AISD set for big reveal on bonds AUSTIN - Bowie theater and music arts directors, who recently presented their case to AISD o!cials concerning the overused and rundown state of their arts facilities, and the need for renova-t ions , wi l l know soon if they made the first cut for funding in a potential 2013 bond program.

Citizens can voice their opinions at that January 22nd public hearing, to be held at Crockett High School at 6:30 p.m. Still another public hearing on the potential bond is slated for January 29th at Reagan High School at 6:30 p.m. Part of the overall bond discussion is the potential for "ne arts facil-ity improvements in the district. Theater and music department directors at Bowie High School have been outspoken about the need for renovations in the school’s "ne arts department. Greg Goodman, director of "ne arts for AISD, led a presentation on the potential "ne arts bond relief for the entire district at a public hearing last month, and said the response from the public and the Citizens Bond Advisory Committee has been

encouraging. “I’ve only heard very positive stu! about the "ne arts and that people appreciated the detail of the needs in the report,” Goodman said. “#ey felt good about the ask and the justi-"cation for "ne arts.” Goodman said he identi"ed the district’s "ne arts needs to total around $93 million but approached the Citizens Bond Advisory Committee requesting approximately $31 million. Betsy Cornwell, theatre director at Bowie High School, said recent-ly that the theatre department is plagued by both space and mainte-nance issues. “Walls are no longer holding shelves, the plaster is falling o! the walls because of water leakage and, as far as space, we’re having to beg to store the accumulation of 25 years of props and costumes almost any place

AISD set for big reveal on bondsContinued from p. 1 we can "nd on campus,” Cornwell

said at an AISD December 6 public hearing held at Bowie. “We just don’t have enough space.” Bowie High School orchestra director Giovanna Cruz said at that meeting that the school’s limited rehearsal space is a major obstacle for her students. Goodman said in many ways, Bow-ie’s "ne arts department is a victim of its own success. #e programs are so popular among students the facilities can barely contain those enrolled, as evidenced by the Bowie marching band, which enrolls over 400 students in a facility built for about 120. Robert Schneider, a member of the AISD Board of Trustees who represents most of the Oak Hill area, said some board members are pushing for early completion so the bond may be included on the ballot

on May 11. “#ere’s a strong desire by some board members to have this be done in May of 2013. To do so, we have to make a "rm decision on exactly what’s in the bond, the proposition language, that kind of thing, by March 1 of this year,” Schneider said. “So literally it leaves less than 60 days to make up your mind on what you want in the bond, how much, what the propositions are going to be, the whole thing. #at’s really one of my concerns. Sixty days is not a lot of time and it’s certainly not what, historically, the district has done in terms of preparing bonds to send out to the public.”

AUSTIN - AISD has some extra money le$ over from previous bond programs and is looking for ideas on how to use it. Members of the public will have the opportunity to o!er their ideas to the Austin Independent School District (AISD) Board of Trustees during a public hearing Monday evening at 6:40 p.m. at the Board Auditorium in the Carruth Administration Center. #e hearing will focus on possible board action regarding the usage of contingency funds from the 2004 and 2008 surplus bond program. #e board is considering reallocat-

contingency funds. Robert Schneider, a member of the AISD Board of Trustees who represents most of the Oak Hill area, said the contingency funds serve as a safety net for the bond program. “#e contingency funds are built into our bonds as a way to make sure that costs overruns or in%ation and those types of things don’t eat into our ability to provide what we said we were going to provide in a bond package,” Schneider said. “So what’s been going on for several years now with the economy being the way it is—with interest rates and those

types of things—we’re actually able to complete bonds under what we thought we might be able to do. We have money le$ over in contingency and we’re trying to allocate how those funds get used.” Schneider said the additional funds are o$en used for projects that were passed over in the original bond. “When we realize that we have money available through the contin-gency funds, we’ll go back through and take a look at a list of things that are still outstanding in some way,” Schneider said. “#ere might be schools that need roof repair work that were at the bottom of the list

before. In other words, they didn’t quite make it to the top of the list of being speci"ed for exact work, but they were on the list of things that were being considered.” Schneider said the surplus money is primarily reserved for maintenance issues within schools, such as roof replacements and air conditioner improvements. “#e primary purpose of the use of the contingency funds is to make sure they honor the intent of the original bond. So if you have money that’s le$ over that was intended to be for repairing roofs or all those

kinds of issues that we identi"ed in the original bond, it’s perfectly legitimate, the bond council has told us, to go ahead and use those monies to do the additional work because we have the money avail-able,” Schneider said. Bond money is o$en the only saving grace for schools with serious maintenance issues, Schneider said. “Unfortunately the pattern has been that when we have mainte-nance needs they fall to something like a bond,” Schneider said. “#e end result is you’re le$ with schools

