GLENN GREENWALD with
TOM ENGELHARDT
D E L L E C N A C WEDNESDAY 1 FEBRUARY AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Due to illness, Mr. Greenwald has had to cancel his event. We will reschedule the event in Fall 2017. The Trump presidency presents massive, new threats to the protection of civil rights and liberties, long under assault—but also entirely new political opportunities. − Glenn Greenwald, on the 2016 presidential election
Glenn Greenwald is an investigative journalist and author. A former constitutional lawyer, he founded the online global media outlet The Intercept with Laura Poitras and Jeremy Scahill in 2014. He is the author of several best sellers—most recently No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the US Surveillance State. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his investigative journalism and was named one of the top 100 Global Thinkers for 2013 by Foreign Policy magazine. He is a recipient of the 2011 Lannan Cultural Freedom Award. Greenwald will speak about “Political Trends and Civil Liberties in the Trump Era.”

WEDNESDAY 15 FEBRUARY AT 7PM LENSIC PERFORMING ARTS CENTER Eileen Myles is the author of more than a dozen volumes of poetry, fiction, and nonfiction, including Snowflake/different streets, Sorry, Tree, Chelsea Girls, Not Me, Skies, Cool for You, The Importance of Being Iceland: Travel Essays in Art, and Inferno: A Poet’s Novel, winner of the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction. Her autobiographical novel Chelsea Girls, originally published in 1994 and reissued in 2015, brings together snapshot-like memories from her 1960s Catholic upbringing with an alcoholic father, her difficult teen years, her committed embrace of lesbianism, and her life as a poet in 1970s New York, which she describes as “a glowing cord of drunkenness and sex.” Myles’s book I Must Be Living Twice: New and Selected Poems 1975–2014 was described by John Ashbery as being “like a gasp of fresh air in the turbulent urban environment she writes from.”

PICKING A FIGHT WITH BIG SODA 9 Mayor Javier Gonzales’ proposed tax on sugary drinks rankles the opposition AID IN DYING 11 Do New Mexicans deserve to die with dignity? COVER STORY 12 OUR SCHOOLS ARE DROWNING IN DATA New Mexico’s public schools spend a whole lot of time and money compiling often redundant data sets.

Century Bank has a deep history in New Mexico. Just like you and me. I AM your bank.
PICKING A FIGHT WITH BIG SODA Soda’s really not good for you. Since people can’t seem to internalize that idea on their own, a proposed sugar tax may take some of the sweetness away—and fund pre-K programs at the same time. Cover design by Anson Stevens-Bollen artdirector@sfreporter.com

Tell Governor Martinez: “We’re Howling Mad!” With just six breeding pairs at last count and inbreeding that is causing wolf moms to have fewer pups, New Mexico’s and Arizona’s endangered Mexican gray wolves need genetically-diverse wolves to be released from captivity before it’s too late. But Governor Martinez has cynically blocked releases. Will our children be able to know the lobo in the wild, or will it be driven to extinction?

Adios… BY ROBERT BASLER
Hey, Bob! I just heard your column is going away! Can that really be? I’m afraid it is. This is the final Blue Corn. It’s disappearing from the American scene along with civility, truth, human dignity and compassion, so it’s in very good company. What happened? Was there some scandal? Were you gambling with campaign funds? Throwing stuff off a balcony at a holiday pizza party? Nope, it’s just the harsh reality of modern journalism. Shrinking news space, editors forced to choose between actual news—which is sorely needed nowadays—and my smartass commentary. They made the right choice. Do you have any regrets? Are you serious? PT Barnum was just sworn in as President of the United States! Of course I regret losing my public forum. What are you going to do? I’ll buy a bullhorn, go to the Plaza bandstand and rant at the grifters, buskers and tourists. I hope my lips don’t freeze to the mouthpiece. By the time the weather gets warmer, Presi-

dent Barnum will probably be rounding up smartasses like me and putting us in camps… Looking back, do you have a single favorite column? Yeah, last year, during the election primaries, I learned that New Mexico’s constitution explicitly prohibits “idiots” from voting. If you’re a humor columnist, that-there is the mother lode, so I ran with it. Were there any columns where you were surprised by the reaction? Yes. The one I did on animal trapping on public lands being legal in this state— that horrified a lot of people who hike, walk their dogs or ride horses on public lands. Many readers just weren’t aware of this insanity. This issue needs to be addressed, along with atrocities like coyote killing contests. I love my state, but sometimes I feel as if it’s a giant Ripley’s Believe it or Not Museum. Is there anyone you’d like to thank? Yes. My agents, my manager, the production company at… Get a grip, Bob. This isn’t the Oscars. Don’t you want to thank your readers? I was just about to do that. Santa Fe readers have been a big part of my life for four years, and I love them. Especially the ones who commented on my columns online. Feedback is bliss. Even negative feedback. I did want to ask you one more thing. SFR stories tend to use some pretty salty language, liberally dropping the f-bomb, the s-bomb, etc. Why haven’t you done that? I’m a little too old school. I learned how to express myself in print back in the day, and I guess I just never changed. That sounds like a fucking waste of freedom of speech to me. Perhaps it is, but it’s my freedom of speech, and it has never been as precious as it is right now. So if you spot me with my bullhorn on the bandstand, please come over and rant alongside me. We’re all going to be ranting before long, my friends.

Red Bull (8.4 oz)
Picking a Fight with Big Soda Dollars likely to flow into campaigns for and against mayor’s proposed tax on sugary beverages BY STEVEN HSIEH s t e v e n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
I
t is uncontroversial to say Santa Fe suffers from woefully underfunded pre-K programs, which experts say are integral to improving children’s economic outcomes. About 1,000 3- to 4-year-olds in the city don’t have access to “five-star” care. Families are stuck on waiting lists, banking on lotteries for a slot in the city’s best preschools. Disagreement arises over how the mayor plans to throw money at that problem: a tax of 2 cents per fluid ounce on sugar-sweetened drinks, including sodas, mixers, sports drinks, energy drinks, iced teas and fruit juices that contain artificial sweeteners. Exempted from the new duty would be booze, 100 percent vegetable or fruit juice and products where milk is the main ingredient. The tax would be directed at distributors, who ultimately decide how much to pass on to retailers. The proposal has already pitted city government against local business owners—not to mention the corporations collectively known as Big Soda. After introducing his sugar tax late last year, Gonzales launched a public relations campaign to sell the plan to the locals who will be most affected. He met with the editorial boards of The New Mexican and the Albuquerque Journal’s Santa Fe office. (SFR sent a reporter to meet with the mayor.) He unveiled the official proposal on Jan. 18 and then scheduled a round of town halls at early childhood education centers that would benefit from grant programs funded by the tax. Part of the mayor’s central message is, “You gotta find a way to pay for it.” Gonzales and his advisers also considered property or gross receipt tax hikes to raise $7.2 million to expand pre-K access. He stresses that, one way or another, Santa Fe is likely on its own to raise the cash. “Santa Feans told me before the election that they support the city taking on more responsibility for our values,” he says. “They know it’s not going to come out of a Trump administration. They have yet to see it come out of the Martinez administration.”
A couple dozen employees of the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Santa Fe arrive at his second town hall Saturday morning, Jan. 28, at Aspen Magnet Community School to protest the proposal. Decked in red jackets and fleeces bearing the ubiquitous company logo, they describe fears of losing their jobs while their bosses bring the doomsday scenarios. “Mayor, we want to work with you. We do. But we don’t want to lose this company,” says Stuart Feltman, president of the local Coca-Cola franchise. “I worry about my employees if we have to cut heads.”

Other opponents say they can’t afford to be nickel-and-dimed. Ginger Griego de Olivares, a local artist, holds up a clear plastic container of Simply Orange and tells the crowd that her husband drinks three a week. “If I have to, I’ll stop by Walmart on the way to town from Albuquerque and pick up four or five bottles of juice.” But the mayor also has his supporters. Josh Herrera, a wrestling coach, walks up to the front of the classroom and stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Gonzales. “This isn’t about cents on the dollar,” he says. “Everybody’s worried about their children.” A home visitor who works with new parents stands up and says she struggles to keep up with her caseload of 20 families. “To get them into early childhood care, it’s hard,” she says. City Council committees will debate the legislation before the full Council

decides whether to put it to voters in a special election. But Gonzales tells SFR he’s secured the votes among Santa Fe’s nine-member governing body to make that happen. (When we polled the Council, some key votes were non-committal.) The last time Santa Fe held a special election in 2008, voters struck down a proposed real estate transfer tax. If the sugar tax makes it to the ballot, Santa Fe could face opponents much bigger than local businesses; namely, the American Beverage Association, a trade group that represents the nation’s biggest drink brands: Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and several bottling companies. When other cities have floated similar measures, the lobby showed its displeasure through expensive ads. The American Beverage Association threw more than $2.4 million to stop a similar proposal in Berkeley, California. (Berkeley citizens voted for the tax.) When Philadelphia’s governing body passed its own sugar tax, bypassing an election, Big Soda took the city to court. There, a judge threw out the case. When SFR contacted the American Beverage Association last week, a representative declined to comment, referring us to Kathy Hart, human resources manager of the Santa Fe Coca-Cola bottling plant and third-generation member of the founding Hart family. Asked whether her family would financially support a campaign against Gonzales’ soda tax, Hart says, “I don’t know at this point.” But supporters of soda taxes also have heavy coffers on their side, potentially setting up a high-dollar fight. Bloomberg Philanthropies, the nonprofit arm of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg, poured millions into campaigns to support proposals in Boulder, the Bay Area and Cook County, Illinois. (Bloomberg previously pushed for a soda tax in New York, though those efforts failed.) According to a schedule obtained through a public records request, Mayor Gonzales met with Bloomberg Philanthropies just days after announcing in November his intention to pursue a tax on sugary beverages. The mayor says he did not meet with Bloomberg personally, adding that he did not coordinate any ad campaign during his meeting in New York City. “I’m not part of their campaign efforts—or whatever campaign might be in place. I have not talked with them about making an investment. But I do hope they do get involved in this,” Gonzales says. “I was sitting down with them to learn how they were successful in other communities.” SFREPORTER.COM

