CLEAR THE SMOKE In Ricardo Garcia’s letter of 11/6/19 he makes illogical and convoluted statements about my letter of 10/23.

I made two factual points: there is a consensus about the use of prescribed burns amount the Forest Service, the Timber Industry and individuals who receive contracts to promote or implement prescribed burns.

The second point I made is that federal law requires an environmental impact study before proceeding with a proposed thinning and burning on a scale as large as their plan.

Furthermore, the Cerro Grande fire was a prescribed burn that got out of control, not a wildfire. There is a big difference between a prescribed burn started with fossil fuel accelerants and toxic chemicals, and a wildfire. The damage caused to the soil and the rest of the environment, wildlife, and humans hasn’t been properly studied yet.

If the Forest Service plans are so sound, why are they fighting an environmental impact study so hard? Their attempts to manufacture consent through fear have

Ditching plastic just got easier Santa Fe’s new Soap Refill Station makes reuse easy and affordable

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

uitting our societal plastic habit can sometimes seem like an insurmountable challenge, especially when faced with the onslaught of plastic packaging that guards everything from new electronics to toothpaste.

Even if you’re the type of person to buy food in bulk and use real dishware at parties, your kitchen and bathroom cabinets are still likely populated by an assortment of cleaning products and cosmetics in disposable tubes and bottles.

While most of these plastic containers will probably be thrown away or recycled once empty, Amy Harmon, owner of the newly opened shop Soap Refill Station, hopes Santa Fe residents will reuse them.

“Plastic isn’t inherently bad, you can use it multiple times so there’s actually no reason for plastic to be so disposable,” she tells SFR. The concept behind the shop is simple: we don’t need to trash the earth to keep our bodies and homes clean. Essentially, this is the stainless steel coffee mug option for home and beauty products— bring a reusable container, refill with your favorite product, and voilà! One less plastic bottle in the landfill.

Bulk drums and jugs, up to 55 gallons in capacity and containing products such as shampoo, stain remover and dish soap line the walls of the storefront at 1925 Rosina St., Ste. H. Tables in the middle of the room hold large aluminum tubs of powdered laundry detergent, slabs of hard soap, and bath bombs Harmon makes in-house.

There’s even an “oil bar” at the back for customizing one’s product of choice with essential oils and exfoliants.

Amy Harmon is a recent transplant from Springfield, Missouri, where she helped a friend open a similar soap refill station last year.

All the soaps are plant-based and free of synthetic dyes and fragrances.

Products are priced by weight, with discounts on larger quantities.

“I find that having this option and being able to cut down on my waste—even if it’s just 20, 30, 40%—that’s very helpful,” says Harmon. “I think that if you try to tackle the problem all at once and go 100% zero-waste overnight, especially if you have a family and a job, that is too burdensome. But there are choices you can make along the way, and this model definitely changed my perspective on waste.”

For the individual, “zero-waste” entails lifestyle choices that eliminate products that ultimately get thrown away.

Think handkerchiefs instead of Kleenex.

For society, according to the Recycling Council of British Columbia, “achieving Zero Waste depends on designing products and industrial processes so that their components can be dismantled, repaired and/ or recycled.”

The concept of ditching the trashcan completely may sound daunting. But disposable plastic didn’t enter the mainstream consumer market in the US until after World War II. Plastic first became widely used by the military for making parachutes, ropes and plexiglass airplane windows. Saran wrap was

invented in 1933, the first plastic spray bottle was developed in 1946, and garbage bags were first sold for commercial use in 1950.

Humans survived well into the 20th century without this conveniently disposable man-made material. People like Harmon are re-imagining a modern lifestyle without it.

Harmon is a recent transplant from Springfield, Missouri, where she helped a friend open a similar soap refill station last year. When she arrived to Santa Fe in June, she set her sights on replicating the model here.

When SFR came to replenish the office dish soap supply, we chose the most affordable option and were surprised to discover that even after adding a pricey $.60 of lemongrass essential oil to the unscented soap, we still got a better deal than if we had bought the product at any other store in Santa Fe. For comparison, the same product, 24-ounce ECOS Pro Free and Clear Dish Soap, costs $3.99 at both La Montanita Coop and at Albertsons. Without the added scent, the same quantity at the Soap Refill Station cost us $2.98.

“I try really hard to have a variety of price points, because I don’t want anyone who wants to adopt this model to feel like they can’t afford it,” says Harmon. “I don’t want to alienate anyone.”

The affordable price point is part of it—in addition to very high end and expensive soaps and cosmetics, she carries an affordable option in each category of product.

Yet, even if her products come in bulk containers, they still come in plastic. This is where Harmon hopes the community at large will step in to help find innovative solutions. She says she’d like to partner with someone who would re-purpose the 55-gallon drums into rain barrels, for instance. “If you have an idea,” she says, “I’m open to suggestions.”

S FR E P O RTE R .CO M / N E WS

Take It Outside New Mexico’s growing outdoor recreation sector faces challenges as it works to level up

T

aos native Nick Streit has been leading visitors on fishing trips since he was a teenager. In fact, some of his first clients had to chauffeur their guide because he didn’t yet have a driver’s license. Today, Streit owns the Taos Fly Shop, which was originally run by his father, and co-owns The Reel Life in Santa Fe, which he and Ivan Valdez purchased in 2014.

Business continues to grow: Streit’s payroll for both shops in 2019 will approach $600,000, and what was once a family business now pays 10 full-time employees and 12 seasonal ones, all from rural areas around Taos, Española and Santa Fe. They offer 1,000 guided trips per year.

“Many born and raised New Mexicans like myself have found a stable and fulfilling career right here at home,” Streit told lawmakers on the Legislature’s interim Economic and Rural Development Committee last week during a public hearing on outdoor recreational tourism.

“While so many friends I grew up with in Taos, and so many talented youth have to leave the state to find jobs and careers in other places, the fishing business for me has been a way to make a life here.”

But while business swells, challenges loom, including climate change and its concomitant drought and forest fires.

Other environmental threats: potential mining near Terrero and the Copper Flat Mine in Sierra County. Streit said his father closed The Taos Fly Shop in 1987, after seven years in business, largely because of the impact mining for molybdenum in Questa had on both the lower Red River and the Rio Grande (Streit reopened the shop in 2004).But management of fish and wildlife resources represents, perhaps, the most daunting quagmire. The Department of Game and Fish is funded by license fees, Streit noted, but has not raised those fees in more than a decade. Its approximate $40 million annual budget pales compared with other states.

“More and more people are fishing in New Mexico,” Streit said. “This is adding a lot of pressure on our streams and rivers and our lakes; we don’t quite have the infrastructure.” As a result, he added, many

recreation areas have crumbling cement picnic tables and broken bathrooms, as well as poaching due to insufficient game wardens.

“I think we can do better,” he said. “I think if we invest … in the landscape we all love, we are ultimately investing in our own economy and rural communities.”

Francisco Valenzuela, director of Recreation Heritage and Wilderness for the US Forest Service’s Region 3 out of Albuquerque, also pointed toward the infrastructure needs his agency faces.

“If you go to our campgrounds and our day-use sites, they look a little rundown,” he said. “I’m not proud of that, but it’s been very difficult over the last decade in particular to maintain these facilities, sustain them and, as they become run down, as they exceed the capacity of use, that turns away tourists.”

Valenzuela also remarked that many facilities were designed in a different era, with campgrounds intended for tents not necessarily serving modern campers in RVs; trails designed for hikers and horseback riders rather than mountain bikers.

“We need to rethink about who we are serving and how we can best service and look at leveraging these federal assets,” he said. “We need to begin to think about new recreational places; we need to be thinking about exciting recreational opportunities.”

That’s all that Axie Navas, director of the state Economic Development Department’s new Outdoor Recreation Division, has been thinking about since coming on the job a month and a half ago. The division was created by the Legislature and approved last spring by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to tap into New Mexico’s outdoor recreation sector as a major driver in the economy.

COURTESY AXIE NAVAS

BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl

TOP: Nick Streit, owner of Taos Fly Shop and The Reel Life in Santa Fe shared information on his industry with lawmakers last week.

LEFT: Axie Navas, the state’s first director of its new Outdoor Recreation Division, last week told lawmakers on the Legislature’s interim Economic and Rural Development Committee about the opportunities and challenges faced in growing the outdoor recreation economy.

