New federal and state guidelinesfor landfills will mean the closure ofabout 75 percent of the sites in Texaswith regional sites to take theirplaces under very strict regulationsfrom both governmental directions.

A series of public hearings (seeseparate story in this issue) in Valen-tine, Fort Davis and the DavisMountains Resort will discuss theclosings and some alternate plans forgarbage collection and disposal.

The county hopes to have in placean alternate plan for collection anddisposal prior to Dec. 1.

Letters to the editorEditor:It is heartbreaking to think of all the problems that have

developed in Marfa schools. The worst part is to think of how 'hard this must be on the students.

I believe that I'll always remember back in the 60s, they brokeinto radio programs (not much TV then) to say that the SupremeCourt had ruled that prayer and Bible should be eliminated frompublic schools. The thought came to me that they werepronouncing doom on public schools. I still feel that way.

An example of what I mean is that Russia allowed nothing butcommunistic material in their schools for many years, but theyfound out the hard way that this didn't lead to a joyful end, and sonow they are seeking Bibles for each student and are encouragingthem to read and study them. They are also, showing moviesabout Christ in their schools. The question now is who is free andwho is not free?

I'm reminded of one of my grandma's saying. She had sayingsfor all occasions. I don't know where grandma learned them.Maybe, she learned them at school. In those good old days, theytaught some morals, so that.students would know the proper wayto use the worldly knowledge that they learned at school.

When criticism was flowing freely, my grandma would say,"There is so much bad in the best of us and so much good in theworst of us that none of us should criticize the rest of us."

Editor:Since spelling is a real problem in English, we need to look at it

again. Recently I wrote "grey" instead of "gray" in something Idid, I forget what. Dictionaries tell us "grey" is the Britishspelling. You may remember Lady Jane Grey, who was queen forten days before Henry VIII had her beheaded. There was alsoZane Grey, the American author of western and sports novels.His books were ones I kept my nose glued to back when I was 12or so. Maybe he is responsible for both my spelling of the wordand, in part, the development of my-love for the written word.

. One further note, "grey" is to me a pure mixture of black andwhite, while "gray" has a slight yellowish tinge added to it, likeunhealthy smoke. '

I always thought the word was "feist" for a feisty little dog. Butsomewhere the American novelist William Faulkner has written"fice," a word I have not found in any of my dictionaries. But theeditors at a major publishing house let the word go through.Maybe they did not even know what a feist is, let alone how tospell it.

Mark Twain complained that early English writers did not knowhow to spell even though they were reputed to be great writers.And he was not just being funny. There is evidence that the manwe call "Shakespeare" was really called "Shaxpur." And theBritish "grey "was "grai" in Chaucer's day". Our language is trulya wondrous thing. .

Trail walkers to sponsor trioof walks in Big Bend parkBIG BEND N A T I O N A L

PARK - The West Texas TrailWalkers will sponsor threeVolksmarches (walks) in theBig Bend National Park on Oc-tober 10 and 11.

All area residents are invitedto participate in these events.

Beautiful and scenic trailshave been mapped for the en-joyment of the walkers. In-cluded on Saturday are BlueCreek Ranch and Blue CreekTrail, Red Rocks Canyon area

, on the 10 Kilometer (6.2 miles)trail and encompassing otherscenic trails for those walkersopting for the 15k or 21K trails.Sunday walks, 1 IK each, in-clude the Lost Mine Trail,Chisos Basin Loop Trail andthe Window Trail.

A variety of grass lands,woodlands, desert plant zones,and spectacular scenery awaitthe walkers.

Tom Spencer, West TexasTrail Walkers President, ex-plains that a Volksmarch is atrail walk which follows adesignated route. It is a familysport which is non-competitivewith participants encouraged totake each walk at his or herown individual pace and en-durance. Anyone completingthe walk is a winner.

Spencer says that because ofthe rugged country and uphiltelevations these trails are a littlemore di f f icul t than mostVolkssporting events; however,it is well worth the effort to ex-perience the beauty of this West

. Texas Country.

Of prime importance is the re-quirement that each participantcarry water with him; 1 quartfor a 10K hike and 2 quarts forlonger hikes. No one will be al-lowed on the trail without therequired amount of water. Longpants, hiking boots and hats arerecommended. A walking stickis very useful.

