PRESIDIO - West Texas
Utilities Co. has named
Raymond Ramirez as Area
Manager in the WTU Presidio
office.
Ramirez began his WTU service in 1981 as a lineman
trainee in Marfa and had previously been a carpenter in

He was a lineman in Marfa
for 8 years before becoming
Presidio serviceman in* 1989.

Judd returned and took up at
his usual Marfa residence called
La Mansana de Chinati, the
living and working compound
he owns across the street from
West Texas Ice.
But the constant on-and-off
cycle of the unit interferes with
Judd's work schedule, he said.
Judd says he likes to work at
night and the low but constant
on-and-off noise the unit makes
prevents him from working, the
artist said.
Judd sent staff members to
talk with Horn with no success.
Horn said he's simply trying
to make a living in Marfa.
Judd then had staff members
park Judd vehicles on the street
next to West Texas Ice to give
Horn a taste of his own
medicine.
Horn fought back, requesting
the city to declare a loading
zone on his side of the street.
The city approved Horn's request in principle and is expected to make formal approval
soon.

Rob Weiner, assistant to Judd,
and Ramon Nunez, Judd's construction crew foreman, have
filed misdemeanor terroristic

telling officials Horn threatened
to kill them. Horn denies the
charges, but Weiner said he and
Nunez have witnesses to the
threats.
Judd then asked the city to
adopt a noise abatement ordinance.

Poindexter also has built guest
lodges at both ranches, and he
said he needs the upgraded road
in part so lodge guests can access Cienega.
"We use it, the state of Texas
uses it and others use it," Poindexter said of the road, which
in its present state is unsafe. He
said parts of the road are impassable after a heavy rain, and
^severa 1 ranch hands were
stranded on the Cienega after a
recent downpour.
He added that he has the backing of the Texas Parks &
Wildlife Department so they
can access nearby Big Bend
Ranch State Natural Area.
He said he's been in negotiations with McCracken descendants for more than one year
without success.
Twice in the negotiations,
Poindexter said, the family offered the entire ranch to him
and, also a 22-acre tract, at one
point asking $22,000 an acre.
That prompted Presidio County Judge Monroe Elms to quip
h e ' d l i k e to know where
Presidio County ranch land is
worth $22,000 an acre.
Poindexter said he declined
both offers.
Tinaja China Ranch attorney
Mike-Curry of Midland urged
elected county officials to reject
the proposal because the request is legally flawed, it's not
the only way to get to Cienega
and that Poindexter has no right
to makes changes to the private
McCracken road.
Poindexter's attorney, Ken
DeHart of Alpine, disputed the
assertion that the application
was flawed.
In addition, Poindexter plans
to use the road for "business
purposes, not public purposes,"
Curry said, adding that it's
been a private road for 100
years.
Alleged problems of fencing,
the water line; liability and
potential trespassing also are
factors, and the family may lose
its tenant, Curry added.
Poindexter countered, "I'm

"I choose to live here and I'm
sorry I can't say I had ancestors
here," Poindexter said, adding
that his legal residence now is

Commissioners' Court Attorney Cole Fulks instructed
elected county officials to table
the matter until next month to
give him time to review the
proposal.
"I'm sorry you all can't come
to an agreement," Elms told
McClurg and Poindexter.

There were two events that left a bad taste in my mouth:
Introducing politics at the Blackwell Reunion by having Henry
Bonilla as the speaker, and the outright discourtesy shown at the
dance on Saturday by two of the committee members.
1.1 hope that the citizens of Marfa present at the banquet on
Friday saw through the political scenario staged by the
Republicans through Henry Bonilla. He has become their puppet
and parrots their warmed-over rhetoric. (The MacNeil-Lehrer
report on Wednesday, Aug. 4 showed Bonilla uttering the same
words he mouthed in Marfa!) His speech was out of line with the
celebration. Marfa and West Texas citizens, please think for
yourselves and think critically.
2. The other occurrence is less crucialto Texas and the U.S. but
is important to Marfa and to the Blackwell Reunion committee
members. When I received the notice of the Marfa Blackwell
Reunion I said to myself, this year I'll go, I'll meet my old
classmates. I'll see some of the teachers, and at the dance I'll see
my friends dancing the night away. But lo and behold, what
happens? The organizers had no tables for us.-The best tables
were for the "public" and1'** vêre^hMTfieti^tfiVdlffkesf cornet1 , l /
so that seeing was impossible. We could see that good manners
.were not their forte. The ones seated at our table vowed never to
return again. What a disappointment. After all, it appeared in the
West Texas town of Marfa that cowboys were treating us like
cattle.
This type of behavior, I am sure, would not have been condoned
by the Misses Harper and other Blackwell School alumni.
Yours truly,

On Saturday, July 31, the mother of two pre-school age
children, the baby still nursing, was picked up on her way to a
graduate class at Sul Ross State Universjty and thrown in jail in
Alpine as Jeff Davis County has no jail.
She was not released until late Monday afternoon after a writ
had been obtained from the district judge in Fort Stockton.
All of this was for an alleged seat belt violation.
This same seat belt law was supposedly enacted to save lives and
protect us because "they" really cared about our safety and welfare! Did "they" care about that little baby or the little boy or the
mother? Or did "they" just care about the $50 in fine money?
Does Jeff Davis County really need the $50 in revenue that badly?
Are our local law enforcement personnel getting overzealous in
enforcement of the seat belt laws when they begin throwing
people in jail for three days over a $50 fine? Could this happen to
you?
At election time I hope that the good citizens of Jeff Davis County will remember this incident and register their disapproval of
such "gestapo" like tactics by way of the ballot box.
Yours for the repeal of the seat belt law,
VI Webster, registered voter
Jeff Davis County
(Editor's note: Since this letter arrived at our office, the Sentinel
has learned that the seat belt charge was a Texas Department of

and a country store/garage sale.
This event, from 10 a.m. until,

be held at Sunset Park, across
the street from the library.
Proceeds will be used to purchase new library doors.

The word of God was proclaimed magnificently in both word

week.

