DAN PAVA SUSTAINABLE SANTA FE COMMISSION

“TAKE ME HOME, COUNTY CODES”

REALITIES ON THE GROUND The first and ultimate test of sustainability must be legality. Matt Grubs’ article is important reading for all of us who want to foster sustainability in Santa Fe County and within the city limits as well. ... Being a graduate of the UNM School of Community and Regional Planning and a resident of Northern New Mexico for 35 years, I have come to appreciate Territorial Governor Lew Wallace’s maxim, “All calculations based on experience elsewhere fail in New Mexico.”

Whether we are adopting a subdivision or zoning ordinance, or a sustainable land development code, it is imperative that it be implemented in a realistic, fair, equitable and consistent manner. In the Santa Fe area, there are many private roads serving small subdivisions. It is an artifact of land ownership and subdivision unique to this area. When a citizen/property owner requests a permit to modify their home, it is reasonable to request a proportionate improvement to these private roads. After all, you don’t get what you don’t pay for. There is a difference between a garage addition and constructing several new homes.

The key here is that there be a request that is fair (proportionate) and consistent with the adopted policy. ...

There will always be a creative tension balancing the rights of the individual and those of the commons. Sustainability codes must be implemented in a way that does not create a taking, provides just compensation if warranted, and is proportional to the request. In each case for permit review, we must ask if there is an “essential nexus” between the permit conditions and legitimate state interest, and whether or not the degree of the exactions required

“THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT” The New Mexico Public Education Department is refusing to answer who or what is behind the push to lower scientific standards for students of public education in this failed state of New Mexico. ...

The age of this glorious creation, Planet Earth, is not 6,000 years, like it states in the Bible. Thanks to science and carbon dating, it’s estimated to be around 4.5 billion years old!

Here in the reality-based community, in just the last 65 short years in that massive span of time, the human population has exploded from 2 to 7 billion. How could this not impact the planet, species, resources, and yeah, its climate? Mother Nature is intricately connected.

Also for the pro-life people in New Mexico, where the Medicaid birth rate is nearly 75 percent, isn’t family planning and subsidized contraception far cheaper than welfare and food stamps for life?

There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge” (Isaac Asimov).

Pass It On New Mexico is creating a pipeline to distribute over $1 million worth of naloxone and opioidaddiction services

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

O

ver the next year, New Mexico plans to spend at least $1.73 million, a mix of federal grants and state general funds, to comply with a state law mandating the distribution of the opioid antagonist naloxone and education to treatment centers, law enforcement, corrections officials and elsewhere.

The law, which Governor Susana Martinez signed into existence in April, is supposed to broaden the state’s effort to curb opioid abuse. The funding came partially as a result of behind-the-scenes persuasions by a pharmaceutical company that manufactures a nasal-spray naloxone formula called Narcan, emailed correspondence obtained by SFR shows.

Last September, half a year before lawmakers introduced the naloxone bill in the state House, a representative from the company Adapt Pharma, which is the only manufacturer of FDA-approved intranasal naloxone, contacted officials from the state’s Human Services Department to discuss purchasing the emergency overdose medication.

Adapt Pharma is a private company that releases little information to the public, but it has also won lucrative contracts elsewhere, including a $14.8 million exclusive deal with New York City and state, signed last week.

The emails indicate that Adapt Pharma representative Theresa Baillie met in January with Karen Cheman, the prevention director at the behavioral health services division of the Human Services Department, to discuss how Narcan could figure into a federal grant for New Mexico to confront its opioid epidemic.

In later communications, Cheman cites the state’s status as “number one, two or three in opioid overdose deaths from the early 1990s until 2015” as the reason her department was interested in purchasing large quantities of Narcan from Adapt Pharma.

The $1.73 million for fiscal year 2018, which was approved by the Human Services Department and the Tax and Revenue Department in early July, is broadly broken down into two areas.

An initial $536,570 will finance the HSD Office of Peer Recovery and Engagement’s plan to create regional wellness and recovery centers, develop agencies that provide opioid addiction recovery services and expand the number of people who are properly trained in responding to opioid addiction and overdose, including the administration of Narcan.

AN

The goal of training a larger number of people in addiction and overdose response is to expand the number of agencies across the state offering medication-assisted treatment to people with opioid use disorder. Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, relies on a mix of pharmaceuticals like methadone and buprenorphine (Suboxone) as well as more traditional therapeutic approaches, such as a 12-step program, to treat a person’s addiction.

One million dollars in federal funds was also set aside to purchase thousands of Narcan kits at $75 per kit and training modules for MAT services in the state.

Every kit comes with two single-use spray

devices that each carry 4 milligrams of Narcan. One spray is generally enough to curtail the most severe consequences of an overdose, but not always.

The remaining $194,258 would pay for training programs and special projects housed in HSD’s behavioral health services division, initiate a new agency called Recovery Communities of New Mexico to plan and implement MAT peer trainings alongside the Office of Peer Recovery and Engagement, and launch a MAT-qualified treatment hub that will serve Mora, San Miguel and Guadalupe counties.

An additional $440,196 in state general funds apart from the $1.73 million is earmarked to finance a pilot program to supply Narcan to people being released from jail in nine counties, including Chaves, Colfax, Luna, Rio Arriba, Roosevelt, San Juan, Sandoval, Sierra and Taos.

Bernie Lieving, the overdose prevention coordinator for the Santa Fe Prevention Alliance, is a one-man connector of local and state efforts to stem New Mexico’s opioid crisis. He is currently under contract with the Human Services Department to distribute Narcan orders to treatment centers, public officials and communities across the state, and provide them with education on opioid addiction and treatment.

“All the peer-reviewed evidence in professional journals shows that distribution of naloxone does not increase at-risk behaviors; in fact, it decreases risky behaviors,” Lieving tells SFR. “When someone says we’re enabling people, I say yes, we’re enabling them to stay alive.”

The state’s latest effort to distribute Narcan and expand training is based on

a pilot program initiated last year

by Santa Fe County Community Pre Services Department and the Prevention Alliance headed up by Lieving. As part of that program, the county gave the Prevention Alliance $100,000 for Narcan distribution and education.

An initial round of Narcan kits to first responders in the county, including police and the fire department, but the first seri serious effort to put Narcan in the hands of citizens came about through an agreement between the Alliance and Santa Fe Public Schools. Liev Lieving says he provided training on how to administer it for school nurses and teachers.

“We already had contacts with the schools, and thought they might be willing to allow [Lieving] to actually distribute the Narcan [to them],” says Kyra Ochoa, the health care assistance program man manager at the county’s Community Services Department. “It was a bit of a bold move to approach them and ask them, and it was a bold move on their part to agree.”

The county financed the program from May of last year to March of this year, with $85,000 of the $100,000 earmarked for the purchase of Narcan. In that time, Lieving says he handed out 628 kits and trained 489 people on how to administer it, and recorded 27 resuscitations as a re result of its use.

In addition to law enforcement and school officials, Lieving gave out Narcan and provided training to recovery centers and homeless shelters throughout the county, and even did a presentation at Meow Wolf. The county still partially finances the distribution of Narcan to first responders through its emergency medical services budget, but most of the kits will now come from the state.

“We started the project here, and now it’s become institutionalized to some degree [at the state level],” says Rachel O’Connor, director of the county’s Community Services Department.

Keith Humphreys, a professor of psychiatry at Stanford University and a former drug policy advisor in the Obama administration, praised New Mexico’s efforts to distribute naloxone as innovative but cautioned against viewing Narcan as a silver bullet.

“Both naloxone and treatment, as important as they are, will never be a solution by themselves,” Humphreys says.

“Good treatment gets people on the path to recovery and health, either with medications or without, gets them back in their jobs, helps them with family responsibilities—that’s good treatment.”

Altered State Standards

NEW MEXICO PBS

NEWS

Why the woman in charge of New Mexico’s science standards decided to quit 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

T

he last straw for Lesley Galyas at the Public Education Department was when someone—she’s kind enough not to say who—wanted to get rid of selective breeding in the new science standards because it was the same as human cloning.

“I said to them, ‘Do you eat seedless watermelon?’ And the person said, ‘Oh yeah. Of course I do.’ Well, that’s selective breeding,” Galyas recalled. “Have you seen a Labradoodle? ‘Yes.’ Well, that’s selective breeding. It has nothing do with human cloning.”

“Well,” Galyas says the person replied, “people are going to think it does.”

Driving to Santa Fe from Carlsbad on Saturday, Lesley Galyas still hadn’t decided what she should say. The science teacher knew she’d have just three minutes to publicly speak her mind about proposed new science standards to a panel of Public Education Department employees. She wanted those minutes to count.

“I’m actually still mulling over it,” she told SFR by phone on her way to the state capital. “I’m very vested in it.”

That’s an understatement.

Her story is the most inside version of events the public is likely to get before Education Secretary Christopher Ruszkowski, who has offered little reasoning for the proposed changes, formalizes his decision in the coming weeks.

One year ago, Galyas wrote her final version of the state’s new science standards before she quit her position at the Public Education Department. She was the Math and Science Bureau director. It was all she could stomach.

“I was the only one in the building who understood the standards,” she said. “And then I had to report to my superiors and they would say, ‘Nope, you didn’t take enough out.’” Among other things, she was told to get rid of language referencing the age of the Earth and to alter references to human-caused climate change and evolution.

The bottom line for Galyas was simple: “I didn’t want my name on something that isn’t what it’s meant to be.”

Galyas had been tasked by her superiors, and thus then-Secretary Hanna Skandera, to change the Next Generation Science Standards before New Mexico would put them in place. Developed by a consortium of educators and scientists from 26 states as well as three national science organizations, the Next Gen standards are a huge leap forward in how students are taught science. The standards lean on the latest research about how kids learn and have been endorsed by a host of educational experts and scientists.

I did tell Christopher that he may be making all the politicians happy, but the teachers and the scientists are going to raise hell.

-Lesley Galyas, former PED Math and Science Bureau director

A hand-picked panel of experts known as the Math and Science Advisory Council had recommended that New Mexico adopt unaltered standards as far back as 2013. An 85-member focus group convened by the department in 2015 came to the same conclusion. But the standards sat on the shelf, unadopted, while six out of every 10 New Mexico high school juniors failed proficiency tests (Cover: “Sanitized Science,” March 29).

