WEDNESDAY 11 APRIL AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Anyone who truly cares about children must be repelled by the insistence on ranking them, rating them, and labeling them. Whatever the tests measure is not the sum and substance of any child. The tests do not measure character, spirit, heart, soul, potential. When overused and misused, when attached to high stakes, the tests stifle the very creativity and ingenuity that our society needs most. Creativity and ingenuity stubbornly resist standardization. Tests should be used sparingly to help students and teachers, not to allocate rewards and punishments and not to label children and adults by their scores.

WEDNESDAY 18 APRIL AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Rachel Kushner’s first novel, Telex from Cuba, is set in Oriente, Cuba, in an expat community funded by the United Fruit Company and a nickel mine, during the years leading up to Castro’s revolution.

Of the book, the New York Times wrote, “Out of tropical rot, Kushner has fashioned a story that will linger like a whiff of decadent Colony perfume.” Her second novel, The Flamethrowers, is set mostly in the mid-1970s and follows the life of Reno, so named for her place of birth, a young artist who comes to New York intent on marrying her love of motorcycles, speed, and art. The title takes its name from weapons used by the Italian Arditi, a division of elite shock troops that operated during the First World War. Kushner has twice been a finalist for the National Book Award and is a Guggenheim Fellow.

Her fiction and essays appear regularly in the New York Times, the Paris Review, The Believer, Artforum, Bookforum, Fence, Bomb, and Grand Street.

Michael Silverblatt is the host of KCRW’s Bookworm, a nationally syndicated radio program showcasing writers of fiction and poetry.

NEWS, MARCH 7: “GOING LONG ON SHORT-TERM RENTALS”

GHOST TOWNS Our neighborhoods are ghost towns, which serves no one. There are only a sprinkling of voters left—no one who is invested in our community. Off Hyde Park, there are multiple “developments” with 26 percent occupancy. Multimillionaires like Ernie Romero are still pushing through building more of these ghost houses. Check out his proposal for Estancias del Norte—the planning commission just passed the preliminary plans on a site that in 1995 was deemed unstable by the US Department of Conservation.

It would cause inexcusable risk for all the residents who live below it. Mr. Romero will walk away with more millions and zero future responsibility. ENOUGH.

JENNIFER JOHNSON VIA FACEBOOK

WTF, STR? Somewhere around 2005, I began to ask the city of Santa Fe to enforce its ordinance that forbid the renting of residential houses for less than 30 days. Our little dirt dead end street of 11 homes in the historic neighborhood had two or three short term rentals with heavy turnover; I testified to the council that it was like living in a motel parking lot. ... The city refused to enforce its ordinance, but they did hold a series of hearings to hear from the community about this issue. These hearings were heavily weighted by the short-term industry; the

council ended up changing the law to permit this intense commercial use in residential neighborhoods. Even after this change, the city did not enforce the new ordinance either and actually claimed that they’d received only two complaints in 10 years.

There are now five STR permits on the little street with 11 homes. ... Are there really not enough hotel/motel rooms in Santa Fe to accommodate our tourists?

I attended the council meeting when they ruled to expand the number of permitted STR from 350 to 1,000. … [It] was a glaring example of selling out the city and its young people for short-term profit. Each councilor gave lip service to affordable housing. ...

Many other communities around the world struggle with this violation of neighborhoods.

There’s nothing to see here about solving this problem. We’ve sold out.

STAHP I enjoy reading your food articles in the Santa Fe Reporter, since I have a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and have a fondness for cooking and fine dining.

However, in your most recent article, I was taken aback with your writing.

The first sentence of the second paragraph reads, “Winter in Santa Fe is a rough time for restaurants to open, especially a snowless, dry season like this one that cockblocks any kind of tourist presence...”

I wonder why you felt compelled to use the word “cockblocks,” and why the editor felt it was okay to go ahead and print it.

plan, but what about the incredible creative media of the current college: drama, film-making, music, art and design? We need these—and the people who create them—to be part of the new campus, continuing to contribute much to our community, as they have for so long.

ANNA KATHERINE SANTA FE

JUDGING BY THE COVER I am a former SFUAD student, and … I wanted to write in to express how insensitive and disrespectful I think this cover is. Not the article itself, as the actual content and story were in-depth and very pro-student, but the cover in particular I thought was incredibly unfair to SFUAD’s students. ...

That campus is not “nowhere.” I lived there myself for two years and attended classes for three, and it was the first place I ever felt a sense of community or home.

I know many students have had the same experience I had, of loving SFUAD’s campus despite its issues. It is not “nowhere” to us. ...

As a student who couldn’t finish at SFUAD, I don’t think it’s okay to represent our campus in this way. I think that this title and cover choice were an appeal to pity, an attempt by the Reporter to get attention and be sensational. While the content of the article wasn’t bad at all, this cover is what the people of Santa Fe are going to be seeing first - and we as students don’t want our entire city believing that our campus is nowhere. ...

I have encouraged other students to write in, and I think that we deserve an apology. ... If you were really on our side, as the article suggests you are, you would know there is a better way to speak about us and what we’ve lost.

NEWS, FEBRUARY 28: “YES HE CAN”

Y THO? I could not help writing to you about your very brief and seemingly pointless interview with Steve Pearce. It was brief in every way and I am puzzled why it was written. There is so much to say about Pearce and his very conservative voting and political history on record that goes beyond the couple of issues you asked him about. He comes off as a benign representative of the people who wants to be liked—if only they knew how great he is!

What about his extreme stands and votes? What about Sarah Palin’s endorsement? What about his “birther” position regarding Pres. Obama? ... How did you let him explain away climate change with his stupid little tale of landing in the Kiribati Islands, which face rising sea levels, but “haven’t disappeared?” I just can’t believe you summed it all up with, “Pearce is a big-self determination guy. And that’s what gets him out of the door early each morning, in a new town with new people to convince he’s their guy.”

I believe you wasted very valuable space that could have given voters a more detailed look at this guy’s record!

Secret Stash How Santa Fe fought to keep its police weapons inventory secret, and why the chief says it’s no big deal

B Y M AT T G R U B S m a t t g r u b s @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

cting Santa Fe Police Chief Andrew Padilla doesn’t have an issue with the public knowing how his officers are armed.

“It’s no secret what we have,” an affable Padilla tells SFR on a recent afternoon. “We have no top-secret weapons, things that might be in the perception of media or on television shows.”

He’s half right.

An SFR review of the department’s weapons, ammo and select special equipment didn’t reveal anything jaw-dropping. There aren’t any uber-caliber guns like a .50-cal (the chief can’t envision a need for one) and there are no uranium-tipped bullets. There’s plenty of firepower and some less-lethal force options that raise questions.

Padilla was willing to talk about all of it.

But the city, through Assistant City Attorney Zach Shandler, has been more willing to apply tortured legal reasoning to the state’s transparency laws than to release information about how it arms the officers whose job it is to keep the peace.

Last fall, SFPD spokesman Greg Gurule refused a request for the inventory, citing a public records exemption that protects tactical response plans from publication.

Weapons inventories, of course, contain no such plans. They’re lists.

Police departments maintain them religiously (or should) because of the need to know who’s shooting those guns and how many times, and because a missing gun that shows up down the road as a weapon used in a crime is a galactic embarrassment.

Guns, ammunition and other equipment that the public has paid for to arm its police force is of clear public interest. But the city didn’t see it that way.

“Providing the types and quantity of armament used by our police officers would but [sic] our officers and the citizens we protect in a vul-

nerable position by giving anyone who is planning to create a problem information on our capabilities and weaknesses,” Gurule wrote.

The problem with that explanation is, to borrow a phrase from the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, it’s “interpretive jiggery-pokery.” And when the Albuquerque Police Department tried the same watery excuse, a state District Court judge didn’t buy it. The city might as well refuse to disclose how many officers it employed or the condition of the cars they drove, Judge Alan Malott wrote in 2015. It just didn’t make sense, and Malott ordered APD to cough up the inventory.

When SFR disputed Gurule’s logic with Santa Fe higher-ups, Shandler

ASSAULT-STYLE RIFLES

produced a list of 34 kinds of weapons owned by the department. It was a spreadsheet with a single column that included a World War II-era rifle and two types of weapons that, according to the list, hadn’t even been issued to officers.

The department has more than five times that number of sworn officers, and far more than 34 working at once. Unless officers were sharing guns on duty, the “inventory” Shandler provided was a sham.

Through attorney Daniel Yohalem, SFR complained.

“When I asked for a document, this was the document that was provided,” came Shandler’s response. The law, he explained, doesn’t require the city to create an inventory “just because your client believes such a document should exist.”

Ironically, there’s no good reason the list Shandler initially forked over should exist. Picture the chief of police shouting, “Give me a list of all the types of weapons we have! No, not how many! I just want to see what it is we’re shooting out there.

