COVER, JUNE 8: “MUSIC ISSUE”

KUDOS FOR MUSIC I really enjoyed the annual “Big Music Issue” of your paper and thought it a grand way to celebrate and support our local New Mexican music scene, musicians and bands.

Kudos to the SFR staff who wrote articles, to music writer Alex De Vore and the guest writers who reviewed 40 + recordings.

I read every one of them, and I learned a bunch about new music, teachers, the artists and the Santa Fe music scene.

Please give my thanks to Jonny Leather for the thoughtful and well-written review of my own recording The Whole Wide World.

Paz y amistad.

FRED SHUMATE SFREPORTER.COM

EXPAND YOUR MIND Alex De Vore’s belittling review of Busy McCarroll’s “O Fair New Mexico” only serves to reveal his small-mindedness.

This 1915 state song has been freshly arranged by McCarroll to truly represent the state’s multicultural sound. Using local musicians, this song represents everything that de Vore’s review is not. You can’t put a dollar amount on the generous heart and soul behind it.

As the state song, it should be promoted by the state in its advertising, freely given away at tourism visitor centers and to every NM schoolchild, and placed on all hotel front desks.

Shame. Your snarky analysis of the La Montanita protest prompted by their sale of herbicide-sprayed produce shows that SFR fails to make the connection between the use of these toxins and social and environmental justice. It’s not that customers are anti-choice—tainted, low-quality produce is available everywhere.

Co-op members rich and poor are willing to pay more not to have to pee glyphosate, also known as Roundup, designated as a probable carcinogen by the World Health Organization.

Further, kids, ag workers and vast natural environments are awash in the stuff.

It’s a mainstream issue in Europe, which is why the EU is deadlocked on reauthorizing Monsanto’s profitable poison.

WE COMPLY, WITH REGRET I cannot say how offensive and disappointing your “listing” of our upcoming event is to us and our community. ... Called Back Books is an an avant garde press working ... at the intersection of contemporary film, visual art [and] philosophy. We ... relocated to Santa Fe (although one of our editors was born and raised here) in the hopes of invigorating the local contemporary poetic landscape and offering an alternative to the “audiencesnapping” you so glibly reference.

Perhaps as so-called representatives of “arts and culture,” you might want to do some background checking—as a simple visit to our website ... might have allayed your pedestrian fears. We constantly come across locals and visitors who are searching for places in which to locate the contemporary pulse of Santa Fe. Your posting is a disservice to them, as well as to us. …

We request not to be published in the next edition of SFR. We have no wish to be associated with your publication in any way.

KEEP ON TRUCKIN’ We need less restrictions on mobile vending, not more. The practical effect of the downtown Plaza periphery restriction is that nobody currently uses the two spots because they are in the wrong part of downtown, can only be used from after 6 pm and require additional permitting.

This type of classic Santa Fe over-regulation is stifling to growth and opportunity, and preserves downtown’s sky-high rents.

Imagine if anyone could could park a mobile business downtown, it would challenge the status quo around rents that are too high for local businesses and unsustainable for all but the most successful tourist-focused businesses.

Any amendment to the ordinance should create new mobile vending locations (Galisteo and San Francisco, Washington and Nausbaum at the least) within the Plaza periphery, not restrict more areas of downtown.

City’s community garden program flourishes despite the efforts of a few furry interlopers

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

O

nly one plot remains up for grabs this season among Santa Fe’s eight community gardens. That means it won’t be long before city Parks Project Specialist Jessie Esparza will be looking for ways to expand. “We have a really great program,” Esparza says. “Every year, I get 10-15 e-mails saying, ‘We just moved to Santa Fe. We see you have gardens.’”

Bite-sized strawberries hang from floppy forbs in a plot in Maclovia Community Garden, in a park just a few blocks off Cerrillos Road. A few feet away, a row of young artichokes sprout from the soil. In Colonia Prisma Community Garden on the Southside, green and red corrugated plastic walls surround Marty Carvlin’s tomatoes. Water insulates the walls, absorbing sunlight to keep the plants warm in the chilly desert night. “I’m going to have to take them off pretty soon, because it’s getting a little hot,” she says. “But they love it.”

The shared gardens are peppered throughout the public open space, mostly in what Esparza refers to as “pocket parks.” The city established its first community gardens in 2009 with Frenchy’s Field and Maclovia, adding more as the venture proved successful. A 9-by-4-foot plot in one of the gardens costs $15, the city provides access to water, and Esparza delivers

Marigolds at the Cielo Vista Community Garden and artichokes at the Maclovia location are part of borrowed plots available for rent by urban gardeners at $15 a pop.

free manure whenever necessary, so the only thing a gardener need bring is a spade, some seeds and a green thumb.

Each garden is managed by a mayordomo (which is a fancy word for the person in charge, and a nod to the managers of the region’s historic, and in some cases still functioning, acequias). Christie Green, whose Radicle Landscape Design business helps clients develop sustainable gardens, says that one of the greatest challenges to maintaining a community garden is finding someone sufficiently dedicated to overseeing it. “Unless they’re really a hard-core gardener, we don’t have time or energy for it. We’re just going to go to the Farmers Market.”

Though Green has her doubts about the level of commitment to community gardens, she says it’s “one of the best ways to connect with people.” She sees the excitement in her friends when they post pictures on Facebook of food they have grown themselves. “We live in a time of expedited excess and zero appreciation for what you’ve gotten. Tending the soil, growing plants, it is a miracle. The tiniest of seeds produces a ton of food. I don’t think it ever becomes something that people take for granted.”

Most of Santa Fe’s community gardeners live within a short bike ride away from their plots. Some live across the street. Amy Anderson meets Carvlin early Saturday morning at Colonia Prisma. “It was so close to my house,” Anderson says. “I’m able to just walk over here.” Among Anderson’s crop are cucumbers, sugar pumpkins and ornamental corn. That last one was the idea of Anderson’s 8-year-old daughter, Celine. She not only picked the seeds out, but she planted them as well.

Carvlin says that growing her own food forces her to eat seasonally. It’s also fresher and closer to her home. “I try not to drive all over the place, and I try to think about the carbon footprint on anything I buy, not just groceries.”

This personal level of involvement with one’s food is exactly what Maria Bernardez teaches at Mother Nature Center. Her organization educates children on the basics of gardening. “It’s very meditative and very healthy to work in the garden,” Bernardez says.

When you grow your own food, “things are going to be fresh. Things are going to taste much better.”

One might expect that growing fruits and vegetables in a desert climate would be difficult, but Bernardez says that’s not the case. With just a small plot of land, access to water and some clean soil, the sun will do the rest. “Plants need a lot less sunshine than you think here in New Mexico.” She says it’s important to use soil that is free of pesticides, waste or other chemicals. She recommends her clients grow their fruits and vegetables in boxes of dirt that they know is clean. Plus, it can take time to build clay and sand into soil with compost.

“It wasn’t the easiest soil to work with,” Anderson says as she grabs a line of hose and sprays her fledgling seedlings, “but I tried to grow some stuff that I think is a more traditional crop that wouldn’t be too delicate.” Despite the difficulty she says, “it looks like everything’s coming up pretty well.”

Yet it’s not always the climate or the soil that gardeners need worry about. The biggest threat to community gardens is the vegetable-thieving prairie dog.

Frenchy’s Field Park served as the home of the city’s first public community garden. According to Esparza, one of the conditions Bernard “Frenchy” Parachou made when he bequeathed his land to the city was that the prairie dogs not be removed. As a result, the Parks and Recreation Department made several failed attempts at keeping the critters out of the garden’s 16 plots. The prairie dogs ultimately won the battle, and the garden had to be closed. “They eat everybody’s stuff,” Esparza says, “and of course, you’re going to get discouraged.”

Luckily, none of the other gardens in city parks have that mandate, so if prairie dogs become a problem, they can be relocated in a humane fashion. So far there have been no reported sightings at the other gardens, though Carvlin did spy a squirrel checking out her radishes. It has yet to devise a plan of attack as of presstime.

