APD District Representatives program put on simulated chopping block by Ann Fowler OAK HILL - An item Austin police say is “the keystone of our community policing program” was put on the city’s Service Reduction Plan when city departments were asked to show ways to reduce each budget by 2.5 percent. The District Representative program is currently listed under “Potential Service Reductions” for the Austin Police Department (APD). Eliminating that program, as well as its Office of Community Liaison and the positions in Highway Enforce-
ment, would result in a net savings of nearly $8.7 million. Created in 1998, the District Representative (DR) program creates liaisons between Austin neighborhoods and APD regional commands. District Representatives attend neighborhood association meetings to answer questions and assist in solving non-emergency problems. The DR program gives communities a go-to person on the police force to resolve concerns and, when needed, enhance patrol efforts.
Assistant Chief Brian Manley, chief of staff to Police Chief Art Acevedo, told the Gazette, “This was a budget reduction exercise.” Difficult decisions had to be made when more than 90 percent of the APD budget goes to salary, he explained. “Our focus was on front-line patrols, so we had to look at officers in non-patrol assignments,” Chief Manley explained. “Eliminating the District Representative program is not something we want to do, but one of the first programs we would have to eliminate.”
Inside: Our 20th annual Meet Your Merchants special section
He stressed that the current reduction list is just an exercise and does not diminish the value APD places on this successful program. “It is the keystone of our community policing efforts,” he said. Austin Councilmember Ellen Troxclair represents Oak Hill in District 8. She assured the Gazette that the DR program is safe. She said, “I do not believe anyone is considering eliminating APD’s District Representatives. In fact, I think the Council and City Management would strongly oppose that idea.” See APD on p. 12

Water line move delays CFI at Wm. Cannon by Ann Fowler
Can you guess which local business the above employees work at? Meet the people who make Oak Hill area businesses the successes that they are—this year’s Meet Your Merchants starts on p. 13.
OAK HILL - Commuters awaiting the start of the continuous flow intersection (CFI) at William Cannon and U.S. 290 West will have to wait a little longer. A water line under the roadway has to be moved, according to authorities. CFIs are designed to allow those turning left to do so before the actual intersection, with the goal to save time by eliminating the left-turn cycle. The revised intersection at the ‘Y’ was rolled out last month. People on the local neighborhood social media website NextDoor were quick to express opinions. Patrick Nolan of the Villages of Western Oaks said, “Just went north from Convict Hill to 290 West. Line of sight is confusing, but trust the lights, painted
road lanes and just don’t enter oncoming traffic. Will be more interesting at night.” Jennifer Brinlee wrote, “It looks pretty confusing, so hopefully anyone who doesn’t drive it often will know what to do.” She added, “The one fatal flaw in this plan is that it assumes people won’t stop in the intersections/lanes. So hopefully, people won’t.” Maple Run resident Albert Gonzales wrote, “I am putting a cattle guard in front of my SUV when those lanes open.” The William Cannon CFI is not yet open due to some unexpected work needed by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). Kelli Reyna, public information officer for the TxDOT Austin District, told the Gazette, See WATER on p. 12

Fireworks sales begin today, fire officials urge caution The Independence Day fireworks sale season runs today through July 4, and firework-related injuries are also in season. In 2013, 65 percent (7,400) of all firework injuries occurred in the 30 days surrounding July 4, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Instead of taking the risk of buying and using fireworks, the Travis County Fire Marshal’s Office recommends attending a
professional fireworks show. According to the National Fire Protection Association, • In 2012, U.S. hospital emergency rooms treated an estimated 8,700 people for fireworks related injuries; 55 percent of 2012 emergency room fireworks-related injuries were to the extremities, and 31 percent were to the head. • The risk of fireworks injury was highest for young people ages 15-24,
followed by children under 10. • On July 4, in a typical year, far more U.S. fires are reported than on any other day, and fireworks account for two out of five of those fires, more than any other cause of fires. If the use of fireworks is legal in your area, and you decide to use them, follow these safety tips: • Buy from reliable fireworks sellers only, and never attempt to make your own fireworks or modify existing
fireworks. • To detonate fireworks, find a flat surface, away from buildings, dry leaves and grass. • Have water on hand in case of a fire. • Insist on adult supervision when buying or setting off fireworks. • Read and follow label directions, warnings and instructions. • Be sure other people are out of range before lighting fireworks. • Light only one firework at a time. • Never try to re-Iight fireworks that have not fully functioned. • Never give fireworks to small children; even sparklers can cause
serious burns. In unincorporated parts of Travis County, the sale and possession of fireworks are legal. Both are prohibited within the city limits of Austin. In addition, fireworks are not allowed in Travis County Parks and parks managed by Travis County. For more information about fireworks safety, go to: traviscountytx. gov/fire-marshal/prevention. - Travis County Emergency Services Public Information Officer Lisa Block, 512-854-7954.

