COVER, SEPTEMBER 5: “WAS DEBBIE RIGHT?”

NO THANK YOU PLEASE This month’s “fly-in” at the Santa Fe Regional Airport caters mainly to private plane owners, yet ordinary residents and small business owners are the ones to bear the brunt of the extra noise and air pollution. The decision to host the event at our tiny airport is part of a pattern, one that prioritizes elite interests over the investments and quality of life of residents in the south half of town. If airport management and city council truly care about creating a sustainable model for our airport going forward, it’s time to address the divide between the wealthy pilots our airport serves and the ordinary homeowners who must endure the pollution produced by the one percent.

Now More Than Ever

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

ocal groups led by the immigrant organizing nonprofit Somos Un Pueblo Unido are launching a campaign to naturalize some of Santa Fe County’s 4,000 lawful permanent residents.

The effort, dubbed Citizenship Now!, happens in coordination with the city, and includes a public information offensive, community forums, workshops to prepare for citizenship exams and interviews, and other means by which permanent residents can learn how to jumpstart the naturalization process.

Officials announed that the two-year, $50,000 grant to pay for the program will be awarded to Somos if the organization is able to collect matching donations. Mayor Alan Webber’s office submitted a joint application with the group for the America is Home award, an initiative of the Cities for Citizenship group chaired by the sitting mayors of New York City, Chicago and Los Angeles. Santa Fe was one of 14 award recipients across the country. The city of Albuquerque, which applied with the local organization El Centro de Igualdad y Derechos, was also awarded a grant.

Neza Leal-Sánchez, a spokesperson for Somos, says the award comes at a time when legal permanent residents feel vulnerable to the Trump administration’s deportation policies.

At the end of 2017, there was a 42 percent increase in foreigners arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and a recent NBC analysis found that federal arrests of undocumented people without criminal records has tripled under Trump.

Lawful permanent residents have permission to live and work in the country, and can usually travel outside the US without problems. However, permanent residency status is not a shield against deportation, particularly if a person is convicted of an aggravated felony or certain drug offenses.

“There’s nothing permanent about being a lawful permanent resident,” LealSánchez tells SFR. “The sense of vulnerability is very similar to that of undocumented immigrants.”

At a Monday morning press conference in front of City Hall, several women who spoke at a podium said they and

New campaign aims to boost citizenship for immigrants in Santa Fe their families had been lawful permanent residents for years and even decades, but would now apply for citizenship through Citizenship Now!.

Yvonne Miranda, a customer service supervisor at Kohl’s in Santa Fe and a lawful permanent resident, says she’s had trouble finding time between work and family to pursue naturalization, including preparations for a citizenship test.

“Every day I’m a little too tired to take the classes and to learn the materials; it’s going to take some time,” Miranda tells SFR. “I’m hoping more people will join [to become citizens].”

Marshaling community resources into a citizenship drive was a “logical next step” for the immigrant community in Santa Fe, said Somos Executive Director Marcela Diaz. Webber said the plan takes the “offensive” against the federal government’s immigration policy.

“We get a chance to do something constructive, where we take legal residents in a position to take the next step in our community and become citizens, full participants in our democracy with voting rights and the opportunity to have their voices heard in all the arenas,” Webber said.

As part of the project, the city will make certain resources available, such as space at public libraries where people can pick up information about the naturalization process, and will also be at the ready to offer naturalizing citizens information on how to start businesses.

This isn’t the first time Somos has launched a citizenship drive in New Mexico, where some 55,000 lawful permanent residents live. It started a similar effort in the state’s four southeastern-most counties in 2016, resulting in about 200 people “who have already gone through process of citizenship or are in the process of [attaining] citizenship,” according to Somos organizer Marina Piña.

“They’ve become voters, [they’ve] been able to register family members who are US-born citizens or naturalized citizens to go out and vote,” Piña said.

Citizenship forums are planned for Oct. 10 at Sweeney Elementary School; Nov. 13 at Guadalupe Credit Union on Airport Road; Dec. 4 at Santa Fe Area Homebuilders Association; and Jan. 9 at the Center for Progress and Justice. For information, call Somos at 424-7832.

Santa Fe Institute lecture series examines the math and morality behind computers’ role in society

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

C

omputers map our driving routes, buy our groceries and have even been known to write poetry. But as society increasingly depends on technological interfaces in more conflicted areas, ethical and legal concerns also grow.

Cris Moore, a professor at the Santa Fe Institute whose work focuses on computer science, math and physics, will deliver two lectures on “The Limits of Computers in Science and Society” as part of an SFI series. Moore served two terms as a city councilor for District 2 starting in 1994.

This interview was edited and condensed for style and length.

SFR: The first lecture discusses why some problems are easy for computers to solve, and others are hard or impossible. What are some examples?

CM: So when you ask Google Maps to find you the shortest path from A to B, there are a lot of possible paths, a huge number of possible paths—but it’s pretty easy for an algorithm to zero in on the shortest one. But there are other problems, like designing an airline schedule. Or there’s this classic thing, the traveling salesman problem, where finding the best solution is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Different problems have different structures: Some have the kind of structure that lets us zoom in quickly on the solution; some we can’t get a handle on. … There are questions that are deep inside logic and mathematics, like, for instance, Alan Turing, who was famous for breaking the Nazis’ Enigma code in England, proved there’s no program which can predict what other programs will do because you could ask it about itself and throw a twist in there and create a paradox.

That’s the halting problem?

Exactly. And this is close to [Kurt] Gödel’s incompleteness theorems that there are things

that are true but that we cannot prove— and I don’t mean things like sunsets are beautiful. Things even in math. … So, the two lectures are very separate, and you don’t have to come to them both. If you like the beauty of mathematics, come to the first. If you’re concerned about the rise of computers in society and the impact on us as humans, come to the second. And if you like both of those things, come to both.

Was there a particular issue that prompted your second lecture on the rise of computers in society?

The second lecture focuses on the use of algorithms in the justice system, and especially the algorithm that recommends to a judge whether you should be released or detained if you’re arrested. New Mexico, and to a greater extent Cali-

ANSO N STEVE NS-BO LLEN

Algorithms and Ethics

fornia, and some other states … are trying to move away from the money bail system where … whether you stay in jail or not is a matter of how much money you have.

The justice system is historically extremely biased. I think everyone knows that African American and Hispanic people are much more likely to be arrested than white people and, when they’re arrested, more likely to be charged with a crime, given longer jail sentences and on and on. Our justice system is terribly biased, as well, against low-income people. …

So a lot of people who care about reforming this system are enthusiastic about having an algorithm, a computer program, which looks at your criminal record, for instance, and comes up with a kind of score and based on that score makes a recommendation to the judge about whether you should be released or not. The hope is these algorithms are more objective and perhaps less biased than human judges.

But there’s a controversy over this.

Two years ago, ProPublica heavily criticized one of the algorithms that’s currently in use, COMPAS [Correctional Offender Management Profiling for Alternative Sanctions] and argued that it is, in fact, racially biased. There was pushback from some people, including independent analysts, saying it’s not really true, and it turns out even figuring what we mean by having an algorithm being fair is a thorny issue.

This is the issue of algorithmic fairness?

Yes. Algorithms are just as biased as the data we give them.

If we give them historically biased data, they are going to produce biased results. There’s a danger that they’re going to take the biases of society and put them inside this gleaming new box and hide them behind this sheen of objectivity and math, which nobody can argue with. … Algorithms might play a good role, but we need to apply a lot of critical thinking to them and demand a lot of openness and, at every stage,

think about whether they’re going to heal our biases or amplify them.

My understanding is that a piece of this issue is that COMPAS is proprietary.

That’s another huge issue. … The COMPAS formula is secret, so it’s not easy for independent analysts … [to] understand how it’s working internally. Now, in a bunch of states, and in Bernalillo, there’s another algorithm that’s in use, which comes from the [Laura and John] Arnold Foundation … [which] is really sincere about wanting to reform the criminal justice system. Unlike COMPAS, the Arnold formula is public. It’s a simple point system, and anybody can see how it works.

Does your lecture have a call to action?

I talk a lot about the need for transparency. I also think the results need to be presented in a way that embraces the uncertainty in them. … It’s important for judges and juries, defendants, parole boards, whomever is going to use these algorithms, to understand how much uncertainty they really have.

Does this interest in criminal justice and fairness indicate you might be running for public office again in your lifetime?

No. But I would love to work with people who want to figure out what New Mexico’s policy should be on these algorithms.

Cracking the Code

NEWS

Have changes to the county’s Sustainable Land Development Code worked?

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

t least it’s fixed now, theorizes Santa Fe architect and general contractor Carlos Kinsey.

“In the end, the [new] code helps in the future, but it hurt me and my client,” he tells SFR. “I lost that job. I was the architect and was also going to be the general contractor.”

Last fall, Santa Fe County weathered a storm of criticism over its implementation and interpretation of a new Sustainable Land Development Code. It tied building permits to improvements that had to be made to what were sometimes rutted or narrow dirt roads that had been around for decades. The roads were private, but the county wanted access to the homes for fire trucks and ambulances. If those roads were lengthy, the cost of a project could jump by tens of thousands of dollars.

That was the situation with Kinsey, where the price of his client’s $100,000 garage renovation and addition project jumped to $150,000 after the county rejected a building permit unless she added base course and 8 feet of width to a 1,000-foot-long gravel road in Arroyo Hondo.

Neighbors couldn’t be required to pay in such instances, even if the building permit application came from the last house on the road and everyone else benefited from the road improvements.

The county was getting deluged with variance applications. It was, ironically, unsustainable. SFR wrote a story about it (News, Oct. 4, 2017: “Take Me Home, County Code”).

Private road owners were less than thrilled about a plan that tied building permits to road improvements.

