Martin Luther King said 50 years ago:
“
True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
”
So, lets not toss a gas plant (another potential stranded asset, which, according to PNM, will create only 3 permanent jobs) to San Juan County. The people of San Juan County deserve economic revitalization based on a new vision. Let’s restructure the system to support the PEOPLE. All the people together. It’s going to be a worthwhile investment. The vision should be led by the people and the investment should include at a minimum: 1. Lifelong Health Care for San Juan plant and mine workers; 2. Money for Education: K-12, and Community College – training opportunities in everything from biology, agriculture, and engineering to renewable energy, business startup, accounting and tourism; 3. Solar + storage on all schools – an affordable investment that allows community savings to be repurposed. Solar saves money and creates many local jobs. 4. Clean-up with opportunities for well-paying local jobs that generate ecological answers to toxic waste and water contamination. 5. Cultural Recognition & Land Restoration: Native knowledge and cultural practices are vital to survival. Investments in traditional education, language and cultural preservation benefit the whole community.

WEB EXTRA, JAN. 25: “PAID BY THE PUBLIC”
AN ENDORSEMENT I would like to share what I know about [City Council] candidate Nate Downey, who I have known since 2003. I met Nate at a playground clean-up day at our sons’ nursery school, where Nate convinced our rag-tag group of parent volunteers that the playground needed more than just a coat of paint and organized us to build a play shelter that the kids could enjoy year-round. It was the first of many times that I have watched Nate inspire fellow community members to innovate. Nate has been tirelessly engaged with issues facing our community and quality of life in Santa Fe. Whether it’s been educating the public about water harvesting and conservation, diminishing his family’s footprint on the earth, signing regular paychecks, supporting LitQuest through Partners in Education and the Santa Fe School for the Arts and Sciences, or being a community activist/organizer on a variety of local issues, I have watched Nate lead by example through his actions, not just his words. Nate distinguishes himself among his competitors as a hardworking man of substance, integrity and action, which I believe will be a much-needed addition to our city government.

ANOTHER ENDORSEMENT In the ‘80s, American Express hired me to tour the country with Gloria Steinem and Marlo Thomas to lead discussions about issues for American women. Back then, we really didn’t see men as allies. Today, here in Santa Fe, I feel blessed to call Alan Webber both an ally and an advocate. Alan is the only candidate that has been a CEO, is the most qualified to lead the city and the only person not to be a part of the problem at City Hall. Let’s not forget that the other four candidates have all been city officials. The most important skill for a mayor to have is [to be] managerial—both in the big picture and vision of the city as well as dayto-day operations. Alan is by far the best and most experienced manager. He has actually taught management at UCLA’s extension school. Let’s go Alan!

Lopsided Enrollment SFREPORTER.COM/NEWS
Demographic trends for school-aged children put pressure on Santa Fe Public School boundaries BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
hen the Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education voted Jan. 9 to cap enrollment at Amy Biehl Community School in Rancho Viejo, board Vice President Maureen Cashmon was the lone dissenter. For her, the decision to send new enrollees to Piñon Elementary was a short-term solution to a long-term problem: How to more fairly divide students among Santa Fe’s schools as neighborhoods on the Southside continue to outgrow the schools for which their children are zoned to attend. Instead of capping enrollment at Amy Biehl, which may affect some lower-income families, Cashmon thought the district should have instead redesigned the school’s boundaries so that three contiguous neighborhoods within the Amy Biehl zone would have been rezoned to Piñon. “Even though we were looking at that as maybe a temporary solution, in my mind and heart I knew that’d become permanent solution” because of demographic trends, says Cashmon, whose board district encompasses homes in the Amy Biehl zone. Santa Fe Public Schools marginally changed boundaries last year to even out enrollment at Santa Fe High and Capital High schools, and in 2014 it modified boundaries for some elementary schools, but it has been years since it considered a district-wide rezoning for most or all schools. Superintendent Veronica Garcia tells SFR she expects to show the board a detailed study of the district’s population growth, boundaries and facility capacities in April or May, and that “it’s possible” the plan will include rezoning suggestions. SFPS board Secretary Kate Noble, who is also running for mayor, tells SFR that a redrawing of the district’s boundaries should also consider other factors, such as where parents work. “Many parents I’ve talked to would love their students to be in a school that
is near to where they work,” says Noble, who supported the enrollment cap at Amy Biehl. “We need to also understand patterns of turnover in land use, [and have] some analysis of the ages of people living in those areas.” Enrollment for Southside schools like Amy Biehl, Piñon and Nina Otero stands at just a little over 4,000, and will approach 5,000 by the 2026-2027 school year, according to the district. Enrollment numbers are forecast to stay steady or decline everywhere else. Four elementary schools in the center of town, including Chaparral, Nava and EJ Martinez, all saw their enrollment decline over the last three school years, resulting in 491 current vacancies. The district targeted Nava and EJ Martinez for closure last year, but backlash from parents made the move politically untenable and the board shot down the plan. Cashmon anticipates a similar outrage from parents if the board pursues any sort of district-wide rezoning. She was the only board member who advocated closing EJ Martinez and Nava last year, a move she saw as part of a broad solution to fix the district’s lopsided enrollment. “[It] might mean you need to make the [zoning] circles bigger. … Short-term, that’s probably not a good thing for any board member to say; politically, it’s not a good thing to say,” she tells SFR. If growth trends in surrounding neighborhoods continue, Amy Biehl may come to serve the Rancho Viejo subdivision almost exclusively, Cashmon claims. That subdivision’s project manager, Cass Thompson, says it has added 30 to 50 new homes a year since 2012, and hopes to add 100 this year. Meanwhile, says Superintendent Garcia, parents should take note of two upcoming dates. The district has asked all parents to submit two proofs of address by Friday Feb. 16 as part of its “aggressive” campaign to identify students attending schools for which they are not zoned. Separately, parents who wish to enter their students into the lottery for an interzone transfer to another school for the 2018-2019 school year should submit their application by Thursday Feb. 15. Due to overcrowding, no transfers will be allowed to Amy Biehl or Milagro Middle School.

Currently a first-term city councilor from District 2, Ives is an attorney at the Trust for Public Land. PETER IVES
1.
Santa Fe’s next mayor will be a fulltime employee and earn $110,000 for the effort. Before voters head to the polls, SFR asked the five candidates a series of questions to test their knowledge on various city issues. All five agreed and nobody made us play phone tag to any suspicious extent. Questions are listed below, and the correct answers are below those. We’ve highlighted incorrect answers in red and tried to offer some context where necessary. Early voting starts on Valentine’s Day.
2.
Well, we have four primary sources and I count three additional sources. The Santa Fe River and the San Juan/ Chama Diversion Project water, which we pull out of the Rio Grande. The two others are the northwest well field and the Buckman well field. … We have of course, rainwater harvesting. There’s about 2,000 acre feet that falls on the rooftops of Santa Fe that we are allowed to capture and use for our personal use, so I count that as a fifth source. (He also cites potential for wastewater and conservation.) [The state] did give us the capacity to impose up to a three-eighths percent
GRT to cover losses on the hold harmless, but the city has not implemented any of that. … [On capital outlay:] I apologize. I am not sure what that figure is off the top of my head. ... Oh boy, I’m going to throw out a figure of a quarter percent, but I’m not sure if that’s right.
3.
SFSWMA is the Solid Waste Management Authority, which I have chaired in the past. And then the NCRTD is the North Central Regional Transportation District.
4.
One is, of course, relating to litigation that the city is involved in. The second is prospective real estate transactions and the like, where if that knowledge got out, you might affect the marketplace.
5.
I’m running through my checklist. … It’s probably Christus St. Vincent Hospital.

The Rio Grande (San Juan/Chama or Buckman Direct Diversion were also acceptable answers), the Santa Fe River (which includes both reservoirs), and groundwater (the city well field and the Buckman well field).

North Central Regional Transit District; Santa Fe Solid Waste Management Agency (most candidates blew past the SF part because it’s assumed). According to the Open Meetings Act, exceptions that relate to the city include pending or threatened litigation, acquisition or disposal of real property, personnel matters, or collective bargaining strategy. According to the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce, Christus St. Vincent employs 2,150 people, the Santa Fe Opera employs 791; 626 people work at Walmart’s two locations, and Peters Corporation employs 518 people.

array of what’s called local option gross receipts tax increments. We have not fully utilized the hold harmless application. I believe it’s about three-eighths percent. [On capital outlay:] We do have a one-fourth available that we repealed. I believe that was subsidizing the municipal water fund and that was for capital outlay.
The primary source of Santa Fe’s drinking water is from surface water, and that ranges anywhere from 5 to 15 percent … the Santa Fe River … San Juan/Chama water which we divert through the Buckman Direct Diversion. The next primary source of water is groundwater. We have some older city wells and then we have a cluster of Buckman wells.

