DRAWING LINKS BETWEEN GENTRIFICATION, DISPLACEMENT, ART AND GROWTH IN SANTA FE

I’m officially excited. About a hospital.

You’ve probably never been this excited about healthcare. Get ready to be. Presbyterian is elevating healthcare in Santa Fe with our new Presbyterian Health Park, opening fall of 2018.

Our 70-acre Health Park, anchored by the Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center, will make staying healthy easier by providing a range of healthcare services in one convenient location.

Here, you’ll get the same level of care that led U.S. News & World Report to name Presbyterian Hospital the best hospital in New Mexico.

NEWS, JAN. 24: “LOCAL POLLS FOR LOCAL FUNDS”

BONDS FOR DREAMS As a Santa Fe resident who wants to get an education, build a career and stay in Santa Fe, I’m urging everyone to vote on the Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) bond Feb. 6.

This bond is the first since 2010, and it is needed to fund facility and technology upgrades that will benefit students like me, as well as the entire community. Right now, there are places on campus that don’t have adequate internet or wifi capabilities. This bond could improve both of those issues plus enhance security so that our information and communication stay safe.

Anyone who uses the Fitness Education Center knows that it is an affordable way to work out, not just for students, but also for community members. This bond would fund pool repairs, and pay for new fitness equipment, and a new floor and seating in the gym plus repair the outside and inside.

SFCC has been around for more than 30 years, and many classrooms and learning spaces are out-of-date. This bond would pay for new furnishings and fixtures for a number of popular programs. ...

And, something that is important to any homeowner in Santa Fe is the fact that the bond will not increase the property tax rates they pay.

Having a college that offers the education I want in my own community has allowed me to pursue my dream by attending class and working. Please vote on the Santa Fe Community College bond so that other local students can make their dreams come true, too.

NOHEMY BOJORQUEZ-FLORES SFCC STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

Your latest article on the upcoming Feb. 6 bond election for SFCC and SFPS was an informative and timely reminder of what the taxpayers of the county are being asked to fund.

It was also full of school district propaganda. Statements by the schools are a case study in self-interest: “this particular election is really (about) protecting their investment ...”

Veronica Garcia says it’s like taking care of a house or a car.

Well firstly, if I couldn’t afford to maintain a house or a car then I wouldn’t buy one, and secondly if I do maintain my car or my house I wouldn’t be asking my neighbor to fund it. I like my neighbors!

The fact is that these financing schemes are very expensive and a burden to the property owners Santa Fe. We know the cost of housing here is ridiculous. However if you are a top school administrator making six figures it is easy to ignore this reality.

Our schools must live within their means if we are ever to have a fiscally balanced community.

I will be voting no because of these issues.

FOOD, JAN. 17: “TURNING JAPANESE”

TSK, TSK How is it possible that the Santa Fe Reporter employs a food critic that needs to review takeout food?

The food column for Cuba Fe Fusion references Ms. Cheeseman’s inability to do a proper review, because she has another job—??? And she is unable to go out to eat lunch?

How is anyone supposed to give credence to this type of review?

In a city with over 250 restaurants, you could do a proper review of a proper meal in a restaurant, and not need to repeat a location for over five years.

This is an embarrassment to your newspaper, and our city.

STEVE SCHWARTZ SANTA FE Editor’s note: Yes, our food writer does have other jobs—as do many of us. And yes, takeout food counts.

ART’S WRONG ORDER

MARCH 23 BUFFALOTHUNDERRESORT.COM

The humor of your cover picturing a US Supreme Court argument is diminished by its patent errors.

The Court members “sit on the Bench in order of seniority with the Chief Justice in the middle, and the others alternating from left to right, ending with the most junior Associate Justice on the far right, as you face the Bench.”

Only Justices Gorsuch and Kagen, the two least senior members, are correctly placed at the ends of the bench.

Placing Justice Thomas in the Chief Justice seat is particularly startling to anyone familiar with the Court. Yikes!

Your vote on this bond is critically important!

For more information and a list of voting locations near you, visit www.votesfcc.com.

SFR’s time-honored tradition of pop-quizzing candidates for public office is our way of testing their knowledge about the community they seek to represent. The city election on March 6 includes four districted council seats with a total of nine candidates, and five people who are running for mayor. As election season nears, we bring you a race or two in each print edition. Last week, we talked to three people who want to represent District 2. This week, we reached out to Roman Abeyta, who is the next in line to be the District 3 councilor. He’s unopposed in the election to replace Carmichael Dominguez, who is not running for re-election.

Abeyta is the director of the Santa Fe Boys and Girls club and a former county manager.

Early voting ends Feb. 3 and Election Day is Feb. 6.

#HimToo

Alan Webber considers the downfalls of powerful men from his past

Webber is the election’s fundraising frontrunner so far.

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

I

t’s the kind of phone call candidates hate to get: The morning after you’ve planted your flag as the campaign frontrunner, after you’ve blown away the all-time fundraising record with six weeks still to go before the election, how would you like to talk about something that happened a decade ago? How about 40 years ago?

Alan Webber understandably sounded a little deflated.

Nevertheless, the candidate for Santa Fe mayor agreed to sit down face-to-face

and talk once more about the man he’s called a mentor and a friend … and now calls a criminal.

In the 1970s, when Webber was about 23 years old, he worked for a rock star.

Neil Goldschmidt was the young mayor of Portland, Oregon. He had new ideas about urban development and, in an era of booming automotive transportation, said no to the Mount Hood Freeway and yes to investing in parks and public transportation. Webber has cited his role in the freeway decision as an example of his progressive bona fides at campaign events.

When Jimmy Carter asked Goldschmidt to head the US Department of

Snuggle a baby, Support a Mom Ready to Volunteer?

MANY MOTHERS THERS

Transportation, Webber went along as a special assistant. The two parted ways professionally in 1981 after Ronald Reagan’s election. Goldschmidt later became Oregon’s governor.

In 2004, Goldschmidt’s world came apart as SFR’s sister paper in Portland, Willamette Week, published a Pulitzer Prize-winning series of stories that detailed his sexual relationship with the daughter of a campaign staffer. At the time of the abuse, Goldschmidt was 35.

She was 14—maybe younger, making it statutory rape. If the wealthy Oregon power broker’s life was unraveling, the woman’s once-promising trajectory had long since flamed out. She lived with mental illness for years and battled substance abuse and PTSD her entire adult life. She died in 2011 at age 49.

“It was a gut punch,” Webber tells SFR this week. “The revelation in Willamette Week came as a total shock to me.”

There’s no evidence to suggest otherwise. Webber points out that Goldschmidt passed whatever vetting the Carter administration did prior to his DC appointment. After breaking the 30-year secret, reporter Nigel Jaquiss later showed many people had learned of the crimes by the time Goldschmidt became governor in 1987. Webber’s name wasn’t mentioned.

“I would characterize it as rape and a crime,” Webber says. “It came as a total betrayal.”

Why a betrayal?

“Well, why are the women who worked with Matt Lauer feeling betrayed?” Webber offers. “You think you know somebody and you think you understand who they are, and then suddenly you are forced to confront the fact that you don’t.”

This isn’t new. Webber has talked about it in this campaign and he dealt with it as he ran for governor four years ago.

But there’s also the matter of a blog post called “Empathy for Eliot” that he wrote in 2008 after another Democratic rising star, Eliot Spitzer, resigned as governor

of New York in the wake of a prostitution scandal. Webber considered him a friend.

Webber says he was trying, personally, to make sense of Spitzer’s downfall. He referred to Goldschmidt’s undoing as a “sex scandal” and wrote that, while there was “real damage, to be sure,” no one had died in either case. He wondered if both men had self-destructed as a function of their own insecurity.

Reflecting now, he says, “I would have written more feelingly for the victim.”

He has stayed in touch with the former Goldschmidt staffer whose daughter was victimized. Webber says she’s a friend.

“Mostly [the blog post] was me mulling over in writing something that I could not understand and still don’t understand,” he says.

