NM has the nation’s widest gender gap in STEM bachelor’s degrees, but girls and women here are narrowing it

e are but a few of the many customers of Joe “Ranger” Lujan and Joe Martinez who own and operate the “New Old Trail Garage.” We all rely on Ranger and Joe to air up our tires, fix our flats and repair our cars in a morning or afternoon without appointment, knowing they will do it perfectly. You own the New Old Trail Garage property.

You have informed Ranger and Joe that they may continue to use the garage for another year only if they sign a lease obligating them to pay an increase in rent from $2,000 per month to $3,500 per month for the next year and then $4,000 per month for the following year.

Thereafter, they are on a month-to-month tenancy and can be forced to move at any time unless they purchase the property from you.

Your proposed lease also makes their hydraulic lifts and other garage improvements your property whenever they move. Without their hydraulic lifts and other equipment, Joe and Ranger cannot start their business at another location. You have put them out of business.

The Santa Fe County Assessor lists the property’s total market value at $149,674. Your latest price was $800,000, up from $700,000 a few months ago. Your price is a price you know they cannot pay and no one would pay.

Your entire proposal is overreaching and wrong for our community.

A BETTER PATH FOR THE SANTA FE COMMUNITY is to allow the property to be sold or leased at a reasonable price as determined by the three of you or failing that by mediation such as was required by the City when you were sued by the Atalaya neighborhood a number of years ago. William Madison, known as one of the State’s best attorneys and recognized for his abilities for resolving complicated and contested issues, has agreed to mediate the matter if you would participate.

We choose to presume you are unknowingly forcing Joe and Ranger out of business because you live in Tesuque, do not use Joe and Ranger’s services, consider their garage location as just another parcel in your large property portfolio, and do not appreciate the importance to our neighborhood of having a convenient place to have cars repaired promptly, fairly and without fuss.

Part II of this letter, which will follow next week, will set forth testimonials from the various customers listed below to give you a realistic understanding of the importance of Ranger and Joe continuing to operate the New Old Trail Garage at their current location. We believe you will find it convincing.

The actions we request of you will be recognized and celebrated publically here in the same manner as the deficiencies we are pointing out today. We look forward to working this matter out with you.

Any other customers, friends and admirers of Joe and Ranger who wish to join in this effort, please let us know at:

COVER, OCT. 2: “HOMEGROWN REVOLUTION”

FOOD: NOT FOOD ANYMORE Your cover story of Oct. 2 has people comment about wanting to return to traditional foods. For the most part, that can’t happen.

We don’t have a traditional atmosphere.

We have one overflowing with carbon dioxide. Our plants take up that extra CO2 and grow larger and produce more grain, but the additional amount of produce is all carbohydrate. We’re getting more carbs and fewer nutrients, and we’re nowhere close to starting to alter that dynamic. Consider when you start the SUV tomorrow.

ENCOURAGING DWI New Mexico has the worst DWI record in the country regarding arrests and deaths due to drunk driving. I see now “COLD

BEER” available at gas stations all over town, don’t tell me they buy it and take it home to drink there. Then there is the “Margarita Trail” event, where you drive from one restaurant to another for those drinks. Maybe I am missing something here, but isn’t that a little like jumping off a cliff and hoping you can fly? There are people offended by my questions regarding the “Margarita Trail” event, I think it is unconscionable. How can you track what someone drank at home before they even started on the ‘trail’?

Drinking and driving don’t work and it needs to be stopped, not encouraged.

Simon Says Sayonara

Outgoing Chamber of Commerce head talks business in Santa Fe

and some new companies like Descartes Lab and Meow Wolf and the creative industry. The film industry is now doing well, and you add the oil and gas revenue that benefits all of New Mexico and the investment that represents … A number of things have all come together at the right time to improve the employment outlook.

What is your biggest criticism in terms of the City of Santa Fe as it relates to business?

I think two. I think the Railyard has been a disappointment and two is probably just the speed of government is still slow.

I think the current administration is the best one I’ve worked with, but they seem to take a long time to make changes and improvements.

What is your specific criticism of the Railyard?

There’s no people there. I think the design was flawed. I think the governing structure is flawed. I think the parking and transportation is flawed. I think the security is flawed. It’s disappointing to have such a wonderful space in the middle of town, and be down there and there’s not a soul and the businesses that are there have mostly struggled. Violet Crown and Second Street [Brewery] are doing well, but most of the others have struggled.

Simon Brackley

BY JULIA GOLDBERG j u l i a g o l d b e r g @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

t the end of the month, Simon Brackley, who has been with the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce since 1998 and its president since 2006, will step down to travel and spend time with family. Current Chamber Vice President Bridget Dixson is set to become president on Nov. 1. SFR chatted with Brackley about his tenure and Santa Fe’s business climate over the years. The interview has been edited for space and clarity.

SFR: What has been the biggest change you’ve seen during your era

for the Santa Fe business community?

Simon Brackley: I think a recession and then a recovery. The employment picture has completely changed in the last three to four years. For a long time, people used to say there are no good jobs in Santa Fe and now that’s completely not true: We’ve managed to diversify our economy and now things are doing very well.

To what do you attribute that shift?

Some of that is recovering from the recession nationwide, worldwide.

Some of it is investment in Christus St. Vincent [Regional Medical Center] and Presbyterian [Santa Fe Medical Center] and Los Alamos National Laboratory gearing up and doing some major hiring,

What’s the top concern you hear from local businesses?

Regulation. Licensing. And No. 2 is probably public safety … people watch TV news from Albuquerque and realize that’s an hour away, and they worry that kind of serious violent crime might come to our community. We’re a safe small town right now, and we’d like to keep it that way.

You told The New York Times in 2015 that you thought Somos Un Pueblo Unido had exaggerated the prevalence of wage violations in Santa Fe. What’s your take on that issue now?

I think it’s gotten worse. At that time, I did some research on Department of Workforce Solutions data and the number I remember was 80 violations or reported violations statewide. That’s back in the news recently and now there are hundreds. It may be improved enforcement by the department, it may be people’s greater willingness to come forward and so on. I think that has become a more serious problem than it used to be and it certainly needs attention. That is basically straight theft from employees, which is completely unacceptable.

NEWS

In 2007, you also told The New York Times—you’ve been in The New York Times a lot—you thought typical complaints about short-term rentals in terms of quality of life weren’t on-point in Santa Fe. You said: ‘We are a pretty sophisticated town; people come here for the art and culture. We’re not a college town. We don’t have tequiladrinking contests.’ I’m guessing your thinking on short-term rentals has evolved in the last 12 years?

Well, yes. It’s become a very important part of the local economy … I’m pleased the city has done good research, along with Homewise, to determine how many there are to make sure they are licensed. We want to see active enforcement to make sure they are following the rules and they are contributing both gross receipts and lodgers’ tax. I’m optimistic the city will decide to take the additional gross receipts tax and put that toward the Affordable Housing Trust Fund. This is found money [$1.6 million] the city wasn’t budgeting.

You must hear concerns from businesses about the housing situation.

It’s the No. 1 challenge I hear from business owners. It’s always workforce, but now it’s places for workforce to live.

The chamber was part of 2003 litigation challenging the Living Wage Law. Where do you stand now and what impact do you think the law has had? … I was not part of the decision the chamber took to sue. I think during the recession it made things worse in the sense that if a business is already feeling a squeeze, it was difficult to come up with $10 or $11-an-hour to pay entry-level people to work. My biggest concern now is that high school students will go to work rather than stay in school because they can make $12 or $15-an-hour working and not pursuing their studies, which keeps them stuck in a poverty trap because they don’t acquire new skills or new education.

What are you going to miss?

Being involved in the community. This position allows me to know a little about a lot of things … it’s an inch deep and a mile wide and I enjoy that. The reward of it has been working with entrepreneurs. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and help literally hundreds of business people and work really hard and come up with some incredibly creative ways to operate a business and that’s been very rewarding.

NM has long lacked race and ethnicity data in criminal justice—that might be about to change

BY J E F F P RO CTO R @NMInDepth

A

state senator says she’ll push for laws in the coming years to answer a long-troubling question in New Mexico: Does the criminal justice system here disproportionately target non-white people?

