NEWS, JULY 19: “THE STATE OF THE FOREST”
ZOINKS, SCOOB A few years ago in December I was with some friends and we were harvesting
Christmas trees from one of the approved areas on the Las Vegas side of the mountain. ... We passed through a lot of clear-cut forest. Coming back with our two permitted trees, we were stopped by unfriendly armed forest service (rangers?) for the purpose of checking our permits. Unfriendly means they pulled into the center of the gravel road blocking our way forward, and told us not to get out of our vehicle. We showed them our permits, and they inspected the back of the truck. They got a little less persnickety when the two dogs in the back of our truck growled and bared their teeth. I went away with the feeling the ranger dudes were there more to protect private logging interests than to serve the public.

HECK OF A JOB The Forest Service has come a long way since the first Forest Plan was put out. Their interest in returning low-severity fire to large areas of our national forest is excellent and overdue. We’ll see if the Trump team slashes their budget and puts a stop to this work, endangering communities. The Forest Service also needs to begin to phase out cattle grazing on our national forest as cattle are extremely destructive to watersheds, plant communities and they fill our public lands with feces and flies. Buyouts of allotments would do this job, but Congress must approve. Finally, it’s great to see the Forest Service working so well with the National Park Service who manages the Valles Caldera and Bandelier.

LETTERS, JUNE 28: “LOCAL GADFLIES”
COVER, JULY 19:
BE NICE, DUDE
“A MORAL CHOICE”
I am troubled by Jonathan Hayden’s letter on several counts. First, in mocking various critics of the Forest Service, he fails to explicitly identify himself as an employee of that agency, which he is. Second, that he would publicly mock not only these two individuals’ letters to the Reporter, but also their input at official Forest Service meetings, is a gross failure of professionalism. Third, his letter is pure ad hominem attack, with absolutely no substantive rebuttal. Finally, to imply that the Forest Service operates according to “scientific consensus and historical fact,” as he does, is pure joke. In truth, it operates according to political and economic influence, as does the BLM, the EPA, and every other federal and state agency in this nation. Were it actually operating according to the science, it would, for instance, have ended the ecological scourge of below-cost public lands cattle grazing in the American West many decades ago. Similarly, dwarf mistletoe “management,” tree “thinning” in lieu of natural fire, and countless other ecologically unfounded practices on this and so many other of our national forests.
THANKS DOC Thank you, Dr. Boyd, for your interview and your mention of the National Organization for Women and other organizations providing support to women. Most of all, thank you for your endless strength in providing abortions. Women need to know they have control of their bodies. We will continue to support women’s reproductive and sexual healthcare.

Based on the best available parents for the growth uv itz Soul in the next lifetime. We choose our parents, for this reason. At anytime during the woman’s pregnancy the being may choose to not “come in” for itz own reasons. It then “signals” the pregnant lady to abort.

ou hold in your hot little hands the latest and greatest iteration of SFR’s annual Best of Santa Fe issue— a veritable treasure trove of beloved local people, places, things and icons. Congrats to you, dear readers, for making your choices and skyrocketing the winners found herein into places of fame. But for real, though, you seen that cover art? It’s gorgeous and comes to us directly from the mind of one Nico Salazar, the founder of clothing/lifestyle line Future Fantasy Delight, a consummate Meow Wolfer and a native Santa Fean who told us the comission gig
was “a dream come true.” Salazar was born here, but after his father joined the military he spent time in Hawaii and Southern California, where he would hone his animemeets-pop-art signature style. He returned to Santa Fe in ’97, where he excels at working in regional detials. “It was challenging because I wanted to do something really cool, but not super over-thetop—like, if you lived here, you’d recognize it but you don’t have to live here,” Salazar says of the piece. “I tried to use food since everyone loves food here, but it’s ... not one culture; it comes from different cultures and everyone can enjoy it because it’s not superspecific.”
Salazar says the future holds potential sculpting gigs, a vinyl toy collaboration with a German builder and commission work for private collectors. So read on, knowing you’ve helped choose the very best of Santa Fe, and warm your heart knowing you’ve supported local art.

THE VERY BEST-ISH OF SANTA FE W
e take the Best of Santa Fe poll very seriously. So, when the dust clears from the vote tabulation, we take the time to point out some details about life in Santa Fe that don’t make the contest. And that we maybe are not that serious about. SFR’s editorial staff combs the county to deliver these highlights (and lowlights) of what and who is happening since the last time the earth circled the sun. It’s been quite a year. You won’t find any references to the Drumpf or the governor. We’re all so tired of making fun of them—but in case you missed Santa Fe’s mayor portrayed by our art director as an angel this year, you can see a recap
on page 53. We’re also proud to point out some hardworking Santa Feans who don’t quite get the credit they deserve, like on page 51 where you can read about the tireless manager of the Violet Crown, who we have actually seen wiping down tables and serving popcorn like a boss! Our food and drinks coverage are our mostread features, and we’re already working on the October release of our annual Restaurant Guide, but we’ve thrown a few things in a reusable shopping bag here to tide you over until dinner. Eat breakfast with a peacock and slather your burger with too many sauces per our suggestions about what to eat n’ sip starting on page 65. We raise our Walter White Margarita to you and to these, the very best ... ish.

THE VERY BEST-ISH OF SANTA FE
PEOPLE stylish Santa Fean who will make you drool over her turquoise and wardrobe in general Zoila Cleaver Santa Fe style gets a bad, clichéd rap—think glittery cowboy boots and clashing Pendleton patterns. But really, our city is a hotbed of beautiful textiles and authentic jewelry and has some flabbergastingly fashionable octogenarians, as well as some younger high-desert citizens who most certainly know what is up. A prime example of Santa Fe fashion gone oh-so-right: Zoila Cleaver. Seeing Cleaver is kind of like seeing a unicorn. She wears Navajo pearls and broom skirts in a way that’s not even a little bit reminiscent of overplayed Western ads. You kind of wonder where her magic comes from. And, to top off her awesomeness, she works at Shiprock Santa Fe (53 Old Santa Fe Trail, 982-8478), a church for lovers of a minimal Southwestern aesthetic. And somehow, even amongst troves of vintage turquoise, Cleaver’s fabulousness stands out. The one thing in her closet she couldn’t live without? “My collection of Native American and Mexican jewelry,” she tells SFR. This fashionable gal gets it (partially) from her mama, whom Cleaver says is her style icon. “She has always been incredibly creative and adventurous and not willing to follow any sort of trends,” she says. Barbara Cleaver is an Indigenous textile expert who recently lectured about Frida Kahlo’s wardrobe in conjunction with the Mirror, Mirror exhibit at the Museum of Spanish Colonial Arts. This (along with spending part of her upbringing in Oaxaca “looking at antiques and tracking down rare textiles”) may explain Zoila’s effortless eclectic elegance. Thanks for being so inspiring with your clothing choices, Zoila—we want to be just like you when we grow up. (Maria Egolf-Romero)

tireless woman who started a local record label Eliza Lutz of Matron Records matronrecords.com
Running a music label isn’t what it used to be. While owners in ye olden days may have concentrated on selling the music, independent labels today function more as hype machines for artists, doing graphic design, online promotion and partnering with local businesses for branded content. Eliza Lutz’s Matron Records, which she started about a year and a half ago after quitting her job at a coffee shop, has signed on local bands that were already fairly self-sufficient but could have used a, well, matron to help them tie it all together. She says the smallness of Santa Fe creates some unique challenges but also allows for a tighter-knit scene that avoids the genre subdivisions you see in larger cities. Three Matron bands—Chicharra, Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand and PSIRENS—have albums coming out in the next few months, so be on the lookout. (Aaron Cantú)
superhero who appears whenever you need him, like when you get caught onstage without pants Michael Blake Oldham, technical director, Santa Fe Playhouse 142 E De Vargas St., 988-4262
Dig, if you will, the picture: You are an actor in a community theater production. As is scripted, you come onstage for a performance in your underwear. Your pants are supposed to be pre-set on a bed onstage. Halfway through the first scene, you realize there are no pants. They were forgotten. You remain pantsless as the play progresses. There’s no easy way to get offstage any time soon. What do you do? If you are at the Santa Fe Playhouse, all you need to do is peek into the wings. Technical Director Michael Blake Oldham, while running the lights, will have seen the error, descended the ladder from the tech booth, sprinted through the lobby, run around the outside of the theater, come in the backstage door, found the pants, crept behind the set, and will be waiting slightly offstage for you, khakis in hand. Make it look natural when you dip into the wings, take the pants, continue your show—and Oldham will return to the booth in time for the next light cue. This is an actual thing that happened, and only one thing in an endless string of actual things that happen when Oldham is in the Playhouse. An actor, a musician and a backstage jack-of-all-trades, Oldham memorizes every last detail of a production, and has an impeccable ability to make things right on the fly. From building sets to conducting firearms safety training to just being a damn nice guy, Oldham is just the kind of behindthe-scenes superhero that every theater needs. (Charlotte Jusinski)

