Balloon Fiesta celebrates the joy of flight

@kubiakizabella

The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta kicked off Oct. 5, filling the skies with vibrance as hundreds of hot air balloons took flight during the world’s largest ballooning event. The festival ran through Sunday, Oct. 13.

Thousands of spectators gathered at Balloon Fiesta Park for the annual nine-day festival, which featured daily mass ascensions, “special shape” balloons and nighttime events. This year’s theme, “Embrace the Sky,” celebrated the joy of flight and community.

Each morning during the Fiesta, the iconic sound of the balloonists’ burners filled the air as dawn broke.

Some of the first balloons launched at 6 a.m., creating a panorama against the Sandia Mountains. Local families

and tourists snapped photos, capturing the event’s magic, which draws participants from around the globe.

New Mexico natives were excited to attend the annual Fiesta — like Miranda Sisneros, who has been going to it for over a decade.

“Every year, it’s a different experience. I’m a grandma now, and taking my grandbabies to the Fiesta for the first time is special to me,” Sisneros said. “Seeing the balloons go up is something New Mexicans shouldn’t miss.”

Among the special shape balloon creations this year was a massive Darth Vader balloon — part of a competition that included a giant dragon and a smiling pumpkin. Amanda Lawrey, who is a mom of two, said the shapes are something her kids look forward to every year. As an Albuquerque native, she said she sometimes views the traffic as a burden but ultimately finds the

Downtown sidewalk obstruction bill fails in City Council meeting

@lchapa06 & @paloma_chapa88

The Albuquerque City Council voted against a bill on Oct. 7 that would have banned obstructing sidewalks by sitting, laying or sleeping in certain areas of Downtown Albuquerque.

Council bill O-24-42 aimed to benefit economic development in Downtown Albuquerque by restricting “visible homelessness” that could deter customers from local businesses, according to City Councilor Joaquín Baca. It would have imposed a $100 fine or community service for obstructing sidewalks.

The bill also aimed to address vacant buildings.

Baca, who sponsored the bill, was the only one to raise his hand when the

Council voted on it; the bill failed 1-8.

The City Council previously decided to postpone voting on the bill and amendments at a meeting on Sept. 16, during which public commenters expressed concern for the impacts the bill would have — particularly on the unhoused community.

At the Oct. 7 meeting, the Council voted in favor of an amendment that would remove a portion that prohibits carrying signs and banners on the sidewalks, which initially sparked concerns about First Amendment rights.

Baca told the Daily Lobo that he was not surprised by the outcome of the vote. He said he may consider revising the bill in the future by breaking it into different parts to be voted on separately.

“I would be remiss if I just gave up at this point,” Baca said.

During discussion of amendments, Councilor Louie Sanchez said there would not be enough police to enforce the ordinance if it were enacted.

“We have everything in place that this bill calls for, but it just needs to be

enforced,” Sanchez said.

Councilor Tammy Fiebelkorn proposed an amendment to strike out the portion of the bill that would have banned sidewalk obstruction.

“There are some good things in this bill, but with this section in, in any way shape or form, I certainly can’t support it,” Fiebelkorn said.

Ilse Biel is a community organizer who was at the Oct. 7 meeting. She said she was relieved by the 1-8 vote but still has frustrations.

“I have truly grown quite tired of having to go to decision-makers and try and persuade them that displacements simply are not productive,” Biel said.

UNM students hold walkout

for Palestine

@lchapa06

& @paloma_chapa88

On Oct. 7, protesters at the University of New Mexico rallied and marched from campus to Nob Hill in support of Palestine.

Students, faculty members and community members rallied and marched from the Student Union Building to the Q Station space

technology hub in Nob Hill. They marched down — and blocked one side of — Central Avenue, carrying handmade signs and chanting “out of your classes and into the streets” and “UNM, your hands are red.”

The walkout was sponsored by 16 UNM student organizations, according to UNM Students for Justice in Palestine.

Members of SJP, along with UNM School of Medicine faculty member Andre Montoya-Barthelemy, spoke during the rally.

“As I look out here, I see students

and faculty and community members that make up the University,” Montoya-Barthelemy said. “We are the University. And yet, the leaders of the University do not reflect that.”

