4 Paws and a Smile By, Heather Bivin HOME NEWS Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Antonio, Texas, Inc. Volume 36, Issue No. 32, 2015 4 Paws and a Smile By, Heather Bivin For just over a year, the San Antonio Ronald McDonald Houses have had visitors from very special volunteers. They don’t prepare meals, do chores, or engage in craft projects, but they will lick your face and allow you to groom them. They are always up for listening to the events of your day, taking a walk around the house or showing off the latest trick they recently learned. I am talking of course about our 4-legged furry friends from Therapy Animals of San Antonio! These smart, sweet natured pups and their amazing pet parents make regular visits to our Ronald McDonald Houses spreading joy, smiles, and compassion Ginny Flanders and Emma to everyone they meet! Their kind eyes and gentle souls warm the hearts of all who they encounter. They truly prove the old adage and live up to the title of “Man's Best Friend”. Headed up by Ginny Flanders, the T.A.S.A. teams are comprised of Ginny and Emma, Donna and Bailey, Kathi, Duncan and Zac, Norma and Shanti, Mary Ann and Kiley, Dan and Moose, Carla and Krissy. We would like to thank all of these terrific members of T.A.S.A. for sharing their 4-legged friends with us, Carla Spraggins and Krissy and we look forward to a long and happy relationship. Donna Schweitzer and Bailey Norma Brooks and Shanti Mary Ann Dove and Kiley Dan Lindahl and Moose Kathi France and Duncan Kathi France and Zac 1 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Board of By Penny Viteo Directors For the past almost two years, the Board of Directors and the staff have been working hard to plan for, and then execute on the plan, to expand our houses in San Anto- President nio. Our house inside a wing of the former Santa Rosa Hospital (now the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio or CHOSA) was completely demolished, and our current Penny Viteo house in the Medical Center has operated at or over capacity since 2012. Vice President Operations Carlos Rodriguez Our first steps were to prepare a new strategic plan and economic forecast through 2019.The discipline of working through these two documents confirmed our belief Treasurer/V.P. Finance that we had to expand to meet increased need, and that we could make it work. Simon Thompson Vice President Development We determined that we not only had to rebuild the CHOSA House, but we also had to expand it. When completed, the CHOSA House will be a modern facility inside Augie Estrada CHOSA, with 16 bedrooms and bathrooms, large kitchen, living and play rooms, laundry facilities, and more. Construction began in August 2015 and we expect it to Secretary be completed near the end of the first quarter of 2016. Clarissa Rodriguez COUNCIL OF PRESIDENTS In response to the tremendous growth in pediatric services in the Medical Center generally, but particularly at both The University Health System and the Methodist Bess Malone Ted D. Lee Healthcare System, we decided we needed to build (in addition to the existing House) a new Ronald McDonald House in the Medical Center. The new house will be Paul Olivier just up the street from our existing house. We are currently working with an architect to finalize design and broke ground in December. Sharon Smith Dorothy Wise Bob Rios With the additional space from these construction projects, our San Antonio Houses will be able to meet both the current need and the projected increase in demand for Petey Hale Roddy Baker the next few years. And, among other service additions, we will be able to expand our eligibility criteria to accommodate expectant mothers with high-risk pregnancies Emilie Rogers requiring long term bed-rest close to the hospital, and we will have five bedrooms/transplant suites for patients with transplants who need separate accommodations. Allen Cazier Sandi Kolitz Beth Plummer A lot of hard work has already gone into these projects and I want to thank everyone involved. Taking on the construction of one new House is a big undertaking, but Dale Peterson Leslie Foley construction on two overlapping Houses is huge. George McClure Gordon Brown Larry Roberts Obviously fundraising is a huge piece of the work that goes into projects like these. We have many, many people to thank for contributing money to the construction Danielle Marasco projects. With the special help of generous donors and many others we have raised enough to start construction, but we need more. Your direct contributions, large or Carlos Rodriguez small, will help us finish these projects and continue to provide and improve upon the services we offer. San Antonio is an amazingly generous city. Thank you!

The five species are the Minckley’s Cichlid (Endangered), Tequila Splitfin (Endangered), San Marcos Redtail Splitfin (Critically Endangered), La Palma Pupfish (Extinct in the Wild), and Charco Palma Pupfish (Extinct in the wild). ZAA is a zoological accrediting institution that promotes responsible wildlife management, conservation, and education. According to the ZAA’s website, the Ex Situ Conservation Award “recognizes excellence in captive care, welfare, and propagation of animal species in captivity, as a hedge against extinction.” Director of Ectotherms San Antonio Zoo, Craig Pelke, said the award was received for the aquarium department’s work and success with the reproduction of fish species all of which range from a designation of endangered to extinct in the wild. “The goal of the program was to reproduce the species to maintain assurance populations,” said Pelke. “Two species are currently extinct in the wild, but there are potential plans to reestablish their numbers. The other three species have extremely limited ranges in single water bodies that are in peril.” President & CEO San Antonio Zoo, Tim Morrow praised the team’s diligence and dedication to the program through one of the most tumultuous years in recent history.

