Letters to the editor
(Editor: As on assignment/or my English 3110 class at The
University of Texas at El Paso, 1 have written the following
informative paper. My Instructor, Mrs. Kaihy Stein, has asked
that I submit my essay for consideration to The Big Bend Sentinel,
lama graduate of Marfa High School, and 1 am Interested In
Informing my former schoolmates on matters that 1 think may be
of help to them. Sincerely, Martha Gutierrez)
Dear students:
My name is Martha Gutierrez. I attended Marfa High School.
And now I am attending The University of Texas at El Paso. I am
writing to let you know some of the problems I ran into at UTEP
because of the bad decisions I made in high school.
High school to most students is taken lightly or as a joke, but if
you plan to attend college it is a whole different situation because
much more responsibilities are needed to succeed in a college
community. There are many problems that I ran into but I have
narrowed them down to three.
First, I will discuss the lack of self-discipline in students. This is
one of the most important things you will need in college. I had to
learn this the hard way. In my experience of high school,
self-discipline was of no importance to me. I can remember trying
to study for tests but my friends would show up and I'd end up
going out instead of staying home and studying. And I know some
of you do this, a good show or movie comes on and you try and
study while watching TV and end up putting your work off. I
used to always do this. But now I'm in college and having
self-discipline took me a while to get in the hang of..You can't put
work off in college. I put my work off in college and I ended up
failing some of my tests. And in college some of my professors
don't give extra credit or make-ups. Starting now you need to set
your goals and accomplish them on your own. Study first then go
out with your friends. In college parents nor teachers are going to
be telling you to stay home and study for so many hours.
Second, I would like to discuss the problem of skipping class.
Skipping school is a hard habit to break. I can remember when a
concert in El Paso or Odessa would come up and we just had to
go so we'd skip school. Or sometimes we would stay out late
partying and we would be to tired to go to school the next day.
I'll tell you this, in college it is very easy to just say I'm tired so I
guess I'll just stay in and sleep. I did this a lot when I first started
college. And I learned not to skip class anymore. In college
missing one day is like missing a whole week. I missed out on a
whole lot of notes and assignments. The catching up was not* a fun
thing to do. So I advise you to save the partying for the weekends
and don't create a habit that you'll have to break if you want to do
will in college.
Finally, I would like to discuss the problem of students not doing
their work. Yet I must say there are the few that are doing their
work but turning it in late. I remember sometimes I would be to
lazy to do my work so I wouldn't do it. Or sometimes I would do
it but turn it iri late. Simply because I knew my teachers would
accept'late work'. I how learn that my professors do not accept
late work. And they could care less if I do the work or not. My
professors have a large number of students to attend to and cannot
be worrying about students turning in their work. So it's best if
you just start getting in the habit of doing your work and on time
without someone reminding you that it is due. I found that getting
a calendar and writing when my work is due really works great.
Or you could just find something to write on to remind you what
work is due on what day. I truly hope that you all take my
experiences and advice seriously.
College can be a great experience. Don't think that it is all work
and no fun. There is plenty of time to have fun and meet new
people, hut your school work comes first. Just practice good study
habits and learn to say "NO" to going out once and a while. This
is your future we are talking about and what you do with it is all
up to you. I sure wish someone would have told me these things
while I was still in high school. I also hope to see you all in
college with straight A's. Good luck.
Sincerely yours,
Martha Gutierrez

City to help at
county airport
MARFA - The Marfa Municipal Airport is scheduled for a
$1.5 million facelift beginning
next year.
In the meantime, the city of
Marfa has offered to patch some
cracks in the runway, Mayor
Jake Brisbin Jr. said this week.
City Commissioner Fritz Kahl,
a pilot, noticed the bad places in
the landing strip and brought the
matter up with Presidio County
Commissioner Jack Brunson.
Brunson indicated he didn't
have money in the county airport
budget.
With the approval of Presidio
County Judge Monroe Elms, city
crews hope to patch the runway
Friday.
This is an effort to continue the
policy of city-county cooperation
in an effort-to save taxpayer dollars, Brisbin said.
It's good works like these that makes living in the Marfa area a
blessing.
Sincerely,
Gerry and Marie Oropeza
Marfa

Aggies! Don't you just love to hate 'em. It's almost like they

Maybe part of it is the pseudo-military outfits. You know, the
Smokey Bear hats, General Patton riding breeches and shaved
head haircuts. Oh yeah, and don't forget the Buster Brown belts,
just to top off the hotdog outfit with a little relish.
Gimme a break, a real military man would hurl chunks. Why, a
couple of years ago, one of these yahoos forgot that the sword he
was wearing was for decoration and threatened a Tejano partisan
at one of their annual football games.

