Family demands answers for man killed by cops; DA says new process is more fair

or Rose Lopez, whose younger brother Anthony Benavidez was fatally shot by Santa Fe police officers Jeramie Bisagna and Luke Wakefield in July 2017, the question has taken too long to answer.

Did the officers commit a crime when they gunned down Benavidez in his apartment?

“I just want to know if anyone will hold these men responsible in my brother’s killing,” Lopez tells SFR. “I want to know what’s taken so long. I feel like it’s not being treated like a murder investigation—I feel like it’s just being treated as if he was a nobody, as if he was not even a person.”

Lopez says she’s heard nothing from an independent panel of district attorneys who are reviewing whether officers on the Santa Fe police SWAT team broke the law when they approached Benavidez’ apartment window, smashed it open, and then shot him dead.

Two DAs indirectly involved with the review say the long wait is part of an ongoing—and slow—statewide shift in the way prosecutors weigh the law when cops kill.

Over one year ago, on Jan. 12, 2018, New Mexico State Police investigating Santa Fe officers’ actions that day turned over their case file to 1st Judicial District Attorney Marco Serna. Then, Serna handed the files to 11th Judicial District Attorney Rick Tedrow, who is overseeing two panels of district attorneys reviewing four separate killings by police around the state.

SFR’s own review of some of those materials, including recorded audio from interviews by State Police of Bisagna and Wakefield, revealed officers admitted to serious missteps that led to Benavidez’ death.

Wakefield was wearing sunglasses, which he said made it hard to see into Benavidez’ dark room. He screamed, triggering Bisagna’s already heightened emotional state. Bisagna fired first, and then Wakefield. They fired a combined 17 shots at Benavidez, a man living with schizophrenia and experiencing a men-

tal health crisis.

Both officers have since been promoted at SFPD. Serna acknowledges that the lengthy review process can be painful for all parties involved.

“I understand any frustration with that, I sympathize with them,” he tells SFR. “That being said, I wanted to take this process out of the district attorney’s office, because we deal with these officers on a daily basis and there’s definitely a perceived conflict of interest.”

The Benavidez case represents the realization of a campaign promise by Serna to hand off potential prosecutions of cops to outside counsel. It is a change from the way district attorneys in Santa Fe used to do it, which was to put together an “investigative grand jury” to review officers’ conduct without having the power to indict them.

It’s more fair that way, Serna believes, but he didn’t anticipate it might take longer to complete.

“I don’t know if I anticipated it would take over a year [for district attorneys to review the case],” he tells SFR. “But I knew it would take a significant period of time, given the fact it would be on a volunteer basis. So, I wish it was sooner, yes, but I understand why it’s not.”

I just want to know if anyone will hold these men responsible in my brother’s killing.

-Rose Lopez

According to Tedrow, six DAs are currently reviewing four separate police shootings from the past year: the Benavidez case, one in the 2nd District (Bernalillo County) one in the 11th (McKinley/San Juan counties) and one in the 9th (Curry/Roosevelt).

NEWS

There are two panels, each made up of three DAs, and both panels are reviewing two separate instances where police killed someone. Tedrow could not recall all of the DAs’ names when he spoke with SFR, nor could he remember who was assigned to which case.

He says the two panels did not begin reviewing any of the cases until this past November because the DAs decided to review them all at the same time. The Benavidez case files, completed in January 2018 by State Police, were the first ones he received.

“What we did is have each district attorney with [a case] to review, I asked them to submit it so we could put it on our electronic case management where the panels could access it,” Tedrow tells SFR. “We did it all at once. We got all the information and put it out there for the panels so they could review it from their home areas.”

He did not offer a timeline for when a decision could be made in the Benavidez case. Serna tells SFR he would be the one to inform Santa Feans whenever he learns of a decision by the panel.

SFR asked all city councilors to comment on the length of time the review by the panel of DAs has taken. Most did not respond.

“I would like to see a conclusion on the investigations of this case, especially for the family of Anthony Benavidez to have some closure,” Councilor Renee Villarreal tells SFR by email. “Unfortunately, we are not privy to information about how the investigation is proceeding.”

Councilor Signe Lindell says councilors “would all like for investigations to be efficient and conclusive.” Councilor Peter Ives believes “you cannot judge an entire police force based on the actions of a limited number of officers.”

Rose Lopez says the end-of-year holidays without her brother were particularly hard for her and her three sons—Benavidez’ nephews—to endure.

“He was always here at my house [in Albuquerque], we did a lot together,” says Lopez, who describes Benavidez as outgoing and generous when he was alive. “He was very close with my kids.

The boys are having a hard time with this as well. On Halloween, he would come and pick them up and take them to haunted houses. That hasn’t happened in two years.”

Lopez quotes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to sum up her feelings on the lengthy review into the killing. “‘Justice too long delayed is justice denied,’” she says. “We want answers.”

DETAINED IN DUST Did Santa Fe County jail make people sick with botched shower renovations?

irst came gritty particle dust. Then came chemical fumes.

Then they came all at once.

Along with them came coughing, burning eyes, vomiting, headaches and dizziness.

People serving time at the Santa Fe County jail and who worked there in the spring of 2014 say they became ill as layers of toxic material piled up and infiltrated beds and offices while construction crews renovated bathrooms adjacent to cell blocks.

While two county employees got payoffs for their claims of injury, a lawsuit wending its way through federal court could be the first opportunity for prisoners to see some acknowledgement that officials should have done more to protect them from harm.

Court filings in the class action list 12 inmates who suffered similar symptoms. Many are still imprisoned; others have been released on probation or parole. Felipe Trujillo, also known as Sharkie, is on parole after his release from the state prison in Santa Fe. Another man, Philip Talachy, was one of many at the jail being held in a bed the county leases to outside agencies. Talachy is now free, and his Facebook profile indicates he once received mentorship through the YouthWorks Santa Fe program.

As the men sat in cells, rancid dust billowed through doors and vents. Some who worked alongside paid contractors but had no access to safety equipment reported inhaling the dust directly.

The dozen named plaintiffs in the case filed in March

SFREPORTER.COM

of 2017 are representative of 300 to 600 other prisoners who were exposed to the same dangers and could also benefit from a resolution in the case.

“This involves people trapped in cages who were being contaminated with dust and poison,” says Mark Donatelli, the lead attorney on the case. “You’d think a case like that would be settled relatively quickly. Why the county decided to go to this length in litigation, only they would know.”

Donatelli’s firm filed a 46page complaint on behalf of current and former inmates, arguing the avoidable dangers from the construction work inside the jail caused them harm.

In December, the litigation cleared a major hurdle after Albuquerque-based US Magistrate Judge Laura Fashing ordered the firm hired by the county to provide additional documents to attorneys handling the class action suit.

With the county signaling an unwillingness to settle, the sprawling matter appears headed toward a jury trial.

“I’m still having the same symptoms!”

The first request for medical attention Philip Talachy submitted to the Santa Fe County jail health staff in March 2014, less than a month into his incarceration, blames the shower renovations for his illness.

Construction workers “cleaned showers in unit,” Talachy, then 24 years old, wrote from his cell. As a result, Talachy noted, he had headaches, dizziness, and bouts of bloody mucus.

Talachy, who declined to be interviewed for the story, submitted his request after the contractor, an Albuquerque-based company

called Industrial Commercial Coatings, started to remove years' worth of paint, glue and mildew that had hardened to an intractable crust.

Despite suggestions from the county that the contractor use a water blaster to remove the gunk, ICC instead used a grinding blade to pulverize shower surfaces so that their concrete foundations were exposed, as disclosed by the company in court documents.

Then, the company says its workers applied a coating of a polyurea sealer containing isocyanate, a poisonous but common material meant to protect surfaces from erosion, to 19,000 square feet of jail bathroom surface area over the course of a few months.

Grievance forms Talachy filed with the county at the time and released as part of the lawsuit show health staff didn’t act on his complaints for four months, and his symptoms persisted.

Talachy submitted two requests for medical attention, in March and April. He finally saw a doctor in July. The next month, Talachy filed a grievance form to see another doctor for a second opinion.

