Los Alamos Police and Fire Department teams line up as Addie Montoya and Micah McCown present the Flame of Hope of the Special Olympics February 25 at the Los Alamos ice rink. The event, mostly attended by police and fire families, raised more than $5,000 for Special Olympic New Mexico. LAFD won the game 5-0 but players were all winners as they entertained the crowd while raising money for such a great cause. Photo by Maire O’Neill/losalamosreporter.com.
