COVER, APRIL 5: “CASTLES, RUINS & MYSTERIES”

HALPIN ARENA? I am writing in response to your story on the New Mexico Museum of Art’s plans for the Joseph F Halpin Building, named after our father. We would love to see the building once again being used. However, we are dismayed at the suggestion of renaming the building on behalf of the highest bidder. This is not a sports arena!

The building was named after our father by the state Legislature to honor him for over 20 years of service in bringing the New Mexico Records Center to national recognition. This is an honor not given lightly and should not be changed based on a highest-bid contest.

We encourage the New Mexico Museum of Art to put the building to a productive use, but ... it should remain as the Joseph F Halpin Building.

hind the political action committee that spent big in the last mayoral election is head of this PAC. That’s a turnoff.

And we join others who are suspicious of the mayor’s intentions. Javier Gonzales is hedging about his next political step. Rather than declaring his candidacy for another term as mayor in the face of a bold pronouncement from Councilor Ron Trujillo that he’ll seek the post in next year’s election, Gonzales has hinted that he may run for governor in the June 2018 Democratic primary. We can’t help but think the outcome of this election will help him decide.

The last time Santa Fe held a special election for a single issue, the question of a real-estate transfer tax on high-end homes that would have raised money for affordable housing, voters told City Hall “no,” and the mayor apparently didn’t favor that effort. In fact, Gonzales didn’t vote at all. He said in an interview last week that he couldn’t remember whether he voted or not, and City Hall spokesman Matt Ross later told SFR that the mayor “missed” that election in 2009.

The tax will hike the price of a product that’s not essential to survival, Gonzales argues. In fact, it’s a product that’s proven to be harmful. We concede that point. Plus, the soda machine company recently took away the vending machine at SFR because we did not empty it frequently enough. (We drink coffee.)

However, even if you remove the issue’s political face, this proposal is a “no” for us because it ultimately requires the city to take on a whole new bureaucracy, not just hiring a third-party contractor to collect the tax from distributors, but also overseeing who gets the money and monitoring outcomes.

If City Hall is really thirsty for a pre-K plan, it’s worth refining, simplifying and taking another swig with a methodical precision, community buy-in, and fewer questions about political posturing.

Come back with a lower tax during a regular election, and partner with public agencies that already specialize in education. It’s for the children, after all.

n the South, everything is a Coke.

Around the middle of the country, it’s all pop. To most everyone else, it’s soda. Lately, in Santa Fe, we’re hearing about “sugar-sweetened beverages.” It really rolls off the tongue.

Early voting begins today, April 12, in a May 2 special election for a single question: To tax or not to tax this three-word subset of our consumptive culture?

Are you surprised that the city is having an election in an odd year? Special, indeed. Backers just couldn’t wait until next spring during the regular city election; their haste will cost you, dear voter, an estimated $85,000 or so.

But fret not. The more than $7 million projected to pour into the city’s coffers each year like a two-liter godsend on a hot day is, after all, going to the children.

Well, maybe not straight to the children. Rather, the city aims to spread the cash among various providers of pre-K, a sort of hybrid between childcare and nursery school. The plan, they say, will increase the number of pre-K slots for kids, improve the quality of experience and make it more affordable for parents.

On the surface, it’s not hard to agree that too much sugar is bad and that more learning for kids is good. Yet below the surface of this proposal, there’s a lot bubbling away.

Let this not be misunderstood: We’re as annoyed as anyone about a national group dumping money into a local decision. Ads funded by the American Beverage Association have said things that just are not true—like a recent mailer that said the city had hiked electricity rates.

(The city does not control those rates.)

We also firmly believe that the community—specifically the state and the school board—have an obligation to do better for our children. We are proud that a group of Santa Feans that includes business owners and retired economists wants the city to take on big problems.

Yet, even with some new faces at the pro-tax Pre-K for Santa Fe, it’s still run by the progressive cabal that pulls the strings here. The same consultant be-

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

E

ach weekday morning, the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe comes to life slowly. A few tourists are usually out for a jog, fighting the surprisingly thin air. Merchants make a quick check of window displays and sweep away any trash that’s found its way to their doorstep.

In the southwest part of town, however, Santa Fe has been awake hours before the bells first ring at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis. Cars zip back and forth along Cerrillos and Airport Roads. Parents are hustling kids to school or daycare, then scrambling to get to work. There are more kids here than any other part of town. There are more people, too.

But there aren’t more voters. The city is divided into four City Council districts, and the two with the wealthiest residents—Districts 1 and 2—have more than twice the registered voters of District 3.

Even the south-central District 4 comes close to doubling its neighbor to the west.

While the city’s last round of redistricting produced four districts with roughly equal total population—currently the only legally acceptable way to adjust representation—the makeup of the roughly 20,000 people in each district is remarkably different.

Not only are there fewer voters in District 3, those people who do register are

Voter registration data shows the part of Santa Fe most affected by a sugary-drink tax has the least say in whether it happens

also less likely to cast a ballot. In the last municipal election, fewer than 7 percent turned out. That’s roughly one in every 14 registered voters. The rest of the city better than doubled that number, too.

That sort of disparity makes for an interesting electoral dynamic for the May 2 special election to levy a 2-cents-perounce sugary-beverage tax. Household income in District 3 is less than almost every other part of town, which means a family is more likely to drink sugary beverages, according to well-established research.

But with twice the number of kids as District 1, according to advocates for the tax, the southwest side of town would be more likely to benefit from the pre-kindergarten programs the tax aims to fund.

They estimate the tax would create 177 extra spots for 3- and 4-year-olds in District 3.

So what is a parent or an interested citizen on the Southside to consider when staring at that one, lone question on the ballot?

For many voters, University of New Mexico Political Science Department Chair Tim Krebs says the choice will come down to a preference between the more immediate, individual economic effect—how much sugary stuff you drink and how you think it’ll affect your bank account—and the benefit that will come later through more abstract measures like a potential spot in a pre-kindergar-

ten program, better-educated kids and healthier families.

That makes the ultimate outcome of that conflict at the ballot box hard to predict.

“You think of this as kind of a no-brainer for liberal Democratic voters,” Krebs tells SFR on the phone from a political science conference.

Krebs explains there’s likely to be much stronger turnout from wealthier voters in the north and east sides of the city. Among these are people who make more money, are less likely to drink soda and, despite being less likely to benefit from expanded pre-K, still favor the tax.

The problem for those who are against the tax is that the kind of “liberal” voters Krebs describes make up a huge part of Santa Fe’s voting population. District 3 voters who might balk at the higher cost of sugary drinks are outnumbered: For every one registered voter in District 3, there are nearly four and a half voters registered in Districts 1 and 2.

“There’s definitely a divide in the city in terms of income inequality,“ says David Huynh, the former Hillary Clinton staffer now running the Better Way for Santa Fe &

SANTA FE CITY

Pre-K political committee that’s against the tax. He and others argue the tax is easy for wealthier voters to handle.

“A lot of people look at this issue and say it’s really a pocketbook issue for them,” says Huynh.

Krebs says the tax would almost certainly be dead in the water if it weren’t tied to pre-kindergarten programs. Not only is a new tax of any kind a hard sell, but anti-tax voters—that often means Republicans—are more likely to vote in such elections.

“We are spending a lot of time talking to families about the benefits,” Sandra Wechsler tells SFR. The political consultant spearheading the effort for the sugary-drink tax says the Pre-K for Santa Fe group is focusing on the long-term benefits like healthy families and the downward pressure more pre-K seats will put on the cost of early childhood education across the city.

The stakes are high. Anti-tax players like Big Soda and pro-tax advocates like former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg have poured than $1.5 million into the campaign. Early voting starts today.

THE ENTHUSIAST

Race from town to the ski area summit was born of a love of doing hard things, and it’s poised to grow

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

fter starting with a lap around the Plaza, participants in the Plaza2Peak event then run or bike up Hyde Park Road to the ski basin, where they switch to a ski touring rig used to ascend the ski area to the top of Deception Peak. In total, they’ll cover 17 miles and climb 5,000 feet in elevation. Race-organizer Madeleine Carey is a self-professed lover of “doing hard things” (like ski touring and running up mountains) and is a hard-ass about taking competition head-on as the personal measuring stick that it can be. But this race isn’t really about who comes in first.

