Stay vocal, stay informed in 2017

T

here are plenty of weighty issues in 2017 for residents to consider.

Elections will be held May 6 in San Antonio, among other cities, and one of the top considerations is the mayoral race. Candidates so far include incumbent Ivy Taylor and District 8 Councilman Ron Nirenberg.

Meanwhile, District 9 Councilman Joe Krier and District 10’s Mike Gallagher are not seeking re-election.

In addition, city officials are putting an $850 million bond on the ballot. It pushes for upgrades and new construction for streets, bridges, sidewalks, facilities, parks and recreation, drainage and flood control, and neighborhood redevelopment.

At the state level, conservative politicians in Austin are considering limiting the annexation powers of cities and taking another look at school vouchers.

These races and issues could have an impact on your neighborhoods, taxes and even where you decide to live. Speak out by contacting your elected officials.

Beware of so-called fake news and rely on credible media outlets and other trusted sources, such as official town-hall meetings and public forums.

Only then can you make informed decisions to better your community.

LOCAL COMMENTARY

Taking stock at the rodeo

by SUSAN YERKES

As San Antonio counts down to the citywide tricentennial celebration next year, there’s a lot of excitement about history and heritage. A big part of the legacy comes alive every February at the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo.

The nearly monthlong festivities offer a living look at many of the traditions that shaped Texas and its people. The show started Feb. 4, when the Western Heritage Parade & Cattle Drive drew thousands to see a herd of

Texas longhorns move down Houston Street to the Alamo, accompanied by the Fort Hood 1st Cavalry Division and the Fort Sam Houston Caisson.

Staged in the urban heart of a booming 21st century city, it’s a memorable juxtaposition of old and new.

The same can be said for the entire Stock Show & Rodeo, opening at Freeman Coliseum and the AT&T Center Feb. 9 and running through Feb. 26.

Founded in 1949, the Stock Show & Rodeo, or SALE (San Antonio Livestock Exposition Inc.), originally celebrated the time-honored traditions of farming and ranching, which attracted settlers to the state in the first place.

Land drove the economy. In much of Texas, it still does. With nearly 250,000 farms and ranches covering more than 130 million acres, the Lone Star State leads the nation in producing cattle, cotton, hay, sheep, goats and mohair, which adds up to an economic impact of more than $100 billion a year, according to the Texas Department of Agriculture.

Living in the city, it’s easy to

forget such facts. These days, the closest many folks get to a pasture is pasteurized milk, and cowboy culture is all hats and boots, but no cattle.

It’s actually pretty easy to enjoy the glitz and fanfare of the rodeo and bigname band concerts without giving much thought to the future of agriculture. You can spend a weekend sampling corn dogs, funnel cakes, chili and a chuck wagon’s worth of chow, or shop till you drop in the sprawling market hall without ever seeing the inside of an animal barn.

It’s all a lot of fun, but behind it is the real reason the Stock Show & Rodeo exists – the young people who represent tomorrow’s farmers and ranchers.

Modern agriculture is big business.

Yet, family farms and ranches still survive, and many Texas children and teens are carrying on old customs and creating new ones. While a lot of San Antonio-area kids have never been to a dairy farm or ridden a horse, there are still 50 active 4-H clubs in Bexar County, in addition to FFA (formerly Future Farmers of America) groups.

More than 12,500 young exhibitors, and the cattle, horses, goats, sheep, pigs and poultry they raised, participated in competitions and auctions at the stock show last year, and received a record $12.5 million in scholarships, prizes and financial support. The grand champion steer alone sold for $105,000 at auction.

Over the years, SALE has given more than $170 million to help educate the future leaders of agriculture.

These are hard-working youngsters, often from families who have farmed, ranched or volunteered at the Stock Show & Rodeo for generations. Today, their education is much more complex, ranging from engineering and agrobotics to agricultural science and aquaculture.

If you’re attending this year, take a little time to visit the livestock barns or see an auction (for a schedule, go to sarodeo.com).

