This is 700 feet higher than the Colorado Springs training facility for the US Olympic Committee, and world-class athletes often have corporate sponsorships that would be great for Santa Fe’s economic development if they could be attracted here for training.

Great article—I love seeing Bill get some of the recognition he deserves. One clarification: Bill’s last two releases (All That’s Real and Where Lights Are Low) are on Howlin’ Dog Records, an independent label out of Alamosa, Colorado. And his previous two albums were recorded there. ... Thanks again for the great article!

The Land of Enchantment’s job picture is very rosy, but employment growth is not a given.

The truth is, we cannot take anything for granted, especially because of the new agenda we are seeing out of Santa Fe. The new governor, new regulators, and new legislators all are targeting the natural gas industry that the University of New Mexico Bureau of Business and Economic Research is sure will continue to create jobs. Regulators already have suspended a policy that would allow new wells. The governor, in her previous post in [Congress], called for more regulation at both the state and federal levels. She also opposed moves to expand natural gas production. She’s made it clear she’ll do the same as governor.

Not only would these restrictionist policies impact the number of new jobs the economy will create over the coming years, they’ll hinder efforts to transition to cleaner energy.

Wind and solar aren’t yet plentiful enough to meet energy demand. Without natural gas?

Well, then we’ll have to turn back to dirty coal.

I know that’s not what policymakers want, but they do need to consider the unintended consequences of their actions.

Dearth of Data

NEWS

New Mexico lacks criminal justice stats on race, ethnicity in arrests and detention

BY J E F F P RO CTO R @NMinDepth

MARCH 13-19, 2019

SFREPORTER.COM

The report included statistics known at the time: Black people and Hispanics were incarcerated in the federal system at far higher rates than whites. And its conclusions expanded the universe of knowledge: In the 48 states that gathered race and ethnicity data for state prison inmates, black people were locked up at 5.6 times the rate of white people, and Hispanics were imprisoned at nearly double the rate of whites.

Whether that’s true in New Mexico is simply not known, though experts interviewed for this story acknowledge that it may be a trickier question to parse in this state, which has large populations of Hispanics, Native Americans and people of mixed races and ethnicities.

Other states, including California and Florida, have passed laws requiring law enforcement and corrections departments to collect detailed information on the race of people who encounter the police and enter those states’ jails and prisons.

The dearth of racial or ethnic statistics, and a lack of emphasis on collecting them, contrasts legislators’ willingness to improve the state’s data-gathering and data-sharing capabilities in criminal justice related to rising crime rates in New Mexico.

HB 267 passed the state House on a unanimous, 62-0 vote on March 5 and is headed to the Senate. Based partly on the work of a task force headed by former state Supreme Court Justice Ed Chavez that urged the Legislature to pass a law that would assign a “unique identifying number” to every person who enters the criminal justice system. The unique ID would allow police departments, jails prisons and the Probation and Parole Division to share information and separate the most violent offenders from those living with serious mental illnesses and substance abuse problems.

The words “race,” “ethnicity” and “demographics” don’t appear in the bill.

“The only mention of race I can remember was a concern about whether compiling that information could be used for directed police activities that could compound the overrepresentation of minorities in the system,” said Linda Freeman, executive director of the New Mexico Sentencing Commission.

She and her deputy director Douglas Carver tell NMID they attended all but one of the task force’s meetings.

New Mexico is so far behind that simply ensuring various criminal justice entities communicate with each other was the group’s goal, Carver said.

“Once we do that, we can see where the gaps [in data] are and address those,” he said.

Those gaps, at least where drug arrests of non-white people are concerned, appears to be on Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s radar.

“Incarceration rate and arrest disparities with regard to drugs reflect a systemic, deeply broken aspect of criminal justice in this country,” she said through a spokesman in response to NMID questions.

“New Mexico should absolutely do what it can to both investigate and lead on corrective action.”

F

rom traffic stops to incarceration rates to drug arrests, New Mexico trails other states and the federal system in collecting key criminal justice data, particularly on race and ethnicity, a New Mexico In Depth analysis has found.

And despite a push from state lawmakers this 60-day legislative session to improve the state’s data collection efforts to inform better, “evidence-based” criminal justice policies, searching for potential racial disparities in policing, prisons and other areas doesn’t appear much of a priority.

“It’s puzzling,” said Steve Allen, policy director for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico. “If we’re going to have some sort of data-sharing process in place and data gathering, I would think race has to be central to that. It’s just gonna take a little bit of ingenuity and a little bit of prioritization from people in power.”

There are no state rules or laws that require law enforcement agencies to track the race or ethnicity of people their officers contact, stop in vehicles or arrest, according to the top two officials at the New Mexico Sentencing Commission, the state’s clearinghouse for criminal justice information.

And of New Mexico’s 33 county jails that do record the race or ethnicity of inmates, booking officers choose which race to enter on an intake slip, not the inmates themselves. Further, the only mention in state law of gathering race or ethnicity information for people in prisons is from 1955, and it places the onus on doctors to examine new inmates and record in a private “register” their “nationality or race.”

It’s just one among many longstanding problems associated with New Mexico’s data gap, the officials say.

In 2007, the Sentencing Project, a national nonprofit group that advocates for prison reforms, released a study examining the racial makeup of state prison populations. New Mexico and Wyoming were the only two states for which no figures were available.

Booking data on race at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center is fuzzy.

Allen of the ACLU wonders why, in the push for more comprehensive justice system data, collecting racial and ethnic information isn’t part of the discussion “because we know from national data that racial disparities are shot through the entire system.”

“It would be surprising if we didn’t find them in New Mexico, but we need better data so that we can have real conversations about this,” he said.

A CASE STUDY Allen is quick with an anecdote.

In 2017, his organization partnered with the Drug Policy Alliance, New Mexico Voices For Children and Young Women United to look at drug arrests and jail bookings in Bernalillo County.

For the ACLU, it was an attempt to localize the group’s seminal national report, The War on Marijuana in Black and White, which found that, although Black and white people used marijuana at roughly the same rate between 2001 and 2010, Black people were nearly four times more likely to be arrested for possession.

Immediately, the groups hit roadblocks with race data from arrests.

“We had to inquire with every local law enforcement agency individually, which is

Recognizing the year’s worst in government transparency

BY THE ELECTRONIC F R E E D O M F O U N D AT I O N

A

round the world, nerds of all ages are using laws like the United States’ Freedom of Information Act (and state-level equivalent laws) to pry free secrets and expose the inner workings of our democracy. Each year, open government advocates celebrate these heroes during Sunshine Week, an annual advocacy campaign on transparency.

But too often, government officials devise novel and outrageous ways to reject requests for informa-

tion or otherwise stymie the public’s right to know.

Even today, the White House continues to withhold key documents from the Kennedy assassination files.

Since 2015, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (a nonprofit that advocates for free speech, privacy and government transparency in the digital age) has published The Foilies to recognize the bad actors who attempted to thwart the quests for truth. With these tongue-in-cheek awards, we call out attempts to block transparency, retaliation against those who exercise their rights to information, and the most ridiculous examples of incompetence by government officials who handle these public records.