ACROSS FROM CLINT SMALL MIDDLE SCHOOL

AND ADJACENT TO PATTON ELEMENTARY

austinbraces.com

I know that sounds a bit grandiose but it is, indeed, the end of an era in my life. After 13 years of running the Postal Annex store, I’m ready to move on. As of January 21, I will join the ranks of the retired!

This has been a very enjoyable era for me. Before I bought the store, I was actually rather reclusive. I didn’t think I liked people much. I found out I was wrong. The people who came through my doors became my community.

I have met and associated with so many dear people through these years. They began as customers but I came to view them as friends. I came to know them and their families’ stories and they came to know mine. We commiserated with each other’s worries about our kids and our health. We joked about our husbands. We saw each other through periods of grief and illness, shared our pride in our families’ accomplishments, and enjoyed a lot of laughs over these years.

Truth be told, these last few years a lot of my stories amounted to whining about my various aches and pains. With the back and neck problems I have, moving boxes all day really isn’t smart. These last few years especially, we’ve become a bit of a do-it-yourself store. So many of our customers began to lift their boxes onto the scales and even carry them to the back so I wouldn’t have to. I !nally had to admit it was time to give it up.

And just as I made that decision, that I was !nally ready to retire, God sent a lovely young man through my front door who was looking for just such a store to buy. His name is Jose Ancer. We both felt this transition was meant to be. He is just beginning a new era in his life.

Those of you who came in during Christmas may have met him. He worked with us during December while we were waiting for Postal Annex to approve him to take over my franchise as well as all the other details of the sale. We didn’t want to announce him as the new owner until we were sure the deal would go through. We have !nally ironed out all the details and Jose will become the owner on January 21.

Jose is an intelligent, pleasant young man who has run a similar business before, with much success, even winning awards in his !eld. I am con!dent that he will make a complete success of this store. I know he will continue to give the same level of customer service that we always tried to give. Please don’t worry that he will make sweeping changes right away. He has no such plans. He intends to proceed cautiously.

I think back to when I bought the store from Rick Morgan back in 2000. Rick was a jovial man with a big, booming laugh. He was a man’s man, talking hunting and !shing and such. When I took over, there were quite a few of his customers (mostly male) who resented me, and felt compelled to tell me so. They didn’t like me bringing in all these gifts and making the store so “girly”. They terri!ed me. But over time, they got used to me. Many of them are still customers and not nearly so terrifying now that I know them. My point is, I know transitions are hard. No one hates change more than me. But I know that, as you get to know Jose, you will become just as fond of him as you have been of me and “the Girls”.

And what about the Girls? Diane and Denise are going to stay on with Jose. Gloria will stay a short while until he !nds new employees, then she, too, will join us retirees.

I want to thank all our customers for their business and their friendship. I will miss seeing you all. I get weepy when I think about it. I wish you all happiness and prosperity in the coming year.

And I thank you for this era of my life.

Our winter trip—to the tune of ‘!e Beverly Hillbillies’ theme

Roger White

Come and listen to a story ’bout a man named Rog,For their winter getaway got the car out the garage,Packed the family up and drove to Santa Fe,But here’s some weird stu! that happened on the way.

’Bout "ve in the morning just outside Fredericksburg,With temperature readings like an Arctic iceberg,Steering got squirrelly and a tire went POP,Two hundred bucks later we leave the tire shop.

On I-10 past Sonora I decide to take a snooze,Wifey’s at the wheel, what have I got to lose?I wake and we’re smack in the middle of nowhere,Fi#y miles from a town with no gas to spare.

Fort Stockton’s now roughly thirty miles away,With the “Empty” light on we both begin to pray,$en out of nowhere an Exxon comes in sight,We laugh and we cry and soon forget our plight.

Up 285 into old New Mexico,Night begins to fall and the wind begins to blow,$ere in the darkened road with no time to stop,We almost run over a New Mexico cop.

Fuzz, that is. Black uniform. Gun and all.

Well, the next thing ya know we’re into Santa Fe,Wife and I relax while the girls go

out to play,We realize we’re now about a thou-

sand in the hole,For Christmas, we "g-ure, we’ll give the girls coal.