Navas, a former Outside Magazine journalist, told lawmakers she’s driven nearly 3,000 miles around the state, visiting with people in 18 counties to spread the word and gather feedback.

Outdoor recreation already contributes $2.3 billion to the state’s gross domestic product, she said, including $92 million from snow sports and $40 million from guided tours and outfitted travel, such as what Streit’s businesses provide.

According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, the sector employs 33,000 people here. Plus the “abundance” of resources: five national forests, 15 national parks and monuments, 34 state parks and 26 wilderness areas. “We are a vast, wild state,” Navas said. “And we offer the types of experiences, and solitude, that people crave, and that are becoming increasingly rare.”

To fully capture its potential market, she said, New Mexico needs to help the industry with workforce development, as well as educate stakeholders about available resources. Her department will soon launch a website to this end. Finally, New Mexico has some perception issues. She’s encountered industry people at Outdoor Retailer shows, for example, who don’t know it snows here.

“But these conversations are changing,” she said, “especially as companies realize the lifestyle they build their brands around—access to the outdoors— is dissolving on the Front Range, the Bay Area, due to exorbitant real estate prices and traffic snarls.” Navas said she thinks the “question of outdoor rec cred will resolve itself” as New Mexico meets the “challenge and opportunity” of helping those businesses thrive.

H

elen Chavez locks her front gate beneath a full moon and a chilly wind, then quickly bustles into the mobile home where she has lived for decades on Santa Fe’s Southside, just off Airport Road.

Her home—small, but clean and comfortable— backs up to a narrow road and an empty lot. Chavez has fought, fiercely at times, to keep the swath of land from becoming a mobile home park like the one she lives in.

Like other residents and some business owners along Airport Road,

she is concerned the area doesn’t receive enough resources and thoughtful consideration from the City Council.

Today, Airport’s 3-mile, four-lane artery slices between multiple trailer parks and apartment buildings, storage units, a mix of industrial businesses and a few scattered restaurants, as well as an outsized proportion of the city’s fast food joints and stretches of empty land. This is Santa Fe’s version of flyover country.

SFREPORTER.COM

Chavez, who was born and raised in Santa Fe, doesn’t think enough development decisions for Airport Road are being made by people who live there and fully understand the issues.

She says city officials are out of touch.

“I remember Airport Road when it was a dirt road,” Chavez tells SFR in her living room. “There was hardly any stores, any buildings. The city has really destroyed it.”

But District 3 Councilors Chris Rivera and Roman “Tiger” Abeyta tell SFR they want to update the Airport Road Overlay District, zoning rules the city first adopted in 2012 that dictate what types of businesses and dwellings can be built—and what can’t.

As Rivera and Abeyta consider changes, they contend with a push and pull between residents, business owners and city employees about what it means to improve access to food, entertainment and jobs in the area.

This conversation has deep roots.

ANNEXING IN THE SOUTHSIDE The tension has been present since the city first began annexing sections of the area in the 1990s. As homes and businesses became part of the city limits, many hoped for better services than they got when the Airport Road area was under Santa Fe County’s jurisdiction.

But some areas remain overlooked.

Miguel Acosta, executive director of EarthCare, a local nonprofit that operates on the Southside, says residents have faced inequality since long before he arrived 12 years ago.

“City councilors weren’t interested because it wasn’t the city,” Acosta tells SFR. “And the county, well, they had other issues more important. And they kept saying, ‘The city is going to annex it, they

should start giving it services.’ [Airport Road is] like one of those foster kids that nobody wanted. It just kept getting bounced around and ignored, basically.”

A mass annexation that resulted from a lawsuit around 2008 brought in the remaining checkerboard land around Airport Road. And in 2012, former District 3 Councilor Carmichael Dominguez began the conversation anew around equality for Airport Road when, with help from Rivera and the community, they designed the Airport Road Overlay District and held listening sessions.

The plan was meant to allow for the creation of a place that, despite widespread poverty and a plethora of empty land, would not become inundated with the typical trappings of low-income areas: fast food restaurants, liquor stores, unattractive architecture and a lack of green space.

While Dominguez is happy with some aspects of 2019’s Airport Road, he sees the gaps: a grocery store, more fitness centers and medical services, a wider variety of restaurants and places to socialize.

If bringing more amenities like that to Airport Road requires an overlay amendment, Dominguez is pleased that the city is taking the area more seriously.

“In the past it was difficult until we were able to annex that area and have a little bit more control over the future, the development of it,” Dominguez says.

Still, the inequality shows up in all aspects of life on the Southside, according to Dominguez.

“When we look at equity in our public schools, that has something to do with it as well, because public schools in other parts of the community are doing well,” Dominguez says. “It’s not that their teachers and students are working harder than any other teacher or any other student in the district. But they have quality of life services that don’t exist in the Southside, like museums, an abundance of nonprofit organizations providing everything from childcare to yoga.”

Dominguez hopes the district’s councilors will come up with an “equity formula” under which city officials funnel money back into the Southside at a rate that reflects how much its residents spend citywide. Dominguez says that while the

KATHERINE LEWIN

Helen Chavez lives in a mobile home park right off of Airport Road and hopes the city will help bring in more services for the area.

Southside has low-income areas, it is also the fastest-growing area with the most young families looking for a variety of services. He also wants to see more community-focused nonprofits in the area.

At this point, District 3 councilors do not have a plan for what changes they might encourage along Airport Road, but Rivera tells SFR one idea is to increase incentives for developers to buy and build there.

Abeyta, elected to the governing body in 2018, points to a proposal he saw about two years ago when he was on the city Planning Commission.

“There was a development that came forward and it was another storage unit proposal and we asked the question at the time, ‘Why are we only seeing storage unit proposals on Airport Road?’” he recalls.

“We were told by the representative of the developer that in the overlay district, this is really the only thing that fits, given … the rules and regulations. That raised a flag with me that maybe we need to take a look at that.”

end of town. Some kind of a little park or something like that. I’d love to see the city take an interest in doing that to acknowledge that part of our community.”

City staff affirm building on the empty lots has been moving slowly.

“I think that some of the zoning along Airport Road and the size of the lots may contribute to that,” says Noah Berke, planner manager for the city’s Land Use Department. “I think the cost of land is very expensive. The overlay itself, if you build abutting Airport Road, there’s a series of standards you have to meet, including landscaping, parking requirements ... architecture requirements, circulation requirements.”

Those requirements, combined with the lower rent ceiling on the Southside, could be scaring developers away from the area. Building on the Southside costs just as much as other places in the city, but landlords have to charge less to attract potential tenants.

Colin Keegan, owner of Santa Fe Spirits, a distillery set back off of Airport Road just east of NM 599, tells SFR he recently built an adjacent warehouse that came with an extra $35,000 cost for landscaping that meets the city’s requirements.

“It’s just as expensive down here to build because it’s in the city,” says Keegan. “The blanket statements that work on one side of town don’t necessarily work on the other. …

Here on Airport Road, I just think there needs to be a review of how we can help people grow. Maybe some of the same kind of attention given to that Midtown campus.”

Acosta, whose nonprofit EarthCare is surveying Southsiders to get input for the planned teen center next to Zona del Sol on Jaguar Drive south of Airport, tells SFR that so far the main asks for developing in the area are from young families, many of whom can’t afford to live even in the available affordable housing planned for Tierra Contenta’s third phase. “[There is a] need to have things here that can guarantee them some kind of quality-of-life future,” Acosta says.

“They’re looking for jobs. They’re looking for affordable, dignified housing, not projects. And they’re looking for entertainment.”

Acosta hopes a piece of empty land at the intersection of Airport Road and South Meadows Road, which is zoned

I remember Airport Road when it was a dirt road,” Chavez tells SFR in her living room. “There was hardly any stores, any buildings. The city has really destroyed it.

AIRPORT ROAD’S NEEDS Residents and business owners who live on and use Airport Road are not seeing many of the amenities and development that they want and need. And much of the land bordering the road remains vacant.

According to the Santa Fe County assessor’s online map, of the empty lots that are undeveloped bordering both sides of Airport Road, one is zoned commercial-industrial, six are residential and 22 lots are set for retail—comprising about 70 acres in total.