SJP members called for UNM’s divestment from Israeli companies and led chants.

“Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not rest,” protesters chanted.

The Daily Lobo revealed that UNM held investments in two mutual funds that contain Israeli companies in April. The University also holds bonds in Honeywell —

a company that produces missile parts for the Israeli Defense Forces.

“A public university should not serve as a political tool to express institutional opinions on intricate social and geopolitical matters,” UNM President Garnett Stokes wrote in a campus-wide email in May.

UNM sophomore Pilar Castro said she attended the walkout because she has seen the suffering of Palestinian children and mothers on social media.

UNM senior pushes for new crosswalk along Central Avenue

A senior at the University of New Mexico is spearheading an initiative to get a crosswalk installed on Central Avenue and Buena Vista Drive to minimize risky pedestrian crossing.

Jackie Davis is a geography major who regularly crossed at the intersection of Central Avenue and Buena Vista Drive during her junior year. She saw that she wasn’t the only one crossing at the intersection, which doesn’t currently have a crosswalk. The two closest crosswalks are at Yale Boulevard to the east and University Boulevard to the west.

“Going to the City Council was the natural first step to connect with agencies who actually do this work,” Davis said.

Davis first spoke to the Albuquerque City Council in February. She realized that if she wanted something to be done, she had to collect the data herself, Davis said.

“I was in a field research methods class at the time,” Davis said. “I took some of the stuff I learned from there and went and gathered some data on it.”

She counted the number of people crossing at the intersection in different intervals. In April, she proposed her idea to implement a crosswalk to the City Council, she said.

“It’s hard sitting alone on the side of the road and counting people for four hours,” Davis said. “It’s hard balancing this work alongside everything else, but this is something I want to do.”

The data that Davis presented showed that on Aug. 19, an average of 52 people crossed the road per hour, according to UNM Newsroom. She collected data between 8 a.m. and noon.

Davis also took measurement approximations of crosswalks along Central Avenue using Google Earth. With this data, she said she proved that crosswalks along Central Avenue tend to be close together. The two crosswalks nearest to Buena

Vista Drive are 1,300 feet apart from each other, Davis’ data revealed.

“Having 1,300 feet between two crosswalks is an anomaly along Central, because other crosswalks tend to be much closer,” Davis said.

But the Department of Municipal Development identified some barriers for implementation such as funding sources, according to Davis.

Davis said the skills she has gained from her geography degree have transferred to the process of the crosswalk project.

“As one of my professors has said, ‘Everything happens somewhere,’” Davis said. “Almost everything that happens on Earth has a geographical component to it, and that is especially the case here.”

New Mexico has the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities in the United States, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. East Central in particular is one of the most dangerous stretches of road for pedestrians, according to KUNM.

Davis encouraged underclass-

men who feel strongly about something not to shy away from pursuing action themselves.

“If you see something and think of what you can do about it, you’re probably the first one who’s going to take it that far,” Davis said. “You might not be the first one who noticed it, but you might be the first one to take action.”

REVIEW: ‘Fresh Kill’ shatters boundaries at Albuquerque’s Guild Cinema

On Oct. 5, Albuquerque’s Guild Cinema showed a restored 35 mm print of the 1994 film “Fresh Kill.” The screening was a part of a cross-country presentation, according to NPR. At each stop, the film was introduced by its director, Shu Lea Cheang.

“Fresh Kill” depicts a group of misfits living in New York City who stumble into a global conspiracy involving nuclear waste, glowing green fish, lethal cat food and a mysterious corporation with ominous TV commercials.

The film is named after the Fresh Kills Landfill, which covered parts of Staten Island from 1948 until it was shut down in 2001, making it the world’s largest landfill at the time, according to the New York Times.

A fundamentally anti-capitalist work, “Fresh Kill” shows that pollution and climate change directly

affect marginalized communities.

The film reflects the diversity of New York City in the 1990s. Most of the characters are people of color, who come together to fight against injustice at the grassroots level.

While “Fresh Kill” shows the effects that the titular landfill had on the community at the heart of the film, Cheang reminds the viewer that the evils of capitalism have ramifications across the globe.

