Home CountryLetter To The Editor: Gratitude For Our School Board And Superintendent
By JESS CULLINANI write in deep gratitude for the service of the members of our Los Alamos School Board and our Superintendent Dr. Kurt Steinhaus.
I also write in dismay that these exemplary public servants find themselves under attack by a campaign of deliberate misinformation and weaponized ignorance by those who would rather stir up ideological fervor than allow them to do their jobs effectively.
There is little we can do to shield our children from exposure to poisonous attitudes that claim that one’s immigration status is a measure of one’s character, and the increasingly negative Read More
Letter To The Editor: Let’s Do It Right … Right Now!
By IRENE POWELLAug. 8, 2017 the Los Alamos County Council voted to just do a small kiddie pool for $5 million instead of using the entire $7,816,000 that was in the projected budget for a multi-generational pool.
Since then the county staff did the research as requested by the council and has now presented a design for the $5 million, they had to leave out the lazy river and the water slide and it is now just a zero-entry, warm water pool with some water sprays.
The extra $2 million will bring back the lazy river and water slide. The county has the money to make a nice family recreational Read More
Fr. Glenn: Forgive Us Our Trespasses…
By Rev. Glenn JonesHuh … Charles Manson died about a week ago. For those too young to remember, Manson was leader of a cult (“the Manson family”), which engaged in torture and murder back in the late 1960’s, but he fortunately was captured, his cult broken up and he had been in prison ever since … dying after many decades of incarceration at the age of 83.
Predictably, some headlines were vengeful and gloating; for example: “Make Room, Satan; Charles Manson is Finally Going to Hell”, and editorial cartoons were rife with depictions of Hell, Satan, Read More
Cinema Cindy Reviews: Coco
By Cynthia Biddlecomb“Coco” is Disney Pixar’s latest, very colorful, animated film, full of love for family and the inspiration of music. The 3D version will be well worth your wait so that you see the full visual intent of the film. Marketed to the “PG” crowd, older folks may enjoy Coco for the beauty of the film and the values it holds dear. Parents, though, will want to know that the “thematic elements” to scare a child are animated skeletons.
Twelve year old Miguel (perfectly voiced by Anthony Gonzalez) wants to sing and play guitar more than anything in the world. But his family has a
Letter To The Editor: Support Our School Board … Support Our Students
In the recent flurry of letters to the editor on the Los Alamos School Board’s immigration proposal, it’s evident there’s some confusion over where the board is in the process, as well as what the resolution actually calls for. To clarify: In October, the School Board unanimously voted to approve a resolution to protect students from the threat of increased federal immigration enforcement.
The next step, what was discussed at the last meeting and will be discussed at the next one, is ironing out the specifics of the policy. That text will next go to legal review before
Letter To The Editor: Festival Of Trees Committee Says Thank You To Los Alamos Community
By PAULINE POWELL SCHNEIDERThe Festival of Trees committee would like to thank everyone who attended the 2017 event. Our food donations are being given to those in need in our community.

Thanks to the many community members and organizations that donated trees, wreaths and holiday decorations. Thanks to the vendors for the arts and crafts fair and the Read More
