“BEAUTY AND THE BEAST”
IDGI? I must disagree with your review of Beauty and the Beast. I am a women’s historian and feminist who has read many fairy tales from all cultures. ... Fairy tales tell us what our society thinks about women. In this case, Belle, while attractive, is not glamorized as a beautiful girl. She is an intellectual with a strong personality. She rescues her father because she loves him deeply. ... Although the Beast is gruff and unappealing, it is because he is vulnerable. He gives Belle the perfect gift, the library, because he recognizes her thirst for knowledge. He loves her for her mind and spirit. He also shows his love by letting her go to her father’s rescue, again. He knows that by sending her away he has doomed himself, but this is the sacrifice he makes. He has changed from the shallow, self-centered prince he was. In the end, she rescues the Beast through her love. ... I feel, as a feminist, that this is exactly the sort of story we should tell young girls. They are strong, smart, and can be all that and still have a loving relationship. This is a strong message of empowerment and we all need that, whether we are young girls or old widows.

Have a Cup Santa Fe startup hopes to brings pourover home
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
n his makeshift workshop located in the back room of Iconik Coffee Roasters (1600 Lena St., 428-0996), Jakub Svec pulls two generations of automated coffee machines from his bag. One is a prototype. “I tinker with this one every once in awhile,” he says with a laugh, gesturing toward a piece of equipment he partially fabricated and 3D-printed at local workshop space MAKE Santa Fe some months ago. “I like to say this is that one that actually works,” he says. The other machine is what the entrepreneur hopes will be reproduced en mass Svec’s invention is called PERK. Its standout feature is a custom-designed filter created to help automate the process and taste of pourover coffee. The mechanism now stands like a miniature tower, jutting out of the top of the machine. “It’s patent-pending,” he says, “and I call it a ‘bottom-up infusion cham-
ber’ or ‘mechanical suspension infusion chamber.’” Unlike other coffee filters, Svec’s design forces the water up into the chamber to create a more robust coffee that tastes like it was made by an actual human barista. PERK’s fantastic coffee also circumvents a need for cream or sugar. “The thing with a cup of coffee,” Svec says, “is that without cream and all the sugar, it should be about three or four calories. But people put this stuff in there to offset that sort of bitter taste.” Svec, a 2005 graduate of Monte del Sol Charter School, does not have an official academic degree. But with what he calls a “Google degree,” he transitioned from work as a commercial pilot (where he says he grew more interested in the engineering than the flying) to research and development with Santa Fe-based nanotechnology company Norsam Technologies. Before long, he would transition to working with coffee. He won $10,000 from 2016’s local startup comPERK becomes self-aware on the lap of a 3D printer. It petition, bizMIX, for his percolates quietly as it contemplates Asimov’s three laws of idea, which is currently robotics.
Newly minted coffee fanatic Jakub Svec is out to show us just what a coffee machine can do.
the beneficiary of a Kickstarter campaign through which he hopes to raise an additional $100,000 to finish development and mass-produce the equipment through Chinese channels. “I think it appealed to us because it was a business that he wanted to base in Santa Fe that clearly had a global reach,” bizMIX/MAKE Santa Fe’s Zane Fischer tells SFR. “We don’t have any equity or investment. The compulsion behind bizMIX is to support and develop businesses that really want to be in Santa Fe—we’re not trying to make a buck, we’re trying to make a better community. The bulk [of the money for bizMIX] is put in by other small existing businesses who want to see their peers rise.” PERK is the sort of idea that seems simple enough, but fills a niche that wasn’t obvious. “I was going into Iconik a lot and wondering why the heck they were doing pourover coffee, and I kept thinking there must be a machine that did the same thing,” Svec says. “It turned out they were, but I wondered why they cost $10-, $15-, $16,000, and how I could find tricks and shortcuts to get close enough.” In the beginning, Svec set about modifying existing equipment, but the labor and ultimate price point made them inaccessible on a consumer level. The more he learned about coffee and its specific machinery, however, the smaller he was
able to visualize his own invention. Iconik was glad to help, and owner Sean Ham allowed Svec the space to learn as he experimented. “He approached us first just interested in coffee and how we were brewing it, roasting it, sourcing it,” Ham explains. “Any kind of improvement, whether it’s in a process we make at Iconik or through some way of mechanizing it, I prefer to think of it as freeing up time and labor to go tackle other obstacles.” Ham says he isn’t concerned about human workers being replaced by a machine like PERK, and that he looks forward to Svec’s completed product. “In the future, if he comes out with a commercial version after his initial release, we might be open to switching to it then,” he says. The newer generation of PERK is an attractive, post-modern cube that stands just over 13 inches and could fit easily on any counter. It brews one cup at a time and, unlike a Keurig machine, does not create waste. Svec hopes PERK can bring third-wave coffee—think fancy/not-Starbucks—into homes sometime soon. PERK also does tea and, according to Svec, should replicate the taste and quality nicer coffee shops’ brews or, at the very least, come close enough. “The more I was researching coffee, the more I respected it,” Svec tells SFR. “I had no idea how many variables there were or how hard it could be.”

Fizzy Math A proposed 2-cents-per-ounce tax on sugary drinks generates outside interest and inside controversy for Santa Fe 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
S
ugar-sweetened drinks are kind of a big deal. As proof, witness the more than $500,000 poured into the campaigns for and against Santa Fe’s proposed 2-cents-perounce tax on such beverages. Money from the tax would be earmarked for pre-kindergarten programs for Santa Fe’s 3- and 4-year-olds. Political committees filed their first campaign finance reports Thursday March 23 for all the in-kind contributions and money they’ve collected and spent since the beginning of February. In some ways, it’s the first look behind the curtain to see who’s pulling the levers. So far, the dollars for “no” are edging out those for “yes.” But former city councilor Karen Heldmeyer filed a complaint this week with the city’s Ethics and Campaign Review Board, arguing both groups haven’t pulled back the curtains enough. Heldmeyer tells SFR that both committees screwed up by not checking a box that would let voters know a donation came from a group that, in turn, is not required to disclose the identity of anyone who gave it money. When the city considered whether it could force campaigns to reveal the identities of people donating through socalled social welfare organizations that sported names like “Building a Better Tomorrow Today” or some other nebulous moniker, it settled on the simpler option of letting voters know there’s dark money behind the donation. “Instead of trying to trace back who’s given money to whom,” Heldmeyer says of the city’s thinking at the time it wrote the ordinance, “We’re just going to put in that if you’re taking from someone who isn’t disclosing their donors, then you need to say so, and the literature that you’re putting out needs to say so, too.” For both pro- and anti-tax groups, she argues, that hasn’t happened. “The fact that both sides have just totally ignored this part of the law, I find very strange,” Heldmeyer tells SFR.
Maybe it’s not so strange; both sides tell SFR they were just following the city’s directions. “During our mandatory reporting training, the clerk and city attorney instructed us not to check the box referenced in Ms. Heldmeyer’s complaint, and therefore, the additional disclaimer would be unnecessary,” Pre-K for Santa Fe’s Sandra Wechsler tells SFR in an email, adding that the pro-tax committee is happy to