Webber has drawn fire—or as close to it as this gentle campaign has come— from Kate Noble and some supporters for pandering. He has suggested creating a women’s advisory commission at the city to advocate for equal treatment and representation in all city policies. He’s pledged to make women half of his senior staff. He’s invoked the #MeToo and #TimesUp movements in his appeals to voters.

It’s an authentic suggestion, he says, and he expects to be questioned about it if he’s elected and doesn’t follow through.

As a start, his local paid campaign staff is comprised entirely of women.

“The only way you can convince someone is by what you do and what you say. I spoke out because I think it’s important to lead,” Webber says.

While he’s still the same person who was taken aback by Goldschmidt’s crimes and Spitzer’s downfall, Webber says, “I think I’ve grown a lot in terms of seeing the underlying nature of the problem and its source and its depth. I talk about it differently, I understand it differently, I appreciate it differently. I have a much more informed and better-shaped understanding. I think the whole society does.”

DRAWING LINKS BETWEEN GENTRIFICATION, DISPLACEMENT, ART AND GROWTH IN SANTA FE

entrification isn’t just a word that’s bandied about in public policy circles. It is a felt experience, a sense of longing, melancholy and even bitterness over a loss that can never be recouped. That loss usually comes when developers and policy makers see a place that is historically disinvested (often also rich in culture and community) as cheap real estate ripe for renovating and selling to folks (often white, but not always) in the middle and upper classes.

People in Santa Fe, however, “don’t say the word gentrification,” as Tomás

Rivera, executive director of the Chainbreaker Collective, explains. The organization first began and continues its work as a bicycle resource center, later growing to become a voice for housing and transportation justice in Santa Fe. That includes works on gentrification, a term that comes off as a bit jargony.

Still, most people can intuit what it means. Without saying the word, many instead “make a reference to what happened on Canyon Road, the epicenter of art in Santa Fe,” Rivera notes.

Once a largely working class Latinx barrio, the stretch of densely untamed streets now has some of the highest real estate prices (and median incomes) in the city and, as a result, the lowest population of Latinx residents. Inter-

nationally, it is known for its rarified art market. Locally, it is synonymous with displacement.

And that’s the word with which Chainbreaker wants to frame the conversation. The forthcoming “Art Without Displacement” forum on Tuesday Feb. 6 is one of four public events that comprise its Edge of Equity series—this one to address the relationship between the art world and gentrification in Santa Fe. Rivera says the themes for the series came from its members, mostly low-income people of color who, in Rivera’s eyes, are the experts on major issues like transit. They, in tandem with other allies, also want to delve into art, housing and social justice. Part of the role of the panel, Rivera says, is to “help people

the basis of a project called Culture Connects, which Rael-Galvez spearheaded for the city of Santa Fe, the former state historian and founder of Creative Strategies 360 often heard a similar phrase repeated over and over again: “Artists are the foot soldiers of gentrification.”

Earlier on, it was the Santa Fe artists’ colony that appropriated Northern New Mexico aesthetics toward their own ends, but waves came and went. Now, it is accepted wisdom that bohemians and hipsters willing to live and work in industrial or working-class areas—in Santa Fe and elsewhere—are the first in a series of changing tides. Sometimes they bear cold brew and expensive juice, other times a countenance of morose cynicism. Regardless of the beverage or the look, the problem arises when cold brew displaces cafecito, or when neighborhoods change to accommodate a wholly other and more privileged demographic at the expense of the working class.

Following this logic, when neighborhoods like Canyon Road begin to accommodate the art world, it comes at a steep price. The art world (and by that I mean the industry that pushes the creation and sale of art on a corporate level) is premised on exclusion. Nothing can say it better than the term “white cube,” a title synonymous with the minimally adorned gallery space. Indeed, white cubes keep the din of the greater world at bay and, when they multiply, they give birth to a politics and economy of exclusion, which hinges, in part, upon real estate. Exclusion can come when a person once intimate with an area no longer feels welcome walking down a street lined by high-end galleries; it can also come in the shape that certain types of policies take to enable exclusion in the

first place.

The relationship between art and displacement isn’t immediately causal, or even clear-cut, but it does beg a good hard look at why art (or the art machine) and displacement are almost always threaded together. What happens, for instance, when an arts corporation gets municipal funding at the same time that the city struggles to provide essential services for the most vulnerable populations? In a city that dedicates 2 percent of its capital-improvement bonds to art acquisition, what would dedicating 2 percent to equity look like? Or, if we continue as a city to invest in arts-based tourism, when

make those connections [between sectors] for themselves.”

The first two panels in the series covered health and education, while investment, the final topic, will cap the series on Feb. 20. Altogether, they count toward a bigger strategy by Chainbreaker to help people develop political literacy, as well as an “understanding of the depth of the equity crisis in Santa Fe,” in Rivera’s words.

Over the years, Santa Fe has become a known bastion of liberalism—from establishing a high minimum wage to refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, championing marriage equality and support for big-government programs that attempt to provide services that level the playing field.

Yet, the reigning perception and celebration of liberalism—that everyone deserves a seat at the table—camouflages a dark reality difficult to confront: Santa Fe is starkly segregated by race and class.

The various waves of displacement, from Canyon Road out to the furthest stretches of the city, have engendered those fault lines like arroyos etched across the landscape. And like arroyos, most people only remark on the danger they pose when their flooding causes a chain reaction of erosion.

Estevan Rael-Galvez has studied gentrification and benchmarked antigentrification strategies in places like Chicago and Boyle Heights in Los Angeles, and moderates the upcoming panel with author and activist Demetria Martinez; papercut artist Valerie Rangel; Diane Reyna, a women’s studies professor at the Institute of American Indian Arts; and Jared Antonio-Justo Trujillo, owner of downtown gallery KEEP Contemporary.

During the conversations that forged

that money finally trickles down, who does that make the city better for?

This was a question posed by Devon Walsh Lang, a longtime member and volunteer at Chainbreaker, who is also working on a social media campaign on equity that will launch after the mayoral elections in March. The question of whether (or how) art can contribute to displacement is exactly that: a question that bears many complex answers, and perhaps even more hair-pulling questions.

For Rael-Galvez, it is only through the “process of engagement that the answer gets revealed.” The key is that “those from the community should be at the table.” Doing this is simply another way of “acknowledging, valuing and nurturing local talent and skill,” as opposed to helicoptering in outside social practice artists or consultants from elsewhere, as is the current trend across the nation.

In addition to moderating the “Art Without Displacement” panel, RaelGalvez is working on an oral history project about Canyon Road and the Hopewell-Mann neighborhood. Each, he sees, operates along a continuum toward a similar end: thinking about and implementing what he terms “ethical redevelopment,” a framework that jives with Rivera’s belief in “legislation that allocates resources equitably.”

“It’s not like we want to live in an artless society,” Rivera makes clear. “We love art, we live art, we are artists ourselves.” To rid Santa Fe of art or artists is CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

LEGISLATORS:

Please do not vote to give PNM a blank check.

Senate Bill 47 and House Bill 80 asks you to approve: 1. A payment by ratepayers — that’s us — of $350 million dollars to the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM) for coal plant investments that would have been charged to customers if San Juan stayed open until 2053 (NO U.S.A. coal plant has remained open for 85 years); 2. San Juan is now scheduled to close in 2022 because it is uneconomic. PNM’s

coal plants can’t compete against less costly solar and wind;

3. SB 47/HB 80 will expand PNM’s monopoly control over electric generation and require that replacement energy power be owned by PNM — to the exclusion of other energy market producers, suppressing energy competition and jobs.

This virtually guarantees that we will pay more for our energy because there will be no open competition from other businesses or opportunities for job creation by those businesses;

4. This bill is an end-run around the NM PRC regulatory

process so PNM can get 100% of the $350 million from ratepayers, and avoid an evidentiary hearing process where they would have to divulge information about the costs of cleanup and the impacts of the coal plant’s retirement on mine workers & local communities;

5. This bill is a blank check from ratepayers to pay PNM for all future coal and nuclear costs — which is billions of dollars. This includes undepreciated costs and reclamation and decommissioning costs at the San Juan and Four Corners coal plants and Palo Verde nuclear plants.