local guy who cuts sick hairs and also you can talk to him about punk rock and girls and stuff Collin Lee Scott at Wild Hare Salon 418 Montezuma Ave., 988-1925
The situation was bleak and time was running out: My hair looked dumb. Dumber than usual, anyway. But what to do last-minute? How would I proceed? Luck, my friends, was on my side that day, and Wild Hare Salon’s Collin Lee Scott came to my rescue. “I can squeeze you in,” he said via Facebook messenger in reply to my “Please, God, someone cut my hairs!” post. And later that day, I was in his chair. Scott embodies this ethereal combination of ultrapleasant presence and skilled hair-handler; the shampoo experience was fantastic, the coif was perfect, he can trim a beard with precision (much harder to do than you’d think) and, almost best of all, he has killer music taste and is wise in the ways of the world. In fact, you’ve probably seen Scott at countless local shows, from the bigger venues to the DIY storage-unit spaces, supporting the scene and absorbing all he can. That’s serious effort and commendable all on its own, but the bonus here is that he’s also kicking out sick ‘dos ($40-60 for men and $50-75 for women) and bringing those killer conversation skills. Make an appointment immediately, those in need. You won’t regret it. (Alex De Vore)
movie theater manager Peter Grendle at Violet Crown Cinema 1606 Alcaldesa St., 216-5678
Drinking beer is good. So is watching movies on a large screen. So is eating. All of them combined make for a pleasantly hedonistic experience you can enjoy just by wandering on over to Violet Crown Cinema in the Railyard. The theater services a wide range of clientele, and manager Peter Grendle says his staff goes out of its way to make it so. For example, he offers the theater for free to schools that want to bring students on earlymorning field trips, and also shows a variety of films throughout the day and night to appeal to all kinds of crowds. That flexibility makes Violet Crown a mix of a multiplex and an art house, Grendle says. Recently it started a series where local organizations friendly with the theater pick a “guilty pleasure” film for the public to view on the big screen (SFR took part in June, and culture editor Alex De Vore’s no-brainer choice was 2012’s Les Miserables). It continues tonight (July 26) with screenwriter Kirk Ellis’ pick, The Witch. Grendle and the VC also begin the Summer in Paris series on Tuesday Aug. 1, a month-long celebration featuring eight French films. (AC) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Internet Troll because CAPITAL LETTERS and anger are still Cool to spew on Corporate Media websites!
group of underdogs who probably need haircuts but definitely have small-town pride Madrid Miners softball team It’s a source of local pride that Madrid, New Mexico, was home to the first lighted ballpark west of the Mississippi. When the town was owned by General Electric in its coal mining days (think 1920s), the minor-league Madrid Miners baseball team was a feeder team for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the ballpark was the place to be on summer evenings.

SFREPORTER.COM
Tie: Harvey Mushman (SFReporter.com) and Maria Piernavieja (Facebook) SFR has some lively online commenters, and two in particular have become our favorites. Harvey* (not his real name), whose account at SFReporter.com had posted 1,250 comments as of July 25, intensely despises our “leftist” staff and thinks Santa Feans are “pathetic and childish.” He also wants a Heterosexual Pride Parade. He makes fun of writers’ names he deems abnormal. Pretty sure he called us “libtards” once. Absolutely nothing is beyond his ire. (Except maybe the Rose Park. He didn’t comment on that story.) Why does someone whose IP address pings him in another state so loyally read SFR, so strongly disagree with every word we say and so vehemently hate every subject we write about?
After recent reconstruction and revitalization, with help from the Madrid Cultural Projects and a 2016 Power Up grant from PNM, the historic Oscar Huber Memorial Ballpark is the perfect home for the current Madrid Miners softball teams. The mens adult, co-ed adult, and co-ed kids teams are totally made up of folks from the Madrid metropolitan area (the 2010 census clocked the population at 204). The team’s annual Memorial Day game against the East Mountain Riff Raff, in its 35th iteration, was again a bust—but it’s all good. “We’ve never won. We’ve come close a couple times,” says Dale McDonnell, coach of the co-ed team, of the Memorial Day match. “If we lose, we party after the game. If we win—well, I don’t know what we’ll do.” In June, Madrid also hosted a two-day mens tournament with nine teams from Santa Fe and Albuquerque. “Hopefully we’ll someday have a co-ed tournament,” McDonnell adds. “We thought we’d have a hard time getting enough women to play, but once we put the word out, the women came out of the woodwork.” This year’s season ended July 10, but the coed team is rarin’ to go for a possible fall league in August and September,too. It can only get better from here, baby. Follow their Facebook page to keep up: facebook.com/madridminers. (CJ)
The world may never know; in January 2017, former SFR staff writer Steven Hsieh invited Harvey to be interviewed for our “3 Questions” feature. Harvey declined, wishing to maintain safe anonymity. On the Facebook front, we have Maria* (also not her real name). Maria’s comments are always long, full of randomly capitalized words from which we can’t really determine a pattern and brimming with vitriol about what she often calls the “Corporate Media.” (We think that’s us.) A common complaint of hers is that we don’t cover what we cover. For example, in the comments section about a story about marshmallows, Maria would likely say: “Typical Santa Fe. The Corporate Media never writes about Marshmallows Because of its Corporate Interests in Tourism and advertising Revenues.” Mmkay. Maria once spat that we only publish letters to the editor that go along with our views, and that any letter expressing dissent is “thrown out.” Since I am the individual who puts together the Letters page each week, I was suddenly a little nervous that Maria was a mole, hovering around SFR’s office, looking over my shoulder. But then, a calming thought: I don’t fucking throw away letters to the editor. It’s not even a thing. My god, Maria, if you’re gonna bitch at us, at least bitch about something that we actually do. Sheesh. SFR has many readers and many commenters and we appreciate every last one of you. Even trolls need to be fed at times, so have these scraps. (CJ)
curator who doesn’t quite get the credit she deserves Angie Rizzo at the Center for Contemporary Arts 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338
Rent is expensive in SF, but not nearly as much as the other SF … as in, San Francisco. Angie Rizzo, the visual arts curator at the Center for Contemporary Arts, moved to Santa Fe after she and her friends could no longer afford to maintain the small gallery space she helped run in the Bay Area. Now, she’s been here three years, shepherding artists who take big risks and try new things. She’s one of the people responsible for filling the Muñoz Waxman Gallery and the smaller gallery between the two movie theaters. Multiple sources report that Rizzo indeed works her ass off to help her artists put on the best show possible, and while the CCA has a loyal trickle of visitors, we can only hope that more folks turn out to check out the work. So make Angie happy and drop by pronto. (AC)

place to spot Mayor Javier Gonzales
A conference of visionaries in New York City Oh, Javier. Ye of eternal vision. Just what are you gazing at in all those photos? It’s the future, of course. And it starts with a flight to the coast. The mayor has traveled to and fro since taking office in 2014, including trips to Paris and England, New York and Miami Beach. He’s not shy about posting photos of his official travels to his social media accounts, where you can see him mugging with AOL co-founder Steve Case at SXSW in Austin or delivering remarks at the International LGBT Leaders Conference in Washington, DC. If it’s official travel, taxpayers are often picking up at least part of the cost. Whether that investment translates into Santa Fe being seen as a city on the rise is yet to be determined. This kind of spending often doesn’t yield immediate results. In Hizzoner’s defense, some of his travel stems from Santa Fe’s higherthan-normal profile among cities its size. People love to visit, everyone knows we’re cool and they want to know why. A more likely contributing travel factor is that the City Council cannot stop itself—no matter who is sitting on it—from passing leading-edge legislation like the city’s living wage ordinance or from sounding off on notable issues like the Dakota Access Pipeline, national parks and mineral leases. When you get noticed, you get invited places. Javier’s the one to go. (Matt Grubs)

THE VERY BEST-ISH OF SANTA FE
HAPPENINGS waste of $4 million we could’ve used for something other than dividing the community Sugary-drink tax election If somebody came up to you on the street and offered you $4 million for pre-kindergarten programs, but added the caveat that you can’t spend it on pre-K itself, only advertising, you’d think they were nuts. You’d think, dare we say it: “There has to be a better way.” Well, that’s basically what happened in May as almost 40 percent of registered voters (that’s a lot for a city election) showed up to put the kibosh on a proposed 2-cents-per-ounce tax on sugary beverages. It would have provided enough money, Mayor Javier Gonzales said, for 966 seats in highquality pre-K programs every year. Enter Michael Bloomberg and the American Beverage Association. The pair of out-ofstate moneybags deluged Santa Fe with campaign dollars. In the end, Big Soda outspent Bloomberg and company in its victorious effort. Then it and its consultants found a better way out of town. Santa Fe will have to figure out some other plan to expand its early childhood education programs. The estimated cost to grow pre-K by nearly 1,000 seats was north of $7 million, so it’s not as though all that campaign cash would have done a ton of good, but it might have been better spent on something other than a really loud argument.

place to laugh at that poor schmuck who just got dinged for speeding ... right before you get dinged for speeding
Highway 599 It’s also known as the Veterans Memorial Highway and could well be known as the Low Insurance Rates Memorial Highway. This is the place for cops looking to scratch their ticket itch, and things can get pretty itchy. “It’s turned into regular duty for us,” says Santa Fe Police Department spokesman Greg Gurule. He tells SFR some bad crashes at the road’s notorious at-grade crossings have made it a department priority since the beginning of the year. “We even assign overtime [patrols] to it to maintain a presence on a continuing basis.” All three local agencies—city police, the county sheriff and staters—aggressively patrol the wide-open, 55-mph road you think should be an interstate. In the three-month span that ended in June, New Mexico State Police alone wrote 523 speeding tickets on this stretch. (MG)
current trend Santa Feans have always rocked Kimonos and robes From Star Wars-esque wraps to embroidered kimonos, light outer layers are prevalent on runways in 2017 fashion publications. But they’ve always made appearances on the streets of Santa Fe. In fact, one of the most famous locals of all time, Georgia O’Keeffe, is a prime example of an outer-layer queen. She donned wrap-like dresses and monotone minimal outfits paired with open robe-like jackets on the regular. You’ll find them in shop windows around town, including Origins (209 Galisteo St., 988-2323) and even gracing walls as decorations at Ten Thousand Waves (21 Ten Thousand Waves Way, 982-9304), plus there’s a rack of vintage takes in a back room at Stephen’s Consignment Gallery (2701 Cerrillos Road, 471-0802). Whether it’s embroidered, silk, linen, Chinese-inspired or Mexican, Santa Feans will always love and rock a good kimono. Bravo, folks, we were ahead of a trend for maybe the first time in history.