change reports or campaign literature. “Better Way for Santa Fe & Pre-K carefully reviewed the City’s campaign finance provisions and worked hand-inhand with the City to ensure that our recent filing satisfied Santa Fe’s campaign finance disclosure requirements,” says Better Way spokesman David Huynh. The city code regarding elections starts off with broad pronouncements about transparency in campaigning, including how “... the public’s right to know how political campaigns are financed far outweighs any right that this matter remain secret and private.” Assistant City Attorney Zach Shandler says he interpreted code in this election to not require acknowledgment from each committee that it got money from groups that could legally shield the identities of their donors. Shandler says the code is targeted toward candidates, not ballot proposals like the sugary-drink tax. “The discussion as I recall by subcommittee and [the Ethics and Campaign Review Board] was focused on elections involving candidates and if they were coordinating with independent expenditure groups,” he says. Since there are no candidates, there can’t be coordination. Shandler says the city feels comfortable that there’s enough transparency in the election. Better Way for Santa Fe & Pre-K, the anti-tax group that bills itself as “a coa-
lition of concerned citizens, businesses and community organizations,” had just one cash donor: the American Beverage Association. The industry group wired $100,000 to Better Way on March 9. Better Way also received massive assistance with consulting, media buys, legal work and direct mail from the ABA— more than $150,000. The local Coca-Cola Bottling Co. franchise kicked in with inkind contributions, too, shelling out more than $40,000 for signs, flyers, employee time and meals. The Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce was the lone non-soda entity and gave $2,000. All told, Better Way raised $317,000 and spent $96,000 on out-of-state political groups. “I think we would not define our support only in monetary terms,” Huynh tells SFR. “We have a coalition of restaurants and local grocers—over 130 small businesses across Santa Fe.” However, citing concerns about backlash against coalition members, Huynh would not release the list. The anti-tax group listed no individual donors. Pre-K for Santa Fe is also largely funded by big donors who support the tax proposal, including former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg and OLÉ—a political organizing group based in Albuquerque. OLÉ gave $100,000 and Bloomberg donated nearly that much in research and media buys. Pre-K listed just nine individual donors who collectively contributed $855. The United Way of Santa gave the group $2,800 worth of staff time and two local unions, the National Education Association of Santa Fe and IATSE Local 480, contributed as well. The group’s total take was $234,000. “We’re happy to have both local and national support so we’re not drowned out. We’re being outspent,” says political strategist Wechsler, with Pre-K. “We’re super glad OLÉ jumped in.” With six weeks to go until the May 2 election, it seems likely mailboxes and radio commercial breaks will be full of sugary-sweet messages on both sides of the proposed tax. Earlier, Heldemeyer filed a complaint with the citizen advisory board that monitors elections. The Ethics and Campaign Review Board is set to consider a campaign mailing that didn’t provide the name and phone number of the party responsible. Wechsler has said it came from her camp and the oversight was unintended. The last day for city residents to register to vote is April 4. Early voting begins on April 12.

WHY ARE NEW MEXICO SCHOOLS TEACHING OUTDATED SCIENCE WHILE NEW STANDARDS SIT ON THE SHELF?

few weeks ago, in a cherry-wood-paneled committee room on the third floor of the Roundhouse, Lesley Galyas stood up and said what a lot of people seemed to be thinking. New Mexico knows what it needs to do to give kids a better chance when it comes to science achievement, but there’s something in the way. Galyas joined the cabinet agency that oversees education in the state in 2012 and started updating a roadmap for science instruction that had not changed here since 2003. The former head of the New Mexico Public Education Department’s Math and Science Bureau was floored by how it it ended. “Toward the end of my tenure at the Public Education Department, I was tasked to edit and change some of the language in the standards to make them politically sanitized,” Galyas announced as she rose to support a bill to enshrine the Next Generation Science Standards in state law. By the time she spoke to the House Education Committee at the beginning of February, Galyas had left the job. New Mexico still hasn’t updated the standards. For four years, New Mexico Education Secretary Hanna Skandera has had on her desk a unanimous recommendation from a hand-picked panel of math and science experts. They want the state to join a growing list of others that have adopted the nationally vetted Next Generation Science Standards. It’s been two years since Skandera convened a focus group of 85 teachers, professors and school administrators to review new standards. That group also recommended NGSS adoption.
Still, nothing. In questioning during three legislative committee hearings—at the behest of Democrats and Republicans alike—and after numerous phone calls and emails from SFR to both the Public Education Department and the governor’s office, no one in Gov. Susana Martinez’ administration will explain why. The bedrock principles of NGSS are uncontroversial: teaching kids not just the latest science, but doing it using the latest research about how kids learn best. The sensitive parts of the standards are a tiny but politically charged sliver: human-caused climate change and the theory of evolution. Those have been the sticking points for NGSS adoption in other states that, like New Mexico, lean heavily on revenues from extractive industries. And they were the only academic topics raised by senators and representatives who questioned the new standards this spring in the Capitol. Martinez and Skandera refused to answer SFR’s questions about their views on what’s causing the earth’s climate to change or whether humans evolved. Neither would say whether they ordered that the new standards be altered, delayed or scrapped. Some districts and schools in New Mexico are so anxious to boost student performance that they are already incorporating Next Gen principles. The state’s science proficiency numbers are beyond dismal. Just 39 percent of New Mexico high school juniors tested proficient in science last year. Girls lag behind boys; Hispanics and Native Americans trail Anglos. Experts and proponents of the new standards worry the world is well on its way to passing them by. RELUCTANT WITNESS If you go back and watch the archived video of the Feb. 8 committee hearing, hardly anyone in the room has a visible reaction to Galyas when she starts to speak. After a moment, though, Rep. Andrés Romero, DAlbuquerque, turns toward her. He is the lead sponsor of House Bill 211, which would force the standards into law. The bill passed the Legislature and Gov. Martinez has until April 7 to act on it. If she doesn’t, it’s as good as CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

a veto. “Anytime somebody says that they were told by their higher-ups to alter anything is pretty eyebrow-raising,” Romero tells SFR, with regard to Gaylas’ announcement that she was told to “politically sanitize” the standards. “I was surprised that she would mention that in an open committee meeting.” Galyas may have surprised herself; she did not testify in either of the next two committee hearings for the bill. SFR contacted her directly and through intermediaries. She declined to discuss the four years she spent trying to implement NGSS. Public records show Galyas experienced a fair amount of disappointment. She expected easy approval of the new standards. Just before the 2013-2014 school year, she told a meeting of the Math and Science Advisory Council that she’d started the process for a rule change. She expected the clock to start on a 30-day public comment period that fall, for the standards to begin a rollout the next school year and full implementation through grade 12 by the 2018-2019 academic year. In November 2013, the advisory council unanimously endorsed the NGSS and the waiting began. Throughout 2014, the council tracked the slow progress of the standards. In January and February 2015, the PED hosted a two-session focus group for teachers. Working with one of the lead writers of the proposed new standards, the group produced a 500-page comparison of the old standards and NGSS. That June, the focus group endorsed the NGSS “as written in its entirety” and laid out a timeline. In August 2015, the advisory council wrote a letter to Skandera reminding her that it had unanimously endorsed the NGSS two years earlier and urging adoption “as written without any modification” (emphasis by the council). Since that letter, the process of adopting new science standards has stalled.
Education Secretary Hanna Skandera would not answer SFR’s questions about the delay in implementing new science standards.

A LEGISLATIVE PUSH Rep. Romero took up the legislation this year to force the state to adopt the NGSS after Las Cruces Democrat Bill McCamley carried it for two sessions. One of the younger state representatives, Romero is a New Mexico native, a UNM master’s graduate and a social studies teacher at Atrisco Heritage Academy High School in Albuquerque. He also shares a point of view with those who opposed his bill: He’d much rather see new standards created administratively by the PED, not by the Legislature creating a law. But he’s not willing to wait any longer. “There’s a little bit of suspicion because there hasn’t been a reason given as to why these standards haven’t been adopted,” Romero says. “It’s been shrouded in mystery as to why they’d put this council together and then PED would never follow through. Even in their objection [to the bill], they mentioned that the standards need to be vetted through the department.
Here we have standards that have been vetted over the past four or five years. They’ve been adopted by various school districts across the state. Is there something in the standards that they don’t like—like human-caused climate change or evolution? I don’t know of any other standards that they haven’t adopted that have been as vetted.” The education department’s start-andstop approach to the NGSS confounds many of the people who are most intimately involved in the push to adopt new standards. Next Gen was developed with the help of Achieve, Inc., a private firm that helped create the Common Core State Standards and the PARCC standardized tests. Education Secretary Hanna Skandera is chair of the national PARCC board. “My sense is that Hanna is in favor of it,” Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard says. “I know that she directed her department to do a lot of great work.” A Democrat who represents a Los Alamos-centered district full of Republicans and scientists, and a