Yes, it should include guns we haven’t issued!”

After demanding that SFR make another request (four months after the first

one) and suggesting SFR was trying to engage in “shuttle diplomacy” by hiring an attorney to force the city to follow the law, Shandler produced an actual inventory on March 2.

And so, Acting Chief Padilla picked up the phone to chat with SFR about how the department arms its officers.

“We provide them with the latest and greatest technology which we can afford within our budget,” Padilla explains.

Each officer gets a .40-caliber Glock handgun which is with them 24/7. “If they’re using the restroom at a gas station, on a call for service … if they had to defend their lives or someone else’s, that would be the weapon they would use right then and there.”

Officers are also assigned an AR-15 or M4 rifle, of which the department has 173 combined, a Remington Model 870 shotgun and a Taser stun gun. It’s enough to keep safe both officers and the public, Padilla says.

While the department is transitioning to newer Tasers that deliver less electricity to the people officers target, it still relies on the Taser X26, a model the Arizona-based law enforcement giant no longer sells. Taser has never admitted the X26 shocks people with more electricity than is safe or necessary, but it’s been sued scores of times for deaths related to the weapon’s use.

Padilla says concerns about the relative strength of the X26—it delivers double the jolt of the newer models—have never come up at SFPD. The older Tasers are around, in part, because the company sometimes offers buy-back deals that can shave a couple hundred dollars off the price of a newer weapon, the acting chief says.

Santa Fe police also have specialized units, including a SWAT team that utilizes five sniper rifles. They were on rooftops during the Entrada last summer as well as during Zozobra. Especially during the burning of Old Man Gloom, the weapons were visible.

“The public [who see this] should know that they are safe and secure at this event,” Padilla says. “This is nothing new. For the last 20-plus years we’ve always had our observers at Zozobra.”

“We’re training constantly,” he says.

And he doesn’t have an issue with the public knowing how his officers are armed, because “these weapons are to protect them, and to protect the officers’ lives.”

n trash day, you also roll your blue recycle cart out to the curb, having done your best to sort out plastic bottles, cans and paper. This simple act, replicated thousands of times across Santa Fe and millions of times across the country, is our only contact with the vast international recycling industry that has recently been thrown into complete chaos by Chinese President Xi Jinping 6,600 miles from Santa Fe. The change is already costing Santa Fe city and county governments real money, and the future of the recycling system as we now think we know it is up in the air.

Following the local decision to close a sorting facility on Santa Fe’s west side, the majority of recyclables in the blue cart here were trucked to Albuquerque, sorted by workers, baled up and shipped to California ports where they were loaded onto container ships bound for China to be processed and made into new products.

This was how recycling was done all over the Western US until July, when Xi launched a campaign against what he calls yang laji, or “foreign garbage.” New Mexico and the rest of the Western United States had become almost completely dependent on China to buy our recyclables, and adjustments hit the local market early this year.

The bales of material going to China under the near-ban contained about 5

percent contaminants, even after manual sorting by teams of workers in Albuquerque and elsewhere. Once in China, that unusable material— millions of tons, according to Xi’s figures—had to be sent to Chinese landSanta Fe’s recyclables get trucked to Albuquerque for sorting, and officials say now it’s more important that fills to combine with the loads are not contaminated with trash, food, Styrofoam or other no-nos. waste of 1.4 billion Chinese people.

FORMER US DIPLOMAT IN CUBA URGES CHANGE ON FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC POLICIES FROM HER RETIREMENT IN SANTA FE

uring her time as the highest-ranking diplomat in Cuba, Vicki Huddleston faced down Fidel Castro at a party, provided thousands of otherwise isolated people with a way to learn more about the outside world, and won awards with an Afghan hound she named after the city of Havana—all while few women held positions of power within the State Department. She was there in 2000 when Elián González showed up floating in the ocean, and when the first prisoners landed at Guantanamo Bay in 2002.

And while she could be relaxing in retirement at her home on the west side of Santa Fe, she’s now on another diplomatic mission: to warn America about the danger of US policy toward Cuba. Huddleston served under Presidents Clinton and George W Bush as chief of the US Interests Section in Havana, and earlier under President George HW Bush, she was in charge of the nation’s Cuba policy at the State Department. She has witnessed the see-saw of US-Cuba relations, with Democrats traditionally pushing for more open channels and Republicans flexing on the prospect that continued

embargo and punishment will lead to regime change.

Her memoir, rushed to press in response to waning sanity in Washington, serves as a primer on recent history and points to bad omens of the past threatening to repeat themselves—or worse.

“It is well past the time that we stop making Cuba a glaring exception to the way we engage with countries around the world whose political systems we oppose,” she writes in Our Woman in Havana. She adds later that by maintaining an economic embargo, “we undermine both countries’ political and economic interests, deprive our country of a potential strategic ally, and create unnecessary division among our allies.”

Just 90 miles from the Florida coast, this is the neighbor we should be fixated on, she argues. It’s a fraught scenario playing out on the global stage, and yet the foreign policy under the Trump Administration projects a chilling forecast.

Cuba is returning to close relations with Russia and moving into a tighter bond with China. The governments of those nations, Huddleston points out, are no friends to the US. And with the president giving Secretary of State Rex Tillerson the ax and aiming to replace him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, diplomatic turnover contributes to greater uncertainty.

Cuba is set to undergo elections that could lead to a succession of power away from President Raúl Castro, who rose to power not long before his brother Fidel died. The date of the planned transition has been a moving target, however, and with the United States clenching its fists rather than extending a hand, hardliners in the island nation’s Communist Party leadership aren’t likely to entertain reforms.

SFR caught up with Huddleston in between speeches in Miami and Los Angeles, and in advance of a reading and book signing at Collected Works Bookstore and Coffeehouse (6:30 pm Thursday March 22.

Free. 202 Galisteo St., 988-4226).

SFR: In the 1990s, when you first got to Cuba, there were very few women diplomats.

Did you do anything to help break the glass ceiling?

Not in Cuba. Cuba is an authoritarian state, so, you know, we were enemy number one. We were listened to, we were watched. No one was tailing my car when I went out in the countryside, but they knew where I was. If the car broke down, someone would be finding it very fast.

And there is just not much crime in Cuba.

So Cuba is safe. In Mali and Haiti, it was, in fact, dangerous. My car was shot at. It had a bullet hole in it. In Mali, we were in the way north Sahara Desert where the Salafast were operating, and there were land mines and there was a possibility

people in different countries and I liked listening to them and I liked helping them. I really like the idea of making a difference.

Explaining the US diplomatic mission in Cuba is tricky. You have the title of ambassador because you served in that post in other countries, but during your time in Cuba as the highest-ranking diplomat, you were only allowed to be chief of the United States interest section, right?

The official name was principal officer.

But the myth that we had no diplomatic relations with Cuba is—a myth. We were

There were a couple of women who were in the generation before me, the very first ones, that had a class action suit, but I don’t really think I did anything myself, specifically. Hopefully I did a good enough job to make it seem as though it would be reasonable to have women in high positions. … But we have had Hillary [Clinton] and Condoleezza [Rice] as the secretaries of state, and assistant secretaries of state, and far more women ambassadors than there used to be—so this is getting rolled back a bit now.

There’s one story in the book where you have to outrun private security guards at a mine, and a whole chapter about your distribution of thousands of transistor radios to the people of Cuba against the wishes of the revolution leaders. You’re kind of a badass and a risk-taker. Why approach it this way?

I think it is my personality. If you go back, I was handing out these little AM/ FM radios, and members of my staff who wished to—they were not forced to—were doing the same, and I loved it.

At that time [there was] no internet, no cell phones, books were expensive—Castro said that they weren’t censored, but they weren’t available. So most people who had radios didn’t get news from outside because they weren’t strong enough to pick up the signals. So here was this little radio. Everybody loved it and wanted it—from kids to, as you read in the book, a security official. It was, ‘OK, I can have access to news and information.’ … Cuban people really wanted them. I did not want to stop. Fidel did his best to stop me, however.

in the Philippines. But that is the only good thing. I was there in January. The gates of the embassy are locked. There is a chain around them. Nobody is coming in and out except the employees. We usually issued 20,000 immigrant visas a year and we’re now not issuing visas for families to go see each other or for business or for exchanges. … They’re not doing any public diplomacy. We’re very limited on who is available to do reporting, and Cuba is about to go through a transition—or a succession, which is probably a better word—from a Castro for the first time in almost 60 years. And we don’t really have the staff to know what is going on.

When you wrote the book, the assumed date of the transition was February.

In December, the Cuban government officially postponed the presidential appointment for the successor to Raúl Castro. Now the date has moved to April. Is it out of the question to think the election won’t happen?

