LETTERS, DECEMBER 14: “ADIOS, COMPADRES”
TEMPEST-TOST? Sometimes, doing what one thinks is right comes with consequences. Whether one is willing to suffer those consequences is a measure of how much one values the issue at hand. Santa Fe is a diverse city in every possible way—racially, sexually, religiously, economically, ideologically, etc.—so, while we would not push you [Mr. Bender] away because of your views, we understand that, for you, too, values sometimes demand a price: in this case, losing the well-known pleasure of visiting Santa Fe. ... To your point about being law-abiding, however, I have to disagree that the law is the final measure. Surely there must be laws that you find to be in conflict with some of your most strongly-held convictions. Perhaps you are pro-life, and find it necessary to disagree with Roe v. Wade. Or, to use a less current and more universallyembraced example: Hitler’s reign of terror was legal according to German law, but morally reprehensible. ... Sometimes the way to move forward as a culture is for a whole lot of people to break an unjust law, and to pay the unjust
cost of doing so. That was the history of the Civil Rights movement, which most of us now recognize was deeply moral, while being unlawful. I commend you for having the courage of your convictions, and being willing to pay the price for honoring them, even though I disagree with them. Life is so hard for so many people, and we in Santa Fe are, as you have seen, so lucky to live here. Many of us think ... it would be ungrateful and inhospitable of us to turn away those who see Santa Fe as a place to pursue their dreams to have a decent living and a future for their children. Most of us were not born here. Though we may not have been “homeless [and] tempest-tost” before arriving, we know what a relief it is to finally find a welcoming home. It’s a feeling we’d like to share with those who most need it.

A Dickens of a Santa Fe BY ROBE RT B ASLE R bl uecorn@ s fre p o r te r.co m

hristmas in Santa Fe. Farolitos glowed on the rooftops. On the Plaza, a million lights punctuated the night, reminding us of all that is good in the season. But Ebenezer Scrooge was having none of it. On Christmas Eve, the old curmudgeon worked in his countinghouse. Scrooge had a small fire, and as it slowly died, he opened a drawer, retrieved a stack of holiday donation pleas from worthy charities, and chucked them into the stove. Glancing at the one on top, he said, “Santa Fe Animal Shelter? Bah! Humbug!” Suddenly, there was a clanking of chains behind him. He turned, and beheld Jacob Marley, his old business partner, seven years dead. “My time here is short, Ebenezer. You shall be visited by three ghosts tonight, the first at the stroke of midnight. Heed their words!” With that, Marley was gone. As Scrooge dropped a WilliamsSonoma catalog onto the flames, his old clock began to chime and there were claps of thunder. Perched in his window was a ghostly woman. A denim dress, cowboy boots and flaming red hair. “Bonnie Raitt?” Scrooge asked. “No, stupid. I am the Ghost of Christmas Past. Look into this Santa Fe snow globe. What do you see?” “That’s Dahlia, my former fiancée. She left me because I wouldn’t take her to Geronimo for our engagement. We went to Lotaburger, instead.” “Wow. You really were a dick, weren’t you? I’m outta here.” Four hours later, more thunder, some lightning, and a new ghost. Looked like the same woman, but with raven hair.
“Say, aren’t you…” “Yes, we had to save some money on the production. I’m the Ghost of Christmas Present. Look into the snow globe.” “That’s me, at Christmas dinner with my nephew’s family. There’s Tiny Tim on his crutches. His foot got caught in a cougar trap while he was hiking on public land. It‘s legal, in New Mexico…” “Can they do anything for Tim?” “His parents should’ve signed up for Obamacare.” “You’re still a dick, huh? See ya.” Three hours later. Some lightning. Same woman. Blond wig. “I am the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. Look into the snow globe. This is your funeral.” “But I see no one mourning. Not even that former mayor, who shows up at everything! Oh, apparition, can this be changed?” “Sure. Just stop being a dick!” Poof! She was vapor. Scrooge ran to the window, flung it open, and shouted, “Merry Christmas, one and all! Lad, here’s a farthing. Fetch me a fine, fat Tofurky! “Henceforth, I shall observe Christmas in my heart, every day!” Scrooge was better than his word. He not only paid for Tim’s foot operation, but he lobbied the State Legislature to ban trapping on public lands and to respect wildlife. Scrooge located Dahlia, married her, and they had their wedding reception at Geronimo. Tiny Tim himself gave the memorable toast: “Let’s make America great again!” Not what you were expecting him to say, was it?

THE END OF What happens in New Mexico under President Trump?
ILLUSTRATIONS BY ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN
T
he vision for America barked by Donald Trump on the campaign trail does not reflect our community’s values. Santa Fe County voters—80 percent of them— rejected him at the polls. Still, Trump will take the Oath of Office next month, securing control of the White House, Border Patrol and thousands of nukes. His administration will enact policies that will almost certainly leave deep impressions on our city and across New Mexico. We took a look at some of the president-elect’s campaign promises and how they could play out here.
HEALTHCARE On the campaign trail, candidate Trump promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare. Like rants against Islam and political correctness, attacking the law became one of his most reliable applause lines at rallies. The president-elect has since softened his position on healthcare, promising to keep some of Obamacare’s most popular provisions. Still, Trump wants to abolish the individual mandate, an integral piece of the hocus-pocus designed to keep rates low. His pick for the Department of Health and Human Services, US Rep. Tom Price from Georgia, is an outspoken opponent of Obamacare. And with the help of a Republican Congress, he could dismantle the Medicaid expansion, the most substantive provision of Obama’s signature healthcare policy. Nearly 300,000 New Mexicans started receiving Medicaid in 2014, cutting the state’s uninsured rate in half, after legislators voted to expand coverage. Obamacare opened up billions of federal dollars to help the state insure low-income citizens. Gov. Susana Martinez supported the effort, one of the first Republican leaders to buck the party line on the policy. With the state in financial straits, Medicaid already faces cuts. Trump’s proposals could ax the system. He supports block grants, a program pushed by Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, which would create a set amount of federal dollars available to each state. That would almost certainly cut coverage for New Mexico, says Sireesha Manne, supervising healthcare attorney for the New Mexico Center of Law and Poverty. Our state could show, shall we say, tremendous leadership to prevent that from happening. “Our governor has an opportunity to be out in front and protect healthcare in our state,” Manne says.

EVERYTHING DRUG POLICY
Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions recently said, “Good people don’t smoke marijuana.” Back in the ’80s, when he was a federal prosecutor, Sessions “joked” that he had no problem with the Ku Klux Klan until he found out they used pot. In Congress, he was one of the most vocal opponents of a bipartisan proposal to reduce sentencing for low-level offenders. His rhetoric often harkens back to the Reagan-era War on Drugs. IMMIGRATION So when Trump selected Sessions to be his Trump kicked off his campaign sowing fear of Mexiattorney general, a chill swept across the movecan immigrants, labeling them criminals and rapists. ments for marijuana legalization and criminal And he didn’t slow down from there.

(SH) actually tie to local policies. Still, Santa Fe, a sanctuary city, has not taken Trump’s threats lying down. City councilors, working with Somos Un Pueblo Unido, last week introduced a resolution that strengthens the city’s immigrant policies. Among other provisions, the proposal would ban all city employees from inquiring about people’s immigration status and require police officers to process special visas for undocumented immigrants who are victims of crimes and are willing to cooperate in investigations. Mayor Javier Gonzales has become a national spokesman for the sanctuary movement, giving interviews to Fox News, CNN, NPR, Rolling Stone and Vice News. Gonzales’ media tour follows a strong tradition in New Mexico for protecting immigrants, says Marcela Diaz, executive director of Somos Un Pueblo Unido. She tells SFR, “The mayor is doing something we expect from our leaders. He’s just following in those footsteps.” (SH)

NEWS LGBTQ RIGHTS Our self-proclaimed “traditionalist” presi president-elect has been wishy-washy on LGBTQ rights. Despite having “so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay,” Trump op opposes nationwide marriage equality, saying that should be left up to the states. As for North Carolina’s anti-trans “bathroom bill”? Leave it up to the states. Trump says he wants to appoint new Supreme Court justices who reflect the views of the late Antonin Scalia, who was a severely anti-
LGBTQ justice. Vice President-elect Mike Pence is a career enemy of the LGBTQ community. As a congressman, he opposed marriage equality and laws that would prevent discrimination against LGBTQ individuals, once saying that same-sex relationships are a sign of “societal collapse.” He advocated for diverting federal HIV/AIDS funds away from organizations “that celebrate and encourage the types of behaviors that facilitate the spreading of the HIV virus.” As governor of Indiana, Pence signed a “religious freedom” law that allows
businesses to discriminate against LGBTQ people. Local activist Lin Bartucca is a longtime advocate for human rights. She marched in 1993 for gay, lesbian and bisexual rights in Washington DC. “Right now is not the time for us to sit back and watch,” she says. “We need to get out there and be active and proactive.” Bartucca is a firm believer in peaceful protests and plans to attend the Women’s March on Washington the day after Trump’s inauguration. “Let our voices be heard,” Bartucca tells SFR. “Attend rallies and push back.” (Kim Jones)
ENVIRONMENT
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH Women who get abortions should receive “some sort of punishment,” said Donald Trump during an interview on MSNBC this March. More recently, the president-elect’s transition team has promised to defund Planned Parenthood unless the healthcare organization halts the service. Such a move could restrict millions of women from accessing an array of services beyond abortion, from affordable contraception to regular cancer screenings. And as we mentioned earlier, Trump has also prioritized repealing or gutting the Affordable Care Act, which opened up access to birth control and prenatal care for millions. With Trump’s vow to appoint “pro-life” Supreme Court candidates, it’s not looking good for Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision that has been protecting women’s reproductive rights since 1973, according to Sarah Ghiorse, program director for the New Mexico Women’s Organization, an arm of the New Mexico Community Foundation. “We have to take a step back and recognize the message the Trump administration is conveying on how the United States of America values women and girls,” she says. Cutting services for women could have consequences for the state’s already abysmal numbers. New Mexico’s overall child wellbeing ranks 49th in the country, according to the Annie E Casey Foundation. Forty-five percent of single mothers in the state live in poverty and have no access to healthcare. Ghiorse wants to assure women who fear their services could be hampered that they are not alone. The New Mexico Women’s Organization is establishing “connection circles”—groups for advocacy and support—next year for the community to come together and discuss politics in a safe zone. (KJ)
Trump’s pro-business, anti-regulation approach spills into the environment department to foster the undoing of policies that promise to reduce carbon emissions, curtail the effects of climate change and preserve our land, air and water quality for future generations. “We’ll be fine with the environment,” Trump insisted, speaking on Fox News in 2015, “but you can’t destroy business.” His cabinet appointees, multiple climate change deniers among them, give some sense of the lay of the land here. Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, who is tapped to head the Environmental Protection Agency, has repeatedly sued the EPA to block implementation of new regulations. Trump picked former Texas governor Rick Perry to head the Department of Energy, the very same department he said he’d abolish when he ran for president in 2012. “Putting Scott Pruitt in charge of the EPA is like putting Darth Vader in charge of the Rebel Alliance,” Sierra Club Executive Director Michael Brune said in a statement. The Sierra Club has been mobilizing its members to call their senators to express their opposition to these appointees. The pro-oil bastion—right down to ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson for Secretary of State—means we’re unlikely to see an end to the federal oil and gas leasing program. WildEarth Guardians is similarly unlikely to back down from their ongoing campaign to stop issuing those leases. Efforts to curtail climate change-causing emissions like the Clean Power Plan and the rule on methane emissions from oil wells recently finalized by the US Bureau of Land Management have already been challenged in court. If upheld, congressional legislation could block those rules, or the EPA could extend leniency in enforcing them. If there’s hope, it’s that some of these measures are expected to boost the economy, and Perry isn’t unfamiliar with that. Under his leadership, Texas increased its renewable energy standard and funding to research and develop wind energy. The Union of Concerned Scientists estimated that just in New Mexico, the Clean Power Plan could spark more than $2.7 billion in capital investments. (Elizabeth Miller)

