A historic gristmill becomes an amazing Science Mill

Road-building is topic of the day Commissioner Daugherty offers updates at OHBPA meeting by Penny Levers “There are no silver bullets for this god-awful traffic,” Precinct 3 County Commissioner Gerald Daugherty began his recent transportation update. He told a capacity crowd at the June 4 Oak Hill Business and Professional Association (OHBPA) monthly luncheon: “There are not enough people who will do anything other than drive their single-occupancy vehicles for any mass transit solutions to make a bit of difference on our overcrowded roads,” he said, while pointing out that by increasing the capacity of our roads, it also helps Cap Metro’s bus system move people around the city faster. Daugherty then laid out the current

status and projected timelines of road projects affecting Southwest Austin including SH 45SW, Hwy 290/71 and MoPac South. SH 45SW SH 45SW, which has had a long and contentious history dating back to its original conception in 1985 by the Texas Transportation Commission, is planned as a 3.6 mile four-lane toll road that would extend SH45 from MoPac to FM 1626. Voters approved the project in a 1997 bond election. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) announced back in March that it is moving forward with construction of State Highway 45 Southwest (SH45 SW) now that See ROAD-BUILDING on p. 14

New Hill Country Science Mill by Laurel Robertson

JOHNSON CITY - It’s been a home to innovation since the 1880s—first as an Industrial Era steam gristmill and cotton gin. A century later, it catered to tourists on the blossoming Texas Wine Trail. But innovations there now—glow-

ing silicone fractals, video games replicating molecule creation and a hands-on biology lab growing bacteria that powers batteries—mark a new high for the old gristmill in

Johnson City. This past February, it began a new life as the home of the Hill Country Science Mill. Bob Elde and Bonnie Baskin saw something in the rusting old silos and milling room that reminded them of a science experiment. ReSee NEW on p. 12

Commissioner Gerald Daugherty said he is confident that SH45SW will be built soon—possibly with groundbreaking this time next year.

School news

Austin and Bowie make list of Students learn science best in the nation high schools with Hot Wheels cars Austin ISD, Mattel Children’s Foundation have partnered to introduce Hot Wheels Speedometry curriculum to fourth-grade science classrooms in 2015-16. Speedometry, a math and science education curriculum co-created by researchers at the Mattel Children’s Foundation and the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education, will be introduced to Austin ISD fourth-grade classrooms this fall. On June 9, Austin ISD held a kickoff event at Sunset Valley Elementary School during AISD’s summer science camps. Professors from

USC and the executive director of the Mattel Children’s Foundation spoke about the curriculum and importance of integrating play into STEM education. Teachers from AISD spoke about implementing the curriculum in the classroom. “AISD is very excited to offer the Speedometry lessons from Mattel and USC to all of our students. The Spanish version allows us to offer hands-on, exciting science to our Spanish dual-language students as well as our monolingual classes,” Austin ISD Science Administrative Supervisor Charlie Gutierrez said.

Seven Austin ISD high schools are among the best in the nation, according to the 2015 U.S. News and World Report rankings. Five schools—Anderson, Austin, Bowie, Liberal Arts Science Academy and McCallum high schools—reclaimed spots on the publication’s annual list of “Best High Schools.” The Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders and Akins High School were ranked for the first time. After evaluating more than

21,000 high schools throughout the country, U.S. News and World Report ranked: LASA–sixth in Texas, 36th nationally;Ann Richards–24th in Texas, 123rd nationally;McCallum–101st in Texas, 963rd nationally;Anderson–106th in Texas, 1022nd nationally. Bowie–117th in Texas, 1170th nationally; Austin–126th in Texas, 1252nd nationally; and Akins– 180th in Texas, 2024th nationally. “AISD schools provide students

with a high-quality education and a world of rich opportunities to help them prepare for college, career and life,” Superintendent Paul Cruz said. “To compete in a global economy and contribute to a community’s prosperity, students must have options to study a range of programs, including the arts, business, civics, medicine and STEM. AISD offers these choices.”