Most gardens have a waiting list to get in, but anyone interested in snapping up Colonia Prisma’s remaining plot for a late-season crop can contact Esparza at 955-2106.

Stronger, Faster Elections

STEVEN HSIEH

Local voting results from primary night could come quicker

BY STEVE N H SI E H steven@ s fre p o r te r.co m

I

f you watched primary election returns in Santa Fe County last Tuesday evening, you probably stayed up pretty late. It took more than an hour after polls closed for the public to see partial results, and for many races, final results didn’t come in until after 11 pm.

The delays here marked a sharp contrast to elections in other parts of New Mexico. Neighboring counties, including Bernalillo, posted partial results minutes after the last voters ticked off their ballots.

Early votes and absentee ballots played a big role in the wait. According to Santa Fe County Clerk Geraldine Salazar, election workers uploaded 11,662 early voting and 1,129 absentee paper ballots prior to entering primary day results to the secretary of state’s system.

Steve Fresquez, chief deputy of the Bureau of Elections, says part of the holdup stemmed from the choice to hand-deliver a memory card containing early voting results from a warehouse in the southeastern part of the city to the clerk’s office downtown that evening. Fresquez says the first results weren’t uploaded until about 8:30 pm.

Bernalillo County Clerk Maggie Toulouse Oliver says her election workers processed most of the county’s 9,886 absentee ballots before Election Day. They also uploaded 48,106 early voting results into the reporting system by Tuesday afternoon.

“We’d rather start early and finish early, rather than start late and finish late,” Toulouse Oliver tells SFR.

Primary election day brought record turnout to New Mexico, but the timing of election results didn’t break any records.

When asked whether the clerk’s office received complaints about late results, Salazar replies, “The only people discussing that are reporters. Because everyone who knows what it takes to run an election, they know there are many details involved with this.”

She adds, “We don’t have an enormous staff. We had an employee retire recently. My staff pulled together and got the job done. The most important thing is everything got done.”

Santa Fe County also differs from larger jurisdictions in that it still uses an older method for checking voter registration. The way our system works right now, voters must cast their ballot at their assigned polling station, which is tied to the precinct in which they live. If someone shows up at the wrong station, tough luck; ballots may only be cast in the designated spot.

On primary day, SFR encountered several voters who attempted to vote at the wrong polling station, only to be redirected to another location.

It doesn’t have to be that way. Bernalillo, Sandoval and Doña Ana counties all use so-called voter convenience centers, which allow any registered voter to fill out a paper ballot at any polling station.

The county hopes to transition to the more contemporary method by 2018, according to Salazar.

’S A S O P farano Za

“It’s much easier,” she says. “We would love it.”

Salazar says she paid close attention when the city of Santa Fe tried voting centers for its March municipal elections. The city consolidated 33 precinctspecific stations to 12 centers, where anyone could go. While the system didn’t seem to increase voter turnout, city Clerk Yolanda Vigil reported that for that election, her office received fewer calls from residents unsure of where to vote.

As poll workers at voter convenience centers use the internet to look up registration records, one hurdle for Santa Fe could be poorer network connections near the north and south county boundaries. Salazar says that’s one big reason why the county has not made such a switch yet.

One option around internet connectivity difficulties could be a hybrid system, wherein the county uses both voter centers closer to the city and precinct-based polling stations in rural areas, according to Kenneth Ortiz, spokesman for Secretary of State Brad Winter.

If county commissioners approve that plan, local dollars won’t be funding any new equipment.

The New Mexico secretary of state is required to provide counties with all the resources for running elections.

Mexican wolf management to appease livestock producers may run out the clock on recovery

golden eagle crouched against a band of rocks that abuts a cattle pen in the Gila National Forest catches the eye first, causing a pause to look for what’s brought the bird to the ground. The eagle doesn’t linger, disappearing rapidly amid the tops of ponderosas. On the far side of the cowpie-strewn basin, a reddish brown hulk has been draped over a downed tree.

Once close enough to see that the cow’s hindquarters have been severed and its bare hip socket writhes with insects, the stench hits. From uphill and upwind, a game trail threading off into the woods appears. Follow it, and the trap snapping shut is silent, even as it misses clipping a heel. The teeth are so close together that none of the dark, rain-wet soil is visible between the thin rubber padding that covers the edges of the steel leg trap.

The wolf being hunted is M1396, named “Guardian” in an annual contest

run by Lobos of the Southwest for Albuquerque schoolchildren to name 17 wolf pups born in 2014. “Guardian” was suggested by a sixth grader who wrote that he chose it “because wolves need a guardian to keep them safe and to help their population rise.” He hoped a wolf named Guardian would be “a good luck charm to all the other wolves out in the wild trying to survive” and a guardian of the species so it never goes extinct.

Last month, Guardian was caught in a leg trap, moved to a kennel and transported to a pen to live out his days.

He follows his brother, m1384, who the same contest had named “Century.”

The pair of sixth graders who suggested the name wrote, “About 100 years ago there was a big abundance of Mexican gray wolves, and now they’re being reintroduced. This wolf species almost went extinct because of settlers that moved into their territory. … When the wolves had less territory to hunt, they would find it easy to hunt the settler’s cattle.” Those same settlers, the students’ essay contin-

dangered Wolf Center in Missouri, the source of some of the pups moved from captive-born dens into wild ones this spring in an effort to increase genetic diversity.

“When you’re trying to increase the population of a critically endangered species, removal of any individual, especially when you’re down to just about 100 in the wild, is the opposite of what you want to do,” Mossotti says.

When a pair of wolves has whelped, the female stays with the puppies for the first few weeks before they’re able to leave the den she’s dug for them, and her mate and other pack members will bring her food.

Contrary to the snarling approach to first-dibs that might appear on Animal Planet, Mossotti says, “The pack eats together, and it’s kind of the all-for-one, one-for-all mentality. The pack is only as strong as each individual, and each individual is only as strong as the pack, so if anybody is weak or hurt or hungry, they can’t hunt, and if they can’t hunt, the whole pack suffers.”

“Alpha” is just a designation of leadership, like a mother and father lead a human family, she says. They protect and teach the next generation.

Disrupting that family by taking an alpha can mean the loss of the entire litter and force the female to leave her pups behind permanently so she can resume hunting for her own survival.

“It’s devastating to the pack to lose

S. M

ues, then felt afraid for themselves and their livestock, and so began killing the wolves, while no one thought about protecting the species.

Guardian and Century were both born to the Fox Mountain Pack, one of 19 packs roaming southwestern New Mexico and southeastern Arizona.

Earlier this year, Guardian was spotted with the Luna Pack female and was soon considered her mate and the new alpha male of that pack.

The Fox Mountain Pack has a history of livestock depredations, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, which manages the species’ recovery.

The agency’s field reports from this spring suggest that behavior moved to the Luna Pack with Guardian, fueling the agency’s decision to trap him to prevent him from teaching those habits to the Luna Pack female. His removal left the female and her unknown number of pups without a partner in raising them; they depend on food the Fish and Wildlife Service now supplies her.

among other things, project-approved removals of wolves for depredating livestock or leaving the recovery area boundary, as well as “lawful and unlawful wolf mortalities,” according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Poaching continues to be an issue for Mexican wolves, with the federal government offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to a conviction for shooting one—a bounty nongovernmental organizations have boosted with an additional pledge of $46,000.

To balance the cattle industry’s interests in the area, which date back centuries, the federal government compensates livestock producers by paying the current auction price for livestock and even paying for working dogs killed by wolves.

The Coexistence Council’s strategic plan shifted the approach to compensation so that it factors in some of the additional costs to ranchers, like undetected depredations when the cause of death can’t be determined or livestock has simply gone missing, as well as lost livestock weight and decreased reproductive rates that result from sharing their grazing acres with wolves. These “payments for presence” are calculated on a point system that accounts for whether the land or grazing lease is in wolf territory or a core area such as a den or rendezvous site, wolf pups born in the area that year have survived to Dec. 31, and the applicant has been using proactive measures to avoid conflict, as well as the number of livestock exposed.

