LETTERS, MAY 31 AND JUNE 7 LOCAL GADFLIES I’d like to see the Reporter perform at least a cursory level of research into the assertions of “Letter to the Editor” writers before their views are published. Arthur Firstenberg’s “Woodsy Propaganda,” for example, advances numerous theories on forest management that are at odds with scientific consensus and historical fact. It is worth noting that Firstenberg ... to my knowledge, has no training or experience in public lands or wildfire management (I do).

COVER, JUNE 21:

I enjoyed reading “Permanent Collection.”

The tattoo world does tend to have colorful characters, and, at 72, I am planning on finally indulging. When I got to “Tattoo Etiquette,” though, the idea of a confraternity carrying on a multi-millennial tradition began to seriously fray. “These people 100 percent have your best interests in mind.”

Unless you want a “zia symbol” (new here.

I had to look it up). How arrogant! How crass and prissy. Aboriginal body art almost always has a repeated tribal theme. Why would an aboriginal sun symbol not qualify?

I think that $150 per hour is not unreasonable, and how wonderful it must be to get that kind of money for doing what you love. But tips! Seriously! Maybe I’m remiss, but I don’t tip my doctor, or my lawyer, or even the guy who does a decent job on my taxes. How many artists do you know that expect a tip when they sell a painting?

Save your money for the poor souls lugging heavy trays of hash and beans, for minimum wage.

ed in Firstenberg’s letter and has written a number of her own—has appeared at numerous Forest Service meetings to make outlandish claims, including the bizzare assertion that controlled burns cause women to miscarry pregnancies.

The rationale for conducting some elementary level of fact-checking should be obvious: You’re journalists. We live in a world of “alternative facts” and false equivalency (see: the climate change “debate”) that necessitates a more vigilant approach to journalism to ensure the public is given accurate information. While it may be easy to write off Mr. Firstenberg and Ms. Moses as local gadflies, it’s just this type of carelessness that helped put another factaverse gadfly in the Oval Office.

Youth learn computer coding at a free summer program aimed at leveling the tech playing field

LILIANA DILLINGHAM

n a warm, sunny day at Northern New Mexico University, a handful of high school students are enjoying their summer at camp.

But instead of playing dodgeball and romping about the pool, these students are building websites, learning multiple new languages and other technical skills. Welcome to Cultivating Coders.

About 15 to 20 high-schoolers are joking and talking loudly with one another while they work on their laptops.

A few lines of code are projected on the board at the front of the room while instructor Kyle Hagler is working with students to troubleshoot the program that had crashed for a few of the kids.

Hagler explains that today the task is programming a digital clock, but they were having some software issues.

While Kyle works with the affected students, others work quietly on projects as they enter the third week of the eight-week camp.

Students get a jump-start on tech careers at Cultivating Coders in Española.

“So far we’ve learned how to make websites and build stuff, like right now we’re making a clock. But some of the kids’ computers have crashed so we’re kind of stopped, but on Friday we made a drum kit. It’s pretty cool,” says Rique Fernandez, who starts her senior year in the fall. She pulls up the drum kit she programmed and begins tapping keys, which play corresponding musical notes. She says it’s her favorite thing she’s made so far.

“I’ve never done anything like this and I think it would be good to get computer experience because I don’t know too, too much,” she explains.

This quickly developing passion for coding seems to be widespread in the class. The program serves 58 students this summer; other students are also at camps in Albuquerque and Shiprock.

Students who are selected to attend the camp at no cost not only get to use a new laptop and complimentary software during the program, but also get to keep it when they graduate thanks to sponsors including Microsoft and the Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation.

Coding camp teaches eight programming languages including HTML, CSS and JavaScript. At the end of the program, the students will work together to create a web application that serves their local community.

While it’s important that the students are engaged with fun, educational summer programming, Cultivating Coders serves an even larger purpose: to diversify and expand the community of coders on a local and national scale.

Charles Ashley, the organization’s founder and president, says that many people do not pursue careers or education in the tech industry simply because they are not exposed to the technology or resources. “Our hope is that after one, two, three years with us, these kids will go on and get into colleges and universities with competitive computer science programs,” he says.

Already, the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in current Española students. Hagler shares that his Española students plan to start their own after-school programming club once school starts up again in the fall.

In an ever-expanding tech industry, Ashley hopes to close the gap between students and technology. “This is a fully dynamic program. These are real-world applications we are giving to these kids and they’re working on real projects.

We want them to be able to go out ready into the world.”

This year’s fire season is running as expected in the era of managing rather than extinguishing all wildfires

hat the forecast called for a relatively mild fire season in Northern New Mexico didn’t feel right at all when Bill Morse, public information officer on the Bonita Fire near El Rito, picked up his phone on June 23 for an interview.

“We’ve got fires everywhere. The whole Southwest is burning,” said the Arizona-based member of the Southwest Area Incident Management Team, an interagency firefighting team called to step in when fires threaten watersheds, timber, people and communities.

The Bonita, a 7,494-acre lightningcaused fire that’s been burning since June 3, was initially managed by wildland firefighters to play its part in restoring fire to the ecosystem, per fire science that dates to the 1930s. Then, strong winds on June 16 started pushing flames across the fire line, prompting the Carson National Forest to call for additional help and transition to suppressing the fire.

By the morning of the June 24, though, with a 100-foot-wide buffer around the fire’s edge and afternoon rain on the way, the timbre had shifted.

“There’s no surprises with this fire season,” Morse said.

“It’s pretty much right on track.” The Bonita Fire was turning out, after all, to be a “good fire,” one that chews up dead brush and pine needles, but leaves trees alive, if scorched. Firefighters mopped up hot spots and worked to reduce troublesome smoke for area residents.

Still in the dark Halfway through his term, attorney general’s transparency enforcement pattern shows long wait—but he has a plan

BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

N

ew Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas says the state is in a “transparency crisis.”

He’s right.

It seems a near-weekly occurrence that another journalist or citizen has lawyered up and filed suit against some secrecy-happy state, county or city government entity for violating the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, known as IPRA. Judges have slapped governments around the state with the paltry fines allowed for breaking the law, which is supposed to serve as the public’s open, sunshine-filled window onto how elected and appointed officials do business on paper.

But should it ever get to that point?

Balderas is New Mexico’s top law enforcement officer. That means he must enforce IPRA—and every other state law.

As such, his office offers an avenue to IPRA requesters who feel they’ve been wrongly stonewalled: File a complaint.

Last July, I did just that after Gov. Susana Martinez’ administration refused to turn over records showing how much taxpayer money had been spent on a private attorney to—ironically enough and among other things—help the governor keep public records hidden from news organizations and others who had sued for them.

Five months passed before Balderas’ Open Government Division ruled on my complaint. An analysis by SFR shows that’s exactly the average amount of time it’s taken a lawyer in the division to determine

Hector Balderas says he’ll seek re-election for a second term as attorney general.

whether an agency broke the law after 89 total complaints since Balderas took office in 2015. Dozens of other complaints remain open.

“On the surface, that appears to be” too long, says Peter St. Cyr, executive director of the nonprofit New Mexico Foundation for Open Government (NMFOG). “We’d like to see it done faster since the information provided might not be of much use to citizens” five months down the track.

The AG’s office has found IPRA violations in 20 of the 89 closed complaints, SFR’s analysis shows. Mine was one of the 20, but despite an admonishment from the AG’s staff, the Martinez administration still refused to turn over most of the records I requested.

I had to get my own lawyer and file a lawsuit for the records. The case is pending.

When Balderas was running for office in 2014, SFR Editor Julie Ann Grimm asked him in an endorsement interview: “Will you go to court to enforce the penalties in IPRA?” “Absolutely,” the would-be attorney general replied. “We will be.”

He’s done that once in the two and a half years since he took over as AG. Balderas sued the Española public school district under IPRA after officials withheld records he asked for. That case is also pending.

Balderas says the problem is not of his making.

He says he’s frustrated with the slow pace of resolving complaints, but blames recalcitrant government agencies for the delays. And in a recent interview, he tells SFR that litigating IPRA cases is a long, difficult proposition with little return on the back end.

Successful IPRA lawsuits only earn plaintiffs a maximum of $100 for each day public records weren’t turned over, plus attorney’s fees. And even then, the state’s high court has balked at imposing the penalties. Balderas says the state budget crunch means he has to “self-fund” nearly half the cases he takes to court.

“I have to be very particular which litigation I bring, whether it’s water litigation or child abuse cases,” he says. “What I was surprised with when I inherited the office is that [the Open Meetings Act] and IPRA, the system, both in penalties and resources, has been really set up to fail on behalf of taxpayers. And that’s really the dirty secret that has not been uncovered and why we really have a transparency crisis in New Mexico.”

