Canyon Creek

Calavar Drive in our neighborhood has enjoyed a strong sense of community, including street-wide get-togethers, for nearly a decade. We’ve held an annual block party for the past eight years, usually in the summer, to visit with long-time residents and welcome new homeowners. These gatherings are fairly spontaneous and all who are able gather in the cul-de-sac to share a dish and visit with neighbors. Because our get-togethers are so much fun, we’ve recently held a second block party on Halloween night. We gather at the cul-de-sac with our candy, chat with neighbors, and greet the goblins and costumed characters who stop by. It’s a unique experience to see parents zipping through the street (including on a golf cart), watching as their children collect their treats! We consider ourselves the United Nations of Canyon Creek. We celebrate our diversity, including neighbors from India, China,

closer than 10 feet from the bus, the driver might not see you. This is known as the DANGER ZONE.

• If you forget something on the bus, do not return to the bus to get it. The driver might not see you.

• Be aware of the street traffi c around you.• If you need to cross the street, cross in front of the bus never behind

the bus. Motorists should follow safety rules around school buses. Yellow fl ashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop. Motorists should slow down and be prepared to stop. Red fl ashing lights indicate that the bus has stopped and that children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red fl ashing lights are turned off.Here are a few more traffi c safety tips for motorists.• When backing out of the driveway or garage, watch out for

children.• When driving through neighborhoods and especially in school zones,

watch out for children. Children don’t always pay attention to traffi c and don’t always know that motorists have trouble seeing them.

• Slow down. Watch out for children walking or playing in the street.

• Be alert and ready to stop. Children sometimes dart into the street. Basically “Watch out for our Canyon Creek children!”.

CANYON CHRONICLE

Have you ever found yourself at the “end of the road”? Whether it was by our own choosing, or by forces beyond our control, we’ve probably all faced that moment when success came to an end and we were left asking, “What now?” The wonderful thing about ending is that there really is no such thing, not if you turn it to a new direction. How liberating, how wonderful the feeling that we can start all over again, especially if the ending seemed painful or disappointing. Sometimes we just become too comfortable in our own shoes. Comfort and complacency often breed a lackluster attitude. We forget how talented we really are without the challenge of something new. Sometimes our success becomes a burden to us, fi lling others (and ourselves) with expectations that may no longer interest us. Consider the unusual case of Steve Jobs. He was fired from Apple early in the game, and while he found success elsewhere, his ending there actually prepared him to come back and raise the technology company up from the ashes. Giving the Stanford University commencement address in June of 2005, Steve Jobs told the graduates, “I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fi red from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.” Respectfully,Gene & Dorie DillardSo take a bite from that Apple and chew on it awhile. When you’re facing a diffi cult ending, make sure you go out with a bang!

Austin City Council Approves Mandatory Watering Schedule

The Austin City Council has approved a water conservation ordinance that restricts watering times and imposes a mandatory watering schedule. The rules are effective Oct. 1, 2007. The twice-a-week watering schedule is imposed year-round for commercial and multifamily customers, and between May 1 and Sept. 30 for residential customers. Residential customers with addresses ending in odd numbers must water on Wednesdays and Saturdays only, and residential customers with addresses ending in even numbers must water on Thursdays and Sundays only. Commercial and multifamily customers must water on Tuesdays and Fridays only. No customers may water on Mondays. Watering-time restrictions require that automatic irrigation systems not water during the daytime, between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. year round. No hose-end sprinkler watering is permitted between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. if the date is past May 1 or before Sept. 30.