Galyas, who had shepherded the standards through their initial vetting, said leadership wasn’t interested in moving

Lesley Galyas says higher-ups at the Public Education Department weren’t interested in what was in the Next Generation Science Standards, only in what they could leave out.

forward. She began to sense the brewing controversy and the political nature of what she was expected to do. “It was very difficult because I worked on it for four years and it was always like, ‘We’re going to do it after the [legislative] session, or after the election.’ And then it would be forgotten.”

The department—to which Skandera’s successor, Ruszkowski, had arrived as a deputy before Galyas left—just didn’t seem to be interested in updating its standards until they could be sanitized. She was frustrated that no one at the department went to in-state training on the Next Gen standards.

“And they wouldn’t really even let me go through it with them,” she said. “They weren’t concerned about what [the Next Gen standards] were; they were concerned about what shouldn’t be in there.

At one point, I did tell Christopher that he may be making all the politicians happy, but the teachers and the scientists are going to raise hell.”

She was right.

Since the proposed standards were released last month, there’s been an onslaught of attention, almost all of it negative. At a teach-in outside the PED offices last week, retired anthropology professor Marquisa LaVelle joined scientific colleagues in discussing some of the subjects altered or abandoned by the proposed standards.

“I was often asked whether I believe in evolution,” she said of her teaching career.

She did not, she said, because she didn’t have to. “I feel the same way about gravity.

I feel the same way about my refrigerator.

I feel the same way about my car and some of my books. Do I believe in my iPad?”

When hundreds of scientists, parents, teachers and students gathered at the PED Monday morning for the lone public hearing on the standards, Ruszkowski wasn’t there. He wouldn’t have heard any encouragement. Not a single person rose to speak in favor of the proposed changes.

Since the middle of September, SFR has made four requests to speak with Ruszkowski about the standards, how they were reached, why previous recommendations weren’t heeded and who was consulted by the department before deciding on the proposed changes.

PED spokeswoman Lida Alikhani, whose $75,000 salary is paid by taxpayers, has not acknowledged those requests. Late Monday, she sent a statement that did not address any of SFR’s questions. Without the chance to question Ruszkowski about the department’s decision or even the opportunity to clarify its meaning, SFR will not print his statement.

When Lesley Galyas got her three minutes in front of her former colleagues Monday, she told them how she was overwhelmed when she arrived in New Mexico by the opportunities to teach science— the fossil record, the geology, the Mars Rover work at the national labs. She found it remarkable, she said, that a state with those resources would cut out references to evolution and the age of the Earth.

“There’s stuff in there that’s not even accurate when you reword it,” Galyas said earlier on her drive to Santa Fe, the frustration evident in her voice. “New Mexico is the birthplace of the Manhattan Project. … Einstein walking the halls.

And we’re editing stuff scientists wrote and were a part of writing? That’s just … it’s a joke.”

istory isn’t always easy to feel. It can be a dry and boring recitation of dates and facts. But throw a ghost in the mix, and a connection forms. Spirits—and stories about crossing their paths—allow the past to creep into the present, making us think the dead might still be with us.

In Santa Fe, the apparitions wander our arroyos, resorts and galleries.

It seems every conversation about hauntings in our adobe town finds its way to a single marker in the cemetery of Santa Fe’s spectral tradition: Peter Sinclaire.

He’s a local ghost tour guide and history buff who’s been leading his guests to spooky spots in the downtown area since the early ’90s.

As an ancient city with a violent history, Santa Fe is rich with material for Sinclaire’s paranormal pantomimes. “I have about 30 different ghost encounters within three or four blocks of the Plaza that I’ve heard about over the last 26 years,” he says.

Sinclaire begins his walking tours at Hotel St. Francis on Friday and Saturday evenings around 6 pm. Lean and clad in a denim-on-denim ensembles, Sinclaire enunciates each detail in his lengthy stories; he’s emphatic and has theatrical moves thrown in. Ever-chatting as he walks groups from one location to the next, Sinclaire’s love of history—and Santa Fe—bleeds through. He includes details

about individual ghosts shared through the years by hotel and restaurant employees, old friends or past tour-goers.

This year marked my first stroll with Sinclaire; but growing up here, I heard ghosts stories from camp counselors, teachers and parents aiming to spark my interest in history or ward me off a dangerous area. While they describe the lives of depressed young wives, abused children and forlorn soldiers, they’re really stories about the past in the City Different.

Such ghoulish tales become urban legends that stick around for generations, and that’s a phenomenon in itself—that some events are so tragic, or terrifying, they become part of a town’s psyche.

After a grisly murder, neighbors of the slain family tell their friends, and those friends tell their families—and the news ripples out into the community, becoming legend. When children are killed by their own mother, a cautionary tale is told for generations in the horror’s wake.

Or when a formerly handsome young soldier—who’s already survived, and lost, so much—takes his own life in a recovery suite, people hear the sound of his limp feet thumping against the window like a zombie pendulum decades later.

The heaviness that remains after things happen; things that seem like they shouldn’t be, that they couldn’t be, allow ghosts to linger. This is a collection of these eerie narratives and how they persist in a world of skeptics. Why do we tell ghost stories, even if we don’t believe them?

JULIA STAAB

The Young Bride When it comes to apparitions in Santa Fe, Julia Staab has reigned a hundred years as queen. Julia was shipped to New Mexico in her teens after marrying an older man she hardly knew, Abraham Staab, in an arranged Christmas Day ceremony in their shared hometown of Lügde, Germany. Abraham owned the estate that now comprises La Posada de Santa Fe. Pre-wedding, Julia had a reputation as being “emotional,” and relocating to the dusty, outlaw-packed Wild West from her posh life in Europe wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. She didn’t speak the language, didn’t understand the culture and immediately started having babies. Some died in childhood.

Rumors abound about Abraham Staab and the way he treated his young, fragile wife, and each paints the rich man as abusive. Some say he was the source of her torment; others that he chained his crazed partner to the radiator in a second-floor suite; and others still that he killed her in a fit of rage.

Other theories hold that Julia took her own life.

Whatever the cause of her demise, Julia died young, even for the time period.

After many trips to “spas” in her home country, a hysterectomy and countless other attempts to aid her spirits and health, Julia Staab died in 1896 at the age of 52.

Today, many believe her ghost haunts the grounds of La Posada as a translucent white figure descending the main stair-

case from time to time. Julia remains ever-present in her suite, visitors say. Some say she moves chairs, dims lights, opens and shuts cabinet doors, and makes the chandeliers swing with paranormal drafts. It is, after all, Julia’s house—and maybe she’s just trying to keep up her duties as hostess, apres-death.

Hannah Nordhaus, Julia Staab’s great-great-granddaughter and author of a book about her ancestor, American Ghost, imagines what the move from Germany was like for Julia.

“She’s sort of plopped down there [in New Mexico], has a bunch of kids and we’re not sure whether it was postpartum depression or something else,” she says in an interview from her home in Boulder, Colorado. “But her health, mental and physical, suffered after having all these kids.”

While Nordhaus and her family always knew about her pioneer ancestors who lived in Santa Fe, they didn’t hear about Julia’s ghost until the late ’70s.

“And as time went on, it morphed into this story about this very downtrodden, abused woman who was kept down by her husband and locked up in her room and lost children,” Nordhaus tells SFR. “The first articles about it appeared in the late ’70s in the Santa Fe Reporter.”

Sinclaire says his tours always include La Posada, not only because Julia’s ghost is renowned, but also “because that is an active ghost, and I get new stories to tell.”

Nordhaus stayed in Julia’s suite at La Posada, hoping to encounter the spirit herself.

The Neglected Son

HAUNTED MANSION ON GRANT AVENUE “I was up and down all night, barely slept. And then in the morning I woke up and saw some lights, and I wasn’t sure if it was sort of me in a dream-state just really, really wanting to experience something,” she says, “or I did experience something.”

On her way out, Nordhaus told a front desk clerk about the illumination she had seen that morning. The clerk had already heard about Julia once that day: Another guest saw something similar in a nearby room a few hours before.

“I don’t know if it confirmed, but it made me question my experience a little less,” Nordhaus says. “I may have completely discarded it if I hadn’t had that confirmation that someone else had seen the same thing.”

A story like Julia’s magnetizes, tap-

ping familiar human themes: A young, beautiful, sad woman makes for waify imagery and recollects heroine, save-me plotlines. Nordhaus says the sightings help push Julia’s story along through the years, reviving it when the memory has faded.

But there’s something else.

“Julia’s story in particular was so sad, and so reflective of her era, so I think people feel very attached to her and find her story really interesting,” her relative says.

“It’s really the experience of a 19th-century woman in frontier Santa Fe. It was a real rough-and-tumble town and this sort of already-refined woman plopped down there with her health and emotional problems, I think, really captured people’s attention.”

The tall, pitched-roof building on the corner of Grant Avenue and Johnson Street stands out in the city’s largely adobe landscape. The anomalous structure looks like it could house a spider web-ridden attic. Inside, the old wood floors creak as you shift your weight, and the corners angle sharply into the corridors, so you can’t see around them.

When you picture haunted mansion clip art, you see this house.

Then there’s the basement: massive, dark and damp. It’s just too short to stand in, so you’re hunched as you explore it through claustrophobia and strained vision. The lack of light and the the weight of the three-story building above sitting on you is so intense, it’s almost hard to breathe.

In the early 1900s, the house is said to have been home to a young couple and their sickly son. The wheelchair-bound boy lived in a room on the second floor, and he accidentally tumbled down the staircase more than once. The husband died, and when the wife remarried, it was to an unkind man who may have beaten the boy, worsening his ailments.

When death came for the child—no one is quite sure at what age—the mother and her new husband moved. But even as the house sat empty, Santa Feans report-

ed banging noises, moaning sounds and lights flickering in the boy’s old room.

Dates of occupancy records obtained by the Andrew Smith Gallery, which now occupies the building, state that the corner lot sold for $10 in 1902, but do not state the name of the purchaser. In 1906 the house resold to Ada Peacock Moore, who owned it for 34 years and raised three children there.