PUBLIC LANDS When the Republican National Committee put forward the sale of federally owned public lands as part of their platform for 2016, the issue prompted Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Montana) to resign as a delegate for the national convention. He has, however, voted for a bill that mapped out what some legal analysts saw as a pilot program for moving federal lands management to states. Economic analyses of state ownership caution that the move would saddle states with expenses they can’t afford, prompting the auction of those lands to the highest bidder—likely oil, gas and other natural resource-based industries. The matrix presents a befuddling future for our public lands with Zinke tapped for Secretary of the Interior, charged with overseeing them as well as their minerals and endangered species. In New Mexico, more state management would likely see more access for extractive industries, our public land commissioner Aubrey Dunn having recently spoken to the American Legislative Exchange Council about his work to secure 6 million more acres at no cost to the state. Expect ongoing legal challenges to federal leasing programs from the likes of the Western Environmental Law Center, the executive director of which called Zinke a “dirty energy advocate through and through.” (EM)

Rather than rehashing the rehashed top stories, we’ve trimmed our tree by looking ahead. Better than that vow to return to jogging or eat more salad or read more books or use less social media, getting a new job can be one of the best ways to sharpen one’s focus. And even though New
Mexico’s unemployment rate is floating just one spot above the nation’s rock bottom, we found plenty of people with exciting career changes to share with the community. From the arts to the halls of power and back around to the animal shelter, the film industry and the culinary scene, here are Santa Feans with new roles, new challenges, new opportunities and new hope for the new year. Plus, there’s a look at some certain uncertainty on the last page. Thanks for spending the year with us. Let’s do it again! (Julie Ann Grimm) CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Most memorably, he reported from the Roundhouse for the Associated Press for about 10 years. “That was the best time in my life,” he says. After leaving

ep. Brian Egolf, the newly elected Democratic Speaker of the House, will start 2017 touring some of the state’s Republican strongholds, closing his mouth and opening his ears. The listening tour—which kicked off Dec. 17 with a stop in Las Cruces, and will see members of the Democratic caucus spending time in Clovis, Carlsbad, Roswell and Hobbs—is aimed at taking in good ideas from leaders all over the state. That’s part of a shift in focus for Egolf, a Santa Fe-area representative laywer who has served for eight years. He transitions this year from minority leader to speaker, a change that he says will require him to think more broadly about issues facing New Mexico. “It becomes not necessarily [about] advancing my agenda but advancing an agenda that has broad support within the chamber,” he tells SFR. “We are going to be focusing as much as possible on bipartisanship. Especially after the divisive campaign we just survived nationally, I don’t think people really have an appetite for a lot more division and rancor, so I will do everything in my power to get input and ideas from the Republican Party.” Jobs and economic growth are

expected to take top billing for legislators’ attention this year, he says, with a focus less on acquiring outposts from nationwide companies and more on nurturing homegrown businesses. Santa Fe Brewing Company’s recent expansion and added jobs are the example of what they’ll be aiming to build. Eyes are also on the “collateral damage” from the Trump administration. “We’ve already heard they want to block Medicaid, which could potentially be devastating to New Mexico’s poorest families, so that’s something we have to get ready for, to do everything in our power to protect,” he says. Women’s access to healthcare, and the subsequent control that provides over their economic lives, is also a point of focus. Meetings both he and incoming Senate Majority Leader Peter Wirth have held with the governor have opened line of communication he sees as “encouraging,” and he’s hopeful keeping that up will allow for legislation to move forward with her sign-off.

journalism, Moreno bounced from one gig to the next: lobbying, communications, analysis. Around this time last year, Moreno went to a house party for Liz Stefanics, a county commissioner gunning to snag back her state Senate seat. (She won.) “Almost immediately, it was like, ‘Hey Ed! You should run for Liz’ seat.’” It took Moreno about a week to warm up to the idea. “I thought, I have no job. I’m not looking for a job. But let’s go.” (He won.) Starting in January, Moreno will represent the county district directly south of the city, which includes Santa Fe Community College and the county jail. Moreno says his first priority will be overseeing the construction of two connecters near Oshara Village, between Rabbit Road and Richards Avenue, which aim to relieve motorists at one of the most congested spots in Santa Fe. Moreno also plans to push for more affordable housing and mental health services. “They’re painting, moving furniture around and now the last official meeting of the term is over. The transition is now in full steam,” he tells SFR. “I think I am getting ready for the big chair.” (Steven Hsieh)

Veterinarian Dr. Jennifer Steketee (here, with adoptable cat Midnight) has loads of experience in both the shelter world and in private veterinary practice.
Tighten up for the pups, says Animal Shelter’s new leader from within
I
n the early aughts, the Santa Fe Animal Shelter and Humane Society was a pretty basic operation, with a standard 60 percent live-release rate. In strides largely attributed to departing executive director Mary Martin, who held the position since 2009, that rate has climbed above 90 percent. It’s considered a “destination shelter” for folks all over the country who send donations and cross state lines just to
walk dogs, pet cats and feed guinea pigs at the Caja del Rio Road facility. When Martin announced her November departure to become director at Maricopa County Animal Care & Control in Phoenix, Arizona, the shelter’s medical director, Jennifer Steketee, stepped up into the ED role. Martin says she’s “thrilled” about Steketee’s appointment. “Jennifer cares very deeply about homeless animals,” Martin says, “and also about the team. She knows them all intimately, and she’s absolutely well-positioned to move the organization forward.” Steketee, an Oregon native who has lived in Santa Fe since 1997, is a veterinarian who’s experienced both in the shelter world and in private practice. She wants to tighten the operation’s finances, making it as efficient as possible while maintaining the high standard of care that Santa Feans have come to expect from the shelter. While caring for and adopting out animals is important, Steketee tells SFR, “one of the big trends in sheltering in general … is preventing animals from coming into the shelter in the first place. We need to understand what we can do to help animals stay in their homes. Can we provide behavioral help, can we supply medical help? We want to understand that human-animal bond and what we can do to support it.” (Charlotte Jusinski)

here’s something almost romantic about the way former Geronimo chef Eric DiStefano courted Sllin Cruz. DiStefano had been a fan of the food at Bouche, where Cruz was cooking, and one day he hollered to Cruz from the parking lot with a proposal: Come work with me. He was thrilled! To be asked to come work at the best-known, mostadmired restaurant in Santa Fe? It was a dream come true. The two became close and, as chef de cuisine, Cruz took on more and more responsibility at Geronimo as his boss’s health deteriorated. In
fact, owner Chris Harvey, DiStefano and Cruz had already discussed a succession plan. The elder chef was looking toward retirement and the three decided Cruz would eventually take over. When DiStefano died suddenly in February, eventually became right now. What was supposed to be a triumphant achievement suddenly felt bittersweet. And a lot more bitter than sweet. “Honestly, I was thinking I’d turn it down,” Cruz recalls. The moment didn’t feel right. It was too sad. “But [Harvey] said: ‘You earned this. You should do it.’ And I wanted to do it. I wanted to be the chef at Geronimo.” Ten months later, he’s comfortable in his new role and excited about the future. “Geronimo is an icon, so we have to give the clientele what they expect, but we’ll be changing the menu often, little by little,” he says. “I have to put my influence on the food and cook what I like.” What won’t change is what Cruz describes as DiStefano’s legacy. “Eric was a great human with an awesome heart,” he says. Working at his side, Cruz learned some about cooking but more about life and how to be a great chef. “A chef has to inspire the people around him, to treat them well. And never forget where you came from.” (Gwyneth Doland)

A familiar face in the New Mexico Senate has a new job title
S
enator Peter Wirth (D-Santa Fe) steps into a new leadership role as Senate Majority Leader when the state legislature starts in January. But much of what he’s bringing will be enjoying a repeat tour at the Roundhouse. He’s already pre-filled two bills: one to require outof-state corporations to pay gross receipts tax, and another to streamline the appeals process in certain court cases. He also expects to sponsor two campaign finance-related bills, one mandating super PACs to disclose their donors (he’s “cautiously optimistic” that one will pass this year), and one to change public financing statutes. Some of this legislation has repeatedly passed the Senate, but has not passed, or even been heard, in the House. Immediate attention will go toward plugging holes in the current year’s budget.

New Year New Job
Sen. Peter Wirth has a full plate as he becomes Senate Majority Leader, but the veteran lawmaker is not daunted by a big task (or two, or three, or many more than that).
“It’s going to require action right out of the gate,” he says. “So something I’ve not seen in prior 60-day sessions is a whole bunch of bills up front. That’s going to change this year.” Expect that early package of bills to try to address immediate budget shortfalls, and the ones to follow to piece together a “more sustainable budget” that, despite the governor’s avowals to avoid new taxes, closes some “loopholes.” “Going into this, I’m hopeful that we can all get at the table and make some really tough decisions and move forward from this kind of crisis du jour,” he says.

More than just sunsets lured Santa Fe Studios director of operations

new position is “very different, yet it is a part of the same environment” of his previous job at the National Association for Latino Independent Producers. Before Santa Fe Studios, Marin developed production-training programs at NALIP, a nonprofit that supports and promotes Latinos in the media. Marin needed a break from busy LA, preferring peaceful Santa Fe sunsets and New Mexican food. “Aside from the fact that I absolutely love Santa Fe— the views, the people the food, it’s just beautiful—I’m a producer, I love movies. I’m a good manager and I’m a great leader in production and the studio,“ he says. In 2017, Marin hopes to develop programs for aspiring filmmakers of all ages. He envisions weekend screenwriting retreats and filmmaking summer camps and says he hopes to start developing those within two to three months. The director of operations has the option of collaborating with NALIP to develop the programs, but Marin tells SFR, “If I were to do them here, I’d do it myself. Get a team, train people, create my programs and make them even better.“ Marin says he’s looking forward to instructing “the real-deal classes.” He tells SFR, “I have a strong background in training through NALIP and developing training programs for filmmakers, and I want to create that here.” (Kim Jones)

ecretary of Taxation and Revenue Demesia Padilla’s resignation last week amid an embezzlement investigation leaves open a coveted cabinet seat in Gov. Susana Martinez’ administration. Deputy Secretary John Monforte has taken over Padilla’s duties until the governor finds a permanent replacement. With news of Padilla stepping down, we took a moment to look at some other highprofile vacancies. The state’s Court of Appeals needs to fill two seats on its 10-member bench after the retirement of justices Roderick Kennedy and Michael Bustamante in recent months. Governor Martinez ultimately gets the authority to appoint their replacements, but must choose from a slate of candidates selected by a nominating commission. Santa Fe County is looking for a new warden to replace Mark Caldwell at the Adult Detention Facility. The county has so far received eight applications for the position, according to a review by SFR. The University of New Mexico will be searching for a new president after the resignation of the school’s embattled leader, Robert Frank. The board of regents gets to make the final call on his permanent replacement. In the long haul, Martinez leaves office in 2018—that is, unless she snags a job in the Trump administration and ducks out early, as the rumor mills have suggested might happen. Also reportedly under consideration for a gig under President Trump is Secretary of Education Hannah Skandera. So far, only one candidate has officially announced her candidacy to replace Martinez, US Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham. That news begs another question: who will replace Lujan Grisham as one of New Mexico’s three delegates in the House of Representatives? Looking inwards, SFR staff writer Elizabeth Miller is leaving her desk at the end of the year. She’ll be dedicating more time to covering environmental issues for a larger audience and will still author her bi-monthly column on our outdoors community (see page 20). Good luck, Elizabeth!

