“WOLVES COULD LOSE”

The egregious environmental destruction taking place in the West because of grazing is hardly discussed by environmental or even animal groups. While we witness the terrible assaults on wolves, coyotes and other wild animals by the millions each year, nothing is being done to stop the livestock special interests from grazing on public lands. There seems to be no real political will to do so.

Public lands grazing supporter, oil/gas tycoon and GOP politician, Steve Pearce, in southern New Mexico, is working in Congress to end any chances of wolf reintroduction.

This is a quote, from the Congressional Western Caucus, of which is Pearce is a member: “As part of our advocacy, we will focus on an agenda which will increase energy independence and security, protect and promote multiple use access to federal lands, help educate the public and eventually bring about common-sense reforms to outdated environmental statutes such as the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act, and to reevalu-

COURTESY ULTRA HEALTH

NEWS

Natural & Healthy Skin Care Solutions New spaces are rented and rent checks are written, but the state won’t let Ultra Health open new dispensaries in rural New Mexico.

Cannabis Checkmate

Producer says limits on plants and state processing delays stunt job growth

BY P ETE R ST. CYR @Peter_ St Cy r

A

t the same time the state Medical Cannabis Program struggles to keep up with new patient registrations, a producer says regulators are also moving slowly on processing paperwork for employees at dispensaries.

State law requires patient paperwork be approved or denied in 30 days or less, and patients report their applications are taking twice that long.

Meanwhile, Duke Rodriguez, the president and chief executive officer of Ultra Health, which already manages six cannabis dispensary locations in New Mexico, tells SFR that he’s prepared to create 85 new dispensary jobs around the state with an average pay of $15 per hour, but the health department is also dragging its feet on that front. He wants them to approve his plan to open 13 new dispensaries in rural cities. Rodriguez, who is already writing rent checks for leased, but still unoccupied spaces in Grants, Gallup, Carlsbad and other cities, says Charles Castillo, a health department compliance officer, emailed his staff last Friday to express concerns about Ultra Health’s ability to reliably supply enough cannabis for the proposed expansion.

Growers currently pay a $90,000 annual licensure fee, but are limited to 450 live plants at a time. “The issue which has affected further consideration of your organization’s amendments requesting additional dispensaries relates only to your ability to adequately supply those proposed dispensaries with a steady and reliable supply of usable medical cannabis,” writes Castillo. “Simply stated, you yourself have indicated on numerous occasions that with the maximum 450 plant count it would be extremely difficult, even under optimal condi-

tions and an ideal production cycle, to adequately serve the needs of even six dispensaries with that plant count.”

Ultra Health also asked the department to provide any modeling data that shows how the regulators calculate adequate supply based on patient demand, since the number of enrolled patients is up 93 percent since last summer.

They also want to know what criteria is being used to consider other growers’ requests to open additional locations, like New Mexicann Natural Medicine’s newest stores in Taos, Española and Las Vegas.

Rodriguez claims that prospective employees, just like patients, are having to wait up to two months for their Licensed Nonprofit Employee cards to be processed. “By the time we call them, they’ve already found other jobs,” says Rodriguez. “Most people can’t wait two months to start work.”

Health Department spokesman Kenny Vigil did not answer questions about the delay.

For now, Rodriguez estimates the state will receive up to $3.5 million in gross receipts taxes from medical cannabis sales this fiscal year. They want lawmakers to propose bills to lift plant limits imposed by the health department and consider transferring regulator control from the health department to the regulation and licensing department. Rodriguez also suggests that if lawmakers return to the Roundhouse for a special session to deal with a looming budget deficit, they once again consider legalizing cannabis for social use.

“It could generate up to $131 million in new revenues, depending on the tax rate,” says Rodriguez. “We do not have a spending problem; we have a revenue problem. In healthcare it is well understood that if you cut too deeply, you are no longer cutting into fat but are cutting into needed muscle.”

Repeating History on the Gila New Mexico reveals its new plans for diverting the river’s water

BY LAUR A PASK U S @LauraPa s ku s

T

his month, the year-old state agency in charge of planning and operating a diversion on the Gila River in southwestern New Mexico had to officially disclose its concept and location for the project. And while some of the plans still remain murky—not to mention complicated and expensive—in many ways, it feels like history is repeating itself.

Almost 50 years ago, on June 14, 1967, four couples fired off a telegram from Las Cruces to Sen. Henry Jackson, a Democrat from Washington. Called “Scoop” by his pals, Jackson chaired the Senate committee looking at a bill to authorize the Central Arizona Project, a system of dams, canals and aqueducts on the Colorado River and its tributaries.

The bill would grant New Mexico some new water rights and also call for Hooker Dam. Planned for the Gila River, its reservoir would back into the nation’s first wilderness area, designated in 1924.

In the telegram, the couples registered their opposition to the dam. They complained that a lack of information was discouraging public participation.

Building Hooker, they wrote, would violate the Wilderness Act. That wasn’t the only note Scoop received about the dam. Postmarked from California to New Jersey, telegrams and letters arrived from across the nation.

They came from groups like the Texas Ornithologi-

cal Society and the Methodist Church in Montana.

Tucked into a file at the National Archives in Washington DC, the stack is more than 4 inches thick.

But in 1968, the bill passed—and Congress authorized Hooker Dam or its “suitable alternative.”

Over the decades, plans for two other dams were also floated, and then sunk, on the Gila. Each time, the US Bureau of Reclamation faced not just opposition due to environmental impacts, but also high costs and technical problems.

Then, two years ago, New Mexico announced it would take advantage of its water rights by building a diversion on the Gila. That decision put New Mexico on course to receive about $100 million in federal money to design the project, study its possible impacts and then actually build it.

At their July meeting, board members of the New Mexico Central Arizona Project Entity, also known as the CAP Entity, voted unanimously to support a recommendation by their executive director, Anthony Gutierrez.

Gutierrez’ proposal combines two projects, built in phases: A diversion at the upper end of the Cliff-Gila Valley that would feed water underground, where it might be stored and used at a later time; and a second diversion leading to a surface reservoir.

Based on plans from engineers hired by the state, combining the two projects would cost more than $700 million to build, minus the cost for any overlapping components. That’s seven times what the state expects to receive from the federal government—and as planned, the project would not yield the full 14,000 acre feet of water rights New Mexico is entitled to under federal law.

Gutierrez, however, tells SFR it’s important to note that the project would be built in phases. “Each individual component can interact with any additional component or alternative,” he says. “So therefore, that reduces the overall project costs.”

He adds that while the initial construction would be geared toward delivering water to farmers, the project could be expanded for municipal use.

Next, New Mexico’s consultants will help state officials refine the design and peg down the exact locations. They’ll also have to begin studies required by laws like the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Endangered Species Act, which will require consultation with the US Fish and Wildlife Service over rare fish, bird and reptile species in the project area.

During the NEPA process, which can take years and cost millions of dollars, the Bureau of Reclamation and the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission will evaluate the entity’s proposal and various alternatives, as well as their possible impacts on the environment and cultural resources.

To receive the full federal subsidy, New Mexico needs to complete that

work in time for the US Secretary of the Interior to issue a decision on the project by the end of 2019.

That deadline can be extended until 2030 if New Mexico demonstrates it isn’t responsible for delays.

In other words, the state still has a long way to go before ground could ever break. And some people are never going to agree that trying to tame the Gila is a good idea.

For decades, Dutch Salmon has kept an eye on proposals to build on the river. He spent much of the ’80s fighting against Connor Dam, proposed by the feds as an alternative to Hooker Dam. In the spring of ’86, he even loaded up a 13-foot canoe, and then paddled— with his dog and cat—from within the Gila Wilderness to Safford, Arizona.

Today, he sports a cane and slow gait, but still shows up to all the Gila meetings—like a CAP Entity meeting in early June at the Grant County building.

Silver City’s not a big town, and rural people watch out for one another, even when they disagree on controversial issues. And before the meeting, Salmon’s no different from the farmers, local environmentalists, board members and federal employees asking after one another’s families or turning to smile when hearing a familiar voice during the Pledge of Allegiance.

But Salmon’s not giving up on his river.

“This is the fourth iteration of a dam on the Gila,” Salmon says, listing them out: Hooker, then Connor, and Mangas that came later. This new idea doesn’t even have a name. “We chased ‘em out of the Box,” he says, referring to the entity’s decision to not build a diversion just downstream of the wilderness area. “Now they’re looking at the Cliff-Gila Valley. It’ll take us a couple of years, but we’ll chase ‘em out of there, too.

It’s okay. We’ll do it.”

Meter Beating

NEWS

Farmers Market says city’s big parking hike is hurting the popular Saturday event

BY AN D R E W KOSS andrew@ s fre p o r te r.com

P

eg Luciano adjusts a box of peaches as she works at Pat Montoya’s Family Orchard stand. Pretty soon, she’ll have to stop by the meter and drop in a few more coins. Like the other workers at the Railyard Farmers Market, Luciano now has to pay as much as $12 for a day for parking. It makes a considerable difference to what’s left from her paychecks.

“I’m only making a small amount an hour working for the farmers,” Luciano says.

The city’s new parking rates went into effect at the beginning of the month. On-street metered parking rose from $1 to $2 an hour for the first two hours, and $3 for each additional hour. For shorter time periods, as are often needed at the city’s main post office, the rate jumped to 5 cents a minute, meaning visitors better hope there’s not a long line. Off-street parking, however, like at the Railyard Municipal Garage, dropped from $2 to $1 for the first hour, with a rate of $2 for each additional hour and a maximum daily rate of $12, an increase from the previous rate of $10 per day.

The rate change comes with the implementation of Santa Fe’s new fiscal year budget and renewed efforts to minimize debts like those incurred for parking garage construction.

The city also discontinued the discounted rate of $1 parking before noon in the Railyard Municipal Garage for the Saturday Farmers Market. For market vendors, who typically arrive at the Railyard as early as 5 am and don’t leave until after 2 pm, the full day rate of $12 now applies.

City spokesman Matt Ross tells SFR, “This giveaway to the Farmers Market folks, as much as we love to do that sort of

Parking rates climbed in July at all city garages and metered parking spaces, which came as a surprise to Railyard tenants.

thing and support the Farmers Market, got eliminated in order to balance the budget.”

Ross says there was “a lot of effort around notifying the general public. The New Mexican ran articles, the Journal ran articles and we did our own social media work.”

Yet, Brian DeSpain, the president of the Farmers Market board, says there was no notice from the city.

“The Railyard Corporation, who we work with, basically told us the day before,” DeSpain says. “It wasn’t enough time to notify our customers or our membership.”

Sandra Brice, the events and marketing director for the Santa Fe Railyard Community Corporation, says they learned of the change, ironically, from Farmers Market Institute Executive Director Kierstan Pickens, two days before the rates took effect.

DeSpain noticed an immediate change in his interaction with customers. “It’s made shopping very uncomfortable because people are worried about getting a ticket. … They’re rushing in, stuffing stuff in their bags and getting out.”

Peaches Malmaud has been selling garlic oil at the Farmers Market for 20 years. “This is our sixth location since I’ve been here,” she says of the market’s home in the Railyard.