Well, let’s see. We have the reservoirs, McClure and Nichols, we have the city wells, the Buckman wells and the Buckman Direct Diversion Project that pumps from the Rio Grande. Oy vey. OK, taking the second one first, I believe I was told there’s about $150 million in bonding capacity for capital projects. (SFR clarifies we’re looking for a percentage. Noble hums
“Deck the Halls” as she thinks.) I think we have two quarter percents that are available [for hold harmless]. Geez. These are hard. On the second part … I don’t know.
3.
North Central Regional Transit District and Solid Waste Management Agency.
4.
One is limited personnel matters and one is disposition of real property. No, there’s litigation and real property. I guess the school board only does personnel.

Single employer rather than a sector? Christus St. Vincent, I believe, is the biggest outside the government. Santa Fe Dining is surprisingly large.

But please note there’s a $16 million bill waiting for us in the future because we’ve got wells that are supposed to be a 20-30 year useful life and they’re already running in the 40s. (Missed: Santa Fe River.)
Oh geez. I can’t answer that. … [On capital outlay:] Let’s go with less than 1 percent. [Later, on hold harmless:] With the GRT, the city does have capacity. We’ve all said as candidates that increasing it feels like it would be inopportune. (Note: These answers are not specific.)

The first one is, I’m going to go with rural transportation district. Swamuh. S-W-M-A. Keep going. What’s your next question?

I would have to say personnel matters and … some sort of emergency issue, whether it’s public safety or otherwise, and didn’t they go into executive session when they were considering a legal strategy for the election? To talk about a legal matter and get the advice of the city attorney.

h yes, we’ve hit that weird and super-early springtime, when everyone’s fancy turns to love (or lust) and our most imtimate human desires force us to do dumb stuff to attract those we find desirable. It’s a wonderful time of year—just right, even, for SFR’s annual Love and Sex issue. And this year’s a doozy, from the health of your dick (page 12) and the pitfalls of dating locally while trans (page 13) to an actress who fell hard for her onstage puppet pal (page 14) and the absurd nature of that looming and terrifying V-Day (page
15). But it’s not all doom and gloom. Some of the information is lovely or at least reassuring and, if you’ve been a disaster on previous Valentine’s Days, therapist/sexologist Dr. Anne Ridley has some soothing (or maybe we should say easy-to-follow) advice in our 3 Questions section (page 27). It’s been said that love is a many-splendored thing, and this is true enough, but that doesn’t always mean it’s easy. We’re being realistic this year, Santa Fe, and though we may revel in our various forms of the big L, we know that comes with weirdness, sadness and expectations. But let’s stay positive, or as JC Gonzo would say: heart reacts only.

EXPAND YOUR DEFINITION OF SEX
W
BY HUNTER RILEY
hat is sex, and how do you define it? Is your definition universal? Often, the answers to this question vary, depending on the person you’re asking, what kinds of sex they have and what media representations they’ve been exposed to about sex and sexuality. Definitions of sex are often— and often mistakenly—based around a penis penetrating something, and that penis being erect, a certain size, and the erection lasting for hours. I work at Self Serve, an education and health-focused sex shop in Albuquerque, and some of the most common questions I get are about penises and how they function. People come in almost every day asking if we sell pills or creams that can make their penis bigger and/or make them last longer. We don’t sell such pills or creams for a few reasons: Pills are often not regulated in any way and they typically don’t deliver results they promise. They might even have negative side effects. Also, we don’t want to sell a product that relies on the insecurity of people with penises. Not to mention that all of this comes back around to the idea that sex has to involve an erect penis

that works 100 percent; whenever the person attached wants it to. And, spoiler alert—that often doesn’t match up with how penises actually work on a day-to-day basis. People with penises (and the rest of us) are often given lots of messages about how a penis should be, and this premise ignores the fact that lots of people have amazing, mind-blowing sex when a penis or erection isn’t even involved. Very few parts of our body work as we would like all the time. So why do we hold penises up to such a high standard? If you’re going about your daily life and you get a headache or roll your ankle, you don’t get angry or ashamed that your body isn’t acting exactly as you hoped. Sometimes we’re dehydrated. Sometimes our joints are tired from working. If people with a penis start to get nervous or upset about whether or not their penis will function “properly” during a sexual e n c o u n t e r, it’s actually more likely that the penis will have a hard time
getting hard because of the pressure (no pun intended). When I talk to penis-owners about their struggles, some of the first questions I ask are: “Have you tried using your hands or mouth instead?” “What about picking out a dildo or sex toy you and your partner like, and using that together?” Your partner will most likely be happy to have you go to town with your hands, mouth or a toy. It’s also likely that if you take the pressure off your body to have or maintain an erection, it’s more likely to show up or come back. Erectile health is complex, and due to lack of comprehensive sex education, most people don’t know how to take care of their erections for longterm health. There are several factors that can impact erections including diet, drinking, smoking, stress, sleep, exercise, medications and more. If you had a bad
day at work, your dick might not work like you want it to later on. So, if we expand our definition of what sex is, we don’t need our bodies to work exactly how we think they “should” 100 percent of the time. And taking that pressure off of ourselves and our partners means we can more fully enjoy sex, in all the forms it takes. There’s a fantastic documentary on Netflix called UnHung Hero; the story follows a man as he tries almost all the penis enhancement methods under the sun. Some of them are terrifying to watch, even if you don’t have a penis. He even calls several companies that sell pills and asks them why, after taking pills for several weeks, he hasn’t seen any changes in his erections. They say, flat-out, “We don’t guarantee results.” While there are real things you can (and probably should) do to help increase your erectile health, one of the most effective ways, according to Dr. Steven Lamm, author of The Hardness Factor, is to increase the amount of nitrogen in your blood. One of the best ways to do this is via exercise, diet, and decreasing smoking and drinking. Dr. Lamm notes that erectile dysfunction, such as not being able to achieve or maintain an erection, is often one of the first indicators of bigger health challenges down the line. Your dick is trying to tell you something. It’s telling you to take care of yourself, so it can take care of you and your partners. And one of the best ways to do that is by taking some pressure off. Really, what it comes down to is: Your dick is begging you to expand your definition of sex.
A
s a gender non-conforming person, navigating most spaces can be a nightmare, especially when it comes to dating. The majority of interactions with people outside of trans-affirming spaces means someone will look at your body characteristics to try and determine your gender and, often, what they see will tell them how to identify you before you ever get a word in. For these people, physical characteristics ascribe gender. But ultimately, it’s what’s between your legs, right? Wrong. Gender is not genitalia. In fact, gender can be everything and anything (including genitalia), but it has no singular definition. Those who fall outside the standard construct are often “other,” and “other” is usually trying to gauge which label they should claim while trying to safely and respectfully maneuver into an engagement with another being that feels sexy and fun, or at least worth a drive across town. When I am looking to date, I feel I have a lot of explaining to do or like I have to make excuses for one part of me or another. What attributes will I claim? What gender will I choose from the two options? Or will I tell the truth? How will we navigate the individual consents of our bodies? Will we do that at all? How can I look or be seen in these spaces when mine is an error in the cis-tem; an anomaly? Inclusion can be mind-blowing. Throughout the ripple of trans visibility, some of us have achieved opportunities to participate in normative society. It’s almost like the popular kids talking to the band kids: It looks good in action, but it’s difficult to trust it. Between old-fashioned ways of physically co-existing and speaking to strangers in public and online dating—where we swipe and scroll our way around an attraction to heavily constructed digital selves in hopes of potentially meeting in real life—being non-conforming sometimes means a lot of negotiation; sometimes, as in Santa Fe, options are limited. Meeting for dates, hookups or hangouts already seems a struggle as one ages, but the bigger the intersectionalities of identity, the more complicated these tasks become. Recently, many online dating sites have expanded offerings to serve the transgender community, both binary and non-binary alike, with Grindr currently all the rage for opening the gateways for other genders to peruse the site. (But really, they were already doing it anyway.) Non-binary shares its category with others like non-conforming, queer, crossdresser, (…), and, lastly, cus-