Two years before Peacock Moore’s purchase, her husband succumbed to tuberculosis. So, perhaps this tale has roots in that family, or maybe it sprung from the family living in the house before.

From 1982 to 2006, the Grant Street house was a bed and breakfast. During that time, the supernatural, somewhat macabre reports continued, including the frequent smell of rotting meat and blasts of freezing air that would kill house plants. But in 2007, the Andrew Smith Gallery took over and Liz Kay, a gallery writer and salesperson for over 30 years, tells SFR they haven’t had one strange experience since.

So what perpetuates this tale? In this case, it may be the building itself.

“In the basement, there is this ancient boiler. And this boiler gives off these groans and popping sounds,” Kay says. “It has its own life and energy you can hear when we turn on the heat in the winter.”

Whether the human-like sounds puffing up from the basement are coming from the boiler or a waylaid spirit stuck between two worlds, Kay believes the internet has helped fuel speculation around the latter.

“People, as soon as they go online and click on Santa Fe history, they’re going to find some reference about the ghosts of Santa Fe,” she says. “And that’s going to lead them right here to this building.”

The Weeping Woman Filicide may be the darkest of all forms of murder. And when a mother kills her children, it is not soon forgotten.

There are varying versions of the story of La Llorona, who forever wanders the Santa Fe River, crying out for the children she drowned in it. Her story is most often told to children, especially those who grow up near arroyos where flash floods fill dry beds with roaring walls of water in an instant.

Sinclaire’s version of this ubiquitous ghost tale largely mirrors the one I heard as a child: In the 1700s, when Santa Fe belonged to Spain and streets were dirt, a girl named Maria called this place home. She was strikingly gorgeous, stirring jealousy in the rest of the city’s women. As such, Maria had no girlfriends. All the men were too enamored to approach her, so

Her story is most often told to children ... who grow up near arroyos where flash floods fill dry beds with roaring walls of water in an instant.

she was single, and her best friend was her grandmother.

One night, Maria dreamt of her future husband: Tall and handsome, with dark ringlets of hair. They fell in love, married and moved to a house by the Santa Fe River. They had one child, then another, and they were happy. Maria woke in the morning and ran to tell her grandmother about the wonderful dream.

Maria’s grandmother listened, then said: “Maria, Maria, Maria. You speak of love. It’s not how a man looks—sparkling eyes, handsome. It’s what is he like—kind, gentle. Is he loving? Would he make a good father? These are the kinds of things you must look for in a man or I fear you’ll have trouble,” says Sinclaire.

Maria didn’t listen. And when a handsome soldier named Gregorio rode into town—tall, with dark ringlets—her dream seemed more like a premonition. She played hard-to-get, which ol’ Gregorio fell for, and he wrote her love songs and played them at her window at night.

They married.

Two babies and a few years later, after moving to a house near the river, as Sinclaire says, “Gregorio starts to spend more time at the office. He’s out late at night with ‘friends,’ who aren’t all of the male disposition, if you catch my drift.” Maria grew angry, they argued, and Gregorio left.

One spring day about a year after leaving, as the river roared (because, as Sinclaire points out, there was no reservoir at that time) Gregorio returned. But he did so with another woman. She was rich and rode in an expensive carriage. After assuring his wife he would return for their children and care for them with his new rich wife, whom he truly loved, he left.

Maria snapped.

In a frantic mania, thinking she couldn’t bear to lose her small children, she threw them into the raging river.

Sinclaire says she chased after them, realizing what she’d done. But she tripped over the roots of a cottonwood tree, smashed her head on a rock, and died on the spot. The priest at San Miguel Mission believed Maria had been an unfit mother; he refused her burial in the church. She was buried by the river, which she haunts to this day.

La Llorona screams for her children and weeps by the river. It is said she appears wrapped in a dark shawl, mostly to children or husbands out after dark. On approach, she reveals her face, which is no longer beautiful, but a decaying skull.

I have to admit, it’s a bit hard not to be shaken by the sound the wind makes, running through plants near Alto Street and under bridges along East Alameda; the whistling gusts can sound an awful lot like crying.

There’s a purpose behind this story: keeping children away from danger. Fear won’t fail where a parent’s warning will, and while our river doesn’t run like it used to, it’s no place for playtime. La Llorona might be looking for her children, and take you instead.

and noticed, in the corner, a poker game in progress. Feeling good—and rich—he decided to join in the action.

Now, the dealer had seen this salesman when he arrived with his fat sacks of cash, and he decided to play a game of his own.

He let the salesman win the first hand, but not another after, and he was broke before he knew it. With enough to bet one last hand, the salesman went all in, and lost everything—his entire commission, and the company’s share to boot.

Ruined, the salesman ran from the bar to the courtyard and promptly threw himself down an open well, where he died.

Today, a fountain sits at the well site in the center of La Plazuela restaurant inside La Fonda. The gun salesman, as the tale goes, hangs around it from time to time, wandering through the restaurant.

“I used to hear from the waitresses.

It would happen at breakfast almost always,” says Sinclaire. “Guests would say,

‘A white shadowy figure came from near the kitchen and disappeared near the well.’ It’s like the salesman is reliving it, again and again.”

The notoriety of La Fonda plays a part in this tale. Everyone knows the place is full of history, so it’s easy to imagine more than one ghost floating through the saltillo tile hallways. In fact, there are several sightings that spawn from this hotel, and Sinclaire knows them all.

This story, much like that of La Llorona, is a cautionary tale: Don’t make a gamble with someone else’s money, or you’ll end up in over your head.

The Haunted Barracks The college campus, home to the Santa Fe University of Art and Design through spring 2018, has housed more than aca-

The High Roller La Fonda on the Plaza has always been the inn at the end of the Santa Fe Trail. In 1850, it was the prime place to stop, and one day a traveling gun salesman rode into town. His saddle bags were packed with cash from commissions he’d collected while selling guns around territorial New Mexico. He paid $1.50 for a room at La Fonda.

After a long, hard ride, the salesman wanted a drink. He headed for the bar

demic institutions in its past. It was the Bruns Army Hospital during World War II and the site of army barracks, some of which burned earlier this year in a fire.

In the late ’90s, when I was in elementary school, I went to day camp during the summers at the Driscoll Fitness Center on what was then the College of Santa Fe campus. The counselors loved to torture us campers with stories about the ghosts that haunted the barracks.

One narrative focused on a 1940s nurse who was said to have been attacked by a soldier with post-traumatic stress disorder. Murdered in the tragic event, the nurse’s soul was doomed to forever wander the halls, and the counselors reported seeing her floating down the cafeteria hallways in her white nurse’s uniform, still streaked with blood.

Caitlyn Fitzgerald, campmate and best friend since those summer days, has a thing for scary stories and horror, so she never forgot the details.

“I remember walking in a line to the cafeteria, and the hallways were carpeted and gross, and smelly,” she says. “There were florescent lights blinking overhead, it was a really creepy vibe.”

The counselors told kids they would hear tapping at the top of a window pane in one specific room of the barracks, even on still evenings. They said the room was formerly home to a recovering WWII soldier who, disfigured and depressed, hanged himself outside the window. The sound “was supposedly his feet still rapping on the window outside the dormitory room,” says Fitzgerald.

Another consistent kernel at the heart of these legends? Fear. Fitzgerald sums up the collective fascination: “It’s fun to be scared.”

And you don’t have to believe something to fear it.

As an instinct, fear sits with us differently than other emotions. Get scared somewhere, and you may feel echoes of that initial terror in the chilling place for years. The room where a sickly child was abused, riverbanks where a mother drowned her children and charred army barracks are the kinds of places where you get scared, because you know what’s happened there, and you fear whatever may linger.

You’ll always think of Julia Staab when you pass La Posada, or the greedy gun salesman when you dine near that well.

Santa Fe is a place that revels in its historical wealth and the oldest parts of town abide by strict design codes to maintain a bygone adobe look. So it seems only right that we retell the stories that mark our town’s past, decorating them with ghosts that never die.

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.

he morning air carried the bite of autumn as we unloaded from the van, mugs of coffee in hand, and hiked along an old road grade to where we could get a good look not at the view down valley, but at the trees. This area, right at Palo Flechado, the pass between Taos and Angel Fire, has seen saws and flame torches in recent years. Stumps mark where trees once crowded so closely their branches intermingled overhead.

Now, it’s easy for Laura McCarthy of The Nature Conservancy to find a sunny spot to unroll her map. It covers the 280,000 acres near Taos where the Rio Grande Water Fund is planning wildfire mitigation efforts aimed at protecting the watershed for the Rio Grande—some 1.7 million acres—and its millions of downstream drinkers. On it, she has circled the areas identified as most at risk, and points out where previous fires have taken hold and burned up valleys. Were a fire to start near the base of the road to the Taos Ski Valley, it could burn through houses, ski area infrastructure and stretches of the Carson National Forest popular for hiking, biking, skiing and snowshoeing.

The fund’s large-scale effort has aligned stakeholders from around the region, including the conservancy, the LOR Foundation, a grantmaker focused on rural communities in the West, and Louis Bacon, owner of Taos Ski Valley and founder of the Taos Ski Valley Foundation. By employing local contractors,

connecting the lumber with those who can turn it into latillas, vigas, mulch, and firewood, the project’s partners say it can boost the local economy as well.

“The Rio Grande Water Fund is a model for how state and local organizations, businesses, governments and communities can work together to improve and protect the health of this critical watershed for the future,” Bacon writes in a statement. The Taos Ski Valley Founda-

tion has contributed $375,000 to the fund over two years.

What McCarthy hopes to see is the forest—that after the thinning and burning, it’s not nothing. It’s an airy, sun-filled set of ponderosas and aspens, slightly charred by the prescribed fires that passed through four and seven years ago and burned low-level vegetation and piles without reaching the tops of the trees and wiping out the forest altogether. This work predates the project, but demonstrates what the fund’s partners hope to leave for future generations to enjoy for its recre-

ational values and utilize for high-quality drinking water.

