By MICHAEL R. ALTHERR, Ph.D.

If you have not yet voted and plan to vote in person in the Democratic Primary for County Council, let me offer something to think about. I have had the opportunity to work directly with two of the candidates for the Democratic nomination for Council. Both Melanee Hand and David Hampton are the kind of individuals that I want working for me on the Council.
They are true public servants. Melanee and I served together on the Los Alamos Mountaineers Board. More recently, Melanee was the Council liaison to the Transportation Board where I served for four years. From Read More

Unless you have been living on the dark side of the moon, you are aware that we are experiencing severe drought here in New Mexico and Southern Colorado. If we do not get substantial rain during the upcoming monsoon season, it’s going to be a tough season for fish and anglers.
Normally, the Rio Grande would be swollen with spring runoff from the melting snow. Streamflows Read More
Fr. Glenn: The Triune One
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Had a funeral yesterday—a weekly, if not even daily, occurrence in many parishes. Sometimes there are family members who do not get along for this or that reason (sadly, often due to bickering over mere things or inheritance), but it’s always nice when there seems to be an absence of that as we had yesterday, with all the family embracing and rejoicing in the love of one another.

Hecht reveals both the prime strength and weakness of news reporting. For quick Read More

In southern New Mexico, water is a precious resource that touches everything. It touches families and businesses. It touches agriculture and the food we eat. It touches public health and safety.
