NEWS, SEPTEMBER 14: “SECEDE FROM SANTA FE!”

LET US GO Commissioner Henry Roybal’s comments ... regarding the annexation effort by Santa Fe County residents living within the city of Española suggest that Rio Arriba’s lawsuit filed against Santa Fe County “could jeopardize future collaboration between the two counties.” … For years, Santa Fe County has collected property and gross receipts taxes from residents and businesses in Española without representation. In return, Santa Fe County has cut off minimal support funds to the City of Española. ... Santa Fe County has failed to make any major investments in their portion of the city, which is evidenced by businesses moving north into Rio Arriba County. [The Santa Fe County portion] of Riverside Drive, in the heart of Española, is in decay. … It’s difficult to jeopardize collaborations when none have ever existed.

I know that Roybal has made no effort to contact our citizens group regarding our annexation petition. Seven hundred and twenty of his constituents want to secede from his district and he hasn’t asked why, or what our concerns are. I, personally, am not surprised. Mr. Roybal was absent from the only meeting our group had with Santa

Fe County officials. … On such an important issue concerning his district, Mr. Roybal did not bother to attend.

Ninety-five percent of Santa Fe County residents who signed the annexation petition didn’t know the name of their District 4 Commissioner. … I personally have lived in Española since 2004 and have not seen or heard from Mr. Roybal or any of his predecessors. Does this feel or look like an inclusive government, one whose constituents trust will do right by them? … All we want is for Santa Fe County to give our Santa Fe County residents living in Española the opportunity to be a part of the great city of Española, the heart of Rio Arriba County, which is our natural home, by approving our petition … and schedule the special election to let the citizens decide.

POJOAQUE HIT IN COURT

A US District Court judge has ruled that it was legal for the state of New Mexico to tell vendors they couldn’t contract with Pojoaque Pueblo, which remains embroiled in a gaming compact dispute with the governor’s office.

Energy in Native America Tribes offer differing views on the desired level of government oversight

BY ELIZABETH MILLER elizabeth@sfrepor ter.com

D

ueling perspectives on energy development on tribal lands emerged at a US House of Representatives Natural Resources Committee field hearing on Tuesday morning in Santa Fe, when a panel of expert witnesses from tribes convened by the committee, chaired by US Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah), was repeatedly interrupted by protesters. New Mexican Native Americans fought to have their views represented as well.

“This hearing did not address the citizens. It addressed the corporations,” said Daniel Tso. He was joined at the front of the room by Kena Chavez-Hinojos, from the Hopi and Cochiti Pueblo and VOICES program manager for Tewa Women United, and Jessica Montoya with New Energy Economy. Holding a banner that read “No more extraction. Honor Native lands,” Chavez-Hinojos broke down in tears, pleading for some consideration for the damage tribes have already suffered and the risks energy extraction continues to pose to their health and the environment.

The message delivered by the invited guests to the two members of the committee who attended the meeting, however, can be summarized as: Let the federal government get out of our way. The expert witness panel representing tribes from Colorado, Alaska and Washington spoke to a need for tribes to control permitting oil and gas development and logging on tribal lands so those activities can be expedited and their profits maximized.

The Department of Interior holds

56 million acres in trust for Native American tribes, and in Alaska, 44 million acres are held by Alaska Native Corporations (the Alaskan equivalent of tribes). According to the hearing memo prepared by the majority committee staff (the Republican side of the Committee on Natural Resources), in fiscal year 2015, more than $829 million in royalties was disbursed to Native American tribes, the bulk of which comes from oil, natural gas and coal.

But federal regulations and poor management have led to “missed opportunities” and “lost revenue” for tribes.

“The tribe respectfully suggests that, in some instances, the best way for the United States to uphold its trust responsibilities would be to step aside,” said James “Mike” Olguin, member of the Southern Ute Indian tribe in Colorado, which has crafted its own processes for streamlining permit approvals to ease oil and gas development.

The feds don’t have the data, resources, technological capabilities or staffing to meet the needs of the tribe, he argued, but the tribe does. He pointed to how the tribe has transformed revenue from oil and gas development on tribal land, and through subsidiary energy companies they operate in 10 states and the Gulf of Mexico, into health insurance and college tuition for all tribal members.

That may be true, Tso said in his comments after the hearing concluded, but tribes are all run differently, and some do not have the expertise to offer the needed level of oversight to oil and gas development.

“Rep. Bishop’s attempt to red-wash fracking for his beloved special oil interests fell flat on its face,” says Rebecca Sobel, climate and energy senior campaigner with WildEarth Guardians.

“The people who live in these communities know they are getting all the pollution and other fracking problems and Bishop’s campaign contributors are getting all the cash.”

Sobel says she’d tried to secure space for local tribes on the panel, and was denied.

“This is nothing more than an industry dog and pony show,” she says.

Committee staff say these hearings are a time for expert testimony, not public input.

House Minority Leader Brian Egolf holds a press conference before the start of the special session.

A Tale of Two Chambers The Legislature’s special session drags on amid partisan squabbling

BY STEV E N H SI E H steven@ s fre p o r te r.co m

I

n this week’s cover story, SFR invites readers to discover an ongoing resurgence of theater taking place in our community. But you’ve already paid admittance to another sort of performance.

At an estimated cost of $50,000 a day, our legislators continue acting out a political drama with dire stakes: a special session to address the solvency of New Mexico. Staged at the Roundhouse, this spectacle in the art of sausage-making unfolded over the weekend and continues to build this week. An end date is anybody’s guess.

When Gov. Susana Martinez first floated the idea of a special session to fill New Mexico’s $600 million budget gap for last year’s deficit and the expected shortfall in the current fiscal year, she envisioned a four-hour fix. “We walk in and walk out,” she suggested in July.

But the governor then pushed a rash of crime bills onto the agenda late last month, including a proposal to bring back the death penalty, all but ensuring the prospect of a quick session would evaporate into the realm of fantasy. On Wednesday, Sept. 28, the Martinez administration quietly fed the governor’s agenda to select news outlets (not this one) before officially proclaiming the special session around dinnertime the next day.

Democrats immediately accused the Fourth Floor of using the session to play electoral politics for the upcoming November contests. (A recent Albuquerque Journal poll shows that 65 percent of New Mexicans support reinstating capital punishment.) “The radio ads are on the air. The postcards are in the printer. We know what they’re going to say,” Rep. Antonio “Moe”

Maestas (D-Albuquerque) would later proclaim.

At least one Republican, Sen. Lee Cotter of Las Cruces, already mailed out ads (flagged by New Mexico In-Depth) hitting his opponent for not believing “people that murder our brave police officers and innocent children in cold blood deserve the death penalty.”

As the clock ticked past midnight Friday evening, 12 hours into the session, our state’s lawmaking bodies appeared to be legislating in different universes.

The Democrat-controlled Senate shuffled between its high-ceilinged chamber and a committee meeting room on the third floor, pumping out solvency bills with orchestrated gusto. Cuts to capital outlay projects easily passed. Another round of across-the-board cuts, from environment to education, received unanimous yes votes. Only a proposal to delay a scheduled corporate income tax reduction faced significant contention, passing narrowly on the party line. All in all, the Senate passed 11 bills aimed at reducing deficit.

And then they voted to adjourn.

“I’m going home,” said Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez (D-Belen) to reporters as his colleagues poured out of the chamber. “I’m knocking on doors tomorrow.”

Senate Democrats touted their half-day budget fix as an achievement in efficiency and teamwork. “Both parties in Senate worked together to solve the crisis,” reads a tweet from their official account.

The Martinez administration quickly hit back.

“Don’t let toughening our crime laws get in the way of a good party,” tweeted Joseph Cueto, a communications staffer for Martinez, spotlighting a Facebook post from Sanchez telling his supporters that a scheduled campaign event would go on as planned.

As Senators headed home for a few days, members of the Republican-majority House, holding a Judiciary Committee hearing in a nearly empty chamber next door, had more macabre concerns.

“Maybe you should have chosen firing squad? Or public hanging?” asked Rep. Brian Egolf, the House Minority Leader from Santa Fe, noting a nationwide shortage of lethal injection drugs used to paralyze, anesthetize and, ultimately, kill convicted felons sentenced to the ultimate punishment. His questions over execution methods fit in a long list showing that bill sponsor Rep. Monica Youngblood (R-Albuquerque) didn’t do her homework. How should a court ex-

amine a condemned woman who is potentially pregnant to determine whether, in fact, she is pregnant?

