EXTRA THOUGHTS: SPEED CAMERAS

NOT A GREAT IDEA Speed cameras and corruption go together like manure and mushrooms. If you tell a private business you can make $40 on each speeder you photograph, they will tweak whatever they need to create presumed speeders.

Then they’ll take as many council members as needed to nice lunches and dinners to quell the backlash. Ask Providence, Rhode Island; Miami, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois; all being sued—or Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where they shrunk the yellow caution lights to create red light speeders. Then when an enterprising lawyer says a private company mailing tickets to speeders is unconstitutional and sues and wins, as has happened in other cities, does Santa Fe have a budget for defending and paying refunds? Outside of already driving away visitors with $35 fines for overtime parking on $2 an hour parking meter, what’s Santa Fe’s case for this except a gambit for more revenue?

What it Means to Be Peaceful Students explore the origins of peace and conflict with Lannan Foundation support

BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

O

ver the course of the last year, 10th-grade students at Monte del Sol Charter School have been involved in an unusual initiative: History teacher Sierra Corriveau and English teacher Elizabeth Tidrick collaborated on a joint history and literature class based on the topic of peace and conflict. Both teachers agree that for the charter school, the class was one-ofa-kind. The two spent the summer designing a curriculum around the nontraditional teaching method of project-based learning, in which students learn through doing rather than memorizing facts and answers to a test, and spend much more time working on projects that they have selected themselves than in a normal curriculum. The final class projects are on display in a two-day installation of a “Peace Museum” at the Lannan Foundation Meeting House on Friday and Saturday April 19 and 20.

For the first half of the year, students learned about various conflicts from around the world. They read the literary accounts of people who have lived through genocides and discussed true experiences of conflict and creating peace at guest presentations by various members of the community, including a Special Ops veteran, a survivor of the Sierra Leone Civil War, the

son of a Holocaust victim, Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist Don Berletti and a panel from the Peace Corps.

“Given everything that is going on in the world right now, it really felt important for the kids to be thinking through these things,” says Corriveau. “The benefit of project-based learning is that the kids are much more personally invested and interested in the outcome of the class.”

In one of the final classes leading up to the installation of the project, students share their reflections on the course with SFR. One of the most important lessons the students return to as a takeaway is the importance of peace as a personal practice. “Peace can be contagious,” says Brayan Roybal, “but it starts with the individual. It starts with learning to be peaceful in oneself. Honestly, after looking at all the genocides, they all started with conflicts, and conflicts start from disagreements, and disagreements start from not really being willing to listen, not really seeing each other. So that’s what we have to do here in our own communities—is learn to be peaceful in ourselves and not judge each other.”

Another student, Prayas Pradhan, says, “I thought there was good and bad. Now I know that there are gray areas. The bad guys, we can’t just look at them like bad guys. We also have to see them as people who were probably hurt in the past or who were scared.”

The students ended the course by reflecting on the topics covered throughout the year in artistic projects based on research into specific issues. One group studied methods of cultivating peace at a personal level and built a mindfulness cabin that will be set up in the museum

as a sanctuary where visors and sit in quiet reflection. Other groups chose to study the topics of LGBTQ violence, rape survivors, the glorification of gun violence, and PTSD. The public can see both personal projects and a final group art pieces on the topics over the weekend at the installation.

The effort that the students put into grappling with these difficult topics is evident in the passion with which they talk about the class, as they speak about how to nurture peace in society, and how it’s relevant to the problems they face as young people in an uncertain world.

“This was not part of a regular community grant program,” says Linda Carey, a representative of the Lannan Foundation, which provided funding for the experiment.

When Tidrick came to them with the idea, says Carey, “We just thought that what they were doing was really in line with what the Lannan Foundation is all about, and we were touched that the kids would have the opportunity to study social justice issues, some of which have a really direct effect on their lives.”

The course is unlikely to become a regular part of the curriculum at Monte del Sol, but it raises the question of how to most effectively engage students in topics such as this one that have no clear “right” answers. The teachers agree that project-based learning provides an intriguing alternative to traditional methods.

“Peace is all about learning how to communicate,” says student Daniela Gonzalez-Trejo. “Our society needs to get better at this, because being peaceful doesn’t mean that everyone has to think the same way. In the class I learned how important it is to be okay with people having different perspectives.”

Lucas Rosas concludes, “It’s about learning not to judge a book by its cover. Not to judge or stereotype other people, because you never know what’s going on inside of someone.”

Five years running, the event is a free, all-inclusive experience for attendees, who also get hair, makeup and clothes.

A Night to Remember

M

ichaela “Mikki” Medina, a 21-year-old graduate of Santa Fe High with a chromosomal disability and cerebral palsy, went to her high school prom. Christian Woodard, a 31-year-old with Down syndrome, attended Santa Fe High and Capital High back in the day, and went to prom at both of those institutions.

At the time, they may not have hoped for, expected, or even been aware of the existence of a prom just for them. But for the past five years, Angelique Chavez and an ad hoc group of friends, parents and volunteers have tried their hardest to provide just that.

And to the attendees, there’s no comparison.

“I think it’s like, super fun,” Woodard says.

Medina, who will be attending the prom for the third year, was first introduced to the event by Chavez.

“Angelique said, ‘I really want you to come, it’s really fun, everyone is nice over there, and you’ll have a blast,’” Medina says. SFR asked if she did, in fact, have a blast. The answer was an emphatic yes.

What began as a pet project for Chavez’ children and their friends, held in a roped-off section of the school cafeteria in 2014, has grown into a behemoth that even she, a driven mother and fulltime advocate, can’t face alone.

About 250 guests are expected to attend Santa Fe’s the fifth annual special needs prom, not to mention their parents, siblings, cousins and chaperones, and the legions of volunteers that rally together every year to put the gathering together.

Far from its humble beginnings in the middle of the afternoon in a school that couldn’t be bothered to give them a full cafeteria, the event will be held at Blaze Christian Fellowship at 6 Bisbee Court on May 4, will be catered by Olive Garden (all the food is donated, and separated for potential allergies). It even features hair and makeup for the attendees before

proms, to Chavez, true inclusion means having the same great night that their typical peers do, and that often can’t happen at a standard prom.

“Even though they’re given the opportunity to be included with their peers, they’re truly not,” Chavez says. “They’re still the ones sitting in the corner, they’re still the ones avoided. At these events, they’re the center of attention.”

A wider national effort set in motion by the Tim Tebow Foundation, the charitable giving organization started by the star quarterback, has been at work across the US and the world. The Night to Shine Prom, which began the same year that Chavez first held her prom in the cafeteria, now reaches 655 churches (the organization is faith-based) in all 50 states and 24 countries, according to its website.

Unlike the Night to Shine Prom, Chavez’ effort has been entirely grassroots. What hasn’t been donated has to be purchased, and she and her committee chairs have spent hundreds of dollars out of their own pockets to make the night a reality.

Parents, siblings and caretakers get in on the fun as well.

Anita Medina, Mikki’s mother, who is also in charge of all the table settings, says that she and other parents often get even more excited than their children.

“I felt like I was the adult and she was the kid!” Mikki adds of the last prom.

It’s not too late to get involved, according to Chavez, either as a volunteer or as an attendee. Simply email specialpromevents@gmail.com.

“We’ll put them on the list, count them in on the food,” Chavez says. “They can let us know if they need accommodations.

Anything they need, we will do.”

Volunteers will be put to work, as there’s plenty to be done.

“Every time we think, ‘Oh, we’re gonna make a huge impact on these kids,’ they make a huge impact on everyone else,” Chavez says. “It’s bigger than I can even wrap my head around.”

they arrive, limo rides, and professional photographs when guests get there.

Dresses and tuxedos are donated as well, and attendees keep them when their night is over.

The best part, according to Chavez’ best friend and co-conspirator in her prom activities, Yvonne Encinias: It’s all free.

“There’s absolutely no worry for that kid; they’re just going to come,” Encinias says. “Everything is given to them, you’re not gonna spend a penny, and it’s gonna be magical.”

The event isn’t just for high-schoolers either.

“To put an age cap, then we’re just limiting them, and were cutting them out of something that they’ve already been cut out of for so long,” Chavez says. “If they’re 40, 50, and they missed their prom, come and have a good time. I think everyone deserves that.”