thing we’ve ever seen in a shop window way to get a tourist lost
Give them directions to Museum Hill This isn’t so much the fault of the tourist as it is a reflection of Santa Fe’s propensity to have six different ways of getting where you need to go. Do you send them out Old Santa Fe Trail? How do you explain that weird left turn at the top of the hill? You could point them up Canyon Road to Camino del Monte Sol, but that has a lot of distractions, and what if they miss the turn? Is it easiest to just tell them to take Alameda all the way around past St. John’s and then left at the first stop sign, right at the next, and then a quick left? And God forbid you’re trying to get them there from the south, because that’s a 50/50 proposition that might end with a call to Atalaya Search & Rescue. You’re better off telling them to find a place to park and jump on the free Museum Shuttle line of the Santa Fe Pickup or shelling out a mere dollar to ride the M line of the city’s Santa Fe Trails bus system. You’ll be doing a public service by keeping a tourist off the roads (an idea ripe for an Ali Macgraw public service announcement) and you’ll feel better about your insider knowledge. Then again, if the tourist in question happens to be a real pain, you might just forget to tell them about that weird left turn up by the gallery and Cliff’s Liquors. Or was it a right where Camino Cruz Blanca dead ends into Camino del Monte Sol instead of a left? It’s so hard to remember … (MG)
PEOPLE | HAPPENINGS | EAT & SIP This massive sterling silver and gold kachina bolo tie Simply Southwest Trading Post, 84 E San Francisco St., 983-6165
Navajo silversmith Tommy Singer died in 2014, but pieces he created during his many decades as an artist can still be found all over Santa Fe. One such glinty bauble caught our eye while walking on the Plaza one recent afternoon, and though we know we could never personally pull it off, we still hope we’ll one day see someone sporting it. This is no ordinary bolo, friends; it’s a nearly foot-tall silver and 14K gold kachina oozing with style and detail and perfect for anything from a night at the Native Treasures benefit to afternoons perusing Indian Market. The salesman at Simply Southwest Trading Post tells us that silver and gold were specialties of Singer’s, and estimates a $10,000-plus price tag for this specific piece. We’re writers, which means we’ve basically taken a vow of poverty. For those with means, however, you simply cannot go wrong dropping a few bucks on such a gorgeous and intricate work of art. (ADV)
place to stand during free Railyard shows when you don’t feel like staring into the gaping maw of insanity that is a bunch of baby boomers “dancing” or dealing with those beach chair weirdos That one tree in the Railyard
Cerrillos Road and Guadalupe Street
This year’s Railyard concert series might be the best yet thanks to nonprofit AMP Concerts and their recent acquisition of a $25,000 AMP grant (no relation) from Los Angeles’ Levitt Foundation. Thus far, we’ve seen Meat Puppets, DakhaBrakha with Cloacas, Dumpstaphunk with The Sticky and many more, and there are even more great shows on the horizon. But for some of us, there’s quite the quagmire to circumvent as we take in the jams, and it’s not just in the form of those people who show up early and plunk down beach chairs in the effing middle of everything—it’s the dancers. And before you give us some diatribe about how we should all dance like nobody’s watching and oh, isn’t it beautiful that they still feel the music and some people just wanna sit—save it. So what do we do when we want to observe the art and enjoy the evening from a safe distance? We head to that one tree. Which tree? Well, say you’re looking at the stage from the center of the Railyard Plaza. Simply turn around and veer toward your left. There’s a bench there. It’s often adjacent to a food truck; you’ll be free to not be bumped or careened into and nobody is gonna be like, “Hey! Even though sitting in a chair in the middle of a crowd is objectively absurd, I blame you for obstructing my view!” Life will be good. Have a kebab from Kebab Caravan. Splendor at the magical quality of nature. Maybe learn a thing or two about botany. Chloroplasts, grrrl … chloroplasts. (ADV) CONTINUED ON PAGE 61

local dog That one fat corgi I see near Whole Foods sometimes
place to get stoned around dead people Our Lady of Guadalupe Cemetery
My brother acquired a mixed-breed corgi-type dog recently, and my reverence for the stubby beasts went from somewhere in the “All right, that’s fine” camp to “OHMYGAWDLOOKATTHELITTLELEGS!” world. I started seeing those fuzzy little bastards everywhere, and it was good. And though the Queen of England’s fave four-legged friends are all basically the cutest damn things anywhere (especially in puppy form), there is one who all at once mystifies, amazes and calls to me, and I don’t even know its name. Never met the pup, in fact, but I just know we’d be best friends. If you wish to see this gorgeous gift to humanity, merely hang around the Guadalupe Street area and/ or the Whole Foods parking lot. It’ll take some doing, but I’ve run into this mutt pretty regularly, and lord is he fat. But in this good way. See, some corgis don’t love running (who does?), and their little legs mean they can get kinda wiped out easily. Thank goodness, too, because something tells me I wouldn’t care even close to as much if it weren’t adorably pudgy. So here’s to you, fat corgi, for you have stolen my heart. (ADV)
on Early Street, one block off Cerrillos
“Dead bodies everywhere!” isn’t the kind of thing you’d want to hear when you’ve just partaken of cannabis. Or, maybe the weed would encourage a calm understanding of the material oneness of life in which you consider that the dirt to which we all return is transformed into life-giving soil when our decaying corpses are enveloped within it. Either way, you can see where your mind wanders by picking up some medicinal cannabis at Fruit of the Earth Organics (901 Early St., 310-7917) and then checking out Our Lady of Guadalupe Cemetery across the street. The earliest graves date back to the 19th century, and the latest appears to be from 1955. Many people buried there have classic New Mexico surnames—Gurule, Trujillo, Montoya, Armijo—although the person born the earliest of them all (1820) probably has the most old timey-sounding first name: Enepomosino. The placement of a new-agey dispensary founded by a free-spirited Anglo transplant next to a staid Hispano cemetery is probably one of best displays of Santa Fe’s cultural history and the way it either clashes or coalesces. (AC)
WARNING: ARTISTIC RENDERING OF THE CORGI IN QUESTION
ridiculous attempt at making a kid excited That time our editor tried to convince a staffer’s daughter that a regular work day was actually “reading camp” Every parent has been there. Even every pet owner. You know how you’re trying to get your dog psyched to eat a pill so you wrap it in ham and dance around and talk all high-pitched and then throw it to them like it’s a biscuit? Well, when a staffer’s daughter had to hang out at SFR HQ for a few work days after school let out, she was understandably a little bored. On Tuesdays we have Doritos and Orange Crush, but that’s about where it ends for things that would appeal to an 8-year-old. All we do is type on our computers and drink obscene amounts of coffee and yell from cube to cube about government officials and whether it’s time to switch to wine yet. But wait! SFR Editor Julie Ann Grimm to the rescue. She swooped in and told the kid that watching your mom code a website and her coworkers scribble with red pens is actually reading camp! Look how close the library is to our office! Maybe we don’t go on hikes or have a sandbox or any other kids whatsoever or whatever else real camps have, but this is fun! We promise! Needless to say, it wasn’t long before the kid asked her mom to send her to Santa Fe Performing Arts. (CJ)

local trend -ISH that needs to just stop already and we can’t believe we still have to say this Musicians taking themselves super seriously Here’s a little something to chew on for all you local songsmiths out there: No one cares. First of all, it isn’t as if the music industry even really works the way it once did anymore—the internet has basically killed that. There isn’t some magical deal out there waiting. And even if it did still work that way, it isn’t like there are A&R guys from labels thinking, “I’ll check out Santa Fe, and then, if I have time, I’ll hit up New York and Los Angeles and New Orleans or wherever.” We get that you work hard and we think it’s just adorable that you put your albums up on iTunes and Spotify and YouTube, but the best pieces of advice we can give are: 1) tour constantly and build an actual following not made up of your neighbors and buddies, 2) move somewhere and actually try to do it—or 3) Just, like, take it easy. You’ll continue to be that band who plays while the TVs are on or the drinkers are busy flirting or the sound guys ignore you or—and this is really bestcase-scenario here—you’ll open for some middling band who isn’t from here and make a couple bucks. See, whoever told y’all that a career in music was a stable and genuinely wise way to make your living has done you a disservice. So play your shows as you can and keep releasing your albums (some of them are truly phenomenal), but otherwise let’s all just relax a little. (ADV)
(worst) total drag for SFR this year Places that stop carrying SFR for no good reason, such as Trader Joe’s! We love that super-rich vanilla ice cream. They have the best glutenfree pasta we’ve ever tried. And the juice selection? So very vast! There isn’t much to dislike about Trader Joe’s, down to the awesome Hawaiian-shirted cashiers. We said there isn’t much to dislike. There is something. And it’s a pretty big something. Thanks to Phillips Edison & Company—the mysterious, perhaps cranky corporate overlords that own the Cordova Road shopping center that contains Santa Fe’s TJ’s (as well as hundreds of other shopping malls across the country)—all periodicals were ordered removed from outside the grocery store. In one fell swoop, one of the most popular pickup spots that SFR had was gone overnight. We’ve had folks ask why we’re no longer outside TJ’s, and believe us, we are trying to find out too! Andy Bramble, SFR’s circulation manager, has been unable to get an answer out of the mega-landlords. Bramble says he has tried to call them many times, and has never received a return call. “They apparently had no interest in having any sort of dialogue or communication about this,” he says. Bummer. SFR has explored other options to make available the copies that no longer fly off the rack at TJ’s. If you want SFR at a location, be sure to ask for it, because shit just got real, you guys. (CJ)

EAT & SIP place to scarf down a decadent cinnamon roll and chase it with a breakfast burrito while a peacock eyeballs you San Marcos Café 2877 Hwy. 14, 471-9298
Admittedly, this was a fairly narrow category. Part of what makes the café south of town on the Turquoise Trail so fun, though, is that it’s so unique. A feed store is around the side, the homey café is in front. Especially as fall makes its way into Northern New Mexico, a seat in the sunroom close to the fireplace is a great spot to spend a little more time than you planned to, sipping coffee. Owners Cindy and Mark Holloway bought the place in 2014 and all their changes seem subtle. They still have turkeys and chickens and 20-ish peacocks roaming the property. (The geese are plastic.) The peacocks, especially, are not shy about showing off—or seeing how much food you’re stuffing down your gullet. It should be a lot. The cinnamon rolls ($4.25) are fantastic and the halfdozen variations on a breakfast burrito come with chile that lets you know it’s there. Waitstaff rave about the San Marcos Burrito ($10.50), which comes packed with roast beef and the usual accoutrements. They’re also happy to sub out meat for an avocado if veggies are more your thing.

