Residents sound off on possible Oak Hill district

by Bobbie Jean Sawyer OAK HILL - The official boundaries of Oak Hill—there never were any, until recent years when the city held hearings and created the Oak Hill Neighborhood Plan—has been a long-debated subject in the southwest area and a major focus of the Aug. 21 Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC) public hearing. At the meeting, held at the Precinct 3 offices, residents urged commission members not to split communities along district lines.

The ICRC is a fourteen-member group working to draw a map of ten single-member City Council districts as ordered by the passage of Proposition 3, a City Charter amendment calling for more evenly

distributed City Council geographical representation. The public hearing was the first in a series of public hearings dedicated to determining potential districts in Precinct 3.

Stefan Haag, a member of the ICRC who lives near Circle C, said the request to keep communities together has been a common thread throughout the process.

“I think what we’ve learned at each of them is how important their neighborhoods are and how they want to keep them together,” Haag said.

Haag said the commission’s ultimate goal will be completed when all communities in Austin are served by representatives who are able to understand the challenges within See RESIDENTS on page 22

OAK HILL - TxDOT is developing a new alternative concept for the Oak Hill Parkway project. The concept is being constructed through meetings with core members of Fix 290, a grassroots community coalition proposing an environmentally responsible alternative with a minimal concrete footprint.

In a recent press release, Central

Texas Regional Mobility Authority (Mobility Authority) community outreach manager Melissa Hurst said the finalized concept will be presented along with the other alternatives during an open house in the fall.

Fix 290 member Carol Cespedes said the meetings were a collaborative effort between Fix 290 and See TXDOT on page 17

Oak Hill Neighborhood Planning Contact Team to hold elections

by Bobbie Jean Sawyer

The Oak Hill Neighborhood Planning Contact Team (OHNPCT) will hold its annual board member election on September 25. The OHNPCT will elect eight board members.

Tom Thayer, an OHNPCT board member who’s been a member since its inception, said the organization, made up of 83 general members and 16 board members, serves as the caretaker of the Oak Hill Neighborhood Plan.

“The main way that we manifest that is through proposed land use changes and decisions on proposed land use changes. When a property owner wants to change their use that’s listed on the future land use map (FLUM), which was part of the neighborhood plan, they come to us and we give them a recommendation as to whether or not we support the land use change, don’t support the land use change or suggest an alternative,” Thayer said.

“It’s a way to see what property owners are planning for their properties and what’s coming to the area, and also to have a say—and if a neighbor or business or any Oak Hill resident wants to have a say—in what the

future land use is of a certain part of Oak Hill,” Thayer said.

Board members, who are elected by the Contact Team’s general members, serve two-year terms and are responsible for making land use decisions. Elections are staggered so that eight board members are up for re-election each year.

Thayer said it’s important that the OHNPCT is made up of individuals from a variety of backgrounds.

“We try to have some people from the eastern part of Oak Hill and some people from the western part,” Thayer said. “We want to have neighborhood homeowners, business owners and other non-resident property owners. We want to have kind of a diverse group of people on there.”

Board member Rick Perkins said the Contact Team can provide valuable guidance to neighborhoods concerned about zoning issues in their community.

“The OHNPCT enables neighborhoods to receive assistance and support in learning about the zoning change system and how they can participate,” Perkins said. “The (OHNPCT) is like the neighbors’ first line of support in dealing with zoning changes.” The City has the last say, but Perkins said, “NPCT hears the arguments and attempts to ‘protect’ the neighborhood plan. The NPCT may choose to send a letter of support to the Planning Commission or recommend changes to an application.”

Thayer said the Contact Team

“The OHNPCT enables neighborhoods to receive assistance and support in learning about the zoning change system and how they can participate. The (OHNPCT) is like the neighbors’ first line of support in dealing with zoning changes.” - Rick Perkins provides a forum for community members and potential developers to hash out ideas and opinions before taking an issue to City Council.

“The best thing that’s happened has been when we’ve had a property owner come to us (when) maybe

there’s a neighborhood or other residents that are concerned about a land use change, and the times that we’ve been able to bring the two sides together and forge a compromise,” Thayer said. “That’s been the most satisfying.”

