Time to slow down

S

an Antonio’s rapid growth brings its share of ups and downs.

In the down category, allow me to mention just how crazy the traffic has become, especially the morning and evening commutes.

When I drive to the newspaper, I see people barreling down the roadways well over the speed limit, making lane changes without signaling and weaving in and out of traffic like the very devil is on their tails.

In the morning, some of these motorists look barely awake, others are putting on makeup or fiddling with a smartphone (that’s illegal), and a few just have features contorted by rage.

One thing is for sure — none of them are paying attention to the road.

The afternoon drive isn’t much better.

Wake up, friends. You’re scary.

Zipping down the interstate in a heavy metal coffin with no regard for other drivers and their passengers is the height of inconsideration.

Take it from me; I have covered hundreds of fatality accidents. It only takes a second of inattention to create a lifetime of grief.

How did some of our drivers get to be like this? Driving should be a privilege, not a right, but some treat it like a stock-car race.

Folks, slow down. Whatever it is you’re speeding to, it’s not that important. Remember, school is back in session this month, and that means being even more careful.

LOCAL COMMENTARY

Dialing down on cellphone hang-ups

by SUSAN YERKES

B

efore diving into observations on this surreal summer with its oppressive temperatures, headlines full of tragedy, and polarized groups here and abroad, I have some good news.

After my July column concerning potential changes to the University of Texas at San Antonio’s HemisFair campus and the Institute of Texan Cultures, in relation to a possible bid to create a downtown baseball stadium,

longtime San Antonio Conservation Society leader Nancy Avellar informed me her organization is going to bat to preserve the distinctive ITC building.

In a letter to University of Texas Board of Regents Chairman Paul L. Foster, UTSA President Ricardo Romo, District 1 Councilman Roberto Treviño and Hemisfair Park Area Redevelopment Corp. CEO Andres Andujar, society President Janet Dietel notes: “Not only is the Institute of Texan Cultures a designated city landmark, with protections outlined in the city’s Unified Development Code, but the Texas Historical Commission has determined the building eligible for the National Register of Historic Places.”

Stay tuned for developments.

Back to the surreal. One of my mother’s greatest gifts to me was the lesson that faith and humor get you through tough times.

Maybe that’s why in spite of the dire news worldwide, I’m thinking about the most absurd things. July and August may be the best month to do so. It’s too hot for heated arguments, and soon enough

we’ll have to get down to business, return to school and elect a president.

So, let me visit the lighter side for a moment.

For instance, there’s the true story of a 34-year-old Los Angeles man who went to Las Vegas this summer to marry his cellphone. He did it in a ceremony at The Little Vegas Chapel, with the phone swathed in white casing on a stand next to him. The groom slipped his finger into the ring on his iPhone holder.

(Thankfully, Siri didn’t say “I do.”) Of course, Nevada doesn’t recognize a union between a smartphone and a human.

The whole thing reeked of a publicity stunt, but it’s worth considering in a world where some folks pay more attention to their phones than families or friends.

The other day I was sitting with some acquaintances when one woman confessed to dropping her cellphone in the toilet, adding “…and I lost all my contacts.”

The collective “Oh, no!” gasp from the group would’ve been just as appropriate at news of an unexpected death.

Our digital tools have become critical

extensions of our lives, sometimes with unhappy consequences. I don’t really need a landline anymore, but I continue to own one. What if I need it to call my cellphone when it gets lost in my house?

At least 90 percent of the time the landline rings, it’s telemarketers, and now, I’m beginning to get telemarketing calls on my cellphone, too, no matter how many times I’ve put my numbers on the no-call list.

Sometimes I agree with a wry and funny friend who puts all her technological troubles succinctly: “All our modern conveniences are turnin’ against us.”

Still, despite the hassles of calling unhelpful help lines, bills too complex to fathom, and the considerable expense of connectivity, I, too, find my phone, like my tablet and laptop, pretty indispensable these days.