tom non-binary. Pronouns: they/them/theirs; my pic and words, etc. Things one might say on their profile: AFAB, non-binary/non-conforming queer seeks (…). If I get a like, a swipe, a message—great. But we’ll likely get 99.9 percent close to meeting before a last minute flake-out completely obliterates this option. Usually, the messages start out like, “Hey,” or “Trans?” They’re neutral. Then it’s on. One message I recently received seemed promising. This apparent “boy” asked if I had facial hair, to which I responded, “Yes, of course!” because I can say that now and it’s thrilling! (He had no idea how I have waited to answer that.) He gave me his number, I text him and, finally, I received: “Hey/I’m so and so/I’m discreet/ Would you mind shaving your facial hair?” I sent back a line of typed out laughter. I asked if he wanted to compensate with some money. He declined. I asked if he was looking for more of a girl, because this is clearly a queer scenario and I am maybe into it. He said no. That he only used Grindr for blow jobs but since
I “still had a pussy and tits I’m all down.” In the end, I learned he was straight and cruising the formerly gay-only space to net thirsty young queers who perhaps didn’t care. Suddenly, no matter what my identity was or how non-conforming either of us were, I was a fuckable woman. Got tit pics?
Oh you prolly want some smooth titties huh?
My titties is hairy honey, lots of body hair from that transition and I suspect you might be a bit squeamish.
Eh.
Yeah if you want more girl then I’m not gonna do it for you—transgender doesn’t mean clean-cut this or that.
The messages stopped. Another dissatisfying interaction. Forever in this awk-
ward duckling stage, I keep moving forward. Deactivating and redownloading, half-heartedly swiping left and right. I can play along with the narrative anytime I want, be whatever I want to be, determined by my consent within the moment. My inclusion is meant to open expanded options for all, but even though I may find myself ready to be included in those spaces, it seems a lot of people are not ready for me. What if I miss out on the love of my life because I refuse to answer whether I’m a man or a woman? But the kinds of people I want to engage with would never ask that question, and would identify across the gender spectrum themselves. Ultimately, I cannot say how I will find them. Maybe not in a dating app or hookup app or singles gathering downtown. The kind of person I want to engage with is going to come out of nowhere, when I least expect it. For all of my complexity it’ll take a little luck, many no-thank-yous and a whole lot of magic. While Santa Fe feels like a queer desert, devoid of young and reasonable pursuits for a my type of gender nonconformity, I get by instead with the curious experiences I accumulate in the City Different.

T
he sad state of sexual affairs in media and art has recently been rightfully and glaringly exposed. You thought all those middle-aged men were just benevolent patrons, brilliant teachers and talented artists … but nope. They’re all rapists, degenerates and human dumpster fires. Yikes. So let’s take this somewhere else. Let’s reclaim the idea of love between artists. Let’s go to a simpler place; a sweeter place; to the realm of the showmance. For those who’ve not set foot on a stage, the concept of a showmance is a pretty simple one: amorous feelings between members of a theatrical production. It happens a lot. Honestly, it’s even a little odd if a show goes by without a showmance. It’s a fact of life in theater: You’re gonna get laid, and it’s probably gonna be good. (Best. Hobby. Ever.) Even at the “lowest” level of commitment (unpaid community theater shows), you’re still rehearsing six or seven days a week for three to five hours a day for maybe two months. You’re all artsy-types, which means you’re probably passionate and a little fiery. (That’s said without judgment; takes one to know one.) Then you start performing—there’s that endorphin rush. After performances you’ll probably go out for drinks. If nothing’s happened by that point—then, well, that’s what cast parties are for, right? Even for someone like actress Tara Khozein, who defines herself as a staunch “boundaries girl” and who has never had a relationship with a fellow cast member, passion is inherent in the practice. “I probably fall in love with everyone that I’m ever paired with onstage,” she says. “I think about a life with that person, and all of the details of that. … But it can’t happen, at least for me, if there’s any sense that it will follow me out of there.” As separate as she tries to keep herself, she admits it’s a slippery slope. “We’re playing with fire with this craft,” she con-

tinues. “It’s soul stuff. It’s deep, weird, mysterious heart stuff. So there needs to be an amount of sacredness around it.” And then there’s Kate Chavez and Robin Holloway, two-thirds of the company Up & Down Theatre. They met while studying at the London International School of Performing Arts, and after two years, they formed Up & Down with classmate Lindsey Hope Pearlman in 2011. A year after they formed the company, Chavez and Holloway realized they were also in love. A year ago, they were married. They have a unique love-work balance, however. “When we work together in the company, it’s almost like we revert back to the collegial relationship,” Chavez says. “Then we go to bed at night and it’s like, ‘Oh, hi!’” If it sounds a little sterile, don’t be fooled. Chavez still thinks that romance is to be expected: “There’s a level of intimacy … that seems like a very natural, and almost necessary outcropping of an artistic life. For longevity, you need distance and professionalism, but you also need a certain level of intimacy. It creates a breeding ground for romance.” Holloway takes it a step further: Maybe it’s even a benefit. “At this point, it’s really hard for me to imagine not working with
my partner.” But he admits it’s also weird. “When you’re doing a show, it consumes your whole life,” he says. “It’s everything you think about, it’s everything you share. … It feels like you have the world in common. But then … the show closes, and the veil drops, and you’re like, ‘Woah, I don’t even know who you are.’” When Janet Davidson, president of Theatre Santa Fe, responded to my query about showmance, she definitely took the cake for weirdest story: “I fell in love with the puppet while on tour with Snow White,” she wrote in an email. Okay, maybe I could roll with this.
Maybe it was one of those beautiful, kinda-weirdly-sexy art puppets. And then Davidson texted me a picture. The 1968 photo showed a supple 20-year-old Davidson as the titular character, coiffed and dewy, with Sweet Pea: a burlap-clothes-wearing, glassy-eyed, plush, bulbous … well, puppet. On a tour from New York to Illinois in 1968, Davidson describes her close friendship with Bob, Sweet Pea’s puppeteer. Their friendship deepened until a fellow company member had to step in. The friend “got the two of us together and he said, ‘Look, Bob is gay. Sweet Pea is not. You’re falling in love with Sweet Pea. Not Bob. Bob is gay.’ And then he turned to Bob and said, ‘Bob. Janet’s not Snow White. You’re falling in love with Snow White. And you have to grow up, the two of you.’ I was so confused about the whole thing. Then, do I not love Sweet Pea? Or Bob? Or what?” It sounds silly—except for anyone who’s acted with a puppet, maybe. “It was my first encounter with confusing relationships,” Davidson says. “I wonder to this day if there wasn’t something more there that was coming out of Bob.” As in every love story, there is a denouement. “As the tour went on, Bob and I got further and further apart. There was less and less kidding around,” Davidson says now, 50 years later, still a little sadness in her voice. “I don’t know if you can make heads or tails of that, because to this day, I can’t. I never saw Bob again.” As she “grew up,” she learned that this was all just part of the biz. “When people are thrown into long hours of intense work, there end up being relationships, whether they’re hate or love. I don’t think you can get away from it,” she says. And really, let’s not get away from it. Theater is people interacting with people; the messy realness of humanity is what makes it a living art form. And there’s nothing more romantic than that.

The C. G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe presents
Jung
Lecture & Workshop
In the World
David Solem, M.S.W., L.I.S.W., Jungian analyst praticing in Santa Fe Lecture: Weaving and Unravelling our Shrouds — Encountering Exile as a complex in Psyche Friday, February 9th 7-9pm $10 2 CEUs or 2 Cultural CEUs
“The opposite of Home is not distance but forgetfulness” – Elie Wiesel Exile is an archetypal energy very much constellated in our current time. We see it activated and played out in our local community, and on the national and international stage. We are even enacting it with Nature herself. Exile can bring dissociation and withdrawal, or it may enflame rage and an aggressive enacting of violence. However it manifests, it results in a loss of Home, sometimes literally but always imaginatively. In our time, awareness of this archetypal happening brings the potential of creative action that can transform our communities and institutions, yet in order for this to happen we need both an authentic individuality and some felt-connection to Self. Clinically, we may understand the exile experience as connected to anxiety and depression, archetypal happenings in the psyche that impose distance, the inability to connect, and a sense of being walled off or sealed in a tomb. We will look at the archetypal energies of Exile both as a result of trauma and also as an autonomous happening in the psyche that may either be the beginning of the individuation journey, or, lead to ways of adaptation that make wholeness impossible. The nuances of exile will be explored in the images of Homer’s Odyssey, in the myths of Orpheus and Eurydice, in John Adams’ opera Doctor Atomic (to be produced at the Santa Fe Opera in 2018), and in the mystical poetry of George Herbert. We will attempt to connect these stories to a mythic structure of exile that invites a journey toward wholeness, perhaps best understood as an archetypal sense of Home.
Workshop: Self-Exile and the Soul, Exploring Our Personal Exile Story
Saturday, February 10th 10am-4pm $60 4.5 CEUs or 4.5 Cultural CEUs “Love bade me welcome, yet my soul drew back” – George Herbert
Awareness of and the ability to name the nuances of our personal exile story is the beginning of movement toward wholeness. We will spend the day exploring the colors and moods of exile energy as it manifests in our personal lives and as it shows up in the consulting room, not only in clients, but also in the field created in the analytic dyad. Excerpts from poetry, literature, opera and film will be utilized to open up dialogues among the participants. We will view the 1956 sci-fi masterpiece “Forbidden Planet” and contrast it with sections of John Adams’ Doctor Atomic, exploring the images and narratives in relationship to the exile complex and its drive toward wholeness.

