Charting a New Course RoundhouseCharter schools offer students and parents a welcome alternative to traditional public schools, and Amy Biehl High School, newly relocated to downtown Albuquerque, is a shining example of that alternative. As Christie Chisholm reports, the school is actively proving that charter schools can make the grade. Confused about the whirlwind 30-day Legislative Session that ended last Thursday? We were too, but now we're confused no more! We've deciphered the legal speak and waded through piles of information to compose a brief summary of key bills. Hopefully, it should clear things up. Spotlight: Mystery School CD Release Party Simon McCormack wrote an article about the Mystery School CD release party. What does it say? Solve that mystery on page 38.
Lube up your pans because Feb. 28 is Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day. It's a time when Catholics, less inclined towards booze and more inclined toward carbs, prepare for 40 days of no milk or eggs. To butter you up for your trip to the store, we've tested different flapjack mixes you can find around town.
The Pajama Men don't love Albuquerque anymore because they're leaving it for the bigger, brighter (or actually grayer and colder) Second City. Oh, no. But don't cry, Albuquerque.

Add a Comment The Daily Word in shady dentistry, bear bile and riding a Ferris wheel for way too long New Mexico's at the top of the list! Of worst droughts in the country! And pumping water out of the ground just isn't working like it used to. "El Dentista," an unlicensed dentist in Santa Fe who performed his "services" out of a van, left a trail of mouth infections and unnecessarily removed teeth in his wake. The New Mexico Department of Health is offering free counseling, blood testing and referrals to his victims. But remember, it could be worse. Developers in Oklahoma are resistant to the idea of including tornado shelters in their homes because it costs too much money. Sad trombone. Clinton Shepherd of Chicago just finished riding a Ferris wheel for two days straight. "I was thrilled and honored to be able to have all the love and support I did," Shepherd said. And it turns out that increasing demand for bear bile (used in a nonsense "home-remedy") is really bad for bears.
