There were other ways that SFR could have reported on this non-story. They could have fronted with Johnston’s decision to withdraw and her statement about it, and noted that “in an apparently unrelated development, a police report has been filed...” or some other approach that gave this allegation the weight it deserves—almost nothing.

It’s noteworthy that...the former campaign manager asked not to be named “out of concern for her work on future and current campaigns.” Yet Johnston’s name is fronted in this story and hers is the reputation that has the most to lose.

picture, it was very cool and meant no harm for anyone.

‘BEST PICTURE, MY ASS’ How disrespectful is this. People cry for respect then this...WTF is wrong with the Reporter allowing such crap? Best picture, my ass. The Cross of the Martyrs is a religious symbol not a war symbol!!

GILBERT ROMERO SANTA FE

RESPECT THE OTHER We can grow together stronger then apart. “1680,” a photo by Hunter Wahpepah, unity or power. The image displays a Native American man in between the cross, and the staff of his beliefs from his people. I can see the beauty in the image of unity. The man is not displaying dominance over the cross, but rather showing empathy, using the cross to lean on.

He shows respect to the cross by showing his touch on the top, but also signifies that his beliefs are important as well. He does not dominate the cross, but rather shows they are one, and will be able to grow together in peace, like there was so many years ago. The history of the Native Americans and Spanish missionaries was a blood-filled time, and this may signify the end of an era, with growth and prosperity together, as long as all people and religions respect the other. We can grow stronger as one.

ZIAMARA METCALF-ESCOVEDO STUDENT, ACADEMY FOR TECHNOLOGY AND THE CLASSICS

COOL, COOL I really liked [Hunter Wapepah’s “1680” photograph] on that cross because, in my opinion, it was very symbolic to unity. If you know the history, it can be very offensive to some people, but to me, it was really cool and you could tell the point of the picture was not to assert dominance of who is better than who but to kind of show the unity between the two and how it was set up really good because with one little move it could have been very offensive if he would, let’s say, hold it with two hands, that could have been offensive. But in this

I thought that the photograph “1680” by Hunter Wahpepah was extremely powerful and had a strong message. To me it symbolized growing together throughout oppression and worse.

THOMAS BACA GUITERREZ VIA FACEBOOK

REPRESENT The photograph “1680” by Hunter Wahpepah is a powerful capture of pride as well as religious unity. The Native American man that proudly stands on top of the cross with the Native American tribal stick rises above a Catholic symbol and rises above the city of Santa Fe. The purpose seems as if the photographer is trying to represent all the Native Americans who were killed or lost their homes because of white Catholic settlers in America. The fact that he holds the cross for support as he raises the spiritual item demonstrates forgiveness and unity, that he is willing to rise above the past.

It’s unfortunate, but things like this will continue to divide us.

I feel that the Santa Fe Reporter owes the people of Santa Fe an apology. They have a big hand in this division that they are causing. They should change their name to the Dividing Reporter! Such disrespect. Santa Fe is not what it used to be.

This is definitely not showing love, respect and unity to one another.

ument dedicated to the memory of those Franciscan Priests that were killed during the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. Now I and everyone knows that New Mexico history cannot be changed but should be learned from so that history does not repeat itself....

When I see a photo like this I know that there is still a lot of healing, educating and dialogue that must continue in order that someday peace will reign once again here in Santa Fe. Then hopefully the wrongs of the past will finally be put to rest and all cultures will thrive here in Santa Fe. Imagine a Hispanic standing over a sacred Native American site with a sword drawn. Not a good picture and not a picture I want to see. For years and years there has tried to be dialogue so that each side is heard and respected and hopefully appeased by the solutions agreed upon.

I don’t agree that this photo should be the front page of the Santa Fe Reporter but again this is the First Amendment, freedom of speech and the SFR is entitled to run whichever picture they deem worthy of the cover.

COULD BE INSULTING I think this image...of the Cross of the Martyrs could be disturbing to a few people because of religion.

This is insulting to people because some may not know the history of Santa Fe and this may disturb them because the man is standing on a cross, which may not be...respectful to be standing on something too sacred for people.

KILLEY GENDER STUDENT, ATC

WAY TOO FAR This is one of the most disrespectful pictures I have ever seen. How the Reporter has allowed this is beyond me. The Cross of the Martyrs is a religious symbol and should be respected! This has definitely taken things way too far.

Respect is what is lacking and as long as there is none, there will not be peace.

If any of us were to go and stand on top of something that was sacred to someone else’s culture, we would be

KNOW THE HISTORY I feel like this picture would be absolutely inspiring to the people who know the history behind it, while other kinds would dislike it as they get the wrong message about it and thinking it’s an insult to a religion. I like it though!

The winner of the art piece was beautiful. I think it shows the powers of history and how they both need each other.

It shows the power of both of these things and how they could have been together and fought together instead of fightfight ing each other. ...Both had to go through the losses that happened that day. And how they’ve gotten stronger over time, how the Indians were finally able to stay somewhere and not be bothered...how Natives recovered after their friends, family killed and homes destroyed. It’s amazing how they still kept going and restarted everything to move on in their life and suffer and get stronger.

Santa Fe United Soccer Club hopes to grow to 300 players by the end of 2020.

n the Rio Grande School’s small, colorful gym, two dozen kids aged 6 to 9 run soccer drills while coaches guide them in a mix of Spanish and English.

It’s one of the first practices since this fledgling soccer club, Santa Fe United, became official with the New Mexico Youth Soccer Association.

But it’s not just any club—it’s the city’s first nonprofit one that makes playing completely cost-free or almost free for every child.

The lack of options and the high cost of registration fees, uniforms, tournament entries and travel finally drove one Southside dad, Omar Reyes, to create Santa Fe United in September last year.

It earned approval as a club and nonprofit at the beginning of the year, officially creating two separate teams called the Strikers.

Santa Fe United was born out of a smaller team that had already been playing together for two years with La Liga, a local league. But when only part of the team could afford to join a club and play in a larger tournament, Reyes decided enough was enough and an affordable option had to be created for more competitive exposure for the kids.

“Some of the clubs here and in Albuquerque charge anywhere from about $300 to about $1,000 for you to

Southside parents form nonprofit soccer club to make the sport available to everyone

play on their teams, and with the Latino community, a lot of parents have one, two or even three kids that they want to play soccer,” says Reyes, one of the seven board members and the father of the team captain. “That adds up to $2,000, $3,000. Some of the parents can’t afford that kind of money to pay for the kids to play soccer.”

Making playing free is an unusual goal in an American soccer club, some of which price out lower-income families.

While high schools in the area have soccer teams, elementary and middle schools don’t. Kids can play in leagues such as La Liga and the Santa Fe American Youth Soccer Organization and pay less, but they are only able to compete in local games and not in a bigger tournament without joining a club. The Rio Rapids Northern Soccer Club, one of the city’s largest, charges $450 per player for the fall season and $330 for the spring season.

Reyes says another unique aspect of Santa Fe United is that it will accept any child, regardless of whether they have ever even touched a soccer ball before.

Although Reyes says the team has struggled to raise enough money in the last few months, it was able to pay for all 33 kids to play in a tournament in Albuquerque in February—which they

won. Parents only had to pay $10 per child.

Other things are looking up for the team as well. In the spring, Santa Fe United will have its own field, thanks to an agreement reached between the club and the school district.

The school district will absorb the costs to restore the abandoned field at

the former Milagro Middle School on Zia Road and turn it into a soccer field to use for free. The club will only have to pay the facility use application fees.

Gabe Rippel, a born and raised Santa Fean and the parent of one of the players, says it needs “a lot of work.”

The school district tells SFR the field will be ready by the time spring practice begins.

It’s something everyone on the team is looking forward to. Reyes says all the

NEWS

players are from the Southside, and until the field is fixed up, parents have to drive half an hour north to practice in the Rio Grande School’s tiny gym east of downtown. The new practice spot would be five miles and 15 minutes closer to home.

Santa Fe United has ambitious growth goals. To support the kids playing for free in the long term, the club wants to start an adult team as well. The registration and tournament fees for the adults will go toward making sure the children don’t pay.

Reyes also hopes that the club will grow to 300 players by the end of 2020 and bring in more donations from the community.

Until now, parents have been “knocking on a lot of doors” for fundraising, but not a lot have been opening, Reyes says.

Despite that, the team has reimbursed parents for all expenses they’ve paid.

