Film students reeling in the face of an uncertain economy have a new resource to help hone their tal-ent and tap into the local industry.

Students in the UNM cinemat-ic arts program formed the UNM Film Association earlier this se-mester, the � rst club of its kind at the University.

Kindra Aschenbrenner, a junior and sociology major, intends to bike across the United States this summer, fulfilling her lifelong dream. Aschenbrenner, along with her sister, leave mid-May on a 10-week bike trip along the northern U.S., beginning in Portland, Ore., through Ontario, Cana-da, and ending in New York City. Aschenbrenner, who has been planning this trip for almost two years, shared insights on how students can plan their own cross-country bike trip.

Show Me How

to bike across the country

Several websites, such as AdventureCycling.org, outline plans and resources for bicyclists interested in cross-country trips. These re-

sources include lists of rest areas and camping sites as well as blogs from bicyclists who have actually taken these trips. The site also includes group trips in which bicyclists can take part, and guided tours for families. It is important to have an established plan and stick to it for safety (and sanity) purposes.

Aschenbrenner said it took her a couple of years to save for the trip. Your trip can be cheap or expensive, depending on your

route. If the plan is to bike through several large cities and stay at hostels or motels, you’ll need money to pay for rooms. Aschenbrenner, who will bike primarily through rural areas, is budgeting $80 per week for food, including groceries and eating out. Decide what the biking plan calls for financially, and plan how much money you will be spent each week.

“We are trying to be as minimalist as possible,” Aschenbrenner said. She plans to bring a couple of pannier bags, which are bicy-

cle side-bags, and fill them with hygiene items; a couple of T-shirts and pairs of bike shorts; a sleeping bag; a camp stove; and a tent. Other items she will keep on hand are small snacks, a lot of water, a journal, her passport, and money.

As is the case with any expedition into unexplored territory, safety should be a priority. Aschenbrenner plans to bring pepper spray, and

will call her family to update them regularly. Traveling in a group or with another person is also a means of protection. Think about safety in the early steps of the plan-ning process.

The final piece of advice Aschenbrenner offered was, “If you want to do something, don’t just think about it. One of my favorite quotes is

‘What is life but to dream and do.’ The first step was deciding to go.”

ALBUQUERQUE — The ex-ecutive director of the Bernalillo County GOP was suspended Wednesday for making inappro-priate social media comments about women testifying for a min-imum wage hike.

During a Tuesday night Bernalillo County commission meeting, a Twitter comment from the account of Bernalillo County Republican Party Executive Di-rector Steve Kush referred to a volunteer who was testifying on behalf of Working America as a “radical bitch.”

Then, as that same group’s di-rector, Chelsey Evans, waited to testify, there was a comment from Kush’s Facebook account that said, “Uh oh another Working America chick … nice boots.”

Bob Cornelius, the county par-ty’s former executive director, re-plied, “Maybe she used those shoes to walk Central,” a reference to a street in Albuquerque known for prostitution.

A follow-up post from Kush’s account said the woman was “hot enough to almost make me register democrat.”

A statement from Bernalillo County GOP Chair Frank Ruvo-lo on Wednesday afternoon said Kush had been suspended without pay indefinitely for his “insensitive remarks.”

Kush then issued a formal apol-ogy, saying the remarks on his per-sonal Facebook page “were both insensitive and inappropriate. I regret my now obvious ill-fated at-tempt at humor.”

Cornelius apologized on Face-book and to the woman person-ally. Cornelius said he was not at the meeting and did not know Ev-ans, but that he had reached out to her first thing Wednesday morning and apologized for what he called inappropriate, unfair and degrad-ing comments.

“I’ve been thinking about my comment last night. I did make that comment in jest & I do apologize to this lady for this off color com-ment,” the updated post reads. “It’s not fair to her, and it was inappro-priate for me to makes comments like that.”

The exchanges were circulated Wednesday morning by the liberal-leaning ProgressNow, which criti-cized the GOP for attacking hard-working women.

“If the Republican Party wants

to know why they have such a hard time connecting with young wom-en, they should start by examining the very public way their leaders feel about young working wom-en,” Pat Davis, executive director of ProgressNow New Mexico, said in a press release. “Mr. Kush, Mr. Corne-lius and the Republican Party owe these particular women an apology as public as the forum where they chose to attack them.”

State GOP Chairman John Billingsley issued an apology to the women individually, and “to the women of New Mexico.”

Evans said she was disappoint-ed by the attacks.

“Comments like those have no place in public discourse,” she said in an email.

