By Amy Landers
Albuquerque, NM - In its twenty-first year, the Zoo Music Concert Series promises great music and family fun each Friday night, June 17 – August 5, at the ABQ BioPark Zoo.

On June 17, The Blasters open the series with music that refuses to be labeled as a single genre—their “American Music” includes shades of rock, punk, rock-a-billy, rhythm and blues. Whichever the beat, this high energy show is not to be missed.
“We are bringing a diverse group of musicians to the Zoo’s stage this year,” said Maryann Torrez, Special Events and Operations Manager. “We believe there is no better place in New Mexico to see live music in an outdoor setting. Plus, tickets are really affordable.”

The Wallow Fire is so massive right now, its creating its own weather and pushing itself in all different directions, Dan Ware, with New Mexico State Forestry, said. The Wallow Fire has charred close to 150,000 acres. Ware said its been difficult for crews to fight because of terrain. Another concern is that weather will be an accelerant as the wildfire approaches New Mexico. With the embers pushing three miles ahead of this fire, there is a lot of danger for spot fires. Now, we have lightning fires starting as well, Ware said. Ware said things are going to get worse before they get better on the ground and in the air. New Mexico has allocated dozes of fire crews to the western side of the state. Theyre pretty much in standby for when the fire crosses the border. The Environmental Health Department's Air Quality Division issued a public health alert notice due to wildfire smoke in the Albuquerque area. The notice will last through 10 a.m. Thursday. Residents should observe normal precautions associated with smoke inhalation. The city of Albuquerque is asking that residents limit outdoor activities, close their windows and do not use swamp coolers. Air quality conditions associated with smoke are especially important for people with underlying health conditions such as asthma, emphysema, and cardiovascular disease. If symptoms associated with these conditions do not respond to the usual recommended medications, people are advised to see a health care provider immediately. "Smoke can hurt your eyes, irritate your respiratory system, and intensify chronic heart and lung problems and people with heart disease may experience chest pain, rapid heartbeat, and shortness of breath or fatigue," said Department of Health Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Catherine Torres. "If there is smoke nearby, remain indoors and close doors and windows to limit smoke inhalation. Also be sure you have the medicines needed for your chronic heart or lung problems.City Of Albuquerque New Mexico - Bookshelf
