Redistricting panel seeks input on map for Oak Hill district by Bobbie Jean Sawyer OAK HILL - The Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC), a fourteen-member group working to draw a map of ten single-member City Council districts, will hold a second public forum Wednesday, September 21 at 6:30 p.m. at the Travis County Precinct 3 Justice of the Peace Building. The forum is designed to gather feedback from residents of Precinct 3. The first forum was held last Wednesday, August 21, after the Gazette had gone to press. For coverage of that meeting go to the Oak Hill Gazette website at oakhillgazette.com. Commission member Magdalena Blanco said the commission considers specific information on neighborhoods and communities
when discussing district boundaries. “We really just listen to anything and everything citizens have to say that we feel are important factors in the area that we can take back with us for decision-making purposes,” Blanco said. Individuals planning to speak are asked to sign in before the meeting. All speakers will have three minutes to make their presentations to the commission. The ICRC was formed in light of the passage of Proposition 3, a City Charter amendment calling for more evenly distributed City Council geographical representation, in November 2012. The charter was modeled after a redistricting charter in San Diego and unlike anything in the history of Austin, Blanco said. See PANEL on back page

After-school programming to be offered at Small Middle School by Ann Fowler Clint Small Middle School is working with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Austin (BGC) to bring after-school programs to the campus. PTA President Benita Trevino said, “It is a question that comes up at every 6th grade parent orientation I have attended.” Small Middle School Assistant Principal De’Sean Roby told the Gazette, “Small will serve as the first fee-based club here in the Austin area with financial aid available. Overall, the campus will function like all other clubs in the city. Activities will be held on campus after school from 3:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.” She said the program would include academic, athletic, technology and art-based activities. Roby said the collaboration occurred through discussions between the Small administration and BGC. She said, “Both entities are interested in expanding the services offered by the BGC to all economic groups. The collaboration will support the campus’ focus of having an inclusive school culture.” BGC is an offshoot of the national Boys and Girls Clubs of America, which began in the 1860s in Hartford, Connecticut. The Austin group began operating in 1967 on the site of the original St. Ignatius Catholic Church on West Johanna. Michael Meyer, the BGC Director of Human Resources and Administration, told the Gazette, “Since 2001 we’ve grown from three clubs to eighteen. And the number of kids we serve is up over 700 percent.” He attributed the growth to “investing in kids instead of real estate.” Meyer said, “We’ve partnered with our friends at Austin ISD, Del Valle ISD, HACA [Housing Authority of the City of Austin] and Southwest Key Programs to our mutual benefit. They provide the facilities and we provide the staffing and programs. The results are better students, better citizens, and ultimately, a better world.” BGC operates in 18 schools in the Austin and Del Valle independent school districts. Meyer said, “Club members have higher

Meyer said an added benefit for parents is alleviating the logistics of getting children from school to an off-site program. He added, “This

Never let it be said that the Spouseman ignores his readers. I recently checked my inbox and found myself inundated with an e-mail, which lamented the fact that I haven’t tested you guys with a Quizzical Quotes contest in ages. I figured we’d seen the end of QQ, seeing as how the last time we did this, three of you wrote in threatening physical violence (I won’t name full names, Ronnie, Margene, and Achmed) and I ended up in protracted litigation with the estate of Aesop’s Fables claiming copyright infringement. But. Ye have spoken, and thee has listened. Besides, the nifty column I had drafted about the quirky personalities in my neighborhood didn’t make it past my copy editor (that being my lovely wife)—so you’re safe for now, Ronnie, Margene, and Achmed. The object of QQ is simple: give me the more popular version of the quotes, sayings, poems, tidbits, cereal boxtops, song titles, book titles, phrases, expressions, adages, aphorisms, platitudes and proverbs you see below. For example, the more well-known version of “I’ll take freedom or croaking” is … anyone? Bueller? Come on, it’s “Give me liberty or give me death.” Dig? Dug. First 10 of you who e-mail me at rogdude@mail.com with anything close to the correct answers win a nifty “Jesus Is Coming, Hide the Bong” bumper sticker. First 10 of you who e-mail me your PayPal account information and anything close to the correct answers win two bumper stickers and a VIP seat at my book-signing party (to be announced as soon as I hear back from my guy Larry at Self-Publish America). So here goes. I was going to go with 50 of them, but I got tired. Sue me. 1. “You are not just puckering your lips and melodiously blowing a tune popular in the Old South.”

The Word from Oak Hill Mike Jasper The word from Oak Hill is... benefit. As in a benefit for a critically injured Austin firefighter on Sunday, Sept. 1 at Stubb’s Restaurant downtown on Red River from 6-10:30 p.m. Last June, firefighter Colin Camp rode his bike down Manchaca Road near Slaughter Lane on a bright Tuesday afternoon when a motorist—who later admitted he had been taking Ambien—struck him from behind. His body sailed 50 feet, and as a result Camp is still in a coma some two months later. Old news? Not to me. I work with Colin’s father, Richard Camp, and if his son is half as nice as his dad, Colin’s one great guy. Here’s what his boss had to say about the 33-year-old firefighter to KVUE-TV. “Colin is one of our best firefighters—very kind and well-liked gentlemen. And all of our firefighters are hoping for a very quick recovery,” Battalion Chief Palmer Buck with AFD said. It only costs $10 for the benefit, which features bands Residual Kid, Charlie Bell, Peterson Brothers, Bare Feet, and Only Human. Go. It’ll be the best ten bucks you’ve spent all year. • • • What’s up with all these absentee restaurant owners? I went to Hecho En Mexico last week and asked if owner Mario was around, but no, he’s up north keeping an eye on his new restaurant in the Steiner Ranch area of north Austin (read: yuppie area). And you never see Jack and Tom at