Chavez and Encinias agree that the importance of a special night just for these people can’t be overstated.

“Not to say that everyone is heartless out there,” Encinias says. “But it’s the unknown; so if someone looks different, you know, you get the stares and you get the inquisitive looks, and sometimes almost a fear, because people are afraid of the different. And these people with special needs, they feel it. They see it. They sense it.”

SEEING the way to weed Cannabis legalization for New Mexico is still in the station

BY WILL COSTELLO w i l l @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

hings looked bright for recreational cannabis advocates at the dawn of 2019. A notably anti-legalization governor had left office, her replacement was in favor of legalization, Democrats had taken the Roundhouse by storm and polling on the issue had reached record highs for the pro-pot faction. It wasn’t naive for New Mexicans to imagine that by year’s end they might be relaxing on the porch enjoying a legally purchased pre-roll in full view of the public without any repercussions.

Then, in mid-March, the legislative session ended, and the hopes of the hopeful were dashed. State representatives passed HB 356, the Cannabis Regulation Act, but then saw it flounder in the Senate Finance Committee, never having even received a hearing. Sen. John Arthur Smith, the powerful conservative Democrat from Southern New Mexico who heads the committee, told SFR a week before the end of the session that the bill most likely would not be on his agenda before the clock ran out.

Some advocates took what solace they could in how far the bill had come. Never before had a recreational cannabis bill passed a floor vote in the House, as HB 356 had.

Others checked themselves, unhappy with last-minute amendments that changed the nature of the bill drastically, and realizing that perhaps their expectations were too high.

But what happened?

SFR art director Anson Stevens-Bollen has wanted to make a magic stereogram illustration for years. He finally got his chance. Here’s how to see it: Bring the image really close to your eyes (until you touch it with your nose). At this distance your eyes cannot focus on the image and they look somewhere behind the image. Now, slowly push the image away from you, while trying to keep the eyes unfocused. At some point you will see the hidden image. Another method is to take an object and put it behind the image (about 2 feet behind it). Now, focus on the object behind the image while keeping the eyes looking at the image.

What you will see

The answer is not a simple one, and there were a lot of players who had a hand, for good or ill, in the outcome. But if one is looking for a culprit, they need look no further than the 12 members of the Senate Finance Committee.

There, all five Republican committee members and some Democrats signaled privately that they would vote no on the bill, according to Smith.

What’s significant about this is that, according to several people both within and outside the government, the votes to pass the bill were likely there on the Senate floor, if the bill had only squeezed past the committee. In this way, a small group decided that New Mexicans would not be getting their marijuana, that many criminal records for cannabis possession would not be expunged, and for now at least, the market would stay black.

The only nod that legalization advocates received from the governor and the Roundhouse was a trifling decriminalization bill. Under the new law, those caught with under a halfounce will face a $50 fine and a penalty assessment, which is not a criminal conviction. A far cry from full legalization, or even full decriminalization, the bill was nevertheless the big-

gest step lawmakers were willing to take toward ending the drug war this session.

Where did it all go wrong?

New Mexico is an unusual state in countless ways, but one peculiar thing about the Land of Enchantment in regards to cannabis rulemaking is its lack of a public referendum.

Nearly every state that has legalized the plant has done so the old-fashioned way: It asked its voters. New Mexico doesn’t have a system for public votes on specific issues, so if cannabis is to be legalized, it has to be done through the Legislature.

At least in this instance, that has been a significant obstacle. If legalization were put to New Mexico voters, they would likley approve it. Way back in September, around 60% of proven voters polled told the Albuquerque Journal that they supported legalization, while only 32% said they were opposed. The rest were unsure, didn’t want to say or didn’t have an opinion.

But because New Mexico requires that such measures be decided legislatively, that exposes a bill with considerable support to a governing body that, by its very nature, complicates things. Deals get cut, backroom conversations are held, and priorities are managed. Though this was a “long” 60-day session, New Mexico’s every other year of only 30-day lawmaking sessions for unpaid legislators add to the barriers, and any piece of legislation that gets off to a slow start faces a steep climb to success.

In fact, many lawmakers involved in the process say that the two-month window that they had to work with was simply not enough time to get legalization across the finish line this time.

“The bill fell victim to the timing of it,” the bill’s prime sponsor, Albuquerque Rep. Javier Martinez, tells SFR. “Senate Finance was still going to hear HB 6 and the governor’s early-ed proposal, both of which were heard on that last Friday. Potentially it could have been tied up politically as well.”

And while the new governor has expressed openness towards legal marijuana, that doesn’t mean the issue would have been a priority. Rather, the “education moonshot” that the new Democratic administration has been touting since the midterm elections was at the top of the to-do list.

Was HB 356 even good?

Another question that needs answering: How did this bill end up so bad in the eyes of so many? The differences between Martinez’ original bill and the one that emerged from a brutal House Judiciary Committee hearing and then to the floor are stark.

The allowance to grow cannabis in the home, common in most other states that have legalized, was removed from the original bill by the House Judiciary Committee. Members also added language requiring all retailers to be state-run, rather than the private enterprises that exist in many other states, as well as a requirement that people carry proof of purchase for all sales.

Because of these provisions, some advocates were actually pleased the bill failed.

lil a fe r li fo ice ju ya

“I didn’t like either one to be honest,” Muñoz tells SFR, referring to the bill before and after it was amended in the House. He says that he liked the proof of purchase requirement, but was confused as to why home grown cannabis was banned. “If it’s recreational and they want to grow it, let them grow it.”

Neither Sapien or Muñoz would say definitively whether they had told Smith that they planned to vote no.

“The vote in there would’ve been 7-5 against it, and I was told it might even been 8-4,” Smith says.

Martinez says the late-hour amendments gave the bill a chance to win over Republican legislators.

“We knew that it was going to be a heavy lift; just given the makeup of the committee, we have some pretty conservative people on that committee,” Martinez says. “Having said that, I believe that the way we crafted the compromise bill, by including those Republican ideas, that at least gave us a shot to at least appeal to some of those more conservative Democrats or some of the more libertarian Republicans on that committee.”

What happens next?

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

“Don’t fret,” Facebook user John Carr writes on a SFR post reporting the bill’s slim chance of passing.

“In this case failure is a good thing. HB 356 is a deeply flawed bill—and just the latest example of the clown show called the New Mexico Legislature.”

But others say that the changes were necessary in order to keep the bill from being dismissed out of hand by conservatives.

“It had no chance with home grow,” A Blair Dunn, a libertarian candidate for attorney general in 2018 and legal cannabis proponent, tells SFR. “There’s also a couple Senate Democrats that will go [Republicans’] way; John Arthur Smith and George Muñoz come to mind.”

“Without some level of bipartisan support in Senate Finance, you don’t get out of Senate Finance,” Dunn adds.

But the compromises that were made failed to win over a single Republican in finance, and appears to have alienated some of the committee’s seven Democrats.

Smith planned to vote against the bill, but his fellow Dem, Sen. John Sapien, who represents District 9 including Bernalillo, tells SFR he favored the initial House bill, but had become more skeptical after seeing the changes introduced during the House Committee process, and was unsure how he would vote.

Sen. George Muñoz also expressed skepticism about the bill.

The governor signaled shortly after the session ended that she would make cannabis a priority during the next session, which is promising for advocates.

Martinez says that the governor’s office has contacted him and intends to work with legislators before the next session in 2020 to get a similar bill on the table.

But other than the governor’s fuller attention, little has changed in the legislative landscape. Time will still be an issue, perhaps even more so in the short sesion upcoming.

Whether a bill that reportedly died due to a time crunch could squeak through the Roundhouse and land on the governor’s desk in a month is an open question.

Sen. Mark Moores, a Republican who co-sponsored the Senate legalization bill from which many of the more conservative amendments were drawn, tells SFR that with a shorter session comes fewer proposed bills, and that he thinks legalization has a shot.

The Drug Policy Alliance, an advocacy group that worked closely on the bill, also hopes that in the time before the next session, a better compromise bill gets support.