Not enough, however, to marry them. Then again, in a world sometimes resembling a three-ring circus gone wrong, it’s comforting to know I’m not alone. syerkes@localcommunitynews.com

hough the Legislature doesn’t meet until next January, elected leaders should give serious consideration to passing David’s Law when the time comes.

Cyberbullying is an insidious threat growing in schools, with little legal recourse for authorities and victims to stop it. David’s Law helps change that.

Sponsored by state Sen. José Menéndez, D-San Antonio, the proposal is named after 16-year-old Alamo Heights resident David Molak, who took his own life in January.

Relatives said he was the victim of a vicious online smear campaign.

David’s Law beefs up the tools school districts and law enforcement need to combat and prevent this perfidious crime, perpetrated by miscreants who hide behind a wall of online anonymity.

The proposal requires school districts to include cyberbullying as part of a standard policy on harassment; gives institutions authority to investigate any kind of bullying, even if occurring off campus; allows educators and lawenforcement agencies to collaborate on investigations; and provides the judicial system the ability to issue subpoenas to websites and social-media platforms for unmasking shadowy users.

The initiative could also assess criminal penalties.

Children mustn’t endure what David did without there being serious consequences. Lawmakers should pass this legislation and get it to the governor’s desk for a signature.

The new hires include Henrietta Brown, chief aviation administration officer; Karen Ellis, chief customer experience officer; and Ryan Rocha, chief of operations.

SCHOOL-ZONE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS are still one of District 9 Councilman Joe Krier’s highest priorities, after two young girls were killed in the last two years by motor vehicles while walking to North East Independent School District campuses.

Krier said he has dedicated more than $44,000 in discretionary funds to NEISD for the purchase of safety vests, patrol belts, safety cones and flashers for elementary and middle schools in District 9. City Council approved the expenditures in June.

NORTH EAST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEES ARE SET TO RECEIVE MORE THAN $8.5 million in pay raises beginning in 2016-17. Hikes range from 1 to 3 percent for teachers, professionals and administrative and classified personnel. Superintendent Brian Gottardy noted the district dipped into its fund balance to make the increases possible, adding future salary boosts could depend on whether NEISD receives funding help during the next legislative session.

SINCE 1980

It’s no summer slowdown for Joe Krier and Mike Gallagher, District 9 and 10, respectively, saying they and city staff have much work ahead.

Organizations such as the District 9 Neighborhood Alliance also are offering suggestions to Krier.

“We’re all trying to digest those documents, which are as big as the Bible. We’re trying to get briefed to understand all those recommendations,” Krier said about SA Tomorrow, a roadmap for handling an estimated increase of 1 million residents by 2040.

Krier said he would further study its components – sustainability, transportation, land use and urban design.

“I have meetings scheduled with city staff to walk me through each one of those plans so I can better understand them,” Krier said, adding he expects City Council to approve the update before adopting the 2017 budget in early September.

Next up is annexation. San Antonio city staffers on June 15 announced a revised plan that scaled back residential annexation for several areas. The new proposal limits U.S. 281 North annexation to commercial tracts north of Stone Oak and Encino Park and delays absorbing area residential neighborhoods until 2034.

Gallagher has long supported the city’s original idea to annex five unincorporated Bexar County sites. He said the move enhances zoning and code-enforcement efforts, along with improved rural emergency-services response times.

“The ability to adequately plan ahead for the growth in these outlying areas also puts less strain on our infrastructure and utilities,” he said. “Annexation also allows our public services like parks and libraries to expand (and

JULY 25 - AUG. 22, 2016 accommodate more) residents.

“Anytime the city can annex land is a win for residents, our utility companies and city planners alike. Our city and others along the (Interstate 35) corridor are rapidly growing, with no end in sight.”

The new plan drops an initiative to annex the eastern Interstate 10 corridor due to the cost of providing city services to those residents, such as in Camelot II. Krier favors forging non-annexation agreements with certain neighborhoods – his preference since San Antonio first began the annexation process in late 2014.

The council could decide those issues before year’s end. However, state House District 122 Rep. Lyle Larson said he’d fight current state annexation laws in the next legislative session.

