Investigation of APD approved by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Robert Encinio (left) consoles Kenneth Guy Ellis Jr., whose son, Kenneth Elias III, died in an incident with police in January 2010. Ellis and Encinio, brother-in-law to Elias III, called for an investigation of APD by the Department of Justice following the 20 officer-related shootings in the last 20 months. Albuquerque City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling for a justice department investigation Monday night.
Protesters banded together in the City Council chambers Monday, calling for the Department of Justice to investigate alleged APD misconduct in a series of 20 police shootings in the last 20 months, 14 of which have been fatal. Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry vetoed a City Council resolution last month that asked for a DOJ investigation, and the City Council failed to override the veto at a Sept. 7 council meeting. During Monday night’s council meeting, Rey Garduño, district six’s city councilor, proposed a new resolution in favor of a DOJ investigation. The resolution passed unanimously on Monday night. Activist Clarence Watley called for justice for all of Albuquerque. “We need a new Martin Luther King,” she said. “Nobody wants their family members shot, not in the heights, not in the valley, not in Nob Hill; never in this city should that happen.” Jewel Hall, president of the Dr. Martin Luther King Memorial Center Task Force on Social Justice for Public Safety, a group advocating for a DOJ investigation, said APD needs to be held accountable. “Having the justice department investigate would send a powerful message that Albuquerque is a city run by officials with nothing to hide,” she said.
APD Deputy Chief Allen Banks said the department does all it can to make sure officers are held accountable, but he said an outside investigation by the DOJ isn’t required.
“I think there are some individuals that are bending and bypassing the law because of their position in society,” ~Robert Encinio

“We don’t feel like that is necessary,” he said. “We’ve been doing (investigations) for many years, whether it’s discipline or exoneration. We are making sure an investigation is done in each of these cases. It’s thorough, it’s accurate, and we decide at that point whether there is going to be discipline or not.” Banks said the public often fails to realize the difficult situations in which officers are placed, and said officers handle situations to the best of their ability and training. “It is a dangerous job,” he said. “Officers have to live with this for the rest of their lives. They don’t wake up every day saying ‘I need to go out and shoot somebody.’ They are pro-
tecting the citizens of Albuquerque, and, unfortunately, deadly force situations are encountered and someone can end up being hurt as a result, but this affects everyone.” Banks said investigations at APD are conducted by a task force of multiple agencies including the District Attorney’s Office and an independent review officer to ensure there is no bias when addressing issues of possible officer misconduct. Kristine Poteet, 11, and 8-yearold Alegra Scarborough read a poem during the public comment section of the council meeting. “We raise up our voices in voice to mourn the 13 husbands, fathers, sons, grandsons felled by the APD, keepers of the peace,” they said. “They didn’t have to die,” Poteet said the issue is personal to her. “I personally know someone that was shot,” she said. “Tony Lujan. I saw him at my best friend’s house every time I went there. He died because a cop shot him.” Former overseas law officer Robert Encinio’s brother-in-law, Kenneth Ellis III, was killed in a January 2010 incident with APD that is currently under investigation by a grand jury. “I think there are some individuals that are bending and bypassing the law because of their position in society,” Encinio said. “Individuals in high ranks are too afraid to

Reckless skaters escape penalties by Chelsea Erven
news@dailylobo.com Student Veterans of UNM has decided to take action on a problem members say hasn’t been properly enforced on campus: skateboarding. Joseph Boyd, the group’s president, said out-of-control skateboarders threaten the safety of disabled veterans and students alike. “It’s a safety issue,” he said. “I’d like to see the problem solved before someone gets really hurt. Sometimes, with UNM, it takes something really bad happening for a change to occur, but I don’t want that to happen in this case.” Boyd said disabled veterans are especially vulnerable. Student Jack Hill served 15 years in the U.S. Navy, and was honorably discharged. He was deployed to Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia and Afghanistan and served three tours in Iraq. He said he sustained several injuries, but ultimately was “one of the lucky ones.” Still, Hill can’t get around campus without the help of his 165-pound service dog, Captain. Hill said he and Captain were hit by skateboarders on campus twice last Tuesday, once on a handicap ramp. “I have mobility issues,” he said. “If I get hit, I’m going down.” Hill said there’s an easy solution to the problem. “I’m not a guy who brings up problems unless there’s a solution,”