This time owner Dennis says he’s not using a trailer. “It’s a bus, kind of a woody really. I might even put some surfboards on top of it.” Dennis got a bus so he could be more mobile. Besides the Lakeshore location, he plans to attend more events and take part in Austin’s rich tourist-and-convention trade. That said, he’ll still keep the trailer on Oak Meadow where it belongs.

Austin Custom Winery is moving to Sunset Valley off Brodie Lane at the Homestead Center next to Tarka and Men’s Warehouse, behind BJ’s. Owner Mary Charron says her winery features Amarone Red, Brunello, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Blackberry Merlot, Peach Chardonnay, Ports and Ice wines. Also, customized labels can be ordered for bottles to commemorate events or weddings, company logos, or even holiday greetings. They’ll also feature unique wine accessories, just as they did in the old store. Mary says she hopes to have the new shop open by Aug. 27. At the same time, over on Hwy. 290 at William Cannon, a new joint opened up called JuiceLand. Well, it’s new to me anyway, as there are four other JuiceLand locations in Austin. According to the press release, JuiceLand serves up unique smoothies and vegan meals. Fresh fruit smoothies include apple, banana
and strawberries, just as you’d expect. But veggie smoothies feature carrots, kale, ginger and other vegetables you wouldn’t expect to find in a smoothie. “We’ve had great customer feedback and people are really happy they can get a delicious, healthy drink or snack on the go.” said Casey Willson, JuiceLand’s PR representative. “The idea of receiving an organic, fresh-squeezed green juice through a drive thru window is pretty foreign to most people, including us, but we couldn’t be happier!” That might be the oddest quote I’ve ever read in a press release, but what can I say? It must have worked. It’s in the newspaper, after all. One other tidbit: CitySearch voted JuiceLand “Best Juice Cleanse in Austin” recently. Cool. I’ve always wanted to take a bath in banana juice.

Commissioner’s Corner
Precinct 3
The area of the original Travis County (then known as the Travis District) was approximately 40,000 square miles. Since today’s Travis County is about 990 square miles, what happened to those other approximately 39,000 square miles?

The question of sizes is answered by of counties as compared to cities… that counties are created by the state sub-sections (1) and (2). Here’s the and cities are created by citizens of shortened version, in plain language: a local area. We touched on the “New counties must be at least 700 establishment of the Commissioners square miles in area...

Since counties are needed to support all new county sub-divisions of the state, they are functions probably makes that governed by the State Constitution. impractical. Before we get into specifics of For the question of “under what rules”, the answer is the TEXAS County Government today, let’s look CONSTITUTION. How counties at some interesting history to gain are created is answered by AR- a perspective on how we arrived at TICLE 9, Section 1- CREATION present day Travis County. Our current constitution is the OF COUNTIES. Here’s the first sentence…”The Legislature shall seventh in Texas history. Our very
first was when we were still part of the Mexican state of “Coahuila y Tejas”. Upon gaining independence from Mexico in 1836, our next one was the 1836 Constitution of the Republic of Texas. Before our present day constitution, Texas was also ruled by the state constitutions of 1845, 1861, 1866, and 1869. Our current constitution was framed and written by the Constitutional Convention of 1875, and adopted on February 15, 1876 (by a vote of 136,606 to 56,652). For you history buffs, more detailed information can be found by googling “History of the Texas Constitution”. Here’s a couple of interesting things that happened locally before Travis County was formed… On December 27, 1839 the community called Waterloo was renamed and created as the City of Austin by the Republic of Texas Congress. About 3 weeks later (on January 19, 1840) Austin was designated as the capital of the Republic of Texas. When established in 1836, the Republic of Texas formed 23 counties. Present day Travis County did not yet exist… its area was part of a much larger Bastrop County (one of the original 23 counties). The original Travis County was established
August 22-September 4, 2013 ... 7
on January 25, 1840 (making Austin the county seat) by the same 4th Texas Congress that had, just 6 days before, approved the City of Austin as the Republic’s capital. From our Texas history classes, we should all know that our county was named in honor of William Barret Travis, commander of Republic of Texas forces at the Battle of the Alamo in San Antonio. On February 21, 1840 the first election for Travis County officials occurred… from a reported population of only 856 people. By the time Travis County was formed, 32 Texas counties had been created (9 more than the original 23). The area of the original Travis County (then known as the Travis District) was approximately 40,000 square miles. Since today’s Travis County is about 990 square miles, what happened to those other approximately 39,000 square miles? Between 1846 and 1858 several
more counties were created by carving out areas from the “Travis District”. You’ll be familiar with these names….Comal, Gillespie, Hayes, Burnet, Lampasas. Not so familiar names…Brown, Callahan, Coleman, Eastland, Runnels (since they’re far northwest of us in the I-20 area close to Abilene). Again for you history buffs, detailed information about the history of Travis County can be found on the Travis County Archives website, www.traviscountyhistory.org/tchistory. On that site you can also find links to other local history and archives, including the very enlightening Austin History Center. Following this “history lesson”, next time we’ll look at the current status of Travis County’s legal authorities and powers… and my role in carrying those out as your Precinct 3 Commissioner.

