NEWS, MAY 11: “WINDS OF CHANGE”

ONE MORE THING The interview with LANL scientist Adam Atchley about new modeling for prescribed burns in the future is very timely and needed. I suppose that there will be some tweaks in the exponential weighting of some items within the multi-factorial model and perhaps add one or two new ones. This model will then be run through several iterations on one of LANL’s super computers until the best time window is revealed for the “controlled” burn. But wait! Please do one more thing before you proceed with the fire. Go home and watch the local news/weather report. If they show a high wind, red flag warning for the week, don’t start the damn fire.

CORRECTION Last week’s cover story “Where Will the Water Come From?” incorrectly stated the unit of measurement for the volume of water shortages Santa Fe could face in 2070. That estimate is 3 to 15 kilo-acre-feet per year. The story also noted population growth since 1995 has outpaced water consumption. To clarify, we meant the population served by the city water system.

Trial of Attrition Defense attorney planning to appeal murder conviction as Montoya awaits sentencing B Y G R A N T C R AW F O R D g r a n t @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

n the midst of wildfires spreading throughout New Mexico, a heated debate burned during a two-week trial in Santa Fe’s First Judicial District Courthouse, as Estevan Montoya argued his innocence in the shooting death of local basketball star Fedonta “JB” White.

A Santa Fe County jury ruled against Montoya, finding him guilty of first-degree murder. Now, the teenager who was 16 when charged as an adult, awaits sentencing while his attorneys prepare to appeal. At a time when criminal jus-

tice reform advocates are calling for relaxed punishments for those convicted of crimes committed as juveniles, Montoya is facing up to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years.

Because Montoya was found guilty as a serious youthful offender, Judge T. Glenn Ellington has full discretion at sentencing—anywhere from zero years to the maximum sentence. The District Attorney’s Office is expected to ask for the maximum punishment, but Chief Deputy DA Jennifer Padgett Macias says the state is still reviewing the case.

Defense attorney Dan Marlowe anticipates the judge will throw the book at his client.

“I think the judge is going to max him out if he can,” Marlowe tells SFR. “This judge is totally, totally, politically motivated. At least it appears that way.”

The basics of the case were irrefutable: Somewhere between 50 and 150 teens

showed up for a party in Chupadero in August 2020, multiple fights broke out and one confrontation ended when Montoya fired a .380-caliber pistol, killing 18-yearold White. Under dispute were the circumstances that led to the shooting.

The defense theorized that Montoya was being attacked and shot in self defense. That claim suffered a major setback, though, when Ellington declined to instruct the jury to consider the self-defense argument.

After hearing evidence from the state, Ellington said there was “no reasonable basis for the type of fear Mr. Montoya claims to have had that necessitated him responding to one or two missed blows with deadly force and killing Mr. White.”

The state’s case focused heavily on witness testimony to show Montoya instigated the altercation, bringing a gun to a fist fight. Eighteen of the 30 witnesses prosecutors called to the stand were at the party that night.

It made for a lengthy trial for the family, friends, associates and legal teams. The hard, wooden benches in the gallery left attendees sore and achy, as an emotional cloud hung over the proceedings. The tense line of questioning and accounts about White’s final moments left some witnesses in tears and family members excusing themselves from the courtroom.

Those who were at the party, many of whom were minors at the time, say it was a typical gathering for a bunch of students and recent high school graduates.

The home in Chupadero was under renovation at the time and some rooms, like the master bedroom, were blocked off to keep partygoers out. A beer pong table was set up and music blasted in the house.

It was BYOB as kids passed around booze and weed. More than a few became very drunk.

The party wound down in the early morning hours, but not without a few drunken arguments occurring both inside and outside the house. However, none of the witnesses expected one of those confrontations to spiral out of control and end with one person dead and another in custody.

“It was one of the most unexpected things ever,” witness Isaac Trujillo testified.

White and Montoya were seen squaring up with one another outside the home.

Witnesses say they saw the 6-foot-4-inch White—who had opted to skip his senior year at Santa Fe High and was soon planning to join the University of New Mexico Lobos—swing and miss a couple of times, before the younger boy then pulled out his gun and fired one shot. From there, as evidenced by the multiple 911 calls and witness statements, the scene became even more hectic. Some of the partygoers, unsure of what just happened after the shot rang out, made a run for it.

“I didn’t know if we were going to make it out alive,” said Anna Hayes.

A group of teens scooped up White and met EMTs about halfway to Santa Fe. He was taken to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, where hospital staff attempted life-saving measures, but were unsuccessful.

As Montoya fled the scene, another shot rang out. One witness chasing after him remembers the sound of a bullet whizzing by his head, while another says she saw the dirt kick up where the projectile landed in front of her. Video evidence also shows what appears to be a laser sight pointing back toward the house shortly after the first shot went off, indicating Montoya was aiming the gun into the crowd of teens.

Montoya, the primary suspect, was arrested early in the morning on Aug. 1, 2020, telling investigators at first, “I didn’t shoot nobody.” Though a gun was never recovered, nor Montoya’s clothes he was wearing that night, none of that mattered. Witnesses placed him at the scene, holding a gun.

The defendant eventually claimed he was firing in self defense, telling jurors he was afraid for his life and shot behind him while attempting to evade White’s punches.

“The only option I had was the gun,” he testified.

Defense attorneys argue that because of the path of the bullet that killed White, he must have been bent over, as if he was

Any one of these young people could have been killed. It would have not made it any less tragic and it wouldn’t have made him any less guilty.

running or throwing a punch. An expert witness showed the jury White’s likely body position when he was shot.

The teen’s initial denial, the evidence he pointed the firearm back toward the house, the missing firearm and Montoya’s history of buying and selling guns was all too damning, though.

It was enough for the jury to convict him on the murder count, plus the additional charges of tampering with evidence, unlawful carrying of a handgun by a person under age 19 and negligent use of a deadly weapon. They deliberated for roughly four hours.

“If you want to talk about outrageously reckless conduct, indicating a depraved mind and lack of concern for other people’s lives, it’s right here, folks,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Blake Nichols said during closing arguments. “Any one of these young people could have been killed. It would have not made it any less tragic and it wouldn’t have made him any less guilty.”

Meanwhile, incidents in and outside the courtroom forced Ellington to step in.

On more than one occasion, he ordered attendees to leave the courthouse or change clothes for wearing colors similar to those worn by the Southside Goons—Montoya’s group of friends, which authorities say is a gang. In another instance, Ellington told a young man to take off a Philadelphia 76ers jersey—identical to the one White was wearing when he was killed.

