Ridley Scott’s God
The bible says God appeared to Moses as an angel in the fire of a burning bush. That’s an image open to interpretation (What does an angel look like after all?), but Exodus: Gods and Kings makes the fascinating decision to depict God as an angry little boy.
For most of the movie we’re cheering for Moses (Christian Bale) over the slave-driving pharaoh Ramses (Joel Edgerton, who’s excellent). Of course. But after God has summoned alligators, locusts, and worse to punish the people of Egypt for their enslavement of the Jews, the little boy appears to Moses again and says he’s got something much bigger in store. He explains his plan
out of earshot, but we hear Moses cry “No!” and beg Him to reconsider. The boy God is rancorous, though, and the next plague to arrive is a vast shadow that swallows Egypt and kills its first-born children. We see these Egyptian kids die in their parents’ arms. Boys. Babies. It’s truly evil.
So whose side are we on? Pharaoh has slaves; God kills innocent children. Exodus doesn’t really choose. Ridley Scott directed the film, and it’s definitely his style—swords and arrows are the weapons of choice, and the action is massive and gritty. Scott makes huge, crazy movies—Blade Runner, Gladiator, and Prometheus are films of grand scope and wild ambition. Exodus doesn’t rank among his best, but it’s a watchable, interesting take on the Moses tale.
When Prometheus was released in 2012, Scott told Esquire that “the biggest source of evil is of course religion.” Prometheus is unambiguously atheist: A crew led by a faithful churchgoer journeys deep into space to meet the creators of life on Earth and winds up horribly murdered by monsters. Blade Runner is about violent robots furious with their inventors and desperate for a prolonged lifespan. Religious notions drive some of Scott’s great movies, and in Exodus we see a kind of culmination. Here is God, not some metaphor, walking and talking to Christian Bale. And He’s an angry, mean little bugger.—Phil Parker

nowHAPPy NEW yEAR, EvERyONE! We have many reasons to be optimistic about the coming year. The nation’s economy
is improving, which should have a positive impact on Santa Fe, and so are our local art and entertainment scenes. you can look
at the calendar in this week’s issue of NOW, as well as online at SantaFeanCalendar.com, to find a wealth of activities you’re sure to
enjoy. It might be off-season here in Santa Fe, but it’s certainly not the slow season. If all the art and music available isn’t enough, there’s
also skiing. The holiday crowds have started to dissipate at Ski Santa Fe, and all that new snow over the past several days is ready for us. We have other reasons to be optimistic and happy too. We get to be in this beautiful place 365 days a year. There are few communities that have the variety and quality of arts offerings that Santa Fe does. That, coupled with stunning natural beauty and accessibility to the great outdoors, makes Santa Fe a community that provides blessings like no other place. As I celebrate a new year, new possibilities, and an expanding arts scene, I can’t forget how blessed I am to be here. Even in January.

On January 9, the 18 boys and girls of the African Children’s Choir will sing and dance at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi, one of 44 stops on an eight-state, four-month tour across America. More than 8,700 miles away from their homes in Uganda, the 7- to 10-year-olds—many of them orphans—will perform traditional African tunes accompanied by music or hand clapping.
The concert is presented as an offering: There’s no charge, but donations, which help support the choir and its programs, are welcome. One such program is the choir’s boarding school. “All the kids who are part of the choir attend boarding school in Uganda after the completion of the tour,” says chaperone Carrie Lyman. “They study while on tour, but they get to focus solely on schoolwork once the tour is finished.”
Humanitarian worker Ray Barnett founded the African Children’s Choir 30 years ago so that people around the world could meet African children dealing with poverty, starvation, disease, and violence in a positive setting and be inspired to help ease their suffering. The choir comprises youngsters who are recommended by adults within their communities. “Talent is considered, but the kids chosen are ones organizers feel can benefit the most from this experience,” Lyman says. “Once selected, they spend a few months at our training academy, where they learn songs, dances, and some English.”
In addition to performing in Santa Fe, the choir will appear in Clovis (January 7), Cedar Crest (January 11), Albuquerque (January 11), Ruidoso (January 14), and Las Cruces (January 16).—Emily Van Cleve