What safeguards should the state put in place to ensure it doesn’t execute innocent people?

Youngblood had been standing in the committee spotlight for nearly four hours, making her case to reinstate capital punishment for people convicted of murdering children, police officers and corrections workers. A couple hours before Egolf’s line of questioning, a line of supporters, from law enforcement to the families of violent crime victims, made impassioned pleas to the committee. Religious leaders, criminal defense attorneys and an advocate for the disabled made known their objections against the bill.

That was day one. Now, six days into a session marred by partisan bickering, our legislators have made a small dent on the “worst budget crisis in New Mexico history,” as House Speaker Don Tripp (R-Socorro) put it. The House passed three Senate budget bills, totaling $107 million in cash transferred to state coffers.

But the Legislature still has its work cut out. Heftier bills, like a transfer of $219 million from a pool of settlement dollars that came from Big Tobacco to help cover deficits in both the last and current fiscal years, heads back to the Senate after the House Finance Committee added a minor amendment. A proposal to cut agency funds, totaling $174.6 million, seems poised for heated debate after House Republicans on Monday morning trotted out their own budget plan that takes more out of higher education and less out of corrections, public safety and the Children, Families and Youth Department.

Another debate began to brew this week over taxes.

House Republicans killed a proposal by Democrats to delay planned corporate income tax reductions for two years. But they did put forward a bill that would delay a film industry incentive for one year. (“Have you seen Hell or High Water? Go see it,” exclaimed Rep. Bill McCamley (D-Mesilla Park) in his defense of the industry.)

The House of Representatives recessed on Monday and is scheduled to convene again on Wednesday, Oct. 5. Due to a procedural rule that requires one legislative body to return if the other meets for three days (not including Sunday), the Senate is expected to convene again by Thursday, Oct. 6.

We needed the intermission.

Research shows Latinos face disproportionate health burden from oil and gas pollution

BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab eth @ s fre p o r te r.co m

L

atino communities face an elevated risk of cancer and an increased burden from childhood asthma attacks and lost school days attributed to some of the 9 million tons of methane and toxic pollutants emitted from oil and gas wells each year, according to a new report.

Research compiled by the Clean Air Task Force, the League of United Latin American Citizens and the National Hispanic Medical Association found more than 1.81 million Latinos live within half a mile of an oil and gas well, putting them at increased risk for cancer. Relatively low rates of health insurance coverage also mean that Latino children have less access to preventive care and as a result are more likely to miss school or visit an emergency room due to an asthma attack.

New Mexico has the highest population of Latino residents of the nation’s top 10 oil and gas states. An estimated 45,592 Latinos, or about 5 percent of the state’s Latino population, live within a half-mile radius of a well here.

“This report is the scientific version of the lived experience every day of New Mexicans—we are disproportionately impacted by air pollution every day in our communities,” says Christopher Ramirez, director of Juntos, a Latino-targeted program from

Conservation Voters New Mexico Education Fund.

Behind the numbers are the stories of individual communities—places like Albuquerque’s predominantly Latino South Valley, which has the city’s worst air quality, and San Juan County, which the American Lung Association gave an F for air quality, where many Latino families live in a trailer park next to a generating station.

In a survey of Latino families in Albuquerque, air pollution and contamination overwhelmingly took the lead as the number one concern for environmental issues. Half of the Latino families said they knew at least one person with asthma or respiratory problems, and 12 percent reported knowing at least 10 people in that category.

“If we continue to focus on oil and gas as industries in our communities, the health impacts are going to continue to be great, and especially disproportionately affect Latino families,” Ramirez says.

“If you are a person of color and person in poverty, you’re more than likely going to be exposed to methane pollution or some other type of air contaminant—which we have seen, because of this report, is linked to specific ailments like asthma and cancer,” says Luis Torres, director of policy and legislation for the League of United Latin American Citizens. “For us, from a civil rights perspective, the question really is: Is there a role for the community to play in pushing back on where these plants are placed and who gets to make those decisions, given that many times our community bears a disproportionate impact?”

In New Mexico, the Latino population comprises 46 percent of the total population and 32 percent of the population lives within half a mile of a well—so they’re disproportionately low in that aspect. In Ohio, a state with a 3 percent Latino population, the areas within half a mile of oil and gas wells are 22 percent Latino, and in Kansas, with an 11 percent Latino population, that radius is 37 percent Latino.

But volatile organic compounds released from oil and gas facilities at the northwestern and southeastern corners of New Mexico have been traced to increasing ozone in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Las Vegas, according to the Clean Air Task Force. That agency also documented 3,286 asthma attacks just in those three metropolitan areas that they say are linked to ozone increased by oil and gas pollution.

“We can’t say exactly, ‘This asthma attack was caused by pollution from this region.’ We do know that air pollutants, the volatile organic compounds, nitrous oxide—those are emitted, and they’ll react in the atmosphere to form ozone,” says Lesley Fleischman, technical analyst with the Clean Air Task Force.

Sometimes those pollutants can stay in and move through the atmosphere for hundreds of miles before a chemical reaction converts them to ozone.

“The pollutants are clearly traveling and having an impact,” she says.

Santa Fe County is generally known for its remarkably clean air, having received A’s for air quality from the American Lung Association—until 2016, that is.

This year it scored a B. The Clean Air Task Force research counted 461 asthma attacks and 337 lost school days for Latino children just in this county.

The report also studied counties that exceed the US Enivornmental Protection Agency’s threshold for cancer risk from oil and gas pollution and are therefore at highest risk, and found 89,000 Latinos in New Mexico in those counties.

“Even when they face the exact same risk, they face a higher burden in most cases,” Fleischman adds.

“These are health impacts from oil and gas pollution that’s happening today, all over the country, and they’re from facilities that are currently in operation.”

Emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas that’s 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds from existing oil and gas facilities is largely unregulated.

“There are no regulations that require them to control these emissions, and we think that’s really important because it has a direct impact on communities all over the country,” she says. “So we wanted to highlight the direct impacts and call for federal regulations to limit the impacts and reduce the emissions.”

In New Mexico and Texas (where 832,387 Latinos live within half a mile of oil and gas development), state administrations are actively fighting efforts to curtail these well emissions.

“That is why the EPA really needs to regulate existing sources of methane pollution, to protect these populations, because the states aren’t doing it, and industry sure isn’t doing it,” says Alan Septoff, strategic communications director for Earthworks, a nonprofit that focuses on mineral extraction and energy development. The industry did work with the state of Colorado to craft regulations that Septoff says should serve as a nationwide model—though pending regulations in California would be even stiffer.

“This is not a choice between oil and gas development and health. It’s just making the oil and gas industry do what it has promised it would do and hasn’t,” he says. “They’ve said for years, ‘You don’t have to make us do this. We’ll do it anyway. It’s in our financial interest to do it,’ and that’s all true, but they haven’t done it. … With these regulations, it’s not a choice between one or the other. It helps everybody.”

Santa Fe’s theater scene is poised to make a comeback

BY ALEX DE VORE alex@s frepor ter.com

…and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances.

Local theater itself has not been entirely different, with venues and companies coming and going over the years. It’s not that we’ve gone without the stuff here in Santa Fe, but if we compare the current landscape of venues and productions, actors and directors, writers and administrators to even a few years ago, it’s obvious we’re on the cusp of something big; we just need to reach out and grasp it.

“It seems like it ebbs and flows to me,” Santa Fe Playhouse artistic director Vaughn Irving says. “It sounds a little negative, but once every couple decades, somebody comes to town and tries to turn Santa Fe into a theater town. And eventually the enthusiasm wanes away, but Santa Fe should be a theater town! With all the fine arts going on, we should have room for some world-class theater.”

Irving, who has worked for the Playhouse for just about a year and grew up in Santa Fe, received a bachelor of fine arts in musical theater from Illinois Wesleyan University followed by a teaching stint at the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts in Washington DC. And then he returned

home. “I’m basically in charge of the artistic vision of the Playhouse,” Irving continues, “and I direct quite a bit, produce, work with actors or give the directors notes if need be. What’s cool is that they brought me in and theater manager Jenny Lewis and technical manager Michael Oldham, and we’re all under 35.”

