TRIPLE-DIGIT TEMPS DRY THE RIO GRANDE

We spent some time with We Happy Few, the newest title from Compulsion Games. This dystopic game is like a Bioshockmeets-Orwell nightmare and has a ways to go despite a solid foundation.

BRIEFS

All Kinds of Gloom It’s not all party hearty and “Burn him!” this year. A solemn event is planned for the night before the official Burning of Zozobra. At 6 pm on Sept. 1, the Kiwanis Club of Santa Fe and the Santa Fe Jewish Center–Chabad aim to hold a candlelight vigil in memory of Holocaust victims. This comes as Zozobra enters the 1940s phase of its Decades Project, in which the Kiwanis Club recreates the many looks of Old Man Gloom throughout the years.

Event chairman Ray Sandoval says, “It didn’t feel right as a club to go through the 1940s and really miss a teachable moment for our youngsters about the Holocaust.”

The vigil takes place on the 77th anniversary of the beginning of World War II and the 75th anniversary of the German order for Jews to wear an identifying yellow Star of David.

Is there any concern that tying the burning of Zozobra to the Holocaust might bring up some unfortunate associations?

“I understand that people may get mixed up or get their wires crossed, but that’s not going to stop us from having a teachable moment for our kids,” Sandoval says.

Rabbi Berel Levertov of Chabad helped plan the event the Kiwanis Club. “The 1940s was a difficult time,” Levertov says. “It was definitely a time to get rid of tyrants, and we get rid of them by marking them and by remembering.”

This night of remembrance is followed by what is traditionally thought of as an evening of leaving the past behind. Whether these two concepts can exist simultaneously will be borne out in September. (Andrew Koss)

AirbnFee Starting this week, Santa Fe vacationers who find lodging through the website Airbnb must pay a local bed tax, adding a source of potential revenue that has for years eluded city coffers.

City spokesman Matt Ross says the new regulations, along with gross receipt taxes and inspection fees, are expected to bring in an estimated $650,000 of additional revenue annually. Santa Fe raked in about $9.25 million from lodgers taxes the last fiscal year.

Homeowners who list rooms on the site will be required to apply for permits by Aug. 9, according to tourism director Randy Randall. Those who continue to rent their property out without a permit could face fines.

Officials hope the new regulations will help legitimize a rogue market that has long frustrated local hoteliers who say they’re being punished for following the rules.

Although some Airbnb hosts applied for permits under the city’s short-term rental ordinance, it’s understood that many of the 478 Santa Feans who use

the site for income have operated illegally.

For now, the new requirements do not apply to Santa Fe County residents who list homes outside city limits.

But the county Lodger’s Tax Advisory Board has requested to study the city ordinance and implementation process, according to county spokeswoman Kristine Mihelcic.

Several hosts who spoke with SFR say they welcome the changes.

“I don’t mind paying nor having guests pay taxes that we will all benefit from,” says Rachel Bounds, an artist who lists her single-story home near Museum Hill. As for the inspection process, she says, “I have been told to make sure I have a fire extinguisher.”

Shipwrecked Thornburg Mortgage execs stay afloat against federal charges that followed housing bust

BY GWY N E TH D O LA N D

T

his summer, an anticlimactic epilogue to the financial crisis played out as the government failed to make stick a fraud lawsuit against two of the men who were at the helm of Santa Fe-based Thornburg Mortgage when it hit the rocks in 2007 and slowly sank two years later.

Lawyers for the Securities and Exchange Commission could not persuade a jury that former CEO Larry Goldstone and CFO Clarence G Simmons III misled investors about the seaworthiness of their ship as it began to spring alarming leaks.

The jury deliberated in Albuquerque for several days in late June, but in the end it couldn’t come to a unanimous decision on charges of fraud or lying. It cleared the two on five other counts. The company’s former Chief Accounting Officer Jane E Starrett settled with the SEC in June.

Thornburg’s 2007 torpedoing and subsequent slow sinking was a shock. The company had been a Titanic of the industry, the second-largest independent mortgage company in the US, after Countrywide.

When Thornburg filed for bankruptcy in May 2009 it became one of the 10 biggest bankruptcies in US history, just after Chrysler.

But if the wreck of Thornburg came as a shock, the denouement of this case was not. While the savings-and-loan crisis of the 1980s put more than 1,000 bankers behind bars, only one person has gone to jail for his role in the more recent crisis. One guy. And he was a pretty small fish.

The more common scenario is that financial institutions have settled the lawsuits brought against them by investors and the government. About 50 have done so in the last seven years, but the nearly $200 billion they paid out came from the shareholders’ pockets. For example, the SEC settled with Starrett for a $25,000 fine and a three-year ban on working high-level job in a SEC-regulated firm.

Thornburg was known for dealing in high-dollar “jumbo” mortgages made to people who could afford them. “They weren’t predatory lenders. They were a national firm that did jumbo loans and then put them in private label securities,” says Jim Stretz, who led the New Mexico

Mortgage Finance Authority for 14 years. “You knew when you bought into a pool of Thornburg mortgages that they were underwritten to certain standards.”

Or you thought they were. In 2009, some Thornburg investors filed class action suits saying Thornburg actually didn’t follow its own rules and the investments were riskier than they’d been lead to believe.

Albuquerque attorney William Carpenter helped put together a suit on behalf of a public pension fund in Michigan. (Lawyers out of state eventually took it over.) He recalls collecting evidence that Thornburg was engaging in some of the same risky practices that brought down the industry.

Thornburg was much more liberal in giving out mortgages than they said they were, Carpenter’s clients believed. “There were some examples of giving mortgages to people who were way over their heads.

One was a young couple just out of college and Thornburg mortgaged something like a $2 million home for them,” he tells SFR. The company had kept cash flowing by borrowing money against the mortgages it held—and those mortgages had always been considered, well, safe as houses. But when it became apparent that the market was full of mortgage-backed securities that had been built on a foundation of toxic subprime mortgages, fear began to spread.

As the value of real-estate plunged, in just three months Thornburg was asked to cough up close to $2 billion in margin calls, a mechanism that lets banks collect on the difference between a debt and the value of the asset it’s supposed to pay for. But they didn’t have the money. They were more than $600 million short.

For its part, Thornburg Mortgage maintained that Wall Street screwed the company, and a court-appointed bankruptcy trustee sued several banks along those lines.

In 2014 Barclays Capital settled one of those cases by agreeing to pay $23 million. The suit claimed that Barclays had improperly issued the margin calls, undervalued Thornburg’s collateral, and unfairly seized and sold the

financial instruments that Barclays had financed.

The SEC had argued that Goldstone, Simmons and Starrett knew the company was in trouble but painted a much rosier picture to investors and the public.

“The financial system is based on confidence and when confidence is lost the whole thing collapses,” says William D Cohan, a former investment banker who has written several books about the financial crisis, including House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street.

In the end, Santa Fe took a hit with the closure of the mortgage company and job losses that accompanied it. A separate Thornburg entity in the investment sector remains in business.

The fact that the government failed in its effort to prosecute Thornburg executives comes as no surprise to observers of the financial crisis and its fallout.

“This fits into an overall pattern of behavior that’s quite mysterious, frankly,” says Cohan, who didn’t follow the SEC’s case against the Thornburg executives, but has tracked many others.

“Basically, the government has shied away from bringing these cases to trial because they are complicated,” he says. “There’s been plenty of evidence of wrongdoing, and for some reason they choose either not to bring them, which is astounding, or they lose them, which is equally astounding.”

After the hung jury, the SEC issued a terse statement on the Thornburg case, saying, “We believe strongly in our case and we will continue to explore all options, including a prompt retrial.”

Mistrials have been an uncommon occurrence for the SEC, so it’s possible they will bring the case back and argue it again.

Meanwhile, the country continues to feel the effects of the crash. The effect of the resulting skittishness felt by lenders is most visible on low-income buyers. “We’ve cut a lot of people out of the market who, in the past, could have had the value of home ownership but can’t now,” Stretz says.

Home sales in Santa Fe bottomed out in 2009. Although they have steadily risen since then, they haven’t reached the precrash level.

“If I were to blame anybody, it would be Wall Street,” Stretz says. “They created the environment of easy money and then the crisis cut everything off. The system was cooked.”

Signal Revolt A wireless internet tower allegedly breaks city law, but its owner won’t back down

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

NEWS

BY STEVE N H SI E H @steven j h s i e h

he tower rises 80 feet, overlooking homes and businesses on Apache Street. To passersby, the structure might seem a harmless eyesore, a pillar of crossbeams better fit for an industrial park than a residential area. But the tower has become a source of neighborhood tension, pitting a local internet company against city officials.

When Albert Catanach looks at the tower, he sees an opportunity to grow his wireless internet business. His neighbor fears that the structure poses a potential threat to her home. Santa Fe officials say its mere existence represents a flagrant violation of city law and have filed a lawsuit in district court to stop Catanach from building further.

