The Violet Crown is an innovative business that is one of the few bright spots in the Railyard experiment. Why in the world is it a good idea to arbitrarily create roadblocks to their business model based on antiquated protectionist regulations?

After reading the article and considering my experiences with the homeless I encounter, I’d say the overriding issue is addiction and alcoholism. No one is going to rent to you if you cannot hold a job and pay rent. Opioid addiction is the problem that needs to be addressed more than anything else.

Let Us Be Heard New Mexico might call for a renewable energy transition, but tribes are concerned about lack of outreach

BY L E A H CA N TO R l e a h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

bill wending through the Legislature aims to put New Mexico on a path to a full transition to renewable energy resources.

SB 489 would steadily increase the state’s renewable portfolio standards to 100 percent zero-carbon resources by 2045. It would close the coal-fired San Juan Generating Station, and has garnered endorsements from big names like the Sierra Club and Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham; the latter showed up to a hearing early on Saturday morning to pass out coffee to audience and committee members.

Backers say SB 489 would make New Mexico a national leader in the transition toward a more sustainable future. Yet testimony this weekend revealed that in the process of drafting the bill, sponsors and environmental groups failed to include Native people in imagining what that future could look like. Further, they did not consult any of the Indigenous communities or tribal governments in the Four Corners region who will be directly impacted by the closure of the power plant.

This oversight reveals significant blind spots within the mainstream environmental movement toward the area of environmental justice, where issues of inequality and historical oppression intersect with the issues of climate change and conservation. The bill received a “do pass” recommendation from the Senate Conversation Committee on Feb. 26. But tribal members stood up during the hearing to voice their concerns about the lack of consultation.

The Corporations and Transportation Committee heard the bill Saturday, and on Monday its members moved an amended version forward, which includes additions from Sen. Benny Shendo, Jr. (D-Jemez Pueblo) that address some of the issues concerning Indigenous

community input.

At Saturday’s hearing, Janene Yazzie (Diné) testified: “I am here to speak on behalf of the coalition of leaders, organizers and advocates that have brought forward an Indigenous reading and analysis of the bill. … As it was originally introduced, [the bill] only represented the results of negotiations between industry, environmental groups and nondescript community groups and the compromises that were agreed upon between these actors. … Not inviting us to the table until after this bill was introduced does not uphold the consultation standards that need to be respected in decisions that impact our Indigenous communities.”

Bill sponsor Jacob Candelaria (D-Albuquerque) issued a public apology, and a representative for the president of the Navajo Nation spoke in support of the bill and thanked the sponsors for including amendments to address the needs of Indigenous peoples.

Daniel Tso, council delegate for five impacted communities on the Navajo Nation, tells SFR by phone that this endorsement is not enough.

“The president hasn’t heard from the chapters and the citizens who are wanting amendments to this particular bill,” he says, adding that proper consultation must begin at the grassroots level by first involving impacted communities.

While Tso agrees with the goals of SB 489, he remains concerned that the language of the bill could be interpreted to exclude tribal entities from placing bids on the production of renewable resources needed to replace the electricity currently generated by the San Juan station.

“There is this tremendous opportunity for the chapters to participate in the production of solar electricity … but [SB 489] leaves little opportunity for having a far more competitive market for the solar energy production,” he says. “If it passes as written, then that would just leave us with no prospect of being self-sufficient or being able to transition.”

The coalition says this is also a concern for pueblo communities who are interested in or who have already begun producing their own renewable energy.

Candelaria assured committee members on Saturday that nothing in the bill explicitly limits independent energy producers from bidding on replacement power. But the issue of competitive procurement remained a concern for lawmakers even after they took the vote.

Committee Chair Clemente Sanchez (D-Grants), who voted yes, said: “I am hoping that PNM is true to their word to be truly competitive and work with communities.”

Developing the Economy

Get to know Santa Fe’s projects aimed at a more thriving local business landscape

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

T

he buzzwords don’t get any more buzzy than when officials start talking about “economic development.” Yet, conventional wisdom says an economy that’s vital and growing gives the community a better chance at quality of life. There’s got to be something real there.

That’s where Matt Brown comes in.

He was appointed director of the city’s rebranded Office of Economic Development in May of 2017, and in the coming months, Brown expects to present and get approval for a new strategy document to guide the next steps. Plus there’s movement afoot at the midtown campus.

Brown explains the current situation with SFR. This interview has been edited for clarity and length.

What are the economic development projects or strategies that you are the most excited about right now?

The most exciting and the biggest is the midtown property, formerly the SFUAD and the College of Santa Fe. That is the No. 1 project that we have, and probably really No. 1, 2 and 3. But some really exciting work we have been doing are the opportunity zones, and building a regional entrepreneurial ecosystem. And we are doing a pilot of a program out of Albuquerque called Community Navigators program. If it works as well here as it does there, then we are going to expand that out. There is another one that is long overdue, which is to both simplify and make our business licensing signup all online. Right now it is a very cumbersome process and a lot of it is manual. … There’s also one that’s in the rearview mirror, but is emblematic of the investments we are making: In January, we made a LEDA investment into Marty’s Meals, and this year we have about eight other possible projects or companies to invest in, which is a really great pipeline. Last year at this time, we had one.

Matt Brown heads the city’s Office of Economic Development.

What do you mean with this ‘ecosystem’ bit?

The Kauffman Foundation is the premier national foundation that invests in entrepreneurship and education … and they have launched that program in their home city of Kansas City, and then the other three locations they have selected are Baltimore, Long Beach and us. We are unusual in that the selection of us is a regional choice as opposed to the other three are individual cities. The regional coalition that has come together to start this … is Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Española and Los Alamos. And we expect more to come. We really hope to be working with some of the pueblos as well as with other cities and other more rural communities.

What about the ‘opportunity zones’?

It’s a construct from the federal tax overhaul that was passed last year that creates an incentive for people or entities who have unrealized capital gains to put that money into what are called distressed communities; these census tracts that are specifically designated and called opportunity zones. We met with investors, real estate developers, community leaders and organizers and foundations, and we want to make sure that all these different groups of people knew about these opportunity zones. (Santa Fe has seven tracts that qualified; five got selected.) … We are marketing out into the nation saying there are wonderful investment opportunities in these locations into things like apartments and entrepreneurship and even infrastructure.

Lastly, the Community Navigators?

That is a program that was initiated in Albuquerque during the development of the ART going through Central Avenue,

We are marketing out into the nation saying there are wonderful investment opportunities.

-Matt Brown

and the goal of it was to survive weathering the road being torn up for six months.

People called navigators are trained on how to help very small business audit around some of the fundamentals like financial management and sales. If the navigator finds the company is lacking in some way, the navigator can provide resources and contacts and guidance and technical assistance.

That work is tied to a strategic objective of ours, which is to strengthen local business. That is our biggest sector, which is businesses fewer than 20 people. We want to help strengthen them, not just to make them more resilient against a downturn, but also we have a goal of having at least 300 companies hire at least one person.

What can you tell us about the status of the midtown campus?

We are just on the brink of of making

some announcements on that. We have engaged a company called Projecto, and Daniel Hernandez has been actively on the ground with us working on the planning process with the midtown property since mid-January. … We are in the final stages of finalizing an RFP that we expect to get published here soon that will be the first of two. The combination of those RFPs encompass all of the objectives from the [City Council] resolution which is a land use framework and plan, and economic analysis and a yield analysis, community engagement and market research.

A lot of work now is going on around repairs and upkeep and ensuring that the property is safe. … There are parts of the property that are actively being used. So that keeps the place, at least in part, alive and vibrant. And in terms of the debt that we have to cover, it is great to get some revenues. It is not enough to pay for it all, but it certainly makes a dent.

How much money does the city spend on ED? Last year our operating budget was around $900,000.