former teacher herself, Garcia Richard wouldn’t say whether she believed Martinez or Skandera had been tinkering with the standards for political reasons. “I know that PED has done great work in terms of anticipating implementation. They just have yet to push the button,” she says. Garcia Richard supported the bill in the House Education Committee she chairs as well as in a largely partisan House floor vote in which Democrats picked up just two Republican votes: Rep. Jason Harper, a scientist from Rio Rancho, and Rep. Jim Smith, a Sandia Park high school science teacher. After the vote, Rep. Jim Townsend, an Artesia oil man, posted on Facebook that the bill “would require PED to teach man made climate change, natural selection and evolution. Bad bill.” In the Senate, retired pastor Craig Brandt, a Rio Rancho Republican, mounted a defense against the bill during the floor debate mainly because it would have placed standards in statute, in effect going over Skandera’s head. In committee, though, Brandt questioned Romero about NGSS content: “They are treating climate change as settled science, is that correct? … I think you and I would disagree on that.” The senator expressed similar doubts about evolution. But even Republicans who voted against the bill raised questions about the department’s progress toward science standards that can better help New Mexico students into a job market that increasingly favors science and engineering skills
Like many of his colleagues, regardless of how he feels about human-caused climate change and evolution, Dines wasn’t comfortable with ensconcing a specific set of education standards in state law. Garcia Richard understands, but has a different view. “That’s not what this is about,” she says. “This is about the Legislature making a statement about how important we feel these standards are to the future of students.”
NEXT GEN IN THE CLASSROOM In teacher Willow Gersh’s fourth grade 20 23 classroom at El Camino Real Academy in Santa Fe, about 25 kids split into groups 30 37 to discuss what physical weathering looks like. They’re talking about erosion. They’ve already plopped four different 7 14 kinds of rock into trays of white vinegar and are waiting to see the effects of chemical weathering. After a few turns of kicking ideas around in smaller groups, the students sit down in a circle and an instructor asks in top positions. During the Feb. 8 committee meeting, questions. Hands are raised—with at least Albuquerque attorney and Republican as many girls as boys jumping into the Rep. Jim Dines settled into a grilling of discussion—and then the kids start questhe PED staffer who had been dispatched tioning each other. This is a key part of the to the committee. Why, Dines wanted to Next Generation standards, which tout know, had it been four years of vetting the “soft skills” of critical thinking and efwithout a decision from the department? fective communication as a benefit.

Other concepts like recognizing patterns and cause-and-effect relationships cut across those disciplines. Finally, the standards ask students to actually build experiments and models to test what’s being taught. Gwen Perea Warniment, program director for the LANL Foundation’s Inquiry Science Education Consortium, sits in the circle encouraging discussion as Gersh looks on. Warniment works with eight school districts that have already incorporated parts of the NGSS into the current science curriculum. The foundation foots the bill for science kits that guide the way. There’s reading, but there’s also far more action than you’d normally see in a fourth grade science class. The new standards are based not just on the latest scientific consensus, but on the latest principles of how students learn best. Since 1996, when New Mexico’s current science standards were first proRep. Jim Townsend’s Facebook post crystalized mulgated, scientists have conservative opposition to the NGSS. 40

confirmed the age of the universe, probed dark matter, discovered subatomic particles, mapped the human genome—the list goes on. But educators also know volumes more about the learning process. In addition to sitting criss-cross-applesauce on the floors of various classrooms around New Mexico, Warniment also sits on the Math and Science Advisory Council. She very much favors adopting the standards she teaches—in full. Is she worried that political and religious conflict over human-caused climate change and evolution are an obstacle? “That’s a heavy question,” she sighs. “I have heard rumors to that effect. But I feel like it’s important to trust in the goodwill and the professionalism of people in the Public Education Department. They know the richness of research that is behind these standards.” Still, she’s been waiting years for action on the council’s recommendation. For a scientist, she has a lot of faith in the people she advises in the agency. “I would hope that they, just like the PED, want to pursue a process in which there is an open view to what’s inside of the process and not necessarily quietly pass them through in a sanitized version,” she says. NGSS clearly accepts what the overwhelming majority of earth scientists believe: “Changes in the atmosphere due to human activity have increased carbon dioxide concentrations and thus affect climate.” The standards also speak about the fossil record and genetic evidence for evolution. But here’s one small irony: so do the current standards. In middle school, New Mexican students learn how species evolve. They learn about the fossil record in seventh grade. In high school, they’ll learn that the earth is more than 3.5 billion years old and that all life on Earth came from single-celled organisms. Teachers will tell them that human activity impacts the ozone and thus, global warming. There’s no mention of creationism or intelligent design in the current standards. The closest the current standards come to broaching the debate that may be holding up the new standards is this: “Reasonable people may disagree about some issues that are of interest to both science and religion.” OTHER STATES As of December, 18 states and Washington, DC had adopted Next Generation Science Standards. They cut across political preferences and include places as blue as California and Connecticut, as red as Kansas and Kentucky, as green as Oregon and Vermont. CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

SANITIZED SCIENCE
Gwen Perea Warniment, program director for the LANL Foundation, says Next Generation Science Standards emphasize dialogue and critical thinking. Below: Next Gen classes often include time for students to quiz each other—and their teacher—about what they’re learning.
In states like New Mexico, where extractive energy industries like coal, oil and natural gas exert a strong influence on state policy, addressing human-caused climate change has been particularly tricky. Wyoming first reviewed its science standards in June 2012, but the effort to update them “failed miserably,” Department of Education Communications Director Kari Eakins tells SFR. The Next Gen standards were rolled out a year later, but the Wyoming Legislature meted out another failure when it banned all school districts from adopting NGSS. The standards became a campaign issue for state superintendent candidates that fall and, when the dust settled in June 2015, lawmakers repealed the yearold ban. Eakins says the Education Department spent more than $82,000 on a listening tour as it considered what to do next: “We did more public comment on this than on any one thing we’d ever done before.” The primary sticking point was climate change. “There’s no question that was the point of contention,” Eakins says. “Wyoming is the nation’s biggest coal producer and we invented fracking here. And as the argument goes, what are the two biggest things destroying our world? Coal and fracking.” The Education Department formed a review committee composed of parents, teachers, extractive industry representatives and school higher-ups that went through the NGSS line by line, Eakins says. It altered some of the standards, deleted others, and added new ones. On climate change, the group settled on “asking kids to be scientists.”
“We leave it up to them to decide on the hot-topic issues,” she says. “We are asking them to go through the scientific process and make up their own minds on, for example, whether climate change is human-caused.” She adds, “The sense is that people— parents, business folks, teachers—are pretty proud of the standards.” The National Science Teachers Association, however, does not count Wyoming among the Next Gen adopters because it altered climate change language in the standards. Kentucky was the second state, after Rhode Island, to adopt the NGSS in 2013. When the Kentucky Board of Education held public meetings and recommended that the state adopt the standards, familiar points of contention arose, says Nancy Rodriguez, spokeswoman for the state Education Department. After lawmakers balked, then-governor Steve Beshear overrode them and teachers began instructing on the NGSS two years ago. Similar to New Mexico, Kentucky hadn’t reworked its science education standards since 2006. Rodriguez visited a classroom in early March and saw what proponents say is the right way to teach science. Rather than sitting in desks and
listening to a lecture about electricity, students were assigned a project: Build an alarm using household items and a large battery. Unlike Wyoming, Kentucky took the NGSS straight off the shelf without alteration. It’s the same approach New Mexico’s Math and Science Advisory Council recommends.
If we start saying we’re going to start messing individually with this stuff for political purposes, we’re getting away from the main point. -Rep. Bill McCamely
“People who were in opposition have remained in opposition,” Rodriguez says, adding that there hasn’t been any broad pushback from districts or teachers since Kentucky started down the NGSS path. “I think teachers have been really positive, excited and energized about it.” The state is in the process of developing an assessment test to measure progress. THE SEARCH FOR A FIX New Mexico has to do something. Students here lag behind their peers in other states and other countries, according to the National Center for Education Statistics and the Pew Research Center. In a state with two national laboratories, world-class telescopes, a handful of military bases, important archaeological sites and astounding geological variety, there’s ample opportunity to get kids interested in science. Interested students learn more effectively and score better on assessments. In Santa Fe, the proficiency rate of 39 percent would mean 173 graduates at Capital High won’t measure up in science when they get a diploma this spring; at Santa Fe High, 161 seniors would fall short. There’s little chance they’ll ever catch up. The LANL Foundation’s flashy handouts feature a chart that measures lifetime earnings by college major. The top 10 are all in either engineering or computer science. They far outpace most disciplines, even biochemistry and economics. Supporters say that’s exactly why the state needs to rethink how it teaches science and engineering right now. The best way for that to happen, they say, is to adopt the Next Gen standards as written. “If we start saying we’re going to start messing individually with this stuff for political purposes, we’re getting away from the main point, which is to give kids the best knowledge possible to learn these principles and get those jobs that are available at the labs, at the spaceport, at the universities, at the other engineering firms,” Rep. McCamley says. Rep. Garcia Richard thinks that, at the very least, NGSS is worth a try. She’s seen the proficiency scores that drop as interest wanes from fourth to 11th grade. She’s also seen what happens when science and engineering mean something to students who might not otherwise even consider that they could be good at it. “When I was a third grade teacher at Pojoaque,” she recalls, “I had kids who just came alive when they encountered science in this way.” Jeff Proctor contributed reporting to this story.