MULLING OVER SANTA FE’S EDUCATIONAL DIVIDE

BY AARON CANTÚ a a r o n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

Chainbreakers began as a bicycle resource organization and has grown into a social justice activism engine.

not the solution. It’s about making decisions that affect everyone from an “equity lens.” “We want a city that values people and protects against displacement,” Rivera continues. And sometimes that means making “politically inconvenient decisions.” It perhaps comes as no surprise, then, that Chainbreaker is an organization built upon education.

When people walk in to get their bike tuned up during the organization’s Sunday bicycle resource center hours at 1515 Fifth St., they’ll also encounter an entire grassroots environment where learning how to replace a tube could lead to suggestions about how to become engaged in politics. Juan Velarde, the self-described greeter who hails from Chihuahua, makes one point clear: “We are the raza and we can all make a difference together. We offer strength in numbers.”

With an intergenerational team of about 19 people who are considered the organization’s leadership, Chainbreaker has begun canvassing across Santa Fe. According to SonyaMaría Martinez, who is leading the effort, volunteers plan to knock on 10,000 doors to increase voter engagement and introduce the nonprofit to a wider network of people.

Much of this work is taking place against the backdrop of a high-stakes mayoral election with five candidates facing off. Early voting in the March 6 election begins on Feb. 14. The goal is that people will walk into the voting booths fully informed, and long after will continue to hold their elected officials accountable, Martinez says. Art is part of this web and, as such, not immune from criticism.

Just the same, art can also be the means for redress, accountability and education.

On that note, Rael-Galvez counts himself as an idealist. “I believe in my bones,” he says, “that art and creativity, what we do with our hands, hearts and minds has the capacity to transform our community.”

Alicia Inez Guzmán grew up in Truchas and currently lives in Santa Fe. She holds a doctorate in visual and cultural studies, and writes analyis about contemporary art, cultural workers, and Chicanx and Indigenous histories of land use.

into the topic of education, some evidence indicates social stratification in this area too. For example, three schools near the Plaza were all given “A” scores by the state for the last school year. Meanwhile, Airport Road had the greatest concentration of schools that received “F” scores.

Past reporting by SFR also found that it’s more difficult for poorer and non-English speaking families to transfer to high-performing schools.

Last year several school districts, including Santa Fe, sued the state Department of Education over the way it funds programs in the state.

The Chainbreaker panel was an examination of that inequity on an even smaller scale.

Patricia Trujillo, the director of equity and diversity and an associate professor at Northern New Mexico College, noted to the audience of about 40 people that Santa Fe still grapples with its legacy of double colonization, first of Spanish

teacher at El Camino Real Academy along the Airport Road corridor.

“We are a city where people don’t really mix,” Gay-Webb said. “Our students on the Southside don’t go to the Plaza or the museums, even when they’re free. It’s not part of their culture.” The net effect of kids who grow up having different cultural experiences will be a city further divided along intersecting racial and class lines in the future, she added.

Audience members asked panelists questions, including one about specific proposals for the next mayor of Santa Fe. For Linda Siegle, the chair of Santa Fe Community College board, two ideas were “integrating [the] college into the fabric of the community” by offering more educational opportunities around town, and investing in civic education for Santa Fe youth.

Gay-Webb suggested implementing participatory budgeting in city planning to better incorporate the needs of local neighborhoods; Lopez suggested community garden programs for every school.

Trujillo spoke against heightened standardized testing and the “corporatization of schools.”

It’s not a new critique of the standardized testing approach, but the fact that educators are having the same conversation about it that they have had for decades reflects a lack of serious engagement with the criticism, said Lopez. Her own experience bears this out.

Students at Santa Fe High, in Lopez’ telling, were on two different paths: The more academically rigorous national AP or IB (International Baccalaureate) path, and the “regular” path, where state tests are emphasized. Almost invariably, kids in the former group come from more privileged means, creating an obvious divide within the school. Lopez said that juggling long commutes and homelessness while attending high school prevented her from taking AP courses, which also meant she missed out on the college credit that comes with passing AP tests.

Without those credits, she is now having to pay out of pocket for courses at SFCC that she could have bypassed had she taken AP classes. It’s another form of compounding inequality that students experience in Santa Fe.

Teachers sometimes mistakenly attribute a student’s inability to turn in assignments to a lack of dedication. Ruby Lopez says this mistake cost her valuable education time.

A 2016 graduate of Santa Fe High School and now an educator at the local nonprofit organization Earth Care, Lopez demonstrates an intelligence and maturity beyond her years. But while she was in high school, she was booted out of an Advanced Placement geography class for not turning in her homework on time. Between commuting to school from her sometimes home in Española and her We are a city where other commitments, she had fallen behind and couldn’t people don’t really keep up with the course load. mix.

Timeless How a race against the clock became a story of not wasting a lifetime

The USA mens rafting team runs a speed trial over 227 river miles in the Grand Canyon.

again, The Time Travelers hit the themes of family and a life well-spent—in that it was largely spent outdoors.

As the rafters’ team advisor, veteran Grand Canyon boatman Brian Dierker, who’s seen many years include 250 days on the river, quips in the film: “The older you get, the more freaked out about how short your time is, and some of these people have no clue as to how much time they’ve wasted.”

Shots fade from roar of rapids to that of a vacuum cleaner, from kids and wives to the hours on rowing machines, training for more than half the day to prep for speeding through the Grand Canyon in less than a day and a half, and talking about the need for “a good dose of inspiration.”

Peer to P e

year has passed since members of the USA men’s rafting team shoved a self-designed 48-foot boat into the Colorado River, setting off on an effort to break the speed record through the Grand Canyon. The goal was to oar 277 river miles in 34 hours, but the mission was also to reinvigorate their lives with challenge and push back against the advance of time and its remarkable abilities to compress hopes.

Instead of accepting the steady drumbeat of work, parenting and working out, they choose an audacious and difficult project that stretched their skills, promised more physical pain than they’d ever before endured, and saw them facing off with the possibility of failure. The 23-minute film The Time Travelers captures the story, and shows in Santa Fe on Friday Feb. 2 as part of the Telluride Mountainfilm tour in a lineup that celebrates outdoor pursuits and wild places.

Dan Riordan, a partner with Gnarly Bay Productions, says the project was a natural extension from a previous film they’d made with Forest Woodward and Brendan Leonard called The Important Places. That film, also a Mountainfilm selection, followed Woodward rafting the Grand Canyon with his father four decades after the elder’s last trip there, searching for ways to know and connect with his father as a younger man.

They’d concurred on a “why not the Grand?” plan, and together undertook what none could have achieved alone.

“People do adventurous things, people push themselves, they do crazy outdoor adventures—that’s not new,” says raft team member John Mark Seelig. “But I don’t know anybody who does it as a group of six guys.”

In an era when we are more in touch but less connected, he says, that matters.

Outdoor sports trend toward solo ventures rather than team endeavors.

Individuals hike, climb, ski and ride, competing one-on-one. In some ways, he says, it’s easier to go it alone—it would certainly spare those moments of quibbling over the plan, what’s broken and how to fix it. But the struggle also

yields rewards.

“There’s strength when you all have to be in sync and you’re working on a communal goal,” Seelig says. “There’s a difference when you cross the finish line and you go, ‘I did that,’ versus ‘We did that.’ …

You can’t move the boat by yourself.”

It’s a sentiment Riordan echoes from his Rhode Island-based office.

“I play on a soccer team on Tuesday nights, and we have 15 guys on the team and it’s really hard to get seven of them to show up,” he says. “To have that common goal is an impressive thing. As you move through your 30s into your 40s, and you have a family and all that sort of stuff, it’s so much easier to get a Netflix account and chill.”

Though admittedly, a fair amount of Netflix went into the 15-hour training sessions on the rowing machines.

Twelve months on, the team has their sights set on a new project: a mostly Colorado-based crew of river rafters will take to the sea and compete in an outrigger race among the Hawaiian Islands.

“We’ve done a lot of different things and it’s one of the only things we haven’t done that involves a boat and a paddle,” Seelig says.

