A driver is going to use an iPhone to take a picture of my bins? This is madness.

Great big recycling containers with microchips that don’t accept glass will encourage the use of plastic packaging, discourage the use of safe, sustainable glass, and further extend the tentacles of surveillance. Not “greener.”

I purchase no cans and almost no plastic. I do not have a car and will no longer be able to recycle glass. This is a huge step backwards.

Do you really think this is progress for our city? People are inherently lazy. The majority of people in this city will not lug heavy glass containers to a drop-off point.

You’re fooling yourselves if you think they will. In addition, the elderly and disabled will not be able to lift heavy glass containers to get them to the drop-off points, even if they want to. With this decision, the city of Santa Fe will be recycling less, not more. You think this is progress? You’re going backwards. Cleary this was not well thought out.

COVER, FEBRUARY 22: “BEYOND THE BAN”

ETERNALLY HOSTILE Santa Fe is one of the most racist towns I’ve ever seen. ... I understand where the Muslims interviewed are coming from. However, they each appear to have become quite adept at sheltering themselves from a seemingly eternally hostile society. While they claim to have experienced minimal bigotry, one of them even went so far as to conceal their surname.

Odd, for people who claim they feel so welcome. I’ve personally heard [racial slurs] used ... in the “City Different,” I’m willing to bet, at the very least, a hundred times. Still, I’m not portraying them as liars; they’re undoubtedly simply being cautious.

All that being said, I firmly believe law enforcement officers of SFPD are patient and very just. This comes from plenty of personal experience, rest assured. I’m certain that Troy Baker’s views (Feb. 22, “To Protect and Troll”) don’t represent the will or intent of the entire agency. Never thought I’d say this, but it looks I’ll be using the old cliché, “Don’t let one bad apple spoil the bunch.” In fact, I’d even go so far as to say they should be the shining example for all other law enforcement agencies to follow.

“SANCTUARY STRENGTHENED”

WHO IS DRIVING? I am a relative newcomer to New Mexico and more specifically, Santa Fe, having lived here only for 15 years. However, in this period of time, in addition to all that is great about our town, I am appalled how cavalierly so much of our citizenry disrespects laws of any kind—local, state or federal. Adherence to any law seems to be selectively optional so It is no wonder that we have, without regard to law, considered ourselves “a sanctuary city.”

I am wondering how our city government and even our state government would react to both selective and individual interpretation of its own laws? I particularly find the apparent attitude of our city government being one of tax as we wish and spend as we wish, without regard or accountability for distribution, to be shocking. Then to be followed up with new, improved and costly programs going in search for funding on a willy-nilly basis, e.g. unjust taxing of unidentified “sugary beverages” under a unknown health pretext of protection from self would have to fail to loosely underwrite pre-K education.

Last November, the C. G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe presented an evening when we gathered together to reflect and discuss how psychodynamic perspectives might be woven into observations of what was emerging in our country in the multi-dimensional, multivalent world in which we now live. Now, roughly four months later and two months into the Donald Trump Administration, we would like to return and ask: “Where are we now?” This is an urgent time, one in which we owe it to the soul and spirit of our country, and the world, to carefully listen to ‘the thoughts of our hearts.’ We’ll gather to strengthen our capacity to hold the tension between opposites, to talk to the “other,” to stay psychological when the collective urge is to split, blame, go paranoid, and become hateful. The evening will begin with truly brief 10-minute reflections by each panelist followed by open conversation between all those in attendance.

Forum takes place at: Center for Spiritual Living, 505 Camino de los Marquez, Santa Fe For details & information, call Jacqueline West, 505-984-0102 For expanded program details, go to www.santafejung.org

Legislature considers bill to better regulate prison use of solitary confinement—too late for those who’ve served time alone

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

J

oshua Saiz paces outside his mobile home in Farmington, anxiously puffing on a cigarette and, alternately, flashing a grin at his young daughter. The gravel crunches under his shoes as he takes six short steps up, makes a tight turn, then six steps back.

Always six steps up, six steps back.

The 40-year-old former oil field laborer can’t bring to mind why he’s so consistent. But his wife, Nakrista Saiz, has the answer: “I’ve asked him, too. That’s how many steps he could take in the cell.”

In 2013 and 2014, Saiz spent a year in solitary confinement at Santa Fe’s Penitentiary of New Mexico trying not to lose his mind.

“The days are just—the days are long,” Saiz said last year in an interview. “You’re just alone. You can’t see other people; all you see is a wall. … My mind would race.

I could see myself losing it, going crazy. I would sit there and tell myself, ‘Hold on, don’t.’ I didn’t want to go crazy, I didn’t want to lose it.”

He was suffering from deep depression when he was thrown into solitary in May 2013, the result of watching his other daughter die at 23 months old of unknown causes on a camping trip before his arrest.

Solitary, Joshua Saiz said, made it worse. Where once there was a gregarious chatterbox of a man, there now is an introvert who is sometimes paranoid, often

lost in his own thoughts and struggling to make conversation, even with his wife and child.

Saiz had spent time in a California prison as a younger man for drug-related crimes, but had, he said, turned his life around by the late 2000s. He was working in the oil fields and raising a family when his young daughter died on the camping trip.

“Now, my mind freezes up,” he said, more than a year after his release. “It’s like my vocabulary is gone, and I just worry. It’s like something bad is going to happen, and they’re going to send me back to prison.”

As legislators in Santa Fe debate a bill that would limit the use of solitary on people living with or exhibiting signs of mental illness—including severe depression—Saiz’s experience stands as a harsh reminder of the consequences 22 hours or more a day spent alone in a cell can have on a person’s mental health.

“That’s exactly the kind of thing we’re trying to avoid,” said state Rep. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, D-Albuquerque, the sponsor of HB175.

By the third month of his time in solitary, Saiz should not even have been in prison, let alone isolated confinement, according to a civil rights lawsuit he has filed against the New Mexico Department of Corrections and some of its officials.

“When she passed away, I just, I lost it, backslid, started drinking and just doing everything,” he said. “Yeah, just went crazy.”

JEFF PROCTOR

Too Much Solitary

Joshua Saiz spent a year in solitary at the State Pen. He’s out now, but far from OK.

Saiz was arrested on a burglary charge and was sentenced to probation. His addiction and depression worsened, and he was arrested again for violating his probation. This time, he was sentenced to four years’ prison time in May 2012. He passed his time with a clean record, according to his lawsuit, accumulating “good time,” and was on track for an early release.

A year later, a fight broke out in the pod where he was housed. Another inmate was stabbed. The corrections officers did not see the fight or who did the stabbing, so they charged every inmate in the pod with the assault. According to his lawsuit, Saiz was nowhere near it.

His good time was stripped, and he was sentenced to 240 days in solitary confinement as punishment after a quick hearing. Most of his possessions were taken. His telephone access was severely limited. Corrections officers escorted him out of his cell for an hour or two a day to exercise or shower.

Saiz filed appeals to prison officials, hoping they would overturn his punish-

ment. The first two were denied; the third was granted in August 2013, nearly three months after his time in solitary began.

But Saiz wasn’t notified until July 2014, 10 months later. That’s when an appellate lawyer at the public defender’s office noticed the error and brought it to the Corrections Department.

Even after he was notified, Saiz said, he spent weeks in solitary before being sent to the Las Cruces Correctional Facility and, eventually, home.

The Corrections Department did not respond to requests for comment, but is fighting his lawsuit in court.

Saiz is back to work now, both in a job and in trying to repair his relationships. A year in solitary changed him, he said.

“Before he went in, you couldn’t get him to shut up,” Nakrista Saiz said. “It didn’t matter if it was the poorest guy on the streets or the richest guy, he could relate to anybody. And now, it’s really hard to get him to talk to anybody really.”

Sodanomics Cornell University economist puts Santa Fe’s sugary beverage tax proposal in context

BY STEVEN HSIEH s t e v e n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

P

olitical war has unfolded since Mayor Javier Gonzales last November unveiled his proposal to impose a tax on sugar-sweetened beverages to shore up critically underfunded early childhood programs.

Radio ads blasting the tax clogged the airwaves. The mayor’s side sent out glossy mailers targeting two city councilors who oppose placing the 2-cent-per-ounce distributors’ tax on a special election ballot.

And the ugliness probably won’t slow down anytime soon. By press time, City Council looked poised to schedule the tax for a special election that could take place as early as May 2. Expect more ads.

While Gonzales and Big Soda plot out their next move, we’re taking a step back from this bubbly shitstorm to see how Santa Fe stacks up in a national trend that’s seen cities like Philadelphia and Chicago impose the levy.

John Cawley, a Cornell University economist, co-authored a paper on the nation’s first-ever soda tax, which kicked off in 2015 in the progressive stronghold of Berkeley, California. Since then, he and his research partner, David Frisvold of the University of Iowa, have kept a close eye on similar proposals popping up across the country.

Ahead of Wednesday’s vote, we reached Cawley via phone to chat about his research and how Santa Fe could learn from other cities collecting cash on Coke.

SFR: A lot of these taxes are debated in this broader dialogue of public health, whereas in Santa Fe the focus has been on early childhood care.

Have you encountered other cities where health is a secondhand conversation?

JC: Yeah, so that’s like Philly. Philly had talked about having a soda tax several times. And sometimes it was put out as a public health measure. Originally, the Philly soda tax was going to be 3 cents an ounce on caloric drinks. But then they got pushback, like, ‘You’re being a nanny

state. You’re being too paternalistic.’

So they did a 90-degree turn and said it would be a revenue-generation measure. Instead of doing 3 cents an ounce on caloric drinks, we’re going to make it one and a half cents on both caloric and diet drinks. From a public health perspective, that’s not actually a great idea, because you want to give people the incentive to switch from caloric drinks to non-caloric drinks. [Gonzales’ proposal exempts diet soda.]