hat Malem McDaniel remembers about his first snowboard competition at about age 7 isn’t the promise he showed, or even the hint that he would be good at all. “I certainly wasn’t the best—I think I could have gotten last place,” he recalls. “I’ve always had this spark when it comes to sports to be my best and progress … so, certainly when I got dead last, it kind of started this fire in me that made me want to just continue doing it.” That pursuit took him from his family in Santa Fe to Aspen as of this fall, where he’s begun training full-time as a slopestyle snowboarder, with an eye on the 2022 Olympics. “I’m pretty much just having the most fun I’ve ever had snowboarding,” he says. Malem, 14, now lives with his 25-yearold brother and is responsible for his own cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. He squeezes online school in around a training schedule that sees him on his snowboard five days a week from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm, working on trick progressions, upping the ante from the day before by adding spins, flips or grabs. After years as a regular podium-finisher in the USA Snowboard and Freeski Association regional events in New Mexico—a series his parents, Fred and Kele McDaniel, directed for four years—he and his family decided it made sense for him to move up, both to challenge himself in a new field and to open this one to the next rising athletes. Last winter, that meant driving to Colorado week after week to spend one day practicing and then the weekend competing. Even as one of few

kids in those competitions who wasn’t on the snow full-time, Fred points out, he was still finishing in the top 10. Since moving to Colorado, Malem says, “I’ve gotten homesick a couple times, but [my parents] like to come up almost every weekend, and it’s been awesome having my older brother here to help me and be there for me.” He’s training with the Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard Club and coach Nichole Mason. Mason also works with Chris Corning, one of the first riders to secure a spot on the US snowboarding team for the 2018 Olympics. The United States
Ski and Snowboard Association named Mason Snowboarding Domestic Coach of the Year and USSA Development Coach of the Year in 2017, the latter of which is one of the organization’s highest honors. This season Malem is competing in a more challenging circuit, including his first international competition, for which he traveled to Canada sans parents in January to ride among kids who were close to making the Canadian Olympic team. “It was great for me to be able to learn about what they’re doing and what I need to be able to work on and how I need to
get better,” he says. “It’s kind of come to a point where I have a lot of these tricks, and it’s just a mental game now.” To that end, his parents, who provide movement therapy at their business, Human Performance Center, are helping him use a couple brain-training tools to stay positive and focused. The hope is that he’ll learn to handle the pressure that comes when another competitor lands a high-scoring run and he needs to try to do even better. For his parents, too, this experience has been an exercise in not letting fear run wild. “It’s been an interesting journey in letting go,” Kele says, to which Fred adds: “Being present. Anything other than that is dangerous. … We’re spending a lot of time in meditation.” As Malem steps up to bigger competitions and life on his own, they’re constantly assessing the course they’ve set. “We’re taking it year by year,” Fred says. “We made the choice to pursue this because it’s going to give him direction in his life. … It’s about helping him identify who he is and who he’s going to be in the world.” His parents are supportive, Malem says, but they’re not pushing. Especially with the distance, his mom often reminds him: He can always come home. Instead, he’s got his sights set on his first “never summer” year, which would see him spending weeks in New Zealand and Switzerland. That’s not their idea, he says; “It’s me leading the way.” With the Winter Olympics starting Feb. 9, he’s got years before he needs to earn scores that qualify him for the team. Setting that goal comes back to the drive that propelled him to work hard, rather than quit, after a dismal rank in his first competition. “It’s just the biggest achievement in a lot of these snowsports right now,” he says. “It’s pretty much the farthest you can go.”

Zombie Wars and Nowhere Man, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and the story collections The Question of Bruno and Love and Obstacles. Born in Sarajevo in the former Yugoslavia in 1964, Hemon was visiting Chicago as a tourist in 1992 when the Bosnian War broke out. Unable to return home, he eventually settled permanently in Chicago. Having arrived with only a basic command of English, Hemon learned the language by reading the novels of Vladimir Nabokov; he published his first story in English in 1995. The New Yorker described him as having an “astonishing talent to notice the world with a sarcastic, wily precision that is then put in tension with his love of surreal metaphor.” Hemon’s writing has appeared in The New Yorker, Esquire, and the New York Times, with more recent work addressing issues of immigration and the Trump administration. In a piece entitled “When Neighbors Turn on Each Other, It Happens Fast,” he writes, “Nevertheless, the question remains what happens to that sense of ethical stability when there is a societal rupture, when the infrastructure that allows for essentialist individualism is damaged and destroyed?” Hemon was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2003 and received a MacArthur “genius grant” the following year. He lives in Chicago with his family.

EVENT SAT/10
Dance Dance Revolution Intersectional feminism is the only true feminism Jessica Montoya Trujillo doesn’t hesitate to tell SFR precisely why dance (and, in particular, this Saturday’s flash mob at the Roundhouse) is important to her. “Being a child sex abuse survivor, that is where the scene of the crime is: my body,” she says. “So being able to return back to the scene of the crime and be conscious and aware of what’s going on around me … has helped me return back into my body.” Montoya Trujillo is a global coordinator for the New Mexico chapter of national organization One Billion Rising, a nonprofit whose advocacy work focuses partly on helping survivors of sexual assault (one in three women and one in five men will be assaulted, raped or beaten—and that’s only what is reported), but also advocates for justice for Indigenous people, people of color, the trans+ community and the otherwise disenfranchised. At the flash mob dance this weekend, she says, “Being able to dance in a public space and reclaim that space … helps
connect you and bring you back into your body, back into the world.” She doesn’t want folks to be scared off by the idea of “dance,” though; the flash mob, which OBR has done annually since 2012, is set to the tune of Tena Clark’s “Break the Chain,” and a YouTube search reveals it’s easy enough that you could even just watch others to learn it as you go. There are also ways to do it with a walker or wheelchair, so those who identify as handicapped, disabled or differently abled are encouraged to come. Just remember: Whether you’re “in the dirt, so to speak; in the trenches, in the arroyos, working with direct service,” Montoya Trujillo says, “or if you’re in the Legislature or a lobbyist, you have to be feminist at the forefront of all of your movements.” (Charlotte Jusinski) ONE BILLION RISING: RISE UP IN DANCE FLASH MOB Noon Saturday Feb. 10.

First Tracks XL 3: in Time Damn, grrrl, that’s a lot of stuff!
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
T
here comes a time in every music writer’s life—especially in a small town—wherein they think to themselves, “OH GOD! I AM SO SLAMMED WHAT DO I DO?!” That time is now; that place is here. But never fear, for we are getting through it together with this big ol’ overview of things I currently find musically notable or worth mentioning. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again— Bill Palmer is a kickass songwriter, and he’s got the new songs to prove it. For my money, Palmer’s solo efforts always hit me harder and more meaningfully. Take “Little Bird from the Woods” from last month’s release, A Whisper in the Trees. Whether deliberate or not, Palmer channels our dearly departed Tom Petty, had Petty written jams with Townes Van Zandt. Oh, it’s a love song alright, but subtly dark and rife with minimal and excellent mandolin flourishes. Palmer even strays into stripped-down piano pop with “The Gathering Time,” a self-reflective number with a surplus of them sweet, sweet feels.
We remind you about March’s Buckethead show so early because it’s sold out and you might need time to weasel tix.
Ugh, there’s something about songs that read like diary entries that really works. We came really soooooo close to hosting rock legends Smoking Popes in Santa Fe this month, but I’m hearing they went with a house show in Albuquerque. If anyone knows anything about this— such as how I and my dumb friend Jasper might attend—please, please, please let me know immediately. In the meantime, if you think you don’t know them, remind yourself about “Need You Around” from the Clueless soundtrack and be like, “Oh, yeah! That song!” They’ve got tons of great other material, too—just pick up the reissue of their very incredible Destination Failure album next month. When we heard celebrated guitar noodler Buckethead would appear at Meow Wolf on Monday March 12 (with the assist from AMP Concerts), we immediately jumped on Facebook to make fun of celebrated local guitar noodler Mikey Baker. He took it like a champ and stuck it to us right back, but we also learned this week that the show sold out. Yikes; too bad. But y’know, them’s the breaks when we live in a town that conditioned us to never worry about pre-sale tickets.
Godspeed if you’re looking (and maybe try Craigslist as we get closer). You might also like to know that hip-hop titan Talib Kweli appears at Meow Wolf on Tuesday March 13 (with the assist from Albuquerque-based promoters Too Zany). As of this moment, it appears there are still some $25 tickets left. We mention this now so you’ll have plenty of time to make plans. Aaaaaaaaand—GO! Meanwhile, Matron Records founder and creator of Scissor Lift (a totally cool and weird looping and vocals project), Eliza Lutz, is off to Tasmania (that’s an island state, y’all!) to party with her brother, field recording genius and former Warehouse 21 staffer James Lutz. The pair is reportedly set to produce Scissor Lift’s debut record while there and that’s just, like, pretty cool. You may also know James Lutz from his work with Santa Fe Audio Visual during Railyard and Plaza shows alike. What a sibling team! I stumbled across an article I wrote a few years back about DIY venues and house shows, and it got me wondering about who might be doing similar and/ or new spaces, where they are and how a dude like me might learn about/come by.
If you have any good information, lemme know, because house shows are cool and I like them. Gotta give a shoutout to The Candyman Strings & Things for not only helping me order a totally bithcin’ guitar case but for being friendly, courteous and fast about it. They’re honestly heroes who do a lot for the community, too. Speaking of music merchants, NAMM—or, the National Association of Music Merchants—just wrapped their big fat convention in Los Angles, and we saw some pretty great photos and gear and are now lusting over cool pedals and ridiculous guitars and the like. A trend that’s super exciting is this thing where equipment can make lesser equipment sound like better equipment. To think of all the time and money we wasted buying nice things! Boo! And, finally, I’d like to give advice to people who’ve been feeling burned by this year’s Grammy awards: The Grammies are and always have been trash. Skip them next year, don’t pay attention anymore and give up on looking for meaning in mainstream music (not counting “Toxic” by B Spears—that’s a jam)!

