Column: Why I’m Proud to be a New Mexican
Why I’m Proud to be a New MexicanI have lived in New Mexico my entire life, and experienced many different things that made me love the state—green chile, hot air balloons, and low humidity, to name a few.
This week however I have a brand new reason to love New Mexico—the equality that now exists in the state. The state Supreme Court ruled on Thursday to allow same-sex marriages statewide. New Mexico now joins 16 other states and the District of Columbia in treating all citizens equal, regardless of their sexual orientation.
The question at hand in this case was whether or Read More

This Week at the Reel Deal
Column By JIM O’DONNELLThe films we are opening this week will continue through Christmas. On Thursday, after much consideration we will open Anchorman 2. On Friday we open Walking with Dinosaurs 3D, and Saving Mr. Banks. The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug will continue through Christmas.
Saving Mr. Banks is really our Christmas movie. We originally did not make the cut, as Disney is releasing only 2,000 prints. Because of the small size of our town, we are not usually in the running until there is a 2,500-3,000 print release. We called Disney every day, told them this is the Read More

Letter to the Editor: Police and Firefighter Appreciation Dinner Means So Much
By DET. DANIEL ROBERTS
Los Alamos Police Department

The event, as always, was very well organized and had great food. There were treats and presents given to family members to show the Christmas Spirit. There Read More