That’s where you’ll find an important part of Texas’ heritage — and Texas’ future. syerkes@localcommunitynews.com

It seems unconscionable such a law doesn’t already exist. However, this will change if state Rep. Lyle Larson, R-San Antonio, and Texas Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, are successful with new legislation.

Larson, during the 85th legislative session, is pushing for House Bill 299.

The annexation reform would keep home-rule cities from unilaterally usurping regions within their extraterritorial jurisdictions,

FEB. 6 - MAR. 13, 2017 instead requiring the municipalities to let affected residents have their say-so at the ballot box.

The effort was sparked by a recent, major land-grab proposal undertaken by San Antonio. After several protests, the measure was later scaled back, though it still includes a stretch along Interstate 10 West and a commercial corridor on U.S. 281 north of Loop 1604.

Annexation is not necessarily a bad thing. It can bring more services including fire and police, as well as additional legal safeguards to protect land and property.

On the other hand, when territories are annexed services can be delayed, additional regulations can feel burdensome and residents often face more taxation.

Locals whose land is about to be gobbled up by a neighboring city should have a say in the proceedings, not just stand by helplessly while a pen stroke adds them to the tax rolls.

February Furniture Restore It’s the beginning of a new month....and you know what that meansa new project for you to start! I heard from so many of you last month when we talked about cleaning windows with Renz EZ. It was so very encouraging and gave me so many ideas for months to come. So this month I want to encourage you to tackle cleaning up your furniture. If you are like most people, you buy a piece of furniture and expect to last for years and years. It should, for what furniture costs. Little nicks and stains will make your furniture look old but it’s so easy to take care of that. If your furniture is dirty or has a sticky feel, you can clean it with Fine Wood Cleaner. For little nicks, use a putty stick in the color closest to the furniture color. Rub it in the nick or scratch. Be aggressive and get it down into the area. Don’t worry if you get the putty stick on the furniture in the area around the scratch; it will buff out. Take your time and get all the scratches out down by the legs where you run into it with the vacuum cleaner. The Finish Fixer by Howards is an excellent putty stick, soft enough to go into any abrasion or scratch and firm enough to stay there. After you rub the putty stick into the wood, you need to buff the area and reapply if required.

If you have discoloration in the wood from sun damage or age, use Restore A Finish in the color of the furniture. The color match doesn’t have to be perfect; Restore A Finish is very forgiving.

Wipe on the Restore A Finish like you are dusting and let dry. After it’s dry, inspect the piece and if necessary repeat the process. If you just have a cloudy look from a wet glasses use the White Ring Remover and just wipe it across the stain. After you have taken care of any imperfection in your furniture protect finish with Feed and Wax. It’s a formulation of beeswax, orange oil and carnauba wax which makes furniture look like it just came off the showroom floor plus it smells so good. If you did everything I wrote about it would be just a couple of hours of your day. Time well spent for good looking furniture!

Question: I enjoy ready your Happy Handyman articles in our Katy Community Newspaper and have used your recommendations to repair various projects around the house. My issue is with rust in my garage. All my tools and everything else metal is slowly rusting away. I can only assume it’s a result of the salt from the water softener which is also in the garage. Any suggestions? I can’t be the only person with this problem.

Answer: After talking with numerous soft water companies in San Antonio I am convinced that is not the problem. It never caused a problem in any house of mine or dads. But the salt water pool you have does give me concern. SO I AM THROWING THIS OUT TO ALL OF THE READERS- IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED RUST IN THE GARAGEWHAT WAS THE PROBLEM- EMAIL ME AT www.happyhandyman2@yahoo.com and I will pass on the answers to this reader and post later.

IN OTHER NEWS THE ALAMO AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING AUTHORITY’S Transportation Policy Boar recently voted to allocate $33 million to fix congestion issues

FEB. 6 - MAR. 13, 2017 along the Wurzbach Road corridor, according to District 8 Councilman Ron Nirenberg. “This money will help relieve congestion — a regional priority since the Wurzbach corridor is a main route into the South Texas Medical Center,” said the councilman, who serves on the transportation board. Within 25 years, 50,000 jobs could be added to the medical center, but the infrastructure must be upgraded to handle the increased traffic, officials said. In mid-January, the City Council recommended $2 million in additional Wurzbach Road spending through the 2017 Bond, set for a vote May 6. Recent expansion of Wurzbach Parkway by the Texas Department of Transportation has created congestion for Wurzbach Road, and the money will help fund upgrades officials said.

