Regarding the published numbers on DWI checkpoints, did anyone bother to look or ask where most of the DWI arrests, complaints, stops and incidents occur? How about the DWI related crashes? I would be curious to know. Smart policing today is very data driven; wouldn’t that matter in terms of where to deploy limited resources? It is extremely over simplistic to suggest just because most of the city’s “popular bars and restaurants” (whatever that means) are in the northern section, then the police must host checkpoints in the same area. People do not just consume alcoholic beverages in northern “popular bars and restaurants.” Chili’s and Buffalo Wild Wings are in the south, along with many other places that serve liquor. I am glad we have a Municipal Court, and agree with the assertion in the sixth paragraph that it helps alleviate the strain on the magistrate and district courts. Santa Fe is not Ferguson, and mentioning that city when discussing ours on the subject of city courts is a non-sequitur.

Each Wednesday I remind one of them to pick up a Santa Fe Reporter, so I can make my weekend plans and learn news I can’t get anywhere else. Is it worth giving up my naptime to get all gussied up to see the latest Opera? It usually is, but my go-to reviews are in the Reporter. Where can I get the best sushi and ‘nip in Santa Fe? I rely on the Reporter’s weekly email The Fork, and their reviews of new places in town.

Housing development for homeless and special needs Santa Feans is complete and already has waiting list

B Y K AT H E R I N E L E W I N k a t h e r i n e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ll 87 affordable housing units are finally ready as living spaces at Soleras Station—nearly three years after the Santa Fe City Council first agreed to a plan in tandem with a nearby home developer and a nonprofit. City officials have an RSVP-only ribbon-cutting event open to the public and residents planned for Oct. 3 with Mayor Alan Webber, a tour and a buffet for 200 to celebrate the three-phase project’s completion. The first group of buildings opened to residents in May, and the second shortly after that, according to Justin Robison, executive director of The Housing Trust, the nonprofit managers. The development is unique. The project features rent-controlled apartments and income restrictions—of the 87 units, just 14 are leased at market rate. Most significantly, the other 73 are for people with special needs, ranging from transitioning from homelessness to mental and physical disabilities. And it’s already full with a waiting list. On site, there’s a worker who advocates for the residents with special needs. That means coordinating “classes and seminars, [being] an advocate for the residents; if somebody is short on cash, they go to the food bank for them, reach out to different organizations to help them make rent,” Robison tells SFR. The site also has a community building that offers homebuyer training classes, financial literacy classes, afterschool activities, GED classes, health fairs and fitness classes. An adjacent city park is also nearly complete. The federal LowIncome Housing Tax Credit project requires city and developers to use data and measurements from the US Department

of Housing and Urban Development to decide the rental rates. For Soleras Station, officials used Santa Fe’s Area Median Income. The income levels used to determine whether someone is eligible for one of the apartments are percentages of that AMI figure: Any household income at or below 80% of the AMI is considered “low-income.” So what do affordable rents look like in Santa Fe? According to Robison, the lowest rents can be less than $300 a month. A one-bedroom apartment at the lowest AMI is $251 per month, a two-bedroom is $295 per month and a three-bedroom is $372 per month. At the highest AMI, a one-bedroom is $641, a two-bedroom $763 and a three-bedroom is $871. The market units with no income restrictions range from $1,069 to $1,406 per month. Sixteen units are rent-limited for households at the lowest AMI, 29 units are rent-limited for households at the middle AMI and 28 units are rent-limited for households at the highest AMI. There are two other similar developments in the city developed by The Housing Trust—Stage Coach Apartments and Village Sage—but Soleras Station marks the first time The Housing Trust has

We’re already over-subscribed ... Once the word is out there, we have a very large potential list that exceeds the number of units. -Justin Robison, executive director of The Housing Trust

For people transitioning from homelessness or with other special needs, The Life Link conducts a lottery from the pool of applicants. For those only facing income restrictions or market-rate renters, it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. But using that model would not be “fair”

to those with special needs, according to Robison. Despite this development, there is still a significant waiting list for the chance to be chosen from the lottery. “We’re already over-subscribed,” Robison says. “The lottery was maybe two or three times oversubscribed for special needs. Once the word is out there, we have a very large potential list that exceeds the number of units.” The opportunity for Soleras Station came about because developers PulteGroup, Inc. wanted to build 300 houses in a single-family project, Las Soleras, which sits west of Soleras Station. The company sought to avoid the inclusion of affordable units, according to Alexandra Ladd, director of the city’s Office of Affordable Housing. The City Council approved the plan via a 2016 resolution. Pulte transferred ownership of the 4.5-acre parcel of land to The Housing Trust, and also brought water, electricity, cable and sewer to the site, Ladd tells SFR. “Pulte proposed an alternate compliance,” Ladd says, which is allowed under the Santa Fe Homes Program ordinance. “Instead of producing affordable home-owner units in their project they proposed to buy the multi-family parcel and donate it for affordable housing. …They did not want to include affordable units on site. They claimed it wasn’t financially feasible.”

combined market rates in the unit mix. Both Stage Coach and Village Sage have 60 units that are 100% affordable. Between the three developments, 48 units total are specifically for people transitioning out of homelessness, with 18 of them at Soleras. Robison says the 48 units make a “real dent in addressing our city’s commitment to ending homelessness.” The Life Link, a nonprofit that helps people struggling with homelessness, is in charge of the process of leasing apartments to those with special needs, which differs from how people who are income-restricted get leases.

ALYSIA LORI ABBOTT 1.

What happens to city wastewater?

Under what circumstances are city police required to turn on the recording devices (lapel cams) they wear?

True or false: Motor vehicle drivers must give bicyclists a 5-foot passing radius at all times, even on roads with bike lanes.

What are the current uses of the Midtown Campus and what’s the plan for the future?

Identify three of the city’s services that are classified as enterprises and whether they are running as intended.

Treated effluent is released into the Santa Fe River downstream of the wastewater treatment plant, and some is sold for irrigation of golf courses and soccer fields, and dust control on roads.

Officers must turn on their body cams during traffic stops, investigative detentions, pursuits, arrests, searches and interrogations, but must ask permission to record in places where privacy is a “reasonable expectation,” such as residences, hospitals and restrooms.

True.

The Santa Fe Fire Department’s Mobile Integrated Health Office and other emergency services, the Screen (CCA) movie theatre, the Santa Fe Art Institute, an after-school teen program, film production and training facilities, and a substance-use residential recovery program are currently operating on-site. The city is in the process of planning how to redevelop the campus and is soliciting expressions of interest from developers, businesses and academic institutions.

City services that are self-supported through user fees and service charges and are therefore classified as enterprises include the airport, Railyard, water, wastewater, environmental services (solid waste), parking, MRC (Municipal Recreational Center), the Convention Center and Midtown Campus.

District 4

JAMIE CASSUTT-SANCHEZ

l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

It’s time for the second round of our City Council candidate pop quiz, this time with candidates from District 4, all of whom grew up in Santa Fe. We profiled the candidates and their platforms in depth in a cover story last month.

Cassutt-Sanchez has a background working in public health in California and a master’s degree in public health from UCLA. She recently returned to Santa Fe with her husband to raise her 1-year-old son.

1. To city wastewater… well we have our wastewater treatment plant. So it goes through that process to then be used as greywater I believe. 2. Great question! I would assume that any time they are having an interaction with a citizen that is not going to put any individual at risk if they are recorded if it becomes public, as it is in the public domain. So, pretty much anytime they are interacting with a citizen. 3. A five-foot passing radius… true!

As always, the candidates promised not to turn to Google, smartphones, companions, or any other source besides their own knowledge to answer. Read on to find out how much they know about the city and the district. Election day is Nov. 5.

