Austin, Bowie, Crockett — football is back!

OAK HILL - !e o"cial bound-aries of Oak Hill—there never were any, until recent years when the city held hearings and created the Oak Hill Neighborhood Plan—has been a long-debated subject in the southwest area and a major focus of the Aug. 21 Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission (ICRC) public hearing. At the meeting, held at the Precinct 3 o"ces, residents urged commission members not to split communities along district lines. !e ICRC is a fourteen-member group working to draw a map of ten single-member City Council districts as ordered by the passage of Proposition 3, a City Charter amendment calling for more evenly

Stefan Haag, a member of the ICRC who lives near Circle C, said the request to keep communities together has been a common thread throughout the process. “I think what we’ve learned at each of them is how important their neighborhoods are and how they want to keep them together,” Haag said. Haag said the commission’s ulti-mate goal will be completed when all communities in Austin are served by representatives who are able to understand the challenges within

!e Oak Hill Neighborhood Planning Contact Team (OHNPCT) will hold its annual board member election on September 25. The OHNPCT will elect eight board members. Tom !ayer, an OHNPCT board member who’s been a member since its inception, said the organization, made up of 83 general members and 16 board members, serves as the caretaker of the Oak Hill Neigh-borhood Plan. “!e main way that we manifest that is through proposed land use changes and decisions on proposed land use changes. When a property owner wants to change their use that’s listed on the future land use map (FLUM), which was part of the neighborhood plan, they come to us and we give them a recommendation as to whether or not we support the land use change, don’t support the land use change or suggest an alternative,” !ayer said. “It’s a way to see what property own-ers are planning for their properties and what’s coming to the area, and also to have a say—and if a neighbor or business or any Oak Hill resident wants to have a say—in what the

!" B#!!$% J%&' S&("%) future land use is of a certain part of Oak Hill,” !ayer said. Board members, who are elect-ed by the Contact Team’s general members, serve two-year terms and are responsible for making land use decisions. Elections are staggered so that eight board members are up for re-election each year. !ayer said it’s important that the OHNPCT is made up of individuals from a variety of backgrounds. “We try to have some people from the eastern part of Oak Hill and some people from the western part,” !ayer said. “We want to have neighborhood homeowners, busi-ness owners and other non-resident property owners. We want to have kind of a diverse group of people on there.”

Board member Rick Perkins said the Contact Team can provide valuable guidance to neighborhoods concerned about zoning issues in their community. “!e OHNPCT enables neigh-borhoods to receive assistance and support in learning about the zoning change system and how they can participate,” Perkins said. “!e (OHNPCT) is like the neighbors’ "rst line of support in dealing with zoning changes.” !e City has the last say, but Perkins said, “NPCT hears the arguments and attempts to ‘protect’ the neighborhood plan. !e NPCT may choose to send a letter of support to the Planning Com-mission or recommend changes to an application.” !ayer said the Contact Team

provides a forum for community members and potential developers to hash out ideas and opinions before taking an issue to City Council. “!e best thing that’s happened has been when we’ve had a property owner come to us (when) maybe

“!e OHNPCT enables neigh-borhoods to receive assistance and support in learning about the zon-ing change system and how they can participate. !e (OHNPCT) is like the neighbors’ "rst line of support in dealing with zoning changes.” - Rick Perkins

there’s a neighborhood or other residents that are concerned about a land use change, and the times that we’ve been able to bring the two sides together and forge a compromise,” !ayer said. “!at’s been the most satisfying.”

Daddies, It’s OK to Miss Your Little Girls

Watching my oldest daughter stride so smartly into her senior year of high school, and my youngest girl, a sophomore, con!dently follow in her steps, I found myself struck recently with a peculiar mix of great pride and vague twinges of guilt. It took me some soul-searching and serious contemplation—and serious contemplation comes grindingly hard for me these days—to de-termine the root of my emotional mélange, but I think I !gured it out: I miss my little girls. And I feel guilty for missing them because they’re not even gone! But in a way, they are. Somewhere along the line, at some moment in time among those pre-cious years, my little girls grew up. Somewhere between those nights reading them Goodnight Moon while they settled to sleep in their Winnie-the-Pooh footsies and then suddenly watching them, dressed so beautifully, walk out the door with their boyfriends, my babies became young women. How did that happen? All the old jokes about sitting on the front porch with a shotgun aside, watching one’s little girls mature

