T A M S to recruit area students
The Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (TAMS) is
interested in recruiting students
from your area, said Brent M .
Jones, Ph.D., director of admissions.
The program was developed for
gifted and talented students statewide.
Located at the University of
North Texas, TAMS was created
by the Texas Legislature in 1987
to provide an opportunity for talented students to complete their
first two years of college while
earning a high school diploma.
Students enroll in Uie academy
after their sophomore year in
high school, live in a UNT residence hall and attend regular
UNT courses. Their classmates
are U N T undergraduate and
graduate students. At the end of
two years, academy students receive a high school diploma and
at least 60 college credits hours.
Academy graduates stay at UNT
or transfer to other universities to
complete their bachelor's degrees.
The mission of T A M S , a residential early admissions college
program, is to offer an accelerated education for bright, motivated. Texas high school
students who have demonstrated
S a t e l l i t e
T V
at its Best
an interest in pursuing careers in
mathematics and science. The
academy also seeks to provide its
students with the companionship
of peers; to encourage students
to develop the creativity, curiosity, reasoning ability and selfdiscipline
that lead to
independent thought and action;
and to aid students in developing
the integrity that will enable them
to benefit society.
Tuition, fees, and books are
paid by the state of Texas.-Thestudent's family is responsible
for room and board, which costs.
$3,850 a year, although financial
aid is available. It is a unique
program that allows students to
get a two year head start on their
college education with minimal
cost to the family. Last year, our
graduating class of 163 seniors
received $2.5 million in scholarships to continue their college
education. We want as many students as possible urbe^informed"
of this valuable opportunity.

he said. On Saturdays7~Marfa~
postal customers must post their
Fort Davis and eastbound mail
by 10 a.m.
: "The dispatch times may seem
inconvenient, but considering
the current delivery standards, I
feel our customers will become
accustomed to dropping off their

said.

customers
with
eastbound mail must meet the

otherwise it will routed to El

"All other mail going west will
continue to be dispatched
through EI Paso." Cordova said.
Responding to requests by
postal customers in the tri-county
area, Cordova said the trial route
was a four-year-long effort by
area postmasters to improve
service.
"This six-month program was
granted to determine such factors
as its cost-effectiveness, that is,
operational expenses versus
revenue generated, customer
satisfaction and the projected
benefits to the region," Cordova
said.
"Although this is not the*
peFrrTaheht solution we had
initially sought from the
beginning, it most certainly
could become a foundatmn-forone with local and area support
from our customers." he said.
"Consumer service cards
always are available to our
customers who wish to express
comments, opinions and
suggestions concerning their
views of our efforts to improve
mail service out here in Far West
Texas during this six-month trial
period," Cordova said.

Friends group organized for Big Bend National Park
A new non-profit organization,
Friends of Big Bend National
Park, has formed to lend support
to Big Bend National Park, according to Superintendent Jose
A. Cisneros.
The mission of the group is to
"support, promote, and raise
funds for Big Bend National Park
in partnership with the National
Park Service and other supporters who value die unique qualities of this national resource
along the Rio Grande."
"This new group of park supporters has joined together to
help the park in these days of
tight government budgets," said
Cisneros. "These dedicated people recognize die national significance of Big Bend National Park
and want to help us in our mission of preserving die park's resources and serving park
visitors."
The Friends group elected a
Board of Directors at its first
meeting las weekend. The organization is now developing in-
formational materials and
recruiting founding members.
Lori Palmer, an independent
consultant for organizational development and project management, was elected president of
the board. Palmer is the former
Executive-Director of the North
Texas Food Bank and a former
member of the Dallas City Council.
Other members of the Board ofDirectors are Greg Henington of
Terlingua-Secretary; Jack Savage of Dallas-Treasurer; Dana
Kolb of Austin-Vice President
for promotion and public awareness; and Barbara Dooley of
Spring Branch-Vice President
for fundraising. Other hoard
members are Mike Dooley of
Spring Branch, Jack and Joan

