Los Alamos Daily Digest Tuesday, October 13, 2026
Ty's Take
You notice right away that this week's paper is full of people trying to figure out how things work around here, whether that's candidates asking hard questions about waste services or parents weighing in on what's happening in the schools. That's the sound of a small town doing its actual work, the kind that doesn't make state news but keeps a place functioning. You've also got a high school kid getting recognized for doing something right, which matters more than folks probably give it credit for, especially in a place like this where a lot of pressure comes down on young people to achieve. And then there's the suicide awareness bus passing through Espanola, a reminder that the mental health crisis doesn't stop at county lines, and that some conversations are too important to leave unstarted just because they're uncomfortable. October's a good month for that work, the way it's a good month for asking your neighbors what they actually think.
