NEWS, SEPT. 20: “THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT”

LONG TIME LISTENER This is the first time in 39 years of reading the Reporter and the like that I have been sufficiently motivated to respond to a newspaper article. ...

If the young children in New Mexico are to have any chance in the future of competing in the National job market they will need to be educated in the best possible way.

Children from so many other parts of the country get better educations. In fact, we see, year after year, that the New Mexico educational statistics are at the bottom or near the bottom for the entire country.

During my almost 40 years living in Santa Fe, I have seen a continuum of politicians who choose to undereducate New Mexico kids. Money is never provided to attract or keep top-notch teachers.

Classrooms start every year on a shoestring. Parents are begged to support teachers with supplies that responsible school systems provide with no second thoughts.

Apparently most folks working in the Roundhouse like it this way. What, if anything, can be done to change the direction of New Mexico?

It would take a great effort to change the “system” but nothing will happen while Republicans control the purse strings.

PAUL REINDORF SANTA FE

DAGNAB IT, DOGMA Education Secretary designate Christopher Ruszkowski should never be confirmed by the New Mexico State Senate. Instead, he should resign. Any person willing to water down science should not be in charge of how it is taught in our schools. Mr. Ruszkowski and fundamentalist Christians are entitled to believe whatever they want,

but the rest of us do not have to abide by their religious and fossil fuel industry nonsense. Evolution is a fact. Man made climate change is a fact. Willful denial of facts is not science. Obfuscation is not education.

With leadership like this, it is no wonder our state education system lags behind much of the nation. What credibility will Mr. Ruszkowski have when encouraging our youth to pursue careers in science? Why would any science faculty member take him seriously? As the Dalai Lama has said on many occasions, when your dogma and science collide, it is probably your dogma that is wrong.

“AFFORDABLE REALITY”

DON’T FORGET US Here’s a demographic I hear little to nothing about: single women, age 60 and over. We may be widowed, divorced or luckily single.

We are retired professionals, but not rich transplants. We are educated and now have more or less fixed incomes and very little possibilities in this housing market (here in Santa Fe). We are not greedy. We want energy-efficient. We want 650-800 square feet domiciles. We want clusters/pods for social support, a renaissance of the “community feel.” We want the term “affordable housing” to die as the “code word” for the shame of needing a healthy support system as part of one’s rights as a citizen.

It is not to be defined as a population that needs Medicaid or belongs to one particular ethnic group or are seen as “lesser than;” some kind of victims of poverty.

(This is not a derision of humans receiving Medicaid, but it is backed by a strong opinion that “poverty is not a natural state for humans” and we need to get over it and do something about it, and housing is a great place to start). We are a population of real people, real women who need a city to take the upper hand for reasonable rents that meet the needs of all strata of real people in Santa Fe.

out the world. In [7 Days], you depicted the Pope as a dog next to a pee-puddle as well as claiming the church is trying to put a band-aid on “forced conversions” of Natives in the Americas. If it was any other religion or culture, would you be as insulting? I guess it’s no surprise that your article on the protest was also slanted.

Where might we find the local expertise needed to solve the multi-leveled challenge of Santa Fe’s economic and social development issues? Sometimes, often for me, it’s like sitting here watching the wheels go round and round in Santa Fe politics and community activism. Have yet to spy a real expert in the crowd, including in the so-far announced crop of mayoral candidates.

All important points regarding desperate need for rental properties at all levels in Santa Fe. Strange though that no mention of Railyard Flats project currently going up across from park in the Railyard that will provide 58 brand-new market-rate units (rental only—no condos). ... May be a drop in the bucket, but a significant one. Hope to see both the Siler Road and LINC projects coming on line soon too!

SANDY BRICE MARKETING DIRECTOR, SANTA FE RAILYARD COMMUNITY CORPORATION

SHORT-TERM, -SIGHTED Many tourist destinations have had to limit short-term rentals due to their destruction of the local population. Our mayor instead allowed the removal of restrictions that has now started the downward spiral into what has happened everywhere that has allowed this to happen.

Short-term rentals are short-term thinking except for those who over-invested and now expect renters to cover their “balloon note” fiasco.

With Looming Threat of Tariffs on Panels, NOW is the time to Get Solar

Seize the moment for unprecedented low installation costs

The price of solar has fallen dramatically. Installation costs are now half what they were in 2008 and 100 times less than what they were back in 1978.

But new action from the White House could undo much of this progress. President Trump is now threatening to place tariffs on imports of solar panels—an action that could double the cost of solar panels and destroy up to 88,000 jobs in the solar industry.

If you’ve considered going solar in order to cut your energy bills, get more predictable utility rates, and help reduce pollution, this is the time to act.

Earlier this year, an Atlanta-based solar manufacturer petitioned the US government to put trade restrictions on imported panels. It now appears likely that Trump, acting under authority from a 1974 trade law, may apply the punishing tariffs on solar imports.

It’s unclear whether the actions would boost the manufacturers’ business.

But one thing is clear: The tariffs could double the price of solar panels.

2017 was already an exceptional time to go solar. The federal government’s 30% tax credit is set to start scaling down soon. New Mexico’s current “Net Metering” law makes solar a smart investment. Solar technologies are more efficient and reliable than ever, and rates of customer satisfaction are at record levels. With climate change and air quality threats demanding attention, installing solar is an effective way to contribute to a clean environment. Consumer Reports — one of the nation’s leading personal finance publications — recently declared that “there has probably never been a better time to switch to solar.”

But Trump’s protectionist threat against the solar industry may be the biggest reason to act now. Tariffs could eliminate much of the progress on solar prices. You can still take advantage of today’s record-low solar costs if you seize the moment to make your investment in solar today.

Take Me Home, County Codes Santa Fe County ties building permits to costly improvements to private roads

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 @mattgrubs MATT GRUBS

t certainly doesn’t seem sustainable.

Carlos Kinsey, a Santa Fe architect and contractor, doesn’t see how the county’s latest interpretation of its new Sustainable Land Development Code can possibly stand up to the storm of protests that’s coming.

Kinsey was hired by a Santa Fe County resident to turn her carport into a garage and build a breezeway to connect it to her Joy Lane home in Arroyo Hondo.

The county’s land use staff rejected the building permit because the road leading to her home isn’t up to snuff.

“I was pretty surprised by it, as was the owner,” Kinsey tells SFR on a rainy fall morning. He had hoped to be working on the project by now. “It’s the first time in my 19 years that I’ve had a project rejected because of a problem that was off the homeowner’s property.”

The problem, as it’s been for property owners in unincorporated parts of the county since early this year, is that building permits for existing property are now tied to road improvements if access is on a private road. As the county gets more demands for emergency services like ambulances and fire trucks, it’s rewritten the code with more stringent requirements for road construction.

In the case of Kinsey’s client, adding base course and 8 feet of width to the 1,000 feet of gravel road—which is in good shape right now—would add another 50 percent to a $100,000 project.

“Then what do you do if you can’t afford to improve the road for the county?” Kinsey says. His client asked neighbors to help, but none of them had plans to pull a building permit anytime soon and didn’t want to share the cost of widening the road. Unwilling to run the gamut of the county’s variance process without the guarantee of an approval, she put her home on the market. The broker will have to disclose the issue to anyone who wants to buy the home.

Penny Ellis-Green, director the of the county’s Growth Management Department, tells SFR the county knows it will likely need to fix problems with the new code. In the past six months, she says, the county has seen a “fairly dramatic” increase in requests for a variance from the code—a formal permission to bypass part of the rules.

The county points out that, at $300 per issue, variances aren’t prohibitively expensive. But they can be timeconsuming. Kinsey says a request can lead to a six-month process with lots of

hearings, notifications and meetings.

The county insists building permits can be reviewed at the same time so that once a variance is approved, construction can begin. But the reality of booking contractors, says Kinsey, means “foundation guys, framers, plumbers, carpenters, surveyors … all the building trades” have to find different work while they are waiting for a decision from the county’s Planning Commission.

The county has received an earful from many in the development community who have run up against the new interpretation of the code. Ellis-Green says she’s met with developers, real estate professionals and others about how best to handle the mess. It’s not something she feels could have been predicted when the county rewrote the code last year.

“You have to see if this is just a couple of people who have the issue because it’s new or is it something larger that needs attention,” she tells SFR. County Manager Katherine Miller says Ellis-Green, the county fire marshal and other staff are working on an amendment to the code, “so that property owners are not overburdened.” But staff acknowledged to SFR that a fix is months away, at a minimum, and will require a public hearing and a 30-day review period as well as a vote from the county commission.

In the meantime, it’s an uncertain future for landowners who live on a private road and want to improve their property.

Lori Woodcock lives near Cerrillos.

When her neighbor ran into the same requirement for private road improvements before a building permit would be issued, Woodcock and a handful of neighbors each ponied up $6,000 to help defray the cost. She’s happy to have a better road, but she’s also a real estate broker who knows there are properties at the end of long, noncompliant private roads that face prohibitive costs if the county forces them to fix the road when they build.

“All of those properties now are pretty much worthless unless someone decides to function illegally and not get a permit,” Woodcock says. In the most extreme cases, such as with a 40-acre parcel she has on the market, the county has asked the property owner to improve a 3-mile stretch of private road. And once the homeowner knows about the issue, potential buyers have to be alerted to it.

“I can’t even imagine what that would cost,” she says.

The Grocer Network Local Latino supermarkets sell affordable products and a link back home for many Santa Feans

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

H

anging from the ceilings of Santa Fe’s Latino supermarkets are effigies of Winnie the Pooh, Donald Trump, bespectacled Minions and other colorful characters. Shoppers can also purchase candies and other snacks from Mexico, including spicy mango-flavored lollipops and small, pastey sweets called mazapan, made from a blend of peanuts and sugar or honey, to stuff into the piñatas.

The half-dozen markets concentrated below Siler Road have all the ingredients for an ideal kid’s birthday party, which speaks to their role as much more than food vendors. They are community anchors for the Southside, cropping up within the last 25 years as the city’s foreign-born Mexican and Latino populations have grown. They offer comfort foods and cultural products, as well as critical services for people in the fastest-growing part of the city.

Cesar Araiza, who came to Santa Fe 30 years ago from a small village in Mexico’s Chihuahua state, bought the Familia Mexicana market at 4350 Airport Road two and a half years ago, expanding his family’s business sphere beyond the Panaderia y Tortilleria Sani across the street, which he’s owned for a decade. Previously he worked in restaurant kitchens around town, including at La Fonda Hotel and the Lodge at Santa Fe. Inside the market, a butcher cuts beef into thin fillets in the style of carne asada.

Hair products like Moco de Gorila, a type of hair gel popular with young boys, sit comfortably on a shelf next to jars of nopales and above bags of Cheetos that come in myriad spicy flavors.

Araiza’s wife and two grown children help him run the operation, he says, adding to the familial sense he tries to cultivate in his store.