“Despite these degrading com-ments,” she wrote, “we are focused on celebrating a victory in Bernalillo County for all of working families, and we applaud all the hard work by our members, organizers and activists, and we will continue to push this effort statewide.”

The commission voted 3-2 to raise the minimum wage in the county’s unincorporated areas to $8.50 an hour, matching the wage approved by Albuquerque voters in November.

NM GOP bigwig suspended

the country in more than six years to slaughter horses, with a successful inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

At issue is whether horses are live-stock or pets, and whether it is more humane to slaughter them domesti-cally than to ship tens of thousands of neglected, unwanted and wild horses thousands of miles to be slaughtered in Mexico or Canada.

Front and center in the debate is Rick De Los Santos, who, along with his wife, Sarah, has for more than two decades worked this small slaugh-terhouse, taking in mostly cows that were too old or sick to travel with larg-er herds to the bigger slaughterhous-es for production.

Now, with cattle herds shrink-ing amid an ongoing drought, De Los Santos says he and his wife are just trying to transform their busi-ness and make enough money to re-tire. They’re seeking to slaughter do-mestically some of the thousands of horses that De Los Santos says trav-el through the state every month on their way to what are oftentimes less humane and less regulated plants south of the border.

“They are being slaughtered any-way. We thought, well, we will slaugh-ter them here and provide jobs for the economy,” De Los Santos said.

Instead, Valley Meat has been en-snarled in a yearlong political drama that has left the plant idle and its own-ers the target of vandalism and death threats — warnings that increased af-ter humane groups found a video a former plant worker posted of him-self cursing at animal activists, then shooting one of his own horses to eat.

“People are saying, ‘We will slit your throat in your sleep. We hope you die. We hope your kids die,’” De Los Santos said. “Sometimes it’s scary. … And it’s all for a horse.”

Indeed, voicemails left on the company’s answering machine spew hate and wishes for violence upon the family.

“I hope you burn in hell,” said one irate woman who called repeatedly, saying, “You better pack your (exple-tive) bags (expletive) and get out of there because that place is finished.”

The couple have hired security and turned over phone records to federal authorities. They are, nevertheless, surprisingly candid about their plans, offering media access to the 7,200-square-foot slaughterhouse with one kill floor and two processing rooms

that De Los Santos says can process 50 to 100 horses a day.

“It’s complicated, this industry of feeding the world,” Sarah De Los San-tos says matter-of-factly. The meat would be processed for human con-sumption and exported to countries in eastern Europe and Asia.

Attorney Blair Dunn says agricul-ture officials found no issues at Valley Meat Co. during Tuesday’s inspection and told the owners they are recom-mending a grant of inspection be is-sued immediately.

The plant passed a similar in-spection last year but then was told it couldn’t begin operations until the USDA developed an acceptable test to measure the horse meat for drug residue.

It wasn’t until the plant sued the USDA for blocking its application that the agency earlier this year agreed to move forward with the inspections necessary to allow Valley Meat Co. and about a half-dozen other plants around the country to slaughter horses.

But the Obama administration wants to prohibit such slaughters. The administration’s 2014 budget request excludes money for inspectors for horse slaughter plants, which would effectively keep them from operating.

The USDA did not respond to an email from The Associated Press asking about the inspection process and whether a drug test has been developed.

But Dunn said Department of Jus-tice lawyers repeatedly have assured him that there are no impediments to the plant opening. Dunn says he expects final approval for the plant to come in a matter of days.

“Everyone is talking about this as a humane issue,” De Los Santos said. “This is not a humane issue. It’s politics.”

Humane groups and politicians including Gov. Susana Martinez and New Mexico Attorney General Gary King strongly oppose the plant. They argue that horses are iconic animals in the West, and that other solutions and more funding for horse rescue and birth control programs should be explored over slaughter.

Fueling opposition is a recent up-roar in Europe over horse meat being found in products labeled as beef.

Still others are pushing for a return to domestic slaughter. Proponents in-clude several Native American tribes, the American Quarter Horse Associa-tion, some livestock associations and even a few horse rescue groups that believe domestic slaughter would be more humane than shipping the ani-mals elsewhere.

They point to a 2011 report from the U.S. Government Accountabili-ty Office that found horse abuse and abandonment increasing since Con-gress effectively banned horse slaugh-ter by cutting funding for federal in-spection programs in 2006. Because rescue groups can’t take care of all of the horses in need, tens of thousands have been shipped to slaughterhous-es in Mexico.