Walks start at the GroupCampsite in the Basin of BigBend National Park, withrestricted start times of 8 - 9

* a.m. for 10K and 8-8:30 a.m.for 15K and 21K walks onSaturday, Oct. 10, which isEvent #1 . Sunday Events #2and #3, both 1 IK walks, start at8-8:30 a.m. for Event #2, and10 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. for Event#3.

The aim of Volkssporting is topromote good health and isdesigned to appeal to people ofall ages. You will find young,and old, and in between on thetrails. Volkssporting began inGermany and literally translatesinto "sport of the people."

Volkssporting events are freeto participants. The West TexasTrail Walkers have a colorfulpatch available to anyone com-pleting the event for a nominalfae. Walkers desiring officialcredit pay a fee of S1.50.

. The Autumn ConstellationsI Planets

- Mercury is very low in the west, below Venus, after sunset. Itwill be more favorably located near the end of the month.

- Venus is low in the west after sunset.- Mars rises around 8 o'clock local time. It is in Gemini near the

stars Castor and Pollux.- Saturn is in Capricornus the southeastern sky at sunset.- Jupiter is low in the east a couple of hours before sunrise.EventsSeptember 28: Venus is just north (to the right) of the young

moon in the west a half-hour or so after sunset. Use binoculars.October 3: First quarter moon.The Stars of October and BeyondThe summer constellations are still hanging around in the west

and, in fact, seem frozen there. The starry sky seems no differentthan it did at this time last month. The reason: darkness is comingearlier now as the sun drifts ever southward. This effect offsetsthe westward march of the constellations. But change is in the air.Already a new crop of stars is rising strongly in the east,autumn's constellations, heralding not only a change in the skybut a change in seasons as well.

As the month of October wanes, the glorious Milky Way, whichgraced the skies all summer long, will lie more and more aroundthe west and southwest horizon, eventually setting from our sightsuntil its reappearance in the eastern evening sky next June. (Youcan still see it in the morning sky in early April around 4 a.m.)Now the view overhead is looking away from the disk of ourgalaxy into deep space.

When we look at the Milky Way, we are looking through thestar-rich plane of our galaxy. It's a little like standing in aclearing in the woods. If you look along the ground, all you see istrees. But if you look overhead, you see fewer trees and a lot ofsky. Our line of sight overhead is a window that looks out fromthe thin disk of the galaxy and out into extragalactic space - therealm of galaxies.

If you go out around 10 o'clock tonight, Pisces and the GreatSquare of Pegasus lie nearly overhead. And in the south, dimCetus the Sea Monster lurks, still ready to devour Andromedawhich lies safely of the northwestemmost star of the Pegasussquare.

To the north you can easily.see the zijpzaggy line stars thatcomprise the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen. Here we crossover into a new group of constellations, through which the winterMilky Way trails. Just northeast of Cassiopeia is thegiraffe-shaped constellation known as Perseus the hero. And justrising, the bright star Capella in Auriga the Charioteer. Capellashimmers violently in the atmosphere. East of Capella, very nearthe horizon, is Taurus the Bull. The head of Taurus is adistinctive wedge-shaped asterism lying on its side with a singlebright star - Aldebaran - marking the end of the eastern leg.

In a few months, and at about the same-time of night, the wedgewill nearly right itself/looking somewhat like a listing Christmas-tree - a more than appropriate sight for December 25!

It appears that the screwwormoutbreak in Mexico is semi-under control. However itwould still be a good idea tocontinue checking your live-stock closely. We do not need ascrewworm outbreak here inthe county.

I recently received some infor-mation on the free trade agree-ment between the United States,Mexico and Canada. Includedin this agreement are the fol-lowing provisions:

• duty-free access to 1/2 ofthe U.S . farm exports toMexico with the remainingtariffs eliminated within ISyears;

• current duty-free access tothe Mexican markets for cattleand beef with the remainingtariffs on U.S. livestock andpoultry exports to be eliminatedwithin 10 years;

• immediate elimination ofMexico's licensing require-ments for wheat and corn ship-ments and unrestricted accessfor these plus rice, oilseeds andoilseed products within 10-15years. Just how this agreementwill affect Texas producers issomething only time will tell.