Clean Lines
Ciel Bergman’s art endures post-mortem
COURTESY CENTER FOR CONTEMPORARY ARTS
of a soak-stain technique, introduced by Helen Frankenthaler in the ’50s. It’s an intensely physical process by which paint is diluted and poured across a flat cloth surface, resulting in unpredictable areas of alternately washed-out and concentrated color. In his essay for the show’s catalog (other contributors include Rizzo and LA-based art critic Peter Frank), CCA Executive Director Stuart Ashman muses that Bergman’s work aligns with that of Transcendental School artists—think early 20th-century Taos-based painters like Agnes Lawrence Pelton and Raymond Jonson, whose seemingly trippy abstractions were deceptively well-planned, designed to optically and even spiritually challenge their viewers. Ashman’s assessment feels right, even if, at least in earlier works, there’s a hesitancy (or perhaps a disinterest) in depicting crisp or recognizable forms. In Bergman’s groovily named Ciel Bergman’s “Santa Fe Spiritual Guide Map for The Linens is a Modern Western Man,” painted sublime follow up to in 1972, an expanse of adobe-colCCA’s recent ored linen at first seems empty of Tom Joyce show. marks.

I became a historian,” Rizzo nonchalantly floating across a cerulean background, with empty thought bubbles told SFR by phone. The first thing you’ll notice about The hovering above. Skinny red lines zip Linens is their hugeness, with many easily around, and overlaying it all are evenly spanning 10 or 13 feet. Rizzo ingeniously spaced, snow-white dots, which obstruct, devised a way to mount them, leaving a gap but also collude with, the image’s oddball of several inches between the painting and vibe. Was Bergman a feminist? “The femithe wall.

n 1970, when she began the series that would become The Linens, Ciel Bergman was Cheryl Bowers, a former nurse just starting art school in San Francisco as a 30-something divorcee and single mother of two. On view for the first time ever, the group of 40 or so unstretched and outsized paintings, now at the Center for Contemporary Art’s Tank Garage exhibition space, is largely intact and mostly organized chronologically, spanning the seven-year period during which they were made. Decades ago, Bergman wrote, “What drives my vision is a need to locate a genetically felt devotional space in which a simultaneous multiplicity of disparate realities co-exist.” Art-speaky to the max, but here’s the thing: To Bergman, the theory, the tangle of theories behind a paint-

time, for the rest of her life.” For Rizzo, the show couldn’t come at a better time. I told her 2018 feels (so far, hopefully) like the year of the woman. “Oh totally,” she said, “this body of work feels absolutely relevant right now. These paintings were foundational for Ciel.” When considered against CCA’s last big show—the heavy, masculine-feeling metal sculpture of Tom Joyce—Bergman’s work occurs not as tender per se, but markedly gentler: easier to be with, maybe. The Linens stopped in ’77, the same year Bergman neé Bowers was hired as a full-time faculty member at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she taught for nearly two decades. At 50, she legally changed her name in honor of her Swedish grandmother, a ballsy move for an established artist and art professor. One of her heroes was that marvelous trickster Marcel Duchamp, whose feminine alter ego, Rrose Sélavy, pops up in the titles of multiple paintings; Bergman certainly would have been familiar with Duchamp’s assertion that “art is a game between all people of all periods.” Before we think of linen as an artist’s material, we think of it as a domestic material, appropriate for tablecloths and bedsheets and things that get laundered, neatly folded and put away. A stack of clean sheets, for example, suggests purity—but also housework, as an act not just of making things clean, but of maintaining order. What’s implied here though, by linen; or, more specifically, by the linens as a plural entity, the body or group as Bergman imagined them? I like to think Bergman relished the implication, the very oppositeness of tidily folded linens against her own linens, which are stained, marked-up—maybe utterly feminine, in some sort of essential way: raw, strange and full of power.

How does one get into the gay BDSM bottoming and leather scene? -Seeking Answers Concerning Kink One shows up, SACK. “Eighty percent of success is just showing up,” someone or other once said. The adage applies to romantic/sexual success as well as professional success, SACK, but showing up easily accounts for 90 percent of success in the BDSM/leather/fetish scene. (Being a decent human being accounts for the other 110 percent*.) Because if you aren’t showing up in kink spaces—online or IRL—your fellow kinksters won’t be able to find or bind you. But you don’t have to take my word for it… “The leather scene is a diverse place with tons of outlets and avenues, depending on how you navigate your life and learn,” said Amp from Watts the Safeword (wattsthesafeword.com), a kink and sex-ed website and YouTube channel. “When I was first getting started, I found a local leather contingent that held monthly bar nights and discussion groups that taught classes for kinksters at any level. It provided an easy way into the community, and it helped me meet new people, make new friends, and find trustworthy play partners. If you’re a tad shy and work better online, these contingents have Facebook groups or FetLife pages you can join. And YouTube has a channel for everyone in the kink spectrum from gay to straight to trans to nonbinary and beyond!” “Recon.com is a great option for gay men,” said Metal from the gay male bondage website MetalbondNYC.com. “It’s a site where you can create a profile, window-shop for a play buddy, and ‘check his references.’ Even better, if you can, go to a public event like IML, MAL, or CLAW, or to a play party like the New York Bondage Club, where you can participate in a monitored space with other people around, or just watch the action. Don’t forget the motto ‘safe, sane, and consensual,’ and be sure to have a safe word! And if you do want to explore bondage, take precautions. Never get tied up in your own home by someone you don’t know. If you go to his or her place, always tell a trusted friend where you are going. And when hooking up online, never use Craigslist.” “Be cautious,” said Ruff of Ruff’s Stuff blog. “There are people out there who view ‘kink newbies’ as prey. Anytime anyone—top or bottom— wants to rush into a power-exchange scene, that’s a red flag. Always get to know a person first. A good-quality connection with any potential playmate is achieved only through communication. If they are not interested in doing the legwork, they’re not the right person for you.” Follow Metal on Twitter @MetalbondNYC, follow Amp @Pup_Amp, and follow Ruff @RuffsStuffBlog. I’m a 28-year-old bi-curious female, and I ended a three-year straight LTR a month ago. It’s been tough—my ex is a great guy, and causing him pain has been a loss on top of my own loss, but I know I did the right thing. Among other things, our sex life was bland and we had infrequent sex at best. Now I want to experiment, explore nonmonogamy, and have crazy and fulfilling sex with whoever tickles my fancy. I met a new guy two weeks ago, and the sex is incredible. We also immediately clicked and became friends. The problem? I suspect he wants a romantic relationship. He says he’s open to my terms—open/fuck-buddy situation—but things have quickly become relationship-ish. I like him, but I can’t realistically picture us being a good LTR match. I’m hoping we can figure out something in between—something like a sexual friendship where we enjoy and support each other and experiment together without tying ourselves down—but I have found very little evidence of such undefined relationships working without someone getting hurt. I am sick of hurting people! Any advice? -Hoping Open Peaceful Experiences Feel Unlike Loss