Fort Davis and Marfa, managed to keep everything going smoothly. His first invitation was for everyone who knew someone who

What a battle the new guy on the block waged to get the wise
old men of the Senate to give his plan a chance.
Personally, I think the president deserves an opportunity to test
his economic theories. After all. he did win the electiojL_And-one
thing is for certain, the upper chamber of our congress didn't do
anything to distinguish itself.
No telling how many cheap and sleazy deals were squeezed out
of the executive branch in order to secure much needed votes.
And then there was the cheesy spectacle of Sen. Bob Kerry
making sure we knew which.hack cast the vote to secure the tie
and ultimate victory.
His sly smile and lofty speech did nothing to cast a better light
on what was the el primo act of political opportunism. Anyone
want to bet ole Bob wasn't preparing his resume for the future.
Since we be slinging out lots of political anger this week, let's
touch on one more sensitive nerve. Anyone else old enough or
well read enough to remember former Vice President John Nance
Garner's comment on the value of the vice-presidency?
I believe it went something like, "It's not worth a bucket of
warm spit."
Remember that the next time you catch the Bill and Al show on
CNN. I mean, a year ago Al Gore was a dynamic,
forward-looking U.S. senator. Now he looks like the president's
kid brother hanging on his every word. Such are the indignities of
politics. .
So, President Clinton, go for it. the nation is hungry for
leadership and economic action. I, for one. will be watching and
hoping you succeed. You see. this is one game we are all players
in.

Re: T h e Insanity Within" by Wahdley Red in a recent Frontera
Lines column.
I don't particularly care to get into a' difference of opinions with
the pseudo-named author of Frontera Lines as to the contents of
his article/opinions of the Cowboys, the infamous JJ's, Emmit
Smith and so on, but, I do take exception to his calling Crazy
Ray, (the unofficial Dallas Cowboy mascot) a fool who rides the
stickhorse and sells Cowboy's banners.
Crazy Ray, as he is best known in Dallas, is and has been to the
Cowboys, what Granison Cheney, (R.I.P.) used to be to the
Marfa Shorthorns, their number one fan of all time.
He is a real professional clown and entertainer and has of his,
own time and money purchased the outfit he wears in front of the
camera for the sole purpose of entertaining the other fans, both on
and off the stadium. Other than Tom Landry, Roger Staubach and
now Troy Aikman, Ray is the one person everyone will admit to
wanting to see at the games, even though you see every male
present taking every eyeful of the Cowboy Cheerleaders he can
get. The fans at home often grind their teeth at the cameraperson
for not showing more of the cheerleaders than of the visitor's
bench.
Maybe some of you Cowboy fans or fellow Texans noticed a
whil.e back, that Ray was absent from some of the home games.
Yep, the old man had to have heart surgery and as a
self-employed entrepreneur, he was uninsured and unemployed to
boot.
His fans came through for him, but did the Cowboy machine?

EditorI know Abe Gonzalez is getting another round of criticism for
the escape last week.
I would like the open-minded people in Marfa to consider the
choices Abe has:
'
1. Keep the inmates in their cells watching television or sleeping.
2. Ask for a new deputy to send out with the work crews.
3. Take a risk of prisoners escaping, but have mem do
something useful while they are paying their debt to society.
I like Abe's decision. He knows mere is DO more money coming
from, the tax payers (that's us). He felt it proper that the prisoners
should do something for their crime besides sit on their butts.
I am sorry for Ruben Hernandez. I am also sorry for the young
prisoners that will now serve even longer time for their crimes.
Life, does have risks. But, I am happy that we have a sheriff that
is willing to take risks and do what he believes is the right thing
to do.
Next election, we will see how the people in Marfa feel. I, for
one, will vote for Abe if he chooses to run again.

He said he's been in negotiations with McCracken descendants for more than one year
without success.
Twice in the negotiations,
Poindexter said, the family offered the entire ranch to him
and, also a 22-acre tract, at one
point asking $22,000 an acre.
That prompted Presidio County Judge Monroe Elms to quip

Poindexter said he declined

Mike-Curry of Midland urged
elected county officials to reject
the proposal because the request is legally flawed, it's not
the only way to get to Cienega
and that Poindexter has no right

Poindexter's attorney, Ken
DeHart of Alpine, disputed the
assertion that the application
was flawed.
In addition, Poindexter plans
to use the road for "business
purposes, not public purposes,"
Curry said, adding that it's
been a private road for 100
years.
Alleged problems of fencing,
the water line; liability and
potential trespassing also are
factors, and the family may lose

I don't particularly care to get into a difference of opinions with
the pseudo-named author of Frontera Lines as to the contents of
his article/opinions of the Cowboys, the infamous JJ's, Emmit
Smith and so on, but, I do take exception to his calling Crazy
Ray, (the unofficial Dallas Cowboy mascot) a fool who rides the
stickhorse and sells Cowboy's banners.
Crazy Ray, as he is best known in Dallas, is and has been to the
Cowboys, what Granison Cheney, (R.I.P.) used to be to the
Marfa Shorthorns, their number one fan of all time.
He is a real professional clown and entertainer and has of his
own time and money purchased the outfit he wears in front of the
camera for the sole purpose of entertaining the other fans, both on
and off the stadium. Other than Tom Landry, Roger Staubach and
now Troy Aikman, Ray is the one person everyone will admit to
wanting to see at the games, even though you see every male
present taking every eyeful of the Cowboy Cheerleaders he can
get. The fans at home often grind their teeth at the cameraperson
for not showing more of the cheerleaders than of the visitor's
bench.
Maybe some of you Cowboy fans or fellow Texans noticed a
whil.e back, that Ray was absent from some of the home games.
Yep, the old man had to have heart surgery and as a
self-employed entrepreneur, he was uninsured and unemployed to
boot.
His fans came through for him, but did the Cowboy machine?