MUSIC SUN/2
It Means Cicada The true meaning of glam Albuquerqeue’s Chicharra combines three bassists (yup, three), two drummers, myriad three-part vocal harmonies, special guests and more into a glam rock stew. Well, at least it’s their version of glam rock. “We love the idea of massiveness,” says Mauro Woody, one of the bassists who also plays solo as Lady Uranium. “I think what’s wonderful about glam as an idea is that it’s over-the-top; it’s supposed to be about all these different layers.” And layers they’ve got. With a staggering number of effects pedals at their disposal, Chicharra has managed to take the bass guitar, an instrument that traditionally lives in the rhythm section (though not always—don’t write me letters!), and bring it to the forefront of their sound. This sometimes results in heaviness and it sometimes results in sort of stonery elements, but whatever particular sub-genre Chicharra explores, one thing’s for sure: They rock so hard. “We just really like low-end,” Woody continues, “and it’s so nice to explore this
more melodic side of the bass.” Thus far, Chicharra has one album under their collective belt, and as we speak, Woody says they’re “getting our ducks in a row for the release of our second album.” This means the filming of music videos to correspond with a slow trickle of singles to be released before the full album, Let’s Paint This Town in Craters, drops in October from Matron Records and, lucky for us, shows! “It’s prog rock, but in the best way; mathematical, but in a really fluid way,” Woody adds. “We’re playing a little bit of our first album and more of the new one—we really want people to be excited about it.” Color us excited. Should you wish to join that team, Chicharra plays an 18+ event with Florida psych/synth act PLEASURES. (Alex De Vore)

Song Paris Mancini loops the loop
BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
’ve mentioned Paris Mancini’s bizarre looping musical project P S I R E N S before (and that’s gonna be the only time we format the name that way in this piece, but I thought y’all should know that’s the way it goes), but now you’ll have a chance to check her out for yourself at two upcoming shows here in town. And you really should, because goddamn if she hasn’t wormed her way into my mind. Which is odd, as generally projects that combine nonstop sampling and mostly-odd vocal work come across as self-indulgent or like cheating. But Mancini brings a hefty dose of earnestness to her performances. It’s actually quite hard to explain, but it’s like an eerie blend of art project and Bjork weirdness with the challenging musicality (or sometimes lack thereof ) of a band like Oakland’s Clipd Beaks— though there absolutely is a more cohesive vision in Mancini’s work. Hers is a familiar story: artsy type visits folks she knows in the desert; falls in love; never leaves. And though she spends a good chunk of the year styling hair in NYC to keep those bills paid, Santa Fe is home base or, at the very least, a sort of creative catalyst.
I think in the desert, you have to deal with yourself. -Paris Mancini
with loops. And whereas a performer like Moldover (who we totally talked about a couple weeks ago) does this in an incredibly complicated yet decidedly solo way, Mancini’s knack for improvisation and love of collaboration drives her songs; it’s almost as enjoyable to mull over what her process might be like as to see it play out live, often with other musicians along for the ride.
COURTESY PARIS MANCINI
“I think, in the desert, you have to deal with yourself,” Mancini says. “New York is very transient. Here it’s not, and everyone knows who you are and you have to deal with the negative space of the open land.” This idea of minimalism certainly informs PSIRENS’ sound, but with layers of samples, live instrumentation, vocals and sound effects, there’s a lot going on. Think of it as deceptively simple, and certainly not for everyone, but perfect for those looking to dabble with the consumption of something experimental yet still musical enough. Really, though, you’ve just kind of gotta see it for yourself. It’s the natural evolution of a musician who played with bands for years then set out to make up for the loss of personnel
MUSIC
And that’s when PSIRENS was covered in wires.
This caught the attention of local imprint Matron Records, which has thus far released a split album with PSIRENS and Slow Proteo called Mountain Music based on a shared love of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. According to Mancini, Matron plans to put out two subsequent PSIRENS works: one called Others, containing collaborations from over the years, and another of stripped-down piano and vocal songs that has yet to be named. “I think my strength is in hearing the melodies,” Mancini says. “Though I wish I could read music better because I’d love to be a composer … I just hear the arrangements.”
Trust me, though, she’s doing just fine either way. I might even recommend going in to either of the upcoming PSIRENS shows without hearing her first, as I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised—but if you’re the kind of person who just gots to know, you can visit psirensmusic.bandcamp.com.

Existential Style Georgia O’Keeffe, an artist and a style icon STO RY BY M A R I A EG O L F - RO M E RO I L L U S T R AT I O N S B Y T H E A M I L I N A I R É
A
s the mother of modern painting, Georgia O’Keeffe’s minimalist aesthetic influenced every part of her life. She built her house of vision on a strong sense of self, which fostered her artwork and her revolutionary persona, forever marking the world with her impression. The iconic artist wasn’t like her female contemporaries; the largest space in her home was her studio, not the living room. She didn’t wear high heels or much jewelry. She made her own kimono-like robes and dressed mostly in black. As we speak, the Brooklyn Museum has an entire exhibit dedicated to O’Keeffe’s life and style. Featuring pieces from her wardrobe, photographs of her from different eras throughout her life and some of her work, the exhibit, Living Modern, shares a title with the book on the same subject written by exhibit curator and professor emerita of art history at Stanford Univeristy, Wanda M Corn. Living Modern wouldn’t be complete without the collection of clothing Corn borrowed from the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, as well as the help of curator Carolyn Kastner, who worked organizing items and piecing outfits together. Both curators see the consistent stylized thread in O’Keeffe’s world as an inseparable part of her legacy. “Amazing continuity. That’s Wanda’s phrase, and I love that, because this amazing continuity is throughout her life and across all parts of her life,” Kastner says. “This is how she lives, this is how she sees, this is how she thinks.” The collection includes pieces from every O’Keeffe era. Some are instantly recognizable from photos of her taken by
the likes of Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol and the love of her life, Alfred Stieglitz: dark, layered menswear-inspired ensembles and a black-and-white wrap dress. “You think there’s one black suit and you see her looking the same over time, but there are actually parts of four black suits when we got her closet sorted out. So, when one wore thin—and they did— she would have another one made,” Kastner tells SFR, “and the labels inside are dated to a specific time when she had that look remade.” One could line up the years of O’Keeffe’s black suits, dated with passing time, and realize that when she found something she liked, she stuck to it. “That wrap
dress with the belt—we have 23 of those,” Kastner says. “You think you’re seeing her in one dress, but you’re seeing her in one style of a dress. You get the sense that this is a longevity of one look, and there are lots of editorial decisions around the frame of that.” The clothes in O’Keeffe’s closet show signs of wear and repair, hinting that she treasured certain pieces, and that she wasn’t delicate with them. They weren’t things she only wore in photo-
O’Keeffe may have designed and made the hidden rainbow cape herself, and she had at least 23 of her favorite black and white wrap dress.
graphs. “She’s always being fluid and in motion, and her clothes show that. They have pockets and they have patches on them because something happened and she wanted to continue wearing them,” Kastner says. Some items in her closet were so finely made, they sustained wear to perfection; like her cape by New York designer Zoe, who also made Stieglitz’s famous cape. Kastner jokes that it’s fabricated so finely, it could survive a nuclear event. “It’s so beautiful it breaks my heart, seriously,” she says. But the collection includes examples from less affluent times in O’Keeffe’s life, including some she may have designed and made herself. And some of the pieces in the collection have artistic statements hidden in their folds, like a kimono wrap that features a hidden band of hand shibori dyed silk, made by a delicate process of dip-dying. “That’s a very interesting piece and it goes to a very early date,” Kastner says. “It’s common that she would be dressed in black, but there would be a detail that maybe only she would know, like this rainbow of color on the inside.” Founder of modernism and minimalist fashion aside, O’Keeffe was an artist, and she wore things she could paint and move in; things that were comfortable, livable, and in line with her aesthetic. Her tendency toward menswear and robes, wrap dresses and kimonos mirror the current trends so closely, we should honor her foresight and influence. Kastner asserts that the key ingredient to O’Keeffe’s style was simplicity. “Whether it has stripes or plaids or flowers— which are in her wardrobe—they all create a beautiful silhouette. That, I think, is what gives us the sense of style, it’s really a simplified sense of dressing.” If you want to hear more about the Claire McCardell dresses, Ferragamo shoes and Hector Aguilar turquoise belts that remain behind as relics of the iconic painter, attend Kastner’s upcoming lecture on the very subject as part of the Breakfast With O’Keeffe series.