The Unreliable Narrator Award: President Donald Trump, the US Department of Justice and US District Court Judges

Sunshine laws? Tech giants think they can just blot those out with secretive contracts. But two nonprofit groups— Working Partnerships and the First Amendment Coalition—are fighting this practice in California by suing the city of San Jose over an agreement with Google that prevents city officials from sharing the public impacts of development deals, circumventing the California Public Records Act. Google’s proposed San Jose campus is poised to have a major effect on the city’s infrastructure, Bloomberg reported. Yet, according to the organization’s lawsuit, records analyzing issues of public importance such as traffic impacts and environmental compliance were among the sorts of discussions Google demanded be made private under their non-disclosure agreements.

And it’s not just Google using these tactics. An agreement between Amazon and Virginia includes a provision that the state will give the corporate giant a heads-up when anyone files a public records request asking for information about them, and the Columbia Journalism Review reported Facebook has also used this increasingly common strategy.

When President Trump tweets attacks about the intelligence community, transparency groups and journalists often file FOIA requests (and, subsequently, lawsuits) seeking the documents that underpin his claims.

Do Trump’s smartphone rants break the seal of secrecy on confidential programs?

The answer seems to be no.

Multiple judges have sided with Justice Department lawyers, concluding that his Twitter disclosures do not mean that the government has to confirm or deny whether records about those activities exist.

In a FOIA case seeking documents that would show whether Trump is under investigation, US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said that the president’s tweets to that effect are “speculation.” Similarly, in a FOIA suit to get more information about the widely publicized dossier of potential ties between Trump and Russia, US District Judge Amir Mehta said that the President’s statements are political rather than “assertions of pure fact.”

The Unnecessary Box Set Award: Central Intelligence Agency

The Cross-Contamination Award: Stanford Law Professor Daniel Ho

After suing the CIA to get access to information about Trump’s classified briefings, Kel McClahanan of the National Security Counselors was expecting the agency to send over eight agreed-upon documents.

What he was not expecting was for the files—each between three and nine pages each—to be spread out across six separate CD-ROMs, each burned within minutes of each other. A standard CD-ROM can hold 700 MB, and all of the files took only 304 KB of space.

In Washington State, filing a public records request can put the requester at legal risk of being named in a lawsuit should someone else not want the records to be made public. This is what happened to Sarah Schacht, a Seattle-based open government advocate and consultant. For years Schacht has used public records to advocate for better food safety rules in King County.

department, she received a warning in November 2018 from Stanford Law School professor Daniel Ho’s attorney threatening to sue her unless she abandoned her request. Apparently, Ho has been working with the health department to study the new food safety and placard regulations. He had written draft studies that he shared with the health department, making them public records.

Ho’s threat amounted to an effort to intimidate Schacht from receiving public records, probably because he had not formally published his studies first.

Fortunately, the lawsuit never materialized, and Schacht was able to receive the records. Although Ho’s threats made him look like a bully, the real bad actor in this scenario is Washington State’s public records law. The CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

COURTESY THE DAILY CALLER

ProPublica reporter Jessica Huseman has been digging deep into the child welfare system and what happens when child abuse results in death. While following up on a series of strangulations, she requested a copy of a case file from the St. Joseph County Superior Court in Indiana. Apparently, the clerk on the other end simply took the entire file and ran everything through a scanner.

The problem was that the file contained a CD-ROM, and that’s not how CD-ROMs work. Huseman posted to Twitter, along with the blotchy black-and-white image of the top of the disc: “They scanned a CD as part of my FOI and didn’t give me its contents.

Muckrock editor JPat Brown filed a Freedom of Information Act request for emails related to the video, but the FCC rejected the request, claiming the communications were protected “deliberative” records.

Brown appealed the decision, and the FCC responded by releasing all the email headers, while redacting the contents, claiming that anything more would cause “foreseeable harm.”

The Preemptive Shredding Award: Inglewood Police Department In defiance of the law enforcement lobby, California legislators passed a law (SB 1421) requiring police and sheriffs to disclose officer misconduct records in response to California Public Records Act requests.

Almost immediately, police unions across the Golden State began to launch lawsuits to undermine these new transparency measures. But the Inglewood Police Department takes the prize for its efforts to evade scrutiny. Mere weeks before the law took effect on Jan. 1, 2019, the agency began

destroying records that were set to become publicly available.

“This premise that there was an intent to beat the clock is ridiculous,” Inglewood Mayor James T Butts Jr. told the LA Times in defending the purge.

We imagine Butts would find it equally ridiculous to suggest that the fact he had also been a cop for more than 30 years may have factored into his support for the destruction of records.

The What the Swat?

Award: Nova Scotia and Halifax Law Enforcement One Wednesday morning in April, 15 Halifax police officers raided the home of a teenage boy and his family. “They read us our rights and told us not to talk,” his mother would later tell CBC. “They rifled through everything. … It was totally devastating and traumatic.”

What was the Jack Bauer-class threat to geo-political stability? Nothing at all: The Canadian teen had just downloaded a host of public records from openly available URLs on a government website.

The website created to host the province’s public records was designed in such a way that every request and response had a nearly identical URL and placed no technical restrictions on the public’s ability to access any of the requests. This meant that regular public records requests and individuals’ requests to access government files about them, which included private information, were all stored together and available on the internet for anyone, including Google’s webcrawler, to access.

All that was necessary was changing a number identifying the request at the end of the URL.

Seattle police estimated they need 320 years to review emails for a requester.

for its rally. The California Highway Patrol rejected the request for this normally available document, claiming it was related to a criminal investigation.

Two years later, evidence emerged during criminal proceedings that a CHP detective used the public records request as a bargaining chip in a phone call with the TWP protest leader, who was initially reluctant to provide information. The officer told him how the request might reveal his name. “We don’t have a reason to … uh … deny [the request],” the officer said, according a transcript of the call. But once the organizer decided to cooperate, the officer responded, “I’m gonna suggest that we hold that or redact your name or something … uh … until this thing gets resolved.”

In light of these new facts, the First Amendment Coalition filed a new request for the same document. It too was denied.

What Nova Scotian officials should have done upon learning about leaks in their own public records website’s problems was apologize to the public, thank the teen who found these gaping holes in their digital security practices, and implement proper restrictions to protect people’s private information.

They didn’t do any of that, and instead sought to improperly bring the force of Canada’s criminal hacking law down on the very person who brought the problem to light.

The whole episode—which thankfully ended with the government dropping the charges—was a chilling example of how officials will often overreact and blame innocent third parties when trying to cover up for their own failings.

The Outrageous Fee Request of the Year: City of Seattle When self-described transparency advocate and civic hacker Matt Chapman

sent his request to Seattle seeking the email metadata from all city email addresses, he expected some pushback, because it does sound like an incredible amount of data to wrangle.

Seattle’s response: All the data can be yours for a measly $33 million. Officials estimated that it would take 320 years worth of staff time to review the roughly 32 million emails responsive to Chapman’s request. Oh, and they estimated charging an additional $21,600 for storage costs associated with the records. The fee request is the second-highest in the history of The Foilies.

Then the city did something entirely unexpected: It revisited the fee estimate and determined that the first batch of records would cost only $1.25 to process. We get it, math is hard.

But wait—that’s not all. After paying for the batches of records with a series of $1.25 checks, rather than disclosing just the metadata for all 32 million emails, Seattle had given Chapman the first 256 characters of every email.

Those snippets included passwords, credit card numbers and other personally identifying information.

