Maybe it was the boring house music, or maybe it was the fact that the venue was actually a gym, but there was something very high-school-prom about Meow Wolf’s whole New Year’s party this year. And at a $40 cover, it wasn’t cute.

Let me just say, I’m not a hater. I’ve been to the House of Eternal Return 11 times. I’ve been a huge supporter of what you [Meow Wolf] do, but I also think the time has come to admit you’re getting too big for your britches.

It honestly felt very smug.

It felt like you knew that you could put your brand on anything and we would turn up with cash in hand, that you could charge $11 for the tiniest splash of Champagne and we would line up for it. And I guess you were right; we did.

But I’d like to offer you this challenge: We’ve given you our accolades and our money, now it’s time for you to hear our criticism. Even in a big city, the fun New Year’s parties don’t even cost half that and usually involve a free Champagne toast at midnight. Don’t assume you are the only party in town. There are a lot of people in this town doing a lot of fun things. Remember, you first made a name for yourself by exceeding our expectations. If you think now is the time for you to rest on your laurels, you’ve got it twisted. Now is your chance to really impress us, but I’ll admit I’m gonna be skeptical.

For readers thinking that yellowfin tuna was long ago deemed “dolphin-safe,” you are in for a shock. With loopholes in international law, big enough for trawlers to pass through, 95 percent of yellowfins sold in the US are actually associated with high dolphin mortality rates (according to Marine Science Today). Since yellowfins tend to congregate under schools of dolphins for “protection” from predators, trawler captains exploit this very relationship to pinpoint their location.

This accounts for the simultaneous massacre of both species.

By the Hour Hundreds of thousands in public money flows to private attorney, but Gov. Martinez’ staff won’t say how much

BY J E F F P RO CTO R j e f f p r o c t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

G

ov. Susana Martinez’ administration continues to insist on keeping secret how much taxpayer money has flowed to a well-connected Albuquerque attorney who frequently represents the governor in court. And that’s despite a determination from the state attorney general that withholding the information breaks the law.

SFR has sought to pry attorney Paul Kennedy’s billing records out of the state since late 2012. Officials sent journalists working for this newspaper on a wild goose chase to various government departments, claimed records didn’t exist or can’t be released because of the attorney-client privilege and, most recently, cited a state law most commonly used to protect confidential settlement amounts.

Taken together, the state’s incomplete, untimely responses to SFR’s records requests and the withholding of Kennedy’s payment amounts violated the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA). That’s according to lawyers in the office of Attorney General Hector Balderas, who is responsible for enforcing IPRA and the state’s other transparency laws.

Martinez’ General Services Department (GSD) “violated the IPRA by failing to properly respond to IPRA requests and by refusing to provide responsive records which are subject to inspection,” Deputy Attorney General Joseph Dworak wrote to Alexis Johnson, general counsel for GSD, in a letter dated Dec. 15.

Dworak’s letter came five months after SFR filed a complaint with the attorney general over the administration’s most recent refusal to disclose how much Kennedy has been paid. It continued: GSD “should have provided, at minimum, copies of the billing records requested with redaction of specific details of the attorney services which constitute attorney-client privilege information.”

nor has settled lawsuits for alleged IPRA violations, but not until he has blacked out information he deems protected by the attorney-client privilege.

And he refuses to release any of Kennedy’s billing records related to SFR’s lawsuit, scheduled for trial in late March.

Johnson claims state law requires him to withhold any documents associated with “open” cases until six months after they are closed.

However, GSD already has provided contracts spelling out Kennedy’s scope of work and payment for the two closed IPRA cases and for this newspaper’s case.

Those documents show Kennedy has been awarded $850,000 in sole-source contracts to represent the governor at an

Kennedy is close to the governor and was once Martinez’ choice for a seat on the New Mexico Supreme Court. She has hired him to push back on allegations that state officials doctored emergency food assistance applications, public records lawsuits and other controversial matters in court, although when SFR asked for information about all the cases he is involved in on the state’s behalf, officials did not identify all of them.

One of those public records cases was filed in 2013 by this newspaper. Kennedy is Martinez’ outside lawyer in that case and has argued strongly for her right to keep records under wraps.

Responding to an email from SFR this week, Kennedy said he was “not authorized to comment at this time.”

It is not uncommon for governors, mayors and other top elected officials to hire outside attorneys, even though they employ staff attorneys who draw government salaries. Complex, legally difficult cases can stretch government legal staffs.

That often leads to contract work for private attorneys representing officials.

Citizens have likely shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars for Kennedy’s legal work during the past several years, according to the state’s transparency website and conversations with former Martinez administration officials.

But how many hours he and other attorneys at his firm have worked, what they’ve done and exactly how much they’ve been paid is anyone’s guess.

That’s because GSD has not turned over any records indicating how much state money has gone to Kennedy and his firm. Johnson, the GSD attorney, promised in a letter on Jan. 13 to turn ANSON STEVENS-BOLLEN over records from two cases in which the gover-

hourly rate of $250 for his work and $150 an hour for less experienced attorneys at his firm.

The state’s Sunshine Portal database, which Martinez touts as a transparency tool, does not match the records GSD has turned over to SFR. It shows contracts in at least four other cases for Kennedy, including the food assistance fraud case. Kennedy, the database shows, was awarded $716,633 in contracts between September 2013 and June 2016—far less than the amount shown just in the three contracts the state has turned over—and that he was paid $413,528 during that time.

SFR cannot independently verify those figures.

The city of Santa Fe has a different take on letting the public see how much money is being spent on outside attorattor neys.

Bernadette Romero, the city’s records custodian, said she releases bills for concon tract attorneys in response to IPRA rere quests—but only after redacting informainforma tion that would, for example, reveal legal strategies. No matter what stage of litigalitiga tion a case is in, Santa Fe officials believe the amounts of money paid, the dates of service and the hours worked are public record.

“When it comes to taxpayer dollars, the people have a right to know what it’s being spent on,” Romero said. “We just go ahead and release the amounts when people ask.”

Deputy AG Dworak, in his letter to Johnson, pointed out that whether the government’s outside legal bills are pubpub lic records has never been litigated under IPRA. But Dworak cited a New Mexico case in which the Northern Rio Arriba Electric Cooperative was forced to show its outside legal bills to shareholders. He also cited cases in state and federal courts around the country in which courts forced government entities to release records that showed the amounts of money paid for outside legal services—although not detailed narratives that could give away ofof ficials’ legal strategies.

Dworak concluded his legal analysis this way: “We believe that this persuasive author authority would lead a New Mexico court to find [GSD’s] blanket inin vocation of the excep exception to hold records im improper.”

Santa Feans lined up before the City Council with a clear message.

Cash Withdrawal Grassroots movement urges city to divest from Wells Fargo, which funds Dakota Access Pipeline

BY STEVEN HSIEH s t e v e n @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

C

ome the fall, the city government could sever ties with a bank that’s helping to fund the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Santa Fe in 2013 approved a four-year contract with Wells Fargo, agreeing to pay the bank about $449,000 over the period for fiscal agent services. But the city is free to sever ties with Wells Fargo in October, due to a clause in the agreement that allows either party to terminate the contract 60 days before the end of 2017.

In an interview with SFR, Mayor Javier Gonzales threw his support behind such a change.

“When the city has money involved with banks that invest in projects harmful to our community and counter to the will of our city, we need to look at viable alternatives,” Gonzales said in an phone call from Washington DC, where he’s meeting with the US Conference of Mayors.

He also reiterated his support for a study on the feasibility of establishing a public bank to manage Santa Fe’s finances.