he said. “There need to be cops patrolling in the mall, by the duck pond, patrolling on foot, where they can see what’s happening.” Boyd said a meeting with the UNMPD and the Dean of Students Office is scheduled for Wednesday to discuss the issue. “There are policies about skateboarding, but lack of enforcement is the problem,” Boyd said. UNMPD spokesman Lt. Robert Haarhues said it’s difficult to catch law-breaking skateboarders. “We get a lot of calls about it, but by the time we get there they’re gone,” he said. Haarhues said skateboarders that UNMPD does catch get referred to the Dean of Students office if they are UNM students. If they are not students, they are asked to leave campus for the day. Robert Burford, student conduct officer in the Dean of Students office said he only receives a few complaints each year regarding skateboarders. He said the skateboarder’s name is required to file a complaint. Hill said he couldn’t have gotten the name of the skateboarder who hit him. “The guy hit Captain and just said, ‘Sorry dude’ and kept on rocking,” he said. Burford said his office evaluates every complaint. “When we get a report of a violation of a policy here in our office, it is evaluated to see if there has actually
been a policy violation,” he said. “If there has been or seems there has been, then a e-mail or letter goes out to the student informing them that we need to get their side of story, so we can make an informed decision as to whether an actual policy violation has occurred.” Burford said if a violation has occurred, punishment could range from a warning to suspension. He said those who want to skateboard on campus should review UNM’s skateboard policies. “If all skateboarders would adhere to keeping all four wheels on the ground and bicyclists would adhere to keeping both their wheels on the ground, then the UNM Campus would have far fewer incidents of issues with pedestrians and damages to property here at UNM,” he said. The Daily Lobo ran a story about skaterboarders, “Skaters grind on public’s patience” Sept. 12, which elicited responses from local neighborhood members saying the issue extends to neighborhoods surrounding UNM as well. A Daily Lobo poll on skateboarding on campus garnered 116 responses, 54 percent of which agreed that “(Skateboarders) need to be more careful. I’ve almost been hit once or more.” Hill said he shares the sentiment. “It’s definitely grinding on my patience,” Hill said.

Romilly Tsinhnahjinnie is the president of UNM’s newly chartered figure skating team. She has competed both regionally and nationally and has been figure skating for nearly 10 years. She also teaches ice skating at the Outpost Ice Arena. Daily Lobo: For someone who’s never been ice skating, what should they bring to the ice rink? Romilly Tsinhnahjinnie: Definitely make sure to bring gloves, warm clothes and long socks to go in the rental skates. And a positive attitude. DL: What is the best way to tie the ice skates? RT: Once you get your rental skates, make sure to tie the skates really tight. There should be no extra space inside the skate and your heel should touch the back of the skate. Use the hooks on the side of the skate to tie and wrap extra-long laces around the ankle of the boot. DL: What’s the best way to get onto the ice? RT: When you take your first steps on the ice, think of it as walking. Your hips should be in line above your ankles and try to stand up as straight as possible. Hold on to the wall until you feel comfortable skating on your own. Take small steps with your arms out to your side for balance. If you feel like you are going to fall, do not fight it. Let yourself fall — it hurts a lot more if you fall while tense.
New Mexico Daily Lobo
Show me how to: Ice skate
DL: Then what? RT: If you do fall, get up by getting on all fours and then pushing up with one foot at a time. Try to avoid leaning back. Instead, lean forward and bend your knees for balance. Once you feel comfortable skating on the ice you can try various tricks and impress your friends. DL: What are some easy tricks for first-time skaters? RT: Try skating backwards by bending your knees and wiggling your hips back and forth. It might look funny, but it’s the easiest way to skate backwards. You can also try swizzle pumps, move your feet in and out while propelling yourself forward. Your toes should touch each other, then heels and then feet should move away from each other, similar to a breast stroke in swimming, just with your feet instead. Try learning how to stop by pushing your feet out in a pigeon-toed fashion. If you ski it should feel familiar. Remember, your skate blades are sharp and the ice is hard, so be careful. The Daily Lobo is not responsible for any ice skating injuries — or other types, for that matter — received in following this advice.