Watching my oldest daughter stride so smartly into her senior year of high school, and my youngest girl, a sophomore, confidently follow in her steps, I found myself struck recently with a peculiar mix of great pride and vague twinges of guilt. It took me some soul-searching and serious contemplation—and serious contemplation comes grindingly hard for me these days—to determine the root of my emotional mélange, but I think I figured it out: I miss my little girls. And I feel guilty for missing them because they’re not even gone!

But in a way, they are.

Somewhere along the line, at some moment in time among those precious years, my little girls grew up.

Somewhere between those nights reading them Goodnight Moon while they settled to sleep in their Winnie-the-Pooh footsies and then suddenly watching them, dressed so beautifully, walk out the door with their boyfriends, my babies became young women. How did that happen?

The Word from Oak Hill Mike Jasper The word from Oak Hill is... newspapers.

My buddy Scott from Atlanta is in town. Scott and I used to work for a company that published computer magazines, real ones, before the Internet, back in the wild and wooly days of the ‘90s when computers were divided into mainframes, work stations, and PCs. Scott was editor in chief of two or three computer magazines, and I was copy editor of Scott’s two ‘zines and several more at the now-defunct company whose name escapes me.

We didn’t work together for long, and both of us moved on to bigger and better things. I became a prominent Austin musician (unfortunately, only prominent among other Austin musicians). And Scott went on to be a copy editor for the Times. Yes, the NY Times, the real one. The last paper standing, I bet.

He also became one of the casualties of the Internet, when the NY Times initiated massive layoffs, as all newspapers eventually did. And where did newspapers start with the layoffs? Not with the ad salespeople (except for classifieds, thank you Craig’s List) but with copy editors.

The Word from Oak Hill com, just bought the Washington Post—arguably the second most prestigious paper in the US (some would claim the first) for $270 million.

I guess my question really is—are newspapers back? t t t Saw a flyer near the Wells Fargo Bank at the Y. Some people lost their bird. Looked like a parrot to me. Sure hope it’s not the parrot that belongs to the Parrot Lady of Scenic Brook Drive.

I doubt it. If the parrot isn’t willing to fly off her shoulder to freedom and sovereignty, why would he bolt the cage? Besides, does that parrot even have a cage?

Beats the hell out of me.

One more question. How long do you think it takes before people realize that they can email me at mail@ mikejasper.com when they want to get the word out about their pets?

Seriously, the Oak Hill Gazette has never charged anybody a cent to publicize a lost pet. So email us or call us at 512-301-0123. t t t Speaking of lost animals, a little girl lost her prized African tortoise, a beautiful specimen with contrasting black and white markings on his shell.

Car Review

2014 Kia Sorento SX LTD

By T. Q. Jones

The new 2014 Kia Sorento LTD is drawing a lot of (deserved) attention as kind of a minivan on an SUV platform that can hold seven people (though it helps if most of them are relatively small; say the second string of the neighborhood soccer team.)

The new hot thing (well, one of them, anyway) in the auto world is the seven-passenger car, (probably as a result of all the new soccer moms and dads.) All of a sudden seating for at least six players plus the driver is almost mandatory. This new Sorento has seven seats, but the rear two are still better used for soccer equipment, not soccer players.

We actually noticed something else about the new Kia: how well it and other current vehicles have answered the problem posed by the Explorer and other vehicles with supposed mechanical shortcomings. (A friend of ours blew a tire on her Mercury and was only annoyed because she had

to call her husband to come change the blown tire. No wreck, no drama, no injuries and no news headlines.)

Most new cars have an anti-locking brake system and electronic stability control and traction control; in other words, things that make the driver a better driver.

But it reminded us that, back in the day, Ford Motor Company was having problems with the big Lincoln town car. It seems the drum brakes were overheating and fading when they were called on to stop the car after some time on the road. Ford looked at everything they could and couldn’t find a reason for the brakes to fade, so they took a long look at the drivers, mostly older folks who could afford to drive the big Lincolns.

