Residents' flood nightmare
Relevant offers
"A lovely Sunday afternoon" quickly turned into a nightmare for a Richmond family who were forced to escape through a window while floodwaters swirled inside and outside their home.
Lee Cole carried his terrified daughters, aged 7 and 3, on his shoulders to higher ground. It was getting dark and the water level was above his waist. His partner Hayley Lincoln was also upset.
"It wasn't scary but the girls were freaking out . . . that made me freak out. You are supposed to protect your family and when something like that happens you feel helpless," he said.
Water went right through their three-bedroom home and garage. The water was contaminated with sewage, leaving them with no choice but to throw away most of their soggy possessions.
The family have no insurance. A few photos, and the clothes and toys they scrambled to save in a panic before evacuating their rented home is all they have been left with.
Yesterday they were in shock as they cleaned up their home.
"We don't know 'where to' from here," Mr Cole said.
They are one of five families in Arbor-Lea Ave who have had water throughout their houses and now face a long and daunting cleanup. In nearby Melia Place three other houses were flooded.
The Arbor-Lea houses look depressingly similar, with wet carpet, ruined furniture, wet beds, and a layer of smelly mud throughout. A line of mud along the walls - inside and out - marks the level the water reached.
Further down the road Gemma Astwood and Tom Harworth and their 6-week-old baby Nekko, who do not have contents insurance, have been left with nothing as water a metre deep went through their house. They have nowhere to live and yesterday went to see what emergency help was available to them. Paul Williams, the father of Gemma, said this morning they were given a food grant and the Red Cross had given them motel accommodation for three nights, but he did not know where they would go after that.
The stress was taking its toll on the family and last night they had to take baby Nekko to hospital after he broke out in a rash.
The family had just moved into the house and had done it up with new curtains and furniture.
Mr Cole said his family was having "a lovely Sunday afternoon with the kids" when a neighbour knocked on the door to warn them about the flooding.
"I tried to barricade the garage, but the water was flooding the back. As soon as the backyard was full it was going to come into the house. When it started coming, it came in waves. It literally filled up the house a foot within three to four minutes," Mr Cole said.
Once they decided to evacuate he climbed through a lounge window and Ms Lincoln handed him the girls, who had been sitting on the kitchen bench to stay dry as the water rose.
He came back later to salvage "what he could", and said the house was a metre deep in water within 20 minutes.
"It was pretty futile really."
Ms Lincoln said coming back yesterday to see their house was devastating. She had kept hoping it was a dream.
"It was just worse than what we thought it was going to be."
The close-knit neighbourhood was evident yesterday - as neighbours whose own homes had been damaged rallied to help the Coles.
Neighbours Janine Bane and Graham Brewer and Ms Bane's 13-year-old son also escaped through the window of their house as the waters rose.
"We didn't leave until it got to the top of the power plugs."
They shut off the power and climbed out of the window, taking
their dog with them. Water came off the Richmond Hills and down Salisbury Rd - pooling in their street.
At the peak of the flood it was also high tide, which meant the water had nowhere to go.
"When the water started coming in through the bath, shower and dunny I knew we were . . ." Mr Brewer said.
The scale of the cleanup was overwhelming
"It's bloody heart-breaking, actually. It's the sort of thing you see on the news and think 'you poor bastard' and you never think it will happen to you," Ms Bane said.
They were keen to help out Mr Cole and Ms Lincoln.
"They've got no insurance. We will deal with it when the insurance turns up.
"We wanted new carpet, but this wasn't quite the way we wanted to get it," Mr Brewer joked.
Another neighbour Matthew Kerr said the water flowed through his house "like a river".
"The water was coming under the doors and out of the shower and the bath. We couldn't stop any of it."
His 4-year-old son Cody was terrified.
He shifted his car around the corner near Salisbury Rd and carried his son and his daughter, who was visiting for the holidays, to the car.
"It's just drastic. I can't believe it," Mr Kerr said. "I really feel for these people with no insurance down the back here. You see it [flooding] on the news in Australia - the Gold Coast and Brisbane, you don't think it would happen here. I said to my missus, 'Grab my arm, we are out of here'."

Hungary's "Son of Saul" -- which won the Grand Prix at Cannes -- definitely seems like the film to beat here. Mind you, this category is notoriously unpredictable, so calling anything the "frontrunner" here needs to carefully considered. Though "Saul" is certainly the most honored film of the bunch, watch out for a potential dark horse.
Below is Anne Thompson's take on how things might shake down in the race for best foreign language film. Check out Thompson on Hollywood's Oscar predictions page for more awards season analysis. Click here for more category breakdowns on Indiewire.
"Theeb" (Jordan)
"A War" (Denmark)
Predicted Winner: "Son of Saul"

Use it every other Sunday sometimes every Sunday. The feel to it is great. Not too tight maybe a little loose which is cool. The only thing that isn't so great is that it gets rinkled fast, very rinkled and when I pick up my arms its too tight around armpit. All in all it was a great buy thanks.