In late November, the county made several changes to the code which ease the requirements for landowners who want to improve existing property or build on property they’ve owned prior to the new rules.

They also allow much more flexibility when it comes to dealing with access for emergency vehicles.

County staff wouldn’t tell SFR if it’s made a difference in the number of variances they’ve had to handle, but anecdotally, it seems to be working.

“I guess no news is good news in that respect,” says Kim Shanahan, who heads the Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association. “I’ve not heard anyone complaining.

But there were issues last year.”

At the Board of County Commissioners meeting the week after SFR’s story ran, County Manager Katherine Miller said the county’s Land Use Department took the extraordinary step of closing its offices during the morning three days a week for training on procedures and how to better handle variance requests. Miller did not return a call from SFR. Filling in the blanks for the county, Shanahan says that month-long “navel-gazing review” appears to have been a worthwhile exercise in introspection.

SFREPORTER.COM

“I suspect that may have done just as much as the code change, if not more. It’s much more customer-friendly. It’s ‘How can I help?’ instead of ‘No, you can’t do that,’” he says.

That attitude seems to be reflected in the changes to the code, which allow the county fire marshal to request different sorts of fire prevention measures. In theory, that lessens the likelihood that county emergency vehicles would need to use a legacy access road that hasn’t been improved by its private owners.

“I deal with it on a daily basis,” says Fire Marshal Jaome Blay. “There’s so many areas in Santa Fe County that are existing that have already been built out.

And some areas don’t even have the easement to impose a 20-foot-wide access road. So what do you do? I mean, do you start knocking down people’s walls and homes for somebody else down the road who wants to build? It’s just impossible.”

While Blay handles requests on a case-by-case basis, he strives to make uniform requests of property owners that conform to all the other fire and construction codes. He’s working on a checklist of expectations to give to the Land Use Department for prospective builders.

“I would say 90, maybe even 95 percent of them understand the situation they’re in. And they always have the availability of an appeal of the decision,” he says. “But nobody has appealed, at least to my knowledge.”

Kinsey, the local architect, says he got a call from Penny Ellis-Green, the county’s growth management administrator, in February saying that the code had been changed and his building permit was approved. Great news—except he applied in the previous September. The job was long since gone.

Not only that, Kinsey says, but his client’s efforts to get the three other residents living on the private road to pitch in led to a bitter neighborhood divide. When none of them was willing to pay for an improvement they wouldn’t have otherwise needed to make, people who had lived together in harmony for a decade got angry at each other.

“She was at odds with her neighbors and they had a huge falling-out,” Kinsey explains. His client ended up listing her home for sale. “I think when the county makes these rash moves, they sometimes do it without thinking of the consequences.”

s the federal government considers New Mexico’s requests to impose new premiums on some of the state’s 830,000 Medicaid recipients, a growing number of cities and counties across the state are pledging support for a Medicaid-based public insurance plan open to everybody, possibly the first of its kind in the nation.

Beginning next July, the state anticipates that some of the 265,000 New Mexicans who enrolled in Medicaid as part of the federal government’s expansion since 2014, as well as enrollees receiving transitional medical assistance, will have to start paying a $10 monthly premium if their yearly income is 100 percent above the federal poverty level. That’s $24,280 for an individual and $50,200 for a four-person household.

This will be the first time that Medicaid patients in New Mexico face the prospect of losing benefits if they’re unable to pay. The state plans to offer a grace period for people who fall behind, but a slide produced by the Human Services Department doesn’t say how long it would be.

The department has also suggested premiums could rise to $20 in subsequent years, but a spokesperson for HSD did not respond to questions about the grace period or future increases.

Last year, the department held several public hearings about new premiums and co-pays for Medicaid enrollees. After collecting feedback, it reduced the income bracket wherein people would be charged premiums. Enrollees who go to the emergency room for “non-emergent” reasons and who opt for brand name drugs instead of generic equivalents would also pay $8 co-pays.

The proposed premiums and co-pays are contingent upon approval from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The agency has approved

waivers in at least four other states that would introduce work requirements (though a federal court blocked them for Kentucky). New Mexico hasn’t proposed work requirements for Medicaid, but it joins several other states with pending waivers that would allow them to kick people off Medicaid because of missed premium payments.

Republican administrations in various states have justified things like work requirements and increased premiums as necessary to “encourage more personal responsibility,” as Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson put it. (That state has charged premiums for Medicaid patients since 2016.)

Critics argue that these types of requirements are a means of removing people from public benefit rolls, part of a broader effort to undermine the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) after it resulted in about 11 million people nationwide getting onto Medicaid since 2014.

“This is just another insult to the Affordable Care Act, by the federal government allowing states to have more leeway in terms of how they use their Medicaid program,” says Dr. Lawrence Lazarus, a physician in Santa Fe who writes extensively about America’s health care system.

At an Albuquerque gathering last week for health care professionals who help people determine their eligibility for public benefits, hosted by the New Mexico Primary Care Association, one Medicaid enrollment counselor told SFR he was surprised to learn about S-

Making Medicaid Work

The state is making it harder to stay enrolled in Medicaid, but cities and counties are exploring a more inclusive option

the new premiums for Medicaid recipients, despite HSD’s public hearings last year. He says he wasn’t the only one who felt blindsided.

“There were a number of questions about how this would work exactly, because how do you prove income when it changes month to month?” said the counselor, who asked SFR not to print his name. “A lot of people have either cognitive limitations or just difficulty because they don’t have checking accounts or lack stability” and could lose benefits during lifesaving procedures, he added.

There are about 150 such enrollment counselors (labeled “presumptive eligibility determiners” by the state) in New Mexico, and 40 working in hospitals and clinics in Santa Fe County, according

The premium is still a new concept [and] we aren’t sure how that’s going to impact families in New Mexico.

to Eileen Goode, CEO of the New Mexico Primary Care Association. Goode says her organization attended HSD’s public hearings last year and questioned the premiums.

“The premium is still a new concept [and] we aren’t sure how that’s going to impact families in New Mexico,” Goode tells SFR. HSD is holding a few public forums throughout New Mexico for the rest of the month to inform people about the changes to the state’s Medicaid program, known as Centennial Care 2.0, which goes into effect Jan. 1.

In the meantime, health advocates in the state under the umbrella group NM Together for Healthcare have gone on a public relations offensive to garner support from cities and counties for a “Medicaid buy-in” program that would allow anybody to obtain health coverage offered through Medicaid, regardless of their eligibility.

There isn’t a set design for how this program might look, says Abuko Estrada, a staff attorney at the New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty. In January, state Sen. Jerry Ortiz y Pino, D-Albuquerque, introduced a bill encouraging the legislature to explore the financial implications of a buy-in program.

“It could be offered directly on the [state health care] exchange” as a state-backed public insurance plan, “or off the exchange,” Estrada says. “It could look sort of like a hybrid between what’s offered by the Affordable Care Act [exchange] plans now and a Medicaid benefits package. At the end of the day, it’s supposed to be an option to allow any New Mexican to buy into the Medicaid program.”

So far, officials in Bernalillo and McKinley counties, as well as the cities of Anthony and Sunland Park, have passed resolutions supporting potential legislation to create a Medicaid buy-in program. Last week, the legislative liaison for Santa Fe, Jesse Guillén, sent a letter about the buy-in proposal to Bernalillo County to ask for information.

Estrada says NM Together for Healthcare has contracted the research group Manatt Health to outline “several different options for New Mexico as to how the state can design a Medicaid buy-in option.” The results should be ready by the end of this month.

A win by two or more challengers would give women their first-ever majority on the New Mexico Court of Appeals

he notion struck Megan Duffy at an event she attended with several other women—and it struck her hard. It was Aug. 18. The gathering marked the anniversary of a seismic change to the US Constitution: Passage of the 19th Amendment, more commonly known as women’s suffrage.

“Women have only been able to vote in this country for 98 years,” Duffy says in a recent interview with SFR and New Mexico In Depth. “And this is the first year in our history that we are getting to vote for women in the large numbers we’re seeing. That’s amazing to me.”

Duffy is one of those women.

She is 38 years old. Based in Albuquerque, Duffy began her legal career as a clerk for then-state Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Bosson and has worked as a trial and appellate lawyer in private practice around the state since. Now, she’s running for a seat on the New Mexico Court of Appeals, one of the least-watched, least-understood, but busiest and most important cogs in the state’s justice system.

Duffy’s opponent is Judge Daniel Gallegos, who was appointed to a vacant seat on the appeals court in January by Republican Gov. Susana Martinez.

On the November ballot, three other partisan contests confront voters and line up identically: Democratic women like Duffy challenging Martinez-appointed Republican men for seats on the 10-member court.

Jennifer Attrep, a fifth Democratic woman— appointed by Martinez earlier this year—is running unopposed.

That means voters will decide the appeals court’s political makeup—five Democrats and five Republicans comprise it now—and whether a chunk of Martinez’ judicial legacy remains intact.

But a deeper historic shift hangs in the balance.

Four women sit on the Court of Appeals.

That’s their largest share since the court was founded in 1966, save for a few months in the early 2000s when women also made up 40 percent of appeals court judges.

A win by any of the four challengers this year would create the court’s first-ever even gender split. If two or more Democratic women oust incumbents, which one University of New Mexico political science professor says is quite possible, it could mean something even bigger.

Forty states have appeals courts similar to New Mexico’s, and several people interviewed for this story said the majority

of those courts are male-dominated.

That makes the state’s judicial races a microcosm of a national moment where, despite those male majorities, ballots feature historic numbers of women.

“The movement across the country with women running for office is incredibly inspiring to me,” says Duffy, a past president of the state Women’s Bar Association. “It’s definitely part of the reason I decided to run.”

