NEWS, AUG. 30: “THINKIN’ OF A MASTER PLAN”

MAKE IT BETTER Thank God. Our airport is not up to standard.

KERRY J YOUNG VIA FACEBOOK

*AIRPORT* ROAD ...

I live off Airport Road and I would say that both the noise and frequency of these planes has increased 20x in the past five years, and it’s making Santa Fe more and more metropolitan every day ... a sad development for our city. So much for our sleepy “City Different”...

BRETT DAVIS VIA FACEBOOK

DRIVE TO DUKE CITY The benefits of keeping [the airport] in Albuquerque are: 1. No noise or roaring booms as they take off over homes or the city.

2. No air pollution from jet engines, and no additional ground traffic from air traffic.

3. We keep our city under control.

Residents don’t have to pay for the associated air services so the rich to fly in.

4. We don’t have to increase taxes to support the affluent whose vacation homes cause property taxes to rise, forcing locals out.

5. We don’t have to build newer, bigger roads to service the airport. We don’t have to pay for airport hangars and security and personnel. ...

6. All our local charm slowly goes away when you allow jumbo jets and conveniences for the rich. ...

7. We don’t contribute to the global environmental problem. ... Jet airplanes leave noxious pollution in the sky every mile they fly and a big burst of pollution on take off. And they leave a toxic mess to transport fuel etc to our airport. ...

We are a treasure of local and small.

Keep the big planes and all the things they bring with them in the larger airports where they belong. Don’t increase my taxes under the pretense of needing a larger airport.

LYNN ALLEN SFREPORTER.COM

UNPLEASANT? This is a fantastic little airport that connects Santa Feans to the rest of the country and avoids having to use the unpleasant airport in Albuquerque.

Why not spend the mentioned minimum to upgrade the two runways and then see whether more expenditure is warranted?

The Enthusiast

Mountains Calling Whether it’s a timeless pursuit or an urgent summons is a matter of perspective

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

B

y the time we reached the summit ridge, the persistent cough that had been funny as we hiked uphill had converted to a rattling wheeze accompanying every inhale, and my head was splitting.

I’d long since begun to question my “just push through it,” attitude, which had me hiking a pair of 14,000-foot-tall peaks in Colorado despite a lingering cold.

We kept ascending toward the peaks first sketched as dark outlines against the star-filled sky when we started hiking at 4:30 am, and then slowly lit by a pink sunrise. After scrambling past a mirrored lake, then uphill on steep ground, I began to question the wisdom of my choices. As I paused for a rest, the hiker I’d seen trailing us most of the morning caught up and asked if we’d mind if he joined us for a break. He remarked on the line we’d chosen, which wandered from the class two route onto more vertical class three and four terrain, but generally seemed to like the excitement and stuck with us the rest of the day.

At some point on a descent that saw us once again scrambling through loose scree and down-climbing around boulders, Woody, who is from Pagosa Springs, mentioned this was just his second season hiking Colorado’s highest peaks. He’d been to the top of 16 last year, and 14 already this summer, with hopes to see two more summits before the end of the season. He commented on us “waiting for the geriatric,” but really, I wasn’t moving much faster. We’d reach the car after more than 15 hours of hiking, finishing just as the sun was setting.

These were my first two 14ers this year. It has been a summer largely con-

sumed by supporting my family and then leaning on my own support network of friends. While I am trying to revel in the company and enjoy those short hikes I take with family, I’ve found myself missing my own epic quests in the mountains. The result of the deprivation is to turn those few days I do get to head out into massive undertakings that push every line.

I hiked a gorgeous trail that traversed an alpine ridge from views of the burnished sandstone canyons to the open plains, and shared the mountaintop only with bighorn sheep and elk. Then, I searched alone for a route that kept fading out in the tundra, then became mired in downed trees. By the time I made it home, I wasn’t walking straight. Another day took me 10 miles in the morning through the peaks at the southern edge of the Sangre de Cristos and then 6 more miles of stand-up paddle boarding on the Rio Grande. I was so tired that night I didn’t eat dinner.

I’m binging as though the mountains will not all still be there next summer, or maybe as a byproduct of the grief that has struck my family this year. I’m out there not to chase something, but to shake what’s chasing me. Whatever it is, it has put me in a hurry.

And here’s Woody, who has a couple decades on me, just picking up a sport that has shaped my to-do list since my mother carried me up my first 14er when I was 3 years old. He has his tick list and his to-do list, and peace with what may never move from one to the other. In peering uphill, in following two strangers into the unknown on a line that may not go, what I see in him is an open-heartedness to the journey and patience to endure its let-downs. I want so much to own a share of that.

Instead, days later, the compulsion for peaks again has me hiking toward a summit while snow pelts my jacket, returning to the car as sundown rims the clouds in gold, and thinking that perhaps the way to go about ticking those last two Collegiate Peaks left on my list will be to ski them this winter.

Why New Mexico isn’t sending an urban search and rescue team to help: Ours is nonexistent

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

S

eeing pictures of the flooding and fallout from Hurricane Harvey is hard for Santa Fe Fire Department Assistant Chief Jan Snyder. He seems to be a rescue guy at heart. While his city job is largely administrative now, Snyder can’t help but think back to when he was one of those people wading into a disaster with a confidence borne from knowing you can help.

More than 220 men and women made up New Mexico Task Force One; doctors and nurses, firefighters and paramedics, K9 searchers and even accountants.

Split into three teams who were ready to deploy to a disaster like a tornado, a building collapse or massive flooding in just hours, NMTF1 was part of an elite Federal Emergency Management Agency network of less than 30 teams.

For the last decade of its existence, the New Mexico task force could not get its act together. There was expertise, no question; hours and days of training.

But the team’s last deployment was to Hurricane Rita in 2005. Its recordkeeping and administration under the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management was so bad that FEMA suspended New Mexico Task Force One before eventually defunding and removing it from the national response network in late 2015.

“It’s frustrating,” Snyder says of sitting on the sidelines now. But it was harder sitting on the sidelines while the task force still existed; scores of team members trained and waiting. “It’s not that we lost the capability to act; we lost the capability to respond. … Sometimes we’d

sit here and watch [the FEMA task force from] Phoenix drive by on their way to Texas. Or watch Colorado drive through.”

New Mexico Homeland Security Secretary Jay Mitchell told a TV station last year that he felt his department would have little trouble finding the money to keep the task force together on a state level. But FEMA has taken much of its equipment back from the task force warehouse, and the state has now made leftover detection kits, infrared cameras and other tools available to local governments.

At the most recent City Council meeting, Santa Fe approved grants from the state of three chemical and radioactivity detection kits for the fire department and a thermal-imaging camera for the city’s SWAT team.

It appears the elite disaster-response team has come to a disastrous end.

Ironically, the state Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management said it was too busy assisting with the response to Hurricane Harvey to provide any details about what had become of plans to keep the team around, how much equipment was still in state and where it had gone.

SFR requested a five-minute interview with Secretary Mitchell, but was told he was also too busy with the response to Hurricane Harvey. Karen Takai, the department spokeswoman, would not detail for SFR the extent of the state’s emergency response. Last week, however, the department announced on Facebook that it had elevated operations at its Emergency Operations Center to Level 3—the same response it would have to a hail storm, a

small wildfire or minor flooding. State guidelines say that means no extra hours worked and only partial staffing at the operations center.

There’s little doubt that whatever New Mexico is doing for Harvey victims now, the state would have been able to provide a much bigger and presumably much more helpful response if the urban search and rescue task force had become more organized in the decade that FEMA gave it to get up to speed. The problems began during the Richardson administration and continued under Gov. Susana Martinez.

The state not only flubbed the logistical part of managing the task force, but it also appeared that at least one team member had been forging certifications in an apparent effort to shore up record-

keeping.

Then, in April, the New Mexican reported that agents with US Homeland Security had served a search warrant on the state, suspicious that the task force chief and an administrative assistant had been taking online certification courses on behalf of team members. The agency did not provide any information about that investigation to SFR. No charges have been filed.

Much of New Mexico’s task force equipment is now in New Jersey, where the state-funded team that responded to 9/11, Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy had an easy time transitioning into the national response system.

“We were greenlighted to be operational on Oct. 4 [2016], and we were deployed to Hurricane Matthew on Oct. 6,” says Laura Connolly of the New Jersey State Police. “And we didn’t have any of that [New Mexico] equipment at that time. So we deployed with our state equipment.”

New Jersey Task Force One, as it’s now known, sent a water-rescue team of 19 people last month to assist with disaster response in Texas and Louisiana.

“They do this because it’s a passion,” Connolly tells SFR. Jan Snyder knows all about that passion. He says local departments have long had a smaller-scale, local response network. It works well, he says. But sending a team now to respond to a disaster such as Hurricane Harvey without the logistical support that NMTF1 had?

“That would be like getting into a truck and driving into the wilderness and saying, ‘Okay, we’re here. Now what?’”