Unsurprisingly, newcomers like this are proving vital to the future of local theater. Fact is, there was a time when one could attend performances in virtually every Santa Fe neighborhood and every artistic milieu. Access was plentiful to experimental curiosities from Theater Grottesco, shoestring productions at Theaterwork, classic musicals at Santa Fe Performing Arts and largescale performances of the Bard from Shakespeare in Santa Fe at St. John’s College. But any number of professionals in town will tell you, they then saw dwindling audiences and less-than-stellar interest from the community. While it’s certainly true that old standbys like children’s theater at the James A Little or community-led productions at Warehouse 21 never stopped chugging along, the overall theatrical scene in Santa Fe is poised to make a significant comeback.

New venues have emerged, new blood is being infused into leadership positions and people behind the scenes of local live performance seem to be re-energized and recommitted to providing the best possible theater work our little town can muster. Yet, there is still work to be done, and a healthy number of local theater folk are no longer satisfied with simply mounting a production from time to time and hoping for the best.

Artistic expression as catalyst for social change has grown more important, and it appears administrators across a number of local venues are drawing clear lines between creative and business efforts. This evolution toward businessminded practices may sound counterintuitive in a creative field, but once the blueprints for survival are firmly in place, creative types can maintain a proper pulpit and local theaters and companies can provide more to audiences than simple onesided artistic experiences doled out on a sporadic basis. It’s about fostering a certain level of consistency, and there are a handful of spaces and people currently operating as such and who seem to be steering the medium into unknown yet exciting terrain. As Brushstrokes of a Gadfly author EA Bucchianeri said, “Theaters are curious places, magician’s trick-boxes where the golden memories of dramatic triumphs linger like nostalgic ghosts …”

Let’s make some of these memories.

A room furnished comfortably and tastefully, but not extravagantly.

The Santa Playhouse, the oldest consistently operating theater west of the Mississippi River, has seen big changes over the years; none so effective, however, as the reconfiguration of its board of directors and the addition of executive director/ treasurer Peter Sills. A former software engineer, Sills describes the years leading to his 2015 appointment as transitional and disorganized.

“People do the creative side of things a lot better than I do, but when I joined, the board was

comprised of actors, directors and creative people who maybe didn’t have any business background.

And that’s fine, but it doesn’t lead to creating longevity and growth—I’m not a huge believer of a creative consensus working as a business model,” Sills says. “So I said, look, I’ll come in and help you get the business side of things going, and now we’ve been learning. It’s been a year of learning.”

This comes with growing pains, but with Sills’ business acumen and Irving’s passionate desire for community growth and, maybe even more importantly, a variety of productions, the little theater on DeVargas Street seems on track for CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

only come Saturday nights, say, you can see Benchwarmers or a full play or all the readings; it’s a little complicated, but if people are really motivated, they can come to see pretty much everything.”

This serves a two-pronged purpose: to feed into Irving’s dedication to variety in coming Playhouse productions, and to prove that Santa Fe can foster and sustain a thriving theater scene.

Irving and Sills both see big things for the Different Festival’s future including, they hope, the inclusion of other venues down the road in the shape of an annual town-wide event. “I’m a fan of ‘the rising tide rises all boats,’” Irving tells SFR. “The more good theater that’s in town, the more people will think of Santa Fe as a town where they can see good theater, and I keep seeing this as the beginning of a renaissance here.”

Santa Fe Playhouse artistic director Vaughn Irving.

one of its best years yet as we head into 2017. Last year alone featured a number of performances such as She Kills Monsters, The Last Five Years and The Pillowman, challenging and smart productions that ask a lot of their audiences and contain tough subject matter.

Some proved popular, some powerful and some divisive, but all have contributed to one of the most important facets of successful, effective art on a local or any scale: People are talking.

And the Playhouse would like to hold onto that buzz as it heads into October and unveils a new month-long festival dubbed the Different Festival.

The better part of the month will find the Playhouse hosting staged readings, the 15th season of their proprietary one-act series, Benchwarmers, and the

inaugural production of a new original work titled The Two Lobbyists of Verona by Kentucky-based playwrights Diana Grisanti and Steve Moulds. Lobbysists was chosen from over 100 submissions vetted by a blind panel of 40some theater pros spread out across the country. The entire festival will be presented in repertory, a type of scheduling which repeats a number of shows in alternating sequence.

“We’re exposing the Santa Fe audience to new stuff, but it’s also giving playwrights the opportunity to hear their work out loud in front of an audience and maybe go back to the drawing board to develop their piece into something that will hopefully have a life beyond this festival,” Irving says. “We’ve tried to design the festival so if you can

Changes are brewing here as well.

Stalwart executive artistic director W Nicholas Sabato has announced he will leave Santa Fe Performing Arts this month after 20 years, and longtime children’s company director Megan Burns will fill the vacant role. “When I decided some time ago I was going to step down, I looked at Megan and thought to myself that she was this beautifully talented person,” Sabato says. “I would really encourage other nonprofits to look within their organizations and the community before they go on these nationwide searches, because there are so many talented young people in Santa Fe who are more than capable of taking it on.”

Burns is perhaps best known as singer-songwriter Flamingo Pink, or

as a co-founder of arts collective Meow Wolf, but she has also run the SFPA youth program for 14 years and change.

In her new position, she says she’ll be able to drive dramatic change and steer the overall vision into new and more sustainable territory. Burns agrees that though numerous theaters and companies have continually operated for decades, the current climate leans more toward the vibrant than it has in some time. “I don’t know how many theaters there are at the moment, but at one point I know there were a lot. Whatever has happened with the lull, there’s now this nice reaction that maybe took some time, but I think there’s this new fresh theater energy,” she says. In recent years, SFPA hasn’t mounted productions as often as it once did, but Burns envisions any number of youth and adult plays will soon inhabit the space starting with a youth production of The Little Prince this November, as well as a play about lowrider culture currently in pre-production.

“With the New Mexico History Museum and Northern New Mexico College,” she says, “we’ve gathered student stories and we believe it will be the very first theatrical play about lowriders.”

The exterior of a one-story building faces a street in Santa Fe, which is named Calle Marie.

Teatro Paraguas executive director Argos MacCallum appears as if from nowhere in a sleeveless tee, hammer in hand. He’s building scenery for the small space’s upcoming original show, Revolution, which was written by their board of directors’ vice president, Alix Hudson.

the Zapatistas and fought during the Mexican Revolution of the early 1900s.

Revolution is among 15 full-scale productions mounted by Teatro Paraguas since 2008, but ultimately only a small slice of its offerings.

In October alone, Paraguas will host poetry readings, open mics, assorted music events, dance performances and much more. Still, as the average age of theatergoers rapidly rises and services like Netflix keep us at home, smaller spaces like Teatro Paraguas will continue to struggle. A shift needs to occur, most immediately in the shape of interested youth.

“I’m amazed we’ve made it this far,” MacCallum says, only half-joking.

“There are young people who are slowly becoming more interested in theater and attending it, and we’re really hoping to integrate with places like Monte Del Sol [Charter School]. But I’ve been doing this for decades, and sometimes the ball moves forward a little bit and then falls back.”

Fe, and Hudson as a bilingual teacher at Nye Bilingual Early Childhood Center. It’s a small operation, but one with a whole hell of a lot of heart.

“Paraguas was built stick by stick,” MacCallum tells SFR. “Santa Fe has always needed a number of small venues, and there’s really nowhere else that’s as low-risk or without a lot of strings and red tape.”

In its eight years, Teatro Paraguas has consistently focused on multicultural plays and literature with a focus on children’s theater and the celebration of diverse history or underserved communities.

“We have a specificity of mission and want all of our productions to focus on the multi-cultural experience,” Hudson says. “Deaf culture, queer culture, Hispanic and Latino culture …

That sort of theater is still neglected.”

This mission feeds well into Revolution, which tells the tale of Fernando Reyes, a fictional character based on a real-life trans man who joined

When the performing arts department at the Santa Fe University of Art & Design (SFUAD) staged the musical adaptation of ’80s dark comedy film Heathers last April, it was like an unspoken nod to a new focus on contemporary works.

Of course, the program strives to provide students with a well-rounded theater arts education and classics are bound to be studied and produced, but according to department chair Laura Fine Hawkes, the program has allocat-

ed a majority of its budget into newer plays.

“We are looking at where students are landing in the marketplace, and we know they’ll spend a hefty amount of time with classics if they go on to post-grad studies, so most of our effort will go into contemporary works,” Fine Hawkes says. “I do think there are patrons who’d still like to see classic works, though, and I do think we have to consider that, because we’re interested in building our patron audience.”

