It will give you knew insights, empathy, and perhaps even a sense of seeking a shared solution, healing the schism of the police being “the other.” I also ask that other citizens and I begin to find other ways to live in the solution, perhaps beginning by talking to our mayor, by attending “Coffee with a Cop” events and putting ourselves out there to be part of the yet-unseen solution.

I have been bothered by the thought of the relations of the New Mexico police and citizens since I moved back here seven and a half years ago. I finally did something: started a Neighborhood Watch meeting and then signed up to take the SFPD Citizens’ Academy (a 12-week course offered for everyday people like me to learn and understand how it all works; kind of like a civics class I never took).

What I am learning ... is that stress, untreated, doesn’t go away. It goes from being “situational” to “organizational,” part of the organism’s thought process, responsive system and habitual behavior. People and stressed animals don’t “go from 0-100” without warning. ... Our ability to think or even breathe our way down becomes impaired if not impossible once stress has become organizational.

In the [past] 12 weeks ... I have come to have a new respect for and understanding of these officers. I can’t even imagine showing up each day to the extreme stress that is visited upon them, made even worse by low pay, shortage of officers and receiving a steady stream of venom from so many of us.

This stress factor works both ways: driving, walking, living with the fear of police brutality can become organizational and our own attitudes and behavior can become warped. ...

“YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOURS”

As a museum guide for 10 years … the biggest concern I have in a museum when I am working is to make sure people enjoy themselves, and the art is okay. The museum I work at has a set of rules that they deem to be important to do just that. … These may be rules that are idiosyncratic to where I work, but the talking to people about the rules is universal.

And when I have to say something to a guest about a rule, all kinds of stuff can happen.

-Name-calling (my favorite: “You’re a Nazi!”)

-Taunting (i.e. they are inches within touching the art after I asked them to not touch the art, or just “brushing” the art) -Complaining to my boss, to Yelp, or just out loud how the staff sucks after having to talk to them about something they did -Storming out the door or to the other side of the museum and/or avoiding me at all costs -Defending their touching the art (my favorite; after this woman picked up the art: “It looked out of place.”) ...

And we love to talk to people where I work, but we are not doing this for romantic reasons.

The lives of full-time movie and TV extras in New Mexico

BY S A R A H E D DY i n t e r n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

GETTING CAST

Koroll, who lives in Santa Fe, heard his first casting call on the radio. To find new jobs, he now regularly scans casting Facebook pages and message boards. He is also on the online databases of several local extra casting directors.

Elizabeth Gabel’s EG Casting, for example, is based in Albuquerque but has cast extras for movies across New Mexico since the early 2000s. She estimates about 30,000 potential background actors are included in her online database, though only 10,000 have up-to-date information.

“I’d say 50 percent of my database is retired people,” Gabel tells SFR. “The problem is, if we’re casting a scene, we can’t cast it all with retired people. We do get a lot of younger people between 18 and 25; however, they’re very unreliable. They have a 30 percent no-show rate.”

Casting background actors in New Mexico comes with another challenge, ac-

cording to Gabel.

“One of the biggest problems that we have in New Mexico is that people are overweight,” she says. “In LA, women will be a size four. In New Mexico, their average size is 14. I try to tell people—and it sounds so mean and it sounds so horrible, and I hate that—but I can’t hire you if you’re not going to fit the wardrobe. That’s frustrating for them, but it’s like, your body is your product. That’s what you’re selling.”

In addition to posting casting calls on social media and contacting people from her database, Gabel sometimes holds in-person casting calls. For The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, a 2018 Netflix original movie directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, she says 1,200 people showed up. Around 250 fit the parameters needed for the movie.

“A lot of people showed up because they wanted to be in a Coen brothers movie,” Gabel says. “Because of security purposes, now we aren’t allowed to advertise what movies we’re working on, and that really hurts us. I just finished up a project with Uma Thurman, and if I was able to advertise her name, more people probably would have come to the casting call.”

LIFE ON SET

For Koroll, a big perk of movie work is the community he’s found among his fellow background actors. “It’s a social scene you haven’t seen in your life since you were in high school,” he says. “You make friends with every age group, every color, every orientation.”

Sonya Byrd, 40, who began background acting this May, says she’s made some of her closest friends through the work.

Koroll and Byrd both say they spend the vast majority of the day “in holding:” waiting around in between scenes.

“It’s not a career for everybody,” Byrd

COURTESY NETFLIX

T

o be seen and not noticed—that’s the job of a movie extra, or background actor. And with the steadily growing New Mexican film industry, some are making “living backdrop” a full-time role.

“I started doing this and now I’m addicted to it,” Jason Koroll, 46, tells SFR. Koroll landed his first role as an extra in the 2009 film Gamer. He now makes background acting his full-time job. “I like doing it and I’m having just as much fun as if I was on vacation at another job.”

From local indies and student films to Breaking Bad and The Avengers, New Mexico has become a major hub for movie and television production. This is largely due to the state’s substantial film incentives: The state offers 25-30 percent tax rebates to film and television production companies for most in-state expenditures, including the hiring of local crew members. The currently filming Netflix series Daybreak, for example, employs about 3,000 local background actors, according to the New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions.

RIGHT: Jason Koroll in a scene in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs

tells SFR. “Sometimes there’s really early call times and you might have to show up on set at 5 o’clock and be on set for 15, 16 hours. And a lot of that time you may just be waiting around. I bring an iPad, a book, something to keep me occupied during those many hours.”

Background actors are typically paid minimum wage for their first eight hours of work. After that, they receive time and a half. The long hours aren’t the only downside to the job, according to Byrd—background actors are near the bottom of the food chain on set.

“I worked outside some of these nights when it’s really cold,” she says. “A lot of times the extras will be outside and they will provide heaters for us, but we’re there outside by the heaters while some of the actors and crew are inside somewhere warm. Then for the crew sometimes they provide better snacks and stuff than for the background actors. It just depends on the production.”

MOVING UP

Many background actors have big dreams of climbing their way up in the film industry. According to Gabel, that hope is more achievable than some might expect.

“Becoming an extra is an excellent way to get into the film industry because the film industry is mentor-oriented,” she

says. “The way to do it is to get on set and to meet the people in the area that you want to work. So a lot of the people who were working for me 10 years ago as extras are now actually production coordinators and in props and in wardrobe and moving up into the management position.”

Gabel says that it’s fairly common for background actors to get bumped up to speaking roles. Kiko Sanchez, 39, got his first line in the 2014 comedy A Million Ways to Die in the West.

“I saw a few people who looked like they could be important-looking … so I stood in front of them and they asked if I wanted to be the meat vendor,” Sanchez tells SFR. Sanchez now has an agent and soon plans to join the Screen Actors Guild. He stopped background acting about a year ago, in part to avoid being “burnt”—a TV show isn’t likely to cast for a character role someone who’s appeared as an extra in an earlier episode. Even as his acting career has grown, however, Sanchez has never wanted to leave his home state.

“I think there’s enough work out here to build a resume,” he says. “I always thought if I did go to LA, it will be because a project takes me there. There’s a good acting community out here. There’s so many creative people in New Mexico that want to make movies.”

Slip Slidin’ Away ty: “A key to having our pedestrian infrastructure working in the city is every private property owner does their duty and is responsible for clearing sidewalks next to their property.�

About 100 miles of public open space, including walkways and road medians, are overseen by the Parks and Recreation Department, according to director John MuĂąoz. He says teams make foot patrols of snow and ice conditions two to three times after a weather event, and are supposed to keep logs of each dispatch. “It’s very manual-labor intensive,â€?

MuĂąoz told SFR last Friday. “For example, these last couple of days, we’ve had people out at 4 am working these [high-priority] areas.â€?

