Unabomber suspect has links to Far West Texas and Ojinaga Suspects brother owns land in Brewster County By ALLISON RYAN SCOTT BREWSTER COUNTY -

David Kaczynski who told authorities that his brother may be the Unabomber owns propshyerty in south Brewster County and neighbors and friends in the remote area know David as a good guy

He is a very nice young man Ive known him for 10 or 15 years said long-time friend Mary Ann Dunn of Terlingua He adopted us and we adopted him

David 46 lives in Schenecshytady NY with his wife Linda Patrik a philosophy proshyfessor at nearby Union College

Dunn said she talked to David this week from his home

He is terribly spent He didnt realize that every friend he has would be pounced on by the news media Hes embarshyrassed and hurt to say the least she said He said what he was doing was right but it was a hard thing to do

Dunn said David used to camp at their RV park before buying

property at Terlingua Ranch They shared a lot of meals toshygether and the friendship grew through the years

Hes a vegetarian so I would fix extra vegetables for him We would share Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner whenever he and his family were here she said

The last time David was in Terlingua was for Dunns husshybands funeral two years ago

Dunn said she never met Davids brother Unabomber suspect Theodore Kaczynski but she did know about him

David showed me a picture of his brothers cabin Its a nice home-made building not a tar-wrapped shack like the meshydias made it out to be she said David didnt talk much about his brother

Dunn did meet Davids mother Wanda

She was here once She is a very nice small little thing Ive talk to her often on the phone when I go to Chicago to visit my husbands family she

said She disputes the idea that

David is a hermit as many news reports-have referred to

Who isnt a hermit who lives out here I came out here from Houston to get away from the city BuLif-iheythink Davids crazy for living out here then were all crazy she said

Dunn described David as one who loyes to hike and is great on ecology

If anyone picked up anything on his property he wanted them to take it back and put it right back down He likes artishyfacts to stay there she said

Redford resident and local hisshytorian Enrique Madrid said he met David about 10 years ago Local residents including the Rev Mel LaFollette and his son Joe took David to meet Madrid to identify a prehistoric artifact David had found

David found a flint knife while hiking in the Dead Horse Mountains I made him feel so guilty for removing the artifact Continued on page 2)

English translation of a letter from the Unabomber suspect to auan Sanchez Arreola of Ojinaga T Kaczynski Stemple Pass Road Lincoln Montana ~ November 14 1988 Senor Juan Dear friend I very much appreciate your nice invitation to visit your home but

unfortunately I wont be able to accept because the trip would be very expensive and I dont have the money However even though I wont be able to go in the month of June 1989 maybe one day I will be able to visit you at your house if I save money I would like very much to visit you because I have read much about your country and to this date have not had the opportunity to see you My brother enjoyedhis visit to your house

My brother must havetold you about the article I read about the millionaire who helps the needy My brother or I will write this rich person to see if he will help pay your debt but this millionaire receives millions of petitions and he can help only concede to help a few However it will not harm to write him Who knows It is possible that he may help you

The millionaires address is not expressed in the article but we have a library in this village and I am going to ask the librarian to help me find it It is very probable that we will be able to obtain it in one way or another and my brother or I will write him

I am very well I am very happy that you call yourself my friend and I in turn call myself your friend

Hoping that you are well and that your leg keeps getting better I remain your friend

Taking back the artifact means hes an extremely morale personHes a really good pershyson I dont know what hapshypened to his brother

We talked a bit and he was an interesting person He would spend six months here in the desert and then would go hack to the city xto work tor six months Madrid said People come to the desert searching for peace and quiet Hes nothing like his brother He was seekshying understanding and peace

LaFollette met David at an Episcopal church service at Terlingua Ranch in 1985

Hes no different than anyshybody else - a decent well edushycated person he said I met his father and mother once at a Christmas Eve service I wasnt aware of any siblings The last time I saw him was at Jimmy Dunns funeral in July 1994

LaFollette noted that it was obvious that when David first suspected his brother he went to great lengths to make sure le information was valid he-

I could see the pain in his eyes on television and I know how much it hurt him to turn in Theodore but Im sure he beshylieved he had to do it

Anita Gloria who works at Terlingua Ranch Restaurant reshymembers him as a very nice man

The last time I saw him was about two or three years ago He stillowns property here she said

According to Brewster County Tax Assessor-Collector Jerry Ratclilf David owns 30 acres in the northeast section of Tershylingua Ranch known as Cedar Springs Three of the tracts are together and two are nearby

He purchased the land in 1986 and built an eight-foot by 12-foot house the following year In 1993 he added an addition to increase the size of his home to eight-feet by 24-feet The property is in both his and his wifes names

Noviembre 28 de 1995 Sr Juan Sanchez Arreola Mi muy estimado y apreciable amigo ^ Es tiempo de mahdarle a usted un saludo navideno Casi es

diciembre y aqui hay sobre el suelo una buena capa de nieve y en este momento esta cayendo mas nieve senal de que se esta acercando epoca de Navidad

Yo aqui estoy bien Estoy mas pobre que nunca pero estoy muy bien de salud y esto es lo que mas importa En cuanto a la pobreza tengo cincuenta y tres dolares y un centavo exactamente y apenas si podria evitar el hambre este invierno sin cazar las liebres por carne Pero con las liebres y algo de harina y semejantes que tengo almacenadas y ademas de unas legumbres secas de mi huertita pasare el invierno bastante bien Y cuando llegue la primavera tal vez yo tenga mejor suerte con el empleo y el dinero de manera que pueda ir a visitarlo a usted Veremos

En cuanto a estas liebres que se llaman liebres de raquetas (snowshoe lares en ingles) son muy hermosas e interesantes y ademas muy utiles porque muchas veces me han provisto comer carne alguna Se le puede cazar libremente sin compear licencia y las suelo cazar con un rifle 22 de la manera siguienteleuando de manana hay nieve fresca que haya caido durante la noche salgo al monte y camino hasta encontra unas huellas de liebre frescas Luego sigo las huellas hasta encontrar la liebre Por lo general esto es facil ha hecho nieve hasta una o dos horas antes del amanecer y despues ha cesado de hacer nieve Pero cuando la nieve ha caido durante la primera parte de la noche y no durante el resto de la noche entonces suele ser dificil rastrear las liebres porque descansan durante el dia y se mueven durante la noche y caminan en direcciones siempre cambiantes de manera que cruzan repetidas veces su-propio rastro y el rastro de otras liebres y asi en el curso de una noche han rastreado muy enredados y dificiles de seguir

De todos modos cuando se sabe por lo fresco de las huellas que la liebre esta cerca se teine que mirar porque estas liebres se vuelven blancas durante el invierno y no son tan faciles de ver en la blancura de la nieve Por lo general los que se echan de ver primero son el negro ojo y las negras puntas de las orejas que

(no se puede leer lo que sigue) una buena posicion desde la que tirar y se debe ser cuidado de no

espantar a la liebre porque si se espanta y corre a veces se tiene que seguirle dos horas antes de consequir otra oportunidad de tirar Pero una vez consequida una buena oportunidad de tirar se le pega a la liebre una bala en la cabeza se tiene una libra poco mas o meno de carne Con libra quiero decir un pound norteamericano que es un medio kilogramo aproximadamente

No he recibido carta de usted desde principio de febrero asi que no se como le va Ojala que todas las cosas les vayan muy bien a usted y su familia Escuche por radio que Mexico esta sufriendo dificultades economicas Espero que esta no afecten su familia si esta todavia en Mexico

Tendre que ir a la oficina del correo cerca del primer dia de enero pero despues con probabilidad pasare el resto del invierno sin ir a la aldea Lincoln y por esto no visitare mi buzon en la oficina del correo hasta la primavera

Pues queda por decir solamente que les deseo a usted y su familia uan Navidad muy feliz y un aTfo nuevo muy prospero Que Dios los bendiga a usted y toda su familia

Su amigo que tanto lo estima y aprecia Teodoro Kaczynski

J^-^-J Editor This year will mark my 19th season as a Washington Redskin

fan As any dedicated fan knows a sports team can bring on many great memories as well as sad

My greatest memory occurred on January 31 1988 when Washington defeated Denver in Superbowl XXII after trailing 10-0 in the first quarter My worst memory occurred on November 24 1991 when I attended my first game at RFK only to watch Dallas defeat my team by a score of 24-21

However with all the ups and downs of a football season the worst thing that could happen to a dedicated fan is when a hero is suspected caught or convicted of drug use Dexter Manley was one of the greatest defensive lineman that proved himself on the field Coach Joe Gibbs had no choice but to cut him after he continued his addiction to drugs It has been rumored that Dexter is now at the federal prison near Fort Stockton I often wondered if I would seek his autograph if I ever saw him but the more I think about it the more depressed I get

Many Dallas Cowboy fans are facing the same situation with the Michael Irvin and Harvey Martin incidents I am a firm believer that a person is innocent until proven guilty^As hard as Michael

Irvin has worked to become an important part of that team I hope th he does not disappoint his fans Even if he is not convicted he will have this dark shadow on him What do you think would happen to Michael if Tom Laundry was the head coach

Although I have disliked the Dallas Cowboys for many years I have enjoyed watching players like Roger Staubach Tony Dorsett and Emmit Smith There is one special player on the Dallas team that I like hut with all the stars he is overlooked Bill Bates is a true player and should be everyones hero He recently passed a lucrative offer from the Oakland Raiders and settled for $275000 This will be his 14th season and plays like a rookie healthy and aggressive I dont know how much longer 40 will be around but I will always consider him to be a great persorthojh onandjpftthe fields bdquo bdquo1-bullbdquo bulllt v

vw Editor The deficiency of the B-complex vitamin folacin (previously

called folic acid) is a pressing public health problem Mhst important are women at conception and during the first four months of pregnancy Conception through the first three months (first trimester) to four months of pregnancy when the organs and skeleton of the fetus are formed but at this time there is little growth The organs and skeleton will not form correctly unless the mother is consuming enough folacin

During the first three months the fetus of a deficient women |1ess than 200 to 1000 micrograms (megs or ugs) or 02 milligram to 10 milligram (mg)) can develop with no brain (anencephaly) or with a split spinal cord or hole in the spinal cord (spina bifida) and other birth defects of the central nervous system like water on the brain (hydrocephalus)

A Women who is or can become pregnant and consumes alcohol has a greater need for folacin as well as other B-complex vitamins She should take a vitamin supplement recommended by a nutrition knowledgeable health care professional However taking a supplement should never substitute for eating foods high

Several prescription drugs can causebirth defects identical to those caused by folacin deficiency They might interfere with folacins chemical actions in the body Mostfoods high in folacin are likely to be high in other nutrients as well Examples are broccoli spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables oranges organ meats melons peanuts (peanut butter) and brewers yeast

During the first three months or first trimester of pregnancy the pan of the fetus are put together Each body part develops during a certain stage poor nutrition during the first trimester can cause damage to the part being formed

During the second and third trimesters the parts of the body grow Growth cannot occur without the presence of folacin because the cell cannot divide without it Furthermore healthy growih cannot occur without the right amount of folacin The reason forthis is when proteins are made in the body the vitamin folacin is essential Without the right amount of folacin the body cannot make proteins including those that fight infections and (fancer This can cause another problem if a person gets a vaccination when they are deficient in fqlactn the vaccination might hot work

The Thunderbird Special of the Week

Can you take too much folacin Probably Large doses given to experimental animal continue to concentrate in the spinal cord this is not a problem with less than 800 micrograms to 10 milligram (1000 micrograms) in humans Large intakes of folacin can cover up the severe deficiency of Vitamin B-12 This can be a problem with a few strict vegetarians who do not consume vitamin B-12 There is a rare disease called pernicious anemia that results

i from the inab^Uyrlaquof-ther8tpmach and-the intestines to absorb B-12 that ordinarily occus in the diet

A nutritional myth is that you have to have B-12 shots if you have pernicious anemia or other absorption problems Large doses of B-12 (1000 micrograms one milligram to 3500 micrograms 3 and 12 milligrams)in the form of a vitamin tablet will prevent and cure pernicious anemia just as an injection will There are several conditions that require large injections of

Vitamin B-12 these are rare genetic disorders One is called Vitamin B-12 dependent MMA (methyl-malonic-acidemia or aciduria) Infants born with this rare disorder have little energy and symptoms of nervous system disorders When they receive large doses of B-12 through dairy or frequent injections they can often have healthy lives

One mother convicted for-poisoning her babies with ethylene glycol (ami-freeze) went to prison Finally a court exonerated her when a lawyer with a degree in biochemistry took her case He proved that her babies died of MMA rather than anti-freeze poisoning If her babies had suffered from the form of MMA that is treated with large injections of Vitamin B-12 they might have lived

