Of course global warming is real and disastrous. But there ends the reliable science in this article. Instead, we get the usual US Forest Service propaganda that “decades of fire suppression” are the problem—and as the tree/matchstick image suggests, that trees are the problem. Recent peer-reviewed science has disproved the notion that high-severity fires were historically rare. Forests managed themselves very well for tens of thousands of years, and they will continue to do so. The best thing humans can do is learn to live with natural fires and leave the forests alone. But there is no money in that. Forest “management” is all about money, not forest health. ... One hundred percent of the Jemez fires were/are human-caused, most of them intentional “prescribed burns.” The Jemez were burned up by the US Park Service (which started the biggest fire, Cerro Grande) and a utility company that failed to maintain its power lines. The incredible thing is that the Forest Service is still burning aggressively in the Jemez. It seems they will not stop burning and logging (aka “thinning”) until there is no tree left standing. Most people do not know that the Forest Service’s stated goal is to kill 95 percent (not a typo!) of the trees on our public lands. ... Killing 95 percent of trees is not management; it is deforestation. Opposition to prescribed burns is growing. As this article points out, the trees will have a hard time coming back.

The Tax Man Rep. Jason Harper’s big plans to revamp New Mexico’s gross receipts tax are too big
T
he bill is massive. It totals 408 pages. As written, it will fill the gap between New Mexico’s revenue and the $6.1 billion budget passed by the Legislature in March. Combined with other one-time cash grabs from things like idle state-funded construction projects, it could actually build the state’s cash reserves, too. But Rep. Jason Harper’s gross receipts tax reform bill—championed by the governor—will not see a single committee hearing in front of the Legislature when lawmakers are called into special session once more on Wednesday. “We’re not going to do it. It’s dead,” Speaker of the House Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe, confirms to SFR the day before the session starts. “The draft isn’t going to be ready until Thursday. ... The public doesn’t know what’s in it, members don’t know what’s in it, the media doesn’t know what’s in it.” The holiday weekend is ahead and lawmakers are anxious to pass a budget compromise and go home. A Memorial Day cookout is on their minds, and the appetite for major tax reform on minor notice is thin. Egolf says he’s personally a fan of tax reform and there’s broad interest in reform among his majority Democratic Party members in the House. But Egolf says it’s possible the Legislature could finish its work on the immediate issue of the budget within hours after he gavels in the special session at noon May 24. He’d then be keeping members around waiting for a huge bill they haven’t seen yet. Rep. Harper (R-Rio Rancho) has been working at tax reform for years. In the last session, he crafted House Bill 412, which proposed some dramatic changes to the state’s system of taxing gross receipts instead of a pure sales tax. It passed the House unanimously, but the Senate didn’t take it up. The bill that Harper has been working on is a three-headed hydra of tax proposals from the prior legislative session that Harper hoped would hold enough support to make its way to the governor.
He’ll have to hold his quest to slay the tax beast until next time. Harper, a chemical engineer at Sandia National Laboratories, has drawn so much attention for the effort that someone recently posted his home on Google as a business. His title: tax assessor. It’s funny to him. And a little sad. “The main goals are the same,” Harper tells SFR over his cell phone. He’s on the way back from Santa Fe with just a day before the session is set to start. “Fix our broken gross receipts tax system and turn it into a broad-based sales tax. The average rate around the state would be about 6 percent.” Broaden the tax base, lower the rate from its current statewide average of about 7 percent. Harper’s plan, which will likely reappear at the Legislature, would institute an online sales tax. It would eliminate the exemption for medical services except
We’re not going to do it. It’s dead. -Speaker of the House Brian Egolf

for Medicare, which primarily serves the elderly and those with kidney disease. That includes nonprofit hospitals and standalone doctors, as are often found in rural New Mexico. Nonprofit organizations would no longer be exempt from paying taxes on purchases. And, of course, there’s the food tax, which was exempted in 2005. “That’s the $300 million question, right?” Harper says. On Tuesday, Democrats learned that Harper’s bill would leave the food tax ex-

emption alone. To make up for that lost revenue, the state would double the excise tax on motor vehicles and increase the tax on health insurance premiums by 1 percent. Speaker Egolf tells SFR he anticipates the Legislature funding a study so that it can have a plan publicly available and ready to go when the lawmaking body meets as scheduled next January. If the state did let local governments once more collect sales tax on food, it could eliminate costly payments it has to make each year as part of a plan to ease the burden on cities of losing all that tax revenue. Harper said he was surprised by Egolf’s position. “I don’t think keeping folks around for three days instead of one is a big deal, especially if it means we can reform our broken and 60 years-out-of-date gross receipts tax. ... Running another study won’t tell us anything different,” he says. Democratic Rep. Bill McCamley of Las Cruces has also been vocal about reworking the state’s tax system. But he shies away from what he fears is a plan that might be well-researched, but could only be passed in slapdash fashion during a special session. “Tax reform is complicated. No one is disputing it should happen. But you have to do it right. If we pass something without vetting it, we may end up with something that’s worse than what we have now,” McCamley tells SFR. The Legislative Finance Committee, which employs some of the best analytical talent around when it comes to dissecting bills, said of Harper’s effort last session, “The complexity and magnitude of this bill made it almost impossible to score.” It wasn’t that the bill couldn’t be deciphered; it was that New Mexico hasn’t done much work to track the cost of the tax cuts lawmakers have passed. It also doesn’t have a great way to track the impact of tax pyramiding. The term describes what happens when gross receipts tax is piled successively on “services, supplies, raw materials and equipment.” The impact can jack up the final price of those things, making it harder on consumers than a standard sales tax on the final purchase. It can also impact small businesses, which can’t afford to hire their own human resources person or inhouse attorney. Harper had a plan to exempt much of those professional services from the state’s gross receipts tax, but it now appears it’s a plan that will get studied instead of passed.

DISPENSARY LAND SANTA FE’S FIVE
BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
CANNABIS
ew Mexico’s medical cannabis program is an ongoing experiment. Long-standing federal limits on research into the plant’s medical uses have forced patients, doctors and dispensary owners to improvise their ways to wellness; meanwhile state regulations keep a lid on unbounded growth the industry might otherwise see. There’s virtually no limit to the ways cannabis can be harvested, cultivated, extracted, distilled and consumed, and each body reacts differently to the plant. A joint rolled with a sticky sativa strain might ease your stomach cramps, but cause your friend anxiety; perhaps your brother enjoys slathering a cannabidiol-rich salve on his neck to ease chronic pain, but your grandmother prefers leaning back on the couch and resting her eyes after wolfing down a handful of indica-packed gummy bears. The state Department of Health reports 4,280 people were medical cannabis card holders in Santa Fe County at the end of April, about

a 36 percent increase from one year ago and a 121 percent boost from 2015. Patients in Santa Fe who don’t want to travel far can peruse five local dispensaries, each of which reflects a distinct style. While their locations were once considered protected information and only patients can shop inside, the storefronts hold their own as a new retail sector in the city. And with the number of cardholders in the state climbing past 40,000 and predicted to grow at a rapid pace, dispensaries in Santa Fe and beyond hope to expand their patient base. There are caps on how many plants each dispensary can grow, however, and some say that regulation, as well as a requirement that they run as nonprofit enterprises, hinder efficiency and keep the supply artificially low. Yet statewide, the industry’s intake is also growing at a brisk pace. First-quarter sales in 2017 were $19 million, a 91 percent rise over the same period in 2016, according to new data from the department. The dispensaries that SFR visited have patients that include teachers, doctors, veterans and trauma victims who’ve used cannabis to wean themselves off cocktails of pharmaceu-
tical drugs, and even former DEA agents who keep their personal medical histories closer to their chests. Some dispensary proprietors swear by their own intuitive abilities to heal the sick and comfort the weary, while others pride themselves on more meticulous record-keeping to figure out what works for their patients. Nearly all offer today’s standard menu of medicine and vessels: edibles like chocolate bars, fruity hard candies and lollipops; glass pipes to smoke the bud; vaporizers for the delicate-lunged; tinctures to drop under your tongue. Because of the state’s plant limit, however, most couldn’t supply the kind of highly-concentrated oils and other specialty products regularly on offer in other states that require a higher plant count to manufacture. Since SFR’s not a card-carrying patient, we could not sample the offerings. But we did visit all the licensed dispensaries.
also had experience as a food broker at Whole Foods, for which he visited dozens of food manufacturing facilities around the world to convince them to sell food products under the store brand. He also did category analysis for the company, boosting its bottom line by figuring out which products weren’t selling and acting accordingly. It’s a corporate-heavy background for somebody who now manages a nonprofit health organization, though Shortes has gone on record voicing his displeasure with the health department’s nonprofit requirement. But he has an affinity with his patients, 40 percent of whom he estimates suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (this tracks almost perfectly with the 42 percent of patients statewide who obtained a card for PTSD as of April). Shortes himself had a traumatic experience for which he says he medicates: While visiting family in Austin in 2013, an 18-wheeler slammed into his side of the Toyota Corolla, injuring him and his wife. It was more incentive to stay away

