Second sludge dump
slated for West Texas
SIERRA B L A N C A - Far West
Texas, which already is home to
Texas' largest sewage sludge disposal project, may be in line to
receive even more waste in years
to come.
Provided Texas approves, New
York City plans to continue
sending its sewage sludge for another 15 years to the Sierra
Blanca and Van Hom areas.
"Our greatest fears are coming
true," said Sierra Blanca resident
Bill Addington, who has opposed
sludge dumping and the proposed radioactive nuclear waste
dump. "West Texas already is
being dumped on by several en-
tities and will continue to be until
the people and politicians say
no."
New York began shipping its
sludge to a 128,000-acre Sierra
Blanca ranch in 1992 under a
six-year contract with MERCO
Joint Venture, a New York City
and Oklahoma-based disposal
company.
The contract called for
MERCO to spread 100 tons of
sludge in West Texas each day.
Sludge is a soil-like byproduct of
wastewater treatment that can be
used as fertilizer.

His proposal would increase the

schools, the newspaper quoted
unidentified sources as saying.

When asked about his brother
being the only employee left at
the housing authority, Lara said.
"We felt we needed to keep dayto-day maintenance and work orders done."
Lara also said that the board
would be asking for an audit as
soon as possible. "This will be
the best thing to do before we
hire a new executive director."
Sources have said that the board
is considering hiring former Executive Director Charlotte
Ishikawa, who resigned earlier
this year for health reasons.
"The only thing I can tell you is
that I don't go by hearsay. The
position is open to everyone and
we will hire the best qualified
person," Lara said.
Said Villa: "We're going to advertise for the position, look at
the applications and go' from
there. We are going to consider
all the applications that come in."
The next scheduled meeting of
the Marfa Housing Authority
will be held December 4.

Letters to the editor
Editor:
For the benefit of your readers who may have been surprised,
upon turning to the inside continuation of last week's front-page
story on Presidio County and others' participation in the
upcoming court fight against the proposed Sierra Blanca nuclear
dump, to find on the same inside page an article claiming that
transportation of radioactive waste is safe and commonplace, I
offer the following:
The first article falls into the category of "news" - that is, it
covered an event of some importance to the region and was put
together from news reports and the input of involved persons.
The transportation story is a "press release" - a mailout sent to
newspapers around the state by the public relations employee of
the Texas Low Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Authority
(TLLRWDA). the state agency commissioned to establish the
nuke dump.
To calm the fears of us "receptors" (as T L L R W D A officials
have been known to refer to dump neighbors), the PR flack
employs a carpet bombing technique, scattering inaccurate,
self-serving releases like this one among the newspapers to the
state. Some, like this one, find their way into print.
The truth, of course, is that trucks carrying radioactive waste
crash and burn at roughly the same percentage as trucks carrying
anything else - a number, incidentally, that the Texas Department
of Transportation puts at about 20 times the T L L R W D A ' s
generously-massaged figure.
Sometimes, as happened in Beatty, Nevada, in May 1979, the
waste truck can hurst into flame without a traffic accident.
Accidents are, by their nature, random, and they are equally
likely to occur in areas unprepared to deal with radioactive fires
as in areas with preparation.
T L L R W D A also generously underestimates potential human
exposure near transportation accidents, assuming evenly-disbursed
clouds of radiation over a wide area.
I have before me an approved application by Maine Yankee
Atomic Electric Co. to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to
ship a rather large piece of "low-level" radioactive waste to the
dump at Barnwell, SC. Tlie waste described is a steam generator,
weighing 273,000 pounds and totaling 441 curies of radioactivity.
To put that in perspective, your pickup will not carry this load,
and it contains more than 400 times the amount of radioactivity
found in the amount of medical radwaste shipped by most states in
a whole year.
^_
And this is one shipment, from Maine Yankee, which is awaiting
approval of the proposed Tristate Compact to send other such
shipments along Interstate 10 to Sierra Blanca, where, the state's
PR arm assures us, they will not leak in our air, soil and water.
And, of course, there will be no accidents along the way. Snake