“We know most of the people who shop with us. We let them feel like they’re

in Mexico, where everyone says, ‘How are you,’ and talks to each other,” Araiza tells SFR. “If you go to Walmart, they say hi to you, but they never ask you how have you been, if you’ve been back to Mexico, or talk about family. It’s a personal experience.”

Araiza says people in Santa Fe from countries besides Mexico, including Iraq and Kenya, have visited his shop because of the international services on offer. Customers use a special phone at the market to connect with a business through which they can send money back home to friends or family. Most of the Latino markets in town feature these kinds of services.

Familia Mexicana contracts with three different service providers, including Vigo, Sigue, and Western Union’s Orlandi Valuta, all of which work with financial institutions, pharmacies, retailers and other institutions in dozens of countries to facilitate the transfer of funds at a price.

Many of these businesses have a broader array of products that include bill-paying services primarily for lowincome people. At Mini Super Delicias at 4641 Airport Road, which also has a butchery inside, owner Raúl Franco says

SFREPORTER.COM

people can come in and pay all of their home bills at once using a service sold

by Unidos Financial. The market, which Franco opened in 2007, charges people $1.50 to pay each bill and splits that fee in half with Unidos.

“This is just a convenience. I’m sure they would spend more money if they had to go around, driving around and paying different companies,” Franco contends.

He says most of his customers who come to him for the service are regulars and already in his computer system, making the transaction process quick.

Like Araiza, Franco opened his business after he got tired of working in the service industry, and his wife and extended relatives also help him run the shop.

Kinship is critical to the maintenance of these small markets, and even workers who aren’t related to their owners can become like family.

visited the store with her son to buy medicine, and noticed they were hiring. She told one of the store’s owners, Lucia Andre, that Moises was looking for a job.

“I was only 17 years old and I was fresh out of high school,” Tarango now says.

“Lucia says to me, ‘I need you to come tomorrow to work.’ I started right there and then, and the rest is history.”

El Paisano, which opened in 1995, is the largest Latino grocery store in town, and its familiarity has sometimes been a liability: Its two locations, one of which is currently not open, have been hit by burglars multiple times in the past few years, including once by a former employee. The store offers similar fare as other markets, but also includes a small tortilla factory where workers roll out fresh flour tortillas daily. There’s also a kitchen that sells burritos, tortas and other Mexican foods at affordable prices. On most mornings, people sit at a small communal table eating bowls of steaming-hot menudo.

In 2011, the City of Santa Fe set up a merchant’s association for businesses on the Southside, which included the majority of the Latino markets. The effort was meant to give the businesses a more unified voice, says city Economic Development Director Matt Brown, but it “fizzled out” within a few months.

In the absence of a city-approved collective, Tarango says the various businesses serving similiar clientele have found ways to support each other outside official channels, offering favors when one of them is in need.

“We all know each other, all the Latino businesses around here, and we have great relationships with everyone else, and that’s how we help each other out and we grow,” he says.

Contract Scoping

COURTESY LANL.GOV

As new bidders seek to score LANL management contract, locals push for community concerns

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

L

os Alamos National Laboratory is the outsized economic driver for its area—a leading employer, the kind of community influencer that makes or breaks the municipalities around it.

“It has a reverberating impact,” says Andrea Romero, executive director of the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities. “When the lab hiccups … the rest of the region really gets the flu.”

Which is why the coalition has been fighting to stay at the table as the National Nuclear Security Administration hosts site tours to show interested parties what they’re getting into if they bid on the management and operations contract for the lab.

Since 2006, Los Alamos National Security LLC—made up of the University of California, Bechtel, BWXT Government Group, Inc. and URS—has run Los Alamos National Laboratory. The contract, worth about $2.2 billion per year, could have been extended to 2026, had LANS “earned” an additional 13 years on top of its initial seven-year contract.

After failing to score high enough on performance reviews, it didn’t. Instead, the National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees the lab along with the Department of Energy, put the management and operations contract up for bid. A draft version of the request for proposal was released in July.

A contingent of members from the coalition, including Santa Fe Mayor Javier Gonzales, Española Mayor Alice Lucero,

Los Alamos County Councilor Rick Reiss and Los Alamos County Manager Harry Burgess went to Washington, DC, Sept. 11 to 14 to meet with elected officials and Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration staff to discuss the draft request for proposal (RFP) and their concerns with it. Among those, the posted draft doesn’t include a component for community giving. That program has seen as much as $3 million a year poured into the seven counties surrounding and the Northern Pueblos in the form of scholarships, small business incubators and academic programs at area colleges.

Lindsey Geisler, press secretary for the National Nuclear Security Administration, says in an emailed statement that it’s true the draft RFP did not contain a community commitment plan, but notes: “For Management and Operating contracts, NNSA typically releases the draft proposals instructions, draft evaluation criteria and the draft Statement of Work. The final RFP will include the requirement for a community commitment plan.”

A clause giving local businesses a competitive advantage in contracting work with the lab also isn’t in the draft, Romero says, and other measures seem to move nonprofit bidders into a more competitive position, which could eliminate gross receipts tax payments. According to the financial impact report for a bill that would have required a nonprofit to pay that tax if it took over as prime contractor on the lab, Los Alamos National Security paid about $77 million in 2015.

reports frustrated efforts there.

“The NNSA had no process for us to try to invite or engage with potential bidders,” Romero says. “We’ve been pretty much an afterthought in their thinking as far as acquisitions go, and yet our communities inherit the bidders.”

The coalition put together a community gathering to coincide with interested parties’ site visit, but their ability to advertise and explain their purpose was limited to a single flyer. Only two potential bidders showed up: Army veteran Eric Sundin with Virginia-based Internal Computer Services, and Deputy Chancellor David Daniel from University of Texas System, which has allocated $4.5 million to prepare a bid.

The names on an interested parties list compiled by the NNSA sprawl over a range of company sizes and specialties. At its larger end are companies like Huntington Ingalls Industries, which has previously secured contracts with the Department of Energy and NNSA to design, manufacture, and test naval “nuclear assets” and work as a management and operations partner at the Savannah River Site, which reprocesses nuclear materials.

The University of California and Bechtel, the incumbent contract holders, are also still listed. UC has been involved in lab management since LANL opened in the 1940s. The University of New Mexico, which has indicated interest in bidding, is not on the list.

The list, which only includes bidders who agreed to be on the public radar, is also peppered with smaller companies with specialties in corporate management or information technology.

“We’re not looking to be the prime contractor,” says Rick Dearholt, vice president of business development for Information International Associates, Inc. “We’re looking to be on a team, and I think you’ll find that, from the majority of people on that list, it’s the same way.”

The list allows those smaller companies to start networking and talking about forming a team to put together a bid.

Their site tour, Sundin says, took about three hours and attendees filled three buses, each with a speaker reading from the same script so bidders would receive the same information.

A final version of the RFP was expected by the end of September, but as of Sept. 29, the NNSA had yet to release it.

THE MISSING STORIES—AND EXPOSING PATTERNS OF WHAT’S MISSED

I

B Y PA U L R O S E N B E R G

n America, we commonly think of press freedom and censorship in terms of the First Amendment, which focuses attention on the press itself and limits on the power of government to restrict it. But the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, drafted in the aftermath of World War II, presents a broader framework. Article 19 reads: “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.”

By highlighting the right to receive information and ideas, Article 19 makes it clear that press freedom is about everyone in society, not just the press, and that government censorship is only one potential way of thwarting that right. That’s the perspective that has informed Project Censored from the beginning, more than 40 years ago.

Even though Project Censored’s annual list focuses on specific censored stories, the underlying issue has never been isolated examples. They serve to highlight how far short we fall from the fully-informed public that a healthy democracy requires—and that we all require in order to live healthy, safe, productive, satisfying lives. It’s the larger patterns of missing information, hidden problems and threats that should really concern us.

Each Project Censored story provides some of that information, but the annual list helps shed light on these broader patterns of what’s missing, as well as on the specifics of the stories themselves.

During the 1972 election, journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were reporting on the earliest developments in the Watergate Scandal, but their work was largely isolated, despite running in the Washington Post. They were covering it as a developing criminal case; it never crossed over into a political story until after the election. That’s

a striking example of a missing pattern. It helped contribute to the 1976 founding of Project Censored by Carl Jensen, who defined censorship as “the suppression of information, whether purposeful or not, by any method—including bias, omission, underreporting or self-censorship—that prevents the public from fully knowing what is happening in its society.”

In the current edition’s introduction to the list of stories, Associate Director Andy Lee Roth writes, “Finding common themes across news stories helps to contextualize each item as a part of the larger narratives shaping our times. … There are more connections to be identified. As we have noted in previous Censored volumes, the task of identifying common topical themes, within each year’s story list and across multiple years transforms the reader from a passive recipient of information into an active, engaged interpreter. We invite you to engage with this year’s story list in this way.”

Widespread Lead Contamination Threatens Children’s Health and Could Triple Household Water Bills After President Barack Obama declared a federal emergency in Flint, Michigan, based on lead contamination of the city’s water supply in January 2016, Reuters reporters MB Pell and Joshua Schneyer began an investigation of lead contamination nationwide with shocking results. In June 2016, they reported that although many states and Medicaid rules require blood lead tests for young children, millions of children were not being tested. In December 2016, they reported on the highly decentralized data they had been able to assemble from 21 states, showing that 2,606 census tracts and 278 zip codes across the United States had levels of lead poisoning more than double the rates found in Flint at the peak of its contamination crisis. Of those, 1,100 communities had lead contamination rates “at least four times higher” than Flint.

In Flint, 5 percent of the children screened high blood lead levels. Nationwide, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that 2.5 percent of all US children younger than 6—about 500,000 children—have elevated blood lead levels.

But Pell and Schneyer’s neighborhood focus allowed them to identify local hotspots “whose lead poisoning problems may be obscured in broader surveys,” such as those focused on statewide or countywide rates. They found them in communities like Warren, Pennsylvania, where 36 percent of children tested had high lead levels, and Goat Island, Texas, where a quarter of tests showed poisoning. What’s more, they wrote, “in some pockets of Baltimore, Cleveland and Philadelphia, where lead poisoning has spanned generations, the rate of elevated tests over the last decade was 40 to 50 percent.”

Over $6 Trillion in Unaccountable Army Spending In 1996, Congress passed legislation requiring all government agencies to undergo annual audits, but a July 2016 report by the Defense Department’s inspector general found that the Army alone has accumulated $6.5 trillion in expenditures that can’t be accounted for over the past two decades.

As Dave Lindorff reported for This Can’t Be Happening!, the DoD “has not been tracking or recording or auditing all of the taxpayer money allocated by Congress—what it was spent on, how well it was spent, or where the money actually

In January 2017, Schneyer and Pell reported that, based on their previous investigation, “From California to Pennsylvania, local leaders, health officials and researchers are advancing measures to protect children from the toxic threat.

