City drags feet on local monuments report trumpeted as a way to make Santa Fe “a leader in racial healing”

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

L

ast November, former Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales released a list of local statues, markers and events commemorating figures and happenings in Santa Fe’s history. It included nearly 100 entries in total, and was supposed to be the first step toward a definitive report to quell conflict over glamorizing some of the region’s ugly past.

City staff were tasked to digitally gather public comments on the list through the end of the year, and present their findings in a report to the City Council in early 2018. But that never happened, SFR has learned, because the city shelved it for months after it was supposed to be released.

The report, and the process that went into making it, was supposed to make Santa Fe “a leader in racial healing” that needed to take place across the nation, the former mayor said at the time. In August, a nationwide uproar over Confederate statues came to a head in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white nationalists used the pretext of protecting a statute of Robert E Lee to attack anti-fascist protesters as police stood by. One protester, Heather Heyer, was killed at the event after 20-year-old neo-Nazi James Alex Fields Jr. plowed his car into the crowd.

Less than a month later, Santa Fe felt

the reverberations of Charlottesville in the heavy-handed police response to protests against the Entrada pageant during Fiesta. Eight people were arrested at or near the protests, and the ACLU of New Mexico accused police of violating protesters’ civil rights by confining them to a so-called free speech zone.

Then-Police Chief Patrick Gallagher later told SFR that the free speech zone tactic and officers’ aggressive attempts to keep the two groups separated were heavily influenced by the fracas in Virginia.

Now, with the Entrada less than two months away and a number of monuments to colonialism still standing all around the city, the effort is clearly behind schedule, and has the appearance of another grand solution announced in the midst of heightened scrutiny only to be forgotten after passions subside.

City spokesman Matt Ross insists this isn’t the case. He says the change in mayoral administrations is to blame for the delay, and that Mayor Alan Webber’s “tactical shift” in handling equity in the city

shifted priorities elsewhere. He assures SFR that a final report of monuments and events will be released after it is presented to the City Council, but won’t say when that might be.

“The mayor is focused on all sorts of different things in terms of tackling unity and inequity in Santa Fe,” Ross says, including initiatives like Southside Summer, which is supposed to “promote [a] packed calendar of summer events outside of downtown.”

“When he has a chance,” Ross continues, “he’ll read the report and get it out to the public, but his immediate focus is how do we get out into the community, the Southside, [and] focus on what’s happening on the Southside that’s positive.”

As of now, the public list of memorials is still visible on the city’s website, though the list of events, which included the Fiesta de Santa Fe, is currently a broken link.

One of the most prom-

inent—and problematic—monuments in town is the obelisk in the center of the Plaza, which was erected in 1868 and honors Union soldiers in New Mexico who fought both Confederate “rebels” and “savage Indians” in the mid-19th century.

The first major push to remove the obelisk came in 1973, when members of the American Indian Movement submitted a letter to then-Governor Bruce King asking him to take it down. The City Council passed but then quickly rescinded a resolution for its removal; instead, a marker was added to “blunt the wording.” The next year, an unknown person chiseled the word “savage” off the structure.

Later, in 2000, the executive committee of the NAACP’s Santa Fe Chapter called for the obelisk to be removed, according to an above-the-fold article in The Santa Fe New Mexican. No actions were ever taken.

In the last year, anonymous people have written the word “courageous” and “resilient” in black felt-tip marker where “savage” has been chiseled out. And last fall, a man impaled himself on the spiked metal fence surrounding the obelisk after climbing it. A makeshift layer of thin wooden strips bound to the permanent fence has been there ever since.

Jan Snyder, assistant fire chief at the Santa Fe Fire Department, which responded to the impaling, could not confirm any details of the incident.

Ross, the city spokesman, -Matt Ross, is under the impression that city spokesman in order for the city to fix the fencing around the obelisk, or even remove the obelisk altogether, it would have to coordinate with the National Parks Service because it’s a national historic landmark.

But Steven Moffson, the state and national register coordinator at New Mexico’s Registers of Cultural Properties, told SFR last year that the city could probably alter or remove the obelisk on its own without jeopardizing the Plaza’s status as a national landmark.

“The Plaza is significant as an open public space,” Moffson says. “That’s its primary significance, and its association with earliest development of the city of Santa Fe. The obelisk came much later.”

The mayor is focused on all sorts of different things in terms of tackling unity and inequity in Santa Fe.

March, Forward MATT GRUBS

Santa Fe considers holding its city elections in November B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

lmost any new city councilor will tell you the learning curve at City Hall can be steep. Elected on a Tuesday in March, Santa Fe’s public officials take office six days later.

The curve especially applies if you’re the mayor, as Alan Webber is fond of pointing out. It also goes double if you’ve landed a seat on the Finance Committee, which jumps into the city’s budget cycle each April to meet the state’s June deadlines.

For voters, too, March elections can be just plain weird. Spring break is right around the corner. It’s the last hurrah for ski season. Baseball has started. There’s enough going on that turnout somewhere over 30 percent of registered voters is cause for enthusiasm.

Perhaps there’s an end to the frustration.

Newly elected District 2 City Councilor Carol Romero-Wirth is introducing a measure to change the city’s elections to November of odd-numbered years. Councilors, mayors and judges would take office after the new year.

“It would give a proper transition,” Romero-Wirth tells SFR. “I’m not sure of the exact day they would take office, but it would not be March. It would be January.”

The idea of having an extra two months—plus the time in between a November election and January—for

a learning curve is something Romero-Wirth thinks makes far more sense when viewed through the lens of good government. It also has a chance to boost voter turnout in the sleepy elections that often have the greatest impact on a voter’s day-to-day life.

The idea has been kicked around for a while, and if the council gives the measure the nod, it would go on this November’s general election ballot for municipal voters as a proposed change to the city charter.

County clerks hold a lot of sway when it comes to elections in New Mexico, and Santa Fe County Clerk Geraldine Salazar says that colleagues across the state decided trying to group nonpartisan contests like municipal, school board and conservation district elections into oddyear Novembers made the most sense.

The county owns the voting machines used by the cities and other political districts, and if Santa Feans decide to shift their elections to November, it would be Salazar’s office running the show instead of the city.

Presidential, congressional, statewide and county offices appear on ballots during even-numbered years in November.

The state allowed cities and other political districts to make the change with the passage of the Local Election Act in

the last legislative session. New Mexico’s voting calendar was so fragmented that some counties held up to 11 elections in a single year, according to the Legislative Council Service. The law, which went into effect this month, sets the November odd-year date as the de facto local election schedule and lets cities opt-in from their March elections if they so choose.

“The Local Election Act makes it easier for voters to know when nonpartisan elections are happening, which should lead to higher turnout,” Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver tells SFR in a statement. “I’ll do everything I can to support Santa Fe and all other New Mexico municipalities that opt-in to the Local Election Act.” That shouldn’t be a large issue, even for cities that use ranked-choice voting like Santa Fe. “Our system can handle this. It’s not a problem,” says Steven Bennett, who manages sales to Santa Fe for Dominion Voting Systems. “This is just like San Francisco. And Alameda County is another county election with cities [that use ranked-choice voting] like Oakland, San Leandro and Berkeley.”

Once the election database is programmed, he says, Dominion’s software sees a ranked-choice item on the ballot the same as any other item.

The City of Santa Fe may ask voters this November if they’d like to leave March behind.

“It’s a contest. It’s on the ballot just like there’s a president or a commissioner’s district,” Bennett tells SFR, and points out that there were non-rankedchoice items on the last municipal election ballot. Despite hand-wringing at City Hall about how quickly the city would be forced to implement a voting system it had been delaying for a decade (an assistant city attorney went so far as to argue it was unconstitutional), things went well, in Bennett’s estimation.

Dominion says it’s ready to roll if the city and county decide to put the change to voters. “I’m in the election business,” Bennett offers frankly. “This is not a place for maybes.”

That sits just fine with Salazar.

“That’s what I’m told and that’s what I’m relying on,” she says.

The city plans to get a draft resolution to the county by Thursday July 19, so Salazar can flag any potential issues before the City Council and mayor vote on the measure July 25. Six days later, the County Commission finalizes the ballot for voters in November.

The first such election would be in November 2019.

Ban or no ban, Syrian refugees see welcome on both sides of the Atlantic

BY COLLEEN KEANE a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

ith activity on the US-Mexico border and the struggles of parents to find their children after Donald Trump’s zero-tolerance policy outraging the world, the plight of Syrian refugees has faded into the background. But, all this time, the Republic of Ireland hasn’t skipped a beat, quietly trudging ahead with a steadfast commitment to respond to the migration of millions of people from the Middle East.

In New Mexico, people working with refugees say Ireland is an example of integration and inclusion to look up to.