Sen. Antoinette Sedillo Lopez, an Albuquerque Democrat and former law professor, tells New Mexico In Depth she was “stunned” to learn during this year’s legislative session, her first in the Senate, that few agencies collect or share data on the race and ethnicity of people caught up in the system.

“I thought, how was I not aware of this?” she said in an interview last week.

“It was really weird.”

So Sedillo Lopez is working up a memorial she plans to introduce at the 2020 session, which begins in January, directing the New Mexico Sentencing Commission to study how—and whether—the state’s jails and prisons gather demographic information on people who are locked up or on probation.

Though she doesn’t yet have a detailed plan for the next step, she aims to use the study to bolster a bill in 2021 that would “ensure that this data is collected and continues to be collected regardless of who’s in charge.”

The Sentencing Commission says it’ll be glad to do the work.

Deputy Director Douglas Carver said it’s precisely the sort of analysis that led to the creation of the commission, which is composed of prosecutors, defense lawyers, legal experts and longtime justice system observers.

“We are a neutral arbiter,” Carver said. “But we can’t do proper research unless we have data.”

The announcement comes after a NMID story in March— published during this year’s legislative session—that found New Mexico lags behind other states and the federal system in tracking race and ethnicity across the justice system: from first contacts with law enforce-

ment officers to arrests to incarceration rates.

For Sedillo Lopez, studies on disproportionate treatment of nonwhite people in the federal system and in states that do collect race and ethnicity data such as Florida and California had her wondering what was happening here.

Then she began touring New Mexico prisons as a member of the Legislature’s Courts, Corrections and Justice interim committee.

During a recent visit to the Southern New Mexico Correctional Facility in Mesilla, Sedillo Lopez said “it’s visible that there’s an over-representation” of nonwhite people.

And in multiple prisons, she noticed something else.

“This is just a visual, but the [state] population of African Americans is 1 or 2%, and it’s really clear when you go to the prisons that the population is larger than that—just counting who you see,” Sedillo Lopez said. “We need to know that. We need to know why.”

It’s an especially important question, she said, because New Mexico is one of just five states in which a majority of residents aren’t white.

New Mexico Corrections Department staffers do ask people as they enter state prisons or the Probation and Parole program questions about their race and ethnicity. But the information collected isn’t stored in a searchable database.

And this state is one of just a handful in the nation in which nearly half the people either locked up or under some other form of justice system supervision are in jails or other county-run programs—not in the Corrections Department’s system.

At the state’s largest county jail, the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center, booking officers decide by sight and surname about an incoming inmate’s race or ethnicity, then either enter it into a form or leave it blank.

Some of New Mexico’s other 30 county jails have no system at all for collecting demographic information.

“So that’s a huge population that is unaccounted for,” Carver said.

The dearth of data leads to uninformed conversations among communities and policymakers alike, experts say, and that often leads to distrust of the system and ideologically based arguments.

“Right now we have an inability to describe any disparity that is anecdotally described at numerous meetings where

NEWS

we hear a lot about disparity,” said Linda Freeman, director of the Sentencing Commission. “Until we have a consistent way to collect that information, we’re at a disadvantage right now. We can’t use evidence to either support the anecdotal or to discredit those claims.”

If Sedillo Lopez’s memorial passes, Freeman plans to survey the county jails and state prisons on the race and ethnicity data collection practices. From there, she hopes to offer some suggestions on a uniform system for the whole state.

Carver, meanwhile, will examine how other states and the federal system are collecting the information to help inform a way forward in New Mexico.

“There might not be a best practice yet,” he said.

The Sentencing Commission staff and Sedillo Lopez already agree on one detail: for jails and prisons, people should report their own race and ethnicity rather than leaving that decision up to a booking officer.

“It would be far more accurate,” the senator said.

Another question looms: How far up the justice system stream should race and ethnicity data collection go?

For maximum transparency, Sedillo Lopez said gathering the information at the arrest and possibly even traffic stop levels would tell a more complete story.

But she has concerns about stereotyping and people’s privacy.

Freeman shares some of those concerns, but says the picture is incomplete if collection is limited to jails and prisons.

“A lot of the disparity we see in the system is in the informal contacts,” she said. “So only having race and ethnicity data for those on supervision or in correctional facilities is not ideal, but we can start to begin to analyze that data and see what it tells us about the racial composition of our prison population and our probation and parole population, but we really need to know earlier in the criminal justice process, because oftentimes, that’s where most of the bias probably happens.”

For now, that broad a net isn’t likely on the table—at least not legislatively.

“At a minimum, we need to know who’s in our jails and in our prisons,” Sedillo Lopez said. “I think this memorial is really important in getting us going in the right direction. Once you’ve done a study and you have a task force making a report and recommendations to the Legislature, it’s easier to get legislation passed.”

he nighttime sky as seen over Santa Fe, thick with clusters of stars and distant planets, spins slowly above Amanda Truitt. She controls the movement of the galaxy with a black remote in one hand and explains with the other which edges of the Milky Way New Mexicans can see on a moonless midnight.

It is 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

Truitt navigates the solar system with the click of a button at Santa Fe Community College’s planetarium.

She has been an adjunct faculty professor at the college since August, after leaving Los Alamos National Laboratory.

With a doctorate in astrophysics, Truitt teaches astronomy and is the planetarium coordinator for the school. She plans to open the planetarium more regularly and hold public events there, hoping to boost local interest in space—especially among girls and young women.

In class, she says she struggles a bit with how to broach the difficulties in an education and career in STEM—science, technology, engineering and math—for women. She believes her presence, a representation of what’s possible, might itself be the best advertisement.

Truitt tells girls at events: “You can do whatever you are interested in. Try not to let people discourage you from your curiosity because that’s all that science is: just finding something you’re passionate and curious about and following it. And you’re allowed to do that,” she says in the planetarium.

“But outside of those particular platforms sometimes it feels unwanted. That’s part of the problem of the male-dominated field.

You don’t necessarily want to talk about it too much and have negative attention drawn toward you.”

Despite recent strides in gender pay equity and an overall increase in women in STEM education and careers, a troubling fact remains for the industry and the nation: Not a single state has more women than men with STEM degrees. The gap is widest in New Mexico, where women have 22.5% fewer STEM bachelor’s degrees than men.

Further, the gulf has widened by 2.3% between 2015 and 2017, according to an analysis by Typing.com, which offers educational and computer science classes online. Its team analyzed data from the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey from 2015 to 2017 and looked at STEM gaps by degree, occupation and location.

New Mexico’s disparity has grown more than nearly any other state during

NM has the nation’s widest gender gap in STEM bachelor’s degrees, but girls and women here are narrowing it

that time period, trailing only Alaska, South Dakota and Montana.

Debjani Biswas, an engineer and CEO and founder of Coachieve, LLC, has given multiple lectures and penned op-eds on the gender and pay gap in STEM careers.

She attributes a lot of that nationwide gap to unconscious bias against girls and women and an assumption that females are simply not good at science and math.

“That’s why one of my TEDx Talks is called ‘But You Don’t Look Like An Engineer’ because, when I was 16 years old and I was in a classroom with 39 boys and continuously from when I graduated in my early 20s, that’s what I heard ... ‘you don’t look like an engineer,’” Biswas says.

Despite the educational gap, the statewide picture brightens at the professional level: New Mexico rank in the middle when it comes to women working in STEM jobs compared to men.

With organizations such as Girls, Inc. headquartered in downtown Santa Fe, to STEM Santa Fe, which holds workshops and events for girls, to Los Alamos National Lab, and increasing enrollment in the STEM programs at come colleges, there is a broad effort to hearten girls and young women around the state with dreams of careers in science.

Truitt always loved science, and her family encouraged that. At 14, she developed her fascination with space—because of her dad, a telescope and the stars above rural north Dallas, Texas.

“He bought us a telescope and we went out to a really dark spot, somewhere in Texas, and looked through the telescope at Mars when it was at one of its closest approaches in a really long time,” Truitt says. “It looked really big and awesome through the telescope and I was fascinat-

ed by that. … Then when I read Death by Black Hole in high school by Neil deGrasse Tyson, I was like, ‘This is awesome. I want to go to college for astrophysics.’”