Lady Maroons play in AISD Tournament by Patrick Olson
Gazette:Emmeline R. Aguirre
In her second season leading a varsity volleyball team, coach Marie Putman must replace three players who took their talent to the next level. “We were pretty fortunate to have that many girls go on to play in college,” the Austin High Lady Maroons coach said, referring to departed athletic performers Kate Brodnax, Dulce Duran and Wren Overesch. When asked what was the biggest thing she learned last year, Putman replied, “Learning how to allow the players to be leaders themselves while also leading them as a coach.” Austin High participated in nine matches last weekend at the AISD Tournament. The Maroons defeated Hutto and Travis on Thursday, but lost to Fredericksburg. On Friday, Austin High topped McCallum, but lost to Anderson and Hutto. Putman’s crew cruised past San Antonio Roosevelt and Poth on Saturday, before bowing out to Stony
Point in the championship game for their pool. “We’re a young team,” said the coach. “Our players were learning the pace of varsity competition at the AISD Tournament. We have to quicken up our pace and be scrappy because we aren’t very big. We have to out work every team we face. I was pleased. We were able to compete with any team we faced.” Seniors Caroline Phillips and Carly Johnson provide veteran guidance at libero and outside hitter for Putman. Emily Mawer gained varsity experience last year, and Hannah Stinson will serve as the team’s primary setter after recording numerous assists on the junior varsity club. Freshman Angela Campbell works at right side while Breanna Jackson elevates from the freshman team to operate at middle blocker as a sophomore. Austin High hosts Georgetown on Friday with varsity action set to commence at 7 p.m.
Bowie girls fight to maintain the lead in game four of Tuesday’s road win over McCallum.
Lady Cougars sweep Lady Dawgs defeat McCallum by Patrick Olson
by Patrick Olson Led by a pair of tall middle blockers, the Bowie volleyball team defeated McCallum Tuesday night 25-20, 13-25, 25-22, 25-17. “I was pleased we got kills in the middle,” coach Jason Landers said afterward. “We got Kennedy (Godsey) and Ellie (Crosley) involved. We didn’t play our best volleyball. We’re still trying to find ourselves.” Setter Ashley Adams joined Kellen Dunn, Dana Neal, Sydney James, Godsey and Crosley in the starting lineup for the Lady Dawgs. The visitors fell behind 7-3 early and Landers substituted Keely Penn for Neal. Bowie eventually took the lead
22-21 when Shelby Johnson set up Eden Kasprak for a kill. Alicia Morales laid out for a dig defensively before Dunn delivered the clinching final point with a kill. McCallum built a 22-9 advantage in the second game before Crosley quickly flicked the ball over the net for a Bowie point. Johnson served an ace shortly afterward and Crosley crushed another kill, but the Lady Knights prevailed 25-13. Adams began serving in the subsequent game and proceeded to set up James for a kill. With Johnson serving, Bowie moved ahead 13-10. Penn recorded a kill and a nice hit by Dunn put Bowie in command 17-13.
Kasprak thwarted a McCallum rally and tied the game 21-21 with a kill. As Morales served, Kasprak made a fine block at the net and Bowie secured the third game 25-22. At 5’10”, Godsey smashed a towering kill to tie it at 10-10 in the fourth game. Crosley stepped up her game, registering a kill to put the Lady Dawgs in front 20-15. The six-foot freshman displayed quickness up front and devastating power with strong returns including the final point in the fourth game victory 25-17. Bowie got in eight matches at the recent AISD Tournament. “We Continued on page 27
After competing in eight matches at the AISD Tournament last weekend, the Crockett volleyball team swept San Antonio Memorial 25-20, 25-20, 25-12 Tuesday evening. “It was an experiment,” coach Lorie Henry said of the local event. “We have a lot to work on.” Senior outside hitter Kelsey Waugh showcased one of the strengths of the Lady Cougars after practicing extensively over the summer break. “I worked on my spot serving and float serves,” Waugh noted. “We worked on serving as a team.” Waugh recorded three aces in a season opening
win over Del Valle. A superior serve by Alyssa Pagan put the home team in front 3-0 in the first game. A high, arcing serve from Darcy Lof extended the early Crockett advantage to 6-1. Waugh’s perfectly placed return kept the Cougars in the lead 9-2. An ace by Waugh moved Crockett in front 12-11. With Allison Ruiz serving, Pagan delivered a powerful hit to secure the first game 25-20. In the second game, Mystee Altes displayed a quick burst at the net keeping Crockett on top 15-13. Serving with a knee brace, Doralena Yanes helped Continued on page 27

