OPINION, APRIL 20: “GUTSY MOVE”
NOT ANTI-SEMITIC Ms. Griffith’s letter was not anti-Semitic. Israeli Jews often use “Nazi” to describe their country’s treatment of Palestinians. Untactful language or not, Griffith holds up a mirror. Her critics, however, refusing to take responsibility for their reflection, project it onto Griffith, just as the Jewish state projects its inhumane ideology onto Palestinians. With the power to force Israel to end its relentless violations of international law, the American Jewish community chooses instead to support those violations. Accusations of anti-Semitism are meant to deflect attention from this inhumanity. Current Justice Minister Shaked has called for genocide against the Palestinian people. Large mobs of Israeli Jews often chant “Death to the Arabs.” As a former AIPAC member with relatives living in Jewish settlements, my 10 years of daily research has concentrated on Israeli sources. During that time, I have not encountered one supporter of Israeli policy who has impartially researched the history. Instead they repeat Israel’s discredited claims of self-defense, even for the killings of helpless children. In 1948 Albert Einstein compared Israel’s Herut party, led by future Prime Minister Begin, to the “Nazi” party and warned: “from [the terrorist party’s] past actions we can judge what it may be expect-
ed to do in the future.” Herut has become Likud, and PM Netanyahu knowingly incites hatred of Palestinians and anti-Semitism. RICHARD FORER ALBUQUERQUE
SHAKE OFF NATIONALISM While comparisons between the Israeli occupation and the Nazi genocide are wildly out of proportion, we might remember that even that most great of twentieth-century Jews, Primo Levi, Holocaust survivor, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, repeatedly condemned Israeli treatment of Palestinians, saying that “everybody is somebody’s Jew.” He openly acknowledged that the behavior of the Israeli military was such as to invite comparison with the Nazi treatment of Jews. “Israel, less and less the Holy Land, more and more the military state,” he lamented. For this, he was labeled an anti-Semite by some Israelis. Primo Levi was surely a great man (and a great Jew) in part because he shook off nationalism and saw his own humanity in others.

to the strong Japanese influence in Northern New Mexico’s history. Sorry, I meant to say, thanks to the fact that 96 percent of our residents call themselves poets. Traditionally, many haikus deal with nature or the seasons, like this one, Santa Fe Summer:

Or this one, about Santa Fe’s very brief springtime:
s you probably saw, this newspaper recently published its annual poetry competition issue, printing the winning poems from among lots of local entries. The winning poems were okay. Some of them were actually quite nice, but I had problems with the variety represented. None of the winning poems rhymed. Not one. I thought most people understood that clever rhymes are what make something a poem, instead of just an oddly spaced run-on sentence without end, otherwise known as free verse.
When will we have spring? I think we already did. You were in the john.
A vegan who lived in Tesuque Made Thanksgiving, but the fare tasted pukey. Her stuffing, of curds, Had the texture of turds, And no one could eat her Tofurky.
Grandpa went to Myrtle Beach, And sent us back a turtle each.
Nice, huh? Vivid, honest and appealing to all the senses. Here’s another:
Thank you, Shel Silverstein, for that superb example of what I’m talking about. Now, that’s what I call poetry! I gently pointed out this apparent lapse to the SFR editor, and she said, “Well, Mr. Smarty Pants, why don’t you just shut your cakehole and show us how it’s done?” She calls me Mr. Smarty Pants a lot, I believe as a term of respect. The winning entries include a number of haikus. That is a Japanese verse form of 17-syllable poems that not only don’t rhyme, they often don’t even make sense. Haikus vary, but generally they are three lines of five syllables, seven syllables and five syllables. For example:
This guy went for drinks at La Fonda With his lover, a redhead named Rhonda. But at the Bell Tower He lost track of the hour So a ticket got slapped on his Honda.

In addition to the embarrassing lack of rhyming couplets among this year’s winners, there was a major style of poetry missing altogether from the results. The mighty limerick, that venerable five-line workhorse of traditional poetry. Many people don’t realize that the great William Wordsworth wrote almost nothing but limericks, including his most famous, with the iconic first line, “I wandered lonely as a cloud …” The absence of prize-winning competitive limericks is especially noticeable here, the home of the Santa Fe Limerick Society, a group of witty men and women who meet weekly at Evangelo’s and start every meeting by reciting, “There once was a man from Nantucket …” I went to one of their meetings, and after buying numerous drinks, I walked away with some fine samples of Santa Fe limericks, written on napkins. Let’s see, here’s one, if I can make it out through the tequila-stained blur:

License to Ride
A driver runs over a woman, killing her. Is one of his passengers a murderer? In at least one case, he is, according to local prosecutors. The 1st Judicial District Attorney’s office on Monday charged two men, Philip Zaman, 25, and Khristopher Marshall, 26, of first-degree murder in the death of Teena Larson. According to police reports, Zaman reversed his BMW over Larson on the evening of January 12, 2016, after Larson, 54, tried to stop his vehicle from leaving her residence in Santa Fe County. Zaman then switched gears and ran her over a second time. Larson died at the scene.
BRIEFS Marshall and Larson’s daughter, Tara Larson, sat in the car with Zaman when the incident happened. The two passengers were dating “on and off” at the time. Tara and Marshall had just had an altercation with Teena and her boyfriend, who disapproved of their relationship. The older couple tried to keep Tara from leaving with the two men when Zaman’s vehicle struck her. After hitting Teena, Marshall said, “What did you just do?” according to a statement that Tara gave to police. Marshall pleaded not guilty and is being held on a $10,000 bond. Zaman did not make his scheduled arraignment, owing to a holdup related to a separate attempted murder case. Marshall’s public defender, Matthew Swessinger, says the state doesn’t have a case for murder against his client. “Prosecuting someone for murder when they are a mere passenger is unprecedented in the state, as far as I know,” Swessinger tells SFR. In 2011, prosecutors charged former state police officer Alfred Lovato for vehicular homicide after he was a passenger in a car driven by his intoxicated friend, Carlos Fierro, which struck and killed a man in front of the Cowgirl. A jury found Lovato not guilty. (Steven Hsieh)
Stalled LANL Cleanup to Court Arguing that the cleanup of nuclear contamination at Los Alamos National Laboratory is and has been out of compliance with the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act for some 7,853 days and counting, Nuclear Watch New Mexico has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Energy and Los Alamos National Security LLC. Nuclear Watch New Mexico cites 12 violations of the requirements in the 2005 Consent Order, the document mapping out the cleanup plans for contamination from manufacturing nuclear weapons, for a total of nearly $300 million in civil penalties. “The federal government plans to spend a trillion dollars over the next 30 years completely rebuilding US nuclear forces. Meanwhile, cleanup at
the Los Alamos Lab, the birthplace of nuclear weapons, continues to be delayed, delayed, delayed,” Jay Coghlan, executive director of NukeWatch, said in a press release. “We seek to make the for-profit nuclear weaponeers clean up their radioactive and toxic mess first before making another one for a nuclear weapons stockpile that is already bloated far beyond what we need.” (Elizabeth Miller)

PRIMARY ELECTION
Primary Primer Election 101: Local races depend on turnout in major party contests
BY STE VE N HS I E H s teve n @ s fre p o r ter.co m
A
s a megalomaniacal Oompa Loompa perches comfortably atop the GOP ticket, and the nation’s former top robot diplomat firmly grasps the Democratic torch, it might be tempting to sit the primaries out and save your energy for The Big One in November. Don’t do that. All politics is local, as the saying goes, and there’s a lot at stake on Santa Fe County’s June 7 ballots. New Mexico’s closed-primary system means that voters can only weigh in here if they’re registered with one of the two major parties. Democrats will decide the winner of four area races, including Santa Fe County clerk, two county commission seats and a spot in the New Mexico House of Representatives currently held by Luciano “Lucky” Valera, who is retiring after this term. No Republicans are running in those races. Santa Feans will also cast their vote for contests in reliably blue jurisdictions, including races for district attorney and the state Senate seat formerly held by real estate beneficiary Phil Griego. If democracy is not enough to get you to the polls, perhaps money will do the trick. Okay, so you’re not getting paid to vote (that’s called bribery), but consider all the cash that’s been raised in these politicians’ names. Area candidates in contested races collected nearly $400,000, according to our calculations based on reports to the secretary of state. Granted, a healthy chunk of that cash will go to general election campaigns, but still, you could buy 20,000 Plato Sabrosos at Horseman’s Haven with that dough!

