OAK HILL - !e Clint Small Middle School Parent-Teacher Association hosted a meeting on Tuesday night, April 30, to o"er information on current discussions about transforming the school into an in-district charter school for grades 6 through 12. Principal Amy

Small MS looks at becoming an in-district charter school

Principal Amy Taylor gave a presentation about the proposal to change Clint Small Middle School into a Green/Tech charter school.

!"#$% &'( )*#"# +% A'' F#,-.$ Taylor gave a presentation about the

proposal. Parents were told that all local students could continue to attend Small. !e students would have a choice whether to continue their high school years there or switch to Bowie or Austin high school. And the proposal requires the support of 80 percent of Small parents and 80 percent of classroom teachers to move forward. Small is a “Green-Tech” campus, o"ering classes in environmental studies and technology. Students have planted more than 300 native plant species around the campus. And in the 2009-2010 school year, through Small’s MS Tech-Know program, students refurbished more than 300 computers that went to needy families in the Austin area.

OAK HILL - In the two years since the devastating wild#re swept the Scenic Brook and South Windmill Run neighborhoods in Oak Hill, neighbors have banded together to raise money for those who lost near-ly everything and rebuild destroyed homes. But in the midst of the restoration, a group of artists, with the help of the Oak Hill community, created something completely new. “!e Phoenix Rising,” a six by ten foot mosaic wall adorned with hand-

Early voting for the largest pro-posed bond in Austin Independent School District’s history kicked o! Monday and while several parents and AISD sta! members have sited the the $892 million package as welcome relief for schools su!ering from delayed maintenance issues, others say the price tag is too high. Don Zimmerman, founder of the Travis County Taxpayers Union, said the bond is unnecessary and only adds to an already steep tax burden. “"e Taxpayers Union’s argument is that today taxes are so high that people are being driven out of the city,” Zimmerman said. “What sense does it make to add one dollar to the tax bill when people are already being forced out of their homes? "is bond is part of what’s making Travis county and Austin school district into a place where only rich people can a!ord to live.” "e district estimates that, if

Voting underway for AISD bonds!" B#!!$% J%&' S&("%) passed, the bond package will

increase tax rates by about 3.5 cents, approximately $70 per year for a home valued at $200,000 and approximately $178 per year for a business on a medium property value of approximately $509,385. But Zimmerman says the ballot language omits crucial information by not indicating a maximum rate for taxpayers and he believes Austin residents should be concerned that the rate will far exceed what they’ve bargained for. “"e truth is, by law, the taxes can go up without limit as to rate or amount,” Zimmerman said. Carolyn Merritt, tri-chair of the Citizens Bond Advisory Committee, points to the 2004 and 2008 bonds as indicators of a stable tax rate. "e $519 million 2004 bond carried a tax rate increase of 4.6 cents, compared to the 3.6 cent tax hike for the $892 million bond. “"ose bonds are only issued as the projects move forward, so

assuming everything in this one passed, we probably wouldn’t see any increase in our tax rate for six months to a year out. "e money is only (issued) as the projects start and obviously everything won’t start at once,” Merritt said. “Based on the amount of money that has been approved by voters in the 2004 and 2008 bond, the district has done a great job of managing our #nances and we are actually two cents under the approved tax increase.” Zimmerman said he also has concerns that the May 11 election date doesn’t encourage a large voter turnout, creating an imbalance of representation at the polls. “We allege that the district has sole power to decide when to put this on the ballot and they picked the worst turnout date that we might have in a decade and we think that is shameful. Whether you agree with the bonds or not, we hope that people get angry that they put this

In our somewhat slipshod e!orts to maintain and beautify the old homestead, wifey and I recently marked o! several great swaths of our mangy front yard, designating these areas for gardendom. We’d seen it done before. How hard could it be? Hard, gentle readers. Very, very hard. For one thing, you can’t simply cordon o! a patch of your yard and say “garden.” No. You have to chop this area to bits, dig every living thing out of it down to about Paleozoic level, lay down plastic and rocks and poisons strong enough to kill large livestock, and then wait. I’m not sure what the waiting is for, but if it is to be spent in dutiful prayer to the garden gods, then that’s probably where we failed. Well, we chopped, dug, laid down, poisoned, and waited—and then dil-igently deposited our garden-plants-to-be. We watered and fertilized and mulched. We hauled enough rocks and mulch and potting soil in and out of our yard to create a neigh-borhood land"ll. By the way, some mighty weird critters live about a foot down in your soil. And they don’t like you invading their terri-

tory. A bulbous, white, wormy-tex-tured thing, which looked like a cross between an albino snake and the creature from “Alien,” hissed at me and slithered away during our digging process. #is is why, I told myself, I work in an o$ce building. Anyway, a%er all the digging and planting and excess body &uid loss, we "nally sat back and anticipated the burgeoning growth of nature’s beauty. The sel"sh part of me (that’s about 79% of the greater me) didn’t really care how much splendor our garden added; I was simply looking forward to mowing that much less of the yard. Yeah. Right. All the digging and chopping and poisoning did kill just about everything within the garden’s city limits—everything except the weeds. #at damn garden is now home to more weeds than the rest of our front and back yards put together. What are weeds made of, anyway? Weeds, I have come to determine, are not of this earth. #ey are of the devil. Satan sits Down