The Intern Art Project Award: Vermont Gov. Phil Scott Seattle isn’t the only city to stumble in response to Matt Chapman’s public records requests for email metadata.

The Vermont governor’s office also wins for its scissor-and-glue approach to releasing electronic information.

Rather than export the email information as a spreadsheet, the Vermont governor’s office told Chapman it had five interns (three of whom were unpaid) working six hours each, literally “cutting and pasting the emails from paper copies.” Next thing Chapman knew, he had a 43-page hodgepodge collage of email headers correlating with one day’s worth of messages. The governor’s attorney told Chapman it would cost $1,200 to process three more days’ worth of emails.

Chapman pushed back and provided his own instructions on exporting the data using a computer and not, you know, scissors and glue. Sure enough, he received a 5,500-line spreadsheet a couple weeks later at no charge.

The Least Transparent Employer Award: US Department of Justice In the last few years, we’ve seen some great resignation letters from public servants, ranging from Defense Secretary James Mattis to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

But the Trump DOJ seems to have had enough of the tradition and has now determined that US Attorney resignation letters are private in their entirety and cannot be released under the Freedom of Information Act. Past administrations have released resignation letters that are critical of executive branch leaders. The change in policy raises the question: What are departing US Attorneys now saying that the government wants to hide?

The Clawback Award: The Broward County School Board After the tragic Parkland shooting, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel went to court to force the Broward County School Board to hand over documents detailing the shooter’s education and disciplinary record. A judge agreed and ordered the release, as long as sensitive information was redacted.

But when reporters copied and pasted the file into another document, they found that the content under the redactions was still there and readable.

They broke the story of how the school denied the shooter therapeutic services and alternative education accommodations, but then uploaded the school board’s report with working redactions.

Rather than simply do better with double-checking their redactions next time, the school board struck back at the newspaper. They petitioned the court to hold the newspaper in contempt and to prevent anyone from reporting on the legally obtained information. Although the local judge didn’t issue a fine, she lambasted the paper and threatened to dictate exactly what the paper could report about the case in the future (which is itself an unconstitutional prior restraint).

The Wrong Way to Plug a Leak Award: City of Greenfield, California The Monterey County Weekly unexpectedly found itself in court after the city of Greenfield, California, sued to keep the newspaper from publishing documents about the surprising termination of its city manager.

When Editor Sara Rubin asked the interim city manager for the complaint the outgoing city manager filed after his termination, she got nothing but crickets. But then, an envelope containing details of a potential city political scandal appeared on the doorstep of one of the paper’s columnist—then, the morning of publication, the paper got a call saying that they were due in court. The city sued to block publication of the documents, to have the doc-

What followed was a series of conversations between Chapman, Seattle’s lawyers, and the city’s IT folks to ensure he’d deleted the records and that the city hadn’t just breached its own data via a public records request.

Brigham Young University argues that its police department is not subject to Utah’s public records laws.

uments returned and to have the paper reveal the identity of the leaker.

Attorney Kelly Aviles of the First Amendment Coalition gave everyone a fast lesson in the First Amendment, pointing out that the paper had every right to publish. The judge ruled in the paper’s favor, and the city ended up paying all of the Monterey County Weekly’s attorney fees.

police department is clearly a state agency, but the issue is now on appeal at the Utah Supreme Court. Sometime this year we should learn if the police are a part of the government or not.

Congressional elections can turn ugly, but the opponent of newly elected US Rep. Abigail Spanberger got a boost when the US Postal Service released Spanberger’s entire personnel file, including her security clearance application, without redaction of highly sensitive personal information.

When a third party requests a person’s federal employment file without the employee’s permission, the government agency normally releases only a bare-bones record of employment dates, according to a Postal Service spokesperson. But somehow Rep. Spanberger wasn’t afforded these protections, and the Postal Service has potentially made this mistake in a “small number” of other cases this year. The Postal Service has apologized for the mistake, which they say is human error.

After the Salt Lake Tribune exposed that the university punished survivors of sexual assault for coming forward and reporting, the paper tried to get records of communications between the police department and the school’s federally required sexual assault coordinator. Brigham Young University pushed back, saying that the police department is not subject to Utah’s Government Records Access and Management Act because the police department is privately funded.

This turns out to be a trickier legal question than you’d expect. BYU itself isn’t covered by the state law because it is a private school. But the university police force was created by an act of the Utah legislature, and the law covers entities “established by the government to carry out the public’s business.” Investigating crime and arresting people seems like the public’s business.

Last summer, a judge ruled that the

When the Path Leads

COURTESY KATIE ARNOLD

SFREPORTER.COM/NEWS/THEENTHUSIAST

Local author Katie Arnold’s memoir charts her course through grief to ultramarathons

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

I

n a series of photographs Katie Arnold took, she watches her father, ill with cancer, shrinking into himself at the same time her newborn daughter, looped into his arms or stretched out on the floor beside him, is daily gaining in size and strength. She experienced it then like the perpetual cycle of life playing out in devastating and visible margins.

On the heels of her father’s passing in 2010, she was besieged with a sense of her own mortality, and how critically she needed to stay alive for her daughters—which fed into intense postpartum anxiety. She took to running, often on the near-memorized trail up Atalaya, close to her home in Santa Fe, to cope. And she began to run farther and faster—eventually going on to win ultramarathons, including last summer’s Leadville 100. She writes about the nearly 10-year journey in her recently released memoir, Running Home.

“People love to talk about, ‘You’re running away from something’—and there are days when I’m running away from, like, grocery shopping. But way skewed in the other direction is that I’m running toward who I am,” she says. “I’m running

For years, Katie Arnold felt drawn to run for miles without knowing exactly why. The answers filled a book.

toward my real self and my creativity, and I’m running toward how I want to be a mother, showing my girls you can do things you didn’t think were possible, and you can have those voices of doubt in your head and still prevail.”

Running Home became the title, she says, because “that was the overarching feeling of what I was doing.”

But she didn’t know that when she started. She moved through it all, heading into the unfamiliar territory that lay on the far side of those tough months, not knowing how much of what followed would be even harder, or who she would learn how to become along the way. And that, she says now, was something of a gift.

“The unknowing is the fertile part,” she says. “That’s the part where there’s growth, there’s potential, and things align.

To use a word that maybe people might balk at, it’s a magical place. Things present themselves that if you’re just using your rational mind you would be shut down to or go, ‘No, I have to stay on my path.’ Running is the thing, and it’s also the metaphor. It’s also the way I learned these truths, which is to go forward into the unknown, literally one step at a time.”

In the book’s opening pages, she’s in the thick of the Jemez Mountain 50K, her first ultramarathon. Then it jumps back in chronology to piece together her childhood, her parents’ divorce, and the 10K race her father signed her and her sister up for when they were children, an experience that taught her to appreciate suffering and its rewards.

Running became a personal outlet through college, one of the ways she got

to know and celebrate her new independent life in a new town when she moved at age 23 to Santa Fe for a job with Outside Magazine, and how she learned to write— feeling a simultaneous flow of the world and words. (She’s finally swapped the index cards for note-taking that she used to tuck in her sports bra for her phone’s voice recorder.) That connection to her writing gives running a timelessness, she says: “No matter what happens with my running as a competitive runner, it will always be how I tell stories.”

For now, she’s still training, with more 50-mile and 100-mile races on her calendar.