Incumbents on the appeals court all say in interviews that a candidate’s experience and qualifications should guide voters’ choice at the ballot box; three said gender shouldn’t matter at all.

While none of the four challengers has previously sat as a judge on the appeals court, they all have extensive experience with appellate law including, in most cases, years working in the Court of Appeals as attorneys.

That said, none of the four believes a shakeup in the gender balance would necessarily have an impact on how in-

dividual cases are decided at the court, which weighs heavy questions about the state’s constitution and statutes. More often than not, it provides the final word when the government, a company or an individual believes a lower court has erred in a ruling.

But a female majority could send a signal to the legal community, says Kristina Bogardus, a former medical technologist who switched careers in the late 1980s, went on to work as a Court of Appeals clerk, and is now a trial lawyer in Albuquerque.

“If you are interested in appellate jurisprudence, this is an option for any attorney,” says Bogardus, who is running against two-time Martinez appointee Judge Stephen French. “And maybe [seeing more women elected] would make this seem more possible for women attorneys who are just starting out.”

Rod Kennedy, a Republican who retired from the appeals court in 2016 after nearly 15 years on the bench, says it could

do more than that.

“If things work right, there are things that a female supermajority could do to really change sensibilities,” Kennedy says, pointing to a recent publication by the American Bar Association that highlights senior female lawyers “who say female lawyers are still pushed around in the profession.”

“Ways of thinking about things could improve on the court,” Kennedy continues. “Fundamentally, legal questions remain legal questions. But the importance of some legal questions might be lost on male judges that is not lost on female judges.”

Beyond those questions, the Court of Appeals finds itself at a pivotal point, with a steadily high caseload and a handful of retirements in the past two years that already have created more judicial turnover than at any other time in the past two decades.

Further, the eight candidates in the contested races are competing for jobs

that pay the least in the nation for appeals court judges: Roughly $125,000.

Kennedy recalls a piece of political theater he used while campaigning in the early 2000s to emphasize how little attention most New Mexicans pay to the Court of Appeals.

“I would frequently go to a place and give my speech and hold up a $20 bill and offer it to anybody who could name three Court of Appeals judges,” he says. “I never, ever, ever lost my money. Sometimes they couldn’t even name me.”

The court’s low profile belies its importance.

“The Court of Appeals is the first and often final appellate court for most types of cases,” reads the boilerplate language in the court’s annual reports. That means when a party to a case believes there’s been an improper ruling in a lower court, they implore the appeals court to recon-

WHO’S BEHIND THE CANDIDATES? MARTINEZ CAMPAIGN BRAIN McCLESKEY BACKS FOUR REPUBLICAN JUDICIAL CONTENDERS

BY MARJORIE CHILDRESS, NEW MEXICO IN DEPTH

The 2018 election will be pivotal for discerning the kind of imprint Gov. Susana Martinez—the first female governor of New Mexico and the first elected Latina governor in the United States—leaves on New Mexico policies and laws. There’s a good chance many of her priorities, if not her methods, will live on if her successor is Republican Steve Pearce. Not so much if Democrat Michelle Lujan Grisham moves into the Governor’s Mansion.

How much she shapes New Mexico’s appellate court for the long term is another area worth watching.

Six judges on the 10-member court are Martinez appointees. Four—all Republican—face Democratic challengers this November. The appellate court is an important judicial panel. Each year it hears about 900 cases on appeal from New Mexico’s trial courts.

New Mexico’s election process for judges is an odd duck. Governors appoint them to vacant seats on the state’s various courts. In order to serve a full term, appointed judges must compete in a partisan campaign in the next election cycle. New Mexico is one of just seven states that require judges win a partisan election.

If they win, judges are only required to stand for “retention” in elections thereafter—meaning they appear on the ballot unopposed and must garner 57 percent of the vote to keep their seats. The four Republican Martinez appointees who have drawn Democratic challengers for an eight-year term on the appeals court are running in partisan elections this year. Her lone Dem-

ocratic appointee is running unopposed.

Judge Miles Hanisee is up for retention.

All publicly financed, the Republican candidates each received $208,445 from the state’s public elections fund while their Democratic challengers have each received $222,504. The amounts are calculated based on the number of voters registered with each party.

On the Democratic side, the four candidates are using three different consultants associated with the Democratic party— Traci Cadigan, Brian Morris and Heather Brewer—and contracting with several media firms.

However, all four Republican campaigns are using Martinez’ longtime adviser and consultant Jay McCleskey. McCleskey Media Strategies is providing video and other media strategies for a total of almost $70,000, according to campaign finance reports filed last week. An additional $7,000 from each candidate for statewide surveys and media guidance was paid to Public Opinion Strategies, the firm where his wife, Nicole McCleskey, is a partner.

Jay McCleskey is known for hard-hitting media campaigns, both for candidates and political action committees he’s been affiliated with over the years. These are the only four New Mexico candidates paying the McCleskey-affiliated companies as of last week’s campaign reports.

All of the appellate court candidates— Republican and Democrat alike—have on hand the bulk of their campaign funds, leaving plenty for advertising as Election Day draws near.

General wisdom is that judicial candidates don’t go for negative campaigning.

But there’s plenty of independent PAC money in the mix this year, a good chunk of it connected to McCleskey. McCleskey Media Strategies has billed $810,791 so far this election cycle to four PACs: New Mexicans for Progress, Advance New Mexico Now, Susana PAC, and NM Prosperity.

If a party remains unsatisfied with an appeals court decision, they can take it up to the state Supreme Court, which has the authority to decide whether it will hear the case in most instances.

familiar with the court’s practices and rhythms.

Along with Judges Emil J Kiehne and Hank Bohnhoff, Gallegos says his time on the bench and his past experience with appellate law compose part of his pitch to voters: “Experience and qualifications” mean a better-functioning Court of Appeals, particularly given all the recent turnover.

“I believe that since I’ve been on the court for more than a year and a half, I have acquired some of that institutional memory and that does give me an advantage over my opponent,” says Bohnhoff, who is facing longtime former prosecutor and appellate specialist Jacqueline R Medina.

Kennedy, the former judge, says all the candidates are qualified—and there’s plenty of institutional memory on the court, no matter who wins in November, to dig out of the backlog and make the appeals court function more efficiently.

“The last time there was massive turnover was when I first came on the court in ’99 and the early 2000s,” Kennedy says. “The more senior judges took it upon themselves to bring us along, and they did a good job.”

The longest-serving judge on the appeals court, Michael Vigil, with 15 years, is running for a seat on the state Supreme Court, a potential loss of some of that institutional memory. If he wins, the next governor appoints his replacement.

The incumbents acknowledged the value of diversity on the courts, including indicators such as background, experience and familiarity with the appellate system, along with gender representation.

But Judge Stephen G French, who is running against Kristina Bogardus, says in an interview that he doesn’t believe judicial elections should be partisan. “That would include identity politics,” he says.

Kiehne and Bohnhoff both say the voters they’ve spoken with don’t seem concerned with a candidate’s gender. “I’ve been campaigning since I took office last year,” Kiehne says. “I’ve talked with hundreds and hundreds of voters, and it isn’t an issue … and I don’t think it’s something that should matter to the voters.”

Lonna Atkeson, professor of political science at the University of New Mexico, isn’t so sure about that. “There’s definitely some gender politics going on in New Mexico,” she says, pointing out that, save for one, women won every contested Democratic primary race in the state in the 2016 election cycle.

“That’s really interesting,” she says.

“We know that women have a greater preference for women. I really think

there’s something going on there, especially in down-ballot races like judicial races.”

Atkeson also points to research that shows women are seen as less corruptible than men, which could factor heavily in a judicial contest. And then there’s an inescapable reality: For every registered Republican voter in New Mexico, there are one and a half Democrats. Voters often cast their ballots by party identification, Atkeson says. There’s also more than a fifth of registered voters who are not affiliated with a party.

A decision by the New Mexico Supreme Court last week striking down the option of checking a box to vote for all candidates of a particular party could throw a wrench in the Democratic challengers’ chances. But Atkeson says there’s more to it.

“There’s a lot of anti-Republican rhetoric out there at the moment, so enthu-

siasm might have an effect,” she says.

“That’s separate from voting with your tribe, but either or both could get a candidate over the incumbency hump.”

Finally, the prospect of a female majority on the Court of Appeals piqued Atkeson’s interest. She noted that the state Legislature has not been as quick to reach gender equality as other states—or as quick as with New Mexico’s judiciary.

Figures compiled by the Center for American Women and Politics show New Mexico ranks 15th nationally for the number of female legislators; just over 30 percent of the state’s House and Senate members are women. Across all courts in the state, women have 77 seats on the bench. That’s 40 percent of New Mexico’s judiciary and compares to 116 male judges.

Jacqueline Medina says she grew up in Taos, the daughter of a miner and a housewife. She didn’t know any attorneys.

Later, she met a few. They were all men.

“But I wanted to be an attorney, and I wanted to be a judge,” she tells SFR and NMID. Medina’s legal career has spanned 27 years. Twenty-four of those have been spent as a prosecutor, including more than a decade as an assistant attorney general. In that job, she was assigned more than 150 appellate cases.

She spent most of her interview with SFR and NMID talking about her experience, including time inside the courtroom and out; she says she’s spent innumerable hours reviewing trial court records and writing briefs for appellate cases.

But there’s something else.

“I’m excited that women are now starting to not only become attorneys, but also judges,” Medina says. “I think that’s a good thing, and I think it’s about time. It’s very exciting to me as a woman and as a woman of color, and it makes me think my state is progressive.”

Briana H Zamora also wanted to talk mostly about her experience. She’s never worked at the Court of Appeals, but as a 10-year veteran of the bench—first at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Court and now as a criminal judge at the 2nd Judicial District Court in Albuquerque— she would have the most recent trial court experience on the appeals court if elected.