Above: Albuquerque’s BioPark has a pair of captive Mexican gray wolves that the US Fish and Wildlife Service hopes to see adding puppies to the wild population that is sorely lackign in genetic diversity.

Left: Signs in the Gila Wilderness warn of wolf trapping activity by federal officials.

About half of the council’s $600,000 budget goes to payments for presence, and half to support ranchers in deploying new technology to prevent depredations. Those funds can pay for range riders, a human presence that deters wolves, and for turbo fladry, temporary electric fencing with flagging. They can also fund efforts to time calving and use alternative pastures to shift cows and calves away from territory where wolves hunt, and even for supplemental hay. If a cow dies in the wild, that carcass can be laced with chemicals to make a wolf sick, and like any experience with food poisoning, that wolf will then avoid that food source.

“There’s so many tools in the tool box for conservationists to reduce conflicts between humans and wildlife that there’s no excuse not to coexist at this point,” Mossotti says.

Once depredations begin occurring, the end result for the wolf is often death or capture and a life in a pen.

“When it speaks to private property and private land, I get that. … I’ve been a longstanding supporter of relatively permissive management of wolves on private land. ... You should be able to protect your private property,” says Mike Phillips, director of the Turner Endangered Species Fund, which uses Ladder Ranch in southern New Mexico near the Gila to assist the Fish and Wildlife Service in management activities. The New Mexico Game Commission initially denied Ladder Ranch a permit renewal for holding captive Mexican wolves, but it has since allowed the facility to resume those activities, convening an emergency meeting to speed an approval to house a wolf family from Washington state while they waited for the female to whelp before releasing parents and

pups into Mexico.

“Similarly, you could argue for a less permissive approach on public land,” Phillips says. “It is public grass, and you don’t have to graze your livestock there. ... We should view public resources on public land differently than we view public resources on private land and at the end of the day a wolf or wolf population is a public resource.”

Phillips has worked on every wolf recovery program in the country—Mexican gray wolves as well as gray wolves in Yellowstone and red wolves in North Carolina—and says the Mexican wolf program is one of the most challenging. He left work with the federal government to see what private lands can achieve in the way of protecting imperiled species.

“It’s just simply a truism that most wolves don’t depredate on livestock. The depredations on livestock are consistently misrepresented and consistently overblown,” Phillips says. “Wolf recovery has never been the burden on the livestock industry that it’s made out to be.”

That said, he adds, some individual producers may run on so narrow a profit margin that the loss of one or two cattle can make a big difference. Again, those losses are often covered by payments from the federal government.

“I don’t think it’s either wolves or livestock. That’s a ridiculous choice. And it’s not wolves and elk, that’s another ridiculous choice,” says Phillips. “There are problems, there are conflicts, and you need good people on the ground to work through the conflicts. … Here’s the truth: Wolves do not represent a danger to human safety. They just don’t. Wolves typically do not depredate on livestock. ... Wolves do not decimate game herds.”

He runs the numbers—wolves need an average of seven to 10 pounds of sustenance a day, or about the equivalent of one adult cow elk per month. So one wolf will eat about 15 adult cow elk every year. And again, there are an estimated 21,000 elk in the Gila area. If more than 600 wolves lived in that area, they CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

wouldn’t consume half of the elk there.

“Gray wolves are an agenda problem,” Phillips says. “They are not as hard to coexist with as people would have you think. … These myths that drive us as a collective, they really matter, but sometimes they’re not right.”

Yet those myths continue to guide management decisions, including the latest released from US district court, which sided with the state in their efforts to obtain a temporary restraining order to prevent the Fish and Wildlife Service from releasing additional wolves. Judge William P Johnson ruled on June 10 that the Endangered Species Act does not require the service to release Mexican wolves into the wild, that it was simply the service’s choice to do so. As a result, the state’s ability to “monitor, manage and otherwise regulate” New Mexico’s wildlife suffered. Conservation advocates were stunned.

Though federal code permits the US secretary of the interior to pursue management activities to preserve the future of the species, that permission doesn’t “constitute a statutory responsibility,” Johnson wrote, and the federal government still needs to obtain permits from the state. Federal rules advise securing a permit from states, but in the event that can’t be secured, they allow the secretary to move forward, and that’s the basis by which the Fish and Wildlife Service has pursued

releases despite protests from the state. That the federal agency has not updated the more-than-30-year-old plan for Mexican wolves and continues to operate that program as a “nonessential experimental population” also came back to bite, as the state was able to argue that a “nonessential experimental population,” by definition, can’t be necessary to the future of the species. Work has been underway on a formal Mexican wolf recovery plan since 1995, and the service only recently settled with conservation groups to commit to a timeline that dictates a November 2017 completion date.

“The service needs to put its foot down ... when the states are so willing to bully the service to get what they want,” says Eva Sargent, senior Southwest representative for Defenders of Wildlife. They need to stand by the science, Sargent argues. And science says that the species will suffer if its genetic diversity is not increased by adding more wolves to the wild population.

Mexican wolves went through a very small bottleneck. The entire population we have now—more than 250 in captivity and about 100 in the wild— is descended from just seven wild wolves captured in northern Mexico and that may well have been related.

So the pool was never very deep, and it grows shallower with each generation.

By comparison, the red wolf recovery program started its captive breed-

Grazing allotments in the Gila National Forest area allow for tens of thousands of cattle to pass through the forest each year in the same territory where wolves are expected not to hunt them.

ing program from 400 canids. The Yellowstone wolf program, now considered so successful the gray wolf has been removed from the endangered species list in several northwestern states and wolf hunts have resumed, began with 14 wolves captured from a wild population across Canada, adding to that with two more releases of 17 and 10, respectively. On a landscape that was rich with prey and secured from human causes of mortality—shooting—and that doesn’t see year-round livestock grazing like the Gila does, Phillips speculates, Yellowstone’s program might have succeeded with just the release of those initial 14 wolves. The Blue Range, where dozens of Mexican wolves have been released, just isn’t as problem-free a habitat for recovering an endangered wolf.

In Yellowstone, research has documented a ripple effect of benefits to the ecosystem since wolves were reintroduced in the mid-’90s, affecting species from fish to birds to beavers to aspen trees. Healthier riparian areas appear where elk and deer are nudged on from over-grazing by the press of hunting predators, and the overall health of the forest increases in ways that startled ecologists.

A study conducted to see if Mexican wolves had a similar ability to restore the landscapes around them landed in uncertainty; there simply weren’t enough wolves to know. But the stands of dead aspens and absence of aspen seedlings suggests an ecosystem in need of resuscitation. The Gila is one of the wildest places in the American West, a rarity for having been preserved to maintain its pristine character and known for its roadless areas, beloved by and adjacent to the wilderness area named for Aldo Leopold, legendary conservationist who once wrote, “There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot.” Yet not even the Gila can escape being reshaped by men and their livestock.

The goal, according to the USFWS’ “experimental population rule” for Mexican wolves, is a wild population of 300 to 325 Mexican wolves between I-40 and the Mexico border—and that’s a firm cap. More than that, and the agency could move wolves back into captivity or across the border into Mexico, which is

also trying to recover the species.

A panel of scientists convened years ago proposed three populations for a total of about 750 wolves living as far north as Utah and Colorado. Resistance from the states involved was so vehement that the service has instead looked farther and farther south, across the Mexican border.

But successful recovery programs in the US have depended on massive tracts of public lands, and the majority of Mexican land is privately owned. Additionally, while US states maintain careful counts of elk and deer, there’s no similar data for potential prey in

Mexico. Empirical evidence that Mexico won’t work would take years to establish, and the Mexican wolf population just doesn’t have that kind of time.

“The clock is not the Mexican wolf’s friend. When you have passed through such a profound genetic bottleneck, every generation that passes, you lose genetic diversity,” Phillips says. “There is no way, given these small numbers, that you ever gain any new diversity.

All you can ever hope to do is slow the rate of loss. ...

