Re: [Texascavers] cave article in today's Austin, American-Statesman
I can confirm that the Houston Chronicle is a very bad newspaper also. The way to tell a bad newspaper nowadays is what they don't cover. The local community papers are fairly good, but Hou Chron bought them a few years ago. So far they have screwed up the editing quality, but otherwise not the content so far. I expect community papers will be as bad as the main paper in a few years. Mike On 2/12/2015 11:00 AM, via Texascavers wrote: Not the Austin paper, since I don't live in Austin.

[Texascavers] cave article in today's Austin American-Statesman
Today's Austin American-Statesman has an article on page B1 titled Caves' face-lift to allow rainwater into aquifer, about Blowing Sink Preserve in south Austin. There is a photo of Nico Hauwert , a senior environmental scientist for the city's Watershed Protection Department. The City Council awarded the contract to Zara Environmental (Jean Krejca and Peter Sprouse, et al.) to spend about two months building what are essentially concrete chimneys anchored as deep as 50 feet into the caves. Unfortunately the full online article is available only to subscribers, but that might change in a day or two. http://www.statesman.com/s/news/local/ City Council approves $246,000 for cave repairs in South Austin By Farzad Mashhood http://www.statesman.com/staff/farzad-mashhood/ American-Statesman Staff Five caves tucked in a South Austin preserve will get a $246,000 face-lift to allow more rainwater to pass through them and into the aquifer that feeds Barton Springs. The Austin City Council approved the spending on Thursday.
