Scenes Of Modular Home Headed For Tsikumu Village

One half of a modular home makes the turn onto Trinity Drive this afternoon transported by JR Theroux MH Services, Inc. heading for Tsikumu Village on Sioux Street. Because the load on the transport vehicle is too tall to go under the pedestrian overpasses in front of the Los Alamos High School, the transport vehicle detours up Trinity Drive to 48th Street and back down to Diamond Drive on its way to Sioux Street.

LAPS Reminder To Stop For School Buses

LAPS News:

School is almost out for the summer but the Los Alamos Public Schools Transportation Department urges all drivers in the county to stop when the red lights are flashing and the stop arm is extended.

“We want to keep the students of Los Alamos safe,” said LAPS Director of Transportation Keith Rosenbaum. “Running the stop arm and flashing red lights of a school bus endangers the students getting on and off the buses. Once students start to walk away from the bus, it is essential that the public stop when the lights are flashing, and the stop arm is out to ensure the safety of these students.”  Read More

Framed In Orange: A purple base and a large curved orange boulder frame other mountains as visitors mingle and take photos of the artwork. While all of the colors were neon dayglow, the reds, yellows, and oranges really glowed and attracted the most attention. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

Fr. Glenn: Strength And Honor

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

(Sigh). Recently we saw another story of what is commonly called “stolen valor” involving those who falsely (disgracefully) claim of having military honors or positions. But such is not limited to military, but may be extended to such fraudulent claims in civilian spheres as well: EMT, firefighter, police officer or some sort of spy or government agent and the like. Then there are the potentially disastrous fake nurses, doctors, lawyers, professionals and other occupations (who wants a fake plumber or electrician working on their systems, either?). Of course, this is Read More