Muùoz also says the city will post warning signs for particularly icy areas. That hasn’t always happened consistently, according to litigation reviewed

Sidewalk and roadway injuries cost Santa Fe

f you were in Santa Fe late last week, you likely tried walking on sidewalks and roads covered with snow and ice. In some areas where public or private owners haven’t yet removed it, walkways can be dangerous. A slip on ice can result in a serious injury—and an expensive lawsuit.

A review of documents from the city’s Risk Management Division to resolve litigation since January 2017 shows it paid at least $432,500 to settle four different lawsuits, all stemming from falls on city property. The largest one, at $250,000, arose from a longtime state official slipping on an ice patch.

At least two of the claims were settled by the city’s insurance carrier, Travelers Insurance, which pays for settlements and litigation after costs surpass the city’s $50,000 deductible. Officially, the city confronts ice patches and snow accumulations of 2 inches and above with a mixture of crushed lava rock and rock salt. Regina Wheeler, Public Works Department director, says most of the city’s roughly 400 miles of sidewalk are privately owned. For municipal-controlled sidewalks, Wheeler says the city’s plowing and de-icing plan hews close to its road plan. “Areas with the most traffic are addressed first,� she tells SFR. “As we make our way from high-traffic areas, we go to connector areas.�

A huge responsibility for sidewalk maintenance falls on private property owners, Wheeler says, who are liable if someone slips and falls on their proper-

state Game and Fish Department, a lack of maintenance and signage wound up costing the city a quarter of a million dollars in settlement money.

According to a complaint filed by Sloane’s attorneys in the First Judicial District, an obscured ice patch along the Santa Fe River Trail caused Sloane to be thrown from his bicycle, severely fracturing his femur. The incident happened on Valentine’s Day, 2016. “Suddenly and unexpectedly, and without cause or warning, [Sloane’s] bike slipped on a large patch of ice hidden by a shadow on the city’s trail,� the complaint reads. A shadow cast by multi-story condominium buildings at 927 Alto St. made the patch difficult to see, the complaint alleges. Pierre Levy, the lead attorney who represented Sloane, says New Mexico’s tort claims act holds public entities liable for faulty maintenance resulting in injury or death. Over the course of Sloane’s lawsuit, which the parties settled in October 2017, Levy says he learned that Santa Fe “had no records of ice removal being done on the river trail,� which bolsters

In 2016, Michael Sloane was thrown off his bike after slipping on a hidden patch of ice at the edge of this bridge above the Santa Fe River.

the claim of city negligence. “The city is immune from liability for design defects under the tort claims law, but it can be liable for faulty maintenance,� Levy tells SFR. Other lawsuits against the city for similar spills reviewed by SFR, while not related to icy conditions, also cited Santa Fe’s responsibility under state law to maintain its public areas. The suits sometimes included defendant private property owners whose buildings abutted city walkways.

In 2015, Washington-based artist Loa Ryan sued the city of Santa Fe after she tripped and fell on a downtown sidewalk along Chappelle Street during the Santa Fe Indian Market. A complaint filed by Ryan’s attorneys in September 2016 says she suffered personal injuries, wage losses and other damages. “At all times material, Defendant City of Santa Fe owed Plaintiff the duty to exercise ordinary care to keep the sidewalks safe for [Ryan’s] use, whether or not the dangerous condition that is a cause of her occurrence was obvious,� Ryan’s complaint reads.

The city paid Ryan $125,000 in January 2018. The year before, it paid $30,000 to a woman who fell on a sidewalk near 2524 Avenido Isidro, and another $27,500 to a woman who fell near Siringo Road and Calle Florinda. In light of the winter storms and increased pedestrian hazards, MuĂąoz tells SFR the parks department’s staff is currently “ramping upâ€? to handle the volume of maintenance they’re having to perform.

In the meantime, he says, people should keep an eye out for posted warnings—though they can be small and hard to notice. “If crews manually cannot break up the ice or if it’s too embedded, there are some areas we will block off,â€? MuĂąoz says.

The city’s interim risk and safety manager, Barbara Boltrek, was unavailable for further discussion with SFR.

in the world and in Santa Fe— what makes Santa Fe unique and special.

We can’t let that go. We are a diverse community.

For 2019 I hope our elected officials never forget the job that they volunteered for—to serve and protect the public for the greater good of the people and not for their own political or personal agenda, and we the people cannot be distracted with the day-to-day struggles of life so we hold those elected officials accountable.

SFR: And then for the community around you, what do want to see?

More jobs. Yeah, more jobs.

Marcell White Mover, Delancey Street Foundation That’s a good one. So, what do I need? A better lifestyle. Just change my old ways and the way that I was living before. [I was] hurting people

Natalie Guillen Mother and photographer For myself, I find that the easiest group of people to be kind to on a daily basis are nice strangers. The people we love and the annoying strangers seem to take the brunt of our moods and grumpy days. So in the new year, I want to practice being consistently kinder to the people I love, and kinder to difficult strangers.

And for Santa Fe, I want employers and businesses to be more mom-friendly, providing maternal and paternal leave with pay (or at least partial pay). I believe Santa Fe would be a more vibrant place if women could return to the workforce after having kids without having to choose between full-time mom and full-time work. Stimulating part-time work, workplaces with onsite childcare and jobs that provide flexible days and hours would be simply magical.

Bill Deutsch Barista, Holy Spirit Espresso It’s going to sound stupid. It’s pretty blunt. But OK, I’m going to be vulnerable. Come to think of it, it’s pretty much everyone’s resolution.

Bring it, 2019!

All right, personally, I want to lose weight. Why? So I can look better for the community. It’s that simple. I thought of this earlier this morning.

I went through my mind thinking, ‘Do I have a resolution? Yeah. Lose weight. Why? So I can look better for the community.’ So the better I look, the better the community looks. Can I say that?

Simone Rael Musician I’d like to see myself traveling. I want to go to California, go on up the coast and then switch over to the East Coast and kind of just travel and really connect.

And that’s what I want to see for my community as well, is the connection for a traveler going through and never being in places. I’d like to have people with open arms coming to greet me and, I don’t know, help me become myself in a way, through all my travels and stuff. So I guess that’s what I’d want to see from other people, is that initiative to give back and pay it forward.

And really, [for me], facing that fear about traveling. I’ve wanted to travel for so long and I’ve had the money to do it and the means to do it, but there’s just like something inside me [that says] I can’t do it alone or whatever. But it would be really good for me to get some inspiration and just do it alone. Like a leap of faith or something, you know?

response to the Trump administration. I’ve been here six years and I’ve already seen change, but a lot of people come to Santa Fe with an image of it like race doesn’t matter.

But for right now, that can’t stand.

Because it’s a tourist city, it puts an emphasis on external images that attract tourists. One example is the [Entrada], which I was shocked by when I first moved here, but I’ve seen it disappear. A lot of institutions have a foundation which is of white supremacy, and I don’t say that in an accusing manner, but the community is not really as much of a tri-cultural community as it could be or needs to be. It’s been more of a tourist trap; there’s a weakness for sentimentality toward tourists. We need to realize contention can be a healthy thing, our challenge is to deal with it in a healthy way.

Banyan Fierer Executive director, Santa Fe Human Rights Alliance I need a sense of community, belonging and communal interaction.

Whether it’s helping out somebody at Sprouts market because they’re having a hard time getting in their

car, spontaneously having a dance party with people you just met. …

It’s that deeper sense of community.

How do you bring people together who wouldn’t otherwise be together?

