Executive Director
Los Alamos Retired and Senior Organization
COVID Cometh, this time for me. Yes after 28 months of being overly cautious, and outwardly Type A … it got me. Why this melodramatic opinion piece you might ask?
If you don’t know me, I run the two local senior centers, the Betty Ehart Senior Center and the White Rock Senior Center. I have stated from the beginning of COVID, for us a calm Sunday morning in March of 2020, that I would be transparent about the local centers.

Los Alamos
Balancing poses are a way to stay with our theme of “playing” this summer in our yoga practice. This of course means we must let go of our inner critic and let ourselves “fall out of our poses”.
Holy Fig Tree Pose is named after the holy fig tree in India and sacred to various religions in the area. The tree symbolizes the three Gods: Brahma, Vishnu and Manish who are said to dwell in the fig tree.
This is also the tree that the Buddha meditated under. In the Bhagavad Gita, the holy fig tree represents the many branches of our consciousness. Although I hold reverence Read More
Fr. Glenn: Opportunity All Around Us
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Priests and ministers and charities are often called upon to try to alleviate the sufferings of others, very often those in unforeseeable situations which lead to much financial distress. They try to give what they can and what their churches may be able to provide, as well as to direct them to sources of possible governmental assistance. But, alas, often it only scratches the surface of what is needed. We might cite a recent situation in which a young parent was fighting cancer with daily treatments and thus could not work … the spouse doing the best she could balancing the care Read More
McQuiston: Storms Yield Surges In Contractor Fraud
By ALLEN MCQUISTON
Jemez Agency
Serving Los Alamos Since 1963
As our monsoon season begins, a cautionary warning.
Following extreme weather events, dubious contractors descend on affected communities, offering quick, cheap fixes for battered homes and businesses or rapid removal of debris. They will want payment up front or will try to persuade you to sign over a payment from your insurance company.
Typically, these “storm chasers” are shady contractors and overcharge for shoddy work – which, depending on local licensing rules, homeowner’s insurance may not cover. Others are outright Read More