A coalition of local activists last week asked the City Council to divest from Wells Fargo over the bank’s investments in the pipeline, following a national movement to boycott financial institutions that fund the construction project. Gonzales previously demonstrated outside Wells Fargo as part of a national day of action on Nov. 15.

The council’s second-highest-ranking member also hinted at support in an email to SFR. “I think we would all feel more comfortable using a local institution,” said Mayor Pro Tem Signe Lindell.

The city maintains 15 Wells Fargo accounts, adding up to holdings of about $46.8 million, which covers payroll, general liability insurance claims, workers’ comp claims, savings, utilities and other functions.

Wells Fargo is among the 35 institutions bankrolling the Dakota Access Pipeline or the companies overseeing its construction. The bank has pitched in about $500,000, according to a study by Food and Water Watch, a progressive research group.

About two dozen Santa Feans spoke in support of the effort during last week’s council meeting on Jan. 11, commandeering the chambers during the evening’s public comment session. Earlier in the day, the activists demonstrated outside the downtown Wells Fargo branch on Washington Avenue.

Since last spring, thousands of activists have swarmed a campsite north of the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in North Dakota to protest the construction of an oil pipeline near the tribe’s land. Tribal members worry a rupture in the Dakota Access Pipeline could contaminate their water supply, as the proposed route runs beneath the Missouri River.

Over the summer, the protest camp

near Standing Rock became something of a mecca for environmentalists and supporters of Indigenous rights. Social media users circulated footage of police crackdowns on the site, including one episode in which law enforcement sprayed cold water on the protestors in freezing temperatures.

The City Council late last year passed a symbolic resolution supporting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and condemning excessive force on protesters. It also called on “local financial institutions to divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline Project and invest instead in life-support-

When the city has money involved with banks that invest in projects harmful to our community and counter to the will of our city, we need to look at viable alternatives.

-Mayor Javier Gonzales

ing projects and renewable energy projects.”

But Santa Fe should offer more than gestures to the self-described “water protectors” camping out at Standing Rock, said Jeff Haas, a civil rights lawyer who is representing a number of anti-pipeline activists. “I’m not asking for a sym-

bolic statement of support,” Haas told councilors. “We can make a difference.”

“The record on spills is consistent,” said activist Margaret Kuhlen. “Pipelines break.”

The actions last week were sponsored

by Earth Care, the environmentalist organization, and Retake Our Democracy, a progressive organizing group that grew out of the local campaign supporting Bernie Sanders for president. Jeff Ethan Au Green, a former City Council candidate who now lives in Colorado, drove here last week to help direct the campaign.

Paul Gibson, co-founder of Retake our Democracy, says his volunteer corps of about 50 people will research viable alternatives to Wells Fargo for the city’s fiscal agent. That effort likely got a boost from city council on Dec. 14, when the governing body lowered the collateralization requirement for Santa Fe’s fiscal agent from 102 percent to 50 cents per dollar.

Another proposed change would require the city to consider as criteria social responsibility before selecting a fiscal agent, inspired by a resolution currently being considered by Seattle’s City Council. Alongside Wells Fargo’s pipeline investment, the bank recently came under fire for a high-profile scandal wherein the bank’s employees created thousands of fake accounts to meet sales quotas.

The campaign against Wells Fargo represents the first high-profile cause championed by Retake Our Democracy since the November elections. Gibson said City Council should be prepared for more. “This is all part of a larger plan that recognizes that right now, given the changes in Washington, the best avenue for progressive change and policy change is at the local level,” he said.

he woman watched as soldiers confiscated her family’s land and beat her husband to death—another horror in the bloody land reforms of Chairman Mao Zedong’s Communist Party. She gathered up her daughter, paid a few bribes and laid low in British Hong Kong for two years, having fled her native China, like so many others, in fear.

By September 1956, she had hustled enough money for passage across the Pacific for her and her daughter. When the two refugees arrived in the United States on a tourist visa, they moved straight to Santa Fe. The mother’s brother-in-law ran a successful restaurant a block from the Plaza. Her daughter, eager to learn English, agreed to work at the joint for no pay. It’s unclear who tipped immigration officers off to the arrangement, but the feds eventually arrested the mother and daughter and summoned them to Albuquerque, where they faced a deportation trial.

Fortunately, the brother-in-law had friends in high places.

Larry Bynon, a powerful Republican figure and radio personality who happened to speak a little Chinese, drove down to the courthouse and translated for the two young women. Rep. John Dempsey, New Mexico’s at-large delegate on Capitol Hill, filed an emergency bill to halt the family’s deportation.

Dempsey and Bynon were political enemies—Bynon previously mocked a speech given by Dempsey, a former governor, as a “second-rate fireside chat”—but a crisis for Santa Fe’s most prominent Chinese family compelled bipartisanship. The effort made it all the way to the White House. President Dwight D Eisenhower signed the intervention, granting reprieve to the two young women, Young Chang How and Chu Fung Lou.

It probably helped that the family made damn good food.

In 1923, Park, Gay and Gee acquired a restaurant called Majestic Cafe, where they previously worked as cooks and managers. Under their stewardship, Majestic Cafe became New Royal Cafe and then New Mexico Cafe. At last, in 1937, the greasy spoon on San Francisco Street rebranded as the New Canton Cafe, paying homage to the South China province from which its proprietors traced their roots. (Today, Canton is more frequently Romanized as Guangdong.)

Menu items cycled through over the decades, but the family always offered a wide selection of Chinese, American and New Mexican cuisine. Chop suey competed with cheeseburgers for diners’ attention. One reviewer marveled at the Cafe’s pies, doling out special praise for the peach and banana cream offerings: “Rotten for the figure, but oh, how good for the palate!”

ter of Park, recalls the latter was a favorite among guests. “We had people come up from Albuquerque to buy a quart,” she says.

While stationed in New Guinea during the Pacific campaign in World War II, Bynon wrote longingly of New Canton Cafe’s T-bone steaks, reported the hometown paper. The restaurant famously did not serve alcohol, but away in the jungle, Bynon pleaded for Park to save him a bottle of Ng Ka Py, a Chinese liquor.

Another friend of the family, US Sen. Bronson Cutting, enjoyed turtle soup and sliced chicken during a banquet held in his honor. More than 20 years before Rep. Dempsey stuck his neck out for Mr. Park’s sister-and-law, Cutting had helped secure entry to the states for Mr. Gay’s son, Gee Gow. The New Canton Cafe shared a block with H Sax Fur Shop, Souders Furniture and Grose Jewelers. The Chinese immigrants’ eatery outlasted them all. Moviegoers likely dropped by the joint for snacks after catching the latest blockbuster down the street at the Paris Theater, which stood at 123 W San Francisco St. until it burned in 1945. The restaurant stayed open until 11 pm, except on Mondays, when it didn’t open at all.

Businessmen, congressmen and newspapermen all frequented the establishment, which had 10 booths and a private dining room that served up to 12 guests.

Chinese lanterns and paintings, some donated by the Witter Bynner Foundation, adorned the ceilings and walls. Visitors were welcomed by a bright yellow neon sign that said, “No Liquor—But the Best of Food.”

CO UR TE SY

Santa Fe in the early 1900s, started two successful businesses, established the city’s first colony of Chinese Americans and networked like it was no one’s business, becoming the president of the local restaurant association and a founding director of the Bank of Santa Fe. George’s brothers and business partners, Henry Gee Gay (older) and Joe Gee Soon Oey (younger) arrived around the same time and became well-known community figures themselves. The men were second-generation Americans, born in San Francisco to Chinese parents.

