Letter to the Editor: Put Better Thought to Historic District

By Linda Goforth
Co-founder, Fuller Lodge/Historic District Advisory Board

I attended the meeting tonight (Nov. 14) of the 90 percent stage of drawn planning for the updated Ashley Pond.

The plans are approved by the County Council about 90 percent to 10 percent interest in the actual maintenance of the Historic District as it should be considered, with native plants of the Jemez Mountains only, cattails, moss, certain grasses, and only the kind of fish that would be found in a pond in the Jemez.

It seems that no one has asked the Game and Fish Department to stock it with the Rainbow and Brown Trout Read More

Asterman’s Movie Reviews: Wreck-It Ralph, Twilight V – Breaking Dawn Part 2 and Skyfall

 

The Deal Down Movie Reviews by Rick Asterman
 
(Film score range: +1, 0 or –1)
 
Wreck-It Ralph

+1

Advisory – Since the film stars Sarah Silverman, obviously there are jokes geared for the parents, but parents need not worry, as each one is carefully crafted to miss the impressionable minds.

The kids will likely be far more scared of the insect monsters, but every good kid’s story has a few things to send the shivers.

It’s ­­­downright strange to think a Disney-video game crossover film tapped into my heart more deeply than Pixar’s Celtic phase.

Video game related movies have a worse

Column: Diversity or Multiculturalism – It’s All About Working With Differences

Column by Elena Yang
Diversity or Multiculturalism – It’s All About Working With Differences

Diversity or multiculturalism is not a goal; it’s a process. 

A process of working with differences; a process that has always existed although without a name until recently; a process that will continue to exist for the next millennium.

Letter to the Editor: Thanks for Informative Column

By JJ Maier
Los Alamos

Dear Ralph, et al,

My perception is that the “media” needs a ‘close race’ in order to retain the purchase of commercial time by both “sides”,and thereby maintain their seriously large financial income streams from same.

Facts and benefits to the “People/community” have become unimportant and are no longer a consideration, even though that is the commitment they supposedly make to utilize “the airwaves, which belong to the People.”

Thanks for your informative column.
