Los Alamos

Fellow citizens,

Another serious traffic accident on N.M. 502/Main Hill Road on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. The cause: too many vehicles traveling at too high speed.

There is one more day to comment on the DOE draft Sitewide Environmental Impact Statement for LANL. The draft EIS covers transportation as an impact of LANL operations.

You can comment on the draft EIS though 5 p.m. April 10, 2025, and ask DOE to take more aggressive actions to reduce the number of vehicles on our roads and to reduce the speeds of these vehicles. 

The full EIS can be found at https://www.energy.gov/nepa/articles/doeeis-0552-draft-environmental-impact-statement Read More

By Rabbi Jack Shlachter
Los Alamos Jewish Center

The 8-day holiday of Passover is the most widely celebrated holiday on the Jewish calendar and traditionally requires a great deal of advance preparation. (My blood pressure is already rising as I recognize the rapid approach of the holiday). This year, Passover begins on Saturday evening, April 12.

Fr. Glenn: Countin’ For Somethin’

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

I’ve been watching the old black and white episodes of “Gunsmoke” during relax time lately, and saw a rather poignant one recently (Ssn 9, Ep.26). A struggling farmer was feeling that he was getting “old” (a whole 43 … puh-leeaasssse!) and was depressed because he felt that he had been of no consequence in his life—barely making a living, no kids, and a shrewish wife declaring him a “failure”.