How many of you voted straight party ticket in tlie last election?
I think this should be eliminated from the ballot. It sends a
message to voters that they don't necessarily have to educate
- T h e m s e l v e s ahout the candidates or what they stand for on the
issues. We should encourage today's voters to become more
involved in learning as much as they can about each candidate.
I admit that I have voted straight party several times in the past,
but the more I got involved in elections and political campaigns,
~~theTnore iTealized thatwas-a mistaker
Political parties don't have the same meaning or power as they
once did. Most candidates have their own agenda, which may not
agree with platform of their party.
There is no standardized procedure that states one must vote for
all Democrats or all Republican^ndjdaiejijin^the ballot. Vote for
'the candidate that shares the same beliefs and ideas as your own, a
candidate you can trust to fulfill their responsibilities in improving
you community.
Don't let these candidates lide on the coattails of the party label
or of a popular candidate. Make th,em work during their political
campaigns, make them come to you in order to have your
questions answered. Give them the message that billboards,
campaign signs and T V ads aren't enough to satisfy your curiosity.
I encourage everyone to vote and become more involved with
political issues. Our children's future lies in tlie hands of these
elected officials.
Politicians believe that they have the power, but they are wrong.
The power truly lies in the hands of the voters. Let's start using
this power that we have.

people. Nevertheless there are frequent exceptions to which
unhappily our society's criminal dockets often testify. There is no
reason to believe that a certain proportion of those same statistics
will not reappear, despite military discipline, within our armed
forces. They are reappearing and though we may hold individual
commanders responsible, we should realize that we are having to
deal with something we should have anticipated.
Readers of my letters will know that I'm usually pretty "far left"
in my opinions and hence not inclined to be at all sympathetic
with sexism, racism or any other form of intolerance. At the time
of the above mentioned debates I was, as I recall, generally in
agreement with those final decisions, though never very
^m/orjable. "Human rights" have never been of major
importance in my thinking...too often there are other factors of
more pressing consideration...out in those cases it seemed "the
right thing to do." Now in retrospect I am harboring more and
more doubts either to my or our national wisdom. I don't know
what the experience has been with other nations that I gather have
the same kind of sexual integration that we have, but I strongly
suspect that our own historic record of freedom and lax social
controls is one more conducive than most to thisjireaj^ljavn
within our armed forces.
I can only quote one other example within our current society
that gives me grounds for these beliefs. The present drive to allow
marriage within a homosexual relationship seems to be gaining

Galloping gourmet
Have you ever, while cooking pancakes, noticed that the second
batch is always the best? Tlie cook urges everyone to go on and
eat without waiting, and who ends up with the tastiest - the cook,
of course.
Same goes with watermelon. Years ago, when there were many
community barbecues down on the river; we would go and enjoy
the fried catfish, frijoles, potato salad, salsa, and watermelons,
fresh from someone's garden. Iced down in big battered washtubs.
We always felt sorry for the men who energetically cut up the
watermelons until every guest had been served. Then the men
took themselves off, squatting around the cookfires, tin plates in
hand, eating the main course and finally finishing with the
watermelon pieces there were lefrr
They were so altruistic. When they carved up the watermelon,
they started on the outside, giving out generous red slabs until
there were only the remains - the core of the watermelon, the best
possible part;
—~~
Two other memories of those fish fries: the kids always loaded
their mouths with the black watermelon seeds and spent the rest of
the time, running around at dusk, spitting expertly at likely
victims.
And we always took some of the rinds home with Us to work late
into the night cutting off all thtredmeat left,and getting out
crocks to soak the rinds in a concoction of lime water, until days
later, we had the best watermelon pickles in the world.
K-Bob's in Fort Stockton and Southern Seas in San Angelo, at
times, have watermelon pickles that approximate the taste.
Meanwhile back at the stove, I piously cook and urge eveiynne"

Editor:
Very much in the news these days is the problem that our armed
services are having with sexual harassment and general
misconduct within their ranks.
It's not a pretty sight nor one that evokes great respect or pride
in those services that exist for the precise purpose of guaranteeing
our safety and protection.
What is wrong? Is it that we have bad or incapable or unthinking
senior commanders who do not know how to control those service
people under their direction and orders? Certainly a number of
them have already been "called on the carpet" and some have
been removed. Is that where true correction of this situation lies?
This may be partly the solution but I would like to offer some
further thoughts.
'Two very controversial issues and consequent decisions have
been made in recent years about our armed forces. One was
whether to accept.and keep homosexuals within the service, and.
the other was whether to fully integrate females into those same
services. Both have been done. This was a great stride forward in
extending our strongly felt faith and belief in human rights for
minorities and women. Though many expressed doubts and
opposition, the overall weight in support of those rights won out.
One very important factor or consideration, however, was left
out in those debates and controversies. Both these proposed
extended grantings of rights involved the most basic of all natural
human drives, that of sex. There is no more powerful an instinct
than this in the human being but fortunately one that is normally
held under reasonable control by most responsible and civilized