The first doctor, he writes on Aug. 5, told him he had a sinus infection, but the medication the doctor prescribed was ineffective, and Talachy hoped to see another physician for a second opinion.

A month later, Talachy submitted another complaint in which he wrote, “I’m still having the same symptoms!” and reiterated his request to see another doctor.

Officials tell SFR they can’t talk about the case or respond to allegations, and contract attorneys with the Modrall Sperling Law Firm are representing

discrimination inmates face.

“The dust and isocyanate vapors entered the vents” Individual statements provided to the federal court by 12 inmates who were held in Santa Fe County at some point between February and July 2014 allege that people housed in all four cell blocks suffered the same symptoms from the two waves of renovation.

“During the renovation process, a cloud of construction demolition dust permeated the pod living environment and settled on surfaces within the pod,” the complaint alleges, noting later, “when the [polyurea] sealer was sprayed, a strong odor of chemicals remained for a long time.”

The suit frames the renovation as a process in which captive inmates, some with jobs as porters assisting in the re-installation of shower doors and other fixtures, worked and lived in suffocating conditions.

In the county’s invitation for a bid on the project in October 2013, it acknowledges the potential for dust generated by the first phase of renovation to disturb inmates’ living quarters.

“All areas to be cleared of existing paint, glue or mildew using water abrasive blasting equipment with self-containment, such as a Geoblaster, to ensure that dust and mildew particles due not [sic] inhibit the living conditions of the residents,” the bid reads.

But after the county awarded the contract to ICC and agreed to pay $307,160.62 for the job, the company instead used a “7inch grinder with diamond blade wheel” to remove surfaces in 50 shower stalls, court documents say. According to inmate and county employee accounts, this created an ever-present cloud.

Donatelli, who has been suing over jail and prison conditions since the 1970s and represented prisoner interests in the Duran consent decree, says it’s unusual the county appears not to have made arrangements to move inmates to areas where they weren’t exposed to the dust— particularly since about 200 beds remained empty at the time, according to the county’s

the government in court. Mark Gallegos, the warden from mid2012 to the end of 2015, is also a defendant in the lawsuit. SFR was unable to reach Gallegos, who is on military leave from his job as detention administrator of the adult and juvenile detention centers in Clovis.

A separate lawsuit filed by two former jail caseworkers who say they were sickened by the shower renovations alleges Gallegos retaliated against them for voicing their concerns. The matter was settled in August for $50,000, split in half between the workers.

The cases place Santa Fe among other states in which a growing awareness of prison toxicity is sparking litigation and reporting on the subject.

Courts have ruled against jail handlers elsewhere for creating toxic environments, including in Texas, where a federal judge condemned prison officials at one sweltering jail for providing only drinking water with high levels of arsenic.

In Pennsylvania, where inmates and workers at a state prison sitting atop a coal-ash dump have grown ill and died, the state’s ACLU chapter is suing to close the lockup and move inmates elsewhere. And in Kentucky, a lawsuit filed to stop the construction of a $444 million federal prison planned on a former coal mine is drawing attention to environmental

own numbers.

“In my experience, in any significant renovation prisoners are evacuated. Even when they paint, [the inmates] are not forced to sleep in the cell,” he tells SFR. “It’s just basic mismanagement.”

In the absence of self-contained blasting equipment, the complaint alleges that inmates were tasked with “placing a strip of tape across the bottom of each cell door in preparation for the demolition.” These efforts did not prevent dust from piling up under cell doors or seeping

through ceiling vents.

An earlier lawsuit, filed by a different attorney for former jail caseworkers Matthew De Lora and Michael Lepic in state District Court in 2016, similarly alleges that inmates were given tape to keep out the dust. At various points, both complaints say, the dust was so thick it was hard to see. A photo from inside the “Alpha” cell block, taken by a corrections staff member during that time, appears to show dust covering surfaces like snow.

Contract workers at the jail were outfitted with profession-

al-quality face shields, leather work gloves and coveralls, goggles, safety glasses and dust masks throughout the project.

In contrast, both the inmate lawsuit and the one filed by the former jail caseworkers say they got next to nothing by way of protective gear; some porters say they were given only “cheap sunglasses.”

The jail’s ventilation system also spread both the dust and the fumes throughout the building, according to both lawsuits.

“Consequently, both the massive amounts of dust generated by the grinding process and the toxic fumes created by the isocyanate-containing sealant were circulated into inmates’ cells throughout the facility,” the inmate complaint reads.

The fumes even reportedly seeped into rooms that were unconnected with the jail’s cell blocks.

DETAINED IN DUST significant discovery matters in this litigation.”

SFR also could not convince any of the plaintiffs to go on the record. Some cited advice from their attorneys in refusing. Others did not respond to inquiries.

The court warned that future failures by plaintiffs to participate in discovery could result in sanctions against them, including dismissal of their claims.

Donatelli says his legal team has even hired private investigators just to keep track of his clients’ whereabouts—but he says the scale of the offense makes the case worth pursuing.

“The jail is too big,” says Donatelli, whose firm is suing the county for medical neglect at the jail in at least two other cases.

The Delta cells blocks of the jail are structured like a dormitory. A class action lawsuit filed by inmates says the entire building was contaminated by toxic dust and fumes.

“Millions” of pages The nearly two-year-old litigation has been slow moving.

Last year, the county sought to dismiss claims from at least three defendants who did not appear at scheduled depositions—an action that, had it been successful, would have undermined the class action status of the case.

In a ruling from last November denying the motion, a chief US district judge wrote that seven of the 12 named plaintiffs were still incarcerated, and of the five who weren’t, the county alleged each “failed in one respect or another to participate in

“It’d be better to shut it down, get rid of the rent beds [leased by the county to other jurisdictions], and keep the administrative staff.”

Another challenge has been the sheer volume of records stored at the county which may factor into the case. While the county’s attorneys have argued that the paper chase is burdensome, those arguments haven’t persuaded the court.

The county claimed that in order to account for all the people who were held at the jail during the renovation project, the government would have to create a master list of hundreds, if not thousands, of records, since the average length of stay is just nine days.

“Depending on the total number of inmates who were housed at ADF at any time and for any length of time between February 17, 2014 and July 15, 2014, the number of pages to be manually reviewed could easily reach into the millions,” county attorneys wrote in one filing.

So too has the contractor, ICC, been reluctant to produce discovery material that could be relevant in a jury trial.

In response to Donatelli’s request, the contractor provided limited information about ventilation equipment used by its employees during the renovation, the use of the grinders, the manufacturer of the polyurea product and other solvents and materials, and protective mate-

rials used by contractor workers.

ICC claimed it could not locate any emails from either the company’s owner, Chris Perea, nor the company foreman on the project, Ron Lucero, that mentioned the shower job. On Christmas Eve, Judge Laura Fashing ruled that ICC must disclose those materials to the plaintiff.

the opposite end of the prison cells.

“I have never experienced tear gas, but in my mind’s eye, it’s what I thought tear gas would feel like breathing,” says Cron, who is not involved in the litigation but could be called as a witness at trial. “I’m a really healthy person, and I have no lung issue, and I had no lung issues at the time.”

Cron tells SFR he suffered no long-term health effects from his limited exposure. For inmates who were exposed to the fumes around the clock, particularly those who were in solitary confinement, the answer is likely different: The CDC says sustained exposure to drywall dust, an approximate comparison to the mildewy shower wall dust, causes a lifetime of respiratory issues. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration defines the sealant material as hazardous, and respiratory infections are a common side effect of constant exposure.

“They were exposed 24/7” For all the back and forth, the outcome of the separate suit filed in 2016 by jail caseworkers Lepic and De Lora make it difficult to believe that nobody got sick from the renovations.

That lawsuit says the two complained to their supervisors that particulate dust from the air was unsafe for corrections staff and inmates. Nothing was done, and additional complaints resulted in both of them being transferred from their case manager roles to the booking room— one of the least desirable jobs at the jail. Neither were given protective gear.

Lepic died in March 2017.

