Flats on Cordova Road or the under construction Turquesa apartments at Santa Fe Place mall. Hmmm. Maybe views are important? Maybe people aren’t just being selfish NIMBYs because they treasure and are nourished by Santa Fe’s fantastic vistas. This is not an “either/or” situation, i.e., either we have development or we have views. Supporting sustainable growth, while opposing unchecked development, makes perfect sense to many Santa Feans.

CHERISHED VIEWS Such simplistic statements about Santa Fe development and water issues—there are many knowledgeable Santa Fe individuals, in both the city and the county, who have done plenty of research on these topics (for one, members of United Communities of Santa Fe County, unitedsantafe.org.)

Santa Fe County jail warden talks with SFR about pandemic-related challenges and understaffing
Derek Williams, warden of the Santa Fe County jail, waits outside a cell block on a recent tour. The jail has a staff vacancy rate of about 38% and is holding about half its capacity of prisoners.

uards lead a few different groups of orange-jumpsuit-clad prisoners, some on their way to a courtroom, through the sterile hallways of the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility during SFR’s visit last Thursday—the first since before the pandemic began. On the second floor, new guards sit in a classroom, taking in a training session on use of force. It’s clear walking around the jail that the inmate population is well below capacity, a trend that set in nearly two years ago when COVID-19 gripped New Mexico. Several cell blocks, including two pods dedicated to newly-booked prisoners and those who must quarantine, either sit empty or house very few people. After booking, inmates are tested for COVID-19 twice over 11 days before they can join the general population. To date, 145 prisoners have tested positive, along with 64 staff members, according to county spokeswoman Carmelina Hart. Three-hundred-five people were jailed there last week—in a building that opened amid a nationwide jail and prison boom in 1998 with a design capacity of 612. (The county took over operations in 2005.) Joint efforts within the criminal justice system led to a reduction in county jail populations across the state by mid-2020. That year, the population of the Santa Fe County jail was 446 on March 13, two days after the state recorded its first case of the novel # 8
coronavirus. By late May, it had dropped to 325, according to data collected by the New Mexico Association of Counties. Evidence that COVID-19 has changed the jail is everywhere. The decline in population has been a “saving grace” in keeping operations “stable” despite significant understaffing, Warden Derek Williams says. He’s running an overall staff vacancy rate of 38%. The jail budgets for 79 detention officers but employs just 41, along with 25 ranked officers. Williams estimates nursing is about 50% short. Thursday’s visit to the jail, which holds local, state and federal inmates, most of whom are awaiting trial, marked the first time Williams has spoken with SFR since March 2020, despite efforts to interview him for numerous stories. The warden, who worked for the Penitentiary of New Mexico before becoming Santa Fe’s jail head in December 2016, along with several staff provided a tour to SFR. Williams’ responses have been edited for clarity and length. SFR: Has the relatively transient nature of the jail population made fighting COVID more challenging? Derek Williams: For sure. Sanitation is always difficult because in prison, those guys are stabilized. They’ve already been through jail waiting to be adjudicated, usually for months, maybe a year…Here, they’re coming

fresh off the street. It’s scary sometimes to see some of the—if you could see some of the people that come in, it’s an eye-opener, I’ll tell you…I’ve been to almost every facility and I could say this is probably one of the cleanest places, but it’s not easy because when they’re coming in and they don’t have clean practices already and they have terrible hygiene and open wounds from the injections, it’s tough. It’s a constant challenge. Visitation has been suspended for the entirety of the pandemic, is that right? We initially suspended on-site visits just because we were cutting down on any kind of public access, but it really didn’t affect much because we have video visits and for 90% of our population, it’s easier for them. Families will be in their living room on their phone doing a video chat with the inmate. The only people really coming on site are usually attorneys, and it’s usually when they’re doing psychiatric or competency evaluations. For most everything else they’re doing some type of video or phone call…The reason I think a lot of people like it is because they’re not taking off work, driving down here, gas, waiting in line. Every housing unit has a kiosk, so inmates can just get messages on there and set up their video visits. In the event the family is indigent [and can’t afford to purchase minutes], they can come on site and we’ll take them upstairs and there’s a booth where they can do a video visit for free.

What challenges are you having in hiring new employees? Since COVID, we’ve had a significant decline in people actually putting in for jobs. When we have a testing date, nine times out of 10 maybe a third of the people that applied will show up for testing. I’m not sure if that’s them just applying to try and maintain unemployment, or if they’re still living off savings and stimulus checks and they’re not ready to come back. I don’t know. Corrections is a very competitive industry. We always compete with the Department of Corrections because the penitentiary is across the street, and usually MDC [the Bernalillo County jail] in Albuquerque. Those are usually our two biggest competitors because everyone kind of lives around those areas…Even with better benefits and increased salaries, we’re still not getting people applying for jobs…I’m hoping the next three or four months, now that the holidays have passed, people will start needing money again and want jobs. (Note: The starting wage is $19 per hour.) What criteria do you consider when hiring detention officers? Basically, they just have to be of age and have a high school diploma or GED and a clean record. We run a background check on them. They have to be in some kind of decent physical shape because we’ll run them through a brief academy and there is physical agility during that academy, but it’s not like boot camp. It’s basically just to make sure that if there’s an emergency on one side of the facility, they’re healthy enough to get down there, render aid and get back to their location. How has understaffing impacted operations here? When it comes to emergency response, security protocols or just doing simple welfare checks, we still are pretty stable because we’ve been able to cut our population down almost in half, so that’s been our saving grace…We’re down on case management, too, but I don’t worry about that as much as medical and security, because I can have staff from different departments kind of jump in and help out with that sometimes. Do you expect the county vaccine mandate for employees will have a significant impact on staffing? (Note: The county allowed employees to submit religious or medical exemptions in November and the human resources department is reviewing those requests, according to Hart, the spokeswoman. The jail has 110 vaccinated employees and 19 unvaccinated.) It’s still kind of early to see exactly what it’s going to look like at the end but we have definitely lost a few people. I don’t know what’s to come with the rest.