One of the concerns some people have right now is rolling out the tax and finding a collecting mechanism.

How has that gone in other cities?

The answer is mixed. Berkeley really had to rush, because they passed it in November and had to have it ready by January. In early January, they just weren’t set up. They literally didn’t have instructions given out to stores. They hadn’t clarified how you pay the tax.

There was so much confusion that the city came out and said, “We’re not going to collect for another couple months.”

A criticism of the tax that’s been floating around here is that it’s a regressive tax that will disproportionately impact poor people. How true is that?

Any tax on food is a regressive tax. Poor people spend a higher percentage of their disposable income on food than rich people do. On the other hand, you could argue that obesity imposes costs on society. Obesity, and just generally drinking highly caloric beverages, contributes to diabetes and other very expensive medical problems that all of us end up paying for through Medicaid assistance, Medicare and group health insurance.

It seems like a lot of cities and proposals try to deal with that in part by earmarking these revenues for progressive causes, like childcare, which disproportionately benefits lower-income people.

What has the impact of these taxes been on health and consumption of soda?

There’s incomplete information on changes in Berkeley. But the evidence that exists suggests consumption went down. But in general, consumption of soft drinks went down, even without these taxes. So you really need a control group. This study from Berkeley was able

to subtract out trends in San Francisco.

You have some ideas of how these taxes could be better implemented or more effective. Could you touch upon that for a moment?

Obviously, the nice thing about city-level taxes is it allows each individual city to make decisions about what’s best for them. A limitation of it is any tax at the city level is pretty easy to evade. When I was in Philadelphia collecting data on the impact of the soda tax there, people volunteered to me how to avoid the soda tax by crossing borders to shop where it wouldn’t be levied. I didn’t even ask.

People are aware. If you want the tax to have more bite, it should be implemented at a bigger geographic level.

Another thing that would make sense is a tax that is a sliding scale. Currently, these taxes in the US are just one rate. It doesn’t matter how much sugar you have. Whereas in the United Kingdom, they’re going to be implementing a sliding scale with the logic that you want to give incentives to manu-

facturers to reformulate their products.

For example, Mountain Dew has more caffeine and sugar than other drinks. But under the current taxes, they pay the same tax per ounce as Coke.

I remember when Mayor Bloomberg first proposed limiting the sizes of drinks in New York City, and if I recall correctly, New York also considered some kind of soda tax. But there was uproar against those efforts.

What’s changed between then and now, now that you’re seeing cities pass these ideas?

What’s changed over time is, first of all, there’s more widespread awareness of the problem of obesity and diabetes.

Two, although I think a broader tax makes more sense, there’s been a political decision to focus on sugar-sweetened beverages as something that is particularly vulnerable for a tax hike. Nobody really needs to have soda. We worry about kids consuming too much. That focus has made it easier. Again, it’s not removing choice from people, it’s just signaling through a tax that there’s a public health problem or using the tax to internalize the external costs of obesity-related illnesses and chronic disease.

Have you looked at similarities between what’s happening now with soda taxes and what’s happened before with cigarettes or alcohol?

I think that’s why there’s been this narrow focus on soda pop, because it’s then a better analogy to smoking. You don’t ever have to smoke.

Sugar-sweetened beverages are also something you don’t ever have to have. Whereas the trick with taxing a much broader range of food is that people have to eat to live.

Then you might be more worried about the regressive nature of the tax.

Another thing analogous with smoking, in particular, is the industry is well-organized. And they’re very quick to advertise and defend themselves.

For our readers, is it fair to say you think these taxes are a good idea?

The way I put it is, I think there’s an economic rationale for these taxes.

THROWING AWAY THE KEY How the concentration of power has denied New Mexico’s ‘30-year lifers’ a fair shot at parole

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

S

ince 1985, OC Fero has lined his shelf with achievements.

The former high school principal was ordained as a priest in the Catholic Apostolic Church of Antioch. He has tutored young men on their way to GEDs and earned three master’s degrees himself, all in religious studies.

And in 1992, Fero, who is now 75, married Carole Royal, with whom he shares an abiding love of scripture, reading and far-ranging spiritual thought.

Attending the small ceremony in Los Lunas were the couple’s adult children from previous marriages. Fero’s tux was a little snug, as Royal tells it. The family continued the reception at her home, but Fero stayed behind at the Central New Mexico Correctional Facility.

As with all Fero’s accomplishments during the past 32 years, his wedding unfolded inside the walls of a New Mexico prison.

Fero shot his boss to death during an argument in 1985. After his conviction on a first-degree murder charge, a judge sentenced him to 30 years to life in prison. It was the first crime he’d ever committed, one he does not deny. He feels “terrible” to this day, he says.

He also feels it is time for him to go free and share a home with Royal outside the 12

state Corrections Department’s concrete, steel and wire.

And state law, too, says he is entitled to a fair shot at freedom.

But public records and interviews by New Mexico In Depth and SFR suggest Fero and dozens of others like him may be getting less than an honest chance at parole. That’s because the power to decide is concentrated in one person: Sandy Dietz, chair of the New Mexico Parole Board.

Fero is one of 435 people serving 30-to-life in the state’s prisons, a sentence created in state law in 1980.

Eighty-nine times since 2010, a panel of Parole Board members has considered release of 44 individuals. Some of those individuals have appeared before the board as many as four times. Just six have been paroled, giving New Mexico an exceptionally low grant rate for parole-eligible lifers compared to other states.

Dietz has said she is philosophically disinclined to release those sentenced for the state’s most serious crimes. She told the Albuquerque Journal in 2012 that, to her, “life means life.” It is a stance a former board member and others interviewed for this story corroborate.

They say she runs the board like an “autocrat” and stacks the two- and three-member panels deciding parole for the “30-year lifers” with herself and oth-

ers who believe, like she does, that people sentenced for murder and other capital crimes should never get out of prison, despite what the law says.

People who oppose Dietz say they have been fired from administrative jobs with the Parole Board or removed from their seats by Gov. Susana Martinez. The governor appointed Dietz to a second six-year term as chair in 2015, despite criticism.

The number of 30-year lifers continues to grow in New Mexico, now comprising 6 percent of the state’s prison inmates.

The low release rate and rising number of inmates are among the reasons New Mexico has not seen a dip in overall prison population, as most other states have, since 2013.

The practice of denying parole under Dietz ignores data that show older inmates are unlikely to return to prison compared to younger parolees. Many, like Fero, are aging into their 50s, 60s and even 70s. And as more of the 30-year lifers come up for parole, Dietz’ preference for denial threatens to further strain taxpayers in a state that’s struggling to make ends meet. As inmates age, it often costs up to 40 percent more to incarcerate them because of rising healthcare and other costs.

The cases of New Mexico’s 30-year lifers are diverse. Some were sentenced for multiple murders, violent rapes or killing

Dietz is operating within the framework of a 1980 law the Legislature passed to ensure incarceration for at least 30 years before someone with a life sentence can be paroled. It requires a hearing every two years once an inmate has served the mandatory 30. The state also has a life without the possibility of parole statute, which replaced the death penalty when it was repealed in 2009.

The 1980 law and the statute O’Neill is trying to change set the stage for the release of would-be parolees on the 30year lifer list in just 7 percent of hearings from 2010 to 2016 under Dietz, an analysis by NMID and SFR shows. New Mexico did not provide reliable data to The Sentencing Project, a national organization

that advocates for justice system reform, for a report the nonprofit published last month about parole-eligible lifers around the country. The organization’s research showed that, of 23 states that did provide figures, just two had a lower grant-rate than New Mexico for a similar time period: South Carolina (3 percent) and Wisconsin (2 percent).

The one-page forms that describe why New Mexico inmates were not paroled show they were denied based on criteria such as “nature and seriousness of offense,” the use of a weapon in the crime, and vague standards such as “parole at this time would depreciate the seriousness of your crime.”

Some list additional reasons, such as “poor adjustment in institution” and “inadequate parole plan and/or no parole plan.” On the vast majority of forms, Parole Board members left blank a section for suggestions on how the inmate could improve chances for parole, such as drug counseling or psychological therapy.

Fero’s denial slip is bare bones. It provides no clues as to how he had passed his time in prison or hints at how to get out on parole at a subsequent hearing.

Still, long before he received the slip, he dreamed of the day of his hearing—having counted many of them since Feb. 22, 1985. That was the day he murdered his boss, Gallup-McKinley schools superintendent Paul Hansen, during an argument over Fero’s employment, inside Hansen’s district office.

Fero served his time behind bars with a clean record and much regret since.

The shooting “should have never, ever happened,” Fero says now. “Remorse? If you prayed for 32 years for someone, for a family … ” His even, steady voice halts during a telephone interview from inside the Lea County Correctional Facility in Hobbs. “I felt terrible, and I still feel terrible today.”

Fero was given just three days’ notice before his hearing on March 24, 2015, he says. He was unprepared, but expected to get out. The hearing that’s supposed to be closed to everyone but the inmate and the board members quickly took on an ominous tone, however.

“I noticed they left the door open, and [Hansen’s] family is out there listening,” he says, referring to the family of the man he killed. “Dietz had already made up her mind.”

Hansen’s family did not respond to a request for comment for this story, and the Corrections Department would not make anyone from its victim advocate division available for an interview.

I was supposed to be the one to make it.

police officers, and are unlikely to be released because of the nature and number of those crimes and because they have had disciplinary problems in prison.

Others, like Fero, committed “crimes of passion” and have been model prisoners. They all deserve a fair hearing, but most don’t get one from Dietz’ parole board, says state Sen. Bill O’Neill, D-Albuquerque.“The board is not respecting the statute,” he says.

