A Letter from Community Services It’s fall in Los Alamos...

Dear Community, Visitors, and FriendsFall is upon us in Northern New Mexico! We are overjoyed to see the fall colors bloom before our eyes. This a great season for thanks and reflection of the bountiful season.

CSD is thankful for all of the community support at our events and programs, community input for our Integrated Master Plan, ADA Audit and Transition Plan, Golf Course improvements, gymnasium discussions, and Pueblo Canyon.

The Integrated Master Plan and ADA Audit will set a path of priorities for the coming years for improvements to our community.

I hope you enjoy the abundant opportunities to recreate and contemplate in our community. Our team works hard every day to improve our community and provide diverse recreational opportunities for the residents and visitors of Los Alamos County.

CSD also has Social Services providers and connections for those in our community that may be facing life’s challenges.

LOS ALAMOS FARMERS MARKET The basis for the Farmers Market is that every New Mexico family deserves access to fresh food, and farmers should be able to stay on their land, keep water and seeds in production, and preserve agricultural knowledge. Supporting local growers, ranchers and food producers preserves cultural identity and traditions, along with creating valuable community gathering places. It also keeps important food dollars circulating in our hometowns where it is needed most.

BRADBURY SCIENCE MUSEUM Approximately 60 interactive exhibits trace the history of the WWII Manhattan Project, highlight LANL’s current and historic research projects related to defense and technology, and focus on laboratory research related to national and international economic, environmental, political, and social concerns.

Passport to the Pajarito Plateau Ongoing

This is a fun program to get families outside, exploring our beautiful trails together. Los Alamos County, Bandelier, the Santa Fe National Forest, and the Valles Caldera have so many great trails, and now, thanks to support from the Delle Foundation, Clif Bar Family Foundation, Kate Svitek Memorial Foundation, and George and Helen Cowan Trust, we’re giving you an easy way to discover them.

Here’s how it works:

Gentle Walks Fridays

1.

As you hike the trails inside the passport, look for a wooden post or a bench with a small metal plate on it

Gentle Friday morning walks for which the emphasis is on discovery, not mileage gained.

2.

When you find the post, make a rubbing with your crayon rock

3.

Bring the passport back to the nature center after you’ve hiked 2, 5, 8, and 12 trails, and you’ll earn a prize that you can use on your next trail adventure. (On Passport III, come back after you’ve hiked 8 and 12 hikes).

8:30am, Los Alamos Nature Center FREE Admission

4.

If you complete all 16 hikes in any passport, we’ll have something extra special for you.

Chester Nez: World War II Navajo Code Talker October 27

Although 420 Navajo code talkers served in the Marines during World War II, none had written memoirs until Chester Nez's 2012 autobiography Code Talker. Chester Nez (1921-2014) was one of the original 29 code talkers—men who developed the only unbroken code in modern warfare and took it into battle against the Japanese.

His life demonstrated how diversity augments the strength of a nation.

Presented by Judith Avila.

Manhattan Project National Historical Park tells the complex story of one of the most transformative events of the 20th Century.

The project started in 1942 and Los Alamos was one of three secret cities of the Manhattan Project, the other two being located in Hanford, Washington and Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the waning days of World War II – forever changing the world.

Stop at the park’s visitor center for an introduction to the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos, a National Park Service Passport Stamp, and free walking tour maps.

Family Friendly Hiking Trails

OPEN SPACE & TRAILS Located on the eastern flank of the Jemez Mountains, Los Alamos enjoys a mountain backdrop amid the orange cliffs of the Pajarito Plateau. The town spans three miles of the plateau, interrupted by deeply incised canyons that offer natural escapes within the town’s limits. White Rock lies on the edge of the 1,000-foot deep White Rock Canyon, carved by the Rio Grande.

The canyons and mesas in and around the County are linked by 100+ miles of trail network. Hikers and runners, horseback riders, mountain bikers, and other trail users delight in the variety to choose from. The trails offer a quick escape from the busy pace in town, a way to commute to work, an easy stroll or a physical challenge, and a chance to observe wildlife or soak in the views.

Looking for a Trailhead?

Watch for the “Trailhead” signs along major roads throughout the County.

Using the Open Space & Trails Los Alamos County Open Space is open to non-motorized use only.

Hiking, running, horse travel, and mountain biking are permitted on County trails.

Resource Protection: All cultural resources such as Ancestral Pueblo room blocks, pot shards, petroglyphs, and historical artifacts are protected by Federal and State law. Let all cultural resources lie undisturbed.

Benefits of Water Fitness Aquatic exercise promotes and enhances physical and mental fitness. The water’s unique properties allow the pool to provide an environment for people of all abilities. Buoyancy creates a reduced impact that is easier on joints and water resistance challenges the muscles. The beauty of water is the ability to offer aerobic activity, resistance training and flexibility all at the same time. Water is thicker than air, so muscles get stronger.

Fitness Classes Deep Water Fun & Fitness: Zero impact, comfortably paced class that uses the water’s resistance to improve your fitness, flexibility, range of motion, strength, and balance.

Therapy Fun & Fitness: Low impact, warm-water class held in the therapy pool. Includes working on range of motion, toning, stretching and balance. Participants with orthopedic concerns, arthritis, asthma and other conditions have found this class to be beneficial. The maximum class size is 18 students.

WaterWorks!: A low impact, but effective water aerobics class designed to improve flexibility, range of motion, strength, muscle tone and cardiovascular endurance while using the resistance of the water to cushion the feet, knees and back. May use equipment including noodles, belts, bands and boards. Water shoes recommended.

Aqua Zumba: Splashing, stretching, twisting – even shouting, laughing, hooting, and hollering! Salsa, Merengue, Disco, and more in chest deep water for a great low impact but challenging workout.

Integrating the Zumba philosophy with traditional aquatic fitness, Aqua Zumba classes blend it all together into a workout that's cardioconditioning, and body-toning. Water shoes recommended.

Safety Note: All deep-water classes use flotation belts for support.

Swimming skills are not necessary. Participants should be comfortable in deep water. If you arrive late or leave class early please include time for an individual warm up and cool down. Students work at own level.

Restorative Justice

The Los Alamos JJAB provides youth and their families with programs and services that work to reduce youth risk behaviors, facilitate positive development, and build resiliency. Their focus is on providing prevention, intervention, and diversion programs, by partnering with community organizations to collaborate, leverage, and coordinate resources.

All JJAB programs and services are FREE.

This is an approach to justice in which the response is an organized meeting between the victim and the youth offender. This approach aims to provide the offender the opportunity to take responsibility for their actions, to understand the harm they caused, give them an opportunity to redeem themselves, and discourage them from causing further harm.

As a victim, this provides an active role in the process.
