Scenes From Mosaic Mural Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
The community came out Saturday to snip the ceremonial ribbon on Los Alamos County’s newest piece of art, a mosaic mural installed on the exterior wall of the Justice Center, facing Trinity Drive and Oppenheimer Drive. This particular piece of art is unique in the County’s collection because the public had a hand in creating it. A three-day workshop was held June 5-7 at Mesa Public Library during which the public was invited to create the different panels that make up the mural. The workshops and murals design was led by Austin-based artist J Muzacz and his team. Courtesy/LAC

Rickman: The Immortal Mr. Hinojosa
By JAMES RICKMAN
Los Alamos
I read with great sadness the passing of Hector C. Hinojosa (link). He was my sixth-grade teacher at Mountain Elementary back when our nation was watching President Richard M. Nixon resigning from office, and heavyweight boxers George Forman and Muhammed Ali were preparing for “The Rumble in the Jungle,” arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th Century.
More earthshaking to my kid brain than those two events, Mr. Hinojosa was my first male teacher. As I sat at my desk in my itchy new school clothes that first day before the bell rang, I didn’t know whether to feel Read More
