OHAN gets update on local road projects by Bobbie Jean Sawyer

OAK HILL - Staff members from the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority and TxDOT updated the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods (OHAN) on key mobility improvement projects affecting Southwest Austin at the June OHAN meeting held at ACC Pinnacle. OHAN holds its monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of the month. The earliest traffic relief will come in the form of lane and intersection improvements. Dual left-turn lanes

South Mopac to Slaughter could get a makeover will be installed at RM 1826, the Austin Community College campus and Convict Hill Road. A center turn lane will be put in place between RM 1826 and Convict Hill Road. Speakers at the meeting explained how Continuous Flow Intersections (CFI’s) work. CFI’s eliminate the left-turn traffic signal phase by moving the left-turn traffic down the road several hundred feet. The left-turn signal time

is coordinated with separate traffic movement, allowing more cars to pass through the intersection. CFI’s will be constructed at Joe Tanner, William Cannon and SH 71. Project status: Construction of turn lanes between Convict Hill and RM 1826, a 14-month long project, began in May. Construction on Continuous Flow Intersections is anticipated to begin this summer and is estimated to take 19 months

for completion. Kelli Reyna, TxDOT public information officer, said while the improvements will provide much-needed relief, they’re only a temporary solution. “Our traffic modeling shows 30 to 50 percent improvement in traffic flow in this area,” Reyna said. “Thirty to fifty percent is great. We all realize any little bit helps. But it’s not a long See OHAN on page 27

Watson and Workman’s bi-partisan effort helps create Emergency Communications District for area AUSTIN – State Senator Kirk Watson and State Representative Paul Workman announced last week the enactment of legislation that will help keep Central Texans safe by designating a 10-county regional entity as an Emergency Communications District. “This bill will enable the region to coordinate various emergency communication programs more effectively and efficiently,” Senator Watson said. “This will better serve taxpayers and help ensure that emergency services funds are actually used as promised.” The local governments of the Capital Area Council of Governments (or CAPCOG) have been working together to design a “Next Genera-

tion” 9-1-1 system, which will allow the public to transmit text, image, and video messages to Public Service Answering Points. By establishing the Emergency Communications District, county and city governments can continue to work together to manage the implementation of the Next Generation system. “Texas has 24 COGs and 50 Emergency Communications Districts,” stated Representative Workman. “This legislation is unique because this is the first time a local COG has been designated as an Emergency Communications District.” Senator Watson and Representative Workman introduced S.B. 628 and H.B. 1124 to create the new district.

S.B. 628 was finally passed by the House of Representatives on May 21, 2013, after having already passed the Senate earlier that month. This legislation allows the CAPCOG Emergency Communications District to receive 100% of the service fees it collects through cell phone and landline providers. CAPCOG Chair and Round Rock Mayor Alan McGraw said, “This bill reinforces a regional approach managed by governments that are closest to the citizens to ensure their 9-1-1 service fees are reinvested in the best emergency communications systems available.” S.B. 628 takes effect September 1, 2013.

Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods

Local Real Estate market is red hot by Bobbie Jean Sawyer

Austin’s reputation as one of the most desirable places to live is probably the city’s worst kept secret, as evidenced by last decade’s 37 percent population increase. Realtor and Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods (OHAN) board member Vikki Goodwin gave attendees a run down on how the city’s growth impacts the real estate market and how neighborhood development will affect local traffic at the June 12 OHAN meeting at ACC. Goodwin, owner of Goodwin and Goodwin Real Estate, said the recession caused a huge decrease in inventory, resulting in a seller’s market. January saw a drop to 272 active listings in Oak Hill zip codes. “When we had the recession it wasn’t such a great time for people to put their homes on the market and it wasn’t such a great time for the lenders to give builders money for spec homes,” Goodwin said. “The number of spec homes being built greatly decreased.” Though the number of active listings has increased in recent weeks, rising to 631 in May, Goodwin said the Austin real estate outlook remains a seller’s market. “With the increase in home sales and the decrease in inventory, that’s where you get to having a sellers market,” Goodwin said. “ Right now we’re at a 2.2 month supply of inventory. The economists tell you a six month supply is about balanced.” Goodwin said homes are selling so fast, it’s not uncommon for sellers’ to receive offers on their homes within the same weekend it’s listed. “The trend right now is agents will tell the homeowner: ‘We’re going to put your house on the market on Friday. If you can be gone for the weekend that would be great because you’re going to have people come in all hours of the day for the next few days,’” Goodwin said. “We’ll let buyers and their agents know that we’ll review all offers Sunday evening.” Another result of a seller’s market is that homes are selling for list price and above, especially in southwest Austin, Goodwin said. “The sales price to list price ratio is 100 percent and actually there are a lot of homes that are selling for $25,000 above list price and $30,000