weird array of sauces you didn’t think would taste good— but then they totally did The Burger Stand

You’re at the Burger Stand and you’ve ordered your green chile cheeseburger or your Kobe beef burger or your fried chicken sandwich or your fish and chips, falafel, flat iron steak or hot dog—whatever. And now it’s time to dress that bad boy, but you’ve grown tired of the same old ketchup-mayo-mustard combo and long for a sauce you’ve had ne’er before. Relax. Breathe easy. For these burg-nerds have created the sauce bar to end most others, and your glorious ship has finally come in. Their six fantastic mixes come in the form of Bloody Maria barbecue sauce, guajillo chile dip, roast garlic & parmesan ailoi and—bear with us— toasted marshmallow, among others. We dipped fries in the marshmallow one and slathered our burgers and hot dogs with avocado ranch; we mixed several together. We ate our words and basically were like, “Man, this stuff would probably be good on, like, a cake, too.” (ADV)

appropriation of Albuquerque’s Breaking Bad fame Walter White Margarita at San Francisco Street Bar and Grill 50 E San Francisco St., 982-2044
unnecessarily complicated process that creates an aesthetically pleasing and delicious frozen treat Freezie Fresh
facebook.com/freeziefresh
This mobile ice cream cart serves made-to-order frozen creations prepared by owner Xzavian Cookbey, who says he got the idea for the unique sweets when his college roommate at Santa Fe University of Art and Design showed him a video of a similar ice cream setup he’d seen while traveling in Thailand. After three months practicing the intricate chopping, mixing, spreading and scraping technique, Cookbey perfected the thin rolls of ice cream, and opened Freezie Fresh at the end of June 2016. SFR tracked the treat cart to the parking lot on West Alameda near La Montañita Co-op and Betterday Coffee on a hot and sunny weekday afternoon. As we approached, Cookbey was making his raspberry blend in a hurry for two kids waiting for the bus. He said he’d tried to make them a free treat the day before, but the bus had come too quickly. Meeting the people he’s making ice cream for is clearly something Cookbey is into. In fact, he says it’s his favorite part of owning Freezie Fresh. “Just being on the front line, meeting customers, I build somewhat of a relationship with them.” He says he sees a lot of repeat ice cream lovers, “which is good. People are coming back and bringing new people with them.” You’ll find different flavors each time you visit including ones like mango chile lime, strawberry, Thai iced tea and lemon cream (which is the owner’s favorite). He makes every recipe himself, mixing the flavor compote with a vanilla custard (sans eggs) on a freezing cold plate powered by a generator. You see the liquid solidify into frozen goodness right before your eyes as Cookbey combines the ingredients and smooths the mixture into a thin square before scraping up four slices into little rose-shaped rolls. Trust us, this stuff is as good as it is pretty. We know you’ll Instagram it (tag ‘em up—@freeziefresh) and we know you’ll eat it more than once. Good thing he has a loyalty program. (MER)
It went on for five seasons and it put Albuquerque back on the pop culture map, so it’s only natural that the Breaking Bad television show and all its fandom and accoutrements are alive and well in Santa Fe for both locals and tourists. One can acquire a T-shirt emblazoned with a crafty Dia de los Muertos version of Heisenberg on the Santa Fe Plaza and pick up blue meth rock candy in Albuquerque’s Old Town before taking a multi-stop tour of the homes and businesses featured in the series. But wait, there’s more. Sip on the Walter White Margarita at the San Francisco Street Bar and Grill, where a turquoise-drenched woman wearing a fringy black skirt tells us the food is great too. Bartenders could also market this cocktail as The Manhattan Different, in that its blue hue resembles glowing nuclear waste. But their theme slants more toward modern chemistry. Behold an azure concoction in a martini glass with a sugar or salt rim and a bold serving of silver tequila with Blue Curaçao citrus-flavored liquor replacing its standard Triple Sec cousin—all for $9. And watch soon for the Better Call Saul tour and a vodka tonic in a plastic glass or, better yet, a fictional top-shelf tequila. Hint: On the show, they say he’s working at a swanky firm in Santa Fe, but hardly any of the filming actually takes place here. (Julie Ann Grimm)
local place to get coffee that was here well before all this talk of waves Ohori’s Coffee Roasters 1098 ½ S St. Francis Drive, 982-9692 505 Cerrillos Road (inside Luna Center)
Oh, how the third-wave coffee world loves to bestow accolades and praise upon the most hipster-y of shops and most somehow-innovative ways to pour hot water through ground beans, but this is Santa Fe, and we know how to remember our history. Right? Right. And nobody at SFR would dare talk down to any of our town’s fine coffee locales (we’re journalists and live off the stuff ), but we know where
we’ll go when the day is ideal and the roast must be just so. Enter Ohori’s, the long-standing local haunt(s) with the strong-ass roasts and the you-totally-get-a-free-cup-if-you-buy-apound deal you know and love. Their food menu may be practically non-existent and their hangout options may be limited, but when you press that beautiful morning shotin-the-dark up to your lips and quaff that heady elixir, you know you’ve done it right and you should totally go there more often. They’ve even got a drive-thru. Score. (ADV) CONTINUED ON PAGE 69

Financing Solar: A Quick and Clean Guide The dollars and cents of sustainable energy for your home or business
While most Americans know that solar is a smart bet for the environment and for self-reliance, here’s a surprising fact about installing rooftop solar panels:
It’s a better financial investment than the stock market.
TOP DOG PET RESORT
According to a recent study from North Carolina State University, homeowners who invest in a 5 kilowatt solar system will, on average, earn a better return than they would investing in stocks.
“The Kennel Different”
Still, going solar is a big decision and a serious investment. Here are three financial questions to consider before installing your system: 1. What’s the right time to go solar from a financial standpoint? While a rooftop solar system might have cost as much as a luxury car a decade ago, the same system will cost as much as an economy car—less than $18,000 on average—today. Installation costs are down to less than half what they were in 2008. Given rising prices for utility electric, solar’s return on investment is better than ever. A typical system installed today will pay for itself through electricity savings in anywhere from a couple of years to 10 years—with five years being the average. And, because the 30% tax credit starts scaling down in 2019, there are advantages to installing panels sooner rather than later. This is the time to go solar.
2. Should I purchase or lease? Most independent experts agree: purchasing solar is best way to go. With a wide range of solar energy loans available—including many with little or no money down—nearly any homeowner or business owner can reap the full financial benefits of a solar system, including tax credits and gains to property values, by investing in the purchase of a system. Yet, one fact is apparent: Whether you lease, take out a loan, or purchase in cash, solar almost always generates significant savings compared to buying electric from the utility.
3. How can I get the best price on a high-quality solar system? Get multiple quotes, and pick the right provider. But remember: it’s not just the sticker price that matters. SunPower by Positive Energy Solar offers a warranty on workmanship for 25 years as well as a an unmatched 25- year warranty on panels. To start making your investment in solar, call SunPower by Positive Energy Solar: Our experienced professionals will meet with you to understand your goals, provide design options, counsel you on available tax incentives, and show you how much you can save on electric bills. The evidence is clear: Solar isn’t just responsible and sustainable—it’s financially savvy.
To find out how much you can save with solar, visit PositiveEnergySolar.com or call 505.424.1112

OK, so obviously Santa Fe isn’t New York City, and somehow they’re the only city on earth that’s figured out how to make pizza properly (bagels, too)—we get it! But there’s no getting around the greasy, floppy, better-when-you-dip-it-in-the-balsamic-glaze goodness of Pizza Centro. These thin yet massive slices run the gamut from classic to crazy, and the price-to-full-belly ratio is off the charts. Rock your own custom creation with any of their fine toppings or venture deeper into the belly of the beast with concoctions such as the Alphabet City (with flashfried eggplant, artichoke hearts and lots more), the Chelsea (which comes with both meatballs and sausage) or, for you vegetarians out there, the Central Park (with spinach, sun-dried tomato, ricotta and other such awesomeness). Look, no one is besmirching the good names of fine dough-flingers from the Eastern Seaboard, but we’re gently suggesting that Pizza Centro has what it takes to close that gap, even just a little bit—and we’ll all probably be OK, Jasper. (ADV)
Jimmy Johns While eating a lame-to-low-mediocre sandwich at Jimmy John’s (now with two locations in our City Different), it’s always good to stare at the wall and ponder your serious life decisions. The franchise is owned by Jimmy John Liautaud, who has a net worth of $400 million, and the advice on said wall is from Richard Branson, a British businessman worth $5 billion. So clearly, he is a better person than me. I’m going to listen to him! - Think Yes, Not No. Okay, I did. I thought yes to owning a chimpanzee. Now I own a chimpanzee. What now, Jimmy John? Richard, any input? - Keep Your Good Name. Charlotte Jusinski is a pretty good name, but I kind of think
Thurstonia Chalice would be better. Instead of “keep” it, can I “get” it instead? - Aim High. Shit, now the baby doll is on the roof. - Put The Family and The Team First. I put the Kardashians and the Edmonton Oilers first. My parents are kinda pissed. Jim and/or Rich, can you talk to them for me? - When It’s Not Fun, Move On. Good, I didn’t want to sit on the toilet any more anyway. - Calculate The Risks, Then Take Them. OK! I calculated that I risked losing at least four fingers and both eyes while playing with firecrackers in the garage. I can’t see now, so I am typing this by feel with three fingers (my calculations were off ), so hk m mI beggnb u jbgeg? (CJ)