Balderas, who announced this spring that he plans to run for a second term in 2018, is floating a pair of new ideas he says could create a more transparent New Mexico.

The first is an independent agency that would certify and oversee all records cus-

todians—government employees who are responsible for fielding and filling IPRA requests—around the state. Balderas says “professionalizing” the custodians and making them accountable to an entity that doesn’t have a vested interest in secrecy would open some doors.

Presently, many custodians are “moonlighting” in those jobs while performing other duties.

“I don’t think agencies should be allowed to voluntarily comply with assigning a custodian of records or how much professional training they should get,” Balderas says.

The second idea: “Put real teeth in the law so that I can enforce civil and criminal penalties,” he tells SFR. For example: “In the event that OMA and IPRA are abused to advance other criminal activity, it would be a fourth-degree felony.”

The latter would be accompanied by an increase in funding for more prosecutors under Balderas’ plan. He figures both ideas could be revenue-neutral if the Legislature reallocated one-tenth of 1 percent of the overall state budget. That’s about $6 million.

It would be worth it, Balderas says, adding: “I do think there is a direct correlation between transparency and mitigating criminal activity.”

St. Cyr says NMFOG supports Balderas’ idea for an independent entity to oversee the custodians as long as it is has “real oversight authority.”

The venerable transparency organization also is in favor of a budget increase for IPRA custodians—and for additional prosecutors to target serial IPRA violators, he adds. But NMFOG has a simpler idea for more sunshine in the state.

“Ultimately, more is needed to build online records storage capacity,” St. Cyr says. “Once that happens the public can search and download their own records.”

URBAN NATIVE AMERICANS IN SANTA FE HURT BY FEDERAL FUNDING FOR INDIAN HEALTH CARE ARE DEMANDING REFORM

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

elight Talawepi lives up to her name. She smiles often, loves Santa Fe, and extends a polite demeanor even to strangers. But she’s living in constant pain.

“All of a sudden, I have become fearful of getting sick,” she says. “And because I’m getting fearful, it seems I’m getting sick more often. I think a lot of it is fear that I cannot be served, so we sit and we wait and hope the pain goes away.”

Talawepi, a Hopi mother and assistant academic dean at the Institute of American Indian Arts, has been living for months with an intrauterine device that is displaced in her uterus. She had the IUD inserted five years ago at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital on Cerrillos Road. When she recently asked hospital staff to remove it, they told her they didn’t have the technical ability to do so, then referred her to Christus St. Vincent hospital.

If Talawepi were enrolled as a tribal member in one of the Pueblos that surround Santa Fe, she would likely have been able to have the procedure at St. Vincent and have the bill sent over to Indian Health Service—the federal agency that oversees the Santa Fe Indian Hospital—so that she would pay nothing out of pocket. But because she is Hopi, the Santa Fe Indian Hospital will not cover the costs of the outside referral. And her Medicaid plan won’t pay for enough of the procedure at a private hospital to make it affordable.

Her only real option for relief—aside from borrowing money to foot the bill— would be to take extended time off work to travel back to her tribal homelands in Arizona, where she could visit an IHS hospital for a free procedure. But she’s the main provider for her family. She can’t just take

But Talawepi and others say reform is necessary to get the care they need.

The arrangement within IHS responsible for Talawepi’s dilemma, known as the Purchased/Referred Care program, allows those living within the pre-designated geographic parameters of their tribes to be referred to hospitals outside of IHS for complex procedures, such as heart surgery, and have the bill covered

by IHS. But Native people living in Santa Fe who are not part of the nine local Pueblos (San Felipe, Cochiti, Santo Domingo, Tesuque, Pojoaque, Nambé, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara and Ohkay Owingeh), have to travel to their tribe’s federally designated homeland if they want IHS to pick up the tab for speciality care.

That means there’s a sizable proportion of Native people living in Santa Fe who cannot access critical care guaran-

weeks off of work on short notice, even though a lost IUD could tear through the wall of her uterus or even damage other internal organs.

“I’m in a dire situation,” she tells SFR. “I have another doctor’s appointment on [June] 30, and I will tell them, ‘Why can’t you do this for me?’ And they’re probably going to send me out.”

Because of IHS rules that ration a chronically insufficient pot of money, and owing to Santa Fe’s relatively large population of urban Indians like Talawepi who live away from their tribal lands, a significant number of people here are eligible for treatment through IHS but cannot receive it at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital when they need it most.

It’s a core point in a new health impact assessment assembled by a community advisory board of Native Santa Feans and with the help of the New Mexico Health Equity Partnership, a nonprofit organization that helps people analyze policy issues. Talawepi served as a member of the advisory board. Together with a small research team, they used surveys to investigate how deep structural problems within IHS, including chronic underfunding, uniquely affect Santa Fe’s Native community.

The federal government’s failure to provide easily accessible health services to Native people in Santa Fe amounts to an abrogation of its historical responsibility under various treaties. Although many people, including Talawepi, praise the culturally responsive treatment they’ve received at the local Indian Hospital, they say the IHS rationing arrangement that prioritizes local tribes over Native people from outside Northern New Mexico is unfairly fomenting tensions over care that should be guaranteed to everybody who qualifies for it.

“I hate to say this, but it’s the Pueblos versus the urban Native Americans,” Talawepi tells SFR. “When I hear from other people who are not Pueblo, that’s the biggest complaint: The Pueblos are the ones who have more control of the Indian Health Services in Santa Fe.” She believes that the union between Pueblos and urban Native people can be strengthened if they organize to demand more from the federal government. But that will mean confronting over a century’s worth of neglect—or, as another urban Native person living in Santa Fe called it, an official policy of “paper genocide;” extermination through policy directives. With the feds in the process of cutting funding to IHS and related programs that support Na-

teed to them by the federal government unless they’re willing to travel hundreds to thousands of miles. Nationwide statistics indicate over two-thirds of American Indians and Alaskan Natives live away from their home reservation. This is primarily due to decades of federal policy meant to push them into cities.

Despite some increases in funds, IHS has never had the resources it needs to make good on its historical mandate to provide quality and convenient care for Native Americans. The agency was forced to operate on its 1998 budget from 2000 to 2008 because President

George W Bush never ratified new funding. The passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 removed presidential approval as a necessary requisite to alter the agency’s budget, but while the Obama administration raised the budget of IHS to historic levels, it was still underfunded by 59 percent in 2016, according to the National Congress of American Indians.

In the first century of US history, the federal government ratified more than 300 treaties guaranteeing it would provide for the welfare of Indian people in exchange for tribal land and natural resources. The 161 IHS hospitals and facilities operating today find their roots in facilities that were built around the Indian boarding schools in the late 19th century, during the first traumatizing push to assimilate Native people. Amid movements for liberation in the 1970s, President Richard Nixon signed a law that allowed local tribes to take control of IHS funds to build their own care centers. Legislation passed in later decades strengthened these laws, and by the end of 2016, approximately 60 percent of the IHS’s total appropriated budget was administered by tribes.

But greater autonomy over how the funds are distributed hasn’t meant that the federal government is placing a higher priority on Indian healthcare. Across different health agencies, including Veterans Affairs, Medicaid and Medicare, federal dollars spent on IHS are by far the lowest per patient, according to numbers from 2013 compiled by the National Congress of American Indians.

“A lot of urban Indians feel that we are being pushed out of the system,” says Cyn-

di Hall, a Cherokee woman living in Santa Fe. “It’s paper genocide. That’s what it is.

It’s paper genocide. Not with weapons, it’s not rounding us up anymore, [but] on paper we don’t get the treatment we were guaranteed to get.”

Hall, who is married to a Navajo/Diné man, thinks she’s risking retaliation by speaking out. But she says she has to, because she believes her family’s membership in non-local tribes is a major reason why they have had poor experiences at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital.

Four years ago, she says, her husband rapidly began losing weight due to illness. When he visited the Santa Fe Indian Hospital, he was told he was having panic attacks and prescribed psychotropics.

It wasn’t until he went to see a private doctor in Albuquerque that the family learned he had H pylori, a gut infection found more commonly in Native people.

“We’re still paying it off,” Hall tells SFR. In total, her husband’s diagnosis and treatment cost between $30,000 and $35,000, nearly forcing the family into bankruptcy.

Her son was also misdiagnosed at the Indian Hospital, she says, and it took an outside second opinion to address the real issue. But she believes she should have never had to seek out private doctors in the first place, considering the federal government’s historical obligation to provide care.

“Those federal funds should follow us wherever we go,” Hall says.