The lobby of Sacred Garden feels like a social club. On the day of our appointment at the store near Salvador Perez Park, we arrive just in time to see co-owner Zeke Shortes walk in and embrace a boisterous older woman in turquoise, who complained to him of possible tongue cancer as she held his hands; either she was a paid actress or Shortes clearly has a relationship with his patients. Shortes then started a tour through the facility’s kitchen, where we met his lead chef, Mary, who was mixing a bowl of chocolate but was most proud of the gummy worms she’d just cooked up, each packed with about half a joint’s worth of cannabis. Between the lobby and kitchen was the green-tinged selling room, where patients consulted with three young budtenders. Jars of hard candy sat on the glass counters: red strawana mango sativa, indica jalapeno-watermelon squares. Shortes knew little about cannabis before jumping into the business in 2009, having used it only occasionally before then. He migrated to Santa Fe that year from Austin, where he had worked for a decade at the company Applied Materials, “making systems that make semiconductor chips that make the world go ’round,”—a critical role within the architecture of global capitalism, maybe, but one that left Shortes feeling empty. He
from big-city life. He prefers the pace of Santa Fe. “People move slower, and there’s more camaraderie,” he tells SFR. He smiles when he thinks of the early days in 2009. “At first, we didn’t even have a retail shop, and I was doing deliveries,” he says. “I was probably only growing three genetics at the beginning, and poorly, compared to what we do now.” Shortes estimates that with his 7,500 patient count, he would be growing thousands more plants were it not for the Department of Health’s limit of 450 plants it imposes on producers. In the ideal world he envisions, Sacred Garden could function more like a regular business, taking funding from FDIC-insured banks and specializing in a particular area of the cannabis process, rather than doing everything—growing, cultivating, extracting and retailing—like it is now.
Sacred Garden on Luisa Street brings both the camaraderie and the cannabis.

The business structure of Shift is complicated, but it’s important for understanding what the dispensary claims to be its greatest strength: the quality of its bud flowers. “Shift New Mexico” is the business name for a nonprofit called Keyway, which holds the license to operate the cannabis dispensary, but the actual operator of the license—the entity that does all the cultivation, trimming and retail sales—is a management company called SNM. That company, in turn, is 33 percent owned by Colorado-based Shift Cannabis Company, which “provides oversight to [Shift New Mexico] to make sure they can produce the most cannabis they can with the highest quality, using what we’ve learned from operating in Colorado and other states,” says Reed Porter, co-founder and COO of Shift Cannabis Company. The perceived stigma of out-of-state ownership, coupled with SFR’s previous report that two former employees of the Department of Health had invested in the company before it was awarded a license in a competitive process by the very same department, might explain the initial stiffness of our meeting. Shift Cannabis CEO Travis Howard, also a co-founder, is quick to point out that all of Shift New Mexico’s board of directors are state residents, but also leans on the dispensaries’

experience “consulting and working with people that are either cultivating, extracting, or selling cannabis” in Colorado and 13 other states as a reason Shift New Mexico has an edge over its competitors. The dispensary opened March 1 and recently hired a full-time operations manager, Lyric Kali, a 10-year resident of Santa Fe who says the business will employ about 12 people and intends to contract with locals for Shift’s other needs. With plans to spend “a couple million” to open up greenhouses and extraction facilities in the future, the dispensary also hopes to to use its relatively deep pockets to build loyalty in Santa Fe’s business community.
The dispensary’s philosophy “errs on the side of allowing patients to keep their privacy,” Howard says, but notes the dispensaries’ budtenders are ready to work with patients to uncover their ideal cannabinoid and terpene ratios. He speaks with the kind of polished ease that would resonate in a courtroom. Shift sells cannabis wholesale to other producers, including New Mexicann, which also operates a dispensary in Santa Fe. Behind the Bisbee Court dispensary are the grow and cultivation rooms, where Shift produces some of the bud it sells in the front. In a grow room where some plants are already several feet in height, high-pressure sodium double-ended

lights beam down onto different strains of sativa (long and thin leaves), indica (wide) and hybrids. Howard explains that the operation uses sodium lights rather than more environmentally-friendly LEDs because the latter can’t heat the plants enough to expel their nitrogen. If you’ve ever tried lighting a bowl and watched the bud literally spark when touched by a flame, you’ve smoked nitrogen-heavy weed—and probably burned your throat in the process. “Instead of coming down here and saying, ‘Hey Santa Fe, we’re going to do this awesome thing and take care of your electricity,’” Howard offers, “we said, ‘We will get there, and our test facilities in other states will bring the LEDs when we figure out how to solve this problem.’” He says it’s another example of how Shift is using its out-of-state experience to build its operations in New Mexico.

THE MOTHER STORE Ultra Health’s Santa Fe dispensary feels more like a doctor’s office than do the other cannabis storefronts in the city, only it sports framed pictures of purple-tinged cannabis in the lobby instead of stock photos of soothing landscapes. We even waited a relatively long time in the fluorescent-lit lobby for the dispensary’s young manager John Gurule to call us in, just like at the doctor. Out of the seven Ultra dispensaries scattered across New Mexico, this one is the “mother store,” Gurule says later. The company also hopes to soon open locations in Silver City, Alamogordo and Deming. In 2014, Ultra Health, a for-profit company headquartered in Arizona, signed a 30-year management deal with dispensary Top Organics for access to the nonprofit’s license to staff, manage and operate dispensaries around New Mexico. Plants grow in Bernalillo for delivery all over the state. Its owner and CEO is Duke Rodriguez, who served as former Gov. Gary Johnson’s Human Services Department secretary. He’s a fastidious market-watcher of the cannabis industry in New Mexico, and rolls his observations into press releases that the company blasts out every few weeks. The company reported $1.96 million in sales for the first quarter of CONTINUED ON PAGE 16
LOOKING AHEAD: Gubernatorial
Candidates on NM’s Cannabis Future
C
ome 2019, Susana Martinez will no longer be in control of the state’s medical cannabis program. Whoever replaces her as governor will need to have a plan for how to adapt the program—or to even branch out and make cannabis legal for all adult buyers like other states that started with a medical-only program. SFR spoke to potential gubernatorial candidates about their views on cannabis—all Democrats. We also reached out to US Rep. Steve Pearce, rumored to be considering a run for governor on the Republican ticket. He did not reply by presstime.
JEFF APODACA Apodaca’s father, former governor Jerry Apodaca, was governor when New Mexico became the first state to legislate the medical use of cannabis in 1978 through Controlled Substances Therapeutic Research Act. The law authorized New Mexico State University to grow a small number of plants for cancer patients, but by the 1980s the program lost all funding. That’s how Jeff Apodaca was able to use medical cannabis throughout high school and college after he was diagnosed with cancer. “I did experience and saw the benefits across the board on medical cannabis and how beneficial it can be,” the former media executive tells SFR. He says a gap between rising demand for the plant and limits on supply call for the next administration to “seriously take a look at expanding medical cannabis.” Apodaca says his plan to create over 200,000 new jobs in the state includes the development of the hemp and cannabis industries. Specifically, he says the two industries together could create “almost 32,000 jobs” during his time as governor—including through recreational cannabis. But Apodaca says cannabis could be more than a driver of jobs: It could also be an area where New Mexico’s universities lead other states in research and development. “If they can create 34 different strains of green chiles, are you telling me we can’t lead
the world, the country, in [cannabis] research from our university?”
PETER DeBENEDITTIS Peter DeBenedittis thinks it’s “inevitable” that the state’s Legislature will expand patient access to medical cannabis, and he says he’s not going to stand in the way of any such legislation that arrives to his desk. But he’s also not necessarily going to stand up for it. “I’m neutral on it,” he replies after SFR asks him his position on medical cannabis. DeBenedittis seems to distinguish less between its medicinal and recreational uses than the other two candidates, and justifies his ambivalence by citing the moral hangups he believes people have regarding the plant. He also does not conceive of either medical or recreational cannabis as integral to his top five priorities as governor, which include introducing universal healthcare in the state, a living wage, state banking, early childhood education and tax reform. Those efforts, he says, are going to take “a lot of political capital and effort,” and says he won’t use that capital on cannabis until “the economy is fixed.” However, he does plan to remove restrictions on growing hemp in New Mexico as one of his first priorities for jobs and growth, and believes a cannabis industry would follow.
JOSEPH CERVANTES While state Sen. Joseph Cervantes hasn’t officially declared his candidacy, he’s hinted at it very strongly, and he’s prepared to talk pot. He voted in favor of legalizing medical cannabis as a state representative in 2007, and is in favor of removing the legal plant cap limit on dispensaries. As he sees it, it’s a choice that should be hashed out between the health department and producers, not the legislature. “It doesn’t serve any purpose to restrict or limit crop production,” Cervantes tells SFR. “We shouldn’t be creating an artificial barrier
and making it harder for people who have qualified for this program.” He’s also more comfortable with the idea of a recreational market for cannabis in New Mexico than he was before states like Colorado began their experiment. But his one sticking point is the potential for impaired driving to increase. He’d like to see a standardized way for law enforcement to confirm how stoned drivers are when they’re stopped, similar to breathalyzer tests for alcohol. “We’ve got to get to a place where we have a test and we have a standard,” he says. “I think we’ve got to have those laws in place.”
MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM “Incredibly favorable,” is how US Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham describes her current view on medical cannabis. She points to her time as health department secretary rolling out the state’s medical cannabis program in 2007 under then-Gov. Bill Richardson as proof of her bonafides. At the federal level, she supports legislation that would allow banks to take money from medical cannabis businesses, but she does not support a bill currently sitting in Congress that would regulate marijuana like alcohol and bring it under the purview of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. That’s because she sees cannabis primarily as a medicinal substance, and is a bit less favorable to the idea of legalizing it for social use. She says she’d like to see more “longitudinal studies” on the recreational markets in states like Colorado before bringing them to New Mexico. Any legislation legalizing recreational cannabis that arrives to her desk would have to address workers’ compensation, public safety and education, she says. It’s a balancing act she is also pursuing when it comes to lifting the caps on plants that dispensaries can grow. While some advocates for patient access want to completely do away with any limits, Lujan Grisham says she would be open to simply amending the caps so that the state’s supply of cannabis never exceeds patient demand.