(Each brother adopted a new first name. Two of the men also Romanized a Chinese word to become their American last names: George became better known as Mr. Park and Henry became Mr. Gay, while Joe stuck with his ancestral name, Mr. Gee.) If American history can be traced through the groups we fear the most— nationalities, races, ideologies, religions—then Park grew up during an era of anti-Chinese sentiment. In this Southwestern town, though, where few Chinese ever lived, he planted his roots and worked toward an improbable realization of the American Dream.

Park’s lived experience, along with that of his family members who came to this country—both in what confronted them here and in how they thrived—resonates with particular clarity today as the nation again grapples with its immigration policy. Further, a nationalist wave has empowered forces that threaten to intensify the fight and chill the melting pot.

In 1941, a journalist observed a tourist marveling at the overhanging lanterns.

“We’ve seen a lot of strange things in Santa Fe,” he reportedly said. “But can you beat this? Here we are in a Chinese restaurant listening to a bunch of Hawaiians play Spanish music while people talk French and we eat Mexican shrimp.”

When Chinese immigration to the United States took off in the mid-1800s, enclaves of laborers tended to sprout along mining and railway hubs. The Territory of New Mexico, too, saw an influx of Chinese immigration.

Small colonies formed in Deming, Hillsboro and Silver City, where demand for cheap labor attracted workers who were willing to take tough jobs for little pay, according to Anna Naruta-Moya, an archivist who studied Chinese American communities in New Mexico for the Office of the State Historian. Food service, laundries and housekeeping rounded out the other gigs offered to the Chinese.

At first, the Old West welcomed the cheap labor. An 1868 report from the Santa Fe Weekly Post described the 60,000 or so Chinese immigrants in California as “frugal, temperate and industrious.”

But as the Chinese population grew, tolerance at times turned to hostility.

In New Mexico, souring racial relations erupted into violence. Miners in Soccoro rioted when a superintendent hired a “Chinaman” to work as a servant, leading to one death when a worker got shot in the neck.

An 1881 editorial in The New Mexican captured the day’s prevailing anxiety, warning of a future in which “representatives of the Celestial Empire are so thick in our midst that as in the case of San Francisco and California generally, it is a crying evil with which we are unable to combat.”

To summarize: They’ll steal our jobs.

Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, the first federal law restricting immigration of workers based on ethnicity. Ten years later, the Geary Act extended the ban on Chinese immigration and required all persons of Chinese descent to register with Department of Labor authorities. The undocumented faced arrest, imprisonment and deportation.

But despite the air of xenophobia directed toward their community in the early 20th century, some Chinese made well.

Naruta-Moya recently dug up the story of Sam Ho Kee, an immigrant who graduated as valedictorian of his 1906 class at Albuquerque High School. By some accounts, he was the first Chinese person in the nation to earn the distinction.

There’s also the Lew family of Deming, who operated a farm that became an agricultural model for the small town.

Known as the Chinese Garden, the Lews’ fields produced legendary yields of watermelons, pecans and Irish potatoes, not to mention a small fortune for the family.

Before he set up shop on San Francisco Street, Park lived in San Francisco, California, where his father worked as a cook.

He was about 10 years old when city offiCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The tracks of the American transcontinental railroad never ran through Santa Fe. Deprived of an economic boom, the town’s growth stalled through the late 1800s, with the population hovering between 5,000 and 6,000.

Archives give no indication of a significant Chinese population in the city before the turn of the century.

By the time his family arrived, Park and company had expanded, opening a laundry, which doubled as a gift store. In the space of a dozen years, it had burned down, reopened and relocated.

Park at first was treated as a foreign curiosity. His mother wrote him a letter from Guangdong in 1929. It became the subject of a New Mexican article that quotes the businessman’s broken English.

“I do well Santa Fe. My family live Santa Fe. Why leave?” Park said, addressing whether he would ever return to his native China.

But as New Canton Cafe rose in popularity, so did the family’s place in society.

And as the family grew, newspapers began to refer to them as Santa Fe’s first “Chinese Colony.”

TOP: The New Canton Cafe dished up Chinese and American food for more than years.

Here it is in the 1960s.

In 1924, Yon Shee Park sailed aboard the SS Cleveland from China to San Francisco with the couple’s two children, named Gee Fat Park and Helen Park. Mrs. Park’s certificate of identity, also required for Chinese aliens under federal immigration law, lists her occupation as housewife and notes two scars above her left eyebrow and a “faint pit” at the outer corner of her right eye.

cials, citing bubonic plague, installed a barbed-wire fence around Chinatown.

He was 16 years old when a 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Northern California coast, killing more than 3,000 people.

He lived with two other families on the third floor of a brick building, above a grocery store. When his father returned to China in 1911, Park, then 20, was taken under the wing of a laundryman on Mission Street.

In 1915, Park sought to visit China for the first time in his life. But before he could leave the country, he had to prove his citizenship under the Geary Act, submitting a form to the Department of Labor’s Immigration Service. In the spring, he boarded the SS Mongolia and eventually arrived at Chong Shing, a village with four dwellings where his parents lived in a brick home with an open courtyard and dirt floors. Villagers shared a well for water.

Not long after he arrived, Park met Yon Shee, a woman from a different village. Within three months, the two had married. Within two years, they had a son.

By the time George Park left China again, another child was on the way, this time a daughter (Sue Lim’s mother).

Park sailed back to the United States on the SS Siberia Maru in 1917. During the next seven years, he moved to Santa Fe, opened a restaurant and sent monthly payments of $300 to his wife and children, who had moved in with his parents.

When Gay made his own trip to China, he delivered a gold coin to the village of Chong Shing. Mrs. Park handed him a message, addressed to her husband, saying she wanted to come to the United States.

SFREPORTER.COM

The men employed their wives and children as waiters at the restaurant and ironers at the laundry. Several of the male children went on to serve in the US military, including Gay’s son Robert Gee Kong, a marine who was wounded in the Korean War. Outgoing and charming, Park became something of a liaison for the colony. Locals spoke of his smile and affability. “He was definitely Mr. Personality,” says Sue Lim, who is now retired in Marin County, California, after a career in the insurance industry. “He spoke with anyone who came into the restaurant. And the next time they came in, he’d remember them.”

Whenever the annual Fiesta Parade rolled around, Park spearheaded the design and construction of a Chinese-themed float. In 1937, according to one report, “A gaping green and white and gold dragon reared its head above the float. Fireworks were exploded in every block and in front of La Fonda, a disgusted white bulldog tried vengefully to eat them while they were going off.”

Before and during the second Sino-Japanese War, Park leveraged his social status to raise money for relief. Under the banner of Friends of China, he organized fundraiser after fundraiser. For one event in 1936, the group held a showing for The Plow That Broke the Plains, a documentary on the Dust Bowl. During another gathering, they sold tea, jewelry and paintings at the home of Eleanor Brownell and Alice Howland—a pair of teachers who give their name to Brownell-Howland Road near Bishop’s Lodge.

Mrs. Park also earned legendary status in Santa Fe. Since she didn’t have an English name, locals referred to her as Mama Park, or sometimes just Mama. Lim re-

calls that her grandmother accrued no shortage of karma over the years.

“Some of these newspaper delivery boys didn’t have something to eat, so she would bring them in and care for them.

When they got older and had great jobs, they would remember her,” she says. In 1942, Mama Park became the first Chinese person in Santa Fe to be naturalized as a United States citizen.

The following year, Congress repealed the Chinese Exclusion Act. But it would take another two decades before the last vestiges of immigration restrictions for Chinese people would be dropped from the books.