Brings to mind the stone age tribe discovered in the Philippines
within the past IS years. There had been no-contact with our
civilization except the tribe did see an occasional 'big bird that

Thirty-five was old age for the people, and they lived in caves
and trees, using open camp fires for cooking. ;
The debate surged around them instantly. Bring them modern

outcome of the debate.
They had no word for war and did not understand what it meant.

Team improves
after turkey break
MARFA - What a difference a
game makes.
If the Marfa Shorthorns varsity
basketball team was Dr. Jekyl
against the Fort Davis Indians
last Tuesday, they were Mr.
Hyde against the Marathon Mustangs-Tuesday.
The Horns won both games,
59-44 against the Indians and 77SO against the ponies, but it
looked like two different teams
on the court.
Tuesday, it was team play;
cool, calm, collected.
On offense, the playbobk was
at work -with teammates passing
the ball until it made your head
swim and the shots were dropping, from the inside and outside. On defense, it was steal
after steal. The basket was
guarded like Fort Knox.
Last week, in contrast, was helter-skelter. The Horns blasted out to a 25-7
first-period lead against Marathon and took a 45-13 advantage
at the half.
Coach Jack Ruiz put the second
team in with about five minutes
left in the half and they continued
to score. The second team also
saw action in the final period as
they took over after the third-periodjead of 64-36.
. _
5 Marfa senior workhorse Bawiu
fJunez had 33 points ^ - : both"
games, 23 points including three
three-pointer against the Mustangs and 10 points including two
three's against the Indians.
Teimmate Glenn Mendoza was
on Nunez's heels with 31 total
points, 15 against Marathon and
16 against Fort Davis.
Next was Felipe Garcia with 18
points, eight against the ponies
and 10 against Fort Davis; then
Justin Bledsoe and newcomer
Brooks Thode with 14 each,
Bledsoe with six against Marathon and eight against the Indians, and Thode with four against
Marathon and 10 against Fort
Davis,
Eric Garcia got eight points including a three against Marathon, Abel Razo had six against
the Mustangs, Brad Roberts had
five points including a three
against Fort Davis and Rocky
Roman got four against Marathon.
Both games were at Hunter
Gym.
The Horns are 2-1 on the season.
MARFA - Despite a 41-67 loss
to the Marathon Mustangs, the
Lady Shorthorn varsity basketball team came alive Tuesday at
Hunter Gym.
The team started slowly, getting two points in the first period
and eight points in the second,
but then poured it on in the third
with 23 points. The Horns also
would get eight points in the final
period.
Three Horns made it in the double digits, Crystal Simpson with
12, Anna Sanchez with 11 including a three-pointer and Rosa
Villanueva with 10.

Sul Ross is also asking for approval to combine two departments, the Geology and
Chemistry departments.
"This consolidation will enable
us to make more effective use of
faculty as well as provide more
effective academic administrative leadership at the department
and school levels and provide us
with a modest savings," Morgan
said.
In other business, Sul Ross officials will ask for final accep;

Fine Arte Building and expansion of the Kokernot Outdoor
Theatre; new food service rates

The three construction projects

Under the proposed food service rates, the five-day meal plan
will increase from S725 per semester to $755 per semester. The
seven-day plan will increase
from $785 to $815. Summer
meal plan rates will also increase
slightly.
The computer access fee of

