COVER, JUNE 15: “CORNERED”
FOCUS ON THE SCIENCE I want to thank Elizabeth Miller for the excellent article. It is as “fair and balanced” as I have read in a long time. Working with Defenders of Wildlife since the mid-2000s on Mexican wolf issues here in NM, I have heard lots of terrible things about wolves, the vast majority from ranchers in the southern part of our state. I was an associate director of the Smithsonian National Zoo from 1996 to 2003 and have heard it all. (The zoo raised the first pair of wolves to be released in southwest NM.) So many negative arguments based on perceptions, not reality and hard science, are presented about Mexican wolves. We need to focus on the science to make the right decisions for the future preservation of these special members of our ecosystem. Sad to say, as you point out, it is all about money and water. The same for other threatened and endangered species. But if a miracle solution, a compromise that both sides can agree to, does not come to the forefront soon, we may lose the Mexican wolf forever. And forever is a long time. NANCY E JOHNSON SANTA FE
VEGAN IS THE WAY TO GO There is an easier way to help Mexican wolves win this seemingly never-ending battle over public lands, and that is to switch to a vegan diet. Nature never intended for cattle to roam in New Mexico, and one cow requires at least 50 acres of high desert to forage for food. By choosing not to support animal agriculture, vast acres of New Mexico could heal itself and flourish into habitat that supports all wildlife. JAMES CORCORAN SANTA FE
Given the demonstrated ranching faction’s intolerance for virtually any natural “predator” (that could possibly impact a failed business model), even the memory of a wolf is unthinkable. The real impacts have nothing to do with the minimal predation of indigenous species but the inherently compromised health of non-indigenous species, weather, water, grazing, shrinking margins, rising overhead, commodity pricing, the unstoppable move away from animal proteins and the vast public support of wildlife—especially wolves. The failure and total unwillingness to coexist, and the total failure to recognize the tsunami of public support, is suicidal for an economy already on the critical list. It might be possible to slow down or even stop the return of indigenous species, but it is impossible to stop the advancing choice in consumer spending and support of wildlife. Supporting the extinction of a rightfully entitled indigenous species will guarantee and accelerate the extinction of an antiquated way of life, its mindset, and its impact on the environment.

IT CAN BE DONE Many people are learning to live with large carnivores on the landscape and doing it through positive education and a willingness to alter some of our own behaviors to protect wildlands and their inhabitants. In fact, I cannot think of any rancher or farmer who does not prefer the wide open spaces and the closeness to nature that they experience every day. I raised my children in one of the wildest areas of the Lower 48, and they are now raising their children in a landscape we share with wolves, grizzly bears, mountain lions and black bears as well as many ungulates, raptors and other critters. It can be done, we just have to want to. PENNY MALDONADO SFREPORTER.COM

kids who have been spoon-fed a line of that same drama. It has been in my yard since the beginning of this thing, my kids have been impacted, my cattle have been killed. My husband was forced to shoot one attacking livestock in the field in front of our home [and] was accused of every nasty thing under the sun. My kids were subject to death threats for that shooting, and we were cleared of any wrongdoing. Please understand those conflict prevention tactics are just that: media pandering tactics not useful in any way. I have been dealing with this as have my neighbors and friends for nearly 20 years, I have been part of the planning process, tried to work within the system. Nonlethal deterrence is a fraud. If it does work, it’s very limited, and the results only last a week or so. LAURA SCHNEBERGER SFREPORTER.COM Editor’s note: SFR made several efforts to get ranchers on the record for this story.

ew Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Program is growing at an even more rapid pace than reported by the public health agency tasked with regulating the industry. Financial reports from 22 growers, including four with operations in Santa Fe, show total revenue during the first three months of 2016 topped $10.2 million—more than a quarter-million dollars above the $9.9 million claimed by the New Mexico Health Department in May. Santa Fe’s dispensaries generated $2.4 million and accounted for almost a quarter of total receipts. Patient registrations, which reportedly have been taking up to 90 days to process, are also on the rise. The number of people legally permitted to use cannabis for medical relief in the state has almost doubled since February 2015, from 13,000 to more than 25,000 today. An analysis of the producers’ paperwork shows the health department miscalculated first-quarter sales (or total receipts) by $256,112. SFR questioned the department’s number that showed Fruit of the Earth Organics with a $246,545 gross profit based on $7,068 in sales listed on the group’s financial summary sheet. By any accounting process, that just didn’t add up. A spokesman for the health department says staff used the numbers provided by producers to total the first-quarter sales, but it appears the regulators didn’t double-check the numbers on Fruit of the Earth’s cover sheet against the grower’s underlying profitand-loss statement before publishing the statewide 2016 First Quarter Report Summary. Justine Freeman, the deputy chief of staff at the State Auditor’s Office, says the health department needs to develop a method to catch errors and ensure the accuracy of its accounting before making reports public. “Sound financial reporting is key to the public’s understanding of how the medical cannabis program is working,” Freeman tells SFR. The first-quarter results, while not a trend, do provide important market insights. Production reports provided by the health department since 2013 have indicated that not all growers are producing large harvests. Indeed, SFR’s analysis shows that almost 60 percent of the quarter’s 1.2 ton yield was harvested by five growers: R Greenleaf Organics, The Verdes Foundation, Compassionate Distributors, Minerva Canna Group and Medzen. Willie Ford’s Reynold Greenleaf Associates, which manages R Greenleaf and Medzen dispensaries in Albuquerque, produced 28 percent of the total yield.

topped the sales charts with over $1.1 million in Q1, generated close to 10 percent of the harvest between January and March. Statewide, producers reported a total net gain of $986,105 between January and March on gross profits of just over $6.6 million. Red Barn, a producer in Grants, did not report its gross profit or net income or loss. On average, producers netted almost $47,000. Mother Earth Herbs reported breaking even. Seven other producers claim they are losing money and reported an average loss of $41,045. R Greenleaf reported the quarter’s largest net income loss: $82,382. Santa Fe’s growers provided patients almost 350 pounds of cannabis and paid $203,455 in gross receipts taxes during the quarter. Overall, the tax department collected $768,605 in taxes from the growers in the first quarter.

New MexiCann’s $656,000 gross profit generated a quarterly income gain of $61,000, while Zeke Shortes’ Sacred Garden, which has the third highest overall cannabis staff payroll, reported a net income loss of $78,142 on its $492,536 gross profit. Lyra Barron’s Fruit of the Earth Organics, with a net income gain of $116,332, bested all the other Santa Fe-based producers. Producers are still working out bugs using the health department’s new “seed to sale” tracking software, which requires them to enter product test results for plant potency and microbiological contaminants. They reported spending nearly $80,000 on laboratory testing services in Q1. Two producers did not report their test numbers, and Vivian Moore’s Mother Earth Herbs in Las Cruces is exempt from testing since her dispensary is located south of US Border Patrol checkpoints. The amount producers spend on testing is expected to increase in the second quarter, as testing is now mandatory for all harvest batches and cannabis-derived products. The numbers could be even bigger, says Ultra Health’s Duke Rodriguez, who is among those who have been pushing Health Department Secretarydesignate Lynn Gallagher to remove the grower’s plant limits. He tells SFR that if lawmakers or voters approve cannabis for social use by adults, he predicts annual dispensary revenues could top $525 million in the first year and generate between $78 million and $131 million in tax revenues depending on the rate adopted by lawmakers. The tax revenue, Rodriguez suggests, could be used to prop up the state’s Medicaid fund and that money would then make the state eligible for close to another $325 million in federal matching funds. “Money spent on health care would have a huge impact on the state’s economy,” says Rodriguez. “It would generate 15,000 new jobs and fill the equivalent of 125 football fields in office space.That would benefit not only hospitals, but real estate agents, landlords and bankers.” Dive deeper into the data with additional information at SFReporter.com/medpotdata.

e’re no strangers to the great outdoors in New Mexico. As home to the nation’s first wilderness area, we’ve long been aware that the blank places on the map can be some of our most valuable. And reasons to get out and see what the map doesn’t show you abound. We open this special Outdoor Issue with one answer to why a person might want to go play outdoors: Because it could change, or save, your life (p. 10). OK, so you’d like to go, but where? We’ve got some ideas for that, too (p. 12). And a surefire way to get and stay committed is to sign yourself up for something that’s going to test your limits. So try a triathlon (p. 15), or Santa Fe’s new ultramarathon, which comes in sizes to fit most (p. 19). Curious about how our trails system and our raft guides are doing? We’ve got those answers, too. However you choose to get out there to recreate and appreciate our wild lands, we just hope you do.
‘Sixty Meters to Anywhere’ author on how to stop being who you’ve always been, even, or especially, if who you’ve always been has a substance abuse problem
BY E L I Z AB E T H MI L L E R e liza be th@sf re p or te r.com
“People who have what I have” is as close as Brendan Leonard brushes in the trailer for his latest book, Sixty Meters to Anywhere, to saying out loud the words that sent him scrambling for a way to rebuild his life. But as the images tick by and the narration continues, it becomes clear that people who have what he had have a problem with substance abuse. That road often isn’t scenic, and the stories written about traveling it frequently focus on its spiraling descents. Leonard doesn’t. He chooses, instead, to lay a little groundwork before quickly moving into the other half of the story. He writes about the slow ascent as he learns to define himself not by what he doesn’t do, which is drink, but by what he does, which is climb and hike.

