WEDNESDAY 11 APRIL AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Anyone who truly cares about children must be repelled by the insistence on ranking them, rating them, and labeling them. Whatever the tests measure is not the sum and substance of any child. The tests do not measure character, spirit, heart, soul, potential. When overused and misused, when attached to high stakes, the tests stifle the very creativity and ingenuity that our society needs most. Creativity and ingenuity stubbornly resist standardization. Tests should be used sparingly to help students and teachers, not to allocate rewards and punishments and not to label children and adults by their scores. — from Reign of Error: The Hoax of the Privatization Movement and the Danger to America’s Public Schools © 2013

WEDNESDAY 18 APRIL AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Rachel Kushner’s first novel, Telex from Cuba, is set in Oriente, Cuba, in an expat community funded by the United Fruit Company and a nickel mine, during the years leading up to Castro’s revolution. Of the book, the New York Times wrote, “Out of tropical rot, Kushner has fashioned a story that will linger like a whiff of decadent Colony perfume.” Her second novel, The Flamethrowers, is set mostly in the mid-1970s and follows the life of Reno, so named for her place of birth, a young artist who comes to New York intent on marrying her love of motorcycles, speed, and art. The title takes its name from weapons used by the Italian Arditi, a division of elite shock troops that operated during the First World War. Kushner has twice been a finalist for the National Book Award and is a Guggenheim Fellow. Her fiction and essays appear regularly in the New York Times, the Paris Review, The Believer, Artforum, Bookforum, Fence, Bomb, and Grand Street. Michael Silverblatt is the host of KCRW’s Bookworm, a nationally syndicated radio program showcasing writers of fiction and poetry.

There Goes the Neighborhood How out-of-town owners and short-term rentals are changing local life 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
J
ennifer Johnson moved into her Ft. Marcy Heights neighborhood off Bishops Lodge and Hyde Park roads in 2000. She no longer sees as many familiar faces. “The number of neighbors who are there full-time has reduced dramatically,” she tells SFR. “Let’s see … one, two, three, four homes that were Santa Feans before have been converted into condos,” each of which has at least three units. For safety and presumably to welcome guests, the short-term rental across the street has its front porch light on all night. But it’s starting to feel kind of lonely to Johnson. “I don’t have any neighbors there. And then even more [houses in the neighborhood] turned into second or third homes,” she says. So on March 14, Johnson spoke in public about Santa Fe’s housing situation and the impact of second homes and short-term rentals. “It’s not helping the day-to-day New Mexicans that need a place to live,” she told the City Council. “In my immediate neighborhood, there’s nobody there to fight for our neighborhood.” An SFR check of ownership records shows that of the 10 properties on the two split lots closest to Johnson, only one can be definitively traced to a Santa Fe owner. A South Carolina owner has the vacation rental outside Johnson’s front door. Other owners are in Arizona, Massachusetts, Texas, Virginia and Washington, DC. Of the 973 short-term rental permits issued by the city so far this year, 436 were issued to out-of-state owners. That’s 45 percent. The vast majority are clustered in and around Santa Fe’s downtown. A 2016 change to city law brought illegal short-term rentals into compliance
and created a tax base for the city that will pull in well more than $1 million this fiscal year. It also nearly tripled the allowable number of vacation rentals. At the city’s Land Use Department, planner Noah Berke says it might be tempting to blame the lack of long-term housing downtown for Santa Feans on these revolving doors, but he doesn’t see the math as being that straightforward. “It’s hard to pinpoint what shortterm rentals are doing to the market for long-term rentals,” Berke says. Not every short-term rental would be available for locals if it weren’t on the market for tourists. Some would sit vacant until owners were able to use them. “There are certainly a number of second homes that aren’t being used for either short-term or long-
A 2016 change to city rules opened the door for more vacation rentals in Santa Fe neighborhoods.

term rentals. … They just sit there.” City Councilor Renee Villarreal represents District 1, which includes most of downtown and the city’s north side. She feels as though out-of-state, or at least out-of-town ownership has been a problem for three decades or more, guessing that living patterns started to change in the 1980s. That was when the city should have stepped in more aggressively. “I think it’s been a problem for quite a while and we didn’t nip it in the bud when it became a thing,” she tells SFR. As shortterm renting became easier for owners to advertise through websites like VRBO and Airbnb, the city’s status as a vacation hot spot “absolutely” created a market for
the quick turnover and potentially higher profit of short-term guests versus longterm tenants. Both Berke and Villarreal point out that short-term rentals have in some cases been an economic life raft for families that were being squeezed by rising taxes, the cost of maintaining older, often historic homes and the pressure to sell their houses. “Renting out part of their property has provided a second income in a town that doesn’t always have a lot of economic diversity,” Villarreal says. Trying to drag a net for short-term rental sharks without giving it some serious thought is bound to unintentionally catch some of those families, and to lead to the “displace-
ment of people who make the community what it is.” “I think if we had a solution we would have already done it,” Villarreal offers. Still, she doesn’t think the housing situation is beyond saving, and is in search of an integrated way to address the crisis. City leaders often cite the figure that Santa Fe is about 2,500 units short when it comes to affordable housing. Villarreal agrees with city staff who have said in the past that while downtown rentals for long-term tenants often don’t qualify as affordable housing, they still impact the housing situation for the city as a whole. As the people who would have lived in and around downtown are pushed into other parts of Santa Fe, their demand has the net effect of raising everyone’s rents and crowding rental stock—which has an already paltry vacancy rate of around 4 percent. Plus, the councilor points out, shortterm tenants most often don’t enter into the social fabric of Santa Fe neighborhoods. Johnson agrees. “I think it’s vital that we keep the integrity of our neighborhoods together,” she told the council, “because we’re the ones who vote, we’re the ones here who are putting in the time to try to make the city better.”

COURTESY OF GENO ZEMORA
Temporary Counsel
Former Santa Fe city attorney is proposed to return while new mayor hires next top lawyer
Geno Zamora says he’ll keep up with his private practice and won’t apply for the job.
BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
A
former Santa Fe city attorney is poised to return to City Hall, at least for a little while. As Mayor Alan Webber settles into the job, he says the plan for an interim city attorney allows time to find a permanent one. He’s proposed bringing back Geno Zamora to do the job on contract through June 15, or when the new permanent appointee comes on board, whichever comes first. The contract is on the agenda for City Council approval at next week’s meeting. Zamora served as city attorney during the second mayoral administration of David Coss, from 2010 to 2013, and has been in private practice with law partner
Tony Ortiz since he left City Hall. He tells SFR he won’t apply for the permanent job again, and that his part-time work for the city is intended to assure continuity. Current City Attorney Kelley Brennan signed a contract extension for a month after Webber’s inauguration earlier this month, but her retirement date is April 11. “I’m grateful to Mayor Webber and pleased to have an opportunity to help keep the trains running and work with the city attorney office’s staff on an interim basis,” Zamora says. “It will allow me to return full time to my private practice.” In their practice, Zamora says, he and Ortiz represent 26 school districts in the state, and the proposed contract stipulates that he’ll avoid conflicts with his other clients. Zamora comes with a breadth of government experience. At 33, he was
chief legal counsel to then-Gov. Bill Richardson. Among the highlights from Zamora’s time at City Hall was his advocacy with Coss for marriage equality. Though a citypassed resolution had no binding effect, it was part of an effort from several fronts that led to the state Supreme Court affirming the law about nine months later. “I still feel so much emotion about the good work we did as a city to recognize the human rights of our neighbors, our brothers and sisters in the community,” Zamora says. “The work Mayor Coss led was a tipping point in New Mexico’s debate over marriage equality … but I don’t want to take credit for it all; there were so many people at a statewide level that worked on this.” On the flip side, Zamora was at the legal helm when the city made its ill-fated plans to use a portion of the 2008 parks bond to pay maintenance workers. He now says that’s become the lowlight of his tenure, yet it taught him a valuable lesson. “It’s one I have applied to all my government clients since: If you have a bond question, you bring the bond counsel into the meeting so there is nothing lost in translation,” he says. Webber is the first elected mayor to serve in the “strong mayor” role in Santa Fe, with city charter changes granting him greater autonomy to propose the city budget and shuffle top positions without a City Council vote. Former City Attorney Frank Katz says it means the next attorney has a new landscape in which to operate. “There was a difficulty when I was working there in that you had eight councilors, the city manager and the mayor, and so you had 10 bosses,” he says. “Now I think it should be easier. It is pretty clear the mayor is the boss, and I think that will work well.” Then again, Katz says the city attorney really always had one boss: the city itself. “It’s also the city attorney’s job when the mayor or a group of councilors want
NEWS
to go in some direction, to explore the legalities of that and to advise about the potholes that they may run into—or the buzzsaws, as the case may be—and then try to avoid those,” he says. Once the city leaders make a decision, he argues, it’s on the city attorney’s shoulders to defend it. That’s part of why the city challenged its own ranked-choice voting rules in District Court this winter—a rare instance in which a current city attorney (Brennan) reversed on the legal stance of a previous city attorney (Katz). The next city attorney is likely to need expertise in the state’s complicated water law, building development and economic stimulus, to name a few areas, says Katz, but the best advice he can offer is simple: “Always research the law and make sure you are right.” Webber is likely to receive a combination of applications from inside and outside city hall, but city spokesman Matt Ross says the hiring process is not formalized yet. Last week, the mayor asked 73 exempt employees, including six assistant city attorneys, to reapply for their jobs as part of a “talent review.” The job is listed on the Human Resources Department’s section of the city website, but Ross tells SFR that so far, no one has submitted a resume for the job. Webber is still deciding for which positions he will recommend a wider search process. The contract with Zamora, for 50 hours per month and worth up to $22,500, stipulates that he’ll attend council and committee meetings, including to present the mayor’s budget proposals. Brennan earns $58.18 per hour in her full-time position, which also includes benefits. Zamora would be paid $165 per hour for fewer hours. Councilors are set to consider the deal at Wednesday’s City Council meeting, beginning at 5 pm at the Santa Fe Public Library’s Southside Branch (6599 Jaguar Drive, 955-2820).