Santa Fe Snowshoe Classicrace 3.8 miles through the Santa Fe National Forest
by Whitney Spivey
IF SNOWSHOE RACING is tough, then snowshoe racing in Santa Fe is really tough. Not only are you trudging over snow-covered trails with an extra couple pounds strapped to each foot, but you’re doing it at 9,640 feet—an altitude that will slow down even the most hardcore athletes.
yet every year the Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic attracts dozens of runners and hikers determined to tackle the rolling terrain of the Santa Fe National Forest. In 2014, the Santa Fe Striders, the local running club that hosts the event, debuted a new 3.8-mile course that starts and ends at the Big Tesuque Campground. Racers complete a counterclockwise loop via the Big Tesuque Trail, Pacheco Canyon Road, and the Winsor Trail that incorporates 610 feet of climbing.
“The new course is for the better—you get to ‘warm up’ on a downhill instead of instantly going up a big hill,” says Samantha Rynas, who won her age group in 2014. “Last year was my second time racing in snowshoes, and I had so much fun. I plan on racing again this year.”
The male and female overall winners receive gift certificates to the specialty store the Running Hub; age group winners receive thermal mugs printed with the race logo. All participants receive Santa Fe Snowshoe Classic fleece scarves and will be eligible for a raffle drawing featuring prizes from Ski Santa Fe, Ski Apache, and the Running Hub, among other places.
Although the Snowshoe Classic will attract some talented runners, Race Director Kris Peterson maintains that novices are welcome. “Every year we have first-time snowshoers do the race, and many people actually hike all or part of the course,” she says. And no worries if you don’t own snowshoes; you can rent a pair from Ski Tech or Alpine Sports before the race.
In the meantime, pray for snow. If the course is covered, Peterson says, “it will be a great day outside.”

PEOPLE WHO ARE LIvING WITH physical or mental disabilities can enjoy the feel of snow schussing under their skis and snowboards this winter, thanks to the Adaptive Sports Program New Mexico (ASPNM). Founded in 1985, the organization, with support from Ski Santa Fe and Sandia Peak, offers multi-week lessons for public school students starting in January. Private lessons, given by 250 volunteers at either ski area, are available for adults and youth with reservations, and special programs for veterans with disabilities begin in February. Scholarships for all of ASPNM’s programs are available to those who qualify.
ASPNM’s participants are partnered with one or more instructors for two-hour lessons. Students with limited lower body strength may utilize equipment like a mono- or bi-ski, while those who are able to stand may use hand-held outriggers with skis on the bases for balance and support. Snowboarding lessons are popular with participants who have cognitive disabilities.
The addition of waterskiing, wakeboarding, and kayaking has allowed ASPNM to offer activities year-round, and this winter the organization kicks off its first-ever adaptive ski-racing program. Brett Maul, ASPNM’s program director, says that with the new competitive option, ASPNM hopes “to identify future athletes who may have the potential to compete in the Paralympics.”
“Hundreds of children, adults, and veterans living with disabilities are getting outside on the snow and on the water, pushing themselves to go beyond what they may have thought possible,” ASPNM says in a recent newsletter. “The opportunity to enjoy outdoor recreation with family and friends makes the experience even better.”

FOR THE LAST 50 yEARS, alpine ski racers from ages eight to 80 have been competing on the Santa Fe Ski Team, learning about team building, training for success, and having a good time on the snow in the process. Head coach Hubert Seigmann, a world-class racer from Austria, has led the team of approximately 65 members for the past five years.
“We have quite a nice core group of about 20 members who are skiing really well and have been with the program for a long time,” he says. The team trains on Saturdays and Sundays and races the slalom, giant slalom, downhill, and super-G disciplines. “All the skiers have to learn the whole spectrum [of race disciplines] and can specialize later,” Seigmann notes.
The junior team for 8- to 12-year-olds focuses on developing a solid foundation of skills with an introduction to racing techniques; the “ability team” is for teens who are ready for competition; and the masters team comprises racers 21 and older who are developing advanced racing skills. Seigmann notes that new members
are welcome any time of the year, and scholarships are available at all levels.During their six weeks of early season practice at Sipapu Ski and Summer
Resort and the Red River Ski Area, the team focused on basic gate training skills. Currently they’re practicing at Ski Santa Fe, where a newly widened slope designated specifically for the ski team was recently developed. This winter the team will compete in a series of events at Ski Santa Fe, Angel Fire Resort, Taos Ski valley, and a few places in Colorado.
Seigmann leads his team by example, as he continues to compete in World Cup downhill races. “It’s easier to teach with leadership and show things they can follow,” he says. “On the sidelines, you’re always perfect.”