They include more blood-lead screening, property inspections, hazard abatement and community outreach programs.”

But there’s a deeper infrastructure problem involved, as Farron Cousins reported for DeSmogBlog in January 2017.

“Lead pipes are time bombs” and water contamination is to be expected, Cousins wrote. The US relies on an estimated 1.2 million miles of lead pipes for municipal delivery of drinking water, and much of this aging infrastructure is reaching or has exceeded its lifespan.

In 2012 the American Water Works Association estimated that a complete overhaul of the nation’s aging water systems would require an investment of $1 trillion over the next 25 years, which could triple household water bills. As Cousins reported, a January 2017 Michigan State University study found that water rates are already unaffordable for an about 11.9 percent of households, and in the next five years the figure could be more like 35.6 percent.

ended up.” But the Army wasn’t alone.

“Things aren’t any better at the Navy, Air Force and Marines,” he added.

The report appeared at a time when “politicians of both major political parties are demanding accountability for every penny spent on welfare. … Ditto for people receiving unemployment compensation,” Lindorff wrote. Politicians have also engaged in pervasive efforts “to make teachers accountable for student ‘performance,’” he added. Yet, he observed, “the military doesn’t have to account for any of its trillions of dollars of spending … even though Congress fully a generation ago passed a law requiring such accountability.”

In March 2017, after Trump proposed a $52 billion increase in military spending, Thomas Hedges reported for The Guardian that “the Pentagon has exempted itself without consequence for 20 years now, telling the Government Accountability Office that collecting and organizing the required information for a full audit is too costly and time-consuming.”

The most recent DoD audit deadline was September 2017, yet neither the Pentagon, Congress, nor the media seem to have paid any attention.

ing-Smith reported for the Bureau of Investigative Journalism on one such very expensive—and questionable—operation. The Pentagon paid a British PR firm, Bell Pottinger, more than $660 million to run a top-secret propaganda program in Iraq from at least 2006 to December 2011. The work consisted of three types of products: TV commercials portraying al-Qaeda in a negative light, news items intended to look like Arabic TV, and—most disturbing—fake al-Qaeda propaganda films.

A former Bell Pottinger video editor, Martin Wells, told the bureau that he was given precise instructions for production of fake al-Qaeda films, and that the firm’s output was approved by former Gen. David Petraeus—the commander of the coalition forces in Iraq—and on occasion by the White House. They reported that the United States used contractors because “the military didn’t have the inhouse expertise and was operating in a legal ‘grey area.’”

The reporters “traced the firm’s Iraq work through US army contracting censuses, federal procurement transaction records and reports by the Defense Department’s inspector general, as well as Bell Pottinger’s corporate filings and specialist publications on military propaganda.” Black and Fielding-Smith also interviewed former officials and contractors involved in information operations in Iraq.

Documents show that Bell Pottinger employed as many as 300 British and Iraqi staff at one point, and that its media operations in Iraq cost more than $100 million per year on average. It’s remarkable that an operation on this scale has been totally ignored in midst of so much focus on “fake news” here in the United States.

Voter Suppression in the 2016 Presidential Election The 2016 election was the first election in 50 years without the full protection of the Voting Rights Act, first passed in 1965. In Shelby County v. Holder (2013), a 5-4 conservative majority in the Supreme Court struck down a key provision requiring jurisdictions with a history of violations to “pre-clear” changes.

As a result, changes to voting laws in nine states and parts of six others with long histories of racial discrimination in voting were no longer subject to federal government approval in advance.

Since Shelby, 14 states, including many Southern states and key swing states, implemented new voting restrictions, in many cases just in time for the election. These included restrictive voter-identification laws in Texas and North Carolina, English-only elections in many Florida counties, as well as last-minute changes of poll locations and changes in Arizona voting laws that had previously been rejected by the Department of Jus-

tice before the Shelby decision.

Ari Berman, author of Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America, was foremost among a small number of non-mainstream journalists to cover the suppression efforts and their results. In May 2017, he reported on an analysis of the effects of voter suppression by Priorities USA, which showed that strict voter-ID laws in Wisconsin and other states resulted in a “significant reduction” in voter turnout in 2016 with “a disproportionate impact on African-American and Democratic-leaning voters.” Berman noted that turnout was reduced by 200,000 votes in Wisconsin, while Donald Trump won the state by just over 22,000 votes.

Nationwide, the study found that the change in voter turnout from 2012 to 2016 was significantly impacted by new voter-ID laws. In counties that were more than 40 percent African-American, turnout dropped 5 percent with new voter-ID laws, compared to 2.2 percent without. In counties that were less than 10 percent African-American, turnout decreased 0.7 percent with new voter-ID laws, compared to a 1.9 percent increase without. As Berman concluded, “This study provides more evidence for the claim that voter-ID laws are designed not to stop voter impersonation fraud, which is virtually nonexistent, but to make it harder for certain communities to vote.”

As Berman noted in an article published by Moyers & Co. in December 2016, the topic of “gutting” the Voting Rights Act did not arise once during the 26 presidential debates prior to the election, and “[c]able news devoted hours and hours to Trump’s absurd claim that the election was rigged against him while spending precious little time on the real threat that voters faced.”

Big Data and Dark Money behind the 2016 Election When Richard Nixon first ran for Congress in 1946, he and his supporters used a wide range of dirty tricks aimed at smearing his opponent as pro-Communist, including a boiler-room operation generating phone calls to registered Democrats, which simply said, “This is a friend of yours, but I can’t tell you who I am. Did you know that Jerry Voorhis is a Communist?” Then the caller would hang up.

In 2016, the same basic strategy was employed but with decades of refinement, technological advances, and massively more money behind it. A key player in this was right-wing computer scientist and hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer, who contributed $13.5 million to Trump’s campaign and also funded Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics company that specializes in “election management strategies” and using “psychographic” microtargeting—based on thousands of pieces of data for some 220 million American voters—as Carole

Antibiotic Resistant “Superbugs” Threaten Health and Foundations of Modern Medicine

port,” Projected Censored explained.

One strain of drug-resistant bacterium that originated in India in 2014 has since spread to 70 other countries.

Superbugs have already killed an estimated 25,000 people across Europe— thus globally posing “as big a threat as terrorism,” according to a UK National Health Service Chief Medical Officer Dame Sally Davies.

“At the heart of the issue is how to motivate pharmaceutical companies to improve their production practices.

With strong demand for antibiotics, the companies continue to profit despite the negative consequences of their actions,” Project Censored noted. “The EPHA assessment recommended five responses that major purchasers of medicines could implement to help stop antibiotic pollution. Among these recommendations are blacklisting pharmaceutical companies

that contribute to the spread of superbugs through irresponsible practices, and promoting legislation to incorporate environmental criteria into the industry’s good manufacturing practices.”

Superbugs are especially threatening modern medicine, in which a wide range of sophisticated practices—organ transplants, joint replacements, cancer chemotherapy and care of pre-term infants—“will become more difficult or even too dangerous to undertake,” according to Margaret Chan, head of the World Health Organization.

“Although the threat of antibiotic-resistant microbes is well-documented in scientific publications, there is little to no coverage on superbugs in the corporate press,” Project Censored noted. “What corporate news coverage there is tends to exaggerate the risks and consequences of natural outbreaks—as seen during the EbCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The problem of antibiotics giving rise to more dangerous drug-resistant germs (“superbugs”) has been present since the early days of penicillin, but has now reached a crisis, with companies creating dangerous superbugs when their factories leak industrial waste, as reported by Madlen Davies of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism in September 2016.

Factories in China and India—where the majority of worldwide antibiotics are manufactured—have released “untreated waste fluid” into local soils and waters, leading to increases in antimicrobial resistance that diminish the effectiveness of antibiotics and threaten the foundations of modern medicine.

“After bacteria in the environment become resistant, they can exchange genetic material with other germs, spreading antibiotic resistance around the world, according to an assessment issued by the European Public Health Alliance, which served as the basis for Davies’s news re-

Cadwalladr reported for The Guardian in February 2017. After Trump’s victory, Cambridge Analytica’s CEO Alexander Nix said, “We are thrilled that our revolutionary approach to data-driven communication has played such an integral part in President-elect Trump’s extraordinary win.”

Cambridge Analytica’s parent company, Strategic Communication Laboratories, was more old-school until recently in elections across Europe, Africa and the Caribbean. In Trinidad, it paid for the painting of graffiti slogans purporting to be from grassroots youth. In Nigeria, it advised its client party to suppress the vote of their opposition “by organizing anti-poll rallies on the day of the election.”

But now they’re able to microtarget their deceptive, disruptive messaging.

“Pretty much every message that Trump put out was data-driven” after they joined the campaign, Nix said in September 2016. On the day of the third presidential debate, Trump’s team “tested 175,000 different ad variations for his arguments” via Facebook.

This messaging had everything to do with how those targeted would respond, not with Trump’s or Mercer’s views. In a New Yorker profile, Jane Mayer noted that Mercer argued that the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a major mistake, a subject not remotely hinted at during the campaign.

“Suddenly, a random billionaire can change politics and public policy—to sweep everything else off the table—even if they don’t speak publicly, and even if there’s almost no public awareness of his or her views,” Trevor Potter, former chair of the Federal Election Commission, told Mayer.

With the real patterns of influence, ideology, money, power and belief hidden from view, the very concept of democratic self-governance is now fundamentally at risk.

The US Navy has killed, injured or harassed marine mammals in the North Pacific almost 12 million times over a five-year period, according to research conducted by the West Coast Action Alliance and reported by Dahr Jamail for Truthout. This includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, sea lions and other marine wildlife such as endangered species like humpback whales, blue whales, gray whales, sperm whales, Steller sea lions and sea otters. The number was tabulated from the Navy’s Northwest Training and Testing environmental impact statement and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Letter of Authorization for the number of “takes” of marine mammals caused by Navy exercises.

“A ‘take’ is a form of harm to an animal that ranges from harassment, to injury, and sometimes to death,” Jamail wrote. “Many wildlife conservationists see even ‘takes’ that only cause behavior changes as injurious, because chronic harassment of animals that are feeding or breeding can end up harming, or even contributing to their deaths if they are driven out of habitats critical to their survival.”

As the alliance noted, this does not include impacts on endangered and threatened seabirds, fish, sea turtles or

terrestrial species due to Navy activities, which have expanded dramatically, according to the Navy’s October 2015 environmental impact statement, including: ► A 778 percent increase in number of torpedoes ► A 400 percent increase in air-tosurface missile exercises (including Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary) ► A 1,150 percent increase in drone aircraft ► An increase from none to 284 sonar testing events in inland waters “It is, and has been for quite some time now, well-known in the scientific community that the Navy’s use of sonar can damage and kill marine life,” Jamail reported.

“With little oversight on Navy training activities, the public is left in the dark regarding their environmental impacts, including especially how Navy operations impact fish in the North Pacific and marine life at the bottom of the food chain,” Project Censored noted. “There has been almost no coverage of these impacts in the corporate press.”