Permeability allows us to grow. As far as Santa Fe goes, there are very elemental things. I’m really into relational aesthetics and politics, and one of the most poignant and simple things people can do is look at each other. Conceptual artist here, but I think that what could change the most about Santa Fe is that people begin looking at each other and interacting with each other, hopefully in a positive way. With a larger community, also with LGBTQIA folks, it’s about enough delineation to find a sense of self, and after that it’s about moving forward and realizing we’re part of a larger group/community. Once we realize we’re part of a larger group, it’s easier to weave in those disparate threads of a larger group of people.

So I guess that’s what I’d want to see from other people is that initiative to give back and pay it forward.

There’s a lot of things we’re starting here now—we started new ways of looking at math and talking about math, they’ve already stared the language part. I am also curious to see what the new governor is actually going to do. [Michelle Lujan Grisham] made it evident she’s not happy with PARCC, but I really hope they look for an assessment that helps our special education population be more successful. The tests that they’re doing right now don’t do [these students] a service.

They like to say they’re really liberal, but every time I go to Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s, everyone’s staring at me like I don’t belong here. And it’s like, I work my ass off and no one really pays attention to that, they just see another brown guy in Whole Foods and are like, ‘What is he? Where is he from?’ I was born and raised in America. … What I need from the community is to be noticed.

Because it’s like, just because I’m such a small fraction of the community, I should be dismissed? And I constantly feel like everyone doesn’t notice who I am, because they just see a brown guy and they jump to Muslim or all those synonyms like terrorist—and it’s like, I don’t bother anyone.

I just want to be spiritually and physically and emotionally healthy. ... I’m okay with not being wealthy, just being spiritually wealthy.

-Juan Valdez

Patrick Gendron Portfolio manager and young Santa Feans happy hour host I hope that we can really come together more as a community around our shared values. I would like to give back more and find ways to work with different subcultures within our little town to sharpen our shared vision for the future. I look forward to helping build a community of acceptance and tolerance but also one that stands up for what is right. I hope that we can work towards a Santa Fe where every person can afford to have housing and where all children can experience art and learn about our rich cultural history. We need to strive for a social democracy right here in our small town. We can do it!

Juan Valdez Caseworker, Santa Fe Community Guidance Center I wish the city would open a medical detox program. We have a social detox, but we’re having to take a lot of people to Albuquerque because these are people that are substance abusers, and the [Santa Fe Recovery Center] only takes people for social detox. I just think Santa Fe needs that [type of ] center, so you don’t have to go to Albuquerque. For myself, I just want to be spiritually and physically and emotionally healthy.

I don’t need wealth, I just need to be well. I’m okay with not being wealthy, just being spiritually wealthy.

Or are there other things that community might want and need a little bit more?

Resolving to Do Better

BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he wind had been blowing all morning. By the time we were headed to the cornice, it was whipped into an overhang so prominent that it seemed, even from the distant view on the chairlift, to cast a shadow. I asked my mom, who is closing in on 70 years old, whether she thought the arthritis gnawing at her knees should steer us toward a lower-angle entry. She went for the drop-off.

I tipped my skis off the edge, and three turns down, looked back to watch her clear the plunge. But she was already off, boot-deep in recycled powder. She told me later about first visiting this spot a decade ago. As we’d lined up at the rim, she’d wondered about the choice. Then a man

Let’s take this year to be really clear: Women are stepping up outdoors

in his 60s zipped past us, and she thought, surely if he could, she could do it, too. And of course, she could. She’s been a professionally certified ski instructor for more than 45 years and still sails through the choppiest, most monstrous moguls.

She also embedded in me a sense that women can do anything outdoors they set their minds to. That’s a rare gift in a world still marked with traces of the idea that women are not fast enough, strong enough or tough enough. Those misperceptions stamp until misshapen a woman’s view of herself.

“I think that’s the biggest internal barrier for women: Maybe they’re not sure they can do it, or they might be nervous about it,” Jan Reynolds said in a recent interview with Backcountry Magazine. Reynolds set records for high-altitude skiing in Tibet

and circumnavigated Mount Everest in the 1980s, and has since made a study of women’s cultural roles.

“I say, ‘Just go!’” she continued. “You find out so much more about who you are, what you can do and what the world has to offer when you try. That’s a hard thing for women—to take that first step. But once they do, they’re on it. They love it. They stay in shape; they bond with their friends.

“My only hope is that I can be the voice in every female’s ear that says, ‘You got this. You can do this. This is yours.’”

Specters trailing women start with “she can’t ride that,” run right into, “she’s only here to keep the kids entertained,” and end in the assumption that a woman can’t possibly have goals or dreams that exceed the expectations society assigns her, which now encompass successful career and successful motherhood and effortless beauty all at the same time. How dare she want to run a marathon or climb a mountain. Who will care for the kids?

While the hope is that women shrug off those stigmas and seize their dreams, their access and opportunities can be eased by those who assume that they belong there, rather than believing they don’t. That’s the

other half of the equation. Men go to the men they know when they recruit partners for big trips—just like they do when they start companies or seek out an expert.

Women drop off those lists. An outdoor equality advocate once joked to me that men never stop to think about how few women work in the outdoor industry until the happy hours when they look around and find no one to flirt with.

Camber Outdoors hits these points in a CEO Pledge, signed by more than 80 companies, committing to “accelerating equity, inclusion and diversity in their companies as a strategic business imperative.” Camber’s research argues these hires boost innovation, marketability and profit.

The same principles that bar us from appreciating one another without prejudice show up later in the worst of ways.

The organization #SafeOutside has added the step of looking at the role men play in perpetuating situations that range from unwelcoming to abusive for women outdoors. A survey conducted in 2018 found that 47 percent of women—and 16 percent of men—reported experiences that could be considered sexual harassment while climbing or in climbing-related activities.

This column has consistently promoted the feats of women in the outdoors, breaking records on slacklines and the nation’s longest trails, racing on bikes and skis, even just abandoning their teenage comfort zone to backpack for weeks. This year, expect to see that mission move to the forefront.

So I’ll share a suggestion for a new year: Even if you think you’ve been doing well supporting equal opportunity, resolve to do better. Resolve to be the voice that encourages someone to try, to dream big, to remember she has the skills and the strength. Resolve to contribute to a view of women as pushing the boundaries of what we know is possible for all humans.

The Enthusiast is a twice-monthly column dedicated to the people in and stories from our outdoor sports community. Send feedback and story ideas to elizabeth@sfreporter.com.

EVENT WED/2 GOOD JORB! One of the cruelest things society ever did was convince everyone that working hard and going to school means there’s a job just waiting for them. And while there are certainly aspects of that which ring true, a work ethic and a degree aren’t enough. This is why the LaFarge branch of the Santa Fe Public Library welcomes professionals from a bevy of fields such as cartoonists, filmmakers and firefighters to monthly gatherings at which they speak openly with teens about setting and working toward their career goals. An idea of how the real world actually works is always helpful to young folks, and those who attend might even learn a thing or two about jobs they didn’t even know exist.

For example, they’ll pay me for this blurb later.

COURTESY SCHOOL OF ROCK ALBUQUERQUE

MUSIC SUN/6 ROCK DEGREE The School of Rock programs that have exploded across the nation in recent years have been some of the most important and invaluable resources for budding musicians probably ever.

By teaching the up-and-comers that they can not only learn to play music well but also rock out all hard—and that’s OK—such programs build confidence, teach that creating is a worthwhile endeavor and provide the world with an ever-expanding batch of talented musicsmiths. Albuquerque’s School of Rock ABQ is one such place, and when the students from various programs within the school take the Meow Wolf stage this weekend, they’ll have learned that music is valid, emotional outlets are necessary and that pretty much everybody everywhere loves a good concert.