into womanhood is such a tough and tender time for fathers. It’s not so much that I’m not the No. 1 man in their lives anymore. Heck, most of my daughters’ boyfriends so far have been pretty good guys—most of them, mind you. And if you don’t know which list you’re on, boyfriends out there, that’s inten-tional. Watch your step. No, it’s the small things I miss—those little girl moments like the times I would take them for a ride up the stairs, either piggyback or on my feet, as bedtime came; those long summer days at the neighborhood pool when they would yell for me to throw them high-er into the air for that great splash; the giggles and smiles I’d receive when I’d bring them little toys and trinkets; and the unashamed kisses and hugs I somehow took for grant-ed. One of my sweetest memories of those days is the time I was tucking my youngest in for the night, and she asked me: “Daddy, can I marry you when I grow up?” Gets me every time when I think about that. Now that they’re teenagers, most

shows of a"ection—and bits of pa-rental advice—are usually met with a long roll of the eyes and a sarcastic “Oh, Dad!” But I know that’s only normal. #e species humanus teena-geus can be a snarling, confounding

breed. My wife and I of-ten sit and ponder when that time will come when they !rst realize we’re not complete lamebrains and they utter those cher-ished words: “Mom and Dad, you were right!” And now that I’ve had time to work through my thoughts, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s OK to miss my little girls. #ey’re big girls now, and I love them with all of my heart for

who they are and for the bright, talented adults they’ll become. One of the things I’m most thankful for is that even though I’ll always miss those days of Barbies and cartoons and forts made of bedsheets—and letting them do makeovers on me in their Two Sisters Salon—I didn’t miss the days as they happened. It wasn’t all roses; all parents know and appreciate the great challenge, the tremendous patience, and the utter lack of sleep involved in raising little ones—but I wouldn’t trade those days for anything in the world. Well, on second thought, if I had it all to do over again, I’d skip the !ngernail polish. How on earth do you get that out?

M!"# J$%&#' !e word from Oak Hill is... newspapers. My buddy Scott from Atlanta is in town. Scott and I used to work for a company that published computer magazines, real ones, before the Internet, back in the wild and wooly days of the ‘90s when computers were divided into mainframes, work stations, and PCs. Scott was editor in chief of two or three computer magazines, and I was copy editor of Scott’s two ‘zines and several more at the now-defunct company whose name escapes me. We didn’t work together for long, and both of us moved on to bigger and better things. I became a prominent Austin musician (un-fortunately, only prominent among other Austin musicians). And Scott went on to be a copy editor for the Times. Yes, the NY Times, the real one. !e last paper standing, I bet. He also became one of the casu-alties of the Internet, when the NY Times initiated massive layo"s, as all newspapers eventually did. And where did newspapers start with the layo"s? Not with the ad salespeople (except for classi#eds, thank you Craig’s List) but with copy editors. You know what copy editors are called in every other business?

Quality control. Guess that explains why you see so many typos in newspapers these days. I even found one in Playboy Magazine, the literary journal that poses as a girlie mag. Or at least it did up until 10 years ago. When I found that errant jump in Playboy, I canceled my subscrip-tion. And yes, I did read it for the articles. If I want photos, I can surf the Internet for free. But I digress. Tomorrow (read: Wednesday, be-cause my deadline is Tuesday) I plan to have lunch with Scott and talk to him about the future of newspapers. Because he pretty much gave up on journalism a$er he was laid o" at the Times, and took his handsome severance package and marched o" to law school. He then graduated from law school and became one of the most decorated, scholarly and accomplished of all the unemployed people I know today. Yet he’s thinking about getting another newspaper job. Look. I’ve written for the Internet, and I’ve written for newspapers and magazines—what I like to call the analog press. And I and every other

journalist who writes for the Internet as well as newspapers or magazines have noticed something. If we publish something only on the Internet, people don’t take it all

that seriously. Don’t get me wrong. !ey might un-friend me on Facebook, but they’ll likely never trumpet my praises if I’ve written something they like. However, if I write something in a newspaper or a magazine, it’s a much bigger deal. If they like it, they cut

it out, put it in picture frames and post it on the wall of their business. Or carry it around in their wallets as if it were a photo of a grandchild. If they don’t like it, they just un-friend me on Facebook. !at seems to be the proper punishment these days, short of legal action or gunplay. But I’ve strayed from my point yet again. What’s up with newspapers? Are they dying? Or are they baubles for billionaires? John Henry, primary owner of the Boston Red Sox, bought the Boston Globe for 70 million. It once sold for 1.1 billion. And Je" Bezos, owner of Amazon.