POETRY SEARCH
JUDGED BY Alix Hudson
T
he woman who judged this year’s poetry contest shouldn’t have any spare time. She’s one of those people who can simultaneously make you feel like you can and will change the world and that you are not working hard enough. When Alix Hudson is done with her day job in a Spanish-language classroom, where she teaches 3-year-olds with disabilities in her seventh year with Santa Fe Public Schools, she’s likely to be on her way to rehearsal for a theater production she’s either acting in or directing. (Our theater critic says Atravesada, a collection of performed spoken-word poetry of the borderlands she led earlier this year at at Teatro Paraguas, was a bilingual masterpiece for the books.) Additionally, the Indiana native is writing plays, getting a masters degree, volunteering on a board of a directors and sits on and the school district’s Diversity and Equity Committee. When she says “Nina Otero,” as in the name of the elementary school in town, she pronounces the last name with a roll of the r and short vowel sounds. She cares about using the right reflexive form of a verb in her second adopted language. She worries about things like food waste, ICE raids and whether it’s truly warm enough to wear strappy wedges to our lunch over spring break at the Cowgirl. And as she pored over each of the dozens of poems submitted by SFR readers for our Spring Poetry Search, she made lists of the images and concepts that struck her. What she wrote almost reads like a few stanzas: First: yak butter, oily tomatoes, venison and the moon, gossiping birds, dead beetle fingers, breastfeeding philosophy. Then: Love requires ease; precision leads to bonding; the allusions of fonts; being both the stick and the one that is beaten; how heaven works. Hudson loves poems that use natural aesthetics to relate to the human condition; work of the three women she chose at this year’s winners fit that style. “For me, poems have to be image or forget it,” she explains. “And extra points if it’s the image of nature related to the image of self. So these are all about bodies relating to the earth and the family. It’s these body politics related to how we navigate through the world.” Not a winner? Wondering why? Hudson tells SFR she made notes about every single poem and would be glad to provide individual feedback. We’ll help you get in touch; write editor@sfreporter.com.

As My Father Has His Heart Attack BY MEG SPECKSGOOR
As my father has his heart attack, he is fastened in his security uniform, walkie holstered, emails open, getting ready to go to breakfast, mind already brimming with black coffee, mouth anticipating scrambled eggs on rye. He is a simple man with small morning happinesses. This I have inherited. As my father has his heart attack, I am sleeping an hour away. Soundly. Dreams flowing like blood through uncompromised arteries. No stirring of intuition, eyelid twitch, startle wake, or nag of the feet to be planted on the floor. My father just got over bronchitis. Got it working a 16 hour shift at 72 years old. We all forget his age. Like cholesterol, it always seems like just another number.
Please. My children are a broken circuit, a leaking heart, have been bleeding internally for a year and I’m a stent they can’t afford to have removed. My father likes a good bargain. This I have inherited. The news has been calling for hurricane force winds all day: downed power lines, felled trees, blockage, crashed cars like blood clots on the highway, but late that night I stand in the driveway of the house I grew up in. There is no wind. I’d be inclined to say dead still, if the words didn’t seem so heavy. It should be eerie, like the time between the tingling of your left hand and the pressure crushing your chest, or the instant the monitor beeps flatten out, but it’s peaceful, comforting in some way I can’t articulate.
My father likes a good bargain. On Veteran’s Day he dons his army cap, Bamberg Germany, 1963, does all the grocery shopping he’s saved for the discount, eats free waffles at IHop, a free cheeseburger at Bill Grays, then drives to a different Bill Grays to get another. As my father has his heart attack, he complains that the ambulance doesn’t take him to Rochester General instead of Strong because we would have had free parking and meal tickets. As my father has his heart attack, it stops beating twice. When we walk into the room, he is sitting upright, asking if anyone texted him and looking like he faked a stomach bug to get out of class. The only telltale sign is the shock pad burns on his chest, like the burns on my leg when I was nine, riding his motorcycle for the first time. My father has unfinished business here. Doesn’t want to die before perfecting his hot sauce recipe, seeing the Alamo, or piecing his family back together. He requests a Bible but doesn’t read it. He wants religion nearby like an on-call nurse. I wonder if he tried to bargain his blood back into movement with a please, God.
At the hospital my brother, sister and I eat salads and fruit cups in front of my father and sneak to the cafeteria later for pizza and milkshakes. There is a moment that feels like the quieting of an immense wind. Like nothing has been pushing or pulling us for the past year, tearing at each other’s faces, making it difficult to breathe, to take steps, to move forward. In this moment everything else seems so much farther, so much smaller: the intervention, the court appearances, the 3 am dread and 4 am one hour of sleep,
(After Jeremy Radin)
1st
the phone calls and lack of phone calls, the night we couldn’t wake my sister up, all the ominous words that stick to the inside of our aeortas or ball up just behind our hearts. Forced reconciliation can be sudden, like cardiac arrest, or the way you realize your parents’ mortality all at once, even though you noticed the naps and undyed hairs, the Sensodyne toothpaste, the loafers and wool derby caps long ago. My brother had emergency open-heart surgery five years ago. Awoke in the middle of an October night with bones shattered, a shoulder dislocation so severe the doctors said it could only have happened by electrocution, blunt force trauma, or a grand mal seizure. A nurse caught a glimpse of his heart in one of the x-rays. He had a faulty valve and an aneurism dilated 5cm. Would have been dead by Christmas. This isn’t the kind of poem with a gut-wrenching hindsight. This isn’t a poem of if-onlys or almosts. This isn’t the kind of poem That draws big conclusions because 3 out of 5 of us are inexplicably still alive. This is just the kind of poem that says my family lives on second chances like organ transplants. We’ve found mercy tucked in hospital-cornered sheets. Gales have tumbled our communication lines, hacked at our family tree, obstructed our roads home or away, but, here, six floors below the cardiac wing and not six feet under the flapping of wings, making jokes over pepperoni slices and cookies and cream, for a moment the wind is so still, I can hear the breaths that aren’t our last. I can hear nostalgia. I can hear their heartbeats. I can hear the ways in which we made it.

A Metaphor for Marriage BY A N TO I N E T T E V I L L A M I L
On days when I return to the idea of you, I see my younger self shining, glossy-maned and sparkling-eyed, standing in front of the former casita in which I’d lived: stuccoed with diamond plaster, hard sienna floors warm to the touch, the scent of lavender so strong it reeked, and my dog, now dead and buried there, merely peppered with grey, resting at the door. I see the green mountain hidden behind the sixty-year-old apricot, magnificent with leaves and still, the owner promised, bearing fruit. I should have taken a closer look—hardened sap oozed between the bark, a sticky amber, and each spring, as I waited for pink buds to emerge, black limbs grasped skyward in vain. Yet still, I searched for fruit each July. Just one? And year after year, disappointed with what was offered, with the lack not only of harvest, but of just a momentary taste of something so sublime.