The book begins on a snowy night in Iowa, when Leonard gets stopped for his second DUI. What unfolds from there is a crisply written and boldly honest retelling of the sharply edged and often lonely moments of recovery and reinvention. As part of abandoning a life of hours spent on the bar stool, he moves to Montana to enroll in a graduate program in journalism. A creative nonfiction professor first said his experiences in jail and rehab were ones worth writing about—a kind of permission granted, he says, to produce some of the essays that now appear in his book, more than a decade later. But Montana, of course, is surrounded by mountains, and those begin to consume more and more of his time. “At the time, I didn’t really know what I was feeling, or why it was so important,” he tells SFR. “It was like, this is where I feel really good, here in these places where I
FOREST WOODWARD
feel small and where I’m in incredibly beautiful terrain. I think everybody feels that same way in some respects. Whether or not you communicate it, that’s one of the things you like about being outside.” Among the realizations materializing is that in the West, no one would call these undertakings outdoors “hobbies”; they’re far more essential. “It becomes this lifestyle, which is a really great thing for somebody like me who didn’t really have an identity, to be able to understand you could just make this the big thing in your life,” he says. “Yeah, you’ve got to go to work and earn money, but after that, you can plunge into the outdoors and all these different methods of travel—hiking, backpacking, peak bagging, mountain biking, ice climbing, rock climbing.”
There are things that you can do if you just admit to yourself that you can do them. … It’s just a matter of having the courage to do it.
The way he writes it in Sixty Meters to Anywhere, a reference to a standard length for a climbing rope, is, “I wanted to climb, to get out there and see it all—snow-covered peaks, rivers that cut canyons, the moonscape of the American desert—to bring it into myself and see what it made me.” For Leonard, it’s actually now become the way he makes a living, as the founder of semi-rad.com, a website about outdoor sports and the people who surrender their lives (and paychecks) to them, and an outdoor sports writer whose work has appeared in Climbing, Adventure Journal, Alpinist, Backpacker, and National Geographic Adventure. His job has now taken him down canyons in rafts and to the tops of peaks on several continents. He says the greatest compliment he’s received on the book so far, which was released earlier this summer, was
Brendan Leonard turned to climbing to recreate a life for himself after he decided to stop drinking.
from a friend who said it compelled him to think honestly about his own life. That’s the goal, Leonard says. “I want this out there, and hopefully someone who needs it will find it, and it will change somebody’s life in a small way and allow them to live a better life,” he says. “That’s the point of all storytelling, to me, whether it’s just funny or they really identify with it or they realize they have a substance abuse problem or they have no interest in a substance abuse problem but realize they’re in control of their own life in some other regard and can make that choice.”
The decision to stop drinking may have been one of his toughest, its effects rippling through his family and his friendships. But we all face choices to change, or not. Fourteen years sober, he now jokes about too much coffee, too little meditation and the fellow runners in the park near his house in Denver who refused to shift their route with a trail redesign. Instead, they jump a nearly 2-foot-tall curb and wear down their former path through the grass. Change comes hard, no matter how it arrives. “You’ve got to realize you’re just telling yourself one story,” he says. “There
are things that you can do if you just admit to yourself that you can do them. There aren’t these magic people who are entrepreneurs or who change their life midstream. Everybody can do it. It’s just a matter of having the courage to do it. But we have all sorts of lies we tell ourselves, like ‘Oh I was raised differently,’ or ‘I didn’t grow up doing that,’ or ‘I grew up doing this, so this is the way I do things.’ You have a choice. You don’t have to have high cholesterol just because everyone in your family has high cholesterol. You can change that. That’s not this code that’s written that you can’t rewrite in this life.”

A few ideas for taking hikes and bikes
O
pen to hikers, bikers and horses, the trails surrounding Santa Fe provide free nature therapy 365 days a year. Leave valuables at home rather than in your car, make sure you take plenty of water and look for signs that help you stay on track. And say hello when you pass another group. That’s how we roll. LEONORA CURTIN WETLAND PRESERVE Hit the I-25 Frontage Road just past the Downs of Santa Fe for this hidden treasure, maintained by the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. A wide, flat trail takes travelers on a walk as short as a third of a mile to a spring-fed pond, ringed in cattails and frequented by dragonflies, bullfrogs and the like. A great place for bird-watching, and with plenty of places to sit along the way, go for a slightly longer distance on easy loop trails. Hours are limited and seasonal, but docents keep it open now on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am-3 pm. ASPEN VISTA This quintessential fall walk is stunning when the aspen reveal their gorgeous golden hues, but it’s accessible for every season. While the forest road makes it easy to follow, the steepness of the climb satisfies your need to feel exhausted by your recreational endeavor. Choose how high up the road to go, with grand views that start when you get out of the car and rewards that get better with each step. It’s an 11-mile
round trip to the top, where you can stop for a rest in a ski shack and see the microwave towers atop Tesuque Peak. Go early, though, as by noon on a weekend day, the parking along Hyde Park Road near mile marker 12 at the trailhead can feel a bit like Trader Joe’s. SUN MOUNTAIN Close to the city, this trailhead was the home of the late New Mexico Supreme Court Judge John T Watson, whose family was always hospitable about letting hikers traipse through on their way to summit of Sun Mountain, about a 6-mile round trip. Neighbors rallied to buy the land instead of letting it go to developers, then they turned it over to the city as a permanent conservation easement. Look for the green signs on the east side of Old Santa Fe Trail near Sun Mountain Road. (Hint: You’ll feel like you are directly centered in front of the half-circle-shaped mountain when you’re at trailhead.) See the city glimmer in the morning light after a heart-pumping climb that gains about 1,400 feet. LA TIERRA A maze of options opens up in La Tierra’s more-than25-mile trail system, accessed from several trailheads off Camino de los Montoyas from Hwy. 599. It’s a choose-your-own-adventure outing, with loops tripling back on themselves as they follow ridgelines that offer views east toward the city and the vista of the southern Sangres, and west to the Jemez. Or opt to meander through arroyos and basins that, on wet summers, can fill with wildflowers. Bikers can hunt down technical trails that include banked turns and

Whether you opt for clockwise or counter, the hike will drop down Borrego or Bear Wallow trails to the Winsor, follow a short stretch along Tesuque Creek and then back up. Make sure you catch the turns or you’ll pop out in Tesuque or at the ski basin—or set up a shuttle or have a rescue-ready friend to call. Keep an eye out for bears in spring, wildflowers in summer and bright aspens in fall. The trailhead sits about 8 miles up Hyde Park Road toward the ski basin, with modest parking in the paved lot on the left.
RIO GRANDE RIO CHAMA: 1 DAY & 3 DAY MOST FUN AND BEST SERVICE.
There’s no better resource for making the most of the city’s outdoor bounty than the Sierra Club’s Day Hikes in the Santa Fe Area. First published in 1981 as a quarterinch-thick book with scribbled maps, it’s now in the seventh edition and includes detailed topographic maps, provided with the help of Travel Bug, and instructions to see 56 places including waterfalls, alpine lakes and overlooks. Beware of instructions like, “Walk through the open meadow” and “Stay on the left margin of the boulders.” But if you pay attention, the guide won’t let you down. You can also make copies of just the pages for the hike you’re heading on and leave the bulky text on the coffee table. If you need a bucket list, start ticking these off. You’ll be in good company.
The Wild Guide Passport to New Mexico Wilderness tours through this wild state’s wildest places. As birthplace of the wilderness movement, New Mexico boasts a lengthy list of wilderness and wilderness study areas, and they’re compiled in this guide from the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. “There are a lot of areas in here that people would just not find any other place, in any other resource,” says Mark Allison, executive director of the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance. Trail information is limited to a single option in formal wilderness areas—a taste, and inspiration to dig deeper. National forests, monuments and parks stretch across the state map, but wilderness is different. “Wilderness areas are the one area where you can go where you don’t have to hear the chainsaws, you don’t have to smell the smoke from motors and hear the noise, and it’s really about having a few places left that we want to protect that are free from all those motorized, mechanized activities of modern civilization, and I think that there’s something very spiritual in that,” Allison says. “These are areas that are governed primarily by natural forces, and they’re self-willed, and they’re wild, and we’re a small part of that. To experience that, I think, is different, and humbling, and grounding.”

30 WATER SITES TESTED
ALL CLEAR!
Water quality is a significant issue both nationally and locally. At CHRISTUS St. Vincent, recent tests of water at infrequently used sites within the hospital showed elevated levels of copper and lead. We took this issue very seriously and made immediate improvements in our water monitoring and testing processes. To ensure that you, our patients, and our community had confidence in the hospital’s water quality, we over sampled in order to alleviate any perceived concerns. As always, the safety of anyone entering the doors of our hospital is a priority. We are pleased to share that, of the 30 water sites sampled, all 30 met water quality safety standards. NONE exceeded maximum contaminant levels (MCL). A third-party contractor conducted the tests of twenty-three areas April 22 through May 5, and 7 water fountains were tested on May 31, 2016. Water samples were analyzed according to EPA procedures or equivalent. Here are some highlights of the testing results: •
The MCL for lead is .15 mg/L and the MCL for copper is 1.3 mg/L.
•
All 30 sample areas were below the MCL levels.
•
All of the faucets of the original 10 sampled sites were replaced in April. As a reminder, none of the original 10 sites were in public drinking areas.
•
The water from the original 10 sampled sites was then re-sampled.
•
Plus, 13 additional public/associate areas.
•
Plus, 7 public water fountains
We at CHRISTUS St. Vincent are grateful for your patience and support as we conducted the water quality sampling and awaited results. Pat Carrier, CEO & President