None of the board members are compensated for their time.

“There’s not a single dollar that’s been paid other than to a parent as a reimbursement,” Rippel says. “It feels good.”

The club also had difficulty finding a place to play before Rio Grande offered its gym. All of the schools on the Southside told the club there was no time or space for the Strikers to play in their facilities over the winter.

Santa Fe United is not the only club having a hard time finding a well-maintained place to play—it’s a widespread problem, even in a city like Santa Fe with many soccer fans, leagues and players.

The five soccer fields at Santa Fe’s Municipal Recreation Sports Complex serve more than 6,000 players, spread over the city’s four leagues, plus casual users, schools and soccer clubs, project advocate Pilar Faulkner told SFR in August as the city and county worked together to raise money to improve the fields, which have been in need of repair for some time.

Faulkner told SFR the original timeline for completing the improvements at the complex would be “sometime in early summer, late spring of 2020” and she also hoped there will be four new turf fields built at the MRC on Santa Fe’s west side sometime between 2020 and 2022.

Faulkner says that those are still the “target” dates for both projects, especially since the Legislature gave $50,000 to the city specifically for the soccer complex, which would pay the contractor for the improvements.

Plans are still preliminary, but development proposal likely to include hundreds of apartments around Zia Station

BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

The 20 acres around the station are privately owned.

he owners of the land around the Zia Road train station say it’s almost time to launch another effort at redeveloping the site.

Although the property has been largely vacant for the last 20 years, developer Merritt Brown tells SFR that during the next decade the market will likely support townhouses and apartments there along with some commercial buildings and a parking garage.

The area has a complex history: Brown’s firm, SF Brown, a partner in the property ownership entity of Zia Station LLC, negotiated the purchase of 20 acres along the railroad tracks west of St. Francis Drive on both sides of Zia Road in pieces between 1999 and 2007, including one sale conditioned on demolition of a pumice plant that once stood there. The state agreed to build one of its Rail Runner Express stations on the site in 2008, but it didn’t open to riders until 2017.

On a parallel track, in 2004, SF Brown and partners secured general plan amendments from the city to change the designated uses on portions of the property and, in 2008, drew up a plan for businesses and homes. The project then stalled in the face of economic downturn and other conditions.

Now, in order to move ahead, Zia Station LLC needs to apply to the city to establish zoning in the whole tract. After that, the builders don’t plan on seeking variances to what would be allowed under the city code.

“We want to operate by the rules the city has established,” says Brown. “And what happened 10 years ago is not even really relevant.”

The developers hired JenkinsGavin consultants to get a sense from area residents of how neighborhood associations might react to the proposal. Representatives of the adjacent Candlelight Neighborhood Association didn’t respond to SFR’s request for an interview by press time.

The first formal step for the project is a preliminary development plan, and Zia Station LLC expects to make application in the late spring or early summer. Formal Early Neighborhood Notification meetings would be required after that.

“We’ve learned a lot from the discussions and we’ve got information from the current market: What has changed, and what’s the highest and best use,” says Jennifer Jenkins, agent for the developer.

The goal for now, she says, is to seek approval from the city to build a prescribed amount of homes and commercial development, then refine those numbers downward. Rough calculations put the number at 280 apartments and 17,000 square feet of commercial space on the north side of Zia and 120 apartments, a row of townhouses, and 10,000 square feet of commercial space along with a parking garage on the south side.

“We would get zoning for a maximum intensity for different uses and then have flexibility in a final development plan,” Jenkins tells SFR. The proposed development would also likely entail moving the intersection of Galisteo Road further west at Zia, Brown says. Traffic studies are under way to evaluate the potential impact on several nearby intersections, including the other end of Galisteo where it hits Rodeo—near the 188-unit Broadstone apartments that have not yet opened.

Zia Station is the only stop on New Mexico’s commuter train line that’s built on private land. It’s a kiss-and-ride station now. Yet, the plan has always been for the landowners to add adjacent development.

Tony Sylvester, planning and development manager for the Rio Metro transit district that operates the train on behalf of the state, says the ridership at the station grew by 14,110 trips between fiscal years ‘18 and ‘19, for a total ridership of 17,350.

With parking for riders, those numbers could go even higher.

“We are always looking at the operation of a transit system as not just the transportation role the system can provide...other than the private automobile, but it’s also trying to promote efficient land use and economic development,” he says.

Though he notes Rio Metro doesn’t have any inside information about the proposal and did not have a position, Sylvester says it’s likely such a development would increase ridership for several reasons.

“We always consider these [as] local land use decisions, and clearly they are,” he says. “While we believe that doing some development near the station would create additional ridership for us and...help employees or people who live there leave their car at home and use transit to get to where they need, that generalization is probably about as far as I can go.”

ew topics stir up as much emotion among Santa Fe parents as school closures.

In November, when the Board of Education for Santa Fe Public Schools proposed to consolidate Nava and EJ Martinez elementary schools and close Acequia Madre, hundreds of teachers, parents and students packed school board meetings to plead for their schools to remain open.

To their relief, the board didn’t make the call. Instead, it adopted a resolution by Board President Kate Noble to conduct a comprehensive study on how to improve equity and “reimagine” the district to better meet the needs and desires of students.

“Educational equity is the intentional allocation of resources, instruction, and opportunities according to need,” the plan reads in part. It’s a lofty effort to ensure every student can “succeed in school and life,” recognizing that students start in different places and have different opportunities based on factors including race and economic status.

A meme circulating among educators illustrates the concept: In two side-by-side images, three children of different height watch a baseball game from behind a fence.

In the first, each child stands on an equal sized box to help them see. For the tallest child, the box is unnecessary. For the child in the middle, it provides just the right boost. But the smallest child still can’t see, even with the box. In the second image the tallest kid doesn’t get a box at all and the smallest kid gets two, so that all three are at the same height and can see comfortably.

This is the difference between equality and equity: How big are the boxes and who gets them?

It’s one way to explain the district’s task to give every student the same view—an effective education.

The board has put off closure decisions twice before in the last decade only to revive them at a later date, and critics argue the district has convened numerous committees and studies that have led to little meaningful change.

This month, SFPS Superintendent Veronica Garcia talked to the school board about how she wants to craft the study.

Members voted to hold a “study session” before taking a vote.

November’s proposal was the first time that the district has considered closures when it was not in a financial crisis. Former board member Maureen Cashmon, who introduced the idea at the end of her elected term, says the time for hard choices is before the next crisis hits and demographic trends make eventual closures inevitable.

SANTA FE SCHOOLS ARE TRYING TO GIVE EVERY STUDENT THE SAME VIEW

A well-traveled and oft-adapted meme shows the task ahead for Santa Fe Public Schools: How to imagine the system, and allocate resources, for the best view for all.

As Santa Fe ages and the birth rate continues to drop, SFPS predicts it will likely have to contend with a declining student population, which means less per-student money from the state each year. The population of young families is moving rapidly south as the northeastern part of the city becomes less and less affordable, and the district is also losing students to charter and private schools. Long-standing inequities have begun to improve in the last decade, yet they still plague the district.

These factors are the baseline for the district’s study, which, if approved by the school board, will take place over the next year.

Repeated cycle, missing process

The elementary schools targeted for potential closure in November were on the list primarily because of their aging facilities and declining enrollment. They’re on the north side of the city and have far fewer students than their counterparts across town.

Yet, the school board has been erratic and reactionary in its approach to closing schools. For many parents and administrators, the lack of a set of best practices for the decisions remains frustrating.

Alexandra Van Camp, who teaches sixth grade at EJ Martinez, tells SFR about a day four years ago when the school board notified parents and students the school was slated for closure. It was a Monday— the same day students began standardized PARCC testing. The following year, the district cited low test scores as a reason the school should again be on a closure list. This time around, neither parents nor administrators at any of the schools up for consolidation were notified until just days before the vote.

The most recent elementary closures were actually executed a decade ago, when

Class size and personal interaction with adults are among factors that educators say matter for student success.

They tell SFR the consolidation did not have as much of an impact on the overall academic performance of students as the redrawing of boundaries for which students would attend the school later, bringing in children at varied academic achievement levels.

“Of course it took a little time to get used to bringing these schools together and things were a little difficult in the transition,” says Vigil, “but what impacted us most was the rezoning, because it really changed the demographics of the school.”