Furthermore, Ellington ordered jail

officials to revoke Montoya’s phone privileges during the trial due to concerns of possible witness intimidation. Padgett Macias tells SFR after the trial: “There were serious safety concerns brought to the attention of the court.”

A case involving young kids at an unsupervised party, a local basketball star on his way to play at the collegiate level turned victim and a defendant who watched his friend get murdered just weeks prior, the trial captured the attention of the city and of Santa Fe officials.

Only attorneys saw it play out differently.

“There’s JB—tall, athletic, handsome kid; pretty girl on his arm all night long; just graduated early getting ready to go to college to play basketball. He’s successful, he’s friends with everybody at the party, he’s everything the defendant is not…JB’s his target,” Nichols told the jury.

White had a height and length advantage, Marlowe argued. Montoya, meanwhile, was still suffering from the shooting death of his friend Ivan Perez— just a kid afraid that “he might be next.”

“Estevan didn’t intentionally kill anybody; he reacted,” Marlowe said. “He was being chased by a pretty big guy.”

Now, Montoya’s next two challenges will come as he prepares to receive his sentence and then vie for a new trial.

There are around 75 people in New Mexico serving sentences longer than 15

years for crimes committed when they were under 18. Denali Wilson, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, says these kinds of sentences disproportionately impact communities of color. Throughout the state, 88% of those serving lengthy adult sentences for crimes committed as children are youths of color.

Montoya was charged as an adult by virtue of a state law written in 1993, based on, Wilson says, the “super-predator” theory that predicted the rise of a generation of remorseless, violent young people.

She says although the theory has since been debunked, it was used to justify a change in law that remains intact.

“Most children—even those involved in serious violence like in this case—will outgrow these tendencies, if given the chance to mature and develop,” Wilson tells SFR. “We simply cannot continue to justify exposing children to life-long adult sentences in the name of public safety.”

As Montoya waits for his sentencing hearing, Marlowe is already preparing to file an appeal on the grounds that Ellington committed a reversible error by ruling that self defense was not an available argument for the jury to consider.

“There was evidence all over the place it was self defense, from the state and from the witness stand,” Marlowe says. “That’s a jury question; not a judge’s question.”

Super Fire Northern New Mexico’s huge blaze continues to grow while another in the south is heating up fast

B

ulky Super Scoopers and helicopters trailing water buckets have roared seemingly daily over Northern New Mexico during the past month and change, as a historic megafire has consumed 311,148 acres. The fire’s growth has largely stagnated in the past week as crews have slowly increased containment to 41%, as of Tuesday.

The bright yellow, amphibious aircrafts built by the Canadian airplane manufacturer, Bombardier, have become a common sight in New Mexico. At one point during the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, every Super Scooper in the country was located at Santa Fe Airport to fight the fire.

But another fire, in Southern New Mexico, is growing with little restraint, forcing officials to pull some Super Scoopers away from the northern blaze.

In just 11 days, the Black Fire has consumed 154,911 acres in the Gila. The human-caused fire became the fourth largest fire in state history. At 11% containment, the Black Fire is all but guaranteed to surpass the 2011 Las Conchas Fire, the third largest, that burned over 156,000 acres.

Conversely, it took the Hermits Peak/ Calf Canyon Fire almost four weeks to reach 189,000 acres.

The Black Fire has burned through largely rugged and remote areas of Sierra, Grant and Catron counties, spurring evacuations. But the region has yet to see significant displacements, like those experienced in Northern New Mexico.

When the Mora County Sheriff’s Office came to his home in Buena Vista, telling him and his neighbors to evacuate, Joseph Weathers didn’t leave.

“They weren’t going to feed my cows.

Nobody’s gonna come by and feed them,” Weathers tells SFR, estimating that he distributed over 400 pounds of dog food to his neighbors’ animals.

Weathers stayed behind with his son-inlaw and grandson to protect his home and animals.

With flames only 200 yards from his house, aircrafts and helicopters circled nearby, collecting water from a lake to the south and dropping slurry over the fire.

“I thought I was in the middle of a war zone because all I hear is, you know, these airplanes flying over…my house,” Weathers tells SFR. The Black Fire continues to challenge firefighters due to its size, rough terrain and limited access. Unfavorable firefighting conditions seen across the state are expected for the Black Fire, including shifting winds and high temperatures.

Increasingly large fires across the state, fueled by drought and climate change, have set the stage for perhaps the worst fire season in New Mexico’s history.

Officials are watching the perimeter of the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire closely as it moves primarily along its western flank. On Monday, an infrared aircraft flew down the fire’s western edge to detect its boundary and officials found little movement in recent days.

The northerly winds forecast during the week are not expected to push anything out across the lines, said Fire Behavior Analyst Stewart Turner.

“With the moist fuels that we have around the fire I’m not expecting any of those to take or be any problem for the crews to pick up as long as they have their aircraft flying and assist with those,” Turner said during Monday evening’s fire update.

Critical fire weather—dry conditions and gusty winds—is expected to resume on Friday and stretch into the weekend.

While thousands were initially evacuated, several communities in the northwestern region including Angel Fire, Vadito, Placita, Rio Pueblo, Rock Wall, Las Mochas and Sipapu, have been downgraded to “ready” and residents have been allowed to return. Other areas remain under mandatory evacuation.

Danger Zone Discouraged and displaced Northern New Mexicans bear the brunt of fire’s destruction

BY J E F F P RO CTO R A N D WILLIAM MELHADO

M

ORA—Herman Romero was born a rancher—the fourth-generation kind.

The 60-year-old makes his home in tiny La Cueva, about 5 miles south of Mora. He makes his living in Chacon, 20 miles the other side of town, on a 400-acre spread that has been in his family since the 1800s. Romero has been working the ranch himself for more than three decades; these days, he runs about 65 head of bulls and heifers, plus another 40 calves.

So when the Hermits Peak/Calf Canyon Fire began its merciless march through the area last month and government officials ordered evacuations, there was never a question for Romero.

“They still expect us to up and leave,” he tells SFR in an interview from his home on May 20. “I didn’t leave the first time they told us to go, and I’m still not going to leave.”

And Romero hasn’t left since the blaze began eight weeks ago. Standing on his ranch split by Highway 121, Romero’s property spans the valley and evidence of the ongoing fire is everywhere.