So, she did.

But not every girl has that kind of experience and encouragement from friends, family, teachers or peers, especially not those who grow up in New Mexico. The state has notoriously struggled at the bottom of government and nonprofit lists ranking quality of education and child wellbeing.

“Throughout the state there is great disparity in the ability to provide STEM education in general,” says Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Veronica Garcia. “There is no real funding stream

statewide for technical infrastructure that is available for all districts.”

The New Mexico Public Education Department acknowledges there are serious shortages of teachers overall, including teachers with advanced knowledge in STEM fields, available for the state’s public schools. A lack of focus on improving basic math literacy as well as fewer resources being put toward rural and poorer school districts in the past has created the problem that New Mexico now faces—fewer women than men in STEM education and careers.

Step up for college STEM

Despite New Mexico’s struggles with education, it is a major employer for

Originally from Gallup, Chinana graduated from Capital High School. She knew she wanted to be an engineer in her sophomore year of high school, when she was still in Gallup. But life circumstances held her back. Despite teachers trying to push her, she didn’t believe until recently that her dreams were possible. “[My high school teachers] were like, ‘Here’s this program that you might be interested in’ and I would jump at that opportunity,” Chinana says. “But given that my mom and [family] were always at work, I never was able to take advantage

of it because I never had the ride, I never had anything.”

Two years ago, Chinana forged ahead anyway.

Signing up for classes at SFCC with her goal of becoming a mechanical or aeronautical engineer, she quickly stood out. At the end of last semester, she was invited to join the Core program. Now, she’s happy for more reasons than an earlier graduation date—she finally has the support she always needed.

scientists and researchers because of national laboratories in the state. It also attracts and helps create some of the nation’s most sought-after computer scientists and engineers from Northern New Mexico College and New Mexico Tech.

Other colleges are attempting to strengthen their STEM programs as well. This fall, SFCC put together its first cohort for a STEM Core program.

More than 30 colleges across the country have adopted STEM Core, but Santa Fe’s is the first of its kind in New Mexico.

Supported by Los Alamos National Lab and the National Science Foundation, the program is meant to make STEM career pathways more inclusive for both men and women and provide more rigorous work, a fast track for an associate’s degree and a higher potential for internships and employment at LANL. STEM Core recruits students who are ready to take either intermediate or college algebra and prepares them for calculus in two semesters. It also allows them to work in the same small groups all semester, and it provides special access to summer internship opportunities at LANL, monthly sessions on presentation and interviewing skills, tours of lab facilities and networking with managers and technical experts from the labs.

Ulianie Chinana, 21, eagerly took on STEM Core’s challenges. She sits next to her 18-year-old Core classmate, Erica Diaz, after an almost two-hour resume and cover letter workshop designed to help the students apply to internships and jobs at LANL.

have been so helpful to keep me in school,” Chinana says. “I guess you would say that this is my second family.”

Yet Chinana and Diaz both want to leave New Mexico after completing their bachelor’s degrees.

After moving through the public school system in their home state, neither is surprised at the statistics showing New Mexico’s dearth of women earning STEM bachelor’s degrees.

“There has always been a gap,” Diaz says matter of factly. “When I said I wanted to be an engineer, many people [said] ‘You’re female. Why are you going toward that degree?’ Women can do the same thing as men. You set your [own] limits.”

More and more New Mexican women seem to agree. At SFCC in the fall semester of 2015, 32% of STEM majors were women. That figure jumped to 37% in the 2019 fall semester, according to data provided by the college.

Northern New Mexico College has seen a more dramatic increase in women enrolled in STEM programs, not including nursing. In the fall semester of 2016, 38% of STEM majors were women. In fall 2019, 46% were women.

The University of New Mexico, conversely, saw an overall drop in women in its engineering college from 2015 through 2019, from 614 to 596. Hispanic female CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

enrollment increased slightly during that time period, but white and American Indian female attendance shrunk.

At UNM, many STEM majors saw slight decreases in female enrollment as well. Astrophysics, biology, chemistry and mathematics all saw dips, while biochemistry saw a slight increase, according to data provided by the university.

Left behind as children

Helen Wearing, associate professor at UNM in mathematics, statistics and biology, moved to New Mexico 12 years ago to take a faculty position. Wearing says she can have a larger impact at UNM than at other places because there are so many first-generation college students.

“In general in society we don’t encourage girls to show interest in math. … So that definitely shows up,” Wearing says about the students in her classes. “But I also see that in boys, too, and I think oftentimes it’s just lack of preparation in primary and secondary level of education here.”

Wearing’s analysis is widely shared.

Gwen Perea Warniment, deputy cabinet secretary for the state Public Education Department, was part of the bipartisan STEM Coalition Steering Committee in 2018 that commissioned a report that found of 29,000 students enrolled in public education in Pre-K in the state, just over 5,000 students went on to graudate from a four-year institution with a degree in six years or less. That’s just 17%.

The graduation rate for STEM degrees was even lower. Of those 5,000 students who graduated in 2016, the year the report examined, 1,700 students graduated with a STEM or STEM-H degree. (STEM-H degree includes nursing.) That’s only a third.

Warniment calls it “a huge gap” and attributes it to New Mexico’s severe teacher shortage, a switch in 2011 to teaching Common Core math, which Warniment describes as a “struggle” for most teachers, and widespread poverty and lack of education in many households across the state.

STEM Core students sit in on a special workshop designed to help them apply for internships and jobs at Los Alamos National Labs.

New Mexico’s children also have a very low proficiency for math—around 20% for both males and females, according to Warniment.

Warniment tells SFR that Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s administration will focus on improving basic understanding of math by building an updated plan for the state—which officials hope to roll out next summer—as well as improving professional development for STEM teachers.

“We have a pretty strong early literacy initiative and we have a literacy framework,” Warniment says. “There is nothing that’s equivalent in mathematics.”

PED also plans to improve computer science learning in public schools through the work of a newly created task force.

Members are meeting Oct. 11 to set a plan and vision for the state.

The third aspect of PED’s plan is to help districts understand New Mexico’s Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), which are “very complex,” Warniment says.

Some school districts across the state have been using the standards for “quite some time,” she says, “and some are not at all familiar with them.”

SFREPORTER.COM

NGSS is based on the latest scientific advances, including human-caused climate change, and the most updated principles of how students learn best.

According to Warniment, previous administrations have contributed to the growing STEM education gender gap by not prioritizing increasing STEM proficiency in lower grade levels so that New Mexicans can succeed in college.

The department’s lack of individualized attention and additional money for rural and poorer school districts to improve their teachers, curriculum and resources has also contributed to the current problem, Warniment says.

The women at the lab

Perched on the hill an hour above Santa Fe, the lab has slowly enticed more women to its halls.

During the Manhattan Project, 640 women worked at Los Alamos—about 11% of the total workforce. The first women began working in the lab in the early 1940s as overqualified “computers,” doing basic mathematical equations far below their skill and education level to support

the more advanced work reserved for male scientists.

Today, LANL is one of the biggest employers in New Mexico of scientists and researchers from both inside and outside the state. Of all of the employees at LANL, about 32% are women, according to statistics provided by the lab. Senior leadership is 31% women.

The majority of female representation is among undergraduate students, at 45%, and operations support staff at 36%. The departments with the smallest ratio of women are technical research staff at 22% and postdoctoral researchers at 24%.

But that minimal statistical progress from 11% women to 32% in roughly 70 years is not enough for Anna Llobet Megias, a 19-year physicist at Los Alamos.

Megias’ parents did not attend college.

She is the first in her family to earn a PhD and one of her consistent goals has been to pave the way for New Mexican girls to get interested in STEM. Three years ago she started the Summer Physics Camp for Young Women in Northern New Mexico, which lasts two weeks at Pojoaque Valley High School and

system, says Garcia. Despite that, the superintendent says that anecdotally, the district has seen an increase in girls in STEM programs and classes.

‘Rock the boat’

There is a lot more that public school districts across the country, and especially in New Mexico, could be doing to increase both the racial and gender diversity in STEM education and careers, according to Biswas, first and foremost being unconscious bias training (SFPS, for example, doesn’t do this training.).

