Fr. Glenn: Not Me But Thee
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Have you ever noticed how politicians say “I” and “me” a lot? I mean … how can you not have? And their minions praise them to the skies … at least in press conferences; who knows what is said behind closed doors? Whether presidents, governors, mayors … representatives, senators, etc., so many seem to do it. But in a way it appears to diminish the actions of their subordinates who actually get things done. Anyone who has been in the military knows that officers oftentimes are praised though it’s the sergeants and the lower ranks who do the work. Even in churches, we priests and Read More

By FELICIA ORTH
President
Los Alamos League of Women Voters
Delia Cruz-Murphy posed two valid and timely questions to the League of Women Voters: What is the League’s position regarding any requirement that a voter show proof of citizenship before casting a vote, and why does the League feel that such a requirement would be problematic (link)?
The League of Women Voters supports free, fair, and accessible elections for all eligible Americans, and we oppose efforts to create barriers that block citizens from fully participating in our democracy. We believe it is wrong to pass laws that deny Read More

Janecky: Thank You Los Alamos
By LOUI JANECKY
Los Alamos School of Gymnastics
As my 44 years in the town of Los Alamos come to a close, I would like to thank all of the gymnasts (from 2 years old to 52 years old) and their families for all that they have given me.
Thank you for entrusting your children to me, thank you for sharing your lives with me, thank you for helping me make my dream come true. I learned and grew with you and your children for four decades and 3 generations (for some families). I had so much fun sharing life with you.
Thank you to all of the volunteers who made this member-owned business work. We did it together. It is a model Read More

By JAMES WERNICKE
Bike Park Working Group Member
Outdoor, all-ages, all-abilities recreation that fosters physical health and social connection is as much a part of Los Alamos’s identity as its scientific legacy.
We are a community that plans and deliberates carefully—perhaps to a fault—and consistently expresses that we value our natural assets, quality of life, fiscal responsibility, and operational excellence.
While some may view it as “excessive”, the proposed North Mesa Bike Park represents a fiscally prudent, environmentally responsible, and community-supported Read More
