This year’s theme of “Salute to Volunteers” honors those who have put service before self to contribute to our country and our city.

“The July 4th Celebration Committee encourages everyone to take part in the city’s hometown parade that unites us in spirit,” said Andra Bennett, committee chair and Parks and Recreation director. “This celebration reminds us of those who have served in the military or in civilian roles so we may enjoy our freedom and way of life.”

All entries must assemble at the Live Oak Driving Range, 510 Lakeway Drive, starting at 7 a.m. and be in place and ready to begin at 8:15 a.m.

Creative entries, from floats, bands, and golf carts, to walkers and vehicles are welcome to participate in the city’s traditional and unique Lakeway Parade. Any amplified sound from entries should be patriotic in nature.

Entries will be placed in categories for judging of corporate businesses, civic organizations and clubs, schools and Scouts, and general classification. Entries will be judged on presentation of the “Salute to Volunteers” theme, creativity, patriotic emphasis, effort, and instant impression. One entry will win Best of Parade.

The City of Lakeway welcomes everyone to give a ‘Salute to Volunteers’ at the city’s 43rd annual July 4th Celebration on Wednesday, July 4.

The ‘Salute to Volunteers’ theme recognizes not only city volunteers but also those who served in the armed forces.

“We are honored to work alongside so many talented and wonderful volunteers," said Andra Bennett, Fourth of July Committee chairwoman and Lakeway Parks and Recreation director. “It’s through their selfless dedication that this event is made possible. We couldn’t do it without them.”

Long-time parade volunteer and Air Force veteran Bill Dickson will preside as grand marshal over the city’s popular hometown parade and Pageantry of Flags.

The July 4th parade will bring the community together to celebrate country’s Independence Day at 8:30 a.m. The parade route begins at the Live Oak Golf Course, 510 Lakeway Drive, travels down Lakeway Drive, and ends at the Lakeway Activity Center, 105 Cross Creek.

Local dignitaries lead off the parade that will include Lakeway residents, local businesses, the Lake Travis High School marching band, vintage-military aircraft flyovers, the 36th Infantry Division Band from Camp Mabry, decorated golf carts, floats, boats, the Wells Fargo horse-driven stagecoach and neighbors walking and riding, all to a patriotic beat.

Following the parade is the Pageantry of Flags ceremony, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at the Lakeway Activity Center, complemented by a continental breakfast of coffee, juice and doughnuts, served prior to the pageant ceremonies. The Wildflowers choral group will present patriotic music with Dickson delivering the keynote address.

Veteran, volunteer to serve as Lakeway’s July 4th grand marshal

By Shelly Ansbach, Contributing writer Lakeway’s July 4th Celebration theme of “A Salute to Volunteers” is fitting for Grand Marshal Bill Dickson, a long-time Lakeway July 4th Parade volunteer and Air Force veteran.

A native of West Haven, Conn., Dickson graduated from high school in June 1949 and worked as an engineering draftsman while attending night classes at New Haven College. In June 1950, his life changed significantly when North Korea moved across the line into South Korea, and the United States became heavily involved in the United Nations’ operations to restore that frontier.

Attempting to enlist in the Air Force in the fall of 1950, Dickson was advised that the enlistment “quotas” were full, and he was put on a waiting list. The delay was not unusual at that time when the nation’s military realized it had to change quickly from a post-World-War II disarmed posture into the fully military preparedness reality of the Cold War. All military branches were setting up “Pipelines,” and existing training sites and cadres were being expanded and new ones established.

In April 1951, he received a call from the Air Force recruiting office, and within two days he had completed pre-induction examinations, taken the serviceman’s oath and was on a train on a two-day journey from Connecticut to Air Force basic training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.

“At that time, airman basic training took two months, and if the airman had successfully passed rifle marksmanship training, he was promoted to private first class and shipped out to a permanent duty station or to an Air Force technical school, where he received detailed training in an Air Force career field. During basic training, each new airman took a battery of intelligence and aptitude tests to determine the best career field “fit” for the Air Force. They also had an opportunity to “challenge” a particular career field by taking and passing a test which was equivalent to the technical school final exam, allowing them to bypass the school and go to a permanent assignment in their chosen career field.”