While Ireland is finding thousands of homes for Syrian refugees fleeing violence in their war-torn country, to the shock of our global neighbors, the US slammed the door on them under the Trump administration.

Even so, many New Mexicans are leaving their lights on and welcome wagons out. They’re focusing, for now, on families from countries around the world who are already here and joining with the global community to build a lasting foundation of support—personto-person.

One rare day in April when it isn’t raining, the doors to the Abbeyfield Hotel in Ballaghaderreen, Ireland, are wide open.

A father sits outside watching his young daughter playfully roll around on a scooter.

Looking up, he smiles. “Welcome!” he says warmly in a rhythmic Middle Eastern accent. Inside the spacious lobby, a couple more toddlers happily scoot around. On one of the overstuffed couches, a teenager plays a video game.

varied colored hijabs join them. Children look around shyly as their moms sit down.

It’s the Knit and Click group organized by Ann Whelan, Regina Finn and Miriam Berry, volunteers for the refugee reception center that’s been operating out of the Abbeyfield for the past year and a half. It is one of three refugee centers called Emergency Reception and Orientation Centers (EROCs) in Ireland. A second one is at the Hazel Hotel in Monasterevin in County Kildare; a third is at the Clonea Strand in Dungarvan in County Waterford. A fourth is in development.

These are not people who have come to exploit us or ... conflict with us. These are people who are refugees, simple as that.

-Mary Gallagher

Ballaghaderreen, pronounced Ballag-Hah-drEEn, means “the way of the little oak” in Irish.

Today, it also means “welcome,” fáilte in Irish, to hundreds of Syrian refugees fleeing their war-torn country.

The war that began after the Arab Spring of 2011 has claimed 400,000 lives. Six million people have been displaced inside Syria, while five and a half million have fled.

“These are not people who have come to exploit us or set up a culture to conflict with us. These are people who are refugees, simple as that. They are people who are fleeing for their lives; they have come thousands of miles to get here,” says Mary Gallagher, who owns a dress shop in the center of town.

Ballaghaderreen has a population of about 1,800. Located in rural northwestern County Roscommon, it’s about a two and a half hour drive from Dublin.

I learned that the small western town was taking in hundreds of Syrians on a previous visit to Ireland while I was there researching my own heritage. My dad was from Ballymoe, a town south of Ballaghaderreen. He emigrated to the US in 1930, when he was 22.

Locals found out the Irish government had designated the Abbeyfield, a hotel that closed after the 2008 economic downturn, as a refugee welcome center, a few weeks before the newcomers started to arrive in February 2017.

Under a European agreement, Ireland has committed to resettling 4,000 Syrian people fleeing unfathomable violence. Since 2012, the country has spent more than 100 million euros— about $116 million—on the effort, according to a report this spring from the Irish government.

To understand why Ireland would step up, Gallagher says, “Just look at our history.”

She recalls, a gentle lilt in her voice, “Do you know who we are? We are people who have had extremely hard times with the famine and mass emigration. If we don’t know what it feels like to be like that, then we deserve to be someplace else. I hope we can open our hearts to them.”

Ireland is about the size of Indiana, with a population of around 5 million.

The United States has a population of 319 million with a land base around 140 times larger than the emerald island. In stark contrast to the Irish response to the Syrian crisis, as a candidate, Trump spouted campaign-trail racial epithets against people from Middle Eastern countries, promising to ban travel to the US by Muslims if elected.

Syrians were at the top of the list.

True to his promise, once in office, Trump put the ban into place, slashing the number of refugees allowed into the country, along with funds for resettlement and support services.

“How shameful to see a genocide happening in front of our eyes and not act on it,” says Samia Assed, a Palestinian-American who lives in New Mexico.

Assed advocates on behalf of refugees in her leadership positions with the Albuquerque Center for Peace and Justice, the Southwest Organizing Project and the Poor People’s Campaign.

“It’s very similar to what happened during the Holocaust and the Irish famine. It’s heartbreaking,” Assed says.

“It’s a humanitarian crisis,” says James Gannon, executive director for Catholic Charities of Central New Mexico, which has offices in Albuquerque and Santa Fe. “Their homes have been the war zones we’ve watched on TV.” When civilians came under attack in Syrian cities, people were so desperate to get out that hundreds drowned crossing the Aegean Sea between Turkey and Greece, and the 24-hour news cycle delivered images of their dead bodies on television.

Across the ocean, another James Gannon says the humane choice seems obvious and hardly religious or political.

“You don’t have to close off and say no Muslims are going to come in anymore.

That’s an outrageous statement, you know,” he says. This James Gannon is a firefighter in Ballaghaderreen. “I’m not suggesting that everyone can come and go as they please. We have to have securities at borders. But, when people are in trouble, you help them out.”

When not on the job as a first responder, Ireland’s Gannon is volunteering. He coordinates activities for the young men staying at the Abbeyfield with their fami-

lies as part of the Friends of the Center, a group of around 50 volunteers.

Since February 2017, at any given time, an estimated 230 residents are temporarily living at the Abbeyfield until “forever homes”—family dwellings, host families or apartments in the city—can be arranged.

One of the Abbeyfield residents is 21-year-old Ghassan Shamet. He was in his teens and looking forward to going to college, hanging out with his friends and spending time with his family when his studies were done. Then, bombs started to fall on his home town of Deir ez-Zor, the largest city in eastern Syria.

Pointing to a picture of a demolished building on a city street there, he says with a look of deep dismay, “That was my home.”

Shamet is tall and thin with big brown eyes. He has an upbeat personality and an energetic disposition. His smile is en-

gaging. But, behind it, he worries day and night if his parents and younger brother and sister are safe.

“I miss my family too much. They couldn’t leave, because we didn’t have enough money for everyone to go. I haven’t heard from them in a long time,” he says.

Shamet was 14 when the war started in March of 2011, sparked by a violent military response to protesters calling for reforms and release of political prisoners.

It’s known as the Arab Spring.

Now, seven years later, the conflict that started with the Syrian government suppressing civilian protests has evolved into a multinational armed presence with combatants from Syria, Russia, the US, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and Iraq, along with Hezbollah, federation, jihadist and rebel groups, to name some.

Serhat Cambaz, an engineer from Turkey who lives and works in Ireland and keeps close tabs on global news, offered his take on what it’s all about—one that’s not too uncommon, according to news sources.

“This is the real tragedy. The sad part; it is only for money. It’s about oil. Nobody cares who is dying or who is surviving.”

In February 2016 the Financial Times mapped Syria’s oil holdings, showing some of the largest concentrations are around Deir ez-Zor, Shamet’s hometown.

When Shamet was nearly 18, his parents worried that he would get drafted into Bashar al-Assad’s Syrian government army.

“My mom [and dad] don’t like fighting,” he says.

They saved enough money to get him out.

Ireland’s Gannon is like Shamet’s big brother and takes him, along with other young men staying at the Abbeyfield,

on excursions—a sailing trip to Sligo, a semi-final football game in Dublin, and an international food festival.

“That was fantastic! We enjoy that!” exclaims Shamet, mentioning that Syrian, Zimbabwean and Irish foods were served.

“We have to keep the war out of their minds,” Gannon says.

The US travel ban on people from Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Mali, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen has been challenged by numerous lawsuits, lifted, changed, and most recently upheld by the Supreme Court in June.

The result is that the number of refugees from all countries allowed into the US yearly is at an all-time low. The door slammed hard on Syrian refugees in particular.

Based on State Department figures, the number of Syrians admitted to the US since the first of the year is 16; a drastic drop from just over 3,000 in 2017 and 14,192 a year earlier, most of whom were resettled in states other than New Mexico.

Lutheran Family Services is the only agency operating a refugee resettlement program in New Mexico, and it has assisted over 1,000 refugees from all over the world since 2012, according to its education director, Amy Foust.

The last time the agency resettled Syrian refugees, five families with a total of 42 members, was in 2016. Catholic Charities resettled only two Syrians before 2017, at which time federal funds dried up.

Now, much of the assistance is for those who are already here.

While only a handful of people from Syria are currently allowed entrance, there are newcomers coming in from AfghanCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

“New Mexico has been exceedingly welcoming to refugees. They are finding success in terms of initial settlement and long-term integration. We have clients who have opened businesses and purchased homes,” he says.

Here’s a look at what three other groups are doing to build a foundation of support for refugees seeking to rebuild their lives.

Santa Fe Refugee Collaborative Miraj Bukhari-Frayer of Santa Fe says no matter where anyone is, they can step up and lend support to refugees resettling in New Mexico.

“Instead of looking outward where barriers have been put into place, [we] start from the heart. From there, breathe out and share,” she says.