#ere and ponders not only the big ways to vex humankind—ya know, hurricanes, drought, wars, plagues, and all that—but he also has in his arsenal more subtle weapons, like wasps, bad breath, Rush Limbaugh,

and weeds. Out, foul weeds! #is is war. Sure, we have some nice palm sagos now, and some cactus and pretty &owery purple things that I can’t remember the names of, but the vast majority of our yard maintenance time is now spent in hand-to-tendril combat with the weeds. I dare say that we have more weeds,

and a greater variety of them, than before we began to “beautify” our yard. It’s gotten to the point where I tell passing neighbors that we’re cultivating a weed-speci"c garden. “Oh, yes, many of God’s more wondrous plants that some of the less educated tend to think of as mere weeds are actually marvelous &ora,” I say in an academic tone to the couple from down the street (whose garden is immaculate, of course).“Is that so?”“Quite. #e lovely Taraxacum o$ci-nale, or dandelion, that you see here. #e hearty Japanese Knotweed over there. Yellow nutsedge, Bermuda, your distinctive milk thistle, which is a healthy antioxidant, of course.” I adjust my nonexistent glasses, nodding knowledgeably. “Interesting. And very unusual. A weed garden.” “Yes. See how the milk thistle ma-tures to a stunning purple bloom? Well, ta-ta now. Oh, Lovey,” I say, turning to the wife, “is it tea time yet?” “Hun,” she says as she pulls a long rope of dollar weed out of the ground. “Shut up. And dig up that stunning milkweed in front of you.”

OAK HILL - !e Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority and TxDOT are providing further opportunity for residents to weigh in on design concepts for the Oak Hill Parkway Project, a potential redesign of the ‘Y’ intersection in Oak Hill. !is month the agencies will host a community workshop, open house and two online chats to share prelim-inary designs and gather feedback from community members.

CTRMA to present Oak Hill Parkway Project options!" B#!!$% J%&' S&("%) !e community workshop will

be held !ursday, May 16 at 6 p.m. at the Oak Hill Methodist Church and will serve as a follow-up design meeting, said Melissa Hurst, senior communications and marketing specialist for the Mobility Authority. Residents who’ve attended past workshops are encouraged to attend. “We’ve been working with a smaller group to have them come in and help design and develop those alternatives, so we just wanted to have the opportunity to meet with

those folks ahead of the open house, show them the alternatives that we came up with, and give them a deeper explanation that you might not necessarily get at an open house about why we’ve made the decisions we’ve made,” Hurst said. !e workshop will provide attend-ees with a sneak peek of the designs that will be presented at an open house the following week on May 23 at 6 p.m. at Small Middle School. Hurst said the open house event would be a come-and-go format,

similar to the open house held last November. !ere will be no formal presentation. Attendees will have the opportunity to view design concepts, voice their opinion to TxDOT and Mobility Authority sta" and submit feedback via surveys and at oakhillparkway.com. Along with other criteria, feedback gathered at the workshop and open house will be used to help the project team nar-row design concepts as the project moves forward. In addition to the in-person work-

shop and open house, community members will be able to view and discuss the same design concepts with the project team online through a live chat on oakhillparkway.com. !e chats will be held May 24 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and May 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. “We’re really looking forward to showing the design concepts that we’ve come up with to the folks that have been working with us all along,” Hurst said.

AUSTIN - Last summer, Austin and Travis County mirrored the state and nation experiencing a particularly active mosquito season. Mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile Virus (WNV) throughout our community. One hundred and #$y three people were diagnosed with the virus in Travis County and six people died. Mosquitoes are present in Central Texas all year, but the population is largest and most active during the months of May through November. !e best way to address the threat posed by mosquitoes is through public information and education. !at’s why a new video, West Nile Watch has been produced by the Austin/Travis County Health and Human Services Department and the City of Austin’s Channel 6. !e video highlights the city’s mosquito surveillance program and emphasiz-es what residents can do to protect themselves. !e video is available at http://youtu.be/f2b8el0498A Most people who are infected with WNV do not have any signs or symptoms, but if symptoms do develop seek medical attention. WNV symptoms begin with fever, headache, tiredness, body aches, an

occasional skin rash (on the trunk of the body) and swollen lymph glands. While the illness can be as short as a few days, even healthy people have reported being sick for several weeks. Advanced age is by far the most signi#cant risk factor for developing severe disease a$er infection. !e risk of severe disease is greatest among people age 50 years and older. Follow the 4 D’s to eliminate mosquito breeding areas and reduce your risk of disease: • Dusk & Dawn -Whenever possible, avoid prolonged outdoor activity at dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active• Dress- Wear long-sleeved, loose-#tting, light-colored clothing.• DEET- Use mosquito repellent and carefully follow all label directions.• Drain- Regularly check yards and neighborhoods for water-holding containers and empty them out. It only takes a teaspoon of water for mosquitoes to breed.