2017, making it the state’s top cannabis seller, and Rodriguez also says that Ultra Health is the top wholesaler of cannabis to other dispensaries in the state. He was not present on the day that SFR visited the company’s Santa Fe dispensary, and he said this was because Ultra Health does not put administrative staff at its New Mexico dispensaries. Rodriguez is also among chief proponents for the state to lift the plant cap for growers. Ultra Health is currently suing the department over what it calls an “arbitrary and capricious production limitation” on the number of cannabis plants that the state’s 35 licensed nonprofit producers can grow. Although the company’s sprawling presence across the state and the sterile aesthetic of its Santa Fe dispensary may hint at an impersonal business approach, it was clear from our visit that there were regular patients at the dispensary who had relationships with the store’s budtenders. One slight woman who met the person at the reception desk with a hearty and familiar greeting was taken to the retail portion of the store, where another budtender began rolling her a joint with an indica strain she’d yet to try. Gurule says that most of the dispensaries’ patients showed up after Ultra Health took over Top Organics, where he had been a patient. He eventually started working as a budtender after the two entities struck a deal, and worked his way up to be a manager. He’s most interested in talking about

his dispensary’s relationship to its patients. “We ask them how their day is, and then it just goes from there,” says Gurule, who says his own medication regimen helps him connect with patients. “I understand what they’re going through because I go through it too— maybe not the same scenario, but we’re pretty much on the same chapter.” In a later phone call, Rodriguez told SFR that the company’s lawsuit against the health department over its plant cap will go to trial on July 24 if it is not resolved before then.

the art of the tincture: Barren claims to have a natural intuition for healing, and mixes all sorts of natural ingredients with variations of cannabis to cure a wide range of ailments, though she specializes in treating cancer symptoms. One of the most powerful effects of cannabis, she tells SFR, is its ability to enhance the healing properties when combined with other herbs. For that reason, Fruit of the Earth also manages a CBD (cannabidiol)only room attached to the dispensary, where shoppers who don’t have a cannabis card can buy CBD-infused, nonpsychoactive tinctures, desserts, juices and even caffeine drinks at an “elixir bar.” There’s also a jar asking for donations for the now-disbanded Standing Rock Sioux Tribe anti-pipeline encampment in North Dakota, hinting at the owner’s personal politics. It can be easy to write off somebody claiming to have natural healing abilities, but Barren says many people swear by her CBD healing salve. Underneath colorful pieces of cloth shielding us from the harsh fluorescent light, she spoke more candidly about her personal relationship to cannabis than any other dispensary managers were willing to divulge. Fruit of the Earth is the only dispensary in town that gets all its cannabis from an outdoor grow, which is managed by Barren’s son, co-owner Jaum Barren. She considers indoor grows incompatible with plant’s spiritual needs. “I believe there’s a spirit that goes into the plants,” she tells SFR. “When they’re growing out with the breezes and the birds, they’re more happy and ecstatic,

and have a higher vibration. ... Everyone else does regular rotation out of warehouses, but we grow one big harvest, which allows us time to cure the medicine properly for six months.” She also says that Fruit of the Earth does not take money from big investors “who can influence what we do for profit,” and says she intends to keep it that way. FRUIT OF THE EARTH ORGANICS 901 Early St., 310-7917 fruitoftheearthorganics.com
“We are definitely advocates for our patients,” New Mexicann Natural Medicine dispensary manager Josh Alderete tells SFR. “Cannabis is still considered a Schedule 1 drug [by the federal government], and we still come out here and get it done because we believe in what it does.” Alderete has just taken a pause from consulting with a patient at the New Mexicann dispensary in Santa Fe, which looks like a cross between an Americana beer hall and a doctor’s office. Behind the front counter is a large sign that says “We Only Serve New Mexico Grown,” and paintings from local artists adorn the walls in the waiting area. Cannabis-themed issues of Sunset Magazine and the New Yorker lay on a coffee table, and a t-shirt from the Drug Policy Alliance that demands “NO MORE DRUG WAR” hangs on a window. Alderete says New Mexicann is moving forward after the July 2015 accident in which two of its workers, Mark Aaron Smith and Nicholas Montoya, were severely burned while using butane to extract THC from cannabis. Both men have open lawsuits against New Mexicann, but Smith is also suing Montoya, who Smith alleged in a suit asked him to assist in the extraction process despite a lack of experience. The accident happened at a time when New Mexicann was growing quickly, having added a greenhouse and a hoop house to increase plant production for new dispensaries in Española, Taos and Las Vegas. The dispensary was forced to pay $13,500
in fines for labor violations to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and its board of directors removed its former executive director, Len Goodman. It’s a lot of drama for a place that genuinely appears to work with people throughout the inpatient process and likes to boost other local businesses in Santa Fe. A table in the lobby offers businesss cards from services such as a hair salon, architect and natural phsyician. Alderete says the dispensary has doctors and pain specialists that frequent the facility to help people obtain cards and consult with the budtenders. If you don’t have a card but want to know how you can get one—assuming you have one of the 21 qualifying conditions—you can pop into the dispensary and ask New Mexicann staff. You can also get a member discount if you submit a W2 and make below a certain income threshold. Peering into the future, Alderete says he’d like for the health department to remove the 450 cap on plants so the dispensary can produce a wider variety of products. He says there is “definitely” a shortage of cannabis in the program. “Once we have a strain, we only have it for about a week and then it’s sold out,” he tells SFR. “It’d be nice to have more supply so people can have the most consistent medicine that works for them.”