Maternal Mortality a Growing Threat in the US The US maternal mortality rate is rising, while it’s falling elsewhere across the developed world. Serious injuries and complications are needlessly even more widespread with shockingly little attention being paid.

“Each year over 600 women in the US die from pregnancy-related causes and over 65,000 experience life-threatening complications or severe maternal morbidity,” Elizabeth Dawes Gay reported, covering an April 2016 congressional briefing organized by Women’s Policy Inc. “The average national rate of mater-

PR OJE CT Cen so red nal mortality has increased from 12 per 100,000 live births in 1998 to 15.9 in 2012, after peaking at 17.8 in 2011.”

“The US is the only nation in the developed world with a rising maternal mortality rate,” Rep. Lois Capps stated at the meeting.

“Inadequate health care in rural areas and racial disparities are drivers of this maternal health crisis,” Project Censored summarized. “Nationally, African American women are three to four times more likely than white women to die from pregnancy-related causes, with rates even higher in parts of the US that Gay characterized as ‘pockets of neglect,’ such as Georgia, where the 2011 maternal mortality rate of 28.7 per 100,000 live births was nearly double the national average.”

The Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health has developed safety bundles of “best practices, guidelines and protocols to improve maternal health care quality and safety,” Gay wrote. “These ‘bundles’ include equipping hospital labor units with a fully stocked cart for immediate hemorrhage treatment, establishing a hospital-level emergency management protocol, conducting regular staff drills and reviewing all cases to learn from past mistakes, among other things.”

More broadly, Kiera Butler reported for Mother Jones that doctors rarely warn patients of the potential for serious injuries and complications that can occur following birth.

“Women have a right to make informed decisions about their bodies and serious medical situations; however, when it comes to birth and its aftereffects, Butler found that doctors simply are not providing vital information,” Project Censored summarized. Many state laws require doctors to inform women of the potential complications and dangers associated with delivery, but none require them to discuss potential long-term problems, including the fact that some complications are more prevalent in women who give birth vaginally, rather than by C-section.

“All told, according to a 2008 study by researchers at the California HMO Kaiser Permanente, about one in three women suffer from a pelvic floor disorder (a category that includes urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, and prolapse), and roughly 80 percent of those women are mothers,” Butler reported. “Women who deliver vaginally are twice as likely to experience these injuries as women who have a cesarean or who have not given birth. For one in 10 women, the problem is severe enough to warrant surgery.”

“The corporate news media have paid limited attention to maternal mortality and morbidity in the US,” Project Cen-

sored notes. There have been scattered stories, but nothing remotely close to the sort of sustained coverage that is warranted.

Editor’s note: SFR reported on New Mexico’s maternal mortality problem earlier this year (Cover, May 31: “Mortally Maternal.”)

DNC Claims Right to Select Presidential Candidate A key story about 2016 election has mostly been ignored by the media: a class-action lawsuit alleging that the Democratic National Committee broke legally binding neutrality agreements in the Democratic primaries by strategizing to make Hillary Clinton the nominee before a single vote was cast. The lawsuit was filed against the DNC and its former chair, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, in June 2016 by Beck & Lee, a Miami law firm, on behalf of supporters of Bernie Sanders. A hearing was held on suit in April 2017, in which DNC lawyers argued that neutrality was not actually required and that the court had no jurisdiction to assess neutral treatment.

As Michael Sainato reported for Observer Media that DNC attorneys claimed that Article V, Section 4 of the DNC Charter—which instructs the DNC chair and staff to ensure neutrality in the Democratic presidential primaries—is actually “a discretionary rule” that the DNC “didn’t need to adopt to begin with.” In addition, DNC attorney Bruce Spiva later said it was within the DNC’s rights to “go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way.” Sainato also reported that DNC attorneys argued that specific terms used in the DNC charter—including “impartial” and “evenhanded”—couldn’t be interpreted in a court of law, because it would “drag the Court … into a political question

and a question of how the party runs its own affairs.”

Jared Beck, representing the Sanders supporters, responded, “Your Honor, I’m shocked to hear that we can’t define what it means to be evenhanded and impartial. If that were the case, we couldn’t have courts. I mean, that’s what courts do every day, is decide disputes in an evenhanded and impartial manner.” Not only was running elections in a fair and impartial manner a “bedrock assumption” of democracy, Beck argued earlier, it was also a binding commitment for the DNC: “That’s what the Democratic National Committee’s own charter says,” he said.

“It says it in black and white.”

Much of the reporting and commentary on the broader subject of the DNC’s collusion with the Clinton campaign has been speculative and misdirected, focused on questions about voter fraud and countered by claims of indulging in “conspiracy theory.” But this trial focuses on documentary evidence and questions of law—all publicly visible yet still treated as suspect, when not simply ignored out of hand.

As Project Censored notes, “[E]ven Michael Sainato’s reporting—which has consistently used official documents, including the leaked DNC emails and courtroom transcripts, as primary sources—has been repeatedly labeled “opinion”—rather than straight news reporting—by his publisher, the Observer.”

2016: A Record Year for Global Internet Shutdowns In 2016, governments around the world shut down internet access more than 50 times, according to the digital rights organization Access Now, “suppressing elections, slowing economies and limiting free speech,” as Lyndal Rowlands reported for the Inter Press Service.

“In the worst cases internet shutdowns have been associated with human rights violations,” Rowlands was told by Deji Olukotun of Access Now. “What we have found is that Internet shutdowns go hand-in-hand with atrocities.” Olukotun said.

Kevin Collier also covered the report for Vocativ, noting that Access Now uses a “conservative metric,” counting “repeated, similar outages”—like those which occurred during Gabon’s widely criticized internet “curfew”—as a single instance.

The Vocativ report included a dynamic map chart, designed by Kaitlyn Kelly, that vividly depicts internet shutdowns around the world, month by month for all of 2016, as documented by Access Now. “Many countries intentionally blacked out internet access during elections and to quell protest. Not only do these shutdowns restrict freedom of speech, they also hurt economies around the world,” Project Censored notes. “TechCrunch, IPS, and other independent news organizations reported that a Brookings Institution study found that internet shutdowns cost countries $2.4 billion between July 2015 and June 2016”—a conservative estimate according to the study’s author, Darrell West.

As Olukotun told IPS, one way to stop government shutdowns is for internet providers to resist government demands.

“Telecommunications companies can push back on government orders, or at least document them to show what’s been happening, to at least have a paper trail,” Olukotun observed.

On July 1, 2016, the UN Human Rights Council passed a nonbinding resolution signed by more than 70 countries lauding the internet’s “great potential to accelerate human progress,” and condemning “measures to intentionally prevent or disrupt access to or dissemination of information online.” It noted that, “the exercise of human rights, in particular the right to freedom of expression, on the Internet is an issue of increasing interest and importance.”

Yet, “understanding what this means for internet users can be difficult,” Azad Essa reported for Al Jazeera in May 2017.

Advocates of online rights, he was told by the UN’s special rapporteur on freedom of opinion and expression, David Kaye, “need to be constantly pushing for laws that protect this space and demand that governments meet their obligations in digital spaces just as in non-digital spaces.”

What’s in a Song?

App makers bring songbird-identifying technology to Santa Fe’s foothills

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

O

n a sunny September afternoon, the birds are just a little quiet. They flit overhead and sometimes chitter angrily at Sherwood Snyder, product manager at Wildlife Acoustics, as he hikes a loop out of the Randall Davey Audubon Center, binoculars at the ready. He’s trying to get a visual on them, but mostly we’re trying to get a microphone to them.

Wildlife Acoustics launched an app in February that records bird songs and identifies them. So we also hold phones at the ready with the app, Song Sleuth, poised to record.

Mostly, our results come back as rock pigeons and humans, which, yes, are in the app as well. Snyder whistles to demonstrate its ability to bust mimickers, and up pops an image of a binocular-sporting human and sample recordings of Snyder welcoming users to the app. It does not include listings for catbirds and mockingbirds, which can mirror the birds they copy so well as to fool the app itself. Nature wins again.

Birds sing to establish a territory and attract a mate, he says—the stuff of springtime. By this time of year, they’re all fairly well focused on making their way to Mexico. Still, we weren’t even out of the parking lot when he was identifying black-capped chickadees, and he’s soon able to capture a robin song. The

app comes back with three suggestions, robin the most likely of them, and two backups just in case.

“If I just record that robin and I didn’t know anything, the goal is that it passes the baton off—it’s one of these three— good luck,” Snyder says.

The app, which downloads for $9.99 on iPhone (it will be available on Android in spring 2018), includes illustrations from renowned birder David Allen Sibley, range maps, likelihood of spotting, descriptions and recordings from across the country to help with identifications. He plays through audio samples, and the robin recording has the ring of a match.

Snyder zooms in on a spectrogram of the recording, which shows a jag of red against green and yellow chartings of the background noise, and uses that to isolate the sound for another listen and to compare it to the spectrogram of the audio sample.

“It makes it visual—you’re basically memorizing patterns and calligraphy,” he says. “It gives your brain another chance.”

To train the app to recognize bird songs, Snyder reviewed more than a quarter of a million song samples from the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology.

He tossed out the mislabeled samples or those interrupted by other sounds. At some point, he began doing this by sight, using the spectrograms. Visually filtering them was faster.

“Then I started seeing spectrograms everywhere—in hardwood floors,” he says. It was part insanity and part transcendence. He could see, for example, that some bird songs come in patterns like Bach, with sections to songs that repeated in various orders.

Like humans, most birds learn dialects from their parents, making for regional variation in their songs. So the app is still growing and changing as people test it and send in their corrections.

They’ve added more than 20,000 new recordings that way.

September may not be bursting with bird songs, but one of New Mexico’s most iconic bird-watching seasons is

approaching in November, when the Bosque del Apache fills with thousands of sandhill cranes, Ross’ geese and snow geese wintering-over. Sandhill cranes aren’t in the app—if you’re looking at a big white crane with a red stripe down its face, Snyder says, you probably don’t need help recognizing it.

But it’s the other portion of Wildlife Acoustics’ work that has brought Snyder to town—there’s a conference on bats in Albuquerque. The company has also developed an app for identifying species of bats, Echo Meter Touch, based on their echolocation calls. The bat apps and equipment, which can be set up like trail cameras triggered by sound, often go to biologists surveying potential wind farm sites. Those blades can wipe out a lot of bats, and if endangered species are found living in the area, it can mean relocating.

So we take the phones back out in the evening, hiking toward a water source likely to attract bugs and therefore bats. The ultrasonic modules pick up noise we can’t hear, the shuffle of our clothing, the steady static of air moving. The apps crackle.

The wind picks up and the temperature drops, and the bats, wisely, stay tucked away somewhere warm while we shiver.

The breeze rattles the cattails, and it’s from amid some of them that a redwing blackbird sings strong and clearly enough that the Song Sleuth app can capture it. Press a button, and the phone sings back.

