“CITY COUNCIL ASKS ...”

“SHUT YOUR BIG TRAP” While hiking in Los Alamos County in 2014, my 12-year-old heeler got caught in a steel jaw trap inches from a trail. Fortunately, one of our party knew how to release her. It took three of us to free her. I will never forget the screams from her, nor will my life ever be the same. Since that day, I have been on a quest to ban these horrific and barbaric devices. I own and train search-and-rescue dogs; the thought of one of our highly trained dogs getting trapped makes me wonder why I do search-and-rescue. What do these things say about society or our reverence for wildlife? Thanks for bringing the awareness to light, again.

If you’d like to find out the quality of your medical cannabis, secrecy policies at the health department keep the results of tests from your eyes. A hearing examiner says those documents and other data should be made public.

Recently, city councilors decided to allow developers to pay a fee in lieu of being required to build low-income housing. The money goes for rental assistance, and they hope the rule brings prices down all over the city.

The Opposite of Love

BY AND R E A L M AYS

A

person much older and wiser than myself once told me, “It’s not hatred that’s the opposite of love, it’s indifference.” I was 22 at the time, and I didn’t really get the point my mentor was trying to make.

It seemed to me that the energy one could potentially expend “hating” another person, a place, a circumstance or a situation would best provide a force of opposition to combat the power of love.

Then I thought, Indifference is flat.

Indifference is passive.

I have since realized that this was my friend’s point. Human beings as a species are not passive. Therefore, indifference perverts our humanity. It stunts our growth. It stops our reaching and therefore stifles the possibility of love. Indifference blocks our attention and empathy, and thus snuffs out opportunities we might have to experience and respond to each other.

In this way, indifference within us is a sly and profound opponent to love. Our indifference prevents us from questioning the ills affecting others and the suffering and injustice we witness. It blinds us to the structural inequality we participate in and the social lessons and arrangements that inform our biases and our prejudices.

When indifferent, we passively accept things, and ourselves, as they (we) are, regardless of how awful or ill-formed.

Worse still, our indifference creates the climate for more suffering, cruelty and greater injustice, and equally dangerous, indifference breeds ignorance.

It makes unnecessary any justification for why we turn our backs on opportunities to reach across the gaps of difference, knowledge, disparity and understanding—so that we might grow and create a better future together.

Philosopher and British statesman Edmund Burke summed this up memorably, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men [and women, I’ll add] to do nothing.”

Here’s the Thing: For a year now, I have attempted (for the most part) to use this column to illuminate some of the issues confronting New Mexicans

and incite conversations that might nudge readers into re-evaluating their positions or confronting instances of their indifference and thus be moved to personal action.

While it is clear that there are many passionate residents, officials, politicians, business owners, activists and cultural workers in New Mexico who fight every day for the love and wellbeing of our residents and citizens, it also stands to reason that there is also a significant number of people living here, or passing through, who are indifferent to some of the unique challenges that confront us. This is a majestic state, with beautiful and amazing people. But we are also a state on some of the worst Top 10 lists: human trafficking and child poverty, for example.

It is my hope that the issues I have attempted to raise in Here’s the Thing continue to receive light and consideration in the pages of SFR, and that more voices join the discussion on topics of transparency in government, racial disparities, income inequality, education, domestic abuse, gender justice, child welfare and so on.

As I said in my first column a year ago, “transformation—be it anti-racist, social and gender justice, basic human rights—are born out of communities and coalitions of people working together across the lines of race, sex, class, gender, ethnicities, sexual orientation, faiths and generations.” Love is its foundation, not indifference.

Thank you for your readership, feedback and engagement with Here’s the Thing during the past year. I will continue to talk, write and engage people on matters that attempt to reach an understanding “across the gaps” in my scholarly and creative work. I can be reached at acrossthegapsconsulting@ gmail.com.

BRIEFS Udall to DHS: Slow Down Deportation It’s pretty safe to say that the country is divided on how to handle millions of undocumented residents who live here, as Republican presidential candidates call for their deportations and Democratic contenders seek some sort of pathway to citizenship.

On Tuesday, New Mexico’s Senator Tom Udall introduced legislation that would at a bare minimum ensure tens of thousands of migrant children receive adequate legal representation.

Called the Fair Day in Court for Kids Act, the bill, if it were to pass Congress, would slow down the deportations of unaccompanied minors, who hail from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras, according to Udall’s press office.

Right now, the Department of Homeland Security is “rushing” the deportations of many children who arrived in recent years, fleeing violence in their native countries.

The southeastern New Mexico city of Artesia had the distinction of hous-

ing some of them in a former military training ground in the southeastern part of the state. But that facility closed down a little under a year ago as the families were relocated to Texas.

While Santa Fe hasn’t taken in as many children as larger cities across the country, school officials estimate there are a couple hundred unaccompanied minors here who were spared detention and were placed in homes in the city.

While their stay here is protected by a city policy that provides them sanctuary in the form of urging local cops not to collude with federal immigration officials, others across the country, including pockets of New Mexico, have not been so lucky. That led Udall to introduce his legislation, saying the children are “five times more likely” to be granted protected status.

(Thomas Ragan)

Fire Prevention Expands When asked about the potential risks of a catastrophic wildfire in Santa Fe, Porfirio Chavarria, wildland urban interface specialist for the city Fire Department, describes a fire that burns through all the organic layers of a forest to leave bare soil ready for the kind of flash flood and debris flow that could, for example, wipe out the road to the ski basin.

The question came up during a Santa Fe City Council meeting in which council voted unanimously to officially designate the Greater Santa Fe Fire Shed as an area critical to the health and safety of city residents and a priority for efforts to reduce the ecological and economic threats of wildfire. The official designation should increase the city’s influence over managing forests surrounding the watershed and directly affecting the city’s water supply, as well as protect residents and recreation.

“The point of it is to give the city a bigger voice and to show our cooperators that this is a priority area and stymie some of the resistance that may occur in some of these areas regarding project proposals,” Chavarria said.

Thinning, pile burning and prescribed burns have already been used in the watershed, and this designation expands the footprint for those management activities beyond the watershed’s boundaries. The next step will be a National Environmental Policy Act analysis of the acres of surrounding forests, which cover multiple jurisdictions, to assess current conditions, to evaluate the effect of a wildfire today or in even drier conditions, and to prioritize areas for management activity.

Monumental?

La Bajada Mesa could be next for national monument status

BY TH O M AS R AG A N tom@sf re p o r te r.co m

W

ith only 11 months left to go in President Barack Obama’s presidency, a host of preservationists and at least a pair of Santa Fe County Commissioners are hoping La Bajada Mesa, with its beautiful vistas and vast open space, will become a national monument—joining other greats in the state like the Aztec Ruins outside of Aztec, the Cliff Dwellings near Silver City, and Bandelier, just outside Los Alamos.

But among all the hurdles that might be ahead, the idea first has to get through more than a few angry ranchers and residents who live in La Cienega and La Cieneguilla.

Not only have they seen their private properties shrink in size over the years by an ever encroaching federal government, but their rights to graze and harvest and hunt have been drastically limited in their government-owned backyard.

Since the days of Theodore Roosevelt, a Republican president who created the Antiquities Act, the designation of national monuments have all but petrified the legacies of more than a few presidents. Not to be undone or considered any sort of exception, Obama has already signed off on more than a dozen, with three just last week in California’s desert area, and he’s closing in on Bill Clinton’s record-setting 19.

The mesa would be New Mexico’s 15th national monument, but first it has to beat out other notable contenders, like Otero Mesa, which has been waiting for a designation since 2012. The region sits in the southeastern part of the state, in an area surrounding by gas and oil drilling.

The proposal also couldn’t have come at a more inopportune time, when anti-government hostility among ranchers and cattlemen are running high these days, as evidenced by the recent stand-offs in Oregon and Nevada.

While Santa Fe County’s ranchers aren’t nearly as radical and are certainly more sensible, that’s not to say there is a certain amount of resentment and anxiety when it comes to the federal government, in this particular instance with the Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service, which together own 120,000 acres under consideration.

Ancient archeological sites can be found on La Bajada Mesa, including petroglyphs dating back 1,500 years.

Fact is, it’s time to protect the landscape during “We’re in a doughnut hole here,” Jose Varela Lopez, a 55-year-old cattle rancher, tells SFR, referring to La these turbulent times, Strauss says, where already Cienega and La Cieneguilla, which butt up against the there’s a plan to mine 50 acres of private land in its proposed boundaries, tiny islands in a sea of govern- midst, for its basalt for asphalt. The coalition itself was a defense mechanism that grew out of an opposiment property “I don’t know what’s going on here or whether this tion to the proposed development of Santa Fe Canyon is just one big kumbaya,” adds Varela Lopez, who’s Ranch, a vast area a portion of which Santa Fe County taken his own personal plight as far as the US Con- subsequently purchased.