Dickson passed the test for engineering draftsman, bypassed technical school, and a month later was assigned to permanent duty with the 6540th Missile Test Group at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico. Holloman’s mission was to conduct and support testing on the former Alamogordo Army Air Field bombing range of various Air Force missiles and those of the Army launched from White Sands Proving Grounds. Both services shared the testing real estate, which later became known as the White Sands Missile Copyright © 2018 Peel, Inc.

Range, extending from the Fort Bliss Artillery Ranges near El Paso, north more than 100 miles through the Tularosa Basin of New Mexico, including Trinity Site, the location of the world’s first nuclear explosion. Dickson was assigned to the Recovery Systems Division at Holloman.

In June 1953 he was promoted to staff sergeant. He applied to Officers’ Candidate School in 1953, but did not qualify due to vision problems. He was placed on flying status as an observer, to allow his flight assessment of test hardware that was air-dropped at various altitudes from B-26, B-29, C-47, C-119 and other aircraft.

Dickson retired from the military in 1955 and went to work for Lockheed Missiles & Space Co., starting at Holloman, then at five other corporate locations within the United States for almost 35 years, until his retirement to Lakeway in 1990. While working at Lockheed he attended classes at night and on weekends, and earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics, and a master’s in Operations Research from the Florida Institute of Technology.

Dickson says that of all the features of his Air Force service, his assignment to Holloman was most significant, because that’s where he met his bride-to-be, Shirley Armstrong, at a USO blind date square dance. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on July 6, 2017.

He began volunteering in Lakeway when he was asked to speak at the City’s 1990 Fourth of July Celebration themed, “A Newcomer Looks at Lakeway.”

That role began a series of voluntary assignments with July 4th Celebration committees that continues today. Through the years, he has served as assistant general chairman, general chairman, and for the last 15 years, Fourth of July Pageantry of Flags Chairman. He has also served as Master of Ceremonies at the City’s "Lights On” and “Breakfast with Santa” events and for the spring Eggstravaganza!

Other committee work for the City started in 1993-1994 when he was a member of the original Community Center committee, followed by a stint as chairman of the 1994 Annexation Committee.

This led to the annexation of much of the RM 620 corridor, now within the city limits. Dickson chaired the Pool Consultant Search Committee in 1999, was chair of the Financial Evaluation Committee, and chairman of the Board of Adjustment, that continues today.

He was also a member of the Municipal Land Use Committee, and Assistant City Treasurer. His voluntary contributions to the city over the years were recognized in December 2001, when he was named “City of Lakeway Volunteer of the Year” and in 2013 when he received the City’s “Lifetime Achievement Award”-- only the second time this award has been given.

Dickson was elected to the Homeowner’s Association Board of (Continued on Page 6) Lakeway Voice - June 2018

Around Lakeway (Continued from Page 5) Directors in 1993, serving as treasurer in 1994 and 1995, and to the Lakeway Civic Corporation board in 1996, serving as treasurer in 1996 and 1997 and as vice president in 1997.

In 1998, he was named one of three member-trustees of the Lakeway Property Maintenance Trust Fund, the commercially managed source of much of LCC’s funding; he still serves in that capacity today.

Dickson and his wife, Shirley, are devoted members of The Lakeway Church. He served on the board of trustees at the church for more than three years as treasurer. He was also a member of the church’s Finance and Budget Committee, and the Endowment Fund Committee. He chaired the 2005-2006 Senior Pastor Search Committee. In 2006, he was elected to The Lakeway Church’s Elder Council and served as its chairman in 2009. Bill and Shirley are long-time members of The Lakeway Church Chancel Choir.

They have four children, five grandchildren and eight greatgrandchildren, scattered from San Jose, Calif., to Norfolk, Va., and Chicago to Ocala, Fla. For information about the July 4th Celebration, visit www. lakeway-tx.gov/parks or call 512-314-7530.

Cub Scouts of Lakeway are helping feed local families in need Photo credit: Brent Walters The Cub Scouts of Lakeway are helping feed local families in need.