2011 Seahawks preview: Offense
RENTON -- The Minnesota Vikings did not believe in Tarvaris Jackson as a starting quarterback. The Seattle Seahawks do.
And as the start of the 2011 season approaches, that belief by the Seahawks, more than anything else, will shape how the year plays out.
If Jackson is, as head coach Pete Carroll calls him, "a really good football player" and a "terrific leader," then the Seahawks should contend for a repeat title in an NFC West that again will be far from formidable. If Jackson turns out to be the player who was benched for Gus Frerotte in 2008, and who wasn't worth keeping when his contract ran out after the 2010 season -- the second in a row Jackson spent backing up Brett Favre -- then this figures to be a long year for the Seahawks as they begin their first season in a decade without Matt Hasselbeck under center.
This is the gamble the Seahawks took in the offseason. As the NFL lockout went on and on, wiping out an offseason worth of organized team activities and minicamps, Carroll and general manager John Schneider re-evaluated their plans at the game's most important position. At the end of last season, re-signing Hasselbeck was, in Carroll's words, the team's top priority, but a deal was not reached before the lockout went into place in March. Then as the labor battle lasted into July, the Seahawks changed course. Instead of going hard after Hasselbeck in free agency, they made Jackson their top target. He had, after all, spent five seasons playing under Darrell Bevell, who the Seahawks hired in January as their offensive coordinator.
And throughout training camp, Carroll has had nothing but praise for Jackson, whom he named the starter at the beginning of camp. After losing his starting job one season, then spending the next two as part of the supporting cast in the annual Brett Favre drama, Jackson could be bitter. He could view this season as a chance to stick it to everyone who has ever doubted him. His chance to show the Vikings they made a mistake by not trying to re-sign him.
Instead, Jackson would rather focus on rewarding people who have had faith in him, including his new team.
"It's a great opportunity to go out here and prove everybody right," he said. "I don't want to say prove everybody wrong. There are people who don't believe in me, but it's about proving the people that believe in me right."
If that's not Pete Carroll's brand of positivity, what is?
Of course, for a quarterback to function, he needs help around him, as well as a locker room and huddle that believes in him. And if there was any doubt about the team getting behind Jackson, it should have been erased this week when his teammates voted him captain of the offense. Jackson still has to prove he can be a successful starter in Seattle, but he already has won the belief of his teammates.
"It's a tough situation to come into with Matt leaving and so much criticism and ridicule for a guy who has yet to really have his shot to play," wide receiver Mike Williams said. "It's kind of unbelievable. If it's overwhelming for a teammate, then it has to be enough for him. I kind of want to tell everybody, 'Just back the hell up, let him play.'"
If Jackson's teammates take the criticism of their quarterback harder than he does, that's only because Jackson has so much practice at it. Jackson was once viewed as the future of the Vikings franchise, taking over the starting job in his second season, and compiling an 8-4 record in the games he started. But after an 0-2 start in 2008, the job went to Frerotte. Then Favre came to town. Then, after much deliberation, he came back for the 2010 season. Rather than feel sorry for himself, however, Jackson decided he might as well take advantage of having a future Hall-of-Famer in the locker room, and even though he played sparingly the past two seasons, he said he's better for it.
"It helped me out a lot," Jackson said. "Sitting back and watching someone do it who could do it at a very high level, I just tried to learn as much as I could from it and apply it to my game and grow as a quarterback. I still have learning to do, but I feel like I made strides in the last two years even though I wasn't playing."
But even with Favre finally out of the picture, trying to re-establish himself in the only NFL city he knew wasn't really an option for Jackson.
"It was time," he said. "I had some good times there, and I still feel like I could have done good things there, but when it came down to it, it was time to go."
And despite starting a new chapter in his career, Jackson isn't in an entirely foreign situation. He knows the offense having spent his entire career under Bevell, and has a 6-foot-4, Velcro-handed, athletic-as-heck security blanket in Sidney Rice, who was his teammate for four seasons in Minnesota before signing with Seattle in free agency. Bevell, who encouraged Carroll and Schneider to sign Jackson, has seen an improved and more mature quarterback in training camp this season.
"He really handled himself well in Minnesota in terms of all the challenges that he had," Bevell said. "There were a lot of them. He made the most of the experience while he was there, whether it was playing or being benched. Then all of a sudden Brett Favre comes in, and he said, 'Well, if I'm going to be sitting behind him, I might as well learn something from him.' And he learned a lot. I can see some of the things that he picked up from Brett that have made his play better."
So now Jackson is getting his chance. He acknowledges that, should he fail here, he may not get another chance to start in the NFL. But that won't shake his confidence, not after so many ups and downs in Minnesota. And in Seattle, Jackson has found a team that believes in his abilities as much as he does.
"I think we have a really good football player in Tarvaris and a terrific leader and I'm excited that he's on our team," Carroll said. "I've been excited. All of our coaches have been. We've seen plenty. It's a long haul. There are a lot of games coming at us and all that -- we'll see how he handles the rigors of the season and all--but there's no reason to not think he's going to be able to make the plays we want to make and run this team like we want him to run it."
The question now, the one that will go a long way toward shaping this season, is if Carroll and the Seahawks are right about Jackson. Beginning Sunday, we'll start to find out.

