FM 150 character plan moves forward BY JONATHAN GONZALEZ news@haysfreepress.com
Hays County officials continue to move forward with development of a Nature and Character Plan that will result in a Corridor Master Plan for FM 150 West in Hays County.
The character plan is a document that defines how best to provide the future capacity needed for FM 150 West. According to the improvefm150 website, development of FM 150 West provides the county an opportunity to plan ahead for the anticipated growth and related trans-

Barbershop expands with craft beer bar BY JONATHAN GONZALEZ news@haysfreepress.com
On the verge of the Barbershop’s sixth anniversary in January, local business owners John McIntosh and Dave Niemeyer sought to expand their enterprise. By moving into the space currently occupied by Mercantile Wine and Tapas, McIntosh and Niemeyer plan to open a craft beer bar that will house a taproom and a larger brewery along Mercer Street. “This new business will not be a second location for the Barbershop, but a way of focusing on brewing our own beer,” Niemeyer said. “The Barbershop was meant to be a craft beer bar [that produces small amounts of beer].

New video program to highlight city BY JONATHAN GONZALEZ
news@haysfreepress.com
With the help of an outside video production company, the city of Dripping Springs is vying to create a community video program meant to showcase the city. Bonnie Gonzalez, communications coordinator for Dripping Springs, said in a staff report earlier this month that the city will bring in CGI Communications to help with the program. CGI is a video production company based in Rochester, NY. “Through a series of custom videos, the program provides partners with a tool to promote tourism, educate and welcome future families and residents, recruit new business, and more,” Gonzalez said. Entering an agreement with CGI would be a “cost-free” partnership with or without local business sponsorships, Gonzalez said. “CGI provides all aspects of video production and editing. The finished video content will be viewable on our City’s website and can be posted on social media as well.” said Gonzalez. CGI’s involvement in Drip-

ping Springs has already started with the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce. Gonzalez said CGI is helping to create a series that’s centered around the chamber. “My understanding [is] that CGI initially reached out to the Dripping Springs Chamber of Commerce. Once its project began taking shape, CGI then reached out to the city to inquire about our participation as well,” said Gonzalez While the city will have to wait its turn to work with CGI, the prospects of the partnership make the wait worthwhile, Gonzalez said. “It’s a benefit for the community as a whole and especially those who are visiting our City
website to learn more about Dripping Springs,” Gonzalez said. “Being that we live in a digital age, and that this comes at no cost to the City, it makes sense to move forward with implementing informational videos on our website.” She added the most “difficult part” of the process could be choosing which topics will be highlighted in the four video series. “There is so much we could highlight. Once completed, City and Chamber website visitors alike will have a video that portrays the best our community has to offer with the click of a mouse. We look forward to working together on this project.” Gonzalez said.
Area realtor stands trial for DWI/ Manslaughter BY SAMANTHA SMITH
news@haysfreepress.com
A trial date has been set for a prominent Buda realtor who is accused of driving drunk and killing an Austin woman in a 2014 accident. Hays County District Attorney Wes Mau said the case involving Jason Tarr will go before Hays County Judge Jack Robison May 1, 2017. Mau said the reason for the May date is that many District Judges have a rotating schedule where they are in a different court in their district every month. Mau said Robison’s first availability to try the case was in March. However, due to the lack of witness availability at that time, the trial was moved to May 1. Tarr, who was indicted in 2015 by a Hays County grand jury, is accused of driving drunk and crashing his truck head-on into a Chrysler Sebring driven by Nancy Sterling-Dalton. Tarr was originally indicted on a charge of second-degree intoxication manslaughter. A charge of first-degree murder was added in 2015. As far as the speediness of the trial, Mau said he suspected it would take a little longer due to the manslaughter charge. “I think it will be longer than a typical DWI case because there is a death involved,” Mau said, “I estimate it will take a week to a week and a half.”

