Show delivers healthy dose of homegrown drama and comedy

Gianna M. May | October 19

The thought of performing on television seems to be a task for Hollywood giants, but a local group of actors accomplishes this feat with grandeur and finesse. New this year, the PA Project is a local television station that showcases Albuquerque talent, said Bre Stephens, the creator of the show. “It is not just a highlight of Albuquerque talent, but also a show for the world to see what we are doing,” she said.

Albuquerque Baths, located on Broadway Boulevard just south of Mountain Road, features four massage rooms, two hot tubs and a dry cedar sauna. The spa strives to be eco-friendly, heating its water solely through solar power.

Schmidly appoints acting president

Chelsea Erven | October 18

In an e-mail sent Monday, UNM President David Schmidly announced his appointment of Paul Roth as acting President until Schmidly is given medical clearance to return. In a University-wide statement, Schmidly said he is gradually recovering from an Aug. 17 operation, and his medical team advised him not to resume his normal schedule. Roth, the executive vice president for Health Sciences, became acting president after Schmidly discussed the matter with Roth and Board of Regents President Raymond Sanchez, said Billy Sparks, a Health Sciences Center spokesman. “As acting president, Roth will do all the normal day-to-day operations of the University as well as working with the regents, faculty and staff until Schmidly’s return,” he said. Roth is on vacation and was unavailable for comment Monday. Sparks said the decision to appoint an acting president was made based on existing regent policies. Schmidly has been on medical leave since Aug. 18. Sparks couldn’t say how much medical leave Schmidly has left. “It’s a legal question as well as very murky territory. What I can say is that hopefully by naming an acting president, Schmidly will be able to focus entirely on his recovery,” he said.

Mr. Gary, here is the key to the Lobo-mobile. There is no doubt that UNM point guard Dairese Gary is in the Lobos’ driver’s seat this season.

Gary said his teammates and coaches push him every day to become the best basketball player he can be. “Coach Alford is kind of tough,” he said.
