Brewster County Referendum to Abolish Office of County Surveyor   When Steve Walker passed away this year after serving over 30 years as County Surveyor, Brewster County Commissioners Court addressed the future need for a County Surveyor and found that the office is no longer listed as part of county government structure and most counties have abolished the office.  The County Surveyor has no responsibility to provide services to county residents and counties without a County Surveyor typically hire a licensed surveyor as needed by the county.  Brewster County Commissioners Court called a special election with the general election on November 6, 2018 to abolish the office of County Surveyor. The ballot choice is to vote for or against the proposition: “Abolishing the office of county surveyor of this county.” The office will be abolished if a majority of the voters approve the abolition.

Sara Colando for County Commissioner
Sara Colando was born to serve the public. Since arriving in South Brewster County and opening the family business, she has been working to improve the quality of life for the people in this community. Now she has the chance to do even more!
Brewster County is represented by resident Commissioners in North, East, and West Brewster County, but the growing South Brewster County community needs its own Commissioner. We all know Sara is compassionate, but I can tell you she is also smart, articulate, and absolutely capable of being a strong voice in our county government.  Vote for Sara!    Hugh Garrett

Hear ye!  Hear Ye!
A Free Bi-Partisan Shuttle Service will be available to take anyone to vote on Election Day, November 6th from 8am – 7pm (yes, the polls open at 7 am but we are only human).  If you live within 15 miles of Study Butte, near an accessible road, we want to bring you to the poll.  You will need to be previously registered, you will need to have your voter’s registration and ID with you, but we will bring you to the poll and bring you home.  Just call 371-2226 before 8pm on Sunday, November 4th, if you want a ride, or, want to drive folks.  This is a non-partisan service.  No politics will be spoken in the vehicle, just neighborly chit-chat.  We want everyone to have an opportunity to vote.

Taxes......Maybe the most unpopular topic ever to open a conversation with. This November voters in South Brewster County will be asked to approve a 0.5% increase in our sales tax base.  It is important to understand that this increase and the monies it can generate will ALL be used to fund the emergency services and infrastructures in South Brewster County.  None of these funds can be used outside of our Emergency Service District. The boundaries of the ESD stretch from Elephant mountain south incorporating all of Terlingua Ranch, the park, and the greater metro area of Study Butte, Terlingua, and Lajitas.   The Terlingua Fire and EMS Board of Directors urges you to vote yes on this important proposition.  Our area is growing and along with that the demands on our local infrastructures.

Terlingua Preservation Society  T18 was a resounding SUCCESS!!! Time again for TPS President David Elkowitz to pass out this year’s Big Checks to TPS’s designated charity recipients: TerlinguaCommon School District; Terlingua Fire & EMS, and Acti-Vets. This $7500 for TFEMS is their 1/3 cut from the money raised at Friday night’s auction.This $7500 for BBHS/TCSD is their 1/3 cut from the money raised at Friday night’s auction—it does *not* include the $8000 donated for two 4-year scholarships nor the $1300 or so raised directly by the students who worked Thursday afternoon’s car wash. The Superintendent liked their Big Check so much, he’s going to mount it on the wall of the faculty conference room! (Don’t worry—they’ll be cashing the regular-dimension check we provided as well.)

The rail bridge was severely damaged by fires in 2008 and 2009 and is located on the TxDOT-owned South Orient rail line, a 391-mile rail line running from the Texas-Mexico border at Presidio through San Angelo to just south of Coleman.  The South Orient is leased to TXPF, a private railroad company that operates the line and is responsible for the reconstruction of the bridge. TXPF is funding the reconstruction of the bridge, which is scheduled to be completed by September 2019.

Are you looking for a small dog with a big personality?  Tiger is the one for you!  Tiger is a bold and spicy 7-month old chihuahua mix who weighs about 10 pounds.  He loves people of all ages and is good with most dogs.   Tiger has been introduced to cats, but he tends to be too curious about them for their comfort.  Tiger is currently living in a foster home with other dogs, but he is really looking for a lap of his own.  With a little more training, Tiger will make a fun, constant, loyal companion, as he has great energy and a strong desire to be with his person.  Tiger is fully vaccinated and neutered.

We have almost enough requests for tanks to make a freight-free Wylie load, but only 4 of those have actually confirmed. We are in an iffy situation now,
whether to cancel the load or not. Please call and let us know how you stand.
Once a full order is called in, it doesn't take long to be delivered, especially this time of year.  We won't work on another load until Spring, and those loads take longer because of farm and ranch needs elsewhere in the state. We'll be available at the home phone for sure.
If we are in the yard, we don't run in, 'cause we never make it before the phone stops ringing.
So please kindly leave a message. We need to know if you are a Go or a No! (432) 371-2506

Jet is an 11-year male whose skillset includes sleeping, sitting in your lap, and licking the bowl clean when wet food is served. Beans is a 2 year old male whose skillset involves wrestling with his human friends, making company feel welcome, and keeping an eye on the neighborhood (through the window). Both have excellent house manners, are thrilled to live indoors, are friendly/happy cats, and are FIV+. They are being fostered together in Big Bend National Park and need a home where they they can show their gratitude for being loved (and saved!).