Total homes: 434 above list price,” Goodwin said. The median sale price for homes in the Oak Hill area in April 2013 was Greyrock Ranch $297,000, a 60 percent increase over Location: intersection of 45 and April 2003.

OK, OK, you don’t have to klonk the Spouseman over the head with an anvil. Speaking of, you don’t see too many anvils these days, do you? Think about it. When, in your daily comings and goings, have you come across a nice, sturdy yet aesthetically pleasing anvil recently? Critics of modern society may hold forth about how the increasingly technological, service-oriented nature of our economy today has killed such former life staples as record albums, newspapers, actual books, travel agencies, home phones, and the pleasure of becoming permanently out of touch with that glommy high school friend—but I say a true death knell for the world that was is the marked lack of anvils. There was once a time when every decent home needed a good anvil. Nowadays, I’ll bet you can go a whole year without even saying the word “anvil.” And this is so because we simply don’t make things anymore. We tweet. We blog. We text. We don’t plow and dig and forge things. Today’s kids may not even understand the term. Old guy: “I need me a good anvil.” Young guy: “What’s that? An Advil? Got a headache?” Having said all that, however, I did find a reputable anvil supply house—on the internet, ironically enough. For all of your anvil needs, visit www.anvils4sale.com.

Leslie Answers — by Leslie Tourish, LPC

advice

Happiness is connection, not Facebook by Leslie Tourish, LPC Dear Leslie, As I sit here I can look outside the window of my home office and see my beautiful backyard, with my two adorable daughters swinging on their custom playscape. I can hear my wife cooking dinner in the kitchen at the other end of the house. To afford all of this I worked my tail off through four years of college, and then three more years of graduate school, always pulling off top marks. I was aggressive in seeking out the best companies to work for, and now I have finally launched my own company where I have the luxury of working from home and setting my own schedule. My high income allows my wife the freedom from having to work and instead devote her time to raising our girls. I achieved my dream, even possibly the American Dream. If it is all so perfect, then why am I so miserable? Signed, Is that all there is? Dear All That, And part of the American Dream mantra is that if we work and study hard, stay focused on the prize, and never waiver, then the Universe will pop out a big serving of happiness.

Along with a healthy side order of 401K investments. But what if all the stars line up and the plans go as hope AND we’re still not happy? Then the dream becomes a bit more murky and we have to dig deeper. Money may not buy happiness, but poverty tends to produce chaos, misery, and a feeling of the wolf always being at the door. Leslie Tourish, LPC But studies have shown that if people can earn enough money to pay their bills, invest some of their funds for future security, and spend on self-care activities such as health clubs, vacations, hobbies, and entertainment, then we’re more inline for happiness. Past that, having more money may not exponentially increase our contentment. It may actually increase worry due to the complications of money management and increased responsibilities. So, if pots of money aren’t the solution, then what does make us happy? Maybe the answer is in how

we frame the question. Because to be “happy” is a static state, as if now we’re happy and now we’re not. But to be happier is using the active verb, as in it’s a journey, not a destination. While it feels good (if not great) to achieve those high-water marks of excellent grades, promotions, and seeing our names on the company stationary, do you notice how the feeling eventually fades? Then we yearn for the next high. That is the transitory nature of happiness. But to be active in our happiness involves allowing ourselves to engage in activities that we really, really want to do. And to connect with people we really, really want to connect with. While swinging up that ladder of success, did you ever look back and see how your wife and children are doing? And not just in a cursory fashion, but to slow down and engage with them? Really invest your time into these important relationships? You sound lonely, tired, and doubting the reasons why you work so hard. To find passion in our work we must engage in activities we find meaningful. The pure habit of ambition eventually folds in on itself and collapses because there’s nothing substantial supporting