Exploding passion balls at State Capital Kitchen 500 Sandoval St., 467-8237
The best part of eating this dessert might be the sense of anticipation when you get the instructions from your waitress: Lift the delicate globe from its bed of white sugar in that cute little ceramic bowl. Close your mouth completely after you place the entire object on your tongue. We’ve heard commercials for chewing gum and kids’ drinks with far less pizzaz. What happens next is remarkable. A soft, waxy exterior dissolves into a—yes—explosion of passion fruit. Chef Mark Connell’s vision at State Capital Kitchen has shifted from its original “American dim sum” concept to a pure culinary joy at a spot that’s been one of the Santa Fe revolving doors of dining. You know him from his former time at Max’s and Arroyo Vino, and from last year’s Best of Santa Fe issue when we raved about his other genius-level dessert. Whether it’s a small-plate supper with foraged mushrooms or a special entree like suckling pig three ways, and regardless of whether you can resist the melting globe of chocolate filled with ice cream that Connell is also serving up with great memories, we recommend you don’t miss this signature dessert to finish with a bang.

use of a welding supply for restaurant decor Bodega Prime 1291 San Felipe Ave., 303-3535 Sandwich lovers in Midtown sagged when Bodega Prime closed for renovations earlier this year, but the expanded dining room that reopened was worth the hiatus. Bodega is back and better than ever. We just love the glass decanter of tap water on the table along with enamel cups, cloth napkins and paper straws. And the simple decor is comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Our favorite new addition is light fixtures that hang above the bar seating. Repurposed industrial items that make their way to a restaurant are always fun, and these happen to be tank valve covers—the kind that screw to the top of oxygen and acetylene tanks in welding shops, or the cap of the helium tank we’ll use to fill balloons at the SFR booth at the upcoming Best of Santa Fe Party in the Railyard (5 pm Friday July 28—it’s free! Be there!). They’re colorful and creative and will probably give you a killer goose egg if you try to dance on the bar and bang your head into one. (The lights, that is. Not the balloons. Those are gonna be nothing but fun.) (JAG)

JOB-PERA The Santa Fe Opera receives its fair share of national and international acclaim as it is, but with the recent world premiere of The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, both the opera and tech worlds are all a-twitter. A careful examination of Jobs’ life—both good and bad—unfolds in the new work from composer Mason Bates, and even opera-phobes can find something to love within the contemporary musicality of the production. Sure, Jobs seems an odd subject for the opera world, but with an open mind and willingness to stray from the classics, this could be the start of something big. (Alex De Vore)

ART OPENING THU/27 SUPER-MERCADO With Traditional Spanish Market and Contemporary Hispanic Market just around the corner, Santa Fe galleries embrace the annual events with shows of their own. One such fine offering comes in the form of a three-artist exhibition from local champs Alvin Gill-Tapia, Arthur Lopez and Miguel Martinez. From gorgeous paintings of New Mexico landmarks to wooden santeros and representations of women, each follows in the footsteps of their forebears and inspirations—but each finds new ground or, at the very least, new angles through which they examine New Mexico’s artistic, cultural and physical landscapes.

The sounds may be well-known to Santa Feans (and the denizens of surrounding areas), but the execution is not—this is a far more high-energy affair than our usual offerings, and one worth hitting the one-time coal mining town.

Beauty Mark These portraits glow. No, really. You may have seen David Santiago’s ethereal lady-portraits, which cover Tractor Brewing Company beer cans and the Gnar Chow food truck often parked outside State Capital Kitchen. You may have also seen his work in one of many exhibits around New Mexico. But you probably missed a detail the artist includes in every one of his works: “Hiding freckles as star constellations in the face has always been a secret signature tying all my pieces together,” Santiago divulges. Zodiac, a solo exhibit of Santiago’s work opening Friday at Beals & Co. Showroom, features 12 new portraits, and each has a glowing addition: fiber optic illumination. Specific marks on these ladies’ faces are threaded with light, creating a star-like constellation on every countenance. “I wanted to find a way to bring it to life more,” says Santiago of his beauty mark additions, “So, I dug a little bit deeper into it and thought about lighting the piece up. I did a couple of experiments about a year ago and just fell in love with the idea.” As its title suggests, each constellation corresponds to a zodiac sign. And though Santiago isn’t a diehard astrolo-
ger, he says he looks at his horoscope sometimes. “Only on bad days,” he tells SFR. “Like, is this meant to be? We’ll see if it’s lined up in the stars. Sometimes, it’s eerie; it explains your life, or maybe that week, to a T. Or sometimes someone’s personality. … I think there’s something really interesting about it.” He blended typical zodiacal traits into the looks on his subjects’ faces. It’s not hard to imagine falling in love with these luminescent paintings, which portray ladies floating in a nest of dark hair, giving the lustrous pieces a swimming-in-the-stars vibe; but, Santiago takes it one step further by incorporating an interactive element. “All the pieces come with remote controls. You can take the remote off the wall and control the piece and make it do what you want it to,” he says. “ I try to create depth in my work, and I think this adds to that and gives a more three-dimensional quality to it.” (Maria Egolf-Romero)

Local hip-hopper Benzo III drops his first major solo release BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
J
“
oe West is my uncle—not by blood, but by marriage,” Benito M Martinez III, aka Benzo III, tells SFR. “When I was a kid and he was practicing out by the house, I’d go there every time; the first instrument I ever played was the toaster.” The toaster is, of course, a far cry from the jazzy/funky hip-hop style Benzo III produces today. A native Santa Fean, Martinez lived in Colorado, California and Las Vegas, New Mexico, before deciding his hometown was the place to be. “Santa Fe has become such a huge part of me, from the culture and the locals to the people who are excited to do music,” he says. “I realized going through to different places that there’s nowhere that holds tradition and culture like we do here.” As a teen, Martinez played in punk bands he describes as sounding like Green Day or Jimmy Eat World, but the easily-doable solo aspects of hip-hop production ultimately drew him away from punk rock. “I really liked creating digitally,” he explains. “I didn’t have access to all these different musicians; I had a few things like drums and a guitar, but it was easy to construct a template of what I wanted to do, and now I can pass it on to the guys and say, ‘This is what I got.’” The guys, as it were, are former members of local bands such as Scarlet Cortex guitarist Matt Ruder or Venus and the
Lion’s Daniel Mench-Thurlow (among others) on sax. And though the project focuses on supporting Martinez’ vision, jamming and open collaboration have been the keys to the writing process. “It’s pretty remarkable to hear what has come out and how they’ve stuck by my side,” says Benzo. “The sound is really developmental, it’s progressive, I still can’t put my finger on it.” Of course, it wasn’t an easy road. In 2008, Martinez’ grandfather committed suicide. He turned to drugs and alcohol and held on tight to anger and frustration.
a language arts teacher and wrestling coach at Pecos Middle School, a career path that has provided perspective. Still, he says, “Some of the most dark and personal songs I’ve written are some of the best songs I’ve written.” Music as therapy is nothing new. But on Benzo III’s newest offering, Head Trip, which releases this Friday at an event at Meow Wolf, he delves deep into the chaos of life and attempts to make sense of it all. It’s a relatively clean representation of the genre and one made all the more impressive by a live backing band; this isn’t about violence, money or misogyny; it’s about Martinez’ personal evolution, the letting go of excess emotional baggage -Benito M Martinez III and the pursuit of becoming a more complete person. And it’s layered. Between jazzy guitars and funky bass lines, you’ll find upbeat horn work, hip-hop beats and Martinez’ sing-songy But it also fueled his music, as did learn- MC skills—it’s not uncommon for him to ing he had a daughter, now 6 years old, two bust into a melody, back into a sick flow years after she was born. These are events and into some combination of the two. that would be challenging for the best of In addition to Head Trip, Martinez us, but Martinez takes them in stride and says he’ll also have his mixtapes and varipresents a positive front. “I asked myself, ous live recordings available at the show, how do I want to come off to my commu- though none are for sale in the traditional nity and the youth?” he says. In the time sense. “You pay the cover and I’ll be dissince his grandfather’s death, he’s become tributing the CDs throughout the night,”
I asked myself, how do I want to come off to my community and the youth?
he says. “By the end of the night, everyone will have a CD.” The show is another feather in the cap of a group of local musicians and artists known as the Outstanding Citizens Collective. Known for their live shows and prolific output, other members include SaggaLiffik, OG Willikers, Wonky and more. As for the Benzo III release show, other performers include locals like DJ Shatter, Doer and GOON as well as Albuquerque’s Def-I and more. Should you want a pre-show taste, visit benzoiii.bandcamp.com. In the meantime, one question remains: How does one play a toaster? “Upside down,” Martinez explains, “and with wooden spoons.” BENZO III ALBUM RELEASE WITH SAGGLIFFIK, DJ SHATTER, DEF-I 7 pm Friday July 28. $20.

its the choice to the ’87 version taking a closer look at subtle LGBTQ+ themes. He rejected the 1998 revival, which he thinks favored shock value over depth, he tells SFR in an email. As a result, we are happily given more of Cliff’s singing with a heartfelt “Don’t Go,” and more of his ambiguous sexuality. Norman plays the role with tension coupled with a wide-eyed innocence that feels natural in his hands. Handmade costumes from veteran designer Cheryl Odom would have stolen the show when the Kit Kat Girls arrive, but the ensemble is so strong that the costumes are there to do them justice. For some, a role as a Kit Kat Girl may be a consolation prize when they shoot for Sally Bowles, but it’s hard to imagine not wanting to be in this squad. They have a camaraderie that evokes modern burlesque—they know we’re ogling them, but they’re in control and ogling us right back. Christine Smith, Alexis Taylor, Terri Scullin, Marisa Xochtl Jimenez and Myriah Duda (the last of whom is a rising high school senior at New Mexico School for the Arts—and she’s a hell of a gorilla!) are all remarkable. Choreography from Patrick MacDonald doesn’t simply accompany the music; it furthers the plot. Instrumental numbers with the Kit Kat Girls and the Klub Waiters (nimble Tristan Van Cleave and jaw-dropping CJ Rodrigues) are not obligatory afterthoughts to make time for costume changes. The moves are