MARFA -Alpine artist John
Davis and Harriet McDonald of
Sanderson will be exhibiting new
works at the Marfa National
Bank Friday through Friday December 10.
A product of the Chihuahuan
Desert area of Far West Texas,
Davis is known widely for his
one-of-a-kind pottery and unique
construction techniques.
Inspired by the desert's rugged
terrain, his work reflects the incredible hues of. the mountain
sunsets and the variability of this
untamed region.
His virtuoso ranges from the
elegant to the whimsical as he
expresses himself via the medium of clay and color, and his
"artisan concretization" keeps
him in touch with reality as he
harmonizes color, line, texture
and shading.
Davis is experimenting with
textured clay slabs mounted on
ceramic lamp bases to create an
intermingling of shadows and
light. At the present time floral
motifs are a prominent influence
in his work, contrasted with an
occasional cactus or desert piece.
His future plans include series of
pieces featuring an evolutionary
change from one piece to the
next.
A recipient of various artistic
and scholastic scholarships,
Davis possesses both a bachelor's and master's degree from
Sul Ross State University: He
has held seminars and workshops
in pottery and natural spinning,
dyeing, and weaving for regional
galleries as'well as for- clasmjat.
Sul Ross and the Chihuahuan piesen Research Institute. .;. ;il .
Davis works out of his tbwn
studio and gallery in Alpine, a

McDonald, a native Texan; has
been a life-long resident-of the
desert Southwest...-. -.
She expresses her love of the
region and.its way of life,.past
and present through various art
media.
Self-taught and painting for
many years, she. has explored
and enjoyed oils, acrylic, pastels, pen and ink, colored pencil,
and recently a little sculpting.
Oil remains her main medium,
however, and the Big Bend area
is her most often painted subject
matter.
-.«;
McDonald owns and operates
the Cactus Rose Art Gallery in
Sanderson, where she displays
the work of various area artists
as well as her own. She maintains
a small studio at the gallery
where she teaches and paints, as
well as a larger studio located
behind her home.
McDonald said, "Art is for me'
a delightful means of expressing
my enjoyment, wonder, and appreciation of the handiworklof
our Creator. I want it to be a
celebration of- the light,, color,
and textures of our world, and
life.

haywagon accompanied by
cowboys, caballeros, and a soldier or two. An old-fashioned
hayride to view neighborhood
light displays will complete the
evening. Merchants plan on
staying open late with refreshments or treats for evening

& Bone' review
By ROBERT HALPERN, Editor
There were no Hollywood stars at Rangra Cinema in Alpine .
Friday for the Far West Texas premiere of Flesh and Bone, a
slice of rural Texas 1 ife drama fil med in Marfa and other Texas *
communities last year.
No Meg Ryan, Dennis Quaid, James Caan or Gwyneth Paltrow,
just The Big Bend Sentinel editor and his bride, some Marfa High
School students and other film-goers filling time over the
Thanksgiving holiday.
The lack of star power and the less-than-blockbustcr attendance,
at the opening aren't a good reflection on the flick.
It's no Giant, but it ain't bad.
The film should be fun for area residents to see, knowing that
some scenes were shot in Marfa at the Stardust Motel, and to pick
out the local folks who landed bit parts in the movie.
There's Jack Kilpatric getting on a bus, Gene Nixon as one of
the bus passengers and my wife, Rosario. Salgado Halpern, as a
motel maid walking in the background from room to room with a
handful of sheets and towels as the characters of Ryan and Quaid
talk in the foreground.
It's a part I've jokingly told her she's trained for all her life. She
doesn't think that's funny and reminds me she has a bachelor's
degree in accounting, and as vice president of our little newspaper
corporation, signs my paycheck.
What didn't make the final cut was a scene shot at Cross
Pharmacy. Sorry Mr. Cross, Linda Jurado and other locals
playing drug store shoppers.
That scene had Quaid's character, Arliss. Sweeney, buying
makeup for Ryan's character, Kay Davies, to conceal a black eye
her husband gave her.
A Sentinel prop even made it in the film; the movie poster
holder we've converted into the front-page display in the
newspaper office window.
You can see it for afleetingmoment in an early scene when
Arliss, a route vending machine stacker of candies, condoms and
chickens that play tic-tac-toe, enters a Convenience store.
When location and prop scouts came to the area last year, they
liked it and borrowed it from us.
Quaid, who in the past gave robust performances-in other films
as he did as Jerry Lee Lewis in 'Great Balls of Fire,' is reserved
in his portrayal of Arliss, a quiet loner haunted by an event in his
childhood.
Caan is sinister as Arliss' father, Roy, who as Arliss tells Kay,
always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Ryan's performance is so-so as the gal whose marriage is
breaking up.
Paltrow, as Roy's girlfriend, steals the show as Ginnie, a
scammer who steals jewelry from the dead.
The movie is rated R for some violence, vulgar language, female
nudjttjwd a short sex scene between Kay and Arliss. Ryan and