OpenSnow.com founder Joel Gratz is helping New Mexicans spot their next snow days BY E LI Z A B E TH M I L L E R e l i za b e t h @s frepo r ter.co m
W
hen meteorologist Joel Gratz first moved to Colorado, he found powder days sneaking up and sailing right by without him skiing them. “That made me mad,” he says. So he started using his meteorology knowledge and studying microclimates around the state to predict when and where snow would hit. “It’s a scratch-your-own-itch kind of deal,” he says of the research that became an email to friends, and then a blog—“because that seemed like the right thing to do to reach more people”—and finally the powderday predictor website OpenSnow.com. The site is now a go-to for skiing addicts all over the country, providing detailed narratives of the weather to come, at-a-glance forecasts that predict how many inches are likely to hit your local ski area and customized powder day alerts, as well as links to webcams and videos in case you need to torture yourself staring at all the fun you’re not having while fulfilling obligations at your desk job. This year, having lost his local forecaster to a job predicting weather for the Air Force, he’s taking the reins for New Mexico’s predictions and studying up as storms hit Taos, Red River, Angel Fire and Ski Santa Fe with varying doses. “Each mountain kind of has its own little forecasting tricks,” he says. “There’s no book that’s written about that. You’ve just got to forecast, observe, understand if you were right or wrong and why, then try again and again. … It’s just constantly looking at storm after storm and trying to figure out what differences exist due to a pattern that you can count on.” As in, did one mountain get 11 inches and another mountain 7 inches for reasons of geography that can be used to forecast what the next storm will bring? Wind direction and other mountain ranges in the area, elevation and aspect all affect how much snow falls and its density.

feet, score lighter snow. Ski Santa Fe, so far, seems to do well with wind from just about any direction, but he’s still studying how the Jemez might affect the snowfall here. “It’s fun for me to forecast a new area, because it feels like when I started in Colorado, right the cusp of trying to figure things out,” Gratz says. He pulls data from the European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts and the National Weather Service, merging it and, unlike your average ski area, rounding down. “We don’t like to get people excited to then dash their hopes, so I hate to show a forecast for 8 to 10 inches, then drop it down to 2 to 4 inches,” he says “We try to average things … to smooth out some of those peaks and valleys, to give a reasonable, if conservative, model.” Part of the trick is extrapolating, Joel Gratz missing absolutely none of the action in the Canadian Rockies. based on temperature and wind, just how much snowfall the precipitation With the temptation of Wolf Creek a beacon this predicted will produce. Computer models forecast the amount of liquid precipitation, year, as we have not-so-patiently waited for storms and 1 inch of liquid can produce somewhere between to reach New Mexico, we had to ask: What is it about 6 and 15 inches of snow. One of the difficulties in snow Wolf Creek that compels so many of us to drive three forecasting is sorting out which end of that spectrum hours north for some powder turns?

But what did the artists do when they were feeling punchy and wanted to challenge the establishment in an acute way? Printmaking, that’s what. “The prints give us a glimpse into the great experimentation that was going on,” says LewAllen Galleries associate Alex Gill. “They’re rough, unpolished. For that reason, the creative energy in these prints is even more distilled and powerful than the paintings that everyone knows.” This extensive collection of works on paper provides a rawness not seen in thicker pieces. (CJ)
The post X-mas world somehow goes on, this time in the form of a show from local rockers St. Range (formerly The Strange) at Cowgirl. The boys not only recently welcomed back their original keyboardist Mitchell Lacassagne, they’re also a few songs deep into writing and recording their newest album, according to front man Justin Lindsey. “We’re doing a lot more synth work and effects,” Lindsey says, “kind of modern psych mixed with our desert rock and surf stuff.” Since we love when a band evolves, and also anytime someone does “psych,” we’re pretty on board. “We like to start New Year’s Eve a bit early,” says drummer Braden Anderson. And now we’re double-down. (ADV)

SAGE FRANCIS ON INDIE LABELS, STUDIO VS. STAGE AND WHAT HE’S LEARNED FROM PUNK ROCK BY ALEX DE VORE alex@twitter
T
he rumblings began some time ago, but it didn’t emerge into a full-blown cacophony until the last month or so. What you’ve heard is true—hip-hop heavy-hitter Sage Francis is coming to Santa Fe. It isn’t that we don’t get our fair share of big-name hip-hop artists (hell, Atmosphere played The Bridge at Santa Fe Brewing Co. not so long ago), but even with that in mind you’ve gotta admit that Rhode Islandbased Sage Francis is a pretty big get for our town. He also falls under my “Man, this guy is so cool, but he’s probably too busy doing big-time interviews with bigname music magazines and websites to speak with me” category. But I emailed him anyway—and imagine my surprise when I received a response less than 20 minutes later. It basically went like this: Sage Francis: Hi Alex, Sage Francis here. Thanks for reaching out. Me: Oh sweet. The fast reply is like, so rad. That never happens. Sage Francis: I’m a rad motherfucker, Alex. MARK IT DOWN. And mark it down I did. See, I’m aware of this guy’s impact on popular culture and music. I mean, a lot of us are (and if you’re not, you should be). When I was working for a small record store in Northern California some years ago, we could barely keep Sage Francis on the shelf, and it’s partly because he’s got that rare combination of thoughtful, witty lyricism wrapped up in a kickass package of sick beats and a DIY work ethic, but also because he has this almost unholy understanding of the way the music business works. This allowed him to slowly build a name for himself without any kind of major label help, and it also gave him the chance to launch his own imprint, Strange Famous Records (like us, they go by SFR sometimes too so, like, we’re friends). Plenty of artists out there wind up self-releasing, but usually it’s after they’ve gone through the major-label wringer first. Sage Francis, however, was smart enough to start a label first and ask questions later. It’s been good for him, offering unique opportunities to discover and release music that speaks to him from an artistic standpoint rather than an economic one. It’s been good for underground hip-hop, too, because we don’t know if you guys have listened to radio rap of late, but it’s virtually unrecognizable by anyone who

COURTESY SAGE FRANCIS
likes taste’s definition of what is good. Strange Famous, on the other hand, is an important reminder of how the music industry can operate when the power is put in the hands of the people. And Sage Francis is a man of the people; a rad motherfucker, if you will. We should all be superpumped that he’s coming to town. SFR: I’ve read and heard and been reminded a lot about how your particular brand of hiphop shares a lot of similarities with punk rock, particularly in how you do business with your label, Strange Famous. Is punk rock something that has been a part of your life, either musically, ethically or both? SAGE FRANCIS: I grew up strictly a hip-hop head, but when I got to college I was introduced to the straightedge hardcore scene because I hung out with the kids who didn’t drink or smoke. Ha. Eventually they pushed their music on me. They brought me to shows and I did my best to get into the music, but what really inspired me was the sense of community and the DIY method of creating/releasing music. That was eye-opening. Eventually I did come to enjoy the music a lot, but I definitely attribute the meager beginnings of Strange Famous Records to what I learned from the punk world. It was an important lesson, because if I didn’t start releasing my music on my own when I did, I would have missed out on a lot. The internet wasn’t quite a thing yet, but when it was I was ready to go and I could finally reach outside of the New England area. Are there any other genres or ethics with which you particularly identify or aspire to uphold? I’m not sure. I’ve seen a lot from all different genres, but the business side of things is typically very similar. It all depends on what level the label and their artists are operating on. When my albums were released on Epitaph, that gave me a glimpse into how a large operation with funding likes to do things. That doesn’t work for everyone, and I don’t personally aspire to have a large, bureaucratic operation, but it was interesting seeing how it all went down. What worked, what didn’t, why, why not, all while the music industry was spiraling. What you learn one year doesn’t necessarily translate into the next. Not to harp on the punk rock thing, but are you listening to anything good from that world or do you tend to stick with a few genres (I read someplace once that you were really feeling Neil Young’s Harvest)? I tend to obsess over a few artists for several years at a time. I think I overdosed on Neil Young, but he’s still one of the people I go back to from time to time and can still enjoy. I went through my vinyl collection recently and put together a mix of more obscure music from all different genres. There’s also a punk rock mix [that] a 12-year-old kid gave me when I was in Australia, and I play it a few times a week. I don’t even know the bands that are on this CD, but it’s fun as hell (I just Googled the first song as it’s one of my
favorites. It’s “My Pal” by GOD).
else fucks up my stuff, I take out the voodoo doll.
Is there any artist on your own label that makes you think, “Everyone should be listening to this shit immediately!”? The bulk of the music I listen to is from artists on Strange Famous, because [it’s] what I’m working with at all times. I wish everyone was listening to them as often as I do. I’m doing my best to make that a reality, but I understand the limitations and restraints that are beyond my control. I mean, there’s no one I’ve toured with or worked with more than B Dolan over the years, and I still come across huge fans of mine who have never heard his music. Those kind of encounters always leave me feeling a bit deflated, and it’s a frustration everyone at Strange Famous probably feels, but all we can do is continue to put out the best shit possible and get into people’s ears without being cheap or spammy. It’s a tough line to walk.
Do you prefer working in the studio or performing? Why? The stage and the studio … the two-headed monster. My personal Demogorgon. I’m not sure if I prefer one more than the other. I feel like I enjoy myself more in the studio, but that’s because I spend wayyyyyy more time on stage than I do in the studio. If all I did was sit in a studio, I’d probably be itching like crazy to get on stage. The studio is where I get to indulge in the creative process and make everything exactly how I want it. I’m my audience. The stage is where you have to fly by the seat of your pants and go full extrovert. It’s for them. Two different worlds, but they work hand-in-hand.
I’m a rad motherfucker, Alex.
.
How do you evaluate potential artists for your label? There are several things we take into consideration. The two biggest things are if they’re great at what they do and if they’re genuinely good people. Genuine people. I might be a bit too particular sometimes, but if someone rubs me the wrong way as an artist or as a business partner, there’s no sense in me compromising my situation just to accommodate them. I’m as straightforward as possible and I make sure people know what they can expect from us as well as what we expect from them. I find it’s easier to work with people who’ve been around a while. People who’ve put out their own material and have a better understanding of what we’re providing as a label. I prefer to work with people who use social media wisely, who can tour and create promotional content, but that’s not totally necessary. Given the landscape of today’s music industry, do you ever regret going the independent route and starting up your own imprint? On one hand I wish I had more time and energy to focus solely on my art, but on the other hand I’m a control freak and I don’t want anybody touching my stuff. I like to know everything that’s going on and be responsible for it. If I fuck something up, I can deal with that. If someone
There’s so much collaboration in hip-hop. Is that something you enjoy and do you have a favorite collaborator or collaborators from over the years? Although I’ve collaborated with several people over the years, I’ve never had another emcee feature on any of my studio albums. I’m not totally sure why, but I tend to work alone as that’s what’s most comfortable for me. Also, I make a lot of confessional music and it just doesn’t feel natural to mix it with another person’s voice or experience. Maybe I’m just territorial when it comes to the mic. Whatever the case, I’ve spent a bulk of the past year working on a full album with B Dolan. This is the first time either of us have done something like this, so we’re learning as we go. It’s taking a lot longer than we expected, but the songs are shaping up incredibly well. I’m happy to say that I’m still excited about this Epic Beard Men project. It’s an idea we’ve been floating around for ages, and things like that tend to lose momentum if they’re not acted upon right away. Not this though. EBM, baby. 4-eva. You may not be aware (then again, you might be), but you’ll be one of the bigger acts to come through Santa Fe in … ever. That means you’re gonna have some sway, brah. Do you have any advice for people who are maybe going to discover the wide world of hip-hop now because of your upcoming appearance? I mean, it’s a labyrinth, y’know? Pfffffffft. Well, all I’m hoping is that cops don’t corner me in a hotel room with laser beams dancing around on my chest. Like what happened about 10 years ago during the Paid Dues tour. That’s my main memory of Santa Fe, and it was a harrowing experience, so let’s just make sure we all end up where we’re supposed to be. I’m also excited to be sharing the night with the new Strange Famous signees, Jivin’ Scientists. Let’s all be the right people at the right time. Sage Advice.