“This is the hardest one for parking and it discourages locals from coming.”

Market Manager Devon Kaiser says while it’s

only been three weeks since the parking rates increased, “the effect has been immense and immediate.” Money that previously could have been spent on groceries now goes toward parking. “It just sucks, because the city’s making up their budget shortfall on the backs of the Santa Fe Farmers Market.”

Ross suggests the Southside Farmers Market as a more affordable alternative, “where parking is completely free. It extends access to people who may be of a lower income throughout Santa Fe.” DeSpain says Ross has “obviously never attended the Southside market. Farmers Market Southside is much smaller. To suggest that is a bit disingenuous.”

While the Saturday Farmers Market at the Railyard offers produce from about 130 vendors, the Southside market is still in its infancy. “The optimistic way of looking at it is we might get people to some of these other markets that we work really hard on but aren’t as popular,” says Southside market manager Lani Ersfeld. However, as the Southside market exists to service Santa Feans who can’t make it to the Railyard, those who live downtown may have the same problem getting to the Southside. “It’s really difficult for some folks to get across town, especially in the afternoon around rush hour,” Ersfeld says.

DeSpain hopes to work with the city to find better solutions. The Railyard market has also recently opened on Wednesday nights from 4 to 8 pm. Parking is free after 6 pm. As for the Tuesday market, customers can take advantage of free parking next to Warehouse 21 before 10 am.

ith major party political conventions swirling into a special brand of chaos across the nation, democracy was a hot topic as we prepared the annual Best of Santa Fe Readers Choice edition.

So we thought it would be fun to remind you about the local impact of the process that we embark on every year.

At a total of 17,502 individual voters, we proudly surpassed the number of people voting in June’s primary for Santa Fe County Commission District 2 race by three times. We don’t ask for photo ID in our virtual polling place, yet we try hard to prevent ballot-stuffing by making each user register with a distinct email address. Those voters made a whopping total of 250,453 choices in the 116 categories

on the ballot. And the numbers come after we whittled the number of categories down from 156 last year.

The decision about which categories to cut and which ones to keep is always a hard one, and we heard from some of you who are sad that your category didn’t make the list for 2016. But we are always striving to give the community a definitive list to guide their shopping, playtime, mealtime and lots in between. For the second year, we also

16 23 28 35 41

used a two-round approach that’s something like what happens in elections. First, we held a nominating period, sort of a primary election round, in February. The six nominees with the most votes in each category moved on to the final, general election ballot, with voting for the entire month of May. So without further delay (and thanks if you are still even reading this far), turn the page and discover who came out on top.

You May Be A Winner!

And the best lip-piercing parlor on Galisteo is…

Y

BY ROBE RT B ASLE R

ou’ve probably seen the big news: SFR today announced the results of the 2016 Best of Santa Fe competition.

If you live in Santa Fe, you know that’s a pretty big deal for the first, second and third-place winners in our roughly two million separate categories. Local businesses and other entities soon will be festooned with their BOSF certificates and the bragging rights that come with them.

Indeed, there is a restaurant out on Cerrillos, which still proudly displays its BOSF award from 2003. I’m not making this up. My thinking is, Hey, buddy, if you haven’t won anything since then, you might want to accept that your best days are behind you.

People ask me how the BOSF awards are chosen. It’s complicated, especially now that readers get to take part in the nominations as well as the voting. Without going into the full methodology, the process involves a series of primaries and caucuses held in yoga studios around Santa Fe, and then George R.R. Martin pulls color-coded pinecones from a burlap bag.

Our BOSF judges this year carefully tallied the reader nominations, and then removed Bernie Sanders’ name from every category. Sorry, Bernie, you don’t get to be the Best Sushi Bar on Canyon Road, no matter how much your supporters whine about it.

While the BOSF system works very well, the Reporter has asked me to take an objective look and suggest possible improvements in 2017.

They also advised me not to take it personally that the 2016 award for Best Humor Column in a Weekly Santa Fe Newspaper went to some guy who died in 1998, so I guess I’m cool with that.

The full list of actual BOSF categories is so dizzying, I misread one as Best Electric Shopping Experience. I really did. Whoops, make that Best Eclectic Shopping Experience, and congratulations on your well-deserved win, Doodlets!

Let’s look at the 2016 results. Best Business on St. Michael’s Drive, Best Business on the Southside, Best Breakfast Burrito… Well, shoot, there’s your problem, right there. Your categories aren’t specific enough! Sure, we have lots of categories, but we could always use more.

How about Best Onion Rings on Johnson Street? My vote would go to Terracotta Wine Bistro. Best Shrimp and Grits on Johnson Street? Georgia, hands down. Best Lemon Meringue Pie on Johnson Street? Sweet Lily!

See how that works? By creating more specific categories, we can paper the town with awards, and nobody will feel like a loser! Well, nobody except maybe that 2003 restaurant out on Cerrillos.

Some of our categories don’t make sense to me.

Why do we have Best Dentist, for example, but not Best Doctor? Don’t you think there’s a proctologist just wishing he could hang up one of our award certificates, after washing his hands, of course? And how about Best Dentist Who Works Out of a Sedan, so Santa Fe’s own El Dentista has a shot at some glory?

But here’s my main recommendation for next year. One very popular new local business is conspicuously absent from today’s results, I guess because it was just opening its doors as the BOSF nominations were underway.

But next year, for sure, we need a slot for Best Repurposed Bowling Alley Featuring a Victorian Mansion With a Secret Refrigerator Tunnel.

The pinecone, please, George?

Well, I’ll be goddamned! The winner is Meow Wolf!

o now you’ve seen the outcome of our hotly contested Readers Choice awards. This might be the section you really wanted to read: Our team of writers fills in the gaps. You’ll probably never see any of these categories on our “real” ballot. We’ve scoured the city to recommend desserts that wow us, gifts that bring smiles and places to go when the world is on fire. Some of what follows are shoutouts to people who have done amazing things and to others who have just done things that we want to poke at one more time.

Plus, who doesn’t have an opinion on the best Santa Fe directions and tourist outfits, the best man buns and the best radio show for the apocalypse? Join us for the trip to the podium.

Before you start in on what’s missing or how some of this stuff is not technically in the city proper, take a breath.

Don’t take yourself, or us, too seriously. And come see us at Friday night’s party in the Railyard.

HAPPENINGS

Best Santa Fe-ish Directions Over by the Villa Linda Mall, Bro 4250 Cerrillos Road, 473-4253

Best Publicity that

Made Us All Think, “Man! That Place is Going to be Cool,” but Then Ultimately Languished in Bankruptcy Court and Left Everyone Feeling Disillusioned and Heartbroken

Ringside Bowl in the Market Station The rumors swirled for years, and everyone you knew had some mysterious tidbit about it: that a bowling alley/venue was going to open any day now on the second floor of the Railyard’s massive Market Station building and, when it did, all our problems would be solved. They have a dance floor, they have the lanes, they’ve got a stage and a full bar and arcade games, and the Railyard was finally going to be more than one fucking restaurant and a movie theater (that is, albeit, awesome). And then it never came to be. Developers changed as quickly as the seasons, and we all settled back into our usual ruts in the bars we already know and love. Oh sure, sometimes we drove out to Cities of Gold (see right), but we never gave up hope.

Let us help you, Santa Fe—it’s never going to happen, so let’s just all let it go and be glad that we can get tanked at the movies over there.

You know you live in a small town when you give directions that involve landmarks like turn at the pink church (the Scottish Rite Temple) and used-to-be’s such as you know that parking lot where Rainbow Snow was (on the corner of Cerrillos Road and Alta Vista Street) or the not-brand-new courthouse where the Paramount used to be? Our town also has colloquialisms for locations where nobody knows the real name, like meet me at triangle park (Tommy Macaione Park). While there are countless directions given regularly in this town that nonlocals would never comprehend or find in Google maps, the best worst directions are those that include the Villa Linda Mall as a marker. This year two big box stores fancied up its Rodeo façade, and the food court now includes glow-in-the-dark mini golf for the first time, but Santa Fe’s largest (and still dullest) mall changed its name to the Santa Fe Place in the early 2000s, and more than 15 years later, it still hasn’t stuck. Villa Linda por vida. (Maria Egolf-Romero)

Best Only Place to Go Bowling Strike Gold Lanes @Cities of Gold Casino 10-B Cities of Gold Road, Pojoaque, 455-4232

You’d think we’d have gotten over it by now, but the sting of losing Silva Lanes 800 years ago feels as real today as it did then. And yeah, there’s a multimillion-dollar arts complex called Meow Wolf there now, but what does one do when they want to knock down the old pins (and maybe eat some disgusting snack bar food)? They head out to Cities of Gold, of course. The schlep is pretty much worth it, what with the 16 awesome lanes and drinks and stuff; just make sure you plan ahead Uber-wise.

And even though we still think Meow Wolf could’ve run a permanent performance piece wherein the artists played the role of bowling alley employee and the installation itself was just a damn bowling alley, we know when we’re licked and when we’ve gotta drive 25 minutes to knock pins. Wait a sec—is bowling actually even that cool?

Usually we get pretty sick of it after, like, 10 minutes. (ADV)

Best Use of Two Hours of City Council Meeting Time

Artichokes and Pomegranates FLORAL DESIGN STUDIO

Elastomeric Stucco Debate After just 75 interminable minutes of debate on texture, color and liquid penetration patterns, City Council allowed a home on Bishops Lodge Road, in the historic district, to use a synthetic alternative to traditional, hand-applied stucco. The home’s owners were appealing the Historic Districts Review Board’s decision to require more traditional “cementitious” stucco and arguing “Old” versus “Recent Santa Fe Style” designation. Discussion ventured near existential as councilors explored what truly traditional techniques and materials would mean, conjuring images of frontier-era hovels in Santa Fe and flashbacks to the last time out-of-towners dragged you to the “oldest house in Santa Fe” on De Vargas Street.

A close runner-up in this category was a home that sparked ire for being painted the wrong shade of sage to blend in to the landscape on the eastern edge of town and was (if you stood on the mailbox) visible from the road. (Elizabeth Miller)

Best Letters to the Editor Controversy “Sign of the Times” While the raging debate over the bar renovations at La Fonda in the Santa Fe New Mexican this year was a fine example of opinion-page sparring, the award for the most over-the-top letter-writing drama goes to SFR’s weekslong airing of the Israel/Palestine conflict, which included lots of letters from people who have apparently never visited our town or paid attention to our paper until they heard from some angry rabbis. The whole thing started with a story about people vandalizing other people’s yard signs. We thought it was interesting to consider how the global conflict played out on a little corner in Santa Fe. For fear of cracking it all open again, we won’t get into the specifics here, but let us say for the record that we don’t condone incitement to violence against any religious or ethnic groups just for being who they are. We never did. Still, the letters page is a forum for our readers.