If “someone might get hurt” is the standard you’re going to apply to all future relationships— if it’s a deal breaker—then you shouldn’t date or fuck anyone else ever again, HOPEFUL, because there’s always a chance someone is going to get hurt. The fact that hurt is always a possibility is no excuse for hurting others needlessly or maliciously; we should be thoughtful and conscientious about other people’s feelings. We should also remember that no one is clairvoyant and that someone can hurt us without intending to. But there’s no intimate human connection, sexual or otherwise, that doesn’t leave us open to hurting or being hurt. So fuck this guy, HOPEFUL, on your own terms—but don’t be too quick to dismiss the possibility of an LTR. Great sex and a good friendship make up a solid foundation. You’re aware that nonmonogamous relationships are an option— and couples can explore nonmonogamy together. If you can have this guy and have your sexual adventures, too—this could be the start of something big. I’m a mid-20s, above-average-looking gay dude into spanking guys. The weird thing is, the only guys I can find to spank are straight. It’s not that they’re closeted—most of them go on to have girlfriends, and that’s when we stop—and they make it clear they don’t want anything sexual to happen. No complaints on my end! But why don’t they want a woman spanking them? -Seriously Perplexed And Needing Knowledge How do you know their new girlfriends don’t start spanking them when you stop? And how do you know they aren’t closing their eyes and imaging that you’re a woman when you’re spanking them? And how do you know they’re not bi—at least where spankings are concerned? (Also: There are tons of gay guys out there into spanking, SPANK. So if you aren’t finding any, I can only conclude that you aren’t looking.) I’m wondering about the application of the term “bear” to a straight man, such as myself. I’m a bigger guy with a lot of body hair and a beard. I love that in the gay community there is a cute term for guys like me reflecting body positivity. For us straight dudes, however, being big and hairy means getting thought of as an ape—big, dumb, smelly oafs. While I can be dumb, smelly, and oafish at times (like anyone), I’d also like to have a way to describe myself that is masculine yet attractive. Bear is a great term, but I’m concerned about being insensitive in appropriating it. I haven’t asked my gay/bear friends about it (though they’ve referred to me as a bear on occasion) because I’m afraid I won’t get a straight answer (no pun intended). Would it be okay for me to refer to myself as a bear or, as a highly privileged straight cis male, do I need to accept the fact that I can’t have everything and maybe leave something alone for fucking once? -Hetero Ape Inquiring Respectfully, Yup “If you want to be a bear, BE A BEAR!” said Brendan Mack, an organizing member of XL Bears (xlbears.org), a social group for bears and their admirers. “DO YOU! There isn’t anything appropriative about a straight guy using the term ‘bear’ to describe himself—it’s a body type, it’s a lifestyle, and it’s celebrating yourself. Gay, straight, hairy, smooth, fat, muscled—bear is a state of mind. It’s body acceptance. It’s acceptance of who you are. So if you want to be a bear, WELCOME TO THE WOODS!” Matt Bee, the promoter behind Bearracuda Worldwide (bearracuda.com), seconded Mack. “The term ‘bear,’ like any other animal descriptor, is a pretty playful one to begin with. Please, by all means, use it and any other well-meaning word to describe yourself!”

COURTESY ANNE RIDLEY
Since this is the Love and Sex issue, we can think of no better local to talk to than Dr. Anne Ridley. A psychotherapist, a sexologist and the the owner of erotic boutique Modern Aphrodite (1708 Lena St., 819-3810), Ridley is just about the most knowledgable person on love and sex we could find. So breathe deep, feel your feelings and prepare for helpful information from a real-life love expert. (Alex De Vore) Why do you think humans are so hell-bent on quantifying and qualifying love? Really, we should be doing this all the time—it’s not something that, unfortunately, a lot of people pay attention to. The time we spend may be at work or at the gym, so our relationship often falls to the back burner. There’s a lot of expectation, there’s a lot left unsaid, meaning we have the expectaion our partner does XYZ, thinking they know what we want. A good way to ensure a good experience is to ask for what you want.

So do you think of Valentine’s Day as a good thing or more of a stressor? I would say it’s twofold; Valentine’s Day gets a bad rap, generally speaking, and it’s a stressor for a lot of people who already have relationship issues. I hear a lot of, ‘How do I get in the mood?’ or ‘How do I fake it when I’m not already there?’ And that’s the issue. What is it about your relationship that has to be adressed that is making you feel that way? Oftentimes, the female will want the male to be romantic, more doting, and this is a day when it encourages those people who aren’t naturally inclined. But I think it’s great, because it gives them permission to do so. I look at what’s going on that’s deeper than the gift you were gonna give. What our partners really want is our presence. They want to feel wanted, and people get so caught up in the gifts or the dinner reservation. The pressure for it to be perfect is challenging, and it does bring up what’s not working. Any advice for the lovesick or lovelorn? Oftentimes I see people and couples speak different love languages. They want to recieve love and give love in different ways. But what I like about a day like Valentine’s Day is that it makes you grateful. It’s a day where you can show gratitude to the person you’re in a relationship with. I’ve been in relationships, I’ve been single, I’ve been divorced—I get it. It can amplify the feeling of not being in a relationship, but relationships can even mean a friend, and humans need touch. I think that whatever you feel your relationship is lacking is what you should be giving. The easiest way to do that is to model; if I’m wanting to feel more emotional or to be shared with more, instead of shaming or criticizing, I’m going to do that myself.

Exploring Greek Wine at Vinaigrette
ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
@THEFORKSFR
Popular downtown eatery serves up exciting series BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
hen I heard about the series of three wine dinners, one each focused on Greek, sparkling and Portuguese wines and hosted by Vinaigrette, I was excited at the prospect of attending the first. Vinaigrette has always been tightly focused on fresh salads and lighter meats highlighted by plenty of vegetables and offset by a small but complementary list of wines, beers and juices, but it was still a nice surprise to see a dinner focused on Greek wines, which to me are exciting but a little inaccessible to Santa Fe for two reasons. The first is that Greece is still pulling itself out of a deep financial crisis, aided by the EU, but ultimately still handicapped in terms of how to best export and market its wines abroad. While its domestic wine culture has been succesful in terms of developing unique, regional styles of wine that stay true to their point of origin, getting those wines into the glasses of wine drinkers internationally is still a challenge. Hopefully the export wine industry in Greece will continue to thrive, but for now, most American consumers are in the dark about the potential for Greek vintages, and that is a shame, because it is driven by beautiful cultural traditions that are worthy of sharing and exploring in the modern world. The wines that do make it out of the country are representative of large firms and cooperatives rather than small regional producers, and tend to be val-
ue-driven rather than boutique or luxury products. But this is why a restaurant like Vinaigrette can throw such a dinner, where the ticket price per person is only $45 and includes four wines. The Greek wines available in the United States are not expensive or inaccessible for a wine drinker looking for value, and are certainly enticing for a drinker looking for new flavors and experiences. These wines are priced very approachably, from Vinaigrette’s standpoint; that is to say, the portion of my ticket that went to wine was quite manageable, freeing up the restaurant to deliver quality food and service. I was satisfied that I had gotten my money’s worth in terms of the total package of the dinner. The restaurant aimed for a smaller, more intimate style of tasting, and the staggered seatings at 6 pm, 7 pm and 8 pm allowed the sommelier (Philip de Give, on loan from distributor Southern Wine and Spirits) to come to the table and talk a little about each wine before the course came out. It had an easy, natural flow. The food was light and fresh and, while paying tribute to Greek culinary traditions, was clearly representative of the house style. To talk a little about the food: It was simple but pleasing with grilled octopus with tabouleh, a feta-brined chicken breast with lemon potato and a green goddess dressing plus little lamb meatballs called keftedes served in tzatziki sauce. Dessert was poached pear with honeyed yogurt ice cream, and all of this was accompanied by a series of fresh, fruity but not heavy, zingy Mediterranean-styled
Plum and smoke: The 2015 Kouros agiorgitiko from Nemea.
wines. I say Mediterranean-styled because there was definitely body and alcohol in the wines but not a lot of oak or processing; the flavors were grape-driven and very pure, and clearly very food-friendly. My personal favorite was the 2015 Boutari moschofilero from Mantinia, a floral-scented white with zingy acidity, and my companion enjoyed the 2015 Kouros agiorgitiko from Nemea, which was a red grape flavored like plum and smoke. For $45, it was well done; the service was not intrusive, and the sommelier was personable and fun, although I imagine if the dinners become more heavily attended the intimate format might have to change to something formal. The second reason Greek wines are inaccessible to the people of Santa Fe is the nature of the New Mexican wine market. Thanks to the 21st Amendment, the federal government turned over the control of the distribution of alcohol to the states, and this created a muddle of rules and regulations with which we as a nation still grapple to this day. In New Mexico, restaurants can only buy wines from licensed distributors, some of whom are
small and localized only to our state, and some of whom have the means of multistage distribution, including warehousing and shipping wine. But this means that only the wines that are seen as worthy of large-scale distribution in New Mexico, which are priced competitively and cheaply but will also sell hundreds of cases, will make it into your glass in Santa Fe. So, while a trendy wine bar in New York can pour assyrtiko from Santorini by the glass and be ahead of the curve, it could be several years before that wine could show up here. But restaurants like Vinaigrette are trying to drum up at least some local interest by thinking outside the box, and I find that very exciting. I want to see more of that in Santa Fe.

