NEWS, MARCH 16: “THE TIPPING POINT”

AGAINST THE TIP

Tipping is an outdated and harmful custom: studies from restaurants show it’s discriminatory (e.g. black servers earn less), correlated to sexual harassment, and nearly uncorrelated to service quality. Uber has also provided a reference point for its inconvenience, as it’s become a selling point for them, reducing friction considerably in a post-cash society.

I hope Uber stands their ground on keeping tipping out of their app.

“SPINNING OUT”

I’ve always had a mixed lunch experience there. Everyone I go with orders breakfast burritos. I’ve enjoyed the sandwiches, but their Indian(?) themed soup is terribly flavorless. The tofu scramble is a soggy prank and should be removed. I’ve had birthday cakes that tasted like Walmart, but tarts that have been quite good.

Mixed bag every time.

Big Shots at the Capitol Carrying rounds into the Roundhouse

BY RO BE RT B A S L E R

ST EV EN SA N SO N

T

his fanciful bit of marital dialogue serves to remind my readers that we live in a state where it is perfectly legal to go visit your representative at the Roundhouse with a gun swinging from your hip. Or, if you’re more demure, you may show up with your weapon concealed.

Makes no difference to us, we’re an equal opportunity state.

What could go wrong with allowing visitors to be lethally armed in a building where, by definition, about half of the people are going to be disappointed or disgruntled at any given time?

What prompted me to write about this right now wasn’t the mindless insanity of letting paranoid gunslingers bring firearms into our seat of power. Rather, it was some changes that have been suggested to address this issue. More on that in just a minute.

New Mexico’s gun policy is more complex than you might think. It doesn’t just pit sane, well-adjusted citizens against knuckle-dragging supporters of the Worst Amendment.

The reason some lawmakers are reluctant to ban guns at the Capitol is that they would then be vulnerable to charges that they have chosen to protect themselves on the job, while doing nothing to protect their constituents elsewhere. Even some progressive politicians are loath to grant themselves this extra-special protection.

The question I have about allowing guns in the Roundhouse is, why would intelligent, prudent, levelheaded people need to … never mind, I think I just answered my own question.

My column today was inspired by a KOAT online story I read recently about some legislators talking about the subject. According to the article, “Lawmakers said they’re in favor of adding metal detectors at Roundhouse entrances so they’d at least know who’s walking in with guns.”

Hey, stop laughing! That’s your brilliant idea, huh?

Folks would still be able to prowl the Capitol bristling with enough firepower for the Gunfight at the OK Corral, but first they would have to be scanned? All the inconvenience, without any of the actual safety!

I don’t get what this achieves. Is the idea that when the security dudes hear gunshots ring out in the Senate gallery, at least they won’t be surprised? They’ll know exactly how many shots to listen for?

Picture this scene: “Sir, would you please go back through the metal detector again for me?”

“Go back through? But you can SEE I’m carrying a .44 Magnum! What is there to detect? Just look at these bullets in my Poncho Villa bandolier! I’m an embittered, walking death machine!”

“Please just cooperate with our exercise in pointlessness, sir. We’re with the state government.”

But look, I do want to be reasonable about this, for any gun nuts, I mean enthusiasts, who may be reading my column. Fair is fair. Even though I personally oppose private citizens walking around armed at the Capitol, I propose a compromise.

Here it is. If you want to bring a concealed weapon into the Roundhouse, there is one very specific orifice in your body where you may conceal it, with my blessing. I can’t promise it will be very comfortable.

And not to be indelicate or anything, but be sure to bring along plenty of lubricant. The taxpayers sure as hell aren’t going to supply it for you.

Cannabis Court Hurdle Curtailed

Neighboring states that asked the Supreme Court to stop Colorado’s recreational marijuana sales lost the fight when justices this week decided not to hear the case. Even though attorneys general for Oklahoma and Nebraska wanted the high court to recognize what they say is Colorado’s pre-emption of federal law, the federal government itself wrote a brief urging the court to reject the case.

Proponents of marijuana law reform say the ruling is a positive step for other states, like New Mexico, that have already implemented medical cannabis programs and are eying more broad changes.

“The Supreme Court’s rejection of this misguided effort to undo cau-

BRIEFS

tious and effective state-level regulation of marijuana is excellent news for the many other states looking to adopt similar reforms in 2016 and beyond,” Tamar Todd, legal affairs director for the Drug Policy Alliance, writes in a press release. “Other states are looking to what Colorado has accomplished: the drops in racially disparate arrests, the criminal justice dollars saved, and the tax revenue raised and want to adopt similar marijuana law reforms.

The dismissal of this action means that the four states that have adopted ballot initiatives by decisive margins to tax and regulate marijuana for adults, as well as the many states that have adopted laws to regulate medical marijuana, can proceed without interference at this time.”

But don’t look for any big change in the Land of Enchantment. The next legislative session is scheduled for early in 2017, and with a governor who’s so far been opposed to recreational marijuana here, even if lawmakers approve a change to the state constitution, it would require voter approval in a subsequent general election.

Chaco Fracking Slowed The Bureau of Land Management has deferred the sale of three oil and gas lease parcels and 2,122 acres of federally owned mineral rights on Navajo allotments, a move environmental groups challenging fracking near Chaco Canyon say supports their case that development in that area needs to stop. The BLM’s existing resource management plan fails to account for the scale of development that new technology, including horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, allows for in the area. The agency is in the process of revising that plan, and the Western Environmental Law Center, Diné Citizens Against Ruining Our Environment and San Juan Citizens Alliance are suing to stop development until it’s completed.

“Deferring these parcels was the right and, indeed, only legally defensible decision,” Kyle Tisdel, attorney and climate and energy program director for the Western Environmental Law Center, writes in a press release.

Their lawsuit was recently heard in

Please Nominate Santa Fe Stucco & Roofing for:

BEST ROOFING COMPANY

the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The groups were notified by email about the decision to defer the leases.

“Fracking is an insult to Navajos in Greater Chaco because it not only compromises the cultural landscape, the land and air quality, but it also threatens our water resources. Water is a scarce resource for many Navajos across the reservation; many people do not have access to safe and clean drinking water,” Carol Davis of Diné Citizens Against Ruining Our Environment writes. “Many Navajos, like myself, pay approximately $33.75 for 900 gallons of potable water for home use on a weekly basis. Meanwhile, the oil and gas companies misuse millions of gallons of our precious Navajo water in the fracking process—a process that results in the majority of fracking fluid waste being permanently contaminated.” (Elizabeth Miller)

Bee-pocalypse The disappearance of bees probably isn’t as bad as you think—and there’s plenty you can do

COURTESY OF PRINCETON PRESS

NEWS

L AURA PA SK U S @LauraPa s ku s

T

o read some of the headlines over the past few years, you’d think all the continent’s bees were dying terrible, troubled deaths.

In Canada, General Mills has even removed all but the outline of its trademark bee, Buzz, from boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios as part of its #BringBackTheBees campaign, which also distributes free packets of wildflower seeds.

But: The bees are all right.

Or at least, a lot of them are.

If you’re like most Americans, you can probably name just a few types of bees. Bumblebee. Honeybee. You might call a fuzzy flying bug you see a “sweat bee.”

Giddy up, kiddos, because there are way more bees than that.

Last fall, Princeton University Press published The Bees in Your Back Yard: A Guide to North America’s Bees. Along with her co-author, Joseph S Wilson, Santa Fe’s Olivia Messinger Carril provides identification information on thousands of bee species that live in the United States and Canada.

Headline-grabbing diseases like colony collapse disorder only affect honeybees, Carril explains.

“To say that all bees are in decline implies that they all respond the same to all environmental changes,” she says. But that’s not the case. When it comes to diet, there are specialist and generalized bees. Then there are ground-nesters and twig-nesters, bees that live communally in hives, and bees that are more solitary. “They’re going to respond differently depending on their own little bodies and how they evolved,” says Carril.

