By SUZETTE FOXCan you believe we are mid-summer already? It’s our country’s birthday and time to celebrate! My family loves fireworks. We are blessed enough to watch them from our deck, so the day will be filled with good eats – ribs on the barbeque, lawn games, probably even a trip to the pool.
It doesn’t take much to decorate for Independence Day. You can decorate with food, flowers, and lawn decorations. Follow these guidelines for a red, white and blue, patriotic celebration.

Letter To The Editor: Fiscal Frugality And County Council — Support Your Local Sheriff
By TERRY GOLDMANI have been mulling over Councilor (Kristin) Henderson’s comments on frugality vs. wasteful duplication in our County government and decided to be very impressed.
I will be even more so when she identifies the five Councilors that she has convinced to join her in resigning from the Council to avoid the wasteful ‘duplication’ of having seven Councilors instead of just one.
Regarding the Sheriff’s position, however, while I have not the slightest reason to suspect any corruption in the current or past Councils, I do recall the Founding Fathers Read More

Letter To The Editor: Yet More Reason To Worry About Government In Los Alamos
By KHALIL SPENCERIf the state law regarding who has the authority to hire and fire deputy sheriffs is as straightforward as stated by Sheriff Lucero in the Los Alamos Daily Post story today (July 2, 2016), then the county administration and Council are grossly out of line.
I would hate for Los Alamos County to be hit by yet another lawsuit resulting from an inability to manage our county properly and according to the law. Let’s get the law straight. Whoever is wrong needs to publicly apologize to the citizens of this county.
Furthermore, if Mr. Burgess really said “…it Read More

Pastor Raul Granillo: Christianity 101
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOChristianity 101.
“I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise” (Ps. 101: 1).
I was reminded this week, by a new friend, that the simplicity of the Bible is the most powerful means of bringing life into this world. Too often we overcomplicate what God says or what Christianity is supposed to be about. We may get hung up in how to attract new people to our church and forget that all the world really needs is for us to live Christ-like lives.
The 101st Psalm is a great message of the simplicity of Christian living. Within this short work of David, you Read More

Letter To The Editor: Let’s Accentuate White Rock
By DON LUCEROWhen I first reviewed the schematics of the proposed new DNCU-WR building, I suggested that a clock, thermometer, elevation, and White Rock be displayed on the massive wall surface.
We continue to receive more and more visitors here in WR, which is the desire of the LA County Council, Chamber of Commerce, etc., so why not tell visitors something about White Rock…especially now that we have our own Zip Code!
Visitors would love to know something about our community, plus would use up some of the excessive wall surface. Don Lucero, WR resident Read More

COUNTY News:Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Finding Dory’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Finding Dory” is a wonderfully-animated movie about Nemo’s friend Dory and how she got separated from her family. Dory, you may recall (although I didn’t) from “Finding Nemo”, is famously forgetful, or, as she repeats to anyone who will listen, “I have short-term memory loss”. She is a Blue Tang fish with big eyes and (when she’s grown up) the voice of Ellen DeGeneres. Her parents, Jenny and Charlie, are voiced by Diane Keaton and Eugene Levy.
The film starts out with Dory as a tiny fish being taught by her parents. They worry that her memory loss issues will Read More