What is developed includes an overabundance of dollar stores, Allsup’s, strip-mall shopping centers and fast food restaurants—or mobile home parks—along with at least eight different self-storage businesses on or just off Airport Road.

Rick Berardinelli owns 4231 Airport Road, an empty 1.4-acre lot on which he hoped to build a chapel as an addition to his funeral service business. Instead, he’s

-Helen Chavez

had the land west of Lopez Lane on and off the market for 10 years—with almost no bites. He tells SFR that it’s zoned commercial but doesn’t allow any retail sales.

A median the city added at some point forces drivers to take a u-turn if they want to turn left to exit. Those are among reasons he says no one is interested in building on the property.

Since it’s not currently a desirable lot, Berardinelli considered talking to the city to see “if the city would be willing to trade that property with something I could do, something with commercial or sell it and use that lot as as city property that is basically like an entrance into the south

commercial, could become a source for fresh food as well as a gathering place for Southsiders.

While Acosta says the landowner talked to residents about placing apartments and a drive-thru restaurant there, the city Office of Economic Development says the realtor who owns the property is trying to get a Smith’s grocery store interested in the lot.

What else is happening on Airport Road?

The park next to the old Eberline facility will see no changes for now.

Santa Fe County purchased the 22 acres north and east of the former radiation detection equipment plant in 2001 under the Open Space and Trails Program. Since the surrounding land’s annexation, the county has not moved forward with the plans, and the property remains vacant.

The Santa Fe Regional Airport has a major expansion coming and many in the Southside community hope it will lead to new jobs for people living in the area. District 3 Councilor Roman “Tiger” Abeyta tells SFR he hopes “with the expansion of the airport that there would be some outreach to the community college and Capital High School, specifically for different jobs and training that’s related directly to airports.” The new entrance to the airport will also likely be moved to where Jaguar Road terminates at NM 599.

The third and final phase of Tierra Contenta is gearing up for construction. The coming housing units will be built on 227 acres with a possibility of 1,175 dwellings. Included in the plans are an elementary school (if the school district decides to build), trails, multiple green spaces, and room for a “smaller scale” version of Genoveva Chavez Community Center.

As Tierra Contenta plans its third expansion, residents worry the development will not positively impact Airport Road.

SFREPORTER.COM

AFFORDABLE FOR SOME Building in the Tierra Contenta neighborhood started in 1995 on 1,400 acres the city owned and turned over for housing.

“Because it’s a planned community, hopefully if there’s more housing that goes in that phase, that would relieve some of the pressure to put housing in those big vacant lots along Airport Road instead of commercial or community uses,” Acosta says.

While Tierra Contenta paved the way for important services like the Southside Library, the Santa Fe Business Incubator and more restaurants on the Southside, the development hasn’t connected with some of the lowest-income Santa Feans.

Housing has lagged behind.

So far, the project’s two phases have produced 2,691 dwellings. The longterm plan is for about 3,800 houses and apartments, 40% of which are required to be sold or rented as affordable housing.

It also hasn’t fully integrated with its neighbor, Airport Road.

Marie Longserre, president and CEO of the Santa Fe Business Incubator, which was started in 1997 as a city-funded project and part of Tierra Contenta’s master plan, hopes that Tierra Contenta and Airport Road will start to affect each other more.

“I hope that over time this community and this area, Airport Road, is not simply seen as a suburb with a few tech-

PLANNED OPPORTUNITY Another piece of the future puzzle is proximity to one of the five Federal Opportunity Zones in Santa Fe—a triangle-shaped space between Airport Road, Jaguar Drive and Cerrillos Road.

The zones are places identified by the feds in which private sector investors can park their money with certain incentives.

Developers build projects that are dedicated to improving blight and financial backers get tax breaks.

The city’s Office of Economic Development says it aims to get buy-in for the zones, yet there’s no clear plan. The office also acknowledges Airport Road’s needs and has begun outreach efforts.

Staff hosted a recent listening session with the mayor at Dona Clara’s restaurant with a Spanish translator as well as a workshop in Spanish at Zona del Sol to help Santa Feans with legal and financial questions about opening or running a business.

and-trades kind of businesses, but that it fully serves the needs of the community,” Longserre says. “It should be seen as holistically part of all of the broader community.”

But at a recent Tierra Contenta community meeting in the Southside Library, residents expressed concern that even the development’s so-called affordable housing units are not accessible to the lowest tier of earners in Santa Fe. Just under half of the homes in its first two phases and 63% of the apartments are labeled affordable. That’s why the number of affordable units in Phase 3 will be lower, since developers have already “overachieved” the 40% requirement, says Justin Robison, executive director of the Santa Fe Housing Trust.

Defining what’s technically “affordable” relies on calculations using the area median income identified by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, which considers a family’s joint income as well as the number of people in the household. That means the lowest earners in Santa Fe will not qualify for affordable housing to buy a home but may be able to qualify to rent an apartment—depending on if there are any available.

“We expect the most affordable three-bedroom home to cost approximately $230,000 in Phase 3 and the lowest possible rent for an efficiency apartment will be a little more that $360 month with utilities included,” Robison tells SFR via email. “Some people will not qualify for a mortgage at the most affordable price because their income is too low. “

Remember when Airport Road looked more like this aerial photo from 1983?

At bottom left is the intersection with Cerrillos Road.

Liz Camacho, who works to support entrepreneurship in the immigrant community for the office, says she thinks there’s an opportunity to create a “destination” with the corridor on Airport Road that has a cluster of Mexican restaurants.

“That’s not where we’re starting,” Camacho says. “That’s a long term goal.

But at the moment we’ve started by reaching out to see what the concerns are.”

Rich Brown, director of the Office of Economic Development, tells SFR he looks at the area as “an opportunity to address the food desert” by putting in another shopping center. The office is also looking at the market for “shovel-ready projects” such as a small parcel of land for which they will put out a request for housing proposals at the beginning of the year.

For now, Airport Road remains as it is—half-developed and still dotted with

both empty lots and hopeful businesses.

“There’s people out there,” says Dominguez, the former city councilor.

“They’re not just numbers and demographics. They’re real people who have feelings and have their struggles in life and enjoy life … earn an honest living. I don’t think that there’s just one formula to it. I think that if you come up with one formula or one idea that works today, in five years it might change.”

MIDTOWN MADNESS After SFUAD closed and rolled out of Midtown, one organization managed to stay and hold down the fort for the arts: The Santa Fe Art Institute, now in its 35th year, continues to offer artist residencies and support arts leadership in the community from the mostly-vacant 64-acre campus. This Thursday morning, the Design Corps of Santa Fe hosts a coffee sesh with SFAI Executive Director Jamie Blosser, who will discuss the organization’s involvement in the future development of the Midtown district. The ball is rolling—slowly—but only the involvement of community members and contemporary local artists (aka, YOU) can turn it into something that works for everyone. (CR)

Every Saturday, the Santa Fe Children’s Museum hosts the Train Club where kids and adults can be the conductors of the museum’s O Scale model trains. The club allows children to put their imaginations to work painting and conducting their own trains and worlds, and with help from the Santa Fe Model Railroad Club, which promotes events on the regular, they’ll probably learn a thing or two.

It should also prove artistic, so if you’re ready to go full speed ahead, just show up. The Children’s Museum also has snakes—just sayin’. All ages are welcome.

MUSIC SUN/24 SAINT MATTHEW Approximately one million years ago, while working in a restaurant, I approached local musician Matthew Andrae, a customer at the time, to say “Hey, aren’t you that music guy?”

A gigantic grin appeared across his face as he said “Ohmygod, yes! It’s so nice to meet you!”

And I never forgot it. Niceness aside, Andrae is a guitalele—half guitar, half ukulele—master, a honey-voiced vocalist and an impressive songwriter and covers curator all rolled into one.

Things get a little bit folky, a little bit indie-pop, a little bit island jammy and a whole lot pretty when Andrae does his thing and, as I say, his whole super-nice thing doesn’t hurt one bit.

Yes, But… Santa Fe improvisational acting school celebrates 10 years “Santa Fe Improv has been around since 2009, and it sort of stopped and started a few times,” Executive Director Kita Mehaffy tells SFR. “In January 2019 I started working to get 501c3 nonprofit status because I felt it was important to get the work out into the community.”

