Opening Day At Los Alamos Farmers Market Thursday
Weekly Fishing Report: May 10, 2026
By GEORGE MORSE

Los Alamos Daily Post
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish stocked a total of 39,163 rainbow trout weighing 16,359 pounds. Most of the stocking will now be in Northern New Mexico.
It looks like there will be one of the weakest spring runoffs in memory this year. The snowpack is already disappearing, and the weather has been unseasonably warm and dry. This is reflected in streamflow measurements. Normally, the Rio Grande would be swollen with spring runoff from the melting snow. Streamflows above 1,000 cubic-feet-per-second would be common.

Fr. Glenn: Remembering Mothers
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
I saw a rather disturbing post the other day. It was relaying a story of a man who married a single mother and was (by that mother’s own testimony) being an excellent father to her child. And yet some comments criticized the mother in “taking advantage of” her husband and that he was a “fool” for raising another man’s child. I could scarcely fathom the heartlessness of it. Any man or woman acting as a good parent to a child not his/her own should be praised, not criticized. After all, is that not the ideal when people adopt? Have we become so heartless that we cannot have natural human Read More

Izraelevitz: Clarifying Reasons Behind Run For Sheriff
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Candidate For County Sheriff
It is unfortunate that online discussion about the merits of an elected Sheriff for Los Alamos, specifically regarding my campaign, has devolved into questions about my ethical compass. I would like to take a moment to be clear and factual about the reasons behind my effort to be elected as our Sheriff.
First of all, I am frank about my opposition to a Los Alamos County Sheriff, as I have been for a decade as County Councilor and in multiple communications. The position has evolved into one with no duties, is a waste of taxpayers’ money, and, for this Read More

Op-Ed: When The Power Goes Out, Natural Gas Still Works
By THOMAS TIERNEY
Los Alamos
Yesterday’s town-wide power outage reminded Los Alamos how completely modern life depends upon electricity. The lights went out, internet service stopped, electric stovetops went cold, garage doors froze shut, and many residents suddenly lost the ability to prepare a warm meal.
County leaders should keep that reality firmly in mind as they discuss restricting or eliminating natural gas appliances for residential cooking.
Los Alamos experiences recurring power outages. Wind, snow, wildfire mitigation efforts, equipment failures, and grid instability Read More