Armijo says one of the things that worked best was letting the kids and staff

in 2010, the school board consolidated Kaune, Alvord, and Larragoite into Aspen Community Magnet School, a K-8 that opened at the site of the vacant Alameda Middle School on the city’s west side. The decision came as the school board sought to trim $6.9 million from its budget due to a shortfall in state funds. Other proposals for cuts included slashing hours for nurses, art programs and athletics, as well as increasing class sizes.

Officials estimated that closing the three small elementary schools would save the district $1 million per year.

But the new school that came out of the consolidation also got off to a rocky start.

According to an analysis by SFR in 2011, Larragoite would have received an A under a newly adopted statewide ranking system and Alvord would receive a B, based on the proficiency levels of their students. Aspen maintained a D rating until 2017, when the state stopped using the grading system for schools. Proficiency on standardized test scores continues to hover around 15-17%, which is about average for the district.

To some worried parents of students at the schools proposed for closure last November, these numbers present a cautionary tale of all that could go wrong if their children are moved into a bigger consolidated school.

Teachers who went through the consolidation process say the reality is more complicated. Vivian Vigil and Carmina Armijo both teach third grade at Aspen.

Before the consolidation, Vigil taught kindergarten at Larragoite and Armijo taught special ed at Alvord.

Aspen Community School opened after the district closed and combined three other schools.

from each school meet ahead of the consolidation. Next time around, she says, she would make this an even more intentional process.

Whether the consolidation was a success or a failure is difficult to say. The school took on innovative endeavors such as a science-literacy curriculum supported by the Los Alamos National Laboratory Foundation and was able to maintain more full-time support staff. The $1 million in operational budget savings is hard to track because the district spent the money keeping nurses and teachers employed and programs afloat.

In 2010 the school board also considered consolidating Acequia Madre and Atalaya, a move that could have saved the district thousands. Yet the board voted to postpone the matter. Acequia Madre had already been slated for closure in 2006 until parents brought the issue to the attention of then Gov. Bill Richardson, who told his secretary of education to instruct SFPS not to close the school. At the time, board member Frank Montaño told SFR this was an example of how “a handful of people with power and political influence are holding the district back from doing what’s right for the great majority of kids.”

The board once again considered closing Acequia Madre in 2017, but it remained open to survive the next challenge in 2019.

The choices have Andrea Rivera’s head spinning.

“The district says students should be able to learn in small schools, but it’s like that only applies to some kids,” says Rivera, the parent of a student at Nina Otero Community School. “I love our school, but it’s definitely larger than the district’s own

stated ideal size for good learning, and I think we should get some more of the resources they spend on small schools and old buildings.”

Rivera is referring to a resolution the school board adopted in 2010 that set an aspirational limit of 450 students for elementary schools and 380 for the K-5 portion of community schools. She says she learned about the document when a family member whose children attend a smaller eastside school got a copy of the resolution during November’s closure debates. The information stuck with her.

Last year, Nina Otero had just over 500 students enrolled in it’s K-5 classes south of CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

and at some schools, more than half are learning English. At all but one of the schools at the bottom of the list, 100% of students receive free lunch.

These inequities are further compounded at the middle school and high school level.

Four of the five elementary and community schools that feed into Capital High School are significantly larger than the district’s limit. At all five schools, 100% of the students receive free lunch.

Many principals agree that equity fixes should focus on elementary and middle schools to ensure that all students are adequately prepared for high school.

Jaime Holladay, the principal of Capital High School, says many freshman arrivals at the school are not ready.

“They need to look at making sure that our middle schools and our K-8s have teachers, especially in the core content,” Holladay tells SFR. “It’s been a struggle

for us when we have students coming from feeders where they haven’t had math teachers.”

Holladay says students coming from middle schools without teachers in core subjects not only start high school with a skill deficit, but often also have more behavioral issues.

Ortiz Middle School, which serves about 600 students on the Southside and feeds into Capital High, has a total of eight teacher vacancies and is missing math teachers for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade.

Once in high school, students must pass algebra in order to graduate.

Aspen, which feeds to Santa Fe High, also started the school year with a vacancy for a math teacher that Principal Tina Morris says she is still trying to fill. She says the school has hired two math teachers in Albuquerque with whom students can message and Skype during class.

“The lessons are structured and in-

struction is individually tailored, but there’s not a live person up there dealing with the social-emotional piece that’s really important as well. So the teacher shortage is critical right now,” Morris says.

SFPS started the 2019-2020 school year with 32 teacher vacancies. Teachers and principals tell SFR it’s detrimental for lots of reasons; among them, that having a personal relationship to an adult at school is critical to success for students from more disadvantaged backgrounds.

To close the achievement gap, “kids need the opportunity to be individually supported at the academic level they are at,” in addition to grade-level instruction, says Jule’ Skoglund, the principal at Salazar Elementary.

Salazar is among the eight schools with the lowest test scores in the district.

The small elementary school is located in Midtown and serves some of the highest-need populations in the city. All of its

Jaguar Drive. The other schools whose enrollment was over the recommended limit last year are Piñon, Amy Biehl, Ramirez Thomas, Sweeney and El Camino Real—all Southside schools. At most of them, the entire student body receives free lunches because of low family income levels. Acequia Madre only has 155 students, with only 22.4% eligible for free lunch.

“It just seems like it’s the kids at these bigger schools who probably need that money more,” Rivera adds.

Inequities between Santa Fe schools are not as stark as they once were. In 2007, SFR reported that Piñon Elementary, a Southside school with 700 students, and Alvord, an east side school with only 120 students, were allotted the same number of computers.

This is one of the reasons Mary Ellen Gonzales, who sat on the school board in 2010 and voted to consolidate Alvord with Larragoite and Kaune, says she still thinks she made the right decision.

“It was the most equitable choice we had,” she says. “Those cuts had to come from somewhere, and there was a huge imbalance already between the schools we closed and the schools on the Southside.”

Yet, nearly 15 years later, the imbalance still has a corrosive impact.

The feeder effect While school closure and crowding fights are most prominent at the elementary school level, student performance disparities only grow more evident as students move into upper grades.

Four out of five of Santa Fe’s elementary and K-8s with the highest PARCC proficiency scores in math and English are the wealthiest, whitest schools in the district. At these schools, less than 22% of students qualify for free lunch and fewer than 6% are learning English as a second language. Piñon Elementary is the notable exception.

At the schools with the lowest test scores, up to 95% of students are Hispanic,

students receive free lunch, and Skoglund tells SFR that between 15 and 20% of them are technically homeless.

Skoglund says when Salazar got a grant for individualized after-school tutoring, students in the program rapidly improved their academic achievement and were more likely to reach grade level expectations.

“If there’s one thing that I think could close the achievement gap for high risk students, it’s more funding for individualized tutoring and small group learning,” she tells SFR.

New study, old problem

Skoglund is on the school district’s Equity Council made up of educators, administrators, and vested community members. In the last year, the state required all school districts to have an equity council in response to a court ruling in the Yazzie/ Martinez case that determined New Mexico has failed to provide an adequate education to minority and disadvantaged students. Santa Fe’s equity council began before the state mandate, however, and Skoglund says it will continue its work alongside the committee that will oversee the district’s new study.

The council’s priority has been to look at data that’s already available to understand what key risk factors impact a student’s likelihood to succeed in school.

These factors include English as a second language, poverty level, discipline violations, the number of days a student is absent during the year, trauma and instability in the home, just to name a few.

The more risk factors a student has, the more support they need to overcome their obstacles and reach grade level. Skoglund says the Equity Council will present its findings to the steering committee for the new study once it has been assembled. She says she firmly believes Superintendent Garcia will guide the project towards meaningful outcomes.

However, Ben Gomez, the dean of students at Capital High School and a teacher in the district for 24 years, questions why the district needs to do yet another study and put together yet another committee.

“What’s this study actually for?…In my opinion, the numbers give a pretty clear picture of what’s going on,” he says, adding that the money spent on the study could be better spent helping students in need get ahead.

Gomez says if he could change one thing, he would offer a more robust vocational training program for students who do not want to go to college that would “incorporate all of the core skills—math, reading, writing—but make it relevant to something kids actually care about, teach them why their education matters.”

Capital student Arthur Valencia, left, and Thomas Sinte Torrez, Communities in Schools site coordinator, chat in Torrez’ office between classes.

If I was to run a school, it would be focused on strengths instead of weaknesses. I would try to make sure every kid got an individualized, personal needs test, instead of standardized tests.

