Bartlett: More Access To Lower Bayo And Pueblo Canyons
By MELISSA BARTLETT
Los Alamos
The current Los Alamos County Parks and Recreation policy for access to the lower part of Bayo and Pueblo canyons is too restrictive and discriminates against those of us who have limited abilities.
Currently, parking is allowed only in the small dirt lot near the gate on the road that leads to the waste water treatment plant. Private vehicles that park anywhere past the gate are subject to ticketing.
This means that to access the many lovely trails of lower Pueblo and Bayo Canyons, the only option is a hike on the paved road and risk the trucks or on a small hot dusty trail Read More

When parish staff and volunteers opened the church on June 27, they were shocked to find the sanctuary stripped of the eight-foot “Apache Christ,” by Franciscan Friar Robert Lentz, a famed iconographer.

Each of us, in our own way, smiles on the Fourth of July. We can’t help it. We are the most fortunate citizens of any nation in the world and we know it.
A bunch of us in the valley will be down on the sidewalk watching the parade go by. The bands are nice. The horses are great fun to watch, and the military with their stunning stout vehicles of war are hard to beat. So are we. We’re hard to beat, too.
My favorite part of the parade is when the kids walk by, with a small American flag in one hand and the end of a leash in the other. And that leash is attached to a dog. Not a world champion dog. Read More

There has been no shortage of commentary about the Biden vs. Trump debate.
As the debate closed, the first focus was on Joe Biden’s appearance, voice and style. He had a poor start and improved as the night wore on, but commentators, journalists, Biden allies and Joe Biden himself conceded it was a bad night.
And a bad night for a candidate always brings out the vultures and the feeding frenzy. As journalist Nicolas Kristof once said, we report crash landings, not safe landings.
Since the debate, The New York Times has published 192 articles Read More

These sites can look very legitimate and many even include a CAPTCHA, adding to their seeming authenticity. These creds can be the “keys to the kingdom” for a hacker Read More