•PAISANO HOTRT
The cold front that hit for
Thanksgiving made November
a slower month than usual but
it never gets too quiet. People
ask if the winter months have
fewer travelers than summer
but it is not necessarily so.
If you are interested in
renting the hotel dance floor
for a holiday party or dance,
this is the time to reserve it.
This weekend the Border
Patrol has a farewell banquet
for retiring Asst. Chief Don
Barnfield.
Indian Lodge employees
say they will to have their
annual Christmas party in a
couple of weeks. The Spanish
Room, .the dance floor, is also
reserved for New Year's Eve
by the Big Bend Dance Club.
The hotel is renting
apartments and fixing vacant
rooms to be used as traditional
hotel rooms and offices.
Someday the Paisano should
consist of 15 hotel rooms, 10
apartments,. 5 offices, a beauty
shop, gift store, restaurant and
private club. In order to make
that a reality we need to start
renting apartments and to do
that we first need to convert to
gas heating for the winter.
There are usually one or
two government employees by
the week or month. Right now
there are two apartments for
rent and if you are interested
come by for an application.
You need to be employed or
retired, have good credit and
not have children or pets.
We also need a person or
couple that is interested in
opening the restaurant. The
rent, including a furnished
apartment, is only a percentage of the gross.

and breakfast. It is only z
matter of time before the '
right people show up.
To open a drinking and
dancing establishment, what
experienced persons advise
is, if we want a respectable
place, to make it a private
club even if it only serves
beer, wine and setups.
Paisano Hotel News will
explain the progress being
made in restoring the hotel
and discuss our expanding
tourist trade.
Thinking is that in 2-5
years a noticable boom will

West Texas Utilities Company announces several changes
as part of a corporate-wide. process of reorganization
West Texas Utilities Company
(WTU), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Central and South
West Corporation (CSW), an-,,
nounced several changes as part*
of a corporate-wide, process of
reorganization. Similar changes
will take place at CSW's three
other electric operating companies,
The changes compete the first
phase of a reorganization process designed to make the corporation more efficient and
productive, and . position the
companies to meet the demands
of an increasingly competitive
business climate.
"Our goal is to continually improve the quality of our customer service, and these
changes will help us reach that
goal. WTU will still have a
strong local presence and will
continue to he active in the
communities we serve," said
Glenn Files, president and chief
executive officer of WTU.
Three vice presidents will
have responsibility over the operations of each operating company. These will be vice
presidents of operations and engineering, business development and marketing, and
administration. In addition,
WTU will have an executive
vice president while Files heads
CSW's efforts to acquire El
Paso Electric Company.
According to Files, the reorganization process began this
past summer with a review of
the entire CSW organization. It
is expected to be complete by
the spring of 1994.
The review was prompted by
the reality that the typical electric utility structure of the last
50 years is not adequately responsive in today's competitive
business climate. Over several
decades, annual growth in demand for electricity placed the
industry's emphasis on financing the construction and operation of multi-million dollar
power systems.
"Successful businesses today
must focus on moving quickly
to satisfy changing expectations
of customers, and be flexible
enough to meet all competitive
challenges" Files said.

Department budget reduced expected revenues by $10,000, a total
of $46,060 more than approved in the original budget.
We were lucky that the original budget had another error.