family humor

Faith and Begorrah, they actually have old dog homes! by Roger White Well, Faith and Begorrah, you can learn something new every day. Sometimes that—and little chocolate donuts—is the only thing that spurs me to drag my sagging carcass out of the sack most mornings. And speaking of learning something new (and in the true spirit of the stream-of-consciousness rambling rhetoric this forum prides itself on), do you know where the term “Faith and Begorrah” comes from? Or from which it comes, to avoid a prepositionally ended sentence? From what I’ve been able to gather, “F&B” is a traditional Irish epithet that roughly translates into “By Gosh!” The Irish, of course, being a true Almighty-fearing people, didn’t want to come right out and say “By God!” when exclaiming some revelation or sense of amazement, so “F&B” was used to avoid taking the Supreme Dude’s name in vain and thereby summoning the furious wrath of the All-Knowing One. Kind of like how we say “Jeez!” to show astonishment (or when we smack our thumb with the hammer) to be able to quasi-curse without perturbing the Head Cheese. I believe it was W.C. Fields who used to exclaim, “Well, Godfrey Daniels!” to approximate the G-D swear words. It’s all a bit silly, if you ask me. I mean, do we really think that (a) we’re putting one over on the Omniscient One; and (b) they’re actually keeping a Heavenly Tally? Me at Pearly Gates: “So, St. P, do I get in the club?”

The Word from Oak Hill

neighborly news

Piano & Voice Lessons in Oak Hill

See how it is with me? Mike Jasper The word from Oak Hill is ... me. Here’s how it is with me. I’m driving home after a night of cocktails at some party or club, I can’t remember, it’s not important, so please ... let it go. Anyway, I turn left onto Scenic Brook when a large white dog comes running toward the car. Amazingly, he crashes into the driver’s side, my side. It gets better. The dog literally does a back flip, but he’s okay. And he kind of looks like my old dog Debo (RIP), floppy eared and pit-bull-like. After he flips, I see the dog take off like a rocket down a side street. “I better follow that dog and make sure he’s not hurt,” I tell my female companion. “We might have to get him to the hospital.” In my world, all dogs are male, all cats are female. I take off after the dog in my car as he’s barreling down the side street. I soon realize that … 1) This dog has just been hit by a car, and 2) Now the car that hit him is chasing him down the street. Not good. What could I do? He seemed all right, he was running fast, but what if he had internal injuries? I needed to keep tracking the terrified beast. The dog quickly hung a left into a cul-de-sac. Now I’ll be able to find him, I thought, but no. When I turned left into the circle, he was nowhere to be found. I got out of the car and called for him, “Here, doggy, doggy, doggy. Here doggy, doggy, doggy,” but nothing. Great. “Sure hope the little guy’s all right,” I said to my companion. We pulled into the driveway and I let go with a deep breath. “Wow,” I said. “Can you believe that? Did you see him do that back flip? That was unbelievable.” The woman turned from me and stared straight ahead. “Jasper,” she said. “I didn’t see any dog.” See how it is with me? Okay, I’m working on a new catch phrase. What do you think? It’s slightly different from my old one, See what I did there? Of course, I’ve had many throughout the years. “Talk To The Hand,”

in the ’90s, “Just Do It!” in the ‘80s, have started off with that warning? Maybe. But in fairness, the “Where’s The Beef?” during the kind of person who would late ’70s.

Game Warden Field Notes The following items are compiled from recent Texas Parks and Wildlife Department law enforcement reports.

Not Gone Fishing A Titus County game warden issued a citation for no Commercial Finfish License to an individual who sold four red snapper and 60 tilapia from his home using an online garage sale site. The case is pending. A Truck Goes Down with Its Boat A Titus County game warden responded to the Lake Monticello boat ramp after a truck and boat sank in the lake. A man trying to put his boat on his trailer allowed his grandchild to drive his truck, but the child accidentally put the vehicle in reverse. Both the truck and trailer went into the lake. A second child in the back seat was safely removed from the truck before it sank. “We thought you had left…” As he was patrolling the border between Uvalde and Real counties, a Real County game warden approached three individuals who were about to launch a 12-foot aluminum boat to go fishing. The warden, who checked for lifejackets and did not find any, explained the men needed lifejackets if they were planning to put the boat in the water. The men said they would check the nearby store for lifejackets, and the warden left the scene to continue his patrol. However, as the warden was driving across the nearby bridge, he saw the individuals launch

