Bravo to Jeff Haas and the members of Santa Fe for Justice in Palestine for having the guts to put up a billboard on private property despite continually being vandalized by Santa Fe Zionists. If only more Jews were willing to put tribalism aside and stand up for the human rights and suffering of Palestinians, crimes done in the Jewish name.

Yes, Jews suffered under WWII Nazis, but with almost continual attacks, theft, unjust imprisonments, sanctions, water cutoffs, medical denial, etc. for almost 70 years, now Jewish Zionists and Jewish Israelis are the new Nazis.

The world is bearing witness to Israeli crimes, and global hatred for Jews is increasing.

This time, Jews are doing it to themselves.

This Old House

that actually was built in the early 1600s.

If you know the area, you can sort of guess how the house might have gotten built where it is.

“Pedro! When are you going to build us that new house you promised? It’s already 1646, you lazy wanker!”

“I’m on it, Maria. I have my eye on a nice piece of property over on De Vargas, right next door to where that great pizza place is eventually going to be.”

“Is it going be like the last house you built, that collapsed in six weeks?”

“No, honey, you can come back in 100 years, this one will still be here!”

“Pedro, Pedro, Pedro. A hundred years? Why are you such a lying asshat?”

“But baby, this time, I swear!”

Here’s where I’m going with this (and I know it took me long enough to get here). When you visit the house, they give you this leaflet telling the story of Juan Espinosa, a young soldier who fell in love with a beautiful woman but was spurned by her. So Juan visited the Oldest House, which of course wasn’t called the Oldest House yet, to buy a love potion from two witches who lived there.

Long story short, the potion didn’t work, because, you know, duh! Juan returned to demand his money back, tripped and dropped his sword, and the witches cut off his head with it. To this day, he wanders up and down the street, stuffing Upper Crust sausage calzones down his neck hole and looking for his missing head.

I know, I know, there seems to be some problems with that story, like how does he look for his head if he doesn’t have eyes anymore? But I thought it would be rude to question their little tale while I was standing in the Oldest House in America.

Or not.

Has anybody here seen my head?

O

BY RO BE RT B A S L E R

ne of the more unusual tourist attractions in Santa Fe is a place called “The Oldest House.” Located over on De Vargas Street, the structure supposedly dates back to 1646. It’s the oldest house in the US, unless it isn’t.

Not everyone buys the Oldest House claim. Remember, this is Santa Fe, where two different buildings downtown have bronze plaques boasting they are on the site where Billy the Kid was jailed.

We are not above stretching the truth a bit for the tourists. We don’t even mind spinning a yarn about a Spanish soldier whose head was chopped off by witches in the Oldest House, but more on that later.

The reason I stress that this is a tourist attraction is, just try finding an actual Santa Fean who has ever been there. I dropped by recently to research this column, and the nice woman in the gift shop asked where I was from. When I said Santa Fe, she fell out of her chair. “Wow, we don’t get many of you in here!” she said.

The Oldest House has its own bronze plaque, which offers the first hint that the claim may not exactly be gospel. The historical marker calls it the “OLDEST” HOUSE. Seriously. Those quotation marks are not very reassuring.

It’s like texting your girlfriend, “Honey,” you’re so “beautiful.” I really “love” you. If she’s not an idiot, she’ll change her phone number immediately.

The always entertaining Encyclopedia of Santa Fe

by Mark H Cross, devotes only about 40 words to the “Oldest House in America,” calling it “clearly an exaggeration.” Hell, Mark doesn’t mention the beheading at all.

One reason folks have been willing to believe the “Oldest House” claim is that the place is right across the street from the San Miguel Mission, a church

BRIEFS Graduation Rates Reach New High Santa Fe Public Schools reports a new high for graduation rates this year at 66.8 percent, up from 52.5 percent in 2008, when the state adjusted the model for calculating graduation rates.

The way the numbers work now calculates the graduation rate by the amount of time a student is in school— so at-risk kids who finish in more than four years count against the district.

“For us to serve more kids and still to continue to outpace everyone in terms of graduation rate improvement is a bigger accomplishment than what the number might even suggest,” says Superintendent Joel Boyd.

This spring, he’ll hand out 30 percent more diplomas than were distributed the year before he started, and the district’s dropout rate has also decreased by 25 percent—and those numbers point to improvements on

multiple fronts, he says.

Among the changes that Boyd has implemented is the launch of Engage Santa Fe, an alternative high school for students ages 16 to 22 who have been out of school for longer than six months.

“I’ve got one kid, he’s going to walk across the stage this year, he’s 20 years old, he’s on his own, completely. He’s not going to show up in the graduation rate,” Boyd says. “But he’ll get a diploma, and the same life chances are going to be afforded to him as the kids who are going to be counting in this number.”

Santa Fe’s graduation rate is now ahead of Albuquerque Public Schools, which is reported this year at 61.7, and is closing in on the statewide average of 68.6. (Elizabeth Miller)

More Electronic Monitoring Use of electronic monitoring equipment to track criminal offenders and pretrial defendants in Santa Fe County has nearly doubled over the past five years, according to figures released to SFR by the county Public Safety Department.

From 2011 to 2015, the number of county residents ordered by judges to wear GPS monitors or use breathalyzers increased from 837 to 1,443. A county memo touts the programs as cost-effective alternatives to incarceration, but as the use of monitoring devices increased, the jail population has remained relatively steady.

County spending on electronic monitoring programs increased by 500 percent since 2011, when commissioners awarded a contract to BI Inc., the nation’s leading provider of offender monitoring devices and services. Last week, the Board of County Commissioners approved an additional $250,000 to pay for BI’s products, bringing the county’s total compensation of the company to more than $2 million.

While the county manages electronic monitoring, it is ultimately up to the courts to decide which offenders to track. County Manager Katherine Miller says that the current rate of expansion is becoming unsustainable. During a meeting with judges, she asked them to exercise discretion when considering the use of electronic monitoring.

“I’m not saying ‘Send them to jail.’

What I’m saying is, ‘If they’re not a flight risk, is GPS monitoring necessary?’” Miller says. “I’m asking them to work with us, because having this much of a budget increase doesn’t work with us.”

Tino Alva, the director of county monitoring programs, says part of the cash went to upgrading technology. On Monday, the county oversaw 125 people wearing ankle bracelets and 128 using Soberlink, a device that measures blood-alcohol level. (Steven Hsieh)

‘Movements Matter’ Amy Goodman to speak in Santa Fe on why we need independent journalism as a ‘force for peace’

COURTESY WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

NEWS

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

A

Immigrants who marched in Northern California (above), are part of a movement, which Amy Goodman (below) says is where you can find hope beyond dismal voter participation figures.

circus now well underway, she’s calling for a season without polls.

“It doesn’t matter what your family thinks, what other people think; who do you feel is the best person to lead this country?” she says. “The networks spend millions of dollars on these polls, they talk about the polls leading up to the elections and caucuses, and then they talk afterwards about why the polls got it so wrong. Why not have that same money, energy and investigation into what the candidates’ positions are, what their records are?”

Data hawks will still get their numbers every time there’s a caucus or a primary, at which point they can see what people think, as well as have a chance to collect demographics, including race and age.

“I think a big story that isn’t focused on is the number of people who don’t vote,” she says. “Eighty percent of people don’t come out for these primaries and caucuses. But the polls are there, and instead of speculating, let’s look at the hard facts of people’s records.

Instead, it becomes a kind of horse race coverage COURTESY AMY GOODMAN

fter two decades reporting from campaign trails and watchdogging governments around the globe, Amy Goodman insists that grassroots movements matter more than any single politician. Her latest book, Democracy Now! Twenty Years Covering the Movements Changing America, spotlights those ongoing efforts for equality.

Goodman says what she’s learned comes back to the importance of independent media.

“It is the oxygen of democracy,” she tells SFR. Independent, community-based media gives voice to people at the roots of an issue, rather than the rotating roster of pundits so often trotted out—“that small circle who know so little about so much, explaining the world to us and getting it so wrong,” as Goodman says.

She’ll be speaking in Santa Fe at the Lensic on Tuesday, April 26, as part of a 100-city tour.

Democracy Now! started in 1996 as an assignment from Pacifica Network to cover the presidential elections, but Goodman didn’t expect the gig to continue.

It’s now broadcast from 1,400 community stations around the globe on both radio and television. The more places she’s seen the show travel, she says, the more people have come forward, wanting to share their stories. Every week, a new station picks up the show, which has become a global news hour.

