FATHOM ACADEMY Training Heroes in
TOWN & COUNTRY
Georgetown Just outside historic George-
town is a nondescript building that is home to something so tremendous and, literally, oneof-a-kind, Georgetown-ians should be saving space on Facebook to brag about it. In that building is Fathom Academy, founded and run by Charles Barton Bollfrass. This trailblazing facility provides indoor swift-water rescue training, year round, for law enforcement and emergency management, as well as a set for Hollywood movies. As a former Navy EOD diver, Barton is an expert on "worst possible scenarios" and the dangers they pose to professionals. The mission of Fathom Academy is to prepare rescue teams for what to expect in a flood and, ultimately, reduce the 31 percent swift water rescuer fatality rate nationwide. "We have federal, state, movie producers and other municipalities looking for a safer and cleaner way to train in the water. We can create a real-world flood environment that is safe, clean and repeatable, so teams can train to fail." Barton explains; training to fail allows a specialist to test and fail without causing harm. Knowing 99 ways that don't work is as important as knowing one that will.
The value of his indoor facility includes pumps that can simulate three-knot water speed with white caps, but will not sweep a rescuer 'downstream' further than the end of the pool. Chlorinated water means no rainwater— which, in nature, contains flesh-eating bacteria, so even a scratch underwater runs the risk of serious infection. Barton says two rescuers die each year from a water-borne infection. His tanks are also heated to allow teams to train longer and focus on maneuvers. Not only do his pumps provide the "swift" water, the room also has wind fans, thunder, sirens, and a spotlight to simulate a helicopter hovering overhead, which can be blinding. He can place objects in the pool to simulate uneven underwater terrain, and accustom rescuers to expecting the unexpected. "If you've only trained in a lake on a sunny day (because it's difficult and dangerous to do otherwise) being asked, then, to execute maneuvers in a raging river, during a nighttime storm, with trees and debris coming at you underwater, choppers flying, and a victim clawing at you in a panic... is like being pushed off a building and being asked to fly, but make a cake, and talk on the phone while you're doing it." His curriculum, developed in collaboration with Dr. Anita
Greenberg, has been proven in the field, and in May 2017 they received the best possible review of the course, which Barton says made it all worthwhile. A Director in Georgia reported that for the first time in a flood situation, his entire team came home safely, thanks to Fathom training. Fathom buys automobiles from Facebook or CraigsList, drains them completely, to prevent water contamination, and allows teams to tear them up. While speaking to City Insider, he was supervising a proprietary team using Jaws of LifeÂŽ to remove mannequins from vehicles nearly submerged. The biggest challenge Barton faces is getting the word out to the people he believes need this training most. "First responders tend to only listen to each other, so when today's team pushes out their video and photos, they will be helping us get the word out that we are here. We are safe, controlled, and allow people to be in the moment, mentally, so they can acquire automaticity in a crisis. We can't trust the weather in Texas to give us just enough rain at the
right time, or not too much, to practice often enough in a tiny little window of time." Fathom is the only facility of its kind in the world and, to date, they have trained people from Hawaii to Georgia, including the FBI. Courses can be completed in a day and at the end of the day, they put in a new car, reset the tank and no matter the weather outside, they can jump "back to 1". You see, Barton also spent ten years as a movie producer; he even won the SXSW festival in 2008; so while he knows a lot about the reality and dangers associated with underwater operations, as a movie-maker, he knows how to re-create it perfectly for the sake and safety of others. And before you start to think this amazing facility doesn't mean much to an average citizen, he is considering, in the future, having open house days during which civilian groups or individuals can get in the car and experience the sensation of being in a flood. Even a few moments of recognition or familiarity, in a panic situation, could be enough to save your own life.

MAYOR'S UPDATE • BY DALE ROSS
Census: Georgetown 7th Fastest-growing City in U.S.
Last month, the U.S.