nels to say hello to the dogs; I make the same rounds every afternoon before lunch to say hello to our bunnies, hamsters and an assortment of other critters that have somehow found their way here. I don’t know if you know this, but petting a bunny rabbit just before lunch is the perfect emotional palate cleanser. After petting a bunny, my lunch hour is automatically more enjoyable because it puts me in a more relaxed headspace. I end my workday in the cat adoption kennels just outside my office where I engage in in-depth conversation about my day. I believe it’s important to debrief the day’s events with cats. Let me tell you why. Cats have absolutely no interest in or tolerance for whining or complaints. Here’s an example of a conversation with Billiam (ID#A154937) to prove my point:
SANTA FE ANIMAL SHELTER & HUMANE SOCIETY
appy New Year, Santa Fe! My name is Jack. I just moved to beautiful Santa Fe from my hometown of Los Angeles to become the new CEO for the Santa Fe Animal Shelter & Humane Society. I have to say, this town has welcomed me so warmly since my arrival in November. Not to diss my hometown, but it’s been my observation that people here are just nicer! When I go to the grocery store, the employees seem happy to see me, making conversation, and wishing me a great rest of the day. Just yesterday someone cut me off on the highway, and then waved an apology to me. Who does that? In LA, they’d cut you off and flip you the bird just for funsies. I’m just saying. It’s not hard to see why everyone seems to be in a better mood here. I mean, look at the place! The air is clean, the views are spectacular from every angle. I kind of feel like I just extended my life expectancy by moving here—and I’m totally getting into it. In this monthly column, I’m going to talk a lot about our animal friends. It’s my favorite thing to talk about, and I’m fortunate to have this platform to share my love and adoration for our furry companions and the hilarious and heartwarming things they do. Every morning when I come Billiam provided critical debriefing feedback. to work, I walk through the ken-

Daily routines with the very best animal therapists
Me: “Today is just the worst. I was trying to write my column when the internet went out in my office. How am I supposed to write without internet access?” Billiam: Blinks once and gets up, turning his back to me. (Translation: “Um, how are you this dumb? Did Hemingway need internet access to write? Seriously, get your life together.”) Me: “OK, so maybe you have a point. Technically, I don’t need internet access to draw information from my own head to write about animals. But still, it really messes with my creative juju when I can’t occasionally watch a funny raccoon video on YouTube, is all I’m saying.” Billiam: Meows once and buries his head. (Translation: “Don’t even get me started with your human privilege, dumb dumb. You can have tuna anytime you want. Like, for every meal even. Please stop talking; it’s harshing my catnip buzz.”) Me: “You’re right. I have so much to be thankful for. Thank you Billy. Thank
Princess is the best listener ever.
you for helping me see the error of my ways.” And scene. I have these rituals during my work day to help to remind me why the work we do at the Santa Fe Animal Shelter is so important. OK, that’s a lie. I don’t really need to be reminded that the work we do here is important. I have these rituals because they’re fun. Making my daily rounds is like therapy for me. Fun, interactive play therapy. Sometimes though, like today, my rounds made me feel a little sad.
PETS
I was walking through the kennels and stopped by to say hello to my good friend, Princess (ID#A109207). I look forward to seeing her contagious smile every day. It’s one of the reasons we’ve become such good friends. In fact, she’s best buds with practically every person who works or volunteers here. This morning though, it hit me why Princess has been able to build such a wonderful community of friends here: because she’s been here for such a long time. Too long. Yeah, it’s great to have a lot of friends and people rallying around you to see to your care and enrichment. But living in a shelter isn’t much of a life. It’s stressful for all the animals who come here. So the longer they are here, the more friends they make, sure. But they’re not getting to actualize their best life in a real home. So this morning, as I played with Princess, I started to get rather agitated at the whole thing. “Why are you still here, Princess? Why?” I asked, genuinely trying to understand (and apparently assuming she had a reasonable answer). She just looked at me smiling and wagging her tail like my verbal assault was the best conversation ever. Oh, and Billiam? Why in Rue McClanahan’s name is he still here? He came to us in September and has been my trusted therapist for nearly a month now. Don’t get me wrong, I shouldn’t complain that I’m getting thousands of dollars’ worth of mental health benefits from his sage, albeit snarky, advice. But seriously, why? I mean, this is the cat who has mastered the fine art of “smizing,” the ability to smile with one’s eyes. No one does it better. If he doesn’t get adopted soon, I’m enrolling him to teach a class on it at the Learning Annex. As I said, shelters are a stressful place for animals to live. Many stay here longer than they should because the stress can manifest in ways that make it difficult to “show well” to prospective adopters. At first glance, they might seem to bark too much, or hide in fear in the back of a kennel where their personalities can’t shine. My proposition to you is this: Take a moment to see beyond what you see at first glance when it comes to adopting a pet. You may be surprised at what great therapists these beautifully unique animals can be when they’re safe living with you in a happy home.