“I think it is a testament to the hunger for those voices,” Goodman says of that pace. And by “those voices,” she means the voices of people at the heart of a story.

“Whether you’re talking about a Palestinian child, or an Israeli grandmother, a kid in the South Valley in Albuquerque or a kid in the South Bronx, when you hear someone describing their own experience, it breaks down barriers that fuel the hate groups, because hate groups thrive on ignorance, on people not knowing each other,” she says. “You look at this presidential election and the kind of underbelly of hate that is being tapped when Donald Trump says, ‘We’re going to build a wall. We’re going to stop all Muslims from coming into the country.’ He’s tapping into fear.

If people know each other, it makes it much less likely that they’ll want to destroy each another. I just think the media can be the greatest force for peace on earth, and instead it’s wielded as a weapon of war.”

Part of her enthusiasm for bringing her tour to New Mexico stems from the multiple community media outlets she’ll be fundraising for here, including KUNM, KSFR and KNME-TV, and nonprofit media organization Quote … Unquote.

As it stands now, she sees the media failing to serve our democratic society in many ways, from wars to elections. With yet another presidential campaign

that makes people’s eyes glaze over. These are critical elections. They will help to determine the state of the planet, and we have to take them seriously, and cover them responsibly.”

The subtitle of her latest book, co-written with David Goodman, her brother, and Denis Moynihan (who will join her at the Lensic), focuses on the movements that run counter to the mainstream drumbeat in America—suggesting in ways most news updates often don’t that there is activism and hope and a will for change afoot.

From where she stands, Goodman says, she sees movements reshaping elections—the immigrants rights movement affecting campaigns even while a decision on undocumented migrants sits with the US Supreme Court, and Black Lives Matter activists appearing at campaign stops and disrupting the program when they’re not given a chance to participate in the conversation: “The corporate networks won’t hand them a mic, so they grab the microphone, and they demand answers.”

The journalist’s job is to hold those in power accountable. In an era of increasing police brutality, it’s all the more important to monitor the state—and monitor the police. Just last week, a pair of journalists filming for Democracy Now! were among two dozen people taken into police custody at an anti-Trump rally in Manhattan. They shouted, “Press! First Amendment rights!” even as the police pulled the camera and microphone from their hands and knocked them to the ground, Democracy Now! reported.

The task essential to a democratic society gives voice to those fighting for equality and for peace.

“It’s about movements. That is ultimately more powerful than even any president of the United States, who occupies the most powerful position on earth,” she says. “Movements make the difference.

Movements matter. The media denigrates activists, but what could be more noble than dedicating your life to making the world a better place?”

COUNTY CLERK

H

appy campaign season! As the June 7 primary election approaches, it’s time to bring back SFR’s classic of cold-calling your candidates with questions about the offices they seek. The rules for Pop Quiz are as follows: We record the entire conversation and report the answers verbatim. No research allowed, and if they call back later with the right answer, too bad. This week, we quizzed the Democratic candidates for county clerk, a seat for which no Republicans are running. We also called the Republicans hoping to unseat US Representative Ben Ray Luján, who is running unopposed in his Democratic primary.

GERALDINE SALAZAR, the current county clerk, is running for re-election.

1.

As far as I know, there’s no requirement for how long you have to live here. No, you just become a resident and move here and register.

2.

Okay, that’s multiple answers there. I believe, currently, there are about 75,000-plus. The only eligible voters would be those registered in a major party. And that would be if you are a Democrat or a Republican.

3.

You would have to be at least—you can be 16 and come in with a parent.

4.

The clerk does not maintain divorce records. Those records would be in the district court clerk’s office.

5.

Warranty deeds, liens, mortgages, affidavits, um, we have so many. I know all this. I’ll give you another one. Declarations. Yes, declarations. We’ll say that. Oh! I think when you’re 16, you have to bring in both parents.

THE QUESTIONS 1.

How long must individuals live in Santa Fe County before they are allowed to register to vote?

2.

How many voters are currently registered in Santa Fe County, and are they all eligible to vote in the presidential primary?

3.

How old do you have to be to get a marriage license?

4.

Where does the clerk keep divorce records?

5.

Name five types of documents the clerk is responsible for maintaining.

ANSWER KEY LETITIA MONTOYA, retired, worked at Assure Financial from 1990 to 2011.

1.

2.

Well, that depends if you’re in state. You got me on that one. I would say six months.

They’re all eligible to vote if they have somebody in their party. So, only based on if you’re a Democrat, you vote for Democrats. Republicans, you vote for Republicans. And then you wanted to know how many people are registered in the county? I would say about 37,000.

1.

Individuals may register to vote as soon as they have established residency in the county.

2.

As of March 31, the secretary of state reported 90,921 registered voters in Santa Fe County. Only those registered as a Democrat or Republican can vote in the presidential primary.

3.

Individuals must be 16 years old to get married. Each party under 18 must obtain written permission from both parents. If one parent is deceased, they must present a death certificate. If either parent refuses to grant consent, the child must obtain a district court order.

3.

If they’re under 18, they have to have consent from their parents.

4.

4.

Well, she’s the keeper of all records, so they would be recorded by her and then stored in a secure area within her office. Or in a storage area.

The clerk does not keep divorce records. They are filed with the district court.

5.

5.

US REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT 3 THE QUESTIONS 1.

What does the House Rules Committee do?

2.

What is the unemployment rate in New Mexico, and how does it compare with the rest of the country?

3.

Which nations are the United States’ top three trading partners?

4.

What was the Glass-Steagall Act?

5.

Please name the individuals who currently occupy the following roles: House Speaker, House Majority Leader, House Minority Leader, House Majority Whip and House Minority Whip

MICHAEL ROMERO is a veteran of the Air Force and law enforcement departments in Taos County and Las Vegas, Nev. 1.

2.

I don’t know exactly what they do. The only thing I can think of, and I’ve never studied that portion of it, but I feel that they manage the House and how they conduct themselves. And the procedural rules. And how they procedurally, going forward, handle bills and introduce them, etc. That’s my belief.

I believe we’re at 6.2 or something to that effect. And the country is right at 5.1. We’re probably in the top quarter. I would probably say right around 40 or 45.

3.

China, Mexico and Japan.

4.

That had to do with banking and allowing insurance companies to go into banking.

So, my insurance company, which is State Farm, has a bank. So, it loosens the banking regulations and allows them to create megabanks like Wells Fargo and etc. It just loosens the banking regulations and less regulation from the federal government.

5.

You ask a lot of questions. [Laughs]. The current Speaker of the House is, of course, I can’t think of his name. I can picture him. It used to be Boehner, and now it, I can’t remember his name. But he’s from Wisconsin, and everybody was upset with him, because at first he didn’t want his job and now they’re trying to promote him to be the nominee, but he just came out yesterday and said no to that too. I can’t remember his name! Now, the whip, I believe, attempted to be our House Speaker, and he’s out of California. What’s his name? McCarthy, I believe? The House Minority Leader is Pelosi.

I can’t remember my Republican House Leader. [Laughs.] Anyway, the Minority Leader is Pelosi. The House Minority Whip, I don’t remember his name. The House Majority Whip, I believe is McCarthy out of California. And again, I can’t remember his name.

And I’ll remember after I hang up with you. [Laughs.]

MICHAEL LUCERO is a rancher in Jemez Pueblo.

1.

I’m not sure.

2.

We are dead last in unemployment, and I’m not sure what exactly the rate is, but I know we are dead last right now.

3.

Not certain. I mean, I could look that up. That’s not hard to find. But off the top of my head, I don’t have that, no.

4.

Not sure.

5.

I don’t have the answer to any of those. Not right off the top of my head, I don’t.

ANSWER KEY 1.

The House Rules Committee determines which bills make it onto the floor for debate.

2.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, New Mexico’s unemployment rate of 6.2 percent leaves the state tied with Alabama for the 45th highest unemployment rate in the country.

3.

In order: China, Canada and Mexico.

4.

The Glass-Steagall Act, passed by Congress in 1933, prohibited commercial banks from engaging in investment activity. It was overturned in 1999.

5.

In order: Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.), Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).