Anthracite, that is. Black fuel. Fossilized carbon.

Heading back to Texas we drive all day and night,With fast food in our bellies the car sure smells a might,We all begin to wonder

why this far we did roam,Next year we "gure it’s best to just stay home.

!e word from Oak Hill is... food. Finally got to visit Café Malta, and I wasn’t disappointed. I can honestly say there’s not a restaurant like it in Southwest Austin. Upscale with white tablecloths, a full bar, an in-triguing menu—it’s not cheap, but not prohibitively expensive either. My date and I shared three appe-tizers, Tuna Carpaccio, Pei Mussels, and Ravioli. $e Tuna Carpaccio consisted of seared yellow"n, thinly

sliced and dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, green onion & fresh black-eyed peas for nine dollars. $e Pei Mussels were steamed in gar-lic, shallots, butter and Texas Chenin Blanc and served with homemade baguette for ten dollars. Finally, the Ravioli, which tasted unlike any other ravioli I’ve ever

tasted, consisted of fresh homemade pasta "lled with goat cheese and butternut squash, tossed in toasted Texas pecan brown butter for nine dollars. I’ve found the three mentioned appetizers at other restaurants in Southwest Austin, but I’ve never found them

all three of them on the same menu. And I’ve never found them quite so distinctly prepared either. Of course, we had drinks with the appetizers. My date drank the Cantine Paolini Nero d’Avola from Sicily, Italy which she enjoyed very much, and I had the Estrella Damm beer from Barcelona which tasted damm good. However, it was served in a brandy sni#er. Look. I want my dra# beer in a pint glass, just charge me more

Austin Energy has launched the return of the Best O$er Ever by once again o$ering an opportunity for residents to receive both rebates and a loan to make energy-e#ciency improvements to their home. %e rebates can be as much as $3,200 or more – the most ever of-fered – and cover as much as a third of the cost of making whole-house improvements to a home including installing a new air conditioner. %e remainder of the balance can be !nanced with a low-interest loan from an Austin Energy participat-ing lender. %e Best O$er Ever – !nanced in part by a federal grant awarded Austin Energy – is available through March 31,2013 when prices are low-er and heating and air conditioning companies have greater availability for energy-e#ciency work. All of these bene!ts add up to huge savings for residents including cutting costs by a third for air conditioning use in the summer with a new, e#cient unit. Incentives include Austin Energy’s standard rebates plus a $200 winter bonus and an additional $500 rebate from the federal grant. Texas Gas Service customers may also qualify for up to $500 in rebates for a total of as much as $3,200 when customers make all the recommended Home Performance with Energy Star im-

STEPS TO PREVENT FLU "e CDC recommends a yearly !u vaccine for everyone six months of age and older as the #rst and most important step in protecting some-one against !u viruses. In addition to getting vaccinated, the Red Cross has some simple steps people can take to help prevent the spread of the !u virus. Parents can also practice

Red Cross urges everyone to get a flu shot NOW!these things with their kids to help keep them well:· Cover the nose and mouth with a tissue or sleeve when coughing or sneezing, and throw the tissue away a$er use. If a tissue isn’t available, cough or sneeze into the elbow, not the hands.· Wash hands o$en, especially a$er coughing or sneezing. If soap and water are not available, use an al-cohol-based hand-rub.· Avoid touching the eyes, nose or mouth.· Avoid close contact with people who are sick.· Stay home if sick.

SIGNS OF THE FLU How does someone know they have the !u? "e common signs of in!uenza are high fever, severe body aches, headache, being extremely tired, sore throat, cough, runny or stu%y nose, and vomiting and/or di-arrhea (more common in children). If someone in the household does come down with the !u, the Red Cross wants everyone to know the best way to care for them:· Designate one person as the care-giver and have the other household members avoid close contact with that person so they won’t become sick.· Make sure the person stays at home and rests until 24 hours a$er the fever is gone.· Designate a sick room for the per-

son if possible. If there is more than one sick person, they can share the sick room if needed. If there is more than one bathroom, designate one for those who are sick to use. Give each sick person their own drinking glass, washcloth and towel.· Keep the following either in the sick room or near the person: tis-sues, a trash can lined with a plastic trash bag, alcohol-based hand rub, a cooler or pitcher with ice and drinks, a thermometer and a cup with straw or squeeze bottle to help with drinking. A humidi#er will provide extra moisture, making it easier for the sick person to breathe. Sick people should wear a facemask, if available, when they leave the sick room or are around others.· Give plenty of liquids (water and other clear liquids) at the #rst sign of !u and continue throughout the illness. People with the !u need to drink extra !uids to keep from getting dehydrated.· Treat fever and cough with med-icines that can be purchased at the store. Remember, when children are ill they should never be given aspirin or products containing aspirin - es-pecially with the !u.· If the person gets very sick, is pregnant or has a medical condi-tion (like asthma) that puts them at higher risk of !u complications, call their doctor. "ey may need to be examined and might need antiviral medicine to treat the !u.