The nature of improvisational acting—often propless, costumeless, setless, and especially scriptless—might make you think that it’s inexpensive, or maybe even free to do. But to get good at improv, lots of practice with a good teacher is necessary, plus a venue to perform in, some way to get the word out, etc. SFI has been working hard at providing classes for adults and youth, but at the end of the day, creating a community requires resources.

This Saturday, the school hosts a fundraiser benefit to take steps towards not just financial stability, but expansion.

Mehaffy hopes to offer more scholarships for low-income and LGBTQ2IA+ students, and to partner with other local nonprofits to offer classes. The fundraiser includes a one-hour improv performance, refreshments and a raffle

for various prizes and gift certificates to local restaurants, including a dinner for four at Il Piatto. Raffle tickets are an additional $5 to the benefit ticket, but the potential returns are invaluable.

Besides gushing over the idea of a great dinner, Mehaffy also describes improv’s deeper value for our current times.

“Our basic tenets at Santa Fe Improv are listening, courage and teamwork. …

Given the discord in our country and the lack of truthfulness that is fairly apparent, it means we have to listen to each other and it means we have to have the courage to speak our truth and it means that we have to work in collaboration and community, and those are the things that improv has always been all about.”

The first rule of improv is to never say “no,” because it shuts down a scene’s creative possibilities. So let’s practice: Are you going to SFI’s benefit this weekend? (Cole Rehbein) IMPROV CELEBRATION 7–9 pm Saturday Nov. 23. $20.

Plaza buskers are under fire again— just like they were five years ago AEDRA BURKE

Seriously?

This Again?

Jason Youth says Plaza buskers get a bum rap.

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

“

obody really harasses us in front of this store,” says Jason Youth.

Youth is a busker and recent transplant to Santa Fe, and we’ve just met outside the Starbucks located a few steps from the Plaza, where we’re headed on a brisk October afternoon when a passerby interrupts us.

“Is that a GS Mini?” the man asks, pointing to the Taylor guitar strapped on the Youth’s back.

“It is! It is a GS Mini!” Youth responds excitedly.

The passerby turns to his friend and says “See, that was the exact guitar I was telling you about. I want to get one. How do you feel about it?”

Visit Us at 1330 Rufina Circle Mon.-Sat. 10-6 P: 505.231.7775

Youth smiles and engages in the small talk before he tells me a story about the time he “was playing in one of our designated spots, and a gallery owner came up to me to say ‘I hate you buskers. I’ve been in business for 15 years, and you’ve never done anything for anyone around here, you are all a nuisance. You should leave.’”

The juxtaposition of these moments is notable: one of genuine human connection, one of recounted vitriol. It would be easy to shrug off Youth’s older story as a one-time occurrence, but this isn’t exactly the first time this has happened to street performers in Santa Fe. As SFR reported way back in 2014, tensions between Plaza vendors and buskers came to a rather contentious head that resulted in numerous City Council meetings and an ordinance requiring licensure, volume and content restrictions and require-

ments that buskers change their location every two hours, among other restrictions. Back then, it was the cart vendors on the Plaza making waves; today, Youth says, brick and mortar businesses have chimed in as well.

“And it’s never the tourists that give us shit, it’s almost always the locals and the business owners,” he continues. “I’ve had … people tell me that I need to get a manicure. Just needlessly cruel.”

Following Youth’s comments, SFR reached out to a number of Plaza businesses. In most cases, employees didn’t wish to comment, but Sarah Worden of jewelry shop Charlotte says that while she feels buskers provide value and entertainment, she wishes some would expand their repertoires.

“Sometimes I have to hear the same song 15 times a day,” Worden tells SFR. “If you’re going to be in the same place for two hours, learn at least an hour worth of content.”

Karen Malouf of Malouf on the Plaza expresses her support as well, but opines that some of the buskers who use amplifiers prove a little too much. In the summer, she says, “sometimes I can’t hear the music in my store over the sound of their music.”

It could be easy to abstract this con-

flict to a difference of taste in music, or where and when music should be played, or how loudly. But for busking to remain a continued hot-button issue for so long, there has to be something in this tension that drives deeper than a proclamation of “I hate buskers.”

Santa Fe is known for its vibrant arts culture centered in not only canvas and sculpture, but also music. The busking ordinance even explicitly states that “street performers enhance the character of the city.” Yet, for some reason, we keep circling back to this turf war between buskers, vendors and locals.

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter why the issue keeps coming up—buskers have a legal right to perform on the Plaza.

They are regulated and can face fines if they don’t adhere to the city ordinance.

In addition to the yearly $35 licensing fee, performers can only make use of amplification between 1 and 3 pm. Further, most buskers will tell you they make very little money and perform simply for the love of it.

But even beyond the unquestionable legality or the limited capital gain, we live in a place that boasts the nickname “The City Different.” We are a community of eccentrics, outcasts and weirdos. Santa Fe hosts a slew of free music events during the summer at the Santa Fe Bandstand series plus any number of one-off events year-round, so why do the buskers draw so much ire? No, really, I’m asking.

We have collectively agreed that participation in music and art, either as creators or observers, not only enriches but defines our shared human experience, right? Right.

So, buskers? Play on. Bougie, rude business owners? Stop fucking harassing street performers and let them play.

“This is such an art-based city,” Youth says. “It claims to be for musicians and artists, yet here in the Plaza it feels like quite the opposite when you’re a musician.”

THE CALENDAR with Alice Loy

COURTESY CREATIVE STARTUPS

MIX Santa Fe—the force behind a series of popular social networking events and founding entity of local business incubator bizMIX—is no more. All we can say is RIP, MIX, we’ll miss you (and the feeling that things are happenin’ for this town’s younger and edgier crowd). In June, MIX lost the contract it’s held with the City of Santa Fe Economic Development Department for the last ten years to Creative Startups, another Santa Fe-based start-up accelerator.

That company launched 13 years ago to fill a niche for creative entrepreneurs who don’t fit the profile for most traditional tech-focused accelerator programs. Since then, the company has helped grow creative businesses all over the world, including Meow Wolf. We spoke with Creative Startups co-founder and CEO Alice Loy to learn more.

(Leah Cantor) What’s the advantage of focusing specifically on businesses in the creative sector?

We were born out of recognizing the need that creatives both in Santa Fe and beyond have in terms of growing their creative businesses. The creative economy is at the heart of who we are in Santa Fe and New Mexico, and there weren’t resources that were directly dedicated to creative entrepreneurs. In fact, when we started the program, we could not find any accelerator program anywhere that was specifically designed by and for creatives. But think about your own spending—how much do you spend now on film and music and interesting food and tourism and media? The growth in the creative economy in the US is around 4% to 5% annually, and yet the support system is still lagging.

ZOOMIES

Dog Daycare

and

Resort

What can we expect now that Creative Startups has partnered with the city?

Many of the opportunities for our entrepreneurs who are homegrown lie in connecting them to opportunities that lie outside of New Mexico, and we make those connections happen. This year we’re doing our pre-accelerator program in Santa Fe targeting food and food innovation businesses. So food sector businesses that are tackling big problems such as climate change, hunger, and that are using innovation, technology, new business models to tackle those problems and bring them forward.

Sounds very Santa Fe, but how does food fit into the greater ecosystem of creative entrepreneurship?

In many ways food constitutes who we are as a people. Of course in New Mexico it’s all about chile—it’s part of our heritage, it’s part of our culture, it reflects the landscape around us, and that cultural connection is creative. Most large food and agriculture systems have moved away from having an intimate connection to place and people and heritage, but communities and markets are wanting to see that connection rebuilt.

On the day we meet, Schlesinger is preparing to deinstall the show 30 Photographs by Danny Lyon, a Bernalillo photog with a penchant for motorcycle culture. In the back room, she’s pulled various pieces from One-of-a-Kind prior to install. My eye is immediately drawn to a series of silver gelatin contact prints

by Norman Mauskopf. I’ve primarily known Mauskopf as a lowrider shooter, but his images of rural New Mexico churches taken with a pinhole camera are unreal and, Schlesinger notes, he hasn’t really shown his work this way before. Somehow more exciting is a copper plate and matching photogravure

by Edward Sheriff Curtis from volume

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

I

owe Obscura Gallery’s Jennifer Schlesinger a big apology: I should have visited her space ages ago. But now that Schlesinger’s next group show dubbed One-of-a-Kind is set to open this week, it’s a great excuse to make up for lost time and to tout the photographically inclined gallery; Obscura, as it turns out, is astoundingly good.