O’Neill is sponsoring Senate Bill 216, which would shift the burden away from potential parolees—who currently must make their case for release despite not being allowed to bring a lawyer or other advocate to hearings—to the Parole Board, which would have to make a detailed finding that the person is “unable or unwilling to fulfill the obligations of a law-abiding citizen.” It sailed through the Senate on March 2.

“This bill exists, honestly, because of the results of [Dietz’] leadership,” O’Neill says. “If the Parole Board were doing its job as, in a perfect world, we all expect it would be done, this bill wouldn’t be necessary.”

The measure enjoys some bipartisan support and the hopeful enthusiasm of O’Neill, a former executive director of the state’s juvenile parole board and a longtime criminal justice reform advocate.

But in an emailed statement to NMID and SFR, Martinez vowed to veto the bill if it reached her desk, calling it “tone deaf” and citing her 25 years as a prosecutor.

Dietz ignored multiple requests for an interview in the past six weeks, and Parole Board Executive Director Sherry Stephens declined to comment on her impressions of Dietz. Stephens says in an interview she had not witnessed the type of behavior described by others, nor had she received complaints about Dietz from board members since taking over as executive director in October 2012.

OC Fero and Carole Royal pose for a photograph during one of her visits to the Lea County Correctional Facility in Hobbs in 2016.

Fero says the two other board members, Verna Morris and Laura Chavez, tried to ask questions about how he had spent his time in prison, but Dietz interrupted and refocused the hearing to the murder itself. (Neither Morris nor Chavez could be reached.)

A few days later, Fero’s caseworker delivered the bad news. The denial devastated him.

“I really believed that I was going to be released. My archbishop believed. We had many officers at the institution I was at.

They thought I was going to be released,” Fero says. “I was supposed to be the one to make it. When I didn’t make it, it just discouraged me for so many others.”

Dietz occupies one of 10 currently filled seats on what is supposed to be a 15-member parole board composed of geographically and professionally diverse members who live near New Mexico’s prisons. The idea is that different members preside in two- or three-member panels for parole hearings.

But Mary Thompson, a former board member, and others interviewed for this story say Dietz stacks those panels, often with herself and others who believe that “life means life” in order to deny parole.

Dietz placed herself on at least 63 of the 89 panels and has voted for parole four times, according to records provided by the Parole Board. Only board member Caryn Apodaca has decided parole for a 30-year lifer at that same rate; she has sat on 66 panels and also voted to set four people free. No other board member has been on more than 33 panels. (Apodaca could not be reached for comment.)

Before her appointment to the board, Dietz worked for decades as a victim advocate in the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s Office. The experience of supporting crime victims and their families shaped her perspective, according to Thompson, and she often “bullied” fellow appointees who did not see things her way after her appointment to the chair by then-governor Bill Richardson in 2009.

Dietz even occasionally expressed her displeasure toward victims’ family members who were against the continued incarceration of a potential parolee, says Thompson.

Only one of the six 30-year lifers released in New Mexico, Donald Whittington, has violated parole and been reincarcerated—for a minor infraction involving an argument with a parole officer.

Thompson was on the panel that voted to release Whittington in 2010. She says Dietz was “furious” with the decision, and CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

that’s when the trouble really began.

“I think she was humiliated because she had promised these families these guys would never get out,” says Thompson, who spent her career as a licensed mental health counselor.

After the Whittington case, Thompson says Dietz began removing her from panels, even those that would’ve naturally included her because they were to be held near her home in Santa Fe. She says Dietz did the same with others who seemed inclined to “make independent decisions.”

“It was my position that you had to look at the whole case,” Thompson says. “There are cases in which someone has bettered himself in prison, and the underlying crime had risen out of human pain that caused him to do something he never would’ve done and would never do again.

Then there are people who are just cold-blooded murderers, who have been problems in prison and who should not be let out.”

In April 2012, Thompson sent a letter to Dietz that she had agonized over for weeks, laying out her case against the board chair. She knew it might get her removed from the board—and it did.

Another casualty of that time was Ella Frank, who had been the board’s executive director. Frank tells NMID and SFR it was clear that, like Thomp-

son, she had a fundamental disagreement with Dietz over how to deal with the 30-year lifers, although the two never had a face-to-face argument.

Not long after Thompson’s letter landed, “I was told the governor was making some changes and my services would no longer be needed,” Frank says,

We are choosing not to invest in programs and practices that help reduce crime.

We are invested in an emotional, overly penal policy because we are angry about crime.

Sandy Dietz, chair of the state Parole Board, believes “life means life.” The governor says that’s fine.

declining to speculate on the reasons for her firing. “They gave me 30 minutes to pack up my stuff, and I was escorted from the property.”

Each of the four votes Dietz has cast to parole inmates during her tenure as board chairwoman has followed news stories detailing the rift at the Parole Board, including objections from prominent defense attorneys to her style and practice. One of her votes to parole an inmate came after Senate Democrats, led by O’Neill, mounted an opposition to her reappointment over her handling of the 30-year lifer cases.

Dietz was reappointed on a vote of 31-7.

A Martinez spokesman did not respond to questions about the firings of Thompson and Frank, but wrote in an email that the governor “is absolutely confident in Ms. Dietz.”

New Mexico’s recalcitrance in addressing its “lifer” population is common in other states, too, according to a report released last month by The Sentencing Project. The study identified four factors as responsible for longer sentences and fewer releases for parole-eligible lifers: political pressure and parole-board meddling from governors concerned about appearing soft on

crime, parole boards themselves, changes in state law that make people wait longer for a first hearing, and a narrowing of rights—including legal representation— for parole applicants.

New Mexico checks all four boxes. In addition to Dietz’ pushing the law to its limits with Martinez’ blessing, the state’s 1980 law has meant parole-eligible lifers have spent longer terms in prison than they used to.

Nationally, the number of people serving life sentences—both eligible for parole and not—continues to rise, even as reform efforts aimed at low-level, nonviolent offenders have reduced the overall prison population by 5 percent between 2009 and 2015, according to The Sentencing Project.

New Mexico has bucked the overall reduction trend, partly because the state’s 30-year lifer population has swelled to 435, figures provided by the Corrections Department show. Just four years ago, that number stood at 367.

The parole-denial trend foreshadows a potential continued prison population increase in New Mexico. Each year, more and more of the 30-year lifers will become eligible for parole. And Dietz’ term as chair of the board runs until 2021.

New Mexico’s 30-year lifers who have come up for parole average 58 years of age.

Incarcerating inmates as they get older in New Mexico often increases the cost to taxpayers from about $35,000 a year to as much as $50,000, according to the Corrections Department. At least two of those who have been denied parole are living in the department’s Long Term Care Unit, which costs even more.

“They’ve spent more than a million dollars locking me up, and some of that’s money that could’ve gone to children or the homeless,” Fero says.

And a 2012 Corrections Department report presented to the Legislative Finance Committee showed that inmates released from prison between the ages of 18 and 29 returned at a rate of 45 percent.

That number falls to 3 percent for those 55 and older.

Nazgol Ghandnoosh, a researcher at The Sentencing Project and author of its recent report, acknowledges that building consensus for reform around those sentenced for violent crimes is more difficult than changing policies for low-level offenders. But, she says, long sentences with roadblocks to parole for those who are eligible contradict what judges expected at the time of sentencing.

“There’s no doubt that these people have committed violent crimes,” Ghandnoosh tells NMID and SFR. “They’ve killed people, and we will never get those

people back. But the real question is, what do we do to prevent that from happening to other people? We are choosing not to invest in programs and practices that help reduce crime. We are invested in an emotional, overly penal policy because we are angry about crime.”

O’Neill’s bill to change parole board rules regarding 30-to-lifers received bipartisan approval from its first legislative committee—Senate Public Affairs—following questions from GOP Sen. Craig Brandt of Rio Rancho. Brandt seemed genuinely puzzled by what the proposal would change if it were to become state law.

“I thought you served your term and you were paroled. And you got out,” Brandt said to Sheila Lewis, a retired state public defender whom lawmakers asked to serve as an expert witness during the committee hearing.

“That would be a logical conclusion,” Lewis, who once served as an appellate lawyer for Fero, told Brandt.

The hearing highlighted the varied support the proposal has garnered. A representative of the American Civil Liberties Union stood up to speak in favor. Next came Pat Rogers, a former Republican national committeeman whose support for the measure appears to go against the governor, a longtime ally.

Rogers says in an interview that his interest in the issue grew out of his realization that “the present system is not serving either the taxpayers or the inmates.”

He adds that he has advocated for paroling an inmate named Reilly Johnson, who was convicted of first-degree murder in 1982. Johnson has three times been denied parole, each by panels that included Dietz.

“He’s now been in prison for 36 years for a very serious crime,” Rogers says.

“He’s got all sorts of degrees in prison.

“I don’t think it’s upholding conservative principles to put someone in jail and throw away the key,” Rogers says. “The system is good at condemning. Our system is not particularly good at providing people the keys to succeed on the outside.”

Fero’s case may be exceptional among the 30-year lifers, but it is not a complete anomaly.

At least one man on the 30-year lifer list was granted a new trial: Carl Case, who was convicted in 1982 of first-degree murder and first-degree criminal sexual penetration in the rape and death of Nancy Mitchell in Carlsbad. The state’s key witnesses recanted their testimony after Case’s original trial, and DNA testing performed years later did not link him to the crime.

THROWING AWAY THE KEY Despite that, Case has been denied parole three times, all by panels that included Dietz, who each time listed “history of sexual deviancy” among her reasons for denying him.

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned a federal district court judge’s new trial order.