Springtime is traditionally a busy time for animal shelters because the weather is perfect for breeding which leads to unwanted litters and abandoned pets at the Austin Animal Center and at surrounding shelters.

haust all options before considering dropping an animal o# at the City shelter. Options might include $nding a home with a family member, friend, co-worker or other rescue organiza-tions, as well as advertising the pet for adoption to a responsible home for a small fee. In hopes of encouraging additional adoptions, the Austin Animal Cen-ter is running a $20 Spring adoption

special right now on all ready-to-go dogs and cats. Spay or neuter sur-gery, a microchip and vaccinations are included in the reduced adoption fees – a value of more than $200. Presently, the shelter has a high number of “At Risk” dogs; dogs that have minor to moderate medical or behavior issues that have prevented them from getting adopted. “We hope folks will consider whether they’re in a position right now to save a dog that has an issue that might cause other adopters to say “no.” We

know many of these dogs will make great pets with a willing family,” said Amber Rowland, Behavior Program Manager for Animal Services. “Any-one interested in considering one of these special dogs can simply ask one of our Adoption Counselors for an “At Risk List.” Lastly, with the animal shelter being full, there is no room to house lost pets. To help reunite lost pets with their owners, the Austin Animal Center o#ers a free microchip and I.D. tag for all pets in Austin and

Travis County. Pet owners can visit the center between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily to get pets appropriately identi$ed, so they can avoid the shelter system all together. "e adoption special will take place at both the Austin Animal Center, 7201 Levander Loop and at Town Lake Animal Center, 1156 W. Cesar Chavez. Both locations are open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information check www.austinanimalcenter.org or call 3-1-1.

Dear Leslie, Maybe I shouldn’t blame my family for this, but I think I learned my anger problems from them. Growing up it was pretty common for mom and dad to have shouting matches, slam doors, and yell at us kids for “crimes”, big or small. I knew their behavior was wrong then, but here I am, a 42-year-old man and I’m doing the same thing—I explode when I get angry. A few days ago I blew up at my co-worker because he wasn’t doing

Anger management is a skillhis fair share of a project we’ve been working on for the past few months. I found out he hadn’t completed a portion of the job that I needed. Im-mediately I felt he had disrespected me and was lazy. I shouted at him, and from his shocked expression, I knew I had over-stepped. Again. "is is part of my sickness, but at the time it actually felt good to let all my frustration out. However, a%er he explained what his understanding was of the deadlines, I calmed down and apologized. But the damage

has been done. He’s distant with me, (who can blame him?), and I’m avoiding him. I hate that I do this. When I go o# on these rages it’s almost as though I can hear my father’s voice instead of my own. Now I’m keeping myself very low-key at the o&ce, but I feel as low as gum on someone’s shoe. How do I keep my anger under wraps?

Signed,Seeing Red

Dear Red, Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, nailed it when he wrote several thou-sands years ago about the human condition of anger: “Anyone can become angry—that is easy, but to be angry with the right person at the right time, and for the right purpose and in the right way—that is not within everyone’s power and that is not easy.” He was right—it’s not easy. Anger is one of those universal human emotions we o%en grapple with and even may not want to admit to owning. But everyone gets angry. In your family you o%en saw their emotional outbursts, so it became a learned way to handle stress. I

applaud you for your insight into how you may have learned this dysfunctional angry style, but please don’t be too hard on yourself if you haven’t been able to kick the raging habit through insight alone. "is is a process, but your knowledge of how you hurt others and yourself is a valuable $rst step toward $nd-ing new ways of expressing your frustration in a more assertive style. From your last outburst, you spoke of how you felt “disrespected” and how at the time you believed your colleague was “lazy”. "ose are two examples of irrational, distorted thinking. You assumed he was

Leslie - Cont. and words. You know full-well the destruction of your anger. I suggest when you feel the warn-ing signs of seeing red, such as your heart rate increasing, vision nar-rowing, furious thoughts churning up hurt feelings, then you toss up the penalty #ag and stop. Remind yourself those are all symptoms of feeling #ooded and sliding toward the tar-pit of rage. Tell yourself now is NOT the time to act. Walk away. Take deep breaths. Go around the block. Count to ten. Still #ooded? !en keep on counting until your body drains the adrenaline away and you start to collect more rational thoughts. Writing your thoughts down on paper is a great tool to help you gain clarity. Go to whomever

it is who has angered you and say, “When you did (upsetting event), I felt (upsetting emotion). What I need from you is (your request).” Using “I” statements are always safer than “you” statements. If you say, “You lazy, so-and-so! Why did you ignore my project deadline?” people generally have two ways to react to such statements—either with fear and withdrawing or their own brand of anger right back at you. Neither works toward solving a problem and building trust. Keep up the good work of learning about your anger triggers and creating bet-ter methods for cooling down and reframing your thoughts. Because as you know, regret is a bitter pill to swallow.