TxDOT says no to 1-27 extension FAR WEST TEXAS - Texas

Department of Transportations decision not to extend Interstate 27 from Lubbock to Interstate 10 may not be bad news for Midland Odessa Transportation Allishyances plan to establish a trade corridor to Mexico according to MOTRAN member Herb Myers of Presidio

TxDOT turned us down on extending the route but they may upgrade the roads for heavier traffic Thats good news for us Myers said

MOTRANs proposed corrishydor known as La Entrada Al Pacifico would have begun where 1-27 ends in Lubbock run through Midland and Odessa to 1-10 east of Fort Stockton

The proposal was one of several that was under consideration

TxDOT Project Manager Peggy Thurin said the consultshyants HDR Engineering detershymined only two of the proposed routes were even marginally feashysible and recommended TxDOT forego any expansion construcshytion but look instead into imshyproving existing routes -Odessa Chamber of Commerce Chairman Drew Crutcher said he was neither surprised nor disapshypointed by the studys recomshymendation

I think thats great news if they are going to improve the corrishydors he said The improvements are a necesshy

sary part of MOTRANs plan to

establish a trade corridor beshytween the Permian Basin and Mexico Crutcher said La Enshytrada al Pacifico would connect the Basin to traders in Chihuahua City Mexico and eventually to the Mexican deep sea port of Topolobampo on the Pacific coast

Although it is unknown at this point if any funding will be availshyable for the improvements Thurin said any upgrades will be prioritized based on the costftenefit ratio

MOTRAN and Big Bend Area Travel Association will continue to work together to promote tourshyism in this area Myers said We will just have to wait and see whats going to happen

against Jeff Davis County man PECOS - Prosecutors called

JudgcrLucius Buttons $18 milshylion judgment last week against a Fort Davis man and his order to expunge records of a lien on the entire state of Texas a victory against paper terrorism

Richard Lance McLaren a Fort Davis paralegal has filed liens throughout the state arguing Texas annexation by the United States in 1845 by joint resolution rather than treaty nullifiesTexas statehood Thus McLaren arshygues the states current governshyment has no authority to own land or levy property taxes

McLaren failed to appear for court having notified the clerk that he does not recognize the federal courts jurisdiction

Attorney Michael T Morgan asked Judge Bunton to also find McLaren in contempt of court for violating a temporary injuncshytion ordering him to stop pursuit of Steward Title Company in any other forum without Judge Bun-tons permission He took that under advisement

Morgan said that McLarens filings in clerks offices throughshyout the state constitute paper tershyrorism and without injunctive relief the pattern of conduct will be repeated in ever-escalating filshyings He has gone from a few thousand dollars to $10 million against Stewart Title to $60 trilshylion against Texas

In using the United States mail

to send a lien document on Steshywart Title to Harris County for filing McLaren violated the RICO statute Morgan said

He asked Judge Bunton to put McLarens pleadings in the trash can where they belong

The action came after McLaren filed a lien against Stewart Title as Class Demandant Chief Ambassador and Consul General

bull of Republic of Texas and Upshyper Limpia Basin Trust aka Upper Limited Basin Common Law Trust and the purported Republic of Texas He had scheduled an auction

sale of the company which prompted Stewart Title to seek the injunction to stop the sale Morgan asked Judge Bunton to extend his preliminary injunction to last weeks witnesses after testimony indicated a patter of retaliation against anyone opposshying McLaren

Lynne Baldwin owner of Jeff Davis County Abstract testified

that McLaren attempted to file a lien on the state of Texasin Jeff Davis County on March 30 but the clerk refused it However is was recorded in Travis County^ she said

McLarens filings began with liens against Jeff Davis County commissioners and they have escalated through the years reshysulting in a loss of real estate sales in the county Baldwin said

A Fort Davis real estate broker

Fran Glaze said that McLarens actions cost her several sales

When-I show property espeshycially in the Davis Mountain Reshysort (where McLaren lives) I disclose to them there are lawshysuits pending In the past McLaren has approached my customers after I showed them property and said the title to the land wasnt clear He said the surveys werent good and the state of Texas owned the propshyerty Glaze said

McLaren claimed that there was unpatented school land within the boundariesof the Davis Mountain Resort she said

He said the surveys were off and everything in the county shifted eastward she said

The filings against Stewart Title would cause her to seek another insurance underwriter to guaranshytee the title she said John C Martin vice president

of Stewart Title Guaranty Co estimated his company lost one percent of their $45 million in business during 1995 because of McLarens filings

Representing residents of Davis Mountain Resort McLaren claimed they suffered financial loss due to bad title or surveys environmental degradation inshycluding bad roads and costs of litigation He placed the value at $10 million in silver lawful

money of the United States or 10 million pieces of silver coin conshytaining 37125 grains (troy) of fine silver

To satisfy thelien McLaren planned to sell all bonds furnishyture automobiles lands real esshytate cash investmentst title plants electronic data equipshyment income and land or buildshyings in Galveston and Houston that belong to Stewart Title on Feb 13

Martin testified that publicity about McLarens filings have damaged his companys reputashytion because people do not have full knowledge of the facts of the case

bull John Hemphill a San Angelo attorney testified he was a vicshytim of McLarens claims when he represented a landowner whose ranch adjoins Davis Mountain Resort

McLaren filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas Hemphill said he knew of grievances McLaren filed against surveyors involved in the case and against other attorneys

Anything inconsistent with his point of view he seems to try to eliminate the opinion by filing grievances he said

In addition to damages Judge Bunton awarded expenses and atshytorney fees of $28500 to the plaintiff

Judge Brisbin to meet with county jail finance officials PRESIDIO COUNTY - A

meeting with Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin Jr certifishycate of participation holders who financed the Presidio County Jail and Texas Comshymerce Bank officials has tentashytively been scheduled fpr May tovcantinue WiscuinfliintjrjB the jaiis financiafsituatioh

Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin told County Commisshysioners at their regular monthly meeting Monday that he reshyceived a letter from the Texas Commerce Bank in Houston asking that a meeting be held in New York City or Houston The county is in default after

not making the $236177 Janu- ary 1 payment on the 96-bed fashycility that was build in 1994

Ive talked to our attorney and we will attend the meeting We are hoping the meeting will be held in Houston Brisbin said~

Commissioners held a lengthy discussion about combining road service equipment and personnel to form a unit system for road maintenance

Commissioners have always maintained the county roads within their own precinct

Commissioner Phil Cordero recommended the unit system and said that the system is a senshysible way to build a better system to maintain the roads

However Commissioner Jack

Brunson disagreed saying The county doesnt have the extra people to do extra jobs It will end up with too little money and too little people

Geographically its too diffishycult because the towns are spread

Henley completes narration of documentary Return to Giant9

Native Texan and musician Don Henley has completed narshyration of the documentary Reshyturn To Giant at Sumet Studios in Dallas

Return To Giant is an hour-long documentary on the making of the national movie of Texas and i s slated to air on KERATDTN in September

Return To Giant revisits the location of Giant - Marfa - and looks at the changes that have taken place since an army of cameramen and crew invaded the little town 40 years ago

Return To Giant featuresin-terviews with Dennis Hopper Fran Bennett Bob Hinkle and several Marfans who worked on the film including Clay Evans Reata the Benedicts sprawling ranch house was constructed on the Evans ranch for the film At that time (1955) Clay was a 19-year-old cowboy who befriended a youngactor named James Dean bull The choice of Don Henley as

narrator was an easy one says documentary Producer Kirby F Warnock

Don has had a keen interest in Texas historyand all things Texan says Warnock I like to classify him as the thinking mans rock star He also has a

deep rich voice with a good Texas accent His voice-over work was incredible

University of Texas Professor Dr Don Graham the author of Cowboys amp Cadillacs offers his insights on the importance of Giant in cinema-history and Texas culture Dr Graham is our Shelby Foote adds Warshynock

Giant was a George Stevens production of Edna Ferbers best-selling novel of the same name The film was released in 1956 and starred Elizabeth Tayshylor Rbck Hudson James Dean Dennis Hopper and Fran Benshynett It was one of the first modshyern westerns and had as its hero the oil man instead of the cowshyboy

In commemoration of the films 40th anniversary Warner Brothshyers will re-release Giant to theaters on September 20

Return To Giant will tell the story of the making of this epic picture while providing a look at how Texas has changed since the film was made Return To Gishyant is being co-sponsored by Neiman Marcus

For more information on Reshyturn To Giant call TransPecos Productions at (214) 942-4905

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

TDA is assisting Texas ranchshyers in making sales to Mexico by furnishing a hot line (800) 660-COWS for Texas ranchers to list heifers and cows they have for sale

that he turned around and hiked back 40 miles to take it back -to the spot where he found it Madrid said

Taking back the artifact means hes an extremely morale personHes a really good pershyson I dont know what hapshypened to his brother

He remembers David as a poet and philosopher

We talked a bit and he was an interesting person He would spend six months here in the desert and then would go hack to the city xto work tor six months Madrid said People come to the desert searching for peace and quiet Hes nothing like his brother He was seekshying understanding and peace

LaFollette met David at an Episcopal church service at Terlingua Ranch in 1985

Hes no different than anyshybody else - a decent well edushycated person he said I met his father and mother once at a Christmas Eve service I wasnt aware of any siblings The last time I saw him was at Jimmy Dunns funeral in July 1994

LaFollette noted that it was obvious that when David first suspected his brother he went to great lengths to make sure le information was valid he-

foVe going to authorities Thats certainly the way

David operates he said He would never lightly turn in a close relative

In an interview with the New York Times ami Austin Ameii-can-Statesman Joe LaFollette said he used tu pend tune will) David discussing |)ueiigt phishylosophy and the idei bullgtbull Hi my David Thoreau MMIIHIHIHS Gandhi and othei tlunkei vlnlc sitting_jmiund-a camplire as the Coyotes howled

It must have been veiy painshyful for him to realize thai his brother could have been the Unabomher and killed and hurt

Ojinaga man

all those people and that he might have unknowingly sent money to his brother that was used to buy explosives or mail the bombs to the victims LashyFollette said

I could see the pain in his eyes on television and I know how much it hurt him to turn in Theodore but Im sure he beshylieved he had to do it

Other people from this small community all describe David as a good guy or a nice young man

Anita Gloria who works at Terlingua Ranch Restaurant reshymembers him as a very nice man

The last time I saw him was about two or three years ago He stillowns property here she said

According to Brewster County Tax Assessor-Collector Jerry Ratclilf David owns 30 acres in the northeast section of Tershylingua Ranch known as Cedar Springs Three of the tracts are together and two are nearby

He purchased the land in 1986 and built an eight-foot by 12-foot house the following year In 1993 he added an addition to increase the size of his home to eight-feet by 24-feet The property is in both his and his wifes names

The couple is current on their property taxes Ratcliff said noting that the most recent payshyment was in October 1995

According to the Times the couple often went on lelieaLsfb the Far West Texas home to wiite and reflect The nips of-leied David a rest from his job as a social worker at an Alshybany N Y shelter for runshyaway youths

Sanchez and Theodore Kaezy n-ski never met in person but only corresponded by mail according to the Times

Don Fiedler a Terlingua Ranch acquaintance of David Kaczynshyski said David is a very conscishyentious person and likes to help the poor when he is in the area

Science fair

One ol the people he helped was Sanchez Fiedler said adding that Sanchez did day work for several Terlingua Ranch propshyerty owners

On Wednesday Ojinaga radio stations weie broadcasting messhysages that Sanchez contact Mexishycan authorities

Reporters including Bryant Eduardo Holman Ojinaga corshyrespondent for The International Presidio Paper found Sanchez home in Ojinaga Wednesday but he wasnt there

However a family member gave reporters copies of two letshyters Kaczynski sent to Sanchez

Another letter from the Unabomber suspect to Juan Sanchez Arreola of Ojinaga

Teodoro Kaczynski PO Box 524 Lincoln MT 59639

Noviembre 28 de 1995 Sr Juan Sanchez Arreola Mi muy estimado y apreciable amigo ^ Es tiempo de mahdarle a usted un saludo navideno Casi es

diciembre y aqui hay sobre el suelo una buena capa de nieve y en este momento esta cayendo mas nieve senal de que se esta acercando epoca de Navidad

Yo aqui estoy bien Estoy mas pobre que nunca pero estoy muy bien de salud y esto es lo que mas importa En cuanto a la pobreza tengo cincuenta y tres dolares y un centavo exactamente y apenas si podria evitar el hambre este invierno sin cazar las liebres por carne Pero con las liebres y algo de harina y semejantes que tengo almacenadas y ademas de unas legumbres secas de mi huertita pasare el invierno bastante bien Y cuando llegue la primavera tal vez yo tenga mejor suerte con el empleo y el dinero de manera que pueda ir a visitarlo a usted Veremos