  • Your Kids Are Going to Love
    10 Places In San Antonio Your Kids Are Going to Love www.chicagotitlesa.com 1. Brackenridge Park This sprawling park has way more than just green space — it encompasses a stretch of the San Antonio River and includes the Japanese Tea Garden, the Sunken Garden Theater, the San Antonio Zoo as well as ball fields and pavilions. Older kids can run off some energy on nearby trails while parents eat a family picnic. Before you leave, don’t miss a ride on the San Antonio Zoo Eagle, a miniature train that loops around pretty much the entire park. From its starting point right across from the zoo, it makes stops at a few different Brackenridge attractions, including the Witte Museum. 2. The DoSeum Since opening in 2015, The DoSeum has quickly become the go-to children’s museum in San Anto- nio — it’s full of hands-on activities for kids of all ages, from toddlers to fifth graders — though adults will admittedly learn a thing or two as well. The museum’s displays run the gamut, from celebrating creative arts to tinkering with science and technology. Specific exhibits include the Big Outdoors, the Sensations Studio (where kids can experiment with light and sound), an innovation station, and the Spy Academy. 3. Six Flags Fiesta Texas Families looking for an adrenaline fix while still spending time together should hit up Six Flags Fiesta Texas. Not only does the park have some of the best roller coasters in Texas, including the Superman Krypton Virtual Reality Coaster, Iron Rattler, and Batman: The Ride (the world’s first 4D free-fly coaster, which just might be as terrifying as it sounds), but it has rides and attractions for the whole family, regardless of age, energy levels, and attention spans.

  • Über 1300 Bands Und Künstler*Innen Stellen Fest: „Das Entsetzen Hat Kein Ende“
    Über 1300 Bands und Künstler*innen stellen fest: „Das Entsetzen hat kein Ende“ Seit Jahren erleben wir massive Eingriffe in unsere künstlerischen Freiheiten zu Gunsten glo- bal operierender Digitalkonzerne. Diese künstler*innenfeindliche Prioritätensetzung zeigt sich auch im aktuellen Gesetzesentwurf der Bundesregierung zum neuen Urheberrecht. Bereits am 26. November 2020 wandten sich 657 Musiker*innen und Bands mit einem Appell „Spielt das Urheberrecht nicht gegen uns aus!“ an die Politik. Das Papier verschwand in den Schubladen und der geforderte Respekt für unsere künstlerische Arbeit blieb aus. Stattdes- sen gibt es regelmäßig Expertenanhörungen mit vermeintlich Netz-Expert*innen, nicht mit Künstler*innen. Aus ihrem ideologischen Elfenbeinturm heraus spinnen sie realitätsferne Zen- surszenarien und erwecken den Eindruck, das Netz sei aktuell „frei“ und erst mit der Umset- zung der DSM-Richtlinie stünde die Sintflut der „Uploadfilter“ bevor. Wir Künstler*innen sind mit Plattformnutzungen vertraut, denn es ist unser Tagesgeschäft. Probleme von Over- und Underblocking kennen wir aus erster Hand. Als unmittelbare Zielgruppe weltweiter Zensurbe- strebungen sind wir sensibel beim Schutz von Meinungs- und Kunstfreiheit. Es ist für uns ein Schlag ins Gesicht, wenn Netzaktivist*innen mit Schlagworten das Freiheitsnarrativ kapern, gegen die Plattformregulierung wie in der DSM-Richtlinie ins Feld führen und damit mehr Gehör finden. Fassungslos mussten wir 2019 mitansehen, wie die SPD gegen die DSM-Richtlinie stimmte. Fassungslos sehen wir, wie das SPD-geführte Bundesjustizministerium den europäischen Kompromiss unterminiert. Nahezu unverändert schickte die Bundesregierung den Gesetzent- wurf in den Bundestag – ungeachtet unseres anhaltenden Protests und ungeachtet all unserer Erläuterungen, warum insbesondere das „Urheberrechts-Diensteanbieter-Gesetz“ weitge- hend praxisuntauglich ist. Wir erkennen in dem deutschen Gesetzentwurf die Absicht, indivi- duelle urheberrechtliche Ansprüche sowie echte Lizenzverträge auf Augenhöhe zu vereiteln.