August Harvest BY ROBYN HUNT
My pear-shaped core bore a string of polyps. Cancerous. Ghostlike. Small color-drained leaves clinging to night’s sunset lining. The first surgical draw took a layer of dry desert. Half inch incisions on my belly, a convex bread plate, swollen with carbon dioxide. Ovaries like tiny hornos, cracked and crumbling. Piñon nuts swallowed in a single hungry mouthful. Fallopian tubes harvested like cacti sliced and fed to dairy cows to sweeten their milk. My own worn heart, honeyed watermelon mixed with salt. This anesthetized body, cut and stewed as whole stands of cactus observe from their sleepy perimeter. Mammillary fans drinking in afternoon light, threatening a torrent of rainwater,
3rd residual remorse, coursing down the arroyo’s blind curve ahead. Incisions and memories hidden with translucent glue. In recovery, I consider the field of green and pointed spikes. Hunter’s green. Agave green. Inebriant of all that has poured through. Finally, I sleep the surprise of sticky after-taste. Prickly pear’s radish red fruit rolled into sweet jam and hard candies. I remember estrogen-spurred milk moving into my breasts. My organs lean into the hollow that once held my daughter.
Robyn Hunt once ran printing presses and owned a small bookstore. Today she lives with her husband in her native New Mexico where she continues to write poetry while also working as development and communications director for Las Cumbres Community Services. Her debut collection of poems, The Shape of Caught Water, is available through Red Mountain Press and on her blog, mourningdovespersist.blogspot.com. Want more?

The new mayor chats about the city’s technological future
BY JULIA GOLDBERG @votergirl
A
lan Webber was sworn in as Santa Fe’s new mayor on March 12, so I figured a week or so later was a reasonable time to drill down (bad underground-cable-pun intended) on his thoughts as they relate to the city’s relationship with technology. “Santa Fe is lagging behind in adapting to 21st-century technology,” Webber says. “I don’t think anybody denies that. We’ve been very slow to recognize how transformative every part of technology is. What’s the old cliché?—The web changes everything. We have this unbelievably powerful technology that changes how people live, work, raise their children, communicate—and we are unfortunately, I think, not up to speed, literally and metaphorically.” Webber and I discussed the prospect of bringing Santa Fe “up to speed” in a va-
GROUND GAME (OR NOT) Eight years ago or so, US cities vied to lure Google Fiber—high-speed Internet and television service—to choose them for the opportunity for new infrastructure. Webber says he thinks now perhaps Santa Fe “dodged a bullet,” because the nature of future infrastructure seems likely to be in the airwaves, not underground. “When I was doing Fast Company [the technology/business magazine Webber founded], there was a raging debate about which technology would win: Would it be the desktop, would it be the phone, would it be the TV set? … The votes are in and smartphones won and, in some ways, that’s going to make it easier for Santa Fe to plan a strategy.” Using above-ground technology to create connective speeds could be particularly important in Santa Fe, Webber notes, given the challenges the city faces when it comes to underground infrastructure. He says he recently met with the governor of Tesuque Pueblo, who reminded him “anytime we dig in Santa Fe, we’re touching sacred ground, and it’s worth putting a little mental footnote—a lot of cities, they dig and repave. But we have a different historical, cultural and moral obligation to be mindful of what makes Santa Fe different.” CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? Irritated customers may recall back in December, former Mayor Javier Gonzales declared a state of emergency due to problems with Verizon cell service. “If

six months while Verizon works on a permanent solution through the city’s regular land-use approval process. Clear-cut solutions aren’t obvious, Webber says, comparing web infrastructure to roads. “In automobile terms, any time you widen a road, you induce more traffic. We haven’t figured out how to deal with that with cars. I think it’s a similar situation with wi-fi and traffic on the smartphone: The more you enable, the more people do it.”

riety of contexts and at some length, but here’s a snapshot.
you’re at home and you don’t have a landline and you can’t use your cell phone, we’re essentially telling people, ‘You’re on your own,’” Webber says. Verizon in turn put up temporary antennae to address the lack of service. Earlier in the week at a senior staff meeting, the mayor got an update on the issue. “I think people will say in general the quality of service is improved, and more are supposed to go up,” he added. “Demand increases as supply increases,” Webber says. “So very quickly people have discovered the service is faster and more reliable, so people say, ‘I better use it for more data or more video, so it becomes an ongoing effort.” With summer coming, he adds, there will be more tourists “walking around town looking at their phones as they try to find what they’re looking for, so there will be even more people eating bandwidth.” In January, city spokesman Matt Ross said the temporary sites would be up for
APPS FOR THAT A main focus Webber emphasized will be creating a more “user-friendly” city. “We’re looking at ways we can use apps to give more power to people who live here and want to get around more easily,” he says, “or discover what’s going on more quickly or simply cut through red tape.” This could mean apps for city parks, parking, business licenses and the like. Webber referenced “the smart city movement,” in which cities use hackathons and other initiatives to “give better user experiences and give people more opportunities to be in charge of their own personal choices, from the city’s point of view.” He did not disagree with me that the city’s website could use some help (although I didn’t say it that politely). FREE FOR ALL Hard to say. “I just don’t know if it’s doable,” Webber says, “but it’s a great idea.” Improving access for average users—not just providing high-speeds for data-driven industries and Santa Fe’s growing start-up culture—is certainly a priority. “There are students sitting outside the Southside library on the weekend because that’s the only web access they have in order to do their schoolwork,” he says, “We’ve got to make it possible for people to have access to what is essentially a key public utility: information and access to the web.” Stay tuned.
Mayor Alan Webber uses the whiteboard to discuss his way of thinking about the city’s priorities.

ART OPENING FRI/30 NEW YORK, NEW YORK Though early 20th-century artists from New York who eschewed representational works were often deemed radicals, we can now look back on their vibrant, modernist creations with respect for their outside-the-box output. Perhaps the art lovers of the day simply couldn’t appreciate something abstract when they saw it, or perhaps it says something about artists who were so ahead of their time they forever changed the game. Either way, there are fine paintings from the era on display at LewAllen Galleries this week, and anyone with an appreciation for bold colors, strong yet strange geometry and/or the abstract oughta pop by to see what all the fuss is about.

MUSIC SAT/31 HAWK, YES Albuquerque musicians Heather Trost and Jeremy Barnes have always blown minds with their project A Hawk and a Hacksaw but, on their upcoming new album Forest Bathing, the pair takes it to a new level. The material was inspired by sojourns to Bulgaria, Albania, Turkey, Greece and elsewhere, and though it follows a semi-familiar Balkan sound, there’s a variety at play (and an exciting roster of international guest players) that makes it feel all the more authentic and focused. What better place to debut such gorgeous music than the San Miguel Mission, an acoustically brilliant venue known for hosting the best of the best?

Changes Local bands donate sets to benefit awesome Indigenous women’s org Mathy indie/emo project Future Scars has gone through a pretty drastic personnel change over the last year with local musicians Paul Wagner, Dylan Blanchard and Marcus DiFilippo joining the fray. But, according to frontwoman Eliza Lutz, the change has provided ample opportunity to reevaluate the band’s songs and sounds. “I’ve been writing this [new] record for the last two years, the follow-up to our EP, and even though the songs have been thoroughly worked on at this point, they have a whole new life,” Lutz explains. “It’s the lineup these songs needed.” Lutz says the newer material is like her “emo record,” and that the new dudes give the songs “life.” Fitting, then, that this particular lineup’s debut would be at a benefit show for the Changing Woman Initiative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the renewal and implementation of Indigenous and holistic birthing practices—quite literally new life. More specifically, proceeds from the show will go to the organization’s new birthing center, a facility proposed for space on Pojoaque tribal land. “It would be the first of its kind in the US, a Native American birthing center,” says Kansas Begaye, program manager for Changing Woman Initiative. “We’ll also be a teaching facility, we’re working on a volunteer program—it’s going to be really groundbreaking.” Begaye further explains the proposed facility will be a safe space for women of all ages, hopes to pro-
vide education and resources such as birth control and will not be limited to people of Indigenous descent. “[Indigenous people] have been birthing babies from home for many, many years,” Begaye continues, “and there are a lot of practices within the tribes that we’re trying to be mindful of—let’s say somebody is from Santa Clara; we’d be structuring her birthing experience around her beliefs and cultures.” Given the borderline barbaric birthing methodology used by most modern-day hospitals, such a facility could be a godsend for those in search of a gentler touch. Besides, how excellent is it when punk rock and a good cause come together? Rounding out the show are local nerdrock act Treemotel, Albuquerque-based glam metal weirdos Chicharra, pop punk from Weedrat and, reportedly, other surprises. The cover works on a sliding scale, meaning no one will be turned away, and Begaye promises cool merch from Changing Woman Initiative including T-shirts, water bottles and more.

