LETTERS, NOVEMBER 16:

she was going to bring some clarity to the complexity within the Trump supporters.

However, she completely lost me and my desire to hear her point of view when she lumped all liberals together: “Leftists lost because of who they are: morally bankrupt, and we have had enough.”

Hypocritical and does nothing to help educate her point of view. Only continues the hate and intolerance that is not what the United States stands for.

JEFF HOLBROOK SANTA FE

“BERKENSTINKERS”

CIVIL CONVERSATION? I am saddened by Bettyann Craddock’s vitriolic letter regarding Trump’s win over the “morally bankrupt” leftists on November 8. I don’t consider anyone who voted for Clinton to be morally bankrupt, nor do I think that all Trump voters can legitimately be characterized as racists, bigots, homophobes, mysogynists or xenophobes. Craddock’s letter just shows how deeply and emotionally divided we are politically and how unable we are to have a civil conversation about the future of our nation.

DAVID PRESCOTT SANTA FE

THE AMERICAN WAY Since election day, I’ve been trying to make sense of Donald Trump’s election as President of the United States. I have been more than concerned about his divisive words and behavior during the campaign. ...

What I still can’t come to grips with is trying to understand that along with this “message to the world,” we are also endorsing the words and behavior of Donald Trump. ... The letter from Bettyann Craddock did nothing to help me to understand another side from my thinking and how we are where we are now. I was beginning to understand her point of view when she stated that she was fed up with being lumped together as Trump supporters being bigots, homophobes, misogynists, etc. I thought

NEWS, NOVEMBER 9: “THIS GUY”

THE ORANGE BUFFOON As a white male I find myself chagrined and humiliated that this cruel-hearted buffoon with his posse of hate-filled acolytes will be taking office in January, riding on the backs of misogyny, racism, selfishness and appalling ignorance. I suspect a disaster of historical proportions awaits this country and the world, but I hope not.

If you’re not male and if you don’t look like me, I wonder how you must feel this early November evening. Your worst fears about the country must be haunting you.

But I tell you what. You’re safe with me and with the majority who voted for Hillary.

We are, and will be, better than this, and that awful man whose name I cannot bring myself to speak.

Santa Fe’s Praises

T

BY ROBE RT B ASLE R

his seems an appropriate topic for the issue in which SFR celebrates writing. Every so often, I look around Santa Fe and ask myself, Why aren’t there any great songs about this place?

I mean, open your eyes. It’s gorgeous here. And spiritual. And iconic. Everybody in Santa Fe who isn’t an artist is a writer or a musician, so where are the songs?

Let me back up for a minute. There is a Santa Fe acoustic trio I really enjoy called American JeM. Their genre is Americana, which I think means they give you an old-timey feeling without using a banjo.

I asked them once why they don’t sing more songs about Santa Fe, and they said they don’t know any. The closest they come to it is “New Mexico Rain,” an exquisitely crafted song by Michael Hearne, who’s not in JeM. Well, I tell you honey, if I had the money, We’d be on that first plane to Spain But as long as we’re here, the answer is clear, We’ll dance in the New Mexico Rain.

Great lyrics, but not Santa Fe-specific. Anyhow, my friends in JeM said if I wanted Santa Fe songs so badly I should write some myself, so that’s what I’ve been doing. Like this one, to the tune of “California Dreamin’”…

All the shops are brown, and the hair is gray I’m breakin’ into retail Here in Santa Fe Sellin’ turquoise jewelry, and maybe pots made of clay Sellin’ to the tourists You know they come here in May Concho belts and ponchos, cowboy

boots, they say All the tourists buy them ‘Cause they’re in Santa Fe Kokopelli statues, ristras festive and gay I’m breakin’ into retail Here in Santa Fe! I’ll set up in La Fonda That’s where the tourists stay Selling tacky tchotchkes Right here in Santa Fe big finish…

Selling tacky tchotchkes Right here in Santa Fayyyyyy!!!!

Those bright farolitos, remind me of Cheetos…

Thank you. You’re a great audience. This next song was inspired by “New Mexico Rain,” so JeM can just recycle the same tune. I think that’s considered a sign of respect in the music business. I call this one “Santa Fe Heat.”

Those bright farolitos remind me of Cheetos, As the Santa Fe sun sets in town And the old señoritos make a pie out of Fritos While I pray for some rain to come down I’m here with my perro, if I had dinero, I’d buy him a banquet of meat But as long as we’re here, the answer is clear, We’ll broil in the Santa Fe heat (chorus) That Santa Fe heat, oh it’s hot at the Plaza That Santa Fe heat, it’s hotter than most If I ain’t comfy here, then I ain’t comfy nowhere That Santa Fe heat, when my skin starts to roast The Sangre de Cristos have beautiful vistos But crap, is the weather here hot If it weren’t for that wall, I’d hear Mexico’s call, And get me away from this drought Oh, in las Golondrinas, this guy lost his…

Wait! You’re stopping me here? What?

Just because señoritos and vistos aren’t realreal ly words? That’s harsh! Well, you should’ve let me finish, because that Golondrinas rhyme would have put us on the map! It could have been the city anthem this town has needed for 400 years, but now it’s gone.

And, as all of us are starting to realize, you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone.

Tug-of-Turf Excessive force settlement closes chapter on dispute between Santa Fe County and Pueblo of Pojoaque

BY STEVE N H SI E H steven@ s fre p o r te r.co m

A

STEVEN HSIEH

ttorneys had agreed on the jury instructions. Witnesses were lined up. Twelve locals were already empaneled as a jury to hear both sides of the story.

But the case came to an abrupt end on Halloween after six years of arbitration and litigation that involved a heated jurisdictional dispute between the Pueblo of Pojoaque and the county sheriff’s department.

Santa Fe County instead agreed to a $75,000 settlement last month with Jose Luis Loya, a Texas man who had sued in 2010 alleging wrongful arrest and excessive force by police.

Had the case not been settled out of court, the jury would have determined whether Sergeant Glen Gutierrez, a Pojoaque police officer who was also commissioned as a county sheriff’s deputy, pulled over Loya without probable cause as he was driving on Highway 84. They would have also heard a claim that Gutierrez pinned Loya’s neck against a truck window and kicked him in the leg.

But the New Mexico Supreme Court in May 2015 already answered the biggest question arising out of Loya’s lawsuit—whether the county can be held liable for the actions of commissioned outside forces. Because of the answer, Santa Fe County no longer commissions outside police to help enforce laws within its jurisdiction.

That prompted Sheriff Robert Garcia to end a years-long practice of enlisting the help of 17 different agencies to help enforce traffic laws and state statutes

According to the settlement dated Oct. 31, the across the expansive region, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the City of Santa Fe, Torrance County, county does not admit to any wrongdoing on behalf Los Alamos, Edgewood and the Pueblos of Pojoaque of the sheriff’s department or officer Gutierrez. It’s agreeing to pay out $75,000 to “avoid the time, energy and Tesuque.

He revoked sheriff’s department commissions and expense of further litigation.”

In the lawsuit, Loya claims Gutierrez applied his from the all but one police department.

Gutierrez allegedly pulled over Loya shortly after Garcia’s department to carry any liability for actions the near-collision and ordered him to spread his legs carried out as county deputies.

A Bisti Encounter

I

BY SHAULA LESATH had not noticed the tall elderly man who had moved into the seat and was now sitting next to me in the airport lounge. He cleared his throat and plunged straight into conversation.

“I could not help overhear your travel plans,” he said, pointing to the crowd still milling around flight agents’ desk at the closed terminal gate. “I see you are heading to the Southwest... into the great wilderness... You must plan well

before the trip… I was there once and…”

I impatiently cut him short. “I am not sure that anyone here is going anywhere for a while. Were you at the agent’s desk?” We were snowed in at the Anchorage Ted Stevens Airport and all flights were either delayed or cancelled indefinitely. I had time to kill until my flight to Denver was announced.

But I was wary of encouraging unsolicited storytellers. They were veritable reservoirs of anecdotes that were of interest only to the narrator. But he had other redeeming qualities—especially to a photographer—when I studied him closer. His height, his shocking blue eyes that peered through his deeply furrowed tanned face, the bright purple vest and the hat with a single feather, and the light backpack resting beside him. How did I not notice him at the agent’s desk?

“Would you mind if I took a few photographs?” I asked, looking for the model release cards in my backpack. “My contact information is on the back,” I said as I pulled out a couple of the cards for him and reached into the camera case for my favorite 70-300 tele-zoom lens.

It didn’t seem like he had heard me or seen my outstretched hand with the cards.

“I was out there in the wilderness,” he continued. “Nothing but the howling wind and the tall winged rocky pillars all around. I had always thought that I could never get lost if I had a good GPS or compass on my trip. But there is a first time for everything, you see. You want to photograph the Milky Way in winter—but do you know how cold it

gets out there at dusk even in October? I was out there once to capture star tracks against the rocks and winged hoodoos.

Something special—something no one else had published before.” He chuckled. “Youthful ambition and adventure, you see. But the Bisti can be unforgiving...”

“Did you say Bisti? As in the Bisti Wilderness near Farmington?” I asked.

The man had captured my interest now and I had recently learned to pronounce it properly—Bee-steye, not Bee-stee.

“How did you...? Well, yes, you overheard me talking about it over there.

I am all prepared for the shoot. I have been repeatedly warned told not to venture into the land without a good GPS, extra batteries, and plenty of water and rations just in case. In addition to my gear of course,” I patted the massive camera bag by my side. “I hear that you can be out of cell phone range there.”

He turned to me. Unsmiling. “But your GPS can die on you. Or you misplace your compass. The sky gets grey with approaching snow. You can no longer follow the stars. It is dark. It is cold.

You no longer know where you are. Are you prepared for that? Can you stay calm and not panic?

“I had been walking most of the day.

I had to get there before sunrise to capture the first rays against the winged hoodoos. I set way points on the GPS to make sure I knew how to get back to the truck. I was an awesome experience—most spiritual—most satisfying— surrounded by these serene tall rocks— some winged like angels—otherworldly and godlike in their supreme aloofness.

I don’t remember how many images I

got that day—I was mesmerized by the shifting shadows falling on the rocks as the sun moved along its daily route— and lost track of time—at least until the darkness dropped in and I started gathering my stuff and decided to head back.

The sky had become a very dark shared of gray—no stars—no Milky Way—that would be for another night.”

I tried to interrupt with some questions about how long ago he was there and what time of the year he had taken this trip, but the man continued on like he hadn’t heard me.

“The truck was parked on the west side of the wilderness area. Had I started my return at dusk as originally planned, I could have followed the setting sun back, I thought. I was still a good fourhour walk. I started walking back briskly since I didn’t bring along any camping gear. I had always prided myself on my sense of direction. It had been quite warm during the day so I was down to my shirt and vest. Now I rummaged for the hooded jacket, pulled it on and resumed my march back to the truck. I was still walking along confidently when I came to a group of strangely formed rocks ahead of me. I did not remember walking past them earlier in the day— granted the dull, dark, shadowless gray of the night could play tricks on your eyes. I walked on—with an unsettling feeling that I could be lost.”