On Mondays, when New Canton Cafe was closed, Park and company would throw parties at the restaurant, stocked with liquor from the Payless Drug Store.

Sometimes they invited friends. Other times, the gatherings were strictly family affairs.

Bigger occasions, like birthdays and births, called for bigger venues. Calla Hay, long-time society editor at The New Mexican, covered regular shindigs at La Fonda and Hacienda el Gancho (on Old Las Vegas Highway). On the occasion of George Park’s 71st birthday, on January 27, 1962, Hay reported that more than 400 guests formed a reception line at La Fonda to honor the “patriarch” of Santa Fe’s Chinese colony. Family flew in from out of town and then-governor Richard Dillon drove up from Encino with his wife Maurine Williams.

As guests left the hotel, the family handed them “handsome bowls, Chinese spoons and bright red chopsticks.” Yon Shee Park and the other women in the

On a bitterly cold Thursday afternoon in December at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, curators were installing La Frontera y Nuevo México, an exhibit billed as an “anthropological investigation of the US-Mexico Border.”

A Donald Trump piñata hangs next to a glass case showing three red baseball caps, arranged vertically, that say: “Make America Great Again,” “Make America Mexico Again” and “Make America Native Again.”

Down the corridor, the museum’s largest temporary exhibit hall displays more than 100 pieces of Chinese ceramics spanning 6,000 years, from ancient statuettes to Mao-era bowls and plates. Across from that collection, arranged horizontally across a single wall, was an exhibit called Chinese Americans in New Mexico. That exhibit has since closed, but the ceramics are on view until mid-June.

“I’ve made an effort to do exhibits relevant to the local community,” says Devorah Romanek, museum curator.

family wore silk dresses, specially tailored for the gala and flown in from Hong Kong.

New Canton Cafe closed in 1975, after more than 50 years in business. The same month that Park closed the books, a pair of siblings named Toni Contreras and James Maryol opened a new diner in the same location. They called it Tia Sophia’s.

By that time, Park was already spending more time on his other career, as a director of the Bank of Santa Fe. He died in 1986.

The third generation of Gee family children, unlike their parents, didn’t need restaurant gigs. Those children went onto college and became architects and underwriters, lawyers and nurses. Most moved to California, except for the grandson who went to Memphis to become a pharmacist.

Says Lim, “I guess that’s the reason the Chinese came over to the United States; to give their children an education.”

manek reached out to members of the local diaspora, who in turn loaned collections of teapots and cups.

Emblazoned with roosters and dragons, the tea accessories are cased midway through a timeline of photos and newspaper clippings tracing the history of Chinese immigration to New Mexico. Visitors can gaze at the immigration papers of Sam Ho Kee and his parents, provided by Naruta-Moya.

Santa Fe also makes an appearance, but not through images of the New Canton Cafe or its proprietors. Rather, we see a sepia-toned view of St. Francis Cathedral, dated between 1890 and 1895. Along San Francisco Street, a white hanging sign marks Sang Kee Laundry, perhaps the oldest known Chinese business in Santa Fe. The photo offers evidence of Chinese life in Santa Fe before George Park and Henry Gee Gay came to town. Whoever was the enterprising man behind Sang Kee Laundry, it seems he did not benefit from geniality with his community.

In the spring of 1882, the Santa Fe Democrat reported that two men, one wielding the butt of a pool stick, broke into the business and beat the laundryman. Using a rope fashioned as a noose, they attempted to choke the man, identified by the Democrat as Lang Kee. Through moans, the man got the attention of neighbors. But the burglars had already made off with 80 bucks and a watch.

The exhibit on Chinese Americans opened with a political cartoon, drawn

by Thomas Nast in 1870. Men dressed in suits look over a barrier labeled “The ‘Chinese Wall’ Around the United States of America.” Other men, standing on the other side, wearing ponytails and conical hats, watch as a ladder once perched against the wall comes crashing down before them. Below his drawing, Nast writes, “THROWING DOWN THE LADDER BY WHICH THEY ROSE.” Romanek, giving a tour of the exhibit, pauses for a second to contemplate the illustration. “Some things never change.”

FANTASTIC FOR It is often assumed that fantasy writing must adhere to some arbitrary list of Tolkien-esque tropes, but award-winning British author China Miéville avoids such simple classification in favor of the fantastically weird told exceptionally well.

Books like 1998’s King Rat, 2000’s Perdido Street Station and last year’s The Census Taker have more in common with HP Lovecraft or Clive Barker, which opens up innumerable possibilities in a genre aimed at adult literary fans looking for the bizarre, the macabre or some mix of both.

Miéville comes to the Lensic tonight to speak, and hopefully to open some minds to the intersection of fantasy and horror. (Alex De Vore)

Pat Malone’s custom guitar is literally one of two in the world, which really works for the guy, considering he’s a jazz shredder of the highest caliber who performs basically always. And while you can catch him with his trio a fair amount of the time, Malone goes solo more often than not, which is cool because it allows him a certain amount of freedom. “As a soloist, there’s always room for improvisation,” Malone says, “and that’s kind of the fun of jazz music.” There’s more fun to be had, too, because TerraCotta is all about that wine.

Battle of the Broths Behold the annual soup-off!

S

oup is king of comforting, make-you-feel-better foods, so when freezing temperatures have you griping more and smiling less, a hot bowl of chicken noodle just might be in order. But it can be fairly difficult to make a good soup, simple though it may seem. Keep that in mind this Saturday when 29 local restaurants compete in the 23rd annual Souper Bowl, a local culinary staple and fundraising event for The Food Depot.

Located on Siler Road, the nonprofit serves nine counties in Northern New Mexico, distributing around 445,000 pounds of food and household goods each month.

The Food Depot’s development director, Jill Gentry, has been helping coordinate the annual soup-off since 2013 and says the competition is a huge deal and greatly beloved to Santa Feans.

“We typically raise somewhere around $60,000 at the Souper Bowl,” she says, “which is enough to provide 240,000 meals in Northern New Mexico.”

The awards themselves are doled out in four categories: savory, cream, vege-

tarian and seafood—as well as best overall soup—and are chosen by the attendees. “We typically have between 1,200 and 1,400 attendees,” Gentry tells SFR. “That’s really awesome and dynamic because we get the community to come together with an underlying focus on ending hunger in our community.”

Gentry also believes this year’s competition will be hotter than ever. “It’s a nice blend of returning chefs, past winners and some new blood, which is always really exciting,” she says.

Soup contenders include veterans, like last year’s Best Seafood/Best Overall winners, Sweetwater Harvest Kitchen, plus local favorites like Paper Dosa, Santacafé, Vinaigrette, Second Street Brewery and many more. Sounds like a date! (Maria Egolf-Romero)

ANGRY JAMS Get pissed on Inauguration Day

MDC “BORN TO DIE” (1981) Dave Dictor and company actually came through Santa Fe not too long ago, and shortly thereafter, Green Day channeled MDC’s “Born to Die” by chanting “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” at the American Music Awards. While the original lyrics use “war” in place of “Trump,” the message should be clear, and I do wonder how Trump voters reconcile voting for the same candidate as the fucking Klan in their minds. Ugh. I’m pissed already!

Hear, Here We’ve got our ear to the ground in search of interesting tidbits of music-related information, Santa Fe. Are you recording an album? Hitting the road to tour?

Thinking of going major-label?

We want to know about it.

Johnny Bell of gothic Americana weirdo act Cloacas is hard at work on some new, original banjo tunes. Ever the perfectionist, Bell doesn’t have a release date set, but we’ve seen him play before and he has an oddly satisfying drone quality that may not spring to mind when one imagines banjos, but it exists nonetheless.