the boat and paddle downstream. The warden turned around and contacted with the individuals again. The boat owner said, “We thought you had left, so we decided to launch the boat anyway, even though you told us to get lifejackets.” The warden issued the boat owner a citation for insufficient number of personal flotation devices. Shot in the Dark An Atascosa County game warden received a call from a Lytle police officer who had detained four individuals with a freshly killed doe in the bed of their truck. They told the officer the deer was road kill, though they had spotlights and a .17 HMR rifle with them in the truck. When the warden arrived, the individuals admitted they went for a road hunting adventure and one of them shot the doe at night from a public road. Cases and civil restitution are pending. No Prescription After stopping a red four-door truck for not having a Texas OHV decal, a Moore and Sherman County game warden noticed both of the truck’s male occupants were a little nervous. The warden asked to search the truck and all of its contents, and the owner consented. During his search, the warden found a plastic bag with three types of prescription medications that were not in properly marked bottles, as required by state law. While arresting the individuals with the help of a Potter County warden, the Moore and

Sherman County warden noticed one of the men start gagging. The warden retrieved a plastic bag from the man’s mouth with less than two ounces of marijuana and two prescription pills. The warden transported the man to the Potter County Jail, where he was charged with tampering with physical evidence, four counts of possession of a dangerous drug and possession of marijuana. The man also had a felony arrest warrant pending for him out of Michigan for possession of dangerous drugs. Door Ajar When a Titus County game warden pulled over a moving vehicle after noticing the passenger door was open, he witnessed a female passenger throw coffee on the driver and slap him. After separating the two, the warden discovered the woman was intoxicated and had just come from her great grandmother’s funeral. Her car door was open because she was attempting to jump out of the moving vehicle, having already done so once. Three Mount Pleasant police officers responded to the scene after the warden called them and told the woman they would give her a ride to the police lobby and find another driver to transport her. At this point, the woman tried to kick the officers and the police car window out with her high heels. The officers finally restrained her to an ambulance stretcher after she repeatedly hit her head against the police car window.

Windy needs a home! This stunningly beautiful bloodhound mix is named Windy. She just showed up on her foster mom’s property during the week the wildfires were raging nearby. She was scanned for a microchip and attempts were made to find possible owners, to no avail. She is approximately 3 to 4 years old (estimated birthday 1/1/11) and 40 pounds of pure enjoyment. The vet does not think she will get much bigger and said she is a great size for a bloodhound dog, being smaller and likely to have a longer lifespan than a purebred bloodhound. This sweetheart of a girl enjoys rompin’ and a stompin’ with any dog that will play with her. She plays well with large dogs and small dogs alike. Windy is the class clown but she also enjoys a nice relaxing break in the presence of her person. Windy is a really fun, outgoing and friendly dog. She would make a great companion to another dog and is sure to bring you years of joy and laughter as you watch them frolic and play together! Do you have room in your heart and in your home for this little character? Windy is crate trained and has had no accidents in the house. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped and will be spayed before adoption. Windy yearns for a forever family of her very own where she will be loved and adored as an inside member of the family. Are you the family she seeks?

The Word from Oak Hill

neighborly news

Continued from p. 5 And then I remembered. Even when I write a column that completely sucks, it does not have the suckage required for a PR gig. Mea culpa. Mea *(#@#*%&%!!) culpa. ••• Am I writing about Dr. Jim Turney again? You betcha. He’s recently received a couple of awards for his efforts with the Convict Hill Quarry Park. The first is from the neighborhood, Legend Oaks 2.0 (Legend Oaks 1.0 was buggy and didn’t let you save properly). The award reads, “In recognition of your many years of generous and dedicated volunteer work to the betterment of the Legend Oaks 2 neighborhood. With sincere thanks from the Board of Directors and your neighbors. “ I got an award like that once, but it read, simply, “Good job, wiseass.” And it was written on my pancakes in maple syrup from the night manager at Kerbey Lane, Tim (not his real name, it’s Oscar). Anyway, before Jim leaves to pursue his new life in Thailand he received the Distinguished Service Award from the city Thursday, June 4. The award was presented by Oak Hill’s

The Distinguished Service Award from the city was presented by District 8 councilperson Ellen Troxclair. new councilperson, Ellen Troxclair. Dr. Jim Turney was an amazing asset to Oak Hill and the southwest Austin area and he will be sorely missed. And I really mean that. Sincerely. Provided he leaves before my next deadline.

