+% A'' F#,-.$ AUSTIN - In the 83rd session of the Texas Legislature, which started January 8 and ends May 27, 6,500 bills have been introduced. !irty of those have been "led by Rep. Paul Workman, who represents District 47 and much of Oak Hill.

Rep. Workman is the secretary and founder of the Workman Construc-tion Company. !e bills introduced by Rep. Workman would: remove Austin’s heritage tree protections, diminish

the protections of the Save Our Springs ordinance, and make it a crime for any Texan to obey Federal gun control laws. In a city that prides itself on en-vironmental protections, the pro-

posed bills by an Austin legislator seem ironic. Some locals agree with the intent of his bills, others do not. For decades Austin had an ordi-nance on the books to protect trees with a trunk diameter of 19 inches

or more. In March 2008, more than 100 trees were cut down in Oak Hill without the proper approvals, but little could be done. Many felt the existing ordinance lacked teeth. In

Consent Agenda !e AISD Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve, as origi-nally dra"ed, a resolution regarding the use of bond proceeds, providing for the appointment of an oversight committee, and addressing matters relating to future facility master planning. Trustees also unanimously ap-proved an order approving polling locations, times and dates for elec-tion day and early voting and the joint election agreement for the May 11 special election.

Education Resource Strategies Presentation on Student-Based FundingOn Sept. 24, 2012, the board ap-proved the following FY2014 budget parameter: “To move down the path of (1) increasing school level autonomy, e#ectiveness and innovation; (2) ensuring that funds follow students based on their individual needs; and (3) decreasing disparities in per-pu-pil funding, the district will work in a phased approach, with experts and the community, to implement a revised funding model, considering at least, in part, student weights, as a basis for resource allocations, targeted to begin in the 2014-15 school year.” Representatives of Education Resource Strategies, which is partnering with AISD to fulfill this budget parameter, provided a preliminary report on $ndings to

April 2, 2013 date. Final results will be presented in June, when the board will have the opportunity to consider whether or not the district should move forward with designing a possible model.

Naming of Southeast Bus Terminal Board action on the naming of the Southeast Bus Terminal was postponed from the March 18 reg-ular meeting to allow for the review of additional candidates. Trustees discussed the district’s policy and process for naming facilities, as well as additional options for naming this facility. !e board is scheduled to take ac-tion on the naming of the southeast bus terminal at the April 22 regular board meeting.

Discussion of the Timeline and Related Decision-Making Process for the Selection of an External Partnering Entity to Lead School Improvement at Eastside Memorial High School Trustees discussed the schedul-ing of an action item on the April 22 regular board meeting agenda concerning the approval of a con-tingency plan for the possible TEA closure of Eastside Memorial High School. While there is uncertainty about whether such a contingency plan will be needed for Eastside Memorial High School, board ac-tion on April 22 would allow the administration to begin to take steps that may be necessary if the RFP process does not yield a partner

that is agreeable to a majority of the board, the community and the TEA Commissioner. !e superintendent reminded trust-ees that in the spring of 2009, TEA required, and the board approved, a contingency plan for the closure of Reagan High School when the school was subject to state account-ability sanctions, even though the plan did not take e#ect. Trustees also discussed and provid-ed direction to the administration on the makeup of and selection process for the evaluation committee of RFP P13-057, the selection of an external partner entity to lead school improvement at Eastside Memorial High School.

We Deliver - 288-848812015 Hwy 290 W Cedar Valley

Ralph Cooper White is our family dog, and he is all there, let me tell ya. What I mean when I say he’s all there is that what we have is one royally rotund, proli!cally plump pooch. Now, dachshunds are called weenie dogs because of their unique resemblance to foot-long frankfurt-ers, but as weenie dogs go, Ralph is more of a cheese danish. A round, brown, long-haired morning pastry of a hound. Actually, he’s more like a hairy little UFO. But we’ve been trying. In our e"orts to slim Ralph’s frame down to a reasonable facsimile of a normal dog’s, wifey and I take him on nightly walks in the neighbor-hood. Ralph takes his own sweet time during these forays, so much so that we practically drag him down the street. My wife told me, however, that we shouldn’t rush him; she read somewhere that to a dog a daily walk is somewhat akin to reading the newspaper. It’s the dog’s time to relax, his opportunity to unwind. If that’s the case, then Ralph nightly reads the entire Sunday double edition of #e Wall Street Journal, cover to cover. Ralph does just about anything to stall the walking process. Sni" this,

I’m just rollin’ along, like my dogpee on that, observe the trees, bark at the squirrels, look in neighbors’ windows (wait, that’s me), etc., etc. But the one delaying tactic he uses that drives me nuts is his stubborn habit of rolling in junk. Not just any ordinary junk, mind you. Ralph loves to execute full body rolls in nasty, smelly dead, decay-ing things—mainly worms. It makes you think twice about letting your pooch sleep in your bed when he carries the lingering odor of rotten death with him. Many times my wife will wake up in the middle of the night and smack me in the head. “Honey, honestly!” she’ll scold. “It wasn’t me! Ralph just moved up next to your head!” Wondering if perhaps Ralph possessed some oddball fascination with either mutant stink or death and putrefaction, I got online and found that this is actually quite a normal behavior. I shall quote from the ASPCA for Kids Site: “Rolling around in stu" that makes people want to barf—be it dead squirrels,

poop or rotting garbage—is an in-stinct that comes from dogs’ wolf ancestors. Scientists don’t know for sure why dogs have that instinct, but they have a few ideas. The