On the heels of redistricting, advocates plan to push harder to remove lawmakers from the process

s New Mexico lawmakers debated the redrawing of voting districts this winter, predictable partisanship stoked race and class conflict both below the surface and out loud. Some believe the racial makeup of new congressional districts comes close to striking the right balance; others say the altered boundaries foment polarization. “That we are going to have a real opportunity to send another Hispanic member of our state to the Congress is very exciting for me,” said Sen. Michael Padilla, an Albuquerque Democrat. “I have heard someone on the floor say that now it’s possible to have someone in CD2 who would be Hispanic...Is that the goal? Are we trying to elect people of particular ethnicities?” asked Sen. Gay Kernan of Hobbs—a Republican whose city largely moved from one congressional district to another in the change. When it came to new state legislative maps during another debate, a plan to protect incumbents turned into a fight with a consortium of Native tribes standing firm against lawmakers. While redistricting battles between political parties happen in every state, the divisions and alliances along New Mexico’s other demographic lines make its quest for fair maps in state and national offices even more complex. At the end of the once-in-a-decade redistricting fight, the Legislature had the final say: The tribes and pueblos drew a hard line and ultimately won the legislative boundaries they favored when the governor signed a plan on Jan. 6. A new three-way split of congressional districts across New Mexico kept things equal for tribes and also resulted in a significant shift that gives Hispanic voters a majority in a district that has flip-flopped between the major parties as a battleground in recent years. The approved maps in some ways mirror recommendations from an appointed committee for the 2021 redistricting process. Yet, the new Citizen Redistricting Committee’s (CRC) recommendations were just that: non-binding suggestions. The state’s legal scaffolding allows those with power to redraw maps to their own advantage—and they did. With court battles still not out of the question, advocates for a power shift say a constitutional amendment would take the politics out of the state’s process. Meanwhile, incumbents are strategizing about how new congressional districts might change the political landscape amidst a national tug-of-
war over control most experts expect to end in November with Democrats taking heavy losses. While the pain and uncertainty—and even the progress—of the special session is fresh in mind, Rep. Natalie Figueroa, D-Albuquerque, has already met with drafters and potential co-sponsors, and plans to introduce a Joint Resolution for such a constitutional amendment in the regular session that begins on Jan. 18. Whether majorities in both chambers of the Legislature will vote to divest themselves of authority in redistricting remains in question, and even if they do, the decision would then be in the hands of voters. “We are girding our loins for a long battle,” Figueroa told reform advocates in a Zoom call earlier this month, “but it’s important. Don’t anyone think it’s going to happen quickly.” Prior to the 2021 bill that established the CRC, nearly 20 proposed bills have attempted to decouple redistricting from the Roundhouse. All have failed. Kathleen Burke, project director for Fair Districts for New Mexico, says the nonpartisan group hopes what political will exists is enough, especially in the Senate, which resisted transparency and made wholesale changes to maps with little explanation. “There have been some shifting sands,” Burke tells SFR. “We have seen some failure to follow through, we have had some disappointments because while legislators might understand the ethical problem at hand, when they are looking at losing their own seat or perhaps losing the opportunity to be a strong voice for their party or their constituents, we have seen legislators equivocate.” But Burke, a 20-year resident of the state who manages the project under the auspices of the League of Women Voters, says the special session might have kicked up some interest among lawmakers. “I think there was quite a bit of frustration,” she tells SFR. “I think they might be able to see that there could be a better way for this to be done.” Legislative leaders agreed before the start of the Dec. 6 special session the Senate would first work on Congressional maps while the state House of Representatives would take on new boundaries for legislative districts and the Public Education Commission. The CRC had delivered a handful of recommended maps for each set of offices after holding extensive public meetings across the state and online over the summer and fall. Under state law, major party leadership and the state Ethics Board members appointed its members. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham issued a statement in her call noting she looked for-
Congress: Then and Now
New Mexico’s redistricting from the 2010 Census led to a judge finally determining boundaries for the three congressional districts in 2012. Late last year, the Legislature approved new boundaries. The state constitution requires redistricting after the decennial census to keep the population of each district equal.