What they supposedly found was that many of those older drivers of the big cars tended to drive with one foot resting on the brake, maybe for safety, maybe just as a kind of talisman. But driving like that tended to heat the brakes up, and the old drum brakes

didn’t work too well when you really needed them and they were hot. Some might think the solution to the problem would be to try and educate the drivers.

T. Q. Jones But Ford probably knew that was a lost cause, and just put a heavier return spring on the brakes so it would take more pressure on the pedal to get the brakes hot.

That was pretty far back, you understand, and we had yet to go through things like the Ford Explorer fiasco with various auto makers (just about all of them, come to think about it) being charged with building cars that just accelerated on their own. The “fix” for that was to put a lockout on all cars with automatic transmissions that kept, excuse me, that keeps the car from starting unless the shifter is in park.

Gazette Automotive Guide

.

The Kia Sorento is a good ride with plenty of power and all the inside gadgets everyone wants.

Still, the die was cast, and the solution to problems with cars is always to adjust the car, not the driver. Just take a look at what comes on the new Sorento (and a number of other cars on the market): For power, a modern 3.3-liter DOHC V6 with variable valve timing, a six speed automatic transmission, independent front and rear suspension, all wheel drive and a locking center differential. Most vehicles on the market have multiple air bags and anti-locking brakes, along with electronic stability control. Despite the engine size, the Sorento is rated

St. Michael’s Catholic Academy Need Crusaders defeat the San Antonio A COMPUTER GUY? • Over 30 Years Experience Christian Lions 32 to 24 The St. Michael’s Crusaders showed heart in staging a strong second-half comeback victory over visiting San Antonio Christian Friday night to prevail 32 to 24. Head Coach Darrell Pantalone and his staff made the right moves at halftime as the focus, intensity and execution of the squad increased significantly as the game progressed—particularly, on the offensive side of the ball.

Both offenses were a little rusty early in this season opener, however the SMCA defense generally played well. For SMCA, deep snapper Zach DeVries had a bone-crushing tackle on a punt. Defensive linemen, Sam Mancill, and Emile Gilbeau made several nice tackles along with linebacker Regan Hahn. Safety Chris Lewis intercepted two SAC passes and defensive end Malcolm Postell was able to get a strong pass rush from his defensive end position.

Facing a 3–10 deficit at halftime, SMCA began to take control. After a great defensive stop to start the 3rd quarter, the offense started clicking. SMCA running back Postell exploded 70 yards down the SMCA sideline to the SAC two yard line. From there Carlton connected with receiver John Schneider for the first SMCA touchdown of the 2013

season. Carlton then scored a nifty 2-point conversion pushing SMCA to an 11–10 lead.

After a fumble gave SAC a short field, which they utilized to score a TD and regain the lead, the Crusaders responded quickly. Jameson Houston has a kickoff return of over 40 yards. Regan Hahn, Postell and Carlton all ran the ball effectively while receivers Sean Sliney and Schneider made several catches in the drive. The 55-yard drive culminated with a beautiful 18-yard TD catch in the back corner of the end zone by Sliney. The resulting PAT was no good after being partially blocked so the score remained knotted at 17.

SAC is a strong team with a history of deep playoff runs in TAPPS 4A so they did not go quietly. Using a good kick return they mounted a drive of their own to take a 24–17 lead on the first play of the 4th quarter. However, the St. Michael’s Crusaders have their own tradition in the largest TAPPS Division, class 5A; winning their district title for five consecutive years and making the State Semi-Finals last season.

The Crusaders would not be denied the win as SMCA defenders Chris Lewis and Zach DeVries combined

to cause and recover a muffed punt.

Riding the momentum of this SAC turnover, the offense promptly gained yardage in big chunks and Carlton cashed in for a SMCA touchdown on a zone-read QB keeper inside the far pylon. The quarterback was not done as he literally flipped into the end zone again for a 2-point conversion on the next play. SMCA took a 25–24 lead which it would not relinquish.

Gazette Sports: Austin • Bowie • Crockett AustinHighMaroons lose big to Warriors

by Patrick Olson

Gazette:Emmeline R. Aguirre

Quarterback Austin Eschenburg (#15) ran the Bowie offense efficiently behind blocking by #69 Keith McAlonan in the Bulldogs’ 42 to 14 win.