Hall got her chance to channel her grievances as a community advisory board member for what became “Indian Health Services Budget and Urban Indian

Cyndi Hall and her husband, Tsali, are among urban Indians from faraway tribes who have trouble getting services at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital due to a resource crunch.

HOW DO SANTA FE ADVOCATES WANT TO IMPROVE FEDERAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR NATIVE AMERICANS? A health impact assessment investigating the health profile of patients at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital recommended four ways that the facility could better service the city’s unique Native population. The hospital treats approximately 3,400 patients a year. Around 30 percent of urban Native Americans treated there have no medical insurance coverage, and most are not eligible for Purchased/Referred Care health services.

The recommendations put forward by the assessment include:

FEDERAL » Fund the federal Indian Health Service (IHS) agency at 100 percent of need. » Increase IHS funding to improve mental and behavioral health programs. » Eliminate the Purchased/Referred Care eligibility by area service unit and replace with funding that follows the patient.

LOCAL/STATE » Create a food bank and expand nutrition services for the Santa Fe Indian Hospital community.

Budgeting Decisions,” a 63-page health impact assessment about the Santa Fe Indian Hospital published in January.

An associate professor at the University of New Mexico’s College of Nursing named Emily Haozous convened Hall, Delight Talawepi and five others—nearly all of them Santa Feans who hail from tribes outside of Northern New Mexico— to oversee the direction of the report as a community advisory board. Together with a small research team, the group administered a 12-page survey to 165 Santa Feans who frequent the Indian Hospital. The majority of those surveyed were Pueblo, Navajo/Diné, or Northern Plains tribes and reported incomes of less than $49,000 a year.

“We learned that people see Santa Fe IHS as theirs,” says Haozous, a member of the Oklahoma-based Fort Sill Apache Tribe. “Given the choice, they go there because it’s a home for healthcare, culture, family and history. It still belongs to the community.”

The assessment examines with a wide scope how economic stability, education and food insecurity intersect with institutional problems at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital to create an ongoing crisis. The

county’s disparity between rent and income is considered just as important as the historical integration of innutritious government rations like flour, sugar and lard into diet.

Among the Santa Feans Haozous and her team surveyed, diabetes, heart disease and obesity were the top three community health concerns. Lack of exercise and alcohol and drug use ranked highly as well. Respondents also named depression and stress as leading personal concerns, and almost 30 percent said healthy food was unaffordable for them.

Haozous says her team presented their report in April to the IHS tribal health board, which consists of representatives from the tribes it serves.

She says their reactions were positive.

A few months earlier, in January, they unveiled their assessment to the general Native community at the Santa Fe Indian Center. Outreach efforts are ongoing.

“The [assessment] doesn’t just belong to the research team,” she says, “it belongs to everybody. So we encouraged the people who showed up [in January] to talk to their tribal leaders all around the country.”

tribal-run facilities that serve 27 different tribes in New Mexico, Colorado and Texas. This includes the Santa Fe Service Unit, which is mandated to serve members of nine Pueblos.

The Santa Fe Service Unit has dedicated $5.7 million of its budget for Purchased/Referred Care every year since 2015, although the Santo Domingo Pueblo has managed its own Purchased/Referred Care program since 2014. Tribal and hospital leaders decide who qualifies. It’s a pie that’s likely to shrink in the coming years.

Rollbacks to Medicaid eligibility loom in Congress, and a $300 million cut to IHS is proposed by the Trump administration.

Some tribal members refuse to enroll in Medicaid or Medicare in protest, citing the historical obligation to provide health care specifically for Indians. Nevertheless, the expansion of Medicaid in the Af-

eligibility requirements for Medicaid.

Caps to state allotments, they say, could leave states to decide how to distribute dwindling Medicaid dollars for their populations, including Native Americans, whose health care is legally a federal responsibility, not a state one.

US Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) says protecting funding for IHS is among his priorities.

“Current federal funding covers less than half of IHS operational costs,” Udall tells SFR by phone. “Fortunately, increases in revenue from Medicaid expansion have offset those annual costs, but without that revenue, necessary services may no longer be available to Indian country.”

There are currently 135,000 tribal members enrolled in Medicaid in New Mexico, he says, calling the potential rollback “unconscionable.”

While Haozous’ health impact assessment doesn’t dive deeply into the history of the Santa Fe Indian Hospital in particular, one of the hospital’s former medical directors, Dr. Ben Whitehill, describes the time he worked there from 1983 to 1993 as “the golden years.”

“We had a very comprehensive hospital in those days,” he says. “We had an emergency room, full obstetrical care, pediatric care, two operating rooms, a threebed intensive care unit, as well as medical surgery and full dental services.”

In addition, he says, many local doctors conducted clinics and performed surgeries at the hospital. There was a full-time surgeon on staff. But even then, before the budget for IHS was frozen in 1998, conditions were far from ideal.

“It was beyond us,” he tells SFR. “We were aware that we didn’t have enough money to get all the work done, but we just had to knuckle under and do the best we could with what we did have.”

The hospital staff was close to the local tribes it served, Whitehill says. People who weren’t from those tribes tended not to get priority when it came to referrals for outside care.

“We tried to get the people from our own tribes to have a little precedent over the distant tribes,” Whitehill tells SFR. “Because that’s our main mission. So if you were Navajo or Choctaw, your chances of getting referred for outside care would be almost nil. Because we never could even satisfy all the needs of the tribes we were meant to serve.”

Officials at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital did not answer SFR’s emailed questions and did not consent to repeated requests for an interview. But the health impact assessment of the hospital confirms that the disparity Whitehill observed over two decades ago persists. Although 25 percent of respondents said their health care was covered through a private insurer, and 34 and 16.5 percent were insured, respectively, through Medicaid and Medicare, more than half said they had neglected to seek out care within a month of answering the survey because their condition couldn’t be treated at the local Indian Hospital.

The most common reason: They weren’t eligible to be referred for outside treatment under the Purchased/Referred Care program. Across the IHS bureaucracy, limited funds for the program are almost always reserved for emergency procedures, including trauma and neonatal care.

IHS funds allocated to the Albuquerque Service Area (estimated at around $81 million for this fiscal year) are divided up among federally administered facilities (like the Santa Fe Indian Hospital) and

fordable Care Act (or Obamacare) helped increase the number of Native people covered in New Mexico between 2011 and 2014.

“Medicaid expansion has really helped to offset Purchased/Referred Care funding because tribes have more patients who are able to go outside the system with Medicaid,” explains Caitrin Shuy, director of congressional relations at the National Indian Health Board. Supplements from Medicaid and Medicare bring in almost $1 billion a year in third-party revenue to IHS. The National Indian Health Board has asked Congress keep American Indians and Alaska Natives out of plans to reduce

Medicaid expansion was the reason that Sam Haozous, a music promoter in Santa Fe who has visited the Santa Fe Indian Hospital since the 1970s (and the older brother of Emily Haozous), was able to receive health insurance for the first time in his life at nearly 50 years old. He says the Indian Health Service enrolled him in the Medicaid program, though now he’s insured through his employer. If that falls through, and the federal government claws back funds for Medicaid, he might be off the rolls yet again.

“I personally feel like we’re all gonna get screwed,” Sam says. “But maybe the Republicans will grow a heart or something.”

At a recent arts and crafts fair on a small dusty lot between Cerrillos Road and the parking lot of the Santa Fe Indian Hospital, 30-year hospital employee Cindy Trujillo helps her daughter and sister-inlaw prepare trays of raw frybread and other ingredients underneath a vendor’s tent.

She helped convene about a dozen vendors to raise money for the Santa Fe Indian Hospital Employee Association, which puts on events for hospital employees.

“We’re going to have a barbecue for the entire hospital staff, we’ve gotten them Isotopes tickets—just activities for the staff to enjoy, since the morale can be kind of low,” she says.

Across the agency, retaining staff is a serious problem, according to a 2016 Department of Health and Human Services survey of the nation’s 28 IHS acute care hospitals. Tightening budgets have meant longer hours and less pay for staff, and at the Santa Fe Indian Hospital, it’s also meant that essential services once offered are gone, including obstetric care and same-day surgery.

People who completed the health impact assessment for the hospital listed these two services among their top needs, as well as dental specialists, colonoscopy procedures, mammograms, substance abuse detox and other services.

Chief among the four main demands of the assessment’s authors were funding IHS at 100 percent of need—estimated by the National Congress of American Indians to cost about $29 billion over the next dozen years—and eliminate Purchased/ Referred Care eligibility by tribal enrollment. That way, funds would be pegged to each patient instead of geographic areas.

Emily Haozous believes the latter demand was the most radical recommendation in the assessment.