How to Spark a Residential Renewable Revolution Community Solar is the key to unlock clean and affordable power

From reduced emissions and lower cost to greater energy independence and local self-reliance, the advantages of solar power are self-evident. With installation costs falling rapidly, Americans are now averaging one new residential solar project every 100 seconds.

But America’s transition from fossil fuels to clean and affordable renewables can and should be even faster.

Today, the hurdle to growth isn’t technology or cost. The issue is access.

State and local governments need to rewrite the rules to allow renters, condominium owners, and homeowners without sunny roof or lawn space the ability to access clean and affordable solar power.

There’s a simple and effective solution: Community Solar.

These shared energy projects allow a group of people to own a stake in and purchase power from local solar farms or “solar gardens”. These projects are a win-win: they create jobs, cut costs, boost local economies, and often allow lower-income communities to access the benefits of renewable power.

The idea is starting to take hold. There are 26 US states with one or more Community Solar project. In the coming years, America is likely to add as much as 3 gigawatts of Community Solar, compared to only 66 megawatts through the end of 2014.

But there’s an obstacle in the way of this renewable revolution: policies that block Community Solar in order to protect investor-owned utility monopolies from healthy competition.

In New Mexico, legislators again failed this year to pass legislation to legalize solar gardens and other shared clean generation facilities. As Christopher Ramirez of Juntos, a New Mexico nonprofit, put it: “We are misled to believe that the dirtiest energy is the cheapest option.”

In many areas of the country, utilities are actually angling to get in on the Community Solar action—providing their ratepayers with the option of purchasing solar power from a shared facility. While this can be a step in the right direction, we should still aspire for something better: community-owned, community-driven power that boosts local self-reliance and provides everyone access to the cheapest energy available today.

Community Solar should be a right. This is a cause that can unite environmentalists, advocates for under-served and low-income communities, and people who believe in free market competition. With an estimated 101 projects and 108 cumulative megawatts of installed capacity as of this year, Community Solar is already ascendant.

States and localities should rewrite unfair anti-solar rules and let solar gardens bloom.

Cannabis Class The state’s medical cannabis program wants to improve its education outreach to medical providers

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

A

s the number of enrolled patients continues to climb, New Mexico’s medical cannabis program officials say they are restructuring to place more emphasis on community outreach and education.

The announcement comes after SFR obtained records indicating that the program’s education outreach has mostly been limited to urban areas and select groups. Both patients and doctors have reported hesitancy about discussing the program to the Health Department, which could be alleviated by stronger efforts to educate medical providers about cannabis. In the absence of such outreach, private and for-profit organizations are charging steep prices for cannabis education.

The Health Department says it plans to hire additional staff who will help redesign the state’s methods of educating patients about cannabis and is in the process of hiring a second medical director for the program to manage engagement with medical providers and others interested in learning more about how the medicine works.

“We want folks to know in the medical community what the program is, what it can do—and also for those who are aware of the program, if we spot issues with incomplete applications, we can try to help them out on this,” program director Kenny Vigil tells SFR. “We hope to be a little more proactive.”

Since January 2014, New Mexico’s medical cannabis program has given at least 33 presentations for medical providers in the state, according to records obtained by SFR. Those records—which include personal calendars for health department employees, PowerPoint presentation files, field notes drafted by members of the medical cannabis program and receipts for expenses incurred by presenters—show that the vast majority of presentations took place in Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

Dr. Maureen Small, medical director of the cannabis program, and its patient services manager, Kathryn Riter, pre-

sented to practitioner clinics and hospitals, condition-specific support groups for diseases such as ALS and Parkinson’s, and medical conferences. Vigil says that rather than offering education to providers, the state has so far only responded to requests for cannabis teach-ins.

“We will have organizations reach out to us saying they want more information about the program,” Vigil tells SFR. “Basically, it’s based on invitations for us to go to them.”

According to some of the correspondence obtained by SFR, however, sometimes representatives of the medical cannabis program initiate contact with medical providers.

For example, in November of 2015, Small sent an email to the Family Practice Associates of Taos offering “a brief presentation on medical cannabis and an overview of the program.”

“We are hearing from many patients that they are afraid to discuss medical cannabis with their doctor and we regularly are confronted with providers hav-

ing misconceptions about the program,” Small wrote at the time. “One of our missions here at the Department of Health is to inform the medical community about the medical legal aspects of the program and the latest scientific research on medical cannabis.”

The presentation at Family Practice Associates of Taos eventually took place on March 21, 2016.

Records show that there were comparably fewer presentations in rural parts of the state. None took place at health centers on Native land, where federal funding from Indian Health Services could make medical staff more reluctant to recommend cannabis for patients. The Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Council declined to comment for this story.

Yet, field notes from a presentation to young doctors at Albuquerque’s First Nations Community HealthSource in March 2015 note that the audience was “very interested and proactive in nature.”

Although the doctors weren’t necessarily employed by the clinic where the presentation occurred, its chief executive officer, Linda Son-Stone, says providers at HealthSource are currently “not accessing the program.”

Medical centers in other rural communities, including Gallup and Silver City, have coordinated presentations with the medical cannabis program through the University of New Mexico’s Health Extension Rural Offices program, or HEROs. The program, which has become a model for rural health outreach

in other states, is housed in UNM’s Office of Community Health and funded with a federal grant.

Dr. Robert Rhyne, a professor and vice chairman for family and community medicine at the school, says the school also has contracts with the Health Department to provide training on cannabis to medical providers, noting that trainers from the school recently fanned out to give certified trainings on best practices for opioid prescription, including guidance on medical cannabis to ease pain and other symptoms.

The HEROs program does most of its own outreach, leaving rural communities relatively untouched by the cannabis program’s outreach efforts. One solution, suggests community organizer Jason Barker of the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act (LECUA) Patients Coalition of New Mexico, would be that producers begin to take on more educational responsibilities.

“It’d be nice to see some of the producers take on some of that aspect,” he says.

“They mention in licensure requirements that they [should] put forth some educational duties for patients and programs.”

But he cautions that dispensary employees are often undereducated about cannabis’ medical properties, pointing to a 2016 peer reviewed study by Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research that found only 20 percent of dispensary staff in the states it surveyed had received medical or scientific training.

And in the absence of free and plentiful resources for learning about cannabis, business people with little medical backing can charge hundreds of dollars for one-time “symposiums” offering a quick hit of cannabis education.

The lines are sometimes not so clear.

Dr. Steven Rosenberg served as medical director of the state’s medical cannabis program from 2013 until earlier this year and runs a business in Albuquerque that charges new and renewing cannabis patients for medical consultations starting at $50.

“You need to treat cannabis patients like any other medicine, and if you’re going to recommend a course of therapy, even if you’re not writing a prescription, you still have to know something about the substance you’re recommending,” Rosenberg tells SFR. Fortunately for Rosenberg, his former tenure with the state has given his for-profit venture a higher profile.

“One of the consults I did was because [the patient] didn’t get any instruction from the person who certified them, and that was what they were told to do,” Rosenberg says. “Come see me.”

This is what the late technopreneur would want, the song says; now that he’s version 2.0, escaping his capitalist scheming.

The world premiere of the work at the Santa Fe Opera was another example of why it’s so weird and wonderful to be here—now.

We’re surrounded by so much talent and creativity, yet we don’t always take time to enjoy the slow pleasures of detaching from the digital tether. While burying your nose in a book is not exactly tuning in to the present, it’s a way of connecting with life that’s deeper than the scrolling screen. Some human being, somewhere, wrote down these words, crafted and curated them with a message in mind.

We advocate mixing fiction and nonfiction into one’s literature diet, and this year’s collection reminds us that even when stories are “made up,” it’s the elements of truth that make them worth reading. Diving into our annual fall book list can also take you back to school.

As the kids don their khakis, adults can try on new things of their own with a well-researched narrative, or get to know a public figure in a new way. We chose the following books because of their strong Santa Fe connections, or because we thought they were too interesting or timely to pass by. Press the home button. Or the off button.

Fiction We Were Witches

AUTHOR: ARIEL GORE

A

riel Gore’s We Were Witches is true. Every last word of it. This does, of course, take into account the difference between “truth” and “fact,” what it means to quote someone from memory 23 years after they said something, or the way in which a reader can get sucked so far into a book’s world that when the character named Ariel Gore in a book

by Ariel Gore follows a deer into the woods and it leads her down a staircase inside a tree into a golden throne room and the deer begins speaking English, the reader thinks: “Yeah, totally.”

The book follows Ariel (for our purposes, the character will be called by her first name, the author by her last), a young, unwed, poor, queer mother who, while navigating ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends, alternately oppressive and supportive family, and a system that just doesn’t value women (for lack of a better term: The Man), resolves to become a writer. She enrolls in college and begins reading. Buckle in.

We Were Witches can be found in the fiction section, but I suspect this is mostly because the Library of Congress doesn’t have a classification for cross-genre literature. Gore—who lives in Santa Fe but is nationally renowned for her writing, teaching, and as one of the original voices of “alternative parenting”—also points out that to write about events more than two decades later and use quotation marks while doing so is a slippery slope. “Things aren’t exact. It’s like if

you had lived your life and then you painted a series of paintings, rather than took photographs,” Gore tells SFR. “But I also wanted to play with this idea that if you don’t like the story that you’ve been handed, the story that you’ve been told about yourself, that you can reinvent it.”