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ repeal effective today by Robert Burns
The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The military says it is ready for the lifting Tuesday of a ban on gays serving openly, while supporters of repeal applaud the historic change as a victory for equal rights. Pentagon press secretary George Little said Monday that the military is adequately prepared for the end of the current policy, commonly known as “don’t ask, don’t tell,” under which gays are allowed to serve as long as they do not openly acknowledge their sexual orientation, and commanders are not allowed to ask questions regarding orientation. “No one should be left with the impression that we are unprepared. We are prepared for repeal,” Little said. Last week the Pentagon said
97 percent of the military has undergone training under the new law. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Joint Chiefs chairman Adm. Mike Mullen and President Barack Obama have all certified that allowing openly gay service members will not undermine the effectiveness of the military or its recruiting. Repeal will take effect at 12:01 a.m. EDT Tuesday. For weeks the military services have been accepting applications from openly gay recruits, while waiting for repeal to take effect before processing the applications. As soon as the ban is lifted, the Defense Department will publish revised regulations to reflect the new law that will allow gays to serve openly. The revisions, such as eliminating references to banned homosexual service, are in line with policy guidance that was

issued by top Pentagon officials in January, after Obama signed the legislation that did away with the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. The lifting of the 18-year-old ban also will mean a halt to all pending investigations, discharges and other administrative proceedings that were begun under the Clinton-era law. Existing standards of personal conduct, such as those pertaining to public displays of affection, will continue regardless of sexual orientation. There also will be no immediate changes to eligibility standards for military benefits. All service members already are entitled to certain benefits and entitlements, such as designating a partner as one’s life insurance beneficiary or as designated caregiver in the Wounded Warrior program.

thornier issues. An initial move by the Navy earlier this year to train chaplains about same-sex civil unions in states where they are legal was shelved after more than five dozen lawmakers objected. The Pentagon is reviewing the issue. Service members who were discharged under the “don’t ask, don’t tell” law will be allowed to re-enlist, but their applications will not be given priority over those of any others with prior military experience who are seeking to re-enlist. Some in Congress remain opposed to repeal, arguing that it may undermine order and discipline. A leading advocate, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, said Monday the repeal is overdue. “Our nation will finally close the door on a fundamental unfairness for gays and lesbians, and indeed

affirm equality for all Americans,” said the California Democrat. Little said Panetta would discuss the matter at a Pentagon news conference on Tuesday. The Pentagon otherwise was taking a low-key approach to the historic day. Gay rights groups, however, are preparing a series of celebrations. Servicemembers Legal Defense Network said repeal supporters would hold “Repeal Day” celebrations across the country Tuesday. “Through these events taking place in every state across the country, we will pay tribute to their service and sacrifice as we look forward to this new era of military service — an era that honors the contributions of all qualified Americans who have served and wish to serve,” said Aubrey Sarvis, an Army veteran and executive director of the advocacy group.

Commiseration with starvation by Lindsay Douglas ldoug494@unm.edu
The Muslim Student Association (MSA) will hold its annual Fast-AThon on Thursday to raise money and awareness for famine in the eastern horn of Africa. Mostafa Amini, president of the MSA, said the fast will follow traditional Islamic practices. “The practice of fasting, within the Islamic religion, consists of abstaining from eating and drinking, including water, from sunrise to sunset,� he said. Amini said fasting isn’t supposed to be easy. “It allows the UNM community to feel and not only sympathize, but rather empathize with our fellow humans that are experiencing poverty, famine and other sub-human conditions,� he said. This fast is a nationwide event,