Catanach applied to install the structure in question on April 9, 2015, after two existing towers on the roof at NMSURF started running out of dish and antenna space. Since his customers depend on that equipment to get online, Catanach says he needs the new tower to grow his company.

Obtaining approval for the structure should have been quick and easy, Catanach says. He pointed to a federal regulation passed in 2012 that allows businesses to combine two or more telecommunications towers with little oversight, so long as the modification does not “substantially change” its dimensions (10 percent or 10 feet).

“Nothing is changing,” Catanach tells SFR. “The only thing that is changing is we are consolidating two towers. We’re getting rid of the all guy wires.

We’re cleaning up, making it look nice.”

The city disagrees with Catanach’s claim that he is merely consolidating the equipment on his roof. Installing a new tower clearly represents a “substantial change,” according to assistant city attorney Zachary

Every other citizen who wants to build an addition to their house or put up a shed needs to go through the process.

Shandler. The city maintains that Catanach should have put his project up for approval with the Planning Commission.

“Every other citizen who wants to build an addition to their house or put up a shed needs to go through the process, and he needs to be treated the same as everybody else,” Shandler tells SFR. There’s another problem. The city claims the new tower violates an ordinance that requires such structures to be as far from the nearest home as they are tall. NMSURF’s new tower is 80 feet tall, but only about 20 feet from the closest neighbor’s property line. Catanach counters that the modification, as he sees it, qualifies for “grandfather” protections, since his rooftop towers have been around for quite some time.

The clashing views reached a crescendo last month when Catanach erected his tower without the city’s permission. Andrea Cypress, who had previously expressed concerns to the city about NMSURF’s existing towers, saw the construction happening and alerted the city again.

Cypress would not speak with SFR on the record, but in a letter to City Manager Brian Snyder, she wrote, “I watched in fright from my living room win-

dow as a group of casual workmen attempted to stand up a tall horizontal structure that I later learned was a cell tower. They tried different ways as it swayed and swung in the air. Very scary. No success.”

City inspectors visited Catanch the same day and asked for a permit. He said he didn’t need one. If the city disagreed, the business owner said, they could sue him.

Eight days later, Shandler filed a lawsuit in district court, asking a judge to force Catanach to desist all work on the tower and allow inspectors to check it out. If he does not comply, the city plans to file a separate case in municipal court, where judges don’t have injunctive relief powers but may impose fines.

Shandler says the city is paying close attention to this case after a similar case last year involving a telecommunications tower owned by Verizon Wireless on Agua Fría, which operated for years without a permit. The city’s Board of Adjustments allowed the company to obtain a permit if it paid hefty fines.

A group of citizens, including Arthur Firstenberg, the man who famously and unsuccessfully sued his neighbor for using an iPhone and wireless internet, appealed that decision in district court. They lost, but only after a prolonged legal battle that the city is not eager to repeat.

Firstenberg, who has become one of the nation’s foremost advocates for an unrecognized medical condition called electromagnetic sensitivity, has not ignored Catanach’s tower. “It is disrespectful of neighbors,” Firstenberg tells SFR. “What the city is doing, instead of working with us, is really disheartening,” Catanach retorts. “Really, when you think about it, we are expanding coverage and bringing broadband to the city and county.

They’re trying to stop this from happening, when it benefits them.”

Catanach declined to tell SFR how many customers pay for his service, but says his system has the range to connect 50,000 homes, from Albuquerque to the southern tip of Tesuque.

He plans to challenge the city’s case in federal court.

HIGH BAR

BY GWYN E T H D O L A N D

N

ew Mexico flunked yet another national report card in 2015, this one on the risk of government corruption. But one shiny, bright little good thing stood out in the rating by the Center for Public Integrity: our judicial branch.

I was the nerdy journalist who collected all our state’s data for the project. Trial lawyers, law professors, other reporters, members of various commissions and published reports all told me the same thing: New Mexico does a pretty good job with the judges in its high courts.

Look at the picture of our state Supreme Court justices on the next page. What an amazing picture of diversity! For the first time in history, New Mexico has a female majority on the court. More than half its members are women and more than half are Hispanic. (It’s notable especially because other courts in the country are notable for not reflecting the makeup of their communities.)

New Mexico has a unique way of filling the seats on its top courts, part of a larger system of reform structures put in place over a decades-long effort to improve public confidence in the judicial branch.

Largely it’s worked (ranked third in the nation), but in the years since these various commissions and systems were created, the ground has shifted.

Years of gridlock in Washington encouraged people looking to affect change to seek opportunities elsewhere. Since 2000 (and more so since the Citizens United decision in 2010), spending on judicial races has increased markedly—especially from right-leaning groups.

So far, New Mexico’s courts have not become the focus of this kind of political warfare or spending, but they could be. Weak campaign finance laws and voter apathy have left the doors wide open.

“When the federal government is at a standstill, suddenly state politics is where everything happens,” says UNM political science professor Lonna Atkeson.

With little risk and plenty of potential for reward, interest groups began to attack the ivory towers where impartial, independent jurists were supposed to be deciding important issues without regard to current events or politics.

New Mexico’s judiciary gets good marks for integrity and independence, but reformers say more is needed to get money and politics out of the state’s highest courts

That’s probably not how it ever really worked, but it’s certainly not how some people want it to work now.

Creating and running a political ad attacking a judge for particular decisions is cheaper and more effective than campaign contributions or lobbying.

And elected state lawmakers and governors have joined the effort to target state courts in the ways they can, such as by threatening their funding.

Take Kansas, for example. Kansas is one of an increasing number of states in which one party (in this case, Republican) controls the governor’s office and both houses of the legislature. But the Kansas Supreme Court still has a majority of justices who were chosen by former Democratic governor Kathleen Se-

They’ve started spending money on courts because courts decide cases related to things like labor and the environment that have a direct impact on their business.

belius. That sets the stage for what The New Yorker described as “The Political War Against the Kansas Supreme Court,” as waged by the trifecta of Republican Gov. Sam Brownback and the Republican-led House and Senate.

So when Kansas’ highest court issued a ruling its governor and legislature didn’t like (about public school financing), the other two branches took a threatening swipe at the court by passing a law that took away its authority over lower courts.

The Kansas Supreme Court called their bluff and ruled that the law stripping the court’s authority was unconstitutional. In response, the legislature backed down.

New Mexico hasn’t had a political trifecta since the administration of former Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson, which ended with the election of Susana Martinez in 2010. Republicans know well its effects. But liberals in the state Senate and elsewhere shouldn’t be complacent. The 2014 Republican sweep of the state House showed everyone how quickly decades of stasis can change.

War between the branches of state government is erupting elsewhere, too. In 2014, the lieutenant governor of Tennessee called on conservatives nationwide to help unseat three judges, appointed by a previous Democratic governor, whom they saw as too liberal on the death penalty and not friendly enough to business.

What would normally have been an uneventful retention election turned into a media war that saw more than $1 million spent on the races. In the end, voters decided to let all three keep their seats, but the election marked a sea change.

In 2015, a retention election for three Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices set a record for spending in judicial elections at more than $15 million—$3.5 million of which came from independent groups. That year, judicial elections in 19 states generated nearly $35 million in spending.

New Mexico is “more insulated than what you’ve seen in other states where, in response to some controversial decisions, political actors have tried to replace judges with people who would issue decisions more in their favor,” says Heather Ferguson, legislative director for Common Cause, who has recently been researching judicial reform.

“It became a new mantra of these groups to say, ‘Hey! These judicial races are cheap!’ So they’ve started spending money on courts because courts decide cases related to things like labor and the environment that have a direct impact on their business,” Ferguson says.

The reason New Mexico scored well on that State Integrity Report is because of policies such as meritbased selection, retention elections after appointment, performance evaluations, ethics reporting and public financing. Taken together, these five things add up to a strong system of creating and maintaining a judiciary that is an independent check on the other two branches, just as this country’s founders, paranoid as they were, thought was necessary to prevent the tyranny of any one branch. But the system is not infallible.

HIGH BAR The idea is that a diverse, bipartisan group is most likely to choose a candidate based simply on how well the group thinks the candidate can do the job. It is intended to prevent governors from giving away prominent judgeships to friends and cronies.

Yet, several loopholes keep money and politics playing a significant role in the way judges are chosen.

For one thing, New Mexico’s twist on the Missouri Plan is that state-level judges must compete in a partisan election after they’re appointed. And Democratic Supreme Court candidates have won every single one of those partisan elections for the past 35 years. Republicans have been appointed to the court, but none survived a partisan election since 1980.

PUBLIC FINANCING IS SUCCESSFUL New Mexico’s public financing system for judicial races was intended to shore up the independence of state judges and remove any question that money paid for influence.

“The public wants to know that their Supreme Court justices are not beholden to a corporation in any way, so public financing can help rebuild public trust in our judicial system,” says Ferguson.

In 2014 it saw its first big success when Miles Hanissee became the first candidate for the Court of Appeals to win a race using public financing. The Public Election Fund, which is fed by things like people’s abandoned bank accounts, gave Hanisee and his opponent around $30,000 and $45,000, respectively (based on the number of registered voters in their parties). They each got about $200,000 more for the general election. And they spent it all.