Drippin’ Lowdown

neighborly news

June 11-June 24, 2015...11

US NAILS SPA It’s safe to go near the water again Under new management by Laurel Robertson

It’s safe to go near the water again in Dripping Springs. Though we didn’t suffer the devastating flooding Wimberley and Blanco received, the Memorial Day rains and storm did result in several swift water rescues on low-water crossings, power outages, damage to roads and bridges and even a tornado touchdown just southeast of town. Lots of people were trapped by swollen creeks and debris on roads. The major effect of the floods for Dripping Springs was to launch us into action, helping our neighbors along the Blanco River whose homes and lives were swept away in its raging waters. Many people came back to town those evenings, tired and caked in mud, but feeling better for having helped pull their friends’ and neighbors’ lives and possessions out of the swollen river. Locals pitched-in with clothing drives, meals, work crews and flood relief funds through their churches, civic groups and Facebook pages. Now that the relief efforts have shifted from immediate rescue to recovery/rebuilding, help is still needed. Up-to-date information is available on the cities’ websites: www.cityofwimberley.com and www.cityofblanco.com. Folks interested in volunteering in Wimberley should check in at the Volunteer Resource Center, 200 Stillwater (open daily from 8am - 5pm). Blanco volunteers are being coordinated out of the Blanco Flood Assistance Center located in the Byars Building, 308 Pecan St., on the Courthouse Square. There will also be a music-filled fundraiser at Stone Valley Music Park in Johnson City on June 13. See the calendar below for info. • • • On calmer waters, the banks of Onion Creek will again (for the 119th year in a row) play host to a week of old-fashioned family fun: music, dancing, camping, swimming, children’s games, friendly competitions, church services - even a homemade ice-cream crankoff - at the annual Camp Ben Reunion. If you’ve never been to Camp Ben

McCulloch (just across from the Salt Lick on FM 1826) to enjoy the beauty of Onion Creek winding through shaded groves of pecans, oaks, and sycamores—this is the year! The gathering, originally held to honor Civil War Veterans (who attended the early ones) is now more of a general community celebration. “It’s like a family reunion,” says Sandra Coe, one of the Reunion’s directors. “At least half of the campers Laurel Robertson are fifth generation and camp in the same spot every year. It’s amazing how many of the adults who attend today were brought to camp as babies and several married couples first met at the Reunion.” Sandra goes on to explain that in the last few years, the group has moved beyond a mainly Confederate focus and has become more of a general community gathering. “Everyone is welcome here,” she emphasizes. The first Camp Ben Confederate Reunion was organized in the summer of 1896 with seventeen veterans in attendance; by 1930

it had become the largest United Confederate Veterans Camp in the South, with as many as 6,000 attending. The date for the Reunion was always set to fall on the full moon between cotton chopping and cotton harvesting time. The open-air stone Tabernacle building at Camp Ben is the main gathering area on the 40-acre site, and hosts the musical entertainment, dances, children’s games, ceremonies, meetings and meals. A Midway features carnival rides and bingo games. Throughout the tree-shaded grounds, campers and day visitors spend time together playing dominoes, pitching washers, playing music, swimming in the creek and generally enjoying the day. The musical lineup includes performances by the Kyle Family, Dick Polk and the Lone Man Mountain Boys, the Carport Casanovas, Bob Shelton and the Onion Creek Ramblers, and an Open Music Jam (BYO instrument). Night dances feature the likes of Jake Penrod, Michael Myers, Hot Texas Swing Band, People’s Choice and Nathan Colt Young. Continued on page 20

New Hill Country Science Mill Continued from p. 1

cently retired from lifelong careers in scientific fields, the couple had moved to the Hill Country near Johnson City. When a friend pointed out the old mill was for sale, they began envisioning what could be created with it. “Bonnie and Bob are people who DO things,” says Science Mill Executive Director Renee Williams. As a former CEO of two biotechnology companies, Bonnie had the entrepreneurial skills to shepherd the complex plan into reality. As the former Dean of the College of Biological Sciences at the University of Minnesota, Bob had the pedagogic experience to help envision displays that could bring critical STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills to life for a new generation of budding scientists. Working together with a crack team of professionals, the couple created a thing of wonder and beauty from a rusting relic. The entire family will be entertained with activities that engage them in interactive learning and creative

