system that causes accidents and costs us $6.5 million every year; enough to bankrupt the city single-handedly. The city manager insists upon signing away any and all public protection against microwave radiation, and the council unanimously complies. The city continues to use our resources in fighting against our vote nine years ago for ranked-choice voting. And now the council is set to vote to abolish donor disclosures in ballot measures. “This is a complicated one,” says Councilor Carmichael Dominguez. But not because its opposing arguments have equal merit, as one might suppose. The real problem is, the public—nominally, his constituents— wants transparency, while politicians—like him; protecting their careers—curry favor in the bigger-donor community; his real constituents. A conundrum indeed, and a microcosm of American politics.

“There has probably never been a better time to switch to solar.”

— Consumer Reports From tech improvements to environmental benefits to tax incentives, there are so many reasons why this is true. If you’ve been thinking about installing a home system, here are five reasons to act right now:

NEWEST & HOTTEST SLOTS COMING IN DECEMBER! BUFFALOTHUNDERRESORT.COM

#1 - Solar installation costs have fallen dramatically — to half of what they were in 2008 and 100 times less than what they were back in 1978. But don’t keep waiting on the sidelines for further price reductions: many of the recent price cuts have been “soft costs,” including labor costs that are unlikely to decline much further. #2 - The 30% federal tax credit scales down starting in 2019. The federal government is still offering excellent incentives to go solar — but you have to act quickly. In the coming years, tax credits will scale down to 26 percent and then to 22 percent. In addition to tax breaks, there are other excellent options including low-interest financing that are available now. #3 - New Mexico’s “Net Metering” law makes solar a smart investment. Through “net metering,” New Mexico residents can generate their own power and get credit for what they provide to the grid for others to use. This law — in effect now — makes solar incredibly affordable. #4 - Solar technologies are better than ever. As the solar industry has grown and matured, customer satisfaction has reached impressive heights. Leading firms, including SunPower by Positive Energy Solar, are now able to design and install solar energy systems with minimal impact on your home’s appearance. You can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a 25-year power and product warranty. #5 - This is a crucial moment to help protect clean air and water.

As issues including water scarcity, air pollution, and carbon emissions intensify, people are looking for opportunities to live sustainably. Going solar is a simple and effective way to do your part. By eliminating the need for polluting and water-consumptive power plants, solar energy reduces harmful air pollution, saves vital resources, and improves our quality of life.

To start saving with solar, call SunPower by Positive Energy Solar today.

New Mexico’s medical cannabis program is investing in a laboratory of its own

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

T

he coslorful slides look like a kaleidoscope of blinking lights. They’re microbial colonies living on samples of cannabis plants that failed to pass safety standards at Scepter Labs, the only laboratory in Santa Fe certified to run lab tests on cannabis.

Kathleen O’Dea, a microbiologist and the owner of the lab, says looking at the unwanted bacteria on plants gives her a fuller picture of what’s happening in the place where they are grown. This way, she says, she can help the producers “achieve a more sanitary environment so they can pass tests.”

State regulations demand that all cannabis sold to patients in New Mexico pass tests that gauge overall profile, including the potency and composition of cannabinoids and terpenes in a plant, as well as contamination by heavy metals, fungus, bacteria and solvents. The results of these tests are how the cannabis you buy in a dispensary gets its label.

O’Dea says she likes to work with growers to help remediate bad samples once they’re discovered. The state has relied on private labs to test cannabis products for much of the medical cannabis program’s existence, and producers have mostly self-policed when problems with their crops arise. But now, a government cannabis testing facility is in the works, according to documents obtained by SFR. Invoices, emails and other documents from the medical cannabis program indicate that the program, part of the state Department of Health, has spent at least $300,000 since last October on laboratory equipment, consultations and training for staff in order to build the capacity of the State Scientific Laboratory in Albuquerque to test cannabis.

Representatives from the program who earn government salaries refused SFR’s request for an interview, and offered only a vague explanation of their plans for the equipment and training. The purchases were from manufacturers and suppliers of lab equipment such as Tovatech, Thermo Fisher and Agilent.

“The Medical Cannabis Program has relied on the scientific expertise of our Scientific Laboratories personnel to help standardize compliance processes and requirements for approved laboratories,” writes Department of Health spokesman Paul Rhien in an email. “Additionally, the new equipment and training are important steps in establishing a quality assurance lab for the medical cannabis program to help ensure patients have access to safe medicine.”

The timeline of purchases also suggest a continuation of policy in place since the program’s former

manager, Ken Groggel, left last year. Groggel says that he advocated for the idea of an “assurance lab”—a state-run laboratory that could ensure that third-party labs like Scepter were accurately and fairly testing cannabis products—and that the program began moving in that direction around the time he left.

“The reason the [state] assurance lab was deemed so important [is because] it’s like any other emerging

industry; checks and balances need to be in place in order for the regulatory entity to be confident that products being sold to people with qualifying conditions are not only effective but are also safe for consumption,“ Groggel tells SFR in a telephone interview. He now works for Emerald Scientific, a California-based equipment distributor and supplier for the cannabis industry, where he helps conduct lab comparison proficiency tests for cannabis labs nationwide.

The state lab couldn’t replace New Mexico’s four private labs, he says, since the federal funding it receives could be imperiled due to the federal prohibition on cannabis. Instead, the state’s assurance lab is supposed to “conduct ongoing observation [through] their own testing to ensure that the [private] laboratories are performing in a responsible manner.”

This could include the use of a “secret shopper” program, Groggel says, wherein medical cannabis program personnel go to dispensaries without announcing themselves, purchase products, and then test them at the state’s lab to confirm that the labeling on the package is correct.

Department of Health spokesman Rhien denies that the medical cannabis program has plans to carry out a secret shopper program for the time being.

Opinions on the prospect vary among New Mexico’s private labs. Staff at Steep Hill, a national company that has a laboratory in Albuquerque, say that they’ve witnesses disingenuous labeling and testing in other states where they’ve worked, and are supportive of secret shopping.

“If the state doesn’t have the teeth to enforce their own rules, then bad actors prevail and people do things they’re not supposed to,” says Nathan Gilbert, manager for Steep Hill’s Albuquerque lab.

O’Dea of Scepter Labs disagrees.