Which really does not seem like enough …

I think most people feel the way you do. I would take more and could use more, but those are the conditions today. There is, in the bucket of money that comes from the Tierra Contenta development, several hundred thousand dollars. … Money sitting on the sidelines is not helping anyone, but it would be nice to keep some for inevitable downturns so we have some buffer. Our conversations now are how much buffer should we have, and the rest of it then we will use to support the economy and support the community.

Excellent Adventure a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

ocal troubadour and studio owner Jono Manson calls him “one of the most intuitive players I’ve ever recorded;” his nephew and sometimes-partner Michael Hearne insists there’s nobody in the world quite like like him; onetime bassist Margaret Burke says “there is no star power hierarchy in his dealings with humanity.” He’s shared a stage with Willie, recorded with Lyle Lovett and maintained a residency at the Hotel La Fonda for over a quarter-century.

Legend is an overused term in music, but it fits Bill Hearne.

I think of Hearne as a romantic oldtimey Texas singer. His connection to a bygone era wherein country music makers plumbed the great publishing houses and played songs they didn’t write remains strong. And he’s conceived a signature guitar style, the alternating bass notes mingling with the brighter trill of the higher frets.

His approach is singular.

Without sounding trite, you might call Hearne an eccentric. He impeccably remembers everything that has ever happened to him, like the unofficial historian of his own life. You’ll find Hearne performing in a big belt buckle and an even bigger cowboy hat on the Santa Fe Bandstand or at the La Fonda. At these shows, you’ll never see him without his jeans or custom bolo tie, a pair of guitar picks dangling from its tips. He’s got a custom Collins guitar, too, built just for him; the letters “BH” inlaid into the 12th fret. His folksy, homespun drawl feels right somehow. It’s why I’ve been wanting to tell his story for ages, and it’s why I visited him several times over the last month or so in his home to hear his tale.

“I grew up in Dallas, Texas,” Hearne says. His home helper Donna has just let me into his apartment on the edge of town, where he sits in the chair that once belonged to his wife and musical cohort, Bonnie. She died in 2017, the day after Christmas, and Hearne says he has since “gravitated” toward her old spot.

He uses that word a lot in explaining how things came to be the way they are,

almost as if he’s been pulled by unknown forces his entire life: Toward music, toward New Mexico. But that discounts the work he’s put in.

Hearne can play it off all he wants, yet the truth is plain—he’s dedicated himself to music in a way people just don’t bother to try anymore. He turned 70 last month, right around the time the Santa Fe Film Festival premiered the documentary short New Mexico Rain about

him and Bonnie.

Having known Hearne for a decade, but not well, I figured it was time to get a better idea of his life. Partly for posterity, partly because there’s a certain romance there. We started at the beginning.

Hearne was born in 1949 in suburban Dallas. His father worked for a paper company and his mother stayed home.

He was the youngest of three brothers, one of whom has since died. The other,

now 83, still lives in Dallas. Both, Hearne says, were out of the house by the time he was born, and his early years were more akin to those of an only child. One major difference was the congenital cataracts in his eyes, a lens opacity issue that presents at birth and causes visual impairment in children.

Hearne is essentially blind.

“It was pretty obvious from the getgo I had visual issues, but fortunately I

70 years of a Santa Fe country music icon don’t really remember them,” Hearne says. “From the time I was 3 or 4 months old until I was about 2 years old, I had a series of operations on my eyes—but it was pretty primitive what they could do at the time. They were able to save my right eye. The left they lost for reasons I’m not quite sure about. Anyway, I’ve got what I’ve got.”

Hearne describes a lower-middle class beginning, but says, “We heaved our way into the middle-middle class.”

His mother struggled with depression, so he spent most of his time with his aunt and uncle. They’d gift him his first guitar and 45 player; they’d help him order records from the general store in their Dallas neighborhood.

“I distinctly remember hearing Fats Domino and Elvis,” Hearne says. “I remember some country stuff, too. These were my first experiences with music.”

Hearne recalls summer trips to visit an aunt in the Pineywoods area of East Texas where he fell into old 78s and other vinyl treasures. He learned about Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys and developed a deeper appreciation for rockabilly and Western swing; the rawer country styles born of heartache, misery and, sometimes, things that went right.

“That excited me, but of course I couldn’t go to clubs or honky-tonks—I was underage—but the songs about adultery, going out, raising hell,” he says, “it was an energy of music I liked more so than the shlock that was coming out of Nashville created by people like Chet Atkins and Owen Bradley. They were looking for a bigger market and had to make armchair, living-room music with the slick and watered-down strings and pedal steel guitar.”

Hearne sought out edgier sounds— the twang of the telecaster and the mournful wail of the fiddle; “the sheer frankness and drive of that music,” he muses.

By junior high in the early 1960s, Hearne preferred music to attending classes. He was part of a special needs pilot program for students with visual impairments—the first of its kind in Texas public schools, he claims, but one that ultimately kept students out of the way rather than educate them in any

meaningful manner. Rock ’n’ roll was everywhere, which made playing with other musicians difficult for a fan of country-Western music.

Hearne took guitar lessons on and off in those years, but he also began developing his own style. In the mid1960s, as musicians like Doc Watson found their way onto his growing list of favorites, he began devising a method by which he could strum chords while simultaneously picking out lead guitar parts. He became a sort of one-man band.

“It was out of necessity,” he says.

“This was suburbia, and I was playing for my own amusement.”

In his teens, mainstream country media such as the Grand Ole Opry had lost its spark for Hearne, and the straight-ahead, no-frills music was harder to come by. He’d entered highschool, where, he says, he was “socially non-existent.” Vietnam raged. Bob Dylan and Phil Ochs became commonplace with their cerebral protest songs, and Hearne’s tastes were evolving yet again to include elements of folk. His

Anyway, I’ve got what I’ve got.

father suffered through late-onset polio and his mother sank deeper into depression; music became more of an outlet, and he led what he describes as a “lonely, isolated life.”

It took him an extra year to complete high school “because the teachers—and I’m not knocking them—didn’t know how to deal with me,” he says. But Hearne was accepted to the University of Texas at Austin in 1968, where he’d meet his future wife.

“A classmate said, ‘There’s a girl you oughta know, Bill,’” Hearne recalls. “‘She loves country music. And folk music. Y’all would get on, and her name is Bonnie,’ so I called her from a dorm payphone and she said, ‘C’mon over.’ We met, and it was: Boom.”

Bill and Bonnie, who was also blind, bonded over a shared love of musicians like Ian & Sylvia, Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell and George Jones. Ultimately, Hearne only completed one year at UTA, but he emerged in love and with a musical partner. Bonnie played piano and sang beautifully, and they’d be together for the next 50 years.

BELOW: He developed his own signature guitarplaying style.

COURTESY BILL HEARNE

When I ask how he feels now about her, Hearne doesn’t romanticize Bonnie. He probably respects her memory too deeply to sugarcoat it, even if he misses her terribly. On the walls of his apartment are dozens of photos of Bonnie, paintings of them together and other such time capsules.

“Bonnie grew up in Central Texas with country folk and was exposed to a lot of Baptist piano playing,” Hearne says. “She played, but she wasn’t really pursuing music at the time we met— she was a bit of a slow starter, she had to have a lot of prodding, and I was the catalyst.”

He’d visit Bonnie regularly, climbing the stairs to her second-floor apartment, handling her old guide dog Artemis who he says “didn’t like men,” and strumming out tunes on his guitar while she sang and played piano.

They’d spend time at The Chequered Flag, an Austin bar long since closed, where Bill would perform and Bonnie would join in now and again.

“Everybody thought, ‘Oh, these kids are gonna be an item,” Hearne says with a sly chuckle.

They’d play regularly at The Chequered Flag and other venues like the Hot Rail, and they became mainstays at the Kerrville Folk Festival, a stomping ground for country titans like Willie, Townes and Blaze.

