LETTERS, SEPTEMBER 21: “DEAR MARC BENDER”

DEAR STEVE CARSON My oh my, how the Allan Savory/Quivira Coaltion pro-livestock groupies come out of the woodwork when anyone mentions how destructive livestock ranching really is!

So, we’re supposed to swallow this snakeoil ranching medicine, denying the reality of native wild species’ decline, while our public lands are denuded and turned into domesticated feed lots—with taxpayer subsidies thrown in to boot? Last year alone, 3.2 million wild animals were destroyed, mostly to appease these spoiled, subsidized ranchers, who must be removed from our public lands, period.

ROSEMARY LOWE SANTA FE

JUST QUIT EATING COWS Steve Carson continues the unsubstantiated claims of the Savory grazing method.

Researchers from the University of Arizona found that Savory’s cattle needed expensive supplemental feed, became stressed and fatigued, and lost enough weight to compromise the profitability of their meat. Even though Savory’s grazing trials took place during a period of freakishly high rainfall, with rates exceeding the average by 24 percent overall, the authors ... concluded: “No grazing system has yet shown the capacity to overcome the long-term effects of overstocking and/or drought on vegetation productivity.”

About the only people who promote Savory’s method are those who stand to gain financially from free-range beef. The carbon footprint of free-range and factory-farmed animals are equally enormous (transportation, slaughtering, refrigeration, etc.), but the methane footprint is 400 percent larger in the longer-lived free-range cattle! Methane is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and is pushing climate temperatures to unprecedented levels. No matter how you look at it scientifically, all forms of animal agriculture carry a very high price for our planet’s future habitability.

BLUE CORN

The Ragin’ Pagans!

Pack up all your cares and woes

J

BY RO BE RT B A S L E R

ust last month, Santa Feans celebrated that singular event that sets us apart from every other city. No, I’m not referring to adding our 4,000th yoga studio. No, not the opening of our new 24-hour drive-thru tattoo parlor, although that’s a good guess. I’m talking about Zozobra.

For those of you who don’t get out much, every year around Labor Day Santa Fe builds this 50-foottall flammable man, who gets a little uglier each year.

We’ve been doing this since 1924, so by now he is really, really ugly.

Then we invite people to write messages about their troubles, their betrayals and their bitter disappointments and bundle those up with unpaid bills, dunning notices, divorce papers, etc., and cram them into a “Gloom Box” that is then thrown inside Zozobra.

We set him up in Fort Marcy Park and 50,000 people gather around, and when it gets dark we set fire to the ugly dude.

Poof! All those burdens go up in flames, along with the folks in the first few rows, and 25-30 neighboring houses.

Oh, the humanity!

But here’s something I have recently learned.

There is confusion surrounding Zozobra. There are misconceptions galore. It turns out—and you could knock me over with a roadrunner feather—Zozobra isn’t legit!

I know, right? Here is an actual phone conversation I had last week with an Internal Revenue Service agent.

“Mr. Basler, our records indicate you haven’t prepared income tax returns for at least three years...”

“That’s a load of horse crap! Of course I have!”

“Then why can’t we find any record of them?”

“Because I burned them up in Zozobra! That’s how we roll here in Santa Fe.” “That’s not how we roll at the IRS, Mr. Basler. You still have to pay taxes, Zozobra or no Zozobra.”

So I had been wasting my time. I had delivered a bulging trash bag full of tax returns, speeding tickets, DNA evidence, jury summons, temporary restraining orders, 3-foot-long receipts from CVS, all the stuff that’s been bringing me down. It all went up in flames, for nothing!

But apparently I’m not the only one who’s confused. There are others far more befuddled by our little annual ritual.

The Blaze, an ultraconservative online news site, ran a video of Zozobra burning.

Not to get too clinical here, but readers

went apeshit. They quickly jumped to the only logical conclusion: that the event was an affront to Christianity.

One comment on their site said, “It seems Satanic.

Christians and other faiths pray about their worries, not burn idols to get rid of them.“ Another called Zozobra the “antithesis of Christianity.”

Yet another Blaze reader quickly got to the heart of the matter, asking, “How many illegal Americans did it take to build that thing?”

But my favorite comments were from people who missed the mention of New Mexico, and actually thought the event they were watching was taking place in Mexico.

This Christian angle isn’t new. According to a story in The New Mexican, for a number of years a Christian evangelical group stood outside the Scottish Rite Center passing out leaflets and loudly warning revelers about the devil and urging them to turn to God. People, people, people.

Lighten the hell up.

Look, if these Christians are right, and Santa Fe is on an express bus to hell, here’s something you should know about me: I’m totally licensed to drive that bus. All aboard, baby!

Raffles in 2012 suspended operations in Vietnam amid a national crackdown on international degree programs. The Ministry of Education, an arm of the country’s ruling Communist Party, found that Raffles awarded degrees to Vietnamese students from its college in Australia despite only having authorization to issue vocational diplomas. Hundreds of students suddenly learned their home country would no longer recognize their degrees. Uproar ensued.

under. Australia’s education standards agency in 2015 blocked Raffles from admitting international students to the Sydney-based school after finding multiple violations. According to court documents, the move could have affected more than 500 students. Among other violations related to record keeping, the agency found that Raffles failed to assess the English proficiency of overseas students to determine whether they could keep up in class. Raffles challenged the ruling in Australia’s federal court, but a judge sided with the regulator. Through a spokesperson, Chew declined to answer a list of questions regarding the company’s legal history in Vietnam, Thailand and Australia. He also did not comment on the status of Raffles’ purchase agreement or whether the company would change SFUAD’s name.

Asked whether the city has any concerns about the company’s legal battles abroad, city spokesman Matt Ross said there’s nothing to worry about. He noted that a transfer of ownership would be “subject to strict and extensive review process” from the Higher Learning Commission, a regional accrediting agency. “City leaders have met with Raffles several times over the course of the year and found them to be serious partners who share our excitement about this opportunity,” Ross says.

If the deal between Raffles and Laureate goes through by the end of the calendar year, as planned, the Singaporean firm will have on its hands an institution with a recently turbulent history. Formerly the College of Santa Fe, the school shut down in 2009 because of budget troubles. City officials purchased the property for $19.5 million and leased it to Laureate. It then opened as Santa Fe University of Art and Design and refocused on a narrower curriculum.

Laureate’s decision to unload SFUAD came about seven months after the Baltimore-based company, the largest for-profit higher education corporation in the world, announced its intention to go public. That hasn’t happened yet.

Laureate now finds itself in the middle of the presidential election after tax filings showed the company paid Bill Clinton about $17 million over six years to serve as an honorary chancellor, the Baltimore Sun reports. Although such arrangements are common, Republican candidate Donald Trump has made discredited assertions that the Clintons laundered millions of dollars through the company. Laureate also has a legal snag on its record. Two students sued the company’s school in Minnesota for “unnecessarily” stretching out the process for obtaining degrees. The case settled out of court.

Linked to Lynx Could New Mexico’s mountains land on the next map for Canada lynx habitat?

COLORADO DIVISION OF WILDLIFE

NEWS

BY EL IZABE TH M I LLE R el i zab et h @ s fre p o r te r.co m

B

uzzkill: We probably already do have Canada lynx in New Mexico. But a recent Montana District Court decision could mean land managers will need to make more concessions to see them thrive here.

The Canada lynx weighs in at just 14 to 31 pounds, with grizzled gray hair, ears tipped in black fur. Their large paws are ideal for traveling in the deep, powdery snow they and their favorite prey, snowshoe hares, rely on. They make their homes in forests in mosaic stages of growth—dense clusters of young trees and mature multistory stands.

When Colorado Parks and Wildlife began releasing lynx into the San Juan Mountains to re-establish the species in 1999—one year before the lynx was officially listed for protections under the Endangered Species Act—their radio tracking collars showed them immediately dispersing beyond state boundaries. They went where habitat and prey led, and at least 28 wore telemetry collars that said those conditions led them to New Mexico.