Child’sWay adds after-school care
Patton students can ride AISD bus to Child’s Way For the past 18 years, Child’s Way Creative Learning Center has been Oak Hill’s premier pre-school. “We strive to enrich the life of each and every child entrusted to our care,” says Rebecca Galindo who founded the school along with Judy Haverlah. “It is our goal to provide a warm, child-centered environment for children.” “All of our teachers are experienced in child care with either a child development certification or a degree in the field of education,” says Haverlah. For the older pre-school students, Child’s Way uses “Big Day” scholastic curriculum, which is also used in Austin public schools, to help prepare their students for elementary school. Spanish is also taught to all
children ages 3 1/2 and older at no extra cost. Child’s Way accepts children as young as 2 months old. All classes are set up with fewer students per teacher than state standards in order to give teachers more opportunity to focus on each child. Extended care both before and after preschool is available for families who need it. Child’s Way is also offering an after-school program for Patton Elementary students with AISD bus transportation provided. The school is located at 7212 Oak Meadow Drive, in the heart of Oak Hill. For more information, visit their Facebook page, the website at www.childsway.com or call 2880802 and arrange a tour.

After school class will teach kids how to train their dogs
Four week program will build mutual trust Beginning September 18, the Canine Center for Training and Behavior (TCCTB) on Old Bee Caves Road will be holding a four-part after school class on Wednesdays for kids aged 8-13 and their dogs. “Your child will learn tips for building a relationship with their canine companion through gaining influence over their dog and forming a lasting, mutual trust, ” says Patti Brauss, a long-time AISD teacher and TCCBT trainer who will be in charge of the program. Basic training skills such as sit, down, stay, come when called, leash walking without tugging and proper greetings are included in this class. Dogs can be provided for any children interested in this class who do not have their own dog to work with. “Dogs in this program don’t have to be perfectly behaved,” says business manager Heidi Hays, “but we want to do at least a phone screening before the class to make sure they will be appropriate for this program. We can work with dogs before the class starts to get them ready for this.” “We really like to teach them (the kids) when they are young,” says Brauss, “then they can go home and teach their parents!” After completing this four week program, participants will have the option of continuing on to “Sports Camp” with their pets. Dogs will get training in agility and rally obedience. TCCBT works from a philosophy that dog ownership should be fun. Clients are taught to interact with their dogs in a reward-based manner, not with harshness, choke collars
Ella Eis and Curie at TCCBT’s summer Youth Camp after a round of trainer assisted agility. (Ella’s big sister Ainsley took their family dog, Io, through camp, so TCCTB lent Curie, a staff dog, to Ella to work with for the week). and the like. Trainers at the Canine Center for Training and Behavior have worked with 13,000 dogs and their people— and counting! They offer classes, private lessons, tutoring at the center or in a trainer’s home, canine nutrition counseling and new pet selection consultations.
Art studio enrolling for fall
Walk into Sacred Arts Studio and Gallery on William Cannon near Escarpment and you will first find yourself in a room filled with colorful and diverse artwork, much of it produced by students. Wander further in and you will find the studio— a wall full of art supplies in labelled plastic containers, a large butcher paper-covered table and more art everywhere. “We are a fully-equipped working art studio specializing in a wide variety of media,” says owner Denise Dews who relocated her 23-yearold business to Oak Hill from Louisiana last year. Students can try out acrylics, oils, various water color techniques, different kinds of pencils and pastels, clay, collage, object assembly and more. “I want my students to have the experience of being an artist with all you need at your fingertips because that really brings out creativity and spontaneity,” says Dews. While her classes all have a strong emphasis on drawing, Dews sees her role as supporting each student and
their creative process at whatever level they are at . With small class sizes, Dews and son Andrew are able to provide an abundance of individual attention. Sacred Arts Studio has after-school classes for all ages starting at four years old, classes for home-schooled children, workshops in painting, drawing, mosaics and more on the weekends, special art birthday parties and “Wine and Design” evenings for adults. Dews can also help students looking to go further with portfolio development for special programs and college entry and she is happy to consult on various summer programs and scholarships that middle and high school students can participate in. She has helped some of her students matriculate to prestigious programs at colleges such as Rhode Island School of Design and Savannah College of Art and Design. “We want people who come here to have fun and learn in a relaxed atmosphere,” says Dews.

Academic Therapy Center teaches children to succeed in school ATC helps those with dyslexia and other learning disorders Academic Therapy Center’s founder, Regina Staffa, began her professional life in the newspaper industry but she found a new calling when all three of her own children were diagnosed with dyslexia. “When my oldest son was in first grade at Mills Elementary I couldn’t understand why he was so anxious about school,” she said. It took some time to finally get the diagnosis, but when she did, she started noticing signs of dyslexia in her two younger children as well. All three are now high achieving students. “They understand that they need to work harder in some areas than their friends, so they have a very strong work ethic,” says Staffa. Staffa helped found several organizations at Mills to support both parents and children who were dealing with learning disabilities and she was a finalist for both AISD Tutor of the Year and Volunteer of the Year in 2007 and 2008. She went on to become a Certified Academic Language Therapist and a Licensed Dyslexia Therapist in 2009. Her training extends to other learning disorders including dysgraphia and ADHD/ADD. “I believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn to be academically successfully regardless of learning style or academic challenges‚” says Staffa. “Our philosophy is one day at a time, one child at a time and we strive to make every child responsible, independent and an advocate for their learning success
using the latest scientifically based research programs in reading, writing, handwriting, spelling and study skills.” The center, which recently moved to a new therapeutically-designed location in the Stonegate II complex on West William Cannon, works with children from ages Pre-K through adult in both individual and small group settings based on the child’s individual needs. They provide therapy for children who struggle with reading, have problems with fluency and comprehension, or those dysgraphia, spelling problems or written expression disorders. The therapists at Academic Therapy Center are certified academic language therapists, licensed dyslexia therapists, or students of academic language therapy who use the latest research to provide the best possible outcome for the children they serve. Parents are given guidance on how to support their child at home to get the most out of the therapy. Academy Therapy Center has programs for children as young as four who are struggling with pre-reading skills. They can also help adults. Their website (www.academictherapycenter.com) has more information about their programs in addition to general information about learning disabilities plus a recommended book list. You can call 512330-4222 to learn more and to schedule a consultation.

