By MICHAEL R. ALTHERR, Ph.D.
Los Alamos
If you have not yet voted and plan to vote in person in the Democratic Primary for County Council, let me offer something to think about.

They are true public servants. Melanee and I served together on the Los Alamos Mountaineers Board. More recently, Melanee was the Council liaison to the Transportation Board where I served for four years. From Read More

Los Alamos Daily Post
The State Game and Fish Department stocked a total of 49,338 rainbow trout weighing 10,606 pounds (about 4810.8 kg). Most of the stocking will now be in Northern New Mexico.
Unless you have been living on the dark side of the moon, you are aware that we are experiencing severe drought here in New Mexico and Southern Colorado. If we do not get substantial rain during the upcoming monsoon season, it’s going to be a tough season for fish and anglers.
Normally, the Rio Grande would be swollen with spring runoff from the melting snow. Streamflows Read More

Fr. Glenn: The Triune One
By Fr. Glenn Jones:
Had a funeral yesterday—a weekly, if not even daily, occurrence in many parishes. Sometimes there are family members who do not get along for this or that reason (sadly, often due to bickering over mere things or inheritance), but it’s always nice when there seems to be an absence of that as we had yesterday, with all the family embracing and rejoicing in the love of one another. As our society changes and relatives become scattered to the various states and even countries, we love when we can rejoice in that common bond of family which unites us.
I was thinking of that as we move from Read More

Tales Of Our Times: ‘Context’ Improves Policymaking

‘Context’ Improves Policymaking

Through the years, many have observed that, at its core, the news is designed to lack context. In the early 1900s, famed newswriter Ben Hecht put it this way: “Trying to determine what is going on in the world by reading newspapers is like trying to tell the time by watching the second hand of a clock.”
Hecht reveals both the prime strength and weakness of news reporting. For quick Read More
