Marie's Musing!
By Marie Heim
Rattlesnakes are still crawling!
Larry Walker killed one on his
place this weekend. He wanted
everyone to be aware they should
still be on the lookout for the
poisonous reptiles.
With the world beginning to slow
down for winter, it’s hard to realize
the snakes have not hibernated
yet....but they haven’t. They are still
roaming the woods, and the yards,
just like many other wild creatures,
mh
One of the marvels about living
in this part of the world is all the
wildlife which roams near my
home.
In the woods south of my house
there is a large flock of wild
turkeys. Each year I get to watch
the young one grow (sorta) since
they are often running across or
down the road when I am leaving
or coming in from work.
In the same area, I have to
watch for skunks, coons, armadil-
los, possums, deer, and foxes. I
don’t have to watch for Charlie
Chicken the Roadrunner, for he
easily stays ahead of me. And al-
though I hear them often, I have
not ever seen the coyotes who live
nearby.
mh
I think what I find most amazing
is how often I see these different
animals.
In many of the places I lived
when I was was a child, our wildlife
consisted of several varieties of
birds and jackrabbits. In some
places we also had skunks, or an-
telope, or coyotes.
Our birds were usually earth
colored, so I really enjoy the vibrant
red of the Cardinals and the rich
blues of the Blue Jays who live on
my place. I also enjoy watching the
hummingbirds dart among the
flowers at my parent’s house,
mh
During this time of the year, I
also have the opportunity to
watch the trees prepare for win-
ter. Each day I find more yellow,
red and brown among the green
leaves.
On the Texas plains, there are
very few trees so the rich fall
colors of Central Texas seem like
a painting to those of us who grew
up there. Although it doesn’t hap-
pen every year, we should be en-
joying a beautiful arrangement of
autumn colors very soon.
How quickly time passes, for in
just a few short weeks it will be
winter, a whole new season to ap-
preciate.
mh
I want to extend a very special
thank you to Zack Wairen, a
sophomore at Dublin High School
who is on the annual staff. He did
our darkroom work for us this week.
Brush pick up
begins Nov. 1
Dublin’s annual Fall Brush Pick Up will be held the first week of
November.
City residents should put their brush on the curb away from all obstruc-
tions so it can be picked up with backhoc forks. City workers will only
pick up brush and limbs. They*foill not be collecting trash, metal or trees.
‘The brush needs to be out on the curb the first week of November,”
said Ken Jumcy, water, sewer and street superintendent. “Once we’ve
been through a neighborhood, we will not go back to pick up brush.”
City workers will run every street in the Dublin city limits. They plan to
pick up the heaviest areas first.

4-H Club Reports
By Bryan Darts
National 4-H Week is over, and
what a week it has been for Erath
County—from the great awards that
were presented to the 4-Hers of
Erath County to the dairy judging
team placing seventh in the nation.
Also on OcL 8, Erath County
horse judging team consisting of
Karmen Hall, Cliff Hall, Craig
Barker and Monty Renfro was third
out of 64 teams in the horse judging
contest at the Heart of Texas Fair.
Another outstanding 4-Her who
has brought home some prizes to
Erath County is Katy Renfro who
was the high point 8-and-under at
the Brownwood Horse Show. In
gaining her high point status, she
was first in grade marc halter divi-
sion, first in showmanship, first in
horsemanship, second in western

pleasure for 19-year-olds and under.
My big congratulations go out to
all of these youngesters for all the
recongition they have brought to