Census Bureau released population estimates showing that Georgetown is ranked seventh on the list of fastest-growing cities in the country with a population of more than 50,000. Georgetown’s growth rate was 5.2 percent from July 1, 2017, through July 1, 2018, resulting in a population estimate of 74,180. Now I promise, we’re not trying to be the fastest-growing city in the U.S. Frankly, people choose Georgetown because we are a safe city with a high-quality of life, great parks, an award-winning library, a low tax rate, and the Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas. We recognize what a great place Georgetown is, and others recognize it, too. Certainly one reason we are attracting so many people is that Georgetown is well-positioned in a fast-growing metro area.
We are working to make the most of opportunities to bring high-quality employers to our city, while preserving Georgetown’s authentic charm and character. We’re fortunate to have like-minded partners such as Southwestern University, Georgetown ISD, Williamson County, St. David’s, and Sun City, too. Georgetown was the sixth fastest-growing city in the U.S. on the list released last year by the Census. In 2017, Georgetown was the fifth fastest-growing city in the U.S., the fastest in 2016, and the second fastest in 2015. Our population was 47,400 in the 2010 census. According to the Census estimate, Georgetown added 26,780 residents with a growth rate of 56.5 percent from 2010 to 2018. The addition of new residents and businesses does help the City maintain one of the lowest tax rates in the region. This growth helps fund the infrastructure
needed to prepare for our residents. In fact, we are on pace to complete a decade’s worth of voter approved road bonds in just seven years. We’re kidding ourselves if we think we can stop growth. According to the Texas Demographic Center, the Austin region is expected to more than double in size by the year 2050. Central Texas will go from 2 million in population to 5 million. What is Georgetown doing to prepare for the growth we know is coming? In the summer of 2016, the Economic Development Department conducted a workforce analysis to determine the supply, demand, and gap of workers and skill sets. According to current projections, five industry clusters will account for 75 percent of all new jobs. Those five areas are healthcare, retail, electronics, entertainment, and construction. These projections are all
consistent with the recent investments we’ve seen in Georgetown. These are some of the projects planned or underway which each can be seen as the result of our growing population: • Wolf Crossing – a 600,000-square-foot retail development at the southeast corner of Interstate 35 and University Avenue along the San Gabriel River, with stores opening the end of this year • Sedro Crossing – a 170,000-square-foot speculative professional office development on Williams Drive currently under construction • Westinghouse Road
Corporate Center – a 95,000-square-foot speculative flex development over five buildings on Westinghouse Road • Inner Vision – a speculative flex development expanding with an additional 22,000 square feet currently under construction on SE Inner Loop • Wolf Lakes Village – a 164-acre, master-planned development with office, retail, and residential elements on the northwest corner of I-35 and University Avenue with plans to break ground on the first phase later this year All of these developments, along with new
infill projects in our historic downtown, are evidence of Georgetown’s growing population and vibrant economy. These types of investments and partnerships are what allow us to protect and maintain the safe, smalltown feel that our residents expect us to preserve. City Council is committed to preserving Georgetown’s unique charm and character - from the San Gabriel River, to its great school district and Southwestern University, to having the Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas – because these are the reasons why people choose to make Georgetown their home.

no matter the item, he can help a client get a true value and a fair price. "I’m trying to save guns from people who won’t treat them right or appreciate them, but it's more than the firearms. It's about being around people who aren't experts and need help. I plan to build a panel of people whom I trust, who can advise on all kinds of topics to help clients through their own transitions. I just can't be witness to anyone being taken advantage of." Wade says he can purchase firearms to re-sell in his store, or help clients sell them online at a good price. He provides appraisals at no cost and can recommend honest buyers or brokers for other items who will buy at fair prices. He also has an extensive background in grading and valuing previous metals. "I met with a widow who said she didn't really trust anyone and had no idea about her husband's collectibles. She wanted me to buy them and wanted $200. I offered her $300 and then by the time I got back to the table, I had $400. She was grateful that now she could help her stepdaughter pay her rent. Stories like that... I don't care if
it was too much money for the items. At some point, I have to make it right for me and $100 bill is just a tool that enables me to do good things. And many times, the items I purchase become part of my own past; they hold much more memory value for me than money. I will always remember those ladies and how comforted they were to be treated fairly." As the youngest of seven kids, a loving father and family man, he understands how vulnerable families and widows can be when grieving, or even just in a tough spot. He's been working since he was 5 years old, understands the value of money, and says, "Meeting families and widows this year has given me a taste for the satisfaction of helping people and being part of their lives. I’m not out to be the guy looking for business. If you have a question let me help you. Let me provide no-cost help and advice."

