Editor,

On Sept. 25, the Gallup City Council passed a Resolution No. 2018-27 — “A RESOLUTION OPPOSING TRANSPORTATION OF HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE VIA RAILWAY THROUGH THE CITY OF GALLUP FOR THE PURPOSE OF TEMPORARY CONSOLIDATED STORAGE OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE IN NEW MEXICO.”

Five other cities in New Mexico (Albuquerque, Bernalillo, Las Cruces, Jal and Lake Arthur) have passed resolutions in opposition to this transportation on the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Interstate 40 which will pass through McKinley County and the City of Gallup.

“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33 (ESV)

Concluding the seven-part series by Richard F. Kontz on a Vietnam Vet he met while running the Bread of Life Christian Bookstore in 2011 through mid-2015.

After part six, I never wrote part seven until five years later.  I guess it was too hard to finally write about what happened.

One morning as I was driving to work around 7 am in the morning, I saw Don walking up the street I was driving on so I pulled over and rolled down my window and said, “Hey Don what’s up?”

He came over and when I got a close look at him; he had fat lip and a black eye.  One lens on his glasses was cracked.  I asked him if he was okay.  He said yeah, I am okay.   I asked if he wanted to get...