As the Head Golf Professional of River Place Country Club I fi nd it very important to relay to my students the importance of the fundamental factors that take place before you ever swing a golf club. There are four basic fundamentals of golf that must be done correctly to be able to make a solid repeatable swing. Grip, posture, alignment, and ball position are all essential to making a proper golf swing. Today we will discuss something that everyone thinks they do correctly, but few take the time to check, and that is their alignment. Everything in your swing is connected, from start to fi nish. Poor alignment leads to a variety of problems in your swing; because there must be another fault in your swing in order for you to get the ball headed toward the hole. For example, if you are lined up too far to the right, one of two things will happen; you will make a good swing and hit the ball to the right of your target (where you are aligned), or you will make a bad swing and pull the ball towards the target (left of where you are aligned). The problem with the latter, is the bad swing can be diffi cult to consistently repeat (it’s easy to make a bad swing, however diffi cult to repeat that same bad swing), and will also limit how solid and how far you can hit the ball. Alignment in golf is a bit different than most sports. For example, if you’re throwing a baseball, you would turn your shoulders and hips toward the target, and throw. In golf, the ball is out in front of us, not in our hand, thus our alignment must be different. The best way to practice your alignment is by using a couple of golf clubs. Next time you’re on the range try this. Grab any club and lay it down directly behind the ball pointing toward the target. Make sure you take your time and line it up perfectly! Next, grab another club and lay it down parallel left (if you’re right handed) to the fi rst club, right about where you would normally take your stance. Now stand behind the ball, facing your target, and what you notice might surprise you. The club on the left (where you will stand) is pointed slightly left of the target. That is a perfect golf alignment. Now simply pick up the club which is directly behind the ball, and take your stance as normal, using the other club as a guide. Don’t forget to make sure that your hips and shoulders are also aligned with the club. This drill, especially for beginners, should be done every time you hit the range. If you have trouble with alignment on the course, try this simple drill. Before you hit, stand behind the ball and pick out a spot about 12 to 18 inches in front of the ball (either an old divot, a leaf, or a discolored piece of grass) in line with your target. Now step into the shot by aligning your clubface to the spot you picked out. Then align your feet, hips, and shoulders to your clubface. You should now be properly aligned to your target. It takes a bit of practice, so try this drill on the range fi rst, and check yourself by laying a club down next to your feet, and then step back (don’t forget, your not allowed to lay clubs down on the course). Hopefully these two simple drills will help improve your game. They are not diffi cult, but they do take some discipline. I promise that if you can make yourself practice these two drills and focus on making alignment a disciplinary part of your game, you will see improvement in your scores.

CANYON CHRONICLE

What is oak wilt? Oak wilt is caused by a fungus that invades and disables the water delivery system of the tree. Leaves at the top of the tree are usually the fi rst to die. The spread of the disease is primarily through the interconnected root systems. It can travel up to 150 feet in any one direction in a year. Small beetles also transmit the disease by carrying spores from fungal mats on red oaks to open wounds on live oaks.What trees are susceptible? Red oaks (e.g., Spanish, Shumard, Texas Red, and Blackjack oaks) are particularly susceptible. An infected red oak will generally die in 3 to 4 weeks. White oaks (e.g., Post, Bur, Chinkapin and Lacey oaks) are resistant and rarely die from oak wilt. Live oaks fall somewhere in between but are vulnerable because they are essentially one big root system connecting all of the trees in a large area, and that facilitates the spread of the disease from tree to tree.How do I know if my trees are infected? It is not always easy to identify oak wilt infection as opposed to fungal leaf spot or some other problem but Dolan provided the following guides.• Watch red oaks for out of season color displays. Fall color in the spring is not a good thing.• Keep an eye on the very top branches of live oaks. If they start to defoliate, call the City (512-974-1881) and set up an appointment to have an expert come and take a look.• Examine oak leaves on the tree for chlorotic

(yellow) veins. Look for veinal necrosis (brown veins) on leaves on the ground. Often it takes an expert to make the identifi cation. We are fortunate that we have access to an arborist through the City’s oak wilt program. If you have concerns, contact him at the number shown above or at [email protected]. How do I stop this disease? Prevention (worth a pound of cure)• Eliminate diseased red oaks (or don’t plant them in the fi rst place).• Handle fi rewood properly (make sure to buy wood that has been thoroughly dried for at least one year and don’t store it near healthy oak trees).• Avoid wounding oaks (including pruning) from February through June and immediately treat all cuts or wounds with a wound or latex paint.Trenching (not the easiest thing in a suburban neighborhood)• Break root connections between live oaks by digging at least 4 feet deep and a minimum

Oak Wiltof 100 feet from infected trees.• Remove trees within the trenched area and closely monitor those immediately outside for several years.Fungicide (needs to be repeated every 2-2 ½ years)• Injections of propiconazole applied prior to infection have proven effective as a preventative.• Fungicide injection does not stop root transmission but it can offer protection if trenching is not practical.• Use a trained professional to ensure the best results from this treatment.

What do I do now? Go out in your yard and look at your trees? Identify the oaks (Not sure what they are? Put a few leaves in a zip lock bag and take them to a local nursery for identifi cation. A photo would help.) and pay attention to the foliage. Watch for unusual color changes and leaf drop. If you suspect something is wrong, contact Chris Dolan. Even if you know you are going to lose the tree, call him so he can record the location. This helps him monitor the progression of the infection. The City also has some cost-sharing provisions for infected tree removal.Where do I get more information? There are many resources and your fi rst stop should be the City of Austin’s Oak Wilt Program web site, www.ci.austin.tx.us/oakwilt. Texas Oak Wilt Information Partnership also has a lot of information at their web site, www.texasoakwilt.org including a list of oak wilt certifi ed arborists.