The C. G. Jung Institute of Santa Fe presents
Jung
In the World
Lecture & Workshop
Marilyn L. Matthews, M.D., Jungian analyst practicing in Santa Fe Lecture: Dignity, Strength, and Fury: A Celebration of Women Friday, February 3rd 7-9pm $10 2 CEUs
In this era of increasing polarization, not only are more women in positons of leadership, but there is also increased brutality, abuse, and sexual slavery of women and girls. Social media has become the primary means of communication for most people, with an especially difficult trend towards overt misogyny and disrespect of adolescent girls. Young boys demand nude photos of the girls, using words like “slut” and “bitch” to shame and deride them if they refuse. Snapchat images make or break popularity and can lead to cyberbullying. Gender is ferociously questioned, giving rise to laws that punish women and the LGBT communities as a backlash to same-sex marriage and transgender revelations. In a world of apocalyptic changes, where and how do women give voice to courage, to dignity, and ferocity in the face of such disrespect and cruel treatment? Dr. Matthews will share stories, both ancient and modern, to illustrate ways in which women have expressed their demands to be valued and treated with respect. She will also show excerpts of TED talks and music DVDs that emphasize and reveal shadow elements in our Western culture. Men and women can benefit from listening to stories and songs by women of action whose strength resides in the original meaning of virginal – she who is one-in-herself.
Workshop: What Do Women Really Want? Exploration of Fairytales about Curious Females and Murderous Males Saturday, February 4th 9am-4:30pm $80 6 CEUs
In this workshop, Dr. Matthews will continue to explore what women want – and need to develop, expand, and amplify in their lives. Through the fairy tale cycle of Bluebeard variations, participants will tease out and elaborate qualities that women and men need to hone in order to stand up to the “murderous” male shadow in the collective, that harms both women and men. We can no longer afford to “blame the Other.” Instead, we must learn from the pain of “breakdown” to recognize and live into the “breakthrough.” How else can we be ready to step into new roles? New models for relationship do not have to be based on the patriarchal dominant of “power-over” but rather on patterns that model Rilke’s words: “Love consists in this, that two solitudes protect, and touch, and greet each other.” You are encouraged to read the fairytales Bluebeard, The Robber Bridegroom, and Fitcher’s Bird before the workshop.
Both events at: Center for Spiritual Living, 505 Camino de los Marquez, Santa Fe Friday lecture tickets at the door. For Saturday workshop pre-registration call Rich Ryan, 505-670-3470 For expanded program details go to www.santafejung.org

Aid in Dying Legislation would establish ‘right to die,’ but proponents say courts are better option
Over the past few years, the issue went back and forth in New Mexico courts. In 2014, a district judge in Bernalillo County ruled patients have the right to take a fatal dose of drugs prescribed by a medical doctor. In her ruling, Judge Nan Nash wrote, “This court cannot envision a right more fundamental, more private or more integral to the liberty, safety and happiness of a New Mexican than the right of a competent, terminally ill patient to choose aid in dying.” The state of New Mexico appealed the decision and the case eventually wound up in the state’s high court. Last year, the Supreme Court justices ruled that aid in dying is not a fundamental right in New Mexico and cited an existing state law that identifies assisted suicide as a fourth-degree felony. If Armstrong and McCamley’s bill becomes law, New Mexico would become the sixth state to pass such a measure through law. Montana is the only state that approved the practice through its Supreme Court. Oregon, Vermont, Washington, California and Colorado all allow patients to self-administer a lethal dosage of
B Y A N D Y LY M A N NEW MEXICO POLICTICAL REPORT
THE TROUBLE WITH STATUTE McCamley said he usually sticks to legislation addressing the state’s economy but decided to team up with Armstrong on “aid in dying” after the New Mexico Supreme Court ruled last year that the issue must be settled by the Legislature. Aid in dying is distinct from assisted suicide in that a doctor doesn’t administer the lethal dose of medicine to the patient.
in dying case, in front of the US Supreme Court. In that case, the court ruled that aid in dying is not a right granted by the US Constitution and left it for the states to decide. Tucker is also outspoken about what she sees as overly restrictive legislation allowing self-administered death. “If you impose a statute that says, ‘Here’s how you practice medicine,’ you hamper the evolution of medicine,” Tucker said. Armstrong’s bill would require patients to submit and sign a written request before taking the lethal drugs but would not include the timeline other states require. Still, some see aid in dying and assisted suicide as the same—and say significant issues arise from allowing anyone to end their own life.
Doctors don’t look to law books to practice medicine.
OUTLOOK UNKNOWN Executive Director of the New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops Allen Sánchez has a few problems with the bill. He told NM Political Report his organization opposes Armstrong and McCamley’s bill on moral grounds. “It’s wrong for us to call this an aid in dying,” Sánchez said. “It’s suicide.” Sánchez said there is too much room for human error when physicians allow patients to die on their own terms—an argument commonly used by death penalty opponents. “There’s no remedy, there’s no reversal,” Sánchez said. During the 2016 special legislative session when House Republicans pushed to reinstate the death penalty, many Democrats argued death after a wrongful conviction has no reversal mechanism. But proponents for allowing aid in dying maintain the practice is rooted in personal decisions, not government interference. “No one is saying you have to make this choice,” McCamley said. Armstrong, who chairs the House Health and Human Services Committee, has placed the bill on the agenda for Friday. Gov. Susana Martinez is publicly silent on the issue. Spokesmen for Martinez did not reply to e-mailed questions from NM Political Report on whether she might sign such legislation. State law already allows doctors to prescribe a highly potent dosage of drugs to terminally ill patients in order to limit pain in their last days. Like McCamley’s father, patients can also sign an order allowing them to die naturally instead of being kept alive artificially.
-Kathryn Tucker, End of Life Liberty Project director
COURTESY BILL McCAMLEY
M
ichael McCamley liked to plan. It was part of his job in the US Army and according to his son, state Rep. Bill McCamley of Doña Ana County, that instinct to plan for the unexpected extended to family matters, including death. In 2010, doctors diagnosed the retired lieutenant colonel with a rare, terminal disease similar to ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. After discussing it with his family, the elder McCamley decided to fill out an advance directive stating that he was not to be kept alive artificially if and when that time came. “Everyone knew what the situation was and what his decision was,” Rep. McCamley said. “He really got the most out of his last few years.” In May 2014, Michael died “peacefully with his family around him,” his obituary read. Today, McCamley says his father’s autonomy and planning made a painful loss slightly easier to handle. “There was a grace and dignity with his passing,” McCamley said. The Democratic lawmaker said that plan allowed the family to enjoy his father’s last few years. That experience inspired McCamley to cosponsor legislation that would allow terminally ill patients to medically end their own lives. If passed, House Bill 171, sponsored by McCamley and Rep. Debbie Armstrong, D-Albuquerque, would put to rest the issue of aid in dying after years of fighting in courts.
medication to end their own lives. Those states require patients to submit two oral requests, at least 15 days apart, and one written request to a physician. Yet, proponents of aid in dying argue that allowing the practice through legislation instead of the courts becomes increasingly restrictive. States are too involved in the process, End of Life Liberty Project Director Kathryn Tucker said. “Doctors don’t look to law books to practice medicine,” she told NM Political Report. Tucker has extensive experience in advocating for aid in dying, having argued Washington v Glucksberg, a national aid

t took Lisa Durkin about a month, she figures, of staying after school two or three nights a week. Usually she’d be in her classroom until 7 pm gathering lesson plans or logs of contact she’d had with parents. Slowly, she built her case. By the time she finished compiling the documentation she hoped would prove to her school district and the state that she was the top-notch teacher she’d always been, Durkin’s binders contained 710 pages of information. Dennis Roch is the superintendent of Logan Municipal Schools and no stranger to the time-suck that is educational data reporting. There are only 316 students in the district this year. And while people in the tiny town about 20 miles west of Texas are fiercely proud of their Logan Longhorns, the district only employs a handful of administrators. It’s the superintendent who often has to handle reporting duties. Roch’s district must file more than 140 sets of data with the state Public Education Department every year—stats running the gamut from attendance records to school meal and bus inspections to student assessments. Often, he’s sending the PED information that it already has. “It’s like, you’re in the same department. You’re looking at the same data. We send that up to you digitally. Just tap the database and you’ll have it,” he tells SFR. “Those types of things are frustrating.” He’s not surprised, though. Roch is also a Republican state legislator and is just finishing a two-year stint as chairman of the Legislative Education Study Committee. For years, New Mexico has been trying to figure out how to best measure the performance of its students, teachers and schools. The theory: Gather more information, measure more stuff, and the people who set the direction for the state’s schools can’t help but find the right compass heading. Yet, the public education system still seems lost. There’s plenty of data to support that dismal conclusion. Education Week’s yearly Quality Counts survey just ranked the state 49th overall. When the publication put together what it calls its “Chance-for-Success index,” New Mexico dropped to dead last. In fact, New Mexico is awash in education data. And on the day before the legislative session began last month, Roch’s committee—the most powerful group of lawmakers charting the course for the state’s schools—learned we’re drowning in it.
MOST SPENT
Christi Martin, an Austin-based educational consultant, studied all the information school districts and charter schools have to report to the state. The Santa Febased Thornburg Foundation funded the study with the blessing of the committee and the PED. Martin concluded that New Mexico educators spend far too much time and money dealing with data. She worked with a small group of educators to find out more about the effort and cost of keeping up with reporting requirements. She crunched the numbers and then compared them to Texas, Nevada and Delaware. New Mexico outspent them all. The study estimates the state spends almost $212 per student per year to meet all its reporting requirements—26 percent more than Texas, 56 percent more than Delaware and 205 percent more than Nevada. The study figures that’s $357,000 every year in salary costs for the average district to report data to state and federal agencies. New Mexico Secretary of Education Hanna Skandera says Martin’s work is “an excellent opportunity for us to look at our systems and efficiencies.” If it sounds like she’s choosing her words carefully, she is. Now in her seventh year on the job, Skandera has clashed with career educators who say she’s a data darling dead-set on finding the right measurables to support a more-with-less approach to New Mexico schools. A report that says her department isn’t doing a good job of using the information it collects is not exactly good for business. Add to that the dismal state budget picture—Skandera says she’s less focused on expanding initiatives during the legislative session than she is on preserving funding levels for her key projects—and the likelihood of a data bailout seems slim. That’s because the study suggests the larg-