A

s the March 1 municipal election draws near, SFR is bringing back an old favorite—our tradition of calling up candidates and testing their knowledge about the office they seek. The rules for Pop Quiz are as follows: We record the entire conversation and report the answers verbatim. No research allowed, and if they call back later with the right answer, too bad. Two candidates are vying for the city judge. To see who answered correctly (or came closest), check out the answer key below. See last week’s quiz with the District 1 candidates at SFReporter.com

THE QUESTIONS 1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

Who qualifies to participate in the DUI court, and what does that program consist of?

Name the most common category for municipal court cases.

When and where does homeless court meet, and what do those who attend receive for appearing?

Can the city judge issue subpoenas and punishments for contempt of court?

Which people facing charges in city court can get help from a public defender?

VIRGINIA VIGIL, former county commissioner and current Santa Fe municipal judge pro tem 1.

The DUI court is a court designed by municipal court—each court of its own jurisdiction designed its own DWI, drug court and DUI court and it’s designed within the administration of the municipal court. It has staff oversight. Clients who are referred to them are referred to them based on the DUI offenses they have committed, their willingness to participate and their commitment to the recovery component of the program.

They meet on a regular basis, and it’s a multifaceted component. The participants can present to the court a personal plan of recovery, which includes counseling. Usually the participants are required to do community service. They also can assist with their own recovery through participating in Al-Anon or AA or NA, and it’s usually NA, or AA, forget the Al-Anon, those are for the families. So it’s AA or NA, so that is usually a component of their progress, their recovery, and they meet on a regular basis—monthly, minimally—and there’s a progress chart. Each one of the participants presents their progress to the judge. If there’s been a violation of any of the conditions of their participation in the program, those violations are reviewed on a case-by case basis. If the violations are they failed the urine analysis or something of that nature, I think the judge then decides whether or not they are a viable participant in the program, and if they are not, they are removed from the program, and they have to face their charges. Otherwise, their charges are somewhat suspended to see if they can fulfill their commitment to the program, and those who succeed are placed on something of a consent decree, so that if they’re able to complete it, unless it does not violate the mandatory sentencing laws, then there is some discretion, the judge, as to what ultimate judgment and sentence will be given to that participant. I know that’s long-winded, but I think you get it.

2.

The most common category is traffic court. I mean traffic court is a huge component of that, all the moving violations associated with that, that includes speeding, running a stop sign, you know, failure to yield, all of the citations that city police issue that violate the traffic code.

3.

The homeless court also meets at minimum once a month, they meet from 1 to 5 o’clock on a Friday, and that is one of the greatest benefits that municipal court has created for our homeless population, because the biggest infraction that was occurring was if they received a vagrancy criminal trespass charge for hanging out at Walmart too long, they were incarcerated. We had to arraign them, they have to appear before the court after the arraignment, they don’t show up, so a bench warrant gets issued, so they’re back through a revolving door. So the homeless court is an opportunity for the courts to go to where they’re at, and they meet, again, minimally once a month.

4.

5.

It’s a court of limited jurisdiction but that I do believe is within her authority.

Particularly because of the trials that are held there, the court can issue the subpoenas, and usually the remedy for any kind of violation can be a bench warrant, but if it’s an action that’s taken course within the court system, contempt charges can be held.

Usually, it’s those who qualify because of income, and they can only be in certain offenses, and there’s a list of those offenses, and they don’t come to mind right now, but it requires that they submit an application to the public defender, and they make a determination. It’s very similar to what they do in 1st Judicial Court. There are some offenses that don’t qualify, I should tell you that, but I’m not sure which ones those are.

MUNICIPAL JUDGE

IGNACIO GALLEGOS, a trial attorney and administrative law judge at the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Department 1.

DUI court is mainly those people who have been convicted of DUI in Santa Fe. It’s primarily second- and third-time offenders; however, if circumstances justify it, then a first-timer could participate. It consists of a kind of regimen of community service, of classes, and treatment, counseling sessions—group and individual—and then reporting back to the judge in a group. Then once you report back, if you’ve done well, then you move up the participation scale—there’s like a whiteboard where each of the participants are represented by a little peg, and as you get closer to finishing, your peg moves forward.

If you fall behind or if you fall back, then your peg gets moved back to the different stages.

2.

The most common category I would say is parking and traffic, but I think traffic will be the new most popular because, as I understand it, the parking tickets will be dealt with separately from court, so in an administrative capacity.

3.

Homeless court meets at Pete’s Place on Cerrillos Road, and participants get, I believe it’s a bus pass for participating.

4.

Yes, both.

5.

Primarily, the criminal cases that involve any amount of jail time, that’s primarily the DUI cases, the driving-while-revoked cases, the loitering—anything that’s not strictly punishable by a fine.

ANSWER KEY 1.

Usually anyone convicted of a second or third DUI, but possibly for a first if they demonstrate serious problems with alcohol. It consists of individual and group therapy sessions, random urine and breath tests, and meetings every other week with the judge.

2.

Traffic.

3.

At Santa Fe ROC, aka Pete’s Place, and all attendees receive a free one-day bus pass.

4.

Judges can issue subpoenas and can hold people in contempt of court, though that latter measure should be carefully used.

5.

Public defenders are available for those people charged with an offense that could carry a sentence of jail time.

Balancing the Digital Divide With Santa Fe Public Schools Digital Learning Plan funded to move forward, some question whether that means kids need to learn how to power-down, too

BY E LI Z A B E TH M I L L E R e l i za b e t h @s frepo r ter.co m

uring a field trip about a decade ago, Katherine Bueler stopped her science students beside a duck pond to soak in the spring afternoon. She broke out a Frisbee and asked who wanted to play.

None of them did, instead turning their eyes down to their cellphones.

“It was disappointing and kind of freaky,” Bueler says. “It was one of those early moments where I realized, whoa, this is different.”

She teaches eighth-grade science at El Camino Real, an early beneficiary of the Education Technology Note property tax that has funded the Santa Fe Public Schools Digital Learning Plan, and saw some of that same infatuation when iPads entered her classroom. With them came a flexibility in teaching, working with students and allowing them to find new ways to engage with the material. She’s already experienced success with a student who struggled to succeed in class, but who found an app that lets you create planets and stars and see how they interact with one another, and in the ability to use programs through Google Classroom to provide feedback on student work as its written. “[Technology] is jumping over hurdles that public school teachers face and giving us access to resources that wealthier families and schools take for granted, because we can get at some version of them in a virtual form, even if we can’t get at them in a concrete form,” she says. “It’s giving our kids access to a wider range of experiences than they would have access to if we were screen-less.”

That’s how the district often frames the plan—as one that provides equitable access to technology to prepare students for careers in the 21st century. And with 62 percent of the 4,647 votes cast on the Feb. 2 election for the Education Technology Note in favor of continuing a property tax that pays for the district’s five-year Digital Learning Plan, the Santa Fe Public Schools secured $33 million to move forward with the next phase, putting more technology in the hands of more students. Classrooms will see more smart boards, document cameras and laptops for teachers; carts and labs of Google Chromebooks, iPads and Samsung Galaxy tablets for students; and other computer equipment and infrastructure needs, including fiber optic networks for faster Internet service. The goal is to have enough devices so that K-5 students can use them for 1.5 hours each day, sixth graders can access a device all day and seventh graders and above

the technology is very important,” Bueler says. “But I would like to see more support of, especially at the middle school level, wilderness to counterbalance.”

Her sentiments are echoed by others, including the author of Last Child in the Woods, Richard Louv, who will be speaking in Santa Fe later this month. The tagline to his recent book, The Nature Effect, summarizes it neatly: “The more high-tech we become, the more nature we need.”

During a recent event to showcase El Camino Real’s digital learning tools, students and parents huddled around iPads watching student-made videos and even a teacher-made video that kicked off a massive math story problem. Teachers used smartboards to provide tours through math games and online tools to track student progress. Teachers talked about increased engagement from students with devices in hand, excited to make a movie or less inhibited about asking questions when they can email them, or just happy to swap a page of multiplication problems for scoring a couple hundred points on a math computer game. Devices create options.

“We’re focusing on good teaching, and good technology becomes a secondary resource that helps us reach that goal,” Weaver says. “It’s about ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN blending traditional with new ways of learning so that we can make the most effective use of the tools that we have.”

“I think one of the fundamental questions is about depth, it’s about the resonance of an experience for a child or for a student, and what that does for their ability to recall,” says Jeffrey Baker, school administrator of the Santa Fe Waldorf School.