“It was obviously a rush to put those two bills together, so we think it could have been a better bill, and it will be a better bill in 2020,” says Emily Kaltenbach, state director for the Drug Policy Alliance. “I think it sends a really strong statement that this is a priority for [Lujan Grisham’s] administration.”

But a legalization bill would still need to pass through the committee process, and likely the Senate Finance Committee. Barring any major changes in worldview among the committee’s conservative membership, the biggest obstacle to legalization will remain unchanged.

“We have to remember that we have the same Senate next year. And the individuals who’ve been in opposition for many years will still be in their seats,” Kaltenbach says. “We’ll have to see when the time comes whether those folks will jump on board and whether we’ll have enough votes in the Senate to get it through.”

LEAH CANTOR

The State of CBD Unpacking the properties of CBD, what to look for in products and the legal standing of the cannabinoid

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

rom body lotions that advertise the skin care benefits of hemp oils to dog treats with CBD that promise to calm your pup, and CBD tinctures that claim to aid ailments from anxiety to muscle pains—products that take advantage of the benefits of its compounds are in vogue.

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of at least 12 naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. It’s purported to have many therapeutic qualities, including lowering anxiety and easing muscle pain. Like THC, the cannabinoid that gets you high, CBD works by effecting the body’s endocannabinoid system; however, CBD does not have any psychoactive effects.

Despite all the fanfare, CBD health claims are not validated by the Food and Drug Administration, and few scientific studies have been done in the US on its use as a medicine. Still, studies from other nations and a wealth of anecdotal evidence suggest that it can be a very effective treatment for conditions such as epilepsy, inflammation and depression.

store located adjacent to the dispensary, tells SFR not all CBD products are created equal. There’s a difference between the high-quality hemp grown specifically for CBD, and industrial hemp that is grown for fiber used to make products from paper to textiles and is typically very low in cannabinoids. According to Helman, some companies are cashing in on the CBD craze by selling products made with low-grade industrial hemp oil.

To be sure you’re getting the real deal, Helman advises finding out where the product is sourced and checking for milligrams of CBD and dosage, and a certificate of analysis drawn from a lab report to be sure you are buying a quality product.

Should you buy full-spectrum or isolate? Some industry professionals say the wealth of cannabinoids in the

Retail Therapy

Most CBD products on the market come from hemp, a variety of the cannabis plant that is legally defined as cannabis having lower than .3% THC. (Psychoactive cannabis has more like 20% THC.) It is legal to purchase CBD products made from hemp throughout the US without a medical marijuana card.

Local sellers say knowing the source and lab analyis of CBD products is valuable.

full-spectrum oil make the body more receptive to the effects of the CBD. But Helman also says the isolate can be better for some conditions and is considered safer for children.

CBD for Pets

Yes, it’s true, you can now get CBD products for your pets too. Orlando Hurtado, an employee at The Critters and Me, says it is especially useful for older dogs with joint issues, pets with cancer and pups who get overly excited. The Critters and Me is one of the only pet stores in Santa Fe that carries a full variety of CBD products including treats, pellets and infused salmon oil.

Here at SFR, we can say that anecdotally, we’ve given CBD oil to our dying pets, and it’s absolutely helped them sleep through their last days. But if you ask your vet, you are unlikely to get a straight answer.

“I never recommend products to clients that aren’t FDA approved, but I definitely see great promise for the future,” Jennifer Steketee, a veterinarian and the executive director of the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, tells SFR. She adds that she has had success treating her own epileptic cat with CBD oil.

You might have more luck getting guidance from a holistic animal practitioner, says Catherine Davis, confounder of Santa Fe startup Wattadog, whose first product is a full-spectrum hemp oil for dogs.

Legal Ambiguity

CBD is shrouded in legal ambiguity. Like all other marijuana-derived products, the cannabinoid was classified as a Schedule 1 substance (on the same level as heroin and cocaine) until the 2018 Farm Bill decriminalized the production of hemp at a federal level and opened the door for individual states to create their own legal frameworks for the industry.

But sales of CBD still exist in a legal gray zone because it has not been approved by the FDA, and some states have been cracking down on retailers selling the product in recent months.

Growing hemp has been legal in New Mexico in some cirumstances since 2017, but manufacture of hemp-derived products remained in limbo until this legislative session, when Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed the Hemp Manufacturing Act. Sponsored by state Rep. Derrick J Lente, D-Sandia Pueblo, the bill provides a regulatory structure for the production of hemp products.

“We have a very good climate for growing hemp in New Mexico,” Lente tells SFR by phone, “because it grows well in drought, requires very little water. It’s a high-value crop that will compete with chile and pecans. The hope is that this will rejuvenate the agricultural industry and bring more youth into farming, because it allows them to make real money.”

example. That helps the burdened staff, she says, but not enough. On March 29, the Medical Cannabis Advisory Board issued a recommendation to make opioid use disorder its 23rd qualifying condition.

Kunkel says she will adopt it.

“I am not sure what the increase in the population will be but we expect to see, of course, an increase,” she says, adding that inter-state reciprocity, which is set to go into effect midway through 2020, also stands to change the regulatory burden.

“I believe we are going to need additional staff in the areas of compliance and monitoring that I have not even figured out yet.”

The department reports 70,743 patients at the end of March, with just over 8,000 in Santa Fe County. The statewide total has spiked by 39% in the last year, and the rate of growth will only ramp up, predicts Ultra Health, which operates nearly two dozen dispensaries in the state.

“It’s likely the Medical Cannabis Program will double in size over the next year,” reads a newsletter issued last week by the company’s communications man-

ome of the figures are climbing at a steady pace: the number of patients, the amount of revenue, the conditions under which people qualify for medical cannabis cards.

Others haven’t increased as much: the number of licensed producers, the count of state workers managing the program, the cap on plants for growers (at least not until recently).

But those charts are due for change.

New Mexico’s 12-year-old Medical Cannabis Program is likely entering a period of resurgence thanks to a friendly administration, a willing Legislature and a booming demand. Health Department Secretary Kathy Kunkel—who wrote the first rules for the program in 2007 as the department’s attorney under thensecretary and now-Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham—says she sees expansion on all fronts.

Last year, a judge ordered the state to raise the limit on the quantity of live cannabis plants each of its licensed producers may keep on hand during the growing process. Lujan Grisham this month signed into law a bill that allows for reciprocity with patients from other states and other door-opening changes to the program. Plus, Kunkel is poised to approve opioid use disorder as a new qualifying condition—one with a probable patient population of epidemic proportions.

“I wrote the original rule,” Kunkel tells SFR, “and I am aware of how limited and regulated the program was back then. I am back after 11 years and I am impressed with how much it has already grown and developed. But I think it’s on the verge of a significant expansion and growth in many ways.”

At its inception, lawmakers called for the Medical Cannabis Program to operate like an enterprise fund, with revenue from fees covering the state’s administrative costs. Yet they didn’t even allocate independent operating funding for the program until 2012. A graph of revenue growth in the last five years looks like a hockey stick—the department reports that

payments from sources such as producer and patient fees, which amounted to $772,000 in 2014, grew to $3.1 million so far in this year.

That’s not counting the tens of millions in gross receipts that patients have paid at the dispensary cash register. Patient sales from the 35 licensed producers totaled $105.8 million in 2018, representing a 23% increase over 2017 sales, and patient enrollment grew by 45% over the same time period, says a fiscal impact report by the Legislative Finance Committee.

Yet the staff levels have risen only in fits and starts. The program kicked off with seven full-time staff in 2012, and today has 28 full time workers at offices in Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

“We are understaffed right now for what we do,” Kunkel says.

Changes pushed out of the Legislature last month aim to, among other things, eliminate some bureaucratic tasks.

Starting in June, more than 70,000 patients won’t have to renew licenses each year, but rather every three years, for

ager, Marissa Novel.

The producer led the legal effort that overturned the state’s plant cap rule and keeps the pressure on the state to increase the allowed supply. It warns that even with the court order, “any initial relief is not likely to come until July after the first plants under the temporary 2,500 cap have been harvested. Even then, supply levels will continue to be strained as more patients enroll in the program.”

Later this month, the department expects to review the results of surveys issued to patients and producers. Kunkel hopes it will help managers address the concept of “adequate supply” and how to reframe rules to provide it.