Fort Worth, Cathy Cuevas of
Alpine, Gene Snelson of Austin,
Lee Simpson of Dallas and Hall

ways as possible through fundraising, public awareness, and
membership development. In
this way, citizens can make a
positive contribution to the future of this wonderful and unique
national park."
Friends of Big Bend National
Park are already^planning to
raise moneytdo-»match government funds for park projects, according to Cisneros. In its first
year, the group hopes to raise
funds for the construction of a
permanent entrance station at
Persimmon Gap and to rehabilitate campsites in die Chisos Basin Campground. Another
project in the works is research
to determine causes of poor reproductive success of peregrine
falcons in the Big Bend area. •

Their set will feature an eclectic
mix of Spanish, country and

Besides eating great food', bidding on quality auction items and
enjoying the entertainment,
guests may walk across the street
to visit the former Alamo Bar,
then VFW Hall, which is soon
scheduled for a major overhaul
to become Marathons' first community health center and clinic.
"We are using a lot of voluntary
help and donations of all types
and sizes to get this thing done."
said Combs.
A nonprofit corporation.
MPCS raised more than $ 19.000
in its first year and needs ap-,
proximately $26,000 more to
renovate the building. The group
is seeking donations over and
above the relatively low cost of
admission or the sale of auction
items, said Combs. Early response has been strong, with a
flow of donations already coming in, he added.

Letters to the editor
Editor:
The Fiesta del Fortin last week was a triumph. Indications
abound that the good people at parks and wildlife, teachers and
students at Presidio schools, volunteers from both sides of the Rio
Grande (including those from Panaderia Francesca in Ojinaga)
have brought this splendid structure back to life. It truly is one of
the great wonders of the TransPecos.
1 fell in love with this example of fine earth architecture upon
seeing it in 1991 and returned soon after as a volunteer to make
adobes for repairs. Today, the gift shop is featuring local wares,
books and postcards and the museum's permanent exhibit is
excellent. It shows a portrait of Benjamin Leaton, which, not just
at Halloween, will knock your socks off or raise the hair on die
nape of your neck with absolute dread: He has die eyes of a
madman and considering that he scalped Indians so readily,
selling them to both the Mexican and U.S. authorities, he is an
unsavory figure whose name should disappear from conversation
and certainly from official signage.
Let us speak of Juana Pedraza, a 21-year-old Mexican woman of
unclear origin, resourceful and imaginative enough to have
purchased almost the entire rich valley of Presidio. She seems to
have lived at the great hacienda we now know as El Fortin, and
when the United States took over die territory, she was to lose all
her holdings for lack of a legal deed of purchase, according to the
new regulations of the victorious occupant. Juana Pedraza held on
to everything by marrying a U.S. national, the murderer Leaton,
within the week of her husband's death. I was mystified to learn
that she had three children with him. While she footed the bills,
he developed the place into a thriving counter, selling supplies to
the wagon trains, sometimes 125 of them in long succession, on
the San Antonio-Chihuahua Trail and beyond. Leaton fortified the
hacienda and corral to ward off Indian raiders and cattle rustlers
in general.
Given the good spirit of the recent fiesta, I strongly propose:
first, that a student of Texas and Mexican history research and
write a doctoral dissertation on this ignored Juana Pedraza as an
extraordinary character of her time; and second, that indeed the
beautiful structure be renamed for what it is, a fortified hacienda
made remarkable by this woman and her fearsome destiny.
Hacienda Juana Pedraza. As a concession to amateurs of arms,
why not the Hacienda Fortificada Juana Pedraza.
With respect and enthusiasm.