In this mostly agricultural town, touted on its welcome sign as the Dairy Capital of the Southwest, there is surprisingly little uproar over the plant.

“I was against it,” said Larry Con-nolly, a retiree having coffee at Star-bucks last week. “Then I started talk-ing to some ranchers. They said they were for it. So I’m neutral.”

Local horse trader and former rancher Dave McIntosh said opening the plant would be the “best thing for the welfare of horses.”

But Sheriff Rob Coon said he be-lieves most people in town oppose the plant. His office was inundated with calls and emails from irate peo-ple after the horse-killing video was discovered online last month. The former Valley Meat worker posted the video more than a year ago in re-sponse to animal activists opposed to horse slaughter.

“A lot of the ranchers are for it, sim-ply because they want a place to take a horse rather than starve it out,” he said. “But it’s not our society. We don’t eat horses.”

Journalism: the best option for creative writing majors who can’t seem to finish their first novel.

Not convinced? I know it may seem to be a daunting transition, but apparently investigating and reporting the straight facts is more difficult than churning out a mass work of fiction.

I am not talking about every journal-ist out there. Some of them really try to get to the bottom of things. But those en-deavors tend to take up too much time, and for news outlets trying to crank out news round the clock, it’s a hassle they’re less willing to put up with. It’s not as if the public will ever stop watching or reading the news, so what is the harm in dressing a dry turkey in cranberry sauce to make it more appealing?

The people who participate in or con-done this kind of journalism don’t care a lick about media consumers. They care about our money. Hence, the heinous coverage of the two explosions at the Bos-ton Marathon.

First, it was the “Saudi national” de-scribed over and over as a “person of interest.”

What’s his ethnicity got to do with anything?

Why was he considered a POI?A “civilian” saw the man running from

the explosion, ran after him and tackled him. Police followed the man to the hos-pital and questioned him. I think I might run away from an explosion, too. Wouldn’t anybody? Finally, the media clarified he was being treated as a witness, but it was too late to take back that kind of damage.

Salah Eddin Barhoum was featured on the front page of the New York Post with

his friend Yassine Zaime. The headline: “Bag men: Feds seek these two pictured at Boston Marathon.” Barhoum told The Associated Press he has been afraid to go outside ever since for fear of being blamed for the attack.

The Tsarnaev brothers of Chechnya were soon the target of slanted media cov-erage. The evidence is piled up pretty high; it would be hard to argue that they prob-ably aren’t the culprits. But news coverage insisted on the Islamic-extremist angle. These are a few of my most hated things:

Mother Jones, self-described source of “smart, fearless journalism,” published “What These Tweets Tell Us About Boston Bombing Suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.” In the lead to the story, the magazine edi-torializes, telling the reader the selected tweets are odd, mundane and chilling. This tweet is included in the introduction: “The value of human life ain’t shit nowa-days.” But near the end of the piece, you see what the tweet actually said: “The val-ue of human life ain’t shit nowadays that’s #tragic.”

Slate.com published “Meet the Mus-lims Quoted, Cited, and Favorited by the Boston Bombing Suspects.”

TheDailyBeast.com published “The Sheikh Who May Have Influenced Bos-ton’s Tsarnaev Brothers.”

Bloomberg.com published “Chechen

Conflict Spawned Terrorism With Sepa-ratist Jihad.”

Here is the problem with these head-lines and the pathetic attempts at jour-nalism that follow: They make this crime about more than the suspects. The sto-ries attempt to establish a connection be-tween the suspects and Islam. Ever since 9/11, there has been a limited subset of the Muslim community represented in our media. We see bodies, gun fire and explo-sions. We also saw just a slice of life there, which is all that the media portrays.

Clearly, the media can’t be trusted to give us all we need in the way of informa-tion. It’s not as if they are literally fabri-cating news, but they are masters at taking bits of juicy material and making do. Here are some of the news values that deter-mine what is worthy of broadcast: timeli-ness, the bizarre, human interest, danger, relevance. This means there is a handful of people making decisions about what they think everyone wants to see. So we are saturated with media that is dominat-ed by just a few perspectives.

There are endless perspectives; nobody sees eye to eye on everything, and we nev-er will. But we put ourselves in a danger-ous position when we limit ourselves to the few viewpoints available in the main-stream media. There is no objectivity. We have our perspective. It is informed by our biological tendencies — DNA and such — and everything we experience from birth until death. The mainstream media is such a ubiquitous part of our lives now that it is essential we view it through a critical lens. Everything you see may be there in real-ity, but that doesn’t mean it is an accurate portrayal. It is one of many possible ways of seeing, none of which is wrong, just dif-ferent. See what’s out there, and make up your own mind about what you believe.