It hadn’t taken long for the scheming to begin, Riordan recalls.

“When they got back to shore and they got a chance to hug their family and crack a beer, they’re sitting around looking at the boat going, ‘We should do this, this and this next.’ That’s just cool. It wasn’t the final chapter in their story,” he says.

“This is the type of people we’re dealing with—these people who want to go to the next frontier of everything.”

LECTURE MON/5

Rags to Riches?

How Cinderella came to the Pueblos—maybe The word “resistance” in the title of Lynda McNeil’s upcoming lecture about a Tewa folktale may pique some interest, but upon talking to McNeil about her scholarship (she has a doctorate in comparative literature and, before retiring, taught a class on cross-cultural Cinderella stories for a decade at the University of Colorado, Boulder), the subject of her upcoming lecture reveals itself to be about more than just rebellion.

While she’s conducted her own copious research for years, drawing from scholarship on 500-600 Cinderella stories from around the world, she hadn’t heard of “Turkey Girl,” often referred to as a Tewa Cinderella story, until about two years ago.

She tracked the Cinderella tale’s emergence in Spain and the ways in which it was used to reflect the values of the Inquisition; the story then came over to New Spain with Franciscan missionaries. “My theory is that there were a number of different stories that were told at the missions that had a very strong Catholic message,” McNeil tells SFR. “This Spanish version of the Cinderella tale … was used to proselytize.”

SFREPORTER.COM

When it comes to “Turkey Girl” and the Spanish Cinderella, McNeil says there is about a 60 percent correspondence in motifs of the two tales—but that, conspicuously, the Pueblo interpretation lacks any Christian references. Additionally, many of the main plot points of the European Cinderella story (monarchy, passive women, inequality between classes and sexes) did not have a direct translation to Pueblo culture.

McNeil is fascinated with the story’s migration and change, but she also knows to tread lightly; it’s an outsider’s job, of course, to interpret Pueblo culture.

“There’s probably a lot in the tale that I don’t need to know about, or that I shouldn’t know about,” she says. “So I’m trying to be sensitive to the fact that this may be a tale that Westerners really don’t need to know a whole lot about. …

We don’t have ownership, and it’s a fine line we’re walking.” (Charlotte Jusinski) SOUTHWEST SEMINARS: TURKEY GIRL: A TEWA FOLKTALE OF RESISTANCE AND BECOMING 6 pm Monday Feb. 5. $15. Hotel Santa Fe, 1501 Paseo de Peralta, 982-1200

King Charles Don’t get mad—you know Charles Tichenor has a point

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

D

“

ear Alex,” the email read. “This town, for all its touting of fabulosity, is culturally dead.”

Holy shit.

I mean, I’ve danced around this idea for the better part of a decade, as have many local culturally significant folks (we’ve also heaped praise far and wide, so relax) but no one has ever just come right out to me and said something like this.

“Culture is a LIVING THING,” the email continued. “What we have in Santa Fe is a continuum of rehashed, sentimental, overly done and status quo-sucking material. We’re stuck in the nostalgia of the past. We desperately need a change. … I would relish the idea of chatting with you on this subject—the subject of artistic rebellion. I want to create something out of the box—brash, revolutionary, yet small. I’m already doing it, but I need help.”

Strong words from Charles Tichenor, sort of a piano bar legend in Santa Fe. Tichenor once studied acting with the great Stella Adler, and performed piano all across New York City for years.

It’s there that he met one of the original owners of Vanessie some 23 years ago and moved to Santa Fe. He tickled the ivories down at Vanessie, a position he held for 20-plus years until, he says, he was unceremoniously let go while vacationing in France. It stung, and he kept mostly to himself for a time, but he was busy.

Tichenor studied up on Le Chat Noir, a late-1800s, pre-Belle Époque cabaret that began in the Monmarte district of

Paris; an underground outlet that set out to lure the intelligentsia but, as these things do, expanded to include the masses. “Eventually the bourgeoise started showing up, because it became so cool they wanted to come to find out what was going on,” Tichenor says, “and the emcees and performers would do all this anti-military and anti-government material. … The bourgeoise would show up for this fun, cultural, intellectual abuse. … This is where the journalists and the poets and the songwriters and the artists all convened to discuss their ideas and the cultural milieu of the city.”

And thus, Tichenor’s own Chat Noir Cabaret began, quietly, in the back room of Mexican restaurant Los Magueyes in Burro Alley—the last place any of us would have expected—every Friday and Saturday night. It’s there that Tichenor tells jokes, sings songs, riffs parodies like he’s Beethoven waxing poetic about farts and welcomes guest performers such as vocalist Michael Hely or accordion virtuoso Ron Romanovsky. It’s a blast, too, with Tichenor leading the charge on subtly sexual love songs, politically charged piano numbers and the dipping of toes into subversively knocking down our socalled president a peg or two. For now, it’s not entirely unlike piano bar karaoke with light elements of vaudeville—though it’s entirely more cerebral. Tichenor’s ultimate hope is to attract a certain intel-

Charles Tichenor double-fists the keys at a recent performance of his Chat Noir Cabaret.

lectual crowd and to evolve the process into salon-like gatherings ripe for the exchange of culture and ideas.

“I’m trying to create something that has a little more of a point of view in town,” Tichenor says. “One of the great things I learned from Stella Adler was the difference between art with a little ‘a’ and Art with a capital ‘A,’ and Art with a capital ‘A’ should be at least a little bit transformative; you should come out of it with a slightly shifted perspective and a slightly raised consciousness about things. So that’s what I’m trying to do instead of just playing ‘Jeremiah Was a Bullfrog’ over and over again.”

Not that there’s anything wrong with covers, of course; but when their purveyors begin acting as if they’re adding to the cultural conversation in meaningful ways and are therefore owed something (a fan base, a living, etc.), this is where Tichenor starts to waffle. But he’s not unrealistic and he doesn’t expect that he’ll outright change the shared culture of Santa Fe and beyond from his cabaret room in the back of a restaurant, but it’s at least trying something slightly new. (I’d also like to give a shout-out to “something new”-ers Cloacas

at this point, because they weird.)

Tichenor has adoring fans who attend his weekly sessions, too, from the older would-be starlet to the Michigan transplant with the acoustic guitar who sings from a place of authenticity that few bar bands can muster.

But let us also be realistic ourselves: about recent venue closures and the overall state of the music biz in town, and about the people trying their hardest. Tichenor understands this well. It’s just that he’s grown tired of walking into the same old places and hearing the same old things.

A cursory glance at dead-eyed bar patrons staring blankly at televisions while the band tries to do their thing is a pretty solid indicator that he’s not alone.

Still, if you’re in the market for something outside the norm (and, like, a damn solid burrito), this could be the place to do it.

Area Anvils One Santa Fe shop’s journey to transform a community Maxwell Bennet straightens steel at iron-to-live-with studio.

BY COLE REHBEIN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

A

certain kind of people are attracted to Santa Fe. They come in droves. You might be able to pick them out on the street by a particular quality of their hands or hair, but I couldn’t describe the precise quality to you here. They use many words to describe themselves, but all agree on the common appellation: Maker, with a capital M. “I’m an artist-blacksmith,” says Maxwell Bennett. “Or sometimes a blacksmith-artist.”

Bennett, 27, is one of many metalworkers crafting out of a shop in the booming Siler Road industrial district.

Originally from La Puebla, 25 miles north of town, his introduction to metalwork came through a class at the Waldorf School, and he’s been in practice ever since. He’s also representative of the younger generation of Makers who toil under the patronage of their teachers.

“I try to balance traditional technique with the modern aesthetic,” Bennett says about his style and artistic vision.

The principle of balance between past and present applies to his daily work in the shop, iron-to-live-with (2873 Industrial Road, 474-3060), where he works with owner Helmut Hillenkamp and apprentice Tiago Renê Torres da Silva. Their arrangement is fluid but secure, common to many Makers. “He’s kind of a contractor, a subcontractor,” Hillenkamp says.

Sometimes Bennett trades labor on Hillenkamp’s projects for use of the shop for his own work, like when he creates fine art and practical crafts, such as the new railing installed at the Canyon Road restaurant El Farol during its recent remodel.