They married Jan. 2, 1971. The same year, Rick Fowler, a member of Texas folk act Three Faces West (notable for also including musician Ray Wylie Hubbard) invited Bill and Bonnie to Red River, New Mexico. There, Fowler’s band spent summers running The Outpost, a coffee shop that hosted traveling acts during the small town’s booming warmer weather seasons.

“We rode the bus from Austin to New Mexico, God knows how many hours,” Hearne recalls. “This was ear-

ly August, the peak of the summer season, and we opened shows for Three Faces West, and people gravitated to us, they went crazy—we were a huge success.”

Bill and Bonnie returned the following summer and winter to similar acclaim, and sojourns to Red River became their summertime norm for years. In 1977, they cut their first studio record, Smilin’, with producer Mike Williams.

“He was rowdy and used four-letter words,” Hearne says.

The record sold poorly.

When we get to talking about the album’s reception and the waning days of Hearne’s Austin heyday, it seems he still feels conflicted about his adopted hometown. It may be the music capital of America today, but it was a graveyard of lofty, unfulfilled promises for many musicians in the ’70s.

Hearne may be one of them: a lesser-know player who came so close to greatness so many times, but never quite hit the next echelon; a musician’s musician mostly remembered by the socalled greats of the time.

“We knocked around, but it was grim in Austin, and the end of summer came and we decided to stay in Red River,” Hearne says.

There, Bill and Bonnie lived in an old mobile home and played at venues like The Outpost, the Alpine Lodge and The Motherlode.

Hearne maintains that they never got into drugs in those days, but does concede that they “may have partied and drank a bit much at the time.”

We call it quits for the day after this story, and Hearne requests a ride to the nearby mall. Part of me doesn’t know if I was supposed

to take him someplace without telling someone; part of me says he’s a grown man who can do what he wants. I worried for a day or two after, but when I return the following week to talk some more, there he is in his apartment, more alert and upbeat than I was.

“We traveled a bit,” he said, picking his story back up in the 1970s, “and a guy heard us in Raton and booked us for two weeks at a place called the Palace Saloon.

And then somehow, some way, I don’t recall, we started playing in Taos,” Hearne continues. “There were a lot of ski areas in Colorado that were catching on to Austin music, the progressive country thing.

We started playing in Breckenridge, we started working the ski bar circuit, and we were still going back to Texas to play the Kerrville Folk Festival. But it was endless road, and it was hard, even for us kids.”

Did they ever think about quitting?

“We were just too young and stupid, I guess,” he says.

For a time, Red River became what Hearne describes as a “little Austin.” Developments popped up and gigs were plentiful in the surrounding areas of Colorado, Taos and Santa Fe. This era lasted roughly six years before longtime Red River locals started selling off property and businesses.

The town was changing and the Hearnes were ready to leave.

Knowing they had a toehold in Northern New Mexico, however, meant it was time to leave Texas behind for good.

In the fall of 1991, with the help of a Santa Fe fan and friend named Becky Crutchfield, Bill and Bonnie moved to Santa Fe. He lives in the same apartment complex to this day.

By early 1992, Bill and Bonnie had locked down a six-month con-

tract for Wednesday and Thursday nights at La Fonda. “And it worked instantly,” Hearne says.

“The dancers embraced us, the tourists, really, people from all over. After that six months, they said: ‘Let’s keep going!’”

Through the ’90s, the Hearnes played La Fonda and continued traveling to Red River and Kerrville and Colorado. They released a Best Of album in 1993 with songs

by Nanci Griffith, Chuck Pyle and Eliza Gilkyson, but their biggest break came in 1997 when, with the financial help of Crutchfield’s father Barney, they recorded Diamonds in the Rough with producer Jim Rooney. Featuring heavy-hitters like Lyle Lovett and Jerry Jeff Walker as well as Hearne’s nephew, it was released CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

Jung

The C. G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe presents

In the World

Lecture & Workshop

Ronnie Landau, M.A., LPC, Jungian analyst, Philadelphia, PA Lecture: “The Shape of Water:” A Modern Fairytale for Troubled Times Friday, March 8th 7-9pm $10 (+$10 surcharge for 2 CEUs) This recent and beautifully imaginative film by Guillermo Del Toro, seduces the viewer with mesmerizing images and provocative storytelling into the realm of Jung’s collective unconscious.

Combining aspects of the numinous and the erotic we are drawn into a journey of transformation.

Del Toro’s cinematic fairytale offers an alchemical salve for the dark, rigidified, and overly rational ego consciousness of today’s times. Jung was particularly concerned with the modern man’s dissociation from the instinctual life and its connectedness to both spirituality and creativity.

This divide in our humanity can manifest in particular types of collective trauma.

Film clips from The Shape of Water will provide deeper visual access to Carl Jung’s concepts of otherness, anima, animus, shadow, and the numinous. Through the descent into the imaginal realm with the guidance of Del Toro’s storytelling, coupled with Jung’s notion of the unconscious, we will engage in challenging our rational orientations and invite a dialogue with soul.

Workshop: The Queen of Sheba and Her Hairy Legs: The Redemption of the Erotic Feminine Saturday, March 9th 9am-12noon $40 3 CEUs This workshop will focus on the mysterious, mythological, and legendary underpinnings of this erotic and powerful Queen. According to legend, the Queen of Sheba had a “deformity” of hairy legs. We will explore how the Queen of Sheba and her hairy legs are psychologically pertinent today, and to Jung’s notion of the Anima Mundi or World Soul. The use of story-telling, art, and music will assist in exploring the archetypal dimensions of this historical, religious, and mythological Queen.

Both events at: Center for Spiritual Living, 505 Camino de los Marquez, Santa Fe Friday lecture and Saturday workshop tickets at the door – for information call Jacqueline Zeller Levine 505-989-1545 For expanded program details go to www.santafejung.org 14

COURTESY BILL HEARNE

on Warner Western, a country offshoot of the Warner Records brand, and remains their most enduring work.

“It got to number five on the Americana charts,” Hearne says, “and that was back when the term ‘Americana’ had really only just begun.”

I tell him we’ll have to break again, and he only seems slightly annoyed.

Once you get Bill going, he’s disinclined to stop. Not because he drones on, but because the detail in which he recalls everything is stunning.

When we resume the following week, Herne tells me that Bonnie had “run out of gas” by 1999. Exhausted from constant travel and the Santa Fe residency, she took a step back from the project and only appeared live sporadically. Bill continued to play solo, however, and in 2000, Virgin Records approached him about a possible album for their fledgling Back Porch brand.

The Hearnes would record Watching Life Through a Windshield, enlisting greats like Joe Ely and Charlie Musselwhite to appear on the album, but Hearne refers to the experience—and the product—as a disappointment.

“Bonnie only sings one song on that one,” he laments. “She was very disappointed, and I don’t blame her. We were a duo, but I think they really wanted me.”

Here it gets harder. Due to health issues around 2003, Hearne says, Bonnie began forgetting words to songs they’d long played. She quit playing music regularly for good. Hearne recalls special occasion shows, like birthdays and anniversaries, but says they lost momentum as a musical duo.

He’s self-released a handful of albums since then, including 2004’s From Santa Fe to Las Cruces, 2010’s Bill Hearne Trio and 2018’s Where Lights Are Low, among others. There’s not an original song among them. Instead, we’re treated to Hearne’s takes on the works of his heroes and contemporaries like Buck Owens, Tommy Collins, to name a scant few.

“Bill’s never written a song in his life, but he’s a stylist,” his nephew Michael explains. Michael is the songwriter behind “New Mexico Rain,” Bill and Bonnie’s most popular song. “He takes people’s songs—friends of of his who are songwriters,” Michael continues, “and makes them his own. If you have a song done by Bill, you’re really lucky.”

