“WAKING HISTORY”

I was slightly amused at the story in the Reporter of the house on the corner of Grant and Johnson. It’s a nice fable for Hallowe’en, but it is tragically short on facts.

It was built by my grandmother, Ada Peacock Moore, who came to Santa Fe from Doylestown, Pennsylvania, in 1897.

Her husband, William Hayes Moore, was a Presbyterian minister in Doylestown but when he contracted tuberculosis he accepted a call to First Presbyterian Church here in Santa Fe, hoping to be cured of the disease. He died in 1904.

Widowed at a young age with three young girls to raise, Ada was a remarkable woman ahead of her time—an early entrepreneur with lots of courage and vision.

The lot was purchased by her in 1906 for $100 from AB Renehan and Zepora G Renehan. The house was built sometime before 1912 (the 1911 tax assessment was $150 for an empty lot; the 1912 tax assessment was $1,060 for lot and house). The 1908 Sanborn [Company] map shows a vacant lot; [NL] King’s map of 1912 shows a house on the corner. It was built to be a rooming house (certainly no “mansion” as claimed in the article).

A graduate of the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music, Ada taught piano in the house, taught at the Presbyterian mission school, and took in roomers in order to support her and her daughters.

My mother, Mary (1902-1972), was the youngest of the three daughters and lived on the third floor of the house until she got married in 1932. Fresh out of high school, she became the office manager at the Santa Fe Electric Laundry. Ada suffered a stroke in 1937 and was essentially an invalid until she died in 1944. A bedroom was built for her on the first floor of the house where there had been a sleeping porch.

Not Done Yet As the NM Public Education Department promises new science standards, it quietly guts history and health requirements 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

I

n its latest stunning rewrite of classroom learning, New Mexico’s Public Education Department has deleted from its recommended final exams such topics as landmark civil rights events, Roe v. Wade, immunization benefits and the dropping of atomic bombs during World War II. The news comes after the department’s about-face last week following an outcry by parents, educators, scientists and activists over a plan to pull mentions of climate change, evolution and the age of the Earth from the Next Generation Science Standards.

Now, it’s revisions to end-of-course assessments in history and health.

The EOCs, as they’re called, are used to measure student success rates for teacher evaluations and can, in some cases, impact school grades.

Education Secretary Designate Christopher Ruszkowski, who made his science decision on Oct. 24, was quoted saying “what gets measured, gets done.”

The implications of that maxim in New Mexico classrooms are profound.

The department’s published requirements for US history courses have stricken knowledge of Rosa Parks and Malcolm X, as well as Roe v. Wade. Gone are measurements of students’ knowledge of trusts and trust busting, the role of banks in the Great Depression, and many requirements for knowledge of the Progressive Era. Assessments for New Mexico history classes stop measuring understanding of nuclear weapons and the Cold War arms race. They delete required knowledge of the impeachment process in the state, study of the executive branch and its powers, and even basic knowledge of how a bill becomes a law.

World history requirements no longer include the demise of slavery as a part of the Industrial Revolution.

Taiwan’s split from China and Egyptian unrest are also not required learning.

In a state with a widely publicized diabetes problem, end-of-course

measurements in health classes delete references to nutrition, healthy food choices and alcohol abuse. Knowledge of emotional and physical changes during puberty will no longer be required learning. Nor will students be asked to learn about immunizations.

State Rep. G Andrés Romero, a social studies teacher at Atrisco Heritage Academy high school and Democrat from Albuquerque, bemoaned the changes to history assessments during a recent meeting of the interim Legislative Education Study Committee.

“They say teachers are free to teach the rest,” Romero told SFR, “but at the end of the day when you have highstakes teacher evaluations that take into account student scores on these tests, what standards are going to be prioritized?”

End-of-course assessments don’t draw the level of scrutiny that standards do. They tell teachers what will be evaluated at the end of the course, though, and thus influence what’s most likely to be taught. Education experts say it’s an under-the-radar approach to changing what students learn that places the onus on teachers and school districts to retsore controversial exclusions. By allowing classroom instruction on topics that won’t be measured, the department can absolve itself of criticism that it has outlawed teaching, while knowing it’s far less likely to be taught in the test-driven classrooms of modern-day education.

“What Rep. Romero and his colleagues at his high school in Albuquerque were doing is what districts all over the state do,” National Education Association spokesman Charles Goodmacher told SFR after the hearing. “They double-check to make sure that what’s being measured by the state is what they’re teaching in the classroom.”

Lida Alikhani, PED spokeswoman, argues via email that EOCs have been changed for two primary reasons: The subject is already covered in a different assessment or in a different way in the same assessment, or topics are part of a rotating list that might change again in a future year. Alikhani again refused to make Ruszkowski available for an interview.

Mediocrity POJOAQUE VALLEY RESIDENTS, OTHERS IN NEW MEXICO SUFFER FROM POOR CELL, INTERNET SERVICE

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

S

ondra Sage toppled six feet from a collapsed ladder, then crawled, her legs tangled in broken metal, until her spouse found her. She didn’t arrive at the emergency room until almost two hours later. The doctor in Santa Fe asked why she didn’t call an ambulance.

Her response: She couldn’t.

That’s because she doesn’t have cell service at her Pojoaque Valley home and she hasn’t had a landline for two years—not necessarily by choice.

Sage, 58, grew up 90 miles from Oklahoma City on a farm where her landline worked even in extreme weather. Today she can’t get service 12 miles north of Santa Fe. In February, the cell signal went dark. She pays Verizon $85 a month for the privilege of driving to Santa Fe to make a phone call.

Sage moved to the Pojoaque Valley in 2010 for a more sustainable lifestyle, but developing health issues and the lack of service make remote living a challenge. She’s tried selling her home, but potential buyers opt out when she doesn’t answer or return their calls promptly.

“I’d really just like to get the hell out of New Mexico as soon as possible,” she says.

Sage says her service was decent before the signal dropped to zero bars early this year. Verizon told her it was a terrain issue, but if topography was the problem she would never have had service in the first place.

She cancelled her landline and internet service with CenturyLink two years ago after all services were out for an entire winter. A representative told her CenturyLink had no plans to update old infrastructure. Sage gave up arguing with Verizon and CenturyLink after complaining to the Better Business Bureau, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission and the Federal Communication Commission with no effective result.

is to live in an isolated area with no phone service. Her experience is common, SFR found. While people become increasingly dependent on their devices, rural New Mexicans can’t get up to speed despite legislative efforts to fix the problem.

The cost of providing adequate connectivity hinders the state’s access to broad cell service and internet speeds other places achieved long ago. Not only is

the web an important educational tool, but it’s necessary for some people’s careers. If New Mexico, which ranks near the bottom nationally for internet connectivity speeds, isn’t competitive with other states, people will leave.

Verizon is the main cell carrier serving the Pojoaque Valley. Even in the face of numerous complaints, the company has no plans to address quality of service issues. Although a cell tower site on Highway 502 on property owned

by Pojoaque Valley Schools is planned, the project isn’t near construction and no others are on the immediate horizon, Verizon Public Relations Manager Jeannine Brew tells SFR. The chatter on a neighborhood internet forum shows growing outrage over cell coverage. Detailed complaints fill the message board, and a handful of residents contacted SFR to complain.

Deborah Steven, who lives a few miles west of the Pojoaque Valley at San Ildefonso Pueblo, says her cellphone began dropping calls on Christmas Day last year. As for the internet, Steven can’t even open an e-mail.

“I live 14 miles from where they invented the freaking atomic bomb and I can’t get internet access,” she says.

State Rep. Carl Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, says he doesn’t even attempt to make a call from his Pojoaque Valley home anymore. Trujillo says bad service persists in areas like the Pojoaque Valley because companies don’t want to serve places with property right-ofway issues. Companies must obtain permission to put infrastructure on federal, state and tribal land, and they would rather provide service where they don’t have to pay an easement fee, he says. An intermix of four tribal territories and federal land makes the Pojoaque Valley an undesirable location for service carriers.

The national picture for connectivity in rural areas is just as bleak as it is in Pojoaque Valley and neighboring areas in New Mexico.

According to the FCC’s 2016 Broadband Progress Report, 39 percent of rural Americans (23 million people) lack access to 25 Mbps/3 Mbps, while only 4 percent of urban Americans lack access to the same speed.

You could download 15 songs in about four seconds with that speed.

New Mexico is ranked 41st in the nation for broadband speed.

lowest in terms of internet speed and access for decades.

New Mexico’s dispersed population adds to the challenge of providing reliable service. Joaquin Luna, former president of USCarrier Telecom, LLC, says you’d have to run many miles of fiber optic cable across the state’s nearly 400-mile-square expanse to get service to every household.

He says fiber optic is the only technology that can support the current bandwidth demand. But infrastructure can cost anywhere from $20,000 to $200,000 per mile, then $10,000 a year for maintenance. If a mile of cable provides service to two houses and the company charges $50 a month, the company collects $100 a month.

“No company that has the return value of shareholders is going to jump in a state like New Mexico and spend a bunch of money to get service to people out in the middle of nowhere,” he says.

New Mexico ranked 41st in the nation for broadband speed this year, according to a study by the New America Foundation, Google Open Source Research and Princeton University. The average time it takes to download a movie in New Mexico is an hour and six minutes. You could download a movie twice as quick in the smallest state in the nation, Rhode Island.

Luna gave an example of how far behind New Mexico is, technology-wise.

USCarrier set up Verizon’s fourth-generation (4G) broadband network in Atlanta in 2009, while New Mexico didn’t get 4G until 2014, he says.