“For me, it’s about representing the people. ... It doesn’t matter if you have a D or an R after your name,” said Ted Barela, upon his appointment last year to Senate District 39, Griego’s old seat, a long stretch of land that includes parts of Santa Fe, Torrance, Lincoln, San Miguel, Valencia and Bernalillo counties. Barela, a Republican, is likely to change his tune when he faces one of four Democratic hopefuls in the general election. Three of those candidates—Liz Stefanics, Mike Anaya and Hugh Ley—tout their public service experience. A fourth, Ambrose Castellano, works for an emergency home restoration company. Together, they’ve collected more than any other state or local race on our ballots, about $150,000 in total. Stefanics, who held District 39 for one term nearly two decades ago, and Ley, a former San Miguel County commissioner, carry most of that weight. Notably, Ley has raised more money than any of the candidates running for state Senate this cycle; 43 percent of that cash came from out of state, a sizable portion of which can be traced to summer homeowners, according to the Albuquerque Journal. House District 48, south of the Santa Fe River, is also up for grabs. Three Democrats with public service experience are running to fill the seat, for decades the province of Lucky Valera. His son, Jeff Varela, will take on Santa Fe school board member Linda Trujillo and former county commissioner Paul Campos. Earlier this month, the Santa Fe New Mexican questioned whether Valera actually lives in the district for which he is running, as required by state law. Valera signed onto his father’s deed just 11 days before announcing his candidacy. He has owned a house in Rio Rancho for 21 years, where he says his wife and daughter live. And then there are the prosecutors. Incumbent Jennifer Padgett will attempt to fend off two challengers for district attorney for the 1st Judicial District, which comprises Santa Fe, Rio Arriba and Los Alamos counties. Marco Serna, who most recently prosecuted Medicaid abuse in the attorney general’s office, raised nearly twice as much as his two opponents combined. Maria Sanchez-Gagne, a longtime

prosecutor who led the attorney general’s Border Violence Division for 10 years, is the other contender. (None of them have ever sought office before.) Padgett, who was appointed by Gov. Susana Martinez to replace Angela Pacheco after she retired, has come under fire for a policy of using special grand juries to investigate police shootings, a procedure that rarely ever leads to indictments. Both of her opponents have stated they would end the practice, and during a candidate forum last month, Padgett announced that she would not present any more police shooting cases to investigative grand juries, a reversal of her previous position. The winning Democratic prosecutor will go on to face Yvonne Chicoine, the unopposed Republican candidate, in the general election. On the county level, voters will decide three races next month in Democratic primaries for seats without any Republican candidates. A race for county clerk between incumbent Geraldine Salazar and perennial candidate Letitia Montoya is a near repeat of the primary in 2012, which included one more candidate and in which Salazar took 46 percent of the votes. County Commissioner Miguel Chavez will be defending his District 2 seat from Anna Hansen, an avid Google-user (see the Pop Quiz from our April 27 issue). Finally, Edward Moreno, a former Associated Press reporter, and Charles Dalton, a veteran police officer, are running to replace Stefanics in District 5.

TOP O’THE TICKET TO YOU Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee now that the competition has thrown in the towel, but New Mexico Republican voters will see some other familiar names: Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina and John Kasich. These five fallen candidates missed the deadline to withdraw from the ballot. Democrats can choose from Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Not that it matters. At least in this election cycle, our state’s late primary all but guarantees our irrelevance in the nomination process. It hasn’t always been like this. We twice flirted with a February Democratic caucus in the 2000s, but it didn’t go so well the second time around, so we’re back to June. Happy voting!

New Mexico’s water plans predict supply decline at the regional level but don’t tackle statewide strategy BY LAUR A PASK U S @LauraPa s ku s
P
eople trying to survive in this arid landscape have spent thousands of years—some flush with rain and snow, others parched—hoping that the next season will allow fields and villages to survive. Or maybe even flourish. Whether it was the drought of the 12th century that contributed to migrations out of Chaco Canyon or the dry years that desiccated ranches and farms in the 1930s and ’50s, people here in New Mexico have probably always watched the skies and prayed for rain. And while tree ring data or abandoned farmsteads trace the stories of past droughts, online PDFs full of graphs, tables and planning ideas offer clues to the difficulties—or opportunities—that might lie ahead. This year, the New Mexico Interstate Stream Commission released 16 regional water plans. Each draft paints a localized picture of the next 40 years— how much water there may be, whether the population will rise or fall and if supplies can meet demands. Some regions are worse off than others. The economy in northeastern New Mexico hasn’t yet recovered from drought that began in 2009. In southern Curry County, people haul water in places where wells have dried. Surface water is already scarce in the northwest; now, groundwater levels are declining, too. In the past 30 years, aquifers beneath Gallup and nearby communities have dropped several hundred feet. And in many places, like the Middle and Lower Rio Grande, river waters are already over-allocated.
Above: The Canyon Road treatment plant provides drinking water from reservoirs on the Santa Fe River, while further downstream (below), water fans out for wildlife habitat and recreation along a paved trail.
But even as surface and groundwater supplies in many places are projected to decline even further, no one seems sure—and the state’s not saying—how all these regional plans will fit into one comprehensive plan to envision how New Mexico might look in 2060. “Other than the fact that we have a common technical platform, I don’t think we have any idea what they’re going to do with the state water plan,” says Conci Bokum, a local expert who has long worked on regional water planning in the Santa Fe area. The state did not allow water planning staff to answer questions on the record about the plans, nor did Interstate Stream Commission Director Deborah Dixon respond to interview requests. As for how, or if, the state will incorporate the regional plans into a statewide approach, Public Information Officer Melissa Dosher wrote in an email that the planning phase has begun and will continue into 2017. CALL TO COMBINE FORCES IN SF Considering the dire data for many areas, Santa Fe is in comparatively good shape. The City Different lies within the Jemez y Sangre planning region, which includes Los Alamos County and parts of Santa Fe and Rio Arriba counties. The recent planning effort involved the three counties, the cities of Santa Fe and Española, water users associations, acequia users, environmental and business groups, federal and state agencies and six pueblos. Today, about 147,000 people use more than 90,000 acre-feet of water in the region each year. Most of that water comes from the Rio Grande, the Chama and the Santa Fe River; about 20,000 acre-feet is pumped each year from underground aquifers. Farms are the biggest water users: Irrigated agriculture diverts 73 percent of the region’s entire water supply. As with all the regions, state workers and contractors wrote the bulk of the plan—supplying water in-
formation, population forecasts, and future demand scenarios—while locals suggested ideas to address the gap between future supply and demand. Many solutions center around increasing efficiency, improving infrastructure and drilling new groundwater wells. Other proposals call for restoring watershed conditions and reusing effluent water. The Jemez y Sangre region is highly vulnerable to drought, which can put surface supplies at risk. That means planning for climate change is critical. “Water has always been a big issue in our area,” says Santa Fe County Commissioner Kathy Holian, one of the steering committee’s four chairs. “But as climate change begins to be felt more and more—and in a variety of ways—it’s even more important for us to do planning so that we can help shield people in our communities from the effects of drought or really heavy rainstorms.” Holian hopes the public will weigh in on the draft plan, especially when it comes to a proposal to regionalize the city and county into one water utility, similar to the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Utility Authority. The two entities worked together in the past to build the Buckman Direct Diversion Project on the Rio Grande. “It is a slightly controversial topic,” she says. “The county is open to that, but the city, as far as I can determine, is not really interested in going there at this point.” Santa Fe might also continue buying agricultural water rights and transferring them to municipal use. That’s one way to close the gap, especially since ag is the predominant water user in the area. “I myself am very interested in encouraging more local agriculture, not less,” says Holian. “So I really want to get feedback on that particular issue.” This story was a joint effort between the Santa Fe Reporter and New Mexico In Depth as part of Laura Paskus’s Climate Change Project.