Janet Monafo turns the idea of a still-life pastel on its ear, impeccably immortalizing seemingly random collections of objects reminiscent of estate sales, questioning the concepts of order and disorder. And we like it. Gatherings opens at Lewallen Galleries on Friday.
A&C a little ticket booth and concession stand are visible off to the right, the scene feels overwhelmingly tenuous. The blazing neon sign in “Grandview Motel, Raton, New Mexico, 1980” advertises lodging that’s out of frame. Vertical letters spell MOTEL in bright red, with Grandview appearing nearby in peppy turquoise cursive. The sign blares TV IN ROOMS and WINTER RATES. Somewhat hilariously, a zippy, bulb-rimmed arrow reads QUIET. Many of Fitch’s photos, though, are strikingly sparse. In the windswept “Highway 66, Chambliss, California, 1986,” a strip of fresh-looking yellow-striped asphalt appears before a long-defunct gas station. It doesn’t feel deserted; it feels dystopian. In “Radio Tower Between Trujillo and Las Vegas, New Mexico, September 9, 2006,” the narrow, needle-like body of a radio tower shoots upward like a rocket. It seems to strain against supportive cables that anchor it to the ground, with red lights lining its form. The surroundings are rural, abjectly beautiful—ombre, melted-looking sky and placidly smooth farmland. The urge to get in a car and drive can’t possibly be strictly American, yet it feels uniquely part of our collective character. When I look at these photos I remember things I thought I didn’t care about, like sunflower seeds at a gas station marked by a ginormous green dinosaur. I feel my foot on the pedal, I can practically hear a fuzzy car radio and my fingers on its dial, casting about unsuccessfully for something other than old country-Western numbers sung by a lonesome tenor, beseeching me to join him, to watch my “broken dreams dance in and out of the beams of a neon moon.”
Steve Fitch captures Americana like no other.

“
hen the sun goes down on my side of town,” sings Ronnie Dunn in 1991’s Neon Moon, “that lonesome feeling comes to my door, the whole world turns blue.” In his characteristically reedy, plaintive voice, he describes a smoke-filled honkytonk, where he spends almost every night “beneath the light of this neon moon.” There must be hundreds of similar songs, each set in an anonymous juke joint off the highway somewhere. Inside is a stuffed deer, a surly bartender and a dusty dance floor. Whatever it is that’s so romantic about being lonesome in a neon-lit bar probably isn’t complicated: the bleak satisfaction of licking one’s wounds; the question, both sharpened and dulled by whiskey, of who might walk through the door. A honky-tonk’s ineffable appeal, what leads us like moths to hot pink flames, is somehow similar to the appeal of the open road—and in particular, the enduring ex-
A decades-spanning show of images by photographer Steve Fitch coincides with the release of his eighth book
pansiveness of the American West. As Don DeLillo once wrote, “Let’s just say the desert is an impulse.” Photographer Steve Fitch certainly seems to think so. Since the 1970s, Fitch has trained his lens on overlooked or seemingly unspectacular landmarks along United States highways, which he manages to make singularly appealing; even seductive. In his latest exhibit at photo-eye Gallery, Vanishing Vernacular—also the title of his eighth publication, which released concurrently—Fitch doubles down on his longstanding visual thesis: Whether replaced with chain restaurants, torn down or simply left to ruin, the landmarks or “vernacular” of America’s highways are changing. Long road trips transform passengers into peculiarly captive audiences. In hurtling through vast swaths of are-we-thereyet nothingness, even the most routine features of a landscape can become mysterious. “We’re excited for the show,” photo-eye’s Lucas Shaffer says. “It’s serving as a kind of retrospective for Steve, since
we’ll have more than 40 pieces installed, covering 35 years of work.” After picking up a degree in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, in the early 1970s, and later, an MFA in photography from UNM, Fitch began taking road trips across the West, shooting pictures along the way. He has described himself as a “visual folklorist who uses photography to collect material.” Fitch obviously remains doggedly fascinated with quotidian aspects of American landscapes—ratty hotels and decrepit signs, for instance—indicators of places that are evolving and in flux, or, in some cases, poignantly obsolete. “Star Vu, Longmont, Colorado, 1980” is a twilight shot of a drive-in movie theater. Fitch took the image nearly 40 years ago, but already the novelty of outdoor film screenings must have been wearing off. The marquee, which advertises the movies Airplane! and Starting Over, is in visible disrepair, with peeling paint and spotty lighting. A few neon letters spelling the theater’s name are burned out, and though

I’m in D/s relationship. I’m not submissive around the clock, but my partner owns my cock. We’ve purchased several male chastity devices, but I can pretty easily get my cock out of them. My partner did some investigating and learned that the only effective devices work with a Prince Albert piercing—a ring through the head of the penis that locks into the device, preventing the sub from pulling his cock out. My partner now wants me to get a PA. I don’t want to get my cock pierced and I’ve said so, but I haven’t safe-worded on it. I would very reluctantly do it to please her. My partner made an appointment for a piercing three months from now, on our second anniversary. She told me that we can cancel it if I can find an effective chastity device that doesn’t require a piercing. Do you or any of your contacts in the fetish world know of any devices that are inescapable? -Piercing Appendage Unnecessarily Scares Eager Sub “I’ve never come across a standard male chastity device I couldn’t pull out of,” said Ruffled Sheets, “so PAUSES’s partner has obviously researched regular chastity devices well.” Sheets is an IT consultant who lives in the United Kingdom with his partner of 15 years. Male chastity devices have fascinated him for more than two decades and, as of this writing, he owns 37 different kinds of cock cages. His partner frequently keeps his cock locked up for weeks or months at a time—and if there were such a thing as a commercially available male chastity device that was inescapable, Sheets would know about it. “However, all is not lost,” said Sheets. “Piercing is one of two ways to ensure the penis cannot escape. The other is a full chastity belt. Now, full belts aren’t without their drawbacks—they are generally more expensive, are harder to conceal under clothes, and take longer to get used to, especially at night. But they are secure. I have three custom-fitted chastity belts and, once properly fitted, they’re inescapable.” Sheets’ chastity belts were made for him by Behind Barz (behindbarz.co.uk) and Fancy Steel (fancysteel. com.au). But if most commercially available male chastity devices aren’t inescapable, what’s the point? Why would a person bother to wear one? “You can only partially escape,” said Sheets. “It’s possible to pull out the penis but not remove the device,” which is anchored around the balls and base of the shaft. “And a partially removed device is awkward and uncomfortable.” For many male subs and their Doms, the symbolism of a male chastity device is what matters most, not its inescapability. And as with other forms of sex play and most aspects of healthy relationships, the honor system makes it work. “As in any negotiated relationship, you can cheat,” said Sheets. “But why cheat? They’re easy to keep on if you’re genuinely interested in submitting.” Fun fact: Locking a guy’s cock in an inescapable device doesn’t prevent him from coming. “A device can be locked in place with a belt or a piercing, but orgasms are still possible,” said Sheets. “I’ve yet to discover any kind of device that can prevent the wearer from achieving orgasm if he’s holding a powerful wand massager against it, especially after weeks without coming.” So if your Dominant is locking up your cock to prevent you from coming, PAUSES, she’ll also need to lock up her vibrators. There are two other things Sheets wanted you to be aware of as you begin to explore male chastity, PAUSES. “Lots of men are shy about being submissive,” said Sheets, “so they’ll say things like ‘I’m normally dominant in real life,’ kind of like

PAUSES opened his letter by saying he isn’t submissive ‘around the clock.’ I just wanted to make sure he understood that chastity is a longterm game. For most of us in chastity devices, it’s a 24/7 affair—literally around the clock.” If you said you weren’t submissive around the clock because you didn’t want to admit that you are, in fact, submissive around the clock, PAUSES, chastity play won’t be a problem. But if you meant it—if you’re not capable of remaining in a submissive headspace for more than a few hours—you’ll need to ask your partner, before the padlock clicks shut, just how long she intends to keep your cock locked up. “Being locked also has another side effect that you wouldn’t perhaps anticipate,” Sheets added. “Whenever you become turned on, you feel your cage or belt against your penis. It can be anything from a gentle reminder to a vicelike grip, depending on your arousal level. And whenever this happens, your mind automatically turns to your key holder, even if they’re not around.” Ruffled Sheets blogs at ruffledsheets.com, where he reviews male chastity devices and other sex toys. Follow him on Twitter @ruffledsheets. My girlfriend of four months has unofficially moved in with me. We began as a long-distance thing; I live in New York City and she lived in the Deep South. What began as her visiting me for the holidays ended up with her staying with me indefinitely. She comes from a very poor family, and going back home means sleeping in her grandma’s living room. Things are going well, but we are moving fast. I’m not sure how I feel about this. On one hand, I’m loving it and loving her. On the other hand, I feel like she could be using me. She has found part-time work. She hasn’t pitched in for rent—I also have a roommate—but she has pitched in for groceries. Do I ask her for rent money? Do I send her back to her grandma’s place? I don’t know what to do because I feel like I am housing a refugee. -She’s Here Indefinitely Now Instead of ending things now to protect yourself from retroactively feeling shitty about this relationship if it ends at some point in the future, SHIN, you should have a convo with your girlfriend about rent, reality, and roommates. Tell her that it can’t go on like this indefinitely—living in your apartment rent-free—as it’s unfair to your roommate and that kind of support is too much to expect from someone she’s been seeing for only four months. Tell her you appreciate the ways she’s kicking in now—helping with groceries—but eventually she’ll need to start kicking in on rent too, and then set a realistic date for her to start paying rent. You should also encourage her to think about getting her own place. Not because you want to stop seeing her—you’re loving it and loving her— but because a premature commitment (and cohabitating is a commitment) can sabotage a relationship. You also don’t want her to feel so dependent on you that she can’t end things if she needs to. You want her to be with you because she wants to be with you, not because she’s trapped. You ran a letter from a man whose wife wouldn’t let him spank her. I’m a woman whose husband won’t spank me. I found a man like WISHOTK, and we meet up for spanking sessions. Neither of our spouses know. It’s only spanking, no sex. How bad should I feel? -Really Erotic Dalliances But, Um, Married Very bad. In fact, REDBUM, I think you should be spanked for getting spanked behind your husband’s back—then spanked again for getting spanked for getting spanked behind your husband’s back. And then spanked some more.