Luna says the only way to get efficient broadband to rural areas is government funding.

Past efforts have fallen short, he adds. In 2009, then-President Obama distributed $7 billion for rural broadband as part of an economic recovery package—but, Luna says, “Seven billion dollars in the telecommunication world might as well be a dollar.”

Another way to develop broadband in New Mexico would be to repurpose the Universal Service Fund, a tax program originally created in part to service landlines in rural areas. State Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, sponsored a bill during this year’s legislative session mandating 60 percent of the state Universal Fund to go toward rural broadband development.

“Instead of money going into a dying technology, the money is now being directed to high-speed broadband services in rural parts of New Mexico,” Padilla says.

In 2018, the New Mexico Public Regulation Commission will begin taking applications for funding for broadband projects.

Among broadband legislation passed this year were laws that make requirements less stringent for service providers. Large providers used to have to report on the performance of their network statewide, but now they won’t be as heavily monitored. Consumer protection standards also are gone, along with the PRC’s ability to audit companies.

And rural residents aren’t the only ones peeved at Verizon. Santa Fe’s city Finance Committee stalled discussion on a major contract with the provider over service lags. That means smaller players might have an in: Sage changed her service from Verizon to Boost Mobile on Oct. 17. She finally gets service at her home in the Pojoaque Valley.

“I am relieved beyond words,” she says. “While there is a part of me that wishes Verizon’s executives could experience a bit of what we have suffered, even I could not wish that horrible trip to the hospital on anyone else. I am still uncertain how they can sleep at night knowing how they are misleading customers and placing people at risk.”

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.

Making Babies Advocates say study on black infant mortality and pregnancy in NM can serve as a model for the country

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

I

t wasn’t until Nandi Hill’s son was born too early and too small that she learned how perilous pregnancies can be for black mothers and their infants.

“That fueled my passion to do this work,” says Hill, the only black midwife in New Mexico licensed to assist in live births at her office and in homes. “I did not know when I birthed my son 16 and a half years ago that he was a statistic; that that is common.”

Hill sees mothers of all races at her office in Albuquerque, but recognizes that black women have particularly dire needs.

While there are only around 52,000 black people in the whole state of New Mexico, comprising 2.5 percent of the overall population, black infants die at a rate at least twice as high as all non-black infants, mirroring national trends. These trends cut across income and education levels for black women, undermining antiquated and racist ideas that their lifestyles choices are to blame for pregnancy problems.

More recent studies have pinned higher rates of infant mortality and black mothers’ deaths on environmental factors like barriers to health care and racisminduced stress. Across the country, in response to a growing rate of infant

mortality and pregnancy-related deaths among black mothers, reproductive advocates are working with local health providers and getting the word out to mothers who could benefit from prenatal services that research shows lead to healthier birth outcomes.

In a legislative sense, New Mexico has been slightly further ahead of the curve than other states, in part thanks to lobbying from the state’s Office of African-American Affairs. In 2014, the Legislature passed a law directing the OAAA to create a pilot program to track and address infant mortality and maternal health in Bernalillo County. Sunshine Muse, the program leader, says the reason black infant mortality in New Mexico is on par with other parts of the country is because similar anti-blackness sentiment exists here, and is exacerbated by a small population size.

Structural racism, she says, is “such a rampant part of our American culture, and I think sometimes when you add invisibility to that, which can happen with such a small population, it’s experienced even as another layer of [oppression].”

The law didn’t specify how the OAAA should deliver prenatal care to mothers nor did it track its use, and no money was initially allocated for it. It took prodding from constituents for the governor’s office to finally pony up $50,000 to fund the study directly. An additional $35,000 was

put up by the OAAA, totaling far less than the $250,000 the office had originally requested.

Muse explains that the original intent was to enroll mothers of any race into a program informed by the CenteringPregnancy model, which emphasizes prenatal care in group settings for women to meet with each other and medical staff.

Recruitment efforts proved more difficult than anticipated; despite outreach efforts and numerous institutional partnerships, including with the University of New Mexico and March of Dimes, only six mothers wound up participating, one of whom was a black mom who drove down to Albuquerque from Santa Fe. “It’s hard enough to find black people, because think about how many you’ve seen in the last week,” Muse says. “Then you got to find black women, then you got to find black pregnant women. Every iteration makes the number smaller and smaller.”

One silver lining to the low number of participants was that it revealed how few people are aware of disparities in birth outcomes. Based on that insight, the pi-

lot program team administered an online survey to gauge women’s knowledge of prenatal services and pregnancy experience. In total, 65 pregnant women responded, a little over half of whom identified as black or African American.

The team found that, among other things, a disparity exists between black and non-black women in knowledge of prenatal services. For example, black pregnant women were less likely to know about doula services than their white counterparts, despite a long history of midwifery and other pre- and post-natal care provided by black women in the South. Women of all races were unaware that some prenatal services are covered by insurers, including Medicaid.

Rongal Nikora, an assistant professor of political science at Beloit College who served as the lead research consultant for the pilot program, told lawmakers at a recent meeting of the interim Legislative Health and Human Services Committee that any program to reverse the outcomes for black mothers in New Mexico could serve as a model for other regions. He admitted the sample size of the survey was too small to draw definitive conclusions, but expressed confidence in future efforts.

“If we had the will to get our arms around this small population and figure out what might be happening, New Mexico might be a template for other communities struggling to figure out what’s going on there,” Nikora told state senators at the hearing.

The OAAA is due to prepare a proposed budget for a follow-up program by Nov. 17. The team wants to expand the CenteringPregnancy model to other parts of the state and interview black mothers who have lost infants during childbirth, among other goals.

Muse, who was also at the hearing, says any future funding will illuminate critical information about a population too often overlooked.

“Having our [population] numbers delegate us to a place of statistical insignificance is not an option,” she says.

he night began in remembrance as several members of the liberation organization called The Red Nation took turns reading aloud a statement about the young Diné (Navajo) freedom fighter Larry Casuse. Their words evoked a time when Gallup thrived on a predatory liquor industry.

In 1973, the town counted nearly 40 alcohol vending establishments. As David Correia, associate professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico has noted, a 1956 law limited liquor stores to one per 2,000 people. With 39 open, Gallup had exceeded the limit by a staggering number of 32. As alcohol sales went virtually unchecked, “police made 800 public drunkenness arrests per month,” according to The Red Nation’s statement, and that “Diné men and women were frequently found dead in ditches from hit-and-runs or exposure.”

I listened to this harrowing account of the town’s history alongside an audience of Native and non-Native activists and attendees. It’s hard to say how many were there that night, but The Red Nation’s second annual Native Liberation Conference on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1 drew a crowd sizable enough to fill Gallup’s Downtown Conference Center. According to organizers, hundreds of people attended over its two-day run. The event took place just weeks after anti-Entrada protests on the Santa Fe Plaza spearheaded by the group ended in eight arrests and a battery of misdemeanor and felony charges.

This year marks The Red Nation’s third anniversary. Founded in Albuquerque in 2014, the organization’s first rally took place in July of that year on the corner of Wyoming Boulevard and Central Avenue.

It was in remembrance of Allison “Cowboy” Gorman and Kee “Rabbit” Thompson, two homeless Diné men who were tortured and killed by three teenagers while sleeping in an empty lot. Hope Alvarado, who’s lived on the Mescalero Apache and Comanche reservations, first made contact with The Red Nation’s co-founders Melanie K Yazzie and Nick Estes at that event. At the time, Alvarado was unsheltered, a term The Red Nation uses instead of homeless, and a student at UNM. Now a junior in Native American studies and an active participant in the organization’s leadership, Alvarado looked back on that meeting as pivotal in her growth as a revolutionary.

Estes and Yazzie were both doctoral students in the American Studies department at UNM, where they were conducting research with faculty members on reservation border towns. Yazzie is currently an assistant professor of gender and sexuality studies at the University of California, Riverside, and Estes is a research fellow at the Charles Warren Center at Harvard University. This activist and academic work, as well as participation with UNM’s KIVA Club, was elemental to the group’s founding and it has since grown to include Native and non-Native activists, educators, students and community organizers all working on the Indigenous left. Moreover, the organization’s website (therednation.org) has become a clearinghouse of information dedicated to their various campaigns.

When The Red Nation made frontpage news in Santa Fe for its role in organizing this year’s anti-Entrada protest, its presence became much more public. But most media discourse about this grassroots organization had the unfortunate effect of collapsing a broad and visionary liberation platform into a single issue defined by a single tactic: protest.

According to its website, The Red Nation “emerged to address the marginalization and invisibility of Native struggles within mainstream social justice organizing, and to confront the targeted destruction and violence towards Native life and land.” The Red Nation isn’t,

instrumental in creating Indigenous Peoples’ Day in Albuquerque.

IN THE NAME OF LARRY CASUSE On the first night of the Native Liberation Conference, the figure and memory of Larry Casuse hung like a specter. It was a melancholy invocation and call to reflect upon the organization and other Indigenous activists’ place within a long lineage of predecessors. It was also an act of bearing witness, of getting woke to the complex circumstances around Casuse’s life and death.

On March 1, 1973, Casuse, then president of the University of New Mexico KIVA Club, and Robert Nakaidinae kidnapped the mayor of Gallup, Emmett Garcia, owner of one of the most profitable liquor stores in town, the Navajo Inn. Garcia had profited wildly from selling alcohol while ironically serving as the chairman of a Gallup-based alcohol abuse and rehabilitation project.