Her current job has included authoring more than 50 decisions on appeals from the Metro Court. Many of those have been rulings on requests from prosecutors to hold criminal defendants in

jail pending trial—a relatively new area of New Mexico law that came along after voters in 2016 overwhelmingly passed a constitutional amendment that fundamentally changed the way bail bonds work in the state.

So-called “preventative detention” decisions by judges have dominated headlines in the state, which has been beset in recent years by spiking crime rates. It’s now an issue that, increasingly, is winding up in the lap of the Court of Appeals.

Judge Kiehne, Zamora’s opponent, counters the experience argument by pointing out that his whole legal career, which dates to 2000, has been spent on appellate law. He says that separates him from Zamora and gives him the edge.

There’s something else for Zamora, too: Her daughters are 7 and 11. She says her job and the rigors of campaigning have kept her away from them more than she’d like. “When I ask if they’re doing OK, they tell me: ‘Mom, we’re fine. We want you to keep going,’” Zamora says.

“That’s pretty amazing.”

It extends past family, too, she says, to young female lawyers around the state.

“If they see other women and women of color in leadership roles, they’re going to say: ‘I can do it, too.’”

Others believe technology offers humans the chance to rectify some of the ills wrought on Earth, and the examples are myriad, from addressing climate change to food shortages— read “An Ecomodernist Manifesto” (ecomodernism.org) for more thoughts on ecopragmatism, and the pursuit of positive integration of people and environment.

Two such integrative examples, both falling somewhat broadly into the category of land art, are available for Santa Feans to explore this month as the city has its prettiest and briefest season (autumn!).

Walk Abouts

Head to the Railyard Park, where mother-daughter team Miriam Sagan and Isabel Winson-Sagan, a poet and multimedia artist, respectively, have curated a show combining the Japanese art of suminagashi, haiku poetry and geocaching, a hide-and-seek game in which participants look for hidden objects using a global positioning system (more commonly, a GPS) via an app.

Sagan and Winson-Sagan have worked together for years creating interactive art projects, and visited Japan together in January. This project grew out of a workshop they conducted in the Railyard community room in which approximately 30 participants wrote Haiku poems and learned suminagashi—“paper marbling or ink painting,” as Winson-Sagan describes it. After the workshop, the two teachers took all the work and “created a third thing,” Sagan says. Treasure hunters can just wander the park to explore the works, or can use the geocaching app to hunt for them.

Sagan became interested in land art, doing site-specific text installations years ago.

“I think it started from traveling around the Southwest and looking at land art, and traveling around the United States and looking at outsider art, like Vietnam vets who built a giant beer can castle dedicated to marijuana. For some reason, things that are in between, that have a quality of being liminal, like in between what you’re supposed to look at … like the park [versus] your inner life or the dream of the city or the shadow of what’s going on … was really exciting to

me,” Sagan says. “But I wasn’t that exposed to people making it, and then I had some sort of religious conversion experience where I felt the world should be covered in poetry.”

In an earlier project, Haiku in the Hood, the two made fake street signs with haikus on them (translated by Winson-Sagan from the original Japanese) in their neighborhood and geocached them.

“People would come from Albuquerque and stand outside my house,” Sagan says. “It’s fun. It’s audience in the old-fashioned art sense.”

And the geocaching element, which Winson-Sagan describes as “treasure hunting for adults,” brings a new audience. “People who might not care about poetry or public art, they care about geocaching,” she says. “It’s our technological edge.”

For a different sort of art hunting, head to Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve, a Santa Fe Botanical Garden site in La Cienega. The preserve is open May through October for limited hours on Saturdays and Sundays. I’ve been visiting for years—it’s one of my favorite spots,

and a rare opportunity in Santa Fe to see mallards and bullfrogs.

The parking lot was decidedly busier than usual on a recent visit, partially thanks to a current installation by Axle Contemporary mobile art gallery. Wilderness Acts 2018: Art-In-Nature integrates into the preserve 11 artists’ temporary installations using natural materials, which one discovers while wandering its trails. Many of these pieces speak to the tension between humanity and nature.

For example, Munson Hunt’s “Reclamation’ (small)” marks the beginning of the trail into the preserve, as well as symbolizes humanity’s encroachment in nature. as the exhibition brochure states. The project began in 2014 to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1964 Wilderness Act, which protects federal land.

“I’ve been coming out here for years and I thought it would be a beautiful place to do installations in nature,” Axle cofounder Jerry Wellman says as we talk in the mobile gallery in the preserve’s parking lot. The project dovetails with Axle’s mission of “expanding the definitions of art” and “expanding the definitions of exhibiting art and the experience of art.”

And while the artists had complete freedom in their installations, Wellman acknowledges it’s “hard to avoid political thoughts now. Ecology, which is a science, is under siege by certain politicians. I don’t think making a direct statement was in our minds, but the indirect statement might be more long lasting and powerful anyway.”

HAIL, ANTHONY When we came across the music of 23-year-old rapper Anthony Gallardo, aka Anthonius Monk, in May, we called his sophomore full-length album Rhymes and Wisdom the best of the year.

And now Gallardo is set to outdo himself with his new release, Uncontrollably Driven. It’s an apt title: It’s his second album in the same year, and if Gallardo’s previous material serves as a guide, we can expect a love letter to the hip-hop game and his hometown Santa Fe, delivered with one of the smoothest and quick-thinking flows we’ve heard locally or anywhere. Hip-hop fans, get on board—Anthonius Monk is the best of the best.

DANCE SAT/22 FOR ALL YOU B-BOYS AND B-GIRLS AND B-NBS With changes sweeping Warehouse 21 (or whatever they call it now), one vital program seemed in flux: the breakdancers. One of the more positive (and let’s face it, cool) programs run at the teen arts center, it seemed like breaking had gone by the wayside. Breathe easy, then, because classes are back now at Rockin’ Rollers, to commence on Wednesdays. Whew!

See, instructors like Alejandra Avil have a love of breakin’, jukin’ and jivin’, and they’re passing it on patiently and passionately to a new generation. Just show up ready to dance and learn and Avil and crew will take care of the rest. (ADV) Youth Break Dance Class Registration Party: 5 pm Saturday Sept. 22. $5.

EVENT SUN/23 A DAY AT THE MUSEUM Santa Fe is known for a lot of things: Chile, art galleries and museums are especially integral to the Santa Fean society. Museum Hill is where a good portion of these museums live: the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture, International Folk Art and the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens are but a few of these prestigious and expansive institutions. Community Day is an annual event celebrating the community that gave them birth, offering activities, performances and free admission. If you’re visiting or just plain haven’t been to all of them, this is your best chance to do so. (Layne Radlauer) Museum Hill Community Day: 9 am-5 pm Sunday Sept. 23. Free.

FILM TUE/25

Social Justice Pirates Film documents women’s health care in international waters For many activists, regarding the medical and emotional crises facing women who are denied contraceptives and abortions in their home countries, they work to change the laws. That’s all well and good.

But in 1999, Dutch medical doctor Rebecca Gomperts took another tactic: She rigged up a boat as a medical clinic, started distributing birth control and performing abortions in international waters (about 12 miles off any given coast)— and made it all legal. Since the boat flies the Dutch flag, it follows the laws of the Netherlands, allowing imperiled women in conservative countries to come aboard and get the health care their own homelands won’t provide.

Vessel, the 2014 documentary about Gomperts’ continuing work, is shown this week as part of the Women’s Film Series from the Santa Fe chapter of the National Organization for Women. Afterward, a discussion with women’s rights advocate Julianna Koob and retired Albuquerque physician Dr. Sandra Penn outlines the state of reproductive health in New Mexico—which is actually brighter than some might expect. “Despite the fact that many

people think of us as very Catholic and therefore against reproductive rights,” Penn tells SFR, “it turns out that our community really values women making decisions for themselves.”

But now is not the time to rest.

In New Mexico, “we still have a law on the books that criminalizes abortion,” Penn tells SFR. “It is a leftover from prior to Roe v Wade, and there will be an opportunity during the legislative session to get that law off the books. … Given concern about Kavanaugh, given concern about the Supreme Court and their continuing work at whittling away at Roe v Wade, we want to make sure there’s nothing in New Mexico that would prevent us from protecting women’s reproductive health and rights.”

In closing, Penn says, “I’ve said to my patients in the past, and I still say it today: Pregnancy can be an accident. Parenthood should not be.” (Charlotte Jusinski)

MUSIC

In the Loop just two guys based in Los Angeles whose plaintive, bright take on instrumental rock music always draws a crowd.

Using live-looping and bass, Dunn builds songs onstage from scratch while Fogarty’s drumming lays the framework.

The music shifts seamlessly from shimmering, keyboard-mimicking melodic phrases to heavier passages of riffs that share as much in common with cerebral party-rockers Ratatat as they do with the deeper end of the post-rock pool.

At the core is a celebratory tone, especially on tracks like “You Are Enough.”

Even when the music gets heavier, it never turns dour. There are no rusted-out dystopias conjured, mostly clean Californian vistas with beams of light shining throughout. While certain touchstones of post-rock are present, it is a descriptor that does not capture the music’s unique identity.

“I don’t think we sound like those [post-rock] bands,” Dunn says. “We share some similarities for sure, especially being instrumental.”

