“It’s always just made sense to buy local, to start with a good product and make a great meal” - Monte Sheffield

BY RACHEL WILLIS

Palmer’s This locally-owned fine dining establishment has been a San Marcos favorite since 1978. Fans of sourcing local fresh produce, meats, and dairy will appreciate this menu. Hand-crafted goat cheese from Pure Luck Dairy in Dripping Springs; fresh local produce from Southern Star Farms right outside San Marcos city limits. Menu items

change with the seasonal local bounty. “It’s always just made sense to buy local, to start with a good product and make a great meal,” said Monte Sheffield, owner. The menu includes dishes with recipes that pull from traditional Southern cuisine, with notes of Cajun and Latin influence. Palmer’s brunch menu packs a punch with classic brunch recipes bursting with Southern flair. Try the Southern Eggs Benedict that shakes

up the traditional brunch item with slow-simmered pulled pork, on Texas toast with poached eggs, Hollandaise sauce and house-made barbeque. Saturday & Sunday brunch includes Build-Your-Own Bloody Mary Bar, with hot sauces, olives, pickles and bacon-wrapped pretzel rods. Palmer’s features a drink menu with a mix of traditional exotic selections. The Hibiscus Mex’tini that has Patron Citronge, agave nectar, fresh lime juice served with a house-made hibiscus tea ice ball, that slowly melts and sweetens the cocktail. Exclusively serving Texas beer on draft, and a large selection of wines to go with any entree on the menu, including their hand-cut and aged ribeyes steaks. Known for their beautiful outdoor seating on a shaded garden patio, Palmer’s is a favorite for happy hour and delicious appetizers. Palmer’s 218 Moore St. Mon–Thurs 11am–9:30 pm Fri 11 am–10 pm • Sat 10 am–10 pm Sat & Sun Brunch 10 am–2:30 pm palmers.com

Blue Dahlia Bistro Blue Dahlia Bistro, that opened in July of 2017, has created a European-style experience in the middle of downtown San Marcos. Blue Dahlia Bistro sits in one of the oldest existing buildings in San Marcos. Sam and Amy Ramirez, the owners of Blue Dahlia, worked to incorporate a lot of local feel and history by keeping the original and roughhewn limestone walls of the building, being a sponsor of local events and arts and using organic and locallysourced products whenever available.

10% OFF

THE ENTIRE BILL The Ramirez’s preserved the walls of the historic back patio by including them into the design, but they also hired local artist Rene Perez to add a little modern San Marcan flair to them with a series of mini-murals that pop out of the stonework. The menu was inspired by the Ramirez’s travels across Europe, as well as some more provincial sources, such as a warm bread pudding recipe with butter rum sauce that comes from a close friend’s grandmother’s recipe book. The dinner menu features French classics like Coq au Vin Blanc with chicken, mushrooms, garlic, capers prosciutto, all cooked in a white wine cream sauce and delicious openfaced tartine sandwiches that come in a array of flavor combinations. Blue Dahlia Bistro has $1 mimosas until 2 p.m. Monday through Friday and $3 mimosas on the weekends to go with their Petit Dejeuner menu that is served all day, and features items like buttery croissants and fluffy Belgian waffles. Blue Dahlia Bistro 107 E. Hopkins St Mon–Thurs 11 am to 8 pm Fri 11am–9 pm Sat 9 am–9 pm & Sun 9 am–8 pm bluedahliabistro.com. 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide • 21

KYLE MYLIUS

The Root Cellar Cafe The Root Cellar Café sits on the cellar floor of the historic Donaldson building in downtown San Marcos. Owner Kyle Mylius first opened the Root Cellar Cafe in February of 2005. He has been an active sponsor of the arts in San Marcos and in reviving the historic downtown district. The Root Cellar cafe is an intimate cafe that sits a few steps below street level on LBJ Drive. With limestone walls and an eclectic mix of tables and chairs that sit

nested in the corners, the atmosphere is cozy, but the menu features comfort foods with a fine-dining twist. The Root Cellar Cafe prides themselves on having a “scratch kitchen,” meaning staffers make everything they can from their jellies and salad dressings to their salsas and whipped creams. Root Cellar Cafe serves brunch Tuesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. that features local favorites like the Brazilian French Toast that is made with homemade challah bread that’s soaked in vanilla rum sauce and topped

The pursuit of hoppiness

San Marcos continues to grow in recent years—including a thriving production in an industry nearly 4,000 years old. BY RACHEL WILLIS

Altmeyer & Lewis The first brewery within city limits to operate with a production brewery license; you can enjoy brews in house as well as around town. Their brews can be found all around San Marcos, at Palmer’s, Tantra, Buzz Mill, Ivar’s River Pub and Zelick’s with plans on expanding distribution further down the Interstate 35 corridor. Stewart Altmeyer and Byron Lewis are brothers-in-law, they married local sisters from Wimberley. Altmeyer comes from a German heritage of beer brewing in West Virginia. Years ago, he stumbled across some books that his grandfather gave him. According to Altmeyer, the books were from his grandfather’s uncle who was a Monsignor at a Catholic monastery that brewed beer in West Virginia. “There were notes all in the back of the book that were numbers and I didn’t really know what it was and I just left it,” Altmeyer said. “Then it just kind of dawned on me, I think that’s a mash schedule. It’s not really a recipe but it was their technique that they were using at that monastery.” That technique that Altmeyer found in the back of a book is what Altmeyer and Lewis Brewery have used for all of their

creations. “I tried a couple of batches, tried to guess what grains they would have been using, trying to approximate it,” Altmeyer said. “I did a couple of batches and I was shocked at how much clearer and better it was than the other beer I had been brewing at that point.” They use no chemicals, finings or additives in their brewing process, giving their beer a cleaner and purer taste. “It’s not the recipe so much as the process,” Lewis said. “We do everything based on the German Law of Purity, the proper name is Reinheitsgebot. And what that states is that beer is made with four ingredients – no more, no less. So you have malt, hops water and yeast. We don’t use chemicals, filters or finings.” Altmeyer & Lewis have six labeled beers for sale including a refreshing and biting German lager; a hefeweizen with notes of wheat and banana; a Irish Red Ale and a hoppy double IPA.

Aquabrew Aquabrew, San Marcos’ newest brew pub, has created a community around their beer, hosting weekly fundraising events for local nonprofits, hanging art on their walls and having live music almost every week on their back stage. Aquabrew Owner Carlos Russo opened the community hub less than two years ago with the intent to run a full-scale brewpub, restaurant and event space. Aquabrew has 10 great brews on tap ranging from a full-bodied and spicy Belgium Tripel called the 78Tripel6 to a tart and refreshing Kolsch-style ale called the San Marcos Blonde. And Aquabrew Head Brewer David Jones said he has a special seasonal beer in the works for spring that uses some of Fredricksburg’s

“

famous peaches, the Peach Witbier. Jones said one of the advantages of working with a smaller brewery is the creativity that gets to flourish within the beer recipes and process — meaning the beer comes out better every time and drinkers get a new experience with every pint or flight. “I get to experiment a lot here, as compared to working for one of the big breweries, because if you distribute nationally you have to make the same beers over and over again. But I get to play around, each time I make our beers I do little tiny tweaks to try to get where I’m purely happy with them.”

Zelick’s Texas-style ice house Zelick’s was opened by brothers Chase and Seth Katz in May of 2011. They turned the remains of a 1930s gas station into a thriving garden bar within walking distance of downtown. Coined as the “Best Little Icehouse in Texas,” they pour local brews and host specialty keg nights. Their draft selection consists solely of Texas craft beers, with beers on tap from small craft breweries in and around the state. Zelick’s also hosts local art market event Martian Culture, which brings out some of the most creative and artistic personalities in San Marcos selling thier work—like Rene Perez; (see p. 48) the first Sunday of every month.

CHEATHAM STREET WAREHOUSE BY CHRIS DUKES

Nestled right next to the railroad tracks off its namesake street, Cheatham Street Warehouse boasts a rich history that can stand toe-to-toe with other Texas dance halls 100 years its senior. Kent Finlay and Jim Cunningham leased the old Reed Grocery Warehouse in June of 1974 to open up a music hall and provide a spotlight for the diverse pool of talent in the area. Shortly after opening, the club hosted a Southwest Texas State student named George Strait and his Ace in the Hole Band. The group would become a weekly staple, building a reputation not only for themselves, but the building in which they played.

PHOTOGRAPHER CHRISTOPHER PAUL CARDOZA

Over the next four decades Cheatham Street Warehouse would help launch the careers of names like Stevie Ray Vaughan and Randy Rogers, as well as play host to Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt, Jerry Jeff Walker, Asleep at the Wheel, Gatemouth Brown and Guy Clark. Yet it isn’t the big-crowd shows that are the lifeblood of the Central Texas honkytonk. The building serves its true purpose on Wednesday nights when it hosts Kent Finlay’s Songwriter’s Circle.

32 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

Named for one of the original proprieters of Cheatham Street Warehouse, who died in 2015, the songwriter’s circle has shaped the careers of names like Todd Snider, James McMurtry, Terri Hendrix, Bruce Robison and Hal Ketchum. "Kent and the songwriter's circle gave me a home and a place to work on my craft as a young songwriter,” local musician Troy Stone said. Stone, a songwriter’s circle alum, is the former frontman of the Hill Country Gentlemen and currently leads the band Troy Stone and the Spent Shells. Many of the muscians he works with to this day have connections to the songriter's circle.