“You wouldn’t use an artificial state boundary to cut off habitat,” says Matt Bishop, with the Western Environmental Law Center. “The San Juans are a good example—the state line goes right through them, and snowshoe hares are on either side of the state line.”

Colorado wildlife managers estimate 81 lynx have passed through Northern New Mexico, though none are known to have reproduced here. Fourteen have been killed here. Monitoring of lynx telemetry collars ended in 2010, leaving their current locations unknown, but likely more than 100 lynx now live in the southern Rockies.

So it came as something of a surprise when the US Fish and Wildlife Service mapped out critical habitat for Canada lynx and excluded the southern Rockies, arguing that they lacked sufficient prey to sustain a long-term population. That the agency failed to acknowledge the successful lynx reproduction program in Colorado “runs counter to the evidence before the agency,” conservation groups argued when they took the decision to court.

A Montana District Court judge recently sided with those groups, calling on the US Fish and Wildlife Service to reassess their designated habitat for the lynx. Given the agency’s tacit acknowledgment that all other elements for lynx exist in the area, and a “close call” on whether the snowshoe hare population was sufficient, Chief District Judge Dana Christensen wrote, “the [Endangered Species Act] demands that the tie go to the species.”

Martinez on Trial Free press and open records are at the heart of the newspaper’s lawsuit against the governor.

At last, a judge will decide.

he journalists huddled, expectant but wary, around a disarranged desk in the cluttered newsroom on Marcy Street. They didn’t even know if the telephone number was hers, and for the small, sleep-starved staff— two reporters and their editor—it was a longshot anyway.

They had seen more stone walls than a prototype sedan in a crash test lab as they reported on secrecy, influence-peddling and questionable dealings that involved people in the highest reaches of state government.

Still, they had to try. The job fell to Joey Peters, then a staff writer for the Santa Fe Reporter. No one said it out loud, but as the telephone rang on June 6, 2013, Peters, his colleague, Justin Horwath, and the Reporter’s then-editor, Alexa Schirtzinger, were all thinking the same thing: “What’s she going to say?”

She answered. Then, anticlimax.

Peters identified himself, but as he fired off a litany of long-pondered, substantive questions, she suggested he contact Enrique Knell, her then-communications director. Peters told her he’d tried many times, but the well-paid spokesman was disinclined to speak.

“I wonder why,” Gov. Susana Martinez said, then hung up the phone.

“We thought: ‘Wow, it kind of sounds like they really are targeting us,’” Schirtzinger says now, recalling the truncated call more than three years later. “Clearly it isn’t that they aren’t getting our calls and requests. It’s that they don’t like us.”

The three flashed on a disturbing reality: no matter what they did—no matter

how many public records they requested under state law or how early they asked for comment before a story published—nothing was going to change.

Schirtzinger considered a growing list of unfulfilled requests made under the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act, known as IPRA. Feeling frustrated, out of options and like her efforts to bring readers the news had been hamstrung, she called Daniel Yohalem, a civil rights attorney with a long history of open government advocacy. Katherine Murray, another Santa Fe attorney, soon joined the discussion and, on Sept. 3, 2013, the Santa Fe Reporter sued Gov. Martinez.

Now, the case is going to trial. The three former Reporter staffers and its current leadership are expected to testify. So are a host of current and former Martinez administration insiders, although the governor herself is not on the witness list.

District Court Judge Sarah Singleton will decide after a three-day bench trial sheduled to begin Nov. 21 whether Martinez broke the law when she allegedly denied the existence of documents the Reporter already had, delayed the release of other records and shattered the limits of the state sunshine law to get around producing still more public documents.

The newspaper’s public records claims are not unusual, although they allege a pattern of withholding documents. The Reporter also brought a second claim, the first of its kind: that the governor violated the newspaper’s free press rights under the state constitution by consistently not responding to routine questions on gardenvariety topics from its journalists—ques-

tions submitted contemporaneously by reporters at other news organizations on the same topics.

If the newspaper prevails at trial, the lawsuit could strengthen press freedoms and access to state officials.

Peter Scheer, executive director of the Californiabased First Amendment Coalition, says Martinez’ alleged practice echoes Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s penchant for blacklisting reporters he doesn’t like.

“It happens every day in any number of different forms, because government officials and politicians don’t like to be criticized,” Scheer says. “So in an attempt to stop the criticism, they simply try to shut off the access.”

The Reporter’s victory would be a positive development, he says: “Whether it would cause public officials elsewhere to adhere more closely to constitutional requirements is highly uncertain. It would depend on how fact-specific the court’s ruling is.”

It won’t be easy. In part because the governor’s state attorneys are joined by Paul Kennedy, a respected Albuquerque-based attorney with a contract worth up to half a million dollars. Part of his argument, that the three branches of government should focus on their own roles, resonates with many judges.

The governor’s office refused to answer questions for this story. Martinez’ current press secretary, Michael Lonergan, at first said the administration does not comment on pending litigation. Reminded that Knell, his predecessor, had spoken to the Albuquerque Journal about this very lawsuit, Lonergan referred this reporter back to that statement.

Knell’s 2013 comment to the Journal reads: “It’s not a surprise that a left-wing weekly tabloid that published stolen emails containing the governor’s personal underwear order would file a baseless suit like this. Their public records requests are treated the same as every other citizen in New Mexico.”

Yohalem and Murray plan to use that statement at trial—as evidence that the Martinez administration has indeed engaged in illegal “viewpoint discrimination.”

stole documents from the National Security Administration that provided evidence of government spying on US citizens.

Here in New Mexico, Estrada pleaded guilty to his crime and was sentenced to prison.

Although the Reporter did publish an email that showed Martinez had ordered Spanx, that was never the focus of the newspaper’s reporting. Instead, its journalists used the emails Estrada pilfered to report on a vast network of influence-peddling and questionable dealings by people inside and close to the

Government officials and politicians don’t like to be criticized. So in an attempt to stop the criticism, they simply try to shut off the access.

-Peter Scheer, First Amendment Coalition

‘THE YEAR(S) IN CLOSED GOVERNMENT’

On the campaign trail, Martinez promised to run the most transparent administration in state history.

The message carried weight with New Mexicans sick of cronyism and corruption from politicians on both sides of the aisle. In short order, however, that promise was rendered hollow.

By the time Knell responded to the Journal, his focus on “stolen emails” and “the governor’s personal underwear order” was well-worn. The Martinez administration favored that approach to discussing what the emails actually showed.

Still, he had a point: The emails had been stolen by whistleblower Jamie Estrada, a former Martinez campaign manager. In 2011, Estrada had hijacked the messages from the governor’s campaign account and leaked them to third parties. The Reporter published the emails after it obtained them through a public records request to then-attorney general Gary King.

Whistleblowers have long informed public debate. Daniel Ellsberg was a military contractor when he stole the Pentagon Papers and leaked them to the press in 1971. The stories that resulted gave Americans a clearer picture of how the government waged the war in Vietnam. More recently, Edward Snowden

Martinez administration. The emails were also important because they showed Martinez and her aides were conducting state business with private email accounts, outside the prying requirements of IPRA. In December 2012, the Reporter ran an in-depth story, “The Year in Closed Government.” Penned by Horwath and Peters, it detailed how those private emails exposed “secret dealings of top government officials.” The cover portrayed Martinez as a raging giant, clutching a filing cabinet and knocking over a flaming church, Santa Fe’s Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi.

After its publication, the newspaper’s already limited access to Martinez and public records dried up completely, says Schirtzinger, the former editor.

Even on the little things—comments about policy announcements, quotes about legislation—the Reporter had been shut out.

That seemed like punishing journalists for practicing journalism. And that’s what drew Yohalem and Murray to the case.

