Love Offering
I talked to Angel Carney, Randy McLaughlin's daughter, and she said it would be OK for The Moon. Some of us are sending, to the Terlingua School Activity Fund, 2281 Roadrunner Circle, Terlingua, Texas, 79852, in his honor, a love offering in Randy's name. This activity fund feeds the kids on out-of-town activities. Make checks payable to Terlingua Activity Fund.
Thank you, Betty Reed

High Sierra Bar and Grill
KATY AND TONY GOT MARRIED! We did that on our own, so that's why you didn't get the invite, HOWEVER, we'd love to cordially invite you to celebrate with us in Terlingua, Texas upstairs at the High Sierra Bar and Grill. We'll have food, beers and booze for you to enjoy, plus all the hugs and high fives you can handle. More details to come in the next week or two. Gifts are welcome, but not required. Hope you can make it to this party, but we will also be throwing another in Fort Worth (TBA) and likely one or even two more (also TBA) so that we can celebrate with friends and family who can't attend this one, so stay tuned.
All the best, Katy and Tony

TWO NEW TOWERS PROPOSED
In regards to the two new towers planned.. From what I recall reading a while back.. The tower near 118 on Terlingua Ranch Rd -- BBT agreed to lower the brightness but the lights will stay on even though it's under the requisite height that lights must be on. I just wonder if the new towers were scheduled for 200' based on need, or was it to avoid the argument and have lights regardless? Is it a "just what they have in stock" kind of thing? And are they even aware of the lighting ordinance? I'd like to know if the county commissioner responsible for the district has placed a call? Lots of questions and thoughts need answers. Ones that I think are best asked by full time residents, local media and Representatives of Brewster County. -- Questions about the new cell towers posed by Marty Lehde.
MORE ON THE TOWERS FROM COUNTY COMMISSIONER GARRETT:
Dark Skies: Hugh Garrett, Brewster County Precinct 2 Commissioner
Brewster County Commissioners Court amended the Order Regulating Outdoor Lighting in Brewster County on June 13, 2018 to include new communication towers. The Order prohibits aviation safety lighting on towers <200' that do not require aviation safety lighting. The Order also requires that operators of towers >200' use the FAA required aviation safety lighting that minimizes the impact on our dark skies. Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park are certified IDA International Dark Sky Parks and Brewster County is working with our parks to maintain the dark skies.
Alta Towers, LLC published two public notices in the Big Bend Gazette August 2018 issue. The notices advised interested parties to submit comments regarding environmental concerns on the installation of two 270' towers in South Brewster County. Interested parties may also file a Request for Environmental Review of the two towers. Last month I contacted the project manager for these proposed towers and requested modification of the project to use <200' towers. I also contacted the FCC to propose that light pollution be included as part of Environmental Reviews for areas committed to dark skies. Are you an interested party!

SCOUT THE DOG
Scout's good looks caught your attention, didn't they?! Scout is a 1 year old mix who has a lot of energy but is happy to exhaust herself in play group with other dogs. She loves water, toys, and if you can catch her tuckered enough for snuggles, it's a precious thing! Scout has a lot of energy and will need keepers willing to continue her training, but what she needs most is out of the shelter. If you're looking for someone to keep you on your toes and reaching for the next horizon, Scout is your gal! For more information about Scout or any pet in the Alpine Shelter, email admin@alpinehumanesociety.org