A hot, active fire churns out thick, white and black smoke to the south; a mosaic of charred trees and green ponderosas, not fully burned, coats the eastern slope of Romero’s ranch, a former home, now twisted and scorched into a pile of corrugated roofing and bricks.

Romero isn’t throwing a hurricane party—the sort you might’ve read about in the runup to Katrina, Hugo or other large-scale disasters that sent clear, advance signals to either leave or die. Rather, like many others who live an agrarian lifestyle that’s foreign to many New Mexicans in this county of 4,500 people, he easily and angrily rolls out a litany of concerns about the government’s actions before and during the largest wildfire in state history as he explains his reasons for staying.

Romero and others who spoke with SFR question the decision to try a controlled burn—a conservation strategy that went sideways this time, ultimately leading to this mega-blaze—in the brutal April winds 12

of this Northern New Mexico spring. They struggle with the complicated government prohibitions on resident-led thinning. They criticize the “back-burning” techniques employed to demolish fuel sources once the fire was already cooking. And they can’t imagine why they haven’t been allowed to access their lands during the month-plus since the fire started burning.

“I’m pretty pissed off, because we’ve lost so much of what we’ve protected all our lives,” Romero says. “We want to protect what we have left; it’s not much.”

He does not believe either of his properties is still in danger, but Forest Service and State Police officials have kept Romero from traveling back and forth between them.

“We’ve had some serious problems,” he says. “I’ve had a helluva time getting up [to the ranch in Chacon] with all the roadblocks and the obnoxious law enforcement people…

But I know this country like the back of my hand. I know ways in and out of different areas; some of them are legal, some are not, but for your livelihood, you have to do what you have to do.”

Romero is a former Type-1 hotshot firefighter, and he’s never seen tactics like those deployed to tackle this blaze. He’s careful to distinguish between those giving the orders and those on the ground doing the work as he questions why so many Type-1 designates appear to be working from pickup trucks and why upwards of 20 bulldozers meant to cut suppression lines are instead sitting on the backs of trailers.

As for the back-burning strategy, in which officials are igniting what they consider to be easy tinder for the fire?

“They’re just burning everything we have,” Romero says. “And backing up, if they had been more aggressive, I believe this fire could have been stopped a long time ago. I’ve never seen the kinds of tactics these people are using. It’s really different.”

An exasperated Art Vigil has just returned from the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s temporary office at the Las Vegas evacuation center, located at the for-

mer Memorial Middle School. His home on Highway 94 was destroyed by the fire.

Like many others, Vigil expressed skepticism over FEMA’s process to provide financial relief. The complicated procedure to secure grants has left many feeling that no compensation will be enough.

The most recent numbers from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office show that about 2,700 applications have been submitted to FEMA. Of those, 702 households have received some portion of the $1.8 million approved assistance.

The governor’s office estimated close to 650 structures have been destroyed in the fire.

Kevin Skillen and his wife, April, live just over the hill from Mora proper, with seven horses, seven goats, three cows and a host of dogs and cats. April evacuated, along with the goats, around May 1 to her childhood home, where her mother still lives in Santa Fe. Kevin stayed behind to help neighbors—he’s got a powerful generator, so he was able to offer fresh water, hot showers and more to the people he’s shared space with for the two years since the couple relocated to New Mexico from Northern California.

Kevin offers a clear, sharp assessment of who he believes should pay to rebuild what’s been lost.

“The federal government started this fire, and they should take 100% responsibility for fixing what’s left to be fixed,” he tells SFR. His wife has strong opinions on government conservation tactics, too.

“With prescribed burns at this time of year and back-burning?” she says. “Stop doing it. It doesn’t work. They act like God. Let the locals take care of this land.”

Romero and his son, Emilio, haven’t lost their boisterous sense of humor since the fire took so much from their community. But upon seeing the husk of a neighbor’s home, one whose fields they cut in previous years, they fall quiet.

Romero doesn’t expect the forests to grow back in his lifetime.

“But maybe in my grandkids’ lives,” he says.

Pecos edges toward evacuation, but fire officials not predicting a big push toward Santa Fe

iola Gonzales-Avant stepped outside her home last week, into the stillcool evening air and noticed some lights on the ridge to the east of her home in Pecos. She didn’t recognize the lights on the hill that stood out against the dark wilderness of the Pecos River Valley.

It then dawned on her, the lights weren’t from a home or car.

“When you can see flames at night, that’s the big eye opener,” Gonzales-Avant tells SFR, standing next to the hand-painted sign thanking firefighters for their work and hanging from a metal gate spun open for drivers on NM Highway 50 to see.

Gonzales-Avant, like almost every Northern New Mexican, has kept a close eye on the fires for the last month, but it seemed distant. When flames crested the ridge, the fire’s proximity became much more apparent.

Evacuations in Bull Canyon and Cow Creek, areas she’s very familiar with, are less than 5 miles from her home.

The woman who was raised in the Pecos community wanted to show her appreciation for the firefighters working 12-hour shifts, protecting her childhood home, where she still lives. “My heart is here,” Gonzales-Avant says on a hot afternoon, monitoring the CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

We are in extreme drought.

We have fire behavior and… such dry fuels out there that any little fire can really grow quickly.

-Santa Fe County Fire Chief Jackie Lindsey

TOP: Members of a Type-6 engine from Montana worked to protect structures east of Pecos, where they removed fuels and installed sprinklers around homes. BOTTOM: Sprinklers pull water from “pumpkins,” seen here in front of a church that sits near the intersection of Bull and Cow creeks.

smoke hanging thick on the horizon with a pair of binoculars. “We need to bear witness to what is going on.”

Over the weekend, emergency managers upgraded the evacuation statuses for the larger Pecos community. Authorities told residents of upper Pecos River Valley—from Holy Ghost to Lower La Posada—to evacuate, while the village proper was elevated to “set” status.

Just west across the county line, one area in Santa Fe County was put in “go” status.

The Santa Fe County Sheriff asked residents of Upper Dalton Canyon, a narrow, single-access valley, to evacuate.

Officials say things still look good for Santa Fe County, but that could change.

“We are in extreme drought. We have fire behavior and…such dry fuels out there that any little fire can really grow quickly,” says Santa Fe County Fire Chief Jackie Lindsey.

Working with the Sheriff’s Department, emergency managers and fire officials, Lindsey says, “A lot of variables go into deciding who is going to be put into what status.”

Lindsey notes that weather and topography continue to drive the fire, which makes predicting its movement difficult. She encourages all Santa Fe County residents to stay alert of changes to evacuation statuses.