Seahawks' starting offense
QBTarvaris JacksonAfter spending two years as Brett Favre's backup in Minnesota, Jackson gets his chance to start. If Jackson struggles, a quarterback controversy could develop because backup Charlie Whitehurst enjoyed a strong preseason.
RB Marshawn LynchA midseason acquisition last year, the former first-round pick had little room to run behind a patchwork line, but still had his moments, none more memorable than his 67-yard touchdown run in the playoffs. Lynch will share carries with Leon Washington and Justin Forsett.
FB Michael RobinsonThe converted running back held on to the starting job he won last season and also is expected to be a big contributor on special teams.
WR Mike Williams Revived his career last season after two years out of the league. Now Williams is hoping to improve on last year's numbers (65 catches, 751 yards, two TDs), and should see more single coverage with the addition of Sidney Rice.
LT Russell OkungWhen healthy, Okung showed why the Seahawks used their top pick on him last season. Now he has to answer questions about his ability to stay healthy after suffering an ankle sprain in the first preseason game.
LG Robert GalleryThe Seahawks have signed a number of veterans to try to fill this spot since Steve Hutchinson left five years ago. Will Gallery finally be the answer? Could miss the opener with a sprained knee.
C Max UngerAfter missing 15 games last season, and playing guard for most of his rookie year, Unger is back at his natural position. He will be expected to lead an inexperienced line.
RG John MoffittThe third-round pick out of Wisconsin should be a force in the running game. How he'll handle an NFL-caliber pass rush is the bigger concern.
RT James CarpenterThe Seahawks used their first-round pick on Carpenter, who struggled with pass protection in the preseason. Even if he is the long-term solution, don't be surprised if Breno Giacomini opens the season as the starter here.
TE Zach MillerOne of the league's best pass-catching tight ends (126 receptions over the past two seasons), Miller was one of Seattle's biggest free-agent signings. He'll have even more responsibility than expected because of the season-ending injury suffered by John Carlson.
WR Sidney RiceThe former Viking says the hip problems that limited him to six games last season are behind him, and that he's ready to return to his 2009 form (83 catches, 1,312 yards, eight TDs). If Rice can do that, Seattle could have its first Pro-Bowl receiver since Brian Blades (1989).

After struggling in the first three games of this series, Paul Millsap turned in the greatest scoring night of his career, scoring 45 points on 19-31 shooting — the most points scored by any Hawk in the playoffs since Dominique Wilkins back in the late 80's. That's just incredible, and Millsap was just incredible.
"Just put an emphasis on being aggressive, I felt like I wasn't aggressive in the first three games and especially on the road, your backs against the wall you got to be aggressive. So, I just wanted to do that tonight and set a tone that way." — Paul Millsap
"He was our offense. … His performance was amazing. That Paul Millsap right there was pretty awesome. He was in a funk the first couple of games. We knew that he was due to explode. It was good to see. That was the only positive out of this game." — Al Horford

What do you do with your toddler while settling baby to sleep?
Started by Emma600 , Apr 23 2012 02:17 PM

Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:17 PM
I have an almost 3 year old DD and a DS almost 5 months.
Up until recently it been fairly easy to settle him down for his day sleeps, wrap, dummy a minute or 2 of rocking and into a swing chair so entertaining my 3 year old while I did this wasn't really a problem. But in the last few weeks he has become increasingly aware of and interested in the world around him. It takes ages to settle him, he wants to look at everything and any little noise stops him from closing his eyes. Plus the swing chair doesn't seem to keep him asleep anymore he wakes after 15-20 minutes and needs re-settling. So I seem to spend what feels like a large part of the day trying to settle him and my 3 year old is finding it very hard to occupy herself ....nor is it really fair to ask her to, she needs me too ...... but it's such a frustrating process I find I'm getting cranky with her.
There must be a better way.... any more experienced mums have any suggestions or thoughts?
Today I'm resorting to using the TV .... it's pouring with rain and she has a cold so I don't feel bad about it today but rather it didn't become a long term thing.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:22 PM
I used the TV. It was only for a short time, so I don't feel bad for it.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:25 PM
My DS turned 3 in March and my DD is now 15 months but back when she was 5 or 6 months old I had the same problem. I used the TV more than I wanted to on most occasions when I was trying to settle DD.
I have no trouble now as DS understands that DD is trying to sleep and he can't come in, but didn't understand it when she was younger. I tried puzzles and books and 'special' toys that only came out when it was sleep time for DD but more often than not he wanted me to look or play WITH him so they didn't really work for me.
Ultimately the only thing that worked was perservering until he was a bit older and had more of an understanding, but in the meantime the TV was the only thing that held his attention for long enough to let me have 10 or 15 minutes to settle DD.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:25 PM
Its going to be tuff if your baby has had 5 months of being rocked and settled...
But if you tuff it out the benefits will be great in the long run.
babies need to learn to settle themselves... they arent born with it. I never rocked either of my children I put them in their bassinette or stroller awake when they were sleepy but not over tired and let them fall asleep on their own.
I know it must seem harsh but if its impacting your life then you need to do something different.
Your baby will cry - but they cannot cry forever. I know friends who had to un-do rocking who would lay baby in the bassinette or cot; make no eyecontact but pat their stomach innitially to ease the transition.
Good luck with whatever you choose & remember what fun you can have with your toddler if you had that extra time.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:26 PM
I have a four year old DS and a five month old. When I'm putting the baby to bed, I get DS1 to watch his favourite show on TV. That seems to distract him enough most of the time. I also found that giving him something to eat can distract him for a while.

Hi Emma600,
The TV is my long term plan at the moment. I have a 20 month old and a 5 month old and to get the baby off to sleep is getting increasingly harder, because as you said, they are more aware now, and any noise she wants to look at.
I have tried putting my DD1 to sleep first, then settle the baby, but this only works when DD1 is actually due for a sleep
For the rest, I just have the TV on, or organise afternoon tea/morning tea and DD1 in the highchair concentrating on food, while I feed DD2 off to sleep.
Hope you find your rhythym soon.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 02:28 PM
We do a little tv here, too. I also have a few favourite boxes of toys that only come out when baby is being settled. DD1 will happily play with her tea set in her room for at least half an hour since it only comes out a couple of times a week.
My DD2 was starting to do the awake after 15-20 minute thing, too. I started putting her down about 5 minutes earlier and she's settling within 5-10 minutes now.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 04:44 PM
i either used to put the twins (4years older) to bed first, then boob dd, or just put dd in the sling and let her do her own thing
i always made sure it was noisy at sleeptime so she was used to it
Posted 23 April 2012 - 04:51 PM
Another one raising my hand saying ABC Kids was an absolute life saver. When the girls were toddler / baby - if I was trying to get the baby to sleep - I would set up the toddler in front of the TV - with a snack and then do my darnest to get the baby to sleep.
Yes, I did feel guilty that I used the TV as a babysitter - but it was either that - or just have the toddler come into the room and want to play with me or her little sister.
Do what you have to do to get the baby to sleep - feed / wrap / dummy / music / it doesn't matter.
Posted 23 April 2012 - 05:00 PM
I had a play pen! Oh the shame
With lots of little toddlers at once if I had to at any time leave them alone whilst settling a baby, working in the kitchen or anything where I would be out of sight for several minutes I would put them in there with lots of toys, books and sometimes some music playing or children's TV.
They were safe and happy and I had no anxiety about being in a different part of the house.
I know there are those who will say that our children aren't animals or prisoners to be locked up and I say 'whatever'.
You do what you have to do to keep everyone safe and of course they were not in there for more than 15-30 minutes at a time.
Posted 26 April 2012 - 12:53 PM
For most of the time DD2 was good at going to sleep alone but on a bad day DD1 was only 2 so she didn't understand to b quiet so I sometimes went for a walk to the park and rocked the pram while DD 1 played. Sometimes I went for a drive. Sometimes I pushed DD2 in the pram in the house. It's much easier if the second child can fall asleep without too much assistance but not always possible. Have u tried music on in the room. This helped us a lot.
When all else failed I patted DD2 to sleep on the lounge while DD1 talked away.
Posted 01 May 2012 - 01:08 PM
Emma600, my 2 are exactly the same age as yours. DD drives me bonkers when i try and get DS to sleep. Yesterday he was nearly asleep in the pram and we were off for a walk and DD looks in the pram, his eys are slightly open and she yells 'MUM! HE'S STILL AWAKE' right in his face. Omg thanks for that....He is certainly awake now.
She follows me into the nursery and talks constantly. TV works but as soon as she realises i have left the room, i can hear those damm footsteps up the stairs 'mum, where are you....'.
Just in general she is driving me batty at the moment, the baby seems so easy compared to her. I feel like all my energy is being spent on her but that is another topic alltogether.
On a positive note i have put in some hard yards in lately to get DS to fall asleep with less rocking, patting etc. It has paid dividends and i can now usually get him down before DD realises i am gone. But you need to do what is right for you, not everyone can cope with crying bub. It took about a week of persistence.
Posted 01 May 2012 - 01:23 PM
I had them 2 yrs apart, and then 3 yrs apart.
OP, I used the tv, I would say stay here & watch quietly I won't be long I'll be back soon. I would shut the baby's door so I could settle without being disturbed. They quickly got the message to wait for me to be free before coming to ask me for something.
However, I stopped hands on settling by 4 mths for the reason that it was taking longer & longer to pat or rock to sleep, and I couldn't be away from the other children for that long (45 mins, occasionally an hour). So I started putting to bed awake & they would fall asleep on their own. It was a lightbulb moment for me, like I suddenly gained all these extra hours in the day, it was wonderful!

