Meet Bailey, an active 10 year old boy who loves playing video and all of the other little things that boys do... at 10 years old, boys are pretty active. Bailey is in foster care at the moment, removed from his biological family because of abuse or neglect and is legally free for adoption. He is waiting -- waiting for a family to come along and claim him as their son. Of course, this family needs to be energectic as Bailey is always on the go! Bailey does enjoy school and making new friends. He is defi nately outgoing and likes to be funny. He especially loves to talk to people. He is learning what boundaries and limits are as he did no’t have guidance at a young age. He needs a parent or parents with patience to teach them all of the things he missed out. He needs love, structure, stability and attention.kell Bailey has been seperated from his sister in foster care but is very bonded with her.

Meet Bailey

When asked what type of family Bailey would like to have, he answers “I want a nice family who will let me see my sister”. While those that work in the system try to keep siblings together, sometimes it simply is not possible. However, the ability to visit occassionally, talk on the phone or even write letters helps. If you would like to learn more about Bailey, please contact Vanessa Coppola, Wendy’s Wonderful Kids Recruiter, Adoption Coalition of Texas at 512-687-3209. On March 22nd at the Old Quarry Library, the Adoption Coalition of Texas is hosting its free monthly Foster Care Adoption Information Meeting at 10:15am. For more information about foster care adoptions, please do not hesitate to contact Tracy Eilers at [email protected] / 512-301-2825 / www.adoptioncoalitiontx.org

Shingles Vaccine Shingles Vaccine is available, free of charge, for people over the age of 60 in Travis County. To schedule an appointment call 972-5520. Shots are available, by appointment during the week at the Far South, St. John’s and Rosewood-Zaragosa Clinics. What is shingles anyway? Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. Once a person has had chickenpox, the virus can live, but remain inactive, in your body. If it becomes active again, usually later in life, it can cause Shingles. If you’ve had chickenpox, there is no way to predict if you’ll get Shingles. What’s more, the inactive virus usually has no signs or symptoms. So shingles can appear at any time without warning. More information about shingles at http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/shingles/default.htm

The Astronomy Department hosts three weekly viewing nights for the public while UT is in session. On Wednesday nights, the astronomy department sponsors free public star parties on the top roof of Robert Lee Moore Hall, which is located at the southeast corner of Dean Keeton (formerly 26th street) and Speedway. Once you reach RLM, take the elevators to the 17th fl oor and then follow the signs to the stairs up to the telescope. A typical night will include a planet or two, binary stars, star clusters and maybe one of the brighter nebulae. Because of the location of the building, it is diffi cult to see many of the fainter objects. Although we are using a 16 inch telescope, the skyglow still makes it diffi cult. For more information about Wednesday night viewings at RLM: http://outreach.as.utexas.edu/public/parties.html.

ALSO Every Friday and Saturday night the Department of Astronomy hosts free viewing on the 9” Painter Hall Telescope. Painter Hall is located at the corner of 24th street and Inner Campus Drive, just to the north of the UT Tower. To get to the telescope, take the elevator to the 5th fl oor and exit to the left. Follow the 5th fl oor hallway to the end and take the stair case through the double doors on the left. Once you reach the 6th fl oor, go to your right and follow the signs up to the telescope. Information on the Painter Hall viewings can be found at http://outreach.as.utexas.edu/public/painter.html Viewing times change throughout the year (due to changing times of sunset), so please check the pages noted above or call 512-471-5007 for current times. Planned times for March 19 through May 3 are 8:30 PM to 10:30 PM. Please call 512-232-4265 for weather cancellation information. This line is updated approximately 30-45 minutes before the scheduled start time.