So Ariel’s story is interwoven with fairy tale and history, from Rapunzel facilitating her own rape to the thousands of women in 16th-century Europe who were tortured and burned for witchcraft. There are lists, book analyses, dives into etymology and Wiccan spells. And Gore’s re-telling of her own story is peppered with help that she didn’t necessarily receive.

“Sometimes [writing] means going in and reinventing the past—and I don’t mean making the bad things not happen,” Gore says, “but giving your character a witness or a helper that would have really helped them kind of make sense of it at the time, or process it. What would the story look like if you’d had all these kind of magical and human helpers along the way?”

As Ariel moves around California, into the jaws of the suburbs, into a closet (no, really) in San Francisco, then to on-campus housing at Mills College, all with her daughter Maia in tow, she meets many figures that guide her. Indeed, the page that I dog-eared as where Ariel truly discovers that women have power (not that she yet knows that she has power) is where she meets an elderly poet named Mary TallMountain. Mary was an ac-

tual person—the only magical helper Googleable and verifiable as real.

Mary watches Maia as Ariel works a journalism internship, teaches Ariel a Thanksgiving dinner on a budget, and informs Ariel that she is a writer simply because she writes. If you go home and write a poem, you are a poet. This life is enough.

The book could be classified as “intermediate feminism;” if you don’t already believe that female-identifying people have an inherent reason to be angry, We Were Witches might be too much at first. A healthy view of the feminism that has come before, too, is important.

“When people talk about feminism, that whole era—the ’90s and coming into the ’90s … it’s still kind of mocked. And I’ve gone along with it, too—I mean, I think there are aspects of it that are really funny,” Gore says.

(When Ariel learns the word “womyn,” for example, or when her heavily pregnant neighbor Lola, shaved head and all, requests cunnilingus within moments of meeting Ariel, the reader smiles, and is perhaps nostalgic, but is not shocked.) Gore continues: “But while I was writing this book, I discovered that I took and take that era of my education really seriously, and it was super influential on my life.”

So, Ariel’s path is not intimidating, as it might be if we were presented with a female character who really had her shit together and wanted to wake us up. Ariel doesn’t know what she’s doing. She calculates and acts impulsively and makes strange and strong choices. And we are right there with her.

Village: A Novel

A U T H O R : S TA N L E Y C R A W F O R D Though it’s one of just two novels on our list this year, Village could be about people and places you know in the real world. Like all good forms of story, Stanley Crawford’s truth in the telling stands on its own. His straightforward, lyric color and comic twists had us devouring this multi-layered tale about a fictional village in Northern New Mexico with residents whose homes, marriages and economic doldrums are open for inspection and introspection.

The story’s inhabitants include the couple who run the corner store, a drifting hippie and his drifting wife, and a corrupt postmaster. Its plot curves along the edges of the two-lane blacktop that slices the town, the story wending its way through a junkyard, into the school gym and along the acequia.

Without the reader realizing it, Crawford cuts to the essence of what makes each character step from the page. Giggles come easily, right along with sadness. There are lonely people in this tale. Crazy people. Hopeless people.

And moments of sidesplitting laughter and soft sighs. The sights and sounds and smells of the setting bring to life walks along gurgling rivers, casserole deliveries, sick calls and trips for car parts under the cover of darkness.

This success must get wind from Crawford’s life as a task in fact-finding for this creative work. With seven novels and two memoirs under his belt, he’s also a living, breathing honest-to-goodness farmer in Dixon. And when he’s not writing or farming, lately he’s been litigating as a key player in a yearslong battle with a Chinese garlic megacorporation over import tariffs that create false price expectation for domestic producers.

Most nights, when Madelyn falls asleep, she is transported to the world of dreams. Here, she serves as a protector of sorts to the sleeping realm, though she often forgets by morning. The project of local writer Stephanie Alia, Washington-based illustrator Adam Frank and local letterer Bram Meehan, Alcheringa delves deep into the Aboriginal concept of dreamtime, blurring the lines between dreams and reality. It draws from fantasy epics, sci-fi weirdness and good old-fashioned monster lore for an intriguing new comic title.

with ’80s movies, but also of originality. There’s a rooted appreciation for the power of dreams on display.

Are they merely our minds’ way of working out conflict, or do they serve a deeper purpose?

Frank’s illustrations capture the unfamiliarity of the dreamlike from a bizarre market scene to the detailed character design, and involvement from Meehan, a local comics legend, is the icing on the cake. You’ll be immersed in the setup and ache for the follow-up, but one thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning, and the beginning is good. (Alex De Vore)

My Favorite Thing is Monsters AUTHOR: EMIL FERRIS

Chicago, 1968: A young queer girl named Karen navigates the tensions of racial and sexual politics alongside the murder of her upstairs neighbor, a Holocaust survivor, possibly by Karen’s own brother.

Artist/writer Emil Ferris deftly interweaves her own fiction style with intricate and finely detailed ballpoint pen illustrations and a deep respect for hard-boiled detective genre as well as horror comics and film. Karen, a girl-turned-werewolf-turned-detective, hides from her own heart-wrenching reality by investigating the mysterious death

while grappling with a dying mother and the trials of Catholic school.

Presented as Karen’s sketchbook, Monsters, Ferris’ first stab at graphic novels, represents her return to artistic form after contracting West Nile Virus and becoming paralyzed. She still walks with a cane, but by taping a quill to her good hand, she created her own form of physical therapy.

She has crafted a fine story, longform graphic novel or not. Densely layered and patient in its pacing, Karen’s tale recalls all at once the complexities of mythology and the turbulence of 1960s America. (ADV)

NonFiction How America Got its Guns:

Inside Story: Everyone’s

A History of the Gun Violence Crisis

guide to reporting and writing creative nonfiction

AUTHOR: WILLIAM BRIGGS

AUTHOR: JULIA GOLDBERG

The statistic is ubiquitous: more than 30,000 US deaths each year. So is the cause: guns.

Perhaps it was always going to take a math professor to fuse the politics, history, jurisprudence and humanity of a bedrock American obsession for readers of any level of sophistication to walk away smarter on the thorny issue of guns in this country.

UC Denver’s William Briggs does just that as he pushes blood into the debate with How America Got its Guns, elucidating the Second Amendment and its myriad legal progeny through interviews with a surprising cast of gun owners and advocates; some want more guns, others, more restrictions.

From an academic, Briggs’ book could easily have come out like a big, unreadable pile of facts. It doesn’t. Instead, there’s a series of easy-to-read narrative

The Lost City of the Monkey God AUTHOR: DOUGLAS P R E STO N

threads sewn among the history and political rhetoric that, in a way, make this gnarly issue more approachable. The book provides a number of thought-provoking surprises. In a chapter on the humans who birthed some of the world’s most widely used guns, Briggs opens with a quote from Mikhail Kalashnikov, who designed the AK-47. “I’m proud of my invention, but I’m sad that it is used by terrorists. … I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work—for example a lawnmower.”

In the main, Briggs never takes a side.

He does, however, drop the gun argument into some of the broader contexts in which it belongs—inequality, liberty, the meaning of citizenship—as he gently offers some suggestions in the book’s later sections for an American future with less violence. (Jeff Proctor)

Douglas Preston is somewhat of a literary hero. It’s not because his books have reached such a status that he’s the next Hemingway or JK Rowling or GRR Whatshisname (though we kind of hope so).

Preston, a Santa Fean, is on our hero list because in 2014, he launched Authors United to lead a charge against Amazon’s book-dealing skulduggery.

It depends on whom you ask, but most agree the group of nearly 1,000 scribes lost that battle in the publishing war. That’s beside the point. Sometimes, as he expertly reminds us in Lost City of the Monkey God, it’s the losing and the trying that are among the most interesting parts of living.

Let’s face it: It has not been a great year for journalists. Having the president of your country declare that members of your profession are the “enemy of the American people” has a sort of lasting effect. When you look behind the curtain of the Great and Powerful Media, however, you’ll see a bunch of people who are heavily invested in telling stories. They’re trying to carry the truth and meaning in our civilization. [Commences to toot own horn.]

If you’re an aspiring writer—or even an experienced one who, like most, needs inspiration and instruction, you’ll find it in Inside Story. If you want to know more about the guts of modern journalism— about writing something that someone somewhere will actually read and reflect upon—it’s here too.

SFR will forever lay claim to Julia Goldberg as “our own,” but in reality, it’s

The New York Times says he “proved quite a thorn in Amazon’s side.” Huzzah!

Preston’s setup is enviable. He’s a writer who’s no stranger to travel and intrigue, with assignments for publications like National Geographic and the Smithsonian.

He already carries a long list of books with his byline, including as co-author of series about an FBI agent. But this book is nonfiction—and, even better, it’s intensely personal for the author.

After setting a lure with a source that he couldn’t reel in for years, Preston finally gets his hook into a rare expedition into the jungle of Honduras.