Mr. Jones was asked if Ray would go to the game, and his reply
was only if he pays his own way to San Francisco.
However, if they advance to the Superbowl, the Cowboys would
pay for his ticket and airfare. Hundreds of fans called in with
offers to pay for Ray's playoff ticket and airfare. A local TV
station picked up his tab and Ray went on to cheer the Cowboys
to their glorious victories and the championship. We loved it all,

Bouquets and brickbats are in order for the Blackwell/Bonilla
reunion.
Bouquets
First come the bouquets for the many good things that happened
at the-1993 Blackwell reunion. I traveled 1,500 miles (one way)
to this gathering, envisioning the camaraderie and good feelings
of the first 1987 Blackwell Reunion. And it came to pass again in
1993v
; 1. A "big bouquet of fragrant red roses goes to Miss Willie
.Harper, who was honored for her dedication in teaching children
who attended Blackwell.
2. A big bouquet of red carnations to her sister, Miss Mary
Harpiiv who has been instrumental in keeping the tradition of the
Blackwell Reunion.
3. Each and everyone of my beloved Blackwell friends get their
favorite bouquets for their amiability, courtesy and open hearts
they showed toward me. One of them is Sabinita Ontiveros and
her dear mother. Chatting with all these warm, kind Marfans was
the highlight of my trip.

Marfa library's
fun day in the
park is Saturday
MARFA - Attention, kids of
all ages. Fun Day in the Park,
this Saturday offers one more
chance for summer fun before
school starts.
There will be games (duck
pond, fishing booth, ring toss,
cakewalk), hot dogs at noon,
and a country store/garage sale.
This event, from 10 a.m. until,
3 p.m.. is sponsored by Friends
of the Mart'a Library, and will
be held at Sunset Park, across
the street from the library.
Proceeds will be used to purchase new library doors.
Items for sale in the country
store or garage sale could still
be used. If you woujd like to
help by donating saleable
goods, you can take them by
the library today or Friday.

the spot, the social hour was fun and the food was superb. On
Saturday, at the courthouse lawn, more friends were there and
good feelings prevailed. On the same day, my son and I visited
the ailing Miss Willie and gracious Mary. We treasure that visit.
Brickbats
There were two events that left a bad taste in my mouth:
Introducing politics at the Blackwell Reunion by having Henry
Bonilla as the speaker, and the outright discourtesy shown at the
dance on Saturday by two of the committee members.
1.1 hope that the citizens of Marfa present at the banquet on
Friday saw through the political scenario staged by the
Republicans through Henry Bonilla. He has become their puppet
and parrots their warmed-over rhetoric. (The MacNeil-Lehrer
report on Wednesday, Aug. 4 showed Bonilla uttering the same
words he mouthed in Marfa!) His speech was out of line with the
celebration. Marfa and West Texas citizens, please think for
yourselves and think critically.
2. The other occurrence is less crucialto Texas and the U.S. but
is important to Marfa and to the Blackwell Reunion committee
members. When I received the notice of the Marfa Blackwell
Reunion I said to myself, this year I'll go, I'll meet my old
classmates. I'll see some of the teachers, and at the dance I'll see
my friends dancing the night away. But lo and behold, what
happens? The organizers had no tables for us.-The best tables
were for the "public" and11** vfoe^hWleb^ttVdkrkttsf cornet1 , , y
so that seeing was impossible. We could see that good manners
.were not their forte. The ones seated at our table vowed never to
return again. What a disappointment. After all, it appeared in the
West Texas town of Marfa that cowboys were treating us like
cattle.
This type of behavior, I am sure, would not have been condoned
by the Misses Harper and other Blackwell School alumni.
Yours truly,
Hortensia Arce-Butler

On Saturday, July 31, the mother of two pre-school age
children, the baby still nursing, was picked up on her way to a
graduate class at Sul Ross State University and thrown in jail in
Alpine as Jeff Davis County has no jail.
She was not released until late Monday afternoon after a writ
had been obtained from the district judge in Fort Stockton.
All of this was for an alleged seat belt violation.
This same seat belt law was supposedly enacted to save lives and
protect us because "they" really cared about our safety and welfare! Did "they" care about that little baby or the little boy or the
mother? Or did "they" just care about the $50 in fine money?
Does Jeff Davis County really need the $50 in revenue that badly?
Are our local law enforcement personnel getting overzealous in
enforcement of the seat belt laws when they begin throwing
people in jail for three days over a $50 fine? Could this happen to
you?
At election time I hope that the good citizens of Jeff Davis County will remember this incident and register their disapproval of
such "gestapo" like tactics by way of the ballot box.
Yours for the repeal of the seat belt law,

(Editor's note: Since this tetter arrived at our office, the Sentinel
has learned that the seat belt charge was a Texas Department of

The word of God was proclaimed magnificently in both word

The president's Economic PIa"pSj^fjnWiy passed trie U.S.

^*^^pP*
What a battle the new guy on the block waged to get the wise
old men of the Senate to give his plan a chance.
Personally, I think the president deserves an opportunity to test
his economic theories. After all. he did win the electiotLj\noU>ne
thing is for certain, the upper chamber of our congress didn't do
anything to distinguish itself.
No telling how many cheap and sleazy deals were squeezed out
of the executive branch in order to secure much needed votes.
And then there was the cheesy spectacle of Sen. Bob Kerry
making sure we knew which.hack cast the vote to secure the tie
and ultimate victory.
His sly smile and lofty speech did nothing to caM a better light
on what was the el primo act of political opportunism. Anyone
want to bet ole Bob wasn't preparing his resume for the future. '
Since we be slinging out lots of political anger this week, let's
touch on one more sensitive nerve. Anyone else old enough or
well read enough to remember former Vice President John Nance
Garner's comment on the value of the vice-presidency?
I believe it went something like, "It's not worth a bucket of
warm spit."
Remember that the next time you catch the Bill and Al show on
CNN. I mean, a year ago Al Gore was a dynamic,
forward-looking U.S. senator. Now he looks like the president's
kid brother hanging on his every word. Such are the indignities of
politics.
So, President Clinton, go for it. the nation is hungry for
leadership and economic action. I, for one. will be watching and
hoping you succeed. You see, this is one game we are all players