She tells SFR she met with representatives from every licensed producer after getting the cabinet appointment, and says she’s got other ideas about making the program work better after hearing from them. One thing they’ll likely tackle is that producers, she says, “are not happy” with a computer system called BioTrackTHC, which the state implemented to keep records on product testing and sales.

Program Manager Kenny Vigil says through spokesman David Morgan that the program staff think BioTrackTHC “has strengthened the Medical Cannabis Program, as there is now a centralized system to report cultivation and sales.” The program is, however, planning to implement an “upgraded system” to allow for patients to submit applications online.

Patient advocate Jason Barker followed the legislative process closely and has long been a participant in public processes overseen by the Medical Cannabis Program board. He tells SFR the outcome of the session wasn’t overly wonderful.

“With the Medical Cannabis Program changes, if you compare the original version that was first filed to the final version, they did pretty much gut the bill and took out some of the most meaningful things that were very important to the patients,” says Barker, who represents a group called Safe Access New Mexico.

Notably, he says, the Legislature didn’t exempt sales from gross receipts taxes, agree to establish a patient and producers advisory board, or increase the number of plants an individual patient is allowed to grow at home. But some concepts that did see approval, such as the creation of social consumption areas and codification into law a personal growing program that had previously just been a rule, are positive.

“I guess, the patient community as a whole,” he says, “we are all kind of waiting to see what is going to be done to benefit the patients.”

Thoughts from the Road I went to a tech festival in Portland and all I got was some cannabis and one-on-one time with a feminist badass

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

D

“

igital privacy is a women’s issue.” So writes Emily Chang, a tech journalist and Bloomberg TV anchor, in the April 10 New York Times, as part of the paper’s Privacy Project series, which considers the myriad ways in which the internet has and will likely continue to impact personal privacy.

Chang discusses her own experiences of being harassed online, as well as the concomitant statistics that reveal the higher rates at which women experience such treatment—as well as the degree to which the harassment is gendered: For example, a 2017 Pew study indicates women say they are twice as likely as men to be

harassed online because of their gender.

Chang opines—persuasively so—that digital privacy is a feminist issue, one that elected officials and tech companies need to address.

I read Chang’s piece after I returned home from TechfestNW in Portland, Oregon, where I traveled the first week of April. The event features a massive pitch contest for more than 135 startups from different sectors, including health care, financial technology and cannabis.

I was there specifically to interview on stage one of the keynote speakers: Dr. Jen Gunter, an OB-GYN and pain medicine physician, who has gained an extensive following as a result of her outspoken criticism of what she calls the “wellness industrial complex.” Specifically, she rose to prominence as a result of several viral essays she wrote criticizing “women’s health” products sold by Gwyneth Paltrow’s company Goop that are either useless or dangerous. Gunter’s sights have expanded as her profile has grown to include Dr. Oz, the anti-vaccination movement, the anti-abortion movement and basically everyone whom she perceives as impinging on women’s rights. When I had interviewed Gunter in March for Portland’s weekly paper in advance of TechfestNW, she told me that approximately a year ago she had decided that “every piece of information I received about a woman, I would think, ‘How does that benefit the patriarchy?’”

Gunter is commonly described as “Twitter’s gynecologist,” as she tweets

What kind of swag do you get at a tech event in a state with legal cannabis? This kind.

prolifically on both health and political issues (she also writes a health column for The New York Times answering readers’ questions) to her 150,000 followers. She told me she considers it her ethical duty, given her following, to stand up to anyone whose power, profit or politics endangers women’s freedom.

Both online and in person, Gunter is fearless. As I write this, she has been battling on Twitter with a variety of antiabortion posters (whom Gunter has renamed “forced birthers”), in some cases correcting misinformation and in others simply shutting them down: “Oh fuck off with your lies and shell games. And when you have fucked off, fuck off some more.

And then keep going because you have not fucked off nearly enough,” she tweeted recently in response to one such poster.

Gunter kindly gave me an advanced copy of her forthcoming book, The Va-

TECH

gina Bible, publishing in August, a 400page guide Gunter wrote to counter the proliferate misinformation about women’s health, and to help women understand and make informed decisions. This includes both refutation and science-backed examination of what Gunter calls “vaginal offenders,” aka companies that are making money from products that are either useless or harmful to women (aka jade eggs, vaginal steaming, etc.).

I’ve been treating the book like The I Ching, opening it up at random and reading wherever I land (it’s worth noting I’m not actually sure if this is how people use The I Ching). As it happens, the first place I landed when I got back to my hotel room after the conference was chapter 20, on cannabis. This coincided with me finding, in my TechfestNW thank-you swag bag, a glass container with a large, pungent bud of marijuana. I haven’t been a pot smoker for a long time—at best it makes me say really mean things while laughing hysterically, and at worst it makes me vomit ( jury is out on which of these reactions is least attractive). I spent 10 minutes trying to decide if I should try to bring the pot home as a gift (potential detainment or arrest by the TSA seemed like a downside) before going downstairs to gift it to one of the Portlandia extras working the front desk.

SFR’s editor had told me this edition of the paper would have a cannabis focus—so, despite my personal lack of interest, I continued reading on the topic in Gunter’s book, where she notes: “With the increasing legalization of cannabis, it should come as no surprise that it has found its way into the vagina.” (I was, in fact, surprised.) She details the studies, or lack thereof thus far, on the impact of cannabis on the vagina. So, for now, if you’re considering using vaginal cannabis products (which I had no idea existed), it’s a “buyer beware” situation.

Now you know.

FILM SUN/21 MIRAGES ARE BETTER THAN NOTHING Like seeing Shakespeare performed in London or the works of Tennessee Williams in the American South, a play by Anton Chekhov broadcast from Moscow is just the way the master’s work should be enjoyed.

Stage Russia’s international broadcasts come to Santa Fe every few months, and we get the Easter gift of Uncle Vanya, a story of family ties, romance and betrayal alternately hilarious, hurtful, hopeful and heartbreaking like only Chekhov could pen.

These broadcast theatrical productions (including those from the UK’s National Theatre at the Lensic) are pretty awesome, with the convenience of film but retaining the urgency of live theater. Besides, we doubt you could see actors’ expressions this well from the audience of the actual Vakhtangov State Academic Theatre of Russia.

Celebrating Earth Day Through Dance Dancing Earth explores relationships to the land in unique performance “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” This refrain is at the center of Indigenous-identified company Dancing Earth’s performance, SEEDS : RE GENERATION, performed in honor of National Dance Week and Earth Day at Wide Fool this weekend. The performance, inspired by the three sisters (corn, beans and squash), is a celebration of Indigenous food sovereignty and an exploration of regeneration and resilience through Indigenous cultural perspectives.

Dancing Earth, based in Santa Fe and San Francisco, brings the performance home after an international tour reaching from the Sami region of northern Norway to the island nation of Guam. Director Rulan Tangen tells SFR the company invites the participation of Indigenous community members while on tour, creating a unique and malleable choreography in dialogue between traditions and cultures. As a result, the choreography changes over time. The original movements, Tangen says, are based in bio-mimicry and the motions of traditional farming methods.

Tangen also notes that Dancing Earth is one of the only contemporary dance companies in the country that prioritizes creative opportunities for Indigenous people. The dancers hail from at least 10 tribes and each brings their own cultural narratives and perspectives to the exchange, as well as backgrounds in both

traditional and urban dance styles such as contemporary and hip-hop. In development of the choreography for SEEDS, the dancers also consulted with Navajo elders and others from tribes in the Southwest.

“We call it contemporary because we want to protect traditional dances, we are not taking specific movements from those cultures,” Tangen says, adding that the company creates a safe space for Indigenous intercultural exchange through dance.

“The intent is not to generalize Indigenous culture; we enact diversity and maintain perspective through movement to keep things from being stereotypes, and to understand our experiences as Indigenous participants of our contemporary world.”

“All members of the group come from places where bodies were used by others, and we also perform it in those spaces,” says dancer Natalie Benally. She says the dance resists the colonized body and works to decolonize the spaces where it is performed.

The next stop is the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC, where Tangen was recently recognized as a Citizen Artist for work that embodies service, gratitude, freedom, courage and justice.