most popular theory is that dogs roll around in the yucky stu" to cover up their natural smell, giving them camou$age and helping them be sneakier hunters. An-other idea is that dogs are putting the funky smell on their bodies so they can alert other dogs to what they found. (When other dogs sni" your dog, they’ll get the exciting news that there’s

a dead animal nearby.) Still a third idea is that dogs love to shimmy on gross things to claim them as their own—they don’t want any other dogs getting in on that prime piece of grossness.” Hmm, interesting. So somewhere down the line, a fat cheese danish of a wild wolf rolled in dead stu", too. One theory holds that Ralph slathers his body in an odor to throw others o" the track, eh? I could use that myself. Say, if there was a scent I could ensconce my body in to avoid weekend chores. Men would pay good money for such an aroma, believe me. I imagine it might smell like sweat and wood shavings or something work-related—maybe grass clippings and grease. I could see it in use: “Honey, would you !x the . . .” Sni", sni". “Oh, never mind, you must be busy.” Hot dog! Of course, another theory is that dogs roll in dead stu" to stake a claim. If a scent like this worked at the o%ce, this might also be a money-maker. At my workplace in particular, any time someone makes fresh co"ee, there’s a land rush on the co"ee pot. It’s every man for himself. But—what if they made a scent so powerful, so reminiscent of Juan Valdez and mountain-grown Columbian beans that every work-er big and small would step aside, knowing instinctively that you were the rightful heir to that !rst aromatic cup of joe? For that privilege, I would roll myself in any old nasty smell.

The Word from Oak Hill neighborly news

Mike Jasper

M!"# J$%&#' !e word from Oak Hill is... Wet. Driving home in the rain on Hwy. 290 from Dripping Springs last Tuesday didn’t seem as bad as I thought it would be. !en it hit me—the construction on the road is "nished. Finally. Now you can get to the Nutty Brown, Tru-dy’s, Flores and Alice’s Restaurant aka Canyon Grill Ice House. Nice to see the rain. Maybe the lakes will "ll again.

And it was nice to see Gary Hunt, who came back to Oak Hill for one last dental appointment and, if weather permits, a round of golf at Fountainhead. He collared me and Karin at Flores Mexican restaurant Tuesday night. I guess his wife Rosie couldn’t make it, which explains why he was having dinner with "ve women that night. Same old Gary. But before he le#, he picked up our check. Who does that? What a great guy. Finally, someone who knows how to treat a writer. !at said, I’m still going to bust him for being out at night with "ve women.

Studio E will host Austin Film Actors Coach-a-Rama 2013, an all-day workshop for aspiring actors and singers who want to hone their performing chops. Yes, there will be one Song Class as well. !ere will be many classes, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. as well as panel discussions, presentations from SAG/AFTRA (they combined forces a year or two ago), a monologue presentation/competition and an improvisation demonstration. Besides Studio E’s Liz Neubauer, acting coaches include Pamela Weaver (Austin SAG Conservato-ry), Tom Booker (!e Institution !eater), Paula Russell (South La-mar Studio/State !eatre School of Acting), Stacey Glazer and Amber Dupuy and about nine more who deserve recognition as well. If only I wasn’t too lazy to list them all. “We have no formal leader,” it says at the group’s website. “Indeed, we are all volunteers here who truly enjoy

working together, with a common goal: to raise the bar and provide a meaningful and FUN event for the Central Texas acting community.” Tickets for the event are an easily a$ordable $5. Yep, only "ve bucks for an event that lasts all day. So you

should probably buy them in advance at actorsresour-ceproject.com. You can get more info at actorsresourceproject.com as well. And while the event is down the road— Plaza 71 at 7612 West Hwy. 71—you might be out of luck if you

wait until the day of the event. So don’t. Go to actorsresource-project.com. Now.

I am still not letting the HEB debit problems go. Especially since I’ve received three emails from people telling me they have the same problem. !ree emails may not seem like much to you, but it’s a barrage of feedback to me. !ing is… I can’t really "gure this out. I have a Wells Fargo card, others have Bank of America or Chase. Some only have problems at HEB, like me, while others have problems with debit cards at other retail outlets. More to come, I promise.

No one will believe me, but two presidential lookalikes work out at

Planet Fitness. One looks exactly like President Bill Clinton and the other looks like W. No kidding. Once, I saw them at the gym on the same day. Clinton likes the elliptical, while George Bush prefers the treadmill. Next time I mention this I’ll back it up with photos.

And then there were two. Looks like the food trailers on Oak Meadow next to Donn’s BBQ at the Jackson Properties parking lot are down to Fishey Bizness and

B! L"#$%" T&'(%#), LPC

Dear Leslie, I have a problem that a!ects every aspect of my life. I am a terrible procrastinator and have been since high school. When it comes to getting things done I "nd myself “forgetting” what I need to do and busying myself with all sorts of little jobs, such as raking the yard or rear-ranging my tools in the garage. My wife is at her wit’s end, and actually, so am I. With April 15th looming my current fear is doing my taxes. #is is keeping me up at night because I’m not talking about 2012 taxes, I’ve been avoiding processing the extension I requested for 2011! My wife of "$een years said if I don’t get my rear in gear she’s pack-ing her bags and leaving me until I “grow up”. You have no idea how much anxiety this produces, but when I actually do sit down to do the taxes, or anything complicated, it’s as though I’m a deer caught in headlights. I feel overwhelmed by how big the job is, I doubt I can wade through all the details, and I tell myself I’m going to take a little break and get back to it in an hour or so. Next thing I know it’s time for bed and the self-loathing and dread begin all over again! I’ve been to my family physician and he said I don’t meet the criteria for Attention De"cit Disorder (ADD), which is a

relief but still leaves me wondering why I can’t tough it out with more complicated jobs. Why do I do this, even though I hate it, and how can I stop? I can’t move forward in my life because of my own dumb self. Signed,Waiting for a miracle