What the races and her father’s coming and going tie together is a sense of acceptance to combat the anxiety that had started to take over her life. As a runner, she routinely has to practice the wisdom that even the best preparation can’t control every outcome. That transfers right over to what she knew and couldn’t know about her father, and what she learned and could say only after he was gone.

How these pieces intertwined has become clear only in time and through the writing that went into this book. It’s a rare privilege of time and space to give ourselves: to set out on a trail uncertain exactly where it will go.

“It can be years before we know what our path was,” she says. “You can’t rush the story. The story is playing out and you’re living it; like you’re in this circle, and it’s only when you get to a certain point that you get the perspective to look back. And there’s no ending, as I found in the book. The ending is actually the beginning. I think that’s what makes it so amazing. It’s just this thing that keeps spinning.”

MUSIC TUE/19 SHEER GRACE This is not the punk rock you might have been expecting from Against Me! founder and frontwoman Laura Jane Grace—this is intimate and pared-back; this is a glorious break from the norm from a poetic lyricist looking to expand her horizons and merge certain punk undertones with elements of stoner rock, folk punk and introspection. Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers’ debut Bought to Rot from late 2018 has famously been referred to as a sort of mixtape by Grace herself, a coming-together of varying styles meant to serve as a side quest for the Florida musician and friends. And though it might not wow the punk set or even be particularly recognizable, Grace’s ethos and ability are as sharp as ever.

Side project? Maybe—but a powerfully enticing one every bit as meaningful as Grace’s more wellknown material. (ADV) Laura Jane Grace and the Devouring Mothers: 7 pm Tuesday March 19. $22-$25. Meow Wolf, 1352 Rufina Circle, 395-6369.

MUSIC SUN/17

John ‘n’ Greg ‘n’ Casey John Francis Trio plays the hits “If we want to narrow it down to songwriters, I’d say it sounds like The Beatles meets JJ Cale meets James Taylor,” musician Greg Butera says of the John Francis Trio, a new-ish act comprised of Butera on electric guitar alongside principal songwriter and guitarist John Francis Mustain and bassist Casey Anderson. “There’s definitely some mellowness to it, there’s some smooth stuff, but we don’t hesitate to get a little more rocking.”

As leader of the group, Mustain agrees, though cites everything the band does as the organic coming-together of the collaboration rather than some mandate he’s driving toward in his mind. He says the bulk of decisions rest with him, but he’s chosen to work with Butera and Anderson because he trusts them and their musicality completely.

“I don’t have arrangements for three different musicians,” Mustain tells SFR, “and I do try to keep it open to [Butera and Anderson]—they’re pros, and I want them to be invested in the songs.”

Mustain hails from Mississippi and came up singing in the church. Such gospel tunes are part of the foundation of his songwriting, but he says his

father’s collection of Beatles, The Cars and soul and Motown played their part as well. Without pigeonholing his own sound, Mustain most often describes his catalog as pop music with threepart vocal harmonies; there’s a certain country bent in the music’s subtext courtesy of Butera, and Anderson’s jazzy sensibilities play a role as well, though neither overtly. Think of the John Francis Trio like an amalgamation of Santa Fe’s favorite genres pushed through Mustain’s introverted singer-songwriter filter.

Mustain’s story is a common one for plenty of residents—head to Santa Fe and find yourself—and he maintains his move here five-ish years ago helped him evolve as a person and songwriter.

“I feel like Santa Fe has been a place that I’ve been allowed to grow up in, and to have the time to figure out the direction I’m gonna grow up,” he says. “Success is an interesting word. I think I’m finding the foundation of that in Santa Fe in a lot of realms.” (Alex De Vore) JOHN FRANCIS TRIO 7 pm Sunday March 17. Free.

MUSIC

COURTESY CLARA NATONABAH

Taking to the Stage

Santa Fe Indian School’s annual Celebration of the Arts continues to grow

They’re celebrating music and the arts at the Santa Fe Indian School this weekend.

BY LUKE HENLEY a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

O

ver the last three years, what started as a small celebration for young Native and Indigenous voices at the Santa Fe Indian School has become a full-on movement.

Through the annual Celebration of the Arts, students get a platform for expression that amplifies their creative talents to a growing audience that spreads beyond their peers and faculty and into the broader community. With a focus on live performance and visual arts, the yearly concert exists to bring young people who might otherwise not feel heard or seen into the spotlight. With the celebration entering its fourth year, the crowd is expected to be even bigger than the last.

Since 2016, Clara Natonabah (Diné)— the school’s first-ever performing arts teacher—has collaborated with students to provide an outlet for sharing original

work, but also for networking with older artists who are professionals in their fields.

“That was sort of the whole drive behind what’s now become a movement at the school,” says Natonabah. “We unite professional Native artists and musicians with up-and-coming youth who are also in that same community and growing out of their shell.”

To that end, this year’s concert includes performances from accomplished songwriters, poets and speakers Lyla June (Diné/Cheyenne) and Tanaya Winder (Duckwater Shoshone/ Southern Ute/Pyramid Lake Paiute/ Diné/Black). This environment of collaboration connects real-world Native artists successfully navigating professional markets for music and visual art, and the results seem to be emboldening students to make major moves even at a young age.

Two such creators are Aaron Tenorio (Kewa Pueblo) and Allen Quanie (Hopi), talented lyricists and hip-hop artists who

perform separately under the respective monikers MC Slader and Al-Q. At just 17, each has released music that sounds more confident and intentional than that of artists 10 years their senior.

Tenorio credits the Celebration of the Arts for helping him incubate into the artist he is today. In eighth grade, he performed an Eminem cover at the first annual celebration. Urged on by the positive reaction of the crowd, he has since performed only original material.

Tenorio’s lyrics are unafraid to tackle charged topics, such as on his original song “Amerikkka,” a call to action in rooting out government corruption with plenty of bold condemnations of Trump. The music is not angry, however; rather, it’s measured and informed, and Tenorio says his optimistic point of view is meant to spur positive community action.

“Music drives me. It gives me a sense of purpose,” he tells SFR. He also credits the Celebration of the Arts for continuing to influence that purpose.

“When you’re on that stage, you shine. It’s beautiful,” he says. “You see everyone’s true being on the stage.”

With the experience he’s rolled up at the school, Tenorio has also gone on to perform out of state in collaboration with Albuquerque-based selffunded arts organization Native Artists in Action, providing free and charitable concerts as far as South Dakota, where the group performed at a commemoration of the Battle of Greasy Grass, the site of General Custer’s sound defeat.

Quanie has likewise been inspired by the Celebration of the Arts. With an easy and punchy flow, he uses rap and hip-hop as a foundation for his deeply personal songwriting. He voices hope that his music can act as both outlet and inspiration.

“Native kids don’t really have a voice, so that kind of drove me,” Quanie tells SFR. “I want to give them a voice and lead them in the right direction.” Performance helps alleviate some of that feeling of invisibility, and Quanie says, “It brought me a good feeling. People actually listen to you.”

As for the celebration’s influence on his self-confidence and music?

“It helped me with actually connecting with people to show them who I am.”

Natonabah and her students have helped create a special space for young Native voices to be heard, something all too rare in Santa Fe and even more so in the United States at large. It’s heartening to see her work gain the audience it deserves and for it to grow each year.

“It’s always love-based,” Natonobah posits, “celebrating these youth voices that sometimes need a little bit of encouragement to get out there.”

