CVWD Customers Disappoint in December Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD) customers reduced water use by a disappointing 3.6% in December 2015 when compared to the same month in 2013. Customers reduced water use 25% from November to December. However, it wasn’t enough to make a differ-

ence over previous December usage, which is historically the lowest water use month of the year. To encourage conservation, CVWD has focused efforts in three key areas: rebate and incentive programs; public outreach and education; and drought penalties

It Works! Vodka If your feet smell less than swell, wipe them down with a vodka-soaked washcloth to get rid of the stench. It’s the same principle as rubbing alcohol (which works equally well if you’d rather drink your Grey Goose). Vodka
contains alcohol, which is antiseptic and drying, so it destroys odor-causing fungus and bacteria and dries out the moisture that lets these organisms grow.

If broccoli were a tree, it would be an oak, guardian of the vegetable forest. Since the days of the Roman Empire, it has served legions of Italians as a dependable and surprisingly versatile element of the culinary landscape.
the best ways to keep it crisp is a quick steam (3 to 4 minutes) until it’s barely fork tender and a bright, emerald green. Then you’re ready for everything from stir-fries to pasta dishes to casseroles.
Why then, stateside, is it so thoroughly misunderstood? Mostly, bad preparation. If there’s one way to make a lifelong enemy of broccoli, it’s by cooking it into mushy, army-green oblivion—a sight many of us are still trying to erase from our childhood memories. One of
Still not convinced? Try cheese and broccoli, a great combo that creates some great gateway dishes for finicky children and spouses. Also, try roasting it, which brings out bold, caramelized flavors that can convert nonbelievers into lifelong fans.
Chicken and Broccoli Casserole
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
A wide, shallow baking or gratin dish provides plenty of space for the crumbs on top to get crunchy. 6 cups bite-size broccoli florets and stems, peeled and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) hot cooked boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks 1/4 cup diced, drained jarred roasted red pepper, patted dry 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons butter, divided 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups 2 percent reduced-fat milk 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, Pinch ground nutmeg
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs 1. Preheat oven to 425F. Coat a 10-inch round shallow baking dish with cooking spray. 2. Steam or boil broccoli 3 minutes, or until crisp tender. Arrange in dish and top with chicken and red pepper. 3. In medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add flour and cook 1 minute, whisking constantly. Add milk and broth, whisking constantly until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat and cook 2 minutes. Stir in nutmeg, salt, pepper and cheese. Pour over chicken. 4. In a small skillet, melt remaining 2 teaspoons butter; add breadcrumbs. Sprinkle over chicken mixture. Bake 20 minutes, or until hot.

HOROSCOPE
JANUARY 28 -FEBRUARY 4 ARIES (March 21-April 19). Does it feel like you’re living to get a message, phone call, email or word at all from a certain person? Well, that’s no way to live. Take back your power by not caring.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll delight in contemplation. You can turn an idea over in your mind so many different ways that you are certain to find a way of looking at it that no one has ever thought of before. Share your talent. Your point of view is needed.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are no longer a passive observer in your group. Your opinion matters too much. Your observations are invaluable. Your involvement is immeasurable. From this point on, you are involved, big-time.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You do not often give your unqualified approval, but there is something you’ll experience today that unfolds in such a spot-on, perfect way that you cannot find a single thing to judge negatively about it.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The light conversation and casual questions you ask might satisfy more than just your curiosity; your interest is likely the attention another person has been quietly craving.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your imagination is strong now. Steer it well. You can fantasize your way out of a harsh, emotional desert and into an oasis lush with love, beauty and excitement. Or you can dwell on your fear and be miserable.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are many ways to be powerful. Stay aware of the more insidious ones. Limit your exposure to anyone who would try to use your fear or weakness against you as a psychological weapon. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll find satisfaction in hearsay or be captivated in unexpected ways by a story — fun, but don’t trust it or act on what might turn out to be false. Smalltown intrigue will likely amount to nothing more than trivial gossip. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The theme carries over (and will for the next few days). Hopefully, you can find a way to delight in the slight insufficiency you are experiencing, because others certainly will. You’ll go straight to their hearts!
14
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). To commiserate with someone doesn’t always automatically gladden them, but today it works just fine. Your manner of connecting with others could even inspire a miraculous healing. You have the touch today, so use it! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s something you’ll do strictly for money. It doesn’t conflict with your values, necessarily; it’s just that you really wouldn’t bother if money weren’t involved. You have bills, after all. Get in there and get it done. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People do strange things when they feel cornered. Sometimes they issue a preemptive strike. Avoid all that by giving everyone a graceful out, keeping things easy breezy and letting go of certain expectations.

Did You Know? Did You Know That Properly Installed Manufactured Homes Can Withstand Short Wind Gusts Over 120 Miles Per Hour? Mobile homes are located in every state in America. Manufactures of factory built housing have increased construction standards and quality material used over the past 4 decades. Did You Know The Last Mobile Home Was Made In 1976? Technically, a mobile home and manufactured home are different homes. A mobile home is always constructed before June, 1976. Homes constructed after June 1976 are known as manufactured homes. Manufactured homes must meet FHA certification requirements and come with attached metal certification tags on the home’s exterior.

Did You Know You Can Tell A Great Deal By A Mobile Home’s or Manufactured Home’s Roof? A not-so-commonly known trick is that a mobile home with a pitched roof will be built during the year 1982 or newer. Flat or curved roofs (or very very slightly pitched roofs) are typically built before 1982. This rule is only for single-wide mobile homes and manufactured homes, almost all double-wide mobile homes have pitched roofs.

Singing The Birds
(Wikitmallem Tahmuwhae) Continued from cover Created by the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum staff, in consultation with Tribal members and Lowell J. Bean, Ph.D., the exhibition will be displayed in the gymnasium for viewing at the daylong festival. After the event, individual panels of the exhibition will be displayed at public programs and educational outreach presentations in schools. Through the ages, bird singing and dancing have been an important part of Native culture for tribes in southern California and other regions of the Southwest. Birds inspired the Cahuilla people to migrate after the death of their creator, Mukat. They saw birds come and go throughout the seasons, and thought they must be going somewhere better.

The people followed the birds but lost their way, not knowing where to find water or food. They were caught in snow storms and many people died before they made their way back home. Bird songs are social songs that tell stories about the lessons learned during this migration. A completely oral tradition, they were sung in a precise order that accurately accounted for the chronology of the migration, and depended on their transference from teacher to student. Men and women both participate--singing and dancing while accompanied by the metered beat of rattles. For additional event information, call 760-833-8169 or e-mail cvictor@accmuseum.org.