Dear Waiting, First, I urge you to step back from the cat o’ nine tails with which you are whipping yourself to ribbons and look at your behaviors and their payo!s. While it’s good you can rule out ADD, such a diagnosis alone isn’t a pass in life for not taking care of business. People with ADD learn strategies for handling their responsibilities. Gaining strategies will be your golden ticket to making Uncle Sam, your wife, and ultimately yourself, happier. #ere are two aspects of procras-tination—the active phase and the passive phase. With the active pro-crastination phase you are engaged in all the behaviors keeping you distracted from your goals—the napping, watching television, day dreaming, drinking or drugging, or as a last measure, shaving the cat. #e passive phase is made up of your excuses, rationalizations, and promises you’ll get the ball rolling tomorrow. And tomorrow. And

tomorrow, yet again. Of course, the cosmic joke is all the e!ort you put into avoiding the job far outweighs the e!ort it would take to simply do the work. Everyone procrastinates to some degree, it’s just part of human nature to avoid pain. #e avoidance blooms into a problem when we chronically sabotage our goals, others lose faith in us, and our self-esteem does the death spiral. At the heart of avoid-ance may be perfectionism. Per-fectionists believe a task is so great, due to how huge they’ve mentally made the job; therefore they also imagine how well they will have to perform, which may feel daunting. #ere is immediate relief in blowing the whole thing o!. Whew, dragon has been met and now I can slowly back away. #at’s better. But, really, it’s not in the long run. #e dragon still waits in the lair, bigger and hotter than ever. Ways to face our fears of incom-petency are to break a job down into small, doable bites. I tell my clients we overestimate what we can do in a day, but underestimate what we can achieve in a week. Make the commitment to begin the task, but give yourself a time limit. An example is, “I will work on my taxes for twenty minutes today.” Our brains may feel this is a doable chunk of time, allowing us to relax and begin sorting through receipts

Ways to Avoid the Habit of AvoidingLeslie Answers advice

and W-2 forms. Before we know it, maybe forty-"ve minutes have gone by and we’ve made strong headway. It’s a great boost for perfectionists/procrastinators to just get started. Once the ball is rolling, then the next steps begin to %ow more naturally. A second trick I use personally is to tell myself I only have to do the job 80% well. #is allows wiggle room for the nagging part of my mind that demands I do a task perfectly or not at all. And again, once I’ve started

a job I can always go back through the "nished project to "ne-tune the details. But the hard work is behind me and the relief is all around me.

Veterans Post VFW news!" M#$% J&'()*

Regular readers are aware of the on-going project to improve a local, handicapped vet’s home to accommodate his shower facility for wheelchair and comfortable move-ment. !e Oak Hill VFW Post 4443 is supporting a ra"e to raise money for this work (about $5200). Ra"e tickets are being sold with 100 per-cent of the proceeds going directly to the project. !e ra"e prizes include a 50 inch HDTV, a gourmet-cook cast-iron cooking pan, and gift certi#cates. Some local merchants deserve special recognition for this worthy cause. For example, Whole Foods Marketing Manager Richard Gabaree has contributed gi$ baskets and also has agreed to put out jars at each cashier station for gi$s to the cause. So, if you visit the Whole Foods on Wm. Cannon, you’ll see the contribution jars. Also, special thanks go to Callahan’s, WalMart and Costco for their contributions. Tickets are still available. Call the VFW at 288-4443 or 626-0044.

****We are all aware of the continuous news regarding the US government’s cost-cutting measures for the new budget. You may also have noted that these potential cost cuts also a%ect compensation for disabled vets. !e cuts for disabled vets are proposed to follow the Consumer

Price Index (CPI). !is means, for example, for a 30 year-old vet with 100 percent disability will receive about $2300 reductions per year by the time he is 55 years old. Factor in the proposed cuts to Social Security, and a vet may be hard pressed to maintain any quality of life. If you think that a disabled vet has sacri-#ced enough, than drop a line or email to your representatives. By the way, you can #nd more about this and other veteran’s information at www.texascoalitionofvetorgani-zations.org !is web page also lists local jobs available to vets. Tyson Foods, for example, is o%ering jobs for vets.

****Speaking of budget cuts, it seems our elected representatives are more interested in preserving their local “pork” rather than the balance between keeping a strong defense and keeping jobs in their districts. For example, in the defense budget there is some $275 billion allocated to building the new F-35 jets, at $105 B each. Yet, more emphasis in both o%ensive and defensive weapons has shi$ed to drones. Drones have the advantage of being cheaper and if one goes down, there are no lives to be lost or no one to be held in POW camps. It would seem, then, that some of the expensive planes could be replaced by the cheaper drones. Another part of the budget

is devoted to building 280 more Abrams Tanks at $4.3 M per unit, even though the Army Chief of Sta%, Ray Odieino, stated to Congress, “!ese are 280 tanks we do not need.” !is is especially true since there are some 2000 tanks parked in storage in Lassen County, CA. !e tanks are built by General Dynamics which employs over 4000 workers. So, is our motive for continuous build-up of equipment that are not needed to keep our defense strong, or is it just to keep jobs? If it is the latter, than, erhaps, we should still be supporting Packard and Studebaker plants and keeping Detroit alive. To #nd out more about the defense budget, check out web site www.defense.gov.pdf.summary.