“We vaguely keep track of who does it the fastest, but mostly, it’s about when you are standing on the top of Deception and looking down at the city, and going, ‘Holy shit, me and my legs did that all by ourselves with no help,’” Carey says.

High-spirited races like Plaza2Peak have been popping up all over the country as people look for something more than the average 5K. “I’m sure if you look at the history of all these things, they were all started by people who loved the geography they lived in and had a ‘if some is good, more is better’ attitude,” Carey says.

Carey grew up in Albuquerque. Shortly after moving to Santa Fe, she started thinking about running up Hyde Park Road. For fun, she ran from her home near

Fort Marcy to and from Hyde State Park: “It was burly and hard and awesome,” she says.

Inventing new ways to run through and across the peaks, like linking ascents of Santa Fe Baldy with six other summits, became a way to explore and experience the backcountry.

These races entertain runners, but for a town like Santa Fe that’s looking to bump up its appeal as an outdoor sports destination—and in a state like New Mexico, where every little economic boost helps— it could be lifeblood. She points to the case study of Leadville, Colorado, a former mining town wilting as little more than a bedroom community for people who work at resort towns an hour’s drive away. Then the Leadville Race Series started, including the now-legendary 100-mile bike and running races. It now brings racers and tourism to the town most summer weekends.

Not surprisingly, Carey’s visions are no less ambitious. She credits, or blames, the model from her day job at WildEarth Guardians, where the practice is to set big, audacious goals so those every-so-often wins are truly awesome. She envisions a future in which Plaza2Peak draws 5,000 participants—why not, if the Mount Taylor Quad, in which racers bike, run, cross-country ski and snowshoe to the Mount Taylor summit near Grants, sees 2,000? Or it could become a franchise, with an event at Taos. Growing will, of course, require permits, police to facili-

Running, biking, and skiing from the Plaza to the top of Deception Peak might make for the best suffer-fest this town has to offer.

tate road closures and a fee structure a bit more formal than what’s historically been seen. Last year, it came down to asking participants to hand $20 to whoever was running the barbecue grill. (It’s $25 this year.)

For now, Carey expects about 25 people to show up this Saturday, April 15—including, of course, Carey herself.

She’s got that competitive edge leftover from time on the high school cross-country team, which she captained to their first of four state championships—after starting, she says, as “the slowest, fattest kid on the cross-country team” in middle school.

That drive has led her to finish second among women at the Leadville Heavy Half Marathon, and consistently in the top 10 for the Santa Fe Thunder half marathon.

In those competitions, she bemoans the notion that just completing a race is a victory. For an alternative view, she points to a race she entered alongside Emelie

Forsberg, who has finished first in several high-altitude, long-distance races in Europe.

“No one gets to play basketball with LeBron James, and I’m getting to stand on the same starting line as the woman who’s the best in the world at this sport, and I’m gonna know exactly how much slower I am than her,” Carey says. “I love that feeling and I wish more people were comfortable with competing as a way to get to know yourself.”

That’s not out of reach for anyone, she insists. It just takes longer to build. She thinks of her fitness, she jokes, as a pet: It has to be fed and taken out daily. Then, it can really take you places.

Renewable energy losses in state legislature slow down solar installations—and the jobs that come with them

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

N

Regina Wheeler, CEO of Positive Energy Solar, says these credits make a huge difference for customers, particularly lower income families. The math is simple, she says: “The cheaper you make solar, the more people can have it.”

Last year, when the residential tax credit program was fully allocated, she noticed a slowdown in sales and had to put off hiring five new employees.

“The residential solar industry will not collapse without solar tax credits, but it doesn’t grow as fast,” says Ben Shelton with Conservation Voters New Mexico. “The industry doesn’t

ot a single one of the bills to boost renewable power in New Mexico survived the legislative session, most dying in committee with the budget to blame. The one that did pass was winked out by the governor’s pen. Tax credits, a renewable portfolio standard for the state’s energy producers, solar garden permitting and a bill that would have required utilities to consider renewable energy when looking to increase generation were among the issues that failed to advance. Those most affected by the loss won’t be the big utilities, advocates argue. It’ll be lower-income families and job-seekers.

Environmental advocates saw the biggest loss in Senate Bill 312, which would have required utilities to ramp up renewable energy use each year to reach 80 percent by 2040.

“I think our politicians – Ben Shelton, are not entirely with where Conservation Voters New Mexico the public is,” says Sanders Moore, state director of Environment New Mexico.

“Many people would like to see a very bold goal, and 80 percent of our electricity from the major need this. People in New Mexico who utilities coming from renewables is a bold need jobs need this.”

A survey of 400 New Mexican voters goal.”

“It’s required to do if we want to have cited by Conservation Voters New Mexia livable climate and preserve human civ- co found they ranked solar, wind and reilization into the second half of the 20th newable energy as a business they’d like century—it is literally that serious,” says to see more of in the state.

The utility-scale price for wind and soTom Solomon, New Mexico’s co-coordinator for 350.org. “But it’s also just a tre- lar power has dropped 66 and 85 percent, mendous economic opportunity to New respectively, since 2008. But because utilities are monopolies, Solomon argues, Mexico.”

In 2016, 1,000 to 2,000 people worked driving a change to more renewables will in wind power in 2016 in New Mexico, ac- require legislation.

“We are literally in a race against time cording to the American Wind Energy Association. Solar energy was responsible to preserve our future,” he says. “If you for 2,929 jobs in New Mexico, according just leave it to utilities to do what they to The Solar Foundation. That represent- think is in their best business interest, it’s ed a 54 percent increase from the previ- not going to happen fast enough.”

That bill will be back in coming years— ous year, even with growth slowing after losing some state tax credits. Though perhaps after the next gubernatorial elecsolar prices drop 10 percent a year—the tion, but before the existing standard equivalent of the state’s tax credit— runs out in 2020.

The industry doesn’t need this. People in New Mexico who need jobs need this.

The failure to advance tax credits for residential and commercial solar installations, Wheeler says, was “not for lack of support, more for lack of time and budget issues.” That bill made it through the House, but not the Senate, where the battle over the budget delayed anything that would have affected the state’s coffers.

“The big takeaway for me was: oh my God, solar got a lot of bipartisan support, with [New Mexico Oil and Gas Association], PNM and the Association of Builders and Contractors all seeing that it’s good for New Mexico and good for the grid,” Wheeler says. So, those bills may also return.

The Senate Corporations and Transportation Committee became the graveyard for much of this legislation. The bills to provide tax credits for residential and commercial solar installations, tax cred-

its for production-scale renewable projects, and to increase the state’s renewable portfolio standard all died there. So did bills to encourage solar gardens renters can purchase shares of, to allow property owners to use their mortgages to finance renewable energy systems or water conservation projects, and to require utilities to participate in solar projects developed by smaller entities.

Sen. Clemente Sanchez, a Democrat from Grants, chairs that committee. He says he couldn’t get behind the renewable standard because the environmentalists and industry groups told him they hadn’t collaborated.

“I said, ‘Well, you guys need to get together and discuss some of this stuff,’” he tells SFR. “We can’t ram legislation down one group or another’s throat.”

The tax credits died, he says, “because of our budget situation. We don’t need to be giving any credits.”

Of the idea that these bills would have created jobs, he says, maybe that works in other places—but in his county, two current renewable projects don’t seem to be employing anyone. As for the local coal mine, the power plant and the paper mill, on the other hand: “Those are job creators.”

What he’s heard about the climate, which comes from his father, father-in-law and grandfather, is that these things are cyclical. The science behind it, as he says, is above his pay grade.

“It’s obvious that our climate is changing, but I can’t speak specifically to that,” he says. “I’m just sure glad we’re not in China. Look at their air quality over there.”

The bill that advanced to the governor’s desk would have required proposals for renewable energy to power New Mexico’s 700 state-owned buildings.

That shift could reduce utility bills for the state; when the City of Albuquerque ran the numbers on transitioning to 25 percent renewable power, they estimated the city would save $3.6 million a year.

Gov. Martinez vetoed that bill April 6.

“Renewables are going to continue to grow in New Mexico just because the potential is here,” Shelton says. “It’s matter of, do we want to just be in the pack or do we want to lead? The opportunity to lead is always there, but we didn’t see it in this legislative session. … Where you really prosper off of this kind of stuff is being out ahead of the pack.”