He agrees that the music has a joyfulness all its own, however, and the band’s studio efforts consist mostly of overdubs rather than looping, lending more con-

El Ten Eleven continues to shine their light with instrumental rock that doesn’t weigh too heavy

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

T

here is a good chance you’ve heard El Ten Eleven’s music, even if the name does not immediately ping on your radar. For over 15 years, the duo—bassist and composer Kristian Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty—has reliably churned out albums of quality self-produced instrumental music and smartly licensed to film and television projects, quietly building up a musical empire. Dunn and Fogarty’s workhorse attitude and solid bond as a two-piece has granted them a rare longevity in the industry, allowing El Ten Eleven to regularly tour and record new material. Their new album, Banker’s Hill, out just last month on the band’s own Fake Record Label, stands alongside the best in their discography at a time when there are no further pyrotechnics to the story, no drug freak-outs or rock star histrionics;

trol over mixing and experimentation with sound.

“When we first started we were kind of obsessed with proving to the world that we could do it live,” Dunn explains.

“Pretty much what you hear on the record was how we’d do it live with maybe some little differences here and there. Lately, we’ve been allowing ourselves to drift away from that a little and what is on the record doesn’t have to be exactly like it is live.”

This difference seems important to Dunn. “When I go see artists live, if they do everything exactly as it is on the record, it’s kind of boring,” he says. “I could have just stayed home and listened to the record.”

But El Ten Eleven’s live show has evolved into more than just a display of technique for Dunn and Fogarty, and such attempts to keep things vital are as much for audiences as they are for themselves.

“Some of these songs we’ve been playing for 15 years—we’ve got to make it exciting for ourselves,” Dunn tells SFR. “I don’t want to be an actor up there pretending I’m into the music. I can’t do that; I have to actually be into the music.”

El Ten Eleven has also made another drastic change in its process with Banker’s Hill by using an outside producer for the first time ever. This means more focus when compared to previous releases, which may be credited in part to producer Sonny Diperri’s help in editing 22 songs composed by Dunn down to less than half that number.

“He was hugely responsible for the end result,” Dunn posits. “When we first started off, I didn’t want to have a producer because I knew exactly what I wanted to do. All these years later I was desperate for one because I really wanted some help making decisions. We brought in Sonny and he was perfect.”

The end result is tracks like album closer “This Morning With Her, Having Coffee,” which has a structured, sprawling atmosphere that builds like a calm storm, showcasing the sound of a band that has always known what it wanted to do and finally has all the tools it needs to make it happen.

Symbolic Representation and the Thrill of the Catch COURTESY NÜART GALLERY

Like fish nibbling on a hook B Y L AY N E R A D L A U E R i n t e r n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

John Tarahteeff’s “Spring (The Ruts)” asks more questions than it answers.

t’s hard to define the work of artist John Tarahteeff because his pieces often reject the vague categorical monikers we use to define such expressions of the self. He plays with light and realism, inviting the viewer to discern what his subjects are up to, but the scenes themselves tempt us to classify Tarahteeff’s work as surrealist. Still, when asked how he himself would describe his efforts, he hesitates.

“I guess ‘symbolic representation,’” he tells SFR. “There’s a degree of realism there, but most of the stuff I do is made up. Some people classify it as surreal, but that’s kind of a broad category.”

Tarahteeff paintings do indeed yield certain unusual and surrealistic circumstances—but they’re a far cry from the iconic works of Dali or Bosch. He paints clear, realistic figures doing realistic things; trees do not burst into lemons, elephants do not walk on stilts. In contrast, humans in Tarahteeff’s pieces fly kites

and go fishing; the symbolic representation present allows his subjects to tell their own stories and convey ways of looking at reality. They are perspectives on reality, not factual depictions.

In one piece, “Spring (The Ruts),” a red-headed girl wearing a swimsuit rests her foot on a stump, while a scrappy-looking dog searches for three multicolor patterned eggs underneath the log, all the while a small bicyclist expresses victory in the background. Whose dog is that and what are those eggs doing there? Moreover, what’s up with that rainbow?

The story, it seems, may be up to the viewer to extrapolate and, when compared to other storytelling art forms like film or photography, Tarahteeff only provides subtle nods to how he perceives his creations.

“A lot of it comes from older paintings, a traditional way of seeing what paintings have to offer,” he muses. “Before there were movies and photographs, paintings were the way of representing visual realities. Reality doesn’t tell you, per se, that this is how you should see the world. It’s the artists that create these devices, this language that has become painting.”

Symbolic representation is central to Tarahteeff’s artistic philosophy. In “The Undertow,” two fishermen are pushed off by a particularly strong wave with two half-naked women posing in the foreground. In this work, Tarahteeff may be showing the powerful nature of two forces—one in which two

A&C

fishermen are punished by the sea and one in which two women brandish their natural elegance. Then again, it could simply be a depiction of the consequences of fishing.

Strong images and mysterious stories are emblematic of what Tarahteeff is trying to express: that reality is subjective.

“I like that some of those things are made up, because they have sort of a reality to them,” he says. “It conveys an archetypal reality, rather than a ‘this is how things look’ objective perception. It’s a symbolic representation, which is more interesting to me.”

Take the role of fishing; Hooks, fish and fishermen are repeatedly present throughout Tarahteeff’s upcoming show Placeholder.

“Fishing is rich with allegories and ideas,” he explains.

“It’s part of our parlance of language: Several figures of speech come from fishing. … I think a big part of it is because it was part of my childhood. I tap into my childhood a lot in my work.

That world, there’s something about it that is palpable and related to painting. It’s like you’re on the hunt, you’re looking for something and you throw down some paint and it looks really nice. It’s like fish nibbling on a hook.”

THE CALENDAR with Arsenio Hall

COURTESY ARSENIO HALL

For some, the name Arsenio Hall is synonymous with his stint as a late-night talk show host. For others, it’s as a comic actor in movies like Coming to America. For others still, Hall is a stand-up comedian or Celebrity Apprentice winner—but no matter how you know him, it’s impossible to argue with how funny he is. We spoke with the legend ahead of his upcoming stand-up show (8 pm Friday Sept. 21. $29-$49. Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino, 20 Buffalo Thunder Trail, 455-5555) about his return to the mic, sequel rumors and his favorite joke of all time.

An extended version of this interview appears online at SFReporter.com. (Alex De Vore) Why come back to stand-up now?

I had gotten away from stand-up, and there’s something strange about when you get away from it— there’s this wall of fear that seems to grow, and you forget what you used to do and forget how good you were at it. You think, ‘I could never do an hour like when I was a young man.’ But there was always this thing in me when I’d go into a comedy club; I missed stand-up, talking about your life, having the unbridled freedom and that cathartic thing that goes along with stand-up.

I was going to come at you with something about Louis CK, but maybe we should stick to something lighter ...

Everybody I know is in trouble. Like Kathy Griffin.

The people have spoken and she does great in clubs, but she can’t get on TV. I’m one of these people who thinks one of the greatest things in America is that we forgive. And maybe she went a note too far, but our jobs are to push the envelope. I also think we treat women differently when they make mistakes. I was watching the other night, Sacha Baron Cohen, sodomize a Donald Trump dummy and taking dildos and stuffing them in the dummy’s mouth. And I’m saying, Kathy put ketchup on a head—she didn’t fuck the head. I’m not saying what’s right or wrong, but what are the rules? If Kathy is blackballed, then the people who sodomize these dummies should at least lose a couple hours’ pay. I don’t get what the rules are anymore. I understand when you’re dealing with Cosby or CK. ... When you abuse women, that’s always gonna be wrong, but when we’re talking about taste and what punchline is wrong or right, I have to say I feel bad for Kathy because I’ve seen men do worse. And by the way, I have to support her, because I want to be supported in my freedom of speech.

OK, so here’s that light one: Do you have some favorite joke of all time?

My fave joke of all time is a Jerry Seinfeld line. He says, ‘I have a canary and canaries are really stupid. I watch my canary fly directly into a mirror and fall to the ground almost unconscious, and you’d think if the canary thought it was a window, he’d try to avoid the other canary.’ That’s one of my favorites. I can appreciate other people’s witticisms.

ast year’s inaugural Santa Fe Theatre Walk, organized by the aptly named Theatre Santa Fe, featured 13 local theater companies doing short presentations at seven venues. Some companies reprised shows that had already closed; some previewed shows that were in the wings; others just had fun and played around. About 600 people came last year—and unless you’re Indian Market, getting that many Santa Feans in one place at one time is quite a feat.

Theatre Santa Fe is set to do it again this year, but ever bigger. A whopping 20 theater companies present at 10 venues— everything from American classics to new solo acts from local writer-actors to a behavioral existence laboratory (read on to see what that even means). There’s collaboration, expansion, experimentation and a bunch of high school students running around in commedia dell’arte masks.

If you’re an audience regular, you’ll see many familiar faces. If you’ve never seen local theater, this is a chance to learn what companies are like or preview what’s onstage in the next few months. And, if you’re a casual attendee who’s somewhere between a junkie and a noob, the day is going to be a fine mix of comedy, tragedy, weirdos and immense local talent from the most theater folks ever gathered together at one time around here.

MAKE IT STRONG: THE OVERWHELMING TASTE OF BOOZE DOESN’T MEAN GOOD. “I think, in general, the request to ‘make it strong’ is always annoying. Next person who tells me to ‘make it strong’ is going to get shot out of a cannon into the sun. I can make a crazy-strong drink that doesn’t taste just like booze, and one of these ‘make it strong’ people is going to make a comment. A good cocktail shouldn’t taste like straight booze, people! I also had a guy ask to sample all my super top-shelf tequila ($20-$50 per 2-ounce shot), and it’s like, ‘There is nothing you can learn from a drop of liquor!’”

Guilt Tip

@THEFORKSFR

quite some time before he angrily says, ‘Well, why the hell not, asshole?!’ and storms out.”