While the fire’s northern expansion has continued to be fastest moving, the southwest flank is still expected to spread. However, Fire Behavior Analyst Stewart Turner has classified that motion as likely “limited.”

Turner said the fire made two runs over the weekend near Colonias Canyon towards Pecos, which he described as the most problematic area. The fire, Turner said in Monday evening’s update, is burning hot in this area and he expects “to see some smoke outta here but I don’t think you’re going to see any growth outside of the containment lines.”

Last week, fire crews were in this area establishing structural protections for homes that had been evacuated.

Two dogs with short, heavy fur pad up to Will Triplett and his fellow crew members from Montana as they break from installing sprinklers and cutting trees near homes east of Pecos.

Triplett’s crew leader pours some water into the head of a shovel for the dogs to drink.

The surrounding trees, like the dogs, are thirsty. In combination with the dry soils that kick up a dust, coating the surrounding vegetation, the piñon, juniper and ponderosa trees are brittle to the touch.

“There’s more moisture content in the lumber at Home Depot in Santa Fe than there is in these trees,” Triplett tells SFR. Given the extreme dryness in the fuels, Triplett says his team is focusing efforts on protecting structures.

In the event the fire makes it farther west into Santa Fe County or future fires begin during the not-yet-started fire season, officials ask that residents prepare by protecting their homes with defensible spaces and sign up for emergency alerts.

In an effort to prevent more fires from beginning during the fire season, Santa Fe County closed four trail systems—Arroyo del la Piedra Open Space; Little Tesuque Creek Open Space; Rio en Medio Open Space; and Talaya Hill Open Space—following the closure of Santa Fe, Carson and Cibola National Forests.

COURTESY WISE FOOL NEW MEXICO

WORKSHOP SAT/28 FEEL YOURSELF Say what you will, the burlesque movement has been a long-lasting and popular one, plus it’s proof that the erotic arts continue to be more powerful and creative than any puritans would have us believe.

We understand the bar to entry could be intimidating to some, but at an upcoming workshop through Wise Fool New Mexico, experienced performers are prepared to give n00bs the low-down. At the class, newcomers will learn how to envision and execute a character, what techniques to use and the types of titillating moves that make ‘em go, “Ooh!” Bring layers, a large coat, a loose shirt and maybe a tank top, then prepare to feel sexier than you ever thought possible. Oh, and you can pre-pay for the whole run or just drop in for a single class—your call. (ADV) Queer Burlesque Workshop: 11 am-1 pm Saturday, May 28. $22-$108.

MUSIC SUN/29 GRAND LARCENY In the world of electronic music, there are few acts as immediately recognizable—or enduring—as Washington, DC’s Thievery Corporation. Composed of duo Rob Garza and Eric Hilton, the act’s long-standing mission of mashing up the musical styles of Earth with a bit of jazz, electronica and dance styles has been so popular, we think, because it has been so hard to pin down. As it says on their website, “Yes, you’ll dance, sweat and put your hands in the air…but their concerts are true performances, with a killer band of players and an array of vocalists from diverse global cultures.” Ummmm, yeah, that sounds great. Do note the show has moved from its original Taos location down to The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Co., and that experimental dance musician Tone Ranger has joined the fray. Outdoor dance jams with certified music geniuses? You bet. (ADV) Thievery Corporation with Tone Ranger: 7 pm Sunday, May 29. $49. The Bridge@Santa Fe Brewing Co. 37 Fire Place, (505) 557-6182

MUSIC THU/26

Smooth Like Velvet Vision brings synthy goodness to Lost Padre Records concert series The free shows keep on coming to Water Street record store Lost Padre, this time in the almost overwhelmingly synthy form of PSIRENS, Theo Krantz, Teleporter and, one of our new faves, Velvet Vision.

“I wouldn’t call myself a nerd so much,” says Velvet Vision’s one-woman-army of Betty Taylor when asked if she was always a synth nerd. “I just really like the sound of electronic music, and especially that ’80s synth-pop sound.”

That’s an apt description of Taylor’s sound, though thinking you’re just going to catch some kind of Eurythmics tribute act would be selling Taylor short. She’s a bit of a melody master, honestly, the sort of composer who finds pop goodness, but smartifies it with layers and loops and a satisfying vocal style.

It’s a far cry from Taylor’s Minnesota roots, where she was really more of a violinist. Maybe having some of that capital-S serious music theory lends her a certain know-how that’s transferable to synth, but on her new-ish single release “Silver City” from January, which is available via velvetvision.bandcamp.com, Taylor surprisingly dips into a somehow

even more pleasant version of Electric Light Orchestra’s “Strange Magic.” Setting aside Jeff Lynne’s tragically chronic bout with under-appreciation, Taylor’s version wows, and her original song—produced with help from local Krantz—feels like a more studious sound from Sparks’ Girogio Moroder phase, or even David Grellier’s College. Taylor’s whispery talk-singing errs a bit more toward intriguing and secretive than it does bubblegum, though, and once you’ve got this thing in your head, good luck getting it out.

Budding fans should note Velvet Vision’s heading toward a mini-hiatus soon, trading in regular performance for a bit of writing. Taylor tells SFR she’d like to get a full-length record going at some point, and she’ll need focus. Before then, jump at this chance to hear pop gold.

COURTESY BOBBY BEALS

with Curator Bobby Beals

Curator, arts consultant and former gallerist Bobby Beals never really stopped working during the pandemic, but it’s been some time since the annual exhibit of new works from his Kamagraph line of artsy skateboards and merch could go the in-person route. Well, he’s baaaaaaaack with This Is The Day (4-7 pm Saturday, May 28. Free.

Downtown Subscription, 376 Garcia St., (505) 983-3085). Featuring 40 artists from near and far plus a limited edition pair of decks sporting an Utugawa Kuniyoshi print, the new show is a bit of a departure for Beals, who generally donates profits from Kamagraph events to various charities and nonprofits—this year the bucks are going to the artists themselves. Since there’s nothing wrong with creative types paying the rent, we met up with Beals to learn a little more.

(Alex De Vore) You’re back with Kamagraph. It’s been a minute, right?

Actually, it hasn’t. During the pandemic, I did these skateboard shows, but online, with no show. Obviously we couldn’t be in crowds, we had to be home, so I just found people who were buying skateboards—I was literally texting clients. I was using that money to feed people. I didn’t really do the Zoom event thing, didn’t do new new decks, but [myself and various volunteer workers and chefs] made 500 meals a month...for the elderly and the disabled. I literally started out online like, ‘Who would like some burritos?’ I was pretty amazed. A hundred percent of that [Kamagraph money] went to that. I’d always picked nonprofits per each release, but people needed to eat and to have COVID-safe food delivery.