MUSIC

True Southwestern Black Metal Heretical Sect’s potent metal alchemy is uniquely Santa Fe on debut EP

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

I

t’s never made sense that Santa Fe isn’t more of a hub for excellent black metal music. The genre has its fans, sure, but even our dense, hyperactive metal scene generally churns out more death, thrash and technical metal than the grave-soiled corpse-painted icy riffs of the true evil you look for in a great serving of black metal.

Santa Fe’s history of cultural and religious clashes lays the perfect foundation for bands to respond within the genre, which has always been set against the status quo and Christian society. The formative Brazilian thrashers of black metal had Christ the Redeemer looming over them to oppose, and the Scandinavians had the erasure of their pagan origins at the hands of Christian agents; these are the hotbeds from whence black metal came in the ’80s and ’90s.

It’s not difficult to see the monoliths of Catholicism and the other complex cultural narratives of New Mexico and wonder who’s willing to grease-paint their faces and take up guitars.

Heretical Sect is here to take up that weighty mantle. The group hails from Santa Fe, and that’s all the personal

information they’re willing to release.

In true cultish form, the band prefers to remain an anonymous (and hooded) collective in an intentional move to keep the focus on the music. Their debut EP Rotting Cosmic Grief is currently available digitally and on CD, cassette and vinyl thanks to Redefining Darkness Records, Caligari Records and Vendetta Records, respectively. So, let’s set the fun, shadowy aesthetic aside and focus on the music.

Simply being “one of the few” black metal bands from Santa Fe isn’t enough.

What matters most is that it is excellent

Rather than simply exist as another Emperor or Mayhem clone, Heretical Sect moves fluidly between ages recalling the early days of the genre.

material and one of the most exciting releases to come out of Santa Fe in a long time. The EP was recorded mostly live at DIY venue The Cave by Kyle Morgan of Ash Borer, Vanum and Superstition fame, which already gives it a sheen of dungeon-like murkiness thanks to his

ear for all things dark and loud.

The songs have a sonic clarity with just the right amount of grit.

Rather than simply exist as another Emperor or Mayhem clone, Heretical Sect moves fluidly between ages of black metal, at times recalling the early days of the genre when Quorthon of Bathory was setting the tone and tempo at a war drum-esque mid-paced bludgeoning. This often gives Heretical Sect a doom metal quality while still keeping melodically to the strange phrasing of the guitars which, in turn, keep in step with the melancholia that persists throughout modern-day black metal.

EP highlight “Punish the Christ” shows off the band’s range, trudging gloomily into a battery of tremolo-chugged riffs and the harsh

echoing rasp of vocals that float like a bitter mist over the proceedings. You can all but reach up to your forehead to sweep away the cobwebs sticking to it, and it remains energetic while funereal, as all good black metal should.

The song sits alongside another great track, “Plateau of Stars,” as a means of solidifying Heretical Sect’s de facto mission statement: thematically pairing the “physical and spiritual genocides of the Southwest” with evocations of the region’s natural beauty.

According to the group’s statement, the “expansive skies, deep canyons, painted red rocks” are all “witnesses to untold butchery and grief.”

Such worship of the natural world is present in “Plateau of Stars,” making use of a palette no less intense than the other three tracks, but with melodies soaring a bit higher and reaching a pained, beautiful ecstasy in an otherwise harsh landscape.

It’s the band’s ear and appreciation for these types of juxtapositions, and their knowledge and respect of both their home and of the genres they’re referencing that create a powerful, impactful statement that resonates on a scale beyond just Santa Fe. Rotting Cosmic Grief is simply a document of great black metal.

COURTESY ANDREA HANLEY

The Institute of American Indian Arts Museum of Contemporary Native Arts’ Andrea Hanley is one of our favorite curators in all of Santa Fe, and now that she’s the newest member of the Santa Fe Arts Commission, we’re excited to see what else she’ll put together. Hanley says she might just be the first commissioner of Navajo descent and, as far as we know, she’s right.

She’s also the best, so obviously it’s time to ask some Q’s. (Alex De Vore) What are the duties of a Santa Fe art commissioner?

Really what we do is support art policy, look at how we can support what happens in terms of what role the arts play.

I think it’s an important role that will enable me to build on my experience and successes in other museums and arts organizations.

Teen improvisation develops creativity, builds listening skills, and lessens social anxiety. Plus it’s Fun!

Are there any particular things you’re hoping to make happen during your tenure?

For me, in this role, I’ve always strived to expand the definition of American Indian arts. I’ve always had a deep fondness and respect for New Mexico and the city, so for me, I think that I’m really excited about the prospect of meeting and supporting more of the Santa Fe and New Mexico arts community in a broader capacity. I’d like to think I’m connected in a way that is supportive. I’ve always thought that playing a role in supporting local and regional Native and non-Native art through programming is important—and supporting the Santa Fe Arts Commission to advance their mission of sustaining the Santa Fe arts community.

What’s your first order of business if you have one?

Y’know, I don’t know. I’m interested in ways the commission can support arts workers, artists and organizations. Then, obviously, I’ve already said my expertise lies in Native arts, and I’d like to see if there’s a way I can support the city in that respect. My mom was on the Arizona Commission for the Arts, the Heard Board. ... Both of my parents have been connected in their service to community, and that’s how I feel. I’ve always wanted to be supportive and tried to do so. It’s really, for me, trying to give back to the community that gives so much to me.

COURTESY SAINTS AND SINNERS

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M /A RTS

Mashups

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

S

aints and Sinners is a new collection of poetry and photography from writer Melanie Lamb Faithful and photographer Sally Nelson Kruse, published by local imprint Western Edge Press. The title was inspired by the Española bar of the same name and, in a nutshell, it’s a bit of a mashup and a bit of a love letter to faith and feminism, but also New Mexico, primarily the northern parts; the word “esoteric” is emblazoned right on the front cover, aptly, but perhaps even challengingly.

Must we be from the area to reap the collection’s benefits, or will the book serve as a sort of entry-level skeleton key to understanding the region’s ethereal hold on generations of artists from any and all media? It seems to ask the reader to at least try to understand the call. There is,

New poetry and photo book examines Northern New Mexico

perhaps, a siren song emanating from the arroyos and sun-drenched hills, and to capture it succinctly might be impossible.

Legions of artists try, and Saints and Sinners certainly adds to the gamut and paints a picture, sometimes brilliantly, sometimes not.

Faithful hails from Appalachia, and writes in the book: I was a child in the mountains cousin to creeks sister to snakes brother to tumbling boulders and grandchild to a sharp tongued, coon hunting biscuit loving baptist Her entire childhood just flashed before our eyes; but Northern New Mexico, she says, has more in common with her homeland than you’d think. Like there, we’re a land of mountains and small villages, of pickups and ancient bloodlines.

Like there, one can be ensorcelled by the rise and fall and crawl of the light on land.

She’s lived in Santa Fe for years now.

“My husband is a native New Mexican and our kids live here, too,” Faithful says.

“He said, ‘This is your place, you just don’t know it yet.’”

Kruse, meanwhile, was born and raised in Las Vegas (our Las Vegas, not the flashy one) and, despite beginning her college career at New Mexico Highlands University with an interest in arts, she wound up with a degree in business.

“My father took me aside and said, ‘Y’know, you might also want to make a living,’” she recalls.

Her love for New Mexico’s land and people was also sparked by her father.

“When I was growing up, I spent a lot of time with my dad delivering furniture— he was an upholsterer—camping, fishing in the mountains and the villages, and I just loved doing that,” she says. “So when I retired, I said, ‘I’m going to go to every village in Northern New Mexico’—and you know, I think I have.”

Previously, Kruse helped set up and taught at the Thoreau alternative high school on the Navajo Reservation, a job she held for 13 years. Photography, at least in any professional capacity, has only been on her front burner the last

six years, she says. You’d never know it, though, and despite Kruse’s insistence that the basics of design are a must-learn for any fledgling artist, a natural eye and understanding of composition—what Kruse calls “talent”—can most certainly not be taught. In Saints and Sinners, she proves such natural talent.