Compare that kind of fire cycle to Las Conchas, McCarthy prompts, the crown fire that torched 43,000 acres in 14 hours in 2011. That type of fire is “out of category” for a forest that historically grew at an average density of 80 trees per acre, and now comes at more like 800 to 1,000. Problems continued even after the fire ended, when rain storms arrived and washed so much debris and sediment into the Rio Grande that Albuquerque and Santa Fe had to shut off water intakes from the river. Forest fires suddenly stopped looking like a problem just for the US Forest Service.

“They realized they needed a lot of partners,” McCarthy says.

So, too, did the agency need to ramp up from efforts to address 5 acres at a time in a scattershot approach. The scope of work is enormous when the whole Rio Grande watershed is considered—aiming for 40 percent of the watershed, that’s 600,000 acres forest managers hope to treat.

A “catalytic investment” of $1 million came from the LOR Foundation. For every private dollar invested, the fund leverages a matching $4 in public funds.

Since launching in 2014, the project has reached 70,000 acres with thinning, controlled burns and managed natural fire.

McCarthy argues that what made it work was the collaborative approach: “These are enormous, complex problems, and nobody wants a bull’s-eye on their back.”

The more organizations that have joined, the easier it has been to recruit new partners, and 60 have signed on. The Taos and Isleta Pueblos are participating, too. Some of the thinning has been done by the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps, which employs 16- to 25-year-olds in conservation-focused work.

What everyone is after, in addition to protecting the water, is a better un-

derstanding of what’s at risk if a massive fire does sweep up this canyon. For that research, we head to Garcia Park, lift mountain bikes off the van and take off down the South Boundary Trail, which cuts right through the middle of the acreage near Taos identified as a high priority for treatment. The route hugs a ridgeline that descends toward town, and by hugs, I mean the singletrack hangs onto the sides of steep hillsides while the peak-yellow aspens and pines rip past. It’s world-class; the kind of trail that puts a place and its biking on the map, as long as it lasts.

MIKEY BAKER

EVENT WED/18

The local music scene lurched over the weekend when drummer Micah Chappell (The Hollis Wake, Led Zeppelin cover band Moby Dick and many others) died shortly after he was diagnosed with an undisclosed illness. “He was my brother,” longtime collaborator Mikey Baker says.

“He was one of a kind.” It’s a time for sadness but, seeing as it’s surely what Chappell would have wanted, there will be music. Tonight at The Underground, local acts The Imperial Rooster and The Dildonts join an acoustic version of Moby Dick and DJ Telefunkin for a memorial show and silent auction. All proceeds go to Chappell’s family. It’s a major loss to local music and he will not be forgotten. (ADV) Micah Chappell Celebration of Life: 9 pm Wednesday Oct. 18. $5.

COURTESY LANDLADY

MUSIC THU/19 THE ROCK KEEPS COMING Holy smokes, Brooklyn’s Landlady is smooth and sexy as hell. Think soulful throwback bass lines that wouldn’t be out of place in the world of Motown and vintage guitar riff psychedelics under front man Adam Schatz’ gravelly Randy Newman-like timbre and piano foundations. For a better idea, see their NPR Tiny Desk Concert from Oct. 6 of this year—you’re welcome. Fellow NYC musician Ian Chang comes along for the show with a bonkers percussion set, and Albuquerque’s three-bass/two-drummer post-punk explosion Chicharra plays as well, fresh off the release of their very first full-length, Let’s Paint This Town in Craters. Wait a minute—is it just us, or is there almost too much good music this week? We’re scared, Santa Fe, but it feels good. (ADV) Landlady with Ian Chang and Chicarra: 7:30 pm Thursday Oct. 19. $10-$12. Second Street Brewery (Rufina Taproom), 2920 Rufina St., 954-1068.

COURTESY THEATER OF DEATH

THEATER FRI/20-TUE/31 GET SMOKED

Local institution Joe West founded his Theater of Death series a mere three years ago, and 2017 (the weirdest year we can recall in so many ways) brings its fourth production, The Marijuana Morality Plays, to bear. West’s deep appreciation for the French Grand Guignol theater tradition runs deep, as do his musical and theatrical connections, so just what happens when a venerable creator and lover of characters joins Madrid’s finest for a humorous (and probably creepy) look at those who would be stoned? You’re gonna want to find out, that’s for damn sure. Just don’t bring your kids—this one’s for those 21 and over. (ADV) Theater of Death: The Marijuana Morality Plays: 2 and 8 pm Friday-Sunday, Oct. 20-22.

Through Oct. 31. $20. Engine House Theater, 2846 Hwy 14, Madrid, 473-0743.

MUSIC MON/23

Pop it Off Lace up your Chucks—Joyce Manor and Wavves are here Surely there are folks wandering around for whom the statement “Joyce Manor is coming and they’ll have Wavves with them!” is a big effing deal. California’s Joyce Manor has, of course, never been through town before this week, and San Diego three-piece Wavves’ previous show at Skylight a few short months back (Music: “Wavvelengths,” May 24) was a pretty spectacular reminder that they’re one of the most solid and just plain fun rock bands operating today. For their part, Joyce Manor’s pop-punk/emo-esque sound continues a sort of light trend in and around Santa Fe—and the country, really—that is surely some part nostalgia and some other part good music is good music.

After all, a world in which Jawbreaker gets back together (for a show or two, anyway), Rozwell Kid draws troves and even Weezer itself musically recalls a time when they weren’t so goddamn precious is a good one.

And bands like these are important, not just to those who cut their teeth on Asian Man Records or Fueled by Ramen. Think bedroom boredom, woeis-me relationship-busters and the almost-joking reassurance that subur-

ban doldrums can propel the tattooed, black-shirt, Chuck Taylor-wearing set into introverted lyricism and two-minute powerhouse songs that play like angsty teenaged journal entries if the conditions are just right.

Joyce Manor’s most recent effort Cody is barely a year old; Wavves’ You’re Welcome is even younger, but both know from whence they came. It isn’t that these are derivative bands; more like improvements on the things you know and love. For listeners who still appreciate guitar-driven rock, we can’t be too careful in who and how we nurture and support. We’re on the cusp of a breakthrough here; where Taylor Swift and the “Despacito” continue to hypnotize a certain sect and the rest of us hotheads try, possibly in vain, to recapture the sweat-soaked, packed-floor shows of our musically formative years.

Joyce Manor and Waaves seem as good a soundtrack to that mission as we could hope for. (Alex De Vore) JOYCE MANOR AND WAVVES

Pinta

It’s so easy to love Pinta! Pinta is blind and deaf but she doesn’t let it get in the way of living a fun life! She has really charmed staff and volunteers here and is oh so sweet!

Pinta was easily startled here at the shelter, which is understandable, so she will require a slow and thoughtful introduction. Pinta is about 4.5 years old and her previous owner was moving and could not take her. Will you please give her a chance at a long happy life?

About one year old, Boo is a full grown shepherd mix with a darling personality. She’s typically a little nervous when she meets someone for the first time but warms up to gentle pets and belly rubs. Boo enjoys running around the office with a toy in her mouth or lying down under the desk while we work. She’s the perfect size dog for a smaller home and she’d enjoy a home without children as adults tend to be a little easier for her to adjust to. If you’re looking for an exercise partner or just some affectionate company, Boo is the girl for you!

Free Falling Singer-songwriter Liv Lombardi returns to Santa Fe

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

F

ive years ago, Liv Lombardi was onto something [Music: “Liv and Let Liv,” June 12, 2012].

She’d recently returned to Santa Fe after a disastrous relationship in Cyprus, she’d formed a band and was performing relatively often; she’d just self-released her first album, Self Medicate.

History, it seems, repeats itself. Lombardi has once again returned to Santa Fe with a new band and a new EP, titled Freedom Girl, and a fresh heartbreak from which to cull song material. Life is funny like that.

“At the beginning of 2013 I was like, ‘I’ve gotta get out of Santa Fe; I want to keep doing [music], but in Europe.’”

Lombardi booked a one-way trip back to Cyprus, then made her way throughout Germany, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Hungary and beyond, playing shows, crashing on couches and staying in hostels. “Freedom Girl is based on that trip,” she says. “Cyprus was kind of like home since I’d studied there in college, but Budapest was the complete unknown.”

She met a woman there, fell in love and, she says, “it turned into this really profound thing—the perfect stranger kind of thing—but it took me a long time to home in on and figure out how much that meant to my story.”

That part, of course, is beautiful heartbreak-spurred inspiration, though it’s not entirely innovative to write songs about sadness. But it doesn’t end with the breakup, though—far from it.

“When I went to Turkey, I was there with a lot of people who were escaping Istanbul, and that was teaching me a lot

about my freedom,” Lombardi recalls. “My message, I suppose, with Freedom Girl is that when we choose to follow the thing that feels most true, to be free, the opposite side of the coin is that there’s a lot of pain.”

Lombardi was sexually assaulted in Turkey by a man who ran a hostel. “Learning how to look at that—like, the worst thing that could ever happen to you— and to say, ‘OK, that happened, but I’m still alive, I need to heal, I need to persevere,’” she says, “the more I started talking about it, the more I realized how often it happens; how much shame and guilt there is, and it’s not anyone’s fault but the person who does the attacking. It’s been a tough passage to navigate.”

Cut to one year ago when Lombardi was in the midst of a musical residency in Summer Lake, Oregon—the middle of nowhere. “I kept having this conversation with myself, and saying, ‘The reason I’m not touring is this, the reason I have anxiety is that.’ And I just remember finally thinking, ‘I’m done, I’m ready to move on,’” she explains. “I feel like that allowed me to empty out all the stuff, and when I started filling back up again, it was with this incredible sense of self.”

The story, as it were, comes across in Freedom Girl’s five songs like a popheavy evolution of a folk-esque performer who’s had her fair share of troubles.

Melodically and musically, it’s tight and catchy thanks to help from audio engineers Kabby Kabakoff and Will Dyar, Treemotel’s Mark Williams and David

COURTESY LIV LOMBARDI; ARTWORK BY COREY PURVIS

MUSIC

The Freedom Girl EP is some of Lombardi’s best work.