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” This is the question we young people are asked all throughout our lives. It is a daunting question that evolves in seriousness as you grow older. The high school class of 2013 is now being asked that question. However, this time, “princess” and “cowboy” just won’t do any-more. We are being forced to make life-altering decisions. Which school? Which major? And with what money?

As the school year comes to a close, most of the seniors have unsure answers to all of those terrible and ominous questions. God forbid we use the dreaded term “undecided” and have our peers and elders turn their noses up at us. My practiced and polished response is “double major in communications and journalism and psychology at UNM.” But how am I supposed to know if that won’t change in the fall? Our de-cisions used to be blissfully insignificant, and now, all of a sudden, they actually matter and will matter for the rest of our lives.

The entire process of going to college is a sick game. We are forced to take a test that will alter our future. It begins with the herding of hopeful high school seniors and juniors into a room for several hours where they begin the monotony of test taking. The irony is that the testing administrators take 30 minutes of your testing time to explain to you how to fill in a circle accurately. So they expect you to write a five-paragraph essay that’s properly format-ted in 30 minutes, but they don’t expect you to know how to fill in a circle?

This isn’t just some form of cruel and un-usual punishment. This is the antagonist of the high school senior, the ACT. This test can decide where you go to school and how much money you can get from that school. No pres-sure, right?

Then, when the results come in, they are never satisfactory. But I suppose they will have to do. Next, the mass exodus of applications begins. Some are answered with a letter of ac-ceptance. With that acceptance comes the re-alization of the new debt you will learn to be accustomed to. Some return with the dreadful letter that lets you know that your hard work and cumulative 4.7 GPA just weren’t what they were looking for.

It is a maddening process that seems to only get worse. Let’s say you actually decide where to go. Now you have to decide where to live, on or off campus, and how to pay for it. The massive amount of pressure that high school seniors and incoming freshmen face is outrageous.

The biggest feat in all of this is keeping your sanity. If you can just get to graduation day and accept that diploma with all of your sanity in-tact, I think the rest just has to fall into place.

Erda Gardens ad-ministrator Aman-da Rich ran her soil-caked hands through a bed of plants Wednesday afternoon, her fin-

gertips searching for a ready plant to pluck. Rich’s hands have seen several years at the garden, and as she rinsed off two bright purple beets, she said the act of tending a garden has become therapeutic for her.

“We go through cycles of growth and fruition and dieback in our lives, and to watch that happen in the natural world, to watch things spring out of the earth out of noth-ing out of the winter, to go and pro-duce 20 whole pounds of tomatoes and then fall back in the winter and die o� , and to watch that, the hu-man psyche, we relate to it, we con-nect to it and it resonates with us,” she said.

Erda Gardens was founded in 1996 by Franciscan nun and peace activist Marie Nord as a project to promote peace and harmony on the planet, Rich said. “Erda” is the Old High German word for “Earth,” and Erda Gardens uses biodynam-ic practices. As such, the garden is raised through three principles. First, gardening is approached ho-listically: What can be recycled or reused for the garden will be. Sec-ond, the garden is prepared with a healing homeopathic tea that’s sprayed over the growing beds. Fi-nally, seeds are planted and plants taken care of according to an as-

trological calendar. � e phase of the moon and the positions of the planets determine which leaf and root plants will be tended.

“There’s a spiritual compo-nent to it, raising the plants with a consciousness or a kindness,” Rich said.

� e community-supported agriculture program has several locations in the South Valley of Albuquerque and allows people to help fund the garden with money or volunteered labor. � e program has 60 families funding the farm. Erda Gardens also o� ers classes throughout the year, including a kids summer farm camp and a course about the basics of chicken coops.

� e main garden has several rows of beds, each of which is lined with growing greens such as cilan-tro and rainbow chard. Past the growing vegetables is a small chick-en coop, a pen for baby goats and a small greenhouse of garlic seed-lings. On one side of the garden are two beehives, and on the other is a large pile of manure.

Rich has worked at the com-munity’s main garden in the South Valley for the past six years. Rich said she grew up in southern Idaho, digging up potatoes for her grand-father and picking � owers in her mother’s garden as a young child. Rich began work at the farm in 2007 as a volunteer, balancing her work at Erda Gardens with her job as a social worker.

“It was a real stressful job. You’re dealing with people who have really hard lives, hard times, tough things going on, and to come to the garden felt really peaceful, really grounding — a way to shed some of the residual stress,” she said.