Either I’m having a patella-buckling, spleen-expanding, koala-slapping case of déjà vu, or I’ve written all this before and am now simply too addled to recognize it, but here goes: You know how sometimes the gods smile upon you. Yah? True, sometimes they do. This is when things somehow turn out OK despite your astounding lack of common sense. Sometimes, however, they just grin and chuckle, leaving you to fend for yourself. They are amused at your puny efforts. And yet other times, they smirk or give you that blank stare like you really screwed things up. My advice for these times is just to act like you truly intended the outcome, no matter how calamitous. This gives the gods pause, and that brief delay in the Great Spinning Wheel of Fate (GSWOF) often provides that slim window of time in which you have a certain measure of self-determination. Like that time you were second string on the seventh-grade football team, and the coach was trying to decide whether to let you in the game just before halftime and in your excitement you simply ran out onto the field and got to play two whole plays before coach yelled at you to sit down and quit acting foolish. Kinda like that. This is to say that I believe the big guys are smiling at present, because just in time for the Third Biennial Oldspouse Familiar Phrase Contest

My take on the MoPac South Proposal by Gerald Daugherty, Precinct 3 Commissioner Traffic and Mobility is the #1 issue in Austin, and everywhere else in this region. WE NEED MORE ROAD CAPACITY because we have an ever-growing population, and an ever-increasing number of autos and trucks on the roads. Although there are roads that will and can be built with gas taxes, I support tolling as a method of financing so that roads Gerald Daugherty can be built quicker. If we had to depend on regular tax dollars, it would be years before some of the roads we desperately need could be built. Unfortunately, in certain cases, we now find ourselves with the choice
of “no roads” or “toll roads”. Our ability to build a comprehensive roadway network (versus the piecemealing we’ve done) has been hamstrung by special interest groups, lack of local funding commitments and local elected officials being afraid of making people mad. This isn’t saying that citizens’ concerns don’t mean anything, because some concerns are relevant. With legitimate and constructive input, projects can be altered to have better and acceptable outcomes. I’ll always encourage public comment, especially when it involves ways to help mitigate our traffic congestion. However, the Vocal Minority cannot be the enemy of the Greater Good! More than 40 meetings and community events have been held since the MoPac South Environmental Study process began in 2013. In response to the latest community feedback, the CTRMA extended the study time frame an extra three to six months to allow more time: To evaluate options; For the public to fully understand the plan; and To

receive input during more planned special neighborhood meetings and workshops. We need a total commitment from all involved not to spread inaccurate information. To avoid inflammatory rumors, we need to make sure accurate and complete info is disseminated. Be aware that any info given out, before ALL input is gathered and final reports produced, will not be complete and may be inaccurate. Let the CTRMA roll things out… look, listen, and then give comments that propose viable solutions, not just opposition. Certain groups may not want these improvements, but there are probably many more people that would welcome these improvements. I’ll always encourage the CTRMA to make all information on this issue available to the public. I fully support the four lanes of enhanced capacity on MoPac South. This is the most effective way to move more people and vehicles—with this Continued on page 10