The Word from Oak Hill neighborly news

Mike Jasper

M!"# J$%&#' !e word from Oak Hill is... Garden. !e Scenic Brook Neighborhood Association held a picnic in the park-that-needs-a-name on Oak Meadow, and it was a well-deserved celebration. Has this eyesore changed or what? It’s beautiful now. Yes, I’m the VP of the SBNA, but I assure you, I’m not biased—I had nothing to do with it. I did what every vice president worth his or her salt does. I backed up the president. Other-wise, I did little else. And the two presidents I backed up? Troy Contreras was the "rst, the prez who got the ball rolling on converting the park area from a now-defunct pool to a very real garden and sports facility. !en current SBNA president Joe Bateman grabbed Troy’s baton and saw the project through. But it’s not that simple. Unsung heroes were involved. Since I’m a singer, let me crow on about these heroes. On the garden side, Patti McCabe did the lioness’s share of the foot-work to get the garden side rolling. But the sports side—which includes a rejuvenated basketball court, tennis court, and brightly painted monkey bars—was the brainchild of Taki Pappas, the SBNA secretary. “It’s no big deal really,” he said. “I’d just come on spare hours of the weekend and do some sanding, then do some painting.” Yeah, maybe. But you did it, brother. Me? I stayed at home on the couch and watched the Spurs. And yes, I’m leaving out many more names of people who contributed to this renewed park. But I’ll include them in the future. I promise.

• • • !e Whole Foods trailer is gone, but a new trailer will move in soon at the food trailer court next to Don’s BBQ and behind the Goodwill building on Oak Meadow Drive. !e new place will be called MexiRican—half Mexican, half Puerto Rican. Arroz con Pollo meets Enchiladas y Queso. And then they have taco babies. I didn’t get much information from the new owner, Ken, because he’s

still dealing with little details like city regulations, as well as big details like… city regulations. But he hopes to open soon and, appropriately enough, on Cinco de Mayo. Yeah, right. And I hope to date San-dra Bullock by Christmas. Let’s see

how these things turn out.• • •

A second head shop—yeah, I said it—opened up in Oak Hill. What do these proprietors know about us that we don’t know? Sure, they like to be called smoke shops or curio stores, but I know what

they are really. Places for college students to shop. !e newest outlet, called Cloud 9, opened up in the shopping center on William Cannon and Hwy. 290 next to Flores. It’s small, but clean and well lit, and there are glass pipes as far as the eye can see. Water pipes, hookah pipes, tobacco pipes, bonny pipes—and all of them are calling, calling out for you, Danny boy. !ey also have cigars. It’s well designed and there’s plen-ty of stock, especially given that I was there only ten days a#er the joint opened. Sure, there’s space to be "lled, but overall it had a nice ambience, and almost a furtive atmosphere. I talked to the manager on duty, but I forget his name (read: boss over nobody, since he was the only one there). “Are you the owner?” “No, but I work for the owner.” “Oh,” I said. What are the odds, I thought. “Is there just one owner?” I asked. “!ere could be one or two part-ners.” “Silent partners?” I asked. “Ahhhhhhhh.” (Pause.) “!e owner isn’t in the back bound and gagged is he?” I asked. “What?” he asked. “What?” I said. Like I said. Really good ambience. I complimented the store manager on the look and the feel of the place—it really does have nice high-end smoking accessories—and took o$ to Whatever, the other smoke shop in town. !e one two doors down from Verona’s Italian Ristorante. Night and day, I tell you, night (where I was) and day (where I wound up). Rochelle (no relation to the "c-

tional movie “Rochelle, Rochelle” from the Seinfeld TV series) runs a much more in-the-face store than Cloud 9 does. Rochelle said she didn’t mind the competition, and that she really

liked the owner, what’s-his-name (seriously, nobody has a clue who this guy is). “I do an entirely di$erent thing,” she said. “I’ve sent customers to his place already. He has some heady [upscale] water pipes that we don’t carry.” Her husband, the long-su$ering

Tommy (that’s how he introduced himself) disagreed. “I will take Cloud 9 down, do you hear me? Down!” Okay, I made up the last two para-graphs. Can you blame me? It’s really hard to get “smoke shop” owners

B! T. Q. J"#$%

!is is one of our favorites among the newer cars, in large part because nearly everyone in the industry makes an equivalent. !at means it’s easy to compare o#erings from each manufacturer. !ey are all available with just

about the same equipment, from radios to powerplants, with a tur-bocharged engine available, usually a 1.4-liter or so, and everything else available in comparable accesso-ries from performance to comfort o#erings. It’s essentially a kid’s car, even

a “$rst car” for a high-school grad or a college-bound student. Our vehicle for the week carried a list price of $20,995 and a host of pop-ular equipment. It had a six-speed manual transmission, though it’s available with an automatic and the same number of gears. As an “RS” model, it was equipped with a sport suspension and performance-tuned

shocks. For all of that, it didn’t scream

“performance car,” though this one was a bright red. !e driver infor-mation center information included an oil-life monitoring system to help a young driver pay attention to maintenance. It also had six months of General