Different Spokes Third year for Outside Bike & Brew builds on the effort to make Santa Fe a biking destination
BY EL IZ ABE TH M I LLE R el i zab et h @ s fre p o r te r.co m
W
hen last year saw Outside Bike & Brew participants pedaling through snowstorms and dancing to Reverend Horton Heat in raincoats, it could have been easy to write the whole thing off as stormed out and therefore fizzled out. Instead, the event returns this year with some beefy additions to the lineup, and the goal of boosting Santa Fe’s image as a cycling destination that drew three years of public financing to the festival also seems bigger than ever. “They all talked about how hardcore Santa Fe is, about how all 40 women showed up for the 40-participant women’s clinic, and all of them had fun and went away stronger cyclists and fired up,” says Chris Goblet, the organizer for Bike & Brew. “Whatever we did, whatever we have, if it’s great people or terrible weather or great restaurants or nice cushy hotels, something about Santa Fe makes it different from all other bike festivals. ” This year’s Bike & Brew returns, moving from the Railyard to Fort Marcy Park and scheduled for May 18-22, not shying away after last year’s rowdy weather, but instead adding events and firming up its place to stay in Santa Fe. Which is good news, because it’s got a message to deliver that doesn’t seem to have gotten through. “New Mexico in general, and Santa Fe in specific, is a really underrated mountain biking destination,” says Erin Ladd, marketing manager with Outside. “Tourists come to Santa Fe for a lot of different reasons—art, food, culture, shopping. There are these
very expected reasons why people come to Santa Fe. The thing that flies under the radar is that we’re this amazing outdoor destination.” It’s no coincidence that the magazine, staffed with enthusiastic bikers and skiers, has its headquarters here, she adds, nor is it that they’ve chosen to put their name on Bike & Brew, the only event to hold that distinction. “The value that we see of this is not just for the people who live here and already know what an awesome outdoor destination this is,” Ladd says. “These are for the people who haven’t yet experienced it for themselves, people who are coming into town from other places.” It is, in other words, high time everyone notices what’s going on around Santa Fe—and that it’s more than green chile and art galleries. Bike & Brew’s lineup of events includes rides guided by members of Santa Fe’s Fat Tire Society; clinics; a bike expo; a food truck festival; concerts (see sidebar); beer dinners; biking tours to taste beer, wine and cider; movies; and sampling beers made by breweries such as Oscar Blues, Stone, Ballast Point, Second Street, Marble, La Cumbre, Bosque, Bathtub Row, Blue Corn, Sierra Nevada and Santa Fe Brewing. “We just bundled it all together,” Goblet says. “It’s about healthy living, outdoor recreation and a celebration of kicking off the summer with something fun and kind of different.” Increasing the event’s magnetism this year is the addition of a Big Mountain Enduro race, scheduled for May 22. This style of mountain bike racing, now surging in popularity, covers numerous trails in an area, showcasing the best through a demanding course. In Santa Fe’s case, that’ll mean 35 miles and some 8,000 vertical feet on four different trails, each of which riders will have to pedal to the start of. Though it’s only a one-day race, and some of their events stretch up to four days, it may be one of the hardest courses in the lineup this year, says Brandon Ontiveros, executive director of Big Mountain Enduro. “We’re super excited to race a new venue, to be partnering with everybody down there in Santa Fe,” he says. “We’ve already got over 300 people registered, so not just us internally, but our audience and the racers who follow us are pretty stoked on coming down there for this one.” The number of registrations is expected to top out around 350, and with families and support teams that
Bikes and beers together would be enough for almost anyone to have a great time, but the annual Outside Bike & Brew pedals that extra mile with special outdoor performances from San Francisco soul/funk champs Con Brio and Los Angeles indie-folk rockers The Lonely Wild. The two-day lineup is all about creating an unforgettable experience and strikes the perfect balance of accessibility with enough of an edge. Friday’s show with Con Brio is a new take on Motown that pays respect to the titans of the field but forges its own territory—think Foxygen with more sex appeal. Saturday’s act, The Lonely Wild, resides someplace between the neo-folk sound of Mumford & Sons and a throwback paean to the indie world of the late ’90s. Yes, they rock, but they’re also smart enough to know when to go subtle and how to carry a layered complexity. Festivities begin at 5 pm. $15 per night or $25 for both. (Alex De Vore)
will bring a total of up to 1,500 people to town—all part of the young, athletic contingent often missing in Santa Fe’s tourism scene. When the race organizers came down to ride Santa Fe’s trails last year, they found themselves pleasantly surprised by the variety and accessibility from town, and the hope is to make Santa Fe a regular stop. “We don’t put races on or events and just one time and out. We work with the town, city, trail builders and everyone else to try to make it a multiyear event,” Ontiveros says. “Our hope is to keep racing down in Santa Fe and to explore more trails down there and get more of the local community involved. We definitely have a long-term vision of sticking around.” Why fight through for another year, despite last year’s dismal conditions? “Because a lot of people say they really like it and believe in it,” Goblet says, “and it takes time to get something started.” Outside Bike & Brew also continues what the Santa Fe Century, a 100-mile road biking event, began 31 years ago. “Without them, we would not exist,” Goblet says. “But we have built on their history and hopefully can add to their legacy. … Hopefully, we’re still talking about cycling in Santa Fe 100 years from now.” And so far, this weekend’s forecast looks clear.

SANTA FE CELEBRATES LOWRIDER CULTURE AS ART
I
BY AL E X DE VORE @te a m a lex
“
BEN KENDALL
can remember being 3 years old and hanging out in the backseat of my parents’ lowrider,” Orlando Martinez Jr. says as he glances with a certain kind of love at his beautifully customized 1983 Monte Carlo. Martinez, a security guard at the New Mexico History Museum and lifelong lowrider, has graciously allowed his car to be exhibited in Lowriders, Hoppers and Hot Rods, the first in a pair of exhibits curated between the New Mexico History Museum and the New Mexico Museum of Art that will run throughout the spring and into the fall. He refers to the vehicle as “my baby” and lights up at the very mention of the thing. “Or,” he continues reminiscing, “I would cruise with my uncles when I was young. I always liked the attention. I couldn’t wait until I got my first car.” This is an idea shared across generations of lowrider folk and a desire that has existed at the core of an automotive and artistic history that spans back nearly a hundred years. Within the world of cars, both classic and contemporary, no style is more synonymous with New Mexican Hispano society than the lowrider, a word insiders use to describe both the cars themselves and the people who drive them. A culturally ingrained holdover from movements that occurred in Southern California, Arizona, Texas, Mexico and New Mexico, the art of dropping cars dates back to the 1930s zoot suit era, a Chicano-led automotive response to the Anglo world of hotrods that favored stylish luxury over the utilitarian stripping-down of cars to maximize speed. The lowrider became the ultimate entrance, the supreme statement. In the days before World War II, the pachucos—a term coined to describe young men embedded in zoot suit or car culture—would lower their cars by placing sandbags in the trunk with boards

over the top to obscure them, but in a post-WWII economy that found returning vets with more money in their pockets and one of the strongest economic eras in US history, experimentalism and customization became paramount. Sandbags were old-fashioned, and the melting or chopping of suspension coils was the hot new thing; the culture was mutating. “There’s this level of complex engineering and artistry, and these people have always been resourceful,” says Carmella Padilla, author of the 1999 book Low ’n Slow: Lowriding in New Mexico. “It’s something that depicts the landscape of their lives in this significantly creative and cultural way.” In the early days of lowrider culture, first-generation Chicanos who had moved to larger cities in search of work and in pursuit of the American dream tended to stick to their own specific neighborhoods, surely a racially charged necessity at the time. But as their children pushed out into the world and broke through more borders, inroads were made and subcultures were cross-pollinated. It was, perhaps, a desire to also prove they had means that also led lowriders to begin tricking out their Chevys—the preferred car due to its easier- and cheaper-to-customize possibilities. Not only would the pachucos ride in luxury, they’d have the opportunity to lure the ladies into their cars through social peacocking. Over time, their personal styles would become flashy, but through their cars, they retained the means to show off a level of flamboyant creativity. Lowriders were ornate and glamorous carriages, and the minimal approach to hot rods simply could not compete. By the 1950s and ’60s, the pachucos had begun the cruise, an informal gathering that found them
moving in circular formations around various city blocks. Anytime you travel anywhere in a lowrider, you are technically “cruising,” but these loosely structured gatherings rolled from Miami to Los Angeles, but nowhere was greater than the cruise on LA’s Whittier Boulevard. It was the natural evolution of the paseo, a Mexican tradition wherein young men and women would gather together to walk in concentric circles past one another and flirt. “They would meet in the plazas to socialize,” Padilla says. “It was like a mating ritual.” Even Santa Fe had its own cruise, which would run along Alameda Street and around the Plaza, but the concept of customizing one’s conveyance as a statement of uniqueness or to garner attention, right down to its minute details, spans back to Spanish colonialism and beyond. “The entire culture is based around these rituals and an American love affair with the car, but as far as the design aesthetic, you can look to what Spanish settlers were doing to decorate their horses hundreds of years ago; I’m sure there were even soldiers in ancient times at Carthage who would deck out their shields to express who they were when they went into battle,” New Mexico History Museum photo curator Daniel Kosharek tells SFR. Kosharek’s exhibit at the New Mexico History Museum is the first of a fleet of exhibitions this spring in the same vein. Lowriders, Hoppers and Hot Rods explores the culture of New Mexico residents, car clubs, families and their cars through dozens of photos, video pieces and several cars parked right inside the museum halls. It’s a fascinating exhibit that not only serves to proudly display one of the most prevalent and artistically

ments are “birdcaged,” a sort of open ball of twisted metal that resembles their namesake. Everything down to the spokes and cosmetic additions is considered and customized. “The judges at shows give points to everything so, like, we’ll get extra points for the chrome stuff and the birdcaging and the twisted stuff,” Benjamin points out. His trike even boasts a fully functional sound system, which he says he’ll use while cruising or even at car shows when he’s showing his handiwork. The limo bike was much more work, according to young Brandon. He also says it’s taken him and his dad about four years from start to finish, due to the project becoming bigger than they had planned. “It was almost like building two bikes at the same time,” he says. “But we like seeing the bike shows at car shows, and I feel good that people like our bikes.” The entire process speaks volumes about the familial bonds formed during lowrider projects. Ben Sandoval is clearly proud of his kids. “We raised them to have good values and to work hard,” he boasts. “We’ve been approached by car clubs to join, but that’s not really for us.” “Our car club is our family,” Benjamin adds.

