OCTOBER 15-21 , 2015 WEEKLY ALIBI [5] NEWS CITY NEWS | COUNCIL WATCH BY AUGUST MARCH Conservation Fund Expires Four fifths of New Mexico’s congressional delegation, including Albuquerque’s Michelle Lujan Grisham (D), favor continued funding of Got Voters? the Federal Land and Conservation Fund. This program insures efforts to acquire and protect land and water resources within privately held Election results and more land near federally protected areas. The fund has been in place for 50 years but was allowed to expire at the end of September. It gets its money from royalties paid by energy companies extracting resources from publicly owned areas of the Outer Continental Shelf of North America. While democrats such as Grisham and Representative Ben Ray Luján (D) of District 3 point to the program’s relevance—Luján told the Albuquerque Journal the fund “has helped protect New Mexico’s precious land and water resources that are a part of our heritage”— majority republicans feel otherwise. Congressman Steve Pearce (R) has aligned himself with the chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, Rob Bishop (R-Utah) in calling for massive revisions to the fund’s purpose and funding sources. NM Senator Martin Heinrich (D) recently introduced legislation to restore funding to the program, while NM Senator Udall (D) recently spoke out about the fund’s positive impact on our state’s economy.

The Café Caribe Assyrians called it safsouf. My mother made it a certain way, my grandmother made it another way. I could taste a safsouf blindfolded and I could tell you which aunt made it.” Risho’s parents were born in Damascus, Syria, after his grandparents fled persecution in Turkey. His family are Assyrians, northern Semites who were members of the Assyrian Orthodox Church. “Every tribe in every clan and every family has their own cuisine,” Risho told me. So far, 1,500 Syrians have come to the US since the Syrian civil war began, but the US plans to increase the number of Syrian refugees allowed in the country to 10,000 in the next fiscal year. To assist those who wish to prepare for the coming diaspora, perhaps by cooking a welcome dish for their incoming Syrian neighbors or learning a bit about the culture and eat some good food, I reached out to Risho. His forthcoming book, Ray Risho’s Ports of Call , will include a large section on Syrian cuisine. According to Risho, the Assad regime hardly represents the Syrian population’s first brush with dictatorship or inequity. “The royal household and the elites, they basically ate well,” Risho said, of Syria’s culinary history. “But most of the other levels of society didn’t eat any meat at all, because they couldn’t afford it.