Jared Antonio-Justo Trujillo storms downtown Santa Fe with a diverse alliance of contemporary artists
COURTESY THE ARTIST
For Keeps BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart
I
t’s two weeks before the grand opening of Keep Contemporary, and artworks lean against every wall of the small, subterranean space on West San Francisco Street. Co-owner Jared AntonioJusto Trujillo is pacing around the gallery, examining works and chatting with a few artists who are lending a hand. “I’ve been here for two weeks working by myself,” says Trujillo. “I created the logo, I painted the walls, I literally went to every artist’s studio.” The artists have been dropping off work over the past few days, inspiring the local artist/curator to install some panels over the windows and expand the room’s wall space. Now for the moment of truth: Will everything fit? “Just wait for it!” Trujillo says. The work that’s already installed hangs in tight clusters, a salon-style display that’s both a practical solution and a philosophical statement. These artists hang together. Trujillo and his business partner, Tommy Borunda, recently teamed up to re-launch a flagging business venture. Borunda founded Designation Gallery in the same space last May, engaging an impressive line-up of contemporary Native artists. The project reached its peak in August, when the gallery presented a street art-inspired answer to the Santa Fe Indian Market. Then Borunda, who works as an artist and hair stylist in Albuquerque, got caught up in other projects down south. Designation’s doors were locked for the better part of the fall and winter. Enter Trujillo, a Santa Fe native who is the visual art curator at Jean Cocteau Cinema. When Borunda approached him, he jumped at the chance to inject some fresh energy into the downtown art scene. “We’re trying to do something great,” Trujillo says. “I think Santa Fe needs it. It’s a little tired in the art world.” Trujillo has a long history as a contemporary disruptor in otherwise staid corners of the scene. In 2008, he launched a gallery on Water Street called Private Collections. Four years later, he curated the critically acclaimed, pop art-inspired group exhibition Ferus at the now-closed Eggman & Walrus Art Emporium. He’s thrown multiple pop-up shows in between, building a vast network of local artists who have become frequent collaborators. The featured artists in Keep Contemporary’s grand opening show, Diamonds in the Street, set forth an eclectic, graffiti-inflected aesthetic that echoes the

exuberant energy of Designation Gallery. Nico Salazar, who collaborates with Meow Wolf and heads the design label Future Fantasy Delight, painted a mural near the front door in his densely patterned, blackand-white style. Octogenarian abstract expressionist Sergio Moyano contributed several large, energetic canvases to the show, despite the fact that he’s also prepping for a retrospective at Santa Fe Community College. Andrea Vargas-Mendoza offered up a gestural figurative drawing, and Meow Wolfer Dylan Palmer unleashed an army of his futuristic figurines in the space. In all, more than 20 artists—including Trujillo himself—will christen Keep Contemporary. “I’m working with Native guys, I’m working with white guys, I’m working with Chicanos, I’m working with old ladies, old men,” says Trujillo. “That’s what makes this town amazing.” The creations he plans to show are as diverse as the people. In addition to fine art, Trujillo will exhibit “high design” objects such as jewelry, t-shirts and skateboarding gear. “What I’ve learned curating throughout the years is that just having art is not going to cut it,” he says. “Let’s be realistic, a lot of people aren’t going to spend a couple thousand dollars on art, but they’ll buy a couple t-shirts to support the artists.” David Medrano, who goes by ArtistRX, is hanging around the gallery after dropping off a painting that will appear in the grand opening. Trujillo also
wants to show Medrano’s design and new media work in future Keep Contemporary shows. “I’ve shopped around in galleries in Santa Fe,” Medrano says. “I went and took my portfolio to different people, and they said, ‘This is great work, but this isn’t really what we show.’ I would have to change my persona as an artist, change what I’m creating, in order to display here.” Medrano usually introduces himself as a designer, but says he’s looking to shift back toward making things for himself rather than his clients. “You kind of forget about that whole way of showing your work or having a voice,” Trujillo says. Medrano nods and adds, “I’m trying to make it tip over the other way.” Thomas Christopher Haag, who exhibited in Trujillo’s Ferus show, has had better luck with the Santa Fe art establishment. “I’ve shown a few places on Canyon Road, but it didn’t seem like any of the artists had a really close relationship with the owners,” says the Albuquerque artist. He sees Keep Contemporary as a very different enterprise. “It’s a really talented group of people. What Jared’s really mindful of is keeping it almost family-like. He wants artists who can hang out together, and he’s open for suggestions. We all talked about the name and design for the gallery.” “I think that this whole idea that, ‘I’m the elitist gallery director and you’re below me as an artist,’ that’s dumb,” says Trujillo. “You wouldn’t exist without me, and I wouldn’t exist without you. For me to know both sides of the track, I think it’s important.” Trujillo is 41, and has intermittently lived in Santa Fe throughout his life. He’s seen the ebb and flow of self-starting creativity in the City Different. “I’ve seen downtown go from a really, cool, funky, eccentric, place to being just like Beverly Hills,” he says. “I’m trying to create a spot where people are creating really original, raw, honest work. We’re bringing back the idea that being creative is what makes Santa Fe so culturally rich.” DIAMONDS IN THE STREET OPENING RECEPTION 5 pm Friday Dec. 23. Free.

THE CALENDAR
-er I’m having an issue with my boyfriend, and I don’t know if I am the crazy, paranoid, controlling party here. We have been together for more than a year and a half. We had troubles early on because he has a low sex drive. It made me very insecure, and I think that’s why, at the time, I became extremely jealous of his friendship with his very attractive intern. I fully owned up to my irrational jealousy and decided on my own that it was my responsibility to overcome that. She eventually stopped working with him, and they haven’t been in contact for over sex months. Fast-forward to the present. On Monday night, I asked my boyfriend what his plans were on Tuesday. (I am studying for law school exams, so I knew I wouldn’t have time to spend with him.) Around 8:30 on Tuesday, he texted me and asked how studying was going, and I asked him again what his plans were. He told me he was going to meet an “old coworker” at a bar for birthday drinks. I didn’t think twice about it. Then, around 11:30 when I got in bed to relax, I saw on my Instagram feed that his old intern posted a photo of her birthday party at the bar. I became extremely upset, because instead of being up front and saying he was meeting HER for her birthday, he was intentionally ambiguous. I confronted him when he got home, and he admitted to being ambiguous to avoid a “freak-out.” I told him that if he’d been up front with me, I would have been jealous but I would have also been mindful of my toxic feelings and not projected them onto him. I told him that as a result of how he handled it, I feel worse, I feel lied to, and I feel insecure. He acted like I was being ridiculous. He insisted it was a lastminute invite and he didn’t want to cause any drama. We went to sleep, and I woke up feeling pretty much over it. But when he got into the shower, I looked at his phone and saw that she had actually invited him on Monday afternoon. So he lied to me when I asked him what his plans were on Tuesday, and he lied to me again when he said it was a last-minute invite. I am not upset with him for getting drinks with her—most of his friends are female and I NEVER feel jealous about them. I have a weird tic about this girl, though, and I’ve owned up to it. I don’t want to control him, but I feel like I can’t trust him now. Up until now, I’ve never once suspected him of being dishonest. -Am I Crazy?
white lie once in a while. If you want your relationship to last, AIC, you roll your eyes at the odd HSSW lie and move on. If you want your relationship to end, you do exactly what you’re doing. If your boyfriend hasn’t given you some other reason(s) to believe he’s cheating with his ex-intern or anyone else, AIC, drop the Tuesday night/birthday drinks subject. I would also advise you to apologize to your boyfriend for having “looked at his phone” while he was in the shower, which is both an asshole move and, yes, a sign that you might be the crazy, paranoid, and controlling one in this relationship. And for the sake of your relationship—for the sake of fuck—stop following the ex-intern on Instagram. Finally, AIC, you mention mismatched sex drives. As several commenters pointed out on my blog, where your letter appeared as the Savage Love Letter of the Day, mismatched sex drives are usually a bad sign. You talk about the libido issue in the past tense, so perhaps it’s not a problem anymore. But if the problem was resolved in a way that left you feeling neglected, insecure, and frustrated, it wasn’t resolved and it constitutes a much bigger threat to your relationship than that ex-intern. I’m a 35-year-old man in a serious relationship—the best I’ve ever been in—with a girl I’ll likely marry. I’m happy with monogamy, aside from one aspect: I have a foot fetish that’s getting stronger with age and I can’t bear the thought of never sucking another girl’s toes again. I should note that my girlfriend is more than happy to shove her feet in my mouth, but I fantasize almost constantly about other women’s feet. I’m tempted to find paid foot-girls, something I’ve done in the past but never while in a relationship. But that would be cheating, right? I don’t think I can bring myself to ask for my girlfriend’s blessing, and I’d be shocked if she offered it. What do I do? -Fear Of Missing Out On Feet You bring yourself to ask, FOMOOF, even if you have to drag your ass there. If your girlfriend is sex-positive—if she’s not just shoving her feet in your mouth to shut you up—initiate conversations about your kinks (and hers), your sexual history (and hers), and sexual adventures you might want to have with her in the future (and ones she might want to have with you). If she’s curious and interested and upbeat during these convos and about your kinks, suggest going to a foot fetish party together—one where you can suck other women’s toes and other men can suck hers.
Sex months? Interesting typo. There’s another way to read your boyfriend’s ambiguity/obfuscation/dishonesty about Tuesday night: equal parts considerate and selfserving. Your boyfriend knew you had to study, he knew his ex-intern is a sore subject/weird tic, and by opting for ambiguity he allowed you to focus on your studies. So that was maybekindasorta considerate of him. And since one person’s “mindful of my toxic feelings” and “handling it” is another person’s “freak-out” and “invasion of privacy,” AIC, your boyfriend opted for ambiguousness/deceit-by-omission to avoid drama. And perhaps that was selfserving of him. Want to prove to your boyfriend that he didn’t need to lie to you about spending time with his ex-intern? Retroactively bestow your blessing on Tuesday night’s birthday drinks and stop raking him over the fucking coals for his thoroughly explicable actions. (They’re so explicable, I just explicked the shit out of them.) Yes, he lied to you. But unless you’re made of marshmallow fluff and unicorn farts, AIC, you’ve lied to him once or twice over the last year and a half. Even the “most honest” people on earth tell the odd harmless, self-serving

I’m a man who is sexually attracted to trans women. I’ve been told that if I’m attracted to women, it shouldn’t matter what genitals they have. I’ve also been told that if I like penis, it shouldn’t matter if the owner presents as male or female. Am I unfairly fetishizing trans women? -Gain Understanding Into Loving Trans You’re attracted to women, GUILT, some women have penises, and you find penis-having women particularly attractive. If you’re not attracted to men with penises and you’re not attracted to men like Buck Angel, i.e., trans men with vaginas, then you’re not attracted to men generally, cock or no cock. So long as you can state your preferences in a way that doesn’t dehumanize the people you are attracted to or denigrate the people you aren’t attracted to, GUILT, you have nothing to feel self-conscious or guilty about.