So what’s the need this time?

The need is actually artists. I want to raise money to make more skateboards, more merch, like a gallery would, I just split the proceeds with the artists who make the decks. Plus I’ve got this Kuniyoshi print deck about this samurai who gets attacked by a giant snake. He battles the snake, but it’s poisonous and he gets

MAY MAY 25-31, 25-31, 2022 2022 •• SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM

bitten and dies this awful death. It’s a folk hero story, and I really liked it because…

I’m not a very outwardly political guy, but I feel like we’re battling this giant snake.

There’s so much poison going on in the system and how we live. It’s difficult, so I just felt like this story kind of related in a way with skateboarding. I’m in love with skateboarding. There’s a freedom with that.

People who are in their 60s and don’t skate will buy these skateboards.

They love the punk rock movement, the skateboard movement, because it reminds people of things of that time. It brings the youthfulness out in a lot of people.

I’ve got 40 artists this time—not all local, and some of them are repeats from previous Kamagraph shows. It’s just another canvass, I think, and I think art on skate decks has been around for so long, it’s absorbed into the culture.

I think the need is...OK, art is an outward expression of going inward, and during the pandemic a lot of people went inward. I know for me, with the silence, I thought, ‘Oh shit, I’ve got some things to work on. I want to feel healthier.’ And I think that this happened to a lot of people, so art is one of those things that’s an outward expression of that work. It’s the same thing with skateboarding. You can play football with a team, basketball with a team, but when those were all shut down?

Well, you can’t shut skateboarding down and you can’t shut art down.

What can you tell us about the event?

For a person to put some wheels on a skateboard and go practice and fall and get back up, fall and get back up, fall and get back up—it’s pretty cool to watch that.

I’ve mentored some kids 11-18 who skate, and they feel empowered. Because skating is not about what society is doing. It’s kind of interesting when someone is saying don’t do this, don’t do that—you start to think why? Why not skateboarding?

Why not art? I’m 46, and I started skating at 40, and for me, when I’m out there skating, it’s...whatever puts that wind in your hair, y’know? You want that wind in your hair. Skating can be a convergence of punk rock, hip-hop, art; it’s such an individual thing, but what’s interesting is that I have fine art collectors, and I’ve sold them $10,000 paintings, and then they’re also out there buying skate decks and hanging them in the same rooms as their other pieces. Artists want to work on different kinds of canvas, and art on skateboards is just another canvas.

At the event, Skate School is donating the rails and mini ramps [for skaters], and we’ll have different sponsors and giveaways. The parents are gonna win some things, the kids are gonna win some things. I just don’t want anyone to walk away empty-handed. [Downtown Subscription owner] Casey Mickelson is so supportive and always has been.

Social employment; where the term “dream job” implies our dreams are rooted in labor. For a chef/owner like Coleman, though, the dream can only sustain hundred-hour work weeks for so long. Even so, it can’t have been easy to walk away. Fire & Hops has been consistently popular in Santa Fe from the moment the doors opened in 2014, and for Coleman to put his own emotional well-being first is, frankly, courageous. And fans need not fret.

As we speak, Coleman is figuring out how to best take on private chef gigs; maybe two a month, he says, to avoid burnout, and he already has some lined up for later this summer. Perhaps more exciting, at least for folks not in the market for private cheffing, is that he’s putting the finishing touches on the Railyard location of his La Lecheria (500 Market St., Ste 110, (505) 428-0077) ice

Chef Joel Coleman leaves Fire & Hops behind, doubles down on La Lecheria ice cream

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

ALEX DE VORE

y the time you read this, chef Joel Coleman will have been gone from gastropub Fire & Hops—a restaurant he co-founded eight years ago with partner, Josh Johns—for roughly one month.

Coleman says it’s a little weird to have nights free for the first time in a storied career that spans four states, innumerable restaurants and more than two decades, but that long hours and a bit of ennui had taken their toll.

Subsequently, a trip to Hawaii in January, where he grew up and which he still considers his “grounding place,” made it clear that it was time to move on.

“Someone recently commented about how Fire & Hops was such a big part of my life these last eight years, but it was my life,” Coleman tells SFR. “When I look back and think of all the things that suffered from it?

The relationships that suffered? I still love it, I don’t think I’m ever not going to be a chef, but there’s a point where it’s not worth it.

Some days it feels normal, other days it feels like I’ve given up a baby.”

Fire & Hops will go on with Johns managing and under chef Austin “Gus” Emery, and that’s a good thing. Still, Coleman’s departure is kind of huge. This is America, after all, where we’re conditioned to believe the best things that will ever happen to us will generally arise from so-called meaningful

cream shop for a Friday, May 27 opening.

Longtime locals will no doubt remember when Coleman opened La Lecheria’s first location on Lena Street in 2016, and then the Marcy Street outpost in 2018. That original location is gone (it’s The Bread Shop now), but Marcy Street lives on; the Railyard location would have opened ages ago if not for the pandemic. And it’s about time, too. That damn La Lecheria sign’s been up for years and, honestly, it’s nice to get something in that zone that isn’t another brewery. Like, breweries are awesome, but the Railyard has become the de-facto beer district and we have enough choices now.

The intriguing thing about La Lecheria, anyway, is in Coleman’s creative take on flavors. Oh, sure, you’ll find the standby items like at any ice cream shop—your chocolates and vanillas and such—but Coleman likes to get weird, and it often works, even when you don’t think it will. His green chile variety has become legendary and even appeared on the Food Network show Man vs. Food. Further, Coleman says, he’s been dabbling with a red

It’s been a long time coming, but chef Joel Coleman is finally opening his Railyard ice cream shop on Friday, May 27.

FOOD

chile honey flavor, a type made with sesame paste direct from a Japanese company that literally only makes sesame products, a miso butterscotch blend and any number of sorbets, like a blood orange and vanilla and a raspberry vanilla. Soon we’ll be able to sample a parmesan cheese ice cream and a buffalo blue cheese variety—and then there’s the POG sorbet, a take on one of Coleman’s favorite Hawaiian flavors made with a mixture of passion fruit, orange and guava.

“I have a plan for something called the Adventure Series,” he says. “I’m not talking about shock value, but fun things, a little more out there, like maybe black garlic or Cholulua or maybe something with cashew milk, because even if you’re not vegan, maybe you don’t want dairy. There will never be a sugar-free ice cream, though.”