ward to “a productive and collegial session” where lawmakers would “carry out the people’s business thoughtfully and respectfully, in a way that honors this important work.” Many onlookers say that’s not how the process went down. None of the major maps adopted by the Legislature and signed by the governor are the same as any the CRC provided. The governor waited until the final day of the time period to sign or veto legislation to approve the final map for Senate districts. And the maps for Congress went through a chaotic machination before landing on her desk.
The state’s congressional districts previously created a northern, central and southern district. The newly approved plan, which includes about 706,000 residents in each district, features a northernmost District 3 that stretches deep into the oilpatch on its eastern edge while the central District 1 includes more rural counties in addition to the core Albuquerque metro area. District 2 in the south retains Las Cruces, Carlsbad and Silver City, and gains much of Albuquerque’s West side, but loses Roswell and most of Hobbs to District 3. The new District 2 now contains 56% Hispanic residents, where the previous
boundaries counted about 47% Hispanic when approved. The representation for that demographic conversely dropped for District 1 (formerly 43.5%) and increased for District 3 (formerly 36.4%), now 37.6 and 39.7% Hispanic, respectively. When it comes to Native American representation, the new districts don’t change population distribution much, with District 1 at around 4% and District 3 with nearly 17%. Retaining that balance was the consensus of an eight-month project wherein the All Indian Pueblo Council crafted a map with the agreement of 21 sovereign tribal authorities, explains Casey Duoma, a mem-
ber of Laguna Pueblo who served on the council’s subcommittee. “There is huge appreciation for the maps that consider and incorporate input from the tribal nations,” he tells SFR, noting a future goal is that the participation and consensus of tribes be baked into the law, and maybe even the constitution. “I hope that in 10 more years that becomes a more solidified practice.” While the tribes had to fiercely argue in favor of Senate maps from their agreements that were part of the CRC recommendations, their desires were honored from the start the congressional maps, Duoma says.

The Senate debated three iterations of congressional districts, including one that would have poked a finger of District 2 far enough north to separate Santa Fe and Eldorado. Legislators said the approved version was 90% similar to CRC “Map H,” but when Fair Districts asked for an explanation of each proposed deviation, leaders refused to provide one. While the map that was approved kept Pecos in the northernmost District 3 at the end of the process, the threat got Ralph Vigil’s attention. The chairman of the New Mexico Acequia Commission still worries that the final redrawn district “waters down the voice of Northern New Mexico.” Part of his concern is grounded in the concentration of wealth, where he says oil and gas interests along the new southeast border of the district can outspend traditional communal land users in the north. “It does make it more difficult for whoever is going to be in office because now they have such a wide range of issues that are not simply associated,” he tells SFR in an interview. “So then in Congress, which is already polarized and nothing is getting done recently, what can we look forward to in the future?” Plan backers from the Democratic Party, which controls both chambers of the Legislature, say it accomplished goals of making each of the three districts a better reflection of all of New Mexico rather than the perception of rural districts or urban ones, northern versus southern. Yet leaders in the southern strongholds for the state Republican Party said the division was aimed at deepening the Democratic majority. Districts 1 and 3 are represented by Democrats in Congress today, with the District 2 seat held by Republican Yvette Harrell, who narrowly ousted Democratic incumbent Xochitl Torres-Small in the last election. After the governor approved the newly redrawn districts, sitting District 3 Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez issued a fundraising call noting “our 3rd district has gone from solidly Democratic to highly competitive. The political website FiveThirtyEight notes that it ‘endang[ers] [my] reelection prospects.’” As of press time, the GOP had not followed through on vague threats to take the matter to court, but at least one resident in Sandoval County has filed a complaint with the US Department of Justice in recent days. The specter of litigation hangs over the new maps—and there’s precedent in New Mexico. During the last redistricting fight in 2012, then-Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, vetoed a series of maps approved by the Democrat-controlled Legislature. The

The thing starts at the Railyard water tower and meanders down toward Midtown and Second Street Brewery’s Rufina Taproom.

Cut Away, Cut Away Collage artist Abigail Smith makes magic with scissors and a little glue “I was initially drawn to collage because the cost of entry is very low,” artist Abigail Smith tells SFR ahead of her aptly titled upcoming show Abigail Smith: Collage at Midtown DIY space No Name Cinema. “It’s very democratic and versatile—you don’t need to buy a canvas or oil paints or a camera, you just need a glue stick and maybe a pair of scissors, and you can find all your materials free.” Smith says the search for materials has redefined how she sees the world. Some items she finds in her travels, others in magazines to which she subscribes but never intends to read. In a world that so often deems who and how creators can claim the mantle “artist,” Smith notes, collage “was something that seemed so full of possibilities.” She came by her practice naturally during her days as a social worker when, in group settings, collage became a bit of art therapy for those with whom Smith worked. Add the tactile process of collecting materials, sizing and shaping them just right and the organic process through which pieces get made—she knows what she likes when she sees it—Smith has # 14
grown an intriguing body of work. From a distance, it’s hard to make out the disparate parts that comprise a piece. Up close and with time, however, the parts reveal themselves, sometimes implying a story, other times not. It’s really up to the viewer to find their own meaning; none are titled, she says, and there’s not often a particular message beyond the things she likes. It’s about the artifacts, Smith says, though she adds that she, “certainly thinks about some things more than others.” “I think if there’s one thing uniting this work,” Smith continues, “it’s based in my daily experience and a lot of things going on in the country lately as far as what it means to be a woman in this country; what that’s like and how women are portrayed in this country have been a big theme in my work the last couple years. I love when people look at my collages, because everyone has a different favorite.” (Alex De Vore)

MUSIC MON/17 PUNK-ADJACENT Having just read writer Dan Ozzi’s most excellent Sellout about the post-Nirvana major label punk craze, we can confirm that some of us are indeed old—and that punk’s not dead, it’s just resting. There are, of course, still those fighting the good fight every day. Take the upcoming Pop Punk Nite at Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery, where bands Van Full of Nuns and House Parties whip out the hits by blink 182, My Chemical Romance, Fallout Boy and...well, this is technically punk, sure, and probably very exciting for a lot of folks who are, let’s say, like, 30-35.

