TERLINGUA MOON


March 20, 2023
by Terlingua Thinking Team

"Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps." — Charlotte Brontë

FUNDRAISER AT HIGH SIERRA TODAY
Today is the BIG Day!!!!! 4:00 p.m.!! Please come to the High Sierra Bar and Grill and help us raise funds for Medic Outpost to buy community defibrillators and provide training to the community volunteers! We have a different band playing every hour starting at 4 with Butch and Rory Hancock, 5 - Hank Woji, 6 - Wayward Gypsies, 7- The Moonshiners, 8 - Terry Houghton.  Lots of vendors, food, drinks, a silent auction and a raffle with AWESOME items! Sneak preview of some of the items: Golf packages, jeep tours, horseback riding, river day trips, Airbnb stays, tons of handmade and hand painted items, a barrel of tequila (yes you read that right), massage and acupuncture gift certificates…and SO much more! It’s going to be a super fun event! We hope the whole community shows up for this one!

GO PUROBOTS and PAISANOS!
Only a few days left to buy your limited edition 2023 Purobots T-Shirt! The Terlingua robotics students designed a T-shirt for their fundraiser/fire recovery. So far we have sold 46 t-shirts towards our goal of 100. Please share and thanks for all the support!
https://www.customink.com/fundraising/terlinguarobotics

The Paisanos would like to thank our community for the truly inspiring and heartwarming support we received after the fire. The fire marshal concluded that the cause of the fire was undetermined, and there was no evidence that it was malicious or started intentionally. We would also like to again thank TFEMS, BBNP, and BCSO for the tremendous job they did in putting out the fire. Brewster County Roads and Bridges have generously given their time in assisting with the clean up. The district is currently working with our insurance, and the building will be replaced. The school is in the process of ordering all students' instruments that were lost in the fire with the donations that we have received. In the meantime, Mr. Anthenat and the band continue to practice getting ready for Fiesta and graduation. Many students are learning new instruments that have been donated while they await their replacements. The Purobots have qualified for the State UIL Robotics competition that will be held this Friday, 3/24/23 in Belton. Our kids had a plan in place to continue by 9:00 AM the day after the fire. The students were helped by their district competitors in El Paso as well as the UTEP engineering department prior to their regional competition on 2/25/23. Despite the challenges, this is the first group from TCSD to qualify for the State competition, and we couldn't be prouder. When their season is over, they will begin the process of ordering the parts and tools that were lost. Thank you for all of your support and rallying around the kids when we most needed it.

The UIL District 9 Academic Competition will be held at Fort Davis HS on March 24th. Sixteen high school students are representing our school in various competitions including: Spelling & Vocabulary, Science, Social Studies, Current Issues & Events, Computer Science, Mathematics, Number Sense, and Calculator Applications. Good luck, Paisanos!

Don't miss the opportunity to apply for an RGEC Scholarship. Vocational and trade school students are eligible, too! Visit www.riogrande.coop/community/scholarships/ to apply.

Gathering for the parade will be at any time necessary for the preparation of your "float" to make the 5:30 start. ALL FLOATS AND UGLY FEET WELCOME. The Ugly Feet contest will take place on the Ghosttown porch right after the parade FEATURING MUSIC BY THE MOONSHINERS. Please try to attend with a float and enter your ugly feet into the contest, or just come as a spectator and spread the word. Please don't be shy about entering your UGLY FEET. Be proud of your ugly feet! Terlingua is notorious for our ugly feet. Don't let the tourists beat you because the entire planet is eligible to enter.


Milky Way Treats will be open every Saturday 10am-1pm, at the Community Garden in the Ghost Town. Come by and see what’s cooking! We always have a wonderful selection of baked items, pie, cakes, kolaches, gluten-free goodies and cinnamon rolls. Look forward to seeing you! Gracias Terlingua!

On Friday they traveled to Lubbock HS to compete in regionals against 36 of the best teams from the Panhandle and west TX. They placed 28th.

From the Terlingua school:  Sadly, our school lost the band hall and robotics lab to a fire that occurred over the night of 2/16/23. We have been overwhelmed and inspired by all of the offers for help that we have received over the last few days. The district's insurance will be replacing the building, instructional materials, and instruments purchased by TCSD. Unfortunately, there were many of the students' and Mr. Anthenat's personal instruments and items that were lost in the fire that were not covered. Any funds that are donated will go directly to either our band student fund or our robotics student funds. These funds are managed directly by our student groups, and will be used to replace the personal instruments and items lost in the fire. Please make the donations to: Terlingua Common School District (note either band, robotics, or both)  PO Box 256  Terlingua, TX 79852

Likewise, many of our friends have reached out to donate instruments, robotics parts, or tools. Any of these items can be dropped off at the school or mailed to:   Terlingua Common School District, 550 Roadrunner Circle, Terlingua, TX 79852.

City of Presidio  Per a reconstruction conference with TDOT, the Presidio-Ojinaga International Bride expansion will resume in Mid March with an anticipated completion in September.

2 years ago today I suffered a massive cardiac arrest in Terlingua TX. I was with my girlfriend Jennifer Pittinger in her car on the way to Alpine hospital with chest pains and the heart attack happened just on the way out of Terlingua. Jennifer turned her car around and raced to the EMS and Marcus E. Smith and his team paddled me back to life. Thank you sweet Jennifer!.  Marcus and his team kept me stable and got me to Alpine and then I was flown to Odessa and got the surgery I needed. A lot of luck and timing saved me...a lot of good skilled people were involved to get me back and be here today typing this 2 years later.The EMS in Terlingua are amazing and important simply because it’s so out in the wild west and they are the difference for those living there between possibly losing your life or in my case keeping it. I will always be grateful to the Terlingua EMS for their professionalism and dedication and all the others in the chain that got me back. Also I will never forget family and friends who supported me with love through that crazy time. God is Great.        ~Markus Manstroma