En cuanto a estas liebres que se llaman liebres de raquetas (snowshoe lares en ingles) son muy hermosas e interesantes y ademas muy utiles porque muchas veces me han provisto comer carne alguna Se le puede cazar libremente sin compear licencia y las suelo cazar con un rifle 22 de la manera siguienteleuando de manana hay nieve fresca que haya caido durante la noche salgo al monte y camino hasta encontra unas huellas de liebre frescas Luego sigo las huellas hasta encontrar la liebre Por lo general esto es facil ha hecho nieve hasta una o dos horas antes del amanecer y despues ha cesado de hacer nieve Pero cuando la nieve ha caido durante la primera parte de la noche y no durante el resto de la noche entonces suele ser dificil rastrear las liebres porque descansan durante el dia y se mueven durante la noche y caminan en direcciones siempre cambiantes de manera que cruzan repetidas veces su-propio rastro y el rastro de otras liebres y asi en el curso de una noche han rastreado muy enredados y dificiles de seguir

De todos modos cuando se sabe por lo fresco de las huellas que la liebre esta cerca se teine que mirar porque estas liebres se vuelven blancas durante el invierno y no son tan faciles de ver en la blancura de la nieve Por lo general los que se echan de ver primero son el negro ojo y las negras puntas de las orejas que

(no se puede leer lo que sigue) una buena posicion desde la que tirar y se debe ser cuidado de no

espantar a la liebre porque si se espanta y corre a veces se tiene que seguirle dos horas antes de consequir otra oportunidad de tirar Pero una vez consequida una buena oportunidad de tirar se le pega a la liebre una bala en la cabeza se tiene una libra poco mas o meno de carne Con libra quiero decir un pound norteamericano que es un medio kilogramo aproximadamente

No he recibido carta de usted desde principio de febrero asi que no se como le va Ojala que todas las cosas les vayan muy bien a usted y su familia Escuche por radio que Mexico esta sufriendo dificultades economicas Espero que esta no afecten su familia si esta todavia en Mexico

Tendre que ir a la oficina del correo cerca del primer dia de enero pero despues con probabilidad pasare el resto del invierno sin ir a la aldea Lincoln y por esto no visitare mi buzon en la oficina del correo hasta la primavera

Pues queda por decir solamente que les deseo a usted y su familia uan Navidad muy feliz y un aTfo nuevo muy prospero Que Dios los bendiga a usted y toda su familia

Su amigo que tanto lo estima y aprecia Teodoro Kaczynski

J^-^-J Editor This year will mark my 19th season as a Washington Redskin

fan As any dedicated fan knows a sports team can bring on many great memories as well as sad

My greatest memory occurred on January 31 1988 when Washington defeated Denver in Superbowl XXII after trailing 10-0 in the first quarter My worst memory occurred on November 24 1991 when I attended my first game at RFK only to watch Dallas defeat my team by a score of 24-21

However with all the ups and downs of a football season the worst thing that could happen to a dedicated fan is when a hero is suspected caught or convicted of drug use Dexter Manley was one of the greatest defensive lineman that proved himself on the field Coach Joe Gibbs had no choice but to cut him after he continued his addiction to drugs It has been rumored that Dexter is now at the federal prison near Fort Stockton I often wondered if I would seek his autograph if I ever saw him but the more I think about it the more depressed I get

Many Dallas Cowboy fans are facing the same situation with the Michael Irvin and Harvey Martin incidents I am a firm believer that a person is innocent until proven guilty^As hard as Michael

Irvin has worked to become an important part of that team I hope th he does not disappoint his fans Even if he is not convicted he will have this dark shadow on him What do you think would happen to Michael if Tom Laundry was the head coach

Although I have disliked the Dallas Cowboys for many years I have enjoyed watching players like Roger Staubach Tony Dorsett and Emmit Smith There is one special player on the Dallas team that I like hut with all the stars he is overlooked Bill Bates is a true player and should be everyones hero He recently passed a lucrative offer from the Oakland Raiders and settled for $275000 This will be his 14th season and plays like a rookie healthy and aggressive I dont know how much longer 40 will be around but I will always consider him to be a great persorthojh onandjpftthe fields bdquo bdquo1-bullbdquo bulllt v

vw Editor The deficiency of the B-complex vitamin folacin (previously

called folic acid) is a pressing public health problem Mhst important are women at conception and during the first four months of pregnancy Conception through the first three months (first trimester) to four months of pregnancy when the organs and skeleton of the fetus are formed but at this time there is little growth The organs and skeleton will not form correctly unless the mother is consuming enough folacin

During the first three months the fetus of a deficient women |1ess than 200 to 1000 micrograms (megs or ugs) or 02 milligram to 10 milligram (mg)) can develop with no brain (anencephaly) or with a split spinal cord or hole in the spinal cord (spina bifida) and other birth defects of the central nervous system like water on the brain (hydrocephalus)

A Women who is or can become pregnant and consumes alcohol has a greater need for folacin as well as other B-complex vitamins She should take a vitamin supplement recommended by a nutrition knowledgeable health care professional However taking a supplement should never substitute for eating foods high

Several prescription drugs can causebirth defects identical to those caused by folacin deficiency They might interfere with folacins chemical actions in the body Mostfoods high in folacin are likely to be high in other nutrients as well Examples are broccoli spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables oranges organ meats melons peanuts (peanut butter) and brewers yeast

During the first three months or first trimester of pregnancy the pan of the fetus are put together Each body part develops during a certain stage poor nutrition during the first trimester can cause damage to the part being formed

During the second and third trimesters the parts of the body grow Growth cannot occur without the presence of folacin because the cell cannot divide without it Furthermore healthy growih cannot occur without the right amount of folacin The reason forthis is when proteins are made in the body the vitamin folacin is essential Without the right amount of folacin the body cannot make proteins including those that fight infections and (fancer This can cause another problem if a person gets a vaccination when they are deficient in fqlactn the vaccination might hot work

The Thunderbird Special of the Week

Can you take too much folacin Probably Large doses given to experimental animal continue to concentrate in the spinal cord this is not a problem with less than 800 micrograms to 10 milligram (1000 micrograms) in humans Large intakes of folacin can cover up the severe deficiency of Vitamin B-12 This can be a problem with a few strict vegetarians who do not consume vitamin B-12 There is a rare disease called pernicious anemia that results

i from the inab^Uyrlaquof-ther8tpmach and-the intestines to absorb B-12 that ordinarily occus in the diet

A nutritional myth is that you have to have B-12 shots if you have pernicious anemia or other absorption problems Large doses of B-12 (1000 micrograms one milligram to 3500 micrograms 3 and 12 milligrams)in the form of a vitamin tablet will prevent and cure pernicious anemia just as an injection will There are several conditions that require large injections of

Vitamin B-12 these are rare genetic disorders One is called Vitamin B-12 dependent MMA (methyl-malonic-acidemia or aciduria) Infants born with this rare disorder have little energy and symptoms of nervous system disorders When they receive large doses of B-12 through dairy or frequent injections they can often have healthy lives

One mother convicted for-poisoning her babies with ethylene glycol (ami-freeze) went to prison Finally a court exonerated her when a lawyer with a degree in biochemistry took her case He proved that her babies died of MMA rather than anti-freeze poisoning If her babies had suffered from the form of MMA that is treated with large injections of Vitamin B-12 they might have lived

TxDOT says no to 1-27 extension FAR WEST TEXAS - Texas

Department of Transportations decision not to extend Interstate 27 from Lubbock to Interstate 10 may not be bad news for Midland Odessa Transportation Allishyances plan to establish a trade corridor to Mexico according to MOTRAN member Herb Myers of Presidio

TxDOT turned us down on extending the route but they may upgrade the roads for heavier traffic Thats good news for us Myers said

MOTRANs proposed corrishydor known as La Entrada Al Pacifico would have begun where 1-27 ends in Lubbock run through Midland and Odessa to 1-10 east of Fort Stockton

The proposal was one of several that was under consideration

TxDOT Project Manager Peggy Thurin said the consultshyants HDR Engineering detershymined only two of the proposed routes were even marginally feashysible and recommended TxDOT forego any expansion construcshytion but look instead into imshyproving existing routes -Odessa Chamber of Commerce Chairman Drew Crutcher said he was neither surprised nor disapshypointed by the studys recomshymendation

I think thats great news if they are going to improve the corrishydors he said The improvements are a necesshy

sary part of MOTRANs plan to

establish a trade corridor beshytween the Permian Basin and Mexico Crutcher said La Enshytrada al Pacifico would connect the Basin to traders in Chihuahua City Mexico and eventually to the Mexican deep sea port of Topolobampo on the Pacific coast

Although it is unknown at this point if any funding will be availshyable for the improvements Thurin said any upgrades will be prioritized based on the costftenefit ratio

MOTRAN and Big Bend Area Travel Association will continue to work together to promote tourshyism in this area Myers said We will just have to wait and see whats going to happen

against Jeff Davis County man PECOS - Prosecutors called

JudgcrLucius Buttons $18 milshylion judgment last week against a Fort Davis man and his order to expunge records of a lien on the entire state of Texas a victory against paper terrorism

Richard Lance McLaren a Fort Davis paralegal has filed liens throughout the state arguing Texas annexation by the United States in 1845 by joint resolution rather than treaty nullifiesTexas statehood Thus McLaren arshygues the states current governshyment has no authority to own land or levy property taxes

McLaren failed to appear for court having notified the clerk that he does not recognize the federal courts jurisdiction

Attorney Michael T Morgan asked Judge Bunton to also find McLaren in contempt of court for violating a temporary injuncshytion ordering him to stop pursuit of Steward Title Company in any other forum without Judge Bun-tons permission He took that under advisement

Morgan said that McLarens filings in clerks offices throughshyout the state constitute paper tershyrorism and without injunctive relief the pattern of conduct will be repeated in ever-escalating filshyings He has gone from a few thousand dollars to $10 million against Stewart Title to $60 trilshylion against Texas

In using the United States mail

to send a lien document on Steshywart Title to Harris County for filing McLaren violated the RICO statute Morgan said

He asked Judge Bunton to put McLarens pleadings in the trash can where they belong

The action came after McLaren filed a lien against Stewart Title as Class Demandant Chief Ambassador and Consul General

bull of Republic of Texas and Upshyper Limpia Basin Trust aka Upper Limited Basin Common Law Trust and the purported Republic of Texas He had scheduled an auction

sale of the company which prompted Stewart Title to seek the injunction to stop the sale Morgan asked Judge Bunton to extend his preliminary injunction to last weeks witnesses after testimony indicated a patter of retaliation against anyone opposshying McLaren

Lynne Baldwin owner of Jeff Davis County Abstract testified

that McLaren attempted to file a lien on the state of Texasin Jeff Davis County on March 30 but the clerk refused it However is was recorded in Travis County^ she said

McLarens filings began with liens against Jeff Davis County commissioners and they have escalated through the years reshysulting in a loss of real estate sales in the county Baldwin said

A Fort Davis real estate broker

Fran Glaze said that McLarens actions cost her several sales

When-I show property espeshycially in the Davis Mountain Reshysort (where McLaren lives) I disclose to them there are lawshysuits pending In the past McLaren has approached my customers after I showed them property and said the title to the land wasnt clear He said the surveys werent good and the state of Texas owned the propshyerty Glaze said

McLaren claimed that there was unpatented school land within the boundariesof the Davis Mountain Resort she said

He said the surveys were off and everything in the county shifted eastward she said

The filings against Stewart Title would cause her to seek another insurance underwriter to guaranshytee the title she said John C Martin vice president

of Stewart Title Guaranty Co estimated his company lost one percent of their $45 million in business during 1995 because of McLarens filings

Representing residents of Davis Mountain Resort McLaren claimed they suffered financial loss due to bad title or surveys environmental degradation inshycluding bad roads and costs of litigation He placed the value at $10 million in silver lawful

money of the United States or 10 million pieces of silver coin conshytaining 37125 grains (troy) of fine silver

To satisfy thelien McLaren planned to sell all bonds furnishyture automobiles lands real esshytate cash investmentst title plants electronic data equipshyment income and land or buildshyings in Galveston and Houston that belong to Stewart Title on Feb 13

Martin testified that publicity about McLarens filings have damaged his companys reputashytion because people do not have full knowledge of the facts of the case

bull John Hemphill a San Angelo attorney testified he was a vicshytim of McLarens claims when he represented a landowner whose ranch adjoins Davis Mountain Resort

McLaren filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas Hemphill said he knew of grievances McLaren filed against surveyors involved in the case and against other attorneys