Post—arguably the second most prestigious paper in the US (some would claim the first) for $270 million. I guess my question really is—are newspapers back?

Saw a !yer near the Wells Fargo Bank at the Y. Some people lost their bird. Looked like a parrot to me. Sure hope it’s not the parrot that belongs to the Parrot Lady of Scenic Brook Drive. I doubt it. If the parrot isn’t willing to !y o" her shoulder to freedom and sovereignty, why would he bolt the cage? Besides, does that parrot even have a cage? Beats the hell out of me. One more question. How long do you think it takes before people real-ize that they can email me at [email protected] when they want to get the word out about their pets? Seriously, the Oak Hill Gazette has never charged anybody a cent to publicize a lost pet. So email us or call us at 512-301-0123.

Speaking of lost animals, a little girl lost her prized African tortoise, a beautiful specimen with contrasting black and white markings on his shell. #e tortoise has been missing since July in the Windmill Run area. Please keep an eye out if you live around Windmill Run or the Sce-nic Brook area and give JC a call at

Bob Sarnataro is starting a new

open mic at the 290 West Club, lo-cated right before the Nutty Brown Café on Hwy. 290 (appropriately enough) at the cusp of Travis and Hays counties. If you haven’t met him, Bob is one of the nicest guys in the world. If you have met him, you already know that. He’s also an accomplished mu-sician, who knows his way around a Stratocaster. #e open mic for singer-song-writers—or solo, duo, trio or band cover artists, you don’t have to write your own stu"—is every Wednesday

night from 9:30 to midnight.

I hate that we now have to type the

area code when making a phone call. I have a suggestion. If anyone has a number that starts in an area code other than 512, they have to move. Right away. Like now. We won’t tar and feather you—al-though we should—just move. And keep your baseball o" my lawn.

Want your neighborhood associ-ation highlighted? Have a story you need to tell? Would you like to rat out a neighbor? If so, be sure to email me at [email protected] and get the word out.

B! T. Q. J"#$%

!e new 2014 Kia Sorento LTD is drawing a lot of (deserved) attention as kind of a minivan on an SUV platform that can hold seven people (though it helps if most of them are relatively small; say the second string of the neighborhood soccer team.) !e new hot thing (well, one of

them, anyway) in the auto world is the seven-passenger car, (probably as a result of all the new soccer moms and dads.) All of a sudden seating for at least six players plus the driver is almost mandatory. !is new Sorento has seven seats, but the rear two are still better used for soccer equipment, not soccer players. We actually noticed something else

about the new Kia: how well it and other current vehicles have answered the problem posed by the Explorer and other vehicles with supposed mechanical shortcomings. (A friend of ours blew a tire on her Mercury and was only annoyed because she had

to call her husband to come change the blown tire. No wreck, no drama, no injuries and no news headlines.) Most new cars have an anti-locking

brake system and electronic stability control and traction control; in other words, things that make the driver a better driver. But it reminded us that, back in

the day, Ford Motor Company was having problems with the big Lincoln town car. It seems the drum brakes were overheating and fading when they were called on to stop the car a#er some time on the road. Ford looked at everything they could and couldn’t $nd a reason for the brakes to fade, so they took a long look at the drivers, mostly older folks who could a%ord to drive the big Lincolns. What they supposedly found was

that many of those older drivers of the big cars tended to drive with one foot resting on the brake, maybe for safety, maybe just as a kind of talisman. But driving like that tended to heat the brakes up, and the old drum brakes

didn’t work too well when you really needed them and they were hot. Some might think the solution to the problem would be to try and ed-ucate the drivers. But Ford proba-bly knew that was a lost cause, and just put a heavier return spring on the brakes so it would take more pressure on the pedal to get the brakes hot. !at was pretty far back, you under-

stand, and we had yet to go through things like the Ford Explorer $asco with various auto makers (just about all of them, come to think about it) being charged with building cars that just accelerated on their own. !e “$x” for that was to put a lockout on all cars with automatic transmissions that kept, excuse me, that keeps the car from starting unless the shi#er is in park.

