Mental health experts report spike in adolescent anxiety, depression
BY ELLE BENT
school began exhibiting emotional and behavioral symp- toms without a known cause. “His teachers at the school knew that something else was going on,” Heston said. “So if we know that there’s something di erent, or you can just feel it, listen to that voice as parents and caregivers. Know that it’s OK to reach out for help.” After meeting with a psychologist, who diagnosed her son with bipolar disorder, Heston was able to begin a plan to care for him. “I had been working in children’s mental health at the time helping other parents navigate their health sys- tems—and to hear that for my own child, it kind of shook CONTINUED ON 44

Counselors in Central Texas schools are seeing more students needing mental health care as anxiety and depression increase among adolescents, and during the summer, support outside of schools may be harder to nd for some families. On May 24, Austin Public Health held a press confer- ence regarding its campaign Ask, Talk, Listen, urging parents to begin the conversation on mental health with their children. District 1 Council Member Natasha Harp- er-Madison declared children’s mental health is a public health priority for the city. For Austin parent Nidia Heston, the conversation on children’s mental health began when her son in high

HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM DEEDA: Three years after it began, we’re still recovering from the pandemic. We’re also learning some of the most deeply a ected by the response are our own children. In our front-page story, Reporter Elle Bent explores the mental health of our kids and teens as well as how parents can navigate this new set of challenges. This coverage is part of our annual Health Care Edition, which aims to inform you of local medical services and solutions for the whole family. Deeda Lovett, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM DARCY: In the newsroom this month, some Impacters referred to our Trail Guide as a “hiking guide,” which sparked a debate about if Austin trails count as hiking or if they are just walking. I’m not going to weigh in on the debate. Personally, whatever you call it, you can nd me and my cocker spaniel trying to work up to a 6-mile adventure as we tour some of the most beautiful spots in the area. Interested in heading outdoors? Check out Page 18 for more information. Darcy Sprague, EDITOR
Meet Travis Baker
Austin Metro Publisher
What’s your typical day as a CI Publisher? TB: One thing I love about my job is that no two days are the same, each lled with new challenges and opportunities. On average, my day starts with some internal meetings. Next, I am in the eld riding along with a sales rep to help pitch a local business as to why our advertising portfolio is the best investment they can make. Then I’m at a chamber networking event, and throughout the day I may be mixing in some editorial decisions on late breaking content, scheduling future stories, etc. Each day my calendar is booked, but rarely is there a day playing out as planned.
What’s your favorite memory working for CI? TB: I’ve had many great memories over my 13 years. One that sticks out the most is when we launched a paper in my hometown of New Braunfels and saw the emails ooding in after our rst delivery. I started documenting them, and when I got to page seven or eight, I realized it was never going to end. The launch was rewarding for myself and also the community.
Where might CI expand to next in your metro? TB: Good question. We have quite a few fans out there, and they are not shy to let us know where we’re needed. I’ve heard from people in Waco, Killeen, Temple, Bastrop and Highland Lakes, to name a few. I look forward to the day that every community across Texas has Community Impact serving it.

TRANSPORTATION UPDATES Officials approve initial Project Connect light rail route
ONGOING PROJECTS
RAIL REVISION The city of Austin, Austin Transit Partnership and Capital Metro officials approved a revised light rail plan. Phase 1
183
BY BEN THOMPSON
Austin City Council, the Austin Transit Partnership board and the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Author- ity board signed off on a revised plan for Project Connect’s initial light rail lines this spring. The board of the ATP, the entity created in 2020 to manage Project Connect’s rollout, accepted the plans May 24 while council and CapMetro leaders voted in early June. The action clears the way for final development of the transit system outline. “The approval of the Austin light rail implementation plan is a huge step toward getting us to the day when we can start building,” Mayor Kirk Watson said June 1. The inaugural light rail network that local leaders have now accepted is scaled back from the version presented to Austinites in 2020. It includes fewer stations, only one lake crossing, no downtown subway and miles less track overall. It will cover about 10 miles at street level with 15 stations between 38th Street to the north, Yellow Jacket Lane to the east, and Oltorf Street to the south. The initial investment is expected to cost between $4.5 billion and $4.8 billion sourced from local tax collections and anticipated federal funding. If more funds become available in Phase One, rail lines could stretch to the Crestview area and the airport.