When government officials pick and choose which news organizations get access to basic information and which don’t, Murray says, society suffers.

“The only way that I can participate in self-governance is to have free and ready access to the information without you deciding what information I’m entitled to and who I have to listen to,” she says.

Even without access, the Reporter pressed on, publishing stories into 2013 about the email network, Martinez’ denial of pardon requests, the privatization of high school equivalency exams, the governor’s meddling in the affairs of the New Mexico Finance Authority and other investigations of her administration.

Reporting on state government, however, was becoming more difficult, Schirtzinger says. Basic stories about the run-of-the-mill functions of Martinez’ government had become nearly impossible to accomplish.

“By limiting the flow of information,” she says, “they made us less effective journalistically, in terms of informing readers.”

OPPOSING COUNSEL

When the Reporter’s case goes to trial, Yohalem and Murray will face a well-travelled—and well-funded— lawyer at the opposing counsel’s table.

Paul Kennedy is a former Marine who graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 1976. Six years later, he was the Republican nominee for state attorney general, but lost the race to Democrat Paul Bardacke.

Kennedy has twice been appointed to the New Mexico Supreme Court. In 2002, then-GOP Gov. Gary Johnson gave him the nod to fill a vacancy; Kennedy did not seek election to the court at the end of the interim term. In 2012, Martinez appointed him again, but Democrat Barbara Vigil defeated him in the general election later that year.

Known for his imposing presence and incisive legal mind, Kennedy practices in civil rights and criminal defense in Albuquerque. He partnered for many years with the late Mary Han. In 2005, a state House of Representatives committee hired their firm to work on the impeachment of then-state treasurer Robert Vigil. That same year, Kennedy successfully argued for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico against the city of Albuquerque for an ordinance that allowed the city to seize and sell the vehicles of firsttime DWI offenders.

corner is the newspaper’s legal team, arguing for freedom of the press and equal access to information. In the other is Kennedy, denying each of the Reporter’s claims and arguing for the independence and separate roles of different branches of government.

Already, Kennedy has succeeded in narrowing the newspaper’s free press claim to a thin slice, and he has convinced the court that large portions of Martinez’ daily calendar—a politically charged record that has been the subject of multiple lawsuits—should remain secret.

The Reporter already has won a significant victory of its own.

Singleton rejected one of Kennedy’s central early arguments: that the governor is not obligated to answer routine questions from any particular journalist. Instead, the judge ordered that if the administration is already

speaking on a given topic, it cannot discriminate among those asking for comment.

“We’ve already established that the state of New Mexico does not allow that,” Murray says. “I think that’s a win that we all get to take home, and it doesn’t get taken away from us even if we are not successful at trial.”

Among those expected to testify at trial are Schirtzinger, who lives out of state and no longer works in journalism, and the two reporters who were in the newsroom with her the day they called the governor.

Peters works for the New Mexico Political Report news site, and Horwath is a reporter at The Santa Fe New Mexican. The Reporter’s current editor and publisher, Julie Ann Grimm, and Mark Zusman, the newspaper’s co-owner, also plan to testify.

Also on the witness list are Chris Sanchez, Martinez’ communications director, and Knell, who preceeded him in the job. Pamela Cason, the state’s records custodian, is expected to testify, as are Scott Darnell, the governor’s former chief of staff, and her current chief of staff, Keith Gardner.

There is still plenty to fight for at trial.

Delays, denials and incomplete responses to IPRA requests formed the basis for the Reporter’s public records claims. And the administration’s failure to respond to the newspaper’s inquiries—while officials did respond to journalists another news organizations who were reporting on the same matters—led to the free press violation claim.

Judge Singleton will also consider three IPRA issues. The first concerns the governor’s calendars, which would show who she meets with. Although the judge has already ruled Martinez can withhold portions of the calendars deemed “political,” if Singleton rules that the administration illegally delayed its denial of the Reporter’s request, the newspaper could win damages.

The newspaper also could win damages, fees and attorneys’ costs if Singleton rules that Martinez’ staff improperly withheld requested pardon records for months on end.

Finally, the Reporter has argued that the governor’s administration did not turn over emails the journalists had already obtained from the Estrada cache. Instead, the state records custodian claimed they didn’t exist. To fix that problem, the newspaper seeks an enforceable IPRA compliance process that ensures custodians properly identify public records and provide them to requesters.

The free press claim is less clear-cut.

Scheer, of the First Amendment Coalition, says it is well-settled law that government officials cannot exclude a disfavored reporter from a news conference.

Nor can they kick a reporter off a news release distribution list for writing a critical article. At the other end of the spectrum, the press cannot compel government speech. Officials may choose which reporters get oneon-one interviews, for example, and reporters cannot force officials to speak about particular issues.

The Reporter’s claim falls in the middle: The journalists allege the Martinez administration stonewalled their requests for basic information that officials were giving numerous reporters from other news organizations.

To prove that, Yohalem and Murray plan to use emails that show Knell, the former spokesman, responding to reporters from the Albuquerque Journal,

the Associated Press and other organizations, but ignoring Peters’ and Horwath’s nearly identical requests for comment on the same topics.

“One of the things that does not have to be proven at trial is that the Santa Fe Reporter has a specific viewpoint, or even a unique viewpoint,” Murray says, adding that government officials can’t discriminate against a speaker, or in this case, a reporter, even if officials think the reporter is biased.

Kennedy has pushed back on the free press claim, arguing that the Reporter was not treated differently. Rather, he says that the governor’s staff was busy with more important matters—responding to wildAttorneys Katherine Murray and Daniel Yohalem represent the Reporter. fires and floods, for example, when the Reporter’s inquiries came in.

Supreme Court Justice Murray Gurfein wrote: And even if the newspaper had been singled out, Kennedy argues that it is not up to Judge Singleton to “The security of the nation is not at the ramparts alone. Security also lies in the value of our free inreset the balance.

“Under separation-of-powers principles, it is for stitutions. A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, the governor to decide to whom and on what topics an ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in aushe and her staff choose to speak in order to carry out thority in order to preserve the even greater values of their official duties,” he writes in a motion. “Speak- freedom of expression and the right of the people to ing to one reporter does not trigger a constitutional know.”

The Reporter’s case could move the needle on naright of every other reporter to talk to the Governor. … Moreover, the court lacks both the institutional ca- tional free press law.

Kennedy’s separation-of-powers argument is like- federal courts hearing First Amendment cases.

“This is the first case to be brought under the free ly to find at least some purchase with Singleton, says Maryam Ahranjani, a professor of constitutional and press clause on this kind of an issue in New Mexico,” criminal law at the University of New Mexico School says Yohalem.

But because bad facts make bad law, it’s risky to and throw elbows at the executive branch, lest they wander into the territory of making law, rather than bring these kinds of broad claims.

A loss for the Reporter could create a precedent that interpreting it.

Singleton has signaled that she intends to hear allows more secrecy in government. And if the judge both sides on whether Martinez violated the state agrees with Kennedy, it would vindicate Martinez, a constitution. But she has made clear that, because the second-term governor with national aspirations and governor’s office has a “public forum” through which flagging poll numbers who has touted transparency as it releases routine news and comments on issues, the a pillar of her time in office.

Marsh was so impressed she named one of five new species of flying saki monkeys she discovered after Isabel (Pithecia Isabela).

After the performance and a short Q&A, Marsh speaks on her upcoming 2017 scientific expedition dubbed “Houseboat Amazon.” In a remote corner of Brazil, she and her crew plan to search for lost types of saki monkeys that she describes as “fluffy, uglyish cats that run on tops of trees.” A houseboat will serve as a field station for Marsh’s own modern-day adventure.