Oak Hill Fitness will get you in shape With the school year about to begin, Oak Hill Fitness’s Hank Uhlaender wants to remind mothers and other caretakers that the best way to take care of others is to first take care of yourself. It was seven years ago when Uhlaender got his own wake-up call. “After working five years at a desk job I was obese and my doctor wanted me to start on medications,” he explains. Instead, Hank hired a personal trainer and two years later he was down to 3% body fat and was named the winner of the Alamo Showdown Classic, a competition for all natural bodybuilders. Uhlaender recently opened his gym and indoor/outdoor training facility on Old Bee Caves Road and is helping others attain their fitness goals with his boot camps and in personal and group training sessions that are tailored for every participant. “I’m a fifty year old, overweight, previously sedentary woman who NEVER thought I’d fit in a Boot Camp group,” says Kay Ander-
son. “Hank has provided me with something I never thought I’d have: encouragement, variety and a workout I enjoy. He works with me at my fitness level, customizing a program that I can succeed in. After years of frustration and disappointment, I’ve found the workout that makes me believe that I have the power to improve my physical health. No matter what your story, physical limitation or fitness level, I can guarantee Hank can customize a program for you.” Uhlaender utilizes kettle bells, free weights, plyometric (jump training) techniques and more in his training and he works with all levels from beginners to elite athletes. “If you need someone to push you a little bit, that’s where I come in,” he says. Oak Hill Fitness also has Judo/Jiu-Jitsu and MMA classes taught by professional MMA fighter George Sarnev. Uhlaender can be reached at 512-774-GOAL for more information.

Tucci’s makes best subs in town Make your life a little easier and call ahead to Tucci’s Southside Subs to pick up dinner on your way home from a crazy day of backto-school shopping. Tucci’s subs are made with quality Boar’s Head brand deli meats and The New World Bakery bread baked fresh daily. The menu features everything from kid’s sandwiches and half-portion options to the mother-of-all subs, their special Southside Gourmet Italian with prosciutto, capicollo, black pepper ham, genoa salami, provolone, veggies and oil, oregano and vinegar. Hot subs like Meatball or Philly Cheesesteak and hot and cold vegetarian options are also on the menu. Tucci’s is owned by Pennsylvania native and proud Italian-American David Tucci who has been making East Coast Italian style subs in
Austin since graduating from UT Austin in 1987. Going independent in 2009, he opened two locations – at the ‘Y’ in Oak Hill near Planet Fitness and on William Cannon at I-35. On any given day you might find him behind the counter at either store helping his friendly staff get the lunch crowd fed. Both Tucci’s locations top Yelp’s list of highest-rated Austin sub shops (number one and number three) with solid four-and-a-half star ratings. If you have not yet tried them, now might be a good time to see why others say “it is absolutely, by far, the BEST sandwich I have ever tasted.” *(from an actual Yelp review). You can call ahead to the Oak Hill location at 512-288-7414 so your order can be waiting for you when you arrive.

Oak Hill piano studio opens showroom MusicMasters Piano Service recently opened a new Piano Showroom at 11190 Circle Drive. “We are very passionate about pianos and wanted to create a unique shopping experience. This is no ordinary music store. There are no guitars, drums, digital pianos, nor salesmen... just lots of beautiful pianos” said Brian Henselman, who owns and operates the business with his wife Jeannie. Longtime Oak Hill residents Brian, a Registered Piano Technician, and Jeannie Henselman, a veteran teacher and pianist, are known throughout Texas. They have prepared hundreds of students (from beginner to prodigy) and over a thousand pianos for public concerts, recitals, festivals, and competitions since 1989. Mr. Henselman enjoys introducing younger piano students to the “Masters”. Older, more competitive pianists study with Mrs. Henselman, a former prodigy and performing artist. Both focus on teaching students to play at their highest potential.
Their students practice exclusively on real (acoustic) pianos, and all lessons are taught on 7’ or larger concert grands. Both teachers offer private traditional classical piano lessons, while Jeannie specializes in group music theory and history classes. “Our new storefront hosted a dozen TMTA ensemble rehearsals at the store this May and June. Twenty-five young greater Austin pianists met weekly to rehearse at our store for the State Convention in Grapevine. MusicMasters is the only facility in Austin with pianos that can accommodate them” said Mrs. Henselman. MusicMasters currently displays over 24 different models of new and used pianos. They are Austin’s exclusive source of Hallet Davis, Kingsburg, and Hailun pianos. Their next event is a Hailun, USA sponsored PTG (Piano Technician’s Guild) meeting on Saturday, September 7. For more information call (512) 301-3503.