Sul Ross delivers humiliating defeat to McMurry University infinalgame
ALPINE - Sul Ross State University rolled up 466 yards on
offense while the defense capitalized on four McMurry University turnovers to embarrass the
Indians 35-7 in Abilene Saturday.
Collectively, in two games
against McMurry this season, the
Lobos outscored the Indians 7414. Saturday's win gave the Lobos'a share of the American

ALPINE - A $468,000 pledge
lo Sul Ross State University by
the San Antonio Livestock Exposition is the largest in the history
of the university, and the first
check pushed Sul Ross endowments over the $4 million mark.
Sul Ross President R. Vic Morgan said S A L E pledged
$140,000 for each of the next
three years for the endowed
scholarship fund bearing the organization's name and $12,000 a
year for the next four years for
graduate assistantships in range

"The $420,000 pledge to the
scholarship fund will enable us to
endow 16 4-year scholarships
with a minimum of $10,000
each," Morgan said. "The increases in the individual scholarships will be phased in as the
funds are received."
When the S A L E pledge is complete, Morgan said that Sul Ross
endowments carrying the S A L E
name would total more than
three-quarters of a million dollars. "The grand total of S A L E
endowments will be $791,000,
making it the largest single contributor to the university."
Sul Ross is in the middle of its

Boots Kellar is a nationally
known painter, sculptor, a professional pianist and organist,
writer, amateur anthropologist
and historian.
Excerpts form her book, 'Lines
of Time,' reveal Kellar's affirmation with a noted rock art
researcher who contends that
petroglyphs are not the work of
simple natives trying to depict
the animals and life around them
but instead are based primarily
on sign language and cryptography.
Wintering in Alpine, Kellar
heralds from Spearfish Canyon
near Dead wood, South Dakota.
She is accredited with the Governor appointed position of being
one of the founding members of
the South Dakota Fine Arts
Council based upon her many
years of not only her own artistic
contributions but on her many
philanthropic efforts in promoting the arts and for her countless
hours of teaching both children
and nursing home residents
alike, as well as founding the
Black Hills Art Association. For
the past 30 years Boots has taught
art classes in Santa Fe, New
Mexico during the winter months
and Alpine is fortunate indeed to
have such a talented and intriguingly prolific artist to grace its
town.
ALPINE - Retired businessman
.Archie B . Scott will be presenting an exhibit of 'Geodes' at
Tom's Patio and Country Cottage on Gallery night in Alpine
Saturday.
Geodes are one of nature's most
beautiful creations. They were
formed over millions of years
when volcanic bubbles filled
with silicon. This silicon was in
acidic solution which seeped
slowly into the bubbles and dried
leaving agate and quartz crystals
colored in various hues by the
minerals in the soil sucfr as iron
chlorine, sulfur and manganese!"

Quiroz indicted on felony
charges by Pecos grand jury
PECOS - Pasqual Levario Quiroz, suspected in the shooting
death of a man two weeks ago in
Ojinaga, and himself wounded in
the incident, was indicted on
three felony charges last week by
the Pecos federal grand jury, according to the Pecos Enterprise.
Not only was Levario indictedon an illegal entry charge, which
was filed by the U.S. Border
Patrol - La Migra - he also was
indicted by the U.S. attorney's
office on charges of bringing and
transporting a firearm into the'
United States from Mexico while
under federal indictment. '••
The weapons charges are punishable by up to five years in
prison and a $250,000 fine. Illegal entry is a misdemeanor punishable by three to six months in
prison and a $5,000 fine.
After he was wounded, Levario
made his way upriver, crossed
the Rio Grande to his mother's
home in Redford, and later was
transported to Big Bend Regional
Medical Center in Alpine.
Redford isn't a designated port
of entry and upon Levario's release from the hospital, the Border Patrol charged him with
illegal entry.
Levario, who suffered a gunshot wound to the shoulder, is
being held in the Brewster
County Jail in Aline.
Levario is alleged to have shot
to death Esau Franco Ramirez,
alias ' E l Pirucho,' in Ojinaga.
Ojinaga law enforcement officials said Franco suffered eight
gunshot wounds and died at the
scene.
'-,
Mexican authorities have issued an arrest warrant for Levario on a murder charge, and
they were expected to request
that he be extradited.
Mexican police have said they
put the bullet in Levario as they
attempted to arrest him.
L e v a r i o reportedly killed
Franco because Franco kidnapped Levario's mother and
held her for ransom several years
ago.

how a hotel was run early in the

they
were

They
learned
about

how to rriiikti pottery, uui dour
cooking the cavalry way. how
to make brooms, and about
Indians.
Their favorite activity seemed
to be marching in a drill while
carrying wooden muskets. It
was a very chilly day so they
got to go to the coliseum to eat
their sack lunches.
While at the coliseum, they
were able to observe the
Budweiser Clydesdale horses
being exercised in the arena.
They learned several things
about the horses also.
The fourth and fifth grade
reading classes have had the
pleasure of having Mrs.
Shawnie Martin teaching them
first in science and now in
reading.
She is doing her student
teaching here and doing a great
job. In reading she is guiding
the children in the fourth grades
through Charlotte's Web where
they are doing many fun
activities as well.
In the fifth grades she is
working on skills this week but
will begin guiding them through
the book called Shadow of A
Bull next week.
The students will be learning
about the art of bullfighting in
this book.