THE ENTHUSIAST
Ticket to Ride
Angel Fire’s lift-served bike park makes for a love affair for ‘gravity riders’
BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
F
ew are the moments a human can start at the top of a 2,000foot hill and cruise down in a manner that feels like flying. That’s the promise of downhill mountain biking—at least according to its acolytes. The dubious, or the well-initiated simply looking to drool over a new ride, will flock to Angel Fire Resort for Memorial Day Weekend, when the largest bike park in the Rockies kicks off its summer season with Demo Daze. Fleets of bikes available for free demos come from Yeti, Santa Cruz, Specialized, Scott and Jamis. For the price of a lift ticket, riders can access more than 60 miles of trails, and that’s just in the downhill portion. Not into downhill? (Fair—some riders think it feels much more like flirting with death than like flying.) Another 40 miles
of cross-country trails wend through the valley, some of them taking off right from the ski area parking lot. “The pitch is really just getting away from the norm and trying something that’s a little different,” says Hogan Koesis, bike park manager for Angel Fire Resort. “People of all ages and abilities, if they make a leap of faith and try it, they generally like it.” New riders at Angel Fire may, however, be a little surprised by just how vast the terrain can be. “People are taken off-guard by how lost they get. It’s not just a handful of trails where it’s a one-day experience; it’s at least a weeklong experience, and one where if you don’t have a guide, you can get pretty lost the first couple days,” he says. He then quickly adds, “Not lost in a bad way, just lost from the trail options. It’s all signed. There’s so much to ride that you get overwhelmed. If you’re just here for a day, it’s like, good luck. Good luck finding the trails you want to ride, because there’s such an array.” In the six years he’s been at Angel Fire, he’s seen families dabble and return, addicted. Some people go all-in, buying houses to access the bike park. “It’s really exciting to see that shift,” he says.
Part of what has worked is how the town has received mountain biking in general, taking care to welcome the culture and staff a good trail crew that keeps trails well-maintained. “There’s a lot more that goes into it than just, ‘Build it and they’ll come,’” he says. “You have to have a trail system that’s worth fighting for.” Events have worked to draw people in, but he contends it’s the trails that keep them coming back. That it’s a system a new rider can get lost in is key. If you have just a handful of trails, riders move on quickly to the next mountain town. Angel Fire also works to constantly improve trails, adding material or culverts, building new jumps and berms. This season will see the opening of a new trail, DaVinci Code, and new wood features and bridges thanks to a recently acquired sawmill. If there’s something bigger at play here, it is perhaps a community-building effort that keeps people in a ski town through the summer months, equally drawn by its appeal as a biking destination. While Santa Fe has lots to please those motivated to pedal uphill, or use an RTD bus to deliver them to the top of the Winsor Trail, niche “gravity riders”—those

who purchase the 1 percent of bikes made specifically to run downhill—have to look elsewhere for their lines. Lifts here shut down in April at the end of ski season and re-open in October for leaf-peepers, leaving the ski basin primarily hikers’ territory in the summer months. Is downhill riding really for everyone? Koesis points to two older ladies in their mid-60s, who come up to Angel Fire every other day, between days spent golfing, to take a couple laps on the beginner-level trail, and then call it a day. “We see both ends of the spectrum,” he says. Like any sport, it has a learning curve. And like skiing, it has trails labeled green, blue or black according to level of difficulty. “Once you figure it out, it’s a whole lot like skiing and snowboarding—it feels like you’re floating,” he says. And here it is again: “It’s like flying. It’s actually kind of quiet, and really peaceful.” DEMO DAZE Saturday and Sunday May 27 and 28. Lift tickets: $39-$49.

MUSIC SAT/27 SURF’S UP Following the loss of original guitarist Thomas Fekete to cancer in May of last year and the exit of bassist Kevin Williams, Surfer Blood front man John Paul Pitts was at a crossroads for the band’s latest release, Snowdonia. But theirs is ultimately a story of triumph, and as the indie darlings recouped from being dropped by major label Warner and formed a new lineup, they’ve proven to be as relevant as ever. Surfer Blood hits this year’s Oasis Teen Arts and Music Festival, a teen-aimed precursor to AMP Concerts’ Summer Concert Series in the Railyard that also includes teen-led acts like DJ Oli, Take the Tide and Lily and Gray Pinto.

Solo Project Heather Trost goes it alone with Agistri A musician doesn’t wind up collaborating with the likes of Hawk and a Hacksaw or Beirut if they’re without ability, and Albuquerque’s Heather Trost is certainly nothing if not prolific. Of course, she’s thus far stuck to the background of things but, with her solo debut Agistri, Trost sets out to put herself on the map—and boy, does she. Like a sugary-sweet take on the electronic rock and pop formula of M83 (but far more accessible to the indie rock crowd), Trost unleashes dreamscape pop pieces as full of subtly gorgeous moments and flourishes as they are of blips and bloops. Trost even knocks it out of the park with a stunning rendition of the ultimate friendship anthem—the criminally underrated Harry Nilsson’s “Me And My Arrow”—from the bizarre 1971 animated film The Point. Don’t think a cover means Trost is short on original ideas, though, as her soundscapes are varied and listenable; like the soundtrack to a trance-like sojourn through some indescribably beautiful desert. It’s an interesting direction for a musician who has, thus far, been known more for her work with stringed instruments (especially the vi-
olin), but one can’t help but think Trost was perhaps learning and cataloguing the weirder indie-pop elements of bands she’s previously worked with in an effort to release something that’s all at once nostalgically familiar and yet groundbreaking. Hell, there are even members of Neutral Milk Hotel and Deerhoof present on Agistri, and that ain’t half-bad for a violinist from Albuquerque. Trost plays from the album (among other songs, we’re guessing) at Zephyr Community Art Studio this Sunday alongside Athens, Georgia-based indie weirdo Max Knouse. Now, no one is saying Zephyr doesn’t know how to do it (they most certainly do), but this particular show really ups the bar for what we know from the DIY arts/music space. (Alex De Vore)

MUSIC Now that Wavves a full-band thing, have y’all been working together more on songs? With every record it’s been different, but it’s definitely a more collaborative process now. On You’re Welcome, what we did was, Nathan wrote half the songs and built on them with looping and samples for months, and then we sat on them for months. We had a whole arsenal of loops going back and forth, and then we just kind of started building them up. Everyone, luckily, gets to do what they want. You’ve been confused for Nathan Williams in interviews before. Does that still happen? It happens all the time! On the Wikpedia for Wavves, it even said that Alex Gates, the guitarist, was the founder and lead singer. There’s lots of fake news. Is it difficult to deal with what seems like intense pressure that so often gets put on this band? I agree with you, and I think there is a lot of expectation. I guess. And I hope we meet with most people’s expectations, but I know you can’t please everyone. I think it’s a good thing. If people have that strong an opinion about us, be it good or bad—any press is good press, mostly.
Wavve hi to San Diego’s Wavves this Tuesday at Skylight.
Wavvelengths BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
avves began as the heartfelt bedroom project of San Diego’s Nathan Williams— sort of like a more punk rock version of Pinback for the Weezer or Superdrag set. But in the years since he was using his laptop to slap together angsty songs on the topics of self-loathing, isolationism and totally liking weed and acid, Williams formed a full band, achieved (then ditched) indie label support from Fat Possum, took to self-financing releases through the band’s own label, Ghost Ramp, suffered a public breakdown during a performance at a festival in Spain and, all the while, put out some of the most earnest pop-rock music of the last decade. Wavves is a force to be
reckoned with, like the second coming of 1990s alternative music—just don’t call them surf—and champions of an actually sustainable DIY mentality tailor-made for rock and effing roll. With the May 19 release of You’re Welcome, the band continues its layered pop explorations with further experiments in fuzzy garage-punk tracks, never afraid to take its time building to something. It’s rare that a song goes exactly where you think it will, and though there’s a throwback feel to a certain extent, it never feels dated or beholden to any particular influences. We caught up with bassist Stephen Pope, a longtime member and all-around nice dude, to get some details on the band, the release of the new album (the band’s sixth) as well as their current tour and what the future might hold for these titans of indie. How’s it going out there on the road? It’s good! I’ve gotten to visit places around the country I never thought I would—like Pelham, Alabama. We did some dates with blink-182.

SAN DIEGO’S WAVVES PLAYS THE SONGS OUR HEARTS WOULD SING
Wavves has struggled with record labels in the past. Do you prefer selffinancing albums, or has that just made things much harder? [You’re Welcome] was done completely on our own, and the last two were done with Warner, and it was just really … It wasn’t the right fit. It felt weird having to answer to people who don’t know anything about you, having to answer to
them about your art. So we had way more freedom just doing it ourselves. Obviously, we spent all our money and our credit cards on making and manufacturing the album, but overall, I’m very happy with how it turned out. It’s the only way it could turn out this way. We didn’t have time pressure, we didn’t have someone standing over us. We worked with [producer] Dennis Herring in Los Angeles. He has this studio called dtla or Downtown LA, and we had worked with him before and loved the results. It’s strange—he’s an oddball, but he’s this great producer. I would say he’s a god from a different world who maybe doesn’t quite understand human interactions. I’m curious about what kind of scene you came up in. Alex, the guitarist, and I grew up together, and we were friends since elementary school. I think it started out when we were around 13 and going to hardcore and metalcore shows, and I kind of stuck with that through high school. Most venues were 21-plus, but hardcore was in places where kids could go and listen to music. I still love hardcore, but after high school I started getting more into punk, garage stuff. I’m pretty into metal now, but I don’t get the time to go to metal shows. A lot of them, since we were in Memphis, were Christian hardcore bands, and I never really totally related to the music I was seeing even though I was seeing live music. I was probably 18 and saw some punk band after a hardcore band, and once I saw music that was maybe a little more about the music and less about being an angry bro, I definitely flipped the switch. I’ve heard a lot of people try to describe the Wavves sound, but it’s kind of hard. What I hear most is, like, darker Weezer. Is that fair? I like that. I think that’s fair. A lot of times, people kind of lump us in and call us a surf band, which I think is just so far off—it’s just an easy one because we started in San Diego and we’re called Wavves. But, and especially with this new album, we’re kind of all over the place on the genre map. I think what makes a Wavves song a Wavves song is Nathan’s voice. … [Even] if he sings over a hip-hop beat, it’ll sound like a Wavves song.