BY ANY OTHER NAME Once upon a time, circa the mid-1800s, rose aficionados cultivated and adored such flowery-named blooms as the Pearl of Gold, the Marchionesse of Lorne and the Autumn Damask. But as time went by, hybrid tea roses became all the rage due to their hardiness and ease of care, and the old-timey types of flowers were all but lost. Author Thomas Christopher finds this fascinating (because it really kind of is), and thus wrote the book In Search of Lost Roses, an oddly gripping tale of the old roses and the gardeners aiding in their comeback. The Santa Fe Botanical Garden’s monthly Botanical Book Club invites discussion of Christopher’s work over cookies, tea and friendship.

A Window In

Reading series offers the public a glimpse at a world-class program Most of you are probably already enlightened, but in case you aren’t aware: The old trope of the dour, melancholy writer in all black couldn’t be further from the truth. Readings, particularly poetry readings, are often riotous and joyful affairs, full of laughs and poignant insights and intellectual connection virtually unparalleled in other types of performance.

Accordingly, a master of fine arts program in creative writing like that offered by the Institute of American Indian Arts isn’t a bunch of people poring over books in solitude; it’s the basis of a firm, friendly, supportive community of writers who love sharing their work and encouraging their comrades.

“The Native literary community is very close,” says Jennifer Foerster (Muscogee Creek), interim director of IAIA’s lowresidency program. “People know each other very well, know each other’s work, follow each other, teach each other.”

The MFA program, now in its sixth year, is borne on that camaraderie. “Non-Native authors too, of course, are close-knit within that community and circled around and came on board, and what was born was a pretty great collection of writers to

teach as mentors.”

Those mentors, as well as a few visiting poets brought in with the support of the Lannan Foundation, take eight days and evenings to teach, read, lecture, and mingle with the IAIA literary community.

Each semester, the public is invited to evening readings in all genres (including film) from the likes of Tommy Orange, Luci Tapahonso, Brandon Hobson and many more, as well as current IAIA MFA students. We can’t possibly list everyone involved here, so check out SFR’s calendar (starting on page 20) for each day’s events; readings happen daily from Jan. 5-12.

Cool tip: If you can’t make the readings but are still intrigued by the IAIA MFA, head to iaia.edu/mfa and check out the school’s Vimeo channel, which includes nearly 500 videos of lectures and classes, free for public viewing.

LLOYD GRAY

MUSIC

Think It’s Funny Española’s Snot Goblin brings a potent witch’s brew in their debut EP

BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

lot of bands take for granted how important a solid image is. When a band really dials in an aesthetic that fits its music, it demonstrates a focus that most people tend to ignore. But try to separate the music of Black Flag from the artwork of Raymond Pettibon and it seems impossible. It’s something more musicians should consider; even in the digital age, album art is important—and at the young age of 20, Thomas Gray, lead singer, guitarist and founder of Snot Goblin, already has a vital partner in his younger brother Lloyd Gray, whose drumming and visual art help place the band years ahead in the game.

Snot Goblin released its debut EP, Into the Boiling Pot, last Halloween, and it’s visually introduced by what appears to be the band’s mascot. Like a lo-fi version of Iron Maiden’s Eddie, Snot Goblin has their own green creature featured in all of their art, its maniacal grin and witch’s hat working to brand exactly what they’re selling—a cartoonish splatter-punk collage of horror elements and grave-fresh riffs that all sum up to be one of the most fun metal releases New Mexico has seen in years.

The album cover has it all: A foreboding Scooby Doo-esque background, the goblin itself and a noxious green-gasgurgling cauldron—the titular boiling pot

from which the Gray brothers birthed their monster.

“We draw a lot of inspiration from other bands but mostly from horror movies. We try to stay true to that and weave in our own stories.” Lloyd tells SFR. “[The EP is] the kind of a concept album about being born from the boiling pot. We’re describing all the ingredients that go into creating this monster and birthing it. Then throughout the songs

We draw a lot of inspiration from other bands but mostly from horror movies. We try to stay true to that and weave in our own stories.

-Lloyd Gray

it’s kind of like gathering the ingredients, and at the end it’s like the death of it, decaying.”

The music is in line with other story-driven metal bands such as Detroit’s Acid Witch and Chicago’s self-described “murder metal” act Macabre. Like those bands, Snot Goblin doesn’t just rely on gimmicks. The songwriting is solid and the tracks are performed well, especially

Snot Goblin’s mascot will haunt you.

notable given Boiling Pot’s home recording and lack of professional production. And whereas potential muddiness is the pitfall to any home recording project, Snot Goblin’s material has clarity and punch in a way plenty of metal acts struggle to find even in the studio. Besides, we’re talking punky thrashers who would surely suffer under the weight of too much studio sheen.

Take “Path of the Shrunken Heads,” a track that starts with a sample from 1971’s Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory before vaulting through a carnival ride of breakneck guitar riffs, tremolopicked leads and demented vocals. Even with the focus on horror imagery, the musicality keeps you grinning.

So how does such a relatively young band have it so together? According to Thomas, it has something to do with the specific type of collaborative songwriting between he and his brother—and it all starts with the artwork.

“Lloyd’s visual art really helps us craft the songs,” he says. “We’ll look at an image and say, ‘Dang, we need to write a

song about that,’ then we’ll come up with a track name and add all the concepts into each song. It will eventually tell the story of the image of the album.”

While unorthodox, it has clearly focused the band’s ideas into something fresh: the creation of visual worlds first, then the creation of a soundtrack to match that unique iconography. Now joined by their older brother Daniel Mapp (also of local metal band Marrow Monger) on bass and friend Zach Vigil on second guitar, Snot Goblin is already crafting new material for a sophomore follow-up.

Catch them on the Southside this week with Denver-based jazz-inflected noisegrind crew Giardia and Santa Fe’s recently unleashed grindcore weirdos St. Victims.

Eye on the Image L

ast September, students from the New Mexico School for the Arts photography program were invited to submit their work as part of the Eye of the Image Awards, a contest sponsored by the O’Connor Fund for the Visual Arts. The winners printed on this page were selected earlier this month.

Local creators served as judges, including Kate Rivers, Jon Stern, and Pilar Law, also the owner of Edition One Gallery.

“Every participant’s work reflected an appreciation of the

formal techniques of making great photographs,” Law says.

“The images were striking in their maturity both in composition and in printing technique. What a thrill to see such great work!”

A representative from the O’Connor Fund tells SFR that the submissions were stunning across the board, and that the contest is now slated to become an annual event. Such a boon not only bolsters confidence in the budding photogs, but it also doesn’t look half bad on a college application.

COURTESY BIANCA SOPOCI-BELKNAP

As we head into 2019, Santa Fe nonprofit Earth Care is on the hunt for $10,000 in donations. The organization is all about educating and empowering young Santa Feans through a curriculum of youth-first cross-cultural relations and support to help in creating a more sustainable future for us all—noble both for humankind and for local young folk growing up in a town that does’t always keep their best interests in mind. SFR spoke with co-director Bianca SopociBelknap to get the lowdown on Earth Care, and everyone else can find out more at earthcarenm.org. (Alex De Vore) In plain terms, what’s Earth Care’s specific goal?

Our goal is to create an ecologically sustainable and socially and economically just world. You know, just a small goal. We work in Northern New Mexico to support Native, Latinx, Chicano, Hispano, and low-income youth and families to work together cross-culturally to strengthen our communities and start organizing around the issues they care about—which are the issues of our times; climate change, immigration, income inequality, poverty, civil rights, housing, health care, etc. We think of ourselves as a feeder into the movement since we activate and support folks who most often haven’t had the opportunity or privilege to receive formal leadership development from other orgs and whose voices are almost entirely left out of decision-making processes.

We always hear about how Santa Fe is terrible for young people. Do you see evidence that organizations like Earth Care tend to give them a sense of purpose?