Key to success is compromise, Gallagher says

by EDMOND ORTIZ KRIER

C

ity Council will see some new North Side representatives after May 6.

Joe Krier and Mike Gallagher, councilmen for districts 9 and 10, respectively, recently announced they wouldn’t seek re-election.

Before leaving office, Krier and Gallagher still have plenty to do.

“We have an $850 million bond to finish and pass,” Krier said, referencing the major infrastructure referendum also included on the May ballot.

“Before I hand over the keys, I

want to make sure that we have done everything we can so that the next member’s transition will be as smooth as possible,” Gallagher added.

The council tapped Krier, a noted business and civic leader, in November 2013 to fill the remainder of Elisa Chan’s term in District 9. Chan made an unsuccessful bid for the state Senate during the Republican primary.

Krier then was elected to the council in May 2014, collecting nearly 57 percent of the vote against four other candidates.

Meanwhile, Gallagher, a retired

Air Force colonel and well-known Northeast Side leader, was appointed to the council in January 2014.

He won his first election in 2015 with 81 percent of the vote over Celeste Montez-Tidwell.

Both council members said they’re proud of the practical approach they brought to various issues.

Krier noted when he first joined the council, he thought the city had “gotten away from its back-to-basics” mentality.

He added that when Ivy Taylor was selected mayor in 2014, she helped officials refocus on fundamental city operations.

“In my view, that’s limited to police, fire, roads, drainage, parks and libraries,” Krier said. “In my time on council, those have been the priorities.”

Krier said he supports Taylor’s reelection bid. Her most visible challenger is District 8 Councilman Ron Nirenberg.

A former president of the San Antonio Chamber of Commerce, Krier credits Taylor for her leadership on

CITY COUNCIL continues from pg. 13 issues such as securing a long-term water supply with the Vista Ridge Pipeline project, and negotiating a new collective bargaining pact with the San Antonio Police Officers Association.

Krier said the recent agreement benefits the city and taxpayers, adding, “It will become a model for when we start negotiations with the (San Antonio Professional Firefighters Association).”

He also praised the municipality in securing a chunk of the Classen/ Steubing property in Stone Oak, which will become a public park.

He plans to follow the election, too.

“I’m going to continue living in District 9, so I’ll take great interest in what happens,” he added.

John Courage is one such candidate hoping to follow Krier. The Air Force retiree and ex-teacher, active with the Texas Democratic Party, once ran against U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio.

FEB. 6 - MAR. 13, 2017 Elsewhere, Gallagher said he was happy his office could address safety, economic development and infrastructure issues in District 10 during his tenure.

He spearheaded a move toward safe exchange zones for consumers using websites like Craigslist when they meet in person to make transactions, and a ban on hand-held phones while driving.

Gallagher sees no letup on these issues during his final months as councilman.

“We will continue focusing on protecting our neighborhoods through strong police/community relationships and the (San Antonio Police Department’s San Antonio Fear Free Environment program),” he said.

“We will also continue to work closely with the neighborhoods on potential zoning issues that may have an impact on their areas,” he added.

“And without hesitation, I’ll continue to focus on the revitalization of the Northeast Corridor along Perrin Beitel (Road) and Nacogdoches Road.”

LOCALCOMMUNITYNEWS.COM CITY COUNCIL continues from pg. 14 Gallagher said he likely will not get involved in the District 10 race, but added his successor should put residents’ needs first.

“Sometimes that means through compromise. Nothing gets accomplished on council without six votes,” he added.

Gallagher expressed hope city leadership continues reflecting San Antonio’s demographics, and its military assets and heritage.