“It would cost IHS more money,” she says, because most Native people don’t live in their tribal area. Furthermore, she explains, tribal leaders are reluctant to let go of direct funding for tribes.

Not all of the recommendations in the assessment are unattainably large; another is that local organizations offer a food bank and nutrition education services at the hospital. But David Gaussoin, a communications and marketing associate at the New Mexico Health Equity Partnership, says his organization chose to support Haozous’ proposal for an assessment of the Santa Fe Indian Hospital in part because of its large ambition.

“It’s the first report that really puts everything in perspective,” he tells SFR. “It helps start the conversation, because if we don’t start having those hard conversations we’ll never be able to get that pie in the sky.”

Generally speaking, reunion shows come when bands need to pay the bills or get some crazy offer. For Americana/folk trio Hot Honey, however, it was more of a personal decision. “This reunion is special on so many levels,” member Paige Barton tells us. “The music itself is central and exciting, but this whole thing is mostly about a group of people missing each other, missing this place and needing an excuse to get together.”

ART OPENING FRI-SAT/30-1

Natural-Born Shooter Not even a world war stopped this artist This Friday, a diverse collection of images in the exhibit Tony Vaccaro: From War To Beauty at the Monroe Gallery of Photography gives Santa Feans a glimpse into the life of the 94-year-old photographer from scenes of World War II to commercial fashion shots, and beyond.

This artist’s lens has captured some of the most famous humans ever— think Sophia Loren, Pablo Picasso and Marilyn Monroe. But some of his first forays into photography were spent documenting World War II. Drafted at 21 years old, Vaccaro carried a 35-mm camera through the trenches of Europe and used innovative techniques to develop his film: Patiently waiting for nightfall, the artist-soldier used the tools available to him in the middle of a war. “I would go over the ruins of a village and try to locate where a camera shop might have been,” he says. “So, in the ruins I could find developer and the things which you need.” Chemicals in hand, Vaccaro used helmets as developing trays; developer, water, hypo and more water to rinse; four helmets in succession in the pitch black. “From Normandy to Berlin, that’s how I developed my pictures,” he tells SFR. Vaccaro had a long and illustrious career in photography after the war as

well, including time working for magazines like Life, Harper’s Bazaar and Newsweek. His work took him to amazing places like the Nile River in Egypt and to photograph fabled architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

But which photo stands out to Vaccaro as his crowning achievement?

Georgia O’Keeffe, he says. He asked the painter to take her work outdoors. “It’s one of the great photographs of my life, yes—I have it right in front of me—she’s in profile, and all you have is black, her face and then the great color of that painting,” he says. “The greatest [memory] was Georgia O’Keeffe, and coming to Santa Fe, and it was just Georgia and Tony for about a week or more. It was superb, really.” (Maria Egolf-Romero)

2017 Is the Best Time to Go Solar

FIVE REASONS YOU SHOULD MAKE THE SWITCH TODAY Consumer Reports — one of the nation’s most trusted personal finance publications — offered a bold statement in a recent article: “There has probably never been a better time to switch to solar.” From tech improvements to environmental benefits to tax incentives, there are so many reasons why this is true. People are catching on: America has been averaging one new residential solar installation every 100 seconds. Here are five reasons to act now and install home solar: 1. This is the moment to take advantage of falling solar costs.

Solar installation costs have fallen dramatically — to half of what they were in 2008 and 100 times less than what they were back in 1978. Still, as Consumer Reports notes, this is the time to go solar, rather than waiting on the sidelines for further price reductions: many of the recent price cuts have been “soft costs,” including labor costs that are unlikely to decline much further. You can have confidence installing solar today.

2. The 30% federal tax credit scales down starting in 2019. The federal government is still offering excellent incentives to go solar — but you must act now. In the coming years, tax credits will scale down to 26 percent and then to 22 percent. In addition to tax breaks, there are other excellent options including low-interest financing that are available now.

3. New Mexico’s “Net Metering” law makes solar a smart investment. Through “net metering,” New Mexico residents can generate their own power and get credit for what they provide to the grid for others to use. This law — in effect now — makes solar extraordinarily cost-effective.

4. Solar technologies and installation processes are better than ever. As the solar industry has grown and matured, customer satisfaction has reached impressive heights. Leading firms, including SunPower by Positive Energy Solar, are now able to design and install solar energy systems with minimal impact on your home’s appearance. Power failures are extremely rare, and customers can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a 25-year power and product warranty.

5. This is a crucial moment to help protect clean air and water.

As challenges including water scarcity, air pollution, and carbon emissions intensify, people are looking for opportunities to live sustainably. Going solar is a simple and effective way to do your part. By eliminating the need for polluting and waterconsumptive power plants, solar energy reduces harmful air pollution, saves vital resources, and improves our quality of life. It’s an easy way to be part of the solution.

COURTESY SANTIAGO GALLEGOS

MUSIC

BY @twitter

The hardware may change, but the feeling remains the same.

The Sagga Continues

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

W

hat does old-school even mean anymore, especially in a town like Santa Fe where a hefty cross-section of our artists are, like, old? Shit, so many of us have been at this for so long that it’s often hard to even differentiate what makes a classic or not.

Not with SaggaLiffik, however—this dude is the very definition of old-school.

A lifetime Santa Fean, SaggaLiffik (real name Santiago Gallegos) has been at it since the days of records in crates and honest-to-god turntables. “I started with vinyl and hip-hop in the mid-’90s,” Gallegos says. “I was really inspired by DJ Trauma, who would play The Zone [later Swig, then Stats, among other things] when I was in high school. I … wasn’t even of age yet and he took me into the booth around ’94 or ’95, and that changed me.”

The inspiration first took the form of production, Gallegos says. This was way back when, when creating hip-hop beats

Santiago Gallegos kicks it old-school

was a painstaking process requiring serious hardware. “I had the record player on top of the dual cassette deck,” he says, “and it was ‘press play on the record, record on the tape deck; pause and start again;’ I’d throw in some classic breaks from vinyl.”

Beatmaking software like Logic came later, in the aughts. Though Gallegos uses that program now, he would also adopt the game-changing Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, a tool that he says “opened the floodgates.”

Still, he misses those early creations

and the tools behind them. “Since EDM has gotten so big, the analog sound has almost disappeared,” Gallegos explains.

“I think there’s so much to that analog sound, and we lost some of the heart; it’s synthetic now, like everything else— that’s why it means so much more to me to keep the feeling behind it, to give it some substance that’s genuine.”

This means almost constant evolution, and though Gallegos started with hip-hop, he keeps up with the trends to move dance floors and collaborates with hip-hop org Outstanding Citizens Collective alongside rappers, DJs, artists and other creatives. “We’ve got a lot of projects,” Gallegos says. “Like the [RaRa Room Radio] podcast.”

For his live sets, however, Gallegos estimates he’ll sink 10 to 20 hours into production, scouring his personal library for the best in hip-hop, Top 40, EDM and beyond or downloading new material to keep it fresh. It’s an incredible level of dedication and effort even as, he says, audiences dwindle alongside the rise of technology. “I grew up in the ’90s when you’d have 300 kids standing [at your show], and now we can barely get 30 people in the club and to pay a cover.

I want the unity back,” Gallegos laments.

“I’m not in it for the money. I’m in it to do something huge for my city; we’re a community, and if you’re not doing it for the community, you’re just doing it for the money.”

As for what he might do to revitalize the scene, Gallegos simply says, “I haven’t figured it out just yet, man—I just want people to be ready for a great time, because I crush it every time in there.”

actors, and that Schenkkan was understanding.)

Talking about the play is a delicate dance, because much of the tension between the characters stems from what we don’t know about Rick, here played

by Todd Anderson. Dressed in an orange prison uniform, he paces and forces laughs, talking anxiously. Anderson is amiable yet ominous. Rick is used to being in prisons, we learn, but not as an inmate. He is a former guard and execu-

tive who has dealt closely with minority populations behind bars, many of whom would be deported upon their release. He feels strongly about keeping America full of Americans; “you don’t have borders, you don’t have a country,” he quips. He believes that he and Gloria are the same type of person—“working people, middle-class,” he says. He voted for Trump.

As for Gloria, we know she is feminine but fierce. Actress Danielle Louise Reddick strikes an intimidating figure— we suspect out of need. Gloria has been called slurs since childhood, and Reddick’s quiet ferocity comes out in steely glares and a tucked chin. We learn much less about her, personally, but she tries hard to draw Rick in. Her smile, when she uses it, is 1,000 watts; Rick mentions that he met Trump at a rally, and Gloria genuinely beams when she asks, “What was that like?” She finally gets the antsy, pacing Rick to sit down by telling him her brother enlisted in the Marines. She says that black people spend their time trying to survive racism rather than understand it; here, she seeks to understand.