For some, devices throw into question the whole foundation of education, Baker points out. Want to know what constellation you’re looking at?

There’s an app for that. So what’s the drive to learn?

“If we view education as only information acquisition, it really does beg the question,” he says. “Our perspective is there’s more to an education. …

it comes to access to technology, he agrees, but adds, “I think it’s more a question of when is the right time to be introducing these devices. … It’s not about who deserves what.”

And are we going to also ensure equitable access to natural play spaces, school gardens, farm-to-table meals and lessons outdoors?

To spark a dialogue along those lines, the Waldorf school will present a talk by the author Louv in Santa Fe on Feb. 21.

Louv is quick to clarify, he’s not against technology and was, in fact, an early adopter of computers.

“I love my gadgets,” he tells SFR. “But my suggested rule of thumb for education is that for every dollar we spend on virtual, we spend at least another dollar on the natural, on the real.”

for cognitive function and the ability to be creative,” Louv says. “If we don’t, we’re going to have a lot of out-of-balance kids.”

In short, we need both; a modern “hybrid” mind built through experiences with technology and nature possesses the abilities to handle it all.

“It’s not a question of less technology,” he says. “It’s an issue of more nature in education.”

Getting an original birth certificate to comply with the Real ID act is a big challenge for some adoptees

cate was never even filed. They’re Natives whose family ties have been severed beyond their control. Or they’re not sure what story to tell because they don’t know who their parents are.

They are adoptees. Some lack basic information about where a birth certificate might have been issued. For many, the document is under lock and key, because laws in dozens of states restrict access to them.

“It’s an issue that impacts adopted persons in the majority of US states, regardless of when they were born and adopted,” says Kim Paglino, a program manager for the Donaldson Adoption Institute, an adoption advocacy group.

“Most states do not allow adopted persons to access their original birth certificate. It’s time to end the secrecy by making birth certificates more available and not something to hide.”

Only 13 states allow unfettered access to birth certificates and adoption papers, with the vast majority restricting all information unless it comes by court order, New Mexico among them.

LeAnne Parsons, a Los Alamos resident who advocates for adoptees, says the state “is definitely a closed state.”

Above: Leland Morrill, left, finally met his birth father, Edward Pacheco, after 49 years; Morrill likens his adoption to human trafficking. Below: One of the documents that turned up in Morrill’s search was a record of no records in Arizona.

ger be accepted on commercial airlines and US passports were the only alternative.

Already a multitude of Native American adoptees are trying to find their original birth certificates to prove US citizenship, in what perhaps is the height of irony, given that they’ve long been regarded as the first people to live here, but now they have to prove it.

Leland Morrill, 49, is one of them.

Although Morrill has since secured an affidavit of birth from the Navajo Nation and met his father at a Santo Domingo Pueblo feast day last year, the hunt for his birth certificate to get a Real ID-compliant driver’s license was time consuming.

It didn’t start until after he lost his old California driver’s license on the way home from the store in Los Angeles in December 2009. Struggling to balance the multitude of plastic bags of groceries, he misplaced it somewhere. When he went to apply for a new one in the beginning of 2010, clerks told him that his baptismal record from his adoptive Mormon parents did not suffice.

It was pursuit of proof of his US citizenship that opened up doors to who he was, ultimately resulting in a reunion when he finally met his father, Edward Pacheco.

The 72-year-old Pacheco told him that he’d been fighting the Vietnam War when his mother, Linda Kirk, died in an automobile accident in September 1968, apparently falling asleep at the wheel on her way to Albuquerque from Santo Domingo Pueblo to get to her day job as a federal clerk.

That left Morrill, who still doesn’t know the exact name on his birth certificate, in the care of his maternal grandparents. He became the property of the Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Indian Hospital in Gallup after he stumbled into an open pit fire on the Navajo Nation.

“I still have the scar from the skin graft on the bottom of my foot,” he tells SFR in an interview from Los Angeles, where the Brigham Young University gradu-

ate works as a marketer for a jewelry store. “It’s one of those major life-changing moments, and you can’t help to equate the problem to the injustices and the economic disparities found on the reservations.”

Then the day came when a young Mormon couple, incapable of having children of their own, stepped in to adopt Morrill in what he now likens to “a form of human trafficking.”

“We were commodities. They made money taking care of us,” he says of his other nine Native American brother and sisters; they lived all over, from Brantford, Ontario, Canada, where he was baptized in a river at the age of 8, to Rapid City, SD, where he graduated from high school.

He was versed in Mormon scripture while his adoptive father worked for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, writing educational material for textbooks and moving to different towns for the job.

His adoptive mother was a strict housewife, and punishments with a wooden stick left welts.

It was a household that wasn’t poor, by any means, yet wasn’t very loving either.

There were no hugs or kisses or “I love yous” growing up, so Morrill had long grown accustomed to the lack of emotion and wasn’t taken aback when it came to time to meet his father and the cool and calm greeting that ensued between the two: a handshake.

“He’s of that era, in the 1940s, when Native Americans were forced to leave the reservations, and they were sent off to boarding schools to assimilate,” he tells SFR. “They lived apart from their families, too, just like I did, just in a different setting and a difdif ferent set of circumstances.”

Besides, he adds, giving his

father the ultimate benefit of the doubt, “he was busy with the Turquoise Clan that day, but I did get to meet my aunts and my uncles and my cousins.”

Mind you, none of this would have happened had Morrill never lost his California license and joined the countless other ID-less citizens in the inner cities of America. Los Angeles police arrested him one night in March 2010, as they were searching for someone else who had committed a crime.

“I didn’t have an ID on me, and by law, if you’re detained, you need to produce one,” says Morrill, who spent the weekend in the Los Angeles County lockup.

It was a time in his life when he was struggling financially, having lost his job handling investments for Fidelity during the subprime loan era, and now he had to secure a birth certificate.

Ultimately, he tracked down Bob Kirk, his mother’s brother. He conducted an online search of property records in Sanders, Ariz., on the outskirts of the Navajo Nation, and then hopped a Greyhound to get there. It turns out that Uncle Bob knew someone who worked in Window Rock’s bureau of vital statistics on the Navajo Nation. An affidavit of birth was drawn up with the birthdate Oct. 10, 1966, then issued to him in April 11, 2011.

It was sufficient for him to get his Real ID-compliant California driver’s license a few days later, but it’s due for renewal this fall, and he’s crossing his fingers that the process will be purely electronic and that he won’t have to worry about his real birth certificate.

Which, by the way, he now believes could be found at the Albuquerque Indian Hospital.

Yet life is good today: He lives in a rent-controlled apartment in downtown Los Angeles, paying less than $600 a month, and he’s clawing his way back up again, in terms of income.

He earned a bachelor’s in business administration with a minor in accounting in 1988. And he’s got an accomplished résumé from past jobs, which range from writing employee manuals for the Federal Reserve to conducting insurance audits for AIS Insurance and researching interest rates for Fidelity.

He still wonders, though, what things would have been like, had he not walked into that open fire pit.

Right now, he figures, he’d probably be able to speak another language, a dialect associated with the Navajo Nation, some of whose members became famous for breaking codes

during World War II. Or he could be familiar with the language of the Santo Domingo Pueblo and now be a government worker or member of the military, a common path taken by many of his cousins.

“I lost out on the cultural connections and my blood family, but I gained a little,” he says. “But it’s a toss-up. Which life would have been better for me? I think it might have been worse growing up in poverty on the Navajo Nation, but then again …”

His voice trails off. Second guesses. They’re common among adoptees who find out the truth, and something Hentz knows plenty about.

She first discovered the name of her birth mother at the age of 22, after pleading with a Wisconsin Superior Court judge, who broke the law and unsealed a wealth of information for her.

She now regards the event as a stroke of luck of being in the right place at the right time before the right judge and emitting more than a little passion.

She remains eternally grateful.

For a while, there was a time when she sang in a rock and roll band in her early 20s and didn’t even want to date anybody for fear they could turn out to be a relative.

“And I’m not the only out there who’s been adopted and am thinking this way,” Hentz says. “This sort of stuff runs through our heads.”

Her amended birth certificate, the product of the state of Wisconsin, contains what she believes to be her birthdate, Sept. 9, 1956, but she says it’d be nice to have the real one in hand.

“Both my birth parents are dead,” says Hentz, who lives in Massachusetts and has changed her name legally, choosing to do away with Tracy Ann DeMeyer, the name given to her by her adoptive parents. “It’s very painful to me to not have access to it. It’s my identity, not theirs. These are old laws. People need to know who they are. It’s just unjust, barbaric.”