· Keep everyone’s personal items separate. All household members should avoid sharing pens, papers, clothes, towels, sheets, blankets, food or eating utensils unless cleaned between uses.· Disinfect doorknobs, switches, handles, computers, telephones, bedside tables, bathroom sinks, toilets, counters, toys and other surfaces that are commonly touched around the home or workplace.· Wash everyone’s dishes in the dishwasher or by hand using very hot water and soap.· Wash everyone’s clothes in a standard washing machine. Use detergent and very hot water, tumble dry on a hot dryer setting and wash hands a$er handling dirty laundry.· Wear disposable gloves when in contact with or cleaning up body !uids. CALL THE DOCTOR If someone thinks they have the !u,

their health-care provider should be consulted. Seek medical care imme-diately if the person develops any of the following symptoms:· Fast breathing, trouble breathing or bluish skin color.· Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen (adults).· Confusion or sudden dizziness.· Not drinking enough !uids, not being able to eat, or severe or per-sistent vomiting.· Flu-like symptoms that improve but then return with fever and worse cough.· Not waking up, being so irritable that the child does not want to be held or not interacting (children).· Fever with a rash (children).· No tears when crying or signi#-cantly fewer wet diapers than normal (children). More information about how to help protect loved ones during this !u season is available on redcross.org.

B! T. Q. J"#$%

When the redesigned Chevrolet Camaro came out a few years ago, there were essentially only two complaints. "ose who expected a “retro” Camaro along the lines of the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger were disappointed, but Chevy never intended to build a retro Camaro, though they may be rethinking that decision. "e other complaint, which was

almost instant as the cars got into the hands of both the public and the auto reviewers, was that the view through the very narrow side windows was so restricted that it reminded many (including this reviewer) of the view out of an army tank. It’s possible that Chevy was shooting

for a kind of visual hybrid of a sports coupe and a street-modi#ed low rider. Either way, the Camaro was pretty much a hit or a miss, depending on the viewer. Most cars and trucks do fall into that category (along with a lot of other things): beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Don’t take it the wrong way, though. "e styling isn’t a safety issue, and it’s likely that buyers get used to the nar-rower windows within about a week, no longer than it takes to get used to the di$erent feel of any other car. (Didn’t your last new car feel weird to you for the #rst few days or a week? What Chevy did build, by the rules of

the early hot rod crowd, is a street rod: normal outside but with a rocket motor dropped into the available space under the hood. Later they were called “mus-cle cars,” as they were stronger on the street than “stock” cars. Chevy didn’t exactly create the category, though the Camaro and Ford Mustang were the #rst manufacturer-built hot rods a%er the Pontiac GTO, brain child of John DeLorean. But what we have in this 2013

Chevrolet Camaro, a 2LT with the RS package, is a muscle car for the young married with fewer than two kids. It’s kind of a “toned-down” muscle car, packing a V-6 under the hood and also coming equipped with all of the comfort the small family would have

if they had chosen a mid-size sedan, coupe or five-door hatchback, though with not quite the room. On the other

hand, at $32,615 it is priced about the same as a mid-size sedan with the same equipment and the V-6 en-gine pumps out about 320 horsepower while getting an EPA estimated 18 miles per gallon in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. "at’s with a six-speed automatic transmission, too. "e EPA says with the standard transmission, (also a six-speed and about 1,200 bucks cheaper), the 3.6-liter V6 should do about 29 mpg on the highway. We averaged 18.4 mpg in just city driving. Inside, as we said, the Camaro was

equipped as well as the usual mid-size sedan. It had variable ratio power steering, power seats (heated seats up front), traction control, anti-lock four-wheel disc brakes, stability con-