On a late afternoon in early spring, the Santa Fe Opera’s Crosby Theatre is empty but for a few birds fluttering in the rafters. All 2,128 seats in the iconic, open-air auditorium are draped with light brown covers that protect them from the winter elements. The plywood footprint of a set occupies the stage, but most of the summer’s productions are sprouting like seedlings deep in the foundation of the building. Down a flight of stairs in the costume shop, there’s a black mock turtleneck and a pair of blue jeans waiting on a rack. Another stairwell descends to the cavernous basement, where set pieces that resemble giant smartphones cluster in one corner. In July, the minimal, luminescent universe of Steve Jobs will emerge on the stage above.

The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs is a one-act, 90-minute production that’s slated to make its world premiere at the Santa Fe Opera this summer. It’s been in development for over two years, as the librettist, composer, director, actors and crew navigated the shadowy clockwork of an extraordinary life.

Since his death from pancreatic cancer in 2011, Apple’s darkly brilliant co-founder has been the subject of biopics, documentaries and biographies. As the modern myth of Jobs leaps art forms again, the opera is out to prove it can illuminate a new side of the story. (R)evolution tells the surprisingly raw tale of a genius who reinvented communication, but struggled to master human connection amid an illusory digital paradise.

COURTESY SANTA FE OPERA

“There are so many people who hated him,” Campbell says. “I thought, ‘Okay, how do I make him likable?’” As Campbell furthered his research, he gathered the threads of a redemption story. Jobs reconnected with his estranged daughter when she was a teenager, and expressed remorse for his failures as a father. His steely willpower could hurt the people around him, but it was accompanied by an unblinking confidence in human potential that frequently inspired and elevated them. With the help of his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, and his spiritual advisor, Kōbun Chino Otogawa, he learned to control his volatile temperament.

“When I found out Steve Jobs was a

Buddhist his entire adult life, that was a way into his story,” Campbell says. “I started reading about his relationship with his spiritual advisor, and found more ways to humanize this figure.” Campbell envisioned Kōbun, who died in 2002, as a sort of Ghost of Christmas Past to Jobs’ Ebenezer Scrooge.

In the libretto, Kōbun follows Jobs as he barrels back and forth across the decades, conjuring scenes from his life on the towering screens that surround them.

They leap from the launch of the first iPhone in 2007 to the invention of the Apple I computer with Steve Wozniak in his parents’ now-legendary garage in 1976.

WORDS “To be frank, I never would have chosen this project. It kind of chose me,” says librettist Mark Campbell. An opera’s libretto comprises a show’s written text, like a script for a movie. Grammy-nominated composer Mason Bates had selected Jobs as the subject of his first opera, and contacted Campbell to pitch a collaboration.

Campbell was a fan of Bates’ genre-shattering compositions incorporating classical music and electronica, such as the water-inspired symphony Liquid Interface (2007) and Alternative Energy, a sonic history of modern human industry from 2011. “It was the perfect match between the composer and the subject,” Campbell tells SFR. He signed on to the project and picked up a copy of Walter Isaacson’s 2011 biography, Steve Jobs. The New York Times bestseller is packed with spectacular tales of innovation. In his 56 years on the planet, Jobs was a driving force behind revolutionary advancements in personal computing, animated films, music, telephones and tablets. At product launches, Jobs charmed the world with a twinkle in his eye and history held aloft in one hand.

Between those triumphant moments onstage, however, Jobs often succumbed to his inner demons. He stole valuable ideas and vast fortunes from his most loyal friends, manipulating and backstabbing some of his hardest-working employees.

Perhaps most damning, when his girlfriend Chrisann Brennan got pregnant in 1977, Jobs denied that he was the father.

Even when faced with DNA evidence and forced to pay child support, he distanced himself from his daughter, Lisa Brennan-Jobs. “He was an enlightened being who was cruel,” said Chrisann, as quoted

by Isaacson.

orchard, and acts out his meet cute with Laurene.

The plot highlights some of Apple’s biggest innovations, but dwells on the personal highs and lows of Jobs’ life rather than his well-known professional achievements. Every scene is based in fact, though some details are shifted to heighten metaphor and symbolism. “I had to read all I could, put it aside, and create a fictional character,” Campbell explains.

The libretto plays with Jobs’ wry, cutting sense of humor and cracks numerous jokes at his expense. Jobs was famous for his extreme diets of fruit and vegetables (“You have to get better, and carrots alone—they ain’t doing the trick,” sings Laurene), his body odor (Chrisann labels him “anti-antiperspirant”) and his tyrannical perfectionism (“I need more gray,” Jobs pouts. “You’ve seen every color there is,” the ensemble retorts).

At just 90 minutes, it’s an opera for audiences whose attention spans have been eroded by the iPhone. “A lot of critics want opera to be long and boring and dull,” says Campbell. “They distrust reaching out to the audience. I don’t believe in opera as high art. I believe that it’s there for the people.” With the libretto complete, Bates set about composing a score to electrify Campbell’s words.

MUSIC There’s no direct mention of the iPod (or any Apple device, for copyright reasons) in The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs, but music’s ability to inspire is a pervasive theme. During Jobs’ psychedelic experience with Chrisann, he hears music emanating from a nearby field.

The scene is based on a memory Jobs recounted to Isaacson for his biography, and it translates perfectly to opera.

“Brass, reeds, branches, stones, grass,” Jobs muses. “The entire field … What is it playing? Bach!”

In a later scene, Jobs invites Laurene to a dinner date at his home in Palo Alto.

She’s weirded out by the space’s lack of furniture, but loves the Ansel Adams photographs that line his walls. “I can look at a fine art photograph and sometimes I can hear music,” Laurene sings.

She asks Jobs if he can hear music when he’s creating things. “Used to,” he responds.

The scene takes place in 1987, two years after Jobs resigned from (or, arguably, was forced out of ) Apple, and a decade before he was rehired. It’s an emotionally complex moment, landing at a difficult professional time for Jobs that also marked the beginning of personal growth and joy.

“Opera can go places that other forms cannot, because of the abstract aspect of music,” says Campbell. “Music allows us into more emotional places.

You can’t always access that by reading a book or watching a movie.”

In a common operatic device, Bates assigned each protagonist a musical motif. As the composer describes in a blog

NEED A PHYSICIAN? WE PROVIDE health care for THE entire family.

MATTHEW YOHE

post on his website, Jobs is accompanied by grand orchestral arrangements, “quicksilver” bursts of electronica and the earthy finger picks of an acoustic guitar. Kōbun’s sounds are ethereal, with the vibrations of Tibetan prayer bowls and Chinese gongs hanging like a veil above the electronic landscape.

“The key role in this journey is his wife Laurene, who acted as the electrical ‘ground’ to the positive and negative charges of Jobs,” Bates writes. “His buzzing inner energy made for a visionary of Jesus-like charisma, but he could quickly become a cold tyrant.” Laurene’s motif sends “slow-moving, oceanic harmonies” swirling through Jobs’ aural hot lava. Bates weaves different motifs together or pulls them apart as Jobs makes his halting journey towards compassion and empathy. “Jobs’ search for inner peace is the story of the opera,” Bates writes.

In the writing and composing process, Campbell and Bates wielded creative power that would be the envy of Jobs. In a single stroke of the pen, Campbell could conjure set pieces that would later take months to realize. As Bates dreamed up arias, he was building an obstacle course of vocal acrobatics that the performers would soon practice to perfection.

“I got a little bit of the music, and it was intriguing for me vocally because it’s pretty high,” says Edward Parks, a baritone who auditioned for the role of Steve Jobs in winter 2015. He got the part, and joined Bates, Campbell and director Kevin Newbury for workshops in San Francisco and Santa Fe.

DESIGN In a humble conference room at the Santa Fe Opera, tiny models of each set for this summer’s productions are nestled on shelves lining one wall. The set design for (R)evolution is by far the most minimal: six thin rectangular boxes that are 12 feet high and 6 feet wide will dominate the stage, sliding around on a giant grid to create different spaces. One side of each box features a giant white panel resembling a smartphone screen that will glow in different colors, and opposite side is covered in black material.

For the production’s opening scene, the black sides of the boxes enclose the dusty garage where Paul Jobs gives his adopted son Steve a workbench for his 10th birthday. Later, as Jobs wanders the hills around Cupertino with Kōbun, the boxes part to reveal the fiery New Mexico sunset on the mountains far beyond the stage. The process for moving the pieces

STEVE DARIO ACOSTA FOR SANTA FE OPERA

Early on in the process, Parks grappled with the darker parts of Jobs’ story.