Fine Hawkes, a graduate of the College of Santa Fe, which occupied the campus before SFUAD, has served as department chair for just under two years. “I think the challenge is that we have a chance to do something mean-

ingful and real in terms of commitment to the community and I don’t think programming has been actively communicated,” she says. “But there are some long-range conversations happening and we’re looking at how the students can reach out to the community.”

The school’s productions have been and continue to be some of the finest and most professional in the region, and the department cuts a wide swath in providing both performing and technical training; some of the most talented actors, singers, tech workers, et al occupy the space and, if shows like Heathers or Den of Thieves or the upcoming production of Sondheim’s Company have anything to say about today’s theater offerings in Santa Fe, it’s that we must distance ourselves from the idea of student or university theater as amateur or unprofessional.

“Population-wise, we aren’t Chicago or Houston or Los Angeles, obviously, so the question is how do we program to suit student needs and also the patron base?” Fine Hawkes asks. “I think the vibrancy that theater lends as a dynamic art form would help us resolve some of that disconnect.”

A melody is heard, played upon a flute. It is small and fine, telling of grass and trees and the horizon.

It is the feeling of change and exploration, or perhaps something to which we’re not accustomed, an often-unwelcome idea in Santa Fe. Say hello to the Adobe Rose Theater, yet another new culture hub recently arrived within

the burgeoning arts district of the midtown/Siler Road area courtesy of Los Angeles transplants Bruce and Maureen McKenna. Before you grab your pitchforks to run them out of town for daring to have not been born here, they’ve called Santa Fe home for a decade, and it’s important to specify they know what they’re doing after working in Hollywood and producing theater in New York City.

It took the McKennas a mere four months to retrofit a former door factory into a theater complete with a café-like lobby area and professionalcaliber lighting. Its sound and seating are about as top-notch as it gets.

The Adobe Rose represents a focus on quality, but also inclusivity as the lobby doubles as gallery space for visual art shows and the theater itself can be rented out to anyone (though the waiting list for rentals is beginning to stretch into 2018). The McKennas even work with potential renters to assure an affordable experience, and for shows they produce themselves under the moniker ART (Adobe Rose Theater), there is an emphasis on paying people for their time.

“The key is to find the right combination of plays,” Bruce says. “I think what people maybe sometimes do is to put on older, classic plays, and that’s important. You can’t ignore that. But if you focus only on that, your audience dies off and then what are you left with?”

This is how Adobe Rose came to mount productions like The Bomb-itty of Errors, a contemporary, rap-themed retelling of Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors, or their most recent show, the Kenneth Lonergan-penned Lobby Hero (which starred the Santa Fe Playhouse’s Vaughn Irving), a critical darling about a Navy veteran-turnedsecurity guard.

“We’re really trying to get a broader and deeper attack on all these different constituencies,” Bruce says of their potential demographic.

Additionally, Adobe Rose offers workshops and classes, grants access to high schools and youth productions, presents staged readings, works with at-risk youth, provides special events and does so much more it’s practically impossible to get it all down.

“We’re about education and nontraditional casting,” Maureen says proudly. “We’re about plays that are inclusive of the whole community, and also letting people know we’re here and we want you to come and we want to make it affordable.”

In the Wings Elsewhere With this handy overview of upcoming events at various venues, you’ll be a theater master in no time flat—and it also accentuates just how many exciting productions are happening all the time in Santa Fe. There are more events where these came from, so it’s a good idea to do your homework and get a more complete idea of the countless offerings at your disposal. Break a leg.

TURN AROUND, BRIGHT EYES As far as the world of indie rock goes, you’d have a hard time sussing out a well-known musician who has written more songs or embodied more genres and subgenres than Conor Oberst. The former Bright Eyes frontman has been at it forever, and with a seemingly effortless ability to crack open his personal life for heart-wrenching frankness presented as catchy-ass songs, it’s no wonder he’s remained on the forefront of musical consciousness for nearly two decades. Oberst should appeal to anyone from country fans and emo kids to the snobbiest of indie aficionados, and he does so while remaining completely relatable; this man feels deeply and wants to share that with everyone.

You Say You Want a Revolution With a running time of about one hour, Revolution is short, sweet and to the point. Rather than presenting the trials and tribulations of the main character chronologically, the story jumps through his memories out of order between 1902 and 1962 with actresses Cristina Vigil, Roxanne Tapia and JoJo Sena de Tarnoff taking on the role from various times of his life. The journey weaves together his tale from that of young woman to fierce revolutionary and eventually as an old man looking back over a lifetime of experiences.

“It’s a memory play and a bit of a love poem,” Hudson says. “It follows trains of thought rather than timelines, and it’s about man’s commitment to self.”

Hudson says the overall tone of Revolution leans toward the uplifting, but audiences will also discover sadness and humor. “It’s a play about revolutions both actual and personal,” she says, “and the concept of not apologizing for your own life.” (Alex De Vore) REVOLUTION Through Oct. 16; 7:30 pm ThursdaySaturday. $10-$20 3 pm Sundays $12-$20.

You may have already read this week’s cover story on page 12, wherein we learn that the small but dedicated Teatro Paraguas is on a mission to examine social issues and the underserved through the power of theater.

Its current production, Revolution, aligns with this philosophy beautifully.

The story of Fernando Reyes, a trans man who rose to the rank of colonel with the Zapatistas and fought during the Mexican Revolution of the early 1900s, is best described as historical fiction, though many of the events described in the play—including the 1901 Dance of the Forty-One, a raid targeting gay men living in Mexico City—are true to life. And though it is also well known that any number of badass women dressed as men and fought for the Zapatistas, the character of Reyes capitalizes on the chaos to live out the rest of his life as a man.

“It’s very loosely based on the life of this soldier, Amelio Robles,” playwright Alix Hudson tells SFR. “I learned about Amelio in a Chicano literature class I took in college, and he really exacted this idea of transformation. It’s such a beautiful, inspiring story, so when we were discussing what plays to put on, he popped back into my head.”

WEDNESDAY 2 NOVEMBER AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Optimism is an absolute necessity, even if it’s only optimism of the will, as Gramsci said, and pessimism of the intellect. What has kept me going has been the development of new modes of community.

I don’t know whether I would have survived had not movements survived, had not communities of resistance, communities of struggle. So whatever I’m doing I always feel myself directly connected to those communities and I think that this is an era where we have to encourage that sense of community, particularly at a time when neoliberalism attempts to force people to think of themselves only in individual terms and not in collective terms. It is in collectivities that we find reservoirs of hope and optimism.

A smattering of news from around the Santa Fe music scene

JONNY LEATHER

Extra! Extra!

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

E

veryone is always saying stuff to me like, “Dude, Alex—there’s a lot going on musically around here! It’s so much for such a small town!” And then I’m all like, “Totally.

I know.” But for those who don’t spend their days (or sleepless, nightmarish nights) thinking about Santa Fe music, it can be hard to keep track. I’m gonna help you, though, with this-here basic rundown of some newsworthy goings-on. See y’all out there, maybe.

Storming the Beaches with Logos in Hand member Caitlin Brothers performed for a packed house at Iconik Coffee Roasters (1600 Lena St., 428-0996) to open the Cloacas album release show last Thursday, and pretty much everyone was blown away. Using the name Ppoacher Ppoacher, the Matron Records roster member switched around on banjo, guitar and harp for one of the more emotionally charged and exciting solo performances in Santa Fe history. Brothers’ seamless combination of indie, singer-songwriter and—I’m just gonna say it—emo styles was excellent.

I kinda can’t wait to see what Brothers does next, solo-wise.

Sorry to bring up Cloacas again so soon after we gave their new album a glowing review but, did y’all see that super-rad barroom puppet scene built by members Sabrina and Damon Griffith at any of their release shows? The Griffiths’ Flying Wall Studios (flyingwall.org) creates some of the most interesting one-of-a-kind puppets you’ve ever seen, and the massive Cloacas puppet set was no different.

Nonprofit entity Outside In Productions announced that the submissions process for the 2017 Santa Fe Bandstand series has opened. Interested parties can pop over to santafebandstand.org for more info, but everyone should keep in mind that they’re all about links and YouTube clips rather than physical media. Actually, is anyone still pressing vinyl and CDs? That’s weird. Anyway, you’ve got until Dec.

