HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM HEATHER: In this Education Edition, our front-page story covers the new State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness, including what’s different about it, potential grading system changes and what that means for accountability ratings. Dean Frederick Custom Jewelry is our business feature this month (see Page 28). Heather Demere, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM ERIC: Over the past year, both New Braunfels and Comal ISDs saw leadership changes. John Chapman III took the helm of Comal ISD in October as superintendent, and Laurelyn Arterbury began her tenure as superintendent for NBISD this summer. We interviewed both of them to get a better understanding of their respective visions for each district (see Pages 23 and 25). Communities in Schools of South Central Texas is celebrating 30 years serving students in the Greater New Braunfels area, and we explore what their work encompasses (see Page 21).

San Antonio St., New Braunfels, inside 444 Tubing Co. at the beginning of June. The restaurant was previously located at the New Braunfels Farmers Market and has been in the area for several years. Owner Christelle Chalmers said she was working to bring clientele to the new location, which overlooks the Comal River. Chalmers, who is originally from Haiti, did missionary work in Asia, which led her to adapt her cooking to have a fusion of Caribbean and Asian cuisine.

Loki’s Axe Haus has eight indoor lanes, two mobile ax-throwing lanes and a full-service craft bar, and is located inside Texas Ski Ranch.
SIERRA MARTIN COMMUNITY IMPACT
FEATURED IMPACT EXPANSIONS Texas Ski Ranch, located at 6700 N. I-35, New Braunfels, added Loki’s Axe Haus, a newly expanded indoor ax-throwing area, to its growing list of ventures. The business held a soft opening in May and held a grand opening July 22. Max Bialick, general manager of Texas Ski Ranch and co-owner of Loki’s Axe Haus and Bar, said people can learn a new activity with the instruction of ax-throwing coaches, who also guide participants through games such as tic-tac-toe. “We opened the rst [ax-throwing space], and it was pretty much just a little warehouse, very rustic,” Bialick said. “People already liked it, but it wasn’t very well built out for the corporate events. As soon as we started tours in here, the feedback has been a lot better; it’s a nicer built-out space.” Loki’s Axe Haus has eight indoor lanes and two mobile ax-throwing lanes. A full-service craft bar also accompanies the space, serving wings, chicken tenders, jalapeno poppers and similar items. The owners are hoping the new bar helps to bring together the wakeboarding community; the original bar closed after Texas Ski Ranch sustained damage from Hurricane Harvey in 2018.
“The newest bar manager here is also a very good cook,” Bialick said. “The rst iteration of what we opened was just really light bar snacks, but we are bringing in a bit of a larger kitchen.” The price for one hour of ax-throwing is $25 per person. Loki’s accepts walk-ins and also hosts parties and events for up to 200 people. Ax throwers must sign a waiver, wear closed-toe shoes and be at least 12 years old. The business holds league nights every Wednesday and has future ambitions to host competitions. 830-627-2843. www.texasskiranch.com

COMPILED BY ERIC WEILBACHER
ONGOING PROJECT County Line Road reconstruction The city of New Braunfels is wrap- ping up the final leg of widening and resurfacing portions of County Line Road between FM 725 and FM 1044. The stretch of County Line Road between FM 1044 and Pahmeyer Road is reduced to two lanes with one travel lane in each direction while the northbound side is being resurfaced. According to the city, work began on the entire road project in February and is expected to be completed later this summer. The milling and overlay along County Line Road from Pahmey- er Road to FM 725 is complete. Timeline: February-September Cost: $1.61 million Funding source: 2019 city bond
2 Common Street pedestrian improvements
Final designs are wrapping up for side- walks along Common Street from Loop 337 to Liberty Avenue. This area includes sidewalks connecting the Comal County Fairgrounds and New Braunfels Public Library to adjoining neighborhoods, according to the city.