doesn’t replace sex for me. Is there a conversation to be had about this? Should I just keep my mouth shut? I love him but I am so frustrated. -Sincerely Perplexed Over Unwanted Sexual Energy
Gay guy here. Met a guy online. He came over. We had incredible sex and then a great conversation lasting several hours. But—and you knew there was one coming—he told me that he lied about his HIV status. (I asked him before meeting him, like I do with anyone.) He is undetectable, but he told me initially he was “HIV/STD negative.” I got very upset—more from the lie than his status. (I know that undetectable is practically the same as negative.) I really like him, but that was a big lie. He told me all about his life and any other secrets after that. Should I swear off him for lying about such a big topic? Or is the fact he did tell me and our connection enough to give him a second chance? I had not been that happy up till the reveal in, well, maybe ever. But I want to be wise. -Did Ask, Didn’t Tell Why would he lie? To avoid rejection. Obviously. Guys often refuse to hook up with guys who are honest about being HIV-positive even though a positive guy with an undetectable viral load is less of a risk—at least where HIV transmission is concerned—than a guy who believes himself to be negative because he was the last time he got tested or because he doesn’t think he could ever get infected and so has never been tested. Someone who was recently infected is highly infectious; someone who doesn’t think he could ever get infected—because he doesn’t sleep with older guys, because he only tops, because his ass is magic and he uses unicorn spit for lube—is a fucking idiot, and fucking idiots are higher risk for fucking everything. Sometimes positive guys get sick of being punished for being honest, and so they lie— and it’s particularly tempting to lie to someone you don’t expect to see again, i.e., a quick hookup. HIV-positive people shouldn’t lie to their sex partners. Obviously. People should be honest, informed consent is consent, and lying about your HIV status can be risky for people with HIV. Thanks to stupid laws passed by ill-informed idiots, failing to inform a sex partner you’re HIV-positive is a crime in many areas. There are people in prison today—mostly men, mostly black—for failing to disclose. These disclosure laws incentivize not knowing your status—you can’t be punished for not disclosing what you don’t know—putting everyone at higher risk. Why would he tell the truth? It’s possible he lied to you about his status—a lie he regarded as harmless thanks to his undetectable viral load—because he assumed this would be a hookup and nothing more. He wasn’t going to infect you and he wasn’t going to see you again. But after you two hit it off, DADT, he decided to tell you the truth right away instead of waiting weeks or months. The connection you describe is hard to find—this could be the start of something great—but the lie he told was big, yes, but understandable. I think he deserves credit for coming clean right away—and a second chance. I want to fuck my 31-year-old husband more often than he wants to fuck me, his 27-yearold wife. We have been married for three years and together for four. My question is twofold: One, how do I gracefully accept his “no”? We have sex usually two times a week—I wish it was more like five—which means he turns me down two or three times a week. I want to be better at hearing “no” from him without getting upset. The more I freak out, the less likely he is to fuck me the next time I ask. It’s a bad cycle. Two, he watches porn every day. I know because I was naughty and snooped. I love porn and I watch a lot of it myself. But it

You want to have sex five times a week, SPOUSE, you watch a lot of porn, and porn doesn’t replace sex for you. Isn’t it possible that it works the same way for your husband? He wants to have sex twice a week, he watches a lot of porn, porn doesn’t replace sex for him. Don’t assume your husband is having a wank every time he visits a porn site. Lots of people—men and women—like to take a quick peek at porn sites, get a little erotic charge, and then get on with whatever they’re doing without stopping everything to have a wank. That said, SPOUSE, I can certainly understand why you’re frustrated—you’re having a lot less sex than you’d like and you’re constantly feeling rejected—but blowing up about porn isn’t going to help anything. So what do you do with your feelings of frustration? Regarding frequency, SPOUSE, you directly address the issue with your husband and propose a lowstakes, low-pressure (and mutually pleasurable) compromise. Tell him you’d like to aim for three times a week, but put mutual masturbation on the table for that third time and/or the husband giving you a masturbatory assist. He may not be up for PIV more than twice a week, but he may be up for crawling into bed with you and either having a wank with you or holding you and talking porny while you have a wank. As for your frustration around always initiating, well, sometimes we have to accept the shit we cannot change. As the person with the higher libido in your relationship, SPOUSE, you may be stuck being the initiator. I’m a teenage girl and I’m really horny. I always think about sex, and I’d like to masturbate sometimes. I can’t live in this way, sometimes I feel physically and psychologically bad because of this terrible need to have sex or stuff. I’m single, and I don’t want to lose my virginity with a random guy. I really need some advice from you! How can I masturbate or quit this exaggerated libido? -Don’t Reveal My Name Your libido is your libido, DRMN. It isn’t exaggerated, it simply is. Some people have high libidos, some people have low libidos, some people have no libidos, and an individual’s libido can wax and wane and wax again over the years. You’re at the stage of life when people tend to be at their horniest and consequently think about sex a lot. Women and girls, too. (Don’t let anyone tell you that women aren’t as horny as men—reread the last letter.) If you find yourself distracted by sexual thoughts, DRMN, masturbating can help—most people find they can concentrate on other things for at least an hour once they’ve rubbed one or two or three out. As for how you masturbate… Masturbate on your own or with a partner, in private, and whenever you feel the desire or need to. Enjoy!

THE NEW MEXICO BACH SOCIETY For the last 12 years, celebrated sex columnist Dan Savage (whom we run in this very paper every week) has hosted HUMP!, a less-than-traditional user-made and -submitted pornography film festival. Its roots are small, but HUMP! has grown into a nationally touring event. Now, before everyone starts rallying for purity or whatever, keep in mind that this thing is way more about fun and funny or even deep and moving than it is about straightup sex. And though we usually don’t feature Albuquerque events, we’re pretty big Savage fans and think that sex should be normalized and we also like fun and fucking. Huzzah! Hence, we called Savage to get the details about the upcoming HUMP! events at the Guild Cinema (7:30 Friday, March 31; 7:30 and 9:30 pm Saturday, March 31 and April 1. $18-$20. 3405 Central Ave., Albuqeruque, 505-255-1848). This should be hot, y’all. (Alex De Vore)

What’s that selection jury like? Like, is it uncomfortable? I mean, people must get aroused... We have these long debates. We get hundreds of submissions and have room for maybe 25 tops. I have final say because it’s my goddamn film festival! It’s a really fun process, but it’s grueling. People don’t come to HUMP! to sit in a theater and masturbate, and it’s rare for us to get aroused—we’re there to examine the films. It’s a humor/film festival; creative short films with pornography as a theme or pornography allowed. Audiences are challenged by HUMP!, and so is the jury.

Do you ever get protesters? We’ve had some anti-porn protesters, from the right, not the left. It’s only been a small handful. Some guy outside a screening or a bunch of people in Portland handing out fliers about how people were going to hell and I was a monster. Porn is ubiquitous. The idea that no one else had porn before we came and showed it in a movie theater ... When people are walking around with laptops and wifi and phones, there’s porn on the bus, in elevators, in shopping centers. We’ve encountered a few cases where people tried to prevent us from screening. The city of Pittsburgh acutally prevented us from screening, but they already had porn. Any tips for aspiring porn star types? Don’t try to make commercial pornography. The films that do well are the personal ones that show the people who made them’s thing. There are audience winners, and the films that win are the ones that are personal and subjective, not ones that try to appeal to everyone. Have a sense of humor and show us what you’re about. The film that won the grand prize features this older couple discussing their relationship and is interspersed with discussion and their lovemaking. They’re not the hottest people by conventional standards, but it’s so personal and revealing and moving. There’s some kinky ones this year. There’s just a lot of really great stuff.