Piano teacher makes music fun “We are amazed and delighted with how much she’s learned since she started taking lessons,” say the parents of five-year-old Lucy who studies with Oak Hill piano teacher Susan Duschatko. “Ms. Susie is kind and encouraging and makes learning music fun.” Duschatko has been teaching piano for the past 15 years and her students range in age from 5 to senior citizens. “I teach a core curriculum of theory and ear training plus we add supplementary music to whatever the child’s or family‚’s taste is,” Duschatko explains. Choices for the supplemental music range from pop to jazz to classical and more. “With the younger kids, I encourage parents to stay and observe and even maybe take notes,” Duschatko says. “Parents need to show their child that it means something to them.” Duschatko places an emphasis on
making music fun and will often sing along or play accompaniment. With a degree in Music Elementary Education, Duschatko is a member of the Austin District Music Teachers’ Association (ADMTA), and continues her education by attending workshops in her field, performing in annual recitals, and also studying with her former Texas State professor, Dr. Tim Woolsey. Duschatko has helped many of her students prepare for a variety of piano competitions at the University of Texas. “They always score very high in competition,” she says. ‘Miss Susie’ loves sharing her passion for piano with students of all levels and ages at her home studio in Legend Oaks. More information can be found on her website at susiespianostudio.musicteachershelper.com.
As part of their Health and Wellness Ministry, Bethany Lutheran Church is teaming up with the Care for Children Foundation on Sunday, August 25 to offer free immunizations to children up to 18 years old. The immunizations will be available from 1 to 4 pm at Bethany’s Community Life Center Fellowship Hall. The CDC guidelines for immunizations will be followed and parents are asked to bring their children’s shot records. The Health and Wellness Ministry is a community outreach program that began with Bethany’s 2010 Health Fair. ”We felt that by switching from a single event to a series of events like the immunization clinic and the health seminars we would be able to reach a wider audience,” said ministry chairperson Rondena Mackey. ”What we are about is
helping people stay healthy and providing resources for caretakers, counseling, and information about in-home services.” Previous programs have dealt with Cancer, Diabetes and Alzheimer’s. Upcoming seminars include a presentation on Medicare with a a focus on changes due to implementation of the Affordable Care Act, a program on building positive family dynamics, and dyslexia and reading assessments. Pastor William Knippa, who has a PhD in Psychology, will be leading the family dynamics program. Pastor Knippa began the Health and Wellness Ministry as a way to reach out beyond his congregation to the whole South Austin community and to make beneficial use of the church’s new Community Life Center.

After-school programming to be offered at Small Middle School Continued from p. 3 ested in the traditional after-school sports and activities are too old for the programs run by daycare facilities. She said of BGC, “They are offering very reasonable rates and will have plenty of activities and supervision,” adding, “the kids will have some academic support and lots and lots of physical activities for the kids to take part in.” Meyer described Small’s after-school program as “interest based, structured and supervised after-school activities ranging from Character and Leadership Development, to homework assistance to healthy lifestyle programs centered on physical activities and youth sports.” According to the Texas Senate, 15 percent of Texas students participate in after-school programs while nearly twice that number (26 percent) are left to care for themselves. The state says 3 to 6 p.m. is the peak time for juvenile crime and experimentation with risky behavior. The state acknowledged the impor-
tance of after-school programming, when last June Governor Rick Perry signed Senate Bill 503 to create the Expanded Learning Opportunities Council to “study and make recommendations concerning expanding learning opportunities for public school students.” The After School Alliance said of SB 503, “The Council is the first afterschool and summer dedicated policy in Texas, which makes it a big win for Texas advocates and lays the groundwork for future legislative activity in the state.” The federal government also acknowledges the importance of after-school programming. In 1998 it invested $40 million in such activities, growing to $1 billion in 2002. Roby said of the BGC partnership, “Students will have opportunities to work with and participate with different clubs in the southwest area as well across the city. The benefit of integrating BGC onto the campus
is that it provides the sixth grade population an opportunity to begin surveying all the things that middle school has to offer. It will serve as a bridge for them. Furthermore, it will provide all students with additional opportunities to become a part of the already rich school culture.” Meyer said the program is very affordable when compared with other after-school alternatives. He points out that Boys and Girls Clubs has 100 years of experience in providing out-of-school time programs to more than 4 million youngsters across the country each day. Small Middle School Principal Amy Taylor said she is excited about the BGC partnership. The school has packets available about the program. Small Middle School is located at 4801 Monterey Oaks Blvd. The phone number is 512-841-6700. More information about BGC is available at http://bgcaustin.org/ index.html.