Gloria has come to the prison to get Rick’s story. Perhaps for an essay, perhaps for a book, perhaps to simply throw into a fire—she doesn’t know yet. His trial has been televised and the controversy in which he has been involved is national news. She is eager to pick his brain both for academia and personal gain, and he is eager to set the story straight. He is not a monster. He had his reasons.

The play runs 90 minutes with no intermission, and it flies by. It is presented in the round, with the audience seated on

CATHERINE LYNCH

t’s one of the very first things Gloria says; we learn quickly that she will pull no punches. She is a black university professor, and she is interviewing Rick, a white inmate in a prison in El Paso. The year is 2019. Rick has done something horrible, presumably stemming from his militant and nationalist views. As Gloria goes through a string of questions, the nature of his crimes comes to light, and the deep divide between the characters alternately opens and closes as we listen.

Building the Wall, the very new play from Pulitzerwinning political playwright Robert Schenkkan (All the Way, Tony Award for Best Play in 2014), first opened in Los Angeles in March of this year. It then moved to small theaters around the United States, and Santa Fe’s own Adobe Rose Theatre was the fifth to commit. Schenkkan himself attended ART’s opening weekend on June 16. Santa Fe Director Kristin Goodman says that as late as a week before opening, Schenkkan sent her a revised version of the script, as the fresh play is still evolving.

(She says she told Schenkkan she wouldn’t incorporate the Danielle Louise Reddick brings ferocity and empathy to the role of Gloria. latest edits out of respect for the

four sides of a sparse set, and smart blocking from Goodman plays the action fairly to all directions.

In a discussion with Goodman and Reddick during rehearsals, they made it clear that one of the aims of the play is to humanize both ends of the political spectrum. Through Schenkkan’s choices, however, in the first half of the play, it is hard to see the deep good in Rick. He’s a nice enough guy and all, but man, is he full of shit. Gloria is constantly referencing facts, referring to her notes, calmly countering him; Rick consistently reverts back to opinions (being thrilled when Trump would make fun of people; when confronted with the fact that Trump lies, he says, “I don’t see it that way”) and falsehoods (a claim that Obama invaded Libya; that illegal immigrants are stealing all of America’s jobs). It’s hard to relate to someone you are so exasperated with, yet Gloria keeps her cool like a saint. For the first chunk of the action, we expect to leave this play feeling the exact same way as when we came in.

There is a shift, though, as the dialogue moves from discussing Rick’s distant past to more recent events; namely, the ones that landed him in jail. Without revealing too much of the well-crafted story, just know this: It is bad. Like, real bad. But, unnervingly, it is all entirely plausible.

Rick was just a corrections executive trying to do the right thing, yet caught up in the red tape and white collars of an ugly anti-immigrant government and a ruthless, profit-driven privatized prison network. He made a lot of bad choices. Gloria keeps asking: Why didn’t he just quit? But he simply couldn’t, he says. He had duties: to his employees, to his family, and, of course, to his country.

Will this play make Berniecrats suddenly want to hug Trumpers? Will MAGA folks start wearing pantsuits? Absolutely not. But could this play make staunch progressives shift uneasily in their seats, seeing the toll taken even on those who enforce their own unfair policies? Will conservative-leaning audience members furrow their brows and ask themselves Gloria’s deceptively simple questions as they lie awake in bed?

Hopefully. And likely.

dildos to mark their six-month anniversary.

Gay guy, late 20s. What’s the best timing—relative to meals and bowel movements—to have anal sex?

I had a great time at the live taping of the Savage Lovecast at Chicago’s Music Box Theatre. Audience members submitted questions on cards, and I tackled as many questions as I could over two hours—with the welcome and hilarious assistance of comedian Kristen Toomey. Here are some of the questions we didn’t get to before they gave us the hook…

If your partner’s social media makes you uncomfortable—whether it’s the overly friendly comments they get on their photos or vice versa (their overly friendly comments on other people’s photos)—do you have the right to say something?

You have the right to say something—the First Amendment applies to relationships, too—but you have two additional rights and one responsibility: the right to refrain from reading the comments, the right to unfollow your partner’s social-media accounts, and the responsibility to get over your jealousy.

A couple invited me to go on a trip as their third and to have threesomes. I am friends with the guy, and there is chemistry. But I have not met the girl. I’m worried that there may not be chemistry with her. Is there anything I can do to build chemistry or at least get us all comfortable enough to jump into it?

Get this woman’s phone number, exchange a few photos and flirty texts, and relax. Remember: You’re the very special guest star here—it’s their job to seduce you, not the other way around.

Incest porn—what is the reason behind why it’s so hot?

I reject the premise of your question. There’s nothing hot about incest porn.

My partner really wants an open relationship; I really don’t. He isn’t the jealous type; I am. We compromised, and I agreed to a threesome. I want to meet him in the middle, but I really hate the idea of even a threesome and can’t stop stressing about it. What should I do?

You should end this relationship yourself or you can let an ill-advised, sure-to-be-disastrous threesome end it for you.

Any dating advice for people who are gay and disabled?

Move on all fronts: Go places and do things—as much as your disability and budget allow—join gay dating sites, be open about your disability, be open to dating other disabled people. And take the advice of an amputee I interviewed for a column a long, long time ago: “So long as they don’t see me as a fetish object, I’m willing to date people who may be attracted to me initially because of my disability, not despite it.”

Why do I say yes to dates if I love being alone?

Because we’re constantly told—by our families, our entertainments, our faith traditions—that there’s something wrong with being alone. The healthiest loners shrug it off and don’t search for mates, the complicit loners play along and go through the motions of searching for mates, and the oblivious loners make themselves and others miserable by searching for and landing mates they never wanted.

My boyfriend keeps talking about how much he would like for me to peg him. (I’m female.)

Should I wait for him to buy a contraption or surprise him myself? We’ve been dating only three months.

Butts shouldn’t be fucked too soon after a meal or too soon before a bowel movement. For more info, read the late, great Dr. Jack Morin’s Anal Pleasure and Health: A Guide for Men, Women, and Couples—which can be read before, during, and after meals and/or bowel movements.

My girlfriend and I are having a debate. Which is more intimate: vanilla sex or sharing a whirlpool bath with someone? Can you settle this?

No. Three great dates followed by a micropenis.

What do I do? Him: six-foot-four, giant belly. Me: five-foot-five, normal proportions. Great guy, but the sex sucked.

If you require an average-to-large penis to enjoy sex, don’t keep seeing this guy. He needs to find someone who thinks—or someone who knows— tongues, fingers, brains, kinks, etc., can add up to great sex.

As a trauma/rape survivor, I found myself attracted to girls afterward. Is this because I’m scared of men or am I genuinely attracted to girls? Is this a thing that happens after trauma?

People react to trauma in all sorts of ways— some of them unpredictable. And trauma has the power to unlock truths or obscure them. I’m sorry you were raped, and I would encourage you to explore these issues with a counselor.

Rape Victim Advocates (rapevictimadvocates. org) can help you find a qualified counselor.

Do you think a relationship in this day and age can last forever?

Some relationships last forever and should, some last forever and shouldn’t. “Forever,” here defined as “until one or both partners are dead,” isn’t the sole measure of relationship quality or success.

My boyfriend refuses to finish inside me. When he’s about to come, he pulls out and comes on my chest. Every time. I told him I have an IUD and there’s no risk of pregnancy. How do I remain a feminist when my boyfriend comes on my chest every night? I know he loves me, but I feel very objectified.

A woman who enjoys having someone come on her chest doesn’t have to surrender her feminist card for letting someone come on her chest. But you don’t enjoy it—it makes you feel objectified in the wrong way. (Most of us, feminists included, enjoy being appreciated for our parts and our smarts.) Use your words: “I don’t like it when you come on my chest. So that’s over.” He’ll have to respect that limit or he’ll have to go. If he doesn’t feel comfortable coming inside you, IUD or no IUD, you’ll have to respect his choice. He can pull out and come somewhere else—in his own hand, on his own belly, or in a condom.

My boyfriend wants me to talk more in bed. I am not a shy person, but making sentences during sex doesn’t come naturally to me—though I am very uninhibited with my vocals! What’s a good way to get more comfortable talking during sex?

Tell him what you’re gonna do (“I’m gonna suck that dick”), tell him what you’re doing (“I’m sucking that dmmffhm”), tell him what you just did (“I sucked that dick”).

Hey, Dan! I’m 27 and I just lost my virginity.

Thanks for all the help!