He had also, in January of that year, been sworn in by Gov. Bruce King as a regent at UNM. At the hearing on the university’s main campus, Casuse was a fierce opponent of Garcia’s nomination where he stated that the “Navajo Inn was where numerous alcoholics were born,” because Garcia had “abused” the sale of alcohol. Garcia was, in Casuse’s words, a “false person.”

Just two months after the nomination was made Lawyer Barry Klopfer commissioned artist Ric Sarracino official, Casuse and Nato paint Larry Casuse on a downtown Gallup planter, but the city removed it in April after a complaint. kaidinae marched Garcia at gunpoint two blocks down the street from City in other words, a one-trick pony.

on the event. Closer to home, the Gallup Independent reported that the coroner had deemed Casuse’s death a suicide, a ruling that remains suspect given the state police’s use of force that early March morning. Today his death remains hotly contested. The circumstances surrounding Casuse’s death could very well point to foul play. In the Independent’s accompanying photograph, police officers stood over Casuse’s lifeless body. Another person described the image as “incredibly disrespectful” with officers “brandishing rifles” as if the young activist’s body was a “trophy kill.”

reservations through such policies as the Dawes Act. Specifically, it was the forced removal of 8,000 Diné from Dinetah, their ancestral homeland, to Fort Sumner in 1864 that helped clear the path for Anglo homesteading in the West. By 1868, however, the reservation at Fort Sumner proved a failure, and the US government allowed the Navajo to return, but only after nearly 3,000 deaths and a financial blow to the US treasury. Following their return, trading posts and mercantile stores acted as the de facto centers on and off reservations where government rations such as sugar, coffee and flour were exchanged for handmade textiles, sheep’s wool, and later, sand paintings.

Today, an inordinate amount of payday lenders, pawnshops and trading posts line Gallup’s main drag, all modern-day bro-

BORDER TOWN VIOLENCE Why hold the Native Liberation conference in Gallup? After hearing the story of Casuse, who died only blocks away from where the conference was held, and later attending panels on settler colonial violence in border towns, the choice appeared UTAH to be fitting; it was and remains a nexus of interconnected struggles emergent since the founding fathers of the town first set up shop on lands once and still counted as Zuni and Diné. Yet, to most outsiders, Gallup’s dark underbelly goes unseen, eclipsed by a hyper-visible tourist market targeting anyone looking for a piece of the “Old West.” Undeniably, trading posts are the most visible of these tourist traps.

kers of this ongoing project of Manifest Destiny and uneven bartering. According to Leonard Gorman, executive director of the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission, small loans at the area’s payday establishments and pawnshops signify $16 million worth of debt, of “which a super majority are loans to Navajo citizens.”

It’s not uncommon for a pawnshop to mark up a Diné family heirloom, such as a woven basket, by 3,000 percent. And with 50 percent of the Diné people living under the poverty line, the individual Diné seller, as Yazzie pointed out, most likely uses the very small profit for “basic necessities like food and diapers.”

Gallup’s history of alcohol sales falls squarely within the town’s longstanding predatory economy. With a population of about 22,000, little has changed since

1973 when Casuse died; there is one liquor establishment for every 500 people. As a result, alcoholism runs rampant in the town, but instead of approaching it as a human rights crisis, drunkenness is often considered a crime, especially when it comes to Native people; the drunk tank where they are sent is “fetid and disgusting,” a place “where nonIndians would never go,” according to Barry Klopfer, a lawyer from Gallup who spoke at the conference. In the words of The Red Nation’s No Dead Natives: The Gallup Report, “rather than help those in need, local law enforcement, community service aids and private security all too often antagonize and selectively target, detain and arrest those they perceive as COLORADO Gallup’s criminal element— the poor and unsheltered, the stereotypical ‘drunk Indian,’ or what they pejoratively call ‘transients’ and ‘inebriates.’”

Gallup thus epitomizes a “border town.” Giving it that designation doesn’t seem intuitive because of the way our American mental maps Los Alamos work. Typically, when this word comes to mind, we deSanta Fe fault to speaking of places like Juarez, Tijuana, or Reynosa— Rio Rancho towns and cities that reside Albuquerque along the US-Mexico border.

lence as order.”

State violence can come in many forms, from the use of lethal force to the daily police persecution of Native peoples who are experiencing homelessness. Yet, as Correia explained via email, mainstream media outlets have little interest in reporting on border town violence or police brutality against Native people. After pitching stories to a number of national outlets, Correia, who counts himself as an ally of The Red Nation, came “up against the most amazing indifference.” Correia, along with Yazzie and Denetdale, spoke at the Navajo Nation Human Rights Commission’s October 2017 investigation of Winslow Police Officer Austin Shipley’s fatal shooting of Tsingine. Denetdale is currently the chair of the NNHRC. Anti-Indigenous policing is writ large in a broader culture of police brutality against poor people and people of color,

tions. It’s a form of strategic amnesia, a willful forgetting of the US occupation of Indigenous lands. It’s also a basic American truism that our mental maps, and even our national ones, rarely delineate where the sovereign lands of Indigenous peoples begin and end. But it’s not as if we haven’t physically traversed these spaces; if you’re a driver going almost anywhere in New Mexico, you will likely cross in and out of Native lands. In this way, thinking of Gallup as a border town requires a shift in our conceptions of national boundaries, and how we— mostly settlers—orient ourselves and others in space.

Jennifer Nez Denetdale, Diné scholar and associate professor of American Studies at UNM, studies border towns. In her writing on the subject, border towns refer to the semi-urban and urban spaces that sit just outside Native reservations. In the Settler Colonial Studies Blog (settlercolonialstudies.org), Denetdale describes: “Because of land dispossession, the processes of capitalism, and ethnic cleansing, In-digenous peoples’ defining experiences have included displacement, relocation and migration into urban spaces,” including Gallup, Albuquerque, Farmington, and Grants. This displacement is little recognized on its own terms. In the mainstream, it is also far less recognized that border towns are marked by anti-Indigenous brutality. In Denetdale’s research and lived experience, border towns are known to be “hyperviolent spaces for Native people.”

Violence in border towns shakes out in many different ways: “Indian rolling,” or the Hispanlynching of Native people by Hispan ics and Anglos, as in the murder of the two Diné men in Albuquerque; or in the high rates of police harassment and fatal shootings of Native people, including Loreal Tsingine in Winslow, Arizona, on Easter Sunday in 2016. According to Denetdale, Correia and The Red Nation, police brutality against Indigenous people and Indian rolling are part of a longstanding history of settler violence.

In the case of the former, as Correia described it, American “structures of law are always designed to depict state vio-

all deemed “expendable,” in Denetdale’s estimation. Those who are suffering from alcoholism and mental health crises are also unduly targeted; the latter is especially true in Albuquerque, where the Department of Justice ruled in 2014 that its police department had a pattern of using excessive force on persons with mental illness. It was in part because of police brutality that The Red Nation

first formed. The behaviors and policies that are specifically anti-Indigenous fall under what the organization has called “anti-Indian common sense,” the taken-for-granted idea that Native people don’t belong in urban spaces. In Estes’ words, “Native people in [Albuquerque] experience anti-Indian common sense as an everyday thing.” For Yazzie, it’s also a matter of comportment. “Indians who sell you art and culture for consumption are considered well-behaved and acceptable,” she said. “They don’t challenge the economic exploitation that makes border towns tick.” And when Native people don’t comport themselves accordingly, Yazzie says, “‘anti-Indian common sense’ morphs to ‘discipline Native people anew.’”

If border towns operate along theses lines, it probably has something to do with the lack of Indigenous representation in city governance. In Gallup this is especially problematic if you take into account that at least 40 percent of the town’s population is Native. “Seventy cents of every Navajo dollar,” Denetdale further explained, is spent in Gallup. Essentially, this kind of spending outside of the Navajo Nation for basic needs, right down to water, ends up “flooding [Gallup’s] economy with gross receipts,” as Klopfer said by phone. Still, “most of the power [in Gallup] is centered around elected officials,” all of whom are white or hispanic.

Klopfer believes this has historically meant that there is “no alignment with Indigenous demographics” on political issues. Yazzie framed it in even more poignant terms: “The Navajo Nation is represented at the United Nations, yet Gallup treats us like second class citizens; like we’re a nuisance.”

BORDER TOWN RESISTANCE To answer the question “why Gallup?” is to think about how structures of colonial dispossession impact the everyday lives of people. In America, this basic truth often gets disavowed—or worse, repressed.

Yet, colonial dispossession manifests everywhere to shape a collective reality that is always being made and remade, even as its horrors are repressed by narratives of US patriotism. Colonialism is America’s unconscious, raging up in anti-Indian common sense.

superseding [Eurocentric] ideas.” As he continued, Benallie relayed how Gallup was an epicenter of Indigenous liberation. In the 1960s, the National Indian Youth Council was founded there. And after Casuse’s death, two protests took place on its streets: The first had 500 people; the second, 1,000. Bringing the Native Liberation Conference to Gallup, after taking place in Albuquerque in 2016, was an act of “reanchoring,” of “recentering the struggle for liberation in its rightful place,” as Yazzie later explained.

We don’t seek to call our people out. We seek to call them into the struggle for liberation.

-Hope Alvarado, The Red Nation member

The story doesn’t end at colonialism.

Rather, history is filled with clapbacks, prolonged instances of Native liberation struggles and direct action protests, both of which have impacted the present shape of history in equal measure. Therefore, if Gallup is a nexus of interrelated struggles, it is “also a birthplace of Native resistance,” in the words of Brandon Benallie, a lead organizer with The Red Nation.