Which brings us, more or less, to today.

Hearne has played the Santa Fe Bandstand numerous times and still travels throughout the region to perform or visit friends. In 2017, he and Bonnie were awarded one of the first New Mexico Platinum Music Awards, an honor for

Bonnie Hearne died the day after Christmas in 2017. “I highly commend [Christus] St. Vincent Hospital for treating Bonnie under tough circumstances,” Hearne says.

those who have forever impacted the state with their musical prowess.

Meanwhile, the Hotel La Fonda gig remains. Hearne celebrated 27 years of the residency in February, and you can find him there most Monday and Tuesday nights. La Fonda Chairwoman of the Board Jenny Kimball tells SFR he’ll continue to do so as long as he likes. He has regulars who show up to support him and dance, the two-steppers who never let go and those drawn to his raspy Texas vocal style.

Some sit quietly and watch from the tables, others stroll to the front. Hearne knows them all.

“He’s a great guitar picker, player, he’s got a fabulous voice and he’s really an icon in the country-Western commu-

nity—I really admire him and we’re fortunate to have him here,” Kimball says.

“I mean, if you had asked me 20 years ago if I’d have an extended family member named Bill Hearne, and Bonnie before, I’d have asked if you were kidding.”

On the last day we meet, Hearne expresses mild disappointment that I won’t be showing up anymore. He wants to make sure I have the dates and places right. I tell him I’ve got it recorded, that I’ve been taking extensive notes while we’ve talked. He leads me into his living room, plops down in Bonnie’s old chair and fields a last few clarifying questions.

He doesn’t need a ride. When I’m certain I have everything I need, I pose my final question: After all the years, everything he’s learned, what’ll he carry with him?

“I’ve learned to be grateful for the good things that gravitate my way, but I accept that bad things are gonna come my way, too,” Hearne tells me, not even pausing to think on it. “But I’m grateful to be alive one more day and do what I do. I entertain people.”

Transitions are afoot at Verde

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

I

’m drinking my vegetables as I write this week’s column: a Verde almond chai, to be specific. It includes kale, apparently, though I can’t taste it. I’ve been a fan of Verde (verdefood.com) since Kelly Egolf opened it five years ago, so when I heard changes were in the offing, I checked in to find out the news—and make sure that I wasn’t losing my favorite tiger nut horchata source.

I am not. Egolf will continue to make the popular cold-pressed juices and nut milks in the back of the facility at 851 W San Mateo Road. But a new business, Kevin Ivens’ Terra Verde Organic, will operate the front of the store, expanding the retail side to include smoothies, baked goods and a variety of made-to-order and grab-and-go lunch items, such as soup, bowls and paninis. The new restaurant will continue Verde’s commitment to organic and locally sourced ingredients.

Egolf describes the two Verdes’ relationship as “almost like a partner-

ship. We are two companies sharing one space.” The shift began last summer, a few months after Ivens and his wife Mariana relocated to Santa Fe from New Orleans. That move was a few years in the making, and coincided with the couple’s transition to a more health-conscious lifestyle. Kevin’s mother had begun experiencing health issues that made it difficult for her to swallow food, so Kevin and Mariana began experimenting with juicing, which expanded to making nut milks and then fermented drinks. Mariana began making beet juices for Kevin, a self-described “gym rat,” to drink before his workouts. “We started to explore other superfoods, things we could infuse into smoothies,” he says. “It made me want to do less of the bad and more of the good.”

Eventually, he sold his industrial staffing company and pursued their dream of relocating to Santa Fe to open up a retail space that would combine a love of coffee houses, organic food and juices.

They met Egolf through friends and the similarities were striking. Kevin and Mariana had already decided to name their business Terra Verde. Egolf’s own pathway to juicing and healthy foods had also been sparked when her jaw was wired shut after a surgery. Moreover, Egolf had been pursuing transitioning her business to eliminate the retail side and focus on wholesaling her juice line.

“It was just perfect timing,” Egolf says.

“There’s a lot of things about Kevin and his life experience and his values around organic food and nutrition and health

that just mirrored my own, and the fact that they had this concept [and] they even wanted to call their business Terra Verde; the universe said, ‘You and Kevin are supposed to find each other.”

Customers will still be able to find Verde juice at Terra Verde, but Egolf is now also selling the line in independent grocery stores from Albuquerque to Boulder. Transitioning to wholesale has meant some adjustments in production, she says. In order to distribute the product and comply with Federal Drug Administration rules, Egolf needed to extend the shelf life. As a result, the company has added a line of juices with a longer shelf life (both lines are available at the Terra Verde store). The longer shelf life is made possible by using a technology growing in popularity: high pressure processing, or HPP.

Things have changed at Verde Juice, but Kevin Ivens and Kelly Egolf are keeping it green.

TECH

The cold-pressure treatment, Egolf explains, kills harmful bacteria but leaves the healthy probiotics intact. The original line of juices typically have four- to fiveday shelf lives; HPP allows that to be extended for up to 45 days—although Egolf says she will pull products prior to that.

HPP technology has been growing in popularity in the US, where it’s been used for at least 15 years. It became more widely known over the last decade thanks to products like packaged guacamole. A Feb. 14 Food Business News article that explains the process credits the cold-pressed juice industry with HPP’s growing popularity, characterizing it as a “natural and environmentally friendly technology that eliminates the need for preservatives and other shelf life-extending additives.”

Both businesses will also maintain Verde’s “zero waste” ethic. Egolf says all food waste is composted and Terra Verde’s packaging is made from compostable packaging. “If it has a purpose, if it can be reused or recycled, we do that,” Egolf says. Ultimately, she says, Verde wants to have a noticeable impact on the local food economy. To that end, she also has brought on board other startup food companies in various ways. Verde is selling Madre Foods’ locally made bone broths. Tierra Madre Botanical owner Aimee Putnam is using Verde’s kitchen to make her products, as will local salsa company A La Vé! Additionally, Stargazer Kombucha, founded by Alison Schmidt, relocated from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and will relaunch out of Verde’s kitchen.

“We do a lot of mentoring and handholding to make the costs of launching a food business manageable,” Egolf says, noting that she rents the kitchen at below-market prices “to like-minded organic good quality food companies that want to grow. … That’s Verde’s commitment: To change the local food economy, we need more mentoring and sharing.”

What does it mean to be a warrior? The Warrior Women Torso Project aims to answer that question through a feminist lens, focusing on the courage and strength of women.

Tesuque-based artist Sharon Bartel-Clements exhibits 31 feminine torsos, paper breastplates interwoven with textures and assemblage.

These mixed-media works make use of both acrylic and sewing patterns to tell a story about the women embodying each torso. In addition to the art itself, Bartel-Clements reads selections from and signs copies of her book, which shares a title with the exhibition, and discusses her motives, methods and inspirations in creating the project.

EVENT SUN/10 POETRY IN MOTION Ten poetry performers enter, one poetry performer leaves—as the state champion, that is.

High school students from across New Mexico fight for the prestigious title of poetry performance state champion. Poetry Out Loud is a state-wide program, funding competitions and workshops all over the state. Judges, including former Santa Fe Poet Laureate Valerie Martínez, decide the victor. “Some of the students really shine,” Poetry Out Loud coordinator Phyllis Kennedy tells SFR. “They are really moved by a particular poem and they dive into it, recite it and make everyone fall in love with it and them too.” (LR) New Mexico Poetry Out Loud: 1 pm Sunday March 10. Free. St. Francis Auditorium, 107 W Palace Ave., 476-5072.

THEATER SAT/9

Intentional Insanity Students stay up all night to get acting, writing, rehearsing and directing Joey Chavez, the theater department head at Santa Fe’s charter school for the arts, has done more than a dozen 24-hour play festivals with his students, starting at Santa Fe High and continuing to the New Mexico School for the Arts. I’d like to think he knows what he’s doing, but in reading over the event’s schedule, it still seems to throw caution to the wind. He and theater teacher Barbara Hatch assure me no one has ever been seriously injured or gone nuts in the process.