“It also gave me a chance to be part of a community of people who were trying to do the same thing,” Stone added. “It did that for a lot of people and is partially responsible for a lot of careers." Finlay’s legacy lives on. Songwriter’s circle alumnus Randy Rogers bought the building in 2016. Local songwriters can still be found congregating on Wednsday nights, often guided by Finlay’s daughter HalleyAnna.

The process is still the same. Songwriters sign up on a yellow legal pad at the bar and every artist – no matter the experience level or following – gets the same respect and attention from their fellow craftsmen. Cheatham Street Warehouse also hosts events like the Young Songwriter’s Workshop, a yearly, “camp-style” event held in June where novice writers can work with established artists and refine their skills.

MUSIC EVERY WHERE JJ GARRETT BAND

BY RACHEL WILLIS San Marcos is a community of thriving arts, whether it be murals on walls, paint on canvas or a band on a stage, it’s created and supported here. And the odds are if you happen to find yourself in the midst of San Marcos’ burgeoning nightlife, you’ll hear the JJ Garrett Band. The JJ Garrett Band has been playing their particular brand of Texas Country since 2011. The group was formed in San Marcos by JJ Villarreal of Fort Worth and Doug Garrett of Grand Prairie. The duo started out around a campfire with guitars and friends before eventually making their way to the stage and hosting a regular and rollicking open mic night at Jack’s Roadhouse. They have become a staple to many downtown bars and restaurants, playing regularly at Louie's Oyster Bar, Green Parrot and CraftHouse as well as one of San Marcos’ most noted stages, Cheatham Street Warehouse. According to Garrett, it’s the San Marcos music scene’s energy that has given them traction in the Texas Country scene. “It’s still alive in San Marcos, you can go to really any place in San Marcos on a given night, there’s always going to be a band, some live music,” Garrett said The JJ Garrett Band has been cutting their teeth in the Texas music scene playing with acts like Dale Watson, Asleep at the Wheel and Hal Ketchum as well as releasing a

new self-titled four song EP that is available on iTunes and Spotify. Both Villarreal and Garrett are at home in a hole-in-the-wall beer joint playing drinking songs about good whiskey, bad decisions and the stories in between and their music can be most enjoyed with a cold beer in the hand and two feet on the dance floor. Garrett and Villarreal didn’t start honing their musical chops until they were in high school and college. Villarreal started on a pawn shop guitar that he acquired with his dad while on a semester-long break from college and has been playing ever since. Garrett has been plucking off and on since

34 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

2003. Villarreal had never sung on a stage before taking to the mic as lead vocals in the JJ Garrett Band. But both found a certain creative fulfillment through their music. “It definitely feels good to write a song and then get out there and play it and see people enjoying it, dancing to something you made,” Villarreal said. Their music draws from a variety of genres, from rock n’ roll and R&B to Texas Country and soul. They also play a healthy mixture of cover songs and originals, giving everyone a little something to move to or wet their beak to.

Once only an attraction for the largest of cosmopolitan cities, the performing arts has been a part of the San Marcos entertainment scene for years now. Notably the Theatre & Dance department at Texas State University has abundantly grown and flourished with generous donations and steady numbers of talented students. Productions have grown ever larger over the years with fan favorites producing instant referrals from theatre patrons. And if you didn’t already know—the TXST Theatre department is ranked 7th in the state of Texas—it’s packed with talent. With this outstanding company in our own backyard, the shows have a robust following of local patrons who frequent the productions. Recently the department has taken on ambitious projects: A Chorus Line, Hamlet and Ragtime. Seats full of bright eyed and smiling patrons packed the theatre for A Chorus Line—with admiration for the singing, dancing and acting quality—the cast was outstanding. These top-tier shows are not to be missed. 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide • 37

Spring Lake

THE BEAUTY NEVER STOPS “The lake is just waking up,” Sam Massey, assistant manager of Glass Bottom Boats at the Meadows Cener said, at the start of a morning tour. It was a crisp fall day, Massey’s favorite time of the year for guiding tours around the crystal-clear waters of the lake that forms the headwaters of the San Marcos River. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of springs bubble up from its bottom. Among the weaving cabomba, hornwort and other aquatic plants, live some 30 different species of fish and six species of turtles. Along its banks the work of non-native rodents can be seen in the nibbled tree branches, and along its edges hunt herons, egrets and other waterfowl. Part of the reason Massey prefers this season is the influx of migratory birds — including cormorants, ospreys and wild ducks — that add to the experience of observing the year-round residents, namely the red-shouldered hawks, black and turkey vultures and egrets. Once home to the famed Aquarena Springs Amusement park, the Meadows Center is a serene place of learning and natural wonder. On some days up to 400 schoolchildren visit the Meadows Center. Other days are reserved for family activities, and the tours are also popular with “winter Texans,” residents of local assisted living centers and just regular folks, some who live in the area and others drawn to the site by childhood memories of the old Aquarena Springs Amusement Park. The park was acquired by Texas State University in 1994, and over the next several years the old buildings came down, the Submarine Theater where Aquamaids frolicked with Ralph the Swimming Pig was pulled from the water and the peninsula on which it all sat was 40 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

restored to its natural state. The only building that now remains is the old Aquarena Springs Hotel, which now houses the Meadows Center and Texas State University teaching spaces. At 30, Massey is among the youngest to have a living memory of the theme park and, he says, fewer and fewer people ask about it. Instead, the conversation is increasingly turned to the public awareness of the fragile resource that is the Edwards Aquifer. “We try to get across the understanding that this lake and river come from the Edwards Aquifer,” he said, “and understanding what kind of resource is here — the large complex system below our feet. Water under the ground is pretty abstract for a second grader, but it connects back to what they learn in the classroom.” The Meadows Center maintains a fleet of five glass-bottomed boats, the oldest dating to 1945 and the newest to 1978. Each boat can hold 20 adults and tours take approximately 30 minutes. Stops along the way include high-pressure and low-pressure springs with names like Cream of Wheat and Johnny Weissmuller — the latter named for the actor who played Tarzan in a slew of movies in the 1950s and 60s. On a visit to the old theme park, Weissmuller famously dove down to take a drink from the spring that now bears his name. But like the theme park itself, memories of that actor have faded with time, Massey says. The lake holds its mysteries too, both in elusive creatures and hidden history. 42 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

“It’s the most studied waterway in the U.S.”

-Sam Massey

One of the many mysteries include the nocturnal American eel—in three years driving the boats, Massey has seen only four. Largely hidden too, are the river shrimp which can grow up to 18 inches including their claws. The widely studied Texas Blind Salamander also calls Spring Lake home. “It’s the most studied waterway in the U.S.,” Massey said in detailing dye tracing tests to see if the waters in Onion Creek south of Austin are connected to the springs beneath the lake, which was formed in 1849 when Edward Burleson built a dam to power a grist mill. In the 169 years since, the lake

has yielded only a few of its secrets. Underwater archaeologist Dr. Joel Shiner established a traditional dig site on the lake’s bottom in the early 1980s and remnants of that, kept clean by divers, can still be seen. Claimed by many experts to be the longest inhabited location in North America, sediment core samples indicate that humans have lived by the clear, constantly flowing water for more than 11,500 years. That prompts some questions, Massey said, many ask “what filter or other artifice” is used to make the water so clear — when in fact it comes out of the ground that way.

HEATWOLE BRINGS SAN MARCOS BEAUTY TO LIFE BY ANITA MILLER

There's magic all around us every day that we just can't see. Andy Heatwole is a local photographer doing what he can to change that. Heatwole has made quite a name for himself in recent years with haunting photographs of San Marcos and surrounding areas — many taken at night and many using long exposures that capture nature in a way human eyes cannot. They are dramatic — from downtown cityscapes beneath dark skies and thunderbolts to moonrise over a glittering city, to a backlit solitary oak beneath the Milky Way to an underwater illumination of the iconic Jacob's Well. Heatwole, a current resident of Kyle, says his love of “light painting” hasn't been a lifelong quest. “Prior to sometime in 2001 I had no interest in photography. I didn't do it in high school, it wasn't something I even thought of.” However, his world was widened by the internet. “I saw what people were doing, especially at night. What really fascinated me was lighting and strobes. 44 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

— light painting.” He acquired his first camera, a manual model that shot film, from his father-in-law, who also happened to be a professional photographer. “He gave me a few pointers and I went off on my own. I was terrible at first,” he recalled, though he quickly picked up the basics and began to use the camera as a tool to bring about what he envisioned. “Basically, I thought about how I wanted this to look and what to do with the camera to accomplish that. I loved it so I just kept doing it.” Daytime photography, by and large, captures the world as we see it. Faster shutter speeds allow for “freeze frame” of moving objects, Heatwole explained, while night photography opens up a whole new world of creative possibilities, “long exposures and about as close to magic as I have come — just in the way the camera sees things differently than we do.” While long exposures and adding light keep him up late at night, the beauty of early-morning light has him up early. “Getting out of a perfectly warm bed — that's the hardest part” he said of photographing the steam that rises off the

