Roar Fall 2007
Fall 2007 THE OFFICIAL NEWSLETTER FOR CAT HOLLOW AT BRUSHY CREEK Billboard Finally Removed The billboard in the front of Cat Hollow that has been the source of concern for many area residents has finally been removed. Saturday, October 13 th The 13 Annual Hairy Man Festival on Saturday, October 13th from noon to 7pm at Cat Hollow Park in Round Rock. Admission to the festival is two non-perishable food items or $2 per person to go to local food banks. This event is sponsored by The Brushy Creek Women’s Association and the Brushy Creek MUD (rain date Sunday, October 14th). The family fun-centered event raises money for many local charities and offers a full day of food, arts & crafts, children’s activities, and enjoy special performances and live music all day. This year, the festival proceeds will benefit the Texas Baptist Children’s Home. For more information on the Texas Baptist Children’s Home call 512.255.3682 or visit www.tbch.org. The festival is located at Cat Hollow Park off of RM 620 at 8600 O’Connor Drive. For more information please visit www.HairyManFestival.org or www.BrushyCreekWomen.org In January, the apartments changed ownership and this introduced a new desire for cooperation between the parties involved that had not previously existed. The desire to resolve the issue in conjunction with the litigation by the Williamson County Attorney’s office and the Cat Hollow Owner’s Association resulted in the sign being removed in early August. We look forward to a future positive relationship between the community and the new owners of the now named Monterone Round Rock. Board of Directors Election Results At the Annual Meeting of the Owner’s Association in June, Malcolm Grey and Bonnie Bisher were re-elected as Directors. We wish to welcome Maina Macharia to the Board. He replaced Chad Feghali. The neighborhood would like to thank Chad for his service on the Board of Directors! Officers were elected by the Board for 2007-2008: President Casey Kennedy Vice President Nathan Rakoff Treasurer David Crow Secretary Malcolm Grey Name That Street! OK, so we live in Cat Hollow. Everything makes sense on the north (east) side of O’Connor. Streets have “cat” names (Tonkinese, Sabertooth, Korat, Tomcat—to name a few). But what happened to the south side of O’Connor? They appear to have gone European. Coming in from 620, you first happen upon the Irish part (Luckenwald, Brienne, Hawick, Bailey Jean, Lerwick, and Carrick). Then the French part is behind that (Avignon, Avaranche, and Ronchamps). Across Liberty Walk from there it gets half Spanish (Cordillera, Barletta, Malaga Hills) and half French (Albacete, Rambollet, Chamonix, and Anjou). The interesting thing is that it wasn’t planned this way … Cat Hollow was to continue … When looking at the original plans for the area, there are some interesting streets that never became reality. • Malaga Hills Drive was originally going to be called Egyptian Mau Drive • Brienne Drive was originally going to be an extension of (and called) Tonkinese (from the other side of O’Connor) • Rambollet Terrace was originally going to be called Colourpoint Drive • Luckenwald was originally going to extend across O’Connor into Colourpoint (Rambollet Terrace) • Stray Cove was originally going to be Stray Lane and extend into Bobcat • Judy Scholl was originally going to continue through to Splitrock (and be called Splitrock) • Mouse Trap was going to extend into Bobcat Of course, 20 years ago, the whole neighborhood was a big field ... Deed Restrictions strictly enforced. Please contact the Association Managers at 328-6100, or visit the Cat Hollow website (www.CatHollow.org) to get a copy of the Architectural Request Form if you are planning home improvements. This should be filled out completely before submitting it to the Board for review. For new pools, you must also obtain approval from the Brushy Creek MUD.