with Armistead Maupin
Saturday 8 - 3 pm Sunday 9 - 4 pm COURTESY ARMISTEAD MAUPIN
Author Armistead Maupin’s beloved Tales of the City novel series began as a serialized fiction in the San Francisco Chronicle that introduced readers to the interwoven lives of characters coming of age in San Francisco. The stories became nine novels that have long been recognized as seminal works chronicling the LGBT fight for human rights, as well as a multi-decade love letter to the city itself. Tales of the City has been previously adapted into film by PBS and Showtime, and a Netflix reboot is currently underway for which Maupin serves as executive producer. Maupin’s memoir, Logical Family, tells the author’s own journey growing up in the conservative South, serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War and landing in San Francisco where he became a leading voice for gay rights. Jennifer Kroot’s documentary, The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin, highlights the impact of his work and the struggles and triumphs of the community he’s championed. Maupin appears at the Center for Contemporary Arts this Friday (6:30 pm March 30. $20. 1050 Old Pecos Trail, 982-1338) for a screening and signing. (Julia Goldberg) You talk in the documentary about how coming out opened you up to the world and made you a writer. Can you expand on that connection? I said it pretty early on in the documentary—in that old interview in my late 20s—that until you open up your heart and look at your own feelings, you’re not really able to write about other people. When I was in Vietnam, I remember talking to some of the men about the women back home that they missed, their wives and girlfriends, and I could sympathize with the loss, but I didn’t really know what it felt like to love someone that deeply and miss them. That didn’t happen until I came out and could celebrate the loves of my life. I think it makes you a better writer.

At the beginning of the documentary, writer Neil Gaiman characterizes Tales of the City as a Trojan horse for advocating for gay rights, for human rights. I thought the film was sort of a Trojan horse as well—a documentary about you that was actually a call for truth and honesty. Do you feel that way about the work? I was completely aware that I was sneaking things in under the eyes of a daily newspaper and I was using the charm of those characters to make people understand how they lived. The shortest answer is I have always known what I was doing and I have always been happy to do it. [Regarding the film], it’s also a portrait of a whole generation of gay people, a portrait of a city at a certain time—it reaches much beyond me, that’s why it’s so popular. As a leading activist, do you see a current frontier for human rights activism? These kids, these smart teenagers that are infinitely smarter than the goofball running the country, who are standing up and speaking out and saying, this is not satisfactory, you will not do this—I am so proud of them.

ero’s work; perhaps the most complicated is an herb grinder or a distilling still for essential oils. There is an important and pure relationship between the knowledge in the mind and the work of the hands. The mind directs the hand to touch the earth directly, to pick from it and to share it for healing. For Enos, this is one of the most fundamental and dignified of human acts. And for you allergy sufferers, here’s some advice: To live with spring, we must recognize that there is wind, dryness and pollen blowing about. For balance, we ought to seek things that are calming, moistening and cleansing. The tastes of the season are bitter and sour, and the organ most at work is the cleansing liver. “Try some nettle. Try a dandelion and arugula salad,” Enos advises. “Dandelions pop up in the spring for a reason; eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits that are coming into season.” Fortifying the liver and immune system, you may notice your allergies lessening as you come into balance with the Earth.

and intention. Enos began realizing this purpose in the mid-’90s by offering sporadic classes, but everything came together in 2011. “The time was just right. There was increasing interest, and there’s a big sector of society looking for natural remedies,” Enos tells SFR. He began offering a complete, 250-hour “Foundations of Herbal Medicine” course that covers everything from identifying plants on the ground and their potential uses to preparing essential oils, creams and tinctures. “It’s community healing!” Enos says with enthusiasm. “When someone begins realizing that their lives are improved by the plants, then they share them with others, and soon the whole community will be more balanced than before.” In September, toward the end of the course, students display their preparations in the parking lot of Milagro, keeping the handmade, creative traditions of herbalism alive. (If you are interested in the course, the 2018 session begins on April 17; registration for the few remaining slots is available at milagroherbs.com.) Few tools are needed to do the curand-

llergy sufferers may cringe to hear it, but spring is my favorite season. Longer days, warmer temps, the rebirth of plant life, the return of the birds—and under it all, omnipresent in the wind, is an unshakeable sentiment of growth and change. Helping others come to terms with this seasonal sentiment is the work of Tomás Enos, who holds a doctorate in ethnobotany, at Milagro Herbs (1500 Fifth St., Ste. #6, 820-6321). He was eager to share his wisdom when I visited. Using only the things he’s learned, his hands, and the plants around him, Enos brings clients into an integrated state of balance and gievs them the guidance to maintain it. What is an “integrated state of balance,” and why is it so important to search for it in the springtime? “We are complete people—spiritual, emotional and physical,” Enos says. These oft-used categories to describe the parts of our nature, however, can sometimes distract from a deeper truth—the fact that we come from the Earth, we evolve alongside it and are “hardwired into it,” to borrow Enos’ phrase. If spring is a time of change and rebirth, then the quality of the season will be reflected within us. To create and maintain a solid ground for this change and growth is what we should attempt in the springtime; thus, Enos says, an “integrated state of balance” between our inner selves and the outer world. Spring cleaning is one aspect of how we ground ourselves during this season; the sinus filth that comes from allergies is an example of how the body becomes unbalanced. The knowledge we have about ourselves, and the words we use to convey it, must be
grounded in the cycles and patterns of nature in order to create effective medicine. Enos achieves this grounding through his knowledge and use of plants and the seasons. “In the 1980s, I was looking for a point in my life. … I wanted to see if I could make my way with just my knowledge, just what I had in here,” he says, gesturing broadly towards his head. As an herbalist, Enos’ extensive resume includes lecturing at the University of New Mexico, instructing in ethnobotany and herbal medicine and consultancy for numerous private and public organizations. He founded Milagro Herbs 28 years ago and has kept it growing since, with four other herbalists employed by the shop to maintain the hand-crafted and personal nature of his products. Enos focuses on learning about the plants that are indigenous to this area and using them in his products. There is something he calls the “season of New Mexico,” a unique quality that is created by the plants, the earth, the atmosphere and so forth. While it may be helpful in some cases to isolate certain active chemicals that plants create and to use plants that come from other continents, Enos asserts there is something incredibly important about having a complete, personal knowledge of the properties of local plants and their histories. The ancient art of curanderismo benefits from more than 10,000 years of knowledge tradition; “As long as there have been people in New Mexico, there has been curanderismo,” Enos says. “It must be orally transmitted—there are few books.” There are many layers to curanderismo, including knowledge from Indigenous Americans, Spanish settler-colonialists, Ayurvedic traditions and modern medicine. The curandero provides healing not just with herbs, but also with knowledge

