McDonald: I Trust Decision Of Chief, LAPD And LAPS
By JARET MCDONALDAs a resident and county council candidate, I 100 percent support the police department keeping firearm safes on campus at the high school and middle school.
If LAPD feels this is the correct avenue to help keep our schools and children safe, then we should support them. We may never appreciate this idea until it is too late.
School shootings have become more of a common evil than any of us want to admit and I welcome this defensive tactic to stop these actions before they become tragedies. I have complete trust in our chief, police department, and LAPS board in this Read More
Chris Chandler: Why I Plan To Vote For Clarity
By CHRIS CHANDLERIn June, the Los Alamos County Council voted to place on the General Election ballot the question of whether our County should continue to have an elected office of sheriff. Like Robert Gibson (https://ladailypost.comcontent/los-alamos-sheriff-increases-confusion-and-risk), I plan to vote FOR this ballot question.
As an incorporated county, Los Alamos is permitted under the New Mexico Constitution to determine what elected offices the county shall include in its charter, and what the Read More

There are two things that we all do in this world, even if we don’t realize it. We are influenced by the world around us, and we become an influence to others. We reciprocate influence. This is not a bad thing, it’s just a real thing.
A problem occurs, however, when we allow ourselves to be influenced to a point of giving up our identity out of a fear of rejection. We sometimes allow
Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Kubo And The Two Strings’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Kubo and the Two Strings” is the latest animated film from Laika Entertainment (Coraline, The Boxtrolls), a family action adventure presented in stop-action animation. Words cannot adequately describe this film, but let’s try…
The creativity in this film is awe-inspiring. Stop-action animation means in this case that 4.3 seconds of the footage were created on average every week for nearly five years. In addition to the main characters, created with what we used to call “Claymation”, there are origami figurines, quickly created by Kubo’s story magic, which Read More

Finding Joy In New Friend From Animal Shelter
Newly adopted Tinker helps heal grieving Los Alamos family. Courtesy/ Holly BatesWell, it’s been two months now that I had to say goodbye to my best friend Daisy Mae. In all honesty, I took her death harder than I thought I would. I literally cried for a month. The depression took hold and would not let go.
I kept smelling her all over the house and even had to buy a new vacuum cleaner as every time I turned it on, the house filled with her and just about broke my heart over and over again.
I realize now just how truly bonded I was with her. Such so, that I still can’t Read More