Peter was accepted as a Franciscan Friar of the Stricter Observance in the Friary at Manxaretes Extramadura in 1515.
At the young age of 22, he was sent to found a community of the Stricter Observance at Badajoz.
He was ordained as a priest in 1524 and in 1525 he became Guardian of the friary of St. Mary of the Angels at Robredillo, Old Castile.
He later entered the Order of the reform of the Discarded Friars. By 1538, he was elected the Superior of St. Gabriel province. As the superior, he drew up new constitutions for the order of Stricter Observance, however these were met with resistance. Eventually he resigned from this post.
Peter then began a new life, one of less formal responsibility but one of greater spiritual responsibility. He took up his spiritual cross and preached with great success to the poor. Peter preferred preaching to this group more than any other and he frequently drew inspiration from the Old Testament books. His sermons often concentrated on the topic of on compassion.
When Peter was not preaching, he would spend long periods of time in solitude. From 1553 to early 1555, he spent this time alone in meditation and prayer. Following these two years of solitude, Peter made a pilgrimage to Rome, barefoot the entire way. While in Rome he obtained permission from Pope Julius III to establish friaries, departing on his new mission just before the Holy Father's death.
Along his way home, Peter established several friaries. These friaries were compelled to follow a strict constitution, mush like the ones he endeavored to impose in St. Gabriel province.
This time, his new constitution contained reforms that proved fruitful and were later adopted across Spain.
Peter was known for frequently experiencing ecstasy, a state where he was entirely consumed with the warmth and light of the Holy Spirit. These euphoric moments were common during his prayer and meditation. Some claim to have witness him levitate.
When he was close to death, Peter took to his knees and prayed. When he was offered water he refused it saying, "Even my Lord Jesus Christ thirsted on the Cross." Peter died in prayer on October 18, 1562.
Following his death, Peter was beautified by Pope Gregory XV on April 18, 1622. He was subsequently canonized by Pope Clement IX on April 28, 1669.

Mobility Talks speaks
Way back in February, City Council launched a public process intended to prioritize city transportation projects and the funding to follow through with them. Now that process, dubbed "Mobility Talks," is over and, with the participation of about 7,000 people, the report is here. The Austin Monitor will, as you might expect, dive into the (lengthy) report in good time, but for those hoping to get a jump on the nearly 100 pages of data, it is available in its entirety here.
Busiest! Summer! Ever!
Have you heard that Austin is over? Well, despite the absence of Uber, Lyft and days of yore, the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport is expecting its busiest summer ever, with projections that 1 million passengers will fly through the city each month this summer (which runs from May to August). This isn't just bragging, though — airport officials advise those traveling through ABIA to arrive two hours before their flight during peak departure hours and 90 minutes prior to flights all other times.
Where do former aides go?
Longtime City Council aide Heidi Gerbracht, whose most recent City Hall post was in the office of Council Member Bill Spelman, received some stellar news this past week. She is now the board chair-elect of Annie's List and will begin serving in that capacity in January 2017, carrying on a life of public service outside of the city.

More than zero
As part of a plan to reach zero waste in Austin, a City Council-initiated 2015 Community Diversion Study found that more than 80 percent of the materials that currently comprise Austin's trash could have been recycled or composted. Despite that, Austin Resource Recovery Department Director Bob Gedert remained positive in a statement, saying, "I'm extremely encouraged by the results of this study. … The report has provided us with valuable data that shows us how we are doing and where we need to improve as a community in order to reach Council's vision of Zero Waste." Overall, the study found that our community-wide diversion rate is about 42 percent, which is shy of the Zero Waste Initiative goal of 50 percent for this year. According to a press release about the study results, "The study revealed that businesses and apartments generated more than 85 percent of the discards in our community. City-collected materials from single family homes are less than 15 percent of the total trash and recycling generated in Austin. Additionally, about 37 percent of materials sent to area landfills could have been composted." Those who want a copy of the study for themselves can head over to the city's website, where they are free for the taking.

