  • Councilors share hopes, expectations for new member

    Newly elected county councilors Vincent Chiravalle, Sharon Stover and Mike Wismer joined Nona Bowman, Robert Gibson and Michael Wheeler for the first meeting of the new council on Tuesday night.

     

    During that meeting, the councilors discussed the procedure that they would follow in order to fill the vacancy left by Jim West.

     

    It was decided that the council would seek citizens’ input and accept letters of interest from the general public, instead of appointing someone to fill the vacancy.

     

  • Sen. Udall predicts bright future for LANL

    Newly sworn-in Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., met Thursday with Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Michael Anastasio in Washington, D.C.

     

    In discussing the laboratory’s budget, Udall described Anastasio as “upbeat. He felt good about this budget year,” said Udall during an interview from Washington Thursday evening.

     

    The laboratory’s future looks bright, too, he said, explaining that strong science is needed in all of the challenges facing the world.

  • Healthy schools are Important

    Dear Editor,

     I have been a school nurse with the Los Alamos Public Schools since moving here in 1978. I have worked at every school in this district either as a school nurse or a school nurse substitute.

  • School bond election vital

    Dear Editor,

     Los Alamos registered voters will be receiving their school bond election ballots this week.  I encourage you to exercise your right to vote on this important issue.  Our school buildings need significant attention now! 

    The early phases of the bond will address the high school and the middle school, which will positively impact all students.  These projects are needed now and delaying them will not make them go away, but will make them even more expensive in the future. 

  • Schools critical to future

    Dear Editor,

     My husband and I came to Los Alamos over 36 years ago.  One of the reasons we chose to come here was the outstanding reputation of the Los Alamos School system.  Since then we have raised three children, who all attended and graduated from Los Alamos Public Schools and I had the privilege of serving for twelve years on the School Board.   We are now empty nesters who continue to support the schools and advocate for children.

    Dear Editor,

  • Boys basketball: ’Toppers, Sartans to clash tonight

    It’s a date the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys basketball team circled on its calendar in the preseason.

    Los Alamos will travel to Albuquerque to take on the St. Pius X Sartans tonight. Tonight’s game is scheduled to tip-off at 7 p.m. at St. Sebastian Gymnasium.

    The Sartans (7-7) haven’t yet shown this season they’re the force that bowled its way to a third straight state Class AAAA title, but that’s not to say anyone’s taking them lightly, least of all Los Alamos.

  • Hockey: ’Toppers pick up home, road win

    The Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey team won a pair of big games this weekend, maintaining its undefeated mark this season.

    In a rematch of last season’s New Mexico Interscholastic Ice Hockey League championship game, Los Alamos defeated Rio Rancho 8-3 Friday. Then, Saturday, the Hilltoppers topped the Taos Ice Tigers for the second time this season, sweeping the home-and-home series of the arch-rivals, 8-2.

    Los Alamos put the pressure on early in Friday’s contest, taking 20 shots-on-goal in the first period, to just 4 shots by Rio Rancho.