The airport public announcement system sounded with its usual loud but unintelligible tones—was the runway getting cleared? But I was compelled to continue listening to the man’s story— was there a punch line? A lesson perhaps?

“So how long did it take you to get back? I am sure your GPS was invaluable—right?” I asked.

He seemed to hear me this time. He nodded.

“Ah yes! The GPS! I pulled it out to check the bread crumbs I had so carefully strewn on my way into the wilderness. I could see I was a little off from the nearest way point—and I started walking back. About 10 minutes later, the screen began to get less visible and was just a faint greyish palette—no contrast, no information. I quickly pulled the spare batteries from my bag and replaced the ones in the GPS unit. There was a slight flicker and then nothing. I tried the last set of spare batteries I had and again, it was the same. The deplorable little man at the hotel shop where I had picked them up had sworn that they were especially long-lasting lithium batteries designed for GPS units.

And none of them worked. I was angry.

I felt I had been swindled out of a potentially life-saving essential wilderness survival item. I would report him, I promised myself, when I got back to my room—if I got back to my room. The flash of anger quickly morphed into despair. The night was getting colder exponentially and I realized the folly of not having brought along at least one of those cheap metallic gas station warming blankets. I pulled out my phone to call for help—there was no connection. I sat down on one of the strangely formed rocks to nibble on a few crackers and sip some water before deciding on the next step.”

“I thought I heard noises behind me.

A coyote or other wild animal perhaps?

I didn’t think too much wildlife could thrive in a wasteland such as this. Pretty, photogenic, but an empty wasteland nonetheless. I was beginning to worry and a bit of panic was setting in. Then I heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps behind me! I turned around and there was this man, a stranger, in khaki-ish clothes—hard to tell in the failing light—with what appeared to be a backpack slung on his shoulder. A park ranger perhaps—these were, after all, BLM lands—but at this hour and on foot? A hiker like myself? More likely.

He started walking briskly in the direction away from the low rocks and waved his hand signaling as if to follow him. I did so gratefully. At least I was in the company of another human. We walked for about another three hours or so, without stopping, without speaking, me following the guiding stranger in a half run and half walk until we reached the wide arroyo which I recognized as being close to the parking lot. I saw the low-tech marker—a long strip of flam-

ing orange survey tape—I had tied with a fancy bow around a pointed rock.”

“That was clever,” I remarked. “I must add that to my list of items to take along in case the high tech ones should fail.” I chuckled.

The man looked at me—unsmiling again with a serious look on his face continued, “The stranger then placed a round object in my palm—and said pointing, ‘That way—15 minutes or less.’ And he was gone, before I had a chance to thank him or say anything at all.

“Back in the safety of my truck I examined the object in my palm—it was a vintage lensatic compass with some worn out etching or engraving on the cover. I would examine it when I got back to the hotel.”

“So did you eventually...” I began as the airport public announcement came on again. I heard the words “passengers,” “Phoenix,” “Denver,” jumped up to check the large flight status video screen suspended a few feet away. I turned to the man and said, “Please wait. I will be right back. I want to check if and when my flight is leaving.”

I darted away requesting the man to keep an eye on my baggage. I would be right back.

When I returned a good 40 minutes later to my seat, after securing a boarding ticket to Denver, the man was gone.

My baggage was still there. I checked to see if my camera and other accessories were still in the bag. Nothing seemed to have been touched moved. There was no sign of the man and I never saw him again. On his now-empty seat was one of the two business cards with the model release that I had offered him and a small weathered soft leather drawstring bag. I opened it to see the other business card stuck inside along with a circular object. It was an old engraved lensatic compass.

Patients are a virtue.

RESERVOIR MAMAN

I

BY ANN LAASE BAILEY carry my mother around Paris on my back. She’s been dead three years. It’s taken me that long to grieve. I still haven’t accepted that she’s gone. She’s ever present, standing just outside my field of vision. I turn quickly, try to catch her, she’s faster; I know she’s there. Now I’m in Paris on the trip we’d planned to take together. And we are together, Mums and I. She’s in two places, walking a step behind my left shoulder, and in my knapsack, ashes in a simple wooden box.

Skydive, spelunk, learn to tap dance, swim naked in the ocean, cuddle a koala, visit Jim Morrison’s grave. My mother wrote her bucket list the day she was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. Her appointment was in the morning. At noon she called to invite me for dinner, not an unusual request. We’d always been close, and since Dad’s passing two years earlier we ate together several times a week.

She broke the news over dessert.

She was calm, serene. I cried, and held onto a sliver of disbelief. Mums was young, 59, and still, as my father oft described her, lithe and lovely. Yes, she’d lost some weight, but the death of a husband, best friend, and lover, after 30 years of marriage could do that to a person. “You’ll beat this, you’re a fighter.”

“The cancer’s too widespread. Now’s the time to accept and celebrate life. I want you to join me in completing my bucket list.”

Bucket list? Mums, my hero, my role model, her life a cornucopia of experience—growing up in rural Iowa, moving to New York at 20, working first as a model then an actress, becoming a distinguished playwright; not to mention the people she’d met and the places she’d been—what hadn’t she done?

“Sarah, did you hear me?” Mums asked, pushing her list across the table towards me. “I want you with me on the rest of my journey. I’m not about to swindle myself now.” My mother’s philosophy of life, I’d heard it so often.

Once, as a college freshman in a homesick state of melancholy, I’d almost tattooed it on my forearm: Life, the grand

adventure; don’t cheat yourself of a single day.

I embraced her list with gusto. The confessionary dinner was on a Wednesday. By Saturday we’d joined a weekly tap class in Tribeca. Within a month we’d ticked off the next four activities on Mums’s final checklist and captured them all on film. We jumped out of a plane over Long Island, strapped to the muscular chests of skydiving instructors Todd and Jimmy. I drove us to Pennsylvania where, clad in coveralls, hard hats, and headlamps, we rappelled in the dank darkness of underground caverns. Swimming naked in the ocean off of Manhattan Beach in the middle of a hot summer’s day took some ingenuity, but we pulled it off. We entered the water in bathing suits. On my back was a lightweight drawstring sack containing a waterproof Nikon purchased for the occasion. Once in deeper water the camera came out of the bag and our Speedos went in. I snapped pics of Mums giggling as she floated on the waves, her breasts flowers tracking the sun. The koala posed the biggest challenge; there were none in the New York area. Through a friend of a friend of a friend, I got in touch with a zookeeper in Cleveland. We flew from LaGuardia to Cleveland and back the same day.

Mums was delighted and surprised— the koala was heavier than anticipated (about 25 pounds), more wooly than silky soft to the touch, and smelled like cough drops courtesy of its eucalyptus leaf diet.

“Why Jim Morrison’s grave?” I’d asked Mums when I read her list, “I didn’t know you were a Doors fan. Besides, you’ve been to Paris many times.”

“I wasn’t dying on my previous visits, so it wasn’t important. Now I want to go to say thank you.”

“Thank you?”

“Yes. If it weren’t for Jim Morrison, I’d never have had the courage to leave Iowa. In 1974 I heard Break on Through on the radio. I hadn’t heard it before, because, well, that just wasn’t the kind of music we listened to in my hometown. I didn’t understand the lyrics or much like the music, but that one line, ‘Break on through to the other side,’ stuck in my head. That was the start of my life as a grand adventure.”

In preparation for our trip to Paris, we enrolled in a weeklong French immersion course at Berlitz in Rockefeller Center. My mother’s language skills were deplorable and endearing.

She’d chatter away with confidence, substituting somewhat similar sounding familiar words for the French ones.

Chérie was cherry, aujourd’hui became aubergine, and au revoir turned reservoir. The instructors adored her. Each

misspoken mot brought laughter and joy that filled the class, spilled out onto West 51st Street, and infected all of Midtown. I almost forgot she was dying.

We were ready for Paris, airline tickets purchased, hotel booked, when the cancer struck. Overnight the slumbering guest lodged in her body turned violent home invader. Mums didn’t fight.

She seemed to taunt the disease like a child frolicking with the tide. When the pain surged she stayed just ahead of it, receding into herself, her vitality an invisible wind as it drained first from the room, then from her body, until she simply vanished. She didn’t suffer, but I did.

I’ve wandered the streets of Paris for five days. Today I’m ready. Time to say thank you Jim Morrison. I’m up early, 6:30 am, and out the door of my hotel by seven. It’s a drizzly, cold, mid-September morning. I walk down Rue Monge in the eerie twilight before dawn. The air smells rich, a combination of history and culinary flavors, older, more mature than the salty, steely odor of Manhattan. I stop at Maison Kayser, boulangerie-pâtisserie, for coffee and pain au chocolat, then wind my way back up Rue Monge to Rue des Écoles and the Jussieu metro station. Rush hour has started; fashionable Parisians crowd the platform. I catch line seven, direction La Courneuve 8 Mai 1945.

I close my eyes, listen to the train’s rhythmic hum, and submerse myself in the subterranean soul of Paris, the collected energy of the city’s denizens that concentrates underground. The underbelly of every city has a unique sensorial aura. At home in New York it’s Jackson Pollock, Basquiat, Miles Davis, and Tupac. Here I’m engulfed in the impressionist colors and brushstrokes of Monet—soothing—with Edith Piaf singing in the background. As the rush

of passengers builds, Monet shifts to the staccato of Seurat’s pointillism. It’s seven stops to Opéra, and a change to line three, direction Gallieni, then ten more stops to Père Lachaise.

I emerge from below ground to clearing skies and a risen sun. Across the road I see a gate into the cemetery.

I approach; it’s locked. I skirt the perimeter, walking about half a mile, until I find the main entrance. Eight a.m., opening hour, the monolithic gates unfurl. I cross the portal. Shadow Mums skips happily behind me.

I pick up a map and scan the names of the dead. Impressive. Mums belongs here amongst her artistic and intellectual peers. I formulate a plan and a trajectory through the tombs. I choose carefully. Who would Mums like to meet? Fifteen stops; Pissarro, Collette, Chopin, Balzac, Delacroix, Apollinaire, Proust, Maria Callas, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Edith Piaf, Modigliani, Sarah Bernhardt, Molière, Jim Morrison. I stop, remove the box of ashes from my backpack, and unseal it. Under the shadows of tall trees, back into the ever-increasing sunlight, along paved streets, cobblestone alleys, and dirt trodden footpaths, first up the expansive hillside, then down, I meander from grave to grave. Some are easy to find, Oscar Wilde’s imposing lipstickcovered monument. Others more elusive, Apollinaire, playing hide and seek in the tangle of plots at the heart of the park. At each stop I introduce the newest member of their society, noted playwright Alice Robertson, my mother, and sow a portion of her ashes. I feel Mums’ approval, a warm glow behind my left scapula.