**** !ought of the day – A budget can tell us what we can’t a%ord but it doesn’t keep us from buying.

Whole Foods. Jeremy took his Wright Bros Dairy truck down to the Warehouse District around SXSW time and never looked back. He’s even getting reviews in Yelp I noticed. !e good news? !ey revamped the picnic area at Oak Meadow and it’s a lot better. You’ve "nally got some elbow room. Just be sure to park on the street.

Speaking of Oak Meadow, the Scenic Brook Community Garden Park is starting to look real good. !ey have a sign, they have mulch, and they have what look to be cemetery plots. !ey’re gonna plant something, by god. !ey also have plans for a new tennis court and a tetherball pole. A#er all these years, it’s nice to see something "nally improving there.

!e Wheeler Brothers "lmed a music video at the Pony League

baseball "eld on Hwy. 290 a couple of weeks ago. !ey baited the locals to join in as extras with the promise of free beer. Good enough for me. I don’t know much about the Wheeler Brothers, except that three of the "ve members in the band are actual brothers with the last name Wheeler. !ere’s !ree Wheeler, Dealer Wheeler, and Blue Healer Wheeler. I just made that up. Maybe I’ll start a band. Or a production company. Anyway, if you want to see what the ruckus is all about, point your browser to wheelerbrothersmusic.com. I have mixed feelings myself. Loved the Smothers Brothers. !e Osmonds? Not so much.

Spring has sprung with new life, much needed rain, buds in blooms, and what’s the deal with the signs on Scenic Brook Drive? So far, I’ve seen at least two of these signs, which read, “Tra$c calming approved for this street.

Continued from p. 5

The Word from Oak Hill neighborly newsInfo—call 311.” What? I’m not calling 311. Instead, I went to the city of Austin’s website. Here’s what I read: “!e Local Area Tra$c Man-agement program (LATM) is a request-based program to improve

the quality and safety of neighbor-hood streets. !is is achieved by installing tra$c calming devices along the requested street segments. !ese devices may include, but are not limited to, speed humps, speed tables, speed cushions, roundabouts, median islands, chicanes and bulb outs.”

Hmm. I think I might know what two of those things are. Maybe.

(Want your neighborhood asso-ciation highlighted? Have a story you need to tell? Would you like to rat out a neighbor? If so, be sure to email me at [email protected] and get the word out.)

!ese tra"c calming devices may include, but are not limited to, speed humps, speed tables, speed cushions, roundabouts, median islands, chicanes and bulb outs.

B! T. Q. J"#$%

As we’ve noted in the past, auto When we #rst got interested in cars the leading imports were from Europe, speci#cally Great Britain. !ey were quick, agile (and o$en fragile) road-sters and sport sedans and were com-plete opposites from the American cars of the period, which by contrast were lumbering beasts. Japanese cars were an unknown; if we thought of them at all we thought they imported their cars from countries that built really good cars, that is, the United States, and not-so-good cars, like England. !e idea of the Japanese building anything but copycat junk was ludicrous. In the late 1950s the Germans

began to make some inroads into the American market, which means the already outdated Volkswagen beetle took over the top spot in the hearts and minds of those willing to su&er the slings and arrows of their friends and neighbors by driving anything but an American car. !ey also took over the top spot in import sales. By the mid-

1960s anyone looking for a small car trundled o& to the VW dealer without regard to what else might be available, making it tough on those of us who at the time were peddling marques such as Sunbeam, Triumph and Fiat. Unbeknownst to us, the Japanese

were beginning to make some serious machinery, particularly motorcycles, and by the early 1970s Soichiro Honda was already arguing with his sta& over whether to build cars with air-cooled engines or water-cooled engines, an argument he would (fortunately for the future of Honda) lose. When the #rst “oil crisis” hit the

United States, catching us with a full inventory of two-ton gas guzzlers, the kind of cars Americans had always preferred and would continue to prefer (the best-selling car in 1973 and 1974 was the big Chevrolet, just as it had been for years) brie"y lost favor and the Japanese, who built only small cars for a world market, found themselves just as brie"y in demand. Within a few months it all blew over,

of course, and we went back to buy-

ing gas-guzzlers, a trend that has modi#ed some-what in recent years, mostly by replacing cars that guzzle gas with SUVs that guzzle gas, all the while griping about the high cost of fuel. But though most of us went back

to big cars, some of us did not, and all of us tended to remember how well-built those imports were and thought about them when we decided to buy a small car as a second car or a car for the kids to take to college. !e myth that Americans built the best cars in the world faded. What we have now is a better

balanced car market in the U. S., and domestic auto makers are building cars as good as any in the world. But we still have our favorites, even if there is a wider selection overall of quality cars. Heck, even the South Koreans are

getting into the act, but year in and year out, several brands rotate in and out of the top three. Honda is one of them, along with Toyota, Nissan, and our favorite overlooked dark horse, Mazda. In a sense, maybe in several senses,

the new Honda Accord re"ects the new balance in the domestic auto market, one car model that embodies both excess and frugality. At $33,140 the Accord EX-L coupe is a mid-size car with a mid-size price, mid-size performance and mid-size use of resources. But it is also an exceptional car in appearance, mixing driveway candy appeal with clean lines and V8 performance (278 horsepower from a 3.5-liter V6 with a six-speed automatic transmission).

