NOVEMBER 2011 | VOLUME 1 | ISSUE 3
DEER SEASON IS HERENovember through December is deer
season in Texas. For some outdoor enthusiasts, that means hunting. For many animal and nature lovers, however, it is the best deer-watching season of the year. Late fall is the time of year when bucks have grown their antlers and fawns are on the move with their mothers. It is also the deer-mating season, known as the “rut.” During this season deer are most active and more likely to run and bolt, so it is a time of year to use extra caution in areas where deer are present.
Aust in i s one of very few large cities in Texas where you can still experience urban deer.
Northwest and southwest Austin are home to most of our remaining neighborhood herds. Many area residents enjoy the deer’s charismatic presence and quiet beauty. Young parents report finding teachable moments in watching does care for their fawns, while for seniors interaction with the deer can be life affirming. Others simply value the opportunity to observe wildlife living freely as they go about such daily business as walking the dog or driving to work.
DeerAustin is a group of Austin neighbors
and animal lovers who are committed to living compatibly with urban wildlife and especially to protecting and preserving Austin’s urban deer herds. Visit us at www.DeerAustin.org. We are providing the following information that is helpful to
keep in mind during deer season:• Always walk dogs on
leashes. •Observe the speed limit.
Be extra cautious when deer or deer crossings signs are present and when driving from dusk to dawn.• To report an injured deer, call the Game Warden at 389-
4848 or Austin 311.•To report a dead deer for
pickup, call Austin 311. Be prepared to give the operator
an address or otherwise be able to describe the location of the deer (for example, “Loop 360 just north of Spicewood” or “the intersection of Mesa and Greystone”).
• If you need additional help – email [email protected]. We hope you enjoy the fall season and the
opportunity to interact with deer that is a part of what makes Austin a special place to live. Please take care, enjoy the wildlife, and Keep Austin Deered!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Austin Kindergarten Student Picked National Poster Child!By Connie Ripley
Five year old Max Whitney, kindergarten student at Rutledge Elementary, is named the 2012 National Poster Child for Autism Speaks. Max’s picture was chosen from hundreds of entries by a New York advertising firm hired by Autism Speaks.
The announcement comes just as the Greater Austin Walk broke all goals and records for the local walk on the 24th with about 4,000 participants. The local Walk has thus far raised over $140,000 in support of Autism Speaks’ work, both locally and nationally, to increase awareness about the growing autism health crisis and fund innovative autism research and family services.
More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with AIDS, diabetes and cancer combined, yet only 0.5% of the budget of the National Institute of Health goes to autism research. The research falls to private funding—like Autism Speaks, North America’s largest autism science and advocacy organization.
Children with autism are normally fixated on one or two things. Max loves car washes and tornados (after watching The Wizard of Oz). He has his own “Favorites” on the computer where he goes and “studies” car washes and tornados for as long as his parents will allow. (A timer is always set.)
Many children with autism have food allergies and extreme food preferences. Max has both. He is allergic to milk products and eggs. He is on a casein-free, egg-free diet with a big accent on organics. He will only eat foods that are tan. He loves chicken nuggets and breads that are egg and casein-free with an occasional bite of broccoli or avocado. Peanut butter, applesauce and banana are also high on his list. (His mother, Traci Whitney, purees carrots and spreads them under the peanut butter. She also purees tofu and white beans with casein-free butter to pour over pasta.)
Recent research has shown that the bodies of many children with autism are not able to rid their body of toxins and metabolize some of the vitamins and minerals they consume. Max has shown improvement with Glutathione, Methyl B12 and Folinate cream rubs and DMG orally, plus a super multi-vitamin.
Max is totally integrated into a normal kindergarten classroom with the help of an aide provided by the school district, Andrea Sour. His favorite time at school is “eating”. He eats almost the same thing every day. His least favorite is writing in his journal. He has great difficulty with fine motor skills and holding a pencil.