4. Right now Midtown Campus, there are still some of the buildings available that people can utilize for public events currently. In the future, that is a great question that we are still working to figure out. And the city is partnering with some organizations and some interested individuals who are working to decide what will become of Midtown Campus. 5. Let’s go with recycling services… trash services, and water. You know, I think that there still is a lot of work that we can be doing in these areas, especially with making recycling more accessible to individuals especially when we look at glass recycling and waste management. I think that we do need to look at some ways that we can bring glass recycling back as

well as curbside glass recycling. I know that we can drop them off but also look at some new technology that might bring some single stream waste management processes into being here in Santa Fe. And then with water, of course, there always is work that we need to be doing with water here in Santa Fe. We are an arid desert landscape and, you know, running out of water is always something that we need to be cognizant of. Our citizens have done a great job of decreasing our water usage, but I think we need to continue looking at how we do water reuse and continue looking at more opportunities for capturing water, conserving water as we move into the future.

INCORRECT

GREGORY SCARGALL

Scargall lead the Santa Fe Community College Veterans Resource Center from 2013 until just a few weeks ago when he took a position teaching fourth grade at Cesar Chavez Elementary.

1. It goes through a pretty advanced process that actually exceeds federal standards. Upon treating the water we then send it down the southern part of the Santa Fe River Watershed as effluent water. It eventually makes it down to the village of La Bajada and then makes it all the way to el Rio Grande. 2. I would say on any call that involved going to a private residence or any serious public threat certainly but I

would think that they would use it in most applications of answering calls.

3. False. 4. We have a police substation there, Santa Fe Recovery has the Extend program there, there’s the cinema, the film studio, and I’m not sure what else but those are the big ones that stand out in my mind right now. We are going through the process of RFQ [request for qualifications] for expressed interest, there’s also an analysis being done on the best usage, we’ve brought in a couple consultants to help us with reaching out to local stakeholders… for me a very frustrating

process, I think we’ve been through a pretty extensive process in the last two years and I just hope for the best.

5. IT, finance department, and land use. I would think that the ERP [Enterprise Resource Planning] that we put out should help to improve deficiencies that we have in several major departments... to me I think the expectation of our community is we can do better, so hopefully by leveraging technology, professional development, and potentially looking at adding revenue where needed that we can better serve our constituency throughout the city and primarily in those departments.

Anderson has worked in various public roles in New Mexico since 1994. Now, he manages data, budgeting and finances for the Los Alamos Fire Department.

1. The city’s wastewater right now heads down towards our wastewater facility, it is treated and then basically sent out or planted in the ground around the physical airport itself to go back into the groundwater there. 2. They are required to turn it on any time they are having an encounter with a potential suspect or a potential contact in which they were called for service, or which they encountered on a traffic stop. 3. That is absolutely true. 4. Current uses for Midtown Campus are ... a film studio that is currently being used, the theater that is currently being used by CCA, we have the Santa Fe Art Institute, which still has some functionality there, and I want to say there was some treatment facility temporary use that is also there. Future use is, from the planning that we had, is supposed to have a portion of affordable housing [and] small business incubators. We’ve heard a call for government in that area, and a basically walkable new urbanism lifestyle with affordable housing. With that said, I don’t know that plans have been finalized, and I know there’s been a call from the public for more input. 5. Water is currently used as a city enterprise. Second to that, solid waste ... and … the Fire Department, believe it or not. They have a wildland fire module that goes out under the resource mobilization plan and those firefighters are paid for by the federal asset or state asset that has requested their assistance for wildland fire suppression outside of

the City of Santa Fe. So first, water, is it being utilized as it’s intended to? Yes, we charge for water, yes, it is a vital resource and it needs to be coveted, we need to do a much better job at managing future water needs and how we are looking at responsible growth within the entire city, and make sure that we’re taking water reserves into account ... Solid waste, which is kinda a two-part piece, the actual refuse is an enterprise model in which our garbage trucks charge a fee for service and then the second part of that is actually our city as a fiscal agent, and we provide the fiscal piece of the solid waste management authority, and I would say that both of those have been fairly fiscally sound and have been running fairly consistently ... I would say that challenges that we have on the road ahead are about recycling and making sure that we have a good source to recycle our plastic as globally that has been a challenge. And then the last is the fire department piece where we deploy [firefighters] to fight fires outside of the city of Santa Fe… It is working as intended and the city actually sees some salary savings and does get some vehicle replacement costs covered.

HOW GRAIN HEADS, FARMING EXPERTS AND SEED SAVERS ARE SHORING UP FOOD SYSTEMS IN EL NORTE a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

on Boyd pulls a worn leather pouch from his pocket. “I’m not a rich man,” he says, pouring the contents into his callused farmer’s hand, “but right here is my wealth.” I inspect the collection of seeds he holds in his palm. There are four corn varieties, including the ancient maize morado, a purple corn from the Andes highlands, and glass gem, the rainbow-kerneled culmination of a friendship between a Cherokee farmer from Oklahoma and a New Mexico seed keeper. There’s a fava seed from Guatemala and a scarlet runner bean; blue Ethiopian emmer and blue Utrecht wheats; Mirasol chile and two types of cucumber. Pooled together, this microcosm of life at Boyd’s Mer-Girl Gardens in La Villita tells tales from far beyond the Rio Grande Valley. Later, I read a passage by Chilean agronomist Miguel Altieri that sums up those stories: “In a handful of wild seeds taken from any one natural community, there is hidden the distillation of millions of years of coevolution of plants and animals … the living reverberations of how past cultures selected plant characters that reflected their human sense of taste, color, proportion and fitness in a particular environment.” The small histories cupped in Boyd’s hand on this mid-September day also point the way forward. In the face of climate change and the GMO-laced tyranny of big agriculture, Boyd and other Northern New Mexico growers, Indigenous farming experts and community activists are cultivating a food revolution. How? By going back to the old ways: revitalizing traditional agricultural practices, embracing biodiversity, saving seeds and shoring up sustenance for future generations.

Mer-Girl Gardens farmer and Grain Team member Ron Boyd in his field.

The idea for the Los Luceros Grain Trials began over a three-day weekend in early 2018. That’s when Boyd went to Grain School, a seminar at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs designed to inspire people to grow heritage grains in their communities. There, Boyd met a cohort of fellow “grain heads” based in Santa Fe. Among them were the James Beard-award-winning food writer and chef Deborah Madison and Master Gardener Christine Salem. Back in Santa Fe, Salem ran into Susann Mikkelson, then the site manager at Los Luceros Historic Site. The state-owned 148-acre ranch just up the road from Boyd’s farm near Alcalde was undergoing administrative changes. “I learned that the hoped-for vision on some people’s parts for Los Luceros was to return it back to its heritage of being a functioning farm and ranch,” Salem says. Mikkelson told Salem about an idea that had been kicking around Los Luceros for a while: partnering with farmers to restore the property to its former agricultural glory. Salem had grain on the brain, of course, and with a sponsorship from the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance, the Los Luceros Grain Team was born. On a 6-by-60-foot rectangle of land at Los Luceros, along with a few plots of his own land, Boyd and the team planted 52 different ancient and heritage grains beginning in spring 2018. The mission? To capture data on germination rates, growing characteristics and crop yields, and share it with interested local farmers.

ture. Together, Boyd and Salem weave a story of the monoculturization of American wheat. “Anything grown up until 1950 is defined as a heritage grain,” Salem explains. She points to modern wheat as a concoction of the Green Revolution, the

Why is grain making people sick? It has been the staff of life. It moved armies, it transported people. Twentysome years ago, who ever heard of gluten intolerance? And that’s the whole long story about yield over quality.

Growing grains in Northern New Mexico is a very old idea. The northern Río Grande Valley was once known as the breadbasket of the region. “A lot of wheat was grown here,” Salem says, “it was brought here by the Spaniards and the missionaries. I learned that one of the first crops they planted in the late 1500s was wheat.” “They needed something for the [Communion] wafer,” Boyd elaborates. “We know that it was Sonoran white and probably Pima club that were some of the first grains used in the Southwest.” By the 1950s, most local wheat crops were phased out, victims of dying water mills and the rise of commercial agricul-

She and Boyd point to several factors making Big Wheat hard to swallow. With gluten bred into wheat to make it easier to bake, the application of glyphosate to regulate crops and the use of quick-rise leavening agents, it’s no wonder more and more Americans without celiac disease are finding themselves increasingly intolerant to grains. “Why is grain making people sick?” Boyd asks. “It has been the staff of life. It moved armies, it transported people. Twenty-some years ago, who ever heard of gluten intolerance? And that’s the whole long story about yield over quality. That’s become kind of the picture of agriculture in the US—well, the world, really. The Green Revolution meant, use any product that Monsanto has because it’ll make everything green, which was absolute truth. And then the outcome— we can discover that later.”