!e new coupe mixes good fuel economy, not great fuel economy, with that performance in a way that makes you remember that it is Honda “MOTOR” Company; they mostly build engines, or at least concentrate on engines to good e&ect (a trait they share with Nissan). !e EPA rates the new Accord and

its new V6 at 21 miles per gallon in the city and 32 mpg on the highway. For a week of driving in mostly city tra'c (but no rush hour), we averaged 22.1 mpg, good enough that we’d bet the new Accord coupe would make the 32-mpg highway number, maybe do a little better. Not a gas miser, but not a guzzler either. Almost perfect balance.

Although many players were hurt during the season, the Crockett girls’ soccer team made the playo!s for the seventh consecutive year. “It was rough,” coach Ruben Botello said. “"e kids came through. "ey got it together.” Cedar Park cruised to a 9-0 victory over the brown and gold crew in the #rst round of the postseason. "e Lady Cougars played the entire 2013 campaign without Stephanie Rodriguez who led the team last year with 22 goals. Rodriguez sustained an ACL injury over the summer,

Another playo! year for Crockett!" P#$%&'( O)*+, while senior defensive captain Jor-

dan Leach su!ered a concussion during the third game of the year and missed the remainder of the season. Sophomore Emily Guillen also had a concussion and Annahi Aviles was out of action for #ve games with a knee injury. "e turning point for Botello’s war-riors occurred when Crockett faced a formidable foe in Ann Richards. “We had six starters out,” the coach explained. “"ey are a strong team and we beat them 2-1. "e girls played their hearts out. We focused on the skills the other players had

and we made adjustments with our attack and with the defense. We gained con#dence from that game.” Seniors Jarely Salinas and Rose Santillan picked up the slack of-fensively for Botello. “Jarely was reliable o!ensively and Rose scored critical goals at critical times,” said the coach. "e Lady Cougar de-fense remained strong with center mid-#elder delivering aggressive play and leading with exceptional passing. Five freshman earned considerable time on the #eld led by Mystee Altes who earned newcomer of the year honors in District 26-4A.

Maroons’ errors costly in loss to Chaps

!e Crockett girls’ soccer team made the playo"s for the seventh consecutive year.

Miscues in the #eld proved costly for the Maroons, as Westlake topped Austin High 10-5 at Burger Field "ursday. “We didn’t play defense very well,” coach Glenn Bacak aptly stated. “We gave them a bunch of runs and you can’t do that.” Five Maroon errors overall in the game, including two in the third inning, helped the Chaps put multiple runs on the board. Austin High (12-7, 3-3) built an early 3-1 advantage in the bottom of the #rst frame. Mitch Matthews single to center#eld with two outs and Nicholas Perez drew a base on

balls. An in#eld single by Andrew Pate scored Matthews and moved Perez to the corner. Perez then scored on a Westlake (17-7, 5-1) throwing error and Juan "ompson, pinch running for Pate, crossed the plate following a double to center by James Rodman. "e Chaps moved in front 6-3 with runs in the third and fourth innings before Austin High responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the #$h. Haden Hunt walked to initiate the rally and later scored on a Richard Cunningham hard hit ground ball single to center. A sacri#ce %y to right by Pate plated Cunningham.

Westlake added four insurance runs in the top of the seventh. Austin High now battles Lake Travis "urs-day at Burger with #rst pitch set to be thrown at 5 p.m. “We’re going to try and get the taste of the last game out of our mouth,” the Austin High coach added. “I think we can compete with anybody.” Pasqual Perez may take the mound for the Maroons a$er the 6’1” right-handed starter threw a one-hitter striking out eleven Cavaliers in the previous encounter with Lake Travis. “We’ll see how he feels,” Bacak said.

Batting leadoff, Bianca Van Vlerah o$en ignites the o!ensive attack for the Bowie so$ball team. “Bianca is a leader on our team,” coach Cathie Johnson-Landers said. “She leads us in stolen bases and she works each day to get bet-ter at practice.” "e positive vibes Bianca exudes helped the Lady Dawgs top Westlake recently to earn a tie for #rst place in district. A native of Austin, Bianca at-tended Casey Elementary before moving up to Bedichek Middle School where she also played

As the Austin High baseball team makes a run toward qualifying for the playo!s, Haden Hunt has returned to the lineup to provide speed on the base paths. “Haden is a leader on our team,” said coach Glenn Bacak. “He does everything you ask him to do and he dives, runs and works real hard in prac-tice.” Haden su!ered a hamstring injury during a dash to #rst base in a game versus Waco Midway. Now back to full speed, the speedy out#elder stole second base in a recent 10-5 loss to Westlake. Born in Lubbock, Haden attend-ed Small Middle School where

basketball and ran track. Van Vlerah played so!ball, basketball, volleyball and ran track as a freshman at Bowie before concentrating speci"cally on so!ball as a sophomore. She played second base until her senior year when a move to shortstop became necessary when friend Maddie Lionberger graduated and le! for Georgia Tech. “We were constantly talking in practice,” Bianca added. “I want to be just as good as her.”

AQR (Advanced Quantitative Reasoning) instructor Mrs. Flick is Bianca’s favorite teacher at Bowie. “I learn the most in her class,” Van Vlerah noted. “She’s a really good teacher.” Bianca’s fondest athletic memory at Bowie occurred when she hit her "rst career home run against Westlake. Close friend and cousin Blaire Luna provides a positive in#uence for Van Vlerah. “She always pushes me to achieve my goals,” Bianca added.