And sometimes this community needs a reminder that we’re not a liberal bubble of agreement. At least not all the time. (Julie Ann Grimm)

Best Place to Take a Walk without Actually Getting Anywhere Christ Lutheran Church Labyrinth 1701 Arroyo Chamiso Road, 983-9461

The circuitous route of a labyrinth lacks the diversion and dead ends of a maze, ensuring you’ll always end up right back where you started. If this sounds like your idea of fun, you’re in luck. Santa Fe offers five different labyrinths for your meandering pleasure. The flat labyrinth at St. Francis Cathedral is intricate and time-consuming, but it’s too easy to step outside the lines. The exterior bricks are lava! You just burned to death!

The raised-earth labyrinth at Frenchy’s Field looks like Scrooge McDuck’s worry room if Druids designed it. And what’s with the shrine entrance? Are we walking into an alternate dimension? Unity Santa Fe’s nontraditional stone labyrinth doesn’t really have an entrance or exit. It loops back around with no end in sight, ensnaring you in a calfburning nightmare in which you pace for all eternity until your feet are nothing more than bloody stubs. If you’d like to avoid that, we suggest the labyrinth at Christ Lutheran Church.

The mountainous landscape looms above this quiet spot, creating a blissful respite from city life. Once you reach the center, take a seat and contemplate a life wasted walking labyrinths. (Andrew Koss)

Camp Lovewave KSFR 101.1 FM

Best Radio Show for the Apocalypse

SFR’s BEST IN SHOW

Saturday morning: Sunlight breaks through the window blinds. The smell of coffee wafts through your living room. And a soothing voice on the radio reminds you of the nefarious forces exploiting commercial airliners to dispense chemicals in the sky, the primary weapon of a secret government conspiracy that has eluded the scientific community, not to mention the general population. Or maybe the soothing voice is talking about that other nefarious force, you know, the one that did 9/11. Or maybe he is reading the stars. For more than a decade, Terran and Bari Lovewave, partners in life and radio, have eloquently sermonized love and revolution, left-wing politics and new age philosophy. They sound great. Even when the duo airs some of our most unhinged crackpot theories, the calming cadence of their voices draws us in­—tin foil wrapped in tapestry. Gather round, children, every Saturday from 11 am to noon. Take a seat by the virtual campfire. It’s beautifully apocalyptic in these woods. You won’t be able to turn away.

(Steven Hsieh)

Best Most Reliable Headache Cerrillos Road 666 Roadblock Lane

Whenever we crave a bout of rage, all it takes is a turn southbound on Cerrillos Road from Fifth Street to soak in the bumper-to-bumper traffic, strip mall scenery and roadwork ordered by the devil himself. The stretch of road is so dependable in its teeth-gritting, wheel-clenching, horn-blaring madness. This construction has been going on every summer since Don Diego traipsed in here with a peace medallion around his neck. Luckily for us, it’s only going to get worse.

Groundbreaking for an underpass north of the St. Francis intersection is set for next month. Good news for bicyclists, a bunch of bullshit for the rest of us. (SH)

Best Most Informative Hashtag for Newly Arrived Transplants #GrowingUpInNewMexico A hashtag that trended on Twitter on July 3, 2016, further proves what everyone already knew: To understand a community, learn the inside jokes. On a Sunday afternoon, I scrolled through an endless feed of frustration and pride, each Tweet offering another slice of hometown life. Having just moved to this state three months ago, I appreciated the flash education. “leaving the state and ordering chile and they give you some fake bs,” writes @_nautixcaaaaa.

Some contributions offered incisive commentary. As @ayitscarlee writes, “New Mexico being ranked 49th in education, but everyone from other states think we’re part of Mexico. [Sad frog emoji].” Others, like @DevonBaird13, took the moment to be thankful: “people taking for granted what an amazing place we live in.” For more local hashtag action, try #howtosantafe.

Best Bench Janet’s Bench Cross of the Martyrs

Next time you summit our city’s signature lookout spot, turn right and take a seat. Janet’s Bench, one of two atop Ft. Marcy Park, offers one of the best seated views our city has to offer. Enjoy a sunset, share a lover’s embrace, or just sit and think. Janet Lashbrooke, the retired English teacher for whom the spot is named, loved walking up here. She passed away last year on Christmas Day. “In the last year, as long as she could walk, she would go there,” says Yvon Villaneuve, her husband. “I went there with her often.”

Earlier this year, Villaneuve called the city and asked them for permission to donate a bench for the spot where his wife found peace, so others may find it as well. It was her dying wish. On May 25, the day Lashbrooke would have turned 73, Villaneuve and about a dozen friends climbed the steps, walked past the Cross and installed a plaque in her honor. (SH)

Best Venue to Rise from the Ashes Like a Phriggin’ Phoenix or Something The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Co. 37 Fire Place, 424-3333

Without getting into it, the former owners of what was once known as Sol Santa Fe—the inimitable venue attached to the Santa Fe Brewing Co.—were a complete disaster. Canceled shows (that were already in progress), weird community engagement, lackluster PR and an utter disregard for the clientele left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, but the longtime owner of the brewery, Brian Lock, is here to save the day. “I am so excited to revitalize the great outdoor venue at Santa Fe Brewing,” Lock all but shouts from the rooftops.

“The Bridge will provide the people of Santa Fe a great space to see music for years to come.” There will also be food trucks, and Lord knows that’s a mindblowing prospect to Santa Feans. Still, if you can think of a better outdoor stage around here, we’d like to hear about it. Just kidding—we know there isn’t one, though you could probably pour one out for your dead homie, Paolo Soleri Amphitheater. (ADV)

Best Wine to Totally Not Sneak into Fort Marcy in Your Backpack Zozobra Red from ­Estrella del Norte Winery 106 N Shining Sun, Nambé, 455-2826

And while we are on the topic of wine … Back in the day, taking a bottle or 12 in your backpack for the Burning of Zozobra was a thing.

That and lots of other stuff. But now there are drones and bulletproof-vest-wearing teams of police and all kinds of people from out of town jammed into a tiny space, and it’s not quite the Party Central that it used to be. Don’t do that. It’s asking for trouble.

Yet there’s hope! You can celebrate with Old Man Gloom in the comfort of your own patio for Fiestas, or any time of the year, with a bottle of Zozobra Red from Las Estrellas winery in Nambé.

Produced with the blessing of copyright-owning Kiwanis Club, the blend of smooth-drinking red grapes grown in New Mexico is a crowd pleaser. And cashing out at $21.99, they make great gifts for people who visit. Winery owners Eileen and Richard Reinders plan to bottle a new vintage this fall. Available since just 2015, it’s already one of their top three selling bottles. Take the short drive out of the city and stroll the shady vineyard and gardens after a tasting.

Best Place to Find Both Bargain Shoes and the Latest Issue of SFR City Shoe Repair

950 W Cordova Road, 983-8264

When your love affair with your favorite cowboy boots or black dress shoes has lasted longer than the soles or the stitches that hold them together, you know you can count on City Shoe Repair to help. But sometimes people move or forget they dropped off their shoes, or they decide they can’t afford to pay the bill. Shop owner Vicente Trujillo then puts them up for sale in the lobby in a don’t-miss display that beats the sale rack at Kohls all to pieces. Where else can you get newly repaired Naturalizer pumps for $10? Nowhere. Plus, and it’s a big plus for us, City Shoe is a popular pickup location for SFR. Trujillo tells us on a recent visit that lots of people drop in on Wednesdays to grab a new copy. SFR circulation manager Andy Bramble says the store, of which Trujillo is a thirdgeneration owner, has been on our route for more than 12 years. (JAG)

Best Reuse of a Formerly CancerPromoting Vending Machine Art-o-Mat at the Inn of the Governors 101 W Alameda St., 982-4333

It’s been three weeks since your last smoke, and the trip to Santa Fe has been anything but stress-free. You’re about to check in at the Inn of the Governors when something in the corner of the lobby catches your eye. A cigarette vending machine? You thought they outlawed those years ago. Before you realize it, you’re locked in its tractor beam. You search for your old friend, Lucky Strike. Instead, you see a cartoon peacock, a wire scorpion and “Wearable Glass by Dawn.” You’ve stumbled upon an Art-o-Mat, the brainchild of North Carolina-based artist Clark Whittington. More than 100 Art-o-Mat machines dispense cigarette box-sized art pieces in the US, England, Austria and Australia. Local artist Victoria Brown hosts the three Santa Fe machines. The other two are at Meow Wolf, in the Siler Road district, and El Centro on Water Street. “We’re going through about 200 pieces a week,” Brown says. Artists from 17 different countries produce work for the Art-o-Mats, including three from Santa Fe. For just $5, you can be the owner of a 3- by 2-inch block of wood bearing an antique postage stamp. Or perhaps you’d like a fabric button hairpin. So go ahead—pull that brass knob and remove the cellophane wrapper. It’s sure to be easier on your lungs than a pack of cigarettes. (AK)

Best Gift to Give a ­Musician without Spending All Kinds of Money on Instruments They’ll Give Up on When They Can’t Get Good at Them Right Away Guitar Lessons with Ross Hamlin

fullcircleguitar.tumblr.com, 699-5470

OK, this one will require your giftee to already own an instrument, but why not give guitar lessons?

We’ve got just the guy, too! Maybe you were there when that Prince tribute band burned the Railyard Plaza to the mother-effing ground and maybe you weren’t, but surely you’ve heard that guitarist Ross Hamlin—an integral member of this and many other bands—slayed big time. Shit, we could call him Shreddy Kruger or Shreddy Prinze Jr. or Shred Schneider or … lots of “shred” names. Anyway, the point is this: Dude rules, and as luck would have it, he teaches lessons to people of all ages. I guess that’s just what graduates of the Berklee College of Music do with themselves in lieu of having actual, tangible, marketable money-making skills.

By spending between $30-$50, you too can play like the masters thanks to Hamlin’s ultra-affordable classes in guitar noodling (also actual playing) and headband wearing. “I combine over 25 years experience and 12 stylistic traditions into an intelligent, fun and challenging musical stew,” Hamlin says.

Best Man Buns

1st place: Mario C Pacheco, barista at Iconik Coffee and server at Paper Dosa Honorable mentions: Joe Haggard, manager at Duel Brewing, and David Grey, artist and former SFUAD professor If you have a man bun, it should incite jealousy with its sheer volume and arouse suspicions of your magical powers and/or great mental prowess.

It’s the promise of the bun, think about it … George Harrison, terra-cotta warriors or, I am just going to say it, Jon Snow. But in recent history, they are just another cringe-worthy trend. We blame Justin Bieber for sporting a bleached nugget atop his noggin circa 2014. Thanks, Biebs, for making it easier to spot a douchebag from a greater distance. Like all trends, some people were ahead of this one, and those are the men we are going to throw nods, not shade, to. Salud aforementioned fellows, for including all the hair on your head into your buns, for having them pre-Beiber, and most importantly, for being masters of your respective crafts, so much so that you convince us there could be magic tied up in those tresses, and that you may be a modern-day samurai or King of the North. Pacheco says, “My advice to men that want to have man buns is, ask a woman around you how they make theirs so pretty.” He’s been growing his current bun for six years, and when SFR asked him if his man bun is magic, he replied, “My man bun is a mystery. I never know how I get it up, and I am surprised when it stays up all night.” Top-notch latte art skills, great man bun, even better jokes. (MER)

Think Santa Feans Wear so They then Wear that Thing when They Come to Visit All of It

Michelle Obama certainly rocked it when she made her visit to Santa Fe Indian School and spoke of the cultural connections among minorities in the US and the desperate need for the next generation to create a nation that walks away from the hate, racism and misogyny that dominate the other half of the political spectrum this election season. But we’ve got to give props, once again, to Santa Fe High’s salutatorian Carley Cook, who used her graduation speech to call out the excessive use of standardized tests in schools and to suggest that if you really want to see more than 67 percent of students finish high school on time, perhaps they shouldn’t be treated as though their test scores are all that matter.