Anything inconsistent with his point of view he seems to try to eliminate the opinion by filing grievances he said

In addition to damages Judge Bunton awarded expenses and atshytorney fees of $28500 to the plaintiff

Judge Brisbin to meet with county jail finance officials PRESIDIO COUNTY - A

meeting with Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin Jr certifishycate of participation holders who financed the Presidio County Jail and Texas Comshymerce Bank officials has tentashytively been scheduled fpr May tovcantinue WiscuinfliintjrjB the jaiis financiafsituatioh

Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin told County Commisshysioners at their regular monthly meeting Monday that he reshyceived a letter from the Texas Commerce Bank in Houston asking that a meeting be held in New York City or Houston The county is in default after

not making the $236177 Janu- ary 1 payment on the 96-bed fashycility that was build in 1994

Ive talked to our attorney and we will attend the meeting We are hoping the meeting will be held in Houston Brisbin said~

Commissioners held a lengthy discussion about combining road service equipment and personnel to form a unit system for road maintenance

Commissioners have always maintained the county roads within their own precinct

Commissioner Phil Cordero recommended the unit system and said that the system is a senshysible way to build a better system to maintain the roads

However Commissioner Jack

Brunson disagreed saying The county doesnt have the extra people to do extra jobs It will end up with too little money and too little people

Geographically its too diffishycult because the towns are spread

zzmteampNR have Tfo^ntpve^me equipment down there and then turn around and bring it back to Marfa

Elected officials scheduled a special meeting in Presidio Monshyday tojlLscussThe-possibility and to look at financial figures Howshyever Wednesday^ Brisbin said the meeting has been canceled

Commissioners also discussed the 1993 Texas Department of Housing and Farmers Home Housing Preservation Grants program and future grant money

Its a good program but we dont have anyone here to overshy

see the work that is being done or future work Brisbin said I would recommend that we finish

the seven houses we are working with now and then see if we can de-obligate from the 1994 grant if there is no penalty -Commissioners Brunsoji bullJaime Rodriguez and Juan Jose Muniz agreed Cordero who is in favor of the program voted against the proposal

In other business commissionshyers tabled action on a request to use county funds for a proposed firing range arid obstacle course and action on the HOME proshygram bids

They approved a $500 contrishybution to the Family Crises Censhyter of the Big Bend an interlocal cooperation agreement between Presidio County and Big Bend Regional Hospital District to colshy

lect taxes and a request by Tershyesa Todd to have a street dance in late July between the old Presidio County Jail and the Courthouse However Brisbin told Todd she will have to make the request to City of Marfa ofshyficials

Henley completes narration of documentary Return to Giant9

Native Texan and musician Don Henley has completed narshyration of the documentary Reshyturn To Giant at Sumet Studios in Dallas

Return To Giant is an hour-long documentary on the making of the national movie of Texas and i s slated to air on KERATDTN in September

Return To Giant revisits the location of Giant - Marfa - and looks at the changes that have taken place since an army of cameramen and crew invaded the little town 40 years ago

Return To Giant featuresin-terviews with Dennis Hopper Fran Bennett Bob Hinkle and several Marfans who worked on the film including Clay Evans Reata the Benedicts sprawling ranch house was constructed on the Evans ranch for the film At that time (1955) Clay was a 19-year-old cowboy who befriended a youngactor named James Dean bull The choice of Don Henley as

narrator was an easy one says documentary Producer Kirby F Warnock

Don has had a keen interest in Texas historyand all things Texan says Warnock I like to classify him as the thinking mans rock star He also has a

deep rich voice with a good Texas accent His voice-over work was incredible

University of Texas Professor Dr Don Graham the author of Cowboys amp Cadillacs offers his insights on the importance of Giant in cinema-history and Texas culture Dr Graham is our Shelby Foote adds Warshynock

Giant was a George Stevens production of Edna Ferbers best-selling novel of the same name The film was released in 1956 and starred Elizabeth Tayshylor Rbck Hudson James Dean Dennis Hopper and Fran Benshynett It was one of the first modshyern westerns and had as its hero the oil man instead of the cowshyboy

In commemoration of the films 40th anniversary Warner Brothshyers will re-release Giant to theaters on September 20

Return To Giant will tell the story of the making of this epic picture while providing a look at how Texas has changed since the film was made Return To Gishyant is being co-sponsored by Neiman Marcus

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

TDA is assisting Texas ranchshyers in making sales to Mexico by furnishing a hot line (800) 660-COWS for Texas ranchers to list heifers and cows they have for sale

Letters to the editor Editor -bull To All Cancer Survivors On behalf of the Big Bend Unit of the American Cancer Society

I request the honor of your presence at die first annual Relay for Life The 24-hour relay kicks off promptly at 6 pm on Friday April

^26 at the SRSU track JThe first lap-is reserved for cancer survivors in celebration of those of us who are winning the battle against cancer bull

J^-^-J Editor This year will mark my 19th season as a Washington Redskin

fan As any dedicated fan knows a sports team can bring on many great memories as well as sad

My greatest memory occurred on January 31 1988 when Washington defeated Denver in Superbowl XXII after trailing 10-0 in the first quarter My worst memory occurred on November 24 1991 when I attended my first game at RFK only to watch Dallas defeat my team by a score of 24-21

However with all the ups and downs of a football season the worst thing that could happen to a dedicated fan is when a hero is suspected caught or convicted of drug use Dexter Manley was one of the greatest defensive lineman that proved himself on the field Coach Joe Gibbs had no choice but to cut him after he continued his addiction to drugs It has been rumored that Dexter is now at the federal prison near Fort Stockton I often wondered if I would seek his autograph if I ever saw him but the more I think about it the more depressed I get

Many Dallas Cowboy fans are facing the same situation with the Michael Irvin and Harvey Martin incidents I am a firm believer that a person is innocent until proven guilty^As hard as Michael

Irvin has worked to become an important part of that team I hope th he does not disappoint his fans Even if he is not convicted he will have this dark shadow on him What do you think would happen to Michael if Tom Laundry was the head coach

Although I have disliked the Dallas Cowboys for many years I have enjoyed watching players like Roger Staubach Tony Dorsett and Emmit Smith There is one special player on the Dallas team that I like hut with all the stars he is overlooked Bill Bates is a true player and should be everyones hero He recently passed a lucrative offer from the Oakland Raiders and settled for $275000 This will be his 14th season and plays like a rookie healthy and aggressive I dont know how much longer 40 will be around but I will always consider him to be a great persorthojh onandjpftthe fields bdquo bdquo1-bullbdquo bulllt v

vw Editor The deficiency of the B-complex vitamin folacin (previously

called folic acid) is a pressing public health problem Mhst important are women at conception and during the first four months of pregnancy Conception through the first three months (first trimester) to four months of pregnancy when the organs and skeleton of the fetus are formed but at this time there is little growth The organs and skeleton will not form correctly unless the mother is consuming enough folacin

During the first three months the fetus of a deficient women |1ess than 200 to 1000 micrograms (megs or ugs) or 02 milligram to 10 milligram (mg)) can develop with no brain (anencephaly) or with a split spinal cord or hole in the spinal cord (spina bifida) and other birth defects of the central nervous system like water on the brain (hydrocephalus)

A Women who is or can become pregnant and consumes alcohol has a greater need for folacin as well as other B-complex vitamins She should take a vitamin supplement recommended by a nutrition knowledgeable health care professional However taking a supplement should never substitute for eating foods high

Several prescription drugs can causebirth defects identical to those caused by folacin deficiency They might interfere with folacins chemical actions in the body Mostfoods high in folacin are likely to be high in other nutrients as well Examples are broccoli spinach and other dark green leafy vegetables oranges organ meats melons peanuts (peanut butter) and brewers yeast

During the first three months or first trimester of pregnancy the pan of the fetus are put together Each body part develops during a certain stage poor nutrition during the first trimester can cause damage to the part being formed

During the second and third trimesters the parts of the body grow Growth cannot occur without the presence of folacin because the cell cannot divide without it Furthermore healthy growih cannot occur without the right amount of folacin The reason forthis is when proteins are made in the body the vitamin folacin is essential Without the right amount of folacin the body cannot make proteins including those that fight infections and (fancer This can cause another problem if a person gets a vaccination when they are deficient in fqlactn the vaccination might hot work

The Thunderbird Special of the Week

Can you take too much folacin Probably Large doses given to experimental animal continue to concentrate in the spinal cord this is not a problem with less than 800 micrograms to 10 milligram (1000 micrograms) in humans Large intakes of folacin can cover up the severe deficiency of Vitamin B-12 This can be a problem with a few strict vegetarians who do not consume vitamin B-12 There is a rare disease called pernicious anemia that results

i from the inab^Uyrlaquof-ther8tpmach and-the intestines to absorb B-12 that ordinarily occus in the diet

A nutritional myth is that you have to have B-12 shots if you have pernicious anemia or other absorption problems Large doses of B-12 (1000 micrograms one milligram to 3500 micrograms 3 and 12 milligrams)in the form of a vitamin tablet will prevent and cure pernicious anemia just as an injection will There are several conditions that require large injections of

Vitamin B-12 these are rare genetic disorders One is called Vitamin B-12 dependent MMA (methyl-malonic-acidemia or aciduria) Infants born with this rare disorder have little energy and symptoms of nervous system disorders When they receive large doses of B-12 through dairy or frequent injections they can often have healthy lives

One mother convicted for-poisoning her babies with ethylene glycol (ami-freeze) went to prison Finally a court exonerated her when a lawyer with a degree in biochemistry took her case He proved that her babies died of MMA rather than anti-freeze poisoning If her babies had suffered from the form of MMA that is treated with large injections of Vitamin B-12 they might have lived

TxDOT says no to 1-27 extension FAR WEST TEXAS - Texas

Department of Transportations decision not to extend Interstate 27 from Lubbock to Interstate 10 may not be bad news for Midland Odessa Transportation Allishyances plan to establish a trade corridor to Mexico according to MOTRAN member Herb Myers of Presidio

TxDOT turned us down on extending the route but they may upgrade the roads for heavier traffic Thats good news for us Myers said

MOTRANs proposed corrishydor known as La Entrada Al Pacifico would have begun where 1-27 ends in Lubbock run through Midland and Odessa to 1-10 east of Fort Stockton

The proposal was one of several that was under consideration

TxDOT Project Manager Peggy Thurin said the consultshyants HDR Engineering detershymined only two of the proposed routes were even marginally feashysible and recommended TxDOT forego any expansion construcshytion but look instead into imshyproving existing routes -Odessa Chamber of Commerce Chairman Drew Crutcher said he was neither surprised nor disapshypointed by the studys recomshymendation

I think thats great news if they are going to improve the corrishydors he said The improvements are a necesshy

sary part of MOTRANs plan to

establish a trade corridor beshytween the Permian Basin and Mexico Crutcher said La Enshytrada al Pacifico would connect the Basin to traders in Chihuahua City Mexico and eventually to the Mexican deep sea port of Topolobampo on the Pacific coast

Although it is unknown at this point if any funding will be availshyable for the improvements Thurin said any upgrades will be prioritized based on the costftenefit ratio

MOTRAN and Big Bend Area Travel Association will continue to work together to promote tourshyism in this area Myers said We will just have to wait and see whats going to happen

against Jeff Davis County man PECOS - Prosecutors called

JudgcrLucius Buttons $18 milshylion judgment last week against a Fort Davis man and his order to expunge records of a lien on the entire state of Texas a victory against paper terrorism

Richard Lance McLaren a Fort Davis paralegal has filed liens throughout the state arguing Texas annexation by the United States in 1845 by joint resolution rather than treaty nullifiesTexas statehood Thus McLaren arshygues the states current governshyment has no authority to own land or levy property taxes

McLaren failed to appear for court having notified the clerk that he does not recognize the federal courts jurisdiction

Attorney Michael T Morgan asked Judge Bunton to also find McLaren in contempt of court for violating a temporary injuncshytion ordering him to stop pursuit of Steward Title Company in any other forum without Judge Bun-tons permission He took that under advisement

Morgan said that McLarens filings in clerks offices throughshyout the state constitute paper tershyrorism and without injunctive relief the pattern of conduct will be repeated in ever-escalating filshyings He has gone from a few thousand dollars to $10 million against Stewart Title to $60 trilshylion against Texas

In using the United States mail

to send a lien document on Steshywart Title to Harris County for filing McLaren violated the RICO statute Morgan said

He asked Judge Bunton to put McLarens pleadings in the trash can where they belong

