    DOGS
    In an effort to help out the Santa Fe Animal Shelter with their intake of 48 animals from a hoarding case in Albuquerque, the Los Alamos Animal Shelter has taken in four dogs from the Santa Fe Shelter. One has already gone on a trial adoption. Here are two more:
    Ruby — A 2-year-old female golden brindle pit bull. She is energetic, but gentle. She loves food, but does not guard it. She enjoys training and is good with adults, gentle children, and most other dogs.
    Poncio — A blonde 4-year-old Chihuahua who is much more friendly than many of his breed. He does not want anyone grabbing at him suddenly, so older, quiet, gentle children would be his preference. He loves adults and most other dogs. Cats are probably bigger than Poncio is.

  • Los Alamos High School’s yearbook, Kaboom!: La Loma yearbook, has been recognized for excellence and featured in the 2013 Gotcha Covered Look Book, vol. 11, celebrating the best-of-the-best in yearbook design and coverage.
    Jostens Look Book is a collection of spreads and photos from outstanding yearbooks and their creative themes, cool covers, dazzling designs, relevant coverage, storytelling copy and action-packed photography.
    Along with design excellence, the annually published Look Book honors the important role well-crafted yearbooks play in helping schools chronicle the experiences, stories and achievements most relevant to students and that academic year.
    The Kaboom!: La Loma yearbook was created by the 2011-2012 yearbook staff under the direction of Michelle Holland, Los Alamos High School yearbook adviser.
    “The best aspect of yearbook is not just the cake, it’s the ingenuity and creativity of an enthusiastic staff of students,” Holland said.
    The Los Alamos High School Kaboom!: La Loma yearbook was one of 425 yearbooks selected from approximately 3,000.
    The 2013 panel of judges, comprised of nationally recognized scholastic journalism professionals and award-winning yearbook advisers, selected the best examples of yearbook spreads and covers to make up the 352-page 2013 Look Book.

  • The third annual Fiesta Primavera will be presented by the Pajarito Spanish Dance Alliance at 3 p.m., Sunday in the Pajarito Room of the historic Fuller Lodge.

    Guests include, singer La Megue, guitarist Ronaldo Baca, and dancers Sara de Luz, Tamara Baca and Catalina Rio Fernandez. Catalina will be joined by her company, Flamenco Nuevo Mexico.