CITY BILLING PROBLEMS TAKE SPOTLIGHT IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT

hen we first asked for the data for this year’s top 10 water guzzlers story, the city stalled, and then stalled some more, in fulfilling the records request. SFR typically compiles an annual report based on public utility data from Santa Fe as a way to keep the conversation about water use in the desert Southwest at the top of our minds. This year, we’re doing so with a degree of trepidation.

As thousands of city water customers know, Santa Fe’s utility billing system has long had a reputation for not work-

ing well, but this year residents reached a new level of doubt. The launch of a new metering system last year suffered more than a few hiccups. Water bills ran late or failed to appear altogether, and when they did eventually arrive, they seemed to double-bill customers, who had to read past the printed due date to see that new bills were really catching up on those missed billing cycles and weren’t due right away.

Public Utilities Director Nick Schiavo is adamant that the problem is not the meters themselves, nor is there anything wrong with the bills or with the billing process.

“It’s a good metering system,” Schiavo says. But he concedes, “I don’t think we could have done a worse job on implementation.”

Recent weeks have seen the department apparently regain some control over reliability, but water users continue to express mistrust in bills after months of frustrations with the department. Santa Feans describe astronomical leaps in their bills, usage numbers that spiked from thousands to tens of thousands of gallons, and calls and concerns that went unanswered and unaddressed for weeks.

Several people who contacted SFR with issues early this year now say their problems have been solved, and their bills drifted back toward only a little above the numbers they saw last year.

Some know Schiavo by name and say that when their calls finally reached him, they started getting information that made sense. But the fight leaves a

installed for my apartment in November, and sure enough, I can see detail right down to the tap running to refill the cats’ water bowl when the pet sitter visited while I was out of town for the holidays.

Your meter isn’t broken, and your bill isn’t wrong, Schiavo tells me—though I didn’t see a bill in January, and the bill due in March was double my usual amount. If your bill has gone up, he frequently repeats to customers, it’s likely because the reading is more accurate than it previously was. Firefly devices, which theoretically read the sweep of the meter’s hand and sent water use information by radio transmission so meter readers didn’t have to leave their trucks, often under-read the usage, and that also contributed to the spike in some residents’ bills.

For several thousand accounts, though, the problem was human error at the city’s utility department.

When new meters were put in place, the installer photographed the old meter, the new meter, and the house, matching those photos with the new serial numbers. Those numbers then had to be manually entered with the account number on file with the

can start the day by scrolling through a computergenerated list of people whose meters have been running nonstop for more than 24 hours. A conversation with this reporter is delayed in starting while he places a call to just one of those people. It’s a slow leak, 4 gallons an hour or so, but enough that the next bill could sting. The city can even pre-emptively shut off a customer’s water supply while they send someone out to investigate the leak.

The 28,000 new meters installed, Schiavo says, “are working very well, and I have not found a new meter that is working inaccurately.”

But it’s early. The Badgers are replacing Firefly devices, a decade-old system that started showing problems within four years of installation; more than half of them have since ceased to send the radiosignal readings that they were installed to produce.

And the city is already struggling to recover from a bad first impression after an error-prone rollout. To demonstrate the accuracy of their readings and the water use data they produce, Schiavo pulls up this reporter’s water consumption data. A new meter was

city in its billing system and double-checked with the photos.

“That’s where something went sideways for about 3,000 accounts,” Schiavo says. The new numbers weren’t updated in the billing system, so for those accounts, instead of having actual water use data to refer to, bills went out based on estimates, rather than actual readings.

If the city had used an Excel macro for the task, instead of a manual approach, Schiavo says he later learned, it would have taken about 6 to 10 seconds per account instead of 6 to 10 minutes. Given that slowdown, Schiavo says an employee no longer with the public utilities department decided to delay billing. The result was as many calls demanding to know where a bill was as calls on the double bills that followed, as the department attempted to right the ship.

Had he known how big the mess would grow, Schiavo says, he’d have directed more resources and more help to get those bills out on time.

“I want people’s concerns addressed today, and if not today, then tomorrow,” he says.

But it took months for him to catch on—and then, he says, “It took a tremendous amount of staff time to get caught up.”

After they identified the problem, they had all account data entered within three weeks, Schiavo says.

The department had also accrued $105,000 in staff overtime by January, about the time when he says the department began reining in the problem.

On Jan. 27, the average call time, he told city councilors on the Finance Committee, was just about six minutes, and the department was back on track, able to enter account numbers as quickly as they received them.

Top 10 COMMERCIAL (we think)

Top 10 WATER GUZZLERS? Schiavo tells SFR he’s moved two staff members from customer service to billing to help catch and keep up, but customer service call times are still well below 10 minutes. That’s down from times of around 40 minutes.

Though staff still sometimes stretches for an extra half-hour of work, Schiavo says, the overtime has largely tapered off, and he doesn’t expect to need to make an additional budget request to the city.

“It’s definitely quieted down here,” he says.

Even though the city website still warned customers at presstime that it “is behind on its billing cycles” and staff are “working aggressively to fix this issue,” Schiavo says that as of April, any bills sent out should be up-to-date.

That’s just in time for peak water consumption season to start, and the precision in use this new system offers should enable utility managers to look at use patterns by Zip code and target marketing with conservation messages.

Between May and October, the city prohibits outdoor watering between 10 am and 6 pm, and the utility department’s ongoing campaign to conserve water will kick off in coming months, as peak season for water demand approaches. These campaigns have led to reduced consumption per capita of more than 50 percent over the last two decades. Average water use comes out to 104 gallons per day, according to the 2015 Santa Fe Trends report, down from 108 in the 2014 report.

While the new Badger meters should be completely installed for residential accounts next month, commercial meters will just be getting started with the switch.

The meters installed so far successfully send in data via cell signal 99 percent of the time, says John Fillinger, director of utility marketing for Badger Meter, and that 1 percent error margin is typical—often the result of something blocking the cell signal, like a car parked over the top of a meter. As to whether other cities have suffered similar problems, he says, “Every utility is different.” Some have chosen to automate the process of inputting numbers tied to accounts, he says, but that can create errors that then need to be manually fixed—so Santa Fe’s approach of manually entering all the data isn’t off the mark. The end result, when the user portion of the data is available, holds promise for increased conservation.

“We’ve seen through independent, third-party studies that use could be cut by up to 15 percent,” Fillinger says.

When SFR finally did get the data for water users, La Fonda topped the list with what the city data indicated was a tenfold increase over their previous consumption. We wrote back to double-check that before holding hotel management’s feet to the fires of shame and over-consumption. Turns out, there had been a “discrepancy,” and actual water use for the hotel clocked in at 11.6 million gallons, about 300,000 fewer gallons than last year. The hotel dropped from first on the list to second. Based on the discovery of that flaw in the data, city staff offered to double-check all reports.

The gist of it was, the task had fallen to someone who doesn’t usually do billing, and a decimal point went astray.

We contacted La Fonda to see if they had any complaints with the city’s billing last year.

“We’ve had some anomalies with billing on and off throughout the year,” says John Rickey, general man-

Public records compiled (twice) by the city of Santa Fe show the commercial water accounts with the highest usage in the city during the calendar year 2015 and the annual amount billed to them.

1

Quail Run 12,795,600 galllons, $81,291.17

The gated eastside community at Quail Run of 265 residences returns to the list, but Mark Edwards, who controls club operations, says not to be deceived by the numbers: “The community in general divides that water up, so it looks like Quail Run the club, but it’s actually the community that’s using that water.” That’s a rate of about 135 gallons per household per day.

2

La Fonda 11,598,000 gallons, $218,843.25

Initially, the document we received from the city showed the hotel with a tenfold increase—some 115,980,000 gallons, far above fellow entrants in this category and with water consumption that jumped up from its 2014 consumption of 11,888,900. A new report compiled after we raised that question shows its actual usage decreased 300,000 gallons.

3

Rancho Carrera Apartments 10,282,600 gallons, $65,428.17

A contributor to our Overheard column wrote about the great outdoor swimming pool at this Southside complex with 208 housing units.

4

Avaria of Santa Fe 8,005,400 gallons, $66,760.65

An outgoing manager at these apartments on Calle Lorca in the St. Michael’s Drive corridor referred us to a supervisor, who did not return a call as of presstime. But he said, “I know we had an issue with the city of Santa Fe where our water bill was higher than it should have been.”

5

New Mexico Department of Transportation 3,416,000 gallons, $63,690.20

The state has taken measures to reduce use in their offices and associated landscaping at the corner of Cerrillos and Cordova roads and reports that water consumption at their complex is down some 36 percent from last year.