It’s taken almost three hours to complete my route. I arrive at my final destination, Jim Morrison’s resting place. Japanese tourists surround the site. They snap selfies and, flashing peace signs, pose for group photos.

>>> FICTION I stand to the side, waiting patiently.

And then, I’m alone. I step over the barrier and face the headstone. “Mr. Morrison, I’d like to introduce you to my mother, Alice Robertson. She’s here to thank you. You gave her the courage to live life on her terms, to break through her self-imposed boundaries. I’d like to thank you, too. Because of you, I grew up experiencing the world with the most incredible mother. And now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to leave her here with you.” I scatter the remaining ashes and place the empty box against the backside of the memorial. I extract four photographs from my wallet— Mums in skydiving free fall, her broad grin turned grimace with the effect of gravity; Mums, with an ever-so-serious coal miner’s stare, in her caving attire; Mums gleefully splashing in the ocean; Mums cradling a koala, amazement in her eyes—and lay them gently upon her box. My task is done.

As I climb back over the barricade, a small group of scruffy teenagers approaches. A boy with a guitar strums the melody to “The End;” the others join him in song.

This is the end, beautiful friend This is the end, my only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I’ll never look into your eyes, again…

I am still. Tears wet my cheeks. I wait for the song to finish before I move. As I take my first step, the ragtag band launches into “Break on Through.”

You know the day destroys the night Night divides the day Tried to run Tried to hide Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side Break on through to the other side, yeah…

I laugh, a loud raucous roar, and tap my way towards the exit. Mums is dancing too. She’s moving up and away from me, her new acquaintances beckoning her to their salon.

“Reservoir Maman, au revoir. Goodbye Mums. I love you.”

T

BY VAUGHN FORTIER-SHULTZ he company that employs me offers four days off for bereavement (two if the funeral is in-state), and, galled by the price of plane tickets for so soon a trip, I began packing my compact SUV. Seneca is a small community in Thomas County, slightly northwest of Nebraska’s center. Established during a railroad work stoppage in January 1888, the town’s meager population had dwindled with each census to the point that, in 2014, residents voted to unincorporate rather than struggle to retain municipality. The United Church of Christ sits on a dirt road a block from the post office, and it was in their small back cemetery lot that my mother wished to be buried.

She spent her entire life in Nebraska, seldom venturing further than two counties over for anything. Her maternal grandparents had arrived in Grand Island during the boom of the 1880s, and her mother and father met working at the local sugar beet processing factory. A heady sense of homesteading nostalgia led the couple to settle down on a farm in Alliance, on the Western side of the Sand Hills. My mother was born at home, Crenetha Joanne McMurtry, the youngest of eight children, in August of 1920.

I shut the hatchback and walked into the house one last time, to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything, and to look once more at the walls, covered in framed photographs and paintings, ephemera that now seemed so arbitrary and meaningless. Was this my house? Familiar, but unrecognizable, unnecessary. There are no words to explain the value of one’s possessions when dealing with death. It all seems irrelevant compared to the inscrutable void of beyond; owning property is the ultimate swindle.

The passing of a life often comes unexpectedly, but my mom’s flame had been flickering for years. At one point she slipped, fell and broke her hip, leading my siblings and me to urge her to move into a retirement facility where she could be taken care of full-time.

Resistant and resilient, she stayed put in her two-story farmhouse, hidden by

trees, the paint peeling from the siding.

Within the year, a second accident left her with two broken wrists and a nearfatal scalp laceration. My sister Mary was living in North Platte at the time and began staying with our mother, helping take care of her.

Forty months passed, and Mary’s regular phone calls kept me informed about Mom’s condition, waning gradually until expiration. In my mind, I was prepared for this inevitable conclusion, but when the news broke I had trouble drawing breath. My face was hot, my sweat was cold, my stomach knotted like a lanyard. Memories

My midlife crisis was spectacular. I almost died mountain biking in Moab, and looking back, my tattoo doesn’t bring me the joy I hoped for.

With no children of my own and little interest in dating, I resided alone in a house full of belongings that failed to make me happy.

of warm smiles and stern reproaches whirled through my head, dizzying me.

Arming the security system, I locked the door and got into my car. It was still early, and I had 12 hours of driving ahead of me. My destination was the town of Arthur, where the family had rented a house for relatives to stay at during the proceedings. I hadn’t been to a funeral in years.

As a young man, road trips were a source of excitement and adventure, intriguing and eye-opening. I felt a spiritual kinship with America’s roaming storytellers, Jack Kerouac and Jerry Garcia influencing my choices and making banalities fascinating. Walking

into a bar for the first time in Webster Springs, West Virginia and drinking with miners gave me a sense of belonging unmatched by any neighborhood association or professional tenure. I was most at home the further from home I got.

Later, wife and career brought me to Boise, and following the divorce, I wound up living and working in Twin Falls.

My midlife crisis was spectacular. I almost died mountain biking in Moab, and looking back, my tattoo doesn’t bring me the joy I hoped for. With no children of my own and little interest in dating, I resided alone in a house full of belongings that failed to make me happy. It seems like people used to be more content with their disappointment. My life certainly felt like a deep reservoir of sadness and shame. Most folk don’t relate to Baudelaire’s poems.

I got on I-84, continuing south after the junction with I-86. I passed a sign for Beet Dump Road, and chuckled. Sounded like a road you’d go down if you had to shit out a beet. I thought about my grandparents working at the beet factory. They probably took plenty of beet shits.

There aren’t a lot of people in northcentral Utah. I drive past farm routes with numbers for names: 22500 Road forks with 18400 Road, and 23600 Road intersects 20000 Road to form four right angles. It makes sense in these remote parts of the Great Basin to apply such impersonal monikers; the roads look ready to return to the anonymous dust at any moment.

The car gets decent highway mileage, which it should for a suburban vehicle. My ex-wife’s lawyer let me keep it during the settlement negotiations.

Figures, since after she took my money, the former love of my life leased a new Maserati.

Ogden came and went. The Wasatch Range looked beautiful out the window, teeth in the Rocky Mountain zipper. How could anyone have climbed over those mountains for the first time? Went around them, more likely.

I let the sights wash over me as my thoughts bounced around like a pinball. Long stretches behind the wheel make me contemplative, but I suppose the predisposition was already there after the emotional turbulence of losing a loved one. Living by myself under self-imposed isolation made me docile, sheltered me from the harm of the outside world. I believed myself to be safe, a patient recovering in hospital, but perhaps I was more like a prisoner in solitary confinement.

Briefly, I mistook a small bird flying by for a wood thrush.

2016 / WRITING CONTEST RAILYARD URGENT CARE How cliché for me to reevaluate the deplorable state of my life, to reconsider my values and priorities, to allow the external transgression of death to cross the threshold into my hearth of rigid compartmentalization. Driving into Wyoming, I told myself that her death just strengthened my resolve, highlighting the absurdity of existence and confirming that love only leads to loss and suffering.

She had been the strongest female figure in my life. I was still in the formative first decade of existence when my father left, and I suppose my mom had seen it coming, since she didn’t miss a beat taking charge and raising us children on her own. We were instructed to tell people, if they asked, that our father was dead. “He is to me,” she said on a few occasions. After a while we stopped mentioning him altogether.

My mom wasn’t much of a storyteller. She believed in honest work and self-righteousness. Pride came naturally to her, and she wasn’t one to answer questions she didn’t want asked.

My siblings and I were always encouraged to stand up and look out for ourselves. I don’t think she respected me very much after my divorce. I can’t blame her.

I passed a sign for Kemmerer, home of the first JC Penney store. More claim to fame than anything I’d ever done. I exited and pulled into a rest area to use the bathroom. My prostate is about as bad as any man my age should expect, so I’m not complaining.

Diet and exercise are concerns for the young.

Yet as I continued on the road, passing Rock Springs on the way to Rawlins, a familiar feeling crept over me, one which hadn’t made itself known in years: excitement. Rolling down the window to breathe fresh air, the wind roaring in my ear, I felt the same giddiness as in younger years on crosscountry drives. The eternal spirit of adventure and conquest are embodied in the roads of this nation. A twinge of guilt makes me sheepish; Europeans stole this land from the Native Americans. My privilege is showing.

Wyoming is one of three states to have borders constructed only along lines of latitude and longitude, rather than by naturally occurring formations and landmarks. It does seem kind of silly to define something by random lines rather than any tangible substance. I unwrap and chew a Tums to avoid considering the parallels between Wyoming’s random borders and my own capricious values.

One of my earliest memories is sitting on the couch during a warm sum-

mer day. My mom was folding a large sheet in the middle of the room, and as she shook it out, I fell asleep. When I came to, she was holding me in her arms, crying gently. I closed my eyes and pretended to have not woken.

That was the only time I ever saw her vulnerable side.

The population of Wyoming rivals that of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Passing through Cheyenne, I became uneasy. This corner of the state seemed weird to me. Pine Bluffs was hit by a hail storm earlier this year so devastating that the National Guard had to be called in. I couldn’t imagine what it must be like to live there.

I fail to stifle a giggle driving past Dix, Nebraska, and further down the road, Lodgepole. Brule. Ogallala. Getting close now.

The conflicting emotions inside me raged on. How did I become so set in my ways? When did sadness become the norm? At what point was my love of life lost? Though I hadn’t experienced a profound epiphany during the drive, it provided much-needed food for thought. Who was it that said something about an unexamined life?

Reminiscing about the travels and exploits of my younger days, and reflecting on my mom and family, I began thinking of the great adventure that is life, part roller coaster ride, part heroic saga, part roll of the dice. By virtue of drawing breath, it seemed my adventure was still continuing down a path that curves so much you can’t see what’s ahead. Was I ready to put it all behind me and resign to fate’s cruel maneuvering, or did I yet have accomplishments to come?

I pulled into the covered carport of the rental house in Arthur and put my car in park.

DOWN BY THE RIVERSIDE A winter adventure

J

BY RICHARD JAY GOLDSTEIN anuary is never easy. But this is a pilgrimage, a resetting of thresholds, so I’d rather not hear any voices but my own. It’s just me, the slush, and the loneliness of a winter Tuesday morning. I’m taking my place in line behind John Muir, Gertrude Bell, Edmund Hillary, Reinhold Messner, Arlene Blum, all the other lunatics. But there’s only so much room in a Tuesday morning. No time to go halfway around the world.

Anyway, I have a Purpose, a job to do, an accomplishment to accomplish. Authorized personnel only. Do not try this at home.