Much of this is due to Schlesinger’s skillful curation. A native of Connecticut, she came to Santa Fe to attend the now-defunct College of Santa Fe (RIP) where she studied under photographer David Scheinbaum. After college, Schlesinger worked in the nonprofit sector at places like the Center for Contemporary Arts, but taking a job with (also sadly defunct) Verve Gallery 11 years back helped sharpen her skills further.

When Verve closed nearly three years ago, the long-gestating idea for Obscura was finally realized and, after a year and a half of working as a private dealer out of her home and online, Schlesinger and her boyfriend, the gallerist Brant Mackley, took up space in the old Goldleaf Framemakers building at Paseo de Peralta and Galisteo Street. They gutted the building and transformed it into the gorgeously appointed and brilliantly lit double-gallery it is today. Mackley’s antiquities and tribal pieces inhabit the front space and Schlesinger’s photos, plates and flat files take up several rooms deeper within. Sometimes exhibits overlap spiritually, but Schlesinger and Mackley mostly have their own Rural New Mexico churches by Norman Mauskopf. aethetics going on.

12 of his pictorial book series The North American Indian. The copper plate is as clean as I’ve ever seen and, according to Schlesinger, was found in a basement somewhere in Boston. Elsewhere, Caitlyn Soldan’s bizarre mordançage—a process that creates unexpected and artfully deteriorated images from silver gelatin prints immersed in chemical baths—wrests my attention. It’s a study of the Pedernal mesa, but looks strange and alien. Also, I’m told, large-scale prints of Namibian sand dunes

by Kurt Markus will be displayed alongside photographs by Robert Stivers, Neil Folberg, Joan Myers, Susan Burnstein and many more. All told, One-of-a-Kind boasts more than 25 other artists and roughly 45

pieces total. As the title suggests, each is the only one of its kind.

“I thought it would be fun to say you could only get this through Obscura,” Schlesinger says. “Only you will own this piece, one will never be made like it again, and that’s an interesting concept for photography, I think.”

Much of the work is rooted in 19th- and 20th-century photographic processes. By their very nature, such methods made it harder for photographers to print multiples or exact replicas of the same image.

Besides, many of the techniques went by the wayside unceremoniously.

“Photography rapidly accelerated from the time it was invented until now,” Schlesinger explains. “There were these processes that happened so quickly, and I think people are going back to those processes because they weren’t quite fully explored before the next thing came along.”

Of course, this is the present wherein digital methods ease processes, but, Schlesinger says, many of her artists use hybrid techniques that take advantage of both older ideas and digital tech. Still, One-of-aKind, has a decided throwback feel. Schlesinger says much of what she shows is just about what speaks to her. If indeed she’s selecting works based on gut feeling and emotional response, Obscura might be the most exciting photographic gallery in town right now— and that’s really saying something, as it stands alongside spaces like Edition One and Monroe Gallery.

For now, One-of-a-Kind, or at least the admittedly small selection I’ve seen thus far, is a strong contender for the best photo show this year.

So, mea culpa, Jennifer. I should have come sooner.

eanwhile, at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian (704 Camino Lejo, 982-4636), curator Denise Neil has knocked it out of the park with Laughter and Resilience: Humor in Native American Art, a group exhibit examining the lighter side of contemporary Native creators across a variety of topics and mediums.

Cut up into numerous sections such as “Whimsy” and “Satire+Parody,” the show displays lesser-known narratives and humor based in popular culture, history, iconic imagery such as the clown, coyote and trickster, and more. Neil’s curation deftly cuts a wide swath across tribal affiliations and artistic mediums from large-scale painting and animation to photography, illustration, basketry and found object sculpture—all while flipping the sad, tired notion of the humorless Native on its head.

“In the context of whatever I’m doing, I think if there’s any seriousness involved, it’s in redirecting the conversation from identifying Native art as having a singular perspective,” exhibitor and artist Heidi Brandow (Diné/Kanaka Maoli) says.

Brandow appears in the “Whimsy” section with her pop art monsters.

Anyone who’s been paying attention to contemporary Native art in Santa Fe should know Brandow by now; she otherwise shows exclusively at form&concept and created new pieces specifically for the Wheelwright show.

“That weird serious Native thing still sticks,” she continues, “and I’m sure it comes from the idea of people being oppressed.”

This is sort of the subtext of the show— the dismantling of a peak colonialist assumption that Native people must be humorless in the face of so much ongoing oppression. It’s not only racist, it’s simply not true, though certain pieces in the

show do align with the old axiom about how if you’re laughing, you’re probably not crying. Think of the humor as catharsis and as something all humans do, especially creators.

Elsewhere in the exhibit find cartoonist Ricardo Caté (Santo Domingo Pueblo) and illustrator Chad Browneagle (Shoshone Bannock/Spokane)—whose caricatures of notable living Native artists whose works are also in the exhibit, like Jason Garcia (Santa Clara Pueblo) and Cara Romero (Chemehuevi), are not only spot-on but quite funny.

Under the “Cartoons” header are gorgeous Mickey Mouse rings in silver and wood from Zuni Pueblo that, according to chief curator Andrea Hanley, are uncredited due to lawsuit threats from Disney in the ’60s and ’70s—the artists kept making them, they just stopped signing their work. In the same section are blankets featuring cartoon characters and some rather scathing political comic panels by Vincent Craig (Navajo).

America Meredith (Cherokee Nation) recalls her family being phone-tapped by the FBI, Steven J Yazzie (Navajo/Laguna Pueblo) riffs on an old friend and Tom Farris (Otoe-Missouria/Cherokee) retrofits a slot machine to parody Manifest Destiny, complete with reels bearing bison skulls, diseased blankets and whiskey bottles—“Subjugate 7 generations of Indigenous people & win big!” it reads on the machine—all while slyly reminding us about the casino industry as a big tribal money maker; Chaz John’s (Winnebago, Mississippi Band Choctaw and European) Rez Dogs series even has a presence.

It makes for a more modern and accessible idea from the Wheelwright than I expected, but a direction I hope they’ll continue to explore.

“You can see a lot of information that talks about how vital humor is to Native American tribes,” Hanley tells SFR. “Art historians look back at work that’s humorous as not as important as serious subject matter, but it can manifest itself in so many ways.”

Laughter and Resilience runs through Oct. 4, 2020.

Arable Chef Renee Fox isn’t messing around. One bite of the asparagus soup with buffalo bone marrow broth and spinach is enough to make you remember that for the rest of dinner. It was the soup of the night on our visit ($5), and we could have easily taken home a quart. Fox and her partner Dave Readyhough are holding it down with a single dining room and patio at the Agora shopping center in Eldorado now that they’ve sold Loyal Hound in the city. Arable has almost zero curb appeal, as it faces a mall courtyard rather than a curb—but it has all kinds of table appeal.

Our dinner included an order of what’s becoming the famous bison “poutine,” ($19.50) made with house-cut fries and a gravy of red wine and red chile, and recently featured in a cable TV food show. The BBQ chicken entree came with a side of coleslaw that we’re still thinking about—tangy and acidic from its combination of apples and citrus mixed with the starring cabbage ($17.50). Do you know what budino is? We’re huge fans of pudding, and yes, it’s what it sounds like, Italian for those sweet gooey puddles. Arable’s butterscotch budino is served in an unassuming glass jar for maximum scrapability ($6.50). Don’t let Guy Fieri enjoy this local food more than you do.

Vinaigrette Vinaigrette won big points earlier this year when owner Erin Wade announced she was doubling down on sustainability. This means parallel programs, dubbed the Compost Club and The Reusables, that incentivize composting and a reduction of singleuse to-go containers. Yes, there’s a $20 deposit, but diners can opt out anytime and, after 20 punches on the included punch card, a free item or two, depending on whether you’re eating in or out.