Over the past decade, races for the state’s top courts have hovered around a lid of about $250,000.

This year two candidates are tapping into the public financing system to run campaigns before the upcoming November general election. They’ve reported getting a little more than $200,000 each.

Much of that money will go to advertising. One of the candidates has already reserved more than $100,000 worth of television ad time for the fall; he’s planning to air more than 400 ads on five stations in the three weeks before the election.

MERIT-BASED SELECTION STILL INVOLVES POLITICS Judicial reform advocates have long held that the best possible way to select judges is the Missouri Plan, named for the first state to use a system in which a nominating commission drafts a binding list of names from which the governor may choose, and then that appointee must face periodic retention elections.

New Mexico has been progressive in adopting judicial reforms over the past decades. These systems are part of the reason why the state ranks highly for the quality of its judiciary: • Merit-based selection. An independent, bipartisan Judicial Nominating Commission is designed to ensure that judges are appointed based on qualifications, not favoritism. It solicits applications, interviews candidates and then presents the governor a list of qualified, vetted candidates from which the governor can choose.

• Nonpartisan elections. Justices appointed to the Supreme Court have to face one initial partisan election. After that they must earn 57 percent of the vote in periodic retention elections, which give the public the power to remove a judge in whom they’ve lost confidence.

• Performance evaluation. In order to give the public information about which judges to retain, the Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission regularly conducts surveys and interviews judges and recommends the public not retain judges performing far below par.

• Public financing. Statewide judicial candidates can to tap into a public financing system that’s supposed to limit the influence of money in these races.

• Ethics oversight. New Mexico has no statewide ethics body to deal with complaints about state lawmakers or the governor, but the Judicial Standards Commission investigates every allegation against judges and recommends discipline, removal or retirement.

COURTESY NMCOURTS.GOV

MONEY STILL INFLUENCES ELECTIONS The fact that public financing has put a pause on some spending is a good thing, say campaign finance reform advocates. But there’s a giant hole in that fence: money spent by outside groups who want to influence the election but don’t give the money to the candidates or coordinate with them.

New Mexico’s campaign finance laws haven’t been updated to require that those groups disclose how they’re spending the money—or to make it clear exactly what “coordinating” means. So the millions of dollars spent by outside groups on that Pennsylvania Supreme Court race? That could happen here, and we wouldn’t even know who spent the money.

“Outside spending is a game changer at all levels, and we’ve been lucky not to have this dark money pour into our judicial races yet,” says state Sen. Peter Wirth, D-Santa Fe. “It’s just a matter of time.”

Wirth, who has long championed campaign finance reform in the Legislature, says it’s a good thing that public financing can limit the amount of money spent on judicial races. However, he warns that limiting spending by the candidates can invite spending by outside groups.

The pattern in New Mexico is that more and more money is being spent on elections.

“It’s just a matter of time before we see a $1 millionplus judicial race,” Wirth says. “We’re now seeing that in the legislative races and five, 10 years ago you never would have seen that.”

Also, justices retire when they want to retire and that’s not necessarily when it’s most convenient to start the process for replacing them.

State Supreme Court Justice Patricio Serna announced in June 2012 that he would leave in August of that year, and it seemed that Republican Gov. Susana Martinez would have her first opportunity to appoint someone to the court. Except that Serna’s retirement came too late in the year for candidates to have participated in the June primary. According to our system, the political parties chose candidates in September for the November general election ballot.

That meant that voters in 2012 had very little time to hear about the candidates before being asked to choose one.

Republican Paul Kennedy lost the race that year to Democrat Barbara Vigil, and if the pattern holds true,

“Once you [win] that election you’re pretty much solid,” says state Sen. Joseph Cervantes, D-Doña Ana, an attorney who has tried many cases in state courts.

Cervantes tried but failed to persuade the Legislature to let appointed judges serve for a year before being required to run for election.

“It doesn’t do the public any good to evaluate a judge based on a few months’ service,” Cervantes says. Besides, it’s hard to recruit candidates who will have to abandon their law practices, give away cases and lay off employees, only to serve a few months before losing an election, he says.

But Senate Majority Floor Leader Michael Sanchez disagrees. He argues that partisan elections give more power to the public by making them a bigger part of the process.

“People need to hear the judges for themselves, assess their demeanor, temperament and knowledge of the law and make an informed decision,” Sanchez says.

Despite appearances, he thinks nominating committees are rife with

Republican Supreme Court Justice Judith Nakamura, appointed last fall and sworn in mid-December, will likely lose to her Democratic opponent, Court of Appeals Judge Michael Vigil.

In these partisan elections, especially those that give the candidates little time, money and connections can make a huge difference.

“One of the challenges of public financing is that when judges retire at the last minute, the person who’s appointed to take their place is immediately kicked into an election cycle and typically they don’t have enough time to qualify for public financing,” Ferguson says.

So that part of the system favors candidates with the best political connections, the best ability to raise a lot of money fast and the most support from outside groups with a lot of money to spend on their behalf.

And those partisan elections often include candidates that meet the state’s minimum requirements but haven’t been through the Judicial Nominating Commission’s vetting process.

Medically-Assisted Suicide The state Supreme Court decided in June that the state Constitution does not guarantee the right of terminally ill patients to die with a doctor’s help. The court said the issue should be decided by the Legislature; one state representative has already said he will introduce such a bill.

Same-Sex Marriage New Mexico became the 17th state to allow same-sex marriage when the court ruled in 2013 that it is unconstitutional to deny the right of marriage to gay and lesbian couples.

Abortion A 1998 ruling said the state must pay for medically necessary abortions for poor women, citing New Mexico’s Equal Rights Amendment.

The ruling made New Mexico the 16th state to require such abortions be paid for with state Medicaid funds.

New Mexico v. Brown Bail Reform The Supreme Court’s 2014 decision that said judges can’t set bail based on the severity of the crime, but must instead look at the defendant’s potential threat or flight risk, resulted in a constitutional amendment that will be on the ballot in November. He asks voters to allow judges more flexibility on bail. “There is nothing I’ve done or will do on the court that is going to be a more important improvement of justice than getting this amendment passed,” Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles Daniels said in July.

LeROY SANCHEZ

HIGH BAR

While New Mexico’s court is majority female now, Justice Judith Nakamura, far left, faces retention in November. Already, her challenger has reserved more than $100,000 worth of TV ad time.

politics and behind-the-scenes deal-making.

“At least the election process is transparent. The people may vote for this guy because he’s Republican or that guy because he’s a Democrat, but at least it’s out in the open. It isn’t phone calls [between commission members] saying, ‘If you vote for my guy here I’ll vote for your guy there.’”

Cervantes says a lot of people who would make great judges just want to be judges.

“I’ve tried to recruit them, that’s their concern: They don’t want to be politicians,” he says.

The American Bar Association has argued that while yes-or-no, nonpartisan retention elections give the public the opportunity to remove a problem judge, partisan elections only serve to introduce more politics into the system.

And elections can have a serious impact on the people who come before the courts. A Brennan Center review of research on the impact of elections on judges’ decision-making found that judges are more harsh toward defendants in criminal cases when they’re facing an election—and one can imagine the prospect that critics will pounce on the opportunity to run a campaign ad calling them soft on crime.

Besides, it would be foolish to think that judges are political eunuchs, says Paul Gessing of the free market Rio Grande Foundation.

“Courts are going to be political animals,” he says.

“More often than not, judges are going to come in with preconceived notions and they’re going to judge them based on those notions instead of calling balls and strikes according to the law. That’s the same here and across the country.”

MERIT DOESN’T ALWAYS EQUAL DIVERSITY Diversity is a problem in state-level courts across the country, where women make up just slightly more than a quarter of judges and less than 10 percent are people of color. A 2010 survey found that more than half of state supreme courts were made up entirely of white justices.

Critics say one unintended consequence of a system like New Mexico’s—asking judges to apply and

then having a commission pick candidates based on merit—is that the end result can be an awful lot of white guys in black robes.

But that’s not what the New Mexico Supreme Court looks like today.

“I think we do a pretty good job of diversity in New Mexico,” Sen. Wirth says. “We have a Latina governor, a huge percentage of Hispanics in our Legislature, and I think it’s fantastic that two of our Santa Fe judges,

People lead busy lives and it’s unique and rare that any member of the public would have time to research any of the judicial candidates.

both Hispanic women, are part of a majority on the Supreme Court.”

Although the diversity of New Mexico’s Supreme Court looks good now and the state looks good compared to others, the New Mexico judiciary fails to mirror the population of the state as a whole, according to an analysis of the “Gavel Gap” by the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy.

Women of color make up more than 30 percent of New Mexicans, yet they’re only 15 percent of judges; meanwhile, white men are only 20 percent of the New Mexico population but nearly 40 percent of judges.

TURNOUT IS TERRIBLE The biggest problem with judicial elections is that voter participation tends to be terrible. On the one hand, polls show American voters generally like the idea of being able to participate in the selection of judges by voting.

