Jemez Springs

The Santa Fe National Forest is proposing to lease public lands surrounding SLP, La Cueva, Thompson Ridge to private interests for geothermal exploration.

Sierra Los Pinos, La Cueva and Thompson Ridge will be in the middle of these activities. Your future use of public lands and your enjoyment of the woods surrounding your little piece of heaven may be impacted by these activities. And a few geothermal wells in the Read More

The Right Attire

I remember praying before every band concert that I played in Jr. High. But I didn’t pray for a great performance.

You see, I prayed because my mom would dress me up in dress pants, polished black shoes, a crisp white button up shirt, and a black bow tie; she dressed me for the venue.

Manhattan Project Era Looms Large

The question is not whether history will be debated, but how. The key is telling how times affect deeds. If the past fades out, debate decays to mere sound and fury.

Plans for the Manhattan Project National Historical Park are in the offing. As an early step, the National Park Service and the Department of Energy are coming to town next week. The agencies seek ways to display history that changed history, its actual sites, accurate accounts of details, a breadth of aspects and human Read More