June 27-July 10, 2013... 7

it. But to work because you enjoy the work AND you’re engaged in your family, then you’re creating a self-sustaining system that is good for you and for them. One of the best predictors of happiness is when we spend quality time with our family and friends. Unfortunately in today’s world we are working more hours than previous generations, and in a more distracted fashion due to our social media gadgets. What gets lost in all of this busyness is our quality time. Or in another way of viewing it - our time affluence. To sit with someone and talk, really focus and talk, is what builds relationships. And it’s in the

building of relationships that we grow our deeper connections and positive feelings which make our burdens seem more manageable and our friends more precious. So, if you’re feeling dissatisfied and lonely, then maybe the solution is as simple as turning off your computer, standing up, walking out of your home office and into your home. Push your kids on the swing and help your wife cook dinner. Laughter and love may be the best medicine.

Blind Bowie student is the sole Texan to compete at National Braille Challenge By Lucia Benavides Harley Fetterman, a 14 year-old blind student at James Bowie High School, was one of 60 finalists chosen from among 1,000 to compete at the 13th Annual National Braille Challenge. The event is the only national academic competition for blind students and has been compared to a non-seeing version of the National Spelling Bee. Fetterman is the only student from Texas to qualify. “It’s an exciting time for all of us,” said Beth Freeborn, Harley’s mother, the day before the competition. “He has already participated in the National Braille Challenge five or six times—I’ve lost count! Coming to these events really shows how bright of a kid he is. We are very proud of him.” Fetterman traveled to Los Angeles to test his Braille skills against the best and brightest blind and visually impaired students across the U.S.

and Canada on June 22. The competition, sponsored by the Braille Institute of America, is designed to challenge and motivate students, while at the same time encouraging them to continue their study of Braille. “A blind child that cannot read Braille is just as illiterate as a sighted person who cannot read print,” said Christine Valdez, Marketing Coordinator at Braille Institute of America, Inc. Fetterman agrees with Valdez, saying, “In order for a blind person to be independent, Braille is a huge thing.” In the contest, Students are required to compete in categories using special adaptive devices, like the Perkins Brailler, to test their skills in several areas: reading comprehension, Braille spelling, chart and graph reading, proofreading and Braille speed and accuracy. All in all, the main purpose of the

competition is to promote Braille literacy for blind children. Although it was not the first time Fetterman participated in the challenge, this year most significantly reflected his hard work. He ranked third place in his age group, the highest finish for him ever in this competition. As a reward for their efforts, all 60 participants received a trophy. Additionally, Fetterman received $500 to be spent as he wishes, which he has already planned to put towards college. “It was a lot of fun, and I am proud that I finally ranked,” Fetterman said. “I will definitely compete again next year.” Fetterman has been aware of the importance of Braille literacy since he was a young boy. He started learning to read Braille at the tender age of five, and hasn’t slowed down since. “Harley is an inspirational kid who is not letting blindness get in the way of his success,” said Valdez.

Gazette Automotive Guide

Harley Fetterman placed third in his age group and wins $500 which he is intending to put towards college. Indeed, not only is Fetterman an avid Braille reader and outstanding student, but he has his goals already set in stone. He plans to attend Texas A&M University to study electrical engineering and hopes to one day work on products that help visually impaired people use tactile display technology. Fetterman may be a busy kid, but he still finds time to