The local TV weather folks had been forecasting an arctic front, somethin’ tagged as a “Polar Vortex,” for the past week, but when was the last time those guys hit the nail on the head? I trust meteorologists about as much as toothless dental hygienists, but dang if they weren’t right this time. Yep, it got cold here right quick. How cold? Cold enough to turn my mucus-filled sinus cavity into an ice maker. Cold enough to turn my stud bull into a steer overnight.

kinda tough to be jolly when you are Christmas shopping in a hot, stuffy store with thousands of sweaty, stanky folks who will run their shopping carts smack-dab over some old guy standing in the aisle, wondering where the heck his wife is. But now, with all my shopping done, the Christmas tree up and our house ablaze with exterior illumination, I can sit out on the Crow’s Nest, wrapped up in winter clothes I had forgotten about, sipping cold beer through a straw (I learned my lesson), and reflect on the joy of Christmas.

REP. LAMAR SMITH AND CLIMATE CHANGE The majority and some of the deepest discussions and debates on Climate Change take place in Congressman Lamar Smith’s Space, Science and Technology Committee. Critics say this forum gives too much time to those in denial, too much time to experts funded by entities benefiting financially from business as usual, and too much weight to questionable science. However, like unexamined faith, unexamined science on Climate Change benefits no one. While I am personally convinced that the science is sufficiently clear to warrant action, I encourage a robust debate on climate change in good faith. I would also encourage Rep. Smith to include policy discussion in this debate, perhaps by inviting now-CEO of ExxonMobil and soonto-become Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, to testify before this
committee. Mr. Tillerson’s company clearly acknowledges the human causation of climate change, and further supports a businessfriendly price on carbon that Rep. Smith’s forum should add to their discussion. I encourage Rep. Smith to continue this frequent and ongoing forum as well as consider joining the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, a group of Representatives dedicated to working across the aisle together on common-sense economic solutions to this important issue.

The thriving House Sparrow Tolerated by some, admired by others BY JERRY HALL One bird I can count on year-round at my place is the house sparrow. These little brown birds were first brought to America from England in 1850 in an attempt to control canker-worms. Eight pair were released in Brooklyn but failed to survive. So 100 more birds were imported in 1852. They thrived. Big time. Unbelievably, more than a hundred cities in the U.S. and Canada released house sparrows in the next few years, mostly for insect control, but also because folks just liked the little sparrows. They first came to Texas in the late 1860s, imported by James M. Brown. By 1880, their nests had clogged Galveston’s water system and the sparrows had driven away many native songbirds, including the mockingbird. Sentiment turned against the spar-

rows and some civic leaders were recommending they be killed. Sparrow pot-pie became a favored item on many menus. Today, house sparrows are tolerated by some and admired by others. But one thing is certain; they are one of the most successful species of birds when it comes to living around humans. They are smart, they are tough and they are here to stay.

Continued from pg. 1 crash data, as well as human and natural environment constraint data. According to data presented to stakeholders, 98 crashes between January 2010 and June 2014 were assessed. A majority of those accidents involve no or possible injuries. Three of those accidents were fatal. The team then reviewed data from 44 accidents that occurred on FM 150 from July 2014 to August 2016. According to the data, 66 percent of the accidents involved no injures. There was only one fatal accident during that time. According to findings, there was a significant portion of fixed object
crashes, while a majority of crashes were non-intersection related. Most crashes occurred when weather was clear. According to the findings, the “potential influence” of narrow shoulders, isolated or tight curves and non-recoverable sections of the roadway contributed to accidents. Part of the process will include three Citizen Advisory Panel Meetings as a means of gauging and involving residents in addressing issues of interest regarding the Character Plan. The next CAP will be held Jan. 19, 2017 at the Dripping Springs High School Lecture Hall from 6 to 8 p.m.