“Carl Case is innocent, having been wrongfully convicted 35 years ago for a crime he did not commit,” Marc Lowry, one of Case’s appellate lawyers, tells NMID and SFR, adding that Case has a relatively clean prison record and a viable parole plan that includes employment opportunities.

Meanwhile, three inmates have died awaiting hearings—including Robert Chavez, who killed his wife and was convicted in 1981. Thompson, the former board member, remembered the case and says that over the years, Chavez’ daughter forgave him for killing her mother and told the Parole Board that she wanted her father to live with her in Arizona after his release. Dietz, according to Thompson, was unmoved and told the daughter as much. With another board member, she denied Chavez’ parole in November 2011.

He died four months before his second hearing was to take place.

Larry Merriman died in 2014 after two denials. Randy Pense lost three chances at parole and died last fall.

Fero says he hopes O’Neill’s reform bill passes. Even if it doesn’t, he still has hope that he may be released after an upcoming hearing. He says he wants to live with his wife and provide holy sacraments to homeless people.

For her part, Carole Royal says she never expected to be married to a man in prison. The two met as friends and colleagues, principal and teacher, in the Gallup-McKinley school district two years before Fero killed Hansen. They remained in touch and close even after Fero’s incarceration.

Royal was in denial about her love for Fero for years, she says, until one day in 1991, it hit her after visiting him in prison.

They were married months later.

She believes he will be released one day.

“In fact, I am so determined that I’ve said that if he dies in there, I’m bringing his body home,” Royal says, thumbing through a scrapbook of photos showing the couple during prison visits through the years. “He’s coming home, one way or the other.”

Can We Hang?

New Mexico wants to welcome outdoor industry trade show, but fitting it here could be a long shot Mexico has a tradition of stakeholders coming together to support conservation and the outdoor recreation industry.”

Citing the state’s longstanding support for public lands, the Democratic congressman positioned the Land of Enchantment as a committed counterpoint to the Beehive State, where lawmakers want the feds to hand over land. Already, outdoor recreation provides New Mexico with more than $450 million in tax revenue, directly supports 68,000 jobs and produces $6.1 billion in consumer spending each year. Outdoor Retailer produces

wice a year, the outdoor industry gathers to showcase its newest gear, talk policy and rally around campaigns to increase diversity and access to public lands. Brands build multi-level booths with slacklines across their upper story, freeze chunks of ice to test the traction on their new footwear and make it rain all day on jackets treated with a new formula for water repellency.

Retailers browse what could line their shelves in the seasons to come and spend a day at a local ski area or reservoir testing out new skis and stand-up paddleboards.

Some 40,000 people visit Salt Lake City, the show’s home for the last two decades, in conjunction with this event.

But last month, the trade show’s host organization, the Outdoor Industry Association, announced it’s leaving Utah after a contentious discussion over how the state’s legislators approach public lands. US Sen. Martin Heinrich was quick to throw New Mexico into the list of options.

“As you solicit proposals for a new venue to host the Outdoor Retailer trade show, I would urge you to give strong consideration to the state of New Mexico,” he wrote to the president and CEO of Emerald Expositions, parent company for the trade show. “New Mexico’s vibrant and vast public lands are a vital part of the state’s culture and economy, and New

some $45 million in annual economic impact for Utah. Utah’s loss, the senator has said, could be New Mexico’s gain.

The bidding process is confidential, says Emerald Expositions communications staff, and they’re unable to share any details on the process.

While Heinrich urges the group from Capitol Hill, the OIA is watching how New Mexico’s lawmakers handle outdoor recreation. On their list is House Bill 485, which would combine the state’s economic development and tourism departments into a single entity. But there’s also Senate Bill 364—sponsored by Minority Floor Leader Stuart Ingle (R-Portales), a farmer—which would require the governor, commissioner of public lands, and the attorney general to determine if a national monument “is confined to the smallest area necessary.”

That sounds not unlike what’s going on in Utah, where legislators are calling

Could Utah’s loss be New Mexico’s gain? It’s not looking good.

on President Trump and Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke to overturn the Bears Ears National Monument. President Obama just designated the monument on December 28 to protect the archaeological resources found in that network of red sandstone canyons.

Even if ideologies align, there’s the question of logistics.

“The senator’s thoughts and spirits are ones we completely agree with, that Santa Fe and New Mexico have all of the pristine and wonderful outdoor type of opportunities that any of the other great Western states have,” says John Feins, with Tourism Santa Fe. But the simple issue is that the show had been busting at the seams, even in the Salt Palace Convention Center’s 675,000 square feet of space. Booths and displays sprawl into nearby parking lots and lawns during the summer show, the larger of the two. Santa Fe has just 40,000 square feet. Visit Albuquerque President and CEO Tania Armenta says she’s waiting to see what Emerald outlines in its official request for proposal and then will decide how to move forward.

Even if the show were to explore a two-city convention and use both Albuquerque, with a convention center offering just 270,000 square feet, and Santa Fe’s facilities, Feins says, that’s less than half of the space the show currently uses.

“We’ve been having a discussion, but we’re looking at their floor plan. We’ve been looking at their needs, and it’s just going to be a big uphill climb, despite how appropriate our setting is,” he says. “Spiritually and theoretically it’s truly the home for the show, but infrastructurally, we’re facing an uphill battle here.”

Albuquerque is a little more optimistic. That city hosted the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance convention last year and will again this June. The alliance just combined forces with Outdoor Retailer and expects to merge the shows in 2018.

Light Worker Get bent, light “I think what fascinates me about light is that it’s not something that you can grasp,” says artist Sophia Dixon Dillo, whose new installation and light box series opens Friday at Winterowd Fine Art. Each piece features simple patterns layered on brightly lit boxes, emitting warm light. Thousands of coppery metallic embroidery threads stretch from floor to ceiling in the classic adobe building, creating bands of glowing, golden light, which arch and bow suspended in the room.

Dillo’s luminescent levitating harplike work is the kind that gets better the longer you spend looking at it—it’s mesmerizing. This shiny-thing quality is a big part of why Dillo works with light. “It emphasizes the quality of transience or ephemerality that you don’t always get in work like a painting, where it tends to be more static,” she explains.

The artist’s comparison of her work to painting is natural, since she spent art school—at Colorado State University and the Lacoste Ecole des Arts in the South of France—on the path to be a painter. “I was really interested in artists like Mark Rothko and Agnes Martin,” she says, and these influences peer

through her works. The arching streaks of copper light, for example, mimic Rothko’s broad, sweeping brushstrokes, and her light boxes encapsulate the soul of Martin’s minimalist patterns.

Dillo became enamored with string and light after she did an installation late in her college career, and she never looked back. These light-bows are hugely dependent upon the space in which they are created, requiring a bit of foresight from the artist. With measurements in hand, she says, “I make a 3D model, and that way I can really feel what it would feel like to navigate through the space. I take into consideration doors and where people would walk so that people aren’t running into the pieces.”

Her ultimate goal? Presence. “I am really interested in just slowing people down,” she says, “and bringing them into the immediate experience.”

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

We’re pleased to announce the FINALISTS of the 2017 SFR Photo Contest.

Prize winners will be revealed at the VIET THANH NGUYEN with

MAXINE HONG KINGSTON

SFR PHOTO SHOW ON APRIL 25.

SOLD OUT

Viet Thanh Nguyen’s debut novel is The Sympathizer, winner of the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. It is a spy novel set during and just after the war in Vietnam, told in the form of a forced confession by a spy for the communist-held North. The New York Times said of the book, “The great achievement of The Sympathizer is that it gives the Vietnamese a voice and demands that we pay attention. Until now, it’s been largely a one-sided conversation.” Nguyen’s other books are Nothing Ever Dies: Vietnam and the Memory of War and Race and Resistance: Literature and Politics in Asian America. His honors include the Edgar Award for Best First Novel from the Mystery Writers of America, the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction from the American Library Association, the First Novel Prize from the Center for Fiction, a Gold Medal in First Fiction from the California Book Awards, and the Asian/Pacific American Literature Award from the Asian/Pacific American Librarian Association. He is the Aerol Arnold Professor of English and an associate professor of American studies and ethnicity at the University of Southern California. Nguyen’s short story collection, The Refugees, was published by Grove Press in February 2017.

Maxine Hong Kingston’s debut books include The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts, Tripmaster Monkey, and China Men. Her memoir I Love a Broad Margin to My Life was published in 2012.

MUSIC

FIRST

Wisdom Lost, Wisdom Found

HEAR, HERE We’ve got our ear to the ground in search of interesting tidbits of music-related information, Santa Fe. Are you recording an album? Hitting the road to tour? Thinking of going major-label? We want to know about it, so email your best friend Alex De Vore at alex@sfreporter.com.

What I learned about life, music, the universe, everything while I was totally unconscious and having my wisdom teeth removed

L

ast week, after years of putting it off (and only because my ladyfriend was like, “Dude, get your life together!”), I had my wisdom teeth yanked. Now, this probably doesn’t sound so bad, but the way they’d shifted and impacted themselves meant they’d gone so far as to actively destroy other teeth in my mouth. Other teeth that were also yanked.

Other teeth I already miss dearly because, as it turns out, I love crunchy/solid/notjust-yogurt foods.

Anyway, I never much liked being put under, due in part to a tonsillectomy when

Basically, I thought I’d probably die.

But I didn’t.

I was a kid after which a doctor told me nonchalantly, “Wow, man, it took you, like, a really, really long time to come back, and we were terrified!” Basically, I thought I’d probably die.

But I didn’t.

