Letter to the Editor: Stop Another Mistake From Being Made In LA

By PATRICIA KOKESH

The latest letters to the editor have addressed many blunders that have happened recently but maybe there is time to stop one more mistake from creating chaos.

I find the new purposed “brand” is so arrogant and offensive that I think it will stop people from visiting rather than attracting anyone. The old brand “Where Discoveries Are Made” is so much more appropriate than “Live Exponentially.”

The County Council needs to be stopped from spending $250,000 on this outrageous mistake. Instead, that money should be shared with Read More

Letter to the Editor: Another Multimillion Dollar Blunder

By ELIZABETH JACOB
Los Alamos

I agree with the two other published comments on the ugly starkness left behind by the so called “renovation” of our minute business strip on Central Avenue. Whoever planned this and ran it through without prior input from the public ought to be dismissed from public service in Los Alamos. 

The two surviving trees from the “renovation” of 17 years ago and provided the only shade available in front of CB FOX and along that strip of Central Avenue at a cost of $10,000 per tree to save at that previos time of renovation, were hacked down without Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Intersteller’

By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos

“Interstellar” is an all-engrossing and vastly entertaining Science Fiction film, currently playing at the Reel Deal.

Writer/producer/director Christopher Nolan opts to keep the story in one piece, unlike many over-edited films today.

“Cooper” (whose first name is never given) is a NASA trained pilot who, after a horrific crash, becomes a farmer. He is raising two kids with the help of his late wife’s father (John Lithgow) in a dystopian future, where history is rewritten Read More

This Week’s Recipe: Sour Cream Dill Onion Bread

This Sunday is Family Bread Service at church. Congregants bring two loaves of bread from a recipe that is meaningful to them for cultural reasons or as a reflection of ethnicity.

Although I was aware growing up that my ethnic heritage was German-Swiss on both sides, there was no special focus on that history in my family. Nevertheless, the dishes that appeared on our table routinely and at the holidays spoke volumes: my mother served cabbage as a regular vegetable and made sauerbraten Read More