ALEXANDRA HUDDLESTON

In fact, the State Department discriminated against women until about the ’80s. It was considered really a man’s profession, and it was very East Coast and often seen as elitist—and then they realized this is no way to represent the American people. There has got to be a broader and deeper organization with women and minorities. And so they began to change, and that is when I went in, in ’77, which was the beginning of the change. Women were just coming in to high positions after 20 years. When I was in charge of the Office of Cuban affairs from ’91 to ’93, I was the only woman office director at the time in the Western Hemisphere. There were relatively few [female] ambassadors, too.

Was it dangerous?

that you might encounter them; although we always had Mali military with us, so I was never particularly worried. But those are much more worrisome and dangerous spots. And foreign service officers who served in Iraq and Iran and Syria, and places like that—that’s really dangerous.

More senior foreign service officers have lost their lives than generals in the United States military.

So why do it? Why is this work important to you?

I have to admit it was great fun, but what was important to me was to represent my country. It was such an honor. To meet people abroad—I liked learning about

in our old embassy building, which is now the embassy; it is a beautiful glass building on the Malecón. But I was the first foreign ambassador to go to Cuba since the 1950s-’60s, when we broke relations. I told my staff they could call me ambassador, and when I did that the Cubans called me ambassador, because they liked the idea of having someone of higher rank.

And also their person in Washington was a former ambassador. It’s all reciprocal, so the Cubans are in their former embassy on 16th Street, and people called him ambassador.

And now we’ve sent the most senior person we have ever sent to Cuba [Lawrence Gumbiner]; he was our ambassador

The local elections are underway now.

But, with the US threatening, it is not out of the question. In fact, that might have been the real reason they pushed it back.

They said they pushed it back—and it’s a valid reason—because the elections had to be pushed back from the devastation from Hurricane Irma. And if the elections are pushed back, then there is not a national assembly, which technically chooses the council of ministers and the next president. So that is a legitimate reason to push it back.

On the other hand, it gave Raúl Castro time to negotiate a deal that he will soon sign with Russia, in which Russia will take over from Venezuela the operation of the Cienfuegos oil refinery. So that is very important because, with Venezuela becoming bankrupt, Cuba is losing a source of petroleum and a close ally, and it looks as if they’re going to return to Russia and China. And China is Cuba’s largest foreign trade partner, and Russia and China are set to provide Cuba with military training and military equipment.

Why is that bad for the United States?

Russia and China are not our best friends.

They are our competitors. We have different approaches, and China has never been aggressively in our face in the Western Hemisphere, but China is very much expanding in Africa and could very much be a competitor for minerals and influence in Africa. Russia is actually the danger. Russia is not a friendly country to us—they interfered in our elections, and they will try to do it again. They don’t appreciate our kind of democratic system CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

that we have, and they feel that NATO and the United States are a threat to their hegemony in Eastern Europe. So if Russia can have a foothold in Cuba, then if we do something in Europe that they don’t like and feel is threatening to them, then they have the possibility of countering us in Cuba, ie the missile crisis. Kruschev put the missiles in Cuba, but the deal the committee arranged was that we would not invade and we would take our missiles out of Turkey. That was the real key. So you see the relationship plays out in the strategic balance in Europe.

dia. Why it is important for diplomats to understand the media?

Do you think that people in the United States today really have an understanding of the history with Cuba and this bigger global consequence of our relationship?

Yes and no. Yes, in that they are very much aware of Cuba because everybody knows the Bay of Pigs. Everybody knows the missile crisis. Many people remember little Elián found floating in the inner tube in the Florida Straits. Many people remember the shooting down of two civilian planes by Cuba. And many people remember Alan Gross and their five spies—or heroes, as you wish—who were incarcerated in the United States. So since the US is always having this tense, fraught relationship with Cuba, I’d say that people probably know as much about Cuba as you could expect. Although maybe not as much as Mexico. Cuba still is our third-closest neighbor. It’s water that separates us rather than a border.

I think what they don’t grasp, and that is not surprising, is the issue of US-Cuban relations is surrounded by myths, lies and misunderstandings. First of all, most Americans, when I say that I was head of our diplomatic mission in Cuba, they go, ‘No, we did not have a diplomatic mission in Cuba.’

They don’t understand that Cuba is a matter of domestic politics. Essentially, Al Gore lost the presidency because of

The only land entrance to Guantanamo Naval Base.

this little kid. … Clinton decided to send back Elián if the courts agreed, but he thought that was a way that he could escape political damage. It turned out to be the worst decision, because it took the courts six months and then it went to the Supreme Court to send back Elián—and so then the Cubans had el voto castigo, the punishment vote, and they were very active against Gore in not providing financing, and then stopping the recount of the hanging chads. Gore lost by 500 votes, and had he had a few Cuban-American votes, he would’ve won Florida and he would have been president.

You were also there during the opening of the war detention in Guantanamo Bay. How do you view that?

Nobody, no country in the world, including our allies, was interested in holding those combatants who were captured in Afghanistan by our troops. There were some from other places as well, but they were all basically associated or thought to be associated with Al Qaida. … We did not want to bring them to trial right away, because we did not want them back on the battlefield. And in Cuba, in Guantanamo,

according to the treaty, Cuba retained sovereignty, but because the base was run by the US military, Cuba laws did not apply, nor did the United States’—only military laws. So it was the perfect place. And a long ways away from the battlefield in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

When Guantanamo operations later became exposed, it became less perfect. Do you agree with that?

The unlawful combatants, first of all, remained incarcerated for much longer than anyone might have imagined. The war was over and they were still incarcerated. And part of that, of course, was the fear that they would go back to their old ways, and we didn’t want more Americans killed. So you can see why that happened, but it still makes us look pretty bad. And the second part of that is, in essence, they were mistreated, and that leaves a blot on the United States history and may turn out very badly when US military personnel are captured, because perhaps they won’t be treated like they should be under the Geneva Convention.

It seemed like you got fairly adept at tackling both the Cuban and US me-

Some ambassadors—and to me, it is a mistake—will publicly criticize the leader of a government by name. You are sent to a country to have a relationship with them, whether they’re friendly or unfriendly, and if you criticize the government, particularly by saying that Fidel Castro is whatever, then what kind of relationship are going to be able to have? And how can you adequately represent your government? I mention in the book that after I went to this big rally that Fidel Castro held against me, with 20,000 people, for handing out of the radios, I came back to the intersection and one of the human rights activists was waiting for me and he said, ‘Be careful Vicki, because we want you to stay here.’

Do you have any observations about the state of the media today?

The media is really standing up. They are exposing fake and false news and they’re not being intimidated when President Trump scorns them or tweets against them. … Unfortunately, it is never pleasant to be in that kind of situation. And I think both the media and the foreign service are in the same situation. Both of them are kind of scorned by the president and this administration. Entré into the foreign service has fallen precipitously; I don’t know whether that has happened in the media, but that is what scares me the most. Because both of those professions are really essential to our democracy.

Are there any similarities between the way Fidel Castro treated and talked about the media and the way Donald Trump does?

Autocrats generally don’t like the media.

And Fidel liked total control of the media because he wanted to ensure total control of Cuba. And in a way, I think that President Trump—who, of course, is working within a democratic system, so he can’t

have that kind of total control—what he really doesn’t like is criticism. And that is, as the media has said from time to time, sort of the nature of a wouldbe autocrat.

We wished the men good luck, left our radios and books, and started back to Havana. It wasn’t long before I saw a woman trudging along the side of a dirt road. I stopped and offered her a ride. Once she was settled in the car, I handed her a radio. When I glanced back, tears were running down her cheeks. When I asked why she was crying, she replied, “Now, I have a birthday present for my son.” After dropping her off and finding our way onto a paved road, we picked up two young women to whom I also gave a couple of radios. One asked, “Can I have two more?” The girls explained that they wanted radios for their brothers who were imprisoned in the large gray building we had passed a mile back. They had been sentenced to twenty years for killing a neighbor’s pig.

I had now been in Cuba almost three years. The longer I stayed,the more I liked the country and the people, and the sorrier I felt for those who were forced to live under the omnipresent and pervasive control of the Castro regime. There was no doubt in my mind that Cubans were deprived of essential freedoms, but I didn’t think that our policy of isolation was an effective way to bring about change. I believed that the best way to promote change in Cuba was by empowering the Cuban people. Helping to keep them poor and isolated only helped Castro to maintain control. Yet everything we did to enable the Cuban people to seek change depended on the regime’s forbearance. If we were too aggressive, Castro would smash our endeavors by throwing me or my officers out of the country or by jailing the dissidents. But I was finding it increasingly difficult to assess the costs and benefits of my actions, like the radio distribution program. Sometimes I wanted to aggressively confront the oppressive power of the Cuban state, yet I knew that this was dangerous, and I was already treading near the edge of Castro’s patience.

Having successfully delivered radios to supporters of Project Varela, I decided to take a six-day tour of the island, which is shaped like a shark jumping out of the sea. I planned that Victor and I would drive from Havana, at the base of the shark’s head, down its spine to the second-largest city, Santiago de Cuba, located on the shark’s tail.

