Travel Guide New Mexico tm, The Albuquerque Bio Park
The Albuquerque Biological Park is the Albuquerque Aquarium, Rio Grande Botanic Garden, Rio Grande Zoo and Tingley Beach.
The Albuquerque Aquarium takes visitors on a journey down the Rio Grande from Albuquerque to its mouth in the Gulf of Mexico. Fresh water riverine, estuarine, surf zone, shallow waters, coral reefs, open ocean and deep ocean species are represented along the way. Other highlights include an eel tunnel, seahorses, luminous jellies and a 285,000 gallon ocean tank where brown, sandtiger, blacktip and nurse sharks swim alongside brilliantly colored reef fish, eels, sea turtles and open ocean species.
The Rio Grande Botanic Garden is located across the plaza from the Albuquerque Aquarium and bordered on the west by the famed Rio Grande and the largest cottonwood gallery forest in the world, the lush and peaceful Rio Grande Botanic Garden is an oasis in the desert.
The Rio Grande Zoo was founded in 1927 and the 64-acre Rio Grande Zoo offers visitors close encounters with more than 250 species of exotic and native animals. Popular species include seals and sea lions, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, elephants, polar bears, giraffes, hippos, camels, tamarins, koalas, Mexican wolves, mountain lions, monkeys, jaguars, zebras and rhinoceros. State-of-the-art exhibit design and eye-pleasing landscaping enhance zoo animal husbandry by creating naturalistic habitats with trees, grasses, water features and rockwork. Walking distance through the zoo is about 2.25 miles.
Tingley Beach features three fishing lakes, a model boating pond and a train station with gift shop and food service. During the summer only, Tingley visitors can rent pedal boats and bicycles. Tingley Beach is open from sunrise to sunset every day of the year and is free to the general public on a first come, first served basis.
Inmates In New Mexico Restore Bikes For Those In Need
Monday through Friday Dennis Petsche works to restore bikes. His workshop is not at a bike shop or home business, but at the Southern New Mexico State Correctional Facility where Petsche has been an inmate for over twenty years.
The New Mexico Corrections Department recently started a bike restoration program where inmates restore bikes, and then give to those who may be in need in around the state. Petsche says he does enjoy working to give back to the community, but it also provides him the chance to stay busy.
“It gets me out and it keeps me motivated, instead of sitting around in there just moping,” says Petsche.
Sgt. Chris Barela with the New Mexico Corrections Department helped start the program at the facility. He shares what type of work gets done here.
“The inmates get a hold of the bike, strip it down and get what working parts they can get and make once functioning bike,” says Barela.
Inmate Luis Rios says that he did not even work on his own bike when he was a kid, so this has been a learning experience.
“So, just not knowing how the stuff goes. Learning on the way as it goes, that’s how we are learning,” says Rios.
Joe Castañeda, vocational instructor for the program has been working with the inmates on learning how to restore the bikes, some of which can be old or damaged.
“My main role here is to straighten the rims to the best of my abilities. We get some of them that are pretty bent and beat-up, but if these guys have any questions I try to answer them to the best of my abilities,” says Castañeda.
Besides, learning Luis Rios shares his favorite part of the restoration process.
“We get to ride them, testing them...Makes you feel free.”
Using their abilities to help out those in need is one of the joys that inmate Daniel Mares gets out of it.
“Giving back to the community…I spent most of my life robbing the community, so it kind of feels good,” says Mares.
The bike donations are accepted at the Adult Probation and Parole Office and Ride On Sports, both in Las Cruces.
David Hill with Ride on Sports says they have already received donations.
“They’re dropping of all kinds of bikes. Kids bikes, older bikes. We have had some students who are graduating and moving, and they come drop the bikes off. I guess they’re done with them. Most of them are in pretty decent shape and they will work out well for the prison,” says Hill.
Inmate Dennis Petsche says it is important to let people know that inmates can help the community.
“I’m no different then the day I walked in the door. I’ve learned a lot, and I want them to see that we do things and, and not just mope around and get into trouble in prison,” says Petsche.
The inmates who are working on the bikes say that with more donations and bike tools they can restore more bikes for those in need across the state.

Calling All Cars: The General Kills at Dawn / The Shanghai Jester / Sands of the Desert
The radio show Calling All Cars hired LAPD radio dispacher Jesse Rosenquist to be the voice of the dispatcher. Rosenquist was already famous because home radios could tune into early police radio frequencies. As the first police radio dispatcher presented to the public ear, his was the voice that actors went to when called upon for a radio dispatcher role.
The iconic television series Dragnet, with LAPD Detective Joe Friday as the primary character, was the first major media representation of the department. Real LAPD operations inspired Jack Webb to create the series and close cooperation with department officers let him make it as realistic as possible, including authentic police equipment and sound recording on-site at the police station.
Due to Dragnet's popularity, LAPD Chief Parker became, after J. Edgar Hoover, the most well known and respected law enforcement official in the nation. In the 1960s, when the LAPD under Chief Thomas Reddin expanded its community relations division and began efforts to reach out to the African-American community, Dragnet followed suit with more emphasis on internal affairs and community policing than solving crimes, the show's previous mainstay.
Several prominent representations of the LAPD and its officers in television and film include Adam-12, Blue Streak, Blue Thunder, Boomtown, The Closer, Colors, Crash, Columbo, Dark Blue, Die Hard, End of Watch, Heat, Hollywood Homicide, Hunter, Internal Affairs, Jackie Brown, L.A. Confidential, Lakeview Terrace, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Life, Numb3rs, The Shield, Southland, Speed, Street Kings, SWAT, Training Day and the Lethal Weapon, Rush Hour and Terminator film series. The LAPD is also featured in the video games Midnight Club II, Midnight Club: Los Angeles, L.A. Noire and Call of Juarez: The Cartel.
The LAPD has also been the subject of numerous novels. Elizabeth Linington used the department as her backdrop in three different series written under three different names, perhaps the most popular being those novel featuring Det. Lt. Luis Mendoza, who was introduced in the Edgar-nominated Case Pending. Joseph Wambaugh, the son of a Pittsburgh policeman, spent fourteen years in the department, using his background to write novels with authentic fictional depictions of life in the LAPD. Wambaugh also created the Emmy-winning TV anthology series Police Story. Wambaugh was also a major influence on James Ellroy, who wrote several novels about the Department set during the 1940s and 1950s, the most famous of which are probably The Black Dahlia, fictionalizing the LAPD's most famous cold case, and L.A. Confidential, which was made into a film of the same name. Both the novel and the film chronicled mass-murder and corruption inside and outside the force during the Parker era. Critic Roger Ebert indicates that the film's characters (from the 1950s) represent the choices ahead for the LAPD: assisting Hollywood limelight, aggressive policing with relaxed ethics, and a straight arrow approach.