You can stay up-to-date at johnnybell.bandcamp.com.

DEAD KENNEDYS “NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF” (1981) It’s an obvious one, but there’s still no denying the power behind this opus from the Bay Area legends. And though it’s kind of more about poseurs trying to co-opt punk, there’s a certain delight in lyrics like, “You still think swastikas look cool/The real Nazis run your schools/They’re coaches businessmen and cops/In a real fourth Reich you’ll be the first to go.” Plus, have y’all seen the rise in hate crime out there from white people? There’s no denying hate-mongers are feeling emboldened of late.

And no matter how many people tell you to get over it already or that you’re a snowflake or that “we survived Obama, you’ll survive this” or that you don’t deserve to feel outraged, saddened and even just a little bit terrified, you absolutely, 100 percent do have that right—and I’m here to help you wallow ( just a little bit, let’s not be morose here).

I mean, sure, musician Amanda Palmer’s glib statement about how “we’re all going to crawl down staircases into basements and speakeasies and make satirically political art” aside, there is catharsis in music.

So come Jan. 20, let’s get pissed together, friends, because no matter who you are or where you live, one thing’s for sure: This is going to suck.

FIRST

DJ Melanie Moore’s annual Sex on Vinyl event has hit the planning stages, and Moore says this year’s version, the 12th in the long-running series, will feature an all-ages component come Feb. 11 at Skylight. We’ll have more info as it comes.

Elected Officials hanging out in these ruins looks way cooler than the upcoming inauguration.

Suck it, Toby Keith!

ELECTED OFFICIALS “THE LOBBY” (2015) Not only is this band semi-local (some members live here, some in Austin, Texas), they’ve got an album called Appetite for Corruption and that’s just smart. On their song “The Lobby,” Elected Officials thrash the idea of bought policies and legislation, standing up for the little guy with lyrics like, “It’s all about the money and not for you and me/Billions of Ben Franklins speak to higher policy.” Yikes. Oh, and PS— these guys are touring China with MDC as we speak. Boom.

PHIL OCHS “I AIN’T MARCHING ANYMORE” (1965) Think of it like a soldier who once blindly followed orders who now prefers to ruminate on peace and what is right. Phil Ochs rules. Oh, and Portland, Oregon-based indie genius Ben Barnett has a whole album of Ochs covers with his Kind of Like Spitting project called Learn: The Songs of Phil Ochs that is really worth searching out and picking up.

NOFX “THE DECLINE” (1999) Did somebody say 20-minute song about the sad state of affairs in the country?

NOFX deftly weaves between issues like absurd marijuana laws, gun control, the opiate of the masses and more with reckless abandon and more than a few

brilliantly executed tempo and musical changes. Not only is this one of the finest political songs of all time, it proved that even pop-punk has the ability to get deep now and then. “We’ve lost the battle, lost the war, lost the things worth living for,” singer Fat Mike laments, and it’s hard to not focus on how Trump is just another in a long line of political disappointments in this country … at least for people who care about other people.

THE EXPLOITED “FUCK THE USA” (1993) OK, so they’re Scottish, but The Exploited still provides an interesting glimpse into how our country is perceived by other parts of the world while reminding us that sick people looking for help will probably have a hard time without money and the rich often don’t much care or even really think about the poor.

WOODY GUTHRIE “ALL YOU FASCISTS BOUND TO LOSE” (1944) It’s Woody Guthrie, you guys, and he’s mad! His machine kills fascists, y’know?!

Billy Bragg also does this song (both with Wilco and all by himself ), but whatever way you ingest the message of this tune, it’s pretty triumphant and hopeful which, God help us, we could we could really use right about now.

Send your good vibes out in the direction of local rocker Jessie Deluxe, who recently broke her arm in a snowboarding accident. Not only is that never fun, it extra sucks for adults who heal more slowly and EXTRA sucky for a guitarist. Get well soon, Jessie!

Andy Mason, the music teacher at Little Earth School (which enrolls kids up to 6th grade), is trying to raise $500 to buy the school some ukuleles.

To do this, he’s recorded an original song with the kids aptly titled “Little Earth” which y’all can download on iTunes or get through cdbaby.com. The school gets the proceeds. Of course, you can also just pop by or send them money if you so choose.

4

Local musician/DJ Ben Wright plans to retire from his bi-monthly Open Songs Night event at Second Street Brewery in the Railyard following the Jan. 24 event with Felix Peralta of Felix y los Gatos. His successor is yet to be announced.

Performance Santa Fe courts a younger audience by tapping two insiders

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

W

hen Lily Carbone and Cav Cavanaugh launched the Facebook page “Friends of Performance Santa Fe” on New Year’s Day, they didn’t wait around for people to happen upon it. Instead, they released a volley of intriguing messages to young, culturally engaged friends and acquaintances. In exchange for inviting a friend or two to the new online community, Performance Santa Fe was offering heavily discounted tickets to a cirque performance by The 7 Fingers in February—and a chance to rub elbows with the troupe afterwards.

“We got 100 likes in less than three days,” says Cavanaugh, Performance Santa Fe’s operations and education coordinator. “I told my friends about it, and they said, ‘Are there even 100 young people in this town?’ There are, but they’re in hiding.” She and Carbone, the nonprofit organization’s design and web manager, had been working for months on a strategy to flush younger Santa Feans from their dens. It’s a notoriously elusive audience for arts organizations— especially those that specialize in classical music performances—but this project has a secret weapon: At 26 and 33, respectively, Carbone and Cavanaugh are their own target audience.

Performance Santa Fe has an 80-year history, beginning in the late 1930s.

Until 2014, the organization was called the Santa Fe Community Concert Association, and was a presenter for Columbia Artists Management. Eight straight decades of performing arts seasons later, the group has hosted theater, opera and dance performances, but it’s best-known for attracting a world-class array of classical musicians to Santa Fe. Perhaps not-so-coincidentally, 80 is also a common age among Performance Santa Fe’s supporters.

“Most of our audience is 45 and up, which is very consistent with any kind

of performing arts organization,” says Jonathan Winkle, the organization’s executive director. Back in November, he posed a question to his staff: “How can we approach the sub-40-year-old set in a way that makes sense?”

Winkle has seen other arts organizations try to engage younger demographics with mostly poor results. “So often, it seems to be a top-down approach, where people who are much older are trying to crack into the younger crowd,” Winkle says. “I thought it was really important that people from the actual community really craft how it’s going to look and sound and taste and feel.”

Enter Carbone and Cavanaugh, Performance Santa Fe’s youngest employees. They swiftly sketched out a program for a 21- to 39-year-old demographic that would offer affordable tickets to perfor-

mances, discounted drinks at local bars and behind-the-scenes access to performers: Friends of Performance Santa Fe. The goal was to foster a casual, culturally engaged community, something that both women struggled to find when they were Santa Fe newcomers.

“It’s a little bit harder to find a group here, because they can be so tight-knit,” says Cavanaugh, who moved here five years ago from Tallahassee, Florida.

“Finding things to do is more difficult as well, and I think creating social groups that are based around organizations like this is a great way to give people that outlet.”

Carbone, who’s originally from Maryland and has lived here off and on for about four and a half years, adds that she often faces a trade-off when she’s deciding what to do with her time and money.

“It’s expensive to live here,” she says. “I have to budget between activities that I actually can do. Do I go to a nice restaurant, get drinks, or go to a show?”

Fostering friendships and changing perceptions about the cost of attending performances became central goals of the project, as did avoiding some of the more awkward quirks of the average networking event. Cavanaugh and Carbone categorically rejected the term “young professionals” to describe the group, instead opting for the more open term “friends.”

