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

Home Country: Autumn Is Coming

Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
 
It begins in early morning, when the early risers among us go out to do the chores.
 
Later on, the day may seem almost summer hot, but early in the morning, we can feel it. We can sense autumn. Our eyes that are so tired from the sun’s burning can look silently around at the slight turning of the leaves, and we’ll know. It’s coming. We can feel it.
 
Calendars be hanged. Autumn does not arrive on a certain day, like a Greyhound bus. The weather guessers among us are quite often fooled. You can’t tell it’s fall by reading the paper. Even this paper. But the senses

Letter To The Editor: Following Code Violation Ordinance Issue Closely

By ANNA DILLANE
Community member
Home and Business owner

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.

Council members are hearing about this and trying to figure out what to do.

One request made of the public is to meet with councilors individually to talk about specific situations. Councilor James Chrobocinski has met with an affected group and called for emails from others Read More

Weekly Fishing Report Sept. 20

By GEORGE MORSE
Sports and Outdoors
Los Alamos Daily Post

The “Catch of the Week” section of the State Game and Fish Department’s weekly fishing report has a story to tell. With the exception of a brown trout caught in the Chama River below El Vado Lake, the big fish that were caught were warmwater species such as bass and catfish. 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

By HELEN M. MILENSKI
Los Alamos

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.

 I will now respond with my own letter to the editor and as I do not intend to partition my letter, I will try to be brief.

I am quite certain that most people, rich or poor, Read More

Letter To The Editor: Old Smith’s Building

By KATHY WILLCUTT
Los Alamos
 
Has anyone considered looking at the Old Smith’s building with the eye for a recreation facility?
 
Could it house gymnastics, some basketball courts, even an indoor ice skating rink? It has utilities. It has parking. It is large and tall. Perhaps even air conditioned.
 
Perhaps the creative minds in this community could think of a great community use for it. There is interest in more recreation facilities.