Instead, I spent the morning in twilight sleep, unaware of the brutality and in a place that allowed my mind to wander to places on its own. My ladyfriend lent me headphones, and the plan was to listen to music, but I was out before I remembered I meant to do so. The good news, however, is that, like a coma victim who somehow wakes speaking fluent Spanish, I am now able to explain why songwriters like Ben Barnett and (old) Rivers Cuomo and Blake

Schwarzenbach and David Bazan really work for me in a way that’s more well-realized than, “It sounds good.”

See, I’ve always gravitated toward these emotional scribes in part because I love a good wallowing, but my unoccupied brain brought me to the realization that albums like Jawbreaker’s Dear You or Pinkerton by Weezer or Kind of Like Spitting’s $100 Room are less about things being done to someone, and more about people doing things to themselves. Woah.

OK, so a song that is so deeply personal—even to the point that it makes its creator look like an asshole—has intrinsic value in its unabashed honesty, and that means something in a world with love songs that sound and read just like other love songs and that are, frankly, boring.

Father John Misty came into my head a lot as well, as the songs from his forthcoming Pure Comedy album have been stuck in my head in an “Oh, wow, this reminds of me of Harry Nilsson!” kinda way. Misty’s work is becoming more intense than his previous efforts, and he’s evolving from a simple sad-song guy to someone with something to say—which is not always easy these days but, to borrow from something else I recently wrote, it’s kind of like when NOFX released The Decline and we all suddenly realized they could also write more meaningful songs. I look forward to Pure Comedy’s April 7 release.

Don’t think it’s lost on me that most of these things my unconscious mind visited are older. Hell, even OK Computer is 20 years old this year (for real—Radiohead released it on May 21,1997). But I kind of can’t tell if that means I’m loyal, I’m stubborn

Promoter Jamie Lenfestey of AMP Concerts is hittin’ the big fiveoh on Friday March 10, and will celebrate accordingly during a show from Brooklyn-based funk act Turkuaz this Saturday at Skylight. Saturday is Alex’s actual birthday, so send presents to both of us. Happy birthday, nerds, Alex says, while feeling weird that he and Jamie are almost b-day twins.

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

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

TRACKS

or I’ve just written about music for so long that I can no longer enjoy it or even simply consume it from a vantage besides clinical/ critical. I hope that’s not it, though, because in the aftermath I’ve found myself listening to all kinds of things (with headphones … y’know, so you can really hear it all), too weak to tear it apart.

Local musician Bill Palmer, for example, recently put out some new stuff that I’ve been slowly getting into, and it’s working for me. Palmer feels his feelings so much, it’s obvious; I like that. Or at a recent show, the singer-songwriter Paris Mancini, who goes by PSIRENS and does ethereal pop weirdness, reminded me that really meaning it is sometimes everything. Maybe it was her loops and loops that stuck in my head, but trust me, it’s great music to the soundtrack of your own unconsciousness. I pulled out Luke Carr’s Pigrow again which, in my opinion, is about the best locally made album of the last decade and focused on the layers he’d created. If I die, play this thing at my funeral.

But the ultimate point my brain made to me while I floated freely through the void was that I need to let go of some of this clutter in there and re-teach myself what it is to love new sounds. I’ll totally meet you guys halfway if you give me a little time to heal.

Albuquerque/Santa Fe songsmith Brian Botkiller—who wrote a staggering 52 songs last year and released a full-length record titled In Case of Revolution—is writing new material as we speak for his next album.

Botkiller is pissed as hell and not gonna take this anymore, and we love it. Become acquainted at brianbotkiller.com.

I briefly touched on this in the full column to your left, but seriously, Bill Palmer’s newest solo album, These Days, is super-good. Palmer’s songwriting sensibilities really dig deep into his personal shit, but they’re universal. Visit billpalmermusic.bandcamp.com to learn why.

OK, this isn’t local or anything, but At the Drive-In is playing shows again, and that’s just, like, a really big deal for a lot of people. Get tickets if you can and go (the closest dates right now are in El Paso in May and Denver in June). This is important. Failing that, buy Relationship of Command and thank us later.

Shia LaBeouf’s short-lived Albuquerque performance art piece explained

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

T

nouncement: HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US would reopen at the Historic El Rey Theater in Albuquerque.

LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner have been at work tweaking their formula for some time, and their reputations preceded them. The trio’s first project, in 2014, sent LaBeouf onto a red carpet with a paper bag over his head that read “I Am Not Famous Anymore.” A follow-up piece trapped LaBeouf in a room wearing the same bag, and allowed strangers a few moments alone with him.

When the mask came off, the project literally hit its stride. LaBeouf jumped rope on a live stream and encouraged

he artist trio known as LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner use three principal materials in their work: The pixelated fabric of an eternal live stream, a thorny black thicket of hashtags and Shia LaBeouf’s large eyes and boyish face, in turns emanating profound sadness, pure joy and wild desperation.

All of these elements are present in their latest project, “HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US.” On Inauguration Day 2017, LaBeouf, Nastja Säde Rönkkö and Luke Turner installed a camera and microphone on an exterior wall of the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, New York. Above the shiny black eye was the title of the piece in capital letters. “HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US,” it screamed, prompting passersby to repeat the declaration into the camera and tweet it to the world. A live stream on the website hewillnotdivide.us was supposed to continuously broadcast the “participatory performance artwork” on Donald Trump’s home turf until the end of his term.

Exactly 21 days later, the museum took down the piece—1,439 days short of its intended run. The project had started as a peaceful protest, populated by young New Yorkers in winter jackets and rain ponchos who took up the titular chant at all hours. LaBeouf, the movie-star-turned-artist, often showed up to act as head cheerleader. Then neo-Nazis got wind of the virtual soap box, and showed up to chant racist slogans.

The work’s anti-climax was LaBeouf’s on-camera arrest after a physical altercation with one of the trolls. Eight days after the video feed went down, the artists That bag would have cost him made a bewildering an10 cents around here.

COURTESTY THECAMPAIGNBOOK.COM

Long Division

A&C

This was one of the more tame encounters with HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US.

London hipsters to join him in a piece called “Meditation for Narcissists.” They circled Amsterdam’s Stedelijk Museum 144 times to complete an art theory-inspired “#METAMARATHON.” Then came “#INTERVIEW,” which presented a transcript of emails between LaBeouf and a fawning journalist, and ended with a live stream of the two staring at each other in silence for an hour. In “#ALLMYMOVIES,” LaBeouf watched every film in which he has appeared in reverse chronological order and shot the world’s longest reaction video.

Suffice to say that the collective is little more than a marketing firm for LaBeouf. The Transformers star flew off the rails of the Hollywood industrial complex in 2014, after he was caught plagiarizing the writing of beloved graphic novelist Daniel Clowes for an independent film project. In “#INTERVIEW,” LaBeouf writes that the scandal caused an “existential crisis” that sent him in a new direction.

Apparently, though, pillaging from other artists is a hard habit to break. LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner’s works are slicker, dumber versions of works by Vito Acconci, Marina Abramović, Josh Harris, Yoko Ono and a number of other performance art pioneers. LaBeouf might come with a built-in audience, but that doesn’t mean the art world should indulge this derivative nonsense.

After closing in New York on Feb. 10, the “HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US” live stream sprung back to life on Feb. 18 with a view of Seventh Street SW outside the El Rey Theater. At first the New Mex-

ican manifestation of the work seemed a little more relaxed, if only because downtown Albuquerque isn’t near as crowded as the streets of New York. In the project’s first evening, LaBeouf’s presence at the installation drew a crowd that blocked the street, but everyone minded their manners.

Three days in, someone tagged the wall with the message “Reject False Idols.

Do It!” using hot pink spray paint. The artists quickly cleaned it up. Then, early on Feb. 23, three gunshots rang out on Eighth Street near the theater. “Somebody just got shot a block away,” a man narrated to the camera.

An investigation by the Albuquerque Police Department turned up nothing, but the live stream was again suspended.

“We have taken the stream down after shots were reported in the area,” LaBeouf tweeted at 3 am that day. “The safety of everybody participating in our project is paramount.” By the end of the day, the Albuquerque season of “HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US” was officially canceled. New Mexico’s stint babysitting runaway NYC art rascals lasted just seven days.

What to make of all this? As a protest, this is the pinnacle of 21st-century slacktivism. Setting up a camera for anyone to scream into might not be the most effective method of resistance, but it’s a great way to capitalize on a political moment and get people to stare at your famous visage for another 15 minutes. As an art project, “HEWILLNOTDIVIDE.US” is a challenge to millennial artists to make something that transcends LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner’s lame gimmickry and tired themes.

Shia LaBeouf is not smarter than you, he’s just more famous. But he won’t be forever.

My wife and I have a decent sex life. Pretty vanilla, but we’re busy with work, chores, and life in general with two small kids, so I can’t complain too much. About a year after having our second kid, I went down on my wife. As usual, we both enjoyed it greatly.

Unfortunately, about a week later she got a yeast infection. She attributed the YI to the oral, and since then I am strictly forbidden from putting my mouth anywhere near her pussy. I understand that YI are no fun, painful, and embarrassing. I understand her reluctance. But I’ve never heard of oral sex causing YI, although I realize I might be misinformed.

How do I win back her trust to let me go down on her? No one is about to mistake me for Sting when it comes to my endurance during intercourse, so having the ability to pleasure her without penetration is important.

-Dirty Mouth Guy “Yeast is not an STI,” said Dr. Anika Denali Luengo, an ob-gyn in Portland, Oregon. “Yeast (candida) is a normal denizen of the vagina, and an infection simply means there is an overgrowth of it on the vulva or in the vagina.”

People are likelier to get a yeast infection— or likelier to experience yeast overpopulation, since yeast is a citizen of Vagina City—when they’re on antibiotics, they have diabetes, or their immune system has taken a hit.

