I am writing in support of my friend, Sharon Stover, candidate for State House District 43.
Sharon and I became acquainted through our positions as board members of the New Mexico Association of Counties. She is the immediate Past President of the association and I am the Vice President.
These following points are the reason that Sharon is the best candidate for the New Mexico House of Representatives District 43:
- Sharon deeply understands your community as a past member of the Los Alamos County Council and as County Clerk.

COMMUNICATION News:
Avoid the pitfalls of poor etiquette on social media with these five reminders from communication expert Professor Leslie Shore:
- Don’t respond to a post or comment out of emotion – Take time to process what you have read or seen and allow yourself time to reflect on your thoughts before commenting out of anger or jealousy. You and your ‘friends’ will be grateful you did.
- Remember who your ‘friends’ are – Before sharing your pregnancy, engagement, or other news on FB or twitter—think. Your family and friends

Letter To The Editor: Vote ‘For’ Question 1 To Eliminate Dangerous Confusion
John Horne’s recent letter cites various state statutes (laws) granting powers to county sheriffs. Unmentioned is the New Mexico Constitution, which is superior to those laws. Art. X, Sec 5C grants to Los Alamos County the power, through our County Charter, to establish our “form and organization … of government” and to “designate those officers which shall be elected.” The same section also allows us to designate “those officers and employees which shall perform the duties assigned by law to county officers.”
Under our current voter-approved Charter, Council Read More

Letter To The Editor: The 1940’s Radio Hour — A Great Veterans Day Weekend Activity
Los Alamos
I was genuinely disturbed and disappointed by Bonnie Gordon’s review of the Los Alamos Little Theater’s production of the 1940’s Radio Hour on November 5, 2016. I attended the same opening performance and it was a wonderful experience, enjoyed by every single person in the house with the obvious exception of Bonnie. I agree with Bonnie that she was not the ideal person to review the play and go further in saying she should have recused herself.
Yes, the characters were stereotypes but so what? Show me one play or movie in which that is not the case to at least some degree. We Read More