As the warm outdoor season comes to a close into Santa Fe, a performance about an expedition across the steamy Amazon resulting in death, disease and a lone survivor is sure to satisfy anyone’s itch for adventure. Director Barbara Hatch and screenwriter Laura Marsh present a staged reading of Across the Amazons as part of a series of similar events by BlackShirtReads, a group that puts on table reads of screenplays. This historical adventure recounts the true story of Isabel Grameson Godin, a woman who, in 1769, left her aristocratic life in colonial Peru (now Ecuador) to embark on a perilous journey through the Amazon jungle in search of her 20-years-absent husband in French Guiana. As a not-so-young (for her era) woman of 40, Godin wound up alone in the Amazon for a month after everyone in her expedition betrayed her, fled or died. Godin survived insect infestations, loss of supplies and other calamities to reunite with her love.

Eros is in between.” Her book Autobiography of Red (1998) is a verse novel inspired by the Greek myth of Geryon and Herakles, set in the modern world. She has published nearly 20 books of poetry, essays, and translations, including An Oresteia (2010), which presents the stories of Agamemnon, Elektra, and Orestes. Carson received a Lannan Literary Award in 1996, a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1998, and a MacArthur Fellowship in 2000.

She is an artist-in-residence at New York University, and teaches in collaboration with her husband, Robert Currie. In 2014 Carson published Red Doc>, where her characters Geryon and Herakles from Autobiography of Red return. In this book she warns, “To live past the end of your myth is a perilous thing.”

Hey Fela

Fiesta Fela’s sixth year is bigger and better than ever

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

T COURTESY FIESTA FELA

hough Cameroonian ex-pat Kamajou Tadfour has called Santa Fe home since 1999, it wasn’t until 2010 that his nonprofit organization Afreeka Santa Fe kicked off their annual Fiesta Fela event. According to Tadfour, the festival, inspired by legendary African musician and activist Fela Kuti, is meant to preserve and exchange traditional and contemporary African arts and culture with a larger global market. Santa Fe, he says, is perfect for this.

“It’s a very spiritual place; it’s natural and spiritual and it reminds me of my home village, but Fiesta

Fela is not about any one specific country in Africa,” Tadfour tells SFR. “When the lines [of countries] were drawn on the map, nobody cared about who was where, and you’ll have the same clan in two or three different countries, so we don’t want to give emphasis to artificial borders—we can agree it’s a very diverse place. Fela, for example, always just said that he was African.”

In its six years, Fiesta Fela has grown from relatively meager beginnings into one of the larger annual events in town with live bands, dancing, arts and crafts demos plus food trucks, vendors and more.

“More than anything, I’m happy to start something from seed and see it grow,” Tadfour says. “It might sound a bit pompous, but when I came to Santa Fe

there were no black people. And if you think there are no black people today, let me tell you, there were just none [in 1999]. I felt isolated when I came here.” Tadfour says the black population grew after Hurricane Katrina and that the time leading up to his inaugural version of the festival was about recognizing the African community. “We wanted Fiesta Fela to be the face of the African world in Santa Fe, and in a big art community that African presence is important,” he says. “The more permanent something like this can be, the more it signals our existence in town.”

For the upcoming iteration of the Fiesta Fela (which just so happens to fall on what would have been Fela Kuti’s 76th birthday), music from across the continent takes center stage. Santa Fe University of Art & Design’s African Drum Ensemble performs alongside Jordan Solis and the Trybe, the Swank Brothers, Agalu, Bells and Shakers and many more.

Tadfour says they’ll also host poetry as well as everyday people who grace the stage with dance and music so as to provide the most well-rounded overview of African cultures possible. The Jambo Café food truck will be there, too, with all of the authentic African cuisine that entails.

“It’s not condemning anybody, but the knowledge of Africa here is very limited. So if we can educate people, if we can do a show here that’s multi-ethnic and multi-cultural … this is what I wanted,” Tadfour continues. “I consider Fiesta Fela successful because we’re bringing people together and we’re exchanging cultures. I’m talking about the human success— we’re not financially successful by any meaning of the word—but with the mission we started with, I think it’s successful.”

Afreeka Santa Fe currently operates under the fiscal umbrella of teen arts center Warehouse 21, but Tadfour to achieve 501(c)(3) status this year and says he’ll continue to plan and execute Fiesta Fela for as long as he can. “We started so small, but we’ve reached a place with support from the community where we can begin applying for grants,” he says. “I’m looking forward to even bigger things.”

ASH HAYWOOD/MORGAN CAPP

THE LAST SUPPER Justin Crowe invites six living souls—and 200 spirits—to dinner

BY J O R DA N E D DY @jordaneddyart

T

“

tin Jus

o Cr

hank you guys for coming,” says Justin Crowe. “There are over 200 people mixed into a glaze and then covering functional pottery, which is the functional pottery that you guys are going to eat off of today.”

The six mortals at this supper are gathered around the dining room table of a modern adobe mansion off Artist Road. It’s the home of Garth Clark and Mark Del Vecchio, owners of the online ceramics magazine CFile, and Crowe is their house sitter-cum-artist-inresidence. “This is part of a project to infuse a sense of mortality into these average moments of life,” Crowe continues. “Drinking your morning coffee all of a sudden is this totally different experience when you’re confronting this abstracted symbol of death.”

All is quiet as we examine the tableware before us: a cutting board with a loaf of bread atop it, small bread plates, bowls filled with salad and cups brimming with red wine. The works are glazed in subtly shifting shades of seafoam green, a family of hues that evokes wispy atmosphere, and they are delightful to view and hold. It’s hard to imagine that these smooth objects, which are cheerfully titled Nourish, are plastered with human remains.

Crowe bought fragments of bones online, mostly from old anatomy skeletons, and reduced them to ashes in the kiln of his studio partner, Rachel Donner.

He replaced a common ingredient in ceramics glaze with the powdery material, et voilà—pottery straight out of Soylent Green.

“That’s the project, and have fun,” Crowe says, drifting off into the kitchen. There’s nothing to do but seize our utensils and dive in. I gently spear a tomato that tops my salad, trying not to scrape the bottom of the bowl. I’d already learned of Crowe’s project on a visit to his studio on Lena Street. There were yellowed bones and a little bowl of ash sitting on a tabletop and a few unglazed ceramics on a nearby shelf. Crowe dipped his fingers in the ash and gave it a stir, explaining how he pulverized the bones. He fired them in Donner’s kiln overnight, and in the morning they were brittle enough to crush into a powder. The pro-

cess made the whole floor of the building smell like a rotting corpse for days, and Crowe worried about complaints from other tenants. Donner sat nearby as Crowe told the story, casually interjecting as she painted ceramics.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been talking to artist-y kinds of people,” says Donner, who sits to my left at the dinner. “But they’re like, ‘Oh, cool. That’s really cool.’”

Sandra Wang and Crockett Bodelson, who make art under the moniker SCUBA, also seem unfazed by the project’s premise as they munch on bread to my right.

“I feel like people already have a lot of spiritual feelings about arts and crafts,” says Wang. “Processing death through this craft form seems pretty reverent to me.”

Filmmakers Morgan Capps and Ash Haywood circle the table with cameras, capturing snippets of conversation and close-ups of the dishes.

The commercial success of the project hinges not on the opinions of the dinner guests, but on a much larger audience that will witness this ceremony through an online video.

Crowe just launched a business, Chronicle Cremation Designs, that will sell ceramics imbued with the ashes of customers’ loved ones.

“It seems like it’s philosophically tied to Buddhism,” says Bodelson, examining his cup. “It’s we reincarnation; Buddha goes into everything; people go into everything.

Now that’s an actual reality.”

Writer Marie Claire Bryant, who sits across from me next to photographer Christian Michael Filardo, furrows her brow. “I wonder if some people might feel it’s inappropriate because you’re trapping a dead person in this stuff,” she says. With that, the conversation takes a darker turn. We discuss Jamestown, Jonestown and the Salem witch trials. Donner, who descends from the Donner family of the infamous pioneer expedition, admits to tasting a pinch of the ashes with Crowe. The meal starts to feel like an eerie pagan ritual as Crowe delivers the main course of pork tenderloin.