Henderson
presents
bounty plan
to county
commission
PRESIDIO COUNTY - Marfa
trapper Cha'rlie Henderson
brought a 10-point coyote bounty program to Presidio County
Commissioners' Court Monday.
He also brought other trappers
and games officials to tell
elected county officials how
they address predators in their
neck of the woods.
Last month Henderson and
numerous ranchers told commissioners that the coyote
population was out of control
and asked that the county institute a bounty on the predators
that prey on wildlife and livestock.-——
Under Henderson's plan: the
bounty program would begin
Jan. 1, 1994, with $10,000 in
county funds; pay $10 per
bounty, which would eradicate
1,000 predators; the program
would end June 30, 1994, for
evaluation and continued if
deemed effective; if the program was continued after mid1994, the county should
consider adding bobcats and
mountains lions to the bounty
list; bounty permits would be
obtained from the county before
any request for bounty funds;
25 bounty permits would be issued to land o w n e r s or
operators per request; permits
then would be used by trappers
or bounty hunters at the permit
holder's discretion.
Bill Everett of Fort Stockton,
with the Texas A&M Extension
Service's Animal Damage Control Service, said his organization provides trappers, airplanes
and helicopters to West Texas
ranchers and counties, but
mainly in goat and sheep areas.
The service and counties that
join the program share the expense.
But with expected budget cuts,
there wouldn't be a position in
Presidio County, he said, although the service could come
in to "trouble shoot."
Ranchers in other counties
have formed clubs, paying
memberships to hire trappers
and hunters.
That's what trapper Mike Diilard does in Jeff Davis County,
he said.
Henderson said he believed if
the county started the program,
ranchers would help fund it.
Commissioner Jack Brunson,
the county's self-appointed
budget ombudsman, said he
would like to see more land
owner involvement.
Commissioner Felipe Cordero
agreed with Brunson, as did
Commissioner Juan Jose
Muniz, who said the program
would work best with a countyland owner funding partnership.
And Presidio County Judge
Monroe Elms questioned
whether urban taxpayers would
want the tax dollar spent on a
bounty program.
He also said he believed there
are other varmints to control,
including skunks and feral
hogs.
He questioned whether harvesting 1,000 coyotes would
make a dent in the population,
and suggested dropping the
bounty to $5 to all the kill of
2,000 predators.
Rancher Queenie Steen said
harvesting 1,000 coyotes would
make and impact, and Henderson said $5 wouldn't be cost-effective for hunters, and trappers.
Meanwhile, rancher Rick Tate
said ranchers continue to battle
the coyotes on their own.
Elected county officials said
they'd study the plan in conceit

against Marfa s tin can man
MARFA, PRESIDIO COUNTY - The city of Marfa and
Presidio County once again are
taking action against Marfa's
'tin can man,' Angel
Martinez.
With a scratchy AM radio
turned up and two dogs in tow,
Martinez roams the streets and
alleys of town collecting cans,
papers and food scraps...
Residents have long complained of the stench where
Martinez stashgs-ihe stuff he
collects.
Martinez last week was arrested on health and safety code
violations, and while he was in
the Presidio County Jail until
his release Friday, the city
began a clean-up of one of his.
trash stash locations, two abandoned adobe dwellings on East
Texas Street.
That is until workers had to
stop when walls began to collapse.
Since both dwellings now are
deemed unsafe and dangerous,
in addition to being health and
sanitation problems, the city
will begin condemnation
proceedings on the structures,
city attorney Cole Fulks said.
"It's a danger for anyone to
go in there," Fulks said.
"Rumors that Angel has a
treasure there are unfounded.
Persons are warned to stay
away or face trespassing charges."
Clean-up and demolition charges usually are assessed against
the property owner, in this
case, the Tomasa Aguirre and
Carmen Martinez estates, Fulks
said.
The city last year cleaned up
both houses, but since then,

Martinez again filled up the

On Monday, Presidio County

the authority to clean up

locations, this one located just
outside the city limit in 'sal si

F u l k s , who also is the
commissioners' court attorney,
said the property owner, Lucilla Contreras of San Antonio,
has given the county permission
to clean up her property.
Contreras also has been
charged with health and safety
code violations, Fulks said.
Cordero said that before he
begins a clean-up of the area,
he will contact civic groups to
see if they want to salvage any
recyclables at that site.

A team of Texas Tech scientists is studying preliminary
data from experiments investigating the effects of sludge on
West Texas rangeland.
The research project began a
year ago and includes several
experiments including studies
on how the sludge decomposes,
where the sludge constituents
go when they decompose, what
effects different application
amounts in different seasons
have on plant growth and soil,
and what effect watershed has
in terms of runoff and water
quality.
At the end of the fall, after the
growing season ends in October, a session between the
scientist and representatives
from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Texas Water
Commission and MERCO Joint
Ventures will be held to discuss
the initial findings of the project
slated to last six years.
MERCO alsoTecently marked
a one-year anniversary.
Late last July, the Oklahomabased company began commercially spreading New York City
sludge over a part of a 128,000acre ranch near Sierra Blanca in
Hudspeth County. A stipulation
of its contract with New York
was that the company involve a
major university to research the
effects of sludge on the land
and environment, Sosebee said.
The $1.6 million grant for the
Tech project comes from
MERCO and the New York
Environmental Protection
Division.'"
Also, the 120 acres the Tech
scientists are using for their experiments are part of the
MERCO ranch. The experimental spreading is surrounded to the north, south and
west with MERCO's commercial project, Sosebee said.
Some feel such a close marr i a g e of c o m m e r c e and
academia could compromise the
results of the study.
Reeves County Attorney Bill
Weinacht, a leader in that
county's fight against a similar
sludge project, was skeptical.
"Here's the problem: When
you're getting.paid $1.6 million
by the people applying the
sludge, I would be shocked if
the results came out anything
less than favorable," Weinacht
said.

when school starts Wednesday,
the first time the district has offered a pre-K class.
The district will use two state
criteria to qualify for the program, limited English language
s k i l l s and low income
guidelines.
The 1/2-day program will be
for 4-year-olds only, the board
decided, after discussing opening the class to 3-year-olds.
Elementary Principal David
Clark said IS students have
qualified for the program while
three children didn't qualify due
to either criteria.
The board also considered a
tuition for children who didn't
qualify, but decided against that
at this time.
Clark also noted the district
will continue its 1/2-day early
childhood class this year, and
five children have tentatively
qualified.