“I have a young daughter. She’s two years old,” he tells SFR. “I can’t even really fathom how Jobs treated his daughter, but it’s also very intriguing as an actor to try to humanize that emotion and choice. It probably drove him crazy that he wasn’t in control of that.”

Parks devoured anecdotes from Jobs’ personal life, intent on breaking past the barrier of his public persona. He watched the 2015 film Steve Jobs, which was inspired by Isaacson’s book, but found the plot’s rigid backbone of product launches dissatisfying. “He had an image at work, and that image wasn’t so good,” Parks says. “But he also had a life with his wife and kids. Towards the end of his life, he was grappling with mortality. That’s an interesting character, and one that you can connect with.”

Campbell’s non-chronological plot allows Parks to mine raw emotion from dramatic points in Jobs’ life, but the time-hopping is serious a test of performative endurance. Parks appears as Jobs in all but one of the opera’s 18 scenes. “I almost never leave the stage. There might be a moment when I can sneak off and drink some water,” Parks says. He’s been parsing Jobs’ emotional state scene by scene: One moment he must evoke an arrogant 20-something, and in the next a wiser man in the later years of his life. “I don’t necessarily think about what comes after or what comes before,” says Parks.

It’s a feat akin to Zen meditation, which challenges practitioners to fully occupy the present moment. “Be still, Steve,” advises Kōbun in the opera’s final scene. “Simplify. Simplify.”

“I can’t even really fathom how Jobs treated his daughter,” says Edward Parks.

To be frank, I never would have chosen this project. It kind of chose me.

-Mark Campbell, librettist

is purely analog, with the ensemble and stage crew collaborating to slide them across the grid. There’s also cutting-edge digital technology at work: infrared beacons on the top corners of each box communicate with projectors in the opera’s rafters to line up images on the glowing planes.

“Think of it just like your phone,” says Paul Horpedahl, the opera’s production and facilities director. “They might glow to show you that they’re alive, and then different imagery can start popping out.”

Horpedahl and a skeleton crew experimented over the winter with different

materials that could make the boxes glow, and they’ve since decided to line the interior of each box with hundreds of miles of LED tape.

The safety and durability of the set was another question, as the Santa Fe Opera’s stage is exposed to the elements. On a stormy night, the boxes could become massive wind sails if they weren’t properly locked into the grid. “There’s all of these things we have to accomplish, that we wouldn’t necessarily have to accomplish if we were indoors,” says Horpedahl. Then there’s the infrared technology, which is a first for SFO. When Horpedahl’s full crew comes in later this month, they’ll test and finesse the system.

There’s a dark irony to the set design as it pertains to the opera’s plot—and to our contemporary interactions with technology. Jobs’ world is filled with hard surfaces that create the illusion of familiarity.

Are Apple’s gadgets bringing us closer together, or holding us just far enough away from the joy and chaos of reality?

The question already seems overcooked, even though we’re still in the dawn of the Digital Age. For better or worse, it’s impossible to imagine a world in which our iPhones aren’t always an arm’s length away.

LAUNCH “Can I ask you all to turn off your phones?” sings Jobs at the outset of (R)evolution.

His request turns out to be a sales ploy for the first iPhone. “You’ll want to throw out your old junk anyway,” he adds a few lines later. In the opera’s finale, set at Jobs’ memorial service, Laurene makes a more sincere plea. Ghostly manifestations of Jobs and Kōbun observe her as she sings.

“After this is over, the very second this is over … everyone will reach, reach in their pockets,” Laurene laments. “I’m not sure Version 2.0 of [Steve] would want that.

Version 2.0 might say: ‘Look up, look out, look around.’”

“That came from Charles MacKay,” says Campbell, referring to the Santa Fe Opera’s general director. “His only directive to me was, ‘Mark, I don’t care what you write in this libretto, but I really want the audience to think about it for a moment when they reach in and grab their phones.”

And so is the curator of upcoming exhibit Naked in Santa Fe. “I’m not always excited when I curate a show,” says John O’Hern, “and I am really excited to see this.” Get ready to look at a ton of naked parts through the eyes of 12 local artists including Michael Bergt, Carol Mothner and Patti Levey.

Musing over nude works, your mind probably references Botticelli’s “The Birth of Venus” or Manet’s “Olympia.” But some of these Santa Feans’ works take a more close-up approach to penises; your eyeballs will get intimate with wrinkles and folds that aren’t often explored. “I’ve curated exhibitions of figurative art for decades,” O’Hern tells SFR, “and I was surprised to find a wide variety of interpretations of the nude figure by artists here in Santa Fe.” (Maria Egolf-Romero) Naked in Santa Fe: 6 pm Saturday April 15.

What’s in a Name?

Teddy No Name rocks the decks for her own damn birthday “My friends surprise me every year with one,” Albuquerque-based DJ Erika Harris, aka Teddy No Name, says of her annual birthday bash, which sometimes goes down in Santa Fe, sometimes in Albuquerque. “I got offered to play this year in Santa Fe, which is great because I’m from there and it will be exciting to reconnect with all my Santa Feans.”

Harris says she grew up in love with underground electronic music, drum and bass and the like, but with a group of friends who mostly rocked hip-hop, she missed out on the admittedly small (yet powerful) local rave scene of yesteryear. “I was kind of in the closet listening to my drum and bass,” she says, “but my love for the electronic underground scene and learning how to DJ inspired me.”

You’d hardly know she’s only been at it six years, and though she’s evolved from vinyl to CDJs in that time, she still calls her Techniks turntables her babies.

“I’ve done it all,” she says of her years performing at parties. But what about the name?

“It’s a funny, long story that’s maybe not appropriate for the Reporter,” Harris says with a laugh, “but it kind of blew up and nobody knew if I was a boy or a girl. … They started making me teddy logos and bringing teddy bears to shows, which was too funny because I’m not, like, connected with teddy bears.”

Regardless, the focus is on the dancing, and Harris says that drum and bass and its cousin styles have touched her soul. We totally get the whole primal connection to this kind of music thing.

“I hope everyone can come out and celebrate with me,” Harris adds. “Tell them something along the lines of how much I appreciate people still coming out and keeping it alive.” We’ll let ‘em know, Teddy. And happy b-day! (Alex De Vore)

Love is Blind Ithaca’s The Blind Spots may just surprise you

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

T

he scene will probably go a little something like this: Band climbs onstage at Boxcar, front woman with shockingly powerful voice belts out like a motherfucker, audience remembers they enjoy honest, solid rock ’n’ roll played with actual instruments (think Blondie meets Springsteen but with a singer who probably wore her Big Brother and the Holding Company tape to nothingness as a youth) and everyone everywhere politely agrees to forget that unfortunate quote on their website from such-and-such Northeast promoter that proudly proclaims they’ve shared the stage with “Blues Traveler and other acts of that caliber” as if that were an accomplishment any place outside of some state fairground or 1996.

This is The Blind Spots, and they’ll sneak up on you.

I mean, the Ithaca, New York, “moxyrock” quintet (their descriptor—which, according to front woman/lyricist Maddy Walsh, is more about being specific when it comes to genrefication) sure isn’t about breaking brand new ground or outright blowing minds, but if they’re one thing, it’s infectious.

“The word ‘moxy’ itself kind of means to do something with gusto, and indie-pop kind of has a close semblance to what we do. But indie-pop is kind or more like a lot of the shoegazer types and maybe not as uptempo as what we do,”

Singer-songwriter Maddy Walsh is full of moxy or some-such.

Walsh says. “I felt like rock ’n’ roll was a little too ‘classic rock’ for us, so it’s kind of like helping ourselves out with genre and branding.”

Walsh is prolific as hell. In a previous life, she went the more rootsy/Americana route as a poet and solo musician (Walsh has a masters degree in English).

But, since the formation of The Blind Spots, which also features her husband on guitar, things have spread out when it comes to songwriting practices and the final product. Even a few minutes on their bandcamp page operates like a mini-tour of their wildly varied sounds, and you’ve gotta love a band that tries hard (and generally succeeds) in honing a varied repertoire without seeming unfocused.

Elements from rock, pop, Americana, country and even reggae peek out from their songs. There’s plenty of synth to be found as well, but Walsh says the evo-

lution has been organic. “It’s just kind of where the music went, and it would be such a sad thing to think you can’t be openly creative and you can only do one thing because that’s what your band is supposed to sound like,” she explains.

