“During your life, everything you do and everyone you meet rubs off in some way. Some bit of everything you experience stays with everyone you've ever known, and nothing is lost. That's what is eternal, these little specks of experience in a great, enormous river that has no end.” Harriet Doerr
Celebration of Life. The High Sierra Bar & Grill & El Dorado Hotel family would like to invite everyone to a Celebration of Life honoring our friend Jeff "Dock" Reidy on Thursday, December 10th at the High Sierra Bar & Grill. The celebration will begin at High Noon with a Lone Star Beer toast to our beloved Dock. Bring your guitars and musical instruments and best "Dock" stories so we can enjoy the afternoon story telling and honoring Dock to his family that will be here to take in Dock’s legacy spoken from the friends that knew him the best. Dock spent most afternoons sitting with his best friend "Little Man" right outside the bar entertaining our guests and we will forever be grateful for Dock's friendship. RIP Dock you will be missed.

Wise Words
“Kindness
begets kindness. It’s contagious. It multiplies exponentially when
shared. It is free - and while you are paying it forward kindness is
paying back dividends to you. With changed attitudes towards our fellow
man, perhaps, just maybe, positive interactions become contagious and we
can tip the balance. Although a simple concept, the trick is going to
be in the spreading of the word. I challenge you, my friends, to be kind
to one another, volunteer, smile to a stranger, lend a hand when and
where you can. In short, be nice. Be kind. It is possible to change this
world for the better, one act of kindness at a time. Kindness
immediately makes changes for you and those around you. With the rush to
the end of the year, the demands of our daily lives, and the
heart-breaking news events we can forget the power of kindness to create
joy, ease anxiety and depression, increase happiness and promote
peace.” ~Lorelei Maria Freiler

UPDATE/POSTPONEMENT: Terlingua Public Library's next presentation with Marlys Hersey, founder of Far Out Hooping in Alpine, an evening of fun with hoops, originally scheduled for Thu. Nov. 19 at 6 pm, has been postponed because Marlys will be having surgery next week and needs to recover fully before she can get her hoop on and whoop it up with y'all at the library. Please join us to Thursday, January 21 @ 6 pm for an evening of hoopiness. Improve your health and well being; join us in using the hoop to take us through a full range of motion, loosening our spines, stretching and strengthening our muscles, improving our balance, and increasing our joy with this portable and inexpensive toy. Have a hoop? Bring it. Or borrow one of Marlys'. Male, female, young, not so young, tall, short, thin, or wanting to slim down a bit: this is a program for everyone. That toy you enjoyed as a child can be a great means to fitness, community-building, and a daily movement practice. Marlys Hersey is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Hoop Love Coach, and Hoola-Fit Instructor. Terlingua Public Library is located on the campus of Terlingua Common School District. All programs are free and open to the public.

Tipsy was a rescue puppy. She was born in Feb. 2014. My son lives in California with his father and needs much more support at this time in his life than I can provide so far away. I need the ability to go back and forth between here and California and when gone be away for longer periods of time. My husband is over committed with multiple and varied obligations and can not possibly add her care to his already overextended schedule. She is very sweet. Two different vets have said that she looks quite a bit like a greyhound. Her behavior is that of a sight hound (which means she is quick to chase things that move) so she needs to be walked and/or somewhere there is a fence. (She will run off.) She also needs to be in a home where someone can spend time with her (even exercise her) as she still has some puppy in her. She is use to living with another dog. She has not had any exposure to cats. She has been spayed and is up to date on all her shots. She does sleep in a crate at night but is just as happy to sleep out on the floor. If you (or someone you know) might be able to provide her a good temporary home (all food and vet costs will be paid for) please call me at (432) 371-2263 or email seagullcaller@mac.com. If fostering does not become available by mid-December, I will explore permanent placement.
SKY is a beautiful Husky who was rescued from the streets and is hoping someone will give him a chance to be a proper pet. He has a few things still to learn and is slowly rebuilding trust after what was clearly a tough time for him while he was on his own. SKY has had some experience with dogs and cats and loves water. He is about 60 pounds and not quite yet two years old. Come pay this striking guy a visit! SKY is housebroken, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all shots. His adoption fee is $100. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road.