CHRISTIAN MICHAEL FILARDO
The Cosmopolitans New art blog unites up-and-coming artists in Santa Fe—and across the world BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart
I
s the internet strengthening human connections or degrading civil society? In an era of “fake news” and presidential Twitter tirades, the debate seems all but settled. Santa Fe art world denizen LE Brown presents a more optimistic answer at the top of her new blog. The URL—descent-of-man.com, a nod to Charles Darwin’s seminal text on evolution—conflicts with the header at the top of the site, which reads: “Ascent of Man.” Brown’s reason for the switch becomes clearer as you scroll down the page, clicking through interviews with young artists who have fresh and powerful messages for the world. “Modern modes of communication are really freeing,” says Brown. “You can literally talk to anyone, and that’s a big reason I think the internet is great.” Brown, who works as an associate art director at Nedra Matteuci Galleries by day, has styled herself as a 21st-century salonniere with infinite walls in her digital living room. Descent of Man (the blog’s official title) sheds light on a cosmopolitan community of creatives in Santa Fe and across the world. Our national borders might be tightening in a political sense, but these artists are building virtual bridges that will be much harder to dismantle. On Brown’s first day in New Mexico, she drove from Albuquerque to White Sands National Monument. “I had to pull off to the side of the road, I was sobbing so hard,” she says. “It was so beautiful and intense.” Brown had recently graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz, with a degree in art history, and she was on a road trip across the country. She grew up in Ventura, California, and knew she wanted to move away from the Golden State. When she passed through Santa Fe, Brown printed a stack of resumes and passed them out on a gallery walk. Nedra Matteucci called her not long after she got back to California. They wanted an in-person interview. “That’s when
Brown’s latest interview is with local musician and visual artist Christian Michael Filardo, who shot this 35 mm photograph.
I packed up and drove back, and decided that even if I didn’t get the job I would just stay. And I did get the job,” Brown says. Two weeks after that first drive through New Mexico, she was unpacking in her adobe apartment. That was over a year ago, in February 2016. Brown studied art of the Middle East and North Africa at UC Santa Cruz, and spent her last year of college on exchange in Turkey. Matteucci was her first real exposure to historic and contemporary American art. The sprawling gallery space on Paseo de Peralta was overwhelming at first. “It’s more like an institution than a gallery. I remember my whole first week there I couldn’t find the bathroom, and I was wandering around endlessly,” she says.
As Brown’s knowledge of local art history grew, she also mounted expeditions through Santa Fe’s contemporary arts community. A few weeks after her arrival, she sought out a music performance at a DIY venue in the Siler District, though she can’t recall if it was Ghost or Zephyr. “It was a girl screaming into a trumpet,” she says. “It was so weird, and I loved it.” Brown kept pursuing strands of avant-garde energy in Santa Fe until she fell in with a group of contemporary artists that inspired her. They would become her first interview subjects on Descent of Man, which she launched in December 2016. “Every community has a young art scene, but this is just so intrinsically New Mexican,” says Brown. “It’s a really di-
A&C verse group of young people doing things without restraints.” Local artists Nathan Usher and Lars Jacquemetton were her first guests. Usher is a collage artist who explores political issues and social theory by weaving queer figures and narratives into his work. Jacquemetton, a software developer, uses 3D printers to create swirling abstract sculptures. “A lot of people argue that new media is not a valid art form. How would you respond to those criticisms?” Brown asked. “New medias can iterate themselves and copy freely distributed material and completely change how art can be created,” Jacquemetton responded. “Can you discount new media as being not artistic? That’s hard to argue.” Brown’s next round of posts featured artists and arts professionals from Santa Fe and across the nation. Max Baseman, owner and curator of 5. Gallery off Rufina Street, discussed the joys and difficulties of founding a DIY art space. Portland dancer Juliet Paramor talked about postmodernism and improvisational dance. Cynthia Laureen Vogt, who works with Brown at Nedra Matteucci, discussed the artist books that she’s exhibiting in New York this spring. Descent of Man resolutely breaks the boundaries between regional art scenes, drawing links between them by revealing the genre-defying attitudes of artists across the nation. Brown often connects with interview subjects by surfing Tumblr or Instagram and boldly reaching out. “An online forum can be a melting pot in very literal terms,” Brown says. “I see a lot of young artists talking about their identities in different ways, and working through that in art. It’s hard to make sense of the world right now, and using creativity to come to terms with that is really powerful.” Her list of contacts is constantly expanding, as her interview subjects recommend far-flung artists. Brown has international plans for the blog’s next phase: She’s lining up interviews with artists in the Middle East and South America. New material typically appears on Descent of Man once every few weeks, but Brown plans to increase the frequency of posts. Brown’s confidence grows as she reaches out to bigger names in the art world, but she still gets nervous for interviews. “I do have one or two drinks before I do these interviews. It makes me a little more interesting with my questions,” she says. What’s her drink of choice? “Whatever is closest.” Now that’s a good salon.

WINE
Reinas de la Vid
BY MARY FRANCIS CHEESEMAN
I
t’s a truth universally acknowledged that the world of wine, in all its vastness and diversity, is still a man’s world. In industry publication The Wine Economist, writer Mike Veseth noted how many women fall into a specific category of wine drinker (which he calls “Satisfied Sippers”) and, according to the 2005 Constellation Brands’ “Project Genome” survey: “Satisfied Sippers actually represents the smallest market segment. This predominantly female group knows what to buy and buys it, often in 1.5-liter bottles. ... Although they are 14 percent of all wine buyers, Satisfied Sippers buy just 8 percent of all wine and generate 7 percent of the profits.” It’s like Constellation Brands codified the stereotype of the female wine drinker. Women buy things like “cougar crack” (chardonnay) or “sweet wine,” or they go out and split the bill six ways for a bottle of Gruet. And if the group with the highest percentage of women only buys 8 percent of all the wine out there, why write an article appealing to them to explore their place in the wine world? To close out this Women’s History Month, I want to ask both women and men who are allies of women to change that. I think wine can be empowering to women on all levels: as consumers, as makers and as professionals in the industry. For example, out of 149 Master Sommeliers listed on the Court of Master Sommeliers’ website, only 24 are women. To change that statistic, the contributions of women to the world of wine have to be recognized and celebrated. Specifically, as consumers, we can embrace how wine is uniquely tied to the people who make it, and seek out wine made by a woman. One of the things I am always going to ask in this column is to stop looking at wine as a “brand” and start connecting to the people serving it, selling it and making it. People come into the La Casa Sena Wine Shop and ask about Grand Cru Burgundy with an expectation of high quality. But if you ask about the wines of Anne Gros, you will get something much more specific and personal—the work of one
Cathy Corison’s unique Napa Valley cabernets are so good. No, really— so good.
artist versus the general categorization of their art. It will be a step towards affirming that womens’ taste is an important and valued contribution to the wine world. The following list, by no means exhaustive, is merely an introduction. HEIDI SCHRÖCK vineAfter taking over her family’s vine yards in 1983, Schröck went on to be named the Falstaff Vintner of the Year handin 2003, becoming one of only a hand ful of women to acheive the award. All of her vineyards are situated near the village of Rust, in the province of Burgenland, five miles from Austria’s south-facborder with Hungary. Her south-fac ing, lakeside vines lie on beds of calcarcalcar eous clay mixed with sand, and see more hours of sunshine than most in Austria. The results are undeniably impressive. Every year Shröck puts out a rose called Biscaya. It’s inexpensive (last year it was $17) and the current vintage is due in a few weeks. It’s also a strong and dry style of rose that is perfect for summertime red wine drinkers. DOMAINE WEINBACH Not only one of the most prominent eses tates in Alsace, Domaine Weinbach has been in the hands of women since 1979, when winemaker Théo Faller passed away and left the estate in the hands of his widow Colette, who managed the winemaking alongside her two daughters, Laurence and Catherine. They would go on to make some of the most powerful and beautiful wines in all of Alsace, if not
all of France. It was under Laurence Faller that the winery began and completed the conversion to biodynamics, a uniquely sustainable method of winemaking. Tragically, Laurence died at age 47 from a heart attack in 2014, and in 2015 Colette passed away at age 87. Catherine Faller now manages the estate with her two sons. The legacy of one of the most powerful female-run wineries in the world lives on to this day. Domaine Weinbach possesses 27 hectares of some of the most enviable vineyard land in Alsace, including several Grand Cru holdings, the very best vineyards. Their wines run the gamut of a wide range of price points. CATHY CORISON I probably couldn’t write a better love letter to Cathy Corison’s endeavors than Eric Asimov did two years ago in the New York Times ( just an excerpt: “… It was clear to me in tasting these wines that Corison is among the greatest producers of cabernet sauvignon in Napa Valley today”), but I can add to the sentiment. She’s been making wine in Napa for over 40 years under her Corison label, and makes two cabernets that are hard to put into words—they’re so good. They are also very, very different from anything else in Napa Valley, a vast departure from the big, almost slightly sweet, fruity and ripe style that is characteristic of the region. Both are expensive; the cheaper of the two is around $90 retail (still kind of a deal to me, though, as a bottle of Caymus is $85). These wines age remarkably well, so if you’re looking to store wine long-term, Corison is the perfect place to start.