Ppoacher Ppoacher shout-sang her way into our hearts during a recent performance.

31 at midnight to get those submissions in.

The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Co. (37 Fire Place, 424-3333) keeps bringing the thunder and SFR staffers say the recent Atmosphere show was packed as hell. “We’ve been pearl-jammed,” a certain coworker who somehow fought her way in through the crazy-ass line told me via text in regards to Atmosphere busting out a single line from “Jeremy,” though I took it to mean there was a shoulder-toshoulder crowd, which I later learned was also true.

Anyway, the upcoming show with Conor Oberst—you might remember him from Bright Eyes (see SFR Picks, page 19)—will probably be a similar story and is the last outdoor event they’ve got planned for this year … Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

Illustrious drag queen Bella Gigante rides with her full band, Hella Bella, once again this Friday at Skylight (8 pm, $8, 139 W San Francisco St., 9820775). We applaud Bella for shirking the lip-syncing (though fully recognize its important place within the drag universe) and for employing actual musicians in her show.

Southside DIY venue Ghost (2899 Trades West Road) is putting on shows again (thank God) and Santa Fe rock act Fox White (which features punk/ opera musician Jessie Deluxe) plays alongside lo-

cal rock-ish duo The Hammeritz and Maine’s Crunk Witch, another duo that fuses 8-bit weirdness into their extremely dancey sounds. Crunk Witch’s Facebook page describes it as “bass heavy nerd-pop” so, y’know, mark your calendars for Monday, Oct. 10 at 8 pm. It’ll only set you back a suggested donation of, like, $5.

The art/music saviors at Meow Wolf (1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369) have put together something like 50 performances from 80 artists throughout the month for their House of Halloween event. At $35 a pop, tickets are on the high side, but we’ve been told it’s going to be majorly worth the price of admission.

Shows start Oct. 7 and run 6-9 pm Thursday-Sunday; there will probably be surprises of some kind, so visit meowwolf.com for more info. It’s also especially important to note that Los Angeles hip-hop genius Busdriver hits MW on Oct. 8 at 8:30 pm for a mere $10$13. Familiar to most fans of the Tony Hawk video game series, Busdriver spits rhymes super-fast and is a little weird, but that just makes us like him more.

Eat that, Twista, wherever you are (probably a cashier at a gas station somewhere if my birthday wish from 10 years back came true)!

Of course, the our print and online calendar has even more info, so flip to page 21

New York City Art OD IL LUSTRATI O N S AN D STO RY BY A MY DAV I S

W

hat to wear to an NYC art opening on the hipper-than-hip, gritty-edgyskuzzy-slimy-grimy Lower East Side?

One that they fly you out to and put you up and wine and dine you because it’s showcasing your entire 30-year oeuvre? OK, it’s my hubby’s celluloid oeuvre. The flicks he made while we were—cue soft focus and the string section—falling in love? I got to star in every last one (#NEPOTISM)!

Dubbed The Semiotics of Sleaze, the installation is all seven Jon Moritsugu features projected on the huge concrete gallery walls at the same time; a bit cattywampus with all seven noise-punk soundtracks blaring at once. Oh yeah, did I mention the space (the über-hip Ramiken Crucible) is so au courant it doesn’t even have sign?

You just have to hope for the best and wander down through some kitsched-out weirdness I won’t even describe and pray people read the Artforum blurb and come on down.

So, you see my conundrum: How do I one-up all my glitter-encrusted, vinyl-spattered art punk looks of the last 30 years? I swoon over Ooh La La Consignment (518 Old Santa Fe Trail, 820-6433) for most of my chic ’n’ unique pickings for gigs like this. I spotted a sparkling zebra sweatshirt dress that was pure ’80s insanity and looked divine on my frame. With my chrome-colored locks lopped into a

messy blunt cut and a wet slash of red lips, I’d be done. Well, except for the bag. I spied with my beady greedy eyes a 2016 Marni fringed clutch in otherworldly glossy patent indigo leather.

Perfection. After all, you need motion with the glittery black and white contrast of zebra.

And yes, the shoes. I wore vintage black and white Steve Madden faux snakeskin stiletto booties that have been re-soled at least four times. They rock and I can stand for five hours in them, though if I had known the event and afterparty would have meant standing for 10 hours I might have reconsidered.

An explosion had rocked Chelsea the night before and while Jon and I were having brunch with an old-school entertainment writer pal at a Union Square health food joint, we gossiped and cooed about how good and bad NYC will always be. We Inner-city pressure.

romped through Flying Tiger, the Danish technicolor tchotchke shop, and he pointed out some baby blue plastic duck-shaped specs. I cringed, but tried them on and they were the exact needed sprinkle of umami for my delicious art star look.

The duck glasses were $2, the zebra dress was $39, the Marni bag was $125—but you always pay for the bag. You knew that, right? Never pay for the dress and go with a (insert basic bag brand here) bag.

So there we have it. An entire unique freak look that rocked the downtown cognoscenti for under $200, with most of the cake bought in good old “We don’t have fashion here!” Fanta Se and the frosting courtesy of NYC. Santa Fe is and will and always will be a goldmine of style. Just open your eyes and remember, kids: Style yourself for that fantasy “opening” anytime you want. Haunt Ooh La La and Act 2 (839 Paseo de Peralta, 983-8565) when you wanna work the consignment tip. They are insanely style-forward. And though we don’t have Bergdorf’s or Century 21, we do have Santa Fe Vintage Outpost (202 E Palace Ave.), my favorite boutique at the moment. Jewelry designer Julienne Barth (a genius) and owner Scott Corey (a visionary) bring it major, and the New York Times just did a piece on them, so there!

With some imagination you can hunt and pick and peck and fashion a local look that would make Mr. Lagerfeld take note, or perhaps slowly roll his eyes behind his sunglasses. You may even be able to walk the next day and not have itchy, drippy, bloodshot-bloodhound eyes slipping and sliding around the exquisitely pungent Lower East Side. I love you, NYC. I mean, hey—I’m from New York. But Santa Fe, you have the look, and I want to know better.

A question on your favorite topic, Dan. Just kidding, it’s a question about my vagina. I’m having a problem with the microbiome of my vulva and vagina. I’ve been going to my gyno for the last six months for recurrent bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections. She shrugs, gives me a script, the symptoms go away for a week or so, then they come back. I understand the infections are likely due to an imbalance in my vaginal pH, but I don’t know what to do to fix this. I’ve used probiotic suppositories to boost the amount of lactobacillus and these help more than anything else, but the problem remains. I also wear cotton, loose-fitting undies and practice good hygiene and never douche or use anything scented. The problem started when I stopped using condoms with my partner, but it’s not an STI. We’ve both been tested. There’s tons of sites online talking about this problem, but no one has a solution that I’ve found. How the hell can women with this problem fix their pH?!

Thanks a ton if you read this far, and thanks a million tons if you or one of your experts has any ideas to help.

-Vexed Und Lacking Vaginal Answers “I love that she used the word ‘vulva,’” said Dr. Debby Herbenick, a research scientist at Indiana University, a sexual health educator at the Kinsey Institute, and the author of Read My Lips: A Complete Guide to the Vagina and Vulva and numerous other books. “Most people have no idea what that even is!”

I know what that is! (Full disclosure: I know what that is now. I didn’t know what that was when I started writing this column.) The vulva is (the vulva are?) the external genitalia of the female—the labia, the clit, the vaginal opening, some other bits and pieces. (Fun fact: Vulva is Latin for wrapper.) The vagina, aka “the muscular tube,” runs from the vulva to the uterus. (Fun fact: Vagina is Latin for the sheath of a sword.)

People tend to use “vagina” when referring to a woman’s junk generally, and while meaning follows use and I’m inclined to give it a pass, saying “vagina” when you mean “vulva” makes scientists like Dr. Herbenick rather teste. (Sad fact: Teste is not the singular form of testes.) Now back to your vulva and vagina, VULVA… Dr. Herbenick recommends seeing a “true vulvovaginal health expert” (TVHE) about your problem, VULVA, and your gynecologist presumably qualifies as a TVHE… right?

“Not necessarily,” said Dr. Herbenick. “Gynecologists know far more about vaginal and vulvar health issues than most health care providers, but many gynecologists haven’t received deepdive (pun not intended) specialized training in difficult-to-treat vulvovaginal health conditions.

And if they have, it was likely when they were in med school—so years ago. They might not be up to date in the latest research, since not all doctors go to vulvovaginal-specific conferences.”