This is the risk of using any type of human residue in your work: The medium often eclipses the message.

With 2007’s “For the Love of God,” Damien Hirst bedazzled a human skull with 8,601 diamonds, and was skewered by critics for using his art as a brazen marketing tool. In 1987, Andres Serrano photographed a plastic crucifix in a vat of his own urine and produced “Piss Christ,” an icon of the enduring political debate about funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. These works are inextricable from their sensational stories, and it clouds our ability to interpret them in more than one way. Is Crowe guilty of crude gimmickry?

After dinner, he and I sit across from each other at the table while the rest of the guests smoke on the patio. Capps and Haywood chase after a fly with their cameras, hoping it will land on a corpse-infused cup.

“It’s funny; I didn’t really think of the dinner as a performance, but it totally was,” Crowe says. “I liked the conversation, because that’s the point of the project: to talk about this thing so much that it no longer becomes scary or swept under the rug.” That’s certainly been the effect of the project on him, though he recently witnessed a friend suffer a stroke and considered abandoning the piece altogether. “I haven’t had any tragic deaths in my life. I’ve had deaths, but it was an old person who got old,” says Crowe. “That moment was as close as I’ve gotten to feeling like I was looking at death. I thought, ‘I’m putting this out there, and people who’ve had that experience, this is how they’re going to feel.’”

And yet, when I fit one of his impeccably crafted cups into my palm, Crowe’s project feels peaceful and innocuous, and the tenderness at the heart of the artist’s endeavor really does undercut one of our society’s biggest taboos.

In any case, Crowe doesn’t want to be universally admired. “I’m of the opinion that if everyone likes your art, it hasn’t really succeeded as art,” he says. “It hasn’t progressed anything or started a conversation.

There has to be some kind of dialogue. That dialogue is usually, ‘Is it good or bad? Is it effective or not effective? Did I like it or not like it?’”

THE CALENDAR while, consider renting. But please don’t misconstrue anything I’ve written here as encouragement to date women your own age: They deserve better.

I’m 64 years young, a musician, chubby, full head of hair, no Viagra needed, no alcohol, I don’t mind if you drink, smoker, yes I am.

I am also faithful, loyal, and single for five years. No health issues, nada, zero, zilch. Not gay, not prejudiced against gays, pro-woman, Democrat, MASCULINE. Except I only like the younger women and women without tattoos.

And I like them FEMININE. Ladies my age are a shopping bag of issues with children and ex-hubbies. NO THANK YOU. So what’s my problem? Young women see me as an old gizzard. I am not ugly, and I look younger than 64. But I see what younger women go for.

These girls are missing out on me because they would rather be abused, cheated on, and kicked around by some young prince. Be my guest, dear! Another problem is that I don’t go to bars or really go out at all, so how the hell am I going to meet a girl? But I long for a girl I can cherish. I’m even willing to marry the right girl if she wishes, no problema. Who cares about age? I sure don’t, but they sure do. Of course, I will die first; she can keep the car and everything else for that matter.

I can’t take it with me. So I have about 24 more years of life and I don’t want to wait.

Dreaming is free, of course, but I want it right here, right now. Am I asking for too much?

-Oblivious Ladies Disregard Elder Romeo Who cares about age? You, OLDER, you care about age.

You rule out dating women your own age and then toss out two and possibly three stupid rationalizations for not staying in your actuarial lane: Women your age have children, ex-husbands, and tattoos(?). All bullshit.

Women your own age might be likelier to have children and ex-husbands, but there are plenty of childless women out there in their 50s and 60s, OLDER, younger women are likelier to have tattoos, and everyone (yourself included) has exes.

And excuse me, but women your own age are a shopping bag of issues? You’re a shopping mall’s worth of issues yourself, OLDER. Issue number one: You can’t be honest, even in an anonymous forum, about why you wanna date younger women—they make your grizzled old dick hard—so you take a dump on all older women. Issue number two: male entitlement syndrome. (The universe doesn’t owe you a younger woman, OLDER; the universe doesn’t actually owe you shit.) Issues three, four, and five: an inability to spot your own hypocrisy (I mean, come on), a clear preference for nursing a fantasy (the young woman of your nicotine-stained dreams) over accepting reality (there’s no settling down without settling for), and the probability that you’ve watched way too many movies with actresses in their 20s playing the romantic interests of actors in their 60s and 70s.

If I may be blunt(er): You’re an older man, you’re a smoker, you’re out of shape, you don’t leave the house much, and, most fatally of all, you harbor resentment for the objects of your desire (“Be my guest, dear!”), something objects of desire always pick up on and are almost always repulsed by. (Let’s all light a little candle for the ones who aren’t.) So unless you’re a billionaire or an A-list actor, OLDER, the young woman of your dreams is unlikely to break into your apartment. (There’s not a lot of overlap between the young gerontophile community and the burglar community.) Not even the prospect of inheriting a used car 24 years from now is going to land you a young woman.

My advice, OLDER: Keep dreaming. And if you want to be with a young woman once in a

I am a 63-year-old man and I am engaged to a wonderful woman in her 50s and our sex life is great. My libido is off the charts when I am with her, and she is always initiating.

She told me she used to enjoy teasing and watching guys online shoot while she played with (and exposed) herself, and she loves to see huge loads. It is a massive turn-on for her. But I’m at an age where I produce hardly anything when I ejaculate. Is there a way to increase my production? Is there some way to increase the volume of my loads by a large amount? We watch porn that has guys shooting seemingly endless streams and she gets crazy horny watching them. I would love to be able to do the same!

-Need To Fill The Girl Hydrate more, NTFTG, and go longer between orgasms (days, weeks), and you might see a moderate increase in volume. But you’re never gonna blow loads like you did in your teens and 20s, and you’re never gonna blow loads like guys do in porn. Remember: Porn producers, professional and amateur, select for big load blowers, NTFTG, so those samples (and those loads) are skewed. So what you’re doing now—enjoying your fiancée while not denying her the pleasure of watching her porn (and then reaping the rewards yourself)—is without a doubt your best course of action.

I’m a 56-year-old widow. My husband died suddenly eight years ago. We had no children. I’ve learned how to get along on my own, and until recently, living alone didn’t bother me. Lately, though, I’ve become lonely. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life alone. The problem is that, since menopause hit, I no longer desire sex. I only miss cuddling and holding hands. My body shut the door on sex, and for the most part, I’m fine with it. (Sex with my late husband was truly terrible.) Should I just accept that I’m destined to spend the rest of my life alone?

-Ready To Give Up Don’t suppose you’d be interested in a 64-year-old who doesn’t leave the house much and feels entitled to a child- and tattoofree twentysomething but might be willing to settle? There could be used car in it for you.

No? Then here’s another option: There are men out there—some around your age, some older, some significantly older—who aren’t interested in and/or capable of having sex anymore. Many of these men want companionship, too, and they lurk on dating websites, afraid to respond because they wrongly assume all the women on OurTime.com or SeniorMatch.com are looking for older guys who can get it up and get it in. Create a profile and be honest about what you want (companionship, intimacy) and don’t want (sex), RTGU, and you’ll hear from men who want a life partner and a cuddle buddy, not a sex partner or a fuck buddy.

Finally, RTGU, if you’re content without sex, I’m content. But I can’t help wondering if your terrible-at-sex husband didn’t create a negative association that a more considerate, attentive partner might be able to break.

If you spoke to your doctor about treatment options and then landed in bed with a man who was kind, considerate, and capable, but content just to cuddle—so no pressure—you might find yourself wanting to reopen that door.