The city pulled multiple meters, so the numbers don’t line up. At all. The fun continues.

6

El Ice Plant 2,343,300 gallons, $14,910.45

Last year, El Ice Plant produced about 400,000 bags of ice, most of which were sold in June, July, August and September. “We’re using some water, but we’re not wasting it or nothing. It’s all for production,” says Bradley Alarid, whose father, Richard, owns the company. Told of their sixth-place position on our list, Bradley said, “That’s weird, and the reason why it’s weird—this is the 40th year in business, and we’ve never even made the top 20, to be honest with you.”

7

The Water Man 1,917,500 gallons, $12,201.05

Rick Maestas, owner of The Water Man, calls the number of gallons of water his company sells each year “quasi-confidential,” but says of the city’s numbers for his monthly consumption, “yeah, pretty much.” The process for filtering the water the company sells by 5-gallon, 3-gallon and personal-sized 8-ounce or 16.5-ounce bottles produces 1 gallon of filtered water for every 2 gallons sent through the system. The second gallon is captured and put in a holding tank, treated and used as wash water or sold to those with swimming pools to fill or walls to stucco.

8

Sena Plaza 1,198,400 gallons, $19,491.68

“If we’re 4 million less than last year’s top 10, how can we even be in the top 10? It just doesn’t make sense,” says Joaquin Sanchez, president of Southwest Asset Management, which oversees the property.

The bulk of water use goes to the restaurant, La Casa Sena, as well as to the historic garden. And though the city said they left all accounts with leaks off the list, Sanchez said they weathered one in October that saw their water use more than triple their typical rate.

9

116 W San Francisco St. 921,900 gallons, $14,730.62

This building houses the Matador and the Santa Fe Culinary Academy, among other downtown retailers, offices and restaurants, and, like La Casa Sena, it is owned by Gerald Peters.

10

Toyota of Santa Fe 862,400 gallons, $16,666.60

The meter in question connects with a Llano Street address that houses a fenced-in car lot adjacent to the Toyota dealership.

Top 10 RESIDENTIAL (we think)

Top 10 WATER GUZZLERS? ager of La Fonda. “Our billing has been a little irregular. … I’m not saying they’re wrong, but it’s not the most accurate. … I think you have to take the numbers from the city as they give them to you and hope that their meters are accurate.”

Rickey claims the hotel is doing what it can to curb water use. But as “the busiest hotel in town,” he says, and essentially the public bathrooms for the Plaza, that water use is just a cost of doing business—and bringing a chunk of gross receipts taxes to city coffers, in addition to employing 260 people.

While he didn’t have objections to the city’s billing system, Rickey did take the chance to voice some complaints with SFR’s annual trotting out of top water users.

“Your articles, I think they don’t have the context they should have,” he says. “If you take the water use into context of what’s being used and how it’s being used, the hotel industry is relatively clean.”

As in, it doesn’t contribute chemicals or other pollutants into the water supply and doesn’t produce waste. Unlike, for example, the manufacture of paper and its potential resting place in a landfill. (SFR, we’d like to note, is printed on recycled paper with soy-based ink and can be collected in the city’s curbside recycling program.) He suggested we compare water use per employee from his company to ours. So we did: 44,607 gallons per La Fonda employee, and 5,568 per SFR employee.

“We’re placed as being a bad guy because we have a sustainable, successful business, and I think that’s unfair,” he says.

On that note, this year’s top 10 list includes El Ice Plant, which produces ice for area gas stations, and The Water Man, a bottled water company. Their high usage numbers are hardly an indicator of negligent overuse.

It’s just a part of doing business. This year, there was a shakeup of the usual suspects on our list, which was likely a product of the city choosing to pull those customers with leaks from the list—what appears is just honest-to-goodness consumption.

But the reality is that the expense, and perhaps a little public scrutiny, is part of what has fueled us all to install those toilet retrofits and low-flow fixtures. The New Mexico Department of Transportation also made this year’s list, and they responded to that information with data on the department’s water use: 1.2 million gallons in fiscal year 2015, down from 1.9 million the previous year—a 36 percent reduction. This year’s use is on target to match or come in below last year’s use. Matt Kennicott, director of communications for NMDOT, points to numerous measures taken to reduce water use at their office complex, such as waterless urinals, 1.6-gallon tanks on the toilets, and aerators on water fixtures. The department is also removing the grass along Cerrillos Road to xeriscape those areas and is looking at ways to utilize effluent water. And their bills, Kennicott points out, have been running late by at least two or three months.

In May 2014, he adds, the city installed a new main water meter to capture consumption at the general office complex and the service center and materials lab.

That meter more accurately captures water consumption, he says, and that information is going to be used to identify still more ways to save water.

With long-term forecasts suggesting New Mexico will see less and less groundwater, that’s likely the outlook we all should take.

In previous years, SFR’s top residential water users list has been a parable of unattended leaks and sob stories about irrigation systems gone wrong. A driving tour of our city’s heaviest water users still cues a parade of walled gardens, with flowering trees peeking over the tops and flowerbeds filled with spring blossoms.

Top users report hundreds of thousands of gallons running through meters during the year.

We typically take this opportunity to grill these folks on just how their consumption clocked in at tenfold what most residents seem to use. But when asked for the 2015 records, the city delayed producing the data we asked for, and even then, we weren’t confident of its accuracy. The city also removed users with leaks from the running.

So we opted to leave your names out of it. You’re off the hook this year, kids. What follows is info about the houses that topped the list, how many gallons they consumed and their annual water cost. We see those swimming pools, those landscaped acres and those sprawling gardens from Google’s satellite maps and from Santa Fe County tax information. Don’t get used to it.

1

800 block of Camino del Monte Sol 479,700 gallons, $9,659.21

The resident of this 6,500-square-foot, fourbedroom home on 1.3 acres, valued at $18 million, is a repeat visitor to this list, landing in the top 10 users list in 2014 as well (but ranked eighth). The consumption the city reported for 2015 is up 40,000 gallons from that year.

2

1000 block of Old Santa Fe Trail 430,200 gallons, $8,724.68

This walled historic property includes a five-bedroom house and swimming pool.

3

400 block of Circle Drive 443,500 gallons, $8,533.79

This $20 million home has a driveway you’d have to hike up to reach the 4,100-square-foot house, with four bedrooms and another pool.

4

200 block of Camino del Norte 394,800 gallons, $7,587.09

A wall of piñóns shields the view of this 3,300-square-foot, three-bedroom house from the street.

5

200 block of Camino Encantado 329,000 gallons, $6,219.74

Coyote fencing surrounds this 4.5-acre property, with county assessor’s information pointing to an owner mailing address in Napa, Calif. The 3,800-square-foot residence has four bedrooms.

6

200 block of Camino del Norte 259,100 gallons, $4,602.46

A coyote fence and gate are visible from the dirt road in front of this 3,500-square-foot, threebedroom house, the owner for which lists a mailing address in Dallas.

7

7000 block of Old Santa Fe Trail 252,100 gallons, $4,234.53

This three-bedroom house off the south end of Old Santa Fe Trail is surrounded by a walled garden filled with trees, some of them flowering, that takes up just a portion of the 1-acre lot.

8

100 block of W Alicante Road 250,300 gallons, $4,238.54

A 1,600-square-foot home, valued at $300,000.

9

St. Elizabeth’s Shelter, 1900 block of Siringo 239,300 gallons, $1,522.08

The address in question is home to the Siringo Senior Housing Program, which provides eight low-cost apartments for people over the age of 55 who have previously been homeless.

10

500 block of E Palace Avenue 228,800 gallons, $3,267.34

The lush green lawn for this four-bedroom house, built in 1919, is visible from space.

MUSIC THEATER

Big Fun

Gag us with a spoon … we like it killer (literally) choice for the theater program at the Santa Fe University of Art & Design. “Yes, it’s dark, but it has the music, so that’s like a spoonful of sugar,” director Gail Springer says of Heathers the Musical. It’s Springer’s final show with the school after 35 years, including SFUAD’s former identity as the College of Santa Fe. “The music brings out the satirical aspects a little more strongly,” she adds.

Stylistically, the songs run the gamut from rock to chorus line and all points between. “There’s a gospelfeeling number and an R&B-style song,” says Donna Bella Litton, the 20-year-old musical theater major who plays Veronica. “The music has been challenging for a lot of us [in the cast], but—and maybe this sounds cliché—it’s going to be an amazing show, and it was fun to explore that side of high school.” Look, we’ll make this simple—see this musical.