TURN IT UP LOUDON Yeah, yeah—we all know Loudon Wainwright III from his music career (and we think he has a kid or something), but it turns out he’s a pretty interesting dude outside of that. His memoir, Liner Notes, details much of this, from parenthood and acting (his turn as the dad on Judd Apatow’s short-lived and underrated series Undeclared makes knowing his name worth it alone) to lost love, time on the road, the many facets of his career and beyond. So while we totally recommend checking out his performance at the Lensic on Thursday, popping by Collected Works Bookstore to see him talk about his book should be on your radar as well. (ADV)

We don’t have a good answer.

Gardner’s Earth Terma is, she says, “a modern dance dedication and surrender to Earth itself … a durational installation [that] can be visited at any time in its two-hour cycle.” In other words, this thing is ongoing and doesn’t require a specific time commitment.

Enter Benchwarmers, an annual tradition that hits its 16th year this week and always casts scads of locals to perform bite-sized pieces from local playwrights. Each of the eight plays hits just about 10 minutes in length and runs the gamut from funny and sweet to intense and thought-provoking. Could this be a great intro for the uninitiated or an easy-todigest reminder for current fans? You bet, and with the added bonus that the Playhouse has just been straight killing it lately, you can be a part of something big. Score one for you.

EVENT MON/9

Not Monopoly Game the system, make new friends

Stephen Bohnannon and his magnificent beard have been running weekly game nights in Santa Fe since most of us were level one dorks with nary a broadsword or enchantment spell to our names. Aptly dubbed The Game Thing, these nerd-tastic gatherings have taken place at locations like the now-defunct Flying Star in the Santa Fe Railyard, on the Santa Fe University of Art & Design campus, in the back room of Big Adventure comics and, now, Second Street Brewery’s shiny new Rufina Taproom.

Attendance is usually, according to Bohannon, pretty damn good. “A break from screen time is nice,” he tells SFR. “It feels retro, even though new games are anything but, and there’s a social benefit from sitting across the table from someone face-to-face.” Such reallife interaction has taken place over heated sessions of board game versions of Battlestar Galactica or Firefly, and Bohannon adds new titles all the time.

“There’s a great Euro-game called Terraforming Mars that usually hits the table,” he says. “I just got a new Kickstarter-funded game called Farlight that I’m really into.” Settlers of Catan is a mainstay as well. “It’s the median,

entry-point, what I call ‘gateway game,’” Bohannon says. “It’s a good reference.

An old standby.”

Of course, if this all sounds like a lot to handle, newcomers and interested-but-nervous parties need not fear.

Certain games are deep experiences and can seem daunting, but it’s never as hard as one might think. “The games change every time, and I usually bring some entry-level games just in case I’m teaching to someone who isn’t versed in the complex strategy games I love the most,” Bohannon notes. “If I’ve heard anything that makes me know I’m on the right track, it’s that people thank me for being so welcoming—from what I gather, that isn’t the norm with other gaming meet-up groups in other cities.”

So, game fans and people looking for new friends, the time is nigh, the experience is sweet and the advice from Bohannon is a gold standard: “The Game Thing will always be free, but always tip your server.” (Alex De Vore) THE GAME THING: 6:15 pm Monday Oct. 9. Free.

“In dealing with the future, at least for the purpose at hand, it is more important to be imaginative and insightful than to be one hundred percent ‘right.’”

COURTESY SITE SANTA FE

SITE SANTA FE’S NEW BUILDING COMES WITH A CLEAR VISION FOR THE FUTURE

S

—Alvin Toffler, Future Shock introduction

ince it opened in 1995, SITE Santa Fe, an exhibition space for international contemporary art, has pushed the boundaries of what it means to be a museum. In 22 years, SITE has presented more than 100 exhibitions including 10 biennials, featuring over 700 works by international artists. As of this week, it continues to break ground in redefining the museum experience with the opening of its new building. “A museum itself is a found object that you can play with,” Joanne Lefrak, director of education and outreach, says. “You can preserve it or you can change it.”

SITE collaborated with SHoP, a New York City-based architecture firm comprised of over 180 architects, designers and engineers who question traditional patterns and conventional spaces, to renovate and expand its former warehouse space into a state-of-the-art building that breaks down the walls of the classic “white-box” museum to offer an open and accessible environment. “On the whole, our previous building’s facade was a barrier, because you couldn’t see what was going on inside,” Chief Curator Irene Hofmann explains. “So, one of the things that was paramount in working with SHoP was to make what we do visible to the community.”

After an 8-month closure, the prow that now extends from the building is an

invitation to come explore, which is easier to do thanks to the glass entrance facing Paseo de Peralta, and gives passersby a clear peek into the space. “I hope curiosity and wonder will draw people in,” Anne Wrinkle, director of external affairs, says, “especially people who have never been here before to open the dialogue that contemporary art is not as intimidating as one might think.”

The potential intimidation factor Wrinkle refers to dissipates immediately upon entering the lobby. Visitors can now sip on caffeine at the new coffee and snack bar, dubbed Crave, peruse an expanded gift shop, lounge on cushy chairs and observe art installations in SITELab, an experimental gallery, all before even buying a ticket to enter the main exhibition space (which, after this weekend’s grand re-opening, is free 10 am-7 pm on Fridays and 10 am-1 pm Saturdays).

When visitors do make it past the lobby, however, they discover an auditorium with sound quality so crisp it is easy to forget white noise exists. This is where SITE now offers public programs including the previously established series My Life in Art, lectures that focus on significant people who have spent their lives immersed in art, and Innovative Thinker, an annual lecture series that highlights the work of visionary contemporary arts educators.

SITE also unveils further free samplings of new programs during its opening weekend, many of which are interactive experiences. “Projects work better as a collaboration between the institution, artist and community,” Lefrak explains, “and our programming in this new facility moves into the realm of cocreation.”

Some of the fresh offerings include Sound and Spectacle, a series of performance art and experimental music; The AV Club: +Films at SITE, screenings of artist-produced and -directed films; and

Tea and Tour, a collaboration with The Teahouse on Canyon Road during which visitors join a 30-minute tour followed by a discussion with tea that has been specifically paired with the art. And these programs only scratch the surface of what is to come.

Across the hall from the auditorium is the Learning Lab, a resource center and student workspace; just outside is the Sky Mezzanine, a central two-story courtyard dotted with installation art, sculptures and trees. Lastly, there is the revamped gallery space where visitors can get a glimpse into what comes next through SITE’s first exhibition in the renovated building, Future Shock. “I hope this show signals the future of the institution and the possibilities here,” Hofmann tells SFR. “I hope it shifts the conversation to really view SITE as open and accessible.”

Future Shock features the work of 10 international artists to investigate the impact of change in our contemporary lives. According to Hofmann, Future Shock is inspired by Alvin Toffler’s book of the same name, in which advancement is seen as a menacing force. However, this exhibition aims to illuminate both the positive and negative aspects of evolution through a variety of media such as immersive video, large-scale painting, sculpture and installation by artists including Doug Aitken, Andreas Gursky, Patrick Bernatchez and Tom Sachs.

Ten artists is a significant reduction from SITE’s typical capacity, which has welcomed over 30 artists in a single biennial in the past. Hofmann divulges that the purpose of honing in is to make space for each artist to have a significant installation. This becomes clear in the galleries, where each work has room to breathe, communicate its message and

make connections with visitors—it’s an experience Lefrak describes with one word: magic. “I keep using that word,” she says. “When art is good, it stirs something in you that you just can’t get anywhere else.”

A few of the larger works such as Andreas Gursky’s photograph “Kuwait Stock Exchange I” and Alexis Rockman’s oil painting “Battle Royale” are examples of pieces that could not previously be installed in SITE’s galleries due to lack of environmental control. Now, a humidity, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system has been installed, blowing open the doors for the museum to borrow and exhibit works of similar media and scale.

The selections are not limited to the formal galleries, either. They spill out of unexpected places. Regina Silveira’s “Mundus Admirabilis” features large vinyl bugs that are stuck to the entrance windows, the lobby floor and a wall of the courtyard. Additionally, three billboards face the railroad tracks with images from Andrea Zittel’s How to Live series that ask passersby questions like, “To acquire possessions, or to live free of encumbrances?”

“I think a lot of these works have very accessible entry points,” Hofmann points out. “My hope is that with a building that feels more welcoming, people start to see SITE as a place to gather—as a place that’s for them.”

SITE’s new building is imaginative and insightful, moving beyond the attempt to be “right” and into the realm of experimentation where mistakes and successes are both equally valuable to determine the next steps as a society.

In this way, the overhauled space and upcoming exhibitions are not only visions for the future of the venerable 22-year-old institution, but a valuable model for the future of museums as a whole and how they might become spaces that shape and inspire our collective humanitarian progress.

FUTURE SHOCK: GRAND RE-OPENING EXHIBITION The Reveal: 6 pm Friday Oct. 6. $100-$300. Late-night party: 9 pm Friday Oct. 6. $20-$25.

You’re doing nothing wrong—and pretty soon you’ll be having sex in your home while your kid sleeps or plays on the other side of your bedroom door, KUAH, so you might as well get some practice in. And if you don’t want a kid walking in on you at home, either (and you definitely don’t), put a lock on your bedroom door.

I’m a 22-year-old straight male dating a 23-yearold woman. This is by far the most sexual relationship I’ve been in, which is great, except one part is freaking me out: I recently “caught” my girlfriend masturbating with her roommate’s panties. (She knew I was coming over and wanted me to catch her.) It turns out she has a habit of sneaking her roommate’s worn underwear, masturbating while smelling them (or putting them in her mouth), and then sneaking them back into her roommate’s laundry basket. She has also used her roommate’s vibrator and dry-humped her pillow to orgasm.

I got turned on hearing about all this, and she jerked me off with her roommate’s panties. My girlfriend says she gets turned on being “naughty” and most of her fantasies involve being her roommate’s sex slave, me fucking the roommate while my GF is tied up, etc. Our sex life now revolves around the roommate—my GF has stolen a few more pairs of panties and even worn them while I fucked her, and her dirty talk is now almost entirely about her roommate. This turns me on, so I don’t really want it to stop, but my questions are: (1) Is this bad? (2) Is this normal? We’re conditioned to believe women are less kinky and less sexual than men, and I don’t want to buy into that. My girlfriend says she isn’t “that weird.” I don’t know what to think.

-There’s No Acronym For This 1. It’s bad.

2. When it comes to human sexuality, TNAFT, variance is the norm. Which means freakiness/ naughtiness/kinkiness is normal—science backs me up on this—and, yes, lots of women have high libidos and lots are kinky. Your e-mail came sandwiched between a question from a woman who needs sex daily (and foolishly married a man with a very low libido*) and a question from a woman who is into BDSM (and wisely held out for a GGG guy who’s getting better at bondage but can’t bring himself to inflict the erotic/consensual pain she craves**).