I have two female sex partners who want to be breath-play dominated. I know the practice is dangerous, and I employ the rules of consent and communication a pro-Dom escort friend taught me. But is there a legal release document we could sign that protects consenting adults in the event of an accident or death? -Ruminating About Consensual Kinks Restricting someone’s air intake is always dangerous, RACK, and while we all too often hear about people dying during solo breath play, aka “auto-erotic asphyxiation” (an activity no one should engage in ever), we rarely hear about someone dying during partnered breath play. (I recently discussed partnered breath play with Amp from Watts the Safeword, a kink-friendly sex-ed YouTube channel. Look up Episode 533 at savagelovecast.com.) That said, RACK, someone can’t consent to being strangled to death by accident. “The lawyers in my office discussed this, and we agree that there is no way to ‘waive’ or ‘consent to’ criminal negligence resulting in substantial bodily harm or death,” said Brad Meryhew, a criminal-defense attorney who practices in Seattle. “I don’t think you’ll find any lawyer who would draft such an agreement. Even if an agreement were executed, it is not going to constitute a complete defense if something goes wrong. There are principles of criminal liability for the consequences of our decisions, as well as public-policy concerns about people engaging in extremely dangerous behaviors, that make it impossible to just walk away if something goes wrong.” Another concern: Signing such a document could make breath play more dangerous, not less. “A person who had such a waiver might be tempted to push the boundaries even further,” said Meryhew. And now the pro-Dom perspective… “As consenting adults, we assume the risks involved in this type of kink,” said Mistress Elena, a professional Dominant. “But if you harm your partner or they become scared, shamed, shocked, or, even worse, gravely injured, it’s the Dom’s problem. At any time, the submissive can change their mind. Some cases have been classified as ‘rape’ or ‘torture’ afterward, even though consent was initially given. It’s our job as Dominants/Tops/Leads to make sure everyone is safe, consenting, and capable.” I’m a 32-year-old guy, my gal is 34, and we’ve been together for two years. Every time we get it on or she goes down on me (though not when I eat her out), my mind wanders to fantasies involving porno chicks, exes, or local baristas. A certain amount of this is normal, but I’m concerned that this now happens every time. When I’m about to come, I shift my mind back to my partner and we have a hot climax, but I feel guilty. Advice? -Guilty Over Nebulous Ecstasy I’ve been asked what biases advice columnists have. Do we favor questions from women? (No, women are just likelier to ask for advice.) Are we more sympathetic to women? (Most advice columnists are women, so…) Are we likelier to respond to a question that opens with a compliment? (Of course.) But the solvable problem is our biggest bias. Some people write in with problems that they’ll need an exorcist, a special prosecutor, a time machine, or some combo of all three to solve. I could fill the column week after week with unsolvable problems, and my answers would all be variations on ¯\_(Ð)_/¯. Your letter, GONE, is a good example of the solvable problem—a letter likelier to make it into the column—and, as is often the case, the solution to your problem is right there in your letter. You’re able to “shift [your] mind” back to your partner when you’re about to come, and

when you eat her out, your mind doesn’t wander at all. My advice: Make the shift earlier/often and engage in more activities that force you to focus (like eating her out). Problem solved. P.S. A lot of people allow their mind to wander a bit during sex—supplementing the present sensations with memories, fantasies, local baristas, etc. If it keeps you hard/wet/game and isn’t perceptible (if you don’t start mumbling coffee orders), your partner benefits from your wanderings. My college girlfriend and I were together for four years. The relationship ended 10 years ago when she cheated on me. She did eventually marry the guy, so, hey, good for them. She recently gave birth to a boy. She gave her son my name as his middle name. Nobody in either family has this name and it isn’t an especially common name. I’ve asked dozens of people with kids, and nobody can think of a reason why a person would give their child a name anywhere close to an ex’s name. Thoughts? -Nobody’s Answers Make Effing Sense Maybe your college girlfriend remembers you a little too fondly. Maybe a family friend had the same name. Maybe she met someone else with your name in the last 10 years, and she and her husband had a few threesomes with that guy, and she remembers those fondly. Maybe you’ll run into her someday and she’ll tell you the real reason. Now here are a few definitelys to balance out all those maybes, NAMES: This is definitely none of your business and you definitely can’t do anything about it—people can definitely give their children whatever names they want—and there’s definitely no use in stressing out about it. I’ve been reading your column forever—like “Hey Faggot!” forever—and your response to CLIF (the guy whose wife could no longer orgasm from PIV sex after having a child) is first time I’ve felt the need to gripe about your advice. My wife was also the “Look, ma, no hands!” type, and it was amazing to be able to look into her eyes as we came together. But after a uterine cyst followed by a hysterectomy, something changed and that came to an end. It was a pretty hard hit for us sexually and emotionally. Toys, oral, etc. had always been on the table, but more as part of being GGG than as the main source of her coming. For a long time, it put her off sex as a source of her own pleasure. Things have gotten much better, but I’d be lying if I said we didn’t occasionally talk wistfully about that time in our relationship. I can empathize with what CLIF is going through. When we went through this, we did research and spoke with doctors wondering the same thing: Is there some way to reclaim that PIV-and-her-orgasms connection. We even thought of writing you, the wise guru of all things sex, but am I glad we didn’t. In response to CLIF asking for some fairly simple advice, you bluntly said that it’s not a problem that she can’t come from PIV sex. You ignored the fact that up until fairly recently, she could. Then you suggest that, because he hasn’t mastered the subtle art of acronyms, he might be a shitty lover whose wife has been faking orgasms for years and is just tired of it. Dick move, Dan. -A Callous Response Only Negates Your Motivation You’re right, ACRONYM, my response to CLIF was too harsh. But as you discovered, there wasn’t a way for you and your wife to reclaim that PIV-and-her-orgasms connection. So CLIF would do well to take Dr. Gunter’s advice and embrace how his wife’s body works now and not waste too much time grieving over how her body/PIV orgasms used to work then.

SELFIE
In December 2013, the New Mexico Museum of Art (107 W Palace Ave., 476-5072) opened Renaissance to Goya, a collaboration with the British Museum that featured gorgeous Spanish prints. This Friday, the NMMA kicks off its second show with the British Museum titled Lines of Thought: Drawing from Michelangelo to Now (through Sept. 17). With drawings that span back to ancient Egypt and cover the likes of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Cézanne, Mondrian and many more, the massive show not only represents a glorious cross-section of the fundamental beginning of most visual arts, it proves Santa Fe can hang with the best of ‘em, no problem. We caught up with NMMA’s Head of Communications and Special Initiatives Ryan Stark to get the lowdown. (Alex De Vore) How big is this show, exactly? There are 70 drawings in the show, and there’s going to be something that stretches all the way through ancient Egypt up through 21st-century works. Why do you think some of these artists have been so enduring? Someone with an art history background could probably speak better to the technique and development, but the way I look at it is: These are artists who, from the very time they began putting their work out there, have managed to strike a chord with people by commuinicating on a massive level in terms of age and in terms of longevity. Is there anything in the show you’re particularly blown away by? I’m especially curious about the Da Vinci drawing, for the simple reason that I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a Da Vinci work in person. Like a lot of people who might come to the show, I’m going to experience my first in-person viewings of these things. I think, given the depth and notoriety of quite a few of these artists, that it will appeal to year-round and first-time visitors.