Badstubner, and California-based musician Daniel Siuba, a longtime collaborator of Lombardi’s. But beyond the upbeat melodies and reverb-laden guitar sound are lyrics that describe a deep intensity tempered by hope and pitch-perfect vocals.

Lombardi does bring happier material to the forefront, but she’s not shying away from the bad. It’s all at once technically notable in its production values and lyrically raw and open in a way that many musicians fear to explore. The only real downside would be that the listener might want more. But is that bad? Better to want more than less.

And anyway, she’s got enough material for a full-length; Freedom Girl is more like the prologue. “It’s exciting,” Lombardi says. “It’s exciting to have this piece that’s like, ‘Hey, this is where I’ve been, let’s keep going.’”

And keep going she shall at an upcoming Zephyr performance alongside stalwart local harp weirdo ppoacher ppoacher (Caitlin Brothers of Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand). Lombardi’s twin sister Ariana, who has been living in China, joins in to her sister’s music.

“There’s a way to be hopeful,” Lombardi adds. “I’ve found my music is my hope that I’m finding in the dark; how I speak truth to the awful things, but how it makes visible the love and the strength in my life.”

That Has Ever Happened to Me

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

more than a week before opening. He told us (paraphrased): “You’ll be looking for supplies, which we don’t have. There are journal entries you find along the way that tell the story of the apocalypse, and they aren’t done yet. The guides will be using a lot of props that aren’t there. The zombies will be hiding behind set pieces that we’re getting in the next few days.

There will be more walls, but we haven’t built them. No one is really in costume. So

CHARLOTTE JUSINSKI / ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN

Unpopular opinions: Halloween sucks, experiential strategy team activities are the most not-fun things ever invented, and the zombie apocalypse is actually a legitimately scary prospect and not entertaining in the least.

These three firmly held beliefs are precisely why I knew I had to check out the Santa Fe Playhouse’s Halloween experiential zombie apocalypse team quest. Thankfully, my friend Stefani thought this sounded fun. I figured her enthusiasm would buoy me in my disdain, so I made arrangements for us to preview Santa Fe Dead and sent her a text. She promptly replied that she was out of town that day.

Awesome. Going great.

With Stefani out, I rang my friend Beckie. She, like me, dislikes Halloween, but she’s a dependable ride-or-die when I ask her to do things that she, I, or we both hate. God bless her, she said she’d come.

When we arrived at the big empty warehouse in an overgrown lot just off Agua Fría Street, which the Playhouse has rented for the month of October, theater artistic director Vaughn Irving met us outside in the dark.

(Irving conceived of the production with Rex Daugherty in 2014 in its East Coast iteration, DC Dead.) As we hashed out the details, he prepped us for how not-done the show was—it was, after all,

… you’re gonna have to suspend disbelief.”

Oh yeah. Going great.

Irving brought us inside the warehouse, dubbed Survivor HQ, and prepped us on the premise. The building used to be the last stronghold of humanity, but the undead have taken over everything except the lobby and the briefing room—and somewhere in the overtaken space lies a vaccine. You have to find it.

There is an area to leave notes for your loved ones, in case they pass through after you; there is a Wall of Fame for teams that finish the 45-minute route with great success. As you wait in the lobby, other teams’ screams from the cavernous concrete building echo through the walls and ceiling. Not cool.

Teams of two to eight people will depart 14 times per evening, led by guides in character, under the direction of Jerry Ferraccio and Matthew K Gutierrez.

(The experience is recommended for ages 14 and up, or as young as 9 with an adult.) Beckie and I, on a team of other cast members for practice, were led by a John Shaft-esque gentleman dubbed Soul Train.

We were each given a Nerf gun with four darts—a head shot would kill an approaching zombie. Participants will also get a white T-shirt that will record how many times they get “tagged” (zombie hands leave marks; two tags and you’re infected and must be left behind).

Having been briefed and armed, we set off into the danger zone. Narrow hallways, claustrophobic rooms, strange ambient light that created moving shapes behind hanging translucent tarps—yes, this is the actual worst. Beckie grabbed onto my arm. The group kept inviting me to open doors and go first into darkened rooms, and I quickly let them know that they were insane. After winding our way through a few rooms, we came upon a large landing with scattered tables and other shit I just knew some asshole was gonna jump out from behind.

I was right. Bodies popped up all around us and a melee of Nerf darts followed. We were all in street clothes and nothing was quite the way it was going to be by opening night, but it didn’t matter. The adrenaline spikes, you panic and can’t work the fucking gun, everyone around you is screaming though trying not to (zombies are attracted to sound, you asshole!), there’s nowhere to run. We climbed creaky stairs and opened suspicious doors and eyed every last object we encountered with great suspicion (a small cardboard box in the corner was the most terrifying thing ever for a minute) and, when things would occasionally quiet down, another piece of the plot would emerge. A captive girl, pieces of civilization left behind, journal pages, hints to the location of the cure—bit by bit, the Santa Fe Dead world took shape.

At one point, in a second-story wood-paneled room that wouldn’t have been at all eerie in any other situation, we were set upon by way the hell too many people coming out of way the hell too many doors. I couldn’t get the gun to work (note: It functioned just fine) and as I tried to run to nowhere I barreled full-on into Irving while screaming, “This is the least-cool thing that has ever happened to me!”

So, in short: Sorry for what I said when I was scared, Santa Fe Dead. I panicked, you know?

Beckie and I needed a drink pretty bad afterward, but shit, that was fun. And I already have tickets to come back with Stefani.

Get savager at: SFReporter.com/savage

My only child is 16 years old. He was curious about sex from a very young age and very open with me, so his interest in sexual matters gave me ample opportunity to talk with him about safety and consent. He went through a cross-dressing phase when he was small—mostly wanting to wear nail polish and try on mascara—and I felt like I navigated those waters pretty well, but his father made attempts to squelch those impulses. (He and I are divorced. He has since remarried and is less involved.) That’s the background. I’ve always accepted that he is who he is and done my best to help guide and educate him. Then last year, I caught him trying to shoplift a pair of panties. I’m not the sort of mom who freaks out, but I made him put them back and talked to him about his actions. When I asked him why he stole them, he refused to tell me.

I asked: “Did you want them to masturbate with? Did you want to wear them?” He said he wanted to try them on. I told him that if he wanted to explore, he needed to do that with a legal purchase and in the privacy of his own room. Today, I found a girl’s bra in the laundry.

He says he doesn’t know whose it is or how it got there, but this isn’t my first rodeo. What on earth do I do? If I send him to a therapist and this is about being trans or cross-dressing tendencies, I’m afraid that will shame him.

However, this is now something of a criminal/ ethical concern, and I want to nip that in the bud. He is in every way a wonderful human: kind, smart, funny, athletic, no drugs. Is this just the same kid who has always been curious about sex? Or are these warning signs of some sort of sexual deviance? Please help.

-Mom In Sleepy South Carolina Lovingly Educates Offspring Take a deep breath, MISSCLEO, or take two— take however many you need until you’re back in touch with your inner mom, the one who doesn’t freak out.

Your son may be a cross-dresser or he may be trans or he may find bras and panties titillating because women wear them and he wants to sleep with women (not be one). (Lots of gay boys are titillated by jockstraps—but a closeted gay boy can collect ’em all without freaking out his mom.) We can’t know whether your son is a cross-dresser, trans, or merely titillated, MISSCLEO, but he’s clearly exploring and wants to do so privately. So while he could go to his mom and ask for a pair of panties and let her know exactly how he intends to use them, he doesn’t want to ask his mom for a pair of panties or share his uses for them with his mom. He knows you’ve always accepted him for who he is (but a reminder never hurts), so if this is about his gender identity, well, you’ll have to trust that he’ll share that with you when he’s ready. But if this is about a kink, he may never share that info with you, because why on earth would he? Kinks are for sharing with lovers, not mothers.

Give your son some space, including the space to make his own mistakes. As teenage misbehavior goes, swiping a single pair of panties isn’t exactly a crime spree. If you suspect he snuck into the girls’ locker room and made off with a bra (there has to be an easier way for a guy to get his hands on a bra!), you’ll want to address that with him—not the “Why do you want a bra?” part, but the risk of getting caught, suspended, expelled, or worse. There are too many prosecutors out there looking for excuses to slap the “sex offender” label on teenagers—especially in the Bible Belt.

My hunch is you don’t have a sex offender on your hands or a kid drifting into organized crime. You have a slightly pervy teenage boy who’s curious about sex and who may, like millions of other men, have a thing for women’s

undergarments. You should emphasize the Not Okay–ness of shoplifting panties from stores or stealing bras from classmates (or the siblings of friends or Laundromats or thrift stores) and the possible consequences should he get caught—theft charges, suspension/expulsion, losing friends, coming into the sights of a sex-negative prosecutor. (Seriously: A man like Harvey Weinstein gets away with assaulting women for decades, but prosecutors across the country are throwing the book at teenagers who got caught sharing pics they took of themselves with their BFs/GFs/NBFs.) But otherwise, MISSCLEO, I’m going to advise you to back the fuck off. Your son knows you love him, he knows he can talk to you about anything, and he’ll confide in you if and when he’s ready—if, again, this is something he needs to discuss with you at all.

My father passed away suddenly. I had a very idyllic childhood and was close to my father and my mother (who is also deceased). Upon sorting through my father’s stuff after his death, I stumbled upon his erotica collection.

If it were just a stack of Playboys, I would have thought nothing of it—that’s just men being men. However, his collection contained material that was quite disturbing to me, including photos depicting violent sexual acts and fictional erotica books and magazines with themes of incest. Additionally, there were letters from people with whom he was obviously having extramarital affairs, including during the time that I was a child and believed that we were a “normal” family. Since discovering this, it has been hard for me to come to terms with it and think of my father in the way that I used to. I can barely stand to look at a photograph of him. I consider myself to be a sex-positive person, and I realize that even parents are entitled to be kinky, but I simply can’t get over this.

Any suggestions for how to deal with what I’m feeling and how to try to get past it?

-Parent’s Arousal Really Ended Nice Thoughts Sex-positive, huh? Could’ve fooled me.