T. Q. Jones

2014 Kia Sorento SX LTD

&e Kia Sorento is a good ride with plenty of power and all the inside gadgets everyone wants.

Car Review

Still, the die was cast, and the solu-tion to problems with cars is always to adjust the car, not the driver. Just take a look at what comes on the new Sorento (and a number of other cars on the market): For power, a modern 3.3-liter

DOHC V6 with variable valve timing, a six speed automatic transmission, independent front and rear suspen-sion, all wheel drive and a locking center di%erential. Most vehicles on the market have multiple air bags and anti-locking brakes, along with electronic stability control. Despite the engine size, the Sorento is rated

at 20 miles per gallon in the city and at 24 mpg on the highway. (We saw an overall average in a week of 18.1 mpg.) It had an anti-locking brake system

with electronic stability control, trac-tion control and electronic stability control and on the Sorento, a six-speed automatic transmission, and hill start assist. Everything else aside, it’s a good

ride with plenty of power and all the inside gadgets everyone wants in a roomy package that lists for $41,600. More minivan than SUV, it’s also more practical.

!e St. Michael’s Crusaders showed heart in staging a strong second-half comeback victory over visiting San Antonio Christian Friday night to prevail 32 to 24. Head Coach Darrell Pantalone and his sta" made the right moves at hal#ime as the focus, intensity and execution of the squad increased signi$cantly as the game progressed—particularly, on the o"ensive side of the ball. Both o"enses were a little rusty early in this season opener, however the SMCA defense generally played well. For SMCA, deep snapper Zach DeVries had a bone-crushing tackle on a punt. Defensive linemen, Sam Mancill, and Emile Gilbeau made several nice tackles along with line-backer Regan Hahn. Safety Chris Lewis intercepted two SAC passes and defensive end Malcolm Postell was able to get a strong pass rush from his defensive end position. Facing a 3–10 de$cit at hal#ime, SMCA began to take control. A#er a great defensive stop to start the 3rd quarter, the offense started clicking. SMCA running back Postell exploded 70 yards down the SMCA sideline to the SAC two yard line. From there Carlton connected with receiver John Schneider for the $rst SMCA touchdown of the 2013

season. Carlton then scored a ni#y 2-point conversion pushing SMCA to an 11–10 lead. A#er a fumble gave SAC a short $eld, which they utilized to score a TD and regain the lead, the Cru-saders responded quickly. Jameson Houston has a kicko" return of over 40 yards. Regan Hahn, Postell and Carlton all ran the ball e"ectively while receivers Sean Sliney and Schneider made several catches in the drive. !e 55-yard drive cul-minated with a beautiful 18-yard TD catch in the back corner of the end zone by Sliney. !e resulting PAT was no good a#er being par-tially blocked so the score remained knotted at 17. SAC is a strong team with a history of deep playo" runs in TAPPS 4A so they did not go quietly. Using a good kick return they mounted a drive of their own to take a 24–17 lead on the $rst play of the 4th quarter. However, the St. Michael’s Crusaders have their own tradition in the largest TAPPS Division, class 5A; winning their district title for $ve consecutive years and making the State Semi-Finals last season. !e Crusaders would not be denied the win as SMCA defenders Chris Lewis and Zach DeVries combined

to cause and recover a mu"ed punt. Riding the momentum of this SAC turnover, the offense promptly gained yardage in big chunks and Carlton cashed in for a SMCA touchdown on a zone-read QB keeper inside the far pylon. !e quarterback was not done as he literally %ipped into the end zone again for a 2-point conversion on the next play. SMCA took a 25–24 lead which it would not relinquish. To thwart SAC’s comeback e"ort,

