Dear Editor,

There is a prognosis that humanity can survive on this planet only for another 25 generations. The sun will continue to shine after that.

I would like to remind the wisest in the lab and at the Santa Fe Institute and others that if one cares about a really long-term future, we must drastically change the order of things. We must stop making things useful only for killing and begin to make useful things that are to be distributed widely so as to make this planet secure for all.

Dear Editor,

This past weekend, the Los Alamos High School Olions Thespian Club gave five performances of the musical, “Little Shop of Horrors,” directed by Nina Saunders.

That our high school has many very talented teenagers was clearly demonstrated in this musical. We can be proud of these students who worked long hours over the last two months both on and off the stage.

Dear Editor,

We had the civic center and the amphitheater in Overlook Park and the moving of the dump there to the unhappily titled “Convenience Center.”

Once again, unhappiness comes to the fore in the question of the location of the skate park.

Disgruntled folk who live nearby, the boards of the Library and Senior Center that will be proximate, and folks already grown cynical about the way the county leadership operates are unhappy once again.

Dear Editor,

DOE needs to remember its requirement to clean up the environment before it creates more waste.

The Rio Grande Chapter of the Sierra Club asks that all work and expenditure toward nuclear pit production at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) be halted until the DOE recommits itself and its funds to the nuclear cleanup of LANL on the schedule to which it had previously agreed.