A graduate of MIT and currently a chief information security officer, Benallie was “introduced to Eurocentric philosophies through the underground security culture.” Benallie later realized that “Diné philosophies of land and place taught me those same things, complementing or

In the spirit of mutual aid and compassion for the marginalized that guides The Red Nation’s philosophy of community engagement, the Native Liberation Conference was open and free to the public and directed at those interested in finding out more about The Red Nation, or simply “curious about movements for Indigenous liberation,” as the agenda stated.

It was here where I first heard the term “border town” in the context of Indigeneity.

The organizers of the two-day event offered hotel accommodations for any unsheltered people and delivered a wide range of panels addressing sexual health on the reservation, the recent opening of

the K’é Infoshop in Window Rock, building Native/Chicanx alliances, fracking around Chaco Canyon from the Diné and Pueblo Youth Alliances, and thinking about solidarity between Indigenous sovereign nations and other occupied nations, such as Palestine. Many presenters were working on behalf of their own organization and not necessarily under The Red Nation umbrella. But all, as it became clear, worked under the impression that radical coalition-building across struggles is essential.

The conference resulted in Gallup establishing its own chapter of The Red Nation, which is proof for Yazzie and others that the Indigenous liberation movement is growing. It also fostered awareness of anti-Indigenous brutality and effective resistance, while building strong bonds of solidarity with Indigenous and non-Indigenous folks struggling for their own liberation from oppression. This is what solidarity looks like. It is, in Estes’ words, “about using your body as a vehicle, putting it on the street, or writing a letter … and standing behind other oppressed groups of people.”

On the day of the Entrada protests in Santa Fe, Hope Alvarado’s voice rang through the streets; her chants not only objected to the Entrada, but also supported DACA and undocumented communities, Trans Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter, No DAPL and Chaco Canyon. The protest was, on the last point, a particularly timely “platform for Chaco,” a site held sacred by Diné and Pueblo peoples, and a very calculated way of speaking publicly about the urgency of fracking in Dinetah.

For Alvarado, as well as other members of The Red Nation, “all institutional violence is connected. We don’t seek to call our people out. We seek to call them into the struggle for liberation.”

COURTESY OF CHRISTINE GONZALES

Huntress Women’s hunting organization aims for more than just adding women in the field

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

T

he first time Christine Gonzales joined an elk hunt, she went just to observe. She’d started working at the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish in the IT department, a computer programmer who transferred from Tax and Revenue.

She’d fished a couple times as a kid with an uncle, but never really got attached.

Working for Game and Fish sparked an interest in wildlife that led to wildlife viewing with a cousin, and then trout fishing with a friend who would catch the fish and hand her the rod to reel it in. She took courses the department offered on personal safety with handguns and shotguns, and started shooting clay pigeons. Then the opportunity came to join a hunt.

“I tagged along just as a observer because I never thought I’d be able to take an animal,” she says.

She was right there, giving one of the hunters directions on what she thought were elk, she recalls: “I heard a blast and felt my stomach drop out of my belly—‘Oh, now he killed an animal and it’s my fault.’”

Some elk turned and ran up the mountain toward where she was sitting, stopped when they saw her, and turned another direction. She told herself: “That’s why you’re here—you said you were going to help and you wanted the experience.”

As the hunters processed the elk, they

told her to stand back and not to touch the carcass, but she reached a hand out anyway.

“I really wanted to see what it felt like, so I stuck my hands in there, and they didn’t realize whose hands they were handing the piece of meat to,” she says. “And I just remember thinking, ‘Ah! It’s still warm,’ then I looked at it and thought, ‘Hey, it’s no different than what you get at the grocery store.’”

Soon, she was hunting rabbits and turkeys, working her way up toward deer and elk, first to watch, then carrying her own shotgun.

“It was just kind of a gradual process for me, but then it was game-on—‘I’ll try that,’” she says.

One of her first takes was a oryx, a once-in-a-lifetime tag she drew as a hunting safety instructor for the department. She’d begun teaching in part to give back to the hunting community, but also to be a female presence in a room often full of men. When she took that first hunter safety course, the only other woman present was attending as part of a couple. She’s been instructing now for just over a decade.

Most of the time, she says, she’s the minority. According to the National Wildlife Federation, women comprise just 25 percent of anglers and 20 percent of hunters, but their numbers are growing fast. In May, the federation launched Artemis, named for the Greek goddess of the hunt, to organize and recruit sports-

women. New Mexico native Gonzales was recruited as one of its founders.

“It’s not just about getting women out there hunting and fishing, although that is something that we want to do,” she says. “It’s also advocating and being a female voice out there for why it’s important to keep our public lands and waters healthy and available to everybody to enjoy.”

With national monuments at risk of being downsized, women need to mobilize, she says—because if monuments aren’t safe, who’s to say national forests and BLM lands won’t be next?

“It’s about advocating—and I mean living the life, really living that lifestyle of hunting and fishing, and why is it important to you?” Gonzales says. “Why is it important to bring your kids up with that kind of environment? What’s going to happen if those public lands and public waters disappear?”

This September saw her bow-hunting deer in the Jemez, hiking through the forest 11 of the 24 days of her season. She’s been hooked on archery since her second year with it, when she took a 10-point buck—“a beautiful buck,” she says. “For a second year of archery hunting, couldn’t ask for anything better than that.”

This fall, private land and an absence of clean shot opportunities prevented her from filling her freezer or restocking the hair and feathers she uses when she ties her own flies, though she was among deer every day.

“It was great to be able to see them—it was a great experience,” she says. “Just being out there, enjoying the scenery— sunrises, sunsets are spectacular. … It’s just nice to be out there.”

Theatrical Relevance Sinclair Lewis work gets the staged reading treatment Generally speaking, when monsters rise to power, arts and culture answer the call to up its game—both in terms of new output and the revival of work that rings true across generations. Santa Fe Playhouse’s recent production of 1984 comes to mind most immediately, but the parallels don’t end there.

Enter the Adobe Rose Theatre and its upcoming staged reading of It Can’t Happen Here!, a play first adapted from the 1935 Sinclair Lewis novel of the same name in 1936. First off, “it” (namely, fascism) can and does happen here (and there and everywhere). The relatively lesser-known work from the author of The Jungle is so spot-on, it led the New York Times to declare in January of this year that it had basically predicted the age of Trump. Yikes.

In the play, newspaper editor Doremus Jessup recalls the mounting power of an authoritarian president who capitalizes on fear and military might to ensnare the American people in his labyrinth of hateful and paranoid leadership. It’s starkly familiar, even downright terrifying, and an apt forecast from an author who never could have known the mess we’d be in today.

Some things, it seems, are always scary.

“It’s just so damn timely,” says Kathy Flynn, the executive director of the Santa Fe chapter of the National New Deal Preservation Association, which sponsors the reading. “It’s a story of us getting a dictator for a president.” Flynn says the same production occurs in other cities across the country on the same day with similar casts. In Santa Fe, participants include local high school students as well as Santa Fe state Sen. Liz Stefanics and former Lensic Performing Arts Center executive director Bob Martin, who also directs.

Proceeds benefit the New Deal nonprofit, which works to maintain the legacy of FDR’s New Deal and its effects on American labor and culture. Of the show and its potential to open eyes and change minds, Flynn adds that she “has to believe it might do something. … I just feel like people need to hear it from a different source.” We won’t hold our breath for any particular change but, like Flynn, we just have to believe.

MUSIC

First Tracks XL 2: The Re-bone-en-ing

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

D

riving home from work lately has been hard. It’ll barely be past 5 pm and the darkness is already creeping in, the wintertime sadsies along with it. I love and hate this time of year. My sweaters are comfy, my seasonal affective disorder not as much. I think we’re all feeling that last gasp and attempting to cram as much goodness into our lives before we’re snowbound and heater-dependent. Thank goodness, then, for music.

To wit, local metal act Cripple just released an EP, and it is stunning. Former members of bands like YAR and Ol’ Dagger (and at least one current member of local metal mainstay Savage Wizdom) came together on this one for a thrashy metal sound that is familiar for those of us who’ve followed these guys, yet tighter than ever.

Maybe this is thanks to production from The Decibel Foundry’s Augustine Ortiz (seriously, this is about the best album I’ve heard him preside over) or just that the dudes in the band have really coalesced in stellar ways—most notably in the utterly jaw-dropping barrage of riffs, Fuck Your Comfort has become a regular in my rotation and it’s only been out about a week.

Jazz band OrnEtc. has a new record out, too, and while the thought of jazz usually makes my eyeballs roll so hard that it sounds like the crack of a bullwhip in

Smooth, even— the physical version of his debut, Always particularly on tracks like “Unfortunate Home, this month. It’s a little rough around Homes,” wherein the drums are so all over the edges, but I really liked it a few months the place (in a good way) it’s insane, or in back (Music, Sept. 5: “Going Dutch”). At the 10-minute opus “Twisted,” a Manci- the heart of Home lies positivity, though ni-meets-Coleman-like number that I it’s still got a raw edge that can sometimes wouldn’t be surprised to hit hard.

This is exciting comes with some sort of stuff, and ol’ Alex here LIKE THE liking jazz default posimay have been invited to tion. I’m scared, but you partake. But I’m sincerely CRACK OF A can see them for yourself curious—do I go at it with BULLWHIP IN at the album release this good-natured ribbing, or Saturday night at Skydo I really stick it to the A CAVERNOUS light (7 pm Saturday sonofabitch?