What’s more, there’s a potential problem with the amended birth certificate: It wasn’t issued to her until 1958, two years after her birth, which makes it look incredibly fake. Although it’s fared well all these years, when she had to stick it in the mail to get a US passport, she’d thought she’d never see it again.

The good news is, it came back, and she was able to secure a US passport in 2005, but as she sees it, there’s no reason why the real document should remain inaccessible.

Regardless, she did manage to track down her father, Earl Bland, who was Shawnee and CheroChero kee and grew up in Pana, Il. It took her nearly two decades to do so, finally meeting him by driving from Seattle to Illinois in 1994, as he was dying of emphysema.

He filled her in on how her mother, Helen ChiThrall, a French Canadian, had left him in Chi cago and went to Minnesota to give birth.

RELEASE There’s a question to be asked about the value of the emotional experiences we have, and CCA has some thoughts: Getting Real, an exhibit opening this Friday, explores catharsis, emotional trauma, and healing. A collection of photography, painting and multimedia art from nine artists and collectives transforms the gallery into a space of comfort that viewers are welcomed to experience in a genuinely emotional way. “It’s going to really push the boundaries of contemporary art and how we think about it and look at it,” says Angie Rizzo, acting visual arts curator at CCA. This is Rizzo’s last project before a new chief curator takes over, and it runs until April 17. (ADV)

“The theme for me is a familiar one, with ‘space’ music and growing up in the early days of the space race in the ’60s,” Loop says of his particular contributions. “We’re all cosmonauts at heart and the alien thing—we’re all Earth aliens, as I see it, and this is a great opportunity to utilize the IAIA Dome.”

So there you have it, X-Files fans and general weirdos who never got over the alien thing, CelloCosmos sounds to be one of the strangest yet magical events around. Do note that seating will be limited for this unique show, so maybe you want to get on that? Either way, we’re excited to see what else the Dome has in store and look forward to this dazzling new art conveyance.

The First Folio exhibit at the New Mexico Museum of Art is opened to a particular passage: Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” soliloquy. This inspired St. John’s College senior Billy Trabaudo to direct a production of Hamlet, featuring a cast of professional Shakespeare actors from across the country.

His modest yet cutting interpretation, which shows this Friday and Saturday, draws analogies between Renaissance royalty and modern forms of aristocracy, and is one of the few full productions of Shakespeare this month. “This really gives St. John’s an opportunity to bring the community on campus to celebrate the First Folio,” Trabaudo says. (Cole Rehbein) Hamlet: 2 pm Sunday, Feb. 21. $20. St. John’s College, 1160 Camino de Cruz Blanca, 984-6000

LECTURES FAR AND AWAY If there was ever a good reason to travel, it’d be to tell all your friends and neighbors about your experience. Back in the old days, there was a lecture circuit for people who traveled and explored. All you needed to do was strap on a rucksack and write about what happened. Well, you can enlighten yourself and vicariously travel to Vietnam jungles and caves through the eyes of Helga Schimkat and Greg Reid. The pair even visited a golden-cheeked gibbon rescue facility. “They’re helping to preserve the species through rescue, rehab and release.

They are really on the right side of doing the job, and very scientifically based.” (Ben Kendall)

The newly minted Digital Dome at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) follows in the footsteps of the oft-derided planetarium laser light show, but with a far more artistically and aesthetically varied purpose and potential. The concave viewing apparatus also boasts the uniquely immersive ability to move 90 degrees and into differing positions, a feat that no other similar piece of technology can achieve anywhere else in the world. But how to celebrate such a stunning accomplishment? How to properly christen this bad boy? With CelloCosmos: Alien Concerto: Close Approach, an original musical/visual collaboration between electronics artist Dwight Loop and cellist Michael Kott.

Through the use of pre-programmed electronic compositions and the boundless electric cello, Loop and Kott will perform the story of an interstellar being—represented by the cello—on an intergalactic space mission spanning 200 years. The audience will assume a sort of flight simulator point of view and experience the discovery of a new planet, alongside an appropriately

Now We’re Cooking

Cook is even in the process of developing a program called New Horizons, which will provide a means for older folks who maybe let their musicianship wane to get back into playing with other people.

And if that wasn’t enough, The Candyman provides charitable donations in the form of lessons, instrument donations and gift cards for charity raffles, and moreover, it houses an entire music education center and provides plenty of other nontraditional musical opportunities. All while fighting valiantly

The Candyman’s Cindy Cook is working hard for you, Santa Fe

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

O

PETER SILLS

n Feb. 10, Candyman Strings & Things announced that its co-owner and director of education and marketing, Cindy Cook, had been elected to the board of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) for a three-year term.

It’s a pretty big effing deal, too, as NAMM is basically the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences of the music retail industry (minus the racism), and the small board only brings on the best of the best.

“From what I understand, something like 80 or 90 people are nominated every year,” Cook says. “I feel so honored to have made the cut.”

It’s a wise move on NAMM’s part, as the Cooks and their crew down at The Candyman hold the record for most awards from the organization, including Dealer of the Year and the Music Makes a Difference Award. For her part, Cindy has been plugging away nonstop for the good of our community since she and husband Rand took over the shop in 2009.

She was instrumental (boom) in the foundation of The Candyman’s Rock School and Rock Camp programs, which provide Santa Fe youths with training in how to rock hard and also come with more subtle benefits such as the building of confidence, keeping the dang kids off the dang streets and putting more musicians out in the world which, believe it or not, is actually a very good thing.

Now available only at

against the music retailer’s greatest enemy: online shopping.

“We are aware of our position in the community, but the one thing that seems to be truly detrimental is the Internet,” Cook says. “As such, we’re completely redoing our website, because the last one just wasn’t reflective of who we are, and it didn’t do the community justice; the new one will be sleek and have lots of services for locals.”

In addition to showcasing a mere fraction of the shop’s inventory—there’s no way for a mom-and-pop store to have a website like Guitar Center’s, but that’s not their plan. Cook envisions networking possibilipossibili ties; a means for those who’ve had an instrument stolen to quickly get information to police, pawn shops and the community at large; and the potential for free local delivery for items bought online.

But how does Cook’s appointment to the NAMM board affect our local music scene, Santa Fe? “For one thing, I’ll be serving alongside people from big brands like Fender or Steinway or ZildjiZildji an, and building personal relationships with giants like these could certainly translate into how we do business,” she says. “NAMM also has so many great resources like publications or this online video secsec tion called NAMM U, which allows us to learn about new products or educational opportuniopportuni ties. … Obviously, we want our spending and tax dollars to stay right here, and part of that is educating the public on why it’s important to shop local and buy from people who can help the consumer find the right instruinstru ment, yes, but also how to care for it after the purchase, how to tune and tweak it and make it the kind of inin strument that can stay in a family for generations.”

Cook intends on pushing for a subsidized means of health insurance for music retailer staff and working to ensure music education becomes a part of daily school life for kids on a national level.

“Kids are kind of in a battle zone every day and have so much to deal with, and we have to do more for them,” she says. “Everyone is imporimpor tant to us, but we have to put that efef fort out there for young people.”

Shifty Lawyers Aren’t Just for Albuquerque Better Call Saul gets local

W

B Y P E T E R S T. C Y R

PETER ST. CYR

hile real-life New Mexicans scramble to find jobs in the state with the highest unemployment rate in the nation, it appears that “Slippin” Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) is headed to work at Davis and Mane—a fictional law firm in Santa Fe—for the second season of Better Call Saul.

Fans of the show got a hint about Santa Fe’s role in the AMC Network’s hit program last April when McGill decided to head back west for an interview with the firm’s power player Clifford Mane (Ed Begley Jr.), after a weeklong hustling bender in Cicero, Il., that left his former con partner Marco (Mel Rodriguez) dead.

Show developers Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould tell SFR this season will be even darker and more convoluted than last year’s quest, but they admit neither of them have figured out how McGill will transform

Bonfiglio (above) and Hampton are the local faces for the new season of Better Call Saul. Bonfiglio even has a Zia sun symbol tattoo. That’s local as all get-out.

into shady lawyer Saul Goodman.

“We thought that Jimmy McGill would become Saul Goodman a lot faster than he actually has,” says Gould.

It’s taking longer because the show’s writers are still discovering things about McGill that they love and fans are still rooting for the underdog who knows how to talk his way out of a jam.

“We expected the journey to be a straight line, but it turns out to have a lot more twists and turns than we ever expected,” says Gould.

Odenkirk tells SFR the emergence of his titular character remains a mystery even to him.

“Jimmy’s feelings of isolation and loneliness will be a big part of his character’s mutation,” says Oden-

kirk. “Jimmy has gained confidence.