On the other hand, having a bunch of judges running in retention elections makes the ballot longer. That’s a problem for several reasons, according to UNM political science professor Lonna Atkeson, who has been doing research on local elections, including voter surveys, since 2006.

First, voters don’t like it when a ballot is long.

In Atkeson’s 2014 survey of Bernalillo County voters, about 70 percent thought the ballot was too long.

That year, nearly a quarter of voters said they didn’t fill out the entire ballot.

What did they skip? The retention questions. Respondents said they didn’t have enough information about how to vote on the judges.

“People lead busy lives and it’s unique and rare that any member of the public would have time to research any of the judicial candidates,” Ferguson says. “You want the ability to remove someone from the bench if they’re not doing their job, but how many people do you know who actually have any knowledge of who they’re voting for?”

VOTER GUIDES MATTER How the heck are you supposed to know whether to vote yes or no on a judge you’ve never heard of?

The Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission interviews judges and collects surveys before recommending that they be retained or not. That information ends up online and in voter guides like those published by the League of Women Voters.

It’s important to look at those recommendations because voting on judges is important, says Peter Simonson, the executive director of the ACLU of New Mexico. “These are the folks who are going to be deciding longstanding conditional questions that could well influence your quality of life and, ultimately, your freedom.”

FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY Utility and ornament are partners sometimes, as is the case with the Pueblo canteens on display at Steve Elmore Art in a show titled Carrying the Water, opening Friday. The canteens are “a true ethnographic original creation of Pueblo pottery and have been around for over 1,000 years,” says Steve Elmore, gallery owner and curator of the show. Elmore tells SFR the canteens were “not cherished objects, but daily items of use.” And that not-cherished bit is something he appreciates. “They were making something beautiful for their everyday use,” he says. “We are going to celebrate the functionality of the canteens and how they are just a really great original ceramic art form.” (Maria Egolf-Romero)

With This Path Tonight, Nash marches forward into the unknown while still taking time to reflect on the past, like in the song “Golden Days,” which recalls his early rock career with The Hollies in the ’60s.

Longtime CSN tour guitarist Shane Fontayne joins Nash for his solo tour, which Nash calls a “simple, heartwarming show. In this time of complete madness, between climate change and terrorism and Donald Trump, come and have a couple hours of peace.” (Andrew Koss)

Cohen’s works are the earliest examples of computer-generated artworks on display at the gallery.

Graham Nash sets out to mark a milestone in his life with his new album, This Path Tonight. At 74 years old, the rock legend ventures into fresh musical and personal territory.

“My life has changed completely,” he tells SFR. “This album is my emotional journey right now.”

A recent feud between Nash and David Crosby leaves the future of Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young) at a crossroads. It’s clear that Nash has already taken off in a new direction. “If CSNY is over after all these years, then so be it,” he says.

Without the rancor of constant rock ‘n’ roll drama, Nash is free to define himself as an individual, but he’s actually been doing so for decades.

Besides his six solo albums, Nash also boasts an impressive photography portfolio and helped start the digital revolution in fine art printing in the 1990s with Nash Editions. In 2013, he released his autobiography, Wild Tales: A Rock & Roll Life, documenting his time in The Hollies, CSN and beyond.

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

Battle of Hastings Are you really going to tell me you’re upset over this store closing? Please.

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

W

ell boo-fucking-hoo—Hastings Entertainment is closing come October. It’s just in time for those weird seasonal Halloween stores to appear from the mists of God-knows-where and sell all that supercheap spook-stuff to everyone, but here’s the real kicker: All kinds of people I know are losing their shit.

This is odd to me, not just because most of my friends are what you might call “punk rock” types who all have a strong sense of morality and no small amount of “Shop local or forever be kicked out of punk club!” attitude, but also because—and let’s just be real here—Hastings has sucked for basically a bazillion years. And it’s not just in how its record buyers—and I mean vinyl—were pricing things with seemingly no system whatsoever ($9.99 for the seven-thousandth pressing of some Dolly Parton nonsense is so effing baffling, despite Dolly’s very obvious awesomeness).

It’s not in the way its used video games were so much more expensive than literally every other place in town. It’s not in how CDs are basically obsolete at this point, but that almost doesn’t matter because unless you’re into Linkin Park, Hastings wasn’t the place for you anyway. It isn’t even in the way that we all sat idly by while Hastings tried, in vain, to win back our affection by transforming into what could most aptly be described as some sort of Spencer’s Jr. complete with all the dumbass “funny” coffee mugs and Frisbee golf discs and third-rate skateboarding stuff that entails.

It’s in how everyone spent the last however-many years Netflix-ing and Amazon Prime-ing it up at home and are somehow surprised by this closure. You’ve no one to blame but yourselves.

And really, Santa Fe, you don’t have to worry. The way I see it, this is a good thing. Perhaps independent booksellers like Collected Works (202 Galisteo St.,

988-4226) or op.cit (157 Paseo de Peralta, 4280321) can thrive better now that Hastings is in its final phase of extinction. Maybe locally owned record stores like The Good Stuff (401 W San Francisco St., 795-1939) or The Guy in the Groove (inside A Sound Look, 502 Cerrillos Road, 983-5509) will have more of a fighting chance to succeed. Ditto for Video Library (839 Paseo de Peralta, 983-3321).

Hell, we might even wind up with some new businesses that help fill the void. Sure, you’ll have to start buying your Dr. Who pint glasses and Star Wars bobbleheads online, but if you’re really going to sit here and tell me that the loss of Hastings is some kind of unthinkable horror that you only wish you could’ve somehow prevented, I’m gonna call you a liar and point to how even its former CEO, John Marmaduke, had the good sense to ditch the company and retire with a cool $1.5 million in 2014.

And I know you weren’t there, too, because I’ve spent many a last-minute Christmas Eve and countless “I’ve got to kill a half hour before my pretentious art film begins at the DeVargas theater!” experiences in the store, and I’ve very rarely seen anyone I know (with respect to a few people whom I know spent time and money there).

To me, this kind of armchair activism reeks of that thing people do where they announce on Facebook that they’re mad about something-or-other from their high horse, then dust off their hands like they’ve actually accomplished something. Fact is, if you had really wanted to save Hastings, you probably would

have shopped there more. So it goes. Change, I suppose, is inevitable.

In the meantime, let’s gut that motherfucker! The closer it gets to October, the cheaper everything is going to become, I assume. I’ve got my fingers crossed for the one Futurama box set I don’t own, even though the whole series is on Netflix (I’m a completionist like that) and a handful of video games I’d like to play again. I’m pretty sure my dumb friends will scour their vinyl for blink-182 remasters and Coheed and Cambria shit, too.

To the employees who will lose their jobs, I do offer my sincere condolences, even though I’m pretty sure Hastings couldn’t have paid very well. I am sure you’ll probably do better someplace else, and you should want more out of your life than Hastings, anyway.

Good luck to you people — I truly mean that.

As for the rest of you, just shut up. Enough already.

You can’t possibly actually care, even if you did shop there for years. Where were you when The Candyman had to restructure and ditch their record component or when Ear Shot was forced to close? I guess Facebook wasn’t a thing quite yet back then, but I bet if I were to scour MySpace or Friendster or your embarrassing LiveJournal accounts (which I won’t do because, man, I just … I mean, who has the energy?), there would be similarly sad blog posts written about how even though you hadn’t shopped there much in however long, you were totally gonna miss those places ... if only you had had the fortitude to do something.

If only we all had. God, I’m tired. Let’s all take naps.

Samuel Barber’s Wintry Tale

KEN HOWARD

OPERA

A new face at SFO

F

BY JOH N STEG E

rankly, Mr. MacKay, it’s high time the Santa Fe Opera company got around to Samuel Barber and Gian Carlo Menotti’s looking-for-love-in-all-the-wrong-places opus, Vanessa. It nearly didn’t happen. As the general director explained, SFO’s 60th season planned to feature the world premiere of a work by Mason Bates, The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs. Progress turned out to be a mite slow, so it was cancelled for 2016­—but it’s happening next season for sure. That meant a vacancy in this summer’s repertory, one quickly resolved.

“Eureka!” exclaimed Charles MacKay. “SFO’s never done Barber’s opera, one I know and deeply love. Vanessa it is!” And so it came to pass last Saturday night, the company premiere of a wintry tale starring that lovesick Baroness, and Erika, her unhappy niece, and her stern, silent mother, the Old Baroness.

Don’t anticipate smiles of a summer night.

Expect a searing dysfunctional family drama ever since Vanessa’s ecstatic reception at the Metropolitan Opera in January 1958. Puzzling, though, the relative infrequency of productions since then. Barber revised the piece for a Met revival in 1965, combining the first two acts into one and ditching an ill-considered coloratura aria. Even so, it’s a bit of a rarity despite its remarkable merits, and we’re mighty happy to make Vanessa’s acquaintance at last in SFO’s hyper-elegant new production.