The Blackcoat’s Daughter Review Shipka shines, the rest feels flat

BY ALEX DE VORE a l e x @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
+ KIERNAN
The introspective, perhaps more socially conscious “new wave horror” movement in cinema has achieved some pretty killer results (what’s up, It Follows?!), but generally speaking, the tone and pacing of such movies can err toward the tedious. Whether this is meant to convey a methodical or even clinical approach remains unclear, and though themes and inspiration from the heyday of 1980s horror are surely part of the equation, we’re often left with a lot of “atmospheric” quiet moments and little payoff. The Blackcoat’s Daughter (which is from 2015 but somehow opens now) falls someplace in there, though the closing few minutes kind of make it worth it … kind of. Two teen girls are left stranded at their upstate New York boarding school over a break when their parents don’t arrive, and as things start to get creepy—y’know, because boarding schools are big and also creepy—young Rose
SHIPKA
- SLOW AS HELL; MINIMAL PAYOFF
(Lucy Boynton of Sing Street) begins to get the heebie-jeebies from Kiernan Shipka’s character, Kat. Meanwhile, another young woman, Joan (Emma Roberts), heads toward the school with an older couple facing the loss of a child. Roberts, in all of her not-talking, weird-face-making, not-responding-to-simple-questions glory, disappoints, though it seems she sincerely tried to bring her all. But still, questions remain. What’s up at the school? Why is Joan heading there? Where the hell are everyone’s parents? And why would the school be like, “Sure, you guys can just stay here by yourselves, just maybe call once in awhile or something”? The answers slowly (and we mean slowly) unfold and we start to think that maybe Kat’s, like,
got a demon all up in her. Ultimately, Shipka’s performance becomes the film’s saving grace. She’s always carried a certain quiet intensity and, with very little dialogue, she brings a new twist to the horror trope of “creepy-ass little girl.” You’ll probably need to be a horror fan to get the most out of this one, but The Blackcoat’s Daughter also has a funny way of sticking with you afterwards. It’s slightly rewarding to figure out the mild twist, but more exciting to revel in Shipka’s mastery of scary faces.

INTERGALACTIC BATTLE ROYALE
- NO UGLY ASTRONAUTS
Director Daniel Espinosa’s (Safe House) new science-fiction thriller, Life, follows six absurdly attractive astronauts attempting to control a celestial lifeform. After recovering dirt samples from Mars, the team discovers a rapidly evolving single-cell organism unlike any intergalactic inhabitant ever seen. The malevolent Martian begins to fight back against its captors with gnarly open-mouth kisses and floating spacecraft bloodshed. This film’s ever-evolving extraterrestrial assassin will surely make you glad you’re seated safely on Earth, maybe for the first time since election night. Before you write off this film as a shiny new imitation of Ridley Scott’s creation spawned by money-hungry Hollywood executives, don’t let the pretty-faced playboys, Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler) and Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), stifle an otherwise intense and entertaining movie; the acting is surprisingly impressive, the effects are outstanding and the sound cues will surely have you on the edge of your seat screaming, “Kill it with Fire!” Though Espinosa may exploit the same basic

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

the help of his house staff, Lumière (Trainspotting’s Ewan McGregor), Cogsworth (Lord of the Rings’ Ian McKellen) and Mrs. Potts (Love Actually’s Emma Thompson), the Beast is able to prove he’s worthy of Belle’s love through manipulation and coercion. Spoiler alert: The two lead characters inevitably fall in love and Gaston is the winner of the No Belle Prize. The Beast, who never once gives his real name and doesn’t correct anyone when they call him such, tears Belle from her ailing father, falsely imprisons her, uses threats of violence and withholds food to convince her he’s “not like most guys,” only to triumphantly win her over with his extensive collection of leather-bound books. Modern romance. While the introduction of new songs, bright colors and subtle hints of Lafou’s queerness (portrayed by Book of Mormon’s Josh Gad) were distracting from the ragtag bunch of feeble fellas this film has to offer, Belle’s line rang true that “there must be more than this provincial life.” Perhaps maybe a plot point that doesn’t center around the alienation or objectification of women who make their own choices? Just a suggestion. Running a nearly unbearable two hoursplus, this film has all the fun-loving problematic characters we know and love from the original animated version. However, the best review for this film is probably a vague “ehhhh” noise and a noncommittal wiggly hand gesture. (KM) Regal, Violet Crown, PG, 129 min.

- SHALLOW, PREDICTABLE AND SILLY
The most recent Hollywood take on the giant ape himself, King Kong, should have left us with a monstrous hunger for more. Instead, it feels like a souped-up version of Honey I Shrunk the Kids meets the third or fourth Jurassic Park all set to the soundtrack of Good Morning, Vietnam. Knowing this movie was heavier on the action than the plot, and wanting the throat-shaking sounds and sights to feel even closer, we went to a 3D showing and don’t regret it. Seeing Kong bat choppers out of the air and smash them together in a fiery explosion was pretty badass, and we were entertained by not just Kong but the surprising other monsters that emerge from the forbidden jungle, splendid in its CGI majesty. Yet, part of what made the flick promising was the thought of seeing Samuel L Jackson take on the biggest gorilla this side of the galaxy and John Goodman as a government monster-chaser.

acters, neither leaves a remarkable impression. The story is not supposed to be complicated, but did it have to be so predictable? Did the filmmakers have to write in one more female journalist (Brie Larson, Rampart) who seems to have brought too few clothes for a jungle mission? Why on earth didn’t she put her hair in ponytail while she tried to take pictures from the open door of the ‘Nam helicopter? And, oh no, why does she go from detesting to flirting with the ex-military expedition leaders in a matter of minutes? Wait for it: Why is she looking so lovingly into Kong’s terrifying red eyes? These and more questions are sure to get non-answers as it seems all but certain there will be a sequel. Maybe even more than one.

+ DEEPLY PERSONAL; HITS ALL OF WHAT AILS SOCIETY
- HEARTBREAKING
On paper, Darius McCollum is the kind of repeat offender that our crime-and-punishment elected officials want to use as reason for harsher sentences. He’s been arrested 19 times and has served more than 30 years behind bars. Every time he gets out, he does it again. But in this documentary, he is a poster boy for the unadulterated failure of our ill-named “corrections” system and of our collective inability to find a place in society for those who don’t fit the mold. McCollum’s true love is transit. From an
early age, he displayed a savant’s proficiency at understanding the tangled web of the New York City subways and buses. He found solace from schoolhouse bullies and welcome in the routine, and befriended drivers who encouraged his interest. In an era before Asperger’s syndrome was part of the mental health parlance, his first incarceration at a hospital didn’t lead to help or coping skills, but a heavy dose of Thorazine. And since trains seem to be the best medicine, his parents sprung him from the psych ward. His first arrest came at age 15, though, and even though he had made all the stops and announcements on the subway he drove, the law didn’t take kindly to his volunteer service. The story would repeat itself with variation through his adult life. Actions like impersonating transit workers, driving trains and buses or using keys he’d acquired to enter restricted areas like dispatch towers never resulted in anyone getting hurt—just him being what the newspapers called “a train in the neck” to enforcers. What’s the most tragic about McCollum’s story is that if, at age 17, someone had overlooked his differentness enough to give him a job driving a bus or a train or some other task as part of a cog in the system that held his passion, he might have spent his life truly serving. It’s easy to imagine seeing this guy every day on your way to work and letting his smile drive you along. Instead, he’s caught in the revolving door of prison, probation and poverty. He doesn’t steal trains for money—he does it because it feels good to him. It makes him happy. That’s the ticket. (JAG) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 86 min.