Veterans Post

news for Vets

Oak Hill VFW invites public to big 4th of July celebration by Mike Jordan The Oak Hill VFW Post is continuing the annual Independence Day celebration with a parade and BBQ on Thursday July 4th. The festivities will begin around 10 A.M. at the Post with a salute to the flag and a short parade. Around 11:30 A.M., grilled hamburgers and hot dogs will be available for all visitors. Everyone in Oak Hill is invited, with their families. Be sure and bring your bathing suits and enjoy the pool and playground. The VFW Post is located at 7614 Thomas Springs Road. Directions from the Oak Hill ‘Y’ : follow Rt. 71 to Thomas Springs Road. Turn left at the intersection of Rt. 71 and Thomas Springs Rd., go 1.2 miles until you see the entrance sign for the VFW Post (Veterans Cove). There is plenty of parking. See you there. • • • The Oak Hill VFW Post 4443 has just installed its new officers for the next year. The new commander is Gary Adam, the Vice commander is Darryl DeLong, the Junior Vice Commander is Marty Martinez, the Adjutant is Alonzo Rodriguez and the Quartermaster is Robert Campos. Commander Adam spoke of his vision for the Post for the coming year. He stated, “The Post will continue to be a unique model for VFW posts across the country. Our focus is to encourage younger members and their families and we will continue to provide an environment for members’ families with our pool, playground and the park-like setting. In fact, any and all vets are encouraged to come and enjoy our facilities. We hope to see families using our recreational facilities and our grills every weekend this year. The Post is also encouraging all members, and potential members, to participate in the various work parties to improve the resort-like setting at the post. We will also continue our strong involvement in the Oak Hill Community. For example we hold an annual scholarship essay contest for local students.

New VFW Post 4443 Commander Gary Adam, right, congratulates outgoing commander Hank Irwin for his three years as commander. We sponsor scout troupes and Eagle Scouts. We continue to provide support to needy veterans and also work closely with senior groups in our community.” Commander Adam also commended former Commander Hank Irwin who led the post over the last three years in building up the beautiful setting we all enjoy today. “We are hoping we can keep to the high standards Hank set for us,” Commander Adam stated. • • • Regular readers are aware of the fund-raising that members of the Oak Hill Post have been doing to provide improvements in a disabled vet’s home. The Post held a

raffle, which recently ended, and the winner of the grand prize, a large HDTV was Robert Chaplin, while other community members won the additional prizes. One of the winners was Hank Amor, proprietor of Oak Hill Auto Repair. But, instead of collecting the gift certificate, he requested it be given to the disabled vet. In this vein, others contributed work or financial contributions. For example, Whole Foods did their own fund-raising for this cause and raised considerable funds. Additional, and significant, funds were contributed by employees of United Lending, a local mortgage company that also specializes in Continued on back page

OHAN gets update on local road projects Continued from p. 1

term solution.” Ben Engelhardt, TxDOT district engineer for the southern area of Austin, explained how altering traffic signals could help combat congestion. “Changing the intersection is not going to change the car volumes. Every lane in a signalized intersection can handle only so many cars per hour. Tweaking this and making some changes on how that signal timing functions helps improve some of that efficiency to maximize that lane use,” Engelhardt said. Oak Hill Parkway The Oak Hill Parkway project is a proposed redesign of the ‘Y’ intersection of 290 and 71, and is seen as the long-term solution to traffic congestion in the ‘Y’ area. The environmental impact study kicked off last fall and small work sessions were held to discuss specific issues related to the project, such as environmental concerns and bike and pedestrian safety and accessibility. Using public input and feedback, a group of engineers developed seven possible alternative roadway concepts, which were released to the public last month. Project status: The environmental study will take three to five years. The project

will then have to be cleared by the Federal Highway Administration. Melissa Hurst, manager of community outreach for the Mobility Authority, said she anticipates a decision by 2016. Oak Hill resident Charles Draper said being stuck in traffic limbo has stalled the community’s growth and “delayed the rebirth of the Oak Hill town center.” “Oak Hill has kind of lost its identity,” Draper said. “We don’t have any development out here.” Mario Espinoza, deputy executive director of the Mobility Authority, said he shared Oak Hill residents’ frustration over the delays. “Our goal at the mobility authority and with our brethren at TxDOT is to make sure that this process this time works in terms of putting that plan into construction,” Espinoza said. Espinoza added that while it’s too early to say for sure, the project will likely be tolled. “It’s not a given that this is going to be a toll facility, but most likely,” Espinoza said. “The amount of lanes that are going to be needed, the initial capacity that will be needed, as well as the environmental protections that will be put into place in the roadway design itself—that just goes up by tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars {without tolling}.”