With Austin Eschenburg posting a 131.6 quarterback rating and the Bulldog ground game averaging 6.9 yards per carry, Bowie disposed of P!ugerville 42-14 Friday evening at Burger Stadium. “I was pleased with the e"ort,” Bowie coach Je" Albes said a#erward. “Our o"ense looked good. Pflugerville is an athletic team.” Bowie hits the road $ursday to tangle with Westwood, while P!ugerville hosts Austin High on Friday. Cole Myers initiated the scoring for Bowie with a 31-yard touch-down run, and Connor Flanigan converted the extra point. Jonathan Wallace countered with a rushing touchdown and P!ugerville tied

$e Crockett Cougars overcame a sluggish start Friday, but David Lowery’s consistent playmaking ability for the Eagles helped Akins defeat Crockett 26-23 at Burger Stadium. “$is is our opening test to see where we are,” said Crockett coach John Waugh. “We’ve got things to improve on and if we get those things %xed, we’ll be a formidable team.” Crockett travels south to take on Lockhart Friday, while Akins hosts McCallum at Burger. Led by pursuing linebacker Seth Riojas, the Crockett defense forced a punt to open the game, but the brown and gold o"ense

A prized recruit for the Univer-sity of Houston Cougars guided Westwood past Austin High 42-13 Friday night at House Park. At 6’3’ 234 lbs., pro-style quarterback Bear Fenimore tossed three touchdowns and connected on all but four of his throws. $e Maroons must now shi# gears to defend the non-stop ground game of P!ugerville, while Westwood hosts Bowie $ursday evening at Kelly Reeves Stadium o" Parmer Lane. $e Warriors struck %rst with a long pass from Fenimore to Travis Dale. Mason Bartek extended the visitor’s lead with a short rushing score. Deon Barnes, featured as the Maroons’ primary rusher, crossed the goal line on a physical run late in the %rst quarter. Junior Finn Hockey then split the uprights to slice the Warrior advantage in half. Mason Choate worked at both running back and defensive end for Austin High. Westwood added four more touch-

the game 7-7 with 33.3 seconds re-maining in the %rst period. On the subsequent return, Steve Johnson waited patiently for his blockers to clear a path before darting to the 48-yard line. Eschenburg hit Johnson with pro-ductive passes to both the le# and right perimeter, before the senior signal caller crossed the goal line on the %rst play of the second quarter. “I thought we came out ready to go,” stated the Bowie quarterback. “We wanted it more than they did.” Following a fumble recovery by Pedro Martinez, Johnson caught another pass and !ew down the le# sideline for a touchdown with eleven minutes le# until hal#ime.

Lowery glided through an opening created by the Eagle right tackle and rushed for a 45-yard touchdown to open scoring in the contest. $e Akins defense added a safety, and an intercep-tion by Lowery at linebacker, be-fore a lengthy scoring reception put the Eagles on top 18-0.

A!er A.J. Lionberger recorded a sack, P"ugerville threw an in-complete pass in the end zone on fourth down instead of opting for a short #eld goal attempt. Eschen-burg located Jake Walton for three receptions on the next Bowie pos-session, including a scoring strike over the middle. Bowie led 28-7 at intermission. Myers blasted through the middle of the Panther defense for an ad-ditional rushing score in the third period. Tyler Walker picked o$ a P"ugerville pass before Eschenburg provided insurance with a short scoring plunge late in the game. A comfortable lead enabled backup quarterback Preston Wheeler to see extensive action. “He did a great job and led the team well while he was in,” Bowie co-o$ensive coor-dinator Ty Branyon noted. “He is an extremely hard worker and a great leader for our football team. We are con#dent that if something happens to Austin that the team is in good hands.”

TxDOT engineers rather than a Fix 290 plan. “In each of these meetings there were suggestions provided by our group and solutions by TxDOT engineers,” Cespedes said. “It was tremendous. It was like a whole new world. We were very optimistic.” Cespedes said Fix 290 submitted additional ideas, suggestions and approvals to TxDOT following their August meeting and is currently waiting on a new dra! and draw-ing of the concept from TxDOT engineers. "e Mobility Authority released a list of some of the features Fix 290 wants to see in the new alternative, which includes the following:• U.S. 290 being partially depressed in a rolling pro#le• All major cross streets go over US 290• A modi#ed roundabout instead of direct connection ramps at U.S. 290 and SH 71 • William Cannon realigned to avoid large trees on the south side• Minimize construction that would increase impervious cover, compro-


