Fr. Glenn: Seeking A Better Epitaph
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
“Well, at least I’m not as bad as X!”
Such is heard not infrequently from people defensive about some negative trait or action(s) of their own. But that’s kind of a pathetically low bar to hurdle; one can always find an example worse than oneself. After all, compared to Hitler or Vlad the Impaler, most of us look pretty good! But, imagine engraven on your future headstone: “At least he wasn’t as bad as X!” Not much of a recommendation.
And yet, we all draft our own real epitaphs. We can posture all we want, but people that really know us know the truth—or the lie—of it. Who has not been to Read More

This week we will look at Bridge Pose as a front body opener and restorative or resting back backbend.
Supported Bridge Pose is one of those poses that can help support healing and a sense of wellbeing for many of our everyday stresses, aches and pains.
In another column I will share more but one of the reasons this is such a powerful pose to help with Read More

By Dr. Laura Whipple DC
Los Alamos
As a continuation of last week’s column on good sleep habits and tips to improve sleep, I discuss supplements that are safe and have been studied for their sleep benefits. Each of these may be taken alone or combined in a sleep formula.
L-Theanine
Promotes a rise in calming brain chemicals dopamine, serotonin and GABA while lowering the levels of anxiety causing chemicals. These chemicals known as neurotransmitters help us focus, relax and sleep. L-theanine is found in green and black teas and can also be purchased in supplement form. L-theanine promotes alpha Read More

By ALLEN MCQUISTON

The thought of doing outdoor work in the cold weather isn’t overly appealing. With the fall season here and some cooler weather in store, it’s time to start thinking about that to-do list to make sure you don’t have any unexpected surprises when winter weather hits.
Fix Cracks in Concrete and Asphalt
Especially important if you live in an area that has a lot of freezing and thawing in the months to come, sealing your driveway or fixing small cracks now can prevent you from ending up with larger ones come next year. While you might not need Read More

The State Department of Game and Fish continued its stocking of fingerling Rio Grande cutthroat trout this week.

There is no limit on rainbow trout, brook trout and brown trout.
The Department Read More
