of the 1991 Ford Explorer that previously was used by Chief Deputy Benny Utley. Utley now is driving a 1984 Dodge that has been in the sheriffs fleet for awhile. The sheriffs office also has made available to Presidio County Constable Raul Barriga a fleet 1987 Dodge Ram Charger. According to Sheriff Abe Gon-

zalez, plans in the near future are to add one or two more vehicles to the south county office. In recent weeks, a south county deputy's cruiser broke down south of Marfa on U.S. 67 after he transported a prisoner to the county jail in Marfa, and vehicles had to be jump-started before taking calls in Presidio.

Danny Dominguez apprehended them in the 300 block of South Highland. Taylor said alcohol was found in the 1980 Chevrolet, but charges were not filed because one of the subjects is 21-yearsold. The juvenile claimed to be the driver of the vehicle.

At 10:45 p.m. Losoya attempted to stop the vehicle, which was driving 80 mph in a 40 mph speed zone, on east U.S. 90 just inside the city limits. The vehicle refused to stop and continued at a high rate of speed turning on several side streets. The vehicle turned into the alley at the 200 block of East Dallas.

A good man By ROBERT HALPERN : The Big Bend Sentinel I ran into Presidio County Sheriff Abe Gonzalez in his yard Sunday. He was in his work clothes with a paint roller in his hand. We exchanged pleasantries_and eventually the election came up. He waxed philosophic about his defeat and said he wasn't bitter at all. He said he was proud of his tenure in elected office, not only as sheriff but as justice of the peace. It's a tough job being sheriff, he said, also being a JP. He said he. had no regrets. He first was elected north county JP and then-was appointed . sheriff in the Thompson matter. In a four-man race, Abe won the Democratic primary when his closest challenger declined to pursue a run-off election. He then defeated his Republican opponent in the general election. This may be a touchy subject, but Abe is the first Hispanic to be Presidio County sheriff. It only took more than 100 years. He opened the door for other qualified and deserving Hispanic law officers, including the sheriff-elect. Abe took us through some troubled times and restored honesty and integrity to a once-tarnished post. Sure his administration - and he's got nine months more to go has had its up and downs. Don't we all. He inherited the jail problem and two of his former subordinates went astray. His weakest characteristic politically (and this is a sad commentary of our times) is his strongest attribute in every other way: his good heart. He likes to give people a second chance. Abe took me into his barbershop and showed me his athletic trophies from his youth. There are top-placing trophies from when he boxed and ran long distance in Ciudad Juarez. There are basketball trophies from his award-winning Blackwell School team. I finally saw more of Abe than his time in office. He's courageous and compassionate. A survivor. I left feeling melancholy for his defeat but encouraged by his out-look and his peace of mind. It was one of life's lessons God sends your way at times. We said good-bye, Abe's hand-shake strong as a rock.

Upholding the public trust By JAKE BRISBIN JR. ..- Presidio County Judge « Last week's editorial about public employees and officials who have been charged with or found guilty of crimes was a well written, reasoned approach to a sensitive issue. The editor was right in asserting that public employees and elected officials are and should be held to a higher standard. We know this when we take the oath, put on the badge or accept a check that is derived from tax funds. That being said, there is another point to consider. It is embarrassing and sad that we have had more than our share of such incidents. „—-^But consider this when weighing the overaiTseverity of the problem: The very people who brought attention and public scrutiny to each incident were themselves public servants and office holders. Think about it. Our system and the people who operate it locally-afe^strong "~~~ enough to overcome the aberrations. The fact that most of the men and women who hold office and serve the public trust are worthy of it is how we are aware of those who are not." There are places where such incidents would have been swept under the rug or covered up. It has been exposed in the past, and human nature being what it is, it will be exposed in the future. We will deal with them as we always have on my watch, openly and swiftly. Once exposed, the job of prosecuting them then becomes the district attorney's. I speak for myself when I say that I have zero tolerance for corruption. As the chief elected official for Presidio County, I can honestly say I believe most of our public employees and officials throughout the individual communities and the county are honest, hard-working individuals who are worthy of the trust and respect of the public and the news media. -