On the evening of Friday March 8, the names of five directors and five playwrights—all volunteer students— are pulled at random from a hat. Those students then stay up all night with Chavez devising a short play; in the morning, actors show up to audition. Then previously appointed stage managers show up, as well as an omnipotent production manager. Rehearsals happen all day, and then on Saturday evening, the public is invited to a performance.

Sounds insane? Well, it is.

But teens may be the perfect demographic for the task. Not nearly as delicate as adults seem to believe, high school students are fierce creators, and

their creativity often blossoms under wild circumstances.

Years ago, “I realized that, no matter how much time I gave students to work on a project, they would always wait till the end to do it,” Chavez tells SFR. “So I thought, okay, I’m going to impose that really tight deadline.”

The result, says Hatch, is a magical day. “It’s an amazing process to start with absolutely nothing, a totally blank canvas, and ending up with fully staged, pretty well-memorized short pieces … that didn’t exist 24 hours before,” she says.

Further, Chavez says, it’s a multifaceted learning experience. “The playwrights are also really surprised when they come back the next night and see their show; they say, ‘I had no idea how much it could change in that short amount of time, when the actors get involved and the directors get involved.’” (Charlotte Jusinski)

24-Hour Webcast People Founding member Carlos Santistevan on local collective High Mayhem’s newest endeavor

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

S

ince its inception in 2001, High Mayhem Emerging Arts has been a uniquely poised collective of local musicians whose ethos has remained the same even as its methods and members have changed: to create improvisational and experimental music. The collective has always played by its own rules—namely, that there are very few rules—and gone through everything from being fully DIY and self-funded to receiving city funds to running a performance space and record label, all not-for-profit.

Things have been relatively quiet in the past few years, however, but founding member, current director and prolific musician Carlos Santistevan (aka The Uninvited Guest) says, “As artists, we haven’t been dormant—just not public.”

Now, he and other devotees are ready to kick off a new webcast and album release series titled On(e) Day (pronounced “on one day”).

During High Mayhem’s stint at their previous midtown warehouse location, they would not only host live performances but webcast them online for out-of-towners who wanted to see what the desert’s avant-garde and assorted genre-shirking vanguards were cooking up. We can think of this like a sort of prototype to what High Mayhem’s getting into now.

“We’re in a small town and the audience is limited,” says Santistevan of the

genesis of these webcasts. “You’d have the same 20 people show up at every show.

That’s awesome and great for those 20 people, but how could we expand an audience beyond that?”

High Mayhem performances wound up being viewed remotely from all over the globe, with viewers from Africa to Norway and all points in between tuning in. Since the closure of that space in 2015, Santistevan and High Mayhem have built an entirely new private studio on the Southside with the help of a $5,000 grant from Kindle Project, which has sporadically funded the collective since 2009.

“We never would have survived [in the old space] without them,” Santistevan says of Kindle’s assistance.

So plans to resume operations in the new space with a focus on webcasting rather than live events have become real-

ity. Santistevan cites the rise of other DIY-friendly venues like Ghost and Zephyr Community Art Studio as part of High Mayhem’s collective realization that there is a reduced community need for another such space. On(e) Day gives musicians exactly one day (or, says Santistevan, roughly 10 hours) in the studio to create a release of whatever length they can complete.

“Time spent in a studio is generally a very private practice that people don’t see,” Santistevan tells SFR. “It also has a lot of challenges in replicating the energy of a live show. Is there a way to make the exchange [between artist and audience] go both ways?”

Littlefield, Texas’ Satin Spar is scheduled for the premiere performance and recording on Sunday March 10 at 9 pm (find High Mayhem on YouTube and or

Facebook to check it). The experimental duo’s music is generally created in a live environment. Courting jazz with spikes of member Connor Sorenson’s cornet and trombone playing, the duo excels at ambient, experimental compositions that blend synths and percussion from member Andrew Weathers to engaging, ponderous effect. It’s very much in line with modern, minimalist composition in the mold of John Cage by way of Tortoise.

In other words, it’s a near-perfect marriage for High Mayhem’s love of music made in the moment. It’s a smart move, hopefully capturing what is most exciting about improvised music while keeping things simple.

Santistevan says not every album will be handled this way, and that High Mayhem wants the artist to have as much control as they can have within the project’s parameters.

“The goal is, when the artist uses the studio it pretty much defines what the album is going to be,” Santistevan says. “It will be up to us as High Mayhem to finish the album, and it is up to those artists to trust us in finishing that.”

With mixing and mastering expected to be a minimal process, he hopes to have a turn-around of monthly webcasts and releases. The next planned event in the series features indefinable heavies Bodies in April, plus Santistevan also hopes to curate ensembles of players who have not worked together before to see what they might come up with.

“Overall, what’s really going to be cool is the collection of [albums] and the diversity,” Santistevan predicts; “being able to see all these different approaches to the studio.”

In the meantime, it’s equally exciting just to see High Mayhem entering a new period in its nearly two-decade existence as one of Santa Fe’s great stewards of the unexpected and fiercely creative.

Starstruck Raya Golden adapts untapped 1994 George Martin pilot script Starport into graphic novel form

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

A

COURTESY RAYA GOLDEN

rtist and illustrator Raya Golden has an extensive travel resume. Originally from Manhattan, Golden wound up in Montana for high school, and then San Francisco for art school at the Academy of Art University.

“The main reason I went there is because, unlike a lot of art colleges, it’s required that the teachers be working artists,” Golden says. “I was so in love with the program and teachers.”

Art was in her blood. Her mother worked as an editor for fantasy publishing mega-brand Tor Books and, Golden says, she grew enamored with the covers she’d find on projects laying around the house. She also says she was a comic book fan as far back as she can recall, sneaking peeks at her mother’s copy of Watchmen, falling in love with Tank Girl—as we all do at one point or another—and sinking her teeth into the work of Jhonen Vasquez of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac and Invader Zim fame. But while she toiled at art school learning the ropes of illustration and book cover design, the industry shrank rapidly in conjunction with the rise of Photoshop.

“Between when I got [into college] in 2002 and graduated, as my nose was to the grindstone, I didn’t realize book covers were being replaced,” she explains. “Jobs kind of dried up.”

Fast forward to 2010, and Golden wound up taking a job with Santa Fe’s favorite citizen, George RR Martin, as his art director. This means she’s done things like design the logo for the Jean Cocteau Cinema, Martin’s art house theater, and she says he trusts her eye completely. She’s worked for Martin since then, but Artist Raya Golden brings an unproduced George RR Martin script to life in in 2015, he approached her with an unproduced Starport, premiering this week at Santa Fe’s only comic book shop. pilot script for a television show about cops

A&C

and aliens he’d written called Starport. He wanted it adapted into a graphic novel. “I didn’t think saying no was an option,” Golden says with a laugh.

She finally finished the project (it took her roughly three years from start to finish) thanks in part to Albuquerque-based colorist Rachel Hilley, and its world premiere is set for Santa Fe’s Big Adventure Comics as part of a special signing and speaking engagement with Golden.

So what’s it about? At its most simplistic, Starport is the story of Chicago police working in the shadow of Earth becoming the newest member of an intergalactic collective of planets. Hardboiled cops, futuristic weapons and anti-alien extremists abound— but everything threatens to come to a head when an assassination plot is uncovered.

“I have these taglines I’ve been telling people,” Golden says, half-jokingly. “Like, ‘It’s NYPD Blue but in Chicago and with space monsters,’ or ‘If Futurama ate Law & Order and had a food baby, it’d be Starport.’”

