Since I just made the term up, I’m going to define it as what residents are responsible for making sidewalks safe and enjoyable for people like me who are low/no vision, children running helter-skelter to catch a school bus, dog walkers, joggers … in other words everyone.
I have been bushwhacked by tree limbs and shrubs. Since losing my vision, I’ve become extra vigilant ensuring my landscaping Read More
Skolnik: Tracking COVID And More In Los Alamos’ Wastewater
By RICHARD SKOLNIK
White Rock
The tools for monitoring the presence of COVID in our communities have decreased dramatically over the last year or so. Thus, monitoring the virus that causes COVID in our wastewater has become even more important than earlier.
Los Alamos County has contracted for the monitoring of our wastewater in both Los Alamos and White Rock for:
-
-
-
-
- SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

One day apart, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ended his presidential campaign, and Jeff Apodaca defended The New Mexico Project in court.
The scions of two political families are very different personally, but both have struggled to carve out their place in public life. Both stepped outside the inherited cocoon of the Democratic Party and attempted to cut a path through the political jungle on their own.
Kennedy at his core is a tragic figure. At 14 he saw his father killed on national TV. He wasn’t close to his mother, a widow with 11 children. Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Elusive Obvious
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
One of the common and perennial philosophical ponderings throughout the ages has been: what is the goal of our lives? What “target” are all our actions directed toward? But it doesn’t take very long to come to the conclusion: We seek happiness in all of our actions.
“Now, just a minute, Padre; you sure about that? What about going into the terror of a battlefield, or someone sacrificing his life for another, or this or that? Do you think the druggies on the street in winter are happy?”
But if you think about it, the premise holds. The soldier may value fighting alongside his brothers Read More