est gains can be made through better technology. “Evolving into this system that ultimately is cost-saving and time-saving for our schools and our districts takes time and sometimes an initial investment,” Skandera tells SFR. If you’re just learning education-ese, read that as: If you can find the money for a new software system, let me know, because I just don’t see it. For the study, Skandera’s department worked with Martin to show how it collects the information schools send to the state and how it shares that data internally. Martin gave the state credit for developing a more streamlined reporting system— the Student Teacher Accountability Reporting System, or STARS—but said that once all the test scores, evaluations, attendance charts and other information makes its way to the state, the heavy lifting
is nowhere near finished for schools. More than a dozen different programs then start asking districts to tweak their reports in what the study called “a protracted and bewildering data validation process.” The whole ordeal is particularly burdensome for charter schools and smaller districts like Logan. As superintendent, Roch spends more time submitting data than his counterparts in larger districts. “I will call up to the PED, talk to the Title I bureau, and they’re asking for information about how many special ed students we have,” he says, “And I’ll say, ‘We send that in in our reports to the special ed bureau.’ And somebody on the phone will say, ‘Well, we don’t really talk to that bureau.’” As a Republican and as an educator, Roch supports much of what Skandera and Gov. Susana Martinez are trying to ac-
complish with their educational agenda. He’s all in favor of tracking the progress of his students, teachers and schools through data. But some of it seems useless to him. “If you can’t use it, it doesn’t do any good. I don’t want us to be data-rich and information-poor.” Martin’s study right off the bat recommends a hard look at nine different reports—everything from parent surveys to violence and vandalism reports to an accounting of health services—and suggests much of what’s collected is either redundant or takes more time to collect and report than could be useful to policy makers. Three of the reports could be axed by the PED. The remaining six would need legislative action to be changed or ditched altogether. Roch isn’t sure, however, whether any legislation to make such a move will see CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

It would not be fair to Skandera to say she broke something that was working. New Mexico’s schools routinely brought up the rear in national surveys like the one by Education Week long before she arrived, and when Democrats ran the show. There’s an adversarial air to the education discussion at the Roundhouse these days. It doesn’t bode well for the likelihood of major systemic change for education during the 2017 session. For one, there’s no money. Next, the flagships of the current education agenda—emphasis on standardized test scores, a complicated teacher evaluation matrix and an A-through-F grading system for individual schools—haven’t delivered substantially better outcomes for students. Veronica Garcia, current superintendent of Santa Fe Public Schools and the woman who held Skandera’s job under Bill Richardson, acknowledges graduation numbers have improved under her successor. But she cautions against equating graduation with proficiency. “We want to make sure that kids are graduating ready for college and career. If you look at remediation numbers, they 14

are pretty high,” Garcia says. “What we hear from the business community is that the soft skills we still have to work on; things like showing up on time and kids who know how to work in groups.” Then Garcia adds something interesting. “I think we need to analyze and look at the data. See how we can improve. Because we want to make sure that we’re graduating students who really can go on and have productive lives and not be demoralized when they try to go to a community college and have to take remedial courses.” There’s a clear desire by educators of all stripes to get a better picture of what’s going on in education; to see what’s working. While schools languish in the doldrums, political parties are at odds about how to put some wind in their sails. Sen. Bill Soules, D-Las Cruces, admits the bills that would make the most difference, in his eyes, “if they were to get through both chambers, likely face a veto from the governor.” At the same time, he offers little chance for key Martinez programs—holding back third-graders who can’t read proficiently, for instance—to even make it out of the committee hearings where potential new laws are vetted. “I think we’re treading water at best right now,” Soules offers. Educators are keeping their heads above water, but barely. Schools are the largest single budget item funded by the state each year and a prime place for lawmakers to hunt for cost savings. “You have to look towards schools for that. However, we’ve underfunded the schools for years and years and years, so it’s very difficult when we’re having budget issues to then cut from schools that are already woefully underfunded.” He’s unimpressed by Gov. Martinez’ early rhetoric; the governor told a business group just days before the session began that she planned to target $120 million from school district cash reserves to

Rep. Dennis Roch
shore up the current year’s budget. She called the reserves a “slush fund.” “That shows a lack of understanding of how schools work and how their funding works,” Soules says. “They think it’s just money sitting around to buy donuts for principals.” In reality, school districts use their reserve accounts almost like a revolving line of credit. The money can be used to make payroll, fund liability insurance installments or to leverage federal education dollars, which require schools to foot the bill before they’re reimbursed by Washington DC. Even people like Soules acknowledge that doesn’t mean there’s no money to be had, but painting schools as wasteful doesn’t make sense to him. “There isn’t money sloshing around waiting for somebody to use it in education. We cut it all already.”

the light of day in the current legislative session. Martin’s report is no secret, and both Democrats and Republicans are free to introduce whatever bills they wish in the 60 days they are at the Capitol. Skandera doesn’t plan to stop gathering information in the meantime. The PED is in the midst of a pilot program to see if it can ease the burden for school districts and make the reporting process more efficient. As both her supporters and her critics would say, she’s devoted to her data. “What gets measured, gets done. And data is really an incredible tool to inform instruction,” she insists. The controversial education chief acknowledges, though, that there’s no sense in collecting information for its own sake. “Data that’s not used is not a good tool.” Why New Mexico hasn’t figured out a way to more efficiently use all the information to drive instructional change and get results isn’t clear. Certainly the cost of a fancy new software system is a major hurdle. “We don’t have any immediate funding opportunities,” Skandera says, “but that doesn’t mean we won’t consistently look for them.” Martin’s report says the state wouldn’t have had to look far. New Mexico is one of only three states that have not leveraged federal funding to help track educational progress. Many states have already won millions of dollars in grants through two rounds of funding. New Mexico has missed out on both, and the next chance to win any federal cash isn’t until 2018.
Lisa Durkin shows off the documents she compiled for her recent teacher evaluation—710 pages of them.
Charles Goodmacher looks like he’s been working the last week of the legislative session, not the first. Late one afternoon last week, sitting on a couch outside the Senate chambers, his blue tie is slightly off-center. His hair, usually neat, shows signs of having had a tired hand run through it at least a few times. The lobbyist for the National Education Association, a union for teachers and support staff, Goodmacher has been trying to stem the tide of legislation aimed both at cutting funding and finding more ways to measure the progress—or lack of it—in New Mexico’s education system. The NEA and another teacher’s union, the American Federation of Teachers, went so far as to sue the state over teacher evaluations in 2014. Those two law-
Sen. Bill Soules
suits are still pending. Five days after SFR interviewed Skandera for this story, she quietly disclosed support for a small shift in teacher measurements. Under the plan, student test scores would account for 40 percent of an evaluation instead of the current 50 percent, and more weight would be given to a principal’s observation of the teacher in class. Goodmacher’s organization called Skandera’s idea to alter the balance a minor step in the right direction. The proposed legislation is a bit of a poison pill, though. It gives many teachers more of what they want, but it would also make the evaluation system part of state statute rather than an administrative policy, a move that makes it harder for future leaders to change. He doesn’t fault lawmakers for having to make “horrible choices” about how much to lop off the budget for schools, but he thinks the fact that the state’s schools are in this predicament speaks volumes. “I think the signal is clear that it’s more important to provide money, both through tax breaks and through direct support, for potential businesses to come into our state than it is to fund sufficiently the education of our students who are here and now,” Goodmacher says. The father of two students currently in Rio Rancho’s school system argues, like many advocates, that strong schools are just as valuable to luring businesses to the state’s sagging economy as an ag-
gressively low tax structure. He points to a state like California, which is not known for low taxes but is in many ways considered an attractive environment for companies to sprout and grow. “Your taxes are going to be higher in California,” Goodmacher says, “but you’ll be located in a place where your potential employees want to live.” Though he and the governor are far from pitching tents in the same education camp, they share that sentiment. During her State of the State address, Martinez emphasized the role of education—and public safety—in economic development. She also hit on her continued desire to figure out what’s working for New Mexico schools and to duplicate it. “The old approach cannot prevail here—where we used to dole out cash with no measures of success or incentives to expand opportunities for children,” Martinez told lawmakers on the session’s opening day. “We must priori-
bers it gathers—and educators on the ground wonder how, or if, all this number-crunching is really helping. Lisa Durkin has been a practicing educator for more than a quarter century. You can hear the passion in her voice as she talks about how hard her freshman physical science students try or what it’s like to work at a school where the entire administration has turned over twice in the last four years. Durkin is convinced that the job she does matters, that she’s contributing to the greater good and the better she is at teaching, the better off society will be— however small or large the measure. She’s not against evaluating teachers or any other part of the education system. “You know what? If it worked, that would be awesome,” she says. “I would be cheerleading. But I don’t think we’ve seen any type of measurable, statistically significant improvement in the productivity of schools based on these reform measures. “It’s such a huge use of our resources. If you look at the shift of school resources toward meeting these accountability measures...” Durkin begins to trail off. Her school and her district—both of which SFR agreed not to name because she says her criticism is not aimed at them—is like almost all others and could use whatever resources are being sucked up by reporting requirements that go above and beyond what’s necessary. All this from an educator who earned the rating she needed and felt she deserved under the state’s teacher eval-Hanna Skandera, uation matrix that rolled out public education secretary in 2012. Durkin is, in the eyes of the New Mexico Public Education Department, an exemplary teacher. It feels nice, no question. But it doesn’t feel a whole lot different. “What does it mean that I tize our spending on proven, successful got this exemplary rating when I’m the programs; ones that bring real results to same teacher?” she wonders. “Year after districts that embrace them.” year after year I teach the same subject If it were ever true that educators to the same age level of kids. … If we are were on the dole and were rarely, if ever, to innovate and bring schools to a place held accountable for results, it’s certainly that’s going to meet our needs in modnot true now. There’s no money to hand ern society, is accountability how we get out without accompanying hand-wring- there?” ing—the “horrible choices” GoodmachFor Durkin, the answer is no. But she’s er mentioned. And while Martinez and been around long enough to know that Skandera believe compiling data can at the data in the two binders and 710 pages least make sense of the horrible choic- she used to prove her worth to the state es, it’s also clear that New Mexico isn’t should be kept close at hand. There’s aldoing as much as it could with the num- ways next year.
What gets measured, gets done. And data is really an incredible tool to inform instruction. Data that’s not used is not a good tool.
What else do lawmakers want to do with public education?
THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND … AND ROUND AND ROUND House Bill 47 would extend the recommended life for everyday school buses to 15 years. It’s currently at 12 years. By adding three years to the useful life of the big yellow taxis, the state delays having to spend $17.3 million on 204 buses. Rep. Dennis Roch, R-Logan, says the Legislative Education Study Committee was all in favor of the move and that the replacement cycle for buses takes into account maintenance costs and mechanical evaluations that can hammer buses that drive rural routes. Safety first, he says. “We were very, very careful about that.” “It’s not like we’re saying there’s some magic number of 12 and once that passes, the bus is unsafe,” Roch says. Activity buses in the state are allowed to age up to 20 years. “We’re sending kids out on 15-, 18-year-old buses now. And hundreds of miles away.”
ANOTHER RUN AT THE WINDMILL FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION This might be the year. House Joint Resolution 1 is an ambitious plan to increase the annual distribution from New Mexico’s Land Grant Permanent Fund, which was created in the Constitution to fund schools forever and is currently at a whopping $15 billion. The increase is 1 percent, with two years of that payout giving K-12 schools a budget boost of roughly $130 million before the money goes entirely to early childhood education programs. The additional distribution would be permanent. That’s likely to raise the hackles of lawmakers who point out that, despite sometimes well-meaning advocates who call it a “rainy-day fund,” the money in the Land Grant Permanent Fund is supposed to be, well, permanent. The State Investment Council has steadfastly warned legislators against expecting unreasonably high returns to justify spending a larger percentage of the fund. The proposal passed its first committee this week on a party-line vote, with Democrats supporting it and Republicans in opposition.
DOUBLE-SECRET PROBATION FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS House Bill 46, sponsored by Rep. Christine Trujillo, D-Albuquerque, would put a moratorium on new charter schools until 2020. The alternative schools have been a big hit with some lawmakers and are a particular favorite of Hanna Skandera, the Secretary of Public Education, who says they foster innovation. The bill is only 24 words long, but that may be 24 words too many for the governor, who wields the veto pen. Still, Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Veronica Garcia says the moratorium makes sense in a tight budget environment. “When you look at the charters, they’re like little districts, right? … Would anybody say, ‘Hey, let’s create a new small school district of 125-200 kids’ right now? They would think you’re crazy. So why would we allow charters? We don’t have that money right now.”