But “variance is the norm” doesn’t get your girlfriend off the hook—or you, TNAFT. You and your girlfriend are both violating this poor woman’s privacy, potentially her health (unless your girlfriend is sterilizing her roommate’s vibrator after using it), and—perhaps most importantly—her trust. Honoring each other’s privacy and showing mutual respect for each other’s belongings are the social norms that make it possible for unrelated/unfucking adults to share a living space.

We trust our roommates not to steal money out of our purses, eat our peanut butter, use our toothbrushes, etc. And even if your roommate never catches you, it’s still not okay to use their fucking toothbrush. It should go without saying that we trust our roommates not to shove our dirty panties into their mouths, use our sex toys, hump our pillows, etc. We can’t control who fantasizes about us—people can fantasize about whomever they care to—but we have an absolute right to control who handles our dirty underpants.

(My God, think of all the times you’ve run out of clean underwear and fished a dirty pair out of the laundry and worn them a second time!)

Your girlfriend should make an honest, respectful, naughty pass at her roommate. And who knows? Maybe her roommate is just as pervy as you two are and would jump at the chance to have a sex slave and full use of her roommate/sex slave’s boyfriend in exchange for a few dirty panties. Or maybe she’d like to move.

I am a 29-year-old woman and getting married to my boyfriend of four years, “Adam,” in a few months. Relationship is great, sex is fantastic, no complaints. So why am I writing? Adam’s best friend, “Steve,” was his roommate in college, and Adam recently revealed that he and Steve used to masturbate together. I have no idea what to make of this. I don’t think Adam is gay and I don’t think Steve is either. Maybe they’re heteroflexible?

But is it common for straight guys to masturbate together? Also, why is he just telling me this now, after we’ve been together for four years? I’m not sure how I should act around Steve. He hangs out with us a lot. Help!

-Seeking To Evaluate Very Explosive Disclosure “Buddy-bating among straight guys is more common than people may think,” said Trey Lyon of Fuck Yeah! Friendly Fire, the “definitive source for straightish porn.” Lyon’s website—FYFriendlyFire. com—features porn of the “heteroflexible/almost bi” variety, i.e., two guys who aren’t afraid they’ll melt if their dicks touch while they’re having sex with the same woman. Lyon’s website has more than 200,000 followers and he’s heard from lots of straight/straightish guys who masturbate with—read: beside—their straight/straightish male buddies. Lyon doesn’t have hard data for you, STEVED, only anecdote, but it’s safe to say your fiancé isn’t the only straight/straightish guy out there who’s done a little “buddy-bating.”

So why do straight/straightish guys do this?

“In her controversial 2015 book Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men, author Jane Ward asserts that sexual interaction between straight white men allows them to leverage whiteness and masculinity to authenticate their heterosexuality in the context of sex with men,” said Lyon.

“That by understanding their same-sex sexual interaction as meaningless, accidental, or even necessary, straight white men can homosexually engage in heterosexual ways. As a non-white guy myself, it is my hallucination that the same might be the case across racial lines as well.”

I’m going to break in here for a moment: I think Ward’s book is bullshit—at least when she’s talking about men who have anal/oral sex with other men on the regular and without a female chaperone. While I believe a guy can have a same-sex experience without having to identify as gay or bi—straight men should have the same latitude on this score that straight women enjoy— straightness is so valued (and apparently so vulnerable) that some people can look at guys who put dicks in their mouths at regular intervals and construct book-length rationalizations that allow these guys to avoid identifying or being labeled as bi, gay, or queer. (And if sucking dick allows straight men to “authenticate their heterosexuality,” wouldn’t there be gay men out there eating pussy to “authenticate” their homosexuality?)

Back to Lyon…

“A lot of the straight guys who reach out to me mention that they enjoy bonding in a masculine albeit sexual way with another guy, while also still only being responsible for getting themselves off,” said Lyon. “And sharing a moment of vulnerability in this way with another guy strengthens their friendship. STEVED’s boyfriend may be mentioning this now because it’s not something he feels he should be ashamed of, it’s something well-integrated into his sexuality and orientation, and he feels it is important to be open with his fiancée.

Wait, what’s the problem again?”

I’m a six-months-pregnant woman in a wonderful relationship. My sex drive has skyrocketed, and I get uncomfortably horny at random times. I work at a preschool and have gone into the one-person locked bathroom during my break for a quick rubout. Is this wrong? It takes me one minute to come and I’m totally silent. But I’m at a preschool and there are little kids on the other side of that door. Thoughts?

THE CALENDAR One Day with Dolores Huerta

80 Artists & Writers Over 125 Art Books Every two years, non-profit publisher Radius Books invites every artist we have published to come to Santa Fe for a booksale and auction.

KELLY JOHNSON

Many in the Chicanx community know Dolores Huerta as the woman who brought the huelga to agro-businessmen in the Salinas Valley and beyond. Now, Huerta’s story is told in Dolores, a documentary directed by Peter Bratt, which opens at the Center for Contemporary Arts this Friday (it’s sold out that day, but the free community celebration isn’t: 5 pm. 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338).

As a steadfast social justice advocate and union organizer, Huerta co-founded the United Farm Workers Union in 1962 with Cesar Chávez. The phrase Huerta coined, “Si Se Puede,” was not only the rallying cry of the UFW, but also the slogan Barack Obama borrowed for his presidential runs. In talking with Huerta, now 87 and originally from New Mexico, it’s clear that she is still all business, taking on everything from tax law in California to teaching people of color to run for office. As she says, “the journey for justice is not over.” See an extended version of this interview at SFReporter.com. (Alicia Inez Guzmán)

RADIUS BOOKS T: 505 983 4068 radiusbooks.org

How did you learn public speaking?

Just getting the message out there gives me the impetus and motivation. For example, [the 1973 UFW boycott of] grapes and lettuce. But as part of the UFW, we also taught other people to speak in public.

Immigrants who never had the chance to have a voice did. During the grape boycott, 40 farmworkers went to New York City in a school bus to speak at churches and labor unions, asking others to boycott grapes.

They helped form committees and were on radio shows. All of this happened before social media, and it was successful.

Where did you get your values from?

New Mexico. I grew up in Dawson until I was 6 and a half years old, when my parents divorced. That’s when I moved to California. I spent another summer there when I was 11. But I continued to have a lot of cousins and tíos from New Mexico, all of whom shared the same values. Part of the New Mexican tradition that I inherited from the old families was that everybody would sit around talking; politics was always part of the conversation. It was something we all did. Voting and political participation was just part of growing up.

What are you working on now with your foundation (doloreshuerta.org) or otherwise?

We worked on a proposition to tax millionaires in California an extra 3 percent, which passed on a state level and brings $9 billion more into the state.

That was Proposition 30 from 2012, which was renewed as Proposition 55 in 2016 because of a sunset provision. We are also working on a proposition to make corporations pay their fair share of property taxes. As part of the foundation, we have house meetings, sometimes in people’s yards if there isn’t enough room, where we bring people together to talk about what conditions in their community need to be addressed and then we come up with an action plan.

We encourage them to run for office after they’ve gone through the learning process of canvassing and voter registration. I’m also working on a book project with my daughter about how you become strong to be able to give other people a voice so that they can make changes.

ACTING OUT A Peach of a Creeper

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

A

ended up in concentration camps. Many of them died in the camps. (This is xenophobes’ cue to shift uncomfortably.) Saquiel’s great-aunt was one of the doomed passengers; so was Bemadette’s first love, Ariel.

At the time of the play, it is 61 years after the voyage, and Saquiel is researching it to present at a conference. He learns of Bemadette and shows up at her doorstep to try to get her to talk about Ariel.

He calls her from his cell phone from the sidewalk, gazing up at her window wistfully. She tells him to leave her alone.

Of course, he doesn’t. He’d might as well have a boombox.

Soon the line is blurred between Saquiel’s desire for information about the ship, his desire to read Bemadette’s private writing, and his desire for Bemadette herself … or, as we soon see, his desire for Lucila, too, once he meets her. It certainly helps that Saquiel is “a peach” and that he has “the hands of a poet,” as Lucila says breathlessly. If he were some kind of bridge troll, you can bet the cops would have been called immediately. But he’s pretty. He’s weird, sure, but … maybe let him in.

Reiser’s proto-Cuban accent jumped around the board a little bit from pan-Latin to hints of his haunting Ernst Ludwig from the Playhouse’s Cabaret back in July. Forgiving that, we started to view him more as simply an oddly inflected generic creeper, and that made the vocal oddities easier to ignore. (Think the breathiness of that weird teenage kid from American Beauty mixed with a little Hannibal Lecter gentility.) Opposite

the nymph-like Shrady as Bemadette, his commanding presence—even though they never actually meet—makes it easy to understand why Bemadette would soon start to wait for his phone calls, and why Lucila would do anything to get closer to him.

Speaking of whom, we continuously root for Salazar’s Lucila. First introduced as the archetypical “bawdy chambermaid,” she doesn’t waste any time becoming far more than that. She is Bemadette’s confidante and friend—perhaps her only one, as the elder woman is agoraphobic— but emerges as thoughtful and independent as she attends a salsa class with Saquiel, soon folding to his charms.

In a predictable but no less headshaking advancement, Saquiel uses his proximity to Lucila to beg her for access to Bemadette’s papers. We don’t feel the need to call out to Lucila to run, though; we get the feeling she is hip to Saquiel’s manipulative tricks. She is smart enough to know what he’s doing, and he is selfabsorbed enough to think she’ll cave entirely. Salazar is nimble in the role, and her chemistry with both of her co-stars is both comfortable and complex. Lucila stays non-despicable throughout (I would expound on Bemadette’s shortcomings, but I have a word limit), and we love her for it.

We would be remiss not to nod to Cheryl Odom’s costume coordination.

Bemadette, in a casual dress, laced loafers and slouched socks, is just as at home in 1941 as she is in 2000; Saquiel in breezy linen looks just off the plane from Cuba; Lucila cinches a shapeless frock with a wide belt only when she sees Saquiel—they are all wearing curated costumes without appearing costumed. Skip Rapoport’s lighting aids in the interpretation of a script that often switches between time periods and soliloquy, and we had no problem rolling with the changes.

A play that begins in cerebral, too-heady wordiness and ends with visceral reactions to pseudo-romance and entitlement, Sotto Voce left us unnerved—yet proud of its actors for confronting privilege at its slimiest.