There are also reasons that educators, politicians and industries should be pushing the same agenda—the health of the world, the economy and the climate, as well as innovation depend on diversity.

“We’re looking at climate change and global warming and cures to cancer,”

KATHERINE LEWIN

aims to inspire and challenge girls with STEM activities and role models. The girls are also paid and fed but go home in the evenings.

The camp’s insistence on inviting only female participants and role models is important to Megias. Last year, she brought in 60 female scientists and researchers to tell their personal stories to the girls so they could see that a career in STEM has no limitations.

“We got surveys at the beginning and at the end of the camp to see if their perceptions changed through the camp and all the statistics showed that their perceptions changed,” Megias tells SFR. “They are less fearful. They felt more empowered. They realized that there is a world out there of silent figures that might not be in the front covers of the newspapers that are women, that are working hard in STEM.” LANL is not the only one providing financial and experiencial support for New Mexican’s female scientists. STEM Santa Fe’s work in the public school system and its Oct. 5 STEM Pathways for Girls conference, which brought girls and young women from all over the state and pueblos to meet female scientists, is just one program operating in New Mexico.

Girls Inc. also offers programs immersing girls in nature and hands-on projects designed to encourage them in STEM subjects.

The Santa Fe Public School District has initiatives that serve small numbers of students each semester. At Capital High School, there are Career Technical Education Programs of Study, including the medical sciences and computers and information technology. Santa Fe High School offers engineering and computer science.

The district’s 21st century after-school programs also include some STEM activities that serve nearly 1,000 students in 14 low-income elementary and middle schools, including Girls Who Code.

However, there are no specific STEM classes for girls within the public school

Biswas says. “If we’re effectively saying that the decision-making is going to come from 50% of the population, common sense says that couldn’t one of these females who are not in STEM at the moment come up with the solution to plastic pollution or the solution to cancer? We are excluding a lot of females from STEM careers and by so doing we are reducing our chances of getting to the solutions that help everyone.”

Truitt, the SFCC planetarium coordinator, wants to make sure that no one is kept from being able to see the stars the way she and her students do.

Standing behind a control board, scrolling around Santa Fe’s night sky, she remembers some difficulties she has faced, first as a female STEM student and then in her professional career.

“There certainly have been times where I’ve felt discriminated [against], especially in my college classes,” Truitt says. “It felt isolating and a lot of the professors sometimes would assume I was auditing the class.”

She received her doctorate in astrophysics anyway. She doesn’t want other people, especially young women, to feel isolated or unwelcome in STEM classes.

For now, she will continue teaching—and is opening the planetarium to the public.

On Halloween night, she’s hosting several sessions of an event that looks into asteroids, black holes and more.

“I do try to support young kids and encouraging young girls especially to get into STEM,” Truitt says. “In New Mexico, in Texas, it’s not something that’s outrightly encouraged, and I feel that fear of ‘you don’t wanna rock the boat or piss people off.’ That’s probably why it hasn’t been encouraged. I want to try to help move in a more positive direction with that if I can.”

Amanda Truitt has plans to open up SFCC’s Planetarium to the public for special events starting on Halloween night.

MUSIC SAT/12 CHILL OUT We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again— Sacramento-based rapper Mr. P Chill is basically a legend. A political rhyme-spitter, producer and annual touring MC, the artist known to his friends as Bill Rhoten has been releasing music since 1992. And whereas he maintains a little bit of that old-school, West Coast aesthetic to his beats and vocal cadence, there’s a uniquely punk rock edge to the music. Mr. P Chill pulls inspiration from the headlines, from the world around him and from a lifetime embedded in hip-hop culture; it’s all very lo-fi and DIY, and there’s something satisfyingly angry about his turn at the mic. Find him on the upcoming Spaces & Places Tour stop in Madrid with fellow California MCs Cleen and Oscar Goldman. (ADV) Spaces & Places Tour: 9 pm Saturday Oct. 12. Free.

EVENT SAT/12

Fela Time As Fiesta Fela nears its 10th year, Kamajou Tadfor eyes the future “This will be the ninth Fiesta Fela,” founder and organizer Kamajou Tadfor tells SFR. “The community has embraced the event, people really come out—it’s my baby, it’s my duty to make it work.”

For the past eight years, Tadfor has made the festival named for beloved Nigerian musician Fela Kuti work.

Beginning as a small event at El Museo Cultural with a couple hundred visitors and growing into a large-scale outdoor happening at the Railyard Park with live music, workshops, food, art and more. This year, Tadfor says he wanted to focus on New Mexico performers, like Afrobeat act The Swank Brothers, African drumming from Agalu and Wassa Wassa and Albuquerque-based Haitian music act Racine Kreyol.

“I think I have proved that I can put a show together,” Tadfor says with a laugh, “and I’m excited about the whole program this year.”

This includes kid’s stuff, presentations on things like how to build a djembe from Agalu, painting and sculpting demonstrations and a lesson on African cook-

ing from Tadfor’s niece Ceci Tchakounte Tadfor, who recently published her first cookbook titled Ceci’s African Kitchen. The Jambo Hapa food truck is also scheduled to appear, as is Abo’s Caribbean Kitchen.

“It’s something I’ve created over a number of years, and we find that it works, so every year we try to bring in different artists to perform,” Tadfor says.

“We’re happy for Santa Fe encouraging us and supporting us all the time.”

Tadfor admits that the annual event comes with no shortage of work, and that money is always a concern, but Fiesta Fela picked up its nonprofit status this year. Given that it runs primarily on donations, that’s a great first step for its future sustainability.

“All we wanted was to celebrate Fela’s birthday,” Tadfor says, recalling the early years. “I think we do that. It’s very full, it’s very vibrant.”

Group Therapy & Thrift Shopping Album Concepts Sun Blood Stories at Ghost

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

T

rying to unpack and neatly describe Idaho-based Sun Blood Stories’ newly released album Haunt Yourself is a difficult task that can’t neatly be summed to a single genre.

While solidly indie rock, the album shares more in common with the claustrophobia and experimentation of OK Computer-era Radiohead than with Modest Mouse, even at the height of their weirdness powers. Blues riffs and psychedelic noise collages intermingle with ethereal vocals and reverb-heavy and hypnotic guitars, often in the same song, and while having such a wide palette would be a daunting task for any band, there is an effortlessness to the enormity of sound in Haunt Yourself.

I talked to band members Amber Pollard and Ben Kirby a few days before they set out on a West Coast tour that stops at Ghost on Wednesday Oct. 16 alongside locals Future Scars and up-and-comers The Blackout Pictures.

SFR: How do y’all manage to take all of these intensely different genres and put them into one cohesive package?

Ben Kirby: It’s all pretty collaborative, no one is writing one song. It starts where someone might have these words, or a feeling that we want to explore.

I noticed this album, there’s this feeling of unrelenting bleakness throughout. Was that intentional?

JENNY BOWLER

Amber Pollard: We pushed all of our

trauma into a giant pile, and then put it into the middle of the room, and had a thrift store of the parts. It wasn’t intentional, but we wanted to move through our trauma together.

MUSIC

songs that do well on the radio, and I think that’s worth a lot, but at the same time, it’s the story of a band. That to me is the best thing that you could hope for and to be: to be bigger than any one song or video or moment.

In the track “Fine Fine Fine,” you sing “No nostalgia, I’m glad that it’s done.” It almost feels like an ad hoc Viking funeral for Robbers & Cowards-era CWC. Is this a new beginning for the band moving forward?

Version 2.0

There’s an underlying menace to the sound design that’s evident, can you speak to that?

Cold War Kids’ Nathan Willett on the band’s new direction

AP: The music is a form of therapy for all of us. We’re not setting out to write songs that people are gonna like, because that’s the least important thing when we’re writing it. It’s about figuring out how to function in our normal life and not take our shit out on other people, and writing music helps us work through that.

What is the thing I should be expecting to see from Sun Blood Stories Live?

BK: We tend to play live in some fashion like the album. We don’t stop and talk in between songs.