Granted, she’s a little sick of being compared to female singer-songwriters simply because they’re also women who play music, but she’s still a Jenny Lewis fan (because who the hell isn’t) and says her favorite compliment came from a biker who likened her style to Joe Cocker. “I’ve heard Blondie before, now that you mention it. … It’s pop music, but it’s quirkier than just Top 40 pop music,” says Walsh. “When we choose to do a cover because we’re playing a festival and want to do something special, I’ll almost always choose something with a male singer like Zeppelin or AC/DC.” Regardless, The Blind Spots have plenty of original material to cull from,

and they’ve recently wrapped bass and drum tracks for a forthcoming album.

Walsh says they’re whittling down the final track listing from 19 new songs (that’s a lot, if you didn’t know), some of which were written while the band was stuck for 16 days in the Coachella Valley after a particularly disastrous vehicle breakdown.

“We might ultimately choose to release something that packs more of a punch, and I think a lot of the new stuff is certainly going to be heading in that direction,” Walsh says. “I started to think, ‘Hey, wait a second! This is my band, and I can make it sound like whatever I’d like!’”

Art and greenhouses—together at last!

Artology

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

I

f you’re trying to self-fund an art space, here’s an idea: Buy a burned-out building. Fixer-uppers are highly affordable, and smoke damage is an edgy aesthetic. That’s how Andrea Polli and John Donalds landed a 1940s home near the intersection of Agua Fría and Baca Street to establish a project space called Biocultura.

“There’s one space we call the Burn Room, and any time we show it to artists they say, ‘This is so beautiful!’” says Polli.

She’s a professor of art and ecology at the University of New Mexico, and Donalds is an architectural designer. The couple has collaborated on built structures that act as incubators for biological art projects. When Polli went on sabbatical in the spring semester of this year, they jumped at the chance to create a forum for artists, scientists and the public to converge.

They’ve been living in the house as they renovate it and prepare for Biocultura’s opening event, which takes place on Thursday.

“Biology affects us in everyday life,” Polli says. “I come from a computer background, and I can separate that from my life—but biology affects the food that I eat and the people around me. It affects my dog.” A primary focus of Biocultura

Santa Fe was an ideal place for the project because it’s a center of contemporary art, and close to two major national laboratories.

Polli and Donalds have repaired much of the fire damage and are preparing to furnish the space with lab equipment; now all they need are people who are ready to roll up their sleeves—and surrender to natural forces. “Biology is messy,” Polli muses. “Things happen that you don’t expect.”

Biocultura’s first event is a presentation and roundtable discussion titled “Lakota Cosmology Meets Particle Physics: Converging Worldviews.” Agnes Chavez, the Taos new media artist and educator who organized the project, has collaborated with Polli in various capacities to advance STEAM education efforts. STEAM is a takeoff on the acronym STEM, which stands for science, technology, education and math; the added “a” stands for arts. When Chavez heard about Biocultura, she asked Polli to host one leg of a collaborative education project she’s been developing.

“I’ve been working on a project for six years called Projecting Particles, which is a series of installations and workshops that use projection art to explore and communicate topics in particle physics,” says Chavez. She utilizes a tablet app called Tagtool, developed by Austrian artist Markus Dorninger, to project visual representations of scientific concepts in public spaces. Workshop participants– often groups of teens—manipulate the imagery to better understand the Higgs

Project space devoted to art and science springs up on Agua Fría

is the burgeoning, interdisciplinary field known as bio art and design. Polli took an interest in exploring biology through her work when she moved from New York City to Albuquerque in January 2009.

“When you live in a big city like that, you don’t have as much control over your lifestyle because there’s so much pressure to conform to the culture,” Polli tells SFR. In New Mexico, she and Donalds took an interest in gardening, composting and brewing beer and sake—all pursuits that rely on biological knowledge. “I started thinking, ‘Well, how does that way of life become a form of art?’” She began experimenting with cells as a sculptural material, cultivating ever-changing artworks that live and die.

Polli sees bio art and design as an access point for regular people to understand how scientific advancements are affecting our lives. That’s why she and Donalds situated Biocultura in an approachable, domestic space. “Synthetic biology and biotechnology are changing our genetics,” she cautions. “Non-scientist people don’t know about that, and there’s a barrier to understanding what’s going on. Art can be a channel to understand some of those things.”

Biocultura aims to further the couple’s educational mission by hosting workshops, panels and art installations that demystify complex scientific concepts.

boson particle, the observer effect and other scientific concepts and phenomena.

In the latest round of the project, Chavez has teamed up with the Taos Integrated School for the Arts to engage fourth- and fifth-graders in a special version of the workshop. With grant money from the Martin Foundation and nuclear research organization CERN, she’ll teach a two-day course with physicist Dr. Steve Goldfarb, Lakota artist and educator Steve Tamayo and Tewa educator Dr. Greg Cajete. The class will construct a Lakota tipi and discover links between theories of particle physics and Indigenous knowledge systems by using Tagtool to project animations on its interior walls.

“What we need now is an ecological philosophy, where a Western science worldview joins with a Native worldview,” says Chavez. “We have to deal with this idea that we are connected with nature, or we are not going to survive as a species.” After the workshop with the kids, Goldfarb, Tamayo, Cajete and Chavez plan to present a video of the process and host roundtable conversations in Taos, Española and Santa Fe. Biocultura is the last stop on the tour.

The free event is by registration only, so head to the website (URL below) to save a seat. A second launch event, Earth Optimism Santa Fe, takes place at the space on April 23.

and initiates sex as often as I do. Just cuddling with me gets him hard. Which is why I’m even more perplexed. He doesn’t like to talk about the Craigslist incident and gets upset when I bring it up. Should I leave it alone? Is my boyfriend secretly gay?

-Confused And Curious I’ve read your column for as long as I had access to the internet and was interested in sex, so here goes: I’m a 27-year-old male with a 42-year-old girlfriend. We met at work; we were both going through divorce. At the beginning, holy moly! My dream girl in the bedroom. We’ve been together for a year, and the sex is still the best I’ve ever had—she says she feels the same—but it’s vanilla. I am assertive and in-control in the bedroom, which works for both of us, as she prefers to be passive and wants me to make moves or switch it up. I want to do other things, but she doesn’t want to do anything anymore other than missionary-position sex. Anal, oral, watching porn together, bondage, voyeurism—she’s not up for any of it. There’s always an excuse: “I’m not young like you,” “I’m not flexible like you,” “I have done that before and don’t like it, no, no, no.” Do I just suck it up and be grateful for what I have or what?

-She Hates Options Totally, Desires One Way Now She wants you to be in control and switch it up but doesn’t want to do any of the things you suggest when you take control and attempt to switch things up. Hmm. Either you’re bad at everything you’ve attempted other than missionary, SHOTDOWN, or she has a very limited sexual repertoire and/or actual physical limitations or health issues she hasn’t divulged to you.

Considering the age difference here, and considering that this is a post-divorce rebound relationship for you both, the odds are stacked against anything long-term. I don’t mean this relationship is doomed to fail. What I mean is this: You’ll probably be together for another year or two before parting ways. While most people would define that as a “failed relationship,” anyone who’s been reading my column for as long as he’s been interested in sex can tell you that I don’t define failure that way. If two people are together for a time, if they enjoy each other’s company (and genitals), if they part amicably and always remember each other fondly and/or remain friends, their relationship can be counted as a success— even if both parties get out of it alive and go on to form new relationships.

In the meantime, SHOTDOWN, enjoy the amazing vanilla sex for as long as it lasts— which could be forever. Anyone who’s been reading my column for as long as he’s been interested in sex knows that I’m not always right.

My BF and I have been dating for two years.

He’s 21; I’m 20 (and female). When I noticed my boyfriend wanted his ass played with and liked being submissive, I couldn’t help but wonder if something more was going on. I snooped through his browser history (not my proudest moment) and found he was looking at pictures of naked men. Then I saw he posted an ad on Craigslist under “men seeking men.” He responded to one person, saying he wasn’t sure if he was straight or bi, but he had a car and could drive over! The guy responded saying how about tonight, and my BF never responded to him. I confronted him.

