City: Neuter your pets to help ‘epidemic’ by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu
New Mexico’s animal shelters launched a spay-and-neuter initiative Tuesday to help combat animal overpopulation and euthanasia. Every day, 66 pets enter New Mexico shelters, Public Safety Director Darren White said during the Spay Day event at Albuquerque’s Eastside Shelter. He said that more than 24,000 pets entered shelters last year, and since the facilities have only so much space to house animals, thousands of New Mexico pets are euthanized every year. “Most of these pets would not be in our shelters today, nor would they have to die if owners had spayed or neutered the pets in their care,” White said. Nearly 11,000 New Mexico pets were put down in 2009, according to a news release from Animal Humane spokeswoman Lindsay Lancaster. Euthanizations in Albuquerque dropped 37 percent since 2006, Lancaster wrote, but it is still hovers around 10,000 per year. As part of the spay-and-neuter initiative, the Animal Humane launched SpayNM.org, a website designed to make neuter information available to state residents, especially low-income residents. Program Manager Kim Snitker said providing low-cost neuter services reduce pet euthanizations. “The website is the first phase in combating New Mexico’s pet overpopulation epidemic,” she said. “Getting all that information together in one place is the first step.” Snitker said the website has a “Find a Clinic” page that allows users to type in a New Mexico county and locate nearby clinics that offer low-cost spay/ neuter services. It also provides information about spaying and neutering. Cat owners can bring their cats to the Eastside Animal Shelter for free spaying/neutering on two days in

Two Albuquerque animal welfare organizations teamed up to offer New Mexico’s pet owners more information and resources regarding spaying and neutering pets. March. The shelter will neuter 50 cats each day on a first-come, first-serve basis. The shelter will announce specific dates and times on the Albuquerque City website within the next few weeks. “With the cat breeding season heating up, we felt this would not only impact the cat population in Albuquerque, but also make more people aware of the need for spaying and neutering,” Director of Albuquerque Animal Welfare Barbara Bruin said.
Visit SpayNM.org for more information on spaying/neutering pets.
Snitker said pet owners are often misinformed about spaying and neutering. “I think a big reason why people don’t get their pets fixed is because there are so many myths out there,” she said. “People say, ‘My dog won’t protect my family if we get him fixed.’ If your dog protects your family now, he will still protect your family after getting fixed. That’s just not based in real science.” Bruin said the city will host the
Mayor and First Lady’s Dog Ball on Feb. 26, with event proceeds benefiting the Albuquerque Kennel Kompadres. Proceeds will offset the cost of spay-and-neuter surgeries performed at city shelters. White said it’s painful to work and visit shelters when animals are euthanized. “It hurts me to come to the shelter,” he said. “It breaks my heart because I know, unfortunately, some of these animals won’t be here next week.”
Governor appoints two regents Students tell SFRB Senate to vote on former Air Force Academy boss, Fortner’s reappointment
by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu
If all goes according to plan, UNM’s Board of Regents will have two new members. On Tuesday, Gov. Susana Martinez appointed Lt. Gen. Bradley Hosmer and reappointed Regent Vice President Jack Fortner to serve on the board. Martinez also appointed Jacob Wellman on Monday to serve as student regent. “I look forward to the opportunity to work with the new regents, as well as those who are already serving, to reinforce and maintain a standard of high expectations,” Martinez said in a statement. If approved by the New Mexico Senate, Hosmer and Fortner will serve six-year terms.