Reservations for parties over 9: terlinguastarlight@gmail.com.
This week's musical lineup:
Tuesday: The Goats of Clay Henry!
...not really a band, more of a small herd or gathering of musicians of like minds.  Drawing inspiration (and name) from the past mayor of Lajitas, they are steeped in the past yet not afraid of what's new in the pasture.  Kind of a mix of psychedelic country... expect to hear anything from the Grateful Dead to the Austin Lounge Lizards to Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks to whatever. Comprised of Terlingua locals, the goats are always welcome to visiting musicians sitting in, so one never knows what's in store at a goat gig.
Wednesday: The Whitmores
Locals, Alex & Marti are back with music that spans generations.  To quote Alex, “people from the Northeast consider it country. People from Texas consider it folk. People from Nashville won't even take the shrink wrap off the cd. I describe it as Home cooked Texas style with humor for dessert.”
Thursday: Laird Considine
Laird mixes his own original tunes with most anything you want to hear from the past.  Come try and stump him.
Friday: Robert Kuhn
Robert currently lives in Galveston, Houston and on the road through the Americas where he shares his unique and philosophical independent folk, blues and multilingual psyche-rock and roll Americana music.  It is honest at the least and esoteric at its best.
Saturday: Alan George Duo
Singer-song writer, folk, rock and country music genre from Austin, Texas. Come hear Christopher Alan & Jimmy George tear it up.
Monday: Brandi Humberson
The return of longtime Terlingua resident Brandi Humberson.  Yup, let’s fill the room for Brandi, hear of her adventures and listen to her wonderful songs. A purer voice is hard to find. Plus "A Bug's Eye View" - the art of Katy Milam – hangs through November 16. Hope to see you soon!

ESPRESSO ... Y POCO MAS! 
Come see us for the best coffee (Big Bend Roasters) and cooked to order fresh food. We have a varied menu and daily specials so there's something for everyone. Breakfast and lunch. From fresh squeezed orange juice to super sandwiches to eggs the way you want them, we do it all. We've got super croissants this week so will be offering them either as a breakfast sandwich or with chicken salad. Sit in the shade, enjoy the wifi and views of the Chisos, and get together with friends ...old or new.  If you're traveling through or exploring the area, we're a great place to get tips on new places to see and go.

TAQUERIA EL MILAGRO
Our newest venture, will open on Thursday, October 18th!!!  We're looking forward to serving up the best tacos in the area.  For now, we will be open Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 5-10 p.m.  We hope you stop by next week to help us kick this off.

BETTE DAVIS HONORED IN MARFA - OCT 27
Marfa Live Arts and Starlight Entertainment present All About Bette: An Interlude with Bette Davis by El Paso playwright Camilla Carr on Saturday, October 27th, at the Crowley Theater with actor Morgana Shaw portraying Bette Davis, one of the greatest actresses in film history. “It’s an honor to play this legendary icon, to bring her to life and to share the complete person with the world,” said Ms. Shaw. When asked what she liked most about Ms. Carr’s script, she said, “Looking into Bette’s heart. She was a strong woman, but the documentaries rarely show you the love she had for her family. She’s always fighting for the truth. Her eyes do not lie.” Playwright Carr describes how Bette Davis will forever be remembered because she was “Brilliant. A fighter. It never occurred to her to ‘retire.’  She was never about being ‘liked.’ She was all about the work. This play, is about her, I hope it reflects what steep hurdles actors of her time had to jump.” Carr did extensive research to create a play that accurately depicts Davis and her life. She says “Bette knew how to fight because she had to fight not only for her life as an artist, but for her mother’s and for her sister’s.”
All About Bette: An Interlude with Bette Davis received such positive reviews in its early days that it drew the attention of Michael A. Jenkins, seven time-Tony Award winning producer of Starlight Entertainment and Managing Director Emeritus of Dallas Summer Musicals. Jenkins optioned Bette and has been producing it ever since. As Carr says “What she is eternally remembered for all over the world, are her fearless, evocative presentations of the characters she portrays on screen. This was her contribution to perfection.” Camilla Carr is an El Paso based playwright, screen & television writer, novelist, actress and a three-time recipient of the Hollywood Drama Logue Award. Carrs’s multiple award-winning, one-woman show, ALL ABOUT BETTE:  An Interlude With Bette Davis starring Morgana Shaw, first premiered in Dallas at Theatre 3. Carr has also written for Academy Award recipient/nominees Holly Hunter, Amy Madigan, Brenda Blethyn, Dolly Parton and Brad Dourif.