The action came after McLaren filed a lien against Stewart Title as Class Demandant Chief Ambassador and Consul General

bull of Republic of Texas and Upshyper Limpia Basin Trust aka Upper Limited Basin Common Law Trust and the purported Republic of Texas He had scheduled an auction

sale of the company which prompted Stewart Title to seek the injunction to stop the sale Morgan asked Judge Bunton to extend his preliminary injunction to last weeks witnesses after testimony indicated a patter of retaliation against anyone opposshying McLaren

Lynne Baldwin owner of Jeff Davis County Abstract testified

that McLaren attempted to file a lien on the state of Texasin Jeff Davis County on March 30 but the clerk refused it However is was recorded in Travis County^ she said

McLarens filings began with liens against Jeff Davis County commissioners and they have escalated through the years reshysulting in a loss of real estate sales in the county Baldwin said

A Fort Davis real estate broker

Fran Glaze said that McLarens actions cost her several sales

When-I show property espeshycially in the Davis Mountain Reshysort (where McLaren lives) I disclose to them there are lawshysuits pending In the past McLaren has approached my customers after I showed them property and said the title to the land wasnt clear He said the surveys werent good and the state of Texas owned the propshyerty Glaze said

McLaren claimed that there was unpatented school land within the boundariesof the Davis Mountain Resort she said

He said the surveys were off and everything in the county shifted eastward she said

The filings against Stewart Title would cause her to seek another insurance underwriter to guaranshytee the title she said John C Martin vice president

of Stewart Title Guaranty Co estimated his company lost one percent of their $45 million in business during 1995 because of McLarens filings

Representing residents of Davis Mountain Resort McLaren claimed they suffered financial loss due to bad title or surveys environmental degradation inshycluding bad roads and costs of litigation He placed the value at $10 million in silver lawful

money of the United States or 10 million pieces of silver coin conshytaining 37125 grains (troy) of fine silver

To satisfy thelien McLaren planned to sell all bonds furnishyture automobiles lands real esshytate cash investmentst title plants electronic data equipshyment income and land or buildshyings in Galveston and Houston that belong to Stewart Title on Feb 13

Martin testified that publicity about McLarens filings have damaged his companys reputashytion because people do not have full knowledge of the facts of the case

bull John Hemphill a San Angelo attorney testified he was a vicshytim of McLarens claims when he represented a landowner whose ranch adjoins Davis Mountain Resort

McLaren filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas Hemphill said he knew of grievances McLaren filed against surveyors involved in the case and against other attorneys

Anything inconsistent with his point of view he seems to try to eliminate the opinion by filing grievances he said

In addition to damages Judge Bunton awarded expenses and atshytorney fees of $28500 to the plaintiff

Judge Brisbin to meet with county jail finance officials PRESIDIO COUNTY - A

meeting with Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin Jr certifishycate of participation holders who financed the Presidio County Jail and Texas Comshymerce Bank officials has tentashytively been scheduled fpr May tovcantinue WiscuinfliintjrjB the jaiis financiafsituatioh

Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin told County Commisshysioners at their regular monthly meeting Monday that he reshyceived a letter from the Texas Commerce Bank in Houston asking that a meeting be held in New York City or Houston The county is in default after

not making the $236177 Janu- ary 1 payment on the 96-bed fashycility that was build in 1994

Ive talked to our attorney and we will attend the meeting We are hoping the meeting will be held in Houston Brisbin said~

Commissioners held a lengthy discussion about combining road service equipment and personnel to form a unit system for road maintenance

Commissioners have always maintained the county roads within their own precinct

Commissioner Phil Cordero recommended the unit system and said that the system is a senshysible way to build a better system to maintain the roads

However Commissioner Jack

Brunson disagreed saying The county doesnt have the extra people to do extra jobs It will end up with too little money and too little people

Geographically its too diffishycult because the towns are spread

zzmteampNR have Tfo^ntpve^me equipment down there and then turn around and bring it back to Marfa

Elected officials scheduled a special meeting in Presidio Monshyday tojlLscussThe-possibility and to look at financial figures Howshyever Wednesday^ Brisbin said the meeting has been canceled

Commissioners also discussed the 1993 Texas Department of Housing and Farmers Home Housing Preservation Grants program and future grant money

Its a good program but we dont have anyone here to overshy

see the work that is being done or future work Brisbin said I would recommend that we finish

the seven houses we are working with now and then see if we can de-obligate from the 1994 grant if there is no penalty -Commissioners Brunsoji bullJaime Rodriguez and Juan Jose Muniz agreed Cordero who is in favor of the program voted against the proposal

In other business commissionshyers tabled action on a request to use county funds for a proposed firing range arid obstacle course and action on the HOME proshygram bids

They approved a $500 contrishybution to the Family Crises Censhyter of the Big Bend an interlocal cooperation agreement between Presidio County and Big Bend Regional Hospital District to colshy

lect taxes and a request by Tershyesa Todd to have a street dance in late July between the old Presidio County Jail and the Courthouse However Brisbin told Todd she will have to make the request to City of Marfa ofshyficials

Henley completes narration of documentary Return to Giant9

Native Texan and musician Don Henley has completed narshyration of the documentary Reshyturn To Giant at Sumet Studios in Dallas

Return To Giant is an hour-long documentary on the making of the national movie of Texas and i s slated to air on KERATDTN in September

Return To Giant revisits the location of Giant - Marfa - and looks at the changes that have taken place since an army of cameramen and crew invaded the little town 40 years ago

Return To Giant featuresin-terviews with Dennis Hopper Fran Bennett Bob Hinkle and several Marfans who worked on the film including Clay Evans Reata the Benedicts sprawling ranch house was constructed on the Evans ranch for the film At that time (1955) Clay was a 19-year-old cowboy who befriended a youngactor named James Dean bull The choice of Don Henley as

narrator was an easy one says documentary Producer Kirby F Warnock

Don has had a keen interest in Texas historyand all things Texan says Warnock I like to classify him as the thinking mans rock star He also has a

deep rich voice with a good Texas accent His voice-over work was incredible

University of Texas Professor Dr Don Graham the author of Cowboys amp Cadillacs offers his insights on the importance of Giant in cinema-history and Texas culture Dr Graham is our Shelby Foote adds Warshynock

Giant was a George Stevens production of Edna Ferbers best-selling novel of the same name The film was released in 1956 and starred Elizabeth Tayshylor Rbck Hudson James Dean Dennis Hopper and Fran Benshynett It was one of the first modshyern westerns and had as its hero the oil man instead of the cowshyboy

In commemoration of the films 40th anniversary Warner Brothshyers will re-release Giant to theaters on September 20

Return To Giant will tell the story of the making of this epic picture while providing a look at how Texas has changed since the film was made Return To Gishyant is being co-sponsored by Neiman Marcus

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

ALPINE - A proposal in counshyties with a general white-tail seashyson to allow the take of mule deer for the length of that season on properties with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department approved management plans

This proposal offers increased flexibility to the landowner to manage the take of deer under a set harvest quota

White-tailed deer proposal on a statewide basis is to allow landshyowners who have department apshyproved management plans to allot permits to hunters for the harvest of up to 5 deer (no more than 3 bucks) Statewide allow

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

TDA is assisting Texas ranchshyers in making sales to Mexico by furnishing a hot line (800) 660-COWS for Texas ranchers to list heifers and cows they have for sale

TxDOT says no to 1-27 extension FAR WEST TEXAS - Texas

Department of Transportations decision not to extend Interstate 27 from Lubbock to Interstate 10 may not be bad news for Midland Odessa Transportation Allishyances plan to establish a trade corridor to Mexico according to MOTRAN member Herb Myers of Presidio

TxDOT turned us down on extending the route but they may upgrade the roads for heavier traffic Thats good news for us Myers said

MOTRANs proposed corrishydor known as La Entrada Al Pacifico would have begun where 1-27 ends in Lubbock run through Midland and Odessa to 1-10 east of Fort Stockton

The proposal was one of several that was under consideration

TxDOT Project Manager Peggy Thurin said the consultshyants HDR Engineering detershymined only two of the proposed routes were even marginally feashysible and recommended TxDOT forego any expansion construcshytion but look instead into imshyproving existing routes -Odessa Chamber of Commerce Chairman Drew Crutcher said he was neither surprised nor disapshypointed by the studys recomshymendation

I think thats great news if they are going to improve the corrishydors he said The improvements are a necesshy

sary part of MOTRANs plan to

establish a trade corridor beshytween the Permian Basin and Mexico Crutcher said La Enshytrada al Pacifico would connect the Basin to traders in Chihuahua City Mexico and eventually to the Mexican deep sea port of Topolobampo on the Pacific coast

Although it is unknown at this point if any funding will be availshyable for the improvements Thurin said any upgrades will be prioritized based on the costftenefit ratio

MOTRAN and Big Bend Area Travel Association will continue to work together to promote tourshyism in this area Myers said We will just have to wait and see whats going to happen

against Jeff Davis County man PECOS - Prosecutors called

JudgcrLucius Buttons $18 milshylion judgment last week against a Fort Davis man and his order to expunge records of a lien on the entire state of Texas a victory against paper terrorism

Richard Lance McLaren a Fort Davis paralegal has filed liens throughout the state arguing Texas annexation by the United States in 1845 by joint resolution rather than treaty nullifiesTexas statehood Thus McLaren arshygues the states current governshyment has no authority to own land or levy property taxes

McLaren failed to appear for court having notified the clerk that he does not recognize the federal courts jurisdiction

Attorney Michael T Morgan asked Judge Bunton to also find McLaren in contempt of court for violating a temporary injuncshytion ordering him to stop pursuit of Steward Title Company in any other forum without Judge Bun-tons permission He took that under advisement

Morgan said that McLarens filings in clerks offices throughshyout the state constitute paper tershyrorism and without injunctive relief the pattern of conduct will be repeated in ever-escalating filshyings He has gone from a few thousand dollars to $10 million against Stewart Title to $60 trilshylion against Texas

In using the United States mail

to send a lien document on Steshywart Title to Harris County for filing McLaren violated the RICO statute Morgan said

He asked Judge Bunton to put McLarens pleadings in the trash can where they belong

The action came after McLaren filed a lien against Stewart Title as Class Demandant Chief Ambassador and Consul General

bull of Republic of Texas and Upshyper Limpia Basin Trust aka Upper Limited Basin Common Law Trust and the purported Republic of Texas He had scheduled an auction

sale of the company which prompted Stewart Title to seek the injunction to stop the sale Morgan asked Judge Bunton to extend his preliminary injunction to last weeks witnesses after testimony indicated a patter of retaliation against anyone opposshying McLaren

Lynne Baldwin owner of Jeff Davis County Abstract testified

that McLaren attempted to file a lien on the state of Texasin Jeff Davis County on March 30 but the clerk refused it However is was recorded in Travis County^ she said

McLarens filings began with liens against Jeff Davis County commissioners and they have escalated through the years reshysulting in a loss of real estate sales in the county Baldwin said

A Fort Davis real estate broker

Fran Glaze said that McLarens actions cost her several sales

When-I show property espeshycially in the Davis Mountain Reshysort (where McLaren lives) I disclose to them there are lawshysuits pending In the past McLaren has approached my customers after I showed them property and said the title to the land wasnt clear He said the surveys werent good and the state of Texas owned the propshyerty Glaze said

McLaren claimed that there was unpatented school land within the boundariesof the Davis Mountain Resort she said

He said the surveys were off and everything in the county shifted eastward she said

The filings against Stewart Title would cause her to seek another insurance underwriter to guaranshytee the title she said John C Martin vice president

of Stewart Title Guaranty Co estimated his company lost one percent of their $45 million in business during 1995 because of McLarens filings

Representing residents of Davis Mountain Resort McLaren claimed they suffered financial loss due to bad title or surveys environmental degradation inshycluding bad roads and costs of litigation He placed the value at $10 million in silver lawful

money of the United States or 10 million pieces of silver coin conshytaining 37125 grains (troy) of fine silver

To satisfy thelien McLaren planned to sell all bonds furnishyture automobiles lands real esshytate cash investmentst title plants electronic data equipshyment income and land or buildshyings in Galveston and Houston that belong to Stewart Title on Feb 13

Martin testified that publicity about McLarens filings have damaged his companys reputashytion because people do not have full knowledge of the facts of the case

bull John Hemphill a San Angelo attorney testified he was a vicshytim of McLarens claims when he represented a landowner whose ranch adjoins Davis Mountain Resort

McLaren filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas Hemphill said he knew of grievances McLaren filed against surveyors involved in the case and against other attorneys

Anything inconsistent with his point of view he seems to try to eliminate the opinion by filing grievances he said

In addition to damages Judge Bunton awarded expenses and atshytorney fees of $28500 to the plaintiff