how to spend fees by Hunter Riley hriley@unm.edu
Students at Monday’s Student Fee Review Board town-hall meeting chatted with board members about how they want their fees allocated. SFRB member Heidi Overton said rising student fees are a cause for concern. “Student fees have been rising for the past eight years,” she said. “Do we want student fees to always be increasing? As cuts are coming to the University, the SFRB is being requested more and more and more.” The board will hold a meeting to draft student fee recommendations Thursday. The meeting will run from 5-10 p.m. at the Domenici Center room 310. The board will submit its recommendations to UNM President David Schmidly on March 1. Students also discussed the
consolidation and collaboration of resource centers at the meeting. Overton said one applicant suggested African-American Student Services, American Indian Student Services, El Centro de la Raza, LGBTQ Resource Center and Women’s Resource Center should be combined into one center, which would receive one sum of student fees. A consolidated center might not meet students’ needs effectively, said Alma Rosa Silva-Bañuelos, the LGBTQ Resource Center program coordinator. “We need to be cautious when we start to merge ethnic centers together,” she said. “We become a melting pot, which starts to change representation. There are unique aspects. And for the LGBTQ Resource center, we’re everywhere. Our constituency is part of all

Student Luc Mouchet, who attended the town hall meeting, said he is worried about having to buy his own bus pass. He said the University should increase student fees rather than have PATS cut the bus program. Mouchet said his federal scholarship pays for his student fees, and he rides the bus to school daily. “If that was funded through student fees, it would still save me a huge amount of money because that’s my primary source of transportation,� he said.

General Hosmer’s record, or his qualifications as a regent,� Wood said. “He certainly brings an impressive record of military service, and his service as superintendent of the Air Force Academy should give him real insight into higher education. His challenge will be translating that expertise into the rather different setting of a flagship research university — and one with a better basketball team.�
Wood and other faculty leaders around the state encouraged Martinez to uphold an executive order from former-Gov. Bill Richardson that would allow faculty members input in the governor’s regent selection process. However, Martinez opted to select regents without the faculty’s feedback. Martinez said that the appointments are vital to help the universities progress.  “It is important that our universities and my administration uphold a strong working relationship in order to ensure the best possible education for New Mexico’s students,� she said.

Letter Appointed student regent has UNM’s interests at heart Editor, Susana Martinez selected Jake Wellman on Monday as her appointment to the student regent position for the UNM Board of Regents. Whatever your feelings are on the UNM or Martinez administrations, or the bureaucracy at large, students should feel confident that Martinez has selected a champion for the students. Wellman’s leadership experience began in Boy Scouts of America, when he was elected national chief in 2008. I met Wellman at UNM in fall 2008, when we ran together for ASUNM Senate positions. Although he was not elected, former ASUNM President Ashley Fate appointed him ASUNM chief of staff and director of the Lobby Committee. He quickly became an asset to ASUNM. Fate’s successor, Monika Roberts, appointed him ASUNM attorney general. Wellman continues serving the undergraduate student body today as a member of the Student Fee Review Board, and president of the Student Union Building Board, where he was instrumental in securing new and healthy campus food options. Even though Wellman devotes considerable time to ASUNM, he also represents the undergraduate students as a budgetary adviser to President Schmidly on the President’s Strategic Advisory Team. He is also a Truman Scholar National Finalist and president of the fraternity Alpha Tau Omega. Wellman, a political science major, not only has experience with UNM politics, but also with New Mexico and national politics. He served as a Congressional intern in Washington, D.C., with Rep. Martin Heinrich (D-NM), and in doing so, served the people of the First Congressional District of New Mexico. Wellman is interning in Santa Fe at Think New Mexico, a policy organization specific to New Mexico Legislation. Additionally, his employment with UNM Government Relations provided countless hours of training from UNM’s top lobbyists and governmental relations spokespeople. As both a student of the University and an important member of the school’s decisionmaking community, it is safe to say that Wellman understands how the University operates and how it can be better. One might say this is quite the résumé, but Wellman does not hold these positions for personal gain. He fills his days with these responsibilities because he cares about UNM students’ needs. He knows that the student voice is vital to the University’s success, and he wants to represent us in a way that amplifies what students are asking for and accomplishes their objectives. Other campus leaders, administrators and now the governor value his opinion and voice. Regardless of where you stand politically, I am writing to tell you, based on Wellman’s dedication to his responsibilities and to UNM students, I know him to be a man of honor, intelligence and integrity. He is on our side. Chelsea Stallings Former ASUNM Senator