We are lucky to hear them.

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

W

hether or not you consciously know it, improv comedy has a deep connection to almost everything that makes you laugh—from the hallowed halls of the Second City to the Upright Citizens’ Brigade’s fostering of countless big-name comedians.

And there, somewhere in the fray, or perhaps floating ominously overhead, has stood Whose Line is it Anyway?, the British program of improvisational comedy games that premiered there in 1989 wound up in America a decade later under the moderation of Drew Carey, and again more recently on The CW with Aisha Tyler of Archer fame. fame. The show churned out comedy stars like Wayne Brady and Greg Proops and made big names of quick-witted comedy stalwarts like Brad Sherwood and Colin Mochrie, a pair that comes to Scared Script ScriptSanta Fe this week for their Scared less tour.

A veritable cornucopia of familiar games from Whose Line,, new ones Sherwood and Mochrie have developed over 16 years of touring together and 30 years of friendship, Scriptless is the culmination of a lot of hard work and comedic know-how. or some (I’m one of those some), For this news will be exciting; for others, improv conjures vision of college student nonsense perpetrated d by talentless 19-year-olds stumbling their way through references to bullshit. All Sherwood and Mochrie ask is that you keep an open mind.

“I don’t think anybody wants to see bad improv,” Sherwood tells SFR. He missed our first scheduled phone interview, but that’s OK because I’ve been watch-

ing Whose Line since the womb and he can do what he wants. “Amazing improv, that’s hilarious, but it lives and dies by people’s first experiences. If you go see a stand-up, and they’re not funny, that doesn’t mean you’ll never see stand-up again. If you see bad improv …”

Lucky, then, that Sherwood and Mochrie are brilliant and part of the semi new guard that merges American, British and Canadian humor sensibilities. For Mochrie, a native of Canada, it might come down to geography.

“We were fortunate enough in that we got the best of American and British comedy, and we really seem to understand both forms,” Mochrie says of his homeland.

“American humor could be more observational and acerbic; Britain could be more surreal, like Monty Python. And we seem

WARM LINE

Line? And it was sort of, ‘Oh, yeah. It’s the lazy laugh to go with,’” Mochrie says.

“I’m fighting 60 years of conditioning— I’ve never been consciously racist or transphobic, and yet, some of the stuff that has come out during my improv was because of the time I grew up; you get a lot of positive feedback, but there’s a flip side where you can say one thing that immediately destroys a whole segment of the population.”

Mochrie says that because of this, he’s evolved as a performer and comedian.

He’s been mindful of how his words affect people: “It makes you work harder and work toward not doing the lazy joke,” he says. “You get laughs without denigrating a section of the population.” He’s also been known to call out comics for transphobic material.

As for the Santa Fe show, expect proven Whose Line games like sound effects and the moving body (Google them if you don’t know; laugh a little), audience pariticpation and, if the audience is lucky/feeling sadistic, the mouse trap game which, without spoilers, is probably every bit as painful as its name implies. Still, there’s a sibling-like camaraderie onstage that comdoesn’t always occur naturally in the com cutedy world. In that industry, there is cut throat competition and the brutal race to the top. Sherwood and Mochrie, however, have risen, smartly, in tandem. be“I hate to use the word competition, be cause it has the negative aspect, but we’re trying to one-up each other to see who can have the most fun,” Mochrie says.

“I think it teaches you not to take fail failure as a setback, but to turn it into somesome thing funny,” Sherwood says. “Improv teaches you that there’s an infinite number of choices you can make.”

With a combined 250 years of improv experience, Colin Mochrie (left) and Brad Sherwood’s Scared Scriptless show might just be a can’t-miss.

to have melded some sort of humor from those two.”

Sherwood, meanwhile, grew up in Santa Fe and attended Santa Fe Prep and Santa Fe High, so it’s anyone’s guess as to why he’s so funny. (Jay kay.) “[After college] I moved to LA, and was working in production when a friend of mine said I should do this improv class he was taking,” Sherwood reminisces. “I always say it’s like the heavens opened up and this was what I was supposed to do— like someone handed me a martial art.”

Mystery solved.

But it’s also about keeping spry—years of touring would keep any improviser sharp—and punching up. In 2017, Mochrie’s daughter Kinley came out as trans, and as he was defending her right to exist, he was also learning to undo years of comedic and personal conditioning.

“When my daughter came out, I posted [about support] on Twitter, and I received an email from a gentleman in London who ran an LGBTQ+ improv troupe who said congrats for being so supportive, but could I be more aware of the homophobic and transphobic things I do on Whose

THE CALENDAR with Hester Sunshine

COURTESY SUNSHINEBYHESTER.COM

Hester Sunshine spent her adolescence in Santa Fe and moved to New York to pursue her passion for fashion. Now her “colorful clown couture with a vintage punk rock edge” (quoth her designer bio) is challenging norms on the latest season of the competition reality show Project Runway, which returns to Bravo on Thursday March 14 with a whole new cast of judges, including designer Brandon Maxwell and supermodel Karlie Kloss.

(Leah Cantor) What are your creative visions and your inspirations as a designer?

I like to create whimsical, intellectual garments that tell a story and also make the wearer feel transported. I like to make things that create a new fantasy for the wearer and for the viewer.

Some of my biggest inspirations are fashion from the early ‘90s. I grew up being what I thought was super punk rock as a teenager in Santa Fe, but also creating my own interpretation of that identity and my own understanding of what it means to be alternative. I guess my aesthetic is about standing out and being different and not subscribing to any subculture in particular. I have a lot of punk rock influences, I have a lot of vintage influences in my style, but I try to kind of tie that all together with a clowny cheerfulness and playfulness. I like to create things that make people smile.

Is it challenging coming onto season 16 of Project Runway as a self-described “fashion outsider?”

To be honest, I actually feel like this made it more possible for me to be on the show because the fashion world is changing so much and this season there’s room for someone like me—someone who isn’t commercial, who speaks to a new audience. I feel like I represent a side of fashion that we haven’t really seen on Project Runway before. I’m here to change ideas of fashion and I’m not just here to make pretty clothing, and so I feel like that definitely helps me stand out.

If you could design for anyone, who would it be?

If I could design for anyone, I would want to make something for Janelle Monae. I am obsessed with her. She’s brilliant and weird, and she’s okay with being weird and different.

She’s become an amazing cultural icon for queer culture.

Eat Like a On the budget of a [relative] pauper

BY ZIBBY WILDER a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

O

ne of the best things about Santa Fe is the breadth of quality restaurants we have to choose from. Whether we’re craving local flavors or looking for something more exotic, options abound. Sometimes, it feels like too many. I don’t know about you, but I can’t afford to try every place I want to—especially the fancy ones. While I like to think I deserve a beautiful meal and enjoy being doted on a little, it’s just not practical. But being practical (about food) is not something that makes me very happy.

Thank goodness, then, for Santa Fe Restaurant Week. Every year, Santa Febased marketing and PR firm Wings Media Network organizes New Mexico Restaurant Week, giving people around the state “the opportunity to try new restaurants they might have overlooked or feel they couldn’t afford. Restaurants get to ‘put their best food forward’ in order to gain new fans and can experiment with menu items. Above all, it showcases New Mexico as one of the world’s premier dining destinations,” according to Wings’ website.