Henderson
presents
bounty plan
to county
commission
PRESIDIO COUNTY - Marfi
trapper Charlie Henderson
brought a 10-point coyote bounty program to Presidio County
Commissioners' Court Monday.
He also brought other trappers
and games officials to tell
elected county officials how
they address predators in their
neck of the woods.
Last month Henderson and
numerous ranchers told commissioners that the coyote
population was out of control
and asked that the county institute a bounty on the predators
that prey on wildlife and livestock:
Under Henderson's plan: the
bounty program would begin
Jan. 1, 1994, with $10,000 in
county funds; pay $10 per
bounty, which would eradicate
1,000 predators;" the program
would end June 30, 1994, for
evaluation and continued if
deemed effective; if the program was continued after mid1994, the county should
consider adding bobcats and
mountains lions to the bounty
list; bounty permits would be
obtained from the county before
any request for bounty funds;
25 bounty permits would be issued to land o w n e r s or
operators per request; ptrmits
then would be used by trappers
or bounty hunters at the permit
holder's discretion.
Bill Everett of Fort Stockton,
with the Texas A&M Extension
Service's Animal Damage Control Service, said his organization provides trappers, airplanes
and helicopters to West Texas
ranchers and counties, but
mainly in goat and sheep areas.
The service and counties that
join the program share the expense.
But with expected budget cuts,
there wouldn't be a position in
Presidio County, he said, although the service could come
iruo "trouble shoot."
Ranchers in other counties
have formed clubs, paying
memberships to hire trappers
and hunters.
That's what trapper Mike Dillard does in Jeff Davis County,
he said.
Henderson said he believed if
the county started the program,
ranchers would help fund it.
Commissioner Jack Branson,
the county's self-appointed
budget ombudsman, said he
would like to see more land
owner involvement.
agreed with Brunson, as did
Commissioner Juan Jose
Muniz, who said the program
would work best with a countyland owner funding partnership.
And Presidio County Judge
Monroe Elms questioned
whether urban taxpayers would
want the tax dollar spent on a
bounty program.
He also said he believed there
are other varmints to control,
including skunks and feral
hogs.
He questioned whether harvesting 1,000 coyotes would
make a dent in the population,
and suggested dropping the
bounty to $5 to all the kill of
2,000 predators.
Rancher Queenie Steen said
harvesting 1,000 coyotes would
make and impact, and Henderson said $5 wouldn't be cost-effective for hunters and trappers.
Meanwhile, rancher Rick Tate
said ranchers continue to battle
the coyotes on their own.
Elected county officials said
they'd study the plan in concert
with current discussions on the
county's. 1994 budget.

A team of Texas Tech scientists is studying preliminary
data from experiments investigating die effects of sludge on
West Texas rangeland.
The research project began a
year ago and includes several
experiments including studies
on how the sludge decomposes,
where the sludge constituents
go when they decompose, what
effects different application
amounts in different seasons
have on plant growth and soil,
and what effect watershed has
in terms of runoff and water

Alfred Gage foundation kicks
off CAT scan fund drive
FAR WEST TEXAS - Big
Bend Regional Medical Center
U pleased to announce that the
Alfred Gage Foundation has
pledged $50,000 toward a
$400,000 CAT scan project.
The Gage Foundation has its
roots in the Big Bend country
and was founded by the family
of Alfred S. Gage in his
memory.
R i c h a r d A r n o l d , administrator, stated the hospital
received written notice of the
pledge last week. "We must
raise all the funds for the
project in order to receive this
donation. It is just the kind of
boost our campaign needed so
we could go to foundations and
to our own community and say,
'We already have this much
raised, but we need your support too!"
According to Arnold, $2,000
has .been donated toward the
project in memorials and
private contributions. Another
$10,000 was received for the
project from an anonymous
donor before the $50,000
pledge from the Gage foundation, which is administered by
the Messrs. Roxana Q\ Catto,
Joan N. Xelleher, and Roxana
C. Hayne.
The regional CAT scan
project includes renovating and

and because the hospital has the

for specialist consultations in a
rural area at Big Bend Regional
Medical Center in 1990, will be
an integral part of the project.

summed up the project by
saying, "This type of diagnostics has been needed for years

Some unusual personalities at Bloys were the Banks twins of El
Paso. They are identical, and they dress the same. They have attended Bloys for 38 years, and they were not young when they
first came. Traditionally, they play a piano duet, "Church in the
Wildwood." This old hymn was written in honor of their aunt.
Another who was honored this year was Estelle Bloys. She is
the daughter of the founder of Bloys Encampment. We sang
"Happy Birthday" to her because she celebrated her lOlst
birthday this year.
Lee Barnett is keeping the Hal Barnett Hall going according to
his father's traditions. They added a flag pole to Hal's Hall this
year, and they flew Hal's casket flag from it. They lighted it at
night. What a fitting tribute to a grand person.

For several months the sounds of silence have been broken in
my neighborhood as a result of barking dogs. Like clockwork,
this nightly canine chorus begins around 11 p.m. and continues
off and on until the wee hours of the morning.
In as much as good judgment has precluded me from becoming
verbally abusive to the dog across the street and/or his canis
cohort down the road-the dogs themselves cannot and should not
be held a accountable for their actions.
_
Accordingly, I will direct my request to the owners or whoever
is responsible for these Dingos of Darkness. It would be greatly
appreciated if you would show a little "neighborly consideration"
to those around you by making an effort to silence your dog(s),
especially when it appears that he or shg has forgotten what time
it is!
- Thanking you in advance.