1992/93 September budget reports.
Neither the mayor nor the city administrator know what the
"accounts payable" .are for the end of the last fiscal year until the
auditors release the numbers.
I asked again for the Information 11/24/93, the day the council
amended the budget. Without the accounts payable, it is
impossible to know the final budget status including any "excess"

Editor:
Congratulations to the residents of South Brewster County for
the community's decision to strengthen their ties with Big Bend
Regional Medical Center by becoming a rural health clinic of the
• Big Bend Regional Hospital District.
I was mere for the Saturday, November 20 community meeting
when, after receiving an excellent presentation from both factions
- one in favor of a stand-alone Federally Qualified Health Clinic
(FQHC) and one in favor of being affiliated with Big Bend
Regional Medical Center as a Rural Health Clinic (RHC) - the
community overwhelmingly voted their approval, 38 to 6 (two of
the six wanted more information), to take their rightful place
along side the other rural health clinics of the hospital district
structure,
An unexpected but welcomed guest was Mr. Pete Wisner of
Burnet, Texas, who established thefirstFederally Qualified
Health Center in Texas. He spoke of the benefits of being a
stand-alone FQHC.
Richard Arnold, administrator of Big Bend Regional Medical
Center, pointed out the main difference between the two
structuresTFQHC vs. RHC) is the provider - a full-time physician
vs. a mid-level practitioner supervised by a physician. The
difference in salary can be as much as a hundred thousand a year
which is difficult for small populations to justify or pay for.
Arnold-stated that is South Brewster County could attract and pay
for, by grants or outside funding, a full-time physician, the
hospital district would encourage that addition.
Arnold also satisfied a lingering question of how much control
and input the immediate community would have in the provision
of medical care for its own residents. He demonstrated his
dedication to community input by announcing that a questionnaire
was in the process of being evaluated which quizzed the residents
of Presidia as jo their recommendations for improving health care
through their rural health clinic, also part of the Big Bend
Regional Medical Center. He clarified that all Big Bend's
hospital-based clinics have provisions for community boards and
councils to act in advisory capacities to the hospital district.
Bobbie Russell, R.N., board member of Terlingua Medics the
emergency medical system in Terlingua, pointed out that a
stand-alone clinic would have a hard time attracting ahy
practitioner, nurse or physician because of the limited liability
coverage in malpractice insurance. She strongly suggested that
attracting medical personnel would be much easier if the clinic
was under the umbrella of tort liability extended by the hospital.
Rob Arnberger, superintendent of Big Bend National Park and
an original member and vice-president of the board of Primary
Care Services, Inc. said that he and other members of the board
had resigned so that a faction of the board could attempt to
establish the clinic as a stand-alone FQHC. He stated that a year
has gone by and the clinic still stands as it did a year ago. It is bis
opinion that it is time to go forward with positive action and Join
the hospital district under the structure of a rural health clinic.
Dr.1 Rapaport, a resident of Terlingua Ranch and pathologist at
Scott and White Medical Center in Temple, Texas called for a
vote of confidence from the crowd to support the board of
Primary Cars Services, Inc. to become a rural health clinic
affiliated and run by the Big Bend Hospital District. The crowd
applauded that decision.
I would like to comment on the excellent way Jim Henricksen,
president of the board of Primary Care Services Inc., Richard
Arnold, administrator of Big Bend Regional Medical Center and
Mr. Pete Wisner, guest from Burnet, conducted the meeting and
fielded questionsfromthe community.
Mr. Henricksen spent many hours pouring over federal and state
documents provided by my office, Texas Tech's Office of Rural
Health, so that he and other board members could make informed
decisions. The members of the board requested information on
every facet of primary care clinics mat would help them in their
decision. Calls were made to all federal and state agencies to
request those opinions. Mr. Henricksen (Jim) and the members of
the board took no one's word for anything but researched the
topic thoroughly themselves.
The decision to go with the hospital district seemed to stem from:
1) Recognizing that the board of directors of the hospital district,
Richard Arnold and the staff of Big Bend Regional Medical
Center truly have the best interest of the community in mind;
2) That the provision of care will be designed to meet the needs
of the community;
3) That strengthening the position of the hospital would forge a
strong tie to the hospital with all its linkages including upper level
care and Texas Tech's HEALTHNET telecommunications
system;
4) and that their remoteness and proximity to the border called
for ties to a strong system of health care rather than being an
isolated stand-alone health care facility.
Congratulations on your decision to form the linkages that make
for a strong system capable of delivering excellent health care to
the residents of South Brewster County.