In an interview with Spike, Cheang mentioned that while she was growing up in Taiwan, the Taiwanese government regularly dumped nuclear waste onto Orchid Island, the Indigenous homeland of the Tao people. A nuclear waste storage facility was built there in 1982 and has been met with fervent opposition ever since, according to the Taipei Times.

The film routinely cuts to Orchid Island, with shots featuring pollution washing up on the beach and the reactions of the island’s Indigenous people. By including scenes of people whose existences are threatened by

environmental racism, Cheang places the film in a global context, reinforcing the idea that oppression affects everyone — but solidarity can, too.

The characters in “Fresh Kill” include Shareen, who is South Asian; her partner Claire, who is white; their daughter Honey, who is Black; Shareen’s father, who is Native American; Claire’s mother, who is also Black; her brother Jiannbin, who is East Asian; and his boyfriend Miguel, who is Latino.

Honey disappears after eating the radioactive fish, and the community comes together to help find her. The media subsequently brand the couple as unfit mothers, which is especially timely in an era when Queer people are increasingly demonized by people in power.

After the film, Cheang participated in a Q&A session with the audience. She spoke about how the advent of portable video technology was crucial in making the film. After its invention, everybody could start documenting any political move-

ments, while there had previously been a gap between mainstream media and activists, she said.

When asked about how the film messes with audiences’ notions of race, Cheang said that in the 1980s, Hollywood started to do “non-traditional casting” — meaning it could start to cast non-white people to play certain roles.

According to Cheang, the film’s indifference to Western ideas of race intentionally screws up Hollywood’s half-hearted attempts at having racially diverse casts.

“This is non-traditional casting,” Cheang said.

Cheang said that the restoration process for “Fresh Kill” took six years.

The film’s original negative was used to make both a 4K digital print and a new 35 mm print.

The new 35 mm print of “Fresh Kill” is absolutely breathtaking. The film’s rich, ethereal color palette and set design shine. Cheang’s dynamic, industrial soundscapes are loud and expansive, immersing the viewer in her dystopian

hellscape of late-stage capitalism. Accompanying Cheang on her cross-country trip are two young filmmakers, Jean-Paul Jones and Jazz Franklin, who are making a documentary about how “Fresh Kill” resonates with audiences in 2024.

Jones spoke about what it’s been like to see different Queer communities across America come out to see the film. He said that he’s noticed that audiences tend to be predominantly lesbians and transgender men, but that they’ve been lacking in cultural diversity.

Thirty years later, “Fresh Kill” stands as one of the most radical American films of all time, shattering boundaries of what gets to be shown on movie screens. It’s critical that Cheang’s film is reaching new audiences at a time when it’s more topical than ever.

Painted Lady Bed & Brew in Albuquerque hosted a “Ghosts of Old Town Albuquerque” talk on Thursday, Oct. 10 as a part of its ongoing “Brews and Boos” event series. Cody Polston — an author, paranormal investigator and ghost tour guide — gave a talk to Painted Lady’s patrons on the various ghosts and ghost stories surrounding Old Town Albuquerque.

The talk featured and retold several iconic ghost stories from Old Town. One ghost who was featured was that of Milton Yarberry, New Mexico’s first constable — a type of law enforcement officer — who was hanged for murder. He haunts the area near where he was hanged, which is now

the parking lot behind La Hacienda.

Allegedly, the ghost will appear to people in the parking lot in a black suit and hat and ask them, “Have you paid the toll?” referencing not the parking meters, but the cost of their sins. Then, he disappears.

Another was the story of the Hatchet Woman, a ghostly woman who allegedly appears near a barn behind La Placita Dining Rooms in Old Town. The most dramatic — and therefore popular — version of the story is that the woman caught her lover being unfaithful and murdered him with a hatchet. However, no such murder is historically documented, casting doubt on the narrative.

Another version of the story says that lovers can go to the barn to see the future of their relationship. If the woman will be unfaithful, a ghost —

or a witch, as some versions go — will mark her with a red handprint on her back. If the man will be unfaithful, he will be marked with scratches down his back.