On behalf of the Presidio County Sheriffs Office, I want to
thank all the law enforcement agencies who helped in the capture
of the four escapees who last week walked away from a work
detail.
I'd especially like to thank Marfa Border Patrol Sector Chief
Patrol Agent Dale Cozart and all the Border Patrol agents
involved in the air and ground search.
Also Sgt. Madden and his DPS troopers from Marfa and Van
Horn, and Sheriff Ramirez and his deputies from Sierra Blanca.
It's cooperation like tins that makes law enforcement work in
West Texas. .
Sincerely,

Presidio County Sheriff

A growing outrage is taking place within our world of utility billings and I think its time full attention was drawn to it.
In the past two months or so both our electricity and phone bills
have doubled in physical size, complexity and, as I see it, pointlessness. I have had it explained that many businesses want all
this detail, but I am very dubious as to the numbers as of against
the vast majority who were more than satisfied with the former
much smaller...and even then, overly complex...versions. .
I spennhjrty minutes this past week just going through and finding whaVl owed, how to store this vast quantity of paper records
for future reference, and thinking of the incredible waste of paper
involved. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I do wonder if there is a little
arrangement between the manufacturers of paper and envelopes,
and our utility companies.
I'm 100 percent in favor of the conveniences that modern technology can now bring us. I'm also 100 percent opposed to the horrible waste, over indulgence in detail and general complication
that seems to go with it. There must be a better way to do business than this. I know I'm soon going to be paying the extra
paper charges hidden in my bills. That I don't want any more
than the time spent in wading through these piles of paper and
figuring out what to keep for.records and what to throw away.
What do you think, utility companies?* How about a letter of explanation from headquarters.

* PS. I am specifically referring to West Texas Utilities and
AT&T.
PPS. I have to include Southwestern Bell. My latest bill from
them, though it has not yet grown in physical size per sheet, numbered 15(!!!) pages. My phone calls cost $18.12, the bill was for.
$69.92 which of course included all the wonderful extra "services" plus taxes.
PPPS. Are we becoming a nation of suckers?
Editor:
Did I miss something last week? Did you report on the $115,000
or the $80,000 sanitation department budget?
Has there been a budget amendment I missed? Or, am I to
assume the letter from Chester Rowell represents the only

New business
offers unique
information
services
ALPINE - Freebird is a new
business in Alpine bringing a
slice of high tech to the Big
Bend.
The business is owned and
operated by John and Heather
Holland.
Their flagship service is The
ECHO, an information forum
that allows people to access
voice messages recorded in
Freebird's state of the art system.
So, what exactly does this
mean?
Well it means that now, for
the first time, the residents and
visitors of the Big Bend have a
way to get information like:
the time, a weather forecast
specifically for our area (by Joe
Lauria), answers to questions
like where to go?, what to do?,
where to eat and sleep?, or
maybe you just want to find out
if you've won the Lottery.
It's as easy to reach as your
touch-tone phone and it's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week and it's FREE to all
callers
We call it Telerrotification, but
it is easier just to describe it as
a voice bulletin board.
Through the ECHO we will
provide a versatile method of~
putting businesses, clubs, institutions and organizations
together with everyone they
want to contact or anyone who
may want information about
them.
Versatile, because it is available all the time. Not only can
the message be heard anytime,
it can be changed anytime as
well.
The .difference between The
ECm5 'anil'"other Yorms of announcement is that everyone
who listened to your message in
The ECHO, chose to.
Businesses can supplement
their newspaper and radio ads
with a reference to their code
number in The ECHO, then in
more detail describe their
product or service.
Clubs and organizations will
use their voice line to keep their
members informed about events
and activities.
One of the options available is
the ability to record a response
from the caller. This will be
used in many ways, for example, surveys, membership
recruiting, customer service, or
as a basic answering service.
Realtors will be able to give
tours of their real estate 24
hours a day, 7 days a week.
News media will be able to establish a hotline, both inbound
and outbound.
Residents can be informed by
local government of any action
or emergency, or respond to
questions from our elected officials and vice-versa.
Schools and the University
can make information available
about their goings on.
The applications are only
limited by the imagination.
Our goal at Freebird is to enrich our community, stimulate
the local economy and make
Alpine and the Big Bend'a finer
place to live and visit.
For more about our services
call 837-7090 (The ECHO) and
select code 910.
To get in contact with a
Freebird representative select
code 900 and follow the instructions.

Su/ Ross prof at meeting
Dr. Dale Christopherscn, Sul
Ross State University pre-law advisor and political science professor, is attending a special summer
institute sponsored by the Law
School Admission Council.
The meeting is being held in
Hampton, Virginia Thursday
through Sunday. The LSAC is
paying expenses for the summer
program participants. There will
be 44 pre-law advisors and 66
law school representatives at the
meeting.
The them for institute is Helping Students Prepare for Law
School. Sessions include choosing courses to develop the ability
to write effectively, reason logically and think analytically; fi-
nancing
legal
education:
problems -and solutions; Law
School Admission Test: measurement and correction of bias;
preparation for the LSAT; LSAT
prep session; mock law school
class; and the role of the pre-law
advisor, regional and national
pre-law advisor associations.
Christopherscn said that Sul
Ross students who plan to apply
for admission to law school
should watch for notice of the
first meeting of the Sul Ross PreLaw Association this fall.
"Philosophy 1303: Logic is being offer this fall, and it is a critical course for those interested in
law school," he said.
Play on Lt. Flipper coming to Fort Davis
FORT DAVIS - "Held in
Trust," a one-act, one-performer play about the life of
Lieutenant Henry O. Flipper,
the first black graduate of West
Point, will be held on the
grounds at Fort Davis NHS on
the evenings of Friday, Sept. 3
and Saturday, Sept. 4 . Both
performances are scheduled for
7:30 p.m.
The play, written by Albuquerque writer Bea Bragg and
Kansas playwright, actor, and
d i r e c t o r Richard Hobbs,
provocatively retraces the significant events in Flipper's life.
Born a slave in Thomasville,
Georgia, Flipper became the
first black officer of the U.S.
Army upon his graduation from
the U.S. Military Academy in
1877. Five years later he was
dismissed from the army having
been found guilty of "conduct
unbecoming an officer." For
the remainder of his life, even
though he went on to have a
brilliant career as a mining engineer, he sought unsuccessfully to clear his name.
Portraying the role of Flipper
will be El Paso actor and artist
Bob Snead. A former army
pilot, Snead has devoted a
lifetime to the study of the
"Buffalo Soldiers." A seasoned
actor, Snead's performance in
"Held in T r u s t " has been
termed sensitive and stirring.
"Held in Trust" was first performed by Snead on the main
stage at Sul Ross State University in 19*5. Since then it has
been presented at The Citadel,
the U.S. Military Academy,
numerous military installations
including Fort Bliss, Fort
L e a v e n w o r t h and Fort
Huachuca, and in Washington,
D.C. The performance at Fort
Davis will be sponsored by the
Friends of Fort Davis National
Historic Site and will be a part
of the organization's Tenth Annual Restoration/Preservation
Festival.
Tickets for "Held in Trust"
are $5 each and can be purchased in advance by writing
The Friends of Fort Davis
NHS, P.O. Box 1023, Fort
Davis, Texas 79734. Children
12 years of age or under will be
admitted free. Additional information on the play or the Festival can be obtained by