Your dad was a kinky motherfucker—you know that now—and if you’ve been reading Savage Love for a while, you’ll know that lots of people are kinky and, distressingly, lots of people out there “enjoy” incest porn. “Of the top hundred searches by men on Pornhub,” Seth Stephens-Davidowitz writes in his book Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data, and What the Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are, “sixteen are looking for incest-themed videos.”

And it’s not just men: “Nine of the top hundred searches on Pornhub by women are for incestthemed videos.” That’s cold comfort, I realize, and it doesn’t make it any less squicky, but your dad’s tastes weren’t as freakish as you thought and/or hoped.

As for his affairs, your happy childhood, and your suddenly conflicted feelings…

Your mother isn’t with us, PARENT, so you can’t ask her what her arrangement was with your father. But it’s unlikely you would have had such an idyllic childhood if your parents’ marriage was contentious and your mom was miserable about your dad’s cheating and his kinks. It seems likely that your mom didn’t have a problem with your dad’s sexual interests or she tolerated them or—and I hope you’re sitting down—she was an active and happy participant. (Kinky women weren’t invented in a lab in San Francisco in 2008.)

If your mom didn’t have a problem with your dad’s kinks (which she had to have known about) or his affairs (which she might not have known about), I don’t see why they should be a problem for you.

with Michael Menchel

COURTESY SONY PICTURES ENTERTAINMENT

As soon as the news broke of 19 firefighters killed in Prescott, Arizona, in 2013, producer Michael Menchel knew he had to tell their story in Only the Brave. He immediately started collecting the material and meeting people affected, hoping to present a film that humanizes the risks first responders face to protect homes, lives and public lands. The film screens at 7:30 pm on Thursday, Oct. 19, at the Jean Cocteau Cinema as part of the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival, with Menchel attending.

(Elizabeth Miller) What was it about the disaster in Prescott that made you want to tell that story?

Unfortunately, it is this tragedy that brought light to the profession of first responders, and in this story, particularly to wildland firefighters. There’s a young kid that was really going awry, was going nowhere in life, had no direction. … The Granite Mountain Hotshots mentored him. … Then all of the sudden, in a blink of an eye, they were gone.

How does it feel for it to be debuting while wildfires are raging in California?

It is beyond belief, but this is why these guys should be known, why they need more—more attention, more money. … What an eerie coincidence.

Did you learn anything about fire science along the way?

We know a lot. We had to know a lot. We worked with fire—with real fire—as a part of the set. It was man-made, so we had firewalls, propane hoses, liquid gas and fire hoses. There was real fire, and in certain scenes, it was real, dangerous fire. … We wanted this to be as absolutely correct and authentic as it could be, and real fire gives you the way, gives you the means, to have real authenticity around it because you can’t screw around.

Inner Michael Roque Collins’ paintings invite spiritual exploration Collins was born in Texas in 1955, earned his BFA from the University of Houston in 1978 and went on to receive an MFA in painting from Southern Methodist University in Dallas. He has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows, and his works reside in a variety of collections in Texas including the Art Museum of South Texas in Corpus Christi, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the El Paso Museum of Art and the San Antonio Museum of Art. Though his paintings have often been influenced by coastal environments due to his home base on the Gulf of Mexico, he explains that mountains have always loomed

COURTESY LEWALLEN GALLERIES

I

n his 1912 book, Concerning the Spiritual in Art, Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky wrote, “The spiritual life, to which art belongs and of which she is one of the mightiest elements, is a complicated but definite and easily definable movement forwards and upwards.”

When I tell Michael Roque Collins of Houston, Texas, that his work reminds me of Kandinsky’s book, he exclaims, “You’re speaking my language!”

Collins views paintings as “vessels of the soul,” describing himself as a “painter of spiritual landscapes.” He uses dreams, mythology and memory to create pieces that explore the transitions between despair and hope, order and disorder, as well as physical and spiritual experience.

Inland Mountain Journey is Collins’ upcoming exhibition at LewAllen Gallery, and features his most recent body of paintings—colorful, ethereal views of archaeological ruins overwhelmed by the rampant growth of nature. These views are not entirely rooted in realism, but are instead dreamlike, as if the paint on the canvas is a veiled threshold between our everyday reality and the infinite potential of spiritual exploration. The natural overtaking of the human world beckons viewers into Collins’ worlds to discover not only the artwork, but also insights into, as he describes in his artist statement, “inner and psychological life.”

in his vision. This vision comes to life in Inland Mountain Journey, where Collins charts new territory to explore peaks and forests; like what Kandinsky explains as “the need to move ever upwards and forwards, by sweat of the brow, through sufferings and fears.”

“By using nature in his paintings, [Collins] metaphorically suggests that the human spirit has the same capacity for the cycles of despair that can, through endurance and a sense of struggle, ultimately emerge into a hopeful ascendance,” Ken Marvel, CEO of LewAllen, shares.

Laced throughout these natural scenes are ruins inspired by Collins’ travels to Italy and South America, markings that beg questions of loss, impermanence, and decay. “Ruin is both the idea of artifact of peoples’ dreams, aspirations, good deeds, bad deeds that have preceded our time,” Marvel says, “but also ruin that sort of ironically endures. The ruin that contin-

Michael Roque Collins’ Inland Crossing is a visual metaphor for the bridge art creates between physical and spiritual experience.

ues to suggest the possibility of a more hopeful future.”

Collins creates this sense of hope through strokes of color pressed up against each other in tense contrasts of light and dark, renewal and loss. “There’s a magical quality when you look at land and see light and darkness,” he says. His paintings convey the necessity of this balance to fully experience both the highs and lows of human experience. “Melancholy somber,” he says, “has to be present for the joy to show through.”

Typically, Collins adds to the overall atmosphere of his work through topographical textures of paint created with tongue depressors, yardsticks and palette knives.

But when he approached this series, he says he felt a longing to return to his first love: the paintbrush. “The brush is a tool to fire paint onto the canvas and spread the hues around,” he tells SFR. Collins combines the movement of the brush with the movement of his own body. “Something greater than conscious mind can arise if you allow your body to move while you create,” he adds.

In some sense, Collins’ overall creative process can be viewed as a spiritual journey. He begins with a blank canvas, or what he calls a “flat white void.” What follows is a series of intentional and sensitive decisions to create landscapes from the first brush stroke to the last. Just as Collins’ landscapes unfold with each brushstroke, the paintings in Inland Mountain Journey can be seen as invitations, or mirrors, for spiritual treks of our own inner mountains, explorations that unfold with each step.

Slovakia Meets Santa Fe Dolina’s tasty treats aim to make morning people of us all

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

M

orning is Annamaria O’Brien’s favorite time of day: The quiet serenity and solitude of an empty kitchen, where she can craft pastries and other baked goods. Luckily (for both her and Santa Fe), she now has the space to do just that. In July, O’Brien opened Dolina Bakery & Café, a quaint daytime spot that melds the Eastern European flavors of her childhood with traditional American breakfast favorites.

Slovakian by birth, O’Brien came to the United States 17 years ago to study English and, after traveling around the country, stumbled upon Santa Fe. “I absolutely fell in love with it,” she says.

“Not just the city, but also with my exhusband.” She made a home here, and began a career in the restaurant scene.

Her extensive experience includes a decade at fine-dining landmark Geronimo and then helping to open Café Fina in 2012. However, she was never quite able to focus on her passion for pastries as much she would have liked.

Thus: Dolina, housed in the old Clafoutis space.

“Often in the United States, desserts can be overwhelmingly sweet, and it doesn’t have to just be about the sugar,” O’Brien says. “There are such wonderful other flavors; it doesn’t have to be too sweet to be delightful.”

That’s true of the tvarohovy struhany ($3.25), a traditional Slovakian pastry made from Eastern European probiotic cheese and topped with crumbled chocolate dough. It’s a brilliant breakfast pastry—rich but not heavy, sweet but not overwhelming, with a unique blend of flavors that are hearty enough to keep you full till lunch.

And though it’s tempting to put together an entire meal from the pastry case alone, Dolina’s menu does extend to more standard breakfast faves, like a breakfast burrito ($8.50) or cornmeal waffles with buttermilk-fried chicken ($12). I was craving something hearty, and $10 gets you a generous serving of three ricotta pancakes topped with berries, maple syrup and whipped cream. The accoutrements highlight the delicate flavor and soft, almost gummy texture of the ricotta.

To balance out the sweet on the table, I ordered green chile cheese hash browns ($6) which came out hot and smothered with a green that, while not the spiciest, had a delightful kick and delectable savoriness. In the battle of flavor versus spice, I’ll take flavor any day.

The real winner here, though, is the cheese—a

generous serving of asadero in all its melty, gooey glory bubbling throughout the crispy, crunchy hash browns.

My companion’s order of French toast ($12) was another of O’Brien’s not-as-sweet sweets.

The bread used reportedly changes often, but while we were there, it was a cinnamon walnut swirl, topped with caramelized apples, orange zest and maple syrup. The flavors blended together so well we didn’t even miss the extra sugar.

At $3 per bottomless cup, the coffee runs on the expensive side, but a cappuccino is just 50 cents more. The fresh turmeric and ginger lemonade ($7) comes with honey and cayenne and tastes like health in a glass—seriously, when I get my first cold of the season, I’m heading straight over to get one.

The lunch side is well-represented, too, with items like a house-poached tuna sandwich with capers, pesto and pickled red onions ($12), Caesar and spinach sal-

ads or a bowl of seasonal soup ($8.50) among other choices. O’Brien speaks highly of the often-featured Hungarian goulash. Made according to a traditional recipe with Hungarian paprika but accentuated by poblano peppers and Navajo beef, it incorporates the souls of both of her homes. She’s even subbed out the flour for potato starch, making it gluten-free.

Santa Fe loves a good breakfast joint, and while Dolina is still new, I already count it among my favorites in town.

However, the perennial problem of this space persists: Parking is a nightmare.

Sundays make finding a spot a little easier, as the neighboring business is closed, but I’m not the only one to have figured that out. If you want to skip the wait for a table, try grabbing a place at the community table, or just order pastries at the counter and head back home to eat them in bed—we can’t all be morning people.

