Op-Ed: County-Issued Roll Carts
By MARIA PEROTTO
Los Alamos
Nuisance or Not
Each property owner as a resident of Los Alamos [town and county] has been required to use a county-issued container, the roll cart, which was instituted to control garbage dispersal and to eliminate physical injuries to collection staff.

Using roll carts is a sufficient solution to the town of Los Alamos for reasonable garbage collection. Anyone who has newly moved to Los Alamos has assumed the risk and conditions of roll cart use, Read More

Happy New Year!
Heading into the New Year, New Mexico’s snowpack is suffering from the lack of precipitation and warmer-than-normal daytime temperatures. The snowpack last week was just 18 percent of normal.
There can be some strong storms later this winter. They will be needed.
Anglers should consider a trip to Southern New Mexico.
Most of the small lakes and reservoirs in this part of the state are stocked with catchable-size rainbow trout during the winter months. Locations that offer a chance at not just stocked trout but larger holdover Read More

She’s studying computer engineering at UNM on a student visa. Her husband, who has graduated, is working in IT until his student visa runs out, and then he’ll return to school and try to juggle work and studies to stay in the United States. Going home is not an option because there is nothing for them in their small, impoverished country.
“All my friends are here or in Canada or Australia,” he says.
Both would be hired in a heartbeat if our immigration system met today’s needs. This young couple and thousands like them are at the center of Read More

Fr. Glenn: Of Eternal Amity
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, here we are almost at the new year … gym operators gearing up for the onrush of many resolutionists, kids trying to get as much as they can out of the quickly waning respite from school, CPAs dreading long hours, weeks and months prepping tax returns.
Speaking of government stuff, while not really in this column’s purview, something very important which will affect many came up in conversation with my CPA (of 40 years’ experience), missed by media attention, yet having potentially devastating effects for many—especially small businesses, and perhaps many readers.

Tales Of Our Times: Campaigns Dimly Turned From Deliberation To Snap Predictions
Tales Of Our Times:

Numerous times during the long run-up to the Nov. 5 election, I noted a trend toward news that was more about what might happen than about events. One day the news would say Harris had gained three points in a key battleground state. The next day some other big state gave Trump a three-point jump. Week after week the news kept us up to speed, within assorted margins of error.
Polls proliferated in new forms—cheap and briefer forms. The forms increased chances to design polls so the results upheld campaigners’ wishes Read More