FAR WEST TEXAS - West
Texas Utilities Company said
that the Renewable Energy
project it is hosting in Far West
Texas will also participate in a
nationwide program-.
The local utility's parent,
Central and South West Corporation, is one of three electric
utilities selected by the U.S.
Department of Energy and the
Electric Power Research Institute to participate in a nationwide wind-power testing
program. .
During the next five years, the
$40 million program will
evaluate advanced wind-turbine
technology that is expected to
make wind power competitive
with electricity generated from
fossil fuels.
Central and South West will
receive a $2 million grant
toward construction of a wind
farm near Fort Davis, in the
WTU service area.
EPRI will provide an additional $3 million of funding thrdugh
a dollar-for-dollar cost-sharing
program. The grant will allow
expansion of the project to 6
megawatts from an originally
planned 2-megawatt facility
c o s t i n g $3 m i l l i o n . Six
megawatts of electricity can
serve approximately 2,000
homes.

E.R. Brooks, chairman, president and chief executive officer
of Central and South West, said
the CSW system expects to invest $10 million by 1997 to
study how renewable energy
technologies could benefit the
customers of its four electric
utility companies.
"Research and technological
advances could help make wind
and solar power affordable alternatives for our customers
early in the 21st century,"
Brooks said. "We're committed
to being good stewards of our
environment, and we're proud
that EPRI and the DOE endorse
our efforts."
and fewer parts ofTeduced
weight and cost.
The other two utilities selected
for the program are Green
Mountain Power Corporation in
Vermont and Central Maine
Power Company. The select i o n s were based on the
companies' progress in wind
power development. Other factors included geographic diversity and weather conditions.
EPRI and DOE plan to select
two or more projects for funding in the second phase of the
program, beginning in 1994.
Twenty-one utilities have expressed interest in the second
phase.
Brooks pointed out that research studies indicated wind
power in Texas alone could
supply approximately 10 percent of the electrical needs of
the United States. He said the
CSW project will help determine how much of this resource
can be practically used as well
as the environmental effects of
renewable technologies.
Central and South West Corporation, a Dallas-based public
utility holding company, owns
West Texas Utilities Company
and three other electric utilities.
These subsidiaries provide
electric service to 1.6 million
customers in Texas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana and Arkansas.
Central and South West also
owns Transok, Inc., an Oklahoma intrastate natural gas
pipeline subsidiary, and four
other subsidiaries.
A primary goal of both DOE
and EPRI is wind-power research to lower the cost of wind
power from the current 7 to 9
cents a kilowatt-hour to 4 cents
a kilowatt-hour by the end of
the decade.
The new wind turbines to be
tested in the DOE/EPRI program incorporate many improvements, including more
efficient blades, lighter
materials, streamlined designs

Donald Judd
Donald Judd:
A misunderstood artist
MARFA - It may be cliche,
but Donald Judd says he's a
misunderstood artist.
"IfT~were a plumber, I
wouldn't have this problem.
But no one takes art seriously,"
the world-renown artist,
sculptor and architect said.
That's why he said few people
sympathize or understand his
problem with the noise coming
from the West Texas Ice Co.

