Re: [Texascavers] CoA William Cave Resolution Passed
Are we still meeting at the City of Austin Council at 5:00??? Rune From: Justin Shaw Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2019 12:03 PM To: CaveTex Subject: [Texascavers] CoA William Cave Resolution Passed Good Morning Cavers, I have fantastic news to share with you on this William H. Russel Austin Cave Heritage Day: The resolution which was on today’s Austin City Council agenda as item#: 48 has passed Approve a resolution directing the City Manager to initiate proceedings under City Code Section 14-1-39 renaming the Blowing Sink Research Management Area to the William H. Russell Karst Preserve, to develop a land management plan for the tract, to prepare a report on existing cave and karst feature projects and programs and a memorandum of understanding between relevant departments addressing cave restoration and water quality monitoring for caves on City-owned land. There is still a process that shall be followed for the renaming to become in effect. I’ll keep everyone appraised of progress as I know of it. Addressing our request for the City of Austin to engage the local caving community as the most knowledgeable stakeholders in further exploration and documentation of its karst resources is language directing the various City departments involved in cave management to work together with steakholders - that’s us cavers - and report back in October of this year and January of next. I am very optimistic that this process will be fruitful. I will keep everyone updated as this process proceeds, particularly when there are opportunities for Cavers to speak up and be heard. Thank you to everyone who supported the petition. The smell of victory is in the air.

Re: [Texascavers] Bill's tale
Who is the injured person? Please identify. Rune From: Charles Loving Sent: Saturday, September 01, 2018 8:48 AM To: Terry Plemons ; Cavers Texas Subject: [Texascavers] Bill's tale So I guess it’s time to tell this story. Wednesday afternoon I was happily finishing up on a shaper , think of big router, the last few wooden pieces of the doors and windows for our home in Mexico and looking forward to gluing them all up and being a big step towards completing the house. A millisecond later I was unbelievably looking at a ruined right hand. A few minutes later after doing my best to staunch the blood flow I was at the clinic in Real. The doctor on duty took one look and said hospital in Matehuala an hour away. I stopped on the way out of town at a friends house. Luckily she was home and her boyfriend and she drove me to the hospital. Basically they sewed up a couple of arteries and assayed the damage, by the way with no painkillers . I guess just trying to see how tough I am. The doctor said I would need to go to a specialist in Saltillo or San Luis Potosí. They gave me antibiotics, pain meds, and a tetanus shot. When we left the hospital my friends boyfriend asked if I’d prefer to fly back to Texas. He offered to fly me in his Fairchild turbo prop. My response to this was, “You’ve got a plane?” Totally unassuming man and now a saint . He arranged for an employee to meet us halfway to Saltillo. This man drove me to a Holiday Inn where we had reservations. I walked in the lobby looking like someone out of a Quentin Tarentino movie. Complete with cartels and sicarios. The desk clerk looked up and said NO ROOMS, I protested that I had a reservation. NO ROOMS!! We got the same response across the street at a Hampton. At the next one I gave Juan my wallet and said, “This time you get the room and I’ll go in s side door.” I ended up having to go to a hospital in Saltillo because I started hemorrhaging again during the night. The next morning the driver picked me up and after a stop at Walmart to buy clothes,of course they didn’t fit anyway, by 8:30 we were airborne on the way to San Antonio. At SA the immigration guy took one look, said “I don’t want to know”, and waved me through. Gale in the meanwhile had found the top micro surgeon in the country with the aid of our next door neighbor who is a friend of an associate of the surgeon Dr. Fernando Levaro. Gale picked me up in SA and we drove to Houston. Within 10 minutes of walking into his office we were meeting with Dr. Levaro and within 1 hr I was in surgery. The surgery lasted 6 hours. I can’t say enough good things about this guy. He’s by the way one if those Mexicans they’re sending us. At the follow up today he told me he expected me to get back to close to 90% function. Skin grafts, nerve repair, tendons, bone fractures, vessel repair, and evidently I learned Spanish because I was speaking it while I was under anesthesia. I can’t begin to express the gratitude I have for every person I came across in the last two days, both friends and strangers. I’d post photo, but I’m not that cruel. 21 Comments -- Charlie Loving ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers

[Texascavers] Bustamante Project 2006
Orion, Jan, Rune, and Susan visited Bustamante this past weekend to meet with the mayor and talk with Don Felipe about the project scheduled for February 18-20, 2006. All agreed that the project is a go. Orion explained this year's activities to the mayor. The mayor approved and said that even if work had begun on developing the road up to the cave, this should not interfere with the project because they would not be working on the weekend. The group visited the 3 hotels in Bustamante. All rooms at the Ancira will be available at $35 each, except that the 4 rooms with one double bed will be $30. Contact Jan at knox_...@hotmail.com to reserve your room. We visited La Casita, but the owner wasn't there and the gardner said that a room with 2 double beds is $48. There are 20 rooms. The phone # listed on the Bustamante web site is (829) 246 03 16. We got a business card from Hotel Chimenea's Inn. The phone numbers listed are (829) 246 04 43 or 245 02 43. The Chimenea's appears to have 7 or 8 rooms. No one was there so we didn't get a price. Don Felipe agreed to provide the Sunday night banquet at the Ancira at a cost of $8.00 per person, including non-alcoholic drinks and a cash bar. Attached is an updated list of Project Organizers. Still lacking are crew chief's for graffiti removal along the road, a parking lot attendant at the upper parking lot, and campground security. Also, we will need vehicles to transport volunteers from El Cono to the upper parking lot. Please contact Orion or Rune if you are interested in any of these positions. 2006 PRESIDENT'S DAY PROJECT February 18-February 20, 2006 Project Organizers ( ? subject to acceptance of positions) As of December 6, 2005 PROJECT COORDINATORS: Bob (Rune) Burnett - bburne...@austin.rr.com (512-459-0505) Orion Knox - orion-k...@alumni.utexas.net (512-453-4070) PROJECT TREASURER: Alana Hussing- al...@wholeearthprovision.com (512-476-4811 ext. 39 (w) / 830-833-0376 (h) PROJECTS: SURFACE TRAIL IMPROVEMENT: Project Coordinator: Phillip Russell - adonfel...@aol.com (512-458-4518) Dave DeGroot - davedegr...@yahoo.rr.com (512-443-9002) GRAFFITI REMOVAL: Project Coordinator/Cave: Aimee Beveridge - aimee...@sbcglobal.net (512-444-4881) Project Coordinator/Exterior Cave: Rune Burnett - bburne...@austin.rr.com (512-459-0505) (CREW CHIEF NEEDED) BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION: Bob (Rune) Burnett - bburne...@austin.rr.com (512-459-0505) Orion Knox - orion-k...@alumni.utexas.net (512-453-4070) BRUSH TRIMMING ALONG ROAD TRAIL: Project Coordinator: Terry Plemons - tplem...@mail.utexas.edu CAVE CLEANUP: Trash sacks will be handed out at registration and at cave entrance and tools for step cleaning will be provided at cave LIGHTING IMPROVEMENT: Project Coordinator: Orion Knox - orion-k...@alumni.utexas.net (512-453-4070) Tom Brown (?)- cavei...@yahoo.com OFF TRAIL VISITATION GUIDELINES: Aimee Beveridge - aimee...@sbcglobal.net (512-444-4881) TASK COORDINATION: First Aid / Search Rescue: Tom Brown -(?)- cavei...@yahoo.com / nbca...@satx.rr.com home - 830-609-5973 / - 210-699-8585 Permission to Hold Project / Coordination with City: Orion Knox - orion-k...@alumni.utexas.net (453-4070) Rune Burnett - bburne...@austin.rr.com (512-459-0505) Coordination with City on Camping: Orion Knox orion-k...@alumni.utexas.net (453-4070) Rune Burnett - bburne...@austin.rr.com (512-459-0505) Coordination with Hotel Ancira on Banquet Food: Terry Plemons - tplem...@mail.utexas.edu (512-263-3075) Charlie Loving - lovingchar...@hotmail.com (Plemons to coordinate) Book Keeping: Alana Hussing- al...@wholeearthprovision.com (512-476-4811 ext. 39 (w) / 830-833-0376 (h) Pre-Registration on Site Registration: Rae Nadler-Olenick Walt Olenick - mrnad...@mail.utexas.edu (512-371-3786) Door Prize Coordination: Susan Souby - sso...@austin.rr.com (512-459-0505) Cave Sign -In - Anne Souby - aso...@harcourt.com (512-451-4884) Campground Security: (NEED VOLUNTEERS) Construction Tools and Supplies Coordination: Rune Burnett - bburne...@austin.rr.com (512-459-0505) Lighting Supplies Coordination: Orion Knox - orion-k...@alumni.utexas.net (453-4070) Transportation To and From Cave-Coordination: Jim Kennedy jkenn...@batcon.org Drivers w/ trucks - Jim Kennedy jkenn...@batcon.org (512-663-2287) (ADDITIONAL TRUCKS NEEDED) Upper Parking Lot Attendant-(NEED VOLUNTEERS) Project Publicity: (US) Aimee Beveridge aimee.beveri...@rrc.state.tx.us (512-444-4881) / Rae Nadler-Olenick - mrnad...@mail.utexas.edu (512-371-3786) (Mexico) ?Peter Sprouse - pspro...@texas.net (512-?)