Part memoir of creeping, biting, sweat-

been six years since she left the position of editor here after holding it for more than a decade. She went on to become a full-time faculty member at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design and is this very semester teaching some of the final courses at the school set to close next summer. Her book will no doubt land in lots more classrooms. It isn’t just her own brand of wisdom and humor (though there’s a ton of that); it’s nuggets from journalists across the nation. Before you get all down on the inverted pyramid, Goldberg is way into what they used to call “the new journalism,” the kind where reporting and the craft of writing produce nonfiction that reads like a novel. If you wanna do that, each of the 10 chapters give prompts for writing exercises you can try, plus page upon page of other recommended reading. Know your enemy. It might even be you. (JAG)

ing, itching, excruciating excitement, the book is also a great history primer on what is known, and more on what is unknown, about the Indigenous cultures of Central America that weren’t the well-known Mayans or Aztecs. For the deep think, it explores the very notion of exploration and who defines what’s lost and found.

Plus, it’s got a super-geeky science angle that involves an exposition on the first commercial application of LIDAR surveying to locate numerous uncharted ruins hidden by dense layers of vegetation. Hike through this at Preston’s brisk pace, and enjoy the tangled vines of plot twists that you just couldn’t make up. (JAG)

The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI

Secret Life of Dictionaries

A U T H O R : K O R Y S TA M P E R

When the people of the Osage Nation were shuffled off to a corner of Oklahoma to call their own, tribal members working on the papers that declared that rocky corner of the country theirs made sure to also secure rights to the minerals, coal, oil and gas beneath it. It was a deal that would bring them millions—and that would cost the tribe everything.

Tribal members had already traced oil seeping into streams on the reservation, and soon wildcatters were gathering to bid on the chance to lease rights to drill and striking wells that sometimes plumed a hundred feet into the air.

The royalty checks that rolled in made the Osage the wealthiest people per capita in the world. The embarrassment of riches bred rumors like that they’d buy a new car when a tire on the previous went flat. By the early 1920s, they were sharing their territory with oilmen whose names would go on to read across the biggest oil tankers and gas stations around the country: Frank Phillips and Harry Sinclair. Then, someone started killing off the Osage.

David Grann recounts the story in his gripping book, a true-crime account that reads like a murder mystery, centered around one family as its members are lost. The book weaves meticulous and colorfully detailed stories of one Osage tribal member after another found shot, bombed or poisoned, and the inherent flaws their murders revealed in the law enforcement system of the time. In an era in which lawmen were still taming the Wild West and lingering anti-federalism resisted a nationwide police force, local sheriffs were at a loss to solve the murders and track down the killers. Then, J Edgar Hoover and the Bureau of Investigation’s agents stepped in, setting the roots of what would become the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

With oil and gas development an ongoing issue of contention for tribes from Chaco Canyon to Standing Rock, Killers of the Flower Moon makes for a thrilling, prescient tour of a history we seem to be looping through, if in less salacious, “reign of terror” headline-earning ways. (Elizabeth Miller)

Definitely not just a textbook for word nerds or copy editors (ahem), lexicographer Kory Stamper’s new work about the writing of Merriam-Webster’s dictionary appeals to a surprisingly wide audience. For Word by Word to be interesting, the reader must be at least a little interested in the history of the English language—but that’s about the only requirement.

Stamper starts with her own story and how she got to be an editor at M-W, and then branches out into subjects like parts of speech, Chancery Standard English and slang—and then eventually falls

Politicians these days don’t feel like they necessarily need to talk to the media, and by extension, their constituents and/or the people who they want to be their constituents.

That means we all learn less about who they are as people, what they really believe in, how their life experiences will or won’t serve them as they serve us. Enter: the memoir.

Steve Pearce is the only Republican so far to publicly say he’ll run for governor of New Mexico in the 2018 election. As a sitting congressman for

southern New Mexico, there’s a long voting history to indicate his political leanings. In 2014, Roll Call reported he was the 50th most wealthy representative in the 435-member House.

But the year before that report, Pearce was issuing his own report on wealth in the form of his memoir. He doesn’t mention that his net is worth upward of $7 million in the 479-page book. Nor does he spend more than six pages in total talking about actual governance during his time in the state House or in the nation’s capital. But readers get lots of his view on his own hardscrabble childhood in the dust bowl of sharecropping and the grubby sweat of oil camps, the mantra of “hard work pays off” leading its rhetorical outline. There’s also lots of attention paid what Pearce describes as his shy nature and reluctance to take risks. This, however, he says he emerged from thanks to a religious life that helped him “let out the lion.”

Both Pearce’s congressional staff spokesperson and the separate spokesperson for his campaign said he was unavailable to answer questions about the book. And you might have a few of your own if you make it to the end. (JAG)

down the rabbit hole all the way to contemporary political disputes in which the dictionary was called for comment; specifically, whether or not M-W had redefined “marriage” in 2009, as a conservative news site angrily claimed it had done. (It hadn’t.)

Stamper is still getting her sea legs in the first chapter, finally free from the tissue paper pages of the dictionary and able to be flowery. As a result, the reader is either treated to or assaulted by vocabulary acrobatics. But this habit fades, and it’s not long before this reader in particular was actually laughing out loud at descriptions of the slightly spooky-sounding M-W offices and ways in which you can figure out parts of speech. (A tidbit: “I’ma ____ ya ass.” If a word fits there, it’s transitive.)

The book quickly becomes an enjoyable read, stuffed with anecdotes from Stamper’s own life and historical references. Each chapter is predicated on the topic of one word (headers like “Irregardless: On Wrong Words” and “Bitch: On Bad Words”), and such a broad brush gives Stamper’s playful and easygoing voice ample rein to have fun. And isn’t fun what we all want when we read the dictionary? (CJ)

COYOTES IN OFFICE “Dirty tricks are as American as apple pie,” says retired university professor Ken Simonsen. “Shenanigans … are part of a very old American tradition, going back to Native Americans.” Simonsen aims to illustrate his point in “The Trickster in American Literature and Politics,” a lecture in which he discusses the shrewd, manipulative character of the Trickster as it has existed from Winnebago tribal traditions to the Navajo Coyote to Huckleberry Finn to modern day—and that, in his estimation, the archetypical Coyote “could go to Washington and survive and get away with it.” In the lecture, presented by the Renesan Institute, Simonsen would even posit that, in America, “the only fair, straightforward election was when George Washington ran against himself.” (Charlotte Jusinski)

Stayin’ Alive The art and majesty of zombie puppet musicals Devon Hawkes Ludlow fell in love with puppets some years back, but it wasn’t until a trip to Eastern Europe that he truly fathomed their possibilities as an art form. “Puppeteers are number one on the cultural landscape there,” he says. To be fair, an exhibit on the practical effects of director Julie Taymor (Titus) helped as well, as did Peter Jackson’s Meet the Feebles—but Ludlow’s own creation, The Love that Would Not Die, may just out-weird them all.

The musical tale of an apocalypse survivor, his zombie girlfriend and a kid with a powerful secret, Love has won fans and creeped people the eff out since its first 30-minute film/pilot episode debuted last year. Ludlow writes and records all the stories and songs himself, sometimes with guest vocalists like local Andy Kirkpatrick. Having served as managing director of local circus troupe Wise Fool in 2007, Ludlow was already familiar with weirdo arts. He also created a massive albino cave bat with local students for Meow Wolf.

But still, he says, puppets are a fairly rare commodity in American arts. “One of the attractions of puppetry in this country is that it’s an unknown for most people,” Ludlow explains. “It’s some-

times oh-so-frustrating but, most of the time, it’s a great way to be a Trojan horse and people aren’t prepared for whatever you give them.” He builds his own puppets and sets, mostly out of recycled or found materials, alongside Flying Wall Studios’ Sabrina and Damon Griffith, who are celebrated puppet builders in their own rights. They say they learned a lot on the first film with Ludlow and are excited to jump into the new project.

“There has been more room for collaboration,” Sabrina says. “It’s been very open.” Damon agrees, saying, “The last [film] was more of a commission than a collaboration, now it’s more collaboration.”

You can see the creations for The Love that Would Not Die on weekends over the next month at DIY art space Radical Abacus, a venue that will host an exhibit by day and serve as the filming location by night. “There’s room to do a lot new,” Ludlow concludes, “but to keep it unexplained as an authentic, physical experience.” (Alex De Vore) THE LOVE THAT WOULD NOT DIE: A PUPPET EXHIBITION OPENING 6 pm Friday Sept. 8.

Going Dutch K.Dutch does it DIY

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

uoth the liner notes from K.Dutch’s debut fulllength, Always Home: “This album has a strong DIY core with most songs produced on my laptop at my dining room table and recorded on a hand-me-down mic in my garage.” Translated, this means it’s a tad rough around the edges, but that doesn’t mean bad—it means raw. And raw is what you want when it comes to hip-hop.

MC KC Dutcher is, after all, a father, part of local Afrobeat act Shake Alert and a public schools employee.