Bowie crushes Pflugerville

by Patrick Olson With Austin Eschenburg posting a 131.6 quarterback rating and the Bulldog ground game averaging 6.9 yards per carry, Bowie disposed of Pflugerville 42-14 Friday evening at Burger Stadium. “I was pleased with the effort,” Bowie coach Jeff Albes said afterward. “Our offense looked good. Pflugerville is an athletic team.” Bowie hits the road Thursday to tangle with Westwood, while Pflugerville hosts Austin High on Friday.

Cole Myers initiated the scoring for Bowie with a 31-yard touchdown run, and Connor Flanigan converted the extra point. Jonathan Wallace countered with a rushing touchdown and Pflugerville tied

the game 7-7 with 33.3 seconds remaining in the first period. On the subsequent return, Steve Johnson waited patiently for his blockers to clear a path before darting to the 48-yard line.

Eschenburg hit Johnson with productive passes to both the left and right perimeter, before the senior signal caller crossed the goal line on the first play of the second quarter.

“I thought we came out ready to go,” stated the Bowie quarterback.

“We wanted it more than they did.”

Following a fumble recovery by Pedro Martinez, Johnson caught another pass and flew down the left sideline for a touchdown with eleven minutes left until halftime.

A prized recruit for the University of Houston Cougars guided Westwood past Austin High 42-13 Friday night at House Park. At 6’3’ 234 lbs., pro-style quarterback Bear Fenimore tossed three touchdowns and connected on all but four of his throws. The Maroons must now shift gears to defend the non-stop ground game of Pflugerville, while Westwood hosts Bowie Thursday evening at Kelly Reeves Stadium off Parmer Lane.

The Warriors struck first with a long pass from Fenimore to Travis Dale. Mason Bartek extended the visitor’s lead with a short rushing score. Deon Barnes, featured as the Maroons’ primary rusher, crossed the goal line on a physical run late in the first quarter. Junior Finn Hockey then split the uprights to slice the Warrior advantage in half. Mason Choate worked at both running back and defensive end for Austin High.

Westwood added four more touch-

by Patrick Olson The Crockett Cougars overcame a sluggish start Friday, but David Lowery’s consistent playmaking ability for the Eagles helped Akins defeat Crockett 26-23 at Burger Stadium. “This is our opening test to see where we are,” said Crockett coach John Waugh.

“We’ve got things to improve on and if we get those things fixed, we’ll be a formidable team.”

Crockett travels south to take on Lockhart Friday, while Akins hosts McCallum at Burger.

Led by pursuing linebacker Seth Riojas, the Crockett defense forced a punt to open the game, but the brown and gold offense

The Westwood defense was constantly in the face of the Austin High offense.

promptly lost a fumble at midfield. Lowery glided through an opening created by the Eagle right tackle and rushed for a 45yard touchdown to open scoring in the contest. The Akins defense added a safety, and an interception by Lowery at linebacker, before a lengthy scoring reception put the Eagles on top 18-0.

Behind linemen Zayvian Camaco, Adrian Davila, Javier Morales, Nathan Cardenas and Sean Freeman, the Cougar skill position players had difficulty establishing offensive production, until quarterback Zach Ochoa connected with receiver Nikko Continued on page 27

Rushing for Bowie is Cole Myers, #3 (he scored the first touchdown for the Bulldogs).

Bowie defenders #8 Preston Oliver and #32 Chris Alanis shut down the vaunted Panther ground attack with #80 Nick Marroquin and #51 Alexander Curtis also contributing.

After A.J. Lionberger recorded a sack, Pflugerville threw an incomplete pass in the end zone on fourth down instead of opting for a short field goal attempt. Eschenburg located Jake Walton for three receptions on the next Bowie possession, including a scoring strike over the middle. Bowie led 28-7 at intermission.

Myers blasted through the middle of the Panther defense for an additional rushing score in the third period. Tyler Walker picked off a Pflugerville pass before Eschenburg provided insurance with a short scoring plunge late in the game. A comfortable lead enabled backup quarterback Preston Wheeler to see extensive action. “He did a great job and led the team well while he was in,” Bowie co-offensive coordinator Ty Branyon noted. “He is an extremely hard worker and a great leader for our football team.