The Syrian refugee crisis is as real as ever, and there are still people doing something about it.

People like John McKissick of Radical Abacus who, along with composer Grisha Krivchenia and soprano Tara Khozein, will host a benefit show featuring new compositions for Migrant Offshore Aid Station, a nonprofit that aids refugees. “Grisha, Tara and I are all committed to peace and justice in the Middle East for various personal and political reasons,” McKissick says. “This was a great way to use Radical Abacus to draw attention to a crisis that seems far away from us but is still so pressing.” (ADV) Refuge: A Benefit for Syrian Refugees: 7 pm Saturday, April 23. $10.

EVENTS SIX-STRING GATHERING If you ever wanted to play a guitar in a museum (without having to sneak in after hours with your no-good friends and a bottle of Night Train to play “Freebird”), you’re in luck.

The New Mexico Museum of Art has an event that allows you to come in and play a donated Fender guitar. “We’re also raffling off tickets to win a Fender Squier electric and, in addition to that, an acoustic Yamaha Jr.,” says head of Education and Visitor Experience, Rebecca Aubin. This is the last day you can strum your ax in the museum without getting hassled by security. (Ben Kendall)

JOHN CLIFT

Much of the popularity of 1988’s dark comedy cult hit Heathers is in its universally relatable themes. High school sucks (or sucked) for a lot of us, but even when the popular set was cruel or hateful or just made us sick to our stomachs, we still had that detestable little part of ourselves that wished they had thought we were cool or accepted us. Still, we never went so far as to actually kill the pretty girls. For those unfamiliar, Heathers tells the tale of Veronica Sawyer, a young misfit who finds herself absorbed by a group of popular girls known as The Heathers.

Before long, Veronica meets and falls for JD, a morally corrupt new kid who enlists her to wreak vengeance on the stereotypically awful young women.

And there’s the rub: the darkly absurd and devilishly funny aspect that reaches deep down into that awful part of us that thinks, “Yeah, Winona Ryder and Christian Slater— get ’em!” Of course, the over-the-top cliquish-ness of the Heathers in the film dramatically exaggerates reality for humor’s sake, but that’s why it’s the perfect film-to-musical adaptation from the minds that brought us Reefer Madness and Bat Boy, and a

Robert Earl Keen temporarily leaves country and Americana behind to go bluegrass on your ass

DARREN CARROLL PHOTOGRAPHY

Peachy Keen

Forever,” that were maybe lyrically not so bluegrass but mechanically, melodically, it’s not a big stretch there. Once I figured that out, I started playing a good mix between the old stuff and the new record.

That must have been fun, to rework songs you’ve played forever.

I always try to mix it up, because you know what? I get bored pretty easily.

As a guitarist, too, your style is pretty bluegrass, what with the fingerpicking and alternating bass notes and such, right? Am I crazy?

I really started playing the guitar late, during my first year in college. I’d dragged a guitar to school and would strum chords, but one of the first people I met was a contest fiddle player, and he was teaching me how to play guitar behind him. There are a hundred well-known fiddle tunes that people play at these contests, and he kept pulling them out. I really learned how to play the guitar playing behind somebody doing fiddle tunes. I like fingerpicking. It’s really what I do usually, when I’m writing songs. I maybe don’t do it as well as I used to, but I’m very locked into the alternating bass thing. I never got the idea of strumming these big old open chords or suspended chords without hitting that bass note to set it off.

BY ALEX DE VORE @teamalex

I

’ve got good news and bad news, bluegrass fans, so brace yourselves. The bad news is that the big ol’ annual bluegrass festival that usually goes down at the Rodeo Grounds is kaput because, as it turns out, the whole thing was way too expensive, and not enough of you supported it. Bummer.

Dry your eyes, though, because salvation comes in the form of celebrated Texas singer-songwriter Robert Earl Keen. Woah, wait a minute, man, you may be thinking. I know that dude, and he’s really more of an Americana/country guy. To which I’d say, “Don’t you get tired of being wrong all the time?” For you see, Keen has expanded his repertoire into the realm of straight bluegrass with his 2015 release, Happy Prisoner: The Bluegrass Sessions, so I called him up to chat.

What made you want to release a bluegrass record specifically now?

I really wasn’t trying to surprise anybody, I just felt compelled. I had thought about it for a long time, had a couple of false starts. I didn’t have a record label or money or any clear idea of what I wanted to do, and it occurred to me that I’ve gotta do this bluegrass record, and it was the time to do it or I’d put it aside, like I already had for years, so I seized the opportunity and grabbed some friends.

SFR: Hey man, what’re you up to? Are you on the road or in the studio?

Keen: Oh, a little bit of both. Yesterday I was in the studio, and tomorrow I’ll hit the road.

Does that mean you’re working on something new and exciting for us?

Well, you always hope it’s new and exciting, but I guess that’s in the ear of the beholder. I was recording a song for this guy in California who is doing a tribute album of Steve Forbert songs.

Cool! So do you have your own crazy home studio?

I never was a gear head, though sometimes I regret it.

In some ways, a lot of the studio stuff runs the business, but I’ve always been very analog in my approach.

I wanted to focus on the format and content of the songs and leave recording to the pros.

HeathSUN Concert Series

Every girl’s crazy ‘bout a sharp dressed man.

Song-wise, you’re more known for Americana or country, whereas Happy Prisoner is, for lack of a better term, bluegrass standards. How have people responded to that?

There were a few times early on when people who didn’t hear the record just sort of stood there staring, but I pushed through it. As time went on, I started to retool the band and retool some of my other songs to be more like straight bluegrass. I include some of the songs I’m better known for, like “The Road Goes on

THE CALENDAR (scratching this off your kidney dish list!), meet up with your VB in public first, and let someone know where you are and who you’re with on the big night.

I’ve been aware of my emetophilia since a very young age and have always kept it private. No need to tell me about the health risks, I’m aware, and I’ve only ever indulged this kink through videos online. The actual substance doesn’t turn me on—I have no desire to be puked on. For me, the fantasy involves being with someone as they begin to feel sick, and then taking care of them as they puke. It has something to do with the buildup and release. Who knows? I’m married, and I told my husband about my kink exactly once, a few years ago. He wasn’t judgmental, but he never brought it up again. We have a great sex life otherwise, and I’ve always assumed I’d have satisfying, normal sex with my husband and masturbate to this kink in private. But recently, on a whim, I posted a message on a kink site. A few weeks later, a guy reached out to say the description exactly mirrored his own kink. We’ve been texting for a few weeks. He makes me feel like less of a freak, it’s been super hot, and we’ve talked about meeting up and role-playing for each other. It makes me go crazy just to think about this. In light of the health risks—and the fact that I’m married—this would be a one-time thing. Do I have to tell my husband? I don’t want to have sex with this person; I just want to live out my fantasy for one night, which doesn’t necessarily involve getting naked.

But obviously we will both get off, so there’s a definite sexual element. My husband and I have had threesomes, so he’s not a “strictly monogamous” guy, but it is new for me to strike out on my own. But more than that, I’m mortified at the thought of him knowing about the kind of night I’m having, asking me about it later, etc. I would just rather him not know. But is that cheating?

-A Lady Emetophile Meets Her Match The answer to your last question—is that cheating?—is obvious. If that wasn’t cheating, ALEMHM, or if you thought your husband wouldn’t regard it as cheating, you would be asking him for permission to meet up with your vomit buddy. So let’s just run with the assumption that getting together with your VB would constitute infidelity, if the low-grade, nonpenetrative, not-for-everyone kind.

So do you have to tell your husband? You could tell your husband—and lots of people will insist you must tell your husband—but I’m sitting here, in this Starbucks on Lex and 78th, wondering if your husband would rather not be told.

You shared your kink with your husband once, and he never brought it up again. We can reasonably assume that your husband isn’t interested in discussing, much less indulging, this very particular sexual interest of yours.

Another reasonable assumption: Your kink may not be something your husband wants to think about. The awareness of your kink, to use Emily “Dear Prudence Emeritus” Yoffe’s phrase, could be a libido killer for him. If your husband worked at stuffing your disclosure down the memory hole, because it interferes with his ability to connect with you sexually, asking permission to spend an evening with your VB could come as an unwelcome reminder.