It’s pretty simple: Event attendees write down their favorite charities and toss them in a hat. Three are selected at random, at which point they hear a brief presentation on each and then pick one for donations. The idea is that if 100 women each pony up that kind of dough, they’ll make the $10K no prob. Don’t have $100? No biggie—just bring other ladies for your team and split the cost.

Collective Talent A new collective presents a new artist Need help making it through the feels you are undoubtedly having about all these changes happening in the world? Experience art. And you can get both your aural and visual fix at the Wonky Art Show this Friday. The opening party is hosted by Outstanding Citizen Collective, a new locally based group of beat makers, emcees and visual artists. Collective member Zach Maloof says this is a group of artists who are about supporting other artists. “We try to highlight all of the members’ skills, and we try to share our skills with each other in order to build our community,” he tells SFR. Outstanding Citizen Collective even reaches outside New Mexico into parts of Colorado and Arizona, where some members have relocated. But, Maloof says, “everyone in the collective is a Santa Fe native.” This opening is one of the very first ventures by the crew and features visual works on canvas by collective member Zac Hyde, aka Wonky, an artist inspired by graffiti and the history of different graffiti styles. “I heavily got into graffiti lettering and style and where these styles come from,” Hyde says. “I apply a lot of what I am learning to what I happen to be working on in the moment.”
This artist can find inspiration in something as small as one letter. “I take words that I like to start with,” he tells SFR, “but I may erase it and spell it in a different way, or throw some letters out and toss some letters in. It’s not really about the word itself, it’s about the aesthetic.” Hyde’s aesthetic aptitude is quite clear when observing his work’s geometric forms, flow and intricate backgrounds. “It is a name that I write, but I don’t want just that name to be in your face,” Hyde says. “I want to create a fluid background that the name can sit and sort of blend into.” The reception doubles as a concert with hip-hop performances from collective members like Wolfman Jack, Benzo and Maloof himself (as OG Willikers). “We have two DJs doing low-key sets; there will be a little bit of rhyming there too,” Maloof says. DJs Cap and Sagga Liffik provide said low-key sets as you appreciate the artistic value of graf-art. Word. (Maria Egolf-Romero) WONKY ART SHOW OPENING PARTY 5-11 pm Friday Feb. 3. Free.

King Volume Records shares the love
T
here exists across the globe a network of creators who produce audio and visual works for the sheer joy of art and a desire to to share the fruits of their labor with like-minded people. Among them you’ll find King Volume Records, a collaborative project between Los Angeles-based artist/musician/writer Chris Allison and Santa Fe artist/musician Todd Ryan White. These guys don’t care about the money; they care about the product and sharing it with as wide an audience as possible. Earlier this winter, White and Allison curated and launched the first King Volume box set containing cassettes from Allison’s band, Lord Loud as well as Lord Mountain from Santa Rosa, California, and Brooklyn’s Dead Things—plus pins, stickers and download codes for each. They sold out fast. It would ultimately be fair to define these bands as “metal” (the term is broad, to say the least), though when it comes down to the intricacies of each, there is nuance. Think elements of psychedelic garage rock like fuzzy guitars and heaviness, but also slight pop sensibilities and a less-than-serious vibe. Mostly, the music is fun and pretty much anyone can get into it. The bands share certain stylistic choices, but there is variety and, if we’re lucky, maybe even the kind of jams that’ll change some minds about heavier fare.

“It’s pretty accessible music,” White says. “I think I really enjoy extreme music, but when it comes to the experience of wanting to represent music, I want to have open possibilities.” Thus far, these possibilities have included the aforementioned box set, and future collections will adhere to a seasonal schedule (that means four sets and 12 bands per year) and a broader scope, geographically speaking. Preorders for King Volume’s springtime release begin today, Feb. 1, and White says they expect to ship in late February or early March. With cassettes from Russia’s Sonic Death, Norway’s Steinsopp and Oakland’s Mesmer, the variety expands even further, and those who order will get all the goodies listed above. For White, King Volume is not only a means to showcase bands he’s excited about. It’s about spreading collaborative artworks as far as he can. Members from bands on the label create and design their own album art, either alone or in conjunction with White. “We’re really just having fun, and it’s this great format for mixing art and music, which has always been my most important goal as an artist and as a musician,” he says. “[The box sets] are also really limited, which we’re hoping will create collectors who want to have everything we put out, and that also

keeps it manageable. … You get artwork and something physical, plus the download code, so you’re taking something physical away with you and we also get to share the art.” At $20 apiece, it’s affordable, too, and the point doesn’t have anything to do with making money. And though White doesn’t want to give too much away at the moment, subsequent sets will include South African bands and eventually, he hopes, a continental set with artists from all seven continents. “I don’t know how we’ll do Antarctica, but we’re going to try,” he says, only half-joking.

Subsequent sets will follow a similar $16 early presale/$20 after official release structure, and you can believe it’s a serious-ass value. White says that we can also expect King Volume’s debut vinyl release, the forthcoming Pasé Paranoia by Lord Loud, to be available in the not-too-distant future. “We’re always told the music industry is dying, but bands have never been more creative or engaged,” says White. “With just a little bit of vision, you can really be participating in some of the best music ever made without it being difficult and without really worrying about the cost.”

