By Carolyn A. (Cary) Neeper, Ph. D.
I had fun yesterday, hearing and watching the Reservoir Hill turkeys—big brown ones—gobble when they saw me coming up the road. They disappeared down the hill in the grass. I hurried back down and was delighted to find them crossing the road. If they saw me, they didn’t care, for I was 30 yards away, slowed to a leisurely walk.
They took their time climbing the left bank and moving through an old barbed wire fence. Hoping to catch up to them, I hurried down the hill, through the gate to Sausal Pond (a 300-yard-long wildlife site), Read More

Letter To The Editor: Drivers Ignoring Yield Sign At North Mesa Roundabout
By Someone Not Expecting Any Changes
On April 25, a “Concerned Parent” asked that people driving near Los Alamos Middle School slow down. Immediately following this letter, I have seen LAPD officers sitting at the school entrance monitoring drivers.
I have driven past this school every weekday morning for three years and have never seen anyone speeding. However, by the time I get down the hill to the roundabout, I see parents and plenty of other drivers on their way to the middle school plowing through the roundabout at 50 mph and never once slowing down to yield to anyone. I guess they Read More

Pastor Granillo: Swing Big!
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO Swing Big!
“One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.” — Nolan Ryan
The boys that I coach often hear two phrases from me: “Hustle!” and “Swing Big!” These are common phrases for any little league coach, and any parent can expect to hear them at their child’s baseball game. However, I think it’s worth asking ourselves why we say them. Like many things we do and say, the purpose matters.
Anywhere kids are on a team, you will find both parents and Read More