ONGOING ART SAT/15-FEB/19
If we could say something controversial here for just one second: We’d almost gotten completely over landscapes. Almost. Then this new show called Image Shifting: Graphics-Infused Photography appeared on our radar, and we’re rethinking our stance. This week at Art on Barcelona (part of the Unitarian Universalist Church), find an entire show of image shifted works. What is that, you ask? Well, it’s a post-processing editing technique invented by this guy Adrian Skiles that sort of marries the singular moment-capturing prowess of photography with a strange fractal-esque style of abstraction. They’re gorgeous. Learn more this Friday. (ADV) Image Shifting: Graphics-Infused Photography: 5 pm Friday, Jan. 14. Free. Art on Barcelona 107 W. Barcelona Road, (505) 566-0708

COURTESY NEW MEXICO MUSIC AWARDS
With the New Mexico Music Awards’ Jose Ponce
In 2005, author, musician and all-around nice guy Jose Ponce took over the New Mexico Music Awards (which kicked off in 1987, BTW), transformed them into an LLC, and the rest, as they say, is history. The annual event does so much more than recognize New Mexico’s musical excellence. With the call for 2022 entries open at newmexicomusic.org through Feb. 13, we called up Ponce to learn a little more. (Alex De Vore) Does this feel like a chapter’s end, or a new era? It’s more like a continuing chapter. We don’t want [our programming] to end, and we survived the pandemic while a lot of people and entities and community groups did not survive. Our continuing mission is to promote New Mexico musicians, songwriters, engineers, recording studios, singers... to the rest of the world. That’s our basic goal, and we do it any number of ways, from workshops and the awards show and banquet, to helping to get people working in film. We’ve had workshops in Taos, Santa Fe, Clovis, Portales, south of Roswell, Silver City, Las Cruces; we have veteran’s workshops—like, a therapeutic songwriting workshop for military vets. We do these pretty regularly. New Mexico is all of New Mexico. We’ve done things everywhere, and we’ll continue. We’ve done things on the pueblos, in tiny towns—it’s wherever. Here’s our deal: We’d like to be part of your community, and we don’t charge for our workshops. People often wonder what happens to the money from submissions to the awards. Can you tell us definitively about where that goes? Sure! That money goes to pay for the workshops we do in copyrighting, publishing, songwriting, recording, and the people doing those workshops, the
musicians, we pay all of them. So when we have a songwriter workshop and we bring in songwriters, we make sure to pay those folks. We pay for our venues, too. If we have an event where we have musicians playing a benefit, like for our 35th anniversary, when we’re having a big benefit show the night before the awards show, we’re gonna pay those musicians. The money goes to the things we do all year. And then we have money that goes to our scholarship fund at the University of New Mexico. We usually award one of those a year, but in 2020 we gave three emergency scholarships to students stranded in the state during the pandemic. They couldn’t get home, they could not get work, they couldn’t go anywhere, and they just had to subsist. So through our scholarship, we gave to three different kids studying music just so they could survive. Those are unrestricted monies, too, so they didn’t have to necessarily spend it on books or tuition. That money can help a kid make a living while they’re going to school. How has the dreaded pandemic affected the awards—good, bad or otherwise? In 2020, we did a remote program where we brought in artists separately with just the sound and camera people, and we pre-recorded them, then held the event at Revel Entertainment the following day. Last year, we were able to have a live awards show, also at Revel, and we sold it out. It was a little crowded, but we made it work. We make it work. Now, over the past two years we’ve absolutely drained our bank account, going from about $35,000-$40,000 dollars to I’ve got a little over $200 in there right now. I’ve been using my own personal funds to keep things going, but I’m not worried, that money will be replenished. But live music— and this was the good thing about the loosening of restrictions—means that pubs and hotels and restaurants and venues immediately started hiring musicians and paying them to bring people back. Do you know how tough it is for musicians to make money in this state? Venue owners are just unwilling to pay for live music, but last year a lot of folks got hired, and we were there to support them in any ways we could, through promoting online or connecting people. That doesn’t cost us anything, but it’s something we do. And anyway, as far as the pandemic is concerned, it strengthened us, because we survived and because people learned they could rely on us.

Trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden returns to Santa Fe with a piece written just for her BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
n 2019, the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra and Chorus co-commissioned a concerto for trumpet and orchestra from Junowinning composer Vivan Fung, who wrote the piece for trumpet soloist Mary Elizabeth Bowden. But did you know it’s the first-ever concerto by a North American woman composer written for a woman trumpet soloist, and that it’s coming to town? SFR caught up with Bowden to learn more about her path, the trumpet and what it’s like to have a piece written just for you. SFR: I think there’s one burning question likely to be on everyone’s minds—were you ever in a ska band? Mary Elizabeth Bowden: I was never in a ska band. Ha! Still, when we think classical music, we tend to envision strings. Is yours a common path for a trumpet player? I think a common path is the orchestral route. The role I’m playing as the soloist is less common than seeing a piano soloist or violin, but trumpet is becoming a more popular classical solo instrument. I’m seeing a lot of new works
Was classical music the organic path on which you found yourself, or was it something you specifically wanted? I started off in the band program when I was 10 years old, and my brothers were also brass players. I didn’t know anything about classical music before then. I mean, we listened to a little bit of it, but I hadn’t studied or thought I’d be a musician. Our first teacher, who was a horn player, would take my brothers and I around the Chicagoland area to hear concerts, and a lot of those were the Chicago Symphony. The three of us fell in love with classical music, especially my older brother. He really helped me open my ears to understand what I was listening to in a symphony and its structure. It was nice to have this journey when we were young. I also married a trumpet player, David Dash, who plays in the summer in the Santa Fe Opera. I have a long connection with Santa Fe being a summer home. I’m often traveling, but last summer, because of the pandemic, I was able to fill in as a full-time trumpet player in the opera orchestra. Do you incorporate other aspects into your playing? The freeform aspects of jazz or the bouncy feeling of ska (and that’s the last time I’ll ask about ska)? My artistic freedom comes from interpreting what’s on the page and making the music exciting. How softly the trumpet can play? How delicately? There are a lot of colors on the palette, but people associate it with too-loud and too-bright. There’s so much more that it has to offer. Vivian’s piece is extraordinary because she gets into dance elements; there’s a hip-hop section, a lot of rhythmic patterns. And contrasting that, I’ll be playing a Haydn concerto, which is a very old piece, so we’re showing the old and the new.
Horn players can also be incredible singers. Do you sing as well? No. Singing is important when I practice, but I don’t think anyone would want to hear me sing in public beyond karaoke. LISA MARIE MAZZUCCO
Top Brass
What does it feel like to have a piece written specifically for you? It’s important to have new works created and to have them celebrated and performed. I’m really hoping it becomes part of the standard repertoire. We’re working on a piano reduction so more people can have it if they want it, and I definitely want it to outlive me. There’s a lot out there for trumpet, but not as much as for violin, piano and strings, so adding more to the repertoire is really important to me. I want to showcase women composers and composers from different backgrounds. My next album, which will be out in 2024, will also include new works for trumpet.
being commissioned, including [Fung’s], and I think the trumpet is a very versatile instrument that can do so many different things with colors of sound.
MUSIC
Do you have a piece of advice for budding horn players or something you wish you knew when you were first courting the idea of heading to the majors? I teach at a conservatory as well and have a lot of students, so I think about young students and what benefits them in a music program. Regardless of whether people go into music as a career, I think having that work ethic is really helpful. When you play an instrument as a kid, you have to practice and create a routine and become a creative thinker, so you learn problem solving skills that are easily transferred into other parts of life. There are a lot of hours spent in practice rooms, and that process of learning never ends. It’s daily, and there are always more things to uncover and discover about improving and developing your skills. This is why I’m drawn to practicing the trumpet. There’s no endgame. I heard you once got injured by a Frisbee in Santa Fe? I did. That was about 10 years ago, and it hit my upper lip, which was all black and blue. So, my solo path started in late 20s, which is too old for most competitions, but I made finals for this one competition, spent the summer practicing and really getting ready for that, and then the Frisbee thing happened, it was a month or so before the competition. It was really difficult at the time and heartbreaking, but I learned how to get through it and did some tweaks and overcame it. I believe I became a lot stronger because of that, I feel I’m a much better teacher because of that experience. Again, it’s all about problem solving. I don’t think you need a competition win to have a solo career. I will say that whenever I’m at the beach and someone is throwing a Frisbee around, I walk away.

The Tender Bar Review A neoliberal Hillbilly Elegy with expected results
+ ACTORS DO THEIR JOBS - TONAL CHAOS, BAD DIRECTION
Does everything for which writer/bad director Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network) lives fit well enough into a behind-the-scenes look at the cast of I Love Lucy? Give the man almost any American institution—the White House, cable news, Facebook—and he’ll find a way to bring it down to a reality check, reminding us along the way that the world is run by assholes. Who woulda known? Lucille Ball (a dedicated but odd-looking performance from Nicole Kidman, who’s got some weird wide-eyed thing going on) and her husband Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) are the brilliant minds behind America’s most-watched sitcom. Things aren’t so idyllic under the surface, though. Wanna know why? Because they are assholes, says Sorkin. Of course. Ball is accused of communist sympathies while Arnaz’s affairs are tabloid fodder. Everyone is sad and pissed off all the time. Being the Ricardos never falters in its performances, despite its myriad stumbles in everything else it tries. Just how does a film about one of the most beloved comic duos in media history wind up so humorless? Kidman and Bardem spew out all