Polston was told the latter version of the story by a tour-goer, who said he pretended to be the ghost to help his older brother break up with his girlfriend.

Old Town allegedly has so many ghosts because of its history; it was Albuquerque’s red-light district, an area of a town known for speakeasies and prostitution, making it a hot spot for historical violence and restless spirits.

“I like ghost stories with some sort of historical significance,” Polston said. “I think it’s fun because the ghost story preserves that little piece of history for us.”

The Painted Lady itself has a haunted history, making it the perfect location for spooky-themed events all year. Owner Jesse Herron said he purchased the Painted Lady in 2014. At the time, he said it was “a neighborhood eyesore,” but it had a fascinating history.

It was formerly a saloon and brothel, and it accommodated notorious historical figures such as Billy the Kid. The Painted Lady is allegedly haunted by multiple spirits and has coffee cans full of cash buried all around the premises.

“I think it’s a cool space for people who are into the paranormal. We’ve created a community for them to come together and enjoy something and learn something,” Herron said. “We’re spooky year-round.”

Polston thinks people believe in ghosts and fixate on haunted places for a few reasons, he said.

“One: belief in the afterlife. It’s going to be in their world view. Also, I think it’s a way of trying to deal with death,” Polston said. “When I die, I’m not gone. There’s a part of me that’s still there.”

Most people, though, look at it as a form of entertainment and fun, Polston said.

The Painted Lady will continue to host events, including more ghost talks, open mic nights and scary movie showings throughout the year.

LOBO SPORTS

Football: Lobos dominate against Airforce Academy

quarter from both teams. The Lobos had a quick three-and-out on their first possession of the game, which was then followed up by a long nineminute drive by the Falcons. Despite the long drive by Air Force, the Lobos’ defense held strong, holding them to 3 points.

On the next offensive possession for the Lobos, the offense marched down the field. The drive ended with quarterback Devon Dampier finding the end zone on a 7-yard run. They led 7-3 at the end of the first.

The second quarter was all Lobos.

The University of New Mexico football team put on a show as it dominated against the United States Air Force Academy Falcons, beating them 52-37 at home on Saturday, Oct. 13. The Lobos fired on all cylinders. Offensively, they could not be stopped, with solid defensive play helping throughout the game.

The first quarter was a grind-it-out

The Lobos took over the game from the start and never looked back. The Lobos’ domination of the game began when their defense forced Air Force to punt.

Wide receiver Luke Wysong was down on the other end to return the punt, and he returned it 79 yards for touchdown. After that, the Falcons’ offense came back down the field and scored a touchdown to cut the lead to 4 points.

The next two drives were back and forth for both teams; Dampier and the Lobos found the end zone

in six plays, but the Falcons put a drive together themselves. To end the quarter, the Lobos found another score, as Dampier rushed into the end zone. The Lobos led 28-17 through two quarters.

The Lobos came out of halftime with the same energy they had in the second. They scored 17 points and held the Falcons scoreless in the third. The Lobos’ defense took the field first to start the quarter and made an immediate impact. It helped the offense out, forcing a turnover on downs and setting them up in Air Force territory.

The offense then proceeded to find the end zone in only two plays.

The defense took the field again and impacted the game again, as linebacker Dimitri Johnson was able to recover a fumble to set the offense up near midfield. The Lobos converted the turnover into 3 points, extending the lead.

The defense once again took the field and forced another turnover on downs, which the offense capitalized on as Eli Sanders took it 31 yards to the house, extending the Lobo lead.

The Lobos held a comfortable 45-17 at the end of third.

By the time the fourth quarter arrived, Air Force was playing for pride. In the fourth, the Lobos added onto their lead, scoring another touchdown. While Air Force scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the game was already too far out of reach, and the Lobos took home the win.

The Lobos have now won two games in a row — looking like a different team than in the past four weeks.

Head Coach Bronco Mendenhall attributed this to the team becoming more experienced.

“We are becoming more seasoned, more experienced and more confident,” Mendenhall said. “I feel rhythm and optimism growing.”

A big factor for the offense was Dampier, who finished the game with 179 yards and a touchdown through the air. He also showcased his dual-threat abilities by having two rushing touchdowns with 50 yards rushing on 11 carries. He connected with Wysong early in the game, as Wysong had six receptions for 53 yards by halftime.