Santa Fe has all the right ingredients for a strong triathlon culture, but still hosts few triathlons
Councilor Joseph Maestas. A multisport athlete for the past 30 years, Maestas took part in the Las Campanas Compadres and Socorro Chile Harvest triathlons last year, and placed third in the 50-54 age group at the Santa Fe Triathlon in 2014. “I love it,” says Maestas. “I love the training aspect of it, the competitive nature of it, the tapping into the true potential of your body. It’s also got great economic potential. The city government can do a lot more to frame the city’s marketing strategy around outdoor amenities. We’re not just a great site for a triathlon, but a great locale for high-altitude training.” Maestas adds that he’s eager to take part in local races again this year, including the Santa Fe Triathlon, which is set to take place on Sept. 26. “I just bought a time trial bike,” he says. “I’m anxious to get it out there.”

ast September, Silvio Lopez left his house off of West Alameda to go on a long ride, taking the 45-mile Galisteo Loop, via Hwy. 14. Lopez, a 42-year-old systems administrator and avid triathlete, often spends 15 hours a week in the pool, on the bike, running, or lifting weights. He was happy to get out and enjoy the gorgeous weather, if also a bit disappointed. The eighth annual Santa Fe Triathlon scheduled to take place that day had been cancelled. Employees at the City Parks and Recreation Department cited difficulties with redirecting traffic for the road portions of the race, but rumors circulated that there was simply a lack of interest. This seemed hard to believe. Though the city has most of the elements of a triathlete’s paradise—high altitudes, miles of near-empty roads and trails, as well as three impeccably run public pools—the tri scene in Santa Fe can sometimes feel like the hip-hop scene in Kuala Lumpur: robust, but a little lonely. Santa Fe has no dedicated tri club, and so most multisport athletes do their structured interval runs or tempo workouts with groups like Santa Fe Striders or the New Mexico Spokettes. Otherwise, they train alone. “In 15 minutes, I’m at La Tierra. In 25 minutes, I’m at Dale Ball,” Lopez says. “I regularly go on amazing rides and runs, right from my doorstep, but it would be nice to have our own tri club here, and to have a community that’s organized and active.” At the same time that Santa Fe triathletes have felt the pang of loneliness, the sport has been enjoying an astonishing period of development and growth on the national level. Membership for USA Triathlon, the sport’s governing body, has more than doubled in the past 10 years, and the Southwest region is particularly well-known for some of triathlon’s biggest annual
events, including the Ironman triathlons in Tempe, Arizona, and Boulder, Colorado. In-state races, however, are few and far between. In 2014 (the latest year for which these numbers are available), Arizona hosted 50, Colorado had 87 and Texas 223, while New Mexico clocked in with just 18. Lopez sometimes works out with Black Dog Triathlon club in Albuquerque. Though the club has grown by about 20 percent in the past five years, Black Dog vice president Michael Dunn says his group faces similar problems. “We’ve got the best trails, the best roads, the best weather, but at events, the turnout is just not as much as it should be,” says Dunn, a 36-year-old real estate agent who also promotes the annual Toughman NM triathlons at Cochiti Lake. “I see a lot of people that will travel to Colorado, Arizona or Texas to go do these Ironman-branded events. I think the sport is definitely growing in our state, but I don’t know if it’s growing as fast as I would like.” There are reasons to be optimistic, however. At the moment, no one is more eager to see Santa Fe’s homegrown triathlon scene grow than city

aft guide Keren Mikva declares it “Ladies Day” at New Mexico River Adventures, as seven women step up to guide a group of IT employees from Albuquerque over the rapids of the Rio Grande Gorge. Guides read the water, anticipate turns and direct their teams around jutting rock formations. Bright yellow vessels crash against the whitewater, with company co-owner Wendy Gontram at the head of the pack. Gontram had her first taste of rafting on a commercial trip when she was 20 years old. “It just looked like so much fun,” she recalls. “I said, ‘How do I do this?’ and they said, ‘Come out next summer and take a guide school.’” Gontram, stationed at the back of the

raft, commands her rowers to plunge their oars deep into the water. “Right side forward, left side back,” she yells. Gontram’s words drown in a cascade of waves barraging the boat. Paddlers strain to hear her directions. She shouts again, and this time they get it. They catch up with the rhythm of their comrades and the raft straightens, pointing downstream again. After decades of falling on deaf ears, the voices of female raft guides are finally being heard. The rafting industry took a blow earlier this year when allegations of sexual harassment surfaced among guides in the Grand Canyon. A 2016 investigative report by the US Office of Inspector General reveals a culture of propositioning, intimidation and retaliation. Males still dominate the field in north central New Mexico’s rafting industry. SFR contacted seven rafting companies and asked for a count of female employ-

How New Mexico’s female raft guides persevere in a male-dominated industry

ees. Men outnumbered women at a ratio of roughly 3-to-1 at most companies. At New Wave Rafting Co., Kathy Miller is the only female guide. Her husband, Steve Miller, claims, “Women seem less interested in guiding than men, as a rule.” When asked how many of their employees are women, a man at Los Rios River Runners responds, “Without asking them to pull down their pants? Let me see.” He finds that 16 of their 57 guides are female. “It goes into a big cultural question of how we raise males versus females and what we raise females to believe they can do,” says Wendy Meyer, who has been guiding for eight years at New Mexico River Adventures. “Young boys are pushed more into sports and active outside things than females are.” Nine women comprise a third of New Mexico River Adventures’ staff. “We certainly have tried to have a more balanced company in terms of gender,” Gontram says. “It is empowering for young girls that are guests to see women in the outdoors and know it’s not just a man’s job.” At Kokopelli Rafting Adventures, nearly half of guides are female. “I work for a company where people just want to guide,” says Tori Simmons, a Kokopelli guide. “I’m also used to a male environment because I’m a ski patroller.” Though she stresses that most of her colleagues have been respectful, Katherine Hagan, who guides for multiple area companies as-needed, says there have been “a couple of occasions of ass-grabbing or catcalls. … I look at it like it’s a locker room, and maybe that’s a bit of a justification.” When someone crosses the line, she says she sticks up for herself, and “that sends a pretty strong signal.” Gontram notes different attitudes from one region to another. In her 16 years in the industry, she’s also worked on California’s Kern River as well as the Colorado and Arkansas rivers. “We are lucky here in New Mexico on the Rio Grande,” she says. “The
type of guide that’s here isn’t necessarily the younger demographic of college students that a lot of other places see.” That’s not to say there isn’t some pressure to perform in front of men. “Sometimes they’re a lot bigger than you, sometimes they’re a lot taller, and they like to push through everything,” says Amanda Grant, who led trips on the Snake and Colorado rivers before coming to work for New Mexico River Adventures. “It’s fun to go out there and prove that females can do it too, and you can be just as good as any of the male raft guides.” Passengers also sometimes echo those stigmas of lowered expectations for women. “They’ll see the big buff men, and

they’ll see some smaller females, and be like, ‘Are you sure you can row this boat?’” Grant says. “And you’re like, ‘Of course I can. I could flip this on you if I wanted to.’” In companies where women comfortably take control, guides credit those in charge for creating a hostile environment for gender inequality. “Those of us who are in our first season are really blessed to have landed at this company, where there’s such a huge female population of raft guides,” says Mikva, with New Mexico River Adventures. Meyer agrees there’s “a lot of respect all around. If you work hard, you show up, you do your job, the standards are the same for everyone.”

Duo blazes the trail for Santa Fe’s first ultramarathon
BY STEV E N H SI E H steven@ s fre p o r te r.co m
O
n a refreshingly cool Monday afternoon, Peter Olson, Taylor Pardue and a remarkably well-behaved border collie named Sten take a breather at the northernmost tip of the Dale Ball Trails, where the juniper and piñón trees recede. This clearing sits roughly halfway through the 50 miles of trails the two have mapped out as the course for an ultramarathon here, the Ultra Santa Fe. From this spot, they can survey the mountains that make up the heart of their race. The next section is an “ass-kicker,” as Pardue describes it. Runners will cross into La Piedra Trail, a link between the city and the forest that begins with 31 steep switchbacks. Pardue leads the way down the switchbacks, peeling around each turn at such a velocity, one marvels that he doesn’t fly into a tree. Olson jogs behind, as fast as someone with plates screwed above his right ankle can, while Sten hops on and off the trail like a child who has eaten too much candy. “That’s going to be tough, especially after you’ve already run 20 miles,” Pardue says. They take another break, as Sten laps water from a nearby creek, and then continue running. For years, Olson and Pardue talked about organizing a long race through the Santa Fe National Forest, one that would not only challenge the most hardened athlete but also highlight the diverse and sublime beauty of our city’s backyard. The push they needed came in macabre fashion. In November, while working on his roof, Olson got his foot caught in a ladder. When it toppled over, he came down with it, breaking his right tibia and fibula, and dislocating his foot. “Taylor called me up and said, ‘Hey, now that your leg is broken and you can’t run, let’s plan one,” Olson recalls. Within months, the duo had designed a 50-mile course encircling a wide swath of mostly forested land, passing through canyons and foothills, crossing over streams and mountain peaks. The race begins and ends at the Santa Fe ski basin, trails all the way out to Rancho Viejo and climbs up Tesuque Peak, for a total elevation change of 28,000 feet, according to the race website. Eight aid stations will provide water and other replenishments. Pacers will be allowed to join runners at the Sierra del Norte parking lot. “I think we’ll be able to provide a lot of people with their chance to push their limits,” Olson says. Runners who prefer shorter distances can participate in a