“Oral sex can be a slight risk factor in transmission of candida,” said Dr. Denali Luengo, “but the frequency of candidiasis is not increased by the frequency of sex, so it may not happen next time. Also, if her symptoms developed one week later, it could have been pure coincidence.”

A coincidence—that was my hunch when I read your letter, DMG. “Luckily, they are easy to treat—over the counter miconazole or the single-dose pill fluconazole—and are basically just a nuisance and present no major health risks,” said Dr. Denali Luengo.

I got divorced five years ago after a 15-year marriage that produced two children who are now 13 and 6. When their mother moved out, she left pretty much everything. I took the wedding mementos—dress, video, photo albums—and threw them in a trunk. I have not looked at them since. Last night, my girlfriend of almost a year told me she thinks it is “really fucked up” that I still have this stuff. Is it?

-Box Of Mementos Bothers It’s not, BOMB. Your marriage is a part of your past—it shaped the man you are today, the man your current girlfriend claims to love— and your children are a product of that marriage. Even if you never looked at those items again, even if they held no sentimental value for you (and it’s fine if they do), one day your children might want to see those pictures or watch that video or handle that dress. And any attempt to erase your first marriage—by stuffing those items down the memory hole— could be interpreted by your children as evidence that you would have erased them too, if you could have.

Your girlfriend is a grown-up, and she needs to act like one. She’s free to think it’s fucked up that you still have those wedding mementos, of course, but it’s ultimately none of her business and she needs to STFU about it.

of months ago, and now the floodgates have opened. I get on Grindr and have sex up to three times a week. I feel in my gut that this isn’t a compulsion so much as an exploration, and something I need to get out of my system while I search for a monogamous relationship.

As long as I’m safe, do you see any problem with me fucking around for a while?

-Please Don’t Use My Name You’re on your cumspringa, PDUMN. Most gay men have at least one. Be safe, get on PrEP, remember that HIV isn’t the only sexually transmitted infection (use condoms), enjoy yourself, and be kind to the guys you meet on your cumspringa (even those you don’t expect to see again). And if a monogamous relationship is what you ultimately want—and monogamy is a fine choice—telling yourself that sexual adventures are something you have to get out of your system first is a mistake. People who convince themselves that serious commitment means the death of sexual adventures—particularly people who enjoy sexual adventures—will either avoid commitment entirely or murder the ones they make so they can have sexual adventures again.

I’m not saying you have to be nonmonogamous, PDUMN. I’m saying a couple can be exclusive and sexually adventurous at the same time. I’m also saying the person you are now—a person who enjoys sexual adventures—is the person you’re likely to be after your cumspringa is over and you’re ready to make a commitment.

I’m a straight-identified guy in my early 30s.

I am married, but my wife lives in another part of the country and we’re doing an open relationship until she moves to live with me.

Last weekend, I met a girl at a bar who ended up coming home with me, and she turned out to be a pre-op trans woman. I’d never been with a trans person before, so I decided to just roll with it and ended up having a pretty good time. Over the course of the weekend, I started to get the sense that she really liked me and maybe even considered me boyfriend material. I want to see her again, but I’m not really available for a serious relationship.

Knowing the kind of unbelievable shit trans people have to deal with, I feel like it would be unfair to string her along. She is not aware of my marital status. What should I do?

-Can’t Think Of Funny Acronym O brave new world that has such straight-identified guys in it.

Anyway, CTOFA, here’s what you should do: Get in a time machine and go be completely—what’s the word?—oh right, go be completely straight with this woman before you take her home from that bar. You’re married and doing the LDR thing and the marriage is open and you’re available for fun but nothing more.

No time machine? Then handle it the same way you would if you’d deceived some cis woman—excuse me, if you’d accidentally gotten some cis woman’s hopes up by failing to mention the wife. Level with her—you’re married—and let the nips fall where they may.

She might be angry or she might not give a wet squart (she may not be as interested as you think she is). If she accuses you of making up a wife because you don’t want to date a trans woman, it shouldn’t be hard to prove your wife—and your marriage—exists.

Finally, CTOFA, you say it would “be unfair to string her along” because of the “unbelievable shit trans people have to deal with.” It would be unfair—it would be wrong—to string a cis woman along, too. Stringing people along is wrong, period.

I’m a 31-year-old gay man. I grew up in a conservative town and got a late start exploring my sexuality. I lost my virginity at 26, but I lacked the confidence to really allow myself to enjoy sex until I learned how to enjoy the present moment. I really hit my stride a couple

Essentials of Hardware & Operating Systems DAN SHALABY

Yeah, yeah, yeah—we just did a comedian last week, but you guys, people like comedy. Besides, Ian Harris isn’t your average yuk-smith. He’s the kind of guy who makes you think. In fact, you could probably regard him more as a lecturer who happens to be pretty funny. You might also call Harris a skeptic, at least insofar as he prefers using science-based facts to write his material. And sure, this could be offensive to some, but for others, it’s just the ticket. So what’s he so skeptical about and why should we care that he’s coming to Skylight on Thursday, March 9 (8 pm. $10. 139 W San Francisco St., 982-0775)? Let’s ask him. (Alex De Vore)

Why does the concept of skepticism seem to keep coming up when people talk about you?

I’ve been a comedian for 24 years, and I’ve always been a skeptic. But in the last five or six years, I’ve been doing my comedy all about science, religion and the things that we believe without evidence. Bigfoot, aliens, religion ... the things skeptics tackle on a daily basis. Partly, it’s because I think it’s funny, but it’s also how my brain works. I don’t do relationship stuff or talk about my kid; I’ve made a niche.

That ever get you into hot water with people?

When I do my own shows and it’s just me, I’ll get people who looked me up or know they’re coming to see my stuff. But, when I just do regular shows—like, I did a casino in California recently, and it’s a regular casino with regular old people and they’re not coming for specifically me, they’re coming for comedy—and after shows like that, I’ll get a handful of people who take issue and it’s almost always with religion. Or they’ll come up and try to show me that the cure for cancer is this giant conspiracy and that 2 billion people around the world are all being paid off to keep quiet about it. I’ve done some stuff on alternative medicine, and I’ve been sent a few books, and I say, ‘I’m not an expert, but I’ve done a lot of research.’ One of my favorite comments is when someone says, ‘Man, I’ve got some reading to do’, or when they tell me that I’ve changed their way of thinking.

OK, so then what’s your best joke in your opinion?

It all comes from the same place, but I do like making fun of religion. I won’t lie to you—it’s fun for me. I find, the older I get and the more I talk about this stuff, the more absurd people’s beliefs are to me. I think ‘Wow, you really believe there was a dude named Noah who got two of every animal on a boat and he was 6,000 years old?’ My mom is a self-proclaimed psychic, and I don’t believe in psychics. I think it’s ridiculous. But, to me, that’s her religion. She’s a new-age person, and she’s just as religious about the psychic stuff as a Christian is about Christianity, and it’s so ingrained in us. It’s my favorite topic because it’s so intertwined in American culture and so forced on us. And people ask me why I would care about what other people believe, and the truth is that I don’t care as long as people don’t try to force it on me with legislation.

That’s something I’m going to talk about until I’m blue in the face.

FOOD

Where Everybody Knows Your Name Some basketball team lost and all I got was this amazing red chile

BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Y

ou know those days when nothing feels quite right? Saturday was one of those for me.

I’ve been working a ton and not taking the time to de-stress properly and, outside a spa weekend, there are few ways out of those days.

The easiest cure for this kind of thing is comfort food, and that means a place like PC’s Restaurant and Lounge (4220 Airport Road, 473-7164). I hadn’t been since college; it was time to reacquaint myself with the Southside spot.

Beloved by regulars, PC’s has been an under-the-radar staple for decades.

Originally located on Cerrillos where the new Chili’s is (ugh), owner and manager Jean-Paul Ulibarri’s restaurant has been on Airport Road for over 20 years.

I called a friend to see if he was in the mood for a late-ish dinner.

He was in Texas. I texted friends across town. All had eaten. I was on my own. By the time I arrived at the parking lot I was in a bad mood.

The entrance of the surprisingly large space is welcoming. No one was there, but you could hear voices.

I peered to the left—the dining room was filled and noisy. The bar to the right looked mostly empty. This was my speed.

Said bar area resembles a living room.

A Buddha sits next to a driftwood Jesus and a trucker hat amid strings of blue lights above the bar. Four large TVs silently play sports (not my thing, but from what I hear, difficult to find in town). A few people nodded at me as I sat down, a welcome that was much appreciated.

I’m spending a lot of time on the atmosphere, and I’ll get to the food in a second, but this space feels like home. Few restaurants feel lived-in. This one does. Customers and staff all knew each other and asked

about family. It was a community.

It was hard not to lose my bad mood as Dwight Yoakam sang a country cover of “Purple Rain” and Duke and North Carolina played basketball on the screen. It was all too familiar.

Like many restaurants in town that fall into the “family” or “inexpensive” category, PC’s rarely gets the attention it deserves. These restaurants turn out consistent, affordable, quality food, and they do so while fostering a community around them. The Pantry does this.

Santa Fe Baking Company did as well, rest in peace.

I stared at the menu for a stupidly long time. PC’s offers a host of Northern New Mexican classics. Their burritos are gigantic; a couple shared one down the bar.

They have chicharrón, something few places in town bother to serve despite the trendiness of pork belly. I ordered a Corona and went for the enchiladas ($7.75, $9.20 w/meat). I got them rolled with chicken and smothered Christmas so I could taste both options. They come with

a side of refried or regular beans and a sopaipilla or tortilla.

The platter arrived.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: • The portions are HUGE. • The sopaipilla was an ok size, but I could live on them so this isn’t a real criticism.