If you know anything WAREHOUSE Hip-hop newcomer embarrassing about Primm K.Dutch (who I thought or have any good ideas of because he’s also in about how to get slammin’,

lemme know: alex@sfreporter.com. I am serious (with special thanks to violinist Karina Wilson for already sending some good dirt my way). And Andy—I’m coming for you.

Me ’n’ my dumb friend Jasper ’n’ my buddy Tim and his wife all popped by Meow Wolf the other night to see poppunk quartet Joyce Manor. The band was tight, this is true, but the real magic of the night was in the sheer number of young folks (not only under 45 but, like, teenagers) who attended. Nice job, everyone involved.

Also this week, Albuquerque’s Heather Trost pops back into town for a performance at Second Street Brewery’s Rufina Taproom (8 pm Friday Nov. 4. $5.

2920 Rufina St., 954-1068) and she’s got local country-Western champ (and 2015 SFR Album of the Year winner) Greg Butera along for the ride. Now, I’m aware I’ve mentioned Trost a bunch in recent months, but it’s only because her music is so so good and her most recent album, Agistri, is so so fantastic. Those who caught her set at the recent Noise for Now benefit at the Santa Fe Opera alongside TV on the emmer-effing Radio know what I’m talking about. Butera is no slouch, either, you guys.

Later this month, The Replacements’ Tommy Stinson brings his new act, Cowboys in the Campfire, to Jono Manson’s Kitchen Sink Studio (7 pm Thursday Nov. 16. $20. 528 Jose St., 699-4323). I mention it early because seating at these things is very limited, so you may wanna get on that now. PS: If there’s a nicer guy than Manson out there, we’ve never met them.

I started a punk band with some dudes. So here’s a heads-up that we’re mediocre as hell and have no plans or expectations of stardom or even gaining fans or even having people sit through an entire set. I’ll let you know if and when we play if you want to come and heckle me, but you should know that I can play over three chords, so …

Finally, I was saddened to hear about the passing of musicians Micah Chappell and George Adelo. Not only were they musical titans around here, but everything we’ve heard from everyone who knew them has been overwhelmingly positive. Adelo’s son George III is a guy (and DJ) I’ve admired since basically forever and was kind enough to take my call the other day and tell me a little about his dad (who you can read about at sfreporter.com), and even though I was stuck working on the night of Chappell’s memorial show at The Underground, I’ve been told it was a fantastic sendoff for the guy. Let’s tell people we love them as much as we can.

See y’all next time.

Ghost Story Locally produced zine set to release this month

N O PA YT SA Y D N

A

s I sit down to write, “Marianne” by Tori Amos plays in the background. “And they said Marianne killed herself, and I said not a chance. … Why, why, why did she crawl down in the old deep ravine?” she sings. Bucket Siler, local writer and founder of Santa Fe Zine Fest, explains that the vision for her latest project, the illustrated story Pigtail Girls, started with this piece of music. The lyrics, steeped in melancholic mystery, are laden with imagery that Siler brings to life through her writing alongside the drawings of local artist Lindsay Payton.

As Siler describes in her synopsis, Pigtail Girls is “a uniquely dark, feminist fairy tale that balances horror, whimsy and violence.” Thirteen girls reside in an orphanage built on the edge of a ravine where a witch is rumored to live; the girls are forbidden to enter the chasm below their home, but each month another maiden disappears. In October, the maiden-gone-missing is Marianne and the story proceeds to unravel—we discover how she disappeared and whether or not she is still alive.

Siler drew from Greek and Irish mythology and folklore, such as the Celtic witch Cailleach Bhéara. This immediately sparked the interest of Payton, who shares that she is influenced by Hans Christian Anderson tales, the subtly sin-

ister illustrations of Edward Gorey and old fairytales. “When I read it, I felt a really strong connection to the style,” Payton tells SFR. “It’s a really dark visual picture and everything I want and look for when I read. It was immediately a ‘Yes! Can I do this?’”

While writing, Siler listened to “Marianne” over and over, and when Payton joined, she listened as well and slowly translated the tale into visuals. And

trations to inspire Siler to change certain aspects of the story. “It gave me a visual,” Siler says. “I already had an idea in my imagination, but it gave me a new vision.”

Further, she says, Pigtail Girls’ haunted imagery and prose pose questions about “resistance and submission, conformity and revolution,” all interspersed with breadcrumbs that lead back to Amos’ lyrics. This combination eschews traditional publication, but also pushes the parameters and margins of a traditional zine (an inexpensive, self-published booklet often created by independent artists and writers and generally shorter than a novella).

This surprised Siler, a constant zine creator and enthusiast, but she says she didn’t expect it to be a complete transition in her writing practice. “As this has gone on,” she continues, “I will probably trace this back as a real turning point for me that I didn’t at first expect or see.” Moving forward, she aims to further develop the story for conventional publication. “It’s asking for it,” she shares.

“All of the material is there just begging to be expanded upon.”

The release of the book itself, which was funded by a recent kickstarter. com campaign scheduled to run for 30 days—yet met its goal in four—now culminates with an event at Southside DIY venue Ghost. Buy limited edition prints of Pigtail Girls (a mere 200 copies!) and choose from Payton’s new and original artwork. Musicians, including PSIRENS, Lady Uranium and Scissor Lift, perform to help create an ethereal atmosphere complementary to the dark and sinister spirit of the tale.

though both artists were informed by the same tune, they pursued and absorbed the story through independent practice.

“I didn’t want to bring someone on as an extension of my hand and mind; I wanted them to have their own relationship to the story, to be really into it and excited about the project on their own,” Siler explains. “When I met Lindsay through a mutual friend, I gave her the story, but I didn’t give exact instruction—I said, ‘If this is exciting to you and an image comes to mind that you want to illustrate, do that.’”

Payton ran with it, creating imagery that doesn’t give away the story’s main events but instead conveys aspects that speak to her own interests. Such creative freedom even made space for the illus-

obtaining your consent in advance, HOT, and if he doesn’t recognize that he made a mistake and swear not to make a similar mistake in the future, well, then you’ll have to DTMFA.

I am a pretty handsome gay (I have been told) and I am dating a gorgeous man. I am 34, and he is 31. I am bottom only, and he is top only—so it’s a good match. He seems sincerely interested in me and we are talking about being together.

But here is the thing: He noticed that I have a rather small penis. I am under the average, and his dick is quite big and long. Since he discovered this, he fancies about “humiliating” me about my “small pee-pee.” He would even like me to show it to his friends. I am not ashamed of the size of my penis because it’s how I am made and I can’t change it. But I wonder what this idea means for him. I would somehow understand that he would put me down if he suffered from a “small dick complex,” but since he is so well-endowed, I don’t get it. Is it a common turn-on for some top guys to imagine that their partner is smaller than them? Does it hide something else maybe?

-Humiliated Over Tackle P.S. English is not my mother tongue. I apologize for this.

I don’t have a problem with your English—it’s doubtless better than my [insert your mother tongue here]—I have a problem with your potential boyfriend.

Small penis humiliation (SPH) is a kink popular enough to have spawned a porn genre.

There are more than 76,000 SPH-themed porn videos on XTube—and XTube is just one of the various porn tubes out there ruining everything for everyone. Over at PornHub, there are SPH videos with more than two million views. That’s all anecdote, not data, HOT, but it’s anecdote enough to confirm that, yes, small penis humiliation is definitely a thing. And it can be a very good thing for guys whose erotic imaginations transformed their anxieties about having small dicks into a kink they enjoy.

But you are not one of those guys. You like your dick fine, and you’ve got the exact right attitude about your dick—indeed, all men everywhere, regardless of size, should embrace their dicks the way you’ve embraced your own. Your dick is your dick, you can’t change it, and you shouldn’t be ashamed of it. And big or small, HOT, your dick has all the same nerve endings as that big and long thing on the guy who might be your boyfriend someday (but who’s definitely a presumptuous asshole right now).

As with most kinks—bondage, cuckolding, foot fetishes, diapers, pup play—subs/bottoms are way more common than Doms/tops. So it’s usually the guy with the small dick who initiates small penis humiliation games with his partner, HOT, not the boyfriend with the bigger dick and/ or the girlfriend with the pussy and/or the bigger dick. (Some women have dicks, all women can purchase strap-ons.) While there are SPH tops out there—just as there are bondage tops (half of whom are frustrated bondage bottoms)—their numbers are far smaller.

But the issue here isn’t stumbling over a rare small penis humiliation top in the wild, HOT, but whether or not you’re into it. Are you into power play? Do you like being degraded? Does the thought of this dude ordering you to show your dick to his friends—friends who presumably want to see your dick—turn you on in any way? If the answer is no, no, and FUCK NO, then tell your potential new boyfriend to stop making fun of your cock. If the answer is maybe, maybe, and maybe under the right circumstances, then talk it over with him and work out when, where, and how you’re willing to indulge his SPH kink.

If you stay with him, you’re also going to need to have a conversation about consent. SPH isn’t something you surprise someone with. Like most kinks, it requires advance discussion, the setting of limits, and the consent of both parties.

It’s worrisome that this guy didn’t bother with

I’m sorry to be graphic, but it can’t be avoided.

I’d like to have my fiancé come on my pussy and then have someone else lick it off. My two questions: (1) Does that fall in the realm of safe sex for the extra person involved? (2) How do we find that person? Is there an app to meet a third or how do we find swinger parties in our area?

Is that a degrading thing to ask someone to do?

-Personally Understands Serious Sexual Yearnings 1. Nope. Various sexually transmitted infections—gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, herpes, HPV, etc.—could be contracted by the extra person and/or passed on to you and your fiancé.