Looking for an old-fashioned Fourth? by Laurel Robertson So, you’re after a traditional Fourth of July experience—hamburgers, hot dogs, ice cream, family fun and, of course, sitting on a grassy hillside watching fireworks light up the night sky? My advice to you would be to either: 1) Gird your loins and head into the teeth of Austin traffic to attend Austin’s Fourth of July Fireworks at Auditorium Shores. Better be ready to haul those lawnchairs and cooler a mile and sit in traffic more than an hour coming and going—in fact, don’t plan on getting home until the wee hours of July 5th! Or.... 2) Take a leisurely drive west to Dripping Springs, Wimberley, or Johnson City, enjoying beautiful scenery and interesting stops along the way, see fantastic fireworks dis-
plays with all the trimmings, and be home in time to polish off a few sparklers before retiring at a reasonable hour. It’s your call.... If you decide to take Door Laurel Robertson # 1—you’re on your own (and may God have mercy on you!) If you decide to take the more laid-back Door #2—here are some of your options: Fire in the Sky, Dripping Springs’ Fourth of July celebration, marks its second year at Dripping Ranch Park, after outgrowing its previous
home in Belterra. The free event begins at 5pm with food trucks, a bounce house, petting zoo, train rides and more—or you can create your own recreations in the 110-acre park’s hiking and riding trails, open meadows and playground. Folks are invited to bring picnics (no glass containers), blankets and lawn chairs. Protection from the elements is available beneath the 166,000 square-foot roof of the Event Center, including bathrooms with flushing toilets! Since the hills of Dripping Springs are roughly 750’ higher in elevation than Auditorium Shores in Austin, evening temperatures are generally at least 5 degrees cooler here, with more breeze. For those who want to enjoy the event in style and comfort, State Rep. Continued on page 10

Canine Flu is spreading in Texas
How to Curb the Contagion The Canine Influenza has been spreading throughout the continental United States, including Texas, so the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) has some information and tips to help dog owners better understand the virus. “What we need to keep in mind is that humans can physically transmit the virus - which can stay on our clothes for up to 24 hours- so it is important to be careful about interacting with any unknown dogs,” says AVMA spokesperson Dr. Aspros “With proper education, we can do our best to minimize the spread.” What is canine influenza? Canine influenza (CI), or dog flu, is a highly contagious infection caused by an influenza A subtype H3N8 virus first discovered in 2004. What are common symptoms of the infection in dogs? In the mild form, the most common sign is a cough that persists for 2-3 weeks. However, some dogs can develop signs of severe pneumonia, such as a high-grade fever (104°F-106°F) and faster breathing. Other signs in infected dogs include nasal and/or ocular discharge, sneezing, fatigue, and refusing food. Is every dog at risk of infection?
All dogs, regardless of breed or age, are susceptible to infection. How does it spread? Canine influenza is spread from dog to dog through the air, contaminated objects (kennel surfaces, food and water bowls, collars and leashes), and people interacting with infected and uninfected dogs. On surfaces, the virus is alive and can infect dogs for up to 48 hours, on clothing for 24 hours, and on hands for 12 hours. Can veterinarians test for canine influenza? The most reliable and sensitive method for confirmation is serologic testing. Antibodies to canine influenza virus can appear in blood as early as 7 days after symptoms begin, and the virus may be identified in nasal or pharyngeal swabs during
the first 4 days of illness. Any treatment options? In May 2009, the USDA approved the first influenza vaccine for dogs. Trials have shown that it can significantly reduce the duration of illness, including the incidence and severity of damage to the lungs. Dog owners should consult with their vet to determine whether the vaccine is appropriate for their dog. Can canine influenza infect people? There is no evidence that the virus can be transmitted from dogs to humans. For more information about canine influenza virus, visit https:// www.avma.org/KB/Resources/ Reference/Pages/Canine-Influenza-Backgrounder.aspx

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?