Essentially, and without trying to lean too much into likening it to other properties, Golden says Martin was going for a Hill Street Blues meets Babylon 5 kinda thing back in ’94, which allowed her to take some of the more serious aspects of Starport—including elements from cop shows that have evolved to become stale—and alter them for her adaptation.

“I wanted to make sure it stayed true to his original idea, so 85 percent of the dialogue is the same, but I sort of changed how it’s viewed or pulled certain things into the future,” Golden tells SFR. “For example, I had to change this part where cops can’t figure out a VCR … but keep to his original cadence—it’s kind of serious gumshoe, hardcore, but I took these things that in the last 20 years have become tropes and made them tongue-in-cheek.”

She hopes this might lead to other graphic novel projects, perhaps even Starport 2. But for now, she’s taking things in stride and enjoying the relief of completing the massive book.

“I’m nervous to see how the world is going to like it,” she says, “but I’m not so proud as to tell people what they should like. I’ll just wait and see.”

COURTESY KATHERINE CROCIATA

Katherine Crociata is taking the reins of the Santa Fe Area Homebuilders Association this month after Kim Shanahan, director for 10 years, stepped down. With the housing crisis on and whatnot, we thought it’d be good to check in with her. Plus, the association holds its annual Home Show this weekend at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center (10 am-5 pm Saturday March 9 and 10 am-4 pm Sunday March 10. Free. 201 W Marcy St., 955-6590). Get more info at santafehomeshow.com.

(Julie Ann Grimm) Why did you want to be director of the SFAHBA? I have a long professional history working with homebuilders and within the construction industry in New Mexico. I served as Central New Mexico Homebuilders’ Association government affairs director for eight years, and then after that I was Construction Industries Division director. So I worked on the construction side and then on the regulatory side. I have a good understanding of working on both sides and finding the common ground around issues.

I have always loved being part of the built environment not only because of the importance it has in our society now with home ownership, but also how important it is into our future.

What do you see in the future for Santa Fe’s built environment?

I think that the builders here are thoughtful, whether it be with sustainability or affordability, and I know those are the two big issues. We have to continue addressing carefully as we move forward and build here in Santa Fe. There are a lot of ideas on the table with the current mayor ... and I am looking forward to serving on some of those committees and trying to find solutions. Certainly we need to address the housing crisis that we have, and that is not just addressing affordability but getting homes built. We have, luckily, a lot of jobs coming into the area, especially in the labs, and so we need to find ways we can overcome some of these barriers.

You’ve got the home show coming up. What can people expect to see there?

It’s a really great opportunity. ... They will see remodelers showcasing some of their projects. They are competing for a best remodel, and those projects will be available. There will also be a lot of booths displaying different homes and home goods, whether it comes to kitchens or whatever somebody might be interested in. If somebody has just bought a home it is a great place to go look and get ideas. One of the best features of the home show is there are Lego competitions for Santa Fe area public school kids.

new direction for his well-established Santa Fe theater company. “Ironweed’s looking to more fully embrace diverse American stories,” Harrison said then.

“We’ve done several [American Classics], but I don’t really want that to be the way that we’re seen.”

Ironweed’s first foray into its new storytelling mission is a one-woman show by Georgian immigrant Ketevan Kharshiladze Ussery. Ussery illegally entered the United States in 2000, leaving behind her beloved city of Tbilisi, where she managed a theater and was a successful director. Harrison met her in 2004, at which time she was working on a one-woman show about her experiences.

Ussery was deported in 2007, and then re-entered the United States—legally—in 2011. She and Harrison connected again.

Ussery still wanted to write a one-woman show. “She said, ‘I’d love to

CARRIE McCARTHY

hile Ironweed Productions’ performances of works by playwrights like Arthur Miller, Thornton Wilder and Sam Shepard have impressed townsfolk for nearly 15 years, one theme was pervasive in the company’s repertoire: Lots of dead white men.

Sure, canonical works are canonical for a reason; they’re exceptional. But a significant paradigm shift occurring in art and media and across the country acknowledges at last that women, queer folk and people of color have stories just as viable, and it’s our duty now as stewards of the craft to hand them the mic. (No, we don’t have to “give them a voice.” They have a voice. The dominant narrative just needs to shut up and let them talk.)

Ironweed founder and artistic director Scott Harrison agrees. Back in September, as he prepared for the Santa Fe Theatre Walk, he talked to SFR about a

find an actress to do this,’” Harrison told SFR in September. “I said, ‘I’d love to work on this, but only if you’ll perform it.’”

Now, that 70-minute monologue years in the making comes to Teatro Paraguas for two weekends. Harrison and Ussery invited SFR to a dress rehearsal to get a sneak peek.

In true Santa Fe one-woman-show fashion, there aren’t a ton of bells and whistles with this one; the only set pieces are a chair and two suitcases, and Ussery has a purse with five or six props inside.

Highly effective lighting by Matt Sanford help transition us from “scene” to “scene” in her narrated story, but it’s mostly Ussery’s magnetic expressions and fine storytelling tactics that keep us engaged.

Our town sure loves its one-woman shows, and many tend to share one flaw: They take on too much. It’s understandable that a woman who’s had one hell of an interesting life would want to tell an audience about the whole thing, every major event, down to this very day; and many of the one-woman shows we’ve seen in the last few years accomplish this at the expense of detailed, more writerly storytelling.

Entering the rehearsal for Hidden Treasure, I wondered how Ussery would manage to cram her childhood, her young adulthood, seven years here, three years back in Georgia, then eight years back in the US again all into 70 minutes. I held on tight and prepared to be exhausted by a mad dash through her life.

What a pleasant surprise, then, that Ussery has chosen to focus on just one aspect of her life story: Her very first job in America. We do get a good sense of her childhood and young adulthood through a few anecdotes, and her description

THEATER

of her harrowing entrance to America (Tbilisi to Moscow to Amsterdam to Mexico City to Juarez, then crawling through a 2-mile-long underground tunnel, if you were curious) help us appreciate just how much she reveled in a $10-an-hour retail job on the Santa Fe Plaza.

Despite a raging head cold for which Ussery apologized profusely at the dress rehearsal, her speech was clear and deliberate, and her facial expressions shone like the sun as she talked about her childhood in Georgia under Soviet rule, and how delighted she was to meet “real Americans” at her school at age 7. By her adulthood, when she was artistic director of a 500-seat theater in the vibrant capital city, there was no power, no money; they often had to rehearse by candlelight.

“Dying in the streets is common,” Ussery describes. (Oh, there it is, the everpresent timeliness; I shuddered off the thought of the 25 or so unsheltered folks who freeze in Santa Fe every winter.)

So Ussery came to America where, despite getting happily married and falling in love with the smooth “velvet highways” of the West, she was still an undocumented immigrant. She describes living through a filter; nothing felt quite real, because she wasn’t really supposed to be here.

A world opened up when she was able to get a job, however; and, as is the experience of many in our society, working was both empowering and degrading.

Ussery’s stories of the customers at the jewelry store and powerful threads woven through her time behind the display cases, plus her own experience of making a retail job a theatrical endeavor, are inspiring to hear—but in the end, she was still an employee, and we get frustrated right along with her as she is treated poorly or rendered powerless.

Ussery’s masterful sense of contrast from story to story kept Hidden Treasure flowing like a river. From a smile as bright as a sun to childlike wonder when playing with a little boy in the shop to crouched in a tunnel in Juarez and more, Ussery is like that favorite great-aunt who has nothing but incredible tales to tell—only this time she’s onstage instead of at the kitchen table, and she has an acting background to boot.

And luckily for us, Hidden Treasure is crafted like a superhero movie that just begs for a sequel.

HIDDEN TREASURE: A GEORGIAN IMMIGRANT’S STORY Ketevan Kharshilze Ussery’s one-woman show is not only well-crafted, but it’s a story of the intricate details of being an undocumented immigrant—right from the source.