or some lowrider fans, it’ll be several years until they can even learn to drive, but they’ve developed an interesting workaround that is an artform in its own right— the lowrider bike. At Lowriders, Hoppers and Hot Rods, you’ll find a pair of custom bikes conceived and built by Brandon and Benjamin Sandoval. The brothers from Española, aged 11 and 14, respectively, have won nearly a dozen bike competitions at car shows in New Mexico and Texas between the two of them, and Brandon’s lime-green “limo bike” is actually the first of its kind. Their father, Ben Sandoval, who runs the Española YMCA Teen Center, says his kids get offers all the time from people who want to either use their designs or just buy the bikes outright. “We just wanted to get into the culture, and it was a way to do that,” the younger Sandoval says. “Yeah,” his brother agrees. “There were all these car shows happening in Española, and I’ve always wanted to get into a car, but the bikes are cheaper to build and more portable. … You don’t need a trailer to get them around.” Benjamin provided a minitour of how he customized his orange trike. The frame itself is what they call “twisted,” and many of the decorative adorn-

important pieces of New Mexican history, but also defuses misconceptions about the culture itself. Kosharek says, “There’s this silly preconception that these are all bad guys, but if you ask me, that’s profiling.” The uninformed notion that lowrider culture was born of thugs and gangsters and continues to be a respite for such dubious characters is disputed by the simple fact that the foundation lies more within the realm of familial bond, artistic expression and, in many cases, religious iconography. This isn’t to say there aren’t rough edges in the world of lowrider cars, rather that they’re a smaller faction within a much broader spectrum. According to Katherine Ware, photo curator for the New Mexico Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibit, Con Cariño, “There’s almost this outlaw feel to some of the people, although ‘outlier’ might be more appropriate.” And though the term “outlaw” does convey a certain apt romanticism, the motivations for car customization are as varied as the people themselves, and to dismiss outright the entire movement as gang-centric would be utterly irresponsible. Martinez now owns four cars, though none, he says, can compare to his Monte Carlo that’s on display in Lowriders, Hoppers and Hot Rods. It is breathtak-

here and there, though,” he says. “It’s hard to say if you’re ever really finished.” Martinez notes that he and his crew of friends, family and artists have put nearly eight years of work into the car, adding up to nearly $40,000 in costs. “You lose track of the hours you put in, and these things take a lot of time because they’re expensive, yeah, but it isn’t like there’s some lowrider store or a lowrider parts catalog,” Martinez says. “You’ve gotta get ’em where you can.” Of course, this perfectly encapsulates the artistry at the heart of the culture. Car science can be applied to a point, but it isn’t as if there’s some easy-to-follow guide for customization. This makes the pervasive professional look feel all the more impressive and is a testament to the almost obsessive nature displayed by these people, but it also means that the last several generations of lowriders can be more appropriately described as artists rather than just car guys. “The thing that always struck me about these cars was in how you can view them more as art objects,” photographer Jack Parsons tells SFR. “I love the idea of taking a piece of Americana, like a Chevy or Ford, and repurposing it artistically.” Parsons, who worked with writer Padilla to provide the photos for Low ’n Slow, has been photographing the art of lowriders since 1993. “I started out with an interest in this guy named Randy Martinez, who was this incredible airbrush artist up in Chimayó,” he says. “He would take me to see the various cars he’d painted, and I got to thinking I could photograph more than just his projects, so I started getting passed around to all these different lowrider guys.” Parsons’ body of work differs from the usual fare found in trade magazines, in that he shunned the car show circuit in favor of probing the more rural areas CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

runs through March 5, 2017, at the New Mexico History Museum (113 Lincoln Ave., 476-5200) and contains photos from Jack Parsons, Don Usner, Meridel Rubenstein and others, plus actual cars, hydraulics information and more. Photo curator Daniel Kosharek states that the show also serves to kick off the museum’s lowrider archive initiative. “When I was looking around for photos and such, I was shocked that there was no kind of archive of this culture anywhere,” Kosharek tells SFR. Since the project started getting airtime, he says he’s been approached by a number of other photographers who want their work included in the archive.
Con Cariño runs May 20 through Oct. 10 at the New Mexico Museum of Art (107 W Palace Ave., 476-5072) and features works by Luis Tapia, Rose B Simpson, Art Lopez and more. Also included will be lowrider piñata creations from Los Angeles artist Justin Favela, who will teach a workshop on creating them, plus new paintings from nomadic Chicano/lowrider artist El Moises and many more surprises. “[Lowrider] art is a key part of the art and culture of the Southwest,” curator Katherine Ware tells SFR. “We wanted to depict how artists react to the world of lowrider and to show how embedded in Southwestern culture it all is.”
Lowrider Day in New Mexico begins at 11 am Sunday, May 22, and will feature a procession of over 130 lowrider cars making their way from Fort Marcy Park (490 Bishop’s Lodge Road), around the Plaza and then to Lincoln Avenue, between both museums. There will be a special hydraulics exhibition, tons of car talk and more. Mayor Javier Gonzales will declare May 22 as Lowrider Day in Santa Fe, and Gov. Susana Martinez has done the same for the state. SFR will be there to document the haps via Instagram @sfreporter with special guest posters, including the mayor.

of the state. He was interested in the artwork, yes, but his focal point became more about the landscapes and the people rather than just the cars. “In a town like this, where everyone is either an artist or selling art, it was so refreshing to me that it wasn’t commercial and that the Anglos couldn’t coopt it,” he says wryly. “Though it is a bit of a bridge between cultures, in that it can become about the car and the work and the art, and these aren’t ethnic things, they’re human things.” Martinez agrees. “You could see some scary-looking dude all covered in tattoos, but ask him about his car, and you’ve got a friend for life.” The art aspect even extends beyond the automotive, with no shortage of acclaimed artists and creators drawing inspiration from lowrider culture. And though we might describe artists like Rob Vanderslice or Emmanuel Barrera as craftspeople who can (and should) be celebrated for their own unique contributions, people like Luis Tapia (who also happens to be Carmella Padilla’s husband, further proving the lowrider world is all about family) provide a glimpse into the ways in which the culture has impacted their lives on a more personal level. Tapia works in several mediums, such as paint and wood and woodcarving, and even has a spectacular piece in the permanent collection of the National
Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque called “A Slice of American Pie,” which depicts his reflections Runon Santa Fe in a style akin to prison tattoos. Run ning along the side of a 1963 Cadillac chopped in half length-wise, it is gorgeous, a microcosm of deciddecid edly New Mexican influences and ephemera. In the Con Cariño exhibit, however, Tapia will show what he calls a “dashboard altar.” “Santa Cruz” is a carved representation of the view from inside a lowrider, rife with incredible details such as santos, a radio, glovebox, speedometer, a beer bottle and more. The windshield itself is an acrylic painted depiction of the world outside the car; the view of West San Francisco Street facing St. Francis Cathedral and the rearview mirror features a subtle skeletal passenger, perhaps a sly nod to Posada. “What sparked it was my mom’s old Chevy, which wasn’t a lowrider, but I can remember being in the backseat and looking forward, and she had these santos on the dashboard,” Tapia recalls. “If you really take your time and look around here, you’ll notice alal tars on dashboards everywhere. I wanted to capture that, and I chose bright colors because religion is a festive thing for me, and I wanted to get that across.” Tapia estimates it took him nearly four months to complete “Santa Cruz,” which is an excellent comcom panion piece to his other carving in the exhibit, “Northern New Mexico Woody,” a scale model of the iconic wood-paneled American car. “I was never a lowrider myself, but I remiwas raised alongside them,” Tapia remi nisces. “For me, the culture says that the actual cars themselves are a canvas, the only difference is they’re mechanical.”
For artist Art Lopez, a sculptor and painter who follows in Tapia’s footsteps (while forging his own signature style, informed by his own tastes as well as tradition), the use of religious and lowrider imagery in his work is about sense of place. “I’m using older materials and pigments to represent the saints and religious iconography, but with contemporary methods,” he states. “I want for the artwork to work on its own, but to also honor the car itself.” Both Tapia and Lopez can be described as what one would call a santero, a Spanish word that literally translates to “pious” but is assigned colloquially to artists who work with representations of saints and religious themes. “I would say I’m more faithful than religious,” Lopez says of himself. “But this stuff, the religious element and how it can apply to the cars, are very important to these people.” “Important” is the operative word. For those who live and breathe lowrider culture, it becomes a way of life rather than mere hobby. Thus, exhibits like Lowriders, Hoppers and Hot Rods and Con Cariño are surely a celebration of the culture and artistry, but also vindicating events that prove society at large is ready to jettison its misguided prejudices. “We’re always out to break that stereotype that we’re bad guys,” Martinez tells SFR as he beams with pride beside his baby inside the History Museum. “For me, lowrider culture opens up opportunity for artists, and it can strengthen families. You’ll meet people where their father were lowriders or their grandfathers; it’s a lifestyle, for sure, and I know I’m always gonna be lowriding.”

But among career highlights, some are certainly standouts. “I think one of the biggest [moments] was when I got to No. 1 on the British pop chart,” he says. “It was a proud moment for me to see my mom and my family so excited.” Of Santa Fe, the reggae star says he and his band are “very, very glad to be back; we just love coming to Santa Fe. It’s just a very cool vibe. We love the way the city is built. It’s a very nice place to visit.” Banton says he is bringing his full band and adds, “Don’t miss it.” (Maria Egolf-Romero)

Back in the ’20s, the tango was considered obscene, so people would sneak away to hidden speakeasies to dance in secret. Now you can experience the same dim lights and sexy music at Shahin Medghalchi’s Argentine Tango Milonga. Medghalchi, a former competitive ballroom dancer, has modeled these “tango parties” after actual milongas she attended in Argentina. Guests are always open to try their hands (or feet) at the sensual dance or just watch others maneuver. According to Medghalchi, all tango styles are welcome. “For me,” she says, “there is one tango. That’s when you hold someone in your arms and move to the music.” (Cybele Mayes-Osterman) Argentine Tango Milonga: 7:30 pm Tuesday, May 24. $5. El Meson, 213 Washington Ave., 983-6756

What we’re saying is that if you like any of the hottest Latin dance jams, you’re sure to catch them at Latin Night with VDJ Dany. “I’m happy to see my people dancing,” says Dany, who hails from Guatemala. “I promise when the people come to my show, they’ll be dancing all night.” (ADV)
COURTESY VDJ DANY
If you’re a reggae fan, you surely know the name Pato Banton, even if it’s not the name the renowned musician started out with. Born Patrick Murray, the British (who knew?) artist has entertained stoners and good-vibe seekers since the early ’80s, and recently, he spoke with SFR about his upcoming performance at Boxcar and how he got the name by which the world knows him. Banton says he picked up the name “Pato” from his childhood position as a lookout for his DJ father’s community parties. Their family home became a Caribbean hang-out on the weekends, in the absence of other venues for their minority-heavy community. “I was a smart kid, and I was up late at night, so they called me Pato,” says Banton. “In Jamaica, it is a small nightowl that says, ‘Patoo patoo,’” he calls out in a cooing pitch. “Banton,” he says, “is a title of big respect,” one that he received in his early recording and performing days in the British reggae scene. “It was a great honor for me to be given the name instead of just giving it to myself,” he says proudly.