Who’s the fattest bear of them

rode her dominant performance all the way to the championship, as she earned herself a spot.

Fat Bear Week, an event that is held every year in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve to decide who the cutest and fattest bear is before they go into hibernation, kicked off its voting on Oct. 2.

The event is a single-elimination tournament where the highest-voted bear gets to advance to the next round, according to Fat Bear Week’s website. This year, 12 bears competed against each other to be crowned the winner of Fat Bear Week.

Notable matchups included 128 Grazer vs. 909Jr. on Oct. 4. Grazer — a mama bear and fan favorite — dominated this race with 73,018 votes, compared to 909Jr.’s 16,688. Grazer

Another notable matchup was 32 Chunk vs. 151 Walker on Oct. 7. This was the matchup to determine who would go to the championship on the other side of the bracket. Chunk had a bit of swagger and momentum coming into the match, which caught voters’ eyes. He was riding high, as he easily showed who the fatter bear was, earning 52,558 votes to advance — more than twice as many votes as Walker in that round.

With all that, the championship was set. Grazer was looking for a repeat against Chunk, the new bear on the block. Chunk killed Grazer’s cub earlier this year, according to Alaska Public Media. A lot was riding on the vote: a cold-blooded killer vs. a mama trying to reclaim her title.

There were a lot of eyes on the competition, and on Oct. 8, the results were in. Chunk had amassed a solid 30,468 votes, but Grazer was able to make those look like amateur numbers. She received 71,248 votes, claiming the title of Fat Bear Week champion for the second year in a row.

It was clear that Chunk was bigger, but because of the controversy around the bear, Grazer was able to take the win — courtesy of her fans. In a post on X, live nature network explore.org described Grazer as the “first working mom to ever be crowned champion.”

“Luke is a really dependable guy,” Dampier said. “He’s earned my trust to go to him when we need him on downs, and he makes up for it.”

The Lobos will hit the road next week as they head into another Mountain West battle against the Utah State University Aggies.

REVIEW:

‘In the Summers’ featured at Albuquerque’s Guild Cinema

Starting on Oct. 4 and spanning four days, Albuquerque’s Guild Cinema played Colombian American filmmaker Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio’s debut feature “In the Summers.”

The film tells the story of Violeta and Eva, two sisters from Los Angeles who visit their father Vicente in Las Cruces, New Mexico every summer. Their story is told in four chapters that span four different summers, as the sisters grapple with first love, mental health, sexuality and — most importantly — their turbulent relationship with their father, who is an addict.

“In the Summers” originally premiered in January at the 40th Sundance Film Festival, taking home both the Grand Jury Prize for Best Film and the Director’s Award in the United States dramatic competition — making Lacorazza Samudio the first Latina filmmaker to win the latter, according to De Los.

Violeta and Eva are each played by three different actors throughout the course of the film, showing them as children, teenagers and eventually adults. This creates a feeling in the viewer’s mind that they are watching the sisters grow up in real time.

Filmed in Las Cruces and the surrounding area, “In the Summers” vividly portrays both the

natural beauty of New Mexico and the state’s rich Hispanic culture. Cinematographer Alejandro Mejía’s camera repeatedly strays to the desert landscape that surrounds the characters, positioning them as mere dots amid the vastness of the natural world.

In a pivotal scene, the two sisters and their father — along with Vicente’s youngest daughter and Violeta and Eva’s half sister, Natalia — take a trip to White Sands National Park.

The New Mexico landmark serves as a backdrop for a heartfelt moment of multigenerational bonding. After the father and elder daughters sled down the dunes, they have to coax a timid Natalia to take the plunge. The scene tenderly shows how communal Hispanic families are; every member of the family is involved in raising the next generation.

Lacorazza Samudio’s film shows off the Hispanic community of Las Cruces with pride. The sisters regularly shop at a neighborhood carniceria — or meat market — with its blue and red sign perfectly matching the radiant New Mexico sky.