But, for an upcoming project, Bennett will work under Hillenkamp nearly full-time until it is complete.

Makers often share a drive to be in control of their own life story through the objects they create and the communities they build. Hillenkamp’s story starts in Germany, where he learned basic metalwork and HVAC construction techniques.

He then worked in Northern California, creating custom railing for the nonprofit Esalen Institute, before migrating to Switzerland in 1990 to study forging and the elements of blacksmith artistry. In 1991, he visited Cuenca, Ecuador, to work on proj-

ects at the recommendation of his teacher, where he came to deeply appreciate the value of the community behind a smith.

“I don’t have to be a tourist. My skills allow me to visit places as a member of the community,” he says of his time in Cuenca.

At the end of 1991, he moved to Santa Fe and studied under the legendary Tom Joyce. At the time, the local blacksmithing community was taking off with Joyce’s work sparking a renaissance of handcrafted architectural features and tools in the traditional Spanish style. After two years of working under Joyce, Hillenkamp opened his own shop, joining his sense of Swiss-German precision with the highend appeal of hand-forged metal and began making his mark on the community.

You’ve doubtlessly seen his work—perhaps most noticeably the bus shelter in the Railyard Park on Cerrillos Road. He created the metal structure and his wife Christy Hengst, an accomplished ceramics artist, designed and executed the inlaid mosaic map of the city.

This particular work is indicative of Hillenkamp’s passion for this city and exemplary of a Maker’s duty to give back to their neighbors, regardless of particular

craft. “Santa Fe is a great community of Makers, who make things on their own as artists and artisans. … That’s why I’m still here,” Hillenkamp says.

Blacksmiths especially embody a transformative process at every level of their work, starting with cold metal and heating it to craft tools. They take knowledge from the past and mold it into a foundation for the future; they lean on the support of the community to cast a career; they use their lives to forge useful, beautiful improvements to their neighbors’ lives. The process is personal and happens within the spirit of each smith. Take da Silva, Hillenkamp’s apprentice; he came to the States in 2016 to teach capoeira, but quickly took to smithing, changing the course of his life.

One of my favorite transformative efforts at iron-to-live-with is the Guns to Gardens project. Initiated by local nonprofit New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence in collaboration with several other metalworking studios, it sought to repurpose firearms as gardening tools. I was surprised to see a bucket of gun barrels at the shop until Maxwell explained.

Not merely continuing their ancient, traditional craft, Santa Fe’s blacksmiths are conscious of the community’s contemporary needs. The long-term project under which Bennett is employed will, in about a year’s time, adorn the steps of Owl Point Farm in La Madera, an organic hacienda and community organization that rehabilitates agricultural communities in Northern New Mexico.

But why not just use prefabricated metal materials and skip the year wait?

Because the value of handworked metal is backed by the time and energy of the artist-blacksmith and the community that enables their work: “Using forged steel gives you a feeling that you’re in charge of your world,” Hillenkamp says.

“Things aren’t just plopped into your environment.”

your soon-to-be wife who she can’t have as a friend—that’s controlling behavior—but she can’t force you to spend time with someone you loathe.

I am a 38-year-old lesbian, very femme, very out. I have a coworker I can’t figure out.

We’ve worked together for a year and gotten very close. I never want to put out the wrong signals to coworkers, and I err on the side of keeping a safe but friendly distance. This is different. We are each other’s confidants at work. We stare at each other across the office, we text until late at night, and we go for weekend dog walks. Her texts aren’t overtly flirty, but they are intimate and feel more than friendly. I’ve never had a “straight” girl act like this toward me. Is she into me? Or just needy? Is it all in my head?

-Workplace Obsession Roiling Knowing-If-Nervous Gal Five weeks ago, a letter writer jumped down my throat for giving advice to lesbians despite not being a lesbian myself. Questions from lesbians have been pouring in ever since— lesbians apparently don’t like being told who they may or may not ask for advice. Three weeks ago, I responded to a man whose coworker asked him if he might want to sleep with the coworker’s wife—a coworker who was “not [his] boss”—and people jumped down my throat for entertaining the idea because it is NEVER EVER NEVER EVER okay to sleep with a coworker and/or a coworker’s spouse. And now here I am responding to a question from a lesbian who wants to sleep with a coworker. Farewell to my mentions, as the kids say.

Here we go, WORKING… Your straight-identified workmate could be straight, or she could be a lesbian (lots of lesbians come out later in life), or she could be bisexual (most bisexual women are closeted, and others are perceived to be straight despite their best efforts to identify as bisexual)—and lots of late-in-lifers and/or closeted folks don’t come out until some hot same-sex prospect works up the nerve to ask them out.

If your coworker isn’t currently under you at work and you’re not an imminent promotion away from becoming her supervisor and your company doesn’t incentivize workplace romances by banning them, ask your coworker out on a date—an unambiguous ask for a date, not an appointment to meet up at the dog park. And this is important: Before she can respond to your ask, WORKING, invite her to say “no” if the answer is no or “straight” if the identity is straight. Good luck!

I’m a lesbian, and my partner recently reconnected with a childhood friend. At first I felt sorry for him, as he was having a health crisis.

But he’s better now, and his pushy behavior really gets to me. He texts her at all hours— and when he can’t get in touch with her, he bugs me. When I refused to go on a trip with him and his husband, he guilt-tripped me for weeks. He constantly wants us to come to his house, but they’re chain-smokers. I’m going to Los Angeles to interview a celebrity for a project, and now he’s trying to insert himself into this trip because he wants go starfucking! He also wants to officiate at our upcoming wedding! My partner won’t stand up for me when I say no to this guy. How can I get my partner to listen to me or get her jackass friend to leave me be?

-Can’t Think Of A Clever Acronym Burn it down, CTOACA. Call or e-mail your partner’s old friend and tell him you think he’s a pushy, unpleasant, smelly asshole and that you don’t want to hang out with him—not at his place, not on a trip, and not at your wedding, which he not only won’t be officiating but, if you had your druthers, he wouldn’t be attending. That should do it. You can’t tell

I’m a 40-year-old lesbian in Alabama, and I work with a woman I find impossible to resist.

The catch is she’s 66, straight, and has two children. I love her deeply, she loves me, but we don’t have sex. She has given me a pass to sleep with whoever I like, but I’m one of those weirdos who requires an emotional connection to sleep with someone. The odd thing is that she vacillates between heavily making out with me every time we are alone together and saying, “No, I can’t, I’m straight!”

Why does she do everything but sex if she’s straight?

-Feeling Really Unsure Since This Remarkably Amazing Temptress Entered Domain That nice straight lady from work is making out with you because she likes it (the thirst is real), FRUSTRATED, or she’s making out with you because she wants you in her life and believes—perhaps mistakenly—that this is the only way to hold your interest/fuel your obsession (the thirst is faked). If she likes it, then she’s a lesbian or bisexual but so invested in her heterosexual identity that she can’t “go there.” (Alabama, you said? Maybe she doesn’t feel safe being out in your community.) If she’s making out with you only because she’s lonely and values your friendship and/or enjoys the ego boost of being your obsession, then you don’t want to keep making out with her—for her sake (no one feels good after making out with someone they’d rather not be making out with) and for your own sake (those make-out sessions give you false hope and prevent you from directing your romantic and erotic energies elsewhere).

I’m a woman in my early 60s with a healthy lifestyle and an even healthier libido. I’ve had almost exclusively hetero relationships, but I’ve been attracted to women all my life and all of my masturbation fantasies involve women. The older I get, the more I think about a relationship with a woman. The thought of being in love with a woman, making love with her, sharing a life with her—it all sounds like heaven. The trouble is that it’s really hard to see how I’ll meet women who would be interested in me. There’s rarely anyone my age on dating apps. I don’t even know what age range is reasonable. What’s a reasonable age difference for women with women? Also, who is going to be interested in a rookie? Advice?

