Op-Ed: One Is The Loneliest Number That You’ll Ever Do … An Open Letter To Bryan Fearey

By KARYL ANN ARMBRUSTER
Los Alamos

Dear Bryan,

For a candidate who claims to be able to bring valuable experience to the UNM-LA Advisory Board, your campaign slogan/strategy of “VOTE for ONE” is a little puzzling, given that we need THREE new board members to be elected this year, and not just one, in order for the board to function adequately. So what do you mean “Vote for One”… which one were you referring to?

In a non-partisan election, how does this strategy benefit our community? How does it benefit UNM-LA? On the surface, it appears to only benefit you IF you are the ONE you are referring to??? But Read More

What Does The UNM-LA Advisory Board Actually Do?

by

By DAVID HAMPTON
Candidate
UNM-LA Advisory Board

As a candidate for one of the 3 positions on the UNM-LA Advisory Board who has been knocking on people’s doors, the most frequently asked question is, “What does this board actually do?”

While we can advocate for things the community wants and actually needs (and we do!), like more 4-year degrees, more trade/technical certifications, a more robust dual credit program for our high schoolers, more community education programs, etc., programs and curriculum decisions are entirely in the hands of the main campus in Albuquerque.

County: Stay Warm And Heat Safely!

by

COUNTY News:

As we tiptoe toward colder weather, make sure you use space heaters safely! NEVER plug heaters into multi-plug adapters or use them with extension cords.

Heaters draw a lot of energy that could melt, or even ignite the plug.

Use space heaters that are child-, pet-, and clumsy-proof to prevent them from accidentally tipping.

Always keep heaters away from flammable and combustible sources and turn them off when they’re not needed. Read More

It also sets standards for teacher training, employment, and Read More