Summer 2017 Trends in 1960s Garments STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO I L L U S T R AT I O N S B Y T H E A M I L I N A I R É
B
ohemian style is ever-present. Beyond cliché staples (tie-dye, peace sign earrings), there are entire companies dedicated to marketing lazy-polished earth-mama wear. The forever-reigning royalty of this aesthetic: hippies in the 1960s and 1970s. They birthed a ton of trends that are popular right now, like printed platform heels, suede ensembles, wide-leg pants, culottes, off-the-shoulder blouses and bright floral prints. Don’t believe me? See for yourself at Voices of Counterculture in the Southwest at the New Mexico History Museum, which pays tribute to the cultural period in New Mexico in the 1960s and 1970s with a massive display of photography and memorabilia, including original garments and jewelry worn during these decades of free love. Voices is a collaborative effort by Curator Meredith Davidson and historian, author and radio producer Jack Loeffler highlighting New Mexico as a destination for those seeking alternative lifestyles. “There are some [photos] that bleed into the ’80s, but the majority hit between 1967 and 1975,” Davidson says. The exhibit highlights six communes that developed around the state with oral histories told by over 40 people who lived among them. A sparkly wall of bead curtains forms the entrance to the huge exhibit. You can hear Allen Ginsberg reading his masterwork Howl as you’re bathed in purple and amber light, practically time-machined back to a groovier period. A pale blue VW Bus with one of its windows converted to a television scrolls scenes of New Mexico landscapes. Small alcoves throughout the show are dedicated to specific alternative living experiments, like The Hog Farm, New Buffalo, the Lama Foundation and Libre, each of which embraced its own ideologies, practices and free-spirited styles. The high desert attracted a particular
kind of hippie. “New Mexico’s story is really not like a flower-power, sex, drugs and rock ’n’ roll story,” Davidson tells SFR. “It’s more of an exploration of alternatives and of what it means to live and to practice more in tune with nature and sustainability.” The Hog Farm portion of the exhibit features a small square-floral top crocheted with colorful yarn. It’s a chic-grandma pattern you’ll see on expensive modern knits, including a cardigan Nasty Gal made in 2016, which sold out a few days after its release. In the same area, you’ll see a matching beige halter and skirt set that looks worn, like whatever babely ’60s gal owned it really lived in it. Fashionistas (I hate that word) today could rock the pair just as easily; matching sets are bonkers-popular right now. Despite the totally unglamorous name of their home, the Hog Farm commune’s members had style, which is depicted again in an image from a ceremony in Los Alamos from 1969: The women in the photograph wear floor-length paisley and floral off-the-shoulder dresses, which definitely seem like hippie iterations of the striped preppy ones you’ll see girls wearing all summer. The alcove dedicated to Yogi Bhajan, the guru who introduced kundalini yoga to the West, features photographs of parties he held with his following in the Santa Fe mountains. In one image, a girl with a bouncy afro sits in her boyfriend’s lap wearing a flowing purple wrap and green skirt—a strange color combination that has popped up on recent runways with descriptors like “eggplant” and “moss.” Physical examples of garments in the musuem also mirror current trends. A particular blouse—which belonged to
Lisa Law, who also made and owned that matching set and took most of the photographs in the exhibit—is a stunning example of Mexican embroidery, which is one of the hottest trends in the world right now. We’ve seen it on every garment imaginable in the past year, from Gucci denim jackets to Dior’s mostly sheer Resort 2017 collection, which recently debuted on a sand catwalk in the California desert. Expect it on swimsuits and even espadrilles this summer. Not gonna lie—I’m into it. Davidson says that at the time, Mexico was an alternative mecca for the West, an influence blatant in the fashion. While New Yorkers journeyed to India to connect with new beliefs and ways, Californians and New Mexicans were hitting Mexico. “The fashion that developed in the hippie and counterculture scene here was more deeply influenced by Mexican traditions than by Indian traditions,” says Davidson, “so you get things like huipils [embroidered blouses] that come out of Mexico.” Another wall features a screen playing the 1968 documentary Revolution, which captured life in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, a counterculture hotspot at the time. It stars New Mexico-born Louise (renamed Today) Malone as the hippie heroine. In the film, Davidson says, Malone dons “what you traditionally think of as the flower power-y, hippie-chic clothing.” She wears a bright canary-yellow color in a few scenes, and similar pieces have appeared in summer collections recently. Her long dresses with bell sleeves are long and flowered, looking like vintage versions of current Chloé pieces. Just as what goes around comes back around in fashion, Davidson says she hopes visitors can see history’s cyclical patterns in the exhibit and find inspiration from a generation that chose to stand up and protest war and government corruption. “A lot of the issues we touch on are things that people are still grappling with now, whether that’s how to be an engaged citizen or how to stand up for rights,” she says. “Hopefully young people can be inspired by the fact that there’s this whole generation that stood up and made things possible for people today.” VOICES OF COUNTERCULTURE IN THE SOUTHWEST 10 am-5 pm daily. Through Feb. 11, 2018. Museum admission $7-$12. New Mexico History Museum, 113 Lincoln Ave., 476-5200

Switchel It Up Food fads come and go, but at least this one tastes good BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ealth fads are annoying. Most of them are silly and have very little basis in reality. And they don’t even taste good most of the time. Kale is gross, everyone. Seriously. Just stop. Even chef Martín Rios of Restaurant Martín thinks so. Most of the current health food trends focus on products designed to lower inflammation or to help with digestion. There are cases of kombuchas and probiotic beverages all over the place. You can even get kombucha on tap at the Violet Crown Cinema, in case you want to eat a whole tub of popcorn and then prevent that stomachache. The problem with most health fads is that they don’t actually address the root issues. We eat garbage. We are over-stressed in our daily lives. We live in extremes. A magic potion won’t fix this. No matter how much Dr. Oz or Gwyneth Paltrow promote it, snake oil is still snake oil. That said, there are some foods that are genuinely beneficial: Turmeric is nature’s ibuprofen, honey helps with allergies and the herb feverfew will clear up a headache. The go-to home remedy for hippie crowds, the favorite be-a-better-you food to bring up, is apple cider vinegar. You can find shelves of the stuff at Whole Foods and organic grocery stores. You can’t throw a rock without hitting someone in Santa Fe who will tout the benefits of the stuff. In general, vinegar has been said to cure everything from inflammation to cancer. While it’s not that potent, it does do some things we can all agree are wonderful. It has been said to help pH balance and inflammatory diseases and to help regulate stomach acids. Drinking it while eating is

supposed to squash your hunger reflex, so it’s good for dieting. Adding small amounts to foods lowers the glycemic index of carbohydrates, so it’s good for diabetics. Very little of this is backed up by hard science. But folk medicines exist for a reason, and vinegar has had a place in folk remedies for millennia. In ancient Rome and Greece people drank posca, vinegar with water and herbs. The main reason to create such a concoction was to make
poor-quality water taste better and to kill the bacteria in it. These watered-down vinegar-based drinks have come to be known as shrubs. My favorite has always been the version called switchel, or haymaker’s punch, which has recently had a bit of a resurgence in popularity. Switchel has cloudy origins. It’s rumored to have come from the Caribbean, but there are also claims it originated in New England. Whatever the origins, it entered into mainstream usage in America in the late 1700s and was served to farmhands during harvest time as a refresher. Switchel varies from other versions of shrub in its addition of ginger to make it taste “warm.” Farmhands were unable to drink alcohol while working, and the ginger gave a burn MICHAEL J WILSON
that resembled the sensation of drinking booze. Ginger also has the benefit of being a strong natural anti-inflammatory. It’s not worth buying expensive readymade; the drink is pretty easy to prepare. Chances are you have most of the ingredients in your pantry. All you need is water, apple cider vinegar, maple syrup and ginger. The version here is also a great base for cocktails. Whiskey goes great with it, as does rum. And who knows, it might make you feel better too. INGREDIENTS: Makes 2 quarts • • • • • • •
1 5-inch piece of fresh ginger ½ cup apple cider vinegar ¼ cup maple syrup Juice of 1 lime Pinch of salt 5 cups sparkling water Fresh ginger, mint and blueberries to garnish (though any berry will work)
DIRECTIONS: 1 Peel and juice the ginger; you should end up with ⅓ cup. You can use a garlic press for this. If you don’t have a juicer or press, you can chop the ginger and boil it in 3 cups of water. Let the ginger steep for 30 minutes. If you use this method, cut the amount of water added later by however much you end up with steeping. The boiling method will produce a lighter taste. 2 In a pitcher, add the ginger and apple cider vinegar. Stir in the maple syrup until it has fully dissolved. Add the lime and salt. 3 At this point you can refrigerate or serve. It’s better if it sits for a bit so that the flavors combine. When ready to serve, add sparkling water and give the pitcher a good stir. 4 I like to use clear serving glasses since this is a pretty drink. Muddle mint and blueberries in the bottom. Add a few slices of fresh-cut ginger. Drop in a few ice cubes and pour the switchel over top. Add a mint sprig or lime slice for garnish, and you are ready for summer.

