THREE DAYS IN COURT 8 SFR took the governor to trial last week. Here are the highlights from three days of daily web coverage IN DEFENSE OF BOOKS 11 Under the proposed 2018 federal budget, New Mexico libraries would lose a significant chunk of change, which would be acutely felt in rural and tribal areas

THREE DAYS IN COURT According to the governor’s lawyers, since SFR is a “left-wing tabloid” (their words), our journalists’ public records requests are OK to be ignored. They’re all kinds of wrong. Marisa Demarco reports.

LETTERS Editor’s Note: While we understand the aversion to altered religious imagery, we would like to stress that Chewbacca (the “evil face”) was, in fact, a brave Wookiee warrior of the Resistance who fought valiantly against the Dark Side in both the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War. He was a decidedly positive character and, arguably, the most consistently virtuous member of the Star Wars pantheon.

It will be interesting to see what the Santa Fe District Court does with this. Typically, they (District Court judges in Santa Fe) are pro-corporation. No matter what outrageous malfeasances the corporations have infamously committed and been found guilty of and fined for nationally, our local courts remain unaware to the detriment of families who are taken advantage of by legions of corporate lawyers. Our overwhelmingly pro-corporate governor has behaved outrageously on so many issues important to New Mexican families. I hope this case highlights both the governor’s behavior and the local judicial response.

MARK WOODWARD

Three Days in Court Press access, strength of state open-records law are at issue in SFR v. Gov. It’s been over three years since SFR filed a District Court lawsuit against Gov. Susana Martinez alleging her office discriminated against the newspaper and violated the state’s open-records law.

Last week, on March 29-31, we finally got our day(s) in court. Now it’s time to wait some more as lawyers for both sides await a final court transcript, draft and file written closing arguments, and wait for the judge to rule. Here are highlights from our coverage in the courthouse from independent Albuquerque-based journalist Marisa Demarco:

DAY 1

‘The Journalism Racket’ The first day in court featured the governor’s high-powered contract defense lawyer attacking the credibility of SFR’s journalists, suggesting they were not precise, not knowledgeable, not prepared and not invested in the profession.

“How long have you been in the journalism racket now?” lawyer Paul Kennedy asked former Santa Fe Reporter staff writer Joey Peters, prompting chuckles in the courtroom. Kennedy used the term “racket” several times to describe the profession.

Peters testified about a brief 2013 phone call with the governor. During the call, Peters told Martinez her spokesman wouldn’t reply to his requests for comment. She replied: “I wonder why.” The comment, Peters said, was sarcastic.

The governor’s recalcitrance and tone in the call signaled to SFR’s staff that its increasingly frosty relationship with the Martinez administration—brought on, the newspaper contends in its lawsuit, by critical coverage of the administration— could not be salvaged. So the newspaper filed suit.

SFR was known as an investigative newspaper and aimed to get at the “why” behind a story, as opposed to simply covering the news of the day, former editor Alexa Schirtzinger said from the witness stand. The paper’s policy was to always ask for comment on any story that pertained to Gov. Martinez’ administration and officials’ activities.

Responses to those requests came consistently through the early part of Schirtzinger’s term as editor, even if Martinez’ officials got back to journalists with a “no comment.” But then, in 2012, the paper published a year-end cover story that emphasized the hypocrisy of the administration’s secrecy.

After that article, SFR stopped receiving responses at all, Schirtzinger testified.

“We certainly had the feeling that we were being completely cut off.” This not only contributed to an erosion of the paper’s credibility, but “readers weren’t able to get as full of a story that we wanted to get to them,” Schirtzinger said.

DAY 2

The Governor’s Message

Alexa Schirtzinger, former SFR editor, testifies that the paper’s access was “cut off.”

SFREPORTER.COM

A former spokesman for Gov. Susana Martinez testified that pushing her message, not responding to inquiries from journalists, was his top priority.

Enrique Knell was Martinez’ public voice between 2012 and April 2015.

During questioning, he said responding

Judge Sarah Singleton tells the governor’s private attorney to slow his roll.

to media inquiries “was a small part of [his] job.” The rest of his job, he testified, was conveying the governor’s message to the people of New Mexico. Knell said he chose which reporters to respond to based on which ones best carried what the governor wanted to talk about on a given day.

He testified about an email comment he sent to news organizations after word of SFR’s lawsuit spread in 2013: “It’s not a surprise that a left-wing weekly tabloid that published stolen emails containing the governor’s personal underwear order would file a baseless suit like this.”

On the stand, Knell said he referred to the newspaper as “left-wing” because the lawsuit “came out of left field.”

Kennedy spent the day trying to prove SFR was inferior to other news organizations and also that Knell was often too busy to respond. “Do you give priority to the governor’s message? Or do you give priority to what some weekly tabloid wants to know?” Kennedy asked.

“I give priority to the governor,” said Knell, who was paid an $80,000 annual salary by New Mexico taxpayers to speak for Martinez.

Even though her office employs no fewer than four staff lawyers, the governor hired Paul Kennedy, left, to fight SFR’s team, led by Daniel Yohalem, right.

Kennedy showed that SFR filed 23 Inspection of Public Records Act requests in 2013—the most of any news organization in the state that year. SFR journalists have said in interviews that they increasingly turned to IPRA requests because they were not receiving responses from Martinez staffers.

One of SFR’s attorneys, Daniel Yohalem, asked Knell about instances when he didn’t respond to SFR journalists’ emails and phone calls. Yohalem also admitted into evidence multiple emails from Knell offering comment to other news organizations on topics about which SFR had inquired. Yohalem asked whether Knell would ever get back to SFR in the months after they covered the Martinez administration’s use of private email.

Enrique Knell was paid $80,000 to speak for the governor—but not to everyone.

“I know that in that time, on various issues, I did respond to the Reporter on a case-by-case basis,” Knell testified. Yohalem pressed him to remember an instance. He couldn’t. Yohalem also showed emails with news tips Knell sent to other news organizations without, it seemed, ever being asked a question.

NEWS SFR’s case hinges on the idea that when government officials get picky about which media outlets they communicate with—and when they blacklist news organizations that are critical of the government—they’re trying to influence what the press reports.

DAY 3

Size Matters Testimony ended with Mark Zusman, who co-owns SFR and two other weeklies, saying all three prioritize the watchdog function of journalism.

“We strongly believe that the most important thing standing in the way of tyranny is a truly independent press that understands the watchdog role,” Zusman said from the stand.

Kennedy spent much of the trial trying to paint SFR as an insignificant entertainment tabloid. Zusman testified that the bulk of the paper’s resources are devoted to news as opposed to entertainment.

You can’t do investigative journalism without source documents, Zusman said. When he and the newspaper’s staff decided to sue Martinez in 2013, he wasn’t sure whether they would win or lose, he said—but he knew it was a fight worth waging.

“Is this a government of the people, by the people, for the people?” Zusman said in an interview in the courthouse hallway. “Or is it simply for the ruling class who’s in power right now, who can determine what information they want to give to which reporters, and who can show favoritism depending on the coverage?”

The lawsuit alleges the governor’s office doesn’t have an adequate method for handling public records requests. Former records custodian Pamela Cason testified that it would not have been humanly possible to search each employee’s email herself when seeking records to fulfill a request.

The way she ensured compliance was to “instill the fear of God into the employees that you have to respond to these in a timely manner.”

Before she left the stand, she testified that she still doesn’t keep a log of IPRA requests as they come in.

Gov. Martinez’ current spokesman, Chris Sanchez, was questioned about a tweet he posted following a story written by former SFR staff writer Justin Horwath for The Santa Fe New Mexican, where Horwath

works now: “Embarrassing. Reporter should have done his homework. No surprise given his previous ‘reporting’ for liberal tabloid.” From the stand, Sanchez testified that when he said “tabloid,” he meant the size and shape of the newspaper.

SFR Editor and Publisher Julie Ann Grimm said if the newspaper receives a judgment in its favor, it will send a message to elected officials that “you can’t, as a public official, pick and choose which members of the media you are going to communicate with.”

And if it doesn’t break SFR’s way?

“Although we like to think our place in the journalism landscape in New Mexico is important,” Grimm says, “it’s true that we’re not as big and well-funded as the Albuquerque Journal, for example. So if it’s OK to ignore small media organizations, that’s dangerous.”

The C. G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe presents

Jung

In the World

Lecture & Workshop

Carolyn Bates, Ph.D., Jungian analyst practicing in Austin, TX

Mark Zusman, co-owner of SFR, says the press is “standing in the way of tyranny.”

Yohalem, who represents SFR, said, “We should not have had to go to court to resolve these issues. We should have been able to sit down with the governor’s office and work this out,” he said. “I think it’s going to take a court case, and maybe ultimately a change in government, before we’re going to see improved relations with media.”

Yohalem took the case pro bono; Kennedy did not. Kennedy was contracted for more than $500,000 to represent Martinez, but the governor’s administration has refused to turn over his billing records.