But there is more to be mined This is the 1987 revival of the 1966 here; get ready to go deeper. production; director Vaughn Irving credAt the sold-out preview night, the audience was buzzing. Arriving 30 minutes before the start of the show, three-quarters of the guests were already seated. They even cheered the pre-recorded curtain speech. This is a show that people get excited about, and Santa Fe can barely contain itself. Lee Manship Vignes is our Emcee for the evening, and he introduces us to the Kit Kat Club in Berlin, Germany, as 1929 ticks over to 1930. A shaggy mop of blond hair, a huge, mischievous smile, seduction and irreverence—it’s all there. Soon we meet Cliff Bradshaw, here portrayed by 20-year-old Dylan Norman, whose baby face imbues the character with fresh energy. (And that voice! What would velvet sound like if it could sing?) Cliff accompanies new friend Ernst Ludwig (a dynamic John H Reiser) to the club, where Cliff is set upon by dancer Sally Bowles. Actress Katie Hagan, who plays Bowles, is what you see in You know what they say: Shoot for Sally Bowles so you’ll land among the Kit Kat Girls.

unique, nodding to important choreographers but not imitating. And the singing doesn’t suffer for the weavings and leanings of the tight dances—there is no mud to be heard here. That we particularly noticed one spot where harmonies went a little off (the first rendition of “Tomorrow Belongs to Me”) means that the rest just flowed like honey—even while hanging upside-down, as exhibited by the Emcee. So, the club is all well and good. As ever, though, the meat of this production is in the boarding house. Ann Roylance, Santa Fe’s favorite spritely grandmother figure, is Fräulein Schneider, who rents rooms to various Berliners. One of these renters is Herr Schultz (Ken Bordner), an older Jewish man who owns a grocery store. Schneider and Schultz fall in charming love over gifts of produce and sing lovely little songs together, feet dancing along, as they celebrate their late-in-life love and subsequent engagement. Roylance’s Schneider starts the show as a truly adorable and self-sufficient spinster, but a cloud passes over her face when she learns the gravity of her situation: a gentile woman engaged to marry a Jewish man, with the Nazis poised to take power. Bordner’s buoyant optimism becomes foreboding dismissal of current events. Things go bad. Things always go bad. The love between Schneider and Schultz is the first casualty. In the end, when leaving this production, while the Kit Kat Klub is memorable, we were overwhelmingly haunted by Roylance’s small frame singing the brave yet ultimately helpless number, “What Would You Do?” Hearts break when she exits exhausted, peeping: “I regret everything.” With a truly strong cast, an onstage six-piece band (nod to Michael Blake Oldham, who built the set, made the props, commands the orchestra along with musical director Judson Seely, and then puts down his trombone to play a wordless but vital Max) and relevance that waffles between tiresome and tireless, this Cabaret is essential viewing. Bleibe, reste, stay.

I’m a reader in Kansas with two teenage daughters, 16 and 18. My girls recently met a boy where they work and both took an interest in him. The 18-year-old was devastated that he was more interested in her younger sister. I spoke to the 16-year-old about it, which is when I found out this boy is going to be a sophomore in college. The fact that he’s interested in a 16-year-old is a red flag. I asked the 16-year-old to keep her distance. She agreed, but I saw a shirtless photo he sent her. I don’t know what other photos he’s sent and I don’t know what she’s sent him, but I immediately removed all photo apps from her phone. The girls have had public fights about this boy. They’ve made peace with each other, but now my 18-year-old wants to date him. I can’t control the actions of an 18-yearold but (1) it seem likely this guy is a complete creep and (2) isn’t her relationship with her sister more important? -Knowing A Numbskull Stalks Adorable Sisters 1. I’m not ready to pronounce this guy a creep—at least not for the age difference. It sounds like he met your daughters someplace they’re all working this summer, which is a lot less icky than some college boy creeping on high-school girls via Instagram. And you say this boy is going to be a sophomore in college, KANSAS, but don’t give his age. There are 30-year-old college sophomores, of course, but if this boy went straight to college from high school, that would make him 19 years old. If your 16-year-old is closing in on 17, this guy could be “older” by two years and change. While I can understand why you wouldn’t want your younger daughter dating college boys, I think you are overreacting to the age difference—and it’s a moot issue, as he’s no longer pursuing your younger daughter. 1.5. You know what is creepy? Pursuing a pair of sisters. The possibility of conflict was so predictable, it was likely a motivating factor for him. Getting off on drama and public fights isn’t a crime, but it is a red flag. 2. You ordered your 16-year-old to stop seeing this guy and deleted apps from her phone. (It’s cute you think your daughter isn’t tech-savvy enough to re-download and hide all the same apps.) You should warn your daughter about the risks of sexting—it may be legal for her to have sex (16 is the age of consent in Kansas), but she could face child porn charges for sending photos and this boy could wind up on a sex-offender registry for receiving them. (Laws meant to protect young people from being exploited are routinely used to punish them.) But don’t attempt to micromanage your daughters’ love lives. Parental disapproval has a way of driving teenagers into each other’s arms, KANSAS. If you don’t want your daughters having a fuck-you-mom threesome with this guy before the summer is over, you’ll let them work through this on their own—but go ahead and stitch “boys come and go but sisters are forever” on a couple of pillows and put them on their beds.
I’m a straight guy married to a wonderful woman. She has a daughter. This girl’s bio dad is a checked-out deadbeat, so I have played “dad” since I met her mom five years ago. The girl who used to be a gangly, awkward 11-year-old is now 16, and there’s no other way to put this: She is hot. I’m not supposed to notice, I know, and I have ZERO interest in being creepy with her, and she has ZERO interest in me. But she has always liked to cuddle with me and still does. I believe safe closeness from a dad figure helps girls make good choices when it comes to boys. (If not for

me, she might seek attention from douchebag teenage boys trying to take advantage.) I want to continue to play this role for her. But when she comes in wearing tiny shorts and puts her legs over my lap, I get rock hard. I’m not trying to be creepy, but I’m a guy and she’s a perfect female specimen. I can’t say, “We can’t be as physically close as we used to be,” because that itself would be creepy and it would make her sad. -Insert Dad Acronym Here Obviously Sometimes children grow up and get hot, and bonus adults in their lives—typically (and thankfully) not their bio or lifelong parents— can’t help but notice. The onus is on the adult in that situation to suppress that shit. Not awareness of a young person’s objective hotness, which cannot be suppressed, but all evidence of said awareness. Which means setting boundaries and, if necessary, keeping your distance. No, you shouldn’t go to your stepdaughter and say, “You got hot, and I get boners when you put your legs on my lap, so stop.” But you should put an end to the cuddling. When she plops down on the couch, go take a walk or a shower or a shit. Better she has a sad over the end of snuggle time than she notices your boners and feels unsafe around you. She’s most likely plopping down on you out of habit, IDAHO, not out of a need for affection from a trusted male. I promise you, she’s not going to start blowing bad boys in back alleys if she can’t get close enough to give you a boner anymore. (Also, if you don’t want to come across as a creep, don’t describe your stepdaughter—or any other woman—as a “perfect female specimen.” Ick.)
My college-student daughter lives in an apartment over our garage. She has a boyfriend, age 19. After many loud “discussions,” he is allowed to sleep over. My daughter got an IUD without informing me, so I assume they’re sexually active. Two days ago, I crept into the apartment to check on something and found bondage items on her bed—a set of formidable leather restraints. I’m worried she’s being pressured to do things someone her age wouldn’t be interested in. We agreed not to go into the apartment when she wasn’t present, and I know there will be a loud “discussion” if I tell her what I saw. The mental image of my bound daughter distresses me and I worry for her safety. What do I do? -Offspring Has Incriminating Objects You stay the fuck out of your offspring’s apartment when she isn’t home, OHIO, per your agreement. And you keep these things in mind: Just as there are young queer people out there, there are young kinky people out there too. Your adult daughter might be one of them. For all you know, the restraints were her idea and her boyfriend is the one getting tied up. And a scary-to-mom set of restraints is a lot safer than nylon clothesline or cheap handcuffs. Leather restraints distribute pressure evenly, making them less likely to pinch a nerve or cut off circulation. Like your adult daughter getting herself an IUD, formidable bondage gear is a good sign that she takes her safety seriously. Finally, OHIO, it’s perfectly understandable that you don’t like the mental image of your adult daughter tied to the bed in her apartment (her apartment, not the apartment), but I’m guessing you don’t like the mental image of your adult daughter with a dick in her mouth, either. Just as you don’t torment yourself by picturing the blowjobs your adult daughter is almost certainly giving her boyfriend, don’t torment yourself by picturing whatever else she might be doing with, to, or for him.

APRIL HARTFORD
Trans photographer April Hartford came up in Maine working in the insurance field. In 2010, while training to be a field guide in South Africa, the artist had an epiphany: It was time to transition. The rest, she says, just kind of clicked into place. In 2013, after weighing options between Bend, Oregon, Boulder, Colorado, and Santa Fe, Hartford came to town and continued her project, Transgender: One Person’s Journey. Hartford illustrates the educational and emotional through black and white self-portraits, often demonstrating the inner and outer journey of her transition and life. The gorgeous images can be seen this Saturday July 29 in Hartford’s studio from 1-7:30 pm (539 Old Santa Fe Trail) with artist talks at 2 pm and 5:30 pm. (Alex De Vore) Was there a specific impetus to this project? It kind of organically grew as I was trying to find my voice in photography. I was dealing with gender issues and they started emerging in my photos. One of the big things I wanted to do was to focus on education. There’s a huge lack of education and it makes cisgender people scared or timid to address or learn for fear of doing or saying something wrong. Was the educational aspect a part from the beginning? My goal of doing photography was completely for me, to help me get through the transition and understand it better. But when people would see the work, they were taking something away with them, and that’s how it came to be a part of it. Did you have an outline or plan you followed? Many of the images are executed to a strict plan. I’ve set out to execute or depict certain things or areas. Other images happen because you happen upon a place, the ideas comes to you and you just execute them.