Motors “OnStar” service along with automatic crash response in case Mom and Dad aren’t used to the young driver being on his or her own yet, plus lots of air bags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control and heated outside mirrors. !ere was Chevrolet’s Mylink,

including voice recognition for phone. Naturally, a high-line sound system with satellite radio and steering wheel mounted controls. !ere was some added appearance equipment, like 17-inch wheels and a roof-mounted rear spoiler.Up front, it has a performance

look to go along with the mild per-formance equipment that mostly

contributes to the stability of the Sonic. Lose the red paint and the Sonic RS can travel under the radar, so to speak. !e interior

was very well done, carrying the sports-car motif to the seat trim and the very comfortable perfor-mance-inspired seats. From the driver’s seat, the Sonic

has all the attributes of a perfor-mance car, from the well-laid out instrument pack to the visibility out the side and rear windows, which brings up another point. !is was a “$ve-door” or a

hatchback, if you prefer. We tend to prefer the $ve door design for it’s versatility, but depending on it’s speci$c design, it also usually o#ers better overall visibility, as was the case with the Sonic.

Car Review

*HQHUDO�0RWRUV��,QF.

Driving the Sonic reminded us of the British sports cars of the early 1960s, though the Sonic has a great deal more power and probably doesn’t weigh a great deal more. !at power doesn’t cost a lot more, either, as the EPA ratings for the Sonic tur-bo are 27 miles per gallon city and 34 mpg on the highway. Our old Austin-Healey Sprite did about 30 in town and 40 on the road, but we’d loved to have had the extra power that’s on tap with the Sonic, even if you only used it when you needed it.

We said just about every automak-er these days o#ers an equivalent, so you know you have choices and a variety of approaches if you decide to look at any one of them, from buying the Sonic equivalent from the make of the car you are driving now, to choosing a manufacturer you might not have direct experi-ence with until now. We tend to like Sonic, Mazda2 and Honda as well as the chance to try a new (to us) automaker and or dealer.

!e Bowie and Crockett baseball teams compete in bi-district playo" encounters this weekend. Led by Rudy Alvarez, the Bulldogs earned a #$eenth straight trip to the post-season and will face Stony Point in the #rst round. “!e kids put a little pressure on themselves,” the skipper stated. “We ended up in a three-way tie for #rst.” Lake Travis represents the top spot in District 15-5A with Bowie (18-9, 9-3) taking second place. !e Cavaliers will tangle with McNeil while Westlake will represent the

third position versus Cedar Ridge. Bowie faces a Tiger team led by se-nior pitcher Kiki Mendez who was a force at the plate in Stony Point’s 11-7 win over P%ugerville last Saturday. “We have to play consistent defense and hopefully get some hits,” Alvarez added. “I always say ‘who makes the fewest errors will probably win’.” Following a #nal regular season win over Reagan, Crockett (15-10, 10-2) ventures north to face Leander in the #rst round. “We’re working a lot on hitting,” Cougar catcher Daniel Lopez said a$er practice Tuesday. “We’re trying to keep our

hitting up as a team. We want to give the seniors a good goodbye.” !e veteran Lions are loaded with seniors and feature pitcher Patrick Glaze on the mound and out#elder Garrett Venner at the plate. Bowie begins at Stony Point !urs-day at 7 p.m. with game two at Burger on Friday at 7 p.m. If necessary, game three will be at Burger on Saturday at a time to be determined. Crockett starts at Leander on !ursday at 7 p.m. and will be the host team Friday at Garrison at 7 p.m. If necessary game three will be at Leander at 2 p.m. on Saturday.

Four years of athletic endeavors at Austin High for June Ussery culminated with a #rst place #nish at the District 15-5A track meet and a second place result at the area meet. “June is dedicated and hard-working,” girls’ track coach Jocelyn Satterwhite said. “She is an all-around team player.” Ussery threw the discus 108’3” to capture the gold in district and threw 101’ in a rainy area event. Born in Houston, Ussery attended Oak Hill Elementary before enrolling at Legacy Oaks

Pitching performances from Daryn Prince-Muniz helped the Crockett baseball team earn a trip to the playo"s. “Daryn has become a very consistent pitcher,” Cougar coach Miguel Trevino added. “He is very unselfish and is extremely coachable—hard to replace a kid like him.” Prince-Muniz will lead the brown and gold into postseason battle with Leander this weekend. A native of Austin, Daryn at-tended Barton Hills Elementary before advancing to O’Henry Middle School where he also played football. He played little league in the South Austin Op-

She began playing volleyball as a freshman and soph-omore at Austin High until step-fa-ther Rick Roberson encouraged June to pursue !eld event competition for the remainder of her high school career. “He thought I would be good at it,” said June. To improve her skill at the sport, Ussery enlisted the assistance of private coach James Parman. “He taught me everything I needed to know through both seasons,” Ussery added.

Following graduation, June will attend Santa Fe University of Art & Design to pursue a bachelor’s degree in photography and minor in business. She o#ers important advice for younger pupils aspiring to compete in varsity athletics at the high school level. “If you put hard work into it and try with everything you’ve got, anything is possible,” she said. “I’m religious and would like to say God gave me the gi$ to do what I do.