“I truly believe council and our city benefit from the knowledge and experience of a military veteran,” he added.

In post-council life, Krier looks forward to doing things he’s put off, but also will be available to offer the city help.

As for Gallagher, he’ll remain on the city’s Charter Commission, which is looking at a possible revision election in the near future.

“However, my main focus is to spend more time visiting my very large family and, of course, to keep up my work within the community,” he added.

Feb. 17 is the filing deadline for mayoral and council candidates, and the final day an election can be called for May 6.

HAVANO PARK — Repairs to the Trinity well could have the system back to normal

by February after a lightning strike last summer took it out of operation.

The well is one of several supplying water to the city, through the damage July 25 did not affect service from other wells, officials said.

The total cost is still being assessed, though the city’s insurance covered replacing the well’s pump and motor.

“I voted in favor of the monies to repair the Trinity well,” said Alderman Mike Simpson. “If this repair fixes what is wrong, then I’m happy. If not, then perhaps it might be time to discuss capping our losses. I hope the repairs work and that can be the end of the discussion.”

Overhauls related to piping and water filtering are still being examined, according to officials.

“The repairs have been completed, and we are now in the testing phase,” said Mayor Robert Werner. “I am very impressed with the combined efforts of our director of public works, Brandon Peterson, and our Water Advisory Committee. Together, they have charted a very understandable plan

Edwards Aquifer Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer SOURCE: TEXAS WATER DEVELOPMENT BOARD

for a challenging issue. Since the Trinity is a supplemental water source for our community, we had additional latitude to complete the project the right way as opposed to needing to force a quick solution.”

The Edwards Aquifer supplies most of the water to the greater San Antonio area.

The Trinity Aquifer, north and west of Shavano Park, is a supplemental source.

All city areas serviced by the water system have historically been covered by water owned by Shavano Park and from the city’s other wells, according to Werner.

The Trinity well is located in the northern area of the city next to Loop 1604.

“In order to mitigate the impact of periodic Edwards (Aquifer) pumping limits, the city drilled the Trinity well,” the mayor said. “In drought years, the Trinity will be a material benefit to Shavano Park water system customers. The Trinity well is just one of our community’s wells.”

Water capacity and flow, as well as quality, was unaffected even with the Trinity well being inoperable, according to officials.

“When the Trinity well is operating, I cannot tell the difference between the blended water from the Trinity and water solely from the Edwards,” Werner said. “Since our water system allows for a blending of Trinity and Edwards water or solely Edwards water, the capacity and flow have been unaffected by the well refurbishment.”

The mayor added, “The Trinity well casing passes through an Edwards Aquifer zone and into the Trinity Aquifer. Together, the Edwards and Trinity offer a long-term strategy for supplying the service area supported by the Shavano Park water system.”

Animals are part of city’s charm, mayor says

OLLYWOOD PARK – The city’s newest deer manager says he will continue to involve the community and local officials in maintaining and preserving the herd.

Randy Tomasini, who is from San Antonio, was appointed in October to the part-time, seasonal position.

Working with the city’s Deer Committee, he is charged with protecting the deer and monitoring the population.

“We have a system for counting deer that we use that’s pretty unique and

works very well, probably one of the most accurate I’ve ever seen,” Tomasini said. “We get the community involved.”

Deer counts are performed twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. The city is divided into 15 sections.

City officials and resident volunteers simultaneously cover assigned grids to count the deer, according to officials.

The herbivores are part of Hollywood Park’s rural charm, city leaders said.

The animals’ humane and careful management is an integral part of the local atmosphere and culture.

Tomasini had previously served on the Deer Committee; his new position pays an annual salary of $6,000.

“Hollywood Park has an ordinance for deer population control and management, and a deer manager is a part of that program,” Tomasini said. “I work with the Deer Committee in defining what course of action needs to be taken in what we should do to manage the deer.”

According to Tomasini, the deer

HOLLYWOOD PARK continues from pg. 17 in Hollywood Park are free-ranging and are considered state property.