A very small start

The Grain Team has thus far planted three seasons worth of spelt, rye, barley, wheat, oats, sorghum, amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa. They are called -Ron Boyd “trials” for a reason. The team, with Boyd as lead farmer, has found that many seeds planted in the fall have fared better than midcentury renovation of agricultur- those sowed in the springtime. At Los Lual practices that increased production ceros this summer, the fields were blightworldwide while severely limiting crop ed by defunct irrigation systems and the chomping of wayward cows, along with variety. “Wheat is the biggest crop in the the usual pests and weeds. The team will world,” Salem continues. “There used to move all its trials to Boyd’s land this fall be 90,000 varieties of wheat grown world- in favor of better quality control; they’ve wide, and we’re down to a slim percentage also changed their name to the Rio Grande Grain Team. of that.”

Lacking any records of what had been grown at Los Luceros, the growers were advised on seeds by experts from the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance. Salem says some didn’t germinate at all. “Some of these were 30-year-old seeds and maybe hadn’t been stored properly,” she explains. But like any farmer, the team is stoic, celebrating hard-won yields and looking to the future. Their vision is to create a so-called “grain chain” in Northern New Mexico: a few farmers, a couple grain varieties, a commercial-sized mill, and a willing baker or two who can supply the region with bread from more easily digestible ancient and heirloom grains. Salem says this model is burgeoning in communities around the country. At a workshop she attended in Maine, she saw local grains pouring into breweries and bakeries, sustaining communities with an easily overseen food system. “We don’t have enough right now even to bake a loaf of bread at this point,” she tells SFR. “But we have enough that we could give someone some wheat berries that they could sprout and incorporate as an element in their bread. It’s a very small start.” Boyd, meanwhile, recently took 25 pounds of heritage grains to baker Andre Kempton at Taos’ Wild Leaven Bakery. Salem points to their 10 pounds of harvested seed as a win. “That’s a nice increase,” she says. “It makes it possible for us to use those for our own seed increase purposes, as well as share with some other folks who want to get started.” The new seeds also replenish the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance.

“RMSA will send 100 seeds of a variety,” says Salem, “and you send them back 200 seeds.” The Grain Team’s ultimate goal is to develop landrace seeds completely adapted to the region. The seeds’ genetic component should be able to weather the subtle gradations of climate change as the planet becomes hotter and more arid. “That means that we won’t be subject to issues of monoculture devastation and starvation because we’ll have grains that their biological diversity will be adaptable to whatever gets thrown at them,” Salem says. “The potato famine was a real thing, and it could happen to any other crop.”

The old ways In comparison to the long agricultural history at Tesuque Pueblo, the heritage seeds planted at Los Luceros are mere teenagers. The Tewa people at Tesuque have farmed the same valley since the 1300s. As with all Indigenous farmers in the Americas, the main strength of their traditional systems stemmed from their degree of biodiversity, or varied crops. But when Emigdio Ballon came from Bolivia 14 years ago to serve as the pueblo’s agricultural director, he found that alfalfa had largely replaced the Three Sisters crops of corn, beans and squash. Ballon, who is a Quechua descendant of the Inca people, set to work restoring traditional farming practices and implementing biodynamic methods to develop an orchard and a diverse solar-powered permaculture garden spanning more than 75 acres. In addition to growing food for the pueblo, Tesuque also maintains a commercial medicinal garden and grows seed for organizations that include Seeds of Change and Native Seeds/SEARCH, a nonprofit based in Tucson and founded by ecologist-writer Gary Paul Nabhan. Asked about the pueblo’s achievements, Ballon replies, “I don’t want to

Don’t You Know I’m a Loco-vore? Resources for Eating and Growing Chef, cookbook author and Native foods expert Lois Ellen Frank has an object lesson for people who worry about the high prices of sustainably or locally grown food. It involves the Ojibwe wild rice she buys from Minnesota at $15 a pound. “In order to hand-harvest the rice, you need a canoe that’s hand-built by Native people, which needs the Indigenous knowledge to harvest the wood to build the canoe,” she says. “Then you also need pristine lakes to go onto the water where the wild rice grows. So we save the environment, because wild rice won’t grow unless it has a pristine environment to grow in. So now we’re revitalizing the technology around building the canoe and the environment that needs the canoe to harvest the rice. But then we also support and create the economic viability for the families that have the knowledge to build the canoes that go on the lake to harvest the rice and then sell the rice.” Did you get all that? Frank puts it another way: “A pound will feed somewhere between 22 and 25 people. So if I take $15 and divide it by, say, 22, it’s 64 cents a serving. It’s not that expensive.” She narrows it down to the local level, citing the white, blue, pink and yellow hominy she buys at the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market to make posole. “What we’re doing is not only supporting a sustainable local economy, but we’re supporting a process of indigenous knowledge that goes back millennia,” she explains. “And if nobody buys local hominy or posole, then that tradition is just gonna fade away and disappear.” Aside from supporting independent farmers, Christine Salem of the Rio Grande Grain Team points to an upcoming opportunity to learn more about developing and sharing locally adapted seeds.

Perennials are political

COURTESY EMIGDIO BALLON AND PUEBLO OF TESUQUE

The idea came to Beata Tsosie-Peña during a rainstorm. Watching the runoff from the parking lot above Valdez Park in Española, the program coordinator of the Environmental Health and Justice program at Tewa Women United saw that floods of rainwater were eroding the wedge-shaped hillside below the parking lot. Instead of waste, she saw potential. More than three years later, that barren patch of soil is blooming with nearly 300 varieties of plants both edible and medicinal. Almost all of them are perennials, tended with the Tewa dryland farming and rainwater harvesting techniques that Tsosie-Peña’s Santa Clara Pueblo ancestors employed for millennia. The hill is dotted with stalks of ripening blue and red corn, yellow cota blossoms, crimson wolfberries and orange Indian paintbrush. A fiber arts garden yields natural dye plants. Lines of winding stones form two symbolic Avanyu, or water serpent spirits, which represent the southern and northern pueblos. Its name is fitting: Española Healing Foods Oasis. A walk along the sloping

Harvest time at Tesuque Pueblo.

Avanyu paths makes for an immersion in agricultural renewal and hope. The garden’s progress represents a triumph in the face of overwhelming challenges to a stable food system. Tsosie-Peña rattles off an intimidating list of factors standing in the way of her people’s right to raise their children in a healthy and safe environment. “We face a lot of environmental violence from nuclear weapons production, oil and gas extraction, a couple of Superfund sites in Española, the threat of GMO ... encroachment on our traditional heirloom seeds, and the continued colonization of our food systems,” she says, “which is eroding everyone’s health in the community.”

How do we go back to eating our traditional foods, so that our bodies are stronger in the face of the environmental threats that are in our community? -Beata Tsosie-Peña

say it’s what we did. It’s a lesson from our ancestors, actually. We have diversified the crops.” More than 1,500 seed are carefully stored for future generations in the burgeoning seed library.“When we talk about the old ways, it’s getting to thinking how independent you can be in life. That’s why it’s important to be growing food for ourselves, for our health. If it’s not food, we cannot talk about sovereignty. That’s the key between sovereignty and food.”

Beata Tsosie-Peña harvests amaranth at Española Healing Foods Oasis.