To be fair, some scenes feel tired, such as the rusty old pickup truck or the run-down general store—maybe the word is mandatory? Others, however, like layers of clouds and mountains peeking through a small window, or a DIY shrine crafted with half a bathtub and a number of broken-down santos, feel both quintessentially New Mexico, but also like new eyes on well-worn subjects. Regardless, each photo deserves closer examination and, when taken in conjunction with Faithful’s poetry, becomes its own microcosm applicable to our own lives, or at least recognizable.

Saints and Sinners is a back-and-forth collaboration: Some of Faithful’s poems were inspired by Kruse’s shots; some of the photos were taken in response to the words. It’s a testament to both that one might think long and hard about which came first without being able to come to a conclusion one way or another. Titles to the poems and images are intentionally eschewed, Kruse says, to allow the viewer agency and some sense of self-driven narrative. This is delightful, and it’s easy to see yourself in the words and pictures.

Think of the collection like a dream— you’re not sure how you got there, and there’s a gnawing familiarity to everything contained therein, even if you’ve never specifically set foot on that patch of land, even if you aren’t the spawn of a biscuitloving Baptist.

he is just Sorta-Rican.

To pass the time and gain inspiration, Alex puts on a goofy home-fashioned costume and hops about the streets at night, attempting to help folks in distress and stay out of sight. He’s spotted by Yesica (Cristina Vigil), an amateur photographer who uses her pictures of El Coquí to make her blog a viral hit. Meanwhile, Alex’s corporate-shill brother Joe (Jake McCook) is trying to tell him to get his life together and get a real job, and his mother Patricia CAMERON A GAY

I

’m not much of a comic book-reader.

Whew, there, I said it.

I am, however, a big theater fan, so I figured that a play that is partly a meta comic book could be buoyed by the “play” part, for me.

Turns out, though, that El Coquí Espectacular and the Bottle of Doom needs no consolation prize for its graphic novel spin. The play by Matt Barbot, which debuted in Red Bank, New Jersey, just last year, follows a comic book artist of Puerto Rican descent as he struggles to either acclimate to a more homogenous New York City, or proudly express his Boricua identity in the face of corporate forces that seek only to monetize it.

The mom’s-house-dwelling Alex Nunez, played by a charming but dorky but still charming Miles Blitch, has just quit his job at a comic book giant because he was tired of drawing white men and white women saving white children, or ethnic superheroes with ethnic superpowers (a Native hero is powered by a tomahawk, an African one by tribal magic, stuff like that).

We’re shown, without being preached at, that as subversive as mainstream comics may be, they are still largely repressive to women and people of color.

So Alex has secretly created El Coquí, a Puerto Rican superhero named after a tree frog. But he struggles both with committing one of the sins he himself hates (El Coquí gets his power from an ancient mask from the island), and wondering whether he has the cred to even draw such a character. After all, his nemesis, a local wannabe rapper named El Junior (Ricky Mars), reminds him that

(Juliet Salazar) chimes in with many of the same ideas. She also adds the backstory of the Nunez’ father, a cop killed in the line of duty—doing exactly what Alex is now doing in his sweat pants on rooftops.

It’s a relatively simple plot that tackles some huge issues, and Barbot is an immensely capable playwright by keeping it light and fluffy even when processing prejudice (and using the word “racist” prominently, I might add—no pussyfooting around here).

Even as the plot thickens and events get stranger and wilder, we’re swept along—which eventually turns into a comic book depicted right onstage, with actors hopping about in choreographed moves to show frames on a page. It’s hard to explain in words; better just see it. Kudos to director Roxanne Tapia, a Paraguas regular, for many imaginative leaps (no pun intended) and the bravery to take on a play that shines light on the elephant in the room without beating us over the head with its ideologies.

In tune with the script’s subtleties, the actors gracefully take the show’s themes and show them to us, rather than tell us about them. It’s a lesson from Writing 101, and it’s done well here. When Alex finds that he can break up a brewing fight simply by showing up in his goofy mask and getting the crowds to concentrate on him rather than their beef, I scribbled in my notebook: “Being who you are can shake people out of their zombie anger.” Indeed, authenticity is the name of the game here, and capable actors hold big topics and

THEATER

small gestures in tandem.

While Bernadette Pena’s costumes were some of the best I’ve seen at Paraguas, Alix Hudson’s lighting was carefully considered (from a sunrise to a new idea, it all came across from the booth) and the set an engaging jungle gym of buildings and boxes, one of my favorite things about El Coquí was something more intangible: The actors’ voices. My very first note, in fact, was “Alex’s voice,” and it just went from there. Each actor— and, thus, each character—has a very distinctive way of speaking. Some of it was affected, like Salazar’s naturally smooth tones pitted with fantastic inflection, or Mars’ screeching laughs when he donned a green suit to become the enemy El Chupacabra. But largely, these five actors were naturally an absolute pleasure to listen to. They were loud, they were expressive, and they communicated far more than just words with their speech.

Worth mentioning are the three relative newcomers in this cast: Mars, freshly arrived in Santa Fe and freshly back onstage after a break, is a hilarious nemesis as El Chupacabra. Full of sass and wit, he dances to himself even when the lights are out and the run crew is scurrying about with set pieces. You could tell he was just having a ton of fun. Also new to town is McCook, who portrays Alex’s brother Joe. McCook seemed a little less sure of his place as Joe, saying many of the words rather than delivering them as if he’s really settled down into the character, but he has many (if not most) of the show’s most pivotal lines regarding race and identity; he’d be well served to trust his own talent and inhabit Joe fully.

Also relatively new to town is Blitch, who’s only shown us his Shakespeare up to this point, and who I am psyched to see more of (in even more Shakespeare this summer, as it were).

For a show with tons of laughs and lots of color, El Coquí is essentially an inspiring piece about authenticity, family and dreams. It’s also great for kids, if your kids can hear the word “fuck” a few times without freaking.

Things are hard in the world. That is no secret. But Alex, when talking about El Coquí’s origin story—and really, every superhero’s origin story—urges us to remember: “When things are dire, you look up. You always look up.”

EL COQUÍ ESPECTACULAR AND THE BOTTLE OF DOOM Miles Blitch, as El Coquí, faces his nemesis, El Chupacabra (Ricky Mars)—and in normal life they’re comic book artist Alex Nunez and amateur rapper El Junior, also nemeses.

I

spend a fair amount of time researching stories and ideas online, and time and time again recently, three Instagram accounts caught my eye. As I delved deeper, I noticed they all shared something specific beyond the food and knack for design: Their messages were about health, healing, happiness and acac cessibility.

I also noticed each of these accounts was local to Santa Fe. Who are these people? I had to know!

The secret of success on Instagram is “dogs, Cerrillos and cake: the three things most important to me,” laughs Leslie Thompson of Momo & Company (@momoandcompany). Many Santa Feans know Momo & Company as the bakers of Sweet Lily, the much-loved gluten-free vegan bakery formerly on Johnson Street. It may have closed its doors, but the woman behind its mouthwatering offerings is still very much in the business of baking. Thompson now crafts baked goods, ice cream, candies and more at Kure Cannabis.

“Kure has so many clients who don’t want to get high but find that the edibles really help them, so it gives me a different perspective,” she says. “I love the marriage between tasty treats and medicine. I try to make things healthier but still delicious.”

Thompson also makes the desserts for Black Bird Saloon in Cerrillos as well as special orders for those in search of vegan and gluten-free options.

“I’m always trying to up my game with recipe development,” Thompson tells SFR. “From vegan ‘Twix’ bars and ice cream to a healthier version of the Fig Newton. I’m originally an artist and I haven’t painted in so long, this kind of takes the place of it. I have so many ideas that I tell friends, ‘Please let me make your birthday cake because I have this really great idea!’”

Katelyn Hilburn, owner of Madre Foods (@madrefoods), also began with a great idea, but one that started as more

of a problem. After the birth of her daughter which “kicked my ass way more than I expected it to,” admits Hilburn, she quit her job and began cooking as a way to work through her recovery. She soon realized she had a cooking problem.

“I was cooking like crazy for people who weren’t coming to our house,” she says jokingly. “I had to start feeding other people because the amount of food I was making was almost irresponsible.”

A pattern emerged between what she loved doing and what people requested.

“People in equally as vulnerable plac-

es, but different than post-partum, were approaching me saying they needed nourishment—they needed help,” she explains.

