Small MS looks at becoming an in-district charter school story and photo

by Ann Fowler

Principal Amy Taylor gave a presentation about the proposal to change Clint Small Middle School into a Green/Tech charter school.

OAK HILL - The Clint Small Middle School Parent-Teacher Association hosted a meeting on Tuesday night, April 30, to offer information on current discussions about transforming the school into an in-district charter school for grades 6 through 12. Principal Amy

Taylor gave a presentation about the proposal.

Parents were told that all local students could continue to attend Small. The students would have a choice whether to continue their high school years there or switch to Bowie or Austin high school. And the proposal requires the support of 80 percent of Small parents and 80 percent of classroom teachers to move forward.

Small is a “Green-Tech” campus, offering classes in environmental studies and technology. Students have planted more than 300 native plant species around the campus.

And in the 2009-2010 school year, through Small’s MS Tech-Know program, students refurbished more than 300 computers that went to needy families in the Austin area.

But in the midst of the restoration, a group of artists, with the help of the Oak Hill community, created something completely new.

Austin Independent School District news

Voting underway for AISD bonds

by Bobbie Jean Sawyer

Early voting for the largest proposed bond in Austin Independent School District’s history kicked off Monday and while several parents and AISD staff members have sited the the $892 million package as welcome relief for schools suffering from delayed maintenance issues, others say the price tag is too high.

Don Zimmerman, founder of the Travis County Taxpayers Union, said the bond is unnecessary and only adds to an already steep tax burden.

“The Taxpayers Union’s argument is that today taxes are so high that people are being driven out of the city,” Zimmerman said. “What sense does it make to add one dollar to the tax bill when people are already being forced out of their homes? This bond is part of what’s making Travis county and Austin school district into a place where only rich people can afford to live.”

The district estimates that, if

passed, the bond package will increase tax rates by about 3.5 cents, approximately $70 per year for a home valued at $200,000 and approximately $178 per year for a business on a medium property value of approximately $509,385.

But Zimmerman says the ballot language omits crucial information by not indicating a maximum rate for taxpayers and he believes Austin residents should be concerned that the rate will far exceed what they’ve bargained for.

“The truth is, by law, the taxes can go up without limit as to rate or amount,” Zimmerman said.

Carolyn Merritt, tri-chair of the Citizens Bond Advisory Committee, points to the 2004 and 2008 bonds as indicators of a stable tax rate. The $519 million 2004 bond carried a tax rate increase of 4.6 cents, compared to the 3.6 cent tax hike for the $892 million bond.

“Those bonds are only issued as the projects move forward, so

AISD Board Briefs Recognitions: Graham Elementary School and Principal Blaine Helwig AISD’s Board of Trustees honored Graham Elementary School for being named a U.S. Department of Education 2012 Blue Ribbon School.

Principal Blaine Helwig also was recognized for receiving the Terrel H. Bell Award for Outstanding Leadership.

2012 National Board Certified Teachers The Board of Trustees recognized 32 teachers who have achieved certification through the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.

AISD now has 248 National Board Certified Teachers, more than any other school district in Texas.

Sixty-one of these teachers serve at Title I schools. The 2012 newly certified and renewed teachers for Oak Hill area schools are: Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders—Liz Schnautz; Austin High School—Abby Mandel; Bowie High School—Cindi Carroll and Shawna Kelso; Gorzycki Middle School— Patricia Lopinski and Lisa Mielke;

assuming everything in this one passed, we probably wouldn’t see any increase in our tax rate for six months to a year out. The money is only (issued) as the projects start and obviously everything won’t start at once,” Merritt said. “Based on the amount of money that has been approved by voters in the 2004 and 2008 bond, the district has done a great job of managing our finances and we are actually two cents under the approved tax increase.”

Zimmerman said he also has concerns that the May 11 election date doesn’t encourage a large voter turnout, creating an imbalance of representation at the polls.

“We allege that the district has sole power to decide when to put this on the ballot and they picked the worst turnout date that we might have in a decade and we think that is shameful. Whether you agree with the bonds or not, we hope that people get angry that they put this Continued on p. 26

POWER OF COMMUNITY

PEDERNALES ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE

by Roger White

In our somewhat slipshod efforts to maintain and beautify the old homestead, wifey and I recently marked off several great swaths of our mangy front yard, designating these areas for gardendom. We’d seen it done before. How hard could it be?

Hard, gentle readers. Very, very hard. For one thing, you can’t simply cordon off a patch of your yard and say “garden.” No. You have to chop this area to bits, dig every living thing out of it down to about Paleozoic level, lay down plastic and rocks and poisons strong enough to kill large livestock, and then wait. I’m not sure what the waiting is for, but if it is to be spent in dutiful prayer to the garden gods, then that’s probably where we failed.