“I don’t think a fear-based regulatory system works as well as one based on trust and cooperation,” she says. One serious problem with testing the testers is that New Mexico’s cannabis program lacks consistent guidance for how samples should be procured for testing. Variations in testing might not be due to poor testing procedures, but rather because the state’s secret shopper bought a sample that didn’t match the one tested in the lab, she says.

Gilbert agrees that regulations for how labs test samples from growers could be clearer.

“The problem with sampling is really that the producers are in charge of having a protocol to send samples to a lab to be tested,” he says, suggesting that some producers are sending off only the nicest parts of their plants for testing because they yield the highest potency score.

A higher listed potency usually means higher sales, which can create perverse incentives for growers to “shop around” for the lab that gives them a high score. If the cannabis program can figure out a way to standardize the sampling process, a state assurance lab could undermine that kind of trickery, if it exists.

“You have to have somebody that’s at least relatively independent of the grower or manufacturer selecting the samples, and that’s what the intent was when we up the state’s assurance lab,” says Groggel.

Six acres of invasive trees removed from wetland preserve leave it ‘raw for a while’

hen the Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve opens again in the spring, visitors will find a very different landscape. A $20,000 grant from New Mexico State Forestry, through the Santa Fe-Pojoaque Soil and Water Conservation District, allowed a dramatic increase in efforts to remove invasive species over recent weeks. That brought out the chainsaws and herbicide to remove 6.5 acres of Russian olives around the preserve.

“This special cienega had these trees in this spot for 20 years, and when you go in and you take out six acres of trees, it’s gonna look like you got a bad haircut. But hair does grow back,” says Yvonne Hickerson, with the Institute for Applied Ecology, who is the lead for the project and wrote the grant. “The site will look raw for a while.”

Treatment has to include both cutting down trees and applying herbicide to stumps. They’ve used Habitat, which the US Environmental Protection Agency has approved for use near water. The preserve is closed to the public until May. Unless visitors hawkishly watched the posters displayed at the wetland this summer, or attended classes on native and

non-native species removal the Santa Fe Botanical Gardens coordinated last year, the project is likely a surprise. Letters mailed to about 25 area homes warned that the sound of saws would be pealing from the preserve for a couple weeks.

“We anticipated there being quite a bit of resistance,” she says. “To be honest, our talks were poorly attended.”

The few docents who did come were supportive of the project. Mollie Parsons, education director for the botanical gardens, which manages the preserve located off I-25 near Las Golondrinas, echoed that the people who did attend sessions, which she says were advertised in newsletters and local media, were excited about the project.

“I think people understand that we live in a really delicate ecosystem and whatever we can do to protect it is really important,” she says.

The intervention aims to save the cienega. Recent years have seen its moisture-loving plants, like checker mallow and milkweed, heading further downstream as the upper reaches dry out. Area monitoring wells that are part of a state hydrology study have shown the water table dropping each spring.

“When the trees leaf out, the water level drops four feet,” says Scott Canning, director of horticulture for the botanical gardens. “Cienegas are one of the rarest kinds of landscapes in New Mexico, so we’re doing everything we can to save it.”

Those who have grown to love the trees’ shade face tough news: The cover won’t return. In a cienega, a spring feeds a marshy meadow of native grasses and wildflowers. Those sun-loving plants won’t grow with trees overhead.

There will be impacts to bird and wildlife species that now use those trees and their fruit, Canning says, but he points to the remaining 2 acres of Russian olives on the preserve, and the areas nearby where Russian olive still thrives. The Asia na-

tive, brought in as a windbreak and ornamental addition to gardens, escaped into the wild a century ago. It has dull gray or green elongated leaves, yellow blooms in spring, and fruits from August to October that turn red as they mature. It’s listed as a noxious weed in New Mexico and is among those invasive species prone to crowding out natives, like cottonwoods and willows.

Much of that dense, woody cover will ideally be kept at a distance from the cienega, Canning says. The cottonwoods can stay at the periphery of the preserve.

The remaining Russian olives cluster around to shade the teaching and picnic areas, at least for now.

“Most natural cienega-type situations, you might see a few scattered cottonwoods, but wouldn’t see a forest like we’ve seen out in the Leonora Curtin,” says Bob

Sivinski, a former botanist for the New Mexico Forestry Department who has advised the botanical gardens on the project.

“It was such a thicket, and you couldn’t even see the cienega for most of the trail because you’re just walking through a tunnel of Russian olives.”

He draws attention to the disappearances of cienegas all over the state as city and agricultural wells drain the aquifers that supply their springs.

Eventually, native shrubs like New Mexican olives and three-leaf sumacs will come back, and wildflowers like knotty sunflower, New England aster, marsh vervain and New Mexico guara will spread.

The only spot that the species of guara is found between the Sacramento Mountains in southern New Mexico and the southern Rocky Mountains near Durango is the Leonora Curtin Wetland Preserve.

All of those species were at risk of dying off as the cienega dried out, he says.

“People that like the shade and like the forest are possibly going to be upset with what we did out there,” he says.

“What’s going to benefit from this is the wetland.”

Appealing Decision Santa Fe will continue to fight the ranked-choice voting charter amendment nearly a decade after voters approved it

on language in the amendment that let Santa Fe put off using the new voting system until it was affordable and available.

“I’m just really disappointed and really surprised,” said a dejected Craig O’Hare, one of the citizens who brought the case against the city. “I thought the council would look at the judge’s decision and realize it was a sound decision. … I’m just kind of baffled why the city wants to put more legal resources into fighting the will of the people.”

The council and the mayor trumpeted their unanimous decision to move forward with the new system, but the reality is that they had little choice. A rule cited by state District Court Judge David Thomson makes it virtually impossible for the city to ignore his order while it appeals. So even as they plan to fight, officials must get ready to rank.

The mayor’s usage of the term “vote” to reflect the consensus of the council from its closed-door executive session raised questions about whether any secret votes complied with New Mexico’s Open Meetings Act. City Attorney Kelley Brennan tells SFR that the mayor misspoke about what happened behind closed doors. It’s not

the gears of a ranked-choice voting election come together. For example, how many choices will voters get?

The charter amendment says the city must use a “voting system allowing voters to rank in order of their preference the candidates for each office appearing on the ballot.”

Attorney Teresa Leger de Fernandez, who successfully argued for the writ that forced the city’s hand, says the absence of limiting language in that phrase means the city has to give the voter the option to rank as many places as there are candidates.