• The smell was rich and dense. My stomach actually growled as I stared at the plate.

I went for the green side first—I’ve never had a red chile that convinces me it’s anything other than an afterthought.

Three handmade tortillas stuffed with a ton of chicken and smothered in chile and cheese soon vanished from my plate.

I hadn’t even noticed how hungry I was.

The red side surprised me. Smoky and not too hot, it opened my sinuses without killing my tastebuds. It was the best I’ve ever had. Hands down. I am converted.

The bartender explained that they make everything from scratch. The red chile is from actual pods that they prepare in the kitchen. No powders here.

We had a nice conversation about how many places in town tilt their menus towards tourism, and in doing so they can lose craft and taste in the name of quick and less spicy. Prices can also go up as a result. This is something that PC’s does not do. My eyes nearly popped out of my head with the bill. A gigantic plate of enchiladas, a sopaipilla and a beer, all for under $14.

They have a fireplace, too. I’m ready to move in.

Santa Fe is rightly called Best red in town? a foodie city, and that can come with a price tag. But some nights you just want a meal without bells and whistles. You want to feel like you’re with friends. I sent pictures of my food to everyone who refused to go out that night.

++ A PLOT YOU CAN

You know when Clint Eastwood got old and made Million Dollar Baby and it finally sunk in that even he too would wither and fade right in front of us on the big screen? At first, you feel this way about Hugh Jackman in the latest—and they promise us, sorta, the last—Wolverine movie. But then you realize that Logan is getting old, only he’s not going to go quietly into that good night.

While this is really the bajillionth in a series of long, sometimes-overproduced and complicated tales in the X-Men franchise, it’s true that you don’t really need a lot of backstory to follow along. Wolverine is tired. He coughs and limps.

He works as a chauffeur and carries businessmen and bachelorette parties in a limo around a city that resembles El Paso. But like a lot of those battling the marching of time (read: all of us), he’s got some bigger fights ahead.

It’s not just ol’ Wolvie who’s aging, but also Professor X (Patrick Stewart). Once the teach-

er/savior/organizer for mutants, now it’s X who needs protecting. But what happens when a man whose brain can stop time develops dementia?

It’s what one character says is “degenerative brain disease in the world’s most dangerous brain.”

This, and so much more, is on Wolverine’s scarred-yet-still-shapely shoulders. Although “new mutants” were supposed to be a thing of the past, a child with killer instincts and familiar metallic claws arrives in need of saving.

After that, maybe their fights have less in common with our fights. Rated R for violence, there’s a ton of gore in the story—no shortage of

decapitations, impalements and claws through the head, eyes, neck and every other bloody part you can think of. Yet somehow when a little girl (a great performance, BTW, from a mostly otherwise silent Dafne Keen) lets out a grunt as she delivers it, you’re rooting for her along with the familiar man with the muscles. He’s old. But he’s still got it.

KEDI

GET OUT

9

++ SMART AND SCARY; DEFIES EXPECTATION

-- WRAPS UP A LITTLE QUICKLY

Much of the draw of Get Out is in seeing its writer/ director Jordan Peele (of legendary comedy duo Key and Peele) strike out of the genre for which he’s known. But the film proves to be far more than a simple foray into uncharted territory from a talented comic mind, and instead becomes one of the most original and well-executed horror films in generations.

A young photographer named Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) is set to visit his girlfriend’s parents for the weekend. “Do ... they know I’m black?” he asks her nervously beforehand, and we honestly believe Rose (Girls’ Allison Williams) when she answers, “They are not racist.” And at first this seems to be all well and good, though Allison’s doctor-father Dean (a brilliantly disarming Bradley Whitford) and therapist-mother Missy (a wildly discomforting Catherine Keener) seem a bit off, they still appear to at least be trying in that I-swear-I’m-totally-not-racist kind of way.

But something is just not right at the Armitage house. It could be Rose’s obviously sociopathic brother Jeremy (Caleb Landry Jones), a far-too-chipper maid (Betty Gabriel) who stands

silently smiling at all times or the ominous and terrifying groundskeeper (Marcus Henderson) who speaks like he just so totally has something to hide. Regardless, it’s creepy as hell up in there, but Chris seems to be the only one who can feel it.

Get Out shines in its metered examination of

tokenism, conditioned racism and even our societal expectations. Peele neatly pulls this off without ever resorting to overt explanations, however, instead allowing the actions of its characters to slowly unfold the goings-on at Rose’s spooky family home. He trusts his audience will be patient, which is a sadly lacking quality of modern

filmmaking. By the time all is revealed, we share in Chris’ realization that it may be too late, but we savor the slow burn right up to the shocking truth. (Alex De Vore) Regal, R, 103 min.

THE EAGLE HUNTRESS

++ NOT JUST FOR CAT LOVERS -- COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER

The camera moves along the ancient streets of Istanbul, following a particularly adorable orange cat. Diners at streetside cafés hand over treats.

Passersby respectfully step around her. Nearby, a clever striped fellow scales a three-story building to visit a human friend in her apartment. At an outdoor flea market across town, young and old cats alike sleep amongst the wares. The camera pans along the port and cranes up over the gorgeous Golden Horn, revealing the massive labyrinth of a city. This is Kedi, a new documentary on the street cats of Istanbul from director Ceyda Torun, and it is awe-inspiring.

We follow the seemingly ordinary lives of various cats who live throughout the sprawling Turkish metropolis on the sea. From a rather polite comrade who haunts a deli patio (but is never so rude as to go inside), a beat-up old tabby CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

who rules her perceived turf with an iron paw, a portside puffer who keeps the mouse population under control and beyond, the brief windows into the lives of cats come together to prove one thing: Cats are beloved in Istanbul.

Through this, Kedi sneakily becomes perhaps more about the humans in the cats’ lives rather than the opposite. A sailor, for instance, who once lost everything but was saved by a cat who led him to a hidden cache of money, spends his days roaming the port feeding feral kittens with a bottle. Elsewhere, a baker forms an unlikely alliance with a cat who unwittingly gives his life meaning beyond his work. In a nearby home packed to the rafters with countless strays, two women cook for and feed dozens of street cats daily.

Even those who aren’t in love with these fascinating creatures will find a captivating human story here. And rather than linger on the more cutesy aspects of felines, Kedi instead proves an inspiring treatise on the enriching aspects of animals and a satisfying glimpse into the beauty of the city itself.

THE GREAT WALL

4

++ TIAN JIANG! -- DUDE ... LIZARDS? C’MON!

Picture it: a bunch of mostly white mercenary types from various countries set aside their differences to journey to China in seach of black powder—a most poweful weapon that’ll basically make ’em rich, or at least help them with a cool fireworks show. Pursued by desert-dwelling maniacs, said mercenaries wind up either dead or captured by a Chinese army inhabiting the Great Wall which, as it turns out, wasn’t built to keep Mongol hordes at bay, but rather a bizarre meteor-propelled alien species of quadruped lizards that emerge every 60 years from some glowing mountain to eat everything in the world/ feed everything else in the world to their gigantic lizard queen. Yeesh.

So anyway, Matt Damon is William, an Irishman (maybe, because he phases in and out of whatever accent he’s trying to convey, like, every couple seconds) who, along with his Spanish pal Tovar (Pedro Pascal of the Netflix hit series Narcos), came for the weapons but, wouldn’t you know it, has a change of heart and decides to put all of his axe-swingin’, trick-shootin’, pony-tailflappin’ war experience to good use saving the planet. Because, y’know, if the lizard aliens ever get past the wall they’ll probably just eat everyone everywhere.

From a simple CGI/action point of view, The

Great Wall is exciting and enjoyable enough—full of explosions and light elements of gravity-defying kung-fu á la other works of director Yimou Zhang (Hero or House of Flying Daggers). And this would be fine if the film didn’t fall victim to tired movie missteps, such as plans devised with knowledge about the lizards Damon and company couldn’t possibly have, or the unfortunate white savior trope. Oh sure, they kind of sidestep that by giving us a whole song-and-dance about how William and Tovar are strangers in a strange land just looking for gunpowder, but c’mon—let’s call a spade a spade here.

By the time we’ve had our fill of female-led bungee jumping units and crazy-ass lizard explosions, what’s left is a pretty thin premise despite truly gorgeous sets and some midly enjoyable action sequences. Hats off especially to the character Lin Mae (Tian Jing from the upcoming Kong: Skull Island) who proves a strong female lead without a tacked-on love story. But, sadly, even she can’t save this movie from itself. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 103 min.

I AM NOT YOUR NEGRO

10

++ TIMELY AND IMPORTANT -- ONE WEIRD, UNNECESSARY MOMENT OF CGI

You’d never know it was Samuel L Jackson reading the words from activist and writer James Baldwin’s unfinished work, Remember This House, in the new documentary I Am Not Your Negro, but it mostly works. The downside, of course, is that Baldwin’s emphatic and lilting voice, so brilliantly strong and effortlessly convincing, doesn’t take center stage. Still, Jackson’s reserved cadence conveys the importance of the man (as well as his observations on explosive race relations) who, during the 1960s after years living in Paris, returned to America to fight the good fight alongside his friends and fellow crusaders, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr. and Medgar Evers. How inexplicably awful it must have been to watch as your friends, your loved ones, your very people were killed as they pursued simple rights that ought to be extended to all humans. As we know, these particular men never did make it to the mountaintop, but their contributions—not to mention Baldwin’s, offered through literature— were obviously vital.

With the text of Remember This House as narration, director Raoul Peck weaves footage from then and now deftly throughout the film, reminding us of the brutality black people have faced throughout all of recorded history, even more unforgivable now. In the span of mere minutes, we see the bodies of 60s-era leaders and snapshots of Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and

Like all cats, this sucker needs to get its paws on a fish skeleton ASAP!

other modern-day victims of racist oppression.