There’s low to no risk for HIV, PUSSY, but the act nevertheless falls outside the realm of safe sex.

Very little actually exists in the realm of purely safe sex. There’s always risk, we can mitigate for those risks, we can make sex safer, but save for solo and cyber, sex is rarely ever 100 percent safe.

2. This is technically three questions, PUSSY. You find that person by putting ads on hookup sites and/or by putting yourselves in places where you might meet that person, i.e., pick-up joints, sex parties, swingers clubs. There are lots of apps out there for couples seeking thirds, you can even advertise as a couple seeking a third on big dating sites like OkCupid. It is a degrading thing to ask someone to do—but since there are lots of people out there into erotic degradation, that’s a potential selling point.

I am in a relationship with a lovely and amazing man. Everything could be really good, if only his father would stop being a creep. He’s constantly telling me how beautiful, smart, and attractive I am. Last year around Christmas, I sang a few songs when we were visiting my boyfriend’s family, and his father commented that I have an “erotic” voice. A few days later, I received an e-mail from him. Attached was a poem about my singing, where he called my voice “angelic” and “pure.” It made me really uncomfortable and I told him that I don’t want to receive poems from him and that he should stop complimenting me all the time. He didn’t. When I told him again to stop commenting on my appearance, he responded that I must like myself very much.

I talked to my boyfriend’s mother, and she said she’s “given up” and ignores her husband’s behavior. It turns out that he behaved similarly with ex-girlfriends of my boyfriend’s brothers.

I’m so angry and don’t know what to do. My boyfriend supports me, but it’s hard to talk about the topic, because it’s his father.

-Fucking Annoyed That He Engrosses Rightfulness I’m curious what your boyfriend’s “support” looks like, FATHER. Does he tell you privately that his father is a creep and that he wishes his dad would knock this shit off? Or does he tell his father directly that he’s being a creep and insist he knock it off? The latter is support, the former is not.

I’m thinking there’s a reason your boyfriend’s brothers only have ex-girlfriends—you don’t speak of any currents, FATHER, a highly revealing detail—and it’s not just because their dad is a creep. It’s because no one in the family is willing to stand up to this creep. Not his wife, not his children. If your boyfriend refuses to run interference and/or shut his father down, I would advise you to join the list of exes. However “lovely and amazing” your boyfriend might be when you two are alone, if he’s useless in the face of his father’s sexual harassment, you’ll have to DTMFA too.

THE CALENDAR with Annette McGivney

COURTESY ANNETTE McGIVENEY

In her new book, Pure Land, author Annette McGivney chronicles the decade she spent covering Japanese hiker Tomomi Hanamure’s 2006 murder near the picturesque waterfalls on the Havasupai Reservation in the Grand Canyon. McGivney followed the case as Southwest regional editor for Backpacker Magazine. When Randy Wescogame, a Native man, was arrested for the killing, she began to sense she had more on her hands than a magazine article. At the time, McGivney couldn’t quite explain why she was so drawn to the story of Hanamure and Wescogame. Halfway through the writing, however, she came face-to-face with demons from her own past that tied her to the lives of both the victim and her killer.

We caught up with the Flagstaff-based author and journalist, who hopes to make a swing through New Mexico next year. Meanwhile, her book is in stock at Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse (202 Galisteo St., 988-4226) and op.cit Books (DeVargas Center, 157 Paseo de Peralta, 428-0321). (Matt Grubs) Journalists are often encouraged to keep a safe emotional distance from their subjects. Did you make a conscious choice to avoid that maxim or did it happen organically?

It was definitely organic and in some ways terrifying as it evolved. I’m very much a traditional journalist and never had any desire to write about myself. … I thought I was impervious. I’d trained myself so that whatever I was researching, I could let it roll off so that I could do my objective reporting. And I thought, ‘This story has gotten to me in ways I didn’t realize.’

When did you realize you had a book on your hands rather than an article for Backpacker?

From the moment I read the the first headline about Tomomi missing, I felt almost like a heartstring pulling. I know a lot of women who hike alone. I sort of had a desire to advocate for her. … But I knew I would not have a book unless I made it to [her family in] Japan.

One of the things New Mexico struggles with—as do many rural places in the Southwest—is access to mental health. Are you more aware of it now, or is mental health something that’s more of a personal awareness for you?

Definitely more aware on both levels. I’d spend like an hour a day exercising, but how many people spend an hour a day focusing on their mental health? ... It doesn’t take an extreme case of child abuse. Pretty much everybody has things they need to work on. …

I was an emotional zombie, thinking no feeling can bubble up because some of those memories might come with it. As a culture, we’re afraid to say it … but you carry those memories with you until you deal with them.

What an opening, right?

Ironweed Productions’ The Crucible starts out strong and, for the most part, continues that way. In playwright Arthur Miller’s tale of the 1692 Salem witch trials, something otherworldly afflicts Massachusetts. It started with Betty, who has fallen mysteriously ill—the work of a witch. Led by the teenager Abigail Williams (Tara Khozein), a cadre of schoolgirls begins accusing townspeople of witchcraft. The town descends into hysteria.

There is a danger with such a seminal work of wanting to research what scholars have said in answer to your musings.

Here, though, I’d urge you to simply watch the show—as I constantly had to urge myself to do throughout the evening. With

he sound of crickets permeated the large auditorium.

Tall structural columns have always been part of El Museo, but then, in the dim light, they became trees. The audience spoke quietly, somehow urged to hush without so much as a word from an actor.

The lights slowly dimmed. We heard singing. The sound of girls laughing and running moved from side to side around us. Finally, a shriek: The song dissolved into screams.

Silent hooded people swept in from all directions, down the aisles, and convened onstage in a tight circle, blocking view of a small bed. They stood for a moment—and, when they dispersed, young Betty Parris (Avonlea Ward) was catatonic under a quilt; her father Rev. Samuel Parris (Ste-

Pepe Le Pew

Pepe Le Pew is outgoing and rambunctious: he’d make an excellent farm friend or hiking partner. He’s always ready to go, anytime anywhere you ask him and he’s there! He is neutered already and he is about one and half years old. He was left in our overnight drop box. If you need a friend to keep things fun and exciting Pepe Le Pew is your boy — come on in and adopt him.

Lollipop

Lollipop is goofy and friendly.

She’s a young dog that enjoys running around the yard and playing with toys. She just wants to have fun – after all, that’s all girls really want! She is about 2 years old and great with other dogs. She is strong and energetic so she will be a great running or hiking partner. Please help us give her a second chance at a happy life.

The Second Street Brewery that opened in 2012 in the Santa Fe Railyard felt like a godsend—a downtown iteration of beers and better-than-average bar food from a long-loved local haunt. But as it turned out, we hadn’t seen anything yet.

Enter Second Street’s newest location, a sprawling 20,000 square-foot warehouse space in the post-burgeoning Siler Road area complete with a larger brewing facility, site-specific menu options from chef Milton Villarubio III, and a full-on stage and sound system for live music. The good ol’ neighborhood vibe remains, and it’s not unusual to strike up a chat with your fellow drinkers and diners while sampling new items like the olive plate

($7) or the corn maque choux (an $2.50 Cajun mélange of corn kernels swirling with sugar and spices). You can still find the burger ($9) and bratwurst ($11) with the side of your choice, but additions like the Cuban sandwich ($12) and bacon-wrapped Rufina dogo ($9) seal the deal. This place is already slammed, so if ever there were a question about whether Midtown Santa Fe knows how to do it, let Second Street’s “newery” location be the answer. (Alex De Vore)

Milad Persian Bistro A relatively new restaurant that opened in late 2016, Milad’s Iranian, Turkish and Lebanese menu is the brainchild of Iranian-American chef/owner Neema Sadeghi. In researching the nuts and bolts after having dined there a number of times, I came across Sadeghi’s photo on the restaurant’s website—and was tickled that he was also the person who met me at the host stand and poured my water. In addition to the appetizers you’d expect (hummus for $6, spicy carrot falafel for $8, various salads), the main menu is anchored by kababs. Ranging from $13-$22, they’re served with delicious buttered saffron rice and a shirazi salad (cucumber, onion and tomato with mint and lemon juice). Don’t skimp

when there’s a special offered, though.

The pan-seared Colorado ruby trout (stuffed with barberries, garlic, tarragon, onions and walnuts) was so tender and moist I probably could have downed two, but that wouldn’t have left room for the uber-rich, feta-stuffed, honey-drizzled dates ($6) that live on the appetizer menu but that make a great dessert (there’s also baklava, or rosewater and saffron ice cream from La Lecheria for $5 each). Throw in vegan-friendly and open late, and it’s an anytime win.

(Charlotte Jusinski) 802 Canyon Road, 303-3581 Lunch and dinner Tuesday-Sunday miladbistro.com

LET’S GIVE ’EM SOMETHING TO TACO ’BOUT

Last week, SFR deployed our annual Restaurant Guide in all of its glossy glory. And it is those pages from whence these tacos come. Want more? Find a list of pickup locations on page 40 and, in the meantime, plan your next taco outing post haste.

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

221 Shelby St.,983-8604 4-8:30 pm Monday-Saturday 1851 St. Michael’s Drive, 820-0643 7 am-3 pm daily $8 for three tacos with rice and beans GO FOR: SOMETHING AFFORDABLE

Sunrise Family Restaurant provides home-cooked flavor for a great price, making it a go-to for those of us without a New Mexican grandmother.