-Energetic Lonely Dame Envisioning Relationship Emmy-Award-winning actress Sarah Paulson is 43 years old and Emmy-Award-winning actress Holland Taylor is 75—and Sarah and Holland have been girlfriends for almost three years. Emmy-Award-winning talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres is 60 years old and ScreenActors-Guild-Award-winning actress Portia de Rossi is 45 years old—and Ellen and Portia have been together for 13 years and married for almost 10. There are lots of non-Emmy/ SAG-Award-winning lesbians out there in relationships with significant age gaps—and at least one lesbian in Alabama who desperately wants to be in one. So don’t let the lack of older women on dating apps prevent you from putting yourself out there on apps and elsewhere, ELDER. As for your rookie status, there are two examples of lesbians pining over rookies in this very column!

And remember: If you put yourself out there, you might be alone a year from now— but if you don’t put yourself out there, you’ll definitely be alone a year from now.

The final football game of the season (y’know, the Super Bowl?) functions like a pastiche of everything that makes us American, including long-term brain damage and trans-fatty snacks. But then there are the commercials for which even the most ardent anti-capitalist can’t help but tune in. We spoke with Eve Wakeland, director of accounts at the advertising agency Esparza in Albuquerque, about what to expect from the boob tube this weekend.

This football season, the president bashed players who protested against racist policing. Did this impact this year’s commercials?

I do think companies were kind of keeping that in mind. From the ads I’ve seen so far, people are steering clear of politics. They’re keeping things very light; they’re either going light and funny or they’re trying to lean more toward their philanthropic side. It kind of feels like everyone needs a little break from that at the moment.

Which companies will be airing commercials during the Super Bowl?

Some of them are gonna be the ones that you expect—Anheuser-Busch, Coca-Cola, Hyundai—but there are a few we haven’t seen in a while. Like M&M’s will have one, PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] has one which is kind of controversial, Groupon, Pringles [and] Amazon, just to name a few.

How much are they spending for ad space?

Last year a 30-second spot was $4.5 million, and this year it’s $5 million. People are willing to pay for [the increase]. You’re also gonna see a lot of celebrity endorsements this year. That’s not necessarily new, but in general of the stuff I’ve seen thus far, it’s a higher percentage than in the past.

ACTING OUT Teens Grab Patriarchy by the Innuendo

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

picked this play, it’s because women still have this problem: Their only power seems to be sex, their only power is whether or not they can please their man,” Duda says. Owing to the cast’s maturity, the social commentary of the show has not gone undiscussed.

Aristophanes paints gender politics as complex, too; in one scene in particular, the women desperately try to escape their makeshift nunnery-like celibacy fortress to go find their husbands for, you

know, reasons. Lysistrata has to physically chase them down to keep them around; men aren’t painted as sex-starved dogs, nor are women endlessly pious.

But for the students, the greater ideas of justice via nonviolence stood out more strongly.

“It not only shows the power that a group of women can create, but it shows that it doesn’t have to be done with violence,” Duda says. “She confronts the patriarchy, but not with violence. And to

ornication is something immortal in mortality,” the scholar Jack Lindsay wrote, paraphrasing Plato. “[Plato] does not mean that the act itself is a godlike thing, a claim which any bedroom mirror would quickly deride.

He means that it is a symbol, an essential condition, and a part of something that goes deeper into life than any geometry of earth’s absurd, passionate, futile, and very necessary antics would suggest.”

In just two sentences, Lindsay elevates the idea of sexual innuendo from crude comedy to philosophical axiom in his introduction to his 2008 translation of the ancient Greek play Lysistrata by Aristophanes.

Of course, then, it goes without saying: Who better to put on this play and deal with these ideas than a bunch of high school students?

Hmm. Yet that’s precisely what’s being done this weekend by students of the New Mexico School for the Arts, New Mexico’s public arts high school. The student body (admitted based on audition) seems up to the task of presenting the racy story, which was first performed in 411 BC. The plot is fairly simple: The titular Lysistrata, a strong-willed woman in a Greece at war with itself, has grown tired of the fighting. Not to mention how all the young women’s husbands are off getting killed while the women are left to languish at home, alone and to do both shares of life’s work. (Ahem.) She springs an idea: Withhold physical affection until the war has ended. See how long the men can last.

This production, translated by Ian Johnston in 2010, is presented in easily accessible modern English and, by the way the students tell it, was actually way too dirty before it hit the hands of the faculty directors, Kate Chavez and Joey Chavez (no relation; the latter is referred to by students as Chav). I sat in on a Thursday afternoon rehearsal and some of the off-color jokes made me clutch my pearls; Kate Chavez laughed and said that this was nothing compared to the original script.

“Essentially, when Chav first told us that we were doing Lysistrata, everyone was like—‘What?!’” says senior Myriah Duda, who plays the title role. Further, of the original culled script, Duda says, “The men have these huge phalluses hanging around, and there are really sexist lines in there that we had to cut because it’s a school production.”

There was plenty of conversation about why this show was chosen, though.

“When I talked to Chav about why he

me, that is where real power is, to confront it with love; with graciousness and with a real willingness to stop [the war] … because she has been in pain, and her women have been in pain. It pointed out to me how strong women are in our power.”

Fellow senior Chloe Hanna, who plays the Leader of the Women’s Chorus, expands on the idea: “The cool message that this play gives out is that we’re all strong as individuals, but when we unite, we’re a force to be reckoned with. I think it’s something that’s happening all over the country; people are getting together and starting to unite, which is a really cool thing to see.”

The students of NMSA may be the perfect group to put this play on, not only due to their talent and professionalism, but because they’re particularly dialed-in to the current political climate in the United States.

Junior John Helfrich, who plays the Leader of the Men’s Chorus, says, “I think the social commentary should be given with a little comedy so it doesn’t become too mind-numbingly dark, you know?”

But that mind-numbing darkness is perhaps best processed through art; he continues, “At this school, everybody is very active, politically. We have a really good understanding of the issues that this play is making a commentary on. It’s actually pretty natural for us.”

Hanna is also of the mindset that they’re a student body uniquely qualified to put on such a charged show, and that it’s a credit to the school’s tight, respectful community. “We’re all very comfortable in speaking up and creating art like this, that is really political,” she says of her fellow students (other disciplines at NMSA currently include music, dance and visual art). “Even if we don’t see it in a political way, even if we’re just having fun making innuendos onstage.” She said that the directors, at the initial read-through, told the students that “this is a really important topic to talk about, especially now … and we want you to be responsible about this, and professional about this, but also have fun at the same time.”

The immense trust that the NMSA faculty has placed in the students will pay off this weekend, when you can see a student production with the wit, deftness and clarity to rival any professional play you could find (and, as it were, maybe with even less giggling in the wings).

Pho Real New Vietnamese spot exemplifies the just-OK

BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

I

really wanted to like Pho Ava (2430 Cerrillos Road, 577-6572), the sister restaurant of the Solana Center’s Pho Kim, operated by Jenny Huynh and Tommy Nguyen. Like its forebear, Ava sits in a little strip mall, and when I went to eat with a girlfriend on a Tuesday night, the place was pleasantly bustling amid bright emerald-green walls and spacious, comfortable tables.

The service was cheerful and pleasant for a casual food joint, and I was excited to maybe discover my next hole-in-thewall obsession, having read about the exciting, sprawling menu. It offers a variety of noodle-based dishes (everything from udon to egg to vermicelli) and a small selection of banh mi sandwiches plus jackfruit shakes and Thai tea.

So

ta n a S g Lon

But it was a cold winter night, and we both wanted soup, so we went with the rice noodle bowl with shrimp and scallops ($13) and an order of rare steak and brisket pho noodle soup ($11) along with tofu spring rolls ($4) and vegetable egg rolls ($6) to start.

Our starters and entrees arrived a minute or two apart from each other. At one point, I stood up to use the restroom with no food in front of me—and when I got back the egg and tofu rolls were already on the table with the bowls of soup mere moments away. Pho Ava is obviously a strip mall eatery that needs to turn tables quickly, so I wasn’t mad—and besides, eating spring rolls and pho at the same time wasn’t the worst thing in the world.