CAMERON GAY

few weeks ago, an article story of Saquiel, a young Cuban writer about a heartbroken young (John H Reiser), an octogenarian German went viral. The Mirror man-born novelist named Bemadette reported that Luke Howard (Francesca Shrady) and Bemadette’s Coof Bristol, United Kingdom, vowed to lombian housekeeper Lucila (Juliet Salaplay piano in public for 24 straight hours zar). Saquiel has come to New York City to show his “lost love” (a woman he’d dat- to track down Bemadette while researched for four months) how much he cared. ing his family history. In 1939, Saquiel’s The social media clapback was great-aunt boarded a boat from Germany immediate and harsh. Sure, women to Cuba as a Jewish refugee. The boat was do weird shit like this too, but popular turned away in Havana, forced to bring its culture has so fetishized the dreamy passengers back to Germany, and all but yet disconsolate stud (Dustin Hoffman a couple dozen of the 900-plus refugees screaming “Elaine!”; John Cusack with his boombox) that some dudes think it’s okay to make already-uncomfortable women even more so by loudly professing undying infatuation after she has clearly said “no.”

Howard was quickly called entitled and creepy. His critics weren’t wrong.

This brand of “romantic” behavior is rampant in Sotto Voce, up now at Teatro Paraguas; it left us so bothered by multiple characters’ blatant senses of entitlement that new frustrations bubbled up for days.

Stew-pendous B Y E L I S E R AT T t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

P

aris, 1765: A man by the name of Boulanger— first name unknown— dreamt of turning his passion for food into a career. The only problem was that he couldn’t afford the steep dues of the Parisian culinary guilds, which strictly regulated everything from baking to roasting to wine-making. His solution? Open a shop for something beyond the realm of guilds: soup-making. And so, the first restaurant was born. The word “restaurant” even pays homage to his quaint shop near the Louvre.

Above it, a sign read “Boulanger débite des restaurants divins,” or “Boulanger sells restoratives fit for the gods,” advertising his heavenly, restorative soups.

Or so goes the story in Larousse Gastronomique, the seminal culinary encyclopedia. The backstory is still hotly contested, but the place of soups in culinary traditions is not. In fact, archaeologists have found evidence of our ancient ancestors making soup over 20,000 years ago. Fast forward a couple hundred centuries, and The Frugal Housewife, the second cookbook to be published in the United States, dedicated an entire chapter to the delicacy.

Soups are easily my favorite food group, and now that we’ve (finally) torn off the September page of the calendar, the time is upon us. As a soup-er fan, I order, cook and consume them throughout even the most blistering heat, but they just taste better in sweater weather. Luckily, there are plenty of places to get souped up in Santa Fe, including your own home. Here are some of my favorites around town, as well as an easy recipe to try if it’s too cozy to leave the house.

If you need to escape autumn’s chill but can’t swing a trip down Mexico way, head to Adelita’s Mexican Restaurant (3136 Cerrillos Road, 474-4897) for their

caldo de camarón, or shrimp soup. Served steaming-hot, this tomato-garlic soup full of wellsized shrimp—my “small” order ($11.95) had over a dozen—will chase away the cold and get you in that Yucatán frame of mind. The huge $5 margaritas don’t hurt, either.

Soups are integral to diets around the world, which was the inspiration behind the Vinaigrette (709 Don Cubero Alley, 820-9205) “Around the World in 40 Soups” promotion ($4-$7). Between now and April, Chef Erin Wade features soups representing different cultural backgrounds and flavor palettes. October’s calendar alone ranges from Philadelphia pepper pot to Thai pumpkin laksa. Keep in mind: This is the woman responsible for the pho-sole ($7.75) at Modern General (637 Cerrillos Road, 9305642),, so we’re in good hands.

And what’s a list of soups in New Mexico without menmen tion of green chile stew? PalaPala cio Café (209 E Palace Ave., 989-3505) offers up one of the best in town for $5 per cup or $7 per bowl. Made in-house everyday by the owners, Damian and Maria Muñoz, this beef-based stew hits all the right notes: spicy, savory, scrumptious. It’s a popular lunch spot tight on square footage, so if it’s too crowded, give their oththeir oth er location Palacio Palacio Café II (227 Don Gaspar Ave., 820-7888) for a shot for some wiggle room.

The patio is perfect for sunny autumn afternoons.

As the temperature drops and the days shorten, it’s sometimes a struggle for me to rally the desire to eat out. One of the great things about soup, though, is how easy it can be to make something supertasty. Growing up, my mom would throw this one together after work.

It takes under half an hour from fridge to bowl, and it’s a breeze to modify to suit various diets.

IT’S FALL, Y’ALL— LET’S SOUP IT UP!

Tortellini Soup Serves: 4

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil • 1 tablespoon garlic, finely chopped (2-3 cloves) • One 28-ounce can stewed tomatoes • Two 14.5-ounce cans chicken broth • 10 ounces fresh cheese tortellini (I use Buitoni, but any brand will do; in the refrigerated dairy section) • 5 ounces fresh spinach

• In a large soup pot, heat oil over medium heat.

• Add garlic and sauté until tender.

• Add tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.

• Let simmer 15 minutes.

• Add tortellini and cover then simmer until al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to keep the tortellini from sticking.

• Stir in spinach until wilted.

• Garnish with parmesan or shredded mozzarella cheese if you wish. As mentioned, it’s easy to adapt to fit your needs—substitute the tortellini with cooked chicken (I usually use a store-bought rotisserie chicken for ease), and it’s both low-carb and gluten-free.

MOVIES Battle of the Sexes Review Don’t mess with Billie Jean King

7

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

Did we really need a 10-minute “society might not like our lesbian relationship” scene set to Elton John’s “Rocket Man” in the middle of Battle of the Sexes? It just seems so on-the-nose. And yeah, Billie Jean King was a hell of a tennis player who struck a tremendous blow for equal rights and pay for women athletes at a time when men shamelessly disrespected them. It seems, though, that directors Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton (the team behind 2006 indie sleeper hit Little Miss Sunshine) prefer to beat us over the head with a long and almost leering look at King’s budding homosexuality and/or somehow-still-shocking examples of misogyny rather than let the legend’s prowess and monumental victories stand out on their own.

Emma Stone (fresh off her Oscar win for La La Land) does bring the heat as King, a subtle combo of charmingly disarming and ferocious champion, but her phenomenal athletic ability takes a backseat to the drama unfolding off the court; namely, aging tennis player Bobby Riggs’ (Steve Carell) last shot at the big time by stirring up

+ A PIVOTAL

EVENT IN AMERICAN HISTORY - GLOSSES OVER A LOT OF THE ACTUAL STORY

controversy with his self-proclaimed male chauvinism. Riggs famously baited King into the 1973 exhibition match (from which the film takes its title) that pitted the sexes against each other—a match he lost.

There’s a lot to be said for the writing here as King never lets Riggs’ for-show sexism affect her so much as it seems to amuse her, which paints her as a natural-born leader and competitor with her priorities firmly set. But when Sexes veers into some barely-there lesson about the important people in our lives, it starts to lose potency.

King’s husband, for example, is seemingly content to let her just do whatever the hell she wants while he buries his feelings and acts as her cheerleader. Riggs’ strained relationships make an appearance as well, though not in a meaningful or deep enough way as to make us feel for him.

Regardless, the final showdown does stir up plenty of feelings and we can’t help but succumb

to King’s magnetism (not that we didn’t want to), even if the broader story is distilled a bit too much and the vast majority of supporting characters get relegated to simplistic for-or-against roles.

This is especially disappointing given the caliber of actor in Sexes; veteran stand-up Sarah Silverman particularly delights in a surprise turn, and Bill Pullman is the perfect gentleman-sexist you love to hate. Thank goodness, though, that the casual sexism at play seems jarring and wrong, and not just in a “that-was-the-time” way. We’ve indeed come a long way (and still have a long way to go), but we owe King much thanks. It just would have been nice to have a more focused film to tell the tale.

how the body must be removed from the house and so forth. But the longer Chandra sticks around, the more his psychological turmoil becomes apparent, leaving us to wonder if we ever truly process trauma or simply run from it as long as we can.

The gorgeous setting complements the engaging performances—especially from child actors who prove so natural and engrossing that even veteran Nepalese performers have trouble keeping up. But someplace between the heavy subject matter and the molassesslow pacing, it can be easy to let your mind wander. For a relatively obscure director (in the West, anyway), Rauniyar has put together an interesting slice of his country’s challenges; but without an interest in the area or a preexisting love of ultra-dramatic film, White Sun could prove too slow for some. This is perhaps cinema for cinematophiles in the strictest sense, but a breezy time at the movies it is not.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that, and film fest buzz isn’t off the mark—you just have to decide if you have the fortitude for such fare.

Those who falter at the idea need not apply.

(Alex De Vore) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 89 min.

+ GORGEOUS, MOVING - INCREDIBLY SLOW AND HEAVY

Old wounds heal hard in White Sun, the sophomore effort from Nepalese filmmaker Deepak Rauniyar. When a young man named Chandra’s father dies in his tiny home village, he must return to help in the process. Years ago, Chandra fought as an insurgent during the region’s civil war that cost thousands of lives, and his hometown still reels in the aftermath.

Men, outside of elders mired in tradition, are few and far between, having died in the war or moved on to greener pastures, and what few villagers remain cling desperately to their way of life.

Chandra, who now lives in Kathmandu, must navigate a confusing labyrinth of past relationships, strict ceremonial guidelines for his father’s corpse and residual pain in the eyes of those he left behind.

White Sun does hit all the right cinematographic notes with snow-capped mountains looming above the quaint village and a sort of ever-present stuck-in-time feel.

Further gripping are the post-mortem rules of such a remote area: who can touch the body,

When British gentlepeople get super-violent, like in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, you know it’s serious.

KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE

+ CAMPY, OVER-THE-TOP ACTION - BLOODY, OVER-THE-TOP VIOLENCE

man’s equivalent of James Bond’s Q—and Pedro Pascal (Narcos) is brilliant as a Burt Reynolds-esque American agent from the Kingsman’s counterparts across the pond, the Statesmen.

Taron Egerton (Eddie the Eagle) plays street-punkturned-agent Eggsy with a mixture of confidence and disbelief that’s endearing.

At its worst, the movie makes repeated tone-deaf references to landmines in Cambodia.

Vaughn and co-writer Jane Goldman would have to work hard to find a more literal way to trip over their own wit. The script falls flat when it

Within a few minutes of the opening scene of Kingsman: The Golden Circle, we’re reminded just how over-the-top director Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-men: First Class) can get, for better and for worse. The CGI camera zooms in on the hideout of drug kingpin Julianne Moore (Still Alice), a Disney-esque 1950s theme park carved into the Cambodian jungle. The eccentric touch weaves a stylistic and thematic thread through the entire movie, thanks in part to an assist from Elton John (Elton John! How else would you know him?). Mere moments later, Vaughn’s megawatt world turns upside down as the meat mincer in a diner hums to life—before it ends a life. For all its violence (and there’s plenty here), the movie doesn’t touch the stunning gore of the first installment of the Kingsman series. That’s a good thing.

At its best, Vaughn’s film approaches Dr. Strangelove territory in its gleeful self-awareness.

