Letter To The Editor: ‘Arts In Public Places’ For New Roundabout
GEORGE R. JENNINGS JR.First, dear County Councilors, thank you for standing your ground on the new roundabout at Central and Trinity. It showed loyalty to our commuters. It was the right and thoughtful thing to do.
Second, this is about a plea – a recommendation – for utilizing the space in the center of the new roundabout.
The question to be asked is, What do we want people to know about Los Alamos as they enter (or leave) the town?
The recommendation is this: We want them to know that this town was central to building the weapon that ended WWII and put up the nuclear umbrella, which has preserved Read More

Letter To The Editor: Kudos To Susan O’Leary
By GEORGE CHANDLERI want to commend Council Vice Chair Susan O’Leary for her courageous Open Letter to the Council published in the March 28 edition of the Los Alamos Daily Post. I spent eight years in that weird little universe she’s trying to navigate and I can tell from her letter that it hasn’t changed much. A lot of staff time goes into trying to give the Council the illusion of being in control while making sure they never get too close to the real levers of power. Susan is obviously getting too close.
What happens next is the freeze-out. There will be some councilors who buy the Read More

Pastor Granillo: Understanding Women And Kings

Understanding Women and Kings.
When I first got married, I knew the primary rule of marriage was that I was to be devoted to this one woman, alone, for the rest of my life. Of course, I was naïve about a lot of things.
I thought all this rule meant, was that other women were off limits. I dare say every husband learns quickly that there is more to it than that. For example, it would not end will if you told your wife that you preferred your mom’s cooking or her cleaning methods.
I learned a lot of serious stuff as well. My wife had her own journey through life before she met me. Read More