Ms. Erika and Ms. Amy’s class of two and three-year-olds at Child’s Way Creative Learn-ing Center get set to start their Bike-a-thon fundraiser. Child’s Way holds the Bike-a-thon ev-ery year to raise money for Dell Children’s Hospital.

Child’s Way, a Texas Rising Star Preschool located at the Y in Oak Hill, has been educating young Oak Hill students for the past 18 years. !ey are currently enrolling for summer camp ses-sions and for the fall semester.

Starting this fall, Childs Way

will be o"ering extended hours options for families beginning at 7 am and ending at 6 pm. More information about the programs offered at Child’s Way can be found on their website at www.childsway.com.

Young bikers raise funds for hospital

Last fall, Denise Dews relocated her Sacred Arts Studio and Gallery from Louisiana to the heart of Oak Hill and now southwest Austinites can get hands-on art instruction in a variety of media from the former Caddo Parish Art Educator of the Year. “I’m so proud to bring my artistic expertise to this area,” says Dews, whose experience spans more than 20 years. “It is a privilege to work with young artists, and see them learn and grow through the wonder of artistic expression.” With summer just around the corner, Sacred Arts Studio is now enrolling for its Summer Art Camps. Week-long camps begin June 10, and

Enrollment opens for art camps

include such themes as: Art around the World; Skateboard Art; Passion

for Fashion; American Girl Doll Art; and Super Heroes and Heroines, to name a few. Dews is keeping tuition a!ordable for her "rst season of camps in Austin. Cost for each camp is only $135, and includes all supplies and

a healthy snack. Class sizes will be kept small to allow for a lot of in-dividualized attention. Camps are o!ered for ages 4-7 and 8-12. “We will bring an unforgettable, enriching art experience to your child this summer,”says Dews.

Sacred Arts Studio is conveniently located on W. William Cannon at Escarpment. To register and for more information, call Denise Dews at: (512) 584-8061or visit the website at www.sacredartsstudioandgallery.com.

Taylor said students who thrive in the Green and/or Tech programs !nd few local high school electives to foster those interests. "e principal added that advanced planning with a quality master schedule—which combines quali-!ed teachers with students’ elective choices—has been a challenge because a signi!cant number of students enroll a#er schedules have been made. Said Taylor: “When I know … as late as June, who my kids are com-ing in August, I can hire the best teachers, I can make sure there’s elective seats, I can make sure the class size is right and we’re ready to go in August. But [currently] as of August and even September 1, kids are still walking in my door—it overcrowds classrooms. Kids don’t get their elective choices. We’re not able to do academic teaming.” Academic teaming groups students with a core team of teachers to meet the needs of the middle school student. "e process is designed to promote belonging within the group and increase student enthusiasm. "e driving factors for exploring an in-district charter include the current lack of Green and Tech elective o$erings in high school and

Small MS looks at becoming an in-district charter school

Continued from p. 1 the ability to have advance notice to build a quality master schedule. Other driving factors are:• Expansion of Problem-Based Learning (PBL)-Blended Learning (currently in 8th grade) at middle school and high school• Flexibility in sequencing of AISD Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) with creation of In-terdisciplinary Units 6-8 and 9-12• Expansion of Small’s Innovation Lab (iLab) (Gi#ed and Talented services) for high school Taylor said a campus-initiated in-district charter would support student choice, comply with all federal and state laws, and would be operated under the legal auspices of the school board. AISD Trustee Robert Schneider attended the meeting. He said any change would require communi-ty support. He told the Gazette: “Personally, I like the idea of a 6-12 school with some specialized focus. Over a third of the kids that end up at the Liberal Arts and Science Academy, which is housed at LBJ High School, come from ZIP codes in Southwest Austin. If there were a focused academy of some kind in South, or Southwest Austin, it might o$er an opportunity for some of the kids that go to LASA to not

have to trek to LBJ every school day or perhaps provide an opportunity for kids that do not want to make the trip to LBJ but would like to do something similar without traveling so far from home.” Taylor told the group that as an in-district charter, Small would remain a comprehensive middle school, o$ering !ne arts and athlet-ics. She said, “Our arts here at Small are some of the strongest of the dis-trict. Our athletic programs, some of the strongest. None of that will change. Our proposal...maintains the middle school comprehensive model.” As an in-district charter school, teachers will continue to receive AISD bene!ts. Neighborhood chil-dren will continue to be accepted. "ey do not have to take the Green or Tech electives. Taylor said currently “kids are in and out of the tech [classes]. We have a certain group of kids who want to stick with that path because that’s their thing. "e arts may not be their thing. Athletics may not be their thing. Green and/or Tech might be.” Addressing concerns of combin-ing middle school and high school populations, Taylor said high school students would likely have di$erent start and end times, with separate learning environments from the younger students. In fact, with par-ent approval, high school students

