Over the past two months I had the opportunity to be the featured artist at the Los Alamos Co-op Market Artist Cafe through my landscape photography business, BrakeTime Photography. It was my first ever experience with this type of opportunity and I walked away far more encouraged by the people than the photography.

From day one the Co-op staff and managers were unbelievably kind, welcoming, and supportive. Read More

Peggy Dare Endorses Antonio Maggiore For Sheriff

by

By PEGGY DARE
Los Alamos 

My vote is for Maggiore for Sheriff. Although his opponent has a respected history of service to Los Alamos, his opponent is running to eliminate the position of Sheriff totally. Taxpayers should not be funding him to pursue this.

Maggiore wants to do positive work for the community with the position.

The argument is made that the Sheriff in our unusual town no longer has a significant role. Well whose fault is that? We hear: “The police department does all the law enforcement duties.”  But that cannot be.

What is “law enforcement”? Public employees in general work in law Read More

Letter To The Editor: No More Geese At The Pond

by

By JOHN ROBERTS
Los Alamos

It’s time to stop wasting money and energy on the geese at the pond. There are too many people around them, especially during the concerts, that they’re probably traumatized from.

I’ve seen multiple kids harass and throw stuff at them, people constantly trying to touch them, then be chased and bitten by them. I’ve seen multiple people hit and kick them once they start being chased. Plus, there is geese crap everywhere!

Send the last goose somewhere calmer and safer from the pond. The idea is great to have them, but it’s just not worth terrorizing and abusing a couple of birds. Read More