For a fixed price, ranging from $15-$45, diners can enjoy three-course meals for lunch or dinner, from East African cuisine at Jambo Café (2010 Cerrillos Road, 473-1269) to traditional Iranian dishes at Milad Persian Bistro (802 Canyon Road, 303-3581). Santa Fe’s 10th annual Restaurant Week recently came to a close, and if you weren’t fast enough to make a reservation, you should be marking your calendar for 2020.

Until then, there is a way you can try out some of Santa Fe’s best restaurants without breaking the bank: Hit the bars!

Most of Santa Fe’s finer eating establishments offer a small bar menu, making it possible to try something from their storied kitchens without breaking the bank.

Open daily at 5:30, Geronimo’s Borrego House (724 Canyon Road, 982-1500) fills quickly with Canyon Road locals and tourists, thanks to a neverending wave of “best in the country” accolades. The four small tables and all but one of the six bar stools were already occupied when I arrived just before 6 pm on a weekday. Despite the crowd, the feel of the bar was still elegant and romantic, if a step removed from the refined experience of the main dining rooms.

The full dinner menu is available in the bar but, sensing “fine dining on a budget” danger, I turned it down in favor of the nine-item lounge menu. A mesquite-grilled prime flat iron steak ($19) seemed like a great price from a kitchen known for its mastery of meat, as did the comfort-food standard green chile mac and cheese studded with Applewood-smoked bacon ($12). Even though my heart yearned for the Maine lobster tempura ($24), I somehow reined myself in and settled on the Fujisaki Asian pear salad ($12) featuring Bleu d’Auvergne “grilled cheese,” arugula, watercress, cashews and cider-honey vinaigrette. It was a thrilling combination of flavors and a great precursor to goodies waiting on Geronimo’s dinner menu when my next birthday rolls around. Like that lobster.

Emboldened by my economical eating success, I joined some friends in the bar at Sazón (221 Shelby St., 983-8604).

FOOD

The Compound’s wild mushroom and organic stone ground polenta and a juicy blood orange margarita.

Though small, the space is comfortable and airy, with nine bar stools and six twotops. The bar opens an hour earlier than the dining room and offers up stellar service and some quiet time to peruse menus.

The bar “antojitos” menu is available beginning at 4 pm and features sophisticated takes on traditional Mexico City street and market foods including Oaxaqueños ($17), which are chapulines (baby grasshoppers) infused with olive oil, garlic, citrus and chile on guacamole and corn tortillas; and the taquitos de barrigita ($15), pork belly tacos in corn tortillas with Chef Fernando Olea’s jalapeño salsa verde.

We chose the queso fundido ($14), a cast iron skillet bubbling with asadero cheese, mushrooms and strips of poblano peppers, with fresh corn tortillas and salsa as well as the Xochimilco ($16), three mini-tortillas topped with the savory corn truffle, native spices and queso fresco. We should have stopped there. At 5 pm, the dining room opens and the regular menu also becomes available in the bar. This, and the killer cocktail list, posed some problems for us. Needless to say, we each walked out of there feeling fat, happy and about $100 lighter.

Rounding out the trifecta of Santa Fe’s suggested finest, I popped into The Compound (653 Canyon Road, 982-4353).

Set just off one of the main dining areas, I joined a friend at one of the 12 seats surrounding the square sunken bar. The groovy ’60s vibe was strong in this bar, especially within my chair, which I assumed had been around that long, its cracked pleather snagging my skirt and scratching at my legs.

Though the regular menu is available at the bar, we chose to stick with the 10 options on the bar menu and ordered a juicy blood orange margarita ($14), wild mushroom and organic stone ground polenta ($15), and a side of crispy buttermilk onion rings ($9). The polenta was creamy, with a nice spice and richness from the topping of microgreens and black truffle relish. The thin-sliced onion rings retained their crispy batter but would have benefitted by a dipping sauce more exotic than ketchup. The people-watching, on the other hand, was fantastic.

So, you see, by bar-hopping you can try out some of Santa Fe’s best, while sticking to a budget. Who’s taking me to Geronimo for my birthday?

Captain Marvel Review Suck it, misogynists!

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

Well, it only took about a million years, but Marvel has finally unleashed a standalone film with a woman lead, and anyone left who wants to whine about the woman-ness of it all is clearly destined for the wrong side of history. Captain Marvel is fantastic.

We follow Vers (or Carol Danvers if you like; Brie Larson) as she is swept up in an interstellar war between the Kree and the Skrull, alien races locked in battle for who even knows how long.

Vers fights for the Kree, but it’s mostly about having shown up on their planet six years back with no memory than it is about being one of them. She’s powerful but, we’re told by her mentor Yon-Rogg (Jude Law), too emotional to harness her singular powers effectively. Yawn, Yonn. Yawn, bro.

Hijinks ensue and ass-kickery commences, but when a seemingly simple mission goes awry and thus strands Vers on Earth alongside a young Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson), alliances shift,

6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER

8 + LARSON KICKS ASS; FINALLY A SPOTLIGHT ON WOMEN HEROES - TOO MANY ’90S REFERENCES

the mystery unfolds and Vers spends a solid two hours being an absolute badass. Turns out emotions are part of that—who knew?

Everyone.

Anyway …

Larson is pitch-perfect as the burgeoning superhero, all sly smiles and wise-cracking jokes that humanize her otherwise otherworldly powers without muting her flair. We instantly love her and side firmly with her no matter how the tide turns. The best scenes involve Larson and Jackson’s chemistry, however. You can practically feel the fun they’re having together, and whatever tech Marvel is using to make Jackson look 20 (or more) years younger is flawless.

There are a few missteps, however, from being beaten within an inch of our lives with ’90s references (we get it, Marvel: Blockbuster and grunge

and No Doubt were things then) to the studio’s insistence on cramming as many fan-service-y Easter eggs into the fray as possible. Still, by the time Vers realizes what’s really going on, she embraces her human side and gets down to beating the shit out of anyone who’s asking for it, the only feeling left is that of being utterly psyched.

Let us only hope the entitled comic book brats check their misogyny at the door long enough to take Captain Marvel for what it is; namely, a triumphant expansion of the Marvel universe with one of the most memorable and exciting characters on its roster. More like this, please!

Aml Ameen stars in Idris Elba’s directorial debut, Yardie.

+ ELBA PROVES PROMISING; THE SOUNDTRACK

- AMEEN IS OK; STRANGE NARRATION

Idris Elba’s directorial debut is bursting with good ideas and an understanding that future films from the Luther star might be worthwhile.

But wooden performances and a run-of-themill gangster narrative hold Yardie, based on the 1992 Victor Headley novel, back from greatness.

In 1970-something Kingston, Jamaica, young D (for Dennis; Antwayne Eccleston as the young version) watches as his brother uses reggae to usher in a tenuous peace between two prominent street gangs after a young girl is killed in the crossfire of a daytime shootout.

All is well, briefly, but when Dennis’ brother is gunned down by another mysterious youth, he’s thrust into the world of violent gangland nonsense and drug-running himself, working for the notorious King Fox (Sheldon Shepherd).

Cut to 10 years later, and Dennis (Aml Ameen) is sent to London to deliver cocaine to British crimelord-lite Rico (Snatch‘s Stephen Graham), but a series of confusing double- or triple- or quadruple-crosses enmeshed with some really boneheaded maneuvers sends our hero spiraling out of control and running

10

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

from the only family he’s really known, while uncovering the truth behind his brother’s murder.