This all means his time is surely tight, but we like to imagine he stays up late after the kids have gone to bed, notebook in hand, thesaurus nearby, crafting rhymes and flows to go with his ’90s R&B-reminiscent backing beats or subtle nods to reggae and lo-fi East Coast titans of rap like Biggie or Wu Tang.

We’ll start there, particularly with the track “Full Fly Zone,” a clever and heavier beat that’s one part Casio beat machine, one part gangster rap mood whistle and one part K.Dutch’s backand-forth between sugary-smooth singing voice and borderline angry flow. “History lies, open your eyes,” he says. “It’s time to get real, it’s time to go to work—go volunteer; go get on a ballot, volunteer, mentor a child.” It

sounds angry, feels positive, made us think about how we could do more—a call to arms, of sorts, and a perfect encapsulation of K.Dutch’s whole deal: Dude wants to enact change.

Take “The Future,” a political chiptune-esque callback to 8-bit Nintendo soundtracks that envisions a bleak future where the environment is wrecked, stocks mean nothing and people die—but, ruh-roh, we’re basically there now. Thanks for nothing, Trump. “Human blood, the new fuel for cranes in factories,” he laments.

And he’s right, but Home isn’t all heavy bum-out songs. Tracks like “PS” and “I Get Over” not only feel sexy as hell, but pay respect to educators and remind us that we have power if we care to grasp it.

Mastering from Hills Audio champ Will Dyar (Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand, anyone?) cleans things up a bit, and Dutch’s voice is clear and tight, but we’re almost more interested in where he’ll go next. As debuts go, Always Home comes pretty close to excellent, but even with the lack of over-production, it feels not quite there. We’d love to see what K.Dutch would be capable of if he were to hit a studio for a couple days, maybe with a live band, to which we know he has access.

Still, there are some serious bangers on Home and his heart’s in the right place—a welcome surprise in a city that seems to embrace hip-hop more and more with each passing year.

Giddy Up! Mobile art “go-tique” hits the Santa Fe streets

BY LIZ BRINDLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m @lizbrindley_artwork

“

W

ho doesn’t want a pony?” local curator Niomi Fawn asks. “And who doesn’t want a cute pony with braids in its hair doing fancy tricks?” Fawn refers to how her latest creation, Show Pony, a mobile “go-tique” (gallery/boutique), got its name. Fawn launched Show Pony in July of this year to make an accessible and inclusive public art space.

I meet the Pony, a trailer that went through a curated makeover, for the first time in a storage unit parking space (and I can’t help but liken it to a horse stall). I step inside and am transported to an intimate gallery decked out with the work of 16 local artists including Israel Francisco Haros Lopez, Anastasio Wrobel and M Gold. Good things come in small packages, right?

As I do a 360-degree spin to take everything in, Fawn says, “This is a clubhouse on wheels.” She’s describing the feel of the tiny yet welcoming environment, where you can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers and feel comfortable talking about the artwork.

“The inclusivity of this environment is about removing the idea that you have to be a certain way or have a certain amount of money to enter an art space,” Fawn shares.

For the curation process, Fawn focuses on small-scale works to counterbalance the pressure some artists receive from galleries to go big; she seeks out the precious, intricate studies that sometimes only exist behind the scenes. “I want work that people want to live with everyday,” Fawn says, “where they can say, ‘Cool, I’m eating scrambled eggs and drinking coffee. I love this piece so much, and it looks different today.’”

Current artwork includes a variety of prints, CDs and books

including Wrobel’s Non-Binary Coloring Book (A&C, “A Non-Binary Experience,” Dec. 21, 2016). Fawn catches my eyes darting from product to product and points out that Show Pony “has all of the people you’d want to find, but would never know how to find them.”

Though the go-tique is parked during our chat, its main trick is mobility. Fawn helps people find the featured artists by driving Show Pony to public spaces and hanging the artwork in the trailer to create an open gallery in unconventional settings. In a matter of merely eight weeks—since Show Pony’s July debut at this year’s AHA Progressive Arts Festival’s Art of the Machine event on July 1— it has opened its doors at numerous locations including the Railyard, the Drury Plaza Hotel and the Santa Fe Opera. Obviously, this pony is agile.

Just as a horse takes time to learn its tricks, the idea began percolating in Fawn’s mind two years ago. It was around the time she also founded Curate Santa Fe, a business model that led her to design over 30 art shows for spaces like Iconik Coffee Roasters and the Visual Arts Gallery at Santa Fe Community College. The shows helped Fawn create strong relationships with local artists, many of whom are represented in the gotique today.

Earlier this year, the vision materialized when Fawn embodied the personality of a workhorse, transforming a trailer from the inside out in only 47 days. The

The art world is changing. It just is. It has to.

-Niomi Fawn

With the advent of Show Pony, Santa Fe now has two mobile art galleries (including Axle Contemporary). How lucky is that?

effort that went into creating (and now maintaining) the space is masterfully hidden behind an intense attention to craft and detail; the black exterior stands in stark contrast to the interior’s sleek, white wood paneled walls with carefully selected artworks that are all under $500 and average roughly $150.

“There are many people who don’t have the inroad to pay $5,000 for a painting,” Fawn tells SFR. “It might be because they are very educated and have masters degrees in art, but they also have $50,000 of student debt. Or they might be working 40 to 60 hours a week just trying to make ends meet in Santa Fe, and those people deserve a piece of art, too.” The price point means pieces sell regularly, which not only supports the overall Santa Fe arts scene, but creates an ever-changing collection of content.

To keep up with this animal, you’ll have to track it on Instagram (@showponygallery) or through showponygallery.com. Fawn comments that most people are on their phones anyway, so why not tap into that relationship and create an alternative art experience? Meanwhile, you can find Show Pony at Second Street Brewery’s Rufina location this Friday (4-8 pm. 2920 Rufina St., 954-1068) and at Back Road Pizza from noon-6 pm on Saturday and Sunday (1807 Second St., Ste. 1, 955-9055) “The art world is changing,” she states.

“It just is. It has to.”

DRIP, don’t obsess on the distressing-to-you details and focus instead on the big picture: You’ve got an adventurous GF. Congrats. If she doesn’t have an equally adventurous BF, here’s hoping she finds one.

I’m a lady considering taking on a foot fetishist as a slave. He would do chores around my house, including cleaning and laundry, and give foot rubs and pedicures in exchange for getting to worship and jack off to my model-perfect feet when I’ve decided he’s earned it. Am I morally obligated to tell my roommates? Technically the guy would be in their common space too. I will fully vet him with references and meet him in a neutral location at least once—and anything else you might suggest I do for security’s sake.

Though my roommates are not what you would call conservative, I’m not sure they’d understand this kind of arrangement. I would have my slave come over when no one is around, and then my roommates could come home to a sparkly clean common area! My slave would never have access to their personal spaces, nor would I leave him alone in any area of our home until a strong bond of trust had been established. No harm, no foul? Or am I crossing a line?

-Man Into Cleaning A Shared Apartment A friend in Berlin has a similar arrangement.

This guy comes over to clean his apartment once a week and—if my friend thinks he’s done a good enough job—my friend rewards him with a knee to the balls. It’s a good deal for both parties: My vanilla-but-kink-adjacent friend gets a sparkly clean apartment (which he loves but doesn’t want to do himself), this guy gets his balls busted on a regular basis (which he loves but can’t do himself). But my friend lives alone, MICASA, and that makes all the difference. Or does it?

Time for some playing-games-with-footfetishists theory: If you were having sex with a boyfriend in the common areas of your apartment when your roommates weren’t home— let’s say your boyfriend (or even some rando) wanted to fuck you on the kitchen floor—you wouldn’t be morally obligated to text your roommates and ask their permission. But we’re not talking about a normal guy here or normal sex—we’re talking about a fetishist who wants to be your slave. Does that make a difference? It might to people who regard kinksters as dangerous sex maniacs, MICASA, but a kinky guy isn’t any more or less dangerous than a vanilla guy.

And a kinky guy you’ve gone to the trouble to vet—by getting his real name and contact info, by meeting in public at least once, by asking for and following up with references—presents less of a threat to you and your roommates than some presumed-to-be-vanilla rando one of you brought home from a bar at 2 a.m.

Strip away the sensational elements— his thing for feet, his desire to be your chore slave, the mental image of him jacking off all over your toes—and what are we left with? A friends-with-benefits arrangement. A sparkly clean apartment benefits you (and your roommates); the opportunity to worship your feet benefits him. This guy would be a semi-regular sex partner of yours, MICASA, and while the sex you’re having may not be conventional, the sex you have in your apartment—including the sex you might have in the common areas when no one is at home—is ultimately none of your roommates’ business.

That said, MICASA, unless or until all your roommates know what’s up, I don’t think you should ever allow this guy to be alone in your apartment.

My girlfriend drunkenly confessed to me that she used to pee on her ex. I’m not sure what to do with this info.

