Sheriff Lucero: To The Citizens Of Los Alamos County … Regarding Resolution 17-08

By MARCO V. LUCERO  
Los Alamos County Sheriff

As your elected sheriff for the past six and a half years, I have done my best to provide services that hold true to my faith, the Office of the Sheriff and my passion to enhance public safety. With little or no resources provided by local government I have done my best to provide services. 

I know that life pits us with those who do not agree with what we try to do. I know that despite our good intentions, some people are going to smear us. I realize that is part of holding public office. I have learned to be tolerant of those who take this route, and I have Read More

Smart Design By Suzette: Living A Simpler Life In A Modern World

 
By SUZETTE FOX
Los Alamos
 
Today’s world has many luxuries that are supposed to make life easier.
 
At times they may, but other times, they make life more complicated. Yes, I need a kitchen remodel, yes a bathroom remodel too. But when I’m feeling stressed out by what I ‘think’ I need, I look inward at what is making me unhappy or anxious. It might not be the remodel at all. It might be a combination of life stressors – observing the effect it has on my family, my finances and my sanity.
 
To feel a sense of peace and happiness again, I try to

By SLIM RANDLES
Home Country
 
“You don’t mean it!”
 
“Sure as I’m sittin’ here, Doc,” Herb said, putting an extra swirl to his coffee and cream.
 
“Flying lessons?”
 
“Yessir. Said he wanted to do it before he got old. I know. I know. He’s already old, but still, he’s up about every weekend now, buzzing around.”
 
“That’s just nuts,” Doc said, “I know for a fact he won’t see 70 again.”
 
“True enough, Doc, but you know they aren’t letting him take the plane up by himself.”
 
“Thank goodness for that. But what in the world made him want to fly a plane?”
 
“When

Letter To The Editor: Response To Mr. Nebel On Regulation

By EDWARD BIRNBAUM
Los Alamos
 
In writing my Los Alamos Daily Post letter on “regulations” (link), I confess to having focused primarily on the positive role that regulations play in keeping us safe and in protecting our environment.  
 
Mr. Nebel in his letter (link), has rightly pointed out that regulations, and the bureaucracy that supports them, often has trouble dealing with new technologies, especially if the appointees heading the organizations responsible for promulgating and enforcing the regulations are former CEO’s or executives of the companies whose

Letter To The Editor: No Fan Of Fireworks

By PHILMONT M. TAYLOR
White Rock

I believe I was endowed by my Creator with a brain with which to think, perceive, discern and, yes, to judge. If you live in northern New Mexico and are engaged in the sale, procurement or use of fireworks you are a bloody damn fool.

Furthermore, if you hold an elected office anywhere in northern New Mexico and support the sale, procurement or use of fireworks in your jurisdiction, you are demonstrably unfit for service. Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews: Baby Driver

By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos

“Baby Driver” was released on June 28th and has been getting some great reviews ever since. The title may distract from the theme, but think of Paul Simon’s famous tune of the same name and you get the picture.

This is a combination heist flick and hot pursuit action film, directed by Edgar Wright. The soundtrack is a marvelous compilation of popular/rock mood and motivational tunes. The best thing about this film is the way it was edited so that the beat of Baby’s tunes punctuates and choreographs the action. The worst thing about the film is the total disregard of