The eponymous pho was a little anticlimactic, however, but maybe that’s because I’m used to the rare beef arriving

Fe!

a r i M

on the side, to be dropped into the broth at table and “cooked” slightly by its heat.

But here, the rare beef arrived already in the soup, still pink on the inside. It was cooked through well enough, though without the presentation to make it fun and fresh. Perhaps it came that way because the soups were not particularly hot and cooled down very fast, which ultimately made their taste a lot less interesting.

Once we’d eaten the rare beef, the brisket felt coarse and chewy and didn’t really integrate with the soup very well, although the broth had a rich umami flavor profile (I’m not personally averse to MSG—but for those who are, it is a featured ingredient, according to Pho Ava’s menu). There was only cilantro on the herb plate, no basil, which I also found to be a letdown since cilantro is not really my flavor. There were bean sprouts and jalapeños, which I broke up into little pieces and tossed in the soup.

FOOD

While the pho broth hit the right notes for me, the shrimp and scallop rice soup tasted bland; like eating a bowl of lukewarm, watered-down broth with vermicelli noodles in it. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish the bowl, although it did come with wonderful tiny fried slices of scallion. Again, though, I would have preferred them served crunchy and fresh on the side, to be sprinkled into the soup throughout the meal, because they turned soggy pretty quickly.

The egg rolls were serviceable but bland; but the tofu rolls, with slightly firm and grilled tofu wrapped with basil leaves and vermicelli noodles and served alongside a peanut dipping sauce, were pretty great.

Considering how broad and interesting—and fresh—Vietnamese food can be, everything in front of me seemed even more perfunctory. When I think about the wonderful Vietnamese food I’ve had in New Mexico (Lan’s—RIP—springs to mind, not to mention a few spots in Albuquerque like Cafe Trang or Pho #1 that are well worth checking out), I don’t feel unreasonable in expecting more. On the whole, I felt unsatisfied for dropping $20-ish on a meal that didn’t really make me feel anything. I wish I could research or justify, but Pho Ava really just serves average-tasting food that isn’t too expensive and that doesn’t offer any deep revelation.

On the other hand, it was hot soup on a cold night with a friend and everything came to around $40 for two. For Santa Fe, that feels like a plus. But I am so tired of accepting mediocrity on the grounds that I live in a small town and there isn’t anything better around. I’d go back to try the banh mi (I’m all for Vietnamese food that embraces its French influences, and I wish someone in New Mexico would open up a restaurant that really digs deep into the cultural fusion that makes Vietnamese food so striking), but for the sake of the noodles, I’d rather eat elsewhere.

A Stupid and Futile Gesture Review Doug Kenney, The National Lampoon and the rebirth of comedy

8

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

Art had Warhol, jazz had Davis, rock had The Beatles and comedy had National Lampoon magazine. It is, in fact, so very possible to trace the roots of much seminal modern comedy back to the brainchild of Douglas Kenney and Henry Beard, two Harvard students turned utterly brilliant satirist-comedians, that it’s about a great a debt as can be owed.

Murrays, Belushis, Chases, Saturday Night Live, The Simpsons, Ghost Busters; Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, John Hughes, Caddyshack, Animal House—the list could and does go on and on—all began with the magazine and its outlying projects.

Director David Wain (The State, Wet Hot American Summer), arguably one of the funniest people in comedy today, understands this probably better than most and tells the eye-opening tale in the new Netflix original film, A Stupid and Futile Gesture. A sort of hybrid comedy-drama, Gesture examines the founding, rise and ultimate fall of the comedic empire, delving into its print product, its stage shows, radio programming and beyond.

Wain somehow encapsulates the era in a com-

+ VERY FUNNY;

REVERES COMEDY HISTORY RIGHT - WE STILL DON’T LIKE CHEVY CHASE

pletely accessible way, forming a subtle biopic of Kenney (SNL alum Will Forte) along the way and proving that the very funny and too-smart-fortheir-own-good are often haunted and tragic, hiding from their demons behind a thin wall of jokes.

National Lampoon is obviously a name known to many, perhaps depressingly so by this point (thanks for nothing, Van Wilder), but how many comedy titans started formidable careers there— and even how Saturday Night Live owes much, if not all, of its iconic status to poaching Kenney’s staff—is both fascinating and heartbreaking.

Forte makes a perfectly fine Kenney, though the legendary Martin Mull as the could-have-been narrative device steals much of his thunder. Star Wars’ Domhnall Gleeson may be the most surprising performance, however, slowly gaining traction as Henry Beard, a wonderfully hysterical straightguy counterpoint to Kenney’s absurdities and a charming example of how deadpan sells satire so

much better than off-the-wall does.

Other famous faces show up as well, from Joel McHale’s not-quite-right Chevy Chase and Natasha Lyonne’s boundary-breaking Anne Beatts to Thomas Lennon’s pitch-perfect asshole performance as the explosively dark and outrageous writer Michael O’Donoghue.

The takeaway, though, may be in A Stupid and Futile Gesture’s willingness to never take itself too seriously, even as it calls out drug abuse, toxic work environments and the inherent pressures of extreme popularity. Still, it’s a riveting watch for comedy fans who fall anywhere on the spectrum and a loving portrayal of the men and women who forever changed the game.

+ GORGEOUS; NEW MEXICO! - GIVE US MORE STUDI!

At about the 10th scene that finds its principal cast gathered around a campfire silently distrustful of one another, it starts to feel like Hostiles, the new Western from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper, could have focused more effort elsewhere.

It is late-1800s New Mexico; a post-Wounded Knee, post-Little Big Horn world where the white settlers simply take whatever land they want and the Indigenous people are understandably (like, 100 percent understandably) pissed.

But when aging US Army Captain Joe Blocker (Christian Bale) is forced to free and transport a dying Native prisoner named Chief Yellow Hawk (hometown hero Wes Studi) to Montana so he can die of cancer in peace and among his people, the divisions between mankind slowly fade and everyone involved learns valuable lessons—or dies trying.

Along for the ride are various other soldiers and Yellow Hawk’s family, plus the recently widowed and childless Rosalie Quaid (Rosamund Pike), whose family was cut down by Natives not of Yellow Hawk’s ilk. Every step of the way is rife with further terror, and every mile gained seems

to present new obstacles; from racial tensions and violent fur trappers to ruthless fellow soldiers and the unforgiving elements.

up feeling diluted. Yes, Bale is the draw here, and we get how the business of movies works, but Studi’s performance as the once-formidable Yellow Hawk could have hit much harder had they given him a few more lines or some definitive moment. We’re honestly left to believe that Bale’s character just kind of comes to release his

MARY AND THE WITCH’S FLOWER

hatred toward Indigenous people by the end with very little input from Yellow Hawk, other than a thoughtful word here or there. Seriously, though, one solid monologue from Studi could have completely turned this thing around.

Which isn’t to say it’s all bad. Breaking Bad alum Jesse Plemons comes in with a solid supporting role, and Ben Foster (Hell or High Water) shows up briefly as an unexpected villainous type who does have an interesting point about who ought cast the first stone. Even Pike’s ultimate badass moment makes some otherwise bizarre missteps with her character totally worth it. Sad, though, that the narrative skews more toward the white folk, even if they’re presented as monsters more often than not—but we certainly won’t say our perspective on a number of things didn’t shift.

We can confidently say Daniel Day-Lewis doesn’t give a shit about whether he wins that Best Actor Oscar this year. Homeboy’s done with acting and he’s done with you.

Le sigh. Fitting, then, that they’d go out with a bang and healthy dose of Anderson’s patented tortured-genius narrative style.

Day-Lewis is Reynolds Woodcock, a highly sought-after and eccentric dress designer in London circa 1950-something. The dresses are gorgeous, his ego less so, and his relationships with his sister (Lesley Manville) and modelmuses both are strained, if not downright abusive and fleeting. Strange, then, that he’d fall so quickly and deeply for young Alma (Vicky Krieps). The pair becomes inseparable, though neither is truly who the other believes; the work suffers, the relationship falters, the price of genius is laid bare.