Railyard FitnessBuddha Fitness Club gets a makeover
by Whitney Spivey
yOU DIDN’T HAvE TO BE Buddhist to join Buddha Fitness Club, but owner Douglass Lawder had to clarify that time and again after opening his Railyard district gym in May 2010. Eventually he decided he needed to rebrand. “I want to feel more a part of the community,” he says, “to be more recognizable and more a part of the Railyard community.”
And so, on January 1, Railyard Fitness will open in the same location as the former Buddha Fitness Club but with some serious updates—the most impressive of which is a cold-pressed, organic juice bar.
“The idea is to provide juices not just for people in the gym but also for people in the neighborhood,” Lawder says. Five staples will be on hand for people to purchase immediately, and juicer Joe Garcia will make custom orders. Garcia will also offer protein shakes and sell organic, gluten-free protein bars.
Other new features in Railyard Fitness include a Plexiglas wall between the class area and the rest of the gym, which should cut down on sound travel; more affordable membership rates; and three specialized programs: a three-day detox cleanse, a three-week body turnaround, and a three-month body makeover.
“I think the changes will benefit not only people who like classes but also people who love working out on their own,” says Laurie Gunst, a self-described gym rat of 15 years. “The gym is low key but high quality. I love going in there.” Railyard Fitness, 703 Camino de la Familia, #3105, 505-983-7909, railyardfit.com
i t ’s t ime to hit re set
PERHAPS yOU’RE PLANNING to start 2015 with a hot stone massage, and you’ve already purchased a pass for unlimited yoga classes. If that’s the case, you’re off to a great start. Don’t forget, however, that what you put into your body is just as important as how you stretch it, caress it, and pamper it externally—which is why Body of Santa Fe is hosting several classes and lectures that bring in area experts to talk about ways to live a healthier, more nutritious life.
On January 4, local Ayurvedic practitioner Deva Khalsa will lead a cooking class called “Gentle Cleansing for the New year,” in which she’ll teach participants how to make a liver-flush drink, cleansing soups and teas, kale salad, coconut chia-seed pudding, and dehydrated flax crackers.
Certified fitness instructor JC Corcoran will discusses the advantages of a plant-based diet in his lecture “How Healthy Can you Get?” on January 7. “I’ve met scores of people over the years who’ve reversed heart disease and diabetes and defeated cancer, all by switching to a healthy plant-based lifestyle,” says Corcoran, who’s been a practicing vegan for 26 years. “Why not avoid the expensive and profit-driven health (I don’t) care system altogether? Why not live in a healthy, trim body and live life to the fullest even into old age? It is possible!”

First Day Hikes
star t off the New year on the r ight foot
by Crist ina Olds
ON JANUARy 1, New Mexico State Parks is offering free, guided hikes in 19 of its properties as part of First Day Hikes, an America’s State Parks initiative that encourages people to connect with and enjoy the great outdoors.
“First Day Hikes are a great way to cure cabin fever and burn off those extra holiday calories by starting the New year with an invigorating hike in one of our beautiful state parks,” says New Mexico State Parks Director Tommy Mutz in a press statement. “Getting out into nature can recharge your mind, body, and spirit after the hectic holiday season.”
Hyde Memorial State Park, just 15 minutes from downtown Santa Fe, will host a moderately strenuous 1.5-mile hike along the Waterfall Trail at 10 am as part of the event. The rocky terrain winds through a canyon and alongside a trickling creek to a waterfall that’s often dramatically frozen during the winter months. Park entry fees are waived for the day, and a knowledgeable local guide will be on hand to answer questions about animal tracks, geology, history, and more.
Encompassing 350 acres of pine-filled forest in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Hyde Memorial State Park was the first designated state park in New Mexico. Situated at approximately 9,000 feet, it can experience unpredictable weather, and dehydration can happen quickly, so warm layers and plenty of drinking water are recommended. Dogs on leash are welcome.