He’s a lawyer now, not a criminal. He no longer needs the white-shoe law firm’s respect and realizes he’ll never get his brother’s respect. Jimmy will start to recognize the skills he has and how he can manipulate things to his own personal benefit.”

When Odenkirk isn’t rushing from scene to scene, he’s having fun helping two local actors with reoccurring speaking roles on the show.

Julian Bonfiglio, 22, who works as a waiter at Omira Grill when he’s not on set, almost missed his chance to appear on his first network program.

On the day Bonfiglio was scheduled to audition for a small speaking role, the former fashion model jumped on the wrong bus.

Fortunately, Bonfiglio had brought along his bike. He arrived for his audition just in time but completely drenched in sweat from the uphill pedal.

“It was the worst audition I ever had,” Bonfiglio says. “I totally screwed it up.”

He called Jody Black, his A&M Talent House agent, and remembers telling her he didn’t think he’d get a callback to play Sound Guy. When Bonfiglio learned he’d made the cut and was needed for a costume fitting, he was at work at Chez Mamou in Santa Fe and remembered having to decide whether to finish his shift at the French bakery and lose the part or walk away to pursue his childhood dream of acting. It didn’t take long before he removed his apron and headed out the door.

Now, when there is free time on the set, Bonfiglio says Odenkirk, a former Saturday Night Live writer

and Second City improv performer, shows him comedic falling techniques.

The money Bonfiglio is earning, along with his first royalty checks, are helping to pay off his $1,000 Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists initiation fee and pay for Dustin Hoffman’s online acting course.

One of Bonfiglio’s acting mates, Santa Fe actor Brandon K Hampton, 25, is also counting his blessings after learning that his Season 1 character, Ernesto, is coming back for Season 2.

The Texas native was first bit by the acting bug as an elementary student, when he was selected to read a school lunch menu on the air for a Houston television station. It wasn’t long before he and several friends caught a bus to Austin and landed recurring roles on Friday Night Lights.

After the show ended, Hampton says he figured his odds of getting booked as an African-American male actor in New Mexico would be pretty good. His hunch proved to be right—within just a few months of relocating here, he landed a role as an FBI agent in USA Network’s In Plain Sight with Mary McCormick, and he appeared in two episodes before the series wrapped.

When he’s not working on Better Call Saul or New Mexico independent films, Hampton has earned credits working on several big-budget films, including director Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day: Resurgence and in Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot with Tina Fey, which were both filmed in New Mexico last year.

THE CALENDAR

My new girlfriend blurted out that she had a cuckolding past with her ex-husband. She says her ex badgered her into arranging “dates” with strangers and that he picked the guys.

Her ex would then watch her having sex with a guy in a hotel room. The ex only watched and didn’t take part. I am really bothered by her past. She says she did it only because her ex pressured her into it and she wanted to save her marriage, so she agreed. But I suspect she may have enjoyed it and may have been testing me to see if I wanted to be a cuck. What should I do? I am really torn by my feelings toward her.

-Confused In NOVA You suspect she may have enjoyed fucking those other men?

I hope she enjoyed fucking those other men—and you should too, CINOVA. Because even if cuckolding wasn’t her fantasy, even if she fucked those other men only to delight her shitty ex-husband, anyone who cares about this woman—and you do care about her, right?— should hope the experiences she had with those other men weren’t overwhelmingly negative, completely traumatizing, or utterly joyless.

And, yes, people will sometimes broach the subject of their own sexual interests/fantasies using the passive voice or a negative frame because they’re afraid of rejection or they want an easy out or both. (“My ex was into this kinda extreme thing, and I did it because I felt I had to.” “That’s gross.” “Yeah, I totally hated it.”)

But cuckolding is almost always the husband’s fantasy—it’s rare for the wife to initiate cuckolding scenes/relationships—so odds are good that your girlfriend is telling you the truth about those other men being her ex-husband’s idea/ fantasy and not hers.

As for whether she’s testing you: That’s a pretty easy test to fail, CINOVA. Open your mouth and say, “Cuckolding isn’t something I would ever want to do. The thought of you with another man isn’t a turn-on for me. Not at all.”

It’s an easy F. What should you do? If you can’t let this go, if you can’t get over the sex your girlfriend had with her ex-husband and those other men, if you can’t hope she had a good time regardless of whose idea it was, if you can’t take “I’m not interested in cuckolding you!” for an answer—if you can’t do all of that—then do your girlfriend a favor and break up with her. She just got out from under a shitty husband who pressured her into “cheating.” The last thing she needs now is a shitty boyfriend who shames her for “cheating.”

My husband is Native American. I’m white.

We’ve been together 16 years, raising a couple kids. We love each other very much, so this isn’t a deal breaker. I’ve got a thing for his long black hair. He’s a drop-dead gorgeous man, and while I gave up asking that he wear leggings or a breechcloth once in a while, I wish he would grow out his hair. I’m willing to wear (and do) anything he asks. He’s somewhere to the left of Sherman Alexie when it comes to this stuff, but could you tell me why I’m so wrong? He keeps his hair short, and the one time I made enough of a fuss, he grew it out and never washed it just to spite me. A long time ago, he participated in a sun dance, and he looked incredible. So I guess that makes me a blasphemous pervert, but really? Is asking for a couple of braids really so wrong?

-Whitey McWhite Wife I forwarded your e-mail to Sherman Alexie, the award-winning poet, novelist, essayist, and filmmaker. Your question must have touched a nerve, WMW, because Alexie’s response arrived while my computer was still making that woooosh-sending-e-mail sound. Now I’m going

to step aside and let Alexie answer your question…

“What does ‘to the left of Sherman Alexie’ mean in this context? I doubt there are very many Native dudes more leftist than me! And long hair on Indian men is more conservative and more tribal, anyway—more ceremonial.

More of a peacock thing, really. And a lot of work! My Native wife certainly misses my long hair. But I don’t miss the upkeep and I don’t miss answering questions about my hair. I mean, I cut my hair 13 years ago (more than 25 percent of my life ago), and some people still ask me about it! Thirteen years! Also, Native men tend to cut their hair as they age. Long hair is generally a young Indian man’s gig, culturally speaking.

“I would venture that Native dude is tired of being romanticized, ethnocized, objectified. We Indians get enough of that shit in the outside world. Maybe this dude doesn’t want that in bed. Or maybe he just likes the way he looks with shorter hair. Because I am getting so gray, long hair would make me look like a warlock having a midlife crisis. Maybe this Indian dude is just sick of all the sociopolitical shit that comes with long hair. Maybe it kills his boner.

Talking about it has certainly killed my boner.”

Why would you call blumkins “sexist”? Are you excluding the idea that gay, bi, and trans people might participate? There are many sexual practices that are degrading. If the partner consents, how is it “sexist”? Lastly, have you considered that a heterosexual female may want a blumkin of her own? I’m a heterosexual male, and I have no idea how you could defecate and remain erect—but to each his own!

Your answer was irrational and sexist!

-The Problem Isn’t Always Sexism Go to Urban Dictionary and read every definition for “blumkin,” TPIAS. There are nine of them. We’ll wait.

While almost all of the proposed definitions—including the top one—are gendered (“Taking a nice shit while your woman is sucking your cock”), even definitions that aren’t gendered (“Getting a blowjob while taking a stinky shit”) include examples of usage that are gendered (“Anthony really enjoyed it when Christy gave him a blumkin last night”). While a gay dude could suck his man’s cock while he was taking a stinky shit, and while a trans man could go eat his cis girlfriend’s pussy while she was dropping a deuce, the whole conversation about blumkins—and since blumkins are mythical, TPIAS, the convo is all we’ve got—isn’t about consensual degrading sex play. It’s about the symbolic degradation of women.

And that’s sexist.

It’s like gerbiling: Everyone has a butthole, anyone can walk into a pet store and buy a gerbil, paper-towel tubes are everywhere. But gerbiling is always described as a gay sex act.

The fact that straight, bi, asexual, or even deceased people could theoretically have their asses gerbiled doesn’t make joking about gerbiling not homophobic. The anatomical technicality doesn’t exonerate gerbiling. Same goes for blumkins.

So my ruling is final: Joking about gerbiling is homophobic (but funny if done right), just as joking about blumkins is sexist (ditto).

It’s always a little frustrating to read columns where we hear only one side of the story.

Maybe you could solicit letters from both partners? A couple would agree in advance what the problem was and both send in a letter, but they should not read each other’s letters. Keep up the great work!

-Just An Idea I love this idea, JAI. Any game couples out there? Throuples welcome, too!