Well, we chopped, dug, laid down, poisoned, and waited—and then diligently deposited our garden-plantsto-be. We watered and fertilized and mulched. We hauled enough rocks and mulch and potting soil in and out of our yard to create a neighborhood landfill. By the way, some mighty weird critters live about a foot down in your soil. And they don’t like you invading their terri-

CTRMA to present Oak Hill Parkway Project options

by Bobbie Jean Sawyer OAK HILL - The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority and TxDOT are providing further opportunity for residents to weigh in on design concepts for the Oak Hill Parkway Project, a potential redesign of the ‘Y’ intersection in Oak Hill.

This month the agencies will host a community workshop, open house and two online chats to share preliminary designs and gather feedback from community members.

The community workshop will be held Thursday, May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Oak Hill Methodist Church and will serve as a follow-up design meeting, said Melissa Hurst, senior communications and marketing specialist for the Mobility Authority.

Residents who’ve attended past workshops are encouraged to attend.

“We’ve been working with a smaller group to have them come in and help design and develop those alternatives, so we just wanted to have the opportunity to meet with

Mosquito prevention and West Nile video AUSTIN - Last summer, Austin and Travis County mirrored the state and nation experiencing a particularly active mosquito season.

Mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV) throughout our community. One hundred and fifty three people were diagnosed with the virus in Travis County and six people died.

Mosquitoes are present in Central Texas all year, but the population is largest and most active during the months of May through November.

The best way to address the threat posed by mosquitoes is through public information and education.

That’s why a new video, West Nile Watch has been produced by the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department and the City of Austin’s Channel 6. The video highlights the city’s mosquito surveillance program and emphasizes what residents can do to protect themselves. The video is available at http://youtu.be/f2b8el0498A Most people who are infected with WNV do not have any signs or symptoms, but if symptoms do develop seek medical attention.

WNV symptoms begin with fever, headache, tiredness, body aches, an

occasional skin rash (on the trunk of the body) and swollen lymph glands. While the illness can be as short as a few days, even healthy people have reported being sick for several weeks. Advanced age is by far the most significant risk factor for developing severe disease after infection. The risk of severe disease is greatest among people age 50 years and older.

Follow the 4 D’s to eliminate mosquito breeding areas and reduce your risk of disease: • Dusk & Dawn -Whenever possible, avoid prolonged outdoor activity at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active • Dress- Wear long-sleeved, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.

• DEET- Use mosquito repellent and carefully follow all label directions.

• Drain- Regularly check yards and neighborhoods for water-holding containers and empty them out. It only takes a teaspoon of water for mosquitoes to breed.

More information is available at http://www.austintexas.gov/department/vector-control and at http:// www.austintexas.gov/sites/default/ files/files/Health/Epidemiology/ wnv_1-9-13.pdf.

those folks ahead of the open house, show them the alternatives that we came up with, and give them a deeper explanation that you might not necessarily get at an open house about why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made,” Hurst said.

The workshop will provide attendees with a sneak peek of the designs that will be presented at an open house the following week on May 23 at 6 p.m. at Small Middle School.

Hurst said the open house event would be a come-and-go format,

similar to the open house held last November. There will be no formal presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to view design concepts, voice their opinion to TxDOT and Mobility Authority staff and submit feedback via surveys and at oakhillparkway.com. Along with other criteria, feedback gathered at the workshop and open house will be used to help the project team narrow design concepts as the project moves forward.

In addition to the in-person work-

shop and open house, community members will be able to view and discuss the same design concepts with the project team online through a live chat on oakhillparkway.com.

The chats will be held May 24 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and May 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

“We’re really looking forward to showing the design concepts that we’ve come up with to the folks that have been working with us all along,” Hurst said.

Springtime puts the City’s Animal Shelter at capacity

Community support needed Springtime is traditionally a busy time for animal shelters because the weather is perfect for breeding which leads to unwanted litters and abandoned pets at the Austin Animal Center and at surrounding shelters.

The Austin Animal Center is at capacity with no room for incoming dogs. The City wants to encourage the community to adopt a shelter dog and asking pet owners to ex-

haust all options before considering dropping an animal off at the City shelter.

Options might include finding a home with a family member, friend, co-worker or other rescue organizations, as well as advertising the pet for adoption to a responsible home for a small fee.

In hopes of encouraging additional adoptions, the Austin Animal Center is running a $20 Spring adoption

special right now on all ready-to-go dogs and cats. Spay or neuter surgery, a microchip and vaccinations are included in the reduced adoption fees – a value of more than $200.

Presently, the shelter has a high number of “At Risk” dogs; dogs that have minor to moderate medical or behavior issues that have prevented them from getting adopted. “We hope folks will consider whether they’re in a position right now to save a dog that has an issue that might cause other adopters to say “no.” We

know many of these dogs will make great pets with a willing family,” said Amber Rowland, Behavior Program Manager for Animal Services. “Anyone interested in considering one of these special dogs can simply ask one of our Adoption Counselors for an “At Risk List.”

