When one of our fallen soldiers came home recently, the Midland chapter of the Patriot Guard put out a call for flag bearers. No one showed up to support that family. Therefore, we have started our own chapter of the Patriot Guard which will cover Brewster, Presidio and Jeff Davis counties. You do not have to be a veteran, you do not need to ride a motorcycle. You do need to be able to support the family of one of our fallen soldiers. If interested, please contact Richard Whitebear at (432) 371-2134 or Michael Heidebrecht at (432) 371-2136. We have 50 flags that we can use at the funerals and would like to have enough persons to run out of flags. Hopefully we do not need to ever use them. Please come join us in support of our fallen soldiers and their families.

…across the international bridge to the plaza in Ojinaga, Mexico. escorted by officials from the Mexican Consulate.
The appearance is part of an effort to draw attention to the Monarch butterflies that migrate each year to Mexico, and the challenges they face.

This is gospel. If you got down, and up, this last weekend in Terlingua, besides the dining halls, the music scene was something else. The Porch rocked at its peak Saturday afternoon, fiddlers from as far away as Oregon sitting in with locals on harmonica and fiddle. On Sunday morning, Michael Coombs (left) of northern New Mexico brought his guitar and accordian to the table at Ghostown Cafe for two hours of gospel, opening with a rousing "When the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there." This music has become a weekly happening at the cafe, beginning at 10 a.m. One patron showed up after losing her purse, and others chipped in for breakfast in the spirit of the day. Not meaning to be trite, one musician said of the weekend, "It doesn't get any better than this." (From the Alpine Daily Planet, Photo and report from Carlton Leatherwood)