Elba proves capable in the director’s seat, though Yardie stumbles to find any original footing within the gangster genre.

D could have proven explosively interesting, but Ameen’s take on an overwhelmed and emotional kid in over his head feels irritatingly dimensionless. He has anger down pat, and there are moments where he reels us in, but he squanders any chance at nuance with shouting, leaving us without any particular emotional connection beyond his murdered brother and unsure of why we should be in his corner.

Yardie does provide a smattering of breathless action-y scenes, and the soundtrack backdrop of Britain’s much-ballyhooed 1980s reggae, rocksteady and ska uprising makes for some electric feelings. But the film can’t seem to decide if it wants to be a crime drama or character study, which winds up diluting its chances at either. We’re more interested to see if Elba continues to sharpen his already distinctive directorial style. He’s off to a good start, he just needs some better players.

PAINFUL FOR SOME

Content warning: This review contains disturbing information and language.

After making waves and shocking audiences at Sundance, filmmaker Dan Reed’s explosive two-part, four-hour documentary Leaving Neverland finds its way to HBO, where it finally digs deep into allegations that pop superstar Michael Jackson molested several young boys throughout his career. For some, the film will be a painful sojourn through in-depth interviews with survivors of Jackson’s abuse; for others it will affirm what they’ve believed since charges were first levied against Jackson in 1993.

Regardless of which camp you fall into, however, it’s certain that we can no longer ignore the testimony of those who’ve come forward, and it is no longer and option to defend Jackson in any way.

The bulk of the interviews come from Wade Robson and Jimmy Safechuck, each of whom speak at length about their complicated relationships with Jackson. Each met the man by different means, and through a combination of celebrity obsession, missteps from parents and Jackson’s well-planned psychological manipulation, they were molested for years while on tour with Jackson, at his Neverland Ranch home and at so-called “hideaway” apartments. The hardest pill to swallow may be interviews with the parents who insist that, at the time, they felt it perfectly normal that Jackson invited children into his room and bed or, in one case, that they left their child alone with him for an entire week while they visited the Grand Canyon. Robson and Safechuck’s accounts are damning and detailed—and incredibly similar in terms of how the abuse played out. We believe them.

This makes the first part of Neverland difficult to bear, as it is explicit. The second part isn’t much easier, however, and the personal toll it took on the young men—not to mention the survivor’s guilt they still harbor—becomes the real tragedy. As we know, both men refused to besmirch Jackson’s name for years, discrediting other survivors who were strong enough to come forward and deepening the aftermath’s affect on their lives and families.

Reed provides countless pieces of evidence in the form of photos, video, audio recordings and faxes sent from Jackson to Robson that start seemingly friendly, but devolve into obsessive and terrifying. We learn of houses bought and gifts obtained, of Jackson’s cold

and cruel ability to teach children as young as 7 that sexual acts are just how people show love, regardless of age. And it is every bit as riveting as it is nauseating. This might dredge up uncomfortable feelings about how we regard celebrities, but as Robson points out at one point, people feel like they knew Jackson; he was a part of our lives as far back as we can remember.

The resolution, as it were, is not satisfying.

Jackson of course dodged prison and died before he was ever brought to justice. Still, Neverland does force us to ask big questions: Can we still enjoy the music knowing he was a monster?

Why are we so quick to defend the famous on such charges?

We believe Robson and Safechuck, but we still aren’t quite sure how to feel about it all. Not good, though—that’s for sure. Regardless, any Jackson defenders need to reassess, and anyone with the fortitude to watch Leaving Neverland should certainly do so. (ADV) NR, HBO, 240 min.

BAUHAUS SPIRIT

+ FUN; WORTH KNOWING ABOUT - CONFUSING TRANSITIONS;

INACCESSIBLE ACADEMIC SPEAK

Hard to believe it’s been 100 years since Walter Gropius and a handful of others founded the Bauhaus movement, an aesthetic philosophy that saw no distinction between form and function, eschewing ornamentation. It certainly seems like those founders didn’t even know it would go on to inspire countless artists, dancers, architects and creatives around the world in the way it has. German filmmakers Niels Bolbrinker and Thomas Tielsch understand, though, and their new film Bauhaus Spirit teaches us everything we need to know, even if it veers into the unfocused now and then.

Those who aren’t intimately familiar with Bauhaus may be surprised to learn that it was a utopian physical school in Weimar, Germany, in addition to a then-radical new wave of artistic expression. Students (like Kandinsky, Schlemmer and Albers, just to name a few) and teachers affected nearly every aspect of creation to this day, even making their way into the building’s design itself—and it still stands, a monument to the so-called weirdos of the day who freaked out the townsfolk of Weimar while expanding their horizons and experimenting and who would end up influencing our culture and design incalculably for the rest of all time.

If Beale Street Could Talk has proven so wonderful, it returns to Santa Fe theaters. Boom. to live and work with the Bauhaus ethos and see its application in everything from a progressive Swedish school without classrooms, the way in which dance and math feed and influence each other and other such delights. At its heart, Bauhaus Spirit proves without question that fun was a core component of the goings-on, and we long to have played a part in its birth, existence and influence—or to even contribute now.

The film does, however, flail in terms of accessibility. This is not an intro to art doc for those looking to dabble or pick up the basics, nor will it probably spark curiosity for those unfamiliar with the lingering affects of Bauhaus. It can feel dense and, like the early days of the movement itself, you just kind of have to be onboard to reap its benefits.

Of course, we do, whether we’re aware of that or not; for those looking to learn more or reignite an already-there appreciation, Bauhaus Spirit is a wonderful celebration of the history from which it came and the product of all it wrought. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 95 min.

IF BEALE STREET COULD TALK

10

+ GORGEOUS ALL AROUND - ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

If Beale Street Could Talk is the most beautifully intimate film of 2018. Director Barry Jenkins’ follow-up to his award-winning film Moonlight holds up to that movie’s weight, adapting James Baldwin’s story of the same name that still powerfully resonates.

Set in Harlem in the early 1970s, we follow Tish and Fonny’s relationship; the childhood friends turned lovers have their lives flipped upside down when Fonny is incarcerated for a crime he didn’t commit. But with the help of family, Tish discovers her true strength after revealing she’s with child. We were lucky to have seen so many creative contributions to black cinema in 2018, but Beale Street is a remarkable cut amongst the rest.

This movie would’ve been nothing without flawless performances, and no, there is not one weak actor in the lot. At the forefront, Kiki Layne and Stephan James are revelations as Tish and Fonny. Every conversation they have is layered, bestowing an incredible level of affection or, at turns, frustration, anxiety and longing. They’re captivating. Regina King as Tish’s mother deserves every single award imaginable. She takes command during every scene, her power shining through the camera lens like the sun. Some familiar faces pop up along the way as well, like Diego Luna, Dave Franco and Game of Thrones

alums Pedro Pascal and Ed Skrein.

It’s hard to tell what Jenkins’ best quality is as a filmmaker, as both his eye and language approach perfection. Every moment is rich with emotion, lighting and depth, practically demanding you savor them. Every one of Jenkins’ collaborators gives their all, from the cinematographer, production designer and sound designer—a scene of anger poetically drowns background noise for weight, only to raise that volume subtlety once the moment passes—to composer Nicholas Britell. Britell, who scored Moonlight, brings yet another intensely moving score, dramatically raising the bar for every other composer in Hollywood.