CUTOFFS: THEY AREN’T DOING IT TO MESS WITH YOU. “It’s pretty rare, all things considered, but every now and then you’ll have to cut someone off. This never goes well. I’ve had everything from screaming patrons, negative Yelp reviews and, once, a lady tried to take a swing at me. They never seem to realize that not only am I covering my own ass, I don’t want them to go out and hurt someone or themselves. Remember that we have to take classes to be licensed to serve alcohol, and we also can wind up paying huge fines if we don’t take it seriously.”

ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

OH, PUKE! WHO AMONG US HASN’T VOMITED NOW AND THEN? “This actually happened just tonight— gave a group of guys a shot and one of them chugged his, then threw up in his glass. The perfect, same amount as the glass. Threw that shit away.”

MAKE UP YOUR DAMN MIND! I’M BEGINNING TO THINK THIS WAS THE PLAN ALL ALONG! “I once had a woman order a pale ale and drink most of it before deciding she didn’t like it. That’s OK, that happens. So I let her switch to an IPA—even though I warned her that it would be far more bitter—without charging her for the first beer. She drank most of that one, but didn’t like it either. Being the nice guy I am, I wanted to make sure she enjoyed her experience, so I offered some less bitter suggestions, we settled on something light and she drank all of it before, big surprise, she decided she didn’t like that one, either. She didn’t want to pay for any of them, because the

The following stories come to you from local drink-slingers, some of whom you’ve probably even met and been served by (though all names and locations have been omitted to protect them from the general public—and management). Just remember these words the next time you’re out on the town—these people work hard and don’t deserve any of your crap. Find the original uncut piece in our 2017 Restaurant Guide.

THIS IS NOT A JOKE, SIR! HOW NOT TO DAD IT UP.

BY ALEX DE VORE

way beer tastes is obviously my fault, but after a tense exchange, she said she’d just grab her wallet out of the car. She never returned. I don’t think it’s crazy to assume people will pay for the drinks they drink, but she clearly did.”

DON’T MAKE THE LIST! BEHAVE YOURSELF WHILE ORDERING. “So far I’ve just thought about things that annoy me: -Making out at the bar while trying to make an order -Yelling for a bartender then ignoring them

FOOD

-Snapping, whistling, yelling, creeping -‘Keep the change, babe,’ when, in most occasions, there’s zero [change] or not enough to cover the bill.”

KNOW WHERE YOU ARE! ODDLY ENOUGH, THE BARTENDERS DON’T OFTEN DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT A PLACE SERVES FOOD. “This guy says, ‘What kind of food do you have?’ and I say, ‘We’re just a bar.

No food.’ We stare at one another for

“I work in a restaurant, but we have a bar, too, and I remember this one guy who tried to order a margarita for his clearly underage daughter. But I figure that I’ll just ask for an ID, and when she doesn’t have it, that’ll be the end of it. So the dad says something like, ‘It’s OK, I’m her dad!’ as if that means it’s cool for me to break the law. Well, it’s not OK. I explained I could get fired, pay fines, go to jail, so they begrudgingly agreed to let it go. The dad still ordered a margarita for himself, and a few minutes later I notice he’s sneaking sips to the daughter, so I go to take it away from the table. And somehow I’m the jerk. At first he laughed it off like it was nothing, but when I told him I was serious and I couldn’t leave the drink … Well, I’ve never seen someone so full of rage over what was obviously their own fault, and I actually fear for that girl going through life with a dad like that. It shouldn’t be that difficult—if someone is underage, they aren’t drinking.”

T

is On My Side The Santa Fe Wine and Chile Fiesta is the biggest vino festival the City Different sees all year

BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN |

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

GABRIELLA MARKS

he interim between the end of summertime tourism and the winter holiday season inevitably brings gorgeous weather, blessedly quiet streets and a distinct lack of commerce in Santa Fe. Thankfully, then, the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta runs Sunday to Sunday, Sept. 23-30, providing one last week of bustling activity before the off-season sets in.

The executive director of the fiesta, Greg O’Byrne, estimates that 4,000 guests will attend, with 50 percent from out of state, 25 percent from Santa Fe and 25 percent from the rest of New Mexico. Attendees can enjoy cooking demonstrations at the Santa Fe School of Cooking (125 N Guadalupe St, 983-4511), wine tasting events at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center (201 W Marcy St., 955-6590) and guest chef luncheons during the daytime.

Tickets to each event are sold separately, and the costs are not for the faint of heart. For example, for $150 a pop, some will attend a sold-out al fresco luncheon cooked by Josh Gerwin of Dr. Field Goods set against the stunning mountain views of the Allan Houser Sculpture Garden.

Transportation is provided from the Convention Center to the studio’s out-of-town location. But when the wines in question are simply entry-level prosecco from Bisol and Jeio, why the prohibitive price tag? It must be one hell of a view.

Unquestionably, the fiesta caters to a high-end clientele. This is reflected in the nature and tone of its major events, which include a silent auction of 75 rare wine lots on Friday at 4 pm at the Convention Center. Tickets are available for $110 each. The culmination of the Wine & Chile Fiesta is the Grand Tasting at the Santa Fe Opera from 1-4 pm on Saturday Sept. 28. Tickets ran $175 a pop and are already sold out, but your mileage may vary on the virtues of the wines being poured and celebrated— some of which are rare and important, and others which are decidedly not.

You, too, can sample most of the wine and food of the upcoming Wine & Chile Fiesta.

It wasn’t always so glamorously exclusive. The Santa Fe Wine & Chile Fiesta began as a one-day event in a parking lot with 20 wineries and 20 restaurants in 1991. Conceived by Mark Miller of Coyote Café, Al Lucero of Maria’s and Gordon Heiss of La Casa Sena, the aim was to showcase the heights of both Santa Fe’s hospitality and local cuisine in the context of fine American wine. The former general manager of Coyote Café, O’Byrne was brought on in 1994 to become the Fiesta’s executive director.

As the years went by, the fiesta’s scope

expanded, particularly when it came to the global wine community; 1994 featured 25 local restaurants partnered with 40 wineries, mostly from California. This year, nearly 90 wineries and importers and more than 40 local restaurants, plus a spate of sommeliers and chefs, fill the roster. O’Byrne credits the growing involvement of wine importers and wholesalers.

“The importer involvement has boosted the quality and scope of the event,” he says. “And like the Santa Fe restaurant scene expanding, so have wines from other

!POUR VIDA¡

parts of North America, particularly Oregon, one of my favorite regions for quality people and wines.”

Certainly, the presence of importers and their international portfolios provides much needed diversity to the fiesta’s focus on American wines, and are the only reason why German, Spanish and French wines make an appearance during its seminars and tastings.

Nowhere is this American-centric focus more apparent than in the series of wine dinners taking place throughout the week at the restaurants participating in the Grand Tasting. These are not fiestasponsored events, and reservations are required. Standard bearers of American winemaking are included, such as the Ridge Vineyards Dinner at Terra at Four Seasons Rancho Encantado (6 pm Thursday Sept. 27. $250 per person. 198 Hwy. 592, 946-5800).

There’s a Rombauer dinner at La Casa Sena (125 E Palace Ave., 988-1919) on the same night, for $125 a person. Or there’s the dinner showcasing the cuttingedge Spanish wine portfolio of Jose Pastor Selection at Joseph’s (6:30 pm Wednesday Sept. 26. 428 Agua Fría St., 982-1272). Tickets are $125 per person and the event features guest chef David Sellers of the Street Food Institute.

Still, Wine & Chile Fiesta is an exciting and important time for the business it brings to Santa Fe during the painful descent into the winter season. It galvanizes the service industry, the people who work in wine retail, the wholesalers and distributers who belong to the local beverage and hospitality community. Hopefully it will continue to evolve, with an eye towards better serving the people local to Santa Fe who simply love wine, all while continuing to attract different demographics of wine drinkers by representing a more modern view of the contemporary world of vino.

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

We could really sum this movie up in two sentences: The world is hard. Watch these puppies.

But there’s actually a lot more to the story of Pick of the Litter than puppy distraction.

The documentary follows a litter of Labrador retrievers from birth through training as guide dogs, as well as the people along the way who teach them and kiss them on their irresistible little heads. Meet Patriot, Potomac, Poppet, Primrose and Phil.

Guide Dogs for the Blind breeds roughly 800 puppies each year, but only about 300 pass the rigorous standards to become workers. Others get “career changed,” freed to have normal dog lives because some part of their demeanor isn’t suited for the important job.

The training process starts right away, while puppies are still taking adorable naps. After two months, they go home with puppy raisers who

+ DOGS WITH JOBS!

- YOU WANT A PUPPY NOW (OR MAYBE THAT’S A +?)

live with them for up to a year and teach them expected obedience skills with tutelage and regular check-ins with the program. Then, the dogs have to buckle down for 10 weeks of intensive training with professionals. One of the most impressive segments features cars that hurtle toward blindfolded walkers to test the dogs’ ability to keep the pedestrian safe. They end up better at this than your average human with a cell phone. Way better. The dogs are also really good at going to the airport, using an escalator and an elevator, and watching for steep drop-offs.

The narrative tension in the work is that, of course, of five puppies born at its start, not all make the cut. Cue tear-jerking moments

when trainers have to say goodbye or get hard news from the clinical precision under which the program operates. Yet, the real climax happens when successful dogs are matched with sight-impaired people who need their help.

Some of them have been waiting for more than a year for the chance. How often do you know the very moment you’ve met your new best friend?

THE PREDATOR

+ JUST REALLY DUMB BUT FUN - JARRING PACING; DID WE MENTION IT’S DUMB?

Director Shane Black jumps into the Predator franchise with yet another sequel or, like, entry in the universe. It’s a dumb sequel, too, but it’s dumb in all the ways you want an action movie to be, and given Black’s pedigree as director or writer for movies like Lethal Weapon, The Last Boy Scout and far too many more to list, we were kind of betting on overthe-top action as opposed to high cinema.