Continued from p. 1 mise trees or channelize Williamson Creek However, in a Fix 290 position paper authored by Fix 290 member and engineer Bruce Melton, the co-alition stated its opposition to some of the points listed in the Mobility Authority release. While the Mobility Authority states that the new alternative will include “only one overpass at the ‘Y’ —for westbound tra$c,” Melton said Fix 290’s preferred concept, deemed Alternative F, does not include an overpass. “Alternative F has no bridge,” Melton said in an email response. “"e mainlanes are depressed like all other alternatives and everything else is at ground level.” Cespedes said the Mobility Author-ity’s statement that neighborhoods would not have direct access to U.S. 290 and “minor street access would be cul-de-sac’d o% where possible to limit direct access to major arterials” is at odds with Fix 290’s vision. “Neighborhood access is not cut o% at any time,” Cespedes said. “"e only street that is cul-de-sac’d in this plan, if they buy it, is Hill Oaks. Hill

Oaks has access to Escarpment and doesn’t have to feed directly onto the 290 main lanes.” Fix 290 member Beki Halpin said she believes TxDOT’s inclusion of greener solutions is a promising change of pace for the historically concrete-oriented organization. “"e beauty of Oak Hill is of course what draws people out here, so we wanted to preserve that beauty and I think they’re trying to do that now. "e #rst round, they didn’t even mark where the trees were, hardly, let alone think about preserving them,” Halpin said. “Now they’re marking where the trees are, thinking about how to preserve them and thinking about the creek and how they can preserve the creek.” Halpin said the e%orts of concerned community members is re&ected in all the alternatives, which favor limited elevation over TxDOT’s original &yover plan. “All of the design alternatives that they’re presenting have low or almost no elevation to them, but they’re still perfectly functional,” Halpin said. “"ey still get tra$c through Oak Hill and around Oak Hill. It seems to me like it’s been a win-win result.” Halpin said a major goal of Fix 290’s contribution is to provide convenient access to all areas of Oak Hill. “"e alternative that we are present-ing allows, I think, the best access. We tried really hard to preserve the

access to all of the establishments, businesses, neighborhoods, hospi-tals, ACC and the schools,” Halpin said. “We tried very hard to think ‘If you lived here and you wanted to go here, could you get there? How could you get there?” We tried to preserve all of that access as well as realize the goals for the highways. In that regard I think people should get behind it.” Cespedes said there are still several factors at play when considering the future of the Oak Hill Parkway. “We’re looking 20, 30 years into the future. "ere will be di%erent busi-nesses, di%erent settlement patterns, di%erent developments, hopefully more green space preserved. During the process, before this is #nally funded and constructed, there will be several decision points. We’re go-ing to have to have funds approved, we’re going to have to #nd where the money is coming from,” Cespedes said. “"at’s what happened with the

old road. You have a plan, but then you have reality.” "at is one major factor still yet to be determined: how to pay for the project, whatever it may be. “We have been informed that this phase of the conversation does not involve #nancing. It doesn’t involve economics,” Cespedes said. "e involvement of the Mobility Authority, a tolling authority, has led many to believe the project will be tolled, said Cespedes, who said Fix 290 largely favors a non-tolled roadway. “We have to consider both tolled and non-tolled alternatives,” Ces-pedes said. Dan Rogers, a professional transportation engineer who’s been driving through the ‘Y’ since the 1970s, said an at-grade parkway option doesn’t provide the necessary tra$c capacity to carry Oak Hill into the future.

“In each of these meetings there were suggestions provided by our group and solutions by TxDOT en-gineers. It was tremendous. It was like a whole new world. We were very optimistic.” - Carol Cespedes

“!e whole issue is capacity. When everybody talks about a parkway what they miss in the concept is that there’s not nearly the through-vehicle capacity of a parkway lane that there would be of a freeway lane,” Rogers said. “If you take a four-lane freeway and turn it into a parkway, it would take an eight-lane parkway to carry the same capacity of a four-lane freeway.” Parkway proponents have pointed out in the past that tra"c moves slower on a park-way lane (especially if there are scenic landscaping elements le# intact), allowing cars to travel closer together, thus somewhat compensating in capacity for the fewer cars at higher speeds that are spaced much farther apart on a typical freeway. Rogers said a proper transpor-tation plan should address not only the vehicles that currently travel through the ‘Y,’ but also the residents who have been using alternative routes to avoid the congested 290/71 intersection. Rogers added that su"cient tra"c capacity through the ‘Y’ should support approximately 82,000 vehicles. “Everybody that lives in Oak Hill has a way to get around the ‘Y,’” Rogers said. “You can’t get a parkway to $x what’s there because the demand will rise to whatever level of capacity is built unless you build (with su"cient