may serve as positive mentors to the middle school students. No decisions have been made about enrollment sizes, high school course o$erings, facility expansion or funding. In December 2012, AISD can-celled an experimental partnership between AISD and IDEA charter at Allan Elementary. "e program was designed to target and help students who would attend Eastside Memori-al High School, which has struggled to meet state academic standards. However, community members did not support the experiment and voted in board members who then cancelled it. At that same board meeting, an in-district charter school was ap-proved for Travis Heights Elemen-tary, an idea under consideration for three years. It had the support of the AISD employee association and more than 90 percent of parents and classroom teachers. Taylor said advantages of becoming an in-district charter for middle school students who want to con-tinue to a vertical team high school at Austin or Bowie include:• Autonomy in 6-8 curriculum

sequencing with a focus on inter-disciplinary units• PBL-Blended learning model ex-pansion to 6th and 7th grade levels with a 1:1 technology initiative (with grant funding)• High school credits o$ered in middle school for advanced students (i.e. Foreign Language starting in 6th grade and Biology in 8th grade)• Reinstatement of Academic Team-ing (MS Philosophy) with advanced notice of student enrollment• Alternative food services would allow for organic/healthier alterna-tives to the AISD Food Services cur-rently o$ered. Food from the Small MS Gardens could be incorporated into the food o$erings.

Another community meeting is scheduled for May 22. "e deadline for the petition signed by 80 percent of both Small parents and classroom teachers is October 31. "e AISD Board of Directors would then have to agree to the proposal by February 20, 2014, and then be approved by the Texas Education Agency in order to start the program for the 2014/2015 school year. If the program is approved, a 9th grade class would be approved for the 2015-2016 school year, adding 10th grade in 2016, 11th in 2017 and 12th in 2018. “"e Future of Small MS” Com-mittee meets every Wednesday at Small from 4 to 5:30 p.m. in Room 112. "e public is invited to attend. "e next Community Meeting will be on May 22 at 5:30 pm in the Clint Small Middle School library. "e school is located at 4801 Monterey Oaks Boulevard.

cra!ed ceramic tiles created and designed by community members, students and members of the local police and "re departments will be unveiled Sunday, May 5 at a 2 p.m. dedication ceremony at Windmill Run Park. Kathy Morgan, an Oak Hill res-ident and one of the project’s lead artists, said Mayor Lee Le#ngwell

“Phoenix” will rise in dedication ceremony

will be on hand to dedicate the wall. Other speakers will include "rst responders from the Travis County police and "re departments, Wanda Montemayor, a lead artist and art therapist, and Carol Cespedes, an Oak Hill resident whose home was rebuilt with the help of neighbors. Kathy Morgan will speak about the project’s history and how the wall was created. Austin-based funk band The Bellmen will provide

entertainment. Morgan said creating the ‘Phoenix’ has been a healing process for the neighborhood. “$is wall has been a type of ther-apy for a lot of us,” Morgan said. “ I think there’s an undercurrent of ‘what do we do now?’ We’ve been doing this work for so long. It’s been two years since the "re, rebuilding and then building this handcra!ed piece of art.” Morgan said the mosaic is already drawing attention, even in its un-"nished state. “What’s really awesome is all the people who come into the park and stop, looking amazed and really showing appreciation,” Morgan said.

“It’s already a revered piece of art. People come everyday. I’ve seen people pull into the parking lot to take a peek at it and drive away.” Morgan said she and fellow lead artists Wanda Montemayor, Connie Justice, Lilly Henric, Amy Harper, Amber Kubik, Matthew Marinari, Ana Borne and Jim Berry view the wall as a “gi! to the neighborhood from the neighbors.” “I think the wall’s just a concrete example of what a small group of dedicated people can do,” Morgan said. “$e "re was a great tragedy; this is a great building block.” Morgan said she believes the dedication ceremony will serve as a celebration of Oak Hill residents’

perseverance. “$e last time we all came together was kind of a sad, reverent day. I think this day is di%erent because it represents moving forward and a sense of achievement and pride and growth and awesome relationships.” $ose relationships have been the most rewarding part of long hours of tiring work, Morgan said. “We’re a solid group of neighbors now. It feels like family. We’ve worked beside each other in really hot, really cold and rainy work conditions,” Morgan said. “The teamwork in the a!ermath of the "re translates well into the teamwork of creating this handcra!ed, wonderful piece of art.”

deliberately on a date when nobody shows up,” Zimmerman said. “A tiny, tiny, tiny turnout maximizes the special interest vote.” Nan Clayton, former AISD board of trustees president and current mem-ber of the Citizens Bond Oversight Committee, said the May date was chosen because the November ballot was already overcrowded with issues such as Proposition 1, which sought the approval of a University of Texas medical school and occupied the majority of public consciousness. “Actually by going in May people