Lastly, with the animal shelter being full, there is no room to house lost pets. To help reunite lost pets with their owners, the Austin Animal Center offers a free microchip and I.D. tag for all pets in Austin and

Travis County. Pet owners can visit the center between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily to get pets appropriately identified, so they can avoid the shelter system all together.

The adoption special will take place at both the Austin Animal Center, 7201 Levander Loop and at Town Lake Animal Center, 1156 W. Cesar Chavez. Both locations are open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

For more information check www. austinanimalcenter.org or call 3-1-1.

Leslie Answers — by Leslie Tourish, LPC

Anger management is a skill Dear Leslie, Maybe I shouldn’t blame my family for this, but I think I learned my anger problems from them. Growing up it was pretty common for mom and dad to have shouting matches, slam doors, and yell at us kids for “crimes”, big or small. I knew their behavior was wrong then, but here I am, a 42-year-old man and I’m doing the same thing—I explode when I get angry.

A few days ago I blew up at my co-worker because he wasn’t doing

his fair share of a project we’ve been working on for the past few months.

I found out he hadn’t completed a portion of the job that I needed. Immediately I felt he had disrespected me and was lazy. I shouted at him, and from his shocked expression, I knew I had over-stepped. Again.

This is part of my sickness, but at the time it actually felt good to let all my frustration out. However, after he explained what his understanding was of the deadlines, I calmed down and apologized. But the damage

has been done. He’s distant with me, (who can blame him?), and I’m avoiding him.

I hate that I do this. When I go off on these rages it’s almost as though I can hear my father’s voice instead of my own. Now I’m keeping myself very low-key at the office, but I feel as low as gum on someone’s shoe.

How do I keep my anger under wraps?

Signed, Seeing Red

advice Dear Red, Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, nailed it when he wrote several thousands years ago about the human condition of anger: “Anyone can become angry—that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way—that is not within everyone’s power and that is not easy.” He was right—it’s not easy. Anger is one of those universal human emotions we often grapple with and even may not want to admit to owning. But everyone gets angry.

In your family you often saw their emotional outbursts, so it became a learned way to handle stress. I

applaud you for your insight into how you may have learned this dysfunctional angry style, but please don’t be too hard on yourself if you haven’t been able to kick the raging habit through insight alone. This is a process, but your knowledge of how you hurt others and yourself is a valuable first step toward finding new ways of expressing your frustration in a more assertive style.

From your last outburst, you spoke of how you felt “disrespected” and how at the time you believed your colleague was “lazy”. Those are two examples of irrational, distorted thinking. You assumed he was Continued on next page

Leslie - Cont. disrespecting you when he was late with his deadline, so this opened up a wound that you weren’t important.

This followed closely on the heels of you jumping to conclusions that he was lazy. This demeaning label increased your contempt of your colleague, making him the bad object.

To complicate matters, you have in your brain a pattern now wired to escalate quickly down an automatic anger highway if you feel wounded or contemptuous. So, from zero to 60 in three seconds, you find yourself in this out-of-control state. All the apologies in the world won’t erase from others’ minds your actions

and words. You know full-well the destruction of your anger.

I suggest when you feel the warning signs of seeing red, such as your heart rate increasing, vision narrowing, furious thoughts churning up hurt feelings, then you toss up the penalty flag and stop. Remind yourself those are all symptoms of feeling flooded and sliding toward the tar-pit of rage. Tell yourself now is NOT the time to act. Walk away.

Take deep breaths. Go around the block. Count to ten. Still flooded?

Then keep on counting until your body drains the adrenaline away and you start to collect more rational thoughts. Writing your thoughts down on paper is a great tool to help you gain clarity. Go to whomever

Oak Hill Gazette Wednesday, July 8 2009... 1 it is who has angered you and say, “When you did (upsetting event), I felt (upsetting emotion). What I need from you is (your request).�

Using “I� statements are always safer than “you� statements. If you say, “You lazy, so-and-so! Why did you ignore my project deadline?� people generally have two ways to react to such statements—either with fear and withdrawing or their own brand of anger right back at you. Neither works toward solving a problem and building trust. Keep up the good work of learning about your anger triggers and creating better methods for cooling down and reframing your thoughts. Because as you know, regret is a bitter pill to swallow.

Car Review

2013 Chevrolet Sonic RS Turbo

By T. Q. Jones

This is one of our favorites among the newer cars, in large part because nearly everyone in the industry makes an equivalent. That means it’s easy to compare offerings from each manufacturer.

They are all available with just about the same equipment, from radios to powerplants, with a turbocharged engine available, usually a 1.4-liter or so, and everything else available in comparable accessories from performance to comfort offerings.

It’s essentially a kid’s car, even a “first car” for a high-school grad or a college-bound student. Our vehicle for the week carried a list price of $20,995 and a host of popular equipment. It had a six-speed manual transmission, though it’s available with an automatic and the same number of gears. As an “RS” model, it was equipped with a sport suspension and performance-tuned

shocks.