It looks a lot like an episode of the hit TV show Shark Tank: teams of nervous but well-prepared budding entrepreneurs pitching their best new product and business ideas to a group of seasoned investors. !e dif-ference is that these are juniors and seniors from St. Michael’s Catholic Academy’s Entrepreneurship Cen-ter, the investors are local business professionals, and the boardroom pitch is their "nal exam. !e Intro to Entrepreneurship class at St. Michael’s is the foundation of the well-recognized Center that also includes multiple business-related "eld trips, Summer Internships, a Job Shadowing Program, and the continuing class Entrepreneurship 201. “!e critical thing about these class-es is that our students learn through real-life experiences,” explains Sonia Gaillard, Director of the SMCA program. “Their over-reaching assignment in a semester-long class is to recognize an opportunity and develop a business plan for a product or idea that responds to that need. “Opportunity recognition is a learned and practiced skill, as is the ability to turn that opportunity into a viable business,” Gaillard continues. “By spending a semester or two recognizing and practicing entrepreneurial skills, St. Michael’s students leave high school with experiences that put them ahead of the curve. !ey are problem-solvers, prepared for rigorous collegiate

Most importantly, they see them-selves as solutions.” For instance, time was spent study-ing the unique economic opportuni-ties brought to bear by Formula One Racing coming to Austin. Students may interview their parents, grand-parents, and neighbors – looking for unanswered product or social needs. “We spend weeks running various scenarios, brainstorming. !e best of these ideas are funneled into SWOT analysis,” said Gaillard. “Strengths, weaknesses, opportuni-ties, and threats. Students compare and contrast their ideas against the competitive landscape and conduct targeted market research. Just that exercise really gets them out of their comfort zone and helps them learn to deal with rejection in a safe environment.” !e SMCA Entrepreneurship Center for Economic and Social Innovation, or Entre Center as it’s called around campus, is modeled on similar programs found in col-leges across the nation and is the only one of its kind in an area high school. !e Center connects St. Michael’s students with professional mentors who believe the “entrepre-neurial spirit” can be taught and are willing to volunteer their time in the classroom developing student leaders. “As our student teams begin to form their business ideas, they also deter-mine the types of consulting support

As guard for the Crockett girls’ basketball team, Darcy Lof plays an important role for a Lady Cou-gar team intent on pressing defen-sively and scoring with multiple fast break opportunities. “Darcy has improved tremendously on the basketball court from the time she started our program as a freshman. Most of that can be attributed to her work ethic and internal drive for success,” coach Jennifer Shuttlesworth said. “She transfers that same drive for suc-cess to the classroom.”

Patterning his game a!er NBA stars Steve Nash and Chris Paul, Austin High point guard Matt Jones runs the Maroons basket-ball o"ense with e#ciency. “Matt has an extremely high GPA and high basketball IQ,” coach Andy Dudney said. “He is like a coach on the $oor.” A native of Austin, Jones attended Patton Elementary before pro-gressing to Small Middle School where he also played football and ran track. Following a freshman year when he played quarterback and receiver for the freshman football team, Jones focused on hoops exclusively. “Since I was real young, it has always been my

Recent scrimmages against Belton, Round Rock and Georgetown have the Bowie girls’ soccer club ready to open the regular season at the Ranger Classic in Smithson Valley. “Our scrimmages are always tough because everyone else has an athletic period and we don’t,” coach Carrie Ho!man-Howell candidly admit-ted. “In each game from beginning to end, we gradually got better and better. "e kids grew up literally. "ey are starting to come together.

Although the Austin High girls’ soccer club lost a dozen players to graduation, the team returns key contributors to the Lady Maroons success with Audrey Kuhl, Libby Fish, Catherine Schram and goalie Kortney Trevino. “We have a nice center line going right down the middle,” coach Dee-na Telley said. A#er a scrimmage with P$ugerville on Monday, Telley’s crew opens the regular season next

Lauren Taylor returns from an ACL injury to work in the goal with Ken-dall Janke, who is recovering from a concussion. “I have two strong junior goal keepers,” the coach noted. Lady Dawg fullbacks include Kelli Culp, Amanda Marquette, Katherine Serrano, Caroline Klein and Elise Westmoreland. Caroline Graham works at the center mid-%eld spot while Abby Ables recovers from a knee injury. Jordan Leeper, Alex Jansen, Kathryn Mayo and Mae

Henson also operate at the mid%eld positions. Sydney Ribelin and Reina Trejo, who both scored two goals and had a pair of assists last year, hold down the striker spots, with Audrey Baker also contributing up front. Ho!man-Howell is pleased with the camaraderie of her crew. “"ey get along well together,” the coach added. “It makes them play harder for one another. "ey don’t want to let each other down.”

