"They say no laws could have prevented the hundreds of senseless tragedies that have occurred. We call BS. That us kids don't know what we're talking about, that we're too young to understand how the government works. We call BS. If you agree, register to vote. Vote. Contact your local congress people. Give them a piece of your mind." Emma Gonzalez
“If you are bored and disgusted by politics and
don't bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched
Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb,
and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted
and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay at home
doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if
you want, but don't BS yourself that you're not voting. In reality, there is no such thing as
not voting: you either
vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of
some Diehard's vote.” David Foster Wallace,
"Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to
vote except the American people themselves and the only way they could do this
is by not voting." -- Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Our lives begin to end the day we
become silent about the things that matter.” Martin Luther King

When you go to the polls to vote, present one of the seven (7)
acceptable forms of photo ID:
· Texas Driver License
issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
· Texas Election
Identification Certificate issued by DPS
· Texas Personal
Identification Card issued by DPS
· Texas Handgun License
issued by DPS
· United States Military
Identification Card containing the person’s photograph
· United States
Citizenship Certificate containing the person’s photograph
· United States Passport
(book or card)
With the exception of the U.S. Citizenship Certificate, which
does not expire, for voters aged 18-69, the acceptable form of photo
identification may be expired no more than four years before being presented
for voter qualification at the polling place. For voters aged 70 or older, the
acceptable form of photo identification may be expired for any length of time
if the identification is otherwise valid.
If you do not possess an
acceptable form of photo identification and cannot reasonably obtain one, you
may present a supporting form of ID (one of
which is your valid voter registration certificate) and execute a Reasonable
Impediment Declaration, noting your reasonable impediment to obtaining an acceptable
form of photo identification, stating that the information contained in the
declaration is true, that you are the same individual personally appearing at
the polling place to sign the declaration, and that you face a reasonable
impediment to procuring an acceptable form of photo identification. An election
official will match your name to the official list of registered voters.
For voters that applied for
and received the permanent exemption from showing a photo ID based in their
disability status, this status will be notated on their voter registration
certificate. These voters are required to present their voter registration
certificate when they go to the polls to vote.

Reduce Reuse Recycle - The
landfill in Brewster County can accept 20 tons of waste per day. That seems
like a very large number but it’s actually not enough for the amount of waste
we are trying to put in there. The haulers regularly have to dump in
Presidio County or Odessa landfills because the local landfill has reached its
daily max. With more people moving here every day, higher numbers of visitors
and the proposed import tariffs on aluminum and steel, there’s never been a
better time to start recycling. You can recycle at the South County Services
Building in Study Butte, another option is the recycling pickup service that
will pick up and sort for you or if you’re headed to Alpine, you can bring your
items to the Hal Flanders Recycling Center. Then there is the Terlingua
Recycles station right behind the Terlingua EMS on 170. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Terlingua
Recycles! Thanks to the
great group of volunteers who came out and helped make light(er) work of a load
of recycling. Just as the landfill is reaching capacity, so are the recycling
bins. It’s terrific that folks are being mindful of the need to recycle, if
you’d take it a step further and be sure to clean the tin/ aluminum/ plastic,
etc. before dropping them off and break down items as much as possible (crush
plastic milk and water cartons, etc.). We take the recycling bins to BBNP the
last Thursday of every month. Call 830.739.6986 for more information or send us
a message on Terlingua Recycle’s Facebook page. But you can just show up at the
Recycling Center, too. Located right behind the Terlingua EMS station. We leave
the center around 8 a.m. and return around noon.

“The notion of following your passion is
worth indulging. Your passion is your source of power. To live really a full
life, you need to follow where it leads...in defiance of all things
conventional perhaps. And of course, it has its price. You have to know that
going in. But the price you pay, in my opinion, is not worth the time of day to
think about. It is so important not to knee pad around the world. You should
never bow down to anything but those you love and respect. Ever for anything.”
Doug Peacock
