For me, one of the most exciting sports events in New Mexico is about to get underway – the high school basketball tournament! Prep basketball has long been a community event across New Mexico, from Dulce to Eunice to Belen to Taos to neighborhoods in Albuquerque.
I grew up in Hobbs, where boys basketball was legendary. Coach Ralph Tasker was himself a legend and the first high school basketball coach nationwide to win 1,000 games. It was a family activity, a teenage activity, and eventually an adult activity for me. I have attended every Read More

By CAT OZMENT
Los Alamos
For almost a year I have been laying the groundwork for a 2024 campaign for County Council. For much longer than that I have been preparing to serve as an elected official with a goal of building a more equitable Los Alamos that serves all our citizens. I am incredibly grateful for the enthusiasm and encouragement I’ve received for this endeavor. I am heartened by the number of people of diverse interests willing to work toward shared local goals.
However, with great disappointment I have accepted that I will not be running for Council in 2024.
It has become clear to me that I Read More

Did you know that fairy tales originated as oral stories? This is how these stories were preserved; they were passed down by word of mouth from generation to generation.
Of course, with anything that is heard and then repeated to someone else, stories get changed around, re-interpretated and reformed to suit both the audience and the storyteller.

Star of India: The Star of India sailing ship was built in 1863 and is the world’s oldest sailing ship. The ship was launched five days before Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address! The ship made 21 trips around the world with no auxiliary power. It is now a part of the Maritime Museum in San Diego and docked next to the shoreline walkway so that all can see and enjoy the beautiful ship. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: Preferring Light
By Father Glenn Jones:
Cool … back to 2 Chronicles again this week, though not very uplifting. Well … not until some more history had passed, at least.
The period is, or just after, 600 B.C. The great Israelite kings David and Solomon are long gone, as is the greatness of their kingdom. Israel—not divided into the separate kingdoms of Israel and Judah—has waffled back and forth from fidelity to infidelity…as have thier fortunes. The post-split northern kingdom of Israel had been conquered and absorbed by Assyria, which itself has been conquered by the Babylonians. Only the southern kingdom of Read More

“Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain…” (Exodus 20:7a, King James Version)
I suspect that many people, Christian or otherwise, are familiar with this commandment (#3 in God’s top 10; cf. Exodus 20:1-17). Or as a more modern translation (the New International Version) puts it, “You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God…” Read More

More than five million people visit New Mexico’s State Parks in an average year, a testament to the integral role that parks play in the state’s outdoor recreation economy and their essential contribution to our quality of life. Our 35 State Parks give New Mexicans—and out-of-state visitors—a matchless opportunity to experience the beauty, adventure, and unique character of New Mexico’s landscapes.
For the State Parks system to continue providing the best experience for New Mexicans and visitors alike, we must invest in Read More