Best Thing Tourists

•

SFREPORTER.COM

We don’t know about you guys, but we don’t come to work on a Tuesday in a fulllength broom skirt cinched with a concha belt and a flower-patterned, button-up blouse, knotted at the waist.

We don’t accessorize with tall cowboy hats, custom extinct snakeskin cowboy boots and a fuck-load of turquoise.

Somehow tourists wear this, in the blistering heat, we might add, and think, Oh hell yeah, I am going to blend right in! “They probably think Santa Fe Style is rhinestone cowgirl,” says local barista Zak Young. It’s part of that Disneylandvibe some expect from this historic place. Overheard on the Plaza a few weeks ago: “Honey, it all looks so real.” It is real, dummy.

This isn’t a theme park full of people dressed in costumes. People live and work real jobs here, okay? Well, kind of, anyway. But most would say they regularly rock a tee shirt and a pair of jeans or “yoga pants and ethnic clothes,” says Young. The real point here—be yourself. Drip in turquoise if you want to, we are all for freedom of expression in the City Different, just don’t do things because you think other people are doing them or because you are afraid to stand out in a crowd. Sheepish moves are how we get people like Trump as a presidential candidate. (MER)

Best Comeback from Pop Quiz to Election Anna Hansen

This year, SFR brought back our favorite election feature: the pop quiz.

For the unfamiliar, we cold-called Santa Fe-area candidates and asked them five questions pertaining to the office they sought. We’ve never explicitly told our quiz-takers that Googling the answers is against the rules. Despite a questionable quiz performance, Hansen unseated sitting county Commissioner Miguel Chavez by earning 58 percent of votes among Santa Fe County Democrats.

She faces no Republican opponent in November, so we’ll look forward to her first Board of County Commissioners meeting in January. Hansen did not respond to interview requests this month, writing only when we nagged her that she was “out of town.” (SH)

Best Ultra-Enthusiastic Interviewee Emily Grimm, aka La Emi

When last we met with the celebrated flamenco dancer, it almost seemed like she couldn’t believe we had asked for some of her time. Simple questions like, “So, you like dancing?” were met with sincere and emotionally explosive comments like, “Oh my! Oh, what a fantastic question that was!”

And it felt good. Usually we either get a bunch of yes-and-no answers or absurdly angry statements about how we’re the death of culture or statements about how whatever band/artist/dancer we’re speaking to doesn’t like labels (which is so effing annoying—YOU KNOW IF YOU PLAY ROCK OR NOT!). Grimm, however, seems to have no problem receiving any kind of press attention, and it’s her ability to intelligently and passionately describe her love of movement that we find exciting. Grimm started lessons through Maria Benitez’ Institute for Spanish Arts when she was barely 4 years old. Her father had worked the box office for flamenco events, and she says she wanted to be a flamenco dancer from as far back as she remembers. We appreciated her über-niceness and now kind of find ourselves wishing that everyone else was as excited to see us instead of cursing the day we were born, like they usually do.

Best Knowitall

Best Helpful Nerd

Mayor Javier Gonzales pretty well nailed it when he looked out over a conference room stacked with people for a city budget presentation, spotted Karen Heldmeyer, and compared the feeling to having to teach a class to your own professor. The former city councilor, who served as chair of the Finance Committee and is a longtime city watchdog, has a mind like a steel trap, and she’s happy to tell you whether you got it right or wrong. No one in this newsroom is exempt from that policy, and we imagine the feedback extends to councilors, who see her habitually make use of those two or three minutes of public comment to layer on background information and advice. (EM)

There’s this weird thing in the nerd community with people acting like they’re the only ones allowed to enjoy the stuff and everyone else fails in checking off whatever arbitrary list of boxes they’ve concocted in their minds to make up for nobody ever wanting to grab hold of their wieners. It’s pretty annoying and can even become taxing when folks get like that, but for those who lean more toward video games and gaming, there’s one guy in town who wants to share with everyone and is so helpful, it’s crazy. GameStop Senior Guest Advisor Ramon Chaparro loves games, is incredibly nice, has super-cool tattoos and is not just out to make a sale; this man wants you to enjoy your purchases, and he makes it clear by talking with you like you’re a person, not just a customer. “I think of it more as a community thing,” Chaparro says of his job. “I want to talk about games, and if I can help you save money while doing that … it’s the circle of life.” Chaparro is extra-pumped for the October release of Gears of War 4, but he is basically a super-fan in all arenas. “Introducing or reintroducing people to games and gaming is really cool,” he adds. You’ve got that right, Ramon, ya old so-and-so. (ADV)

Best Local Comic Book Artist Who Hand-Drew All These Cool Anthropomorphized Illustrations You See in this Part of the Paper Turner Mark-Jacobs Mark-Jacobs blipped up on our radar during the research phase for a recent SFR story about comics in New Mexico, and when we saw his art, we just knew to commission him for that cover. It was a killer representation of local comics heroes in a throwback Marvel Comics style. And then we got to thinking about how his specific style would go well with the humanimal layout for this year’s Best of Santa Fe issue, and the rest is history. Mark-Jacobs still does everything by hand (even his lettering), first creating rough sketches and then completing the work in watercolor. It’s fantastic stuff and even attracted the Palace of the Governors Museum, which hired him to create an original comic about New Mexico history. We think the illustrations are simply gorgeous and imagine Mark-Jacobs will have a long and productive career in the art world, y’know ... if he wants. (ADV) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

FOOD & DRINK Best Dessert that Will Abracadabra Reach out and Grab Ya State Capital Kitchen’s Chocolate Sphere 500 Sandoval St., 467-8237

The simplicity of a well-made crème brulée or the nostalgia of a flaky piece of apple pie can make the heart sing. But sometimes they can also make the eyes roll. This again? Lucky for adventurous eaters, some Santa Fe chefs see the dessert menu as a chance to take risks, make creative leaps and really show off. One of our favorite WOW moments this year was dessert at State Capital Kitchen, where a perfect globe of dark chocolate melted before our eyes with the flick of a server’s wrist. A warm pistachio sauce quickly melted through the thin walls of the chocolate globe. It was sort of like … Remember that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark when that one Nazi got his face melted off because he made the mistake of staring straight at the open Ark? Yeah, it was like that, except more of a positive spiritual experience. The chocolate sphere is delicious and clever and not at all evil. Plus, our faces didn’t melt off, but whatever. The point is that this thing is magical. It’s genius, and it’s delicious. It’s perhaps second only to the restaurant’s exploding passion fruit balls, which are like … Remember that scene in the original Ghostbusters … Oh, never mind. (Gwyneth Doland)

Best Place to Sample Wine and Get a Faraway Mountain View Rancho Viejo Village Market 55 Canada del Rancho, Ste. F, 474-2828

The Village Market is the little beating heart at the center of this suburban development, an oasis in the sagebrush where all the weary travelers meet to pick up a box of crackers, a block of cheese and a bottle of wine. Every Friday night from 5-7, the market hosts a wine tasting, usually three or four different bottles, with a few nibbles on the side, maybe a dip or some cheese and crackers.

The tasting may be small compared to bigger bottle shops, but it’s free, and the market knocks 10 percent off the bottles in the tasting. For the folks who live there, it’s a weekly opportunity to meet and mingle with neighbors new and old. Oenophiles who drive a little farther get to take in the stunning views. Maybe someday they’ll turn this into a little café where you can sit and have a bowl of mussels along with a cold glass of rose. Sigh … one can hope. (GD)

209 E Palace Ave., 989-3505

Damian Muñoz worked his ass off at downtown institution The Shed for about a bazillion years before he struck out on his own with his wife Maria and opened up Palacio just about three years ago. The only business to have successfully operated for more than two seconds in their Palace Avenue location, Palacio has been kickin’ out the breakfast and lunch jams so well that it’s often hard to find a table. “I’m happy. Very happy,” Muñoz says of this very prestigious honor. “I don’t know, I just love people and when I can cook for them.” By the time you read this, Palacio will have opened a second location on Alameda Street (by Del Charro, bro ... see above blurb about directions) to be run by Muñoz’ kids, which is great news for those of us who can barely make it a day or two without their green chile cheeseburger. Breakfast burritos are also a treat since they put hash browns inside the dang things (it’s genius), and a number of lunchy sandwiches round out the varied menu. Just promise yourself you’ll go, because Palacio is straight amazing … did we mention they have the best fries in town? (ADV)

Am I just supposed to ignore that? I can’t do it. I won’t do it. And I shan’t bore you with statistics on how their affordable Mexican, New Mexican and Central American cuisine can lead to a longer and more sexually satisfying life, nor will I go on at length about how putting fries right on top of your tortilla burger (X-mas, of course) is the smartest plan you’ve had since you decided to ditch the ’tude and give my pals at RE a try. Instead, I’ll just point out that the massive and fluffy sopas that come with most meals are like fluffy warm pillows of love. They make ’em fresh, folks, so none of that stale, cold nonsense you’ll find at other restaurants. Instead, a reasonably priced meal that you can stuff inside a just-fried sopapilla.

Best Bougie Happy Hour for Poor People Il Piatto

95 W Marcy St., 984-1091

Have you ever had a fearsome craving for a luxurious, carby meal and thought, Well, that sucks because I’m ballin’ on a budget? Well, fear that craving no more, because at Il Piatto’s happy hour, you can feel bougie, afford gourmet pillows of gnocchi and drink a glass of wine, too.

From 4:30 to 6 pm and 9 to 10:30 pm, the Italian eatery becomes the place (and seriously one of the only places) to grab a meal. Anais Mendez has worked at the pasta haven for six months and says the farm-to-table aspect is attractive, but the best draw during happy hour? “It’s the pricing,” she tells SFR. “We do 50 percent off appetizers, special appetizers and small portions of pasta,” all of which is made by James Beard-nominated chef Matt Yohalem. And to make the deal even sweeter, their 50 percent happy hour discount includes a list of wines by the glass. So have that small plate of potato gnocchi with local oyster mushrooms ($9) and a glass of Pulenta Sauvignon Blanc ($6.50) and leave feeling happy for around $20, depending on your glass count. You don’t have to wait until date night for this treat— bring a book and date yo’self. (MER) CONTINUED ON PAGE 69

You’re missing out if you’re not taking a liberal tour of their menus. The Taqueria a la Hacienda trailer, an island of delicious in a sea of gravel and goat heads, offers an eye-popping foot-long hot dog, wrapped in bacon, speckled with pinto beans, dotted with chopped onion and Jackson Pollocked with ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise and avocado sauce.