Artworks—and ideas—are reborn in Santa Fe Community Gallery exhibition program BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart
R
od Lambert usually gets about 70 to 100 portfolios when he puts out a call for artists for a Santa Fe Community Gallery show. Breaking the Block: Artists Confront Creative Obstacles, which opened in mid-December, got just over 30 submissions. Lambert, who’s the director of the Santa Fe Arts Commission-funded space, wasn’t surprised. For one, the call went out around the holidays. On the cusp of Thanksgiving gluttony and winter hibernation, the exhibition dared artists to pick up an unfinished work that had been languishing in their studio and finally complete it. “I think artists get blocked for a reason, and they were challenged by this one,” Lambert says. “There was a reluctance from artists to face the fear. The ones that did, they basically took an oath and said, ‘Yeah, I’ve got to do this.’” Since Breaking the Block opened on Dec. 16, Lambert has seen all sorts of creative types pass through in search of inspiration. In a series of exhibition programs on Feb. 8 and 11, two visual artists and a writer will share secrets to conquering creative blocks and seizing control of your artistic practice. The inspiration for Breaking the Block emerged from the painting studio of Lambert’s friend Robb Rael. “He showed me all of this work of his that was stuck somewhere,” Lambert says. “I told him that he should have an exhibit that’s called Fin-
Après
ished Unfinisheds, where he would jump in and complete them.” When Lambert pitched the Finished Unfinisheds idea to the gallery’s advisory committee, a few members mentioned that they’d recently seen the exhibition Unfinished: Thoughts Left Visible at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but the unfinished works from different periods of art history left them in suspense. How would these visual riddles have been resolved? Breaking the Block was an opportunity to present that question and the answer: Photographs of the works in their unfinished states appear next to the completed art. There are about 20 artworks in the show, and many have gone through radical metamorphoses. The outcome of the presidential election provoked Darrell Wilks to transform a colorful mixed media collage into a ghostly white composition bearing the ominous message “DEATH IN A CORNFIELD.” Nolan Winkler remade a portrait of the Irish singer-songwriter Fergus O’Farrell into an abstract vision of the Atlantic Ocean, in response to O’Farrell’s death in February 2016. Francisco Benitez’ placard recounts the long, winding path he’s taken with a large encaustic painting titled “Phaedra and Hippolytus.” In its current manifestaMark Levin cobbled together a sculptural shoe for Breaking the Block; Above: A Greek myth gets an art nouveau revamp in a painting by Francisco Benitez.

Avant tion, three Greek mythological figures are covered in flowing art nouveau patterns, but Benitez writes, “It isn’t over yet.” Next week, the gallery is scheduled to host two workshops aimed at inspiring a new round of re-creations. Albuquerque artists Bruce Warren Davis and Jami Porter Lara present “It’s Never Too Late: Becoming an Artist in Mid-Life” on Feb. 8. Davis, a septuagenarian, had a decades-long career as an architect specializing in passive solar structures. During the economic downturn of 2008, his projects dried up and he went on a hunt for a new creative outlet. “I began to putter. I made light fixtures, I built furniture,” he says. “One day I was painting a piece of furniture, and I began to mix some paint together and it started doing interesting things.” Davis ended up showing a series of small paintings at his friend’s café, and now he’s a sculptor. “Suddenly I was publicly known as an artist,” he says. Lara made a similar leap, at a slightly earlier phase. At 40, she left a job as a consumer advocate (her second career) to attend art school at the University of New Mexico. In the three years since she graduated, Lara found gallery
representation and prepared a solo exhibition that’s about to debut at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC. “For people who think it’s too late for them, I want to talk about how my life experiences have actually been advantages,” Lara says. On Feb. 11, Ariana Lombardi leads a writing workshop called “The Silent Conversation: Methods for Artists to Overcome the Creative Block.” Lombardi, who graduated from the creative writing program at Santa Fe University of Art and Design in 2012, works as a writer, artist and teacher in Guangzhou, China. In her time overseas, she’s sought out ways to creatively empower people across language barriers and cultural differences. “The Silent Conversation” challenges participants to communicate through written dialogues, culminating in a reading. “Everyone gets blocked,” Lombardi says. “When we open our eyes and connect with the community that’s around us, that’s a form of creation. If you’re not someone who considers yourself an artist, you can still propagate community.” IT’S NEVER TOO LATE: BECOMING AN ARTIST IN MID-LIFE 5 pm Wednesday Feb. 8. Free.

I am a 26-year-old heterosexual European man. I have been for four years in a monogamous relationship with my girlfriend. Recently she cheated on me. When she told me what she did, I felt a very strong pain, even stronger than I expected. After a few days of pain, however, I found that the sexual attraction for my girlfriend, instead of decreasing, increased after her adventure. In particular, I am now having a cuckold fantasy. I would like that she tell me everything she did, without sparing any detail, while we have sex, or that we try to play an actual cuckold game where she has sex with someone else in front of me while I give her instructions and tell her exactly what to do. My problem is that I am not sure what her reaction would be if I ask her to play out these fantasies. She feels very guilty and witnessed my pain when she told me she cheated. I fear that talking to her about these fantasies would scare her. I also fear that, as she is feeling guilty, she would say yes, but without really wanting to do this. I also don’t want her to think I liked what she did when she cheated on me. I did not like it, but I would like to relive it in a playful way, in which I have complete control. How do you think I should approach this talk? Which reactions should I expect? How can I make sure that she is really into this if she says yes? -Feeling Obsessed Replicating Treason & Dominating Adulterer Cuckolding, like all fetishes and/or fantasies, is unique to the person and adaptable within particular relationships. But it’s erotic humiliation— of the person being cheated on—that distinguishes cuckolding from hot wifing/husbanding or swinging. The cuck’s partner, aka “the cheater,” is in control, and the cuck gets off on having his nose rubbed—sometimes literally—in the evidence of his partner’s cheating. (That’s the theory, anyway; I’ve gotten lots of letters from women—and some men—who are married to very controlling cucks.) Zooming out: Your reaction to learning you’d been cheated on—pain and shock, quickly followed by increased feelings of lust for your girlfriend—is not uncommon. It’s less common for the cheatee to eroticize the betrayal; a couple may reconnect sexually in the wake of an affair, but rarely does a couple wind up incorporating eroticized infidelity into their sexual repertoire. But in your fantasy, FORTDA, you would be calling the shots, giving instructions, and telling your girlfriend what to do. That’s definitely not a cuckold fantasy, FORTDA, and it may be a revenge fantasy. But a cheating crisis presents a good opportunity for both parties to be completely honest with each other about what they want going forward. And that’s what you should do, FORTDA: Be completely honest. First, make sure your fantasy is an authentic impulse, i.e., it’s a genuine turn-on, unearthed by this revelation, not an excuse to punish your girlfriend for cheating. Make sure this isn’t a revenge fantasy. If it’s a genuine turn-on, FORTDA, share everything: this surprising new turn-on, your own confusion, and your legit concerns (you don’t want her to agree to do it out of guilt, it’s not a license to cheat). She might freak out. She might be into it. She might freak out and then later be into it. (That’s the origin story of most cuckold couples: Husband/BF proposes it; wife/GF freaks out; weeks, months, or years later the wife/GF asks if cuckolding is still on the table.) You can figure out the parameters later, if you decide to explore this at all, but it starts with a conversation. Good luck.
together four years, and during the last year sex has gradually faded away, leaving me alone with my skillful hand (left one). The sexual paralysis is beginning to affect our behaviors. We don’t accept each other anymore. We are starting to mutually ignore. Verbal communication is poor. However, we are exceptional friends. I am good-looking, sociable, fit, and with plenty of semen. Girls are quite interested, but I don’t want to cheat. I don’t believe in monogamy, but my girlfriend could never tolerate betrayal. What the fuck to do? -Literally Outta Order Penis Sometimes a relationship dies but we insist on propping the body up in a corner, LOOP, and pretending it’s still alive. We do this because even if the relationship is dead, our partner isn’t. And we can’t declare the thing dead—we can’t break the fuck up already—without hurting someone we used to have romantic feelings for and may still very much like as a person. So we tiptoe around the decomposing corpse until the stench can’t be ignored any longer. This relationship is dead, LOOP: You no longer accept each other, you ignore each other, and the sex dried up a year ago. On top of all that, LOOP, you don’t believe in monogamy and she can’t tolerate betrayals. Even if your relationship weren’t dead—and if it isn’t dead, LOOP, it’s so close you need to slap a Do Not Resuscitate order on its chart—you two aren’t a match. End the relationship, do your best to salvage the exceptional friendship, and stop letting all that semen go to waste. English is not my mother tongue. Bear with me. I’m bisexual, age 26—I always knew I was, but like many bi girls I ended up with guys. I had a long, serious relationship with a man when I was young and only started exploring my sexuality after I found the guts to leave him. Then I fell in love with a girl. She’s a lesbian, and after a long and hard-fought chase, I finally got her. It’s been two months, I came out to my parents (whom I live with, adults living at home is acceptable in my culture, don’t judge), and they did not exactly welcome the news. But all would seem to be going well: I love a girl, she loves me, my parents let us be. Problem is, I want cock. I want a man to grab me and have sex with me. I’ve had the chance to do it and didn’t, because I wanted to respect the exclusivity of my relationship. My girlfriend knows about my doubts but says they are part of “questioning my non-heterosexuality.” I don’t want to leave her, because she’s my princess and my goddess, and I want to adore her for eternity. But I worry about bad judgment and impulses. Where do I go from here? -Wanting A Dick Those aren’t doubts, WAD. They’re desires. You know what you want: You want your girlfriend, you want cock, you want a man to grab you, and you want to continue questioning—and shaping and defining—your non-heterosexuality. The problem, WAD, isn’t that you don’t know what you want, it’s that you don’t know how to fuse all these wants into a coherent identity. (Possible answer: “bisexual, lesbo-amorous, likely non-monogamous.”) There are plenty of options you and your girlfriend can explore—together or separately. Get a fake cock and use it together. If that doesn’t slake your hunger for cock, maybe your girlfriend would be up for a threesome. If she’s not DTFAGWY (down to fuck a guy with you), discuss whether an open relationship is a possibility down the road. That said, WAD, you and the Princess Goddess you worked so hard to land have only been together two months. If you’re wrecked over your need for cock at this early stage—if you’re not able to focus on her alone at eight weeks— maybe sexual exclusivity isn’t the right choice for you.
I write you from Italy, where I follow you through Internazionale. I am a guy in his 30s sexually paralyzed with his girlfriend. We are