concurrent 50K, 13-mile, or 1-mile uphill race. About 40 people have signed up so far, including runners from California, Texas and Tennessee. The organizers are shooting for 250. Olson and Pardue obtained permits from a long list of land managers, including the city, the county, tribes, private landowners, and most critically, the US Forest Service. “I’ve talked with the mayor about it, and he’s enthusiastic,” Olson says. “Almost everybody we have talked to has been very enthusiastic.”
You can push yourself to what you think was your limit, and then you can go beyond that limit and feel more confident in your everyday life to reach a challenge.
Representatives from Ski Santa Fe agreed to open a chairlift for attendees. For race organizers, it’s a dream location. Parking is plentiful, and portable toilets unnecessary. A band and beer garden will provide entertainment. Ultrarunning, a sport that involves planting one foot in front of the other over unfathomably long distances, usually on natural surface trails, is in the midst of a boom. Spurred in large part by Christopher McDougall’s 2009 bestseller, Born to Run, the sport has evolved from an eccentricity to a full-fledged competitive market, with corporate sponsors and profes-
sional athletes. According to Ultrarunning Magazine, there were 293 ultrarunning races in 2004. In 2015, there were 1,357. For the organizers of Ultra Santa Fe, it only makes sense for our city to join in. “When we first started talking about doing this race, we were thinking, Santa Fe has beautiful mountains. We have great people. There are really great athletes here. Why don’t we have more of a running, outdoor culture here?” Pardue says. “A big reason why we’re doing this is to help develop this culture. I don’t mean moving away from this arts and culture economy, but diversifying the economy in Santa Fe. Building races like this could get people really excited and draw people in from out of state—younger people, especially.” Olson started running in junior high when he lived in Ethiopia with his missionary parents. He never stopped. Pardue started later in life, when he and his dog decided they preferred running to walking. Last summer, the two ran from Santa Fe to the Santa Barbara Campground in the Carson National Forest. “It was only 40 miles, but that might be what solidified our passion for wilderness running,” Pardue says. “It took us a bit of time, but it’s just such an experience that’s hard to replace. Just being out there. Just having this simple backpack.” “Filtering water as you go, in lakes and streams,” Olson adds. The run took them 15 hours. Both favor trails over roads and share a penchant for testing how much they can punish their bodies. “You learn a lot about your mind,” Olson says. “You can push yourself to what you think was your limit, and then you can go beyond that limit and feel more confident in your everyday life to reach a challenge.” All Ultra Santa Fe races, including a 50-miler, 50K, 13-miler, and 1-miler, take place on Sept. 10, 2016.

Officials and volunteers are working to link the city’s trail networks
O
JULIE ANN GRIMM
n a sweltering Friday morning, Tim Rogers carries his GPS unit to map an unmarked stretch of trail near the Dale Ball access lot at the intersection of Cerro Gordo and Upper Canyon roads. “This is what we call the jungle section,” Rogers says, ambling beside the willows and wild roses that grow near a narrow portion of the Santa Fe River. Eventually, he reaches a clearing where a city water treatment facility used to sit. When it came down, Rogers and a group of volunteers almost immediately got to work with rakes and shovels, developing a single-track trail. Planners are calling it the “Dale Ball Connector.” (They decided against “South-Central Connector” when someone pointed out that the name invoked a Los Angeles neighborhood.) For years, if hikers or cyclists wanted to move from the system of Dale Ball trails that lay south of the Santa Fe River to the central section that stretches north toward Hyde Park Road, they had to step off the natural trail and onto paved road for about one-tenth of a mile. When the new connector opens to the public later this year, that will change. “It’s an example of what we can accomplish with volunteers,” Rogers says. The Dale Ball Connector is one of the first projects to grow out of an initiative called the Grand Unified Trails System, colloquially known as GUTS, which

seeks to improve trail connectedness throughout Santa Fe. The central vision of GUTS, spurred on by the Fat Tire Society and Santa Fe Conservation Trust, is to establish a continuous loop linking Santa Fe’s outlying natural trails. Planners also intend to connect paved trails in the city’s urban core to the natural trail systems on its edges. The Dale Ball Connector is what Rogers calls “lowhanging fruit.” More ambitious plans, including a connecting trail between Frank S Ortiz Dog Park and La Tierra system, will require clearing more hurdles, namely obtaining property rights.
“Actually physically building trails is easy. With a little bit of experience and the right tools, anybody can do it,” says Tim Fowler, the Fat Tire Society representative on the GUTS steering committee. “The processes to make it official and legal are the hardest tasks. It seems painfully slow.” As our city’s reputation as an outdoors destination has steadily risen over the past couple decades, officials have greenlighted a number of projects to make it easier for hikers, bikers and equestrians to get around. But as with GUTS, legal, political and financial obstacles often stand in the way of execution, delaying projects for years or even decades. A plan to develop a 15-mile, continuous trail along the Santa Fe River, connecting downtown to the urban boundary near the city wastewater treatment plant west of Hwy. 599, has been in the works since the late 1980s. Through 2012, the city worked on developing a stretch of paved trail from the intersection of West Alameda and St. Francis Drive to the west edge of Frenchy’s Field. From that point, the river trail exists only in patches. A proposed section from Frenchy’s Field to Siler Road has been in the works for at least five years, delayed by troubles obtaining rights from private property owners. “One of the main issues was we had several areas of overlapping ownership claims going back decades,” says Scott Kaseman, the river trail project manager. Having closed rights on six of 15 properties (another six are in the process), Kaseman aims to begin construction of the mile-long section in November. He says it will take another 12 to 15 years to reach the treatment plant, during which time planners will work on finalizing designs, as well as acquiring property and funding. Kaseman has already requested cash for the next proposed stretch, between Siler Road and San Isidro, and hopes to put the $6 million project up to a vote on the upcoming November ballot. “It’s been a lot slower than we thought,” says County Commissioner Kathy Holian. A long-awaited plan to construct an underpass north of the critical intersection of Cerrillos and St. Francis finally looks like it will come to fruition after decades of talk. Railroad tracks that run through the crossing have long been an annoyance, even a safety hazard, for cyclists. Rogers tells SFR that he has personally witnessed two minor accidents at the intersection. In May, the city approved nearly $5 million worth of construction contracts for the project, which will be mostly federally funded. They’re shooting for an August groundbreaking, according to Santa Fe Public Works Supervisor Leroy Pacheco. “It really puts us on the map as far as taking pedestrian and bicycling accessibility really seriously,” Pacheco says. Back on the unmarked connector on the Dale Ball Trails, Rogers stops a few yards from a roadside trailhead at a makeshift post that marks Junction 28, which he installed last week. An updated trail map is taped on top of the stake, with the words “New Junction” written with a red Sharpie below. It’s just a placeholder, he says, before they replace all 44 junction signs this summer to reflect the ongoing changes in this still-growing system. SFREPORTER.COM

Now he tours the world, speaking on clean energy and being an allaround champion of the environment. “We must, not need to, must start thinking about how we are using our energy,” he says. He also notes that he favors positivity. “My job is to inspire change to happen; I’m not a legislator or a politician,” Swan says. “I am just a survivor who goes to places made of ice.” (Maria Egolf-Romero)

It’s a great way to begin the summer and a very New Mexican lineup. “These bands felt to me like they just had this really great local vibe,” Delheim says. “I’m very pleased.” In addition to the usual Plaza shows, the Southside of town also hosts four Saturday shows this year, a mini-series of which Delheim seems quite proud—as well he should be. Other fun surprises abound all summer, but Delheim says, “I’m particularly excited that Meow Wolf is sponsoring the night on August 24 … don’t even know what they’re doing yet, but Vince [Kadlubex, MW’s CEO] said he wants to make it special, and that’s good enough for me.” So there you have it, Santa Fe. Think of the Bandstand like your own weirdo teenager who probably just needs a little extra love. (Alex De Vore) 14th ANNUAL SANTA FE BANDSTAND OPENING NIGHT WITH LONE PIÑÓN AND NOSOTROS 6 pm Tuesday, July 5. Free. Santa Fe Plaza, Old Santa Fe Trail and Palace Ave.
Cannupa Hanska Luger tackles big concepts with his art, like identity and heritage, and the Institute of American Indian Art graduate brings these ideas to the Center for Contemporary Arts this Friday. Hanska Luger tells SFR the show “focuses on themes surrounding the necessity of oral tradition.” Performances and socially interactive activities are planned to take place in the exhibit as well. “Through participation in the experience further than simply spectator, the work asks us to remember that we all are a part of everything, anywhere,” he says.