Former Skylight partners strike out for Shadeh while older club gets, um, pizza
COURTESY POJOAQUE.ORG
Cold War BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex
Y
ou know how when the Santa Fe rumor mill starts churning, it’s usually bad news for everyone? That’s why when news got out that several founding partners of downtown nightclub Skylight were leaving the business so close to the club’s second anniversary, both sides wanted to get out in front of the barrage of potential misinformation and tell their side of the story. “What has happened is that we had partners who have taken another opportunity,” Skylight co-owner Joe Ray Sandoval tells SFR. “The business had taken on a life of its own, and we were starting to do well, so I guess it’s a testament to what we’ve accomplished at Skylight that another club would want to offer them jobs.” The club in question is Shadeh, housed within the Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino in Pojoaque, a space that will now be run by original Skylight partners Sol Bentley and Pete Samaniego. “The timing could not have been more perfect,” Bentley says. “Three out of the five founding partners have now pulled out, and you can take that any way you want, but let’s just say that if Skylight had operated as we had intended, we’d still be at Skylight.” Bentley says that he and Samaniego were offered the chance of a lifetime to rebrand and relaunch Shadeh in any way they saw fit. “They were sick and tired of having this open call for the job to run the place, and what they needed was an owner in there,” Samaniego says. “I can’t stress enough how open they’ve all been to new ideas.” Both Bentley and Samaniego picture a revitalized space complete with a brand new JBL sound system, a truss rod for lights and lasers, upscale service, payper-view events and other such amenities. “We have this chance to literally do what has never been done in Northern New Mexico before and cre-

ate the kind of upscale nightclub experience you’d find someplace like Las Vegas,” Bentley says. “We’ll have everything you’d possibly want to do, too, because this is Native land, and they operate under different laws than a city … we could stay open till 4 am if we want.” It certainly sounds cool, but things start to get a little hairy when we take into consideration that a number of Skylight employees have followed Bentley and Samaniego, with the former saying, “We’ve been given the go-ahead to use money wisely, and part of that is building an amazing staff.” Yikes, right? I mean, it doesn’t sound great. Almost like poaching, but at the end of the day, it’s really about business, and people will generally go where there’s money. Though there appears to be a certain level of restrained frustration bubbling just below the surface from each camp, both Skylight and their former partners are being pretty cool about the transition. “Honestly, it’s what I would have done myself, and Sol is like my brother,” Sandoval says. “Besides, we see opportunity in the future for the club in building
our identity and entering another phase, and there’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition.” Part of the next phase at Skylight includes a brandnew pizza oven for full pies and slices, both of which can be ordered through a phone app called—surprise—Skylight Pizza. Who’s not down with that? And anyway, we’ve seen what Skylight has accomplished as a ragtag team of DJs and businesspeople, and recent shows like comedian Hannibal Burress and Revolver Tuesdays prove they’re still in the game. As for Bentley and Samaniego’s new place, it certainly doesn’t hurt that casinos have deep pockets, but it does sound like it’ll be an uphill battle at first. Buffalo Thunder is cool and all, but it’s fairly far by Santa Fe standards. Asked about the distance, Bentley stays cool and says, “Yeah, we know it’s a destination location, for sure, but we’re only talking about 15 minutes from town.” True enough. At the very least, it seems like we have more options for nightlife in Santa Fe than we’ve had in some time, and whatever you choose to do, there’ll probably be pizza.

Sailing toward Open Waters Strangers Collective latest exhibit, Narrows, continues their path of bringing big returns to emerging artists

STRANGERS COLLECTIVE
f you’re trying to break into a scene as well established as Santa Fe’s art world, sometimes it helps to take a few friends along—or a few strangers. “The way the art scene works really fosters midcareer, late-career artists,” says Jordan Eddy, one of the founders of Strangers Collective. “You have to band together in order to rise together.” Strangers Collective works to do just that by assembling group exhibits of new works from emerging artists. A year and a half past their opening show in a friend’s empty living room, the group has decidedly moved into established gallery spaces; the latest exhibit, Narrows, will be shown at the Community Gallery at the Santa Fe Convention Center. “It really kind of felt like and feels like this movement of like-minded people, and I think we were surprised that it grew so organically, at least so far: It’s just kind of been word of mouth, person to person, stranger to stranger,” Eddy says. The latent goal that their shows vault up-andcoming artists out of obscurity and into a realm where they can consider making their artwork a profession has also begun to bear fruit. Eddy and Kyle Farrell started the collective as a way of showcasing the work of young artists they knew who were making work, but not showing it, and they first hosted it in fellow artist Erikka James’

house off Canyon Road. It quickly outgrew the salonstyle approach and has since moved into the public sphere, with a show at Art.i.fact, as the last exhibition at Wheelhouse Art in the Railyard before it closed late last year, and a pop-up weeklong show at the new location for Caldera on Water Street. That last show, in particular, felt like a breakthrough, Eddy says. “People seemed to be taking notice of what was going on, and that really was the original goal, to provide a springboard for artists to a bunch of other opportunities, so that was particularly exciting,” he says. “There’s just been such a shift with each show— the work gets stronger, and we started with really great work,” Farrell says. “It really does keep getting better.” Membership in Strangers Collective has grown steadily from the 17 initial members to double that number of artists and writers, the latter of whom produce zines. Initially, those zines were given away or traded. Now, they’re for sale, as are other pieces. “When we actually started selling artwork, that felt like a big step forward, that people were open to this, that people were open to an unknown and going by what it should be, which is the art itself, and not who made it, like, ‘What is this going to be worth and how can I flip it?’” Farrell says. “I think that it has shifted for people, to where a lot of artists have realized it is possible—that we can carve out this space and really get people to take notice,” Eddy adds. “At least for me, it’s been really en-
couraging to think about, ‘OK, I can be a professional creative.’” That’s a revolutionary notion for a collective fully loaded with artists who hold down separate full-time jobs, and that includes Eddy and Farrell. This latest show tangles with the other end of the young artist’s dilemma: where to make art, now that the end of college has also ended studio access. The 35 artists involved have engaged with Narrows, in terms of the tight domestic spaces in which many of them make their work, and the perilous journey those pieces make as they traverse out into the world. It’ll be their biggest show to date, both in terms of artists involved and the space they’ll be utilizing. “We’re really thinking about how odd it is, that we’re often producing works in these tiny spaces—on bedroom floors, and then showing them in a big white box,” Eddy says. “You don’t really know if it’s going to hold that wall until you put it up. But over and over again, we’ve been able to take that leap, and it works. It resonates.”

THE CALENDAR MUSIC “Dad! It creeps me out when you make comments about women you wanna fuck. I realize you’re a sexual person, and I honor that, and blah de blah blah blah. But these are thoughts you share with friends, Dad, not with your adult children. There’s no need to go into your oh-so-sorry routine, Dad, we just need to change the subject.” Over the years, I have consumed what I believe to be an average amount of porn for a 44-year-old hetero guy. I have never paid for it, and I am now facing a troubled conscience for that fact. I could obviously just subscribe to some site or other now, but that would benefit only one company and/or set of performers. Is there a Dan Savage–approved charity relating to the adult film industry to which I could donate? -Seeks Penance And Needs Knowledge “Porn performers almost never get royalties for their scenes when they work for big studios,” said Conner Habib, a writer, activist, and porn performer. “If you buy into the trickle-down theory of things, then more money for the studio should mean more money for the performers. If you don’t buy into that—and not everyone does—there are other options.” To get your money directly to the performers whose work you’re currently enjoying/stealing, SPANK, you can patronize smaller studios run by performers, book time with independent webcam models, and purchase porn created by performers on sites like Clips4Sale.com. To atone for your years of freeloading, SPANK, you can and should make large donations to two organizations. “ Th e A d u l t Pe r f o r m e r A d vo c a c y Committee (APAC) (apac-usa.com) is the largest performer-based organization in the world, and its membership is made up entirely of performers,” said Habib. “Full disclosure: I’m the vice president, but no donation money goes to me or any board member. It all goes to the organization, which works to improve the working conditions, quality of life, and safety of performers, as well as to fight antiporn laws and stigma.” Habib also recommended donating money to the Sex Workers Outreach Project (swopusa.org). “This isn’t a porn-specific organization,” said Habib, “but it works to protect and fight for the rights of all sex workers. Since many performers are doing other forms of sex work, donations go a long way to help porn performers.” Habib will be hosting an online lecture/ seminar about the upside of porn on Sunday, June 5. His talk is titled “Pornworld: Why Pornography Is a Healthy Part of Our Culture,” and you can find out more about it by searching “pornworld” at Eventbrite.com. You can—and you should—follow Habib on Twitter @ConnerHabib. I didn’t talk to my nearly-70-year-old dad for most of my 20s. Now that I’m back trying to maintain relationships with my parents, I am struggling. My dad is the king of the overshare. He makes creepy comments about women who are about 30 to 40 years younger than him—including women who were kids when he met them but are now grown-ups. Not something I want to hear. I don’t think he is abusing anyone, just being creepy, but I desperately want him to stop with the inappropriate comments. He makes about one creepy comment per phone conversation. If he were a person at work, I would be able to stand up for myself and say, “That is not appropriate.” But when he says creepy stuff, Dan, I’m a deer in the headlights. I go silent, it’s awkward, and I keep hoping he’ll understand how weird he’s being. I would say something, but bringing up things that anger me causes him to act overly sorry, and that routine is annoying too. I asked my mom (they divorced a long time ago), and she had no suggestions. She was just like, yeah, he’s like that. Any suggestions on what to say? -Seeking Help Regarding Unpleasant Guy