Bukhari-Frayer co-founded the Santa Fe Refugee Collaborative, a volunteer advocacy and support group, two years ago.

“I couldn’t sit by and not do anything.

The need is there,” she says.

On the night of May 18, during Ramadan, a month of spiritual reflection for the Muslim faith, she and several other women and a young girl stand and kneel in prayer.

Imam Ibrahim Habach’s melodic voice echoes over an intercom at the Masjid Al Rahma mosque.

At prayer’s end, Bukhari-Frayer helps fill a table with an assortment of dishes, breaking the fast that began at dawn.

Once ready, she sits down, loosens her delicate floral-patterned headscarf and smiles. She has a kind, gentle, patient voice.

“The Santa Fe Refugee Collaborative is about empowerment and building bridges between organizations and the refugee community,” she explains.

The network includes links with a number of New Mexico organizations and businesses, including Catholic Charities, Lutheran Family Services, the ACLU, Santa Fe Council on International Relations, St. Bede’s Episcopal Church,

With their support, there’s been food, blanket and car seat donations and cultural exchanges, as well as partnerships that give newcomers job opportunities and legal services.

“Since they began, they’ve done everything from community education events to fundraising and gathering of supplies.

It has been tremendously helpful. We welcome their support as partners,” says Horan from Lutheran Family Services.

Catholic Charities Upon hearing about Ireland’s welcome and long-term planning for refugees who settle there, American James Gannon feels a kinship: “This is the way it should be so that they can become members of the community, productive participants and neighbors.”

Catholic Charities changed its focus from a refugee resettlement agency to support services in 2017. He said the new programs revolve around volunteers.

“Like Gannon in Ireland, it’s the volunteer who makes the difference,” muses the New Mexico Gannon, who has Irish ancestry himself.

Using Canadian volunteer programs as models, Catholic Charities created the Team Refugee and Refugee Youth Mentoring programs wherein New Mexico professionals—journalists, doctors and chefs, for example—are matched with their peers from other countries.

“The idea is for the local career person here to give the newcomer advice, introduce them to contacts and help them reestablish their credentials,” explains Gannon. “It’s a natural fit. It shows them the ropes.”

The program matches families with mentors who help connect refugees with job referrals, ESL classes and educational opportunities, for example. Right now, about 50 volunteers are paired with 100 newcomers.

UNM Refugee Well-being Project Creating connections between newcomers and New Mexicans is also at the heart of the University of New Mexico’s Refugee Well-being Project.

Jessica Goodkind, a professor in UNM’s sociology department, founded the project after talking to numerous refugees about their challenges of resettling more than 12 years ago.

Since 2006, around 800 refugees have been matched with an estimated 250 students, noted project coordinator Brandon Baca, who himself was a student participant before getting a job with the project. The family he was matched with is from Burundi in Eastern Africa. Other

participants’ homelands include Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Rwanda, the Republic of Congo and beyond.

The program is an undergraduate and graduate course. During that time, families and students participate in weekly “learning circles” and family time.

Mohamad Ibrahem, Sumaya Amanpour and their children Ghadir, Mohmoud, Abdullah and Imad, ages 7 to 13, joined the project last November.

The family fled Syria in 2013. They traveled to Jordan and stayed three and a half years, before securing admittance into the US in July of 2016.

On a June afternoon, Sumaya has just made a pot of Arabica coffee and serves it in small delicate cups and saucers.

In the living room of their Albuquerque apartment, Abdullah and Imad take turns sitting next to Flora Feiluola, the family’s student partner as she talks about the experience.

“The whole point of the program is for the student and the partner to learn from each other,” she says. “I learn a lot every time I visit.”

Mostly, she says she learns about positivity. “The family is always very happy,” she adds. “I really aim to keep our friendship.”

Sumaya’s dressed in a royal blue hijab with white spiraling designs and a long matching dress.

She answers some questions in English and others in Arabic through the project’s interpreter, UNM consultant Mohammed Alkwaz—a man who was also a participant in the Refugee Well-being Project as a refugee from Iraq who arrived in 2012.

“This program is very useful to us.

Questions we have—say, with schools, health care, jobs—we can discuss within the learning circle. With this technique, everything is solved, because we have the right person to talk to,” Sumaya says. “We learn about cultural differences. When we have issues, we ask Flora. ‘What does this mean? Is it ok to do this?’ and so on. She helps a lot with these things.”

The biggest challenge is getting comparable jobs from the ones left behind, says Mohamad.

Before leaving Syria, he taught high school and ran a small business. Sumaya was a hair stylist. “[Newcomers] are looking always for a job,” he says.

He suggests that language-friendly work sites would help the most, so families can earn a living while learning English.

New Mexico advocates and service providers say it’s hard to know what the future will hold. But, in the meantime, the work continues.

Other agencies working with refugees in New Mexico are Immigrant and Refugee Resource Village of Albuquerque, the Albuquerque Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs, Artful Life Refugee Mentoring Project, United Voices for Refugee Rights (at the Center for Peace and Justice) and Global One To One.

“We’re the welcome wagon. We are creating a system that will hopefully be built upon. What we’re really trying to do is weave the newcomer into the fabric of the community,” Catholic Charities’ Gannon says.

Gannon said that he’s happy his great grandparents settled in America from Ireland.

“They came over for opportunity and religious freedom,” he says, “the exact same reasons these folks are coming today.”

In Ballaghaderreen, the weaving Gannon talked about is well-sewn.

“I don’t feel I’m a refugee here. I feel I’m Irish, too. It is lovely,” says Shamet with a smile.

“I have made more good friends in the last 12 months than I would have in the last 20 years,” notes Ireland’s Gannon.

Ann, Regina and Miriam from the Knit and Click group have been down to visit Syrian families who moved into their “forever homes” in Cork and over to Ashburn, near Dublin.

“We intend to go to other places, like Donegal [on the west coast], to visit more families. We won’t forget about them,” says Ann. Ireland recently opened up job opportunities to 3,000 asylum seekers. At the same time, the US struggles to undo Trump’s zero-tolerance policy that separated 3,000 Central American migrant children from their parents as their families sought to flee violence at home.

Reassessing a Rain Harbinger compelled the federal agency to make decisions on 757 species whose status as endangered had been pending. On July 11, the center notified the Fish and Wildlife Service of its intent to sue the federal agency again, this time for failing to protect critical habitat for the cuckoo in Western waterways.

Riparian habitats have been shrinking in the West, and that habitat loss led to listing the yellow-billed cuckoo—but only its western population as separate and uniquely threatened, compared to its eastern counterparts. That status, gained in 2014, has been challenged by ranching and mining associations and companies, including American Stewards of Liberty, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, Public Lands Council, Arizona Cattlemen’s Association, and Arizona Mining Association. On June 26, the service issued notice that it’s going to give the petition serious consideration.

The groups argued that there’s more riparian habitat than what the US Fish and

fter a dry winter and a hot spring that led to begging every storm cloud for a few drops of moisture, it’s hard to imagine something that might be more welcome than the sound of a “rain crow.” That’s the name the yellow-billed cuckoo earned for its habit of issuing a series of guttural, stuttered calls just before rainstorms begin. Renowned naturalist and birder David Allen Sibley transcribes that song as “ku-ku-kddowlkddowl.”

The yellow-billed cuckoo spends winters in Central and South America, then migrates north for a summer range that once swept from Atlantic to Pacific coasts, concentrated in densely vegetated riparian areas. In New Mexico, that means seeking cottonwood stands and willow thickets along the Rio Grande and Gila River. They’re one of few bird species that can consume horned caterpillars. While it’s unlikely they’d migrate up a shallow creek like the Tesuque or nest in aspen groves, they would aim their namesake yellow bills for the same culprit that’s chewed through the aspen canopy near Hyde Park Road: the tent caterpillar.

“Here’s this beautiful bird that has this remarkable journey—a literal journey that it takes—and that is in decline because we’ve recklessly harmed streamside habitats throughout the Western United States,” says Michael Robinson with the Center for Biological Diversity.

The center first petitioned the US Fish and Wildlife Service to protect yellow-billed cuckoos in 1986. The species was included in a 2011 legal settlement between the center and the service that

Wildlife Service accounted for when they decided to list the western yellow-billed cuckoo, and that the western and eastern populations may intermingle.

“The petition brought information that may indicate that that distinction is not as strong as we originally thought,” says Jennifer Norris with the Fish and Wildlife Service. “If they’re not distinct, then we look at the entire population of yellow-billed cuckoos.”

Assessing the population as a whole could shift whether it’s considered threatened.

In the West, where water is already limited, conservation advocates argue that increasing demands and decreasing supply through drought have compounded the issues for the bird. Cuckoos can be picky, too, about leaving their nests to travel across breaks in the canopy, Robinson points out, and tend to rely instead on contiguous riparian areas.