Young people are not just young, nor are they just students. They are artists, workers, intellectuals, visionaries, orators, strategists, family members and community members. Our young leaders have complex identities based on rich cultural heritages as well as their racial, class, sexual, gender and religious identities. This is what our organization acknowledges and celebrates.

Our work is to help the young and emerging leaders we are cultivating discover their voices and their gifts and deploy those enormous assets to make our communities and the world a better place. One of the things our leaders hate the most is when they are asked about “youth issues,” as though their experience, concerns for the world and needs are limited to their age bracket. Young people and the families they are a part of, including their chosen families, are actually the foundation of our community—because they carry the thread that runs from present, into our future. We have generations and generations of young people who’ve come up through our programs and remain part of the Earth Care family (which is how we refer to ourselves, never as an organization). It is beautiful that so many of our trainers, board members and role models were once youth participants themselves. And we don’t stop at education. We believe in organizing and changing how decision-making gets done.

What’s an easily noticeable step Earth Care might take if donation goals are met?

Our youth and parent leaders will be organizing their families and neighbors like crazy around three issues we hope to make serious progress on in 2019: education reform, climate justice—let this be the year for renewables!—and equitable community development. We’re working with Chainbreaker [Collective] on creating a model that we hope we can use for our Southside communities since that’s where we’re based. Most immediately, support will go to help us fund our membership meeting for [Martin Luther King] Day this January.

The book of the month for January is by Thomas Christopher.

Chrisopher describes how, before the 1860s, people loved old roses like “Pearl of Gold,” “Marchionesse of Lorne” or “Autumn Damask.”

Then along came the hybrid tea roses, which were easier to arrange, more dramatic and longer-blooming, and the old roses were all but forgotten. Christopher tells the fascinating stories of the old roses—how they were created and made their way to America—and the unforgettable people who “rustle” them from abandoned lots and secret gardens today.

She visits from Las Cruces to read from and discuss the book this evening; it tells the story of the fictional Fire-Sky Tribe; when a young woman linked to a list of missing tribal members commits suicide, Pueblo Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews is assigned to the case. As the investigation unfolds, she uncovers a threat that strikes at the very heart of what it means to be a Fire-Sky Native: victims are chosen and murdered because of their genetic makeup. In a vengeful twist, the killer ensures the spirits of those targeted will wander forever, lost to their family, their people, and their ancestors.

2019 Food Trend Predictions

BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

N

ew Year’s predictions, like resolutions, seem like exercises in futility. I mean, who really knows what’s going to happen tomorrow, much less over the next 12 months?

Well, apparently there are folks that do this prediction thing for a living, collating user data to make informed predictions about what’s going to be “hot” in the new year. Among these people are the analytics nerds at Whole Foods and Pinterest, who use what you’re asking about or searching for to take a good guess at the evolution of food trends.

Here’s a look at five of the more interesting trends predicted for the food world, and thoughts on whether we might see them pop up locally. Also, I add a prediction of my own: You won’t stick to that New Year’s diet. And you shouldn’t. There’s just too much goodness out there.

CBD is buzzing CBD is the new food wunderkind— perhaps that’s why The New York Times recently declared it the “new avocado toast.” CBD is the non-psychoactive compound of cannabis and hemp plants and is used mainly as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory, as well as a general relaxant. Because it’s not regulated like its psychoactive sister, THC, it’s relatively easy to find and legal for anyone to purchase. In 2018, we found it included in everything from tinctures and creams to caramels and doggie treats.

In 2019, the craze is predicted to spiral, with CBD cocktails already being slung in New York City, CBD smoothies spinning up in Los Angeles and the introduction of mainstream products such as Recess, a La Croix-esque, CBD-infused sparkling wa-

ter. According to Gloria Silva, one of the experts at CBD shop Sacred Wellness (1300 Luisa St., Ste. 4, 257-3733), the obsession likely won’t hit Santa Fe as hard as it has other places.

“My concern is that people might jump into it without doing any research,” Silva tells SFR. “The effects of CBD are highly personal and there’s no protocol for taking it, so usually finding out what works for a patient is a process of trial and error.” So, rather than going out and downing a six-pack of CBD bubble water, use the education and experience of your local expert. Overdoing it is not a pretty way to start a new year.

This milkshake [might] bring the boys to the yard While on a recent trip to Connecticut, I had the opportunity to taste the new kid on the block of New England-style IPA: a milkshake IPA by Relic Brewing. A milkshake IPA is basically billed as a hazy, fuller-bodied IPA achieved through brewing with lactose (milk sugar). As I swirled the sickly sweet bubbles around in my mouth, all I could think was, “Oh, hell no!”

Being that New Mexico is considered a bit of a powerhouse in the world of IPA, I wondered if this is a trend we may see more of here. “People love the juicy, hazy, creamy aspects of milkshake IPAs,” says Tom Ludzia, a brewer at Second Street Brewery. “We’ve made them before and they sell out right away.” I was surprised by this, so I asked about the sweetness. “I can’t say I personally could drink more than one but, really, it’s just a chance play

FOOD

of it all, no amount of fancy water makes up for good old-fashioned H2O. dif with something different,” Ludzia says.

“It’s a lot of fun for brewers and people really like a beer that tastes as different as it looks.”

Hydration hype Former trend-setters coconut water and aloe vera water might see competition this year from some unexpected sources: maple trees and prickly pear cactus. While uberwaters have been lauded for the treatment of everything from nasty hangovers to a bad case of wrinkles, the KIND 2019 healthy snacking trend report notes the newcomers taking these types of health claims a step farther. The phytonutrients, amino acids, minerals and antioxidants found in maple sap make it a healthy alternative to other “waters” on the market.

Cactus water, on the other hand, is made with half the calories and sugar than many coconut water products.

This elixir claims benefits ranging from fighting skin damage from the sun with taurine, and boosting the immune system with vitamins B and C, iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium. Intriguing claims, yes, but consider this: Pinterest’s top 100 trends for 2019 notes that searches for ginger water are up 353 percent.

Ginger has a long history as an anti-inflammatory and digestive aid and, no doubt, makes for a much more affordable water “experience.”

And when it comes down to the reality

Don’t call it a comeback Hummus has made many an appearance on food trends lists over the years. Actu Actually, it probably never left. Now, 2019 is reportedly the dawn of—get this—dessert hummus? Yup! Whole Foods Markets has listed fro frozen, sweet hummus as one of its top 10 food trends for 2019, along with other “innovative bases” for frozen goodies, such as avocado, tahini and coconut wa water. Owen Laurion, pastry chef at Paloma (401 S Guadalupe St., 467-8624) 467-8624), was a little surprised by this predicted pen penchant.

“After thinking about what on earth frozen hummus could be … it seems there’ve been a lot of people making al alternative, dairy-free ice creams,” Laurion posits. “Recently I was experimenting with garbanzo bean water for a vegan me meringue, and that’s what this trend could be about. Vegan baking and pastry are on the rise to satisfy growing vegan patronage and changing eating habits in general.”

So, you might not see dessert hummus showing up on local restaurant menus anytime soon, but if it sounds intriguing, keep an eye on the freezer case at Whole Foods.

Butter me up The paleo craze will stay a craze in 2019, and for those looking for nutrient-dense alternatives to the ubiquitous almond butter, sunflower, pumpkin and even watermelon seed butters are predicted to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame this year.

The KIND report notes these butters contain the same good fats as nut butters, but can also be enjoyed by those with nut allergies. Seed butters can be eaten straight, with fruit or on toast, and are even being used in soups as an alternative to cream.

Bonus: You can make them yourself.

What better way to start the New Year than by trying something new?