There are plenty of people in Santa Fe — not to mention greater Northern New Mexico, the entire state and probably the vast American Southwest — who make their own salsa. A significant percentage, too, have likely fantasized about packaging and selling that salsa. One Santa Fe resident, however, will tell you it’s not a project to be taken lightly. “I do it all: deliveries, demonstrations, everything. I drive myself crazy. This is my life; this is it,� said Terry Rodriguez, owner and sole employee of A La Ve! Salsa. Rodriguez translates the name of her salsa as “Holy smokes! This is really good!� Although it’s a Northern New Mexican expression with many irreverent meanings, Rodriguez said she heard the phrase so frequently when people tried her salsa that she decided to name her business after it. “It just means ‘wow,’� she said. Rodriguez has worn many hats
before starting her salsa business. Raised in Nambe, she has been a journeyman house painter for some 30 years, she was a special-education teacher at El Dorado Community School, and is 12 credits shy of completing the four-year exercise science program at Santa Fe Community College. Through it all, her homemade salsa was in constant demand, especially with her friends and coworkers. “About five years ago, when I was working at El Dorado (Community School), I was taking (salsa) to luncheons, and that’s when I realized I had to turn it into a business,� she said. Rodriguez first sold her salsa at the then-fledgling Eldorado Farmers Market in La Tienda. At that time, she was one of only a handful of vendors who sold products at the market. “One day, a customer who was always buying my salsa told me she worked for New Mexico’s Own and (said) I was a perfect candidate for them,� she said.

hunger. “Just because now they don’t talk about it that much in the media, doesn’t mean people aren’t starving to death anymore,� Mustafa said. “We need to keep focus and attention on people who need help, not just because it’s a news story, but because as human beings we all need to take care of each other.� Mustafa said the event is not exclusive to Muslim students. “This fundraiser is a human issue, meaning we want people of all different faiths, cultural backgrounds, different political ideologies, etc. to come help and support the people of the eastern horn of Africa,� she said. “As fellow humans we should bear the responsibility in making sure that we all help each other out, and this fundraiser is just another opportunity for doing so.�

He said his son was stopped at a checkpoint where police were looking for stolen vehicles. “They escalated the situation instead of de-escalating,â€? Ellis Jr. said. “They set up a perimeter, and he held a gun to his head to stop them from beating the hell out of him like they did before. They can’t just arrest people and take them in; they have to rough them up.â€? He said APD is quick to shoot and slow to listen. “That was a call for help, not a call to be killed,â€? he said. “They forget they are supposed to serve and protect the public. He got his hip blown off and his battle buddy blown up all over him. He lost half his squad in Baghdad. He needed help.â€? Ellis Jr. said he is angry at the way the case has been handled. “They fabricated the whole scenario ‌ they present this whole thing to the media as the gospel, and it simply isn’t true,â€? he said. “They slandered my son and dragged him through the mud.â€?
said Danya Mustafa, secretary for the MSA. “Usually it is during the month of Ramadan,� she said. “Since Ramadan was during the summer this year, we decided to have one anyway just as a fundraiser and to show solidarity with the people who are affected by the famine in the eastern horn of Africa.� Amini said the fast isn’t just about not eating or drinking. “The day consists of constant remembrance of God, contemplation of life’s true meaning, and overcoming physical pain in order to taste spiritual fulfillment,� he said. At sundown, catered Mediterranean food will be served to mark the end of the fast. Last year’s fast raised roughly $1,200 for flood relief in Pakistan, This year Mustafa says they hope to raise even more money and more awareness to help end world

Letter
Guns don’t make moral judgments Editor, After reading “Defend your rights on campus with AK-47” by James Burbank in last Friday’s Daily Lobo, all I can say is what a ridiculous letter that was. There is no substance to the letter at all, only hysterical ranting about how people may arbitrarily start shooting other people over a bad grade or their perception that someone is annoying. Obviously, the intent of the article was to criticize conservative politics and states that support the Second Amendment. Unfortunately, Mr. Burbank exhibits no reason and provides no facts or common sense to support his position. Instead, he resorts to the over-the-top fantasy analogies aimed at scaring people into hating guns. The fact is that no one is 100 percent safe in this world, and that is due purely to the differences between people. Whether a person owns and/or carries a gun does not automatically categorize that person as a danger to society. A gun is a tool that can be used for good or evil. However, it’s not the gun that makes that decision — it is the person. The simple fact is that anyone who chooses to can be evil with or without a firearm. Hysterical rants that are fantasies about what could happen serve no purpose other than to stir up other like-minded people and indulge their unrealistic fears. The fact that guns exist precludes the sad fact that some people will be hurt or killed by them. However, the truth remains that they will have been killed by the decision of another human being, not by the decision of a gun. In closing, while I respect Mr. Burbank’s right to not like or carry guns, my guess is that if he is ever in a life-threatening situation, he will be happy to cower behind someone who is defending himself with one.