The agency is in the process of finalizing what it defines as the species’ criti-

Yellow-billed cuckoo

VOTED #1 SHATTER IN NEW MEXICO!

Ranching groups win a Fish and Wildlife Service review of threatened status for yellow-billed cuckoo cal habitat, which would designate areas where protective measures could curtail activities like grazing. Another riparian species, the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse, drew ranchers’ ire for the fence exclosures constructed to protect its streamside habitat from grazing cattle.

Critical habitat designation has been a long time coming in part because covering nine states is a big project, Norris says, and in part because public review of the draft habitat proposal prompted reports about additional locations for the species in Arizona.

“The places that we were notified that they occurred, they’re not the traditional riparian zones. They’re more these upland mesquite washes that we think are affected by monsoons,” Norris says.

“Maybe they’re utilizing different types of habitat.”

The latest petition suggests the expanded range means the bird might not need listing at all.

“The Service underestimated the amount of suitable habitat, which resulted in its listing and made an inaccurate analysis of threats,” Ethan Lane, executive director of National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and Public Lands Council, said in a press release. “As a result, many of the natural resource industries in the West have been harmed, especially family ranchers.”

But it’ll take some time before anything shifts for the cuckoo.

“We are launching a process that will take a year or two to complete to evaluate whether or not action needs to be taken,” Norris says. “So for now, the species is on the list and protected by the [Endangered Species] Act.”

Some students create in young adult fiction, some in sci-fi, and there’s even noir thriller in the mix. “The only thing everyone shares,” Davis says, “is an interest in language and craft.

MUSIC MUN/23 BRING IN THE NOISE Those who would shrink at the prospect of a noise show may just be doing themselves a disservice.

Perhaps they take the harsher meaning of the word’s etymology and reduce it into a simplistic “This isn’t for me!” viewpoint. People like this are missing out—it’s still music. “[Noise is] music— sound—made without the tonal and rhythmic constraints of traditional music,” The Uninvited Guest’s Carlos Santistevan tells SFR. In other words: Shit might be out-there, but New Mexico musicians like Santistevan and Bigawatt plus Los Angeles’ William Hutson and White Boy Scream are merely pushing boundaries, creating something new from an informed stance and changing how we create and consume sonic offerings.

EVENT SUN/22

Rock ‘n’ Roll for Human Rights Local bands benefit Santa Fe immigrants Get ready to rock for a good cause. Brian Hardgroove, who is currently on hiatus from his usual gig as Public Enemy’s bass player, collaborates with other local bands for a concert benefitting the Santa Fe Dreamers Project, a nonprofit which provides legal protection services for immigrants across the state.

Stand & Rock 4 Immigrants is the second in a series that kicked off in the wake of the Dakota Access Pipeline conflict.

Last year, Hardgroove organized a performance that included actor Wes Studi, pianist Andy Kingston and performing arts group Drums for Peace, with proceeds going to legal and medical expenses for water protectors. This year, Hardgroove was moved by the forceful family separation taking place at the US-Mexico border.

“I have a 17-year-old daughter,” he tells SFR. “I can’t imagine what it would be like to be taken away from her.”

On the roster are three local acts, including Hardgroove’s own soulful Impulse Groove Foundation. Nosotros, meanwhile, has a Latin sound with a touch of electric guitar and bass that makes their songs irresistibly danceable, with material ranging from Dia de los Muertos serenades to poppy, saxophone-laced tunes. Closing out the lineup is Santa Fe scene newcomer Zay Santos, whose bluesy style falls more into the category of traditional rock

complete with growly lyrics and twangy guitar.

But the live music won’t be the only attraction at the free event. Hardgroove tells SFR there will be mural painting for those who want to join in, as well as Dreamers Project information booths and food trucks with ice cream, paletas and tacos if you get hungry from all that dancing. Because there will be dancing.

“This isn’t an event where it’s just about the performers,” Hardgroove explains.

“People will be expressing their emotions through dance.” Patrons can make donations to the Dreamers Project with cash, checks or credit, as well as via text; plenty of volunteers will be on hand to help with transactions.

“Our goal is to get up into the couple of thousands of people,” Nosotros drummer and manager Dennis Jasso says. “We feel like it’s an important topic today, and we feel there’s a certain like-mindedness of people in Santa Fe that feel the same way that we do. We’re hoping that people will come out and let their voices be heard.”

OPERA

Doctor Atomic at the Santa Fe Opera

BY C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I c o p y e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

lot is riding on Doctor Atomic this summer. In preparation for the opera about the detonation of an atomic bomb in Southern New Mexico in 1945 and the people who made it happen, Santa Fe has drilled down with countless events to explore every aspect of New Mexico’s relationship with technology and, in turn, this opera. Yup’ik choreographer Emily Johnson emphasizes the power of community to heal old wounds; the Tularosa Basin Downwinders Consortium, members of which are featured onstage, have finally had a congressional hearing about reparations; charismatic librettist Peter Sellars seems to believe that poetry has the power to save the world.

However, as someone who believes that society is doomed, the planet is dying and humanity is hopeless, the idealism of those who seem to think Doctor Atomic is some sort of miraculous salve at first irritated, then exhausted, then angered me.

Of course, this production does not exist in a vacuum. This opera is not an escape from the outside world; it is not a safe place (sorry not sorry, Pence). This is an unflinching fling out into the universe.

There’s been much reverential buzz about a ceremonial corn dance performed onstage by members of three nearby Pueblos before the show—but apparently not enough reverence or buzz to get people to sit down and shut up for it. SFO would do well to require ushers to hold patrons

from noisily taking their seats during it.

Much of the opera itself is not beautiful. (I heard a willowy patron sniff on her way out: “There was just no musicality.”)

But, Sellars emphasizes, “This is not an opera that is in any way comfortable. … If this subject matter is ever friendly, it’s wrong.”

Indeed, composer John Adams’ cacophonous and disjointed score is set to sentences like “the 20 triangular faces of an icosahedron intertwined with the 20 pentagonal faces of the dodecahedron” (no really—those lines are sung), drawn largely from FBI surveillance material. The first scene, in which the massive chorus sings Einstein’s theory of special relativity and the cadre of scientists and military personnel debate the science, morality and politics of the bomb, is difficult to get through. A woman a couple rows in front of me left 30 minutes in.

She was a complete idiot for doing so.

unrelenting corn dance, General Groves (Daniel Okulitch) berates meteorologist Frank Hubbard (Tim Mix) for equally unrelenting rain. Like last year, when lawyers became unexpected saviors during the first travel ban, here a weatherman rises to hero status as he argues that they simply should not detonate in such a storm. But Groves feels he has no choice.

All the while, the massive mirrored plutonium sphere hangs ominously above the stage—eerily reminiscent of HAL 9000, dancers and actors often address I can feel it. it, lights shine on it and reflect My mind is back into the audience, an omnipgoing. There is no question otent reminder of what’s gathered us here. Also ever-present are four about it. modern dancers choreographed hauntingly by Johnson. Whoever they are—ancestors, emotions, gods, matriarchy, Pacha Mama, furies, counternarrative, all of the above—the dancers, dressed in reds and oranges in contrast to the ensemble’s cool blues, weave throughout the entire story, sometimes in furious movement, sometimes delicately measured.

And the end, people—oh, the end. An opera that makes me dig my nails into my After the chaotic first scene (which own leg? Sign me up. But I can’t tell you contains precisely none of the poetry with about it. You just need to see it. which Sellars is so obsessed), the story Doctor Atomic is a way toward healmoves into the Oppenheimers’ bedroom ing in the same way that lancing a boil is and from discord to poise; Kitty, sung by a way toward healing.

isiting artist Erika Wanenmacher’s website feels like diving into a three-hour Wikipedia conspiracy wormhole, which is my highest praise.

It’s that same thrill of entanglement, the endorphin hit that floods when someone shows us how the histories we’ve always suspected to be connected really are connected.

Wanenmacher’s upcoming exhibition The Boy’s Room first showed at the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in 2008, and she researched for 10 years before that. The show tells the history of the Erika Human Radiation Experiments conWanenmacher put a decade ducted in the United States from the of research 1940s to the 1970s. She’s constructed into The Boy’s a 1965 boy’s bedroom to represent Room. one of the children Los Alamos doctors employed as test subjects for the effects of radioisotopic iodine—a chemical present in atomic bomb fallout—on the thyroid. Children have more sensitive thyroids than adults and therefore make defter subjects. Doctors volunteered their own children—or other parents volunteered their children; sometimes scout troops participated.