“I’ve been to so many soul-sucking networking activities in my lifetime, and we definitely wanted to change that idea,” Cavanaugh says. “This is about appreciation of the arts, and bringing

people together from all subsets to make these classical performances more relevant and accessible today.” Carbone adds, “We wanted to create events that we ourselves would be excited to attend.”

Friends of Performance Santa Fe’s first event is a production called Cuisine and Confessions by The 7 Fingers, an offshoot of the legendary production company Cirque du Soleil. Friends of Performance Santa Fe members can purchase seats that regularly run $78 for just $19, a markdown of over 70 percent, though the only way to access that price point currently is to call Performance Santa Fe (984-8759) and join the Friends program. Carbone and Cavanaugh say they’ll update the Performance Santa Fe website to make buying discounted tickets a simpler process in the coming weeks.

Following the Feb. 21 performance at The Lensic, a Friends of Performance Santa Fe launch party is scheduled at Agave Lounge (in the Eldorado Hotel & Spa, 309 W San Francisco St., 988-4455) and several of the featured performers are slated to appear. Cavanaugh and Carbone are busy planning a Friends of Performance Santa Fe schedule for the to-be-announced 2017/2018 season, which should be up on their Facebook page, facebook.com/FriendsOfPSF, soon.

About a year ago, I was pretending to read my boyfriend’s mind and jokingly said, “You want to put it in my ear.” Since then, I have seen references to ear sex (aural sex?) everywhere!

There’s even a holiday (“Take It in the Ear Day” on December 8), and I was reading a book just now in which the author mentions how much she hates getting come in her ear. So while I am honestly not trying to yuck someone’s yum, I do have two questions. First, is this really a thing? And second, how does it work? I mean, I like it when my boyfriend kisses my ears, but I don’t think I’d get that hot from him putting his penis there. It just seems loud. Can you enlighten me?

-An Understanding Requested About Listeners Ear sex is a thing. But we need to distinguish between auralism, AURAL, and an ear fetish.

People into auralism are sexually aroused by sounds—it could be a voice or music or sex noises. (Sex noises can arouse almost anyone who hears them, of course, so technically we’re all auralists.) An ear fetish, on the other hand, is a kind of partialism, i.e., a sexual interest in one part of the body (often parts not typically found in pants). A foot fetish is a partialism, for example, as is an ear fetish or an armpit fetish.

Most ear fetish stuff—including the thousands of ear fetish videos on YouTube—is about tugging, rubbing, or licking someone’s ear and not about fucking someone in the ear or coming in someone’s ear canal. Dicks don’t fit in ear canals, and blasting semen into someone’s ear could cause a nasty ear infection.

So both are risky practices best avoided—but, hey, if PIE (penis in ear) sex is actually a thing, I invite any hardcore ear kinksters out there reading this to write in and explain exactly how that works.

I have a particular fetish that I’ve never fully disclosed to anybody. My ultimate fantasy is to be stripped of my assets by a woman and then (most importantly) made homeless. I like dressing up dirty—face, clothing, and all—and even going so far as to look through garbage cans. My question is this: Is it moral to live out this fantasy, considering the plight of homeless people?

-Desiring Interesting Role-Play That’s Yucky I’m not gonna lecture you about how homelessness is a tragedy for individuals and a national crisis that the administration of Orange Julius Caesar is unlikely to prioritize.

Just like AURAL, DIRTY, I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum. But this is definitely a fantasy— morally speaking—that can’t be fully realized.

You’re turned on by the thought of a cruel woman taking absolutely everything from you and leaving you homeless? Great. Find a woman who’s into findom (financial domination) and give her some or most of your money and play dress up on the weekends and sleep in her backyard. But don’t give her everything and actually wind up homeless, DIRTY, because then you’ll wind up competing for scarce shelter beds and other resources with men, women, and children who didn’t choose to become homeless because it made their dicks hard. There’s nothing moral about making their plight worse than it already is.

Finally, DIRTY, while you’re able to fantasize about being stripped of your assets and left homeless, there are real people out there who have nothing and don’t find anything about being homelessness arousing. Want to be poorer? Donate a big chunk of your assets to homeless shelters and/or nonprofits that assist those experiencing homelessness in your area.

I’ve never admitted this to anyone: The idea of committing suicide turns me on sexually. I recognize how crazy that is, and I want to emphasize that I’m not suicidal. I’m not depressed, I love living, and despite this sexual impulse, I don’t want to kill myself. I’m turned on by the fantasy of hanging myself, but that’s not really how I want my life to end. (To be clear: Autoerotic asphyxiation gets a lot of press, but that’s not the situation here. Asphyxiation itself isn’t my kink, and other methods of committing suicide also turn me on.) My question is this: Given that I don’t want these fantasy scenarios to ever become reality, should I indulge the fantasy through healthy, safe play with a responsible partner or should I try to repress it and shut it down? I’m worried that if I indulge the fantasies through safe scenarios, I might reach a point where the safety precautions interfere with the thrill. On the other hand, I know that trying to repress sexual desires is a hopeless endeavor and trying to keep these fantasies in check might result in a scenario where they boil over and I end up engaging in riskier behavior than I would have otherwise.

-Horny And Nervous Guy’s Endangering Deeds You’re not actually suicidal, right? I know you already said you weren’t, HANGED, but I want to double-check. Because fantasizing about killing yourself—for whatever reason— technically counts as suicidal ideation. If you or anyone else reading this is contemplating suicide, please reach out to someone you trust.

Ask for help. Stick around. (Some resources: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, 1-800273-8255; the Trevor Project, 1-866-488-7386; Trans Lifeline, 877-565-8860.)

Okay, HANGED, I’m going to take you at your word: You love being alive and don’t actually want to kill yourself any more than a sane person into Master/slave role-play actually wants to own a human being or be enslaved.

But while I agree that repressing sexual desires is a hopeless endeavor, HANGED, “can’t be repressed” isn’t the only factor we have to take into consideration as we contemplate acting on our sexual fantasies. There are two other important considerations (at least!): Can the act be performed consensually? Can the act be enjoyed with minimal risk of permanent harm?

Your kink can definitely be performed consensually, and there are ways to minimize the risks of harm—and I’m not talking about only sticking your head in an Easy-Bake Oven. I’m talking about finding a responsible/indulgent/ macabre partner who’s willing to indulge/ assist/monitor. Yours is a kink that can be explored only during supervised play, otherwise you run the risk of fucking up and accidentally hanging yourself. You can never do this solo. So if you don’t have a responsible and unflappable partner, HANGED, you’ll have to stick to your right hand and your imagination.

Bi guy here, who’s way okay with the use of “fag” or “faggot” in the right context. And what FAGS wrote in about last week—a boyfriend who wants to be called “faggot” while she talks negatively about his cock—is absolutely the right context. There’s an evolution in meaning taking place right now, Dan. These days, “fag” is less about sexual preference and more about sexual submission. A submissive man? Gay or straight? He’s a fag. I’ve been serviced by both hetero and homo faggots and have enjoyed myself, as have the fags who sucked my cock or did my housework. Go onto Tumblr and see for yourself. (Also: I have a sneaky suspicion that sparks would fly if FAGS raised the subject of cuckoldry with her boyfriend.)

with Tanya Taylor Rubinstein

JENNIFER ESPERANZA

Right now, the oh-so-imminent inaguration may be dominating your thoughts, so it’s a good thing that The Election Monologues happens Jan. 20 at the Santa Fe Art Institute (1600 St. Michael’s Drive, 424-5050) at 7 pm, $10-$15. It presents practiced speeches by a diverse group of Santa Feans who want to share their feelings about this new presidency. The event takes place concurrently in 13 other cities, but was conceived right here in Santa Fe by Tanya Taylor Rubinstein, an actor who tells SFR that events like this are more imporant than ever.