His obituary doesn’t state the cause, and his family members wouldn’t speculate about whether they thought the shower renovations had anything to do with it. His former attorney, Philip Davis, says the case lost momentum after it was transferred over to his grieving wife, Karen Lepic.

The lawsuit Lepic filed says the grueling work schedule on the booking floor, an assignment Lepic said he received in retaliation for complaining, may have contributed to his deteriorating health.

“He was so upset no one cared about him,” says Pekabo Men-

According to two lawsuits filed by inmates and jail caseworkers, people inside the Santa Fe County jail experienced respiratory and digestive sickness after a renovation crew began to replace shower surfaces in 2014. Lawyers for inmates allege the jail’s ventilation system dispersed a toxic cloud throughout the jail, affecting hundreds.

GRINDING AWAY SHOWER SURFACES

A renovation crew from Industrial Commercial Coatings used a metal grinder to remove shower surfaces at the jail. This created a cloud of dust made up of pulverized shower surfaces and any other materials stuck to it, including mildew, glue, paint, mold and bacteria. The CDC says sustained exposure to drywall dust, an approximate comparison to the mildewy shower wall dust, causes a lifetime of respiratory issues.

2.

After grinding away the top layer, workers then applied a polyurea sealer containing isocyanate, a poisonous but common material meant to protect surfaces from erosion. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, health effects of isocyanate exposure include irritation of skin, eyes and mucous membranes, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. Isocyanates include compounds classified as potential human carcinogens and known to cause cancer in animals.

TOXIC DUST AND FUMES SPREAD

BY JAIL VENTS

Attorneys representing a class of inmates say that a potent combination of dust and sealant seeped into the jail’s vents and was dispersed throughout the entire facility. Jail staff reported breathing in the fumes in the booking room, and one lawyer said he inhaled the fumes in a room on the opposite side of the building from inmates’ cells.

SPRAYING A SEALANT

"Take it through to conclusion" Institutional barriers to redress, from long and cumbersome grievance processes to the difficulty of getting a large class of harmed former inmates to participate in litigation, have kept the full extent of toxic exposure in prisons unknown.

Panagioti Tsolkas, an organizer with the Fight Toxic Prisons activist group, says there are many reasons incarcerated people don’t try to seek justice through formal channels.

“One obstacle is a lot of people who file lawsuits or who are named in lawsuits end up facing retaliation, solitary, using their good time or brutal abuse and violence against them,” Tsolkas tells SFR. Fight Toxic Prisons is mainly based around a campaign supporting a lawsuit filed against the US Bureau of Prisons over a prison planned for Letcher County, Kentucky, with at least 1,200 beds. An associated group, the Abolitionist Law Center—made up of lawyers who want to abolish mass imprisonment—filed the suit.

That complaint argues that a prison built on a mountaintop coal mine in rural Appalachia will present a public health risk to people who live there and drink the groundwater, pointing to peer-reviewed articles that found rates of cancer and birth defects to be higher near mountaintop mining sites.

The inmate plaintiffs are 21 federal prisoners in the MidAtlantic region who are likely to be transferred to the new prison if it is built. The suit alleges, among other

te, Lepic’s daughter. “But mostly about the inmates because they couldn’t go home, you know; they were exposed 24/7.”

The federal government declared him disabled in late 2015, and Lepic took disability retirement through PERA in 2016.

SFR’s attempts to reach his wife Karen, who settled in his name, were not successful. Multiple phone calls and messages from SFR to Matthew De Lora went unanswered.

Davis, his former attorney, says De Lora was similarly upset that his treatment by the county got little attention and in the end yielded a relatively low sum of $25,000.

“He wanted to move on with his life,” Davis tells SFR.

HOW SHOWER RENOVATIONS POLLUTED A JAIL

Michael Lepic, a caseworker at the jail, sued the county after he alleged his superiors did nothing to limit his exposure to toxic fumes. He died in March 2017, although there is no public evidence that jail conditions led to his death.

claims, that the federal agency conducted an environmental analysis of the planned facility in a skewed way “that would promote the construction of a new” penitentiary.

While the circumstances are different, Tsolkas draws a comparison between the Santa Fe lawsuit and the one based in Kentucky.

Unlike the local case, Tsolkas and others have been able to keep in touch with inmate plaintiffs through political organizing.

“The lawsuit we filed on behalf of prisoners was sort of similar; it was prisoners saying they don’t deserve to be subjected to these conditions,” Tsolkas tells SFR. “In our case, it’s anticipating the conditions, the impacts from construction in an area where coal mining is occurring and continues to occur on adjacent land. But it’s a similar position.”

Without organizers assisting with the shower renovation suit against Santa Fe County, lawyers have had a tougher time keeping track of complainants. Donatelli claims this won’t dissuade him from dropping the case.

“We don’t take on a case unless we’re prepared to take it through conclusion, whether it’s a hearing before the judge or a jury trial,” he tells SFR. In the first days of 2019, lawyers for the county filed motions indicating they were continuing to collect depositions from witnesses in the case. Judge Fashing set a status conference via telephone for March 21. A trial date has not been set.

Chicks Climbing and Skiing celebrates 20 years of teaching women to climb ice and rock

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

O

uray, Colorado, already sits in a box canyon, with walls that climb hundreds of feet vertically from just a few blocks off Main Street. Along an even deeper incision in the canyon, piping and sprinklers have been installed to pour water down the rock walls and “farm ice.” At the top, bolted hangars are ready to take climbing anchors and ropes, which ice climbers can then use to lower to the cliff bottoms and ascend the frozen rivulets, sinking ice tools and crampons into ice sometimes feet thick. Between the boosts to safety offered by the fixed gear and the curated conditions, the Ouray Ice Park is one of the best places in the region to learn to ice climb.

Twenty years ago, Kim Reynolds came to the park and noticed that men were the ones setting up anchors and top ropes, while women stood around.

“She wanted to change that,” says Kitty Calhoun, who was among the first guides hired when Reynolds launched Chicks with Picks, ice climbing clinics just for women, led by women. The company has since rebranded to Chicks Climbing and Skiing as its courses have grown beyond just ice climbing. “She wanted to help women become self-sufficient, independent climbers,” Calhoun continues.

Calhoun worked almost every clinic until buying the business from Reynolds nearly four years ago, and she’s developed an incisive opinion for why these

chicks-only programs work best for women.

“They hold back when they’re with male partners,” she says. “They’re worried about taking up too much time or asking questions or how they might appear. And so the thing is, with all women’s groups, women tend to learn faster because they’re less intimidated to ask questions. And the way you learn the most quickly, I’ve found, is by asking questions.”

Chicks Climbing and Skiing will celebrate 20 years of encouraging women to take charge outdoors during the Ouray Ice FesKitty Calhoun, shown tival Jan. 24-27. The event will here on a first ascent include a performance by Bibi in Iceland, has been McGill from Beyonce’s backing teaching women how to be bold, indepenband, premiere screening of the dent ice climbers for film 20/20, produced by Zach 20 years as a Chicks Wolfson, on female mountainwith Picks guide. eers, and a panel discussion on women outdoors moderated by Alison Osius, executive director of Rock as climbers and skiers, how you face ad& Ice. Panelists include climber Steph versity and challenges, and what you take Davis, known for base jumping from the away from it,” Calhoun says.

Panelists’ resumes are varied, but they top of towers she’s just climbed unroped; Hilaree Nelson, who just became one of share a common ground that’s appeared the first skiers to descend Lhotse, the among female outdoor athletes for a cenfourth-highest mountain on the planet; tury.

“There’s some history of, at least and Caroline Gleich, a ski mountaineer women alpinists, using their sport or and social and climate justice advocate.

“What this film is about, and what I the attention they’ve gotten from their think the panel discussion will have time sport as a platform to speak about greater to explore more, is not just as women, but issues,” Calhoun says.

When Annie Peck climbed to 21,000 feet in the Andes in 1911, she waved the suffragist flag from the summit. Now, female athletes use the attention they draw to direct some eyes toward other causes: sexual harassment outdoors, for example, or the environmental crisis that is climate change, which stands to impair coming generations’ options to climb, ski and mountaineer.