+ THE ACTING
JR (Tye Sheridan/Daniel Ranieri) wants to be a writer. He wants to write because he’s, y’know— special. You won’t see him writing much or discover a thing about his passions, but remember: He’s special. The people who make up JR’s crowded home love and encourage him, Uncle Charlie (Ben Affleck) in particular, who becomes a guiding light in opposition to JR’s deadbeat father (Max Martini). Still, our hero wonders if he has what it takes to be a writer, plus there’s some girl drama. There you go—that’s The Tender Bar from director George Clooney (yes, that George Clooney), a film with a decidedly un-clever title which portrays itself as a sprinkler spouting truth when it’s really as murky as polluted lake water. You’ll probably wonder why you’re watching JR at all, especially as the writer-riddled-withself-doubt story has been told ten gazillion times in film. Most kids are told they’re special by their families, what’s unique about this one? You won’t ever find out, save for something or other about

daddy issues, but you will get a ’70s/’80s nostalgia-fueled tale with the weakest kinds of evocation, from then-ubiquitous pop tunes and a sepia tone filter, as if that’s supposed to mean anything. C’mon, Clooney. Amazon Prime’s new film is a tonal trainwreck, its focus as unsteady as the camcorder-like cinematography. Find here an inexplicable abundance of snap-zooms, as if Clooney had a fever dream and thought he might be making an action flick. But then, Clooney’s directorial history is littered with one stumble after another (remember The Midnight Sky? Suburbicon? Sheesh). At least those stumbles are a source of consistency, but maybe we can all collectively agree that, moving forward, the majority of memoirs can stay within pages rather than digital frames?
the factoids Sorkin got out of whatever biography he read, but they are still just masses of meat in a frame, like an AI bot telling you about its internet searches. Everyone around Ball and Arnaz are bumbling morons, typical of Sorkin’s usual “great people” mindset. Ball builds her storyboards as if she’s diagnosing computer code or defusing a bomb; intense music flares—intense close-ups everywhere. Why on Earth should a movie about a 23-minute sitcom be so methodical and why did Sorkin employ a painfully pointless fake documentary framing device? It hurts to watch, and whereas Sorkin’s last project, The Trial of the Chicago 7, went for something, anything—even if it was merely highlighting Sorkin’s skepticism of progressivism—and had a unity of vision, here that vision feels as aimless as a lumberjack swinging an axe in a field with nary a tree in sight.

+ GREAT FOR NEW AND OLD COMEDY FANS; EYE-OPENING
- SHOULD HAVE BEEN LONGER
Some comics, it seems, exist for other comedians, and actor/writer Bob Einstein was one such performer.
JANUARY JANUARY 12-18, 12-18, 2022 2022 •• SFREPORTER.COM SFREPORTER.COM
The Tender Bar, most curiously, promotes the notion that real America is the folks at the bars who passively watch the world and its people go by. They are content with their lot and recognize brilliance, however; they give grandfatherly advice to the special smarties like JR. Uh, OK. Such weird working class romanticism hovers over this story, all while encouraging the not-so-special normies to be cool with what they have. Clooney, one the highest paid Hollywood actors, maybe isn’t one to tell us about working class truths, though.
Many know him as Marty Funkhouser from Larry David’s iconic HBO series Curb Your Enthusiasm, others from his long-running Super Dave Osborne stuntman parody that started sometime around the heyday of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and ran on talk shows all the way through his death in 2019. You might even remember Einstein as George Senior’s surrogate from the criminally under-appreciated Arrested Development, or, if you’re a certain age, as actor/writer Albert Brooks’ brother and a mainstay writer across comedy shows that produced future writer/performers like Steve Martin, Carl Reiner and other heavy hitters. However you know him (or are just realizing you know him), Einstein was a gifted funnyman with an enviable decades-long career, and a new HBO documentary from filmmaker Danny Gold digs into the career of the consummate comic for comics. Whether through interviews with some of the biggest names in comedy—from the aforementioned David, Martin and Reiner, to Jimmy Kimmel, Sarah Silverman, Patton Oswalt, JB Smoove, Susie Essman, Jerry Seinfeld and more— or in footage from Einstein’s stints with the Smothers Brothers, Sonny and Cher, the shortlived cable program Bizarre or elsewhere, a picture emerges of a creator who somehow became

a straight man unto himself. As the legendary Super Dave, Einstein crafted an enduring bit that inspired an entire generation of physical comedy fans; though his inspiration on the hip-hop community is a welcome surprise. Einstein’s bit, as it were, is that there wasn’t a bit—only deadpan seriousness with the slightest twinge of rage. As Reiner says in the film, all the best comics channel that bit of anger, but Einstein perfected its nuance.The Super Bob Einstein Movie unveils one of comedy’s worst-kept secrets, but lovingly teaches us why it continues to matter. Think of it like a crash course in craft for even the most seasoned comedy fans, a glimpse into the life of a guy who impacted just about anything that made us laugh over the last 50 years and a humble but important entry in the pantheon of jokes. You’ll laugh and cry and wish you were a performer yourself, even as Einstein’s strained familial relationships are hinted at, but never fully explored. At its core, however, Gold’s film seems a great excuse to find out what makes our favorite comics laugh. In that and so many other ways, Einstein became a legend. Like jokes? See this doc.