For all of that, it didn’t scream “performance car,” though this one was a bright red. The driver information center information included an oil-life monitoring system to help a young driver pay attention to maintenance.

It also had six months of General Motors “OnStar” service along with automatic crash response in case Mom and Dad aren’t used to the young driver being on his or her own yet, plus lots of air bags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control and heated outside mirrors.

There was Chevrolet’s Mylink, including voice recognition for phone. Naturally, a high-line sound system with satellite radio and steering wheel mounted controls.

There was some added appearance equipment, like 17-inch wheels and a roof-mounted rear spoiler.

Up front, it has a performance look to go along with the mild performance equipment that mostly

contributes to the stability of the Sonic. Lose the red paint and the Sonic RS can travel under the radar, so to speak.

The interior was very well T. Q. Jones done, carrying the sports-car motif to the seat trim and the very comfortable performance-inspired seats.

From the driver’s seat, the Sonic has all the attributes of a performance car, from the well-laid out instrument pack to the visibility out the side and rear windows, which brings up another point.

This was a “five-door” or a hatchback, if you prefer. We tend to prefer the five door design for it’s versatility, but depending on it’s specific design, it also usually offers better overall visibility, as was the case with the Sonic.

Gazette Automotive Guide

.

Driving the Sonic reminded us of the British sports cars of the early 1960s, though the Sonic has a great deal more power.

Driving the Sonic reminded us of the British sports cars of the early 1960s, though the Sonic has a great deal more power and probably doesn’t weigh a great deal more. That power doesn’t cost a lot more, either, as the EPA ratings for the Sonic turbo are 27 miles per gallon city and 34 mpg on the highway. Our old Austin-Healey Sprite did about 30 in town and 40 on the road, but we’d loved to have had the extra power that’s on tap with the Sonic, even if you only used it when you needed it.

We said just about every automaker these days offers an equivalent, so you know you have choices and a variety of approaches if you decide to look at any one of them, from buying the Sonic equivalent from the make of the car you are driving now, to choosing a manufacturer you might not have direct experience with until now. We tend to like Sonic, Mazda2 and Honda as well as the chance to try a new (to us) automaker and or dealer.

Gorzycki MS choir gets top ratings The Gorzycki MS choir, under the direction of Mr. Brad Heckler, competed in UIL Choir Contest on April 18 and 19 at the Hays Performing Arts Center. Each group performed three songs varying in difficulty for the concert portion, and each

group had to sight sing a song they had never seen before with only six minutes to practice.

A “1 rating� is superior, a “2 rating� is excellent, and a “3 rating� is okay.

The non-varsity girls choir and the varsity girls choir both received “1

ratings� from all six judges which means both groups received sweepstakes. The non-varsity boys choir received “1 ratings� in their concert portion with all “2 ratings� in the sight singing portion of contest.

This is the first year the Gorzycki MS Choir has had three groups compete at UIL Choir Contest.

Gazette Sports: Austin • Bowie • Crockett Westlake ends Austin High’s season

Student Athlete Spotlight sponsored by Oak Hill Body & Paint June Ussery

by Patrick Olson Four years of athletic endeavors at Austin High for June Ussery culminated with a first place finish at the District 15-5A track meet and a second place result at the area meet. “June is dedicated and hard-working,” girls’ track coach Jocelyn Satterwhite said.

“She is an all-around team player.”

Ussery threw the discus 108’3” to capture the gold in district and threw 101’ in a rainy area event.

Born in Houston, Ussery attended Oak Hill Elementary before enrolling at Legacy Oaks Continued on next page

Austin High lost 2-1 to Westlake (action above), and because of the loss and an Anderson High win the Maroons aren’t going to the playoffs. This was the last game of the season for the Austin High boys.

Bowie and Crockett earn trips to playoffs

by Patrick Olson The Bowie and Crockett baseball teams compete in bi-district playoff encounters this weekend. Led by Rudy Alvarez, the Bulldogs earned a fifteenth straight trip to the postseason and will face Stony Point in the first round. “The kids put a little pressure on themselves,” the skipper stated. “We ended up in a three-way tie for first.”

Lake Travis represents the top spot in District 15-5A with Bowie (18-9, 9-3) taking second place. The Cavaliers will tangle with McNeil while Westlake will represent the

third position versus Cedar Ridge.

Bowie faces a Tiger team led by senior pitcher Kiki Mendez who was a force at the plate in Stony Point’s 11-7 win over Pflugerville last Saturday.

“We have to play consistent defense and hopefully get some hits,” Alvarez added. “I always say ‘who makes the fewest errors will probably win’.”

Following a final regular season win over Reagan, Crockett (15-10, 10-2) ventures north to face Leander in the first round. “We’re working a lot on hitting,” Cougar catcher Daniel Lopez said after practice Tuesday. “We’re trying to keep our

hitting up as a team. We want to give the seniors a good goodbye.”

The veteran Lions are loaded with seniors and feature pitcher Patrick Glaze on the mound and outfielder Garrett Venner at the plate.