DOLINA BAKERY & CAFÉ 402 N Guadalupe St., 982-9394 Hours: 7 am-3:30 pm Monday-Friday; 8 am-3:30 pm Saturday and Sunday Order: The tvarohovy struhany ($3.25) Pair with: The cappuccino ($3.50) Price range: Around $15-$20 per person

The Foreigner Review

Never enough Jackie Chan

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

The Foreigner has a PR problem. See, all its trailers would have us believe that it’s basically Taken with Jackie Chan, and for the first 10 minutes, we really believe this will come to be.

Chan plays Quan, a Chinese restauranteur living in London whose daughter is killed during a bombing carried out by an upstart terrorist cell called the Authentic IRA. He is understandably bummed, and we’ll actually give him points for his excellent acting chops. But after a Chan-heavy opening act, we’re left with Pierce Brosnan for the bulk of the rest. Brosnan is Liam Hennessy, a former IRA soldier who has risen the political ranks to become some sort of diplomat. He’s apparently pissed about the bombing, though it seems more about pardoning his IRA brethren for him than it does loss of life. Chan goes to see him about the names of those who killed his kid, but since Brosnan won’t help, Chan sets out to kill everyone because—ruh-roh, he’s not just a chef—he’s a trained spy! Twist!

7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

+ JACKIE CHAN! - NOT ENOUGH JACKIE CHAN!

For the remainder of the film, Chan does his acrobatics and ass-kickery in surprisingly few scenes while Brosnan navigates the intricacies of international diplomacy, tense relations in a post-IRA world and the constantly shifting loyalties of everyone he thought he could trust. It might have been interesting, but The Foreigner instead forces us to remember names (or code names) of faceless people whom we maybe saw onscreen for 10 seconds in low light at the very beginning of the film. Brosnan does his best as the aging militant who has grown weary of violence, but for every scene of him staring into a fire and brogue-ing his way through a speech about the last 20 years, we couldn’t help but wonder why there wasn’t more bereaved-dad-Chan punching his way through any Irish thug silly

enough to cross his path. Sigh.

The ending buckles under its own labyrinth of stupidity and features some mind-bogglingly disturbing imagery of policemen painted as heroes while straight-up murdering people. It’s also painfully confusing to figure out if Brosnan was in on it the whole time or if he was being played by the aforementioned faceless characters but, either way, more Chan could have solved most of The Foreigner’s shortcomings if only they’d have let him.

It’s very possible Blade Runner 2049 has set itself up for a sequel, which can sometimes be irksome, but with its many facets coming together into a wildly enjoyable sci-fi thriller, we’d actually welcome it with open arms. In the world of reboots, remakes and continuations currently dominating film and television, Villeneuve tackles the material in very smart ways. What happens next is wide open and inviting.

+ PICKS UP THE ATMOSPHERE OF THE ORIGINAL BRILLIANTLY

- SUPER-LONG; GOSLING IS SO-SO

Director Dennis Villeneuve (Arrival) seems to not make bad films, and his Blade Runner 2049 does everything we could have possibly wanted from the longgestating project and more. Ryan Gosling is K—or Joe, depending on what we’re talkin’ about here—a replicant (lifelike robots, for those who haven’t seen Ridley Scott’s seminal 1982 film) turned cop who hunts down oldermodel replicants and “retires” them, which is really a fancy term for killing (since, like, there are not gold watches being handed out). K’s generation of replicants simply obey orders thanks to the shadowy Wallace Corp., the sole manufacturers of such robots run by a painfully over-the-top Jared Leto, who has seemingly crushed all free will out of these things. We can only assume whatever Leto did to prepare for the role, given his famously irritating “method” style, was tiresome.

But why should a robot deserve free will, and just how would one access such an abstract? This and other conundrums form the burning questions beneath the flying cars, replicant fistfights and future-y shootouts— what is free will, what is the soul and why

does Leto’s character insist on wandering around creeping everyone out miserably with his terrifying future-eyes? K, of course, attempts to resolve these questions after a seemingly normal case propels him into the kind of mystery that gets people killed, replicants retired and unearths Harrison Ford (reprising his famous Deckard role) for one of those “We remember the first time he ran

VICTORIA AND ABDUL

afoul of replicants!” moments for people of a certain age.

Villeneuve’s world is stunning, a brilliant intersection of future tech—if the vision from the 1980s had never changed—fan service and a riveting noir mystery. Gosling is interesting enough as the mostly emotionless K, but emotionless often seems like his thing, so he’s right at home here. Far more interesting

MOVIES of an unlikely relationship. It starts off funny enough (watching Her Majesty—portrayed by Judi Dench—shovel food into her mouth, then fall asleep before the main course) and moves to laugh-out-loud quips between the pair of men from India as they make their way to the presence of the Queen. The odd couple of tall, thin Karim (Ali Fazal, Furious 7) and the shorter, wider Mohammed (Adeel Akhtar, The Dictator) are referred to in the palace as “the Hindus” despite that they’re of the Muslim faith, and this is comical at first, then a depressing indicator of the moral danger of imperialism.

The whole of the plot soon enough turns darker, as Victoria’s household, including her dickish son Bertie, the Prince of Wales (spot-on by an almost unrecognizable Eddie Izzard), turn against Abdul, and ultimately her.

Dame Dench’s queen is a wonder to behold, her face and body taking on the deep reality of all her 82 years as she portrays the longserving monarch in the final years before her death at nearly the same age, 81. Dench’s delivery and poise feel regal, except for a few scenes at the outset where there seems a too-abrupt change between her stiff-lipped disinterest and her wet-eyed admiration of a handsome newcomer.

We can’t help but drop into memories of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel when we see the sparkling interaction between her character and the young Indian man she befriends. Both movies touch on the same themes, and this one’s ring of true life events increases its value.

SANTA FE INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL REVIEWED THE CAGE FIGHTER

8

+ RIVETING AND EMOTIONAL - PAYOFF FEELS KIND OF UNSATISFYING

Echoes of Darren Aronofsky’s 2008 Mickey Rourke-led drama The Wrestler creep out from the shadows in the surprisingly emotional documentary The Cage Fighter from director Jeff Unay. Previously a visual effects artist for films like Avatar, Unay enters the documentary arena with the tale of Joe Carman, an aging family man who continues cage fighting well past his prime and despite promises to the contrary made to his wife and children. By day Carman works for the Seattle ferry system; by night he sneaks off to amateur ultimate fighting matches—hardly a crafty plan when he returns home with eyes swollen shut, broken fingers and the like.

Carman cuts a sympathetic figure, at once in love with family life but unable to let go of his past, even as he risks losing his wife and kids. It’s hard not to sympathize as he implores them to understand fighting is the only place he feels like himself. They try; they can’t.

The Cage Fighter: Joe Carman only feels like himself when he fights.

SFREPORTER.COM

Unay forgoes traditional narration in favor of silent observation with full access to Carman’s family and gritty portrayals of real-life matches and their aftermath. Carman, meanwhile, tries to define a fighter’s mentality alongside his trainer and fellow fighters even as he contends with head injuries, the ever-present feel of emptiness and his unraveling family; his wife is ill with some unnamed disease, his kids are already aware he can’t be relied upon.

On the one hand, it’s easy to want Carman to do what he says he will. On the other, who hasn’t felt the cold sting of regret and lost dreams? It’s possible he’s really just trying to minimize these things, though he does rack up a whole lot more along the way. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 81 min.

MAYA DARDEL

5

+ NATHAN KEYES SPOUTS PORCELAIN SYMBOLISM AND TRIVIA

- UNLIKABLE CHARACTERS

Maya Dardel says lots of things about herself that explain why she’s contemplating suicide.

What she sees in the mirror and what she sees in the future make her want to cut out early—like Neil Young’s lyrics, better to burn out than to fade away. She says she’s “a good piece of fruit too long in the fridge,” and in her world, “the light’s gone out.”

By the time the audience joins the successful author, she’s already so numbly embedded in the idea of death as to render herself unlikeable in almost every way. Something about Maya recalls Gloria Steinem, but it’s only in physicality, in age proximity, in long golden brown locks surrounding an angular face that just as well could (should?) be framed in ivory. Real-life Gloria is marching through her eighth decade with her bony hand famously clutching the torch of feminism, and we love her for it. Make-believe Maya has publicly declared she’ll end her own life so that she doesn’t publish mediocre books.

There’s little here to love.

She’s looking for someone to take over her estate after she does the do, and the executor has to be a young male writer, she tells an NPR interviewer in the first scene of the movie. After that, get ready to squirm. Maya is melancholy and manipulative, and she takes the role of cougar to an absurd, exploitive level. Lena Olin (Chocolat, Remember Me) plays this well, maximizing her gravelly and almost monotone voice. Rosanna Arquette’s short interludes as nutty neighbor Leonora are a pleasant reprieve from the main character. The other person who makes the story watchable is Ansel, by

Nathan Keyes (perhaps most notable as Justin Timberlake in made-for-TV movie Britney Ever After). One in the line of prospective pseudosuitors, his introspection opens the door to empathy. Even with his presence, we don’t love Maya, but we feel something. Does she? (JAG) Violet Crown, NR, 104 min.

SAMI BLOOD

9

+ VIVID LEAD, HAUNTING STORY - OTHER CHARACTERS WERE LACKING

European supremacy and race science have affected Indigenous people everywhere, and the trauma sowed across the world continues today. Sami Blood revolves around the life of Elle Marja (Lene Cecilia Sparrok), a Sami girl wise beyond her years who gets snatched by Swedish bureaucrats alongside other tribal youth in the 1930s and enrolled in a boarding school so they can learn the the allegedly “civilized” ways of the West. No yoiking allowed in these classrooms; the children learn under threat of whip the basics of polite Swedish society. Their bleached-blonde teacher viciously deflates Elle Marja’s dreams of attending a “normal” school, and our young protagonist takes her mentor’s racism to heart.