Day-Lewis, as always, disappears completely into the role, bringing equal parts intensity and narcissistic charm to the talented yet childish Reynolds. The man always gets his way, even as those around him take great, pained strides to accommodate his nonsense. Alma becomes his match, though, proving there are nearly no depths to which she won’t sink to render him helpless in her care. Krieps shines in her more vulnerable moments, transitioning from starryeyed country girl to sneakily cutthroat hangeron. Is she in awe of Reynolds’ work and ethics, or does she simply gravitate toward him because it seems he could live without her? Even she can’t decide, perhaps, but even in her darker moments we understand—or at least try to—how she could hurt so bad and act so recklessly.

Anderson, of course, wrote and directed the film, and music from Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood (who also scored There Will Be Blood) is so subtle yet so essential that it drives us in a way few other scores really can without us ever noticing, moving seamlessly from minimalist, noise-adjacent moments of tension to light and airy jazz-like tunes during brief happy respites.

Day-Lewis has remained adamant that he doesn’t wish to discuss his retirement with the world at large, and that’s fine—but it really is a shame he’s chosen to call it quits. Reynolds may not prove to be his most-remembered role, though it certainly does allow him to go out strong. Phantom Thread is jarring and challenging, but unlike almost anything else out there. Surely that’s worth your attention. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 130 min.

+ JOURNO MOVIE DONE RIGHT! - PROTESTING CROWD SCENES WERE OVER-THE-TOP

How hopeful for our future that Hollywood produced a prequel that’s not fiction about a galaxy far, far away. Released 42 years after Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman won hearts for journalism on the big screen, The Post is what happened just before All the President’s Men—the

story of the story that finally took United States troops out of Vietnam.

At its locus is Daniel Ellsberg (Matthew Rhys), who you could think of the Edward Snowden of the analog era. The sheer mechanics of his leaking thousands of pages of top-secret Pentagon files to the New York Times required months of late-night copy sessions on a machine half the size of a Volkswagen. (From typewriters to rotary phones, hot lead setters and the printing press, it’s a kick to watch the machines in the movie—all thrummed along by an emotional score from John Williams.)

When the paper was halfway through a front-page series, a judge enjoined the Times against printing any more about the top-secret documents, and the competing Post got in on the story. Director Steven Spielberg focuses on the evolution of publisher Katharine Graham (Meryl Streep) at the side of pirate editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) as they navigate the choppy waters that ensue.

Streep’s Graham is more heroine in our book than Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, and we’d make the argument that her courage as the head of her father’s newspaper, a woman in a man’s world, is a bigger stride for feminism than swordfighting in a skirt. It’s her newspaper now. (Or it was, until it went public—and now, um, Amazon has it or something, but that’s another story.)

Hanks brings to Bradlee the gravely voice and straight-from-the-newsroom aggression that the editor was known for, and Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) is a treasure as tenacious reporter Ben Bagdikian. We can’t wait to hear some of these iconic lines again. (Julie Ann Grimm) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-14, 116 min.

+ ROBBIE IS FANTASTIC; FUNNY - BOBBY CANAVALE’S POINTLESS ROLE

Who among us doesn’t recall when figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was clubbed in the ’90s and the whole wide world implicated rival Tonya Harding? Chances are, the way it really went down is nothing like what you think. It was, in fact, so much stupider than one could possibly imagine, but with Suicide Squad‘s Margot Robbie leading the charge in I, Tonya from director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl), we do get an inside glimpse at Harding and her outliers, ultimately gaining much-needed perspective toward a sympathetic figure who was more tragic victim of circumstance than maniacal villain.

Robbie completely dominates as Harding, an abused and disadvantaged skater with stars in her eyes and just enough terrible hangers-on to make it all impossible. Whether skating was her own dream or one thrust upon her remains unclear, but as the first US athlete to pull off the mind-bogglingly difficult triple axel jump, she

MARY AND THE WITCH’S FLOWER

7

+ FLAWLESS ANIMATION;

WONDERFULLY WEIRD - PACING; UNCLEAR MOTIVATIONS

If Mary and the Witch’s Flower, the breakout animated film from recently formed Japanese animation outfit Studio Ponoc, seems immediately recognizable, that could be because many from Ponoc are former Ghibli people. Further, the overall narrative and setup are awfully familiar—young, seemingly incapable girl thrust into extraordinary and magical circumstances works it out on her own—with hints of Miyazaki classics like Castle in the Sky, Kiki’s Delivery Service and Spirited Away. Director Hiromasa Yonebayashi even went so far as to voice hesitations over those inevitable comparisons in an interview for The Verge in late 2017, but obviously the film was made all the same and it’s fine. Just fine.

Based on Mary Stewart’s 1971 book, The Little Broomstick, Mary and the Witch’s Flower follows a clever young girl named Mary (duh) who unwittingly winds up enrolled in a school for witches and warlocks. But when she uncovers the dubious methods of its headmistress and

top teacher, Mary discovers strength she didn’t know she had and sets about foiling their nefarious plot. There’s something in there about how one had the courage they needed all along, but the real draw here is in both the utter weirdness and the gorgeous animation.

Character and world designs are undoubtedly Ghibli-esque, but this is hardly a bad thing as backgrounds and detailed interiors shine almost always and the British countryside backdrop makes everything feel just a little more magical.

Regardless, the pacing feels off and the interplay between characters is almost always rushed. It’s hard to tell whether or not the school officials wish to do Mary harm, and even big-name performances from Kate Winslet and Jim Broadbent can’t work around that. It’s possible that the film’s transition to a new intended audience (American children) caused darker themes to be lost, but it’s hard to get a sense of motivation for anyone outside of “They do the things they do because they’re just those kinds of people.”

Kids, however, will love this movie. It’s cute and fun and speaks to what young people can accomplish if they’re given a chance to work things out on their own. Just don’t expect as timeless a tale as Miyazaki has created—he is, after all, the master—and prepare yourself to have unanswered questions by the uplifting end.

clearly had talent. Still, it was either unappreciated by snobby professional figure skating entities or squandered by her ruthless, self-interested mother (played brilliantly by recent Golden Globe winner Allison Janney) and abusive husband Jeff Gillooly (Sebastian Stan). According to the film, if Harding’s mother wasn’t hitting her, her husband was and, all the while, poverty prevented her from being presentable in the eyes of judges.

Things get pretty rough, but Robbie’s performance perfectly defines a flawed anti-heroine for whom things might have worked out so differently if not for her hot-headed temper and piss-poor relationships. We get the things out of her control almost immediately, and we really do feel for her—especially upon learning it was Gillooly’s thick-headed pal/Harding’s bodyguard, Shawn, who had planned and executed the incident.

This isn’t to say, however, that I, Tonya isn’t also very funny at times. Super Troopers’ Paul Walter Hauser sneaks up on you as the idiotic Shawn, and Julianne Nicholson (Black Mass) has an understated excellence as Harding’s coach and more positive maternal figure. Still, it’s Robbie who makes the film worth watching, even if its faux-documentary style errs a little more toward Ferris Bueller than Goodfellas. She showcases a natural depth and emotional access heretofore unseen from the relative rookie, and it couldn’t have been easy to make an audience root for a figure once so hated. All the same, at this point, Robbie could probably do whatever she felt like. We’d line up to see it. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 120 min.

SAM is in need of a new home because his mom has to move out of state to care for family member who is highly allergic to cats. The decision to separate SAM from the only home he has ever know was not made lightly. TEMPERAMENT: SAM is a wonderfully easygoing cat who should easily adapt to a new home as he is friendly and social with everyone he meets.

He is in remarkably good health for his age according to our veterinarian and the results of his senior blood panel were excellent, so he had a dental and is ready for a new home. AGE: born approx. August 2004.

MEGGIE was picked up in Santa Fe County as a stray, and brought to the SF Humane Society Animal Shelter.

They transferred her to us in order to help her find a new home.

TEMPERAMENT: Very outgoing, sociable and sweet. Although MEGGIE gets along with other cats, she would thrive as an only cat with someone or a family who can give her the attention she wants. She is a beautiful girl with a short coat and black tabby markings with white feet and a white chest in the tuxedo pattern. AGE: born approx. 7/4/10.