He explained it was just a fantasy he had, he’s totally straight, and he was never planning on going through with it. After the dust settled, he told me he never wanted to lose me. We then went to a sex shop and bought a strapon dildo for me to use on him, which we both really enjoy. He bought me a diamond bracelet as an apology and promised never to fuck up again. A couple months have passed, and things are great, but I still feel bothered. He loves my tits, ass, and pussy. He eats me out

Let’s review the facts: Your boyfriend digs your tits, cuddling you makes him hard, and he loves eating your pussy. You also discovered an ad your boyfriend posted to Craigslist where he said he wasn’t sure if he was bi or straight, a discovery that created a crisis in your relationship, a crisis that was resolved with a strap-on dildo and a diamond bracelet.

Your boyfriend isn’t “secretly gay,” CAC, he’s “actually bisexual.” You know, like he said he was—or said he might be (but totally is)— in that e-mail exchange you found.

At this point, I’m required to tell you that bisexuals are just as capable of honoring monogamous commitments as monosexuals, i.e., gays, lesbians, and breeders. But since the data shows that monosexuals are bad at monogamy—the data says bisexuals are too— I’m not sure why I’m required to say that or how it’s supposed to be comforting. But even if your boyfriend never has sex with a man, CAC, even if it takes him years to drop the “totally straight” line, you should go ahead and accept the fact that your boyfriend is bisexual.

Pretend to be shocked when he finally comes out to you—there might be a necklace in it for you—and then get busy setting up your first MMF threesome.

My girlfriend and I have been together for about 18 months. We’re both 29 and are in the process of creating a future together: We live together, we have a great social life, we adopted a dog. We’re compatible, and I do love her.

However, our sex life could be a whole lot better. I like sex to be kinky, and she likes it vanilla. She is adamant about monogamy, while I want to be monogamish. I feel strongly that this is who I am sexually and my sexual desires are not something I can change. My girlfriend thinks I’m searching for something I’ll never find and says I need to work through it. Because we are so compatible in every other aspect of our relationship, should I keep trying to work past the unsatisfying sex?

Needs Advice, Want Threesomes Divorce courts are filled to bursting with couples who made the same mistake you and your girlfriend are currently making—a mistake that gets harder to unmake with every dog you adopt or lease you sign. You’re not sexually compatible, NAWT—and sexual incompatibility is a perfectly legitimate reason to end an otherwise good relationship. The importance of sexual compatibility in sexually exclusive relationships (the kind your girlfriend wants) cannot be stressed enough. Sexual compatibility is important in open and/or monogamish relationships too, of course, but there are work-arounds in an open relationship.

The gaslight bar is set so low these days that I’m going to go ahead and accuse your girlfriend of gaslighting you: There are people out there who have the kind of relationship you would like to have—it’s a lie that no one has a GGG partner or a successful monogamish relationship—and I have it on good authority that many of these people are straight. You’ll never find everything you want, NAWT, since no one gets everything they want. But you’re too young to settle for the girlfriend you’ve got.

You’ve already made the dog mistake. Get out before you make the child mistake.

ALEX DE VORE

If you’ve been down the the Railyard in the last however- long, you’ve gotta admit that things are looking up for the wide-open community space—and we’re talkin’ about the park, too. Featuring anything from live music, arts festivals, the Farmers Market, yoga and free movies to private events, SFR parties and more, what was once a super-terrifying tetanus-threatening dirt alleyway has grown into a community institution. And at the heart of all things Railyard and all things good is Director of Events and Marketing Sandy Brice. In fact, if you’ve seen, bought or experienced something in the Railyard, you can pretty much thank Sandy for engaging with the community, keeping track of a bazillion things and being one of the most community-minded human beings we’ve ever met.

With summer on the horizon, we sat down with Brice to see what’s up this year. (Alex De Vore) So what’re you up to day-to-day while so much is going on?

Well, just today I was fielding calls for a party in the park, finishing permitting for concerts, working with a monthly yoga workshop and the branding campaign for our new Wednesday night in the Railyard. The Farmers Market is going to launch a night market starting June 21, which will happily be in conjunction with the return of the Santa Fe Music Alliance’s Make Music Santa Fe concert. We just thought it would be nice to get a little bump during the week.

Is there anything else coming up you’re particularly excited about?

Where do I even start? Three things leap to mind immediately, which are the return of the Bike ’n’ Brew fest on May 19 and 20. The wonderful new organization and market called SEEDS will be a wonderful three-day Indigenous arts market, and [the organizers] are really remarkable women. We’re also thrilled that AMP Concerts was awarded that Levitt grant and will have a more regular schedule every Saturday night. And those are just the highlights. There’s also the Currents festival. ... I have a hard time picking favorites because they’re all so great now.

So you’re saying there’s more going on this year than ever?

Oh yeah. We’ve got 11 concerts and several one-offs; the AHA Festival is scheduled for September. There’s [Ukrainian eclectic folk band] DakhaBrakha. Ian Moore is coming. There’s Surfer Bloos and the Oasis Fest with teen bands. El Ten Eleven is coming too, and we’re working with the Railyard tenants to turn all their lights off during that show and there will be a video projection happening at the same time. And just because I have the plaza booked doesn’t mean the park isn’t available for events. It’s that amazing that a lot of people don’t realize that’s part of the Railyard?

We have the same fees and same permitting, same rules as every other city park, it’s just that you give me a call instead of the city. It’s so great that we’re at that point of support; we can program the whole season with confidence.

Kimonomoji: Wrap Yourself in Happiness STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO m a r i a @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

here is something about a social prescription for acceptability (like the abhorrence for wearing white after Labor Day, or not drinking before noon, or expecting women of a certain age to be married and pregnant) that feels weighty and restrictive, especially when it comes to fashion. Your clothing choices, as all choices should be, are your own. No blouse is too low-cut; some people are just assholes. Personally, I use fashion as a means of expression, and this can go way beyond dark colors when one feels moody or pastels for the spring.

This season, models drifted down catwalks in outfits bucking notions of fashion propriety, experimenting with giving the aesthetic middle finger. From blatant statement tees in support of gender freedom and feminism paired with fulllength tulle skirts, to the free-the-nipple craze, which resurrected ’70s-era ribbone-bearing low-cut tops as a thumbsup to feminine sexuality, there’s a general movement in fashion that encourages one to be and do and wear what they want.

come with) and a robe can make a beautiful summer blouse with a bandeau underneath, or a swim cover for a lake day. Wear them over a hoodie or with a dress. Their uses are really endless, and a good one is an asset every season.

Kimonos are also a great way to add a rare or vibrant textile to your closet, which might not be as wearable featured

Like the current obsession with everything silk and satin or wearing underwear as outerwear—because why should lace and silk be relegated to the bedroom?

Robes are uncomplicated items to add to your closet, and they can fall in line with the pajama trend if you choose a satin version. Wearing something that makes others double-take or question the “acceptability” of your outfit means you’re on track to being a bit of a fashion punk. Who is anyone to say you can’t wear a beautiful flowered silk robe over your jeans?

Did you read the last Bed Head about Georgia O’Keeffe and her amazing sense of minimal style (March 29: “Existential Style”)? We are again nodding to her brilliance with this endorsement of wrappy, mid-length kimono-like layers. The iconic painter knew they’re a lovely way to play with length and texture, and they’re comfortable, so you can actually move around in them.

Add a belt or tie (which many

in a different piece. It’s much harder to rock a Latin-inspired pair of woven pants than it is to play with that same textile in a kimono.

There’s that too-often-quoted thing Coco Chanel said about looking in the mirror on your way out the door and removing one accessory, but I am going the other way with this. Look in the mirror before you leave the house and add a kimono. They’re fabulous and go with nearly anything.

Light outerwear layers are the kinds of things for which one can spend a lifetime searching. Make a habit of peeking in eclectic shops and corner boutiques to find the one that’s right for you. Kimonos come in pretty much every fabric and color you can imagine, so some will fit your aesthetic better than others. Don’t settle for the wrong one.

A good kimono that fits your vibe is like the perfect leather jacket: a layer you’ll rely on so much that it will become a natural part of your dressing routine.

There are local kimono-friendly spots, like Underpinnings (150 Washington Ave., 983-9103), which focuses on weararound-the-house items. You may be brave enough to rock one out of the house, too. Or dive into AGNES via their dreamy Instagram account (@wearagnes), which features locally designed, handmade unisex kimonos in indigo, sky pink and burgundy-patterned natural textiles. Search for a wrappy piece at the spring market hosted by Betterday Coffee (905 W Alameda St., 780-8059) this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (10 am-5 pm). With a ton of local vendors and some vintage clothing options, you may luck out.