The rate of loss is notable, and we know, from countless studies, that eventually a genetically depauperate genome creates all kinds of problems for survival.”

What happens if management doesn’t move forward in a way that increases genetic diversity? For that visual, we have the now nearly nonexistent population of wolves on Isle Royale, Michigan. Climate

change and shipping routes wiped out the ice bridge that once linked the island in Lake Superior to the mainland, stranding a population that once saw as many as 50 wolves. Just two wolves now remain—and they’re half-siblings as well as father and daughter.

Their hopes of procreating are doomed. The island’s moose population, in the meantime, has been booming, another ecosystem swinging out of balance.

This year’s cross-fostering efforts saw unprecedented numbers, with six pups total added to three packs across Arizona and New Mexico—a very successful year, says Mossotti. The payoff for those successes is still years out, Robinson cautions, given that pups born this year won’t reproduce for at least two years, meaning an additional delay in diversifying the genes in a population now largely as genetically similar as siblings. But releasing parents and older siblings with those pups was considered too politically volatile in a year when the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish had refused to sign off on permits.

A Humane Society of the United States survey of state game commissions—to which 18 states responded—found that 73 percent of commissions are dominated by avid hunters, clearly unrepresentative of the state’s public they speak for, but in line with their funding source. In New Mexico, hunters, trappers and anglers who pay for fishing and hunting licenses—to the tune of some $20 million each year—support the state’s Department of Game and Fish.

“Wolves do not purchase hunting licenses, and most state wildlife managers draw their pay from revenue derived from sale of hunting, fishing, and trapping licenses. That, in brief, is what is wrong with wildlife management in America,” Ted Williams wrote in 1986, years before formal wolf reintroduction programs were underway.

Would ranchers ever stop objecting to sharing the landscape with wolves? Sure, Phillips says, for a price.

He points to two universal solvents: water and money.

“Water can dissolve about anything, and money can dissolve any problem, if you have enough,” he says. “The problem is, you typically don’t have sufficient funds to simply buy your way out of a bind.”

Smith is in a league of her own when it comes to her golden voice, an instrument she crafted during years of gospel singing in her youth. For some, she may be most familiar as a member of the acoustic-driven trio, hONEyhoUSe; for others, it’s her solo work they love the most.

Smart Metal

Oakland’s Alaric brings brains to the brutality

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

D

id you know there are more metal bands in the Bay Area than pretty much anywhere else on earth, not counting Scandinavia?

Between Oakland, San Francisco, Berkeley, etc., there are literally countless acts that embody and improve upon myriad metal sub-genres to unleash their specific takes on the heaviest of musical styles, and by culling inspiration from decades of metal madness, they catapult the genre into some interesting places. Ghoul, for example, brings a tongue-in-cheek silliness to their thrashy punk sound, whereas Saviours is perhaps a bit more technical and serious (though they fucking shred nonetheless). Neither are screwing around, however, and there is pure musicianship of the highest order to be found almost anyplace one looks.

I could easily sit here rattling off Bay Area metal trivia, too, but I’ve actually come on a mission to educate Santa Feans about a particularly excellent band from Oakland called Alaric, who will be playing at Meow Wolf on Sunday, June 19. Alaric stands out from a pack of admittedly tremendous bands in a twopronged fashion: Yes, they completely slay with blast beats, brutal vocals and down-tuned guitars and bass that practically rattle your bones, but it’s in the more subtle throwback elements of Alaric’s style that their main selling point lies.

“The Bay Area metal scene came out of the punk scene, like, the punk and crust and indie music scenes, and it turned into this weird, artistic kind of metal scene,” Alaric frontman/lyricist Shane Baker tells SFR. “Growing up, you’d see bands like Neurosis and Green Day on the same show, and often, and the band definitely came up in that scene. Going to [punk venue] Gilman Street, we definitely came up in that scene together, and metal has, I think, become the most interesting scene in the Bay.” More to the point, Baker actually sings from time to time, and while no one is besmirching the heavy awesomeness of a screaming vocalist, it’s paramount to one of Alaric’s cooler aspects. By allowing inspiration from

Alaric is always hangin’ around crypts because they’re way metal.

bands who might be more accurately described as goth or death rock, like Bauhaus or Sisters of Mercy, Alaric merges black metal evil with darkly poppy rock.

“I’ve got nothing against a good bludgeoning,” Baker jokes, “but there’s definitely a more contemplative aspect to our style, and sometimes that’s just how it comes out, but even though I think some of the tones that we use maybe sound that way, music like that is really more of a jumping-off point, and we’re not really as ’80s or, I think, English as that maybe sounds.”

Indeed. They’ve tapped into this more underground, perhaps more cerebral, style that may have had its heyday in the ’80s but never actually left the goth nights and metal shows that exist outside the mainstream.

They’ve just kept the evolution going and added their own signature to the mix. This means Alaric is eclectic, to say the least, and sometimes challenging. Think of them as a sort of mini-lesson on the gothy punk and post-punk offshoots that paved the way for many of today’s most beloved and/or successful metal acts.

According to Baker, the metal scene, specifically the Bay Area’s many bands, owes its very existence to these non-metal bands; Alaric is like the heavy, gloomy cousin of shoegaze, but they replace what can almost be too heartfelt with emotionally resonant introspection and self-examination. It just goes to show that

even metal can be a dissection of one’s own baggage, or a means of catharsis for its songwriters—yes, there will always be the ripping up of corpses, but that doesn’t mean the genre can’t get deep. The band even caught the eye (ear?) of Neurosis, who, by the way, is a metal band that everyone must know before they can truly call themselves a metalhead. OK, OK—so maybe that’s a little intense as a statement, and you’re surely allowed to like what you like (even if you’re doing it wrong), but Alaric’s most recent release, End of Mirrors, just dropped last month courtesy of Neurot Recordings, the brainchild of Neurosis and Tribes of Neurot members.

That’s a big deal without question, but also a testament to Neurot’s focus on smart and stylish songwriting.

“It’s a big honor,” Baker says of his label. “And we’re all super into it.”

Should you want to be super into it, check out this show. Local thrash-punk quartet Econarchy (which features members of Logical Nonsense) opens, so it should probably be the best night of our lives.

COURTESY BEALS & CO.

Brick-andMortar Bobby Beals and A Nigh Herndon rethink the structure of Canyon Road

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

A

rtist A Nigh Herndon is acutely aware that his work clashes with the rest of Canyon Road. Over the course of his career, Herndon’s palette has dwindled to mostly shades of gray, and his new body of work incorporates industrial materials like window screens and acoustic panels. For his upcoming solo show, Designs x Devices, opening at the new Beals & Co. Showroom (830 Canyon Road, 357-0441) this Saturday, he’s building his own synthesizer to present some of his latest sound art.

“I have absolutely no idea how people are going to react to this show,” says Herndon, who is originally from Tulsa and moved here from Guadalajara, Mexico, in May. Fortunately, the artist has one of Santa Fe’s most innovative art dealers on his side. Herndon’s experimental cacophony may clash with the turquoise jewelry on Canyon Road, but it’s just another workday for Bobby Beals.

Beals is a fifth-generation Santa Fean and lived in Los Angeles for a number of years before returning home and working his way up in the art community. Beals & Abbate Fine Art, his joint venture with Anthony Abbate, closed in 2013. In the final days of that space, Beals began experimenting with guerrilla marketing techniques. He heavily promoted his artists through social media and collaborated with local DJs and chefs to turn art openings into wild parties.

After leaving the traditional gallery model behind, Beals pushed the envelope even further. “I came up with this idea to do mobile pop-up shows around town,” he says. Several prominent hotels got involved, filling their walls with local, contemporary art devoid of cowboys and sunsets. “It was pure hustle,” Beals

“My work does not attempt to produce a beautiful or hermetic object,” A Nigh Herndon says of his upcoming exhibit at the Beals & Co. Showroom. Below: The artist himself, lookin’ all artsy.

says. “Even just moving the art itself into and out of spaces is quite a feat.”