style feng shui your home for a harmonious life
consultant Mary Layne discusses attracting good energy
by Emily van Cleve
THINK TWICE BEFORE you walk away from that stack of sweaty workout clothes on your bedroom floor. “Piles of dirty laundry are not conducive to energy movement,” says realtor and feng shui consultant Mary Layne, who’s studied the ancient Chinese system since 1995.
Feng shui, which translates as “wind water,” was practiced in Asia as early as 4000 B.C. Back then, practitioners used astronomical information to orient buildings in an advantageous manner. Today, many feng shui consultants use a bagua (an energy map of a space) to determine which areas of a home or office are connected to specific parts of a person’s life.
“Bagua mirrors, which can be purchased in town and are extremely potent, attract good energy, and deflect bad energy,” Layne says. “They need to be hung outside, above the home’s front door.”
Because clutter inhibits energy flow, Layne suggests purging drawers and desks. “Keep your house clean,” she says. “That will help a lot.” Maintaining a tidy master bedroom is of the utmost importance. “The changes you make there are more profound than they are

anywhere else in the house,” Layne says, also noting that the bed should not be in a direct line to the door, lest energy released during sleep leave the room.
If organized and kept correctly, a home can attract both love and financial prosperity. Sounds like a good way to start off the New year.

Plaza Café SouthsidePlaza Café Southside opened on Cerrillos Road in 2003, and it quickly established a loyal clientele that followed it to its current location in San Isidro Plaza, where it relocated in 2009. During the restaurant’s daily happy hour, guests can enjoy popular drinks like the Southside Cosmo and margaritas, both of which (pictured here) are mixed with 100 percent agave tequila. The Cosmo, created by the restaurant’s owner, Leonard Razatos, also features a hibiscus tea that’s made by boiling a whole hibiscus flower. The former manager of the restaurant’s downtown location and the son of the original Southside owner, Razatos prides himself on the restaurant’s use of fresh ingredients and original recipes. “Leonard researches, tries different things, and is always looking for something new,” says General Manager Michael Daudier. All of the restaurant’s cocktails feature fresh-squeezed fruit juices—never mixes or processed juices.—Cristina Olds

La Plazuela Dining at La Plazuela in the historic La Fonda on the Plaza hotel is especially memorable during the holidays. To ring in the New Year in culinary style, Executive Chef Lane Warner recommends trying his pan-roasted sea bass (pictured here), which features a fresh Veracruzana sauce composed of roasted tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, and serrano chiles. “When you roast vegetables, it brings out a different taste profile,” Warner notes. “These are real mellow.” The seasonal broccolini adds color to the dish, as does the herbed green rice with peas, on which the fish is placed. “The green rice is a simple deal,” Warmer says. “We sauté onion, celery, cilantro, parsley, poblanos, and garlic, and then we add rice to it and cook it in vegetable stock, pilaf-style.” The rice is packed in a mold for plating, with a bit of diced avocado tucked in the center, “kind of like an avocado Ding Dong,” Warner jokes. To accompany your New Year’s meal, try a glass of Domaine Chandon sparkling rosé (pictured), whose versatility and structure make it a perfect pairing for a spicy seafood dish.—Cristina Olds

COMPOSER AND LyRICIST Stephen Sondheim said, “Art, in itself, is an attempt to bring order out of chaos.” Inspired by this observation, the 14 artists of the cooperative gallery vivO Contemporary are launching Order and Chaos, a show featuring some 35 works (most of which are new) in mediums that range from book art to acrylic painting.
Ilse Bolle says her fiber sculptures play perfectly to the show’s theme. “All of my work has a rather personal origin,” she notes. “In daily life I try to create some order in whatever chaos is around. It’s a very contemporary and very fitting title to situations nowadays.” Bolle harvests tamarisk branches and layers them thoughtfully over handmade paper, as seen in her sculpture Lost in Thought.
Book artist Joy Campbell also incorporates found objects into her work. “The books I choose are discards—from libraries, public schools, or the Salva-tion Army,” she says. “They’re books that can no longer be used as books; the bindings are broken or they’ve been scribbled in. I take something from a chaotic state to something that has order to it.”
During this act of up-cycling, Campbell might cut or burn pages of a book or manipulate them by pleating or curling them like ribbons. In Sweet Thing I, which she’s unveiling in the show, she extended the pages beyond the edges of the book for the first time. Though the pages are outside the lines, they’re still carefully hewn and orderly.