During our travels, we met with government officials, average citizens, and dissidents, leaving behind radios and books with everyone but the officials. Our first stop was the large city of Camaguey in central Cuba, where we visited

Is there a way that our citizens can drive a different relationship with Cuba, or do we have to ride this out until something else changes in our country?

First of all, people can still go to Cuba, and they should. … If Americans will keep traveling to Cuba, that will help Cubans continue their entrepreneurial activity, which leads to an open society. Secondly, the tragedy of Cuba is that there are five laws that mandate the embargo. So it makes the policy a presidential policy.

The American people do need to speak up. This policy is not in our national interest. How can we have a country that is 90 miles off our shore that is our enemy? That is crazy. We need all the Caribbean to be our allies and friends. This is our backyard. We need to see economic and political development, and that helps our own security. Instead we have just neglected it. We have just got this whole issue about the Caribbean and Cuba wrong, and by getting it wrong we jeopardize our national security because we open the door to China and to Russia.

But people don’t understand how much it is against our national interest. And certainly, unless they go to Cuba, they don’t understand how much the Cuban people are suffering.

The embargo has kept food and medicine from Cuba by cutting off supplies from foreign companies that have US subsidiaries. And it has kept Cuba isolated; because of the communication part of the embargo, it’s been hard for radio and television to hook up with Cuba. We are our own worst enemy in Cuba.

three Protestant churches. I left several cartons of radios with a young, dynamic pastor of a large Baptist church. He was delighted, until the next morning when he showed up sheepishly at our hotel to ask that we take the radios back.

He apologized profusely, but did not explain his decision.

It was clear he had been warned not to keep them.

The next day we reached the small village of El Cobre where Cuba’s patron saint, the Virgin of Charity, is enshrined in a basilica that overlooks the bay surrounding Santiago de Cuba. She is known as the Mambisa Virgin because she was venerated by Cuba’s independence fighters—called Mambises—who fought alongside Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders. Jewels and small favors left by the humble and the mighty were displayed in a glass container. Ernest Hemingway gave his Nobel Prize for the story of a Cuban fisherman, The Old Man and the Sea, to the virgin. Hemingway loved Cuba, where he lived until shortly before his death in a beautiful home called Finca Vigía (Lookout House) on a hill outside Havana. We didn’t leave any radios with the virgin but we did drop off a few in El Cobre.

When we reached Santiago de Cuba, dissidents were waiting for us in a wooden three-story house, likely built in the early twentieth century.

We were escorted up a few flights of rickety stairs and ushered into a room that seemed to have been set up solely to receive us. There were a few chairs, but no tables, rugs, or pictures. Before we could exchange pleasantries, one of the dissidents took the carton of radios from Victor, thanked him, and disappeared. The dissidents explained that they knew that state security was watching us and, fearing that the radios would be confiscated, planned to immediately give them to their members. I was troubled because it seemed as if we had inadvertently become involved in subversive activities.

I suggested that I might stop the distribution to prevent them from being harassed or jailed. “Oh, no,” they exclaimed, “the radios are well worth the risk. They connect us, so we aren’t alone.”

Let’s Not Just Keep This Between Us ELIZABETH MILLER

Santa Fean organizes more ways for more people to push themselves outdoors

BY ELIZABETH MILLER e l i z a b e t h @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he mantra “swing and flick, swing and flick” carries me easily up the first half of a frozen waterfall—the low-angled ice at the bottom where I’d seen Peter Olson scramble up just minutes before to set a top rope on the route.

Then the wall steepens, and this foray into ice climbing starts to feel less like a steep walk in weird boots and more like actual climbing. I swing borrowed ice tools, flick my wrist to sink the pick into the ice, kick the toe-spikes of loaner crampons in, and hope all these shiny metal points hold.

Olson’s full-time job is at Santa Fe County, but he’s in the business of recruiting more people to the great outdoors however he can. He’s race director for the Endurance Santa Fe (formerly Ultra Santa Fe) races of 1 mile to 50 miles that start and finish at Ski Santa Fe, is coordinating a horses-versushumans race at Caja del Rio on Memorial Day weekend, and organizes PhatAss, casually competitive trail runs that have sent runners on trails on winter nights, and for a 12-mile route that climbed four peaks “depending on how lost you got,” he writes in his email introduction.

“I like to provide opportunities for people to experience the same things I’ve experienced as a runner, whether that’s freedom, a clear head, or having fun with a bunch of other people,” he says. “Running is such a good every-person kind of sport. … It’s not like you have to have a certain

Ice climbing is just one of the outdoor sports Peter Olson wants you to get into.

skill or learn a certain technique or come from a certain economic background.”

Whether they show up at these starting lines or not, what he hopes to see are more people outdoors trying new sports or testing their limits, which is how I’ve landed on a frozen waterfall. He coaches, organizes group events, and takes the occasional journalist out to climb—in part to offer what wasn’t available when he was an aspiring climber and runner.

“I always had to just go out and do things—I didn’t always have somebody to

show me how to do stuff, so I had to learn by myself,” he says.

When he first started ice climbing, it required hiking solo up and down the creek running from his college campus in Duluth, Minnesota, to Lake Superior.

The creek dropped 600 feet in a couple miles, so he could learn on short, vertical ice in gear borrowed from a friend. He had just one tool (two would be customary), “ancient” crampons and boots two sizes too big and so filled with three pairs of socks.

I called that hardcore. Olson insists it was a good time.

“I think people get a little intimidated when they see these sharp tools in your hands and sharp, pointy things on your feet, but I think it’s just so much fun,” he says. “I like to bring people and expose them to new things and see the look on their face and see the happiness and joy they feel—I know that’s kind of corny.

But it’s why I coach, and why I put on the runs. I like to give people the opportunity to do more things and get outside their comfort level a little bit.”

In September, he waited at the finish line to greet people as they completed the 50-kilometer race at the ski basin.

A runner who’d flown from New York City to complete the run for his birthday told him he’d cursed Olson’s name every step of the last 6 miles, but in the end said, “This was the best birthday present ever.” That runner plans to return this fall, Olson says.

To prep this summer, he’ll organize trail maintenance work and weekly runs starting in mid-April (details available at endurancesantafe.com).

“People ask about, ‘How much money do you make putting these races on?’

And for me, it’s not about the money,” Olson says. “I don’t do it for the income.

I do it for the outcome, because I like to see these people cross the finish line and I like to see the sense of accomplishment they’ve achieved for themselves, and I like to have given them the opportunity to spur themselves or to find something deep within themselves. For me that’s what running does; you feel like quitting but you don’t. You keep pushing on, and you feel something that gives you a little boost.”

Thomson, too, has participated in this and other drawing groups since he arrived here in 1976, and he speaks fondly of the concept of drawing from a live model. “Many people who have life-drawing groups in their background maintain contact with the group and maintain the practice, even if it has nothing to do with their actual artwork.” This show, open to anyone who’s participated in the drawing group in the last year, is totally democratic and features many different media, showing the versatility of Santa Fe’s artists and of the art form itself.

MUSIC SAT/24

Skank, Ya Skanks OK, so this isn’t 1997 and people have all kinds of weird opinions about ska as a genre, but take off your cool-guy goggles for a minute and admit it—ska is fun.

It’s dancey. It’s varied. Just look at the evolution from reggae and rocksteady, up through first wave, two-tone and the punk-rock leanings of third wave, and chances are you’ve got some favorite jams without even realizing.

Enter Buster’s Ghost. They’re Durango, Colorado’s answer to ska’s multi-faceted genrefication, and a veritable history lesson in all things guitar-bass-drumshorns.

“It’s a little different in Durango because ska is really celebrated,” saxophonist Timmy Esposito tells SFR. “We’ve got Ska Brewing, and the founders of that are so into ska.” Esposito further clarifies, explaining that in his experience, there are plenty of ska bands still operating today. “They say ska is dead, but that’s not true,” trombonist Kelly Emery says. “It’s well alive, and I think ‘ska is dead’ is almost like a marketing slogan like ‘jazz is cool.’”

Sound-wise, Buster’s Ghost borrows from the classics, like The Specials, Hot Knives, Fishbone and, of course, Prince

Buster. Influences from relatively newer acts such as Reel Big Fish and Mu330 play a role as well—and yet Buster’s Ghost remains cohesive. This can mean anything from almost doo-wop mid-tempo tunes and songs that might sound just like reggae to the uninitiated, to faster indie-adjacent numbers with catchy horn lines made for dancing.

Emery and Esposito also explain there are Latin and zydeco elements at play thanks in part to drummer Cruz Muniz.

“I grew up in Santa Fe,” Muniz says, “and all the Afro-Cuban stuff that came around was big for me.” Muniz studied under celebrated local drummer Mark Clark. “I positively wouldn’t be here without him,” Muniz adds.