Meanwhile, Vinagrette maintains its commitment to fresh and delicious salads and sandwiches. We can never recommend the Omega ($12.25) enough, with its generous toppers of piñon and avocado mixing with kale, bell pepper, tomato and blue cheese vinaigrette dressing. But other salads like the Chop Chop ($12.50), a romaine, arugula and kale mix with cauliflower, tomato and chickpeas over salami and herb roasted chicken, impress as well. Don’t even get us started on the Cuban torta ($13.50)—a melt-inyour-mouth pork shoulder roasted with mustard plus green chile ham, onions, Swiss cheese and avocado— or the mushroom stew ($5-$8) and desserts like a flourless chocolate cake ($6.25) that stuns with a fudge-like goodness, or carrot cake ($6) that’s so delicious, you’ll rethink why you ever doubted it.

Cafe Castro Printed on coffee mugs, among little Spanish musings that read, “full belly—happy heart” and “a little green chile every day keeps you healthy,” Café Castro proclaims its mission: “Serving la gente of Santa Fe, Nuevo Mexico since 1990.” From a little spot on the bustling six-lane road, Julia and Carlos Castro serve some of the most rib-sticking traditional New Mexican food around at prices for the people. The dining room is clad in vigas and traditional art, alongside community events posters and local artists’ work. Of course, start off with chips and salsa ($3), queso ($5), guac ($6) or all three ($8.50); the queso comes with huge chunks of green chile begging to be scooped. Enchiladas ($8.50), the state dish, find themselves in their rightful position at the top of the menu, and because we went on a Wednesday, we were treated to the blue-corn variety ($8.50) served with a trifecta of beans, rice and posole. Find different traditional specials every day of the week, like fajitas (Tuesdays, $9.50), carne adovada (Thursdays, $8.50) and flautas (Sundays, $9.50). The green chile sauce includes more of those huge chunks and tastes super fresh, while the red is smoky, pungent and just spicy enough. The Castros provide a down-to-earth restaurant that’s far from the pretentious food scene but still provides top-notch service.

Far-Out

Revisited sponse to my fallen visage was, “Yeah, you ain’t in Santa Fe no more,” doing little to buoy the spirits of my sad little pizza-loving heart. And yes, she actually said that.

Luckily, on the way home from Madrid sits another pizza joint that one person, who posted six times about pizza on my Facebook feed, claimed to be “INCREDIBLE … I can honestly say it’s one of the best pies I’ve had in a LONG time … we’ve been there four times … and they have a beautiful, outdoor, dog-friendly patio!!!” And so I pulled into Beer Creek Brewing Co. (3810 NM-14, 471-9271).

Though it was too cold to sit outside with a pooch, the high walled patio was as nice as claimed, spacious and shaded by a large tree. Inside, it was cozy with a cabin-like vibe, and pretty much packed with locals, Sunday drivers and families.

The search continues for pizza worth pulling over for

while back I wrote about a couple of pizza places I happened upon while exploring outside Santa Fe. After that story (Far Out Pizza, May 7) was published, I got an earful of advice from local aficionados complaining that I had missed a few. I tried to explain it wasn’t that I “missed” other pizza joints or purposefully neglected them, it was just that I happened to drive by, and stop, at Nomad Mountain Pizza in Jemez Springs and Mamacita’s in Abiquiú.

So it was that pizza was on my mind as I recently steered my car into an open spot in front of the Mine Shaft Tavern in Madrid (2846 Hwy. 14, 473-0743).

Someone on Facebook had professed their love for the Shaft’s unique grilled pizza, so I figured while I was there, I should check it out. Knowing cell service is hit or miss in Madrid, I looked up the menu beforehand and found what I was looking for: a 10-inch grilled, handcrafted pizza in three varieties—pepperoni and green chile, Margherita, and Greek-style, with pesto, feta and pepperoncini.

The look on my face must have registered as something other than dejection when our server informed us they hadn’t served pizza for some time. As happens all-too-often in these parts, the restaurant information “out there” didn’t jive with what’s actually available in the restaurant (an unfortunate occurrence I have also written about before). The server’s re-

Despite the fact that the staff were recovering from the previous day’s first-annual Oktoberfest celebration, they were warm, welcoming and quickly had a Santa Fe Brewing Company Merky IPA ($4) in my hand. Beer Creek obviously brews its own small-batch beers, so what’s available changes frequently. One beer that’s more of a staple is the Coming Soon Pale Ale, so named, according to Beer Creek’s website, “because we had a ‘coming soon’ sign out in front of our brewery for such a long time while waiting for our licensing that locals started calling us the Coming Soon Brewery.”

Food-wise, Beer Creek offers a straightforward menu of salads, pizza, sandwiches and pasta. I caught the hungry eyes of my tablemates wandering to the meals of other customers, feasting

FOOD

on steaming ramekins of macaroni and cheese ($14) and overstuffed sandwiches. I overheard discussion of whether to order the Gold Mine ($13), a Hoagie roll loaded with ham, salami, pepperoni and provolone, or the Marcos ($13) a classic meatball sub drenched in mozzarella and marinara. But in the end, we were there for one reason: pizza.

Starting with the basics, Beer Creek’s dough is housemade, as are its pizza sauces which include marinara, Alfredo, olive oil and garlic or sweet basil pesto. My group chose two pizzas from the specialty menu and two build-your-own concoctions for the pickier of the bunch. They arrived fast and hot—as well as steamy, melty and smelling heavenly.

The Farmer (12-inch $16/16-inch $24) was a favorite—topped with a harvest of the usual veggies including mushrooms, black olives and green peppers—as was the San Margherita (12-inch $17/16-inch $25). Instead of the typical Margherita pizza, Beer Creek’s had something really interesting and creamy going on. At first I thought perhaps there was Alfredo sauce as a base but upon closer inspection attributed the creaminess to the fresh mozzarella. I am guessing there was also a layer of dry mozzarella because it was much cheesier than the more tomato-focused classic.

Crust-wise, I’m still a little torn. I liked the crunch of the cornmeal dusted crust but, unlike my favorite doughs, Beer Creek’s is more crumbly and bready than crispy and chewy. I tuned into the table debate and it seems we were equally split at 50% bready, 50% chewy, 100% crispy.

Overall, it’s quality pizza and beer. Plus, they serve in the restaurant what they say they do via their advertising.

The only trickery was in the name.

Excited to see more of this creek called Beer, I asked our server where it was. “Oh, there’s no actual Beer Creek,” he smiled.

“It’s just what would happen when we first started brewing beer–there’d usually be a creek of it running out the door.”

ust in time for the holidays, Last Christmas from director Paul Feig (that 2016 Ghostbusters reboot) provides a heartwarming story about a young woman named Kate (Emilia Clarke, the mother of dragons herself ) and her attempts to get her life together.

Kate spends her days working as an elf for “Santa” (Michelle Yeoh) in a yearround Christmas store and her nights either couch-surfing or auditioning for any acting or singing gigs she can find. Kate struggles to maintain an already strained relationship with her Yugoslavian immigrant family and any number of friendships, but after a life-saving heart transplant, she transforms from a bumbling but caring dork into a cold shell of a woman—and we haven’t even gotten to the the shoehorned romantic interest Tom (Crazy Rich

- TOO MUCH WHAM!

Asians star Henry Golding) and the big twist ending!

The twist does manage to be surprising, but the remainder of the film, particularly Clarke and Golding’s chemistry, falls flat. Feig’s vision becomes a good-enough movie for families to watch together, and there’s some kind of pseudo-valuable message about how we need to love ourselves before we can love others, but most of the cast’s heavy hitters—like Patty Lupone and Emma Thompson (who also wrote the script)—aren’t used effectively.

Still, holiday movies are going to come out every year, and Last Christmas is at least a little better than typical Hallmark schlock. You’ll get the feels, you’ll get the unpredictable conclusion—but Jesus, pump the breaks on the George Michael music!

+ STANDS UP TO THE KUBRICK VERSION AS A SEQUEL

- DUVALL LOOK-ALIKE FEELS CHEAP

Remakes, reprises and late-breaking sequels seldom captivate in contemporary cinema— especially when they’re trying to follow moviemaking greats. So, imagine our chagrin when, nearly 40 years later, the second chapter of The Shining turned out to be such a delightful little house for horror.

Doctor Sleep kept us awake and not even a little annoyed, which is no small accomplishment given the letdown that came with this year’s other Stephen King title.