with Bill Hearne
SFR
Since 1970, country musicican Bill Hearne has been winning ‘em over and flat-pickin’ his way into our hearts. Since 1992, he’s done so in the bar at the Hotel La Fonda, La Fiesta Lounge. Hearne celebrates his 25th anniversary there this Tuesday with a veritable cavalcade of surprise guests and that trademarked sound and wit that has won him prestigious honors in SFR’s Best of Santa Fe more than a few times over. (Alex De Vore) Wow. 25 years? How are you feeling about that? I’m feeling pretty humbled, I’ll tell you. It’s just unprecedented, I think. Probably in Santa Fe, anyway. Probably in a lot of places. For somebody to play in the same venue for 25 years I think ... it’s pretty special, so I must be doing something right. And I cannot be more grateful to them. I’ve played lots of other venues, but to be every week for 48 or 49 weeks a year, well, I’m pretty proud of that. We’ve heard rumors that your wife, Bonnie, will make an appearance at the show. Is that true? Y’know, Bonnie had to retire in 2003, but I’ll tell you— she’s fully planning on being there. She’s planning on jumping up with me and singing two or three songs. Vocally, she’s still very respectable. She’s going to be on our new album, the Hearne Family album with my nephew Michael and some other people, but as for this show, I’m at about 99 percent that she’s gonna be there. Any advice for musicians after such a long and storied career? An old curmudgeon friend of mine used to say, ‘Crunch your apples and play your tunes,’ and I think that’s pretty good. Some people disagree with me, but I’ve learned not to get political. I’ve been successful by not taking things personally and I’ve tried to contribute positively. Treat people right and be professional. That’s what’s kept me alive.

Dump Frump I L L U S T R AT I O N S A N D S T O R Y B Y A M Y D AV I S

ike a precious scarce bloom in the arid wasteland of fashion mediocrity, the haute folks—the style friends, the happy-core kids—are few and far between. Fashion is sneered upon as pure vanity and a superfluous surplus of ego, the fodder of the petty bourgeois. Not so, I declare! Style is your best friend. Do not turn frumpy because the world is in upheaval! Frump kills, frump is dangerous; more dangerous than you know. It’ll shrivel your soul and harden your heart, it will smoosh your spirit and it will only attract more frump, more like-minded dark frumpy energies that feed on the age-old slogan, “Frumpery loves company.” Slathered in sad hues of putrid puce, fetid olives and omnipresent muddy ochers, stale cowardice mixed with unwashed froideur create a Sartre-esque hell. There is innate evil in frump. Warm waves of salty ocean licked my knees as I waded into the infinite electric aqua waters of Lanikai. My husband was born in the most spectacularly verdant valley on the island of Oahu, and “unreal” is an apt description. Waterfalls and mountains of bright limey green and glowing emerald kiss your retinas, triple rainbows greet you in a psychedelic splendor and the doves coo in their honeyed soft song. The rich scent of deep fecund earth and sweet bubblegum is everywhere. The sugary essence comes from the tropical blossoms dripping and spilling their perfume into every subatomic particle you inhale. Mist hugs the mountain peaks. “No Exit” indeed from the love and light of Mama Nature. I was overwhelmed with a sense of “I have found the happy!” The people who live here, as well as the visitors, reflect this energy. They exude giddy joie de vivre and absolute fun. The latest crazes, the wildest trends—all embraced with
effervescent glee. Sartre would put down the cigarette and absinthe to dance naked under the bright moonbows without a care for the “Other.” This is why we are here. Honolulu is a virtual ube (ultraviolet-colored sweet potato) ice cream sundae of chic and cutie-patootie delights. High-end couture (Chanel and Balenciaga, et al) to radical street-surf looks. Many tourists from Japan come from the Harajuku district, the epicenter of nano-trends and micro-waves. This area of youth-gone-wild has always had it all: from the overplayed look of Lolita to baby-hued fairy kei; primary rainbow-splashed SpongeBob-esque decora to black-and-white gyaru and mopsy-flopsy vintage dolly kei; politically incorrect ganguro (my fave!) to Muslim Lolita (Lolita with a headscarf?) and on and on. They love overkill and sometimes it verges on cosplay, so be warned. My absolute favorite Japanese micro-trend of the moment is an aerobic dance fever-dipped boy-friendly look called kawaii boys or, as the media calls them, genderless kei. Like a demented phoenix, this wild ’n’ weird trend has risen from the phosphorescent, glitter-strewn ashes of kawaii style. Perhaps it is a male version of kawaii—cute and bright bowl haircuts curling over acid-hued sweatbands in pinks, peaches and purples with jaunty caps and berets and colored contacts and bold lipstick. But back to my secret spots in Honolulu. 88 Tees (88tees.com) is perhaps my favorite shop, bar-none. A frequent stop for kool kid tourists and rock stars, A-Listers and freakazoids, 88 Tees features unique day-glo postmodern wild style fun-as-heck genius tees and the like littering every nook and cranny. With a certain island brilliance I have never once witnessed outside of this postmodern paradise, Trinky, the brainchild and owner, is an absolute genius and has cre-
ated the most delicious boutique. At North Shore-based Happy Haleiwa (happyhaleiwa.net), one of the funnest candy-coated, surf-inspired streetwear spots in town, the hubbie and I snapped up rad poi-themed tees and key rings with slogans like “Enjoy Life One Wave at a Time.” Yup. Can do! LeSportsac and Hawaii have a very special relationship, and I was lucky enough to design a LeSportsac Hawaii exclusive a while back (oh yeah, and four other Amy Davis Artist Editions … shameless plug!). Their newest release is a Hawaii bag dubbed So Ono (ono means “delicious”) and baby, these bags are drool-worthy. White with simple marker drawings of fruity shave ice, traditional coconut puddings called haupia, freshly fried Portuguese donut holes called malasadas, and, of course, spam sushi aka musubi—All on your bag! Really! Joanna Beall of Rebecca Beach (rebeccabeach.com) has a veritable
Bikini by Maui Girl; chocolate-dipped ice cream pendant by Q-Pot; starfish bracelets by Ki-ele; tote bag by Happy Haleiwa; rubbah slippahs by Sanuk footwear
smorgasbord of style crammed into a wee sugar-pie cottage in Kapahulu, a stone’s throw from Waikiki. I grabbed a Race Skelton-designed trucker cap with the pidgin term “Shoots” written across the front. Shoots means: Rats! or Rad! or Hey! or What’s up? But mostly shoots means shoots. Say it in a falsetto for true effect when the waves are really big. Shoots is as local as the Chicken Lau Lau at Highway Inn or the mayo-laden California roll at the long-gone Pee Wee Drive-In. This quaint, spiffy shop is highend and local at the same time. After munching down on some hoji (roasted tea) ice cream, I dipped into Moni Honolulu (instagram.com/ monihonolulu) in Waikiki where I found the weirdest tan Snoopy bags. I mean, all the Peanuts kids were tan. It was so wrong that I couldn’t leave the boutique. They put ’em on beach towels, totes, iPhone cases, coffee cups … so stupid, but stupid-fresh! I wanted it all (still do), but I treated myself to a tote with the bronze beagle kissing a Coppertone Lucy. There is always a choice in life. We have it daily and at every millisecond. Judging and pointing your knobby fingers at the “Other” and murmuring that “Hell is people,” suddenly—voila! There really will be “No Exit” for you in this life. You will always be sad, mad and a big old frumpy meanie-poo. Why not rise above? Why not choose to be truly happy, to live as joyfully as possible in very uncertain times? I say, choose the hard one: Smile. Be uber-cool, cuz people are petrified. They need a big chunk of love. Even if they frustrate you, be kind. Kindness is the greatest wisdom, so says my fortune cookie. In the islands, the word aloha means hello, goodbye, love and compassion. Aloha is also a way to live, a joyful sharing of life energy in the present. This is the gift: To be completely present in this moment. Aloha also means to sparkle and sour and create, to ferment all of life’s gifts and challenges in a way that makes something wonderfully pickled and magically unique that uplifts and inspires. And finally, the oldest Hawaiian meaning of aloha is “God in us.” Adios means “to God;” they are similar, no? And with that I move onwards to a new life path. You can find me instead on my website, amydavis.com. With aloha, I bid adios to SFR and my fab style fiends of Santa Fe. You have all turned away from frump and have chosen to shine way bright—blindingly, even—and I see you. I see you in your colors and panache and shimmering clouds of giggles as I pass you in the probiotics section of Whole Foods. I sigh and smile and know my job is done.