So you could make—as I’ve just made—an argument for sparing your husband the reminder, and sparing yourself the discomfort, by not telling and/or asking him, and then discreetly meeting up with your VB just this once.

(The counterargument is also easily made: He never brought it up again because he picked up on your shame, he didn’t want to distress you, etc.) But if you decide to meet your VB, ALEMHM, weigh the risks (what happens if you get caught?) against the rewards

APRIL 20-26, 2016

•

I find myself in the most boring of straight white girl pickles: My boyfriend is dragging his feet on proposing. I’m 29, and he’s 31.

We’ve been dating for three years. Things are great. We talk about our future a lot—buying a house, vacations, blah blah blah. Lack of proposal aside, we’re solid. But I would hate to waste another year in this city for this guy when I could have been working toward tenure somewhere else. (I’m in academia.)

I’ve tried bringing this up to him several times with no concrete results.

-Really Into Not Going Solo Propose to him, RINGS. Don’t informally propose a formal proposal—don’t ask him to ask you to marry him—but go get a ring (for him) and ask him to marry you (for fuck’s sake). You have the power to pop the question and call it at the same time. Good luck, I hope he says yes.

I met a man two and a half years ago on Tinder. Our relationship was built on lies from the start. I lied to him about having a child so I could put a wedge between us. I came clean after we slept together a few times—the most mind-blowing sex I’ve ever had—because I was afraid he might want to meet my madeup child. I caught feelings. But Tinder man is married and lives in France. I see him only three times a year. Fast-forward to now. He pursues other people. Women throw themselves at him. We were at the mall, and he picked up a girl while I was getting my hair done. He’s not my boyfriend. He hurts me.

I am terrified of losing him. Here comes the tricky part: My doctor found a tumor on my lymph nodes. I go in for tests on Friday. I’m ready to pick out my coffin at this point. I contacted my lover’s ex-wife and asked why they divorced, and she said because he cheated all the time. I know what he’s capable of. I don’t want to change him. I love him. I go insane when we don’t talk. He told me he doesn’t respect me any more than he respects his current wife. I’m so scared.

-Help Me Please Um… you won’t find the help you need wedged between escort ads at the back of a weekly newspaper, HMP, or on a website underneath pop-up ads for vaporizers. You need a therapist, someone who can help you work through legitimate-but-possibly-premature fears for your health (let’s wait for those test results to come back before we pick out your coffin, okay?) and your emotional dependence on a man who isn’t your boyfriend, isn’t your husband, isn’t around much, and has told you he doesn’t respect you. He’s not the kind of guy who’s going to come through for you during a health crisis—that guy couldn’t come through for you during a haircut.

Don’t get me wrong: I sleep with men, I understand the sexual appeal of a man who treats you like shit, I’m a huge Peggy Lee fan (youtube.com/watch?v=QBsEH9q63Uk). But you can’t depend on a guy like that at a time like this. If it turns out you’re seriously ill, HMP, you need to lean on family and friends, join a support group, buy one of those vaporizers, and concentrate on getting healthy. And take comfort: If/when your health is restored, there are plenty of shitty, selfish, sadistic guys on the planet who’ll treat you badly, cheat on you flagrantly, and—not coincidentally—get you off spectacularly.

I’m sorry you may be ill, HMP, and I’m sorry you’re scared. Best wishes for a speedy physical, emotional, and sexual recovery.

What better way to spend the day after Earth Day than learning about and loving on bees in the Santa Fe Railyard Park? Linda Schafer, director of the Railyard Stewards, says she’s fallen in love with native bees lately, and she wants you to, too. Join the stewards at 10 am Saturday on the Railyard Performance Green. (Julie Ann Grimm) What should people expect if they show up?

We’ve installed the first large-scale native bee house in the Railyard Park. It’s the first one in the city, and it could be the first one in the state. The workshop is going to be led by Olivia Carril, and she is going to talk about native bees and their habitat loss and how community members can help increase habitat, like the Railyard Stewards have through the bee house, and we are going to install nesting materials in the bee house. … It’s large scale, so it’s 6 feet by 5 feet by 2 feet. The idea is to see how many different species will approach it and nest in it. So it is kind of science station, too.

Why did you decide to take up the cause of the bees?

We had done a native pollinator workshop last year and the year before that, and after reading about bees, most people know about honeybee colony collapse, and honeybee decline is more part of public awareness.

They have done a boatload of academic research on it, and less attention has been paid and resources directed to the endangerment of native bees. And pollinators are absolutely critical to our ecological health.

Do you worry about bee stings?

Native bees are solitary bees, and we are going to have a big interpretive sign on the bee box to talk about native bees and have big pictures of what you can see in the park. They don’t make honey. They don’t live in hives.

They live in hollow sticks or twigs or plant material, which is why for the nesting material, kids at Sweeney and at Santa Fe Girls School made paper tubes, and we are going to put them into empty coffee and oatmeal containers. They don’t have a queen to protect and defend. If you step on one or you pick it up and squeeze it, it might sting, but they are not as aggressive as honeybees.

Matzo Fast It’s Passover, so you should probably spend two days making chicken soup

DAVID JACOBY’S CHICKEN MATZO BALL SOUP (serves 8-12)`

Chicken Stock

(makes about 2 quarts)

Make the stock two days before you plan to serve the soup. Jacoby uses fatty chicken parts so he can collect the fat (schmaltz) that hardens on top of the stock when it cools.

4 pounds chicken backs, necks and/or wings 3 quarts cold water

BY GWYNETH DOLAND @ Th e Fo r k S a n t a Fe

2 carrots, roughly chopped

f your religion is food, then you should be thinking about how you can work chicken matzo ball soup into your schedule this week.

You can order a cup or bowl of this soulsoothing soup every Friday and Saturday at Back Street Bistro (513 Camino de los Marquez, 9823500)—or any day during Passover (April 22-30).

Back Street owner David Jacoby doesn’t really do Passover at home. “I come from a mixed marriage,” he says, “plus, I have my own religion now: hard work and rock and roll!”

I talked to Jacoby about how he makes the soup at the restaurant and how he would make it at home.

What we came up with here is a hybrid technique. Are there easier ways to make matzo ball soup? Sure. Are there better ways? Probably not.

1 onion, roughly chopped 3 sprigs fresh thyme 3 sprigs fresh parsley 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper Add all of the ingredients to a large stockpot and cover with cold water (it should cover the chicken by at least 1 inch). Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to the lowest simmer and gently cook overnight, about 16 hours. Remove and discard the solids, then strain the warm stock through a sieve lined with cheesecloth.

Pour it into a clean container big enough to hold it, and refrigerate it until cold. When it’s cold, the fat will have risen to the top. Scrape it off with a spoon into a covered container.

BEN KENDALL

I

3 celery stalks, roughly chopped

Matzo Balls (makes 16-18 golf ball-sized matzo balls) The key here is using a gentle hand. Do not squash, smoosh or otherwise manhandle the dough. Plan to chill the dough for an hour, then form the balls and chill them for another hour.

4 eggs ¼ cup melted schmaltz (chilled chicken fat) 1 cup matzo meal, preferably Streit’s 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ¼ cup warm chicken broth salt and pepper to taste In a large bowl, combine the eggs and melted schmaltz, gently mixing together with a rubber spatula. Stir in the matzo meal, parsley and nutmeg. Then add the chicken broth and stir just until it comes together into a dough. Don’t mix any more than absolutely necessary.

Chill the mixture 1 hour. Roll the dough into 16-18 spheres a little smaller than a golf ball. Set them on a cookie sheet and chill for one hour. (You can make the balls bigger or smaller—you’ll just have to cook them longer or shorter.)

Assembling the Soup (serves 8-10)

Depending on how much chicken and how many matzo balls you put in each bowl, this soup can be a filling lunch or a light first course.

3 pounds skinless chicken breasts and thighs chicken stock chilled matzo balls 1 (12-ounce) package medium-wide egg noodles 1 onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces 3 stalks celery, chopped into 1-inch pieces 3 carrots, chopped into 1-inch pieces Add the chicken breasts and thighs to a pot and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer 45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove it from the heat and let it cool in the water until the next day.

An hour before you’re ready to serve, remove the chicken parts from the water. Bring the chicken cooking water back to a boil and add the matzo balls to the water. Gently simmer 45 minutes. When the chicken is just cool enough to handle, shred it into bite-sized pieces.