Bowie begins at Stony Point Thursday at 7 p.m. with game two at Burger on Friday at 7 p.m. If necessary, game three will be at Burger on Saturday at a time to be determined. Crockett starts at Leander on Thursday at 7 p.m. and will be the host team Friday at Garrison at 7 p.m. If necessary game three will be at Leander at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

by Patrick Olson Pitching performances from Daryn Prince-Muniz helped the Crockett baseball team earn a trip to the playoffs. “Daryn has become a very consistent pitcher,” Cougar coach Miguel Trevino added. “He is very unselfish and is extremely coachable— hard to replace a kid like him.”

Prince-Muniz will lead the brown and gold into postseason battle with Leander this weekend.

A native of Austin, Daryn attended Barton Hills Elementary before advancing to O’Henry Middle School where he also played football. He played little league in the South Austin Op-

Bowie girls get bi-district win

by Patrick Olson

The Lady Dawgs dealt Stony Point their tenth loss of the season with a 5-2 bi-district victory over the Lady Tigers in the first round of the Class 5A softball postseason.

“We all worked together as a team,” Bianca Van Vlerah said. “We all wanted the same goal of getting to the next round of the playoffs.”

Bowie must now meet Klein Collins at a neutral site in LaGrange. First pitch in Friday’s area battle will be thrown at 7 p.m.

Bre Sepeda, Ashli Lotz and Jayme

Perez all scored for Bowie in the first inning versus Stony Point starting pitcher Emily Kirk. Aspen Auger led off the third inning with a single and later scored on a base hit by McKenzie Cain. A hit by Sam Flores plated Cain and put the Dawgs in front 5-0. Starting pitcher Perez surrendered a single and a double to open the game but struck out the Tiger clean-up hitter Kirk to end the inning.

Stony Point banged out a dozen hits in the contest, but solid defensive work by the Bowie infield, including

Auger on the corner at third, helped keep the Tigers scoreless until the seventh inning. Perez struck out six and did not walk a batter. The Dawgs now face a formidable foe in District 14-5A third place finisher Collins after the Lady Tigers defeated Bryan 2-1 last Friday. Adriana Farris and December Rivers have each hit four home runs for Collins and pitcher Tayler Atkinson earned 17 wins on the season.

June Ussery for middle school. She began playing volleyball as a freshman and sophomore at Austin High until step-father Rick Roberson encouraged June to pursue field event competition for the remainder of her high school career. “He thought I would be good at it,” said June. To improve her skill at the sport, Ussery enlisted the assistance of private coach James Parman. “He taught me everything I needed to know through both seasons,” Ussery added.

The younger of two children born to Rick and Carol Roberson, June has also been active in choir and theatre at Austin High. Her older brother Dale played football at Regents.

Individual studies instructor Laura

Luddy is June’s favorite teacher.

“She’s always there for me,” Ussery noted. “She has taught me so much over my four years.” Ussery was also chosen for the Austin Youth Council.

Following graduation, June will attend Santa Fe University of Art & Design to pursue a bachelor’s degree in photography and minor in business. She offers important advice for younger pupils aspiring to compete in varsity athletics at the high school level. “If you put hard work into it and try with everything you’ve got, anything is possible,” she said. “I’m religious and would like to say God gave me the gift to do what I do. I honestly just put effort into it. He gave me the strength to do as well as I did.”

Daryn Prince-Muniz instructor Mr. McCoy is Daryn’s favorite teacher at Crockett. “He helps me out a lot when I need it,” the starting pitcher stated.

Drawing confidence for the playoffs, Prince-Muniz looked back at an earlier game versus district champion McCallum. “We didn’t win but I The Bowie softball team is Bi-District co-champion after a big win over Stony Point.

Lady Maroons lose in bi-district

by Patrick Olson With a single tally in the fourth frame and a home run in the fifth inning, Round Rock dealt Austin High a 2-1 bi-district defeat Friday night at Westwood High School.

Warrior starting pitcher Sara Davison allowed only one Lady Maroon hit in a complete game effort. Round Rock moves into the area round to face Atascocita.

Shortstop Mariah Garcia scored

Austin’s only run on a well hit ball

by Krystal Requejo. Garcia showcased outstanding defensive talent in the game, scooping up hard hit balls into the infield by the Warrior batters. Conversely, Round Rock third baseman Jackie Raymond consistently thwarted Maroon offensive rallies with phenomenal plays on the corner.

Maroon right fielder Angel Sustaita made a terrific defensive play in the

sixth inning keeping the Warriors runners on base with Garcia subsequently initiating a double play to terminate a Round Rock rally.

Davison struck out the first two batters in the seventh inning and coaxed Requejo into a first pitch infield ground out to complete the contest. Austin High returns all but departing senior Taylor Lemons for the 2014 campaign.

Lady Cougars bow out of playoffs

The first two batters scored in the third inning for the home team on Saturday as the Mustangs prevailed 2-1 and will now face Lockhart in the second round of the playoffs.