You’re welcome!

with Sam Elliott

COURTESY THE ORCHARD

On Friday June 30, a new film starring legendary character actor Sam Elliott opens at the Center for Contemporary Arts and Violet Crown, and it’s a doozy. A screenplay tailor-made for Elliott, The Hero (see Movies, page 39) follows a once-famous Western film star in the wake of a cancer diagnosis as he attempts to right his past mistakes and make up for a lifetime’s worth of decisions he regrets.

Elliott is absolutely brilliant as the regretful, marijuana-loving Lee Hayden, and seeing him dig deep alongside actors like Parks and Recreation’s Nick Offerman is the stuff film buffs’ dreams are made of. For now, just know that when an interview opportunity to talk with a bonafide legend comes along, you answer the call. An extended version of this interview appears online at sfreporter.com. (Alex De Vore) Was it weird or exciting to have a project built around you? Maybe a bit of both?

I think it’s a lot of both. It really was born out of a relationship with writer/director Brett Haley that started on a picture called I’ll See You in My Dreams. … I was only there a couple of weeks on the shoot, but we spent a lot of time on the road promoting the film, and really got very close, as one would when you spend a lot of time and are logging a lot of air miles with someone. [We were] getting to know each other and talking about our lives and Brett decided he was gonna write this thing for me. He went back to Brooklyn with his writing partner Marc Basch, who’s a Brooklyn boy, too, and they came up with it, and it was an amazing gift. There wasn’t any doubt that I was gonna do this thing. I’ve had parts written for me over the years, but never where I’m on every page.

It was daunting and exciting; the fact that it was so close to me was daunting, and I’ve never played an actor before. And that made it a challenge, which was a lot of fun.

Did some of the story elements hit a little close to home, and was that difficult to confront?

No. I don’t think so. I understood this guy. I think what made it uncomfortable was, I thought about a couple of my friends from days gone by. ... These were people who spent a lifetime in the pursuit of a career, had a peak and had a moment where they were on people’s lips and then lost it all for whatever reason. In most cases, that’s because the business says ‘Naw, we’re moving on to the next guy.’ I kept those guys in mind.

Neither one of them is living.

Did you learn anything new about yourself while making this film?

No. I don’t think of myself as very interesting. I think I felt like I was on to something here only because, again, it was just all on the page. We shot this thing in 18 days for a budget of around $1.2 million. You make it for the love of the beast. If you love making films and you love this business, it’s about the work. That just made it a pure joy. It was a jam-packed 18 days, but it was the highlight of my career. If I’m done tomorrow, I’ll be good with it.

WINE

¡Pour Vida!

BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

“

In some ways, cork is uniquely perfect for sealing wine. Cork is made of a honeycomb of cells and wax that can be compressed but remain flexible—perfect for forming a tight seal in a bottle neck. It also allows a slight amount of oxygen into the wine, which, over a long period of time, helps the aging process. If wine is exposed to too much oxygen, it oxidizes rapidly; too little oxygen and it becomes reductive. Oxidized wine tastes tired and loses its structure. Reductive wine tastes like rotten eggs. A sulfide fingerprint, created

hich is better: screw cap or cork?” someone recently asked me. Immediately I knew what was on the line. My entire job revolves around opening wine; I have probably opened thousands of bottles for strangers, friends and customers. If all wine bottles were as easy to open as a can of Coca-Cola, you wouldn’t really need a sommelier standing at your table.

Many wine drinkers are afraid of threatening the ritual, of making the sacred ordinary, as if we’re one bottle of Caymus or Meiomi or Beringer white zinfandel away from ruining the world of wine forever and preventing people from drinking all the “good” wines in the world—as if those wines are somehow lesser because they are more dependent on brand identity than on terroir.

Thousands of years ago, wine wasn’t stored in bottles, but in amphorae that weren’t sealed. Even if you were a slave in ancient Rome, you were allocated wine. And sure, it was grape pomace that had already been pressed multiple times and mixed with water—but wine was still your right.

Most people in human history didn’t drink wine that was expensive and aged for many years.

They drank wine because it was safer than water.

Fast-forward a few centuries after Roman slaves slaked their thirst, English coal-fired glass bottles changed wine into something that could be stored and shipped and aged for much longer. And when the British began sealing wine with cork stoppers from Portugal (as many containers for medicine were also sealed), they realized they could “Sexy Beast” age it for decades, and wine becab/sav: came more than just trade or Drink if you love medicine or something to drink historical because water was diseased. It precedent could be a treasured work of art.

by yeasts post-fermentation, gets trapped in the bottle without the presence of oxygen—a common potential flaw in screw cap (or Stelvin) seals. Both closures have advantages, and both can cause flaws.

Stelvin will probably never eliminate cork. The right wines aged under cork will age beautifully and develop both a structural integration and a complex bouquet that was not present in youth. But not all wines need to be aged for decades. Some only need a few years, because they’ll be sitting on the shelves of a restaurant or grocery store. Some only need a few hours, because you have a dinner party or you need a housewarming gift or you’re going on a picnic in a small town some-

where new and you didn’t pack a corkscrew and you’ll be able to get to it that much faster with a simple twist.

Here are a few of my favorite Stelvinsealed wines: Nikolaihof, Grüner Veltliner, “Federspiel,” Wachau 2013 This biodynamic wine is produced from grapes that were left to ripen on the vine longer before being fermented to an impressive level of total dryness. It’s a labor of love from nose to finish. Drink if you love small family-owned wineries with an unwavering commitment to sustainability.

Schlossgut Diel, pinot noir, “Rosé de Diel,” Nahe 2016 This historic winery, in possession of many great vineyard sites, is managed with care and attention by Caroline Diel, and is probably in the middle of its best vintage yet of rosé. The 2016 Diel is not to be missed. It is a fabulous, mineral-tinged, charmingly summery rosé, yet has structure and substance. Drink if you love flawless style and meticulous craftsmanship.

Chehalem, pinot noir, “Three Vineyard,” Willamette Valley 2013 Normally I wouldn’t recommend the same grape twice, but the Diel is delicious. If you are genuinely curious about screw caps, Chehalem has long been committed to research and education regarding the effects of Stelvin on wine. Winemaker Harry Peterson-Nedry has been studying screw caps for 22 years, and his “Three Vineyard” pinot noir is far from an amateur effort. Drink if you love empowering wine drinkers through education.

“Three Vineyard” pinot noir: 22 years of screw cap study

“Federspiel” Grüner Veltliner: Labor of love = longer ripening times

“Rosé de Diel” pinot noir: Mineral-tinged and not to be missed

Two Hands, cabernet sauvignon, “Sexy Beast,” McLaren Vale 2014 Wines of all varieties and sizes can perform admirably under screw cap, and this cabernet sauvignon is no exception. A nod must be made to the Southern Hemisphere’s role both in popularizing the closure (thanks to the 2001 New Zealand screw cap initiative which sought to use the screw cap and educate wine drinkers to its benefits) and in fact creating it in the first place (an Australian winemaker named Peter Wall, of Yalumba, contracted a French company to produce it for him in 1964). Drink if you love a historical precedent for innovation and quality control.

Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

BY ERIC KILLELEA a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

fter all the artists’ work, all the praise, all the money generated for Santa Fe and New Mexico—after all that, how do we see Meow Wolf and the House of Eternal Return? Is the collective making art? Does the 20,000-square-foot space offer an experience of art or mere entertainment?

Is this a business or a political animal, and does that matter? Regardless of the answers, such questions are seemingly only being raised behind closed doors.

To understand Meow Wolf (1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369, meowwolf.com), let’s remember that it was born nine years ago and reared by a group of 135 artists who exhibited works such as the 2011 installation of a 70-foot ship at the Center for Contemporary Arts called The Due Return. In 2015, George RR Martin, the Santa Fe writer-in-residence who conceived Game of Thrones, bought the abandoned Silva Lanes bowling alley on Rufina Circle and invested $3 million for renovations, essentially becoming Meow Wolf’s landlord, according to an article from Albuquerque Business First in April of last year.

The House emerged in March 2016, and has since welcomed locals and tourists to enjoy its fantastical, interactive experience.

Meow Wolf has also blossomed into a business juggernaut. Earlier this year, Vince Kadlubek, the 35-year-old CEO and co-founder, said that MW brought in over 400,000 visitors and generated $6 million in revenue in 2016. A report from the state Economic Development Department estimated the creation of 440 jobs and $358 million in revenue over the next decade.

Last month, Gov. Susana Martinez announced that Meow Wolf—which she christened “one of the world’s premier arts destinations”—was purchasing the former Caterpillar fabrication plant to house offices for 250 jobs to be created over the next five years, allowing access to a proposed $750,000 in state economic development grant money. The city will reportedly add $250,000.

