Letter To The Editor: Regarding Old Smith’s Building
By ROB BARAN
Los Alamos
I would like to follow-on with Kathy Willcut’s good idea (link); the County can use that space for some of it’s recreational initiatives!
I was dismayed to read that the Kroger company has such wide latitude in choosing which businesses can move into the old Smith’s space. However, Kroger owns the land, so they can do as they please. But with the County pressing forward with the recreational initiatives (made famous … or ‘infamous’ by the Rec Bond debate), why not use that perfectly sited, wide space with ample parking for one Read More

Letter To The Editor: Following Code Violation Ordinance Issue Closely
I have been following this Code Violation Ordinance issue closely and wanted to add my two cents. Our neighbors are frustrated. They are being told that they have to undertake large and small home repair projects within unreasonable time limits. People are hurting.

The warm weather we’ve been experiencing has kept the fall fishing season from taking off.
That should change soon. The temperatures in the higher elevations are already dropping into the 30’s and it was actually below freezing Sept. 18 in Angel Fire. There’s a cold front Read More
Letter To The Editor: The Ordinance, Some Solutions
I have waited until having the opportunity to read all of Mr. Izraelevitz’s (Council Chair David Izraelevitz) partitioned letters to the editor. Also, he accepted an invitation to have coffee with me and discuss some of the issues I take with the current ordinance and its enforcement. Heather Ortega joined me and I do believe we covered a lot of the concerns we have both heard from the community.