People can make educated guesses and say that pesticide use or large-scale changes to the landscape—like converting a meadow into a soybean or corn field—aren’t helpful to the survival of a bee population. But without evidence showing what the populations were before the changes, it’s difficult to say exactly what’s happening.

Researchers say more than 400 species of bees live in the region. This one is a leaf-cutter bee.

“It’s a normal thing for populations to fluctuate,” she says of wild bees. “They move around, depending on where the flowers are coming up, depending on moisture—and that makes it hard to know when you are actually seeing a decline.”

And while some New Mexicans may have watched as their mail-order honeybees died within backyard hives, there are millions of native bees in the state, pollinating flowers, searching out tiny puddles of water and living the good life.

“The interesting thing about bees in New Mexico is how little is known about them,” says Carril. “There are about 4,000 species of bees in North America—and over a thousand of them are probably found in New Mexico.”

Scientists know that, but not because of widespread surveys or samples. Unlike some states, New Mexico hasn’t been sampled extensively. Rather, says Carril, when range maps show a species living in, say, Mexico, Colorado, and Texas, it’s probably safe to assume they live here, too.

The official tally for Santa Fe County lists only about 100 species, she says, “but easily, there are 300 to 400 in the area. It’s just no one has taken a net to see what’s here.” She adds that’s probably true for much of northern and central New Mexico.

“All these different eco-regions come together, even kind of around Santa Fe: the Rockies, the Col-

orado Plateau, desert, plains,” she says. “It all must make for interesting bee dynamics.”

All that said, bees could still use a boost. And there are easy ways to help them.

“Bees want to survive, just like we all do. They’re opportunists,” says Carril. “It’s easy to help bees out: They will take anything you give them.”

Carril points out that people often plant daffodils and tulips around public buildings. Those early bloomers signal spring to those of us walking past.

“It would be just as easy to put in native plants that bloom in the spring,” she says. “That tiny shift on state and county and city land could do a lot to help the bee populations that were here before us.”

Around Santa Fe, there are plenty of bee-friendly plants for people to grow, including anything in the sunflower, mint or pea families. Other good plants for native bees include rabbit brush, asters, fleabane, penstemons, globe mallow, cactus flowers and Russian sage.

Carpenter bees like to nest inside yucca plants, she says, and leaf cutter bees like rose leaves to cut out and take back to their nest. And sometimes, helping bees is as easy as not raking up last season’s detritus: “Any sort of perennial with long stalks, don’t cut them off, or if you do,” says Carril, “leave them on the ground, because bees will nest inside those old stems.”

hen Teresa Anaya heard the words “grand jury,” she felt hope for the first time since a heavy knock on her door two months prior. She welcomed the words— and the hope—because they arrived amid a growing darkness that gripped her family in a way nothing ever had.

A grand jury couldn’t recover what the Anayas lost, but it could, they believed, clear a path for justice.

Eventually, the words “grand jury” would become weightless symbols of a system Teresa believes betrayed her family. And the hope would disappear like a puff of gun smoke, back into the darkness that began to gather with that knock on the door.

A pair of New Mexico State Police officers in plain clothes arrived at Teresa and Jake Anaya’s Bellamah neighborhood home on the morning of Nov. 7, 2013. Their 39-yearold daughter, Jeanette Anaya, had been shot by police, the officers said.

As Jeanette’s father sat mostly silent, her mother responded with an escalating torrent of tears and screams. “Where is she?”

Teresa demanded of the officers. “Is she going to be OK?” Jeanette was not going to be OK. She was dead.

One of the officers told Teresa to get hold of herself. They provided no details. Soon after, they were gone.

Grief mounted for the Anaya family in the ensuing weeks, as they learned a series of grim facts: New Mexico State Police Officer Oliver Wilson, who had been on the force a year and a half, tried to pull Jeanette over on a highly questionable traffic violation—so questionable that Santa Fe police refused to join the ensuing pursuit. Jeanette didn’t stop. Instead, she led Wilson on a chase across surface streets and through residential Santa Fe. The pursuit ended when Jeanette slowed down, and Wilson used his police car to spin her silver Honda Accord around. Then, Wilson got out and fired 16 shots at Jeanette’s car. One of the bullets went through the side of Jeanette’s head; another struck the top of her back. Wilson’s story about the shooting didn’t completely square with a video captured on the dashboard camera of his patrol car, or with the version of events described by the passenger in Jeanette’s car.

Wilson’s fellow state police officers quickly finished a criminal investigation of the shooting, with no assistance from other agencies, and then passed it along to the district attorney, an elected official whose success depends largely on cooperation from police as witnesses in court prosecutions.

The Anayas began to feel the deck was stacked against what they wanted: criminal charges against Wilson.

They hired Tom Clark, a civil rights attorney, to help them navigate the process.

In January 2014, less than two months after the shooting, Clark delivered some hopeful news: Then-1st Judicial District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco would present the case to a grand jury later that month.

“We thought, well, good, it’s going before a grand jury,” Teresa says in an emotional interview last week. “I thought, OK, this is going to be easy—they’re going to charge the officer. But it didn’t happen that way.”

In fact, it couldn’t have happened that way. And that’s by design.

Through a series of interviews and a review of the grand jury transcript, SFR and New Mexico In Depth are revealing for the first time the inner workings of the process that cleared Wilson and numerous officers before him of criminal wrongdoing in shootings. It is a system judges banned in Albuquerque for lack of impartiality and legally fragile underpinnings. It is a system that is used only for police shooting cases and only in two jurisdictions in New Mexico. It is a system that stumped a Columbia University law professor who specializes in police practices and criminal law.

It is a system that has confused lawyers, families of people shot by police and even grand jurors themselves. And it is a system that, after inquiries for this story, may not have a future in the capital city.

‘A FALLACY’ For at least the last 15 years, Santa Fe district attorneys have used “investigative grand juries” to review police shooting cases. Investigative grand juries have no targets, and they do not consider whether to charge someone with a crime. Also, state law clearly allows investigative grand juries in cases of institutions or public offices, but it’s an open question as to whether police shootings fit that standard.

The panels are rarely used in New Mexico, and they differ in several ways from tra-

CO URT ESY OF TER ESA AN AYA

ditional grand juries, which are used in criminal cases involving ordinary citizens. Traditional grand juries consider criminal charges and vote on whether to indict their targets. They nearly always issue indictments, according to numerous prosecutors interviewed for this story.

In short, the grand jury that heard evidence about Wilson’s shooting of Jeanette was powerless to charge the officer. Even if the 12 men and women on the panel wanted to issue an indictment, they couldn’t have.

Instead, Pacheco presented the grand jury with a single set of instructions—for justifiable homicide by a public officer. Then, after a seven-hour presentation on Jan. 14, 2014, she asked jurors whether Wilson was “justified” under New Mexico law in shooting Jeanette.

He was, the grand jury decided, after deliberating for 48 minutes.

Through a state police spokesman, Wilson declined to be interviewed for this story.

He is still on the state police force, according to Sgt. Chad Pierce, a department spokesman. Pierce says the agency conducts internal affairs investigations of all police shootings to determine whether an officer violated department policies. Those probes are separate from the criminal investigations, which are turned over to prosecutors. Pierce refused to comment on the internal affairs investigation into Wilson’s shooting of Jeanette. He would not say whether Wilson was disciplined or even whether the investigation is complete.

The Anayas did not know how the system worked until months after the grand jury ruled.

“I was blaming the grand jury for the longest time,” Teresa says. “Then we realized that the justice system is very corrupt. The justice system, they let us down.

They let us down. It was wrong. … It was never up to the grand jury. It was all up to the state police investigation and Angela Pacheco. I blame them, and I blame the system for allowing this to happen.”

Clark, the Anayas’ attorney, says the investigative grand jury system lacks teeth and produces no

results. Rather, it serves only to ratify a prosecutor’s decision. “It’s not a system that serves anybody, and that’s not a slam on law enforcement or prosecutors,” he says. “It’s about the structure.