Mayor Javier Gonzales, who had appointed Kadlubek to his current post on the city Planning Commission in 2015,

MARK WOODWARD

A&C Meow Wolf critics contemplate art vs. entertainment conundrum

said he was “proud of Meow Wolf for achieving great success while adding to the Santa Fe brand of high-quality art and performance experiences.”

Today, Kadlubek defines MW as “more than just an art exhibit.” It’s “an art collective that has become a for-profit business selling a new type of artwork that’s immersive, interactive and story-based,” Kadlubek tells SFR. “It’s a huge economic boost through the entire state.”

The owners of mobile art gallery Axle Contemporary support the space. “Meow Wolf has been a wonderful, powerful, energizing benefit to Santa Fe,” Jerry Wellman and Matthew Chase-Daniel write in a Facebook message. When asked whether MW is creating art or entertainment, the artists reply, “They are creating and engaging in the languages of both,” before adding that “the definition of art is unanswerable in an objective way.”

For Kadlubek, the answer comes with a particular tone. “Yes, we consider Meow Wolf art,” he explains. “I personally don’t care what you call it; it’s an assemblage of creativity that is bringing jobs to people.

You can call it entertainment.”

Entertainment? That’s what some artists are calling it.

“To me, it’s nothing more than entertainment,” Ilona Pachler, a Santa Fe artist who has also had solo exhibitions in New York and Austria. “I visited the House and said, ‘Oh, cool. But that is not enough.’ You look at it for 10 minutes and forget about it. Does it stretch your imagination? Does it stretch your thought process? I don’t think so.”

Artist Darrell Wilks, a former creative director at ad agencies Grey NYC and J Walter Thompson in New York who served on the Santa Fe Film Festival board, says that Meow Wolf “is impressive because its members were able to have resources and the wherewithal to create such a large-scale project.” After visiting the House, however, he felt he “was not the audience.”

Painter Tim Reed, who’s showing his art in the upcoming The Only Way Out Is Through exhibit at FreeForm Art Space, says Meow Wolf is “a spectacle that’s nice and enjoyable,” but “toxic.” He explains: “This exhibit being sold to the public as fine art is poisonous to fine art,” he says.

“Fine art is one of the most important tools we have to healing in a troubled society. It’s a charade.”

So why is criticism necessary? The artists here don’t want to change our minds about MW, but they feel the need to express themselves as others cower from reviewing the place in any capacity other than glowlingly positive. Several artists and gallery owners refused to return interview requests or declined to speak on the record, expressing concern over “attracting conflict” and “retaliation.”

Kadlubek gets defensive when hearing scrutiny and argues that the “art world enjoys segregating creativity that is consumed by a general population as entertainment.”

“There’s an art tradition that if it’s creativity and the general population is enjoying it then it’s no longer art,” Kadlubek says. “In order to get the ‘art’ tag, it seems like you have to play to a population that is a bit more segmented and elite. There’s a hundred different opinions at Meow Wolf.

I don’t care to segment art and creative.

It’s pretty clear to see what creativity is.”

Reed, however, doesn’t buy the argu-

ment. “If you speak out and criticize, then you appear to attack the people who took part in creating it,” Reed says. “But it’s not that. Critique has opened so much in art.

It’s inherent. My brain still wants it to be art, so it has to be criticized. But we’re selling ourselves short if we convince ourselves that this is art.”

Pachler adds: “You can be a commercial success and still be considered art.”

Earlier this month, Kadlubek told the Denver Post that he’s been realty-hunting for a new Meow Wolf space in Colorado and later confirmed that he was also visiting cities like Austin, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Oklahoma City, Houston and Albuquerque. “Right now, there is nothing certain,” says Kadlubek, who plans to announce a new facility mid-summer. “The size of the exhibit has to be much larger than Santa Fe. The real estate deal is monumental.”

For now, artists continue to contemplate Meow Wolf’s role in the creative community.

“This is not art anymore,” Pachler says. “It’s business. It’s politics. It’s all blurry.”

his is a sculpture of San Antonio de Valero, called the Alamo. It is not a model but rather an impression of the feel of the structure with the age and history that it has gone through. The actual mission was founded in 1718. The building itself was started in 1744, but the inscription above the door says 1758 AVR—presumably Ave Maria Regina, “Hail Mary, Queen (of Heaven).” It is most famous and revered for the heroic but fatal stand of 1836 against General Santa Anna and his troops for independence from Mexico. The church fell into ruins, and after Texas joined the Union in 1845, the Army Quartermaster Corp rebuilt the façade and added the profile of the now famous parapet in 1850.

The drawer assemblage containing images and artifacts that tell a story of the Alamo itself is by PJ Cardinale, my wife and fellow artist since 1966.

The Hero Review

10

Sam Elliott’s finest hour

9 8

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

7

Sam Elliott gives what may just be the performance of his career in The Hero, a painful yet ultimately hopeful look into the side effects of fading stardom and the hard knocks of aging.

Elliott is Lee Hayden, a one-time Western film star in the twilight of his existence. As Lee faces a grim medical diagnosis, he begins to reconsider his legacy and tries to patch things up with his family, but as his unresolved emotions begin to pile, he grapples with whether or not he’s led a life worth living.

Lee spends his days getting stoned with his former costar Jeremy (Nick Offerman, who previously starred alongside Elliott in the sitcom Parks and Recreation), providing voiceover work for commercials with his deep, booming voice or trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter (Krysten Ritter). When he starts dating a much younger woman named Charlotte (Orange is the New Black’s Laura Prepon) and is offered a life-

time achievement award from some rinky-dink Western appreciation club, he sets into motion what may be a professional second wind. Still, he deals with the diagnosis alone, causing him to stumble in auditions and sabotage whatever scraps of potential happiness he may have left.

Writer/director Brett Haley (I’ll See You in My Dreams) crafted The Hero specifically for Elliott, who is utterly brilliant—all at once effortlessly channeling his own real-world career and the stark sadness of a father who feels he’s failed his child. Even as he’s point-blank confronted with the possibility that he’s only trying to right the past in the face of death, Lee wonders how that

could possibly be so bad; he’s not wrong so much as it may be too late.

But still he tries, even as he feels he never lived up to his own promise. This isn’t easy to watch, but it does raise poignant questions, all the while cutting to the very core of universal self-doubt and our innate human need to feel we did OK with whatever limited time we may have had.

CHASING TRANE: THE JOHN COLTRANE DOCUMENTARY

8

+ DENZEL WASHINGTON AS JOHN COLTRANE

- DENSE FOR THE CAUSAL JAZZ FAN

Featuring the friends, family and famous fans of John Coltrane (read: Bill Clinton and John Densmore of The Doors fame), the documentary Chasing Trane follows the celebrated jazz man from “country bumpkin” to full-on legend.

From humble beginnings blossoms a friendship with fellow saxophonist Benny Golson, through whose interviews we learn that Trane himself was a quiet but soulful man translating painful experiences into music. Coltrane was raised in a Methodist household during the Jim Crow era, and his music often drew upon church gospels and explored themes of race and perseverance in the face of discrimination. Aside from using music for political and personal expression, the man was a pioneer, pushing jazz forward into uncharted territory. He dared to challenge contemporary “jazz,” experimenting with tone, rhythm, and instrumentation, even at the risk of alienating listeners.

Oh, you know—just John Coltrane being an emmer-effing legend.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2

It was, however, this unbridled confidence and creativity that earned him a place of idolatry in so many jazz lovers’ hearts. Critically acclaimed director John Scheinfeld (The US vs. John Lennon) pulls no stops. Unafraid to explore the more painful sides of Coltrane’s story, Scheinfeld presents an authentic image of a deeply talented but troubled musician struggling with heroin addiction. But despite his shortcomings, those close to Trane acknowledge his unrelenting kindness: Even when high or drunk, Trane was the same gentle man. The result is a more humanized and personal portrait of one of the jazz world’s biggest stars, just as entertaining as it is touching.

While Scheinfeld does engage the audience, the amount of information Chasing Trane conveys can be overwhelming. Of course, with a career as diverse as Coltrane’s, it’s hard to keep things short and sweet, but in sweetness this film is not lacking. Through playful and enthusiastic interviews, the film has the perfect blend of humor and sentimentality.

Inspiring, fun and thoughtful, Chasing Trane will stay with you long after the music ends.

THE MUMMY

3

+ I MEAN, IT’S PEOPLE FIGHTING MUMMIES

- TOM CRUISE, IN GENERAL

Where does one even begin in dismantling any far-fetched high hopes for a quality reboot (sort of, but more on that soon) of The Mummy with Tom Cruise? First off, Cruise at this point is really more of an onscreen presence than actual thespian. Rather than sink his teeth into anything, Cruise remains content to sprint towards things or away from things and make silly quips and one-liners while doing his best to not look as short as he actually is next to his leading ladies.