You might not know the name Niomi Fawn offhand, but if you’ve seen any of the visual arts shows at Iconik Coffee Roasters of late, you’re surely familiar with her curation style. On the horizon lies the mother/daughter collaborative photo collage show, Metamorphis, from Andrea Senutovitch de Lusignan and Alexandra Ewing, and on this page lies a brief interview with Fawn herself. Metamorphis opens Feb. 18 at Iconik Coffee Roasters (1600 Lena St., 4280996) and will run about a month. (Alex De Vore) What drew you to these artists?

Metamorphis is Andrea’s work, which is this vintage, kind of antique mashup of photo and sculpture and multimedia, and she’s taking that style and mixing it with Alexandra’s aesthetic. They collaborated on all the pieces. I’ve always been a huge fan of Andrea’s work, and I just knew that whatever came out, it would be phenomenal.

How did you know you wanted to curate events in nontraditional spaces?

I realized at some point that if I wanted to see it, I’d have to do it. I came out of the Meow Wolf lineage, that was grad school, and I loved it, but I felt there was this in-between area lacking for me as a young, queer, feminist artist. I knew I wanted to see fine art in public spaces because so many people I know, who were trying to get into galleries, didn’t feel welcome. It’s cool to go look at art, it’s so much cooler to live with it, like in a coffee shop. I don’t see any problem with an art show in a coffee shop.

What do you envision for the future of art in Santa Fe? I really wish people would stop making Santa Fe something that it’s not. It has this persona, but there’s a grime to it. Where are the brick buildings hidden just under the adobe? Show me that. There’s this whole culture happening, it’s happening right now and it’s amazing.

I want to see people who don’t have a voice given a voice. I know I’ve been lucky; maybe it’s my enthusiasm, but these people and artists, some of them giants, have gotten on board with me.

FOOD

I love you, bottled sauces, but I’m also going DIY

E

B Y R O B D e WA LT @ t h e fo r ks a n t a Fe

very mid-February, I begin to get increasingly anxious for the arrival of the National Fiery Foods & Barbecue Show, which this year runs FridaySunday, March 4-6, at Sandia Resort & Casino in Albuquerque. Hundreds of hot-sauce producers and other spicy/smoky food purveyors converge at the resort for the 27th anniversary of the event, which now boasts more than 20,000 annual attendees made up of citizen chileheads and professional tradespersons.

I have covered the show as a food writer many times and have never been disappointed by the diverse array of hot-sauce offerings, from kickyou-in-the-face scorchers that seem to bear no other purpose than to erase your stomach lining, to more nuanced sauces that put a little more emphasis on flavor rather than heat. But however much I want to attend the event this year, I am also at the mercy of an impatient, hotsauce-loving husband, whose green thumb yields more fresh hot chiles in the backyard garden than I know what to do with, before they start to go bad. Sure, we give some away, but more just seem to pop up on the vines in their place. Our solution: air-dry them for later use.

From the humble ripened red jalapeño, banana and cayenne peppers to the hotter habanero and Thai (bird’s eye) varieties, whatever we have left in the plot is placed on screens and dried in the sun and in the garage. Once dried, we jar the chiles and use them throughout the year in dishes like curries, baked goods, ice cream, slow-cooked greens and infused

oils. This year, there is no getting around my taller half’s hot-sauce request, and he’s not being subtle: The dried chiles keep showing up on the kitchen butcher block, a gentle reminder that I promised to tackle something different.

One could, of course, also make hot sauce using fresh chiles. Many popular store brands of hot sauce, especially those Louisiana-style vinegar bombs, are made using a salt-brine fermentation process that preserves and enhances chile flavor. But so does toasting dried chiles in a hot cast-iron skillet or comal for a spell. The recipe for a basic red hot sauce using dried chiles is surprisingly simple and, once finished, can be built upon to create other These ruby-hued beauties are destined for curries, ice cream or hot sauce. sauces, both sweet and savory. My multi-chile version ended up tasting like Tapatío Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In the meantime, brand sauce with a serious kick, but use heat a cast-iron skillet or comal over medium-high whatever dried chiles you choose. Just heat until very hot. In batches, place stemmed chilmake sure they are rinsed and dried well. It’s es into the hot skillet, pressing them gently with a all about trial and error, which is why decent spatula and turning just once (it literally takes secbottled sauces will always have the home cook’s onds per side). The trick here is to toast, not burn, and the chef’s respect.

Being Happy deserves more than an hour!

SAY CHEESE, OSCAR!

BY NATALIE BOV IS @TheLiquidMus e

The Super Bowl is over, and the next big competition is here: the Academy Awards! But hosting an Oscar party is not a pizza-and-chicken-wings kind of affair. From the popping flashbulbs during “pre-game” red carpet fashion interviews to the main showdown of Best Actors, Screenplays and Films, festivities kick off with star-quality nibbles and sips. A humdrum cheese plate is de rigueur at fancy whoop-de-dos, but have you thought about a rewriting that tired script by serving a cheese-and-spirit pairing? I’ve done the (delicious) research for you and have a few suggestions. The cheese is ready for its closeup, Mr. DeMille!

Join us for Red Sage Happy Hour specials daily from 3PM-6PM

To eat, or not to eat the rind? That is the question! Check to see if there is plastic or cloth on the rind. If it is embalmed in herbs, or other tasty things, it is likely meant to be eaten.

for more info visit: redsage-sf.com

Appetizer or after-dinner? Most Europeans eat cheese after the main meal, before dessert. The less-Americanized ones will sneer if presented Anywith cheese at aperitif. However, in the US, we love cheese. Anytime. Any where.

Keep it cool? The refrigerator is where fine cheese goes to die. Keep it in a dark, temperate spot in your kitchen, away from direct sunlight.

CHEESE TASTING TIPS: Smell, then sip the spirit (cleanse the palate).

Smell, then bite the cheese.

Taste cheese on a little fork, or very bland bread, so other flavors don’t interfere.

KOLACH OF THE DAY

Vodka: The clean taste of a quality vodka cuts through the fat of a luscious double-cream brie. Just as with wine-and-food pairings, focus on finding similarities or opposites to balance flavors and textures.

Whiskey: Our local Taos Lightning Rye is great with a hard cheese, like Parmesan or cheddar. Thanks to an interview with Barrie Lynn (find her online tips at The Cheese Impresario), I tried Sartori’s BellaVintano, with an espresso-rubbed rind, with our local hooch and loved it.

Sartori (from Wisconsin) is available at Smith’s and Whole Foods.

Rum: A barrel-aged rum has a beautiful nuttiness that is enhanced by a Parmesan or white cheddar. Add apple slices—or even fresh pineapple—to play up its fruity qualities.

EGGS BENEDICT VANILLA BEAN WAFFLES

SPIRIT PAIRING IDEAS:

Mezcal: The crisp, “green” agave notes and slightly lingering smoke of the Del Maguey line of mezcals create a wonderful contrast with a mild, creamy blue. I tried a few spirits with the Fromager d’Affinois St. Géric, and the mezcal was by far the best. The cheese is made in France but available at Whole Foods.

Gin: Santa Fe Spirits Wheeler Gin’s botanicals (such as juniper, osha root and sage) play nicely with goat cheese, in particular. Head down to our local Cheesemongers of Santa Fe to see what they have available, and let the games begin!

BOO! DID THAT WORK? The only thing scary about this movie is the time wasted watching it

BY BEN KENDALL culture@sfreporter.com

With focused attention on historical accuracy and A-game production values, it’d be hard not to hit The Witch out of the park. Unfortunately, the care that was given to the aforementioned aspects of the film was not paid to the writing—at least, not in the way of structure or plot.

Director Robert Eggers reportedly visited museums for four years to better understand and bring life to the subject. It shows in everything the audience lays eyes on, with period dress, architecture and dialogue all outstandingly crafted with a loving touch that brings the time in which the story takes place to life.

The Witch is a 17th-century puritanical folktale wherein the protagonist

was excellent. And here, the writing was uncomfortably deep, as her blossoming womanhood is a temptation for her younger brother on the cusp of puberty. And while this is unsettling, it does reasonably set up her story arc towards the middle of the second act.

Kate Dickie as the mother had outstanding moments being driven to grief-stricken madness.

This is supposed to be a horror movie. What is built up in the first two acts of the film fails to resolve in any way.

The soundtrack is utilized to say, “Hey, there’s something scary about to happen,” and then something only mildly untoward occurs 20 minutes later.

Before that, you have to wait through pseudo-religious exposition and puritanical farming techniques. This film really reached for the stars, and it’s hard to chastise the filmmakers, who so carefully constructed a visually striking and well-researched project. But films at their core are meant to tell a story—meant to connect with the audience—and in the context of a horror film, scare the hell out of them. The Witch does none of these things.

