Letter to the Editor: A View Toward a Workable N.M. 502 Plan
By William C. MeadBackground and history: As you may know, N.M. 502 between Central Avenue and Airport Road presents significant obstacles and hazards to traffic flow and pedestrians.
It operates at peak times with considerable congestion, particularly during the evening commute, when traffic is either crawling or stop-and-go.
The morning commute operates below the current speed limit due to congestion. Pedestrian service is inadequate, even though some points of obvious access lie along this segment.
Los Alamos County (LAC) has proven amazingly dysfunctional in arriving Read More

Hannemann’s Music CornerColumn: Align Personal Values with New Year’s Resolutions
By Jessica Kisiel M.S.
Every April in New Mexico, I observe hundreds of people walking many miles on Good Friday before Easter to El Santuario de Chimayo Shrine.
As I scan the crowd it is clear that for the majority of the crowd this trek is the farthest they will walk all year.
Impressed and confused by this annual spectacle I wondered why these people would undertake such a physical task one day each year.
As a wellness coach, I wanted to know their secret. If I could figure out what inspired them to move, maybe I could use the same power to propel my clients off the couch.

Letter to the Editor: To Catch A Thief
On behalf of the staff at Fuller Lodge Art Center I’d like to extend a heart-felt “thank you” to our volunteer Deborah Stone-Richard and to the Los Alamos Police Department for their efforts in chasing and apprehending a shoplifter on Nov. 28.

Deborah’s shift ended just as the woman left the Art Center, and she chose to follow her. As the suspect Read More
Money IQ: Are Trusts Just for the Wealthy?
Money IQ As an attorney who has practiced primarily in the areas of trusts and estates for the past 20 years, I frequently hear people say that they are simply not wealthy enough to have a trust.
There is a very common misconception that somehow the use of trusts in estate planning is only for the wealthy. The intended purpose of this short article is to dispel this misconception.

Letter to the Editor: Local Businesses Show Generosity
Local businesses field requests all year for support of worthy causes. My experience is that our local businesses are often more generous than the corporate giants.
I hope our community remembers this and buys gifts and certificates locally not just at Christmas, but all year. The Y’s latest event was a half marathon and 5K race and many businesses came though yet again, but so many more give in other events to other charities.
Thank you to our business community. And special thanks to this event’s sponsors: Alpine Laser Dental, McDonalds, Read More