So why embrace Buster’s Ghost and ska? “We’re not just one thing,” Esposito says. “We’ve really learned to love all the things that make ska.”

And we should, too, Santa Fe. Ditch what you think you know and maybe just have a good time. Kudos to Boxcar, too, for once again bringing the shows no one else will. (Alex De Vore) BUSTER’S GHOST 10 pm Saturday March 24. Free. Boxcar, 530 S Guadalupe St., 988-7222

Y

ou know in the 2000 movie High Fidelity when John Cusack is picturing his ex-girlfriend with Tim Robbins and he disdainfully assumes that Robbins’ character loves world music? Why the negative connotation? Why that majorly topical intro? It could have something to do with record label Putumayo’s presence in Starbucks and the (ahem) inherent whiteness that goes along with that, but there’s a sad distilling of almost an entire planet’s non-American music that simply must stop—and a new guard of band that’s doing just that.

“In America, what else do you call music that’s not in English?” Mark Speer asks SFR jokingly. It’s mid-morning in Texas and Speer has just wrapped breakfast when we speak on the phone.

“Americans don’t wanna get specific enough to say ‘Oh, I love music from Cameroon,’ so they just call it ‘world music.’ But if I go into a record store, I’m going to that world music section.”

Speer is co-founder and guitarist of Khruangbin, a Houston, Texas-based trio that embraces the music of the world in a non-Starbucks fashion, adding bits of rock and funk to the mix for an almost hip-hop-meets-psych-meetsfunk style. You’ll be shocked at the full sound given the band’s only a threepiece (and doesn’t loop or use laptops onstage), and Speer, a consummate session musician who’s dabbled in projects from gospel to rock, lends a wide-eyed love of practically all musical styles to the project.

“When I was a teenager, the world stuff was, like, traditional Trinidadian

Dungen. Surf and R&B elements wind their way in, and Latin beats from drummer Donald “DJ” Johnson make subtle Mark Speer (left), appearances as does that Laura Lee (cenMotown hotness.

Thus, Khruangbin is anything it wants to be, and it’s not unusual to hear a transition from an Afro-Caribbean moment to something more Middle Eastern or Indian, or maybe a quieter breakdown leading up to an atmospheric whirlwind of sounds. Still, among the globe-trotting bits and pieces lies a distinct personality, and while Houston’s Khruangbin spans the globe there are certain comparisons to draw, once you know Khruangbin, you surely won’t mistake them for other bands.

Get savager at: SFReporter.com/savage

I’m a 26-year-old cis queer woman. My best friend has identified publicly as asexual for the past two years. She constantly talks about how since she doesn’t “need” sex, this means she is asexual. She does have sex, however, and she enjoys it, which I know isn’t disqualifying. But she also actively seeks out sex partners and sex. But, again, she insists that because she doesn’t “need” sex the way she presumes the rest of us do, she is asexual. I have an issue with this. I’ve never had partnered sex and never really felt the need or desire for it. I’m plenty happy with emotional intimacy from others and masturbation for my sexual needs, and I do not particularly desire a romantic or sexual partner. My friend gets offended if anyone questions her label, which occurs often in our friend group as people try to understand her situation. I usually defend her to others since she’s my friend, but as a person who is starting to identify more and more as asexual, I’ve grown annoyed at her use of “asexual” as her identifier, to the point that this may be starting to affect our friendship. I’ve kept silent because I don’t want to make her feel attacked—but in the privacy of my own head, I’m calling bullshit on her asexuality. I don’t particularly want to come out as asexual to her, given the circumstances.

Am I just being a shitty gatekeeping asexual?

Do I need to just accept that labels are only as useful as we make them and let this go?

Actually Coitus Evading Asexuality—it’s a real thing.

“Several population-level studies have now found that about 1 percent of individuals report not feeling sexual attraction to another person—ever,” Dr. Lori Brotto writes in the Globe and Mail. Dr. Brotto has extensively studied asexuality, and the data supports the conclusion that asexuality is a sexual orientation on par with heterosexuality, homosexuality, and bisexuality. “[Asexuality] is not celibacy, which is the conscious choice to not have sex even though sexual desires may endure,” Dr. Brotto writes. “Rather, for these individuals, there is no inherent wish for or desire for sex, and there never has been. They are asexuals, though many prefer to go by the endearing term ‘aces.’”

Asexuality—it’s a point on a spectrum and it’s a spectrum unto itself.

“There is a spectrum of sexuality, with sexual and asexual as the endpoints and a gray area in between,” says whoever wrote the General FAQ at the Asexual Visibility and Education Network website (asexuality.org).

“Many people identify in this gray area under the identity of ‘gray-asexual’ or ‘gray-a.’ Examples of gray-asexuality include an individual who does not normally experience sexual attraction but does experience it sometimes; experiences sexual attraction but has a low sex drive; experiences sexual attraction and drive but not strongly enough to want to act on them; and/or can enjoy and desire sex but only under very limited and specific circumstances. Even more, many gray-asexuals still identify as asexual because they may find it easier to explain, especially if the few instances in which they felt sexual attraction were brief and fleeting. Furthermore, [some] asexual people in relationships might choose or even want to have sex with their partner as a way of showing affection, and they might even enjoy it. Others may want to have sex in order to have children, or to satisfy a curiosity, or for other reasons.”

As for your friend, ACE, well, according to the Protocols of the Elders of Tumblr, we’re no longer allowed to express doubt about someone’s professed sexual orientation or gender identity. So if Republican US senator Larry

Craig of Idaho gets caught trawling for dick in an airport bathroom—which he did in 2007— and insists it was all a misunderstanding because, you know, he’s 200 percent straight, well, then he’s straight. (And if Jeffrey Dahmer says he’s a vegetarian…) So even if your friend pulls the cock from her mouth and/or the pussy off her face only long enough to shout, “I’M ACE,” before slapping her mouth back down into someone’s lap, then she’s ace, ACE. Maybe in the same way Larry Craig is straight, your friend is asexual—or, hey, maybe she’s asexual in the “gray-a” sense, i.e., under certain circumstances (awake, aware, conscious, alert, sentient), she experiences sexual attraction. Or maybe she’s not a gray-a who identifies as ace but an actual asexual who is having sex for “other reasons.” A person doesn’t have to be celibate to be asexual or to identify as asexual, ACE, and until there’s an asexual accreditation agency—which there never will be and never should be—we’ll just have to take your friend’s word for it.

But just as asexuality is a thing, ACE, so too is bullshit. Denial is a thing, and sex shame is an incredibly destructive thing. Like the guy who has a lot of gay sex but refuses to identify as gay or bi, it’s possible your friend is just a messy closet case—a closeted sexual, someone who wants sex but doesn’t want to be seen as the kind of person who wants sex since only bad people want sex. Some people twist themselves into the oddest knots so they can have what they want without having to admit they want it. But even if it sounds to you (and me) like your friend’s label is suspect, you should nevertheless hold your tongue and allow her to identify however she likes.

Ask questions, sure, but challenging her label will only damage your relationship (or further damage it) and make you feel like a closeted, gatekeeping ace.

And if you find yourself getting annoyed when your ace-identified friend starts in on how she doesn’t really “need” all the sex she’s having, ACE, do what I used to do when I had to listen to guys I knew for a fact were having tons of gay sex (because they were having it with me) go on and on about how they didn’t really “need” cock: smile, nod, roll ’em over, and fuck ’em in the ass again. (Feel free to swap “change the subject” for “roll ’em over” and “leave the room” for “fuck ’em in the ass.”)

Settle a dispute between friends? I’m a straight man who gets hit on fairly often by women, mostly at the gym. I usually respond with a variation on “I would be interested but I’m married.” Some of my friends argue that by saying, “I’m interested but I’m married,” I’m telegraphing an interest in some sort of affair. That isn’t my intent. I mean it as a compliment. What I’m trying to communicate is “You’re an attractive person who put yourself out there and I don’t want to crush your spirit with a curt ‘No.’” What is your take, Dan? -Mutual Attraction Rarely Results In Erotic Dalliances Which is it, MARRIED: “I would be interested but I’m married” or “I am interested but I’m married”? Because there’s a difference between “I would” and “I am” in this context.

When you say, “I would be interested but I’m married,” you’re shutting it down: We could fuck if I wasn’t married, but I am so we can’t.

But when you say, “I am interested but I’m married,” that can be read very differently: I’m down to fuck but—full disclosure—I’m married. If that’s okay with you, let’s find a stairwell and do this thing.

Would be politely shuts the door, MARRIED, am opens the door a crack and invites the sweaty woman at the gym to push against it to see if it’ll open all the way.

DANIEL QUAT

Trans author and performer Quinn Alexander Fontaine sat down with us last October to discuss his life and the August 2017 release of his book, Hung Like a Seahorse.