-Dude’s Relationship In Peril

My 7-year-old son started getting really into gauze, splints, and bandages when he was 3, and by the time he was 4, it became clearly sexualized. He gets a boner when he plays “broken bone” or just looks at bandages, and he has expressed how much he loves to touch his penis when he does this. My husband and I (both happily vanilla) have been accepting and casual about this. We’ve provided him with a stash of “supplies,” taught him the concept of privacy and alone time, and frequently remind him to never wrap bandages around his head or neck.

Is it normal to be so kinky at such a young age?

I know kinks generally develop from childhood associations. When he was 2, he had surgery to correct a common issue on his groin. Might that have sparked this? I want my son to grow up with a healthy and positive sexuality. Are we doing him a favor or a disservice by supplying him with materials, freedom, and privacy to engage in a kink so young?

-Boy Always Needing “Doctoring” And Getting Edgier Your son’s behavior isn’t that abnormal, BANDAGE. It’s standard for kids, even very young kids, to touch their genitals—in public, where it can be a problem, or in private, where it should never be a problem. And lord knows kids obsess about the strangest shit. (What is the deal with dinosaurs, anyway?) Right now your son is obsessed with bandages and splints and gauze, his interests aren’t purely intellectual, and it’s easy to see a possible link between his experience with bandages and gauze in his swimsuit area and his obsession.

None of this means your son is definitely going to be kinky when he grows up, BANDAGE—not that there’s anything wrong with being kinky when you grow up. There are lots of happy, healthy kinksters out there, and your kid could be one of them when he grows up. But it’s too early to tell, and so long as his interests aren’t complicating his life (he’s not behaving inappropriately with friends or at school), your son’s whatever-this-is will become less of your concern over time and ultimately it will be none of your business.

In the meantime, you don’t wanna slap a “so kinky” label on a 7-year-old. (If he were to overhear you using that term to describe him, does he have the computer skills to google it himself?) But you’re doing everything right otherwise. You aren’t shaming your son, you aren’t making bandages and gauze and splints more alluring by denying him access to them, you are teaching him important lessons about privacy and what needs to be reserved for “alone time.”

You ask if it’s normal to be “so kinky” (a phrase we shall both retire, at least when referring to your son, after today) at such a young age. Probably not—but so what? According to science, most adults have paraphilias, aka “non-normative sexual desires and interests.” That means kinks are normal—at least for grown-ups—so even if your son isn’t normal now, BANDAGE, he’ll be normal someday.

Most happy, healthy, well-adjusted adult kinksters can point to things in their childhood that seemed to foreshadow their adult interests in bandages/bondage/balloons/whatever. Author, journalist, and spanking fetishist Jillian Keenan (Sex with Shakespeare) was fascinated by spanking when she was your son’s age; Keenan likes to say she was conscious of her kink orientation before she knew anything about her sexual orientation. So while your son’s behavior may not be “normal” for a kid who grows up to be vanilla, it would be “normal” for someone who grows up to be kinky.

Did she ask you to do something with this info?

Did your girlfriend say, “Hey, I used to pee on my ex—now go make me a dream catcher with that news, would you?” Your GF got a little kinky with an ex, most likely at the ex’s request, and so what? If piss isn’t something you’re into,

with Marcos Castillo

AT TAOS MESA BREWING AMPHITHEATER // TAOS, NM // SEP. 29-OCT 01

COURTESY MARCOS CASTILLO

On Sept. 9 and 10, 65-ish disc golfers of all levels descend (ascend?) upon the Ski Santa Fe disc golf course for the second annual Ski Bueno Classic disc golf tournament, and tournament director Marcos Castillo can hardly wait. A 10-year vet of the sport and longtime tourney organizer, Castillo plays at the pro level and is constantly bringing together new players of all ages, creeds and skill levels through his company, Elite Brothers Disc Golf (elitebrothersdiscgolf.com, where you can also register for events across the state). And though the Ski Santa Fe course is usually open to the public, this one’s a closed event, kids—but if you keep an eye out for next year, you’ll be slingin’ disc (a term we just invented) before you know it.

(Alex De Vore) So, what’s the allure of disc golf?

There are many different types of allure. One, it’s afforable to play; two, it’s relatively easy to learn; and three, there are courses almost everywhere. Most are free to play, and the general camaraderie of the community is great. There are are many types of people who play.

Why do so many skiing locations have courses?

They’re perfect for disc golf. They have all the different types of terrain and challenges we like, like up and downhill, through the trees. They have a lot of infrastructure already, and ski areas are looking for ways to get people on the mountain during the summer.

Almost every ski area in the state has a permanent course.

Why do you guys hate the word ‘Frisbee’ so much?

The best comparison I’ve heard is that if you go up to someone who’s very into table tennis and call it pingpong. ... The way disc golf is growing, we’re trying to legitimize our sport. There are professionals who play.

The negative connotation of the sport is the stoner hippie hanging around flinging a Frisbee; that’s not us.

“

When I was first approached about being a Big Brother, I thought I wasn’t qualified. I don’t know much about kids, and I don’t have any special training or skills to teach them.

But when I met Fabian, I realized that going to the dog park and hanging out was enough to make a difference to him.

Ali, Big Brother

planning their own events. That’s all well and good, but Theatre Santa Fe wanted to create something that industry folk and audience members could physically attend.

When Theatre Santa Fe board members pitched the idea, they started asking around to see who was interested. “Then 13 companies said they wanted to do a

ne of the most common reactions to SFR’s new theater column (the very one you’re reading) is not necessarily happiness or displeasure, but rather bewilderment. Most folks are peripherally aware that Santa Fe has a theater scene; a few of those people know that shows here are totally on fire; and a fraction of those people regularly attend productions. The remaining population, perhaps, doesn’t even realize Santa Fe’s theatrical options are so vast, and many people have never even seen a show here.

To counter this generalized absence, an organization called Theatre Santa Fe has planned the first-ever Theatre Walk in Santa Fe for Saturday Sept. 16: a walk-able collection of venues in the Siler Road/Rufina Street district (get onboard with calling it SiDi already) where more than a dozen companies present scenes, short productions and open classes for attendees to get a taste of what’s happened, what’s coming and what’s possible on Santa Fe’s stages. Even better: It’s all free.

Janet Davidson, director and president of Theatre Santa Fe (an alliance of 17 theater companies in town), says the Theatre Walk came out of a desire to get everyone involved in a common goal. Theatre Santa Fe’s website (theatresantafe.org) functions as a virtual meeting place with call boards, audition notices, a weekly e-mail newsletter of productions currently running (in 2017, there has been and will be at least one production up every single weekend) and a common calendar that companies can reference when

show,” Davidson says; she was pleasantly surprised with how many companies wanted to join in. “It became a logistic insanity—how do you do 13 companies, seven venues, between 3 and 6 pm, 10 minutes each [production], but they’d each take a half hour? … So that was how it was born.”

So much involvement necessitated enlisting Duel Brewing and Cacao Santa Fe as unconventional venues. The variety of options is also a big draw; there are selections from shows that have already passed that you may have missed. New Mexico Actors Lab is reprising a scene from The Glass Menagerie, with a captivating Suzanne Lederer as Amanda and Geoffrey Pomeroy as her mysterious son Tom (web extra, May 19: “Family Matters”). You can get a look at what’s in rehearsal, too, including Ironweed Productions’ The Crucible, coming to stages in late October, as well as Teatro Paraguas’ Sotto Voce, opening Sept. 28.

Making its New Mexico debut is Blue Raven Theatre, the company helmed by Talia Pura. Pura, who moved here from Winnipeg, Manitoba, a year and a half ago, quickly made herself a staple in the

Santa Fe scene, both onstage and in the wings. Pura wrote and directed Collections, an excerpt from a full-length play, “the story of a couple in an antique shop.

The husband has an obsession with collecting small antique objects, which his wife does not share,” Pura tells SFR. From these kinds of original pieces to canonical shows elsewhere, there’s something for everyone.

For some participatory levity, stop by the Adobe Rose Theatre, where audiences can either watch or participate in ongoing improv games. All of the day’s shows are in the PG-rating area, but Meow Wolf can be your one-stop shop if you want something particularly kid-friendly.

Of Meow Wolf, Davidson says, Pandemonium Productions (which specializes in popular musicals for kids) and the Upstart Crows (the Shakespeare troupe for actors age 10 to 18) will hold down the fort both inside and outside. “That, combined with the food trucks that are already at Meow Wolf, makes it almost an event in and of itself,” Davidson says. “You can take your kids to two different shows, and also go have lunch.”

Once it became clear that it was going to be easy to drum up participation, sharing actors between productions Santa Fe Playhouse Adobe Rose Workshops Theatre and trimming scenes to fit into 10 minutes were the biggest puzzle Teatro Paraguas & Duel Brewing Rehearsal Space pieces. “I have scheduled big movies that were easier than this,” Davidson, Meow Wolf Cacao Santa Fe who has a hefty background in film, admits. The additional legwork that Theatre Santa Fe has put in, however, is promising that the product will be exceptional.