Hurst said the next step is coming back to the community with a narrowed list of project concepts. “We’re going to take all that feedback and start planning for our next meeting next fall, where we’ll hopefully start to narrow down the amount of alternatives,” Hurst said. “We really appreciate all the input we’re getting from you guys in terms of what it is you’d like to see.” Mopac South project What is it? The Mobility Authority is proposing to start the Environmental

Study for improvements to MoPac from Cesar Chavez Street south to Slaughter Lane. Proposed improvements could include adding lane(s) along existing MoPac lanes. Implementation of bicycle/pedestrian facilities and access as part of this project will be evaluated during the environmental study. The Mobility Authority will work with communities to determine traffic solutions for the community and drivers in the corridor. Project status: The environmental study will kick off this fall. The first open house will

be held in September. In addition to the Mopac South project, tolled Mopac express lanes will be added, running from Ladybird Lake north to Parmer Lane. The toll rates will be set by the number of cars that use it. “It’s based on supply and demand,” Hurst said. “The more people that want to use it, the toll rate is going to go up. The less people that want to use it, the toll rate will go down.” Espinoza said the fluctuating price helps avoid congestion and maintain Continued on next page

The Word from Oak Hill Continued from p. 5 business trip. Drinks include the Eagle Rare Manhattan with Eagle Rare bourbon, Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters and a Luxardo maraschino cherry. Or you might prefer Buffalo Trace Bourbon Smash, with Buffalo Trace Kentucky bourbon, Domain de Canton ginger liqueur, muddled orange, Chinese bitters and topped with soda. Also, for an extra $10 the bartender will bring you a plate of mushrooms. ••• A local baby boy will be celebrating

neighborly news

his first birthday on July 27, and the circumstances surrounding his birth are straight out of a movie script. I’ll let his mother, Wendy Albrecht, tell the rest of the story. “At the end of July, a little Southwest Austinite will be turning 1 year old. His birth is very special to his family and will be one to be talked about for the rest of his life. “Not only was he born on his parents’ 10-year wedding anniversary (his grandmother passed away on the same day 25 years earlier) but he was also born on the front seat of the family car. “It happened early one morning in

a Southwest Austin neighborhood at the corner of Bannockburn Dr. and Loch Lommond, two miles from our house and one and a half miles from our birthing center. “The awesome part about it was

that his dad, Mark, got to deliver him and his big 3-year-old sister, Kendra, was in the back seat of the car while he was born. “Happy first birthday, Mason! We love you.” (Pause.) No mushrooms were harmed in

a steady speed of traffic. “The more cars that go through, the slower the lane. While we’re not guaranteeing a time, we would like a reliable travel time. Our goal is to

have at least 45 miles per hour at any given time of the day on that lane,” Espinoza said. “It’s not just about moving vehicles; it’s about moving people.”

Free cats and kittens at 6th Annual Kitty Palooza The heat is on, so it’s the “purrfect” time to join a bunch of really cool cats at the sixth annual Kitty Palooza. This year’s event will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday June 29 and Sunday June 30 at the Austin Animal Center, 7201 Levander Loop. At this event adoption fees for all shelter cats and kittens will be waived for Saturday and Sunday. All cats will be spayed or neuter, microchipped, and vaccinated—a value of more than $200. Sponsored in part by the Friends of the Austin Animal Center the first 50 adoptions will get a goodie bag of supplies your new cat(s) will enjoy. “We’ve booked a wide variety of acts,” said Foster Coordinator Erin Herren, “it’s obvious that Austin’s got talent.” From old favorites like Purr Jam, Catsy Cline and New Kittens on the Block to some of the hottest new artists like Katy Purry, and Neon Kittens these talented felines are sure to put a song in your heart, and