AP: We’re bad at talking on stage, so we don’t do it. The show is pretty emotional, personal and loud as fuck. Usually after a show, we’re meeting new people, and we get to have all of these conversations about different experiences and memories brought out from the music. It’s kind of like a group therapy session.

SUN BLOOD STORIES WITH FUTURE SCARS AND THE BLACKOUT PICTURES 8 pm Wednesday Oct. 16. $5-$10.

Ghost, 2889 Trades West Road.

N

o matter what you might feel about the state of indie rock today, it’s impossible to deny that Long Beach, California’s Cold War Kids have carved an impressive niche for themselves. Merging early-aughts indie and blue-eyed soul with heartfelt piano ballads and pop melodies, the band has both defined the terms of the conversation around them and not succumbed to the pressure of being defined by those conventions.

Now, after 15 years and seven fulllength albums, Cold War Kids has announced a new addition to their catalog: an eight-song EP titled New Age Norms Volume 1, which includes the recently released “4th of July” and “Complainer,” both you’ve surely heard on the radio by now.

I spoke with singer Nathan Willett ahead of the Meow Wolf show about the tour, saying goodbye to nostalgia, and the new EP. SFR: How’s the tour prep going?

Nathan Willett: It’s going good. I’m excited. I always have a little bit of bittersweet feeling, leaving home and family and actually packing ... and all of that.

You’ve been at this for 15 years, which is a long time for any band—how do you keep things going for that long without getting burned out?

I think music is so funny in that way, even in what might be the worst of times, it’s the best thing that I could imagine doing. It’s such a gift to be in a place where we can look back on so much music that we’ve released and touring that we’ve done. We’ve had certain

That’s totally what it is. It’s almost a scrappy operation to get older and write about it. I almost feel a little nervous about that. When music is your whole identity, these songs are all moments in your life, so having a lot of them feels like you’re telling your story. We’re closer to that than we ever were. It’s very liberating.

This album seems lighter and more compact (at least sonically) than previous efforts.

Was that intentional?

I think we’re always building on the thing that came before, it’s definitely more compact and a dryer, more straightforward album in a lot of ways.

In the song “Complainer,” there’s this really cool juxtaposition between the personal in the verse, and the chorus, where it seems to turn to a direct political call to action, can you talk a bit about the two halves of the song and where the two meet?

The writing of this was the most self-aware I was. The song starts by saying ‘Do you really believe in magic?’ Like, are you really the person that thinks that change is even possible, are you even that idealistic? Are you the kind of person that follows up? And in the end, the last line is ‘You must really believe in magic.’ There’s this really redeeming thing, like ‘You seem like the person that’s really gonna follow up with those claims.’

You have gained a bit of a reputation as a lover of classic literature, was there anything in particular that you were reading during the creation of New Age Norms?

You know, that’s something I should have a prepared answer for, but I never do. Let’s see, I’ve been reading Among the Thugs, which is about English soccer hooligans. It’s one of my favorite books that I’ve ever read. I always have a copy of something by John Fante with me. The Elena Ferrante Neopolitan Novels as well.

Thanks so much for your time and I’m looking forward to the show!

I adore that city, and I’m excited to actually be playing there!

with Ida Kavafian

BERNARD MINDICH

Celebrated violinist and educator Ida Kavafian comes to Santa Fe this week to perform for the Santa Fe Symphony with the concerto Fire & Blood (4 pm Sunday Oct. 13, $22-$80. Lensic Performing Arts Center, 211 W San Francisco St., 988-1234), a piece composed by Michael Daugherty for Kavafian and inspired by Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry Murals and the works of Frida Kahlo.

Kavafian grew up in Detroit, which uniquely positions her to tackle the piece, one she premiered live and in recording form, and one she tells SFR excites and moves her each time she plays it. (Alex De Vore) I understand this piece was written for you and premiered by you. Can you speak to that?

Originally, somebody else was supposed to play it who was injured, and [Daugherty] was in the middle of writing the piece. The wonderful thing about the piece and me is that I grew up in Detroit, and we used to have these field trips to the [Detroit Institute of the Arts], and I’d head straight to the room with the murals and think, ‘I’ve never seen anything so amazing and beautiful.’ To play this piece, and the way [conductor] Guillermo [Figueroa] does it, which is fabulous, and to project those murals … I have to not look, because I would lose my place, but it’s a great experience to see those murals as you hear that music. That’s how the piece was born. It so perfectly depicts the Rivera murals, the life of Frida Kahlo, the rhythms that depict the scenes of the cars being created.

Is this a common occurrence these days within the world of classical and chamber music?

I think most artists can’t afford pieces to be written for them, but this is a collaboration of the Detroit Symphony; Michael was Composer in Residence.

I think a lot of times, the pieces are written with a performer in mind, and we worked together quite a bit, and I showed him what things were possible. Also interesting was that I did the editing of the violin part for publishing, and that was an interesting process.

Michael liked the way I played it and he wanted to be as detailed as possible with what I did so it could be played that way.

As a music educator, you’re often referred to as a pedagogue. Do you think that’s fair, and do you think it’s about intense personal standards, or some feeling of classical music stewardship?

It’s not necessarily a name I call myself, but I think it’s just a term that people use if you have a certain reputation as a teacher. I did come to teaching later on in my life, so it’s sort of the culmination of all that I’ve learned. I feel that I share a lot of what I learned from my teachers, who were amazing teachers, who historically go back to a lot of these composers who wrote for the violin; there’s a certain lineage, and I combine that with my own methods. I tell my students I’m trying to share with them what I learned. And I say ‘Whatever you do, you’ve got to do the same! You’ve got to share, because we don’t want these traditions to be lost.’

Reawakening Agnes Pelton at the New Mexico Museum of Art is an absolute must

BY ALEX DE VORE |

a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

COURTESY OF MICHAEL ROSENFELD GALLERY

s I strolled through the New Mexico Museum of Art (107 W Palace Ave.,476-5072) one recent afternoon, admiring the paintings of Agnes Pelton, I sheepishly admitted to Merry Scully, the head of curatorial affairs, that while I was pretty sure I knew Pelton’s name, I was not familiar with her work. A lesser-known, if not nearly lost, painter, Pelton is what we might call a modernist dark horse, and Scully very kindly let me off the hook, saying that not only did the work toil in relative obscurity before Pelton’s death in 1961—even if she was sorta-kinda getting some recognition in her desert community of Cathedral City, California—most people today only sorta-kinda know the name.

“In the mainstream art world, she had two strikes against her,” Scully tells SFR. “She was a female and on the West Coast— the people who stayed in the limelight and had more sustainable careers were often men and part of a more dominant East Coast modernism.”

To be fair, Pelton did show at 1913’s famous Armory Show, and was a member of the Transcendental Painting Group alongside other newly appreciated painters like Emil Bisttram. Nonetheless—most defer to figures in early American modernism like O’Keeffe; it’s been nearly 25 years since Pelton’s paintings have been shown the way current traveling show Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist is doing.

It’s a straight-up shame. As I perused works, starting from an early-career figurative piece of a woman and a bird and working my way through the 40 someodd others hung in semi-chronological order and growing more abstract by the moment, it hit me that my life had been missing something so wonderful. But then, even the show’s original curator, Gilbert Vicario of the Phoenix Museum of Art, admitted to artnet News earlier this year that he hadn’t been familiar with Pelton prior to his working there in 2015, describing his knowledge gap as “a little embarrassing.”

Agnes Pelton’s “Fires in Space.” You need to see this.

Amen, brother, but, like, thanks for getting it together to show everybody.

Because the longer I looked, the more I discovered and the more the show felt important, like a close call with a happy ending—and when I returned for the show’s official opening last Friday evening, it hit me all over again.

Pelton was born to American parents in 1881 Germany. It’s not clear why the family moved there, but Scully hypothesizes that it may have had something to do with her grandfather, a preacher, having an affair with a married woman. By the early 1900s, Pelton returned to the States, attended the Pratt Institute in New York City and

A&C

studied with, among others, Arthur Wesley Dow (who also taught O’Keeffe, by the way, who must have felt like a phantom to Pelton, always one step ahead) in Massachusetts. Pelton even visited Taos at the behest of Mabel Dodge Luhan in 1919, but, by 1931, moved to the deserts of California, where she doubled down on abstraction.