Much of the blame for the opera’s sporadic appearance gets laid upon Menotti’s libretto. The action is set in “a Northern country” around 1905, its atmosphere borrowed from Danish author, Isak Dinesen, whose Seven Gothic Tales merit a pleasurable, spooky reread. Some critics complain that this American opera is therefore somehow “un-American.” Such xenophobic balderdash—although it must be said that Menotti provides more than a few over-ripe tropes.

But listen up, buffs. It’s all about the music. Barber’s deep understanding of the human voice, his rich and complex orchestration, the originality of his neoRomantic score despite his use of “old-fashioned” operatic techniques—arias and trios and an astounding quintet. All these place Vanessa among the great achievements of American music from the last century.

Vanessa’s a tight-knit ensemble opera, the sort of thing that SFO usually knocks out of the park, which is exactly what happened last Saturday night. And which also makes it difficult to single out specific artists. Still, first among equals would be Erin Wall in

Vanessa is so intense that even the performers need to steady themselves against opulent doors and such.

the title role, an enactment part Miss Havisham, part Norma Desmond—of a woman who’s been frozen in time for 20 years, neurotically awaiting the return of her former lover, Anatol. Spooky’s the word.

Best known here for her Strauss heroines, Wall fills the theater with an opulent, large voice, easy in the big climactic moments, adept in the myriad subtleties of her romantic delusions. Her manner projects tortured longing and blind passion, typified in Vanessa’s showpiece aria, “Do not say a word, Anatol.”

As Erika, her niece and victim of Anatol’s doubtful affection, mezzo Virginie Verrez makes a gratifying SFO debut. Her trademark aria, “Must winter come so soon,” rings with a fresh vocal intelligence that informs her presence throughout as the opera’s most sympathetic character. She’s called a “wounded bird,” but her demeanor is much more than that.

Then there’s that Anatol, finally arriving at the frosty, false world of a deluded Vanessa. Only now it’s the ur-Anatol’s son, false Anatol in a labored allusion from Boris Godunov. Zach Borichevsky smokes and sprawls about the stage as caddish seducer of Erika and self-interested suitor of Vanessa. He’s physically convincing, with an insinuating tenor that gets him where he wants to be. The imposing duet with Vanessa, “Love has a bitter core, Vanessa,” betrays vocal strain from both parties.

James Morris, the definitive Wotan of our time and a SFO apprentice 47 (!) years back, sings the im-

portant role of the Old Doctor: humorous, fallible, a warm heart amid the chilly reaches of an icy tale. In the smaller but vital role of the imperious, largely silent Old Baroness, Helene Schneiderman commands our attention with her smallest gesture. Andrew Bogard plays the effective Major-Domo.

Familiar from his definitive 2004 recording of the opera, Leonard Slatkin leads his principals, large orchestra and chorus with surpassing skill and minute attention to Barber’s sweeping score. Director James Robinson presides over an action and a decor that takes us back to the moody, monochrome elegance of a never-never celluloid world, circa 1932. Massive set pieces glide silently into place, shifting from salon to reception room to stylized forest with ominous grace.

Allen Moyer’s whiteness-is-all designs combine film-studio Baroque with an unsettling Expressionism—mirrors everywhere—and the sumptuous costumes by James Schuette, sophisticated hues of grays and whites and taupes and mauves, evoke a lost world peopled by Dinesen’s imaginary wraiths. Sharply dramatic lighting by Christopher Akerlind accentuates the Nordic action.

At opera’s end, pale walls close around the Old Baroness and Erica, silently lamenting her lost unborn child, both women frozen into a wintry prison-house of empty expectation. Shakespeare’s Mamillius, another fictional lost child, puts the matter simply: “A sad tale’s best for winter.”

THE CALENDAR

I can’t believe this is why I’m finally writing you. My husband is using Pokémon GO as an excuse to stay out until 5:00 a.m. with another woman. She is beautiful and about a decade younger than him, and he won’t hear me out on why this is bothersome. Our work schedules don’t match up, and he always wants me to meet him in the wee hours of the morning after I’ve worked a full day shift and done all the work looking after our pets. I can give him the benefit of the doubt and be totally fine with him wanting to stay out after work for a few drinks with friends, even though I’m too tired to join them, but Pokémon GO until 5:00 a.m. alone with a twentysomething for four straight weeks?! It’s driving me crazy. I told him how I feel, and he says it’s my fault for “never wanting to do anything.” (I don’t consider walking around staring at a phone “doing something.”) I told him I feel like he doesn’t even like me anymore, and he didn’t even acknowledge my feelings with a response. With the craze this has become, we can’t be the only couple with this problem. I don’t think me enabling his actions by joining the game is the answer, but I’d be absolutely gutted if this game was the straw that broke up our 10-year relationship. Please help.

-Pokémon GO Means No Second Life, SimCity, Quake, Counter-Strike, World of Warcraft, Minecraft—it’s always something.

By which I mean to say, PGMN, Pokémon GO isn’t destroying your marriage now, just as SimCity wasn’t destroying marriages 15 years ago. Your husband is destroying your marriage. He’s being selfish and inconsiderate and cruel. He doesn’t care enough about you to prioritize your feelings—or even acknowledge them, it seems.

When a partner’s actions are clearly saying, “I’m choosing this thing—this video game, this bowling league, this whatever—over you,” they’re almost always saying this, as well: “I don’t want to be with you anymore, but I don’t have the courage or the decency to leave so I’m going to neglect you until you get fed up and leave me.”

Let him have his ridiculous obsessions— with this game, with this girl—and when he comes to his senses and abandons Pokémon GO, just like people came to their senses and walked away from Second Life a decade ago, you’ll be in a better position to decide whether you want to leave him.

I am currently separated. A few months after I moved out, my estranged wife found out that I cheated on her before we got married.

I was a CPOS. I feel horribly guilty and would like to think I’ll never do it again. The question is: When and what should I disclose to future partners?

-No Clever Acronym There’s no need to disclose this to future partners. Everyone makes mistakes—and the mistake you made, while a deeply painful betrayal of your then-girlfriend and presumably a violation of a premarital monogamous commitment, is a thoroughly common one. Human beings aren’t used cars—we aren’t obligated to disclose every ditch we drove ourselves into before we resell ourselves. You didn’t fuck around on your ex habitually, you’re not a serial cheater, and you never violated your marriage vows. So there’s that. Resolve not to make this mistake again—make only new ones—and stuff that incident down Ye Olde Memory Hole.

were shaped by previous (fun) experiences with them. But the sex wasn’t good this time. That would be fine—sometimes it just doesn’t work, and I am an adult about it—but for the specific reason it wasn’t good: The husband came on my face after I specifically told him not to do that. I used my words. He still blew a load in my face and then sheepishly kinda apologized afterwards. He said he didn’t mean to do it and that he was aiming at my boobs. I do not believe it for a second. It was an “ask for forgiveness, not for permission” kind of thing—I could see that on his face. He looooves facials. So that sealed my decision to not sleep with them again, which I told them about. I consider a load in my face against my will to be a big violation of my trust/friendship. The couple thinks I’m overreacting and that a load in your face should be a forgivable offense. I’m not going to change my mind, but I am curious what you think about sneaky facials.

-Unwanted Semen Angers!

Unicorn Seeking Advice!

Sneaky facials are sneaky, and I don’t approve of sneakiness in the sack. People should be straightforward and direct; they should communicate their wants, needs, and limits clearly; and we should all err on the side of solicitousness, i.e., drawing new sex partners out about their wants, needs, and limits, because some folks have a hard time using their words where sex is concerned.

You used your words, USA!USA!, and this dude violated your clearly communicated wants, needs, and limits. I’m glad you let them know you were upset and why you weren’t going to see them again. Single women who want to hook up with married couples are hard to come by and in—that’s why you’re called unicorns—and his selfish disregard for your limits, his clear violation of your trust, cost them a unicorn.

I have two questions. (1) I saw a sex worker for a legit sensual massage that turned into fooling around. Once that happened, he mentioned “making” straight guys have sex with him, wanting to give massages to teenagers, and he talked dirty about younger boys. I know this could all be provocative fantasy talk, but I had a weird feeling about him before meeting.

Who would I even disclose this to if that were the right thing to do, and how would I do so while protecting his (should be legal) right to trade ass for cash? (2) Furthermore, I’m a thirsty genderqueer girl plotting her escape from a suburban town. I’m not going to be here long enough to look for an LTR. How can I satisfy my lust safely? It seems like every time I hook up with someone, they disclose intense drug use or other risky behavior after the fact.

-Fantasizing Lecherously About Good Sex (1) There’s no licensing board for sex workers—there’s no accrediting organization, no sex-work equivalent of the legal profession’s bar association (and most sex workers would oppose the establishment of one)—so there’s nowhere you can go to report this guy. If he confessed to an actual crime, FLAGS, you could go to the police, and they might even do something about it. But the police are unlikely to get involved if he was just fantasizing; it’s not against the law to engage in dirty talk, even extremely fucked up/ickily transgressive/NOT OKAY dirty talk.