For Calhoun, that message has come in form of a slide show and TED Talk she’s given about “last ascents”—mountaineering routes climate change may have erased. The first on that list was Mount Kenya, which she climbed in 2005 by the Diamond Couloir, which was once considered one of the world’s greatest ice climbs—but has frozen with less and less frequency as the planet has warmed.

“I feel like, as an alpinist, we’re like a canary in the coal mine,” she says. Of the other panelists, she adds, “It’s an inspiration to hear their stories and how they’re taking that position to give back and for a greater good for the rest of our community and society.

There’s certain empowerment that comes from these sports, and when you are able to translate that to everyday life, then it’s for the good of all of us.”

Chicks Climbing and Skiing’s 20th anniversary party will be held during the Ouray Ice Festival on Jan. 25. Details at chickswithpicks.net.

BRING OUT THE MEXICAN IN YOU A lot has happened on the US-Mexico border since last January’s production of Atravesada, a theatrical-poetical exploration of borderlands both geographical and internal—so bringing it back for an encore run feels appropriate and poignant. Creator and director Alix Hudson’s series of 37 acted-out and recited poems from writers like Sandra Cisneros, Valerie Martínez and Gloria Anzaldúa was so awesome last year (Acting Out, Jan. 17, 2018: “Sangre y Sueños”). “It’s a counterpoint to all the horror and attention at the border, because this show is so positive in so may ways,” Hudson says of the literary celebration full of beautiful wordplay, seduction and humor. “It’s joyful putting it on, which feels political within itself.” (Charlotte Jusinski)

COURTESY HEATHER HOEKSEMA

MUSIC MON/21 IF YOU BUILD IT When you read that singer Heather Hoeksema tunes her guitar “in the frequency of 432 aligned with note A, considered a grounding sound aligned with natural Phi mathematics,” it sounds a little intense. But don’t be scared—give one listen to her new album, Rode Show, which she releases with a grand party this week to kick off her Full Moon Tour. You’ll see the ideas of universal harmony and conscious living played out in accessible indie folky jazz and totally relatable lyrics telling of love, loss and whatever happens in between. The Playhouse is the perfect intimate venue for the kind of music you need to lean into, with a sound stripped-down and simple—which is probably in part due to Hoeksema’s voice, but with no small nod to 432 hertz, the tuning fork of the cosmos. (CJ) Heather Hoeksema: 7 pm Monday Jan. 21. $20-$40. Santa Fe Playhouse, 142 E De Vargas St., 988-4262.

Like, we’re not trying to oversell it here or anything, but the death-defying stunts and routines honed by these acrobats are almost never short of completely astounding. Oh, and they’re usually quite fun, too. Take the Golden Dragon Acrobats, a troupe from China that culls from over 25 centuries of tradition—yes, centuries. Given the artistry and tradition at play with a timeline that long, you just know it’s going to be mind-boggling. Trust us—this one’s worth it. (ADV) Golden Dragon Acrobats: 7 pm Tuesday Jan. 22. $29-$47. Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco St., 988-1234.

MUSIC FRI/18

Polyphonic Spree Peter Pesic’s classical lunchtime “I’ve been doing these lunchtime concerts for 25 years,” Peter Pesic says by phone of his regular piano gig at St. John’s College.

Pesic taught there for over three decades, heads up the Science Institute and enjoys a musician-in-residence position with performances roughly every other month.

For this upcoming installment, he’ll get into select pieces by Bach, Stravinsky and Chopin.

“It’s something I’ve enjoyed doing,” he continues, “because it gives people a chance to hear [classical] music in an informal way—they can take a break, eat their lunch—and for years I’ve been playing through composers, partly for my own education, partly to share with people.”

Pesic perhaps looks at music differently than most. A diehard fan of the concept of polyphony—that is, the coming-together of disparate musical parts to create one harmonious and cohesive whole— he literally wrote the book on how our brains consume and understand grouped musical compositions. 2017’s Polyphonic Minds from the MIT Press is a fascinating retelling of hundreds of years of musical history, from Gregorian chants to groundbreaking medieval developments in polyphony through the present. But rather than merely point out the many facets through which polyphonic music affects our brains, he ties it into the concepts of

history and neuroscience; in other words, how our brains interpret polyphony is actually a very apt metaphor for our overall thought processes—compartmentalization, emotional response, faith, understanding … all of it.

“Most of the music we hear has several different kinds of sounds going at once, and what I was doing in the book was talking about how that came about, how people started doing it, what that means and especially its connection with understanding the mind itself,” Pesic tells SFR. “These neurons, they’re not disorganized; they have structures that people are just beginning to understand, and somehow all of them produce you or me, our consciousness, our awareness; and that’s an extraordinary thing.”

Pesic believes there’s something special about enjoying classical music live in a way one won’t get from recorded compositions, but that the events are as much for him as audiences.

“Part of the joy is that it changes all the time,” he says of a live interpretation. “This is a great opportunity.” (Alex De Vore) PETER PESIC: BACH, STRAVINSKY AND CHOPIN 12:10 pm Friday Jan. 18.

Jason Reed runs the recording show up at Frogville Studios.

On The Record Some brief tips on why you need to record your music and how to get started

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

T

he cold doesn’t do anything to reduce Santa Feans’ drive to go out to a good show, nor artists’ drive to kit their gear out for a night of snowed-in tunes. For some of us, though, it can be a time of hibernation—and that can be a really good thing. Sick of going outside? Now is the perfect time of year to hunker down and record your band, solo act, ambient installation or anything else you can dream up.

But first of all, why record? There are a lot of people booking fresh talent in town, and a lot of them will put you on a bill even if you can’t send them a sample of your music. However, the odds are weighed heavily in your favor for a quick response if you can send even just a demo featuring a couple of your tracks.

It gives a booker an idea of who you are, what you’re trying to do and also helps create more cohesive concert lineups.

Describing your sound is one thing, but people want to hear what you have to offer. On top of bookers, it helps potential audience members. A bona fide sample of your music goes a long way to encourage people to come see you play.

You’re no longer just “some band” when someone asks their friend who is playing tonight. Now you’re “some band” that can be heard. You know how people like to look at a new restaurant’s menu online before they decide to go in and try it? Same principle.

But how, you ask? While the number of ways in which the digital age has destroyed the music industry are many, the accessibility to recording studios or home recording has increased. Santa Fe has several capably staffed and wellequipped studios. The Kitchen Sink (thekitchensinkstudio.com) has all the gear you could ever need and a huge live room, not to mention award-winning engineers. A full day in the studio is only $600 (hourly rates run $80). If you spend the time to practice your material—and I mean to the point that you can nail it in less than four takes—that $600 could be the entire cost of your recording.

Metal-centric studio The Decibel Foundry (decibelfoundry.com) is for artists leaning toward the heavier side

of things. That’ll cost you anywhere between $65 per hour to $600 per day, but there are other rates to be found in between, says owner Augustine Ortiz.

Frogville Studio (frogvillestudio. com) is still going strong with flexible pricing for those who need it. You’ll be looking at around $80 hourly and $500 per day, but engineer Jason Reed says you can call or text him at 795-3764 for more options.

Lastly, there’s Kabby Sound Studios (kabbysound.com), a local operation that does so many kinds of recording work it’s hard to nail down specific rates.

Visit the site or give owner Kabby Kabakoff a call at 818-621-4051 for more info.

Did you already record your bedroom pop masterpiece? Any of these studios can help you master them—a step that might seem mystical at first but is definitely crucial to a finished product.

Speaking of bedroom pop, you can go that route with home recording. While you’re saving money in the long run, the equipment to DIY it does have a similar up-front cost to studio time—the difference being that it is a one-time cost if you take care of your stuff. If you have absolutely no idea where to start, head to mainstay The Candyman Strings and Things (851 St. Michael’s Drive, 983-5906; candymansf.com). The staff

will know exactly what you need for your project—usually not much more than an audio interface and a microphone or two. From there, all you need is a computer (or a friend with one) and you’re off to the races. Home recording has a steep learning curve from the get-go, but ultimately it’s perfectly adequate for laying a solid foundation for your music and even the demos you can track using contemporary software (some of which is entirely free, like GarageBand, and many have pretty decent sound quality).