When asked about his fee after the trial, Kennedy said, “You’ll have to contact the governor’s [communications] people.”

Lecture: Meeting the Monster under the Bed: Archetypal Expressions of the Other reflected in Film, Dreams, and Culture Friday, April 7th 7-9pm $10 2 CEUs or 2 Cultural CEUs

We meet “monsters” at key moments in the process of psychological growth.

The dark creatures that haunt the imaginations of children, the threatening strangers, terrifying killers, and vicious animals that move through the dreams of adults, the terrors encountered in agedness – we fear and avoid our monsters. But Jung considered that monsters bring us vital messages and warnings regarding the psychological status quo.

These images appear terrifying because they represent a fundamental otherness within us, something tapping at the windows of our consciousness, pressing to be integrated so that our own psychological development may proceed.

Using lecture and film clips, we will explore how threatening, ominous, and frightening images and experiences present us with valuable opportunities for individuation. We will draw on historical examples of monstrosity to clarify the tasks at hand when encountering it in our personal lives, and in our encounters with the collective.

Workshop

Saturday, April 8th 10am-4pm $60 4.5 CEUs or 4.5 Cultural CEUs Saturday’s workshop will expand on Friday night’s explorations of the monstrous in film, dreams, and culture, adding the opportunity for participants to discuss their experiences of the subjective sense of the monstrous in their lives.

Both events at: Center for Spiritual Living, 505 Camino de los Marquez, Santa Fe Friday lecture tickets at the door.

In Defense of Books Proposed federal budget would slim down resources for state, rural and tribal libraries

BY ERIC KILLELEA

D

uring the New Mexican summers of her youth, Valerie Nye rode the morning bus with her sister and mother to the public library in downtown Albuquerque. The family checked out as many books as they could carry and would meet her father at Civic Plaza before taking the bus back home. “It was a full day of adventure that centered on going to the big public library for picture books,” Nye remembers. Now, as the library director at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, she recalls the importance of such adventures whenever she orders picture books, helps children with homework and works with staff. “It is a great job,” she says.

Nye is part of a small New Mexican delegation of librarians and politicians traveling to the nation’s capital next month to oppose President Donald Trump’s proposed budget aimed to eliminate the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and the Institute of Museum and Library Services. This time around, the annual lobbying trip to Washington DC has ignited a sense of emergency among librarians fighting against the potential gutting of federal funding that now supports a host of resources for cities and rural towns across the state.

“Libraries are not romantic, historic, quiet places where people sit and read all day,” writes Nye in an email to SFR. “Libraries provide vital services to communities including internet access and reliable information on health, finance, politics and taxes. Libraries help provide people the tools to search for jobs, apply to jobs,

interview for jobs and start their own businesses.”

Eight New Mexico librarians are scheduled to attend the National Library Legislative Day at DC’s Liaison Hotel on Capitol Hill. The event, to be held May 1 and 2, is sponsored by the American Library Association. It’s an opportunity for librarians to meet face-to-face with legislators responsible for approving a 2018 budget.

Arts and humanities programs in the US currently make up $741 million—a small bite­—of the $4.6 trillion in total federal spending in 2016. President Trump’s new budget slashes the total national budget to $1.1 trillion. Library advocates are

To put it mildly, if the federal funding goes, I won’t be here. ...

Our community library won’t be open.

-Cynthia Aguilar, librarian, Santo Domingo Pueblo Library

now planning to speak out for their portion of $230 million worth of funding, currently provided through the Institute of Museum and Library Services, which helps buy and maintain services in culturally vibrant towns and cities across the country. The New Mexico State Library receives $1.4 million annually, or $.70 per taxpayer.

Kathleen Moeller-Peiffer, director of the New Mexico State Library, fears that the proposed budget calls to cut federal funding meant to distribute state grants

that cover rural bookmobiles, books by mail, the Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped and the interlibrary loan system, as well as most, if not all, of statewide online resources and the statewide summer reading program.

The State Library is primarily funded by the state of New Mexico, although the federal government, through the Library Services and Technology Act, provides 20 percent of the overall annual budget.

Patricia Hodapp, library director at the Santa Fe Public Library, says 58 staff members welcomed 713,677 visitors in 2016.

The city’s three library branches hosted storytellers, art shows, musicians, opera programs, quilting groups, voting groups, City Council get-togethers and neighborhood meetings. “The library is just integral to the arts and humanities,” says Hodapp.

Last year, 663,820 books, CDs and DVDs were circulated, while 59,655 library card-holders—20 percent from the county—accessed eBooks, article periodicals, Hoopla, Freegal Music, and free wi-fi.

“Federal cuts are not going to hurt us as much as a lot of libraries, but it will impact us and we’ll have to come up with that funding elsewhere,” says Hodapp, who adds that 96 percent of the library’s $3.9 million annual budget comes from citywide gross receipt taxes, while other money arrives in the form of state general obligation bonds amounting to roughly $160,000 every two years. Federal funding goes through the state library, which reallocates about $13,500 to the city for books and computer software. “If the state loses federal funding, databases, such as Chilton Car Guide and Newsbank, will disappear,” says Hodapp. “We will not have the budget to replace the state’s databases.”

Support from the Friends of the Santa Fe Library, the Brindle Foundation and anonymous donors supplement the library’s budget by funding Books and Babies, a children’s pre-literacy program, along with bilingual Spanish storytime.

But if library funding ends up on the chopping block, Hodapp says she would have to

“get creative to fund things other than salaries, lights, books and maintenance,” and would possibly hold fundraising events as she has in the past.

Cynthia Aguilar, librarian at the Santo Domingo Pueblo Library, says at least 60 people ask her for help each day with homework, computer classes, printing tax documents and filling out veterans benefit forms. Less than 25 percent of the library’s $75,000 annual budget comes from federal funding, but the lack of private donors limits options for additional money.

“To put it mildly, if the federal funding goes, I won’t be here,” says Aguilar, whose yearly salary is afforded by federal grants.

“Our community library won’t be open. It will be a travesty, because the tribe will be at a loss.”

Santo Domingo is not the only tribal library facing potential cuts. All 19 members of the New Mexico State Library’s Tribal Libraries Program would suffer greatly if the federal funding goes.

“I think Trump needs to rethink,” says Aguilar. “Cutting is not always the best solution, especially to rural areas where we already have to travel longer distances for resources.”

Two years ago, Joshua Finnell accepted a position at Los Alamos National Laboratory to become the scholarly communications and data librarian. In that role, he helps researchers plan, curate, disseminate and preserve digital research data. He is an active member on various national science and technology boards and locally serves on the board of the Santa Fe Public Library and plans to be on the lobbying trip next month.

Finnell, who remembers spending the majority of his childhood “consuming books about whales and planets” in Illinois, writes in an email that, in the brief time he has spent in Santa Fe, he is “truly in awe of the creative and artistic spirit in the city.”

“For many folks,” writes Finnell, “and myself, that creative spirit was sparked at a local public library.”

anta Fe’s venerable position in the hierarchy of architecture of New Mexico cities is a hard-fought distinction. Home of the “oldest church,” the “oldest house,” the “oldest continuously occupied government building” and the state’s only cathedral basilica, we’re also proud of our John Gaw Meem and our Paolo Soleri (rest in peace).

Building codes that keep the downtown historic district looking like an adobe Disneyland have the rest of the city leaning toward brown and round, too. From the stone facade on the McDonald’s on St. Francis to the faux-dobe on the Target and the Walmart Supercenter, even corporations are in on the game.

But then there are these buildings.

The SFR team picked some of the city’s structures that are, at present, anomalous to the traditional Santa Fe landscape. What we learned is that in most cases, plans to update, finish and reuse these buildings call for millions of dollars, some of which could be on the way, and some of which seem out of reach.

Ever drive by that crazy cinder block castle on Agua Fría and wonder what the story is? Puzzle over the vacant Railyard shopping center? Question whether it’s really Boo Radley that lives in the once-fancy house on the corner of Galisteo and Paseo de Peralta? Us too.

ST. CATHERINE’S INDIAN SCHOOL RIO GRANDE AVENUE Nestled on a hillside less than a mile from the Plaza, the buildings on the sprawling, vacant campus of the place locals call St. Kate’s have been crumbling back to the earth. Among the structures are one of the state’s tallest adobes built before the turn of the 20th century, as well as murals painted by Edward O’Brien, an artist who is also buried alongside several nuns in the property’s graveyard.

In what seemed like an open invitation for vandalism and squatting, the downward spiral began when the boarding school, with State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Vigil counted among its alumni, closed in 1998. A developer hoping to sell most of the land to the nearby national cemetery took over. Years passed, proposals for development came and went, neighbors raised varying degrees of protest, one dude went to prison, a Colorado bank became the owner, and it seemed like all would surely be lost.

