The disgraced sheriff and his

that was left to be decided was
for how long.
Sheriff Rick's supporters had
thinned out, both at home and
in the courtroom, and only his

were there to plead for mercy
and hope for a light sentence.
Some of Robert Chamber's
family members were there,
stoic and expecting the worst.
The courtroom was crowded,
the air was heavy, although it
was unusually cool for a May

Let the healing process begin
The Marfa coke bust tore this community apart.
Who would believe a career law enforcement officer, a family
man, a youth leader, a local hero, would lead a separate life as a
dope-smuggler?
But it happened. It's now time for a fresh start.
Our former Sheriff Rick Thompson pled guilty in February to
importing 2,400 pounds of pure Colombian coke.
He reaffirmed his guilt at his sentencing Friday in Pecos federal
court.
'
He was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
His friends and family believe the sentence was too harsh.
Others say it was proper.
The Sentinel believes the sentence was justified. It's just too bad
the family assumes the sentence as well. They don't deserve it,
and our heart and prayers go out to Barbara Jean, Alan, Wendi
and Tallian.
The sentence is proper because Rick betrayed his badge and the
public trust. The amount of cocaine - one ton and one-quarter also factors in to the sentence. That's almost 10 tons of death and
destruction by the time the drug would have been cut and sold on
the streets to our kids and young adults.
Barbara Jean, Alan and Wendi testified Friday that Rick is a
good man, a good father. They conceded he made a tragic and
gigantic mistake, but only one.
But what a mistake.
Rick's supporters could never believe what had occurred. Surely
he was framed, or this whole scenario was part of a bigger
federal plan to further drug interdiction in Far West Texas.
They were lied to, misled and abused by Rick.
There should be no grudges held against his friends - our
neighbors and fellow Marfa, Presidio and Presidio County
residents. We all should have friends like that.
It's time to find new heros and those we can look up to as
leaders. One by one, our former hercfe - law enforcement
officers, politicians, sports figures and religious leaders - have
fallen from grace.
New heros are out there. They are loving mothers and fathers,
raising and teaching their children well.
They say time heals all wounds. Let's hope so.
Let the healing process begin with understanding, open hearts
and prayers.

Satellites split with Alpine
Twinbill divided as Outlaws
open season in new uniforms
The Outlaws, sporting their
new uniforms, traveled to Alpine and split a doubleheader
against a strong Alpine team.
The Outlaws won the first
game 7 to 6 and lost the
nightcap 14 to 4.
In the first game, with Alpine
leading 5 to 1, the Outlaw bats
came to life as they scored four
runs in the third inning to-tie
the game. Scoring runs in that
big inning for Marfa were
Nelly Garza, Crystal Simpson,
Nancy Garcia and Anna
Sanchez. Getting outstanding
play from second baseman
Minerva Leos, shortstop Nancy
Garcia, left fielder Sandra
Granado, right fielder Liza
Marquez and the clutch pitching
of Linda Knight the Outlaws
held Alpine to just one run the
last three innings. With Alpine
leading by one run the Outlaws
came to bat for the last time to
win it in dramatic fashion.
Sandra Granado and Linda
Knight drew walks, Joan
Aguirre followed with an infield single to load the bases.
This brought up Nelly Garza
who laid off some very close
pitches to draw a very important walk to bring in the tying
run by Sandra Granado. Crystal
Simpson came to bat needing
just a hit to win the game. On
the first pitch she drilled a
sharp single to left field to drive-
in the winning run scored by
Joan Aguirre.
Winning pitcher for the Outlaws was Linda Knight.
In the second game, Viola
Villanueva was the starting
pitcher for the Outlaws with
Ellen Melvin doing the catching.
The Outlaws played very good
defense buy Alpine hit the ball
better in scoring a 14 to 4 triumph.
The score could have been
worse if it hadn't been for the
hustling play of sisters, Laura
and Sandra Granado who made
some great catches in the outfield. Amalia Garcia played a
strong game at third base as she
fielded some hard hits. Joan
Aguirre and Ellen Melvin also
played outstanding defense.
Scoring runs for the Outlaws
were Nancy Garcia, Sandra
Granado, Anna Sanchez and
Nelly Garza
Sylvia Zubiate, Lori Roman
and Betty Leos. Some daisy
defensive plays by Bertha Sbuffield and Sarah Villa preserved
the lead going into the bottom
of the last inning.
Alpine rallied with three runs
to make it 5 to 4 with two outs
and a runner on second. A hard
hit ball to the outfield brought
the runner toward home only to
find Linda Roman planted firmly in front of the plate with the
relayed throw. The collision
sent the gritty catcher sprawling
but holding on to the ball and
the umpire called the runner
out. The Satellites had their 5th
win against two losses for the
season.
Sandy Billingsley, who had
played third base in the opener,
picked up the win to go 4 and 1
for the season.