Encounters with Agni Yoga masters and the Russian mystic and philosopher Helena Blavatsky (founder of a pantheistic philosophical-religious movement called theosophy) and her husband appear to have opened her eyes to metaphysical and spiritual realms decades before such things were commonplace, and as Pelton evolved, the more representational works of her early career subsided and were replaced with a merging of hard-edged landmasses and soft-lined celestial bodies.

“I’m amazed at the trajectory of things that show up subtly in her work early on that become major parts of her compositional strategy later,” Scully says.

Pelton’s shading techniques and pigment selections became spiritual movements unto themselves. Take 1933’s “Fires in Space,” a sparse series of explosions in the sky. From a distance, they look simple, orange and yellow bursts like firecrackers popping on a field of darkness. But at the base of the explosions are tiny, carefully appointed dots and lines of blues and reds anchoring the fires to the black. Pelton included tons of details like this in her work. In 1934’s “Orbits,” for example, she portrays the movements of stars over a mountain with dotted lines representing their trajectory, 35 years before the moon landing and its lead-up spawned an American space obsession.

“I think she was a searcher,” Scully tells SFR. “I think she was a searcher for meaning.”

Desert Transcendentalist runs through Jan. 5. It next hits the Whitney in New York and then the Palm Springs Art Museum in 2020—the very same place Pelton’s last major exhibit showed.

La Choza Can one even complete a restaurant guide without mention of this storied and brilliant monument to New Mexican cuisine? The sister restaurant of Plaza-adjacent eatery The Shed, La Choza’s decades of existence have served it well, growing from a small house-like restaurant to an alwayspacked and freshly remodeled powerhouse with the huge margarita list, that famous chile and a few items—such as tamales and sopaipillas—its big sister doesn’t have. Meat eaters and vegetarians alike can find common ground at La Choza, from the vegetarian quesadilla on the appetizer list and meat-free enchiladas ($10-$14.25) to the stuffed sopaipillas complete with your choice of green chile chicken, red chile beef, red chile ground turkey ($10-$14.25) or whatever combination of those things your heart desires. Find also a stellar dessert menu featuring the world famous frozen mocha cake ($4), a long list of beers both local and not and an old world charm made possible by a commitment to all things Santa Fe from longtime owners, the Carswell family. When visitors ask where they should go to eat in Santa Fe to get the most authentic experience, this should be at the top of anyone’s list, as it should be when it’s time for locals to grab a bite. Make sure to get reservations for dinner and show up early for lunch—it’s first come-first served. (Alex De Vore)

The change in scenery is so abrupt, it’s almost like getting beamed up by Scotty. One moment, you’re immersed in the earthy adobe of Santa Fe, the next, you’re at Izanami, high in the verdant forests of what feels like Japan. This setting, and the spot-on culinary execution that chef Kiko Rodriguez and his team are known for, make Izanami an all-around favorite. The extensive sake list intrigues with zen-like names that translate to phrases such as “true mirror” and “wind of the woods,” and the menu is traditional Japanese izakaya with some Southwest flair.

Think elote ($8), Mexican corn salad, but with yuzu mayo and seven-spice shichimi togarashi.

Those who come expecting sushi used to be sorely disappointed but recently, when fresh fish is available, it has been making an appearance on the menu as a special. In addition to other special experiences, like wagyu beef ishiyaki (starting at $24 depending on your choice of beef) where diners cook thin slices of premium meat on a hot stone, there’s the omakase chef’s choice tasting menu ($79), six courses featuring fresh fish of the day—ahi tuna sashimi, avocado and daikon roll and Chilean sea bass and veggie ramen in a ginger-lemongrass coconut broth.

SMALL BITES

Apothecary Restaurant, art space, oxygen bar. Sanctuary spa.

Adventure. Apothecary is so very Santa Fe. You can walk in to take a load off and sip an elixir while sniffing pure oxygen in the rarefied air that is this downtown spot. You can order healthy entrees while kicking back on a couch. You can sit at the counter and peruse CBD oil offerings (available in food for $4 or $6). The whole place has a fantastically New Age soda fountain vibe. There’s plenty of room to wander on the menu, which begins with drink offerings like buttered chai elixir ($6) and earthy, tangy kava cocktails like the karavan ($9). Teas are mixed and designed to address specific emotions such as grief and love, or to revive your weary self or soothe your belly ($5-$6). The menu includes plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, and many dishes, from nachos ($13) and avocado toast ($10) to jackfruit frito pie ($14) or the bibimbap bowl ($16), can be supplemented with an assortment of proteins ($3-$8). The Om-mani Pad Thai ($14) is excellent, with mung bean noodles, sugar snap peas, crispy bell peppers and a tamarind almond sauce that elevates the dish. The dessert menu is modest but decadent, and if you can find the key lime pie ($10) with coconut cream, get it. And split it.

Inspired, indeed Don’t miss out on Chef Nath’s latest culinary popup

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

C

hef Kim Nath Nou So, who goes simply by Chef Nath, is a bit of a superstar in our little food world.

The five-time Souper Bowl champ and popular caterer behind Nath’s Inspired Khmer Cuisine (chefnath.com) has long been celebrated for her fresh and creative meals featuring the flavors of her native Cambodia. But what people really love her for, beyond the beautiful dishes, is the absolute joy she brings to cooking, which can be experienced at an ongoing weekly pop-up at BODY of Santa Fe through October.

On Saturday nights, diners have the opportunity to pull up a chair for an organic, vegetarian meal with Nath. Of the two nightly seatings, 5:30 and 8:00 pm, I recommend choosing the earlier one to be sure you’ll have access to the whole menu.

Just a note here: I ate at an August version of the pop-up which featured a prix-fixe menu with two options for a starter and main; the new pop-up series is a la carte and features an expanded menu, and while I have yet to eat my way through it, rest assured I will.

On the night I attended with friends, we chose the later seating and discovered half the prix-fixe menu had already been eaten through. This wasn’t too upsetting as I had a feeling I would be happy with pretty much anything the gregarious chef put in front of me. For starters, the options were fresh vegetarian spring rolls, which were sold out, and a fermented tea leaf salad ($12). Nath was upset that

she had run out of the rolls and invited us over to her house the next day so she could make us some. I had heard she is as generous as she is talented and the invite proved that to be true.

We assured her we had been fine with the salad and, honestly, I was overjoyed because I probably would have ordered the spring rolls and missed out on one of the best salads of my life. Made of fermented tea leaves tossed with goji berries, Napa cabbage, romaine lettuce, carrots, grape tomatoes and sunflower sprouts, it was crunchy and fresh and packed with flavor. Having never tasted fermented tea leaves, I couldn’t tell if the richness of flavor came from those or from the sesame vinaigrette (with a squeeze of lime). Sweet, sour, salty, crunchy … this salad had it all. Sorry, fresh rolls—move along.

“I’m still experimenting with and learning about cooking only plantbased dishes,” Nath shyly admitted. If that salad was

Fermented tea leaf salad and vegetable green curry from Chef Nath, whose pop-ups at BODY of Santa Fe are turning heads.

“still learning,” then we have a lot to look forward to.

Our next choice of course was between pad thai or green curry. Again, the early birds had made quick work of one option, so green curry ($20) was on our menu. As we waited, Nath arrived at the table with what little of the remaining pad thai she had on hand.

“For sharing,” she said.

It was great to have a taste of the Thai standard; her take was as original as ever.

Instead of being immersed in the tamarind-based sauce, Nath’s noodles were lightly coated in it, almost dry, but sticky enough to attract a pleasing amount of peanut crumbs.

FOOD

The green curry arrived and, again, no one was upset about not having a choice.

The large bowl of mild curry was studded with pineapple, squash, green beans, bell peppers and sweet Thai basil. The curry was rich but not overpowering, the broth just thick enough to soak into the kernels of rice served on the side. I have to say, cooked pineapple is not usually a thing for me, but after tasting its sweetness with the slow spice of curry, cooked pineapple has since become a thing for me.

