Hampton: Transportation Board Dec. 5 Meeting Update

by

By DAVID HAMPTON
Chair
Los Alamos County Transportation Board

At our last Transportation Board meeting, Dec. 5, we received a presentation and took public comments on the N.M. 4 Crossing and Multi-Use Trail Improvement Project. While there was general agreement with the HAWK signal crossing and the multi-use trail in and around Pinon Park, T-Board and the public had mixed opinions about the proposed westbound lane reduction and portions of the multi-use trail on the Mirador side, north of N.M. 4. More public meetings will be held in 2025 as the design progresses.

Interfaith Los Alamos Grateful For Coat Drive Success

by

Interfaith Los Alamos News:

Los Alamos did it again. It was amazing. This community has such a big heart. Interfaith Los Alamos had more than 150 coats to deliver to Lutheran Family Services the Monday before Thanksgiving, and they said they’d try to get them distributed before that Thursday. There were also $800 of gift cards delivered. Interfaith Los Alamos thinks that is a record and an amazing turn out in these times of need everywhere.

Interfaith Los Alamos sincerely thought this would be the wrap up to its connection with Lutheran Family Services, but Los Alamos resident David Israelevitz Read More

Fr. Glenn: … A Time To Weep, And A Time To Laugh …

by

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

Several years ago saw the tragic spectacle of one of the iconic cathedrals in the world and symbol of medieval France—the magnificent Notre Dame in Paris—wholly aflame … its soaring spire engulfed and toppling into the inferno as if the Satan himself had opened his contemptible maw to consume this gem of beauty … this jewel of Christianity. Truly a time to weep.

But this weekend saw world leaders in collective thanksgiving as they attended the re-opening ceremonies after years of intensive renovation … on the eve of the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Read More

On the second Sunday of Advent our churches read in the Gospel of Luke (ch. 3) about the one sent to announce the coming of the Lord. In this passage, John the Baptist enters the scene, clothed in camel skins, a man living rough who knows something we do not: the Lord is coming, and we need to get ready.

What does it mean for 21st century people of faith to “get ready for Read More

In response, an Interfaith Coalition on Homelessness was created to offer remedies to those who find themselves without a home.