RAILYARD URGENT CARE

RHODA ROHNSTOCK

Seminal punk band MDC’s founder/singer Dave Dictor’s life has been richer thanks to punk rock, and now he’s written a memoir full of stories and musings, trials and tribulations titled MDC—Memoir from a Damaged Civilization: Stories of Punk, Fear and Redemption. Dictor appears twice on Saturday, Oct. 15, once at a book signing at The Matador (6 pm, free, 116 W San Francisco St.) and later that night at The Underground (9 pm, $10, 200 W San Francisco St.) with his full-on band. MDC hasn’t appeared in Santa Fe since 1983, so ... Get on that. (Alex De Vore) What the hell took you so long to come back?

I raised a kid somewhere in there, and to be honest, Santa Fe kind of fell off the map. I’m covering networks I haven’t played in some time, and we’ve got over 100 gigs on this tour. I really like the idea that we’re doing smaller or medium American cities; I’m glad Santa Fe made the cut.

What was your writing experience like?

I wanted to capture me. I wanted to see what made me tick. Somehow, my path led into it. I took care of my brother in hospice, and he passed, and three or four months on I was breaking down my parents’ house in New York—they had passed, too—and I was realizing I had no energy and was feeling worse and worse, and I wound up in the hospital. I had gotten this MRSA infection from my brother, and I’m laying there in this hospital in New York and I realized how mortal we are and that I should get these snippets down. I was posting them on Facebook and got this really warm response so I had to go for it. Even after I was out of the hospital I had to take it easy another month. ... There’s nothing like being stuck in bed for a month to get creative.

Do you think punk rock is still a sustainable ethos or viable path?

I think punk rock is going to be around 300 years from now. I think as long as kids are feeling alienated there’s going to be punk rock. I do think it’s viable, and I’m just so proud to be doing it and to be a part of it. I think the angst and energy of punk will sustain itself.

FOOD

A kitchen garden drives the menu year-round at Arroyo Vino

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 winding drive from Highway 599 gives hungry patrons just enough time to adjust to the peaceful setting of Arroyo Vino, which is attached to a wine shop of the same name. The shop is serious—offering more than 800 different wines, all of which are available at retail price with a corkage fee—but the restaurant is no afterthought.

Nestled in the bosom of the hi-tone Las Campanas development, Arroyo Vino has a built-in audience of well-heeled patrons who can afford to be regulars, but this luxe farm-to-table restaurant should be on anyone’s short list for a spectacular splurge.

SFR has written about the restaurant’s chef, Colin Shane, a 20-something who previously worked with Martin Rios at Restaurant Martín. At Arroyo Vino, Shane took over from chef Mark Connell (who’s now at State Capital Kitchen) and created the kitchen garden that heavily influences the restaurant’s menu.

“I worked at places that had small herb gardens, more for show than anything,” Shane says. But Arroyo Vino had plenty of open space just out the back door. They put in a few tomatoes at first, then added more and more. “Next thing we know we expanded to almost 2 acres, including about 20 raised beds, a 40foot hoop house and a greenhouse.”

And much of what the garden produces does end up on the plate, adding supremely fresh flavor—and contributing to uniquely beautiful presentations, especially in the summer. In early September, a salad of heirloom tomatoes from the garden ($18) was showered with a confetti of edible flower petals, while fried squash blossoms ($18) were stippled with Calabrian chile and surrounded by an emerald green aureole of nasturtium pesto.

A duo of Pekin duck ($32) matched a seared pressé of shredded duck confit with a dark, lacquered section of tender breast, while medallions of beef tenderloin ($42) were nearly upstaged by a bone marrow flan.

DELICIOUS!

How festive is this heirloom tomato salad? Super-festive.

By early October the menu had shifted to take advantage of fall produce, with a roasted sunchoke soup ($16), a roasted spaghetti squash and Brussels sprouts entree ($27) and a poached quince tart for dessert ($12).

Shane is trying to extend the garden’s reach by canning, freezing, pickling and fermenting ingredients that will appear on the menu through the winter.

“I’m building a pantry of things that are outside of the box from the chile, corn and beans that you see everywhere,” he says.

The menu often features foraged ingredients like mushrooms, berries and nettles. The gardeners are trying to plant more of those things, along with fruit trees, to increase the presence of native ingredients.

The menu changes a little nearly every week as Shane adjusts to what’s coming out of the garden.

“They came to me today and said we have to uproot all the shiso, so now we have 10 pounds of shiso that I need to use in the next few days in order to make sure it doesn’t go to waste,” Shane said last week. Sure enough, that evening’s menu featured a starter of wild matsutake mushrooms garnished with the aromatic purple herb.

Occasionally an ambitious use of garden ingredients fails—a garnish of tasteless puffed amaranth or a less-than-sweet local peach—but overall, the food is expertly prepared and creatively composed. The duck skin was crispy while the meat was medium-ra-

re; the squash blossoms were crunchy on the outside while the cheese inside was perfectly melted.

Gluten-free diners will find the majority of the menu safe for exploration, but vegetarians may not be thrilled with the somewhat uninspiring meat-free dishes; recent offerings have included a generic “vegetable tasting plate” and an underwhelming spaghetti squash/Brussels sprout combo.

Because each dish has many ingredients, vegans might want to call ahead and see what’s possible on a particular night. (The most recent menu is usually, but not always, posted online.)

The spare dining room—well fenestrated and painted a deep blue—fills up even mid-week, and a lively crowd makes the place feel fun but not wild.

On a recent visit the service was outstanding. An attentive, informed and gracious server, who answered nearly every question (of many) that we had about the food, made us feel truly pampered.

So put Arroyo Vino on the list for your next celebration—or make dinner a celebration in itself.

Shin Godzilla Review: Gojira! by alex de vore alex@sfreporter.com

If one can set aside the technological limitations of early Godzilla films (or the complete garbage train wreck that was 1998’s Matthew Broderick-led American reboot) and attempt to view the nigh innumerable entries in the long-running series as a sort of postWWII allegory on the horrors of nuclear weapon testing and/or deployment, they become so much more than sim-

The 31st film in the long-running series does everything right

ple monster movies. As far as making a statement goes, or even spearheading the beloved Japanese kaiju film movement, Godzilla as metaphorical creation is actually quite brilliant, rubber suit or no. This has meant 30 films thus far and, with Shin Godzilla (also known as Godzilla Resurgence), we hit 31.

With the careful vision of directors Hideaki Anno (primarily an anime director who served as the mastermind behind the celebrated Neon Genesis Evangelion series and who also penned

rean monster flick The Host, and the campy classic kaiju cinema of the ’50s and ’60s. The monster’s rampage and accelerated evolution are brilliantly creative—sometimes it’s freaky disgusting and sometimes it’s the iconic look we all know and love, but in either case it’s overall fun as hell to see buildings collapse, boats go flying and the seemingly sentient tail crush all obstacles in its path.

Of course, Godzilla has always been somewhat tragic as a character and story, but it’s an incredibly clever means to make a covert and subversive political statement. Longtime fans will surely love the throwback elements of Shin Godzilla and find a finely crafted homage to the elements that make the beast such an enduring cinematic force. The real magic, however, will be the entire new generation that finds its introduction to the character and themes and possibly even the larger kaiju genre.

This is the perfect film for parents and their kids, albeit containing some degree of violence and monster terror.

Regardless, Anno and Shiguchi have cobbled together one of the finest entries in franchise history, and in a series that has run this long, that’s saying something.

the screenplay) and Shinji Higuchi (Attack on Titan), this newest rebootesque stab at the fiction pulls extensively from famous Godzilla set pieces and lore as they deftly straddle the fence somewhere between high-quality cinema and just goofy enough to remain fun. The main issue with 1998’s Godzilla was always the bizarre choice to take a more serious tone, but Anno and Higuchi know what works when it comes to everybody’s favorite monster lizard: keeping it tongue-in-cheek.