MUSIC RIDE THE WAVE Hot damn, Natasha Kmeto sounds good! Like, so good. The Portland, Oregon-based producer/ vocalist pulls from any number of decades of pop, R&B, and hip-hop sensibilities, overlays electronic beats with catchy blips and bloops, and uses all of the above for one of the most emotionally charged and dancey sounds of all time. Think of it like a familiar yet futuristic version of new wave and Kmeto as curator/ producer of some of the most satisfying backing tracks you’ve ever heard in your life. “Electronicinfluenced R&B is kind of my short elevator pitch,” Kmeto tells SFR. House DJ Doubting Thomas opens. (ADV)

Let’s say you had a kid the year the Santa Fe Bandstand began its yearly run of free summer shows. That kid would now be 14. That’s middle school, y’all, and, like teenagers, the series has hit a bit of an identity crisis. “When this all started years ago, there was such a need for things to do that it made a lot of sense,” organizer Michael Delheim tells SFR. “But now there are so many things going on all the time in Santa Fe that I start to wonder if we’re relevant anymore.” Allow us to put your mind at ease, Michael—of course you are! See, even if the Bandstand didn’t bring in bigname touring acts to play alongside the best and brightest locals, it would still be two months of free concerts outside. Have you guys been outside around here in the summer? It’s magic. “We’re going to keep on doing what we do, which is to bring in eight weeks of completely free music,” Delheim continues, “and it’s still a great place to spend a summer night.” This year’s series kicks off with the brilliant Hispano/Mexican folk music stylings of Lone Piñón as well as the

DANCE
Local flamenco dancer La Emi takes it to the next level BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
F
lamenco is one of those music-based artforms that isn’t just about a sound. As local dancer Emily Grimm, aka La Emi, puts it, “We kind of have our own language and terminology, [and] we’re there to support one another; it’s teamwork.” Grimm refers to the three basic components of flamenco: the guitarist, the singer and the dancer, the latter of which falls under her purview. Certainly most of Santa Fe has heard of EmiArte Flamenco, the local company founded by Grimm and her godfather, the illustrious guitarist Vicente Griego. What they don’t know, however, is that it’s the culmination of 20+ years of intensive training on Grimm’s part and the realization of a lifelong dream. Having grown up north of Santa Fe in Chamisal (which, by the way, is where celebrated Hispano folk musician Cipriano Vigil hangs his hat), Grimm bleeds New Mexico. “I’m proud to be from Northern New Mexico,” she says without an ounce of sarcasm, “and my vision has always been to serve my community.” It’s a vision that began when Grimm started lessons through Maria Benitez’ Institute for Spanish Arts when she was barely 4 years old. Her father had worked the box office for flamenco events, and she says she wanted to be a flamenco dancer from as far back as she remembers. “The way I like to think about it is that God puts us on this earth for a reason,” Grimm says, “and this has always been my calling.” As such, Grimm would go on to receive lessons and participate in workshops wherever possible. It’s a level of determination that also led to an upcoming dance apprenticeship in Spain (the homeland of
La Emi danced flamenco so hard that she transformed into a painting. What have you ever done? Nothin’ for no one!
flamenco) with celebrated master Carmela Greco. Grimm met Greco through her uncle and says she looks forward to her trip, not only as a means to improve her craft but because “flamenco is the ultimate expression of oneself.” But how does this all play out on a local level? For starters, by the time you read this, EmiArte will be smack-dab in the middle of its summer run of shows at Skylight. In addition to the choreography conceived by Grimm, the troupe welcomes celebrated flamenco guitarists Andres Vadin and Jorge Robledo alongside master dancer (and Grimm’s cousin) Elena Osuna. “It’s something that we love to do and something that we love to share, and it’s something that exists between and connects families,” Grimm explains, practically shouting with excitement. “Santa Fe has been so welcoming for flamenco since day one, in my experience, and having studied in different areas of the country and the world, I can say that this will be some of the best flamenco you can see.” Grimm says that her event will be family-friendly and accessible for people of all tastes. Even those who are not familiar with the artform are encouraged to attend and learn something new.
“Let’s say someone doesn’t know much about what flamenco is,” Grimm advises, “well, I want them to feel like they’re coming with us on this kind of journey that tells them the story. … They’ll be able to interpret it in their own individual ways.” Oh, and Skylight will also be serving up Spanish cuisine, so if you’re one of these people for whom paella is a big deal, it might be worth it to go just for that. It’s important to point out that even though La Emi is young, she displays a love for the music and dance of flamenco that knows no bounds. This is a seriously studied dancer who was not only born into a musical family, but who has cultivated a love and passion that extends well beyond her birthright. To put it another way, how much longer do you honestly suppose it will be that such a world-class dancer—the kind who receives apprenticeships in Spain—is going to hang around Santa Fe? This young woman could basically write her own ticket in life, and that’s saying something. EMIARTE FLAMENCO

OPERA
Santa Fe Opera hits a big milestone
I
BY JOH N STEG E
t was 1957, just Elvis and Ike and me. I’d made my Metropolitan Opera debut a year earlier (Aida: Ethiopian captive). Now—a bitter July night during the Santa Fe Opera’s risky-ambitious debut season, seven operas that wet first summer. The scheduled opening night for The Rake’s Progress had been rained out, so an icy evening now greeted the rescheduled premier, with Stravinsky sitting up front. We all shivered in sympathy with tenor Loren Driscoll, mostly naked in Tom Rakewell’s Bedlam scene; we all knew that this would be a night to remember. Charles MacKay, SFO’s general director since 2008, missed the show, his parents deeming that a tot of 7 wasn’t quite ready for Mother Goose’s bawdyhouse, but his sister sang in the chorus. Young Charles had to wait two years until a Youth Night Fledermaus knocked him dead. “That—orchestra, chorus, voices—just did it for me. I was, and obviously still am, hooked,” MacKay says. A couple weeks ago, before the company’s 60th season opening on July 1, we sat down for a brisk glance back at a few notable evenings since ’57. MacKay thought back to 1970: “Donizetti’s Anna Bolena. I was a mere pit boy, but the orchestra needed a fourth horn.” Fast forward to 2011, with MacKay now the boss: “Opening night, our first-ever Faust, with a forest fire raging in the Jemez making for voice-killing air pollution. My most stressful day; never again.” Segue to a quick duettino on remembrance of evenings past: CM: “That eye-dazzling 1974 L’Egisto, with George Shirley, our first baroque venture.” SFR: “Bicentennial year’s The Mother of Us All, Robert Indiana’s brash designs, Ashley Putnam on roller-skates.” SFR: “John Reardon as Hindemith’s Cardillac in 1967, and then the opera house in ashes next morning.”
Santa Fe Opera’s Charles MacKay lives and breathes opera.
CM: “After the Great Fire, the second house ready— a miracle—in ’68 with eight operas including a Rosenkavalier with Helen Vanni.” CM: “That 2012 smash hit: Rossini’s Maometto II, Pisaroni and Crocetto just killing it.” And so it went. MacKay looked back at SFO’s beginnings: “Founding father, John Crosby, set our template from day one. Finding the finest young singers, encouraging new operas, establishing a repertory pattern we still follow,” he says. “Inventing vocal and technical apprenticeships, now copied throughout the opera business, creating and maintaining the way-ahead artistic and administrative standard for every summer opera festival in America and, with solid financial support from donors and patrons, we fill 89 percent of our seats—last season the Met filled 72 percent.” MacKay’s audiences will see more physical plant improvements this summer, with phase two of the $45 million “Setting the Stage” program completed. (“We still need $5 million, the hardest to come up with, to finish phase three this winter.”) Out front: more rest rooms and bars, a larger terrace, a two-story Opera Club. MacKay’s even prouder of the enormous back-
stage accomplishments: a vast new scene shop, a stateof-the-art paint shop and prop room, and much more. Production facilities were a-swarm as we walked through: apprentices welding, painting, set-building, with the company roster soon to be 700 strong. Puccini’s Madam Butterfly opened the house 60 years ago. This July 1, another Puccini: The Girl of the Golden West, an exuberant fable of gold-rush California whose determined heroine gets her man while the noose hangs high. Patricia Racette sings the Girl, one of Puccini’s toughest assignments, in a rambunctious co-production with the English National Opera. In ’57, Mozart’s Così fan Tutte; in ’16, Mozart’s Don Giovanni: the greatest go-to-hell opera ever written, opening July 2. The show’s got everything—rape, murder, fisticuffs and a vengeful ghost, plus that libertine Don Juan who doesn’t give a damn (until he does). Daniel Okulitch, seen in his birthday suit, sort of, as Menotti’s Last Savage here in 2011, is the don. Traditionally, every summer includes a rarity or an established piece as yet unknown here. John Crosby was no friend to the serious 19th-century French repertory, witness that Faust, delayed for 54 years. Bizet’s Pearl Fishers finally got a hearing in 2012. Now up, another Gounod on July 16: his Bardic comedy with a sad ending, Roméo et Juliette. Ailyn Pérez and Stephen Costello embody the star-crossed, with SFO’s chief conductor, Harry Bicket, in the pit. Crosby pioneered Richard Strauss’ lesser-known operas, with the company proffering six American premieres during the Crosby years. Ariadne auf Naxos had appeared in season one; his final opera, Capriccio (a premier in 1958), opens July 23. Billed as “a conversation piece,” there’s nothing quite like it in the operatic repertory. Will the Countess Madeleine choose the poet or the composer? And with the most glorious closing scene Strauss ever wrote, should we care? Most seasons, SFO offers a premier, either American or world. In ’57, Marvin David Levy’s The Tower, a SFO commission, filled half of a double bill—an inventive one-act work that I recall with pleasure. Mason Bates’ The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs had been scheduled for 2016, now delayed till next summer. Samuel Barber’s haunting, haunted Vanessa takes its place on July 30. Menotti’s libretto hints at Dinesen, and Barber’s lush neo-Romantic score lingers in the ear. This may be the sleeper of the 60th. Ageless Picasso once quipped, “One starts to get young at 60, and then it’s too late.” Sorry, Pablo. For the SFO, it’s just a beginning.

