By ZENA THOMASMany of our water towers look like they could use a good clean up or painting. Would it be possible to have the towers both on the hill and those located as you drive up the hill, painted white and then put the beautiful Los Alamos logo on it?
I am referring to the logo that has the mountains inside of the zia. Wouldn’t that look a lot better than the brown or white peeling paint that we now see?
Just a thought. Read More

Column By JIM O’DONNELLThis week we are opening Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. The Giver, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Guardians of the Galaxy will hold for another week. Into the Storm will end this Thursday.
I did see Into the Storm, and despite poor reviews I enjoyed the film. It kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
We got foiled again this week by the studios. We were confirmed to open The Hundred-Foot Journey, but Paramount would not let us come off Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles because it was number one nationally. Consequently, we had to push back The Hundred Foot Read More
By PAM and JERRY WEBER and familyThank you for the kind article about Trent. Thank you also to Steve Wells who so accurately described Trent.

Blending Cultural Spices
I certainly need an antidote to my recent columns, which were marked by too much negativity. And since I haven’t come across anything terribly exciting in my usual haunts, I’ll share a personal story.

Pet Pangea has great hours and is right in the middle of our shopping area!
By BECCA and STEVE BETTSDear Los Alamos and White Rock Communities,
How the Hen House TurnsIn earlier columns, we’ve talked about the importance of routine in animal care. Repetition also counts. It’s hard to tell if a duck understands that they may not go out of the pen, but repeating the same simple phrase may help, along with body language to go with the verbiage. How much is actually learned?
It’s quite clear that the ducks know how to ask me to dig for worms with the trowel. They’ve got me well trained with a quiet “Mack mack” and their close approach. Maybe it counts that I have only broken the trust a few Read More