In light of those uncontrollable risks, she asks, “How do we go back to eating our traditional foods, so that our bodies are stronger in the face of the environmental threats that are in our community?” At the Oasis and in conjunction with Tewa Women United and a long list of community collaborators, TsosiePeña facilitates workshops on contour farming, companion planting, spiral gardens, rainwater catchment, fruit tree pruning, erosion control, soil health, micro- and bioremediation and constructing mycelium bricks. The Española Healing Foods Seed Library, spearheaded by a group of youth leaders, is slated to open in the next month or so. But like harvested rainwater, local environmental justice advocates must be positioned to divert where they’re needed. In early 2019, activists from the New Mexico Food and Seed Sovereignty Alliance (of which Tewa Women United is a member) found a disturbing seed pre-emption incentive in a state legislative bill that was set to be passed. The line—similar to the intention of a bill proposed and tabled in 2018—would have given the state the power to override local seed regulations, which would potentially prevent any limitations on GMO planting. “It was just by chance that we found the line about seed pre-emption last year, because it was buried in a budget appropriations bill that was, like, 200 pages long — and it was one line. It was really sneaky the way they tried to put it through,” Tsosie-Peña says. In the face of swift opposition, Gov. Lujan Grisham issued a line-item veto.

A moment of great bounty Fledgling tree shadows stretch down the transformed hillside on the last Wednesday in September. The Healing Gardens Oasis is hosting its fourth annual amaranth harvest workshop in Valdez Park. Joined by Guatemalan stewards from Qachuu Aloom, who brought the Mayan amaranth seeds to Española, more than 50 community members gather to pray over the sacred crop. Tsosie-Peña says they are there to “rematriate” the amaranth. It’s a precontact supergrain whose strengthening powers were said to so intimidate the Spanish conquistadors that they forbade its planting. Listening to participants introduce themselves in Tewa, Achi Maya, Spanish, Mohawk and English, I think about what Tsosie-Peña told me earlier regarding the current militarization of the border. “Our Pueblo cultures in New Mexico had trade routes with indigenous cultures from the south, and part of our sustainability in this land is the ability to trade medicine and seeds with each other. You can’t really talk about agricultural food systems in silo of the larger political context.” We prepare to hike up the hillside, gather the branches of magenta, orange and green amaranth, and shake the seeds onto tarps laid on the grass. Cradling the gently drooping branches, I remember a few lines from H.D.’s poem “Amaranth:” “I give back to my goddess the gift/she tendered me in a moment/of great bounty.” Tsosie-Peña has an even better line. “We are all seeds,” she tells us.

Santa Fe Institute’s Complexity Explorer lets the public dip into Complexity Science topics BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

s of this writing, the aspens have yet to turn yellow. Make no mistake: The leaves’ yellow hue is there, but the trees’ chlorophyll production has not diminished sufficiently to reveal it. Why? Many factors can influence the timing of the aspens’ changing colors: rainfall, nighttime frost, tree health. You know: It’s complicated. I felt compelled to shake some information out of the internet as it relates to aspens after participating in a series of very silly and, sadly, public debates about when, exactly, the mountain would turn gold—conversations that indicated I had forgotten literally any botanical knowledge I ever possessed. In response to

Complex Learning Made Simple

my own idiocy, I spent a happy half hour reading about photosynthesis. Every now and then the internet comes through with something other than ads for leggings and evidence of our crumbling democracy. And after all, fall isn’t just a time for rugging up, joining the leafers and counting the days until Christmas cookies. We’re in back-to-school season, and chances are we all have something about which we’d like to learn more. The growth of online education has helped decrease the barriers to doing so. And many learners are taking advantage: According to Class Central, which tracks data related to Massive Open Online Courses, the top two providers—Coursera and edX—had, respectively, 37 and 18 million users last year. Santa Fe Institute is well known locally for its lectures and programs that deliver its scientists’ work to the public, but its online education program attracts users across the world. Complexity Explorer offers a wide variety of courses and mini-tutorials on subjects related to complexity science, many geared toward learners of any level. SFI’s new director for education, Carrie Cowan, recently relocated to Santa Fe from Bay Harbor, Maine, where she was the pre and postdoctoral education director at biomedical research facility The Jackson Lab. Cowan says Complexity Explorers’ users are “self-motivated learners,” and that “90 to 95 percent take the courses for fun.” Upcoming courses include the popular Introduction to Complexity (sign up immediately, the course started Oct. 1),

which covers topics such as: dynamics, chaos, fractals, information theory, selforganization, agent-based modeling and networks, and is free of charge. The course has been offered eight times since it launched in 2013 and has been taken by 38,000 students from all over the world. Other current courses include Introduction to Dynamical Systems and Chaos and, this winter, Fractals and Scaling. If a full-blown course feels unrealistic, Complexity Explorer also offers mini tutorials on topics such as machine learning, game theory and information theory. Cowan says one of the goals with Complexity Explorer is to continue developing “more entry points to complexity science” that help integrate real-world examples of how the science is used to make the topics more accessible to the non-complexity-scientists among us. She also hopes to develop a “Choose Your Own Adventure” type of system in which potential enrollees would be guided toward specific

courses based on their interests as well as their levels of expertise and knowledge. Cowan shifted from research to education after completing her doctorate in molecular cellular biology at University of California, Berkeley. The shift was a result of spending time in the research lab with her students and postdocs and “seeing their pathway through their education.” While getting a Ph.D and being able to focus long-term on specific research is valuable, “I think sometimes the good aspects get lost in the stressful aspects, so I felt it was important to make sure that students and postdocs were getting the most value out of their training.” More expansively, she says, “I think education is generally how we change the world.” (agreed!) Cowan had been familiar with SFI since graduate school, and sees its online education portal having both an altruistic function—“there is a genuine wish that Complexity Explorer exists” as well as a “tangible benefit in hopefully getting our tools, our discoveries that are made here into the broader world.” Part of that mission includes a volunteer project to translate Complexity Explorer’s courses. Since the project began in 2014, volunteers have subtitled the video courses into 63 languages: Arabic, Spanish and Mandarin are the top non-English languages, but volunteers also have subtitled the courses in English for the non-hearing and for those who speak English as as a second language. According to SFI’s summer edition of its newsletter Parallex, 467 people have contributed subtitles so far. “It’s so impressive to see how many people have volunteered,” Cowan says, “and it really reflects that Complexity Explorer has a real community behind it.” Santa Fe Institute offers both courses and tutorials through its online education portal: complexityexplorer.org/ Volunteer to help subtitle courses at: complexityexplorer.org/support/ volunteer-to-subtitle-videos

For you see, there’s another way entirely, dear reader, and it’s all about bugs. I speak of artist Steven Kutcher, a creator who merges his love of fine art and entomology into one passion. Kutcher captures (or, perhaps, borrows) insects from near his home and personal butterfly garden. Said insects then walk through specially blended pigments and onto the canvas, creating a strange human/insect collaboration that is both alluring and scientifically, mathematically fascinating.

Kozmic News Dawn comes at last for rarely-seen photos by Janis Joplin’s right-hand man The person behind the camera is often as enigmatic and interesting as the subject. This is especially true of John Byrne Cooke, who was, among many things, Janis Joplin’s road manager from 1967 until her untimely death in 1970. “I knew John,” says Maria Hajic, director of the department of naturalism and contemporary western art at Gerald Peters Gallery. “He was a quirky guy; he was a character. Very, very smart.” Cooke graduated from Harvard with a degree in Romance languages and played with a bluegrass band in Massachusetts before moving to San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district—ground zero for the burgeoning acid rock movement of the time. He was recommended to manage Joplin’s band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, by Bob Dylan’s manager, and suddenly found himself in a position to document the counterculture of the 1960s from the inside. The series of photographs opening this Friday (the 39th anniversary of Joplin’s death) at Gerald Peters features candid shots, onstage and off, of not just Joplin but Dylan, Jimi Hendrix and other music icons. The cultural mythology tied

to the subjects and the photographer elevate the works into the realm of fine art, but the story behind the gallery’s acquisition is intensely personal. “He left his work to an artist I represent,” Hajic tells SFR. She connected with Cooke through that artist. “I was always surprised that he liked me. …It’s a personal show for me. During the time I knew him, Janis would just pop up in conversation and it’d be like, ‘Wow, I still can’t believe you were her road manager and you knew all of these people, and you were there to see it.’ And being a musician, he really got it.” With the folks in town who experienced the ’60s scene first-hand, Hajic believes Cooke’s photos are especially relevant. These originals are exhibited in collaboration with a showing of original small-format films captured by Cooke on the road with Joplin, which is taking place later this month on Oct. 20 with help from the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival.