T

hey say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth—but, for many, the happiest place on Earth is the space in front of a pastry case. When I was in college, one of our favorite dreary-weather outings was to the North End, Boston’s Italian neighborhood, to hover, drooling, in front of the curved, fluorescent-lit glass at Mike’s Pastry. It seemed there was no end to the rows of cakes, cream puffs and cannoli; the only limits were the size of our stomachs and paltry wallets.

In Santa Fe, we are lucky to delight in the bright delicacies lovingly showcased behind the glass at the likes of Clafoutis, Panaderia Zaragoza, Dulce and Chez Mamou. But there is one place where the pastries really stand out, perhaps mostly because they don’t really fit in; and that is shining forth from the charming schtick of Tesuque Village Market (138 Tesuque Village Road, 988-8848).

Whether you’re going for a pizza or enchiladas, to peruse the premium wine selection or to grab a can of San Marzano tomatoes and a package of highquality Italian pasta, it’s hard not to notice the baked goods section. If you’re early enough, the table just inside the door welcomes you with fresh-baked loaves of green chile cheese bread. A serve-yourself case to the left offers breakfast-y baked goods ranging from sticky pecan rolls and muffins to danish and croissants.

Then, there’s the elephant in the room: the hulking, brightly lit, oldschool pastry case. Even if you don’t profess to have a sweet tooth, it’s hard

to resist what’s inside. As I sat near that case one day, eating lunch after a hike, it was impossible not to smile at the exclamations bursting forth from parties lurking around this showstopper. One man let out a good, 30-second “ahhhhhh” of a rumbling exhale as he considered the impossible: a choice from the rows of cheesecake (chocolate and cherry), cream puffs, pies (Key lime, banana cream, apple, rhubarb, chocolate cream), coconut cake, triple chocolate cake, tres leches, eclairs and tiramisu.

Is this all part of Tesuque Village Market’s bric-a-brac charm, or is there a story behind these delectables?

“I inherited them,” is the answer from Michael Stein, Tesuque Village Market’s New York-born Italian co-owner. “And I am very happy I did.”

Stein and his business partners bought the market in 2006, inheriting both its character and its baked goods recipes. While some may comment on how hard Tesuque Village Market has had to work to engineer that “character,” it is, in fact, bygones of the original structure’s former incarnations: chicken coop, filling station, butcher shop and—still—community meeting place. The original Tesuque Village Market opened in 1989 and the baked goods are among its original remaining offerings.

“People with serious baking training get frustrated here because they want to evolve us, and that’s not what we’re about,” points out Stein.

FOOD

You don’t have to be an extremely talented Frenchie to enjoy the baked goods at Tesuque Village Market.

Other pies with flaky crusts and sweet, gooey insides are seasonal—whether due to the fruit or holiday—and can be ordered by the slice and whole ($30). If you’re really craving something out of season, or don’t want to bake during the holidays, call a few days ahead and the Tesuque Village Market bakers will whip you up something delicious.

Let’s not forget the non-dessert baked goods. The green chile cheese bread ($5 for a small, $8 for a large) is fluffy and greasy and spicy and absolutely ideal for a New Mexico-style grilled cheese. It’s not unheard of that Tesuque Village Market staff are asked to freeze and mail loaves to chile-hungry out-of-towners. From the self-serve bakery case, one can procure extra-large flaky croissants and sticky, nutty pecan rolls in addition to muffins, danish and more (all $4) that early birds have always picked off before slackers like me get there.

cream. “If someone knows what they’re doing and you give them the right ingredients, they’re guaranteed to do it even better,” says Stein. “For us it was about quality, not price.”

For $7, one can choose from among the large slices of pie and cake. The most popular are the big squares of tiramisu and Key lime pie. The tiramisu is a fine take on the traditional, more coffee than booze-flavored, its light layers belying the richness of its ingredients. Just the thought of Key lime pie makes me nauseous, as my first, and only, experience with it was after day-drinking too many margaritas in Miami when I was 21. I shook off the bad memories to try this one, and am happy I did. It was light and fluffy, its tart citrus followed by a soothing wave of fresh cream and graham cracker crust crunch. I’d actually eat it again— something I never thought I would ever say about Key lime pie.

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

+ EYE OPENING

Content warning: This review contains disturbing information and language.

After making waves and shocking audiences at Sundance, filmmaker Dan Reed’s explosive two-part, four-hour documentary Leaving Neverland finds its way to HBO, where it finally digs deep into allegations that pop superstar Michael Jackson molested several young boys throughout his career. For some, the film will be a painful sojourn through in-depth interviews with survivors of Jackson’s abuse; for others it will affirm what they’ve believed since charges were first levied against Jackson in 1993. Regardless of which camp you fall into, however, it’s certain that we can no longer ignore the testimony of those who’ve come forward, and it is no longer and option to defend Jackson in any way.

The bulk of the interviews come from Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck, each of whom speak at length about their complicated relationships with Jackson. Each met the man by different means, and through a combination of celebrity obsession, missteps from parents and Jackson’s wellplanned psychological manipulation, they were molested for years while on tour with Jackson, at his Neverland Ranch home and at so-called “hideaway” apartments. The hardest pill to swallow may

AND THOROUGH - QUITE LONG; PERHAPS TOO PAINFUL FOR SOME

be interviews with the parents who insist that, at the time, they felt it perfectly normal that Jackson invited children into his room and bed or, in one case, that they left their child alone with him for an entire week while they visited the Grand Canyon.

Robson and Safechuck’s accounts are damning and detailed—and incredibly similar in terms of how the abuse played out. We believe them.

This makes the first part of Neverland difficult to bear, as it is explicit. The second part isn’t much easier, however, and the personal toll it took on the young men—not to mention the survivor’s guilt they still harbor—becomes the real tragedy. As we know, both men refused to besmirch Jackson’s name for years, discrediting other survivors who were strong enough to come forward and deepening the aftermath’s affect on their lives and families.

Reed provides countless pieces of evidence in the form of photos, video, audio recordings and faxes sent from Jackson to Robson that start seemingly friendly, but devolve into obsessive and terrifying. We learn of houses bought and gifts obtained, of Jackson’s cold and cruel ability to teach

children as young as 7 that sexual acts are just how people show love, regardless of age. And it is every bit as riveting as it is nauseating. This might dredge up uncomfortable feelings about how we regard celebrities, but as Robson points out at one point, people feel like they knew Jackson; he was a part of our lives as far back as we can remember.

The resolution, as it were, is not satisfying. Jackson of course dodged prison and died before he was ever brought to justice. Still, Neverland does force us to ask big questions: Can we still enjoy the music knowing he was a monster? Why are we so quick to defend the famous on such charges?

We believe Robson and Safechuck, but we still aren’t quite sure how to feel about it all. Not good, though—that’s for sure. Regardless, any Jackson defenders need to reassess, and anyone with the fortitude to watch Leaving Neverland should certainly do so.

+ FUN; WORTH KNOWING ABOUT - CONFUSING TRANSITIONS;

INACCESSIBLE ACADEMIC SPEAK

Hard to believe it’s been 100 years since Walter Gropius and a handful of others founded the Bauhaus movement, an aesthetic philosophy that saw no distinction between form and function, eschewing ornamentation. It certainly seems like those founders didn’t even know it would go on to inspire countless artists, dancers, architects and creatives around the world in the way it has. German filmmakers Niels Bolbrinker and Thomas Tielsch understand, though, and their new film Bauhaus Spirit teaches us everything we need to know, even if it veers into the unfocused now and then.