“How I could serve someone who’s going through chemo or a mother who just had twins, from both a nutritional and life standpoint, was through my broths.”

Hilburn’s rich and healing sipping broths and stocks, available direct, at the farmer’s market and at Terra Verde (851 W San Mateo Road, 780-5151) soon became the stars of her efforts.

“They’ve allowed me to serve so many more people at different points in their

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / FO O D

FOOD

lives, so that’s been a really cool journey to be on with people,” she says.

As for Instagram, taking a photo of broth can be a challenging thing, but Hilburn’s exquisitely styled photos truly fulfill her goal of “making pictures come to life.”

The same goes for Lauren Stutzman’s colorful creations. Her businesses, Picnic Catering & Events (@picnic_nm) builds creative, custom cheese plates, grazing boards and other “epic” spreads. The business also focuses on developing classes, tastings and food events centered around cheese across Northern New Mexico.

“There are not that many people who don’t like cheese,” Stutzman points out.

Through her company, Stutzman, who also works at Cheesemongers of Santa Fe (130 E Marcy St., 795-7878), and her husband, who manages the cheese department at Whole Foods, aim to make fine cheese more accessible to people outside of Santa Fe’s downtown core.

“We focus on real, artisan cheese produced sustainably by conscious, committed farms and creameries all over the US and beyond,” Stutzman says.

“We make a point to serve cheese that’s accessible in all kinds of places—from specialty cheese shops to your everyday grocery case.”

Social media was a bit of a foreign conforeign con cept for Stutzman, but she dove into it with stories about cheese that she found “funny, weird, cute or historical.”

“It’s an amazing product. You’re connecting the animal, the terroir, the farmer, and the producer with the public,” she continues. “It’s so fun to talk about.”

This is one of those columns where I wish I had more words to share about the stories behind local small business owners as their combined inspiration reaches far beyond pretty pictures. Do yourself, and your taste buds, a favor and search them out—and not just on Instagram.

Hellboy Review

BEST MOVIE EVER

The flaming sword of ... something

+ COOL ACTION;

Why did we need a reboot of the Mike Mignolacreated comic-turned-movie Hellboy when Guillermo del Toro’s original two were perfectly fine fantasy flicks? Well, because it’s fun and brutal, and because sometimes you just need a movie that’s stupid enough and strange enough and rated-R enough to provide raw, unadulterated escapism. Sometimes you realize the more mainstream comic book movie world has leaned a little too far into “gritty realism,” and sometimes the studios just like doing things like that. For these reasons, Hellboy is wonderful fun, but make no mistake—it’s by no means a good movie.

When we meet our behorned demon pal Hellboy (retconned but only sorta-kinda by Stranger Things star David Harbour), he’s all angst and trimmed demon horns and huge guns and sick of his dad’s crap. Said dad (Ian McShane) has trained Hellboy from childhood to be an evilkilling machine, but coming to grips with his demon side and why he would fight monsters when he kind of is one himself has really called up a lot of existential dread for the lad; he drinks. But then an immortal witch (Milla Jovovich) imprisoned by King Arthur some 1,500 years back returns for …

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

ABSURD BUT OFTEN IN THE RIGHT WAYS - WONKY NARRATIVE; BAD PERFORMANCES

normal witch reasons, and Hellboy has to stop her, natch, but he also has to feel his feelings and learn about blah blah blah blah blah; he kills.

We’ll give points to director Neil Marshall (2005’s The Descent) for his decidedly more violent and “adult” take on the franchise, ’cause when the bullets fly and the monsters come out to slay, Hellboy coalesces into a halfway decent action movie with over-the-top gore and some legitimately excellent monster design and world-building. When the quieter moments arise, however, like when McShane waxes philosophically during a father/son shaving lesson or when we suffer the little bonding moments that don’t land due to the cast’s fundamental lack of chemistry—or even when needless narrative elements fall apart under the most gentle scrutiny—skepticism kicks in. But then it’s back to the face-shooting, secret occult societies, monster transformations and absurd violence.

It could be argued that this one’s for the fans, but even they won’t be able to defend barely there characters like a medium with a long-standing connection to Hellboy (Sasha Lane), a British agent with a supernatural secret of his own (Daniel Dae Kim) or the maybe-dead, maybe-not, but probably-dead Nazi hunter Lobster Johnson (Thomas Haden Church). Then again, do they need to be defended? Because it’s Hellboy’s show, and he’s bringing all the stone-handed face smashing goodness we showed up for in the first place with a high percentage of success. Oh, and Baba Yaga’s in the mix, too, so … it’s fine.

for inspection—including shootouts, suicide discussions, familial treachery and more.

We’re not gonna lie, some of what happens here is cheesy: “Bless these hands that touch the oil. Bless these hands for they must toil,” in a prayer offered before a cooking session; smudge sticks liberally burned at every turn; and music/production montages that seem better placed on weeknight TV. Kate appears undeterred by a county sheriff named Vern Warnke who’s the picture of a Western hard-ass with soundbites such as, “Don’t think for a minute that habit is going to slow me down in prosecution.”

Ryan’s crews follow deputies who hack away at the county’s grow sites and carry as much as 2 tons a week to the landfill—plus filmmakers show the love and care, and risk and consequence of Kate’s crops and production of oils and other products she sends in the mail or hand-delivers to locals. All the while, she’s fighting to get sanctioned for the business.

Spoiler alert: Business is booming.

What kind of nun is she?

Sister Kate explains it with a punchy motto: “I’m a self-declared, self-empowered, anarchistactivist nun.”

While antagonists call her name, invented religious order and clothing of choice “a costume,” the woman at the heart of Breaking Habits doesn’t care. The documentary follows the scrappy cannabis entrepreneur and her small band of cohorts who formed Sisters of the Valley in Merced County, California, in the state’s impoverished Central Valley, just before no-holds-barred legalization became the law there. Wearing the habit was a joke at first, then an outward symbol of what she says has become her sacred mission.

In a fitting release in Santa Fe the week of the 4/20 cannabis holiday, filmmaker Robert Ryan focuses on the trajectory that took Kate from CEO to homeless to CBD star. It’s no Sister Act for weed, however. The rough edges are open

WORTHWHILE SCARES - NOT A LOT HAPPENS; MOM SUCKS

It’s been 30 years since Stephen King’s Pet Sematary originally came to the big screen, and the time in-between doesn’t seem to have helped today’s modern filmmakers improve upon it in any way—the new remake is really just OK, and we can’t give it much more credit than that.

If you haven’t seen the original, Pet Sematary follows a super-bummed father who finds out that the woods behind his family’s new home in wherever-the-heck, Maine, can raise the dead. Good news for him, we guess, because his cat just died. Whatever it is he brings back, though, it’s certainly not the feline he knew and loved, and that goes double when he tries the same thing with his dead kid (sorry for the spoilers, but seriously, it’s been 30 years, so if you didn’t already know, it’s kind of on you). Dead cat or dead daughter, this dude just can’t win. Cue creepy kid’s drawings, “She’s not the same, dammit!” lines and brief glimpses into grief-propelled insanity.

Jason Clarke as Louis, the aforementioned grieving dad, brings a serviceable performance to life, so to speak, phasing between over-thetop sadness and somewhat capable emotion.

He just never quite gets to a place where we aren’t aware we’re watching a movie. John Lithgow is somewhere in there, too, but it’s hard to tell if his role as zombie catalyst is done poorly or he’s simply not given enough screen time to reel us in.

Amy Seimetz feels pointless as the mother with a dark secret from the past, though the reveal of her secret is so unceremonious and facile that, at best, it’s hard to care and, at worst, it sort of feels like she deserves to be a bundle of nerves and bad acting. Young Jeté Laurence (The Snowman) surprises as the daughter, however, with a charming performance as the living version of her character and a downright chilling turn as the recently deceased. She’s easily the best part of the movie, and it’s got to feel horrible for seasoned (or at least longtime) actors to struggle to keep up with a 10-year-old.

Maybe she just had the better dialogue?