thinking. While many hands-on science centers are geared for the elementary age group, the majority of the Hill Country Science Mill’s exhibits are targeted for middle and high school students—to help expand their understanding of science, spark their curiosity and inspire them to pursue careers in STEM fields. Each exhibit includes career-oriented information describing what field of science or technology engages in that kind of activity. At the beginning of their Science Mill experience, visitors receive a passport and create a personalized, animated 3D avatar that serves as their tour guide through the exhibits. The QR computer code on their passport keeps track of their day’s experience—progress, favorite exhibits, etc, so they can revisit those experiences online and learn more about them in the days and weeks following. A Paludarium (an enclosed, self-sustaining ecosystem, much like a large terrarium) in the lobby was created by a designer from Buda

that makes similar installations for museums worldwide. The mill’s original grain silos have been converted into unique exhibits that make use of their columnar height and roundness. In one, a 36-foot tall LED board reacts to electromagnetic waves (like those generated from a cell phone), creating a light display. The only other board of its kind is in Slovenia—as an art display there. A second silo is lined in limestone rocks and places the visitor deep in an imaginary Edwards Aquifer well. Computer screens on the wall display footage filmed underwater at Jacob’s Well Natural Area and the personal avatars teach about water quality, conservation, and the lifecycle of a raindrop. A third silo explores the intersection of math, science and art in a stunning exhibition of brightly lit silicone fractals (in the shape of Romanesco broccoli) that demonstrates something called the Fibonacci sequence. There’s a 3D sandbox, with topoContinued on next page

During the simulation, people appear on the screen, looking down into the well and talking about what they see (bilingual conversation).

graphic lines projected onto the sand that shift as it’s moved and piled. A simulation of rainfall on the sandbox shows the flow and retainment of water by each new topography. The Energy Game, sponsored by Pedernales Electric Co-op, challenges participants to work together to balance an electric grid, supplied by five power sources (nuclear, coal, natural gas, solar and wind) as it goes through typical daily variations in power needs. A biology lab, under the supervision of science director Bob Elde, is currently experimenting with zebra fish and a variety of microorganisms grown in cultured pond mud. Other exhibits include a virtual human body that can be explored using scientific visualization, a wind’s effects on sailboat direction and velocity, and a 4-foot diameter iGlobe that can be customized to show a variety of global phenomenon. There are dozens of exhibits, including many “maker stations,” that encourages visitors to create as part of the experiment. Johnson City High School art students created a mixed-media mural next to the racetrack, where visitors can build, test and solve problems to create the fastest auto. A second wing of the facility houses exhibits more accessible to a younger set, including a magnetic wall with moveable ping pong ball chutes, a play area for toddlers and a 3D movie

theater showing 20-minute videos. There’s also the Lady Bird Lane Cafe with indoor/outdoor eating areas. This summer, The Science Mill offers six one-week camps for kids in grades 6-8 and a one-week camp for kids in grades 4-5. In one week, older campers can explore what it’s like to be a forensic scientist, and aerospace engineer, a storm tracker, a chief innovation officer and a brain scientist. Younger campers will build “the sleekest, most aerodynamic rockets, paper airplanes, balloon racers and stomp rockets. Special events at the Science Mill this summer include: Third Friday of the Month (beginning June 19th)- Grandparents get 50% off price of their admission when visiting with grandchildren. June 21 (Father’s Day) - Win a family membership for 4! Design, build and race the fastest car at our racetrack. We’ll time all entries; the fastest time will win the membership!

Road-building is topic of the day Continued from p. 1 an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) has been completed. Access to the new road will be limited to FM 1626, Bliss Spillar Road, Mopac or SH45 west of MoPac. “This road is going to be built!” Daugherty said. “This is the first time I can say that with confidence. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is done, funding is in place, and maybe by this time next year we will put shovels in the ground and have a ribbon cutting.” He went on to say that construction will probably take about 18 months but “I hope SOS (Save Our Springs Alliance) does not file a lawsuit, though it is probably likely. There would be a 5-6 month delay then, but I don’t think they can stop it. A lot of people are wondering why they would bother to file a lawsuit.”

When contacted to respond to Daugherty’s comments, Bill Bunch, Executive Director of the Save Our Springs Alliance said, “We still believe that a lawsuit can be avoided. Very serious environmental and transportation planning issues remain. The TxDOT/CTRMA “state” environmental impact statement is propaganda, not analysis.” Bunch went on to say that he does not agree with Daugherty that SH 45SW is going to be built. “I think the legal problems they have faced all along remain. Also, the common sense problem they have of building 45SW first, and diverting commuters in northern Hays County, who currently use I-35, over to MoPac, before improving MoPac, will become clear in the months ahead. The sequence is backwards. We need to improve MoPac first before dumping yet

more traffic onto MoPac.” As things currently stand, the project is proceeding with final design and construction. The CTRMA has tasked the Rodriguez Transportation Group (RTG) with developing design and construction plans, a process that will take several months. Once these plans are finalized, officials will request bids for construction. Once a contractor is chosen, construction can begin.