MUSIC Drogon is kind of a silly name for a dragon, but composer Ramin Djawadi (below) still slayed at the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience.

Endgame Composer Ramin Djawadi proves that ‘Game of Thrones’ will not go gently into that good night

B Y M AT T H E W G U T I E R R E Z @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ver its nine years at the forefront of the world’s social consciousness, everyone paid attention to Game of Thrones at some point. How could you not? There were the pop-culture references, the toys, actor endorsements and LOTS of awards. Now, months after the series ending, another array of Emmys, including Best Drama Series, and announcements of upcoming spinoffs on HBO, it’s obvious the phenomenon Just. Won’t. Die. In fact, it’s growing, exploding, really, off the page and screen and into

full-fledged and immersive live concert experiences. Perhaps it’s because GoT creator George RR Martin calls Santa Fe home, but there was something particularly triumphant about the Santa Fe performance of a new show, a bit of everything for everyone, from the newest converts to the most seasoned fans. A boatload of just such concert-goers congregated at the Santa Fe Opera on Monday night for the Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience, and disappointingly, not one cosplayer was among them. Unlike the sights you’ll regularly see at the Jean Cocteau when the theater screens episodes, not one Dany T or Jonny Snow could be seen in the crowd. Still, spirits were high, and it was nearly impossible to explore without encountering the ephemera, such as a GoT banner for photo ops, a heavily populated merch stand and Martin’s pre-recorded voice echoing from a table and out into the night. Composer Ramin Djawadi (who also scored the first Iron Man movie) seemed to be riding high. Fresh after winning an Emmy for the score to the episode “The Long Night,” his energy was palpable while conducting Santa Fe musicians through

his music. A self-proclaimed “non-lyricist,” Djawadi’s pieces transported the audience to signature moments throughout the show’s run, beginning from season one in 2011 (it really has been that long, hasn’t it?!), to this year’s final season, chronicling the epic scope as a massive ultra-HD screen above the stage projected new animations made just for the performance and clips from the show for reference points. But it was much more than that—the set seemed to come alive differently with every single song.

“’The Rains of Castamere’ is incredibly special to me,” the composer said to the audience. “[Show creators] Dan [Weiss] and Dave [Benioff ] were filming season two and they said to me, ‘We want you to make this theme, George already wrote the lyrics in the book.’ Well, little did I know, this theme would be a central point of the show and ‘The Red Wedding.’” Immediately after, the screen played the harrowing scene: the final moments of Robb and Catelyn Stark at the hands of the nefarious Walder Frey. “It’s a little difficult to play,” Djawadi jested. “I knew we’d be battling the elements, but it’s also hard to carry through some of these incredibly sad songs—but not all of them are sad.” Djawadi then moved to the side of the stage, performing Arya’s theme, “Needle,” on the hammered dulcimer. It wasn’t the only instrument he played, either—he also led the orchestra with a Les Paul guitar. Arguably, the most impressive piece of the night was “Light of the Seven,” from the sixth season, the stage bathed in a neon green light in an homage to the series’ wildfire, a powerful flammable agent that turned the tides of war on the show more than once; steam poured out of hidden fixtures all over the stage, upping the immersion factor incredibly. Season seven and eight’s songs were by far the most haunting. Whether an effect of the body in the late-hour elements, or by their morose tone, the tension-building “Battle of Winterfell” stirred goosebumps, while snippets of “The Bells” proved similarly disturbing as the bass echoed through the roaring winds and the screen showed the decimation of King’s Landing at the hands of a grief-stricken and possibly mad Daenerys. Perhaps if the disappointing last season had relied on orchestral work alone, it would have been significantly more enjoyable, but one need not be a fan to appreciate what Djawadi and the Santa Fe Opera accomplished on Monday night.

Changes are afoot twice a week after school

ALEX DE VORE

SEEDs Charts Growth for Young Santa Fe Women n a room lined with the flags of the world at Monte del Sol Charter School on the Southside, dance instructor and Pomegranate Studios founder Myra Krien and a handful of young women form a circle. It’s early evening and the light is changing at the end of a long day to a pleasing golden color. It’s calm and cool and pleasant, and everyone quietly takes turns telling the circle what they’re grateful for, what they believe they’re good at doing. There’s no judgement or sarcasm here, only the unspoken permission to be oneself. The program is called Pomegranate SEEDs, and Krien has been conducting it since 2001 during the regular schoolyear in Santa Fe—nine months broken into three-month units focused on a well-rounded curriculum of mental and physical well-being, self-esteem, media literacy, self-care, financial health and much more. Basically, if there’s an area from which the participants would like to learn, they’ll get a chance; Krien says the program is always evolving. “I was out on my own at 15 and completely unequipped to do all these things,” Krien says of the impetus behind the program. She also invites local professionals from the community to speak about their careers and answer any questions the group might have with the ultimate goal to prepare participants for what to expect in their lives after high school, whether that’s applying for an apartment or job, buying a car, navigating credit or even just exercises for dealing with anxiety;

Yeva Chisolm, Myra Krien and Ulani Joiner after a recent session of Pomegrante SEEDs.

some guests just talk about how their work is cool. “And of course,” Krien adds, “we dance.” Most often that’s bellydance, an art form for which Krien is imminently wellknown and one the participants tell me has worked in tandem with the other lessons to provide boosts in confidence and self-esteem. SEEDs even won a 2018 Mayor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts for the impact on the community. “I can liken it to people who feel like their lives were changed by team sports, but for me, this is an art form,” Krien explains. “The dance part is transformative; it’s like, she went in this way and came out that way—that’s the dance, it really is.” The move to Monte del Sol is a relatively new one. For the last few years, Krien has taught the workshops out of

her dance studio on Paseo de Peralta, but growing interest meant a bigger space, and the school is happy to provide. SEEDs is also completely free and open to young women from anywhere in town aged 13 to 18. This means lots of fundraising for Krien, but it’s worth it. Monte del Sol chips in a little, too. On the day I visit, the dancing has already been danced and the group is winding down. I speak about writing for a living, offering up a few juicy nuggets of local cultural information and also sort of bragging that I’m paid to watch movies. I jest, but I’m trying to align myself with a core tenet of the program, namely, that one needn’t fit into a neat and tidy category to make a life for oneself—you can be an arts dork and not starve. This information seems to work particularly for Krien’s student Yeva

Chisolm. At 19, she’s a little older than the others in the group, but the Oregon native is actually here as part of her self-written curriculum from Prescott College in Arizona. She’s been working with Krien for just about a year. “I wasn’t a dancer before, I wasn’t comfortable in my body and I definitely have issues with self-esteem,” Chisolm says. “But I thought, this is going to be the fastest way to get over myself and do some cool shit in the world.” When all is said and done, Chisolm will have earned a degree in the arts and Krien will have passed along her SEEDs lessons to her. Chisolm says she plans to take the program out into the world and pass it on after she completes her bachelor’s, and that she can’t properly quantify how it’s improved her life. “I only have a vague vision of where I want to go with it,” she tells SFR, “but I definitely want to teach it. I just want to make art.” For 14-year-old Ulani Joiner, a student of Monte del Sol, SEEDs started with a fascination with bellydance, but then morphed into something more. “I just thought it was a really beautiful dance … it was scary at first and my self-esteem wasn’t the greatest,” she says, “but it’s getting better.” Therein lies the value, or at least one of the more richly interesting elements of the SEEDs program—it’s OK to be a work in progress; that’s honest, that’s all of us. “You’d be amazed at how many deep and philosophical tenets are uncovered, though, “Krien says. “It’s pretty powerful.” Indeed, because there is no competition, and there is no particular agenda outside of helping. “It’s pulling yourself away from your parents and trying to see yourself reflected back in the community around you,” Krien adds.