Yet, now an organization with a solid reputation for executing housing projects has purchased the campus and holds out a glimmer of hope. When the school went up for auction on the courthouse steps in April 2016, the Santa Fe Civic Housing Authority took its title for $2 million.

“The board felt that somebody needed to step in and save this property. It was going to continue to deteriorate,” Housing Authority CEO Ed Romero tells SFR. “And we felt like we were probably the only organization that could step in to stabilize the property while we figured out what to do with it long-term.”

The housing authority provides apartments for people with federal Section 8 housing vouchers, but also runs a number of market-rate units to help offset the costs. A mixed-use project like that could be in the cards for the school, but with

at least $5 million in capital required for rehabbing the worst and most historic structures, that’s a tall order.

Today, the campus is playing host to elaborate sets constructed for the film Cliffs of Freedom, a Greek war drama starring Christopher Plummer and Billy Zane. Right now it’s a feature film, but its producers hope it will turn into a longer-running television series. Romero says the filming lease came at a perfect time, just after the housing authority bought the land in the last part of 2016. It gives them an income source that could last another several years and gives them cash for badly needed work on areas such as the foundation for the tall adobe building, he says. Next, any development plan would need to meet the city’s approval.

“We are not ready to discuss long-term solutions to the property at this point,” Romero says. He adds later: “It could be a good deal or it could be a huge nightmare.” (Julie Ann Grimm)

largely the same, with gray cinder blocks exposed and construction remnants haphazardly scattered about. In recent years, though, Romero has spruced up the place, stuccoing over the battlements and the rest of the fortress.

He’s gotten creative, too—or stayed creative, and furthered the medieval feel of the place. Huge, flanged concrete pipes are set on their ends on either side of the property, a nod to the towers that often occupy the corners of a castle wall.

It looks like it might be used as apartments, but it’s hard to tell. Just the way Romero prefers.

“I’d rather have it as a mystery,” he says.

While he steadfastly refuses to share the property’s origins, what his designs for it were or even if they started off as his designs, there is some public information available about it. In 2015, Romero convinced the city to let him use the property commercially. His appeal said he’s owned the land for decades and that there’s a well- and pump-repair business on site,

as well as a few mobile homes closer to the Santa Fe River.

It doesn’t quite have the same creepy feel since getting a makeover, but Romero is doing his best to at least make the castle sound sinister.

“Who knows what you’ll write?” he laughs before saying goodbye. “But I’ll enjoy reading it.” (Matt Grubs)

SPEAKING OF CASTLES RODEO ROAD

“When you throw yourself into the water and you start to swim, you have to keep swimming.”

Leonel Capparelli is standing on the second-story veranda of a Spanish Colonial-style building off Rodeo Road on the southeast side of town. He has a big cup of coffee and a cigarette in hand. The sun is shining, a dusting of fresh snow is melting, and the building he’s been working

A MAN’S CASTLE IS, WELL, HIS AGUA FRÍA STREET “The less I say about it, the better,” Emelecio “Leroy” Romero tells SFR in a brief phone call about one of the most recognizable homes in town. He’s trying to politely get off the phone, but not before impishly sharing a few thoughts about the cinder block castle in the 2700 block of Agua Fria Street.

“I get all kinds of questions about it,” he says. “People tell me it’s haunted, that people have hung themselves in there, that people have been decapitated.”

Yeah. Probably none of that is true.

SFR’s cover photo was snapped in 1981. The castle’s crenellations have become so iconic since then that the Palace of the Governors archived the photo. A couple of decades later, the castle looked

on for a decade is, he figures, 90 percent finished.

“I just knew what I wanted,” he says of the project he began in 2007. “I didn’t know what it would cost.”

He does now: close to $1 million by the time he switches on the lights and opens it to the public. Capparelli plans the project as a showroom for his Hands of America antique restoration and reproduction business.

For a time, the work was just too much.

The economy tanked shortly after he got started and the building sat with plywood patched over unfinished sections. Stiff winds ripped at the blue tarps that covered spots where the elements eventually poured in. The place looked for all the

world like it would start with a grandiose cry and end with an ugly whimper.

But that’s not Capparelli’s style.

“These days, people don’t know about art,” he tells SFR, “art that hurts.”

The son of Italian parents who raised him in Uruguay, he designed the building with a nod to both his childhood home and the churches he saw throughout Latin America. “I have a thing for churches,” he laughs. “When they build them, they build them for God. You cut corners, he knows.”

When someone suggested that he close a massive hole in the roof where he planned to install a $30,000 skylight, he refused. For three years. “The place makes no sense without a skylight,” he

says. He’s right. Morning sun floods the building’s interior through the peaked panes.

The structure is an homage, he says, to a time when people were willing to build things that last. Much of the material inside—beams, columns, doors, ironwork— is recycled from old cabins in Veracruz, Oaxaca and southern Mexico. Some of it, he figures, is 200 years old.

He moved to Santa Fe 30 years ago and has seen it change, sometimes not for the better. When the city annexed his property a few years back, he had to convince it to let him continue the project, despite the fact he could only spend weekends painstakingly finishing the place.

“I could have slapped up a metal building for a couple hundred thousand dollars,” he says, although it takes only a few minutes of talking with him to know he’d never do such a thing.

“I think the New Mexican style is something very special that you cannot see throughout the rest of the world,” he muses. He runs a hand along a pile of weathering wood and excuses himself to get back to work. (MG)

IT’S A SIN TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD GALISTEO STREET AND PASEO DE PERALTA On the historical rolls, the two-story Italianate house at the corner of Paseo de Peralta and Galisteo Street is known as Sargent House. We wouldn’t blame you if you thought Boo Radley lives there.

Occupying the prominent site since 1912, the house was lived in by former mayor William G Sargent (1914-18) until his death in 1935. Historic surveyors called it an “excellent example of turn-

of-the-century houses that followed the railroad west.”

The home unquestionably has a stately air to it, but seems to perennially be in need of repair. When the city surveyed it in 1993, the condition was listed as “fair.”

The only other classification left was “deteriorating.”

Today, it has a decidedly unkempt appearance: trim is weathered, paint is peeling, window screens are sagging and trees are overgrown. Restoring the structure would be a herculean task for the family trust that owns the property. A representative for the Press family, which became the home’s owners after the Sargents, declined to talk about the property’s history or the cost of keeping the place standing. No one answered the door when we knocked.

Neighbors who’ve seen it and know what it takes to rehab old buildings tell SFR the cost to get the old home up to snuff would easily clear $1 million and probably double that.

“They did some maintenance about 10 years ago when we asked them to,” says Santa Fe Historic Preservation Division head David Rasch. Since then, he describes the upkeep as minimal.

It’s a big job, one the city understands.

“Probably the most difficult part of my job is balancing private property rights and the public good,” Rasch says. “Yes, you have the right to handle your property, but you’re in a historic district and there’s a public good to that property.”

Because the home is in the Don Gaspar Historic District, there’s the challenge of keeping it looking new and old at the same time. It’s listed as “significant,” so every facade of the house has to stay just as it is. That makes a quick teardown and rebuild impossible. It’s still unlikely the city will crack down on the trust anytime CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

soon, but Rasch points out that the law doesn’t allow what’s called “demolition by neglect.”

Across the street, Restaurant Martín faces the structure. Employees say customers routinely ask about the old house. About all the upscale restaurant can share with them is that they think the property has been in the same family for at least three generations and, unless it someday collapses, it’s not going anywhere. (MG)

LITTLE HOUSES MADE OF TICKYTACKY DON GASPAR AVENUE The four casitas across from the Roundhouse are the kind of buildings you might not give a second thought if you pass by them each day. They’re tiny.

Three of them have tiny garages, too.

And they’re not in very good shape.

The stucco is badly cracked and pockmarked on the northernmost house.

Paint is peeling from the windows. The roof of one garage has fallen in. They are surrounded by a new parking garage that’s well cared-for and a parking lot that’s in the same rotten shape as the casitas.

But the old homes are historically important; just ask Santa Fe’s Historic District Review Board. “Before the state Capitol complex expanded, this was just a residential area like you’d see on the other side of Paseo de Peralta,” says David Rasch, head of the city’s Historic

Nusenda takes care of our money.

Preservation Division. “The casitas are remnants of what used to be here. So they embody the story to be told about this neighborhood.”

The garages, as dilapidated as they might be, are some of the first examples of purpose-built car storage in Santa Fe. All the buildings were constructed in the 1920s or ’30s. “You could get a Model T in them, but not one of today’s automobiles,” Rasch offers.

The buildings are in the Downtown and Eastside Historic District. So when the H-Board (that’s what city staffers call the Historic District Review Board) named them as contributing structures in the 1980s, the distinction carried with it certain protections. When the state announced plans in 2012 to build an executive office building on the site, it asked for another review. The answer this time was that three of the houses and one garage couldn’t be altered at all, and the other three structures were still contributing. The state says the building plan is on hold.