Below, Tiger guard Madi North speeds by Lake Travis Cavalier guard Natalie Paxton during a tournament game played at Tiger Gym. Dripping Springs opened 26-5A play with a loss to Seguin at home last week.
BY LOGAN MCCULLOUGH
news@haysfreepress.com
A 21-point second half from senior guard Cortlin Buchanan led the Seguin Matadors to a 44-29 victory over the Dripping Springs Lady Tigers Friday night in Tiger Gym. In the first matchup between both teams in over five years, each program got off to a timid start as they tried to figure one another out. Although poor outside shooting plagued the Tigers all night, Dripping Springs relied on its defense and were able to find occasional holes in the middle of Seguin’s 2-3 zone. That allowed Dripping Springs to take a 7-6 lead into the second frame. In a back-and-forth second quarter, Dripping Spring’s offense lost both its rhythm and the lead, as Seguin took an 18-14 lead at halftime. After shooting 20 percent from the field and trailing by only four points, Dripping Springs head coach Laura Joiner said her and her team were confident going into the third quarter. However, this short-lived confidence proved moot as Buchanan went on a tear in the second half. Buchanan scored 21 of the Matadors’ 26 second half points, including four three-pointers. After Dripping Springs sophomore guard Julia Graham dropped 32 points on Kerrville-Tivy earlier in the week, Joiner said it was an eye-opening experience for her team to see an opposing player have a 30-point game of her own. “From Tuesday to Friday, having two different type of feelings, it was like, ‘Man, my kid was going crazy knocking down shots,” said Joiner. “Then we turn around Friday and it’s happening to us. So for the first two games of district, it gave us a good idea of what we’re gonna face the rest of the way.” Although Buchanan had “the game of her life,” Joiner said it was the Tigers’ lack of offensive production that was the reason for the loss. Seguin played an active 2-3 zone, which Dripping Springs has not seen much of this season. The combination of constant pressure on Tiger guards and major height disadvantages in the paint caused Dripping Springs to struggle to get open. Subsequently, Dripping Springs struggled to generate rhythm
“From Tuesday to Friday, having two different type of feelings, it was like, ‘Man, my kid was going crazy knocking down shots ... Then we turn around Friday and it’s happening to us. So for the first two games of district, it gave us a good idea of what we’re gonna face the rest of the way.” – Laura Joiner, Tiger head coach
as well. Joiner said everything she and her team had seen on tape showed Seguin using a press defense. “When we saw them in a 2-3 zone instead of a press, we thought that was playing into our hands,” said Joiner. “Ironically, it was the opposite.” The Tigers are a team that thrives on playing with speed, and their defense is built to create a lot of their offense. However, Seguin slowed the Tigers down, forcing Dripping Springs to play a half-court offense that seemed unnatural. Although Joiner said the Tigers were well-prepared, she admits
Seguin’s defensive switch took the Tigers out of their game plan. “You gotta give them credit,” said Joiner. “I thought they played really well, however I do think if we shoot better there is a different result. We’ll get that fixed next time, I promise that.” After splitting their first two district games, the Tigers have a 10-day break from competition. After the holiday break they will have three days of practice before traveling to Lockhart to look to continue their unbeaten streak on the road. Tipoff on Friday, Dec. 30 is set for 6 p.m. in Lockhart.

But this will be a larger brewery and taproom.” The location of the brewery will be where the Mercantile has been for over two and a half years, which McIntosh and Niemeyer also own. “We’ve wanted the brewery to grow. But with the way things were going, we were spending a lot of time at the restaurant. We were doing less brewing than we wanted, and we just didn’t have the business to expand the Barbershop,” McIntosh said. It’s a move that’s been in the works for years. It wasn’t until recently when McIntosh and Niemeyer found the right locale to house their business idea. “We’d previously thought about expanding to South Austin, but it didn’t fit the business model we wanted to follow. We wanted to keep that group feel in Dripping Springs. So we thought about it, and it made a lot more sense to do the expansion here,” Niemeyer said. The new space will allow for construction of a larger brewhouse, McIntosh said. “In the Barbershop, we were lucky to have one or two taps running, but now we’re shooting to have at least six running at one time,” McIntosh said.

With the extra space and their required alcohol sales licenses already in place, McIntosh and Niemeyer only need to file paperwork with the state in order to move forward with opening their new business. The two estimate possibly opening their venture in early 2017. “We don’t have any control over that timeline, so it’ll just be a waiting game from there. As long as things go well, we’re shooting to open around mid-tolate February,” Niemeyer said. A name for the new location is currently under wraps as McIntosh and Niemeyer are working on graphics for their business logo.