Best Value & Great Location COURTESY JOE R LANSDALE

Do you anxiously await the next installment in the Hap and Leonard novels? Did you love Buba Hotep? If so, you may just be a Joe R Lansdale fan. Don’t worry, though—that’s a good thing. Lansdale comes to Santa Fe this week for the aptly titled LansdalePalooza, a full evening of themed activities alongside his old pal George RR Martin at Martin’s Jean Cocteau Cinema (5 pm Saturday October 5. $10. 418 Montezuma Ave., 466-5528). He’ll sign copies of The Elephant of Surprise, the theater screens Buba Hotep and Lansdale and Martin engage in conversation. (Alex De Vore) I read someplace in an interview from a few years back that your biggest trick to writing is just showing up. Do you still feel that? I definitely feel that’s true. I talk to people all the time—just yesterday I was at a book club with people who want to be writers, and I told them inspiration comes from you. You’re it. I said to think back to the day you were inspired and remember what you wrote that day, then compare it to the days you don’t feel inspired, you’ll find they’re generally the same. I show up five to seven days a week. I work roughly three hours a day, sometimes less. If I work 30 minutes and I get three to five pages, then I stop. If I have more coming, I go on, but I rarely pass three hours. When I started in the ‘70s as a young man in my 20s, I found it very difficult to sit there and write, I’d rather have read, and I always started out my morning with a little bit of reading, I still do, but back then I had a harder time stopping.

It seems people struggle to place you in a genre. Does that feel good? Weird? Some combination? I think it’s flattering. I like that. That is what I’m striving for. I don’t want people saying ‘I wanna pick up a horror book, I wanna pick up a thriller book’ I want them saying ‘I wanna pick up a Joe Lansdale book,’ even if some of the things I’ve written fit in those boxes. I don’t have a problem with someone saying I wrote a horror story, but I have a problem with someone saying I’m a horror writer, I’ve always brought different elements from different genres. Haven’t had a chance to read the new one yet, but I hear it’s action, action, action. How do you decide to go for something like that, and does it change up your process in any way? The thing for me with Hap and Leonard, I’ve always tried to make it like that same universe, the same guys, but I’ve always tried to have those guys evolve. The first [book] is the caper gone bad, the second is the serial killer novel to some extent, the third is ... I don’t know what that is, but the whole point is that each time out I try to write about the characters … it’s different but the same. Next time out who knows, I may write a highly introspective novel about them. I write like everyone I know is dead, and by that I mean I can’t be sitting there writing with my wife, friends, agents, looking over my shoulder and trying to write for them. I try to do what interests me. Then I hope after I’m done there will be people interested in what I’m interested in. I got into writing to entertain me.

Sampling Santarepa A

long time ago, in a place far, far away, I occupied a small basement apartment. Upstairs were the fancy places with incredible water and mountain views. Downstairs, I had a comfy little spot which opened to a tree-lined backyard shared with my basement neighbor. At some point, my neighbor took an extended trip and had a friend housesit for her. I was immediately happy with my new short-term neighbor, Ruben, a cheerful flight attendant originally from Venezuela. He had a quick, big smile gleaming with adult braces, and a beautiful accent. He called me “Ceebee” and my cats, Jack and Bo Chabot, “Yack” and “BooBoo.” Our friendship progressed from tips on speaking each other’s native languages to cooking lessons, me teaching dishes from the Pacific Northwest and he the fine art of the arepa. Basically maize-based patties, arepas are similar to Salvadorian pupusas and Mexican gorditas, that can be fried, grilled, steamed or baked and then topped or filled with all kinds of delicious goodies. Being that the arepa’s origins are pre-Columbian, folks in the region they come from—now Columbia and Venezuela—have had a long time to master cooking and filling them. Ruben taught me to make plain ones, which I could top with whatever I liked from butter, sugar and cinnamon to cheese and a fried egg, or cut open and fill like a sandwich. I was never able to make them as moist and crispy as he did, but I loved the rich sweetness the corn brought to something I had more commonly experienced as plain ol’ bread or boring pancakes. Ruben’s accent and smile were on my mind as I entered Santarepa Café (229 Johnson St., 467-8379) for lunch. I wasn’t three steps in when someone sang out, “Be right with you!” with that same lilting accent I had been missing. The bright, clean space was packed with lunchtime diners, both local and tourists, and the menu was just what I’d

been craving with more than a dozen varieties of breakfast and lunch arepas, plus cachapas (sweet corn pancakes) and empanadas. There was almost too much to choose from, but my anxieties wafted away when my eyes fell upon the #17; Santarepa Sampler 1 ($13.50).

SFREPORTER.COM

Santarepa Café’s sampler plates let diners choose different fillings from across the menu, all served up in mini “-ita” versions. The Sampler 1 consists of two arepitas and two empanaditas along with two cheese cachapitas and sweet plantains. Trying to cover all

bases, my companion and I ordered the domino (cheese and black beans) and BLT for our mini-arepas and the jamon & queso for our mini-empanadas. If I could have fit more in my stomach, I would have also tried the La Vegana, a vegan filling of black beans, sweet plantains and avocado, and the Pabellon, black beans, shredded beef, sweet plantains and cheese. As it was, the smattering we ordered required the unbuttoning of the top button of my pants before I’d even made a dent. And, oh! The arepas. These were split open about twothirds of the way and overflowing with stuffings. The outside had a thin, crispy fried crust, while the inside was soft and pillowy. Though mini, they were stuffed so full of ingredients that they were more filling than they looked; the black beans well-seasoned and slightly smoky, topped with salty cheese. The BLT contained a surprising amount of crispy bacon and the addition of a creamy garlic sauce with a satisfying herbal kick. The empanaditas, meanwhile, were fried a beautiful golden color, the dough surrounding the salty ham and rich gouda was fluffy, sweet and light. If only every kid who loved Hot Pockets could try one of these. The unexpected star of the sampler was the cachapas. These little rounds of cheese-topped corn cake were moist, delicate and chewy with kernels of corn adding to the texture and sweetness of each bite; an example of one of those dishes where the sum adds up to more than the parts. Santarepa Café offers both a savory garlic sauce and brightly herbal chimichurri sauce that lend an extra layer of “yum” to something already delicious. It took a while for the dishes to arrive but I was kept very happy by a large glass of tart, fresh passion fruit juice ($2.50). Once the food was settled in front of me, my server pointed out that everything was fresh, handmade, which is why it takes a little longer than some people might expect. But I could have spent all day listening to the voices and smelling the smells in this lovely family-operated spot so I just smiled and responded, “Good things come to those who wait, right?”

Don’t Break Down: A Film About Jawbreaker

RATINGS BEST MOVIE EVER

Review

Save your generation

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

It ended with a fistfight by the side of the road as Jawbreaker bassist Chris Bauermeister lunged at singer/guitarist Blake Schwarzenbach during mounting inter-band tensions. Years of relentless touring, cross-country moves and going major label had exhausted the trio and made them pariahs of the punk rock world, and with sales of their final album Dear You tanking, it was over. Fast-forward 20 years, and filmmakers Tim Irwin and Keith Schieron (of the Minutemen doc We Jam Econo) present an in-depth look at the forming of Jawbreaker, the subsequent years rising to fame and the pressure-filled descent into obscurity—outside of most punks, that is— until the second life of Dear You some years later and, eventually, Bauermeister, Schwarzenbach and drummer Adam Pfahler’s unexpected 2017 Riot Fest reuinion. Don’t Break Down was actually released in 2017, but a new deal with a wider release finds it

on streaming services such as Amazon Prime for the first time. For longtime fans, it’s a blessing, a strange journey of art school weirdos, battling egos and punk rock ethics as told by the band, their contemporaries, and those they inspired like Smoking Popes’ Josh Caterer and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. We even hear from famed producer Steve Albini, though it’s possible he thought he was working with the band Jawbox the entire time. Mistaken identity, politics and hurt feelings aside, it’s a deeply fascinating look at the missing link of punk, a band that inspired countless acts— who should have made it, and came so close, but that was never fully appreciated in their own time by the masses. As one interview subject implies in the film, while many looked to

Green Day as the bridge between punk and the everyman, it was actually Jawbreaker’s mantle, though one they tragically lost. Don’t Break Down thus becomes required viewing for the punk rock elite, the poseurs and those who still believe poetry can come with distorted guitars and raspy voices. For old-timers, it’s a feeling that we’re still part of a community, for newcomers, it’s a lesson in a brief window in the ’90s when everyone wanted to be punk. For everyone else, it’s a solid music documentary with a subtle lesson: Keep passing the open windows.