THE WITCH Directed by Robert Eggers With Taylor-Joy, Ineson, Dickie Violet Crown, Regal R, 90 min.

SCREENER

yay!

family’s patriarch William (wonderfully performed by Ralph Ineson) is banished from the village for nigh-heretical religious beliefs. It must be said that William’s religious beliefs don’t seem to be outside what the common theatergoer would construe as “not puritanical.” But apparently, William just wasn’t the town’s brand of Christian and was thrown out to the woods because of it. The family then moves to the outskirts of a forest and tries to scrape a meager living out of the land.

Then, all hell breaks loose after the mysterious disappearance of their baby at the edge of the tree line. Or rather, it insidiously crawls its way into their lives, sowing the seeds of paranoia and psychological terror. Well, that’s what it says on the tin.

What really happens is a plodding slog of a movie bereft of theme or bearable pace. Calling The Witch a slowburn isn’t as close to the mark as saying it is “glacially painful.” The point of view switches so often that you’re not given enough time with the character to form any kind of attachment, were that attachment possible. And it isn’t.

It seems that every character’s motivations are so steeped in religion that forming a connection with a largely secular audience is a difficult task at best.

However, the performances are absolutely stellar. Anna Taylor-Joy’s depiction as the oldest child, Thomasin,

DEADPOOL

When two major studios announced they were working on a Deadpool feature film, it was hard to imagine how 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios were going to accomplish bringing a lesser-known cult-status character into motion picture territory. How could they possibly create a film with a lead who frequently breaks the fourth wall, who may be aware that he’s a fictional person (possibly pan-sexual), and whose wisecracking has the same lowbrow comedic resonance as it does in the comic series?

Against all odds, it seems that this herculean task of mainstream cinema was completed marginally well, especially considering the current precedent regarding the glut of the nostalgia-driven licensing nightmares the US studio system is fond of churning out these days.

It’s important to touch upon the meta aspects of this character, since in a way, that’s the whole basis of his motivations.

Self-referential and turgid with pop-culture call-backs, with even subtle jibes from almost all the film’s characters at the thin plot, the movie is a snide and sophomoric attempt at the superhero genre. But for some reason, that’s its charm. It’s as if a couple of young guys who loved comics wrote a movie starring one of their favorite characters, and the studio, somehow being cognizant of the source material and target audience, just let it all happen. The opening credits even lam-

poon the Hollywood system, declaring that it was directed by “an overpaid tool” and produced by “asshats.” Bundle up, because it might just be a cold day in hell.

Well shot, with an excellent soundtrack that turns up the absurdity of the situations the protagonist finds himself in to 11, the film is technically well contructed. An excellent decision was made on the part of filmmakers to mildly animate Deadpool’s eyes in the mask to better convey emotion. There’s precedent for this regarding the art style in comics for characters with full-face coverings.

A former Special Forces soldier, Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), is a leg-breaker for hire who contracts cancer after falling in love with the classic “hooker with a heart of gold.” He is offered a way out: undergo extreme stress combined with chemical cajoling to activate dormant mutant genes in his DNA and, hopefully, evade cancer and death. All is not as it seems, and when the transformation occurs, everything goes south. Ed Skrein turns in a functional performance as Ajax, a British villain. And hey, there’s MMA fighter Gina Carano as the evil super-muscle, Angel Dust. End of plot explanation. It’s not really all that important, and it seems like everyone knows it. There’s even a line in the film that goes something like, “You should talk to that guy.

It may deepen the plot.”

The ultra-violence wasn’t distasteful,

since it was so over the top and typically used as a comedic device. It hits home, somehow. This movie is sort of a miraclemile in filmmaking. It shouldn’t work—it shouldn’t be entertaining, but it is. It’s dumb fun, with an ironic patina of intelligence that quickly wears away after mere moments.

Deadpool, much like your socially inappropriate and yet (against your better judgment) still hilarious uncle, isn’t for everybody. If you’re a guy 18-35, you may like it. If you like meta satire on the Hollywood system, comic book movies, pop culture and ham-handed witticisms, it might just be for you. It’s chock full of full-frontal nudity for both genders, F-bombs and dismemberment, with a surface level of snappy dialogue that’s reminiscent of Kevin Smith’s Jersey Trilogy (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy). If that’s your cup of tea, then go for it. (BK) Regal, R, 108 min.

KUNG FU PANDA 3

The CGI animated film has practically become old hat at this point, with countless productions from Pixar, DreamWorks, Fox, etc. over the years and no shortage of vehicles looming on the horizon. No one is complaining per se, but it does become harder to tell them apart or even care after the bazillionth movie that looks into the unseen lives of animals or sickeningly cute children or yet another anthropomorphized paean to genres that kids these days (oh, kids these days) surely know nothing about.

MOVIES

ok Deadpool was actually better than it should have been.

Case in point: Kung Fu Panda 3, another unnecessary installment in the long-running tale of Po (voice of Jack Black), a silly man-child of a panda who was orphaned as a cub and left to believe he’s the last of his kind before learning that, despite his inability to grow up, he was actually the fabled dragon warrior all along—a kung fu master prophesied to be the great protector of the people.

When last we heard from Po and his pals, they’d defeated the vile peacock Shen, and everything was gonna be great forever. Not so, because while everyone was busy celebrating and eating dumplings and being best friends, some seriously crazy business was going down in the spirit world. Turns out that Master Oogway, who’s a turtle and the guy who told Po he was the dragon warrior, has been locked in a 500-year battle with a former comrade named Kai (JK Simmons) who is, like, a wildebeest or something. Kai’s been stealing the chi of all the spirit world’s kung fu masters and is hell-bent on returning to the mortal world to … hmmmm.

Actually, it’s pretty unclear beyond he just wants to get back to the mortal world and eff up everyone’s lives because he’s evil and stuff. This just happens to coincide with Po’s father (Bryan Cranston, who nails it) turning up and the revelation that pandas aren’t extinct after all. Mild jokes and action ensues, and exactly what you think might happen does happen. Hooray.

Po’s antics grow tiresome the more we follow them—even for kids, believe me—and the background players have zero presence or point beyond the advancement of Po’s journey. For example, Kate Hudson (who seems to be trying her best to emulate Amy Schumer), as the ribbondancing Mei Mei, is so boring and pointless that had the character not existed, it wouldn’t have mattered at all. Of course, the entire film is rendered so beautifully and in such stunning detail that its shortcomings are basically canceled out in a haze of lovingly crafted kung fu glory, and we’re left with a perfectly fine way to kill 90-ish minutes. Take your kids, I guess, but don’t expect anything you haven’t already seen about 1,000 times by now. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG, 95 min.

THE REVENANT

Whereas there are any number of standout western films that occupy the pantheon of filmmaking, there has been an almost unnoticeable resurgence in postmodern, cerebral storytelling within the genre over the past two decades.

Films like Unforgiven, True Grit or even Ravenous took the stripped-down good guy rides horse to the showdown with bad guy trope and replaced it with concepts like obsession, racism, revenge,

murder and intrigue that play out in the untapped frontier of a burgeoning nation in fascinating ways.

Director Alejandro González Iñárritu—the man behind 2014’s brilliant Birdman—tackles these ideas in the new Leonardo DiCaprio-driven western, The Revenant. Set in 1800-something, DiCaprio plays Hugh Glass, a homesteader/survivalist type who, in an American melting pot of violence and tense race relations, lives between conflicting planes of existence. We know little of Glass’ past other than he fathered a son with a Native American woman who was killed during the war. This death continues to haunt Glass some years later as he assists a hunting party from the Rocky Mountain Fur Company during a harsh winter on the wild and wooly American frontier.

Based on true events (Glass really did exist, y’all), the men must contend with the elements as well as a pursuing sortie of Native warriors hellbent on finding the kidnapped daughter of their leader. During the expedition, Glass is brutally mauled by a grizzly bear and ultimately left for dead by the villain of the piece, John Fitzgerald, a gutless wonder of self-absorption and greed who also murders Glass’s son right before him.

It is intense, a twisted sort of love letter to a father’s love for his son. The constant solitude and indifference found in the vast unsettled expanses are crushing, and cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (Gravity, Children of Men) captures the bleak cold and hopelessness in such stunning detail that one can almost feel the frozen expanses looming ever closer; the closing darkness suffocating; the brisk winds clawing from all sides; the perils that lurk behind every tree and over every distant hill.

DiCaprio gives the performance of his career as a man who rarely speaks but can still convey more than his fair share of hurt. Even in something as simple as the vocalization of pain, he conveys a labored sense of life to which he clings only to achieve his goal.