AISD renames Lee Elementary
On Monday night, the Austin Independent School District voted 8-1 to change the name of Robert E. Lee Elementary School to Russell Lee Elementary School, replacing the well-known Confederate general with an Austin-based photographer known for his diverse pictures. Vice President Paul Saldaña voted against the motion, voicing his preference for a name that reflected AISD's diversity. Other trustees, including District 1 Trustee Edmund Gordon, voiced their opinion that the school should be named after Bettie Man, the first African-American teacher at Lee Elementary. However, they chose to vote in accordance with board precedent to honor the wishes of District 5's Amber Elenz, who represents Lee Elementary.

AISD trustees recommend raises
AISD staff presented the district's recommended budget, which includes a 4 percent raise for all employees and a $13 per hour floor for classified employees. These increases will cost the district $20.04 million and $1.2 million respectively, despite the recent court ruling declaring public school financing constitutional. The district is also investing $3 million for Professional Pathways for Teachers (PPfT), a new payment incentive program. The board will take up the budget for a formal vote June 20.

County to go fishing for ideas on downtown tract
Travis County is turning to the free market for ideas on what to do with one of its most controversial properties. The Commissioners Court voted on Tuesday to instruct staff to prepare a formal request for proposals for 300 Guadalupe St. That, of course, is the site the county had proposed for its failed $287 million Civil & Family Courts Complex bond project last year. The move to solicit proposals comes as a citizen advisory committee is working with county planners to explore alternative options for a courthouse site. While 300 Guadalupe St. is still technically on the table for consideration, the county is not bound to keep it fallow in the meantime. The county is also not committed by the proposal process to divest itself of the property, and the expected proposals themselves are not expected to be limited to sales requests. Strategic Planning Manager Belinda Powell told the Austin Monitor on Tuesday afternoon that she anticipates returning to the court with more details on the request for proposals in late June. Once it's released, county staff aren't expected to reel in the nets for anywhere between 90 and 120 days.

Pool announces fundraising, list of supporters
District 7 City Council Member Leslie Pool officially kicked off her campaign Monday with an announcement of support from a strong list of traditional liberals as well as labor and environmental representatives. According to a press release from Pool's campaign consultant, Matt Hersh, Pool raised about $13,000 in the week since she officially started running for re-election. The money was raised, Hersh noted, without a fundraiser. Among Pool's notable supporters are Austin environmentalists Mary Arnold, Bill Bunch, Sarah Fusco, Tom "Smitty" Smith, Karen Hadden, Shudde Fath, Jennifer Walker, Mary Ann Neely and Craig Smith. Public officials throwing their support behind Pool include state Reps. Donna Howard, Elliott Naishtat, Eddie Rodriguez and Celia Israel along with Gina Hinojosa, former president of the AISD school board and state representative-elect. The campaign announced that Travis County Commissioner Brigid Shea, as well as former Mayor Frank Cooksey and former Council Member Laura Morrison, are supporting the incumbent. Pool also has the backing of three important labor groups: the Austin Police Association PAC, the Austin Firefighters Association and the Austin-Travis County EMS Association. She can also expect an endorsement from AFSCME when the time comes considering she already has the support of several union representatives, including Jack Kirfman, Carol Guthrie and Krissy O'Brien. So far, no other candidates have declared for District 7. Pool was one of five Council members who drew two-year terms but is running for a full four-year term in November.

Renteria boards Capital Metro board
City Council will soon have three of its members sitting on the Capital Metro Board of Directors. With little fanfare last week, Council voted to appoint Council Member Pio Renteria to fill the seat being vacated by Ann Stafford. Stafford is stepping down after serving two consecutive three-year terms. She attended her last board meeting on Monday. Renteria will likely be made official at the next board meeting on June 15. He'll join the city's other appointee, Council Member Delia Garza, as well as Council Member Ann Kitchen, who is serving at the behest of the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization.