Speakers regaled stories of her personality, dedication to her students and players, and how she always made personal connections with everyone around her.

NEWS FOR PAWS & CLAWS AND HOOVES & SNOUTS Hungry Like A Wolf? Not So Fast… by Dr. Nathan Carlton
One of the most common discussions I have with clients about their dogs involves food. There are hundreds of dog food options available—think multiple aisles just for dog food at pet stores. The Internet is full of information about different food choices, and Internet *specialists* give guidance to the masses about what dogs should (and shouldn’t) eat. Gluten free, grain free, raw food, vegan, organic,
12
natural food—the list goes on, and there are passionate arguments for each online. Clients are often surprised when I tell them that some grain-free diets have been linked to heart disease in dogs. UC Davis found grain-free diets containing legumes like peas, pea components, lentils, white potatoes, sweet potatoes can lead to Dilated Cardiomyopathy or DCM. DCM is a heart muscle disorder where the heart is too weak to pump properly and the chambers of the heart enlarge. This can be a fatal dietary complication that is totally preventable with the right food. After a quick online search for “best dog food diet” or “best dog food” I found a few sites that recommended a specific “Natural Grain Free” dog food diet with these exact ingredients in them. If this diet is fed to your dog without any other foods supplemented, it would be at risk for developing DCM. The FDA partnered with US Davis to put out an alert to inform the public about the risks posed by these foods, the link is here FDA.gov/ AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/ CVMUpdates/ucm613305.htm. Another diet that has become popular is the raw food diet, or Bones and Raw Food Diet (BARF). Bones can become stuck in the stomach or perforate intestine causing a surgical emergency. Uncooked, the meat can be contaminated with bacteria that cause intestinal disease in the dog, or in the people who handle the food. I frequently see marketing on the Internet that suggests this type of diet is better for dogs, arguing that since dogs came from wolves, and therefore returning to a more natural, raw diet will lead to fewer health problems, healthier weight, and a longer life. While that marketing is effective because we know dogs came from wolves and that wolves eat raw foods in the wild, it is a fallacy to think that this diet will help your dog. Dogs have been do-
mesticated for thousands of years and have evolved to depend on what people feed them. Your chihuahua is pretty far removed from the wolves of the Northern Rockies, so don’t feed him like he is a wolf. As consumers, we are subjected to a constant barrage of advertisements to buy more stuff. Marketing firms spend all their time and resources figuring out how to use our current knowledge against us to encourage us to buy a certain product.
DON’T FEED A DOG BARF BARF diets are not a healthy option for your dog, and they can make you sick as well when you handle them. Don’t feed a dog BARF. Grain-Free diets can cause heart disease; grain is actually a good source of nutrition, so don’t feed grain-free. Feed your dog a well-balanced diet that is appropriate for its life-stage. High quality foods are manufactured in their own facility; the company practices strict quality control measures; employs a board-certified veterinary nutritionist; and performs third-party, double-blind analysis of their foods. Many foods are co-packaged—made by several different manufacturers and do not practice food recalls. There are just a handful of companies that adhere to higher standards, and a good vet can guide you through them. The best advice for anyone concerned about their dog’s food is to talk to their vet during their next annual exam. After graduating from Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Carlton served four years in the United States Army as a Veterinary Corps Officer. He honed his clinical skill set working on these unique animal populations, and now brings that special knowledge to the community at Jarrell Animal Hospital. Dr. Carlton is a member of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners, American Association of Equine Practitioners, Texas Veterinary Medical Association, and he continues to serve in the United States Army Reserve.