unlike most festivals, the shelter will make it easy to take your favorite artist or artists home with you. “Many of these young groups have really matured beautifully, and it’s been a lot of fun to watch them grow and come into their own,” said Abigail Smith, Chief Animal Services Officer. “Now we want to get them the exposure and recognition they deserve, and we’re hoping to get multiple (adoption) contracts signed on this exciting weekend.” The Austin Animal Center is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. More information about Austin Animal Services programs can be found at www.AustinAnimalCenter.org; by calling 3-1-1 for animal issues after hours; or by visiting the Center’s Facebook page at www.facebook. com/austinanimalservices. The City also maintains the Town Lake Animal Center, 1156 W. Cesar Chavez St., as an overflow animal adoption location. It also is open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

face floors, private backyards, sizable closet space and a close proximity to good schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even my buyers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have children still recognize that homes that feed into the better schools are going to appreciate better,â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to maintain their value.â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said neighborhoods such as Avana are proof of the importance of local schools when buyers are selecting a home.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avana is a very popular neighborhood. It feeds into what people consider to be some of the best schools in southwest Austin: Kiker, Gorzycki and Bowie,â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said. Goodwin said the market is having a negative effect on renters as more and more homeowners are choosing to sell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as their renter moves out theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pulling it off the rental market and selling it,â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an incredibly difficult market for people moving here wanting to

rent the first year.â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said, on average, Oak Hill home sales hover around $130 or $140 per square foot, with a bottom price of $116 per square foot and a top price of $172 per square foot. Central Austin homes sell for an average of $300 per square foot. Goodwin said while Oak Hill population is on the upswing, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the northern suburbs, such as the Teravista neighborhood in Round Rock, that are experiencing the greatest population boom.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even my buyers who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have children still recognize that homes that feed into the better schools are going to appreciate better,â&#x20AC;? - Goodwin â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel like southwest Austin is growing like gangbusters and it is, but honestly the northern suburbs are growing even faster,â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really incredible.â&#x20AC;? Goodwin said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nationwide sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible for attracting future-Austinites from across the country.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All big cities across the country are really selling well.

Veterans Post

news for Vets

Continued from p. 22 obtaining mortgage loans for veterans. Many other local residents also made generous contributions. It has become typical that Oak Hill residents continue to show their generosity. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Over the past year, I have been asked what can a veteran do when he has lost his Form DD-214. The DD-214 is the official record of an individualâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military service record. The DD-214 has become an essential record, ranking with birth certificates, health insurance forms, etc. The DD-214 is required to receive veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services, such as health-care, VA assistance and even discounts. For example, a fishing license is free, or discounted in most states, free admission passes for state parks, and more. Many of us have filed the form away and then when needed is lost. But, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t despair. A copy of the military service record can be obtained from several sources. If you need it in a hurry, there are several private companies who can obtain a copy. Most of these companies can get it quickly, but for a fee, and you can find them by Googling â&#x20AC;&#x153;replace DD-214â&#x20AC;? and you will find a number of options. However, there is another way that can help you get a copy of the service record at no cost. There is a web page that provides an individual with a form to complete (obvious since this is a government process), but remember, it is free. It also can take up to six weeks to get the form, but it is a good alternate if you are not in a hurry. The web site can be found by doing a search on FreeDD2-4.com. The instructions are simple and the process can be completed on-line or you can get a printed copy of the application from and mail it. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ If you have been following the employment news, you are probably aware that unemployment stats for veterans under the age of 35, across the country are nearly double the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unemployment rate. In Texas, because of the healthy state economy, the vetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; unemployment rate is only about 5 percent. However, if you are looking for a job, the statistics are not especially helpful. There are solutions, of course. There is a web site that list jobs by state. The jobs range from general labor

To find these, check out the web site http:// veteranjobs.net. The positions are listed along with a brief description of the job and how to apply. Also, remember the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) has former vets that specialize in helping veterans who are seeking jobs. There are a number of TWC offices around the city, with one just off Rt. 290, just east of I-35. If you need an updated Resume, contact me directly and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll help you develop one. â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ â&#x20AC;˘ Thought of the day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not living on the edge, you are taking up too much room.

Today as well as the Oak Hill Gazette. This column is a collection of local news information both for and about military veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; activities and items of interest. Material comes from veterans themselves, local VFW Posts, American Legion Posts and information submitted from various sources.
