Wildfire Preparedness Is Year-Round: Don’t Fall Behind
The Forest Stewards Guild reminds the public that – Wildfire Preparedness Is Year-Round: Don’t Fall Behind. Courtesy/FSG
Forest Stewards Guild News:
With fall weather in the air, temperatures are getting colder, and nights are getting longer.
This also means that trees are shedding their leaves and dropping their needles. As these burnable materials pile up, they become a fuel bed and can become a fire hazard under dry conditions. In the event of a wildfire, leaves and needles are a fuel source for embers and can ignite easily allowing fires to spread to your home.

I must confess that for the first time since we began writing these articles-sharing our prayers, thoughts, hopes, reflections, and invitations as leaders of faith with this community of Los Alamos-the words “All Shall Be Well” caused me to pause. For you see, our world has great pain, injustice, division, and blindness to what we can do for “All [things to] Be Well.”
And so I wonder: Read More

I believe that the best part of cooking is allowing your creativity to take charge in the kitchen and experiment with new flavors, textures, and pairing of ingredients. As a kid, I used to play a game with my mother when we went out to eat and tried a new dish. We would try to name the main ingredients of the dish and try to replicate it at home if we liked it. This game, I believe, is the main reason my palate is so well trained. I can figure out the ingredients and procedure for most dishes to the faintest Read More

Lung Cancer: Reducing Your Risk
From Los Alamos Medical Center:
Thanks to movies, TV shows, and extensive public awareness campaigns, lung cancer has long been a part of the public consciousness. Many Americans recognize that the disease is strongly linked to smoking, and that its symptoms include coughing, wheezing and persistent chest pain. This awareness is a good thing – the first step in fighting lung cancer is learning its risk factors and early warning signs.
Unfortunately, many facts about lung cancer are not as widely known. For instance, not every lung cancer victim is a smoker. And not all lung cancer patients will Read More

Fr. Glenn: ‘I Want To Be In That Number…’
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
When you’re around Catholics this week, you may hear them speaking about All Saints Day, an annual November 1 day of remembrance (not worship) of all the faithful who are the “proven friends” of God and have inherited eternal life with Him.
Even the non-believer should be able to at least acknowledge the good of this day and the persons it honors, for the saints are men and women who have followed the great commandments to the best of their knowledge and ability—sought to practice and advance goodness, kindness and righteousness in their lives. After all, we honor sports stars, Read More