Letters to the editor Editor: You can blame me. I'm the culprit if you were hoping that a new convenience store and truck stop would be built on the Foxworth-Galbraith Lumber Co. property facing U.S. 90 and the properties north of there facing El Paso Street. Apparently I am the only owner who was not agreeable to selling. My brother and I are joint owners of two buildings that front on El Paso Street. When we were first approached about selling our two buildings, I based my preliminary decision purely on business reasons and initially agreed to sell, knowing that the buildings would be destroyed. As time passed I became more and more uncomfortable with my decision. Even though I could certainly get a greater return-on those assets if they were invested differently, I came to feel that the greater good of Marfa would not be served by razing buildings that were occupied by local merchants. These buildings were erected shortly after the turn of the century and, in my opinion, add to the charm of our community. In an effort to base my decision on something other than sentiment, I consulted three economists from Trinity University and Texas A&M University. They told me they knewof no - - - ^ studies that would apply directly to this situation. They said the .net economic impact depended on too many variables in the [region as well as in Mexico. However, they did go on to say that part of the appeal of our area is the history and charm that distinguishes us from other small towns on major highways. One economist-said that in his opinion, it is too great a sacrifice to tear down historic buildings housing viable local businesses when other sites may be available. To do so would deprive the community of an asset. After days of struggle, I called the real estate broker and told her I was having second thoughts and needed a little more time. My brother signed the contracts and sent them on to me for my signature, but I just couldn't execute the contracts and consign those two buildings ta the bulldozers. I have lots of regrets. I regret that all the work the real estate brokers did on this deal is for naught. I regret the trouble my decision causes our neighbors on El Paso Street. I regret any hard feelings within the community. I apologize for all the discomfort and inconvenience caused by my decision. We are all seeing renewed interest in the Big Bend area and it is my hope that we can have new businesses come into town to enhance the community and strengthen the economy. I believe we can retain our charming historic buildings, some of which have been lovingly restored, and at the same time welcome newcomers. It doesn't have to be either/or. I believe we can have both! Let's work together toward that goal. Sincerely yours, Mary Anne Beanland Moses San Antonio

WOOL GATHERING

Round peg in a square hole The voice came over the telephone with a diabolical glee, no more than five minutes after The Big Bend Sentinel came out on a Thursday. "How," he asked, "can you encircle a square?" "What?" "Encircle a square. That's what you said in Wool Gathering. That iron fence around the courthouse square 'encircled' the yard." Oy vay and bah! To the trusty dictionary. Aha. To use a bit qfjegalese hair-splitting. To encircle also can meanlo surround, such as surrounding a field with a fence. So there. But, in a manner of speaking, it really didn't sound right. So the dang fence went on all four sides of the courthouse yard and you had to open a gate to'get in. For those who might remember there were gaps instead of gates, you are a lot older than I thought, and please, don't call me. call the editor. (Thanks, WG.-.the editor.) (Otro editor's note; Vie author of the Marfa Catholic church history printed in WG last week isn 't Mary Jane at the bank but Mary Jane Gonzales Mendoza. She recalled it was for Mrs. Shannon's seventh-grade Texas histon class at Marfa Elementary School in 1965.)

Cattle prices biggest issue facing producers this year AUSTIN - "I hope we can survive and continue to make a liv, ing in this industry we love. It will be tough," President .Chaunce O. Thompson Jr. told members of Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association in his annual address to the membership Tuesday. More than 2,500 cattle producers and members of allied industries are gathered in Austin for the 119th annual convention of the livestock trade association based in Fort Worth. "The largest issue of the year has been cattle prices," said Thompson. He reviewed the factors contributing to the continuing depressed cattle market: An increase in the size of the cow herd; increased beef production; corn prices; Mexican cattle;-and drought. Thompson said another continuing problem'is packer concentration. "The three major packers now handle 82 percent of the fed slaughter, and now we find them ...moving into non-fed slaughter," he reported. Thompson said TSCRA has supplied considerable information to the Justice Department on the situation, but said, "the administration's position that biggerjs better is disheartening. The quality and consistency of beef is another challenge facing cattle producers. "How do we bring about beef cuts of approximately the same size and ensure consumers are getting tenderness and flavor that will bring them back to the beef case?" he queried. Thompson said he doubts cattle producers will be paid-more to raise that kind of cattle. "Instead we'll be docked for producing the wrong kind!" he said. "The only way we're going to get there, I think, is have enough pride in individual cow herds to bring them around to the kind that will produce the desired product. We've got a lot to learn," he concluded. These are prime examples of "life happening while you are busy making other plans," Thompson said. He quoted the line from the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus" as he detailed a barrage of issues which bombarded association leaders during the past year. These included testimony opposing the reintroduction of the Mexican Wolf and a proposed rule from the Texas Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners whereby only licensed veterinarians could do pregnancy cow checks. Extensive efforts working on estate tax relief and other estate