Now Beals is back on Canyon Road, in a brick-andmortar gallery. His move might seem like a step backward, but the Beals & Co. Showroom is no ordinary gallery. Beals offers his stable of 75 artists complete curatorial control within the space. One at a time, they’ll mount solo exhibitions that serve as definitive artistic statements. At the close of each show, Beals will continue to showcase the work online and in his pop-ups at the Drury Hotel, Four Seasons Re-

I want artists to be proud to show on Canyon Road—and not just artists who are making landscapes. sort Rancho Encantado and other businesses around town. Through an umbrella business called Santa Fe Exports, he’ll launch their work into other markets around the world.

“I want artists to be proud to show on Canyon Road—and not just artists who are making landscapes,” says Beals. “I feel like this road hasn’t changed much since I left. It needs a little spicing up.” Herndon is the third local artist to exhibit in the Beals & Co. Showroom since it opened on May 1, following shows by Allison Kunath and David Santiago.

Beals discovered Herndon’s work through Instagram, sparking a three-year friendship that eventually motivated Herndon to take up residence here. His new body of work for Designs x Devices weaves together media and ideas that he has explored throughout his career.

“For the first time ever, I’m including a sound art installation with visual art,” says Herndon. “I actu-

ally feel like the two compliment each other, which is new.” He’s been making sound art since his childhood in the 1980s, when he and his brother secretly recorded and remixed his family’s Thanksgiving dinner one year. As a young adult, he helped build Tulsa’s underground punk rock and skating scene, and made street art on train cars. Herndon moved to Guadalajara last year to make an album with a Mexican record label, and he continued to create and exhibit visual art.

Minimalism and post-minimalism are major influences in his work, though he spent a few years making portraits as well. “In your late 20s and early 30s, it’s easy to not do what you want,” says Herndon. “If you’re working outside the representational world, it’s really easy to dip back in because you think you’ll sell more pieces.”

In Designs x Devices, Herndon uses familiar building materials to conjure memories and feelings of the “home.” He examines how the mundane substances that make up our dwellings physically and emotionally cradle us. In a series of mixed media diptychs, enamel, fiberglass and aluminum engage with digital pigment prints of shadowy faces and graphite abstractions. The works hint at murky memories of long-lost environments. Freckled acoustic tiles ( just like the ones on the ceiling of your high school) interact with the sound art in the room by absorbing its echoes.

“People now tell me I’m afraid of color, but that’s not it at all,” says Herndon. “To actually quiet yourself is a difficult thing. If you want to relate it to sound art, it’s about breaking it down to the actual emotional levels of micro sound, just these little snippets. Get a snippet of an idea in your mind, and actually let that fully transform into a piece.”

Whether you’re creating an artwork or an art space, that’s sound advice.

THE CALENDAR find equal companionship with both? Should I wait until I find the right person and decide from there?

-Confused About Sexuality, Help

I’ve been dating a nice guy for a month or so.

Sex is good, and we’re faulty compatible in other ways, too. He told me he likes to wear diapers. He said he doesn’t want me to do it with him, but that every once in a while he likes to wear them because it makes him feel “safe.” He said that this odd behavior isn’t sexual for him, but I have trouble believing him. I’m not sure how I feel about this. He also said that it embarrasses him and he wishes it wasn’t something he needed. If you have any insight into what to ask him or how to make sure I can keep him satisfied sexually as we move forward (if we do), it would be appreciated.

-Do I Ask Pooper Everything Respectfully, Sir? You shouldn’t assume (contra your sign-off) that Potential New Boyfriend (PNB) is pooping his diapers. Most guys who are ABDL (adult baby/diaper lover) are interested only in wetting themselves, if that. (Some only wear, never fill.) It sounds like PNB is struggling with kinkand/or sex-shame, DIAPERS, and the assumption you’ve made about the extent of his diaper play might put him on the defensive. Even if your assumption is accurate, it could still put him on the defensive.

Moving on…

You have a hard time believing PNB when he says there’s nothing sexual about his interest in diapers, and that makes two of us. Seeing as he’s already succumbed to shame where his kink is concerned—or it might be more accurate to say he hasn’t dug himself out from under the shame almost all kinksters struggle with initially—he is very likely weighed down by the sex-negativity that comes bundled with kinkshame. So he may have told you there’s nothing sexual about his thing for diapers because he thinks it makes his diapers seem less sordid.

That said, DIAPERS, “this makes me feel safe” and “this makes my dick hard” aren’t mutually exclusive phenomena. Both can be true. (And if diapers really do make adults feel safe—and I wanna see data on that—we could rebrand them as “portable individual safe spaces” and make them available at our better universities.)

Another clue there’s something sexual about this thing for diapers: not wanting you around while he wears them. Maybe diapers are something he enjoys wearing during alone time, or maybe the sight of him in diapers makes the sexual aspect hard to deny. (“Is that an enormous rattle in your diaper or are you just happy to see me?”)

I would advise you to say some vaguely affirming things (“Your diaper thing doesn’t bother me, and wouldn’t even if it were sexual”) without pressuring him to include you at diaper time. Don’t rush things—relationship-wise or diaper-wise—and focus on establishing a mutually satisfying sexual rapport/repertoire.

P.S. I think you meant “fairly compatible” not “faulty compatible.” Normally I would correct a mistake like this before printing a letter—but I rather liked your accidental phrase. A loving and functional-but-imperfect relationship—really the best we can hope for—could be described as faulty compatible.

I’m an incredibly confused man in my early 20s. I’m attracted to men and women. I could see spending my life with either. But I think sexual activity with either sex would be confusing and strange. In sex ed, I always thought the whole idea of sexual intercourse was strange. I don’t think I’m asexual, but I’m not sure if I am bisexual. I am more attracted to vibrant personalities. I don’t think that I am just straight or just gay, because I have equal feelings for both sexes. Does this mean I could

According to the Tumblr Blog Decoder Ring that came in my last box of Kellogg’s Feelios, CASH, you’re bi-classic (attracted to men and women), bi-romantic (could be with a man or a woman), a sort of demisexual/sapiosexual hybrid (demis are attracted to people they’ve bonded with emotionally, sapios are attracted to people who are intelligent, and vibrancy may fall at some point between the two), and maybe falling somewhere on the asexuality spectrum.

The best way to discover who/what works for you is to get out there. If you find yourself feeling confused, just remind yourself that confusion—like so much else—is a spectrum. And wherever you fall on it, CASH, know you’ve got plenty of company.

A local park in Seattle often hosts gay men engaging in sexual activities. As a straight female, I love watching man-on-man sex and really wanted to check out this park. I stopped by at night and noticed “cruising” going on but no sexual activity. I decided to try on a busy Saturday night, and sure enough, I saw a man giving a BJ to another man. I scared the men—they stopped their activities and left the park when they saw me watching—and I felt bad. I feel like I should have said something like “Don’t let me stop you!” and then perhaps been able to watch. What are my options here?

-Peculiar And Rare Kink Two options: Dress up like a dude and pass yourself off as one of the guys/park-pervs— guys into man-on-man public sex usually aren’t adverse to being observed by other male parkpervs—or stay home and watch gay porn on the internet until you’ve homicided love. (Porn kills love—so says the Mormon Church, so you know it’s true.)

As for the two guys who knocked it off when they spotted you: They either thought you were a cop (it’s illegal to be in Seattle parks after closing, and it’s extra illegal to have sex in a public park after hours) or thought you might be shocked or annoyed. Most park-pervs go out of their way to be discreet, for their own safety (avoiding gay bashers or arrest) and out of consideration for late-night dog walkers, restless insomniacs, stargazers, et al.

One last reason they may have pulled up their pants: They weren’t interested in performing for you. Gay and bi men who have sex in parks—many of them straight-identified men— aren’t there to perform for pervy straight ladies.

But I’m not going to scold you (even at the risk of being scolded myself), PARK, because parkpervs risk being observed by other members of the public—and women are members of the public, too, and just as entitled to get their perv on in a public park as they are.