+ A PROMISING

PRISM OF CHENEY AS THE BROODING FULCRUM OF A RIGHT-WING MOVEMENT - NO MORE INSIGHTFUL THAN CURATED WIKIPEDIA PAGES; CHARACTERS ARE CARICATURES

BY NEIL MORRIS a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

9

“Vice” is the nickname President George W Bush gave Vice President Dick Cheney. It’s also a stock character in Elizabethan morality plays, a devilish opportunist often cloaked as Virtue, remorseless for evil acts. This is the promising prism through which director Adam McKay refracts Cheney, the brooding fulcrum of a right-wing movement that began with Nixon and continues through Trump.

But a feature film, like Shakespeare, requires other elements. Vice, an ambitious mess, is a parody in search of a punch line—a cheap-seats harangue no more insightful than Wikipedia. It opens with a disclaimer from the filmmakers, who ostensibly set out to reveal something about the notoriously inscrutable Cheney: “We did our fucking best.” As the film goes on, this defiant declaration sounds more and more like an exasperated mea culpa.

We first meet Cheney (a corpulent Christian Bale) in 1963, a hard-drinking “dirtbag” who goes from running high-tension line across Wyoming to a congressional internship on Capitol Hill without much transition. Cheney learns at the feet of Donald Rumsfeld (Steve Carell), a young representative with a Cheshire grin and a crass disposition. They worm their way into the White House,

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

eventually scoring high-ranking positions amid the wreckage of Watergate.

McKay then speed-walks us to 2000, when Bush (Sam Rockwell) is begging Cheney to serve as his running mate. It’s intriguing to observe how the initially ambivalent Cheney sizes up Bush as a greenhorn and gradually reels him into augmenting the power of the vice president. Less intriguing are McKay’s caricatures. Bale turns in a masterful act of mimicry that reveals little about the man or his motives. Lynne Cheney (Amy Adams) is just a sanctimonious prude. Rockwell pigeon-toes his way through a cornpone W that minimizes Bush’s culpability.

At one point, Alfred Molina appears as a waiter offering Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of their dinner party such menu items as “Enemy Combatant,” “Extreme Rendition,” and “Guantanamo Bay,” a surreal aside similar to the one McKay used in The Big Short. The scene is an apt metaphor for the whole of Vice, in which a parade

of horrors—9/11, Abu Ghraib, Cheney shooting his friend in the face—swirl in a haze of visual tchotchkes and think-tank argot. Accompanying it all is the needless nattering of a narrator, a common crutch of McKay’s, who dangles the identity of his omnipresent observer like the MacGuffin it becomes.

For all its faults, Vice nearly stumbles onto an ending that befits its tragic, dramatic aspirations: a montage of Cheney’s political casualties that fades to black on the image of his transplanted heart. But then McKay tacks on one of the most misguided mid-credits codas you’ll ever see, allowing Cheney to break the fourth wall and defend his actions in service of “keeping us safe.” It’s remorseless Vice, still as much a stock character as ever.

THE FAVOURITE

BIRD BOX

+ COOL AND SPOOKY IDEA - MOSTLY TEDIOUS AND DISSATISFYING

Those who’ve seen the new Sandra Bullockled thriller/kind-of horror film Bird Box have been flocking (ha!) to Facebook in droves to cleverly and angrily clack their keys to the tune of “It’s basically A Quiet Place!” They’re not entirely wrong, they’ve just got it backwards.

Indeed, Netflix’s new vehicle does find the world ending amid a strange threat with a particular means of killing its victims, but the Josh Malerman novel on which it’s based came out way back in 2014. Sorry, Krasinski fans.

In Bird Box, Bullock is swept up in the end of the world as we know it, a calamity caused by some invisible force (they call them “creatures”) that, when gazed upon, causes people to see some invisible something and then kill themselves. We get hints that maybe it’s literal angels, maybe it’s demons, maybe it’s some ancient force that cleanses the Earth every so often. Whatever. All we really know is that the mentally ill seemingly have no problem looking right at whatever the creature might be, and they want everyone else to look, too. So, like, there’s more danger there, too.

Those who wish to stay alive stay indoors

You’ll wish you’d thought to have worn a blindfold (and to have shoved knitting needles into your ears) once you’ve seen Bird Box.

THE BALLAD OF BUSTER SCRUGGS

(because the creatures’ one weakness is apparently being inside) or wear blindfolds when they have no choice but to scavenge for supplies and such out in the open. But when all seems lost and Bullock is forced to traverse a river, blindfolded and with a couple of kids and a box full of birds in tow, blah blah blah blah blah.

Bird Box leans too intently into its own premise, building and building but never really revealing. There’s that old horror movie rule about how showing the monster defuses the scares—but in this case, never learning what the creatures are or what exactly they’re up to is incredibly irritating.

Even worse are the pointless characters who, in most cases, may as well announce they’re just there to die moments later. John Malkovich is particularly grating in a role that seems as if it were written to mock his Malkovichian gestalt; he yells and stomps and is a dick. Everything else, meanwhile, pretty much just happens to Bullock, and she reacts in wideeyed terror or fumbles sightlessly against her invisible foes and errant tree branches alike.

There may be something to be said for creating a sense of dread and tension, but the resolution that eventually comes in Bird Box is as hollow as it is dissatisfying. If you Google the book or movie, you’ll find plenty of articles about how director Susan Bier (a foreign CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

dimension, where everything takes place. You’d think it would feel confusing, but even as the different planes of existence begin collapsing on one another in a gloriously colorful and chaotic endgame sequence, we never lose the story or the characters for a moment.

Of course, this could be because Spider-Verse is ultimately courting a younger audience and attempting to make quantum physics digestible.

For the nit-pickers, this will surely mean small flaws to pick apart; for those who came to have fun, however, they’ll be able to let go and enjoy what must be hands-down the most fun movie of the year for any age. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG, 117 min.

START TO FINISH

Filmmakers have really made Spider-Man a lot more fun as a character in recent years. Sorry, Tobey Maguire, but gothy/jazzy/brooding Spider-Man just isn’t as fun as wise-cracking, backflipping, tons-of-heart Spider-Man. The newest film in the hero’s extended universe, Into the Spider-Verse, proves it with its unique animation style, clever script and nonstop cavalcade of in-jokes, out-jokes and good oldfashioned Marvel mayhem.

Here we follow Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), a teenager and relative newcomer to the world of Spidey, as he deals with being too smart and talented to particularly fit in at his new fancy school. Cue radioactive spider bite, the origin of powers, high stakes and, in this case, a super-collider funded by longtime Marvel villain Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) that opens up parallel universes from which other SpiderHeroes emerge. You’ve got schlubby middleaged Spider-Man (Jake Johnson), super-cute/ punk-rock Spider-Gwen (Hailee Steinfeld), Noir Spider-Man (Nicolas Cage), the ultra-anime Peni Parker (Kimiko Glenn) and Spider-Ham (a delightful Looney Tunes homage character voiced

by John Mulaney). Turns out bridging between dimensions is no good for any of them, though, so they have to stop Kingpin, get back to their respective dimensions and blow up the supercollider while learning about love and what’s important and stuff. Easy.

Into the Spider-Verse truly shines in its willingness to riff on past Marvel mistakes (dancing Spider-Man, for example) and highlighting and/or parodying beloved fan elements while throwing enough curveballs to keep us guessing.

A number of twists even managed to surprise this longtime comics fan, and Phil Lord’s script, co-written by Miles Morales creator Brian Michael Bendis, keeps up the feels while never straying into material that’s too heavy-handed or emotional.