The Original Realburger tries to catch your attention with a sign in front of State Farm Insurance and Check ‘n’ Go, as those businesses almost completely block the restaurant from view. There’s even a sidewalk sign on the corner, boasting their win as “Reigning Chomp” in the edible Santa Fe’s Green Chile Cheeseburger Smackdown. But if you’re driving along Cerrillos Road (especially with the ever-lingering construction), you’re likely to miss this hidden haven of mouthwatering munchies. If you want one of the best burgers in Santa Fe, hang a right on Maez Road as you travel south on Cerrillos (mind the construction barrels and careless motorists speeding down the incomplete section of road). We suggest the Tortilla Burger. Ask them to throw on some pepper jack cheese, mushrooms and green chile. You’ll find this concoction of beefy delight melts in your mouth. The French fries aren’t bad either, and they’ll give you a generous serving. If you’re no enemy to cholesterol-spiking (read: delicious) greaseball slabs of meat, and you’ve got $9, make the extra effort to stop by this locationally challenged establishment for lunch or dinner.

EVERYBODY WALK THE DINOSAUR Ohio/Pennsylvania’s Digisaurus has a pretty neat trick up their sleeve: the ability to straddle the fence between commercially viable rock and Grandaddymeets-Prince-esque synth-pop that is so dancey, so festive, so catchy that all y’all suckers are just gonna love it. “I think it’s a different, new sound that I don’t think is typically out there,” says front man/producer/synth player/guitarist James Allison.

“We take a lot of influence from the past and put a modern spin on it, so it’s familiar enough for people to grab onto but new enough for them to experience something different.” Digisaurus also boasts quite the live show with smoke machines, lights and other fun surprises. “We really try to create a show experience,” Allison adds.

Really Good Bad, Bad Things The Pillowman promises just the right speed of torture stark fashion that mirrors their sparse language. In his parables, even what we might see as common and good impulses become weapons of selfdestruction. So, too, do their hideously dark moments illustrate the thin barrier between what makes us laugh and what makes us wince.

If you heard murmurs that the Santa Fe Playhouse is pivoting to more experimental and edgy terrain, that promise is certainly delivered upon in this choice, which was declared at its 2005 New York City debut the most exciting thing going on by The New York Times.

The Pillowman offers no territory for the young or easily squeamish. It is not, to be clear, the kind play everyone will enjoy seeing, but it is exactly the kind of work that everyone should see and allow to skew their perspectives for a moment. If only a brief one.

(Elizabeth Miller) THE PILLOWMAN Through Aug. 7. $20-$25 Santa Fe Playhouse, 142 E De Vargas St., 988-4262

If misogyny and materialism have kept you away from rap music, it’s time to give it another shot with Albuquerque-based rapper Wake Self, a man who represents a growing social conscience in hip-hop. His new album, Malala, is named after Pakistani women’s education activist Malala Yousafzai.

Wake tells SFR that her story inspired him and the hope his album will lead more people to learn about her. While Malala deals with heavy subject matter like “social patterns and psychological disorders,” Wake says not to worry—his upcoming show at Meow Wolf will be so upbeat, “your face is going to hurt from smiling.” (Andrew Koss) Wake Self: 9 pm Saturday July 30. $10-$15.

ART OPENINGS IN THE NAPKIN-KNOW 5. Gallery opens its doors for the very first time Aug. 1 with a show titled Arbeit: Frank and his Dream. The gallery’s founder, Max Baseman, tells SFR, “In many ways the show is inspired by brute or raw art and artists; works created out of necessity that are more compulsion than decoration.” The gallery sent notifications via snail mail announcing its inaugural exhibition with names of participating artists (Rodger Walker, Haste Bowditch, Chris Alia and others) and details typewritten in stark black with an acutal typewriter, on a thin paper napkin. The invitation sparked our design-fancy and Baseman says he hopes people leave the show feeling “a certain sense of silence.” (Maria Egolf-Romero)

COURTESY 5. GALLERY

Years ago, friends of mine went to see a production of The Pillowman and returned raving about it, but also looking a little battle-scarred, as though the shape of their nightmares had forever shifted. That I missed it haunted me— what had they seen, and what did they now know that I did not?

The Pillowman opens on a freshly arrested writer, Katurian (Hamilton Turner), living in an authoritarian dictatorship and finding himself at the mercy of a torture-happy good cop/bad cop duo (Hania Stocker and Warren Houghteling, respectively).

For Katurian, “Once upon a time” perpetually precedes people doing horrible things to one another, which really isn’t all that far from the fairy tales children still grow up with. But now children have begun to die in the bizarrely twisted ways that killed off some of his characters, so the police have arrested him and are threatening him with execution. Ditto his not-allthere brother.

The interrogation cues the retelling of some of his stories, played out in a

Chamber-Made How to turn your kids on to classical music without really trying

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

S

elling the concept of classical music to kids must not be very easy. “Hey, Billy and/or Susie! Today we’re going to go see some old people play classical music. The music itself is old as hell, as far as you’re concerned, and there usually isn’t singing, and rather than sounding like whatever garbage you think is good (looking at you, 21 Pilots—you suck), it’s all about complex movements and arrangements as played by stringed instruments!”

This is probably where you’re thinking something about how your kids work for you and will damn well go where you tell them. Or that you’ve totally heard about how classical music is great for the to-beborn and toddlers and kids someplace before—even though the truth is that the mildly controversial 1993 Mozart Effect study by psychologist Frances Rauscher has been widely questioned and all but discredited and that Rauscher herself has even said it’s way more important to get kids playing music rather than just passively listening. Hold on to that feeling for just a sec, because even though classical music as a genius incubator might not be provable per se, it isn’t like the stuff is going to hurt your kids or anything— culture is, usually, a good thing for people of any age.

“Lots of parents think [the music] is good for their kids,” Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s executive director Steven Ovitsky tells SFR of its youth concert series. “I’ve seen kids as young as … less than 2 years old to kids who are studying music in school and trying to see as many kinds of music as they can.”

The free youth concert portions of the festival become a yearly destination for summer school field trips (and SFCM provides buses for schools with budget shortfalls) alongside open rehearsal programs and a haven for parents and kids who can just walk in off the street, he says. The short sell? It’s brilliant that a classical music festival would not only provide a free series of shows, it’s even cooler that they provide

Kids are allowed to be kids at these concerts, so don’t worry about them being rambunctious—it’s supposed to be fun!

a means for kids to be there.

Generally speaking, young children don’t much have a capacity to hate the arts. Yes, they’ll certainly age and develop their own tastes that usually seem to make the previous generation bemoan how nothing—no, NOTHING—could compare to the halcyon musical days of their own youths (romping through the fens and spinneys), but there’s a joyous quality to a good chunk of classical music that is practically tailor-made for children to enjoy. Probably something to do with Mozart being, like, 8 when he began creating his jams. Either way, the youth program features pieces from the core festival performances and are generally more upbeat than not.

“There are two groups of kids who usually come,” says Deborah Ungar, the festival’s director of education and outreach. “There are the kids who already play an instrument and they say, ‘Oh my gosh! They play my instrument!’ and they get very excited, and then there’s another group who have never played before and maybe haven’t had the exposure but then they think maybe they could do that.”

Ungar, who also teaches in the public school system and performs by night with Balkan folk group Rumelia, has been with the Santa Fe Chamber Mu-

sic Festival since 2001 and says the youth program will continue to expand. Additionally, she says that schools are adapting to the idea of bringing large groups of kids downtown and dealing with parking (though she cites the recent hike in parking meter costs as a fairly serious deterrent) by also getting involved with the museums and making a day of it. It’s important to keep in mind that these free Monday performances are also open to the public, not just schools.

“It’s this kind of bright spot in a cool, beautiful place to hear music,” Ungar says, “where you’re transported to somewhere totally different, where beautiful music is played by intelligent artists who are talking to our kids in smart ways. … From what I’ve seen, the kids really appreciate that.“ As well they should. You’ve got two more chances to check out the youth program concerts before the festival comes to a close. Don’t blow it—Mozart Effect or not.

KEN HOWARD

OPERA

SFO’s Golden Hour

I

BY JOH N STEG E

t is a truth universally acknowledged that an opera worth anyone’s attention is in want of a plot.

So it’s plot, plot, plot for three of the four operas staged thus far in the Santa Fe Opera’s 60th season. With more to come: Samuel Barber’s Vanessa, scheduled to appear July 30.

The exception? Richard Strauss’ Capriccio, his last work for the stage, now playing and pure 24K stuff.

He said it himself: “I can do no better.” Strauss christened this his “Conversation Piece for Music in One Act,” with no more operatic plotting than, say, The Republic, yet another conversation piece. Like Plato’s work, Capriccio consists of an extended argument on a single topic—in matters operatic, which should take precedence. Words? Music?

Strauss conceived of “a treatise on dramaturgy, a theatrical fugue” set in an aristocratic late 18th century chateau. If this sounds a bit dry and theoretical, if you want operatic red meat with heads on platters and bloody matricide to boot, Capriccio may not be the opera for you. But if you value a sophisticated evening of lively civil discourse (rare enough nowadays) elegantly accompanied by the most fluid, fluent music for voice and orchestra that Strauss ever composed, seek no further. An opera about a sonnet? Well, why not!

The action begins with a birthday gathering for the young widowed countess, Madeleine, whose two rival suitors compete for her affection. As gifts, composer Flamand provides a string sextet of surpassing beauty, and poet Olivier offers a love sonnet (cribbed from Ronsard). Nota bene—words vs. music, with Madeleine playing referee. Well, the fix is in, isn’t it? Capriccio’s an opera, not a play; a fusion of words and music with emphasis upon the latter, even though Strauss and his co-librettist, Clemens Krauss, provide ample dramaturgical arguments along the way.

Witty musical allusions abound, peculiarly appropriate to the intended 18th century setting. You’ll hear a bit of Gluck and a bit of his stylistic rival, Piccinni.

Couperin and Lully and Rameau show up, too. Leaping over the years, Strauss even glances at his own Ariadne auf Naxos and Daphne. And among the literary allusions, count Pascal, Voltaire, Metastasio, all delivered with the lightest of touches.

As is usual with Capriccio these days, director Tim Albery fast-forwards the action from its intended 1775. The current show sets the scene in the 1950s, 10 or so years after the opera’s 1942 premier, and splits the action into two acts—likewise a usual practice. Albery chops the setting in two as well. A pair of bleak Bauhaus-y wings frame the chateau’s glazed, gilded central pavilion, all very Louis Quinze. It’s Tobias Hoheisel’s design. You get used to it.

But not to the fact that six non-descript stringplayers saw away onstage during the sublime opening

“Check out this book I’m reading, Harry Potter Sr.,” says this woman. “It’s about how Strauss rules.”

sextet. Subtle? Uh-uh. Contrary to the score? Yes. Destructive to the fragile mood and temper of the piece?

Totally.

Matters improve, Gott sei Dank. Noel Coward hovers amiably over the first half, with bright young things sipping cocktails amid the fervent love-declarations.