Judge Brisbin to meet with county jail finance officials PRESIDIO COUNTY - A

meeting with Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin Jr certifishycate of participation holders who financed the Presidio County Jail and Texas Comshymerce Bank officials has tentashytively been scheduled fpr May tovcantinue WiscuinfliintjrjB the jaiis financiafsituatioh

Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin told County Commisshysioners at their regular monthly meeting Monday that he reshyceived a letter from the Texas Commerce Bank in Houston asking that a meeting be held in New York City or Houston The county is in default after

not making the $236177 Janu- ary 1 payment on the 96-bed fashycility that was build in 1994

Ive talked to our attorney and we will attend the meeting We are hoping the meeting will be held in Houston Brisbin said~

Commissioners held a lengthy discussion about combining road service equipment and personnel to form a unit system for road maintenance

Commissioners have always maintained the county roads within their own precinct

Commissioner Phil Cordero recommended the unit system and said that the system is a senshysible way to build a better system to maintain the roads

However Commissioner Jack

Brunson disagreed saying The county doesnt have the extra people to do extra jobs It will end up with too little money and too little people

Geographically its too diffishycult because the towns are spread

zzmteampNR have Tfo^ntpve^me equipment down there and then turn around and bring it back to Marfa

Elected officials scheduled a special meeting in Presidio Monshyday tojlLscussThe-possibility and to look at financial figures Howshyever Wednesday^ Brisbin said the meeting has been canceled

Commissioners also discussed the 1993 Texas Department of Housing and Farmers Home Housing Preservation Grants program and future grant money

Its a good program but we dont have anyone here to overshy

see the work that is being done or future work Brisbin said I would recommend that we finish

the seven houses we are working with now and then see if we can de-obligate from the 1994 grant if there is no penalty -Commissioners Brunsoji bullJaime Rodriguez and Juan Jose Muniz agreed Cordero who is in favor of the program voted against the proposal

In other business commissionshyers tabled action on a request to use county funds for a proposed firing range arid obstacle course and action on the HOME proshygram bids

They approved a $500 contrishybution to the Family Crises Censhyter of the Big Bend an interlocal cooperation agreement between Presidio County and Big Bend Regional Hospital District to colshy

lect taxes and a request by Tershyesa Todd to have a street dance in late July between the old Presidio County Jail and the Courthouse However Brisbin told Todd she will have to make the request to City of Marfa ofshyficials

Henley completes narration of documentary Return to Giant9

Native Texan and musician Don Henley has completed narshyration of the documentary Reshyturn To Giant at Sumet Studios in Dallas

Return To Giant is an hour-long documentary on the making of the national movie of Texas and i s slated to air on KERATDTN in September

Return To Giant revisits the location of Giant - Marfa - and looks at the changes that have taken place since an army of cameramen and crew invaded the little town 40 years ago

Return To Giant featuresin-terviews with Dennis Hopper Fran Bennett Bob Hinkle and several Marfans who worked on the film including Clay Evans Reata the Benedicts sprawling ranch house was constructed on the Evans ranch for the film At that time (1955) Clay was a 19-year-old cowboy who befriended a youngactor named James Dean bull The choice of Don Henley as

narrator was an easy one says documentary Producer Kirby F Warnock

Don has had a keen interest in Texas historyand all things Texan says Warnock I like to classify him as the thinking mans rock star He also has a

deep rich voice with a good Texas accent His voice-over work was incredible

University of Texas Professor Dr Don Graham the author of Cowboys amp Cadillacs offers his insights on the importance of Giant in cinema-history and Texas culture Dr Graham is our Shelby Foote adds Warshynock

Giant was a George Stevens production of Edna Ferbers best-selling novel of the same name The film was released in 1956 and starred Elizabeth Tayshylor Rbck Hudson James Dean Dennis Hopper and Fran Benshynett It was one of the first modshyern westerns and had as its hero the oil man instead of the cowshyboy

In commemoration of the films 40th anniversary Warner Brothshyers will re-release Giant to theaters on September 20

Return To Giant will tell the story of the making of this epic picture while providing a look at how Texas has changed since the film was made Return To Gishyant is being co-sponsored by Neiman Marcus

For more information on Reshyturn To Giant call TransPecos Productions at (214) 942-4905

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

TDA is assisting Texas ranchshyers in making sales to Mexico by furnishing a hot line (800) 660-COWS for Texas ranchers to list heifers and cows they have for sale

TxDOT says no to 1-27 extension FAR WEST TEXAS - Texas

Department of Transportations decision not to extend Interstate 27 from Lubbock to Interstate 10 may not be bad news for Midland Odessa Transportation Allishyances plan to establish a trade corridor to Mexico according to MOTRAN member Herb Myers of Presidio

TxDOT turned us down on extending the route but they may upgrade the roads for heavier traffic Thats good news for us Myers said

MOTRANs proposed corrishydor known as La Entrada Al Pacifico would have begun where 1-27 ends in Lubbock run through Midland and Odessa to 1-10 east of Fort Stockton

The proposal was one of several that was under consideration

TxDOT Project Manager Peggy Thurin said the consultshyants HDR Engineering detershymined only two of the proposed routes were even marginally feashysible and recommended TxDOT forego any expansion construcshytion but look instead into imshyproving existing routes -Odessa Chamber of Commerce Chairman Drew Crutcher said he was neither surprised nor disapshypointed by the studys recomshymendation

I think thats great news if they are going to improve the corrishydors he said The improvements are a necesshy

sary part of MOTRANs plan to

establish a trade corridor beshytween the Permian Basin and Mexico Crutcher said La Enshytrada al Pacifico would connect the Basin to traders in Chihuahua City Mexico and eventually to the Mexican deep sea port of Topolobampo on the Pacific coast

Although it is unknown at this point if any funding will be availshyable for the improvements Thurin said any upgrades will be prioritized based on the costftenefit ratio

MOTRAN and Big Bend Area Travel Association will continue to work together to promote tourshyism in this area Myers said We will just have to wait and see whats going to happen

against Jeff Davis County man PECOS - Prosecutors called

JudgcrLucius Buttons $18 milshylion judgment last week against a Fort Davis man and his order to expunge records of a lien on the entire state of Texas a victory against paper terrorism

Richard Lance McLaren a Fort Davis paralegal has filed liens throughout the state arguing Texas annexation by the United States in 1845 by joint resolution rather than treaty nullifiesTexas statehood Thus McLaren arshygues the states current governshyment has no authority to own land or levy property taxes

McLaren failed to appear for court having notified the clerk that he does not recognize the federal courts jurisdiction

Attorney Michael T Morgan asked Judge Bunton to also find McLaren in contempt of court for violating a temporary injuncshytion ordering him to stop pursuit of Steward Title Company in any other forum without Judge Bun-tons permission He took that under advisement

Morgan said that McLarens filings in clerks offices throughshyout the state constitute paper tershyrorism and without injunctive relief the pattern of conduct will be repeated in ever-escalating filshyings He has gone from a few thousand dollars to $10 million against Stewart Title to $60 trilshylion against Texas

In using the United States mail

to send a lien document on Steshywart Title to Harris County for filing McLaren violated the RICO statute Morgan said

He asked Judge Bunton to put McLarens pleadings in the trash can where they belong

The action came after McLaren filed a lien against Stewart Title as Class Demandant Chief Ambassador and Consul General

bull of Republic of Texas and Upshyper Limpia Basin Trust aka Upper Limited Basin Common Law Trust and the purported Republic of Texas He had scheduled an auction

sale of the company which prompted Stewart Title to seek the injunction to stop the sale Morgan asked Judge Bunton to extend his preliminary injunction to last weeks witnesses after testimony indicated a patter of retaliation against anyone opposshying McLaren

Lynne Baldwin owner of Jeff Davis County Abstract testified

that McLaren attempted to file a lien on the state of Texasin Jeff Davis County on March 30 but the clerk refused it However is was recorded in Travis County^ she said

McLarens filings began with liens against Jeff Davis County commissioners and they have escalated through the years reshysulting in a loss of real estate sales in the county Baldwin said

A Fort Davis real estate broker

Fran Glaze said that McLarens actions cost her several sales

When-I show property espeshycially in the Davis Mountain Reshysort (where McLaren lives) I disclose to them there are lawshysuits pending In the past McLaren has approached my customers after I showed them property and said the title to the land wasnt clear He said the surveys werent good and the state of Texas owned the propshyerty Glaze said

McLaren claimed that there was unpatented school land within the boundariesof the Davis Mountain Resort she said

He said the surveys were off and everything in the county shifted eastward she said

The filings against Stewart Title would cause her to seek another insurance underwriter to guaranshytee the title she said John C Martin vice president

of Stewart Title Guaranty Co estimated his company lost one percent of their $45 million in business during 1995 because of McLarens filings

Representing residents of Davis Mountain Resort McLaren claimed they suffered financial loss due to bad title or surveys environmental degradation inshycluding bad roads and costs of litigation He placed the value at $10 million in silver lawful

money of the United States or 10 million pieces of silver coin conshytaining 37125 grains (troy) of fine silver

To satisfy thelien McLaren planned to sell all bonds furnishyture automobiles lands real esshytate cash investmentst title plants electronic data equipshyment income and land or buildshyings in Galveston and Houston that belong to Stewart Title on Feb 13

Martin testified that publicity about McLarens filings have damaged his companys reputashytion because people do not have full knowledge of the facts of the case

bull John Hemphill a San Angelo attorney testified he was a vicshytim of McLarens claims when he represented a landowner whose ranch adjoins Davis Mountain Resort

McLaren filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas Hemphill said he knew of grievances McLaren filed against surveyors involved in the case and against other attorneys

Anything inconsistent with his point of view he seems to try to eliminate the opinion by filing grievances he said

In addition to damages Judge Bunton awarded expenses and atshytorney fees of $28500 to the plaintiff

Judge Brisbin to meet with county jail finance officials PRESIDIO COUNTY - A

meeting with Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin Jr certifishycate of participation holders who financed the Presidio County Jail and Texas Comshymerce Bank officials has tentashytively been scheduled fpr May tovcantinue WiscuinfliintjrjB the jaiis financiafsituatioh

Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin told County Commisshysioners at their regular monthly meeting Monday that he reshyceived a letter from the Texas Commerce Bank in Houston asking that a meeting be held in New York City or Houston The county is in default after

not making the $236177 Janu- ary 1 payment on the 96-bed fashycility that was build in 1994

Ive talked to our attorney and we will attend the meeting We are hoping the meeting will be held in Houston Brisbin said~

Commissioners held a lengthy discussion about combining road service equipment and personnel to form a unit system for road maintenance

Commissioners have always maintained the county roads within their own precinct

Commissioner Phil Cordero recommended the unit system and said that the system is a senshysible way to build a better system to maintain the roads

However Commissioner Jack

Brunson disagreed saying The county doesnt have the extra people to do extra jobs It will end up with too little money and too little people

Geographically its too diffishycult because the towns are spread

zzmteampNR have Tfo^ntpve^me equipment down there and then turn around and bring it back to Marfa

Elected officials scheduled a special meeting in Presidio Monshyday tojlLscussThe-possibility and to look at financial figures Howshyever Wednesday^ Brisbin said the meeting has been canceled

Commissioners also discussed the 1993 Texas Department of Housing and Farmers Home Housing Preservation Grants program and future grant money

Its a good program but we dont have anyone here to overshy

see the work that is being done or future work Brisbin said I would recommend that we finish

the seven houses we are working with now and then see if we can de-obligate from the 1994 grant if there is no penalty -Commissioners Brunsoji bullJaime Rodriguez and Juan Jose Muniz agreed Cordero who is in favor of the program voted against the proposal

In other business commissionshyers tabled action on a request to use county funds for a proposed firing range arid obstacle course and action on the HOME proshygram bids

They approved a $500 contrishybution to the Family Crises Censhyter of the Big Bend an interlocal cooperation agreement between Presidio County and Big Bend Regional Hospital District to colshy

lect taxes and a request by Tershyesa Todd to have a street dance in late July between the old Presidio County Jail and the Courthouse However Brisbin told Todd she will have to make the request to City of Marfa ofshyficials

Return To Giant is an hour-long documentary on the making of the national movie of Texas and i s slated to air on KERATDTN in September

Return To Giant revisits the location of Giant - Marfa - and looks at the changes that have taken place since an army of cameramen and crew invaded the little town 40 years ago