“In the desert I had found a freedom unattainable in civilization; a life unhampered by possessions, since everything that was not a necessity was an encumbrance. I had found too, a comradeship inherent in the circumstances, and the belief that tranquility was to be found there.”
― Wilfred Thesiger

Tipsy was a rescue puppy. She was born in Feb. 2014. My son lives in California with his father and needs much more support at this time in his life than I can provide so far away. I need the ability to go back and forth between here and California and when gone be away for longer periods of time. My husband is over committed with multiple and varied obligations and can not possibly add her care to his already overextended schedule. She is very sweet. Two different vets have said that she looks quite a bit like a greyhound. Her behavior is that of a sight hound (which means she is quick to chase things that move) so she needs to be walked and/or somewhere there is a fence. (She will run off.) She also needs to be in a home where someone can spend time with her (even exercise her) as she still has some puppy in her. She is use to living with another dog. She has not had any exposure to cats. She has been spayed and is up to date on all her shots. She does sleep in a crate at night but is just as happy to sleep out on the floor. If you (or someone you know) might be able to provide her a good temporary home (all food and vet costs will be paid for) please call me at (432) 371-2263 or email seagullcaller@mac.com. If fostering does not become available by mid-December, I will explore permanent placement.

He is about 60 pounds and not quite yet two years old. Come pay this striking guy a visit! SKY is housebroken, neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on all shots. His adoption fee is $100. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road.

Big Bend National Park Announces Texas Artist as 2015 Artist in Residence
Terlingua, TX, October 29, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Big Bend National Park, in cooperation with the non-profit National Parks Arts Foundation (NPAF) and the Big Bend Natural History Association, announced today that Dawn Waters Baker, a painter from Dallas, Texas, will be the park’s November, 2015, Artist in Residence. Dawn Waters Baker was born and raised in the Philippines as an expatriate, and only came to the United States when she was 18. This formative experience of witnessing poverty and grace has given her, in her artist’s path, a determined and searching viewpoint that does not take things for granted. Though represented at galleries in Dallas, New York, Scottsdale, and Tulsa, she takes pride in her volunteer work at ALERT, a non-profit where she coaches at-risk and trafficked girls to use art to express themselves. As well as working on new work while she is at the park, Dawn is looking forward to making a presentation or leading some painting workshops for the public during her time at the park.

BEBE is an exceptional leash walker and all about his human: he offers his paw, leans up against you, and gazes deeply into your eyes. He interacts with people beautifully, and has clearly had some training. BEBE gets along with some dogs but not all, and would probably prefer to be an only dog. BEBE needs just moderate activity but steady human friendship. He is housebroken, neutered, micro-chipped, and up-to-date on all shots. His adoption fee is $100. The Alpine Animal Shelter is open M-F from 10am to 6pm (closed 1-2pm) and by appointment on the weekends, located on the east side of Alpine on Old Marathon Road.

Big Bend Library is hosting the annual Scholastic Book Fair this week. We have tons of great books for sale through Scholastic. This is a great opportunity to get a head start on Christmas shopping. All proceeds benefit the library. The elementary students have once again put together a wish list for books they would like to have in their homes. The community is encouraged to drop by to purchase one of these for our students. The library is open from 8:00 - 4:00Monday - Friday. The book fair will close at noon on Friday.

