    BHANA REPORTS

    Benevolent FundSCHOOL WILL BE ENDING SOON AND THOSE SUMMER DAYS ARE ALMOST HERE,IT IS TIME TO START PLANNING FOR OUR NEXT PROJECT. " NATIONAL NIGHT OUT" EVENT........... We can start collecting notebooks, pencils, rulers, glue,erasers, and folders. Donations can be brought to the general meeting. Thank you BHANA for supporting and helping our committee in reaching out to the children and youth. VOLUNTEERS ARE WELCOME!! Call Lucy Eller at 733-9276 or Lola Rodriguez at 844-9276 "ALWAYS REMEMBER CHILDREN AND YOUTH ARE THE MOST ESSENTIAL MEMBERS IN THE COMMUNITY"

    Beacon Hill Community GardenDr. Terry Wahls, a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa, recently wrote an article in the San Antonio Express-News ("Another View' Wednesday, April 15, 2015) in which she discussed community gardens:"Our patients are often on a long list of medications and suffer from obesity, diabetes, chronic pain, mood disorders, autoimmunity and more. We teach them how sugar, white flour and vegetables are connected to their health, depending on their choices. "As our patients replace sugar and white flour with vegetables, their pain fades, weight melts away without hunger, and blood sugar and blood pressure often begin to normalize. And the need for medications steadily falls as health improves."During World War II, 80 percent of Americans self-provisioned their food with so-called victory gardens We need victory gardens againTo have better health, we need gardeners, urban farmers, and community gardeners. We need men and women who are willing to cook and heat home-cooked meals. Our individual and collective health depends on it. "

    Located at Capitol and West Gramercy, Beacon Hill Community Garden is our victory garden! What was once a dumping ground for trash and drug paraphernalia, is now a beautiful and thriving vegetable, native plant, and butterfly garden. The article does not mention an added advantage to gardening: it is great and satisfying exercise which only adds to our physical and mental well-being. Come enjoy the beauty of this place or request a plot of your own. We always need people to help on Saturday workdays. Next Beacon Hill Community Garden event is May 9th. Our garden is part of the Sicloverde bike tour. UTSA students will build our new Harvest Station on May 2, and we will need volunteers to help get the space ready for the tour. The work will begin on both days at 9:00.

    Zoning and Urban Design (ZUD) CommitteeThe Zoning and Urban Design (ZUD) Committee meets the first Thursday of every month at 7PM at 900 W Woodlawn Ave. The NCD standards are available on the citys website at http://www.sanantonio.gov/planning/neighborhoods/urbandesign.asp. We have continued to receive support from the city code enforcement cases. Some property owners who in the recent past have done major work without permits have made repairs and torn down projects that have gone to court over ordinance violations. This is a win for keeping the neighborhood safe and looking good. Signage on commercial property became an issued at our last meeting. Our NCD standards do not allow for commercial signs to be larger than 50 sq. ft. Also remember that all fences require permits.

    Connecting4Community

    On a busy Saturday last December, 40 or 50 of us gathered at a scheduled to be demolished Beacon Hill home to stand with a tired, elderly neighbor whom most of us had never met before. Turns out, hes a dear good neighbor. And its a good house. And together were quite a neighborhood! It was a moment of compassion! We pledged to Save Miguels Home!On April 30th, many of us gathered at Miguels home, again. Our District 1 Council Member, Roberto Trevio, was with us, again. He was with us, in December our brand new Council Member it was his second day on the job! This time, he came with immediate relief for the needs of the moment: he announced a finally-negotiated agreement no demolition, 9 months to repair and renovate the home! Together, we said, We can do that! But he brought movement momentum as well: He came with the Directors of the Citys Department of Development Services and the Citys Office of Historic Preservation. Together, they announced a far reaching collaborative commitment, embodied in his CCR (Council Consideration Request) changing some of the policies and procedures that govern demolition for folk like Miguel in neighborhoods like ours all across the city! He brought a vision of, and a commitment to, a far-reaching movement for justice!

    (continued below)

    Our community needs both: Moments Individual acts of generous charity and Movements Systemic work advocating for justice I used the following favorite quotation, when organizer/activist Bob Comeaux and I up-dated the April BHANA membership meeting about our Save Miguels Home progress:

    Had I but one wish for the churches of America, (The author would say, and I would emphasize, the communities of America!)I think it would be that they come to see the difference between Charity and Justice. Charity is a matter of personal attributes; Justice, a matter of public policy. Charity seeks to eliminate the effects of injustice; Justice seeks to eliminate the causes of it. Charity in no way affects the status quo, while Justice leads inevitably to political confrontation. *

    Our Save Miguels Home commitment embodies both. And we want your partnership in both: A moment of generous charity Watch for our GoFundMe on-line donation appeal, we need your generosity. And then volunteer your time and skill give your gifts, lend your support. Invite your friends. And a movement for systemic justice Watch for City Council hearings on the CCR and the report of the Mayors Task Force on Dynamic and Diverse Neighborhoods testify for justice, work for hope. Enlist your friends. Thanks for being a crucial part of both charity and justice, a moment and a movement. Tom Heger, [email protected] Retired Presbyterian Pastor and Beacon Hill Neighbor * The Reverend William Sloan Coffin, Jr, in Credo, WJKP, 2003.

    Demolition of Homes in Beacon Hill Creates Change

    On Thursday, April 30th, Councilman Roberto Trevio held a press conference at the home of Miguel Calzada's on West French Place in Beacon HIll to celebrate with neighbors on the progress being made on Mr. Calzada's home. The Councilman thanked organizers and announced the start of a GoFundMe site (gofundme.com) to begin soon to raise funds. He also announced his Council Consideration Request (CCR) that will be an effort to bring about some major changes to certain parts of the city code. The proposed changes include the following: Give certain residents who are facing demolition of their homes (over 65, veterans, people with chronic medical

    issues and people who have lived in their homes for over 20 years) an additional six months to come up with a repair plan. No fines would be levied during that time.

    Mandate certain educational and background requirements for appointees to the Building Standards Board. Amend the city code to resolve conflicting votes between the Building Standards Board and the city's Historic

    Design and Review Commission. The City Council Governance Committee will have to hear the CCR before it goes before full council. Beacon Hill appreciates Councilman Trevio's efforts especially in light of the demolitions that have occurred in this neighborhood. Bandit signs, letters from developers or "flippers" and code compliance issues have made many residents feel vulnerable. The CCR aligns with BHANA goals to preserve housing stock where possible and maintain neighborhood stability by keeping people in their homes.