-Arthur Valencia, Capital High senior

Both Skoglund’s optimism and Gomez’s skepticism were reflected in conversations SFR had with educators across the district.

On one hand, people are eager for change and a better system, and feel that under the current superintendent’s leadership many issues in the district have already seen significant improvement. On the other, they’re sick of continuous studies and committees that make big promises but never seem to lead to different results.

Across the board, these conversations also reflect a frustration with a standardized curriculum and assessment system.

These are part of state and federal re-

quirements, but the district also has a say in how much flexibility teachers have in the classroom.

“In the past few years, I thought it got a lot better,” says Capital High senior Arthur Valencia. Compared to previous years, he says teachers have become “a lot more understanding” and are now “offering different ways to learn…Not everyone learns the same way, not everyone is good at the same things.”

“If I was to run a school, it would be focused on strengths instead of weaknesses,” he says. “I would try to make sure every kid got an individualized, personal needs test, instead of standardized tests… and teach kids that it’s OK to mess up and try again because that’s how life is.”

Garcia says the main difference between the new proposal and previous efforts is the emphasis on stakeholder engagement and the district-wide scope of study.

“At the end of the day we have to take action…and follow through with the changes,” Santa Fe High Principal Carl Marano tells SFR when asked what needs to happen for this study to produce meaningful results.

Garcia tells SFR she’s already heard from nearly 300 people in initial stakeholder meetings. Far and wide, people told her the district does not currently have defined processes or policies for making big decisions, hasn’t taken meaningful action based on the results of committees and studies of the past, and does not effectively communicate the changes it does make to parents or school administrators.

Garcia says the district needs to gather more quantitative and qualitative data about what’s working and what’s not, and

look to the wider community for creative solutions.

When asked if it will also include studying the results of past school consolidations, she says this issue will likely play a part but that the specifics will be up to the committee.

The committee could still recommend consolidating schools. But solutions could also include keeping small schools open to share building space with other enterprises, or adopting a new transportation and transfer system to more evenly disperse students across the district.

“I’m delighted to see that they are…considering how we could restructure the whole system to make it work better for all of our students,” says Tina Morris, the principal at Aspen. She’s excited for an inquiry into how schools might distinguish themselves through specific offerings, becoming more like the charter school system or magnet schools.

The school board expects to focus on the proposal at a study session planned for March 23. Next, the board would convene a steering committee composed of people from each part of the school district, and an independent consultant hired by the district to organize and manage the project.

Garcia says that after the steering committee is assembled they will offer opportunities for interested community members to get involved.

The study could cost the district up to $250,000. But if it can help achieve its promised end, Garcia says, “it’s worth it.”

FULL SPEED EXIT Yeah, it’s been a pretty good run for Albuquerque/ Santa Fe indie-punk/pop act Full Speed Veronica, but since all good things must come to an end, this good thing is…you know the rest. Seems guitarist/singer Malcolm June is leaving New Mexico, but not before the band does a couple farewell shows, one of which goes down right here in Santa Fe. The timing is a little odd—the band drops its new EP, The Final Round, on Friday and is one of the few rock bands around here without a country-ish subtext. And even though we wish June well in whatever happens next, it’s always sad to lose a local band. But if you’re looking for rock with a poppy sensibility and the whispers of classic punk seeping in all around its catchy choruses, this is the one—and your chances are dwindling. (ADV)

Oh, they’ve come before, and they’ll come again. And you’ll like it. Think rap meets synth meets punked-out lovelorn weirdness with a highly danceable backbone and a dash of Violent Femmes-ish humor.

Snailmate is almost like Mates of State didn’t make everything a certified drag (with nothing but love to MoS), like if Ween had a little more focus. But if we’re looking to ditch the comparisons and define what it is Snailmate does, it’s hard.

BOOKS/LECTURE TUE/10 MO’ MOMADAY N Scott Momaday (Kiowa) is quite possibly the most singular corporeal expression of New Mexico literature; his legendary status was established with the 1968 novel House Made of Dawn, which viscerally explored the post-war Native American experience, won a Pulitzer and set the grounds for a resurgence of Indigenous voices throughout the second half of the 20th century. Perhaps you didn’t know that he’s out with new work, a collection of over 200 poems. The Death of Sitting Bear captures Momaday’s attitudes towards words as sacred tools of expression, and he breathes life into those words this Tuesday with a reading and conversation with poet Layli Long Soldier (Oglala Lakota).

EXHIBITION FRI/6

Sunken Treasure New Mexico Museum of Art’s Alcoves brings together local hits It’s not about terms like “best” when it comes to the next iteration of the New Mexico Museum of Art’s Alcoves series— especially considering it boasts names like Todd Ryan White, Munson Hunt, Debra Baxter and Jonathan Parker—but if we were hard-pressed to name the artist we’re most excited about in a sea of excitement-worthy creators, we’d have to say Amy Ellingson.

Ellingson is a relatively new transplant to Santa Fe, but as a longtime visitor (and an absolutely bonkers good artist), she’s sure to eek out a space all her own in short order. Alcoves seems a good start.

Think of it like Ellingson is working with a partner, though in this case, that partner is a computer and its various arts and modeling apps. Once she’s zeroed in on a design, Ellingson transfers the content to archival quality physical materials using painting and encaustic wax processes. In the end, she winds up with abstracts that look equal parts mathematically sound and planned, but still emotional and wild with motion.

“I’ve been designing my paintings on the computer for about 30 years, believe it or not,” Ellingson tells SFR. “The goal

was to create a new way of approaching abstraction and to see if there were any things I could do with a computer that would open up new avenues in terms of creating forms.”

Indeed they have, and though Ellingson does touch on the familiar emotionality of the abstract—”it has to be emotionally driven,” she says—the work is as much about the digital processes as it is culling from her own well.

“What I’m kind of trying to do is seduce people with the optical and digital effects,” she continues. “It’s all painted by hand, but the imagery is generated on the computer—there’s a lengthy process.”

In Ellingson’s other offerings, she represents the raw data of her computer-generated images in graphite, as well as in ceramic; manipulating a completed pre-painted image onto a 3-D sphere opens up new opportunities for expression we might otherwise have never seen.

Altered Lands

T

Caitlyn Soldan’s distorted visions of iconic New Mexico

BY JC GONZO |

a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

COURTESY OBSCURA

o envision the West and its memorably epic accompanying imagery—particularly that of New Mexico—is often to envision pristinely depicted landscapes. The likes of Ansel Adams and Georgia O’Keeffe helped form a collective vision of unforgettable sights and sites, with New Mexico providing formations and natural landmarks familiar to locals and visitors alike. And that’s where artist Caitlyn Soldan bases the core of her upcoming solo exhibition at Obscura Gallery, Desertscapes: Altered Views of New Mexico, with the Pedernal, Taos Gorge and Shiprock serving as catalysts.

“It started with the Pedernal, trying to get just the silhouette. Then, I began manipulating it,” Soldan says. “When you take this iconic horizon line everyone associates with their own memories and experiences of New Mexico, and then you change and manipulate it—what happens?”

Her series is by no means a conventional depiction of iconic locales. The chosen sites are anchors in an experimental, conceptual process that deconstructs our perception and familiarity with such places, much like a memory distorting details over time. The landmarks shift, evolve and transform into something beyond themselves.

Soldan begins with a recognizable New Mexican landscape formation, and then, through various interwoven and alternative photo processes, the images become distorted with only the most key elements of their structure remaining. To move past iconography via repetition recalls Warhol, though Soldan’s variations on a theme are far more drastic and dramatic.

“I’ve always worked with these experimental processes,” says Soldan, who originally hails from Chicago, “so I was looking for a way to do them in a way that was more connected to New Mexico. I haven’t made much work about this state since I’ve lived out here.”

“Because I grew up in a place where there was not a lot of nature, places like

Artist Caitlyn Soldan depicts Shiprock, but through self-taught and atypical photographic processes meant to play with our notions of iconic sites.

New Mexico and even Savannah [Georgia] are very special to me,” she continues.

“While Savannah was a beautiful, historic city, it didn’t have the monumental landscapes that New Mexico has.”

Soldan moved here in 2011 after college in Georgia. She works as the archivist for the Palace of the Governors’ historical photo archives, but, she says, “Even with my job at the archive, I’d thought I’d had a good understanding of this state’s history, but there’s so much more that I’m still learning all the time.”