(2) Masturbation is the safest way to satisfy your lust until you get your ass out of that druggy suburb full of risky-sex junkies and to the big city, where we urbanites drink only hot tea, snort only in derision, and use only condoms religiously.

Singer-songwriter Tiffany Christopher ditched the Midwest for southern New Mexico about three years ago, and in that time she’s honed a unique style of folk, hip-hop, loops, pop-rock and beyond. She’s a one-woman band who has taught workshops, released albums and toured extensively.

We think that’s cool, so we caught up with her ahead of her August 3 show at Cowgirl (319 S Guadalupe St., 982-2565). (Alex De Vore) Santa Fe has a lot of singer-songwriter options. Why should we be at your show?

The show is very dynamic. I play a bunch of instruments at once, and people seem to be captivated by the songs.

They really like the original songs; the show is highenergy and always on the edge of something exploding.

I don’t think people are used to looping outside of certain genres. What’s that reaction like?

I don’t want the looping to be a gimmick. I want it to serve the music and I want a lot of colors on my palette.

The show changes a bunch and there’s no pre-recorded material, so everything is happening very organically.

When I was starting to teach workshops, I really had to think about how it broke down to the more scientific process. ... I feel like people can hear the arrangements —they’re very strong. I rock people’s faces off. I rap sometimes. I’ll do ballads.

When does your new album come out?

This tour is going to be the release for the album. It’ll be like a soft release. It’s being mastered today, actually. It’s called Tremendous Heart. I’ve reached out to see about digipacks—like, physical copies, but it’ll be available digitally and I want to have it avilable for people. I’ve got a lot of hardcore fans, so I want to have more ways for them to support that’s more than to just buy a CD and a T-shirt. ... I keep thinking I want to just record straight to tape, live.

15 Minutes with a WorldBuilder

MARIA EGOLF-ROMERO

A&C

SFR: What do you love about creating for the Santa Fe Opera?

Hoheisel: I think it’s a very professional company, which is of course the most important thing, particularly for designers. The workshops are very good. And, it’s in the most beautiful place in the world.

Do you feel like you get to create another world in what you do?

Certainly a world — a world where the piece can unfold, and that’s very much what I think we should do: take the clue from, I would call it, within the piece and create the world with our imagination and our ideas about it. But within is where I think it important to come from, rather than outside.

Tell me about your design process.

Do you draw everything out?

The process involves the designer and director working together. You talk about the piece, you listen to it together. You sort of talk about it and tell each other about it. Out of that, certainly, come some ideas. I do indeed sit down and sketch. I normally start with the space rather than the costumes. For the set I do, myself, a very small scale

If St. Peter says they don’t have sandwiches like this when you reach the pearly gates, turn around. You’re in the wrong place.

Capriccio’s set and costume designer tells SFR about his process

obias Hoheisel’s path to set and costume designing for opera houses around the world was not a wayward one; it’s what he’s wanted since he was 12 years old. After attending design school in Berlin, he jumped straight into the opera world and has designed productions for Opera National de Paris, the Royal National Theater, Deutsche Opera, New York City Opera and the San Francisco Opera (to name a few). In 2001, his production of Henze’s Boulevard Solitude won the Laurence Olivier Award for best opera production.

Hoheisel recently sat down with SFR ahead of the July 23 opening night of Capriccio, his fourth production in his third season at the Santa Fe Opera.

STREET FOOD INSTITUTE

Thank you for your support Santa Fe!

Hoheisel wears his aesthetic soul on his sleeve.

of what I call a sketch model where the sketch is actually transferred into three dimensions. With costumes, I do research. I’m not a great believer in, sort of, getting piles and piles and piles of research. I do draw my costumes and drawing them is really sort of creating them. I don’t sit down and draw what I already know. It is informed by what you’ve looked at and what you’ve talked about and then you have a vague idea. But I can only speak for myself. I have to sit down and literally draw it. I would say the costume, depending on what it is, takes between three and six hours each individual sketch.

What made you want to do Capriccio?

It’s a very, very unusual opera. Strauss doesn’t even call it opera; he calls it a conversation piece. It’s an opera about music and words, so an opera about opera. It has always the prejudice that it is sort of brainy and wordy, it’s not an easy piece for an audience who doesn’t understand the language in which it’s sung. So what I hope is that the way we are doing the piece, even for an audience which does not understand every word, they will get a flavor and enjoyment out of this very witty discussion about whether the words or the music is more important.

What are you hoping people will walk away with?

What I hope, and what one always hopes doing something like this, is that an audience will sort of enjoy and get excited by what we do. And you can only do that if you’ve got a strong belief in the piece. I think if you don’t believe in the piece, you should not touch it, or at least that’s my conviction. You want your excitement about Mozart or Strauss, Wagner or whatever, to feed into your work and then equally excite, entertain and engage the audience.

Everything Passes, Nothing Lasts

BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

fter more than two decades as one of Santa Fe’s favorite Asian restaurants, Mu Du Noodles closed last weekend. I caught owner Mu Jing Lau in a philosophical mood a few days before the last night of service.

SFR: Mu! I heard you’re closing and I wanted to talk to you for a thing in the paper, to let everyone know what you’re up to.

MJL: Are you sure you have time for this? We don’t really have to do it.

JOY GODFREY

Yes, Mu. People love you. They want to know what’s going on with you. They’re going to miss you!

There isn’t much to talk about.

Mu Jing Lau looks back on 20 years of Mu Du Noodles

Well, I think there are a lot of people in Santa Fe who are about your age and many of them are retiring or embarking on a new chapter of their lives, wondering what they’re going to do next, and they could really identify with you.

That’s true. All the baby boomers getting are getting older. It’s hard to face the idea that we may not have another chapter.

What made you decide to start a new chapter now?

I was getting older, I couldn’t work 20 hours a day—and it was hard to get good help. I was so exhausted, and I realized it was time to go because every little thing was bothering me.

The restaurant was my social outlet and an outlet to express my curiosity about food.

Did you have a succession plan?

My key people, one by one, all of my sergeants were disappearing, and I realized I couldn’t really run it by myself. I was trying to sell the restaurant to an ex-chef of mine but he got other offers and he bowed out. Then I was going to give it to my employees but they didn’t really step up. There were all of these signs. So I’m taking my cue from the universe.

You’ve had several careers.

I’ve had three! I was a woodworker. And then for my second career I was a computer engineer. At that time, in 1971, computers were just blossoming. So I was a systems analyst for maybe 15 years. And then I dropped out.

How did you come to cooking?

Did you get bored with computers and want to do something fun?

I’m not a fun person. Fun is not in my vocabulary.

Fare thee well, Thai Beef (Hanger Steak) and Grape Salad. Always in our thoughts.

Everybody said cooking was hard but I was like, “Oh, no! Not for me!” I thought I would be the exception to the rule. After being in this business for a few years I didn’t think I was going to last, but 23 years went by so fast. In some ways I went into this sleepwalking, and I’m trying to be more awake walking out of it.

Shut up. You’re fun! You’re funny!

I’m very sarcastic. Anyway, I went to a philosophical group and they’d have work weekends and I noticed that I was able to cook pretty well. We’d seat 250 people and six of us would be doing one item and I was good at it.

What will you miss?

I will miss bossing people around and spending time at the table with my customers. I probably won’t ever see these people again. The restaurant was my social outlet and an outlet to express my curiosity about food.

I think food is such an amazing vehicle for the human condition to express itself.

Now that you’re not cooking in a restaurant, what will you do?

Well, my mother lives with me now. She’s 91, and as she gets older I’m going to have to spend more time with her. The first couple of months I’m going to sleep a lot. I don’t want to do much of anything. Reading food magazines, looking at YouTube videos, taking a nap: That’s my idea of a great Sunday.

Will you go out to eat more often or cook at home more often?

You know, I’m not so sure my food is all that great, I just used great ingredients. I think that was my leg up.

I really care about the food I present to people, and you have to use great ingredients. Even though I look Asian, I really didn’t have a lot of experience with Asian food.

I came to this country when I was 7 and I really wanted to assimilate, so it’s interesting that I ended up making Asian food. Life is always kicking me in the ass.

Do you have any advice for chefs or restaurant owners who are just starting out?

Yes. Everything passes. You have your five minutes of fame and it doesn’t last. When you have these moments when you want to close up you just have to stick it out five minutes longer. Nothing lasts.

That’s true.

Isn’t it interesting that you were one of the first people to interview me when I started and now you’re one of the last?

Stop it. You’re making us both sound old.

Well…

Jason Bourne Review: Stillbourne by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

Hard to believe it’s been 14 years since The Bourne Identity rolled into theaters and completely changed Matt Damon’s persona from “ho-hum” to “oh damn!”

And those first few films (not counting the throwaway Jeremy Renner-led Bourne Legacy) were pretty killer to be sure. But, like a similarly-aged teenager, the newest film in the long-running tale of that darn forgetful CIA assassin/ spy who’s always trying his damnd-

est to come in from the cold is kind of brash and confused about itself, and that means it’s just not very good.