Brennan says the city is expected to announce two proposed ordinances laying out the process for a ranked-choice election on Wednesday. Because the ordinances won’t go through the city’s normal committee structure, councilors could vote as soon as the full council meeting on Dec. 20.

In the meantime, candidates have to officially declare on Dec. 6 and ballot order is set to be determined the next day.

They also have to figure out how to campaign.

“I think it does make a difference,” councilor and mayoral candidate Joseph Maestas tells SFR. He thinks there’s a greater emphasis on retail politicking— shaking hands and knocking on doors.

Sending volunteers to hang a card on a doorknob just won’t cut it, he theorizes.

“You may not be everyone’s number one choice. But now, if I hear that someone is committed to, say, Alan Webber, I have to ask them if they’d consider me as their second choice.”

While he’s not publicly sharing his ranked-choice strategy, Maestas has one.

Whether it makes sense to unveil it and start campaigning in earnest is a question he and the roughly dozen candidates for mayor and City Council will answer in the coming weeks.

THRICE Just about a month ago, we told you all about the debut solo efforts of one Johnny Bell (Music, Nov. 7: “Saved by The Bell“) who had formed a pretty stellar band called The Visitors to help progress the musical place of the banjo quite nicely with a self-titled EP. At the time, Bell said they probably wouldn’t play very often, so mark your calendars immediately for the official album release party. The Visitors are joined by none other than Luke Carr and Leticia Gonzales—fantastic solo musicians in their own rights—in the picturesque and acoustically mind-blowing San Miguel Chapel.

MUSIC TUE/12 HOLIDAZED Look, we get it—this time of year becomes musically kinda crazy, right? They’ve been pushing out Christmas songs on the radio for weeks, and it seems to get worse every year. But something always seems to happen the further we get into December; the once-annoying songs seem right, the weather catches up with the time of year and some holiday spirit kicks in. Enter Schola Cantorum of Santa Fe’s Christmas Concert, one of the most Christmassy things one can do and a fantastic a cappella reminder that these songs are deeply ingrained. We also hear that in addition to non-Christmas hits like “Ave Maria” and “Auld Lang Syne,” the group has a few tricks up its collective sleeve. Only one way to find out what they might be. They sing a few more times this year, too (Dec. 17, 19 and 29), so keep an eye out. (ADV) Schola Christmas Concert: 6:30 pm Tuesday Dec. 12. $15-$20. Loretto Chapel, 207 Old Santa Fe Trail, 982-0092

Drinking Age Behold what’s possible when you just do your job for two-plus decades When Second Street Brewery opened its original location at 1814 Second St. on Dec. 4, 1996, it offered just three beers.

“We added an IPA a month later,” president and brewmaster Rod Tweet says.

“Our mode was always slow and steady growth.”

Cut to now, 21 years later, and Tweet and company have created over 200 recipes, opened two other wildly popular locations in town and, as of this weekend, the business itself is finally old enough to drink. “The 20-year anniversary was kind of a big one for us,” Tweet explains, “but we got so caught up opening the Rufina Taproom that we decided to focus on our 21st anniversary—21 has a nice ring to it.”

Tweet has big plans for the upcoming year, too, from inviting new groups to use the Rufina location, a wider variety of music and food and, he says, expansion into the world of wholesale. “By the beginning of the first quarter of 2018, you can expect to see draughts in more places around town, and by the end of that first quarter, new six-pack cans, which will be an IPA,” he tells SFR. “And then we’ll take it from there.”

Tweet also says that he and his brewers have spent time digging back through the archives for recipes Second Street hasn’t served in some time. “We solicited input from the brewers and staff, and

there will be 21 beer recipes this year that aren’t part of the regular rotation,” he says. “Throughout the year, these beers will be all over the map with everything from a maibock we haven’t done in eight or nine years, and wheat beers, some barley wine—it’s a pretty long list.”

Tweet also says that Rufina Taproom manager Mariah Scree is organizing a weekly Sunday night gathering for service industry folk, complete with beer discounts and more unannounced goodness.

As for this Saturday’s celebrations at the brewery’s original location, beer, food and music fans can look forward to the beers they know and love (plus some surprises), music from former Second Street Railyard open mic host Ben Wright (of D Numbers) and Norteño trio Lone Piñon, plus a specially designed menu from longtime chef Milton Villarubia III. “It’s like the cliche—time flies,” Tweet muses. “I can’t believe it’s been 21 years, because it’s just gone by so fast; how did this happen? I just kept coming in to work.” (Alex De Vore) SECOND STREET BREWERY’S 21ST ANNIVERSARY PARTY 5 pm Saturday Dec. 9. Free.

MUSIC ALEX DE VORE

15 Years of Electrovibe Events 15 POINTS WITH ISAIAH RODRIGUEZ

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

I

n my mind, local DJ and promoter Isaiah Rodriguez is a metal guy, partly because of a crazy drunken night when we first met and bonded over a mutual love of Celtic Frost. But I digress. Rodriquez’s real work (as it were) has generally been in promotions through imprints such as Ornery Bull, Dead Dub Society and Electrovibe Events, the latter of which turns 15 years old this month.

Rodriguez is celebrating with a show and benefit for St. Elizabeth Shelter and Supportive Housing dubbed the Silver and Gold Masquerade Ball, so I caught up with him to talk about his last 15 years and what to expect from the big night.

Where’d you start out as a DJ? Little Rock, Arkansas. I started off as a touring DJ—went by Forum, the Greek word for gathering—and started picking promoters’ heads, knowing I wanted to [promote].

1

Why promoting?

Just a love of music. It’s pretty simple.

2

When was your first show that you booked yourself ?

December 2002 in Ardmore, Oklahoma.

It’s kind of like this midpoint town an hour and a half north of Dallas and an hour and a half south of Oklahoma City.

Everybody wanted to play there.

3

year, 2002, was kind of 4 That the tail end of a certain type of rave scene.

It was. At least for what I knew it as. But

I’d been in the scene since ’95 and I’ve still seen it change a lot.

Was it weird being on the other side of shows—promoting instead of DJing?

Absolutely not. I mean, there was more stress, but everything was still familiar.

If you DJ for awhile, you just know how things operate.

5

long have you been in 6 How Santa Fe now?

Ten years in August. I came out for Santa Fe Music Fest [author’s note: Santa Fe Music Fest was this big show a long time ago that probably not a whole lot of people remember] and booked a lot of the artists for that in the electronic genres. I was living in Dallas, came out to play, and ended up loving it and staying here.

