C enizo Not es
by Carolyn Zniewski, publisher and Danielle Gallo, editor
T
his issue is the
fourth since I
became pub-
lisher. I've enjoyed
almost every bit of it. I
couldn't have done it
without the great Cenizo
crew.
Contessa
Danielle, editor and
advertising manager,
whose knowledge and
ability have been indispensable. Fairy Queen
Lou, whose business expertise has kept us on
course. Wendy, Artistic Graphics Maven who
brings her skill to every page. Astronaut Jenny
who sends our copy off to the internet.
Charlie, the Pick-up Truck Cowboy who not
only does ‘Trivia’ but drives all over He!! and
gone putting the Cenizo on the newsstands.
And I can't forget our stringers; Jeff in
Sanderson and Jim in Fort Stockton. A tip of
my hat to all the writers, photographers and
artists, both regular and irregular, who fill the
pages with such excellent work. A special
shout out to the local business folks who have
such great advertising that folks comment on
how much they enjoy the commercial pages. I
can't forget Dallas, who started it all and my
Ex ZZ who spied the possibility and encour-
aged me to jump in. Last but not least, my
daughter Maya and grandson Ian who have
had my back. A New Year’s Toast to all of you
and so many friends and neighbors. Good
Health, Good Fortune, Good Family and
Friends!!
Airplanes, birds, travel and books – this
issue is a jam-packed read. With our incredi-
ble winter sunsets and long dark evenings,
you'll have plenty of time to let your intellect
fly. Be sure to eat black-eyed peas before
Groundhog's Day. Oh yes, I could use a
stringer in the historic district of El Paso. Let’s
do e-mail!

just
aving
passed
the
shortest day
of the year, I’m so
looking forward to
that slow elongation
of our daylight hours,
those days when the
perfect chill stillness of
a lemon winter sunset
begins to give way to
the gentler pinks of Spring. Don’t mind me if
I wax poetic—winter is a hard one for me,
which is why I’m always pleased to find myself
in the Trans-Pecos. I know we’re still a little
ways off from our springtime weather, but
having turned the corner of 2014 I can feel it
rushing on towards us—bluebonnets and
Spring Break, the return of the vinegaroons,
packing all those bulky, static-y sweaters back
up into the closet. Right now, while we’re still
in hibernation mode, contentedly storing
away all the holiday cookies and eggnog
against a bitter windy day, is the perfect time
to sit and enjoy Cenizo. What else is there to do
when it gets dark so early?
This issue has a bit of everything, the better
to keep one’s mind active while drowsing
away the winter doldrums. Should the lights
go out again for a couple of days, the Cenizo
requires no battery! We hope you enjoy it with
the last of your Christmas turkey and that final
glass of New Year’s champagne; For auld lang
syne!

Correction:
Two sharp eyed readers spotted a substan-
tial error in the “Bow Hunting Free Range
Aoudad story.” The line should have read “At
just over 20 yards the guide signals to stop.” It
read 200 yards. We try our best to proof our
copy carefully. I'm afraid that extra 0 got away
from us.