It can both wink at the audience (literally, in Sir Elton’s case) and pull off the tension of a real spy movie. The art direction, set design and costume work are impeccable. Mark Strong (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) is on point as Merlin—the Kings-

comes to roles for Halle Berry, Channing Tatum and Jeff Bridges—who reprises once more his marble-mouthed Western/Southern accent. And the way-too-far scene in which Eggsy plants a tracking device in a female mark is, well, way too far.

All in all, though, this is an enjoyable romp for adults (not kids) that rates well when compared to what it could be and promises a sequel sometime in the not-so-distant—but surely fantastical—future. (Matt Grubs) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 141 min.

We hear this new LEGO movie has a house cat for a villain, so ...

+ RETURN TO WISEACRE LEGO UNIVERSE

- CASH GRAB WITHOUT THE CACHET

The latest LEGO flick is what skeptics initially feared the franchise would be, before Phil Lord and Christopher Miller elevated The LEGO Movie into something witty and poignant. Charlie Bean applies his safe Cartoon Network sensibility to this spinoff about young ninjas protecting the land of Ninjago. Each ninja embodies an earth element—fire, water, lightning, etc.—and offers little character development. The exception is Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja, whose life is complicated by the fact that his estranged father, Lord Garmadon, is Ninjago’s would-be conqueror (basically, imagine walking around high school with the name “Lloyd bin Laden”).

After he unwittingly unleashes a live-action cat named Meowthra, contrivance joins the ninjas with Lord Garmadon on a quest concocted by sensei Master Wu (Jackie Chan) for “the ultimate ultimate weapon.” But it’s just a Star Wars-esque device to help Lloyd find the good in his father.

We’re left to make do with weak puns, weary pop-culture references, and a waning sense of discovery. (Neil Morris) Regal, Violet Crown, 101 min.

MOTHER!

+ DISCONCERTING WEIRDNESS - MARKETED WRONG; COULD BE TOO BIZARRE FOR SOME

Is filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) attempting to diffuse the concept of May-December relationships in Mother! (like his own with the film’s star, Jennifer Lawrence, for example)—or is he simply ruminating on the idea that creativity and creative types thrive on non-reciprocal adoration and eat up everything good in their path? Either way, he’s strayed into far weirder territory than perhaps even 2000’s Requiem for a Dream, though the imagery and unstuck-in-time nature of Mother! is at least more disconcerting.

J-Law is some nameless woman, apparently Beetlejuiced into never leaving her countryside home which she shares with Javier Bardem, a similarly nameless man whom we discover is a poet who can’t write anymore after other, also nameless people (played excellently and beyond creepily by Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer) show up mysteriously to hang around to love on his older work. This doesn’t sit well with Lawrence, who spends the entirety of the film sinking deeper into the fever dream from a vantage of powerlessness; at all times she is cleaning, renovating, worrying, while Bardem and crew shirk off her CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

We know it was the 1980s, but someone should’ve told this kid not to reach into clowninfested sewers. Still, It is pretty spooky, and we’re down. obviously mounting frustrations. Bardem, it seems, loves the attention from strangers despite Lawrence’s concerns that he’s allowing outsiders into their paradise.

And oh, how it gets worse. A pregnancy spurs momentary calmness, not to mention inspiration in Bardem and, in defeating his writer’s block, an opening is provided for every insane fan, agent, publisher and hanger-on to appear, thereby transforming a would-be dream house into a labyrinthian hellscape of illogical proportions.

Like Lawrence, we begin to question the reality of the situation. Is she going mad, or is her adjacency to fame and bright-burning creativity simply more than anyone can handle?

Regardless, there is magical realism afoot, albeit born of black magic. The more she pulls against the throngs now inhabiting her home, the more their numbers grow and the more Bardem attempts to calm her—which is maddening.

There may be more questions than answers by the time Mother! ends, and the imagery and symbolism are a mite on the nose for anyone who cares to Google its stars and director.

Having said that, it still sticks with you long after it’s over and will surely cause plenty of conversations. No, this isn’t a horror movie in the traditional sense; more like challenging, high-concept satire—though we’d point out very little is funny in a ha-ha sort of way. Whatever else, though, it’s dark and scary with more than enough of Aronofsky’s trademark directorial touches to make it worthwhile. Just prepare to feel sort of … off.

classic opening scene involving a paper boat and a yellow slicker. After the disappearance of dozens of children and after the end of school, the story joins “the losers’ club” on their misadventure of summer. Punchy dialog like “yo-mama” one-liners from the group of boys meets the obvious adolescent fun of the only girl in the gang; Sophia Lillis (A Midsummer Night’s Dream) has amazing eyes as Beverly Marsh. Few adults even utter substantial lines in the telling, and most of them are bruised and shadowy characters. They can’t see even see the clown monster, Pennywise (a justifiably terrifying and CGI-enhanced Bill Skarsgård).

The club discovers a pattern—that Pennywise feeds on fear and returns every 27 years to feast on children in the town. What a great setup for another movie, right? And, if they follow the latest scheme of turning one book into three movies a la The Hobbit, maybe even a third. This script takes enough liberties with the original work that it’s both annoying and intriguing to see what’s next, but it feels like planned obsolescence. Still, we’ll be there on opening night again to see where it goes all the same. (Julie Ann Grimm) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 135 min.

+ MODERN TAKE ON A CLASSIC - ONLY TACKLES A FRACTION OF THE TALE

Filmmakers have been having a go at Stephen King’s horror honor roll stories since half the people in the audience were in diapers, and the newest rendition has echoes of blood-soaked Carrie (both the 1976 and 2013 versions) and kid bonding that recalls Stand by Me (1986).

What it doesn’t do is bring up the 1990 version of itself. The new It for the big screen is not It made for TV. And it’s not a straight line from the book either.

Among King’s best works are those that hold central a group of children, and the young actors who take on these roles in Mama director Andy Muschietti’s new effort are a convincing, cohesive bunch.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of October 4th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You wouldn’t expect a fiveyear-old child to paint a facsimile of Picasso’s Guernica or sing Puccini’s opera, La Boheme. Similarly, you shouldn’t fault your companions and you for not being perfect masters of the art of intimate relationships. In fact, most of us are amateurs. We may have taken countless classes in math, science, literature, and history, but have never had a single lesson from teachers whose area of expertise is the hard work required to create a healthy partnership. I mention this, Aries, because the next seven weeks will be an excellent time for you to remedy this deficiency.

Homework assignments: What can you do to build your emotional intelligence? How can you learn more about the art of creating vigorous togetherness?

who specializes in interesting truths; 3. a charming extremist who’s capable of solving stubborn riddles; 4. a smooth operator who keeps everyone calm even as you initiate big changes; 5. an enlightened game-player who reforms or avoids games that abuse beauty’s power.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): In accordance with the astrological omens, I invite you to slow down and create a wealth of spacious serenity. Use an unhurried, step-by-step approach to soothe yourself. With a glint in your eye and a lilt in your voice, say sweet things to yourself. In a spirit of play and amusement, pet and pamper yourself as you would a beloved animal. Can you handle that much self-love, Taurus? I think you can. It’s high time for you to be a genius of relaxation, attending tenderly to all the little details that make you feel at ease and in love with the world.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Actress and author Carrie Fisher wrote three autobiographies. Speed skating Olympics star Apolo Anton Ono published his autobiography at age 20. The rascal occultist Aleister Crowley produced an “autohagiography.” To understand that odd term, keep in mind that “hagiography” is an account of the life of a saint, so adding “auto” means it’s the biography of a saint penned by the saint himself. I’m bringing up these fun facts in hope of encouraging you to ruminate at length on your life story. If you don’t have time to write a whole book, please take a few hours to remember in detail the gloriously twisty path you have trod from birth until now. According to my reading of the astrological omens, the best way to heal what needs to be healed is to steep yourself in a detailed meditation on the history of your mysterious destiny.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If you go to the Historical Museum of the Palatinate in Germany, you will see a jug of wine that was bottled in 1687. In accorGEMINI (May 21-June 20): “If an angel were to tell us dance with astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suggest that you find a metaphorical version of this vintage bevsomething of his philosophies, I do believe some of his propositions would sound like 2 x 2 = 13.” So said erage—and then metaphorically drink it! In my opinion, it’s time for you to partake of a pleasure that has been the German scientist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg patiently waiting for you to enjoy it. The moment is ripe (1742-1799). Now maybe you don’t believe in the for you to try an experience you’ve postponed, to call in existence of angels, and so you imagine his idea favors that have been owed to you, to finally do fun doesn’t apply to you. But I’m here to tell you that an things you’ve been saving for the right occasion. influence equivalent to an angel will soon appear in your vicinity. Maybe it’ll be a numinous figure in your CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If a late-night TV talk show dreams, or a charismatic person you admire, or a called and asked me to be a guest, I’d say no. If People vivid memory resurrected in an unexpected form, or a magazine wanted to do a story on me, I’d decline. What bright fantasy springing to life. And that “angel” will good is fame like that? It might briefly puff up my ego, but present a proposition that sounds like 2 x 2 = 13. it wouldn’t enhance my ability to create useful oracles for CANCER (June 21-July 22): Unless you have an offyou. The notoriety that would come my way might even road vehicle, you can’t drive directly from North distract me from doing what I love to do. So I prefer to America to South America. The Pan-American remain an anonymous celebrity, as I am now, addressing Highway stretches from Prudhoe Bay in northern your deep self with my deep self. My messages are more Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina—a distance of about valuable to you if I remain an enigmatic ally instead of just 19,000 miles—except for a 100-mile patch of swampy another cartoony media personality. By the way, I suspect rainforest in Panama. I’d like to call your attention to a you’ll soon face a comparable question. Your choice will be comparable break in continuity that affects your own between what’s flashy and what’s authentic; between inner terrain, Cancerian—a grey area where two impor- feeding your ego and feeding your soul. tant areas of your life remain unlinked. The coming AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A Canadian guy named weeks will be a favorable time to close the gap.

What long-range inquiries or inviout from noodles and dried fish to electronics. And the tations might you send out in the direction of the frontier? coming six weeks will be quite favorable for formulating your plans and planting your seeds.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In my opinion, you’re not quite ready to launch full-tilt into the rebuilding phase.

You still have a bit more work to do on tearing down the old stuff that’s in the way of where the new stuff will go. So I recommend that you put an “Under Construction” sign outside your door, preferably with flashing yellow lights. This should provide you with protection from those who don’t understand the complexity of the process you’re engaged in.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You’re a good candidate for the following roles: 1. a skeptical optimist who is both discerning and open-minded; 2. a robust truth-teller

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “Intensify” is one of your words of power these days. So are “fortify,” “reinforce,” and “buttress.” Anything you do to intensify your devotion and focus will be rewarded by an intensification of life’s gifts to you. As you take steps to fortify your sense of security and stability, you will activate dormant reserves of resilience. If you reinforce your connections with reliable allies, you will set in motion forces that will ultimately bring you help you didn’t even know you needed. If you buttress the bridge that links your past and future, you will ensure that your old way of making magic will energize your new way.