Is it a super douchey move to pretend to be a lesbian to avoid unwanted male attention? I’m a straight single woman in my mid-thirties and a very plausible lesbian in terms of sartorial stereotypes. Occasionally a guy will hit on me in an awkward or creepy way and I’ll trot out a line about “not being into men.” Most recently I used this pose when a courier broke down in my driveway and I invited him in for a glass of water while he waited for the tow truck. It was really uncomfortable and a little threatening when—after establishing that I lived alone—he asked me out. I guess I use this as an excuse so as not to hurt their feelings, but also to shut the conversation down as quickly as possible if I’m feeling vulnerable. Is this a harmless white lie, or a major cop-out that would offend actual lesbians? Can you suggest some better strategies for when you’re feeling cornered by a dude you’re not interested in? -Lady’s Entirely Zany Identity Enquiry “I’m not offended by this,” said someone I thought was an actual lesbian. I shared your question with this person—a woman I thought was an actual lesbian— because I wasn’t offended by it either, but wanted to check with an actual lesbian just to be safe. Turns out my friend doesn’t identify as a lesbian, but as a woman-who-loves-womenbut-does-not-identify-as-a-lesbian-becauseshe-sometimes-finds-the-odd-dude-hot. So for the record: my friend is speaking for the WWLWBDNIAALBSSFTODH community here—which often intersects/sexts with the lesbian community—and not the lesbian community. “But even though I’m not offended by it, I have to say I’ve found the ‘I’m into women’ line to be totally ineffective,” said my not-a-lesbian friend. “The creeps I’ve used it on get even more riled up after hearing that line. Sometimes I check out and start ignoring these creeps as if they’re wallpaper, but that can rile them up too. Same with a polite ‘I’m not interested.’ The only success I’ve had with warding off creeps is by actually yelling at them, asking them if they’d like to be treated the way they’re treating me, and if their mothers, sisters, et cetera, would appreciate that treatment.” My not-a-lesbian friend—who, as it turns out, identifies more strongly with the term “bisexual” than she does WWLWBDNIAALBSSFTODH— has also had some luck with the lose-your-shit strategy (e.g., screaming, yelling, and waving your arms around like a crazy person). “You kind of have to treat these people like bears at a campsite,” said my not-a-lesbian friend. “You have to make yourself big and loud and scary so they don’t get closer. Because they will get closer.” I have a difficult question. A dear young friend has recently started being a stripper for work. I won’t lie: it tears me up. All I feel is sadness and worry—such a nice soul for what I feel is a notso-nice environment. I really hope I’m wrong. Is there any way in which this can be okay? My thoughts are that no matter how strong a woman is, no one can forget what they see or have to deal with. I worry for the sake of a nice person getting her ass handed to her too often and potentially breaking beyond repair. My gut emotion is that it doesn’t matter how well you handle these situations—what matters is the fact that you see too much ugliness, too often, and get to a point where you forget that there are actually nice humans out there. I guess my question is: How well can anyone handle this? -My Endangered Lady
Googling “white knight syndrome.” But if your conscience requires you to say something, say something that opens up a conversation, rather than something so larded with shame, fear, and judgment that it shuts the conversation down. Instead of saying something like “Oh my God! What were you thinking?! You’ll be shredded emotionally and sexually! You could break beyond repair!”, try something like, “Stripping isn’t something I would feel comfortable doing myself. But I’m your friend, and if you need to talk with someone about your new job—if you need to decompress or vent—I’m here for you.” I’ve been lying to myself. I told myself that stability and friendship were more important to me than sex. I’ve been with my husband for twelve years, and we’ve been married for five of those. We were best friends, and I was already in love before we started dating and before we ever had sex. I should have known in the beginning that we weren’t sexually compatible, but I chose to ignore it (or I chose stability and friendship). I chose my best friend, and have been suffering ever since. Luckily, I listen to your advice on a regular basis, and I’ve started having more open conversations about my feelings and my wants and needs. About a year ago, my husband and I decided to open our relationship. This was all my idea, and I’m not sure he’s fully into it. We agreed to a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, and a month ago we finally acted on it. I met someone in an open relationship and had sex with them. It was amazing—everything about it. In the end, I didn’t feel guilty, but I did want to tell my husband. I still feel the need to get his approval, but I also know that he doesn’t want to hear it. If he gave me the go-ahead, even though everything was my idea, should I feel guilty, or just happy for finally getting what I needed from someone? Are there baby steps I can take to tell my husband these things, or do I just keep them to myself? I feel like this is saving our marriage, but society probably just looks at me like a cheating whore. -Feelings Are Insanely, Terribly Hard For Unsure Lovers You have your husband’s approval to do what you did, but his approval was contingent upon you not telling him what you did. Honor the commitment you made to your husband, FAITHFUL, by keeping your mouth shut. You’ll doubtless have conversations in the future about your relationship, and about monogamy, and you can ask him if he wants to stick with “don’t ask, don’t tell.” If he says yes, continue to keep your mouth shut. I’m a (mostly) straight guy in his mid-twenties. For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved wearing women’s lingerie. It turns me on, but it also makes me feel comfortable. I’ve never worn women’s clothing in public, but I’ve recently been wearing it more and more around my house. It just feels right! Side note: I’ve also recently been obsessed with being pegged by my female partner, and I love the reversal of roles. Would I be considered genderqueer, genderfluid, or what? And would I be considered part of the LGBT community? -Frequently Excited Miss Genderqueer and genderfluid aren’t kinks, FEM, they’re identities. And I don’t know what you mean by that parenthetical “mostly” you dropped in there before “straight.” If it means you’re attracted to dudes—regardless of whether you’ve ever acted on that attraction— you would indeed be considered part of the LGBT community, under the “B” designation. But if all you meant was, “My cock gets hard when I wear panties and think about getting my ass pegged by my girlfriend,” then you’re just another kinky straight guy.

The Santa Fe Farmers Market kicks off its Southside location again this summer with a presence at the Santa Fe Place Mall on Tuesday nights, between July 5 and at least Sept. 27 (longer if the weather holds). From kids dance performances to photo exhibitions and mariachi, there’s more to do than just buy vegetables—although that’s certainly intended as the leading event. The market runs from 3 to 6 pm, and market director Lani Ersfeld says music, cooking demonstrations and other extras will happen every week. (Julie Ann Grimm) What is the benefit of shopping at the Tuesday Southside market versus the one in the Railyard? The Southside farmers market is a wonderful little market. It sort of resembles a lot more of the grassroots market that our Railyard market started as. It’s held in a parking lot, so of course, parking is never an issue. It’s absolutely a different location in town, and frankly we feel there’s a huge need on that side of town, especially because it is a known food desert down there, and so that is why we feel really passionate about keeping that farmers market going and keeping it as vibrant as we possibly can. More than being a market, we try to make it a sort of a hub for resources. So not only will you be able to get fresh produce, but you’ll be able to get a free health screening with the mobile county health van, you’ll be able to learn how to cook the things you are buying that day, because we have free cooking demonstrations and sampling with a nutritionist every week. We always have music. We try to have a lot of fun things going on, and we just try and make it a really great market.

What are your favorite things to buy at the market? Absolutely the zucchini. The season of the Southside market is one of the highest zucchini times of the year. You can make calabacitas and enchiladas and make all those fresh things, but then I love to freeze it and make zucchini bread all the winter long as well and make little treats with it. A lot of the stuff that is high season, you can get and freeze and be able to utilize. Are you getting more shoppers than previous years? It’s a huge goal of ours, to create higher numbers of shoppers every year. We are trying to appeal to all the different folks who might want to come down. We have been doing a lot of work with the Santa Fe Community College, and we have been doing hand-fliering in the Tierra Contenta neighborhood. We are trying to appeal to some of those businesses and some of those people who use Cerrillos Road. Our market is going to be on the Cerrillos side of the mall rather than back by the JC Penny, so we hope that will draw more a lot more traffic of people driving by and seeing that we are there. We track very closely our EBT and our WIC dollars that are spent, and our EBT is doubling every year. And our double-up program [that lets SNAP participants double their dollars] has gotten new funding, and now there’s no limit to how much you can double. So that is going to be really incredible for a lot of folks, too.

Coffee Pops to the Rescue!
GWYNETH DOLAND

Upgrade your caffeine delivery mechanism BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
here have been so many stories in here about drinks lately that you guys probably think SFR is on a liquid diet. Not true! We are voracious eaters. But in the summer, we crave cold drinks, and iced coffee becomes much more appealing than a hot cup. The problem with iced coffee, of course, is dilution. You pour coffee over ice cubes, and it becomes a watery mess. Hence, coffee ice cubes. You know, you take the bottom of today’s pot and pour it into ice cube trays to chill tomorrow’s drinks? That’s genius, for sure. So is cold brew. You put ground coffee and cold water in a pitcher (fitted with a mesh filter if you have one) and let it rest overnight. The result is a smooth, full-flavored coffee that you can either gently reheat or serve cold. Here’s where trouble comes in: If you want to have iced coffee, why not make the cold brew stronger, more concentrated, so that when it melts the ice cubes, you get a coffee equilibrium? But what really happens is that you end up drinking chilled jet fuel— because meh, who needs ice cubes, I’m so tired this morning—and then you’re wide-eyed, panting and shaking so hard that you can’t type at your desk, and people around you begin to strongly suspect that you have a methamphetamine problem. Long story short, this is how we arrive at coffee popsicles: single-serving icebergs of coffee with just enough flavor to view them as a treat and not as a lifesustaining bodily fluid. I picked up a mocha mint popsicle after breakfast one morning, and when it started to melt too fast, I dumped it into my coffee, and it was awesome. I could do that every day. Note that these are strictly a morning or midday treat for most people, but you can certainly use decaf to make popsicles that are fun and tasty but without the kick. You can use cold brew, chilled espresso, leftover cold coffee or whatever you’re in love with right now. And you get to taste the mixture before you freeze it, so you know what you’re getting. You can buy popsicle molds at the grocery store, cookware shops or big box stores. Look for molds that have a drip-catching feature. Or you could do it the oldfashioned way: put popsicle sticks in little Dixie cups and fill them up. Whatever you choose, the volume will vary.
Coffee popsicles are all we can think about anymore. Sorry, loved ones.
HORCHATA POPS This recipe calls for Rice Dream Horchata because that’s what I stumbled onto at the store, and it is super easy. It makes an icy pop, though. If you want a creamier pop, you can substitute cream, vanilla, cinnamon and sugar to taste. Makes 4 (4-ounce) pops -- 1¼ cups strong coffee, cold -- ½ cup Rice Dream Horchata (or another horchata) Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze 4 hours or overnight. MINT MOCHA POPS The easiest way to flavor these is with peppermint extract, which you can find at the grocery store. You can also pour hot milk over fresh mint leaves and let it sit for a while. Or you can make a simple syrup with fresh mint and use it to sweeten this (and iced tea, lemonade, mojitos etc.). Makes 4 (4-ounce) pops
Put the chocolate in a mug, add the milk and stir to combine as well as you can. Heat it in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second increments until the chocolate shavings melt or the cocoa melds with the milk. Whisk to combine. Stir in the coffee and sweeten to taste. Add the tiniest amount of peppermint extract you can possibly manage. Taste, then add more if necessary. It’s incredibly powerful. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze 4 hours or overnight. WHITE RUSSIAN POPS Because why not, OK? You either get a little warm and fuzzy at breakfast or have a little post-prandial perkup. Kahlua is good, Bailey’s is good, chocolate liqueur is good, a little Irish whiskey would be fine. Use what you have on the bar. Makes 4 (4-ounce) pops -- ¾ cup very strong coffee, cold -- ¾ cup milk, cream, whatever
-- ¼ cup cocoa powder or shaved chocolate
-- ¼ cup Kahlua
-- ¼ cup cream, milk, rice milk, whatever
-- sweetener, to taste
-- 1½ cups strong coffee, cold or at room temp -- sweetener, to taste -- 1 dash peppermint extract
Mix all ingredients together until the sweetener is completely dissolved. Pour the mixture into popsicle molds and freeze 4 hours or overnight. SFREPORTER.COM