Column
Food crusade brings democracy to dinner by Jason Darensburg Daily Lobo Columnist
Food democracy is a true ‘grassroots’ movement toward sustainable, responsible, healthy and community-based food production and distribution. The food democracy movement asserts that people have the power and the responsibility to actively participate in decisions concerning their food system. The ultimate goal of the food democracy movement is to guarantee that all people have access to “affordable, healthy and culturally appropriate foods.” These ideals can positively affect all aspects of our lives beyond our overall health or the local economy, especially in a poor and food insecure state such as New Mexico. Access to sustainable, safe alternative food sources free from corporate control is an issue that goes to the heart of our democratic institutions and affects our daily lives. The notion of food democracy stresses social justice in all aspects of the food system, from farming and raising livestock to marketing and distribution. Proper nutrition and healthy eating options are viewed as the foundations of a healthy and free society. The rise in incidents of diabetes, obesity and many other health problems in America can be directly traced to corporate control over the food supply and our high-fat and -fructose diets, along with the rise of fast food culture. I’ve heard the argument from working parents that they don’t have the time or the energy to create healthy, nutritious meals for their families after long hours at work, and this is an issue that must be addressed as well. Wholesome, organic food can be expensive. According to a recent U.S. Census Bureau report, one in six Americans now live in poverty. Fast food is cheap and easily accessible, and many people eat it because they don’t have the energy, resources, or ability to cook a decent meal. Cooking is a lost art in this country. Food democracy is a safety issue too. We can’t even trust the agencies charged with protecting our food supply, including the Food and Drug Administration. In August, public health officials in California raided the Rawsome Food Club in a SWAT-style sting operation and charged the owners with producing and selling unpasteurized goat milk and cheese and other products. Rawsome was also charged with “mislabeling cheese,” and conspiracy to commit a crime. The really scary part is that, according to
the FDA’s lawyers, the “plaintiffs’ assertion of a new ‘fundamental right’ to produce, obtain and consume unpasteurized milk lacks any support in law.” They go on to state: “There is no ‘deeply rooted’ historical tradition of unfettered access to foods of all kinds. … Plaintiffs’ assertion of a ‘fundamental right to their own bodily and physical health, which includes what foods they do and do not choose to consume for themselves and their families,’ is similarly unavailing because plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to obtain any food they wish.” It might be helpful to insert a quote from Thomas Jefferson at this juncture: “If the people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.” Chew on that, FDA.
“The rise in incidents of diabetes, obesity and many other health problems in America can be directly traced to corporate control over the food supply and our high-fat and -fructose diets, along with the rise of fast food culture...” Community gardens are a viable alternative to some of the problems faced by inner-city families where poverty is rampant and access to healthy produce is rare. Economically devastated areas like Mileston, Miss., Detroit and New Orleans are leading the way in the organic revolution by creating publicly managed gardens from the ruins of crumbling neighborhoods and abandoned lots. In Chicago, a group of community activists got together and purchased an old city bus from the Chicago Transit Authority, and created the ‘Fresh Moves Bus,’ a novel approach to bringing fresh fruit and vegetables to the unfortunate citizens living in what are called food deserts. ‘Food desert’ is a relatively new term, coined to describe inner-city communities so impoverished and crime-ridden that major grocery store chains refuse to do business there, including Walmart. You know things are bad
when you can‘t find a Walmart within 20 miles. In Detroit — another food desert — the Detroit Agricultural Network has grown to more than 700 neighborhood gardens, affectionately cultivated by local community members. Grace Lee Boggs, 95-year-old community activist and organizer, praised the program. “Slowly but surely, this revolution is transforming Detroit and Detroiters. It reduces neighborhood blight, reconnects children and adults, and provides a community base for economic development.” UNM is doing its part to help bring awareness of food democracy and sustainability issues to students and local residents thanks to the Office of Sustainability and the UNM’s very own community garden: the Lobo Gardens, located behind the UNM Real Estate Department on main campus. Lobo Gardens is a campus- and community-based initiative of the Research Service Learning Program at UNM. The gardens function as experiential learning laboratories for UNM students, which help build community ties and foster education and collaboration while exchanging and enacting ideas for building a healthier and more sustainable environment. Last summer the Lobo Gardens partnered with Chartwell’s dining services at La Posada and at the Chartwell’s Mercado in the SUB in order to bring produce grown in the Lobo Garden directly to students on campus. Look for the “Extreme Local — Made Fresh with Lobo Gardens Produce” stickers on Mercado deli sandwiches. The RSLP also partners with the Dragon Farm at South Valley Academy, Kirtland Elementary and the Lobo Grower’s Market. On north campus, UNM Hospital has been hosting a weekly “Farm Fresh on the Plaza” event, which features locally grown produce as well as prepared food from several local vendors every Wednesday from 2 to 5 p.m. And finally, a proclamation has been submitted to Mayor Richard Berry to declare October “Local Food Month.” The Mid-Region Council of Governments Agriculture Collaborative has numerous events planned all over the state throughout the month of October to promote the cause. For more information, visit their website at: www.LocalFoodMonthNM.com. All of these initiatives attest to the fact that food democracy is a progressive, rapidly growing social movement that is on the verge of exploding into a global phenomenon. It needs to happen.