This one was a crafty, well-paced and well-acted bit. Although the recreated scenes from weeks after the sour end of Jack Torrance at The Overlook Hotel include Danny’s childhood complete with a Shelley Duvall look-alike mom (Alex Essoe) and has us at first wondering if this would be a cheesy recap, we quickly join Dan (Ewan McGreggor) as he’s all grown up and still shining, sort of. What seems to be a disconnected set of stories soon weaves together into a frightening garment.

Director Mike Flanagan makes a righteous effort to stand up to Stanley Kubrick with his own screenplay based on King’s book, remind-

+ THE SMALL BUT CLEVER TWIST; BANDERAS

- HEAVY HANDED NOW AND THEN

hen it comes to a filmmaker like Pedro Almodóvar—a director who inserts bits and pieces of himself into practically everything he does—it can be hard to tell what’s real, what’s not and what might just be fantasy. In Pain & Glory, Almodóvar blurs the lines further, telling the story of a once-lauded writer/director named Salvador (Antonio Banderas) who, on the cusp of senior citizenship, starts to feel wistful and hopes to come to terms with the events of his life thus far.

Between chronic pain, depression and haunting memories of his past, Salvador has chosen to leave writing and filmmaking behind.

This comes with a sense of meaninglessness, but when a small theater asks him to present CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

his most famous work as part of a film festival, Salvador sets out to make peace with its lead Alberto (Asier Etxeandia), a man he hasn’t spoken with since the film premiered three decades earlier. Alberto introduces Salvador to heroin which, for a time, calms his pain and anxieties.

But when the pair collaborates once more on a one-man show based on Salvador’s cinematic awakening as a youth, old friends come calling and he is faced with a dilemma he can no longer ignore.

Banderas is a revelation, a calming and dimensional if scattered presence and a man who’s lived enough to know he wants to set right the missteps of his past. The performance is a masterclass in vulnerability and buried fears dredged up again, and it’s easily one of his best. But the real magic of Pain & Glory is in its disparate timelines. Are Salvador’s flashbacks really flashbacks, or are they a grand vision for something new? Call it a midlife crisis, call it a bout of crippling nostalgia—call it what you like, but Salvador’s own salvation comes in the form of acceptance that a new chapter always comes if we let it.

One often wonders if one’s best days are behind them, and while what we learn in Pain & Glory can’t possibly quell those fears, it does provide resounding hope. Almodóvar proves his skills for the umpteenth time while coaxing one of the year’s best performances out of Banderas.

The lesson is fuzzy, but there for those who look.

In a simple phrase? You ain’t seen nothing yet.

+ THRILLING BUILDUP; EXCITING

PERFORMANCES THROUGHOUT

- DISAPPOINTING PAYOFF

Is poverty inescapable? Are its symptoms self-wrought? Must the poor stoop to extreme measures just to get by, and do the wealthy have an ethical obligation to take notice and maybe do something about it? Filmmaker Bong Joon-ho (The Host) raises these and scads of other questions in his newest, Parasite, a semi-comedy, semi-dark parable examining the lengths to which one family will go to survive.

We follow Kim Ki-woo, (Choi Woo-shik), a college-aged youth who unwittingly scores a job tutoring English to the daughter of the wealthy Park family. Kim’s own family has slipped into a sort of default conman mode, and he must fake credentials in order to keep his position. Soon after, his sister (Park So-dam), mother (Jang Hye-jin) and father (Song Kang-ho, a regular Bong collaborator in films like The Host and Snowpiercer) have all

know!

Stay in the

for example, bullets grazing skin, or when the new Terminator (Gabriel Luna) takes multiple rockets to the face. However, the film left me wanting more dialogue, as it was heavy with explosions and physical altercations. It feels like there is so much more to be learned about the newly revamped franchise. The backgrounds of the newly introduced characters are incredibly shallow; cyborg Grace (Mackenzie Davis) is an enticing heroine, yet we learn very little about her features as a augmented human whose sole mission is to save the young Dani.

Cameron gets a gold star for trying to retcon the Terminator universe, but pulling from the first two incredibly iconic movies doesn’t have the same feel as it did in the ’80s. Then again, if never-ending action and a Terminator that doesn’t quit with a taste of Schwarzenegger nostalgia is your cup of tea, this movie is for you.

Violet Crown, Regal (both locations), R, 128 min.

Pain and Glory is Almodóvar at his best.

JOJO RABBIT weaseled their way into various jobs for the Parks, and life seems doable for possibly the first time ever. But when a former employee returns in search of something she left behind, the comfy jobs transform into a hellscape, wrenching security from the Kim family and spiraling everything out of control.

Bong’s eye is, as always, masterful, from the more overt symbolism based in modern-day classism to the subtler moments and examinations of insanity, even if it’s temporary. Each character proves a powerhouse on their own, but the ensemble dynamic of the Kim family feels so natural and comfortable that we find reasons to empathize even when they’re at their worst. Song in particular carries the film in the background with a commanding performance as a desperate father pushed to his very limits. Elsewhere, the Park family’s innocent yet irritating cluelessness starts to make us wonder if vilifying the rich always makes sense— they’re not bad people, they’re just blissfully ignorant of the goings-on in their own home.

Parasite morphs so suddenly and jarringly that it becomes a breathless dash to the finish line. Bong brings us to the brink of unforgivable, but keeps us grounded the entire time. Pity, then, that it begins to lag once the major conflict kicks in. The final 30 minutes, which could have reveled in sheer chaos and nearly do, feel more like a sudden drop in pacing than they do a satisfying conclusion. It isn’t even that satisfaction is mandatory, rather that Parasite‘s ending feels more like a tacked on series of events. The journey to get there is riveting, but it surely seems like Bong felt he

needed to hedge his bets in an otherwise fantastic tale. (ADV)

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE

+ SWEET DETAILED FIGHT SCENES - LITTLE DIALOGUE; CONFUSING TIMELINES

Skynet is back—actually, they were stopped, but now a new self-aware AI, Legion, seeks to destroy the new John Conner, a very confused but resilient Mexican protagonist, Daniella “Dani” Ramos (Natalia Reyes).

The film stays with the normal formula the Terminator franchise knows: a shit-load of action.

So much action, they literally throw the audience into a 45-minute battle scene at the beginning.

Exhilarating, yet exhausting.

Terminator: Dark Fate tries to continue the first two films’ timeline, beginning in 1988 where/when Sara Conner (Linda Hamilton) fails to stop the iconic T-1000 terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from murdering the young CGI animated John Conner (1990s-era Edward Furlong).

This scene alone shifts the entire Terminator storyline, deeming the last three films and the short-lived TV series irrelevant, or, as producer James Cameron has described in interviews, alternate timelines.

Director Tim Miller (Deadpool) crafts well-designed fight scenes that provide a very precise attention to detail when coming to,

+ SMART AND FUNNY; HEARTBREAKING AND MAGICAL

- A LITTLE TOO WES ANDERSON-Y

Filmmaker Taika Waititi (What We Do in the Shadows) is rapidly becoming one of our generation’s most important auteurs, and he’s just earned a spot in the pantheon of semihumorous war films like Life is Beautiful or King of Hearts with his uproarious, uplifting and very funny Jojo Rabbit based on the Christine Leunens novel Caged Skies.

We follow Jojo (newcomer Roman Griffin Davis), a 10-year-old Nazi growing up in the fading days of World War II Germany. Jojo’s a bit of a fanatic, a patriot to a terrifying degree with a penchant for his country’s military and Adolf Hitler for an imaginary friend (Waititi plays Hitler in addition to directing and screenwriting duties). But when Jojo discovers a young Jewish woman named Else (Thomasin McKenzie) hidden in his home by his mother (Scarlett Johansson), he’s shaken to his core and begins to question the very fabric of his beliefs and being.

The kudos are almost too numerous to hand out, from Waititi’s brilliantly sardonic and darkly hysterical take on Hitler to a trio of bumbling Nazi officers played by Rebel Wilson, Sam Rockwell and Alfie Allen, a startlingly nuanced Johansson (who can hopefully lose the transphobic behavior someday soon), to Stephen Merchant’s deeply disturbing turn as an imposing but painfully polite SS officer. But it’s young Davis’ performance as the sensitive and evolving Jojo that steals the film. Certainly Waititi’s direction had a little something to

Parasite: Who among us hasn’t climbed onto a platform toilet in search of better cell service? do with it, but for a kid actor in a first outing, Davis absolutely nails comedic timing, heartbreaking revelations and even the subtleties of self-doubt and sexual awakening. It may be the most fully-formed and memorable youth performance since To Kill a Mockingbird, which is especially fascinating in that he’s a literal Nazi.