This is not an adversarial process. It’s not designed as a fact-finding mission.

The idea of an investigative grand jury is a fallacy.”

Steve Allen, policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, says transparency and accountability have become particularly important as scrutiny of police shootings has increased around the country.

“With everything this country has been through with police shootings in the past few years, it is even more dubious to be using a process like this to determine whether a shooting was legal, or even constitutional,” Allen says.

Pacheco, a Democrat, was elected to two terms as 1st Judicial DA. Citing “family considerations,” she resigned in December, with one year

The idea of an investigative grand jury is a fallacy. left in her second term. In an interview last week, Pacheco says police shootings, including the Anaya case, had nothing to do with her resignation. Police differofficers “weren’t going to be treated any differ ently,” she says. “In this jurisdiction, I’m not exex actly cozy with the police.”

Pacheco defends her use of the grand juries in the Anaya case and in what she estimates to be six or seven others she presented during her time as DA, saying the involvement of 12 citiciti zens provided a check on her own conclusions about the shootings.

Cases fit two basic patterns, Pacheco says.

Most of them were clearly justified shootings, according to her analyses. In “a few of them,” shootthere were open questions about the shoot ing officers’ conduct. Pacheco would not say which category she believed best described Wilson’s shooting of Jeanette.

Had she encountered a case in which an officer clearly committed a crime by shootshoot ing someone, Pacheco says she would have sought an indictment from a traditional grand jury. That never happened.

Teresa says that should have occurred in her daughter’s case.

There’s no question that Jeanette broke several laws that night. Yet her family says the system fell down. Wil-

son “needed to be held accountable for what he did,” says Teresa.

Asked about Teresa’s criticism of the process used to clear Wilson, Pacheco pauses for several moments.

“I can understand her feeling that [the grand jury presentation] wasn’t a fair representation of what occurred,” she says. “There is not an efficient or good process in the state of New Mexico to deal with police shootings.”

‘WHAT ARE WE DOING?’ There is one similarity between traditional grand juries and the panels used to review police shooting cases in Santa Fe: Both are conducted in secret. No one who’s not part of the proceeding may attend. Transcripts and recordings are not made public.

But a 162-page transcript of the Anaya shooting presentation recently obtained from a source provides a glimpse into the way the unusual investigative grand jury worked.

Twelve people testified before the grand jury. Ten of them, including Wilson, were state police officers.

Jeremy Muñoz, who was riding with Jeanette the night of the shooting, testified. So did a Santa Fe police lieutenant. Pacheco’s presentation was built almost exclusively around the state police investigation.

Early testimony came from State Police Academy and use-of-force instructors. Among other points, she asked them to talk about “force science,” a highly controversial policing philosophy that teaches officers to act quickly in tense situations. Force science and its developer, psychology professor William Lewinski, have played a role in clearing hundreds of police officers around the country in use-of-force cases.

Grand jurors watched the video from Wilson’s dashboard camera and heard extensive testimony about the vehicle pursuit and the shooting.

Just after 1 am on Nov. 7, 2013, Wilson saw Jeanette turn right through a green light from Alta Vista Street CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

onto St. Francis Drive. He believed she had committed a traffic violation, although the video does not appear to show one. Pacheco has herself said publicly, and she reiterated in her interview with SFR and NMID, that there was no infraction, but she did not press Wilson on it in front of the grand jury.

Wilson turned on his emergency lights and began to follow Jeanette. She did not stop. Instead, she led the officer on a winding racecourse through neighborhood streets, clocking speeds as high as 87 mph.

Muñoz testified that Jeanette did not stop because she said she had a warrant for her arrest on a misdemeanor charge of concealing her identity.

The pursuit neared Jeanette’s intended destination: her parents’ home. As she turned onto Camino Carlos Rey, Wilson nudged her car with his to stop it.

What happened next is at the heart of the controversy over the shooting: What was Jeanette doing when Wilson began firing, and where was he standing at the time?

Wilson testified that he got out of his patrol car and walked toward Jeanette’s Honda. According to his testimony, she reversed toward him, and fearing for his safety, he began firing. She then began to drive away, and Wilson kept firing as he ran alongside the Honda, emptying his magazine. A few seconds later, the Honda crashed into a cinder block wall.

PETER ST. CYR

Former 1st Judicial District Attorney Angela Pacheco (above) left her elected position with more than a year left in her term, and Gov. Susana Martinez named Jennifer Padgett (below) to replace her.

Pacheco says New Mexico lacks “an efficient or good process to deal with police shootings.” Padgett says she anticipates taking a pending officer-shooting case to an investigative grand jury despite the process being banned in Albuquerque.

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

NEW MEXICO STATE POLICE

State police won’t talk about their own internal investigation into Officer Oliver Wilson’s conduct in the shooting.

about the shooting repeated Wilson’s story.

Muñoz described the sequence differently. He said Jeanette backed into Wilson’s police car in an attempt to position her vehicle for an escape. The officer did not begin firing until Jeanette was driving away from him, he told the grand jury.

Some of the action takes place outside the frame of Wilson’s dashboard camera, so it is difficult to tell exactly what happened. But the audio and the video—taken together with a bullet trajectory report prepared by the state police—appear to more closely support Muñoz’s story, not Wilson’s, according to an analysis by SFR and NMID. Citing established case law, Pacheco says in the interview that Wilson’s perception in a rapidly unfolding situation was most important. “He is trained to stop the action,” she says. Asked why she did not challenge Wilson on the witness stand, Pacheco says prosecutors are supposed to remain neutral in grand jury proceedings. “I couldn’t get adversarial with the witnesses,” she says. “It is up to the grand jury to determine the credibility of witnesses. We don’t give them any signals. … Nothing is ever done to manipulate the grand jury.”

Pacheco didn’t apply the “signal-free” standard to all the evidence and testimony. She made sure jurors heard that Jeanette had cocaine in her system, a fact Pacheco prised from one of the state police investigators during her presentation. The investigator testified that a toxicology report showed 0.08 milligrams per liter of the substance in Jeanette’s blood. One of the grand jurors pushed for context: What did that mean? Pacheco cut off the investigator’s answer and said she didn’t know.

In an interview with SFR and NMID, Dr. Harry A Milman, consulting toxicologist and president of ToxNetwork.com, characterized the amount of cocaine in Jeanette’s system as “small.” Milman said it wasn’t enough to make any characterizations about Jeanette’s behavior the night of the shooting, when she took the cocaine or how frequently she used the drug.

Despite her later comments about remaining neutral in grand jury presentations, Pacheco pressed Muñoz in the grand jury room. She challenged his version on multiple occasions. At one point, she asked him whether it was possible that Wilson began firing while Jeanette was driving toward the officer in reverse.

Muñoz said it was not. After his testimony, Pacheco told him to wait in the hallway for her.

In an interview, Pacheco says she does not remember what the two discussed in the hallway. She recalls pressing him during his testimony because “he had been lying about something.” She says she couldn’t remember what it was. Muñoz was not charged with perjury.

The prosecutor’s control over the process was evident in other instances, too. She stopped a state police investigator from talking about where Wilson was standing when he fired the shots, and she would not discuss it with grand jurors herself. In another instance, Pacheco halted a conversation among grand jurors about the video, which they had just watched for a second time.

One grand juror expressed confusion about the purpose of the proceeding. About midway through, he reminded Pacheco that for every other presentation

he’d seen as a grand juror, there had been a target.

“There is no target,” the DA responded.

“What are we doing?” the grand juror asked.

“You’re going to hear evidence as to whether or not it was a justifiable homicide by an officer. All you do is ‘yes’ or ‘no,’” she said, adding that she was bringing the case to the panel “because if I were to just do it on my own and not bring it to you, people would think I’m trying to cover something up.”