If so, feel free to use them liberally throughout 2022. 1. Practical Idealist with Flexible Strategies. 2. Genius of Interesting Intimacy. 3. Jaunty Healer with Boisterous Knowledge of the Soul’s Ways. 4. Free-Wheeling Joker Who Makes People Laugh for Righteous and Healing Reasons. 5. Skillful Struggler. 6.

in a wide range of playtime activities. So yes, consider the possibility of buying yourself crayons, Legos, dolls and puppets, video games, squirt guns, roller skates, yo-yos, jump ropes, and board games. And don’t neglect the pleasures of blanket forts, cardboard boxes, mud pies, and plain old sticks.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): In his novel The Story of a Marriage, Andrew Sean Greer asks, “Does love always form, like a pearl, around the hardened bits of life?” My answer would be, “No, not always, but when it does, it’s often extra sweet and enduring.” One of my wishes and predictions for you in 2022, Libra, is that love will form TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Most people who use around your hardened bits.

But here’s some good news: If you kick your tobacco habit before SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “It is worth living long age 40, you will regain most of those ten years.

This could and should be the year you liberate yourGEMINI (May 21-June 20): In May 1974, the Grateful Dead introduced a new wrinkle to their live musical performances. Playing at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, they amplified their music through a “Wall of Sound”: 604 speakers piled high, together channeling 26,000 watts of energy. Had any band ever treated their fans to a louder volume and crisper tones? I’d like to make this breakthrough event one of your top metaphors for 2022. According to my analysis, it will be a great year for you to boost your signal. I invite you to distribute your message with maximum confidence and clarity. Show the world who you are with all the buoyant flair you can rouse. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Philosopher Emil Cioran said he despised wise philosophers. Why? Because they practice prudent equanimity, which he regarded as empty and sterile. In Cioran’s view, these deep thinkers avoid strong feelings so they can live in cool safety, free from life’s nerve-wracking paradoxes. I agree with him that such a state is undesirable. However, Cioran contrasted it with the lives of the normal people he admired, who are “full of irreconcilable contradictions” and who “suffer from limitless anxiety.” My question for Cioran: Are there no other options between those two extremes? And my answer: Of course there are! And you can be proof of that in 2022, Cancerian. I expect you’ll be full of deep feelings, eager for new experiences, and infused with a lust for life—with less anxiety and fewer irreconcilable contradictions than ever before. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In 1838, 29-year-old naturalist Charles Darwin was early in his career. He had not developed his theory of evolution, and was not yet a superstar of science. He began ruminating about the possibility of proposing marriage to his cousin Emma Wedgwood. If married, he wrote: “constant companion and a friend in old age; the charms of music and female chit-chat—good things for one’s health.” If not married: “no children; no one to care for one in old age; less money for books, loss of time, and a duty to work for money.” I bring this to your attention, Leo, because I suspect that in 2022, you may be tempted and inspired to deeply interweave your fate with the fates of interesting characters. A spouse or partner or collaborator? Could be. Maybe a beloved animal or spirit guide? Have fun making your list of pros and cons! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What were your favorite toys when you were a child? Now would be a good time to retrieve fond memories of them, and even acquire modern versions so you can revive the joy they gave you. In my astrological analysis, you’ll be wise to invite your inner child to play a bigger role in your life as you engage
self from psychic grunge—for the sake of your own mental, physical, and spiritual health as much as for the sake of others’. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some critics view author Diana Wynne Jones as a genius in her chosen field: fantasy novels for children and young adults. She had a generous spirit, asserting, “I have this very strong feeling that everybody is probably a genius at something; it’s just a question of finding this.” If you are still unsure what your unique genius consists of, Sagittarius, I believe 2022 will show you in detailed glory. And if you do already know, the coming months will be a time when you dramatically deepen your ability to access and express your genius. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Capricorn biologist Robin Wall Kimmerer wrote a meditative book about moss. It was her response to questions she had been wondering about: Why has this inconspicuous plant persevered for 350 million years? While so many other species have gone extinct, why has moss had staying power through all the Earth’s climate changes and upheavals? And what lessons does its success have for us? Here are Kimmerer’s conclusions: Moss teaches us the value “of being small, of giving more than you take, of working with natural law, sticking together.” In accordance with astrological omens in 2022, Capricorn, I believe moss should be your role model. (Kimmerer’s book is Gathering Moss: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses.) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Author Joyce Carol Oates has been very successful and has won several major awards. But she describes her job as arduous and time-consuming. “I work very slowly,” she testifies. “It’s like building a ladder, where you’re building your own ladder rung by rung, and you’re climbing the ladder. It’s not the best way to build a ladder, but I don’t know any other way.” I wouldn’t always recommend her approach for you, Aquarius, but I will in 2022. As long as you’re willing to accept gradual, incremental progress, you’ll get a lot of fine work done. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I’ve selected a quote for you to use as one of your guiding principles in 2022. I urge you to undertake a specific action in the next 24 hours that will prove you mean to take it seriously. Here’s the wisdom articulated by Piscean rabbi and philosopher Marc-Alain Ouaknin: “People must break with the illusion that their lives have already been written and their paths already determined.” It’s reinvention time, dear Pisces.