Crockett extended the lead in the fifth frame with Sara Sanders scoring

following a single to left field by Maldonado. Marble Falls threatened in the seventh plating a pair of runs before Crockett centerfielder Jacey Wright snagged the final out on a Mustang fly ball to force a third game. Sanders scattered nine hits on the mound for the brown and gold.

Enrollment opens for art camps Young bikers raise funds for hospital

Last fall, Denise Dews relocated her Sacred Arts Studio and Gallery from Louisiana to the heart of Oak Hill and now southwest Austinites can get hands-on art instruction in a variety of media from the former Caddo Parish Art Educator of the Year.

“I’m so proud to bring my artistic expertise to this area,” says Dews, whose experience spans more than 20 years. “It is a privilege to work with young artists, and see them learn and grow through the wonder of artistic expression.”

With summer just around the corner, Sacred Arts Studio is now enrolling for its Summer Art Camps.

Week-long camps begin June 10, and

Ms. Erika and Ms. Amy’s class of two and three-year-olds at Child’s Way Creative Learning Center get set to start their Bike-a-thon fundraiser. Child’s Way holds the Bike-a-thon every year to raise money for Dell Children’s Hospital.

Child’s Way, a Texas Rising Star Preschool located at the Y in Oak Hill, has been educating young Oak Hill students for the past 18 years. They are currently enrolling for summer camp sessions and for the fall semester.

Starting this fall, Childs Way

will be offering extended hours options for families beginning at 7 am and ending at 6 pm. More information about the programs offered at Child’s Way can be found on their website at www. childsway.com.

for Fashion; American Girl Doll Art; and Super Heroes and Heroines, to name a few.

Dews is keeping tuition affordable for her first season of camps in Austin. Cost for each camp is only $135, and includes all supplies and

a healthy snack. Class sizes will be kept small to allow for a lot of individualized attention. Camps are offered for ages 4-7 and 8-12.

“We will bring an unforgettable, enriching art experience to your child this summer,”says Dews.

Sacred Arts Studio is conveniently located on W. William Cannon at Escarpment. To register and for more information, call Denise Dews at: (512) 584-8061or visit the website at www.sacredartsstudioandgallery. com.

Small MS looks at becoming an in-district charter school Continued from p. 1

Taylor said students who thrive in the Green and/or Tech programs find few local high school electives to foster those interests.

The principal added that advanced planning with a quality master schedule—which combines qualified teachers with students’ elective choices—has been a challenge because a significant number of students enroll after schedules have been made.

Said Taylor: “When I know … as late as June, who my kids are coming in August, I can hire the best teachers, I can make sure there’s elective seats, I can make sure the class size is right and we’re ready to go in August. But [currently] as of August and even September 1, kids are still walking in my door—it overcrowds classrooms. Kids don’t get their elective choices. We’re not able to do academic teaming.”

Academic teaming groups students with a core team of teachers to meet the needs of the middle school student. The process is designed to promote belonging within the group and increase student enthusiasm.

The driving factors for exploring an in-district charter include the current lack of Green and Tech elective offerings in high school and

the ability to have advance notice to build a quality master schedule.

Other driving factors are: • Expansion of Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-Blended Learning (currently in 8th grade) at middle school and high school • Flexibility in sequencing of AISD Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) with creation of Interdisciplinary Units 6-8 and 9-12 • Expansion of Small’s Innovation Lab (iLab) (Gifted and Talented services) for high school Taylor said a campus-initiated in-district charter would support student choice, comply with all federal and state laws, and would be operated under the legal auspices of the school board.

AISD Trustee Robert Schneider attended the meeting. He said any change would require community support. He told the Gazette: “Personally, I like the idea of a 6-12 school with some specialized focus.

Over a third of the kids that end up at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy, which is housed at LBJ High School, come from ZIP codes in Southwest Austin. If there were a focused academy of some kind in South, or Southwest Austin, it might offer an opportunity for some of the kids that go to LASA to not Call toll-free: 1-888-773-1664

have to trek to LBJ every school day or perhaps provide an opportunity for kids that do not want to make the trip to LBJ but would like to do something similar without traveling so far from home.”

Taylor told the group that as an in-district charter, Small would remain a comprehensive middle school, offering fine arts and athletics. She said, “Our arts here at Small are some of the strongest of the district. Our athletic programs, some of the strongest. None of that will change. Our proposal...maintains the middle school comprehensive model.”

As an in-district charter school, teachers will continue to receive AISD benefits. Neighborhood children will continue to be accepted.

They do not have to take the Green or Tech electives.

Taylor said currently “kids are in and out of the tech [classes]. We have a certain group of kids who want to stick with that path because that’s their thing. The arts may not be their thing. Athletics may not be their thing. Green and/or Tech might be.”

Addressing concerns of combining middle school and high school populations, Taylor said high school students would likely have different start and end times, with separate learning environments from the younger students. In fact, with parent approval, high school students

Trustee Robert Schneider may serve as positive mentors to the middle school students.