Pack 442 collected more than 600 grocery bags of non-perishable items for Lake Travis Crisis Ministries food pantry this month. The Scouts distributed grocery bags throughout the community asking neighbors and friends to donate. The boys, ages 1st through 5th grade, then collected the bags and brought them to their monthly pack meeting.

Cubmaster Brent Walters says, “Part of the Scout Oath says “to help other people at all times”. We felt it was so important to have the boys gather food to give back right here in our community.”

Pack 442 is the primary Cub Scout Pack for boys attending Lakeway Elementary and Serene Hills Elementary and is chartered

by Lakeway Church.

2nd grader Chase Doggett said, “It felt awesome because I was helping people in need.”

Lake Travis Crisis Ministries says the summer months can be a time when the need is greatest. The pantry receives more donations (Continued on Page 7) You and your family will have the unique experience of playing with baby deer, elk, and many other playful animals in five petting zoos.

District to Add Five Minutes to the End of the School Day Beginning Fall 2018 Dear Lake Travis ISD Parents and Guardians, Beginning next fall, the school day will be extended by five (5) minutes at all Lake Travis ISD campuses. The additional minutes at the end of the day are needed to build capacity in the event of a school delay or closure due to bad weather. Current school start times will not be affected.

House Bill 2610, passed by the 84th Texas Legislature in the spring of 2015, requires that public school students receive 75,600 minutes of instruction annually. Before the new law was enacted, school districts were required to provide students with 180 days of instruction annually. The change from ‘days’ to ‘minutes’ of instruction allows school districts to bank sufficient minutes of instruction above the required minimum and avoid using bad weather make-up days. However, should the district encounter an emergency or other unforeseen circumstance, students may be required to make up any lost instructional time in order to comply with state law.

In January, the Lake Travis school board adopted the 20182019 instructional calendar with the first day of instruction set for Wednesday, August 15, 2018 and the last day of instruction set for Friday, May 24, 2019.

Listed below are current instructional day start and end times, as well as start and end times for the 2018-2019 school year:

Lake Travis Library Summer Reading Program

Lake Travis Library Art Exhibit

Parents seeking to help their children avoid the “Summer Slide” can participate in the summer reading program at the Lake Travis Community Library. The summer reading program will run from June 2 through July 27 and will help children maintain and even improve their reading and comprehension skills built during the school year.

The program can also help prepare children and teens for the upcoming school year and a successful academic future.

This year’s theme is “Libraries Rock!” and the summer reading program kickoff party will be held on Saturday, June 2 from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon. Special activities include a baby animal petting zoo, children’s musician Joe McDermott, washable face tattoos, crafts, and a photo wall. Refreshments will be provided by HEB. “The summer is one of our busiest, most fun times at the library,” said Library Director Morgan McMillian. “We have multiple programs every single day such as Science Camp, Family Flicks, Lego Robotics, Tween Time, and many special performers. I hope people take advantage of these fun offerings!”

In addition to the regular schedule of story times, the summer reading program will feature library camps for those entering kindergarten and up on Monday afternoons. Science camp will be held on Tuesday afternoons as well as Come & Go Crafts. Tweens ages eight to twelve will enjoy Tween Time crafts and activities on Wednesday afternoons.

Summer Thursdays are lots of fun with children’s entertainers including Dinosaur George, Critterman, and Magician Cody Fisher. Summer Fridays will feature special musical performers like Trilogy Quartet, Pint Size Polkas, and students from The Musician’s Woodshed. Finally, the library will present a grant funded Lego Robotics class for ages five and up each Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.

Adults and teens can also take part in the summer reading program.

Frequent reader punch cards are available and for every five books read, participants will receive a free book and be entered into a drawing for fun prizes.

Registration for all summer reading programs begins on June 2nd and is free and open to the public. For more information call (512) 263-2885 or go to www.laketravislibrary.org.

The Lake Travis Community Librar y will exhibit the paintings and drawings of Theresa Schlossberg during the month of June. Schlossberg obtained a bachelor\'s degree in Film and Television Critical Studies from the University of Southern California and a master’s degree in Fine Art from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco. She is a member of the Creative Arts Society, Austin Visual Arts Society, and Producers Guild of America. Best known for her bold abstract expressionist paintings and botanical ink drawings, Schlossberg\'s works are representative of her eclectic interests and influences.