This is painfully difficult to watch, yet riveting, especially within the juxtaposition of Baldwin’s gorgeous prose and ugly images of Klansmen, the violent police and the everyday racists.

These days they’re growing bold once more, and though I Am Not Your Negro remains timeless in its message, it is particularly needed right now. Take your children or your students; take yourselves for a refresher course in the tragic absurdity of such racially charged hatred. Prepare to be blown away. (ADV) CCA Cinematheque, Violet Crown, PG-13, 95 min.

HIDDEN FIGURES

8

++ IMPORTANT HISTORY -- SOMETIMES HEAVY-HANDED

Here’s the thing—it’s kind of hard to not like Hidden Figures, at least insofar as it’s the simultaneous story of uncredited black women who were so awesome at their jobs that they literally made safe space flight possible, yet they were treated so poorly amidst the racist atmosphere of 1960s Virginia that we’re all kind of like, “What the hell,

man?!” That said, the overall tone seems a tad breezy for the subject matter. It could be that director/screenwriter Theodore Melfi wanted to tell the story, which was based on the book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly, in a palatable fashion, but you just know that the actual story was far more intense.

We mostly follow Katherine Goble/Johnson (Taraji P Henson), a lifelong math ultra-genius who works as a human computer for the space program at NASA with dozens of other black women. Along with her close friends/fellow NASA employees Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), Katherine attempts to deduce the incredibly complex science needed to launch John Glenn into space. Of course, it’s the ’60s, and white people are basically the absolute worst, so even though Katherine can do any math that comes her way and Dorothy teaches her damn self how to program NASA’s newly-minted (and roomsized) IBM supercomputer and Mary is some kind of goddamn engineering phenom, they have to fight some pretty nasty racism on the part of people like lead engineer Paul Stafford (The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons) and supervisor Vivian CONTINUED ON PAGE 35

Lizards from space threaten all of China! Thank goodness for Matt Damon.

Mitchell (a perfectly condescending and bitchy Kirsten Dunst).

Henson’s performance exists in the sweet spot between vulnerable mother and widow and complete badass, unafraid to excel at math or to fight for her race and gender. And though Spencer and Monáe prove indispensable to the pacing and overall feel of Hidden Figures, some of the impact of the real-world achievements made by the women they portray winds up dissipated as they’re relegated to periodic bits of comic relief.

Still, it is Katherine’s story, and there’s much to enjoy here. The sting of racism cuts deep even now, and we must never forget that these people literally had to be complete geniuses and fight their asses off to receive even a modicum of respect. Don’t be surprised if Hidden Figures becomes required viewing for students down the road at some point and, we hope, we start to get other films about the incredible people of color throughout history who perhaps didn’t get the recognition they so obviously deserved.

THE EAGLE HUNTRESS

8

++ IT’S A GIRL HUNTING WITH AN EFFING EAGLE

-- WE MAY NOT GET THE WHOLE STORY

Forget Frozen. Just let it go. And ditch your heartbreak-turned-fury over the role sexism likely played in the recent presidential election.

Instead, let your thrill for a 13-year-old Mongolian girl named Aisholpan Nurgaiv soar above the ice-covered steppes of Mongolia in The Eagle Huntress, which has to be the girlpower movie of the year. The new Sony Pictures Classics documentary, narrated by Star Wars newcomer Daisy Ridley, tells the story of the traditional hunting bond between golden eagles and men from the Kazakh, a nomadic tribe that’s been around since before the days of Genghis Khan. But more than that, it’s how this young girl breaks the glass ceiling between verdant expanses and craggy mountains.

You see, like being president of the United States, eagle hunting in Mongolia is just for men.

And, boy howdy, even if you stopped reading the subtitles for a few minutes, you’d know how the men interviewed for the film really feel about Aisholpan’s interloping on their sausage fest.

Women are weak; they don’t have the courage to hold the bird; they should stay home and make tea for the hunters.

Her father, to be congratulated on his forward thinking and bold dedication to his daughter, sees past the gender barrier. “It’s not choice,” he explains, “it’s a calling that has to be in your blood.”

And it’s in hers. Aisholpan thus shows no fear, strapping on her fur-lined hat and trotting

into town on her sturdy horse, arm extended as it becomes a perch for the avian predator. The bird’s wingspan is wider than she is tall, dwarfing the ruddy-cheeked girl with each restless flap.

She pets its head as if it were a house cat, talking all the while with praise and comfort. Oh, and by the way—she had to rappel down a cliff side and snatch the eaglet from its nest. Then months of training. No bigs.

What majestic footage: the grace of the powerful wings alighting from the edge of the mountain, the expressions on the old dudes’ faces as she earns perfect scores at the region’s annual eagle festival as the youngest competitor and the first-ever female. It is a trip for the imagination to look inside yurts and back to stone goat enclosures, across barren snowscapes and through villages with stumpy homes and smoky corridors. See too the textures of the textiles, the steam from the mouths of beasts, and the expressive faces not just of the starring eagles, but the scruffy horses and bleating lambs.

We dare you to watch impassively as father and daughter ride off together after Aisholpan passes the ultimate test of recognition for a hunter: catching a fox in the snowy mountains.

The Eagle Huntress is a great winter movie that stands to touch the coldest chambers of heart with fierce inspiration. Grab it with your talons. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, G, subtitles, 87 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of March 8th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) As soon as you can, sneak away to a private place where you can be alone—preferably to a comfy sanctuary where you can indulge in eccentric behavior without being seen or heard or judged. When you get there, launch into an extended session of moaning and complaining. I mean do it out loud. Wail and whine and whisper about everything that’s making you sad and puzzled and crazy. For best results, leap into the air and wave your arms. Whirl around in erratic figure-eights while drooling and messing up your hair. Breathe extra deeply. And all the while, let your pungent emotions and poignant fantasies flow freely through your wild heart. Keep on going until you find the relief that lies on the other side.

reluctant to let go of. For example, the spirit of a beloved ancestor may sweep into your nightmare and carry off a delicious poison that has been damaging you in ways you’ve become comfortable with. A bandit angel might sneak into your imagination and burglarize the debilitating beliefs and psychological crutches you cling to as if they were bars of gold. Are you interested in benefiting from this service? Ask and you shall receive.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) “I’ve always belonged to what isn’t where I am and to what I could never be,” wrote Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935).

That was his prerogative, of course. Or maybe it was a fervent desire of his, and it came true. I bring his perspective to your attention, Taurus, because I believe your mandate is just the opposite, at least for the next few weeks: You must belong to what is where you are.

You must belong to what you will always be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Nothing is ever as simple as it may seem. The bad times always harbor opportunities. The good times inevitably have a caveat.

According to my astrological analysis, you’ll prove the latter truth in the coming weeks. On one hand, you will be closer than you’ve been in many moons to your ultimate sources of meaning and motivation. On the other hand, you sure as hell had better take advantage of this good fortune. You can’t afford to be shy about claiming the rewards and accepting the responsibilities that come with the opportunities.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Seek intimacy with experiences that are dewy and slippery and succulent.

Make sure you get more than your fair share of swirling feelings and flowing sensations, cascading streams and misty rain, arousing drinks and sumptuous sauces, warm baths and purifying saunas, skin moisturizers and lustrous massages, the milk of human kindness and the buttery release of deep sex—and maybe even a sensational do-it-yourself baptism that frees you from at least some of your regrets. Don’t stay thirsty, my undulating friend. Quench your need to be very, very wet. Gush and spill. Be gushed and spilled on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Evolved Scorpios don’t fantasize about bad things happening to their competitors and adversaries. They don’t seethe with smoldering desires to torment anyone who fails to give them what they want.

They may, however, experience urges to achieve TOTAL CUNNNG DAZZLING MERCILESS VICTORY over those who won’t acknowledge them as golden gods or golden goddesses. But even then, they don’t indulge in the deeply counterproductive emotion of hatred. Instead, they sublimate their ferocity into a drive to keep honing their talents. After all, that game plan is the best way to accomplish something even better than mere revenge: success in fulfilling their dreams. Please keep these thoughts close to your heart in the coming weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “The noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world,” wrote Martin Luther (1483-1546), a revolutionary who helped break the stranglehold of the Catholic Church on the European imagination. I bring this up, Sagittarius, because you’re entering a phase when you need the kind of uprising that’s best incited by music.

So I invite you to gather the tunes that have inspired you over the years, and also go hunting for a fresh batch. Then listen intently, curiously, and creatively as you feed your intention to initiate constructive mutation. Its time to overthrow anything about your status quo that is jaded, lazy, sterile, or apathetic.

REFLEXOLOGY

LIFE COACHING

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “Either you learn to live with paradox and ambiguity or you’ll be six years old for the rest of your life,” says author Anne Lamott. How are you doing with that lesson, Capricorn? Still learning? If you would like to get even more advanced teachings about paradox and ambiguity—as well as conundrums, incongruity, and anomalies—there will be plenty of chances in the coming weeks. Be glad! Remember the words of Nobel Prize-winning physicist Niels Bohr: “How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Would you like to live to the age of 99? If so, experiences and realizations that arrive in the coming weeks could be important in that project. A window to longevity will open, giving you a chance to gather clues about actions you can take and meditations you can do to remain vital for ten decades. I hope you’re not too much of a serious, know-it-all adult to benefit from this opportunity. If you’d like to be deeply receptive to the secrets of a long life, you must be able to see with innocent, curious eyes. Playfulness is not just a winsome lichen as your spirit ally in the coming weeks, Aquarius. quality in this quest; it’s an essential asset.

You’re primed for some sterling symbioses.