72-degree San Marcos River on cold winter mornings. “Once I get out there it's like, 'Ah, yeah!'... Once I'm out there and have the camera and I'm shooting it's just joy. That's really my favorite time, especially on the river. Not only is it a beautiful, winter, otherworldly, surreal environment that you're in, but there's nobody else out there.” A lot of his shots are wellplanned, like moonrises and sunsets, and he has apps and websites that let him know what will be where and when; however there's still no guarantee it won't be cloudy or otherwise problematic. Other times, “I really don't have anything in mind. I just get out, walk around and see if anything is clicking. A lot of times I'm just sitting in a place and start feeling it …

“My greatest reward is when people tell me how one of my pictures makes them feel — that’s validation.” -Andy Heatwole you have got to sit there for a while and kind of take it all in and then once you start feeling it, those compositions start to appear. A lot of times it's just on a feeling — even the planned stuff is just on a feeling — not just what it looks like but what it feels like.” His challenges have

46 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

been more than most photographers experience, for example, the day three years ago he was set up to shoot Christmas lights around Courthouse Square when he was hit by a car. “That was unexpected and definitely one of the scariest things that has happened.” It could have been much worse, he recalls. “I ended up being OK. By sheer luck I ended up getting pushed to the side instead of getting pushed forward and getting pinned between the car and the wall…That could have gone way differently. Literally a half step put me in the position to get pushed to the side.” Heatwole's art is available for sale through his web page and can occasionally be seen at downtown markets and galleries.

Private collectors have also taken note, and one local doctor has his work throughout the suite of offices. He also teaches nighttime photography classes sporadically. “My idea of art is something that conveys emotion,” Heatwole said, “not just an idea but emotion and that comes in many mediums.” For example, music. “Your favorite songs are the ones that make you feel something. My greatest reward is when people tell me how one of my pictures makes them feel — that's validation. You can get awards and money and accolades but the true measure, the true satisfaction, is being able to convey the emotion I feel to someone else. That's the biggest compliment I can personally receive from what I do.”

Painting through

SAN MARCOS

BY COLTON ASHABRANNER

Local artist Rene Perez – like most pet owners – takes note of the little quirks and qualities that all animals have to offer. However, he has made a career out of exaggerating those traits and personifying them into fantastic works of art. He can be found at local art markets or around town adding beauty to our cityscape by creating mini murals. 48 •48 2018 • 2018 San San Marcos Marcos Chamber Chamber Welcome Welcome Guide Guide

2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide â&#x20AC;˘ 49

Perez likes to do add humor to his works by poking at people and giving the animals he paints different human qualities. His works range from blue herons pointing out littering problems in our river community and pigs lying on their backs watching mermaids to simple portraits of his own snarky yet lovable cats riding through space in a claw-foot bathtub sporting wings and a beak. Perez began painting mini-murals by asking friends if he could do unpaid works outside of their buildings. “You do these things out of love and they come back to you,” Perez said. Of course, friends took him up on the offer and slowly his works began spreading throughout downtown. His first street painting was the cat behind Vagabond, a vintage clothing store located off of the square on North LBJ, he traded owner David Marrs the mural for a pair of stylish vintage boots. Perez was then hired by Blue Dahlia Bistro, a new restaurant in downtown San Marcos, to paint some mini-murals on the back patio walls of their secret 50 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome e Guide

Mini-Mural Map San Marcos Texas garden. Perez was already employed by the bistro’s Austin locations as the art curator, after having his work featured in the restaurant’s galleries for several years. “If you could give me one place in San Marcos that would be the coolest place to paint – it would be here,” Perez said while sitting at a small table in the corner of the patio. He continued saying that the job just kind of fell into his lap. “I feel really blessed to leave my marks on that wall,” he said. Co-owner Amy Ramirez asked Perez to paint a mural in the back patio, giving him the creative freedom to do with the space what he wanted. Perez added tiny touches that transformed their outdoor patio dining

Dahlia, Perez has expanded his mini murals around the downtown area and along the river. He was commissioned by the city to complete 10 mini murals around town. Perez said he feels like the work with the city came from his work at Blue Dahlia “They’re very subtle. I think that’s what the city saw,” he said. “I was doing all of these real subtle, sneaky paintings into this wall.” “Rene was chosen because he is an ambassador for the arts in our

community. People are intrigued by him and his works and they want to see more,” said Lisa Morris, recreation manager for the city of San Marcos. To see more of his work, be sure to follow him on Facebook and Instagram by searching “Rene Perez Art.” If you’re interested in commissioning Perez contact him: 512-757-4745.

SMTX RIVER BY DONAVAN JACKSON In the heart of downtown runs one of the most beautiful, crystal clear rivers in the state of Texas. The San Marcos River attracts locals and visitors both during the warmest summer days and the coldest winter evenings. Sewell Park and Rio Vista Park fill up with people of all ages during the summer. “Bikini Hill,” covered in beach towels, is where you can catch someone relaxing with a book, tossing a frisbee around, playing sand volleyball or enjoying the year-round 72-degree water. Sewell Park is a popular spot for tubers or paddle boarders to start their day-long float. The park and river also represent something special to the students of Texas State who earn a degree on graduation day. As recent grads exit Strahan Coliseum, many make their way down to the river and dive in as celebration of moving on to the next chapter of their lives. And for those not inclined to the chilly river opt for another Bobcat tradition. Many Texas State students dip their class rings in the river to symbolize their achievement at the university. The spring-fed river has become a staple of what makes San Marcos

special in many ways. Despite freezing winter weather, many find their way to the steaming river to take the polar plunge in the month of December. Another unique river experience is provided and put on by Paddle SMTX. Paddle SMTX puts on night glow tours that take paddlers down the San Marcos River at night with boards equipped with special underwater LED light kits as seen on the cover. The lights kits come in seven different colors and settings that produce

a gorgeous view of the river and wildlife under the stars. Paddle SMTX also provides many other options such as Paddle Board Yoga, Paddle Trips and Kayak Rentals. Whether you want to relax for a summer day on the hills or float on the river with family and friends, the San Marcos River serves as one of the most unique spots in the Texas Hill Country. The river of San Marcos is not only special to the town it runs through. It also personifies the culture that has made San Marcos what it is today.

Indigenous Cultures Institute The Sacred Springs Powwow, held each October, is a function of the Indigenous Cultures Institute (ICI), a nonprofit dedicated to the research and preservation of the culture, arts, traditions, ceremonies and languages of what is collectively known as the Coahuiltecan people. The Coahuiltecans represent more than 200 Native American groups that once populated what is now Central and Southern Texas and Northeastern Mexico before colonization by Europeans. According to ICI Executive Director Maria Rocha, the San Marcos Springs, which form Spring Lake and the river, is the site of the Coahuiltecan peoples’ origin story. “San Marcos is the oldest continuously inhabited spot in North America, so that in itself makes this a sacred place because it has been populated by people who have prayed here, lived here, experienced joy and life and death here,” Rocha said. “The Coahuiltecan people believe that San Marcos is their origination site as a people. Their creation story says that they travelled in the underground until a deer led them out through the springs for the first time and that spring is called Spring Lake – we call it the Sacred Springs – it’s the headwaters of the San Marcos River and it’s a very sacred place that represents all sacred land to us and all sacred water.” Native American culture thrums to life with the two-day powwow, filled with indigenous arts, food, storytellers, flute players, dancers and drummers in full regalia. Indigenous peoples open the doors to their often unrecorded and untold history and culture and celebrate the Sacred Springs of San Marcos and the

heritage of its peoples. One of the ICI’s longestfought battles has been reclaiming and reburying the thousands of Native American remains that have been unearthed over the years and kept in collections by universities, museums and federal and state departments. “We are working to rebury over 3,500 remains of our people that have been removed by Texas and that are now in cardboard boxes all over the United States in institutions,” Rocha said. “We would like those to be returned to us here in Texas and be reburied, as close as possible to where they were unearthed. That is a campaign that we have started and many of us are not going to live to see all those reburials but at least we started the process.” The ICI won their first major battle in repatriation in 2016 when the city of San Marcos became the first city in Texas that reclaimed a reburial ground for its indigenous populations and subsequently reburied the remains of a 25-year-old man buried over 1,200 years ago that had been unearthed in December 2011 near what is now the Meadows Center ticket booth, close to the shores of the Sacred Springs in Spring Lake. The body was deliberately reburied in the fetal position, with the head facing east and a ring of rocks circling the grave, as was Coahuiltecan tradition.

Centro Cultural Hispano de San Marcos On the outskirts of downtown sits the neighborhood that was once a Mexican American “barrio.” The building that used to house the city’s “Mexican School” is now a showcase for the richness and beauty of Hispanic culture. The mission of Centro Cultural Hispano de San Marcos is to serve as a community beacon for the preservation, development, promotion and celebration of the Hispanic arts, culture, heritage and values. They meet those goals by providing programs, classes and events that engage the community on a cultural level. Some of those include music classes, after-school tutoring, Ballet Folklorico that teaches traditional folk dances of Mexico, and cultural events for all ages. Centro opened its doors as a nonprofit in September of 2010, a result of the work of five determined women.