No decisions have been made about enrollment sizes, high school course offerings, facility expansion or funding.

In December 2012, AISD cancelled an experimental partnership between AISD and IDEA charter at Allan Elementary. The program was designed to target and help students who would attend Eastside Memorial High School, which has struggled to meet state academic standards.

However, community members did not support the experiment and voted in board members who then cancelled it.

At that same board meeting, an in-district charter school was approved for Travis Heights Elementary, an idea under consideration for three years. It had the support of the AISD employee association and more than 90 percent of parents and classroom teachers.

Taylor said advantages of becoming an in-district charter for middle school students who want to continue to a vertical team high school at Austin or Bowie include: • Autonomy in 6-8 curriculum

sequencing with a focus on interdisciplinary units • PBL-Blended learning model expansion to 6th and 7th grade levels with a 1:1 technology initiative (with grant funding) • High school credits offered in middle school for advanced students (i.e. Foreign Language starting in 6th grade and Biology in 8th grade) • Reinstatement of Academic Teaming (MS Philosophy) with advanced notice of student enrollment • Alternative food services would allow for organic/healthier alternatives to the AISD Food Services currently offered. Food from the Small MS Gardens could be incorporated into the food offerings.

Another community meeting is scheduled for May 22. The deadline for the petition signed by 80 percent of both Small parents and classroom teachers is October 31. The AISD Board of Directors would then have to agree to the proposal by February 20, 2014, and then be approved by the Texas Education Agency in order to start the program for the 2014/2015 school year.

If the program is approved, a 9th grade class would be approved for the 2015-2016 school year, adding 10th grade in 2016, 11th in 2017 and 12th in 2018.

“The Future of Small MS” Committee meets every Wednesday at Small from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Room 112. The public is invited to attend.

The next Community Meeting will be on May 22 at 5:30 pm in the Clint Small Middle School library. The school is located at 4801 Monterey Oaks Boulevard.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Phoenixâ&#x20AC;? will rise in dedication ceremony Continued from p. 1 crafted ceramic tiles created and designed by community members, students and members of the local police and fire departments will be unveiled Sunday, May 5 at a 2 p.m. dedication ceremony at Windmill Run Park.

Kathy Morgan, an Oak Hill resident and one of the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead artists, said Mayor Lee Leffingwell

will be on hand to dedicate the wall.

Other speakers will include first responders from the Travis County police and fire departments, Wanda Montemayor, a lead artist and art therapist, and Carol Cespedes, an Oak Hill resident whose home was rebuilt with the help of neighbors.

Kathy Morgan will speak about the projectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history and how the wall was created. Austin-based funk band The Bellmen will provide

entertainment.

Morgan said creating the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Phoenixâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; has been a healing process for the neighborhood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This wall has been a type of therapy for a lot of us,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an undercurrent of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what do we do now?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing this work for so long. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been two years since the fire, rebuilding and then building this handcrafted piece of art.â&#x20AC;?

Morgan said the mosaic is already drawing attention, even in its unfinished state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really awesome is all the people who come into the park and stop, looking amazed and really showing appreciation,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already a revered piece of art.

People come everyday. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people pull into the parking lot to take a peek at it and drive away.â&#x20AC;?

Morgan said she and fellow lead artists Wanda Montemayor, Connie Justice, Lilly Henric, Amy Harper, Amber Kubik, Matthew Marinari, Ana Borne and Jim Berry view the wall as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;gift to the neighborhood from the neighbors.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a concrete example of what a small group of dedicated people can do,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fire was a great tragedy; this is a great building block.â&#x20AC;?

Morgan said she believes the dedication ceremony will serve as a celebration of Oak Hill residentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

May 2-May 15, 2013 ... 23 perseverance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last time we all came together was kind of a sad, reverent day. I think this day is different because it represents moving forward and a sense of achievement and pride and growth and awesome relationships.â&#x20AC;?

Those relationships have been the most rewarding part of long hours of tiring work, Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a solid group of neighbors now. It feels like family. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked beside each other in really hot, really cold and rainy work conditions,â&#x20AC;? Morgan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teamwork in the aftermath of the fire translates well into the teamwork of creating this handcrafted, wonderful piece of art.â&#x20AC;?

Austin Independent School District news

Voting underway for AISD bonds Continued from p. 3 deliberately on a date when nobody shows up,” Zimmerman said. “A tiny, tiny, tiny turnout maximizes the special interest vote.”

Nan Clayton, former AISD board of trustees president and current member of the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee, said the May date was chosen because the November ballot was already overcrowded with issues such as Proposition 1, which sought the approval of a University of Texas medical school and occupied the majority of public consciousness.

“Actually by going in May people

are able to get a better picture of what this bond issue is about because it isn’t on the ballot with so many other things,” Clayton said. “As far as public information, I think the school district has done a very good job on their website, where every school is listed with everything that’s to be done.”

