Happy Earth Day, earthlings! Taurus rules the Sun this month. This is a decidedly solid character. You may feel more grounded in the daily details, but don’t get bogged down. Accept transition. Today’s full moon enters Scorpio, a fixed water sign. This carries with it transformational qualities. Use this powerful...

An analysis of District 3 contenders

April 10, 2016

Regarding the upcoming District 3 County Commission election I have had a lot of interesting Q&A sessions with several people.

The question most people have on their mind is who does it really come down?   Most people think it is between David Dallago and Bill Lee.

With these two it comes down to people already know them City wide and already know whether or not the like them or not.

Like or not you have to give David Dallago the edge in experience over all the candidates – he ran the County for eight years – he knows the County government, he is a Civil Engineer and he is a smart guy.

With Lee – well – he is “Mr. Personality” and he has been County...

Guaranteeing good tasting and safe water at the tap

There is a tremendous effort put forth by water systems all over the country to provide safe and clean water to their customers.  Of course upsets and mistakes do happen.

Flint Michigan is a horrendous example of how not to do it.  But individual families can provide a firewall at their kitchen sinks to stop any contaminants that might get that far. The solution is a simple triple filter available from plumbers and hardware stores.  This filter gets rid of 95% of everything in the water.

The first filter is a particle filter that removes any particles that are still in the water.  The second filter is an activated carbon filter that removes items that can cause taste or odor...

ALBUQUERQUE— New Mexico Voices for Children cheered President Obama’s designation of the Sewall-Belmont House in Washington, D.C., as the Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument April 12.

The historic residence was the epicenter of the Suffragist Movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The house, not far from the U.S. Capitol, was home to Suffragist leader Alice Paul and was where the U.S. movement for women’s suffrage gained a foothold in the nation’s capital. For years it served as headquarters for the National Woman’s Party.

“Increased civic participation and equality across race and gender are a necessity as we seek to end poverty and provide...
