Letter to the Editor: How the 900 Pound Federal Gorilla Becomes King Kong that Clobbers Small Businesses
How the 900 pound Federal Gorilla becomes King Kong that Clobbers Small BusinessesI am responding to Khal Spencer’s well written and thoughtful letter to the editor. Indeed, without the “900 pound Federal Gorilla,” my business would not have existed or grown. We definitely need “…a fruitful collaboration of good government and good business practice that creates an advantageous environment for an economy to grow.” However, many times, this collaboration becomes one-sided and government becomes a threat to small businesses with over-regulation, excessive Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘The Other Woman’
Review by CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
“The Other Woman” is the latest film from Nick Cassavetes (“The Notebook”). Immensely entertaining, it presents a familiar movie theme within a story that manages to surprise us.

On the front porch bird feeders, only one scrub jay watches and waits for us, but he or she (we can’t tell which) keeps a distance. He doesn’t come in for the peanuts if I wait outside on the porch, but will snatch peanuts off the porch railing when Don has turned away to fill the hanging feeders.

Vincent P. Chiravalle: My View on Public Education in New Mexico
My View on Public Education in New MexicoWhen our founders wrote the Constitution, they did not envision the federal government playing a heavy role in the education of our children.

Instead it has eroded educational standards, disregarded parental rights, restricted and over-regulated teachers and over-tested our children. Read More