Commissioner’s Corner Continued from p. 5 desperately needed added capacity. One big advantage of two lanes in each direction is that it will create more lanes for Capital Metro express buses, registered van-pools, and emergency vehicles that will get to use these lanes for free. However, during the extended study time frame, CTRMA is also analyzing one lane in each direction. They’ll compare the two lanes and one lane study results to see what’s best for congestion relief and future traffic growth needs. The proposed interchange at Cesar Chavez greatly affects north/south traffic on MoPac, and entrance to/ exit from downtown Austin. The CTRMA is looking at different alternatives over the river, including
“direct connects” and “no direct connects” options. I’ve asked the CTRMA to answer the following question: If a part of the structure is not elevated, can the exit and entrance to Cesar Chavez be accomplished for the HOV lanes on Mopac? If, without elevated lanes, we can achieve the most added capacity that we all know is necessary (two lanes in each direction south of the river), then I’m fine with that. People need to know this: the height of the proposed elevated lanes for easier, smoother exit and entry are LOWER than the I-35 upper deck, and they’re LOWER than the existing Mopac lanes that go over the Union Pacific railroad line. They’re also the SAME height as the present Cesar Chavez to North
Drippin’ Lowdown Continued from p. 5 Jason Isaac (co-sponsor of the event) is hosting a special VIP event in the air-conditioned comfort of the Event Center’s 12,000 square-foot Special Venue Room. VIP ticket holders can enjoy a dinner catered by the Salt Lick, a selection of locally-produced adult beverages, and reserved seating outside the Special Venue Room during the fireworks display. Live music will entertain the VIP group in the hall throughout the evening. Come early—park gates will close at 9 P.M., the fireworks display begins at 9:15. Instead of waiting in the line of cars leaving the park immediately after the fireworks, stay around for the After Party in the VIP area, and enjoy live music, drinks and light snacks while everyone else waits in their cars for the line to move. The After Party is included with a VIP ticket, or is available for a suggested donation of $5-$10. The fireworks show is free, but donations at the gate and proceeds from the VIP dinner help to support the North Hays County Fire/Rescue and current flood relief efforts. VIP dinner tickets are available through Jason Isaac’s website: www.isaacfortexas.com. Wimberley’s July Jubilee—Even a thousand-year flood event can’t stop the Wimberley Fourth of July festivities. Because this year the Fourth falls on the first Saturday
Mopac ramp—and how long has that ramp been there without its’ height being questioned? I’m fully committed to working with the CTRMA, Travis County Transportation and Natural Resources, the City of Austin, and the other municipal jurisdictions to develop and propose viable solutions, and to study the additional capacity required for Cesar Chavez in and out of downtown Austin. For extensive information on the MoPac South project, go to the website MoPacSouth.com, there you’ll find the latest news, and how you can participate. You can also sign up to receive their email newsletters that will keep you updated on the project. Or call them at (512) 996-9778 for your questions or feedback.
neighborly news
of the month (the regular day for Wimberley Market Days), the Independence Day Parade will wind through the streets of the village on Friday, July 3rd, beginning at 10 am. This is the proverbial patriotic, flag-waving, red, white and blue celebration of America’s birthday you wish you remembered from your childhood. Make sure your children will remember it from theirs. And what is more American (at least Texan-American) than a rodeo? For the past 70 years, Wimberley VFW’s Fourth of July Rodeo has been one of the best in the country (in 2006, the Cowboys Professional Rodeo Association ranked it the “Best CPRA Rodeo of the Year.”) It’s always held the first weekend of July, which means this year it takes place July 2, 3 and 4 at the VFW rodeo grounds north of Wimberley on Jacob’s Well Road, just off RR 12. Gates open at 5:30, Mutton Bustin’ at 7pm, CPRA rodeo begins at 8pm. There’s a free fireworks show each night after the rodeo, and a dance on Saturday night. On Saturday the Fourth, Wimberley’s famed Market Days takes over the town from 7am-4pm. Anything you can imagine (and plenty of things you never did imagine) are amassed in one place at the largest outdoor market in the Texas Hill Country. More than 500 vendor booths line the shaded walkways of
Lions Field, selling antiques, unique clothing, trinkets, pottery, artwork, toys, decor, garden items—really, anything and everything imaginable. The Wimberley Lions Club rents out the booth spaces, hosts all the concessions and donates all the profits to scholarships, charities and community projects. For more information on all of Wimberley’s July Jubilee events, see their website - www.wimberley. org/events. Those who drive the extra 25 miles to Johnson City for the Fourth will get more for their mileage. Johnson City and Blanco (just 14 miles apart on Hwy 281) team up to sponsor Spangle Dangle, the consummate Independence Day celebration. The two-town’s planning team is headed by Dale Hardy, local rancher and admitted Fourth of July nut.