We pay the most for your gold coins, heirloom jewelry and diamonds!

FOOD

Here Comes Easter Must be jelly, ’cause jam don’t shake

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

T

here are certain times of the year that many American families have “traditional” meals. New Years = sauerkraut or black eyed peas. Christmas = ham. Thanksgiving = turkey. Potato salad shows up at every family reunion or non-holiday event, including funerals.

Easter is a holiday I don’t really engage with much. My family did the basket of candy/bunnies/egg hunt thing, but we were areligious. We usually had a dinner of ham and potatoes. I remember lots of fluffy rolls that came out of a can with a doughboy on the side. I’m sure we got out the special tablecloth—not the one with poinsettias on it, obviously, but the plain green one.

These meals are “special” in their whole family-at-the-table-ness. My mother is a good cook, do not misunderstand, but a slab of ham and some au gratin are not particularly rare to come by in a family from central Pennsylvania that’s living in the UK. I want to share two dishes that are traditional Easter fare and that I also love, one from England and one from Mexico.

English cuisine is meat and potato-based, bland, utilitarian. Heavy

Real, homemade mint jelly is not green. Don’t let the dyed supermarket stuff trick you.

and caloric, you can drink while downing it. There are a few areas of UK food that shine. Sweets (which I will come back to some other time) and weird/awesome condiments.

At Easter you have roast lamb with mint jelly. My simple recipe for mint jelly is great with lamb or pork but also works on hearty whole wheat bread or as a filling in cookies.

MICHAEL’S STUPID-GOOD MINT JELLY

• 2 cups fresh mint • 2 cups water • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice • 2 cups sugar • 3 oz liquid pectin (or 2 tsp Pomona’s Universal Pectin powder and the accompanying 2 tsp calcium water)

Take the mint with stems and add to the water in a blender. Blend until the mint is finely chopped. Bring this to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and let steep for 45-50 min., or one episode of Legion. Are you watching Legion?

Start while making this.

BELOW: Capirotada is made of the three main food groups: bread, sugar and butter.

1

from the East Coast to throw a Dia de los Muertos party.

TRADITIONAL CAPIROTADA

• 2 bolillos (or baguettes) • 4 ½ cups water • 12 oz Piloncillo (or 1 ½ cups dark brown sugar) • 4 cinnamon sticks • 6-10 whole cloves • 1 cup golden raisins • 4 tbsp butter

After steeping, strain well and voila: you should have 2 cups of mint tea. Put this in a medium saucepan and add the lemon juice. If you are using Pomona’s, pre-mix the calcium water into the lemon juice. Bring this to a boil.

2

Add sugar and stir until the mixture returns to a boil. If using Pomona’s, premix pectin powder into the sugar. If using liquid pectin, it goes in after the sugar, once the mix has returned to a boil. Let cook for 1 minute then remove from heat.

If you use Pomona’s you can get away with cutting the sugar down to ½ cup if you want a tart, low-cal version.

3

Pour liquid into jars. I use 4-oz Ball jars so I can gift the results. The jelly should keep up to four days. If you are into canning, you can water-bathe the jars to seal them. They will last up to a year unopened. Refrigerate once opened though.

4

I’ve lived in Santa Fe off and on for nearly two decades. I’ve come to love New Mexican cooking. I find the deserts to be especially interesting. The use of cheese is such a good idea, but a lot of people freak out about it.

Capirotada is bread pudding served on Good Friday. I had it for the first time at a misguided attempt by some kids

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cut up the bolillo (or baguette) into ½-inch discs. Butter both sides of the pieces and bake for 3 minutes on each side on a cookie sheet. Combine the water, piloncillo, cinnamon and cloves in a large saucepan. Bring this to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer for 20 minutes. It should resemble a light syrup. Remove from heat and let steep for 2 hours.

Strain the mixture.

1

2 Lightly butter a 8-by-10 ½ inch baking dish and layer ingredients in this order: bread, raisins, cheese, 1 ½ cups syrup. Let it hang for 10 minutes. Then do a second layer. Then a third. Let the whole thing sit for 15 minutes—which adds up to a second episode of Legion.

Seriously, watch it.

Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake until the cheese is golden brown. Serve this warm with ice cream or fresh whipped cream.

Little Boxes Review Big questions, small protagonist

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

The latest directorial effort from Rob Meyer (Aquarium) follows a non-traditional narrative of a biracial pre-teen coming of age in a predominantly white neighborhood. Premiering at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival, Little Boxes centers around issues of race, class and privilege, proving a modest look at life’s little injustices.

While the storyline attempts to present an honest, relatable interpretation of the terrible teen years, the acting falls short on an otherwise great script. Meyer still manages to capture the heartache and harrowing realities of growing up outside the norm through a multiracial lens, regardless of the cast’s demure and stagnant characterization.

Between a food critic father and modern artist mother, Clark (Armani Jackson, The Last Witch Hunter) is raised among creative city-dwellers who teach him to reject conformity. While the familial connection between his mom Gina (Melanie Lynskey of Togetherness)

and dad Mack (True Blood’s Nelsan Ellis) may not have been authentically warm or believable, the seemingly close family learns to acclimate to the drastically different domesticity that comes with living in a new super-white and super-weird suburban community.

After a move that’s supposed to seem stressful (but somehow only took all of two scenes), Gina and Mack drop old habits, like watching their child and smoking cigarettes, and quickly replace their regular coping mechanisms with new vices: day-drinking and angry home renovation. Noticing his parents spiraling out of control, Clark seeks solidarity with his new friend group—two

little white girls with an affinity for rap music. Unfortunately, he soon discovers that to be considered cool in his town he needs to act “more black.”

Succumbing to peer pressure, disappointing his parents and ultimately learning how to think for himself, Clark’s character transformation throughout the film provides representation to a more diverse and dynamic audience, even if his parents kind of suck.

perceived to be white, living in a fictitious Asian-inspired foggy inferno fighting amongst themselves.

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

Director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) has created a new and improved manic pixie robot dream girl who does little to distract from the racist and overly sexualized adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s 1989 manga of the same name. Just start there instead. (Kendall Mac) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 107 min.

++ THERE’S A DOG -- WHITEWASHING

Strap in for yet another blockbuster blunder.

Scarlett Johansson’s (Avengers) latest motion picture dumpster fire, Ghost in the Shell, explores a not-so-distant-future where technology runs the lives of everyone in a racially ambiguous world.

Major Mira Killian, portrayed by Johansson, is created and outfitted with a completely synthetic robotic body but controlled by a human brain.

Her soul (the eponymous “ghost”) is trapped inside a cybernetic cage (the eponymous “shell”), rendering her an obedient, emotionless drone subject to her commander’s orders. Throughout the entirety of the film it is apparent that Major truly cannot trust anyone and that you probably should have just gone to see Boss Baby.

Serving as an invisible assassin, fighting machine-gun misogyny with straight bangs and a rebel-without-a-cause attitude, Johansson’s performance does little to create a genuine connection with an audience. This film is actually an awful attempt to subliminally solidify whiteness as an indication of power through flashy graphics and obvious objectification of women.

ing single-cell organism unlike any intergalactic inhabitant ever seen. The malevolent Martian begins to fight back against its captors with gnarly open-mouth kisses and floating spacecraft bloodshed. This film’s ever-evolving extraterrestrial assassin will surely make you glad you’re seated safely on Earth, maybe for the first time since election night.

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

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

Espinosa does pick up extra credit for including underappreciated international stars like Hiroyuki Sanada (Game of Chance), Rebecca Ferguson (The Girl on the Train), Olga Dihovichnaya (Twilight Portrait) and Ariyon Bakare (The Dark Knight), rather than center on the survival of one character. Yet, by the end of the film, Hugh Derry (played by Bakare) will probably go down in movie history as the worst fictional astroscientist.

Turns out, when you are emotionally invested in more than one character, it makes the inevitable internalization of “Who’s going to make it out alive?!” even more unbearable. The last five minutes of the movie alone make the film worth the down payment necessary for popcorn and a small soda. (KM) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 103 min.

thoughtful, young woman (Emma Watson) who inevitably falls in love despite the meager machismo and brutish advances of resident asshole Gaston (Luke Evans from Fast & Furious 6). With the help of his house staff, Lumière (Trainspotting’s Ewan McGregor), Cogsworth (Lord of the Rings’ Ian McKellen) and Mrs. Potts (Love Actually’s Emma Thompson), the Beast is able to prove he’s worthy of Belle’s love through manipulation and coercion.