Roland, slightly drunk, leans back. “This is really sexy, by the way.” It was the first moment that struck me in the gut: This playwright knows exactly what he’s doing. Payne’s script only continues to impress, and Renzo and Harrison only continue to do it justice. Right down to the phenomenon that, when it comes to having sex with someone new, somehow six times is the universal magic number at which you start to consider it seriously (what is that about, anyway?), Payne has tapped into a remarkable 21st-century collective subconscious about dating and romantic interaction that hits hard and never stops coming, yet is never sentimental or formulaic. This show could easily have fallen on its face, but Renzo and Harrison have built a watertight ship. Renzo particularly excels as the loving but complex Marianne— even the slightest turn of her head or dip of her chin speaks volumes. She settles so deeply into the character that she becomes virtually unrecognizable from previous roles or offstage interaction. For Harrison, Renzo is a tough act to follow, and he takes a bit longer to build up to her level. As the show ramps up, it’s difficult to tell whether he’s playing lower-energy or simply is lower-energy. There’s never any lag between lines, mind you, and the shifts between possible emotions and outcomes are effortless in his
hands, but herein lies the difficulty when you’re paired with a formidable actress. You can be simply fantastic, yet are always one-upped. That being said, Harrison doesn’t disappoint. In the show’s climactic scene— which, for a show so strongly based on dialogue and vocal nuance, was boldly scripted with no words exchanged—he catches up to her breakneck pace, and the two spar intensely through breath and gesture. It could have been a reach; it could have been impossible to interpret. But here, an exhale through the nostrils becomes a monologue, a fist clapping on a hand is a diatribe. The actors as a pair had to build, yes—but once the journey was complete, the coupling was immense. The only aspect of this production that significantly tripped up this writer, however, was (ironically enough) perfect adherence to the complex script. Of course, this was mostly necessary for such an intricate show, but the original story was also firmly placed in London—and along with that came the requisite British slang. Renzo and Harrison spoke in their natural nonregional American accents, but from “telly” to “bloke” to “mum” to references to curries and pubs, we were occasionally thrown off by the actors speaking in a way that cognitively didn’t line up. Renzo and Harrison don’t trip over the words, though, and director Lynn Goodwin tells SFR that sticking with the script as it stood and with the actors’ voices as they are was a conscious choice. “I didn’t have them do accents because I felt that the play can be anywhere. It’s a message about humanity, and not about specifically British people,” she says. “I didn’t feel it had to be set, necessarily, in England.” All things considered, the suspension of disbelief required to get over the American-sounding Marianne and Roland referring to their apartment as a “flat” is small potatoes. There were so few negatives to concentrate on otherwise that this stuck out, and perspective on that is important. Tight delivery, believable chemistry, and a marvelous script buoy whatever we may have picked out about Constellations—a show that, to borrow Roland’s words, exhibits an unfailing clarity of purpose.
STEPHEN DUNN
eviewer Ben Brantley of The The play hits its stride when, during New York Times said in 2015 one of its many first-date scenarios, that playwright Nick Payne’s Harrison splays on the floor, bemusedly Constellations “may be the watching Renzo’s Marianne circle him, most sophisticated date play Broadway gesturing wildly, talking about relativity has seen,” calling it “supremely articu- and quantum mechanics and explaining late.” Here at SFR, we aren’t really into how, in order to have multiple or infinite quoting other publications, but this kind choices, it could indeed be that there are of exalting praise from such a print behe- multiple or infinite universes in which moth gave us pause. Really? Really, New all of those choices have played out, and York Times? Them’s fightin’ words. there are then multiple or infinite repliWell, we gotta just see this for our- cas of each of us in those universes. selves, then. Constellations, currently staged at the Adobe Rose Theatre by Just Say It Productions, is indeed articulate, and becomes only more so as the minutes tick by (there are about 80 of them, with no intermission). The characters are Marianne (Alexandra Renzo) and Roland (Scott Harrison), two intelligent and complicated people who fall in love. Using a basis of string theory that never feels heavy, the script employs a kind of record-scratch device to show all the different ways in which their meeting, their interactions and their eventual denouement could have happened. This has been described as a play about nerds in love—and sure, maybe it is, a little bit—but not cringe-inducing fedora-tipping “m’lady” Reddit nerds. Marianne is a physicist at Cambridge University and Roland is a beekeeper, and through seemingly infinite natural-feeling interactions, two slightly awkward but ultimately Dance me to the end of love.

The Too-Loud Kitsch of Noisy Water BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN a u t h o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
O
ccupying prime real estate right next to the Lensic Performing Arts Center, the new Noisy Water Tasting Room is decorated in cheerfully bright white wood shelves stacked with cases of wine. But that’s not why I’m mad. A cursory inspection reveals that bottling falls into two tiers. On the one hand you have the higher-end stuff, which is vintage-dated and actually has a variety or two listed on the label. For example, the 2014 $58 Absolution is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Then there’s the lower tier of wines like the $20 Tighty Whitey Wine pinot grigio, a concept and label so kitschy it makes me cringe from secondhand embarrassment. Apparently, this wine won actual awards in the form of a handful of medals at the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. It’s a charity wine event for cancer research, and the organization gave out 2,613 medals in 2017 alone, so I don’t know how you could enter and not actually win something. Contributing to cancer research is noble, but not the same as actually making good wine. “Noisy” is the English translation of the Spanish word Ruidoso, which also happens to be the name of the town where the winery was founded in 2009. The operation buys grapes from any available source of decent plant matter in New Mexico, mainly from vineyard land around the banks of the Rio Grande, Albuquerque and Deming.
By no means does a winery need to tend its own crops to make good wine. In fact, growing grapes in New Mexico is hard work. Our growing season has frosts in late spring and early fall, so grape varieties need to be the kind that bud late and ripen early. They must also be drought-resistant. The average mean rainfall in the state (which can veer wildly from anywhere in between 2 and 33 inches) is 13.9 inches. For reference, about 20 to 30 inches are required to produce a decent crop of grapes. In addition to possessing a unique climate and landscape, New Mexico’s heritage and history is rich and contains influences from all parts of the United States and South America. Why not talk about that and bring that into your wine story, instead of slapping a label with a cartoon Marilyn Monroe-esque figure on your Jo Mamma’s White blend? The winery has two other tasting rooms in Ruidoso and Cloud Croft and produces 50 different wines, but only 20,000 cases a year. In a 2017 interview, owner Jasper Riddle told the Albuquerque Journal he aimed to target both seasoned wine aficionados and drinkers who want wine to be fun and approachable. “We can hit both groups,” Riddle maintained. The good isn’t always the enemy of the great, but the tacky is the enemy of both—and if you’re going to push your $24 Big Legs Red blend in the same space as you’re offering a $44 reserve malbec, who exactly are you trying to appeal to, if not both down-market and upscale tourists on a spree? This is the kind of wine you encounter in any small town across the United States. Why is novelty wine in downtown Santa Fe?
A winery based in a small mountain town struggles to adapt to downtown Santa Fe
Cute. But when it tastes like spicy pancake syrup, who cares?
It’s certainly not for locals. Local wine has to compete with all other alcoholic beverages to occupy space in our glasses, and the non-wine options in this state are just too appealing. I fully identify as a wine drinker, and I’d drink any Santa Fe Spirits cocktail or Cumbre beer before New Mexican wine—except for Gruet in certain occasions. Noisy Water isn’t aiming to change that. Just to be fair, I decided to taste a flight for $10. I started off with the Tighty Whitey pinot grigio ($20 a bottle), which was forgettable. Then I followed with the 2015 reserve chardonnay ($27 a bottle), which tasted like a fruit cooler with butter poured on top and seemed awfully sweet to me for a wine labelled dry. I moved on to a 2015 dolcetto ($27 a bottle), which was actually pretty decent; then the 2014 Absolution ($58 a bottle), which was fine but clearly overpriced. But this is a typical turn-off for me where wines made from local grapes are concerned. At least it had a vintage date on it? Finally, I tried the Rojo Caliente Red Chile wine ($24 a bottle). It tasted a little like spicy pancake syrup, which made me alternatively sad and angry. Good table wine should come from a specific place and culture, not from a marketing campaign designed to appeal to the lowest common denominator palate that prefers all things innocuous and sweet. Why not make good New Mexican wine from grapes that are proudly of a land that boasts an amazingly diverse and unique selection of plant and animal life? Create something locals can be proud of, and please step away from the novelty and the kitsch.

The Death of Stalin Review Farce and madness in Mother Russia
8
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
7
Veep creator Armando Iannucci has certainly proven his affinity for dark and savvy political humor, but whereas his HBO program does occasionally provide redemptive moments for its seemingly heartless characters, his new feature film, The Death of Stalin—which may just be one of the darkest comedies ever made—doesn’t even bother. We join the top brass of Russia circa 1953, a time when comrade Stalin’s lust for power made him paranoid and kill lists were the nightly norm. Here, his top men work hard at assuaging the man, staying up too late watching cowboy movies and enlisting their wives as sounding boards for what drunken banter plays well with their fearful leader. But when Stalin takes ill and the likes of Kruschev (Steve Buscemi), Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor) and Beria (Simon Russell Beale) enter a power vacuum, hilarity and all hell break loose, making for some of the most cringe-worthy and excellently funny writing we’ve ever seen.
6 5 4 3 2 1 WORST MOVIE EVER
9 + IANNUCCI IS A GENIUS
- SOME BITS CAN LAG
Stalin ultimately proves a wild and capable farce, with powerful and self-absorbed yet pitiful and ridiculous men each attempting to grasp power before their colleagues. An early sequence that finds various Russian ministers forced to admit they’ve either imprisoned or killed their country’s best doctors, thereby making suitable aid for Stalin impossible, is particularly hysterical as each flounders to justify the absurd shape of things. Buscemi shines particularly in these moments, a bit of a toad whose story we all (of course) know, but a terrified boob grasping for self-preservation. Tambor wows as well, taking a more idiotic yet soft tack as Stalin’s deputy who maybe just wanted to fly under the radar but obviously can’t anymore.
And the madness grows and twists until we hate pretty much everyone even as we might understand how they created such dire straits for themselves. All the while, Iannucci’s keen sensibilities throttle the movie forward, rarely taking a beat and relentlessly bringing the laughs. Will you feel guilty for some of the things you find funny? Absolutely. But so enjoyably you won’t much care. Do not miss this movie.