Coleman also says you might soon see La Lecheria flavors in New Mexico Whole Foods locations, and that while Opuntia and Sky Coffee have espresso covered in the Railyard, his new location will serve up coffee from Java Joe’s and tea from Artful Tea. It could be, too, that you’ll find pastries and other snacks on offer once he gets a chance. One of La Lecheria’s employees is a great baker, Coleman says. If all that wasn’t enough, Coleman has his sights set on a delivery/service truck from which La Lecheria could finally accept the myriad special event invitations it’s always receiving. Given the shop’s proximity to Violet Crown Cinema, the Farmers Market and the upcoming AMP Railyard Summer Concert Series, a lot of things are possible (hello, ice cream after a movie), and Coleman seems energized.

“A good chef wants to move forward, and I’m glad people love those dishes from the past, but...” he says trailing off. “Just because I don’t have a restaurant anymore doesn’t mean I don’t love cooking or that I love food any less. Part of me thinks it was inevitable to move on, that I could have found more balance. The possibilities are endless now.”

Home Recording includes stints in St. Louis, Missouri, Abiquiu, Washington, DC and elsewhere.

He attended Knox College in Illinois for a music degree, though he tells SFR it took time for that training to kick in. By the time he found the now-transient nonprofit teen arts center Warehouse 21 as a teenager, though, Imani discovered what he calls a “begrudging home.”

“I think I’d really sort of been displaced in a lot of ways,” he tells SFR of finally finding a community. “Maybe that’s not quite the right word, but I moved around so much as a child and felt so tugged around by my parents that I never felt like part of a consistent group of people who showed up for each other.”

Jaco Imani brings his new project Sable out of the bedroom

hen you’ve got a name like Jaco, chances are someone will eventually ask if you play the bass.

That’s a Jaco Pastorius nod, btw, and that legendary bassist is the real-life namesake of Santa Fe-based musician Jaco Imani. There’s no relation, but Imani started out on bass, too, as a way to feel closer to his own musician father. He’s since evolved into more of a guitar player. He’s also learned a thing or two about recording software like Ableton Live and Reason, partly from Santa Fe Community College teacher Jason Goodyear, partly on his own.

Now, as Imani enters a new era of creativity, he’s mere days away from the June 1 release of part one of the two-part full-length album Ayllu from his bedroom-based project Sable, and it’s time to come out into the light: Ayllu is one of those for-the-records kind of albums that transcends genres and playing styles to become its own piece of art for which comparisons are challenging. Just know it is gorgeous.

Ayllu is named for an Incan concept of kinship, according to Imani. Perhaps a group of villagers might not actually be related, he says, but they look out for each other on a deeper, more familial way. That’s the most basic of explanations, and it’s definitely worth Googling. The record is almost annoyingly good, and not like anything else making the local rounds.

Quick comparisons would be easy enough—Animals as Leaders, Battles, any number of contempo free jazz acts or even technical metal powerhouses. With Imani’s core relationships forming the basis of its lyrical content, however, a bit of indie rock math weridness picks up the musical slack alongside off-tempo jazz elements that sound almost improvisational but are anything but. Think of it more like a singularly excellent bit of extroverted songwriting with an eye toward community and a deep appreciation for lasting friendships.

The album is the culmination of so many things, not least of which is a nomadic lifestyle as a kid. The road to Imani’s even being in Santa Fe is a long one, and

Thus, Ayllu was born of Imani’s realization that he does have people in his own micro-community. He was one of the 201 people laid off by Meow Wolf at the outset of the pandemic, though, he says, having that time to make music was one of the best things to ever happen.

“I know saying that comes from a place of privilege,” Imani explains, “but I realized I had to focus on what the dream is, not just prepare to focus for the dream.”

The songs are about his friendships, though they’re more emotionally open than just about love. Yes, that love is obvious throughout the first seven tracks that make up the first part of Ayllu, but take

A&C

a song like “Frenemies,” wherein Imani sings, “I want to be just like you, you’re all the things I can’t be/when you fail I cheer softly.” That’s about a close friend of whom Imani says he has been jealous. Writing the song helped him identify and address those issues; the blatant honesty is refreshing and relatable. To put it simply, he’s growing while writing, and that ain’t nothing. The later parts of the song express joy and love, Imani notes, and the sacred nature of experiencing friendship.

“I think it was a process of putting down in form the things I’ve felt for a long time,” he says.

“There were some cool discoveries aesthetically, with the sounds of the songs, but not about my feelings.”

Seems Imani already had those on lock. He -Jaco Imani wrote and recorded the bulk of Ayllu on his own at home, but also enlisted help from Santa Fe jazz weirdo Chris Jonas, singer Cara Trziz from Vermont, Los Angeles saxophonist Eilish Wilson and, maybe most importantly, New York Citybased drummer Dimitri Buckler-Burtis.

The pair met ages ago, in Santa Fe, and Buckler-Burtis returned to New Mexico to capture his drum tracks with producer Kabby Kabakoff at his Kabby Sound studio. According to Imani, Buckler-Burtis perfectly captured the pre-written drum elements, but added his own twists where possible. The next album will apparently be more of a collaboration.

“We’re writing,” Imani says plainly. “And the idea is to hit the road in September for a small regional tour.”

Before then, he says, he’ll take singing lessons, though given his vocal work on Allyu that seems unnecessary; it’s just part of his commitment to the band. He’s also practicing for hours a day and continually tightening his songwriting chops.

“There’s this really cool confluence of jazz harmony and a more complicated and theoretical [understanding of music],” he explains. “I just want to be part of that wave, smashing shit together. The record came out of my practicing a lot and these people in my life. These people are like family to me, I just want to make a whole suite about them.”

I realized I had to focus on what the dream is, not just prepare to focus for the dream.

Jaco Imani took up music to feel closer to his dad, and he’s since formed an identity all his own.

RATINGS BEST MOVIE EVER

MOVIES Hit the Road Review The painful family road trip

10 9

You’d have to be fairly well-versed in Iranian cinema to know director Panah Panahi is the son of that country’s notable filmmaker Jafar Panahi (Taxi). Still, one needn’t be a globe-traipsing cinephile to understand the younger Panahi’s first-ever feature, Hit the Road, is a masterwork of differing familial relationships and a tangible, long-lasting pang of existential dread.