Opponents of the bond argue that AISD should use the $230 million in “approved but unused” dollars, money granted to the district from past bonds, rather than calling on taxpayers for additional funding.

“If you have $230 million of bond

money that you can borrow, why are you rushing to the voters to slip in another $890 million when nobody is voting? There’s no emergency that justifies rushing this thing to the voters,” Zimmerman said. “It hasn’t been properly vetted. There’s no time to understand what’s in it.”

But Merritt said the $230 million is part of voter-approved bond money, which can only be used for voter-approved items.

“The contingency fund is not just this huge pot of money that you can go pulling from just for anything you want to spend it on,” Merritt said.

Bond money for projects that cost less than estimated is set aside in a contingency fund to cover cost overruns, but contingency money can’t be touched until every voter-approved item has been completed, Merritt said.

Clayton said the bond is the district’s attempt to catch up on long overdue maintenance issues, effectively saving taxpayers from having to fund the construction of more new schools in the future.

“They have millions, if not a billion or more invested in (about 120) sites in the school district and this bond issue is primarily replacement and updates to existing buildings,” Clayton said. “This is an attempt to preserve their investment. We don’t want to take down schools because we’ve allowed them to deteriorate so that they can no longer be used. A new school is more expensive than repairing an old school in most instances.”

Merritt said AISD’s greatest challenge is a lack of school funding, due to the “Robin Hood” program, the state system for funding public schools, which requires property-wealthy districts to send a portion of their local tax revenue to the state to be redistributed to property-poor districts. According to the AISD website, the school district has shelled out $1.3 billion in recapture

payments.

“The school funding is ridiculous,” Merritt said. “If we didn’t have to give that amount of money away every year, I personally don’t believe we’d have to go out after these big bonds. If we had adequate funding for our schools so that we could do maintenance then we would be in a much better situation.”

Merritt said about 80 percent of AISD’s maintenance and operations budget goes to operations.

“I’ve always said our teachers are much more important than our buildings. However, if we let our buildings get into such a bad state that it prohibits the teachers from teaching adequately, then we’ve got a big problem. We don’t have enough money to do the maintenance that needs to happen regularly,” Merritt said. “That’s a school finance issue that can’t be fixed by AISD.” Early voting ends May 7 and election day is May 11.

St. Michael’s Dedicates new Joan Frost Practice Facility Members of the St. Michael’s community gathered on a glorious spring evening this week to honor and thank St. Michael’s Catholic Academy parent and leader Joan Frost as we dedicated the new practice facility in her name. Father Jim McDonough opened the ceremony with a special blessing; remarks followed from Athletic Director Brian Moreland, Interim Principal Dr. Michael Volonnino and Joan; and Coach Moreland and Coach Calvin Schiraldi unveiled the building dedication plaques.

As Coach Moreland eloquently shared, during over 12 years of servant leadership to St. Michael’s, Joan has championed multiple activities and causes on behalf of the SMCA Booster Club and school.

She has worked tirelessly, leaving each school program she touches better than she found it. Among her various roles, Joan served for many years as the enthusiastic Booster

Club Membership Chair, passionately reminding us why each family’s participation is critical and raising generous sums for facility and other program improvements. She has also been in charge of publication of the Athletic Program and served as team parent for a variety of sports.

Multiple baseball and basketball teams (whether or not her child was on the team) can thank her for keeping record books over the years. Seldom does she miss a Booster Club gathering, where she can often be heard leading us in thoughtful prayer. Joan is the constant, friendly face that has for years greeted families and students by name and with hugs at the gate to home varsity football games. She loves us, and we love her.

Joan and her husband, Ted, proudly shepherded four children through St. Michael’s and prepare to graduate their youngest, Adam, this June as a member of SMCA’s Class of 2013.

Robert, SMCA 2007 and West Point 2011, currently serves in Afghanistan as First Lieutenant in the United States Army; Issac, SMCA 2009, attends and is preparing to graduate this year from Texas A&M; and Rita, SMCA 2010, attends The College of Wooster with expectations to graduate in 2014.

Dr. Volonnino reminded us that the new building will serve as a legacy to Joan and her family, prompting us to share and retell the story of her example and leadership for years

to come. Joan gave us all a giggle when asked whether she would like to share a few remarks, she replied: “Rarely am I without words!” From the heart, she expressed her gratitude and continued dedication to St. Michael’s, telling us: “If ever there was a village, THIS is one of the best villages.” True to form, Joan graciously shared the evening’s honor by asking for a building plaque that reads: “In recognition of all SMCA Booster Club Members, who have generously given their time, talent,

She also requested and saw the unveiling of a plaque indicating that the building stands “In Honor of Saint Sebastian,” the Patron Saint of Athletes.

We encourage all of you to visit the new building soon, which is located near the Crusader Baseball stadium, and share in the plaque’s prayer: “As St. Sebastian clearly was, may our athletes always be as strong in their faith.”
