Daily Postcard: Rare Long-Eared Owl Spotted Near Urban
Daily Postcard: A rare Long-eared Owl was spotted roosting in the backyard of a residence Saturday near Urban Park. Long-eared Owls are lanky and often seem to wear a surprised expression thanks to long ear tufts that typically point straight up like exclamation marks. These nocturnal hunters roost in dense foliage, where their camouflage makes them hard to find, and forage over grasslands for small mammals. Long-eared Owls are nimble flyers, with hearing so acute they can snatch prey in complete darkness. In spring and summer, listen for their low, breathy hoots and strange barking calls Read More

Izraelevitz: Clarifying Reasons Behind Run For Sheriff
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZ
Candidate For County Sheriff
It is unfortunate that online discussion about the merits of an elected Sheriff for Los Alamos, specifically regarding my campaign, has devolved into questions about my ethical compass. I would like to take a moment to be clear and factual about the reasons behind my effort to be elected as our Sheriff.
First of all, I am frank about my opposition to a Los Alamos County Sheriff, as I have been for a decade as County Councilor and in multiple communications. The position has evolved into one with no duties, is a waste of taxpayers’ money, and, for this Read More

Op-Ed: When The Power Goes Out, Natural Gas Still Works
By THOMAS TIERNEY
Los Alamos
Yesterday’s town-wide power outage reminded Los Alamos how completely modern life depends upon electricity. The lights went out, internet service stopped, electric stovetops went cold, garage doors froze shut, and many residents suddenly lost the ability to prepare a warm meal.
County leaders should keep that reality firmly in mind as they discuss restricting or eliminating natural gas appliances for residential cooking.
Los Alamos experiences recurring power outages. Wind, snow, wildfire mitigation efforts, equipment failures, and grid instability Read More