But you didn’t just stick with electronic acts when it came to promotion, right?

Naw. I’ve done country, rock, metal, dub, drum and bass … Electrovibe is just for the electronic kinds of music.

7

you still DJ yourself ?

8 Do Oh yeah. I’ll be playing at the show just as Isaiah.

What’s your sound like these days?

Man, I’m not really genre-specific. I play with the format of parties. I never plan sets, I just bring in a bunch of stuff I think will work. For this specific party, I’m gearing more toward Chicago house, old-school house. You’ll have your jazz elements. Some tribal house, which has African elements and beats. Tech-house, a fusion of techno and house.

9

10

So you do a lot. It’s kind of most important for a DJ to read the

room.

It’s like a final step. You get your phrasing down, your engineering down, you read the crowd.

Like curating a feeling or a 11 story?

I’ve noticed a lot of the heavy-hitters today just play floor-fillers; it’s all bangers all night and in your face. I do want to be telling a story.

12

Do you think it’s cool that almost anyone can be a DJ

now?

I don’t find it that cool at all. To me, it takes away the art of being a DJ when you’re able to just open a laptop and press ‘sync.’ Literally anyone can do that.

When you started, was it with vinyl?

It was. It’s important. I think if you want to be a DJ, as with learning any music, you want to know the roots of it. The turntable was your instrument, like playing the guitar. Being able to learn to read the vinyl, listen with your ear, alter your phrasing and beats. I don’t have a problem with [DJing software], but I think it should be the last step of the process. If you can go through years learning—and it literally was years for me—and sucking for awhile. … If you can stick with that, go through that process, you graduate to different and better things.

13

Does that big 15 feel good? Does it feel shitty?

I’m surprised I’ve stuck with it for so long.

There are times when you get frustrated, especially in Santa Fe. The support here is so hard to put your finger on—I’ve had shitty nights in the summertime and sold out in January. I come from Dallas where it didn’t matter what day you threw a show, you were gonna be packed.

14

So then what’ll your big 15thyear show be like?

It’s a benefit for St. Elizabeth Shelter, the sixth I’ve done with them, and I encourage people to bring winter clothes, jackets, unwrapped toys. I have a soft spot for them, they’re one of my favorite organizations in town. If I can do anything for the cause I will. We’ll have Lea Luna from Denver doing a throwback set—like pop, but not bubblegum pop; Billiam, who does tech-house; Justin and Jonathan Ray doing a back-to-back house set; I’m DJing, plus this guy from Albuquerque called Otto-Matic, who was there at my first show in Oklahoma in 2002 doing a warmup set. It’ll be a house-heavy night.

String of Lights holiday market puts the ‘art’ into ‘artisanal’

BY ALICIA INEZ GUZMÁN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Quail Studio (quailstudio.co) has honed the art of reusing scrap material, namely felt off-cuts, to forge structural bowls and bags that build on all the best traits of wool. Their process of using pre-consumer manufacturing waste is sustainable and makes for minimalist-friendly objects.

Maker of one-of-a-kind silkscreened T-shirts and bandanas David Sloan (a

BRIGITTE TOHM

f you’ve kept up with the AHA (After Hours Alliance) Festival of Progressive Arts on social media, you may have noticed that String of Lights: A Holiday Market is getting into gear. And if you haven’t, here’s your chance to be in the know.

Last year, AHA introduced its annual holiday show at the Farmers Market Pavilion, maintaining the same DIY vibe that the Progressive Arts Fair (held in the Railyard) and the Art of the Machine (in the Rufina-Siler Nexus) both share. There’s something a bit punk about it all; an approach to making, viewing and sharing that pries open the usual boxes where art resides in this city. String of Lights is hosted by Ginger Dunnill and Lisa Evans of the AHA Festival of Progressive Arts team.

Originally founded to enable those outside Santa Fe’s market system to offer their creations to the public, AHA has become a staple of a different kind of scene—one not defined by generating an organizational bottom line. Rather, the philosophy is about “highlighting and centering young, emerging artists as well as elders and oldschool New Mexican makers” in an inclusive environment where they can sell their wares, in the words of Dunnill. That said, you can expect String of Lights to be pretty much be like a big party, brimming with food, drink, art and DJ-style cheesy Christmas tunes. What more can we ask for?

In total, 60 vendors line the interior of the pavilion—that’s roughly 10 more than last year—with apothecary products, tinctures and teas, woodwork, ceramics, quilts, jewelry, succulents, clothing and much more for those on the hunt for a perfect gift to self and others.

For anyone excited about the fermentation business, Mudslide Stoneware (mudslidestoneware.com) has a host of functional vessels for kombucha and pickling needs, not to mention other kitchen necessities, including mortar and pestles, mugs and bowls.

A&C

former artist-in-residence at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts) will be on his A-game, as always, offering intricate designs that cross the color spectrum, all with a political twist.

Silver City/Madrid’s Power and Light Press (powerandlightpress.com), “fueled by a fleet of all-female letterpress operators with clean hands and filthy mouths,” as they say about themselves

on their site, will be ready to sell a host of cards and other goods made completely in-house. They all bear messages—witty and hilariously off-color— that only a girl gang could think up.

Conscientious designer Aviva Baumann, whose line Twig (twig.works) boasts earrings that are easy on the eyes and made from recycled and salvaged wood, is also in the mix.

Other vendors include Mujeres de Adelante, Ocotillo Herbals and Devon Walsh Lang, Santa Fe Hemp, Izzy Squared Productions and many more. Keep in mind that vendors attempt to keep their price points at $100 and below, though undoubtedly some gift items will come in a bit higher. Tasty bites from Betterday Dine-In, Cheesemongers of Santa Fe and Patrick’s Fine Foods also complement beverage offerings from Santa Fe Spirits and Second Street Brewery.

Also be on the lookout for an amazing, bizarre and special appearance by that Perchtenlauf staple, the goat demon himself, Krampus, played by artist Cannupa Hanska Luger. Luger will be cruising the pavilion in a costume that is nothing less than a combo-deluxe of ceramic and felt (think, here, of his intricate sculptures of the same materials) ready to take selfies and talk history. He’ll be spreading the good news of Krampus, an oft-misunderstood figure of Norse mythology.