Over time, Rich said, she shifted her focus to the farm. By 2011, Rich’s involvement with the farm became full-time.

“It takes a lot of trust to say these 60 people will come up with my payroll every year,” she said. “Just leaving your steady job with insurance and bene� ts to work for really low wages, really hard work

every day … a lot of people would say, ‘You’re crazy,’ but I feel so happy.”

Treasurer Kevin Hawk began working with Erda Gardens four years ago. Since then, Hawk has donated money and a truck to the farm. Community gardens and farms like Erda Gardens help em-power people, Hawk said.

“It’s a philosophy. I think it’s important that people move away from corporate food, make their own decisions, empower them-selves to grow their food and make decisions about how they eat,” Hawk said.

UNM alumnus Steven Emmons placed hooks in the soil Wednesday afternoon before rolling a white tarp over a newly laid bed. Emmons, an intern, began working for Erda Gardens last week. He had previously worked in the admissions

office of an art school in Portland, Maine. Emmons said he came back to New Mexico to work outside the confines of an office.

“I needed a little bit more spiri-tuality in my life, and I think one of the ways that I wanted to connect to that is through farming and work-ing outside and observing plants, watching food grow, working with animals,” Emmons said.

Emmons said that although he’s only worked a week at the farm, he’s been impressed with what grows in the area.

“You look at this ground and it looks like it’s just dirt and sand and crap,” he said. “It’s really kind of amazing that here — in the arid Southwest and in what seems to be kind of like an area you wouldn’t expect to grow anything — there’s really a lot prospering here.”

Erda Gardens from page 8

Above Erda Gardens follows the principles of biodynamic farming, which means different seeds are planted according to the moon cycles. This is the biodynamic sowing and planting calendar for May. The white bars indicate a time when those crops will flourish. When the white bar is paired with the gray bar it is the ideal day to plant that crop.

Left A volunteer worker at Erda Gardens unrolls a screen over the plants to protect them from the en-vironment. The community-supported agriculture pro-gram has several locations in the South Valley of Albu-querque and allows people to help fund the garden with money or volunteered labor. The program has 60 fami-lies funding and working at the farm.

A man and woman embrace on a dark stage, pulling each other close in a loving dance. In the space of a few minutes, they are both on their backs. The man appears to be dead, but the woman stands and slinks back to the shadows.

“Inside Look” is the semiannual student choreography showcase put on by the De-partment of Theatre and Dance. It represents the culmination of a semesterlong process wherein student choreographers work with faculty mentors, dancers and lighting tech-nicians to produce a compilation of dance performances.

“It’s a student showcase, but it’s similar to what you would see in the professional world in terms of the quality of choreography and of the quality of the dancers,” student direc-tor Emily Bryan said.

Bryan is a second-year graduate student who is directing “Traces,” one of the featured performances. Since she began developing it last fall, she said her piece has changed quite a bit. The event’s hands-on approach to learning for student choreographers is what makes the showcase exciting to develop for, she said.

“What’s exciting about student choreog-raphers is that they’re developing their ar-tistic voice through this process,” Bryan said. “Every semester’s showcase is completely different and new.”

“Inside Look” features nine performanc-es developed by nine choreographers: “(in)Flux” and “Down to the Wire” by Peter Ben-nett; “Aureola” by Esteban E. Garza; “Sin Compas” by Ysabela Trujillo; “Farruca” by Dolores Garcia; “Duet por Alegrias” by Lydia Johnson Gallegos and Yarrow Perea; “Solo” by Radi Shafie; “/peculiar” by Lisa Nevada; and “Traces” by Emily Bryan.

Topics explored in the showcase include dreams, romance and procrastination. The performances will incorporate a blend of many different styles, such as modern dance and traditional flamenco.

Hands-on learning culminates in dance showcase

Dancer Dalton Valerio will be performing in three of the nine pieces. Valerio, a biology major, said work on this semester’s showcase tested him both physically and emotionally.

“The choreographers really challenge the dancers to find a meaning behind what we’re doing,” Valerio said. “They’ll give us a general meaning of what the piece is about … and they’ll tell us to take that meaning and really run with it.”

Bryan said that although choreographers

assign meaning to each piece, audience members should not have to understand a piece to enjoy it.

“The best thing to do when you’re watch-ing a dance concert and you don’t know anything about dance is to be very open-minded and not necessarily try to figure out the meaning behind each piece,” Bryan said. “As long as you open yourself up to the experience and enjoy it, you’ll get some-thing out of it.”