In 2015, Larson co-authored legislation which would have allowed constituents in unincorporated areas to vote on annexation.

“Unfortunately, much like previous attempts to address this issue, our efforts were thwarted,” Larson said.

“Though our legislation was not successful, we haven’t given up. We will file legislation that will allow residents to vote before being taxed by a municipality again when the (Legislature) convenes in January 2017.”

Also on tap is the city’s next bond package, projected at more than $850 million. Krier, Gallagher and other council members already have assembled district bond committees.

The District 9 Neighborhood Alliance, comprised of 64 community representatives and leaders, is forming its wish list of bond projects, with subcommittee members tasked with compiling needs for streets, drainage, parks and structural additions.

“Each of those committees have met two or three times and are meeting with District 9 residents to determine potential bond-eligible projects,” said Art Downey, head of the alliance.

In the coming weeks, council members will nominate representatives from their districts to citywide committees that will pare down proposals over the fall and winter before sending final recommendations to the council, which likely will set a May election.

Several projects are being considered, including a District 9 senior center.

SALOCALLOWDOWN.COM JROTC continues from pg. 01

High-tech range

by BAIN SERNA

S

tudent-cadets in the MacArthur High School Army JROTC program will now train in spacious new quarters when the academic year dawns, thanks to the 2011 Bond Program.

The facility boasts state-of-the-art classrooms, a high-tech rifle range, office space and much more, according to officials.

“It is larger and meets the needs for growth in student participants,” said Principal Peter Martinez. “It also helps MacArthur stay current … Our old JROTC building was the last remaining structure from the original campus.

It was in dire need of replacement, and the new building is beautiful.”

The new JROTC facility was approved by district taxpayers as one of 12 construction or renovation projects across the district.

The bond project totaled nearly $400 million, with about $25 million allocated to various upgrades at MacArthur, officials said.

“We are so proud of this facility, made possible by our 2011 Bond Program,” said Superintendent Brian Gottardy. “Over the years, the MacArthur JROTC program has produced some of the finest cadets. With additions such as an eight-lane rifle range and new marching quadrangle, we are excited about the future of the program.”

The new facility is beneficial

for both instructors and students alike, according to officials.

“There was a serious need for more up-to-date facilities for our JROTC program as well as those across the district,” said the school’s JROTC instructor Lawrence Garcia, a retired Army major with 21 years of service and a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Some of the new technology we are enjoying are classroom Smartboards and (an) Olympic-grade, air-rifle targeting system in our range.”

The system allows the school to host competitions in which shooters receive immediate feedback. Spectators can view real-time results on flat-screen monitors visible from the bleachers.

“The system affords our cadets the opportunity to excel in this sport that could potentially lead to scholarships, collegiate or Olympic-level shooting opportunities,” the veteran said.

Some cadets likely will pursue assignments in the military, educators said.

“As a four-year program, we have the opportunity to see cadets grow from their freshman year into a young adult when they are seniors,” Garcia said. “Also, many will return to visit and we give them an opportunity to talk to current students about their success and failures.”

The new building and the JROTC program it houses provide an opportunity for students to find a way to get more involved, according to Martinez, who himself was a JROTC cadet in his high school years.

“There are some students who may not find another motivation, but JROTC gives them the opportunity to contribute to the campus and their community,” the principal said. “I see the same benefits for our current students.”

Dubbed Books & Bites, the pilot program involved a school bus retrofitted as a mobile cafe that provided free, nutritious lunches and books for check-out to students in five economically challenged communities.

NEISD officials said the program helps children if they can’t get to a school cafeteria serving free or reducedprice lunches during the summer.

Some students also say the program just helps them balance their many responsibilities during the time school is out.

“It’s a big blessing, because it’s less stress off of me because I have to cook for (my siblings) during the summer,” said Genevieve Apodaca, a Churchill High School student.

Books & Bites ran from June 13 through July 28 and stopped at the five neighborhoods Monday through Thursday. Each visit lasted 20 minutes to serve lunch and allow kids time to grab some reading materials.

