Reilly: Thoughts On Ukraine
By DOUGLAS REILLY
Los Alamos
The Los Alamos Daily Post published a Senate News item, Sen. Heinrich Cosponsors Resolution Calling For Putin And Regime To Be Held Accountable For War Crimes.
We’ve all seen the news of Russia’s invasion and war in Ukraine; Putin doesn’t call it war. I’ve been to Ukraine seven times in the early 2000s to present a two-week course on the Treaty on Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons at a research center about 30 minutes from Kyiv (Kiev). This gave me the opportunity to visit Kyiv and areas around it.
Ukraine is a beautiful country, with beautiful and friendly people. Read More

The Stanford Forgiveness Project has conclusively shown that forgiveness reduces stress, reduces anger, improves the health of your heart and in general is good for your physical and psychological well-being.
Forgiveness is also linked to hope, self-confidence and compassion. And, it can benefit people with depression and anxiety as well as benefit those who don’t suffer from these illnesses.
Forgiveness can be hard but it helps to remember that forgiveness Read More

Ken Nebel
By SUE ELLEN HAINS
Los Alamos
Fuller Lodge often is described as the “heart and soul” of Los Alamos. Many of us in the artistic community would describe Ken Nebel as being the “heart and soul” of Fuller Lodge Art Center during the past 12 years.
Ken recently resigned as assistant director from the art center and we will miss him. He kept the doors open during the pandemic. It was one of the few places that was open in town. He has kept the arts alive and accessible.
The art center is a wonderful space with painting, sculpture, and crafts beautifully displayed. Ken has helped keep artists in business Read More

Candidate For Re-election
Los Alamos County Council
Last week I filed for re-election to the Los Alamos County Council. It has been a privilege to serve as a Councilor for the last 3+ years. I seek your support in the 2022 elections in order to continue serving the community.
One of my continuing priorities is availability and access to public health services. This need has been apparent for the last two years during the pandemic. Availability of behavioral and mental health services remains a need for Los Alamos and the region. The County can continue to partner with the State and Read More

Fr. Glenn: Keeping Good Company
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Was discussing a couple of recent local murders with the Walmart cashier. One a recent alleged murder of an aunt by her 15-year-old nephew. Another, a son of a mother. Yikes. One wonders: if not safe with family, wherefore art thou “safety”?
The discussion meandered to speculation about family situations and company kept. One can’t help but think that such coldness toward human life cannot be the fruit of good moral conditions and examples, but rather a hardness toward the good and moral developed over years and maybe decades. If not by family, perhaps by companions or mentors—real Read More
On The Eve Of Earning My Eagle Scout
By GRAYSON WEISNER
Los Alamos High School Student
I am writing this letter from Dungarvan, Ireland, where I’m studying for the year.
I am just now wrapping up the last of my requirements to earn my eagle scout, which I’ve been working on online while I’ve been abroad. It has been an interesting experience and seeing as writing this is one of those final requirements, this seems like a fitting thing to write about.
All the stupid online school and lockdowns have made it very easy and normal to work on things like this while not at home. There’s been surprisingly little friction when it comes to Read More