Half-unpacked objects from the show’s first iteration clutter Wanenmacher’s al-

macher moves to take a tiny set of black and white pajamas out of a cardboard box, she becomes visibly upset. “Oh my god, I hate this stuff so much,” she says, closing the box. She calls the year she spent constructing the 2008 show the worst year of her life.

“I had to have this huge protection exhaust spell on me. It was emotionally exhausting,” she says. “It was the first time I ever felt the darkness push back.”

During the 10 intervening years she created her Ditch Witch show, making art out of found objects, “working for the light.” She opened and closed the Ditch Witch store on Baca Street, taught sculpture and worked for Meow Wolf. And she turned down intermittent offers to reinstall The Boy’s Room. When Phil Space’s COURTESY ERIKA WANENMACHER

ready-chaotic studio. To my “How are you?” she responds, “I’m fucking insane!”

Her T-shirt reads, “Satanic Temple: exercise your religious rights,” and she works as we speak, digging through her pockets and presenting objects she picked up walking the acequias that morning. “Welcome to the home of the Ditch Witch,” she says in cheerful greeting, and a moment later she’s on to tinkering with a television set in the center of the studio’s floor—“Power up, fucker.”

Wanenmacher’s fictionalized boy sits in front of this television using a vintage TV tray covered in mushroom clouds.

Wile E Coyote cartoons play on a loop, solarized in black and white and cut with atomic bomb footage. (The scientists used television to keep the children still.) The whole scene is black and white, except a small container of green, glow-in-the-dark resin. The boy is a composite of a child, and deeply personal: “Kind of nerdy, like my brother, sort of crafty,” Wanenmacher says. “A boy scout, because they were big on boy scouts. Science-y. The stuff that I like.”

There is a reason the show’s been packed away for 10 years. When Wanen-

James Hart asked her to consider doing so at his space this summer, she initially told him absolutely not.

“Then I hear myself talking myself into it, in an almost hysterical way,” she says.

This time, Wanenmacher plans to sell pro pieces in an auction and donate the proceeds to Concerned Citizens for Nuclear Safety, the Los Alamos Study Group and Nuke Watch New Mexico. “I don’t want to deal with it any more. So I’m getting rid of it. Tell me what it’s worth. Have at it,” she says. Wanenmacher refers to the piece as “one of the stories I was meant to tell,” but it’s as much an object lesson in the tolls art can take on the artist.

“I hate this stuff so much,” she repeats. di From the sheer quantity and diversity of pieces Wanenmacher has around, I imagine her working in a rushed fugue state, but she tells me she’s actually slow and steady. She compares herself to the tarot card, The Fool, stepping off a cliff, but always keeping one foot grounded. She picks up new media often and easily and then tries to push it to its limits. “I tell stories,” she says. “I can’t help it. I love making stuff and I’m pretty fucking good at it.”

During her research, Wanenmacher found reference to the child test subjects as “child volunteers,” a phrase that reignites her now. “Child volunteers. Child volunteers? C’mon man, they were 6 years old. Child volunteers. … It meshes with our current situation. The nuclear threat, but also, hey, look what we’ll do to children,” she says. “I really would just like all of this to go away, and I mean that in the general sense. But artists, we got to do what we got to do.”

Her next project explores time travel, she tells me. “The emotional effects of time travel,” she muses. “Yeah.”

frequently, this has never happened before, and I certainly didn’t go into it looking for this result.

-Lost Opportunity At De-escalation

I’m a 20-year-old submissive woman. I’m currently in a confusing affair with a 50-year-old dominant married man. He lives in Europe and has two kids close to my age. We met online when I was 17 and starting to explore my BDSM desires— out of the reach of my overbearing, sex-shaming, disastrously religious parents—and we’ve been texting daily ever since. We’ve since met in different countries and spent a total of three weeks together. Those weeks were amazing, both sexually and emotionally, and he says he loves me.

(Some will assume, because of the age difference, that he “groomed” me. He did not.) I date vanilla boys my age, with his full support, while we continue to text daily. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to blow up his family if (or when) our affair is discovered. But at the same time, our relationship has really helped me navigate my kinks and my sexuality. Expecting him to leave his wife for me is a highly unrealistic cliché, I am aware. Yet I fear I’ve become dependent on his conversation and advice. I’m graduating soon and have a big job lined up in a big city. I’ll finally be financially independent, and I’d like to start making the right choices. Any perspective you have would be much appreciated.

-Things Must Improve He is not going to leave his wife for you, and you shouldn’t assume his wife is going to leave him if (or when) this affair is discovered (or exposed).

Divorce may be the default setting in the United States in the wake of an affair, TMI, but Europeans take a much more, well, European attitude toward infidelity. Definitely not cricket, not necessarily fatal.

And you don’t need him to leave his wife for you, TMI. Okay, okay—you’re in love, and the three weeks you’ve managed to spend together were amazing. But don’t fall into the trap of believing a romantic relationship requires a tidy ending; film, television, and literature beat it into our heads that romantic relationships end either happily at the altar (à la Pride and Prejudice) or tragically at the morgue (à la Forensic Files). But romantic relationships take many forms, TMI, as does romantic success. And this relationship, such as it is, this relationship as-is, sounds like an ongoing success.

In other words, TMI, I think you’re confused about this relationship because there won’t be a resolution that fits into a familiar mold. But you don’t need a resolution: You can continue to text with him, and he can continue to provide you with his advice and support while you continue to date single, available, and kinky men (no more vanilla boys!) closer to your own age and/or on your own continent. Eventually you’ll meet a new guy you’re crazy about—someone you can see for more than one week a year—and you’ll feel less dependent on and connected to your old flame.

While on vacation, I went for a full body massage. The first half of the massage—me on my stomach—was great. When the masseuse asked me to flip on my back, things took a turn. She uncovered one of my legs and began massaging my thigh. As she worked on my inner thigh, her finger grazed my scrotum. Then it happened again. And again. She was working on my thigh, but it felt like I was getting my balls caressed.

I began to worry I was getting a visible erection.

Then I started to panic when I felt like I might actually come. (I have always had issues with premature ejaculation.) I tried hard to clamp down and think about baseball and senior citizens, but I wound up having an orgasm. She eventually moved to my arms, shoulders, etc., but meanwhile I’m lying there with jizz cooling on myself. Am I guilty of #metoo bad behavior? Should I have said something or asked her to stop? Is it possible she didn’t have any clue? (My penis was never uncovered and I didn’t create an obvious wet spot on the sheet.) I tipped her extra, just in case she was mortified, though I didn’t get the sense she was because nothing changed after I came in terms of her massaging me. (She didn’t hurry away from my legs or rush to finish my massage.) I still feel really weird about the whole thing. I get massages

If it all went down as you described, LOAD, you aren’t guilty of “#metoo bad behavior.” It’s not uncommon for people to become unintentionally aroused during a nonerotic massage; it’s more noticeable when it happens to men, of course, but it happens to women, too. “Erections do happen,” a masseuse told me when I ran your letter past her.

“So long as guys don’t suddenly ask for a ‘happy ending,’ expose themselves, or—God help me— attempt to take my hand and place it on their erection, they haven’t done anything wrong.”

Since this hasn’t happened to you before, LOAD, I don’t think you should waste too much time worrying about it happening again. But if you’re concerned this one massage created a powerful erotic association and you’re likely to blow a load the next time a masseuse so much as looks at one of your thighs, go ahead and have a quick wank before your appointment.

Living my truth permits others in my fairly conservative circles—Christian family struggling to accept a gay son, colleagues in a traditionally masculine field—to accept gay/other/different folks. I identify as a bottom, and until recently I thought I had erectile dysfunction because I would literally go soft at the thought of topping another man. I should mention that I’m black in the Pacific Northwest, so there is this odd “BBC” fixation and an expectation from many guys that I will top.

However, I am usually very submissive and drawn to hypermasculine, dominant guys. But I recently noticed an attraction to married guys—specifically, submissive bottom masculine/muscular married guys who like to wear lingerie. I met a few and became this dominant guy who fit the stereotype most guys expect when they see me online or in person. Now I’m very confused. I tried topping recently, because a married guy begged me to. He said, “You’ll never know if you like it until you try it!” Which is the same thing my traditional uncles have said to me about women. My life would be so much easier if I just married a woman! So this sudden turn from bottom to top is troubling me.

I don’t think it is possible to turn straight, but I didn’t think I was a top until a few weeks ago. So am I capable of turning straight? That would validate everything my homophobic family members have said. I’m repulsed by vaginas but fascinated by boobs. Have you seen/heard of things like this?

-Praying The Straight Away If you’re a regular reader, PTSA, you’ve seen letters in this space from straight-identified guys into cock.