(Maria Egolf-Romero) What do you feel these monologues do for the speakers and the audience?

They are a way (for speakers) to reclaim their power in a time when there’s a blanket of silencing going on, and oppressing, culturally. It’s a way to engage with our inner creative expression and feel like we have something purposeful to do by offering our stories, our wisdom and our inspiration.

Is there a dominant theme or tone?

It became less about the election, in a way, than it did about sexism, class, racism and privilege. The gestalt of the group landed on those subjects, and what people are afraid for, as well as how they are finding their way through and looking towards the future.

Why is an event like this important right now?

I think this is the path to resistance. I think this is the path to how we’re going to create the America we want rather than the caricature of a cartoon that’s playing out in DC right now of fascism, of stolen elections, of corporate-run politics gone absolutely amok. I see it as a country bottoming out right now, and the only way for individuals to address that is to activate, collaborate and come together in our genuine voices with our deep stories and our deep creativity engaged to step outside of that system and create what we want.

Ponder Sonder

EX DE VO RE

New life in an old space

BY GWYNETH DOLAND t h e f o r k @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

T

he word “sonder” is a term that comes from the made-up Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows (it’s a blog and a YouTube channel) meaning, briefly, the realization that other people’s lives are incredibly rich and you may play only a bit part in them.

Sonder the restaurant is a Railyard diner that may have a brief cameo—or a larger role—in your dining life.

Café Sonder, brought to you by the same folks behind the Plaza Café both downtown and Southside, replaces the Zia Diner with an elegant, airy remodel of the space and a smaller menu that lacks focus but includes some pleasant surprises.

For nearly 30 years, the Zia Diner was a fixture on Guadalupe Street, offering an expansive diner menu and a comfortable space to hang out over a bowl of green chile mac and cheese, blue corn chicken enchiladas or recover with a hangover hamburger. But it went belly-up last winter and closed after the owner struggled to keep up with rent payments amid a slow economy and increased competition.

Fans of the old diner will notice the interior changes right away. Originally a railroad warehouse, the building was remodeled in the early 1980s, becoming Zia Diner in 1986. To be honest, the décor felt a little dated, so this overhaul is welcome. Gone are the dark carpet and paint, replaced by light taupe walls, pale wood floors and black tables. Gone are the stools at the lunch counter and some of the booths. An occasional red chair and red geometric light fixtures add pops of color.

The space is huge (more than 6,000 square feet), and it feels more open, but

that means it can feel very empty when there are only a few tables full, as was the case at lunchtime on a recent weekday.

The food here is still based on the same homey comfort food idea: familiar dishes with little twists and a few new and interesting things. At breakfast there are pretty standard versions of yogurt and granola, a smoked salmon bagel, eggs Benedict and an omelet. But there are also fun new takes like cardamom French toast with quince-glazed bananas and a Japanese farmhouse plate with smoked tofu, shitake mushrooms and sticky rice. An avocado tartine replaces Zia’s avocado toast.

At lunch, find familiar salads: field greens, kale, a Cobb and one with beet and goat cheese. The sandwiches are big and meaty (prime rib, chicken and prosciutto, etc.). The green chile cheeseburger is very good, fat and juicy with flavorful chile and melty cheese on a sweet and squishy sesame seed bun. At $12 it’s a little dear, but the fries are great, too.

The appetizer section is where the interesting things are at lunch, but the execution seems to be uneven.

My dining companion and I tried the butternut squash soup ($5), which was advertised as including bone marrow, croutons and hen-of-the-woods mushrooms, and described by the server as being made with heavy cream. What arrived was a very pretty cup of golden squash puree garnished with nothing but a sprinkle of herbs. It tasted purely and nicely of squash but lacked the richness of a cream soup, and disappointingly, the sexiness of its promised toppings.

Bright green herbed hummus, smoked beet puree and a tangy yogurt sauce anchor a Mediterranean dip plate ($10) that arrives with an abundance of warm,

Mediterranean dips? You bet!

soft pita triangles, crumbled feta and two kinds of olives. The hummus was rich with olive oil and herbs; we killed it. But the beet puree tasted like… well, pureed beets, which I love, but there was no detectable smokiness. The spiced yogurt sauce delivered a creamy richness that was quickly dissipated by a heavy hand on the acid.

Too tangy.

Rabbit confit ($10) is a pretty intriguing dish for a place like this, and in fact it was by far the best-tasting thing we had.

But I would have liked it better if my eyes had been closed. It is not an attractive presentation. Tiny shreds of beige rabbit are scattered over a bed of white beans cooked a little too roughly so their skins have started to slip off. A huge hunk of parsley appeared haphazardly thrown on top.

The rabbit itself is deeply flavorful and has a rewarding richness. The beans also taste good! But the care taken with the visual appeal of this dish is jarring compared to the care taken with the redesign of the space.

The rabbit confit is reminiscent of a French cassoulet—minus the ham hocks and pigs’ ears and sausages and vegetables and tomato and spices. Hey, a plate of duck confit and white beans (traditional anchors of a cassoulet) can be great on their own! But if you didn’t know that and saw this dish delivered to a nearby table, you would not be tempted. Bigger pieces of rabbit, more carefully prepared beans, a little color—any of these could spruce it up.

I look forward to trying dinner, which includes many dishes on the lunch menu, plus some heartier plates: roasted half chicken, enchiladas, a rib-eye and a fisherman’s stew that alludes to bouillabaisse.

I hope as the restaurant ages and the team gets more established, it will refine dishes and further develop the comfort food theme. There’s certainly a lot of potential.

Paterson Review: Sheer-ish Poetry 7

Jim Jarmusch almost gets there

+ WELL-ACTED;

QUIETLY BEAUTIFUL - WEAK ENDING; NOT FOR THE IMPATIENT

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

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.

20TH CENTURY WOMEN

+ 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 with each passing day.

So she enlists the help of seemingly every friend the two can claim. This includes their two housemates—Abbie (Greta Gerwig), a punkrock 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.

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:

MOONLIGHT

“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.

MOVIES or Dare. Gould and Zwaan dig deeper, exploring the dancers’ lives as well as a 1992 lawsuit that claimed Madonna had outed them in her film without their consent. After the lawsuit was settled, however, the dancers reportedly realized their important respective roles in the gay community had given others the courage to express themselves.

Strike a Pose is a sassy and fierce journey into the ’90s, well-equipped with interviews and concert footage that helps alleviate the film’s painfully slow pace. The directors often repeat concert clips and lawsuit technicalities, which seems redundant but ultimately emphasizes the key points of the film. Even if you’re not a Madonna fan, the dancers in Strike a Pose are enough to intrigue pop lovers and mainstream music critics alike. Viewers may find themselves more interested in the dancers than in the singer herself—which could be due to a lack of comment from the pop icon, who refused to be interviewed.

Gould and Zwaan were permitted to use footage from Truth or Dare, and through the focus on the lawsuit in Strike a Pose, they insinuate that there is lingering bad blood between Madonna and her dancers. In the end, though, they seem appreciative for the push toward being themselves, admitting they still love and admire good ol’ Madge. (Kim Jones) Jean Cocteau Cinema, NR, 83 min.

HIDDEN FIGURES

8

+ 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. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 127 min.

ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY

8

+ IT’S STAR WARS, BRO; DARTH VADER - CREEPY CGI

Now that we’re apparently going to get our Star Wars movies in annualized form, it’s only natural to question the validity of Rogue One, the first in a series of non-core films in the franchise, and one to tell a story outside the main plotlines we’ve come to know and love.

We follow Jyn Erso (The Theory of Everything’s Felicity Jones), the daughter of an Imperial science officer played by Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal). Jyn is orphaned when her father grows a conscience and doesn’t want to fight for the Empire anymore. She’s young and brash and doesn’t much care about anything, but when the Rebel Alliance needs to track down someone close to her, she enlists in exchange for whatever semblance of freedom is available in this particular galaxy. And so, along with a

Yeah, they’re striking a pose alright.

Rebel captain named Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), who is beginning to question his place in the fight, and a wise-crackin’ reprogrammed Imperial droid (voiced brilliantly by Firefly’s Alan Tudyk, even if he’s awfully similar to Douglas Adams’ Marv from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), Jyn must traverse the planets to uncover the plans for an Imperial mega-weapon you may have heard about called the Death Star.

Rogue One separates itself from previous Star Wars films with a tale that’s more about the individual human cost of war than the admittedly fun fantasy of space magic. This isn’t to say that known elements from the Star Wars realm don’t find their way into the film, but rather than focus on one young man’s journey to selfdiscovery and missing hands in a black-andwhite, good-versus-evil universe, Rogue One isn’t afraid to point out that the Rebel Alliance must sometimes do ugly things in the name of peace.

This paradoxical concept not only helps to flesh out a chapter in the saga that we’ve always kind of wondered about, it is a solid foundation for the humanization of the rebels who, in previous outings, had proven disappointingly dimensionless.

The CGI is as brilliant as one would expect from the franchise, save a few creepy choices such as a computer-generated version of Peter Cushing (RIP) as Governor Tarkin that is understandable given he’s not alive, but that still falls victim to the uncanny valley. It’s also possible that the heavy emphasis on fan

service for the second Star Wars film in quick succession could arguably be perceived as a crutch. Regardless, the action sequences are just right and every conceivable detail seems to have been considered. We actually grow to care about characters that represent a fairly huge shift in a monumental piece of shared culture, and Rogue One does a fine job in establishing a number of new characters.

If this is a fair example of the kinds of side stories we can expect from the Star Wars universe, we say bring us more. With such a massively rich vein for storytelling, there’s ample opportunity to win new fans while pleasing entire generations of others. One must be careful not to allow this film to be overhyped, and there will always be minimal things to pick apart if you’re one of those sci-fi fans. But, if you’ve ever been into Star Wars to any degree whatsoever, you’ll want to see this film immediately; the last three minutes alone are worth it. (ADV) Regal, Violet Crown, PG-13, 134 min.

MOONLIGHT

9

Moonlight: It’s that one movie everyone keeps telling you to see already. 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.

And, boy howdy, even if you stopped reading the subtitles for a few minutes, you’d know how the men interviewed for the film really feel about Aisholpan’s interloping on their sausage fest.

Women are weak; they don’t have the courage to hold the bird; they should stay home and make tea for the hunters.

Her father, to be congratulated on his forward thinking and bold dedication to his daughter, sees past the gender barrier. “It’s not choice,” he explains, “it’s a calling that has to be in your blood.”

And it’s in hers. Aisholpan thus shows no fear, strapping on her fur-lined hat and trotting into town on her sturdy horse, arm extended as it becomes a perch for the avian predator.

The bird’s wingspan is wider than she is tall, dwarfing the ruddy-cheeked girl with each restless flap. She pets its head as if it were a house cat, talking all the while with praise and comfort. Oh, and by the way—she had to rappel down a cliff side and snatch the eaglet from its nest. Then months of training. No bigs.

What majestic footage: the grace of the powerful wings alighting from the edge 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) DeVargas, G, subtitles, 87 min

+ INCREDIBLY WELL-CRAFTED - FAILS TO GIVE MAIN CHARACTER A STRONG VOICE

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.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ASTROLOGY Rob Brezsny

Week of January 18th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Are you more attracted to honing group dynamics or liberating group dynamics?

Do you have more aptitude as a director who organizes people or as a sparkplug who inspires people? Would you rather be a Chief Executive officer or a Chief Imagination Officer? Questions like these will be fertile for you to meditate on in the coming weeks. The astrological omens suggest it’s time to explore and activate more of your potential as a leader or catalyst.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Czech writer Bohumil Hrabal penned the novel Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age. It consists of one sentence. But it’s a long, rambling sentence—117 pages’ worth. It streams from the mouth of the narrator, who is an older man bent on telling all the big stories of his life. If there were ever to come a time when you, too, would have cosmic permission and a poetic license to deliver a onesentence, 117-page soliloquy, Libra, it would be in the coming weeks. Reveal your truths! Break through your inhibitions! Celebrate your epic tales! (P.S.: Show this horoscope to the people you’d like as your listeners.)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) An eccentric Frenchman named Laurent Aigon grew up near an airport, and always daydreamed of becoming a commercial pilot.

Sadly, he didn’t do well enough in school to fulfill his wish. Yet he was smart and ambitious enough to accomplish the next best thing: assembling a realistic version of a Boeing 737 cockpit in his home. With the help of Google, he gathered the information he needed, and ordered most of the necessary parts over the Internet. The resulting masterpiece has enabled him to replicate the experiences of being a pilot. It’s such a convincing copy that he has been sought as a consultant by organizations that specialize in aircraft maintenance. I suggest you attempt a comparable feat, Taurus: creating a simulated version of what you want.

I bet it will eventually lead you to the real thing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The weather may be inclement where you live, so you may be resistant to my counsel. But I must tell you the meanings of the planetary omens as I understand them, and not fret about whether you’ll act on them. Here’s my prescription, lifted from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden: “We need the tonic of wildness, to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground.” And why does Thoreau say we need such experiences? “We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor, to witness our own limits transgressed.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) The tomato and potato are both nightshades, a family of flowering plants. Taking advantage of this commonality, botanists have used the technique of grafting to produce a pomato plant. Its roots yield potatoes, while its vines grow cherry tomatoes. Now would be a good time for you to experiment with a metaphorically similar creation, Sagittarius. Can you think of how you might generate two useful influences from a single source?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Some guy I don’t know keeps sending me emails about great job opportunities he thinks I’d like to apply for: a technical writer for a solar energy company, for example, and a social media intern for a business that offers travel programs.

But one of the VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Eighteenth-century painter Joshua Reynolds said that a “disposition to abstractions, to generalizing and classification, is the great glory of the human mind.” To that lofty sentiment, his fellow artist William Blake responded, “To generalize is to be an idiot; to particularize is the alone distinction of merit.” So I may be an idiot when I make the following generalization, but I think I’m right: In the coming weeks, it will be in your best interests to rely on crafty generalizations to guide your decisions.

Getting bogged down in details at the expense of the big picture—missing the forest for the trees—is a potential pitfall that you can and should avoid.

more colorful and equally correct terms is a “flamboyance” of flamingos. Similarly, a bunch of pretty insects with clubbed antennae and big fluttery wings may be called a kaleidoscope of butterflies. The collective noun for zebras can be a dazzle, for pheasants a bouquet, for larks an exaltation, and for finches a charm. In accordance with current astrological omens, I’m borrowing these nouns to describe members of your tribe. A flamboyance or kaleidoscope of Pisceans? Yes! A dazzle or bouquet or exaltation or charm of Pisceans? Yes! All of the above.