This takes Desertscapes to a more personal realm. As much as the series is an exploration of form, process and perception, it’s also Soldan’s own understanding and experience of New Mexico.

“No matter how many hikes or weekend trips I take,” Soldan tells SFR, “I’m always finding something new that I’ve never heard of or seen before.”

Similarly, the variations she creates seem equally as vast and ripe with possibility. No image can be recreated as her

rarified practices yield unpredictable results highly sensitive to the conditions she provides.

“Basically, I’m using three different processes—traditional darkroom black and white paper; gelatin silver,” Soldan says. “I liked the idea of using a very standard material to get wild variations in color and reactions out of it that people don’t even think is possible.”

Interchangeably, Soldan’s photographic processes include techniques like mordançage, chromoskedasic sabattier, lumen printing, chemical painting and solarization.

“Mordançage is a rare process developed by the French photographer JeanPierre Sudre, and helps the emulsion lift from the paper,” she notes. “It’s probably the most toxic of processes I’m using. I have to wear a respirator and work in a well ventilated room.”

These aren’t typical darkroom practices, and more impressively, some, such as chromoskedasic sabattier (or

S F R E P O RT E R .CO M / A RTS

A&C

“chromo” for short), are self-taught.

“Chromo adds an iridescent, metallic effect,” Soldan illustrates.

The highly reflective quality of these chromo prints, along with textural gradations and subtly diverse colors, makes experiencing the work in person crucial; Soldan provides a straight and un-manipulated representation of the landmark from which she deviates, further demonstrating the effects of her processes.

Often, by the end, all that remains of the straight image is the horizon line.

“That’s really all you need, the horizon line,” she says. “That’s what you think of in your head, no matter how abstract I make it, if you’re familiar with New Mexico you’ll probably be able to pick it out.”

The horizon line thus becomes the sole, reimagined tether to reality left in her abstractions. Are these manipulations distortions or distillations? Minimalists like Donald Judd came to the Southwest attracted by the stark horizons accented by epic mountains, mesas and valleys. The visual, aesthetic path Soldan takes helps us see a landscape reduced to its core elements, its essence.

“I’m not focused on getting this perfect, traditional landscape print, although I work with traditional photographic methods like using film and working in darkrooms,” Soldan continues, highlighting what sets both this series and herself apart from what may be expected of Southwest landscape photography. “I’m a very process-oriented photographer.”

Soldan presents views from the state that may not be necessarily accurate to the scientific or objective reality of a natural monument, but that are somehow more true to what it can be like standing before them, then faintly recalling an image long after on the trip home.

with Julie Chase-Daniel

Let us re-introduce ourselves.

COURTESY JULIE CHASE-DANIEL

In 2017, local artists Julie and Matthew Chase-Daniel were evacuated from Florida’s Loggerhead Key, one of the Dry Tortuga islands. Hurricane Irma was fast approaching, and the Chase-Daniels—a mere few days into a monthlong residency through Santa Fe’s National Parks Arts Foundation—had to put their plans on hold and lay low in Central Florida. Some weeks later they returned under safer conditions to conclude the program, and the results come to the Center for Contemporary Arts this Friday, March 6 (5 pm. Free. 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338) in the form of The Blue Fold, a combination book and exhibition of everything they learned, told through imagery and poetry. SFR spoke with Julie, an accomplished poet to learn more about the project. (Alex De Vore) Was the residency just about getting away from it all?

It’s more like trying to get into it all in a way that makes sense for the time and place we find ourselves relative to climate change and the way art can support newwave thinking about nature and our place in it. We were the only two human inhabitants for a few weeks while we were there. There’s a small bungalow on the island that was the lighthouse keeper’s cottage back in the days when the lighthouse was operational, but it was decommissioned quite a while back. There are researchers affiliated with the Park Service who stay out on the island in order to accomplish their research goals, but there’s no phone or internet or ways other than a two-way radio with the Park Service to communicate. It was the summer Hurricane Irma swept through and just a few days after we arrived it was evacuated.

You’ll hear artists of various disciplines say that changing perspectives like this—or isolating themselves—has helped create some of their best work.

Was that the case for you and Matthew?

It was certainly a container that helped us give birth to a new body of work that we’d never done before together. We’ve been working and playing and loving each other since we were in college, so, a long time, but the island gave us a chance to unfold new aspects of our creative partnerships together. I happen to be one of those people who thrives best in those delicate midnight hours when the buzz of the human world slips away. For me, the island was the deepest, most wonderful way to immerse myself in that without the interruptions of daily life.

Would you say there was any sort of epiphany or key takeaway from the experience? What have you learned that you’ll carry with you?

The challenge is picking the one to bring forward into this conversation—there were many, really. I think, as an artist, it’s important to me to feel my work is in service to something greater than myself and the vision of a world of greater flourishing for all living things and beings. I guess the takeaway for me is that art really does have a meaningful place in dialogues about how to achieve protections, conservation and restoration of our natural resources. Art and science can inspire each other to bring forward information and insight to people who are searching out ways to experience the world more meaningfully.

How To Emcee

Hip-hop legend Rakim comes to SITE Santa Fe with a talk, a book and a performance

After our interview, SFR learned Rakim will be interviewed by Public Enemy’s Chuck D at SITE Santa Fe.

BY AEDRA BURKE a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

G

et two hip-hop fans in a room, and within a few minutes, the conversation of Greatest MC Of All Time will invariably begin. Names like Tupac, Pharoahe Monch, Nas and Kendrick Lamar might have some place in said conversation, but even at their level of craftsmanship, there are few in the genre who inspire as much reverence as Rakim Allah.

Credited with near-singlehandedly introducing multi-syllabic rhyme schemes

and internal rhyme structures to hip-hop, his place in music is arguably as important as John Lennon or Elvis Presley. When Paid In Full debuted in 1987, people didn’t just note the emergence of a new emcee—they saw a seismic shift taking place inside the rap world (Seriously: tonight, get on Netflix, watch Hip-Hop Evolution season 1, episode 3 because Darryl McDaniels, aka DMC, talking about the first time he heard Rakim is revelatory).

When Rakim talks, people listen—and when Rakim writes a book, it’s something worth dissecting. But even after the No-

vember release of Rakim’s Sweat The Technique, his literary first, the artist remains stoic.

“I never really felt interesting enough to do a book,” he tells SFR. “I’m a modest cat, and I look at things different.

So I didn’t think a book would really resonate.”

His personal misgivings aside, Sweat The Technique is quite the read. When autobiographical, it gives the reader a fly on the wall perspective into Rakim’s early life on Long Island, New York; his first sessions with DJ, producer and emcee Marley Marl; and his partnership with Eric B, which all work to forge a personal bond with an artist who has been notoriously guarded about his private life.

“I was always kind of standoffish with my personal life mixing with my music,” Rakim says, “so for me to be able to do this and give the consumer and fans an inside look at Rakim, I think that was important for me.”

But Technique isn’t just a recollection of one of the most lauded rappers from the golden era of hip-hop. Throughout the book are detailed notes on notable tracks, along with chapters on Rakim’s creative philosophies. He says it’s meant to give the reader a look into “the way I think, and trying to break down some of the intricate styles that I was doing— some of the styles that may have went over people’s head.”

Though the stories are excellent and worth the jacket price, it’s in the relaying of creative content and process where Technique truly shines. Rakim has long been a man seemingly obsessed with transmitting knowledge, and having him guide you through firsthand experience feels less book-y, and more like an approachable yet high-level college course, or like a mirror to Rakim’s ability to define culture, even as an outsider.

“I finally was ready to do the book, but I wanted a different way to do it, a different direction. I didn’t just want to tell

MUSIC

my life story or my history,” he explains.

“Rather, I wanted to inspire artists, and inspire people. Of course it details some of my history, but it was more to show the creative side of an artist and myself.

What we go through, how we see our way through.”

And just because he’s writing books doesn’t mean Rakim is out of the rap game.

“Of course I’ll keep trying to create music, if the world lets me,” he notes, adding that he wants to “do another album, see if I can push it as long as I can.”

“It’s just not something you let go because of a date or something that you did already,” he continues. “For the people that love it, they can’t stop.”

Not stopping can look like a number of things, but for Rakim, a part of his current book tour will be pulling double duty—performing and speaking in one night—along with local hip-hop artist Raashan Ahmad and Public Enemy’s Chuck D, a last-minute addition to the events and who will play the part of interviewer during the discussion segment.