We are confident that if something happens to Austin that the team is in good hands.”

TxDOT working on new 290 option Continued from p. 1 TxDOT engineers rather than a Fix 290 plan.

“In each of these meetings there were suggestions provided by our group and solutions by TxDOT engineers,” Cespedes said. “It was tremendous. It was like a whole new world. We were very optimistic.”

Cespedes said Fix 290 submitted additional ideas, suggestions and approvals to TxDOT following their August meeting and is currently waiting on a new draft and drawing of the concept from TxDOT engineers.

The Mobility Authority released a list of some of the features Fix 290 wants to see in the new alternative, which includes the following: • U.S. 290 being partially depressed in a rolling profile • All major cross streets go over US 290 • A modified roundabout instead of direct connection ramps at U.S. 290 and SH 71 • William Cannon realigned to avoid large trees on the south side • Minimize construction that would increase impervious cover, compro-

mise trees or channelize Williamson Creek However, in a Fix 290 position paper authored by Fix 290 member and engineer Bruce Melton, the coalition stated its opposition to some of the points listed in the Mobility Authority release.

While the Mobility Authority states that the new alternative will include “only one overpass at the ‘Y’ —for westbound traffic,” Melton said Fix 290’s preferred concept, deemed Alternative F, does not include an overpass.

“Alternative F has no bridge,” Melton said in an email response.

“The mainlanes are depressed like all other alternatives and everything else is at ground level.”

Cespedes said the Mobility Authority’s statement that neighborhoods would not have direct access to U.S. 290 and “minor street access would be cul-de-sac’d off where possible to limit direct access to major arterials” is at odds with Fix 290’s vision.

“Neighborhood access is not cut off at any time,” Cespedes said. “The only street that is cul-de-sac’d in this plan, if they buy it, is Hill Oaks. Hill

Oaks has access to Escarpment and doesn’t have to feed directly onto the 290 main lanes.”

Fix 290 member Beki Halpin said she believes TxDOT’s inclusion of greener solutions is a promising change of pace for the historically concrete-oriented organization.

“The beauty of Oak Hill is of course what draws people out here, so we wanted to preserve that beauty and I think they’re trying to do that now.

The first round, they didn’t even mark where the trees were, hardly, let alone think about preserving them,” Halpin said. “Now they’re marking where the trees are, thinking about how to preserve them and thinking about the creek and how they can preserve the creek.”

Halpin said the efforts of concerned community members is reflected in all the alternatives, which favor limited elevation over TxDOT’s original flyover plan.

“All of the design alternatives that they’re presenting have low or almost no elevation to them, but they’re still perfectly functional,” Halpin said. “They still get traffic through Oak Hill and around Oak Hill. It seems to me like it’s been a win-win result.”

Halpin said a major goal of Fix 290’s contribution is to provide convenient access to all areas of Oak Hill.

“The alternative that we are presenting allows, I think, the best access.

We tried really hard to preserve the

“In each of these meetings there were suggestions provided by our group and solutions by TxDOT engineers. It was tremendous. It was like a whole new world. We were very optimistic.” - Carol Cespedes access to all of the establishments, businesses, neighborhoods, hospitals, ACC and the schools,” Halpin said. “We tried very hard to think ‘If you lived here and you wanted to go here, could you get there? How could you get there?” We tried to preserve all of that access as well as realize the goals for the highways.

In that regard I think people should get behind it.”

Cespedes said there are still several factors at play when considering the future of the Oak Hill Parkway.

“We’re looking 20, 30 years into the future. There will be different businesses, different settlement patterns, different developments, hopefully more green space preserved. During the process, before this is finally funded and constructed, there will be several decision points. We’re going to have to have funds approved, we’re going to have to find where the money is coming from,” Cespedes said. “That’s what happened with the

old road. You have a plan, but then you have reality.”

That is one major factor still yet to be determined: how to pay for the project, whatever it may be.