Calaboose African American Museum Set in the historically Black Dunbar neighborhood, the Calaboose African American Museum is a monument to the work to collect, preserve and interpret the history of African Americans in San Marcos. “The history of Black communities has often times been lost, because those living in these communities often lacked the level of literacy to write it down, so it was passed on orally,” Director of the Calaboose Museum Dr. Elvin Holt said. “But when those voices are silenced, nobody else can pick it up and carry it on to the next generation, so it becomes lost.” Johnnie Armstead was

the original founder of the Calaboose Museum, which began as a shed in her backyard that she lined with photographs, Black business and organization memorabilia, and pieces of local AfricanAmerican family history that had been tossed aside.

jail and later as the USO for Black servicemen in 1943, Armstead went before the city and asked them to give her the chance to raise the money needed to restore it. Armstead and a group of local activists and leaders did just that, eventually bringing the Calaboose to fruition. The name, “Calaboose,” was selected because it was a common word for jail when Hays County’s first jailhouse was built during the reconstruction period in 1873. The walls of the museum are lined with letters, books, photographs and antique artifacts that touch on all aspects

of African American life in the city’s history. Exhibits cover the Buffalo Soldiers, Tuskegee Airmen, WWII Military, Civil Rights, Ku Klux Klan, locally born and internationally-known jazz pioneer Eddie Durham and many other local heroes. “If you don’t get the minority contribution to the history of a community than you don’t have the full story and there has to be someone to tell the missing parts and that’s what we try to do at the museum,” Holt said.

Hidden in plane sight BY ROBIN BLACKBURN A colorful, interactive military museum the size of an airplane hangar is one of San Marcos' hidden treasures, but volunteers are hoping to change that. The Central Texas Wing of the Commemorative Air Force is mostly known for restoring and flying old combat aircraft – and the CAF hangar located at the end of the main road at the San Marcos Regional Airport is home to several planes that are either flight-ready or undergoing restoration. But the hangar, which itself dates back to World War II, also contains artifact rooms full of memorabilia from America's military history. Display cases hold uniforms, guns, photographs and other pieces of the past, with sections devoted to the WASPs and the Tuskegee Airmen. “The museum, just in the last two years, has been updated a lot,” said Central Texas Wing member Phil Bonasera. “It's a World War II Museum … but it's also a military history museum.” The CAF Central Texas Wing hangar has also undergone some refurbishment, Bonasera said, including the installation of new doors and new paint for the interior walls. An ADA-compliant restroom was

being installed on the ground floor of the hangar at the end of 2017. The hangar is also home to the John Stokes Library, which includes books, videos and memorabilia, and an Officers Club which can be rented out for small social functions or meetings. The club features a full kitchen, can seat about 50 people and is free for active duty or retired military, Bonasera said. The main floor of the hangar can also be rented out for dinners, dances or other functions, according to Bonasera. In fact, the Central Texas Wing holds its annual dinner dance and casino night fundraisers in the hangar. The CAF Central Texas Wing is manned entirely by volunteers. All of the fundraising efforts – special events, venue rentals, chances to fly in one of the historic aircraft and donations accepted at the hangar – go toward maintenance of the buildings and the planes and restoration efforts for newly acquired aircraft. One

such plane is the C-47, called “That's All Brother,” which Bonasera explained was the lead plane in the D-Day airlift. Restoration efforts on the plane began in 2015 and are continuing at a facility in Oshkosh, Wisc. The Central Texas Wing had hoped the plane would be ready for its test flight in late 2017, but Bonasera said it will be ready in 2018. And in 2019, the wing has plans to fly the plane from England to Normandy. Bonasera said there are many reasons why volunteers enjoy their membership in the Central Texas Wing. “Most of us are ex-pilots, and we like airplanes,” he said, adding that many members are retired mechanics and military personnel and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with wing activities and working on restoration and maintenance projects. More than that, he said, the men and

women involved in the Central Texas Wing are dedicated to education and to passing down the history of America's role in World War II. “We believe the story should be told,” Bonasera said. The CAF Central Texas Wing hangar and museum, located at 1841 Airport Dr. Building 2249, is open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no admission fee, but donations are recommended.

Getting Around Town BY CHRIS DUKES

The San Marcos metro area has spent a good portion of this past decade atop various rankings for the country’s fastest-growing city, and with that rapid population increase has come a need for various ways to get around town. Buses, ride sharing, taxis and even pedicabs are all available to get a person from one place to another in the city. Capital Area Rural Transportation System, or CARTS, has operated in San Marcos since 1995 and has been providing municipal bus service since 2013. In 2016 the company introduced five new 29-passenger busses along with extended hours of operation from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. “Ridership is the highest it’s ever been,” CARTS Community Services Director Dana Platt said. CARTS runs routes on Hopkins/ Wonder World, Post Road, Uhland Road, the outlet malls, Bishop and Guadalupe/ Redwood streets. In addition riders can connect to INTERURBAN buses bound for Austin, Bastrop, Bertram, Burnet, Georgetown, Liberty Hill, Lockhart, Luling, Marble Falls, Round Rock, Taylor, Texas State University, LaGrange, Giddings, Paige, Smithville and Elgin on 60 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

the INTERURBAN Coach. According to Platt, the most successful current option is the Coach Express Gold Route with express service to Texas State University. “We have lots of students and staff that utilize this service,” she said. “Passengers love the use of the wi-fi for their commute.” CARTS prices go from a $1 for a oneway fare $2 for a daily pass to $30 for a monthly pass (with discounted $15 monthly passes for eligible passengers). INTERURBAN rates start at $2–$4 for single trips, $6 for an all-day pass or $88 for a month. In addition to buses, those looking to traverse San Marcos always have the option of Uber or Lyft. Both ridesharing programs have been around since 2015, according to

San Marcos Economic Development and Downtown Administrator Kevin Burke. If you are looking for a low-tech way to get around there are always pedicabs. Movemint Bike Cab operates four fulltime pedicabs in the San Marcos area. “Our San Marcos pedicabs are custom built for the area,” owner David Knipp said. “San Marcos is sort of ‘subtly hilly’ so all of our units in the area are built to be electric when needed.” Movemint operates on the square and during special events such as Bobcat football games, the Mermaid Parade, Sights & Sounds and others. Cabs are available to be hailed down or riders have the option to book a tour in advance. “We want to be a part of the community and help people experience the charm and scenery of San Marcos,” Knipp said.

Smtx TO OUR COMMUNITY Welcome GROWING

BY DONAVAN JACKSON

For years, the small, quiet town of San Marcos was easy to pass up when traveling along Interstate 35. But as Texas State University, San Marcos High School and businesses have began to grow, so has one of the most laidback towns in the Texas Hill Country. With attendance at an all time high of 39,000 students, the effects have been felt throughout San Marcos. A significant number of apartment complexes have gone up, an overpass is about to open in the heart of town and both Texas State athletic complexes have received renovations. Many businesses have made their way to the area with the goal of reaping the benefits of a flourishing market. All while local business staples such as Herbert’s Taco Hut, Root Cellar and Grin’s maintain the “homey” feeling that makes San Marcos special. Despite the foot traffic, San Marcos has maintained the feeling of a hidden gem. The river runs through the heart of downtown and attracts anyone looking for a way to escape the Texas sun during the summer. “Bikini Hill” is filled with

SAN MARCOS OUTLET MALLS

students during the summer looking to cool off, play some sand volleyball or relax with a book while soaking in the sun. The Square provides a night life with many options from restaurant and bars to sports bars and you can’t turn a corner without finding a unique coffee shop tailored to the local culture. But one of the most intriguing and often overlooked aspects of San Marcos is its location. Commutes to San Antonio and Austin are a reasonable drive. As a result, the town has become home for more than the university population. Many have

66 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

taken advantage of the decently-priced homes in proximity of the surrounding cities. Some of the most popular summer spots are just a day’s trip away with Gruene, Wimberley and Lockhart each a part of the Hill Country. Wineries, breweries and some of the best BBQ around is easily accessible for anyone with an open weekend. It won’t be long before this growing gem becomes a national destination with a crystal-clear river, beautiful campus and breathtaking scenery.

EXTRAORDINARY PERSON: KAYLI HEAD BY JACK MCCLELLAN

“PEOPLE ALWAYS ASK, ‘IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?’ I WOULD DO EXACTLY WHAT I’M DOING, AND IT’S A GREAT FEELING TO SAY THAT.” – KAYLI HEAD If Kayli Head, owner of the Bloom Bar (123 S. LBJ Dr.), were a flower, she’d be a ranunculus. A vase full of the bell-shaped flower sat on the table where Head worked on several arrangements, alongside dried roses, hydrangea and scabiosa pods. “They are fun and whimsical and bright, and they just make me happy,” Head said. The Bloom Bar, which has been in business since September 2015, is an 72 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

extension of Head’s flowery personality. The operation started in Head’s living room and has since expanded to the storefront on LBJ Dr., just off the historic square. The space is full of flowers and as carefully decorated as a wedding centerpiece. A “Good Vibes Only” sign hangs on the front door. “I have my little ‘Good Vibes Only’ sign because I just really like a positive environment,” Head said. “I’ve worked in studios where it wasn’t a positive environment—and that seems crazy to me, because it’s like the happiest job ever.” She would know—having worked in flower shops from the age of 16—flower arrangement class in high school predestined her for a love of flora—she recalls finishing her first arrangement, so quickly that her remaining class time was spent helping classmates. Head remains close to her teacher to this day, working her way through high school and college in floral— she moved into marketing and public relations after college, and always dreamed of her own floral shop. “I had always wanted to own my own studio, instead of working for someone else,” Head said. When she and her husband moved to San Marcos from the Dallas area five years ago, Head saw her opportunity. She got to know the city, working for the San Marcos Main Street Program, and integrated herself in the community. “We threw ourselves into the community,” she said. “It’s really important for me to be involved. I loved it here so much that I really wanted my business to be here. I just loved the vibe and the community here.” After moving on from Main Street and taking a marketing job in Austin, Head knew the time had come.

