VIDEO Update: Surveillance Camera Captures Cougar At IHM Church
A surveillance camera captured a cougar roaming the grounds of Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church Monday evening at 3700 Canyon Road. IHM wants community members to be aware of the sighting because people sometimes walk through the grounds or walk their dogs in the church parking lot after dark and before dawn. Students from the adjacent Los Alamos High School also need to be made aware of the sighting as many routinely walk through the church parking lot. Courtesy photo

Pastor Granillo: The Right Attire
By Pastor RAUL GRANILLOLos Alamos
The Right Attire
I remember praying before every band concert that I played in Jr. High. But I didn’t pray for a great performance.
You see, I prayed because my mom would dress me up in dress pants, polished black shoes, a crisp white button up shirt, and a black bow tie; she dressed me for the venue. Now, there was nothing wrong with this, I understood then that appropriate attire was required to play in the band, I was alright with that.
My prayer was that God would convince my mother to take me straight to the concert and then straight back home; I didn’t want anyone to Read More

In the next few weeks the days will get longer and warmer and that means we’ll be wearing more shorts, tank tops and swimsuits. Many of you may have gained a few pounds over the winter, and if you’re going to look the way you want this summer, now is the time to get your body in shape.

How The Hen House Turns: Raising Finch (1)
How the Hen House TurnsBy CAROLYN (CARY) NEEPER Ph.D.
Raising Finch (1)
Our adventure with wild Cassin’s finch began one morning before playing tennis at the Barranca Mesa courts.
When I first saw the baby birds, I thought they were pinon pine cones. Then they moved, and I thought a cat had left some injured mice beneath the pinion tree.
Finally, up close, the wiggling brown things turned out to be tiny, naked birds struggling for security in a sea of short pine needles. There were three of them. They looked very bedraggled and weak.
I found a stick and gently pushed them together beneath Read More