“We have been informed that this phase of the conversation does not involve financing. It doesn’t involve economics,” Cespedes said.

The involvement of the Mobility Authority, a tolling authority, has led many to believe the project will be tolled, said Cespedes, who said Fix 290 largely favors a non-tolled roadway.

“We have to consider both tolled and non-tolled alternatives,” Cespedes said.

Dan Rogers, a professional transportation engineer who’s been driving through the ‘Y’ since the 1970s, said an at-grade parkway option doesn’t provide the necessary traffic capacity to carry Oak Hill into the future.

Where Texas stands: TxDOT working on new 290 option Launching the ACA Marketplace Continued from p. 17

“The whole issue is capacity.

When everybody talks about a parkway what they miss in the concept is that there’s not nearly the through-vehicle capacity of a parkway lane that there would be of a freeway lane,” Rogers said. “If you take a four-lane freeway and turn it into a parkway, it would take an eight-lane parkway to carry the same capacity of a fourlane freeway.”

Parkway proponents have pointed out in the past that traffic moves slower on a parkway lane (especially if there are scenic landscaping elements left intact), allowing cars to travel closer together, thus somewhat compensating in capacity for the fewer cars at higher speeds that are spaced much farther apart on a typical freeway.

Rogers said a proper transportation plan should address not only the vehicles that currently travel through the ‘Y,’ but also the residents who have been using alternative routes to avoid the congested 290/71 intersection.

Rogers added that sufficient traffic capacity through the ‘Y’ should support approximately 82,000 vehicles.

“Everybody that lives in Oak Hill has a way to get around the ‘Y,’” Rogers said. “You can’t get a parkway to fix what’s there because the demand will rise to whatever level of capacity is built unless you build (with sufficient

capacity).”

Rogers said he prefers an option with grade-separated intersections and direct freeway level access to and from SH 71, similar to what was originally proposed

by TxDOT. “The original concept was a freeway with grade separation intersections at William Cannon and SH 71. In other words, all the SH 71 traffic does not intersect with the 290 traffic and all the William Cannon traffic does not intersect with the through traffic on 290/71,” Rogers said. “The problem is U.S. 290—while it’s connected to a freeway and has freeway level traffic—it’s not a freeway.”

While the Oak Hill Parkway remains a point of contention for the Oak Hill community, Cespedes said the project has allowed the community to create a dialogue and work together to find a solution.

“I think what we have done is provide a channel for communication among people who care enough to be involved in it,” Cespedes said. “We’ve been able to open serious conversations and keep it on track.”

The Oak Hill Parkway project was launched in November 2012 with a series of open houses and public meetings to develop alternative design concepts. Nine concepts were released to the public last May.

AUSTIN - The League of Women Voters Austin Area kicks off the fiscal year with a presentation about the Affordable Care Act. The featured speaker is Anne Dunkelberg, Associate Director for the Center for Public Policy Priorities (CPPP), whose major mission is to ensure access to quality, affordable health care for all. Anne will explain what ACA means to residents of a state

whose leaders are opposed to this federal law.

In addition, a staffer from the Travis County Clerk’s office will update us on the current status of the Texas photo ID requirement.

The meeting will be held on Sunday, September 15, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church, and is free and open to the public.

Trinity United Methodist Church

is located at 40th and Speedway.

Parking is available in the church parking lot across the street.

Anne Dunkelberg joined CPPP in 1994. In 2007 she was named Consumer Advocate of the Year by Families USA in Washington, D.C. She holds a Master of Public Affairs degree from the LBJ School.

St. Michael’s Catholic Academy Crusaders defeat SAC Lions Continued from p. 11 the stout SMCA defense not only held SAC on downs after consecutive solo tackles by cornerback Marcus Whipper and a key fourth down stop by defensive end Blake Eller, but also created yet another turnover to ice the game when Zach DeVries stripped a SAC receiver and

recovered the ball.

The blocking by offensive linemen, Oliver Puryear, Gabe Haley, Mason Anderson, Brennan Waites, and Colin Mahon got stronger throughout the game as SMCA scored 29 points second-half points.

