By CHARLENE FOLSOMLetter To The Editor: Elizabeth Allen For Municipal Judge
By Monica Hernandez-Lara
Los Alamos
My decision to vote for Elizabeth was made after she first told me of her intent to run for Los Alamos Municipal Judge. During the last days of voting, I am asking others to consider voting for this extraordinary candidate.
When I first met Elizabeth, she had recently moved to Los Alamos and was looking for opportunities to become active in her new community.

Soon after she settled into her new positions, Elizabeth proudly earned Read More
Letter To The Editor: A Vote For Lisa Shin Is A Vote For Ethics And Integrity
By DONNA MACDONALDWith the news of the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities Board members violating their own rules and NM state laws with travel, meals, and political lobbying, I am proud to support Lisa Shin, a candidate for the NM House of Representatives, District 43.

There are a lot of things I like about Christine and her candidacy for state house. She’s smart, and she does her homework. She’s kind and funny and dotes on her dogs. She is dedicated to public service and passionate about Read More

By Debora GeradsGo Vote, and Go Vote for the candidate who makes a difference in your community. One of those people is Municipal Court Judge Alan Kirk. He has served not only the Los Alamos community, but the State as a whole in his work with juveniles.
Judge Kirk was a founder of the State’s Juvenile Justice Advisory Committee, a committee that emphasizes intervention and prevention of crimes by youth.

Rather, Read More

The transition for fall to winter is a good time to consider what is happening to birds from a variety of viewpoints. The seasonal movement of various bird species is closing. Redwing blackbirds have been appearing in groups of 20 to 50 in trees. They suddenly fly as a group from one tree to another, making a constant raucous. White-winged have been in small groups of about five to eight birds that walk quietly about on the ground. Broad-tailed hummingbirds flew away when autumn started Read More