Whether a comic book or a piece of music, these external influences help formulate color, texture, and emotion within her works.

Schlossberg’s exhibit features an ongoing series “Botanicals” inspired by late 19th century scientific illustrations. Fluid in application, yet permanent, ink and watercolor bring each illustration to life with vibrant color and the high contrast of light and shadow, all while creating a unique approach to a traditional process.

“Nature provides a palette of texture, shape, and color,” said Schlossberg. “For centuries, artists have captured these marvels in various mediums to study their intrinsic beauty for future generations. ‘Botanicals’ continues this tradition of recording the transient beauty of nature for present and future generations.”

The community is invited to view Schlossberg’s exhibit during the month of June. All are invited to a reception will take place on Friday, June 8th from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a discussion led

by Schlossberg beginning at 5:00 p.m. For additional information, visit tschlossbergfineart.com and laketravislibrary.org.

To Conserve Water and Save Money $$$ KNOW YOUR DAYS / KNOW YOUR USAGE

Water District 17 will be starting two (2) times per week summer mandatory outdoor watering schedule on May 1st. Know your designated watering days and times and follow the schedule to limit your consumption and save money.

FOR ALL CUSTOMERS: NO IRRIGATION ALLOWED BETWEEN 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.

CUSTOMERS LIMITED TO 2 DAYS PER WEEK Residential: May 1 – September 30 Commercial: Year Round AUTOMATED IRRIGATION WATERING SCHEDULE Automated: Irrigation by means of a system controlled by a timer or other remote controller.

Allowed to water BEFORE 10:00 a.m. and/or AFTER 7:00 p.m. on your designated days Your days based on address ending number: Monday & Thursday 0, 1, 2, 3 (Res) Tuesday & Friday 4, 5, 6 (Res) and Commercial / HOAs Wednesday & Saturday 7, 8, 9 (Res) Sunday no automated systems allowed Note: Customers that utilize automated systems may NOT water the same landscape areas using hose end sprinklers; only hand held hose if additional water is required.

HOSE END SPRINKLER – ANY DAY Hose end sprinkler: Garden hose equipped with a removable portable sprinkler which is moved from place to place by hand and turned on and off by hand.

Note: Only for Customers who do not have automated irrigation systems Allowed any day, no watering between 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

Notes: * Watering with HAND HELD hose, soaker hose, bubbler, drip irrigation or watering can of 5-gallons and less is allowed any day, any time * Climate driven irrigation controllers should be turned on * No other water uses are restricted under this Stage (Car washing, pool refills, use of outdoor fountains, etc – allowed) * Variances may be granted under this Stage Important Tips for Landscape Watering: Get on the correct schedule as soon as possible. If you have an irrigation system, make sure it’s in good working order and the settings are adjusted correctly. Check to see if your system is set to run more than one cycle per day.

Calculate and understand how much water your irrigation system is using each time it runs a full cycle. You can do this several ways.

• Exact Calculation - Shut off all inside uses, take a meter reading, run a full irrigation cycle and then take another meter reading.

Subtract the first reading from the second to get the exact number of thousand gallons used per each cycle.

• Approximate Calculation - Add the total number of run minutes for all zones then multiply by 12 gallons per minute (average system 14

Lakeway Voice - June 2018

use) to get the approximate amount of thousand gallons used for one cycle.

Examples: 8 zones x 50 minutes per zone = 400 minutes per cycle 400 minutes x 12 gallons/minute = 4,800 gallons per cycle If you then water two (2) times per week – 4,800 gallons/cycle x 2 cycles per week = 9,600 gallons per week If you water two (2) times per day on both watering days, (2 cycles/ day) you are watering four (4) cycles per week 4 cycles/week x 4,800 gallons/cycle = 19,200 gallons/week 19,200 gallons/week x 4 weeks = 76,800 gallons/month Add the amount calculated to your estimated use in the home (approximately 4,000 – 5,000 gallons per month for two persons) to determine your total approximate usage.

If you think your usage it too high, lower the number of minutes watering each zone runs. Should your first spring bill seem too high, pull out this sheet and recalculate your usage. Still have questions; give WCID 17 staff a call to help you out: 512-266-1111.