The Mendoza Brothers ride again by Mike Jasper
Part One The word from Oak Hill is... outlaw. Jerome and I sat on the sidewalk of Lavaca Street as the cops searched the vehicle. Two days earlier, Jerome bought a used Volkswagen bus and the cops thought it was stolen. They spotted us tooling down Lavaca, put on the lights and sirens, made us get out of the bus, patted us down for firearms, told us the license plates matched a stolen vehicle and instructed us to sit on the curb. Life was good. For once I was innocent and the pseudo-bust only made me feel young again. “I’m sorry, man. I can’t believe this is happening. I’m so sorry,” Jerome said. I thought he was going to cry. Unlike me, Jerome lived a good, decent life. Only now, at the age of 40, did he give into temptations, such as divorcing his wife, quitting his computer job, taking up music

Then fireworks rain down from the sky, accompanied by music. “This will be our biggest display ever,” he promises. “Twice as many as last year!” Dale expects more than 3,000 people at this year’s Spangle Dangle. In between the morning parade and the evening festivities, visitors will have plenty of time to check out both of Blanco County’s iconic courthouses—one in Johnson City, the other in Blanco—and find out why one county has two courthouses. Lunch can be a bacon cheeseburger at the Blanco Bowling Club or a seasonal salad at the Redbud Cafe, both on the Courthouse Square in Blanco.

launch straw rockets, film canister rockets and other aircraft at the Hill Country Science Mill in Johnson City, and be amazed by the dozens of other science experiments in the new world-class science museum. (See full article in June 11 Oak Hill Gazette.) Or head over to the Exotic Resort Zoo to see zebras, kangaroos, camels, bison, monkeys and dozens of other un-caged species on 137 acres of wooded Hill Country. (www.zooexotics.com) For those who’ll drive another 15 minutes to travel 100 years back in time, the Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm in the LBJ State Park near Stonewall promises to show visitors how to celebrate the Fourth of July the old-fashioned way. The living history farm was an actual working German-American farm during the late-19th and early-20th centuries and is now presented as it was in 1918. Interpreters wear period clothing, do the farm and household chores as they were done
at that time, and conduct tours for the visitors. You can actually see, smell and taste the past there. (www. tpwd.texas.gov/calendar/july-4that-the-farm) • • • For a living history experience closer to home, kids ages 6-12 are invited to the Dr. Pound Historical Farmstead in Dripping Springs for hands-on pioneer activities each Thursday morning in July. Classes will be held from 9:00 am-11:00 am at the pioneer homestead museum at the back of Founders Park in town. Participants will learn skills that pioneer children learned—such as baking apple pies, scrubbing laundry on washboards, weaving baskets, making straw brooms, and fashioning a marble bag from leather. They’ll even learn to play marbles! Cost per class is $10 and reservations are required, since class sizes are limited. Visit their website at www. drpoundhistoricalfarmstead.org to sign up today!