It was an honest discussion about Fontaine’s early days growing up queer in the South, grappling with depression, sexual abuse and addiction and, in the end, of transition and becoming who he truly is. Fontaine, who has recently been crowned Pride King for Santa Fe’s upcoming 2018 Pride festivities in June, reads from Seahorse at op.cit.

Books this Saturday (2 pm. Free. DeVargas Center, 157 Paseo de Peralta, 428-0321). (Alex De Vore)

The book’s been out a while now; how’s the reception been?

It’s been phenomenal. It’s been incredibly surprising.

All kinds of demographics are responding and saying that it’s a story for everybody, not just for trans people or people who know trans people; or people in recovery or people who know people in recovery.

It’s about the human condition. Readings have been great, and kids have been showing up, too. I had an 11-year-old. I’ve had [ages] 11 up to 85. Collected Works [Bookstore and Coffee House] said it was the most full house they ever had. I’m feeling incredibly open and hopeful.

Have you OVER PAID for a Pre-Planned Funeral or Cremation through another funeral home?

WE CAN HELP!

Hung Like a Seahorse is a really open and honest work. Has that been challenging? Are you still learning a thing or two from being so vulnerable?

It continues to surprise me that I’m comfortable in my story, that I’m not stuck in the idea of my story.

I was a trauma survivor, now I’m a thriver. It continues to amaze me that I’m able to openly talk about my life and my body, even my genitals, when my body and my life were my prison for so long. It’s been incredibly freeing, but it still catches me by surprise that there’s no shame attack attached to my being. I’m in alignment for the first time. Things make more sense than they’ve ever made.

(505) 395-9150 Immediate Cremation

What do you consider the most important thing you’ve learned from this process?

$ 745.00

For years I didn’t want to be on the planet. I’ve dealt with suicidal ideation my whole life, and I now know there are reasons I didn’t die. I’m here to live, I’m here to gently lead others. My message is that it’s never too late to live your authentic self, and I didn’t feel that for years. I do my work through my art and connecting soul to soul. I’m learning to just be with everything and trust it and to let the emotions flow. I really feel like more than ever I’m spiritually connected to something bigger than me. It’s humbling. It’s sacred.

It’s beautiful.

Puente de los Hidalgos connects the Northside to the Plaza.

Back to the Barrio: Rosario Boulevard An abridged history

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

F

rom the vantage point of Rosario Boulevard, a red mansard roof is visible just above the treetops.

The shingles have the look and texture of fish scales, and a facade the color of salmon. “We used to call it the haunted house,” recounts Carmela Romero, who grew up in the barrio that runs beneath the home’s hilltop perch on Paseo de la Cuma. It’s a true architectural oddity, a Victorian mansion in Santa Fe built with hand-molded bricks in the 1880s in a city defined by flat-roofed adobes.

Now listed on the National Register of

Historic Places, the Hayt-Wientge, as it is known, was built in the territorial era

by Walter V Hayt, who owned a shop on San Francisco Street. It was even more visible back when Romero was growing up, before the area became a hotspot for condominium development. Now condos all but block the view up the hillside.

When Romero was a kid, most of the family on her mother’s line lived along Rosario Boulevard, a petite thoroughfare between Paseo de Peralta and Rosario Cemetery. On a city map, the boulevard looks a lot the the crust of a pie, while Griffin Street and Grant Avenue, which crosses over Arroyo Mascaras by way of a concrete bridge built with a bit

of art deco flare, make up the wedge.

City Engineer Walter G Turley supervised construction of both the Puente de los Hidalgos, a bridge he championed for its use of old (concrete) and new (steel) materials, and the original Cross of the Martyrs on Rosario Hill in 1920. Each, like the materials he employed to erect the bridge, seemed to bring past and present together as both were erected to memorialize Spanish Colonial history.

When it was built, the Puente de los Hidalgos, named after the Spanish conquistadors, connected the northernmost part of the city to the Plaza, and in its first year it became the centerpiece of the Santa Fe Fiestas. With the help of the Knights of Columbus and booster Edgar Lee Hewett, the Fiesta procession made its way from the Palace of the Governors, across the bridge and to the Cross, named after the Franciscan priests who proselytized much of the Americas.

Romero says that every day, when walking home from St. Francis Elementary School, where most kids from the neighborhood attended, she crossed the bridge. By then, it had lost most of its pageantry to become a given of the bar-

A&C rio, something utilitarian, and a place for kids’ balancing acts. Only the most adventurous would try to walk across the bowstring trusses. But mostly, she remembers that the bridge led to the area around Federal Plaza, where the Post Office is now located. Before that went up, Romero says the area was mostly lawn where she and her primos would practice cartwheels.

In true Northern New Mexico style, Romero, whose maiden name is Duran, lived on a family compound with her tíos and tías as her closest neighbors. It was normal, she says, for family members to raise other family members. “I always thought everyone grew up that way,” she muses. Romero’s grandparents’ home was at the center of it all, and like most adobes, built room by room as necessity demanded, which resulted in a house with no hallways. Romero recalls her eldest relatives transferring property with nothing more than a handshake and a trip to the county, a move that later proved vexing for city surveyors. And when her father married her mother, he bought into the neighborhood, too, just to keep the family ties up.

When Romero married her husband Leonard, she left the neighborhood, and in time so did much of her family. Property was divided and sold to newcomers, an oft-heard refrain in Santa Fe. There is a tinge of regret for not having held onto family property for Romero, but by the late ’80s, developers had set their sights on the barrio, rapidly adding condos on the hillside and in the process changing the area’s very fabric and, to the chagrin of many, blocking the natural light that streamed downward. A look at real estate now shows new compounds still going up, this time with half-million dollar price tags. Romero recalls an aunt saying, “Let’s see what happens when the hundred-year flood comes,” as if evoking the land’s karma against the forces of modern construction.

Something for Everyone Five simultaneous exhibits: What could be a mishmash is a fun survey of wildly different artists and styles

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

I

f you’re a little nervous to check out gallery openings at Peters Projects, you’re not alone. The space, which previously housed Gerald Peters Gallery before it became the edgier, youngerfeeling Peters Projects, has hallowedground vibes. This Friday heralds a sprawling group of openings, some of which contain multiple artists. For director Mark Del Vecchio, who took the reins from Eileen Braziel earlier this year, it’s got obvious appeal.

“What’s not to like?” he asks SFR. “The gallery is a massive space; one of the largest privately owned galleries in the country.” Del Vecchio says it’s a cavernous area—about 8,500 square feet—so why not fill it? Explaining the seemingly mixedbag grouping, he adds, “I inherited some partially curated exhibitions that were already in place, combined with the schedule of exhibitions I had been working on.”

Along with his partner Garth Clark, Del Vecchio is a major force in the world of contemporary ceramic art, but he doesn’t want to be pigeonholed. “I am also an ‘art person’ who has been around all types of art for most of my life,” he says. “Ceramics have been good to me and I will always champion them.” If you’re like me and even looking at a porcelain vase makes you pretty sure you’ll accidentally knock it over, Del Vecchio says it might not be the best option for you. “But,” he adds, “you’ll be missing out on something special.”

Take Tony Marsh’s American Moon Jars, for example. Gray-toned ceramics the texture and color of a section of pale aspen, but covered with shelf-like steps, which serve as platforms for chunks of pyrite, quartz and other natural stones. Other work in his Crucibles series is ceramic, but looks like something dredged up from the ocean, covered in gnarled, calcified bubbles.

Hank Saxe’s stoneware sculptures (there are 10 in all) are less, shall we say,

approachable. “Untitled #7” is a hunk of shiny, silver-colored fired clay, with a hole at its center from which molten-looking gold oozes downward. For lack of a more sophisticated description, it’s kinda gross.

The group show Inner Vision is the most classically styled exhibition of the five, which makes sense: Del Vecchio tells SFR that it “required some dips into the ‘vaults’ of the Gerald Peters inventory” to retrieve works by Santa Fe Art Colony painters Jozef Bakos and Willard Nash.

The show also includes a handful of other artists, some local, some not, and explores how self-portraiture has changed over the years due to increased self-analysis and new possibilities for expression. It’s a fabulous concept which, with the addition of a handful of more artists, could easily be a stand-alone show. Celebrated Canadian artist Kent Monkman, whose huge paintings typically require the work of small teams of painters, contributed five much more intimate self-portraits. Also included are Kukuli Velarde, Angela Fraleigh, Daniel Sprick, Will Wilson and Ian Ingram.

Meanwhile, the show Machina includes works from Paul Sarkisian, Joel Hobbie and John Peralta, a trio of genre-busting new media artists who each reconcile their creative hand with technology to explore relationships between humans and machines. Sarkisian, a longtime Santa Fe artist, projects video of his own design onto 3-D objects. Peralta, meanwhile, dissects old or otherwise obsolete 20th-century machines like typewriters, then reconfigures them into entirely “new” sculptural

works. Gallery-represented local artist Joel Hobbie’s site-specific piece, called “Neurons,” includes interactive elements.