Back to the book, it’s important to point out that Sweat the Technique isn’t just a tome for fans of rap, though every hip-hop head should definitely read it.

More importantly, it’s like a primer into a broader musical knowledge that taps into the raw experiences of creativity itself, all curated by one of the most influential artistic minds of the last century.

“I’m glad I did the book,” Rakim says, “because it was a different justice at the end than completing the song.”

One last note: when buying tickets from the SITE Santa Fe website, do pay close attention to the varying tiers and events. Some are for the talk only, others the show only, some come with the book and so on.

Raising the Bar With just three things, you can start your own baby bar at home

BY COLE REHBEIN c o l e @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

’m turning 23 soon, and to prevent the possibility of nobody liking me at this tempestuous age, I’ve decided to outfit my home with a proper bar so I can start hosting little cocktail parties and soirees and finally lift myself into high society (or something like it).

Keeping a thoughtful home bar is a hallmark of hospitality in certain circles. Plus, alcohol isn’t even a required ingredient for home bartenders these days, what with mocktail recipes that are just as delicious and spirit-lifting as their traditional boozy counterparts.

As such, I stopped by Shelby House and Spirited Goods (220 Shelby St., 216-0836), an event space and curated bar supply store, to chat with owner Liz Rees about what supplies (besides liquor and mixers) I’d need to get started. I also grabbed some tips for how to take it to the next level if you’re already an experienced socialite.

For those just getting started, there are three fundamental pieces of equipment: • • •

A shaker A bitter A book

“You need a good, basic cocktail book of recipes,” Rees says. “I know you can find a lot of this on the internet but it’s just a pleasure to read and look at.”

There are so many, too, from the classic and contemporary to the alcoholic and not, and Spirited Goods has a wide selection. Rees suggests The Craft Cocktail Compendium by Warren Bobrow ($12) as a good place to start, but also offers some advice: To see if a book might be a good fit, look up the recipes it offers for drinks you already know and like. You can grab bar books for $10-$30 depending on your budget and interests, and it’ll open up a whole world of possibilities.

Otherwise, anyone who sees a shaker gracing a counter or bar will know the space is a center for libatory delights. Rees recommends starting with the Boston style, which is a big cup with a little cup that fits upside-down inside to create a seal. Stainless steel is a good choice, but copper and glass are common upgrades. A good shaker set will run $30-$50 and last a lifetime; Rees still uses one passed down by her dad.

Bitters, meanwhile, are strongly flavored alcohol-based botanical potions that round out the flavors of liquor or add a dimension to basic drinks like soda water. Angostura and Peychaud’s are standard name-brand choices with a 4-ounce bottle of either running about $6. More broadly, there’s a craft bitter movement that is otherwise greatly expanding the available options.

“Bitters are great fun and you can really experiment with them…they were origi originally medicinal,” Rees explains. “If you’re gonna pick one bitter today, it’s probably gonna be orange.”

A single bottle from one of Rees’s faves, Portland, Oregon’s The Bitter Housewife (thebitterhousewife.com), retails for $20 at Spirited Goods, and a set of three classic flavors—orange, aromatic and cardamom—runs about $37. They’re used sparingly, only a few drops per drink, so depending on how often you imbibe you can expect them to last for a year or longer.

For those looking to upgrade their supply, Bill York of Santa Fe’s The Bitter End (thebitterendbitters.com) crafts exotic and spicy flavors like Jamaican Jerk, Memphis Barbecue and Thai, with bottles ranging from $20-$30. There are also alcohol-free and CBD bitters if you want your mocktails to be 100% alcohol-free, and Spirited Goods offers tastings so you won’t

Copper bar equipment is attractive and durable, and with proper care will last lifetimes.

FOOD

have to invest in something you’re not sure you’ll like.

You’ll still need spoons and cups from to stir and serve, but a set of glasses is the next prudent investment.

“There are glasses designed for certain drinks, and I think that’s really nice and fun, but it depends on how much space you have,” Rees explains. “I love it when I get things that have more than one purpose.”

She shows me a set of Spanish wine glasses called bodega glasses, short and wide with straight sides that can be used for any sort of wine or cocktail, or to hold snacks or ice cream. A single glass can run from $10-$20, and you’ll need at least four for a set.

Then there are more boutique items, like a folding multi-tool ($45) that looks like something a Scout would pack and inin cludes a double-sided jigger (a measuring cup for portioning liquid), a citrus juicer, stirpeel zester, cocktail strainer, knife, stir ring spoon, corkscrew, bottle opener and standmuddler. These tools also come in stand alone versions, and the sky’s the limit in terms of how much you can spend.

Spirited Goods carries vintage and novelty sets of tools, too, so, Rees says, “You can really express youryour anself through your bar,” with an imals and vehicle shapes or interesting patterns.

Whatever you might want or need, the time for picking up such items is now.

“I hate packing,” says Rees with a smile, announcannounc ing that her shop is moving out of Shelby House for an as-yet undeunde termined new location. Everything is on sale forr 50-75% off until March 31 off, making it possible to start your bar or make upgrades for cheap. Rees says her new location, slated to open later this year, is set to offer an expanded line of bitters, more books and a wider supply of home goods.

+ INTIMATE AND STIRRINGLY POWERFUL; CHEMISTRY BETWEEN LEADS - TOUGH TO HANDLE AT TIMES AND NOT ALWAYS PALATABLE

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

Cinema is crammed with dance movies that examine obsession or loss, challenge or personal development. And while there has certainly been sex in dance films, And Then We Danced practically begins with the line: “There is no sex in Georgian dance.” Yeah, right.

It’s interesting for a Swedish director like Levan Akin (who, to be fair, has Georgian parents) to tackle a movie about Georgian dance, but this one is something special, like a fragile flower growing amongst the concrete and rubble of a too-hard Georgian society.

Levan Gelbakhiani is Merab, a 20-something dance obsessive who has been rehearsing an important duo routine for nearly a year in the hopes of gaining a spot with the national dance squad when some other hotshot named Irakli (Bachi Valishvili) shows up to steal his thunder with his fewer years of practice and somehow more effortless moves.

“Since I could walk,” Merab answers when asked how long he’s danced, and there’s a deep

family connection to dance as well with his folks having been hip shakers before him. It’s almost like his birthright or something, at least in his eyes; his girlfriend is in the troupe as well, his party animal brother, also.

The whole replacement thing wouldn’t be the biggest deal, really, but Merab’s home life isn’t so great. The electricity is often shut off, his elders seem to have given up on pretty much everything and dance is the one place where he can truly feel free. His game is all mixed up, leaving him feeling a ferocious hatred of his rival—oh, but he might be gay, too, and have the major hots for Irakli, so that’s really just complicating everything even more.

Scenes with Gelbakhiani and Valishvili are revelatory. They’re hot, yes, but with a tenderness wrought from a deeper aesthetic of love and caring.

The pressures of a dance career weigh down

+ TIMELY AND SCARY; MOSS IS WONDERFUL

- SLOW TO START, FAST TO RESOLVE

Elisabeth Moss (Her Smell) continues her streak of noteworthy performances in The Invisible Man, a film with so-so jump scares, a rather terrifying core premise, an important message and an otherwise chilling resolution likely to stay with its viewers long after—even if that resolution feels half-baked.

Moss is Cecilia, a woman we meet as she’s escaping an abusive relationship with some kind of Silicon Valley optics genius/billionaire. Controlling doesn’t begin to describe her ex’s behavior, and the aftermath finds Cecilia struggling to do things as simple as leaving the house of her bud James (Aldis Hodge), a cop and father with a heart of gold. But then the ex winds up dead, or so it seems, and Cecilia gets back to living her normal life—right up until she’s pretty sure he’s somehow been able to turn himself invisible and is stalking her at every turn.

The slow yet steady isolation begins as the ex starts making Cecilia look like a violent and crazy sociopath to the rest of the world. Unable to convince her friends and loved ones that her reportedly dead former partner is alive and invisible, she descends deeper into the abyss,

mightily on them both—does it not make sense to seek comfort with another who truly knows your situation? The relationship is especially moving in its adjacency to the dance studio’s—and Tbilisi itself’s—machismo, an unexpected element again, but another example of Akin’s ability to find something beautiful within seemingly staid or even lifeless places.