Is there a fix for that problem?

“Yes! If everyone lobbied for their doctors to go to events like the annual conference of the International Society for the Study of Vulvovaginal Disease (ISSVD),” said Dr. Herbenick, “we would live in a country with millions more happy, healthy, sex-interested women and others with vaginas and vulvas, too, like trans men.”

As for your particular problem—a tough case of bacterial vaginosis—Dr. Herbenick, who isn’t a medical doctor but qualifies as a TVHE, had some thoughts.

“There are many different forms of bacterial vaginosis (BV) and different kinds of yeast infections,” said Dr. Herbenick. “These different kinds respond well to different kinds of treatment, which is one reason home yeast meds don’t work well for many women. And all too often, health care providers don’t have sufficient training to make fine-tuned diagnoses and end up treating the wrong thing. But if VULVA’s recurrences are frequent, I think it’s a wise idea for her to see a true specialist.”

OCTOBER 5-11, 2016

•

A TVHE is likelier to pinpoint the problem.

Even so, Dr. Herbenick warns that it may take more than one visit with a TVHE to solve the problem.

“I don’t want to over-promise, since BV remains a challenging diagnosis and often does come back at some point,” said Dr. Herbenick.

“There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to BV, which is also why I think VULVA is best off meeting with a health care provider who lives and breathes vaginal health issues. The ISSVD is full of health care providers like that—they’re the Sherlock Holmes of vaginas and vulvas, none of this ‘shrug and here’s a script’ business. VULVA can check out ISSVD.org for more information.”

I have a question about biking and female genitalia. I’m a woman in my forties, and I love biking! My husband and I often go for long rides on the weekend. Unfortunately, this makes various parts of my crotch sore, especially the clitoris.

Certain bike seats are better, but none eliminate the soreness. Two years ago, we had a baby, which not only made my crotch more prone to soreness but makes it a lot less likely that we’ll have sex except on weekends, often after biking. The sore clit makes sex more painful, but it also increases sensitivity, so the whole thing can be an alternating experience of “Ow!” and “Wow!” Am I causing my clit any permanent damage by the biking and/or the post-bike poking? Any suggestions for decreasing crotch soreness?

-Bike Related Injury To Clit; Help Ease Soreness “I love biking, I love vulvas, and I love babies (mine, and I’m sure I would adore BRITCHES’s baby, too!),” said Dr. Herbenick, “so I appreciate being asked to chime in on this question. That said, there’s not a ton of research on female genital health in connection with cycling.”

There’s far more research on men and cycling, due to the risks of bike-seat-related erectile dysfunction specifically and our society’s tendency to prioritize boners generally.

“The few studies that have been conducted on women and cycling—generally cisgender women as far as I can tell—found that cutout seats are linked with a higher risk of genital symptoms, as are handlebars that are lower than the saddle,” said Dr. Herbenick. “So broader saddles and higher handlebars may be the way to go. Some of the research notes higher rates of genital symptoms among people who go on longer rides, spending hours in the saddle.”

To decrease your risk of un-fun genital symptoms, BRITCHES, Dr. Herbenick recommends mixing it up.

“Go biking some weekends and try other activities on other weekends—maybe hiking or swimming? You might also take Dan’s ‘fuck first’ Valentine’s Day advice and apply it to your weekend rides. And if you’re prone to post-intercourse semen leakage (and, really, who isn’t?) use a condom or have him come elsewhere preride so you don’t have the semen seepage issue to contend with on a long ride. I hope this helps!”

YOU CAN HELP: Wherever you fall on the debate about sex work—it should be decriminalized, it shouldn’t be decriminalized—everyone agrees that women who engage in sex work shouldn’t be punished. Yet thousands of women are incarcerated for prostitution or prostitutionrelated crimes. The Sex Workers Outreach Project (SWOP) has launched a pilot program to help these women. Go to swopbehindbars.org to send a book to an incarcerated sex worker (books are in great demand), become a pen pal, or donate a book to a prison library. Since everyone agrees sex workers shouldn’t be punished, everyone should be able to get behind SWOP Behind Bars. I donated a book to an incarcerated sex worker today—it was easy!—and you can, too.

Mr. Sabato here has reigned supreme at the Santa Fe Performing Arts organization (SFPA) as its executive artistic director for just over 20 years, and under his watchful eye he’s created lavish musicals, youth productions and beloved classic plays time and time again. But all good things must end, and Sabato is ready to enter a new chapter of creativity, leaving SFPA behind. (Alex De Vore) Why did you decide to step down?

I’ve got a couple of other projects percolating, and it’s just time for me to do something else. And Megan [Burns, the new executive artistic director] is more than qualified to take the reins. I’m excited! Home is here, but I’ll be doing a bit more traveling, and I’m excited for Megan. I think she’ll take the organization into some wonderful new directions.

What’s next for you?

I’ll be going back to my roots a bit. I’m a lifetime member of the Actor’s Studio in New York, so I’ll be going back there. I’ve got some things going on a creative level with television. I’ll be writing, producing, possibly directing, and we’ll just see how it all manifests itself.

The million-dollar question—can Santa Fe cultivate and maintain a sustainable theater scene?

Y’know, Santa Fe has never been known as a theater town, but for those of us who live here, it’s a wonderful place to work on your craft; you don’t have the pressures of a larger market. As far as what’s happening now, I’m enthusiastic about the future of local theater because a majority of the things happening are with the young people coming in. Santa Fe is different. I think it was Governor [Lew] Wallace who said something like, what works everywhere else doesn’t work in New Mexico. But theater is such a valuable tool, I think it’s looking into the community and asking how we can play our little part.

JOY GODFREY

FOOD

Jambo, Bwana!

No worries at this welcoming multi-culti café

BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

O

ne of the things that makes the Santa Fe food scene great is that we have so much to brag about: the intense concentration of mom-and-pop restaurants showcasing our unique native cuisine and a plethora of exciting high-end restaurants. Come to Santa Fe, we say, the food is amazing! And it is. But what we don’t talk about enough is the range of the restaurants we eat at every day—the quick Tuesday lunch, the early Thursday dinner. We may not have the breadth or depth of ethnic restaurants in Albuquerque or other, bigger cities, but what we do have is high-quality.

In many ways, Jambo Café represents the best of Santa Fe—creative, curious, colorful, diverse and fun. Hidden in a strip mall between Petco and Hobby Lobby, this African-Caribbean fusion restaurant’s cheery orange dining rooms are draped with twinkle lights. The tables are covered with right blue and orange fabric printed with giraffes and leopards. Photographs of coastal Kenya dot the walls. At lunch, they hum with the chatter of a perfect cross-section of the city from office workers still wearing their lanyards, seniors out for a ladies’ lunch or college students exploring. It’s just fun to be there.

Chef/owner Ahmed Obo is an adventurous eater with a global palate, and it shows in his menu. He grew up on Lamu, a small island off the coast of Kenya, in the Indian Ocean. Located just south of the equator, this part of Kenya’s coast is unmistakably African, but also a Muslim community that’s closer to Saudi Arabia than South Africa, closer to India than Morocco. It is the heart of Swahili culture, with a blended history of Africans who traded and lived—and ate—with Arabs, Portugese and Indians.

The flavors of coastal Kenya emerge in dishes like East African coconut lentil stew ($10.95) and Lamu coconut pili pili shrimp ($15.95). Jambo’s

roti is a buttery Indian-influenced flatbread ($2.95) that improves everything you scoop up with it. I spent time in Lamu as a student in my 20s and just the thought of pili pili shrimp takes me back there. With access to beautiful fresh seafood and so many spices, the food on the coast is far more complex (and interesting) than central Kenyan food. It was the highlight of my time in Kenya and it’s the most special and delicious food on this menu.

But don’t miss out on some of Jambo Café’s traditional African mainstays. There are dishes I ate when I was living in a mud-and-dung hut in Kaimosi, a rural village on the western edge of the country, near Lake Victoria. Jambo’s simple polenta-like ugali ($2.95) tastes exactly like the one my host mother made for dinner every night.

Try a side of sautéed spinach with garlic ($4.95).

It reminds me of sukuma wiki, a simple dish present at every meal, made with things like collard greens, kale, beet tops or whatever else is handy.

Jambo also brings in the flavors of North Africa, with Moroccan spiced chicken kebabs ($13.95) and a tagine-style lamb stew with chickpeas, raisins and sweet potatoes over couscous ($13.95).