VISUALS AND MICHAEL FASSBENDER - IF I CREATED RIDLEY SCOTT’S MANKIND, I’D BE TEMPTED TO GIVE UP ON THEM, TOO

In the futuristic world of 2104, which director Ridley Scott renders in jaw-dropping fashion, mankind has colonized planets and built synthetic humanoids. But they’ve also apparently abandoned wearing space suits and testing atmospheres—as they did in the previous Alien installment, Prometheus, which is set just 10 years earlier—and decided to wing it on a new planet. It does not go well. Alien: Covenant is not a horror flick. It’s scifi. There’s some quality suspense, but not a ton. More than anything, the movie feels like a chapter, the conscience of which is Katherine Waterston (Inherent Vice) as Daniels, who becomes the second-in-command aboard the colonization freighter Covenant. Waterston delivers some of the most important lines and seems to be the only one with the little voice in her head that says, “Maybe we shouldn’t.” If everyone played it safe, this would admittedly be a boring movie about a

long trip through space, but there’s no real drama to the decisions the crew must make. Despite mankind’s advanced state of existence, the crew of 15 contains just three African Americans and one Hispanic. Sadly, the only notable role among them is Demián Bichir’s (The Hateful 8) Lope, a well-played security team leader. While Idris Elba was believable as a no-nonsense pilot in Prometheus, Danny McBride is less so as a ratty-straw-hat cowboy. He seems more at home steering a jet ski as Kenny Powers in HBO’s Eastbound and Down, and though McBride has shown range in non-comedic assignments, he seems miscast here. Scott smartly homes in on Michael Fassbender who, despite being a humanoid, is the dark soul of the movie. Fassbender’s David has
the same chip on his shoulder in Covenant as his Peter-O’Toole-obsessed self in Prometheus. His new iteration, Walter, is David’s less-inquisitive self. The interplay between them brings some of the movie’s most poignant moments. Like Prometheus before it, Covenant scratches at a lot of larger issues but, ultimately, I want this film to do more. It doesn’t take much to get me to suspend disbelief in sci-fi—I want to be on that new planet or in that ship—but you’ve gotta try. Director Scott doesn’t seem to agree. ALIEN COVENANT Directed by Scott With Fassbender, Waterston and McBride Regal, Violet Crown, R, 122 min.

+ BEAUTIFUL, PAINFULLY REALISTIC - WHILE BELIEVABLE, NOT ENTIRELY RELATABLE
The fragility of aging relationships takes center stage in The Commune, a tense vision of 1970’s Denmark that manages to tell an honestly painful love story through unconventional yet believable means. Erik (an entirely unlikable Ulrich Thomsen) is a stuffy architecture professor who seems quick to anger and altogether unsuited for communal life. But when he inherits his sprawling childhood home after his father’s death, Erik’s wife Anna (Trine Dryholm of 2012’s A Royal Affair) convinces him to embrace the ideals of the then-burgeoning concept, though it ultimately becomes their downfall in director Thomas Vinterberg’s (2012’s The Hunt) loosely-based retelling of his own childhood growing up in a commune of his own. Erik wants to ditch the house for the money, but Anna, fearing the doldrums of a 15-year marriage, views the inheritance as an opportunity for growth. Old friends, flighty hippies and young couples join forces with Erik and Anna, and a family unit begins to form. But when Erik begins an affair with a young

Will people do the worst things when given enough rope and does idealism or misguided belief in others goeth before a fall?

- IT’S JUST A PRETTY BAD MOVIE
Final Destination scribe Jeffrey Reddick returns to his horror roots with 2016’s Dead Awake, a wildly mediocre look at laughably archaic explanations surrounding sleep paralysis played out in the modern day. Many suffer from the real-life condition, which finds them unable to move upon waking; at some point in history, people decided that, obviously, demons and/or hags were sitting on their chests, probably choking them to death. Turns out it’s real—so long as you believe—and young Kate is one such believer. A recovering CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

addict (played by Jocelin Donahue, whom we promise you don’t know), Kate keeps a detailed dream journal of her experiences with the sleep demon/hag. She reaches out for help, but no one believes her because, y’know, apparently addicts don’t deserve compassion. Even her twin sister Beth (also played by Donahue) and man-bunned, hipster-artist boyfriend (Jesse Bradford) won’t take her side, and after Tank Girl herself (Lori Petty) makes an appearance as some heartless sleep doctor who just won’t heed the warning signs because she’s a medical doctor and c’mon already, it’s generally agreed that Kate is probably just hallucinating. But, of course, she’s not, and the demon starts visiting basically anyone and everyone it can. Fueled by the evil version of faith, it kills people because it likes to, or something … it’s never made clear, and the vast majority of Dead Awake finds Donahue making “I’m scared!” faces and trying to stay awake like some boring version of Nightmare on Elm Street, while various no-name over-actors enter her orbit just long enough to be bad at movies. Unless your name is Guillermo del Toro and you’ve worked out how to design terrifying monsters worth seeing onscreen, the concept of less-is-more should be the ultimate rule in certain types of horror films. Nothing is scarier than the thing you haven’t seen yet, and the more Dead Awake wears on, the less scary it becomes. In fact, we kinda started rooting for the demon.

+ HEAVY ON THE INTRIGUE AND
BULLSHITTERY - DRAGS FOR NEARLY TWO HOURS
Norman Oppenheimer might have the same last name as SantaFamous philanthropists and the guy who gets the credit for facilitating the atomic bomb up there in Los Alamos, but his life apparently had fewer headline accomplishments. That’s not to say that this ass-kissy and handsy fellow, part stalker and part detective, has not accomplished plenty. He spends all day cold-calling, hot-calling and otherwise pestering a smattering of his vast network of his New York Jewish friends to trade favors in this film originally subtitled the muchmore-descriptive The Moderate Rise and Tragic Fall of a New York Fixer. Richard Gere (The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) sheds any hint of his heartthrob calling card to don the role of not just a pathetic schmooze, but a pained loner who is either

says) with nefarious intentions, and the Guardians must step in to set him straight. Of course, the two-pronged approach of slapstick antics and absolutely killer soundtrack are the real draw here, but Guardians also manages to drive home some fairly heavy material on the topics of family drama, friendship and, almost surprisingly, love—though never in a way as silly as the overarching plot would lead us to believe. There are, in fact, some downright moving scenes shared between Quill and his sorta-kinda adoptive father Yondu (an exceedingly fun Michael Rooker). And all the while, great tunes from the likes of Looking Glass, Cat Stevens and ELO blare through the speakers through firefights and space battles, gravity-defying PacMan references and, gleefully, the reveal of the fate of one Howard the Duck. Writer and director James Gunn absolutely nails the tone, and even when things become borderline too-serious, he knows just how to pull it out and make us laugh. Throw in excitingyet-brief appearances from heavyweights like Michelle Yeoh and Sylvester Stallone, and we’ve got what may be the perfect summer movie; the opening dance sequence alone is worth the price of admission. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 136 min.
HOUNDS OF LOVE really good at making connections or really bad at it. He’s pushy when he needs to be, quiet and captivating when he needs that instead—yet Oppenheimer’s matchmaking is still flawed. When he befriends a rising star in the Israeli political sphere (a chiseled and poised delivery from Lior Ashkenazi), the protagonist in this affair ends up in over his head. His first clue is the impulsive retail therapy for his mark: a pair of shoes worth more than $1,000. But the bluffer and bullshit artist is undeterred. Prepare to spend lots of time listening to the lyrical sounds of Hebrew and reading the English subtitles, a respectable choice for a time when Americans don’t want to feel at the center of it all (and for a film shot half in Tel Aviv). Notable in a supporting role is the plainfaced investigator Alex, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, who effectively channels every woman everywhere who has ended up on public transit next to a man who feels entitled to conversation. It’s never clear how Oppenheimer makes a living, and she’s quick to get on the case. Is he a delusional name-dropper or a victimized mensch? That one might be for history to sort
out, too. (Julie Ann Grimm) Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 118 min.