PRESIDIO C O U N T Y
Presidio County officials last
week decided to let the city of
Marfa alone pursue a grant to
entice a tomato farm expansion
to Marfa.
.
'
Despite the city's vote last
month to apply for a $500,000
Texas Capital Fund grant, the
item was on last week's Presidio
County agenda for county officials to apply for a similar grant.
After much discussion, it was
decided to let the city of Marfa
carry the ball alone. County officials endorsed the city's effort
to pursue the grant funds.
To locate near the Marfa airport
north of town, a natural gas line
must be extended to the site. The
gas line is located about one mile
east of the site.
Marfa Mayor Fritz Kahl said if
the grant is approved, the city
PRAYER TO THE HOLY
SPIRIT. You who solves all
problems, lights all roads so that
I can attain my goals. You who
gives me the divine gift to
forgive and forget all evil against
me in all instances of my life;
you are with me I want in this
short prayer to thank you for all
things as you confirm on me
once again, so that I will never
be separated from you; inspite of
all materials and illusion. I wish
to be with you in eternal^jlory^
Thank you for your mercy
towards me and mine.
This prayer must be said for
three consecutive days, without
mentioning your petition, after
the third day the favor will be
granted even if it is difficult.
This prayer must be published.

On Tuesday, Nov. 5, we had the privilege to vote. It is important
that we exercise this right and choose the individuals that will lead
this country into the 21st Century.
The choices that we as adults make today, will effect our
children's future. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education
(D.A.R.E.) Program is designed to help our ftiture children make
good choices.
During the 17-week curriculum that is taught to the 5th and 6th
grade classes, D . A . R . E . teaches students how to make good
choices about not only saying no to drugs, but how to make
choices about disagreements, and how to resolve conflicts and
avoid violence.
The main idea about choices are to examine options, and look at
the consequences that are involved with their choices. Kids learn
how to make their choices based upon what is best for them. I
write to encourage parents to make good choices and vote for the
future of our children. Make a choice to be good role models for
your kids. Choices and opportunities are available, and it is
important for all people to make good choices for a better future.
D . A . R . E . ..Does it Work? Why D . A . R . E . ? Many questions
have been asked about the effectiveness of D . A . R . E . I can tell
you from my own personal experiences with the Marfa D . A . R . E .
program that it is working.
Attitudes change, the students look at serious issues that are
facing society, and use skills taught in D . A . R . E . to real life
situations.
This year, I see that 5th and 6th grade students are very
receptive of D . A . R . E . , as were last year's classes. Nationwide,
D . A . R . E . is still the most effective drug abuse prevention
program of its time.
Studies indicate a significant decrease in drug and violent related
incidents among children that have completed the D . A . R . E .
curriculum. This is important, because D . A . R . E . is designed to
prevent incidents before they occur. It is much cheaper to educate
children to say no to drugs and violence then to rehabilitate them
after the fact.
That is why support for D . A . R . E . is critical in our community.
Support our kids and D . A . R . E . in Marfa.
Things have been so busy around the library lately, that I had
not had time for a newsletter.
During Halloween day, the Friends of the Library helped
'
sponsor a costume contest. About 25 children participated in the
contest.
The judges Maya Keck and Joey Benton had a hard time picking
the winners as they all looked great. Winners were: Kareem
Cervantes, 1st place; Crystal Garcia, 2nd place; and Yasmine
Guevara, 3rd place.
Each winner was presented with a ribbon and a book.
Refreshments were served and bags of trick-or-treat goodies were
given to all that participated. Our sincere thanks to Maya and Joey
for a job well done.
The Marfa Public Library hosted a workshop for librarians on
Nov. 8 in the Gervasi Room of the library. The workshop titled Weeding: Policies, Procedures & Concerns was presented by
Margaret Irby Nichols. Twenty librarians, board members and
volunteers attended the workshop. During the workshop, the
librarians were taught how to use the Texas State Library's Crew
manual, learned the value of weeding, and how to develop
weeding criteria for different subject areas. The entire workshop
was very informative.
We'd like to remind you that the Friends of the Library will
have the dollhouse giveaway on December 19. So, if you haven't
bought your ticket, now is the time to do it. For a $1 donation,
you can have a chance of winning the beautifully handcrafted
dollhouse donated by Pam Harris.
Plans have been made for the Christmas open house to be held
on December 19. Once again, we ask if you have any items you
would like to donate to the children's bazaar.
For all newcomers, the children's bazaar is a project for
children in grades preschool through Sth grade. The children will
be able to do their Christmas shopping for their parents and
siblings during this Christmas bazaar. If you have any items you
would like to donate, please call us. We will be more than glad to
pickup the items. All items will be sold under $2.
.This project has been a big success in the past years thanks to
the hard work of the Friends, the many donated items from the
History Club members and other individuals. Your continued
support is sincerely appreciated.
.SeveraLnew books have been added to our shelves. The new
additions are all displayed on one book cart. Do take time to
browse, you may find something of interest to you.
On display is a replica of the Taj Mahal which belongs to Mrs.
Jack Kelly. Mrs. Kelly acquired the replica while studying in
India during 1930. The history of the Taj Mahal is very
interesting. If anyone would like to read about it come by the
library.
'Till next time, see you at the library.