I park my truck on the shoulder of the road, cross the river on the old wooden bridge, parallel to the steel highway bridge. The old bridge was restored a while back and for a long time was fragrant with cedar planking. I face a trail brimming with mud, patches of dirty snow in the shadows. I also face a sign—which I ignore—forbidding me to do what I’m going to do. Low gray clouds tatter overhead.

The trail follows the river, snaking away between chamisa and juniper and boulders the size of boulders.

I’m not going to tell you where I am.

Too many people already ignore the sign. If you recognize the place, keep it to yourself.

Now it’s up the soggy trail, feet shattering the ice-lace, running lightly in my high-tech trail running shoes—my all-terrain mud-&-snow sneakers. My physiology cranks. Time attenuates.

Empty mind, full mind. The wind blows through my ears.

I come to a stand of sage. The sage is luminous gray, heavy seed-plumes nodding. I stop, select a thick and vigorous bush, flick open my trusty pocket-knife and slice off a small plume. I rub the greasy leaves between my fingers, rub my fingers under my nose, then stick the twig behind my ear. The clean sweet smell lurks in my mind and I turn back to the trail, heart beating.

I can see a high curved cliff, like a

shallow amphitheater, to the southeast of the trail. It looms a few hundred feet above me, a half-mile away. Hard sandstone, decorated with horizontal strata a million years apart, the face split into quantum segments by vertical cracks.

Time and space. What more could you want, besides a good cheap pizza?

This is world-class scenery. But this place—this trail, that view—is really just a cranny tucked away between towns and highways, always at risk of being paved over. Should be a national park, if simple beauty were the criterion. Because every timelogged cliff and trail from which to behold it, every hill and creek, every tree and meadow, should be celebrated, not just the huge wild places. Instead, we’re forced to hold beauty contests to see who will survive.

Here she is folks! Miss Fourteen K Peak! Isn’t she lovely?

Who will save the homely little places like this one?

Like this one. Bony hills dotted with piñon and juniper scrub. Ghost-laden sandstone cliffs. The brown river, like milk chocolate. This is precious. I slip and slide in the ice-cold mud.

Now the trail dips down by the river and passes a beach. But this one is too close to the road for my Deep Purpose today. This is the beach you stop at when you don’t have much time but you tell yourself I’ll just zip in, mellow out, and get on home. Now, in the low water of winter, a thin sand and rock island appears just offshore, looking as if it’s racing upriver.

The trail jogs up onto the laps of the hills, and follows a cut bank glittering with quartz. A hundred years ago this was the bed for an old narrow-gauge railroad, and here and there crumbles of ancient ties lie like pale shadows across the trail. Early on a different morning I got caught here behind a big skunk who was ambling along home. He wouldn’t pull over and I wasn’t about to pass him.

We crept at skunk speed for about half a mile. Every so often he’d look around at me moseying 10 yards behind. Yep, the human’s still back there. Well, ho hum, nice morning. Finally the skunk got where he was going and turned off, but meanwhile I’d discovered I liked his pace and so I kept it up for a while longer, getting a new skunk’s-eye view of the old familiar trail.

The trail leaves the roadbed and the mud, and tracks up an arroyo slicing down the hillside. Riverside willows and cottonwood give way to piñon and juniper and cholla cactus. If any living thing does, cholla demonstrates the

blurred border between life and death.

Summer or winter, some of the plant is green and juicy, covered with bristling spines which seem to wave like a parched sea anemone, and some of the plant is nothing but dry cactus bones, webs of gray fiber that look like one of those woven straw finger traps.

Some people call cholla “jumping cactus,” because you can be passing one, yards away, plenty of room, and zap!—it’s stuck to the back of your jacket, and you have to cash in lots of chips to get a friend to pick it off you. If it gets to your skin you’ll be tweezing out toxic little hairs for weeks.

I pass a dead juniper snag. Plants handle death better than we animals. A dead tree, like this one, becomes even more beautiful in death. It dries out into an oriental painting, then turns silver in the sunlight, and finally decays into a fragrant dust, a little humus for the rocky floor. We, on the other hand, are unspeakable for ages. It’s only when our bones are finally free and clean that we reveal our kinship with trees.

The trail circles around the top of the arroyo, crosses on a dry bridge of stones slick with fossil water-polish, and then zigs back down the other side.

I get a free gravity-ride, hip twisting between the rocks, a sand-skier with titanium ankles. The sun comes out as the low clouds fritter away to the east. Up against the hill it’s summer-hot. Sweat cools my face and clammies the inside of my nylon clothes.

But back down by the river it’s still January. This is the season of renewal for sure, the shadows long and cold, the

sun between them wan and warm and gentle, the sweet sad smell of molding leaves moving in the air, the rattle of wind in the trees.

I come to a great chunk of a limestone boulder, tangled in the roots of a bare knobby cottonwood. The boulder has a faded petroglyph etched in the rock-varnish in the middle of its face, a strange bird-bodied creature with a spiral sun-circle for a head. It marks the entrance to a gully which leads to the second beach, my destination.

This beach is hidden, reached only by the gully. I slip in, ducking under willows. Here the river cuts in against its bank, making a shallow bay with tiny sand clifflets. This beach has a field of river rocks scattered along its leading edge, just what I need.

And now my Purpose is revealed.

This is not a simple run on a muddy riverside trail. Call me crazy, but I plan to walk along this beach, looking at the ground, recklessly seeing whatever there is to see. To find a flat round river rock. To skip it across the river. One stone, one skip, no matter what happens, and then the lonely run back to my truck, filled with some flavor or other of completion, sweet or bitter.

I stand for a minute, catching my breath, then drop down a small bank onto the beach. I scuffle along, eyes on the ground. A new world comes into view. An Eleodes stink beetle doing a headstand, lured from the dirt by the sun and now regretting it. A myriad of burrs clinging to their dry stems, waiting to attack my shoelaces. Birdtracks, and a rust-colored feather—a junco, checking out the river. Raggedy thistles. And stones, constellations of polished rocks. I pick one up, fondle it as if checking an apple, heft it, discard it. Another, too spherical. Another, too light. Finally one sticks to my hand, won’t be let go of. I hold it to my nose, and smell its history, the slow abrasive tale of stone.

It’s time. I approach the river bank.

There’s no dodging it now. This is what I came for.

Here’s how to skip a stone, as if you didn’t know. You cradle it between thumb and forefinger, curve of forefinger wrapped around the perfect circular edge. Your bent middle finger supports the underside. Your way to the river is clear, you approach with a step and a hop. Your arm hooks back, your leading foot plants itself, and your arm whips sideways, so the stone flies out flat to the plane of the river. You poise on one foot and count the skips. The best part, if it’s a good toss, is the little CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

So I do that. The stone follows a pure line through the air, smacks the skin of the river.

One two three four fivesixseveneight A decent toss, not incredible, not disappointing. The stone sinks from sight about two-thirds of the way across.

It’ll be back. Some day some kid downstream will pick it out of the mud, cock it back, and just before letting it go will feel the echo of this toss of mine. Every good skipping stone carries the traces of previous skips, audible to those who know how to listen.

Well, that’s it. Transcendence in our lives does not demand the miraculous, or the intrepid, or the foolhardy. The inside is bigger than the outside.

July 1977

I

BY MARIO GONZALES n July 1977 Elvis was large, soon to drop. Although he wasn’t on my 10-year-old mind. Disco was growing, too. But in a different way than Elvis and Fresno’s FM stations looped Andy Gibb and Thelma Houston continuously. Yet I hardly noticed. For sure, the bigger world was out there in song and more. I could feel it somehow and it seemed to come with its own heat. Because even then the world was getting hotter. I just wasn’t aware of it yet.

When I was 10 and still green in July 1977 I’d take a quarter from my mom’s purse and buy baseball cards. This was before steroids, lights at Wrigley, and interleague play. I’d walk three blocks to Toby’s Market, past the old Mexican men playing Conquin in the shade of a mulberry tree and past Mrs. Murrianga’s house with her nearly blind demon Chihuahuas yapping and snarling. Sitting behind the counter would be Tobey: thick glasses, thin mustache and Tres Rosas pomade slicking his dark hair to his crown. I’d buy a pack of Topps baseball cards. Inside were 12 waxy pictures of baseball players and a hard rectangle of gum, powdery so as not to stick to the cards. All the LA Dodgers players I could find were kept: Ron Cey, Steve Garvey, Reggie Smith. All the SF Giants players: Willie McCovey, Chris Spier, John Montefusco, were tossed, sometimes at the Chihuahua’s evil mugs. The gum was chewed until the hinge of my jaw ached.

Walking back home I’d see our 1974 LTD sitting in the driveway, still intact.

In 1977 I was afraid of the hardness of a baseball. It was the first year I played Little League and I was afraid of getting hit by a pitched ball. I told my oldest sister Michelle and we went to the baseball diamond and played catch. She said, “It’s okay. The ball won’t hit you.” Michelle was 10 years my senior and so she knew about the bigger world. She must have already known something about hearts breaking and how Elvis was too fat and dying. She could tell that a hard ball thrown fast could hit you, making you fear everything about fear while you waited in the batter’s box meekly holding a piece of wood.

“The ball won’t hit you,” she said.

“Because you can swing and hit the ball back.”

I believed her. In everything and anything I believed her. Like when she ironed her hair straight and said Brown Power because we are more than just lettuce pickers and janitors. She took me to the Teatro Campesino in Del Rey. Sitting there was a masked man, skullfaced and proud. Pachucos and Cholos, Chicanos and Mexicanos de Aztlán were on stage ranting and shouting about beauty and color and the rise of dignity were in their voices. It was there I heard all day music by Santana and War. “You can dance if you want to but believe me,” she said, “and everything will turn out good.”

The year before when I was nine she took me to buy tickets for a Peter Frampton concert in Fresno. On the ride home she played Frampton Comes Alive on the LTD’s tape deck. Baby, I Love Your Way she sang. I tried singing but couldn’t because my goldfish Riptide was found belly-up earlier that day. My mother said I had fed him too much and he had a heart attack and drowned. Michelle took a detour to Woolworth’s and bought me a big goldfish with an unbreakable heart and a pack of baseball cards. I’ll call you Frampton I said to the goldfish swim-

ming in the clear plastic bag. Michelle laughed. She was good at laughing.

You could wait all your life to believe someone, to call them your sister, your friend, the person that says they love you without speaking. You can have a summer just like 1977 when the road is still clear and the journey not too far.

You can have all these things and still not feel the heat of the days yet to come.

But after, when the LTD is in pieces on the roadway and Michelle is lost to you, you have the beginnings of nothing, a world hot with the heat of indiscriminate loss.

What I mean to say is that your heart is now broken and you are free to watch others break theirs.

All it takes is a late July evening, a sharp curve on a country road and a muscle car with faulty tires.