Thus, Beale Street is rich with atmosphere, seamlessly including real-life photographs of racial strife in New York City in the ’70s. It simultaneously enriches the personal drama, and makes the viewer acknowledge that this singular story is part of a much bigger and more tragic narrative. Beale Street is a stark reflection of racial tension, but also a celebration of what makes family so important in everyday life. You are wholeheartedly dared to watch this film and leave with dry eyes. You won’t be able to pull it off. (Matthew K Gutierrez) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 119 min.

VICTORY was found in a Santa Fe neighborhood fending for himself.

He was rescued by a kind person and transferred to F&F to find his forever home.

VICTORY was very scared at first, but has now become very sweet and loving. He can still be a little timid, but he loves to play and would probably be fine in a home with another playful cat. VICTORY will take a week or two to settle in to a new home and needs a patient adopter willing to give him time to adjust.

He has a short orange tabby coat and white paws. AGE: born approx. 9/1/15.

ROCKY BOY is a handsome 9 year old guy that came to us after his pet parent passed away.

He is desperate for affection and misses having a person to call his own. He is very gentle, loving and sweet. We think he would be happy as an only cat or perhaps sharing a home with a gentle female of similar age. ROCKY BOY is a little overweight, so we have him on a healthy diet to help with gradual weight loss. He has short fur and is all black. AGE: born approx. 7/1/09.

Week of March 13th, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The coming weeks might be a good time to acquire a flamethrower. It would come in handy if you felt the urge to go to a beach and incinerate mementoes from an ex-ally. It would also be useful if you wanted to burn stuff that reminds you of who you used to be and don’t want to be any more; or if you got in the mood to set ablaze symbols of questionable ideas you used to believe in but can’t afford to believe in any more. If you don’t want to spend $1,600+ on a flamethrower, just close your eyes for ten minutes and visualize yourself performing acts of creative destruction like those I mentioned.

scious of the things you don’t see.” To fully endorse that statement, I’d need to add two adverbs. My version would be, “The role of the artist is exactly the same as the role of the lover. If I love you, I have to kindly and compassionately make you conscious of the things you don’t see.” In accordance with current astrological omens, I recommend that you Libras enthusiastically adopt that mission during the coming weeks. With tenderness and care, help those you care about to become aware of what they’ve been missing—and ask for the same from them toward you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Taurus aphorist Olivia Dresher writes that she would like to be “a force of nature,” but “not causing any suffering.” The way I interpret her longing is that she wants to be wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure—all the while without inflicting any hurt or damage on herself or anyone else. In accordance with your astrological omens, Taurus, that’s a state I encourage you to embody in the coming weeks. If you’re feeling extra smart—which I suspect you will—you could go even further. You may be able to heal yourself and others with your wild, elemental, uninhibited, primal, raw, pure energy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): For thousands of generations, our early ancestors were able to get some of the food they needed through a practice known as persistence hunting. They usually couldn’t run as fast as the animals they chased. But they had a distinct advantage: they could keep moving relentlessly until their prey grew exhausted. In part that’s because they had far less hair than the animals, and thus could cool off better. I propose that we adopt this theme as a metaphor for your life in the coming weeks and months.

You won’t need to be extra fast or super ferocious or impossibly clever to get what you want. All you have GEMINI (May 21-June 20): In some major cities, the but- to do is be persistent and dogged and disciplined. tons you push at a crosswalk don’t actually work to make SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Wompsi’kuk Skeesucks the traffic light turn green faster. The same is true about Brooke is a Native American woman of the Mohegan the “Close Door” buttons in many elevators. Pushing tribe. According to her description of Mohegan naming them doesn’t have any effect on the door. Harvard psytraditions, and reported by author Elisabeth Pearson chologist Ellen Langer says these buttons are like placeWaugaman, “Children receive names that are descripbos that give you “the illusion of control.” I bring this phetive. They may be given new names at adolescence, and nomenon to your attention, Gemini, in hope of inspiring again as they go through life according to what their life you to scout around for comparable things in your life. Is experiences and accomplishments are.” She concludes there any situation where you imagine you have power or that names “change as the individual changes.” If you influence, but probably don’t? If so, now is an excellent have been thinking about transforming the way you time to find out—and remedy that problem. express and present yourself, you might want to consider CANCER (June 21-July 22): Philip Boit was born and such a shift. 2019 will be a favorable time to at least add raised in Kenya, where it never snows except on the very a new nickname or title. And I suspect you’ll have maxitop of Mount Kenya. Yet he represented his country in mum inspiration to do so in the coming weeks. the cross-country skiing events at the Winter Olympics CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):For many of us, smell is in 2002 and 2006. How did he do it? He trained up our most neglected sense. We see, hear, taste, and feel north in snowy Finland. Meanwhile, Kwame Nkrumahwith vividness and eagerness, but allow our olfactory Acheampong competed for Ghana in the slalom in the powers to go underused.

These two are your role models for the coming months, in the coming weeks. There is subtle information you can obtain—and in my opinion, need quite strongly— Cancerian. According to my analysis of the astrological that will come your way only with the help of your omens, you’ll have the potential to achieve success in tasks and activities that may not seem like a natural fit. nose. Trust the guidance provided by scent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the process of casting for his movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, director David Fincher considered selecting A-list actress Scarlet Johansson to play the heroine. But ultimately he decided she was too sexy and radiant. He wanted a pale, thin, tougher-looking actress, whom he found in Rooney Mara. I suspect that in a somewhat similar way, you may be perceived as being too much something for a role you would actually perform quite well. But in my astrological opinion, you’re not at all too much. In fact, you’re just right. Is there anything you can do—with full integrity—to adjust how people see you and understand you without diluting your brightness and strength?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): In 1993, an English gardener named Eric Lawes used his metal detector to look for a hammer that his farmer friend had lost in a field. Instead of the hammer, he found the unexpected: a buried box containing 15,234 old Roman silver and gold worth more than four million dollars today. I bring this to your attention, Virgo, because I suspect that you, too, will soon discover something different from what you’re searching for. Like the treasure Lawes located, it might even be more valuable than what you thought you wanted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Essayist Nassim Nicholas Taleb says humans come in three types: fragile, robust, or antifragile. Those who are fragile work hard to shield themselves from life’s messiness. The downside? They are deprived of experiences that might spur them to grow smarter. As for robust people, Taleb believes they are firm in the face of messiness. They remain who they are even when they’re disrupted. The potential problem? They may be too strong to surrender to necessary transformations.

If you’re the third type, antifragile, you engage with the messiness and use it as motivation to become more creative and resilient. The downside? None. In accordance with the astrological omens, Aquarius, I urge you to adopt the antifragile approach in the coming weeks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 2014, NASA managed to place its MAVEN spacecraft into orbit around Mars.

The cost of the mission was $671 million. Soon thereafter, the Indian government put its own vehicle, the Mangalyaan, into orbit around the Red Planet. It spent $74 million. As you plan your own big project, Pisces, I recommend you emulate the Mangalyaan rather than the MAVEN. I suspect you can do great things— maybe even your personal equivalent of sending a spacecraft to Mars—on a relatively modest budget.