Austin rebuilds around key players!" P#$%&'( O)*+, weekend on the road at the I-10

Shootout in Katy. Kuhl joins Meredith Curran, Na-talia Norris and Sydney Brignole on the front line at the forward spots. Brignole and Kuhl both scored goals recently in a scrimmage versus Stony Point. Madison Tumicki, a regional quali%er in cross-country this past fall, will work at the mid%elder position with Schram and Fish. Ma-roons fullbacks include freshman Hailey Heal, Teresa Gordon, Sara

Lozano-Sanchez, Meredith Jamail and Claire Levatino, who had an assist from the back line in the Stony Point scrimmage. Telley has three freshmen and a pair of sophomores on the 2013 team, and will look to a junior var-sity contingent for more defensive additions. “We’re trying to %nd out where people will %t,” the coach said. “We’re focused on team work since we have a lot of new people.”

A huge third quarter propelled Austin High past Bowie in the teams’ second district game. “At hal#ime we were up by only four points, but we made some adjustments and it paid o! for us,” Austin coach Andy Dudney said. “We got back to our style of defense, ball pressure, and

Maroons top Dawgs 57 to 26!" P#$%&'( O)*+, cleaned up the glass.”

Dorian Parks led the Maroons with 17 points, while Cole Carper contributed a dozen points. Austin High put 20 points on the board in the third period, with a single free throw by Bowie’s Callaghan O’Ri-elly constituting the entire Bowie o!ensive production in the quarter.

"e Maroons closed out the game with another impressive perfor-mance at the charity stripe as Matt Jones combined with Parks to sink nine of ten free throws down the stretch. Bowie (13-8, 0-2) hosts Lake Travis on Friday with Austin High (17-5, 2-1) visiting Westlake.

And it gets even better. Customers can receive an additional $650 to $850 in rebates if they agree to have their home undergo rigorous energy performance testing before and af-ter the improvements are made to quantify actual energy savings. !e added rebates are based on whether the home can achieve energy savings of between 20% and 30% with all the recommended improvements made. Participating in the Home Perfor-mance with Energy Star program is easy. Customers can contact any of the more than 50 participating companies listed on Austin Energy’s Web site at www.austinenergy.com and ask for a free energy analysis. The participating company will go over the Home Performance program with the customer and the incentives available from Austin Energy including the process for advanced testing for even higher rebates. !e company will conduct

City of Austin newsContinued from p. 5 a home energy analysis and make

recommendations on improve-ments and can facilitate the more advanced testing for higher rebates. Austin Energy sta" reviews all the energy e#ciency recommendations before the work is performed by the participating company selected by the customer – and inspects all the work once completed.Customers who make all the recom-mended whole house improvements can see their electric bill reduced by as much as 40%, not to mention a more comfortable home and a more healthy environment due to drastic improvements in air quality throughout the home. Austin Energy was awarded a $10 million Better Buildings grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to help customers make extensive improvements to increase energy e#ciency and to increase the level of testing to verify customers receive the greatest energy savings possible.

!e City of Austin is launching a planning process for three South Austin neighborhoods and in-vites the public to a kicko" event Saturday, Jan. 12 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Crockett High School cafeteria, 5601 Manchaca Road. A new “South Austin Com-bined Neighborhood Plan” will guide the form, location, and character of future development in the Westgate, South Manchaca, and Garrison Park neighbor-hoods bounded by Ben White Boulevard to the north, William Cannon Drive to the south, West Gate Boulevard/the Sunset Valley city limits to the west, and South 1st Street to the east. !e roughly four-square mile planning area includes approxi-mately 22,000 residents. At the kicko" event, City sta" will explain the neighborhood planning process and seek input

City launches combined neighborhood planning in South Austin on Jan. 12

on existing neighborhood assets and concerns, as well as an overall vision for the neighborhood’s future. Residents can also attend a more in-depth community visioning workshop on Feb. 16 and a design workshop on March 23. “We encourage residents, business owners, landowners, and other interested community members to participate in the planning process, which will take approximately one year and will involve a series of community events and workshops,” said Greg Guernsey, Director of the Planning & Development Review Department. !e South Austin Combined Neighborhood Plan will be the $rst neighborhood plan developed since Council adopted the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan in June 2012. “Imagine Austin articulates a citywide vision for Austin over the next 30 years, and the South Austin