That choice may be as much about money as it is about respect for the casitas, which house state offices and are on state land. While the state does need to seek approval from the H-Board, its appeal doesn’t go to the Santa Fe City Council, as a normal appeal might. It goes to a seven-member board, four of whom are appointed by the state.

There are minimum upkeep standards for the buildings—as there are with any historic structure—but don’t look for the city to go slapping fines on the state any time soon; Santa Fe has done the math for its chances of winning an appeal against the state and knows it’s not smart to pick a fight.

Halpin Building mural

ARTS HIGH SCHOOL DESTINED FOR SCRAPPY MALL SANBUSCO CENTER When anchor business Borders closed its operations nationwide in 2011, we all pretty much thought that would signal immediate demise for Sanbusco, the Railyard-area shopping center. But the scrappy little mall survived as Santa Fe’s go-to spot for fancy pens, upscale pet accouterments, ladies’ finery and more. After all, the Sanbusco Center is a historical landmark listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Developer Joseph Schepps bought and repurposed the former Santa Fe Bus Company in 1984, more than 100 years after it was first built.

Cut to September 2015, and the New Mexico School for the Arts (NMSA) announced it would buy the building for $7.2 million to create its new campus.

The move ups the school’s square footage from around 33,000 (at its current location in the former St. Francis Cathedral School) to nearly 76,000, thereby creating the space for more appropriate facilities such as dance and music performance rooms, a theater department, more classrooms, a gallery and an outdoor sculpture studio.

The school displaced a number of Sanbusco businesses, forcing locally owned shops like Santa Fe Pens, Teca Tu and Bodhi Bazaar to the DeVargas Center.

Others, such as On Your Feet, temporarily stayed put as the school worked out the details (On Your Feet now plans to move across the street to spaces in the Guadalupe Station over the summer).

In September last year, NMSA earned City Council approval to alter the building and repair some structural issues that school officials say calls for an investment of about $30 million.

That’s right: a three with seven zeroes behind it.

The director of NMSA’s Art Institute, Cece Derringer, says the school has raised a little over half that goal on their own through private funding and hopes for city government to pick up some of the rest as the school continues its own fundraising efforts.

The school says its economic impact should help the city’s adjacent Railyard property with additional jobs, new businesses and more foot traffic.

“We’re already starting to build great working relationships with our neighbors and our community,” says Beckie Mascolo, NMSA Art Institute marketing director. “We’re working to strengthen the relationships, and that’s very exciting.”

Founded in 2010, the charter school enrolls through an audition process rather than the traditional application or lottery formats of similar institutions.

For now, Head of School Cindy Montoya says she hopes the former mall will be student-ready for its 221 students by the summer of 2018, with enrollment numbers increasing in the future. “Our charter cap goes to 300, but we’re hoping to one day increase that to 400,” she says.

“We want to reach more of those students who deserve to be here. … I think by 2019 we’ll start to see increased numbers.”

A FUTURE FOR CONTEMPORARY ART GUADALUPE STREET AND MONTEZUMA AVENUE

Built in 1938 as a distribution warehouse, the 34,000-square-foot Halpin Building has served as a bottling plant and the State Records and Archives office (and is named after the first records administrator, Joseph Halpin). Since then, it’s been used by the Department of Cultural Affairs as a storage space during the New Mexico

When I walked into it, it just spoke to me. It said, ‘Mary, I am your contemporary art space.’

-Mary Kershaw, Director, New Mexico Museum of Art

History Museum’s construction, and as the Office of Archaeological Studies until it moved into its permanent location off Hwy. 599 in 2013. What used to be a loading dock along Guadalupe Street is now a great place to waste time sitting in the warm rays of the same sun that has faded the mural on the building’s north side.

But if New Mexico Museum of Art Director Mary Kershaw and President/CEO Jamie Clements bring their vision to fruition, the building may soon become the satellite site for the contemporary collection of the New Mexico Museum of Art. The state’s art museum opened in its grand building on the Santa Fe Plaza in 1917, when just 5,000 people called Santa Fe home. “Twelve hundred people came to the opening of the museum,” Kershaw says. On its centennial anniversary, leaders are looking just as far into the future.

“The museum is too small for what we need it to be as the state art museum,” Kershaw says. “The spaces are not appropriate for contemporary art, collection storage is full, we have no educational rooms. We were looking for how we could expand the footprint of the museum to accommodate contemporary art collection storage.”

Even though the Railyard building is on the other side of downtown, it’s the site they hope will serve that purpose. The state Department of Cultural Affairs took over the structure in the late ’90s, mostly using it for offices until about five years ago.

Kershaw had seen the interior of the Halpin building in the past, when it was filled with floor-to-ceiling shelving, dwarfing the giant rooms. In her quest for more collection storage, Kershaw popped into the then-empty warehouse and saw its potential. “When I walked into it, it just spoke to me. It said, ‘Mary, I am your contemporary art space,’” Kershaw says.

Clements echoes her sentiment. “We call it the big reveal,” he tells SFR. “The outside doesn’t suggest the magnificence of the inside.”

Romanced by the expansive floor plan, Clements and Kershaw conspired immediately to actualize their dream of transforming the building. And, surprise, the museum is trying to raise $10 million to renovate the building.

“Very rarely do you find an ideal building, and then to find an ideal building that’s in the right place,” says Kershaw.

“It’s in the right place, so there’s the potential for synergy and connectivity.”

The museum’s directors see the contemporary venture as an opportunity for deeper and more frequent collaboration with existing like-minded institutions such as SITE Santa Fe and the Center for Contemporary Arts.

Clements says the project is on track.

“We are about eight months into it and we are a quarter of the way to our goal [for the first phase of the campaign]. We’ve raised $2.5 million, so we feel very optimistic.” In May of 2018, the museum has a gala planned to launch the public donation phase of the Centennial Campaign, at which point smaller donations can be made. Until then, they’re seeking larger dollar amounts, including the option to rename the building, Clements says, “for a cool $4 million.” (Maria Egolf-Romero)

Still Lifes From A Bunker Capturing Vietnam with an artist’s eye It took almost 30 years and the encouragement of his fellow vets during a three-year outpatient program at a VA hospital for Herb Lotz to view the photos he took during his service in the Vietnam War. “I couldn’t emotionally handle looking at them,” he confesses.

Lotz was an artist before he was a soldier, and he uses his camera lens like many use a paintbrush: to recreate and share his vision with the world. He graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago with a degree in photography before being drafted, whereupon he photographed his fellow soldiers and scenes around him during the conflict.

“I just sort of continued to do that when I could,” Lotz says.

The young artist took over 50 rolls of film during a 12-month period between March 1968 and March 1969, time he spent in a bunker built around his telecom unit. The best of these images are featured in the upcoming exhibit, Sleeping During the Day: Vietnam 1968.

Lotz was not a foot soldier. “My duty was to pass information,” he tells SFR. “I had a secret clearance and I was passing encrypted information over the airwaves.”

Unlike the photographs from the most gruesome time in the jungles of Vietnam, which are often blatantly violent and focused on the machinery of war, Lotz focused on people. “They show the interior of these people,” he says, “their spiritual or cognizant interior.”

Normal Joes were the focus of leading photographers at the time, like Diane Arbus and Kenneth Josephson, both of whom inspired Lotz. He says he kept their works in mind as his shutter closed over fellow Vietnam soldiers. “I was just documenting my life,” he says.

Today, the images don’t cause him as much pain as they once did, but he still sees loss. “Primarily it’s about the loss of innocence on some level,” he says. “Being a soldier, you’re young and you’re drafted or you sign up and you can’t really know what it’s like to be in a war until you’re in one.” (Maria Egolf-Romero) SLEEPING DURING THE DAY: VIETNAM 1968 OPENING RECEPTION 5 pm Friday April 7.

Well, great (opposite!)— musician Josh Martin is moving back to Los Angeles any second now, and that’s a pretty huge loss to local music, but also to the people-who-are-totallynice-to-me-when-I-run-into-them list. Turns out Martin’s awesome wife got a job offer she couldn’t refuse. We love Martin and will miss his super-cool attitude and also his fine musicianship. Come visit at least, Josh?

y dad graduated high school in 1939 and enlisted for World War II,” musician and educator Peter Williams says. “He wanted to fight Nazis … kind of—he really just wanted to be in a swing band, and the Army had the best players.” Williams says music ultimately became a way for he and his father to connect.

“My mother died when I was 6, but I think I was more interesting to her at first because she was an active musician,” Williams recalls. “She played [piano] for people like Aretha Franklin or The Staples Singers; my dad, by the time I was born, was an active-duty soldier, and really didn’t want me to go into music until one summer when I showed him the money I was making playing with this band that would go out and do Nugent songs. … That’s when he started showing me the real blues.”

