We used to live in a small southern town that was so ‘laid-back’ that I could imagine one of the residents coming over and telling me that his house was on fire and he was considering writing an ‘urgent’ letter to the fire department – and could he maybe borrow a stamp.
Most of us have probably seen or experienced a crisis where we had to contact the authorities (fire or police or hospital) and you certainly want to call 911 to get immediate help. But what about those smaller things that are not presenting any danger or threat to property, but they sure are annoying? What if they are something that a neighbor is doing (or not doing) that represents a nuisance? Absolutely the first thing to do is talk to the neighbor – you will be pleasantly surprised at how often that is enough to fix the problem. If you have done so and no change has taken place and you are convinced that the behavior is a problem, you need to consider reporting it.
OK – so where do I report it? The first obvious answer is to Goodwin, our management company, but that does not always fit. Goodwin has an inspector who traverses the neighborhood twice a month to look for violations or to validate reported items. The problem has to be occurring and observable during the inspection, so if it is a dog barking at night or improper parking, odds are that he won’t see it. Items that violate our rules and city ordinances (my examples violate both) should be reported to the Police Department non-emergency number (512-260-4600) while the event is happening. I repeat though, did you talk to your neighbor already? If the item is more of an ongoing condition, then Goodwin is the place to report it. Please see my “NEWS FROM THE WEBSITE” column for info on how to contact Goodwin. Please note that items reported to CPPD or Goodwin are treated confidentially, and your name will not be divulged.
By the way, if you find yourself on the other side of an issue and a neighbor comes to you to talk about how it can be resolved, don’t be angry. Recognize that your neighbor approached you rather than “throw you under the bus”.
Until next month….Ken Walsh

Confessions of a Holiday Shopaholic: How to Get More and Spend Less this Holiday Season.
This is my favorite time of year. I love holiday shopping...the sales, the decorations, free samples. When I shop, there are clothes for the kids, my husband, parents, cousins, nieces and nephews, gifts for the neighbors, friends and coworkers And every January it is the dilimma: too many choices and a credit card bill that no one wants to look at. This year I found a solution that I am really excited about. I still get to shop, dine with friends and have room to buy new decorations all guilt free. Thanks to the Austin Shop Crawl, I can shop more and save more at our favorite Austin stores. I can eat for less, shop for less, and go to my favorite Austin events for less.
So how does it work? I’ll let you in on the secret. The Shop Crawl is Austin’s largest Black Friday event. A full ten days of saving at more than 50 Austin stores. Like the Sugar Factory by Gay Isber Designs, I can save an extra 10 to 20% on exquisite jewelry just by showing my FREE Shop Crawl Badge. With this free badge, I’m awarded with private in-store deals…two for ones and more! So all we need to do is sign up at austinshopcrawl.com. to get a FREE Shop Crawl Badge for immediate discounts and other rewards such as in-store give-aways, free food, and free admission to events around town.
And Austin Shop Crawl is not just about shopping; the Crawl uniquely integrates family

entertainment and charity events so my husband and I can still have a little us time. It all starts on Black Friday, November 25th and for ten days, the Shop Crawl is full of events all around town. December 2nd, OsakaSoul is hosting a family event on South First where we can get great food, free beer and take in a movie or a band. November 26th, there’s a children’s fashion show, modeling clothing for ages 4-16 and a kick off weekend after party at TNT (Tacos and Tequila) after party on the November 25th.
So there it is, my secret plan to shop more and spend less this holiday season. Hope to see you out there with your FREE Shop Crawl Badge.
Austin Shop Crawl - (Continued from Cover Page)Hello from the
Pool CommitteeDiana Walsh, CPTC Pool Committee Chair
As this season draws to an end, we would like to thank everyone for their cooperation in making this a great summer at the pool. We had little to no vandalism this year and I think a good portion of that is due to everyone getting involved in keeping our pool area safe and fun for our families.
The pool is scheduled to officially close on Nov. 1st, however since our weather has been so incredibly unpredictable this year, this could be subject to change.
