Early voting hours are 3 pm to 6 pm Monday-Wednesday and Friday and 3 pm to 7 pm Thursday both weeks. There are three candidates for two positions: Travis Jenks, Sharon Hansen Clark, and Scott Watkins. At an election at which more than one board member position is to be filled, all positions that are to be filled at the election shall be voted on as one race by all voters of a district. Each voter is entitled to cast the number of votes equal to the number of positions to be filled at the election. A voter may cast one or more of the specified number of votes for any one or more candidates in any combination. Only whole votes may be cast and counted. If a voter casts more than the number of votes to which the voter is entitled in the election, none of the voter’s votes may be counted in that election. If a voter casts fewer votes than entitled, all of the voter’s votes are counted in that election. The candidates who are elected are those receiving the highest number of votes.

Zen is a 2-3 year old very friendly blue heeler who was surrendered to the Alpine Animal shelter in early October and is now being fostered in the Terlingua area. He is good with all other dogs, friendly with cats, housebroken, medium energy and what they call a velcro-heeler (always by your side). Zen is neutered, microchipped and up to date on all vaccinations. He has gorgeous markings and a fabulous full tail. He is great in the house, likes to ride in the car, hike, explore the creek and be with the pack. He requires an indoor home with exceptional adopters! For more information about him, please email heatherthemule@gmail.com
Sailing Away
Derek Ammons passed away on October 20 in Marion SC of kidney cancer. He had just turned 56, born 9/13/60. He was with his family and long time friend June Rapp. Though he relocated to South Carolina to live on his sail boat he still visited and loved the Big Bend. Derek was a river guide for Far Flung Adventures both in the Big Bend and Salt River Canyon Arizona. He was a Wildland Firefighter for the NPS and US Forest Service and was among the first crew members to work with the now famous Diablos. He was one of the founding members of the secret society in Terlingua known as the Deep Fat Club, but most of all he was a man of a big heart, the kind of man who wades into a flooding river to save a kitten in a tree and be a secret Santa to needy children. Derek will always be loved and his memory cherished. There will be a memorial service next year when his family comes to visit but in the meantime condolences may be sent to his family via his mother Jerrie Ammons, 310 Northside Ave. Marion SC, 29571