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

‘THAT’S CRAZY’ The grand jury ruled that Wilson’s shooting was justified. Only two investigative grand juries have reached a different conclusion in the history of their use in Santa Fe, officials say. Those “unjustified” cases involved former Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Deputy Shawn Beck in 2003 and Santa Fe police officers John DeBaca and Stephen Fonte in 2014. Yet, none of the three officers was charged with criminal wrongdoing.

“What’s the point, really?” asks Clark, the Anayas’ attorney. He also represents the man who survived the shooting by DeBaca and Fonte in a potential civil case. “If a shooting is not justified, there needs to be some recourse.”

Prosecutors in Albuquerque used investigative grand juries in police shooting cases for more than 20 years. A series of news stories about the process prompted judges to suspend its use indefinitely. The judges cited the appearance that prosecutors weren’t impartial in the presentations and said the district attorney’s office had no legal authority to conduct them.

Outgoing Bernalillo County DA Kari Brandenburg now decides in-house whether officers acted within the law in shooting cases. She posts investigative case files and a findings letter on her website.

Most district attorneys in New Mexico either review police shooting cases themselves or automatically appoint a special prosecutor. Only the 1st and 12th districts use the investigative grand juries.

Jeffrey A Fagan, a Columbia University Law School professor, studied the use of grand juries for policerelated deaths in New York and reviewed the prosecutor’s grand jury presentation for the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Mo. “In most places, whether the grand jury is investigative or not, they can still issue a bill of indictment,” Fagan says, adding that there haven’t been many

scholarly articles written on the issue.

“Relative to what we learned in New York, though, and the review in Ferguson, [the Santa Fe process] is very unusual. I’ve never heard of a process like the one you’re describing. That’s crazy.”

Gov. Susana Martinez appointed Jennifer Padgett in December to finish out Pacheco’s term as DA for Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Rio Arriba counties. Now, she has a decision to make with Santa Fe police officers’ Jan. 27 shooting of Herman Flores, who authorities say exchanged gunfire with officers after robbing a store.

Padgett says in an interview that she anticipates taking the case to an investigative grand jury, “because it has been common practice.”

But investigative grand juries may not have a future in Padgett’s administration. She says she plans to examine practices around the country—including what took place in Albuquerque—to come up with something that “balances transparency, the community’s interests and preserving and protecting the interests of law enforcement.”

Teresa is still pushing.

“Nothing will ever bring my daughter back,” she says. “She had such a big heart. She had so many friends, including friends in law enforcement. We’re not giving up. We will continue to fight for her, for justice.”

In 2014, Teresa met with federal prosecutors at the US Attorney’s Office to ask them to prosecute the cop who killed Jeanette. The prosecutors declined after reviewing the case.

She didn’t stop there, and more recently, she has found a new piece of hope. State Attorney General Hector Balderas has personally promised her his office will investigate the shooting. Teresa says a Balderas staffer told her again in December that Jeanette’s death is under review.

James Hallinan, a Balderas spokesman, would not confirm or deny an investigation of the shooting. But in an email, he said Balderas’ office “is aware of Ms. Anaya’s concerns and has stated that we will review matters related to the proper procedure for examining officer involved shootings.”

Those reviews would be a welcomed step for Teresa, who, more than two years after the shooting, still struggles to maintain her composure when talking about her daughter. At the time of the shooting, Jeanette had been living with her parents and enjoyed playing with her brothers’ children and planting red poppies with her mother.

Whatever happens next, Teresa hopes investigative grand juries will never be used in police shooting cases again.

“That’s where the system let us down, and I hope no one ever has to go through what we did,” she says.

“Some days are OK, and some days I totally fall apart.

I don’t know how it can possibly get better, really. I’ll live with a broken heart the rest of my life.”

This story was a joint effort between SFR and New Mexico In Depth as part of Jeff Proctor’s “Justice Project.”

Teresa Anaya is still pushing for criminal charges against the officer who shot and killed her daughter.

ZOMBIE SAVIORS LOVE CANDY There’s no better way to have a good old-fashioned time with the kids than watching them hunt for eggs that were hidden by a giant mascot rabbit. Rabbits don’t lay eggs, nor are they able to found and run world-renowned chocolateries, but there we have it. On Easter Sunday, you and your little ones can hunt for eggs and win prizes at the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. “The eggs will be hidden throughout the garden, and most of it will take place in our orchard,” says Sarah Spearman, the garden’s director of public affairs.

The orchard is a grassy area, and good thing too.

MUSIC

Seeing Double

Two bands enter, well, two bands leave Andaluz. This is pretty much where the similarities between the two end.

Kodama Trio’s piano-driven sounds may be easily labeled as jazz on the surface, and there are absolute influences from the arguably quintessential American music. Bleich and his bandmates take the building blocks and distort the familiar through improv and experimentation. The end product is all at once comfortable and a learning opportunity. In Trio Andaluz, however, there is an Arabic-based world music sound (think authentic folk rather than the Starbuck’s counter take on international music) that may not fall into a style you know well, but that is nonetheless accessible and beautiful.

And while the show may not be for everyone, there is undoubtedly a lot to learn by giving the show a chance.

“I like to think what will happen will be engaging and deep and new,” Bleich says. “I’d love to get people to listen.”

There’s a giant obelisk that may or may not have been placed by extraterrestrial beings inside the James Kelly Contemporary. It’s possible, if local artist Tom Miller is an alien. Juxtaposed against it are a series of drawings and paintings that coalesce into a grander theme. “If we didn’t have the 22-foot-long piece, the works of art hanging on the wall can stand on their own, but when you look at them in context, it’ll all make sense.

They all relate to each other very directly,” says gallery owner James Kelly. If this obelisk holds the secrets to interstellar travel, we really can’t lose.

ONGOING DREAM A LITTLE DREAM The dream state is itself a bizarrely distorted and fluid space wherein our unrealized desires and unresolved emotions are played out through our subconscious, in fascinating ways. It’s in this ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere that City of Mud’s Under See shines. A collection of photos, paintings, video, sculpture and more, the group exhibit searches out that which is weird in order to differentiate itself from the humdrum normalcy of mainstream local art and artists.

“We were going for a more immersive show this time,” artist/curator Sasha Pyle says. “We have such a weird, cool collection of art, and that’s what we’re trying to do every time.” (ADV)

COURTESY CITY OF MUD

There are forms of music that take influence from well-known genre conventions but go beyond simple composition or audio experience to become awesome forces of challenging yet beautiful art. By shirking widely accepted structures in favor of experimental or improvisational elements, the composers of these pieces are allowed a sort of musical freedom that lets them create music that is for listening. This may sound applicable to all styles, but when it comes to Kodama Trio and Trio Andaluz, there’s more going on under the hood than one might realize at first, which can be discovered by paying very close attention at their dual CD release show this Friday, March 26, at SFUAD’s O’Shaughnessy Performance Space.

“It’s hard to bring people in on the idea that this will be good, interesting music and not something sentimental or something they already know,” says Jeremy Bleich, musician and owner of Grasshopper Music, the local imprint releasing the albums. “This is a bit of an experiment, but I’m proud of the work that Grasshopper is doing.”

Bleich performs in both bands, as bassist for Kodama Trio (pictured above) and as the oud player for Trio

Knife to See You Ol’ Dagger sharpens their blades

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

I

was going to say all this stuff about DJs vs. bands, and how it’s rad that The Underground’s focus on providing the bulk of their entertainment in people-actually-playing-instruments form but … oh wait, that is what I just said. Aw, but it’s true, God bless ’em. This column isn’t about The Underground per se (though you’ll see later that it’s about a show going down there), it’s about a band in Santa Fe that, while new, is giving me the kind of shivers I used to feel in the old days before the weight of the world crushed my spirit and the bands of this town killed my ability to feel joy through music. Enter Ol’ Dagger, a five-piece combo born within the primordial ooze of the Southside’s premier DIY metal warehouse, The Cave, and of a five-way shared love of that all-important yet oft-forgotten building block that still exists at the core of all the ridiculously subgenrefied bullshit and behind every jerk-ass frontman/woman who says things like, “We don’t really like to label ourselves rock ’n’ roll.”

