Got something to say?
Facebook will let you air it out, but if you
want your opinion to be heard in a way that might prompt change, show up for
the upcoming Brewster county Commissioner’s court. It will be held on
Wednesday, August 11, at 9:30 a.m. You may attend by Zoom, watch on the
Facebook Page for Brewster County, Texas, as well as the website. The agenda for this meeting is linked below, as well as instructions
for leaving comments. Some folks might be interested in following the Brewster
Tourism Council presentation. Also, we may or may not be cats.
Vaccine Info:
“I work as a public health nurse for DSHS Presidio County.
Moderna and Pfizer vaccine are available at each DSHS clinic Monday Alpine,
Tuesday Presidio, Wednesday Van Horn and Thursday Marfa. Hours 9:30 to 12 and
then 1 to 4. At present we do not do COVID testing that is something we are hoping
to be able to provide in the upcoming weeks. Please note Pfizer vaccine is
available for 12 years and up, the minor needs parental consent. Moderna 18
above. If you have questions about the vaccine please call one of the clinics
where myself or the other nurse can hopefully answer fully. Lastly, COVID
vaccines are safe and masks are effective in reducing transmission. Please
continue to encourage others to get vaccinated.”
***The Stars at night are big and bright***
and if you’d like to help keep them that way:

and yellow, plus black and white. Diesel is a regular member of the gallery,
which is the retail outlet for the Big Bend Arts Council. Works in the display
may also be viewed and purchased through her website: www.marydiesel.com.
