When it comes to movies, I will be the first to admit that I am not very savvy but when I see a movie that I like, I like it a lot and can watch it multiple times. Such is the case with the 1989 movie “Field of Dreams”. The movie has inspired many to listen to their heart and pursue their dreams.
It is hard to believe that it’s been 32 years since “Field Read More
Fr. Glenn: O Blessed Fathers
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Well, a happy, joyful and blessed Father’s Day to all you dads out there. The privilege you have with Mom in being entrusted with those little gifts of God is beyond all others. “Entrusted” is the right word, because in your hands is the early formation of what those little ones will become in the core of their being—the part that really matters—with your example and practice (or lack) of honesty, integrity, charity, kindness, etc. Is it not so much more fulfilling to see one’s child grow into a virtuous man or woman regardless of occupation rather than being a self-centered arrogant Read More
Rep. Chandler On Session & Summer Legislative Activities
By Rep. Christine Chandler
New Mexico House District 43
People often ask me two things when I see them: how was the session and will you be getting a break during the summer?
This year’s 60-day session was a strain logistically and emotionally with so much being done via Zoom but also incredibly productive and successful. House and Senate leadership and staff did an amazing job managing both remote and in-person venues.
The set-up for remote public participation was challenging but I think widely viewed as a success. In many instances, committees had many members of the public and geographically Read More
Home Country: Turning Down Ice Cream?
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
Mrs. Doc brought them some ice cream, but Doc and Charles weren’t that interested.
Charles is Doc’s 6-year-old grandson, and both Doc and Mrs. Doc have found it fascinating to view the world, after having been around so many years, through the fresh eyes and wonderment of a youngster.
But turning down ice cream? Doc had to chuckle, because he didn’t even know that was possible. But the remote-controlled toy wouldn’t be denied.
As Doc watched, Charles turned switches and pushed buttons and the mysterious machine changed form. It became a monster instead of a race car Read More
Skolnik: We Should Be Learning From COVID – But Will We?
By RICHARD SKOLNIK
Los Alamos
As I noted in a column in March, COVID-19 is the quintessential global health problem. One virus, and the disease that relates to it, manifest all of the major issues in global health. As such, COVID offers many lessons, some of which are noted below.
Cooperation in Global Health – COVID-19 highlights the extent to which the “health of anyone, anywhere is the health of everyone, everywhere.” It also raises substantial questions about the role of various actors in global health during a pandemic, including WHO, GAVI, and individual countries and their development Read More

Niagara Falls consists of three falls in the Niagara River, which separates the U.S. and Canada. The river is only about 36 miles long flowing in a northerly direction from Lake Erie in the south to Lake Ontario in the north. The falls are about midway Read More
Fr. Glenn: The Bitterness Of The Sweet
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Warmest of wishes and blessings especially this weekend to all of my former parishioners in Los Alamos in my beloved former parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary—the weekend of the parish’s annual patronal feast day—a celebration and veneration (NOT worship!) of Our Lord’s mother and her purity in a heart devoted to God’s will. As Yoda might say: “Missed, you are!”
One thing I miss from parish life is the great food that people would bring to events. For one thing, I luuuvvvv sugar. I am a pastry hound … a cookie. monster. So when faced with that, my nemesis, it’s a struggle to not indulge Read More