APD District Representatives program said to be safe Continued from p. 1

to address cutbacks that could be necessary with the adoption of a potential homestead exemption.
She said, “The Council has made it very clear that we have no intention of cutting basic city services such as
Austin High School PG2015 HUGE SUCCESS! Austin High School’s Project Graduation was held at the Town Lake YMCA on June 4th and was a huge success with over 300 Class of 2015 Austin High graduates in attendance. Memories were made as we watched our graduates get bucked from the mechanical bull, fight ferociously in the Dodge Ball tournament, enjoy dinner in our Food Truck Trailer Park, dance all night to DJ Buck, swim & splash in the pool, go all night at the Casino tables, play billiards, belt it out at karaoke and WIN BIG at the 4am prize drawings! Thank you to the PG2015 committee chairs, late night owls, early bird helpers and all who gave their time to this event. A very special THANK YOU to all PG2015 sponsors and donors. Our graduates enjoyed an unforgettable night due to your generosity. We could not have done this without YOU!
police resources.” Troxclair considers the DR program an important community resource: “I think the District Representatives have been a great resource to our community and I think it has helped raise awareness about how to report crimes, how to start neighborhood programs, and how to reduce crime overall.” Oak Hill residents were alarmed that the program would even be considered for elimination. Tom Thayer of South Windmill Run is concerned that APD responsiveness may diminish if the program is eliminated. He added, “District Reps are handy as a point of contact that neighborhoods can get to know for easy communication with APD. The Rep also can get to know the district well
and hopefully keep up with what is going on there.” Laura Faulk of Beckett Estates also praised the program as a valuable asset to her neighborhood. She said, “They have come to neighborhood meetings to talk about area crime, safety tips, neighborhood watch programs, etc. We have also used them for advice with specific issues in the area.” Windmill Run resident Carol Cespedes said community policing is a key element in crime prevention. “I think the APD representatives are actually stretched too thin. We need more, not less,” she said. The APD District Representatives for Southwest Austin are Officer Jeffrey Binder (512-974-4415) and Officer Joshua Visi (512-974-4260). Below: Officer Joshua Visi
Water line move delays CFI at Wm. Cannon Continued from p. 1 “Currently, we anticipate the CFI to be open this summer. We’re working on moving a water line that we found under the roadway. Once the conflict is resolved, we will be able to open the intersection. We also have some final paving work to complete from Joe Tanner Lane to Oak Meadow.” In the meantime, those turning right from William Cannon to northbound U.S. 290 West are faced with an awkward entrance to the roadway, as drivers need to crane their necks to watch for oncoming traffic. Juan Cisneros complained, “Pulled a muscle in my shoulder just by turning around. Linda Blair on The Exorcist has a better chance than me.” Bruce Barth of Circle C North wrote, “I commute through Oak Hill on William Cannon to Highway 290
West and feel the new intersection has contributed to more accidents and congestion than before. I have witnessed two accidents.” TxDOT has posted videos showing how the intersections work: U.S. 290 West at the ‘Y’: h t t p s : / / w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=KkBM0vJToJM U.S. 290 West at William Cannon Drive: h t t p s : / / w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=soRw9vqaM-k In the roadway redesign through the area, the signal at Joe Tanner was removed and replaced with a “Michigan Left” turn, which has been open for several months. The Michigan Left is basically a U-turn just past the former Joe Tanner intersection. These roadway improvements have cost about $6.5 million

The Word from Oak Hill Continued from p. 11 of the regulars offered to buy me a drink — not even Jim, the owner. To make matters worse, the rain came down hard in LA and fueled my self-pity as I packed my music gear into my ‘66 Chevy station wagon and headed home. As I pulled out of the bar parking lot, I hung a left and caught a red light at Manchester and Sepulveda. I needed to take another left on Sepulveda, but when I stopped for the light a cop car pulled up opposite me and turned on his right blinker. Hmmm. I thought long and hard as I waited for the light to change: Should I let him make his right turn when the light turns green or should I go at the same time. Decisions, decisions. When the light turned green, I waited a moment but the cop car didn’t move. So I turned left. As soon as I started my turn, the cop car turned right, so we were driving side by side, the most uncomfortable position on the road, even when it’s
not a cop. Although the speed limit was 35, the cop car cruised at 25, so I decided to pass him. When I did, I got into the right lane, but the cop sped up and followed closely. Just as I cleared the LA airport tunnel, I saw the Christmas lights go on and heard a quick obnoxious siren. I pulled over and expected the worst. I got it. “Can I see your license and registration?” I shuffled through my crammed glove compartment and found the papers. “What’s your name?” “Mike Jasper,” I said. “It says Mike Eagan on your license.” “I know, but I’m a musician and everyone knows me as Mike Jasper. I’m in the process of changing my name. Show biz, right?” “According to this, the car’s registered in the name of Albert Loew,” he said, dangling the registration in front of my nose. “Is that another name you go by?” “No, that’s my step-dad’s name. He gave me the car three weeks ago, but I haven’t gotten around to registering it yet.”
“All right, then, I want all three of you step out of the car.” Everybody’s a comedian. I got out of the car while he ran a make on my license and registration. His partner, considerably older and fatter, came over to keep a watch on me. “I know who you are,” he said. “You do?” Hmmm. Is he a music fan? A regular at the bar? I couldn’t place him. “I sure do. You’re one of the Mendoza brothers, aren’t you?” “The what?” I was completely baffled and since I already answered to two names, I entertained the possibility that I might actually be one of the Mendoza brothers Maybe in my continuing efforts to womanize,ItoldsomelovelyladyIwas one of the Mendoza brothers. Maybe the Mendoza Brothers are a band. Yeah, I think I heard of them. I think I bought their album. (To be continued next week.) ••• Have a story you need to tell?

