DON L. CARR

Don L. Carr, 76, died unexpectedly April 21, 2019 at his home in Driftwood, Texas. He was born May 18, 1942 in Mathis, Texas, the son of Clyde Graves Carr, Sr. and Katherine Speedy Carr. Don L. Carr was a free spirited, creative, and unique individual.

Peace, Love and Happiness.
Aspen Dental dentists and teams will once again be providing free dental care to veterans nationwide on June 8.
For the sixth year, nearly 500 Aspen Dental offices nationwide will open their doors to serve veterans in their local communities as part of their community giving initiative, the Healthy Mouth Movement.
Starting May 1, veterans can call 844-277-3646 to find a participating Aspen Dental office in their community and schedule an appointment for June 8.
Related: Military retirees flock to federal dental and vision program.
Advance appointments are required.
Dentists and teams will treat the most urgent needs of each veteran to ensure any dental pain is relieved, including anything from fillings and extractions to basic denture repairs.
Routine cleanings and examinations will also be provided free of charge.

Recycle News & Updates
As I’ve mentioned before recycling has become more difficult. So we are having to make a lot of changes. We will take the trailer to PJ on May 2 to unload it. Then we are moving the trailer to our new home. This will be behind the ballparks at the school. It’s gated and unfortunately we will keep it locked unless a volunteer is there to make sure what goes in is recyclable. This is because we are getting way too much trash, especially plastic. If we don’t get much better the park will shut us down from bringing anything.
So now we only be able to accept clean cardboard, #1 and #2 plastic that is clean and rinsed. No caps or tops please. Aluminum cans are OK along with clean and rinsed tin cans. No other metal. And we can no longer accept paper, including paper board any longer as we have no outlet to take it. So only clean cardboard on the paper products.
So again, after the next run we will be closed most of May while we get setup at the new location. We are trying to find more volunteers to be at the trailer on certain days and hours so we can make sure we only take what we can recycle. It is unfortunate but we have no alternative.
Alpine has the Hal Flanders recycle facility on Cemetery Rd. that will take most products including glass at certain times. Also, at the landfill on the road to Marathon about a mile past the 67/90 intersection they will take cardboard. So if you have a lot of cardboard this is very easy.
Any questions please email krullro1966@gmail.com.
The Terlingua Bottoms Group of AA meets every Thursday at 7:30 at the Big Bend Church in Study Butte. The meetings are open to anyone who has or thinks they may have a drinking problem.
VOICES FROM BOTH SIDES MAY 11!
I met with the border patrol for lunch Friday in Lajitas. They asked me to share a small statement:

On behalf of the Terlingua Goddesses, we want to thank Josie & John for opening up LaKiva for our wonderful party. It was so nice to have the party indoors with a/c, flush toilets, music on the sound system, ample parking, and most of all no clean up before or after! Yeah! Thank you to our sweet bartenders Karen & Cat. Thanks to Chris & Charlotte for entertaining us with their musical talents. Thanks to all 36 Goddesses who attended and brought us a bounty to share. It was great time and special get together. So nice to meet some new Goddesses and see long time ones too. For those of you who missed this event, you really missed a good one! Perhaps we will be able to replay this again next year??? I have my fingers crossed.