COMAL COUNTY A proclamation was issued July 20 by the Comal County Commissioners Court to recognize the Comal County Historical Commission for receiving the 2022 Distinguished Service Award from the Texas Historical Commission. COMAL COUNTY The Comal County Sheri ’s O ce Community Resource Team brought home the 2023 Outstanding Crime Prevention NUMBER TO KNOW acres of parkland in New Braunfels consist of developed parks and undeveloped open spaces. 740 HIGHLIGHTS NEW BRAUNFELS Mayor Neal Linnartz presented a proclamation to acknowledge July as Parks and Recreation Month on July 10. NEW BRAUNFELS Council approved a contract modi cation “PARKS AND RECREATION NOT ONLY PROVIDES QUALITY OF LIFE FOR ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS AND VISITORS ALIKE, BUT ALSO PRODUCES SOME OF THE BEST EMPLOYEES IN THE NEW BRAUNFELS EMPLOYEE POOL.” JORDAN MATNEY, ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER SAID AT A JULY 10 CITY COUNCIL MEETING Agency (Medium Agency) Award from the Texas Crime Prevention Association Conference.
NEW BRAUNFELS City o cials are in the process of creating New Braunfels’ next strategic plan and are asking for input from the community. The Strategic Plan will serve as a blueprint for the city’s long-term sustainability, program- ming, services, operations and infrastructure. According to the city, e ective strategic plans shape its path and the actions needed to make prog- ress as well as how to de ne how the plans are successful. The city contracted with national consulting rm BerryDunn to coordinate with City Council, city administration, key community stakeholders and the public throughout the process. The background: The strategic plan process includes four project phases: • Phase 1 (spring 2023): project initiation and planning • Phase 2 (summer 2023): evaluation of strengths, weakness, opportuni- ties and challenges • Phase 3 (fall 2023): development of strategic plan • Phase 4 (winter 2024): City looks toward taking over former YMCA location NEW BRAUNFELS The city is looking toward expanding Das Rec to operate a branch out of the former New Braunfels YMCA at 545 Creekside Crossing, which closed July 14 due to lack of members. What happened: City Manager Rob- ert Camareno said the city is in talks with Resolute Baptist Hospital and the property manager to consider expanding Das Rec services to the location. The city is also putting together a business plan to estimate the cost of operating the facility. According to a news release, the YMCA of Greater San Antonio board of directors created the New Braunfels Feasibility Task Force. YMCA o cials said in the news release that based on that study, it
implementation of strategic plan Phase 2 is underway and includes gathering input from the New Braunfels community, according to the city. Residents can partici- pate in the process by submitting long-form input and taking a survey at www.newbraunfels.gov/ strategicplan. Digging deeper: The city’s strategic plan survey asks residents to rank and provide feedback on its gov- ernment, public safety, a ordable housing and more. It also asks residents what they would like to see added to the city. More information about the New Braunfels Strategic Plan process
and updates on the process can be found at www.newbraunfels.gov/ strategicplan.
WHAT THEY’RE SAYING “If the city doesn’t think strategically and make the e ort to plan for the future, we may struggle to maintain our focus, which could a ect the progress we make
toward the outcomes that are most important for the residents and businesses in our community.” ROBERT CAMARENO, NEW BRAUNFELS CITY MANAGER
The city will also be hosting four community forums to explain the strategic plan process and provide residents another opportunity to participate.

As students enter their nal years of high school, many will take the SAT and ACT exams. Students usually take these tests during their junior or senior year of high school. While many colleges and universities use these exams to grant admission and merit-based scholarships, others are test-optional schools. Some colleges also require students to receive a minimum score to be accepted. Students can learn more about what institutions require these scores as they learn more about the schools they are interested in attending. Most colleges do not prefer one test over the other.

and future needs.” The projected property tax rate for FY 2023-24 is $1.23 per $100 valu- ation, which is $0.04 less than the previous scal year. Diving deeper: Most of the budget goes to sta ng and compensation with 56% of the projected expenses going toward teacher instruction. To meet the needs of the district and its anticipated growth, the budget includes the cost of the expansion of the prekindergarten program and the addition of two elementary schools that will open this fall, Farias-Spitzer Elementary and Comal Creek Elementary schools, according to CISD o cials. Contingencies to consider moving forward include: • possible changes in school funding • level-funded health insurance • attendance rates • facility needs not bond funded • fund balances “This is late in the game for getting our budgets; we’re still waiting on
