Fr. Glenn: A Mighty Company Awaits
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Ever wonder what dogs must think these days. You’re out walking them and talking on your phone, jabbering away, and they have no idea why. Imagine a chance meeting:
Cowdog: “I see your boss is talking to himself again.” Shep (rolling his eyes): “Yeah; he does that … a lot!” Cowdog: “You know, as we say in Texas, ‘that boy ain’t quite ‘right’” Shep: “Thanks for the tip, Sherlock.”
Or, what animals think when they see us working in the heat of day in summer while they lounge in the shade. “Boy, I’m glad the Lord didn’t make ME human. They’re dumber’n a bucket of rocks, not getting out of the Read More

Catch Of The Week: Student Loan Scams
By BECKY RUTHERFORD
Los Alamos
Whether you love or hate the idea of Biden’s student loan forgiveness program, be aware of incoming student loan forgiveness themed scams. Scammers are already starting to theme phishing and phone/text scams to this topic.
Plans released by the government for the forgiveness program have been vague, with borrowers instructed to sign up for email alerts, and that enrollment will be available in early October.
This has left some borrowers, with repayments set to continue in January, in a panic.
Scammers love uncertainty and confusion!

McQuistion: It’s Fall – Oh Deer
By ALLEN MCQUISTON
Jemez Agency
Serving Los Alamos since 1963
The temperatures have gotten cooler, and the trees are getting vibrant with color. It is a beautiful time of year.
Fall also means animal-related car accidents are likely to rise. Between October and December, the annual deer breeding season (known as the rut) occurs. Deer can be very active and unpredictable during this time, and many find their way to our roadways.
Five recommended safety tips:
1. Be alert
- More deer are on the road around dusk and dawn.
- Deer crossing signs are posted where deer are likely to cross.
- Large deer populations
Judge Elizabeth Allen: Why I’m Running For Re-Election
By Judge Elizabeth Allen
Los Alamos Municipal Court
Fourteen years ago, I passed the bar exam and embarked on a meaningful career as a lawyer. I have worked as a prosecutor, a defense attorney, and a sole practitioner. I represented children in child protection court, lifers in prison on their post-conviction appeals, and families seeking special education services. My favorite job, though, has been serving as the Municipal Judge in Los Alamos, and that is why I am running for re-election.
As a new judge in 2019, I was excited to learn the position and to improve the court process. Not only did my Read More
Rep. Chandler: How I Spent My Summer
By Rep. Christine Chandler
House District 43
Los Alamos, Sandoval & Santa Fe counties
With the end of Summer officially here, this seems like an opportune time to share a little bit about my legislative activities during these past spring and summer months. Although the actual enactment of legislation occurs during our official sessions (30 or 60 days depending on the year and occurring in the winter), our schedules post-session can also be very busy. Mine certainly has been.
First, many of us serve on interim committees. I serve as a voting member or an advisory member on several of these Read More
Stradling: County Council Governance
By GARY STRADLING
Republican Candidate
Los Alamos County Council
Government is intended for the benefit of the people. It is best when it embodies the principles of our US Constitution: liberty, governance as delegated by the people, equal standing of all, and representation in law making.
Los Alamos County Council represents us in making the rules under which our county operates. The Council conveys the will of the people to the county management. It is, and must be, the boss of the county staff. As I have served in senior government organizations in Washington DC, I have seen that when leadership Read More