SELFIE
FOOD
Garnish your cauliflower soup how you will—like with piñon.
Yes, SOUP
FOR YOU!
BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m
W
alking around the Santa Fe Community Convention Center on the snowy Saturday of the Souper Bowl, I wanted to ask every chef: “How did you do this?” But there were so many soups at The Food Depot’s annual fundraiser, and so little time. So I bought a copy of cookbook at the event (You can get one at thefooddepot.org/store). You can also buy an insert of this year’s new recipes to add to your previous edition for $8. Not bad). Unfortunately, two of my favorites weren’t in the book! Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen (1512 Pacheco St., 795-7383) wouldn’t give us the recipe for its best-of-show Thai-Cambodian coconut chicken soup. Quit hoarding, people! I loved the way that soup’s layers of flavors just kept going and going. I also loved the bacon-topped chowder from Terra Restaurant at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado (198 State Rd. 592, 946-5800), which was voted the Best Cream Soup, but the restaurant didn’t get its recipe in before the cookbook’s deadline. In my opinion, the green chile corn chowder was a brilliant strategic move by Terra. The pile of sweet, salty, fatty chili bacon (Editor’s note: Yes, the other chili) that garnished each tasting cup was a flavor bomb that
outgunned nearly everyone. (Actually, Terra got the most votes of any entry, but Sweetwater collected more votes for Best Overall Soup.) We’re hooking you up with that yummalicious recipe and The Palace Restaurant and Saloon’s (142 W Palace Ave., 428-0690) cauliflower soup, which took the top award in the very competitive vegetarian category. What chefs Jen and Evan Doughty didn’t include in that recipe is the swirl of truffle oil that garnished each little taster at the event. I think it’s essential. Don’t skip it. SOUPER BOWL 2017: BEST CREAM SOUP GREEN CHILE AND CORN CHOWDER WITH CHILI CANDIED BACON AND CILANTRO PESTO By Executive Sous Chef Kevin Walsh Terra Restaurant at Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Serves 4-6 • 4 ears of corn grilled in the husk, kernels removed (save the cobs!) • 2 shallots, roughly chopped • 3 garlic cloves • 1/2 cup medium-heat green chiles, roasted, peeled and chopped • 2 celery stalks, diced • 1 poblano pepper, diced • 1 red bell pepper, diced • 1 quart heavy cream • 4 bacon strips, sliced and cooked until crisp • 1 medium Idaho potato, diced • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• ¼ cup polenta • 1/2 quart corn stock (recipe below)
For the soup: Start by cooking the bacon in a large pot until the bacon is crispy. Add the shallots, garlic and celery and saute until tender. Add your chiles, peppers and potatoes with the cream, corn, corn stock and turmeric. Simmer for 45 minutes. Then, add the dry polenta. This will thicken the soup and add more corn flavor. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with candied bacon and cilantro pesto and enjoy!
Corn stock: • 4 corn cobs • 2 shallots • 2 garlic cloves • 2 rosemary sprigs • 1 quart water Place all ingredients for the stock in a stock pot and simmer for one hour and strain.
SOUPER BOWL 2017: BEST VEGETARIAN SOUP
Candied bacon: • 5 strips bacon • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 1/4 cup chili powder
CAULIFLOWER SOUP
Place bacon onto a cookie sheet. Mix the brown sugar and chili powder. Sprinkle sugar chili mix over bacon evenly and press lightly to make sure mix sticks to the bacon. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the bacon is cooked, but sugar mix is not burned. Cool and chop. Cilantro pesto: • 1 bunch cilantro, stems and leaves • 2 garlic cloves • 1 small shallot • 1 tablespoon lime juice • ¼ cup olive oil • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese • ¼ jalapeño Place all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
By Chefs Jen and Evan Doughty The Palace Restaurant and Saloon Serves 8 • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1 large yellow onion, diced • 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced • 1 head cauliflower, chopped • 4 cups half-and-half • Salt and pepper Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the diced onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the cauliflower and continue to cook 3-4 minutes. Add enough halfand-half to cover the vegetables and bring to a simmer. Cook until the cauliflower is very soft. Working in batches, if necessary, blend the soup in a blender until very smooth. Return the soup to the pot and adjust the thickness with half-and-half, if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Iranian director Asghar Farhadi (A Separation) has been the recipient of much praise for his newest movie, The Salesman, but it’s difficult to understand why. We follow Rana and Emad Etesami (Taraneh Alidootsi and Shahab Hosseini), a young couple acting in a production of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman who unknowingly rent an apartment formerly inhabited by a prostitute. Rana is attacked in their home by a man looking for its former tenant, and Emad sets out to figure out who he was and how to exact revenge. It sounds like a relatively exciting premise, but it plays out as anything but. As the plot unfolds at sub-snail speed and Emad descends further into obsession—even at the potential cost of his relationship with his wife—we can’t help but wonder why they won’t, oh, I don’t know, call the police or something.

SHOT
-- OH MY GOD,
IT’S SO BORING
Rana seems to be stuck in a shame spiral, not wanting her neighbors or friends to perceive her as weak, and though we might assume this has something to do with cultural translation, it mostly leads to more questions: Why wouldn’t she want support? Why won’t Emad at least try to understand her wishes rather than ignore her at every turn in his own quest for answers? Why would anyone presume to tell an attack victim how to feel? At a certain point, it isn’t even about justice so much as it’s about Emad’s misguided need to slake his revenge thirst, but even as he closes in on the attacker, the pacing is so painfully slow that we simply begin to not care. The Salesman is currently up for a Best For-
eign Language Film Oscar but, and we’re just being honest here, that’s a tough pill to swallow given how boring it gets. As of this writing, Farhadi won’t be able attend the Academy Awards thanks to our idiot prezzie, and that’s some serious bullshit. But, if we’re just talkin’ the movie itself here, most people probably won’t like it unless they’re the kind of person who pretends they like boring movies so their friends think they’re smart.

++ MICHAEL KEATON; SECRET HISTORY IS FUN
-- DRAGS; NOBODY IS LIKABLE
Everyone has eaten at a McDonald’s at least once, but the actual story of how the mega-chain came to exist within a few miles of wherever you happen to be right now is slightly darker than the family-friendly style they’re selling. And even if you know the name Ray Kroc—the famous CEO of McDonald’s—from whatever secondhand history lesson, The Founder gives us the unabashedly true history of his rise to fast food billionaire: He was a blindly ambitious bastard who didn’t really care who he stole from or hurt as he single-mindedly pursued his own distorted version of success. Michael Keaton practically disappears into Kroc, and we almost root for him as the film begins. But as he devolves from seemingly decent man into megalomaniacal cutthroat, even his wife Ethel (Laura Dern) is forced to ask him when enough will be enough. “Honestly?” he asks. “Probably never.” It’s our first clue that his desire to be a big shot borders on an unhealthy obsession. When Kroc happens upon Dick and Mac McDonald (Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch) sell-

is seemingly nothing he won’t do, even stealing a franchisee’s wife (Freaks and Geeks’ Linda Cardinelli) while inwardly believing himself to be the hero of his own story. Though interesting enough as a semi-unknown piece of Americana, The Founder tends to lag, dwelling too long on certain elements

and flat-out glossing over others. If the goal was for us to understand Kroc’s behavior, we simply don’t. As a cautionary fable on the dangers of business and the aggressively ambitious, however, it’s perfectly fine—just don’t expect to feel much of anything for its key players.

++ WELL-ACTED; QUIETLY BEAUTIFUL -- WEAK ENDING; NOT FOR THE IMPATIENT
When I was a kid, my aunt bought an 1980s-era Mercedes; her dream car, and I started to notice them everywhere. A similar catalyst occurs in the life of Paterson (Star Wars’ Adam Driver) in the new film Paterson from auteur Jim Jarmusch (Only Lovers Left Alive, Dead Man), a sort of love letter to the New Jersey city of the same name, but also an examination of the enormity hidden in everyday human existence. The mere suggestion of twins from Paterson’s live-in girlfriend Laura (Golshifteh Farahani) causes him to notice similar pairs everywhere, and it’s like a doorway to his constant observation of the beauty discoverable within the commonplace or mundane.

Paterson carries with him what he calls a “secret notebook” which he fills with poems based on the seemingly inconsequential moments and objects found in his day-to-day. Something as simple as a box of matches flips a switch in Paterson’s mind, causing him to draw connections between the potentially ignited match and an almost painful love for Laura. Yet Paterson isn’t exactly what you’d call emotional, nor does he appear willing to open up to anyone. It’s almost as if he were taught long ago to never rock the boat. Jarmusch hides clues from his past throughout the film, such as a photo of Paterson in a Marines uniform or an obsession with the poet William Carlos Williams, whom we learn also hails from Paterson, but our hero seems more content to quietly drink in the world moving around him rather than engage or affect it in any particular way. It’s almost unnerving at first, but as coworkers complain and former lovers clash and his girlfriend perpetually changes her dream from interior decorator to country music superstar to cupcake master, we begin to appreciate his introverted nature for its dignified simplicity; Paterson is a good man. There’s a comfort in his soft existence, and though Paterson ends with a whimper—and it would have been helpful to get a clearer idea of his origins—Jarmusch has tapped into an often-overlooked type of storytelling that favors relating a simple tale told well over spectacle or, even worse, the assumption that audiences can’t enjoy a film without nonstop explosions or CGI. Of course, that’s kind of Jarmusch’s whole deal, but whereas previous films in his repertoire have had some sort of borderline fantastic element lurking in the background (like vampires or mistaken identity), Paterson is a patiently executed microcosm that serves to remind us how sometimes the most beautiful minds toil in obscurity.

++ HISTORIC PHOTOS ADD TO SENSE OF CONTEXT
-- PUT DOWN THE SALEM, MOM
Jamie isn’t your average teenage boy raised by a single mom and coming of age in 1979. Or maybe he is. We join the unorthodox family in 20th Century Women as Jamie’s mom Dorothea (Annette Bening) is riddled with insecurity when she suddenly realizes she knows her teenage son (Lucas Jade Zumann) less every day. So she enlists the help of seemingly every friend the two can claim. This includes their two housemates—Abbie (Greta Gerwig), a punk-

rock feminist with a killer record collection, and William (Billy Crudup), a hot hippie handyman with a sensitive streak. She also recruits Julie (Elle Fanning), Jamie’s longtime friend. Together, they forge a sort of Montessori school wherein Jamie gets all kinds of manbuilding experiences and some straight-up doses of Life Ain’t Easy. We were relieved Dorothea’s character comes across more like a real person than the over-dramatized TV mom she threatened to be. We want to be invited to one of her dinner parties. We admire her tenacity. Her deeply wrinkled, mostly make-up-free face annotates the raw pain of her aloneness. As Jamie begins the move from boy to man, she’s more aware that there’s not one in her life. It’s tiresome, though, to always see Dorothea with a cigarette clamped between two fingers. We get it—people smoked all the time and wherever they wanted in the ’70s. Just maybe make it feel less like a dramatic crutch so we can laugh harder when she has to sneak one during William’s attempt to teach her how to meditate. It makes us sigh with relief when Julie tries to teach Jamie how to “look cool” and he replies, after a few minutes of failed lessons: “Smoking’s gross.” Some other jokes in this film elicit laughs not because you see, but because you know. What diagrams does Jamie see in his new copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves? What happens when he explains his newfound knowledge of the clitoris
to his high-school peers? In the end, it’s clear they’re all raising each other—but then again, we kind of all are. (Julie Ann Grimm) CCA, Violet Crown, R, 119 min.