If you can’t make it to one of Chef Nath’s Saturday popups, she stocks BODY’s deli case (available 8:30am-7pm) with organic vegan Thai dishes. The day after I heard this, I was there, standing in front of the to-go case and once again kicking myself for letting the early birds take their pick. It appeared there were a variety of choices but, as I arrived after the lunch rush, all that was left was pad thai ($10.95) and fresh rolls ($6.95). What luck! The two things I had missed out on were now in my hands!

Mind you, though these are made fresh, after sitting in a fridge case and then being mangled by my own hands, Nath’s fresh-made foods obviously outdo them. But they were still delicious. The fresh rolls of thin rice paper snuggled around a surprising package of most mostly greens and carrots, less noodles, were light and refreshing. The pad thai concon tainer looked small but as I picked it up it laid heavy in my hand. Once home, I poured the contents into a hot frying pan and was shocked to see how much goodgood ness had been packed in: rice noodles, broccoli, snap peas, greens and tofu– easily enough to feed two. Or one, in my case, because when it comes to anything Chef Nath makes, I’m not sharing.

Well, we finally made it. The long awaited Joker movie has arrived in cinemas, a modestly budgeted “superhero” movie that has exhaustingly made waves in the press over the last few months. How is it, you ask? Expect a whole lot of pseudo-psychology and grandiose visuals that have little-to-nothing to offer its supposed character-driven cinema.

Is it a surprise at this point that Joaquin Phoenix gives another incredible performance?

The man is reaching Daniel Day-Lewis/Gary Oldman levels of craft, and this is arguably more his movie than it is Director Todd Phillips’ (The Hangover). To his credit, Phoenix’s Arthur is fascinating to follow, and Robert De Niro deserves a mention as talk show host Murray Franklin. It’s remarkable how comfortable he comes off while Phillip’s King of Comedy references remind you how good that movie was.

But what continually keeps Joker from reaching the greatness it teased during pro-

motion is within its narrative structure. We’ve seen the plot points a million times before with films like Phoenix’s You Were Never Really Here, though that was leaps and bounds better.

It’s also obvious that through the edgy dreck, a true auteur would have relished an opportunity to explore real psychopathy on screen. Point is, Joker is a Todd Phillips film, the director of gems such as Road Trip and Old School, and his run-of-the-mill, vapid-bro tendencies shine through the veneer of this one. In fact, outside of the stunning partnership between the production design and cinematography, it’s hard to compliment anything else; even Atlanta’s Zazie Beetz as a love interest of sorts is forgettable.

Regardless of all the complaints, Joker remains a tremendous reach for DC Films and Warner Bros, and that willingness to think outside the box should be viewed as a partial success. When the market is loaded with cardboard cutout characters in fake-looking outfits, staring off into space when not engaging in a massive CGI battle, at least we have something different here. If this movie proves to be a success, maybe it’ll allow someone down the line to make a wholeheartedly good piece of cinema in the comic book genre.

+ FASCINATING; SUPERBLY CRAFTED - YOU REALLY HAVE TO LIKE ALIEN TO CARE

1979’s Alien sat at the intersection of so many literary, mythical, artistic and cinematic storytelling devices that it almost seemed more destined to fail than become what it did. In the aftermath of Star Wars‘ feel-good yet simplistic light-versus-dark filmmaking landscape, it’s honestly surprising it was made at all, but with writer Dan O’Bannon, director Ridley Scott and artist HR Giger coming together in a perfect storm of the strange, the terrifying and the downright Lovecraftian, Alien worked and captured the minds of generations. To this day, it is still dissected, discussed and touted as one of the greatest sci-fi accomplishments in modern film.

Documentarian Alexandre O Philippe (78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene) dives deep into the film, beginning with its comic book and ’50s sci-fi inspirations, traveling throughout the anatomy of our fears and conducting interviews with historians, TV hosts, film experts and academics; the still-living members of the

original Alien team, O’Bannon’s widow, actors, set designers and others. What emerges is the most complete look at the history, impact and enduring legacy of Alien, and it is utterly fascinating.

We learn of the close calls that almost led to ruin, the bumbling studio execs who didn’t understand the heavy-hitter they were meddling with, of O’Bannon’s connection to the never-made Jodorowsky Dune and the ways in which certain stories can never be forgotten, but they can be retold in newer ways. Philippe is painstaking in his considerations, seemingly anticipating every angle that might be of interest to fans and film buffs, from Lovecraft’s insistence that the unknown and unknowable are the scariest ingredients, to Greek and Egyptian mythology’s sway on O’Bannon’s narrative; the connection to Francis Bacon to the sexual strangeness and vital importance of Giger’s artistry; the subtle nods to the dangers of imperialism and colonialism. We see editing, cinematography, seemingly insignificant set design touches, sound design and even would-be non-sensical moments explained by the crew who seem to harbor the same levels of admiration as fans do, and it almost begins to feel like we’re in on something, like CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Don’t Break Down thus becomes required viewing for the punk rock elite, the poseurs and those who still believe poetry can come with distorted guitars and raspy voices. For old-timers, it’s a feeling that we’re still part of a community; for newcomers, it’s a lesson in a brief window in the ’90s when everyone wanted to be punk. For everyone else, it’s a solid music documentary with a subtle lesson: Keep passing the open windows.

This is documentary filmmaking at its finest, a little bit of adulation and a whole lot of research—the kind of thing that takes something you thought you knew and divulges its deepest secrets.

+ JAWBREAKER RULES; INTERESTING MUSIC HISTORY

- LIGHT ON NON-BAND INTERVIEWS

It ended with a fistfight by the side of the road as Jawbreaker bassist Chris Bauermeister lunged at singer/guitarist Blake Schwarzenbach during mounting inter-band tensions. Years of relentless touring, cross-country moves and going major label had exhausted the trio and made them pariahs of the punk rock world, and with sales of their final album Dear You tanking, it was over.

Fast-forward 20 years, and filmmakers Tim

Irwin and Keith Schieron (of the Minutemen doc We Jam Econo) present an in-depth look at the forming of Jawbreaker, the subsequent years rising to fame and the pressure-filled descent into obscurity—outside of most punks, that is— until the second life of Dear You some years later and, eventually, Bauermeister, Schwarzenbach and drummer Adam Pfahler’s unexpected 2017 Riot Fest reuinion.

Don’t Break Down was actually released in 2017, but a new deal with a wider release finds it on streaming services such as Amazon Prime for the first time. For longtime fans, it’s a blessing, a strange journey of art school weirdos, battling egos and punk rock ethics as told by the band, their contemporaries, and those they inspired like Smoking Popes’ Josh Caterer and Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong. We even hear from famed producer Steve Albini, though it’s possible he thought he was working with the band Jawbox the entire time.

Mistaken identity, politics and hurt feelings aside, it’s a deeply fascinating look at the missing link of punk, a band that inspired countless acts—who should have made it, and came so close, but that was never fully appreciated in their own time by the masses. As one interview subject implies in the film, while many looked to Green Day as the bridge between punk and the

+ ZELLWEGER GETS THERE ONCE OR TWICE

- FEELS HOLLOW AND MANIPULATIVE

They don’t really make them like Judy Garland anymore, but that’s a good thing—”they” are the monstrous studios that treated their actors like cattle; “they” are the ravenous audiences who acted like they could lay claim to the movie stars.

Based on the Peter Quilter play The End of the Rainbow, new biopic Judy finds Renée Zellweger as Garland during the last stage of her life as she embarked upon a series of shows in London, circa 1968. With several failed marriages, one Liza Minnelli and a couple of younger kids in the wings, a homeless Garland is all but forced to tackle the run to make a few bucks so she can be closer to her children, but she’s running on the last failing fumes of her falling star and has become a ball of nerves and anxiety.