“I was in a job that wasn’t a great fit for me, and I thought if I don’t do this now, I will always regret it,” she said. “I’d rather fall flat on my face doing something I love than be in a job that makes me miserable.” Her passion paid off, and the business was a success from the start. Soon, it was too big for her living room, and when the space on LBJ Drive opened, she made the move. She wanted to be an active part of downtown. “I don’t necessarily even need a storefront in my business, but I just really wanted to be downtown,” Head said. Speaking about her shop, she said, “It’s a great creative space. It can be like a flower explosion in here. And it’s nice to be here and watch the people go by.” Occasionally, people will see the name and mistake the shop for a bar. They come in looking for cocktails and find flowers. From time to time, The Bloom Bar even hosts “Flower Happy Hour,” where clients come in for an arrangement and receive a glass of wine, too. The Bloom Bar specializes in floral arrangements for weddings and corporate events. They also offer various workshops and other services. With the emphasis on weddings, Central Texas is an ideal location, due to the concentration of wedding venues spread through the Hill Country. While Head has worked with large weddings and big budgets—sometimes running into the tens of thousands for floral alone—she has something to offer in every price range. “I love to work with clients of all

different budgets,” she said. “I was a budget bride, but I got creative with it. I like to help couples be creative and get the most bang for their buck.” Strangely, in contrast to neighboring cities like Dripping Springs, San Marcos does not have many wedding venues. Nevertheless, Head thinks it is the perfect city for her business. Plus, it is a great place to live. “[San Marcos] is so laid back,” Head said. “I love where we are because we walk down to the river a couple times a week, go to the restaurants—it’s a great walkable downtown. We really fell in love with the community, especially the arts community. There’s just this creative vibe here.” Head’s personal style fits the community, as well. “Whimsical and effortless,” she said of her style. “A laidback kind of look. I’m really inspired by the Hill Country— what you see when you are walking along Purgatory Creek Trail.” As her business becomes more successful, Head has turned her attention to helping others, especially women entrepreneurs. She remembers listening to podcasts of women who had made the leap into business ownership while she drove to her job in Austin, and she wants to pass that inspiration along to other women. “I’m just so glad I jumped,” Head said. “I’m not a risk-taker. I was always told to take the safe route. But I didn’t, and I’m so glad I didn’t.”

If she were to give one piece of advice to anyone wanting to strike out on her own, Head would echo advice given to her by Kyle Mylius, owner of the Root Cellar Café and San Marcos’s local King Midas. “How can you start as small as possible and still do what you need to do. Start small, use what you have, start where you are.” From its humble beginnings in Head’s living room, the Bloom Bar has become a tremendous success. Head is often booked at least three weekends each month. “It’s just the coolest feeling,” she said. “I love owning my own business. I’m working harder than I ever have, but it doesn’t feel like working. I would do this anyway. “People always ask, ‘If you won the lottery, what would you do?’ I would do exactly what I’m doing, and it’s a great feeling to say that.”

ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY: For a growing San Marcos SUBMITTED BY CTMC Central Texas Medical Center (CTMC), San Marcos’ hometown hospital since 1923, has regularly been on the forefront of introducing advanced medical technology to our community.

important that there is an Accredited Chest Pain Center with Primary PCI ready to assess, diagnose and treat patients experiencing chest pain symptoms and active heart attacks. As a Certified Primary Stroke Center, CTMC is highly qualified to treat patients experiencing a stroke.

It is also indicated for use during high risk coronary procedures when surgery is not an option.

LOOKING TO RELOCATE OR EXPAND YOUR BUSINESS?

SUBMITTED BY GSMP When Forbes Magazine identified Greater San Marcos as the center of “America’s Next Great Metropolis” in late 2016, it came as no surprise to residents and area business owners. With San Marcos’ ranking as the “Fastest Growing City in the U.S.” for three consecutive years (2013-2015) by the U.S. Census Bureau, this new designation only affirmed the steps taken by city and county officials to plan for and invest in future growth. In 2009, the city of San Marcos and Hays County, along with other public and private sector leaders including Texas State University and Central Texas Medical Center, decided to strengthen the area’s economic development efforts, leading to the launch of Greater San Marcos Partnership (GSMP) in 2010. Since its inception nearly eight years ago, the nonprofit economic development organization has announced the creation of over 3,200 jobs in the two-county region it serves, including Amazon’s 855,000-square76 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

foot fulfillment center in San Marcos, which today employs over 3,000 people full-time. New data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that San Marcos grew its privatesector jobs by 5.5 percent from 2016 to 2017. So, what’s driving this growth? GSMP President Adriana Cruz, a veteran of former Texas Governor Rick Perry’s Economic Development office and the Austin Chamber’s economic development team, credits affordability, proximity to Austin and San Antonio, and an outstanding and affordable quality of life in San Marcos for much of the growth. Cruz says, “In San Marcos and the communities in the region, you can have the cache of the big city without the cost and traffic, which makes the area extremely appealing.” Cruz adds that workforce availability and solid infrastructure are key elements to attracting new business and therefore new jobs – both of which are major advantages for San Marcos. It’s for these

reasons and the collaborative relationships between GSMP, and city and county elected officials and staff, that brand names such as Amazon and Best Buy have chosen to open major operations in San Marcos. New employers are great for the economy, but GSMP also concentrates much of its focus on existing employers, noting that the majority of new jobs in an

area come from existing local companies. In 2017, over 34 percent of the jobs announced in the region were created or retained by existing employers. A large role that GSMP plays with existing employers is connecting their leadership to area workforce training providers to continue growing and enhancing training curriculum for the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future workforce.

GSMP, which is in the third year of its five-year economic development strategy plan, Vision 2020, expects 2018 to be a big year for new jobs in the region. If you are interested in learning more about relocating to or expanding your business in San Marcos and the two-county region, contact Team GSMP at 512-393-3400 or info@greatersanmarcostx.com.

LIONS CLUB:

OFFERING MORE THAN TUBES

BY ROWE RAY When San Marcos residents and summertime visitors hop on those bright yellow San Marcos Lions Club tubes and immerse themselves in the cool, springfed waters of the San Marcos River, many may not realize the life-changing impact their fun has on the lives of hundreds of residents here. Every splash of a Lions Club river tuber sends ripples of financial hope to local charities, social services and youth organizations. That’s because all the profits from the San Marcos Lions Club Tube Rental in City Park – $250,000 annually – are donated to these groups by the club as it follows the Lions Clubs International (LCI) motto, “We Serve.” As part of the largest service organization in the world, the San Marcos Lions Club joins 46,000 clubs worldwide and their 1.4 million members as they strive "to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace and promote international understanding.” Along with its traditional emphasis on working to eradicate blindness and helping those with vision challenges, the international organization also focuses on diabetes, the environment, hunger relief and pediatric cancer. The Lions also provide disaster relief when needed, such as the financial support distributed to many of our neighbors who were impacted by the tragic Central Texas flooding of 2015 and coastal Texans hit so hard by Hurricane Harvey. Joining

with the local club in these efforts were the state, national and international Lions organizations. Along with attracting thousands of visitors to the city with its tube rental, the San Marcos club hosts an annual Mexican Food Dinner, delivers Christmas food baskets to needy families, provides annual scholarships to local high school and college students, and honors a "Student of the Week" and "Teacher of the Month.” The club is also a charter sponsor of San Marcos Boy Scout Troop 112, whose members and leaders assist with a number of club projects throughout the year, as do the Lions at Texas State University, the Leos from San Marcos High School and the Texas State Medical Explorer Post 4077. Just this year the club assisted Lions Clubs International Foundation by sponsoring a youth “microtrash” cleanup

78 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

of San Marcos Children’s Park and a Christmas poinsettia sale fundraiser benefitting pediatric cancer. While some might see little connection between a fun river tubing experience on a hot Texas day and the serious issues of hunger, blindness, the environment, diabetes and pediatric cancer, San Marcos Lions know better. The “fun" and the “serious" go hand in hand. Lions Founder Melvin Jones’ personal code rings as true today as it did in the early years of the 20th Century: “You can’t get very far until you start doing something for somebody else." Since 1941, the San Marcos Lions Club has taken great pride in its partnership with the community as it strives to to do just that. Doing something for somebody else is just the way San Marcos rolls … and floats.

