Letter to the Editor: People Should Celebrate Success
By David JonesAfter many years in small business enterprises, I’m now trying to help entrepreneurs survive long enough to generate cash flow.
My passion for building homegrown businesses and creating jobs means that I want to know how political candidates plan to facilitate the success of growing businesses.
I personally know (Rep.) Jim Hall and have asked him many questions. I believe he has many good ideas and he is clearly committed to this area and it’s economic development.
(House Dist. 43 candidate) Stephanie (Garcia) Richard has also spoken with me and I’ve asked her similar Read More

By Jaret McDonald
Ladies and Gentlemen, I want to tell you a story about how great our Los Alamos Fire Department is.
They are the most professional and clearly the most awesome team of experienced people that tried to help save my friend David Sturm.

Letter to the Editor: Vaccines – Elected Officials Should Not Feed Fear and Misinformation
As a health care professional who has dedicated my life to the health, well being and safety of children, I am deeply disturbed by a recent story published in the Los Alamos Daily Post and the comments made by (Rep.) Jim Hall concerning childhood vaccinations.
Hall said, “I’m concerned with this intensive business of hitting young children with these medicines in their formative years without fully understanding the consequences.”
As someone who has lived through the devastation of polio, measles, haemophilus, diphtheria, whooping cough and mumps it is stunning that
Letter to the Editor: We Can Do Better
Ellen WaltonDuring this campaign season we have seen many arguments against the proposed Los Alamos County Charter amendments.
We have not, however, heard much about how they will improve our lives in Los Alamos, only about how they will make us more like Santa Fe and Albuquerque in how we govern ourselves.
We can read and find out that the ballot questions contain multiple parts which will make petitioning for referendum, recall, and initiative more difficult.
We cannot take some of the parts without taking all of them, even if we agree with some.
We must also understand in all this debate Read More

Khalsa Reviews Argo
Movie Review By Seva S.S.S. KhalsaArgo is a true story about the U.S. Embassy in Iran during the tumultuous turnover of regimes in 1979.
One of the most delightful aspects of the movie is its newsreel flashbacks of demonstrators protesting outside the US Embassy and then switching to the actors who are protesting. Very good.
And I can’t help remembering, as it’s been two weeks since I’ve seen the movie, the wardrobe of the era perfectly portrayed in the movie … plaid pants, turtlenecks and huge eye glasses (omg, did I wear that!!)
A byline to the Embassy’s takeover, which Read More
Letter to the Editor: Jim Hall is a Trusted Leader
By Terry C. WallaceRepresentative Jim Hall is a true public servant; he has a long record of service on community committees, county government and state government.
Jim is deeply committed to bettering the lives of the citizens of northern New Mexico, and he has lived in our community for more than 35 years.
The hallmark of Jim’s long record of service is common sense and bipartisanship – whether discussing education issues, small business or environmental stewardship, Jim is a trusted leader.
I endorse Representative Hall to continue representing District 43 in the New Mexico Read More