(A note to those unfamiliar with going to plays here: Theater folk do not run on “Santa Fe Time.” SFR has never attended a show that did not start promptly within 2-3 minutes of its scheduled curtain, so don’t dawdle; they’re running a tight ship.) t e re As time marches forward, DavidSt a if n son is encouraged by the cooperation Ru among Santa Fe’s theater companies and hopes that talents, friendships, networks and—ultimately—productions themselves will only get better.

The Theatre Walk is the perfect opportunity to see what Santa Fe can do; the price couldn’t be better, and the variety of offerings is sure to appeal to a wide swath of Santa Feans— especially, and hopefully, those who have never set foot in a theater. le c Cir Rufina THEATRE WALK s

24K Cocktails Health is wealth

BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

BUNNY STORM

he current world of cocktail-making is one of intense experimentation: taking flavors one wouldn’t associate with drinking and putting them in a glass.

Think cheeses, mushrooms and even tar.

This has grown into a real industry of research and development. Many places, such as Tony Conigliaro’s award-winning Drink Factory in London, literally work in science labs to craft the perfect drink.

As a home drink-maker, it may seem like getting in on the fun is out of reach when mixology has moved into beakers and centrifuges. But there is always room to mess around in your own kitchen. The easiest way is to just throw something tasty into a bottle and let it sit awhile and see what happens. For example: Use whiskey in place of water to make coldbrew coffee and you have an amazing start to mixed drink nirvana.

Savory drinks have always fascinated me, and I decided to put together a few carrot-based drinks as an experiment in kitchen laboratory-ness. As a bonus, I used a local business’ product in each drink.

First up is a variation on the dark and stormy that uses my favorite drink from New Mexico Hard Cider (taproom: 505 Cerrillos Road, 231-0632). The Purple Bunny is an apple and purple carrot cider that is so so so good, and this cocktail only amps up that goodness.

• 2 oz dark rum (not spiced)

T

Ingredients: • 3 oz New Mexico Hard Cider’s Purple Bunny • ½ oz fresh lime juice • Freshly diced ginger Directions: • Drop some freshly diced ginger in the bottom of a Collins glass, then fill with ice. Add the rum, cider and lime

ARY EN M GOLD

juice and stir gently with a spoon or the knife you cut the limes with. Garnish with a lime wedge.

I’ll tell you a secret—I have a slight tomato allergy. I know. I love them so much, but a whole drink based around them is not a great idea for me. So this is a carrot variation on the bloody Mary, my go-to brunch drink. It uses the golden milk carrot blend from Verde Juice (851 W San Mateo Road, 780-5151; 105 E Marcy St., 983-8147). A quick note: You can make horseradish vodka by soaking some fresh horseradish in a bottle for a few weeks.

It’ll be more mild, but is a fun variation.

GOLDEN MARY Ingredients: • 1 tablespoon salt • 1 lime, cut into four wedges • ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce • ¼ teaspoon soy sauce • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper • Dash ground red chile • ¼ teaspoon Cholula hot sauce • ½ teaspoon freshly grated horseradish • 2 oz vodka • 4 oz Verde’s golden milk cold-pressed juice • 1 stick each celery and carrot Directions: • Run one of the lime wedges around the rim of the glass then coat with salt. Fill a 12-oz glass with ice.

• In a shaker, add the Worcestershire, soy, black pepper, chile, Cholula and horseradish. Give this all a little muddle then fill the shaker with ice. Add vodka and golden milk juice. Squeeze the remaining three lime wedges into it as well.

• Shake like you mean it. Strain into the tumbler and garnish with the celery and carrot stick and that lime wedge you used to rim the glass.

In the Pursuit of Silence Review Crashing waves, falling rain, gentle breezes

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Two years after its UK debut, audiences in the United States are invited to chase something elusive. Isn’t that what we want? To incessantly seek? Here, we can find.

In the Pursuit of Silence is a ponderous, beautiful work that reminds us silence isn’t possible to comprehend as the absence of sound, but the disruption of life’s cacophony. And it’s a disruption humankind needs to hold dear.

Director Patrick Shen’s documentary chops include being the celebrated director and producer of Flight from Death in 2003, about how the fear of mortality drives our social behavior.

He’s also the brain behind The Philosopher Kings, the story of janitors in big-name universities, in 2009.

His newest movie combines voices of those who have, in some cases, devoted their lives to study of quietude, and of the effects that a lack of it has on our bodies and minds—most segments

feature their faces for several moments of silence.

As much as it decries the noise pollution of urban life, it reclaims its own time to hold moments of precious minimum noise, sometimes marked with a tagline and a decibel measurement. In places like Denali National Park in Alaska, it’s possible to hear fewer than 30 decibels in the ambient sound captured among the snowy crust.

At an elementary school near the train tracks in New York City, the level jumps to 98. (The US Occupational Health and Safety Administration says decibel levels above about 85 require ear protection for workers).

Recently, I’ve taken to wearing earplugs for the big screen, and sorely regretted foregoing this new habit during this summer’s viewings of Dunkirk and Atomic Blonde. The Pursuit of Silence comes with no regrets, however, as the soundscape Shen offers is the polar opposite: crashing waves, falling rain and gentle breeze through the corn. Delicate sound; sound you hear if you’re quiet yourself. It’s even better if you hear it in real life.

love for his son. He’s far from perfect, and his penchant for cracking jokes damages his credibility in the eyes of his brethren. But observing constant humiliation driven by his boss, his brother, his rabbi or at arranged dates makes us root for him, even as he struggles to pay rent, feed his son and get to work on time.

Menashe is presented primarily in Yiddish, and Weinsten goes so far as to cast ultra-orthodox New Yorkers, most of whom perform without a film credit. Not only does this add unprecedented authenticity to the film, it surprises with each natural performance; this is as real as it gets.

Add fantastic examples of traditional Jewish music and just enough humor and heart, and we’ve got one of the most fascinating and engrossing films of the year. (Alex De Vore) Center for Contemporary Arts, PG, 82 min.

+ PAINSTAKINGLY AUTHENTIC - A LITTLE SHORT

Director Joshua Weinstein presents an intimately heartbreaking and painstakingly accurate depiction of the Hasidim living in Brooklyn in Menashe, a tale loosely based on the life of its star, Menashe Lustig. Menashe lost his wife a year prior to the events of the film, and Hasidic law dictates his son Rieven must be raised with a complete family (we even learn that should Menashe remarry, the stepmother wouldn’t be allowed to touch his son). Thus, Rieven is sent to live with Menashe’s brother, a decidedly humorless stickler for rules who affords Menashe little respect and imposes the strictest of upbringings on his nephew.

Thematically, the film could have played out in any sort of community—love, loss and the underdog are universal—but by delving deep into the laws, customs and everyday lives of Hasidic Jews in New York, we are given a rarely-seen glimpse into a sect that operates in plain view but whose inner-workings remain unknown to most.

Lustig is phenomenal as the downtrodden father figure caught between his religion and

look like—she’s a fat white girl.

The “chasing your dreams” picture is not a new idea. It usually goes something like this: The main character has a talent and a dream.

They usually live in a shitty place and have a shitty job, which is only extra motivation for their ultimate goal. Obstacles and rivals rise and fall in front of them, and then there’s a final test which shows off their skills, heart, dedication. It probably doesn’t matter if they win or lose.

Within that framework, director Geramy Jasper’s first feature film is pretty entertaining.

Patti is charming and relatable. She’s filled simultaneously with self-confidence and selfdoubt. Australian actress Danielle Macdonald gives one of those performances where it would be difficult to imagine anyone else playing the role: like Tony Soprano or Napoleon Dynamite.

The story takes place in a fully developed world of suburban New Jersey’s hell of highways, parking lots and gas stations.

Jasper, who also wrote the script, imbues the world with subtle attention to detail and tough love for his characters that reminds me a bit of Mike Leigh. But ultimately, Patti Cake$ is a simple story done well, with lively performances and positive energy. (R Mitchell Miller) Violet Crown, R, 108 min.

+ FEELS GREAT - REALLY ONLY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE

Director Amanda Lipitz has come a long way from her days as producer for the Legally Blonde musical. Now she presents Step, a documentary examining the lives of young women juggling their step dance team and the pursuit of college acceptance during their final year at a Baltimore school for girls.

Lipitz zeroes in on three disparate and distinct voices: Cori, the over-achiever hoping for a full ride to Johns Hopkins University; Tayla, a relatively average student with an intense mother; and Blessin, the founder of the step team with a fiery personality that hides great sadness.

Lipitz sets the stage against the backdrop of the 2015 police murder of Freddie Grey, but other than some peripheral mentions of the tragedy and an emotionally flat field trip to Grey’s memorial with the step coach leading the way, the underlying theme is lost in the shuffle. We do, however, understand that as young black women living at or below the poverty line, the doc’s main subjects are at a disadvantage—but we’re left to simply know that, as Lipitz never digs much deeper into the matter than “They’ve got it hard; step dance is the escape, college the light at the end of the

tunnel.”

It’s a bleak picture and an often-heavy experience as we come to know the young girls and root for both their step team during competitions and their potential successes as students. When 100 percent of their senior class graduated from the Baltimore Leadership School for Young Women, the reaction feels exaggerated, but the college counselor and principal of the school care so much and try so hard that we can’t help but get swept up in their ethics and efforts.