Return To Giant featuresin-terviews with Dennis Hopper Fran Bennett Bob Hinkle and several Marfans who worked on the film including Clay Evans Reata the Benedicts sprawling ranch house was constructed on the Evans ranch for the film At that time (1955) Clay was a 19-year-old cowboy who befriended a youngactor named James Dean bull The choice of Don Henley as

narrator was an easy one says documentary Producer Kirby F Warnock

Don has had a keen interest in Texas historyand all things Texan says Warnock I like to classify him as the thinking mans rock star He also has a

deep rich voice with a good Texas accent His voice-over work was incredible

University of Texas Professor Dr Don Graham the author of Cowboys amp Cadillacs offers his insights on the importance of Giant in cinema-history and Texas culture Dr Graham is our Shelby Foote adds Warshynock

Giant was a George Stevens production of Edna Ferbers best-selling novel of the same name The film was released in 1956 and starred Elizabeth Tayshylor Rbck Hudson James Dean Dennis Hopper and Fran Benshynett It was one of the first modshyern westerns and had as its hero the oil man instead of the cowshyboy

In commemoration of the films 40th anniversary Warner Brothshyers will re-release Giant to theaters on September 20

Return To Giant will tell the story of the making of this epic picture while providing a look at how Texas has changed since the film was made Return To Gishyant is being co-sponsored by Neiman Marcus

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

This proposal offers increased flexibility to the landowner to manage the take of deer under a set harvest quota

White-tailed deer proposal on a statewide basis is to allow landshyowners who have department apshyproved management plans to allot permits to hunters for the harvest of up to 5 deer (no more than 3 bucks) Statewide allow

the take of white-tails for 88 days (ie from the opening day of the north Texas season to the last day of the late anUerless season) on properties under TPWD-ap-proved management plans

Both of these proposals offer increased flexibility to die landshyowner to manage the take of deer under a set harvest quota

A public hearing on these new regulations and other new regushylations throughout the state will be held in Brewster County at the Alpine County Courthouse County Courtroom 201 W Ave E on April 18 1996 at 7 pm

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

TDA is assisting Texas ranchshyers in making sales to Mexico by furnishing a hot line (800) 660-COWS for Texas ranchers to list heifers and cows they have for sale

TxDOT says no to 1-27 extension FAR WEST TEXAS - Texas

Department of Transportations decision not to extend Interstate 27 from Lubbock to Interstate 10 may not be bad news for Midland Odessa Transportation Allishyances plan to establish a trade corridor to Mexico according to MOTRAN member Herb Myers of Presidio

TxDOT turned us down on extending the route but they may upgrade the roads for heavier traffic Thats good news for us Myers said

MOTRANs proposed corrishydor known as La Entrada Al Pacifico would have begun where 1-27 ends in Lubbock run through Midland and Odessa to 1-10 east of Fort Stockton

The proposal was one of several that was under consideration

TxDOT Project Manager Peggy Thurin said the consultshyants HDR Engineering detershymined only two of the proposed routes were even marginally feashysible and recommended TxDOT forego any expansion construcshytion but look instead into imshyproving existing routes -Odessa Chamber of Commerce Chairman Drew Crutcher said he was neither surprised nor disapshypointed by the studys recomshymendation

I think thats great news if they are going to improve the corrishydors he said The improvements are a necesshy

sary part of MOTRANs plan to

establish a trade corridor beshytween the Permian Basin and Mexico Crutcher said La Enshytrada al Pacifico would connect the Basin to traders in Chihuahua City Mexico and eventually to the Mexican deep sea port of Topolobampo on the Pacific coast

Although it is unknown at this point if any funding will be availshyable for the improvements Thurin said any upgrades will be prioritized based on the costftenefit ratio

MOTRAN and Big Bend Area Travel Association will continue to work together to promote tourshyism in this area Myers said We will just have to wait and see whats going to happen

against Jeff Davis County man PECOS - Prosecutors called

JudgcrLucius Buttons $18 milshylion judgment last week against a Fort Davis man and his order to expunge records of a lien on the entire state of Texas a victory against paper terrorism

Richard Lance McLaren a Fort Davis paralegal has filed liens throughout the state arguing Texas annexation by the United States in 1845 by joint resolution rather than treaty nullifiesTexas statehood Thus McLaren arshygues the states current governshyment has no authority to own land or levy property taxes

McLaren failed to appear for court having notified the clerk that he does not recognize the federal courts jurisdiction

Attorney Michael T Morgan asked Judge Bunton to also find McLaren in contempt of court for violating a temporary injuncshytion ordering him to stop pursuit of Steward Title Company in any other forum without Judge Bun-tons permission He took that under advisement

Morgan said that McLarens filings in clerks offices throughshyout the state constitute paper tershyrorism and without injunctive relief the pattern of conduct will be repeated in ever-escalating filshyings He has gone from a few thousand dollars to $10 million against Stewart Title to $60 trilshylion against Texas

In using the United States mail

to send a lien document on Steshywart Title to Harris County for filing McLaren violated the RICO statute Morgan said

He asked Judge Bunton to put McLarens pleadings in the trash can where they belong

The action came after McLaren filed a lien against Stewart Title as Class Demandant Chief Ambassador and Consul General

bull of Republic of Texas and Upshyper Limpia Basin Trust aka Upper Limited Basin Common Law Trust and the purported Republic of Texas He had scheduled an auction

sale of the company which prompted Stewart Title to seek the injunction to stop the sale Morgan asked Judge Bunton to extend his preliminary injunction to last weeks witnesses after testimony indicated a patter of retaliation against anyone opposshying McLaren

Lynne Baldwin owner of Jeff Davis County Abstract testified

that McLaren attempted to file a lien on the state of Texasin Jeff Davis County on March 30 but the clerk refused it However is was recorded in Travis County^ she said

McLarens filings began with liens against Jeff Davis County commissioners and they have escalated through the years reshysulting in a loss of real estate sales in the county Baldwin said

A Fort Davis real estate broker

Fran Glaze said that McLarens actions cost her several sales

When-I show property espeshycially in the Davis Mountain Reshysort (where McLaren lives) I disclose to them there are lawshysuits pending In the past McLaren has approached my customers after I showed them property and said the title to the land wasnt clear He said the surveys werent good and the state of Texas owned the propshyerty Glaze said

McLaren claimed that there was unpatented school land within the boundariesof the Davis Mountain Resort she said

He said the surveys were off and everything in the county shifted eastward she said

The filings against Stewart Title would cause her to seek another insurance underwriter to guaranshytee the title she said John C Martin vice president

of Stewart Title Guaranty Co estimated his company lost one percent of their $45 million in business during 1995 because of McLarens filings

Representing residents of Davis Mountain Resort McLaren claimed they suffered financial loss due to bad title or surveys environmental degradation inshycluding bad roads and costs of litigation He placed the value at $10 million in silver lawful

money of the United States or 10 million pieces of silver coin conshytaining 37125 grains (troy) of fine silver

To satisfy thelien McLaren planned to sell all bonds furnishyture automobiles lands real esshytate cash investmentst title plants electronic data equipshyment income and land or buildshyings in Galveston and Houston that belong to Stewart Title on Feb 13

Martin testified that publicity about McLarens filings have damaged his companys reputashytion because people do not have full knowledge of the facts of the case

bull John Hemphill a San Angelo attorney testified he was a vicshytim of McLarens claims when he represented a landowner whose ranch adjoins Davis Mountain Resort

McLaren filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas Hemphill said he knew of grievances McLaren filed against surveyors involved in the case and against other attorneys

Anything inconsistent with his point of view he seems to try to eliminate the opinion by filing grievances he said

In addition to damages Judge Bunton awarded expenses and atshytorney fees of $28500 to the plaintiff

Judge Brisbin to meet with county jail finance officials PRESIDIO COUNTY - A

meeting with Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin Jr certifishycate of participation holders who financed the Presidio County Jail and Texas Comshymerce Bank officials has tentashytively been scheduled fpr May tovcantinue WiscuinfliintjrjB the jaiis financiafsituatioh

Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin told County Commisshysioners at their regular monthly meeting Monday that he reshyceived a letter from the Texas Commerce Bank in Houston asking that a meeting be held in New York City or Houston The county is in default after

not making the $236177 Janu- ary 1 payment on the 96-bed fashycility that was build in 1994

Ive talked to our attorney and we will attend the meeting We are hoping the meeting will be held in Houston Brisbin said~

Commissioners held a lengthy discussion about combining road service equipment and personnel to form a unit system for road maintenance

Commissioners have always maintained the county roads within their own precinct

Commissioner Phil Cordero recommended the unit system and said that the system is a senshysible way to build a better system to maintain the roads

However Commissioner Jack

Brunson disagreed saying The county doesnt have the extra people to do extra jobs It will end up with too little money and too little people

Geographically its too diffishycult because the towns are spread

zzmteampNR have Tfo^ntpve^me equipment down there and then turn around and bring it back to Marfa

Elected officials scheduled a special meeting in Presidio Monshyday tojlLscussThe-possibility and to look at financial figures Howshyever Wednesday^ Brisbin said the meeting has been canceled

Commissioners also discussed the 1993 Texas Department of Housing and Farmers Home Housing Preservation Grants program and future grant money

Its a good program but we dont have anyone here to overshy

see the work that is being done or future work Brisbin said I would recommend that we finish

the seven houses we are working with now and then see if we can de-obligate from the 1994 grant if there is no penalty -Commissioners Brunsoji bullJaime Rodriguez and Juan Jose Muniz agreed Cordero who is in favor of the program voted against the proposal

In other business commissionshyers tabled action on a request to use county funds for a proposed firing range arid obstacle course and action on the HOME proshygram bids

They approved a $500 contrishybution to the Family Crises Censhyter of the Big Bend an interlocal cooperation agreement between Presidio County and Big Bend Regional Hospital District to colshy

lect taxes and a request by Tershyesa Todd to have a street dance in late July between the old Presidio County Jail and the Courthouse However Brisbin told Todd she will have to make the request to City of Marfa ofshyficials

Henley completes narration of documentary Return to Giant9

Native Texan and musician Don Henley has completed narshyration of the documentary Reshyturn To Giant at Sumet Studios in Dallas

Return To Giant is an hour-long documentary on the making of the national movie of Texas and i s slated to air on KERATDTN in September

Return To Giant revisits the location of Giant - Marfa - and looks at the changes that have taken place since an army of cameramen and crew invaded the little town 40 years ago

Return To Giant featuresin-terviews with Dennis Hopper Fran Bennett Bob Hinkle and several Marfans who worked on the film including Clay Evans Reata the Benedicts sprawling ranch house was constructed on the Evans ranch for the film At that time (1955) Clay was a 19-year-old cowboy who befriended a youngactor named James Dean bull The choice of Don Henley as

narrator was an easy one says documentary Producer Kirby F Warnock

Don has had a keen interest in Texas historyand all things Texan says Warnock I like to classify him as the thinking mans rock star He also has a

deep rich voice with a good Texas accent His voice-over work was incredible

University of Texas Professor Dr Don Graham the author of Cowboys amp Cadillacs offers his insights on the importance of Giant in cinema-history and Texas culture Dr Graham is our Shelby Foote adds Warshynock

Giant was a George Stevens production of Edna Ferbers best-selling novel of the same name The film was released in 1956 and starred Elizabeth Tayshylor Rbck Hudson James Dean Dennis Hopper and Fran Benshynett It was one of the first modshyern westerns and had as its hero the oil man instead of the cowshyboy

In commemoration of the films 40th anniversary Warner Brothshyers will re-release Giant to theaters on September 20

Return To Giant will tell the story of the making of this epic picture while providing a look at how Texas has changed since the film was made Return To Gishyant is being co-sponsored by Neiman Marcus

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

against Jeff Davis County man PECOS - Prosecutors called

JudgcrLucius Buttons $18 milshylion judgment last week against a Fort Davis man and his order to expunge records of a lien on the entire state of Texas a victory against paper terrorism

Richard Lance McLaren a Fort Davis paralegal has filed liens throughout the state arguing Texas annexation by the United States in 1845 by joint resolution rather than treaty nullifiesTexas statehood Thus McLaren arshygues the states current governshyment has no authority to own land or levy property taxes

McLaren failed to appear for court having notified the clerk that he does not recognize the federal courts jurisdiction

Attorney Michael T Morgan asked Judge Bunton to also find McLaren in contempt of court for violating a temporary injuncshytion ordering him to stop pursuit of Steward Title Company in any other forum without Judge Bun-tons permission He took that under advisement

Morgan said that McLarens filings in clerks offices throughshyout the state constitute paper tershyrorism and without injunctive relief the pattern of conduct will be repeated in ever-escalating filshyings He has gone from a few thousand dollars to $10 million against Stewart Title to $60 trilshylion against Texas

In using the United States mail

to send a lien document on Steshywart Title to Harris County for filing McLaren violated the RICO statute Morgan said

He asked Judge Bunton to put McLarens pleadings in the trash can where they belong