listen, and learn the rich history we have to share. History of the Sculptures: The sculptures were originally commissioned by the Texas Legislature in 1999 to serve as a memorial to Juneteenth on the Capitol grounds. This project stalled, though the sculptures had already been made, and the sculptures were moved, first to Bastrop’s Deep in the Heart Art Foundry, and then eventually to a State outdoor warehouse in East Austin. In 2013, Sylvester Turner, the Texas Legislative Black Caucus Chair, and State Representative Dawnna Dukes led a request for care and supervision of the sculptures to be given to the Continued on page 27

City of Austin news Continued from p. 22 City of Austin Parks and Recreation Department’s Carver Museum. With the support of the Austin City Council, the sculptures were transferred to the George Washington Carver Museum, Cultural and Genealogy Center’s care, and began their journey to permanent installation in the Museum’s new historic walk and sculpture garden, hence the name JUNETEENTH MEMORIAL MONUMENT. Unfortunately, due to historic rains and floods, the sculptures’ installation was delayed. All five sculptures were finally placed on their pedestals at the Museum last week, where they await their dedication ceremony on June 27th. The five sculptures represent the journey of General Granger’s news, and are positioned to reflect the timeline of the information: the Lawmaker passes the news to the Preacher, who informs the former slaves, who deliver the details to their daughter, who waits to inform the next generation. Visitors to the Monument will be able to climb onto the sixth pedestal, to symbolically receive the message from the former slave’s daughter, and to step
into history. In addition to the five sculptures and the six pedestals, there will be an interpretive panel, recounting the history of enslavement in the United States and the document that ended its reign, the Emancipation Proclamation. The installation will include a bronze bell, donated by the George Washington Carver AMBASSADORS, which Museum patrons will be encouraged to sound off, in order to “let freedom ring”. George Washington Carver Museum: The Carver Museum & Cultural Center is dedicated to the collection, preservation, research and exhibition of African American historical and cultural material reflecting all dimensions of experiences of persons of African descent living in Austin, Travis County, Texas and in the United States. The museum is a key source of information on the history and celebration of Juneteenth. The new Juneteenth Memorial Monument is a celebration of freedom, and the Carver’s new core exhibit is dedicated to the history and evolution of Juneteenth. The Carver Museum is proud to be the
first museum in the nation to feature a permanent exhibit honoring this Texas-born day of jubilee. For more information or for pictures of the sculptures for the Juneteenth Celebration event, please contact Bernadette Phifer at 512974-3650 or Bernadette.Phifer@ austintexas.gov.
CYCLOSPORA OUTBREAK Cyclospora is an intestinal illness caused by a microscopic parasite. The Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department is investigating an outbreak of cyclospora, an intestinal illness caused by a microscopic parasite. As of today, the department has 15 confirmed and probable cases and 11 new cases that are currently under investigation. Within the past week, 42 cases of Cyclospora infection have been reported to the Texas Department of State Health Services. Cyclospora is spread by people ingesting something - such as food or water - that was contaminated with feces (stool). Cyclospora needs time (days to weeks) after being passed in a bowel movement to become infectious for another
person. Therefore, it is unlikely that Cyclospora is passed directly from one person to another. In the United States, foodborne outbreaks of cyclosporiasis have been linked to various types of imported fresh produce including berries and leafy greens. At this time, no particular food item has been identified. It is recommended that residents thoroughly wash fresh produce. The time between becoming infected and becoming sick is usually about 1 week. Cyclospora infects the small intestine (bowel) and usually causes watery diarrhea, with frequent, sometimes explosive, bowel movements. Other common symp-
toms include loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, fever, and other flu-like symptoms may be noted. Some people who are infected with Cyclospora do not have any symptoms. If not treated, the illness may last from a few days to a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times (relapse). It’s common to feel very tired. If you think you might be infected with Cyclospora see your health care provider.