In Panahi’s major film debut, we follow an unnamed family on a car trip through the countryside outside of Tehran. There’s the stoic father (Hassan Madjooni), whose furtive nature is punctuated by cigarettes, mystery phone calls and circuitous affections; the romantic 6-year-old (Rayan Sarlak) who just had his cellphone taken away and who bellows painfully that if he misses a call from his teacher, whom he is dating in his mind, she’ll dump him; the pained but outwardly emotive mother (an electric Pantea Panahiha, who represents the best of Panahi’s opus); and the tortured older brother (Amin Simiar), whom we learn the trip is about, even if we don’t learn why until it’s too late to detach.

Road lives in the expansive unsaid things between family members, even as Sarlak’s young boy fills the silence with youthful chatter. Much of the film takes place in a car, and the family shares knowing glanc-

CHIP ‘N DALE: RESCUE RANGERS

+ DECENT ANIMATION; A FEW LAUGHS - PLEASE LET THESE NOSTALGIA PIECES STOP!

Oh, good, we’ve reached the post-Wreck it Ralph/ Ready Player One era wherein new movies not only spend tons of screen time basically asking millennials if they/we remember this or that character from our childhoods, they’re now lampooning themselves for doing so. One could call this self-aware humor, but one could also call it exhausting, and in the new Andy Samberg/John Mulaney Disney movie Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers, it’s hard to tell which.

This movie is 100% aimed at people 35-40 years of age who grew up watching the show of the same name and maybe now have kids (or are still super into cartoons). If you’re not familiar with Rescue Rangers, Disney took those eponymous chipmunks and gave them a detective agency, plus the kinds of co-star characters who furries cite as reasons they find anthropomorphized characters so hot to this day (the other being Disney’s Robin Hood—and no judgement, we love furries here, sincerely).

In the new mostly live action movie, however, we’re told Chip (Mulaney) and Dale (Samberg) are real people in a Who Framed Roger Rabbit sense.

Not only that, they’re lifelong friends who met at elementary school. SCHOOL! A SCHOOL! Worse, in this universe, Rescue Rangers was a show in which they acted, and things went bad 28

+ THE CAST;

THE QUIET; THE FIRST AND FINAL MOMENTS - SOME QUESTIONS LEFT UNANSWERED

es while its youngest member tends to the sick dog who’s also along for the ride, offers a ride to an ostensibly injured bicyclist and asks the parents the kinds of rapid-fire questions kids seem to invariably ask.

Only the older brother seems unenthused, though his parents get there with him through the course of the odyssey, even as they must defuse tensions for their youngest.

How a car can feel so suffocating yet so expansive fades after a time, but brief respites and new landscapes feel freeing though at odds with the crushing nature of the errand: Eventually we learn the family must smuggle the eldest brother out of Iran, though we never learn why. Once we learn escape is the objective, however, it makes everything the parents do and say in the film’s earlier moments all the more meaningful, and any further specifics would only have distracted from the real crux of the matter: Families struggle to express love openly, but they’ll show you in the most curious ways.

after they were canceled. We pick back up with the non-Alvin chipmunks 30 years later as their castmate Monterey Jack (Eric Bana) gets kidnapped, forcing our heroes into some real-life detective work despite their estrangement. Keeping up? It honestly doesn’t matter.

Cue references to Disney things and not-soDisney things (special nod to comic Tim Robinson as Ugly Sonic, a lambasting of the original design for the blue bomber’s CGI film that drove much of the internet to insanity, resulting in a total re-haul of the character), and a whole mess of weird rules about sizes of things and ages. Some characters age, while others don’t seem to do tha at all. Some phones are huge, and others are chipmunk sized.

We’re supposed to believe manufacturers take all that into account?! Naw, just kidding—who cares?

Everything is in service of a bit of niche nostalgia, and voice performances from folks like Will Arnett, Tress MacNeille (Futurama), JK Simmons and Seth Rogen do get pretty funny now and then. Samberg’s a treasure, no matter how badly one wants to hate his guts, but Mulaney is not now nor has he ever been a good actor, voice or otherwise, even if he’s proven a capable comic.

But I digress.

Director Akiva Schaffer (he’s one of Samberg’s Lonely Island pals) knows what people in a certain age bracket want when it comes to movies: completely unchallenging pap! That’s what you’re getting here, people who are amazed by things they already know—pap. (ADV) Disney+, PG, 97 min.

Panahi relishes the simpler, quieter moments, and he transitions from feeling to feeling—or perhaps act to act—with characters breaking the fourth wall. Or so it seems. Once you understand the father, you hate him for playing cool, but get it in a way; Panahiha, though, steals the production, even from the precocious Sarlak, who turns in one of the best child performances in recent memory. One almost pities Simiar’s character for having to suffer with that which the family cannot understand. Still, he does the comforting in the end, at least for a moment. There’s no comfort for the mother, however, who steals a lock of her son’s hair, who fights back screams, who falls to her knees, eyes trained directly on us, and openly weeps. It’s not easy, but it sure is beautiful.

OPERATION MINCEMEAT

6

+ ENERGETIC; FOR HISTORY NERDS - TERRIBLE DIALOGUE; DULL MELODRAMA

Like someone with a shopping addiction who knows they’re suffering but insists they don’t need help, Netflix seemingly cannot stop pumping out subpar and expensive-looking World War II spy thrillers.

They’re flashy, the planes go whoosh and the jazz scores are brassy. But, like Netflix’s Munich—The Edge of War, these films are often tensionless affairs.

We see the climax coming, even if one can argue we all know who won the war. A skilled team can make such tales work, but they maybe weren’t available this time. No, this is spoiled meat.

Find here Operation Mincemeat from Shakespeare in Love director John Madden. We follow Ewen Montagu (Colin Firth) and Charles Cholmondeley (Matthew Macfadyen), a pair of British officers charged with passing off a dead body as a British soldier and dumping it in Spain with fake intel in attempts to feed false plans to the Nazis. For it to be passable, however, our leads must fabricate an entire fake life for the corpse in case any fascists come sniffing around trying to authenticate anything. It’s complicated and weird, and it’s a very real thing that happened during WWII—successfully, no less, leading to the 1943 invasion of Sicily.

That bit is fascinating, but it seems Madden is so concerned about the whole British-dudesin-meetings thing being boring that we’re cursed

HIT THE ROAD Directed by Panahi With Panahiha, Sarlak, Simiar and Madjooni Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 93 min.

with a love triangle between our heroes and Kelly McDonald (Boardwalk Empire) that feels so out of place you’ll beg the British to clean house. On top of that, pedantic dialogue repeatedly and eagerly reminds us of the looming Nazi threat, as if that weren’t otherwise clear in a movie about WWII. “Is everything going according to plan?” someone asks.