Many years later, a woman I knew revealed to me how she had lost both parents within a month of each other in the summer of ‘77. This was in Hutto, Texas, and she was a senior in high school. At the time, I thought to reassure her. Give her the warmth of a human voice, the emptiness of unbelievable words. “It’s okay. Life is a journey. It’s an adventure,” I said.

HOW TO SAY FRIEND IN GERMAN

H

BY DIANE STAYNER

er name was Annette, and in the autumn of 1986 her grand adventure crossed paths with mine.

I had been living in New York for the past five years, studying acting and writing plays performed far off Broadway, in church basements, school auditoriums, and coffee houses, feeling gradually more claustrophobic and needing to get back to mountain time. My abuela in Santa Fe offered to put me up on her couch, saying it was time for my cousin Abran to move off of it and reminding me I should be thinking about getting married. I hopped on a Trailways bus headed home.

Outside the window, as green hills melted into brown fields and finally became desert, with three days and two-thirds of the country behind me, I propped my swollen ankles on the empty seat adjoining mine, leaned my headful of dirty hair against the window, and slept. I slept right through Santa Fe. A sunbeam boring through my eyelid into my brain jolted me awake somewhere around Embudo.

“When’s the next stop?’ I asked the driver.

“Pilar. Plum Tree Hostel.” That’s where I got off.

The room was spartan but clean, and I saw a backpack propped against

the other bunk. For eight bucks I could share the space.

I met my roommate that afternoon on her way back from a hike. She was about my age, German, traveling alone around the world for a year on leave from teaching. Her hair was cut at different angles so that it stuck out in several areas, and it was dyed green, magenta, and blue. Her clothing was colorful, too. She spoke French in addition to German and English.

Pete, the hostel owner, had cooked up some fresh fish for dinner, and we sat around talking and drinking beer until late, renaming the stars in the sky.

Eventually, Pete asked if we would be going to the Taos Balloon Rally.

“You go up in a balloon?” asked Annette.

“Sure, if you want to,” he said.

“Diane, we have to go!”

Her elaborate earrings clicked as she nodded her head excitedly, deciding for me.

So we thumbed the 16 miles to Taos.

We were both experienced hitchers. I had thumbed home from Florida once, and Annette had stuck her thumb out on several continents. You learn to trust your instincts about when to accept a ride and when to turn one down.

We didn’t talk about close calls, but I’d had a couple and I thought she probably had, too. On a chilly evening with the sun going down and traffic getting thin, instincts can be pushed aside and fingers crossed, prayers said.

When we got to the field, there were two men inflating a blue and gold balloon. Annette walked right up to them and asked if we could go up. They said yes, if we helped them “chase,” we could ride for free.

As we floated over Taos pueblo on that bright morning, a gust of wind made the basket lurch and pushed us all into each other. Quite naturally, the pilot’s arm went around me, and there

it stayed.

When we landed, he asked if I’d like to go up again, I said yes, and that was the beginning of our life riding the clouds together.

As first-time fliers, Annette and I had some champagne poured over our heads. As we were drinking the rest, my pilot asked where we were off to next.

“Australia, I think,” answered Annette. She looked at me. “You come, too.”

I looked at him.

“Not just now.”

“Well, I am feeling restless. I need to leave soon.”

“Maybe we can catch up with each other later. We’ll keep in touch.”

The next day, she was gone.

Many years later while watching a true-crime show on TV, I saw a familiar face. As her name and story unfolded, I realized it was Annette, looking the same as she had when we met. She had been murdered in Australia by a serial killing father and son who hunted hitchhikers.

Though it has taken some time to get past the shock of her death, I’ll always remember how alive she was and how happy to be in a balloon that day.

Now every time I go up, I know she’s with me. She’s been with me all the time.

Diane Stayner is a nurse in Albuquerque and the author of a novel and a children’s book. She is at work on a second novel.

Our Judge ANNE VALENTE “A catchy opening and an interesting premise are things that will make me want to read more,” says contest judge Anne Valente.

The fiction author, who is also a creative writing instructor at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, says this year’s submissions were a strong bunch. The theme proved that a “great adventure” can be many different things. “Everyone did a really nice job of meditating on their interpretation of that meaning,” Valente says.

The winners won for different reasons. The fiction story is all about the now. “The chance encounter really drew me to this piece,” Valente says, “how impactful a moment can be and how that was rendered on the page was really exciting to see.” And the nonfiction piece is all about the self. “There’s this really beautiful moment towards the end about the build up being a build up toward skipping stones, and the notion that it’s a solitary endeavor and just for the speaker. That was really poignant for me.”

Details brought these short stories to life. “The topic really lent itself to including either directly personal observations, or a lot of research that broadened the world of all of these pieces,” Valente says.

“I incorporate a lot of research into my writing and that was apparent in these pieces, too.”

Sustainably GEARING UP RESPONSIBLY FOR THE GREAT OUTDOORS

he trouble with winter is that staying warm in the cold weather calls for lots of gear, and all of our manufacturing, selling and consuming takes a toll on the planet we call home. Here are few thoughts on how to be smarter and what to watch for as you look to dress yourself for the snowy days ahead.

STAYING WARM By now, the images of a garbage patch in the ocean and seabirds with bellies full of plastic have been widely circulated. But ongoing research into our oceans and waterways has found that much of the plastic in the ocean comes in the form of tiny microparticles—the kind that you can scoop up a cup full of seawater in one

Patagonia has also crafted their own standard for responsible wool, which adopts all those outlined in the Responsible Wool Standard and adds provisions about transporting animals, handling their slaughter and employee training in compassionate animal handling. Their ramped-up demands took a big hit on their supply chain, and for the time being, you’ll likely only see wool socks from them, and not their longtime staple merino baselayers.

Research suggests exposure to it may be linked to endocrine disruption and, potentially, to cancer.

Those chemicals were discontinued, so brands have transitioned to a version of that chemistry hoped to break down in the environment more quickly, but that’s seen as a short-term solution. The search is on for a longer-lasting one that walks away from anything in that family of chemicals. Columbia made a breakthrough in that effort with OutDry Ex ECO Shell, a PFC-free rain jacket, but that technology has not yet moved to the rest of their line. Other brands, like Royal Robbins, have pledged to clear PFCs from their entire line by 2018—not in time for this year’s holiday shopping, clearly.

So maybe save those purchases for next year.

Depending on your outdoor ambitions, options like those available from Fjällräven, which uses a wax-based water repellent in some of its gear, can also be a viable switch.

PFCs have yet to become a familiar acronym among consumers, so don’t expect hangtags to make clear what chemistry was used to manufacture your jacket.

If you’re investing in a new jacket or snow pants, it’s worth a little online research—and check and follow the care instructions to keep the performance up and restore the garment at home to refresh its water repellency.

Director Anna Biller (Viva, A Visit From the Incubus) merges throwback ’60s/’70s color schemes and cinematography with a dash of punk rock feminism and an obvious love for mod culture and witchcraft in The Love Witch. Think of it like a loving homage to the campy world of low-budget horror films with just a smidge of the ol’ Russ Meyer eroticism and a kickass pulp feel.

It’s like a cult film lover’s dream in everything from the wardrobe and soundtrack to sexy leading lady Samantha Robinson’s turn as Elaine, a troubled young witch who uses sorcery to make dudes fall in love with her. How cool is that?!

(Alex De Vore) The Love Witch: 1:40 and 6:30 pm Thursday Nov. 24. $8-$13. Jean Cocteau Cinema, 418 Montezuma Ave., 466-5528.

MUSIC A WHALE OF A TIME Santa Fe continues its love affair with all things metal as a new label dubbed Apewhale Entertainment launches this weekend. “After spending six years working in the [music] industry in Los Angeles and witnessing so many bands getting taken advantage of, we wanted to create a company that offered friendly deals,” co-founder Steve Hilson says. “Honestly, putting out records is somewhat of an addiction.” The party also serves as a release event for Bay Area progmetal act Cyborg Octopus’ debut full-length, Learning to Breathe, and for a second Apewhale release slated for December from Portuguese death metal act Colosso. (ADV) Apewhale Entertainment Launch Party: 9 pm Saturday Nov. 26. Free. The Underground, 200 W San Francisco St.

COURTESY THE ARTIST

Black Friday is hell for most. Crowds, mile-long lines and overly enthusiastic, turkey-filled shoppers who would do almost anything to get that last Beach Barbie for their kiddo make for a long, exhausting—and maybe violent—experience. Zane Fischer, co-founder of nonprofit creative organization MAKE Santa Fe, agrees.

“It’s become such an oppressively consumer-oriented, physically bodycrushing event,” he says. This year, thankfully, there is a more creative and comfortable option. Head to Opt2MAKE inside Meow Wolf and use your hands to make presents for your loved ones. The event may help kill your present-buying list without getting you killed at a superstore, and it may just foster your creativity at the same time. Fischer says the holiday crafting event is exactly the kind of opportunity MAKE aims to host. “The ethos of having a makerspace is to empower people to be inventive and creative on their own,” Fischer tells SFR. “If you haven’t tried the satisfaction of making something for yourself instead of buying it, you should, because it’s a great feeling.”

OOOOOH, WITCHY WOMAN

COURTESY STEVE BRISK

Abhidhamma AudioBuddha keeps it positive with Replenish

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

T

“

here’s a lazy way of using a computer controller, and then there’s a creative way,” Steve Brisk (aka AudioBuddha) tells me excitedly. “If a DJ is just playing the latest hits, they’re nothing more than a jukebox. But if they’re layering and creating and composing, that’s very cool, that’s an old art. … It goes back to classical periods when composers would take pieces from other composers to create new pieces, and they called it themes and variations.”

This is, to date, the single best explanation I’ve received on what makes a DJ—a good one, anyway—a worthwhile musical experience. Of course for Brisk, who is classically trained in the art of the piano and who came up in the punk rock and industrial scenes of the ’80s and ’90s, the curation of vibes and danceable music comes easy. Not only does he compose actual pieces of music for his sets, he sometimes layers almost 10 tracks together (I’m not 100 percent on whether or not this is impressive, but it sure sounds like it). “When I got into DJing I was able to think, ‘OK, I’m going to take this very post-modern approach and I’m going to remodel and recompose,’ and then I literally practiced for a year and a half before I ever played out,” he says. “It wasn’t like I put together a bunch of loops in Ableton and thought, ‘Hey! I’m a DJ!’” It was about seven years ago that Brisk dedicated himself to DJing, back when AudioBuddha was born.

Shortly thereafter, he entered what he calls “an extremely dark period in [his] life.” His longtime partner died after 13 years together, many of which Brisk spent as caretaker. “It really took a toll and my creativity suffered,” he says, “but music has always been my therapy, and with DJing at least I could say I was still involved with music.”

AudioBuddha as his mild-mannered not-so-secret identity, Steve Brisk.