Column
Egypt’s fury won’t spread to China by Charles Hutzler
Associated Press Guest Columnist BEIJING — For those who rule out the possibility of a Middle East-style democracy revolution in China, consider the town of Xiangshui. There, tens of thousands of farmers fled their homes this month in a middleof-the-night panic on rumors that a nearby chemical plant with a bad safety record would explode. The chaos ensued despite appeals from officials that the rumors were unfounded. It left four people dead when a motorized three-wheel vehicle jammed with 20 people veered into a river. China may have successfully squelched a mysterious call for protests Sunday, but people’s trust that the government will look after their interests runs shallow. “The current regime structure is very fragile. It’s not right for revolution at the moment, but that doesn’t mean mass political upheaval can’t take place in the future,” said Minxin Pei, a China politics expert at Claremont McKenna College in California.
In the latest test, China’s authoritarian government seems to have dispatched the threat of public protests with great efficiency. In response to an Internet appeal of unknown origin for simultaneous protests in 13 cities Sunday, police detained known activists, disconnected some cell-phone text messaging services and blocked online searches for the phrase “Jasmine Revolution” — the name of both the protest call and the wave of Middle East democracy protests that started in Tunisia. As a result, only a handful of people protested in Beijing and Shanghai, though hundreds of onlookers made it difficult to discern sympathizers from rubberneckers. On Monday, many activists remained in detention or unreachable, state media mainly ignored the protests, and Internet connections to news sites and search engines were sporadic, usually a sign of heavy government monitoring. Tens of thousands of large-scale local protests take place every year over corruption, seizures of land for development and other acts of government misfeasance.
Food safety scandals over milk laced with industrial chemicals and rice contaminated with heavy metals have shaken the confidence of middle class consumers. Still, few China watchers believe a revolution is at hand, following the mass demonstrations that swept the autocratic rulers of Tunisia and Egypt aside and are now violently engulfing Libya and roiling Algeria, Bahrain and Yemen. Conditions in China aren’t quite as desperate. China is the world’s fastest-growing major economy, with economists predicting another year of better than nine percent growth for 2011. While unemployment is surely higher than the nearly five percent urban joblessness rate, factory wages and conditions are improving for many. University graduates — a crucial group in Egypt’s uprising — are finding jobs in China, though they are poorly paid. The military, at least at the leadership level, is not showing fissures in support for Communist Party rule, and the police state has suppressed any opposition leaders or organizations from emerging.
Letter Former Mennonite pastor questions Bible’s dogma Editor, I write as a former sincere Bible believer. I majored in Bible in college. I pastored an Illinois Mennonite church from 1966-68. Now I am glad not to be a member of any religion. People have used the Bible: to torture and kill people of other religions and convictions; to put men above women; to put whites above non-whites; to oppose marriage between whites and non-whites; to massacre Native Americans, Palestinians, Jews and gays; to plunder and poison the environment; to portray God as male; to damn masturbation; to
make us ashamed of our naked bodies and healthy sexual pleasures; to bless capitalism and murderous greed; to silence honest questioning; to keep people ignorant and passive under the bloody control of tyrants; to condemn passionate romance between men or between women; to enslave blacks; to demand spouses remain in miserable marriages; to rally soldiers and taxpayers to rob and slaughter other nations; to surgically rape and painfully mutilate boy babies in circumcision; to spank children; to abuse and eat animals; to champion the death penalty; to build nuclear bombs for global terrorism; to teach eternal excruciating punishment with no pardon and no parole! I reject all such evil religion. I treasure all genuine spirituality: humility in the face of life’s mystery; treating others as
I want them to treat me; feeling deeply connected with people, including my enemies; reaching out to learn, feel, love, forgive and ask forgiveness in this crazy, cruel and beautiful world; respecting the Earth as our mother; celebrating mutually affectionate, passionate sex; living the truth as best I see it, no matter how unpopular and controversial; confessing that apart from the much love, wisdom and inspiration I have received from people, I am no better than Hitler, Stalin, the Ku Klux Klan, money addicts, Bush, Obama, anti-gay bigots, religious fundamentalists, Sandia weapons scientists, the man who murdered my grandparents, or the person in my family who hurt me the most.