While writing this column Ireceived some startling infor-mation. It was brought to myattention that a horse fromPresidio County was diagnosedas having died from WesternEncephalitis, commonly called"Sleeping Sickness." This isone of the few cases found inthe county in many years.Sleeping Sickness can be trans-mitted from one horse toanother and is contagious tohumans. It would be a goodidea to check your records andvaccinate any of your horseswhich need it.

If you are interested in obtain-ing a license to purchase pes-ticides (chemicals) then be sureand rna"rk Wednesday, Oct. 14on your calendar." That is the

day a Texas Department ofAgriculture representative willbe in Presidio County to ad-minister the test. The TexasAgricultural Extension Servicecan no longer give the test. If

you want a private applicator'slicense, then you need to be atone of two places that day. Wewill be in Marfa that morningat the courthouse at 8 a.m. and

in Presidio that evening at theAmerican Legion building at 4p.m. It takes approximately fivehours to view the requiredmaterial and take the test. Thiswill be the only testing date of-fered in the county until some-time next year so don't miss it.

The Texas Agriculture Forumwill be Monday, October 5, atthe Sheraton Mockingbird inDallas. This meeting will ad-dress issues that impact produc-tion agriculture, agri-businessand rural areas of Texas.Anyone interested in the healthof agriculture and rural com-munities is invited to attend thismeeting. There is a S25registration fee.

There will also be a TexasFruit Growers Conference andeducational program October 5-7 in Cohege Station at the Hil-ton. Topics include pesticides,Texas Water Rights, fr.uitproduction and some vegetableproduction. The conferencebegins at 1:30 p.m. on October5.

Best beef cook sought in statewide contestWho will win $3,000 and

honors as creator of Texas' bestbeef recipe in 1993?

Texas amateur cooks whohave a hankering to capture theprize money and title have untilDec. 28, 1992, to enter the1993 Texas Beef Recipe Con-test. This year's event has beenchanged in several ways tomake it more competitive andmore exciting than ever before.

"The make-up of the best beefrecipe in Texas has evolvedover the years," says LucyMoore, president of TexasC a t t l e W o m e n , t h ecompetition's sponsoring or-ganization. "Where once it wastraditional dishes, today we seevery modern presentations. Tokeep pace, this year's competi-tion will take on a new ap-pearance that we believe willbetter determine the real winner-of Texas' best beef recipe."

One major change, Mooresaid, is the entry categories. Inplace of the former categoriesof indoor, microwave and out-door barbecue, the Texas BeefRecipe Contest will focus onmeals.

Moore said the new categoriesare: Beef for Entertaining -casual or fancy recipes ap-propriate for entertaining orspecial occasions; fast, flavor-ful beef - appropriate for a

weeknight meal when time isshort; budget wise entrees - ap-p r o p r i a t e f o r a neconomy/budget meal ($2 perserving).

Another big change in thisyear's contest replaced the pre-vious cook-off format with arecipe contest. Instead ofhaving to cook their meals for apanel of judges,

finalists' recipes will bechosen the same way con-sumers choose their recipes.

"When a consumer scans arecipe, the decision on whetherto prepare it is based on the in-gredients, the cooking instruc-tions and whether the consumerbelieves it wilt taste good andmeet required nutritionalneeds," Moore said. "Thosesame criteria will be used inchoosing the Texas Beef Recipe

-ContesrflnalistsTRecipes willbe selected for their appeal asthey are written down onpaper."

After examining all the recipesreceived by the Dec. 28 entrydeadline, a short list of possiblewinners will be identified.These selections will be testedin the kitchen by a group ofprofessional home economists.That process will narrow thefield to five top finalists each ofwhom will win $1,000.On March 30, 1993, the top

Texas Farm Bureau observesU.S. Constitution WeekWACO - Sept. I i-n marks

the 36th anniversary.of Con-stitution Week, a time when"all Americans should givethanks for the many" freedomsthey have long-since taken forgranted." says the president ofthe Texas Farm Bureau.

"With freedom comes theresponsibility for Americans tobe good citizens by exercisingtheir right and privilege to votein the upcoming national elec-tion," TFB President S.M.True said.