Combined Neighborhood Plan will detail that vision based on local conditions,” Guernsey said. !e combined neighborhood plan and all future neighborhood plans will be guided by Imagine Austin’s vision of creating a city of “complete communities” where residents have convenient access to their daily needs, including goods, services, parks, and jobs. !e City initiated the neighbor-hood planning program in 1997 to preserve and enhance the qual-ity of life and character of existing neighborhoods -- mostly located in Austin’s urban core. Currently, 49 neighborhood planning areas have completed the planning process and have adopted neighborhood plans. For more information, visit www.austintexas.gov/department/south-austin-combined-neighbor-hood-plan.

Oak Hill Gazette Wednesday, July 8 2009... 1

Gazette Guide: if you have too, but I don’t want to look like Guggenheim on the deck of the Titanic while I’m drinking a beer. But that was a minor setback. I can’t wait to try some of the real entrees, such as Bistro Steak, a hanger steak marinated in Shiner Bock & Lone Star, grilled, sliced & topped with warm tomato-cabernet salsa, served with potato-gorgonzola gratin & seasonal sautéed vegetables for 18 dollars. Or Bouillabaisse Seafood Stew made with freshly-caught fish, mussels, shrimp & potatoes in a sa!ron-fennel "sh stock, served with a fresh baguette for 18 dollars. #at might be next on my list. But the Pork Tenderloin also caught my eye. It’s spice-rubbed medallions, pan-seared and served in tomatillo sauce with sweet potato hash and seasonal sautéed vegetables for 16 bucks. I’ll de"nitely be back.

And even more food. #ere’s a new trailer at the Oak Meadow food court behind the Good Will and next to Donn’s BBQ, and it’s from Whole Foods. Oddly, it’s one of only three food trailers deployed by Whole Foods in the nation, and the only one in Austin. Naturally, I asked them why here and why now? #e answer? Convenience. Dave Hernandez and Allegra Powers told me that unlike most food parks, there are no time restrictions. #at

The Word from Oak Hill Continued from page 4 means the Whole Foods trailer can

be there Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and then be deployed during the weekends. “We chose this park because we can work other special events as well,” Powers said. Works for me. I went there last Tuesday in the rain to try a few of their menu items, and the trailer was open thanks to an awning that protects patrons from the rain. I ordered three things from the Sliders & Salads menu—#e St. Paul salad and two sliders, #e Trench Town and #e La Grange. #e St. Paul Salad is comprised of a cage-free egg foo young patty with mushrooms, sprouts, sriracha mayo (beats me) and greens. It tasted great, and apparently egg foo young is something like an omelet. #e La Grange slider consists of co!ee-rubbed bison, lettuce and tomato with a caramelized onion aioli and mayo. #e little bu!alo burger tastes great, and I think it’s the caramelized onion that gives it the uniqueness. #e Trench Town tasted best to me. It’s a pulled pork sandwich with smoked-jerk pork topped with cabbage and pineapple salsa. Spicy with a nice bite. #ere are three more entrees to round out the small but e!ective menu. The Casablanca features Moroccan grilled chicken, cracked black pepper, preserved lemon, good $ow honey yogurt and olives. Hernandez says it’s also the one

menu item that takes the longest (the Trench Town takes the quickest). Two vegan items are also featured, #e Argentinean and #e Spicy New Yorker. #e Argentinean consists of breaded eggplant Milanese and their signature chimichurri sauce. #e Spicy New Yorker includes mock chicken with vegenaise (non-animal mayo) and spicy wing sauce topped with celery dressing. #at’s it. #e entrees range from $6 to $8 and most are seven dollars. You can add fries for $2, although they are sweet potato or chick pea fries (again, beats me). #ey also have several non-alcoholic beverages available, from pineapple kombucha (yet again, beats me) to iced co!ee. “Every item we have can be served as a slider or a salad,” Hernandez said. Given I’ve already tried half the menu, I suspect I’ll try every item on the list before the month’s out. And the way I see it, the food trailer court is now complete. You can start o! with a salad from Whole Foods, followed by some fried shrimp or "sh at Fishey Bizness, then get some brisket at Donn’s BBQ and for dessert an ice cream treat from Wright Bros Dairy. #at sounds like a good night of open air eating. Something to do in spring, I’m guessing. See? Column ideas are everywhere.
