Last year Last Minute Low Budget Productions staged its first talent show, and it was a big hit. Locals and school kids who had never performed on our stage before got up, danced, acted, sang, and did magic tricks. It was such fun, and raised hundreds of dollars for the Terlingua student council, that LMLB decided to do it again. The show is scheduled for Wednesday, November 7. There will be cash prizes for first, second, and third places. Voting will be by the audience, so bring all your friends. Here's what we need: Name(s): Contact info: Short description of your act: Estimated time (10 mins max): Special needs (if any):

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.)
On Wednesday the 24th there will be a special County Commissioners meeting at the Pattillo Community Center that has an update about the proposed Terlingua clinic on the agenda. The meeting starts at 10:00 a.m. Please spread this around. And just a reminder, the Hospital District meeting is on the 25th in Presidio at 5:30 p.m. The Big Bend Hospital District offices in Presidio are on 803 W. O'Reilly St. When you get to the hard left turn to go to OJ, take a hard right instead and the office is a couple of blocks down on the left.

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.

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

The South Orient is leased to TXPF, a private railroad company that operates the line and is responsible for the reconstruction of the bridge.

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. For more information, please contact the Marathon Animal Shelter at 432-386-4593.