Joined by members of the community, former city council members and city staff members, the Buda City Council in September celebrated an earlier announcement that Deep Eddy Vodka was planning to open a new facility in the city. Last week, an agreement was finalized securing Deep Eddy’s move to Buda. Shown above is the second production facility, located in a vacant warehouse on Precision Drive.
Deep Eddy, Buda finalize agreement for additional distillery

BY LOGAN MCCULLOUGH
news@haysfreepress.com
The proverbial red tape surrounding Deep Eddy Vodka’s expansion to Buda has officially been cut as an agreement for the new 194,000-square-foot distillery was finalized earlier this week. “Everything is a go at this point,” said Buda Mayor Todd Ruge. The city of Buda announced in September that Deep Eddy Vodka was making the move following the passage of an incentives package by the Buda City Council. Deep Eddy, which is owned by the Heaven Hills brand, a Kentucky sprits company, current has a production facility and tasting room in Dripping Springs. However the move was premature and the finalization of the agreement came only late last week, according to Deep Eddy officials. “We will begin using the facility in January to store product, but production will not begin at that facility until May,” said John Scarborough, President of Deep Eddy Vodka. In addition to the Buda City Council passage of incentives, the Hays County Commissioner court also had its own incentive package that was finalized at an Oct. 18 meeting. Ann Miller, Executive Director of the Buda Economic Development Corp. (EDC) thanked the court for its action and said that this move allows Deep Eddy to grow both now and for the foreseeable future, and ultimately keeps the business in Hays County. Adrianna Cruz, president of the Greater San Marcos Partnership,

Capital investment during Deep Eddy’s first year of operation
shared Miller’s sentiment for appreciation of the court’s decision, citing specifics of the agreed upon incentives for the county. “This is an important expansion and retention for Hays County,” Cruz said. “The net benefit to the county at the end of 10 years will be $878,000 and an additional $1.1 million going to the school district.” On the piece of land that Deep Eddy will renovate stands a building that has been dormant for years. Ruge believes that once the distillery completes its improvements, the property value will increase, drastically
increasing the amount of property tax the city receives. “The thing most exciting to me is the benefit to the school district,” Ruge said. “It will greatly benefit from this additional tax revenue that’s going to come out of this.” Although original estimates called for 20 jobs, Scarborough said it is very likely that they will hire many more jobs than 20 over the next decade. “I would assume a lot of the initial jobs will be the current workers they have in Dripping Springs,” Ruge said. “As they expand and the operation grows more people will be added.”

Bringing coffee to the moon and back Local coffee shop continues Hays County expansion BY JONATHAN GONZALEZ news@haysfreepress.com
An Austin-based coffee shop with locations in Buda and just outside of Dripping Springs is looking to expand to Kyle, San Marcos and even Frisco in the coming year. Justin Terry, co-owner of Summermoon, said the coffee shop has embraced growth as part of their mission in recent years as they’ve overseen the opening of over five new locations in the last three years and with more to come. Terry said his fatherin-law and his brotherin-law began the business by opening their own coffee shop in 2001. “Around 2003, they decided that they wanted to roast their own coffee. They started off with a small, seven-pound roaster, which grew their following, which allowed them to upgrade to a commercial roaster,” Terry said. Not long after, Terry joined the family business with his wife by opening the first Summermoon Coffee Shop in Austin in 2005.
“As our following grew, I knew that we had something there that could be grow, whether as a franchise, or something else, I knew we had what was needed to grow.” – Justin Terry, co-owner of Summermoon
“My father-in-law and brother-in-law essentially closed down their shop to focus on roasting, which allowed us to open up our spot in South Austin,” Terry said. For many years, the Summermoon Coffee Shop consisted of the one location, but Terry knew there was the potential
for growth, even in the early years. “As our following grew, I knew that we had something there that could be grow, whether as a franchise, or something else, I knew we had what was needed to grow,” said Terry. Since then, the business has opened up more locations in Austin, Buda and San Antonio in the last three years. Additionally, the business has had licensees open up their own independent shops that use the business’ name and products. Terry credits the success of their business to their model, which utilizes a unique method of roasting coffee and their own original products. The process is hands-on and utilizes a large, brick oven that helps with roasting the beans. “We have to pay attention at all times while roasting. There are no gauges to read, no buttons to push, so we have to roast by sight, sound and smell. It’s a long process, but it’s been fun being able to do this with family for so many years,” Terry said.
