by

LAPD News:

The morning and evening commutes to and from Los Alamos have always been busy. However, major road construction on New Mexico State Road 4 and a dramatic increase in vehicles from a growing Los Alamos National Laboratory workforce have created a challenging traffic environment. What has resulted is increased congestion and a surge of traffic accidents outside the Los Alamos County border.

Through a cross-commission with the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Department this past week, officers with the Los Alamos Police Department (LAPD), partnering with Pojoaque Tribal officers and Read More

Forest Stewards Guild News:

With fall weather in the air, temperatures are getting colder, and nights are getting longer.

This also means that trees are shedding their leaves and dropping their needles. As these burnable materials pile up, they become a fuel bed and can become a fire hazard under dry conditions. In the event of a wildfire, leaves and needles are a fuel source for embers and can ignite easily allowing fires to spread to your home.

I must confess that for the first time since we began writing these articles-sharing our prayers, thoughts, hopes, reflections, and invitations as leaders of faith with this community of Los Alamos-the words “All Shall Be Well” caused me to pause. For you see, our world has great pain, injustice, division, and blindness to what we can do for “All [things to] Be Well.”

And so I wonder: Read More

This game, I believe, is the main reason my palate is so well trained. I can figure out the ingredients and procedure for most dishes to the faintest Read More

by

From Los Alamos Medical Center:

Thanks to movies, TV shows, and extensive public awareness campaigns, lung cancer has long been a part of the public consciousness. Many Americans recognize that the disease is strongly linked to smoking, and that its symptoms include coughing, wheezing and persistent chest pain. This awareness is a good thing – the first step in fighting lung cancer is learning its risk factors and early warning signs.

Unfortunately, many facts about lung cancer are not as widely known. For instance, not every lung cancer victim is a smoker. And not all lung cancer patients will Read More