RED SPARROW
+ ZOEY DEUTCH; FUNNY/CREEPY - JOEY MORGAN IS MEH
Director/writer Max Winkler makes the leap from television programs like the strangely addictive Crazy Ex-Girlfriend with Flower, a semi-adorable indie flick that examines the sometimes unbelievable antics of a sexually liberated teen girl who uses the power of blowjobs to exploit money from creepy dudes who should sincerely know better. Erica (Zoe Deutch, The Disaster Artist) and her friends use said blowjob plan to raise cash for her incarcerated father’s bail, but when her soon-to-be stepbrother Luke (Joey Morgan, Compadres) gets out of rehab where, we learn, he was placed for an addiction spawned by alleged sexual abuse, Erica’s misguided thirst for scamming skeezy creeps pushes the pair into a situation well beyond their control. Deutch is a revelation, all at once channeling a preternatural ability for embodying a confident woman with a skewed idea of feminism and naive youngster who can’t admit she doesn’t have all the answers. Morgan, on the other hand, struggles to keep up, and their chemistry feels off. Perhaps we’re supposed to see a modern day Bonnie and Clyde, but we

simply don’t. All the same, at the heart of each character lies a flawed desire to do good. Scott is also charming in his own way, and it’s kind of nice to see him shed his neurotic nice guy typecasting for that of undercover scumbag. But do the ends justify the means? Rarely. And Flower does falter in making us believe any of Erica and Luke’s actions are warranted. Brashness may be the curse of the teenager, but Erica is presented as too-smart-for-her-owngood, a character trait that all but flies out the window thanks to to her impulsiveness. The last act wraps rather quickly, though we’ll hand it to Winkler and crew for eschewing the tidy happy ending for something a bit more realistic. Either way, Deutch is the draw here, and we expect great things from her in the future. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, R, 90 min. TOMB RAIDER

Alicia Vikander muddles through subpar material in Tomb Raider. who has turned her back on her trust fund in favor of underground bicycle races and working hard. Whatevs. Her dad (Dominic West, who is crazy-handsome) has been missing for seven years in search of answers about the afterlife, or more specifically, an ancient Japanese queen who was sent to an uncharted island to die because she was evil and stuff. Seven years is just long enough for Lara to quit all the daydreamin’ and take over the family company and fortune. Ruh-roh, though, because she begins uncovering clues to her father’s actual life, that of an amateur archaeology enthusiast who clearly didn’t love her as much as he claimed. Lara takes off looking for answers, is swept up in a whole bunch of tomb raiding and ledge-leaping and secret society nonsense and, all the while, learns a thing or two about what kind of Croft she really is. Those who played either of the recent Tomb Raider reboot games from developer Crystal Dynamics will find a mishmash of their narrative elements wrapped up in a package that’s far more akin to a gaming experience than actual film. That’s not a bad thing per se, but as far as genre movies like these go, a new identity could have been interesting. Director Roar Uthaug (whom you don’t know, we promise) even throws in subtle nods to gaming mechanics, such as how Lara climbs on shit, her love of the bow and arrow and ridiculous ancient puzzles that surely could never have been created by anyone without an advanced engineering degree. Indiana Jones this ain’t, especially in its accelerated pacing, faceless villain Mathias (a reference to the villain from the 2013 video game, though far less dimensional despite actor Walton Goggins’ best attempts) and painful tries at comic relief, all of which fall flat. Even worse is having to watch master actors like Derek Jacobi (I, Claudius) sit on the sidelines with roles so meaningless they make Denholm Elliott in Last Crusade look like a commanding and vital performance. Whatever. People still get shot, things still get blown up and Vikander still scrambles around coming into her own, right up to the last few moments with Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead) for some reason—moments that scream “Maybe we’ll try better for a sequel, but you already paid, so …” (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 118 min.

+ DIVERSE CASTING; STORM REID - LACK OF NUANCE; POSSIBLY TOO MUCH GLITTER
Madeleine L’Engle’s 1962 children’s novel, A Wrinkle in Time, was rejected by more than 25 publishers before becoming an award-winning classic story about quantum physics, the
danger of conformity and the power of love. Though geared at young readers, the story’s nuanced mesh of science, female heroism and, yes, Christian ideology nudged its appeal to adults as well. The story’s protagonist, 13-year-old Meg Murry (Storm Reid, 12 Years a Slave), is an angry outcast suffering from the loss of her father (Chris Pine of Star Trek fame), a scientist who, along with his fellow scientist wife (Beauty and the Beast’s Gugu Mbatha-Raw), has learned to “wrinkle” time and travel the universe and has been captured by the pervasive evil that seeks to turn all beings away from the light. Meg, her prodigy little brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) and new friend Calvin O’Keefe (Levi Miller, Pan) set out to rescue him. Director Ava DuVernay’s adaptation falls unsurprisingly short in capturing the nuance of L’Engle’s novel, relying frequently on baffling amounts of glitter and eyeshadow to convey magic and angry trees to connote evil. The trio of magical beings, Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which (Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling and Oprah Winfrey, respectively) appear here with particular Disney theme-park camp, although Winfrey’s bone-deep ability to convey empathy makes for some of the film’s most touching moments. That empathy is primarily directed to Meg, played by Reid with hints of the fierceness and nuance that emblematized the original book. The young characters’ rescue mission takes them to Camazotz, a place where evil, fear and conformity have enslaved inhabitants. The film’s greatest adaptive decision was its diverse casting, which reinforces L’Engle’s original message about the importance of individual spirit and experience in the fight between good and evil.

+ NOT BORING, PER SE … - … BUT NOT SO GREAT
Setting aside how much we don’t buy Jennifer Lawrence (Mother!) as the Bolshoi’s prima ballerina, it becomes even more absurd when an accident onstage somehow forces her into the spy-packed world of international espionage in Red Sparrow. Lawrence is Dominika, a young woman whose uncle is the minister of, like, shadowy operations or something for Russia. He tricks her into the spycraft game of them vs. America and the search for a mole they believe has infiltrated their government. But why would she just do this? So she can care for her mother, who ails from some nameless sickness, obviously. Apparently in Russia, if you can’t make the big bucks as a ballerina, you have to

What follows is a series of confusing double-crosses, brutal torture scenes and wildly un-sexy sex rendezvous. Pointless characters pop up regularly and scenes wherein somebody does a sneaky spy thing only for it to be discovered moments later render said spy thing moot. Not to worry, though, because lukewarm performances are everywhere, from Joel Edgerton (from the Netflix original movie Bright, which we still say should have been called Lieutenant Goblin) as the forgettable CIA agent, Matthias Schoenaerts (The Danish Girl) as the cruel uncle, Charlotte Rampling (Assassin’s Creed) as the heartless spy school headmistress, and Jeremy Irons as … well, he really only ever does Jeremy Irons. All the while, Lawrence’s silly stab at a Russian accent undermines what was an already painfully too-serious performance, and Mary-Louise Parker’s brief turn as an unscrupulous chief of staff for a US senator feels like one of the most low-stakes and overblown setups in the history of spy film. Still, Red Sparrow does manage to not overstay its welcome (even with a running time in excess of two hours) so long as one understands that it should by no means be taken seriously or assumed to be anything other than an escapist means of killing a couple hours. If nothing else, scenes of Moscow, Budapest and Vienna remind us that Europe is pretty beautiful, Russia is pretty bleak and that we can fall back on John le Carré in a pinch.