My husband and I have been married for 16 years. We have been polyamorous for the last five years. We are a bit mismatched sexually in many ways. Polyamory was our solution. For much of this time, my husband had a girlfriend. Before I go on, let me say that I adore my husband in all ways except sex. We are raising a child together and are a good fit otherwise. I no longer have any desire to have sex with my husband. Lots of men and women write in to complain about their partner’s low libido. This is not the case. My libido is fine. I just don’t want to have sex with my husband. Whenever we would have sex in the past, I would get anxious and try to avoid it. We each have our issues. He feels insecure and has trouble maintaining erections. I always felt desexualized—not by him, but when I was younger. Being a poly woman dating in my 40s has been incredibly empowering and sexy. But my husband’s experiences have been different. He is frustrated because it is hard for him to meet women, and his frustration is made worse by the fact that I don’t want sex with him either. When he had a girlfriend, our sex life wasn’t as much of an issue. What should I do? He’s unhappy. I’m frustrated. Neither of us wants to divorce. Should I force myself? -Lady In Baltimore Isn’t Desiring Obligatory Sex It is a truth universally acknowledged—in the poly universe anyway—that a married poly woman will have an easier time finding sex partners than a married poly man. Some men in open/poly relationships present themselves as dishonest cheaters rather than honest nonmonogamists because women would rather fuck a married man who’s cheating on his wife than a married man who isn’t cheating on his wife. Go figure. Anyway, LIBIDOS, the answer to your question—should you force yourself to fuck your husband?—depends on your answer to this question: How badly do you want to avoid divorce? Because if your husband can’t or won’t pretend to be cheating, LIBIDOS, and if women won’t fuck him because he’s in an open marriage, your refusal to fuck him could wind up incentivizing divorce. So to save your marriage, LIBIDOS, you might wanna fuck your husband once in a while. Forcing yourself to fuck someone is tiresome and dispiriting, I realize, but you can always close your eyes and think about someone you’d rather be fucking—a timetested stratagem employed successfully by millions of people in loving, stable, and sexually enervating/dead marriages. And since you’re off the hook when your husband has a girlfriend, LIBIDOS, you might wanna do everything you can to help him find a new one—a stratagem employed by tens of thousands of women in poly relationships. You don’t want your husband stewing alone at home while you’re out fucking your boyfriend(s), LIBIDOS, because that ups the odds of your resentful/unfucked husband asking you to close up your relationship again or asking you for a divorce. So help him craft messages to women he contacts online, go to play parties and poly mixers with him, and vouch for him to women he’s interested in. But between girlfriends, LIBIDOS, you’ll probably wanna fuck him once in a while. Lube for you, Viagra for him, pot for you both.

What got you into working on cars? I got into working on cars because I believe in the power of relationship. Understanding how a car works, propels us forward, and also how it is made, is an empowering feeling. To build relationships with our world in aesthetic ways, to be connected to our physical capacities as creators, and to be aware of how each moment can become a piece of art creates relational aesthetic experiences. Working on cars is art in itself, much like the rest of our creative lives. There is no beginning nor end to our capacity to exist aesthetically. This is also a reaction to the Western art paradigm, wherein art has been very separated from the “rest of life,” which offends me deeply.

Are there any difficulties in being a woman in that world? Being involved in “that world” (the one of cars and car enthusiasts, I suppose) as a woman only becomes special because most of the people involved in the car culture are male. As a child, I never thought that there were roles for genders. Mama built the house and fixed the car and didn’t let anyone else use her chainsaw. When I was older, she bought me my own chainsaw. As I followed my dreams, they led me, again and again, into male-dominated worlds. The only times that I have been frustrated in these worlds is when people assume that the only place a woman belongs in a “man’s world’ is in a photograph, scantily clad and draped over a fender. This objectification of women reflects our society’s inability to build intimate and vulnerable relationships with everything in our lives. This, also, reflects our relationship to our planet and how we have objectified spirituality, natural resources, material things and each other. What pieces do you have in Con Cariño? I have several pieces of art in Con Carino; I have recreated a vase that I made several years ago, which features a ‘64 Riviera and a ‘57 Chevy panel van, two vehicles that I find aesthetically appealing. It also features portraits of my gender-role deconstructing performers in their post-apocalyptic warrior getup, to juxtapose what I find beautiful and empowering with how women are usually depicted with cars. Around the lip are the words “I have arrived,” in Old English font, to state a phrase that I often use to remind myself of the power of the present moment. This vase is about honoring the aesthetic awareness that can be present in every moment. There are also large printed photographs that Kate Russell took of my ‘85 El Camino, Maria, and two of my performers in warrior garb. The El Camino is painted like that of a Maria Martinez pot, referencing my Indigenous background and aesthetic.

Past Repast Dining into the future at the Inn of the Anasazi
COURTESY INN OF THE ANASAZI
FOOD

here’s a new chef at Anasazi Restaurant, you may have heard. Edgar Beas took over the Inn of the Anasazi’s kitchen earlier this year, and he’s just released new menus. The food has a distinctly Spanish vibe and nods to traditional New Mexico flavors while incorporating progressive, if not exactly molecular, techniques. That means plates like seared foie gras with red chile, dark chocolate, juniper berries and brioche ($32). Beas says he’s interested in foraged herbs and whole-animal butchery, and he makes a saddle of lo-

plicated and time consuming. They will send you on a treasure hunt for exotic ingredients and challenge the most adventurous of you to push your home cooking into the realm of art, and you people know who you are. For others, even if you never try these dishes at home, it’s great fun to peek behind the curtain and see how the magic is made.

cal lamb with Anasazi beans, wheat grass, goat milk curd and whey bread ($42). Roasted brassicas come with crisp pork jowl, egg yolk bottarga and smoked garbanzo beans ($18). There’s also a dry-aged striploin with bone marrow, onion petals, piñóns and pickled strawberries ($48). Edgy? No. Expensive? Yes. Which means for most of us, it’s going to be a special occasion place. Which is fine: It’s nice to feel like you’ve got something splurgeworthy when the next celebration comes around. “I want people to have a memorable, unique experience,” Beas says. “They’ll have to be a little adventurous and be interested in trying new things.” He adds that he plans to change the menus frequently. “I don’t want people to expect that there will be signature dishes here.” Chef Beas agreed to share a couple of recipes from the new menu, and they’re pretty exciting—and com-
STONE-COOKED QUAIL WITH JUNIPER BERRIES, APPLES AND BRANCHES, SMOKED EGG YOLK AND VERDOLAGA (SERVES 4) If you don’t have verdolaga (wild purslane) growgrow ing in your yard, you can substitute watercress, sturstur dy spinach or another succulent green. − apple and juniper branches, as needed for fire − 6 whole quail, split in half − 1 apple, cored and sliced ¼-inch thick − 2 tablespoons juniper berries − 4 whole eggs in shell − ¼ cup olive oil − sea salt − 1 cup dry white wine − 1 cup crème fraiche − 1 lime
DIRECTIONS 1. Place the stone (soaked but not dripping) in the middle of a grill light, arrange the apple and juniper branches around it, and light a good fire. Let the stone heat for at least 1 hour prior to cooking. 2. Lightly season the quail with salt. 3. Add a few drops of olive oil to the hot stone and place each quail on it, skin side down. After 2-3 minutes, turn and finish cooking 2 more minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. 4. Add the apples to the stone and cook 1-2 minutes, until they’re caramelized, and then remove them from the stone. 5. With a sharp knife, cut off the top of the eggshell and place it in a large bowl. Separate the egg yolk and add it back into the shell. Place the eggshells in between the branches and cook them for 2 minutes for a soft consistency. 6. Toss the purslane in olive oil and char it lightly on the hot stone. Season it with salt, lime juice and zest. 7. Make the juniper berry sauce: In a clay pot on the fire (or a saucepan on the stove), toast the juniper berries for 3 minutes. Add the wine and reduce by half. Remove from heat and fold in crème fraiche. Season with salt to taste. PLATING 1. On a plate, arrange three halves of quail on an angle. Scatter four apple slices all over the plate. 2. Remove the egg yolk from shell and place in the middle of the plate.
− 2 small bunches purslane (or any wild succulent), watercress or thick spinach
3. Spoon 1 ounce of juniper sauce on top of the quail.