Earlier this month, we recorded our Savage Lovecast Christmas Spectacular live at Revolution Hall in Portland, Oregon. The audience submitted questions on tiny cards before the show, which allowed questioners to remain anonymous and forced them to be succinct. More questions were submitted than my guests and I could get to, so I promised the crowd I would answer as many of their unanswered questions as I could in this week’s column. Here we go… I’ve heard so many horror stories and seen countless X-rays online—any tips for making sure I don’t lose any objects in my ass? You know what you never see in those X-rays? Butt plugs and other toys designed for butt play. Stick to butt plugs with flared bases, dildos with bases that look like balls, orange traffic cones, etc., and you’ll be fine. How common is it really for women to squirt? I get conflicting reports. This answer, courtesy of the Kinsey Institute, isn’t likely to satisfy you: “Somewhere from 10 to 54 percent of women experience some type of fluid expulsion in tandem with sexual arousal and orgasm.” Maybe the incoming Trump administration can put the scientists they’re pulling off climate change onto female ejaculation and we’ll have better numbers before the 2018 midterm elections. How do I get my partner—who says he’s into it—to top me “properly,” i.e., work me into a sub space instead of him just melting into an ooey-gooey love ball? There are lots of terrific pro doms in Portland, Oregon. Hire one who’s up for showing your partner what proper topping looks like. Trans man and cis female, happily married, planning to get pregnant in the next five months. How do we break it to my wife’s family? Half of them don’t know I’m trans and will be carrying, and we don’t want to lie, but also we don’t want them to see us as anything other than just a couple. Telling your partner’s family you’re trans isn’t going to decouple you. You’ll still be “just a couple,” it’s just that one of you is trans. Since you’re not going to be able to hide which one of you is pregnant—not in the Twitter/Instagram/Facebook era—the sooner you tell them, the sooner they’ll have their freak-outs, and the sooner they’ll return to seeing you as the couple you always were and still are. My partner/husband of 40 years says I still embarrass him. Is this unusual? If he says it affectionately and occasionally, it’s not a problem and it’s not unusual. If he says it to degrade/humiliate/control you, it’s a problem and it’s unacceptable. How do white people talk to black people about Donald Trump? Fifty-eight percent of white people voted for Trump, and 8 percent of black people voted for Trump. So yeah, maybe instead of talking to black people about Trump, white people should shut up and listen to black people instead? “Hall passes” don’t work for many women because they can’t orgasm when having random sex once with a random guy. What alternative would you recommend? Where is it written on your hall pass—or anyone else’s—that it can be used only with complete strangers? Nowhere, that’s where. How do you propose a foursome with your longtime friends without freaking them out or ruining the friendship?
Not proposing the foursome is the only way to avoid potentially freaking your friends out and ruining the friendship. How do you decide who wins an argument in a same-sex relationship? A sudden-death round of Golden Girls trivia. All straight guys want to put it in your butt, but when you suggest eating it first, they run for the hills. How can I bridge this gap and get my ass eaten? Date gay guys. How do I avoid lesbian bed death? Date gay guys. I’m in a FMF poly triad, and I’m looking to incorporate another guy into the mix. I’d look online, but I’m a public-school teacher in a small town. How do I find someone without outing myself and risking my career? Ask your partners to do the headhunting. If you’re married and in an open relationship, do you need to include that info in your Tinder profile? Or can you wait until later? You should include/disclose that info in your profile (best practice), but many similarly situated men choose to wait until later (understandable practice, considering the stigma). But the existence of a spouse must be disclosed sometime between the end of the first text exchange and the start of the first blowjob. My wife goes on long runs with her girlfriend. I’m sure they are having sex in the woods. I’m jealous because I’m not getting enough. What should I do? Get your own “running” partner. I’m four months pregnant. My husband won’t stop talking about how excited he is to taste my breast milk. I said he could try it from a bottle, but he wants it from the source. I want to be GGG, but this weirds me out. Tell your husband you’re going to table this topic for the time being. It’s possible you’ll be less weirded out by the idea once you’re actually breast-feeding, or the opposite is also a possibility. But pestering you about it for the next five months isn’t going to increase his chances of getting it from the source—quite the opposite. (And for the record: You can be GGG and still have hard limits/absolutely nots.) I’m a 25-year-old gay man who doesn’t resonate with hookup culture. If I’m not comfortable fucking right away, how can I compete/ find a partner? I get your question all the time—which means you’re not alone. Be up front about what you are willing to do (fuck after a getting-to-knowyou date or two) and what you are not willing to do (fuck after a “sup?” or two), and you’ll scare off the wrong-for-you boys and attract the right-for-you boys. I’m too broken. I don’t know where to start. Therapy. Not a question, but a thank-you for helping me to undo my “Utah damage.” Grateful for you, Dan! Merry Xmas! You’re welcome, former Utahan, a belated Merry Xmess to you, and a happy/watchful/ politically-engaged/join-the-resistance New Year to all! mail@savagelove.net @fakedansavage on Twitter

As the year wound down, a horrifying thought occurred to me—I had never straight-up interviewed musician Andy Primm. What?! I know! He’s basically a legend. As such, I decided that Primm’s upcoming New Year’s Eve show with his band Chango (8:30 pm Saturday Dec. 31. Free. Cowgirl, 319 S Guadalupe St., 982-2565) was the perfect cover to ask a few Qs and get a few As. And then I forgot to ask about the band. Oops. Still, though, he cool. (Alex De Vore) So. What’s been going on with you? This year has been very interesting. I’ve added this new component of dance. I did a modern performance in July, and since then I’ve gotten kind of addicted to studying ballet. It appeals to me in lot of artistc ways; it reminds me of learning the drums. It’s been gratifying. And how was the rest of the year? Good! There have been a ton of changes and a lot of high points. The Prince tribute show was amazing. Co-directing the Melodrama at the Santa Fe Playhouse— just being a part of the Playhouse is something I’m really proud of. The core has been the video work I do; working with SITE Santa Fe; I’m still teaching drums at The Candyman. There’s this thing where you think by the time you’re an adult you’ll figure it all out, and I’m just starting to get a clue. ... I hope to be a late bloomer and I don’t see the peak of anything I’m doing just yet. Are you the kind of guy who makes New Year’s resolutions? What are you going to resolve to do in 2017? I have in the past. I don’t know. There’s been talk of doing a heavy-metal Swan Lake, but it’s incubating still. It’s a big thing to come up with a project like that, and usually I have the honor of being brought on to something already happening. I wonder what would happen if I was just like, ‘OK, here’s a metal Swan Lake or a muscial version of Beverly Hills Cop.’

Anastasio Wrobel’s Non-Binary Coloring Book differs from the hordes of other such projects currently on the market.
A Non-Binary Experience Anastasio Wrobel remixes our concept of gender
D
BY JC GONZO
iverging from the traditional coloring book mold, The Non-Binary Coloring Book challenges the notion of coloring within the lines both figuratively and literally. As one begins to shade and accent, lines converge and overlap, becoming a form-meets-function examination of norms and breaking them. “Where do you start coloring, where do you stop coloring, where do you draw the line?” author and illustrator Anastasio Wrobel asks. “This partly started as an anti-coloring book, because many coloring books available are geared toward therapeutic sessions and the quelling of oneself; that never interested me.”
The Non-Binary Coloring Book has more in common with queer and punk zines than with the recent rash of adult coloring books. “I want to see myself, to see my community, and images that were out of the ordinary,” Wrobel says. “To me that’s the umbrella of ‘non-binary,’ a term I sometimes use to include anyone who disidentifies from the societal standard.” “Disidentify,” “In Flux,” and “We Defy” are just a few phrases and terms proclaiming non-conformity and gender neutrality encountered in Wrobel’s 42-page interactive expression of gender transcendence. It initially began as a project to familiarize and educate others on the complex and fluid spectrum of identity that lies between male and female. Wrobel uses “they/them” pronouns. “I am misgendered everyday,” they say. “I’ve fought very hard for others to use my pronouns and, for the most part, have found some form of success, but I realized from this that there is so much work to be done, so I started generating text around this.” After becoming disillusioned with this process, Wrobel chose to shift
their audience. “My intention was to create visibility for the trans, non-conformist, queer, gender-fuck community; to make something explicitly for us,” they tell SFR. “If it extends to those beyond that community, that’s great.” A multi-disciplined artist, Wrobel describes their process at times as “remixing” creative flows that include photography, poetry, painting and collage. Santa Fe born and raised, they recently spent nearly a decade in Seattle and New York City, studying arts and operating under the moniker aung.robo. “What really solidified the fusion of poetry, theory, and art-making was gender; an all-encompassing topic I focus on,” they say. “The necessity of written work to fuel the visual work, then being able to flip it around and read a passage of theory and paint something based on it.” An interest in abstraction and surrealism is evident as form itself is questioned on every page. The shapes of faces, body parts, and even other species chaotically meld in a whimsical fashion. Wrobel’s visual representation of the non-binary is not out of negation nor opposition, but rather, boundlessness and opportunity. Aesthetically, this was a bold move for Wrobel, who typically works as an abstract and figurative painter. “Illustration and ink were completely out of my realm,” they say. “When I came out as transgender, I realized I could remake everything for us, for my community.” There are no clear-cut definitions or descriptions of what each term means, varying from the specific representation of a group to general self-empowerment. This is not a guide, but an engaging representation and celebration of diversity. You can purchase this 42-single-sided-page coloring book from the artist directly. Its upcoming third printing, which is limited to 100 copies, features a hand-printed silkscreened cover. Go to aungrobo.us/nbcb for a copy.

H
ere are some festive ideas to liven up your holiday parties, keep you warm around the bonfire—and numb the pain of spending time with your “loved ones.”
Santa Fe Coffee I’m not a fan of flavored coffee, even the piñon-flavored coffee that is so popular here. But this is a different thing altogether. Santa Fe Spirits’ Atapiño liqueur has all the positive elements of piñon flavor with no drawbacks. It’s made by steeping whiskey with freshly roasted piñon nuts for two months. And it works. Blended with fresh coffee, it’s a winner for breakfast (right?!) and as an after-dinner drink. Makes 1 · 1 cup hot coffee · 1 ½ ounces Atapiño · 1 tablespoon brown sugar · Whipped cream Pour the coffee and liqueur into a mug, add the sugar and stir until it’s dissolved. Top with whipped cream. (If you’re lazy, just stir the cream into the coffee.)
Boxcar’s Hot Chata Boxcar (530 S Guadalupe St., 988-7222) always has fun cocktails on the menu, and here’s another great coffee drink that will keep you toasty all winter. For the uninitiated, RumChata is a cream liqueur made with rum and horchata. Makes 1 · 1 cup hot coffee · 2 ounces RumChata · Amaretto to taste · Whipped cream Pour the coffee and RumChata into a mug, stir and then add amaretto to taste. Start with a splash and work your way up. Garnish with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon if you’d like.

Reader Cyndi Brighton sent me this recipe for her signature holiday drink. “They are not too sweet or peppermint-y, but are so very good!” she says. Brighton finds Coole Swan at Susan’s Fine Wines and Spirits (1005 S St. Francis Drive, 984-1582) but recommends Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur as an acceptable substitute. I say go ahead and buy a big bottle of that peppermint schnapps. I love it in hot cocoa, too. · · · ·

Book ’Em Last-minute gifts for eaters and drinkers BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
R
unning late on holiday shopping? You still have time to pop into a bookstore and grab one of these books, among my favorites of 2016.
Cooking School: Mastering Classic and Modern French Cuisine ($35) by Alain Ducasse
Alain Ducasse is a French chef with more than a dozen restaurants in France, plus more in Monaco, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Doha, London and New York. He also has a cooking school in Paris, and that’s where this book comes in. Originally published in French in 2011, the language has been translated into English—if not the taste buds. So much foie gras! So many charlottes (molded cakes made with ladyfingers). But the directions are clear and thorough and there are photos to guide nearly every step. This is a great gift for an ambitious home cook who loves fancy French food and wants to learn to make it at home. Eataly: Contemporary Italian Cooking ($40) This is a huge compendium of recipes from the Italian food emporiums of the same name in New York, Chicago, Boston and soon, Los Angeles. These are recipes for dishes you’d be excited to see on a menu in Santa Fe: Fried polenta with lardo and truffle; pappardelle with cheese, pancetta and fava beans; sausage and cranberry bean risotto; five-spice beef with onion, orange and fennel sauce.
The food is fun, contemporary and mostly leans toward the healthy rather than the cheesy. It’ll make you want to cook and invite people over! Acorns & Cattails: A Modern Foraging Cookbook of Forest, Farm & Field ($35)
by Rob Connoley
When Connoley had his restaurant in Silver City, the Curious Kumquat, he was known for using ingredients he had foraged himself. The restaurant is now closed, but this beautifully photographed book expands on his repertoire of adventurous fare. Know a paleo eater with a restless palate? A committed forager with far-reaching tastes? This is for them. Imagine goat mole, Korean elk and braised javelina; cattail hummus with stinging nettle sauce, acorn croquettes and wild grass risotto. The pleasant surprise of the book is how many elegantly exotic desserts there are. Alton Brown: EveryDayCook ($35) by Alton Brown
I love Alton Brown’s enthusiasm, nerdiness and practicality. In this new book he emphasizes the practicality but still dorks out over science in a contagious way. He shares tons of advice about his favorite tools, ingredients and techniques. The recipes are arranged by time of day, which is weird but whatever. The recipes are great. Breakfast carbonara made with sausage? Salisbury steak? Cider house fondue, cocoa nib vinaigrette and “The General’s Fried Chicken?” Yes, please! Porn for food nerds. The Essential Oyster: A Salty Appreciation of Taste and Temptation ($35) by Rowan Jacobsen
With gorgeous close-ups of glistening bivalves, this encyclopedia of oysters is a
feast for the eyes. The book profiles more than 100 different types of American oysters, including tasting notes and engrossing stories about them and the people who raise, harvest and eat them. You might think: “Who needs recipes? I eat em right outta the shell!” But what about iced rosé mignonette? Eh? Gotcha there, huh? An elegant and unexpected gift for an oyster lover. But First, Champagne: A Modern Guide to the World’s Favorite Wine ($29.99) by David White, John Trinidad and Ray Isle
The first five chapters of this book provide a good history but the sixth is where it gets good: “The Grower Revolution.” Champagne has always been unusual among wine in that most of it was made by firms that bought grapes from many people and then made bubbly under their own label. The goal for most was to have one bottle taste reliably like the next, year after year. But the most exciting thing happening in sparkles right now is the stuff made by the people who grow the grapes on small estates. Funky, unique, full of terroir and surprises, grower Champagnes are where it’s at and they are given their due here. For the novice student of bubbly as well as the drinker who thinks she knows everything. Amaro: The Spirited World of Bittersweet, Herbal Liqueurs, with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas ($26) by Brad Thomas Parsons
Got a thirsty friend with an overcrowded bar? Know a wannabe hipster mixologist? Or just someone who loves the weird, bitter herbal liqueurs you hate? Show them you get them with this loving appreciation of bittersweet amaro, from Campari and Aperol to Cynar and Fernet Branca—then way, way past that into exotic, exciting things you’ve never heard of. With more than 100 cocktail recipes, plus directions for making your own and tips on using amaro in cooking.