+ CULTURALLY IMPACTFUL; BADASS
WOMEN - HEAVIER STUFF LOST IN THE NOISE
Someplace between the joyous celebration of all things African culture and the tremendous principal cast of all black actors in Black Panther lies a fairly run-of-the-mill comic book movie narrative, but it almost seems at this point that if we’re hitting any Marvel Studios movie in search of the non-formulaic, we’re going to be sorely disappointed. We enter the fictional African nation of Wakanda as its prince, the mighty T’Challa (Chadwick Boseman, 42), is set to take the throne following his father’s murder (which you may have seen in Captain America: Civil War). For hundreds of years Wakanda has thrived thanks to the also-fictional vibranium, a metal so precious and powerful that it can make any far-fetched sci-fi dreams come true; a metal that just so happens to exist only there. Up until now, pretty much no outsiders have entered Wakanda, but when a mysterious former US soldier (Michael B Jordan, Creed) starts poking around and trying to find his way in for nefarious reasons, T’Challa must confront heavy
truths about his country, his people and the heartbreaking past of African Americans. Fill things out with utterly badass women like Nakia (Lupita Nyong’o) and Okoye (Danai Gurira), and we’re really getting somewhere. From a purely aesthetic standpoint, Black Panther is a complete triumph. The costuming and hair, the production design and, frankly, the hot-as-fire score and soundtrack (thanks for the hit jams, Kendrick Lamar!) are all glorious. Where it falters, however, is in its attempts at a deep story. At the very edges of the action lies surface information about colonization and racism, but we never dive deep enough into these concepts in any meaningful way. Rather, they’re mentioned briefly between kickass fight scenes which, yes, are kickass, but how refreshing and potentially valuable it might be to see a comic book film dissect something real. Still, the requisite explosions and shaky morality plays are there, along with the always-fantastic character actor Andy Serkis. Perhaps director-writer Ryan Coogler (Fruitvale Station) is simply dipping his toes into the concept of a heavier (or more grounded) direction, and we really hope he gets there with a sequel. For now, though, Black Panther is still a gorgeous film and the most culturally significant Marvel outing to date—that’s something all on its own. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.

This beautiful kitty was rescued with her littermates in 2011 and subsequently adopted. Unfortunately, her human has had to return her due to becoming a caregiver for her elderly parent. TEMPERAMENT: GRACIE is sweet and gentle. She gets along with other cats and cat-friendly dogs. GRACIE enjoys being brushed and even the occasional bath, which is a common trait of Turkish Angora cats who like water. Although she is pure white, she is not deaf. AGE: born approximately 3/10/11.

PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES HANDYPERSON
Precious is a 60 pound mixed breed that came to the shelter recently as a stray. She had an unregistered microchip that we could track back to another shelter so we are pretty sure of our age guess of 8 years old — so she is done growing. She is a sweet old gal, tolerant of some of our more rambunctious dogs in playgroup and good with people. Precious has been nothing but 100% sweet with shelter staff. She loves to curl up and snuggle, especially in your lap if she’s invited! Precious’ adoption fee is $60 and she is already spayed, has age appropriate vaccines and a microchip, our medical staff even cleaned her teeth before she came over to adoptions. She will go home with 30 days of pet health insurance and a free bag of dog food. Additional licensing fees may apply.

MIND BODY SPIRIT
Rob Brezsny
Week of March 28th
ARIES (March 21-April 19): A few years ago, a New Zealander named Bruce Simpson announced plans to build a cruise missile at his home using parts he bought legally from eBay and other online stores. In accordance with current astrological omens, I suggest you initiate a comparable project. For example, you could arrange a do-it-yourself space flight by tying a thousand helium balloons to your lawn chair. APRIL FOOL! I lied. Please don’t try lunatic schemes like the helium balloon space flight. Here’s the truth: Now is a favorable time to initiate big, bold projects, but not foolish, big, bold projects. The point is to be both visionary and practical.
auditorium for a party in your honor. APRIL FOOL! I distorted the truth. I do suspect you’ll get more goodies than usual in the coming weeks, but they’re likely to come in the form of love and appreciation, not flashy material goods. (For best results, don’t just wait around for the goodies to stream in; ask for them!)
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Finnish word kalsarikännit means getting drunk at home alone in your underwear and bingeing on guilty pleasures. It’s a perfect time for you to do just that. The Fates are whispering, “Chill out. Vegetate. Be ambitionless.” APRIL FOOL! I told a half-truth. In fact, now is a perfect time to excuse yourself from trying too hard and doing too much. You can accomplish wonders and marvels by staying home and bingeing on guilty pleasures in your underwear. But there’s no need to get drunk.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): There’s a narrow waterway between Asia and Europe. In the fifth century B.C., Persian King Xerxes had two bridges built across it so he could invade Greece with his army. But a great storm swept through and smashed his handiwork. Xerxes was royally peeved. He ordered his men to whip the uncooperative sea and brand it with hot irons, all the while shouting curses at it, like “You are a turbid and briny river.” I recommend that you do something similar, Scorpio. Has Nature done anything to inconvenience you? Show it who’s the Supreme Boss! APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is an excellent time for you to become more attuned and in love with a Higher Power, however you define that. What’s greater than you and bigger than your life and wilder than you can imagine? Refine your practice of the art of surrender.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Actor Gary Busey is very sure there are no mirrors in heaven. He has other specific ideas about the place, as well. This became a problem when he was filming the movie Quigley, in which his character Archie visits heaven. Busey was so enraged at the director’s mistaken rendering of paradise that he got into a fist fight with another actor. I hope you will show an equally feisty fussiness in the coming weeks, Gemini. APRIL FOOL! I lied, sort of. On the one hand, I do hope you’ll be forceful as you insist on expressing your high standards. Don’t back down! But on the other hand, refrain from pummeling anyone who asks you to compromise.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Fifteenth-century Italian painter Filippo Lippi was such a lustful womanizer that he sometimes found it tough to focus on making art. At one point, his wealthy and politically powerful patron Cosimo de’ Medici, frustrated by his extracurricular activities, imprisoned him in his studio to ensure he wouldn’t get diverted. Judging from your current astrological omens, Sagittarius, I suspect you need similar constraints. APRIL FOOL! I fibbed a little. I am indeed worried you’ll get so caught up in the pursuit of pleasure that you’ll neglect your duties. But I won’t go so far as to suggest you should be locked up for your own good.
CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the Scots language still spoken in parts of Scotland, eedle-doddles are people who can’t summon initiative when it’s crunch time. They are so consumed in trivial or irrelevant concerns that they lose all instinct for being in the right place at the right time. I regret to inform you that you are now at risk of being an eedle-doddle. APRIL FOOL! I lied. In fact, the truth is just the opposite. I have rarely seen you so well-primed to respond vigorously and bravely to Big Magic Moments. For the foreseeable future, you are King or Queen of Carpe Diem.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Now is a favorable time to slap a lawsuit on your mom in an effort to make her pay for the mistakes she made while raising you. You could also post an exposé on social media in which you reveal her shortcomings, or organize a protest rally outside her house with your friends holding signs demanding she apologize for how she messed you up. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just said was ridiculous and false. The truth is, now is a perfect moment to meditate on the gifts and blessings your mother gave you. If she is still alive, express your gratitude to her. If she has passed on, do a ritual to honor and celebrate her.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Paul McCartney likes to periodically act like a regular person who’s not a famous musician. He goes grocery shopping without bodyguards. He rides on public transportation and strikes up conversations with random strangers. I think you may need to engage in similar behavior yourself, Leo. You’ve become a bit too enamored with your own beauty and magnificence. You really do need to come down to earth and hang out more with us little people. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, now is prime time to hone your power and glory; to indulge your urge to shine and dazzle; to be as conspicuously marvelous as you dare to be. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The coming days will be an excellent time to concoct an alchemical potion that will heal your oldest wounds. For best results, mix and sip a gallon of potion using the following magic ingredients: absinthe, chocolate syrup, cough medicine, dandelion tea, cobra venom, and worm’s blood. APRIL FOOL! I mixed a lie in with a truth. It is a fact that now is a fine time to seek remedies for your ancient wounds. But the potion I recommended is bogus. Go on a quest for the real cure. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I expect you will soon receive a wealth of exotic and expensive gifts. For example, a benefactor may finance your vacation to a gorgeous sacred site or give you the deed to an enchanted waterfall. I won’t be surprised if you’re blessed with a solid gold bathtub or a year’s supply of luxury cupcakes. It’s even possible that a sugar daddy or sugar momma will fork over $500,000 to rent an
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Aquarian author Alice Walker won a Pulitzer Prize for her novel The Color Purple. She has also published 33 other books and built a large audience. But some of her ideas are not exactly mainstream. For example, she says that one of her favorite authors is David Icke, who asserts that intelligent extraterrestrial reptiles have disguised themselves as humans and taken control of our planet’s governments. I bring this to your attention, because I think it’s time that you, too, reveal the full extent of how crazy you really are. APRIL FOOL! I half-lied. While it’s true that now is a favorable time to show more of your unconventional and eccentric sides, I don’t advise you to go full-on whacko. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Warning! Danger! You are at risk of contracting a virulent case of cherophobia! And what exactly is cherophobia? It’s a fear of happiness. It’s an inclination to dodge and shun joyful experiences because of the suspicion that they will disappoint you or cause bad luck. Please do something to stop this insidious development. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is that you are currently more receptive to positive emotions and delightful events than you’ve been in a log time. There’s less than a one-percent chance you will fall victim to cherophobia. Homework: What quality or behavior in you would most benefit from healthy self-mocking? Write Freewillastrology.com..