It’s heartbreaking to watch the self-loathing hatch within her, especially because you wonder what would happen if she blasted all that passion and vitriol outward toward her oppressors. Sadly, she does direct her hatred toward her family, leading to a lifetime of bitterness and resentment that the audience can infer from the lessons she learns early on. This dramatic story happened in forced-assimilation camps and schools across the world, and although the film takes place in a particular Nordic context, the pain of colonizerinduced alienation animating her coming-of-age also animates our globalized culture today. It finishes on an ambiguous and unsettled note, and you’re left wondering whether we can’t hope for a better resolution than the one Elle Marja attempts to grasp at the end. (Aaron Cantú) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 110 min.

BECOMING WHO I WAS

9

+ QUIETLY INSISTS WE HEED OUR BELIEFS

- A SLOW START

There is something special about belief. Its affirmations and doubts, the lives it compels us to lead, the journeys it requires us to make and the truths it reveals to us. Life-defining belief is at the core of Moon Chang-Yong and Jeon Jin’s documentary, Becoming Who I Was.

MOVIES Angdu Padma is a Rinpoche—a reincarnated Buddhist master—whom we meet as a boy growing up in the Ladakh region of northern India. He lives his life among spare, rocky vistas and in the steadfast love and care of “Uncle” Rigzin Urgain, a lama and teacher who has given up his life as a traditional doctor to raise Angdu.

Their relationship is the heartbeat of the film and a portrait in certainty and self-sacrifice. Rigzin is constantly tending to Angdu’s needs, patiently teaching and reteaching subtle lessons and quietly demonstrating a faithful life.

Almost instantly, we find ourselves wondering if Angdu can truly be the reincarnated soul of a Buddhist master who first lived centuries ago. Are there pearls of wisdom that would otherwise be impossible for a 9-year-old boy to know? A depth of soul that somehow reveals generational anachrony? A preternatural kindness?

As the audience, we’re not the only ones with doubts. Rinpoche’s monastery expels him early on in the film after years spent waiting for his followers to return and take him to Chinese-held Tibet. It’s the place he says he remembers and where his disciples are, but without Rigzin and a few friends from school, he’s more or less alone. His mother has given him over—lovingly—to Rigzin’s care, but we become very much alone with Angdu as he wonders if he’s truly a reincarnate or just a normal kid.

The film is at its best with glimpses of the reality of Angdu’s life: when we see that he’s a kid, when we catch an outburst that Rigzin gently corrects, when we watch the unlikely best friends gleefully fall into a snowball fight.

Moon and Jeon ask us to take a journey, and while it starts off slowly, it evolves into a beautiful meditation on belief, faith, love and perseverance.(Matt Grubs) Violet Crown, unrated, 95 min.

OL’ MAX EVANS: THE FIRST THOUSAND YEARS

8

+ CAPTURES EVANS’ COMPLICATION - RUSHED IN SPOTS; COUPLE ROUGH TRANSITIONS

If you thought about how a film documenting the life of author Max Evans might feel, you’d drift to relentless wind, a little danger, baritones and two black eyes that might make you reconsider watching. That’s pretty much what Lorene Mills, David Leach and Paul Barnes managed in their onscreen look at how a kid from Ropes (yes, Ropes), Texas, became one of New Mexico’s most celebrated writers and mythical characters.

No amount of time would be enough, but in 79 minutes, the filmmakers make a case for most, if not all, of Evans’ many lives: calf roper, miner, childhood criminal, gold smuggler, barroom brawler, tortured typewriter maniac and mentor. Peter Coyote narrates, so the film feels familiar and warm, but the edges aren’t quite round. For New Mexicans, it’ll look familiar, too—especially the half-focused detail shots capturing rural Taos wind or the long panos of Northern New Mexico’s mountains.

At bottom, Evans is a mystic, and that’s what the film manages to draw out best. Sam Elliott reads well-chosen selections from some of Evans’ best-known works—The Hi Lo Country, The Rounders and others—imbuing the film with Evans’ spare, clear voice.

But there’s an animated sequence from

Becoming Who I Was: The ins and outs of faith.

Bluefeather Fellini, Evans’ magnum opus, in which the main character slips peyote to his captors to escape a jam that marks the high point. And why not? Evans, now 92, reveals his own peyote-infused journey that inspired the scene.

The filmmakers picked just the right cast of characters for interviews, including Ollie Reed, a longtime New Mexico journalist who, unsurprisingly, has shared some misadventures with Evans. One knock: Evans has lived such a vast collection of discrete lives that melting it all together with no snags in the seams would be impossible. There are some bumps in transitions, but in the main, this is a delightful viewing experience for fans of great lives and literature born from New Mexico.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of October 18th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “I am my own muse,” wrote painter Frida Kahlo. “I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.” Would you consider trying out this perspective for a while, Aries? If so, you might generate a few ticklish surprises. You may be led into mysterious areas of your psyche that had previously been off-limits. You could discover secrets you’ve been hiding from yourself. So what would it mean to be your own muse? What exactly would you do? Here are some examples. Flirt with yourself in the mirror. Ask yourself impertinent, insouciant questions. Have imaginary conversations with the person you were three years ago and the person you’ll be in three years.

the last three days, I’ve seen three different men on separate occasions wearing sundresses. So this is definitely the right place for me.” What sort of signs and omens would tell you what you need to do to be in the right place at the right time, Libra? I urge you to be on the lookout for them in the coming weeks. Life will be conspiring to provide you with clues about where you can feel at peace, at home, and in the groove.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Happiness comes from getting what you want,” said poet Stephen Levine, whereas joy comes “from being who you really are.” According to my analysis, the coming weeks will bear a higher potential for joy than for happiness. I’m not saying you won’t get anything you want. But I do suspect that focusing on getting what you want might sap energy from the venture that’s more likely to thrive: an unprecedented awakening to the truth of who you really are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Simon & Garfunkel released their first album in October 1964. It received only a modest amount of airplay. The two musicians were so discouraged that they stopped working together. Then Bob Dylan’s producer Tom Wilson got permission to remix “The Sounds of Silence,” a song on the album. He added rock instruments and heavy echo to Simon & Garfunkel’s folk arrangement. When the tune was re-released in September 1965, it became a huge hit. I bring this to your attention, Scorpio, because I suspect you’re now at a point comparable to the time just before Tom Wilson discovered the potential of “The Sounds of Silence.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Consider how hard it is to change yourself,” wrote author Jacob M. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Sigmund Freud was a med- Braude, “and you’ll understand what little chance you have in trying to change others.” Ninety-nine percent ical doctor who laid the groundwork for psychoanalysis. Throughout the twentieth century, his radical, often of the time, I’d advise you and everybody else to surrender to that counsel as if it were an absolute truth. outrageous ideas were a major influence on Western But I think you Sagittarians will be the exception to culture. When Freud was 50, he discovered a brilliant the rule in the coming weeks. More than usual, you’ll psychiatrist who would become his prize pupil: Carl have the power to change yourself. And if you sucJung. When the two men first met in Vienna in 1907, ceed, your self-transformations will be likely to trigger they conversed without a break for 13 consecutive interesting changes in people around you. Here’s hours. According to my reading of the astrological omens, you could experience a comparable immersion another useful tip, also courtesy of Jacob M. Braude: “Behave like a duck. Keep calm and unruffled on the sometime soon: a captivating involvement with a new surface, but paddle like the devil underneath.” influence, a provocative exchange that enchants you, or a fascinating encounter that shifts your course.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In 1969, two earthlings CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the next twelve months, walked on the moon for the first time. To ensure that astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed there and I hope to help you track down new pleasures and amusements that teach you more about what you want returned safely, about 400,000 people labored and cooperated for many years. I suspect that in the coming out of life. I will also be subtly reminding you that all the world’s a stage, and will advise you on how to raise months, you may be drawn to a collaborative project that’s not as ambitious as NASA’s, but nevertheless fueled by a your self-expression to Oscar-worthy levels. As for grand plan and a big scope. And according to my astrologiromance, here’s my prescription between now and October 2018: The more compassion you cultivate, the cal calculations, you will have even more ability than usual to be a driving force in such a project. Your power to inspire more personal love you will enjoy. If you lift your generosity to a higher octave, there’ll be another perk, too: and organize group efforts will be at a peak.

You will be host to an enhanced flow of creative ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): I predict your ambitions will burn more steadily in the coming months, and will LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Are you interested in diving produce more heat and light than ever before. You’ll down to explore the mysterious and evocative depths? have a clearer conception of exactly what it is you want Would you be open to spending more time than usual to accomplish, as well as a growing certainty of the cultivating peace and stillness in a sanctuary? Can you sense the rewards that will become available if you pay resources and help you’ll need to accomplish it. Hooray and hallelujah! But keep this in mind, Aquarius: As you reverence to influences that nurture your wild soul? I hope you’ll be working on projects like these in the com- acquire greater access to meaningful success—not just the kind of success that merely impresses other peoing weeks, Leo. You’ll be in a phase when the single ple—you’ll be required to take on more responsibility. most important gift you can give yourself is to rememCan you handle that? I think you can. ber what you’re made of and how you got made.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Louisa May Alcott wrote a novel entitled *A Long Fatal Love Chase,* which was regarded as too racy to be published until a century after her death. “In the books I read, the sinners are more interesting than the saints,” says Alcott’s heroine, Rosamund, “and in real life people are dismally dull.” I boldly predict that in the coming months, Virgo, you won’t provide evidence to support Rosamund’s views.

You’ll be even more interesting than you usually are, and will also gather more than your usual quota of joy and self-worth—but without having to wake up even once with your clothes torn and your head lying in a gutter after a night of forlorn debauchery.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): What’s your top conspiracy theory? Does it revolve around the Illuminati, the occult group that is supposedly plotting to abolish all nations and create a world government? Or does it involve the stealthy invasion by extraterrestrials who are allegedly seizing mental control over human political leaders and influencing them to wage endless war and wreck the environment? Or is your pet conspiracy theory more personal? Maybe you secretly believe, for instance, that the difficult events you experienced in the past were so painful and debilitating that they will forever prevent you from fulfilling your fondest dream. Well, Pisces. I’m here to tell you that whatever conspiracy theory you most tightly embrace is ready to be disproven once and for all.

Are you willing to be relieved of your delusions?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): A woman I know, Caeli La, was thinking about relocating from Denver to Brooklyn.