FROM BOBCAT TO BOSS: Meet the new guy in charge

BY ROBIN BLACKBURN Last August, San Marcos welcomed a new city manager: Bert Lumbreras. Taking the city manager position here was, for Lumbreras, a chance to come full circle, because his

first taste of city government was an internship with the city when he was going to college in San Marcos. Lumbreras comes to San Marcos from Austin, where he served as assistant city manager. He says his experience in Austin has given him a useful perspective on handling growth—something San Marcos has certainly been experiencing for several years already. “Being in Austin for 11 years, I’ve seen Austin grow and have a number of major challenges that it’s very difficult to try to get your arms around,” Lumbreras said. “You can look at transportation, you

can look at affordable housing, the need for quality jobs, homelessness—really, you look at a number of issues that are important to the community. Austin struggles to tackle those big issues. I think San Marcos is in a prime situation to look at a potential future and how we start addressing those things now to do better planning, create better strategies, provide better leadership.” Lumbreras said he feels that San Marcos can get out in front of growth-related issues before they become problematic, but there are two basic projects he wants to start working on in his first year: Quality jobs and housing affordability relative

to where needs exist in the community. Lumbreras said he hopes to build relationships with developers, home builders, the university, vocational training facilities and other stakeholders to address the need for quality jobs and affordable housing. He said he hopes to be able to work with the school district and county government as well to find common ground on housing, jobs and other issues. “For me, it’s a lot of fun,” he said. “I’ve got a great team, a great mayor and city council— I feel like I’ve got a fantastic situation here as city manager, and that’s what excites me every day.”

We’re your cooperative, and we’re working for you. At PEC, you’re more than a customer. You’re a member: an owner with a voice, a vote and a financial share. You’re our neighbors, our friends and our community.

HOUSING

BOOM BY JACK MCLELLAN

Three long-awaited master-planned communities enter the final stages of development in the coming year, bringing new options to the growing San Marcos housing market. Kissing Tree, La Cima and TRACE housing developments will all sell homes in 2018. Each community intends to fill a perceived housing need as growth continues along the I-35 corridor.

Kissing Tree Kissing Tree, located south of the city off Hunter Road, caters exclusively to retirementready residents. Kissing Tree’s target demographic is “active adults,” retired or near-retired baby boomers who will age with the housing development. “It’s all about the lifestyle you are going to get out here, rather than how cool our homes are,” Walsh said. “Even though our homes are really cool.” The community is built on 1,300 acres and will include 3,200 lots when fully built out. Homes will cost between $276,000$500,000, range in size from 1,4003,400 square feet and be available in 18 customizable model plans. Other features will include, when construction is complete, an 18-hole golf course, a restaurant that will be open to the public and a Welcome Center with indoor/outdoor bar and biergarten, among other amenities. San Marcos and the surrounding Hill Country are also considered among the community’s amenities. “This is the third year that San Marcos has been listed in Forbes Magazine as a top place to retire,” Walsh said. “That speaks volumes about us being in the right community at the right time. The natural resources that are here in San Marcos give [our residents] a healthy life style its own

playground.” Kissing Tree is being developed by Brookfield Residential Properties, a Calgarybased company that has operated in Central Texas since 2004. Homes are currently for sale.

TRACE TRACE, developed by California-based Highpointe Communities, will consist of homes starting at $198,000, hoping to

84 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

offer affordable options relative to rising real estate prices in the area. The development is located east of Interstate 35 at Posey Road. “We identified several years ago the desire to be in Central Texas, particularly in the greater Austin area,” said President and CEO of Highpointe Communities Steve Vliss. “We looked at dozens of opportunities, and always kept coming back to San Marcos. It’s perfectly positioned to take advantage of the tremendous growth

that’s occurring in Central Texas right now.” Homes on the 425-acre site will eventually number over 1,000, and the community also includes a new elementary school in the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District. The mixed-used development has plans for more than 1 million squarefeet of commercial development. “We think [under $200,000] is a very attainable starting point for prices, given today’s market and where prices have gone in other parts of Central Texas, in particular Austin,” Vliss said. “[This] will give families and first-time home buyers an opportunity to get on the home-ownership ladder.” Homes in the TRACE development will be available for sale after the first of the year, and construction on the first batch completed by the second quarter of 2018.

La Cima La Cima is an upscale development, with house prices between the mid-$200,000s and $500,000. Located, controversially, within the recharge zone of the Edwards Aquifer at Wonder World Drive and Old Ranch Road 12, the community hopes to not only fill a housing need, but compliment the natural resources of San Marcos, according to property manager Eric Wills. “There’s a balance we have to achieve,” Wills said. “There are people moving to the area. We can work together on how we put them in a nice master-planned community and protect open space. With our project, we’ve created a habitat preserve that’s managed by the county on 700 acres.” Despite concerns, the 2,000-plus acre development will contain, along with 200 acres of commercial space, more than

2,000 homes when it is fully built out, which may take a decade. Model homes complete by June 2018, residents are expected to be living in the community by the end of the year. Other conveniences will include a fitness center, a junior Olympic-sized pool and more than 800 acres of parks and open space, with miles of walking trails. Because of its location, the development is limited to no more than 20 percent impervious cover, such as cement, which would prevent rain water from absorbing into the ground. Wills sees La Cima and the other developments as a catalyst for change in the San Marcos area. “The real estate community is very excited—they have buyers, but they don’t have a place to put them. All three of these communities are going to transform San Marcos.”

Not your average

GOLF COURSE BY NICK CASTILLO

Staring down hole No. 18 at the Kissing Tree Golf Course, the risks are apparent. The reward is simple. The hole is an easy downhill drivable Par 4. But the green, however, is surrounded by water on both sides. The hole plays similar to No. 9, which features water on the left side of the green, and a deep bunker on the right. The course, which is set to open in July, is challenging, but also has novice golfers in mind. The back nine features spectacular views of San Marcos. The course takes full advantage of its place in the Hill Country with rolling fairways

and elevation changes throughout. Kissing Tree Golf Course general manager Josh Clay calls this “not your average” golf course. “We have two closing holes on No. 9 and No. 18 that are drivable par-4s but have water on each side, which lends to some excitement,” Clay said. “But if you’re somebody that’s going to come out and just wants to enjoy the landscape - the back nine has views that are just spectacular. You can see most of San Marcos from a few of the holes from the back nine as you close out. But that’s what’s going to be unique with this golf course.”

86 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

Gary Stevenson, a Texas native, developed and designed the course with the Hill Country in mind. “He’s kind of developed this land over the last six, eight years,” Clay said. “He’s very knowledgeable to work with current topography of the Hill Country and kind of designed an absolutely beautiful golf course with the intention that the golf game has gotten to a point where golf architects have had to shape the land based on golf technology and everything is getting longer and longer. “Courses are getting harder and harder. But we wanted a golf course that’s going to be fun and playable for

every type of golfer. So whether you’re a novice or have been golfing for years, you’re still get a challenge and have some fun, but if you’re someone who’s just retired and haven’t been able to pick up the game because they’ve been working so much, they’re going to be able to come out here and enjoy a great golf course and not feel like it’s so stressful on them.” Clay said Kissing Tree will have different programs from men’s club, ladies club, nine-hole club, as well as options as far as for learning the game. Clay is excited for the golf course to open, and is expecting San Marcos to

enjoy its new public course. “San Marcos is going to be a perfect neighbor for us bringing out other people like Texas State,” Clay said.

“We’re going to have a majority of players come from this immediate area.”

PUBLIC LIBRARY

EXPANSION BY ROBIN BLACKBURN

The San Marcos Public Library is a tremendous asset to the community. Offering far more than books for its patrons, the library hosts lectures, concerts, classes and a slew of electronic media. And with an eye to the future, the library is preparing for a 29,000-square-foot expansion. The city hopes to break ground on the project in the latter part of 2018. “The mission of libraries has significantly evolved from the 'warehouses for books' model to that of vibrant community centers that serve the public,” said Diane Insley, library director. The library already offers tutoring, assistance with GED and citizenship tests, resume writing and job search services, and access to wi-fi, computers and printers, in addition to eBooks and more traditional library fare like books and periodicals. The expansion, which voters approved enthusiastically in a May 2017 bond election, will allow the library to offer even more and keep up with the diverse needs of a growing clientele. The expanded San Marcos Public Library will provide more meeting spaces for groups, including a large room that can hold up to 200 people but can be divided for smaller events. Group 88 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

“I am looking forward to working with all of our community partners to build a bigger, better library to meet the needs of a growing San Marcos.” study rooms, multi-use areas for maker projects, a classroom that can accommodate 35 people and a conference room that can hold 25 are also in the works. There will be specialized areas for different user groups including children, young readers and teenagers. There will be a room designed specifically for children and will accommodate storytime and other special children's events. The library will also offer a children's courtyard, an early learning center for activities that teach literacy and other concepts that preschoolers need to know, storage areas for children's materials, and a large room for larger children's programs and concerts.

The expanded library will also have a designated area for cell phone use, coffee, drinks, snacks and conversation. The new library design also includes designated reading areas, including an adult reading courtyard. Among other amenities, the expansion will provide is a larger local history area that will house all files, photos, books and maps. The new library will also feature more parking, a walkway through the sculpture garden to the San Marcos Activity Center, more bicycle parking, more security in the parking lot and a drive-through book drop, which Insley said was the No.1 request in public meetings held in 2014 about the library. “I am looking forward to working with all of our community partners to build a bigger, better library to meet the needs of a growing San Marcos,” Insley said.

