Lynne: FY 2024 Budget Hearings
By STEVEN LYNNE
Los Alamos County Manager
Welcome to the FY 2024 budget hearing season. I wanted to let everyone know that budget hearings start tonight at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers and you can also stream the hearings using the following zoom link.
I want to remind the community that this is your budget, and that budgeting is a communal event. The overall goal is to move the County in a direction that the community wants to go. Of course, there is not a single direction and sometimes specific goals can conflict, but that is all part of the process. County staff propose a budget, the community provides Read More

Nothing says spring like a warm sunny day and a field of colorful wildflowers. Spring in the Rocky Mountain region seem to never want to lose its grip on the cold, snowy, and windy days remaining from winter Read More
Fr. Glenn: If The World Hates You …
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Man … sometimes the world seems so topsy-turvy and filled with strife, bitterness and hatred. Strife in the streets, strife in halls of government, beaucoup strife in social media, and even (age-old) strife between—and even within—religions. As mentioned here before, the strongest argument against Christianity is often Christians themselves, or rather Christians acting far afield from the teachings of Jesus … not to mention the seemingly infinite number of denominations, all teaching different variations. Yet, it seems that other religions have this same type of Read More
Home Country: Spring Mornings
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
Spring mornings are a lot like Christmas. Each day we get up and go out into the yard or walk along the creek or visit the horses in the pasture. And each day, each morning, we find something new the sun has brought us.
Pinfeather leaves of an unbelievable green now start showing on cottonwoods that have stood like stark ghostly frames all through the cold winter. Hopeful blades of grass peek through clumps of brown left over from last summer’s verdant pasture. Everywhere we look there is something new and different.
A lot of this Christmas-in-spring is kept just among us, Read More
McQuiston: Preventing Automatic Garage Door Injuries
By ALLEN MCQUISTON

Automatic garage doors. Many of us have them and probably take for granted that our garage door will open and shut with the click of a button. While they are a great convenience, they are also among the heaviest moving objects in the home and are held under high tension so they can be the cause of a serious problem: injuries to small children.
Automatic garage doors account for approximately 20,000 emergency room visits for children annually. The majority of injuries caused by garage doors are pinched fingers and lacerations. Read More
Gruninger: Yoga Therapy For Chronic Pain
By JACCI GRUNINGER, MS, C-IAYT
Los Alamos
For years I have helped students/clients work with chronic pain. And, I have had pain off and on over my lifetime but nothing that I would say was chronic until January 2022, when I tore my hip labrum. It has now been over a year and I have learned so much from my own injury and process of navigating the pain. I am still continuing this journey of chronic pain management. My own injury has helped me be more empathetic and understanding of those I work with you also have chronic pain.
Pain is an important part of our day to day lives. Without it we wouldn’t know that something Read More