But if you don’t want the guys to pull up their pants and flee at the sight of you, PARK, pull together an outfit that gives you a dude-ish silhouette.

SPEAKING OF ABDL: Residents of Mount Prospect, Illinois, are upset about a new shop that caters to diaper lovers in their community.

Tykables sells grown-up-size diapers, rocking chairs, and cribs. The Chicago Tribune reports that some residents are uncomfortable because the shop—which has no signage and soon-to-be-frosted windows—is near schools, parks, and other places where “children gather.”

Mount Prospect is a suburb, so there are schools or parks near just about everything. And there’s a gun shop a couple blocks away from a large public park and an elementary school—and no one ever walked into a school and started diapering students to death. Maybe worry about the real threat to your kids, Mount Prospect?

Veteran filmmaker Jon Moritsugu is the visionary behind such underground cult hits as Mod Fuck Explosion and Pig Death Machine. He’s even Grammy-nominated for the “No Future Shock” music video he directed for TV on the Radio. He’s actually a genius, and Santa Fe is lucky to have him. And as if his mere presence weren’t enough, Moritsugu teaches a two-day guerilla filmmaking class at Santa Fe Community College (6401 Richards Ave., 428-1676) on June 18 and 25. Let’s ask him about that, shall we? (ADV) What’s the basic overview of the class?

It’s basically sharing every single mistake I’ve ever made, which will definitely save people some time and save them some money. It’s about DIY empowerment; it’s about punk-rock; it’s about bringing an idea to life.

I’ve done this class before, and the idea is that either you’ve started your movie or you’ve finished it by the time we’re done. Most people have the equipment they need and don’t even realize it. For example, I had this one guy who couldn’t afford a camera, but it turned out he had, like, four broken iPhones with working cameras, and he made an entire movie with them.

JOIN OUR “FIRESIDE CHAT” at the LA FONDA HOTEL June 24, 2016 The Grandchildren of FDR’s Administration talk about securing our New Deal Legacy his unique seminar will feature a panel of adult grandchildren of Franklin Roosevelt and four of his Cabinet Secretaries.

This gathering is part of NNDPA’s participation in the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the National Parks.

What do you think is the biggest obstacle for budding filmmakers?

The balls. And the brains. 99 percent of people don’t believe they have the shit to make a movie, and there is so much misinformation out there. That can make you feel totally helpless, but everyone has this unique and twisted voice. Promotion is hard, too; you don’t learn self-promotion in film school or in art school, but you can be your own publicist. It’s good to learn that even bad press can be good press.

Do you have one big piece of advice for people who want to break into filmmaking?

I’d probably say to just go for it. It all comes down to an idea. The class will cover all that nitty-gritty stuff like how to copyright your ideas and your movies. As much as making movies this way can be punk-rock and DIY, you’ve got to protect your stuff. I’ll also get into things like how to self-distribute and how you make money off of a movie. To even be in show biz, you’ve got to be demented, but just about everyone I’ve met in teaching this class before has had a lot of heart and soul. I guess that’s more than just one thing, though.

FOOD This month, the Jambo Café Cookbook: Recipes and Remembrances of My Journey from Africa to America is finally done.

It’s available for $25 at the restaurant (2010 Cerrillos Road, 473-1269), and it will be available online this summer at jambocafe.net.

Here’s the recipe for a dish that’s on the menu at the restaurant and delivers a dose of coastal Kenyan flavor.

ISLAND SPICY PEANUT COCONUT CHICKEN Serves 4-6 INGREDIENTS: -

3 pounds chicken thighs and breasts, trimmed and cut into 1½- inch cubes

-

½ large yellow onion, diced small

-

1 tablespoon minced garlic

-

½ cup blended olive oil

-

1½ teaspoons cayenne pepper

-

1 tablespoon ground coriander

-

1 tablespoon ground cumin

-

1½ teaspoons ground allspice

-

1 teaspoon dried thyme

Jambo, Santa Fe!

-

1 tablespoon sweet paprika

-

2 tablespoons fresh ginger, diced fine

-

2 tablespoons tomato paste

Chef Ahmed Obo’s new cookbook is an edible postcard from Kenya and beyond

-

1 cup Roma tomatoes, diced fine

-

2 cups peanut butter

-

1 tablespoon kosher salt

-

1 can coconut milk (13.5 ounces)

-

1 cup chicken or vegetable stock

-

olive oil for cooking

We recommend using Jiff for the best consistency. Also, how good does this look? Below: Ahmed Obo’s new cookbook.

BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

W

hen I went to the island of Lamu as a student, ages ago, it required taking a lurching night train from Nairobi to Mombasa, followed by an hours-long bus ride of stifling heat and flapping chickens, and finally a diesel-chugging ferry across a narrow channel. But we probably needed that 24-hour journey to adapt to the culture shock. That coastal area of Kenya is the heart of Swahili culture, a Muslim community with a blended history of Africans who traded and lived—and ate—with Arabs, Portuguese and Indians.

For me, Lamu was love at first bite.

In most of the country, traditional Kenyan food is very simple: a plain, firm, white corn polenta called ugali; a mix of corn and beans called githeri; collard-like greens braised with onion and tomato, called sukuma wiki or “stretch-the-week”; maybe a little roasted goat or beef. It’s not exactly the kind of thing you come home raving about. But the coast is different.

“If you ate in Nairobi, you might say, ‘There’s no flavor in this!’ but

once you get to the coast, you can tell the difference,” says Ahmed Obo, the chef and owner of Santa Fe’s Jambo Café, who has just published his first cookbook.

Obo grew up in Lamu, where he helped support his 10 siblings by taking tourists out fishing and swimming on his boat.

I remember watching those wooden boats bobbing next to the seaside hut where I ate the most amazing fish. It was so incredibly simple, just rubbed with some spices and grilled, but it was the best thing I’d eaten in months.

African spices are featured in the food at Jambo Café, which also has Caribbean flavors and an American twist. “It’s the blend of flavors, the layers of spices” that make the food from Lamu so special, Obo says.

In his early 20s, Obo fell in love with an American woman visiting Lamu and eventually married her and moved to the United States. He fell into cooking by helping a friend he was visiting here in Santa Fe. It stuck.

He started writing the book, a collection of recipes and memories, more than 10 years ago, at the encouragement of his former wife’s parents, who helped carry the book forward over the years.

DIRECTIONS 1. Heat a large skillet on medium heat to heat the olive oil until shimmering. Sauté the onion and garlic 3-5 minutes until soft. Stir in the spices, from the cayenne to the paprika. Add the ginger and mix well. If the spice mixture seems extra dry, add a bit more oil.

2. Cook for 3-5 minutes until spices begin to stick to the pot. Add the tomato paste and stir until softened, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat if needed. Stir in the tomato and peanut butter, mixing thoroughly, and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally.

3. Pour in the coconut milk and chicken or vegetable stock, and stir well. Turn up heat to medium-high and boil for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat, add the salt, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. While the sauce is simmering, season the chicken with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil until shimmering. In batches, cook the chicken until the flesh is firm. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Transfer the chicken into the coconut peanut sauce, mixing well.

5. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 to 8 hours for the flavors to marry. Reheat over a low-medium heat and serve hot with basmati rice.

Ta-Da!

Oh, oh, oh, it’s magic—and little else by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

The original Now You See Me was not the kind of movie you saw because you thought it would actually be good. Sure, the cast featured no shortage of huge names such as Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and more, but the heist-with-magic caper was better classified as an escapist means of spending a couple hours and little more. Of course, there was a big-twist ending, wherein we learned that FBI agent Dylan

Rhodes (Ruffalo) was actually not who he said he was, and a tantalizing story thread was left loose, leaving room for a sequel, but it wasn’t like anyone anywhere was actually waiting impatiently for such a film. And yet here it is.