SANTA FE FILM FESTIVAL Santa Fe gets lucky in the film department, both as host to more screens than seems fair and in how we have two—coun’t em, two— multi-day film festivals. The Santa Fe Film Festival is upon us, cinephiles, and from Wednesday through Sunday (that’s Feb. 7-11), screenings, lectures, Q&A sessions and fabulous food and drink abound across our fair city. And though we could never possibly see everything on offer, we’ve gathered a number of films at random for review. Get the full schedule: santafefilmfestival.com.

+ CHILE REALLY IS THE BEST, THEY’RE RIGHT
- IT’S “CHILE” WITH NO “S!”; EVERYTHING ELSE
It’s hard to know what’s more offensive about Off the Menu—that its utterly predictable plot becomes painfully obvious within the first 10 minutes, or that a film hinging on the legacy, tradition and flavor of green chile so irritatingly refers to New Mexico’s favorite veggie as the no-one-actually-says-it-thatway plural: “chiles.” We follow Joel Flanagan (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend star Santino Fontana, who is usually fantastic elsewhere but is beholden to a poor script here), the heir to a Taco Bell-esque fast food Mexican joint. Joel is more interested in training for the Iron Man and getting paid to do nothing, but when the company CEO (also his sister, played by Kristen Dalton) starts sending emissaries across the country to basically steal regional recipes, he’s forced to visit smalltown New Mexico. Here, a young chef named Javiera (Dania Ramirez) lovingly crafts delectable dishes in

originality and a sickeningly precious song over the opening credits and it’s hard to recommend this to anyone. Check out the other stuff at the fest, absolutely, but try to forget this one existed in the first place. (Alex De Vore) The Screen, NR, 96 min. THE SOUNDING
7
+ ACTING; SHAKESPEAREAN LANGUAGE; THAT A-HA MOMENT
- PACING; PLOT HOLES
Does silence create more room for the mind to think? This is the question I asked myself upon finishing film festival circuit darling The Sounding. Filmmaker Catherine Eaton (Person of Interest), who wrote, starred in and directed the film, plays Liv, a middle-aged woman who chooses to stop all verbal communication, relying instead on rudimentary sign language. Liv’s grandfather (Harris Yulin, Scarface, Ghostbusters II) has acted as her caretaker, but invites an old friend named Michael (Teddy Sears from The Flash and Masters
of Sex) to take over his duties once he learns he’ll soon die. But when Liv starts unexpectedly speaking in Shakespearean language, Michael places her in a psychiatric hospital. The Sounding is ultimately confusing amid frustratingly rushed pacing and narrative choices. We’re supposed to fall for the characters even as we’re still trying to get to know them. The film is lucky enough to have great actors like Frankie Faison (The Wire), however, and capable directing from Eaton has earned it numerous awards from film festivals across the country. Still, it seems like viewers struggle for breathing room throughout. We must give the movie props as its ending does aim us toward a deeper truth or “a-ha!” moment; namely, the goodness that comes from pain and death—but by frantically pushing through the material without leaving the space or timeline for its message to hit home, The Sounding misses the mark.

+ ENGAGING STORY; NM LANDSCAPES - STILTED ACTING; RAMPANT STEREOTYPES
In a based-on-a-true-story whodunit filmed gorgeously in Northern New Mexico and featuring an engaging storyline, Making a Killing is definitely an entertaining way to spend 106 minutes of your life. Beyond that, though, don’t look too hard for profundity. In fictional Cardinal County (which looks an awful lot like San Miguel County), priest-mayor-mortician-possible coin collector Arthur Herring (an affable Mike Starr) and Vincent, his brother who looks nothing like him (Jude Moran) seem pretty shady—well, as shady as a sweetheart priest and his baby-faced sidekick can be. They have an amorphous entanglement (that involves mason jars of gold teeth) with recently paroled pedophile Lloyd Mickey (Great Scott! It’s Christopher Lloyd!). When Lloyd is killed, investigator Orlando Hudson (Michael Jai White, who is beautiful, but who you probably know from nowhere unless you’ve seen stripper flick Chocolate City or 1997’s Spawn) is called in to crack the case. There’s also a fine contribution from Aida Turturro, best remembered as Tony’s insufferable sister Janice from The Sopranos—here only slightly less obnoxious as Connie the diner waitress. So, there are a lot of characters. There are many, many more very important (?) people we didn’t even mention there. Thing is, though, we learn virtually nothing about any of them. Vincent acquires slight depth as we move along, but other than that, the characters remain cardboard cutouts of archetypes. But it’s kind of okay, because the action-packed plot clips along fast enough for us to not really care too much. We get the feeling writer-director Devin Hume (whose previous credits seem heavy on morticians and Westerns) has never actually heard cops talk to one another,
After 28 Years
but the jauntiness of those campy scenes overruled the improbability. Not to mention that the climax of the film comes in a scene drenched with monsoon rains, which was particularly soothing in this dry winter; then it ends on a note where it seems the writers were like, “So, think No Country for Old Men—but silly!” This one’s fun and aesthetically pleasing—if nothing else.

LOWELL MEYER; TYLER’S ACTING
- WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE’S PHONE
Aisha Tyler made a movie. And people in Hollywood seem to love it. And I love Aisha Tyler. And there’s my predicament: As much as I think Tyler is an underappreciated talent and a vital addition to the body of female directors, I didn’t love this movie. It was … fine. In fairness, Tyler (who plays Lana Kane in Archer) picked a really hard movie to make. The guy-in-the-car-on-the-phone genre is pretty limiting. Plus, Stephen Knight directed a brilliant performance from Tom Hardy in 2013’s Locke that set the bar awfully high. Armed with a script from writer Emmett Hughes (The O’Briens), who also stars, Tyler introduces us to Tristan Blake, an on-the-edge star with a history of abusing most substances. Simultaneously. While the movie takes place entirely inside a vehicle, it actually spans a year and transports us from a Porsche to a Land Rover. Blake is headed home to his Southernbelle-doctor girlfriend. The calls he takes and makes on the way through Los Angeles bring him to the brink of collapse. Blake is a guy who’s fought hard for his career and, we learn, finally seems to know what he wants. How much we end up caring for the guy is up for debate, and it’s what a film like this hinges on. Hughes and Tyler wisely

SANTA FE FILM FESTIVAL include hefty doses of his personal life and, it seems, try to keep the Hollywood stuff in check. But by the end of the movie, which has a purposeful plot, I just didn’t care a lot. Movie reviews are, to a large extent, subjective. Don’t let this opinion stop you from going. It’s one guy’s thoughts and Hughes’ performance may resonate much more with you than it did with me. Tyler’s acting is a strong point, it may also be fun to try to pick out some of the myriad voice cameos. And since Tyler and Hughes are going to be at the Santa Fe Independent Film Festival to talk about how to navigate such a tricky piece of moviemaking, your risk may be rewarded. (Matt Grubs) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 85 min. MATA HARI: THE NAKED SPY
5
+ GREAT ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE - SHALLOW ANALYSIS OF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION
The Naked Spy shines a light on Mata Hari, a name most of us know but a figure about whom many are clueless: a famous Parisian performer presenting as a Malaysian dancer at the start of the 20th century, later executed by France for treason. Mata Hari was actually a Dutch woman named Margaretha Geertruida Zelle, and the documentary’s narrators— mostly academic experts in European cultural history—track her story as she leaves her abusive husband as a young woman in order to create a life of scandal, glamor and intrigue in Paris. Zelle is referred to by her stage name throughout the film, but there’s little attention given to the early development of the character. We’re informed by the narrators that Zelle was first inspired to dance during a stay in Indonesia, where her then-husband, a soldier, was briefly stationed, and where she encountered the ritualistic dances of Indigenous women on the islands. She took those moves and created her own sexy, proto-burlesque act
that eventually catapulted her to the top of French society. Zelle’s shtick was what we would now call a successful case of cultural appropriation—which, in one of its most problematic forms, found performers of European descent (like Zelle) taking the cultural customs of colonized and oppressed people and spinning them into fame and fortune. This documentary treats Zelle’s appropriation of Javanese culture as the eccentric quirkiness of a genius, hardly scratching the surface of the power dynamics at play. Further, it celebrates Zelle’s promiscuity, but doesn’t unpack how her sexualization is tied up in the exotification of non-European women. Once World War I breaks out, Zelle entangles herself into a web of espionage, agreeing to spy on France for the Germans—then agreeing to spy on the Germans for France, a double-cross that led to her eventual execution at the hands of the French. The Naked Spy is ultimately about a world that grows complicated and perilous enough to swallow somebody once regarded as larger-than-life; but, in a film set to the backdrop of imperialist war, it does a poor job tracing the broader power dynamics of the era. As an archival

project, it succeeds. Pity, then, that it is an overall shallow look at a problematic icon. (Aaron Cantú) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 78 min. SINATRA IN PALM SPRINGS