It’s so much more than that. Like an unholy union between the driving force of Motörhead and the thrashy stoner insanity of Mind Eraser’s brutal 2006 power violence epic, Glacial Reign, Ol’ Dagger plants one foot firmly in the land of metal—y’know, back before it was nonstop “jud-jud-jud” sounds—and the other someplace along the punk rock timeline between seminal hit-makers like the Dead Kennedys and ’80s hardcore acts such as Sick of It All. But the rock mandate still emanates from within everything they do.

“We’re bringing this feeling where everything and anything is open, and I think people will be interested to see what we’re doing,” singer Dave AhernSeronde says. You probably recall Ahern-Seronde from the likes of local metal acts Obelisk and the tragically short-lived Yar. “It’s rock ’n’ roll, it’s punk rock, but we’re still obviously very metal influenced, and there’s never been a line in between it for us; it’s all punk rock to us.”

If you’re wondering if you’ve wandered down the wrong alley, don’t. These gents have a box of Samoas with your name on them.

This is indeed an excellent attitude and a philosophy that has perhaps led the way for many of the more hard-rockin’ acts in town, ever since Logical Nonsense taught us all to love, but that had seemingly been hibernating in wait for a perfect moment to reappear. At Ol’ Dagger’s very first show a few weeks ago (also at The Underground), the band captivated everyone with their amalgam of fast-paced shred and monumentally heavy breakdowns. There wasn’t a head un-bobbed in that room, and with band mates culled from the aforementioned Yar or Insight or even the gone-but-not-forgotten straight punk antics of Dirty Money, it was almost as if everything was in its right place again and a small but very important piece of Santa Fe’s rock history had been revived, or at least recalled.

“Everyone [in the band] was on the same page, so it moved along super-quickly,” drummer Ben Brodsky says. A veritable icon within the scene since back before most of us can remember, Brodsky provides more to Ol’ Dagger than simple rhythm; he’s basically the soul. “This is all brand-new music, and we do well playing off each other, and we don’t ever want it to seem stale.”

If their debut EP, Bobcat Dynamite (which can be heard at oldagger.bandcamp.com), is any indication, that won’t happen anytime soon. A monstrous seven-track release recorded live in a mere 10 hours, Dynamite not only showcases Ol’ Dagger’s ability to pay homage to those who paved the way, it is a tightly produced set of songs that are the very definition of musical growth. If Yar was the concept, Ol’ Dagger is the product, and one made better by ditching notions of what genres need to be in favor of having fun and writing music that feels good.

To their credit, Ol’ Dagger plans to record again soon as well as hit the road, but they are keeping local appearances to a minimum. This is why it’s so important to see ’em on April 26 alongside Santa Fe-ish punk act The Elected Officials, local metal up-andcomers Dysphotic and Pueblo, Colo.’s Baptized in Sin. OL’ DAGGER, THE ELECTED OFFICIALS, DYSPHOTIC, BAPTIZED IN SIN: 9 pm Saturday, March 26. $5. The Underground, 200 W San Francisco St. 819-1597

THE CALENDAR ing “abnormal appetite or liking for.” But these days, I’d say you were suffering from a bad case of “trumpophilia.”

I’m a 24-year-old male, married three years, monogamous. My wife and I are religious and were both virgins when we got married.

I’m sexually frustrated with two things. (1) How can I get her to give me oral sex? (She has never given and I have never received oral sex. I regularly give her oral sex.) She is afraid to try it, saying she’s not ready yet.

About every six months, I bring it up and it leads to a fight. She is a germophobe, but I think she believes fellatio is done only in porn. (I used to look at porn, which nearly ended our then-dating relationship.) (2) I feel like I’m always giving and never receiving any type of affection: massages, kisses, caresses, you name it. It’s like having sex with a sex doll—no reciprocation. How do I broaden our sex life without making her feel like we’re in a porno?

-Sexually Frustrated If you don’t already have children—you don’t mention kids—please don’t have any, SF, at least not with your first wife.

You’re a religious person, SF, a lifestyle choice I don’t fully understand. But you’re also a sexual person, and that I do understand.

And if you want a lifelong, sexually exclusive, and sexually fulfilling relationship, then you must prioritize sexual compatibility during your search for the second Mrs. SF. Because your next marriage is likelier to survive for the long haul if you’re partnered with someone who is attracted to you physically and is aroused—roughly speaking—by the same sex acts, positions, and fantasies you are.

In other words: Don’t marry someone and hope she likes sucking your dick. You tried that, and it didn’t work. Find someone who likes sucking your dick and marry her.

I’m a straight woman in my early 30s, and I just don’t like receiving oral sex. I love giving blowjobs and can orgasm from PIV sex, but I seem to be one of the few women who don’t enjoy guys going down on me. I’m not uncomfortable with it, but it doesn’t get me off. I also get wet easily, so it’s not like I need it as foreplay. As I’ve gotten older, and the guys I sleep with have gotten older, it seems like most want to spend a great deal of time down there. I’ve tried being up front about not liking it in general, but guys either get offended or double down and do it more because they assume I’ve never been with a guy who “could do it right.” Any ideas on how to handle this?

-Needs Oral Preference Explainer The observation you make regarding older straight guys—older straight guys are more enthusiastic about going down on women— is something I’ve heard from other female friends. They couldn’t get guys to go down on them in their 20s, and they can’t get guys in their 30s and 40s to stop going down on them. (SF, above, is clearly an outlier.) The obvious solution to your dilemma, NOPE: Only fuck guys in their 20s.

Fan from Sweden here! Question: My fetish has no name. It is a “worshipping” fetish, for want of a better term, where I am the one being worshipped. Not by one man, but all men of the earth. The worshipping itself, while sexual, is not bound to my body parts.

It would be great to have this named.

-Lack Of Vocabulary Enervates My Experiences A year ago, I would’ve diagnosed you with “caligulaphilia,” LOVEME, after the Roman emperor Caligula, who considered himself a living god, and -philia, the go-to suffix mean-

I’m a 24-year-old female who met my 26-year-old boyfriend five months ago through Fetlife. We do not share the same fetish, but we have other overlapping interests and he is lovely, smart, and funny. He has a diaper and incontinence fetish. Not my jam, but I’m GGG. The issue: He has the most one-dimensional sexuality I have ever seen. He can get off only in the missionary position, with a diaper under us, and with incontinence dirty talk. Even with all of the above, its difficult to get him to orgasm.

And it’s only very recently that we’ve been able to have penetrative sex—since he was used to getting off with his hand and a diaper—always with diapers under us and with lots and lots and lots of pee talk. But there’s only so long I can talk about losing control and peeing myself before I lose interest in the activities at hand. I do not mind getting him off this way sometimes, but this does absolutely nada for me and it’s the only way he gets off. He’s otherwise an amazing person, but I’m getting frustrated. We’ve talked about how my needs aren’t being met, and he claims he’s done standard vanilla before and managed to satisfy his partners. I’ve yet to experience it myself, however, and I’d really like to be able to enjoy some vanilla sex—let alone my kinks!—with him!

-Please, I’m Sexually Saddened Your lovely, smart boyfriend is a lousy, selfish lay, PISS, and you two aren’t sexually compatible. DTMFA. I am a 26-year-old guy and I have an overwhelming foot fetish. I cannot help but think about the male foot every hour of every day.