The Revenant takes its time and forces us to confront its violence in almost uncomfortable ways, but this is actually refreshing. No scene or exchange seems unnecessary. Every last moment is riveting, and as far as the po-mo western is concerned, it sets a new standard in terms of the assumption that audiences can be intelligent and truly savor a slow burn. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 156 min.

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Turns out the only thing Star Wars really needed was less George Lucas, and JJ Abrams has cobbled together an exciting mélange of the old and the new into a tight and action-packed story. The

MOVIES

ok We think this bad guy is a water buffalo in Kung Fu Panda 3.

Empire, as we all know from Return of the Jedi, is no more, but a new shady and evil sect has risen in their place. The First Order is basically the same thing—maybe a little more Nazi-like—right down to the storm troopers, the mysterious and monstrous puppet master who pulls the strings from his throne and is like, I dunno, royalty or something, maybe, and the masked super-villain, Kylo Ren, who is so totally evil, but maybe there’s something about his past we don’t know yet that might explain why, and we’ll just have to be patient and find out.

We shan’t delve into further details so as to not spoil it for those who haven’t been yet, but suffice it to say that some serious shit goes down. The true genius of Abrams’ vision is in the mirroring of certain aspects from the original trilogy while constantly expanding the details in satisfying ways.

of fan service via cameos, blink-and-miss-it background moments and the use of CGI as enhancement rather than focus, The Force Awakens solidifies itself in the canon while blasting its way into a league of its own. For every harrowing dogfight in space or samurai-esque light saber duel, there is a tantalizing emotional thread to follow or legitimately funny exchange to enjoy; for every gaspinducing reveal or unbelievable plot twist, there is a beautiful vista or solid performance.

Of course, this is only the first chapter of a trilogy, so questions remain, but the heart-wrenching final moments provide a satisfying conclusion while leaving the door wide open to take the story in any direction its caretakers desire. Longtime fans and initiates will find more than enough to love here, and no matter where you fall on the Star Wars love spectrum, one thing’s for sure—the next chapter can’t come soon enough.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of February 17th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “Old paint on a canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent,” said playwright Lillian Hellman. “When that happens, it is possible to see the original lines: a tree will show through a woman’s dress, a child makes way for a dog, a large boat is no longer on an open sea.” Why does this happen?

Because the painter changed his or her mind. Early images were replaced, painted over. I suspect that a metaphorical version of this is underway in your life.

Certain choices you made in the past got supplanted by choices you made later. They disappeared from view.

But now those older possibilities are re-emerging for your consideration. I’m not saying what you should do about them. I simply want to alert you to their ghostly presence so they don’t cause confusion.

time to gather information about riddles and mysteries that have perplexed you for a long time. Be super-receptive and extra wide-eyed!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Let’s talk about your mouth.

Since your words flow out of it, you use it to create and shape a lot of your experiences. Your mouth is also the place where food and drink enter your body, as well as some of the air you breathe. So it’s crucial to fueling every move you make. You experience the beloved sense of taste in your mouth. You use your mouth for kissing and other amorous activities. With its help, you sing, moan, shout, and laugh. It’s quite expressive, too. As you move its many muscles, you send out an array of emotional signals. I’ve provided this summary in the hope of inspiring you to celebrate your mouth, Taurus. It’s prime time to enhance your appreciation of its blessings!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Russian writer Ivan Turgenev was a Scorpio. Midway through his first novel Rudin, his main character Dmitrii Nikolaevich Rudin alludes to a problem that affects many Scorpios. “Do you see that apple tree?” Rudin asks a woman companion. “It is broken by the weight and abundance of its own fruit.” Ouch! I want very much for you Scorpios to be spared a fate like that in the coming weeks. That’s why I propose that you scheme about how you will express the immense creativity that will be welling up in you.

Don’t let your lush and succulent output go to waste.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Poet Barbara Hamby says the Russian word ostyt can be used to describe “a cup of tea that is too hot, but after you walk to the next room, and return, it is too cool.” A little birdie told me that this may be an apt metaphor for a current situation in your life. I completely understand if you wish the tea had lost less of its original warmth, and was exactly the temperature you like, neither burning nor tepid. But that won’t happen unless you try to reheat it, which would change the taste. So what should you do? One way or the other, a compromise will be necessary. Do you want the lukewarm tea or the hot tea with a different flavor?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Asking you Sagittarians to be patient may be akin to ordering a bonfire to burn more politely. But it’s my duty to inform you GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Coloring books for adults are of the cosmic tendencies, so I will request your forbearbest-sellers. Tightly-wound folks relieve their stress by ance for now. How about some nuances to make it more using crayons and markers to brighten up black-andpalatable? Here’s a quote from author David G. Allen: white drawings of butterflies, flowers, mandalas, and “Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen pretty fishes. I highly recommend that you avoid this type in a different order than the one you have in mind.” of recreation in the next three weeks, as it would send the Novelist Gustave Flaubert: “Talent is a long patience.” wrong message to your subconscious mind. You should French playwright Moliere: “Trees that are slow to grow expend as little energy as possible working within frame- bear the best fruit.” Writer Ann Lamott: “Hope is a revolutionary patience.” I’ve saved the best for last, from works that others have made. You need to focus on Russian novelist Irène Némirovsky: “Waiting is erotic.” designing and constructing your own frameworks.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The Old Testament book of Leviticus presents a long list of forbidden activities, and declares that anyone who commits them should be punished. You’re not supposed to get tattoos, have messy hair, consult oracles, work on Sunday, wear clothes that blend wool and linen, plant different seeds in the same field, or eat snails, prawns, pigs, and crabs. (It’s OK to buy slaves, though.) We laugh at how absurd it would be for us to obey these outdated rules and prohibitions, and yet many of us retain a superstitious loyalty toward guidelines and beliefs that are almost equally obsolete.

Here’s the good news, Cancerian: Now is an excellent time to dismantle or purge your own fossilized formulas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “If you ask for help it comes, but not in any way you’d ever know.” Poet Gary Snyder said that, and now I’m passing it on to you, Capricorn. The coming weeks will be an excellent time for you to think deeply about the precise kinds of help you would most benefit from—even as you loosen up your expectations about how your requests for aid might be fulfilled. Be aggressive in seeking assistance, but ready and willing to be surprised as it arrives.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) For a limited time only, 153 is your lucky number. Mauve and olive are your colors of destiny, the platypus is your power animal, and torn burlap mended with silk thread is your magic texture. I realize that all of this may sound odd, but it’s the LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “I would not talk so much about straight-up truth. The nature of the cosmic rhythms are myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well,” rather erratic right now. To be in maximum alignment said the philosopher and naturalist Henry David with the irregular opportunities that are headed your Thoreau. In accordance with your astrological constitu- way, you should probably make yourself magnificently tion, Leo, I authorize you to use this declaration as your mysterious, even to yourself. To quote an old teacher, own almost any time you feel like it. But I do suggest this might be a good time to be “so unpredictable that that you make an exception to the rule during the next not even you yourself knows what’s going to happen.” four weeks. In my opinion, it will be time to focus on PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In the long-running TV increasing your understanding of the people you care show M*A*S*H*, the character known as Sidney about—even if that effort takes time and energy away Freedman was a psychiatrist who did his best to nurture from your quest for ultimate self-knowledge. Don’t the mental health of the soldiers in his care. He someworry: You can return to emphasizing Thoreau’s pertimes departed from conventional therapeutic approachspective by the equinox. es. In the series finale, he delivered the following speech, VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You are entering the inquisitive phase of your astrological cycle. One of the best ways to thrive during the coming weeks will be to ask more questions than you have asked since you were five years old. Curiosity and good listening skills will be superpowers that you should you strive to activate. For now, what matters most is not what you already know but rather what you need to find out. It’s a favorable

which I believe is highly pertinent to your current quest for good mental hygiene: “I told you people something a long time ago, and it’s just as pertinent today as it was then. Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice: Pull down your pants and slide on the ice.”

BE MY FUR-EVER FRIEND! HORST is shy when first introduced to a new home, but once settled he is a gentle and loving cat who likes to sleep with his human. He gets along with other gentle cats. His ideal home would be with a non-smoking adult who is home more than not.

HORST is a handsome Turkish Angora mix boy with a long black coat. Born approx. 9/17/13.

CALL FELINES & FRIENDS AT 316-2281 RUDY was rescued with his two brothers by a kind person who could not keep them. The boys were transferred to Felines & Friends to further socialize and find forever homes. They are still a bit shy, but very playful, and are starting to enjoy affection and attention from their foster dad. All need to be in a home with a sibling or another kitten or active young cat to play with. Born approx. 10/26/15