Welcome rains not enough to end drought near Highland Lakes History shows droughts can persist long after floods From the LCRA AUSTIN – Weeks after storms dumped flooding rains over the Hill Country, the Lower Colorado River Authority on Wednesday encouraged Texans who use water from the Highland Lakes to continue to conserve because the lakes have not fully recovered from the ongoing drought. “We’re not ready to call this drought history,” said John Hofmann, LCRA executive vice president of Water. “We’re in much better shape in terms of water supply than we were just a month ago, but we don’t want anyone to put their guard down too soon. While we are seeing higher lake levels than we have seen in some time, we also know from history that droughts can persist after heavy rains, especially here in Flash Flood Alley.” Combined storage in lakes Travis and Buchanan – the reservoirs that hold the region’s primary water supply – has risen by more than 715,000 acre-feet since January, and now stands at 70 percent of capacity. The level of Lake Travis has risen more than 47 feet since January, and the
level of Lake Buchanan is up more than 11 feet this year. (An acre-foot of water is 325,851 gallons.) In May alone, combined storage increased by more than 537,000 acre-feet. Lake Travis rose nearly 36 feet in May, and Lake Buchanan rose more than 6 feet. Until the current drought, which began in 2008, the worst drought in region’s history stretched from 19471957. During that drought, the levels of both lakes Travis and Buchanan reached their all-time lows. In September 1952, torrential rain caused Lake Travis to rise more than 56 feet in 18 hours. At the time, Lake Travis was so low it held the entire 690,000 acre-foot increase, and LCRA did not open a single floodgate at Mansfield Dam. Yet even with that record-breaking rise, the severe drought continued for another five years and didn’t break until flooding rains began in 1957. “This drought has caused enormous hardships throughout the lower Colorado River basin,” Hofmann said. “While we are pleased to see higher lake levels, it’s important to remember that May 2015 was the
first month we’ve seen above-average inflows – or water flowing into the lakes from streams and tributaries – since March of 2012. We want to see sustained higher lake levels, combined with more normal inflows and a wet weather pattern before we’re ready to declare this drought over.” Hofmann encouraged cities to continue conserving water and to consider keeping some water restrictions in place to encourage conservation. “We appreciate everything people have already done to help save water. We need to keep those good habits going and make conservation a way of life,” Hofmann said. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has granted LCRA emergency relief from the 2010 Water Management Plan in 2012, 2013, 2014 and the first part of 2015. On June 17, the TCEQ executive director granted LCRA’s request to extend the emergency relief for the remainder of the 2015 irrigation season, subject to approval by the commissioners.

Austin, Bowie and Crockett players in baseball All Star game at Dell Diamond 16th annual Austin Area High School Seniors All Star game by Patrick Olson Austin High, Bowie and Crockett were represented Sunday at the Dell Diamond in Round Rock as five local players competed in the 16th annual Austin Area High School Seniors All Star game presented by the Austin Area Baseball Coaches Association. Gilbert Prather serves as the AABCA president and coaches at Anderson, the northernmost school of the South team. The North team, consisting primarily of suburban Williamson County schools,
defeated the South All Stars 8-1 in a full nine inning contest. Patrick Pate of Austin High pitched a scoreless relief inning early in the game and Bowie catcher Joe Davis, who will be taking his talent to the University of Houston in the fall, popped up to second base as a designated hitter. Nick Perez flew out to right field but the Maroons shortstop made a fine defensive play on hard hit grounder by the North. The game was tied 1-1 until the fifth frame when Dartmouth commit Michael
Brown of Pflugerville blasted a two run double into the right centerfield gap en route to winning the game’s MVP award. AJ Riojas from Crockett entered the game at the designated hitter spot and struck out in the sixth inning before popping up to right field in the bottom of the eighth. Bowie’s Kyle Gray worked in left field and collected the fifth South hit of the game on an infield single to third base. Gray coaxed a base on balls in the final South at bat in an attempt to initiate a rally before being the victim of the final out of the game on a fielder’s choice ground ball up the middle.
Bowie’s Joe Davis pops up to second base.