We rejoin the titular character as he lays low by taking part in some sort of Greek fight club. Oh, you’d better believe he can knock out his opponents in one blow, but we quickly come to realize that Mr. Bourne is feeling super-bummed about his lot in life. Last time out, he exposed the CIA’s Blackbriar program, a clandestine black op that turns the very best operatives into remorseless, unthinking murderers.

seemingly doesn’t recall that, and just because you can do that up close nauseatingly shaky camera stuff doesn’t mean you should. In fact, most action shots are so all-over-the-place confusing that we almost never know where to look, and while director Paul Greengrass may be someplace dusting off his hands and congratulating himself on shirking the played-out trope of a stable shot, the rest of us are wondering why he’d do us like that. This is nothing compared to some of the ludicrous and physically implausible action sequences that go beyond the suspension of disbelief and into what-the-hell-wasthat territory; if a police van can send every car in its way flying except for the one our hero is driving, maybe don’t put those things so close to each other.

We’re really hoping this will just be the end of it, although the ending leaves room for yet another sequel. We really don’t need it. And besides, we have a feeling Matt Damon’s stock is about to plummet what with this white-washy Great Wall movie coming out soon. Either way, that’s enough now from Jason Bourne … We’re begging you.

JASON BOURNE Directed by Paul Greengrass With Damon, Cassel, Jones and Stiles Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas PG-13, 123 min.

SCREENER

yay!

yay!

A needless return to the Bourne series

Bourne remembers who he is now, sure, but he still needs answers about how his dead dad fits into everything and he’s damn well going to get ‘em thanks to Nicky Parsons’ (an utterly awful Julia Stiles who almost seems to be reading cue cards) hacking skills. It won’t be easy, though, because CIA director Robert Dewey (Tommy Lee Jones, who’s doing his best Tommy Lee Jones impression) is patriot-ing all hard and manipulating a Zuckerbergian social media mogul (Riz Ahmed) into helping him spy on America. In case that wasn’t enough, there’s the new head of computer stuff for the government agency (Ex Machina’s Alicia Vikander) has her own agenda, too … namely, she plays both sides, although we’re never told why that might be.

Cue globe-trotting subterfuge, soundtrack-free hand-to-hand combat, an ode to a Grecian motorcycle chase and, just to complicate things further, that one other spy (Black Swan’s Vincent Cassel) who, after Bourne wiki-leaked the Blackbriar info, lost his cover and spent two years being tortured in Syria. “It’s always been personal!” he growls at Dewey from his various sniper nests and unmarked vans while he recklessly pursues Bourne, and somewhere in the back of our minds we think something like, “Gimme a break, dude.”

If previous Bourne films set out to grit-ify the spy thriller genre (and succeeded), the newest installment

GHOSTBUSTERS

“Those who may look back to the original films with rose-colored glasses will find plenty to love here”

THE INFILTRATOR “At first, it’s riveting ... but there are ultimately too many tired devices”

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS

“There’s an impressive cast ... but not even they can save this movie from itself”

DE PALMA Now nearing the age of 70, celebrated American director Brian De Palma is known for his commitment to visual storytelling, inspired by the likes of Alfred Hitchcock.

He’s responsible for some of the gooey, blood-soaked movies of the ’70s and ’80s that set the tone for what would become passé in the modern cinematic sequences of bodies stacking up faster than viewers can keep track of them. We learn in this documentary that De Palma hates contemporary action tropes like car chases, though, so even amid flying bullets and fast-motion sequences, he wants you to know where characters are and what they are really doing.

Documentary directors Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow don’t delve deep into De Palma, or his relationships with people like George Lucas and Oliver Stone. Rather, it’s an austere approach with a grandfatherly looking De Palma facing the camera as he’s seated before an unlit fireplace. He works through a loose narrative about his long career, threading in and out of stories about most of his 40 films in chronological order and trashing on what’s become of Hollywood over that timespan. We’re not sure whether it’s the questions from behind the camera or deft editing that leaves one liking the guy.

A big name with a seemingly small ego, De Palma’s first big hit was the 1970 adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie, which forever changed the girls locker room and the prom. Then he backed it up with solid wins like Scarface in 1983 and The Untouchables in 1987. Then he hitched his wagon to the Tom Cruise machine to churn out the first Mission Impossible in 1997 before he packed it in to return to his own brand of obscurity overseas through the present. What’s most interesting about this straightforward look are the scattered behind-the-scenes images like the mom in Carrie getting pinned in the doorway by flying kitchen implements; stills of him working with actors, like a hand on Al Pacino’s shoulder as he shoots pool in Carlito’s Way; and treasures like the original ending to Snake Eyes.

De Palma stays humble to the end. “The disappointing thing about teaching film,” he says, “is that 99 percent of them are not going anywhere. Anybody that has a career, it’s a miracle.” (Julie Ann Grimm) CCA, R 100 min.

STAR TREK BEYOND

When we rejoin the crew of the Starship Enterprise in the midst of their 5-year mission to, uh, study … space stuff, tensions are high. James T Kirk (Chris Pine and his hairless chest) is listless, and his stalwart

crew is feelin’ it, too.

This is why, when the captain of an attacked ship appears alone in the Federation’s newest and most absurd space station and begs for help in retrieving her ship and crew, Kirk, Spock (a painfully boring Zachary Quinto of American Horror Story), Sulu (the always charismatic John Cho of Harold & Kumar, who is given a pointless two-second “he’s gay, how novel” backstory that even pissed off the original Sulu, George Takei), Bones (Judge Dredd’s Karl Urban), Chekov (the late Anton Yelchin), Scotty (Simon Pegg, who also boasts a writing credit for this outing) and the rest of the gang jump at the chance to lend a hand. But of course the whole deal isn’t as it seems, and the Enterprise crew winds up stranded on some distant planet thanks to Krall (Idris Elba), a mysterious space-jerk who leads a species that utilizes swarm-like military space-tactics and who wants something the Enterprise has onboard. There’s also a shipwrecked alien named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella) hanging around who loves Public Enemy, cracks wise at every turn and uses space-gadgets to space-fight everyone.

Krall is pretty furious for mysterious spacereasons, and he circumvents the aging process by space-vampiring the redshirts.

And it’s weak. The promised peril never feels urgent, and it isn’t even that we can CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

FINAL SHOWS De Palma NUTS!

ok “One day you’ll be in Battlefield Earth, Travolta, and it’ll suck huge!” blame the actors for bad performances—the writing is just boring; hackneyed, even. This is odd considering Simon Pegg’s usual caliber of work. No new ground is tread whatsoever to the point that it’s hard to tell if Beyond is even actually different from 2013’s Into Darkness, only this time we don’t have Benedict Cumberbatch’s wild and wooly magnetism to even things out.

As villains go, Elba ranks among the flattest, and his ultimate motive is so thin and tiresome that they could’ve easily chosen just about anything else for better results. Thus, the film feels lazy. Plot points are telegraphed so obviously, interactions feel forced and tiresome and, worst of all, audiences are underestimated. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas, PG-13, 122 min.

GHOSTBUSTERS

We’ll admit that we were, shall we say, apprehensive about Bridesmaids director Paul Feig’s new foray into the Ghostbusters universe. In our defense, that first trailer was horrible, and we were actually pretty much prepared to write the whole thing off. Crisis averted. The new cast is completely stellar, with enjoyable and hysterical performances from everyone. Kristen Wiig (Brides­maids) shines as pensive physicist Erin Gilbert who, earlier in life, wrote of the metaphysical with brash fellow scientist, Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy). Through a spooky series of events spurred by a mysteriously sinister hotel bellman, the pair, along with sassy subway worker Patty Tolan (SNL’s Leslie Jones) and ultra-weird/ultra-genius Jillian Holtzmann (a scene-stealing Kate McKinnon, also of SNL) get down to the business of bustin’ ghosts in the funniest of ways. Soon the fearsome foursome opens a lab/business of sorts, and along with their boneheaded receptionist, played brilliantly stupid by Thor’s Chris Hemsworth, they tackle horrors from the afterlife.

Those who may look back to the original films with rose-colored glasses will find plenty to love here, so long as they haven’t completely made up their minds before they enter theaters (or they aren’t like those ridiculous jerks who would hate a film just for having a female cast). An update hasn’t hurt the franchise whatsoever, and we’re a little confused by the ire since a vast number of films these days are either remakes, reboots or sourced from other material.

This Ghostbusters strikes the perfect balance between new/funny enough and throwback/fan service-y enough to click our nostalgia into high gear.

Pepper in shriek-worthy cameos from almost all of the original cast and supporting

roles from fairly prominent actors and comedians like Michael K Williams, Matt Walsh, Zach Woods, Cecily Strong and many more, and we’ve got one of those fun summer blockbusters like they used to make.

Oh sure, there’s a whole mess of CGI and a small number of missteps to nitpick, but as an overall product, Ghostbusters completely nails it. You ain’t afraid of that, are you? (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 116 min.