Williams hopes to recapture this love of swing and down ’n’ dirty juke-joint honkytonk—and spread it—at his open-to-thepublic workshop series. He’s dubbed the series Genuine House-Rockin’ Music, and it’s held at at Santa Fe University of Art and Design, where he teaches music. “It’s a history lesson, it’s an appreciation lesson. I’m talking about X-rated, adult themes; hardcore,” he says. “Like, my dad would tell me he and his friends would go out and smoke reefer, and when a Chuck Berry song came on the radio, they’d do donuts in the intersection because they were just so freaked out.”

The workshop aims to get attendees playing the songs and culminates with a performance at Skylight in May. It’s great for people who want to learn more about legendary performers like Howlin’ Wolf or Muddy Waters. “Instead of showing them the same five Stones tunes, we go back further—this is the shit the Stones would trip on,” Williams explains. “My dad told me that it used to be, if you went into to one of

these juke-joints and started playing something heady, they’d kick your ass, take your instruments and finish the set. That’s what I’m talking about.”

Williams is himself a studied and multi-faceted musician, having played in numerous Santa Fe bands since his days as a student at the College of Santa Fe (now SFUAD, for at least the next little bit).

These days, he’ll lend a hand to KISS cover band Love Gun for shows and is available for session work, but his main passion lies with his funk act, The Sticky. Following last year’s fabled Prince tribute show in the Railyard (it was magical, sorry if you missed it), Williams returned to his day job at The Candyman Strings ’n’ Things where, he says, owner Cindy Cook asked him why he wasn’t pursuing music full-time.

“That was a damn good question,” he says with a laugh, “and so now I’m just at this point where I’ve jumped in with both feet.” Since its inception some years ago, The Sticky has written more original material than ever and has grown to include a full horn section. They sexy, and you can generally catch them at Skylight once a month.

Otherwise, Williams says that if SFUAD closes he’ll still teach music. “It’s so fun-

ny, because I used to get nervous about that kind of thing when I wasn’t hustling enough,” he says. “But the shit I tell my students all the time is that it’s really your job to make art, and sometimes that has nothing to do with being in a school. … What I learned about the blues had nothing to do with school! To get out there and experience life and heartaches and setbacks and soul-crushing defeats, the next step you make—that’s the blues! You either play it out or sing it out or you bottle it up and get cancer.”

You can catch both the Genuine House-Rockin’ Music workshop and a performance from The Sticky this Saturday.

We’d highly recommend you do both of those things.

GENUINE HOUSE-ROCKIN’ MUSIC 2-5 pm Saturdays April 8-May 19. $500 for entire series. Santa Fe University of Art and Design, 1600 St. Michael’s Drive, 920-4843 THE STICKY 9 pm Saturday April 8. $8. Skylight, 139 W San Francisco St., 982-0775

While we’re talkin’ about The Sticky in this week’s music column, did you know that their singer, Amy Lindquist, also hosts a community singing group series with Hidden Whale’s Angela Gabriel? Yup. It’s true.

Says Lindquist: “[It] is expanding into many areas: activism, workplace, anywhere it would be a benefit to a group to connect and create stuff together.” Solid!

THEATER Building of Worlds

BY C H A R LOT T E J U S I N S K I c o p y e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

E

1984

ven before the election last November, Santa Fe Playhouse Artistic Director Vaughn Irving chose the lineup for the theater’s 2017 season, leaning heavy on politics and controversy. One of his choices soon became uncomfortably appropriate.

Welcome to 1984.

With the theatrical version of George Orwell’s dystopian 1949 novel, the Santa Fe Playhouse presents the unnerving story that has again shot to the top of bestseller lists. Here, The Party rules, and love of anything but hate is a crime punishable by vaporization. If it sounds heavy, it is heavy.

But presented live in the playhouse’s intimate quarters, it is digestible, even for those sickened by current events.

When Winston (played beautifully, achingly, by Irving), a loyal Party member, meets Julia (a deft yet tender Tallis Rose), they realize that love is rebellion; emotion is terrifying yet necessary. They slowly break out of their walking-only-inright-angles trappings, secretly marrying and moving in together. There, we meet the Landlady, brought to magnificent life

by Libby King. She is boisterous and funny without being a caricature, reminding us that it is still possible to be human. Alternately, Hania Stocker as Comrade O’Brien affects an unsettling, breathy manner and ominous stooped posture—we, like Winston and Julia, don’t know what to make of him in the best worst way.

At the sold-out preview night, simple scenes of dialogue were most often brilliant. Glitchy projected videos from Freedom Hopkins broadcasted Big Brother’s message straight into our brains. But a few cluttered moments, mostly during scene changes, gave us pause. Was this too ambitious an undertaking for a small outfit?

No. That pause was brief. We trusted this cast, under direction of Robyn Rikoon, to lead us to an uncomfortable place. Ultimately, the audience is left unsettled by the play’s content because it is delivered in a sturdy vessel, and we come willingly along to Room 101.

7:30 pm Thursday-Saturday April 6-8 and 1315; 2 pm Sunday April 9 and 16. $15-$25. Santa Fe Playhouse, 142 E De Vargas St., 988-4262

Pie “What do you do when you don’t know what to do next?”

This question, as posed by director Kent Kirkpatrick, is at the heart of Pie, the latest ensemble-produced performance from Theater Grottesco. It opens April 13 at the Adobe Rose Theatre.

The play was sparked by a quote from the astronomer Carl Sagan: “If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first create the universe.”

So, what does that mean? The cast of four (John Flax, Danielle Louise Reddick, Tara Khozein and Apollo Garcia Orellana) has been trying to figure that out for two years, and Pie is the result. They play concrete characters—a geologist, an astrophysicist, an economist and a youth minister—in an increasingly non-concrete world in which the universe both dissolves and is re-created.

With less than 15 pages of dialogue, the script is short. The rest is movement and interaction. As humans become demigods and the setting shifts repeatedly, we see complex questions about existence brought to life in, hopefully, a relatable way.

“We all took themes from our lives and from the lives of the people around us that are very universal,” Orellana explains.

When told it still sounds pretty heady, Khozein offers: “If you were to describe a Looney Tunes cartoon, it would feel super cerebral. But it’s not. Children can see it and adults can see it because it’s done with comedy. We’re using a lot of those techniques to take very complex ideas [and make them] read onstage.”

Indeed, our own world grows a mite too Orwellian for comfort. 1984 has arrived.

Of an experimental theater performance about existence, I say: “I think a lot of people would be afraid to see something like this.”

In response, the cast breaks into hearty laughter—not at the idea, but with the idea. Yes, an experimental creation of the universe done onstage with little speaking is intimidating. “But this is the one they should see,” Flax says, “because this is the one that makes it all funny and clear.”

At Grottesco’s rehearsal space on the Southside, there are giant pieces of butcher paper on the wall with charts and graphs and storylines, the cast’s guide to creating the universe. One square says “shitstorm poop ballet.” Another simply reads, “BABY BOUNCE!” with energetic arrows pointing to other points of action.

Whatever this is going to be (and believe us, we don’t really know), we are excited.

7 pm Thursday-Saturday, April 13-15, 20-22 and 27-29; 2 pm Sunday, April 15, 22 and 29. $12-$25.

personal insights, Dan, since performing oral sex on women isn’t your thing. But perhaps your readers have a few surefire tricks that work when all else fails?

-Perhaps Everyone Really Says It’s Some Trick

I’m a woman in my late 40s. In my early 20s, I married a much older man. We did all the requisite things: kids, house, intercourse once a week. When the sex fell off due to his declining health, he surprised me by suggesting we open our marriage. He said I was too young to be limited and he didn’t want me to leave him for sex. I spent time contemplating how to truly fulfill my desires. I read a lot of erotica, indulged in porn, and discovered that what turned me on was Dominance. Not intercourse particularly, but power play with me as the Queen controlling a slave. I like chastity, face-sitting, and light bondage. I have found that this type of play appeals to smart and kinky gents. But I am finding that, despite a gentleman’s declaration of “wanting something long-term,” perhaps a friends-with-benefits arrangement, they tend to drop out in short order. Three times in the past two years I have spent a great deal of time getting to know someone before there was any play—a lot of time chatting online, several vanilla dates. In each of these instances, I felt that I had found a good friend. Each of these three men dumped me in exactly the same way.

Each said that I was too overwhelmingly beautiful and powerful, and that their obsession with me took up too much room in their lives.

This is very frustrating because I feel like I give someone the space they need. I think this is likely BS. Could “I’m overwhelmed” be the new “It’s not you, it’s me”? I am tired of having my feelings hurt. Must I hang up my crop forever?

-Done Offering My Mental Energy Forever hanging up your crop because a few guys tactfully ended things over a two-year period seems a bit melodramatic. So hang in there, DOMME, and hold on to that crop.