I can appreciate your interest in the World Series, as my
evenings were devoted to the games (fortunately my husband was
not home to distract me) and even I, a long-time Atlanta Braves
fan, was pleased to see the Texas Rangers in the playoffs this
year, hut come on, rooting for the Yankees because Ted Turner
has a lot of money? Because one of Joe Torre's brothers died
during spring training and the other received a heart transplant
during die Series? Give me a break!
Ted may have millions but I don't think Yankees owner George
Steinbrenner is what you could call a pauper. In fact, the Atlanta
Braves aren't even the richest team in baseball. They rank third,
behind the Yankees and Baltimore Orioles. Mr. Steinbrenner was
also banned from Yankee management a few years ago because of
his business practices.
One other thought, I noticed a TV news magazine ran a spot on
the comeback of Yankee Darryl Strawberry, a three-time
suspended player because of drug use. Wow. what a role model!
How about a story on those players mat stay clean and don't get
into trouble? What about Atlanta's Chipper Jones? Have you ever
seen-such an ' A l l American Boy?' Or Andruw Jones from
Valenzuela? 19 years old in the World Series - hitting home runs!
I doubt if all die team members on the Braves are angels, but they
aren't arrogant (now that Deion's gone) or bullies. They are
gracious winners and losers. Atlanta never gets the respect it
deserves because the players stay out of the headlines. We will be
-hack-next year, as we have been the last five "years.
Besides, my theory for losing this year's Series is because we
didn't have enough dead people on our team (Torre's brother and
Wade Bogg's mother) plus lousy officiating."
A loyal Braves fan.

Editor:
I read with enjoyment and with understanding of the feelings of
the MCS coalition, or whatever it is called, regarding my letter
recently. However, it is not my intention to make The Big Bend
Sentinel a forum for MCS, nor is it my intention to spar words
with an attorney or a bank vice president, even though they are
retired and on disability. Everybody knows you never win a war
of words with an attorney. They always seem to get the last word
in.
I understand the problem the group is faced with and can
appreciate their problems. I, however, cannot grasp their solution
to spraying Bloys Campmeeting. If those suggestions I made were
offensive, I would like to point out it was only the same
suggestions made by others in the MCS group. If the solution is
building houses for swallows and dunks for mosquitoes, then I _
feelTonfidehTho one would object. Now is die timtTfor die M C S
group to get to work and just do it and not wait to complain just
before Campmeeting begins.
Now, regarding the bees. If you think it takes provocation of the
bees to cause them to sting, I would suggest you send flowers to
the family of an 86-year-old woman who recently was stung to
death in Arizona. I really question whether the woman was
provoking the bees while she was standing in her front yard. Yes,
there is always an exception to the rule and no doubt children will
he children.
If you think I have an active imagination -1 appreciateihe
compliment - but an active imagination is one similar to those of
an MCS group who, not too long ago, were subjected to some
aerial spraying. Many complained of various ailments after die
spraying as expected. Now here is where real imagination comes
into play. All of the spraying was done with water and not
chemicals. Talk about imagination. Real or invented! How can
this happen?
As to my experience with people with MCS problems, well you
are right, my experience and knowledge are limited, but I have
been part of the building of homes where MCS was of major
consideration. I may not know very much about MCS but I do
know that Mr. Mclntyre has been diagnosed by a famous Dr. Rea
of Dallas. I also know that MCS is not recognized by die
American Medical Association and that many doctors believe that
the disorder is psychological.
Arizona has been Californicated. We have every group of
environmentalist known to man. Many came from California
seeking cheap land and lower taxes. They brought their ideas with
them. Is this the case in Fort Davis, Marfa and Alpine? I guess it
goes without saying, too, that Dr. Rea is the person we have to
thank for pointing those with MCS in the direction of the Davis
Mountains. Why not Alaska? That's the nice thing about living in
the United States. We can always move if we don't like where we
live.
Mr. Mclntyre. my family has lived in the Big Bend area for 111
years, and Bloys Campmeeting has been in operation for more
than 100 years.-You have lived there for-11 years^Lifestyles are
pretty well set in the area, I would think by now. You now want
to change everything to your way of life. It may happen but it is
surely going to take time. I have empathy for your cause and
-perhaps someday we will have a chemieal-free soc-ietyr-Butfrankly, I have my doubts since being chemical free is virtually
impossible. As you know, everything we touch, smell and feel, be
it natural or man-made, consists of some kind of chemical, such
as food, clothing and shelter. Unfortunately in your case I guess
you can live neither with nor without chemicals.
I hope, Mr. Mclntyre, you find the way to live which you seek,
a chemical-free atmosphere, but I hope it's not at the expense of
ruining a wonderful environment that myfamily and many others ~
have known for more than 100 years. Yes, people can change and
change does not come without sacrifice, but in my opinion, in
trying to do so one must be patient and tread lightly. Lawsuits and
major lifestyle disruptions are not the answers. This only hardens
those against change.
Very truly yours,

