U.S. Congressman Charlie Sten-
holm made a campaign stop in
Dublin last week to announce this
candidacy for re-election to the
House of Representatives.
He was greeted by constituents
and fellow Democratic candidates
during a stop at Three Oaks Retire-
ment Center.
The veteran congressman cited
several accomplishments of the
past year in Congress, including
passage of legislation that will
balance the federal budget.
"I’m proud that after all these
years that I have been fighting for
a balanced budget, Washington
finally came around to our Texas
way of thinking about the budget -
putting it into balance," he said.
Stenholm is the ranking member
of the House Agriculture Commit-
tee, a position which has involved
him in agricultural legislation and
programs such as rural water de-
velopment and boll weevil eradica-
tion.
He ranked rural health as a top

Wc hope everyone lias had a
happy new year so far. As we
pause and look back on 1997, it
was a great year.
Wc had a wonderful Christmas.
We want to say thank you to so
many people for making it a big
Christmas for our residents.
Ihanks to all the churches, the
Clothes Closet, Wal-Mart, Santa,
those who decorated doors, and the
groups that came for caroling and
visiting.
Our Cluistmas party was a big
success and you helped make it
possible. The smiles on their faces
said it all. Now that the holidays
arc over, don't forget the residents
and shut-ins. They love company
even when there is not a holiday.
Wc especially want to tliank our
regular volunteers. You make the
days go by so fast and bring so
much enjoyment.
Wc had two residents join us in
December. We extend a big wel-
come to Wahneeta Crabtree and
Gordon Hill.
Residents having birthdays this
month arc Lillie Bolden, Ruth
Heaton and Fannie Caudle.
Our birthday party will be
Wednesday, Jan. 21 at 2:30 p.ra.
Come join us for cake and punch.
Coyotes are the primary hosts for
the virus which is easily spread to
domestic animals and to people,
but gray foxes are also targeted.
The small rectangular baits con-
taining the vaccine are made of
fish meal and dog food and are
harmless to other animals and
humans.
In* 1994, the year before the
coyote baits were first dropped,
166 cases of canine rabies were
recorded. Since then, the number
has dropped 98 percent to only
three cases in 1997. Now up to 87
percent of the coyote population
has been immunized and no cases
have been reported north of the
bait drop zones.
Since 1990, five people have
died of rabies in Texas and more
than 2,500 people have taken post-
exposure injections of rabies vac-
cine after being exposed to a
potentially rabid animal. Though
treatment is effective if given in
time, once rabies develops, it is
always fatal in humans.
The bait is dropped from bright
yellow Canadian-built Twin Otters,
operated by the Ontario Ministry
of Natural Resources. Flights are
initialed from Alice, Odessa and
Bumet.

MUSEUM MATTERS
By Mary Yantis
More than 1300 guests have windows. Not only are these attrac-

months it lias been open. What a /p^ep^l, from excessive light and
fantastic record and tremendous > help, reduce utility expenses. No
tribute to the more than 40 volun-
teers who have been hosts and
hostesses to keep the museum open
EVERY DAY from one to five.
Each week there are people saying,
"Wc didn't know you were open on
Saturday and Sunday, too." (Please
help pass the word: the museum IS
OPEN seven days a week. And, it
pays to stop in pretty often to see
what is new!)
It is a special pleasure Iiaving
folks sec the museum for the first
time and say, "This is tremendous.
It brings back so many memories."
Going back to read the register
comments inspires the volunteer
crews to continue working, know-
ing what they are doing is truly
appreciated and worthwhile: "Con-
gratulations upon a wonderful ad-
dition to Dublin." Another wrote,
"I get a thrill out of this every time
I come in.” A third wrote, "I loved
it. You can tell a lot of work has
been put into this museum." And a
good friend of the museum, who
comes by regularly, said just this
past week, "Isn't it great? Dublin is
making a comeback with all of
these wonderful things happening.”
lie said that as he came by to
praise Hie "new" windows! The
eight beautiful decorative-glass
windows were given to the mu-
seum by Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Martin
after he repaired and painted them.
Several years ago, Mr. Martin
bought them in San Angelo as a
church was being tom down. Dub-
lin's good fortune is that he saved
them, then shared them with the
Dublin Historical Museum. Add to
that the good fortune of having
James Smith and J.W. Davis as
two super-craftsmen who donate
untold hours to historical society
projects and who fashioned the
design and installation of the win-
dows inside the original plate glass

one should miss seeing this hand-
some addition! Like our friend
said, "wonderful things" are hap-
pening in Dublin, Texas.
With the new year, many are
renewing their $15 individual or
$25 couple dues and several are
just now finding out about the
historical society or are just uow
"getting around to it" and joining.
Mr. and Mrs. John Merrill of
Crowley sent a donation in
memory of his cousin, Mildred
McKnight, in addition to renewing
their membership. Then, in a tele-
phone conversation, Mr. Merrill
indicated a great interest in all
three of the historical society prop-
erties (the new museum, the Lyon
building, and Wright Park which
includes the Miller Grist Mill.)
The upcoming (Feb. 28) Histori-
cal Happening III, sponsored by
the historical society, lias already
generated substantial interest. Last
Thursday, those attending the first
planning meeting for "Dubliners
Remember the World War II
Years" were Scott Phillips, Karen
Lott, Elizabeth and Gerald Cook,
O.W. Jones, Barbara Beau, Frail
and Ken Jumey, Ina Vaye Cowan,
Dr. Charles Crabtree, Jimmy Sikes,
Gene Maikeil, Karen Wright, John
Vines, Red Seigars, and Mary
Yantis. Anyone wanting to help,
please call or come by the museum
and/or plan to attend the Feb. 4
meeting at 5:30 at the museum.
(Even the planning meetiug gets
exciting: O.W. Jones showed his
collection of artifacts and recited
President Roosevelt'^ Dec. 8, 1941
declaratiou-of-war speech; Eliza-
beth Cook showed her uncle's pic-
ture, the flag from his funeral, and
stories from her family; and Bar-
bara Beaii shared numerous impor-
tant documents, pictures, and sto-
ries. It all helped to inspire those
planning the next Historical Hap-
pening.)
Not everything happening at 116
West Blackjack is visible from the
street, though some may spy lad-
ders in the alley and rock-wall-
repair being done. Step inside and
ask to see the "new room" also
being constructed by Smith and
Davis. By June, and the Dublin
Area Reunion, a major expansion
will be completed. (And by then,
attendance records may well reach
2,000 for our first year - with
YOUR help. Come; bring your
family and friends; and recommend
a visit to others.)