The mistake you’re making, if I may be so bold as to offer some constructive criticism to the Queen, is investing too much time and energy up front, i.e., you’re making large emotional investments in these guys before you get around to the play. You’ll want to screen guys for your own safety, of course, but spending “a great deal of time getting to know” a potential kinky FWB is a recipe for disappointment. Because if you don’t click during play—if your style of BDSM doesn’t do it for them or vice versa—there are really no “benefits” in continuing.

I suspect that was the case with your last three gents. But instead of ghosting you or saying something that could be construed as critical or unkind, all three heaped praise on you instead. You were too beautiful, too overwhelming, etc. It was, indeed, a kinder, gentler, subbier way of saying, “It’s not you, it’s me.”

Dominant women are in such short supply relative to demand that submissive men will, well, they’ll submit to an endless vetting process. During that process, submissive guys open to something long-term will say so, DOMME, but submissive guys who aren’t looking for something long-term will say so, too, if they sense that’s what you want to hear.

In order to be safe while avoiding avoidable heartache, DOMME, you’ll want to invest a little time in getting to know guys before you play—again, for your safety—but not so much emotional energy that you’ll be annoyed/ upset/devastated if it doesn’t work out.

Last night, the GF was on the receiving end of a session of oral sex, but maybe because we were in her sister’s spare bedroom, or for whatever reason, she would repeatedly get within a whisker of coming only to say, “STOP! Too intense!” But I am persistent if nothing else, and on the fourth try, we got there. Boy, did we get there! I can’t ask for

Your first three attempts got the GF close, PERSIST, and the fourth got her off. You obviously know what works for your girlfriend and don’t really need tricks or tips. You just keep doing what you’re doing, and next time you want to brag about your ability to get your GF there, go ahead and send me an honest brag.

There’s no need to phrase your bragging in the form of a question—this is Savage Love, not Sex Jeopardy.

My husband is wonderful. We are into BDSM. It’s always been super hot for me, and he’s always respected my boundaries. The other night, both of us had a lot to drink. I had WAY too much. We’d also been talking all night about me sucking his dick later. When we got home, he asked if I was too drunk for sex and I said we should have sex. I encouraged him.

But when kinky stuff happened—him fucking my mouth, slapping my face a little—I quickly realized I was too drunk. I felt hurt and confused instead of feeling turned on, I felt sad, but I didn’t want to tell him to stop. At some point, he realized I was too drunk for what we were doing and he stopped. The next day, I felt so sad. He feels horrible and says that, regardless of me insisting (more than once) that he continue, he should’ve known I was too drunk. He feels bad. I feel bad. Any direction you could point me in—perhaps a book to read?—would be appreciated.

-Didn’t Know My Limits You don’t need a book, DKML, you need a shift—a shift in focus.

Right now, you’re focused on everything that went wrong that night—the boozing, the confusion, a bad sexual experience with a trusted partner—and you don’t seem to be really registering or giving enough weight to what went right that night. Your husband sensed you weren’t feeling it, realized you were too drunk (a little late, but still), and then, despite the fact that you encouraged him to continue, he sensed you weren’t in the right head space (you weren’t enjoying yourself, you were too drunk) and stopped. Your husband, even with a hard dick, even inebriated himself, even while topping during BDSM, didn’t lose sight of your safety and comfort.

Don’t feel bad about the sex, or the kink, or your partner, DKML. Learn from this experience—BDSM and boozing don’t mix—and move on.

My wife and I are poly. Next week, my wife is going on a business trip, and I made plans with a woman who we sometimes hook up with to come over. The complication is that, at 8 a.m. the next morning, our housekeeper is supposed to show up—and she’s likely to see that my wife is away but I’m eating breakfast with another woman. I’m not sure what to do.

We’re open about being poly, but that seems like an awkward and inappropriate conversation to have with your housekeeper.

-An Inconvenient Guest You shouldn’t have to sneak around in front of your housekeeper, AIG, but your housekeeper probably—definitely—doesn’t want to hear the details of your sex life. So sneak out the back door or pass your lady friend off as a houseguest (remember to rumple the sheets in the guest room)—or reschedule either your housekeeper or your hookup.

SUN/9 BOOKS/LECTURES

SPECIAL LECTURE & BOOKSIGNING

You know her, you love her, she used to work here—it’s journalist/Santa Fe University of Art and Design educator Julia Goldberg, and she’s written a new book about—get this—writing! Inside Story combines textbook, memoir, tips and tricks into one compendium perfect for anyone from the newest student to the most grizzled whiskey-swilling newspaper writer. Published through local imprint Leaf Storm Press, Inside Story drops this week (6 pm Saturday April 8. Free. Collected Works Bookstore, 202 Galisteo St., 988-4226) so we caught up with Goldberg to get the inside scoop on this wildly useful tome. (Alex De Vore) The obvious question: Why’d you write this book?

I don’t think I would have thought to do this book if I hadn’t started teaching. There’s so many great books, but I couldn’t find one that had exactly what I wanted in it. You have to write a book to get that. I thought, ‘I want you to have this anecdote that happened to me.’ I kept telling a lot of stories in class and finally I thought it would be a lot easier if I just had a book.

Was it an easy or challenging project, given your writing background?

It took me about a year. I think writing on a deadline is, to some degree, ‘easy.’ I think if I have a very finite assignment, I can usually bang it out. But this book was hard for me to write. When I write my own personal thing ... I’m not Stephen King who can’t stop writing. I have been working on the worst American novel, I read a lot of fiction, I read a lot about everything, but it wasn’t as though someone handed me a curriculum.

Do you think people are getting sick of looking at screens and hoping to get back to print media?

I don’t think print is dead as long as we have paper.

Some of the predictions about the book industry turned out to not be accurate ... so far. It’s hard to feel like there’s any end to people’s love of it.

Unmasked Legendary cartoonists reveal fine art powers at City of Mud

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

T

here’s a way to be a cartoonist without ever spilling a drop of ink. “Most comics are done completely digitally these days,” says Jamie Chase, a local illustrator who works with respected publishers such as Dark Horse Comics. He hasn’t hopped on the digital bandwagon, though. His propensity for putting pen to paper is linked to the other masks he wears: fine artist and gallerist.

Chase exhibits his figurative and abstract paintings at Mill Contemporary on Canyon Road. He also co-directs City of Mud (1114-A Hickox St., 954-1705), which opened in October 2015 to spotlight artists who eschew Santa Fe’s notorious regional style for aesthetics that are making waves on the national contemporary art scene.

The gallery’s never done anything like Illustrated!, an exhibition of legendary comic artists showing off their fine art chops.

Chase, who curated the show, still can’t quite believe he’s managed to assemble such a super group.

“This is like my fantasy superhero team,” he says. “Except a couple of them have died.” Chase’s first friend in the larger comics community was Jeffrey Catherine Jones, a transgender artist whose remarkable career in comics stretched across five decades. Jones accepted Chase’s first-ever Facebook friend request, and the two kept in contact on the social network until Jones’ death in 2011. Through her, Chase met many of the career comic artists who appear in Illustrated!.

“The thing that connects these artists is that they all work in traditional materials,” Chase says, strolling through the half-installed show on a Wednesday afternoon.

“It represents a moment in illustration that may be dying, because it’s being replaced by purely digital creators. I would like for those younger artists to come in and see what it looks like when an artist actually does it on paper.”

The artists in Illustrated! sent Chase stacks of ink-on-paper

“Thinker” by William Wray shows a different side of Spidey.

BELOW: Scott Hampton’s “American Gods.”

sketches to frame, but they also offered up paintings that they worked on in their free time. Chase sifts through a cardboard box full of watercolors by George Pratt, a painter and illustrator known for his critically acclaimed graphic novel Enemy Ace: War Idyll from 1990. “Some of these watercolors look like work by John Singer Sargent,” says Chase, evoking the early-1900s Edwardian portrait painter.

Leaning against the wall nearby, there’s an

oil painting of a World War I soldier in a foxhole that captures the expressive energy of a great modernist canvas. “Anybody who thinks illustration can’t be abstract hasn’t looked up close at this thing,” Chase says. “It’s beautiful.”

Around the corner, Chase has arranged a series of small ink-and-watercolor drawings by Scott Hampton in a frame. Each of these works is a panel from the Hampton-illustrated “A Haunted Island” (from the graphic novel compilation Spookhouse 2), but he worked on them as individual compositions.

Chase illustrates comics in the same manner, carefully balancing details and abstract strokes within each panel to keep a viewer’s eyes on the move. “We’ll have the books on display during the show, so people can see how these panels look in context with the writing,” Chase says.

Other notable artists in the show include Bill Sienkiewicz, an Eisner Award winner who has illustrated The New Mutants and Elektra: Assassin for Marvel Comics, as well as Bruce Jones, a writer and illustrator who’s known for his racy 1980s retellings of sci-fi horror stories from the 1950s.

Albuquerque illustrator Andy Kuhn, who contributed several sketches to the show, was floored when he heard the list of artists.