Lady Bird Lake to Cesar Chavez. Plans are to add two additional tolled lanes in either direction. Daugherty says the MoPac lanes will be tolled by a “congestion price index” which means drivers will pay a higher price during times when MoPac is most

congested. “We are getting a lot of complaints about the elevation at the river messing up the sightline to downtown,” Daugherty said. The EIS for this project should be finished within a year to a year and a half.

Highway 290/71 The design for the Highway 290/71 project, also known as the Oak Hill Parkway is “just about finalized”, Daugherty said. “The Environmental Impact Statement should be finished by the middle of the fall.” He added that the projected date for the start of construction of the Parkway is 2019 or later, although continuous flow improvements on those roads should be complete within 6 months and an additional lane on Highway 71 from Scenic Brook Drive to Southwest Parkway is being done now and should all be finished within the next 18 months. MoPac South MoPac South is the portion of MoPac from Slaughter Lane across

“This road is going to be built!” Daugherty said of SH45SW. “This is the first time I can say that with confidence.” Gazette: Will Atkins

June 11- June 24, 2015

Drippin’ Lowdown Continued from p. 11 • • • The only problem with Texas dancehalls is the Texas weather. Most traditional country halls are climate controlled with central (Texas) air—so they’re too hot all summer and too cold most of the winter. (And spring and fall pass so quickly....) Dripping Springs’ own Mercer Street Dancehall has overcome that obstacle. Housed in a completely remodeled polebarn, it’s been thoroughly insulated and equipped with a powerful air conditioning and heating system that makes it possible to comfortably two-step a summer night away on the large wooden dance floor. As a musician, owner Nick Dotin spent 35 years in other dancehalls and honky-tonks playing in rock ‘n roll and country bands and knows how to run a good, clean, fun establishment. “I’ve spent a lot of time in honky-tonks and bars. I’ve seen it, I know it, and I know what to do,” he says. “This is not my first rodeo.” A musician knows good music and Mercer Street Dancehall’s lineup shows it. From country, bluegrass and Americana to Cajun, blues and rock, Nick books bands whose music is danceable and accomplished. On June 25, the live music venue kicks it up a notch higher with Grammy award-winning artist

neighborly news

David Ball. An original member of Austin’s renowned Uncle Walt’s Band, Ball relocated to Nashville in the early 1990s and found success there as a solo artist. He recorded the top selling country song of 1994 and his “Riding with Private Malone” made it to #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in 2001. In 1997, Bob Dylan invited David to join Jerry Garcia, Bono, Willie Nelson and others to celebrate The Songs of Jimmie Rodgers: A Tribute. Later that year, David joined Bruce Springsteen onstage at the Kennedy Center to sing a tribute to Dylan at his Kennedy Center Honors award celebration. David Ball’s performance at Mercer Street Dancehall is one of only three stops on the band’s Texas tour. Advance tickets are on sale online (and advised). • • • Other events in Dripping Springs and surrounds this June: June 13 - Blanco River Flood Relief Fest at Stone Valley Music Park, Johnson City. 12 pm - 12am. A stunning lineup of music and silent auction items to benefit Blanco and Wimberley flood victims. Ticket price donations matched by Dripping Springs Lions Club. [www.stonevalleytexas.com, or their Facebook page] June 20th - 4th Annual Tomato

Round-Up at Founders Memorial Park, Dripping Springs. 10am - 2pm. Hosted by the city’s Farmers Market, the Tomato Round-Up celebrates those luscious fruits of summer. Bring your own homegrown tomatoes to enter in the competitions, or assist with the tasting and judging for $1 per category. [4th Annual Tomato Roundup on Facebook] June 5-July 4 - The Wizard of Oz at Emily Ann Theater, Wimberley. [www.emilyann.org] June 12-14 - Blanco Lavendar Festival, Blanco. [www.blancochamber. com] June 13 - Vino al Pastor Wine Tour, Johnson City to Fredericksburg. [wineroad290.com] June 19-20 - Peach Jamboree, Stonewall. [stonewalltexas.com]