Ben Bliss makes his SFO debut playing a nerdy Flamand whose pleasant, light lyric tenor is easy on the ear. SFO veteran baritone Joshua Hopkins, the more passionate Olivier, comes across as quite the ardent suitor.

In another debut singing the earthy-flirty Count, Madeleine’s brother, the warm and capable baritone Craig Verm makes a vigorous impression, although I need to give him my tailor’s address. David Govertsen, as the theater impresario La Roche, blusters mightily, his Trumpery all-about-me monologue hogging the stage as intended. Shelley Jackson and apprentice Galeano Salas exude charm and petulance as the Italian singers.

In a bit of grand luxe casting, Susan Graham plays Clairon—the très chic actress who’s captured the Count’s wandering eye. Elegant and worldly, she looks like she’s ready to jump aboard the next available yacht. And as Strauss’ multi-faceted, somewhat enigmatic Countess, Amanda Majeski provides a poised central figure. She’s played the vulnerable aristocrat in the past—Countess Almaviva in Mozart’s Figaro.

Here Majeski, still warming to the role, sings from the heart in a role that’s a semi-composite of the com-

poser’s great heroines, the Marschallin and Ariadne.

It’s a limpid, lucid portrayal, nowhere more distinctive than in the searching final monologue, Strauss’ most enraptured.

Even the servants get a droll, swift commentary on their betters. Alan Grossman’s excellent Monsieur Taupe, the sleepy, left-behind prompter, prompts the action into a philosophic mode. I cherish the memory of a long-ago Glyndebourne production when the 85-year-old Hugues Cuenod defined the role for good and all. In a neat touch, the Major Domo, Adrian Smith, gets made-up to be a Strauss look-alike. Dancer Beth Miller delights us in her baroque divertissement, choreography by Jodi Melnick.

In a welcome return to the SFO pit, Leo Hussain leads a loving, ever-so-nuanced account of this captivating score. Albery’s direction, after that initial stumble, proceeds apace, aptly aided by Hoheisel’s country-house costumes. Madeleine’s two sumptuous gowns might have emerged from the atelier of Charles James.

But I need to modify that opening steal from Jane Austen. Let’s try Pirandello instead: eight characters in search of an opera.

CAPRICCIO 8:30 pm Wednesday July 27. $15-$243.

THE CALENDAR use term ‘intersex.’ That’s entirely up to her.”

Follow Alice Dreger on Twitter @AliceDreger.

I’m 28 years old and live in the Midwest. I’m intersex, but I identify as female. I am not out about being born intersex. Due to surgeries and hormones, I look like a fairly attractive female. I have been hanging out with a chill hetero guy, and things are getting very flirty. Is it unethical of me to not disclose my intersex-ness to him?

-In New Terrific Erotic Romance “We all have to make decisions about what we disclose to partners or potential partners and when we disclose it,” said Alice Dreger, historian of medicine and science, sex researcher, and author.

Dreger, for readers who may not be familiar with her, is the Founding Board Chair of the Intersex Society of North America and the author of Galileo’s Middle Finger: Heretics, Activists, and One Scholar’s Search for Justice. Intersex, for readers who may not be familiar with the word, is an umbrella term covering dozens of different inborn conditions.

“They all involve someone having something other than the standard male or standard female body as those are defined by doctors,” explained Dreger. “There are lots of different ways to be intersex, including some so subtle that you might never even know you had that particular variation of development.”

So that chill hetero boy you’re thinking about disclosing your intersex-ness to, INTER? He could be intersex himself and not know it. But you do know it, and does “knowing it” obligate you to disclose?

“Lying is a bad idea, of course, but she’s not lying by presenting herself as a woman and identifying as a woman,” said Dreger. “She is a woman, just one whose body came with some parts that aren’t common to most women, or maybe lacking some parts that are common to most women (depending on her particular intersex condition).”

Dreger suggests making a mental list of the things a long-term partner might want, need, or a have a right to know about your history and your body. Then using your best judgment, INTER, decide what to share with him and when to share it.

“For example,” said Dreger, “if this chill hetero guy talks about wanting kids someday, and the letter writer is infertile, she might want to mention sooner rather than later that she was born with a condition that left her infertile.

Do her genitals look or work differently than he might be expecting? If so, she might think about when it would be best to give him some guidance about how her body is a little different and what works best for her.”

Each of us has to balance our partner’s legitimate right to certain information, INTER, with our right to medical privacy as well as our physical and emotional safety.

“There’s no reason for her to feel like she has to announce, ‘I’m an intersex woman.’ She could opt to say, at some point, ‘I was born with congenital adrenal hyperplasia,’ or ‘I was born with androgen insensitivity syndrome,’ or whatever her specific condition might be, and then answer his questions,” said Dreger. “If the label ‘intersex’ were part of her core identity— a critical part of who she feels she is—then she might want to tell him early on, just as someone might talk about her ethnicity if that’s really important to her. But otherwise, she can disclose just like non-intersex people do with regard to fertility, sexual health, sexual sensation, sexual preferences, and sexual function— at a pace and in a way that promotes a good relationship and makes you feel honest and understood. And no one can tell her she has to

My husband looks at porn… porn of women with a body type almost the polar opposite of mine… Example: big boobs and tattoos…

Does that mean he’s no longer attracted to my body? I’m so confused… He says I’m hot and sexy, but what he looks at does NOT make me feel that way.

-Personally Offended Regarding Nudes Is it possible your partner is attracted to… more than one body type? Example: Your body type and its polar opposite?

And if your partner were looking at porn that featured women with your exact body type… would you feel affirmed? Or would you be writing to ask me why your husband looks at porn of women with your exact body type when he can look at you? And is your husband sharing his porn with you… or are you combing through his browser history? Either way, PORN, if looking at what he’s looking at makes you sad… maybe you should stop looking at what he’s looking at? And if he’s not neglecting you sexually… if he isn’t just saying he finds you hot and sexy but showing you he does… why waste time policing his fantasies?

People enjoy what they have and fantasize about what they don’t. So long as we don’t take what we have for granted… it’s not a problem… unless we decide to make it one.

What are your favorite uses for the butt plug besides putting it in your own butt or someone else’s butt?

-Fun Faggy Question They make lovely paperweights, FFQ, and perfectly proportioned pacifiers for adult babies.

But at our place, we use decommissioned butt plugs to play cornhole—which is a beanbag toss game that became popular in the Midwest some years after I moved to the West Coast. (It’s true. Google it.) When I was a kid, we were instructed to run from drunk uncles at family picnics who suggested a little cornholing before dinner. But that was then.

We all have to die, Dan. How would you most like to go?

-Genuinely Not A Threat In a tragic rimming accident.

My partner and I got married last weekend.

For his vows, he wrote a hilarious, wonderful song. (He’s a professional singer in Los Angeles, so the song was pretty spectacular.)

I’m a Femme Dom who loves ropes, while he’s pretty vanilla. Despite that, we’ve had a dynamite sex life for the last eight years, in part because he’s so GGG. Early on, I got him to start reading your column, and that concept made a huge impression on him. Here’s the verse from his song/vows that you inspired: “Now next I should obey you / But that one’s a little tricky / I’m what you call “vanilla”/ And on top of that I’m picky / Instead of blind obedience / I hope it’s understood / I promise to continue / Being giving, game, and good!”

Thanks for all you do!

-Beloved Revels In Dan’s Love Education Congrats on your wedding, BRIDLE, and thanks for a lovely note—one that will give hope to kink-discordant couples everywhere.

Perfect fits, sexually speaking, are rare. But whip a little GGG into the mix, and that imperfect fit can become a perfect match!

Every artist at POP Gallery’s upcoming Memento Mori show opening Thursday, July 28, brings something brilliant to the table but, with respect, former Santa Fean Marie Sena is the one to watch. By melding designs from tattoo, santero, medical illustration and more, Sena’s retablos bring a modern twist on a decidedly New Mexican artform. We spoke to Sena, who now lives in Dallas, about the show.

(Alex De Vore) It seems like not a lot of people outside the tattoo world know your background is in medical illustration?

Isn’t that crazy? There’s not a lot of people who realize there’s this very small niche industry there or the discipline behind the charts you see at the doctor or the illustrations in a medical textbook. I kind of stumbled into it accidentally. It was this two-year master’s at UT Southwestern and it was kind of like med school boot camp. I was in the med classes learning everything that the med students were learning. I liked it because it was like art for a purpose, art for more than art’s sake.

Your work is steeped in tattoo and also religious iconogrpahy. Did you grow up religious or did you just like the imagery?

Both. I was in Catholic school since kindergarten, but I’m also always drawn to old religious iconography or, like, Albrecht Durer engravings. Being raised in New Mexico around all these churches, it’s just something that’s always going to be a part of me. I’ve been doing Spanish Market since 1996, and that artwork is such an undeniably specific part of New Mexico.

And POP Gallery is your exclusive representation here?

They are! I was a big fan pretty much right from when they opened and I was lucky to develop a relationship with them so that when I was starting to look for representation, they just said, “Sure!” Aren’t they just such a cool space?

business in Croatia eventually propelled Ritchel back to the Land of Enchantment.

“A real pull for me back to New Mexico was the land,” says Ritchel. “I can never really explain it, but I just feel really grounded here.” After a few months in Albuquerque, she made the move to Santa Fe and worked her way into the art community. The “toy village” that Ritchel remembered quickly revealed itself to be a city packed with rich histories and invigorating contemporary art. “I was just pounding the pavement. There were so many galleries to see, and I realized that no one was really facilitating that,” she says. “There were a lot of tour guides doing historic walks, but nobody focusing specifically on art. I thought, ‘Well, I’m here, why not start?’”

Ritchel conducted her first tours on Canyon Road last December, guiding participants on a two-hour jaunt through three or four art spaces on what she calls “The Canyon Road Quickie.” These tours often begin at Art House, the Thoma Art Foundation’s noncommercial art space on Delgado Street that exhibits historic and contemporary new media work.

The gallery’s glowing, often interactive art pieces immediately shatter Canyon Road’s reigning paradigm of crumbling adobe and stodgy landscape paintings.

“When I look for work to engage with on a tour, it can’t just be a pretty picture,” Ritchel tells SFR. “There has to be a conversation point, a point of entry. I look for things that spark compelling interpretations.” She’ll often pass out cards that prompt tour participants to interact with objects in unexpected ways and verbalize their gut reactions. Ritchel mashes up different art interpretation tools like the

ne afternoon late last summer, Elaine Ritchel wandered into the courtyard of the Historic Santa Fe Foundation on Canyon Road and pressed her palm against a wall.

It was made of crumbling mud and rough straw—so different from the recently re-stuccoed outer exterior of the 1850s structure. Ritchel had been exploring different corners of the famous art street since moving to Santa Fe the previous winter, and this tactile moment instantly transported her into a bohemian history. “It feels so different from the exterior, like a living, breathing wall,” says Ritchel. “It gave me a glimpse into the past, when Canyon Road was mostly artists selling work out of their studios.”