It is daunting. I get it. And times are tough; not everyone has access to these tools. But another thing you can find in Santa Fe is friends. If you go to shows, meet new people, and find the ones who love music the way you love music, you will find a way to start recording. Someone has a microphone collecting dust in their closet or can lend you a bass guitar or can teach you how to get clean, balanced recordings on whatever format works for you. Someone out there wants to start jamming with you. There is no force field between you and committing your ideas to tape (or .wav file).

The most common stumbling block in any musician’s way is doubt. So, trust me, you want to record your songs—and you deserve to. And you’ll find people that want to hear them.

Art of Darkness

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

A

t some point during his illustrious career, the painter James Abbott McNeill Whistler began classifying his works with music terminology. Some pieces became known as “arrangements,� others became “harmonies,� but the term that has perhaps had the most enduring impact on the visual arts has been “nocturne.�

Countless artists after Whistler have borrowed the classification. Think twilight paintings and imagery cast in darkness, a stripped-down palette meant to convey absence of light. It’s an evocative time of day for artists to capture, and one that is at turns haunting or unexpected—painting, after all, is more generally concerned with the quality of the light. Why, then, do nocturnes and their focus on the lack thereof enjoy such a noteworthy position in the pantheon of artistry?

A pair of current exhibits at the New Mexico Museum of Art might help answer that. “The Southwest is so often stereotyped as being this place all about light,� the museum’s curator of 20th century art, Christian Waguespack, tells SFR. “But we’ve got this particular kind of darkness. Being in a city where you can see the stars is a big deal, and I found myself paying attention [to nocturnes] when I came across some in the museum’s collection— we actually have a fantastic survey of this work.�

Waguespack’s contribution comes in the form of Wait Until Dark, a scintillating gathering culled from the museum’s collection that shows alongside the photographic exhibit Shots in the Dark, curated

by Katherine Ware. In Waguespack’s show, one finds anything from the New Mexico famous like Will Shuster and Gene Kloss to unexpected woodcuts by Gustave Baumann.

Rarely seen Georgia O’Keeffe nighttime studies of Lake George hang alongside more recent pieces

by Fritz Scholder or Bobbe Besold; a post-impressionist seascape by Hayley Lever launches a thousand impressions with its borderline ghostly portrayal of distant light dancing on the waves. And we’ve only just scratched the surface of what’s on display.

Thematically, many pieces touch upon the ritualistic, with flickering flames casting shadows

COURTESY NEW MEXICO MUSEUM OF ART

The New Mexico Museum of Art and the oldest story of all

from mysterious figures or throngs descending upon a pueblo. It seems there is a certain inescapable darkness of mood associated with such nocturnes, and a feeling of emptiness pervades much of the exhibit. This is almost certainly the point, however: mood and challenge. “Painting in the dark is a really difficult thing to do,� Waguespack explains. “If you think about it, we’re daytime animals. The dark changes our senses, how we feel—

ABOVE: “October Night� by Gustave Baumann.

LEFT: “Untitled (Red Tree and Adobe House)�

by Victor Higgins.

we’ve been conditioned to think of it like a mystery.�

Waguespack hopes to further explore these concepts with a talk this week, “Nocturnes in Art.� He says he’s still putting together the finishing touches, but in broad strokes he’ll begin somewhere around the cave paintings of Lascaux— Waguespack says the painters of Lascaux were deliberately searching out the darkness of a cave—then wind through Rembrandt’s darker period, make a stop with Goya and the implications of encroaching blindness and visual impairments for artists (what’s up, O’Keeffe?) and talk about the genesis of the term “nocturne.�

Waguespack says he envisions even more content in the lecture as well (Darth Vader, we hear, may make an appearance). It should prove a fascinating look at the show itself as well as the overarching world of artists who create from darkness, an interesting entry in the oldest story of all time: light versus the dark. Though rather than frame it like a rivalry, Waguespack says he hopes to alter our perceptions on the matter. “No one in their right mind is saying, ‘I’m curating an exhibit about art in the daytime,’â€? he says wryly. “I think of nocturnes more like a genre, something like still lifes; this persistent string throughout art history that has been academic, but also very experimental. Today ‌ you still have artists like Joel-Peter Witkin doing something new with them, but darkness has always been with us.â€?

HOW TO ___ LIKE A

HUMAN

BEING:

BY ALEX DE VORE

VISIT THE LIBRARY A funny thing happened while I was at the LaFarge Branch of the Santa Fe Public Library recently—the people inside were practically screaming at each other across the room.

“In the end, did you ever read Game of Thrones?!” one faceless voice shrieked. “No!” shouted the other, “I watch the show, though.”

This felt ... wrong. I’m aware I don’t run the library, I’m aware that the times they have been a-changing, but it still seemed to me that those most free of all book depositories ought to remain a bastion of satisfying whispers and politeness; the words and pages deign it!

So, rather than opting to fly off the handle, I reached out to some sources who work for the libraries. They’ll remain anonymous (as always in this column), but they sure are helpful.

You get shushed; you never do the shushing This one pretty much shuts me up right away, but you probably never stopped to think that the librarians working hard to help people track down whatever tome are sometimes helping hard-of-hearing patrons. What about a bad phone connection? What about someone who’s just plain super-excited over books? It’s been an unspoken rule of society that the people who are working places have every right to do what they must to complete their tasks—don’t you dare shush the librarian; the librarian shushes you!

Stick to the bathrooms Can’t even believe this needs to be said, but don’t pee on the furniture at the library. Apparently this happens enough that it’s a real issue.

Yikes. Even worse? One source said that they “won’t even tell you the poop stories.”

You don’t own the library If you’re one of those semantic types who uses “But my tax dollars!” as your excuse to act like you have some sort of power in a

space like the library, you might wanna skip this one. But here’s the cold, hard truth: You don’t own the library. Keep this in mind if you think of approaching staff to ask they remove someone from the premises. If no rules are broken, it’s a space for all. And if you’re asking a librarian to kick someone out because they’re homeless and maybe don’t have access to the same level of resources or hygienic products as those with homes, then that really says a lot more about you as a person, huh? Libraries are one of the great societal levelers—a warm location with the vastness of human knowledge available to all for free.

If you can’t hang with others while taking part in that, maybe Amazon is more your speed, jerk.

The librarian is not your secretary The way we hear it, some library patrons will approach the front desk, hand a list to a staffer and then say something like “Please handle these things while I peruse your book selection.” Further, we’re told these lists sometimes contain questions about legal advice, about how phones work or how to apply for jobs and apartments. Again, the library is a wonderful and free resource, but the reference desk is not exactly a one-stop-shop for any question you might have about anything. That’s what Google is for. If you have book questions, however...

Don’t shit on the librarian’s skillz (yes, with a Z) Our sources tell us that patrons are often personally offended when the library doesn’t have whatever thing popped into their heads. Ditto for equipment or programs these patrons find lacking. Do they chalk this up to this being Santa Fe, where everything is a few years behind the times? Do they maybe stop to think that libraries are ultimately low on the funding list? Apparently not!

Instead, we’re told, these people will take this to mean the librarians are skill-less idiots who don’t deserve to work there. These people are doing what they can with what they have and, in most cases, they’re working with very little. Be nice to them, especially when searching for assistance.

with Ira Gordon

COURTESY IRA GORDON

For the last 45 years—11 of them at Santa Fe’s Hutton Broadcasting and KBAC as DJ and program director—Ira Gordon lit up the radio waves with his smooth voice and impeccable music tastes. But now Gordon’s ready to take some time and pursue new directions and opportunities.

We spoke with Gordon before his tenure at Hutton winds down at the end of the month. (Alex De Vore) I think the main question on everyone’s minds is, where the hell do you think you’re going?