It doesn’t really matter, though, because Pet Sematary will make its money off a combination of nostalgia, the success of the other recent King remake, It, and the societal agreement we’ve all made that horror movies don’t really have to be well-made—we’ll probably go see them anyway. (ADV)

+ GORGEOUS AND FUN; ENDEARING - THE THING ABOUT BREASTS FEELS WRONG

Japanese novelist Tomihiko Morimi’s 2010 work Penguin Highway gets the anime treatment in director Hiroyasu Ishida’s 2018 bigscreen adaptation of the same name, and its mishmash of sci-fi weirdness and grounded young-adult tale is adorable, well-crafted and moving all at once. Ishida founded the film’s animation company Colorido alongside former Studio Ghibli animator Yojiro Arai, and though shades of Hayao Miyazaki’s legendary style do peek out from time to time, Penguin Highway is about as strong and original a debut as we could hope for.

Precocious and conceited 9-year-old Aoyama spends his days concocting experiments and filling notebooks with hypotheses. But when he applies his scientific and experimental mind to the case of the mysteriously appearing penguins in his small suburban Japanese town—far from their natural habitat— the answers he seeks become more baffling and terrifying than he or his cadre of pals is prepared for. Can an oddball dental hygienist known as The Lady be at the center of the rapidly escalating penguin conundrum, and is the universe as they know it collapsing on itself?

Penguin Highway is a triumph, not just in the telling of a complex story aimed at kids in an understandable fashion, but in its razor-sharp wit and endearing cast of characters. Aoyama (voiced by Japanese TV star Kana Kita) strikes a believable balance between insufferable know-it-all and insecure child on the cusp of big things, both personally and scientifically. We might want to hate him had he been written even slightly differently, but we grow to love and believe in him despite a subtle mean streak that appears when the chips are down. The Lady (Yû Aoi), meanwhile, becomes a sublime counterbalance to his actions and desperation to grow up, reeling him in and keeping him young, as he should be.

Elsewhere, the film shifts effortlessly between Aoyama’s thirst for knowledge and everyday fourth-grader drama, and though his fascination with women’s breasts is downright uncomfortable, we otherwise land firmly in his corner.

The animation, from the gorgeous handdrawn backgrounds and cinematic angles to the jaw-dropping action scenes and seamlessly included CGI, is absolutely stunning. Colorido knocks it out of the park from a technical standpoint, recalling the quiet majesty of a

+ HAUNTING AND MASTERFUL - YOU’LL PROBABLY SEE THE TWIST COMING

On the one hand, wunderkind director Jordan Peele is a master of suspense and tension, leading us through an onslaught of unsettling truths and fictions alongside terrifying madness in Us, the followup to his 2017 smash hit Get Out. On the other, the logistics of his new film’s narrative elements unravel just enough to leave us with unanswered questions despite a chilling and satisfying conclusion. If Get Out represented the loss of power, Us is the rise to re-obtain it, though Peele takes us deeper and darker than his previous work, and more capably so.

We follow the Wilsons, a typical family in Northern California, as they hit their Santa Cruz beach house for summer vacation. Adelaide, the mother (Lupita Nyong’o in, believe it or not, her first-ever leading role), grew up there, and a haunting event from childhood still follows her despite a loving husband (Black Panther alum Winston Duke) and children (Evan Alex as the son and the beyond talented Shahadi Wright Joseph as the daughter). It’s enough to drive Adelaide and the family out of Santa Cruz altogether, but before they can actually leave, mysterious doppelgängers stage a violent home invasion, thrusting the Wilsons into a nightmare as horrendous as it is baffling.

Peele patiently doles out the breadcrumbs, leaving the lead-up to the major events of Us feeling decidedly more tense than the events themselves. But then, the evil is always scarier before we’ve identified it, yes? With brilliant use of sound design and soundtrack, he toys with our emotions and expectations, creating a sort of Pavlovian response to song and audio cues. Nyong’o’s performance is flawless throughout, lending sympathy to her core character and a quiet monstrosity to her shadow self. Other such mirror characters provide scares as well, but none reach the sublime and subdued insanity of a dead-eyed Nyong’o staring carefully into her own eyes, even if Joseph’s wide-eyed and cold

smile as the alternate daughter does follow us to the grave.

A sparse but vital supporting cast wows as well, like Elisabeth Moss and Tim Heidecker (far better known as a comedian) as the friends with the sad rosé jokes and the barely contained ugliness bubbling up from someplace dark within them. We kind of hate them, and we definitely think we’re supposed to.

But then we reach the finish line, where (no spoilers) we’re supposed to accept and process a lot of confusing information rather quickly, some of which pushes our willingness to suspend our disbelief to the breaking point. As an allegory for classist barriers, Peele is right on the money with Us; its more subtle statements, however, may be lost somewhere in the classic horror shuffle.

Then again, perhaps we’re indulging in semantics and ought to just enjoy the ride—or watch it again a few times knowing what we know of its plot. Because it’s a complete joy getting there, and we include Peele’s rise to become one of the most important directors of our time.

We can only imagine what comes next. (ADV)

IVY came to us after spending several months at the SFAS, after her owner passed away.

She is having a tough time adjusting to losing her home. She is very timid but also very sweet and responds well to gentle affection.

IVY is a previously declawed, petite B&W bobtail girl. She is in good health and had a dental in April 2018.

The ideal home for IVY is with a quiet person willing to give her time to settle in. IVY would prefer a home without young children or dogs.

AGE: born approx. 10/9/06.

PRINCESS LIZZIE is a sweet, outgoing girl that we believe was abandoned by her owner when they moved last year. PRINCESS LIZZIE may have some Turkish Van heritage. She has a short white coat with grey tabby patches in the pattern of an adorable ‘crown’ on her head. She has very soft fur, a hearty purr, and a cute meow.

PRINCESS LIZZIE loves people and attention, but would prefer a home without other animals. AGE: born approx. 4/1/14.

Both cats are available for viewing at our Adoption Center inside Petco in Santa Fe.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of April 17th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): French writer Simone de Beauvoir sent a letter to her lover, Aries author Nelson Algren. She wrote, “I like so much the way you are so greedy about life and yet so quiet, your eager greediness and your patience, and your way of not asking much of life and yet taking much because you are so human and alive that you find much in everything.” I’d love to see you embody that state in the coming weeks, Aries. In my astrological opinion, you have a mandate to be both utterly relaxed and totally thrilled; both satisfied with what life brings you and skillfully avid to extract the most out of it; both at peace with what you already have and primed to grab for much more.

of diabetes, support cardiovascular health, and treat digestive disorders. But there’s a problem: the body is inefficient in absorbing and using curcumin—unless it’s ingested along with piperine, a chemical in black pepper. Then it’s far more available. What would be the metaphorical equivalent to curcumin in your life?

An influence that could be good for you, but that would be even better if you synergized it with a certain additional influence? And what would be the metaphorical equivalent of that additional influence?

Now is a good time to investigate these questions.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Beat Generation of American poets arose in the late 1940s as a rebellion against materialistic mainstream culture and academic poetry. It embraced sexual liberation, Eastern spirituality, ecological awareness, political activism, and psychedelic drugs. One of its members, Jack Kerouac, tweaked and ennobled the word “beat” to serve as the code name for their movement. In its old colloquial usage, “beat” meant tired or exhausted. But Kerouac re-consecrated it to mean “upbeat” and “beatific,” borrowing from the Italian word beato, translated as “beatific.” I bring this to your attention, Taurus, because you’re on the verge of a similar transition: from the old meaning of “beat” to the new.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I have the usual capacity for wanting what may not even exist,” wrote poet Galway Kinnell. How abut you, Scorpio? Do you, too, have an uncanny ability to long for hypothetical, invisible, mythical, and illusory things? If so, I will ask you to downplay that amazing power of yours for a while. It’s crucial for your future development that you focus on yearning for actual experiences, real people, and substantive possibilities. Please understand: I’m not suggesting you’re bad or wrong for having those seemingly impossible desires. I’m simply saying that for now you will thrive on being attracted to things that are genuinely available.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in,” wrote Sagittarian novelist Jane Austen. I’m guessing you’ve had that GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “Scattered through the experience—maybe more than usual, of late. But I ordinary world, there are books and artifacts and persuspect you’ll soon be finding ways to express those haps people who are like doorways into impossible embryonic feelings.