In the last six months, Ritchel has recreated this moment many times with visitors from across the world as founder of Santa Fe Art Tours, a company that takes a decidedly experiential approach to its expeditions. Ritchel is an avid student of local art history, but many of the stops on her tours reveal an edgier, more contemporary side of the art scene. The young entrepreneur viscerally bridges Santa Fe’s radical past with its rapidly changing present.

“When I was living in Albuquerque, I thought, ‘Oh, Santa Fe is such a tourist town,’” says Ritchel.

Her family moved from Bloomington, Indiana to Albuquerque when she was 14 years old. They would occasionally visit Santa Fe to attend art shows. “I think I read an article once that described Santa Fe as ‘precious,’ and that seemed perfect to me, especially compared to raw, gritty Albuquerque, which is so stark and expansive,” she says. “Santa Fe seemed like this toy village of adobe.”

When she arrived in Santa Fe, Ritchel had recently returned to New Mexico from a three-year stay in Croatia. She had earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in art history from the University of New Mexico and the University of Texas at Austin, respectively, and also completed some Croatian language courses. An internship at the UNM Art Museum sparked her interest in museum education. “Art history was the foundation and gave me the research skills, but then museum education was how I could transfer that love of art and what I was learning to a wider audience in a very personal way,” she says.

In her time overseas, Ritchel fought bouts of homesickness by reading Mabel Dodge Luhan’s memoirs. European modernism was her primary focus in college, but New Mexico modernism—and the expansive terrain that electrified the movement— became a new obsession. Struggles to obtain a work visa and start an independent museum education

Feldman method (describe, analyze, interpret and evaluate) and museum-ed based techniques to create these activities.

These tactics reverse the roles of the tour guide and her participants. At Chiaroscuro Contemporary, Ritchel prompts her clients to examine at the work of sculptor and aerialist Jamie Hamilton from acrobatic angles and discuss what they see. At the Vivo Contemporary artist collaborative, she drums up a Q&A with an artist who’s working in the space. “I always liken it to keeping things in my back pocket,” says Ritchel. “I’ll do a bunch of research on an artist and spend time with the work, but then I hold all that information close until we get to interpretation and I can link it to something that someone else has said.”

Ritchel says Santa Fe’s changing art scene has been an inspiration to her professional pursuits. Her unconventional approach to art exploration fits right into a new wave of creative energy here. “I definitely think something is happening in Santa Fe,” she says.

“There are all of these younger people, younger artists, and artists doing more contemporary work that you wouldn’t expect to find in Santa Fe. It’s kind of this undercurrent right now, which is all the more reason to have someone here helping visitors tap into it. It’s very cool, and very unique.”

Ritchel’s tours are reservation-only, and can be arranged at santafearttours.com. In addition to her Canyon Road tours, she guides clients through galleries and museums in different art districts around town. She plans to launch a series of artist studio tours in the near future.

On her tours, Elaine Ritchel wants to show artworks that cause tangible emotional reactions.

FASHION

Passion is Free

A column for the love of style

BY AMY DAVI S

“FASHION IS THE ARMOR TO SURVIVE THE REALITY OF EVERYDAY LIFE”

R

-Bill Cunningham

ecently, legendary New York Times street style/fashion photographer Bill Cunningham passed away at 87 and it shocked the fashion world. Bill was a genius and as sweet as candy pie, a true artist. His photographs are fast, sharp and exquisite. He inspired me to be cool, he reminded me to be kind, and I will miss him; I had the honor to meet him during NYC Fashion Week in 1996 at a coffee truck. Cunningham understood what fashion is and can be, how it heals and lifts us up out of the mire of the mundane.

It is what art should always be. Brilliant. Eternal. Sublime.

Style is what you do with this shining fire called fashion. Style is unique and pure and cannot be taught or bought. Style is rare and you’ll never find it at North Face. OK … mebbe if you rock it with a slash of oldskool sea-punk dipped in chaos magic, perhaps? Yes, I dare you! Make North Face avant and style forward. I double dare you!!

This is the only way to exact style out of the ether.

You don’t need to know or even understand fashion to have amazing style. It’s happening right now globally in very poor countries (check out books like (un)Fashion by Tibor and Maira Kalman). It’s happening in very rough ghettos and upper crust prep schools. You don’t need anything but passion—and bonus—passion is free! That beautiful snowflake of uniqueness

that got squashed out of you cuz life got hard or you had kids or forgot your dreams or lost all your chachinga? Be here now, baby. Not in 5 pounds or when your hair grows out. N-O-W! You don’t need to be rich to look like a super fine bitch! I wear a $4 dress I got at Buffalo Exchange in Albuquerque and bop around town and get a billion compliments on said frock. No one knows the price.

OK, now you do, but SHHH! It’s the multicolored schmatta with the plunging butt action: GENIUS! If you give even a microscopic shit what the world thinks of you, you are pretty much sunk in the Style department. Actually, in every department Santa Fe is a bubbling cornucopia of unpicked genius style at every turn, from the flea markets to the second-hand stores to sales at Bodhi Bazaar (DeVargas Center, 564 N Guadalupe St., 982-3880), Spirit (109 W San Francisco St., 982-2677) and Santa Fe Dry Goods (53 Old Santa Fe Trail, 992-8083). We have juicy pickings from incredible talents like Isabel Marant to vintage London brand Ghost

at consignment shops like Ooh La La (518 Old Santa Fe Trail, 820-6433) and the Marfa hipster meets Parisian chic at eclectic gen, La Boheme (663 Canyon Road, 992-8043). It’s a wild giddy treasure hunt!

Style is ageless, timeless and ruleless. It’s vintage rich hippy draped in dime store beads. It’s your fave sweatshirt with pale glitter dusted stilettos. It’s pocket squares and norm-core with dreadlocks. It’s what makes you you—the best version of you.

Even that weirdo North Face you insist on wearing? If it’s you and makes you feel wicked-ass rad then, voila! It’s your style. I may not dig it but so what?

You don’t care, right? Right. Right. Friggin’. ON! So, on cool Santa Fe nights under our sapphires skies with a smile more brilliant than all the stars scattered throughout the cosmos, wear what makes you you. Be true and know you are home and we are rich.

Day-glo ink-splattered sweatshirts and dull grey slouchy pants with a very Eurodipped, “I don’t care!” ‘tude dolloped on top. Quite scrumptious!

GLOBAL RUNNER-UP: All Gucci for the Last Three Seasons Rumpled dandy/bad boy Alessandro Michele has taken the brand by the balls and squeezed hard. Everything is delish, albeit campy and trampy and day-glo flouncy and lacy—and that’s just the menswear. It’s perfect for a stroll through Best Buy on Cerrillos Road.

hile the Plaza Café downtown may recall the City Different’s Greek roots, its Southside compatriot feels more firmly planted in the charms of another era—a chromeplated, neon-lit, milk-shaking era. The Plaza Café Southside fuels indulgences in the classic pleasures of a hamburger and French fries ($11.95) or 8-ounce grass-fed rib-eye steak and cheese enchiladas ($21). Wander off the beaten (and beef-driven) track to try the crispy avocado tacos ($12.95), avocado encrusted with crunchy quinoa, sesame and poppy seeds topped with a colorful splash of pickled onion, cilantro, corn and red pepper and accompanied by a trio of salsas, the smoky red salsa matching particularly well. Round your meal out with a slice of caramel apple pie ($6.45), or get a little adventurous and go for the red velvet flan ($6.45), a dense layer of red velvet cake with creamy flan on top, a melt-in-your-mouth, expletive-inducing combination. Enjoy it all inside, amid the vinyl and chrome, or take it outside onto a pleasantly shaded patio on the San Isidro Plaza, facing the Regal Stadium 14. (Elizabeth Miller)

Star Trek Beyond Review: Space Sadness by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

Space: the final frontier. An infinite vacuum of darkness wherein a film series can come out strong and full of promise but then eventually devolves into a by-the-numbers affair that repeatedly follows the same plotlines apparently forever and ever while its custodians

keep busy on other IPs like Star Wars.

Thus is Star Trek Beyond.

When we rejoin the crew of the Starship Enterprise in the midst of their 5-year mission to, uh, study … space stuff, tensions are high. James T Kirk (Chris Pine and his hairless chest) is listless, and his stalwart crew is feelin’ it, too. Crazy things have happened to these people, much of which we’ve seen

formances—the writing is just boring; hackneyed, even. This is odd considering Simon Pegg’s usual caliber of work, but the infinite Star Trek loop of “crew gets in over their head/crew gets separated from ship/crew perseveres while doing whatever it takes to get things done” goes so beyond formulaic (maybe that’s the Beyond to which they were referring) that it’s borderline irritating.

No new ground is tread whatsoever to the point that it’s hard to tell if Beyond is even actually different from 2013’s Into Darkness, only this time we don’t have Benedict Cumberbatch’s wild and wooly magnetism to even things out.

As villains go, Elba ranks among the flattest, and his ultimate motive is so thin and tiresome that they could’ve easily chosen just about anything else for better results. Thus, the film feels lazy. Plot points are telegraphed so obviously, interactions feel forced and tiresome and, worst of all, audiences are underestimated. This particular reboot series certainly has promise and deserves credit for its alternate timeline subtext. That said, the filmmakers behind the series have done better before, and it sure would be nice if they’d try a little harder next time.

STAR TREK BEYOND Directed by Justin Lin With Pine, Quinto, Cho, Pegg and Elba Violet Crown, Regal, DeVargas PG-13, 122 min.

SCREENER

yay!

yay!

A thoroughly disappointing enterprise

before, but it would seem the previous insanity they’ve faced wasn’t enough to stave off space-boredom.

This is why, when the captain of an attacked ship appears alone in the Federation’s newest and most absurd space station and begs for help in retrieving her ship and crew, Kirk, Spock (a painfully boring Zachary Quinto of American Horror Story), Sulu (the always charismatic John Cho of Harold & Kumar, who is given a pointless twosecond “he’s gay, how novel” backstory that even pissed off the original Sulu, George Takei), Bones (Judge Dredd’s Karl Urban), Chekov (the late Anton Yelchin), Scotty (Simon Pegg, who also boasts a writing credit for this outing) and the rest of the gang jump at the chance to lend a hand. But of course the whole deal isn’t as it seems, and the Enterprise crew winds up stranded on some distant planet thanks to Krall (Idris Elba), a mysterious space-jerk who leads a species that utilizes swarm-like military space-tactics and who wants something the Enterprise has onboard.

There’s also a shipwrecked alien named Jaylah (Sofia Boutella) hanging around who loves Public Enemy, cracks wise at every turn and uses space-gadgets to space-fight everyone. Krall is pretty furious for mysterious space-reasons, and he circumvents the aging process by space-vampiring the redshirts.