tax issues with U.S.Rep. Bill Archer, R-Texas, have been frustrated as the proposal became entangled in the balanced budget debate. "Immigration has been a hot issue this year," Thompson continued, outlining House and Senate bills which originally contained language allowing confiscation of property if an illegal alien was found employed. Some even think it could mean confiscation if an illegal alien was just on the property," Thornpson added. He said many association members helped convince Rep. Lamar Smith to remove the objectionable language from the House bill, but they have had no such luck with Sen. Allen Simpson of Wyoming, sponsor of the Senate bill. "Our biggest win in the last Texas Legislature was our new state property rights law," said Thompson. He commended Rep. Susan Combs, a TSCRA director, for leading the charge in the legislature and Sen. Teel Bivens and-TSCRA attorney Ed Small for their efforts in the victory. But more challenges are ongoing, Thompson said in describing the Edwards Aquifer Controversy. In August a suit was filed by the Medina County Underground Water District alleging that the latest state law passed by the legislature which set up an elected state board to operate the aquifer is unconstitutional. • "TSCRA intervened on behalf of our members living over the aquifer," Thompson said. The association's attorney Ed Small, led the effort to strike down the law and the district court found in the Underground Water District's and TSCRA's behalf. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court and was argued last week.' "We are now awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court. This decision may have a dramatic effect on the right of landowners, with regard to their underground water," Thompson emphasized. TSCRA also continues to be concerned about the Texas Prison Systems use of Vita Pro, a Canadian soybean substitute for beef and chicken. On Nov. 7, Thompson wrote a letter to Gov. George W. Bush questioning the prisons system's use of this product and the sale of cattle raised by the prisons on Texas markets. "I explained how cheap beef is and questioned whether Vita Pro is really cheaper," Thompson said. "The governor's investigation has uncovered a stinky mess that has become an embarrassment to

crease in the amount of beef produced per animal, high grain prices, the large number of cattle imported from Mexico and the drought in Texas and Oklahoma have all contributed to the low cattle prices. Cattle-Fax market analyst Topper Thorpe said herd reduction will begin this year and continue for the next two years. Cattle producers were commended for their environmental stewardship in the Natural Resources and Environment Committee meeting. Barry McBee, chairman of the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, stated his intent for the commission to promote flexibility and common sense in achieving environmental goals. He said he will specifically ex-

tend this approach to agriculture hd its related industries, recognizing that farmers and ranchers were stewards of the land long before the environmental movement came into fashion. Dr. Margaret Maxey of The University of Texas also recognized agricultures role in protecting the environment. Scientific progress and sound planning will also ensure "the health of animals in the future, said Dr. Kelly Preston of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. He said cooperative industry, state and federal planning will ensure that the United States avoids an animal health epidemic in the future.

Children's immunization rate still low, study finds Only 55 percent of Texas children under age two have had all recommended immunizations, according to a study published in the March Issue of Texas Medicine. The article concluded that special initiatives are needed to improve immunization rates among certain, ethnic and low-income populations. Texas Medicine is the official news magazine of Texas Medical Association. The article was based on a 1994 immunization survey that included 4,552 in-person interviews with parents or legal guardians of children aged three to 24 months. , Although the study showed progress jsheing madejinjncreasing'immunaation rates" thVauthors"* said much work remains to be done. The survey showed that "Hispanic children, children enrolled in Women, Int'anLs, and Children programs and children living in border communities had the highest levels of immunizations in the state. Special outreach programs along the Texas-Mexico border may have played a role in those high immunization rates. Immunization rates among African-American children, and children on Medicaid and Aid top Families with Dependent Children were below statewide averages. Also, children with no health insurance and those with private insurance had equivalent immunization levels. Children should have at least three immunization visits in the. first year of life and one visit in the second year to receive the recommended doses of diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTP), oral polio (OPV), Haemophilus influenza type b (HIB), hepatitis B, and measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccines.

The Grammy-winning singer and. another artist, Emilio Navaira (now just Emilio), dominated the 1996 Tejano Music Awards, winning 12 of 16 categories. Each received six awards. Two of the artists honored, Pete Astudillo and Stefani, are being considered by Marfa Chamber of Commerce directors for this year's Marfa Lights Festival Concert on Labor Day weekend. Selena was awarded female vocalist and entertainer of the year. Other awards included song of the year, 'Tu Solo Tu,' and overall, album for her crossover CD, 'Dreaming of You,' which reportedly has sold more then 2.5 million copies. The singer's fatal shooting at a Corpus Christi motel on March 31, .1995, by her former fan club president horrified fans and family members. Yolanda Saldivar was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison. Selena and Emilio have, since the early 1990s, helped Tejano become one of America's fastest growing genres, generating large recording sales and concert revenue. Aspecial six-minute video trib-

ute to Selena was shown on two large video monitors at the Alamodome. Emilio won male vocalist and entertainer of the year, his Tejano country song, 'It's Not The End Of The World,' and progressive conjunto album, 'Sound Life,' among other awards. Astudillo, who sang backup for Selena y Los Dinos until he embarked on a solo career in 1994, won most promising band honors. Astudillo's remembrance of Selena, '.Come Te Extrano,' which .he wrote with the singer's brother, A.B. Quintanilla III. is still high on the charts. Singer and. actress Maria Conchita Alonso was host of the awards show. Texas Gov. George Bush also made an appearance during the Texas Talent Musicians Association event.