Movies TO WATCH IN 2017 W
e here at SFR love going to the movies. Sure, television sneakily became the superior creative ecosystem, but there’s still magic to be had in going to a theater and enjoying Hollywood’s best (and worst) releases. Hold onto that idea and let’s take a quick look at the upcoming year in cinema. (Alex De Vore)
JANUARY HIDDEN FIGURES
Jan. 6, PG With Taraji P Henson, Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer
As the story of black, female mathematicians who helped John Glenn (RIP) orbit the mothereffing planet, this is another one of those, “Oh man, my history classes seriously sucked!” movies that will probably make a bunch of us cry. SLEEPLESS
Jan. 13, not yet rated (hopefully R, but probably PG-13) With Jamie Foxx
Foxx continues to systematically destroy his post-Ray goodwill as a Las Vegas cop who must take on the mob-run casinos to rescue his teenage son. We already saw Taken, but we have to admit there’s always something awesome about seeing a middle-aged dude go apeshit and kill everyone he comes across. Fingers crossed for that R rating.
FEBRUARY RINGS
Feb. 3, R With Vincent D’Onofrio, Johnny Galecki and Aimee Teegarden
Like some sort of poorly executed CGI deer, Rings gallops into our nightmares to continue the horror franchise’s reign of terror. Once again, that spooky videotape that gets people killed is, uh, getting people killed, but a woman discovers there’s another movie hidden within the movie and then we bet some other stuff happens. T2 TRAINSPOTTING
Feb. 10, R With Ewan McGregor, Johnny Lee Miller, Kelly Macdonald and Robert Carlyle
OK, what? Why is this happening? Well anyway, the original cast reunites to probably do heroin and be in a bunch of scenes that are like, “Remember when this thing happened the first time around? HERE WE GO AGAIN!” THE GREAT WALL
Feb. 17, PG-13 With Matt Damon, Willem Dafoe and Andy Lau
White dudes mysteriously affect Chinese history in this epic set during the construction of the Great Wall. Matt “Remember that time he said that weirdly racist thing to that poor black woman on TV” Damon stars as a mercenary who comes to town for the express purpose of shooting arrows at people.
XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE Jan. 20, R With Vin Diesel
YES! We don’t even care if this is stupid, we still like Vin Diesel because of The Iron Giant and we still like explosions because of explosions! Anyway, Xander Cage is back, apparently, and in his extreme-athlete-turned-spy fashion, he’ll take on an evil warrior who wields some terrifying superweapon. Sold!
48
MARCH LOGAN
March 3, R With Hugh Jackman, Stephan Merchant and Patrick Stewart
Jackman reportedly took a hefty pay cut to to encourage the movie studio to make Logan violent enough to need an R rating, and once again we’ll get more backstory about Wolverine and his gruff-yetlovable ways. If it’s anything like the
DECEMBER 21, 2016-JANUARY 3, 2017

T2 TRAINSPOTTING
That possibly, more than likely, without a doubt might perhaps be good, maybe
Alpha Flight comics from whence he came, he’ll probably just be stuck in a crevasse for 120 minutes while Caliban steals all of Canada’s maple syrup. POWER RANGERS
March 24, not yet rated (probably PG-13) With Elizabeth Banks, Bryan Cranston and a bunch of kids you’ve never heard of and who we’ll all forget about immediately after
The ’90s kid’s show about superpowered kung-fu teens with preposterous dinosaur-themed robot tanks gets the big screen/it’s-grittynow treatment and will surely result in bonkers action. Spoiler alert: We bet they win. GHOST IN THE SHELL
fast. Apparently there is a betrayal of some kind, too. THE CIRCLE
April 28, not yet rated (probably PG-13) With Emma Watson, Tom Hanks and John Boyega
Watson plays a young business dynamo who is advised by Hanks to live her life with transparency, but this might be hard or at least cause a conflict of some kind. Dave Eggers wrote the novel on which it’s based and worked on the script.
MAY GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
March 31, not yet rated (probably R) With Scarlett Johansson, Juliette Binoche and Michael Pitt
May 5, PG-13 With Chris Pratt, Karen Gillan, Zoe Saldana and Sylvester Stallone
Johansson stars in this whitewashed adaptation of the celebrated anime film about a super-soldier who can turn invisible sometimes and gets swept up in a series of events that result in a bunch of people getting beaten up, shot or both.
Starlord and company once again adventure on the edges of the Marvel Comics universe in this hotly anticipated sci-fi sequel starring Chris Pratt’s abs. We are oh-soexcited, especially for this one dude called Taserface.
APRIL
May 12, not yet rated (probably PG-13) With Charlie Hunnam, Katie McGrath and Jude Law
GOING IN STYLE
April 7, PG-13 With Christopher Lloyd, Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine
KING ARTHUR: LEGEND OF THE SWORD
Guy Ritchie (Snatch) walked into a pitch meeting somewhere and sold a movie about a wise-crackin’ streetwise Arthur who knows the underbelly of London and runs a gang. And the people who heard this were into it. Picture that when you start hearing about this movie. BAYWATCH
May 26, PG-13 With Dwayne Johnson, Alexandra Daddario and Zac Efron
Before you flip out about this, you should know some of the minds behind MTV’s brilliantly absurd ’90s sketch comedy troupe, The State, are behind the scenes. As far as we can tell, it’s basically like that 21 Jump Street reboot but with lifeguards.
JUNE WONDER WOMAN
June 2, PG-13 With Gal Gadot, Robin Wright and Chris Pine
The train wreck that was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was almost worth it thanks to Gadot’s badass portrayal of Diana Prince, so we’re actually kind of hoping this will also kick ass … y’know, so long as Jesse Eisenberg stays the hell out of it. Anyway, it’s about an Amazon
Zach Braff directs this tale of three old bastards who plan a heist and make cute little jokes about how aging sucks. We’d be worried if it weren’t for the stellar cast and, God help us, we actually love Zach Braff … Scrubs 4 Lyphe! FAST & FURIOUS 8
April 14, R With Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Charlize Theron
A bunch of dudes with big arms drive cars fast while Charlize Theron is like, “Thanks for the paycheck, suckers!” in the eighth installment in the series about dudes with big arms who drive cars
WONDER WOMAN
princess who leaves her home to Amazon-it-up out in the world. THE MUMMY
June 9, PG-13 With Tom Cruise, Sofia Boutella and Anabelle Wallis
Say what thou wilt about 1999’s The Mummy with Brendan Fraser—it was like getting a bonus (albeit extra-dumb) Indiana Jones movie. So, naturally, they’ve chosen to remake the thing with Tom “The Last Movie Star” Cruise who must fight a mummy who comes back to life and does mummy stuff. CARS 3
June 16, PG With the voice of Owen Wilson and surely some other people
A living car learns that other living cars are faster than him, but that he can probably also be faster. Pixar’s oh-so-adorable character design will continue to confound a generation of parents who just kind of wanted to see The Mummy.
JULY
heavy series. Seems like supergenius ape Caesar is still mad about not being seen as equal to humans, so he and his ape posse are going to go to war. DUNKIRK
July 21, PG-13 With Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance
Christopher Nolan directs this gripping tale of allied soldiers attempting to get the hell out of some harrowing battle during World War II.
AUGUST THE EMOJI MOVIE
August 4, not yet rated (probably PG) With the voices of TJ Miller, James Corden and Ilana Glazer
If you’re thinking, “Alex, I’m not pissed off enough today,” then don’t worry, because this is a kid’s movie about fucking emojis who live in a town called Textopolis inside your smartphone. WHY WAS THIS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?! BABY DRIVER
SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING
July 7, PG-13 With Tom Holland, Marisa Tomei and Michael Keaton
Marvel finally casts something properly to tell the tale of a nerdy young science dweeb who is instilled with the power of spiders. Looks like we can skip the origin story this time (thank goodness), but we’ll still see him try to learn how his powers work against Keaton as The Vulture. WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES
July 14, PG-13 With Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Judy Greer and Steve Zahn (whom my old roommate has a huge crush on)
The Apes movies keep on surprising us with how awesome it is to see a chimp on a horse firing an assault rifle, and it’s sure to happen again in this installment of the once Franco-
BAYWATCH
August 11, not yet rated (probably R) With Lily James, Jon Hamm and Kevin Spacey
Setting aside the awful title, Baby Driver comes to us from British filmmaker Edgar Wright, the visionary comedic genius behind the Cornetto trilogy and Scott Pilgrim. The story of a beautiful young getaway driver, this looks like your basic heist movie, but Wright always surprises with his hysterics. FLATLINERS
August 18, not yet rated (probably R) With Nina Dobrev, Charlotte McKinney, Diego Luna and Ellen Page
We’re gonna reserve judgment because Dobrev is a DeGrassi alum, but this still might be destined for the this-shouldn’t-have-beenremade ash heap. Flatliners follows medical students who work out how to visit the afterlife. But ruh-roh— they might have brought something back. Something scary. Something like ghosts.
SEPTEMBER SKY SHARKS
Sept. 1, not yet rated (we don’t even know where it’s playing) With Michaela Schaffrath, Naomi Grossman and Tony Todd
This is quite literally a movie about Nazi zombies who ride flying sharks. We don’t know how you’ll find it, but if you do work it out, one thing’s for sure—you probably love weed. IT
Sept. 8, R With Bill Skarsgård, Javier Botet and Finn Wolfhard
The film that launched a thousand cases of coulrophobia, It centers around a bunch of small-town weirdos nobody likes as they deal with bummer issues like being alive, being bullied and an evil, sewerdwelling clown monster named Pennywise. Stephen King is like, “Thanks for the money, jerks!” as he laughs all the way back to his megamansion. Z
Sept. 22, not yet rated (probably PG-13) With Gael García Bernal
Yeah, they’re bringing Zorro back, so he’ll probably be like, “I’m going to get revenge for something and carve Zs into people’s shirts and kiss some beautiful women while doling out vigilante justice for the regular Joes of this workaday frontier world!” García Bernal takes on the role, which, if you think about it, is one of the most enduring in cinema history.
OCTOBER BLADE RUNNER 2049
Oct. 6, not yet rated (probably PG-13) With Jared Leto, Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2
Leto and Gosling team up to be super-good-looking replicants (or do they?!) in a remake of a movie
based on a book by Philip K Dick, who really hated the police. Expect sci-fi weirdness, noodles and lots of neon. FRIDAY THE 13TH
Oct. 13, R With actors, probably, we just don’t know who yet
The remakes keep a-coming, this time in the form of the horror classic about hockey mask enthusiast Jason Voorhees and his mom. We don’t actually know if it’s his mom this time, but we do know he’ll probably kill teenagers who were just looking to bone down in the woods. SAW: LEGACY
Oct. 27, R With Tobin Bell and other people, we bet
As October is all about horror, this movie is coming out. Will the nefarious serial killer Jigsaw kill more people even though he died, like, seven movies ago? Probably! Will their deaths be outrageous and make you wonder who on earth thinks this stuff up? You bet! Should you wait for either video or the dollar theater? Absolutely!
THOR: RAGNAROK
Nov. 3, PG-13 With Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins and Benedict Cumberbatch
Are there too many superhero movies these days? Kind of, but God help us, we’re not gonna stop ‘em from getting made (especially since Dr. Strange is gonna be in this one). JUSTICE LEAGUE
Nov. 17, PG-13 With Amy Adams, Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, JK Simmons, Jesse Eisenberg and about a bazillion other people
Continuing their stranglehold on comics fans who already saw all the other Marvel movies, DC Entertainment presents this star-
•
MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS
Nov. 22, PG-13 With Daisy Ridley, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Judi Dench and Kenneth Branagh
Now we’re talkin’! Agatha Christie’s timeless murder mystery set on a fancy-ass train is bound to be worth a watch so long as Depp keeps it cool. Branagh plays Poirot, and while he’s no Albert Finney, he certainly is British.
DECEMBER STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII
Dec. 15, PG-13 With Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill and Oscar Issac
You know the deal—and if not, that’s on you. PITCH PERFECT 3
Dec. 22, PG-13 With Rebel Wilson, Anna Kendrick and Elizabeth Banks
NOVEMBER
SFREPORTER.COM
studded affair about the superfriends themselves, the Justice League. Imagine, if you will, a non-Avengers group of superheroes who work together to fight absurd sci-fi-ish crimes against humanity.
Somehow this college a cappella group just keeps on going and going and going. And going. There will be songs you know, but just hope Donald Faison winds up in there again somehow because we love him. Seriously, though—Scrubs. STRONGER
Dec. 31, not yet rated (probably PG-13) With Jake Gyllenhaal, Tatiana Maslany and Clancy Brown
Based on the events surrounding the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, a survivor helps the police search for the killers while dealing with his own post-explosion issues. Maslany (Orphan Black) is in this thing and we bet it’s super-intense.