In a sea of ultra-serious films based on comic books, melodrama fatigue becomes a serious concern. Thank goodness then for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, another excellent outing for the lesser-known Marvel heroes and one of the most incredibly fun franchises currently hitting theaters. Once again, we join Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) and Groot (now in baby form but still voiced by Vin Diesel) as they unwittingly get swept up into the collective role of galactic saviors. When Quill’s father Ego (an excellent Kurt Russell) finally tracks him down after 30-plus years of searching, the humorous hero learns of his origins and—get this—they are dubious. Turns out his dad’s a god (“With a little ‘g,’” Ego

UNSETTLING
- GRATUITOUS SEXUAL VIOLENCE
Whispered horror stories about what happens when angsty teen girls get into cars with strangers become harrowing, vivid screams in this Australian work of fiction. While a long setup with extreme closeups of ordinary actions and mundane objects coming in and out of focus sets the suspenseful scene, Hounds of Love quickly moves into a nailbitter that had us looking away more than once. There’s a sickly electric energy between partners Evelyn (Emma Booth of Gods of Egypt) and John (Stephen Curry of a bunch of Aussie television shows you’ve never heard of), and it’s just a touchstone for their shared penchant to capture and torture young women on the suburban streets. Evelyn’s disarming charm puts the girls at ease—the last time they’ll ever feel that way. We’re more than squeamish about the way the story gratuitously rolls around in all the stereotypes of rape culture. The teen victims wear short shorts and school uniform skirts. John is a skinny pervy-looking guy with a mustache. Evelyn’s a mousy, pained soul with CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

a need for power. The presentation is graphic enough to burn into memory even after the credits are over. That squinty stare into a dark, dark realm is intended to be unsettling—and it accomplishes that goal. Young Saudi-born actress Ashleigh Cummings won an award at the Venice International Film Festival last September for her portrayal of teenaged Vicki, and it’s a well-deserved accolade, as she’s all in for this challenging part in the piece written and directed by Ben Young. The teen quickly realizes her only chance for survival is to break through to Evelyn—her captor who is, in many ways, a captive herself. Hold your breath for the possibility of a glimmer of empowerment. If the movie poster isn’t enough of a trigger warning, let us warn viewers that the film doesn’t just hint at sexual violence and emotional abuse. Oh, and there’s a dog, too. (JAG) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 108 min.
Through this, Kedi sneakily becomes perhaps more about the humans in the cats’ lives rather than the opposite. A sailor, for instance, who once lost everything but was saved by a cat who led him to a hidden cache of money, spends his days roaming the port feeding feral kittens with a bottle. Elsewhere, a baker forms an unlikely alliance with a cat who unwittingly gives his life meaning beyond his work. In a nearby home packed to the rafters with countless strays, two women cook for and feed dozens of street cats daily. Even those who aren’t in love with these fascinating creatures will find a captivating human story here. And rather than linger on the more cutesy aspects of felines, Kedi instead proves an inspiring treatise on the enriching aspects of animals and a satisfying glimpse into the beauty of the city itself. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, Violet Crown, NR, 80 min.

FOR THE PRICE OF ONE .” – The Hollywood Reporter
+ NOT JUST FOR CAT LOVERS - COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER
The camera moves along the ancient streets of Istanbul, following a particularly adorable orange cat. Diners at streetside cafés hand over treats. Passersby respectfully step around her. Nearby, a clever striped fellow scales a threestory building to visit a human friend in her apartment. At an outdoor flea market across town, young and old cats alike sleep amongst the wares. The camera pans along the port and cranes up over the gorgeous Golden Horn, revealing the massive labyrinth of a city. This is Kedi, a new documentary on the street cats of Istanbul from director Ceyda Torun, and it is awe-inspiring. We follow the seemingly ordinary lives of various cats who live throughout the sprawling Turkish metropolis on the sea. From a rather polite comrade who haunts a deli patio (but is never so rude as to go inside), a beat-up old tabby who rules her perceived turf with an iron paw, a portside puffer who keeps the mouse population under control and beyond, the brief windows into the lives of cats come together to prove one thing: Cats are beloved in Istanbul.

MIND BODY SPIRIT HEART HEALING Rob Brezsny
Week of May 24th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) “Sin” is a puerile concept in my eyes, so I don’t normally use it to discuss grown-up concerns. But if you give me permission to invoke it in a jokey, ironic way, I’ll recommend that you cultivate more surprising, interesting, and original sins. In other words, Aries, it’s high time to get bored with your predictable ways of stirring up a ruckus. Ask God or Life to bring you some really evocative mischief that will show you what you’ve been missing and lead you to your next robust learning experience.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) As long as you keep Syria, South Sudan, and North Korea off your itinerary, traveling would be food for your soul during the next 28 days. It would also be balm for your primal worries and medicine for your outworn dogmas and an antidote for your comfortable illusions. Do you have the time and money necessary to make a pilgrimage to a place you regard as holy? How about a jaunt to a rousing sanctuary? Or an excursion to an exotic refuge that will shock you in friendly, healing ways? I hope that you will at least read a book about the territory that you may one day call your home away from home.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Attention, smart shoppers! Here’s a special spring fling offer! For a limited time only, you can get five cutesy oracles for the price of one! And you don’t have to pay a penny unless they all come true! Check ‘em out! Oracle #1: Should you wait patiently until all the conditions are absolutely perfect? No! Success comes from loving the mess. Oracle #2: Don’t try to stop a sideshow you’re opposed to. Stage a bigger, better show that overwhelms it. Oracle #3: Please, master, don’t be a slave to the things you control. Oracle #4: Unto your own self be true? Yes! Unto your own hype be true? No! Oracle #5: The tortoise will beat the hare as long as the tortoise doesn’t envy or try to emulate the hare. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Generation Kill is an HBO miniseries based on the experiences of a reporter embedded with American Marines fighting in Iraq. Early on, before the troops have been exposed to any serious combat, they’re overflowing with trash talk. A commanding officer scolds them: “Gentlemen, from now on we’re going to have to earn our stories.” Although you are in a much less volatile situation right now, Gemini, my advice to you is the same: In the coming weeks, you’ll have to earn your stories. You can’t afford to talk big unless you’re geared up to act big, too. You shouldn’t make promises and entertain dares and issue challenges unless you’re fully prepared to be a hero. Now here’s my prophecy: I think you will be a hero. CANCER (June 21-July 22) In your mind’s eye, drift back in time to a turning point in your past that didn’t go the way you’d hoped. But don’t dwell on the disappointment. Instead, change the memory. Visualize yourself then and there, but imagine you’re in possession of all the wisdom you have gathered since then. Next, picture an alternative ending to the old story -- a finale in which you manage to pull off a much better result. Bask in this transformed state of mind for five minutes. Repeat the whole exercise at least once a day for the next two weeks. It will generate good medicine that will produce a creative breakthrough no later than mid-June.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) By now I’m sure you have tuned in to the rumblings in your deep self. Should you be concerned? Maybe a little, but I think the more reasonable attitude is curiosity. Even though the shaking is getting stronger and louder, it’s also becoming more melodic. The power that’s being unleashed will almost certainly turn out to be far more curative than destructive. The light it emits may at first look murky but will eventually bloom like a thousand moons. Maintain your sweet poise. Keep the graceful faith. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Life is inviting you to decode riddles about togetherness that could boost your emotional intelligence and earn you the right to enjoy lyrical new expressions of intimacy. Will you accept the invitation? Are you willing to transcend your habitual responses for the sake of your growth-inducing relationships? Are you interested in developing a greater capacity for collaboration and synergy? Would you be open to making a vulnerable fool of yourself if it helped your important alliances to fulfill their dormant potential? Be brave and empathetic, Sagittarius. Be creative and humble and affectionate. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “In youth we feel richer for every new illusion,” wrote author Anne Sophie Swetchine. “In maturer years, for every one we lose.” While that may be generally true, I think that even twenty-something Capricorns are likely to fall into the latter category in the coming weeks. Whatever your age, I foresee you shouting something akin to “Hallelujah!” or “Thank God!” or “Boomshakalaka flashbang!” as you purge disempowering fantasies that have kept you in bondage and naive beliefs that have led you astray.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “There are no green thumbs or black thumbs,” wrote horticulturalist Henry Mitchell in a message you were destined to hear at this LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’re being invited to boost your exact moment. “There are only gardeners and non-gardeners. Gardeners are the ones who get on with the high commitment to life and become a more vivid version of yourself. If you refuse the invitation, it will later return as a defiance of nature herself, creating, in the very face of her chaos and tornado, the bower of roses and the pride challenge. If you avoid that challenge, it will eventually of irises. It sounds very well to garden a ‘natural way.’ circle back around to you as a demand. So I encourage you to respond now, while it’s still an invitation. To gather You may see the natural way in any desert, any swamp, the information you’ll need, ask yourself these questions: any leech-filled laurel hell. Defiance, on the other hand, is what makes gardeners.” Happy Defiance Time to you, What types of self-development are you “saving for later”? Are you harboring any mediocre goals or desires Aquarius! In the coming weeks, I hope you will express that dampen your lust for life? Do you tone down or hold the most determined and disciplined fertility ever! back your ambitions for fear they would hurt or offend PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) I believe it may be the right people you care about? time to tinker with or repair a foundation; to dig down to VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “Dear Dream Doctor: I the bottom of an old resource and consider transforming dreamed that a crowd of people had decided to break it at its roots.
