La Entrada planners fault opponents' 'scare tactics'
[MyWestTexas.com] "MOTRAN President James Beauchamp said Friday that the Big Bend Sierra Club and its supporters are trying to stop the plan with these falsehoods, among others: That numerous Midlanders will profit and "are spending millions" to promote the project; That the pristine environments of Marfa and Alpine will be destroyed by "thousands" of trucks rumbling through their downtown areas; That the commercial traffic will threaten the Big Bend's populace and bucolic lifestyle by "carrying in disease and drugs." "If you read a lot of things coming out, particularly with the Alpine group, there are tremendous inaccuracies," Beauchamp said. "They've accused us of spending millions lobbying and if you look at MOTRAN since its inception 14 years ago, I don't think you could add up $1 million or even get close..."
Leisha Hailey’s Hangin’ in La Cucina
[Windy City Media Group] "While Leisha Hailey has earned raves for her delightful portrayal of neurotic bisexual radio host Alice Pieszecki on Showtime’s The L Word, she’s been spending more time between seasons working on music (the onetime member of The Murmurs has her own label, Marfa Records ) than on other acting gigs. But finally, the actress-rocker-pitchwoman is putting her dramatic talent to uses for another project—and it’s not Yoplait: The Musical. Hailey is set to join supermodel Rachel Hunter, Joaquim de Almeida ( Desperado ) , and Oz Perkins ( Anthony’s son ) in La Cucina, an indie from first-time directors Allison R. Hebble and Zed Starkovich. No word yet on the plot of the movie, which is still in pre-production, but it’s definitely good news for those of us who want more Leisha in our lives."