Ha! I’m not sure yet, but I’m not retiring. I made a joke at my going-away party last week that I’ve been working on a 90-minute set of self-penned Edwardian poetry that’ll horrify everyone. That’s a joke, but I’ve got two books in me, and I don’t even care if they ever get published—I just want to get them out of my head. I have a house here, I’ll live here, and I’ve got two sheds worth of vinyl and CDs I want to sell off. I’ll stay in Santa Fe, as far as I know. There is a possibility I may be offered a gig in Colorado, but if that comes about, that’ll be in the next couple months.

We’ve all assumed a sort of death of radio now and then, but it has seemed so viable in the last few years. Your thoughts?

For a while there, when satellite radio came in, with Pandora and Spotify and the fact you can hear anything you want on YouTube, people were and are creating their own stations. But in the major markets where they’re playing the same top 40 again and again, and you move up and down the dial and 30 stations do the same thing, I can understand why people thought that. The interesting thing about KBAC is that we’re so different from the other radio stations—and I’ll leave public radio out because they satisfy their listeners. There’s still an audience out there that wants to be turned on to new music; their taste in music is beyond 20 songs and two genres, and we can be the curator for that. The second thing we do well, and it’s always been a priority of mine, is to support the nonprofits. The local music scene, I think, would be number three, and I’m thankful I don’t have a consultant here saying that we don’t wanna hear local music on the radio. If you can help a struggling musician by getting the tunes on the radio, you should do it. It fosters the whole community. I have a tendency to believe the major market stations will be struggling, but we’ve never struggled because the community got behind us.

Any parting words for Santa Fe, your audience, everyone?

I just love the support we’ve gotten here. When I was driving to my going-away party, I felt like I was driving to my own execution. But something I said there was when people used to ask me what I did for living, I’d joke and say I get paid to sit in a room and talk to myself for four hours—but when you look out and see the lives you’ve changed, the people who have supported you through thick and thin, you realize that’s not true.

Vinaigrette You’ll also find delicious non-salad items such as the mushroom stew and kale nachos but, for the more hungry, Vinaigrette throws down great sandwiches like the Cuban torta ($13.50) and the hot turkey and Reuben ($12.75 apiece). Round things out with house-made desserts like the fudgy flourless chocolate cake served with whipped cream or a slice of carrot cake ($6 each), an item our companion described as “the best carrot cake I’ve ever had.” (Alex De Vore) 709 Don Cubero Alley, 505-820-9205 Lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday vinaigretteonline.com

JOY GODFREY

Most diners go for salads only when they’re on a health kick, but Santa Fe-born Vinaigrette turned that idea upside down with a commitment to freshly grown ingredients and entreesized salads that actually fill you up and leave you satisfied. The creation of one Erin Wade, Vinaigrette takes advantage of its own proprietary farm to create classics such as Caesar ($11) and Cobb salads ($11.75), as well as more complex and delicious options such as the Omega with kale, corn and pine nuts ($12.25), and the Asian chopped with red bell pepper, shredded carrots, cilantro and a healthy serving of crispy cold noodles on top ($11.25).

G N I M O C N O SO Show your love!

Alicia’s Tortilleria As a Midtown tortilla factory, Alicia’s Tortilleria is tops. As a taqueria with some of the best burritos, chips and chile around—served up, of course, with its own tortillas—it’s even better.

This could be owners Alicia and Jorge Lovoya’s commitment to authentic New Mexican and Mexican dishes, many of which they learned in their native Chihuahua, Mexico, or it could just be because it’s harder than you’d think to find a straightforward taqueria in Santa Fe. Either way, our top recommendations go to the chile relleno burrito and the bean and cheese burrito with green chile. Both are good options for vegetarians. But with other choices such as the chile colorado con carne or the pork

lover’s barbacoa, carnivores can find a lot to love, too. Even better? All burritos are just $4.50. You’ll also find Mexican standbys like flautas and tostadas as well as a diverse range of tortas with chicken, ham and beyond ($7). These are served with fried potatoes, natch, but we suggest picking up a half-pound of the fresh, thick and warm tortilla chips and going to town on the housemade guacamole. It’s a little creamier than you’re probably used to, but no less delicious. It’s important to support corner burrito joints, both for the sake of our wallets and our stomachs. (ADV)

Modern Taco

A new take on the “sandwich of the Southwest” at Eloisa

Z I B BY

WIL

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

A

recently introduced seasonal lunch menu at fine dining standard Eloisa surprisingly features what some consider a lowbrow standard: tacos. Ah, but these are tacos created by the award-winning chef John Sedlar. Being that a taco is basically no more than a tortilla filled with some sort of deliciousness or another, one had to wonder what kind of vision Sedlar had conjured for this handsy street food.

Lucky for us, when my dining pal and I popped into Eloisa during a bustling Monday lunch service, Chef Sedlar was making rounds about the airy space, so I got the chance to ask. (Santa Fe Mayor and obvious Power Luncher Alan Webber was also working the room.)

“The chefs in Santa Fe are just so amazing and represent New Mexico cooking so well that we thought it would be fun to try something different with the sandwich of the Southwest,” said Sedlar. “Something dealing more with non-traditional fusion—sort of a ‘no-rules’ crossing of cultures with food.” In other words: Chefs just wanna have fun!

Eloisa’s new lunch menu currently offers 12 street taco options ranging from the traditional like al pastor, barbacoa and steak fajita tacos to the most decidedly not traditional, such as crawfish etouffee, BLT and even crab cake.

The al pastor pork tacos ($11) came in warm, slightly charred tortillas topped with chunks of juicy, well-cooked pork in a light mole. The measured seasoning allowed the taste of the pork to shine through and provided a fantastic smoky

compliment to the sweet topping of plump, juicy grilled pineapple.

Thai shrimp tacos ($14) were presented in a crispy blue corn shell, which highlighted the bright colors of a purple cabbage and red bell pepper slaw, accented by verdant leaves of torn cilantro. On the side, a startling sauce made of freshly crushed peanuts brought a bit of a slow kick, harmonizing with the spice of expertly cooked and seasoned shrimp.

If you aren’t lucky enough to have an abuela, the pocho fried tacos ($9) should make up for all the love and food you missed out on. “Pocho” is a Spanish slang term for someone who’s left Mexico and become Americanized— and perhaps the English word for these tacos would be “leftovers”—the idea behind them being, “What do you have left in the fridge on a Sunday that you can put in a taco?” as explained by our server. These

chewy half-moons were fried and filled with a silky mash of potatoes and garlic, served with a tangy tomatillo sauce. Held together with a clothespin, they conjured up images of enjoying leftovers with grandma while helping with weekend laundry.

On the other side of the pocho fence, we couldn’t resist the cheeseburger tacos ($13) because, obviously, how much more Mexican-American can a taco get?

The moist, fragrant tortilla held a nugget of rich, certified kobe beef, accented with green chile, cheddar and bacon, as well as a sprinkling of lettuce and chunks of juicy red tomato. “Like a slider on a tortilla!” exclaimed my dining companion.

The most surprising of the lot was the roasted squash and rainbow-colored beet tostada ($10), a crispy, charred tortilla topped with the aforementioned veggies and partnered with a purposefully mussed plop of mole. It took us a while to figure out

FOOD

an approach to eating this one. It turned out tearing the tortilla and using it to grab some veggies, then sliding the whole collection through the mole was the best course of action. Taken separately, the ingredients were confusing. The squash had a distinct, earthy seasoning we could not epa identify (perhaps black pepper and epazote? We couldn’t get the kitchen to dish on the secret), while the beets were slightly pickled, earthy-sweet and overtly salty. As Togeth separates, they were a salty salad. Together, with the tortilla and mole, it made for an inspirational bite.

What elevates Eloisa’s tacos from straightforward street tacos, and what tor these all had in common, was that the tortillas weren’t just a delivery method for the food; they were the heart of it. Each taco was presented in its own style of tortilla, the different flavors and cooking methods chosen specifically to complement the contents. Whether dried, fried, steamed cu or charred, the tortillas were as finely curated as any local art gallery—which is no surprise, given that Eloisa’s chefs worked fami directly with Percy Reano and his family of Santo Domingo Pueblo to plant and harvest corn that would deliver the flavors they desired.