In Now You See Me 2, much of the original cast is reunited (save Isla Fisher, who is replaced here by the always enjoyable Lizzy Caplan of Mean Girls) to once again use magic as a means of exacting social justice on millionaires and tech moguls who have no respect for anything more than their bottom line. Our heroes are The Horsemen,

is set into motion, and The Horsemen wind up in Macao, China, where Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter himself ) has a special job for them: steal some computer chip thing he invented which can access any computing device in the world, for whatever nefarious purposes its owner wishes. To do this, they’ll obviously need magic, so that’s what they do.

It isn’t that the performances from the obviously stellar cast are bad per se, rather that so many little twists and turns are packed into Now You See Me 2 that no one is allowed any room to do much outside of exist. Motivations are plain and simple, characters are fairly one-note and the looming understanding that nothing is as it seems basically relieves any feeling of peril from the get-go. Radcliffe does his best to play villainous, but we are ultimately left to wonder if he’s sick of doing movies that are about magic while he stumbles to keep up with veterans like Caine, and Harrelson’s turn as his own twin—who is also a magician—is just plain stupid.

Still, the movie wants us to root for The Horsemen, so we do, and by the time we hit the prestige, we had a fairly enjoyable ride and saw a couple neat magic tricks along the way.

NOW YOU SEE ME 2 Directed by Jon M Chu With Ruffalo, Eisenberg, Caine and Freeman Violet Crown, Regal PG-13, 129 min.

SCREENER

yay!

barf

a four-magician squad, led from the shadows by Ruffalo, whose team is way good at big-spectacle tricks and stealing things to expose jerks.

In their previous outing, The Horsemen got the best of insurance magnate Arthur Tressler (Caine) and screwed over magic debunker Thaddeus Bradley (Freeman), thereby leaving him imprisoned in some weirdly minimumsecurity lockup which somehow allows him a computer with internet access so he can make YouTube videos about how he’s mad at them.

Our heroes have been in hiding, waiting for orders from The Eye, some kind of clandestine society of magicians that operates in secrecy and from whom Ruffalo siphons out magic-related missions. It’s fairly absurd, but God help us, it sure is fun. Each of the magicians has their own special ability. Jack Wilder (Dave Franco of the ill-fated and just awful wind-down of Scrubs), for example, is awesome at card tricks while Merritt McKinney (Harrelson) can hypnotize just about anyone. Danny Atlas (Eisenberg) is more of an all-around trickster and is sort of the first mate of the crew, and newcomer Lula (Caplan) … actually, she mostly just acts boy-crazy and says minimally feminist things like, “Did you ask the guys if they could ride a motorcycle, or was it just me?”

The point, however, is that they come out of hiding to stick it to some Zuckerberg-ish guy, but it turns out to be a trap. A chain of confusing events

DARK HORSE: THE INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY OF DREAM ALLIANCE “This is more than the story of a race”

SUNSET SONG A Scottish period drama with a strong female lead and support from the real BBC isn’t a bad start for an indie film, and though the drama of life for farmers on the cusp of WWI and the passion of an intellectual and lovely young woman seems a great concept for Sunset Song, it winds up being awful.

Based on the 1932 book of the same name by Scottish author Lewis Grassic Gibbon, the film has the makings of an epic, yet it’s a fair bet that his plot and character development is a lot richer than in this bigscreen adaptation. Running more than two hours, director Terence Davies (The Deep Blue Sea) had plenty of time to make us fall for the lovable pretense of Chris Guthrie (Agyness Deyn), the farmer’s daughter.

Instead, the film comes across as a series of time-separated vignettes. A friend in the first scene who happily runs down a forest path with her arms around Chris never appears again. In fact, the main character barely speaks with another woman who is not her mother or her housekeeper for the duration of the story.

Hard-to-watch family interactions that mark the first half of the movie evolve into schmaltzy long kisses and big dreams between Chris and Ewan, an even more shal-

low character played by Kevin Guthrie (the actor’s actual name, not the character).

And the strong potential with a supporting role by Ian Pirie (Gangs of New York) is also wasted on a substitute father figure who could have been the key to the narrative but instead becomes another actor delivering long monologues and poorly explained tearful hugs. The dialogue is forced or absent, never natural, and the whole thing is peppered with voiceovers from Deyn that should be poignant and memorable, but sound more like greeting cards or gravestone epitaphs. Viewers don’t get an idea of Scotland’s role in the war or a better appreciation of the heroine’s growing connection to the land. The scenery is sweet, but that’s about it. (Julie Ann Grimm) CCA, R, 135 min.

ME BEFORE YOU Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) and her eyebrows join super-hunk Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games series) in Me Before You, an emotionally manipulative pile of dreck that tries so very hard to make us feel anything, but generally winds up feeling more like the longest hour and 50 minutes of your entire life. Clarke plays Louisa, a cute-as-a-button 20-something who just can’t seem to keep a job despite how many weirdly overexpressive eyebrow maneuvers she utilizes

or spunky/bizarre outfits she wears. This is a huge drag, because she’s kind of trapped in a shitty life; her family is way poor, and she’s supposed to help out, so when a temp job as a caretaker for a paraplegic comes her way, she’s super desperate and takes it immediately. The wheelchair-bound Will Traynor (Claflin) somehow comes from royalty—though they never mention the specifics outside of his family owns a castle in their sleepy British town—and is a complete jerk.

The more time they spend together, the more they fall in love, a ridiculous turn of events that surprises absolutely no one save Lou’s boyfriend (a totally enjoyable Matthew Lewis of Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter fame), who we’re supposed to not like, and just when Lou is becoming comfortable enough with her job to sit on Will’s lap and creep everyone out by blurring the lines of professionalism, we learn that Will wants to Kevorkian himself, and Me Before You transforms from quirky, albeit ludicrous, rom-com to heavy-handed sadfest. Tears are shed, brows are furrowed, an absurd number of emotionally scored montages occur and the audience is left to roll their eyes and check their watches.

Lou must grapple between the excitement of a budding romance and doing

barf Sunset Song? More like Sunset WRONG! what’s right, although the moral and societal implications of assisted suicide take a backseat to hormonal angst, and the overall lesson—you’ve got to live, dammit!—is nothing even slightly new. Avoid this movie at all costs—you’ve been warned. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 110 min.

WEINER Throughout Weiner, the eponymous documentary that chronicles a disgraced politician’s ill-fated run for redemption, Anthony Weiner repeatedly refers to “the thing” that ended his career. The thing, of course, was a sexting scandal. His planned comeback: a bid for New York City mayor.

Filmmakers Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg secured incredible access to the candidate, his team, and most critically, Huma Abedin, the wife who also happens to be a close-confidant of Hillary Clinton.

At first, the documentary seems like a runof-the-mill campaign story. Weiner gallivants during a gay-pride parade, waving a rainbow flag. Abedin introduces her husband at a fundraiser.

But then a bombshell drops, and the documentarians’ gamble pays off big time. News breaks that Weiner couldn’t quit his habit of sending x-rated photos to women who are not his wife, this even after he appeared on the cover of People Magazine with the headline “I Feel Like a Different Person.”

Kriegman and Steinberg capture the immediate fallout of the scandal’s second act like they have a backstage pass to a political campaign in panic mode. “Are we going to go fucking nuclear, like this is not true?” asks Amit Bagga, a policy director.

In another room, Weiner and Abedin are on speakerphone, trying to do damage control.

Weiner explains to his interlocutor that he has his wife’s full support, as she listens with a mix of disgust and incredulity wrinkled in her face.

They hang up, and the two sit in silence for what seems like an eternity, unable to look at each other, before Weiner kicks the filmmakers out.

Moments later, the couple walks out to cameras and reporters, Abedin smiling. “This is between us in our marriage,” she explains. “I love him. I’ve forgiven him.”

Up-close scenes of a campaign in disarray are interspersed with clips of the media in scandal mode, dissecting every public moment of Weiner and Abedin’s life. Why does

she stick by his side? How many women were there? What is wrong with him?

We know politics is theater, but actually witnessing the principal actors switch in and out of character, as we do in Weiner, is truly astonishing. The rest of the film is filled with sequences like this: In one moment, staffers go around in a circle expressing frustrations with their boss. In the next, Abedin reminds Weiner’s campaign manager to look happy as she exits the building. “Just a quick optics thing,” she says. (Steven Hsieh) CCA, R, 96 min.