Future Executive Sr. Sales Director 8507 Bobcat Round Rock, TX 78681 (512) 244-7999 www.marykay.com/lynncervini Email: [email protected] Microchip Your Pet By Williamson County Commissioner Lisa Birkman My family has had the pleasure of Babe’s company for about five years now. Babe is our female basset hound. My husband, Rick, has always admired basset hounds and when our daughters got to be seven and eight years old, they began to frequently ask for a dog. We had another dog when they were smaller, but she had died and we had not gotten another one, even though I love dogs. Admittedly, I was somewhat reluctant as I had then, as I do now, a very busy schedule. Erika Carter, wife of Congressman John Carter, talked me into it one day when she heard the girls ask for the thousandth time. Mrs. Carter is a well known dog lover and she reminded me of how having a pet teaches children many life skills, such as putting other needs ahead of your own. So, we picked Babe out of a litter. According to the breeder, Babe would be small for a basset hound. Of course, our vet, Dr. Wade McLeod, later told us she is the biggest female basset hound he has seen in years. But, she is a wonderful family pet. She is kind and gentle to the children and has allowed them to have fun with her all these years. For example, she did not object when they used to dress her in bride’s clothing and marry her to the dog next door. Babe’s friendliness can be a bit of a problem, however, in that she sometimes gets out of our back yard and proceeds to make friends around the neighborhood. We live in a rather large neighborhood and we have had several scares when we could not find her for several hours. And, recently, we got another dog, My daughters, now in middle school, and I volunteered at the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter. While we were there, we found another friend, Buddy. He is a small black and white terrier/Chihuahua mix. We took him home and he has become Babe’s companion as well as ours. So, when the shelter recently sponsored a low cost microchip day, we took both Babe and Buddy out there. I was a little apprehensive about the procedure as I did not know much about it. My apprehension turned to relief when I saw that the procedure was very simple. A needle with the microchip was placed into each dog’s shoulder blade area and the microchip was inserted. Babe did not even react, given she has a lot of extra skin! Buddy yelped a bit but seemed to recover quickly. The cost was $15 per dog, and for Buddy, it was part of his adoption fee. I was shown how a special wand, when placed over the area where the chip is located, could read a number that would be entered into a registry so that if one of the dogs ever got lost, we could find him or her. The whole thing, including driving from my home to the shelter, took less than an hour. Many local veterinarians and shelters offer microchip insertion services. I urge everyone with pets to have this simple and effective service done. It will help you if you lose your pet and it will help our community to have less stray animals. If you need further information on this or any county issue, please contact me at [email protected] or 512/733-5380.

Ideas for reducing air pollution emissions There are many things the CLEAN AIR Force of Central Texas recommends to help reduce air pollution. For example, limit your driving on Ozone Action Days, postpone refueling until after 6 p.m., don't top off the tank, and tune up your vehicle because a well-maintained car operates efficiently and cleanly. For more ideas and information visit http://www.cleanairforce.org/. Spay and neuter clinics now twice a week 1 1 7 1 2 1 2 3 On Wednesday, July 25, the Williamson County Historical Museum unveiled its newest exhibit, “Uncovering the Past”.

The museum is located at 716 S. Austin Avenue in Georgetown. For more information, visit www.wchm-tx.org or call 943-1670. The museum is open Wednesday and Thursday from 12 to 5 p.m., Friday from 12 to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. 1 3 4 1 1 1 2 1 4 3 3 1 1 4 1 1 2 3 4 2 The Humane Society of Williamson County is now holding their low cost spay and neuter clinic twice a week every Tuesday and Thursday.

Any remaining bare patches are still being addressed by our landscaper, EcoSystems. Congratulations and thank you to the winners! The efforts of all homeowners greatly enhance the appearance of our neighborhood. The unusually wet summer season caused many of our annual bedding plants to become unsightly, so they were removed earlier than usual which left our entrance ways lacking in color. It was too late in the season to replace these plants, so we look forward to adding color again in the Fall and Winter. If you would like to recommend a neighbor for a Yard of the Month award, please contact the Roar Editor at [email protected]. The excessive rain in June has damaged some of the area hike and bike trails. They are in the process of being fixed by the Brushy Creek MUD and Williamson County.