Now serving as Chief of one of the premier law enforcement agencies in Texas, I can say that the San Marcos Police Department is one of the key reasons San Marcos is such a wonderful city in which to live, work and play. Our officers care a great deal about the community and the people they serve. Their dedication and pride in their work can be seen daily in their interactions with the people they serve. I am proud to call the San Marcos Police Department my work home.“ Chase Stapp,w Chief of Police San Marcos Police Department City of San Marcos

BY ROBIN BLACKBURN Whether you need to report a crime that already happened or you're in the middle of a crisis, San Marcos' emergency personnel are here to help. In fact, thanks in part to the local emergency response services, SafeHome.org ranked San Marcos as the 32nd safest city in the state of Texas. The San Marcos Police Department is located on the southbound access road, at 2300 Interstate 35. The department has 106 sworn officers and a total of 152 employees, including nonsworn personnel such as dispatchers, according to city staff. Besides handling crime, the police department offers community services such as the annual Blue Santa toy drive and National Night Out. Moreover, the police department allows people conducting transactions 90 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

initiated at websites like Craigslist to use the police department lobby and two well-lit parking spaces in the parking lot as a “safe exchange zone.” Both areas are monitored by security cameras; police will not get involved in exchanges unless involvement is warranted. San Marcos Police also hold community outreach events, like barbecues and coffees, to meet with residents and hear their concerns. Another way the San Marcos Police Department gets involved with the community is through the Citizens Police Academy. The 13-week course introduces participants to the basics of police work. Academy participants learn about training, family violence, communications, patrol tactics, juvenile law and more. Alumni

of the citizens' academy have an association that assists the police department, including providing meals for officers and other emergency personnel who work on Christmas Day. For information on the Citizens Police Academy, visit https:// www.sanmarcostx.gov/503/ Citizen-Police-Academy. The San Marcos Fire Department has 68 fire-fighters in operations and seven in administration. The department has five stations located in different parts of town. Station 1 is downtown and counts a pumper truck, heavy rescue truck, battalion chief vehicle and rescue boat among its equipment. Station 2, located on the corner of Academy and Holland streets, has a pumper truck and a brush truck on hand. Station 3 is located on Hunter Road and has a platform truck, a hazardous materials/special operations truck and a miniemergency response vehicle among its equipment. Station 4 is on Broadway Street, east of the interstate, and has a

pumper truck and brush truck. Station 5, the newest station to date, is located on Carlson Circle on the north side of town. The station's equipment includes a ladder truck, brush truck, reserve truck and rescue vehicle. A 1963 Ford Galaxie and a 1926 pumper truck – the fire department's first – are also kept at the station. A new fire station is currently under construction on Wonder World Drive. Among the department's community outreach efforts are Fire Prevention Month, which raises awareness of fire dangers; the Fired Up About Reading event that brings fire trucks to the San Marcos Public Library, tours of the fire stations, a home smoke detector program, and training for resident assistants at university dormitories. The fire department has a program similar to the police department's Citizens Police Academy. The Citizens Fire Academy teaches residents different aspects of the fire department, including special

rescue operations, the hiring and training of fire-fighters, and emergency medical services. The Citizens Fire Academy Alumni Association, for residents who've completed the Fire Academy, works in the community to promote education and awareness about fire safety. There is also a Junior Fire Academy day camp held during the summer. The camp, available for boys

and girls ages 8-11, gives children a chance to interact with San Marcos fire-fighters, learn leadership and teamwork, and get an understanding of different facets of firefighting.

Growing to serve K–12 in 2018 SHELLEY HENRY Following the successful addition of fourth and fifth grades during the 201718 school year, San Marcos Academy will continue expanding its elementary program to become a K-12 school in the Fall of 2018. Plans for this expansion are well underway under the leadership of Academy President Jimmie Scott. As the population of our city and county continues to grow, SMA will be ready to serve local families seeking an accredited private Christian education for their children and grandchildren. Elementary instruction is not new to San Marcos Academy. Between the 1920s and early 1980s, when the school was located on its original campus along Academy Street, the SMA academic program included elementary grades. When the school moved to its present location on Ranch Road 12, however, the lower grades were phased out and the emphasis was directed toward middle and upper school instruction. “We believe now is the right time to bring a full elementary program back to San Marcos Academy,” Scott said. “Our community is growing at such a rapid pace, and families are looking for educational alternatives. These families want all of their children to be together on one campus, and now they can have that option at SMA.” The Academy Lower School will feature a diverse phonics-based curriculum including Saxon math, physical education, music and art, Spanish instruction, Bible study and technology in every classroom. Younger students will 96 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

enjoy a hot noon meal in the Academy’s full-service dining hall, so parents can say goodbye to packing a lunch-box. Optional early care and after-school care will also be offered for the convenience of working parents. Students with mild to moderate learning differences will benefit from an accommodated learning program with a highly-experienced reading specialist at the helm. “Parents can expect a high-quality program focused on excellence in academics while preparing students for the rigor of the Middle and Upper School programs,” said Dr. Brian Guenther, associate academic dean for the Academy’s Middle and Lower Schools. “With all that we have to offer, our tuition and fees compare very favorably to those at other private schools in the San Marcos and surrounding areas. We also provide a sibling discount and can provide some scholarship assistance as well.” While the Lower School will be open to day students only, SMA will continue to enroll both day and boarding students in grades 6-12. Welcoming students from across Texas and around the world, the Academy brings together a global community of learners, creating a unique campus environment. As the oldest private school in Hays County, San Marcos Academy offers a proven tradition of excellence in Christian education.

Boosting Student Acheivement FOUNDATION FACTS A portion of the annual contributions are placed in the Endowment Fund, with the remaining balance made available for immediate use. Donations are received from individuals, corporations and foundations. Contributions can be designated for the endowment fund, for specific educational programs, or for the San Marcos Education Foundation programs such as scholarships or teacher mini-grants. All donations remain in the community and are used to directly benefit local students. The Foundation operates with no paid staff; volunteers plan and implement all of the events, as well as the fundraising efforts.

EDUCATION FOUNDATION BY ROBIN BLACKBURN

The community stands behind the San Marcos Consolidated Independent School District, and the San Marcos Education Foundation (SMEF) is proof of that support. The volunteer-driven foundation generates financial support for the SMCISD, providing funds for programs and activities that boost student achievement and encourage staff excellence. “This amazing group of individuals’ commitment towards our students and staff goes above helping and includes advocacy.” said SMCISD Superintendent Michael Cardona. Donations to the foundation come from all facets of the community. Individuals, corporations and foundations all make contributions, which are then either made available for immediate use or placed in the foundation's endowment fund. Money made available immediately is used to supplement the district's normal operating budget and support projects meant to encourage student achievement. “We are grateful for the support the San Marcos Educational Foundation provides and as Superintendent, I am humbled that these community leaders choose SMEF and SMCISD because our students, teachers and the San Marcos community are enriched by the support the members provide.” The foundation offers innovative teaching grants that are awarded based

98 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

on strict criteria – only to creative and innovative classroom projects not funded through tax dollars. Projects must address important program objectives, affect the greatest number of students appropriate to the category and represent a creative approach to learning. The foundation gives up to $2,500 for individual projects and up to $5,000 for team or department projects. The San Marcos Education Foundation holds numerous fundraising events throughout the year. The SMEF Green Fashion Show and Aim High for Education Skeet Shoot are just two of the events meant to help the foundation raise money and increase awareness of its mission. The foundation also holds a Distinguished Alumni Award event to honor San Marcos High School alumni and a Distinguished Scholars program to recognize the top 10 percent of each year's graduating class. Each scholar names an educator who had a positive influence on his or her education, and those teachers are acknowledged as well. Additionally, the San Marcos Education Foundation board selection committee chooses the elementary and secondary Teachers of the Year from among the state Teacher of the Year winners from each campus.

BOBCAT SPORTS FANS BRING POSITIVE IMPACT TO SAN MARCOS BY NICK CASTILLO When 31,333 fans attended Texas State’s game against UTSA on Sept. 23, 2017, the Bobcats nearly broke an attendance record. The large crowd brought fans and Bobcat alumni into town, which helped the city’s hotels and restaurants. When Texas State athletics hosts games and tournaments, it significantly impacts the city, Texas State athletic director Larry Teis said.