The animation style, meanwhile, is off-thewall fantastic with disparate styles representing the different Spideys and an old-timey comic book filter tying everything together via Miles’

+ QUITE FUNNY; PERFORMANCES FROM PRINCIPAL CAST

- DRAGS ON A TAD TOO LONG

Director Yorgos Lanthimos does like his moody comedies, but whereas his previous works such as 2015’s The Lobster leaned heavily into magical realism, he stays grounded with The Favourite for a darkly funny and captivating period piece the likes of which we’ve never really seen.

It’s 1700-something, and an aging Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) reigns over England and war with France (Queen Anne’s War, to be precise)—but the country land owners who fund the dustup are emptying their coffers at a pace too quick for their own tastes. Enter Lady Sarah (Rachel Weisz, who reunites with Lanthimos for the second time), the queen’s close confidant, sometimes lover and the true power behind the throne. Sarah rides roughshod over Anne almost always, navigating the temper tantrums and sexual tugs-of-war between moments of brief lucidity, medical issues and the rising tide of a dissatisfied citizenry.

While the queen whiles away the hours lonely, wandering the halls, eating her way to sickness or tending to the rabbits she’s raised to replace her 17 dead children, Sarah exercises power and bends the country to her will. But when her cousin Abigail (Emma Stone)—once a lady and since fallen from grace—arrives looking for work, a battle for the queen’s ear (and thus, absolute power) unfolds like a gloriously slowburning train wreck.

Weisz is phenomenal as the too-proud Sarah and often does more with body language or a simple expression than should be possible.

Colman shines as well, particularly in scenes with Weisz, and there’s undeniable chemistry between them. Never once do we comfortably understand their relationship, though there does seem to have been a foundation of sincere love laid at one point, even if it’s mutated into a sort of puppet regime. Stone impresses, too, and not just with a capable British accent, but in the smug way she comes into her own. At first, we

MOVIES

The Favourite: Who knew 1700s England was all about games of sexy one-upsmanship? see her as a wounded animal intent on survival and little else, but with writers Deborah Davis and Tony McNamara’s clever script, she evolves into a bit of an evil monstrosity. Our allegiances shift several times over, and it’s satisfying to watch men who believe themselves powerful reveal their pettiness, juvenile sexual motivations and ultimate impotence in the face of strong women leaders. Don’t get us wrong, no one woman particularly uses her strength for good; it’s lust and power they’re feeding throughout The Favourite.

These struggles are well-illustrated through some of the most gorgeous cinematography we’ve seen this year. The closing moments of practically every shot read almost like Renaissance paintings, and Lanthimos reliably lends a few extra moments toward the end of many scenes for their goings-on to land. They hit hard and drive the pacing forward—no easy job for a film set in the 1700s and full of fanciful clothes, ridiculous wigs and stuffy bedchambers belonging to nobles.

And even if we don’t quite know whom to root for as the film winds down, we do rather enjoy ambiguity so artfully displayed. They snuck this one in right under the awards-season wire and already have a number of Golden Globes nominations for acting and writing, and we won’t be surprised if The Favourite team takes home a couple statues—but even if they don’t, it doesn’t make it any less fun watching the would-be powerful stoop so low. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 119 min.

dissonance when we’re presented with such emotionally differing material in such a rapid-fire manner.

Special mentions abound, however, to the likes of Tim Blake Nelson as the titular Buster Scruggs, as funny and layered a performance as we’ve ever seen from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? vet. Kudos go as well to Harry Melling, whose turn as a limbless actor tethered to a Liam Neeson-run traveling theater act far surpasses what we know of the Harry Potter alum.

Neeson, as always, is pretty damn good in the quieter moments.

But it’s not all good news, especially in the case of Big Sick actor/writer Zoë Kazan’s toolong and too-slow installment wherein a woman traveling by covered wagon caravan loses everything to the unforgiving era and region. Still, by the time we reach the final entry and are thrust into the capable hands of talented actors like Brendan Gleeson, Tyne Daly and Saul Rubinek, all is mostly forgiven.

It would be strange to take in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs in a theater, though its sweeping panoramic vistas and stunning cinematography surely help defuse its more stilted moments. All the same, it’s better to view on the couch at home where one might have a chance to pause and reflect if they so chose. The premise is interesting and the writing is solid—it’s just not quite what we’re used to, for better or for worse. (ADV) Netflix, R, 132 min.

+ DARK AND WELL-CRAFTED - SOME EPISODES LAG; SOME

PERFORMANCES DISAPPOINT

While the anthology film is nothing particularly new, it’s most often relegated to horror— think Creepshow. We’ve almost definitely never seen one so intricately crafted and large in scope as with the Coen Brothers’ new Netflix (and in select theaters) production, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. Six disparate tales of the Wild West are told from various genre standpoints, from the dark comedy of a sing-songy gunslinger or the robber ever-destined for the gallows to the sparse and ultimately triumphant tale of the aged prospector and the subtle scares of a mysteriously populated stagecoach bound for who-knows-where.

The episodes, as it were, are at turns quite funny or heartbreaking or, in one case, almost Tolstoyan—though without a singular narrative thread interwoven throughout, it’s challenging to carry the events or lessons of one tale with us into the next. This is by design, and Scruggs almost never stumbles in its pacing, but it can cause a sort of disconnect or cognitive

Week of January 2nd

ARIES (March 21-April 19): No one has resisted the force of gravity with more focus than businessman Roger Babson (1875–1967). He wrote an essay entitled “Gravity - Our Enemy Number One,” and sought to develop anti-gravity technology. His Gravity Research Foundation gave awards to authentic scientists who advanced the understanding of gravity. If that organization still existed and offered prizes, I’m sure that researchers of the Aries persuasion would win them all in 2019. For your tribe, the coming months should feature lots of escapes from heaviness, including soaring flights and playful levity and lofty epiphanies.

grows wild in wetlands. Indigenous people ate the rootstock, stem, leaves, and flower spike. I propose that we use this scenario to serve as a metaphor for some of your potential opportunities in 2019. Things you’ve regarded as useless or irrelevant or inconvenient could be revealed as assets. Be alert for the possibility of such shifts. Here’s advice from Ralph Waldo Emerson: “What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The night parrots of Australia are so elusive that there was a nearly sixdecade stretch when no human saw a single member of the species. But in 2013, after searching for 15 years, photographer John Young spotted one and recorded a 17-second video. Since then, more sightings have occurred. According to my astrological vision, your life in 2019 will feature experiences akin to the story of the night parrot’s reappearance. A major riddle will be at least partially solved. Hidden beauty will materialize. Long-secret phenomena will no longer be secret. A missing link will re-emerge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Millions of years ago, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica, and North and South America were smooshed together. Earth had a single land mass, the supercontinent Pangea.

Stretching across its breadth was a colossal feature, the Central Pangean Mountains. Eventually, though, Europe and America split apart, making room for the Atlantic Ocean and dividing the Central Pangean range. Today the Scottish Highlands and the Appalachian Mountains are thousands of miles apart, but once upon a time they were joined. In 2019, Gemini, I propose that you look for metaphorical equivalents in your own life. What disparate parts of your world had the same origin? What elements that are now divided used to be together?

Re-establish their connection. Get them back in touch with each other. Be a specialist in cultivating unity.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The slow, gradual, incremental approach will be your magic strategy in 2019.

Being persistent and thorough as you take one step at a time will provide you with the power to accomplish wonders. Now and then, you may be tempted to seek dramatic breakthroughs or flashy leaps of faith; and there may indeed be one or two such events mixed in with your steady rhythms. But for the most part, your glory will come through tenacity. Now study this advice from mystic Meister Eckhart: “Wisdom consists in doing the next thing you have to do, doing it with your whole heart, and finding delight in doing it.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian polymath Piet Hein wrote a poem in which he named the central riddle of his existence. “A bit beyond perception’s reach, / I sometimes believe I see / That life is two locked boxes / Each containing the other’s key.” I propose that we adopt this scenario to symbolize one of the central riddles of your existence. I’ll go further and speculate that in 2019 one of those boxes will open as if through a magical fluke, without a need for the key.