Another Door OpensBarbara Bowle s br ings her f ine ar t photography to Sorrel Sky Gal ler y
BARBARA BOWLES, a.k.a. The Pickup Artist, is picking up and moving to Sorrel Sky after 10 years of running her own gallery. On January 2, she’ll debut her fine art photo-graphs of vintage pickup trucks in a solo exhibition called Another Door Opens.
When Bowles met Shanan Campbell Wells, Sorrel Sky’s owner, the two hit it off immediately, discovering a shared belief system with regard to how the art world should work. Their connection cemented Bowles’s decision to close her Water Street gallery and show in a new space. “It was really the right timing and the right person and the right place for me to put my art,” says Bowles, who was yearning for more time to pursue her own creativity.
Bowles will be the first photographer represented at Sorrel Sky’s Santa Fe location. “[Photography] isn’t a medium we represent often,” Wells says. “It has to be [by] someone who is very different in her field. Finding beauty in something that’s really not that beautiful to a normal eye [as Bowles does], that’s something a true artist can do.”
Bowles’s photographs have a painterly quality. She shoots abstract images on 35 mm film and then uses a digital process to print them on watercolor paper. “I’m used to film and prefer film,” she says. “I do feel I get a different quality with digital printing; I’m using the best of both worlds.”
Another Door Opens will feature selections from Bowles’s Pickup Art series as well as spiritual and cultural images of New Mexico. Collec-tors can expect new pieces from the artist in the future: Bowles says that the transition to Sorrel Sky will allow her to add to her existing bodies of work and create new ones that highlight the beauty of abandoned objects.
Barbara Bowles: Another Door Opens, January 2–31, reception January 2, 5–7:30 pm, Sorrel Sky Gallery, 125 W Palace, sorrelsky.com

the renowned ar t i st ’s compound feature s dozens of outdoor works
CHIRICAHUA APACHE sculptor, painter, and illustrator Allan Capron Houser (1914–1994) moved to Santa Fe in the early 1960s to chair the sculpture department at the Institute of American Indian Arts. His family’s 110-acre compound 30 minutes south of town housed his studio where he created a large portion of his work.
Although a selection of his pieces can now be found in Santa Fe’s Allan Houser Gallery and in major museums around the world (including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian), many of Houser’s monumental sculptures are displayed in the compound’s 10-acre sculpture garden. Three days a week, visitors can enjoy two-hour tours of the garden by appointment only. “We start the tour by showing a 10-minute video of Allan’s life,” says David Rettig, curator of collections at Allan Houser, Inc. “Then we head to the garden, where we usually have 85 pieces out at any given time.”
visitors can also explore an indoor gallery space that features dozens of Houser’s smaller bronze and stone sculptures, paintings, and drawings. The tour concludes in Houser’s original studio, which is now a special exhibitions gallery that showcases the work of guest artists. Sculptures by Houser’s son Phillip M. Haozous and Mexico City–based artist Nour Kuri are on display through May 2015.
Those interested in Houser’s work should also take in the show Footprints: The Inspiration and Influence of Allan Houser, on display through June 1, 2015, at Santa Fe’s Museum of Indian Arts and Culture.
Allan Houser Sculpture Garden tours, $25, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 10 am and 1:30 pm by appointment, Allan Houser Compound, 22 Haozous Rd, 505-471-1528, indianart.us

El Mesón, a Spanish restaurant located in downtown Santa Fe, hosts Argentine tango milonga every Tuesday night from 7:30 to 11 pm, with a $5 minimum drink cover. Milonga dancing is a relaxed version of tango (with fewer pauses and quicker steps) typically performed in a social setting. “We started holding Tuesday night Argentine tango dance parties in the late ‘90s at various venues around town until [organizer and dance instructor] Shahin Medghalchi found El Mesón about 14 years ago. We’ve been there ever since,” says Kay Carlson, president of the Santa Fe Tango club. Every week, between 20 and 40 tangueros slip on their dancing shoes and partner up for the festivities. “I treat [Tuesdays at El Mesón] like a salon in Buenos Aires,” says Medghalchi. “It’s for fun, a place to gather and dance together, while others who love the tango but don’t dance come every week just to watch.”—Cristina Olds