ENVIRONMENT Austin struggles with trash diversion goals
MISSING THE MARK
In 2011, Austin City Council set a goal to divert 90% of trash somewhere other than a land ll by 2030 as part of its Zero Waste 2040 plan.
Austin's 2011 goal
Austin's progress
100%
BY KATY MCAFEE
As Austin continues to struggle with trash in its waterways and land lls, environmental leaders are re-evaluating how best to combat it. The road to zero waste Austin Resource Recovery is working on updating its master plan known as Zero Waste by 2040 as the city is lagging behind its goals. The plan—initiated in 2011—outlined a goal to divert 90% of trash from land lls and reduce Austin’s total annual waste to 37,000 tons by 2040. To be on track with ARR’s 2011 plan, Austin would have had to hit a 75% diversion rate by 2020. However, the diversion rate at the end of scal year 2022 was only 37.95%. So far, ARR’s 2023 diver- sion rate is at 72.37%, which ARR representatives said is due to the large amount of tree debris that was recycled following Winter Storm Mara. Diverting more trash will make the city’s land lls last longer and reduce the amount of greenhouse gasses released into the atmosphere, according to ARR. However, making an impact will require residents to collectively consume less and waste less, Andrew Clamann, an environmental scientist for the Austin Watershed Protection Department said. ARR will present an updated plan—now called the Zero Waste Comprehensive Plan—this summer. The update will still maintain Austin’s original goal of diverting 90% of trash by 2040, however it will take into consideration the lessons learned about the industry since 2011. The city struggled to divert unfamiliar types of plastics found in food packaging and is implementing new technologies to recycle them, according to ARR. The city is also developing new strategies to handle the increased amount of waste created by Austin’s population boom. Trash in creeks The city is also working on reducing trash in

The 2023 diversion rate is higher than previous years due to the large amount of debris from Winter Storm Mara, which did not go into land lls, according to ARR.

materials found in trash can be ingested by wildlife and slowly release chemicals into the waterways. City e orts ARR, the watershed protection department, and the Austin Parks and Recreation Department implemented a slew of programs to reduce the amount of trash littered. The Violet Bag Program— led by ARR—provides trash bags and disposal kiosks to people experiencing homelessness near known encampments. The parks and recreation department’s Leave No Trace program encourages hikers not to litter, and the watershed protection department’s Adopt-a-Drain program requires participants to clean their adopted drains twice a month and before a big rain event. The department also hired six full-time employ- ees to manually extract trash from creeks and riparian corridors. Since October 2021, 48 tons of trash have been removed from Lady Bird Lake, and 11 tons was removed by volunteers.
creeks as a report found an abundance of single-use plastics, clothing, shopping carts and more in 110 miles of local waterways. The 130-page report found no one source is responsible for the amount of trash in creeks, but rather the issue stems from the combined e ects of illegal dumping, homeless encampments, utility work, poor property management and other factors. Single-use plastics and food takeout containers were the most common items found in the creeks. Shopping carts, toys, cables and clothing were also prevalent. Cigarette butts, vape devices and hypodermic needles were rare, according to the report, and only found every few miles. Clamann said the overall state of Austin’s creeks is alright but should be much better. “Although when many people think about trash in creeks, they have an image of a turtle stuck in a six-pack ring, but these visceral images are actually much less insidious than the impacts that we don’t see,” Clamann said. He added the microplastics, paint, metal and other

Attorney General Ken Paxton impeached, suspended
BY HANNAH NORTON
A TIMELINE OF THE IMPEACHMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN PAXTON
The Texas House impeached Attorney General Ken Paxton on May 27 over allegations of bribery, conspiracy and other forms of misconduct. House lawmakers voted 121-23 to adopt 20 articles of impeachment against the third-term Republican. The House General Investigating Committee began a probe into Paxton’s alleged misconduct in March after he asked the Texas Legislature to use public funds to pay for a $3.3 million settlement between Paxton and four of his former employees. Paxton is suspended from office without pay and barred from performing his official duties. Former Secretary of State John Scott will serve as interim attorney general, Gov. Greg Abbott announced May 31. Next, the Texas Senate will conduct a trial to determine if Paxton will be reinstated or permanently removed from office. Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick will serve as the judge. Houston attorneys Dick DeGuerin and Rusty Hardin will prosecute Paxton during the trial, and Houston attorney Tony Buzbee will lead the legal team representing Paxton. If two-thirds of senators vote to convict Paxton on the impeachment charges, he will not be allowed to run for re-election or hold any other state office in Texas. Paxton, who has denied the allegations, called the House’s vote to impeach him a “sham” and said he looked forward to “a quick resolution in the Texas Senate.”
FEB. 10 Paxton enters into a $3.3 million settlement agreement with four former employees who said they were wrongfully fired in 2020. FEB. 21 Paxton asks the Texas Legislature to fund his settlement with taxpayer money. MARCH 8-20 House General Investigating Committee opens an investigation into Paxton and the proposed settlement. MAY 24 Attorneys present material from the investigation during a four-hour committee hearing. MAY 25 The committee unanimously adopts 20 articles of impeachment against Paxton. The articles and a full transcript of the hearing are shared with House lawmakers. MAY 31 Gov. Greg Abbott appoints former Secretary of State John Scott to serve as interim attorney general. MAY 27 After four hours of debate, Texas House votes 121-23 to impeach Paxton. He is immediately suspended from office. JUNE 20 Seven state senators will present the proposed rules for the impeachment trial to the full Senate. Once the rules are adopted, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick will set a date for the trial. JUNE 1 Houston attorneys Dick DeGuerin and Rusty Hardin are selected as prosecutors for the Texas Senate trial. SOURCE: TEXAS HOUSE GENERAL INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE/COMMUNITY IMPACT