While And Then We Danced recalls Whiplash in its brutality and emotionality, it recalls other foreign newcomer Portrait of a Lady on Fire in its portrayal of love in unexpected places; which came fist doesn’t matter, because it’s magical, even if it hurts us getting there.

frightened and detached and powerless. Moss has said in interviews that the movie’s like one long metaphor for gaslighting, and while the stakes are more intense than they must feel to everyday people suffering from proximity to a narcissist, the song remains the same—and it’s awful.

Moss is brilliant, steadfast in her convictions but teetering on the edge of what she believes is real or not. The situations in which she finds herself prove increasingly dire and bleak, and though The Invisible Man shows the fallout of her ordeal in excruciating detail, and though it often seems like she’ll be unable to emerge from the nightmare, we learn the importance in believing women or, rather, in trying to not make people in general feel insane for feeling their feelings.

In a post-Get Out world, where horror films plumb the depths of issues long lurking in the darkness (such as racism or gaslighting), movies like The Invisible Man feel urgent in a way the monster flicks and serial killer fare of yesteryear never did. Moss’s Cecilia gets her resolution, alright, and while it raises other questions about how we’re supposed to handle our emotions, it certainly feels satisfying. Just be warned that writer/director Leigh Whannell digs deep into some painfully relatable topics that could be triggering for some. (ADV)

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

+ ARCHIVAL FOOTAGE; INTRIGUING - A CONSPICUOUS LACK OF OUTSIDE PERSPECTIVES

In the annals of rock and roll mythology, The Band enjoys an exalted status. The quintet is credited with more or less inventing the Americana sound, and their synergy as a musical unit was legendary.

Among the five world class musicians were three gold-standard lead vocalists and one Hall of Fame songwriter—Robbie Robertson.

Once Were Brothers is the story of The Band told from the perspective of Robertson. It’s based on his autobiography, making Robertson effectively the narrator of the film. That’s good and bad. The film’s singular POV provides a sturdy narrative structure—and it’s a hell of a story—but also leaves the film feeling, at times, like commissioned portraiture.

Still, what a lovely portrait. The Band assembled itself in the late 1960s and famously served as Bob Dylan’s backing act when he jumped from folk to rock. The archival footage from this period is fantastic and includes home-movie-style film clips from the heart of the rock and roll revolution.

Director Daniel Roher (Finding Fukue) alternates old film clips with testimonials from admirers: Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Peter Gabriel, Jann Wenner, Van Morrison.

“If there were any American musicians comparable to the Beatles, it was them,” says Taj Mahal.

Casual fans should enjoy all the musical history on display, while serious students of The Band are provided some interesting insights. Clapton extols the group’s disciplined creative process: “They didn’t jam,” he says. “They were a songwriting outfit.”

Toward the end, the film suggests the real reasons The Band splintered as it did—alcoholism and addiction. Robertson and Garth Hudson, the two relatively sober members, held the group together for years (tellingly, they’re the only two still alive), but the Band still detonated at the end of its run in a cloud of bitterness and copyright disputes. With the film, Robertson basically gets in the last word.

Roher flashes forward throughout, but sensibly ends it all with the story of The Last Waltz, the famous 1978 farewell concert immortalized by filmmaker Martin Scorsese. That’s the right choice. On that transcendent evening, The Band was the best rock and roll group on the planet.

That’s how we ought to remember them.

“It was a beautiful thing,” Robertson says. “It was so beautiful it went up in flames.”

PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE

9

+ PERFORMANCES; THE BACKDROP - NOT FOR FILM NEWBIES; IRRITATINGLY PAINSTAKING AT TIMES

Someplace near the windswept beaches of Brittany, late in the 18th century, an artist named Marianne (Noémie Merlant ) arrives by boat. She’s to paint the portrait of a young, engaged woman named Héloïse (Adèle Haenel); she’s not the first, and she might not be the last— others, she’s told, failed at the challenge set forth

by Héloïse’s mother: to paint the girl without her knowledge. Hers is an unwanted marriage. But from the bizarre setup comes a fiery if painful tryst between the women. Unthinkable in its time, in the hands of writer/director Céline Sciamma (Water Lillies), Portrait becomes a methodical and believable look at sexual politics, family strife, loveless marriage, lust, connection and artwork.

Perhaps even better, it is free from any male fantasy dynamics and instead becomes a relatable and powerful piece of LGBTQIA2+ filmmaking.

Part of the film’s triumph comes in its excellent casting. Merlant and Haenel phase so effortlessly between timid young women thrust together under strange circumstances and almost ravenous lovers more in need of each other’s presence and touch than simply wanting them. Haenel in particular carves out a strong performance someplace between her overbearing mother, a recently deceased sister and the convent life in her character’s past. Her chemistry

with Merlant hangs thick over even the simplest meetings, but Haenel never loses the thread of pain so important to her character’s development, even up to the moments before the credits roll. Merlant herself shines as well, all blustery bravado and tortured painterly nonsense as she succumbs to her feelings, a warmer and caring person than we’d have expected once she relents to her passions.

And over everything, cinematographer Claire Mathon’s bright yet muted color and lighting schemes belie the deeper urges afoot, and with most scenes resembling paintings themselves— be it a simple meeting in an estate kitchen or a hauntingly gorgeous scene of singing—it would be impossible to pinpoint one moment that feels out of place. Even a seemingly insignificant chamber maid (Luàna Bajrami) hides more than she lets on, and discovering her secret feels more like uncovering a sisterhood than it does a morality play—these women look out for each other, even to their own detriment, even at a time when there’s no telling what repercussions might have come to bear.

In the end, Portrait is a triumph, even if it eschews sappiness for a more authentic look at love at the wrong time and place. It’s as beautiful as it gets, a cinephile’s dream, which, yes, can mean it feels slow. But nothing is out of place in Sciamma’s world and vision. This one will stick with you. (ADV)

+ DORKY AND FUN - CASTING FOR MARSDEN ROLE WAS LIKE “ANY OK-LOOKING MAN”

Understand this right out of the gate: Sonic the Hedgehog is a movie for kids. Yeah, yeah, you grew up with Sonic (and Tails and Knuckles and Amy and Big the Cat), and you want to feel the nostalgia and blah blah blah—just stop it. It’s Sega.

For kids. And yet, as movies based on video games and/or little more than nostalgia go, it’s not as soullessly awful as you’d assume.

Yes, it’s true the animation company behind the film (Canada’s Moving Picture Company Vancouver) shut down after fierce fan backlash over the original Sonic’s uncanny-valley-as-fuck design delayed the opening and caused a laborintensive overhaul of the film’s CGI. But if you can disconnect yourself from how toxic fans ruin everything long enough to catch this—as well as how weird it feels to give a deep backstory to an ancient video game about a fast-talkin’ and faster-running hedgehog—it’s, like, pretty OK. The story’s weird—a powerful hedgehog (his name is Sonic) has cool powers, so of course evil forces want the powers. Luckily, this particular powerful hedgehog was raised by an owl with a sack of powerful rings that work like interdimensional portals. When the baddies come, the owl sends Sonic away (with its powers) to small-town Earth, where he falls victim to heavy isolation, turns weird and builds a life, sort of.

Somehow, Sonic gets noticed by the human people he’s been hiding from for years without any trouble whatsoever. The government isn’t down, so they send super-scientist Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carey) to investigate. He likes robots, is evil.

To escape, Sonic enlists the help of a local sheriff (James Marsden), and together they hit the road, navigating explosions and friendship and enjoying jokes about how Sonic can run really fast. They also diss Mario a little, but that one’s just for the parents and the olds who go see the flick.

Again, it’s for kids, and if this newspaper were aimed only at children, this thing would be a straight 10 out of 10 (the kids in our theater could not have laughed harder): The special effects are a blast, there are butt jokes aplenty, Sonic is cute and sassy and voiced by Parks and Rec alum Ben Schwartz with just the right combo of sweet and salty. Carey in particular becomes enjoyably strange, especially in solo scenes that showcase his special brand of insanity. Marsden’s character could’ve been played by anyone, and the same goes for his wife (Southside With You’s Tika Sumpter), a black actress who literally is told by her cop husband at one point that he’s going to “abuse his power as an officer of the law,” which, to us, seems absurdly tone-deaf and shitty.

HARLEY QUINN: BIRDS OF PREY

7

+ ROBBIE! ROSIE PEREZ! ASS-KICKING! - MESSINA; THE KID; SOME REAL STUPID JOKES

One recalls a time when we longed for comic book movies that took the medium seriously, though one also recalls that we’ve since been smothered by such films. It just…won’t…stop.

