mule deer from a public road
in connection with an incident
along FM 2810. A third fine of
S56 was levied on a chargcof
failure to keep edible portions
of wild mule deer in an edible
condition.
Jerry Dean Barton, a resident of the Houston area, was
fined S206 by Elmendorf on
each of two charges filed by
game wardens Sunday —
failure to tag mule deer
immediately after killing, and
killing buck deer over the legal
limit of one per hunter. Barton
also was fined S56 for failure to
retrieve all edible portions of a
deer.
His father, Jerry J. Barton,
also was fined $56 on a failure
to retrieve charge in connection with a separate incident.
The elder Barton also was
fined $206 for failure to tag a
mule deer.

Dig that ditch. Pack the charge. Fill that ditch, blow the
charge, dig that ditch out again. According to City Supt. Jim
Turner, the City of Marfa has two crawler backhoes working
' on the se'wer'lines near Golf Course Road. After visiting withTurner, one can see why the work is moving at a slow pace —
there are a lot of large hard rocks in the way. Completion, he
says, will just depend on how many rocks are encountered.

Jim Sullivan of Marfa and Circle M Construction Company of
Andrews are doing the ditch work for the City of Marfa. Jake
Brisbin Sr. and Jake Brisbin Jr. are doing the dynamite work.
Brisbin Sr. said at this time they have used over 300 sticks of
dynamite. For safety reasons the holes have to be covered
before shooting the charge of dynamite.
......
Ten local residents who are
specialists in various fields
have been chosen as panelists
for a special town meeting set
for 7 p.m. next Wednesday.
The town meeting, to be
held in Marfa Activity Center,
was inspired by the Public
Broadcasting System's Nov. 2
and 9 two-part television
special, "The Chemical People." The celebrity-studded
show was designed to encourage active opposition by
American citizens to drug and
alcohol abuse.
The Marfa meeting will
consist of panel 'discussion
followed by a question and
answer period for the audience, said Linda Turner, one
of the meeting organizers.
Marfa High School Principal
Bryan LaBeff will act as
moderator for the panel, which
also will include:
MHS seniors Cori Blanco
and Daniel Branson; MHS
counselor Joyce Lamb; MHS
social studies teacher Harold
Steele: parent and MHS
teacher Juan Uuminguez; and
Texas Department of Public
Safety Narcotics Officer Bill
Fort.
Also on the panel will be the
Rev. Jimmy Smith, counselor
and pastor. Baptist River
Ministry: Marfa family practitioner Dr. Harold Fain: and
psychologist Jo Ann Sanchez
of Alpine.
The panelists met late
Tuesday afternoon to prepare
for next week's meeting.
The goal of the town
meeting. Mrs. Turner says, is
• to bring discussion of local
school-age drug and alcohol
abuse into the open and to
seek solutions. Organizers
want to convince Marfa area
residents of "The Chemical
People" 's message that drug
abuse in a community affects
every one of its residents.
The meeting is open to
parents, teen-agers and all
other concerned citizens. .
New law stiffens ambulance requirements
A new Texas ambulance law
states that, effective Jan. 1,
1984. all Texas communities
must comply with minimum
standards of training and
certification of emergency
medical care personnel.
Metropolitan areas of Texas
traditionally have provided
emergency medical care
through trained and certified
emergency medical care personnel, but small towns and
rural areas have depended
heavily on volunteers.
Variances will be granted to
small communities and rural
areas that can prove hardship
ithat they have only one
person available for emer-
gency medical care). These
communities will then have to
demonstrate efforts to comply
with the standards.
The City of Marfa will not
seek a variance at present,
according to City Secretary
Shelagh M. Abbott, because
West Texas Ambfliuncc Service meets the new standards
in Marfa.
The Alpine-based services
provides one certified full-time
emergency care attendant in
Marfa, plus'an ambulance
driver. One ambulance is
based in Marfa.

'Artisans' will personalize your treasures
As of today, the city of
Marfa has another alley on the
map. But this one is a little
different.
It is Artisan's Alley, where
you can make your mark on
your favorite things.
The "Alley" is actually a
corner, location 215 N. Highland Ave. Opposite City Hall.
It is also a merchandise
showroom.and office for the
three enterprising Marfa women who comprise Artisan's
Alley. They are Roxa Robison,
Barbara Wheelis and Sara
White.
They offer to custom personalize cloth, pottery and
other items with a name.

one-of-a-kind design — theirs
or one submitted by a
customer.
They also plan to use the
Alley to showcase an artist a
month, pulling in regional as
well as local talent. "» .
One thing they will not do.
says Mrs. White firmly: "No
tattoos."
The women have been
involved in the personalizing
business for the past 6 to 8
months, and other dealers
currently carry their products
on a commission basis.
Artisan's Alley was opened
in response to demand by
potential customers who were
heading out of town to satisfy
their artistic special requests.
Mrs. White says.
Although Artisan's Alley
earlier this week consisted so
far of little more than largely
empty office space, the artisan's had some samples of
their work on hand.
Mrs. White uses a regular
sewing machine to fashion —
freehand! — monograms in
elaborate script or various
designs, a brand or even a
windmill, on shirt pockets and
cuffs, towels and linens.

WILLIAM BURTON AND MATTIE McKIE MITCHELL
William Burton "Burt" Mitchell and Mattie McKie met
while they were attending Caramel Institute in San Marcos,
Texas. They were married In San'Marcos on Dec. 20. 1893.
The Mitchells were the parents of six children: F. McKie.
Jean M„ Burton, Joe C , W. Hayes and Laura (Mrs. Atwood
Austin).
Mattie and Burt traveled a great deal during their life
together, taking both business and pleasure trips.
In the summer of 1913, the W.B. Mitchells and the J B .
Pruetts shared a vacation trip to Canada. The men were eager
to attend the worldrenowned rodeo, the Calgary Stampede.
Mattie was not a rodeo fan so was not impressed with the
stampede. The experience of attending a silent moving
picture the day before had been more to her liking. Burt, on
the other hand, enjoyed the event and was especially
impressed with the performance of the woman roper.
W.B. and Mettle Mitchell
Mattie made this amusing entry in her diary: "Saw the
wonderful girl roper. Miss Marthal; she roped her steer in
33¼ seconds and broke its leg."
As were the other Mitchell women, Mattie was a leader in

Ms. Coleman has been
working with school personnel since'September to design
and build a playground at the
Candelaria School. Candelaria
is about 50 miles upriver from
Presidio.
The project came about
when PISD teachers Tip
Chesney and Johnnie Chambers took Ms. Coleman's
kindergarten classes during
the summer sessions and
approached her to look at the
school's playground area and
make suggestions.
Plans for the equipment
include a central climbing
structure, _ balance beams of
different types, tire swings,
steppers, tire climbers and
tunnels. For the older children, there will be a physical
fitness area that contains
equipment for strength, flexibility and agility skill building.
"There is a need for this
type of playground," Ms.
Coleman said, "because of the
wide range of ages involved in
the school and the fact that
many of these children do not
get to experience these types
of interactions. -It is good
developmentaliy for them to
have areas that enhance
eye-hand-foot coordination
and to have areas that
encourage the children to
participate in dramatic play
situations."
Ms. Coleman said that by
adding props in the form of the
playground equipment, "the
children's experience can be
extended through play since
many of them are not exposed
to the traditional types of
experiences like children who
live in less isolated areas.
Many of these children have
not even had exposure to the
world through television since
it does not exist there."