Another thing that puts these on a pedestal above the common street taco was the excellence in seasoning. Many times, a taco is only as good as its sauce, whether it’s the thickened marinade of a cochinita pibil or sriracha mayo on a fish taco. But what makes the best taco is when all of its individual ingredients are so brilliantly seasoned that none relies on the strength of another. It makes every bite beautiful.

Rust Creek Review

BEST MOVIE EVER

10

Buckle up for boredom!

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

Sometimes we think IFC will distribute just about anything that was made even slightly professionally, and this becomes extra apparent in the case of Rust Creek, the newest from the company’s supposedly-edgier Midnight brand and filmmaker Jen McGowan (Kelly & Cal).

Young Sawyer (Hermione Corfield from bit parts in movies like Mission Impossible and the more recent Star Wars), a promising chemistry student, is heading to a job interview someplace in the South during Thanksgiving, but when she gets lost because phone GPS is apparently bad, she’s swept up in some barely there plot about a backwoods drug ring run by paint-by-numbers hillbilly types and their meth-cook cousin with a heart of gold (Jay Paulson, Mad Men).

Rust Creek starts off enticingly enough with a simplistic but seemingly authentic look at how insular communities distrust outsiders and can be rather scary, but whereas a film like Deliverance had the truly disturbing goods, the characters here feel more like broad stroke caricatures crafted by a writer whose idea of Southern folks was forged in the crucible of bad standup, sitcom and

movie jokery and a complete misunderstanding of what makes bad guys scary.

Take Hollister, the leader of the drug operation (Homeland’s Micah Hauptman); it’s all shiteating grins and frights conveyed by wide-eyed and overbearing fight-picking, but he’s never truly scary—even when descending into the usually nightmarish combination of toxic machismo and stupidity—so much as he’s one-dimensional.

Ditto for his brother Buck (Daniel R Hill, The Resident), who was probably cast for his tight-lipped and imposing appearance but here brings basically nothing. As Sawyer, Corfield doesn’t impress either, though it’s hard to tell if that’s because she’s working from a poor script, tethered to other boring performances or because the minimal hints at Stockholm Syndrome are flat-out irritating.

Regardless, Rust Creek drags, and the peril never feels pressing or real. Instead, the twists and turns wind up telegraphed too obviously or, worse, lead nowhere in particular. What might have been a meaningful look at at a certain cross-section of society, the terror of helplessness, the heartbreaking nature of meth or even the nationwide drug epidemic playing out on a smaller but no less vital stage feels more like a profoundly reductive half-tale from movie makers who seem to have a myopic view of their own setting. Rust Creek is thus boring at best and mind-numbingly tedious at worst. We expected better all around.

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

+ GORGEOUS ALL AROUND - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

If Beale Street Could Talk is the most beautifully intimate film of 2018. Director Barry Jenkins’ follow-up to his award-winning film Moonlight holds up to that movie’s weight, adapting James Baldwin’s story of the same name that still powerfully resonates.

Set in Harlem in the early 1970s, we follow Tish and Fonny’s relationship; the childhood friends turned lovers have their lives flipped upside down when Fonny is incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit. But with the help of family, Tish discovers her true strength after revealing she’s with child. We were lucky to have seen so many creative contributions to black cinema in 2018, but Beale Street is a remarkable cut amongst the rest.

This movie would’ve been nothing without flawless performances, and no, there is not one weak actor in the lot. At the forefront, Kiki Layne and Stephan James are revelations as Tish and Fonny. Every conversation they have is layered, bestowing an incredible level of affection or, at turns, frustration, anxiety and longing. They’re captivating. Regina King as Tish’s mother deserves every single award imaginable. She takes

Thus, Beale Street is rich with atmosphere, seamlessly including real-life photographs of racial strife in New York City in the ’70s. It simultaneously enriches the personal drama, and makes the viewer acknowledge that this singular story is part of a much bigger and more tragic narrative. Beale Street is a stark reflection of racial tension, but also a celebration of what makes family so important in everyday life. You are wholeheartedly dared to watch this film and leave with dry eyes. You won’t be able to pull it off. (Matthew K Gutierrez) Violet Crown, R, 119 min.

+ A PROMISING PRISM OF CHENEY - NO MORE INSIGHTFUL THAN CURATED WIKIPEDIA PAGES

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, 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.

+ COOL AND SPOOKY IDEA - MOSTLY 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 (because the creatures’ one weakness is apparently being inside) or wear blindfolds when they have no choice but to scavenge for supplies

Cleanest, Friendliest, Best Quality Products and Service. Appointment or Walk in.

s t r e p x E Nail

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 wide-eyed 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 language Oscar winner, by the way) decided to keep the ending less dark than in the book. This seems a misstep, and ultimately one designed to play better to underestimated audiences rather than trust us to soak in and appreciate a more nihilistic viewpoint. Pity, that, because the core

+ ORIGINAL ANIMATION; FUN FROM START TO FINISH

- SO MUCH HAPPENING

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 supercollider funded by longtime Marvel villain Kingpin (Liev Schreiber) that opens up parallel universes from which other Spider-Heroes emerge. You’ve got schlubby middle-aged 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 super-collider 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’ 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.

+ 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 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.

Week of January 16th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): In 1917, leaders of the Christian sect Jehovah’s Witnesses prophesied that all earthly governments would soon disappear and Christianity would perish. In 1924, they predicted that the ancient Hebrew prophet Moses would be resurrected and speak to people everywhere over the radio. In 1938, they advised their followers not to get married or have children, because the end of civilization was nigh. In 1974, they said there was only a “short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.” I bring these failed predictions to your attention, Aries, so as to get you in the mood for my prediction, which is: all prophecies that have been made about your life up until now are as wrong as the Jehovah Witnesses’ visions. In 2019, your life will be bracingly free of old ideas about who you are and who you’re supposed to be. You will have unprecedented opportunities to prove that your future is wide open.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): What North America community is farthest north? It’s an Alaskan city that used to be called Barrow, named after a British admiral. But in 2016, local residents voted to reinstate the name that the indigenous Iñupiat people had once used for the place: UtqiaÐvik.

In accordance with astrological omens, I propose that in the coming weeks, you take inspiration from their decision, Libra. Return to your roots. Pay homage to your sources.

Restore and revive the spirit of your original influences.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The Alaskan town of Talkeetna has a population of 900, so it doesn’t require a complicated political structure to manage its needs.

Still, it made a bold statement by electing a cat as its mayor for 15 years. Stubbs, a part-manx, won his first campaign as a write-in candidate, and his policies were so benign—no new taxes, no repressive laws—that he kept getting re-elected. What might be the equivalent of having a cat as your supreme leader for a while, TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Movie critic Roger Ebert Scorpio? From an astrological perspective, now would defined the term “idiot plot” as “any film plot containing problems that would be solved instantly if all of the char- be a favorable time to implement that arrangement.

This phase of your cycle calls for relaxed fun and acters were not idiots.” I bring this to your attention because I suspect there has been a storyline affecting you amused mellowness and laissez-faire jauntiness. that in some ways fits that description. Fortunately, any SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Trees need to be buftemptation you might have had to go along with the delu- feted by the wind. It makes them strong. As they sions of other people will soon fade. I expect that as a respond to the pressure of breezes and gusts, they genresult, you will catalyze a surge of creative problem-solv- erate a hardier kind of wood called reaction wood. ing. The idiot plot will transform into a much smarter plot. Without the assistance of the wind’s stress, trees’ interGEMINI (May 21-June 20): In 1865, Prussia’s political leader, Otto von Bismarck, got angry when an adversary, Rudolf Virchow, suggested cuts to the proposed military budget. Bismarck challenged Virchow to a duel. Virchow didn’t want to fight, so he came up with a clever plan.

As the challenged party, he was authorized to choose the weapons to be used in the duel. He decided upon two sausages. His sausage would be cooked; Bismarck’s sausage would be crammed with parasitic roundworms.