True, a Plainview cotton,grain and cattle*producer, notedthat Congress created Constitu-tion Week on Aug. 2, 1956,setting Sept. 17-23 for the an-nual observance.

The TFB Board of Directorsincluded a policy in TFB'spolicy book calling for the an-nual observance of ConstitutionWeek.

The president of the state'slargest general farm organiza-tion pointed to the preamble ofthe Texas Farm Bureau's policy

hook which adheres to the basicprinciples included in the Con-stitution signed by the earlylawmakers in 1787. (It becamea document in 1788.)

"We believe that our faith inGod and the democratic prin-ciples of free enterprise andhuman freedom upon which ournation was founded are respon-sible for its greatness," Truesaid.

True said he encouragedAmericans to call on Congressto return to those principles onwhich the nation was foundedwhich protected our freedom tochoose one's own occupation,"invest and save their earningsas they choose, and to worshipas their conscience dictates."

Among those rights, Truestressed, included "privatecompetitive free enterprise" and"property that is privatelyowned."

The TFB president said heb e l i e v e s the A m e r i c a nforefathers intended thosefreedoms to remain intact.

Public Notice..---...Southwestern Bell Telephone Company has asked the Public

Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) for approval to offer newopMonaJcall management services called CaJter Identification Service (CallerID) and Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR).

Caller ID is a new optional phone service which allows auhacrih.era to see the phone number and/or name of most local calls beforethey answer the phone. Caller ID also allows the recording of thedate, time; name and/or phone number of calto. Currently, Caller IDwould work only on most local calls, not long distance calls. It wouldalso require that a separate display unit be connected to the tele-phone. These units that attach to the telephone will be available fromvarious retail vendors, including Southwestern Bell, at a cost startingat approximately $50.

Southwestern B«U is also proposing that all cuatomem beable to "block," or stop their name/number from being transmit-ted and displayed on a Caller ID device, free of charge. You wouldhave this option of "blocking" your name/number on each callfree of charge. There would be no need to subscribe to this ser-vice. Ail customers would have this capability when Caller ID isintroduced in their area.

If you want to block your name or number, you need only press*67 on your touch-tone pad (or dial 1167 from a rotary phone) beforedialing the telephone number. The person you're calling would seedisplayed a message such as "private" or "anonymous' on theirCaller ID display unit.

Southwestern Bell also proposes that qualified domestic vio-lence and law enforcement groups have the option of free per-lineblocking, or free per-call blocking.

Anonymous Call Rejection (ACR or "block the blocker") allowssubscribers to automatically reject all calls that have been markedanonymous, or "blocked" by the person calling. It is not necessaryto subscribe to Caller ID Name/Number to subscribe to ACR. WithACR, your telephone will not ring if the person calling you has"blocked" his/her name or number. The person calling whose identi-fication is blocked will receive a message to hang up and call backwith caller identification unblocked. Following are the proposedmonthly rates for Caller ID and ACR.Proposed Rates (monthly)

Calling Number onlyCalling Name onlyCalling Name & NumberAnonymous Call Rejection

Residence$6.50

• $6.50$8i00

$3/$i••

Business$ 8.50$ 8.50

• $12.00$3/$1 * *

These rates are in addition to the initial installation charges andmonthly basic service rate. For residence customers, installationcharges are $2.70 per feature, with a maximum charge of $5.40. Forbusiness customers, the charges are $5.40 per feature, with a maxiimum charge of $10.75.* * Anonymous Call Rejection is $3 per month if purchased withoutCaller ID and is $1 per month when purchased with Caller ID Name orNumber.

This proceeding has been designated Docket No. 11362, and ahearing on the merits has been scheduled for November 16,1992.The PUC has jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant to Sections16.18,37 and 38 of the Public Utility Regulatory Act (PURA). Thisapplication was filed pursuant to the provisions of the PUC's Sub-stantive Rule 23.24. Among the issues that will be addressed in thisproceeding is the legality of the Caller ID device and service underTexas wiretap laws.

Persons who wish to intervene or otherwise participate inthese proceedings should notify the PUC as soon as possible. Thedeadline to intervene is October 26,1992. A request to intervene,participate, or for further information should be mailed to the PublicUtility Commission of Texas, 7800 Shoal Creek Boulevard, Suite400N, Austin, Texas 78757.