“I have a pretty clear-cut idea of where I am in the hierarchy

of the comics world,” Kuhn told SFR by phone. “Most of the guys who are in this show are well above my station. My teenage self is geeking out, and my 50-year-old self is geeking out.” Kuhn’s quarter century-long career is nothing to sneeze at: He’s illustrated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mars Attacks for IDW Publishing, and co-authored FIREBREATHER, which was adapted into an Emmy Award-winning film for Cartoon Network in 2010.

Kuhn studied painting and drawing as an undergraduate student at Indiana University’s Herron School of Art, but took up cartooning after art school and hasn’t looked back. Participating in Illustrated! has inspired him to consider returning to his long-abandoned paint palette. “I am definitely going to be picking up a brush,” he says.

That’s exactly the sort of cross-pollination Chase is hoping to inspire. “These artists are amazingly talented, and it’s exciting to introduce them to entirely new audiences,” he says. “Being a commercial artist offers you the freedom to paint what you want in your free time, even if it wouldn’t necessarily sell in a gallery.” Unshackled from the pressures of the fine art market, these illustrators create imagery that soars—even if the title of “fine artist” is something of a secret identity.

FOOD

Today and Tomorrow

BY MICHAEL J WILSON t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he odd little space between Pink Adobe and Rio Chama has housed a number of different businesses over the years. I worked there 14 years ago when it was Café Pink, the Adobe’s failed attempt at a coffee shop. As of last fall, the space has become home to Gourmet Today Café (410-A Old Santa Fe Trail, 903-649-2128).

I’ve always liked the spot. It’s cozy, narrow and has a great patio with a very large mural celebrating Fiestas and the reconquest of Santa Fe that, subject matter aside, is a really a nice piece of art.

Owner TJ Griffith has managed to do something strange and beautiful here.

The place is an unapologetic throwback.

There are prints of birds on the walls.

The seats have crocheted cushions on them. Each table has a little potted plant on it. This may sound like a backhanded compliment, but there is a sense that your grandmother has opened her sitting room to visitors.

The concept of the restaurant is pretty unique as well. Griffith sells a list of standard sandwiches and soups, but the attraction is the rotating entree and dessert menu. Every day is a slightly different experiment in cooking with a mostly traditional American lean. It’s clear that this comes from a place of gen-

uine love of food—that it is also a business is probably a benefit.

The day I stopped by, the food gods were clearly happy with me—it was chicken pot pie day. I mean ... meat pies are my thing, and I think the meat pie drought has ended for Santa Fe. As luck would have it, I was with my friend Lefty (who went with me for the sad shepherd’s pie at Blue Corn Café in my first column). We both ordered the chicken pot pie ($15) with a side of corn bread served with fresh-made butter.

Entrees come with a nice small salad with seasonal veggies. Ours had beets and cucumber in it. The house dressing is a tangy, poppy vinaigrette that I could have poured on nearly anything.

Pie Quest 2017 Update

FIRST IMPRESSIONS: 1

The food is plated really well.

2 I was immediately comfortable in the space.

3

The food looks so, so good!

The pot pie was perfect: buttery, melty crust overflowing with creamy, but not overly thick, gravy and large hunks of chicken. Ample vegetables. The portion was just right. The cornbread was bright yellow and sweet, and the crust on top added just the right level of texture. The butter wasn’t skimpy.

After such a meal it may sound gluttonous to get dessert, but the options

for the day were Texas chocolate sheet cake with pecans ($7) or hot apple cobbler ($6.50). We got one of each, and this was the right choice. The cake was a slab of dense chocolatey sugar served warm enough to melt on your tongue. It was sweet but not cloying. You could taste the chocolate and the frosting was the right balance of fudge and heart attack. Cobbler is usually difficult. Most is just applesauce with a sad topping. This was light, eggy and delicate. Simply wonderful.

And this brings up the greatest positive of the place: It isn’t Mexican food.

I know this sounds weird, but a menu without green chile on it is something to behold. This is a restaurant serving what you find at family reunions, but at a fourstar level. It’s Southern comfort food, raised up. And Griffith doesn’t care for food trends. The menu features shrimp cocktail! I couldn’t even tell you the last time I saw that on a menu.

There is something oddly satisfying about simple, well-made cooking. The only drawbacks are price—it is definitely a touch pricey for lunch—and the location. Parking is a bit rough in that area.

Take a chance on it, though.

We often talk about restaurants as extensions of their chef, and this one is clearly an extension of Griffith. The place is a one-woman show; she cooks, waits on tables and does the dishes, the whole time chatting about the meal of the day. I can imagine myself being in a mood where this would annoy, but Griffith is too damn nice to not want to talk to her. This is restaurant as personality, and it just works.

Ghost in the Shell Review

BEST MOVIE EVER

10

A major disappointment

9 8

BY KENDALL MAC i n t e r n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

7

Strap in for yet another blockbuster blunder.

Scarlett Johansson’s (Avengers) latest motion picture dumpster fire, Ghost in the Shell, explores a not-so-distant-future where technology runs the lives of everyone in a racially ambiguous world. Major Mira Killian, portrayed by Johansson, is created and outfitted with a completely synthetic robotic body but controlled by a human brain. Her soul (the eponymous “ghost”) is trapped inside a cybernetic cage (the eponymous “shell”), rendering her an obedient, emotionless drone subject to her commander’s orders.

Throughout the entirety of the film it is apparent that Major truly cannot trust anyone and that you probably should have just gone to see Boss Baby.

Serving as an invisible assassin, fighting machine-gun misogyny with straight bangs and a rebel-without-a-cause attitude, Johansson’s performance does little to create a genuine connection with an audience. This film is actually an

2 ++ THERE’S A DOG -- WHITEWASHING

awful attempt to subliminally solidify whiteness as an indication of power through flashy graphics and obvious objectification of women. All the lead characters were portrayed by actors perceived to be white, living in a fictitious Asian-inspired foggy inferno fighting amongst themselves.

Equipped with shiny robotic ladyparts and a bad haircut, ScarJo fights robotic geishas with spider legs, oily-faced club owners and of course, like all great mysterious leading ladies, her inner demons. Johansson, who was clearly conjuring her character’s brooding and monotone demeanor from The L Word’s Shane, gives audi-

ences little to work with in an already-confusing storyline. Director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) has created a new and improved manic pixie robot dream girl who does little to distract from the racist and overly sexualized adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s 1989 manga of the same name. Just start there instead.

THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER

THE BLACKCOAT’S DAUGHTER

++ KIERNAN SHIPKA -- SLOW AS HELL; MINIMAL PAYOFF

The introspective, perhaps more socially conscious “new wave horror” movement in cinema has achieved some pretty killer results (what’s up, It Follows?!), but generally speaking, the tone and pacing of such movies can err toward the tedious. Whether this is meant to convey a methodical or even clinical approach remains unclear, and though themes and inspiration from the heyday of 1980s horror are surely part of the equation, we’re often left with a lot of “atmospheric” quiet moments and little payoff.

The Blackcoat’s Daughter (which is from 2015 but somehow opens now) falls someplace in there, though the closing few minutes kind of make it worth it … kind of.

Two teen girls are left stranded at their upstate New York boarding school over a break when their parents don’t arrive, and as things start to get creepy—y’know, because boarding schools are big and also creepy—young Rose (Lucy Boynton of Sing Street) begins to get the heebie-jeebies from Kiernan Shipka’s character, Kat. Meanwhile, another young woman, Joan

But still, questions remain. What’s up at the school? Why is Joan heading there? Where the hell are everyone’s parents? And why would the school be like, “Sure, you guys can just stay here by yourselves, just maybe call once in awhile or something”?

LOGAN

KEDI

The answers slowly (and we mean slowly) unfold and we start to think that maybe Kat’s, like, got a demon all up in her. Ultimately, Shipka’s performance becomes the film’s saving grace. She’s always carried a certain quiet intensity and, with very little dialogue, she brings a new twist to the horror trope of “creepy-ass little girl.”

You’ll probably need to be a horror fan to get the most out of this one, but The Blackcoat’s Daughter also has a funny way of sticking with you afterwards. It’s slightly rewarding to figure out the mild twist, but more exciting to revel in Shipka’s mastery of scary faces. (Alex De Vore) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 93 min.

begins to fight back against its captors with gnarly open-mouth kisses and floating spacecraft bloodshed. This film’s ever-evolving extraterrestrial assassin will surely make you glad you’re seated safely on Earth, maybe for the first time since election night.

Before you write off this film as a shiny new imitation of Ridley Scott’s creation spawned by money-hungry Hollywood executives, don’t let the pretty-faced playboys, Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), stifle an otherwise intense and entertaining movie; the acting is surprisingly impressive, the effects are outstanding and the sound cues will surely have you on the edge of your seat screaming, “Kill it with Fire!”