Those who aren’t intimately familiar with Bauhaus may be surprised to learn that it was a utopian physical school in Weimar, Germany, in addition to a then-radical new wave of artistic expression. Students (like Kandinsky, Schlemmer and Albers, just to name a few) and teachers Balconies, we’re told in Bauhaus Spirit, were an important part of the Bauhaus movement.

affected nearly every aspect of creation to this day, even making their way into the building’s design itself—and it still stands, a monument to the so-called weirdos of the day who freaked out the townsfolk of Weimar while expanding their horizons and experimenting and who would end up influencing our culture and design incalculably for the rest of all time.

We travel from Weimar to the favelas of South America, hear from those who continue to live and work with the Bauhaus ethos and see its application in everything from a progressive Swedish school without classrooms, the way in which dance and math feed and influence each other and other such delights. At its heart, Bauhaus Spirit proves without question that fun was a core component of the goings-on, and we long to have played a part in its birth, existence and influence—or to even contribute now.

The film does, however, flail in terms of accessibility. This is not an intro to art doc for those looking to dabble or pick up the basics, nor will it probably spark curiosity for those unfamiliar with the lingering affects of Bauhaus.

It can feel dense and, like the early days of the movement itself, you just kind of have to be onboard to reap its benefits.

Of course, we do, whether we’re aware of that or not; for those looking to learn more or reignite an already-there appreciation, Bauhaus Spirit is a wonderful celebration of the history from which it came and the product of all it wrought. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 95 min.

ISHES; A TWINGE TOO RHETORICAL

The winner of the Jury Prize at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, Capernaum tells the grim story of Zain (Zain Al Rafeea), a 12-year-old Lebanese boy born into extreme poverty.

When he fails to rescue his younger sister from a terrible fate, he runs away from home, disappearing into the crowded slums of Beirut.

Living off his wits and a kind of brainstem survival instinct, Zain improvises clever solutions to lethal dilemmas. He eventually finds a friend in Rahil (Yordanos Shiferaw), an African refugee who lives in a crumbling shantytown with her toddler son, Yonas. When Rahil vanishes, Zain becomes the child’s fierce guardian, wheeling tiny Yonas through the slums in a bucket strapped to a skateboard.

capturing a street-level view of brutal poverty and despair. Lebanese director Nadine Labaki shot the film vérité-style over the course of six months, using handheld cameras, natural light, guerrilla improvisations and nonprofessional actors.

In fact, the real-life stories of the performers parallel events in the film. In one critical scene, refugee mother Rahil is jailed for being undocumented. Three days later, the woman playing Rahil was arrested for the same thing.

The story behind the story of Capernaum is an important part of it. Unfortunately, director Labaki kneecaps her own endeavor with a didactic framing narrative that doesn’t really work. You may read elsewhere that this film is about a kid who sues his parents. Ignore that. It’s technically accurate, but terribly misleading. Roger Ebert had a perfect line for situations like this: “A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it.”

SOY CUBA

+ WEIRDLY HARD TO LOOK AWAY - SO NEEDLESSLY LONG; SUBTEXT PRETTY MUCH BECOMES TEXT

Make no mistake—1964’s Soy Cuba is about as anti-America a propaganda film as there has ever been, but Russian director and cinematographer Mikhail Kalatozov’s vision of a post-Missile Crisis Cuba is shot so beautifully, it’s sometimes hard to absorb the actual contents of the four disparate vignettes set on the island nation. Now, completely remastered in 4K resolution with the assist from America’s own cinematic legends Scorsese and Coppola, audiences have the first chance to see the film since its last wide-ish cinematic foray in 1995.

Kalatozov takes us from the dizzying highs of a Havana rooftop bikini-off to the lowest, darkest corners of the filthiest slums; the disgusting Americans who loudly take what they want; the poverty-stricken farmer whose land is sold out from under him. Revolutionary students take to the streets to vie for Castro, women forced into prostitution sell their faith, and the shadow of the US-backed Batista looms over everything like some omnipresent boogeyman we’re meant to hate.

And so we do. Oddly, or perhaps just as it was intended, Soy Cuba begins to sway us—or at least make us understand. Besides, Americans are loud and boorish and easy to hate.

FOR SHOWTIMES AND MORE REVIEWS, VISIT SFREPORTER.COM

MOVIES

Soy Cuba might just turn you against America. Haha! Just kidding, any authoritarian overlords who happen to be reading this. USA! USA! USA! Why did we hate Cuba for so long anyway?

Besides, Kalatozov’s technical prowess is undeniable, particularly in shots that descend sheer towers or pan through windows then soar over citizen-packed city streets without even the hint of a cut. How such shots were possible so cleanly in 1964 is anyone’s guess, but Soy Cuba is rumored to have had an astronomical budget from its joint government backers in Cuba and Russia. The film was near-universally reviled at the time of its release and has largely remained unseen, save now and again when it’s pulled out and pointed to as a historically relevant time capsule. Which it is, of course, and evocatively so, even if it lags toward the middle.

As a cinematic accomplishment, Soy Cuba is astonishing and utterly gorgeous. As a propaganda flick, it’s chilling to think of the particulars of the era. Still, it’s a cinephile’s dream laid out in impossibly crisp black and white and a significant must for any film or history buffs. (ADV) The Screen, NR, 108 min.

WORLDS OF URSULA K LE GUIN

+ GREAT SUBJECT; COOL ANIMATION - A LITTLE SPARSE; COVERS THE SAME GROUND A LOT

Worlds of Ursula K Le Guin from director Arwen Curry does a fine enough job celebrating the life of the groundbreaking sci-fi novelist through interviews with family and those she impacted like Neil Gaiman or Margaret Atwood, but rather than feel like a love letter to a personal hero, the documentary reads almost like a sales pitch to people who already bought what Curry’s selling ages ago.

Le Guin, who died last year, of course shattered barriers in the sci-fi world at a time when the bulk of its tales lay firmly in the hands of male authors and hidden in 10-cent pulp paperbacks shoved into bookstore back rooms.

By the late 1960s, she had a bevy of stories under her belt and novels like A Wizard of Earthsea tearing up sexist preconceived notions and making her a bit of a literary and feminist hero.

And that’s fantastic. But other than a handful of moments about how critics didn’t get her and how she was unparalleled when it came to world-building, we mostly get a bunch of people saying the same thing over and over again: Le Guin was amazing; Le Guin wasn’t appreciated when she was at the height of her powers; Le Guin influenced writers we all love today; Le Guin was a champion.

This is all very true—Le Guin was a brilliant writer (notice we italicized “brilliant”), and though Curry’s footage of the author herself and some light biography is fairly interesting, we aren’t told much that would be valuable to anyone who isn’t a newcomer. Thus, the film feels like a bit of video Cliff’s Notes or a nice way to kill about an hour in a junior high classroom somewhere. We were hoping for a deeper look at her history or maybe even a little less gushing. Either way, Worlds of Ursula K Le Guin does have some cool animated sections and will surely dazzle longtime fans or maybe win over a few new ones. We just don’t think it’ll go down in history quite like Le Guin did.

The same techniques pros use to produce high-performance K9 teams can help you to enter a new world of enjoyment and satisfaction with your dog. (No pet dogs allowed in the library.)

Week of March 6th, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Genius inventor Thomas Edison rebelled against sleep, which he regarded as wasteful. He tried to limit his time in bed to four hours per night so he would have more time to work during his waking hours. Genius scientist Albert Einstein had a different approach. He preferred ten hours of sleep per night, and liked to steal naps during the day, too. In my astrological opinion, Aries, you’re in a phase when it makes more sense to imitate Einstein than Edison.

Important learning and transformation are happening in your dreams. Give your nightly adventures maximum opportunity to work their magic in your behalf.

astrological omens, I urge you to commune with other dull but meaningful things. Seek out low-key but rich offerings. Be aware that unexciting people and situations may offer clues and catalysts that you need.

It’ll fourteenth century, and may have first emerged during be interesting to see how you do that as you also try to heed your rule that information is power. a critical military struggle that established the Danish empire in 1219.