Volunteer files ethics complaint against Hawkins
Pinaki Ghosh, a former member of the city's volunteer Community Technology and Telecommunications Commission, filed an official complaint with the city's Ethics Review Commission on Monday against Rondella Hawkins, who oversees the city's Office of Telecommunications and Regulatory Affairs, related to Hawkins' solicitation of three free SXSW Interactive badges. As outlined in Monday's Austin Monitor story, Hawkins requested and received the passes from festival director Hugh Forrest for herself and members of her staff. Ghosh said in his complaint that Hawkins "has created an environment of corruption within the commission. Government employees directly ask for gifts using their government emails, misuse public finance, misuse government position, have unhealthy relationship(s) with private enterprises like SXSW. The entire commission is being used," by Hawkins, "for personal gains and, as a result, citizens are suffering." Hawkins was not available for comment on Monday but responded to an email Sunday night, defending her actions and saying that she saved the city money by getting the passes for herself and her employees. She concluded, "I do not know of any City ordinance that I violated." Ghosh has also filed a complaint against Lemuel Williams, chair of the technology commission. That complaint is scheduled for a hearing before the Ethics Review Commission in June.

Cap Metro to embiggen Lakeline Park and Ride
Capital Metro's Board of Directors on Monday approved the expansion of a parking lot in far northwest Austin. The $1.79 million contract with Muniz Concrete and Contracting, Inc., will add 460 spaces to the Lakeline Park and Ride, which already has enough room to hold 485 vehicles. Capital Metro officials explained that the facility is often filled to capacity and even overflows during special events such as South by Southwest. The expansion dovetails with big changes to the MetroRail service, including new trains, double-tracking along the route and the construction of a larger downtown station. Those additions are being funded by a state grant, while the Park and Ride work will be paid for with money approved in the agency's 2016 capital budget. Said Chairperson Wade Cooper after Monday's unanimous board vote, "I'm excited to have a nearly 1,000-space parking lot."
Early voting continues
Early voters continued to trickle into the polls last week. As of Friday, 8,605 voters (or 1.25 percent of registered voters) had cast their ballots in the election. Because it is a primary runoff, those totals are also broken down by party. For the curious, 3,209 Republicans have voted so far, and 5,396 Democrats have shown up to vote. Remember, election day is May 24.
Fair Housing at committee this week
In a post on the City Council Message Board, Council Member Greg Casar said that, this Tuesday, his Planning and Neighborhoods Committee will be taking up the issue of fair housing, and he encouraged his colleagues to join in on the discussion. According to that post, the committee will be talking about such things as more mixed-income developments, small housing in high-opportunity areas, increased public investment to subsidize affordable housing and options that would allow homeowners to stay in place (as opposed to selling due to unmanageable property taxes).
Austin Achieve plans to expand
Austin Achieve Public School, which is a charter school in East Austin, has announced plans to build a new middle and elementary school on a second campus. According to a press release from the school, it will be honoring a Windsor Park request to cap enrollment at its existing Manor Road location at 600 students and will build the new campus near the intersection of U.S. 290 and U.S. 183, at 7424 East Highway 290, with access from the frontage roads. Plans include a 100-foot setback from neighbors and a 50-foot setback from the road. The new facilities are scheduled to be completed by 2018. Though relations with neighbors haven't always been rosy, in a statement to the press, Windsor Park Neighborhood Association president Karen Pagani threw her support behind the school, saying, "Our neighborhood has been concerned about the potential impact of a second facility on Austin Achieve's current site for some time, and we are happy that the school has found a second, much larger site that will allow them to expand to serve more children while still being good neighbors to the people living near both campuses. … Austin Achieve strives to provide the children of East Austin with a high-quality education close to home, and I am happy to have them in our neighborhood. I am very pleased to see that they are reaching out and working with their new neighbors much earlier in the process this time around."
Vision Zero approved by Council
As of Thursday, Austin has a Vision Zero Action Plan. City Council approved the plan in a vote of 7-1-2, with Council Member Don Zimmerman voting in opposition, Council members Ora Houston and Ellen Troxclair abstaining and Council Member Greg Casar absent. For extensive background on the plan, we recommend KUT's series Road to Zero. Or, for the more studiously minded, the complete report can be found here.