Skateboard team fights racism, gravity by Chris Quintana
culture@dailylobo.com At first glance, skateboards seem nothing more than a set of wheels and some wood, but the UNM skating team thinks they can be a lot more. D Andre Q. Curtis, also known as Dre, said he is hosting a skateboarding demo today with his team, T.E.A.M. D.A.N.K. “It’s not only my rescue to clear and free my mind, but it does a lot for kids and families,” Curtis said. “When you go to a skate competition, you don’t only see the kids — you see the parents, teenagers and the elders. It brings everyone together no matter what they like to do.” Curtis is African-American and an architecture student. In his sparse free time, he said he strives to promote cultural acceptance. Since it’s Black History Month, he said he’s ramping up his efforts. “Black History Month, to me, is actually Black History Year 365 days around, but we are fortunate to get a month because of our forefathers and their struggle,” he said. “I don’t feel it’s enough, but it’s a start.” T.E.A.M. D.A.N.K., which stands for “To Every Adult and Minor, Don’t Af-
DAILY LOBO
filiate Negativity, Kids,” is part of that effort. He said as far the skateboarding world is concerned, race doesn’t matter, and he wants to show that to everyone. “I feel when people see us skating next Wednesday, they’ll see a group of people who came together with all different backgrounds,” he said. Curtis said he has firsthand experience with the power of skateboarding. Right as he was about to start middle school, he moved to Mesa, Ariz., a primarily Mormon town, he said. “It was one of three African-American students. It was not the worst thing ever,” he said. “They treated me pretty well. I mean, nowhere is perfect. But the person who taught me how to skate was a Caucasian fellow named Chris who I became close with.” From there, he said, his love of skateboarding was cemented, and it brings him meaning today. “Skateboarding to me means so much because someone I thought I might never get along with taught me something that I truly enjoy,” he said. Curtis, however, is by no means an isolated phenomenon. Other team members said they felt the same way about skating. Teammate and student Vincent
Members of T.E.A.M. D.A.N.K. take a break from their skate practice Tuesday. The group’s main goal for their skate demo in Zimmerman Plaza is to promote racial diversity through skateboarding. Laurisa Galvan Daily Lobo
King, also African-American, said race doesn’t exist in the skateboarding world, and even the term “skater” is too nebulous to describe a person. “Yeah, I skateboard,” he said. “There’s a lot that encompasses that term. I mean, there are so many different types of people that skate. It’s a really broad generalization saying that you are a skater. So I’d say I am somebody who, uh, … enjoys skateboarding. That would be an appropriate term.” King conceded that sometimes and in some places race is a factor. He said while he was in New York visiting family, another African-American man approached him and his cousin. “He said, ‘Black people don’t skateboard. What are you doing?’” he said.

“That just struck me as odd that our own people are trying to tell us that we are supposed to listen to what other people are telling us what we are supposed to do.” King said his experience wasn’t typical, but left its mark. He said the experience has never happened to him in New Mexico. “It’s almost more hurtful than hearing it from someone else, and it just reminds me how immensely oppressed African-American people are,” he said. “If you are going to say something like that, how deeply influenced are you? I don’t know, man. It was a downer.” Other skaters agreed. Damien Grandestaff said he’s Hispanic, and while that doesn’t matter in
skateboarding, it might matter on the street. He said he skates with AfricanAmericans, Native Americans and Caucasians on T.E.A.M. D.A.N.K. “I find myself skating with all kinds of people,” he said. “I skate with black people, white people, like, you know, extremely white people that don’t even do anything like I do. We just try to have a good time and relate, you know?”
