Close to the heart of civilization, Turkey’s culinary community is well known for its inventions including the doner kebab or shawarma. These colorful dishes were on full display at the Albuquerque Turkish Festival on Saturday, May 2.

During the festival, participants were serenaded by the Baglama, a Turkish stringed instrument typically played traditional music.

The spring carnival known as Lobopalooza arrived at the University of New Mexico's Cornell Mall on Wednesday, April 29. During the event, students unwinded with a variety of activities including mini golf, bungee trampolines, inflatable obstacle courses, food, a dunk tank and more.

For those looking for artistry, there was a balloon artist and a face paint section. One of the other events included a version of darts with soccer, with an inflated target dart board where people would try to kick soccer balls to hit a bullseye.

As

of International Workers' Day, which falls every year on May 1.

Among the union organizations were the United Graduate Workers of the University of New Mexico and United Academics of UNM.

UNM graduate students Mark Campbell and Samantha Higgins were tabling with UGW-UNM, and said their union was at the May Day event to show solidarity

with other workers and asking community members to call on UNM interim provost Barbara Rodriguez to support their demands for higher wages.

“Grad workers are a part of the working class community here in Albuquerque,” Campbell said.

“Workers are what makes the city run, workers are what makes the world run, and so events like this are super important to show solidarity.”

UNM PhD student Amy Hulshoff expressed frustration with her minimal salary raise over seven years with an increased workload, saying that her tuitionpaying undergraduate students are being “ripped off,” in her introductory art class.

“(My students) are supposedly

paying the same that they would get from a tenured professor but they’re getting this like, ‘half teacher,’ right?”

Hulshoff said. “ We’re the ones that make the University run, we need the financial support to focus on our studies and doing the best jobs we can as students and as educators, because we really do love our University and we want to be able to do the best job we can, and we can’t work if we can’t eat.”

Rio Grande already dry as summer approaches

By Cayden Flores @DailyLobo

When some people hear the name Rio Grande, they might expect a river filled with water. But as they get closer, it becomes clearer that is not the case.

Compared to past years, there is very little water because of the lack of rain or snow this year. The river had areas where the bottom was visibly dry. In some sections, the water had receded over 20 feet from the normal width of the river. When walking around, there were only a few patches of grass that were green; most of the grass was dry and dying.

Mother’s Day celebrations started early at El Vado Motel with the “In Her Mom Era” Mother’s Day Market, filling their courtyard with homegoods, food, jewelry and crafts from local businesses on Saturday, May 2.

The event welcomed all ages with free entry. For some guests, the market served as the perfect spot to spend a laid-back day with family or find those special, last-minute gifts for Mother’s Day.

Visitors had a variety of choices available for food and drinks, as the market hosted vendors with a matcha bar, pastries and michoacana snacks.

Live music was performed throughout the market, by artists Anything But That Band and Gilbert Uribe, who are both local to Albuquerque.

On Monday, April 27, the Bliss Building, which houses the historic Lindy’s Diner, suffered a partial collapse. The building famously stood along Route 66 for 97 years of restaurant business, as Lindy’s Diner was established in 1929, but under the name Coney Island Cafe. The restaurant was renamed as Lindy’s Diner in 1960, and has remained a staple destination in Albuquerque since.

Lindy’s Diner has been visited by many celebrities including Jason Isaacs, Alice Eve, Jonathan Banks and Danny Trejo. The vintage atmosphere in the diner is one of their most memorable aspects of the restaurant, in

addition to their renowned burgers and other New Mexican style dishes.

On April 20, following multiple safety inspections, the building was red-tagged and issued an emergency shutdown order due to concerns about potential structural collapse, according to the City of Albuquerque. Currently, the building and surrounding areas are blocked off by city officials due to ongoing structural instability and safety concerns and are being monitored by the Albuquerque Police Department as the next steps are determined for the building.

When walking through campus, students, staff, faculty and visitors might hear a loud buzzing noise coming from the flowers that dot the University’s landscape. The noise, heard most prominently around Johnson Center, comes from hundreds of ground bees. Some larger and more colorful bumblebees can also be found, though not buzzing quite as loudly as the ground bees when in flight. They appear more calm, illustrated by their proximity to a busy area like the Student Union Building.

Lobos taken out by Aggies in extra innings thriller

By Alex Joe @DailyLobo

The University of New Mexico Lobos returned home to Santa Ana Star Field, after a tough series in Washington State, to face their instate rivals, the New Mexico State Aggies, on Tuesday, April 28.

The third time would not be a charm for UNM, as they came up short 16-15 in a wild, back and forth 10-inning slugfest. The Lobos needed an answer, down 3 runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, and they would retake the lead 109, but New Mexico State tied it up at the top of the eighth to send the game to extra innings.

The 10th inning was madness, as the Aggies scored 6 runs.