About 30 minutes before you’re ready to serve, season the chicken stock to taste with salt and bring it to a simmer. Add the onion, celery and carrots, and cook about 10 minutes. Add the egg noodles and cook about 8 minutes. Add the shredded chicken and cook 3 minutes or just until heated through. Add two matzo balls to each bowl and surround with equal portions of chicken and vegetables. Pour hot stock over it all and serve.

If chicken noodle soup and matzo had a fight in an alley, our money would be on the matzo. It’s got “matzxy.” Get it?

Jambo Café

A

frican-Caribbean fusion Jambo Café has a sort of locals-only appeal, with casual décor, the highlights of which are the gauze shade icicle lights that hang from the ceiling. Tasty options abound on this menu— like the salmon salad ($12.95), which puts grilled salmon on a bed of baby greens and capers drizzled in semi-sweet mango vinaigrette, and the veggie sandwich of artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers and chickpeas ($8.95), all of which comes tumbling out of a fluffy pita. It took a few tries to land on the coconut curry ($12.95), which comes with chicken or tofu, and layers a tomato and coconut milk base with just enough spice to reign supreme over the sweetness of the coconut milk. Finish with a warm slice of pecan pie ($5.95), infused with Jamaican rum, an impossibly buttery filling topped with toasted pecans, and served with vanilla ice cream.

Welcome to the Jungle Kipling isn’t rolling in his grave … yet by alex de vore @teamalex

One could easily make the argument that Jon Favreau’s (Iron Man) new liveaction 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 mancub 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 wolfbros, 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 wa-

SCORE CARD

ter 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. Turns out homeboy got burnt real bad by a man some time ago, and he tells everyone that unless they hand Mowgli over once the rain returns, he’ll kill them all. Yikes. So Bagheera tells Mowgli he needs to go back to live with his own kind, and then all kinds of adventures go down.

Still with me? Good. So like I said, Mowgli adventures like crazy and gets wrapped up in all kinds of wacky situations with cute animals and scary animals and cutesy animals and so on.

The voice acting is generally top-notch, with performances from Bill Murray, who brings his very best Bill Murray impression to the table as Baloo the Bear, a mildly enjoyable updated version of Louis Prima’s “Wanna Be Like You” musical number courtesy of Christopher Walken as King Louie, and any number of bit parts here and there. Scarlett Johansson sure stinks it up as the anaconda Kaa, who exists only to provide exposition in the form of a snake-like hypnotizing, but her ap-

pearance is thankfully so brief that it doesn’t much matter, and we’re soon back to more enjoyable events like a death-defying cliffside quest for honey or Shere Khan spooking everyone out miserably.

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 (shout out to the parents behind me in the theater, who totally let their young kid walk around through the whole thing and kick the back of my seat for a good five minutes), you could do a lot worse than this. Just don’t expect much more than a capably told story with lots of flashy computer animation.

CITY OF GOLD “rotund, aging, urbane—and altogether a human being”

meh

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE “a pastiche of disparate scripts slapped together”

yay!

EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT “it was a lawless time, rife with abuses and atrocities of nearly every flavor”

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 music and popular culture.

Somehow, it hasn’t happened until now, with Don Cheadle’s feature film directorial debut, Miles Ahead.

Cheadle takes the lead in front of the camera as well, playing Davis during his post-post-modern era in the late ‘70s, with wild hair and an even wilder drugaddicted 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— being an African-American somewhat involved with a criminal underworld due to his habits during the high era of the civil rights movement and its immediate aftermath.

The story alternates back and forth between his experiences in the 1950s and meeting his wife Frances (a powerhouse performance by Emayatzy Corinealdi), and the ‘70s coked-up and in-a-rut version of Davis. The editing helps to communicate the fractured point-of-view of Davis’ character, with seamless transitions throughout the narrative. You can respect the artistic decisions behind every shot and cut.

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.

THE BOSS Oh boy, here comes The Boss, yet another pointless outing in a long line of movies wherein Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) says a bunch of awkward things, acts like a childish asshole to everyone and falls down all the time. But guess what? It’s getting old, man. McCarthy plays Michelle Darnell, a gazillionaire businesswoman who struck it rich through … huh. Hmmm.

Y’know, they actually never really say how she made her fortune, outside of “business.” Anyway, since we’re shown that her childhood fully sucked in an opening montage that finds her repeatedly returned to a Catholic orphanage, I guess we’re supposed to feel bad for her (or at least try understand why she is so self-centered).

The thing is, though, we just don’t. This is why we don’t much care when she is imprisoned for insider trading, or when she is released and realizes the only person she can turn to is her former assistant Claire, played to epically wooden proportions by Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell, who she mistreated.

Of course, we all know a movie needs a third act (even when we wish it didn’t), so Michelle does the shitty things we knew she’d do, which kind of creates conflict and ultimately produces redemption, only who the hell cares at this point? The audience is CONTINUED ON PAGE 41

ok It just may make you “Kind of Blue,” in Miles Ahead. left to wonder why they bothered to even show up for this thing, other than they heard the new Batman movie sucked. Game of Thrones’ Peter Dinklage does turn in an absurdly enjoyable performance as the Japan-obsessed villain, Renault, and The Boss scores points for giving Bell a pudgy, bearded love interest (though liking that might just be my own weirdness). But you definitely have to wonder if McCarthy is ever going to try anything different or if America will continue to abide by her one-trick-pony acting style. Wait to rent this. Actually, don’t even do that. Forget this exists entirely. (ADV) Violet Crown, Regal R, 99 min.

CITY OF GOLD Los Angeles is home to about 20 million people.

Its greater metropolitan area stretches in all directions for around 500 square miles. When people think of Los Angeles, they think of horrible traffic, gangster rap, urban sprawl, Hollywood, Disneyland and maybe the beach. But what they might not think about is the full range of gastronomical options that are available to the average foodie. City of Gold shows us that LA is one hell of a place for food, and nobody else can take us on that journey so well as food critic Jonathan Gold.

Written and directed by Laura Gabbert, the filmmaking style tends to be remarkably raw at times, with a verite feel of mildly shaky handheld camera (obviously shot on pro-sumer level cameras, with only a few interviews shot on a more technically impressive camcorder), and some shots are soft or poorly framed. That’s hardly noticeable unless you’re a filmmaker yourself, and it really doesn’t matter anyway.

Gold, an LA native, has been doing some form of journalism or another since 1982 and has a preternatural talent to find the tiny hole-in-thewall eateries that have been the mainstay of his career. In every segment, we’re given entree into the life of a so-called celebrity food reviewer, but if you had only a passing familiarity with his writing, the persona of the man himself is somewhat different from what you might expect—rotund, aging, urbane—and altogether a human being.

We’re frequently shown how he frustrates himself and his editors by having the “attention span of a gnat,” with columns coming in late or otherwise exasperating his bosses; it’s a breath of fresh air to watch somebody so successful in his field fall prey to the same pitfalls that plague all journalists at one time or another. This isn’t schadenfreude, but a feeling more akin to commiseration, regardless of your profession.

In a sea of people and asphalt, there’s a laser-like focus on the immigrants and restaurateurs who make up the culinary scene in LA. There’s real heart and soul behind every morsel they create, and it is through this medium that we can touch just a small portion of who they are as people.

And yet, through this connection, we get the sense of what it is to live in such a large city and the very real and ironic personal isolation of being one drop in a vast ocean of people.

“In this neighborhood, most of us are just passing through, transients on our way to more permanent homes, in Long Beach or Huntington Park,” Gold says. “We are all citizens of the world. We are all strangers together. The landlords keep to themselves. And so do I. I often wish that they’d invite me over to dinner.” (BK) CCA, Violet Crown, R, 96 min.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is a poorly constructed pastiche of disparate scripts slapped together with the thinnest of pretense and has more guest stars than an episode of The Simpsons. And it was bad. There, we said it.

What at first seemed like an ill-advised expedition into film mistakes that held the distant possibility of an improbable success has revealed itself to be what everyone thought it would end up to be. This film is like your screw-up cousin who decided to go to college and everybody was really hoping he’d pull his shit together after that (commuted) arson charge, but then drops out of college before the end of the first month and is now awaiting trial for an unrelated crime.

And for some reason, despite all the “I don’t like Ben Affleck” hoo-haa that was the main complaint from fans, the performances are not the issue (aside from Jesse Eisenberg’s Lex Luthor).