LITERATURE
Thriller with a pedigree melds romance, comedy and a catastrophic threat to mankind … sound familiar? BY JULIE ANN GRIMM e d i t o r @ s f r e p o r t e r. c o m

e might as well get it out in the open right now, in case you are late to the party: Author Joe Hill is actually Joseph King—son of (prolific American horror heavyweight) Stephen King. Variety broke the pseudonym story four novels ago, but Joe kept the pen name all the same. It’s understandable how when he struck out to take a stab at a writing career of his own that he didn’t want to ride Dad’s coattails, and for ten years, not even his own agent knew the truth. What’s harder to grasp is why Hill’s new book about a population-changing event, The Fireman, is in so many ways a riff on one of Dad’s darlings. Yet there’s never anything truly new under the sun, and as Hill says, “You’ve got to go back to go forward.” He does this well. My copy of The Stand is the massive “complete and uncut” version, published two decades after the book’s release in 1978; Stephen King apparently wasn’t happy with a hardback you could barely heft with one hand. The epic on good and evil set after an apocalyptic disease has a cast of characters who seem so real that they feel like your cousins or high school buddies, with the magic of dialog that made King,

well, king. Plus the social commentaries of group dynamics are horrific all on their own. Hill’s version is a more pop-fiction approach to the same sort of big think, yet its creative streak and high-tension sequences within a setting that’s firmly current take it in a divergent direction. Its superhero and almost rom/com elements also lead readers of The Fireman through richly different territory, making me laugh out loud a few times and jot down witty parallels (“Maine is like Mordor”)—even if Donald Trump and Coca-Cola make appearances that sometimes feel like product placement. “I was about two-thirds of the way through the first draft when it came to me that the book was full of echoes of The Stand, which I love and I’ve read half a dozen times,” Hill tells SFR. “Then I had to make a decision: Do I run from this, do I try to disguise the similarities or do I acknowledge those echoes?

¡Que Viva! Music and machismo bring drama to the doorstep, as Viva learns to fly in Havana by julie ann grimm editor@sfreporter.com
Is there anyone who’s not talking about Cuba these days? President Obama and the first family seemed to love their trip; in his speech to the people there during the March sojourn, Obama said, “Havana is only 90 miles from Florida, but to get here we had to travel a great distance—over barriers of history and
ideology; barriers of pain and separation.” As the island recently became fair game for American tourists after decades of prohibition on travel, it seems to occupy a new place in the sphere of imagination, too. Sure, we love the classic cars with shiny paint jobs, but there’s a decidedly less shiny part of Cuba to consider. It’s the part where people work hard or can’t find work at all and live in poverty,

sexuality in the machismo culture when Jesus comes face to face with a father he’s never known (Jorge Perugorría). The characters are deep and believable. Garcia, a well-known Cuban actor with a long CV, is especially striking in his role. “Why do you want to do this?” he asks Jesus in the resonant bass of a man who’s been doing drag longer than Jesus has been alive (and in Spanish, of course). “It’s strong,” Jesus answers. “It’s pretty.” The perspective on bleached-out and bursting Havana is rewarding. The exploration of how a father and son come to terms with each other doesn’t exploit either of them, and that’s no small feat when the material you’re working with could lend itself to West Side Story stereotypes or, worse, To Wong Fu. Never fear, it’s all tied up in a bow by the end. The Irish filmmakers, who shot on location in Cuba and at home in Ireland, got this release by Magnolia Pictures in fine shape. And it might just leave you looking online late at night for an English translation of “Que te Pedi.” You can tell the world.
where endless pots of rice are cooked in sparsely furnished houses with peeling paint and missing windows. To look at the poster for Viva, you might think it’s a pleasant tryst through a glittering, bumping and bragging drag show or a colorful jaunt with Cuban rhythms. You’d be wrong. Yet colorful it is, and just as jarring as it is empowering. But first, the music. Names like Rosita Fornés and Gina León don’t mean much if you’ve been steeped in Brittany and Taylor too long. These women are rich reflections of the gutsy power that forms a great backbone for slow and dramatic lip-syncs by men who are excellent with the eyebrow pencil. They’re emblematic, true-to-life Cuban singers who had the spotlight in the middle of the last century. Fornés is a big, big star from film and music who was still belting it out at age 92 at her birthday party in Miami last year. YouTube that. When Viva, the stage name for Jesus (Héctor Medina), or Mama, the aging, fierce owner of the club (Luis Alberto García), take the stage to breathlessly re-enact the songs that tell stories of love and loyalty and stars and heartbreak, they take your heart right with them. Even if at first, Jesus is really bad at it. Viva is also a family drama that rips into all the painful territory that comes with relationships broken by alcohol, incarceration and frustration about

MILES AHEAD “An attempt to portray Davis as a gangster and a man of his time”
MONEY MONSTER Jodie Foster directs the mediocre new film, Money Monster, starring George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Jack O’Connell. When a bazillion-dollar company called Ibis loses hundreds of millions overnight due to a reported algorithm glitch, Lee Gates (Clooney), who is the host of a Mad Money-esque show, has to eat his hat for recommending it to investors. Gates is like that MBA frat douche who never grew up and totally undervalues his director, Patty (Roberts), while constantly shitting all over the concept of actual journalism in favor of the almighty dollar. But then Kyle Budwell (O’Connell) appears during a live broadcast with a gun in his hand and a vest packed with plastic explosives to blame Gates for causing him to lose all his money on the bad investment and suddenly we’ve got ourselves a thriller. Elsewhere, the CEO of the company is missing, and the more everyone thinks about the lost money, the more they agree something doesn’t quite add up. Apparently this is supposed to count as “layered,” and though Money Monster never really has that moment that makes you wish it would just end already, it does manage to be not very exciting throughout. Is the villain actually the villain? Does Gates ever take a look at himself? Why is Julia Roberts still allowed to
be in movies after the train wreck that was The Secret in Their Eyes? By the time the big surprise ending does arrive, it just doesn’t seem like a big deal. It’s definitely exciting that movies like this or The Big Short are beginning to look at the straight thievery of Wall Street, but whatever moral they may have been attempting to get across in this particular film is lost in the shuffle. If you like any of the actors, are curious about Foster’s directorial chops or wind up bored on a Sunday, this’ll do, but if you’re looking for a film that can be described as more than serviceable, keep searching. (Alex De Vore) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 147 min.
CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR In War, the fallout from the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron has the world on edge and wreaks havoc on international diplomacy. Toss in a mission gone awry in the opening minutes of the film, and people are scared of our heroes. Hell, why wouldn’t they be? As Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross (a perfectly smarmy William Hurt) points out to Cap and crew, they operate across sovereign borders with zero oversight, and the stuff that went down during their last outing in Sokovia left all kinds of people dead. World leaders want them to sign a document known as the Sokovia Accords, a treaty that will place restric-
tions on the team and have them report to a higher power. Tony Stark (the somehow always arrogant Robert Downey Jr.) is all for it, as he does battle with his own conscience over deaths they may have caused. Captain America (the usually pretty good but in this case kinda boring Chris Evans) refuses, however, stating something about how they need to do what they need to do. If that wasn’t bad enough, some jerk sets off a bomb at the UN meeting to ratify the treaty, thereby setting into motion a chain of events that, while complicated, is totally easy to follow. Surveillance footage would have us believe it was the dubious Winter Soldier (Captain America’s Hydra-hypnotized pal, Bucky, played here capably by Sebastian Stan), but Captain America isn’t buying it, so he takes off on his own to save the day, even though that’s illegal now. Plus there’s this mysterious dude Zemo running around, killing people and being nuts, and that’s no good, either. War can be commended for actually delving into the moral ramifications of super-strong badasses who can blow up entire countries. Is a cadre of such proportions making the world a safer place, or are these heroes ignoring their collateral damage through the misguided belief that they are just and right? Marvel has done a wonderful job of slowly leading up to the joining of so CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