Many of these guys have described themselves as being fascinated by cock but repulsed by men; some of these guys seek out sex with trans women who’ve kept their dicks. Your thing for hot guys in lingerie and your thing for boobs might be the gay flip of this erotic script—boobs fascinate you, but you’re not into the genitalia most women have.

Muscular guys in lingerie turn you on—big pecs can fill out a lacy bra just as alluringly as big boobs— and it’s possible you might enjoy being with a trans woman who got boobs but kept her dick.

All that said, PTSA, discovering after years of bottoming that you enjoy topping certain types of men—masculine/muscular married guys who beg for your dick while wearing lingerie—doesn’t mean you’re “capable” of turning straight. Going from bottom to versatile isn’t the same thing as going from men to women. And being fascinated by a body part that typically comes attached to people, i.e., women, who fall outside your usual “erotic target interest,” as the sex researchers say, isn’t a sign that your uncles were right all along.

In short, PTSA, you aren’t potentially straight— you’re gay and a little more complicated, interesting, and expansive than you realized at first.

P.S. On behalf of all the dudes who have objectified you with this “BBC” stuff and made you feel anything other than proud to be primarily a bottom, please accept my apology.

 LUCY BELLWOOD

In the new book 100 Demon Dialogues, comics writer/ artist Lucy Bellwood spent 100 days examining her own inner voices and demons. Imposter syndrome, catastrophizing, just plain being mean to oneself—all find their way into the compendium of one-panels wherein Bellwood’s anthropomorphized demon, living outside of her, attempts to derail, deflate and otherwise imprison Bellwood in a quagmire of negativity. Nothing doing. Instead, Bellwood harnessed this voice as creative catalyst, facing the demon head-on. Bellwood appears at Big Adventure Comics On Wednesday July 18 (5 pm, free. 418 Montezuma Ave., 992-8783). Find an extended version of this interview online at SFReporter.com. (Alex De Vore) Did doing the book make you feel better?

I definitely grokked the fact that this project is self therapy for me. It’s very much a way to soothe when things are difficult. I first did a comic with a character that looked like this [demon] character in 2012. I was dealing with the same shit creatively that I’m dealing with now, like having a hard time balancing my business work and creative work. My creative drive was drying up, and it felt like nothing I was doing was good enough. I did this comic about facing these problems at this drawing gathering I used to host. I thought if I drew something, I’d feel better, and if the only thing I could draw was a comic about not knowing what to draw, even that would be better. I used it as an excuse to make art.

So you’re pretty happy-go-lucky now? Whistiling a tune and skipping down the street?

I totally get that sense of ‘Oh, good, there are no more problems now!’ But I am different for having done that project. I am definitely a different person for having talked to so many people about the project. It highlighted some things I hadn’t realized speak to me the most about the kind of creative work I want to be making. I don’t want to say relatable content, because that’s a very buzz-wordy phrase, but something that allows people to be seen. I hadn’t categorized anything else I’d done with with that. I knew people defined my work as relatable or emotionally moving, but it became apparent that I was talking about stuff people weren’t traditionally comfortable talking about.

Do people start to feel ownership of you, or like you owe them some kind of emotional labor because you’re talking about these things?

It’s a tricky thing doing confessional stuff on the internet. You don’t know who’s reading it, you don’t know what kind of experience they’re having. I knock wood, generally, that I have suffered very minimal internet shit. That’s partly me; I’m not super incendiary online.

I try to be constructive and supportive. I don’t pick fights. It’s not that I’m silent on matters that matter to me, I’m just not a very provocative person. There are times I feel it’s an emotional failing, but the people who I follow [online] who make me feel capable of activism are positive and encouraging ... by and large the response I’ve gotten for this project has been unbelievable.

first encountered the wines of Milagro Vineyards years ago on the shelves at Whole Foods; an unassuming bottle with a pig on the label dressed up in a bow tie. Turns out the pig was famous—at least on the farm in Corrales where winemakers Rick and Mitzi Hobson grow grapes, make wine and rescue animals in their spare time.

“When we chose our label of Wilbur— our house pig of 15 years—it was to be temporary until we got our ‘real’ label,” Rick Hobson tells SFR. “We spent a week with a label artist who advised us to ‘keep the pig.’

He said, ‘He fits you—serious about your wine but not serious about who you are.’”

And though the Hobsons are humble about their product, they remain steadily committed to providing New Mexico with a boutique style of wine among the best made in the state. I’ve brought Milagro wines to numerous blind tastings that invariably end with the shocking reveal of how much elegance a wine from a tiny farm in Corrales can deliver.

The Hobsons’ location in the tiny, beautiful village outside Albuquerque was chosen by design. “We knew in our ‘second chapter,’ we wanted to move to a more rural area and do something purposeful,” Rick explains. Prior to starting Milagro in 1985, he owned a sales engineering com-

hot New Mexican sun. Standouts include a 2016 grüner veltliner for $26, which tastes remarkably crisp and fresh, with flavors of ripe pear and green apple supported by a firm backbone of acidity. It has a slight note of celery and watercress, making it a great accompaniment for salads and vegetable-based dishes. Their 2010 merlot ($27) has a restrained but velvety texture, with notes of blueberry and cherry balanced out by herbaceous undercurrrents of tobacco and bell pepper. It is a far cry from most of the overwrought fruit bombs that pass for merlot in the wine world at large today.

Future plans include a mouvedre and a pinot noir, which is currently aging in-barrel. The winery generates some single-vineyard bottlings as well, including a chardonnay and zinfandel from select parcels in the Old Church Vineyard, one of the winery’s best sites for the two varieties. Their 2013 zinfandel ($28) is one of the best wines in their lineup— light on its feet, with a silky smooth texture and pretty raspberry and blackberry flavors backed by notes of cardamom and clove. The Hobsons also make a Red Cuvée from the Franklin Vineyard in Corrales with vines dating back to the 1970s. Frost damage has impeded their ability to make consistent wine from those, but despite the setbacks, the Hobsons are optimistic about the future of their winery. They’re steadfast in their belief that New Mexico has the potential to make fabulous wine.

pany in Albuquerque after attending graduate school at the University of New Mexico for chemical engineering. Mitzi worked for Wilson Learning Corporation teaching sales and communication. Both attended classes at UC Davis, and eventually their shared passion and expertise started to bear fruit—turns out chemical engineering and communication make for a fortuitous combination if your goal is owning a winery.

When the Hobsons began to use French oak barrels to craft their wines (a staple in Old World winemaking, with a standard capacity of 59 gallons), production swelled beyond what was allowed for an amateur winery. Milagro was reclassified as commercial in 1999. Depending on the vintage, Milagro produces 200 to 2,000 cases a year, and this year the Hobsons are aiming for 800 to 1,000 cases.

So what makes Milagro wine so good? All the grapes are estate-grown, which gives the couple a particular level of quality control.

yard than the winery, so we want to raise all the grapes that go into our wine,” Mitzi says. “One of our goals is to see what New Mexico can produce if you don’t cut corners.”

The couple farms 6 acres of their own land and raises grapes on another 4-5 acres belonging to other Corrales residents. It totals out to 15 different vineyards growing approximately 3,000 vines.

Given the US wine-labelling laws, which mandate only 75 percent of the grapes in a bottle of wine actually need to come from the stated viticultural area, this kind of estate bottling is a serious step toward actually expressing a sense of terroir. Late spring frosts are the biggest challenge in the vineyards, although they find the intense summertime sunlight aids grape ripeness while a major diurnal shift from day to night helps pre preserve structure and acidity.

The dry conditions are a natural barrier against disease and pests, limiting the winery’s need to use pesticides.

But things don’t always turn out right—Milagro lost all its cab cabernet franc and cabernet sauvi sauvignon to frost in 2011, and are still trying to regrow those vines.

“Sometimes you pay your money and take your chanc chances,” Rick says. “There’s a lot of gambling.”

Beyond Milagro’s range of table wines is a combination of the usual suspects and some outliers, such as the expected Rhône grapes that thrive in hot, dry conditions, and a few cool-climate varieties that are doing shockingly well under the

BEST MOVIE EVER

Following in the footsteps of Elvis Presley

BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

The lead-up to the 2016 presidential election horrified half the country or more, forcing into mainstream discussion whether the republic itself would atrophy as badly as the American dream already had. To illustrate the derangement, filmmaker Eugene Jarecki (Freakonomics, Why We Fight) laid hands on Elvis Presley’s shitbox of a 1963 Rolls Royce, retrofitted it with cameras and drove across the nation as Americans considered whether to send Donald Trump to the White House.