AISD Board Briefs August 14, 2013 Presentation of Proposed AISD 2013-14 Audit Plan Lori Lee, AISD’s director of the audit department, was available to respond to trustee questions about the AISD 2013-14 Audit Plan, which is scheduled for board action on the Aug. 27 consent agenda. 83rd Legislative Session Summary Edna Butts, AISD’s director of intergovernmental relations and policy, joined representatives from Moak Casey & Associates to provide a summary of major education legislation enacted during the recent legislative session. They reported on the major education-related changes made by the legislature in key areas, including: accountability issues, the state budget, school finance, property tax and facilities issues, and student discipline. Presentation of the Recommended FY2013-14 Budget Nicole Conley, AISD’s chief financial officer, summarized the Recommended Budget for FY
2013-14. The recommended budget would continue to support the 3 percent salary adjustment, which was pensionable, provided last year to all regular and full-time employees. It also includes funding to cover another nonrecurring adjustment to provide the equivalent of a 1.5 percent increase, to be paid in two lump sums, to all regular full-time and part-time employees. This 1.5 percent adjustment would not be pensionable. The tax rates would be unchanged: For Maintenance and Operations, the tax rate will remain at $1.079 per $100 of assessed valuation for the 2013 tax year. For Interest and Sinking, the tax rate will remain at $.0163 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation for the 2013 tax year.

Veterans’ Post
Oak Hill VFW Post 4443 plans community yard sale/open house by Mike Jordan The Oak Hill VFW Post 4443 is holding a yard sale/open house on Saturday August 31 at the post. The hours are from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and all are invited. Families are encouraged to bring their children. The pool will be open and there will be free burgers and hotdogs for the whole family. The post is inviting any veteran who served in a combat zone to join the VFW. The dues are only $25 per year – that’s right, $25 per year. The dues will be increased in October, so this is a good time to join. The location of VFW Post 4443 is 7614 Thomas Springs Road. To find it, Thomas Springs intersects HYW 71 just about halfway between the ‘Y’ at Oak Hill and Bee Cave. Coming from the Oak Hill area, the intersection is at the light and at a Valero station. Turn left and go just about a mile and the large VFW sign is hard to miss. If you have items of your own to sell, you may rent a booth for only $20. Call the Post at 512-288-4443 or 512-586-7776. • • • A few weeks ago, veterans and other citizens took time to remember the Korean Armistice. The Korean
Armistice Agreement is the armistice that ended the Korean War. It was signed by U.S. Army Lieutenant General William Harrison Jr. representing the United Nations Command, North Korean General Nam II representing the North Korean People’s Army, and the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army. The armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, and was designed to insure a complete cessation of hostilities and of all acts of armed force in Korea until a final peaceful settlement is achieved. No “final peaceful settlement” has been achieved yet. The signed armistice established the Korean Demilitarized Zone, put into force a cease-fire, and finalized repatriation of prisoners of war. The Demilitarized Zone runs not far from the 38th parallel that separated Northern and Southern Koreas before the war. Many veterans who served in Vietnam live in the Austin area. Some of you who are older will remember that the veterans who served during the Vietnam era did not receive the acclaim that later vets have. In fact, it was not uncommon to see demonstrations against the war and many returning veterans were reviled. This is not an exaggeration. So if
you see a vet with a military license plate or a veteran’s cap on, you might want to take a moment to show your thanks for his or her service. • • • No doubt, many readers have heard of service dogs. These are dogs that are specially trained to assist people who are limited in their mobility or who have sight issues and other physical constraints. The dogs are also trained for people who have specific physical, and even mental or emotional problems. Veterans and others may qualify if the person meets certain qualifications pertaining to their needs. Some service dog organizations will help you train your own dog, if you have one. They can also supply a dog if required. The typical breeds of dogs used are retrievers, shepherds, labs and others. In fact, if you have puppies you are seeking to place, consider donating to a service dog organization. There are several trainers in the Austin area. You can find more about these dogs and trainers via website http://servicedogsforindependence.
com/services/. Also, under certain conditions, fees and other costs can be waived. Those who know me well know that I am seldom without my dog by my side. A dog will be your best friend and will love you unconditionally. What more can one ask? • • • Thought for the day: Calculus and alcohol don’t mix. So don’t drink and derive. Mike Jordan served in the Marine
Corps and has written for Florida Today as well as Oak Hill Gazette. This column is a collection of local news information both for and about military veterans’ activities and items of interest. Material comes from veterans themselves, local VFW Posts, American Legion Posts and information submitted from various sources.

AISD Board Briefs Continued from p. 21 Bond Proceeds, Providing for the Appointment of an Oversight Committee, and Addressing Matters Relating to Future Facility Master Planning.” As part of this resolution, the district committed to the development of a Facility Master Plan on or before June 30, 2014. The board discussed this topic on June 12. Based on trustee
observations, guidance, and points of emphasis at that meeting, the administration subsequently gathered input and feedback on potential guiding principles. Using this information, trustees developed draft guiding principles for these areas: academics, safety, and protection of financial investment. Missed the meeting?

Continued from p. 9 the Cougars extend the lead to 20-16. Yanes is recovering from a torn ACL sustained last year versus McCallum. “I’ve been working on my strength and agility to get back to where I was,” Yanes added. An ace by Margarita Vega put the brown and gold in front 19-11 in the third and final game. Four consecutive aces from Pagan closed out the visitors from the Alamo City. “I rely mostly on my serves,” the Lady Cougar setter said. “I also try to set up as many balls as I can.” Crockett ventures east to participate in the Cedar Creek Tournament this Thursday.