THE LOBSTER Colin Farrell plays David, a newly single man who lives in a sort of dystopia wherein those without a partner are sent to a purgatorial hotel and given a month and a half to find a mate, or they’ll be turned into the animal of their choosing. ”It’s an interesting take on societal pressures that dictate we must be paired off if we ever wish to be truly happy, and Weisz, who assumes the role of disembodied narrator for nearly two-thirds of the film, echoes the frustrating weirdness of the setup in a way that suggests she might be David’s conscience (if only he had one). Of course, that’s part of the bum deal humanity has received in The Lobster, and daily hunting for those who shirk the idea that partnership-equals-good (known here as “loners”) consistently keeps everyone on edge; there is no hope for trust between anyone.

It’s a good start, and an almost nihilism-lite version of the absurdist comedies of Wes Anderson. In fact, anyone who has seen The Grand Budapest Hotel will find a twisted familiarity to the halls and grounds of the sprawling country estate, but whereas Anderson knows how to create consistent characters who we still root for, even at their most obnoxious, The Lobster strays too far into dark comedy’s uncomfortable moments rather than those that are so bad they’re good. And then, just when we have acclimated to the idea of this bizarre arrangement, everything changes, and we practically jump into another movie altogether.

Farrell is excellent, however, even if the other characters have a problem with all being written the same and not being explored to any meaningful depth. John C Reilly may as well have not even been in the thing, and Weisz’ role as love interest lacks any real chemistry. It’s a bit odd at first to hear how everyone speaks in the same stilted manner, but the more we observe the performances, the more it seems the characters

barf “Hey, Sam Claflin,” says Emilia Clarke. “Have you seen my weird eyebrows?” have stripped down to basic human motivators, like sex and fear, and that is at least a worthwhile attempt at examining mankind on a less romantic level. (ADV) DeVargas, R, 119 min.

DARK HORSE Dark Horse: The Incredible True Story of Dream Alliance won the coveted audience award at 2015’s Sundance Film Festival for its enchanting look at the implausible success of Dream Alliance, an underdog racehorse bred by a barmaid and owned by a mixed bag of residents from a poor Welsh mining village. After their mine closes, 23 ordinary people formed a cooperative, or as they called themselves, the Syndicate. Each person in the Syndicate paid 10 pounds a week to support the horse, and their lives became intertwined with his; Dream Alliance revitalized the people and the town.

This is more than the story of a race: It

is the depiction of interwoven relationships between a group of people and an animal they love. As the group makes incredible strides, they are faced with difficulties, and in their darkest hour, the Syndicate’s only concern remains the life of Dream Alliance, who manages to become the first horse to win a race following stem-cell surgery.

This wonderful film shows interviews with the people who were involved, and each brings comedic warmth and honesty to the screen.

Dark Horse is sincere, sweet and told in a sentimental manner that will create a lump in your throat. Additional scenes of horses playing in fields, crafted by the superb cinematography of Benjamin Kracun, only add to the endearing overall feel, and besides, everyone loves a hero, right? Dark Horse will make you cry, make you cheer and make you glad you watched it.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of June 15th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) The coming months will be a favorable time to boost your skills as a cagey warrior. I don’t mean you should push people around and get into lots of fights. Rather, the goal is for you to harness your aggressiveness constructively and to wield your willpower with maximum grace. In the face of fear, you will not just be brave, but brave and crafty. You’ll refrain from forcing storylines to unfold before they’re ready, and you’ll rely on strategy and good timing instead of brute strength and the decree “Because I said so.” Now study this counsel from the ancient Chinese statesman Zhuge Liang, also known as Crouching Dragon: “The wise win before they fight, while the ignorant fight to win.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) During the next 15 months, you will have an unprecedented chance to materialize a fantasy you’ve harbored for years. Essential to your efforts will be a capacity to summon more ambition than you ever have before. I’m not talking about the grubby self-promotion that typically passes for ambition, however. Arrogant self-importance and selfish posturing will not be part of your winning formula. Rather, the kind of ambition I’m referring to is a soaring aspiration that seeks the best and highest not just for yourself but for everyone whose life you touch. I mean the holy hunger that drives you to express impeccable integrity as you seek to master the tasks you came to Earth to accomplish. Get started!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Everything you do in the coming days should be imbued with the intention of enhancing the Flow. It’s high time to identify where the energy is stuck, and then get it unstuck. You have a sacred mandate to relieve the congestion…to relax the tweaks…to unravel the snarls if you can, or simply cut through them if necessary. You don’t need to tell anyone about your secret agenda. Just go about your business with zealous diligence and unflagging purpose. If it takes more effort than you wished, so be it. If your progress seems maddeningly gradual, keep the faith.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) My long-term predictions for the next 15 months are a blend of hopeful optimism and a reasonable interpretation of the astrological omens.

Here we go: 1. You will have an excellent chance to smooth and soothe the rough spots in your romantic karma. 2. You will outgrow any addiction you might have to frustrating connections. 3. Unrequited love will either be requited, or else you’ll become bored with the futile chase and move on. 4. You’ll be challenged to either refresh and reinvent an existing intimacy, or else get shrewd enough not to repeat past mistakes in a new intimacy. 5. You will have an abundance of good ideas about how to install the theme of smart fun at the heart of your strongest alliances.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) During the next 15 months, composting should be a primary practice, as well as a main metaphor. If you have been lazy about saving leftover scraps from your kitchen and turning them into fertilizer, now is an excellent time to intensify your efforts.

The same is true if you have been lax about transforming your pain into useful lessons that invigorate your lust for life. Be ever-alert for opportunities to capitalize on junk, muck, and slop. Find secret joy in creating unexpected treasure out of old failures and wrong turns.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Have you ever made a fool of yourself while trying to fulfill your deepest yearnings? I hope so. If you haven’t, your yearnings probably aren’t deep enough. Most of us, on multiple occasions, have pursued our longings for connection with such unruly intensity that we have made foggy decisions and engaged in questionable behavior. That’s the weird news. The good news is that now and then, the impulse to leave our safety zone in a quest to quench our deepest yearnings can actually make us smarter and more effective. I believe this is one of those times for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) During the next 13 months, what can you do to enhance your ability to be CANCER (June 21-July 22) Author Courttia Newland the boss of yourself? What practices can you engage in quotes the pre-Socratic philosopher Meno: “How will you on a daily basis that will build your potency and authorigo about finding the thing the nature of which is totally ty and clout? How can you gain access to more of the unknown to you?” In response to this riddle, Newland riffs helpers and resources you need to carry out your life’s on what it means to him: “Even more important than the master plan? These are excellent questions to ask yourjourney itself, is the venture into the unknowable. The self every day between now and July 2017. It’s time to ability to find comfort moving forwards without quite find or create your ultimate power spot. knowing where you are going.” I nominate these to be your words to live by in the coming days, Cancerian. Have AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) The prison population in open-hearted fun as you go in search of mysterious and the U.S. is over two million, more than twice what it was impossible secrets! I’m confident you will track them in 1990. In contrast, Canada keeps about 41,000 people down—especially if you’re willing to be lost. in jail, Italy 52,000, and France 66,000. That’s the bad news.

BE MY FUR-EVER FRIEND! BABY 4 and her friend SAMEE have lived at BABY 4

Jackalope on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe for their whole lives. The new management wanted to see these sweet cats have loving homes to call their own in their adult years! Both BABY 4 and SAMEE are very sweet, outgoing and sociable, and have quickly adapted to the comfort of warm beds in their foster home. BABY 4 is quiet and a bit eccentric with a squeaky meow but as she warms up to you, she can be silent and enjoys being petted; she also likes playing with a string or toy mouse. BABY 4 is a beautiful girl with a short black & white coat in the tuxedo pattern. She is not bonded to SAMEE, although they do get along well together. SAMEE is a handsome boy with a short coat and orange tabby markings. AGE: Both born approximately 6/9/05.