The Crusaders were able to tack on an insurance TD when running

back Hahn sprinted down the SAC sideline for 44 yards to the SAC six. From there Carlton carried yet again for the final touchdown. The final score was the PAT from SMCA kicker, Matt Marker. The final score was 32–24. - submitted

Crockett loses a close one to Akins Continued from p. 12

Tamez for a long passing play into the Eagle red zone. Fullback Isjalea Greene then ran across the goal line and Adrian Herreraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extra point kick cut the Akins advantage to 18-7 at intermission.

Crockett proceeded to embark on a six-play drive in the third period that included a reception by Trevon Louis and a pair of runs from Greene.

Justin Miller took a third down handoff and, after escaping a blitzing

Eagle defender, sprinted right for a 54-yard scoring dash. Louis and Greene again provided a spark on the subsequent Cougar possession that ended with Tamez catching an 8-yard scoring strike from Ochoa.

Herreraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kick then banged off the left upright, but Crockett went in front 20-18 with 7:45 remaining in the third quarter.

Lineman Aaron Thomas and Luis Sanchez combined with linebacker DJ Wilhite to swarm the Eagle of-

fense and consistently harass Akins quarterback Ryan Medrano early in the fourth quarter. After near misses earlier in the game, the Cougar special teams broke through the Eagle line and blocked an Akins punt to give Crockett the ball inside the Akins 10-yard line. With Dominic Rodriguez snapping and Marshall Mindieta holding, Herrera extended the Cougar lead to 23-18 with a 30yard field goal.

Akins began their final drive with

less than four minutes left, and Medrano eluded Crockett defenders with rushes and a pass play to senior receiver Ronald Tate. Lowery eventually barreled through and over the Cougar defenders on a touchdown jaunt as 40.7 seconds remained.

After a successful Akins two-point conversion, Ochoa skillfully located

receivers to advance the Cougars downfield, but an errant toss down the left sideline was intercepted by Lowery to seal the victory for the Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of my team,â&#x20AC;? a happy Lowery stated afterward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have done it without my team.â&#x20AC;?

Residents sound off on possible Oak Hill district Continued from p. 1

their community.

“Circle C has felt for sometime, and other people in southwest Austin have felt for some time, that they aren’t represented. This is an opportunity to correct that. Not only for southwest Austin but for other areas of Austin as well,” Haag said. “I think we’re going to find ten individuals who are interested in the community, who represent their community, who are aware of the issues in their community and they bring them to the Council’s attention.”

Ed Scruggs, former president of the Circle C Home Owners Association, said he wants the commission to recognize the political and economic diversity that exists in southwest Austin.

“When you consider districts in the south and southwest, keep in mind the area is a little more diverse than people believe it to be,” Scruggs said.

“Whoever would be elected from this district I think would have a lot of different opinions to draw from.”

Scruggs spoke against lumping everything west of Mopac together, stressing the common interests among southwest Austin and Oak Hill residents.

“I could envision something from Brodie Lane going all the way to the west, then maybe going up north to possibly Ben White or up to where 360 turns —maybe incorporating Travis Country,” Scruggs said.

Eliza May, a resident of Travis Country and member of Austinites for Geographic Representation, said gaining individual representation for the Oak Hill area will ensure a larger focus on suburban issues among City Council members.

“The city of Austin predominantly has been most concerned with urban issues and has not really addressed the issues that come with our territory,” May said. “We definitely are not an urban area. We’re a suburban area. So we have those issues that come with the area that we live in.”

Herman Prager, an adjunct profes-

sor of government at Austin Community College, said redistricting will result in more fair governing throughout the city.

“It will, I think, make decision making more difficult, but it will also result in better representation and more thorough consideration of how proposed and existing public policies affect the city,” Prager said.

Prager urged the commission to use geographic information systems (GIS), a system which allows users to view and analyze data relating to trends, relationships and patterns within a given area, to avoid unfairly drawn districts.

“Draw the ten districts so that the populations are equal and the districts are created that resemble as closely as possible generally boxes or rectangles that resist partisan political pressure to control outcomes,” Prager said.