It wasn’t like I put together a bunch of loops in Ableton and thought, ‘Hey! I’m a DJ!’ -Steve Brisk

The creativity began returning in waves about two years ago, which was right around when Brisk spearheaded Replenish, his monthly dance parties at Skylight’s upstairs mini-club, Skylab. “The whole point is to create an alternative to the vibe of most clubs,” Brisk says. “I find a lot of what’s happening now in clubs is actually quite disturbing … misogynistic and violent and negative … I don’t go for that.” Thus, he set out to create a space that was not only musically enticing and danceable, but safe, and that offered performance opportunities to DJs with a similar ethos operating throughout the Southwest. “The people I choose to work with have a definite X-factor and they’re providing a musical space, not just playing the latest hits and cow-towing to the lowest common denominator,” Brisk says proudly. “I don’t really believe

in genres as much as I believe that music should take you wherever you need to go, and this is a forum for musicians, for DJs, who can do that and who can provide an alternative to the rampant negativity.”

This means a generally blissful vibe, according to Brisk, and even as he shies away from classifying Replenish as a chill-out event, he does have difficulty assigning its specific sound. “A lot of the stuff we play or that you’ll hear can be very pretty and rhythmic,” he says. “A lot of the people I’m working with are really into the percussive and really into world sounds like Arabic or African music. ‘Chill-out’ is such a wideopen term, and really I’m more about the mood the music imparts.”

AudioBuddha welcomes Albuquerque-based DJ Berrett Scandalous to Replenish this Saturday, and with any luck he’ll also have a new album out sometime this winter. “I think of what I’m doing like the further democratization of music,” says Brisk. “It’s where you’ve got an idea in your head and with a computer or CDJs or a turntable you can create that.”

REPLENISH WITH AUDIOBUDDHA AND BERRETT SCANDALOUS 10 pm Saturday Nov. 26. $7.

ART SHAY

History Seer Art Shay’s America

BY MARIA EGOLF-ROMERO m a r i a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

L

ifelong photojournalist Art Shay says that his favorite photo shoot was with the legendary Marlon Brando. He tells SFR—during a phone interview from his home in Chicago—that the superstar asked Shay for lady tips.

“We were both the same age, about 27. He said, ‘Well, you’ve been around Life magazine a long time. Can you tell me how you know if a young woman is coming after you—is she really hot for you, or is she trying to advance her career?’”

Shay says he answered with age-old, sage advice: Marlon Brando and family dog, Libertyville, Illinois, 1950 “I advanced the same argument that had been historically advanced, which is, ‘You have to figure some is a really unique approach to how he made photothings out for yourself.’”

Now 94, Shay helped cultivate the iconography graphs,” Monroe tells SFR. Shay’s approach, eye and technique produced of American history throughout his 70-year career working for publications such as Life and Time mag- everyday images just as striking as his portraits of azines. He’s captured nine presidents and countless American elites. “There is something so uniquely celebrities, and his work is in the permanent collec- American about his experience and his perspective tions of major institutions like the Museum of Con- and it translates into his images,” says Monroe. “You temporary Photography in Chicago and the National have these wonderful pictures of children playing in essentially the ghetto of Chicago, and they are just as Portrait Gallery in London.

Shay’s portfolio has, in fact, shaped the public iconic as pictures of President Kennedy.”

Shay is a bit of a comedian, too. “There’s a place for experience of modern history. Viewers can see a representative sampling at an upcoming exhibit of humor and most photographers don’t handle it too his photography opening Friday at Monroe Gallery of Photography. “As you really study his work, it’s almost like the work of multiple different photographers,” says Sid Monroe, who co-owns and curates the gallery with Michelle Monroe. “There is an element of street photography, there is photojournalism and documentary photography, there are some elements that are autobiographical. He photographed his wife over the entire course of his marriage and made really beautiful photographs—if the viewer didn’t know it was his wife, it wouldn’t matter.”

Shay’s photographs may feature many different subjects, but each portrays a mood and a story. “I think there are a couple of components to that,” Monroe continues. “The first criteria for a photographer is that a single image conveys a story, captures the time and the emotion; the second part is less under the control of the photographer, and that is the window of history, being present in a moment. And I think what Art did was recognize that he was in the presence of history.”

The exhibit features about 50 of Shay’s photographs, representing multiple periods throughout his career. “What we found so astounding was the enormous range of his work. We tried to present and illustrate that Muddy Waters and his wife, Geneva, 1950 and, at the same time, show off what we feel

well, [but] I’d like to think that a lot of my pictures are funny,” he says, referring to a particularly humorous photo he snapped as he witnessed three delivery trucks marooned in snow drifts on an empty street in the Bronx, each emblazoned with the words “co-op.”

As the drivers assisted each other in escaping their snowy tombs, Shay’s shutter opened and closed. “So I have one picture in which I show the street trucks cooperating and getting each other out of the snow.

I thought that was pretty funny,” he says. “I was only 17. I still think it’s funny.”

Many of the events Shay photographed—especially on magazine assignments—were captured in the presence of a slew of other photographers, yet it is his work that stands out among the crowd and that we still see today. These assignments didn’t always include glamorous celebrities. “What makes one photographer’s image stand that test of time?” Monroe posits.

“Again, it’s that ability to really capture it,” he says.

And yet, Shay isn’t quite the famed artist he probably should be. Considering he has photographed everyone from Liz Taylor to Mohammad Ali and many of our nation’s most important protest movements, he’s supremely humble. “Art has been a very gentle soul,” Monroe says of the photographer. “He has worked hard and had great success—he hasn’t promoted himself, he hasn’t really reached for recognition. We feel so fortunate because we feel like we’re almost bringing an undiscovered genius to light. We want to be on the rooftops and say, ‘Hey, everybody look at this guy!”

THE CALENDAR

I’m a very sex-positive girl and I finally convinced my boyfriend to open up about his fetishes. I could tell he was ashamed and torn about sharing them with me, but I’ve been with my fair share of guys and surfed the net for years, and I was convinced nothing would shock me. Well, it turns out he’s into soft vore. I’m not gonna lie, I was a bit put off, but of course I didn’t tell him. I started looking for information about his fetish, and it’s not as uncommon as I thought.

I stumbled upon many websites for like-minded people, and my understanding of it is that vores really long for intimacy and protection. Is my interpretation correct? Also, after learning about it, I realized it’s less extreme than some of the stuff we usually engage in, like heavy BDSM, so I want him to feel fulfilled. Is there any way I can help him “act out” his fetish? He would like to be the eatee.

-Fully Understanding Lover’s Longings Vore, for readers who aren’t familiar with the term, refers to a spectrum of kinks that involve being eaten alive or eating another creature alive. Vore is divided between “soft” and “hard,” kind of like BDSM. Soft vore doesn’t require simulated bloodshed (it mostly involves fantasies of being swallowed whole), whereas hard vore involves the (imaginary!) ripping of flesh and the (simulated!) shedding of blood. Large creatures capable of swallowing and/or devouring humans are important to this kink, as you’ll discover if you do an image search for “vore” on Google. Since most vore fantasies involve creatures that qualify as fantastical beasts, i.e., large and nonexistent beasts (megakinkfauna?), vore fetishists are forced to construct elaborate fantasy narratives, build their own creatures, or seek employment at the Jim Henson Company (where they can sneak in after hours and repurpose vore-scale Muppets) in order to get off.

Before you can determine which way to go— assuming your boyfriend wants to “act out” his fantasies in the first place—you’ll have to get more details. Is he into the intimacy and protection aspects of vore? Is it an extension of a mouth and/or pregnancy fetish? Does an interest in bondage factor in? Learning more about what gets him going—besides the whole being eaten alive thing—is the first step.

Once you know exactly what it is about vore that turns him on, FULL, begin your explorations with role-play and dirty talk. Ramping things up slowly is always a good idea with varsity-level kinks, so try sexting each other and/or creating dirty vore stories together over e-mail. If your boyfriend wants to get physical, start with mouthy things like biting, licking, sucking, etc., combined with dirty talk about digesty things like chewing, swallowing, gastric juices, etc. If everything goes well, you try to bring his fantasies to life using props, costumes, and stage blood.

Try zipping him up in a sleeping bag to simulate being in a stomach—filling it with a gooey liquid will make it feel more like the inside of some fantastical beast’s stomach—but be careful not to smother him if you do “full enclosure.” (Smothering someone to death, intentionally or unintentionally, is bad. #TheMoreYouKnow) Finally, FULL, I want to commend you for not freaking out when your boyfriend shared his kink.

You listened calmly, you did a little research, and you gave it some thought. For that, I’m upgrading your GGG card to platinum.

Any advice for a first-time sex-toy buyer? I’m looking into vibrators, but I don’t want to spend a bunch of money on something that doesn’t do it for me.

-Very Into Buying Electronics

els she’s considering buying,” said Erika Moen.

“If possible, go to a shop that advertises itself with any of the following words: feminist, queer, LGBTQ+, sex-positive, woman-friendly, transfriendly, or inclusive, as these places tend to be staffed by people who are passionate and genuinely invested in helping folks of all walks of life.”

Moen and her partner, Matthew Nolan, have been making the Oh Joy Sex Toy comic for three years, which combines reviews of sex toys with really awesome/hilarious/radically-inclusive sex ed. And Moen, who has personally tested hundreds of sex toys, wants you to rub one or two out before you go shopping.

“VIBE should pay attention to the kind of action that feels good or gets her off,” said Moen.

“Does your clit like super-direct focus? The smaller the head of the vibrator, the more laserlike the precision. Do you like lots of overall, engulfing stimulation that covers a lot of ground?

The larger the head, the more surface area it’ll cover and the vibrations will be more generally distributed across the entire vulva, from outer labia to clit.”

For best results, Moen recommends buying two toys, VIBE, if you can swing the expense.

“Get a generic bullet vibe first,” said Moen.

“They’re about $15 to $20—it’s a model that has a control box you hold in one hand and a cord that connects to a simple vibrating egg shape that you hold in your masturbating hand. Try it out at home, and then based on how you did or did not enjoy it, purchase a more expensive, high-quality model ($60 to $120) based on the kind of vibrational stimulation you learned you want (or don’t want) from that first cheaply made model. Personally, I recommend the Minna Limon and Vibratex’s Mystic Wand for smallersized, decently powered vibrators. And then the big guns that’ll blast you to the moon and back are the Doxy and Vibratex’s Magic Wand (formerly known as the Hitachi Magic Wand). Best of luck to you!”

Oh Joy Sex Toy: Volume Three, a new collection of Moen and Nolan’s terrific column/comic, was recently released by Limerence Press. Follow Moen on Twitter @ErikaMoen.