“We work closely with state biologists and they give us guidelines to things like deer population numbers,” he said. “Over the last three years, with our program that we’ve been doing, it’s been maintaining our population at about 150 deer in the town. That seems to be a good number.”

In the event of overpopulation, deer are tranquilized — or “darted” — and then safely transferred to a designated, state-approved release site in the wild that has a lower deer population.

Tomasini has been doing a good job, said Mayor Chris Fails.

“Randy is one of several deer managers we’ve had,” Fails added. “He’s done a wonderful job with the deer program at this point. He has a great insight from the local community, knowing the residents and everyone well. It’s nice to know that we’ve managed as a community to avoid the issues with deer that other communities have seen, after we’ve had

Deer are an integral part of Hollywood Park, the mayor says. File photo

our own issues with the deer in the past.”

Fails said the deer have become an enduring symbol of the town.

“They’re part of our logo,” the mayor said. “They are what our residents are used to seeing and they enjoy seeing them. They are an asset to the community. It’s part of the attraction of living in Hollywood Park.”

The new deer manager said his connection to the area helps him appreciate the animals.

“I grew up here,” Tomasini said. “My family moved out here in 1963. After I got married, we moved away but then my wife and I moved back in 1996. My grandkids like watching the deer here. I think it’s real neat to walk out your front door and see deer peacefully grazing.”

NESA continues from pg. 01

School helps young artists find their voice

by BAIN SERNA

T

he North East School of the Arts is celebrating a 20th anniversary, with faculty and students looking forward to many more years of growth for the incubator of artistry and talent.

NESA is a magnet program located on the campus of Lee High School, 1400 Jackson-Keller Road.

“We’re celebrating our 20th anniversary here,” said NESA Program Director Ernest Ramirez. “Not only in (the North East Independent School District), but we are the premier arts school for the city and for

the area. I’m very proud to say that we are the premier arts school for South Texas.”

In addition to traditional subjects, NESA focuses on an artsintensive curriculum including musical theater, dance, instrumental music, technical theater, digital arts, cinema and creative writing.

NESA draws students from both inside and outside the district.

Students are admitted if they successfully audition for their prospective art major or are otherwise approved, according to Ramirez.

“We’ve been here 20 years and we continue to do some pretty remarkable things,” Ramirez said. “We’re gearing up for yet another remarkable production here in February. We’re doing Elton John and Tim Rice’s ‘Aida.’ We try to put on three musicals or shows a year. We’ve got the acting talent, dancing talent, so we like to do musicals.”

Teachers and students also excel in stage productions, said Ramirez, who cited NESA’s very complex production of

NESA continues from pg. 19 “Phantom of the Opera” earlier this year.

“There’s always something being created at NESA. The arts remind us of what it is to be human,” said David Connelly, who teaches the musical-theater program and directs most of the stage productions.

Connelly said the teamwork also builds students’ character.

“On a dollars-and-cents level, our theater students become great collaborators and communicators. Those are powerful skills to take into just about any field these days,” the educator added.

Students said the creativity allows them to grow.

“I went to NESA because of the community here,” said senior Simone Jones, who has the lead female role of Aida in the upcoming play. “We have people that really want to study the arts. We have people that are really serious about (their) art but don’t take themselves too seriously.”

Jones believes the arts are very

important in modern education.

“You definitely have a more artistic and expressive outlook on things,” she said. “We can see and learn outside the box and help in finding a common aspect of each other as we learn to move forward together in very creative ways.”

Other students said NESA fosters a great artistic environment.

“We have some of the very best art teachers in the whole city,” said senior Preston Perez. “At NESA we have a professionalism that is instilled in us from day one, and for me specifically going into the musical-theater field, that’s something that puts a strong backbone in everything I do.”

The school provides an outlet for expression, added Perez, who has the lead male role of Radames in “Aida.”

“NESA also allows you to try and work things through and try new things,” he said. “Art has the ability to speak for our generation, especially in the 21st century.”

“Aida” will be performed Feb. 2326. For information, call 356-1033 or visit www.neisd.net/nesa/.