DRINKS
hen it’s this hot, there’s nothing to do but drink and nap your way through it. I recommend these cocktails, a Vornado and Netflix. See you when the monsoons start.
BOURBON MONSOON This is a riff on the whiskey smash, an old drink related to the mint julep and the mojito. If you have mint growing in your garden, this is a great way to use it. It’s traditional to just muddle the booze with the mint and lemon, but come on. You realize that’s just pretty much doing a shot of bourbon, right? When it’s hot out, you want something that’s going to take a bunch of ice and stay cold a while. This one uses lemon juice. • • • •
8 fresh mint leaves 2 ounces bourbon 1 ounce lemon juice 1 ounce simple syrup (or 1 tablespoon sugar)
Put all of the ingredients in a cocktail shaker and shake the hell out of it. Shake, shake, shake until you’ve bruised the mint enough that you can taste it in the bourbon. Strain into a tall glass full of ice. Garnish with more mint. Top it off with club soda if you like. VARIATIONS Shake each drink with fresh mint leaves if you’re only making a few; if you’re pouring for a crowd, then it’s easier to make a simple syrup and infuse it with mint. Try using Thai basil (serious!) or a ginger simple syrup. PRICKLY SPRITZ Prickly pear syrup is easy to make if you have ripe fruits (essentially: boil the fruit with enough water to cover; strain; add an equal amount of sugar and simmer 5 minutes; add lemon juice to taste). You can also buy it, skip it or substitute another brightly colored syrup. You really only need a tiny drop of the syrup to color your drink an electric magenta. The spritz is an eminently refreshing cocktail for a hot afternoon. You can serve it as an aperitif at full strength or dilute with more club soda if you’re in for a marathon of patio drinking. You can add a lot of soda before it loses its charm. • 3 parts chilled Prosecco or sparkling wine • 2 parts Aperol • 1 splash club soda • prickly pear syrup Pour into two rocks glasses, garnish with a slice of orange or a strip of de-spined 34

Free State of Jones Review: Civil Bore BY ALEX DE VORE alex@sfreporter.com
There’s just something about war movies that draw us in as audiences. Oh sure, there’s the history and the shaping of nations and all that, but there’s also much to be said for the stark realism of a well-done battle scene or the chance to get a view of the terrifying conditions therein. Just look at Saving Private Ryan or A Very Long Engagement, and you know what we mean. This is the premise that draws us into the new
Civil War drama, Free State of Jones, but the war itself winds up playing more of a backdrop to the politically charged goings-on which, coupled with some degree of revisionist history, ultimately leaves the new film from director Gary Ross (he wrote Big with Tom Hanks and probably other movies) feeling far too drawn out. Confederate soldier Newton Knight (Matthew McConaughey) is sick and tired of fighting a losing battle for wealthy landowners, and when a young family member is conscripted and then
SCORE CARD
just the worst in those days, we didn’t need a whole other subplot going down to prove it—everyone already knows! This adds painfully unnecessary length and overshadows more important story elements such as Knight’s buddy Moses (played excellently by Benjamin Button’s Mahershala Ali) working to provide black people and former slaves with the power to vote. The whole thing smacks of the unfortunate white savior trope in film, and even if these were actual events, it diminishes the role that black people had in their own storyline during and after the Civil War. McConaughey continues his reign of being a super-intense dude, but if he’s not careful, he’ll have used up all of his True Detective/Dallas Buyer’s Club goodwill before he knows it. It is conceivable that future high school history classes will be shown this film, but it’s just as possible it will be forgotten entirely due to its extra (read, boring) padding. It’s a damn shame they didn’t do better, too; Civil War films don’t exactly grow on trees, and we had high hopes. .

killed right before his eyes, he just sort of leaves. Like, seriously—he just walks away and heads home to Jones County, Mississippi, and his wife Serena (The Americans’ Keri Russell). She’s pretty bummed out by his hero complex, though, and after watching him stand up to the Confederate envoy that comes to tax local farms (by taking all of their crops and livestock) for the bazillionth time, she leaves him. This somehow lands him in a nearby swamp with a small group of runaway slaves, and together they become a sort of safe haven for deserters and runaways. Naturally, this doesn’t much impress the nearby general and his cronies, and so a sort of cat-and-mouse game plays out over the next five years. In this time, we see Knight’s Robin Hood-esque antics withstand everything from the KKK to the changing of Mississippi law to counteract emancipation and so on. Knight develops an even stronger sense of what’s right, becomes buddies with the slaves, fights for the poor and downtrodden and falls for a beautiful young slave named Rachel (Gugu Mbatha-Raw of Jupiter Ascending). The whole thing is reportedly based on actual events, but once Jones starts to toggle between the events of the 1860s and a descendent of Knight’s struggles with outdated and racist marriage laws 85 years in the future, it becomes hard to continue paying attention. If the goal here was to prove to us that Southern white people were

THE LOBSTER “An interesting take on societal pressures that dictate we must be paired off if we ever wish to be truly happy”
LAST CAB TO DARWIN With a few notable exceptions, our modern culture does a piss-poor job of confronting mortality. We’re bad at dealing with our own impending death, and we’re worse when the death of a loved one is looming. Medical advances mean we try to keep ourselves (and each other) alive as long as possible, even if it involves long stretches bedridden in hospitals with weird machines keeping the Grim Reaper at bay. Despite that, we can grasp the concept that letting a loved one die, or helping him, is OK—as long as that loved one is a dog or cat or horse. According to Last Cab to Darwin, it’s not just America where we suck at this. People in Australia are also bad at dying. Rex (Michael Caton) knew all that when he realized he had stomach cancer. And when a surgery that leaves a foot-long scar across his belly doesn’t get it all, he’s not interested in the hospital. What does pique his interest is a doctor on the other side of the continent who’s trying to establish the country’s test case on euthanasia. That leaves much of Last Cab to pass by as a kind of morbid road-trip flick, with Rex picking up a random, handsome aboriginal companion named Tilli, then Tilli (Mark Coles Smith) picking up a random blonde barkeep from London, who happens to
be a nurse on hiatus from her real job (Emma Hamilton) and can help Rex stay alive long enough to get permission to kill himself using a medical device rigged with morphine. While these are the kind of relationships that really only happen on TV, Rex has meanwhile left a real relationship in the dust. This plotline, greased by the charming rough edges on Ningali LawfordWolf as Polly, explores not only the deep racial divide between white Aussies and Australia’s Indigenous people, but also how abruptly abandoning those who really know and love you isn’t any better of a way to die than the aforementioned beeping hospital scenario. And you don’t have to drive across the bush to figure out how it ends. (Julie Ann Grimm) 123 min., NR, The Screen
L’ATTESA
When a young French woman named Jeanne (Lou de Laage) is invited to Sicily to visit her boyfriend, Giuseppe, she instead finds his mother, Anna (Juliette Binoche of The English Patient fame), who is reeling from the recent loss of a family member. Anna frowns constantly, repeatedly refuses to answer simple questions and, perhaps most importantly, seems to have no idea as to her son’s whereabouts. What follows is an unbearable series of silent moments, uncomfortable exchanges
and some of the most self-indulgent and drawn-out establishing shots in the history of film. L’attesa would have you believe that Anna and Jeanne (or even the mysteriously absent Giuseppe) are harboring dark secrets, but the fact of the matter is that whatever they may be, we soon cease to care. Like, immediately. Jeanne wanders the grounds of the admittedly gorgeous Sicilian villa, leaving repeated and increasingly frustrated phone messages for her lover, all of which are intercepted by Anna for, uh, some reason. And rather than slowly coming to terms with the young woman’s feelings, we begin to think of her as a petulant child angry that her boyfriend ditched her with his mom. Anna is no better, and every moment she’s onscreen, we fear she’s about to lose her shit and have a breakdown. Jeanne is understandably confused by all of this, but it is absurd to believe anyone would just hang around for days on end with someone’s weird mother when they could just as easily find a hotel or leave or something. Binoche does manage to cobble together an emotionally believable performance as the first woman in Sicily to get divorced (or so they say), and there are even moments of genuinely fine acting peppered throughout, but if Jeanne is supCONTINUED ON PAGE 41