Manchaca history explored in book The newest addition to Arcadia Publishing’s popular Images of America series is Manchaca by The Manchaca Onion Creek Historical Association. The book boasts more than 200 vintage images and memories of days gone by. Manchaca, which takes its name from nearby Manchaca Springs, is nestled in the beautiful rolling hills about 10 miles south of Austin. Spanish land grants issued in the 1830s opened the land for settlement and by the 1850s, stage stop Manchac Springs was established, bringing new settlers through the area. Many liked what they saw and settled in. The population grew in
great bounds when the International & Great Northern Railroad laid track through Manchaca in 1881, which led to the building of a new school and several mercantile stores. By the turn of the century, Manchaca had grown into a bustling community. Images of America: Manchaca illustrates the history of this unique Texas community. By allowing readers to glimpse scenes from the past they can gain a better understanding of its modern identity. A few highlights of Manchaca: • Maps of the area dating from the 19th Century, provided by the Texas General Land Office, showing the land grants that formed Manchaca
in the 1830s. • Shows images of Manchaca as a bustling community by the turn of the century with its own cotton gin and several mercantile stores. • Information on the Manchaca Volunteer Fire Department, which was established in 1967 with money collected in a box placed on the counter at the Country Corner Store owned by Ray and Ethel Turner. Available at area bookstores, independent retailers, and online retailers, or through Arcadia Publishing at (888)-313-2665 or online.

Panel seeks area input Continued from p. 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was no structure,â&#x20AC;? Blanco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything written for us because this is the first of its kind in Austin. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a lot of feedback from the public, from members that were part of the writing of the charter.â&#x20AC;? Blanco said her desire to join the ICRC grew out of her own feelings of disconnect from city government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a citizen of Austin, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel connected to my city council. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we can do,â&#x20AC;? Blanco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can bring representation to an area when they had felt neglected.â&#x20AC;? Blanco, a northeast Austin resident, said the redistricting will be a benefit to her community and similar neighborhoods. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in a part of town that has been annexed in the recent years,â&#x20AC;? Blanco said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t originally part of the city. So to get representation, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge deal for my community here.â&#x20AC;? Eliza May, a Travis Country resident and member of Austinites for Geographic Representation, said, for the first time Austin neighborhoods will have representatives who answer directly to the residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have their
own representative that they can go to as opposed to trying to find somebody at council whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to pay attention to my little zoning issue over here in southwest,â&#x20AC;? May said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If for some reason those single-member district representatives are not doing their job, or the citizens donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing their job, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be held accountable by the neighborhoods. In my opinion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s democracy at its very best because it literally is democracy at the grassroots level.â&#x20AC;? May said having representation for southwest Austin would ensure that issues such as public transportation needs in the Oak Hill area will receive attention at the City Council level. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Southwest Austin will invariably get its own district that represents them,â&#x20AC;? May said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at is approximately 80,000 residents being placed in any one district.â&#x20AC;? May said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for southwest Austin residents to work through their neighborhood associations to develop maps and drawings that represent the preferred boundaries
of the district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The data is there. It can be evenly drawn. The challenge is going to become where do you want to draw that line? Where is that hard stop? Is it going to be west of Mopac, east of Mopac? How far north are we going to go? Are we going to go off of Southwest Parkway? Those are going to be the hard questions and the challenge,â&#x20AC;? May said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important for citizens to work through their associations, as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do through [Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods], so that we can produce that kind of data and that kind of preference.â&#x20AC;? Tom Thayer, a board member of the South Windmill Run Neighborhood Association, said he wants to see all of Oak Hill in one district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want our area to be sliced up as it has in congressional and state legislature redistricting,â&#x20AC;? Thayer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A split Oak Hill could mean a district or districts with a large portion of the population outside our area. One district for Oak Hill would better ensure actual local representation.â&#x20AC;?
The Word from Oak Hill Continued from p. 5 Wow, I almost forgot. Your Momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Burger Bar is coming to Oak Hill, moving into the vacated Vietnamese place at William Cannon and Hwy. 290. More on that later. Much more. But for now, check out http://eatatyourmoms.com. â&#x20AC;˘Â â&#x20AC;˘Â â&#x20AC;˘ Have you tried the Tomato Pie from the seasonal menu at the Kerbey Lane restaurant on William Cannon? You should. And you should do it fast, as I have no idea how long the summer menu is going to last. Taken directly from the menu, this tomato delicacy is â&#x20AC;&#x153;a delicious blend of Paul Engelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fresh roasted tomatoes, green onion, fresh basil
and garlic all baked together in an individual pie crust and topped with kalamata olives and feta cheese.â&#x20AC;? I know. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re reading this and thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What? Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no meat.â&#x20AC;? Trust me, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss it. It tastes much better than words could possibly describe. Provided you like tomato, olives and feta cheese, of course. Are you reading this Morris? â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ (Want your neighborhood association highlighted? Have a story you need to tell? Would you like to rat out a neighbor? If so, be sure to email me at mail@mikejasper. com and get the word out.)