New Mexico’s #1 Tamale Makers
Are you old-school Santa? BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ack in 1970, a local group called La Juventud del Barrio del Cristo Rey banded together as young community activists. Their members included local chicanos and chicanas who donned shades and brown berets. For Christmas, they sold farolitos to benefit El Vicio, then a local drug rehabilitation center. The youth group also had plans to build a Chicano library, according to a 1970 clipping from the Santa Fe New Mexican. Members came from different parts of the city, but the parish of Cristo Rey where they were founded was located on Upper Canyon Road. It was the stomping grounds of the Dogpatch. Eliseo (Cheo) Armijo, a former member of La Juventud and retired Qwest technician, spoke of the group’s activities when he described growing up in the Dogpatch. Armijo said the label was around even before he was. Santa Fe’s own Dogpatch drew from the title of Al Capp’s tonguein-cheek comic strip, Li’l Abner, based on an invented town in the Appalachian backwoods. Those who lived there—Abner, Daisy Mae, Mammy and Pappy Yokum and the Shmoos— became household names over the course of the comic’s four-decade run.
Li’l Abner was even fodder for Broadway and, later, the silver screen in the 1959 movie of the same name, both written by Melvin Frank. “Li’l Abner lived up in the the hills, perched on the edge. Our houses were perched up on the hills, too,” remarked Armijo. He still lives on Upper Canyon Road, overlooking the Santa Fe River in a home that he built with his wife, primos and other family members. They made all the adobes for the two-story structure by hand. The Dogpatch roughly covers a triangular stretch in the city’s historic east side, including Acequia Madre, Camino Don Miguel, Camino del Cañon (Canyon Road), Upper Camino del Cañon, Cerro Gordo, Upper (East) Palace Avenue, Apodaca Hill and Camino Cabra. Hillside Avenue (once known as Los Corchos) also falls into this barrio, though it’s difficult to set hard-and-fast boundaries. Former residents of Hillside recall that the arroyo where the road ends was a notorious party spot back in the late 1970s. It could be grittier there than other parts of the east side, according to one woman’s recollections. Even the Dogpatch had pockets. Despite the differences across the barrio, the response remains the same among those looking back to the days of the Dogpatch: It was a wholly other place in their memories, one where the acequias still provided water to the local apple orchards, entire families lived on the same property for

Even during those transitional years before and after the arrival of St. John’s College, there were a lot more young people cruising the streets of the east side—kids and teenagers who used to fight with the “westsiders,” party into the night, or, like the members of La Juventud, organize amongst themselves. If you aren’t familiar with the Dogpatch, that’s because the name doesn’t see as much use today. It’s becoming something of a throwback. Some former residents chalk this up to generational differences, but changing demographics have had a hand, too. In the late ’90s, many locals had to put historic eastside properties up for sale that had been kept in families for generations due to exorbitant tax hikes. A resident’s tax bill could go up 50 or 100 percent back then and sometimes more, according to Santa Fe County Tax Assessor Gus Martinez. For that reason, the legislature instituted the 3 percent cap rule in 2001 so that locals wouldn’t be faced with the prospect of “selling out.” Martinez, who calls that area the “heart of Santa Fe,” notes that although
the 3 percent cap has been beneficial, there are more people from out of state, or who make Santa Fe their second or part-time home, living on the east side than in the past. And of course, he adds, “those buying and selling set the market.” Even during the 2008 crash, that area of Santa Fe still retained its value. With such expensive land up for sale, “your typical person,” Martinez said, couldn’t afford property in a barrio now considered Santa Fe’s upper end. Many Hispanic families were displaced as a result. And once you sell, Armijo said, “you can never go back.” Now, a house could go for $300,000 in the rest of the city; one in the barrio of yore costs upwards of one million dollars. Driving through the area, it’s hard not to see the number of real estate signs perched along the winding roads. Given the parallels to Appalachia, Dogpatch is one of those designations that seems self-deprecating at first, a jab at the working class or poor Hispanic residents who once lived there, concocted before the days of political correctness. But when it’s evoked, there’s a sense of community connection, a raza. If you remember the Dogpatch, then you’re old Santa Fe.

This level of camaraderie is the norm for the group. “What I really like is how supportive everybody is,” says script editor and proofreader Diana Thatcher. “For example, this workshop was not what I was expecting—Allrich was really gentle and supported everyone and helped them. I thought he would just rip into them.” Writer Dean Balsamo agrees, saying, “I’ve gone to a number of groups like this, but this is the one that seems to gel.” It’s encouraging to see such a cohesive, diverse and welcoming group of filmmakers, but it’s not surprising given Streeper’s upbeat personality. He explains with excitement that workshop turnouts have been getting better over the last few months. “Tonight’s turnout was pretty good, but sometimes we’ll

fter hours at the Santa Fe Business Incubator on July 19, over a dozen local filmmakers sit attentively as guest speaker Steve Allrich flips through a script. Aldrich addresses one of the writers in the room, whose draft he holds in his hand. “Usually, if there’s a sound playing over a visual that’s coming from the next scene, it’s called a ‘pre-lap,’” Allrich says. “That allows filmmakers to know exactly how that sound fits into the story.” The group, known as Santa Fe Filmmakers, meets once a month for these workshops. As Eric Streeper, its founder, explains, “I started putting talks and workshops on about seven months ago, because there weren’t any active filmmaker groups I could find in town.” Since then, the group, which primarily communicates through the online platform Meetup, has grown to over 200 local filmmakers and creatives, according to its webpage. At this particular workshop, called First 5, writers received feedback on the first five pages of their script from Allrich, a writer and producer who worked on the 2015 Western drama The Timber. The subject matter varies greatly, from an Afro-badass female spy to a troublemaking elderly duo. Allrich, who one attendee jokes “looks a lot scarier than he actually is,” delivers feedback in a critical

have events where almost 30 people show up,” Streeper says with a laugh. Most events are a good mix of old and new faces, Streeper notes, and Steve Allrich is no exception to this trend. The pair’s relationship began about a month ago over coffee. “I became involved with Santa Fe Filmmakers by just looking up Meetups in Santa Fe, since I was involved in a similar group up in Portland,” Allrich tells SFR. “I found Eric’s name and reached out to him for coffee.” After a few more caffeine-fueled discussions about film and one lecture, Allrich pitched his idea for a script workshop, which Streeper received enthusiastically. “After I did one of their talks last month about screenwriting, I realized that education is something that I want to get more involved in,” Allrich says. “In a previous life, I was an artist, and I taught art for about 25 years, so I do have an enjoyment of teaching.” Aside from plans for another script
workshop, the group has even more events coming up over the next few weeks. This Thursday, members are scheduled to appear at the Santa Fe Community College for a hands-on workshop. “They’re going to have all kinds of equipment there,” Streeper says, “but it’s all going to be pretty common stuff, so you’ll learn how to really shoot on a budget.” In August, Santa Fe Filmmakers aims to join forces with other organizations like the New Mexico Film Foundation and New Mexico Women in film for a mixer at The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Company, which Streeper hopes will be an opportunity for local filmmakers to meet and make plans to collaborate on future projects. For now, though, members are grateful for the community they’ve built within their ranks. For a group only seven months in the making, they’re proud the member commitment. The potential for growth is promising, Allrich tells SFR. “I’m open for whatever the future holds, however it evolves,” he says. “I’m just enjoying being a part of the community. There’s a lot of interest in film here and screenwriting which is exciting. Santa Fe kind of has the feel of a small town, comparatively speaking, but there’s a lot of interest relative to the city.”

¡Pour Vida! Low ’n’ slow What’s to be said about wines with lower ABV?
BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
O
ne of the most interesting trends in modern wine-drinking culture is the growing interest in lower-alcohol wines. Alcohol is the one element of a wine’s structure, compared to acidity, residual sugar and tannin, that has a special impact on consumer health (not to mention the tax rate on the wine) and must be monitored as closely as possible. It’s the one piece of technical data that is required by law to be on the bottle. And outside matters of law and health, there is the question of taste; some people find high-alcohol wines bold and beautiful, and others find them lacking in subtlety and overpowering as a food pairing. What causes a wine to have high alcohol? To make wine, yeasts convert sugars into ethanol. Riper grapes with more sugar can make higheralcohol wines, though this is not a neat equation (a zinfandel at 15 percent ABV could still have plenty of residual sugar left over not fermented into alcohol). Fine wines fall routinely above 14 percent, especially in California, although higher alcohol is by no means limited to one region. The powerful reds of Spain or the regal Châteauneuf-duPape come to mind. In Italy, the historic sites for Brunello di Montalcino were the warmer microclimates, but today, longer, hotter growing seasons (and also, standard viti-cultural practices regarding said growing season) are pushing the ripeness levels up, and alcohol levels are getting higher as a result. It’s more common to find a Brunello at 15 percent these days, whereas it was once a struggle to reach 12 percent. Not to imply that higher alcohol wines are somehow “better,” just that the priorities of the wine world are changing as the optimal ripening of the grapes is no longer a major hurdle. Yet, a brutal debate rages on: The corporate wine director for Michael Mina, sommelier Rajat Parr, has always campaigned for balance, specifically in favor of low-alcohol wines. Influential wine critic Robert Parker, however, famously dismissed this perspective as “wine fascism.” So, if you’re looking to enjoy a couple bottles in a night, the difference between 12 percent and 14 percent can make a huge difference. It’s important to consider that, in response to consumer demand for lower-alcohol wines, acidification and watering-down of wines will be the easiest and cheapest response. Here are a few of my favorite low-alcohol wines that do it right.
WINE Reuscher-Haart, Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, Riesling Spätlese, 2013, $22 Not everyone likes late-harvest riesling; a few of my customers ask for low-alcohol wines but quickly follow it up with “no sweet wines, though.” But for those that partake, this wine is a dream; with notes of lush tropical fruit and acidity that dances over your tongue like a mountain stream. It clocks in at just 9.5 percent ABV, and is packed with flavor. A village that lies alongside the Moselle River, Piesport’s greatest vineyard is Goldtröpfchen (the name means “droplets of gold”) and wines bearing the title Piesporter Goldtröpfchen are a class in and of themselves.
Romain Chamiot, Apremont, Savoie, France, 2015, $21 A little-known alpine appellation in Northeastern France, Savoie is too moderate and northerly to produce big, powerhouse styles of wine, although the region’s climate is technically continental, with both alpine and Mediterranean influences. Romaine Chamiot’s family has owned his estate for generations—some of their vines are up to 80 years old. The white grape Jacquère is on display here, yielding a dry, medium-bodied wine with creamy acidity and notes of lime, zesty minerality and wildflowers.
Domaine Vacheron, Sancerre Rouge, 2013, $50 I personally love a pinot noir that is shimmeringly transparent, and this Sancerre Rouge is a perfect example. From a region more famous for its whites than its reds, this wine is a little bit of a sleeper hit, and unabashedly resembles a pinot noir from the famous appellation of Bourgogne. The Vacherons are the leading winemaking family in Sancerre, known for their integrity both in the vineyard and the cellar; employing biodynamic methods in the vineyard, and even making their own organic compost. This wine tastes like cedar and pine and forest floor, with racy cranberry and rhubarb notes. It’s a bit of a splurge at $50, but kind of a bargain when you consider what the prices look like in Bourgogne lately.
Matthiasson, “Helen’s Gate Vineyard,” Grenache/Syrah/ Mourvedre, Napa Valley 2012, $43 “Ok,” you might be saying, “late-harvest riesling and mid-altitude pinot noir is a little ... expected, non? What if I like red wine from California?” Two-time James Beard Award winner Steve Matthiasson has long been a champion of lower-alcohol wines, which he achieves in his wines by harvesting early. This particular Rhonestyle blend is a little rare and hard to find, but the entire line of Matthiason wines are all lower-alcohol; the Helen’s Gate is 11.8, but the winery produces a great Cabernet and chardonnay, in addition to many other bottlings. This wine is also elegant, food-friendly and unmistakably American (in a good, honest way) in terms of fruit and flavor.