Last year, String of Lights was a packed house with some vendors selling out completely, and this year will likely be the same. So get there early if you want in on a holiday buying experience that has proven to be the total opposite of (dare I say) Black Friday.

I used to be a fan of your column, Dan, but something happened to you. Maybe it’s stress, the current political climate, or some other issue—I don’t know. I used to look forward to your columns because they were fun, smart, and helpful—but I don’t enjoy what I’m seeing now.

If something did happen to you, reach out for help. You’re on the verge of losing a loyal reader.

-Reader Enquiring About Dan’s Enervating Responses I’ve been getting letters like yours—what happened to you, Dan, you used to be more fun— at this time of year, every year, for the last 25 years, READER. Maybe I get moody when the weather gets gloomy and that spills into my column annually. And perhaps the current political climate—a rather reserved way to describe the destruction of our democracy—is making my seasonal grumping worse. Another possible factor…

I don’t know how long you’ve been reading, READER, but I’ve been writing this column for a long time. And back before the internet came along and ruined everything for everyone, I used to get a lot of how-to/what’s-that questions about sex acts and sex toys. A column explaining butt plugs to readers who knew nothing about them—and lacked easy access to butt plug info—was as much fun to read as it was to write. But every sex act and every sex toy has its own Wiki page now, which means I don’t get to write fun columns about butt plugs anymore, READER, and you don’t get to read them. Now the questions all revolve around someone being deeply shitty or someone deluding themselves about how deeply shitty they’re being. Columns filled with questions about and from people behaving badly are never going to be as delightsome as those butt plug columns of yore.

But thank you for writing in to share your concern, READER, and rest assured that nothing truly terrible has happened to me—besides Trump, of course, but Trump happened to all of us, not just me. Still, I don’t want to lose you as a reader, so I’m going to make an effort to sunny things up a bit over the next few weeks.

Okay! Let’s see what else came in the mail today! Hopefully something fun!

My significant other and I rarely have sex. A while ago, I had a sexual encounter with her daughter. We continued to have sexual encounters for some time. Now my significant other and I may be getting married. Her daughter and I broke it off, but it started up again after a week. I am attempting to break things off with my significant other’s daughter again, but I’m having a hard time. Please advise.

-Restraining Urges Is Necessary Ugh. Do you see what I mean, READER? It’s hard to come through with jokes, erudition, and uplift when you’re responding to questions like this one.

Okay, RUIN. Marrying a woman whose adult daughter you can’t keep your dick out of… yeah, that’s a bad idea. (And her daughter is an adult, right?!? You’re not Roy Moore’ing it, are you?)

Sooner or later, your significant other is going to discover what’s been going on, and your relationship with both of these women will be destroyed. You’ll be able to move out and move on, RUIN, but your former significant other isn’t going to be so lucky. Because while you won’t always be her SO, and hopefully won’t ever be her husband, her daughter is always going to be her child. So while you may get out from this relationship with some light scarring, your ex and her daughter will be left with open, gaping wounds for the rest of their lives. My advice: Pull up your pants, cancel the wedding, and get as far away from your SO and her daughter as possible.

I’m a middle-aged married dude. Sex life with my wife is good, but I also masturbate because, you know, I’m a person. Sometimes I masturbate while surfing through pictures on Facebook of attractive women I know. These aren’t stolen nudes off of someone’s phone; they’re public pictures. I’m progressive when it comes to politics and gender issues. Face-to-face, I’m respectful and would never do anything to make these women—or any other woman—feel uncomfortable. I don’t leer, and I’m not a creeper. I know what I’m doing is pervy, but is it pervy bad? Am I crossing a line?

-Peering Is Creepy, Sometimes This one’s a little better, READER. It’s a little squicky, sure, but it’s not boil-your-eyes-afterreading squicky.

Okay, PICS. Masturbating to someone is fine; masturbating at someone is not. (To be clear: Masturbating to thoughts of someone without their knowledge is fine; masturbating at someone who does not wish to be masturbated at is not.) Our erotic imaginations are free to roam—and that includes roaming through Facebook. No one needs our permission to fantasize about us or anything else, and we can’t control when, where, and how the pics we share on social media will be enjoyed. Provided you aren’t doing or saying anything to make your Facebook “friends” uncomfortable (no supposedly-friendly-but-transparently-thirsty comments, no tongue-hanging-out emojis), you’re doing something no one wants to think about, PICS, but you’re not crossing a line.

A couple of weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were engaging in mutual masturbation when she squirted all over my hand—a large amount— and she was completely mortified. It was the first time it happened for her, and it’s happened several times since. She is upset. I’ve been with a couple of other women in the past who squirted, and I am absolutely fine with it. I love it, in fact! I did my absolute best to reassure her that I think it’s great and there’s nothing to be ashamed of, but she’s really embarrassed every time. The last time, she was close to tears with fears that she’d urinated. My question: There’s so much great writing about female ejaculation around, but rather than bombard my GF—who is the most amazing, incredible person—with links to article upon article, how can I help her feel okay about this?

-Sincere Questioner Understands It’s Really Terrific This one’s pretty good, READER. It’s an oldschool, pre-internet Savage Love question. Sexy and playful—charming, even.

Okay, SQUIRT. You can help her feel okay about this by continuing to use your words (“I love this, it’s so hot!”), by sharing those articles with her (she needs to hear from and about other women with her superpower, not just from her boyfriend), and by lapping that shit up. Swallow, SQUIRT. And so what if it is piss?

(And many argue it isn’t.) Piss isn’t sterile, as Mike Pesca took time out of his day to explain to me on the Savage Lovecast back when alleged human being Donald Trump’s alleged pee tape was all over the news. (Goddammit. Our current political climate snuck up on me. Sorry about that, READER.) There are a lot more bacteria and whatever else in saliva, and we dump spit into each other’s mouths like it’s maple fucking syrup. If you guys are swapping other fluids regularly, why not swap a little of this one, too?

And remember: It’s only been two weeks—it may take her some time to learn to love her new superpower. Maybe watch some X-Men movies (it’s a superpower, not a mutation!), and keep being upbeat and positive about the way your girlfriend’s body works. Good luck!

with Mary Rives

COURTESY KEITH CARLSON

Former social worker and current life coach Mary Rives, certified by local performer and coach Tanya Taylor Rubinstein’s Global School of Story, conceived of The #MeToo Monologues, spurred on by the hashtag created

by Tarana Burke for women to share their experiences of sexual assault and harassment. The event goes down in a dozen cities across America this week, and Santa Fe’s iteration is Monday Dec. 11 at Teatro Paraguas (7 pm. $10 donation. 3205 Calle Marie, 424-1601). The monologues, from a deliberately diverse group of people, have been coached by Rives and fellow Global School of Story grad Marsha Pincus; after the monologues, audience participants are invited to write and read their own stories.