I often find myself pushing boundaries with attractive male friends and acquaintances to satisfy my urges, which has caused me a lot of stress and anxiety. I’m obsessed with the idea of offering some of my friends and acquaintances foot massages, but I just don’t know how to bring up the subject, given my mixed experiences. A lot of people think of foot rubs as intimate and believe they should be restricted to romantic relationships. While I’ve been lucky on very random occasions, I’ve had some fuckups. I asked a gay friend whether he would like a foot massage, but he declined—and while he was polite about it in the initial exchange, he has since ignored me. I asked a straight guy, and he considered it but never followed through, and I feel weird about asking him again. I told another straight guy who was shocked that I would ever ask him such a thing, but he still talks to me and makes light of the incident.

Whereas another guy unfriended me on Facebook after I messaged him and told him I liked his feet. What should I do? Is there a proper way to ask to rub someone’s feet? It’s not like I’m asking to suck on people’s toes.

-Crazed About Lads’ Feet You remind me of those straight guys who send unsolicited dick pics to women they barely know—they don’t do it because it never works, they do it because it works on rare/random occasions. But you have to ask yourself if those rare/random instances when an attractive male friend allowed you to perv on their feet—the handful of times you’ve gotten a yes—are worth the sacrificing of all the friendships you’ve lost.

Foot rubs are a form of intimacy, particularly when performed by foot fetishists, and you’ve gotta stop pestering your hot friends about their feet. There are tons of other foot fetishists out there—most male, loads gay, tons online. Go find some fellow foot pervs and swap rubs with them.

RAILYARD URGENT CARE

Who the hell is William Rodgers? One of the writers of the narrative attached to art collective Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return (1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369), that’s who.

Rodgers, along with a team of five others, created the mysterious story of the Pastores, the family whose house y’all will explore should you check out the installation. And since MW is the hot topic these days, we figured we’d throw some Qs his way. (Alex De Vore) Without spoilers, can you give us a broad idea of the story?

The family is gifted with supernatural powers of creation, [and] the chaotic energy inside their home builds up and breaks the universe. What you see when you walk around the the exhibition are the physical manifestations of the characters’ thoughts, memories and dreams.

Is there anything in particular you think people should be on the lookout for when they’re checking out the house?

Something happened in the dining room. It was so powerful that it melted the chandelier and warped the bathroom on the second floor. There’s a residual sonic energy floating around the room that causes the lights to flicker and the table to shake.

How does that narrative fit into the overall experience, and what advice would you give to exhibitgoers to get the most out of that?

We wanted to show that the different installations in the exhibit all share a common origin and are unified conceptually. Our goal was to create a sense of depth, to show that each installation casts a long shadow in the lives of our characters. The exhibition is maxamalist, and story is a way to enhance that because we’re taking up mental real estate in the minds of our audience.

You’re walking around a novel, and story is everywhere.

It can be either in a character’s journal, on the television, stuffed in a drawer or hidden in the wallpaper.

Even the books lining a character’s shelf are there for a reason.

Whole Hog Café keeps it saucy, and mostly juicy

B Y R O B D e WA LT @ Th e Fo r k S a n t a Fe

S

anta Fe isn’t exactly known as an international barbecue destination, but it still offers a few dedicated options to get your smoked meats and traditional sides on. There’s The Ranch House on the Southside, Cowgirl BBQ, and a few restaurants that offer a special barbecue dish or two. But no entity in town is more dedicated to the craft of ’cue than the Whole Hog Café (320 S. Guadalupe St., 474-3375).

With locations in New Jersey, Missouri, Arkansas, Santa Fe and Albuquerque, Whole Hog is synonymous with championship barbecue. A 2002 first-place win at the Memphis in May World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest (plus other honorable standings in 2000 and 2008) and too many Arkansas Times reader’s choice first-place awards to mention here attest to the business ownership’s love of this particularly low-and-slow (and tricky) culinary art. Arkansas is Whole Hog’s home state, sothey know a little something about BBQ. Business is good—So good in fact, that the owners have plans to eventually open an outlet in the now-defunct Gravy restaurant space in Albuquerque.

The décor at the Santa Fe location is heavy on brick arches and vintage prints of folks picnicking on, one supposes, some delicious meaty goodness.

Guests peruse the menu written on a large chalkboard and place their orders at the counter in the main dining room, and the food is the brought to their table by the friendly staff. A roll of paper towels sits on the table, and trust me, you’re going to need a bunch of them. Fountain drinks, eating utensils and to-go containers are fetch-them-yourself in an adjoining dining room.

A small selection of wines and domestic and imported beers is available, should you choose to have a tipple with your brisket.

I always go for the Whole Hog Platter ($22.90), which is plenty of food for two people looking for variety but not an enormous chowdown. The platter contains a generous pile of smoked pulled pork, an equally bountiful heap of smoked beef

Bibs and moist towelettes are for chumps. We’ve got our BBQ jumpsuits on.

brisket, three baby back ribs, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw and a dinner roll.

The traditional country potato salad is chunkycreamy and well seasoned, with just the right amount of doneness to the potato chunks. The creamy slaw is a tad sweet for my taste, but it’s a good excuse if you want to say you ate your veggies. The beans are standard baked-bean flavored: some tomato and a little sweetener. A dinner roll or white bread is a must for any respectable BBQ joint (for making sandwiches and soppin’ up the good stuff ), and Whole Hog’s are fluffy, served warm.

The café offers up six housemade sauces at the table: a semisweet, molasses-infused variety and a sweeter one using the same basic ingredients; a traditional tangy tomato-vinegar sauce and a slightly

spicier version of it; traditional vinegar and spice; and my favorite for pulled pork, a popular Southern mustard-and-vinegar concoction. If you’re feeling invincible, go for the “volcano” sauce, available only upon request. These sauces are so popular, they’re available to purchase by the six-pack at the counter ($29.95). All the sauces are worth trying, although as a brisket purist and Texas-born meat snob, I stick to nothing on the beef or just a little of the tomatovinegar sauce.

The shaved beef brisket is super-tender and well smoked, not over-the-top, but aromatic nonetheless.

The slow-cooked pulled pork is a thing of beauty: pink from the long smoking time, a little greasy, extra tender and modestly seasoned. I taste it naked before slathering on the mustard-vinegar sauce, and the troubles of the day melt away. It’s those darned baby back ribs that give us some trouble. They come out pre-slathered in sticky-sweet barbecue sauce, which makes separating them from each other feel a bit like finger painting on a skeleton. The ribs are unfortunately not fall-off-the-bone tender. In fact, they’re not tender at all. The meat has to be cut from the bone and sliced into small bites to avoid chewing on its tendon-like texture.

Whole Hog Café does many things well, atmofrom the sauces to the service and atmo sphere to that heavenly brisket and pulled pork. But those baby backs could use some extra love from the championship-winning team.

WHOLE HOG CAFÉ Open: 11:00 am-8:00 pm daily Best Bet: Beef brisket Don’t Miss: Pulled pork and those addictive sauces

JOY GODFREY

Dr. Field Goods f you want to be daring and try some goat meat for the first time in the history of your palate, then head to Dr. Field Goods Kitchen and wash it down with some housemade habanero that’s got a little honey in it. That should do the trick. And if you’re one who likes a spicy sandwich, then that’s even more of a reason to give the goat torta ($15.50) a whirl. The habanero has just enough kick to override the strong goat meat, and the goat cheese itself makes this rank among the more unique sandwiches around town. This kitchen, located in a nondescript strip mall anchored by a Big 5 Sporting Goods, is anything but nondescript. The inside has all the feeling of a micro-brewery, and just about everything to come out of the kitchen is specially crafted, including the soda drinks.

Like the orange cream soda ($4.25), with fresh squeezed orange, simple syrup and soda water.

The only thing perhaps lacking in this entire lunch were the potato fries. They weren’t bad, but they were up against some hard competition. (Thomas Ragan) 2860 Cerrillos Road, Ste. A1, 471-0043 Lunch and dinner daily drfieldgoods.com

READINGS & CONVERSATIONS

brings to Santa Fe a wide range of writers from the literary world of fiction, nonfiction and poetry to read from and discuss their work.

KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD with

Zadie Smith

WEDNESDAY 27 APRIL AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Karl Ove Knausgaard is a Norwegian author whose books include A Time for Everything and Out of This World as well as his six-volume, 3,600-page autobiographical novel, My Struggle. Dubbed “a Norwegian Marcel Proust,” Knausgaard begins his story in Book One almost ten years after his father has drunk himself to death.

Reflecting on this time while embarking on a new novel, the narrator breaks down his own life story to its most elemental occurrences. Long passages reflecting on art, literature and music are interspersed with everyday details in the life of an ordinary Scandinavian.

Translated into English by Don Bartlett, Books Two through Four (with translations of Five and Six forthcoming) continue Knausgaard’s epic, with deep introspection on love, family, friends, childhood, and coming of age.

Reflecting on the history of notions of life and death, Knausgaard asks, “What was man on this earth other than an insect among other insects, a life-form among other life-forms, which might just as well take the form of algae in a lake or fungi on the forest floor, roe in a fish’s stomach, rats in a nest or a cluster of mussels on a reef?”

Cinema-Constrictor One of the few movies filmed in the Amazon is rad by ben kendall culture@sfreporter.com

The bloody history of rubber exploitation and colonization in the Amazon is brought into stark relief in writer/director Ciro Guerra’s new film, Embrace of the Serpent. During this era, the rubber boom was in full effect and (with modern eyes) a large-scale humanitarian and ecological disaster. Western Europe spared no perversion in stripping the land of rubber, gold and other resources. Period explorer Percy Harri-

son Fawcett (who would disappear with his son and his friend in the Amazon in 1925) referred to the South and Central American jungle as “a green hell.” It was a lawless time, rife with abuses and atrocities of nearly every flavor; man was just as dangerous as the suffocating canopy. Amid the pursuit of riches and survival, men lost their lives as well as their identity, and this is the crux of the film from the remarkably fresh perspective of an Indigenous person, Karamakate, “the mover of worlds” and the last of his people.

SCORE CARD

digenous to Peru and Colombia, and that horrible reality translates through to his character.

Shot almost entirely in black and white (aside from one moment toward the end), the colors of the jungle become lost in a sea of textured background and “busy” overgrown set pieces. Thematically, it points to a loss of self, living in a world that had become devoid of meaning or purpose.

Embrace of the Serpent proceeds at a sedentary pace. But even the timing serves the theme of the narrative, as it slowly cooks the story in such a way that you almost feel yourself lost in it, in a sense, becoming your own chullachaqui. This may or may not be a good thing, and it might not be appropriate for a theatergoing public that is used to trite characterizations or easily consumed narratives. Yet this film does not disappoint. Serpent has collected a bunch of accolades from all over the world, including Sundance and Cannes, and there’s a good reason for that. It’s a cerebral tour de force that may even force you to look at your own inability to “dream.”

The plot has a nonlinear focus, moving between a time near 1907 and an undefined point in the future (somewhere around WWII), through the experiences of two explorers who seek cures to their respective ailments. One is terminally ill, and the other cannot dream; juxtaposed against the younger Karamakate’s anger at his tribe’s destruction by Europeans and the elder Karamakate’s inability to remember his cultural identity, the primary character’s motivations mirror each other.

Karamakate the elder’s fear is that he has become a chullachaqui, which refers to a supernatural doppelganger, but in his case, a husk of a person with a hollow core. Serpent has an almost Conrad-esqe/Apocalypse Now vibe.

The two plot threads travel down the same river for different goals and illuminate at once the wholesale destruction of the jungle and the psychological toll it exacts on everyone involved; events that take place in the past timeline at a jungle abbey and school for native orphan boys foresee a haunting resolution in the future.

Nilbio Torres turns in a remarkable performance as the young Karamakate.

With a physique that’s “sculpted by the hardships of the jungle,” he portrays a young warrior-shaman who still has a hint of the petulance and impatience of youth. Antonio Bolívar Salvador’s older, wiser and more jaded Karamakate is masterful. Salvador is one of the last survivors of the Ocaina people, in-

ZOOTOPIA “if nothing else we can all be reminded that we need help from time to time”

THE BRONZE

There’s a general guideline in screenwriting that’s known as the “save the cat” moment.

It’s a scene where the audience gets to somehow connect with the main character (or villain, if you’re being creative) on a personal level. It’s meant to give the characters a moment of softness to enable viewers to connect on a deeper level. This makes the theater-goer want to continue to watch the movie. This guideline is even more important when the main character is a criminal or reprobate. To be clear, it isn’t used all the time, and it isn’t appropriate in every film—there’s no “save the cat” moment in the beginning of Pulp Fiction, for instance (Sam Jackson makes us want to watch, since he’s so badass), but this moment does exist in The Bronze. It fails.

Miserably. So does the rest of the movie.

The main character is Hope Annabelle Gregory, an Olympic gymnast (Melissa Rauch) who medaled with a bronze in 2004; she’s past her prime after a catastrophic injury and still living with her father as an adult. She’s entitled, crude and morally empty. It’s supposed to be a comedy, but every line of dialogue that comes out of her mouth is so remarkably crass and without comedic merit that it’s cringe worthy.

To be clear, Rauch plays the character with aplomb. Gregory is reminiscent of Kenny Powers from Eastbound and Down,

but somehow it doesn’t come off as funny.

She’s such an awful person to the people who care for and, in some cases, venerate her, that you can’t help but not feel sorry for her, nor is it easy to watch her for almost two hours. After about 40 minutes, the urge to leave the film was strong. She’s simply not likable nor relatable, and she’s in nearly every scene. Gary Cole (Lumberg from Office Space) plays Gregory’s father and his portrayal as a doting parent who somehow continues to try his best despite living under the tyranny of his daughter is great.

The villain, if there is one, is an old fling and head coach of the US Women’s Gymnastic team, Lance Tucker (Sebastian Stan). However, it never felt like there was any room for his antagonism, as the main character was her own worst enemy. If he wasn’t in the film at all, it would have been hardly noticeable. He’s there to provide some impetus to her Gregory’s actions, but those motivations seem quite contrived and flat.

Thomas Middleditch is twitchy and well-meaning Ben Lawford, a character who provides a love interest that’s completely inexplicable. He can be summed up as, “Hey, I know you berate me and call me names and are an awful person to me all the time, do you wanna go out?” The very notion that he would be interested in her, or that she would say yes, completely destroys the tenuous suspension of disbelief. Make

no mistake, the performances are solid. But they cannot save the film’s awful writing and characterizations.

The base of the film was shoddy and needed a more critical eye—the script.

With a main character that’s so completely rotten to the core and whose plot arc peters out before any kind of satisfying resolution makes this film almost unwatchable. (BK) Regal, R, 108 min.

ONLY YESTERDAY

Hidden beneath the layers of your adult-self, obscured in the forest of past experiences and your relationship with your family, lies perhaps the more real part of yourself.

Maybe this version of you is 10 years old and walks alongside, not directly influencing your actions or speaking to you, but a distant reminder that you’re the sum of your history plus unfulfilled desires. That’s the gist of the film Only Yesterday, produced

by Hayao Miyazaki in 1991. It was never released in the US, and with the success of The Tale of the Princess Kaguya last year, Studio Ghibli decided to record an English dialogue track and send it to Western audiences.

The main character is Taeko Okajima (voiced by Daisy Ridley), a single woman with a “good job in Tokyo.” She travels out to the country to pick flowers historically used for rouge by aristocrats during Japan’s feudal era. The process is slow, painstaking CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Taeko’s perception is split between memories of her childhood when she was 10 years old and her current experience in the countryside. During the childhood moments, she’s back with her family in Tokyo, where she grew up, nearly reliving that portion of her life wherein the disappointments and difficulties in being a small girl in mid-sixties Japan are in sharp contrast to the pastoral idealism that she’s partaking in as an adult.