It is the present, and one of those terrible, horrible, no-good, sometimes-invisible Predator aliens crash-lands on Earth with its dreadlocks in tow, and Army sniper Quinn McKenna (Narcos’ Boyd Holbrook) finds its stuff and mails it home. Why? Because, umm, he knows he’ll be detained by the shadowy alien hunter arm of the government and he wants to be able to prove he’s not crazy. Following us? Word.

So anyway, McKenna totally does get detained, whereupon he winds up joining forces with a bunch of other reportedly crazy soldiers played by Thomas Jane and KeeganMichael Key and a few others who’ve also been classified as crazy. And then in turn they join up with a scientist who mostly just shoots guns

instead of doing science (Olivia Munn), and everyone sets about fighting the Predator. But, ruh-roh—an even crazier Predator shows up, and starts Predator-ing even harder; bullets, alien weapons, explosions and gore abound.

following the movies and comics since the 1980s or something, but those who go in cold will probably feel lost. Beyond that, there are scenes that leap jarringly to or from others that make little sense, and the comic relief feels more like the result of focus testing than it does an organic addition to the mayhem.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT

Holbrook is fine as the easily forgettable sniper caught between his bad luck and family, but we’re pretty ashamed for Munn, who has proven quite capable in other films and TV shows but here feels like a pointless addition.

Ditto for McKenna’s kid, a negligible character who may as well have been named Motivation in the script. There are also space dogs; literal space dogs. Ugh. Still, spines get ripped and faces get shot and the bigger, crazier Predator does make for some enjoyable fight scenes. Hold off until you can watch this at home and tear it apart with your friends. We promise you’ll like that better.

MOVIES mer popcorn flick starring what’s-her-face from American Horror Story (Taissa Farmiga, who of course is related to The Conjuring’s Vera Farmiga), some dude as a priest (Demián Bichir) and some other dude as the French Canadian version of deus ex machina (Jonas Bloquet).

Spooky goings-on abound in an ancient convent in the hills of Romania, so when a nun from the cloister offs herself (the ultimate sin in Catholicism, we’re told), the Vatican sends their best evil and/or miracles investigator to see what’s up. Turns out an evil presence has been tearing it up out there and messing with the hundreds of years of perpetual adoration maintained by the nuns. Supernatural devil stuff ensues with minimal hints to the principal characters’ back stories, subtle nods to the property’s outlying universe and any number of “Did that actually just happen?!” jump scares.

This makes The Nun feel exhilarating at times, even if it suffers from disjointed filler scenes that only seem to exist as setup to the run-ins with the demon, who appears as a sincerely frightening nun. It’s the eyes, y’know?

The eyes. Actors’ performances, meanwhile, are serviceable, though they usually have more to do with wide-eyed heavy breathing than actual acting; we get minimal information about demonology and something about the Knights Templar. Whatevs.

But we didn’t show up because we hoped for the contemporary horror equivalent of Citizen Kane—we showed up because the monster is scary, the jump scares are plenty and we need distractions from these waning warm days. Add another notch to your horror movie record for sure, and enjoy the spooks—just don’t think about anything too hard. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 96 min.

KIN

7

+ COOL PREMISE, CONSISTENT FEEL; TRUITT AND FRANCO - REYNOR AND THE FINALE

Before you go see KIN, know this: There’s going to be a sequel. There has to be.

The feature film debut of directors and brothers Jonathan and Josh Baker walks a weird line between gritty reality and otherworldly sci-fi. The Baker brothers have only written and directed a handful of short films, and KIN is based on 2014’s Bag Man. It’s an admirable effort that hangs together well, despite some obvious shortcomings.

As the film opens, we meet Eli Solinski (promising newcomer Myles Truitt), a smart but troubled kid who is the adopted son of Hal, a hardworking widower played by Dennis Quaid (Something to Talk About). When he’s not getting in trouble at school, Eli has a side hustle selling

wire from abandoned Detroit buildings. That’s where he finds a futuristic gun that is the film’s strongest tie to science fiction until the very end.

Eli’s older brother is Hal’s biological son, Jimmy (Jack Reynor, Grassland), who just got out of jail. He’s in deep with local dirtbag Taylor (James Franco, Freaks and Geeks) for protecting him in prison. It’s the reason Jimmy and Eli (kin, get it?) have to hit the road, with Taylor close on their heels.

Also on their heels are two soldiers from the future who seem pretty anxious to get that gun back from Eli. Everyone eventually catches up to Jimmy and Eli and the film comes together in very cool way, but with only minutes to wrap it up. Franco’s larger-than-life-gangster arc fizzles, and most of the plot questions are addressed with what feels like a line or two. That’s the beef most people seem to have with the film, anyway, and it’s legit.

The Bakers hooked up with Stranger Things producers Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen, and the film has strong ties to the feel of that series, right down to Eli riding his bike everywhere in the beginning. Overall, it coalesces pretty well with respect to tempo and mood, but weak spots include Reynor’s performance, as well as a strong need for a few minutes more on the tail end to get the viewer more invested in the plot twist.

KIN is getting panned big-time on metrics

sites like Rotten Tomatoes and MetaCritic, but those ratings feel a bit impatient. If this movie does stand alone, you’ll have reason to be disappointed, but if it’s the start of something innovative (or even just interesting), you’ll be rewarded. It plays pretty well on the big screen, so if you’re going to roll the dice, do it soon. (Matt Grubs) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 108 min.

CRAZY RICH ASIANS

7

+ VERY PRETTY; WU IS THE BEST - CHECKS OFF ALL THE STAID ROM-COM BOXES

It’s been well over 20 years since a mainstream American-produced film featured an entirely Asian cast (the last one was The Joy Luck Club in 1993, by the way, and Asians still remain the least-represented ethnicity in movies)—but with the release of the explosively popular Crazy Rich Asians from Now You See Me 2 director John M Chu, this alarming issue may change. Or at least be addressed better by Hollywood? Fingers crossed.

Representation matters—even if the underlying plot of the Kevin Kwan book-turned-movie follows a relatively formulaic plotline. Constance Wu (Fresh Off the Boat) is Rachel Chu, a young NYU econ professor who has fallen for the uber-charming Nick Young, heir to bazillions of

family dollars, but who hasn’t told Rachel that he’s rich despite their year-long relationship—an interesting factoid she only discovers once the pair heads to Nick’s homeland of Singapore for a wedding. A seriously fancy-ass wedding.

Cue mild drama (she forgives him for not mentioning the rich thing pretty quickly) and jokes about how things sure are different over there.

Wu asserts her leading-lady position brilliantly, a comedic actor with a knack for sublime timing and who has proven her chops on television for years. Here she portrays a cool and up-for-anything type who bravely fields Young family drama from Nick’s mother (the talented and graceful Michelle Yeoh of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon fame), vindictive, jealous exes and petty rich types; get this woman in more projects immediately, someone.

Elsewhere, B-plot elements feel shoehorned in at best, particularly the crumbling marriage of Nick’s sister Astrid (Gemma Chan) and a wildly pointless role portrayed by Silicon Valley’s Jimmy O Yang. Henry Golding (who you probably don’t know yet) is serviceable as the handsome and apparently magnetic Nick (he hangs out at the YMCA and borrows Rachel’s Netflix password so, like, he’s not one of those rich people). As is the case with most characters, we get a primer in his deal within the film’s early minutes, though nobody outside of Rachel really develops beyond their baseball card stats. Community vet Ken Jeong is, as almost always, underused, even if his daughter (played by rapper Akwafina) does provide some of the most organically funny moments of the film. Nico Santos (of NBC’s Superstore) feels misused as well, a very funny actor who gets only a few lines that mostly just reaffirm that his character is gay.

But it’s fun to see sweeping aerial shots of Singapore, especially when used in conjunction with the over-the-top lifestyle of the Young family.

Fireworks happen, y’all.

And then eventually we’re fed a rom-com trope about Rachel and Nick’s undying love having nothing to do with money or status or making overbearing family members happy.

The sorta-kinda-twist, however, lies in the stark reality of drastically differing social stations. This feels perhaps more true-to-life than plenty of the genre’s other examples, but still—wouldn’t you know it—love conquers all.

Thank goodness, then, for the fantastic music found throughout Crazy Rich Asians that generally comes in the form of hit American or British songs covered in Chinese. This really sets a tone that makes non-Asian viewers feel welcome but still out of our element, a seemingly small yet clever touch in a film that is definitely aiming for fun rather than high art. Hopefully, though, it won’t be another two decades before Asian filmmakers and CONTINUED ON PAGE 51

BLACKKKLANSMAN

10

+ IMPORTANT HISTORY LESSON; BRILLIANT PERFORMANCES

- LITERALLY NOTHING BAD TO SAY

Spike Lee’s newest is a film that should make you break down sobbing—dor the past, the present, and for the potential future, given this low point in human history. BlacKkKlansman so vividly and powerfully captures our attention, taking us right up to the brink of hope before abruptly pulling us back down to reality; where racism is very much alive and well, where former KKK grand wizard David Duke can appear publicly, without fear, where protesters are run down for daring to point out that Black Lives Matter and where non-white Americans struggle daily for their very humanity.

America first? Fuck you.

John David Washington (Ballers) is Ron Stallworth, the real-life Colorado Springs detective who, in 1979, infiltrated the ranks of a local KKK chapter by simply making phone calls to local white supremacists and even David Duke himself (Topher Grace). Jewish officer Phillip Zimmerman (played here by Girls and Star Wars alum Adam Driver) poses as Stallworth for in-person goings on, and the small investigative team uncovers and thwarts an assassination attempt on a black student activist (Laura Harrier of Spiderman: Homecoming). It’s a fascinating bit of American history and the actual Stallworth even penned a book about it (Black Klansman: A Memoir)—though Lee’s version is dramaticized. Before now, Stallworth’s story was ultimately relegated to the trivia pile for most Americans. Hopefully this film changes that.