But, like all of Waititi’s work, there’s an absurdism bubbling beneath the surface of the more overt messaging. He’s a master at pulling an audience into the awkward and keeping us there, questioning. It isn’t always easy but, like Jojo, we need to face it if we’re to gain a better understanding. If nothing else, Jojo Rabbit isn’t anything like you assume—it’s far better.

THE LIGHTHOUSE

10

+ SHEER ART AND HORROR; DAFOE AND PATTINSON; EVERYTHING

- YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN

I don’t believe I’ve used the word masterpiece when reviewing a film, but when it comes to The Lighthouse, director Robert Eggers’ stunning new tale of madness and violence told against the sweeping backdrop of some remote and nondescript island off the coast of New England, it fits.

It begins like a dream: Suddenly and without warning, lighthouse keepers Ephraim and Thomas are on a rock in the middle of the sea, tasked with keeping a lighthouse running and utterly, painfully, terrifyingly alone. Thomas (a jaw-droppingly brilliant Willem Dafoe) has been here before, or perhaps he’s never left; other partners, he says, were driven to madness. The solitude has crept in for Thomas, as well, leaving him a callous and particular sort of man.

The younger Ephraim (Robert Pattinson, who is so very good let it lay any Twilight jokes to rest), however, is wide-eyed and seemingly innocent, unprepared for the commitment he’s made. He’s new to the job and the demands of the sea; a man looking for a fresh start and running from something dark in his past. Whatever their circumstances before now, cabin fever sets in. Hallucinations take over and any hope for relief, or maybe escape, is soon lost. The longer they toil, the darker their conditions become.

Like in Eggers’ previous works (The VVitch, for example), he proves a master of atmosphere and building tensions. Self-inflicted horrors creep up from the shadows and are made unbearable as Ephraim’s behaviors start to mimic those of Thomas’ previous partner, or so we’re told. The omnipresent cacophony of the rotating light’s machinery drones on in

the background and becomes the one thing grounding us to what we believe is reality. Or sanity. But then, maybe it isn’t—maybe it’s a low-level form of hypnotism driving us mad, too.

The pair becomes intimate during drunken nights and sets out to torture one another during the labor-intensive days. Why is Ephraim there, anyway? Why won’t Thomas let him tend to the massive bulb at the top of the lighthouse? It’s downright Lovecraftian in its building of the unknown; it’s downright mythic in its jumps and scares, right down to Dafoe’s artfully delivered poetic and threatening rants.

Is it better not to know ? Are we punished for our obsessions? Would we even know if we’d lost our minds? Eggers presents these questions, leaving room for interpretation, but never irritatingly; rather, he brings us to the brink of madness alongside his characters, then sends them hurtling headlong into the abyss.

We have no choice but to watch, powerlessly.

Answers might not come, but they’re not really needed. It’s about the journey, and from every conceivable filmmaking angle, it is brilliant and shocking and disturbing to the very core. Shot in crisp and foreboding black and white, The Lighthouse is as powerful as cinema gets, an absolute must for anyone brave enough to come face to face with its madness. (ADV)

Week of November 20th

ARIES (March 21-April 19): “Beware of what disturbs the heart,” said Ibn Mas’ud, a companion of the prophet Mohammed. “If something unsettles your heart, then abandon it.” My wise Aries friend Artemisia has a different perspective. She advises, “Pay close attention to what disturbs the heart. Whatever has the power to unsettle your heart will show you a key lesson you must learn, a crucial task you’d be smart to undertake.” Here’s my synthesis of Ibn Mas’ud and Artemisia: Do your very best to fix the problem revealed by your unsettled heart. Learn all you can in the process. Then, even if the fix isn’t totally perfect, move on. Graduate from the problem for good.

are usually beneath your conscious awareness. You have a mandate to reacquaint yourself with where you came from and how you got to where you are now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): It’s natural and healthy to feel both the longing to connect and the longing to be independent. Each of those urges deserves an honored place in your heart. But you may sometimes experience them as being contradictory; their opposing pulls may rouse tension. I bring this to your attention because I suspect that the coming weeks will be a test of your ability to not just abide in this tension, but to learn from and thrive on it. For inspiration, read these words by Jeanette Winterson. “What should I do about the wild heart that wants to be free and the TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus social critic tame heart that wants to come home? I want to be Bertrand Russell won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1950. He’s regarded as the founder of analytic philoso- held. I don’t want you to come too close.

But he went through a rough patch in 1940.

Among its most treasured The lawsuit that banned him from the job described him as being “libidinous, lustful, aphrodisiac, and irrev- thirteenth-century artworks is The Madonna and erent.” Why? Simply because of his liberated opinions Child in Majesty Surrounded by Angels, a huge painting by Italian painter Cimabue. When a museum about sexuality, which he had conscientiously articurepresentative first acquired it in the nineteenth lated in his book Marriage and Morals. In our modern century, its price was five francs, or less than a dolera, we’re more likely to welcome libidinous, lustful, lar. I urge you to be on the lookout for bargains like aphrodisiac, and irreverent ideas if they’re expressed that in the coming weeks. Something that could be respectfully, as Russell did. With that as a subtext, I invite you to update and deepen your relationship with valuable in the future may be undervalued now. your own sexuality in the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In her poem “What the Light Teaches,” Anne Michaels describes herself arriving at a lover’s house soaked with rain, “dripping with new memory.” She’s ready for “one past to grow out of another.” In other words, she’s eager to leave behind the story that she and her lover have lived together up until now—and begin a new story. A similar blessing will be available for you in the coming weeks, Gemini: a chance for you and an intimate partner or close ally to launch a new chapter of your history together.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Some scientists deride astrology despite being ignorant about it. For example, they complain, “The miniscule gravitational forces beaming from the planets can’t possibly have any effect on our personal lives.” But the truth is that most astrologers don’t believe the planets exert influence on us with gravity or any other invisible force.

Instead, we analyze planetary movements as evidence of a hidden order in the universe. It’s comparable to the way weather forecasters use a barometer to read atmospheric pressure but know that barometers don’t cause changes in atmospheric pressure. I hope this inspires you, Cancerian, as you develop constructive critiques of situations in your own sphere. Don’t rely on naive assumption and unwarranted biases. Make sure you have the correct facts before you proceed. If you do, you could generate remarkable transformations in the coming weeks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you glide into the Season of Love, I’d love you to soak up wise counsel from the author bell hooks. (She doesn’t capitalize her name.)

“Many people want love to function like a drug, giving them an immediate and sustained high,” she cautions.

“They want to do nothing, just passively receive the good feeling.” I trust you won’t do that, Leo. Here’s more from hooks: “Dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love—which is to transform us.”

Are you ready to be transformed by love, Leo?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sagittarian performance artist Marina Abramović observes that Muhammad, Buddha, Jesus, and Moses “all went to the desert as nobodies and came back as somebodies.”

She herself spent a year in Australia’s Great Sandy Desert near Lake Disappointment, leading her to exclaim that the desert is “the most incredible place, because there is nothing there except yourself, and yourself is a big deal.” From what I can tell, Sagittarius, you’re just returning from your own metaphorical version of the desert, which is very good news. Welcome back! I can’t wait to see what marvels you spawn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Upcoming events may bedevil your mind. They may mess with your certainties and agitate your self-doubts. But if you want my view about those possibilities, they’re cause for celebration. According to my analysis of the astrological indicators, you will benefit from having your mind bedeviled and your certainties messed with and your self-doubts agitated. You may ultimately even thrive and exult and glow like a miniature sun. Why? Because you need life to gently but firmly kick your ass in just the right way so you’ll become alert to opportunities you have been ignoring or blind to.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Every writer I’ve ever known says that a key practice to becoming a good writer is to read a lot of books. So what are we to make of the fact that one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated novelists didn’t hew to that principle? In 1936, three years before the publication of his last book, Aquarianborn James Joyce confessed that he had “not read a novel in any language for many years.” Here’s my take on the subject: More than any other sign of the zodiac, you Aquarians have the potential to succeed despite not playing by conventional rules. And I suspect your power to do that is even greater than usual these days.