Defensive pressure by Sandra

Yvonne Zubiate's usual display

The Marfa Satellites won one
of two games last Thursday
night, losing the opener 7 to 5
and taking the nightcap 5-4.
The opener was a power
hitter's game. Alpine blasted
three home runs over the Coffield fence. The Satellites, led
by Yvonne Zubiate, Cookie
Brisbin and Gina Rivera, battled back to tie the game in the
third. Two crucial fielding errors opened the door for four
more Alpine scores and Alpine
chalked up the victory.
Yvette Qntiveroz took the
loss, evening her record at one

Texana Dames to open
summer concert series
The Texana Dames
ine I exana uames
Soviet views through eyes
of children opens at museum
The Texana Dames from Austin will kick off the Chinati
Foundation '92 outdoor summer concert series on Sunday, June 7.
Time and place will be announced soon.
Charlene Hancock, Traci Lamar and Conni Hancock form the
nucleus of a band whose musical mastery ranges from traditional
country to Cajun, R&B, polkas, conjunto, salsa and rock 'n' roll,
with a strong core of original material.
Now based in Austin • where they have placed high in the
prestigious Austin Chronicle magazine music poll for several
years - the Texana Dames have cultivated a loyal following across
the Southwest, and recently released their first recording in
Europe (on Sonet Records) and the United States. Although this
offering is the first Texana Dames release, the family trio are
veteran performers and recording artists with seven albums as
The Supernatural Family Band.
Individually and collectively, the Texana Dames are talented
musicians, songwriters and performing artists. Charlene Hancock,
who along with husband, Tommy, is cited by former Cricket
Sonny Curtis as "a.strong influence on Buddy (Holly) and us all"
has been performing and recording for more than 30 years. Conni
Hancock, a player/performer since her teens, was a finalist in the
Austin Songwriter Competition and plays pedal steel, guitar and
mellobar. Conni's growing repertoire of original music uses to
best advantage the distinctive harmonies of this group. Traci
Lamar, another strong lead singer, plays synthesizer and
accordion, and specializes in Latin/Mexican music. Traci has
recorded an entire album of her Spanish-influenced material.
The Partners of the Americas invited the band to tour Peru in a
cultural exchange program.
The trio will be joined by fiddle and guitar player Eric
Hokkanen and drummer Paul Mills.
The summer outdoor concert series is partially funded.by Cross
Pharmacy of Marfa and Marfa TV Cable.

concerts, please contact the foundation at 915/729-4362.

Study to focus on rail line
Researchers at the Texas
Transportation Institute are conducting a study of the impact
rait line abandonments on affected communities and businesses.
The focus of the study is on
the Texas Orient Railroad Line
between the Texas-Oklahoma
border and the Texas-Mexico
border. The recent attention
given the potential abandonment and sale of the Texas
Orient Line, which includes
some 5 8 0 miles of railroad
serving seventeen West Texas
counties, points out the need to
a s s i s t shippers and local
government-entities in the
preservation of rural rail freight
service.
The U.S. railroad industry is
going through a transition
period. As labor and energy
costs .have continued to increase
and the trucking industry has
become more competitive, large
segments of the rail system are
no longer economically viable.
Wfch the relaxation of Federal
regulations for the abandonment
of light-density rail lines, the
major U.S. railroads have identified thousands of miles of
track for either sale or abandonment. Although the best alternative use of most rail line
segments being offered for sale
is the continuation of freight
service, this is frequently not
the final and best use madeof
the properties.
There is an increasing demand
for used track structure material
with the increasing number of
shortline railroads, making the
alternative to scrap the acquired
rail properties a more attractive
reason for purchasing the rail
facilities than the continuation
of rail service on the line.
T h r o u g h t h e s t u d y , researchers will determine the social, economic, energy and
environmental impact of abandonment and identify state
agencies that have the resources
to assist local governmental entities in the evaluation of alternatives for the preservation of
local rail freight service.-

Bonilla says Bustamante should
reveal amount of kited checks
MARFA]
FORT DAVIS *
Henry Bonilla, Republican candidate for. the 23rd Congressional District Seat; said
Tuesday in Marfa and Fort
Davis that Congressman Albert
Bustamante should reveal the
dollar amounts of the bad
checks he has written to the
now-defunct House Bank.
Recently, the House Ethics
Committee disclosed that Bustamante bounced thirty checks,
contrary to the Congressman's
claims.
"First, Bustamante said he
only had a-couple of bad
checks, then it was 15\Jhen
257. and heTblanTed the^ bad
bookkeeping on his wife. Now,
we find out he bounced 30
checks," Bonilla says. "So why
should we believe him when he
says the checks total less than
$10,000?"
Odessa couple arrested at Marfa
checkpoint with marijuana
Bonijla says Bustamante
should reveal the dollar
amounts of the checks, when
they were written, to whom
they were written, and when
they, were cashed.
WUhout this information the
American people cannot determine if any member of Congress violated ethical or
criminal statutes, like bank
fraud or. undisclosed personal
loans to their campaigns, Bonilla says.
"Bustamante expects everyone
to take his word, but the voters
want to know how and where
thj^pubjic official is spending
his money - especially since it
is money coming out of a bank
that was ridden with abuse.
They are entitled to full disclosure," Bonilla says.
"If he has nothing to hide,
why doesn't he show it all?"

auspices of AFRED, is dedicated to the training of propane
technicians and to further fuel
sales in Texas. Members of this
division were appointed by the

Buchmeyer said he would consider a reduction in

During Chambers' sentencing,
defense attorney Rod Ponton
objected to numerous points in
his client's pre-sentence report
that enhanced the severity of
the sentence.
Buchmeyer denied most of
Ponton's objections.

weapons employed by Chambers were present when Chanv

informant crossed the drugs

Ponton called Beery to the

Beery also testified that

"Many law enforcement officers have been helped on both
sides of the border" by Chambers, Ponton told the judge.
Chambers statement to Buchmeyer was brief. "I didn't want

pay my debt (to society)."
Just before he was sentenced,
Chambers added, "I'm sorry. I