Proceeds from the Santa Fe performance benefit Solace Crisis Treatment Center. (Charlotte Jusinski) Women are speaking out in droves—but many people, including our own president, call them liars.

What’s your reaction?

The nauseating denial is so invalidating. But it’s like we’re going from invalidation to utter validation.

You’re not gonna invalidate me, you’re not gonna erase me, you’re not gonna silence me. We’re moving forward, we’re telling our stories. There is no turning back. We are validating ourselves and each other.

A Sensory Soirée of Anonymous Sin Mask up and join your fellow secret sinners for an evening of endless possibilities amid the doors of perception. ♥ Uninhibited music ♥ Sexy cocktails s♥ Kinky demonstrations s♥ Erotic performances s♥ Sinful hors d'oeuvres

Is this a political issue?

Yes. But go back to the first wave of feminism—what if the personal is the political? That whole construct.

I think it’s not black and white. Political versus what?

Anything that impacts society or the workplace, it all comes down to politics. And human behavior—‘Make America great again?’ Make America civil again, or kind again. This lack of civility and human decency is not to be tolerated. Let’s make reparations to everyone we need to make reparations to in good conscience and faith.

What is your overarching emotion right now?

The first thing that comes to me is is exhilarating.

I’m exhilarated by the vast expanse of potential here, of this crystallizing moment in our history. And then other times, the more we learn, the more horrific it is, the extent of this—so it’s devastating. Devastating and exhilarating. … The patriarchy is crumbling. That’s what I like to think. All these crusty institutions that have gotten away with treating women like this.

These days are coming to an end. They have to come to an end. And we’re going to make sure they do.

Piccolino Growing up in New Jersey, the “redsauce joint” was ubiquitous. It was where we went for lunch on a work day, dinner with a new sweetheart on a Friday night or a time to finally unwind with the family after a wedding or funeral. Spaghetti, pizza, tables pushed together to fit everyone, garlic bread with cheese and laughter rocking from every wall—the perfect recipe for comfort and sustenance. Piccolino is Santa Fe’s answer for those missing the red-sauce joints of their childhood.

Highbrow Italian food this is not; the quantities are hearty, the preparation is simple and robust, and no one will judge you if you lick your fingers. There are all the basics (a $6.99 Caesar salad,

the best fried mozzarella around for $5.25, pizza, sandwiches, lasagna, ravioli, manicotti and our personal favorite: chicken parmesan with veggies and pasta for $12.50). But they are aware of their geographic location, so don’t miss the pasta bolloco with chicken, Alfredo and green chile (also $12.50).

If you want to bring your chicken parm back to your own couch, a drive-thru is available for orders called in ahead of time—but we’d argue that the restaurant itself is enough like home. (Charlotte Jusinski) 2890 Agua Fría St., 471-1480 Lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday piccolinosantafe.com

+ FASCINATING

It would be nice to think we’ve matured beyond liking things from a strictly ironic standpoint, but when it comes to the 2003 independent movie The Room, one can’t help but be drawn into how utterly, mind-bogglingly, almost unbelievably bad it is—to paraphrase Ghost World, it’s so bad it goes past bad and back around to good.

James Franco (Freaks and Geeks) knows this, too, and with the help of his brother, Dave Franco (Now You See Me), Freaks alum Seth Rogen and a veritable who’s-who of comedic character actors (Paul Scheer, Hannibal Buress and Jason Mantzoukas, to name a few), he delves into the bizarre world of its writer, producer, director and star, Tommy Wiseau, and his longtime friend Greg Sestero.

In the late-’90s, Wiseau and Sestero set out to make names for themselves as actors. But after years or rejection, they chose to mount their own film about betrayal, alleyway football and definitely having breast cancer. Despite their best efforts and Wiseau’s vision, however, it was complete garbage—an amalgam of failed stabs at old Hollywood tropes and a shocking lack of knowhow on Wiseau’s part. Still, The Room achieved

8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

AND VERY FUNNY - PACING MOVES TOO QUICKLY, MAKING THE PASSAGE OF TIME CONFUSING

a sort of cult status to the point it’s still played and talked about more than a decade later. That’s staying power.

James Franco tackles Wiseau (not to mention directing duties) who, true to life, is mysterious and bizarre beyond all reason. With a heavy pan-Slavic accent, he’s clearly from some Eastern European country, but refuses to admit it. In fact, to this day no one is sure where the hell he comes from, nor is anyone sure how old he is or from where he made his seemingly endless amounts of money. It’s estimated that The Room cost over $6 million to produce; for perspective, Jordan Peele’s horror masterpiece from earlier this year, Get Out, ran somewhere around $4 million. But thank goodness Wiseau stuck it out, because The Room is a gift for Mystery Science Theater 3000 fans, cheesy cinema buffs or even just those who enjoy a good train wreck.

In The Disaster Artist, the Franco brothers

seem to revel in this; though, rather than leer at its shortcomings, they humanize its characters.

It’s easy to make fun of Wiseau, when the reality is that he is a massively insecure man with impossible dreams of stardom. The same goes for Sestero, whom the younger Franco absolutely nails as a would-be star trapped between wanting to make it and wanting to do right by his friend.

That’s the real upside of The Disaster Artist, and the making of The Room itself plays support to the evolving relationship of its two central players. Both Francos surprise with nuanced performances as well, making us feel like we’re part of something that may have been the worst, but came from a place of artistic purity.

- EVERY PAINFULLY BAD SECOND

Filmmaker Mickey Keating should be legally obligated to have the word “student” forever preface any credits he may have, as the quality of his newest horror “movie” reaches about that quality. Maybe even worse. See, Keating is a guy who clearly has watched the works of Tarantino and Rodriguez and Roth, though whether through lack of funding, vision or ability, he fails to even approach their standards—and we’re not even what you’d call Tarantino fans.

In Keating’s Psychopaths, we follow various serial killers on the night of real-life murderer Charles Starkweather’s execution who are spurred to kill by … some cryptic thing that Starkweather said, maybe? … Of course, his death actually went down in the 1950s, and Keating’s film takes place who-knows-when.