Certainly the stories of her studio upbringing are almost as legendary as Garland herself; how Louis B Mayer practically tortured Garland as a teen, rarely letting her eat, putting her on a regimen of pills for weight and energy and consistently threatening to take the stardom away. We see some of this, a little bit of Mayer backlit to portray evil, looming and towering over the young Garland (Darci Shaw) as he manipulates her. But then it’s back to 1960s Judy post-haste, and no supply of Zellweger sulking in bathrooms and cracking wise to doctors about how four ex-husbands didn’t cure her depression can make us feel for her. Instead, it almost feels lazy, like the whole of an iconic woman’s existence distilled into too much drinking and a bunch of embarrassing snafus onstage and off to prove how hard her life was. We were already there, frankly, but rarely does this version of Garland make her feel like a human person, even when she literally announces she is. So it’s really more like summoning pity than empathy.

Judy starts to lag, which is a shame as all

American Factory comes to you from the Obamas. the ingredients are right there for something wonderful. But between the poorly explained relationships, like American Horror Story‘s Finn Wittrock as Garland’s final husband Mickey Deans or a pair of gay men whose scenes feel tacked on by some exec who figured they needed a brief mention of gayness to check some arbitrary box, and all the underdeveloped side characters, the pacing becomes downright bizarre and repetitive. “Will she get onstage?” we wonder to ourselves again and again before realizing we don’t actually give a shit since nobody bothered to make it worth our time.

You’ll definitely be hearing about Zellweger come awards season as her performance does approach sensational a number of times. But for a better (and weirdly similar) biopic, try the far superior Stan & Ollie from last year. (ADV)

A woman worked for GM for decades; at Fuyao, she earns less than half her former wage. An older worker who wears a pro-union headband is tasked to complete a two-person job and later fired. On a trip to a sister factory, Americans see first-hand why Chinese colleagues say things like “lazy,” “slow,” and “fat fingers.”

The cultural clash left us pondering big questions, peeling back the layers and feeling grateful for our pampered lives.

- CREEPY CHINESE CORPORATE SINGING

As banks, schools and government offices closed in observance of Labor Day, lots of people here used the holiday to stock the freezer with bags of green chile—many of them, we bet, didn’t think much about the labor movement that led to not just the weekend, but all kinds of safety and fairness rules that we take for granted. Not so with those who used the time off to catch up on the Netflix streaming release of American Factory, the first film from Higher Ground, the production company founded by Barack and Michelle Obama.

The opening narrative of the documentary had us thinking this was going to be the story of the triumphant return of manufacturing to middle America, but by the time the lights come back on at the auto glass plant that Chinese giant Fuyao reopens in a shuttered Dayton, Ohio, GM factory, we’re hooked on the powerful conflict at hand.

The complexities of what it means, and how it works, for Chinese managers and line workers to train US counterparts and for a business here to strive to get the same “efficiency” as its cohorts overseas make for a provocative exploration. Amazing backroom and under-the-breath access leaves little room to guess about motivations, and as

HONEY BOY was trapped as a feral cat with the intention of releasing him back to his area after he was neutered.

Once in our care, we quickly realized his was a social, loving boy that needed our help finding a forever home. HONEY BOY loves human attention.

He would do fine as an only cat, but would also benefit from another young cat to play and grow up with. He also may tolerate a cat friendly dog. He is approximately 1 1/2 years old.

LUCKY JAKE is indeed very lucky. He survived several accidents while living on a rural property, including one that resulted in the loss of his eye. He also required extensive surgery by Dr. Gruda to repair a broken front leg. LUCKY JAKE is shy at first, but once he knows he is safe, he is very affectionate and playful. He would prefer a home with no dogs and no children, but may tolerate a gentle female cat. He is approximately 2 1/2 years old.

Mocha is an 11 year old Tortie mix who came into our shelter as an owner surrender.

She is a sweet girl and weighs 14 pounds which we think is a good weight for her.

Come in and meet Mocha today!

Mocha’s adoption is fee waived thanks to a guardian angel! She is spayed, microchipped and comes with age appropriate vaccines.

30 days of complimentary pet insurance is included.

Biggie is a 75 pound mixed breed brought into the shelter because his owner could no longer care for him. They told us Biggie is about 6 years old so he should be done growing but looking at his frame we think he might fill out a bit and pick up 5-10 pounds once he gets properly spoiled. So far in the shelter Biggie has been great with staff and a regular participant in our dog playgroups. Biggie’s adoption fee is fee waived sponsored by Backroad. He is neutered.

ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of October 9th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself,” wrote poet André Breton. I think that’s an excellent principle to put at the top of your priority list in the coming weeks, Aries. To be in maximum alignment with cosmic rhythms, you should seek input from allies who’ll offer insights about you that are outside your current conceptions of yourself. You might even be daring enough to place yourself in the paths of strangers, acquaintances, animals, and teachers who can provide novel reflections. There’s just one caveat: Stay away from people who might be inclined to fling negative feedback.

how do you boost your excitement and motivation for those essential actions you do on a regular basis? Here’s a good place to begin: visualize in exuberant detail all the reasons you started doing them in the first place.

and say that there aren’t any more barbarians.” I propose that we use this scene as a metaphor for your life right now, Taurus. It’s quite possible that the perceived threat isn’t really a threat. So here’s my question, taken from near the end of the poem: “What are we going to do now without the barbarians?”

guessing that you Scorpios have been in a phase when these descriptions are highly apropos. The work you’ve been doing may look productive and interesting and heroic to the casual observer, and maybe only you know how arduous and exacting it has been. So now what do you do? I say it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your efforts. Celebrate! Give yourself a thrilling gift.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I hope you are embarking on a vigorous new phase of self-redefinition. I trust you are excited about shedding old ways of thinking about yourself and eager to revise and re-imagine the plot of your life story. As you do, keep in mind this helpful counsel from physicist Richard Feynman: “You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.”

DR. JOANNA CORTI, DOM, Powerful Medicine, Powerful Results. Homeopathy, Acupuncture. Micro-current TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Constantine P. Cavafy’s (Acupuncture without neepoem “Waiting for the Barbarians” imagines the imminent arrival of an unpredictable agent of chaos. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’ve probably heard dles.)

Sixteenth-century artist are in disarray. Faces look worried. What’s going to Worker’s Compensation and Michelangelo expressed a similar idea. “If you knew happen? But the poem has a surprise ending. “It is Auto Accidents Insurance night, and the barbarians haven’t come,” reports the how much labor went into it, you would not call it accepted 505-501-0439 narrator. “Some people have arrived from the frontier genius,” he said about one of his masterpieces. I’m

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Some folklorists prefer the term “wonder tales” rather than “fairy tales.” Indeed, many such stories are filled with marvelous events that feature magical transformations, talking animals, and mythical creatures like elves and dragons and unicorns. I bring this up, Gemini, because I want to encourage you to read some wonder tales. Hopefully, as you do, you’ll be inspired to re-imagine your life as a wonder tale; you’ll reframe the events of the “real world” around you as being elements in a richly entertaining wonder tale. Why do I recommend this?

Because wonder tales are like waking dreams that reveal the wishes and curiosities and fascinations of your deep psyche. And I think you will benefit profoundly in the coming weeks from consciously tuning in to those wishes and curiosities and fascinations.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you,” declared astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson. If that’s even a little bit true, I bet you won’t believe it in the coming weeks. According to my analysis, the universe will make a great deal of sense to you—at times even exquisite, beautiful, breathtaking sense. Life will be in a revelatory and articulate mood. The evocative clues coming your way about the nature of reality could tempt you to believe that there is indeed a coherent plan and meaning to your personal destiny.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 2005, Facebook was a start-up company barely on the map of the internet. Its president asked graffiti artist David Choe to paint murals on the walls of its headquarters. Choe asked for CANCER (June 21-July 22): I suspect that in the com- $60,000, but the president convinced him to be paid ing days you’ll be able to see into everyone’s souls with Facebook stock instead.

My conclusion: Be willing to consider you to discern what’s often hidden. This upgrade in smart gambles when projects are germinating. your perception may at times be unsettling. For some of the people you behold, the difference between how AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “Experiment is the sole they present themselves and who they actually are will source of truth,” wrote philosopher and polymath Henri Poincaré. “It alone can teach us something new; be dramatic. But for the most part, penetrating to the it alone can give us certainty.” He wasn’t merely referdepths should be fun, enriching, even healing. ring to the kinds of experiments that scientists conLEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “This heart is rusty,” writes duct in laboratories.