A friend and I want to go to the inauguration in January with the intention of standing with our backs to the ceremony as a peaceful protest statement. A handful of people doing this won’t say much, but if hundreds/thousands of people did this, it could send a message to the world that the majority of us did not vote for him and are not supporting his hate. Do you feel this would be a worthwhile action to try to organize (along with giving money and time to organizations that support social justice), and if so, would you give voice to this idea to your readers/listeners?

-Peaceful Protester I’m torn. On the one hand, we need to stand against Trump and what he represents and his inauguration. Like his campaign and his nomination, his election is an outrage. On the other hand, flying is expensive and lodging in DC isn’t cheap. Perhaps our registering-our-oppositionto-Trump money could be better spent? There’s nothing about going to DC that precludes making a donation to the American Civil Liberties Union (aclu.org) or the National Center for Lesbian Rights (nclrights.org) or the International Refugee Assistance Project (refugeerights.org), of course, and symbolic acts of resistance (demonstrations, zaps, protests) often inspire people to engage in practical acts of resistance (donating money, monkey-wrenching discriminatory “registries,” urging local elected officials to not cooperate with anti-immigrant/anti-Muslim directives).

So if heading to DC to protest on Inauguration Day feels right and necessary, PP, you have my full support. But I’m going to spend the day making donations, baking cakes, and sucking cocks.

It’s Thanksgiving time once again, and this year we got to thinking that we were a little sick of the same old frozen bird. Which is how we came to discover Embudo Valley Organics—the home of the happy turkey (embudovalley organics.com). Manager John McMullin tells us they sell turkeys up to 30 pounds (woah!) and that the difference is in how the bird is raised. What other secrets might he hold from 22 years in the turkey biz? (Alex De Vore) Why go into the turkey business?

It just fit naturally into the ecosystem of the farm out here. For years we grew heirloom beans and corn, but in ’94 the grasshopper infestation was so bad that we started to wonder if it would be good to find a way to make the grasshoppers and asset. Turkeys fit right into that, and now we’ve got this turkey militia out there running around taking care of them for us.

What is the most popular choice?

It depends. Some people want that 16-, 17-, 18-pound bird, and that’s good, that will feed a family of five and maybe have some leftovers. We go up to about a 30-pound bird, and the restaurants love that size.

People are looking for a high-end, quality product and we’re certified organic, certified non-GMO. Our birds are field-grazed. ... “Free-range” is just a marketing term. It doesn’t mean anything. You can say something is “free-range” and not actually have to give the bird any open space. Ours have that, it’s why we call it “The home of the happy turkey.”

Is there a noticeable taste difference when the turkeys have happy lives?

Y’know, we’ll get people every year who tell us that our turkeys taste like they haven’t tasted since they were kids and they’d go for Thanksgiving with their grandma and she’d raised the turkey and killed it that morning.

People at least want to know where their turkey came from. You get out of it what you put in, like anything. It really makes for a very flavorful meat.

FOOD

L

ast week I asked my friends on Facebook what their favorite Thanksgiving cocktails were. They did not take me seriously. The most common answer was straight bourbon, which, ow, twist my arm, right? But I do like to show off a little on Turkey Day, so fancy cocktails are in order. Here are some warming, comforting, spicy drinks that will help you celebrate the harvest (and make it through the day).

POMEGRANATE CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL Pomegranates ripen just before Thanksgiving, so I often use them in my cranberry sauce—and in cocktails. If you have a fancy juicer you can put the arils (the pomegranate kernels) in there and zoom away.

For a smaller amount I squeeze the arils in a lime juicer (make sure to avoid the bitter white pith). But you know what works great? Put the arils in a gallonsize zippered storage bag and aggressively roll them with a rolling pin.

Don’t be afraid of the gin here. It keeps the drink from being too sweet or too simple. And although you can use cheap bubbly, you’ll have a noticeably better drink with a higher-quality bottle.

MAKES 1 · 1 ounce gin · 1 ounce pomegranate juice · 1 ounce sparkling wine

GLUHWEIN Mulled wine is how people in Germany and Austria make it through the colder months. If you’re planning on gathering around the chimenea after dinner, make sure you have a big thermos of this stuff to offer. It’s awesome. You can also make this with white wine—and of course you can do it with nonalcoholic wine, too.

Liquid Thanksgiving

MAKES 8 SERVINGS · 1 bottle red wine · 2 cups water · Juice of 1 lemon · 3 tablespoons sugar (or more, to taste) · 4 cloves · 2 cinnamon sticks · 2 clementines or 1 orange, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces Put all ingredients in stainless steel pot and bring it to a simmer.

Ladle the warm mixture into mugs and be sure to get some orange pieces in each mug. Watch out for the cloves.

If your family is making you crazy, hit your mug with a shot of brandy (or whatever makes the pain go away).

ORANGE SPICED MANHATTAN This sounds gross, but it is secretly delightful. If you mess with the proportions of a Manhattan and add a lot more bitters, you get something deep, earthy and mysteriously spicy. The bitters make your lips tingle and the flavor stays with you.

MAKES 1 · 1 ½ ounces bourbon · 1 ounce sweet vermouth · ¾ ounce Grand Marnier or Cointreau · ¾ ounce Angostura bitters · 1 half-dollar-sized slice of orange peel, for garnish Pour all of the ingredients into a shaker full of ice and shake for 30 seconds. Pour into a martini glass.

(I think it’s a little cold for ice, but you can also serve this on the rocks. I like to use one giant ice cube instead of filling an old-fashioned glass with little cubes. Stir until the ice melts a little.)

Garnish with orange peel and serve.

It’s not just about the turkey

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

Shake the gin and pomegranate juice with ice, then pour into a flute. Top with Champagne.

GINGER PIRATE Yeah, I made this with Captain Morgan, which, OK, normally I don’t have on my bar, but a sweet friend gave me a box of booze when she moved away, and … Enough excuses. This drink hinges on having at least two of the three ingredients be really good. And the cider kind of has to be one of them or else the drink is sweet and gross (try counteracting this with a little lemon juice). I say buy great apple cider and killer ginger beer … and use up that Captain Morgan.

MAKES 1 · 1 ½ ounces aged rum · 1 ½ ounces freshly pressed apple cider · 1 ½ ounces serious ginger beer · 1 slice apple Shake the apple cider and rum with ice. Pour into a short glass full of ice, top with ginger beer and garnish with an apple slice.

CRANBERRY MARGARITA Excuse me while I rant: I hate salt or sugar or weird stuff on the rim of a glass I’m supposed to be drinking out of. It’s like an obstacle course. I just want this booze in my mouth now. I don’t want to have to brush off clumpy crystals of something distracting.

That being said, feel free to dip your glass in lime juice and salt or sugar or red gelatin flakes or blue meth or whatever. If you really want to irritate the hell out of your guests go ahead and float some fresh cranberries on the top of this thing. No one will want to eat them! They will totally impede drinking! But it’ll look cute.

MAKES 4 · 1 ½ cups pure cranberry juice · ¾ cup fresh lime juice · ¾ cup tequila · ½ cup Cointreau or Triple Sec Pour all of the ingredients into a shaker filled with ice. Shake. Pour the whole thing into recycled glass coupes shaped like a saguaro. Enjoy!

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them Review: Half Magic Good news for Potterheads, really only OK news for everyone else by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

Say you’re JK Rowling and find yourself sitting on a property that practically prints cash. It would only make sense that you’d find it somewhat difficult to leave all that behind. Probably. At least it seems that way, what with the whole,

“It’s years later and she still has stories to tell from the extended wizarding world spearheaded by none other than Harry-mother-effing-Potter” thing.

And so, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is here in all of its glorious attempts to recapture the Potter magic.

We follow the hijinks of a young wizard named Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne of Les Misérables), a sort of conservationist/magic ecologist who travels the globe both searching for and educating folks about rare magical beasts and having just such a delightfully absurd yet appropriate name. For

magic or something and played by Colin Farrell) knows more than he’s letting on and anyway—Newt dresses in bright colors, so he can’t possibly be bad.

Potter-heads will no doubt feel excitement at the prospect of revisiting the world of Rowling’s creation, but make no mistake about the feel of Fantastic Beasts: It’s just not quite the same.

Sure, it’s packed with little in-jokes, nods to characters like Dumbledore and, for some reason, Graves is carrying around a pendant shaped like the deathly hallows (either Google it or engage in the culture), but if ever there were a film that seemed more like a money grab than a worthwhile story, this is it. Rowling herself penned the screenplay, and it’s not exactly full of stirring dialog or exciting character development or even a modicum of depth.

It sure is fun, though, and with a reported four more films in the series on the way, all directed by Potter veteran David Yates, there’s still time to do better. If nothing else, the huge reveal at the end is pretty exciting (no spoilers), just don’t expect to love it unless you’re already into this stuff.

FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM Directed by Yates With Redmayne, Waterston, Sudol, Fogler and Farrell Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 133 min.

SCREENER

yay!

yay!

those familiar with the fiction, we can think of Newt like a sort of precursor to the beast-loving Hagrid from the original run of books and films, especially in his inability to accept that some beasts are just plain dangerous. It’s 1926 in New York City and oh, man, wouldn’t you know it—a bunch of Newt’s beasts get loose! If that wasn’t hard enough for the guy, the American magic community sure is different than the British one to which we’ve grown accustomed via Rowling’s other works. Muggles (nonmagic folk) are here called “no-maj,” and it’s hard to decide if it’s insulting or just right that the American version of such a concept is the least creative descriptor of all time. Regardless, the point we’re supposed to absorb is that the plight of misunderstood magical animals is not entirely different from how the witches and wizards themselves might be regarded by the no-maj community were they exposed so, like, there’s a lesson in there about not being a jerk maybe?

Just as Newt comes to New York, a malevolent invisible force starts killing people, and our adorable little hero must join up with a disgraced magic cop named Tina (Katherine Waterston of Inherent Vice), her mind-reading sister Queenie (Alison Sudol) and a no-maj named Kowalski (Dan Fogler) who just wants to open a damn bakery but is swept up in the madness. Everyone obviously blames Newt and his magic creatures, but it seems like the mysterious Graves (who is like, the vice president of

GIMME DANGER

“By the time Gimme Danger wraps

we’ve got a new appreciation for The Stooges’ influence on popular music.”

