  • Animal Shelter 04-28-13

    The Los Alamos Animal Shelter, 226 East Road, 662-8179, has a great selection of onsite adoptable pets just waiting for their forever home! Others are currently off-campus in loving foster homes. Be sure to visit the Friends of the Shelter web site: lafos.org.
    All adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, have their shots and come microchipped!
    DOGS
    Calypso — Gentle brindle-point black lab found roaming near Pueblo Complex. His family never found him, so he’s looking for his new forever home! He loves to go for walks, particularly if there’s a big grassy patch along the way where he can take a break and roll in the grass. He seems to bounce rather than walk, so you know he’s having fun! He prefers a home with a person that is home more often than not, and he doesn’t enjoy sharing his home with cats. When left home alone, Calypso might do best in a crate.
    Cessna — German shepherd/lab mix that was found near the Los Alamos airport last summer. He has spent the past few months as mostly an outdoor dog, and would love to find a new family that will take him out for long walks so that he can regain the svelte figure that he once had. He will give you lots of licks and tail wags in return! Cessna prefers not to share his humans with other male dogs.

  • Ad Hoc Brass Octet to perform at Brown Bag

    The Fuller Lodge hosts a series of Brown Bag Performance Series at noon on the first Wednesday of every month. The free shows present a wide range of programs, from Beethoven to ballet, opera to jazz, chamber music to bagpipes, that have been entertaining Los Alamos music lovers on their midday breaks since 1973. Brown Bag Performances connect performers to the community.  This next month will feature the Ad Hoc Brass Octet.
    There are two brass quintets playing regularly in town: High Mesa and Brave New Brass. The two combined forces to play some large ensemble music, something which is hard to accomplish because of the difficulty of coordinating and getting 10 people to agree on a rehearsal and performance schedule. They ended up with four players from one quintet and three from the other, plus one agreeable sub, to give them a combination of eight players. There is a vast collection of Gabrieli double-choirs and other large-group pieces to choose from. The Gabrieli pieces represent the height of polyphonic music from the Renaissance era, and the pieces chosen to showcase that style. They include other Renaissance-era music by composers of that period, such as Bach, Susato and Boismortier. Ad Hoc Brass Octet consists of the following eight players.

  • ‘Little Women’ a heartfelt delight

    The Los Alamos High School Olions Thespian club is presenting Little Women at the Duane Smith Auditorium.
    The show ran Friday and Saturday and another showing is scheduled for 2 p.m. today.
    Ticket are $10 for students/seniors and $12 for adults. An open dress rehearsal was held Thursday evening to the delight of all in attendance.
    Little Women is a heartfelt musical about a young woman, Jo March, played by senior Monica Poston, as she strives to become a published writer in the midst of the Civil War. It is coming of struggles and triumphs in her pursuit for success.
    Jo’s journey includes a stay in New York, where she lives at Mrs. Kirk’s, played by senior Alex L’Esperance, boarding house. Here she meets Professor Baer, played by senior Nate Hall, who provides lessons and companionship for Jo while she is away from home. Back home in Concord, her three sisters: Meg March, played by junior Elizabeth Haagenstad; Beth March, played by junior Haley Henson; and Amy March played by sophomore Rosemary Vigil; and her mother Marmee played by senior Simona Martin, await news of Jo’s return.
    Breathtaking sets and professional lightings create a realistic experience for the audience. The costumes, hair, and makeup take audience members back to the past and into the lives of a civil war family.
