  • Letter: KRSN has been there for us

    KRSN has long been the voice of Los Alamos. It voices opinions, provides entertainment, brings us our football and basketball games, keeps the community in tune with itself, and most important it serves as a life line in times of emergency.

    For example, in the 50s, a little girl was lost in the woods after dark and patrols were everywhere looking for her. KRSN followed the search and when she was found, KRSN reported the good news and warned the community that the fire stations would sound their sirens to bring in all the patrols.

  • The final show: Mesa Public Library’s Free Film Series screens short films

    The word “local” carries with it a kind of stigma.

    One on hand, we feel like we should buy local and support our immediate community.

    On the other hand, we tend to act as though products made and sold far away are actually better – as though we’re doing the locals a huge favor with our generosity.

    But we’ve got it backward. Los Alamos contains a lot of smart people, and many of these people don’t work at the lab.