WOOL GATHERING
A 'modest' furniture piece
The businessman called from Fort Davis. "Have you sold The
Monster yet?" It was startling to realize a nickname dubbed in
1969 had spread throughout the area.
It was a piece of furniture whose dimensions are roughly, well,
the bottom part about 8 feet by 4 feet by 3 feet; then a heavy
piece of marble on top of that; then the heavy top. which is about
8 feet long by 4 or 5 feet high. My estimates are not very good;
Nevertheless, it was a heck of a heavy piece of furniture, needing
a high ceiling to accommodate it. with drawers and doors and
shelves.
.
We got it at the Gold Bond Stamp store. In the old days when
you bought groceries, some of die stores gave you Gold Bond
stamps. There were books to paste them in, and after saving X
number of stamps, you could buy different items for lower prices.
Kitty Ivey, Rex Ivey's late wife, owned the store, the Iveys
being of Lajitas and Lajitas Trading Post lame. She built a new
home with a low ceiling and moved the piece of furniture down to
her store. When we moved into the old Orr Kerr house, we
bought the piece of furniture and Son No. 3 promptly named it
The Monster.
Kitty said it was built about 1865 and taken to the Texas frontier
about 1870. We never found out who brought it.

My new friend An-Bar Aknadat, a student of sociology and
anthropology from the University in Cairo, Egypt, was here to do
a river trip and also take in the chili cookoff.
"I was a litde uncomfortable with the cooking of wolves but the
music and scenery were quite enjoyable," said Aknadat.
When I asked Mr. Aknadat about the cooking of wolves he said
that, "In Egypt I'd heard Americans eat wolf chili and as I am a
supporter of wolf conservation I couldn't in good conscience eat
the chili."
I told him that Wolf brand chili was just that, a brand. He was
astonished and said that was a life-long belief.
He also said, "While walking through the cook-off I saw several
people with black electrical tape wrapped all around their bodies
and other people were throwing beer cans wrapped in adhesive
tape at targets placed on the people wearing electrical tape.
"In all my studies and travels I've never seen a more honest
demonstration of social cohesiveness."
At another spot at the cook-off, Aknadat says he saw a woman
drink U.ree gallons of beer in two and a half minutes. He was also
offered the chance, for 50 cents, to see a guy turn a flip or bend
over and kiss his own rear end.
"I paid $1.50 and saw him flip once and kiss his butt twice."
The chili cookoff was in two different places again this year and
there were lots and lots of people on the road. M y local friends
mosdy stayed off the road and the Terlingua schools were closed
the Friday before as a wise safety precaution.
An-Bar Aknadat had never been to the Big Bend and was a little
perturbed at his timing.
"I have never seen houses on wheels before," he said.
I told him that RV travel is very popular in the U.S. and he said,
"If you take your home with you everywhere, you've never been
anywhere."
As for his raft trip through Santa Elena Canyon, Aknadat said
that it was as beautiful a place as he'd seen anywhere in the world
but was a little puzzled at the fact that boats with motors were
allowed in the canyon.
"While those motor boats were around, it was totally distracting
and an abomination to the ear and to the place," he said.
"The trash left by a few of these people was sickening and
disgusting and should never be allowed by your government," he
added.
"In my country these people would be heavily fined or arrested
for making such a mess in a sacred place."
Spending time with my new Egyptian friend was interesting and
informative and his insights into the local scene this time of year,
i.e. chili cook-off the most crowded weekend of the year, were
pretty interesting.
Mr. Aknadat said he would return at a less hectic time of year
and I suggested he come in the middle of March.