Corruption in “Loot� mirrors ABQ discord by Justino Brokaw
vidar234@yahoo.com Joe Orton’s “Loot,� currently playing at the Vortex Theatre, is a British play which is perfectly relevant to modern day Albuquerque. Because Albuquerque is dealing with its own police shootings and alleged abuse by authority, the themes of “Loot� match our city near perfectly. It’s a farcical comedy dripping with loathing of authority: the play is Orton’s platform for protesting the harsh, conservative Britain of the 1960s. The play’s villain is a brutal police officer, misusing his power and authority in a dark, witty performance by Neil Faulconbridge, yet Orton never romanticizes the crooks the police are pursuing. Hal, played by Michael Weppler, and Dennis, played by Bryan Chapman, are responsible for a bank robbery that serves as catalyst for the story and are thorough low-lifes. Both characters are daft (an English term for silly and stupid) in their own way, and Chapman especially plays up the humor in his characters’ simple desires. Weppler, though, falls short of Chapman’s performance. The play really thrives when Hal uses his mother’s funeral as a cover for the aftermath of the robbery. John Hardman, who plays the bereaved, elderly husband McLeavy, and Christy Lopez, who plays his gold-digging, murderous nurse Fay, threaten to steal the show.
Lopez mines her character’s shallow ambition and murderous inclinations for comedic gold, and Hardman clowns grandly, huffing and contorting to great success. The play struggles with pace at first, but the cast eventually hits its stride, earning successive guffaws. When the humor diminishes, Faulconbridge’s dark presence as Office Truscott adds a deeper layer to the proceedings. Initially claiming to be “from the water council,� Truscott is clearly an authority figure concerned with far more than leaky pipes. As his treatment of the thieves progresses from underhanded to outright violent, he earns more sympathy for them than they ever earn by themselves. “Loot� offers an intriguing marriage of classic British farce and passionate social commentary. The play suggests that while theft is criminal, abusing the power to protect is always worse — a message that many Albuquerque denizens will find all too familiar.