MOVIES
meh Clooney is mad as hell, and he’s not gonna take this anymore. many characters, and new heroes like Black Panther joining forces with less mainstream champs like Ant-Man (the ever-brilliant Paul Rudd) is thrilling. They even got Spider-Man right, finally, as young Tom Holland’s all-too-brief appearance as Spidey perfectly encapsulates the web-slinger’s youthful hubris and quip-a-minute personality. No, this is not Citizen Kane, but if that’s the kind of movie you’re stacking comic films against, you are thinking about the genre all wrong. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 147 min.
A HOLOGRAM FOR THE KING Tom Hanks is almost always at his best when he plays the everyman thrust into extraordinary circumstances. He’s America’s sweetheart, and while the man has proven his chops in dozens of memorable films over the years, he always excels in roles that utilize a simple and understated charm that almost allows us to feel like he’s a buddy of ours. In A Hologram for the King, Hanks plays Alan Clay, an aging businessman with a recent messy divorce under his belt, a strained relationship with his daughter and a poor decision that led to the accidental destruction of Schwinn bicycles still fresh in his mind. Clay travels to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to pitch holographic technology to the king himself and must navigate a baffling labyrinth of culture clash, gender issues and severe panic attacks that practically hobble him. Based on the 2013 Dave Eggers novel of the same name, Hologram seems on the surface to be simple to the point of lacking depth, and for those who might misinterpret subtlety or prefer their films to lay out stories plainly, that could definitely be a problem. Glaring issues such as the archaic role of women in modern Middle Eastern society or the systematic hollowing of the American economy at the hands of outsourcing are briefly explored, but anytime anything begins to approach too heavy or serious, we pop to a new scene wherein Hanks’ character comically falls off a chair or the differences in culture create silly little misunderstandings. This doesn’t mean that Clay’s struggles to be heard by the Saudis don’t come with tense moments of confusion, rather that the film knows what it is and doesn’t strive for too deep. Hologram recalls the importance of story in cinema, an important accomplishment in our current filmic era of real-life people playing sup-

port roles to superheroes and CGI. (ADV) Violet Crown, R, 98 min.
THE JUNGLE BOOK One could easily make the argument that Jon Favreau’s (Iron Man) new live-action Jungle Book adaptation is another nail in the “Hollywood is out of fresh ideas” coffin, but there are enough new elements mixed in with nods to the animated Disney classic that it’s worth checking out, even if you aren’t being forced by your kids. We follow young Mowgli (newcomer Neel Sethi), a man-cub who was found in the jungle by the wise and just panther, Bagheera (Ben Kingsley), and deposited with a pack of wolves to be raised all wolf-like and to learn the ways of the jungle. Bagheera super-duper loves this kid and spends all sorts of time with him and his wolf-bros, running informal training drills so as to make the jungle a little safer. Life is good for Mowgli, but then a dry spell causes a lack of drinking water and thus the need for a jungle-wide truce; since there’s pretty much only one place where an animal can get a sip, they all ditch the predator/prey dynamic and get drinking. This is actually a real-life thing that happens for wild animals, so that’s cool, but it brings the totally angry Shere Khan (voiced to epically evil proportions by Idris Elba) to town, and he’s not havin’ it. By the end of The Jungle Book, it’s unclear if there was supposed to be some kind of message about environmentalism and how fire is powerful or something about nature versus nurture, but since the CGI is some of the best to date and there’s not a lot cooler than a bear fighting a tiger, it ultimately doesn’t matter. If you liked the animated version as a kid, are one of the few who has actually read the book (don’t lie, we know most of you didn’t) or want to take your kids someplace, you could do a lot worse than this. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal 14, PG, 105 min.
MILES AHEAD If you had a time machine and wanted to know where “cool” came from, you could do worse than to travel back to 1949 New York and look up a guy named Miles Davis. Davis was a pioneer in bebop and jazz music, in case you didn’t know (and if you didn’t, shame on you). It seems like it would be a great fit for Hollyweird to make some sort of biopic of Davis and his exploits on the bleeding edge of
MOVIES
yay! These guys are always running everywhere, and it looks exhausting. music and popular culture. Somehow, it hasn’t happened until now. Cheadle takes the lead in front of the camera as well, playing Davis during his postpost-modern era in the late ‘70s, with wild hair and an even wilder drug-addicted disposition. Davis is on the edge of creative destruction, holed up in his Manhattan apartment, being hounded by record company executives and a morally bankrupt but somehow loveable freelance reporter, played by Ewan McGregor. Cheadle’s performance is remarkable. He keys into Davis’ raspy, curt, nearly unhinged personality. The movie starts off with a car chase and a gunfight. You read that right. A lauded jazz musician, whose music you’re more likely to
hear now in a fine dining restaurant than in the smoke-filled gin-joints of yesteryear, wildly fires a revolver out of the back of his luxury automobile—chased by an unknown assailant for a reason that’s not entirely clear at the outset. It’s worth noting that it’s not the only gunfight of the movie (or the only car chase, for that matter). Whether this event is true or not isn’t the point. Rather, Miles Ahead is an attempt to portray Davis as a gangster (those are Cheadle’s words) and a man of his time. Miles Ahead is worth taking the time to see. It never lets up in its unapologetic portrayal of an American icon, despite how uncomfortable he may make us feel at times. Cheadle makes Miles real. (Ben Kendall) Violet Crown, R, 100 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT ACUPUNCTURE Rob Brezsny
Week of May 18th
ARIES (March 21-April 19) “An oar moves a boat by entering what lies outside it,” writes poet Jane Hirshfield. You can’t use the paddle inside the boat! It’s of no value to you unless you thrust it into the drink and move it around vigorously. And that’s an excellent metaphor for you to keep in mind during the coming weeks, my friend. If you want to reach your next destination, you must have intimate and continual interaction with the mysterious depths that lie outside your known world.
joy is possible only if today’s joy makes way for it.” What this means, Libra, is that you will probably have to surrender your attachment to a well-honed delight if you want to make yourself available for a bright new delight that’s hovering on the frontier. An educational blessing will come your way if and only if you clear space for its arrival. As Gide concludes, “Each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding wave.”
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “How prompt we are to satisfy the hunger and thirst of our bodies; how slow to satTAURUS (April 20-May 20) The short attention span is isfy the hunger and thirst of our souls!” Henry David now enshrined as the default mode of awareness. “We Thoreau wrote that, and now I’m passing it on to you skim rather than absorb,” says author James Lough. “We just in time for a special phase of your long-term cycle. read Sappho or Shakespeare the same way we glance During this upcoming interlude, your main duty is to over a tweet or a text message, scanning for the gist, FEED YOUR SOUL in every way you can imagine. So impatient to move on.” There’s a problem with that please stuff it with unpredictable beauty and reverent approach, however. “You can’t skim Shakespeare,” says emotions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “There are situations in life SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “Here’s how every love when it is wisdom not to be too wise,” said Friedrich letter can be summarized,” says Russell Dillon in his Schiller. The coming days may be one of those times for poem “Past-Perfect-Impersonal”: “What is it you’re you. I therefore advise you to dodge any tendency you unable to surrender and please may I have that?” I bring might have to be impressed with your sophisticated this tease to your attention because it may serve as a intelligence.

These gems, along with theologian St. Jerome wrote that “it requires infinite dismy commentary, will serve you well if you use them as cretion to look for gold in the midst of dirt.” Ancient seeds for your ongoing meditations. Seed #1: “He would Roman poet Virgil on one occasion testified that he was like to start from scratch. Where is scratch?” Here’s my “searching for gold in dung.” While addressing the addendum: No later than your birthday, you’ll be ready angels, nineteenth-century French poet Charles to start from scratch. In the meantime, your task is to find out where scratch is, and clear a path to it. Seed #2: Baudelaire bragged, “From each thing I extracted its quintessence. You gave me your mud, and I made gold “All the things one has forgotten scream for help in out of it.” From what I can tell, Caprciorn, you have been dreams.” My addendum: Monitor your dreams closely. They will offer clues about what you need to remember. engaged in similar work lately. The climax of your toil should come in the next two weeks. (Thanks to Michael Seed #3: “Relearn astonishment, stop grasping for Gilleland for the inspiration: tinyurl.com/mudgold.) knowledge, lose the habit of the past.” My addendum: Go in search of the miraculous. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) “There are friendships like circuses, waterfalls, libraries,” said writer Vladimir Nabokov. I hope you have at least one of each, Leo. And if you don’t, I encourage you to go out and look for some. It would be great if you could also get access to alliances that resemble dancing lessons, colorful sanctuaries, lion whisperers, prayer flags, and the northern lights. Right now you especially need the stimulation that synergistic collaborations can provide. The next chapter of your life story requires abundant contact with interesting people who have the power to surprise you and teach you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “Perfection is a stick with which to beat the possible,” says author Rebecca Solnit. She is of course implying that it might be better not to beat the possible, but rather to protect and nurture the possible as a viable option—especially if perfection ultimately proves to have no value other than as a stick. This is always a truth worth honoring, but it will be crucial for you in the weeks to come. I hope you will cultivate a reverence and devotion to the possible. As messy or maddening as it might be, it will also groom your powers as a maker.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “At this time in my life,” says singer Joni Mitchell, “I’ve confronted a lot of my devils. A lot of them were pretty silly, but they were incredibly real at the time.” According to my reading of the astrological omens, Aquarius, you are due to enjoy a similar grace period. It may be a humbling grace period, because you’ll be invited to decisively banish worn-out delusions that have filled you with needless fear. And it may be a grace period that requires you to make strenuous adjustments, since you’ll have to revise some of your old stories about who you are and how you got here. But it will also be a sweet grace period, because you’ll be blessed again and again with a visceral sense of liberation. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) More than halfway through her prose poem “A Settlement,” Mary Oliver abruptly stops her meandering meditation on the poignant joys of spring’s soft awakening. Suddenly she’s brave and forceful: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.” Now would be a perfect moment to draw inspiration from her, Pisces. I dare you to say it. I dare you to mean it. Speak these words: “Therefore, dark past, I’m about to do it. I’m about to forgive you for everything.”
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) An invigorating challenge is headed your way. To prepare you, I offer the wisdom of Homework: What’s the one thing you would change French author André Gide. “Through loyalty to the past,” about yourself if you could? And why can’t you?