State drug tax
under scrutiny
AUSTIN - The stale's drug tax
is a form of punishment and
blocks prosecutors from pursuing other penalties under the federal double jeopardy clause, the
Court of Criminal Appeals ruled.
Double jeopardy keeps people
from being punished or prosecuted more than once fur a single
crime. If drug-law violators are
hit with drug taxes, prosecutors
can't try to send diem to jail or
pursue other punishment, the
court said.
Andy Welch, a spokesman for
the Texas Comptroller's Office,
said the tax has brought in
$16j552 since being enacted in
1987.
Three of the judges dissenting
in the tax case said the imposition
of a tax is not necessarily punishment unless it is pursued.
According to the court records,
the defendant in die tax case,
Mark Stennett, was charged
$49,070 in taxes and penalties
for not paying taxes on marijuana
he was caught with.
Stennett paid $100 toward the
tax bill and then claimed charges
of possession could not be pursued.
The appeals court agreed.
"When the only persons subject
to the tax are those against whom
criminal charges have already
heen brought and who no longer
possess or otherwise exercise
. .any control over the taxable contraband, a claim that imposition
of the tax is not penal becomes
constitutionally implausible, particularly if,..the tax is remarkably high," the court ruled.
The tax rate is $98 per ounce of
marijuana.
The court acknowledged that

of seeing Fort Davis National
Historic Site by moonlight.
On Saturday, Nov. 23, 1996,

What w o u l d motivate u person
to become a c h i r o p r a c t o r rather
than an M . D.?
Chiropractic involves a natural
approach to healing that does not
include the use of medicines or surgery. A recent study reported that
more than halt ul all Americans
sought care from alternative health
care practitioners including acupuncture, massage therapy, reflexology, and others. A s the most popular alternative care in America,
many highly motivated individuals
easily gravitate to chiropractic specifically because it does embrace a
natural approach to health. Medical
care, though certainly necessary in
many instances, does not as a rule
emphasize nutrition, exercise, and
other popular means of staying
healthy.
I recently v i e w e d an NFL v i d e o

l » S :
It is far more c o m m o n than you
might imagine. They have found
that regular chiropractic care often enhances their performance in
addition to being very effective in
returning them to peak performance following an injury. Doctors don't talk about the patients
that they treat any more than a p a tient typically goes a r o u n d talking
about their health care and that's
the reason you. don't usually hear
aboutwho is being treated by a chiropractor.

What Parents and Fans Can Do
Horns
From the Marfa High School Athletic Department
Help the school conduct fair and equitable competition: adhere to
rules, uphold the law, and respect authority.
Remember that officials are human and make mistakes, and respect
their decisions.
Delegate authority to the school, then back up the decisions made
by the school.
Set standards by which you expect children to conduct themselves,
and live by those standards yourself.
Be aware of capabilities and limitations of young people: don't have
unrealistic expectations.
Let your children live their own lives - not relive your life.
Be involved in areas in which your own child is not involved, thus
contributing to school unity and spirit.
Show respect to the opponents of your children
Praise - don't criticize - all youngsters.
Be attentive to the needs of students.
Help your children and their friends develop integrity through the
intensity of competitive activity.
Remember - the classroom comes first!