JUDY

+ ZELLWEGER GETS THERE ONCE OR TWICE

- FEELS HOLLOW AND MANIPULATIVE

They don’t really make them like Judy Garland anymore, but that’s a good thing—”they” are the monstrous studios that treated their actors like cattle; “they” are the ravenous audiences who acted like they could lay claim to the movie stars. Based on the Peter Quilter play The End of the Rainbow, new biopic Judy finds Renée Zellweger as Garland during the last stage of her life as she embarked upon a series of shows in London, circa 1968. With several failed marriages, one Liza Minnelli and a couple of younger kids in the wings, a homeless Garland is all but forced to tackle the run to make a few bucks so she can be closer to her children, but she’s running on the last failing fumes of her falling star and has become a ball of nerves and anxiety. Certainly the stories of her studio upbringing are almost as legendary as Garland herself; how Louis B Mayer practically tortured Garland as a teen, rarely letting her

eat, putting her on a regimen of pills for weight and energy and consistently threatening to take the stardom away. We see some of this, a little bit of Mayer backlit to portray evil, looming and towering over the young Garland (Darci Shaw) as he manipulates her. But then it’s back to 1960s Judy post-haste, and no supply of Zellweger sulking in bathrooms and cracking wise to doctors about how four ex-husbands didn’t cure her depression can make us feel for her. Instead, it almost feels lazy, like the whole of an iconic woman’s existence distilled into too much drinking and a bunch of embarrassing snafus onstage and off to prove how hard her life was. We were already there, frankly, but rarely does this version of Garland make her feel like a human person, even when she literally announces she is. So it’s really more like summoning pity than empathy. Judy starts to lag, which is a shame as all the ingredients are right there for something wonderful. But between the poorly explained relationships, like American Horror Story‘s Finn Wittrock as Garland’s final husband Mickey Deans or a pair of gay men whose scenes feel tacked on by some exec who figured they needed a brief mention of gayness to check CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

some arbitrary box, and all the underdeveloped side characters, the pacing becomes downright bizarre and repetitive. “Will she get onstage?” we wonder to ourselves again and again before realizing we don’t actually give a shit since nobody bothered to make it worth our time. You’ll definitely be hearing about Zellweger come awards season as her performance does approach sensational a number of times. But for a better (and weirdly similar) biopic, try the far superior Stan & Ollie from last year. (ADV)

OFFICIAL SECRETS

+ JOURNALISM IS COOL; INTERESTING - LOSES FOCUS; KNIGHTLEY’S CONSTANT YELLING

Setting aside its absolutely dreadful title, director Gavin Hood’s Official Secrets proves a compelling political/journalistic thriller based on true events and a surprisingly juicy bit of drama set during the lead up to the war in Iraq. Keira Knightley plays Katherine Gun, a real-life

British intelligence translator who worked for England’s Government Communications Headquarters, sort of like America’s NSA, circa 2003. Gun comes into possession of a memo from the NSA implicating surveillance efforts for key members of the United Nations Security Council, an act that would essentially strong-arm votes for George W Bush’s post-9/11 war, and one that would require support from allies in British intelligence. This doesn’t sit well with our heroine, so she leaks the document to an anti-war activist friend, setting into motion a series of events that finds famed newspaper The Guardian printing the information and exposing the US and England’s lies. Meanwhile, Katherine confesses and faces the consequences of violating the Official Secrets Act, a Parliamentary action established by Margaret Thatcher in 1989 to gag whistleblowers, even when the information is in line with public interest. As we know, the war in Iraq began without the needed UN votes anyway, and the whole WMD thing was nothing but a thinly veiled lie. Gun’s own conflicts raged on despite her unabashed patriotism. Knightley tackles the role with grace and intensity despite odd moments of shouting at the

very people trying to help her. A brief but powerful turn from Ralph Fiennes as a lawyer from the organization Liberty (like our ACLU) is satisfying in its ruminations on morality and governmental ethics, and Dr. Who alum Matt Smith’s role as Guardian journalist Martin Bright follows in the footsteps of requisite journalism movies like The Post and All the President’s Men. Still, Official Secrets vacillates a little too much between its storylines. Is it a lesson in ethos, a newspaper movie, a political thriller or … what? It’s kind of all those things, though it doesn’t stick with any one long enough. Granted, it’s always thrilling to see films about regular people andhard-nosed journalists stepping up to do what’s right against seemingly terrifying odds, but in painting with broad strokes, many of the characters therein feel like caricatures. Game of Thrones‘ Conleth Hill, for example, serves up a weirdly hammy performance as a Guardian editor underneath whose epithets and profanity the ground shakes. Knightley’s scenes begin to feel less important somehow, although it seems like Hood’s shots after she comes clean are framed like CCTV camera angles; apropos both for the movie’s content and for a country that famously has more surveillance cameras than citizens. In the end, we learn (or re-learn) governments lie to justify wars, though the real sadness lies in how we usually just nod our heads like that’s the most obvious thing in the world. (ADV)

+ ODDLY PLEASANT; DOGS ARE OBJECTIVELY AWESOME

- NOT WILDLY ACCESSIBLE

The oldest skatepark in Santiago, Chile, Los Reyes, sits just outside the looming metropolis itself, an oasis for Chilean youths, but also the home turf of Chola and Football, a pair of street dogs. Day by day, the elderly and stately Football tosses whatever items she finds in the large bowls where the skaters ride with the more youthful Chola at their side. Sometimes they toss the items back to the dogs, sometimes the dogs are left to their own devices. Days turn into weeks and months. Skating events pop up and fade away. Some skaters share food with the dogs, some roll joints and bemoan their home lives. There are arguments and jokes told; a pregnancy and birth; the tale of a mother’s boyfriend hell-bent on ruining breakfast for a late-rousing teen. We learn bits and pieces of these young Chileans’ lives through audio alone as Football and Chola stand watch in the foreground, barking at passers-by, bathing in the park sprinklers and lazing in the heat of the sun— kings of the skatepark and fixtures for sure.

Los Reyes kinda made us envy a pair of street dogs in Chile. Directors Iván Osnovikoff and Bettina Perut’s Los Reyes certainly qualifies as interesting, or maybe unique (as trite as that sounds), but only to a point. Word is, the pair originally set out to make a documentary about the skateboarding youth who hang around Los Reyes. Concerns about being identified, however, leave said teens out-of-frame at all times, but we do hear snippets of their stories played against footage of Football and Chola’s daily lives. There’s a parable in there somewhere. Probably. It’s a challenge to stay focused on the stories during the thousandth shot of a panting dog embattled by summer heat or the closeup of insects clinging to fur. There is surely something to be said about Football and Chola’s freedom juxtaposed against the teens’ perceived oppression, but we only get word-of-mouth accounts peppered in with talk both hubristic and naive. Never do we learn if their lives are actually bad or good or in-between. We assume it’s the latter. Still, some kids think they’ll escape their humdrum lives through skateboarding, others literally announce their invincibility. It’s charming and silly and nostalgic in a way that eventually becomes borderline painful to hear. Because maybe we do grow up too fast, and maybe we do let go of our youthful hubris before we’re ready, and that’s a shame. If a pair of street