The crux of the film forms around the notion that the dreams and wounds of youth influence who we are (duh), but more than that, they inform how we see ourselves, how we engage in our own personal dialogue. Taeko begins to question what it is to be happy and successful.

Only Yesterday is a touching love letter to the era of youthful idealism and the regrets of adulthood. It’s challenging not to be struck down to your core when watching it.

The pacing is a remarkably slow burn, especially when compared to more modern US studio system flicks. The runtime is a bit long for what the movie is, and it’s a difficult slog at times to push your way through. Yet, it’s well worth the effort to keep your butt in the seat and make it past the first half.

The handdrawn animation is simply beautiful. Every cell is colored with extreme care, and it shows. This is par for the course for any Miyazaki film, and Only Yesterday does not disappoint. You could level the criticism that the animation isn’t used to its potential. Indeed, this could be a standard motion picture with living, breathing actors on screen instead of cartoon characters, so why animate at all? However, there’s a subtlety in the color and character design that couldn’t be done easily with real sets and people. The animation captures your attention, where it might otherwise run astray.

Overall, the latest foray by Studio Ghibli (for Americans) can be hit-or-miss. It’s really not the most exciting or powerful movie you’ll ever see, but if you’re lucky, you might just learn a little something about yourself after you leave the theater. (BK) CCA, PG, 118 min.

10 CLOVERFIELD LANE

What begins on a rather Hitchcockian level quickly devolves into a mildly enjoyable tangle of run-of-the-mill jump scares, so-so performances and unresolved plot lines in 10 Cloverfield Lane, a spiritual successor (sort of) to 2008 shaky-cam monster flick, Cloverfield. In Lane, we join the emotionally unstable Michelle (Scott Pilgrim’s Mary Elizabeth Winstead) as she flees from her boyfriend into the Louisiana

back country, for some reason. She drives in jarring silence along a two-lane highway until you’re pretty sure this damn movie is never going to start, which is conveniently when she gets into a terrible car wreck. She awakens some unknowable amount of time later, injured and chained to a wall in the subterranean fallout bunker of conspiracy theorist/former military man/complete fucking nut-job Howard (played by the always excellent John Goodman).

Michelle is told that America has suffered an attack from unknown entities and the air aboveground is contaminated. As luck would have it, though, Howard has been preparing for the apocalypse forever, with the help of a young townie named Emmett (John Gallagher Jr. of HBO’s The Newsroom), who is also stuck in there with them. It’s a horrifying concept on its own, made worse by how Michelle has little choice but to believe the clearly unhinged Howard, no matter how difficult it is to trust a guy who chained you to the damn wall. The more she grapples with whether the attack really occurred or not, the more we feel her frustration.

Goodman brilliantly rides the line between prepared survivalist, father-like caretaker, unhinged madman and, in creepier moments, prideful pseudo-savior. Subtle smiles grace his face, as if to announce he’s almost glad for the attack, as it proves he was right to build the bunker all along. And though he operates in bizarre and unpredictable ways, Michelle and Emmett come to almost begrudgingly trust and care for him in return.

Of course, the underlying fear that he might just be lying never leaves us, and whereas this could have been used to great effect, had Lane spent even a few minutes longer focusing on actual character development rather than spooky rumblings and pointless, “Oh wow, you also have painful memories?” exchanges, it might have paid off in a big way. Instead, we are left with a tacked-on ending that feels like an afterthought, questions that are brought up and never really answered and a couple of young actors who on their best day couldn’t live up to Goodman’s skills. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 103 min.

ZOOTOPIA

Not everyone is enamored with the saccharinesweet films from the admittedly fine folks at Pixar, and not everyone loves CGI-produced animated films the way they love good oldfashioned cell animation. Still, it would be hard to deny that the field has come light-years since Toy Story unleashed its truly terrifying concept

MOVIES

ok Sometimes it feels like your childhood was Only Yesterday. on the world, and every so often a sincerely special animated movie comes along. Zootopia is one of those. A genuinely clever take on very adult topics like race relations, sexism, strained relationships and the corrupting nature of power, the newest outing from Walt Disney Animation Studios is not only a triumph in terms of storytelling for kids and parents simultaneously (which is actually much harder than you might think), but a wise step from a company that has traditionally/unfortunately often told little girls all over the world to just take it easy already, because a man is on the way to fix everything.

Zootopia, by the way, is cool as hell and looks beautiful the first time we see the city through Judy’s eyes, via brief aerial shots of dizzying rainforest treetop canopies, scorching deserts, miniature rodent neighborhoods and so on. The attention to detail is staggering, and unlike most Pixar films, there is an actual feeling that the city lives and breathes.

Judy, a rabbit, has plans to join the police

force. No one takes Judy seriously, though, and she winds up working as a mere meter maid.

Still, she does her job well, and through a series of right place, right time moments, she is thrust into the midst of a clandestine plot alongside Nick, a slick con artist fox (played amazingly by Jason Bateman) with a tragic past, and the pair must fight the odds to find the bad guys and return order to their city.

Allowing the legitimately funny moments to eclipse whatever paint-by-numbers plot points one would expect from a kid’s movie is the way to go here, and the important lesson we’re helped to relearn is that you should never judge a book by its cover (unless that book is about sloths). Sorry if that sounds cliché, but the greatest hits are the ones that ring true forever.

If nothing else, we can all be reminded that we may need help from time to time, regardless of age, even when we truly do believe in ourselves. (ADV) Violet Crown and Regal Cinemas, PG, 108 min.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) When Orville and Wilbur Wright were kids, their father gave them a toy helicopter powered by a rubber band. The year was 1878. Twentyfive years later, the brothers became the first humans to sail above the earth in a flying machine. They testified that the toy helicopter had been a key inspiration as they worked to develop their pioneering invention. In the spirit of the Wright Brothers’ magic seed, Aries, I invite you to revive your connection to a seminal influence from your past. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to feed a dream that was foreshadowed in you a long time ago.

beloved illusions, which you’d rather preserve. I’m here to urge you to risk posing all these types of questions, Libra. I think you’re strong enough and smart enough, and in just the right ways, to deal constructively with the answers. I’m not saying you’ll be pleased with everything you find out. But you will ultimately be glad you finally made the inquiries.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) If you are enmeshed in a jumble that makes you squirm or if you are caught in a tangle that stifles your self-love, you have three choices.

Here’s how Eckhart Tolle defines them: 1. Get out of the situation. 2. Transform the situation. 3. Completely TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “The task of a writer is not accept the situation. Does that sound reasonable, to solve the problem but to state the problem correctly,” Scorpio? I hope so, because the time has come to act. said Russian writer Anton Chekhov. Whether or not Don’t wait to make your decision. Do it soon. After that, you’re a writer, Taurus, that is also your special task in there will be no whining allowed. You can no longer the coming weeks. The riddle that has begun to captiindulge in excuses.

From an astrological perspective, it’s going to be an excellent time both to wander free of your usual haunts and to disperse the enchantments that have colonized your mind. Why not find ways to synergize these two opportunities?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) At one point in his life, author C. S. Lewis had a rude awakening as he took stock of the progress he thought he had been making. “I am appalled to see how much of the change I thought I had undergone lately was only imaginary,” he wrote. I want to make sure that something similar doesn’t happen to you, Virgo. You’re in the midst of what should be a Golden Age of Self-Transformation. Make sure you’re actually doing the work that you imagine you’re doing— and not just talking about it and thinking about it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In her poem “Time,” Piscean poet Lia Purpura wonders about “not picking up a penny because it’s only a little luck.” Presumably she is referring to a moment when you’re walking down a street and you spy an almost-but-not-quite-worthless coin lying on the concrete. She theorizes that you may just leave it there. It adds next to nothing to your wealth, right? Which suggests that it also doesn’t have much value as a symbol of good fortune. But I urge you to reject this line of thought in the coming weeks, Pisces. In my astrological opinion, you’ll be wise to capitalize on the smallest opportunities. There will be plenty of them, and they will add up.