The horrors of war 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

In 1940, near the start of World War II, the Allied forces suffered a tremendous defeat against German troops in the town of Dunkirk in France. Subsequently, 300,000 soldiers would be evacuated by military and civilian watercraft, but not before immeasurable losses. It’s a harrowing tale not known to many who aren’t WWII buffs before now, but in Christopher Nolan’s sprawling yet concisely told Dunkirk, we see the tragic events play out with a relentless pace and attention to detail. We follow three main narratives; that of soldiers stranded on a beach waiting for rescue over the period of a week, an hour in the lives of British fighter pilots, and a single day for a civilian pleasure yacht captain who helps retrieve said soldiers alongside his son and his son’s friend. Nolan presents an off-kilter look at each timeline, weaving in and out of the stories, though Dunkirk never feels disjointed. Rather, as bits and pieces from each angle are revealed, we begin to understand the incredible scope of the evacuation and just how lucky the survivors really were, though we’re faced with some hard truths before the credits roll.

VALERIAN AND THE CITY OF A THOUSAND PLANETS

++ BEAUTIFUL, EXCITING -- LOVE, SCHMUV
If there’s one thing we know Fifth Element director Luc Besson can pull off, it’s wildly fun overthe-top sci-fi, and he does not disappoint with Valerian—to a point. Whereas the worldbuilding and CGI hits that utterly gorgeous sweet spot, Besson, who also helmed 1994 fan fave Léon: The Professional, becomes mired in mediocre writing, a few goofy missteps and an almost-tired story about how big ol’ government entities are always stepping on the little guy. Valerian is adapted from the French serial comic Valérian and Laureline (which debuted in 1967) wherein we follow a brash young soldier named Valerian (here played by A Cure for Wellness’ Dane DeHaan) and his underling partner Laureline (Cara Delevingne of Suicide Squad)— with whom our hero happens to have fallen in love. As the partners are swept up into the world of military buffoonery and action-packed space missions in and around the space station Alpha (a sprawling interstellar city that hosts living creatures from a thousand planets), they begin to question their superiors and step way outside

push things, and a baffling mid-film music video featuring Rihanna (yes, that Rihanna) fails to recall the likes of that brilliant Fifth Element opera scene and instead feels like some confused film exec insisted on inserting more sex into the thing. An inter-dimensional market chase, however, is clever and original in a Futurama-like vein right down to an appearance from John Goodman’s voice. Regardless, for those seeking a fun time at the movies, this oughta do just fine if you don’t go looking for anything deep or groundbreaking. Lasers are fired, the aliens look cool and the opening sequence to the tune of David Bowie is perfect. Perhaps Valerian doesn’t become a giant leap for mankind, but it does hit the dizzying highs of space intrigue, and that’s just how we like it. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 137 min.

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 classic 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. (ADV) 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 relation-

ship 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 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 film (he produced it). It comes complete with the Apatow “will they/won’t they/they did!” formulaic cuteness we’ve come to expect from the Knocked Up director/producer. And that’s fine. Just fine. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 120 min.
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 techpropelled 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.

++ 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 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).

his is a sculpture of San Antonio de Valero, called the Alamo. It is not a model but rather an impression of the feel of the structure with the age and history that it has gone through. 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. The drawer assemblage containing images and artifacts that tell a story of the Alamo itself is by PJ Cardinale, my wife and fellow artist since 1966. 6 The Churches of Roberto Cardinale

Sam Elliott continues to meet babes (and delivers an amazing performance) in The Hero. 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.

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.
++ GAL GADOT ABLY BLENDS BEAUTY AND BRAWN
-- 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. Arriving in World War I-era London, Diana peruses a new wardrobe to cover her utilitarian

EDMUND is a sweet boy who loves to be petted, but is also quite independent and does not demand constant attention. He likes to go out on walks on a harness and leash. EDMUND gets along with other easy-going cats and may be OK with a gentle dog. However, he may also enjoy being the only pet and may not be the right match for very young children. He is a handsome Ragdoll mix with Snowshoe seal point markings and big feet, and his beautiful coat requires regular brushing. AGE: born approx. 10/1/07.

MIND BODY SPIRIT
Rob Brezsny
Week of July 26th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): Are you feeling as daring about romance as I suspect? If so, I’ve composed a provocative note for you to give to anyone you have good reason to believe will be glad to receive it. Feel free to copy it word-for-word or edit it to suit your needs. Here it is: “I want to be your open-hearted explorer. Want to be mine? We can be in foolishly cool drooling devotion to each other’s mighty love power. We can be in elegant solid-gold allegiance to each other’s genius. Wouldn’t it be fun to see how much liberation we can whip up together? We can play off our mutual respect as we banish the fearful shticks in our bags of tricks. We can inspire each other to reach unexpected heights of brazen intelligence.”
smartly with your personal share of the world’s suffering, and your day-to-day decisions are based more on love than fear. You’re not taking things too personally or too seriously, and you seem better equipped than everyone else to laugh at the craziness that surrounds us. And even if aliens don’t appear, I bet you will serve as an inspiring influence for more human beings than you realize. Does being a role model sound boring? I hope not. if you regard it as an interesting gift, it will empower you to wield more clout than you’re used to.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You still have a wound that never formed a proper scar. (We’re speaking metaphorically here.) It’s chronically irritated. Never quite right. Always stealing bits of your attention. Would you like to do something to reduce the distracting power of that annoying affliction? The next 25 days will be a favorable time to seek such a miracle. All the forces of nature and spirit will conspire in your behalf if you formulate a clear intention to get the healing you need and deserve. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In his poem “The Initiate,” Charles Simic speaks of “someone who solved life’s riddles in a voice of an ancient Sumerian queen.” I hope you’re not focused on seeking help and revelations from noble and grandiose sources like that, Gemini. If you are, you may miss the useful cues and clues that come your way via more modest informants. So please be alert for the blessings of the ordinary. As you work on solving your quandaries, give special attention to serendipitous interventions and accidental luck. CANCER (June 21-July 22): For many years, the Tobe Zoological Park in China housed a “praying panther” named Ato. The large black feline periodically rose up on her hind legs and put her paws together as if petitioning a higher power for blessings. I suggest we make her your spirit ally in the coming weeks. I hope she’ll inspire you to get your restless mind out of the way as you seek to quench your primal needs. With the praying panther as your muse, you should be able to summon previously untapped reserves of your animal intelligence and cultivate an instinctual knack for knowing where to find raw, pristine satisfaction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do you really have to be the flashy king or charismatic queen of all you survey? Must all your subjects put on kneepads and prostrate themselves as they bask in your glory? Isn’t it enough for you to simply be the master of your own emotions, and the boss of your own time, and the lord of your own destiny? I’m not trying to stifle your ambition or cramp your enthusiasm; I just want to make sure you don’t dilute your willpower by trying to wield command over too wide a swath. The most important task, after all, is to manage your own life with panache and ingenuity. But I will concede this: The coming weeks will be a time when you can also probably get away with being extra worshiped and adored.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): During the four years he worked on painting the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo never took a bath. Was he too preoccupied with his masterpiece? Modern artist Pae White has a different relationship with obsession. To create her fabric art pieces, she has spent years collecting more than 3,500 scarves designed by her favorite scarf-maker. Then there’s filmmaker James Cameron, who hired an expert in linguistics to create an entire new language from scratch for the aliens in his movie *Avatar.* In accordance with the astrological omens, Scorpio, I approve of you summoning this level of devotion -- as long as it’s not in service to a transitory desire, but rather to a labor of love that has the potential to change your life for the better for a long time. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers,” wrote author James Baldwin. Even if you’re not an artist, I encourage you to make that your purpose in the coming weeks. Definitive answers will at best be irrelevant and at worst useless. Vigorous doubt and inquiry, on the other hand, will be exciting and invigorating. They will mobilize you to rebel against any status quos that have been tempting you to settle for mediocrity.
good for another) is in fact so unnatural a phenomenon that it can scarcely repeat itself, the soul being unable to become virgin again and not having energy enough to cast itself out again into the ocean of another’s soul.” My challenge to you, Aquarius -- in accordance with the astrological omens -- is to prove Joyce wrong. Figure out how to make your soul virgin again so it can cast itself out into the ocean of another’s soul. The next eight weeks will be prime time to achieve that glorious feat.