Rick Perkins, secretary of the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods (OHAN), said neighborhoods have been supportive of the redistricting process in hopes that a new delegation will allow Oak Hill to have a voice in citywide projects, such as Imagine Austin.

Perkins also spoke about residents’ desire for a town center near the ‘Y’ in Oak Hill.

“We’ve tried and tried through different council members, but we’ve just had nothing stick and so we’re hoping that a delegate will help us develop some kind of town center or a central place that we can go to that currently doesn’t exist out here,” Perkins said.

Marie Acuna, a Western Oaks resident, said an Oak Hill representative on the City Council would help ensure that neighborhood plans are respected and upheld.

“Neighborhoods all over this town have spent years and years and hours and hours of their personal time developing neighborhood plans, only to see them overridden by the city,” Acuna said. “I think this is one of the reasons we need the change that we’re moving to.”

John Albert Mansour started at quarterback for Austin High, but gave way to 6â&#x20AC;&#x2122;2â&#x20AC;? sophomore Beau Kalbacher on the Maroonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third possession. Mansour saw action at receiver, catching a pass later in the red zone. Quincy Reese snagged a touchdown pass from Kalbacher in the second half.

Defensively, Tyler Cole made a

phenomenal play for Austin High, intercepting a Warrior screen pass.

Late in the game, Maroon wideout River Beall suffered a seizure and was taken to the hospital via ambulance. He was later released and attended school on Monday.

On Friday, Austin High ventures north to take on the Panthers who are led by quarterback Zach Milner and running back Jonathan Wallace, with kick off set for 7:30 p.m.

Group presents possible maps for minority districts

by Bobbie Jean Sawyer AUSTIN - Austinites for Geographic Representation (AGR), a grassroots group of citizens dedicated to developing citizen-developed, fairly-drawn geographic districts from which City Council members will be elected, presented City Council with district maps for four minority opportunity districts at the Aug. 28 ICRC meeting at the Austin Community College South campus.

AGR leader Peck Young said Austin’s opportunity districts, dis-

tricts which are drawn to include a certain percentage of minorities to allow the minority population to elect a candidate of choice, would include three Hispanic opportunity districts and one African American opportunity district.

The maps were developed in coordination with the Texas League of United Latino American Citizens (LULAC) District 7 and the Austin NAACP. “We were committed to finding out how many districts it took

Residents sound off Continued from p. 22

Acuna said while Oak Hill is a unique community, residents face many of the same issues as the rest of the city.

“A lot of people are still close to

being forced out of their homes just like they are in east side from property taxes going sky high. We have a lot of the same concerns that other areas do.”

to guarantee—under the Voting Rights Act—representation for the minority community in Austin,” Young said.

Young said while the maps are not the final word on minority districts, they should serve as a starting point for the ICRC. “This is an indication, based on scattered charts, based on the data available and the maps available, where we think you ought to begin,” Young said.

AGR’s three 10-1 advisory committee co-chairs also spoke at the hearing.

Former state senator Gonzalo Barrientos said using AGR’s maps will help ensure equitable districts and geographic representation.

“I believe government closest to the people is best,” Barrientos said.

Nelson Linder, president of the Austin NAACP, remembered Arthur B. DeWitty, an African American man

nearly elected to City Council in 1951, when Austin was made up of single-member districts. The close election lead the City Council to place a charter amendment on the ballot to change Austin to the atlarge voting system it remains today.

Roger Borgelt, Travis County Republican Party Vice-Chair, discussed the 1977 “gentleman’s agreement,” which designated City Council seats five and six as minority seats.

“The fatal flaw in the gentleman’s agreement—and it’s why we’re here tonight presenting these—is that minority communities did not get to elect their own representatives. This

is illegal under the Voting Rights Act,” Borgelt said. “It’s not really a mistake that the Voting Rights Act is at the very top of the list of the criteria you’re using to draw these districts. It’s really the most important criteria.”

ICRC board member and Manchaca resident Mariano Diaz-Miranda said the redistricting efforts of AGR and ICRC will help create a balance of power that’s been missing in Austin.

“I think that this will change and eliminate a lot of bad decisions that the city has made that have taken power away from people of color,” Diaz-Miranda said.
