He was sprawled across the exit lane of a busy shopping center as I was trying to leave. I stopped my car and ran over to do something, but what? Two other good Samaritans joined me.
We dragged him out of traffic and called 911. He told me he was having a seizure, but it seemed more likely that he was wasting away from years of substance abuse. The fire department arrived in minutes, and the senior officer greeted the man by name.
“We see this guy ALL the time,” the firefighter said.
I knew the police have to contend repeatedly with the same folks Read More
Op-Ed: Protecting Northern New Mexico’s Land, Water, And Communities From Wildfire
By Sen. Bobby Gonzales, D-Los Alamos
New Mexico District 6
In northern New Mexico, wildfire is not an abstract threat—it is something we have lived through, endured, and are still recovering from.
Communities across Taos, Mora, San Miguel, and Colfax counties know this all too well. The Hermits Peak–Calf Canyon Fire burned hundreds of thousands of acres, displaced families, damaged acequias, destroyed grazing lands, and forever altered watersheds that our villages and pueblos rely on. The scars remain visible today—not just on the land, but in the lives of the people who depend on it.

As is usually the case in 30-day legislative sessions, far more bills are introduced than can realistically be read, debated in committee, and passed by two chambers. One estimate puts the combined total at roughly 600 bills between the House and Senate—excluding “dummy bills,” which are empty shells that can become substantive after the introduction deadline.
Relatively few of those bills will reach the governor’s desk, and some won’t even receive a committee hearing. That doesn’t mean they’re bad ideas; it simply means they aren’t Read More
Duplicate Bridge In Los Alamos: Feb. 2, 2026
BRIDGE News:
The Feb. 4 team game was a great success. There were 7 teams in play, including two teams from Santa Fe. Local players Sig Lodwig, Jerry Morzinski, Jerry Fleming and Cliff Rudy were the overall winners.
The two games on Feb. 9 and 11 are Sectional Tournament at Clubs (STaC) games. Martin Cooper and Jerry Fleming were overall winners on Feb. 2. Bob and Laurie Walker were high in flight B.
Here’s another competitive hand. Both sides should get into the auction. When the high cards are reasonably evenly divided between the two pairs, it makes for in interesting challenge!

The frigid temperatures a week ago that got the ice-fishing season started gave way to warmer temperatures last week. Eagle Nest Lake State Park hosted its annual Ice-Fishing Derby Jan. 31, but the warmer temperatures have led to the lake being closed again to ice fishing.

Colorado River: The setting sun illuminates the cliff formations of the Grand Mesa in Palisade, Colo., as the Colorado River twists and turns as it flows through the area. The last light of day creates a beautiful red color on the cliffs and reflects beautifully in the river. Palisade is known for its rich agriculture and fruit orchards, and more recently, vineyards.

Fr. Glenn: Illumination
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, last week in the Catholic Sunday Mass (Feb. 1) we heard Jesus open His Sermon on the Mount with the Beatitudes, describing the internal attitude and character of a true disciple—patience, kindness, sorrow for evil, peacemaking, fortitude, humility. And this weekend we’re back on the mountain with Jesus.
But today, Jesus shifts focus to outward mission and the fruits manifested by the true disciple’s internal character. He looks out at His audience of fishermen, laborers and common people and announces something very bold to these often downtrodden and minimized Read More