+ CAMERA WORK; LEATHER-BACKED RESTAURANT BOOTHS
- CELEBRATION OF WHITE WEALTH
Director and cinematographer Leo Zahn thinks Frank Sinatra is the cat’s pajamas. So, he found every living person he could to say so into a camera, then interspersed the “interviews” with archival footage, some stunning black-and-white photos and slow, panoramic sweeps of Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage, California— the desert oases where, for the better part of four decades, Sinatra could be Sinatra without the attendant interferences of his outsized celebrity. The aptly titled Sinatra in Palm Springs is Zahn’s second ode to the haughty, unaffordable area, following 2016’s Desert Maverick, which is about William Francis Cody, the Coachella Valley’s favorite modernist architect. Restauranteurs gush about how Old Blue Eyes would come into their joints and get hammered with mobsters and the rest of his crew. Tom Dreesen, the 92-minute film’s most insufferable voice, recalls an evening cruise through the desert, presumably after many Jack Daniels on the rocks, during which he traded verses of “Strangers in the Night” with Sinatra, with whom the comedian toured many times. Meanwhile, Barbara Sinatra, the last of the late crooner’s four wives, provides a steady, believable narrative for why the Southern California desert tickled her husband of 22 years so, and Harpo Marx’s son growls about how cool it was to kick it with the Chairman of the Board as a kid. The film contains no revelations: Sinatra drank, had a temper, got pissed off when John F Kennedy didn’t stay in one of his bungalows, gave anonymously to charities, played lots of golf with the

likes of Richard Nixon and Bob Hope and helped found a country club that accepted Jewish members. But Zahn dug up some great old photos, including one of Sinatra and his then-wife Ava Gardner from the early 1950s in which she’s holding a button attempting to draft Adlai Stevenson into running for president. And as a cinematographer, Zahn nails the desert—this is, we think fittingly, a pretty film to watch from the camera’s perspective. If you’re the type who catches Rat Pack cover band shows, this little doc is for you; same if you don’t know the story of Sinatra holing up in Palm Springs steakhouses. If not, just hit the Sinatra section of the iTunes store. (Jeff Proctor) The Screen, NR, 92 min.

HERMAN was found hungry and cold by a kind person in a Santa Fe neighborhood who transferred him to Felines & Friends to find his forever home. TEMPERAMENT: HERMAN is still a little shy, but very sweet. He would probably do best in an adult home with another cat companion. HERMAN is a handsome boy with a short classic tabby coat. AGE: born approx. 1/15/17.

MIZ KITTY’s human recently passed away and no family or friends were able to adopt her. She was taken to SFAS for placement, but when tests showed exposure to the FELV virus, F&F was asked to take her. TEMPERAMENT: MIZ KITTY is very sweet and gentle. She quickly warms up to individual attention and would thrive in an adult home where she is the only pet. MIZ KITTY has a rich orange tabby coat with tuxedo markings. AGE: born approx. 8/7/11

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of February 7th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): British athlete Liam Collins is an accomplished hurdler. In 2017, he won two medals at the World Masters Athletics Indoor Championships in South Korea. Collins is also a stuntman and street performer who does shows in which he hurtles over barriers made of chainsaws and leaps blindfolded through flaming hoops. For the foreseeable future, you may have a dual capacity with some resemblances to his. You could reach a high point in expressing your skills in your chosen field, and also branch out into extraordinary or flamboyant variations on your specialty.
with 618 million more acres of croplands than had previously been thought. That’s 15 percent higher than earlier assessments! In the coming months, Libra, I’m predicting a comparable expansion in your awareness of how many resources you have available. I bet you will also discover that you’re more fertile than you have imagined.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): When he was 32, the man who would later be known as Dr. Seuss wrote his first kid’s book, And To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. His efforts to find a readership went badly at first. Twenty-seven publishers rejected his manuscript. On the verge of abandoning his quest, he ran into an old college classmate on the street. The friend, who had recently begun working at Vanguard Press, expressed interest in the book. Voila! Mulberry Street got published. Dr. Seuss later said that if, on that lucky day, he had been strolling on the other side of the street, his career as an author of children’s books might never have happened. I’m telling you this tale, Taurus, because I suspect your chances at experiencing a comparable stroke of luck in the coming weeks will be extra high. Be alert! GEMINI (May 21-June 20): A survey of British Christians found that most are loyal to just six of the Ten Commandments. While they still think it’s bad to, say, steal and kill and lie, they don’t regard it as a sin to revere idols, work on the Sabbath, worship other gods, or use the Lord’s name in a curse. In accordance with the astrological omens, I encourage you to be inspired by their rebellion. The coming weeks will be a favorable time to re-evaluate your old traditions and belief systems, and then discard anything that no longer suits the new person you’ve become.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In 1939, Scorpio comic book writer Bob Kane co-created the fictional science-fiction superhero Batman. The “Caped Crusader” eventually went on to become an icon, appearing in blockbuster movies as well as TV shows and comic books. Kane said one of his inspirations for Batman was a flying machine envisioned by Leonard da Vinci in the early 16th century. The Italian artist and inventor drew an image of a winged glider that he proposed to build for a human being to wear. I bring this up, Scorpio, because I think you’re in a phase when you, like Kane, can draw inspiration from the past. Go scavenging through history for good ideas! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): I was watching a four-player poker game on TV. The folksy commentator said that the assortment of cards belonging to the player named Mike was “like Anna Kournikova,” because “it looks great but it never wins.” He was referring to the fact that during her career as a professional tennis player, Anna Kournikova was feted for her physical beauty but never actually won a singles title. This remark happens to be a useful admonishment for you Sagittarians in the coming weeks. You should avoid relying on anything that looks good but never wins. Put your trust in influences that are a bit homely or unassuming but far more apt to contribute to your success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A Chinese man named Wang Kaiyu bought two black-furred puppies from a stranger and took them home to his farm. As the months passed by, Wang noticed that his pets seemed unusually hungry and aggressive. They would sometimes eat his chickens. When they were two years old, CANCER (June 21-July 22): While serving in the U.S. he finally figured out that they weren’t dogs, but rather Navy during World War II, Don Karkos lost the sight in Asian black bears. He turned them over to a local animal his right eye after being hit by shrapnel. Sixty-four years rescue center.

A misunanalysis suggests that you’ll undergo a healing in which derstanding about what you’re taking care of? Now is a good time to make adjustments and corrections. something you lost will return or be returned. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The candy cap mushroom, whose scientific name is Lactarius rubidus, is a burnt orange color. It’s small to medium-sized and has a convex cap. But there its resemblance to other mushrooms ends. When dried out, it tastes and smells like maple syrup. You can grind it into a powder and use it to sweeten cakes and cookies and custards. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, this unusual member of the fungus family can serve as an apt metaphor for you right now. You, too, have access to a resource or influence that is deceptive, but in a good way: offering a charm and good flavor different from what its outer appearance might indicate.
TV shows. But in the 1970s, when he was in his forties, he also spent quality time impersonating a banana in a series of commercials for Bic Banana Ink Crayons. So apparently he wasn’t overly attached to his dignity. Pride didn’t interfere with his ability to experiment. In his pursuit of creative expression, he valued the arts of playing and having fun. I encourage you to be inspired by his example during the coming weeks, Aquarius.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): According to ancient Greek writer Herodotus, Persians didn’t hesitate to deliberate about important matters while drunk. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A grandfather from New However, they wouldn’t finalize any intoxicated decision Jersey decided to check the pockets of an old shirt he until they had a chance to re-evaluate it while sober. didn’t wear very often.