Continued from p. 17 capacity).” Rogers said he prefers an option with grade-separated intersec-tions and direct freeway level access to and from SH 71, similar to what was originally proposed by TxDOT. “!e original concept was a freeway with grade separation intersections at William Cannon and SH 71. In other words, all the SH 71 tra"c does not intersect with the 290 tra"c and all the William Cannon tra"c does not intersect with the through tra"c on 290/71,” Rogers said. “!e problem is U.S. 290—while it’s connected to a freeway and has freeway level tra"c—it’s not a freeway.” While the Oak Hill Parkway remains a point of contention for the Oak Hill community, Cespedes said the project has allowed the community to create a dialogue and work together to $nd a solution. “I think what we have done is provide a channel for com-munication among people who care enough to be involved in it,” Cespedes said. “We’ve been able to open serious conversations and keep it on track.” !e Oak Hill Parkway project was launched in November 2012 with a series of open houses and public meetings to develop alternative design concepts. Nine concepts were released to the public last May.

Tamez for a long passing play into the Eagle red zone. Fullback Isjalea Greene then ran across the goal line and Adrian Herrera’s extra point kick cut the Akins advantage to 18-7 at intermission.

Crockett loses a close one to AkinsContinued from p. 12 Eagle defender, sprinted right for

a 54-yard scoring dash. Louis and Greene again provided a spark on the subsequent Cougar possession that ended with Tamez catching an 8-yard scoring strike from Ochoa. Herrera’s kick then banged o! the le" upright, but Crockett went in front 20-18 with 7:45 remaining in the third quarter. Lineman Aaron #omas and Luis Sanchez combined with linebacker DJ Wilhite to swarm the Eagle of-

fense and consistently harass Akins quarterback Ryan Medrano early in the fourth quarter. A"er near misses earlier in the game, the Cougar spe-cial teams broke through the Eagle line and blocked an Akins punt to give Crockett the ball inside the Akins 10-yard line. With Dominic Rodriguez snapping and Marshall Mindieta holding, Herrera extended the Cougar lead to 23-18 with a 30-yard $eld goal. Akins began their $nal drive with

less than four minutes le", and Me-drano eluded Crockett defenders with rushes and a pass play to senior receiver Ronald Tate. Lowery even-tually barreled through and over the Cougar defenders on a touchdown jaunt as 40.7 seconds remained. A"er a successful Akins two-point conversion, Ochoa skillfully located

receivers to advance the Cougars down$eld, but an errant toss down the le" sideline was intercepted by Lowery to seal the victory for the Eagles. “I’m proud of my team,” a happy Lowery stated a"erward. “I wouldn’t have done it without my team.”

their community. “Circle C has felt for sometime, and other people in southwest Austin have felt for some time, that they aren’t represented. !is is an opportunity to correct that. Not only for southwest Austin but for other areas of Austin as well,” Haag said. “I think we’re going to "nd ten individuals who are interested in the community, who represent their community, who are aware of the issues in their community and they bring them to the Council’s attention.” Ed Scruggs, former president of the Circle C Home Owners Association, said he wants the commission to recognize the political and economic diversity that exists in southwest Austin. “When you consider districts in the south and southwest, keep in mind the area is a little more diverse than people believe it to be,” Scruggs said. “Whoever would be elected from this district I think would have a lot of di#erent opinions to draw from.” Scruggs spoke against lumping everything west of Mopac togeth-er, stressing the common interests among southwest Austin and Oak Hill residents. “I could envision something from Brodie Lane going all the way to the west, then maybe going up north to possibly Ben White or up to where 360 turns —maybe incorporating Travis Country,” Scruggs said. Eliza May, a resident of Travis Country and member of Austinites for Geographic Representation, said gaining individual representation for the Oak Hill area will ensure a larger focus on suburban issues among City Council members. “!e city of Austin predominantly has been most concerned with urban issues and has not really addressed the issues that come with our terri-tory,” May said. “We de"nitely are not an urban area. We’re a suburban area. So we have those issues that come with the area that we live in.” Herman Prager, an adjunct profes-