You know the story already (or should by now … engage with the culture once in awhile, jeez)—a gargantuan lizard, the product of radiation, emerges from the sea to wreak havoc on an unprepared Japan. We’re given some light science to mull over as the government cuts through miles of red tape to enact a plan. As a musing on the frustrations of bureaucracy, this is hysterical and Shin Godzilla truly shines in scenes that find the country’s top brass attempting to identify and deal with the monster while keeping casualties low. Such moments are downright funny, adding a human element that versions of the films cut for American audiences have tended to gloss over.

We’re even given absurdly extraneous information like the exact floor and corridor of a government building the characters wind up walking through.

It’s odd, but delightful—as are the special effects, which oscillate between high-quality, reminiscent of 2006 Ko-

French director Rémi Chayé (who worked as an animator on 2009’s The Secret of Kells) proves this incontrovertibly with Long Way North, a film about a young Russian girl who abandons the aristocracy in search of her grandfather Oloukine, an explorer who disappeared some years back while looking for a serviceable route through the North Pole.

Sasha (Christa Théret) is your typical brash young character who ignores her father’s overbearing wishes, thinks nothing of insulting the heartless head of her government’s science ministry and who is much more in her element poring over charts and maps than attending fancy balls.

This kind of storyline is obviously nothing we haven’t seen before (that’s not how young women are supposed to act!). But the sense that Sasha’s loss is so unbearable she’d leave behind a comfortable life surpasses the cut-and-paste nature of, oh say, Disney films, wherein characters are generally thrust into extraordinary circumstances rather than actively seeking them out. It’s a little bit uplifting but also relatable, whether the viewer is a young

person who uses a sense of immortality to charge headlong into the unknown or someone with more experience who might chuckle to themselves knowing that sometimes the only way to actually learn is to make the mistakes.

Through flashbacks we piece together that Sasha and her grandfather are kindred spirits, and without overtly shoving it in our faces, we get a sense that the missing Oloukine practically calls to her from somewhere in the icy expanses of the far north. This propels her ever further into both maturity and independence, and by the time we reach the climax, Sasha is almost an entirely different person. These are important lessons for young people, maybe even more so for young women who are so constantly bombarded with the idea that one day their prince will come and then they’ll never have to worry about making their own way in the world ever again.

The simplicity of the art direction never subtracts from the final product; if anything, it redirects our attention to the importance of character development or the various calamities our heroine manages to escape while creating a strong sense of place and momentum. Thus, we’re left with a lot to think about, which makes Long Way North a no-brainer.

Center for Contemporary Arts, PG, 81 min.

AUTHOR: THE JT LEROY STORY When a young man penetrates the literary scene in the early years of the century, he’s compared to William Faulkner and Flannery O’Connor. He speaks with a lilting Southern accent and what he writes is mind-blowing in its darkness and artistry. It’s disturbing and confusing; it’s fiction and art born from experience. Then the tables turn, and journalists get help from insiders to reveal that hit “it” lit sensation JT LeRoy ain’t who he says he is. But is he a lie and a hoax? Or is the woman holding the pen channeling someone else? Is the avatar she created an ethical breach or the ultimate meaning of fiction?

If this kind of puzzle turns you on, meet Laura Albert. She published two novels, a collection of short stories and a number of screenplays and articles under the name JT LeRoy. But more than that, she carried on hours of phone conversations and exchanged correspondence with writers, actors and musicians as LeRoy while simultaneously presenting a dressed-up relative to the media and some of those same celebrities. All the while, she was nearby posing as his friend and caregiver.

Granted, this topic is a web of misdirection and omission, but the way Albert’s retelling is pieced together leaves the viewer in a dizzy and disjointed frenzy CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

What’s a young and wealthy Russian girl to do when her explorer grandfather goes missing? Head the eff north, that’s what. of time, space and characters.

Relying heavily on audio cassette recordings of Albert’s phone calls, the documentary also has plenty of creepy video and fuzzy photos from what she says is her own troubled past.

Our armchair psychology meter goes off when she says things like LeRoy “came through this body.” But Albert swears this isn’t multiple personality disorder. Her avatar emerged in part because writing from a female perspective was traumatizing. Writing as a boy, she says, came effortlessly. “The book,” she says by way of explanation, “says on the jacket ‘fiction.’ The rest is extra.” (Julie Ann Grimm) Jean Cocteau Cinema, R, 110 min.

THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK - THE TOURING YEARS Practically everyone is familiar with the story of The Beatles and their rise from the basement venues of Liverpool and Hamburg to unprecedented crowds of screaming fans.

For those who weren’t there, however, what is left is a mere idea of what Beatle-Mania was truly like and an intellectual understanding of the insanity sans experience. Director Ron Howard (In the Heart of the Sea) provides an in-depth look into those early years of the band from 1963 to 1966, as well as their impact on the globe in The Beatles: Eight Days a Week-The Touring Years, a new documentary opening at the Center for Contemporary Arts a full two days before hitting its intended home at hulu. com.

Through found footage, hundreds of photographs, television/radio coverage and decades of sound bites and interviews, Howard weaves together one of the most intimate portraits of the Fab Four’s younger days that we’ve ever seen, and it doles out the feels in both jubilant and heartbreaking fashion.

It’s a story that outwardly showcases society’s sick obsession with fame or being famous, but that also examines the psychological toll taken on Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr in a riveting way. Certainly none of them were opposed to their fame at first, but as the years rolled by and the music creation began to play a secondary role to rabid curiosity and borderline psychotic fandom, we begin to understand why The Beatles eventually became studio hermits and ditched the live shows. Much of the real substance—or at least the consequence of fame—is saved for the final half hour, which is unfortunate despite the fun of watching four close friends take on the world. By the time we get to the famous Shea Stadium concert

of ’66 (that’s the one that basically made ‘em quit), we can see exactly why they were burnt out, but Eight Days a Week doesn’t spend quite enough time focused on the actual impact their hectic existence had on their personal lives.

It’s excellent to see how much they looked out for one another, and the soundtrack is obviously crammed with Beatles gold, but this one might not have major appeal to those who aren’t Beatle-maniacs or already know the tale.

THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Hold onto your hats, because here comes another remake—this time in the form of legendary Western The Magnificent Seven (which was itself a retelling of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai). In this new iteration, the blackhearted Bartholomew Bogue (a cartoonishly evil Peter Sarsgaard) is hell-bent on taking over the small valley town of Rose Creek, and the people who live there are pretty sad about it.

Cue social unrest exploding into street violence and a whole mess of murders.

Observing her husband gunned down in broad daylight doesn’t sit too well with Emma Cullen (Haley Bennett), so she hires a duly licensed warrant officer named Chisolm (Denzel Washington) to take Bogue down. “I seek righteousness,” Emma says, “but I shall take revenge.” Dang!

Chisolm takes on the job, natch, and it seems like maybe he has his own mysterious reasons for pursuing Bogue—but he can’t do it alone. This is where the six other guys come into play, though their motivations are flimsy at best. Faraday (the always likeable Chris Pratt), for example, owes Chisolm for getting his horse out of hock, and Goodnight Robicheaux (a surprisingly decent Ethan Hawke) joins because, uh … well, he just does. Ditto for his stereotypical Asian pal Billy Rocks (Bynughun Lee), the tracker Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), a Mexican outlaw named Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo) and a loner Comanche warrior named Red Harvest (whom they meet completely by chance and who joins the posse because he seemingly didn’t have anything else going on—played by Martin Sensmeier).

It’s fun enough to watch the assemblage of the group, and there is definite chemistry between Washington and Pratt, but this must be about the most predictable movie of all time. And sure, it’s a remake, but we honestly expected a more sophisticated retelling from such an accomplished writer (True Detective mastermind Nic Pizzolatto). Everything plays

ok Author: The JT LeRoy Story is one of the weirdest docs we’ve ever seen. out exactly how you’d expect and the overused filmic devices just keep on a-coming. It sure is entertaining, though, and one does wonder how on earth a two-hour film that’s basically just dudes getting shot in the face didn’t pick up the R rating. Regardless, The Magnificent Seven is fine. Just fine. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 133 min.

