Community Services Corner: Day In The life Of Parks & Open Space
By CORY STYRON
Community Services Department Director
Los Alamos County
I appreciate the support of our community as we celebrated Parks and Recreation month in July. Our team was extremely busy the first part of the month with the Summer Concert Series, Independence Day celebration at Overlook Park, and ScienceFest, along with the day-to-day work that keeps things going.
In August, I want to highlight our busy team with less than 20 employees, whose broad range of skills logistically make the County’s special events enjoyable and outdoor recreation amenities accessible and safe for everyday Read More

The quest for happiness is and has always been a fundamental human aspiration. While the path to happiness is as unique as the individual seeking it, there are some key principles backed up by research, anecdotal stories, parables and life experiences that form the foundation of a fulfilling and joyful life.

The stocking of rainbow trout by the State Game and Fish Department slowed down this past week. Only two locations were stocked with catchable-size trout in Northern New Mexico. There will likely be an uptick in the amount of stocking in the next two weeks before the Labor Day weekend (Sept. 2-4). The last three-day holiday weekend of the summer.
Big-game hunting started this month with the opening of rifle season for pronghorn antelope. Sometimes referred to as “speed goats”, these beautiful animals are unique to North America and actually Read More

In the years I covered economic development, manufacturing was always the gold standard because of its high wages. So two announcements in a week, which also coincided with the president’s visit, felt almost like the good old days of the 1980s when we had a lot of those announcements.
First there was Arcosa Wind Towers Inc., a manufacturing company, rolling out the red, white and blue bunting for President Biden as the company and Democrats celebrated Arcosa’s new manufacturing center near Belen.
CEO Antonio Carrillo told the small, Read More
Posts From The Road: Kebler Pass Road Colorado
Going Up!: We took Kebler Pass Road (Road 12) off of Highway 133 just outside of Paonia State Park which is the western end of the road. The first few miles of Road 12 leads travelers through a valley along the Anthracite Creek before ascending fairly quickly to higher elevations within the Elk Mountains. After reaching about 9,000 feet in elevation the road levels out and is a gradual climb to Kebler Pass. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: Hushing Hecticity
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Yes, yes … I made up the word in the title. But it seems applicable these days, no? We are constantly awash with noise these days. Always there is constant stimulation, whether it be streaming music or television, videos or surfing the web. If you live in a larger city, there’s always the sirens, traffic noise punctuated by the not infrequent roar of loud motorcycles and muscle cars—a type of modern chest-beating by younger (and some not so young) guys. We rarely, if ever, take time just to think … to be still, someplace quiet. So rarely resting in our waking moments.
Some say our modern Read More