ok It’s all about assisted suicide down under in Last Cab to Darwin. posed to be our hero, or even just our cipher, she fails. Eventually, as we watch the seasoned Binoche flounder under boring dialogue and her young counterpoint descend further into clingy and unstable, we just kind of check out and pray for L’attesa to come to an end. And then it does, with practically no satisfying conclusion or point of any kind. The best we can say is that characterdriven films about actual people have become rare, but there is certainly no reason to believe this one is worth a trip to the big screen. (ADV) The Screen, NR, 100 min.
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM Endless billows of chiffon, surreal lighting and flexible bamboo stilts—no, it’s not Cirque du Soleil, it’s acclaimed director Julie Taymor’s (The Tempest) interpretation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The work is known as a comedic fairy tale already, but Taymor adds her own special style, bringing the story to a higher, more ethereal level. Dream opens in darkness, with a lone light shining on a comfy bed. A mime-like Puck appears and lies down on the bed, which is then mechanically lifted up toward the top of the stage. Now we see Taymor’s genius: Four construction workers appear onstage, and a chainsaw separates the real world from fantasy. And so it starts, as if the viewer has been split between worlds. “Fantasy” hardly describes this production, as Taymor revamps the presentation using theatrical techniques such as puppetry, mime, dance and music, along with aerial work. Taymor is well-known for her original concepts in film, and here she stages the blissful comedy about love and its many obstacles in both earthly and spirit worlds. In doing so, she creates an illusion of light and dark, with all that each side encompasses. The audience is offered originality at its finest, and Taymor’s imagination is over the top; she uses bamboo poles to represent the simple backdrop of the dark forest where the disenchanted lovers take flight. She reminds us of the hurdles that love must sometimes endure. After all, “the course of true love never did run smooth,” especially in the Bard’s plays. Taymor stretches the imagination and presents a unique take on one of the canon’s most enchanted comedies. As she presents Shakespeare’s fantasy of immortal and mortal lovers who become lost in the woods, Taymor
mesmerizes the audience and invokes visions that can only be found in the safety of sleep. After all is done, it is Taymor who is the true star of the movie. She puts everything into this production, but with some restraint to the message of love and the hoops that have to be jumped through to achieve it. (Rose Antonelli-Fatton) CCA, NR, 164 min.
NOW YOU SEE ME 2 In Now You See Me 2, much of the original cast is reunited (save Isla Fisher, who is replaced here by the always enjoyable Lizzy Caplan of Mean Girls) to once again use magic as a means of exacting social justice on millionaires and tech moguls who have no respect for anything more than their bottom line. Our heroes are The Horsemen, a four-magician squad, led from the shadows by Mark Ruffalo, whose team is way good at big-spectacle tricks and stealing things to expose jerks. The Horsemen have been in hiding, waiting for orders from The Eye, some kind of clandestine society of magicians that operates in secrecy and from whom Ruffalo siphons out magic-related missions. It’s fairly absurd, but God help us, it sure is fun. Each of the magicians has their own special ability. Jack Wilder (Dave Franco of the ill-fated and just awful wind-down of Scrubs), for example, is awesome at card tricks while Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson) can hypnotize just about anyone. Danny Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg) is more of an all-around trickster and is sort of the first mate of the crew, and newcomer Lula (Caplan) … actually, she mostly just acts boy-crazy and says minimally feminist things like, “Did you ask the guys if they could ride a motorcycle, or was it just me?” It isn’t that the performances are bad per se, rather that so many little twists and turns are packed into Now You See Me 2 that no one is allowed any room to do much outside of exist. Still, the movie wants us to root for The Horsemen, so we do, and by the time we hit the prestige, we had a fairly enjoyable ride and saw a couple neat magic tricks along the way. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 129 min.
THE LOBSTER Colin Farrell plays David, a newly single man who lives in a sort of dystopia wherein those without a partner are sent to a purgatorial hotel and given a month and a half to find a mate, or they’ll be turned into the animal of their choosing.

ok “Oh my God,” Juliet Binoche says to herself, “even I’m bored!” that dictate we must be paired off if we ever wish to be truly happy, and Rachel Weisz, who assumes the role of disembodied narrator for nearly two-thirds of the film, echoes the frustrating weirdness of the setup in a way that suggests she might be David’s conscience (if only he had one). Of course, that’s part of the bum deal humanity has received in The Lobster, and daily hunting for those who shirk the idea that partnership-equals-good (known here as “loners”) consistently keeps everyone on edge; there is no hope for trust between anyone. It’s an almost nihilism-lite version of the absurdist comedies of Wes Anderson. In fact, anyone who has seen The Grand Budapest Hotel will find a twisted familiarity to the halls and grounds of the sprawling country estate, but whereas Anderson knows how to create consistent characters who we still root for, even
at their most obnoxious, The Lobster strays too far into dark comedy’s uncomfortable moments rather than those that are so bad they’re good. And then, just when we have acclimated to the idea of this bizarre arrangement, everything changes, and we practically jump into another movie altogether. Farrell is excellent, however, even if the other characters have a problem with all being written the same and not being explored to any meaningful depth. It’s a bit odd at first to hear how everyone speaks in the same stilted manner, but the more we observe the performances, the more it seems the characters have stripped down to basic human motivators, like sex and fear, and that is at least a worthwhile attempt at examining mankind on a less romantic level.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of June 29th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) During winter, some bears spend months hibernating. Their body temperatures and heart rates drop. They breathe drowsily. Their movements are minimal. Many hummingbirds engage in a similar slow-down—but they do it every single night. By day they are among the most manic creatures on earth, flapping their wings and gathering sustenance with heroic zeal. When the sun slips below the horizon, they rest with equal intensity. In my estimation, Aries, you don’t need a full-on immersion in idleness like the bears. But you’d benefit from a shorter stint, akin to the hummingbird’s period of dormancy.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The next 28 days will not be a favorable period to sit around passively wishing to be noticed. Nor will it be a good time to wait to be rescued or to trust in others to instigate desirable actions. On the other hand, it will be an excellent phase to be an initiator: to decide what needs to be done, to state your intentions concisely, and to carry out your master plan with alacrity and efficiency. To help ensure your success during the next 28 days, make this declaration each morning before breakfast: “I don’t want to OBSERVE the show. I want to BE the show.”

I didn’t have time to ask the psychic how I’ll meet my soulmate, and I can’t afford to pay $250 for another reading. Can you help? Mopey Taurus.” Dear Mopey: The psychic lied. Neither she nor anyone else can see what the future will bring you. Why? Because what happens will be largely determined by your own actions. I suggest you celebrate this fact. It’s the perfect time to do so: July is Feed Your Willpower Month.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “When a jet flies low overhead, every glass in the cupboard sings,” writes aphorist James Richardson. “Feelings are like that: choral, not single; mixed, never pure.” That’s always true, but it will be intensely true for you in the coming weeks. I hope you can find a way to tolerate, even thrive on, the flood of ambiguous complexity.

Between now and September 2017, I bet CANCER (June 21-July 22) Once upon a time, weren’t you the master builder who never finished building your you’ll garner at least a short burst of glory, acclaim, or stardom—perhaps much more. Are you ready for your castle? Weren’t you the exile who wandered aimlessly while fantasizing about the perfect sanctuary of the past close-up? Have you prepped for the influx of attention that may be coming your way? or the sweet safety zone of the future? Didn’t you perversely nurture the ache that arose from your sense of not feeling at home in the world? I hope that by now you have renounced all of those kinky inclinations. If you haven’t, now would be an excellent time to do so. How might you reinvest the mojo that will be liberated by the demise of those bad habits? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In accordance with the astrological omens, I have selected three aphorisms by poet James Richardson to guide you. Aphorism #1: “The worst helplessness is forgetting there is help.” My commentary: You have the power to avoid that fate. Start by identifying the sources of healing and assistance that are available to you. Aphorism #2: “You do not have to be a fire to keep one burning.” My commentary: Generate all the heat and light you can, yes, but don’t torch yourself. Aphorism #3: “Patience is not very different from courage. It just takes longer.” My commentary: But it may not take a whole lot longer.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One of my readers, Jay O’Dell, told me this story: “After my cancer surgery, a nurse said to me, ‘You may as well try magical thinking. Regular thinking hasn’t helped.’ I said to the nurse, ‘Well, why the hell not?’ That was seven years ago.” In bringing O’Dell’s testimony to your attention, I don’t mean to suggest you will have any health problems that warrant a strong dose of magical thinking. Not at all. But you may get wrapped up in a psychological twist or a spiritual riddle that would benefit from magical thinking. And what exactly is magical thinking? Here’s one definition: The stories that unfold in your imagination have important effects on what actually happens to you.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Let’s talk about X-factors and wild cards and strange attractors. By their very nature, they are unpredictable and ephemeral, even when they offer benevolent breakthroughs. So you may not even notice their arrival if you’re entranced by your expectations and stuck in your habitual ways. But here’s VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You may not know this, but I the good news, Pisces: Right now you are not unduly am the founder and CEO of Proud To Be Humble, an entranced by your expectations or stuck in your habits. acclaimed organization devoted to minimizing vanity.