The action came after McLaren filed a lien against Stewart Title as Class Demandant Chief Ambassador and Consul General

bull of Republic of Texas and Upshyper Limpia Basin Trust aka Upper Limited Basin Common Law Trust and the purported Republic of Texas He had scheduled an auction

sale of the company which prompted Stewart Title to seek the injunction to stop the sale Morgan asked Judge Bunton to extend his preliminary injunction to last weeks witnesses after testimony indicated a patter of retaliation against anyone opposshying McLaren

Lynne Baldwin owner of Jeff Davis County Abstract testified

that McLaren attempted to file a lien on the state of Texasin Jeff Davis County on March 30 but the clerk refused it However is was recorded in Travis County^ she said

McLarens filings began with liens against Jeff Davis County commissioners and they have escalated through the years reshysulting in a loss of real estate sales in the county Baldwin said

A Fort Davis real estate broker

Fran Glaze said that McLarens actions cost her several sales

When-I show property espeshycially in the Davis Mountain Reshysort (where McLaren lives) I disclose to them there are lawshysuits pending In the past McLaren has approached my customers after I showed them property and said the title to the land wasnt clear He said the surveys werent good and the state of Texas owned the propshyerty Glaze said

McLaren claimed that there was unpatented school land within the boundariesof the Davis Mountain Resort she said

He said the surveys were off and everything in the county shifted eastward she said

The filings against Stewart Title would cause her to seek another insurance underwriter to guaranshytee the title she said John C Martin vice president

of Stewart Title Guaranty Co estimated his company lost one percent of their $45 million in business during 1995 because of McLarens filings

Representing residents of Davis Mountain Resort McLaren claimed they suffered financial loss due to bad title or surveys environmental degradation inshycluding bad roads and costs of litigation He placed the value at $10 million in silver lawful

money of the United States or 10 million pieces of silver coin conshytaining 37125 grains (troy) of fine silver

To satisfy thelien McLaren planned to sell all bonds furnishyture automobiles lands real esshytate cash investmentst title plants electronic data equipshyment income and land or buildshyings in Galveston and Houston that belong to Stewart Title on Feb 13

Martin testified that publicity about McLarens filings have damaged his companys reputashytion because people do not have full knowledge of the facts of the case

bull John Hemphill a San Angelo attorney testified he was a vicshytim of McLarens claims when he represented a landowner whose ranch adjoins Davis Mountain Resort

McLaren filed a grievance with the State Bar of Texas Hemphill said he knew of grievances McLaren filed against surveyors involved in the case and against other attorneys

Anything inconsistent with his point of view he seems to try to eliminate the opinion by filing grievances he said

In addition to damages Judge Bunton awarded expenses and atshytorney fees of $28500 to the plaintiff

Judge Brisbin to meet with county jail finance officials PRESIDIO COUNTY - A

meeting with Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin Jr certifishycate of participation holders who financed the Presidio County Jail and Texas Comshymerce Bank officials has tentashytively been scheduled fpr May tovcantinue WiscuinfliintjrjB the jaiis financiafsituatioh

Presidio County Judge Jake Brisbin told County Commisshysioners at their regular monthly meeting Monday that he reshyceived a letter from the Texas Commerce Bank in Houston asking that a meeting be held in New York City or Houston The county is in default after

not making the $236177 Janu- ary 1 payment on the 96-bed fashycility that was build in 1994

Ive talked to our attorney and we will attend the meeting We are hoping the meeting will be held in Houston Brisbin said~

Commissioners held a lengthy discussion about combining road service equipment and personnel to form a unit system for road maintenance

Commissioners have always maintained the county roads within their own precinct

Commissioner Phil Cordero recommended the unit system and said that the system is a senshysible way to build a better system to maintain the roads

However Commissioner Jack

Brunson disagreed saying The county doesnt have the extra people to do extra jobs It will end up with too little money and too little people

Geographically its too diffishycult because the towns are spread

zzmteampNR have Tfo^ntpve^me equipment down there and then turn around and bring it back to Marfa

Elected officials scheduled a special meeting in Presidio Monshyday tojlLscussThe-possibility and to look at financial figures Howshyever Wednesday^ Brisbin said the meeting has been canceled

Commissioners also discussed the 1993 Texas Department of Housing and Farmers Home Housing Preservation Grants program and future grant money

Its a good program but we dont have anyone here to overshy

see the work that is being done or future work Brisbin said I would recommend that we finish

the seven houses we are working with now and then see if we can de-obligate from the 1994 grant if there is no penalty -Commissioners Brunsoji bullJaime Rodriguez and Juan Jose Muniz agreed Cordero who is in favor of the program voted against the proposal

In other business commissionshyers tabled action on a request to use county funds for a proposed firing range arid obstacle course and action on the HOME proshygram bids

They approved a $500 contrishybution to the Family Crises Censhyter of the Big Bend an interlocal cooperation agreement between Presidio County and Big Bend Regional Hospital District to colshy

lect taxes and a request by Tershyesa Todd to have a street dance in late July between the old Presidio County Jail and the Courthouse However Brisbin told Todd she will have to make the request to City of Marfa ofshyficials

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

If Mexican ranchers buy Texas heifers to restock their depleted herds fed cattle prices in Texas could increase over $22 per head according to a report by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas AampM University Department of Agrishycultural Economics The report was requested by the

Texas Department of Agriculshyture in January after the US Department of Agriculture authorized $125 million in exshyport credit guarantees for Mexishycan ranchers to purchase US replacement heifers and cows to restock their herds depleted beshycause of the severe drought in Mexico during 1994 and 1995 The study assumed that with the

loan assisted program Texas ranchers could export 350000 replacement heifers per year for the next three years The study estimated the inshy

crease in the price of the remainshying Texas feeder steers and heifers after the removal of 350000 heifers from the Texas markets It also estimated the price change in fed cattle prices and the income impact from the sale of the heifers

In the study it was assumed that the average price for the replacement heifers sold to Mexshyico would be $500 per head and that the heifers would have been sold as feeder heifers if they had not been sold to Mexico

The report says the sale of 350000 heifers in 1996 would increase the price of the remainshying heifers by $1 per hundredshyweight or about $490 per head The impact on steer prices would be about $111 per hundredshyweight or about $555 per head and the impact on fed cattle prices would be about $194 per hundredweight or about $2255 million

According to the report the toshytal impact on the Texas economy from the revenue from the sales and the increased price effect taking into account the additional business generated for each dolshylar of cattle sales would be $82255 million

indent Cattlemens Association of Texas meeting Monday in Alpine By TOM BEARD state director Iatoplaquonlaquo CattlemenJ Association of Texas

ALPINE - The first area meetshying of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas is scheduled for 3 pm Monday April 15 in the Rio Grande Room of the Holland Hotel in Alpine

Today in 1996 ranchers and landowners in the Big Bend are facing double disaster A drouth as bad as our fathers and grandshyfathers can remember and a marshyket wreck that is the worst in twenty-two years - if youre just talking prices - and the worst in forty years if youre talking real dollars buying power and relashytive value Its a time to cut back and cut deep and all of us are doing that But its also a time to look for help because we cant cope with all the problems facing us by ourselves

Thats why Id like to invite you to the first meeting in the Big Bend of the Independent Cattleshymens Association of Texas They can help and they do help They help us as ranchers trying to cope with drouth and market cycles although they cant do much to stop the drouth or prop up the market what they can do is keep the politicians and bu- reaucrats off our backs while were praying for rain and waitshying for the rebuilding and liquishydation cycles to run their course They can help the business clishymate for landowners and ranchshyers

Basically thats what ICA is all about A hard working associashytion working hard for hard workshying ranchers In todays environment that means polishytics If I had to describe what they do in one word that would be it Its not a word that any of us like and although a lot of the

other organizations we belong to are involved in politics ICA only exists because of politics and the threat that politicians and bureaucrats pose to our way of life and our livelihood Politics Its a dirty word and a dirty busishyness but somebodys got to do that dirty work for us or we wont be to work in the pens or

~tbe pasture because we wont be in business Politicians think our work is dirty they would never dream of breathing dust or burnshying hair they wouldnt dare ride a spooky horse or chase a wild yearling But ICA understands what we do and it understands politicians It understands us beshycause itss made up of people like us it understands politicians beshycause it has to - we have to ICA can help bridge the gap between what we want to do and what we have to do

All of us belong to a bunch of organizations All the organizashytions are trying to help us in some way or another Why then join one more There are a lot of reasons and if youll come to the meeting on the 15th well talk about most of them Politics isnt all that ICA does not by any means but I think its the most important I think you11 see that ICA talks your language and un-

derstands your problems and frustrations Jim Selman Presishydent of ICA and Charles Cater Executive Director will both be at this meeting Ill be there too and maybe the three of us can answer your questions and conshyvince you there is hope We just have to hang in there and hang together Or as has been said well all hang separately

See you in Alpine on the 15th If you cant make it give me a call so we can talk about ICA My number at the ranch is 364-2244 Look forward to seeing you and talking to you

School freshmen trio of Chris Baker Ernie Villarreal and Ariel Juarez leading the way the Marfa Shoiihorns Purple golf team won the District 4-A team title

This ii the first district title the Horns have captured since they dropped from 2A to 1A two years ago

This was a pleasant surprise consider our youth MHS Coach Jay Foster said I figured we would finish third behind the defending district champions Fort-Davis and runner-up Sanshyderson The tournament experishyence we gained throughout the season paid off for us

The win qualified the team for regional competition to be held in Levelland April 23-25 The girls team also qualified for reshygional with a second place win in the two-day tournament The Will compete at Sundown

The teams competed in Fort Stockton on April 3 and in Marfa on April 8

The boys Purple team scored 714 to take the top spot in a Field

of six teams Fort Davis was second with 750 Rankin third with 764 and Marfa White fourth with 820

SRSU gets Horned Lizard grant ALPINE - The Sul Ross State

University Biology Department received a $ 1000 grant from the Horned Lizard Conservation Soshyciety in Austin to study the fashymous Texas horny toad

The project to be directed by Dr Jim Richerson biology proshyfessor along with graduate stushydent Kendall Craig will determine the ectoparasites and endoparasites such as mites nematodes and tapeworms found in the Texas and roundtail homed lizards

The project will determine the extent of parasite infection in the lizards in our area Richerson said We hope to determine if parasitic infections are an imporshytant factor in the declining horned lizard populations

The two biologists will not be scouring the countryside for horny toads to dissect Instead the study will be done on preshyserved horned lizards already in the universitys vertebrate colshylection Richerson said

School freshmen trio of Chris Baker Ernie Villarreal and Ariel Juarez leading the way the Marfa Shoiihorns Purple golf team won the District 4-A team title

This ii the first district title the Horns have captured since they dropped from 2A to 1A two years ago

This was a pleasant surprise consider our youth MHS Coach Jay Foster said I figured we would finish third behind the defending district champions Fort-Davis and runner-up Sanshyderson The tournament experishyence we gained throughout the season paid off for us

The win qualified the team for regional competition to be held in Levelland April 23-25 The girls team also qualified for reshygional with a second place win in the two-day tournament The Will compete at Sundown

The teams competed in Fort Stockton on April 3 and in Marfa on April 8

The boys Purple team scored 714 to take the top spot in a Field

of six teams Fort Davis was second with 750 Rankin third with 764 and Marfa White fourth with 820

The girls Purple team scored 850 behind Sanderson who had a team total of 838 Rankin finshyished third with 938 The Marfa White team finished in fifth place with 1084

We only played with four girls as Christina Aguilar was sick and this really hurt us Foster said The girls felt as they had to pick up the slack with her absence and they tried too hard instead of relaxing

This is the girls second conshysecutive year to finish in the runshyner-up spot behind Sanderson

SRSU gets Horned Lizard grant ALPINE - The Sul Ross State

University Biology Department received a $ 1000 grant from the Horned Lizard Conservation Soshyciety in Austin to study the fashymous Texas horny toad

The project to be directed by Dr Jim Richerson biology proshyfessor along with graduate stushydent Kendall Craig will determine the ectoparasites and endoparasites such as mites nematodes and tapeworms found in the Texas and roundtail homed lizards

The project will determine the extent of parasite infection in the lizards in our area Richerson said We hope to determine if parasitic infections are an imporshytant factor in the declining horned lizard populations

The two biologists will not be scouring the countryside for horny toads to dissect Instead the study will be done on preshyserved horned lizards already in the universitys vertebrate colshylection Richerson said

That is one reason why specishy

men collections are so valuable It is a great source of material for research I dont have to collect several hundred live lizards to get information needed Richshyerson expects the project to be completed by September

The Texas Chapter of the Homed Lizard Conservation Soshyciety is a non-profit conservation organization dedicated to the conservation and recovery of deshyclining homed lizard populations in Texas