And it’s weak. The promised peril never feels urgent, and it isn’t even that we can blame the actors for bad per-

“The whole journey just seems kind of

silly. Or monumentally depressing—we can’t really decide”

GHOSTBUSTERS

We’ll admit that we were, shall we say, apprehensive about Bridesmaids director Paul Feig’s new foray into the Ghostbusters universe. In our defense, that first trailer was horrible, and we were actually pretty much prepared to write the whole thing off. Crisis averted. The new cast is completely stellar, with enjoyable and hysterical performances from everyone. Kristen Wiig (Brides­maids) shines as pensive physicist Erin Gilbert who, earlier in life, wrote of the metaphysical with brash fellow scientist, Abby Yates (Melissa McCarthy). Through a spooky series of events spurred by a mysteriously sinister hotel bellman, the pair, along with sassy subway worker Patty Tolan (SNL’s Leslie Jones) and ultra-weird/ ultra-genius Jillian Holtzmann (a scenestealing Kate McKinnon, also of SNL) get down to the business of bustin’ ghosts in the funniest of ways. Soon the fearsome foursome opens a lab/business of sorts, and along with their boneheaded receptionist, played brilliantly stupid by Thor’s Chris Hemsworth, they tackle horrors from the afterlife.

Those who may look back to the original films with rose-colored glasses will find plenty to love here, so long as they haven’t completely made up their minds before they enter theaters (or they aren’t like

those ridiculous jerks who would hate a film just for having a female cast). An update hasn’t hurt the franchise whatsoever, and we’re a little confused by the ire since a vast number of films these days are either remakes, reboots or sourced from other material.

This Ghostbusters strikes the perfect balance between new/funny enough and throwback/fan service-y enough to click our nostalgia into high gear.

Pepper in shriek-worthy cameos from almost all of the original cast and supporting roles from fairly prominent actors and comedians like Michael K Williams, Matt Walsh, Zach Woods, Cecily Strong and many more, and we’ve got one of those fun summer blockbusters like they used to make. Oh sure, there’s a whole mess of CGI and a small number of missteps to nitpick, but as an overall product, Ghostbusters completely nails it.

You ain’t afraid of that, are you? (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 116 min.

THE INFILTRATOR In the 1980s, cocaine was king, and South American drug lords were making just crazy bonkers money by exporting their product into America through various port cities like Miami. They had plenty of help from banks, too, and before anyone really realized it, the drug trade became a full-blown epidemic.

And that’s the setting for the new Bryan Cranston-led film, The Infiltrator. Based on a book by former undercover customs agent Robert Mazur, the story follows one of the largest drug busts in American history through the eyes of the agent himself (who became a fake money launderer) and looks into the brutal tactics employed by Pablo Escobar and his Medellín cartel. At first, it’s riveting to see the emotional and psychological toll it takes on the cops as they embed themselves into the drug trade through any means necessary, but there are ultimately too many tired devices utilized, and the film ends up lagging. It’s almost as if they had most of a great movie and then realized there wasn’t a strong ending, so they wrapped it up as quickly as possible.

Cranston provides a perfectly fine performance as the embattled agent who repeatedly puts work ahead of family (though it seems to have no lasting effect one way or another on his marriage and home life, at least so far as we’re shown), and his fellow agents, played by John Leguizamo and Diane Kruger, provide little more than reactionary lines to his risky moves like, “Yeah, I’ve got your back!”

Benjamin Bratt brings a certain oomph to his role as one of the bad guy higher-ups in the cartel, and his charming performance shows that sometimes undercover work CONTINUED ON PAGE 99

“Because it’s girls!” is not acceptable reason to dislike this movie.

A FILM BY HEIDI EWING & RACHEL GRADY

2colto(3.75”) is totally super-hard when you start like x 7” calming and profound that I found myself getyour targets! Everyone else just kind of exists in a vacuum, and they wait for Cranston to be onscreen so they can do crazy-terrifying things to let us know just how much is on the line.

For the most part, this works, but they never quite make us care enough about Cranston or Leguizamo (or anyone, for that matter).

The Infiltrator is certainly not boring, but if you’re looking for anything more than a paintby-numbers thriller, based on a true story or not, this is not your film. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 127 min.

THE SECRET LIFE OF PETS One begins to wonder how many “this is what the toys/pets/cars/planes/appliances do when you aren’t watching” films we’re expected to suffer through at this point, and The Secret Life of Pets isn’t helping. One of those odd-couple stories, Pets follows Max, a stereotypically dog-ish dog voiced by Louis CK—who we think probably just took the role because he has young daughters. Max totally loves his owner, Katie (a flat Ellie Kemper from Kimmy Schmidt), but when she brings home a dog named Duke (Modern Family’s Eric Stonestreet), he has a hell of a time adjusting. Sure, they work it out after a series of zany adventures, but once the initial sickeningly cute factor has finished its fullfrontal assault, Pets cracks under the pressure of how many times we’ve already seen this movie.

There’s an impressive cast featuring usually very funny actors and comedians like Albert Brooks, Jenny Slate, Steve Coogan and Dana Carvey, but not even they can save this movie from itself, and the formulaic drag of learning to love others for who they are remains tired.

Most performances are fine, just fine, but Kevin Hart as an insane bunny (are we supposed to find it hilarious that a bunny probably wouldn’t talk or act like that?) is, at the risk of putting too fine a point on it, the absolute worst.

Illumination Entertainment can be commended for their gorgeous and detailed New York City and for trying to throw in some weird stuff (like a psychedelic dreamland of living sausages singing from Grease), but even children will probably feel insulted by how utterly unfunny the final product winds up being.

Before that, she covers four railroad cars completely in crochet work and then helps make a mermaid swim with marine animals in Hawaii.

When the camera cuts to her hands, they’re literally moving fast enough to blur.

The observation and reverence for the 2col (3.75”) x 5.25” =10.5” rhythmic nature of these artforms from new director Una Lorenzen serves to naturally knot together the work. And even though that sentence was contrived, the arc of story in the film does not feel that way. Lorenzen seems to capture the essence of how her subjects connect to their art and how they see it as that and not simply craft, clothing or kitsch.

Children who climb and bounce on a swaying knitted play structure make fiber sculptor Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam contagiously happy as she explains how she transitioned from art that hung untouched to art meant to serve a deep human need. The inclusion of a profile of the co-ed Cirkus Cirkör’s show with yarn as a theme adds enough masculine energy to the storylines to keep the balance. And balance they do, on tiny tightropes, all the while relating that the meaning of the act, the meaning of life, is in the striving, the changing. (JAG) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 76 min.

MOVIES

ok Infiltrating is hard work, and it’s waiters who pay the price. who, over the course of the film, becomes one of the strangest characters we’ve ever seen.

Hank is stranded on the coast someplace, but when Manny washes up on the shore in all his decaying glory, Hank begins to use the body as a means to sort through all his selfperceived personal failings and mental issues.

Manny starts to come to life (sort of) and simultaneously acts as water spigot, firearm, wood-chopper and, oddly, fart-propelled jetpack/jet ski.

It is definitely fun to see his “powers” revealed over the course of the story, but ultimately, they are about the best thing one can say for this tale. Swiss Army Man isn’t like anything else you’ve ever seen, that’s for sure, but it lags throughout and is almost painfully self-aware. It becomes hard to differentiate between the kids-playing-in-the-yard aesthetic and the seriously sad realization that Hank is probably just insane and hasn’t realized it. The premise itself is interesting enough, and Dano does find an oddly perfect balance between

relatable neurotic and unhinged lunatic wherein we feel along with him despite ourselves and see our own shortcomings in his openness.

But everything is just so preciously selfindulgent that by the time the credits roll and the “twist” ending begins to sink in, the whole journey just seems kind of silly. Or monumentally depressing—we can’t really decide.

Radcliffe, however, is practically perfect, and his mostly motionless take on a 20-something dead guy who is also basically a newborn provides some brilliantly timed laughs. There’s a fine line between legitimate eccentricity and forced weirdness, and though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly where Swiss Army Man falls on that spectrum, it’ll probably only be enjoyed by a very specific kind of moviegoer.

This isn’t to say it isn’t worth a watch, more like it’s really just only OK and pretty much everyone else can just wait for it to hit Netflix in the coming months. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 97 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE/ MASSAGE Rob Brezsny

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) For many years, my occupation was “starving artist.” I focused on improving my skills as a writer and musician, even though those activities rarely earned me any money. To ensure my survival, I worked as little as necessary at low-end jobs—scrubbing dishes at restaurants, digging ditches for construction companies, delivering newspapers in the middle of the night, and volunteering for medical experiments. During the long hours spent doing tasks that had little meaning to me, I worked diligently to remain upbeat. One trick that worked well was imagining future scenes when I would be engaged in TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The people of many cultures exciting creative work that paid me a decent wage. It took a while, but eventually those visions materialized in have imagined the sun god as possessing masculine my actual life. I urge you to try this strategy in the qualities. But in some traditions, the Mighty Father is incomplete without the revitalizing energies of the Divine coming months, Libra. Harness your mind’s eye in the Mother. The Maoris, for example, believe that every night service of generating the destiny you want to inhabit. the solar deity has to marinate in her nourishing uterine SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have every right to celbath. Otherwise he wouldn’t be strong enough to rise in ebrate your own personal Independence Day sometime the morning. And how does this apply to you? Well, you soon. In fact, given the current astrological omens, you’d currently have resemblances to the weary old sun as it be justified in embarking on a full-scale emancipation dips below the horizon. I suspect it’s time to recharge spree in the coming weeks. It will be prime time to seize your powers through an extended immersion in the deep, more freedom and declare more autonomy and build dark waters of the primal feminine. more self-sufficiency. Here’s an important nuance to the work you have ahead of you: Make sure you escape the GEMINI (May 21-June 20) An Interesting Opportunity tyranny of not just the people and institutions that limit is definitely in your vicinity. It may slink tantalizingly your sovereignty, but also the voices in your own head close to you in the coming days, even whisper your that tend to hinder your flow. name from afar. But I doubt that it will knock on your door. It probably won’t call you seven times on the phone or flash you a big smile or send you an engraved invitation. So you should make yourself alert for the Interesting Opportunity’s unobtrusive behavior. It could be a bit shy or secretive or modest. Once you notice it, you may have to come on strong—you know, talk to it sweetly or ply it with treats.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) [Editor’s note: The counsel offered in the following oracle was channeled from the Goddess by Rob Brezsny. If you have any problems with it, direct your protests to the Queen Wow, not Brezsny.]

It’s time to get more earthy and practical about practicing your high ideals and spiritual values. Translate your loftiest intentions into your most intimate behavior. Ask yourself, “How does Goddess want me to respond when my co-worker pisses me off?”, or “How would Goddess like me to brush my teeth and watch TV and make love?” For extra credit, get a t-shirt that says, “Goddess was my co-pilot, but we crash-landed in the wilderness and I was forced to eat her.”

SFR Bookmarks Reading Club

#3 club offering THE HOUR OF LAND A Personal Topography of America’s National Parks

by Terry Tempest Williams

From the Grand Tetons in Wyoming to Acadia in Maine to Big Bend in Texas and more, Terry Tempest Williams creates a series of lyrical portraits that illuminate the unique grandeur of each place while delving into what it means to shape a landscape with its own evolutionary history into something of our own making. Part memoir, part natural history, and part social critique, The Hour of Land is a meditation and a manifesto on why wild lands matter to the soul of America.
