Devolder: Safety Concerns At Crosswalk On Diamond Drive
By MARK DEVOLDER
Los Alamos
This letter addresses safety concerns I have about the crosswalk on Diamond near the Pueblo Complex.
Having the crosswalk in the Pueblo Complex area is a very hazardous idea and the crosswalk signs need to be removed.
Crosswalks on Central – There are numerous crosswalks on Central. The speed limit in Los Alamos County is 25 mph unless otherwise posted. However, there is speeding on Central. In addition, pedestrians may or may not use the crosswalks. Pedestrians can pop out from behind a parked car at any time. I avoid driving on Central for this reason.

Fr. Glenn: Security Abiding
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
As we come to its anniversary, it’s hard to believe it’s been 21 years since 9/11. A whole new generation has been reared since that time, knowing that unforgettable day only as an event in history, while the images of those two towers burning, then collapsing, are etched deeply into the memories of we who are older. The smoking gash in the Pentagon, and smoldering debris in a Pennsylvania field. Of twisted wreckage, dust-covered survivors emerging ghostly from the clouds of toxic dust, and of the horror of a nation and a world.
Also, a few days ago, Queen Elizabeth traveled into Read More

“Happy shall they be who take your little ones and dash them against the rock!” This brutally descriptive sentence is found … in the Bible. What? When I first encountered this language in the Book of Psalms, a collection of ancient Hebrew sacred songs and poems found in the Old Testament, I cringed. So graphic. So violent. So not what I expected to read in the Bible. This last Read More
