complexity than we’re accustomed to from the Spiderman world, and director Jon Watts makes sure the dramatics never quite reach overthe-top. He prefers instead to zero in on the wise-cracking, web-dangling, lady-saving Spidey we’ve come to know and love over most of our lifetimes. Is this high cinema? God, no—but you’ll have a blast and a half the entire time, and that’s not nothing. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 133 min.
THE HERO
9
+ ELLIOTT IS SUPERB - WRAPS UP A LITTLE FAST; WE DIDN’T LOVE PREPON
Sam Elliott gives what may just be the performance of his career in The Hero, a painful yet ultimately hopeful look into the side effects of fading stardom and the hard knocks of aging. Elliott is Lee Hayden, a one-time Western film star in the twilight of his existence. As Lee faces a grim medical diagnosis, he begins to reconsider his legacy and tries to patch things up with his family, but as his unresolved emotions begin to
Tom Holland finally does Spidey justice in Spiderman: Homecoming. Also, Michael Keaton as a villain? Nothing wrong with that, no sir.

pile, he grapples with whether or not he’s led a life worth living. Lee spends his days getting stoned with his former costar Jeremy (Nick Offerman, who previously starred alongside Elliott in the sitcom Parks and Recreation), providing voiceover work for commercials with his deep, booming voice or trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Krysten Ritter). When he starts dating a much younger woman named Charlotte (Orange is the New Black’s Laura Prepon) and is offered a lifetime achievement award from some rinky-dink Western appreciation club, he sets into motion what may be a professional second wind. Still, he deals with the diagnosis alone, causing him to stumble in auditions and sabotage whatever scraps of potential happiness he may have left. Writer/director Brett Haley (I’ll See You in My Dreams) crafted The Hero specifically for Elliott, who is utterly brilliant—all at once effortlessly channeling his own real-world career and the stark sadness of a father who feels he’s failed his child. Even as he’s point-blank confronted with the possibility that he’s only trying to right the past in the face of death, Lee wonders how that could possibly be so bad; he’s not wrong so much as it may be too late. But still he tries, even as he feels he never lived up to his own promise. This isn’t easy to watch, but it does raise poignant questions, all the while cutting to the very core of universal self-doubt and our innate human need to feel we did OK with whatever limited time we may have had. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, Violet Crown, R, 93 min.
THE MUMMY
3
+ I MEAN, IT’S PEOPLE FIGHTING MUMMIES
- TOM CRUISE, IN GENERAL
Where does one even begin in dismantling any far-fetched high hopes for a quality reboot (sort of, but more on that soon) of The Mummy with Tom Cruise? First off, Cruise at this point is really more of an onscreen presence than actual thespian. Rather than sink his teeth into anything, Cruise remains content to sprint towards things or away from things and make silly quips and one-liners while doing his best to not look as short as he actually is next to his leading ladies. Here Cruise plays Nick Morton, an American solider of some kind who, along with his reluctant cohort Vail (New Girl’s Jake Johnson), disregards orders to traipse around the Middle East stealing artifacts to sell on the black market. It’s absurd—and not in a fun, Indiana Jones kind of way because at least Indy was all like, “It belongs in a museum!” It’s more like, Cruise-isn’t-ascharming-as-he-thinks-and-who-the-hell-decided-to-try-and-inject-humor-into-this-movie kind of way. During a routine theft attempt in Iraq, Nick and Vail unwittingly discover the ancient tomb (or is it?!) of an Egyptian princess (Sofia Boutella) who was buried alive for making a deal with the god Set so she could be all kinds of powerful. Wouldn’t you know it, though—they awaken her, she’s pissed and she’s gonna give Set Nick’s body so he can have dominion over life and death which, frankly, doesn’t sound all bad to us. Along for the ride is a beautiful archaeoloCONTINUED ON PAGE 43