But Chef Obo also has a love affair with the Caribbean, so you’ll find plenty of options that will take you back to a vacation in Jamaica. Check out the jerk chicken, which is available in a salad ($10.95); as a platter with red beans, basmati rice and fried plantains ($13.95); or as a pita-wrapped sandwich ($9.95). The banana-leaf-wrapped island spiced mahi mahi ($16.95) spans the globe to combine wild rice, bok choy and a mango tamarind sauce. The island spice coconut peanut chicken stew over basmati coconut rice ($12.95) is positively addictive.

For a real trip around the menu I recommend the combination plate ($14.95): moist, rich curried chicken, sweetly spiced coconut lentils and an earthy goat stew. But feel free to wander over the whole menu—you can’t make a wrong turn.

Um, are you kidding us right now with this bonkers-looking banana wrapped island spiced mahi mahi?!

Long Way North Review: Exponential Growth A gorgeous animated film about love, loss and learning by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

In a world dominated by computeranimated films both full-length and short, hand-drawn animated movies are not only refreshing, they’re borderline novel. French director Rémi Chayé (who worked as an animator on 2009’s The Secret of Kells) proves this incontrovertibly with Long Way North, a film about a young Russian girl who abandons the aristocracy in search of

her grandfather Oloukine, an explorer who disappeared some years back while looking for a serviceable route through the North Pole.

Sasha (Christa Théret) is your typical brash young character who ignores her father’s overbearing wishes, thinks nothing of insulting the heartless head of her government’s science ministry and who is much more in her element poring over charts and maps than attending fancy balls. This kind of storyline is obviously nothing we haven’t seen before (that’s not how young women are supposed to act!). But the sense that Sasha’s loss is so unbearable she’d leave behind a comfortable life surpasses the

SCORE CARD

her ever further into both maturity and independence, and by the time we reach the climax, Sasha is almost an entirely different person. These are important lessons for young people, maybe even more so for young women who are so constantly bombarded with the idea that one day their prince will come and then they’ll never have to worry about making their own way in the world ever again.

Long Way North’s style is simple yet effective, and though the palette is of minimal, muted colors, the backdrops of locations such as St. Petersburg, a small coastal village or the white vastness of the Pole serve as recognizable place-setters and also to signify the various chapters of Sasha’s trip. The simplicity of the art direction never subtracts from the final product; if anything, it redirects our attention to the importance of character development or the various calamities our heroine manages to escape while creating a strong sense of place and momentum. Thus, we’re left with a lot to think about, which makes Long Way North a no-brainer for families, yes, but for all ages in between. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you long after it’s over and that celebrates the good things born of love and tenacity.

LONG WAY NORTH Directed by Rémi Chayé Center for Contemporary Arts, PG, 81 min.

cut-and-paste nature of, oh say, Disney films, wherein characters are generally thrust into extraordinary circumstances rather than actively seeking them out. It’s a little bit uplifting but also relatable, whether the viewer is a young person who uses a sense of immortality to charge headlong into the unknown or someone with more experience who might chuckle to themselves knowing that sometimes the only way to actually learn is to make the mistakes.

This makes for something entirely more artistic than the usual animated fare, and different enough as to elicit an actual, palpable emotional response.

The journey plays out on literal and figurative levels, and while Sasha’s growth is steady, what’s more important is that it is measureable. We observe organic change in how she carries herself. The fleshing out of her character is never rushed to the point it seems unbelievable, however. We just can’t help but root for her the whole way, even as she makes naïve mistakes in the earlier bits of the film that result in a month of manual labor in a small boarding house or as she navigates her way through the rough-and-tumble sailors of the ship she hires to help complete her task.

Through flashbacks we piece together that Sasha and her grandfather are kindred spirits, and without overtly shoving it in our faces, we get a sense that the missing Oloukine practically calls to her from somewhere in the icy expanses of the far north. This propels

AUTHOR: THE JT LEROY STORY When a young man penetrates the literary scene in the early years of the century, he’s compared to William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor. He speaks with a lilting Southern accent and what he writes is mind-blowing in its darkness and artistry. It’s disturbing and confusing; it’s fiction and art born from experience. Then the tables turn, and journalists get help from insiders to reveal that hit “it” lit sensation JT LeRoy ain’t who he says he is. But is he a lie and a hoax? Or is the woman holding the pen channeling someone else? Is the avatar she created an ethical breach or the ultimate meaning of fiction?

If this kind of puzzle turns you on, meet Laura Albert. She published two novels, a collection of short stories and a number of screenplays and articles under the name JT LeRoy. But more than that, she carried on hours of phone conversations and exchanged correspondence with writers, actors and musicians as LeRoy while simultaneously presenting a dressed-up relative to the media and some of those same celebrities. All the while, she was nearby posing as his friend and caregiver.

Granted, this topic is a web of misdirection and omission, but the way Albert’s retelling is pieced together leaves the viewer in a dizzy and disjointed frenzy

of time, space and characters.

Relying heavily on audio cassette recordings of Albert’s phone calls, the documentary also has plenty of creepy video and fuzzy photos from what she says is her own troubled past.

Our armchair psychology meter goes off when she says things like LeRoy “came through this body.” But Albert swears this isn’t multiple personality disorder.

Her avatar emerged in part because writing from a female perspective was traumatizing. Writing as a boy, she says, came effortlessly. “The book,” she says by way of explanation, “says on the jacket ‘fiction.’ The rest is extra.” (Julie Ann Grimm) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 110 min.

STARVING THE BEAST Should students and the private sector bear the financial burden of sustaining the publicly funded universities in the United States because individuals and businesses are the beneficiaries? Or does the benefit and responsibility of education fall on our society as a whole?

Starving the Beast, a documentary about higher education funding policy’s dramatic shift toward disruption and reform, proposes dozens of other big-thinking questions with these at its heart.

Maybe it’s just the right PR stance

when you’re trying to deliver a message.

Considering that the opening salvo speech in the production is a fiery one delivered

by James Carville, and that his pithy and poignant perspective takes center stage in much of the film’s storyline, also hints where this is leaning.

“You can have the Koch brothers draw up your curriculum for you,” Carville says in the documentary. “They’d be happy to do that.”

Yet, there’s more to drink than the Carville Kool-Aid. Banowsky is not exaggerating when he points out that the subjects who provide the Beast narrative are diverse, as we get to look into the cold eyes of the director of the Pope Center for Higher Education Policy as he explains how it just doesn’t make sense to help poor people learn stuff that doesn’t make money and that tenured teachers are mostly bad apples (we paraphrase).

Much of the impetus of the reform effort comes from the idea of “disruptive innovation,” explored by Clayton Christensen in a series of publications that became gospel for conservative politicians and their business-minded (read: wealthy) allies. They want education institutions to prove that what students are learning has a value in the marketplace. Other voices, including that of University of Virginia CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Hold onto your hats, because here comes another remake—this time in the form of legendary Western The Magnificent Seven (which was itself a retelling of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai). In this new iteration, the blackhearted Bartholomew Bogue (a cartoonishly evil Peter Sarsgaard) is hell-bent on taking over the small valley town of Rose Creek, and the people who live there are pretty sad about it.

Cue social unrest exploding into street violence and a whole mess of murders.

Observing her husband gunned down in broad daylight doesn’t sit too well with Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett), so she hires a duly licensed warrant officer named Chisolm (Denzel Washington) to take Bogue down. “I seek righteousness,” Emma says, “but I shall take revenge.” Dang!

Chisolm takes on the job, natch, and it seems like maybe he has his own mysterious reasons for pursuing Bogue—but he can’t do it alone.

This is where the six other guys come into play, though their motivations are flimsy at best. Faraday (the always likeable Chris Pratt), for example, owes Chisolm for getting his horse out of hock, and Goodnight Robicheaux (a surprisingly decent Ethan Hawke) joins because, uh … well, he just does. Ditto for his stereotypical Asian pal Billy Rocks (Bynughun Lee), the tracker Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), a Mexican outlaw named Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and a loner Comanche warrior named Red Harvest (whom they meet completely by chance and who joins the posse because he seemingly didn’t have anything else going on—played by Martin Sensmeier).

