It may have been true once, as Guy Clark says, that “there’s only two things that money can’t buy, and that’s

true love and homegrown tomatoes” - but at Dripping Springs’ Third Annual Toma-to Round-Up, for just a couple of dollars anyone can taste dozens of varieties of the best homegrown tomatoes in northern Hays County. (You’re still on your own with true love....)

This year’s Tomato Round-Up, spon-sored by the City of Dripping Springs and organized by its Farmers Market Commmitte, is on the first day of summer (June 21) at Founders Memorial Park.

There’ll be plenty of room for tast-ing tables, info booths, food booths, live music, and kids’ games, with the Park’s swimming pool and new playscape close by. Next-door neighbor, the Dr. Pound

Pioneer Farmstead Museum, will be of-fering tours of the 1850s restored home-stead, along with old-fashioned fresh-squeezed lemonade under the the ancient live oak trees.

The stars of the show will be an amaz-ing array of garden-fresh, vine-ripened tomatoes — from the smallest, sweetest cherries to the largest, juiciest slicers, to the richest, most flavorful heirlooms.

Gardeners from across the Dripping Springs area are invited to bring their brightest and best tomatoes to compete for prizes and bragging rights in five cat-egories: cherry, yellow, heirloom, red slic-ers and romas. For just $1/category, the public can taste every entry and vote for their favorites.

Local youth experience a special day of serviceBy LaureL robertson

Take a group of middle-class high school students and put them in a soup kitchen in east Austin with a drill sergeant boss and an ex-con, Bible-thumping preacher and what do you get?

Pure love, say the kids of Ig-nite youth group at Hill Country Bible Church in Dripping Springs. This past March, as part of their church’s regular Fifth Sunday Ser-vice program, the group ventured with their youth leader, Erin Brack, to Angel House Soup Kitchen on East Cesar Chavez Streeet in Austin to serve lunch to the homeless in the down-and-out neighborhood. Though their initial nervous mo-ments included some culture shock at lifestyles very different from their own, the youth quickly warmed up to the 367 grateful, polite souls they served that day.

“I got really emotional seeing the little kids coming back for third and fourth servings,” recounts one member of the Ignite team, “espe-cially when I realized that might be the only meal they would get that whole weekend until school started again on Monday.”

The entire Ignite group was amazed at the appreciative attitude of the homeless diners at the shelter and say that —thorugh the volunteer experience—they gained a new perspective on their own lives. “I think the reason the homeless are so gen-erous and kind is that they know what’s it’s like to have nothing,” ventured one thoughtful youth.

Living up to their creed of focusing on “Life Between Sundays” members of the Hill Country Bible Church, adults and youth, go into the community to serve others the fifth Sunday of each month. They’ve cleaned yards for the handicapped and done house repairs for seniors, in addition to serving at Angel House. This summer, a group from the church will spend a week in Nicaragua helping build an orphange, a girls’ shelter and a senior center.

As for the upcoming fifth Sunday (June 29), which service project would the kids pick as their first choice? “Angel House Soup Kitchen!” is their unanimous reply.

FYI • Hill Country Bible Church of Dripping Springs is located at 100 Commons Road, #4, next to Goodwill Industries. For more information about the church and their community service projects, visit their web site at www.hcbcds.com or call 512-843-0035.

Reliable Residential CLEANING

By LaureL robertson

More than a generation ago, walk-ing was a main form of trans-portation, even in rural areas

like Dripping Springs. The Dripping Springs City Council and Parks and Rec-reationCommission are determined to make that healthy option available once more to cul-de-sac, subdivision-bound resi-dents of the City and its surrounds.

Beginning in the heart of town, the City recently completed the Mercer Street Pedestrian Im-provement Project (Phase I) to provide shoppers and visitors to Dripping Springs’ main street with a safe and friendly pedes-trian environment for vis-iting the growing number of shops, restaurants and entertainment venues.

Funded by grants from TX-DOT (awarded through CAMPO), Phase I installed new sidewalks, a pedestrian bridge, pedestrian crosswalks, peninsula “bump outs”, historic district monument signs, vintage-style streetlamps, bicycle racks, planters and community benches on the main street.

Phase II of that project (yet to be funded) will add beauty and charm with improved landscaping, historical mark-ers, large planters, a Community Giving Tree Wall and other amenities.

Continuing the pedestrian-friendly theme into the larger ETJ, overwhelm-ing results to city surveys for the Parks and Open Space Master Plan showed that trails are residents’ highest recreational priority. In 2012, the City Council passed the City-Wide Trails Plan to satisy that need.

The Trail Plan got a big boost this spring when the National Park Service

chose it as one of five new projects in Texas to receive assistance from the NPS Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assis-tance program. NPS staff will provide technical planning and other assistance to the newly-appointed Trail Advisory

Committee of the Dripping Springs Parks and Recre-ation Department as it be-gins to implement the Trail Plan.

The citizen-based Com-mittee will work on devis-ing ways to connect existing trails in city parks and also to create interconnected systems of new trails to encourage walking and cy-cling throughout the com-munity, says City Adminis-trator Michelle Fischer. The Committee’s overarching vision, she says, is to help Dripping Springs become a Sustainable Community, in line with its 2010 Compre-hensive Plan.

A longterm goal of the Trail Plan is to connect

Dripping Springs by trails to nearby rec-reational destinations such as Reimers Ranch and Pedernales Falls State Park. There’s even a possibility of going east-wards in Hays County to connect with the planned Violet Crown Trail System (formerly known as “Walk for a Day”), a joint project of the Hill Country Conser-vancy and the City of Austin. That trail will begin at Barton Springs Pool and wind more than 30 miles through the Barton Creek Greenbelt and City of Aus-tin water quality lands, south into Hays County, ending just 12 miles from Drip-ping Springs.

Connecting the City’s new and ex-isting trails to that regional trail system could create the ability to hike/bike/ride horseback from downtown Austin clear to Blanco County.

“If we don’t do it now, we’ll lose the opportunity,” Michelle says of the Trail Plan, as potential trail routes are gobbled up by new developments and land prices continue to increase. Language in the Trail Plan requires developers to cover the cost of building designated trails within their new developments.

Trails would offer more than just a route to a destination, she points out. They could include wildlife viewing areas, rest areas, pocket parks, classroom facilities - whatever the public had a need for, she says. Existing trails at Founders Memo-rial Park, Sports and Recreation Park,

Dripping Springs Ranch Park, and Charro Ranch Park offer walking and hiking trails, primitive camping, a bird blind and picnic tables. Interested citizens can help devel-op a more pedestrian-friendly Dripping Springs by donating to the Mercer Street Pedestrian Improvement Project Phase II, participating in surveys, attending meet-ings, volunteering at Charro Ranch Park workdays, and donating to upkeep exist-ing trails in city parks, says Michelle.