SNOWDEN Oliver Stone doesn’t do short and sweet. He does long and developed. Most of the time, he’s even really good at doing important, tense, conflicted moments in US history. If there’s a confusing saga that’s worth this kind of unweaving and reassembly, that of domestic surveillance whistleblower Edward Snowden seems to qualify; Stone conveys its importance in a story that feels expertly dramatic.

By now, the furor surrounding Snowden’s remarkable 2013 actions has died down, and this biopic that hits the highlights of his forever-changed life revives a tale that could fall into the virtual weeds of computer jargon.

Instead, it grows into a furious flower under the storied director’s hand and with the solid foundation laid by an earlier award-winning documentary, Citizenfour, directed by Laura Poitras.

Stone is certainly sympathetic to his cause, sticking to the theme that Snowden has continued to preach: He leaked classified documents that revealed extensive data collection methods by the United States government so that the people of the nation could debate their use and consequences.

Government officials say Snowden is far from a hero, having committed treason on the modern battlefield, and their perspective clearly wears the black hat in Stone’s packed narrative.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s (Inception) depiction of boyish Snowden has audiences swooning for a loveable love story while cringing at the difficult decisions he makes. When the camera shifts in the final frames to the real Ed, the transition is seamless enough to reinforce how believable the effort came off. (JAG) Violet Crown, Regal, R, 134 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT MASSAGE THERAPY REDUCE EMF/RF Rob Brezsny

Week of October 12th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) A study published in the peer-reviewed Communications Research suggests that only 28 percent of us realize when someone is flirting with us. I hope that figure won’t apply to you Aries in the coming weeks. According to my analysis of the astrological situation, you will be on the receiving end of more invitations, inquiries, and allurements than usual.

The percentage of these that might be worth responding to will also be higher than normal. Not all of them will be obvious, however. So be extra vigilant.

extraordinary capacity to surprise yourself. Novel impulses will be rising up in you on a regular basis.

Unpredictability and spontaneity will be your specialties.

Have fun doing what you don’t usually do!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The ancient Greek sage Socrates was a founder of Western philosophy and a seminal champion of critical thinking. And yet he relied on his dreams for crucial information. He was initiated into the esoteric mysteries of love by the prophetess Diotima, and had an intimate relationship with a daimonion, a divine spirit. I propose that we make Socrates your patron saint for the next three weeks.

Without abandoning your reliance on logic, make a playful effort to draw helpful clues from non-rational sources, too. (P.S.: Socrates drew oracular revelations from sneezes. Please consider that outlandish possibility yourself. Be alert, too, for the secret meanings of coughs, burps, grunts, mumbles, and yawns.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) During the final ten weeks of 2016, your physical and mental health will flourish in direct proportion to how much outworn and unnecessary stuff you flush out of your life between now and October 25. Here are some suggested tasks: 1. Perform a homemade ritual that will enable you to magically shed at least half of your guilt, remorse, and regret. 2. Put on a festive party hat, gather up all the clutter and junk from your home, and drop it off at a thrift store or the dump. 3. Take a vow that you will do everything in your power to kick your attachment to an influence that’s no damn good for you. 4. Scream nonsense curses at the night sky for as long as it takes to purge your sadness and anger about pain that no longer matters.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A Buddhist monk named Matthieu Ricard had his brain scanned while he meditated. The experiment revealed that the positive emotions whirling around in his gray matter were superabundant. Various publications thereafter dubbed him “the happiest person in the world.” Since he’s neither GEMINI (May 21-June 20) The Helper Experiment, Part egotistical nor fond of the media’s simplistic sound One: Close your eyes and imagine that you are in the bites, he’s not happy about that title. I hope you won’t company of a kind, attentive helper—a person, animal, have a similar reaction when I predict that you ancestral spirit, or angel that you either know well or Sagittarians will be the happiest tribe of the zodiac haven’t met yet. Spend at least five minutes visualizing a during the next two weeks. For best results, I suggest scene in which this ally aids you in fulfilling a particular you cultivate Ricard’s definitions of happiness: “altruism goal. The Helper Experiment, Part Two: Repeat this exerand compassion, inner freedom (so that you are not the cise every day for the next seven days. Each time, visualslave of your own thoughts), senses of serenity and ize your helper making your life better in some specific fulfillment, resilience, as well as a clear and stable mind way. Now here’s my prediction: Carrying out The Helper that does not distort reality too much.”

Experiment will attract actual support into your real life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Now is a perfect CANCER (June 21-July 22) New rules: 1. It’s unimaginamoment to launch or refine a project that will generate ble and impossible for you to be obsessed with anything truth, beauty, and justice. Amazingly enough, now is or anyone that’s no good for you. 2. It’s unimaginable also an excellent time to lunch or refine a long-term and impossible for you to sabotage your stability by master plan that will make you healthy, wealthy, and indulging in unwarranted fear. 3. It’s imaginable and poswise. Is this a coincidence? Not at all. The astrological sible for you to remember the most crucial thing you omens suggest that your drive to be of noble service have forgotten. 4. It’s imaginable and possible for you to dovetails well with your drive for personal success. For replace debilitating self-pity with invigorating self-love and healthy self-care. 5. It’s imaginable and possible for the foreseeable future, unselfish goals are well-aligned with selfish goals. you to discover a new mother lode of emotional strength.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) It’s swing-swirl-spiral time, Leo. It’s ripple-sway-flutter time and flow-gush-gyrate time and jive-jiggle-juggle time. So I trust you will not indulge in fruitless yearnings for unswerving progress and rocksolid evidence. If your path is not twisty and tricky, it’s probably the wrong path. If your heart isn’t teased and tickled into shedding its dependable formulas, it might be an overly hard heart. Be an improvisational curiosityseeker. Be a principled player of unpredictable games.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Some English-speaking astronomers use the humorous slang term “meteorwrong.” It refers to a rock that is at first thought to have fallen from the heavens as a meteorite (“meteor-right”), but that is ultimately proved to be of terrestrial origin. I suspect there may currently be the metaphorical equivalent of a meteor-wrong in your life. The source of some new arrival or fresh influence is not what it had initially seemed. But that doesn’t have to be a problem.

On the contrary. Once you have identified the true nature of the new arrival or fresh influence, it’s likely to be useful and interesting.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Most of us can’t tickle ourselves. Since we have conscious control of our fingers, we know we can stop any time. Without the element of uncertainty, our squirm reflex doesn’t kick in.

But I’m wondering if you might get a temporary exemption from this rule in the coming weeks. I say this because the astrological omens suggest you will have an

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Has your world become at least 20 percent larger since September 1? Has your generosity grown to near-heroic proportions? Have your eyes beheld healing sights that were previously invisible to you? Have you lost at least two of your excuses for tolerating scrawny expectations? Are you awash in the desire to grant forgiveness and amnesty? If you can’t answer yes to at least two of those questions, Aquarius, it means you’re not fully in harmony with your best possible destiny. So get to work! Attune yourself to the cosmic tendencies! And if you are indeed reaping the benefits I mentioned, congratulations—and prepare for even further expansions and liberations.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Some astrologers dwell on your tribe’s phobias. They assume that you Pisceans are perversely drawn to fear; that you are addicted to the strong feelings it generates. In an effort to correct this distorted view, and in accordance with current astrological omens, I hereby declare the coming weeks to be a Golden Age for Your Trust in Life. It will be prime time to exult in everything that evokes your joy and excitement.

I suggest you make a list of these glories, and keep adding new items to the list every day. Here’s another way to celebrate the Golden Age: Discover and explore previously unknown sources of joy and excitement.

Homework: Happiness, that elusive beast, may need to be tracked through the bushes before capture. What’s your game plan for hunting down happiness?