Grove PUD delayed again
Discussion on The Grove at Shoal Creek Planned Unit Development has been put on hold once again as city staff is still reviewing the overall project. Although it was on the agenda for the May 18 Environmental Commission meeting and a roomful of stakeholders showed up to speak, commissioners decided to wait to hear it until it was "fully cooked." City Environmental Officer Chuck Lesniak told commissioners that the Planning and Zoning Department was still reviewing the project and discussing it with the applicant, ARG Bull Creek Ltd. Representatives from the Bull Creek Road Coalition and Friends of the Grove, who stayed until the item was brought up around 9:45 p.m., agreed to hold off until there were solid recommendations, although Sara Speights, BCRC president, asked if it could be an item next time to some laughter and applause. Meanwhile, the applicant seems eager to move things forward. The applicant's representative, attorney Jeff Howard, said that the project has cleared drainage, water quality, trees and environmental concerns, and urged the commission to consider the project before June 1. However, Environmental Commission Chair Marisa Perales said that she recognizes that Watershed Protection had made its determination back in November, but "environmental issues in our purview go beyond just what Watershed Protection has looked at, to open space and parkland requirements. We want to be able to look at a broader scope of environmental issues." Commissioners voted unanimously to refer the item to the Development Subcommittee as soon as the staff comes up with an overall project recommendation.
MF-6 density bonus shuttled to CodeNEXT
Though it was largely her brainchild, Mayor Pro Tem Kathie Tovo led the charge to push a proposed Multi Family-6 density bonus to the CodeNEXT process after acknowledging that her proposal and staff's recommendation were different enough that she no longer supported it without significant amendments. Despite the item being unanimously denied fairly quickly, Mayor Steve Adler took a moment to "memorialize" the short-lived amendment, which did manage to bring the Austin Neighborhoods Council and the Real Estate Council of Austin together.
APD body cameras and plate scanners put off
Two high-profile Austin Police Department purchases were put off until June 9 on Thursday, after City Council decided it just needed more information to proceed. The first, the purchase of an Automatic License Plate Recognition System, stirred skepticism despite APD Chief Art Acevedo's assurances that the scanners would not be used for ill purposes, such as collecting money. He explained that APD had no intention of taking the Kyle Police Department route and told Council Member Don Zimmerman that the scanners "would specifically only be for crime-fighting and not for revenue-generating." However, Austin Police Association Vice President Andrew Romero spoke against the purchase, saying the money could be better spent on APD's "staffing crisis." The second item was a bit more high-profile and a lot more expensive. Council also voted to delay a move forward on a body camera contract that could cost as much as $12 million. Zimmerman explained that the contract would be studied, with expert witnesses, at the next Public Safety Committee meeting. That may give Council members more time to mull over warnings from concerned citizens who testified that the current terms under which body cameras would be used could use some work. A handful of people warned that the terms in question were not transparent and would allow police to use the cameras for their own benefit instead of ensuring transparency for the public. Both items are currently postponed to Council's June 9 meeting.

Primary runoff candidates file finance reports
Uber and Lyft's recent spending spree in their failed campaign to pass Proposition 1 is a tough act to follow, but that's not stopping the candidates in the May 24 Democratic primary runoff from trying (though their efforts should be attributed more to federal and state laws rather than any particular boldness). With less than a week to go before election, the candidates in two separate races have revealed through campaign finance reports how much money they've raised and spent in their respective quests for local office. In the Travis County Commissioners Court Precinct 1 contest, Jeff Travillion reported raising $46,100 since late February. He has also spent about that much and has more than $15,000 left in his war chest. His opponent, Arthur Sampson, claimed a total of $1,400 in contributions, $350 in expenditures and $0 in reserves. Sampson's filings claim to only cover the period from late February to April 24, which may help account for no mention of spending on television advertisements that are reportedly running on at least one major cable news network. In the County Constable Precinct 1 race, things are bit more even. Incumbent Danny Thomas raised $6,450, spent $4,494 and has $1,956 in the final days of early voting. His opponent, Janie Serna, managed to collect $4,471. She also spent $4,071 and still has $335 in the bank. Early voting ends on Friday and election day is next Tuesday. Vote!

Disney sells 5 million copies of Pixar's Cars in two daysWalt Disney Co. said Thursday it sold over 5 million DVD copies of Pixar's "Cars" in the first two days it was available for purchase at stores, putting the film on track to be the industrys top seller in the U.S. during the 2006 calendar year.
The spectacular sales rate emphasizes the commanding lead DVD sales maintain over digital movie copies, which are slowly emerging as an alternative to physical discs through services like Apple Computer's iTunes store.
By comparison, Disney said it sold almost 500,000 digital movie tracks through iTunes since making 75 of its titles available on the service a little less than two months ago. Earlier this week, it added "Cars" to iTunes along with "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," both of which are available as downloads for $12.99.
"We expect to see a holiday boost for Cars merchandise, which has been one of our biggest lines of the year, with retail sales around $1 billion," Disney chief executive Robert Iger told analysts during the company's fiscal fourth quarter conference call on Thursday.
Over 12 million ABC TV downloads via iTunes
Over the last year, approximately 85 million of the entertainment corp's TV shows, movies and short films have been played or downloaded on iTunes, disneychannel.com, and abc.com. In addition, Iger announced that approximately 12 million ABC TV programs have been purchased since October, 2005 via iTunes.
"We have done extremely well on the iTunes platform," he said. "We have launched on two other movie platforms and given some of the announcements that have been made this past week, we believe we will have opportunities to sell movies and television shows on many other new platforms."
Despite beating Wall Street's estimates and doubling profits from the year-ago quarter, shares of Disney fell $1.20 or more than 3.5 percent on Friday amid growth concerns over the 2007 calendar year.