Following graduation, Van Vlerah will take her talent to Kilgore Junior College to help build a program that is currently in their "rst season of so!ball. A persistent positive atti-tude helped the Lady Dawgs earn a victory over the Chaps. “I am constantly up so my teammates can be up,” Van Vlerah said. “We were always positive. We played together as a team and picked each other up.” Bowie returns to action $ursday with a 5:30 p.m. tilt at Lake Travis.

he also played wide receiver for the Cougar football team. Upon arriving at Austin High, Hunt sustained a broken arm playing baseball as a freshman, and fully recovered in time for his junior season on the varsity. Last year he worked as a designated hitter for the "rst half of the season before settling in le! "eld. His favorite athletic moment

occurred last year when the Maroons beat "rst place Anderson with a late run. Academically, Haden’s fondest event in the classroom took place recently when he earned a B+ on a pre-calculus exam a!er missing class time with the baseball team participating in tournaments. Hunt enjoys working with the PALS (Peer Assisted Learning Strategies) pro-

gram. “We mentor kids at Rosedale and Zilker,” he explained. “It’s done wonders for me and it is an enlight-ening experience. It is something I may do a!er "nishing school…work with kids.” Haden’s older brother Truman played baseball for the Maroons and his older sister Mason competed on the Austin High girls’ lacrosse club. $e youngest of three children born to Diane and Trent Hunt, Haden has important advice for younger pupils aspiring to play varsity sports in high school. “Put your family "rst, your faith second and then academics and your teammates,” he stated. “Sports and academics go hand in hand because if you don’t pass, you don’t play.”

impact was the fact that Henric’s house was not covered by insurance. For those who didn’t experience the tragic !re, it may be di"cult to imagine such a scene while driving along the winding Scenic Brook hills on yet another sunny day in April, two years later. #e neighborhood is just about done with rebuilding and Lilly Henric’s house, reconstructed from the ground up with the help of many new friends, is standing once again. A volunteer re-building e$ort that was started by Henric’s neighbors—some worked through searing 100 degree summer heat—culminated in Henric moving back into her re-built home last year. Money raised by the Oak Hill Wild!re Relief Committee (residents of South Windmill Run and Scenic Brook neighborhoods) not only went into Henric’s house, but was also distrib-uted to other neighbors devastated by the !re. Last April, on the one-year anniver-sary of the !re, a group of residents launched the beginning stages of what will symbolize the spirit of the !re survivors and the friends and neighbors that rallied around them in their time of need. “#e Phoenix Rising,” a six by ten foot wall adorned with painted ceramic tiles decorated by Oak Hill residents, Austin students and police and !re departments, will be unveiled

Monument to neighbors helping neighborsContinued from p. 1 at Windmill Run Park at a May 5

dedication ceremony. Keep Austin Beautiful wrote a $2,500 grant for the project and Westar Construction donated the concrete. Fayez Kazi of Civiltude Engineers and Planners donated the plans and schematics for the wall. “It’s going to be a permanent re-minder of how wonderful people are a%er a destructive kind of element like !re,” said Kathy Morgan, one of the lead artists working on the project. “It brought a lot of tragedy to the neighborhood but what’s really awesome is how we now have a bunch of new friends. #ey live in our hearts.” Morgan, an Oak Hill resident since 1997, said neighbors helping one another in the a%ermath of destruction had a profound impact on the community. “I think it became apparent that people without insurance had more than they thought they did. At !rst I think it must feel empty and dev-astating and hollow and you don’t have anything, but I think over the months Lilly began to realize what she gained,” Morgan said. “I know that all of us who helped gained a lot because we have increased friends and neighborhood togetherness and I think that Lilly realized that she didn’t need the corporations and the insurance companies to help rebuild—we just needed each other. #at was really a beautiful thing.”

Henric, who also serves as a lead artist on the project, said she hopes the monument serves as a reminder of the kindness shown to her and fellow victims of the !re. “It’s not so much remembering the trauma, but rather how in bad times people do lend a hand, people do care about each other and show it—because sometimes you forget,” Henric said. “I hope it brings a smile to everybody, remembering the good that came out of that incident.” Wanda Montemayor, an art ther-apist and school counselor, said Morgan came to her because of her work on a mosaic mural at the Deep Eddy pool. “It started out as an idea of how can you keep their items and their spirits,” Montemayor said. “#ey wanted to take the images and the belongings of the people and I said well, ‘how can we translate that into something that’s more lasting?’” Montemayor listened to the stories and ideas of the !re victims and the design for the mosaic began taking shape. “From there it’s blood, sweat and tears and dedication and weekend workshops over and over making tiles,” Montemayor said. Participants were encouraged to design tiles that expressed their emotions throughout the !re and in the weeks and months a%er. Henric’s tile features a house with wide, fearing eyes, representing her reaction during the !re destruction of April 17, 2011. “#e stories come out,” said Connie

Justice, an Oak Hill resident and artist. “At !rst they’re intimidated by the art but then once they sit down and start making it the story starts &owing.” Justice was potting &owers in her yard the day of the !re. Within moments, the sky turned orange and started raining ash. “It didn’t look like our house was going to survive,” Justice said. “#e !reman told us that we were about 10 minutes from all of this being gone.” Morgan said she also feared the worse. “#e last thing I did before I le% this house is I kissed the door goodbye and said thank you for protecting us,” Morgan said. “I really felt like I was saying goodbye.” Even though her house survived, Morgan said the fear and uneasiness has yet to subside. “We have !re boxes now,” Morgan said, referring to a box of possessions to save in the event of a !re. “When we went to Savannah a few weeks ago for spring break we told the person if something happens to our house we have the !re box to take now.” Henric said the painful loss of her

