The Downtown Master Planning process for Los Alamos and White Rock will lead to arguably one of the most important pieces of public policy for our community, with repercussions that will potentially play out for decades.

McQuiston: Common Misconceptions About Personal Umbrella Insurance Policy – Part 1
By ALLEN MCQUISTON
The Jemez Agency
One thing I’ve learned over the years is there are several common misconceptions regarding personal umbrella insurance policies.

I can certainly empathize with these folks since the term “umbrella” can be interpreted a number of ways. Here are some of the more common misconceptions and the truth behind them.

Father Theophan: Too Far Gone

“Clay is constantly changing, drying, shrinking” my pottery professor would say, “you need to work with it.”
In upstate New York where I first went to school, getting our pots to dry was a challenge. The relative humidity was high, and most pots didn’t really ever dry completely until we put them in a warm kiln for a few hours.