Jarecki slapped Elvis’ life, career and deathon-a-toilet over the nation’s sordid history, visiting living rooms in the King’s birthplace of Tupelo, Mississippi, filling the backseat of the Rolls with a parade of incredible musicians and piping in sad interview clips of Elvis lamenting his loneliness to tell viewers that capitalism will eventually eat itself. David Simon (creator of The Wire and current Twitter exile) complains that Jarecki should’ve used one of Elvis’ madein-America Cadillacs—the Rolls breaks down several times, notably with alt-country growler

JUMP CUTS; CHUCK D STANDING

Mary Gauthier about to belt out a tune in the back seat.

Van Jones (former Obama aide, current CNN host) bigfoots Jarecki, schooling him up on how Elvis was nothing more than cultural appropriation personified; Public Enemy’s Chuck D says fuck all that, “culture is culture,” but stands by the famous lyric from “Fight the Power:” “Elvis was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me you see, straight-up racist that sucker was.”

The film’s exploration of massive, difficult themes is nakedly ambitious, as was Elvis’ insatiable grab for money, fame and everything that comes with them. Ethan Hawke appears to have made much of the trip with Jarecki, and Hawke tosses a bow around the metaphor by describing Elvis as a perfect symbol for

imperial America, whose chief export once was democracy but now is capitalism. It’s probably a reach, and the comparison struggles in spots— though the surprise of it and the interspersal of old footage of everything from the Vietnam war to Elvis’ final performance delighted us.

The nighttime shots make the film luxurious and drippy, and Jarecki has sorted a way to stitch together a million jump cuts without making us dizzy. But this is no happy repackaging of either the Presley or American myths. Still, EmiSunshine wailing away in the back of that Rolls brings just enough feels to even the scales.

+ SNEAKS UP ON YOU; MAGIC REALISM - SOME LOOSE THREADS; SOME SUPERFLUOUS SCENES

Fans of Donald Glover’s bizarrely brilliant TV series Atlanta will no doubt recognize Lakieth Stanfield (also of Get Out fame) as the sidekick to Paper Boi, Darius. As Cassius in Sorry to Bother You from writer/director Boots Riley, Stanfield brings a similar subtle vulnerability to his first big-screen starring role.

Cassius is a struggling Oakland resident with an artsy girlfriend who is probably too good for him (Westworld’s Tessa Thompson in white might be her most natural performance yet), a goofy pal and a new job with a multitiered telemarketing firm. But when his lowpaid coworkers attempt to unionize, Cassius is forced to choose between standing on the side of what’s right or finally making a decent living.

As always, those in power wind up being evil.

With a little help from screen vet Danny Glover, Stanfield’s character adopts a white voice (David Cross) to help close sales.

His stats skyrocket and he is thrust into the highest echelons of the company—a place where his boss (played by Common and voiced

Sorry to Bother You is one of the funniest, weirdest and best movies of the year.

SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO

by Patton Oswalt) can spin arms sales and legalized slavery as good things, a place where one of the telemarketing firm’s clients (Armie Hammer) spouts off-handed racist claptrap and spearheads an utterly dark special project.

Cassius becomes unfortunately privy to said project and hijinks ensue, yes, but also social commentary and terrifyingly strange conditions punctuate the sad-funny jabs at modern America.

Sorry to Bother You transforms just before the final act from an Office Space-esque riffing on contemporary office culture to a silly— though not entirely unthinkable—nightmare akin to Jordan Peele’s critically adored Get Out. The film’s descent into glorious controlled chaos is so sudden and jarring that we don’t have time to catch our breath before we are forced to accept the sci-fi lite absurdity. And we do so with relish; empathizing with Cassius as a man who finally felt like someone, but hating him for how he does it; fearing the corporatization of everything under the sun and the subsequent deregulated madness, but identifying with the powerlessness of the working class all through the fever dream insanity of Cassius’ meteoric rise and humiliating fall.

+ FEELS SO GOOD TO BE RIGHT - PRETTY HEAVY-HANDED AT TIMES

A baby-faced American soldier, wheelchairbound, glides silently across a courtroom floor and explains to a judge that he was boots-onthe-ground in Iraq for precisely three hours when a roadside IED tore through his squad, severing his spinal cord and killing the rest.

“How the hell does this happen?” he angrily asks.

This question is at the center of Rob Reiner’s Shock and Awe, a drama about the post-9/11 era of Bush-Cheney, the occupation of Iraq and the dangerous implications of a government lying to its people. But it’s also a tale of heroic journalism against seemingly insurmountable odds and a sort of earlyaughts parallel to that most famous newspaper movie of all time, All the President’s Men. It’s here we meet Warren Strobel (James Marsden) and Jonathan Landay (Woody Harrelson), two very real KnightRidder journos who unearthed the absurd motivations behind war in the Middle East post-9/11 despite a shocking lack of evidence, alongside their valiant chief editor John Walcott (Reiner). As the rest of the country’s mainstream media pushes out the government’s false narrative (remember when the New York Times apologized to its readers?), Strobel and Landay follow the actual facts, reporting the truth as their friends and family and even the American public doubt their credibility and work.

Today, of course, we know these men to have been right—Hussein may have been evil, but he certainly didn’t possess WMDs, nor was he in cahoots with Bin Laden; Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz and Bush and Cheney were … well, fuck ’em, we should’ve been in Afghanistan—the point is, these journalists were right and eventually acknowledged for their fine work and bravery. God bless the Fourth Estate, right?

Still, for every satisfying moment or silly little in-joke about copy editing, there are truly perplexing choices. Like if the journalist Joe Galloway (Tommy Lee Jones) was so vital to Strobel and Landay’s ongoing good work, why is the role relegated to a few tired lines about how he’s old or how glory is for the young folk? And that war veteran from before?

We catch snippets of his journey from small town boy to disabled former soldier, but as far as Shock and Awe’s “they’re sending your kids to a needless death!” agenda goes, it seems painfully underdeveloped and all too brief. Borderline emotionally manipulative,

even. Perhaps Reiner was really just looking to illustrate his point—y’know, to really drive it home—but they feel like scenes from a different film. And besides, we were pissed off enough already.

Shock and Awe paints a fine history lesson, though, and a provides a good reminder that the good old US of A would be a hell of a lot more terrifying if there weren’t brave newspaper folk who’ve made it their lives’ work to shine a light on powerful assholes being assholes. Wow. Who would’ve thought a movie about kickass journalism would resonate with us? (Alex De Vore) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 90 min.

ANT MAN AND THE WASP

+ RUDD RULES; TINY STUFF IS SO FUN - WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS STUFF AGAIN? A RIDICULOUS REASON? OK, COOL.

With the recent spate of Marvel Studios films erring toward the awfully serious (obviously not counting Guardians of the Galaxy 2 or Thor: Ragnarok, itself basically a Guardians movie), it’s always enjoyable when things get a little less heavy-handed and more outlandishly fun. And that’s what the Ant Man series has already become known for, thanks to celebrated character actor and all-around charmer Paul Rudd as the onetime thief Scott Lang.

Previously, Lang and his buds Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and Pym’s daughter Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) foiled the evil Yellowjacket, a villain who tried to turn Pym’s shrink-a-majig technology into weaponized paraphernalia for shadowy governments and the like. This time, however, it’s a rescue mission when we learn that Pym’s wife Janet (Michelle Pfieffer) was thrust into the quantum void (now that’s small, baby!) 30-ish years ago, but maybe she’s still alive even though she’d obviously have no access to food or water, but whatever—this is Marvel, motherfucker.

The bad news, though, is that Lang is stuck serving out a two-year house arrest sentence because of his escapades in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War (the government has laws that work against superheroes doing superhero stuff). But when a mysterious baddie called Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen) shows up to try and steal the aforementioned Pym tech, Lang and the gang have to hit the streets to do stuff. Caught up? Good.

Rudd, who also co-wrote the script, is as wonderful as ever, a great combination of magnetic jokester and former criminal with a heart of gold. His posse (played here by Michael Peña, Tip “TI” Harris and some guy who isn’t a celebrity yet so who cares?) enters

If this feels like a lot of exposition, it is. Ant Man and The Wasp is, in fact, mostly characters explaining things between fight scenes that, while fun, most often don’t really need to happen. If these people can shrink and enlarge at will, why do they ever bother fighting to retrieve things instead of sneaking in and out? It’s certainly thrilling to watch Ghost phase in and out of existence, but her backstory feels more like a tacked-on bit of trivia than a true motivator. Alas, as well, for the ultra-talented Laurence Fishburne’s appearance is minimal and tangental at best; Douglas is onscreen way too much and Lilly is dimensionless and bland.

Thank goodness for Rudd, then, as he can carry just about anything and look great while doing it. We know that looks shouldn’t matter, but let’s face it—they do. And in the end, we get another little slice of the overall Marvel universe, a respite from the melodrama and another summertime jam in a nice, cool theater.