Residents sound o! on possible Oak Hill district

Continued from p. 1sor of government at Austin Com-munity College, said redistricting will result in more fair governing throughout the city. “It will, I think, make decision making more di$cult, but it will also result in better representation and more thorough consideration of how proposed and existing public policies a#ect the city,” Prager said. Prager urged the commission to use geographic information systems (GIS), a system which allows users to view and analyze data relating to trends, relationships and patterns within a given area, to avoid unfairly drawn districts. “Draw the ten districts so that the populations are equal and the districts are created that resemble as closely as possible generally boxes or rectangles that resist partisan polit-ical pressure to control outcomes,” Prager said. Rick Perkins, secretary of the Oak Hill Association of Neighborhoods (OHAN), said neighborhoods have been supportive of the redistricting process in hopes that a new delega-tion will allow Oak Hill to have a voice in citywide projects, such as Imagine Austin. Perkins also spoke about residents’ desire for a town center near the ‘Y’ in Oak Hill. “We’ve tried and tried through di#erent council members, but we’ve just had nothing stick and so we’re hoping that a delegate will help us develop some kind of town center or a central place that we can go to that currently doesn’t exist out here,” Perkins said. Marie Acuna, a Western Oaks resi-dent, said an Oak Hill representative on the City Council would help ensure that neighborhood plans are respected and upheld. “Neighborhoods all over this town have spent years and years and hours and hours of their personal time developing neighborhood plans, only to see them overridden by the city,” Acuna said. “I think this is one of the reasons we need the change that we’re moving to.”

AUSTIN - Austinites for Geo-graphic Representation (AGR), a grassroots group of citizens dedicat-ed to developing citizen-developed, fairly-drawn geographic districts from which City Council mem-bers will be elected, presented City Council with district maps for four minority opportunity districts at the Aug. 28 ICRC meeting at the Austin Community College South campus. AGR leader Peck Young said Austin’s opportunity districts, dis-

certain percentage of minorities to allow the minority population to elect a candidate of choice, would include three Hispanic opportunity districts and one African American opportunity district. !e maps were developed in co-ordination with the Texas League of United Latino American Citizens (LULAC) District 7 and the Austin NAACP. “We were committed to "nding out how many districts it took

to guarantee—under the Voting Rights Act—representation for the minority community in Austin,” Young said. Young said while the maps are not the "nal word on minority districts, they should serve as a starting point for the ICRC. “!is is an indication, based on scattered charts, based on the data available and the maps available, where we think you ought to begin,” Young said. AGR’s three 10-1 advisory com-mittee co-chairs also spoke at the hearing. Former state senator Gonzalo Barrientos said using AGR’s maps will help ensure equitable districts and geographic representation. “I believe government closest to the people is best,” Barrientos said. Nelson Linder, president of the Aus-tin NAACP, remembered Arthur B. DeWitty, an African American man

nearly elected to City Council in 1951, when Austin was made up of single-member districts. !e close election lead the City Council to place a charter amendment on the ballot to change Austin to the at-large voting system it remains today. Roger Borgelt, Travis County Republican Party Vice-Chair, discussed the 1977 “gentleman’s agreement,” which designated City Council seats "ve and six as mi-nority seats. “!e fatal #aw in the gentleman’s agreement—and it’s why we’re here tonight presenting these—is that minority communities did not get to elect their own representatives. !is

is illegal under the Voting Rights Act,” Borgelt said. “It’s not really a mistake that the Voting Rights Act is at the very top of the list of the criteria you’re using to draw these districts. It’s really the most import-ant criteria.” ICRC board member and Manchaca resident Mariano Di-az-Miranda said the redistricting e$orts of AGR and ICRC will help create a balance of power that’s been missing in Austin. “I think that this will change and eliminate a lot of bad decisions that the city has made that have taken power away from people of color,” Diaz-Miranda said.
