Letter to the Editor: To Catch A Thief
On behalf of the staff at Fuller Lodge Art Center I’d like to extend a heart-felt “thank you” to our volunteer Deborah Stone-Richard and to the Los Alamos Police Department for their efforts in chasing and apprehending a shoplifter on Nov. 28.

Column: I Am Flummoxed!
Column by Elena Yang I just wanted to find a way to use “flummoxed.” One story and one news item put me in this state.