Here Cruise plays Nick Morton, an American solider of some kind who, along with his reluctant cohort Vail (New Girl’s Jake Johnson), disregards orders to traipse around the Middle East stealing artifacts to sell on the black market. It’s absurd—and not in a fun, Indiana Jones kind of way because at least Indy was all like, “It belongs in a museum!” It’s more like, Cruise-isn’t-ascharming-as-he-thinks-and-who-the-hell-decided-to-try-and-inject-humor-into-this-movie kind of way. During a routine theft attempt in Iraq, Nick and Vail unwittingly discover the ancient tomb (or is it?!) of an Egyptian princess (Sofia Boutella) who was buried alive for making a deal with the god Set so she could be all kinds of powerful. Wouldn’t you know it, though—they awaken her, she’s pissed and she’s gonna give Set Nick’s body so he can have dominion over life and death which, frankly, doesn’t sound all bad to us.

Along for the ride is a beautiful archaeologist named Jennifer (Annabelle Wallis) with whom Nick shares one of those oh-so-playfully combative relationships (but they probably care deeply about each other). Jen has secrets of her own, though, like how she works for Russell Crowe who—twist!—plays Dr. Jekyll. Yes, yes— that Dr. Jekyll. See, Universal Studios is clearly telegraphing a return to their monster movie stable of yesteryear, and with sly nods to properties like the Creature from the Black Lagoon and vampires and stuff, it becomes clear to film fans (read: people of a certain age) that there’s plenty more where this came from whether we like it or not.

The exposition becomes downright gratuitous at a certain point, and it isn’t long before we realize we’ve just been watching running punctuated by a few face-punches, and whatever light elements of Egyptology may have made it through seem squandered to a fault. No, this film is not as goofy-fun as the 1999 Brendan Fraser romp, and even far-superior CGI and a lack of The Rock don’t make up for a dragging plot,

If this had actually happened in The Mummy, that would have been more enjoyable.

god-awful writing and another forgettable turn from Cruise. Killing time? Knock yourselves out.

Looking for something even slightly good? Move on. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 110 min.

WONDER WOMAN

7

+ GAL GADOT ABLY BLENDS BEAUTY AND BRAWN

- RATHER FORMULAIC

The long-overdue Wonder Woman film is an origin story that doesn’t shrink from the beauty or brawn of a hero in whom the parallels of ancient mythology and modern superhero fiction become literal.

Diana (Gal Gadot), the precocious daughter of Queen Hippolyta (Connie Nielsen), is a princess of the superhuman Amazons. The all-female tribe, originally created by Zeus to protect mortals, eventually withdrew to the mystical “Paradise Island” of Themyscira to escape man’s wickedness. But mankind interrupts paradise when American soldier and spy Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) crash-lands on Diana’s doorstep, during World War I, with a squadron of Germans in pursuit.

As the far-off factions negotiate an armistice, a rogue German general (Danny Huston) and his maimed, mad chemist (Elena Anaya) concoct a new nerve agent that could tip the balance of the war. Hearing of the cataclysm and motivated by the mythological bedtime stories of her childhood, Diana comes to believe

that only she can save the world by leaving Themyscira and vanquishing Ares, the Greek god of war and an enemy of the Amazons.

Arriving in World War I-era London, Diana peruses a new wardrobe to cover her utilitarian leather skirt and blend into a corseted, maledominated society as her alter ego, Diana Prince. “How do you fight in this attire?” the warrior unironically asks, donning an outfit that evokes the fashion of the women’s suffrage movement. The scene references the comicbook origins of Wonder Woman, whose creator, psychologist William Moulton Marston, was partly inspired by early-20th-century feminism.

Director Patty Jenkins (Monster) was originally tapped to direct Thor 2 before leaving the Marvel Studios project due to creative differences. For more than a decade, she lobbied to helm a Wonder Woman film, and then got the gig after Michelle MacLaren dropped out. The result is the most grounded of the first four films in the evolving DC Extended Universe. It doesn’t reinvent the superhero origin story; it’s rather formulaic in that regard.

Pine’s able mix of wit and earnestness serves him well as Diana’s sherpa and latent love interest, and Gadot strikes the right balance as an alluring, even playful idealist who relishes the battle but not the war. Wonder Woman isn’t a transcendent movie heroine à la Ellen Ripley from Alien or Imperator Furiosa from Mad Max: Fury Road. But she is seminal, if not singular, in modern superhero cinema. (Neil Morris) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 141 min.

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

6

+ GHOST PIRATES! - GHOST PIRATES…

Johnny Depp and crew are back as Captain Jack Sparrow and a bunch of bafflingly yet inextricably linked seafaring types in the newest installment of Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer’s Pirates franchise. Looks like Jack Sparrow ran afoul of a Spanish captain named Salazar (a wonderfully spooky Javier Bardem) some years ago and, as is the style of these films, that means supernatural curses for some reason and more acrobatic adventure for the likes of the formerly-also-cursed Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Henry Turner (the son of Orlando Bloom’s Will Turner from previous films, as played by the incredibly conventionally handsome Brenton Thwaites from Gods of Egypt) and a brilliant if brash young scientist named Carina (The Maze Runner’s Kaya Scodelario).

Young Henry wants to save his dad from service on the ghost ship Flying Dutchman, but he’ll need the fabled trident of Poseidon to do so.

According to legend, anyone who’s got that thing is basically the king of the sea. The only catch is that to get that bad boy he’ll need a “map no man can read.” Good thing Carina is a woman (and also conveniently has the map), so they join Jack Sparrow to get that danged artifact while Salazar nips at their heels totally ready to kill everyone cause he straight crazy.

Wonder Woman is super-important and a great female role model, but anyone who’s never had one of those clearly didn’t read Julie of the Wolves in elementary school. Just saying. films ago and chooses to favor ghosts and stuff over good old-fashioned pirating, Dead Men isn’t as bad as you’d think. This isn’t to say it’s great by any means—more like you’ll probably never find yourself bored. Depp is … fine as Sparrow, but we’ve of course grown accustomed to his Keith Richards-y bumbling and damn-near-unbelievable ability to piss off every fucking ghost and curse victim throughout the Seven Seas. Bardem is brilliant as always and actually provides a fun villain, it’s just that everything else is fairly predictable at this point.

Paul McCartney’s cameo, however, is a pure delight, and we would have watched a whole movie just with him being a goofball. Still, pirates get stabbed, and what else are you doing? (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 129 min.

GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2

are, in fact, some downright moving scenes shared between Quill and his sorta-kinda adoptive father Yondu (an exceedingly fun Michael Rooker). And all the while, great tunes from the likes of Looking Glass, Cat Stevens and ELO blare through the speakers through firefights and space battles, gravity-defying Pac-Man references and, gleefully, the reveal of the fate of one Howard the Duck.

Writer and director James Gunn absolutely nails the tone, and even when things become borderline too-serious, he knows just how to pull it out and make us laugh. Throw in excitingyet-brief appearances from heavyweights like Michelle Yeoh and Sylvester Stallone, and we’ve got what may be the perfect summer movie; the opening dance sequence alone is worth the price of admission. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 136 min.

+ SO FUN, SO FUNNY, SO COOL - NOT AS IMPACTFUL AS THE FIRST FILM

In a sea of ultra-serious films based on comic books, melodrama fatigue becomes a serious concern. Thank goodness then for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, another excellent outing for the lesser-known Marvel heroes and one of the most incredibly fun franchises currently hitting theaters.

Once again, we join Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and Groot (now in baby form but still voiced by Vin Diesel) as they unwittingly get swept up into the collective role of galactic saviors.

When Quill’s father Ego (an excellent Kurt Russell) finally tracks him down after 30-plus years of searching, the humorous hero learns of his origins and—get this—they are dubious.

Turns out his dad’s a god (“With a little ‘g,’” Ego says) with nefarious intentions, and the Guardians must step in to set him straight.

Of course, the two-pronged approach of slapstick antics and absolutely killer soundtrack are the real draw here, but Guardians also manages to drive home some fairly heavy material on the topics of family drama, friendship and, almost surprisingly, love—though never in a way as silly as the overarching plot would lead us to believe.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): This is a perfect moment to create a new tradition, Aries. You intuitively know how to turn one of your recent breakthroughs into a good habit that will provide continuity and stability for a long time to come. You can make a permanent upgrade in your life by capitalizing on an accidental discovery you made during a spontaneous episode. It’s time, in other words, to convert the temporary assistance you received into a long-term asset; to use a stroke of luck to foster a lasting pleasure.