Marine L C P L Mario Levi Mendias, of Marfa, has been
deployed for a six month stay in Japan.
While in Japan he will travel to Okinawa, Tokyo, Mount Fuji
and South Korea.
'
After this assignment he will be promoted to the Tank of
Corporal.
Mendias is a December 1994 Marfa High School graduate and

Ruben R . Ortiz, son of Nelda Ortiz of Marathon, recently
returned from a six-month overseas deployment to the western
Pacific and Indian oceans, and Persian Gulf with the 13th Marine
Expeditionary Unit, embarked aboard the ships of the USS
Tarawa Amphibious Ready Group.
Ortiz was one of more than 2,000 Marines who departed Camp
Pendleton and El Toro, Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., as part of the
USS Tarawa Arg. which also included the amphibious assault ship
USS Tarawa, the amphibious transport dock USS Du'.uth and the
dock landing ship USS Rushmore.
Early in the deployment, Ortiz's unit participated in a joint
exercise combining U.S. Navy, Army, A i r Force and Royal Thai
Forces. Airborne and amphibious landings were conducted during
the largest combined U.S. - Thailand exercise of the year.
In late August, Ortiz's unit remained on call in the Persian Gulf
after Iraqi military forces invaded the Kurdish safe zone in
northern Iraq. While in the Middle East, Ortiz also participated in_
live-fire training with Jordanian forces and an amphibious landing"
exercise in Kuwait.
Ortiz's unit is a crisis-response force that is special operations
capable, enabling it to rapidly organize for combat operations in
virtually any environment. MEUs are divided into an infantry
battalion, an aircraft squadron, a support group and a command
element. With the combination of these teams, Ortiz's unit
supplies and sustains itself for either quick mission
accomplishment or clearing the way for follow-on forces.
During Ortiz's 32,000-mile, 182-day voyage he visited Bahrain,
Djibouti, Jordan, Kuwait, Malaysia, the Philippines, Saudi
Arabia, Singapore, Thailand and the United ATab Emirates.
The 1991 graduate of Marathon High School joined the Marine
Corps in November 1992.
Navy Seaman Recruit John H . Gomez, son of Mary L . Gomez
of Valentine, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at
Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, III.

instruction, and an'emphasisjon physical fitness. In particular,
Gomez learned naval customs, irst aid, fire fighting, water safety
and survival* and a variety of safety skills required for working
around ships and aircraft.
Gomez and other recruits also received instruction on the
Navy's core values - honor, courage and commitment - and what
the words mean in guiding personal and professional conduct.
Gomez joins 55,000 men and women who will enter the Navy this
year from all over the countrv.
Gomez is a 1996 graduate of Valentine High School.

Unfortunately, CFC members won't be sick-resistent and some
of them may even have mental illnesses. For that reason, we are
suggesting the MC, which includes a psychotherapy aide. A
group of well-trained medical doctors as well as psychotherapists
will be ready to fight any kind of viruses and psychological disorders. The MC will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m with a lunch
break at noon After closing hours, there will be some volunteers
who will give first aid at emergencies and alert the experts to difficult cases. A group of scientists will also be at the MC to research the diseases and try to find the right cure for each one of
them. Their aim will be first of all to explore the herbs and plants
that grow in the Chinati area, and they will mainly focus on the
ones that have strong odors because we really think that the
right smell can cure any kind of disease, physical and mental.