THE INFILTRATOR In the 1980s, cocaine was king, and South American drug lords were making just crazy bonkers money by exporting their product into America through various port cities like Miami.

They had plenty of help from banks, too, and before anyone really realized it, the drug trade became a full-blown epidemic. And that’s the setting for the new Bryan Cranston-led film, The Infiltrator. Based on a book by former undercover customs agent Robert Mazur, the story follows one of the largest drug busts in American history through the eyes of the agent himself (who became a fake money launderer) and looks into the brutal tactics employed by Pablo Escobar and his Medellín cartel. At first, it’s riveting to see the emotional and psychological toll it takes on the cops as they embed themselves into the drug trade through any means necessary, but there are ultimately too many tired devices utilized, and the film ends up lagging. It’s almost as if they had most of a great movie and then realized there wasn’t a strong ending, so they wrapped it up as quickly as possible.

Cranston provides a perfectly fine performance as the embattled agent who repeatedly puts work ahead of family (though it seems to have no lasting effect one way or another on his marriage and home life, at least so far as we’re shown), and his fellow agents, played by John Leguizamo and Diane Kruger, provide little more than reactionary lines to his risky moves like, “Yeah, I’ve got your back!” Benjamin Bratt brings a certain oomph to his role as one of the bad guy higher-ups in the cartel, and his charming performance shows that sometimes undercover work is totally super-hard when you start to like your targets! Everyone else just kind of exists in a vacuum, and they wait for Cranston to be onscreen so they can do crazy-terrifying things to let us know just how much is on the line.

For the most part, this works, but they never quite make us care enough about Cranston or Leguizamo (or anyone, for that matter).

The Infiltrator is certainly not boring, but if

MOVIES

meh Star Trek Beyond: Explosively meh. you’re looking for anything more than a paintby-numbers thriller, based on a true story or not, this is not your film. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 127 min.

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS One begins to wonder how many “this is what the toys/pets/cars/planes/appliances do when you aren’t watching” films we’re expected to suffer through at this point, and The Secret Life of Pets isn’t helping. One of those odd-couple stories, Pets follows Max, a stereotypically dog-ish dog voiced by Louis CK—who we think probably just took the role because he has young daughters. Max totally loves his owner, Katie (a flat Ellie Kemper from Kimmy Schmidt), but when she brings home a dog named Duke (Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet), he has a hell of a time adjusting.

Sure, they work it out after a series of zany adventures, but once the initial sickeningly cute factor has finished its full-frontal assault,

Pets cracks under the pressure of how many times we’ve already seen this movie.

There’s an impressive cast featuring usually very funny actors and comedians like Albert Brooks, Jenny Slate, Steve Coogan and Dana Carvey, but not even they can save this movie from itself, and the formulaic drag of learning to love others for who they are remains tired. Most performances are fine, just fine, but Kevin Hart as an insane bunny (are we supposed to find it hilarious that a bunny probably wouldn’t talk or act like that?) is, at the risk of putting too fine a point on it, the absolute worst. Illumination Entertainment can be commended for their gorgeous and detailed New York City and for trying to throw in some weird stuff (like a psychedelic dreamland of living sausages singing from Grease), but even children will probably feel insulted by how utterly unfunny the final product winds up being. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas, PG, 87 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ARTFUL SOUL CENTER Rob Brezsny

Week of August 4th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) I apologize in advance for the seemingly excessive abundance of good news I’m about to report. If you find it hard to believe, I won’t hold your skepticism against you. But I do want you to know that every prediction is warranted by the astrological omens. Ready for the onslaught? 1. In the coming weeks, you could fall forever out of love with a wasteful obsession. 2. You might also start falling in love with a healthy obsession. 3. You can half-accidentally snag a blessing you have been half-afraid to want. 4. You could recall a catalytic truth whose absence has been causing you a problem ever since you forgot it. 5. You could reclaim the mojo that you squandered when you pushed yourself too hard a few months ago.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Could it be true that the way out is the same as the way in? And that the so-called “wrong” answer is almost indistinguishable from the right answer? And that success, at least the kind of success that really matters, can only happen if you adopt an upside-down, inside-out perspective? In my opinion, the righteous answer to all these questions is “YESSS???!!!”—at least for now. I suspect that the most helpful approach will never be as simple or as hard as you might be inclined to believe.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your strength seems to make some people uncomfortable. I don’t want that to become a problem for you. Maybe you could get away with toning down your potency at other times, but not now. It would be sinful to act as if you’re not as compeTAURUS (April 20-May 20) August is Adopt-a-Taurus tent and committed to excellence as you are. But having month. It’s for all of your tribe, not just the orphans and said that, I also urge you to monitor your behavior for exiles and disowned rebels. Even if you have exemplary excess pride. Some of the resistance you face when you parents, the current astrological omens suggest that you express your true glory may be due to the shadows cast require additional support and guidance from wise by your true glory. You could be tempted to believe that elders. So I urge you to be audacious in rounding up your honorable intentions excuse secretive manipulatrustworthy guardians and benefactors. Go in search of tions. So please work on wielding your clout with maximentors and fairy godmothers. Ask for advice from mum compassion and responsibility. heroes who are further along the path that you’d like to follow. You are ready to receive teachings and direction SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Did you honestly imagine that there would eventually come a future when you weren’t receptive to before. you’d have your loved ones fully “trained”? Did you GEMINI (May 21-June 20) When a parasite or other fantasize that sooner or later you could get them under irritant slips inside an oyster’s shell, the mollusk’s control, purged of their imperfections and telepathically immune system besieges the intruder with successive responsive to your every mood? If so, now is a good layers of calcium carbonate. Eventually, a pearl may time to face the fact that those longings will never be form. I suspect that this is a useful metaphor for you to fulfilled. You finally have the equanimity to accept your loved ones exactly as they are. Uncoincidentally, this contemplate in the coming days as you deal with the adjustment will make you smarter about how to stir up salt in your wound or the splinter in your skin. Before you jump to any conclusions, though, let me clarify. This soulful joy in your intimate relationships. is not a case of the platitude, “Whatever doesn’t kill you CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You may experience a will make you stronger.” Keep in mind that the pearl is a divine visitation as you clean a toilet in the coming symbol of beauty and value, not strength. weeks. You might get a glimpse of a solution to a nagCANCER (June 21-July 22) It’s your lucky day!

If I were going to give your in mind that I don’t expect you to achieve absolute immediate future a mythic title, it might be “Finding the perfection.) 1. Wean yourself from indulging in self-pity Sacred in the Midst of the Profane.” and romanticized pessimism. 2. Withdraw from AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) I’ve worked hard for many connections with people who harbor negative images years to dismantle my prejudices. To my credit, I have of you. 3. Transcend low expectations wherever you see them in play. 4. Don’t give your precious life energy even managed to cultivate compassion for people I previously demonized, like evangelical Christians, drunken to demoralizing ideas and sour opinions. jocks, arrogant gurus, and career politicians. But I must LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re not doing a baby chick a confess that there’s still one group toward which I’m favor by helping it hatch. For the sake of its well-being, bigoted: super-rich bankers. I wish I could extend to the bird needs to peck its way out of the egg. It’s got to them at least a modicum of amiable impartiality. How exert all of its vigor and willpower in starting its new about you, Aquarius? Do you harbor any hidebound life. That’s a good metaphor for you to meditate on. As biases that shrink your ability to see life as it truly is? you escape from your comfortable womb-jail and Have you so thoroughly rationalized certain narrowlaunch yourself toward inspiration, it’s best to rely as minded perspectives and judgmental preconceptions much as possible on your own instincts. Friendly that your mind is permanently closed? If so, now is a people who would like to provide assistance may favorable time to dissolve the barriers and stretch your inadvertently cloud your access to your primal wisdom. imagination way beyond its previous limits.

Trust yourself deeply and wildly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Are you lingering at the VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) I hear you’re growing weary of wrestling with ghosts. Is that true? I hope so. The moment you give up the fruitless struggle, you’ll become eligible for a unique kind of freedom that you have not previously imagined. Here’s another rumor I’ve caught wind of: You’re getting bored with an old source of sadness that you’ve used to motivate yourself for a long time.

I hope that’s true, too. As soon as you shed your allegiance to the sadness, you will awaken to a sparkling font of comfort you’ve been blind to. Here’s one more story I’ve picked up through the grapevine: You’re close to realizing that your attention to a mediocre treasure has diverted you from a more pleasurable treasure. Hallelujah!

crux of the crossroads, restless to move on but unsure of which direction will lead you to your sweet destiny?

Are there too many theories swimming around in your brain, clogging up your intuition? Have you absorbed the opinions of so many “experts” that you’ve lost contact with your own core values? It’s time to change all that.

You’re ready to quietly explode in a calm burst of practical lucidity. First steps: Tune out all the noise. Shed all the rationalizations. Purge all the worries. Ask yourself, “What is the path with heart?”

Homework: What if you didn’t feel compelled to have an opinion about every hot-button issue? Try living opinionfree for a week. testify at Trithrooster@gmail.com.