DAILY LOBO CAMPUS EVENTS
The Daily Lobo knows you are just counting the days until fall break (23). We also know you are counting pennies to save up for that long weekend getaway you want to take. The Daily Lobo has compiled a list of free events that will still allow you to have fun while saving for your holiday adventure. If you know of a free event, send the information to hriley@unm.edu.
“Fresco Tour” SUNDAY
Artist Frederico Vigil has managed to cram 3000 years of Hispanic history into a 4,000-foot concave fresco he painted at the National Hispanic Cultural Center. It took him about 10 years to finish this mural and it was unveiled last year. The NHCC is at 1701 4th Street S.W.
“Life-Size Chess”
Amnesty International Kickoff Starts at: 12:00pm Location: SUB Ballroom C Come and learn about the human rights work AI-UNM is doing here in our community and how you can get involved! FREE PIZZA!
SATURDAY
Acequia Booksellers invites you into its store for a night of listening, so bring your good ears. The night will feature recordings from songwriters, poets and social activists from the 30s. The recordings are from people such as Noam Chomsky and Woody Guthrie. The Acequia Booksellers is on 4019 4th St. N.W. and the event starts at 10:20 a.m.
SATURDAY
Join the festivities for the annual Old Town Salsa Fiesta. For its seventh year, the fiesta hosts Latin bands such as Encuentro and Quemozo. The festival also boasts a homemade salsa contest with 41 entries; the downside is the four-dollar entry fee to taste salsas and vote, but that’s basically free, right? The final event for the night is a performance by the Grammy-winning Spanish Harlem Orchestra. The event starts at 1 p.m. at 200 North Plaza N.W.
FRIDAY
Craigslist
Join Albuquerque poets and performers as they construct a massive, live chess game on Civic Plaza for 100 Thousand Poets for Change. Participants will read works about issues of all sorts and the changes required to solve them. According to freealbuquerque.com the event hopes to promote change in legislation through the visual metaphor. Civic Plaza is at Third Street N.W. and Marquette Avenue N.W. The event begins at 6 p.m.
Oh, the wonderful things that Craigslist has to offer! This week some of the better free listings include a plexiglass tank, and chickens and green chile. The plexiglass tank, according to the ad, is six feet by four feet and holds water. The title for the latter ad reads “Green Chile Chicken Soup,” but upon clicking the truth is revealed: The person posting the ad said he/she has three older egg-laying hens to give away to a good home. Bonus item: free green chile. -Hunter Riley
Poets proclaim for social justice by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu Over 100,000 poets will be crying, laughing and screaming on Saturday about topics such as homelessness, drug addiction, political boundaries, sexual abuse, genocide and motherhood. Although they speak about different issues, the one point all agree on is the necessity of change, according to the Albuquerque director of events, Zachary Kluckman. One Hundred Thousand Poets for Change is a global movement designed to bring solidarity to a divided world, Kluckman said. This Saturday, traditional and slam poets and musicians will be gathering within their communities across the world to do just that. Kluckman, a globally published poet, said he doesn’t think apathy is responsible for a lack of change in the world. It’s because, he said, so much pain exists in the world that people don’t know where to start. He said he wants 100 Thousand Poets for Change to be that starting point. “I think that they just don’t know where to get in. Hopefully this kind of turns into a keyhole, and people can come pick up a key from us, and get involved and learn how to open that door,”
LOBO LIFE Al-Anon Peer Support Group Starts at: 4:00pm Location: Women’s Resource Center Friends and family members of those struggling with someone else’s drinking can find support in a safe and confidential environment.

Kluckman said. Kluckman said 100 Thousand Poets for Change provides people with both factual information, as well as the emotional testimony of hardship.

wix.com/physicalpoet/100tpc “I keep telling people that our Albuquerque event is informing the revolution,” he said. “We’ve been talking about revolution for 50 years in poetry and art, and I’m not saying we’re ready to go take up flaming torches or anything, but it is time to definitely put more information on the table. We just want people to come out and hear what the struggles are and what the triumphs are, too.” Jessica Helen Lopez, a slam poet performing at the event, said her art form is perfect to express
the trials and tribulations of life because it is all-inclusive and community-driven. “Especially (in) slam, the performing has been in coffee shops, in little smoky bars where they host the slams. It really is poetry for the masses, you don’t have to wait around to be invited,” she said. O n e Hu n d r e d T h o u s a n d Poets for Change is an idealistic gathering designed to inspire change within human beings Kluckman said, but he also said the event is also taking action by partnering with charities such as the Roadrunner Food Bank, Joy Junction and Release Global. “I really wanted to make sure that while we were doing these events, we had something that was a physical action as well, something that we were actually contributing,” Kluckman said. He said he would like the public to donate anything from perishable food items to plain white tube socks, but that the physical contributions did not supersede the more artistic ones. “I think of poetry as a special social dialogue,” Kluckman said. “You can look at a piece of visual art and you can have this sort of one-sided conversation with it, you know. It’s going to talk to you, it’ll speak to you if you’re receptive, and that’s great.”
