The landfill had been operational since 1974 and closed in 2008, when the site reached capacity and the trash had to go elsewhere. In New Mexico’s smallest county there is not that much room, even if residents would agree to compromise some of their incredible landscapes by filling them with trash. But the Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews: Indiana Jones & The Dial Of Destiny

Review by CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” is the fifth installment of the George Lucas/Steven Spielberg action-adventure film series. In the title role for a fifth turn is Harrison Ford, who, at nearly 82 years of age, has stated that this will be his last.