“THE NAZIS WILL STOP AT NOTHING,” someone else responds, panic-stricken.

This is, of course, rather annoying, and a glaring waste of dialogue. Even worse, Italy’s got big stakes in this plot, as they did historically, so it’s curious that not a single Italian character appears on screen. Breaking from the borderline tired Britainv-Germany trope would’ve been nice, too, yet Operation Mincemeat refuses to be bold. Boldness just isn’t in its DNA. Performance-wise, almost all is well, though Firth’s inability to express any emotion on his face seems a cause for future concern.

Somewhere in there, you’ll even glimpse Jason Isaacs (Draco Malfoy’s dad), and though Madden’s direction is solid enough, he burdens the script with what feels like a distrustful aura.

A common flaw these historical films share is the over-emphasis on factoids, or, perhaps, the belief an audience cannot grasp the depths of research involved. We can appreciate research without moments that remind us about it, and that’s not to say Mincemeat is terrible, maybe you’ll just get more from the actual event’s Wikipedia article.

SFR CLASSIFIEDS MIND BODY SPIRIT PSYCHICS Rob Brezsny

Week of May 25th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In defining the essential elements at play in a typical Aries person’s agenda, I’m not inclined to invoke the words “sometimes” or “maybe.”

Nor do I make frequent use of the words “periodically,” “if,” or “ordinarily.” Instead, my primary identifying term for many Aries characters is “NOW!!!” with three exclamation points. In referring to your sign’s experiences, I also rely heavily on the following descriptors: pronto, presto, push, directly, why not?, engage, declare, activate, venture into, enterprising, seize, deliver, and wield. You are authorized to fully activate and deploy these qualities in the next three weeks.

get involved in a project that seems to be beyond the reach of your official capacities or formal credentials. I urge you to proceed as if you can and will succeed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I like Joan Didion’s definitions of self-respect. As you enter a favorable phase for deepening and enhancing your self-respect, they may be helpful. Didion said self-respect is a “sense of one’s intrinsic worth,” and added, “People who respect themselves are willing to accept the risk that the venture will go bankrupt, that the liaison may not turn out to be one in which every day is a holiday. They are willing to invest something of themselves.” And maybe the most essential thing about self-respect, according to Didion, is that it is “a discipline, a habit of mind that can never be faked but can be developed, trained, coaxed forth.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Reality is not simply there; it does not simply exist,” claimed author Paul Celan. “It must be sought out and won.” I think that is excellent advice for you right now. But what does it mean in practical terms? How can you seek out and win reality? My first suggestion is to put your personal stamp on every situation you encounter. Do something subtle or strong to make each event serve your specific interests and goals. My second suggestion is to discern the illusions that other people are projecting and avoid buying into those misunderstandings. My third suggestion is to act as if it’s always possible to make life richer, more vivid, and more meaningful. And then figure out how to do that.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Wilma Mankiller was the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation. She said, “The cow runs away from the storm, while the buffalo charges directly toward it—and gets through it quicker.” Political analyst Donna Brazile expounded on Mankiller’s strategy: “Whenever I’m confronted with a tough challenge, I do not prolong the torment. I become the buffalo.” I recommend Mankiller’s and Brazile’s approach for you and me in the coming days, my fellow Cancerian. Now please excuse me as I race in the direction of the squall I see brewing in the distance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The New Yorker is an influential Pulitzer Prize-winning magazine that features witty writing and impeccable fact-checking. In 2017, its stories exposed the extensive sexual misconduct committed by movie mogul Harvey Weinstein—and helped lead to his prosecution. How did the magazine get its start? It was co-founded in 1925 by Harold Ross, who had dropped out of school at age 13. He edited every issue for the next 26 years. I’m sensing the possibility of a comparable development in your life, Leo. In the coming months, you may get involved in a project that seems to be beyond the reach of your official capacities or formal credentials. I urge you to proceed as if you can and will succeed.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): “Some nights you are the lighthouse, some nights the sea,” writes Libran author Ocean Vuong. According to my astrological analysis, you are better suited to be the lighthouse than the sea in the coming days. Lately, you have thoroughly embodied the sea, and that has prepared you well to provide illumination. You have learned new secrets about the tides and the waves. You are attuned to the rhythms of the undercurrents. So I hope you will now embrace your role as a beacon, Libra. I expect that people will look to your radiance to guide and inspire them.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “Movie people are possessed by demons, but a very low form of demons,” observes author Edna O’Brien. She should know. She has hung out with many big film stars. Since you’re probably not in the movie business yourself, your demons may be much higher quality than those of celebrity actors and directors. And I’m guessing that in the coming weeks, your demons will become even finer and more interesting than ever before—even to the point that they could become helpers and advisors. For the best results, treat them with respect and be willing to listen to their ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): According to author Caroline Myss, “You should see everything about your life as a lesson.” Whoa! Really? Each trip to the grocery store should be a learning opportunity? Myss says yes!

For example, let’s say you’re in the snack foods aisle and you’re tempted to put Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips and Lay’s Barbecue Potato Chips in your cart. But your gut is screaming at you, “That stuff isn’t healthy for you!” And yet you decide to ignore your gut’s advice.

You buy and eat both bags. Myss would say you have squandered a learning opportunity: “You’ve harmed yourself by blocking your intuitive voice,” she writes.

Now, in accordance with astrological omens, Capricorn, here’s your homework assignment: Regard every upcoming event as a chance to learn how to trust your intuition better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): An Aquarian poet was disturbed when a suitor told her, “I’m really very fond of you.” She responded, “I don’t like fond. It sounds like something you would tell a dog. Give me love, or nothing. Throw your fond in a pond.” I don’t advise you to adopt a similar attitude anytime soon, Aquarius. In my oracular opinion, you should wholeheartedly welcome fondness. You should honor it and celebrate it. In itself, it is a rich, complex attitude. And it may also lead, if you welcome it, to even more complex and profound interweavings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “I need a playlist of all the songs I used to love but forgot about,” wrote Tumblr blogger Yuyuuyuyuu. I think you could use such a playlist, too, Pisces. In fact, I would love to see you receive a host of memos that remind you of all the things you love and need and are interested in—but have forgotten about or neglected. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to recover what has been lost. I hope you will re-establish connections and restore past glories that deserve to accompany you into the future.