Lucky, then, that the character Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn, is based on a cartoon character created by the inimitable Paul Dini for the ’90s Batman animated series, and lucky, then, that Margot Robbie feels some sort of affinity for her—she’s fucking fun.

Yes, 2016’s Suicide Squad was a disaster of a movie, but there was one shining light hidden within the garbage—Robbie. Her take on the Joker’s girlfriend was so fun and charming that we longed for more. Of course, nobody wanted to make the standalone film (some bullshit in Hollywood about how nobody wants to see women-led movies), so Robbie stepped up to produce herself (along with a woman-heavy creative team including director Cathy Yan and writer Christina Hodson), and it’s a good thing she did—Birds of Prey is some of the most fun you can have at the movies.

Now, that doesn’t mean it’s good, per se. Or, actually, that it’s bad. But we don’t really need to assign those descriptors here, because it’s really more about the journey or something, right?

Right. Point is, this is about the most high-action, popcorn-chomping, bone-breaking, crossbow-shooting good time one can have in theaters right now, so just leave the good/bad dichotomy out of this, K? Robbie reprises the role of Harley Quinn in the weeks after splitting with the Crown Prince of Crime. Turns out she’d been a bit of a jerk during their relationship, though, and now everyone who was too scared of Joker to do anything about it has come to collect their pound of flesh. It’s mainly rank and file baddies, low-level henchmen and goons and such. But for Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor), there are much higher stakes and much more violent means to explore. Quinn must form a posse of badass women (played by Rosie Perez, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Jurnee Smollett-Bell) to handle the situation, and so she does—and they’re badass, indeed.

Birds of Prey winds up a far more violent film than other DC properties (Superman and Batman

don’t kill people), and certainly a less gritty take on Gotham City. It’s dark, yes, but never loses the humorous threads that make it so enjoyable. Robbie in particular shines as a wronged woman reclaiming her power, and the support that women show other women even under the worst circumstances is a breath of fresh air in a medium where they’re often portrayed as catty, jealous and dimensionless vessels for male reactionary bullshit. It makes McGregor all the more nefarious and worthy of hate, it makes Rosie Perez look like the champion she is.

Oh, there are missteps, like Chris Messina’s wildly boring Victor Zsasz and a wooden young pickpocket played by Ella Jay Basco. But it’s Robbie’s show, and we never forget it—from the kick-ass fight under fire sprinklers to her legitimately hilarious mannerisms and off-thewall weirdness. Perhaps the best course of action is to look at the things they’re not overtly saying—that teamwork works, that women aren’t defined by their partners, that Ewan McGregor is a pretty fun villain. Think of it more like a summer thing and try to enjoy yourself. What else is there, even? (ADV)

Rob Brezsny

Week of March 4th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Progress rarely unfolds in a glorious, ever-rising upward arc. The more usual pattern is gradual and uneven. Each modest ascent is followed by a phase of retrenchment and integration. In the bestcase scenario, the most recent ascent reaches a higher level than the previous ascent. By my estimate, you’re in one of those periods of retrenchment and integration right now, Aries. It’s understandable if you feel a bit unenthusiastic about it. But I’m here to tell you that it’s crucial to your next ascent. Let it work its subtle magic.

Wagner or the art of Mark Rothko. Same with the music of Drake or the novels of Raymond Carter or the art of Andy Warhol. The problem is with me, not them. I don’t try to claim they’re overrated or mediocre. Now I urge you to do what I just did, Libra, only on a broader scale. Acknowledge that some of the people and ideas and art and situations you can’t appreciate are not necessarily faulty or wrong or inadequate. Their value may simply be impossible for you to recognize. It’s a perfect time for you to undertake this humble work. I suspect it will be liberating.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You are most likely to be in sweet alignment with cosmic rhythms if you regard the next three weeks as a time of graduation.

I encourage you to take inventory of the lessons you’ve been studying since your birthday in 2019.

How have you done in your efforts to foster interesting, synergistic intimacy? Are you more passionately devoted to what you love? Have you responded brightly as life has pushed you to upgrade the vigor and rigor of your commitments? Just for fun, give yourself a grade for those “classes,” as well as any others that have been important. Then—again, just for fun—draw up a homemade diploma for yourself to commemorate and honor your work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Are you ready to seize a more proactive role in shaping what happens in the environments you share with cohorts? Do you have any interest in exerting leadership to enhance the well-being of the groups that are important to you? Now is an excellent time to take brave actions that will raise the spirits and boost the fortunes of allies whose fates are intermingled with yours. I hope you’ll be a role model for the art of pleasing oneself while being of service others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22):Cancerian author Lionel Trilling (1905–1975) was an influential intellectual and literary critic. One of his heroes was another influential intellectual and literary critic, Edmund Wilson. On one occasion, Trilling was using a urinal in a men’s room at the New School for Social Research in New York. Imagine how excited he was when Wilson, whom he had never met, arrived to use the urinal right next to his. Now imagine his further buoyancy when Wilson not only spoke to Trilling but also expressed familiarity with his work. I foresee similar luck or serendipity coming your way soon: seemingly unlikely encounters with interesting resources and happy accidents that inspire your self-confidence.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Scorpio-born Ralph Bakshi has made animated films and TV shows for over 60 years. His work has been influential. “I’m the biggest ripped-off cartoonist in the history of the world,” he says. Milder versions of his experience are not uncommon for many Scorpios. People are prone to copying you and borrowing from you and even stealing from you. They don’t always consciously know they’re doing it, and they may not offer you proper appreciation. I’m guessing that something like this phenomenon may be happening for you right now. My advice? First, be pleased about how much clout you’re wielding.

Second, if anyone is borrowing from you without making the proper acknowledgment, speak up about it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Poet Adrienne Rich wrote, “When a woman tells the truth she is creating the possibility for more truth around her.” I believe this same assertion is true about people of all genders. I also suspect that right now you are in a particularly pivotal position to be a candid revealer: to enhance and refine everyone’s truth-telling by being a paragon of honesty yourself. To achieve the best results, I encourage you to think creatively about what exactly it means for you to tell the deep and entire truth.

PAST-LIFE AND EMOTIONAL RELEASE

MASSAGE THERAPY

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): “Vainly I sought nourishment in shadows and errors,” wrote author Jorge Luis Borges. We have all been guilty of miscalculations like those. Each of us has sometimes put our faith in people and ideas that weren’t worthy of us. None of us is so wise that we always choose influences that provide the healthiest fuel. That’s the bad news, Sagittarius. The good news is that you now have excellent instincts about where to find the best long-term nourishment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Through some odd Aquarian-like quirk, astrologers have come to harbor the apparently paradoxical view that your sign is ruled by LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Poet Conee Berdera delivered a both Saturn and Uranus. At first glance, that’s crazy! poignant message to her most valuable possession: the Saturn is the planet of discipline, responsibility, conservatism, diligence, and order. Uranus is the planet of flesh and blood vehicle that serves as sanctuary for all her yearnings, powers, and actions. “My beloved body,” awakening, surprise, rebellion, barrier-breaking, and liberation. How can you Aquarians incorporate the enershe writes, “I am so sorry I did not love you enough.”

Near the poem’s end she vows “to love and cherish” her gies of both? Well, that would require a lengthy explanation beyond the scope of this horoscope. But I will tell body. I wish she would have been even more forceful, saying something like, “From now on, dear body, I prom- you this: During the rest of the year 2020, you will have ise to always know exactly what you need and give it to more potential to successfully coordinate your inner Saturn and your inner Uranus than you have had in you with all my ingenuity and panache.” Would you consider making such a vow to your own most valuable years. Homework: Meditate on how you will do just that. possession, Leo? It’s a favorable time to do so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1637, renowned VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Luckily, the turning point English poet John Milton wrote “Lycidas,” a poetic elegy in honor of a friend. Reading it today, almost you have arrived at doesn’t present you with 20 different possible futures. You don’t have to choose from four centuries later, we are struck by how archaic and obscure the language is, with phrases like “O ye among a welter of paths headed in disparate directions. There are only a few viable options to study and laurels” and “Ah! who hath reft my dearest pledge?”

A famous 20th-century Piscean poet named Robert think about. Still, I’d like to see you further narrow down the alternatives. I hope you’ll use the process of Lowell was well-educated enough to understand Milton’s meaning, but also decided to “translate” all elimination as you get even clearer about what you of “Lycidas” into plainspoken modern English.