Spoiler alert: The two lead characters inevitably fall in love and Gaston is the winner of the No Belle Prize.

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

Modern romance.

While the introduction of new songs, bright colors and subtle hints of Lafou’s queerness (portrayed by Book of Mormon’s Josh Gad) were distracting from the ragtag bunch of feeble fellas this film has to offer, Belle’s line rang true that “there must be more than this provincial life.” Perhaps

The most recent Hollywood take on the giant ape himself, King Kong, should have left us with a monstrous hunger for more. Instead, it feels like a souped-up version of Honey I Shrunk the Kids meets the third or fourth Jurassic Park all set to the soundtrack of Good Morning, Vietnam.

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

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

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

The story is not supposed to be complicated, but did it have to be so predictable? Did the filmmakers have to write in one more female journalist (Brie Larson, Rampart) who seems to have brought too few clothes for a jungle mission?

Why on earth didn’t she put her hair in ponytail while she tried to take pictures from the open door of the ‘Nam helicopter? And, oh no, why does she go from detesting to flirting with the ex-military expedition leaders in a matter of minutes? Wait for it: Why is she looking so lovingly into Kong’s terrifying red eyes?

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

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

While this is really the bajillionth in a series of long, sometimes-overproduced and complicated tales in the X-Men franchise, it’s true that you don’t really need a lot of backstory to follow along. Wolverine is tired. He coughs and limps. He works as a chauffeur and carries businessmen and bachelorette parties in a limo around a city that resembles El Paso. But like a lot of those battling the marching of time (read: all of us), he’s got some bigger fights ahead.

It’s not just ol’ Wolvie who’s aging, but also Professor X (Patrick Stewart). Once the teacher/ savior/organizer for mutants, now it’s X who needs protecting. But what happens when a man whose brain can stop time develops dementia? It’s what

“Hey, Belle. Have you seen my platinum rhinoceros and my golden giraffe?” one character says is “degenerative brain disease in the world’s most dangerous brain.”

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

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

Elsewhere, a baker forms an unlikely alliance with a cat who unwittingly gives his life meaning beyond his work. In a nearby home packed to the rafters with countless strays, two women cook for and feed dozens of street cats daily.

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

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

The camera moves along the ancient streets of Istanbul, following a particularly adorable orange cat. Diners at streetside cafés hand over treats.

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

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

Through this, Kedi sneakily becomes perhaps more about the humans in the cats’ lives rather than the opposite. A sailor, for instance, who

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of April 12th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Before visiting Sicily for the first time, American poet Billy Collins learned to speak Italian. In his poem “By a Swimming Pool Outside Siracusa,” he describes how the new language is changing his perspective. If he were thinking in English, he might say that the gin he’s drinking while sitting alone in the evening light “has softened my mood.” But the newly Italianized part of his mind would prefer to say that the gin “has allowed my thoughts to traverse my brain with greater gentleness” and “has extended permission to my mind to feel a friendship with the vast sky.” Your assignment in the coming week, Aries, is to Italianize your view of the world. Infuse your thoughts with expansive lyricism and voluptuous relaxation. If you’re Italian, celebrate and amplify your Italianness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) For over a century, the Ringsaker Lutheran Church in Buxton, North Dakota hosted rites of passage, including 362 baptisms, 50 marriages, and 97 funerals. It closed in 2002, a victim of the area’s shrinking population. I invite you to consider the possibility that this can serve as a useful metaphor for you, Libra. Is there a place that has been a sanctuary for you, but has begun to lose its magic? Is there a traditional power spot from which the power has been ebbing? Has a holy refuge evolved into a mundane hang-out? If so, mourn for a while, then go in search of a vibrant replacement.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Most people throw away lemon rinds, walnut shells, and pomegranate skins. But some resourceful types find uses for these apparent TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It’s closing time. You have wastes. Lemon rind can serve as a deodorizer, cleaner, and skin tonic, as well as a zesty ingredient in recipes. finished toiling in the shadow of an old sacred cow.

Ground-up walnut shells work well in facial scrubs and You’ve climaxed your relationship with ill-fitting ideas pet bedding.

And you can finally give up your quest for a supposed Holy Grail that never actually gest you look for metaphorically similar things, Scorpio. existed in the first place.

Does this mean you’ll soon be ready to embrace SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re growing too more freedom than you have in years? I’m betting on it. fast, but that’s fine as long as you don’t make people GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The heaviest butterfly on the planet is the female Queen Victorian Birdwing. It tips the scales at two grams. The female Queen Alexandra Birdwing is the butterfly with the longest wingspan: over 12 inches. These two creatures remind me of you these days. Like them, you’re freakishly beautiful. You’re a marvelous and somewhat vertiginous spectacle. The tasks you’re working on are graceful and elegant, yet also big and weighty. Because of your intensity, you may not look flight-worthy, but you’re actually quite aerodynamic. In fact, your sorties are dazzling and influential.

Though your acrobatic zigzags seem improbable, they’re effective.

around you feel they’re moving too slowly. You know too much, but that won’t be a problem as long as you don’t act snooty. And you’re almost too attractive for your own good, but that won’t hurt you as long as you overflow with spontaneous generosity. What I’m trying to convey, Sagittarius, is that your excesses are likely to be more beautiful than chaotic, more fertile than confusing. And that should provide you with plenty of slack when dealing with cautious folks who are a bit rattled by your lust for life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Until recently, scientists believed the number of trees on the planet was about 400 billion. But research published in the journal Nature says that’s wrong. There are actually three trillion trees CANCER (June 21-July 22) Picasso had mixed feelings on earth—almost eight times more than was previously about his fellow painter Marc Chagall, who was born under the sign of Cancer. “I’m not crazy about his roost- thought. In a similar way, I suspect you have also underestimated certain resources that are personally ers and donkeys and flying violinists, and all the folkavailable to you, Capricorn. Now is a good time to lore,” Picasso said, referring to the subject matter of Chagall’s compositions. But he also felt that Chagall was correct your undervaluation. Summon the audacity to recognize the potential abundance you have at your one of the only painters “who understands what color disposal. Then make plans to tap into it with a greater really is,” adding, “There’s never been anybody since sense of purpose.

Praise and disapproval tified a quality he called “negative capability.” He may come your way. Recognition and neglect. Kudos defined it as the power to calmly accept “uncertainties, and apathy. Please don’t dwell on the criticism and mysteries, and doubts without any irritable reaching downplay the applause. In fact, do the reverse! after fact and reason.” I would extend the meaning to include three other things not to be irritably reached for: LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “Go Tell It on the Mountain” is artificial clarity, premature resolution, and simplistic the title of an old gospel song, and now it’s the answers. Now is an excellent time to learn more about metaphorical theme of your horoscope. I advise you to this fine art, Aquarius. climb a tall peak—even if it’s just a magic mountain in your imagination—and deliver the spicy monologue that has been marinating within you. It would be great if you could gather a sympathetic audience for your revelations, but that’s not mandatory to achieve the necessary catharsis. You simply need to be gazing at the big picture as you declare your big, ripe truths.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Are you ready for a riddle that’s more enjoyable than the kind you’re used to? I’m not sure if you are. You may be too jaded to embrace this unusual gift. You could assume it’s another one of the crazy-making cosmic jokes that have sometimes tormented you in the past. But I hope that doesn’t happen.

I hope you’ll welcome the riddle in the liberating spirit in which it’s offered. If you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised as it teases you in ways you didn’t know you wanted to be teased. You’ll feel a delightful itch or a soothing burn in your secret self, like a funny-bone feeling that titillates your immortal soul. P.S.: To take full advantage of the blessed riddle, you may have to expand your understanding of what’s good for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you were a snake, it would be a fine time to molt your skin. If you were a river, it would be a perfect moment to overflow your banks in a spring flood. If you were an office worker, it would be an excellent phase to trade in your claustrophobic cubicle for a spacious new niche. In other words, Virgo, you’re primed to outgrow at least one of your containers. The boundaries you knew you would have to transgress some day are finally ready to be transgressed. Even now, Homework: Test this hypothesis: The answer to a your attention span is expanding and your imagination is pressing question will come within 72 hours after you do a ritual in which you ask for clarity. stretching.