SICARIO: DAY OF THE SOLDADO

nosed teenagers whose cousins think it’s a good idea to turn them into illegal border crossing guides. Woof.

What hurts the most is the first hour’s riveting setup and execution. We kind of love-hate Brolin’s character, Matt-something, but we also hate terrorists so, like, who’s the real bad guy here? We even start to develop a connection with the kidnapped cartel princess, which is right around the time the pacing slows to a slog and the players start to develop a collective conscience of some kind. Or do they? No, seriously—I’m asking.

As always, Del Toro is pretty great and Brolin really has perfected his disaffected tough guy shtick, but when a fantastic character actor like Catherine Keener is underused to the tune of pointlessness and the rest of the characters don’t even get names outside of, probably, Shadowy Soldier 3, it stings. Director Stefano Sollima (you don’t know him, promise) does his best, and there are some downright gorgeous shots of the desert, but Sicario: Day of the Soldado loses us right at the moment we’d been hooked.

+ KILLER BEGINNING; LANDSCAPES - THE SLOW BUT SURE DESCENT INTO BORING

I didn’t see the first Sicario movie. It was just one of those things where every time I had the chance I was like, “Eh, not in the mood.” The real downside of this, though, was that all of my “movie expert” buddies gave me long-winded speeches about how it was a glorious new take on the mafia movie (or something), and that Benicio del Toro was, like, so totally good. I still haven’t seen it.

In the sequel, we join the clandestine world of shadowy government operatives who totally shift international power balances for the US government by doing subterfuge and torturing modern-day pirates and stuff.

A returning Josh Brolin is one such guy—the kind of fixer who gets called in when the chips are down and gross stuff needs doing. This is why the Secretary of Defense (played here by Matthew Modine, who is presumably enjoying some Stranger Things heat) sends him to Mexico to kidnap a cartel king’s daughter so said cartel will start a war with some other cartel. My dumb friends could probably tell you the girl’s dad did something in the first movie, but I’ll just tell you that Alejandro (Del Toro) wants revenge on this sucker, so he gets involved, too.

But nothing ever goes as planned in movies (that’s pretty much the whole thing about movies), and as the sneaky cartel war kickoff party goes awry, we learn all kinds of nasty things about the cartels and America and even snot-

ELIZABETH, EMILY, ELLIOT, EDWARD, EDISON and ERIK were all rescued from a mobile home park ELIZABETH near Española. We believe they are from two related litters rather than from the same litter. They were all thin and very hungry, but have been steadily gaining weight.

TEMPERAMENT: All the kittens are very playful and love to wrestle. The kittens must go with a sibling or to a home with another playful cat or kitten.

ELIZABETH loves people and wants to be your lap cat. She wants to be held, petted, hugged – all day long if possible! She’ll wrap around your neck and give you a hug. ELIZABETH is a beautiful girl with dilute tortoiseshell markings. ERIK is a handsome boy ERIK with gray tabby markings.

AGE: Born approximately 4/24/18.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of July 18th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are magic.” Whenever that quote appears on the Internet, it’s falsely attributed to painter Frida Kahlo. In fact, it was originally composed by poet Marty McConnell. In any case, I’ll recommend that you heed it in the coming weeks. You really do need to focus on associating with allies who see the mysterious and lyrical best in you. I will also suggest that you get inspired by a line that Frida Kahlo actually wrote: “Take a lover who looks at you like maybe you are a bourbon biscuit.” (If you don’t know what a bourbon biscuit is, I’ll tell you: chocolate buttercream stuffed between two thin rectangular chocolate biscuits.)

ahead of time is because now is a good time to get a foreshadowing of how to proceed. You can glean insights on where to begin your work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Here’s what author Franz Kafka wrote in his diary on August 2, 1914: “Germany has declared war on Russia. I went swimming in the afternoon.” We could possibly interpret his nonchalance about world events to be a sign of callous self-absorption. But I recommend that you cultivate a similar attitude in the coming weeks. In accordance with astrological omens, you have the right and the need to shelter yourself from the vulgar insanity of politics and the pathological mediocrity of mainstream culture. So feel free to spend extra time focusing on your own well-being. (P.S.: Kafka’s biographer says swimming served this role for him. It enabled him to access deep unconscious reserves of pleasurable power that renewed his spirit.)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Am I delusional to advise a perky, talkative Gemini like yourself to enhance your communication skills? How dare I even hint that you’re not quite perfect at a skill you were obviously born to excel at? But that’s exactly what I’m here to convey.

The coming weeks will be a favorable time to take inventory of how you could more fully develop your natural ability to exchange information. You’ll be in robust alignment with cosmic rhythms if you take action to refine the way you express your own messages and receive and respond to other people’s messages.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Self-described skeptics sometimes say to me, “How can any intelligent person believe in astrology? You must be suffering from a brain dysfunction if you imagine that the movements of planets can reveal any useful clues about our lives.” If the “skeptic” is truly open-minded, as an authentic skeptic should be, I offer a mini-lecture to correct his misunderstandings. If he’s not (which is the usual case), I say that I don’t need to “believe” in astrology; I use astrology because it works. For instance, I have a working hypothesis that Cancerians like myself enjoy better-than-average insight and luck with money every year from late July through the month of August. It’s irrelevant whether there’s a “scientific” theory to explain why this might be.

I simply undertake efforts to improve my financial situation at this time, and I’m often successful.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Here are some of the fine gifts you’re eligible for and even likely to receive during the next four weeks: a more constructive and fluid relationship with obsession; a panoramic look at what lies below the tip of the metaphorical iceberg; a tear-jerking joyride that cracks open your sleeping sense of wonder; erasure of at least 20 percent of your self-doubt; vivid demonstrations of the excitement available from slowing down and taking your sweet time; and a surprising and useful truth delivered to your soul by your body.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A reader asked Libran blogger Ana-Sofia Cardelle, “How does one become more sensual?” I’ll ask you to meditate on the same question. Why? Because it’s a good time to enrich and deepen your sensuality. For inspiration, here are some ideas that blend my words with Cardelle’s: “Laugh easily and freely. Tune in to the rhythm of your holy animal body as you walk. Sing songs that remind you why you’re here on earth. Give yourself the luxury of reading books that thrill your imagination and fill you with fresh questions. Eat food with your fingers. Allow sweet melancholy to snake through you. Listen innocently to people, being warm-hearted and slyly wild. Soak up colors with your eager eyes. Whisper grateful prayers to the sun as you exult in its gifts.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “If people aren’t laughing at your goals, your goals are too small.” So says bodybuilder Kai Greene. I don’t know if I would personally make such a brazen declaration, but I do think it’s worth considering -- especially for you right now. You’re entering into the Big Bold Vision time of your astrological cycle. It’s a phase when you’ll be wise to boost the intensity of your hopes for yourself, and get closer to knowing the ultimate form of what you want, and be daring enough to imagine the most sublime possible outcomes for your future. If you do all that with the proper chutzpah, some people may indeed laugh at your audacity. That’s OK!

CONSCIOUSNESS

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): This mini-chapter in your epic life story is symbolically ruled by the fluttering flights of butterflies, the whirring hum of hummingbird wings, the soft cool light of fireflies, and the dawn dances of seahorses. To take maximum advantage of the blessings life will tease you with in the coming weeks, I suggest you align yourself with phenomena like those. You will tend to be alert and receptive in just the right ways if you cultivate a love of fragile marvels, subtle beauty, and amazing grace.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you do me a favor, please? Would you do your friends and loved ones and the whole world a favor? Don’t pretend you’re less powerful and beautiful than you are. Don’t downplay or neglect the magic you have at your disposal. Don’t act as if your unique VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): During the last three months of 2018, I suspect you will dismantle or outgrow genius is nothing special. OK?

evalleyshelter.org • petango.com/espanola Scooby Doo has lived in the same home for all his life and would love a home where he can continue to just to be happy and loved. He is a sweet boy with a great personality. We’re pretty confident he is house-trained and have some basic skills as well. Although he’s got a little bit of age on him, this sweetie still has plenty of love to spread around. Scooby Doo can get an attitude but at the age of 15yrs old who wouldn’t. But when he is cuddling up to you all that attitude will fly out the door and it will be you and Scooby Doo time.

Stop by the shelter and meet him.

Scooby Doo

Valerie was left in our overnight box and we noticed she didn’t look like she felt too good.

She tested positive for parvo-disease so we began treatment immediately. Luckily, this girl was strong enough to beat it and she’s feeling 100% better today!

In fact she’s ready to find a new home.

She just recovered from parvo disease and there’s a chance she could shed the disease to young dogs or dogs that have not been vaccinated, for this reason she should be adopted to a home with adult, vaccinated dogs only. Valerie is about 8 months old.