An order of three ground beef or chicken tacos runs $7.50, while three of the carne asada or fish tacos are just 49 cents more. All three options come with rice, beans, a choice of red or green chile and the satisfaction of a full meal for under $10.

Work Play Lounge

4350 Airport Road, 473-1081 8 am-9 pm Monday and Wednesday-Saturday; 8 am-8 pm Sunday; 8 am-3 pm Tuesday

$16 for three “taquitos” GO FOR: SOMETHING GOURMET

$8 for four tacos GO FOR: SOMETHING DIFFERENT

If you’re a taco aficionado looking to expand your palate, head over to La Cocina de Doña Clara for cabeza, or pig’s head, tacos.

Before you start picturing The Walking Dead, let me clarify: It’s literally head meat, not brains. It tastes a lot like pork belly but less fatty. Four tacos are $8, and don’t worry—they have plenty of other options, like ground beef and chicken, that are almost as tasty as the cabeza.

50% OFF

Sazón is known for their masterful mole sauce, but they also have a solid selection of taquitos (little tacos). The Xochimilco (corn truffle) iteration packs a plethora of complex flavors onto a tiny tortilla and, if you’re feeling brave, the Oaxaqueños, or grasshoppers, have a great zest. Be forewarned: at $16 for three itty-bitty tacos, these come in at the most expensive (and the smallest portion) on our list, but it’s worth it for a splurge.

401 Guadalupe St., 467-8624 5-10 pm Monday-Saturday

112 W San Francisco St., 983-7302 8:30 am-9 pm Tuesday-Sunday; 8:30 am-3 pm Monday

$10 for two tacos

$10 for three tacos on Tuesdays

GO FOR: SOMETHING VEGGIE

GO FOR: SOMETHING FUN

Paloma is new to Santa Fe’s restaurant scene, but their vegan cauliflower tacos are already a fan favorite. Topped with golden raisins, Spanish olives, marcona almonds and a garlic and red pepper romesco sauce, it’s enough to make even the most carnivorous consider a plant-based diet. Another bonus?

With a 10 pm closing time, they’re open the latest on this list.

While La Fogata’s tacos are delicious—especially the al pastor, or pork marinated with guajillo chiles and anchiote— this pick is more experiential.

Each week, they host Taco Tuesday, with a rotating list of mariachi bands to serenade you as you chow down on the three-for-$10 tacos and other food specials. For groups (or the ambitious eater), a special platter of 12 is offered for just $30 but, if you can’t make it on Tuesday, two tacos with rice and beans will set you back $10.99.

COURTESY PALACE OF THE GOEVRNORS

ith faith leaders and communities throughout this country, the United Church of Santa Fe (a United Church of Christ) holds in deep prayer the immigrant youth and young adults affected by the rescinding of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. We pray, too, for their families, friends, employers, and school communities in this time of uncertainty and fear.

Moreover, as people of faith, we the undersigned members and friends of United Church—an Immigrant Welcoming Congregation—call upon governmental leaders to implement just and humane immigration reform. We further urge Congress to support a clean passage of the Dream Act of 2017 (S.1615/H.R.3440) and do everything in their power to protect immigrant youth.

From the patriarch Jacob and his family to the widowed Ruth and Naomi to Jesus of Nazareth, the stories of our faith are stories of immigrants and refugees. We are called to care for the stranger and welcome the foreigner.

We urge our government to do the same.

Michael

25 lb 9 months old Neutered Male

Get ready for some serious sweetness! Michael is an adorable 9 month old Cattle dog mixed breed who came to Santa Fe from another animal shelter.

He weighs about 25 pounds currently and may gain another 5-10 pounds before he’s done growing. This lovable boy came to us with a damaged rear leg that our vets surgically repaired and is healing wonderfully.

We expect that Michael will very soon be able to run and jump and wrestle again! He is a smart and attentive boy who loves meeting new people and hanging out with them. He has some dog friends too. If you have another dog at home, we welcome you to bring them in for a meet and greet with our friend Michael.

Suburbicon Review

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

Oh wow, George Clooney directs a film from a screenplay written by the Coen Brothers, and Matt Damon and Julianne Moore are in it, so it should at least be a fairly entertaining popcorn kind of flick—false! Suburbicon is mostly just weird and confusing with the bulk of the suspense fizzling out thanks to telegraphed plot beats and a meandering series of non-events bookended by Fargo-esque darkness that never quite gets there.

Damon is Gardner Lodge, some outwardly normal 1960s American dad who runs afoul of some very bad men. The in-too-deep trope works hard here as everyone from the bad guys and insurance investigators attempt to muck up his sinister plans. Unfortunately, Suburbicon seems to save the good stuff for offscreen moments or unseen prologue nonsense that we’re supposed to just understand already happened. This is baffling and cumbersome, especially with its holier-than-thou subtext about racism and the

+ FANTASTIC SET

6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

DESIGN; NOAH JUPE - JUST PLAIN NOT THAT GOOD

flawed nature of the American dream. Subtext, in fact, implies subtlety, of which Suburbicon has none.

Young Noah Jupe does surprise as Damon’s son Nicky, as natural a performance as we actually get out of the film, whereas literally everyone else—even True Detective villain Glenn Fleshler, who is usually superb, falls flat under Clooney’s seeming insistence to point out how very creepy Levittown-type suburban tracts actually were (and are). Oscar Isaac (Star Wars) brings a brief respite of levity in his too-short appearance, but even he’s gone before we know it, and it’s back to Damon struggling for nuance when he should really just stick to Bourne movies or acting like he didn’t know what was up with Weinstein.

Kudos are in order for both art direction and an intense dedication to capturing the atmosphere of the 1960s, but methinks that if any other filmmakers had taken a stab at such a tale, it might never have been made. So here’s to you, Coen Brothers—you truly did help your buddy and his buddy make a movie. It still hurts, though, that anyone else might think it’d be worthwhile.

+ A REALISTIC TAKE ON OUR WILDFIRE WOES

- YOU’LL CRY. MAYBE A LOT.

Santa Fe’s relationship with Only the Brave isn’t just that our city streets doubled for Prescott, Arizona, in some of the movie’s scenes. It’s closer to home than that: This could have just as easily been a story originally set in our town.

What we have in common with the characters and the events of the drama based on the true tale of the Granite Mountain Hotshots is a shared narrative of wildfire looming on the horizon every summer. We could have lost 19 strong, young men, just like Prescott did.

But the production doesn’t just go racing to the fatal blaze in a forensic fury; it lingers on the important tale of the risk that Prescott took by investing in the first-ever municipal wildland firefighting team to earn federal certification as elite hot shots.

The audience gets a quick read on four characters whose names we soon learn: superintendent Eric Marsh (the ever lovably gruff Josh Brolin of No Country for Old Men) and his second in command Jesse Steed (James Badge Dale, World War Z), along with Mac (Taylor Kitsch, Friday Night Lights), who doesn’t

Only the Brave: Whereas the rest of us would probably head away from fires.

VICTORIA AND ABDUL

at all trust Brendan (Miles Teller, Divergent), a recovering addict who gets a puzzling second chance from Marsh. The rest of the men in the line of yellow shirts trudging through the pines blend together until the final credits, when we’re reminded of each one’s place, and of the empty space he left behind.

Fire itself is a strong character in the story, and its rendering on the big screen is beautiful even as it is horrifying. By the time we’re led to the Yarnell Hill Fire and we know what’s coming next, the tears start to flow. Ten minutes later, it’s a full-on sob- and snot-fest spurred on by the utter anguish of the sole surviving hot shot and the widowed women, remarkable among them Amanda, Marsh’s wife, from a fiery Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind).

In this storytelling approach there’s little room for blame, except maybe on the wind and on the imprecise flight of a few tanker planes.

Despite an abundance of Monday morning quarterbacking in this incident in real life, nobody’s painted as the villain or the one who made a bad choice. Marsh calls fire a bitch in one memorable scene, and she is. An indiscriminate one. She took. And she’ll take again. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, PG-13, 133 mins.

It’s especially disappointing that The Snowman comes to us courtesy of director Tomas Alfredson, whose previous works like Let the Right One In or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy were at worst well-crafted, at best downright excellent—and though the streets and countrysides of Norway are gorgeous, even they can’t make us like this thing. This kind of makes The Snowman feel like the discarded pages of some never-released Girl with the Dragon Tattoo story that’s barely passable even as a distraction.

We can’t stress this enough: Do not see this movie. (Alex De Vore) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 119 min.

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. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 114 min.

“Mind if I axe you a few questions?” Editor’s note: Not an actual scene from The Snowman.

THE SNOWMAN

+ NORWAY SURE IS PRETTY - LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE

Never a great sign for a movie when one is a mere 30 minutes in and thinking, “Why the hell did I come to this thing?” Yet one might be forgiven in the case of The Snowman—the new Michael Fassbender flick that’s infiltrated everyone’s Facebook walls for weeks on end— since it looks like it’ll at least be thrilling. But thrilling it ain’t, though it definitely is long.

Fassbender is Harry Hole (yeah— Hole), a Norwegian detective amalgam of similar hardboiled cops torn from airport bookstore lit. He’s the kind of guy who drinks too much, cares too hard and yet seemingly has no problem burning down every positive relationship in his life, including that of former flame Rakel (a barely-there Charlotte Gainsbourg) and her son Oleg.