opportunity for sportsmen.
During the annual aerial survey
in September, 60 sheep were
seen on the mountain. To keep
sheep at a population level which
the presejit habitat on the
mountain can support and assist
with other reintroduction efforts,
10 more sheep will bejelocated
to Black Gap W M A in south
Brewster County later this fall.
ABILENE - Packer concentration, beef quality and the future
of the cattle industry were the
main issues on cattle raisers'
minds at the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association meeting on October 25-26,
said Chaunce O. Thompson Jr.,
association president.
About 250 association leaders
met in Abilene for the fall board
of directors meeting.
Paul Engler, chief executive officer of Cactus Feeders in Amarillo, said there are eight serious
challenges to making the beef
industry "a dynamic and profitable one which consistently
meets consumer needs and increases our share of the market."
The first is excessive supplies.
The seven other challenges described by Engler are loss of
demand, product quality, food
safety, excessive production
costs, packer concentration, captive supplies and private property
rights.
' Jack Hunt, president and chief
executive officer of King Ranch
Inc., told the cattle raisers that
this is an exciting but troubling
time-to-heln the cattle business.
"I think we are seeing two major
changes in the way our industry
and its product, beef, are being
viewed. First, cattle production
is declining as a relative source
of income from ranch or openspace land'uses," he said. "This
second change is that beef is
tending to become a food ingredient rather than a unique or
stand-along food product."
Hunt predicted several changes
in the beef industry as it moves
into the next century. He said
individual animal identification
is imminent and also predicted
that the use of new technology,
like DNA testing and gene mapping, will accelerate the process
of consistently producing specific genetic traits.
Ernie Davis, agricultural
economist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, discussed the results of a
TSCRA-requested analysis of
how beef-packer concentration
in the non-fed slaughter sector
impacts cow-calf producers.
From data that was furnished by
USDA's Grain Inspection, Packers and Stockyards Administration, Davis concluded that the
amount of slaughter controlled
by the four largest packers in
each region of the United States
was surprisingly high. He said
the four largest firms in Texas
slaughter more than 70 percent.
BREWSTER COUNTY - A
desert bighorn sheep hunt took
place the first weekend in
November at Elephant Mountain
Wildlife Management Area
(WMA) south of Alpine, and one
ram was harvested by Larry
Holland of Garland. .
Holland was the randomly
selected recipient of the Texas
Grand Slam, and the hunt was the
first at Elephant Mountain since
the initial release there -of 20
sheep in 1987.
The grand slam is a newly
introduced Texas Parks and
W i l d l i f e Department hunt
package that consists of a quality
guided hunt for one pronghorn
antelope, mule deer, white-tail
deer and desert bighorn sheep.
Hunters could apply for this
draw hunt by purchasing an
unlimited number o f $10
applications at any licensed
vendor location. One random
applicant and a guest were drawn
from these applications to
participate in the four hunts at
various locations in Texas.

FORT WORTH - The volunteer leaders of the Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association met in Abilene last
week to set policy and work for
profitability in the cattle industry, said Chaunce O. Thompson
Jr., TSCRA president.
Thompson said times are tough
for ranchers, who have been
struck by low cattle prices, short
feed supply and drought'.
The meetings were devoted to
committee business and policy
development. Topics included
natural resource conservation,
wildlife management, cattle marketing, theft prevention, animal
health, labor, agricultural research and legislative issues.
TSCRA also approved a resolution in support of state funding
for Texas Tech University's agricultural research programs,
which include studies on beefGary Graham of the Texas

and John Campbell of USDA's

Austin attorney Ed Small updated the leaders on Texas water

Aquifer to file documents which
will include information on historical use of water.
H. Russell Cross, director of
the Institute of Food Science and

R a i n harvesting roof
Many people have been asking us lately what is the use of a
rain harvesting roof in such a dry place as Marfa. To tell the truth,
we don't have an answer that can satisfy those persons who
don't believe as we do that a rain harvesting roof is one of the
most important things to a self-sufficient society anywhere in the
world. The concept of water and its consideration is a great appreciation value. Remember, pre-Socratian philosophers insisted
that water is the most flexible material (gas, ice ...) and so it is
the primary reason for existence. Soon, all the soil around the
world will be contaminated with radioactivity and RHR is a suggestion for a way of getting water before its reaches the ground,
and pollution. Also, its function is extended by collaborating with
the helicopter flights existence on the territory. The helicopter's
flight schedule are hours the alternative energy is created.