Warriors on the Home Front: Father's Day Free Movie "Courageous"
JP3 Evelyn McLean wants to make
warriors on the home front by encouraging "Courageous" parenting. To do this, she has partnered with Jacob Schulman of City Lights Theaters to provide free showings of the 2011 motion picture on Father's Day, and perhaps later, to share a cinematic focus on fatherhood and importance the presence of a father can play in a child’s life. Mr. Schulman has generously provided his largest theater at the Wolf Ranch Parkway Cinema for two showings on June 16—1:00pm and 7:00pm—and there are just under 600 tickets available for pick up at JP3 at 100 Wilco Way in Georgetown. As if it weren't enough that he is showing the movie for free, he is pre-empting blockbuster showings of Godzilla to do so, and even posed the possibility of replacing a Toy Story 4 showing if there is a large enough response on the first weekend. "This is about making a difference; not a buck. The four pillars of the Schulman theater group are Family, Community, History, and Entertainment," Schulman says. "Being a parent is my passion and
making an impact with my own and others' kids is a privilege, so we are happy to be able to facilitate this special Father's Day event. Of all the movies about family, [Courageous] is probably my favorite, especially the inspirational closing speech." Judge McLean brainstormed the idea after a check of her docket showed a high number of truancy cases since January 1. "I was thinking about a friend mourning the loss of his own son and I sent him a gift he could use to spend special time with his other children. It just seemed like a natural next step to share that same experience with all parents. As a JP, I see everything from truancy, parents who want to relinquish parental rights, to youth suicide; so many hurting families. I see families that are father-absent and I am striving to find ways to ignite the spark to get or keep parents off the sidelines." McLean assures us, however, that the movie is an encouragement for any parent, regardless of individual family dynamics. "The job of parenting is full, with myriad challenges and going back to Scripture helps people remember what to do as a
father, mother or spouse and our community will be better for it." Schulman was so inspired by Judge McLean's idea, he has licensed the movie for all six Schulman locations in Texas and is developing a full-scale family event around the movie. "We will have gift bags for each child, with gift cards donated by Whataburger, Chick-fil-a, Sonic, 7-11, Williamson County Sheriff's Department, and Georgetown Fire and Police Departments. We will also have a photo booth and games for overflow crowds to spend time together even if they can't get in to the see movie right away." Schulman believes parenting can be a difficult subject to talk about, especially for men who feel like they can't admit they may have a shortcoming. But, as the fifth generation in the Schulman family movie business, his people have been promoting, experiencing and talking about movies since 1908, and family has always been a big part of everything they do. "This movie helped me understand the importance of going back to scripture and I wanted to be a better dad as a result." He defers any credit, however, to Judge McLean for her idea and is happy to help deliver the message. Judge McLean says, "This is about helping solve problems rather than merely punishing offenses." I also plan to send letters across my precinct to educate and inform families about the problems and consequences of truancy, which can affect parents as well as students. My truancy program will include a parenting component that will deal with many juvenile issues and hopefully support a healthy family dynamic." City Lights will be showing the official movie trailer for Courageous from June 1st through 15th so all movie-goers can get a glimpse of the impactful story and hopefully stop by JP3 to pick up free tickets. Call 512-943-1501 to check ticket supplies or get directions.
Storyline from IMDB.com Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, they face danger every day. Yet when tragedy strikes close to home, these fathers are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, and their faith. From this struggle will come a decision that changes all of their lives. With action, drama, and humor, the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures embraces God's promise to "turn the hearts of fathers to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers." Souls will be stirred, and hearts will be challenged to be ... courageous!