Though Espinosa may exploit the same basic storyline and similar shock elements of precursor sci-fi flicks, these inspirations further Life’s excellence rather than mangle its predecessors’ iconic, suspenseful style. Similar to the Xenomorph in Alien, this creature, lovingly referred to as Calvin, grows into a murderous squid-like desperado throughout the film, proving one of Life’s more horrifying lessons: Don’t screw with aliens.

Espinosa does pick up extra credit for including underappreciated international stars like Hiroyuki Sanada (Game of Chance), Rebecca Ferguson (The Girl on the Train), Olga Dihovichnaya (Twilight Portrait) and Ariyon Bakare (The Dark Knight), rather than center on the survival of one character. Yet, by the end of the film, Hugh Derry (played by Bakare) will probably go down in movie history as the worst fictional astroscientist. Turns out, when you are emotionally invested in more than one character, it makes the inevitable internalization of “Who’s going to make it out alive?!” even more unbearable. The last five minutes of the movie alone make the film worth the down payment necessary for popcorn and a small soda.

(Kendall Mac) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 103 min.

inevitably falls in love despite the meager machismo and brutish advances of resident asshole Gaston (Luke Evans from Fast & Furious 6). With the help of his house staff, Lumière (Trainspotting’s Ewan McGregor), Cogsworth (Lord of the Rings’ Ian McKellen) and Mrs. Potts (Love Actually’s Emma Thompson), the Beast is able to prove he’s worthy of Belle’s love through manipulation and coercion. Spoiler alert: The two lead characters inevitably fall in love and Gaston is the winner of the No Belle Prize.

The Beast, who never once gives his real name and doesn’t correct anyone when they call him such, tears Belle from her ailing father, falsely imprisons her, uses threats of violence and withholds food to convince her he’s “not like most guys,” only to triumphantly win her over with his extensive collection of leather-bound books.

Modern romance.

While the introduction of new songs, bright colors and subtle hints of Lafou’s queerness (portrayed by Book of Mormon’s Josh Gad) were distracting from the ragtag bunch of feeble fellas this film has to offer, Belle’s line rang true that “there must be more than this provincial life.” Perhaps maybe a plot point that doesn’t center around the

alienation or objectification of women who make their own choices? Just a suggestion.

Running a nearly unbearable two hoursplus, this film has all the fun-loving problematic characters we know and love from the original animated version. However, the best review for this film is probably a vague “ehhhh” noise and a noncommittal wiggly hand gesture. (KM) Regal, Violet Crown, PG, 129 min.

together in a fiery explosion was pretty badass, and we were entertained by not just Kong but the surprising other monsters that emerge from the forbidden jungle, splendid in its CGI majesty.

Yet, part of what made the flick promising was the thought of seeing Samuel L Jackson take on the biggest gorilla this side of the galaxy and John Goodman as a government monster-chaser.

Whether it’s the silly script or their shallow characters, neither leaves a remarkable impression.

The story is not supposed to be complicated, but did it have to be so predictable? Did the filmmakers have to write in one more female journalist (Brie Larson, Rampart) who seems to have brought too few clothes for a jungle mission? Why on earth didn’t she put her hair in ponytail while she tried to take pictures from the open door of the ‘Nam helicopter? And, oh no, why does she go from detesting to flirting with the ex-military expedition leaders in a matter of minutes? Wait for it: Why is she looking so lovingly into Kong’s terrifying red eyes?

These and more questions are sure to get non-answers as it seems all but certain there will be a sequel. Maybe even more than one. Plus, do yourself a favor and get your $11 out of the deal by staying through to final scene at the end of the credits. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 120 min.

-- GORE AT THE HANDS OF A KID

You know when Clint Eastwood got old and made Million Dollar Baby and it finally sunk in that even he too would wither and fade right in front of us on the big screen? At first, you feel this way about Hugh Jackman in the latest— and they promise us, sorta, the last—Wolverine movie. But then you realize that Logan is getting old, only he’s not going to go quietly into that good night.

While this is really the bajillionth in a series of long, sometimes-overproduced and complicated tales in the X-Men franchise, it’s true that you don’t really need a lot of backstory to follow along. Wolverine is tired. He coughs and limps.

He works as a chauffeur and carries businessmen and bachelorette parties in a limo around a city that resembles El Paso. But like a lot of those battling the marching of time (read: all of us), he’s got some bigger fights ahead.

dementia? It’s what one character says is “degenerative brain disease in the world’s most dangerous brain.”

This, and so much more, is on Wolverine’s scarred-yet-still-shapely shoulders. Although “new mutants” were supposed to be a thing of the past, a child with killer instincts and familiar metallic claws arrives in need of saving.

After that, maybe their fights have less in common with our fights. Rated R for violence, there’s a ton of gore in the story—no shortage of decapitations, impalements and claws through the head, eyes, neck and every other bloody part you can think of. Yet somehow when a little girl (a great performance, BTW, from a mostly otherwise silent Dafne Keen) lets out a grunt as she delivers it, you’re rooting for her along with the familiar man with the muscles. He’s old. But he’s still got it. (JAG) Regal, Violet Crown. R, 137 min.

Through this, Kedi sneakily becomes perhaps more about the humans in the cats’ lives rather than the opposite. A sailor, for instance, who once lost everything but was saved by a cat who led him to a hidden cache of money, spends his days roaming the port feeding feral kittens with a bottle. Elsewhere, a baker forms an unlikely alliance with a cat who unwittingly gives his life meaning beyond his work. In a nearby home packed to the rafters with countless strays, two women cook for and feed dozens of street cats daily.

Even those who aren’t in love with these fascinating creatures will find a captivating human story here. And rather than linger on the more cutesy aspects of felines, Kedi instead proves an inspiring treatise on the enriching aspects of animals and a satisfying glimpse into the beauty of the city itself.

++ NOT JUST FOR CAT LOVERS -- COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER

The camera moves along the ancient streets of Istanbul, following a particularly adorable orange cat. Diners at streetside cafés hand over treats. Passersby respectfully step around her. Nearby, a clever striped fellow scales a three-story building to visit a human friend in her apartment. At an outdoor flea market across town, young and old cats alike sleep amongst the wares. The camera pans along the port and cranes up over the gorgeous Golden Horn, revealing the massive labyrinth of a city. This is Kedi, a new documentary on the street cats of Istanbul from director Ceyda Torun, and it is awe-inspiring.

We follow the seemingly ordinary lives of various cats who live throughout the sprawling Turkish metropolis on the sea. From a rather polite comrade who haunts a deli patio (but is never so rude as to go inside), a beat-up old tabby who rules her perceived turf with an iron paw, a portside puffer who keeps the mouse population under control and beyond, the brief windows into the lives of cats come together to prove one thing: Cats are beloved in Istanbul.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of April 5th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be interested in first things, Aries. Cultivate your attraction to beginnings. Align yourself with uprisings and breakthroughs. Find out what’s about to hatch, and lend your support. Give your generous attention to potent innocence and novel sources of light. Marvel at people who are rediscovering the sparks that animated them when they first came into their power. Fantasize about being a curious seeker who is devoted to reinventing yourself over and over again.

Gravitate toward influences that draw their vitality directly from primal wellsprings. Be excited about first things.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) I hope that by mid-May you will be qualified to teach a workshop called “Sweet Secrets of Tender Intimacy” or “Dirty Secrets of Raw Intimacy” or maybe even “Sweet and Dirty Secrets of Raw and Tender Intimacy.” In other words, Libra, I suspect that you will be adding substantially to your understanding of the art of togetherness. Along the way, you may also have experiences that would enable you to write an essay entitled “How to Act Like You Have Nothing to Lose When You Have Everything to Gain.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Are you weary of lugging around decayed guilt and regret? Is it increasingly difficult to keep forbidden feelings concealed? Have your friends been wondering about the whip marks from your self-flagellation sessions? Do you ache for redemption?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, listen up.

The empathetic and earthy saints of the Confession Catharsis Corps are ready to receive your blubbering disclosures. They are clairvoyant, they’re non-judgmental, and best of all, they’re free. Within seconds after you telepathically communicate with our earthy saints, they will psychically beam you eleven minutes of unconditional love, no strings attached. Do it! You’ll be amazed at how much lighter and smarter you feel. Transmit your sad stories to the Confession Catharsis Corps NOW! GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Now is an excellent time to FREE YOUR MEMORIES. What comes to mind when I suggest that? Here are my thoughts on the subject. To FREE YOUR MEMORIES, you could change the way you talk and feel about your past. Re-examine your assumptions about your old stories, and dream up fresh interpretations to explain how and why they happened. Here’s another way to FREE YOUR MEMORIES: If you’re holding on to an insult someone hurled at you once upon a time, let it go. In fact, declare a general amnesty for everyone who ever did you wrong. By the way, the coming weeks will also be a favorable phase to FREE YOURSELF OF MEMORIES that hold you back. Are there any tales you tell yourself about the past that undermine your dreams about the future? Stop telling yourself those tales.