home and belongings resulted in lifelong friendships with neighbors, such as Kathy Morgan. “Kathy was one of the !rst people that showed up at my house,” Henric said. “Everything was just such a mess and she was in here pulling out things—the muddy, God-awful carpeting. #at was my !rst contact with her, pulling carpet out of the house.” If “#e Phoenix Rising” represents Oak Hill’s regeneration in the af-termath of destruction, Henric is a living example. “In the !rst few days I felt like the world had ended. When you’re my age you kind of weed things out of your life and what you have le% is what’s really meaningful to you. To have all of that in a pile of ashes and muck, it’s just devastating,” Henric said. “To be able to be in my house again thanks to Kathy’s e$orts and the community, and be able to give a little bit back of all that was given to me is just a soul-saver. “#e year of rebuilding and the demolition and the efforts that went into getting my house back, I cherish it.”

“It’s going to be a permanent re-minder of how wonderful people are a!er a destructive kind of element like "re.” — Kathy Morgan, one of the lead artists working on the project.

Workman files bills to gut SOS, loosen tree protections2010 the Heritage Tree ordinance was passed, making it di!cult to remove heritage trees with diam-eters of 24 inches or more. Many embraced the new law, while others felt the ordinance was too restrictive. Rick Perkins of Granada Hills told the Gazette, “Many people saw the expanded Heritage Tree Ordinance as an over-reaching regulation by the City of Austin. It requires a City Council hearing to cut down a large diameter oak tree, which could have been handled in a less authoritarian method. "e modi#ed Heritage Tree Ordinance did not pass ‘the smell test’ when City Council approved it.” Clearly Rep. Workman agreed. His bill, HB 1858, would allow a property owner to remove any tree

Continued from p. 1 believed by that owner to pose a #re risk. As a former #re#ghter, Austin City Councilman Mike Martinez knows a thing or two about #re danger. He told the Gazette: “No one takes mitigating #re risk more seriously than I do. As a former #re#ghter, and an elected o!cial who saw the damage from the #res in and around Travis County in the last several years, I believe that our connected communities in Travis and surrounding counties must have a comprehensive, coordinated approach to reducing the risk of #re in the wildland urban interface.” However, Councilman Martinez sees a %aw in HB 1858. He said, “... I do not support ... state regulations limiting local jurisdictions’ ability

to create that type of plan. Limiting a local jurisdiction’s ability to pro-vide e&ective and uniform #re fuel mitigation should not be trumped by an individual’s ‘belief ’ that a tree might be a danger. We have profes-sionals that are both arborists and #re prevention professionals who can and should be involved in those conversations.” Scenic Brook area resident Carol Cespedes lost her home to the Pinna-cle Fire in 2011. She told the Gazette: “Bill 1858 causes me to wonder what world Rep. Workman is living in. "e world where I live needs stronger #re prevention codes that require own-ers to remove vegetation and debris that is a hazard to public safety. We have lived with the build-up of #re danger on undeveloped property because there is no way for the city or county to force a property owner to remove them. "at’s the problem our neighborhood is working on.” She said, “Workman’s bill … seems to create a loophole in some unnamed municipal code (such as those protecting heritage trees) so that an owner can simply declare a tree to be a #re hazard and get rid of it—without even #ling a notice much less getting a permit for re-moval. Watch out, oak trees!” Tom "ayer lives in the same area. He said: “"e bill may not be so bad if it is limited to only #re control measures, but it seems to go a little far in that it limits any regulations requiring notice. I could see it being abused—any inconvenient large tree removed could be justi#ed as ‘#re control,’ and I think there could be reasonable regulations controlling this from a city or county.” John Joseph supports HB 1858. Joseph is a director with the Coats Rose law #rm and heads the Real Es-tate, Land Use, Government A&airs and Banking Law section. He told the Gazette: “I support this bill. It is just plain common sense that one would be able to remove vegetation around one’s home or property that poses a threat of #re. I am a strong property rights advocate and see this as a very good step toward returning to the property owner control over one’s property and affirmatively recognizing the right of the prop-erty owner to take proactive steps to protect that property without burdensome and con#scatory gov-ernmental regulations.” But resident Beki Halpin pointed out: “Our mature trees are worth their weight in gold in what they give back to our city. Many aspects of private property are mitigated for the common good. For example, rights of way must be given for all sorts of

utilities; property owners are limited in how close to their neighbors they can erect a building; and everyone must keep his or her property in a clean and sanitary condition. All of these limit private property rights for the common good. Requiring prop-erty owners to retain mature trees for the common good is reasonable and in these days and times a good way to help counter the hot, dry, polluted conditions we are enduring.” "e bill was scheduled for public hearing this week in the House Business and Industry committee. House Bill 3087 requires that any law requiring a landowner to leave more than 50 percent of the property in a natural or undeveloped state require the consent of the owner or exercise of eminent domain requiring fair and reasonable com-pensation to the landowner. Much of the property in Oak Hill is subject to the SOS ordinance: “In order to prevent pollution, impervi-ous cover for all such development shall be limited to a maximum of 15 percent in the entire recharge zone, 20 percent of the contributing zone within the Barton Creek watershed, and 25 percent in the remainder of the contributing zone.” Austin Independent School District (AISD) o!cials have said that pur-chasing property for a high school in Southwest Austin is di!cult be-cause of this restriction. AISD Board Member Robert Schneider told the Gazette that any change to the law would not initially a&ect AISD be-cause of a city agreement. He said, “AISD has a Land Development Agreement (LDA) with the City that controls how we develop property when we build a school. "e LDA controls just about everything to do with a property the district develops from the impervious cover restric-tions to height of buildings. Since the LDA is with the City, the bills that are currently in the legislative process will not have a direct immediate impact on AISD as the LDA with the City would have to be renegotiated in some way.” Schneider said it is not clear if the bill would help AISD develop properties in Southwest Austin. He said, “If the bills by Rep. Workman are passed one would think that the district would be in a better position to develop properties for education-al purposes. Since the City controls the development process, though, it will be di!cult to predict exactly what development rights will be available to the district that we do not have now.” Joseph said of HB 3087, “I enthu-siastically support this legislation

