Fr. Glenn: Lifting Up
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
One of the local big news stories last week was the shooting on the movie set of “Rust”, where a well-known actor accidently shot the cinematographer with a prop pistol.

District 2 Candidate
Los Alamos School Board
Editor’s note: The Los Alamos Daily Post encourages its readers to do their own research into statements made in Columns and Letters.
‘There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.’ –Mark Twain
A recent letter by David Reagor made an effort to highlight test scores of our district with little effort put forth to understand or reflect on the plight of the humans who are most impacted by his stance.

We will respect Read More