Cars are modern, some costumes might be from the ’40s, dialogue is straight stupid. And each killer’s journey, as it were, plays out in overlapping vignette form, though rather than tie each story together in any meaningful way, this tack mostly causes confusion. They’re linked by the end, though we never know why

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

just a few questions raised that don’t really get answered, but someplace between the stabbings that occur just offscreen (cheaper that way, probably), the musical number (not kidding) and the overly dramatic de-masking of a killer who turns out to be some fucking dude we’ve never seen before, one just stops caring.

Even the violence and sex appeal can’t entice our basest human urges—and that’s generally the bread and butter of the horror genre.

In fact, Psychopaths isn’t even watchable for fans of B movies or bad horror, it’s just plain awful. You just feel embarrassed for its stars.

Meanwhile, Keating leaves the audience to assume a whole hell of a lot, which isn’t a great way to go about telling a story. By the end, we were just mad that this thing—which isn’t even a full 90 minutes in length—exists, and that’s the scariest part of all. (Alex De Vore) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 85 min.

+ SHOCKING AND GRIPPING - PERHAPS TOO SLOW A BURN FOR SOME

There exists in the human fabric dark thoughts and desires we won’t allow ourselves to truly feel. But what if there were something within us that indulged these feelings and manifested them into terrifying reality? This is the power— or curse, as it were—of the titular Thelma (Elli Harboe), in the film from Norwegian director Joachim Trier (Louder Than Bombs), perhaps one of the most subtly gripping movies this year.

Thelma is young and off to college; a bit of a

Thelma is one of those movies that’ll stick with you for basically the rest of forever. bumpkin living in the big city for the first time.

But when she begins suffering seizures with no apparent ties to epilepsy, she also starts to notice small, nearly indiscernible events that occur nearby. These things start inconsequentially enough and eventually might have seemed more pressing if Thelma weren’t falling in love with another young woman from school (Kaya Wilkins) and emerging from a couple decades’ worth of religious oppression at the hands of her parents, a doctor father (Henrik Rafaelson) and wheelchair-bound mother (Ellen Dorrit Petersen); the victims of some nameless looming accident from long ago that Thelma has blocked out from her memory.

Trier obviously relishes the slow burn, to the point we wonder if he’s trying to make us lose our grip on reality along with Thelma.

Pacing thus becomes all the more important, and we repeatedly believe throughout the film’s movements that maybe things aren’t what they seem and we’re simply following a normal young woman through coincidences and anxiety issues. Harboe (The Wave) proves capable as Thelma, especially as concerns that she just isn’t likable fade into abject knowledge of that fact; it isn’t so much that she’s evil, just too willing to indulge her deepest darkness.

If it feels too slow, this is deliberate, and trust us—it’s leading to one of the most shocking moments ever committed to film. Which makes Thelma a deft combination of thriller, sci-fi, horror and Twilight Zone for fans of any of the above willing to put in the effort to reach the payoff. It’s ultimately so worth it.

JUSTICE LEAGUE

+ WONDER WOMAN SCENES - ALL OTHER SCENES

You know that feeling you get when you’re pretty sure a movie is going to be just awful, but you have nostalgic feelings about its characters, so you suck it up and go anyway? Ignore that feeling as it applies to Justice League—this thing is just sloppily executed expositional garbage layered over an awful screenplay, hollow heroes and villains and a complete mess of a plot that probably won’t even excite the most naive of moviegoing children.

It’s some time after the death of Superman from that also-awful movie, Batman v. Superman, and Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck) is all freaked out about how something extra-evil might go down soon since the evil forces of the universe are aware Earth has no real guardian. Cue mildly humorous team-building with reluctant other heroes like Wonder Woman (Gal

Gadot, who does, in fairness, rule), The Flash (Ezra Miller and his painful stabs at comedic relief), Aquaman (Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa, whom we can tell tries his damnedest) and The Cyborg (the brooding and all-too-emotional Ray Fisher). Turns out li’l Brucey was right, and some amalgam of pure evil and jagged metal helmets called Steppenwolf—who was surely born to be wild—shows up to claim powers and take over the planet and kill everyone and stuff.

Between the first hour of said team-building, wherein we’re reminded for the umpteenth time what these characters are all about, and the second hour, wherein we are force-fed barely digestible fight scenes shot on blue screen and crammed with shaky cam, it may occur to some that they’re seeing this film out of a misguided sense of duty to their childhoods. Others will attend simply to see Momoa’s glistening pecs; there may even be fans of that Wonder Woman film onboard (there should be—it was awesome), but that doesn’t mean Justice League deserves such throngs. See, the Marvel universe has been smart and calculating, doling out movies like breadcrumbs in a metered fashion that are often (not always) worth being excited about. DC, however, seems to subscribe to a throw-in-everything-we-can-and-see-whatsticks plan, and it’s obvious. Hell, it often seems like the people behind this thing don’t even know what they’re doing. Furthermore, if director Zac Snyder doesn’t ditch his love of slow-mo played out at every possible second, we’re gonna lose it.

So, we stop caring. And early. Formulaic doesn’t even begin to describe the deflated feel of Justice League—“insulting” actually might be the better term. So thanks bunches, DC, for thinking we’re all too stupid for something with any depth whatsoever. Thanks for the underdeveloped characters and terrible one-liners from actors who seem as if they barely want to be there themselves. We’re begging you here— make better movies. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 120 min.

+ FANTASTIC PERFORMANCES FROM ALL; BRILLIANT SCRIPT

- WE’VE GOT NOTHING

We have been to Sacramento. And like the Joan Didion quote that kicks off filmmaker Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, we agree that Christmas there would surely be horrible. But then again we wonder, as does the film: Why would we think we’re too good for such a place? What are we rushing toward—or from? And when did we start to believe that the next step, next place, next milestone was the last piece of a puzzle that could finally make us happy? And do we even know how to be anymore?

You’d be better off staying home and reading than seeing Justice League. Reading, you guys.

We follow Christine (or Lady Bird, depending on whom you ask—Saoirse Ronan of The Grand Budapest Hotel) in her final year at a Catholic girl’s high school in the Northern California town circa 2002. It’s one of many facets shared with scriptwriter Gerwig, who also hails from Sacramento and attended Catholic school.