It’s fun enough to watch the assemblage of the group, and there is definite chemistry between Washington and Pratt, but this must

be about the most predictable movie of all time. And sure, it’s a remake, but we honestly expected a more sophisticated retelling from such an accomplished writer (True Detective mastermind Nic Pizzolatto). Everything plays out exactly how you’d expect and the overused filmic devices just keep on a-coming. It sure is entertaining, though, and one does wonder how on earth a two-hour film that’s basically just dudes getting shot in the face didn’t pick up the R rating. Regardless, The Magnificent Seven is fine. Just fine. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 133 min.

THE HOLLARS The Hollars probably have something in common with your family. Though the film’s title might evoke images of swampy coastline or deep Appalachian valleys, the family is really just a melting pot white Midwestern tribe in a city that’s never mentioned along that vast highway that cuts the breadbasket of the nation, I-70. Meet Don, Ron, John and their mom (Sally). Dad’s business is failing; his rock of ages, Sally, is struggling with her weight; son No. 1 is back home in the den when he’s not stalking his ex-wife and son No. 2 is bummed out even though he’s got it all going on far away in New York City.

When Mrs. Hollar is diagnosed with a brain tumor and the menfolk gather round, their coping strategies run the gamut from a slap fight in a hospital room between the dendwelling, off-kilter kid (Sharlto Copley, District 9) and the limp father (Richard Jenkins, Jack Reacher) to a touching three-part rendition of one of her favorite songs as she’s wheeled off to the operating room.

Most of the tear-jerking moments end with laughter drying out their edges, but there’s enough unsettled to keep it real. The bond between mother and the good son, John (John Krasinski, The Office, who also directs) is endearing with a bedside honesty as Margo Martindale plays the woman who’s holding up many a man.

Meanwhile, Anna Kendrick’s Becca brings her own brand of smart, strong and altogether lovely, weighing in at a formidable 8-plusmonths pregnant and full of insight about helping a fearful Krasinski figure out how to embrace his future and that of their new family.

Since we all heard enough of it in Pitch Perfect, she holds off on the singing.

MOVIES

Starving the Beast asks what’s up with public higher-ed. surgery plus the new one on the way, director Krasinski and writer Jim Strouse (New York, I Love You) manage to keep the story from feeling corny. If this is an example of the kind of storytelling we can expect from Krasinski’s future directorial efforts, we could be settling in for some good stuff. (Julie Ann Grimm) Violet Crown, PG-13, 88 min.

SNOWDEN Oliver Stone doesn’t do short and sweet. He does long and developed. Most of the time, he’s even really good at doing important, tense, conflicted moments in US history. If there’s a confusing saga that’s worth this kind of unweaving and reassembly, that of domestic surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden seems to qualify; Stone conveys its importance in a story that feels expertly dramatic.

By now, the furor surrounding Snowden’s remarkable 2013 actions has died down, and this biopic that hits the highlights of his forever-changed life revives a tale that could fall into the virtual weeds of computer jargon.

Instead, it grows into a furious flower under the storied director’s hand and with the solid foundation laid by an earlier award-winning documentary, Citizenfour, directed by Laura Poitras.

Stone is certainly sympathetic to his cause, sticking to the theme that Snowden has continued to preach: He leaked classified documents that revealed extensive data collection methods by the United States government so that the people of the nation could debate their use and consequences.

Government officials say Snowden is far from a hero, having committed treason on the modern battlefield, and their perspective clearly wears the black hat in Stone’s packed narrative.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s (Inception) depiction of boyish Snowden has audiences swooning for a loveable love story while cringing at the difficult decisions he makes. When the camera shifts in the final frames to the real Ed, the transition is seamless enough to reinforce how believable the effort came off. (JAG) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 134 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT MASSAGE THERAPY CHRISTIAN YOGA Rob Brezsny

Week of October 5th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) At a recent party, a guy I hardly know questioned my authenticity. “You seem to have had an easy life,” he jabbed. “I bet you haven’t suffered enough to be a truly passionate person.” I didn’t choose to engage him, but mused to myself, “Not enough suffering? What about the time I got shot? My divorce?

My five-year-long illness? The manager of my rock band getting killed in a helicopter crash?” But after that initial reaction, my thoughts turned to the adventures that have stoked my passion without causing pain, like the birth of my daughter, getting remarried to the woman I divorced, and performing my music for excited audiences. I bring this up, Aries, because I suspect that you, too, will soon have experiences that refine and deepen your passion through pleasure rather than hardship.

year-round. But back in 1929, an adventurer named Bill Williams decided the task of hiking to the summit wasn’t tough enough. He sought a more demanding challenge. Wearing kneepads, he spent 21 days crawling along as he used his nose to push a peanut all the way up. I advise you to avoid making him your role model in the coming weeks, Virgo. Just climb the mountain. Don’t try to push a peanut up there with your nose, too.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “It isn’t normal to know what we want,” said psychologist Abraham Maslow. “It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” He wasn’t referring to the question of what you want for dinner or the new shoes you plan to buy. He was talking about big, long-term yearnings: what you hope to be when you grow up, the qualities you look for in your best allies, the TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s the Frank and Focused feelings you’d love to feel in abundance every day of your life. Now here’s the good news, Libra: The next ten Feedback Phase, Taurus—prime time to solicit insight months should bring you the best chance ever to figure about how you’re doing. Here are four suggestions to get you started. 1. Ask a person who loves and respects out exactly what you want the most. And it all starts now. you to speak the compassionate truth about what’s SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Practitioners of the most important for you to learn. 2.

He says that these acts of kindyour essential goals. 4. Say this prayer to your favorite ness bolster your vigor. The coming weeks will be an tree or animal or meadow: “Show me what I need to do especially favorable time to attend to measures like these, in order to feel more joy.”

Scorpio. I hope you will also be imaginative as you give GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Many of my readers regard yourself extra gifts and compliments and praise. me as being exceptionally creative. Over the years, they have sent countless emails praising me for my original approach to problem-solving and art-making.

But I suspect that I wasn’t born with a greater talent for creativity than anyone else. I’ve simply placed a high value on developing it, and have worked harder to access it than most people. With that in mind, I invite you to tap more deeply into your own mother lode of innovative, imaginative energy. The cosmic trends favor it. Your hormones are nudging you in that direction.

What projects could use a jolt of primal brilliance?

What areas of your life need a boost of ingenuity?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Love wants more of you.

Love longs for you to give everything you have and receive everything you need. Love is conspiring to bring you beautiful truths and poignant teases, sweet dispensations and confounding mysteries, exacting blessings and riddles that will take your entire life to solve. But here are some crucial questions: Are you truly ready for such intense engagement? Are you willing to do what’s necessary to live at a higher and deeper level? Would you know how to work with such extravagant treasure and wild responsibility? The coming weeks will be prime time to explore the answers to these questions.

I’m not sure what your answers will be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The coming weeks will be one of the best times ever for wrestling with God or tussling with Fate or grappling with karma. Why do I say that?

Because you’re likely to emerge triumphant! That’s right, you lucky, plucky contender. More than I’ve seen in a long time, you have the potential to draw on the crafty power and unruly wisdom and resilient compassion you would need to be an unambiguous winner. A winner of what? You tell me. What dilemma would you most like to resolve?

What test would you most like to ace? At what game would you most like to be victorious? Now is the time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Are you grunting and sweating as you struggle to preserve and maintain the gains of the past? Or are you smooth and cagey as you maneuver your way towards the rewards of the future?

I’m rooting for you to put the emphasis on the second option. Paradoxically, that will be the best way to accomplish the first option. It will also ensure that your motivations are primarily rooted in love and enthusiasm rather than worry and stress. And that will enable you to succeed at the second option.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do you believe that you are mostly just a product of social conditioning and your genetic make-up? Or are you willing to entertain a different hypothesis: that you are a primal force of nature on an unpredictable journey? That you are capable of LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Each of us contains a multiplicity rising above your apparent limitations and expressing of selves. You may often feel like there’s just one of you rumbling around inside your psyche, but it’s closer to the aspects of yourself that might have been unimaginable truth to say that you’re a community of various characters when you were younger? I believe the coming weeks will be a favorable time to play around with this vision. Your whose agendas sometimes overlap and sometimes knack for transcendence is peaking. So are your powers conflict. For example, the needy part of you that craves to escape the past and exceed limited expectations. love isn’t always on the same wavelength as the ambitious part of you that seeks power. That’s why it’s a PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In one of your nightly good idea to periodically organize summit meetings dreams, Robin Hood may team up with Peter Pan to where all of your selves can gather and negotiate.