Zack Snyder and the writers seem to have little understanding about the characters, how they would act or how they’re interrelated, and the evidence behind this is the God-awful, “throw a few major DC Comics universe events at the page and hope that something sticks” method.

Overall, this movie is a bunch of missed opportunities wrapped in desperation, driven by a studio that by all indications has no idea what it’s doing with these franchises in the context of motion pictures. It’s evident that they wanted to catch Marvel and begin to have a competitive chance at deposing them from their superheromovie throne. That’s not going to happen in the foreseeable future. You see, they forgot to add CONTINUED ON PAGE 43

barf Evidently, you’re in the wrong neighborhood, in The Boss. the elements that made the Marvel movies so successful: heart and story. (BK) Violet Crown, Regal, PG-13, 151 min.

EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT

The bloody history of rubber exploitation and colonization in the Amazon is brought into stark relief in writer/director Ciro Guerra’s new film, Embrace of the Serpent. During this era, the rubber boom was in full effect and (with modern eyes) a large-scale humanitarian and ecological disaster. Western Europe spared no perversion in stripping the land of rubber, gold and other resources. Period explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett (who would disappear with his son and his friend in the Amazon in 1925) referred to the South and Central American jungle as “a green hell.” It was a lawless time, rife with abuses and atrocities of nearly every flavor; man was just as dangerous as the suffocating canopy.

The plot has a nonlinear focus, moving between a time near 1907 and an undefined point in the future (somewhere around WWII), through the experiences of two explorers who seek cures to their respective ailments. One is terminally ill, and the other cannot dream; juxtaposed against the younger Karamakate’s anger at his tribe’s destruction by Europeans and the elder Karamakate’s inability to remember his cultural identity, the primary character’s motivations mirror each other.

Embrace of the Serpent proceeds at a sedentary pace. But even the timing serves the theme of the narrative, as it slowly cooks the story in such a way that you almost feel yourself lost in it, in a sense, becoming your own chullachaqui.

Yet this film does not disappoint. Serpent has collected a bunch of accolades from all over the world, including Sundance and Cannes, and there’s a good reason for that. (BK) CCA, Unrated, 125 min.

MIND BODY SPIRIT

Rob Brezsny

Week of April 20th

ARIES (March 21-April 19) “The writer should never be ashamed of staring,” said Aries writer Flannery O’Connor. “There is nothing that does not require his attention.” This is also true for all of you Aries folks, not just the writers among you. And the coming weeks will be an especially important time for you to cultivate a piercing gaze that sees deeply and shrewdly. You will thrive to the degree that you notice details you might normally miss or regard as unimportant. What you believe and what you think won’t be as important as what you perceive. Trust your eyes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) In many cultures, the butterfly is a symbol of transformation and rebirth. In its original state as a caterpillar, it is homely and slowmoving. After its resurrection time in the chrysalis, it becomes a lithe and lovely creature capable of flight.

The mythic meaning of the moth is quite different, however. Enchanted by the flame, it’s driven so strongly toward the light that it risks burning its wings. So it’s a symbol of intense longing that may go too far. In the coming weeks, Libra, your life could turn either way.

You may even vacillate between being moth-like and butterfly-like. For best results, set an intention. What exactly do you want?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) The ancient Greek geographer Pausanias told a story about how the famous poet Pindar got his start. One summer day, young Pindar decided to walk from his home in Thebes to a city 20 miles away. During his trek, he got tired and lay down to take a nap by the side of the road. As he slept, bees swarmed around him and coated his lips with wax. He didn’t wake up until one of the bees stung him. For anyone else, this might have been a bother. But Pindar took it as an omen that he should become a lyric poet, a composer of honeyed verses. And that’s exactly what he did in the ensuing years. I foresee you having an experience comparable to Pindar’s sometime soon, Taurus.

How you interpret it will be crucial.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “I gladly abandon dreary tasks, rational scruples, reactive undertakings imposed by the world,” wrote Scorpio philosopher Roland Barthes. Why did he do this? For the sake of love, he said—even though he knew it might cause him to act like a lunatic as it freed up tremendous energy. Would you consider pursuing a course like that in the coming weeks, Scorpio? In my astrological opinion, you have earned some time off from the grind. You need a break from the numbing procession of the usual daily rhythms. Is there any captivating person, animal, adventure, or idea that might so thoroughly incite your imagination that you’d be open to acting like a lunatic GEMINI (May 21-June 20) “I measure the strength of a lover with boundless vigor? spirit by how much truth it can take,” said philosopher SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “Difficulties illuminate Friedrich Nietzsche. Measured by that standard, your existence,” says novelist Tom Robbins, “but they must strength of spirit has been growing—and may be be fresh and of high quality.” Your assignment, poised to reach an all-time high. In my estimation, you Sagittarius, is to go out in search of the freshest and now have an unusually expansive capacity to hold sur- highest-quality difficulties you can track down. You’re slipping into a magical phase of your astrological cycle prising, effervescent, catalytic truths. Do you dare when you will have exceptional skill at rounding up useinvite all these insights and revelations to come pouring toward you? I hope so. I’ll be cheering you on, pray- ful dilemmas and exciting riddles. Please take full advantage! Welcome this rich opportunity to outgrow and ing for you to be brave enough to ask for as much as escape boring old problems. you can possibly accommodate.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Göbekli Tepe was a monumental religious sanctuary built 11,600 years ago in the place we now call Turkey. Modern archaeologists are confounded by the skill and artistry with which its massive stone pillars were arranged and carved. According to conventional wisdom, humans of that era were primitive nomads who hunted animals and foraged for plants.

So it’s hard to understand how they could have constructed such an impressive structure 7,000 years before the Great Pyramid of Giza. Writing in National Geographic, science journalist Charles C. Mann said, “Discovering that hunter-gatherers had constructed Göbekli Tepe was like finding that someone had built a 747 in a basement with an X-Acto knife.” In that spirit, Cancerian, I make the following prediction: In the coming months, you can accomplish a marvel that may have seemed beyond your capacity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) “When I grow up, I want to be a little boy,” wrote novelist Joseph Heller in his book Something Happened. You have cosmic permission to make a comparable declaration in the coming days. In fact, you have a poetic license and a spiritual mandate to utter battle cries like that as often as the mood strikes. Feel free to embellish and improvise, as well: “When I grow up, I want to be a riot girl with a big brash attitude,” for example, or “When I grow up, I want to be a beautiful playful monster with lots of toys and fascinating friends who constantly amaze me.”

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) In one of his diaries, author Franz Kafka made this declaration: “Life’s splendor forever lies in wait around each one of us in all of its fullness—but veiled from view, deep down, invisible, far off. It is there, though, not hostile, not reluctant, not deaf. If you summon it by the right word, by its right name, it will come.” I’m bringing this promise to your LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) In myths and folklore, the attention, Aquarius, because you have more power than ember is a symbol of coiled-up power. The fire within it usual to call forth a command performance of life’s hidis controlled. It provides warmth and glow even as its den splendor. You can coax it to the surface and bid it to raw force is contained. There are no unruly flames. spill over into your daily rhythm. For best results, be How much energy is stored within? It’s a reservoir of magnificent as you invoke the magnificence. untapped light, a promise of verve and radiance. Now PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) I’ve got a controversial mesplease ruminate further about the ember, Leo. sage for you, Pisces. If you’re addicted to your problems According to my reading of the astrological omens, it’s or if you’re convinced that cynicism is a supreme mark your core motif right now. of intelligence, what I’ll say may be offensive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Uh-oh. Or maybe I should instead say “Hooray!” You are slipping into the Raw Hearty Vivid Untamed Phase of your astrological cycle.

The universe is nudging you in the direction of high adventure, sweet intensity, and rigorous stimulation. If you choose to resist the nudges, odds are that you’ll have more of an “uh-oh” experience. If you decide to play along, “hooray!” is the likely outcome. To help you get in the proper mood, make the following declaration: “I like to think that my bones are made from oak, my blood from a waterfall, and my heart from wild daisies.”

(That’s a quote from the poet McKenzie Stauffer.)

Nevertheless, it’s my duty as your oracle to inform you of the cosmic tendencies, and so I will proceed. For the sake of your mental health and the future of your relationship with love, consider the possibility that the following counsel from French author André Gide is just what you need to hear right now: “Know that joy is rarer, more difficult, and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation.”