For me, the most successful show comes courtesy of Japanese artist Keiko Fukazawa, whose wry humor and politicized style is far-reaching and varied, but always biting. Her show here, called Hello Mao, is largely the result of an artist resi-

dency in China, a country whose political history inspires her; of equal importance are pop culture references, thus the title Hello Mao, a play on Japan’s Hello Kitty.

“I’ve known Keiko for over 25 years,” Del Vecchio tells SFR, and over that time, he says, he’s watched her develop a “deliberately subversive take on what a ceramic object means and can project.” “Chinese Landscape III” is immaculately conceived, its mist-obscured blue mountaintops adorning a box-like porcelain piece.

The whole thing, though, is covered with Louis Vuitton logos, which don’t hide but gently overlay the imagery beneath. An associate professor and head of the ceramics department at Pasadena City College, this is her first time exhibiting in Santa Fe. “My plan is to always have multiple openings on a quarterly schedule,” Del Vecchio explains, “with surprise shows from time to time.” If fun, provocative shows like these are any indication, it’s a 5 EXHIBITIONS: OPENING RECEPTION

Seoul Food Nation Santa Fe’s best breakfast hails from South Korea by way of the Farmers Market

a smart alternative to the large, industrial-sized giants that generate the kinds of produce consumers are accustomed to seeing in grocery stores. And though industrial farming does have numerous benefits—which include yielding affordable, nutritious food available to people who might not otherwise have access to such offerings year-round—it also typically employs methods that are wildly unsustainable, such as dreaded GMOs and the

MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN

i Young’s Farm has quickly become one of my favorites at the Santa Fe Farmers Market, where they’ve been a vendor since 2012.

A husband-and-wife outfit producing a variety of greens, their kimchi is particularly (and addictively) good—something I never thought I’d say about fermented cabbage salad. Kimchi is a Korean staple made from napa cabbage, radishes, garlic, chili and spices, usually made according to a mutable recipe passed down through generations. Mi Young’s comes from Seoulborn owner Jenn Yi-Mushen’s family. The stand offers a variety of flavors of kimchi pancakes at the farmers market, all wrapped up with organic mung beans and a thin, flat pancake made from organic brown rice flour.

My favorite from Mi Young’s? The breakfast special with fresh greens, a fried egg and plain chevre for $10; although the red mesa, which comes with bulgogi (Korean-style barbecue beef made from local, grass-fed meat) for $12 is also very good.

Mi Young’s is a micro farm situated near PojoaSalad greens such as lettuce, arugula, mustard greens que on 5 acres, 2 of which and napa cabbage make up the bulk of Mi Young’s groware arable. Micro farms are ing operation.

accompanying pesticides and fertilizers. That’s not even mentioning industrial use of fossil-fueled farm equipment and transportation of goods.

The farmhouse at Mi Young’s is built out of traditional adobe that co-owner Will Mushen crafted out of small bricks of mud and straw. Mushen tells me that since there is a historical precedent and protection for adobe construction in New Mexico, it is easier to build alternative housing out of natural materials here than in other states. Thus he also has constructed three small walipinis out of the same mud. These are underground, earth-based greenhouses which, when aligned properly with the sun, are naturally thermo-regulating, even in winter. In the case of Mi Young’s, it makes for a greenhouse wherein plants can practically be grown out of the walls. In addition to the napa cabbage for kimchi, the farm grows cold-weather salad greens such as kale and mizuna.

Mushen embraces a Taoist approach to farming. “Most farmers, if they find a rock in their field they can’t move, they’ll borrow a machine and move the rock,” he says. “But I believe in seeing the positive—what are the different microclimates the rock creates? There’s sun on the south side and shade on the north side, and protection from the wind on the leeward side. It’s an opportunity to grow something you couldn’t before.”

As for Mi Young’s kimchi, it’s available in Santa Fe at the Cheesemongers of Santa Fe, Barrio Brinery, Skarsgard CSA and, of course, the farmers market. Two sizes are available: a pint for $10 or a quart for $18. You can get it in mild, traditional, vegan and extra-spicy, and seasonally there are daikon and cucumber varieties.

I picked up the vegan entry and found an

accurate replica of the real thing.

With a fish sauce-free base made out of napa cabbage and daikon radish, I promptly undid the vegan-ness at home by throw throwing the kimchi in a skillet with some macaroni and cheese decadence. This was so satisfyingly creamy and spicy I can’t wait to make it again.

KIMCHI MAC AND CHEESE Ingredients • • • • • • • • •

2 tablespoons unsalted butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 ½ cups whole milk ¼ teaspoon salt 2 ¼ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese 10 ounces penne pasta ½ cup drained kimchi ½ cup chiffonade basil and cilantro 1 sliced jalepeño

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta for five minutes less than the package instructs.

2. Meanwhile, make the cheese sauce.

Melt the butter over medium heat in a separate pot and whisk in the flour. Cook until it starts to brown and bubble.

3. Remove from heat and whisk in the milk, then return to heat and cook until it starts to bubble and has thickened.

4. Remove from heat once more and whisk in the jalepeño and all but a half a cup of the cheese.

5. Drain the pasta and combine it with the cheese sauce until it is nicely coated.

6. Pour half of the mixture into a cast iron skillet. Top with half the kimchi.

Then, pour the remaining pasta on top.

Sprinkle with kimchi and the cheese you set aside earlier.

7. Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden-brown. Garnish with basil and cilantro when ready to serve.

Tomb Raider Review

BEST MOVIE EVER

Gaming the system

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

Surprise! Tomb Raider is exactly what you thought it would be—though, unlike the Angelina Jolie films of yesteryear, slightly better. And we mean slightly.

We follow a young Lara Croft (Alicia Vikander of Ex Machina), the heiress of a massive fortune who has turned her back on her trust fund in favor of underground bicycle races and working hard.

Whatevs. Her dad (Dominic West, who is crazyhandsome) has been missing for seven years in search of answers about the afterlife, or more specifically, an ancient Japanese queen who was sent to an uncharted island to die because she was evil and stuff. Seven years is just long enough for Lara to quit all the daydreamin’ and take over the family company and fortune.

Ruh-roh, though, because she begins uncovering clues to her father’s actual life, that of an amateur archaeology enthusiast who clearly didn’t love her as much as he claimed. Lara takes off looking for answers, is swept up in a whole bunch of tomb raiding and ledge-leaping and secret society nonsense and, all the while, learns a thing or two about what kind of Croft she really is.

Those who played either of the recent Tomb Raider reboot games from developer Crystal Dy-

CONSIDERS THE SOURCE MATERIAL - NOT A WHOLE LOT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

namics will find a mishmash of their narrative elements wrapped up in a package that’s far more akin to a gaming experience than actual film.

That’s not a bad thing per se, but as far as genre movies like these go, a new identity could have been interesting. Director Roar Uthaug (whom you don’t know, we promise) even throws in subtle nods to gaming mechanics, such as how Lara climbs on shit, her love of the bow and arrow and ridiculous ancient puzzles that surely could never have been created by anyone without an advanced engineering degree.

Indiana Jones this ain’t, especially in its accelerated pacing, faceless villain Mathias (a reference to the villain from the 2013 video game, though far less dimensional despite actor Walton Goggins’ best attempts) and painful tries at comic

relief, all of which fall flat. Even worse is having to watch master actors like Derek Jacobi (I, Claudius) sit on the sidelines with roles so meaningless they make Denholm Elliott in Last Crusade look like a commanding and vital performance.

Whatever. People still get shot, things still get blown up and Vikander still scrambles around coming into her own, right up to the last few moments with Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead) for some reason—moments that scream “Maybe we’ll try better for a sequel, but you already paid, so …”

+ COOK, TAYLOR-JOY AND SPARKS ARE SUBLIME

- IF YOU CUT IT, IT MAY NOT BLEED

Life is boring in the upper-crust suburbs of Connecticut. Hating your parents is de rigueur, and sometimes you have to plagiarize an essay at your elite boarding school to get by.

Or maybe you have to kill your favorite horse.

Either way, your options for advancement in life depend primarily on the wealth of your family and the ease with which you use those around you to your advantage.

Witness Lily and Amanda, a pair of childhood friends reunited in late high school by the need for truly quality standardized test scores. Amanda (Olivia Cooke, Me, Earl and the Dying Girl) is the troubled one, having just killed her thoroughbred horse. She’s a sociopath who feels nothing. Or so we’re meant to believe.

Lily (Anya Taylor-Joy, The VVitch), on the other hand, appears to be the put-together progeny of a mother who has married a wealthy hedgefund guy, beautifully played by Paul Sparks (House of Cards). Lily hates step-dad Mark, and it’s easy to see why. He’s the adult version of Amanda and Lily, albeit with enough selfawareness to see trouble coming. At least to some degree.