Dear Gal Gadot, you are our hero.
gist named Jennifer (Annabelle Wallis) with whom Nick shares one of those oh-so-playfully combative relationships (but they probably care deeply about each other). Jen has secrets of her own, though, like how she works for Russell Crowe who—twist!—plays Dr. Jekyll. Yes, yes— that Dr. Jekyll. See, Universal Studios is clearly telegraphing a return to their monster movie stable of yesteryear, and with sly nods to properties like the Creature from the Black Lagoon and vampires and stuff, it becomes clear to film fans (read: people of a certain age) that there’s plenty more where this came from whether we like it or not. The exposition becomes downright gratuitous at a certain point, and it isn’t long before we realize we’ve just been watching running punctuated by a few face-punches, and whatever light elements of Egyptology may have made it through seem squandered to a fault. No, this film is not as goofy-fun as the 1999 Brendan Fraser romp, and even far-superior CGI and a lack of The Rock don’t make up for a dragging plot, god-awful writing and another forgettable turn from Cruise. Killing time? Knock yourselves out. Looking for something even slightly good? Move on. (ADV) Regal, PG-13, 110 min.
WONDER WOMAN
7
+ GAL GADOT ABLY BLENDS BEAUTY AND BRAWN
Arriving in World War I-era London, Diana peruses a new wardrobe to cover her utilitarian leather skirt and blend into a corseted, maledominated society as her alter ego, Diana Prince. “How do you fight in this attire?” the warrior unironically asks, donning an outfit that evokes the fashion of the women’s suffrage movement. The scene references the comicbook origins of Wonder Woman, whose creator, psychologist William Moulton Marston, was partly inspired by early-20th-century feminism. Director Patty Jenkins (Monster) was originally tapped to direct Thor 2 before leaving the Marvel Studios project due to creative differences. For more than a decade, she lobbied to helm a Wonder Woman film, and then got the gig after Michelle MacLaren dropped out. The result is the most grounded of the first four films in the evolving DC Extended Universe. It doesn’t reinvent the superhero origin story; it’s rather formulaic in that regard. Pine’s able mix of wit and earnestness serves him well as Diana’s sherpa and latent love interest, and Gadot strikes the right balance as an alluring, even playful idealist who relishes the battle but not the war. Wonder Woman isn’t a transcendent movie heroine à la Ellen Ripley from Alien or Imperator Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road. But she is seminal, if not singular, in modern superhero cinema. (Neil Morris) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 141 min.
- RATHER FORMULAIC
The long-overdue Wonder Woman film is an origin story that doesn’t shrink from the beauty or brawn of a hero in whom the parallels of ancient mythology and modern superhero fiction become literal. Diana (Gal Gadot), the precocious daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), is a princess of the superhuman Amazons. The all-female tribe, originally created by Zeus to protect mortals, eventually withdrew to the mystical “Paradise Island” of Themyscira to escape man’s wickedness. But mankind interrupts paradise when American soldier and spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash-lands on Diana’s doorstep, during World War I, with a squadron of Germans in pursuit. As the far-off factions negotiate an armistice, a rogue German general (Danny Huston) and his maimed, mad chemist (Elena Anaya) concoct a new nerve agent that could tip the balance of the war. Hearing of the cataclysm and motivated by the mythological bedtime stories of her childhood, Diana comes to believe that only she can save the world by leaving Themyscira and vanquishing Ares, the Greek god of war and an enemy of the Amazons.

MIND BODY SPIRIT
Rob Brezsny
Week of July 19th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): The Greek word philokalia is translated as the “love of the beautiful, the exalted, the excellent.” I propose that we make it your keyword for the next three weeks -- the theme you keep at the forefront of your awareness everywhere you go. But think a while before you say yes to my invitation. To commit yourself to being so relentlessly in quest of the sublime would be a demanding job. Are you truly prepared to adjust to the poignant sweetness that might stream into your life as a result?
weeks, say them periodically throughout the day. 1. “I want to give the gifts I like to give rather than the gifts I’m supposed to give.” 2. “If I can’t do things with excellence and integrity, I won’t do them at all.” 3. “I intend to run on the fuel of my own deepest zeal, not on the fuel of someone else’s passions.” 4. “My joy comes as much from doing my beautiful best as from pleasing other people.”
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Two talking porcupines are enjoying an erotic tryst in a cactus garden. It’s a prickly experience, but that’s how they like it. “I always get horny when things get thorny,” says one. Meanwhile, in the rose garden next door, two unicorns wearing crowns of thorns snuggle and nuzzle as they receive acupuncture from a swarm of helpful hornets. One of the unicorns murmurs, “This is the sharpest pleasure I’ve ever known.” Now here’s the moral of these far-out fables, Gemini: Are you ready to gamble on a cagey and exuberant ramble through the brambles? Are you curious about the healing that might become available if you explore the edgy frontiers of gusto?
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I suspect you may have drug-like effects on people in the coming weeks. Which drugs? At various times, your impact could resemble cognac, magic mushrooms, and Ecstasy -- or sometimes all three simultaneously. What will you do with all that power to kill pain and alter moods and expand minds?

Shy REMY and her pal REXY are a bonded pair of lovable, indoor kittens that rely on each other to feel comfortable and would love to find a family together. Born to a feral cat and brought in too young to survive on their own, they’ve been in foster care for several weeks, growing big and strong, plus gaining socialization skills. They’ve learned how to climb cat trees, been introduced to dogs, kids, and other cats too. They can never explore is the outdoors because they’re friendly with dogs and won’t run away from them – so they have a greater risk of being attacked.
