The Alpine Fightin’ Bucks varsity football team dominated the Anthony Wildcats in a 55-18 blowout victory at Buck Stadium on Friday night, September 27. The Bucks put together a strong performance on both sides of the ball, beginning district play at 1-0.

Alpine hosted its annual Big Bend Mountain Ramble cross-country race this past Saturday, and runners from all over West Texas came to compete. The race was held at Kokernot Park, which is a great venue for spectators and a chance for the runners to get in some hill training.

The U.S. Constitution may very well have been an attempt to subdue negative traits of human nature, with four of those being greed, despotism, cowardice, and foolishness. There are more, yet these four may be the most harmful. Thomas Jefferson warned that the U.S. Republic could turn into an “Elective Despotism.” John Adams said the U.S. Constitution was written for a “Moral and Religious People.” Seeing the growing number of despots, the decline of morals, and a growing contempt toward true Jews and Christians in the U.S., we might deem Tom and John to be prophets. If God did bless America, then his free will does exist because false Democrats, RINOS, and other reprobates have done a good job of crapping all over God’s blessing and the U.S. Constitution. Elections are coming in November. May there be enough true Jews, real Judeo-Christians, and other God-fearing moral people with clear thinking who will be voting in 2024? May they overcome an assault of the many self-serving control freaks and God-hating ghouls in the USA. Maybe then God will see clearly to bless America once more.

“Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind, On old dogs and children, and watermelon wine. — song lyrics by Tom T.

At a Borderlands Research Institute staff meeting recently, one of our researchers commented about some “cowboy science” he had recently conducted— a simple comparison of whether native grasses grew better with or without mulch. He didn’t take precise measurements, but he learned that mulch made a difference.

First responders from Terlingua Fire and EMS, along with members of the Marathon VFD, and area park rangers train constantly to improve skills and response time to the myriad of situations they can encounter in the Big Bend region.
