Here’s an interesting article from CNN on how to minimize deaths and injuries in a mass shooting situation.

Conventional wisdom, habits and instinctive behavior are not the most effective tactics. More untrained civilians carrying guns is not an effective strategy, either.

I think the information here is worth knowing and sharing: click here. Read More

Pastor Granillo: My Worst Enemy

By Pastor RAUL GRANILLO

Los Alamos

Growing up with siblings, being married, and even just being a part of the general public has caused me to realize that we fight a lot of different battles in our lives.

As I looked back at the many battles I’ve fought, I realized that there were more than a few that got me nowhere or even caused me to lose ground. In most of those battles, my opponent and I were fighting about two entirely different matters and didn’t even realize it. We named the war similarly, but there was no hope of resolution because even our disagreement didn’t actually have a common ground.

The others,

Letter To The Editor: Regarding Planned Roundabout

Round and round we go?

Would you consent to costly, painful surgery that might or might not improve your health and could result in increased blockage of one of your major arteries?

The wheels of transportation progress have turned and we’re now faced with the prospect of having our very own two-lane roundabout (RDB) built on Trinity Drive (N.M. 502) at Central Avenue, beginning in the Spring of 2017.

Over the past 20 years or so, roundabout proponents have generated three large proposals. The most recent grand plan, in 2011, proposed reducing Trinity to two lanes and Read More

Letter To The Editor: Pro-Life Is Much More Than Anti-Abortion

For most of my 73 years, I’ve listened to an almost continual rant for or against abortion. Now the Texas case in the Supreme Court has brought it again to the front. This summer in Maine I read a very interesting letter in the Boothbay Register and wrote a response to the Register.

I will attempt to write the gest of these two Letters; the first letter:

Pro-Life means nurturing, providing moral guidance, helping learn to walk, talk, make decisions, helping with homework, providing funds for college, i.e. providing a sound basis for life. Anti-abortion

Los Alamos

I have recently spent about a month in the Sombrillo Nursing and Rehabilitation facility on Sombrillo Court because of a shoulder injury. I am a long-time Quemazon resident.

I would like to bring to the Los Alamos community’s attention the excellence of the recently renovated facility. The highly motivated and experienced therapy staff working in a large and beautiful rehabilitation room with cutting edge equipment was central to my healing. I am so appreciative of the physical and occupational therapists – Danielle and Rita. These specialists

I apologize for the double pun in the title, and blame it all on the influence of a headmaster under whom I worked early in my career.

It was at this school, also, that I taught a course in Greek Mythology to a rambunctious lot of second, third and fourth graders, who loved to act out the stories of gods and goddesses and heroes and monsters.

So it was with great

Review by KELLY DOLEJSI

Los Alamos

The first film ever in which a Latino was nominated for an Oscar, Director Robert Montgomery’s “Ride the Pink Horse” (1947), will screen at 6:30 p.m., Thursday at Mesa Public Library in Los Alamos.

In this noir-style film shot in Santa Fe, Gagin (Montgomery) speaks few words but carries a big secret — or at least, so it seems — all the way to the border town of San Pablo, where FBI Agent Bill Retz (Art Smith) and bad guy Frank Hugo (Fred Clark) figure him out posthaste, or so it seems.

Basically, Gagin Read More