Harry starts getting letters from a maniac who not only likes to kill people but likes to build snowmen, though outside of the “Ohmygod, there’s a snowman here!” revelations it brings, there’s really no point beyond a thinly veiled and horrible stab at serial killer trophy tropes or symbology. We’ll save you the trouble—there actually isn’t any, and despite Fassbender’s best attempts at portraying poor Harry as damaged, he really just seems like an asshole. Man, first Assassin’s Creed and now this. Bummer, Fassbender.

Elsewhere, middling or nearly-forgotten actors like Chloë Sevigny and Val Kilmer pop up as runtime padding and poorly constructed motivators for pointless supporting characters.

JK Simmons even appears, though his character may as well have been named Red Herring. All of this, of course, pales in comparison to the “payoff,” wherein we don’t give a shit who the bad guy has been no matter how surprising it’s meant to be.

+ JACKIE CHAN! - NOT ENOUGH JACKIE CHAN!

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!

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

Think you are having a bad day? Try being a rich actor potraying someone with painful glass in their face. Yeah, that’s what I thought, in The Foreigner.

+ 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 long-gestating 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 older-model 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 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 are the supporting players, specifically Sylvia Hoeks as Luv, a complex replicant who seems at war with her own developing emotions even as she murders anyone who gets in her way, and Ana de Armas as Joi, K’s holographic AI companion for whom he (and we) begin to develop very real attachment.

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. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, R, 163 min.

VICTORIA AND ABDUL

+ HISTORICAL DRAMA THAT’S NOT BORING

- ABRUPT TRANSITIONS, SADNESS

Blade Runner 2049: Robot-ing ain’t easy.

Snuggle a baby, Support a Mom

Victoria and Abdul: “I say, Abdul,” Judi Dench as Victoria says, “teach me the way of your exotic lands.” Abdul, meanwhile, is way more into it than you might think.

If your Anglophile history archive is missing the story of Queen Victoria and Abdul Karim, there’s nothing like a spicy historical drama to change that.

Based on a 2010 book of the same name

by Shrabani Basu, the story is billed as the mostly true, somewhat rom-com version 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 long-serving 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.

MODERN BUDDHISM: “Improving Relationships” Buddha explained many methods to liberate ourself and others from suffering.

Through contemplating and meditating on his precious instructions and them putting them into practice daily we can bring positive change into all our personal relationships with family, friends, at work, and in our community and with everyone we connect with.

At times, all our relationships, no matter how close, give rise to anger, jealousy, competitiveness and disappointment due to our mistaken feelings of pride, attachment, unrealistic expectations and criticism.

And we find it difficult to let go of past mistakes and harm that we have perceived.

Explore how meditation on the wisdom of gratitude, acceptance, patience and kindness is key to attaining harmonious, fruitful and satisfying relationships.

Through these meditations we develop a compassionate motivation to put these teachings into practice.

Discovering positive ways of viewing and understanding our experience leads to the fulfillment of our wishes for happiness and we will likewise help others. We have the power to transform our lives.

Gen Kelsang Inchug, an American Buddhist nun has been studying, practicing and teaching for many years with the guidance of Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. Her teachings and guided meditations in Santa Fe are practical, accessible and inspiring. She offers profound insight - transmitted with warmth and humor.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny

Week of November 1st

ARIES (March 21-April 19): America’s Civil War ended in 1865. A veteran from that conflict later produced a daughter, Irene Triplett, who is still alive today and collecting his pension. In the coming months, I foresee you being able to take advantage of a comparable phenomenon, although it may be more metaphorical.

Blessings from bygone times, perhaps even from the distant past, will be available to you. But you’ll have to be alert and know where to look. So now might be a good time to learn more about your ancestors, ruminate exuberantly about your own history, study the lives of your dead heroes, and maybe even tune in to your previous incarnations.

to expansive future possibilities that I had previously been closed to. So even though I didn’t actually get a windfall during this favorable financial phase, I was glad I’d entertained the fantasy. In alignment with current astrological omens, Libra, here’s the moral of the story for you: Meditate on what educational amusements you’d seek if you had more money.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the early stages of Johnny Cash’s development as a musician, his mother hired a coach to give him singing lessons. But after a few meetings, the teacher counseled him to quit. Johnny’s style was so unique, the seasoned pro thought it better not to tamper with his natural sound. I hesitate to offer you TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “I wasn’t in the market to comparable advice, Scorpio. I’m a big believer in the value of enhancing one’s innate talents with training and educabuy a Day-Glo plastic fish from a street vendor,” testified a witty guy named Jef on Facebook, “but that’s tion. On the other hand, my assessment of your destiny between now and October 2018 impels me to offer a sugexactly what I did. The seller said he found it in gestion: It may be useful for you to give some credence to someone’s trash. He wanted fifty cents for it, but I the perspective of Johnny Cash’s voice coach. Make sure talked him up to a dollar. The best part is the expression on the fish’s face. It’s from Edvard Munch’s you guard and revere your distinctiveness.

The Scream.” I bring this testimony to your attention, SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I used to nurture a Taurus, because I feel it’s good role-modeling for you. grudge against Tony Pastorini. He was the high school In the coming days, I bet you won’t know exactly what math teacher who kicked me out of the extracurricular you’re looking for until you find it. This prize may not Calculus Club because my proofs were too “intuitive be highly valued by anyone else but you. And it will and unorthodox.” The shock of his rejection drove me amuse you and be of use to you in just the right ways. away from a subject I had been passionate about.

Eventually, though, I came to realize what a good deed GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Where are Chinese he had done. It would have been a mistake for me to gooseberries grown? In New Zealand. What is a keep specializing in math—I was destined to study camel’s hair brush made of? Squirrel fur. When literature and psychology and mythology—but it took England and France waged their Hundred Years’ War, Pastorini to correct my course. Now, Sagittarius, I invite how long did it last? 116 years. When do Russians celebrate their October Revolution? In November. Trick you to make a similar shift of attitude. What debt of answers like these are likely to be a recurring theme for gratitude do you owe a person you have thought of as a source of frustration or obstruction? you in the coming weeks, Gemini. That’s why I advise you to NOT be a Master of the Obvious.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In the lore of ancient Greek mythology, the god Prometheus stole fire from CANCER (June 21-July 22): In accordance with the his fellow deities and sneakily gave it to us humans. astrological omens, I recommend you indulge in any or all of the following exercises. 1. Dedicate an entire day to Before our patron provided us with this natural treasure, we poor creatures had no access to it. As I gaze performing acts of love. 2. Buy yourself flowers, sing out at your possibilities in the coming months, yourself a song, and tell yourself a story about why Capricorn, I foresee you having Promethean inclinayou’re so beautiful. 3. Explain your deeply-felt opinion tions. Your ability to bestow blessings and spread with so much passion and logic that you change the mind of a person who had previously disagreed with you. benevolence and do good deeds will be at a peak.

Unlike Prometheus, however, I don’t expect you’ll get 4. Make a pilgrimage to a sacred spot you want to be influenced by. 5. Buy a drink for everyone in a bar or cafe. into trouble for your generosity. Just the opposite!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): “Dear Rob: I saw a photo of you recently, and I realized that you have a scar on your face.

I hope you don’t mind me telling you it resembles an ancient Mayan hieroglyph that means ‘Builder of Bridges for Those Who Are Seeking Home.’ Did you know this?

If so, do you think it’s an accurate title for what you do?

- Renegade Leo Scholar.” Dear Scholar: Thanks for your observation. I don’t know if I fully deserve the title “Builder of Bridges for Those Who Are Seeking Home,” but it does describe the role I’m hoping to play for Leos.

The coming weeks will be an excellent time for your tribe to clarify and cultivate your notion of home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Author Clarissa Pinkola Estés encourages us to purge any tendencies we might have to think of ourselves as hounded animals, angry, wounded victims, leaky vessels aching to be filled, or broken creatures yearning for rescue. It so happens that now is a perfect time for you to perform this purgation. You have maximum power to revise your self-image so that it resounds with more poise, self-sufficiency, and sovereignty.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I used to scoff at people who play the lottery. The chance of winning big is almost nil.

Why not invest one’s hopes in more pragmatic schemes to generate money? But my opinion softened a bit when the planet Jupiter made a lucky transit to an aspect in my personal horoscope. It really did seem like my chances of winning the lottery were unusually high. I started dreaming about the educational amusements I’d pursue if I got a huge influx of cash. I opened my mind

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Here’s a parable you may find useful. An armchair explorer is unexpectedly given a chance to embark on an adventure she has only read and dreamed about. But she hesitates on the brink of seizing her opportunity. She asks herself, “Do I really want to risk having ragged reality corrupt the beautiful fantasy I’ve built up in my mind’s eye?” In the end she takes the gamble. She embarks on the adventure. And ragged reality does in fact partially corrupt her beautiful fantasy. But it also brings her unexpected lessons that partially enhance the beautiful fantasy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): “A game of chess is usually a fairy tale of 1001 blunders,” said chess grandmaster Savielly Tartakower, a Pisces. “It is a struggle against one’s own errors,” he added. “The winner of the game is the player who makes the next-to-last mistake.” I think this is excellent counsel during the current phase of your astrological cycle, Pisces. It’s time to risk bold moves, because even if they’re partly or wholly mistaken, they will ultimately put you in a good position to succeed in the long run. Here’s a further point for your consideration. Remember the philosopher Rene Descartes’ famous dictum, “Cogito ergo sum”? It’s Latin for “I think, therefore I am.” Tartakower countered this with, “Erro ergo sum,” which is “I err, therefore I am.”

Homework: Meditate on death not as the end of physical life, but as a metaphor for shedding what’s outworn. In that light, what’s the best death you’ve experienced? Freewillastrology.com