FAMILY TIES YOU CAN RELATE TO
- GORE AT THE HANDS OF A KID
You know when Clint Eastwood got old and made Million Dollar Baby and it finally sunk in that even he too would wither and fade right in front of us on the big screen? At first, you feel this way about Hugh Jackman in the latest—and they promise us, sorta, the last—Wolverine movie. But then you realize that Logan is getting old, only he’s not going to go quietly into that good night. While this is really the bajillionth in a series of long, sometimes-overproduced and complicated tales in the X-Men franchise, it’s true that you don’t really need a lot of backstory to follow along. Wolverine is tired. He coughs and limps. He works as a chauffeur and carries businessmen and bachelorette parties in a limo around a city that resembles El Paso. But like a lot of those battling the marching of time (read: all of us), he’s got some bigger fights ahead. It’s not just ol’ Wolvie who’s aging, but also Professor X (Patrick Stewart). Once the teacher/ savior/organizer for mutants, now it’s X who needs protecting. But what happens when a man whose brain can stop time develops dementia? It’s what one character says is “degenerative brain disease in the world’s most dangerous brain.” This, and so much more, is on Wolverine’s scarred-yet-still-shapely shoulders. Although “new mutants” were supposed to be a thing of the past, a child with killer instincts and familiar metallic claws arrives in need of saving. After that, maybe their fights have less in common with our fights. Rated R for violence, there’s a ton of gore in the story—no shortage of decapitations, impalements and claws through the head, eyes, neck and every other bloody part you can think of. Yet somehow when a little girl (a great performance, BTW, from a mostly otherwise silent Dafne Keen) lets out a grunt as she delivers it, you’re rooting for her along with the familiar man with the muscles. He’s old. But he’s still got it. (JAG) Regal, Violet Crown. R, 137 min.

“There better not be any tentacle beasts hiding out in this part of Skull Island waiting to murder me and my ape pals!” shouts Kong in Kong: Skull Island. than a simple foray into uncharted territory from a talented comic mind, and instead becomes one of the most original and well-executed horror films in generations. A young photographer named Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) is set to visit his girlfriend’s parents for the weekend. “Do ... they know I’m black?” he asks her nervously beforehand, and we honestly believe Rose (Girls’ Allison Williams) when she answers, “They are not racist.” And at first this seems to be all well and good, though Allison’s doctor-father Dean (a brilliantly disarming Bradley Whitford) and therapist-mother Missy (a wildly discomforting Catherine Keener) seem a bit off, they still appear to at least be trying in that I-swear-I’m-totally-not-racist kind of way. But something is just not right at the Armitage house. It could be Rose’s obviously sociopathic brother Jeremy (Caleb Landry Jones), a far-too-chipper maid (Betty Gabriel) who stands silently smiling at all times or the ominous and terrifying groundskeeper (Marcus Henderson) who speaks like he just so totally has something to hide. Regardless, it’s creepy as hell up in there, but Chris seems to be the only one who can feel it. Get Out shines in its metered examination of tokenism, conditioned racism and even our societal expectations. Peele neatly pulls this off without ever resorting to overt explanations, however, instead allowing the actions of its characters to slowly unfold the goings-on at Rose’s spooky family home. He trusts his audience will be patient, which is a sadly lacking quality of modern filmmaking. By the time all is revealed, we share in Chris’ realization that it may be too late, but we savor the slow burn right up to the shocking truth. (ADV) Regal, R, 103 min.

KEDI
9
polite comrade who haunts a deli patio (but is never so rude as to go inside), a beat-up old tabby who rules her perceived turf with an iron paw, a portside puffer who keeps the mouse population under control and beyond, the brief windows into the lives of cats come together to prove one thing: Cats are beloved in Istanbul. Through this, Kedi sneakily becomes perhaps more about the humans in the cats’ lives rather than the opposite. A sailor, for instance, who once lost everything but was saved by a cat who led him to a hidden cache of money, spends his days roaming the port feeding feral kittens with a bottle. Elsewhere, a baker forms an unlikely alliance with a cat who unwittingly gives his life meaning beyond his work. In a nearby home packed to the rafters with countless strays, two women cook for and feed dozens of street cats daily. Even those who aren’t in love with these fascinating creatures will find a captivating human story here. And rather than linger on the more cutesy aspects of felines, Kedi instead proves an inspiring treatise on the enriching aspects of animals and a satisfying glimpse into the beauty of the city itself. (ADV) Center for Contemporary Arts, Violet Crown NR, 80 min.
+ NOT JUST FOR CAT LOVERS - COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER
The camera moves along the ancient streets of Istanbul, following a particularly adorable orange cat. Diners at streetside cafés hand over treats. Passersby respectfully step around her. Nearby, a clever striped fellow scales a three-story building to visit a human friend in her apartment. At an outdoor flea market across town, young and old cats alike sleep amongst the wares. The camera pans along the port and cranes up over the gorgeous Golden Horn, revealing the massive labyrinth of a city. This is Kedi, a new documentary on the street cats of Istanbul from director Ceyda Torun, and it is awe-inspiring. We follow the seemingly ordinary lives of various cats who live throughout the sprawling Turkish metropolis on the sea. From a rather

Week of March 29th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) The dragon that stole your treasure will return it. Tulips and snapdragons will blossom in a field you thought was a wasteland. Gargoyles from the abyss will crawl into view, but then meekly lick your hand and reveal secrets you can really use. The dour troll that guards the bridge to the Next Big Thing will let you pass even though you don’t have the password. APRIL FOOL! Everything I just described is only metaphorically true, not literally.
you boost that output by at least ten percent. Try to engage your best companion in four minutes and 24 seconds of intimate talk per day. APRIL FOOL! I lied. A ten-percent increase isn’t nearly enough. Given the current astrological indicators, you must seek out longer and deeper exchanges with the people you love. Can you manage 20 minutes per day?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In a way, it’s too bad you’re about to lose your mind. The chaos that ensues will be a TAURUS (April 20-May 20) According to legend, big chore to clean up.

And that some of But they’ll most likely come from allies and inner your pleasurable diversions seem to bother people you prompts rather than a diabolical adversary. care about? You say it’s too much hassle to arrange for a GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Since I expect you’ll soon be tempted to indulge in too much debauched fun and riotous release, I’ll offer you a good hangover remedy. Throw these ingredients into a blender, then drink up: a thousand-year-old quail egg from China, seaweed from Antarctica, milk from an Iraqi donkey, lemon juice imported from Kazakhstan, and a dab of Argentinian toothpaste on which the moon has shone for an hour. APRIL FOOL! I deceived you. You won’t have to get crazy drunk or stoned to enjoy extreme pleasure and cathartic abandon. It will come to you quite naturally— especially if you expand your mind through travel, big ideas, or healthy experiments. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Hire a promoter to create gold plaques listing your accomplishments and hang them up in public places. Or pay someone to make a thousand bobble-head dolls in your likeness, each wearing a royal crown, and give them away to everyone you know. Or enlist a pilot to fly a small plane over a sporting event while trailing a banner that reads, “[Your name] is a gorgeous genius worthy of worshipful reverence.” APRIL FOOL! What I just advised was a distorted interpretation of the cosmic omens. Here’s the truth: The best way to celebrate your surging power is not by reveling in frivolous displays of pride, but rather by making a bold move that will render a fantastic dream ten percent more possible for you to accomplish.
certain adventure that you know would be exciting and meaningful? Here’s what I have to say about all that: Stop whining. APRIL FOOL! I lied. The truth is, there will soon be far fewer reasons for you to whine. The discrepancies between what you have to do and what you want to do will at least partially dissolve. So will the gaps between what’s good for you and what feels good, and between what pleases others and what pleases you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You should begin work on a book with one of the following titles, and you should finish writing it no later than April 28: “The Totally Intense Four Weeks of My Life When I Came All the Way Home”… “The Wildly Productive Four Weeks of My Life when I Discovered the Ultimate Secrets of Domestic Bliss”… “The Crazily Meaningful Four Weeks When I Permanently Anchored Myself in the Nourishing Depths.” APRIL FOOL! I lied. There’s no need to actually write a book like that. But I do hope you seek out and generate experiences that would enable you to write books with those titles.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) If you were a passenger on a plane full of your favorite celebrities, and the pilot had to make an emergency landing on a remote snowbound mountain, and you had to eat one of the celebrities in order to stay alive until rescuers found you, which celebrity would you want to eat first? APRIL FOOL! That LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Endangered species: black rhino, was a really stupid and pointless question. I can’t believe Bornean orangutan, hawksbill turtle, South China tiger, I asked it. I hope you didn’t waste a nanosecond thinking Sumatran elephant, and the Leo messiah complex. You about what your reply might be. Here’s the truth, may not be able to do much to preserve the first five on Aquarius: You’re in a phase of your astrological cycle that list, but PLEASE get to work on saving the last. It’s when the single most important thing you can do is ask time for a massive eruption of your megalomania. APRIL and answer really good questions. FOOL! I was exaggerating for effect.