The
Mission Statement of the Alliance:
“The Big Bend Citizens Alliance is a
community organization dedicated to addressing issues affecting the
health, welfare and quality of life in the Big Bend area”.
The
purpose of the Alliance is:
- To bring together persons with an active interest in addressing issues affecting the health, welfare, and quality of life
- To actively promote the preservation of health, welfare, and quality of life
- To actively discourage the destruction of the quality of life
- To maintain 501(c)3 non-profit status
Discussion:
The
BBCA is a 501(c) 3 organization based in South Brewster County Texas;
situated along the Mexican border and adjoining Big Bend National
Park in West Texas. This remote, sparsely populated, rural location
has a very active volunteer community dedicated to improving life in
the Big Bend area.
BBCA
manages through an elected Board of Directors and is staffed 100% by
part-time volunteers. Operationally it functions as an umbrella
organization with active distinct committees tied to the community.
Each committee operates with an autonomous committee head or leader
having limited spending authority.
Active
BBCA committees include:
- Terlingua Community Garden & Farmers Market
- The Kids Klub
- Terlingua Recycles
- Terlingua Cares
- Voices from Both Sides
- Terlingua Artists
- Ghost Town Charities
Over
the past five years both the number of committees has grown as well
as activity levels of each committee due to expanding volunteer
commitment to the community and the mission of the BBCA.
A
detailed description of each committee’s activity and assets
follow.
Terlingua
Community Garden & Farmers Market
https://communitygarden.org/find-a-garden/gardens/terlingua-community-garden/
Through
dedicated volunteers over the past seven years, the TCG has created a
sustainable community garden from barren desert and supported a
weekly seasonal farmers market for locally grown or created food
products. Individual plots are used to plant and harvest food for
both personal consumption as well as support of community food bank.
Operated on land owned by Ivey Enterprises, fund raising activities
and volunteers have developed a supporting infrastructure including
buildings, water harvesting system, fencing and shade structures.
The
farmers market operates on Saturday’s from late fall through early
spring.
Largest
fund raising event is an annual one day event called the Terlingua
Green Scene Sustainability Festival combining education,
demonstrations, activities and fun.
The
Kids Klub
The
primary activity is operation and maintenance of Canyon View
Community Park a softball/baseball park on four plus acres adjoining
the Terlingua Public School. This facility was built from locally
raised funds with a grant from the National Baseball League. It is
used seasonally on weekends for informal games. Long- term goal is
transfer of ownership to Brewster County from the BBCA to foster
greater maintenance and use by the adjoining school.
Terlingua
Recycles
To
preserve the pristine nature of the surrounding desert environment,
volunteers operate a recycling trailer for aluminum, tin, plastic,
and cardboard. Residents can deposit these materials into a
customized, dedicated trailer which is transported by volunteers 50
miles to a recycling center located within the adjoining national
park. Recent support by the county has led to specific electronic
recycling events for items not normally recycled nor accepted during
normal trash pickup.
Terlingua
Cares
The rich
musical history of Terlingua along with the large number of local
musicians has supported charitable concerts for needy individuals as
well as local support groups. Hosted by several supporting
restaurants, these Terlingua Cares concerts have raised thousands of
dollars for people most in need in the community. This is a true
‘grass roots’ charity.
Voices
From Both Sides
The
closing of the Mexican border throughout the Big Bend region post
September 11, 2001 created great disruption for families living on
both sides of the river. Voices
From Both Sides is a
non-political effort to raise awareness of these border issues
through music and cultural exchanges.
A
cross-border musical event is held at Lajitas Texas in early May to
highlight the diversity yet commonality of the Rio Grande region.
Terlingua
Artists
The visual
artist community is represented and supported through fundraising
events throughout the year. Last year’s product was a 2015 calendar
featuring local artists work.
Ghost
Town Charities
The
remoteness of the area from health and other services represent an
additional hardship for the poor in the Big Bend region. Ghost
Town Charites helps working people and families that experience
hardships from time to time. Examples include medical or dental
visits, propane, utility bills and gasoline expenses.
Ghost
Town Charities is also proud to help local visual and musical artists
by providing them a venue to display and sell their art or perform
their music at various local charity/benefit events.
Ghost
Town Charities was founded by Herman Everett & Deanna Castillo
of High Sierra Bar & Grill @ The El Dorado Hotel