A Christmas Witness from the Members and Friends of The United Church of Santa Fe
W
e, the undersigned members and friends of the United Church of Santa Fe, a United Church of Christ, seek to follow the ways of Jesus Christ. As we prepare for Christmas and the coming of Christ’s light into this world, we recommit ourselves to that way and to Christ’s love for all people and all creation. Our faith compels us in this commitment of solidarity: As Jesus was born into poverty with “no room in the inn,” we stand with people who are poor or homeless. As Jesus was a refugee, whose family fled violence in their homeland, we stand with people who are refugees and immigrants. As Jesus respected women and honored their leadership and intellect, we respect and honor all persons, regardless of gender or orientation. As Jesus reached across divisions of race, color, and creed to welcome all, we also seek to love our neighbor and advocate for justice. As Jesus welcomed children and blessed them, we affirm our care for all God’s children and their right to education, equality, and opportunity. As Jesus was “The Prince of Peace” who told his disciples to put down their swords, we stand against violence and bullying and commit to being “makers of peace.” As Jesus looked to the lilies of the field and the birds of the air to speak of God’s love, we regard all creation not as a resource to be exploited, but as a sacred gift of the Creator to be shared wisely and used justly.
As people of faith in this season and all seasons, we recommit ourselves to “Love God. Love Neighbor. Love Creation.” Gail Anderson and Nikki Harnish Gail and Bob Ansheles Rev. Don and Lois Arey Rev.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Review: Side Quests Good news everyone—it rules! by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com
Now that we’re apparently going to get our Star Wars movies in annualized form, it’s only natural to question the validity of Rogue One, the first in a series of non-core films in the franchise, and one to tell a story outside the main plotlines we’ve come to know and love.
We follow Jyn Erso (The Theory of Everything’s Felicity Jones), the daughter of an Imperial science officer played by Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal). Jyn is orphaned when her father grows a conscience and doesn’t want to fight for the Empire anymore. She’s young and brash and doesn’t much care about anything, but when the Rebel Alliance needs to track down someone close to her, she enlists in exchange for whatever semblance of freedom is available in this particular galaxy. And so, along with a Rebel captain named Cassian

falls victim to the uncanny valley. It’s also possible that the heavy emphasis on fan service for the second Star Wars film in quick succession could arguably be perceived as a crutch. Regardless, the action sequences are just right and every conceivable detail seems to have been considered. We actually grow to care about characters that represent a fairly huge shift in a monumental piece of shared culture, and Rogue One does a fine job in establishing a number of new characters. If this is a fair example of the kinds of side stories we can expect from the Star Wars universe, we say bring us more. With such a massively rich vein for storytelling, there’s ample opportunity to win new fans while pleasing entire generations of others. One must be careful not to allow this film to be overhyped, and there will always be minimal things to pick apart if you’re one of those sci-fi fans. But, if you’ve ever been into Star Wars to any degree whatsoever, you’ll want to see this film immediately; the last three minutes alone are worth it.
ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Directed by Gareth Edwards With Jones, Luna and Tudyk Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.
SCREENER
yay!
yay!
Andor (Diego Luna), who is beginning to question his place in the fight, and a wise-crackin’ reprogrammed Imperial droid (voiced brilliantly by Firefly’s Alan Tudyk, even if he’s awfully similar to Douglas Adams’ Marv from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), Jyn must traverse the planets to uncover the plans for an Imperial mega-weapon you may have heard about called the Death Star. Rogue One separates itself from previous Star Wars films with a tale that’s more about the individual human cost of war than the admittedly fun fantasy of space magic. This isn’t to say that known elements from the Star Wars realm don’t find their way into the film, but rather than focus on one young man’s journey to self-discovery and missing hands in a black-and-white, good-versus-evil universe, Rogue One isn’t afraid to point out that the Rebel Alliance must sometimes do ugly things in the name of peace. This paradoxical concept not only helps to flesh out a chapter in the saga that we’ve always kind of wondered about, it is a solid foundation for the humanization of the rebels who, in previous outings, had proven disappointingly dimensionless. The CGI is as brilliant as one would expect from the franchise, save a few creepy choices such as a computer-generated version of Peter Cushing (RIP) as Governor Tarkin that is understandable given he’s not alive, but that still
“A cinematic masterpiece.”
BEST WORST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED Director Lonny Price (Company and 2001’s Sweeney Todd in concert) explores the complexities of the 1981 Broadway musical Merrily We Roll Along. The show, from legendary composer/director team Harold Prince and Stephen Sondheim, is dissected in the new documentary, Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened. Price tackles not only the young actors involved, but the musical’s unprecedented approach of telling protagonist Frank Shepard’s journey from zero to hero by using a backwards time frame. Prince and Sondheim’s risky vision for their production was to cast all young people. They hosted an open cattle call, advertising for individuals between the ages of 14 and 20 and, after a rigorous audition process, the chosen few felt like the most fortunate actors of their time. Unexpectedly, however, the play flopped. Hard. Attendees fled the theater within minutes of the curtain, and after the first disastrous run, the script was scrapped and one of the main actors was replaced. The Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened guides viewers on an inspiring journey through excitement, disappointment and creative fulfillment. Each actor from the original cast of Merrily
We Roll Along (such as Jason Alexander of Seinfield) share their stories about life after the musical’s demise. Stimulating interviews dive into topics important to consider for all creative minds, such as being flexible in one’s career path or following one’s heart despite obstacles. Price himself flashes back to his glory days as Merrily’s Charley Kringas, which makes the film seem like he is living vicariously, but it is his capturing of the family-like unity found within the theater that becomes the leading message of the film. (Kim Jones) Center for Contemporary Arts, NR, 96 min.
THE EAGLE HUNTRESS Forget Frozen. Just let it go. And ditch your heartbreak-turned-fury over the role sexism likely played in the recent presidential election. Instead, let your thrill for a 13-year-old Mongolian girl named Aisholpan Nurgaiv soar above the icecovered steppes of Mongolia in The Eagle Huntress, which has to be the girl-power movie of the year. The new Sony Pictures Classics documentary, narrated by Star Wars newcomer Daisy Ridley, tells the story of the traditional hunting bond between golden eagles and men from the Kazakh, a nomadic tribe that’s been around since before the days of Genghis Khan. But more than that, it’s how this young girl breaks
the glass ceiling between verdant expanses and craggy mountains. You see, like being president of the United States, eagle hunting in Mongolia is just for men. And, boy howdy, even if you stopped reading the subtitles for a few minutes, you’d know how the men interviewed for the film really feel about Aisholpan’s interloping on their sausage fest. Women are weak; they don’t have the courage to hold the bird; they should stay home and make tea for the hunters. Her father, to be congratulated on his forward thinking and bold dedication to his daughter, sees past the gender barrier. “It’s not choice,” he explains, “it’s a calling that has to be in your blood.” And it’s in hers. Aisholpan thus shows no fear, strapping on her fur-lined hat and trotting into town on her sturdy horse, arm extended as it becomes a perch for the avian predator. The bird’s wingspan is wider than she is tall, dwarfing the ruddy-cheeked girl with each restless flap. She pets its head as if it were a house cat, talking all the while with praise and comfort. Oh, and by the way—she had to rappel down a cliff side and snatch the eaglet from its nest. Then months of training. No bigs. What majestic footage: the grace of the powerful wings alighting from the edge CONTINUED ON PAGE 55

yay! Long title? Check. Young Jason Alexander? Check. Best Worst Thing That Ever Could Have Happened has it all! of the mountain, the expressions on the old dudes’ faces as she earns perfect scores at the region’s annual eagle festival as the youngest competitor and the first-ever female. It is a trip for the imagination to look inside yurts and back to stone goat enclosures, across barren snowscapes and through villages with stumpy homes and smoky corridors. See too the textures of the textiles, the steam from the mouths of beasts, and the expressive faces not just of the starring eagles, but the scruffy horses and bleating lambs. We dare you to watch impassively as father and daughter ride off together after Aisholpan passes the ultimate test of recognition for a hunter: catching a fox in the snowy mountains. The Eagle Huntress is a great winter movie that stands to touch the coldest chambers of heart with fierce inspiration. Grab it with your talons.(Julie Ann Grimm) DeVargas, G, subtitles, 87 min.
SEASONS From the directors of 2009’s Oceans, Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud, comes an alternative approach to documentary filmmaking with Seasons. The $35 million nature documentary portrays seasonal change over a span of several millennia as well as the perspective of animals that coexist with humans who, as we all know, ultimately destroy the environment. Although Seasons is less than two hours long, the film is overstuffed with scenes that are supposed to cover the last 10 million years. The filmmakers are careful not to discriminate against the smaller forest life, allowing a good chunk of screen time for spiders spinning webs and beetles walking across trees. We follow a pack of wolves hunting a pig and a pack of humans who brutally shoot one wolf after another in a fashion so intensely up-closeand-personal one might almost assume it is computer generated imaging. Seasons’ cinematography also seems too good to be true, and some scenes raise questions about the logistics of observing animals from a distance. It’s hard to believe Perrin and Cluzaud were able to get close enough to bears fighting, let alone somehow catch wolves running from four different upclose angles. And how on earth did they just so happen to stumble upon a perfectly composed, full-sized rack of detached deer antlers in a sunny clearing? The composition and heavily cinematic editing begin to beg the question: Is this a nature documentary, or a staged film based on a true history?
Unlike Perrin and Cluzaud’s previous works, the lack of narration allows viewers to openly interpret the film. This makes Seasons more peaceful, but the overtly informative aspects of documentaries are sorely missed. If you don’t mind creating your own internal narration, this may be an enjoyable watch for you. If, however, you thrive on the tried-and-true method of a voiceover, you may feel ripped off and lied to because you thought you’d be watching a nature documentary. (KJ) Center for Contemporary Arts, PG, 97 min.
25th ANNIVERSARY RESTORATION A FILM BY
JEUNET & CARO
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM We follow the hijinks of a young wizard named Newt Scamander (Eddie Redmayne of Les Misérables), a sort of conservationist/ magic ecologist who travels the globe both searching for and educating folks about rare magical beasts and having just such a delightfully absurd yet appropriate name. For those familiar with the Harry Potter fiction, we can think of Newt like a sort of precursor to the beast-loving Hagrid from the original run of books and films, especially in his inability to accept that some beasts are just plain dangerous. It’s 1926 in New York City and oh, man, wouldn’t you know it—a bunch of Newt’s beasts get loose! If that wasn’t hard enough for the guy, the American magic community sure is different than the British one to which we’ve grown accustomed via JK Rowling’s other works. Muggles (non-magic folk) are here called “no-maj,” and it’s hard to decide if it’s insulting or just right that the American version of such a concept is the least creative descriptor of all time. Just as Newt comes to New York, a malevolent invisible force starts killing people, and our adorable little hero must join up with a disgraced magic cop named Tina (Katherine Waterston of Inherent Vice), her mind-reading sister Queenie (Alison Sudol) and a no-maj named Kowalski (Dan Fogler) who just wants to open a damn bakery but is swept up in the madness. Everyone obviously blames Newt and his magic creatures, but it seems like the mysterious Graves (who is like, the vice president of magic or something and played by Colin Farrell) knows more than he’s letting on and anyway—Newt dresses in bright colors, so he can’t possibly be bad. Potter-heads will no doubt feel excitement at the prospect of revisiting the world of Rowling’s creation, but make no mistake about the feel of Fantastic Beasts: It’s just not quite the same. It sure is fun, though, and with a reported four CONTINUED ON PAGE 57