Washington is electric as Stallworth, his lifelong desire to be a cop at odds with his burgeoning radicalism. Can change occur from the inside? Maybe so. Harrier wows as well, a strong black woman with a penchant for subtle vulnerability and a streak of well-earned rage. Even the white guys (some of ’em, anyhow) start to get it as best they can, but the racism rampant on the streets of Colorado Springs and within Stallworth’s department itself is shockingly casual— conditioned, maybe, but no less ugly. That casual hate grows bolder throughout the film, starting at something about how the Klan “is non-violent” and culminating in cross-burning and explosives among intense, heartbreaking, powerfully delivered lessons in black history. Corey Hawkins as Kwame Ture alone is worth watching.

But it’s not all heavy doom and gloom.

There is pain, shock and awe, yes, but artfully chosen moments of levity punctuate the more challenging elements and the editing and pacing are damn near perfect. And we should never look away, even if BlacKkKlansman proves hard to watch—especially for white people, and rightly so. If the events of Charlottesville or the similar re-rise of no-longer-afraid white supremacists haven’t clued you in to how the fight must continue, perhaps pop culture will. Either way, there’s a lot to learn and a lot to consider here thanks to Lee’s masterful filmmaking and the real Stallworth’s incredible achievements. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 135 min.

MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT

7

MOVIES

replacing these with palpable tension and absurd action pieces. Ghosts of Ethan Hunt’s (Tom Cruise) past come back to haunt him as a cache of plutonium is lost on his watch, and it’s up to the Impossible Missions Force (ugh) to combat a group of terrorists called The Apostles in retrieving it. Fans of the series will appreciate the gunplay, fistfights, mask-wearing and daredevil stunts provided by Cruise, anyone else will find a serviceable action flick that works OK for late summer.

Cruise is loose—hydrated and unstoppable, remarkable for a 56-year-old actor. Henry Cavill (Man From UNCLE), meanwhile, looks as if he’s been sleeping in his car for the last few weeks. He’s so puffy, he can’t fully put his arms down. Ving Rhames is surprisingly soulful as Luther Stickell, however, and his long-standing relationship with Cruise’s Ethan Hunt takes the forefront, further strengthening their 23-year bond.

Elsewhere, Rebecca Ferguson (Life) has the most spectacular character entrance in the film, and although she is underused, she is easily the biggest scene-stealer. Simon Pegg further proves he belongs in the series with some of the best scenes coming from his familiarity with every single recurring character. Alec Baldwin shows up, too, basically playing himself, but Angela Bassett capably counters his forgiving-father archetype with a stern mother character as head of the CIA. Sean Harris, the stereotypical villain, growls and makes threats. An honorable mention does go to True Detective alum Michelle Monaghan as it was particularly nice to see her come back to the series.

Christopher McQuarrie returns as well as series writer/director, following up his success with the fifth installment, Rogue Nation. McQuarrie’s directing style is competent enough as far as action scenes go, but between the too-frequent double crosses and an excess of cheesy lines (21 by this author’s rough count), his writing skills feel weak. The sets and cinematography simultaneously scream “pretty” and “fake.”

Still, as we approach late summer, there are far worse choices. Fallout is as silly as it comes, but at least it isn’t a disappointment. (Matthew K Gutierrez) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 147 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): As he stepped up to use an ATM in a supermarket, a Scottish man named Colin Banks found £30 (about $40 U.S.) that the person who used the machine before him had inadvertently neglected to take. But rather than pocketing it, Banks turned it in to a staff member, and eventually the cash was reunited with its proper owner. Shortly after performing his good deed, Bank won £50,000 (about $64,500 U.S.) in a game of chance. It was instant karma in dramatic action—the positive kind! My analysis of the astrological omens TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Budi Waseso, the former reveals that you’re more likely than usual to benefit from head of the Indonesian government’s anti-narcotics expeditious cosmic justice like that. That’s why I suggest division, had a radical plan to prevent escapes by peoyou intensify your commitment to doing good deeds. ple convicted of drug-related crimes. He sought to SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): As you dive down into build detention centers that would be surrounded by your soul’s depths in quest for renewal, remember this moats filled with crocodiles and piranhas. But his replacement, Heru Winarko, has a different approach. testimony from poet Scherezade Siobhan: “I want to dig He wants addicts and dealers to receive counseling in out what is ancient in me, the mistaken-for-monster . . . and let it teach me how to be unafraid again.” Are you comfortable rehabilitation centers. I hope that in the brave and brazen enough to do that yourself? It’s an coming weeks, as you deal with weaknesses, flaws, and sins—both your own and others’—you’ll opt for an excellent time to douse your fear by drawing wild power from the primal sources of your life. To earn the right to approach more like Winarko’s than Waseso’s. soar through the heights in November and December, GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In one sense, a “patron delve as deep as you can in the coming weeks. saint” is a Catholic saint who is a heavenly advocate for SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): According to author a person, group, activity, thing, or place. St. Jude is the Elizabeth Gilbert, here’s “the central question upon patron saint of lost causes, for instance. St. Francis of which all creative living hinges: do you have the courage Assisi is the guardian of animal welfare and St. to bring forth the treasures that are hidden within you?”

Kentigern is the protector against verbal abusers.

“Patron saint” may also be invoked poetically to refer to When I read that thought, my first response was, why a person who serves as a special guide or influence. For are the treasures hidden? Shouldn’t they be completely obvious? My second response was, why do you need example, in one of his short stories, Nathaniel Hawthorne refers to a veteran nurse as “the patron saint courage to bring forth the treasures? Shouldn’t that be of young physicians.” In accordance with current astro- the easiest and most enjoyable task imaginable?

Everything you just read is a perfect riddle for you to logical omens, I invite you to fantasize about persons, groups, activities, things, or places for whom you might contemplate during the next 14 months, Sagittarius. be the patron saint. To spur your imagination, here are CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A blogger named Sage some appropriate possibilities. You could be the patron Grace offers her readers a list of “cool things to call me saint of the breeze at dawn; of freshly picked figs; of besides cute.” They include dazzling, alluring, sublime, singing humorous love songs in the sunlight; of unpremagnificent, and exquisite. Is it OK if I apply those dictable romantic adventures; of life-changing epiphasame adjectives to you, Capricorn? I’d like to add a few nies while hiking in nature; of soul-stirring music. more, as well: resplendent, delightful, intriguing, magnetic, and incandescent. I hope that in response you CANCER (June 21-July 22): In August 1933, author don’t flinch with humility or protest that you’re not Virginia Woolf wrote a critical note to her friend, the composer Ethel Smyth, lamenting her lack of emotional worthy of such glorification. According to my astrologisubtlety. “For you,” Woolf told Smyth, “either things are cal analysis, now is one of those times when you deserve extra appreciation for your idiosyncratic appeal black, or they’re white; either they’re sobs or shouts— whereas, I always glide from semi-tone to semi-tone.” In and intelligence. Tell your allies and loved ones that I the coming weeks, fellow Cancerian, you may encounter said so. Inform them, too, that giving you this treatment could help mobilize one of your half-asleep potentials. people who act like Smyth. But it will be your sacred duty, both to yourself and to life, to remain loyal and faithful to the rich complexity of your feelings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “People think of education as something they can finish,” said writer and scientist Isaac Asimov, who wrote or edited over 500 books. His point was that we’re wise to be excited about learning new lessons as long as we’re on this earth. To cultivate maximum vitality, we should always be engaged in the processes of absorbing new knowledge and mastering new skills and deepening our understanding. Does that sound appealing to you, Leo? I hope so, especially in the coming weeks, when you will have an enhanced ability to see the big picture of your future needs for education.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Virgo businessman Warren Buffet is among the top five wealthiest people on the planet. In an average year, his company Berkshire Hathaway adds $36 billion to its already swollen coffers. But in 2017, thanks to the revision of the U.S. tax code by President Trump and his buddies, Buffet earned $65 billion—an increase of 83 percent over his usual haul. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, you’re entering a year-long phase when your financial chances could have a mild resemblance to Buffet’s 2017. I’m not predicting your earnings will increase by 83 percent. But 15 percent isn’t unreasonable. So start planning how you’ll do it!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “When the winds of change blow,” says a Chinese proverb, “some people build walls while others build windmills.” Since the light breezes of change may soon evolve into brisk gusts of change in your vicinity, I wanted to bring this thought to your attention. Will you be more inclined to respond by constructing walls or windmills? I don’t think it would be foolish for you to favor the walls, but in the long run I suspect that windmills would serve you better.

AYURVEDIC ASTROLOGY

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Many educated Americans and Europeans think of reincarnation as a loony delusion, even though it’s a cornerstone of spiritual belief for over 1.5 billion earthlings. I myself regard it as a hypothesis worthy of intelligent consideration, although I’d need hundreds of pages to explain my version of it. However you imagine it, Aquarius, you now have extra access to knowledge and skills and proclivities you possessed in what we might refer to as your “past lives”—especially in those past lives in which you were an explorer, maverick, outlaw, or pioneer. I bet you’ll feel freer and more experimental than usual during the next four weeks.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “The flower doesn’t dream of the bee. It blossoms and the bee comes.” So says poet and philosopher Mark Nepo in The Book of Awakening.

Now I’m transmitting his observation to you. I hope it will motivate you to expend less energy fantasizing about what you want and devote more energy to becoming the beautiful, useful, irresistible presence that will attract what you want. The coming weeks will be an excellent time to make plans to produce very specific blossoms.
