Terlingua Writers Circle: A Constructive Space for the Written & Spoken Word Got a story to suss out? A tale that needs telling? Poetry need polishing? Oration needs inspiration?

Let's think about water, rain and the facts of desert life. Let's think about getting a
truckload (average 8) of Wylie catchment tanks started now. If we can fill a load early,
we can get the jump on Spring, and the farmers and ranchers in the high planes who take
Wylie's top priority at that time of the year. For a deposit toward a tank(s), we will write
your name in ink on the order sheet. We don't cash checks until your tank is in your
possession. Tanks and supplies are sales-tax free in Texas. And ours are delivered freight-free.
So, think about it; then, call us. 371-2506 or email elcentro432@gmail.com.

Hi all. I've locked the trailer down for now as it's full. And with the shutdown I don't know when we will be able to go back to PJ to empty the trailer. I'll be taking cardboard up to Alpine next week and possibly some plastic. I've put signs up at the trailer to this effect and also to let people know not to leave any bags there. Thanks, Robert

Welding classes. Nehemiah's Outcry will be forging ahead with classes beginning Monday January 7th and 8th, at Big Bend Church. We will have time slots at 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on those days. If these classes are something you would be interested in, or you know someone who is, please remember these dates. These classes are free, but any proceeds that maybe donated go to help off set the expense of the consumables (electrodes, acetylene and oxygen and mixed gases if needed etc.). Big Bend Church does not require any funds from Outcry but underwrites the electricity and the shop area for which we are grateful to them. The following two weeks, the instructor will be involved in administering welder testing in central Texas and the Las Cruces NM area. Then, as of this notice we will continue with classes on the 28th and 29th of January. If there are questions, feel free to email, noutcry@yahoo.com or call Ray at 432-837-3737. From Nehemiah's Outcry we wish everyone, a very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year.

Frona Fern Farrelly started her journey in the northeastern United States...Baltimore, Md. to be exact. She was drawing, painting and creating since she could hold a pencil and paintbrush. She studied at University of Md. and Loyola College and got degrees in art and teaching. After traveling to fuel her inspiration and see other parts of the world, she married in London. Moving back to the states, they settled in Texas and she continued her education studying in Paris through International Studies Abroad...painting and art history, Florence, Italy at the Academia D'Arte...techniques of the great masters, Ireland at various workshops and Edinburgh at the Academy of Realist Art. Frona, her husband and cats moved to Florida for 7 years where she was fortunate to live near the Southern Atelier in Sarasota. She took classes there and also studied privately. Now back in Texas...for good!!...they have settled in Terlingua where she is letting all she has learned and been exposed to culminate and emerge with her own unique interpretation that is truly Frona. "I am happy to call Terlingua my home. There is a strong creative energy that draws and keeps so many artists here. I am deeply inspired and love being surrounded by these magical mountains and creative community. I look forward to many happy and rewarding years as a productive artist."
Frona Fern Farrelly also writes, illustrates and publishes her own children's books. They are available on Amazon and Barnes and Nobles but ask her about them directly and she can personalize them for you.

Meet Kaylic, a 5 year old female Yellow Labrador Retriever & Golden Retriever Mix with great manners and so much love to give! She walks nicely on a leash,is house trained and is overall a mellow dog. Kaylic is friendly with other dogs but is far more interested in getting human attention. We think she is an excellent candidate to join a home with cats and would do well with children. She cannot wait to return to a loving home! Kaylic is spayed, microchipped and fully vaccinated. For more information on this lovely dog or any of the animals at the Alpine Shelter, please stop by or call 432-837-9030 or email admin@alpinehumanesociety.org.