“The idea was that we wanted to reach kids with free meals in areas that weren’t close to a campus, because we’ve been feeding children in the summer at our schools for years,” said Sharon Glosson, the executive director of NEISD School Nutrition Services.

Meals were served by Cafeteria Manager Veronica Miranda and School Nutrition Assistant Carlota Gonzalez.

Three middle school librarians volunteered to help check out books — Christie Hirst from Bush, Jamie Jennings from Wood

SALOCALLOWDOWN.COM NEISD continues from pg. 12 and Michelle Born from Krueger.

In the first two weeks, the NEISD staffers served 865 meals and checked out 149 books.

Based on positive feedback from parents and the communities, Glosson said they will continue the program after a review.

“We’re definitely not pioneers in the state, but in the city we are,” Glosson added. “We looked to other cities who already had similar models last summer to get an idea of what to do, and so we’re just trying to encourage other school districts in the city to think about this for the future.”

Stops for the mobile cafe required that at least half of the children qualified for free or reduced-price meals at school. Officials said 37 percent of students enrolled at NEISD campuses take advantage of the program when they are at school, a decrease from 42 percent during the previous school year.

The five stops included the

Dellview Park and Pool and San Pedro North Mobile Home Community, as well as other areas to service students from Lee, Madison, Roosevelt and Churchill high school clusters.

Apodaca lives in San Pedro North Mobile Home Community, which is surrounded by neighborhoods that didn’t meet the eligibility requirements.

“Not to say that anybody is really poor, but it’s hard to feed a family with

kids during the summer because they eat everything,” Apodaca said.

Books & Bites is a part of the Department of Agriculture’s Summer Meal Program, which provides food to help families stretch tight budgets.

Parents do not have to apply in order for their children to have access to the meals.

NEISD is reimbursed by the USDA for each meal served on campuses and for the mobile cafe in the summer.

The bus was donated by the district’s transportation department and redesigned to create booth-style seating and a food-preparation area. All meals were cooked at a central location and kept warm until they were served.

Children were encouraged to eat lunch first and then check out a book, even if they weren’t enrolled in school yet.

“Feed your stomach and feed your mind,” Hirst said. “A child is more likely to read a book if he or she has the comfort of a full stomach.”

Meals included nachos, a stromboli with marinara dipping

sauce and chicken nuggets, all served with fruits, vegetables and milk.

“It’s still meeting all of the National School Lunch program guidelines for all the nutrients,” Glosson said. “It just looks like fun food so the kids are enticed, too.”

Cafeteria staff members tried to keep the food kid-friendly, while staying away from messier items such as spaghetti and meatballs.

According to Glosson, any time they can offer a program in conjunction with meals, more kids will attend, so she reached out to the Library Services Department to help coordinate the project.

Not only could students check out books, but they could also take home audiobooks or an e-reader.

“I think it’s great that NEISD came up with just a fantastic program that takes some of the transportation issues out of the equation. Kids can get nourishment for the bodies — brains and souls — both through food and books” Jennings said.

Get out of your shell and visit Little Woodrow’s for fun, turtle races

by COLLETTE ORQUIZ

L

ittle Woodrow’s is cranking out merriment on the North Side with turtle races, bar games and karaoke, along with “pretty darn good food” and plenty to drink.

“We’re the host of the party, and everyone is having a good time,” said Jesse Smith, director of operations.

Opening last October, the Little Woodrow’s at 606 W. Afton Oaks

Blvd. is the second; the first at 2535 Babcock Road debuted two years ago.

The bar is open for lunch, and serves up scratch-made eats. General Manager Eric Rogers’ favorites are the hamburgers and the nachos, which are great for sharing and go well with a brew, he said.

“We just believe in positive vibes and everyone just relaxing and having a good time. Nobody else has what we have,” Rogers said.

Children are welcome until 3 p.m., and then the place turns into a “judgmentfree zone” where the staff wants patrons