“Our fans and alumni have substantial buying power that can help San Marcos economically,” Teis said. “When we host events and tournaments, we believe we significantly impact everything from hotel occupancy, to restaurant and gas sales. For our fans traveling from out of town to San Marcos, they bring new dollars into the local community. The same can be said for the visiting team fans attending our games. We also believe that being able

100 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

to offer great entertainment gives local residents and our students a reason to stay in town instead of possibly taking their entertainment dollars and spending them in other communities like Austin or San Antonio.” Texas State’s athletic events also increase exposure for the city. Games and tournaments bring visitors and they’ll likely return to San Marcos if they have a great experience. “This is a beautiful city with much to offer, and people attending our events have a chance to see that first hand,” Teis said. “With increased national television exposure of our athletic events, we have also been able to showcase Texas State University and San Marcos to a broader audience. We also believe we offer an affordable college athletic entertainment option unique to the residents of San Marcos.” Texas State recognizes the importance of having a great experience at events. That’s why they’ve worked on improving the fan experience to attract more fans to games. “We realize fans have several options when it comes to spending their entertainment dollars, but we believe we offer one of the best entertainment values in the area,” Teis said. “We consider all elements when building our entertainment experience, and place a strong emphasis on

reasonably-priced tickets and convenient game amenities such as parking. We also believe we offer great seating options for fans and unique hospitality areas at all of our events. Some of the experiences tailored toward families are my favorite. For example, the Coca Cola Kids Fun Zone at our football games offer great activities for kids, which allows parents the opportunity to watch the game from essentially field level.” Texas State will add to its fans’ experience with the renovations to Strahan Coliseum, which will be renamed the University Events Center. Teis hopes the changes will attract fans to the arena like renovations brought more people to Bobcat Stadium, Bobcat Ballpark and Bobcat Softball Stadium, which improved interest and attendance in football, baseball and softball. “We will have one of the finest sports arenas in the country when construction is completed, and a great deal of emphasis was placed on fan experience during design of the facility,” Teis said. “The new facility will offer several new amenities for our fans to enjoy. Some of these amenities include hospitality seating options, concession areas, restrooms, LED video boards, concourse lighting, improved ticket stands, new entries and parking. As we continue to grow and add staff to

assist us, emphasis will also be placed on hosting other large events similar to those hosted at the Erwin Center in Austin or the Freeman and AT&T Centers in San Antonio. This facility will give us greater flexibility to bring even more large scale events to San Marcos.” Texas State recognizes the importance of putting a quality product on the field and court. The Bobcats strive to for good performances and a good fan experience to continue to positively impact San Marcos. “I can also tell you, when our fans attend and participate in the game atmosphere, it adds an entirely different level to the fan experience,” Teis said. “The atmosphere at

our events when our fans turn out in force has the ability to transform the experience for both our fans and student-athletes. There is an energy to a sold-out Bobcat Athletics event that cannot be described, it can only be experienced firsthand.”

MAYOR JOHN THOMAIDES

SUPERINTENDENT MICHAEL CARDONA

WE CAN’T WISH GROWTH AWAY THOMAIDES & CARDONA ADDRESS THE STATE OF THE CITY

2017 was a year of change—spearheaded by a new mayor and new superintendent. The inaugural State of the City was not only welcomed but needed. The San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, with a new President at the helm, invited the business community and public to join local officials for the State of the City Luncheon held just days before a bond election, the community came out in force San Marcos Mayor John Thomaides spoke about the citys growth, and strategies for navigating the population boom Thomaides spoke about the day he discovered San Marcos and knew that it was where he wanted to live. Twenty-five years ago while on vacation he did some exploring and ended up taking a dip in the San Marcos River. “I went into the water a visitor,” he said, “but when I broke through the surface I knew I had arrived home.” Now, he said, others have discovered all the amenities San Marcos has to offer, from the emerging research university on the hill to the natural beauty of the river. “Everybody has found San Marcos,” he said. Thomaides said that in 2010, the city’s population was at about 45,000. Seven years later, it had grown to 59,000, and the

population is expected to grow to about 85,000 in 2030. Hays County, meanwhile, is expected to grow to 315,000 residents. “We can’t wish away growth, and we can’t afford to bury our heads in the sand, hoping that it won’t happen,” he said. The mayor also spoke about balancing the needs of students with those of long-term residents, especially since San Marcos—once known largely as a college town—has now been recognized nationally as an ideal place to retire. The mayor wrapped up his address by pointing out the people and organizations that have helped San Marcos become a success: the Greater San Marcos Partnership, the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce, Keep San Marcos Beautiful, the San Marcos Mural Arts programs, and all of the city’s staff. “Thanks for reminding us, reminding me, every day, why I chose San Marcos,” Thomaides said, “and why for me, and for thousands of others, it will always be home.” San Marcos CISD Superintendent Michael Cardona didn’t hold back. He addressed the elephants in the room: reputation, overcrowded classrooms and continued growth.

104 • 2018 San Marcos Chamber Welcome Guide

Cardona stated, “It is absolutely critical that in the city of San Marcos, that we have to be the military center, the workforce center and the college center.” He spoke on the Career and Technical Education programs and dual language initiatives that the district is growing. Halfway through his presentation, Cardona was met by a robot operated by the San Marcos High School Robotics Club with a bottle of water—showcasing the immense talent in San Marcos. He then continued with insight into how the school district was preparing to face the influx of people the mayor mentioned. Presenting photos of classrooms extending into the hallways, he made it clear the school district cannot sit back idly, but must prepare for the future. Cardona, like the mayor, has made San Marcos his home and is working to make SMCISD a district to watch when it comes to innovation and culture. Since the 2017 State of the City Luncheon, the residents of San Marcos voted for bond elections, better funding for public safety and renovations and new facilities for the school district at no tax increase.t

TRANSPORTATION AFFECTS SAN MARCOS AT ALL LEVELS LEADERS SPEAK AT TRANSPORTATION SUMMIT

BY JACK MCCLELLAN Last October, the San Marcos Area Chamber of Commerce convened a panel of experts to discuss transportation issues facing the region, particularly surrounding the Interstate 35 corridor. With rapid growth in the greater San Marcos area the Chamber decided it was time to start the discussion in San Marcos. Mike Heiligenstein, executive director of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority, moderated the discussion. The panel included Capitol Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) chair Will Conley, CAMPO executive director Ashby Johnson, Texas State Representative Jason Isaac and Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff. “The congestion we are seeing in our everyday lives impacts us on an economic level, a social level, a family level,” Heiligenstein said. “It’s our responsibility to make sure the public understands that there is going to have to be a number of solutions going forward.” Isaac agreed. “It’s a good educational opportunity to learn about some of the transportation issues that we have in this incredibly fast-growing area and what some of the solutions are.” Several potential solutions to various transportation issues were put forth by the panel, ranging from immediate to speculative. Conley mentioned the addition of managed, or toll, lanes on I-35. The effect

of new technologies was also a topic of discussion. Isaac, in particular, spoke about his hope for technological answers. “We need to invest in, encourage, or just get out of the way of innovation,” Isaac said The panel also discussed additional improvements to existing highway systems, a regional arterial study being conducted by CAMPO to provide alternatives to freeway travel and even the possibility of high-speed rail. With the high rate of growth in the region—Hays County was the fourth fastest growing county in the nation in 2017, according to population figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau—transportation and traffic issues promise to increase. “It would be irresponsible for public officials not to take this issue of congestion and transportation very seriously, because it’s going to get worse,” Heiligenstein said. The panel’s wide-ranging discussion addressed the complexity of the growing problem. “There is no one solution for all the thousands of issues we have with transportation,” Conley said. “Obviously, our congested corridors on I-35 is the 800-pound gorilla in the room, but we have issues all throughout the region. That’s what comes when you have a 50-to-60-year-old system that was built for a different place and a different time.” The question, however, is not only how to

fix the region’s transportation woes, but also how to pay for the fixes. “Financing is the overarching issue,” Heiligenstein said. “All the cheap stuff is done. You’re talking about expensive projects now. We can’t just say it’s too expensive to do. We have to figure out how to deal with them, how to build them.” The passage of Hays County Propositions One and Seven on the recent bond election were mentioned positively by the panel. While there were no obvious answers to the region’s transportation issues or how to pay for them, the importance of regional cooperation was a consensus among the panel. “We want to make sure we spend the dollars we do get as well as possible,” Wolff said. “The way we do that is with a regional mindset.” “Road projects and transportation projects don’t just stop at a city or county line,” Heiligenstein said. “It’s crazy to think we can move forward on our transportation solutions without looking at the region as a whole. We have become a regional economy, and because of that we need to make sure we have a road structure that can get people to where they need to get.” Conley summed up the panel’s thoughts. “If we are going to be successful, it’s going to take local, regional and state jurisdictions working together.”

CITIZEN OF THE YEAR JOHN SCHOTT OF FROST BANK For more than 40 years, John Schott has been a man known for humility, leadership and dedication to San Marcos. A confidant of small business owners, he served the community as a banker with determination, a mentor with understanding, and a force to be reckoned with when it comes to understanding how to grow small businesses. Schott is known for stepping up to the plate when no one else would and sticking his neck out for what he believes in — making him not only well-respected but admired. When asked to describe him, former employees, friends and colleagues most often used the word “selfless.” In the early 2000s, Schott became

Market President for Frost San Marcos, but his involvement didn’t start there. Since the 1980s he has been involved with the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce (Past President), Greater San Marcos Partnership (Past President), McCoy College of Business Advisory Board, Texas State Athletic Steering Committee, Texas State Performing Arts Center, Scheib Opportunity Center, St. John’s Catholic Church, and the Hays County Women’s Shelter, to name a few. John has and continues to leave his mark on our community, making him a worthy recipient of the Citizen of the Year award.

EDUCATION PARTNER OF THE YEAR ED RIOS OF MICROSOFT Ed Rios, the Chamber’s Education Partner of the Year, personifies what the award represents through his exemplary contributions to the education of San Marcos youth. Rios was the mastermind behind the San Marcos STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Fair, now a three-yearold established and cherished part of each year’s curriculum. Rios has also been instrumental in guiding businesses and organizations — committees and groups — on using social media as an information tool against a backdrop of ever-changing technology. His dedication to future generations has spanned more than 30 years.