Lady Bird is fairly mundane as characters go; a misfit weirdo longing for more than her hometown for typical teenaged reasons, but never quite anything enough to belong to any of the laughably perfect subcultures: closeted theater kids and super-serious rock band dorks; queenbee mean girls in short skirts, and those best friends we hurt and left behind for reasons we still don’t fully comprehend. In the end, the moral might be about being true to oneself, sure—but it’s also important to find comfort where one can.

Ronan is utterly brilliant as an average teen convinced she’s anything but; ditto for her mother Marion, played so flawlessly by Laurie Metcalf (Roseanne) that we can’t help but think of our own collective mothers and their innate ability to transcend passive aggression into an art form.

We believe Ronan and Metcalf are related in ways that most films never begin to approach—a matter of onscreen chemistry, but also a testament to the ability of each actress and Gerwig’s spot-on script.

Lady Bird could have been ripped from any of our lives and will no doubt feel painfully familiar to some, but it also comes with catharsis and gently suggested lessons rather than underestimation of its audience. A simple story told well shouldn’t be so surprisingly refreshing and moving, and yet here we are. Brava. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, Violet Crown, R, 93 min.

MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS

7

+ LOVELY AND CAPTIVATING - TYING LOOSE ENDS INTO A BOW AT THE END ISN’T ALL THAT FUN

Blockbuster cinema hasn’t focused on the whodunnit genre nearly as much as it has on others in recent decades, so the snowy sojourn of the Orient Express this fall is nothing if not different. But it’d be untrue to say that contemporary moviegoers aren’t intimately familiar with—and always half expecting—the plot twist that comes with the classic murder mystery. In that respect, this adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express fits within the standards of the day.

Based on a 1934 novel that was part of Agatha Christie’s prolific library of titles, the script—tackled by writer Michael Green, who we can blame for the 2011 Green Lantern trainwreck—is smart. We were expecting boredom at the hands of England’s

English from 80 years ago, so the crisp exchanges between globetrotting characters keep the plot chugging along at a unexpected clip. Even under that amazing mustache, director and starring actor Kenneth Branagh’s diction as the best detective on the planet, Hercule Poirot, didn’t waver. Johnny Depp’s mouthful of East Coast gangster is a little mushy, but we don’t linger on him long enough; there’s too much else to look at, and listen to.

Cowabunga! Michelle Pfieffer had it going on in a sexed-up role in Mother earlier this year, but her portrait of longing lady Caroline Hubbard is a standout in the loaded cast. Beside them, Judi Dench as a Russian princess feels almost as unnecessary as Willem Defoe as a German professor. Or is he? Is she?

The setting is remarkably lovely. From the cerulean shores of Malta through mountainous terrain somewhere between Paris and Istanbul, audiences are no doubt loving the escapism of this retelling the way we did. But, like every other movie made from a book, readers who want a movie version of the tome will be disappointed. Come on, though—how many of us actually read the thing or remember how it ends? We’ve gone out of our way here to not so much hint at the conclusion. Let us know if you figured it out before the big reveal.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of December 6th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): You may get richer quicker in 2018, Aries—especially if you refuse to sell out. You may accumulate more clout—especially if you treat everyone as your equal and always wield your power responsibly. I bet you will also experience deeper, richer emotions—especially if you avoid people who have low levels of emotional intelligence. Finally, I predict you will get the best sex of your life in the next 12 months—especially if you cultivate the kind of peace of mind in which you’ll feel fine about yourself if you don’t get any sex at all. P.S.: You’d be wise to start working on these projects immediately.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): To discuss a problem is not the same as doing something practical to correct it.

Many people don’t seem to realize this. They devote a great deal of energy to describing and analyzing their difficulties, and may even imagine possible solutions, TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The members of the fungus family, like mushrooms and molds, lack chlorophyll, but then neglect to follow through.

tively referred to as the “Orders”.

The Orders authorize the foreclosure of the liens the Association and the Trust hold at a foreclosure sale of the Property, conducted through a special master. The Court has appointed Jonathan Morse as the Special Master. The Special Master has authority to assign special master duties to another.

In the Association’s Order of June 20, 2017, the Association obtained judgment in favor of its lien (“Association’s Judgment Lien”). The Court reaffirmed the Association’s Judgment Lien in its Oct. 5 Order. The Trust obtained a judgment in favor of its lien on November 17, 2017 in the Trust Order (“Trust Lien”), and the Association and the Trust stipulated as to lien priorities in the November 17, 2017 Lien Priority Stipulation.

The Association’s Judgment Lien as of April 5, 2017 was $34,053.16 (“Association’s Judgment Lien”).

The Association’s attorneys represent that the Association’s Judgment Lien on December 20, 2017 will be $46,214.97, plus any additional costs, expenses and reasonable attorney’s accruing prior to the December 20, 2017 date of sale through to a Final Order Approving Sale.

The Trust’s lien on December 20, 2017 will total $214,296.18, which consists of the $207,870.01 as set forth in the Trust’s Lien, plus interest from 7/20/17 to 12/20/17 of $6,426.17. The Trust can also recover and include in its lien any fees for advances actually incurred either on or to the judgment date, or after the judgment date, through to a Final Order Approving Sale.

At the foreclosure sale, the Association and the Trust, or an assignee, may apply all or any part of their judgments liens to the purchase price in lieu of cash as a credit bid. At the foreclosure sale, the Association and the Trust, or an assignee have the right to bid at such sale and submit their bids verbally or in writing.

The Association’s Judgment Lien is first and primary; the Trust’s Lien is second and primary to any other interest, except the Association’s Judgment Lien and subject only to rights of redemption. This means that at the foreclosure sale, the Association can credit bid all or part of the Association’s Judgment Lien in lieu of cash first, and that the Trust can credit bid all or part of the Trust’s Lien in lieu of cash, second to the Association, and only with cash payment satisfying the Association’s Judgment Lien in full.

Proceeds of the sale shall first apply to the costs of sale, including the Special Master’s fee, for any costs incurred for the maintenance and protection of the property, then to the Association’s Judgment Lien and then to the Trust’s Lien. If a sale results in a winning bid that exceeds the these costs and judgments, then the excess amounts will be put into the Court’s registry for distribution by further order of the Court.

The Sale of this Property includes ANY AND ALL IMPROVEMENTS, FIXTURES, AND ATTACHMENTS, AND ANY AND ALL ABANDONED PERSONAL SFREPORTER.COM