Marfa JSD trustee Lara meets
with state education leaders
Raul Lara wasambng31 school
board members from across
Texas who met with Education
Commissioner Lionel "Skip"
Meno, State Board of Education
(SBOE) members, and other
education leaders in Austin,
November 12-13.
The trustees' are all members
of the Texas Association of
School Board's (TASB) 1994
Leadership TASB class'. The'
two-day meeting was the second in a series of five training
workshops class participants
must complete as part of their
leadership development curriculum. The trustees attended the
SBOE General Meeting, which
was followed by a dinner with
state and local policymakers.
In his keynote speech, Meno
stressed the need to return the
focus of education to the children and the educational results
Texas must achieve. "We need
to begin to organize and view
differently how to create conditions to improve interaction and
where the child will learn most
beneficially - in the classroom
environment, the campus and
district, as well as the regional
and state level," Meno said.
Dinner meeting table topics
facilitated an exchange of educational concerns, ideas, problems and potential solutions
among the board members and
state leaders. "This forum encouraged an openness among
trustees and state leaders that
does not occur in more formal
meetings,"
said
Virginia
I
TrchaJek, Leadership' TASB
program, manager. "They had
the opportunity to learn and discuss, to understand one another's perspectives, and to get.
past the bureaucracy to the
heart of the Issue - achieving
educational goals.
Legislative issues and advocacy training were the focus of
meetings. Trustees beard an
overview of the education lobby
and a panel discussion on the
differing roles.and interests of
the many education associations. Master trustee graduates
of the 1993 Leadership TASB
charter class also presented a
workshop on using the Texas
Education Network information
system, and former legislators
Mike Toomey and Charlie
Evans conducted a role-playing
workshop for trustees to gain
hands-on experience in lobbying the Legislature and giving
testimony.
Leadership TASB is a development program designed by
school board members for
school board members. The
program is open to all Texas
school board members who
have fulfilled 30 hours of certified school board member training
credit
and
have
demonstrated leadership ability
on their board and in their community. Completion requirements include attendance at four
of the five training sessions and
participation in a team project
tackling issues and tasks that directly impact school policy and
practice in Texas.

Free brochures untangle new tax
laws for individuals & small businesses
Robinson Cafeteria school menus
DALLAS - Taxes and confu- general tax-saving strategies as
sion go hand-in-hand for many
taxpayers, and the new tax bill
just adds to the problem. Now
though, two free brochures that
make sense of the tax code
changes are available free from
the Texas Society of Certified
Public Accountants (TSCPA).One is geared toward individuals while the other is for small
business owners.
The brochure designed to help
individuals, "Twenty One
Money-Suving Tips for 1993,
A CPA's Guide to the New
Tax Bill" cuts through the clutter of the new tax bill and presents the facts' in layman's
terms. It lists the new tax provisions and their effective dates
and provides some key tips to
help lower your tax bill.
Small business owners concerned with how the new tax
bill will impact their bottom
line can get pertinent information from the brochure, "Understanding the New Tux
Laws, A CPA's Guide for
Small Businesses." It outlines
J
the "new" laws arid"6Ffers "some
well.
"There's no doubt taxpayers
need good, clear information in
order to prepare their tax return
and take advantage of moneysaving opportunities. These
brochures can be valuable tools
in helping taxpayers understand
the new tax laws and minimize
their tax bill," said Pat Wilson,
CPA-San Antonio and TSCPA
president. The brochure was
produced by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
TSCPA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting
professionalism among CPAs
and influencing excellence in
education throughout the state.
Headquartered in Dallas, the
31,000-member Society has the
largest in-state membership in
the nation.
Texas taxpayers are using
these brochures to save on their
federal taxes. To order your
free copy, call the Texas Society of CPAs at 214/689-6000,