and commend Rep. Workman for his uncommon leadership in this regard. For years cities and counties, in my opinion, have been placing undue and illegally disproportionate obligations on individual property owners. "ere is a concept in the law called rough proportionality which, simply put, says that a government may not require a developer/owner to contribute money or require the conveyance of property or other thing of value for public infra-structure without #rst making a determination that the proposed development will have a roughly proportionate impact on the public infrastructure.” He added, “In addition, if water quality is important to the public then the public, as a whole, should pay for it through taxes or fees and the burden should not be placed solely on the property owner or developer.” However, some expressed dismay that the state should try to usurp the authority of local municipalities. "ayer said, “"e bill is terrible Aus-tin-bashing legislation that limits democratically elected o!cials in cities and counties from planning for and managing growth. It is disappointing that Rep. Workman doesn’t believe in local control of these issues and thinks the Legisla-ture knows best how each city plans for growth.” Added Halpin, “As Austin grows like gangbusters we are facing problems of increasing severe heat, too little water and deteriorating air quality. We should be working to do everything we can to minimize these problems, but Paul Workman’s proposed bills, if passed, will likely make them worse.” Local resident Ralph Lake said, “I do not believe that Paul Workman is representing most of the liberal side of Austin. He seems to be pro-de-veloper and de#nitely following the GOP party line favoring growth at any cost to the environment and the principles that make Austin a special place to live. He is not acting on our behalf.” Halpin said, “Austin has given a lot of thought to protecting its water-sheds and aquifers. Going forward, we will need every bit of clean water we can get for the citizens of Austin and central Texas to drink and use. "e ordinances Austin has put in e&ect to protect our water are an appropriate way to balance growth with our need to protect our water sources. "ese ordinances obviously have not impeded growth substan-tially since Austin is one of the fastest

According to the event’s Dan Kirkby, an international panel recommend-ed Bowie’s participation. “It will be the time of their lives,” he told the Gazette. Robert Bone, executive director of the parade, invited people to “like” the event on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Lnydp?fref=ts. Assistant Director Stephen Howard said one thing was sure: “We won’t be going there by bus.” Shuttlesworth said the band’s instruments would be shipped in a huge container that will arrive in London before the band. “Once we get there via two "ights, our instruments will be there waiting on us,” she said. !e band—and family members—have more than a year to raise funds for the trip.

growing cities in the nation. Cities and counties should be able to make local decisions about the important issues like water quality and should not have the state come in like big brother to e!ectively forbid it.” "e bill was referred to the House Land and Resource Management committee on March 19. Austin has had a Project Duration Ordinance that gave building per-mits an expiration date of three years if no signi#cant progress was made. Rep. Workman introduced HB 3091 to force Austin to comply with the state requirement of #ve years. Last week the Austin City Council voted to repeal the ordinance, but Councilman Martinez disagrees with the introduced bill. He said, “Anyone who loves Austin and the surrounding areas knows that our community is beautiful and eco-logically fragile. Austin has spent many years developing land use laws that have been publicly vetted and correspond with public votes—a process that continues to evolve as we work to provide regulations that are consistent with state law and best protect our community. I cannot support state law that limits our ability to provide protections for our environment through the land use process that we enjoy as a home rule city or legislation that makes cities liable for damages and attorney’s fees as a result of development disputes.” He added, “While not everyone is happy with how Austin does business, and I know we have some changes that we need to make, those changes are best le$ to local o%cials who have been put in public o%ce to make these decisions.” Joseph supports HB 3091, explain-ing, “Since the inception of Chap 245 of the Local Government Code by the legislature, local governments have tried to #nd ways to avoid

bill seeks to prevent municipalities from overreaching their authority and provides individuals with rem-edies if a local government refuses to comply with state law.” Rep. Workman, along with more than 60 of his colleagues, has co-au-thored House Bill 553, “relating to #rearms and the preservation of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution.” The senseless murder of 20 #rst-graders and 6 adults in New-town, Connecticut, last December has brought potential gun controls to the forefront of the federal gov-ernment. In a January 18 press release, Rep. Workman said, “Texas has a long and proud history of responsible gun ownership, sportsmanship, and upholding its citizens’ right to self-defense. It is incumbent for us as legislators to protect the rights of Texans from Washington overreach, and I am proud to join my colleagues in doing just that.” Workman’s bill would actually make it a crime for Texans to obey federal gun control laws. Oak Hill resident Paul Robbins said, “Since federal legislation overrides state legislation, there is no way it can be legally valid if passed. It is kind of ironic that Workman can use state legislation to override local governments, but not tolerate the same thing when federal legislation trumps state law.” "ayer added, “"e bill is just silly as it would have no bearing on any federal legislation and only federal courts could restrict any federal gun control legislation. Regardless of your opinion on gun control measures, this bill is a waste of time.” "e House Select Federalism and Fiscal Responsibility committee may have agreed. "e bill was le$ pending on March 13.