MOONLIGHT

In a new work based on the previously unproduced screenplay In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue by Tarell Alvin McCraney, director Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy) brings us a romantic drama fueled by self-discovery. A young boy grows up in Miami during the ’70s and ’80s while struggling to accept his identity. We tour through three significant chapters of Chiron’s life, from timid boy to deluded man, as played at various ages by newcomer Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders from Straight Outta Compton and Westworld’s Trevante Rhodes. Chiron must navigate a veritable minefield of adolescent strife, from a drug-addicted mother, an antihero crack dealer named Juan (Mahershala Ali) and his budding sexuality with lifelong friend Kevin (Jharrell Jerome and André Holland). Moonlight focuses on the paradoxical question of who you are and who you are expected to be, as Chiron learns he can be open with Kevin sans judgment and utilizes that presence as a safe space. Chiron uncomfortably flits through adulthood, defying the stereotypes of gay and black men, but eventually becoming a crack dealer running the inner city of Atlanta. When Chiron and Kevin reconnect in adulthood, however, Chiron must evaluate who he has become and who he has portrayed himself to be. The gritty plot is beautifully accompanied by ambient

lighting and carefully composed scenes, further supporting the poignancy each character brings to the screen, and though Chiron’s voice is rarely heard, he expresses himself with his actions, whether violent or passionate. Moonlight thus becomes a cinematic masterpiece, a journey of love, loss and self-discovery that will leave viewers captivated by Chiron’s character long after the film is over. (Kim Jones) Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 111 min.

SEED: THE UNTOLD STORY “The diversity in our seed stock is as endangered as a panda or golden eagle or a polar bear right now,” ethnobotanist/ foot soldier/seed bank advocate Gary Paul Nabhan says in SEED: The Untold Story, a new documentary that aims to prove that these kernels of the link between plant and man, these doorways between last year’s death and next year’s life, are altogether beautiful and powerful. They require particular cooperation from their surroundings: freezing, fire, passing through the digestive system of an animal, the right mixture of warmth and water … then they are a bridge; reincarnation.

Get up close with studio lighting of nature’s secret and sacred art that makes up some of the most remarkable footage in the documentary, sometimes in motion— corn tossed into the air or time-lapse

footage of the lively sprout bursting from its case; sometimes still and silent—with color combinations and textures that captivate.

Yet mechanized farming and the power of agriculture chemical corporations on global food production could be changing the ending to a cliffhanger about the story of seeds. Or, as goes the vision from directors Taggart Siegel and Jon Betz, grassroots movements of farmers and adventurers, social activists and traditional agriculture preservations will write more chapters in the book.

While the documentary doesn’t dwell on doomsday, the bare facts are panicinducing: how we’ve reduced 98 percent of the vegetable varieties once cultivated and the existence of an arctic shelter that is built to withstand apocalyptic disaster, for example.

Siegel also produced Queen of the Sun: What Are The Bees Telling Us? and The Real Dirt on Farmer John and presents this third indictment of modern farming and food systems. Looking for more reasons to distrust Monsanto and its ilk? Tune in.

But viewers also find reasons to shrug away at least some despair. Voices of Native people and women take center stage, along with others who are steady advocates. Walk along the cornfields with CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Moonlight breaks up a coming-of-age tale into three distinct chapters. a Hopi farmer, remembering how to grow and plant the blue corn that arrives with only the Cloud People for irrigation; meet neighbors in Hawaii who passed a law thwarting pesticide tests; hear from a woman in India whose education initiative is working against a plague of suicide and economic disruption brought on by seed patents; follow an American into the Amazon as he’s waist-deep in water to dig out a root he hopes could be a future food source.

Watching this story should send you running for the kohlrabi and kissing your local farmer for his purple potatoes.

Sure, there are far-reaching government policy decisions that are amplifying this problem (and others), but here is one small way one can plant the seeds of dissent—the possibilities are endless. (Julie Ann Grimm) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 94 min.

THE HANDMAIDEN A clever grifter named Fujiwara (Jung-woo Ha) has painstakingly devised a plot to marry a crazy rich young noblewoman named Lady Hideko (Min-hee Kim) by posing as a Japanese count. Once he’s got her hand, he’ll commit Hideko to a madhouse, thereby claiming her vast fortune. It’s a two-person job, though, and Fujiwara enlists the help of a young thief named Sook-Hee (Kim Tae-ri), who assumes the role of Hideko’s handmaiden so as to gently nudge her toward marrying the bastard.

The plan seems simple enough but, wouldn’t you know it, Hideko is kind of spooky and maybe smarter than she lets on, and her perverse uncle Kozuki (Jin-woong Jo) has trained her since she was a child to read erotic stories aloud to groups of similarly pervy rich guys at swanky auction-like events. From the suicide of her aunt to her uncle’s massive library of sex stories, shit’s weird at Hideko’s house, but Sook-Hee starts to fall in love, all the while dealing with the count’s lust for money and the creepy goings-on at the estate.

Min-hee Kim and Kim Tae-ri’s onscreen chemistry is the stuff of cinematic legend, a perfect blend of overpowering lust and passionate love so believable and so intense that it’s almost difficult to watch, yet we cannot look away. Park grasps even the ugly elements of love such as irrational jealousy or the darker side of sexuality. It’s difficult to tell who’s conning whom, but that just keeps things interesting right up to the satisfying conclusion, and even when we’re positive we know how the chips may fall, our assumptions generally prove misguided.

Thus, The Handmaiden becomes a multilayered juxtaposition between sex and violence—an uncomfortable premise for some, certainly, but the type of story that practically forces us to examine our own sexual issues— especially the weird ones—and keeps us guessing the whole damn time. (Alex De Vore) Center for Contemporary Arts, Violet Crown, NR, subtitles, 144 min.

CHRISTINE If you were around in the 1970s, you may remember when newscaster Christine Chubbuck shot herself live on the air during a broadcast. In this lurid portrayal of the events leading up to her suicide, director Antonio Campos (Simon Killer) follows Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall from Christopher Nolan’s excellent 2006 magician-based thriller The Prestige) as she rapidly approaches her 30th birthday. Her life is monotonous and stagnant.

She’s a virgin living with her mother and an unrequited love for her co-worker George Ryan (Dexter’s Michael C Hall)—woes that accumulate and add to her pre-existing depression and suicidal tendencies.

After an office outburst, Chubbuck convinces her boss to cover a restaurant shooting, all the while concealing a revolver in her purse. As the tension mounts, technical difficulties force Chubbuck to ad-lib, which she does by pulling the gun and shooting herself behind the ear. Viewers will feel jolted

by Chubbuck’s suicide despite knowing beforehand the context of the film, but Hall’s performance as the tortured journalist is enough to tug heartstrings and jerk tears as she captures Chubbuck’s self-deprecation through tense grimaces and panic-infused breakdowns.

Ultimately, Christine lacks the personal attachment or testimonies to portray Chubbuck as a fully dimensional character, though Campos’ attempts to build a divide between audience and subject seem designed to keep us from any sense of comfort. We observe her always from a distance, as a viewer would watching the news; we see Chubbuck through a lens of a lens, furthering ourselves from a woman we’ll never be able to understand and distancing us from her pain.

(KJ) DeVargas, R, 115 minutes.

GIMME DANGER In retrospect, The Stooges’ impact on pop culture and music is so important, so obvious and so ahead of its time that it’s almost

MOVIES

yay!

Something about crackin’ corn from SEED: The Untold Story. criminal how difficult their journey became.

From Ann Arbor basement jam spaces in the late 1960s and a brief collaboration with David Bowie in ’73 to the 2003 Stooges reunion at Coachella (with Mike Watt of The Minutemen on bass) and their 2010 induction into the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Fame, Gimme Danger deftly points out that had it not been for the turmoil, we might never have had The Stooges we know. Iggy Pop and company experimented wildly and shirked convention—damning the committee-built flower power façade of the day and taking cues from the likes of MC5 and The Velvet Underground’s Nico (with whom, the film says, Pop had a brief romantic tryst).

All the while, the erratic sounds of albums like 1969’s The Stooges and 1973’s Fun House remind us that this is the very definition of proto-punk, and that most punk bands that came after looked to these guys as a sort of waypoint.

Iggy Pop becomes the focus of Danger, which is understandable given his continual time in the spotlight in everything from his work with Bowie, his appearance on the Trainspotting soundtrack with “Lust For Life” in 1996 and

even a brief acting stint on the wonderfully bizarre Nickelodeon program Pete and Pete.

Still, we wind up with a more complete idea of Pop’s story than the others. To be fair, original bassist Derek Alexander died in 1975, guitarist Ron Asheton in 2009 and drummer Scott Asheton in 2014, and while we do hear from the likes of Mike Watt and late-’70s Stooges guitarist James Williamson, it may seem they were merely drawn into Pop’s orbit rather than having any impact of their own.

This is not the case, and Jarmusch does his best to prove each and every member made important contributions despite fewer onscreen interviews. Regardless, by the time Danger wraps we’ve got a new appreciation for The Stooges’ influence on popular (and underground) music in a way that’s almost like a grittier, more tragic version of the story of The Beatles. For some people, this will reaffirm their own connections to music as an art form.

Others will find an arguably lesser-known— though no less essential—chapter in the history of rock ’n’ roll. (ADV) DeVargas, R, 108 min.

Week of November 23rd

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “Creative people are at greater risk,” said psychiatrist R. D. Laing, “just as one who climbs a mountain is more at risk than one who walks along a village lane.” I bring this to your attention, Aries, because in the coming weeks you will have the potential to be abundantly creative, as well as extra imaginative, ingenious, and innovative. But I should also let you know that if you want to fulfill this potential, you must be willing to work with the extra tests and challenges that life throws your way. For example, you could be asked to drop a pose, renounce lame excuses, or reclaim powers that you gave away once upon a time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) One of your vices could at least temporarily act as a virtue. In an odd twist, one of your virtues may also briefly function like a vice. And there’s more to this mysterious turn of events. A so-called liability could be useful in your efforts to solve a dilemma, while a reliable asset might cloud your discernment or cause a miscalculation. I’m riffing here, Libra, in the hopes of stimulating your imagination as you work your way through the paradoxical days ahead.

Consider this intriguing possibility: An influence that you like and value may hold you back, even as something or someone you’ve previously been almost allergic to could be quite helpful.

I suspect that description may fit you during the next four weeks, Taurus. You’re gearing up for some highintensity living. But please don’t be nervous about it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You are free! Or almost free!

Or let me put it this way: You could become significantly freer if you choose to be—if you exert your willpower to snatch the liberating experiences that are available. For example, you could be free from a slippery obligation that has driven you to say things you don’t mean. You could be free from the temptation to distort your soul in service to your ego. You might even be free to go after what you really want rather than indulging in lazy lust for a gaggle of mediocre thrills. Be brave, Gemini. Define your top three emancipating possibilities, and pursue them with vigor and rigor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Have you been feeling twinges of perplexity? Do you find yourself immersed in meandering meditations that make you doubt your commitments? Are you entertaining weird fantasies that give you odd little shivers and quivers? I hope so! As an analyzer of cycles, I suspect that now is an excellent time to question everything. You could have a lot of fun playing with riddles and wrestling with enigmas. Please note, however, that I’m not advising you to abandon what you’ve been working on and run away. Now is a time for fertile inquiry, not for rash actions. It’s healthy to contemplate adjustments, but not to initiate massive overhauls.

You aren’t ceaselessly restless, on an inexhaustible quest for unexpected experiences and fresh teachings.