MOVIES
ok Seasons gets up close and personal with bear fights and stuff. more films in the series on the way, all directed by Potter veteran David Yates, there’s still time to do better. If nothing else, the huge reveal at the end is pretty exciting (no spoilers), just don’t expect to love it unless you’re already into this stuff. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 133 min.
MOONLIGHT
In a new work based on the previously unproduced screenplay In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue by Tarell Alvin McCraney, director Barry Jenkins (Medicine for Melancholy) brings us a romantic drama fueled by self-discovery. A young boy grows up in Miami during the ’70s and ’80s while struggling to accept his identity. We tour through three significant chapters of Chiron’s life, from timid boy to deluded man, as played at various ages by newcomer Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders from Straight Outta Compton and Westworld’s Trevante Rhodes. Chiron must navigate a veritable minefield of adolescent strife, from a drug-addicted mother, an antihero crack dealer named Juan (Mahershala Ali) and his budding
sexuality with lifelong friend Kevin (Jharrell Jerome and André Holland). Moonlight focuses on the paradoxical question of who you are and who you are expected to be, as Chiron learns he can be open with Kevin sans judgment and utilizes that presence as a safe space. Chiron uncomfortably flits through adulthood, defying the stereotypes of gay and black men, but eventually becoming a crack dealer running the inner city of Atlanta. When Chiron and Kevin reconnect in adulthood, however, Chiron must evaluate who he has become and who he has portrayed himself to be. The gritty plot is beautifully accompanied by ambient lighting and carefully composed scenes, further supporting the poignancy each character brings to the screen, and though Chiron’s voice is rarely heard, he expresses himself with his actions, whether violent or passionate. Moonlight thus becomes a cinematic masterpiece, a journey of love, loss and self-discovery that will leave viewers captivated by Chiron’s character long after the film is over.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) NPR’s Scott Simon interviewed jazz pianist and songwriter Robert Glasper, who has created nine albums, won a Grammy, and collaborated with a range of great musicians. Simon asked him if he had any frustrations -- “grand ambitions” that people discouraged him from pursuing. Glasper said yes. He’d really like to compose and sing hip-hop rhymes. But his bandmates just won’t go along with him when he tries that stuff. I hope that Glasper, who’s an Aries, will read this horoscope and take heart from what I’m about to predict: In 2017, you may finally get a “Yes!” from people who have previously said “No!” to your grand ambitions.
wing. According to my analysis of the astrological omens, this strategy has metaphorical meaning for your life in 2017. Do you want to soar with maximum grace and power? Would you like to ascend and dive, explore and scout, with ease and exuberance? Learn from the eagle’s instinctual wisdom.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Donatello was a renowned Italian sculptor. His favorite piece was “Lo Zuccone,” a marble statue of the Biblical prophet Habakkuk. As Donatello carved his work-in-progress, he addressed it. “Speak, damn you! Talk to me,” he was heard to say on more than a few occasions. Did the stone respond? Judging from the beauty of the final product, I’d have to say yes. One art critic testified that “Lo Zuccone” is a “sublimely harrowing” tour de force, a triumph of “forceful expression,” and “one of the most important marble sculptures of the 15th century.” I suspect you will have Donatello-like powers of conversation in 2017, Aries. If anyone can communicate creatively with stones—and rivers and trees and animals and spirits and complicated humans, for that matter—it’ll be you.
for you to hear as you prepare for 2017. My sense is that in the past few months, your true self has been making its way back to the heart of life after a time of wandering on the outskirts. Any day now, a long-silent bell will start ringing to herald your full return. Welcome home!
see you and deal with you on your home turf.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “My goal is to create a life that I don’t need a vacation from,” says motivational author Rob Hill Sr. That’s an implausible dream for most people. But in 2017, it will be less implausible than it has ever been for you Aquarians. I don’t guarantee that it will happen. But there is a decent chance you’ll build a robust foundation for it, and thereby give yourself a head start that enables you to accomplish it by 2019. Here’s a tip on how to arouse and cultivate your motivation: Set an intention to drum up and seek out benevolent “shocks” that expand your concepts of who you are and what your life is about. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) The birds known as winter wrens live in the Puget Sound area of Washington. They weigh barely half an ounce, and their plain brown coloring makes their appearance unremarkable. Yet they are the avian equivalents of the opera star Pavarotti. If they weighed as much as roosters, their call would be ten times as strong as the rooster’s cock-a-doodle-doo. Their melodies are rich and complex; one song may have more than 300 notes. When in peak form, the birds can unleash cascades at the rate of 36 notes per second. I propose that we make the winter wren your spirit animal in 2017, Pisces. To a casual observer, you may not look like you can generate so much virtuosity and lyrical power. But according to my analysis, you can.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In accordance with your astrological omens for 2017, I’ve taken a poem that Shel Silverstein wrote for kids and made it into your horoscope. It’ll serve as a light-hearted emblem of a challenging but fun task you should attend to in the coming months. Here it is: “I’ve never washed my shadow out in all the time I’ve had it. It was absolutely filthy I supposed, so I peeled it off the wall where it was leaning and stuck it in the washtub with the clothes. I put in soap and bleach and stuff. I let it soak TAURUS (April 20-May 20) According to Japanese for hours. I wrung it out and hung it out to dry. And novelist Haruki Murakami, “A certain type of perfection whoever would have thunk that it would have gone and can only be realized through a limitless accumulation shrunk, for now it’s so much littler than I.” of the imperfect.” Let’s amend that thought so it’s SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Walk your wisdom exactly suitable for your use in 2017. Here’s the new, Taurus-specific version: “A messy, practical, beautiful walk in 2017, Sagittarius. Excite us with your wisdom type of perfection can be realized through a patient, songs and gaze out at our broken reality with your faithful, dogged accumulation of the imperfect.” To live wisdom eyes. Play your wisdom tricks and crack your up to the promise of this motto, make damn good use wisdom jokes and erupt with your wisdom cures.

To start her routine, she leaps up wisdom exploits! And please note: You don’t have to off a springboard and lands on the balance beam doing wait until the wisdom is perfect. You shouldn’t worry a full split. The technical term for this bold maneuver is about whether it’s supremely practical. Your job is to trust your wisdom gut, to unleash your wisdom cry, to “a change-leg leap to free-cross split sit,” although its revel in your wisdom magic. informal name is “The Dick Move.” The International Federation of Gymnastics has certified it in its Code of CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) As I was ruminating on Points, so it’s official. During the coming months, I your astrological omens for 2017, I came across a wildly expect that you will also produce one-of-a-kind innova- relevant passage written by Rabbi Tzvi Freeman. It contions in your own sphere. veys a message I encourage you to memorize and repeat at least once a day for the next 365 days. Here it is: CANCER (June 21-July 22) I hope you will be as wellgrounded in 2017 as you have ever been—maybe even “Nothing can hold you back—not your childhood, not since your past life as a farmer. I trust you will go a long the history of a lifetime, not even the very last moment way toward mastering the arts of being earthy, practical, before now. In a moment you can abandon your past. and stable. To do this right, however, you should also And once abandoned, you can redefine it. If the past work on a seemingly paradoxical task: cultivating a vig- was a ring of futility, let it become a wheel of yearning orous and daring imagination—as perhaps you did in that drives you forward. If the past was a brick wall, let it one of your other past lives as an artist. In other words, become a dam to unleash your power.” your ability to succeed in the material world will thrive AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Naturalist John Muir as you nurture your relationship with fantasy realms— regarded nature as his church. For weeks at a time he and vice versa. If you want to be the boss of reality, lived outdoors, communing with the wilderness.

You may underestimate the creativity thing about them—undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone you call on as you shape the raw material of your like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate.” Is experience into an epic story. Luckily, I’m here to impress there anything about you that even partially fits that upon you the power and the glory of this heroic effort. Is description, Aquarius? If so, I’m pleased to inform you there anything more important? Not for you Leos. And I that 2017 will be an excellent year to address the probtrust that in 2017 you will take your craftsmanship to the lem. You will have immense potential to become more highest level ever. Keep this advice from author Nathan intimate and tender with all of the component parts of W. Morris in mind: “Edit your life frequently and the Great Mystery. What’s the opposite of loneliness? ruthlessly. It’s your masterpiece, after all.” VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) French painter Henri Matisse PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Seven Chilean poets were (1869-1954) turned out to be one of the supremely influ- frustrated by their fellow citizens’ apathy toward the art of poetry.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) In August 2012, a group of tourists visited the Eldgja volcanic region in Iceland. After a while, they noticed that a fellow traveler was missing. Guides organized a search party, which worked well into the night trying to track down the lost woman. At 3 a.m., one of the searchers suddenly realized that TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Humans have drunk hot she herself was the missing person everyone was looktea for over two millennia. Chinese emperors were ing for. The misunderstanding had occurred many hours enjoying it as far back as the second century B.C. And earlier because she had slipped away to change her yet it wasn’t until the 20th century that anyone dreamed clothes, and no one recognized her in her new garb.

Add a brief analysis of how well you have community and support system you want. lived up to those promises in the previous four weeks.

His fulfill those promises in the coming four weeks. work appears on many “must-read” lists of 19th-century CANCER (June 21-July 22) During the campaign for U.S. American literature. But during the time he was alive, his President in 1896, Democratic candidate William best-selling book was not his famous poem “The Raven,” Jennings Bryan traveled 18,000 miles as he made nor his short story “The Gold-Bug,” nor his novel The speeches all over the country.

I recommend a comparable approach for that your fate is different from Poe’s. I see the coming months as a time when your best talents will be seen you in the coming months, Cancerian. Invoke all your attractive power as you invite interested parties to come and appreciated better than ever before. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “Poetry is a way of knowledge, but most poetry tells us what we already know,” writes poet Charles Simic. I would say the same thing about a lot of art, theater, film, music, and fiction: Too often it presents well-crafted repetitions of ideas we have heard before. In my astrological opinion, Leo, 2017 will be a time when you’ll need to rebel against that limitation. You will thrive by searching for sources that provide you with novel information and unique understandings. Simic says: “The poem I want to write is impossible: a stone that floats.” I say: Be on the lookout for stones that float. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The Economist magazine reports that if someone wanted to transport $10 million in bills, he or she would have to use eight briefcases. Sadly, after evaluating your astrological omens for 2017, I’ve determined that you won’t ever have a need for that many. If you find yourself in a situation where you must carry bundles of money from one place to another, one suitcase will always be sufficient. But I also want to note that a sizable stash of cash can fit into a single suitcase. And it’s not out of the question that such a scenario could transpire for you in the coming months. In fact, I foresee a better chance for you to get richer quicker than I’ve seen in years. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) For a bald eagle in flight, feathers are crucial in maintaining balance. If it inadvertently loses a feather on one wing, it will purposely shed a comparable feather on the other