BRITTANY RUNS A MARATHON

+ BELL IS AMAZING; SWEET AND DISARMING

- CONFLICTS FEEL SHOEHORNED

Thank goodness for Workaholics alum Jillian Bell, as funny an actor as is out there today and the person who, at least in her new film Brittany Runs a Marathon, seems to be taking over the Amy Schumer–ish body positivity mantle, only with results that feel like they actually matter and a more nuanced performance than Schumer could muster on her best day. Bell is Brittany, a schlubby late-20s New York transplant from Philly who spends her nights drinking too much and/or canoodling in club bathrooms and her days late to work and/ or placating her thin and vapid roommate (Alice Lee). All that changes, however, when a trip to the doctor in search of Adderall finds Brittany confronted with her unhealthy life choices. A subsequent chance encounter with a neighbor who seemingly has her life together (Michaela Watkins, with whom Bell shared the screen in the recent Sword of Trust and with whom Bell shares an eerie natural chemistry) helps, too, and before we know it, Brittany decides she’s going to run the New York City Marathon. Here comes the montage of workouts and nay-saying toxic relationships, and as the pounds start melting off, replaced by confidence but not ridding our hero of her neuroses, a subtle morality play unfolds, asking us to assess why we do the things we do, why we believe the things we believe and whether or not our bodies should define us. Of course they shouldn’t, and whereas other, similar films we might not have strayed too far from chubby girl gets thin and learns a thing or two about life, Brittany Runs a Marathon sneakily shifts from the weight loss shtick to encompass a more complete idea of self-improvement. Throw in a will-they/won’tthey thing with a sort-of coworker named Jern

(Utkarsh Ambudkar, Pitch Perfect), y’know, to humanize Brittany and sweeten the deal. It might have felt hackneyed, but Bell and Ambudkar are straight up adorable together, so it works. Director Paul Downs Colaizzo, who penned the script based loosely on a real life friend, deserves kudos for tackling the matter with sensitivity and graceful humor, though Bell’s role as executive producer might have lent a hand. She owns the role of Brittany, too, portraying a flawed and damaged and dimensional person, temper tantrums and all, but one for whom it’s easy to root and who winds up inspiring in a way that doesn’t feel like movie absurdity. Don’t expect to laugh out loud, but do expect some self examination once you leave the theater. (ADV)

BUDDY came to us in July 2018 after his family could no longer care for him. This sweet 13 year old boy loves one-on-one attention. BUDDY would thrive in a quiet home with someone who will spend time with him. He would enjoy being an only cat, or perhaps a companion to another gentle cat or cat friendly dog. He loves to sit on your lap, he is a snuggler and has a hearty purr. BUDDY has been waiting a long time for a second chance. BUDDY CAN BE SEEN AT OUR HABITAT AT TECA TU AT THE DEVARGAS CENTER.

ALFINIA is a gorgeous 1 year old girl that is very outgoing and confident. She is still very much like a kitten and loves to play with toys. She has an engaging personality and likes attention, but will let you know when she has had enough. She has beautiful markings and we think she may have some Maine Coon heritage. ALFINIA would be fine as an only cat or in a home with another mellow cat companion or a cat-friendly dog. ALFINIA CAN BE SEEN AT OUR ADOPTION CENTER INSIDE PETCO IN SANTA FE.

Week of October 2nd

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1956, the U.S. federal government launched a program to build 40,000 miles of high-speed roads to connect all major American cities. It was completed 36 years later at a cost of $521 billion. In the coming months, I’d love to see you draw inspiration from that visionary scheme. According to my analysis, you will generate good fortune for yourself as you initiate a long-term plan to expand your world, create a more robust network, and enhance your ability to fulfill your life’s big goals.

begin by visualizing the recent events I’ve experienced, then luxuriously scroll in reverse through my entire past, as if watching a movie starring me. It’s not possible to remember every single scene and feeling, of course, so I allow my deep self to highlight the moments it regards as significant. Here’s another fun aspect of this ritual: I bestow a blessing on every memory that comes up, honoring it for what it taught me and how it helped me to become the person I am today. Dear Libra, now is an excellent time for you to experiment with a similar celebration.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus-born Youtube blogger Hey Fran Hey has some good advice for her fellow Bulls, and I think it’ll be especially fresh and potent in the coming weeks. She says, “Replacing ‘Why is this happening to me?’ with ‘What is this trying to tell me?’ has been a game changer for me. The former creates a hamster wheel, where you’ll replay the story over and over again. Victimized. Stuck. The latter holds space for a resolution to appear.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Depression is when you think there’s nothing to be done,” writes author Siri Hustvedt. “Fortunately I always think there’s something to be done.” I offer this hopeful attitude to you, Scorpio, trusting that it will cheer you up. I suspect that the riddles and mysteries you’re embedded in right now are so puzzling and complicated that you’re tempted to think that there’s nothing you can do to solve them or escape them. But I’m here to inform you GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “The soul has illusions as that if that’s how you feel, it’s only temporary. Even the bird has wings: it is supported by them.” So more importantly, I’m here to inform you that there is declared French author Victor Hugo. I don’t share his indeed something you can do, and you are going to view. In fact, I regard it as an insulting misapprehenfind out what that is sooner rather than later. sion. The truth is that the soul achieves flight SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “How inconvenient through vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions to be made of desire,” writes Sagittarian author Larissa and uninhibited longings and non-rational hypothePham. “Even now, want rises up in me like a hot oil. I ses and wild hopes—and maybe also by a few illusions. I bring this to your attention because now is an want so much that it scares me.” I understand what she means, and I’m sure you do, too. There are indeed excellent time to nurture your soul with vivid fantasies and effervescent intuitions and uninhibited long- times when the inner fire that fuels you feels excessive and unwieldy and inopportune. But I’m happy to report ings and non-rational hypotheses and wild hopes. that your mood in the coming weeks is unlikely to fit CANCER (June 21-July 22): I know people of all genthat description. I’m guessing that the radiant pulse of ders who periodically unleash macho brags about your yearning will excite you and empower you. It’ll be how little sleep they need. If you’re normally like brilliant and warm, not seething and distracting. that, I urge you to rebel. The dilemmas and riddles CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): I envision the next you face right now are very solvable IF and only IF twelve months as a time when you could initiate funyou get sufficient amounts of sleep and dreams. Do damental improvements in the way you live.

Champion basketball player LeBron James devotes 12 invention of the wheel or the compass or the calendar. hours a day to the rejuvenating sanctuary of sleep. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Modern literary critic LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Actor and dancer Fred Astaire William Boyd declared that Aquarian author Anton was a pioneer in bringing dance into films as a serious Chekhov (1860–1904) was “the best short-story writer ever,” and “the first truly modern writer of ficart form. He made 31 musical films during the 76 years he worked, and was celebrated for his charisma, tion: secular, refusing to pass judgment, cognizant of the absurdities of our muddled, bizarre lives and the impeccable technique, and innovative moves. At the height of his career, from 1933 to 1949, he teamed up complex tragi-comedy that is the human condition.” with dancer Ginger Rogers in the creation of ten popu- Another contemporary critic, Harold Bloom, praised Chekhov’s plays, saying that he was “one of the three lar movies. In those old-fashioned days, virtually all partner dancing featured a male doing the lead part as seminal figures in the birth of early modernism in the theatre.” We might imagine, then, that in the course the female followed. One witty critic noted that of his career, Chekhov was showered with accolades. although Astaire was a bigger star than Rogers, she We’d be wrong about that, though. “If I had listened “did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it to the critics,” he testified, “I’d have died drunk in the backwards and while wearing high heels.” According gutter.” I hope that what I just said will serve as a to my reading of the astrological omens, you may pep talk for you as you explore and develop your own soon be called on to carry out tasks that are metaphorically comparable to those performed by Rogers. original notions in the coming weeks. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your number one therapy in the coming weeks? Watching animals. It would be the healthiest thing you could undertake: relax into a generously receptive mode as you simply observe creatures doing what they do. The best option would be to surrender to the pleasures of communing with both domesticated AND wild critters. If you need a logical reason to engage in this curative and rejuvenating activity, I’ll give you one: It will soothe and strengthen your own animal intelligence, which would be a tonic gift for you to give yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Pisces-born Dorothy Steel didn’t begin her career as a film actress until she was 91 years old. She had appeared in a couple of TV shows when she was 89, then got a small role in an obscure movie. At age 92, she became a celebrity when she played the role of a tribal elder in Black Panther, one of the highest-grossing films of all time. I propose that we make her one of your inspirational role models for both the coming weeks and the next twelve months. Why? Because I suspect you will be ripening fully into a role and a mission you were born to embody and express.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Every time my birthday season comes around, I set aside an entire day to engage in a life review. It lasts for many hours. I