This mysterious blessing won’t really be a magical fluke, but rather a stroke of well-deserved and hardearned luck that is the result of the work you’ve been doing to transform and improve yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): What themes and instruments do people least want to hear in a piece of music?

Composer Dave Solder determined that the worst song ever made would contain bagpipes, cowboy music, tubas, advertising jingles, operatic rapping, and children crooning about holidays. Then he collaborated with other musicians to record such a song.

With that as our inspiration, I that consistently encourage you to act out of love and advise you to be rigorous about embodying your joy rather than out of guilt and obligation. authentic self in 2019. Make sure you never lapse into merely imitating who you are or who you used to be.

He VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): “Most living things begin in the absence of light,” writes Virgo author Nancy Holder. “The vine is rooted in the earth; the fawn takes form in the womb of the doe.” I’ll remind you that your original gestation also took place in the dark. And I foresee a metaphorically comparable process unfolding for you in 2019. You’ll undergo an incubation period that may feel cloaked and mysterious. That’s just as it should be: the best possible circumstances for the vital new part of your life that will be growing. So be patient. You’ll see the tangible results in 2020.

wasn’t happy that the fledgling nation chose the bald eagle as its animal symbol. The supposedly majestic raptor is lazy, he wrote. It doesn’t hunt for its own food, but steals grub obtained by smaller birds of prey. Furthermore, bald eagles are cowardly, Franklin believed. Even sparrows may intimidate them. With that as our theme, Pisces, I invite you to select a proper creature to be your symbolic ally in 2019. Since you will be building a new system and establishing a fresh power base, you shouldn’t pick a critter that’s merely glamorous. Choose one that excites your ambition and animates your willpower.

LEGALS CITY OF SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO ORDINANCE NO. 2018-15 AN ORDINANCE GRANTING CYBER MESA COMPUTER SYSTEMS, INCORPORATED A NON- EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISE TO OPERATE A TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK WITHIN THE CITY OF SANTA FE; THE RIGHT TO USE CITY PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF- WAY TO PROVIDE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES WITHIN THE CITY; AND FIXING THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THEREOF. 11 BE IT ORDAINED BY THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF SANTA FE: Section 1. Legislative Findings. The governing body of the city of Santa Fe finds that: A. The granting of a franchise to Cyber Mesa Computer Systems, Inc. (“the Company”), is necessary for the access and use of public rights-of-way to provide telecommunications services within the city limits in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Ordinance and the Telecommunications in the Public Rights-of-Way Ordinance, Article 27-2 19 SFCC 1987 (“Article 27-2”). B. The granting of such a franchise permits competitively neutral and non-discriminatory access to the public rights-of-way for providers of telecommunications services; and allows the city to appropriately manage the public rights-of-way in order to minimize the impact and cost to the citizens of the placement of telecommunications facilities within the public rights-of-way. C. The granting of a franchise promotes competition among telecommunications services providers and encourages the universal availability of telecommunications services to residents and businesses of the city through the careful management of public rights-of-way. D. It is the intent of the city in the granting of the franchise to obtain fair and reasonable compensation for the use of public rights-of-way through the collection of fees and charges, and to minimize the congestion, inconvenience, visual impact, and other adverse effects on the public rights-of-way by Company’s commercial use of public rights-of-way. E. To the extent permitted by state and federal law, the granting of a franchise allows the city to exercise such other powers, as the city may have to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, ensure the continued quality of telecommunications services, and safeguard the rights of consumers who are residents of the city. F. In accordance with Article 27-2, Company submitted an application for a franchise on September 7, 2012. G. The city is authorized to grant one or more nonexclusive franchises for telecommunications services within the city. H. The city has reviewed Company’s application and has determined that granting a franchise in accordance with Article 27-2 is in the public interest and in the interest of the city and its residents. I. This franchise, as it relates to the city’s costs, maintenance, management, and necessary regulation of public rights-of-way, will assist in meeting the telecommunications related needs and interests of the community.

Section 2. Franchise Terms. In exchange for Company’s compliance with the terms of this Ordinance, the provisions of Article 27-2, and other applicable city codes, there is hereby granted by the city to Company permission to use public rights-of-way to provide telecommunications services. All terms of Article 27-2 shall control Company’s use of the public rights-of-way except as specifically set out in this Ordinance. A. Short Title; Purpose; Applicability. 1. This Ordinance shall be cited as the “Cyber Mesa Franchise Ordinance”. 2. The purpose of this Ordinance is to grant Company, the right, privilege, and authority to: a. Furnish and distribute telecommunications services in the city,

by means of its network, on, over, under, along and across public rights-of-way, now or hereafter included in the boundaries of the city as such boundaries now exist or may hereafter be extended; and b. Construct, purchase, acquire, locate, maintain, and extend into, within, and through the city, a telecommunications network for the period and upon the terms and conditions specified in this franchise comprised of all facilities and equipment used by Company to provide telecommunications services, including but not limited to “Backhaul Equipment” and “Wireless Communication Equipment.” This permission is not exclusive and does not prevent the city from issuing other franchises or authorizations or prevent the city itself from constructing or operating its own telecommunications network within the public rights-of-way, with or without a franchise. 3. This franchise applies to the placement of telecommunications facilities in the city’s public rights-of-way. B. Definitions. Bad Debt means any portion of a debt that is related to a sale of telecommunications at retail, for which gross charges are not otherwise deductible or excludable, that has become worthless or uncollectible as determined under applicable federal income tax standards.

Department means the department of public works. Gross Charge. 1. Includes all revenues derived directly or indirectly by a Provider from or in connection with the Telecommunications Services offered within the city through or by means of a Telecommunications Network within the city, exclusive of any Franchise Fee or tax passed through to consumers on behalf of governmental agencies, received by the Provider for services provided to customers through use of the Network. Gross Charge shall include any revenue received by a Provider or any Affiliate through any means that is intended to have the effect of evading the payment of compensation that would otherwise be paid to the city for Franchise Contract granted pursuant to this ordinance. 2. Gross Charge shall not include: a. proceeds from the sale of bonds, mortgages, or other evidence of indebtedness, securities, or stocks; or b. gross receipts taxes, bad debt write-offs, and customer credits; or c. revenue of any Affiliate or Provider from long distance service, commercial mobile radio service, cellular, personal communications service, other wireless communications service, or directory advertising.

Each of the above are not included in the definition of Gross Charge and, therefore, are not included in the calculation of any fee due under a Franchise. 3. Gross Charge shall not include the wholesale revenue of any Provider to the extent that the Person providing such wholesale revenue to the Provider pays to the city, pursuant to an agreement with the city, an annual Franchise Fee under § 27-2.5, or an amount equivalent thereto, calculated on the basis of such Person’s Gross Charge (as defined in this ordinance) from the provision of Telecommunications Service in the city.

Service Address means the location of telecommunications equipment from which tele-

communications services are originated or at which telecommunications services are received. If this location is not a defined location, as in the case of wireless telecommunications, paging systems, maritime systems, air-to-ground systems and the like, “service address” shall mean the location of the customer’s primary use of the telecommunications equipment as defined by the location in the city where bills are sent.

A Person owning or operating telecommunications facilities that merely pass through the city and such Person and facilities do not offer Telecommunications Service to subscribers within the city shall not be subject to this ordinance, provided that Person has received other appropriate authorization from the city to rent or occupy the Public Rights-of-Way. 2.