++ IMPORTANT HISTORY -- SOMETIMES HEAVY-HANDED
Here’s the thing—it’s kind of hard to not like Hidden Figures, at least insofar as it’s the simultaneous story of uncredited black women who were so awesome at their jobs that they literally made safe space flight possible, yet they were treated so poorly amidst the racist atmosphere of 1960s Virginia that we’re all kind of like, “What the hell, man?!” That said, the overall tone seems a tad breezy for the subject matter. It could be that director/screenwriter Theodore Melfi wanted to tell the story, which was based on the book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly, in a palatable fashion, but you just know that the actual story was far more intense. We mostly follow Katherine Goble/Johnson (Taraji P Henson), a lifelong math ultra-genius who works as a human computer for the space program at NASA with dozens of other black women. Along with her close friends/fellow NASA employees Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe), Katherine attempts to deduce the incredibly complex science needed to launch John Glenn
into space. Of course, it’s the ’60s, and white people are basically the absolute worst, so even though Katherine can do any math that comes her way and Dorothy teaches her damn self how to program NASA’s newly-minted (and roomsized) IBM supercomputer and Mary is some kind of goddamn engineering phenom, they have to fight some pretty nasty racism on the part of people like lead engineer Paul Stafford (The Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons) and supervisor Vivian Mitchell (a perfectly condescending and bitchy Kirsten Dunst). Henson’s performance exists in the sweet spot between vulnerable mother and widow and complete badass, unafraid to excel at math or to fight for her race and gender. And though Spencer and Monáe prove indispensable to the pacing and overall feel of Hidden Figures, some of the impact of the real-world achievements made by the women they portray winds up dissipated as they’re relegated to periodic bits of comic relief. Still, it is Katherine’s story, and there’s much to enjoy here. The sting of racism cuts deep even now, and we must never forget that these people literally had to be complete geniuses and fight their asses off to receive even a modicum of respect. Don’t be surprised if Hidden Figures becomes required viewing for students down the road at some point and, we hope, we start to get other films about the incredible people of color throughout history who perhaps didn’t get the recognition they so obviously deserved.

++ IT’S A GIRL HUNTING WITH AN EFFING EAGLE
-- WE MAY NOT GET THE WHOLE STORY
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 ice-covered steppes of Mongolia in The Eagle Huntress, which has to be the girlpower 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.

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 selfdiscovery that will leave viewers captivated by Chiron’s character long after the film is over.

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 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. (JAG) Violet Crown, G, subtitles, 87 min

They were placed into a foster a couple of weeks apart where they bonded. FELV suppresses the immune system and is specific to felines. It cannot be transmitted to other animal species or to humans.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny
Week of February 1st
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Once upon a time, Calvin of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip made this bold declaration: “Happiness isn’t good enough for me! I demand euphoria!” Given your current astrological aspects, Aries, I think you have every right to invoke that battle cry yourself. From what I can tell, there’s a party underway inside your head. And I’m pretty sure it’s a healthy bash, not a decadent debacle. The bliss it stirs up will be authentic, not contrived. The release and relief it triggers won’t be trivial and transitory, but will generate at least one long-lasting breakthrough.
collaborators averaged one album per year. But when Mothersbaugh started writing soundtracks for the weekly TV show Pee-Wee’s Playhouse, his process went into overdrive. He typically wrote an entire show’s worth of music each Wednesday and recorded it each Thursday. I suspect you have that level of creative verve right now, Libra. Use it wisely! If you’re not an artist, channel it into the area of your life that most needs to be refreshed or reinvented.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The coming weeks will be an excellent time to ask for favors. I think you will be exceptionally adept at seeking out people who can actually help you. Furthermore, those from whom you request help will be more receptive than usual. Finally, your timing is likely to be close to impeccable. Here’s a tip to aid your efforts: A new study suggests that people are more inclined to be agreeable to your appeals if you address their right ears rather than their left ears. (More info: tinyurl.com/intherightear) GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Here are your five words of power for the next two weeks, Gemini. 1. Unscramble. Invoke this verb with regal confidence as you banish chaos and restore order. 2. Purify. Be inspired to cleanse your motivations and clarify your intentions. 3. Reach. Act as if you have a mandate to stretch out, expand, and extend yourself to arrive in the right place. 4. Rollick. Chant this magic word as you activate your drive to be lively, carefree, and frolicsome. 5. Blithe. Don’t take anything too personally, too seriously, or too literally. CANCER (June 21-July 22) The 17th-century German alchemist Hennig Brand collected 1,500 gallons of urine from beer-drinkers, then cooked and re-cooked it till it achieved the “consistency of honey.” Why? He thought his experiment would eventually yield large quantities of gold. It didn’t, of course. But along the way, he accidentally produced a substance of great value: phosphorus. It was the first time anyone had created a pure form of it. So in a sense, Brand “discovered” it. Today phosphorus is widely used in fertilizers, water treatment, steel production, detergents, and food processing. I bring this to your attention, my fellow Cancerian, because I suspect you will soon have a metaphorically similar experience. Your attempt to create a beneficial new asset will not generate exactly what you wanted, but will nevertheless yield a useful result. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In the documentary movie Catfish, the directors, Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, present a metaphor drawn from the fishing industry. They say that Asian suppliers used to put live codfish in tanks and send them to overseas markets. It was only upon arrival that the fish would be processed into food. But there was a problem: Because the cod were so sluggish during the long trips, their meat was mushy and tasteless. The solution? Add catfish to the tanks. That energized the cod and ultimately made them more flavorful. Moral of the story, according to Joost and Schulman: Like the cod, humans need catfish-like companions to stimulate them and keep them sharp. Do you have enough influences like that in your life, Leo? Now is a good time to make sure you do.
EVOLUTIONARY ASTROLOGER TERRI ZEE has SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Many vintage American songs remain available today because of the pioneering recently moved to Santa Fe and is now welcoming new clients. musicologist, John Lomax. In the first half of the 20th She is certified by both schools century, he traveled widely to track down and record obscure cowboy ballads, folk songs, and traditional of Evolutionary Astrology, African American tunes. “Home on the Range” was a Steven Forrest’s Apprenticeship prime example of his many discoveries. He learned Program, and Jeffrey Wolf that song, often referred to as “the anthem of the Green’s School of Evolutionary American West,” from a black saloonkeeper in Texas. I Astrology. Terri has over suggest we make Lomax a role model for you Scorpios seventeen years of experience in during the coming weeks. It’s an excellent time to preserve and protect the parts of your past that are worth soul-based astrology and offers taking with you into the future. consultation either in person or via Skype. Please visit her SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The mountain won’t website http://terrizee.com/ or come to you. It will not acquire the supernatural power to drag itself over to where you are, bend its craggy peak email zee2@airmail.net or call down to your level, and give you a free ride as it returns 214-912-3126. to its erect position. So what will you do? Moan and wail in frustration? Retreat into a knot of helpless indignation and sadness? Please don’t. Instead, stop hoping for the mountain to do the impossible. Set off on a journey to the remote, majestic pinnacle with a fierce song in your determined heart. Pace yourself. Doggedly master the art of slow, incremental magic. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Who can run faster, a person or a horse? There’s evidence that under certain circumstances, a human can prevail. In June of every year since 1980, the Man Versus Horse Marathon has taken place in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. The route of the race weaves 22 miles through marsh, bogs, and hills. On two occasions, a human has outpaced all the horses. According to my astrological analysis, you Capricorns will have that level of animalistic power during the coming weeks. It may not take the form of foot speed, but it will be available as stamina, energy, vitality, and instinctual savvy. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Who would have guessed that Aquarian Charles Darwin, the pioneering theorist of evolution, had a playful streak? Once he placed a male flower’s pollen under a glass along with an unfertilized female flower to see if anything interesting would happen. “That’s a fool’s experiment,” he confessed to a colleague. “But I love fools’ experiments. I am always making them.” Now would be an excellent time for you to consider trying some fools’ experiments of your own, Aquarius. I bet at least one of them will turn out to be both fun and productive.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) In Shakespeare’s play MacBeth, three witches brew up a spell in a cauldron. Among the ingredients they throw in there is the “eye of newt.” Many modern people assume this refers to the optical organ of a salamander, but it doesn’t. It’s VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) The city of Boston allows actually an archaic term for “mustard seed.” When I an arts organization called Mass Poetry to stencil told my Piscean friend John about this, he said, “Damn! poems on sidewalks. The legal graffiti is done with a special paint that remains invisible until it gets wet. So Now I know why Jessica didn’t fall in love with me.” He if you’re a pedestrian trudging through the streets as it was making a joke about how the love spell he’d tried starts to rain, you may suddenly behold, emerging from hadn’t worked. Let’s use this as a teaching story, the blank grey concrete, Langston Hughes’ poem “Still Pisces. Could it be that one of your efforts failed because it lacked some of the correct ingredients? Did Here” or Fred Marchant’s “Pear Tree In Flower.” I you perhaps have a misunderstanding about the eleforesee a metaphorically similar development in your ments you needed for a successful outcome? if so, corlife, Virgo: a pleasant and educational surprise arising rect your approach and try again. unexpectedly out of the vacant blahs. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) When he was in the rock band Homework: Even if you don’t send it, write a letter to the Devo, Mark Mothersbaugh took his time composing and person you admire most. Share it with me at recording new music. From 1978 to 1984, he and his Truthrooster@gmail.com.