It would have been nice to find out where the girls are today or even to have gotten a clearer idea of their home lives or trials and tribulations, and Step does come perilously close to emotionally manipulative. Still, there is an ultimate message of positivity and hard work that’s impossible to deny, and ample sentimental satisfaction that comes from knowing even those who struggle with intense adversity and systematic oppression can make their way and make their mark. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, PG, 83 min.

THE DARK TOWER

+ SUPER-COOL IDEA - SUPER-UNCOOL EXECUTION

A moment comes towards the end of The Dark Tower—Stephen King’s eight-novel series come to life on the big screen—when a thought occurs: “Are they really ending this already? What the hell?” Indeed, the long-percolating project from director Nikolaj Arcel (better known as writer for the original Swedish production of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) crams so very much into so very little time that practically everything suffers, not least of which is the pacing.

We follow a young boy named Jake (Tom Taylor) who, in the wake of his father’s death, has started having dream visions of a man in another world who’s hell-bent on destroying this mysterious dark tower that, like, stops demons from breaking into the multiverse somehow … or something. Of course, everyone from his mom to his therapist to his shit-heel stepdad (or mom’s boyfriend or whatever) doesn’t believe that the visions are real. Jake sure is persistent, though, and when he busts into that other world through some sci-fi portal machine, it turns out he was right the whole time and he’s got psychic superpowers that amount to some sort of telepathic communication ability.

An ancient battle was fought and lost here between the Man in Black (a seemingly bored Matthew McConaughey) and the Gunslingers, an ancient order of knights. It is eluded to that they might be related to Arthurian legend somehow … or something. Roland (aka the Gunslinger;

Step your ass to the CCA for Step. Now THAT’S how you write a caption.

Idris Elba, who makes a sincere go of it) is the last of the order, and having also lost his father (plus his buddies), he identifies with and joins Jake to stop the destruction of the tower and kill the Man in Black.

If it sounds cool, that’s because it could have been. But with so much source material and a relatively short running time, we don’t have a chance to care for anyone before the Man in Black’s cartoonish super-villainy gets out of hand.

McConaughey plays this in a too-calm-and-collected sort of way, which could say something about how he’s so evil he doesn’t even bother with emotions, but mostly it feels lacking in drama.

Oh, there are neat little visual tricks that show how the Gunslinger is super-good at reloading his guns in various ways, but the threats never seem particularly perilous and the Man in Black’s motives boil down to “he’s just evil” … or something.

The Dark Tower could have easily been twoplus hours and far more awesome; hell, it could have been two or three movies. In fact, it should have been. But if we had to guess, it’ll probably do pretty poorly and wind up on the cinematic ash heap forgotten to time ... or something.

stream film that deviates from the cinematic formula, but Nolan doesn’t let up for an instant.

From the terrifying desperation of those stranded on the beach to a shell-shocked soldier (Cillian Murphy of Netflix series Peaky Blinders as well as Nolan’s Batman films) too broken to return to battle and a selfless dogfighter (Tom Hardy) barely hobbling along in the sky, dialogue becomes sparse compared to the frantic reality of sinking ships, dropped shells and the cruelty of the human survival instinct.

Of course, there are only so many times you can see a bunch of soldiers abandon a ship, and the jarring nature of the heaving seas becomes nearly as difficult to watch as the violence. Still, moving performances from Mark Rylance and Kenneth Branagh—not to mention a surprisingly natural turn from Harry Styles (yeah, from One Direction)—remain a joy to watch, and the utter unfairness and brutality of war hang heavy over every last scene.

This isn’t just one of the best war movies in recent memory, it’s one that will no doubt be shown in schools and referred to forever as an artful depiction of one of the ugliest chapters in human history. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 106 min.

+ RELENTLESS YET BEAUTIFUL - LOTS OF PEOPLE JUMPING OFF SHIPS

In 1940, near the start of World War II, the Allied forces suffered a tremendous defeat against German troops in the town of Dunkirk in France. Subsequently, 300,000 soldiers would be evacuated by military and civilian watercraft, but not before immeasurable losses. It’s a harrowing tale not known to many who aren’t WWII buffs before now, but in Christopher Nolan’s sprawling yet concisely told Dunkirk, we see the tragic events play out with a relentless pace and attention to detail.

We follow three main narratives; that of soldiers stranded on a beach waiting for rescue over the period of a week, an hour in the lives of British fighter pilots, and a single day for a civilian pleasure yacht captain who helps retrieve said soldiers alongside his son and his son’s friend. Nolan presents an off-kilter look at each timeline, weaving in and out of the stories, though Dunkirk never feels disjointed. Rather, as bits and pieces from each angle are revealed, we begin to understand the incredible scope of the evacuation and just how lucky the survivors really were, though we’re faced with some hard truths before the credits roll.

It is, in fact, somewhat rare to see a main-

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of September 6th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You’re half-intoxicated by your puzzling adventures—and half-bewildered, as well.

Sometimes you’re spinning out fancy moves, sweet tricks, and surprising gambits. On other occasions you’re stumbling and bumbling and mumbling. Are you really going to keep up this rhythm? I hope so, because your persistence in navigating through the challenging fun could generate big rewards. Like what, for example? Like the redemptive transformation of a mess into an asset.

the songs that electrified our emotions all those years ago when we first fell in love with our lives. Starlight will glow on our ancient faces. The fragrance of loam will seep into our voices like rainwater feeding the trees’ roots. We’ll feel the earth turning on its axis, and sense the rumble of future memories coming to greet us. We’ll join hands, gaze into the dreams in each other’s eyes, and dive as deep as we need to go to find hidden treasures.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Free your mind and your ass will follow,” sings funk pioneer George Clinton in his song “Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts.” And what’s the best way to free your mind? Clinton advises you to “Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind.” That’s because the ideas you obsess on will eventually grow into the experiences you attract into your life. “Good thoughts bring forth good fruit,” he croons, while “Bullshit thoughts rot your meat.” Any questions, Taurus? According to my astrological analysis, this is the best possible counsel for you to receive right now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): James Loewen wrote a book called Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong. He said, for instance, that during the Europeans’ invasion and conquest of the continent, it wasn’t true that Native Americans scalped white settlers. In fact, it was mostly the other way around: whites scalped Indians. Here’s another example: The famous blind and deaf person, Helen Keller, was not a sentimental spokesperson for sweetness and light, but rather a radical feminist and socialist who advocated revolution. I invite you to apply Loewen’s investigative approach to your personal past, Gemini. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to uncover hidden, incomplete, and distorted versions of your history, and correct them.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Roger Hodge writes books now, but when he worked for Harper’s magazine, he had an unusual specialty. He gathered heaps of quirky facts, and assembled several at a time into long sentences that had a nutty poetic grace. Here’s an example: “British cattle have regional accents, elephants mourn their dead, nicotine sobers drunk rats, scientists have concluded that teenagers are physically incapable of being considerate, and clinical trials of an ‘orgasmatron’ are underway in North Carolina.” I’m offering Hodge as a worthy role model for you in the coming weeks, Cancerian. Be curious, miscellaneous, and free-flowing.

Let your mind wander luxuriantly as you make unexpected connections. Capitalize on the potential blessings that appear through zesty twists and tangy turns.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): I don’t usually recommend giving gifts with strings attached. On the contrary, I advise you to offer your blessings without having any expectations at all. Generosity often works best when the recipients are free to use it any way they see fit. In the coming weeks, however, I’m making an exception to my rule. According to my reading of the omens, now is a time to be specific and forceful about the way you’d like your gifts to be used. As an example of how not to proceed, consider the venture capitalist who donated $25,000 to the University of Colorado. All he got in return was a rest room in a campus building named after him. If you give away $25,000, Scorpio, make sure you at least get a whole building named after you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Now that you’re getting a taste of what life would be like if you ruled the world, I’ll recommend a manual. It’s called How To Start Your Own Country, by Erwin Strauss. (Get a free peek here: tinyurl.com/YouSovereign.) You could study it for tips on how to obtain national sovereignty, how to recruit new citizens, and how to avoid paying taxes to yourself. (P.S.: You can make dramatic strides toward being the boss of yourself and your destiny even without forming your own nation.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There was a time when not even the most ambitious explorers climbed mountains. In the western world, the first time it happened was in 1492, when a Frenchman named Antoine de Ville ascended to the top of Mont Aiguille, using ladders, ropes, and other props. I see you as having a kinship with de Ville in the coming weeks, Capricorn. I’d love to see you embark on a big adventure that would involve you trying on the role of a pioneer. This feat wouldn’t necessarily require strenuous training and physical courage. It might be more about daring creativity and moral courage.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Science fiction proposes that there are alternate worlds alongside the visible one— hidden, yes, but perhaps accessible with the right knowledge or luck. In recent years, maverick physicists have given the idea more credibility, theorizing that parallel LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In Japan you can buy a brand universes exist right next to ours.