Each time a new chapter begins, the chapter number is set against a tableau of different knickknacks, family portraits, props from the film and other signifiers of the characters’ identities. These arrangements, which are reminiscent of ofrendas — home altars constructed to remember deceased family members on Día de los Muertos — are a crucial addition to

the film’s lush visual language.

“In the Summers” features a considerable amount of lines spoken in Spanish, but subtitles are not included to translate these parts. Lacorazza Samudio explained this decision prior to the film, saying that the Spanish parts of the script go untranslated to better reflect the language barrier among some members of the Latin diaspora in the United States, according to Boston Hassle.

Vicente often speaks to his daughters in Spanish, and they respond to him in English. They clearly understand him, but choose to speak to him in their own first language, highlighting the fact that fluency in Spanish is decreasing among Hispanic American youth.

According to Pew Research Center, only 34% of third- or higher-generation Latinos can carry on a Spanish-language conversation “at least pretty well.”

Alongside the film’s focus on Hispanic American girlhood, “In the Summers” depicts what it is like to grow up Hispanic and Queer. Lacorazza Samudio, who identifies as Queer, beautifully renders Violeta’s journey in coming to terms with her sexuality, as she moves from awkwardly flirting with girls as a teenager to reveling in the joys of first love as a mature, self-assured lesbian.

Violeta is assisted in her coming out process by Carmen, a family friend who owns a bar that the characters frequent. She serves as an example for

Violeta of an out-and-proud lesbian who is confident and secure in her sexuality, even though it can be a point of contention between her and Vicente, whose subconscious conservative ideals can rear their ugly heads during arguments with Carmen.

“In the Summers” is radical in its depiction of two generations of Hispanic American lesbians, a group that is extremely underrepresented in media.

A striking debut, “In the Sum-

mers” stands as a representation of the Hispanic American experience that is heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure — one that announces Lacorazza Samudio as a singular voice in American independent cinema.

event impactful.

“My 5-year-old son and 7-year-old daughter are obsessed,” Lawrey said. “Henry, my son, is the reason we’re here today. He loves the Spider Pig balloon, and his excitement for the balloons reminds me that it’s supposed to be fun.”

In addition to the morning ascensions, the Fiesta offered a packed schedule of activities, including balloon rides, live music and food vendors featuring local cuisine. Evening events, such as the “Glowdeo” — in which balloons are grounded but illuminated against the night sky — were also a crowd favorite.

The Fiesta, which began in 1972 with just 13 balloons, has grown into a beloved tradition that attracts hundreds of thousands of guests each year, according to its website.

Organizers emphasized the importance of safety and environmental stewardship to ensure the event continues to be a cherished highlight of Albuquerque’s cultural landscape, ac-

cording to the Balloon Fiesta Media Booklet.

Although many Fiesta-goers are from New Mexico, people travel from all over the country and world to see the balloons, like Steve Richardson from Madison, Wisconsin, whose daughter goes to the University of New Mexico.

“We only found out about the festival because our daughter is a freshman at UNM and we said we’d see her for fall break,” Richardson said. “Our family is from up north. We would never have known about this. It’s almost unbelievable. I have never seen anything like this before.”

The festival ran through Sunday, Oct. 13.

“The balloons remind me to take a breath and enjoy the moment,” Sisneros said. “It’s truly breathtaking every time. I can never get tired of that colorful sky.”

Palestine walkout from page 1

“They’re suffering, living in tents, and then having to relocate to different places constantly,” Castro said.

Freshman Mariana Gamez said she attended the walkout because she cannot believe the war in Gaza is still ongoing.

Kency Cornejo is a UNM associate professor of art history who joined students in the walkout.

“I’m here, as a faculty member at the University of New Mexico, to stand with my students in their demand and struggle for justice in Palestine,” Cornejo said.

“I’m glad that people are coming together and talking about it here and having this protest,” Gamez said.

HAPS

Cornejo is part of Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine, which is a group from all UNM campuses that has been organizing and pushing UNM to divest from Israel, she said.

Cornejo shared some of the views of the group.

“We’re fighting for all the professors, the scholars in Palestine who

have lost their lives who have been targeted; for all the universities that have been obliterated by Israel; for all the students who have not been able to continue their education because of this war on their humanity,” Cornejo said.