Cooke, Taylor-Joy and Sparks are terrific together, and truly propel the movie. We get exactly why Mark is a jerk, why Lily hates him and why Amanda’s right when she says Mark isn’t that far off in a scathing assessment of his stepdaughter. And we see why Amanda feels more than she can admit or recognize. Finley and his cast deserve credit for that. In his final role, the late Anton Yelchin (Star Trek) shows why we’ll miss his development as an actor.

The film doesn’t truly have a center, though.

And perhaps that’s the point. It might make you giggle. It might make you uneasy. But it might not make you think anything more than, “That’s messed up.” (Matt Grubs) Violet Crown, R, 90 min.

The story’s protagonist, 13-year-old Meg Murry (Storm Reid, 12 Years a Slave), is an angry outcast suffering from the loss of her father (Chris Pine of Star Trek fame), a scientist who, along with his fellow scientist wife (Beauty and the Beast’s Gugu Mbatha-Raw), has learned to “wrinkle” time and travel the universe and has been captured by the pervasive evil that seeks to turn all beings away from the light. Meg, her prodigy little brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) and new friend Calvin O’Keefe (Levi Miller, Pan) set out to rescue him.

Director Ava DuVernay’s adaptation falls unsurprisingly short in capturing the nuance of L’Engle’s novel, relying frequently on baffling amounts of glitter and eyeshadow to convey magic and angry trees to connote evil. The trio of magical beings, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which (Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Oprah Winfrey, respectively) appear here with particular Disney theme-park camp, although Winfrey’s bone-deep ability to convey empathy makes for some of the film’s most touching moments.

That empathy is primarily directed to Meg, played by Reid with hints of the fierceness and nuance that emblematized the original book.

The young characters’ rescue mission takes them to Camazotz, a place where evil, fear and conformity have enslaved inhabitants. The film’s greatest adaptive decision was its diverse casting, which reinforces L’Engle’s original message about the importance of individual spirit and experience in the fight between good and evil.

+ NOT BORING, PER SE …

- … BUT NOT SO GREAT

Setting aside how much we don’t buy Jennifer Lawrence (Mother!) as the Bolshoi’s prima ballerina, it becomes even more absurd when an accident onstage somehow forces her into the spy-packed world of international espionage in Red Sparrow.

Lawrence is Dominika, a young woman whose uncle is the minister of, like, shadowy operations or something for Russia. He tricks her into the spycraft game of them vs. America and the search for a mole they believe has infiltrated their government. But why would she just do this? So she can care for her mother, who ails from some nameless sickness, obviously. Apparently in Russia, if you can’t make the big bucks as a ballerina, you have to become a seductive spy. Chyort!

What follows is a series of confusing double-crosses, brutal torture scenes and wildly un-sexy sex rendezvous. Pointless characters

pop up regularly and scenes wherein somebody does a sneaky spy thing only for it to be discovered moments later render said spy thing moot.

Not to worry, though, because lukewarm performances are everywhere, from Joel Edgerton (from the Netflix original movie Bright, which we still say should have been called Lieutenant Goblin) as the forgettable CIA agent, Matthias Schoenaerts (The Danish Girl) as the cruel uncle, Charlotte Rampling (Assassin’s Creed) as the heartless spy school headmistress, and Jeremy Irons as … well, he really only ever does Jeremy Irons. All the while, Lawrence’s silly stab at a Russian accent undermines what was an already painfully too-serious performance, and Mary-Louise Parker’s brief turn as an unscrupulous chief of staff for a US senator feels like one of the most low-stakes and overblown setups in the history of spy film.

Still, Red Sparrow does manage to not overstay its welcome (even with a running time in excess of two hours) so long as one understands that it should by no means be taken seriously or assumed to be anything other than an escapist means of killing a couple hours. If nothing else, scenes of Moscow, Budapest and Vienna remind us that Europe is pretty beautiful, Russia is pretty bleak and that we can always fall back on John le Carré in a pinch.

+ LOOKS SO COOL; ACTION BITS ARE TRULY THRILLING

- SO WAIT, WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

When one is deciding whether or not a film is any good, a wise rule is to ask if the filmmakers answered the questions they posed. Sure, it might feel interesting when a movie has an open ending, and you’ve almost positively got those people in your life who extoll the virtues of a story that leaves it up to the viewer to suss out a meaning.

For us, though, it always feels sort of like a cop-out. Annihilation lands someplace in there, a beautiful movie adapted from the 2014 novel of the same name by Jeff VanderMeer that sadly leaves a few too many questions unanswered and falters despite stunning CGI and interesting ideas.

Natalie Portman is Lena, a soldier-turned-scientist whose husband (Oscar Isaac, who really seems to be in just about everything these days), still a soldier, shows up talking nonsense after being MIA for a full year.

Portman is thus pulled into the black-op world of government intrigue whereupon she learns a meteor from outer space crash-landed near the coast and has resulted in a bizarre biological phenomenon known as “the shimmer,” which threatens to overtake the globe with … they don’t know what. Turns out her husband went

It’s beyond riveting for the first hour or so, but as we grasp wildly for answers alongside Lena and her crew, we eventually learn they’re not really coming. Oh, we get surface information and potential theories about what’s causing the blight and what it’s doing to the area’s biology, but rather than identifying what’s really going on, we instead struggle through a bunch of weird flora and fauna with some serviceable surface information that might have been OK had the setup not been so juicy.

Writer-director Alex Garland (Ex Machina, 28 Days Later) joins forces with VanderMeer to mixed results—do we care about Lena’s guilt or dying husband? Did we get enough of a feel from the others in the crew to care about their fates? We’re hard-pressed to say for sure, even as some seriously spooky shit goes down, but by the time Lena reaches the meteor’s epicenter and we reach the payoff, it’s a pretty big letdown. Still, Jennifer Jason Leigh is a welcome addition as a heartless psychologist who repeatedly sends folks to their deaths, and the overall aesthetic is fantastic, even if the story fizzles out under the weight of the premise.

kia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira), and we’re really getting somewhere.

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, Black Panther is a complete triumph. The costuming and hair, the production design and, frankly, the hot-as-fire score and soundtrack (thanks for the hit jams, Kendrick Lamar!) are all glorious.

Where it falters, however, is in its attempts at a deep story. At the very edges of the action lies surface information about colonization and racism, but we never dive deep enough into these concepts in any meaningful way. Rather, they’re mentioned briefly between kickass fight scenes which, yes, are kickass, but how refreshing and potentially valuable it might be to see a comic book film dissect something real.

Still, the requisite explosions and shaky morality plays are there, along with the always-fantastic character actor Andy Serkis.

Perhaps director-writer Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station) is simply dipping his toes into the concept of a heavier (or more grounded) direction, and we really hope he gets there with a sequel.

For now, though, Black Panther is still a gorgeous film and the most culturally significant Marvel outing to date—that’s something all on its own. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.

+ CULTURALLY IMPACTFUL; BADASS WOMEN

- HEAVIER STUFF LOST IN THE NOISE

Someplace between the joyous celebration of all things African culture and the tremendous principal cast of all black actors in Black Panther lies a fairly run-of-the-mill comic book movie narrative, but it almost seems at this point that if we’re hitting any Marvel Studios movie in search of the non-formulaic, we’re going to be sorely disappointed.

We enter the fictional African nation of Wakanda as its prince, the mighty T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman, 42), is set to take the throne following his father’s murder (which you may have seen in Captain America: Civil War).

For hundreds of years Wakanda has thrived thanks to the also-fictional vibranium, a metal so precious and powerful that it can make any far-fetched sci-fi dreams come true; a metal that just so happens to exist only there. Up until now, pretty much no outsiders have entered Wakanda, but when a mysterious former US soldier (Michael B Jordan, Creed) starts poking around and trying to find his way in for nefarious reasons, T’Challa must confront heavy truths about his country, his people and the heartbreaking past of African Americans. Fill things out with utterly badass women like Na-

TEMPERAMENT: All the cats are sweet, gentle and developing their individual personalities now that they have good food and a clean environment. ALICIA is a petite orange tabby. Due to her rough start in life, she arrived with terrible stomatitis which resulted in all her teeth having to be removed. However, now that her mouth is no longer painful, she is eating canned food and gaining weight. AGE: born approx. 3/1/17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The “School of Hard Knocks” is an old-fashioned idiom referring to the unofficial and accidental course of study available via life’s tough experiences. The wisdom one gains through this alternate approach to education may be equal or even superior to the knowledge that comes from a formal university or training program. I mention this, Aries, because in accordance with astrological omens, I want to confer upon you a diploma for your new advanced degree from the School of Hard Knocks. (P.S.: When PhD students get their degrees from Finland’s University of Helsinki, they are given top hats and swords as well as diplomas. I suggest you reward yourself with exotic props, too.)