what Judd calls the center of his
Marfa project, La Mansana, or
'the block' in Spanish.
"The noise never stops. It's
impossible," he said.
Judd^s Marfa project is a massive plan to turn Marfa into a
thriving little West Texas town,
an art center, a scientific community, a retirement community, even a meat and
produce center.
The vibrations and noise coming from West Texas Ice Co.
are unpleasant and adversely affects the art Judd has at La
Mansana, he said.
Judd s a i d the unit is
"moderately loud but it just
never stops."
He said the noise deprives him
of one of his most important
tools at La Mansana, his private
library, which he describes as
the biggest west of the Pecos.
"I'm working all the time. I
read, write and sketch," he
said.
"My contention is this is a
residence but it's also a business. It's the center of it all."
He wants the city to apply
pressure on Horn.
"The truck just runs. It
shouldn't sit and run," he said.
Judd.said Horn's truck is a
safety hazard, which faces Brit
Webb's Texaco service station.
If the truck slips into gear "it
wouhtjust finish him."
Judd said he's put Marfa on
the map. "This place is now
very famous."
And because of that, he said
he. believes the townsfolk
should back him. "I've put a lot
of money in this town and I
can't get one piece of cooperation from the town."
Judd has threatened to close
down his Marfa project and
split his time between his
ranches in south Presidio County, New York City and abroad.
He's also threatened to put his
private holdings In a non-profit
foundation he formed several
years ago, the Judd Foundation.
By doing that, all hit property
comes off of the tax rolls.
"My ranches, too," he said.
If he is forced to move to his
ranches, he'll take his in-town
library with him, he said. "If I
move it to the ranch, I'm gone.
"If I can't live here and work
here we can close it," he said of
the Chinati foundation and his
private business, that of
renovating historic Marfa buildings and his architecture work.
Judd currently has about nine
architecture projects working,
mostly in Europe.
,He',s naw papered over the.
w i n d o w s to many of his
downtown Marfa buildings as a
beginning of the end of his
Marfa project.
When Judd purchased La
Mansana, he said he took into
account it was in a commercial
zone, located between U.S. 90,
the railroad tracks and in front
of the feed mill.
But he needed the space of
those two large buildings,
former Fort D.A. Russell
warehouses.
"It was where the two buildings were. It just happens to be
between the highway and the
railroad.
"That's intermittent noise," he
said. "I can live with that."
Judd says he has a right to
work and live at La Mansana,
adding he shouldn't have to
make a choice which of his
homes he lives and works.
He said he has a lot of ideas
for Marfa, but would like to see
a little support from the community.
Some of his ideas are continuing to develop Marfa as an art
center, making Marfa a scientific retreat center and a better
retirement community by purchasing existing homes and then
have a central food distribution
center.
Marfa, he said, should capitalize on its environment and bottle and sell Highland water, and
market Highland beef and
produce.
This week, the foundation is
hosting the annual meeting of
the Texas Nature Conservancy.
Some other misconceptions
Judd said he would like to clear
up is that he's not a Yankee and
that he pays a lot of property
taxes.
Judd was born and raised in
Missouri, and except for the
Chinati Foundation, all Judd
property - three ranches in
south Presidio County and
numerous building and houses
in Marfa - are on the tax rolls.
"I'm n o t h u r t i n g h i s
livelihood," Judd said of Horn.
"He's hurting my livelihood
and its easy to correct/
MARFA - Tom Horn is a
third generation ice man.
In t h e 1 8 0 0 s , H o r n ' s
grandfather, Walter Horn, cut
blocks of ice from a lake near
Platteville, Wisconsin, and
stored the ice using sawdust as
insulation.
Horn's father, Ted Horn,
learned the trade from his
father, Walter Horn, took over
the family business and then
later moved the business to
Texas.
In 1953, the Horn family
moved to Marfa, and his father
ran ice operations in Marfa and
Alpine, serving the Big Bend
country.
"I was raised at the old ice
house," Horn said, referring to
the old Marfa Ice Plant building
on Oak Street, a building now
owned by artist Donald Judd.
In 1970, after a stint in the
military, Horn took over the
family business after his father
died.
He said he purchased the new
truck - and refrigerator unit earlier this year.
"I need it for my-river
deliveries. The ice has got to be
refrigerated. It sometimes gets
112 degrees in the shade," he
said.
The refrigerator unit and
trailer are "just like an ice box,
a giant ice box, but that's all it
is," Horn said.
AntTlike a refrigerator in
one's home, it seems louder at
night, but isn't.
"I didn't buy a $45,000 rig
just to keep Judd up at night. I
bought it to improve my business," Horn said. "It's my
livelihood*. I don't have a
choice, and summer is the
busiest time."
B u y i n g an e l e c t r i c a l
refrigerator unit just isn't a
good business move,Tie said. "I
already bought one. It's diesel
powered. They want me to
' have an electrical one. It s still
going to make noise. I can't afford to convert to an electrical
unit."
He said he'd put an electrical
unit on if Judd buys it.
Horn said he asked for a loading zone after Judd instructed
his staff to park Judd vehicles
along Horn's side of the street.
"I didn't need one (a loading
zone) before. It's never been a
problem before until Judd
started parking there. He even
took junk vehicles out of
storage to park" on Horn's side
of the street, he said. "They've
parked there to irritate me,
using a city street to harass
me."
Horn s a i d l e a v i n g the
refrigerator unit on all the time
isn't a safety hazard, as Judd
believes.
What runs all the time is the
diesel-powered refrigerator
unit, not the diesel engine for
the tractor. "The truck motor
isn't on," he said.
Horn, who lives behind the
ice plant, says the noise doesn't
bother him. "I can't hear it
from my home."
He said he sometimes hears
the trucks pull up to,the God-'
bold feed mill behind Judd and
Horn, but that it doesn't bother
him.
Horn denies allegations that he
threatened to kill assistant to
Donald Judd Rob Weiner and
Judd construction foreman
Ramon Nunez.
The allegations are "untrue,"
Horn said.
Horn has a simple solution for
Judd: "He can work during the
day and s]eep_at-night, like
everybodyEelse," or move to
one of his other homes in
Marfa.
West Texas Ice Co. serves
Van Horn, Fort Davis, Big
Bend National Park, Terlingua,
Lajitas, Study Butte, Presidio,
Alpine and Marfa.
As to Judd's threat of starting
his own ice business, Horn
said,""Let Him do it. Competi-'
tion is good for business. I'll
still be here."
Tom Horn's new refrigerated tractor-trailer rig.
*"*mt-'
Judd, Horn
(Continued from page J)"^"""
The city declined, saying La
Mansana and West Texas Ice
are located in a commerciallyzoned area and that the ordinance would be too hard to
enforce.
A quieter, $6,500 electrical
ThermoKing .unit is a possible
solution to the problem.
Judd has offered to split the
cost with the city of Marfa, and
Horn has said he would put the
unit on his tractor-trailer rig.
But Marfa Mayor Jake Brisbin
Jr. said the city can't legally
spend taxpayer funds that way.
Judd also has threatened to
take his considerable Marfa
property off the tax rolls by
putting his holdings in a nonprofit tax-free status.
He's also threatened to cut
back the work of his Chinati
Foundation and has canceled
this year's foundation open
house, which last year attracted
about 1,000 people.
Throughout the ordeal, Brisbin has tried to broker a compromise without success.
He said he values both men's
businesses.
Meanwhile, both sides have
retained lawyers.
The feud is quiet at the moment as Judd has gone to his
home in Switzerland.
But he'll be back in September.

The Texas Water Commission
is considering ways to implement a monitoring program and
has identified several areas in
the state as having the potential
for groundwater contamination.
In its federal guidelines for
groundwater safety, the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency requires all states to
develop management plans for
particular chemicals identified
by the EPA. Each plan must include a monitoring program,
and the Texas Water Commission chose atrazine for its pilot
study.
Texas prepares for its first trial

need to brace themselves for
bearing the cost of pesticidefree groundwater.
Part of the cost could include
higher prices for agricultural