Voting underway for AISD bondsAustin Independent School District news

Continued from p. 3 are able to get a better picture of what this bond issue is about because it isn’t on the ballot with so many other things,” Clayton said. “As far as public information, I think the school district has done a very good job on their website, where every school is listed with everything that’s to be done.” Opponents of the bond argue that AISD should use the $230 million in “approved but unused” dollars, money granted to the district from past bonds, rather than calling on taxpayers for additional funding. “If you have $230 million of bond

money that you can borrow, why are you rushing to the voters to slip in another $890 million when nobody is voting? !ere’s no emergency that justi"es rushing this thing to the voters,” Zimmerman said. “It hasn’t been properly vetted. !ere’s no time to understand what’s in it.” But Merritt said the $230 million is part of voter-approved bond money, which can only be used for voter-approved items. “!e contingency fund is not just this huge pot of money that you can go pulling from just for anything you want to spend it on,” Merritt said. Bond money for projects that cost less than estimated is set aside in a contingency fund to cover cost over-runs, but contingency money can’t be touched until every voter-ap-proved item has been completed, Merritt said.

Clayton said the bond is the dis-trict’s attempt to catch up on long overdue maintenance issues, e#ec-tively saving taxpayers from having to fund the construction of more new schools in the future. “!ey have millions, if not a billion or more invested in (about 120) sites in the school district and this bond issue is primarily replacement and updates to existing buildings,” Clayton said. “!is is an attempt to preserve their investment. We don’t want to take down schools because we’ve allowed them to deteriorate so that they can no longer be used. A new school is more expensive than repairing an old school in most instances.” Merritt said AISD’s greatest chal-lenge is a lack of school funding, due to the “Robin Hood” program, the state system for funding public schools, which requires proper-ty-wealthy districts to send a portion of their local tax revenue to the state to be redistributed to property-poor districts. According to the AISD website, the school district has shelled out $1.3 billion in recapture

payments. “!e school funding is ridiculous,” Merritt said. “If we didn’t have to give that amount of money away every year, I personally don’t believe we’d have to go out a$er these big bonds. If we had adequate funding for our schools so that we could do maintenance then we would be in a much better situation.” Merritt said about 80 percent of AISD’s maintenance and operations budget goes to operations. “I’ve always said our teachers are much more important than our buildings. However, if we let our buildings get into such a bad state that it prohibits the teachers from teaching adequately, then we’ve got a big problem. We don’t have enough money to do the maintenance that needs to happen regularly,” Merritt said. “!at’s a school "nance issue that can’t be "xed by AISD.” Early voting ends May 7 and election day is May 11.

Members of the St. Michael’s community gathered on a glorious spring evening this week to honor and thank St. Michael’s Catholic Academy parent and leader Joan Frost as we dedicated the new practice facility in her name. Fa-ther Jim McDonough opened the ceremony with a special blessing; remarks followed from Athletic Director Brian Moreland, Interim Principal Dr. Michael Volonnino and Joan; and Coach Moreland and Coach Calvin Schiraldi unveiled the building dedication plaques. As Coach Moreland eloquently shared, during over 12 years of servant leadership to St. Michael’s, Joan has championed multiple ac-tivities and causes on behalf of the SMCA Booster Club and school. She has worked tirelessly, leaving each school program she touches better than she found it. Among her various roles, Joan served for many years as the enthusiastic Booster

St. Michael’s Dedicates new Joan Frost Practice FacilityClub Membership Chair, passion-ately reminding us why each family’s participation is critical and raising generous sums for facility and other program improvements. She has also been in charge of publication of the Athletic Program and served as team parent for a variety of sports. Multiple baseball and basketball teams (whether or not her child was on the team) can thank her for keeping record books over the years. Seldom does she miss a Booster Club gathering, where she can o'en be heard leading us in thoughtful prayer. Joan is the constant, friendly face that has for years greeted families and students by name and with hugs at the gate to home varsity football games. She loves us, and we love her.Joan and her husband, Ted, proudly shepherded four children through St. Michael’s and prepare to graduate their youngest, Adam, this June as a member of SMCA’s Class of 2013.

Robert, SMCA 2007 and West Point 2011, currently serves in Afghani-stan as First Lieutenant in the United States Army; Issac, SMCA 2009, attends and is preparing to graduate this year from Texas A&M; and Rita, SMCA 2010, attends !e College of Wooster with expectations to graduate in 2014.Dr. Volonnino reminded us that the new building will serve as a legacy to Joan and her family, prompting us to share and retell the story of her example and leadership for years

to come. Joan gave us all a giggle - when asked whether she would like to share a few remarks, she replied: “Rarely am I without words!” From the heart, she expressed her grati-tude and continued dedication to St. Michael’s, telling us: “If ever there was a village, THIS is one of the best villages.” True to form, Joan gra-ciously shared the evening’s honor by asking for a building plaque that reads: “In recognition of all SMCA Booster Club Members, who have generously given their time, talent,

and energy for Crusader Athletics.” She also requested and saw the un-veiling of a plaque indicating that the building stands “In Honor of Saint Sebastian,” the Patron Saint of Athletes.We encourage all of you to visit the new building soon, which is located near the Crusader Baseball stadium, and share in the plaque’s prayer: “As St. Sebastian clearly was, may our athletes always be as strong in their faith.”