Once again, the Lobos needed an answer, which came from infielder/ outfielder Antonio Gianni, who hit a grand slam with the bases loaded. However, it would not be enough, as the Lobos would lose 16-15.

The Lobos went on to lose their series 2-1 against the Air Force Academy Falcons, and will be traveling to Phoenix to play Grand Canyon University Friday to Sunday, May 8-10.

Lowriders roll into Albuquerque Rail Yards

By George Slad @SladGeorge

On Saturday, May 2, the Cinco De Mayo Lowrider Fiesta at the Albuquerque Rail Yards brought together families, car enthusiasts and community members for a lively gathering. Rows of customized lowriders — featuring highly detailed paint, chrome finishes and hydraulic systems — filled the space and drew

a steady crowd throughout the day. With over 150 cars and several motorcycles on display, visitors stopped by to take photos and talk with owners about their cars. From classic Chevrolets and Cadillacs to newer builds, each car was meticulously maintained by their owners.

Live music and a variety of food and merchandise vendors were present. People of all ages came

together in this welcoming space, celebrating one of Albuquerque’s most unique traditions and making good use of the historic Rail Yards.

Albuquerque community creates handmade ‘kites

By Leila Chapa & Paloma Chapa @lchapa06

& @paloma_chapa88

“If I Must Die,” a poem written by Palestinian professor and writer Refaat Alareer, who was killed in an Israeli airstrike in North Gaza, inspired Albuquerque community members to launch a large-scale art project.

The ongoing project involves the making of 21,907 origami kites to honor the children who have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza between Oct. 7, 2023 and September 2025.

“If I must die, you must live, to tell my story, to sell my things, to buy a piece of cloth, and some strings, (make it white with a long tail),” the poem reads.

Palestinian American and local business owner of Noor Sweets and Eats Antoinette Khader helped make several of the kites.

“(The kites) bring humanity

to the children that were killed in Gaza, so (the project) helps to process the grief and to really realize these are actual people,” Khader said. “They’re not just numbers.”

Each kite is printed with the name and age of a child who was killed.

“So that a child, somewhere in Gaza, while looking heaven in the eye, awaiting his dad who left in a blaze, and bid no one farewell, not even to his flesh, not even to himself, sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above,” the poem reads.

Hundreds of birds find home in Albuquerque landscapes

By Leila Chapa @lchapa06

Albuquerque is home to many species of birds finding habitat across the city, whether they are nesting in the thousands of acres of public open space, finding shelter in the over 250 city park sites or making a home out of a city building or residential backyard.

Over 300 bird species can be observed over the course of a year, according to Visit Albuquerque. Albuquerque invites both urban dwellers like mourning doves and wild birds like curved-billed

thrashers and woodpeckers to coexist in the city’s diversity of landscapes.

With the increasingly arid climate, bird baths provide relief for birds to drink water and bathe as they travel across expanses of urban landscape. Healthy soils provide habitat for insect life including earthworms, which birds hunt for food.

call on PNM to ‘change their mind’ on Blackstone deal

Community Relations for PNM Lisa Goodman wrote a response to the protest.

Protesters rallied outside of PNM’s headquarters on Thursday, April 30 to protest against Blackstone Infrastructure’s proposed acquisition of PNM, calling for the utility to “change their mind” and “say no to Blackstone” through sung musical lyrics.

“We respect their right to protest. We respectfully disagree with their factually inaccurate assertions,” the Goodman statement reads.

Community organizer Sarah Bradley was among those protesting outside of PNM’s headquarters, and said she thinks it’s an “outrage” that New Mexico’s public services are “potentially being sold off to private equity.”

attorneys for the nonprofit Prosperity Works filed a motion requesting that Blackstone and its affiliate Troy TopCo LP — who made the $400 million purchase — be ordered to show why the transaction without prior authorization from the PRC did not violate the New Mexico Public Utilities Act, which states that PRC approval is required.

Warm welcomes to UNM’s newest ducklings

By Preston Rogers @PrestonRog84055

Upon first entering the Duck Pond, visitors may be shocked at the absence of some of our feathered friends. However, after exploring or even waiting around for a bit, visitors may come across the newest little family of 10 ducklings at the University of New Mexico.

Duck Pond goers may often notice them following their mother around as they swim through the pond or up against the edge as they get curious about the wall. If they’re lucky, visitors can find them cuddled up together resting on top of rocks on the north east side of the pond.

The ‘GOATS’ of ecosystem restoration

By Maria Fernandez @DailyLobo

On Saturday, May 2, the Open Space Visitor Center in Albuquerque hosted “Goat Grazing at the OSVC,” a community event where attendees interacted with goats and learned how goat grazing

can help with land maintenance.

Visitors admired and held goats from Habitat Farms, a local farming company. The event also brought community members together with younger goats, whose ages ranged from five days to two weeks old, to learn about different goat breeds, characteristics and how to

care for goats.