It was a brilliant stratagem. The proposition spooked Bismarck, who backed down from the duel. Keep this story in mind if you’re challenged to an argument, dispute, or conflict in the coming days. It’s best to figure out a tricky or amusing way to avoid it altogether.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): An imaginative 27-yearold man with the pseudonym Thewildandcrazyoli decided he was getting too old to keep his imaginary friend in his life. So he took out an ad on Ebay, offering to sell that long-time invisible ally, whose name was John Malipieman. Soon his old buddy was dispatched to the highest bidder for $3,000. Please don’t attempt anything like that in the coming weeks, Cancerian. You need more friends, not fewer—both of the imaginary and non-imaginary variety. Now is a ripe time to expand your network of compatriots.

nal structure would be weak and they might topple over as they grew larger. I’m pleased to report that you’re due to receive the benefits of a phenomenon that’s metaphorically equivalent to a brisk wind. Exult in this brisk but low-stress opportunity to toughen yourself up!

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Writing at ThePudding, pop culture commentator Colin Morris reveals the conclusions he drew after analyzing 15,000 pop songs.

First, the lyrics of today’s tunes have significantly more repetitiveness than the lyrics of songs in the 1960s.

Second, the most popular songs, both then and now, have more repetitive lyrics than the average song.

Why? Morris speculates that repetitive songs are catchier. But in accordance with current astrological omens, I encourage you Capricorns to be as unrepetitive as possible in the songs you sing, the messages you communicate, the moves you make, and the ideas you articulate. In the coming weeks, put a premium on originality, unpredictability, complexity, and novelty.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): In May 1927, Aquarian aviator Charles Lindbergh made a pioneering flight in his one-engine plane from New York to Paris. He became instantly famous. Years later, Lindbergh testified that partway through his epic journey he was visited by a host of odd, vaporous beings who suddenly appeared in his small cabin. They spoke with him, demonstrating a sophisticated understanding of navigation and airplane technology. Lindbergh’s spirits were buoyed. His concentration, which had been flagging, revived. He was grateful for their unexpected support. I foresee a comparable kind of assistance becoming available to you sometime soon, Aquarius. Don’t waste any time being skeptical about it; just welcome it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In December 1981, novice Leo filmmaker James Cameron got sick, fell asleep, and had a disturbing dream. He saw a truncated robot armed with kitchen knives crawling away from an explosion. This nightmare ultimately turned out to be a godsend for Cameron. It inspired him to write the script for the 1984 film The Terminator, a successful creation that launched him on the road to fame and fortune. I’m expecting a comparable development in your near future, Leo. An initially PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): More than four centuries weird or difficult event will actually be a stroke of luck. ago, a Piscean samurai named Honda Tadakatsu became a leading general in the Japanese army.

LEGALS CONTINUED 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.

4. Gross Charge shall be measured and monitored periodically.

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.

Telecommunications shall not include cable services as defined in Title 47, Chapter 5, Subchapter V-A of the United States Code, as amended (47 USC§ 521 et seq.) and shall not include telecommunications services provided and used by a public utility as that term is defined at § 62-3-3(G) NMSA 1978, or successor statute, for: a. its internal system communication needs; and b. provided directly or indirectly to its customers, including but not limited to electronic meter reading, load control, demand side management, power quality monitoring, and other activities related to the delivery of electricity or natural gas.

Telecommunications Provider (“Provider”) means: 1. Any Person who provides any Telecommunications Service within the city by means of: a.

Affiliate; b. a Telecommunications Network owned by such Person or its specifically identifiable facilities of a Telecommunications Network reserved or made available for the use of such Person or its Affiliate under a lease or any other arrangement for a term longer than one hundred and twenty (120) days; or c. facilities of a Telecommunications Network not owned by such Person or its Affiliate and not specifically identifiable but obtained from another Person (including another Provider) if the use of such facilities is continuing and substantial. 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.

Except to the extent that a Provider or a Person uses the Public Rights- of-Way, a Provider or any Person which provides commercial mobile radio service, cellular, personal communications service, or other wireless communications service shall not be subject to this ordinance with respect to such service.

C. Infrastructure Maintenance Franchise Fee. 1. Pursuant to the authority granted by section §

3-42-1 NMSA 1978 and 47 U.S.C. 253(c), there is hereby imposed an infrastructure maintenance franchise fee upon the Company at the rate of two percent (2%) of all gross charges charged by the Company to a service address in the city for telecommunications originating or received in the city. 2. The fee imposed by this Section shall not be imposed in any circumstances in which the imposition of the fee would violate the Constitution or statutes of the United States. D. Filing Returns and Payment of Franchise Fee. 1. On or before the last day of each quarter, the Company is required to pay the infrastructure maintenance fee imposed by this Section and shall file with the city a remittance return and shall pay the fee attributable to gross charges for the preceding quarter. The return shall contain such information as the director may reasonably require. 2.

No later than February 28th of each year beginning in 2019, the Company shall provide to the city a report certified by an independent certified public accountant attesting to the amount of the infrastructure maintenance fees paid to the city for the preceding calendar year, and that such amount complies with the requirements of this chapter. E. Collection of Additional Charges by Retailers. 1.

When the Company makes or effectuates a sale of telecommunications at retail, it shall pay the infrastructure maintenance fee to the city as provided by subsection C, of this Section. The fee shall constitute a debt owed by the retailer to the city. 2. The retailer may charge each customer an additional charge in an amount equal to the infrastructure maintenance fee attributed to the customer’s service address in the city. This additional charge to customers shall, when collected, be stated as a distinct item on the bill to each customer separate and apart from the retailer’s gross charges to its customers for telecommunications. 3.

Each retailer may retain two percent (2%) of the additional charges it collects under this Section to reimburse itself for expenses incurred in connection with accounting for and remitting the fee to the city. F. Registration of Providers and Resellers. 1. Within ninety (90) days after the effective date of the ordinance authorizing a franchise with the Company, the Company shall provide the name and address of every telecommunications reseller or other telecommunications company with whom the Company has a contractual relationship to provide telecommunications services or to make available telecommunications facilities in the public way. The Company shall have a continuing duty to file with the city, within forty-five (45) days after the date of occurrence of any changes in the information provided to the city, including the creation or termination of a contractual relationship described herein. 2. Resales. Whenever amounts are claimed to be excluded from gross charges as sales for resale, the reseller shall furnish to the Company the reseller’s resale information. The Company shall retain the resale information with its books and records. G. Maintaining Books and Records. The Company shall keep accurate books and records of its business or activity, including original source documents and books of entry denoting the transactions that gave rise, or may have given rise, to any liability or exemption. All such books and records shall, at all times during business hours of the day, be subject to and available for inspection by the city with twenty-four (24) hour notice. H. Insurance Requirements.

The term of this franchise shall automatically be renewed annually unless Company provides notice to city of its intent not to renew at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then current term. Company may surrender permits at any time and remove its telecommunications facilities at any particular location upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to city.

Company shall not be obligated to pay the franchise fee for such location following removal of its telecommunications facilities. J. Indemnity. Company and city agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless each other and its officials, agents, volunteers, and employees from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, or proceedings of any kind brought against said parties because of any injury or damage received or sustained by any person, persons, or property arising out of or resulting from the activities of the indemnifying party pursuant to this franchise, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnitee or by reason of any asserted act or omission, neglect, or misconduct of the indemnitee, or it’s agents or employees, or any subcontractor or its agents or employees. The indemnity required hereunder shall not be limited by reason of the specification of any particular insurance coverage. Neither party shall be liable to the other for consequential, indirect or punitive damages (including lost revenues, loss of service, or loss of data) for any cause of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, even if the party was or should have been aware of the possibility of these damages, whether under theory of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise. The maximum liability of either party to the other hereunder shall be the amount paid or payable during the preceding twelve (12) months. K. Violations and Penalties. If the Company fails to pay the infrastructure maintenance franchise fee, as provided by this Chapter, the Company shall be subject to a fine of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each day that the failure to pay continues.

Each day that the Company fails to pay shall constitute a separate and distinct violation under this Chapter.
