Letter to the Editor: Coyote Forces Campus into Shelter-In-Place Mode
Tom Hill
Community Rep.
Pinon Advisory Team
Thanks for the picture of the limping coyote in White Rock. He and a more able bodied buddy, have been hanging out in the mornings for some time in the area. They seem pretty unfazed by humans when I’ve encountered them outside my home on the way to work.
These two guys have also been a nuisance at Pinon Elementary School. Several times the campus has been placed in the Shelter-In-Place mode because of their presence on the playground.
Efforts to have them displaced have met a lot of bureaucratic blind alleys. It’s a real problem.

Letter to the Editor: Hiking Problems at VCNP Emphasize Need for NPS Management
BY TOM RIBE

Recent events at the Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) emphasize the urgency of having the National Park Service manage the VCNP as soon as possible. Senate Bill 285 is pending in Congress to bring NPS management to this national treasure as a Preserve. The longer the bill languishes in the low accomplishment Congress, the worse the situation at the Caldera becomes.
Caldera Action, a nonprofit organization focused on access and protection for the Valles Caldera National Preserve, was disappointed to learn Read More
Letter to the Editor: About Depression and Suicide
By Robin Norman (Lucido)In the aftermath of yet another adolescent suicide, I felt compelled to respond to some of the commentary I have heard throughout the community of Los Alamos regarding suicide, depression, and mental health.
It was 8 months ago that I lost my little brother to depression and suicide. The horror, sadness, and shock I have experienced over the past several months was amplified when I heard that another young person had died and another family shattered by the horrific illness that is depression.
Major depressive disorder is a complex and sinister disease fraught
Letter to the Editor: As This Week Begins…
By GEORGE MARSDEN
Assistant Director Los Alamos Teen Center
As we begin this week please keep in mind those who have been working so closely with the youth and families impacted by Tyler’s death. We as a community need to take care of our caretakers. There is no way you can compensate someone enough for the heart rending task of comforting a teen who has just lost their best friend.
If you know one of the counselors, teachers, school administrators or volunteers who has been hands on with the teens take a moment to thank them. Or even better offer to babysit so they can take an evening with their Read More
Letter to the Editor: What Does an Arrest Mean?
WILLIAM WALLACEIn a letter to the editor in the Los Alamos Daily Post on Nov. 16, 2013 Amanda Barry made the point that the practice of publicly shaming people accused of a crime is, “…an outdated, unjust and unfair practice…”
The Los Alamos Daily Post’s weekly Police Blotter includes a small disclaimer, “Neither arrests nor charges indicate a conviction, and neither means that a person is guilty of the charges filed against them.”
The individual featured in the Los Alamos Daily Post on Dec.6, 2013 under the headline, “Los Alamos Police Help Maryland Detectives Apprehend Man on Felony Read More
