Biography of Vernon Leroy Smith.
Vernon Leroy Smith was born at the King's Daughters Hospital in Temple, Texas, US to William Thurman Smith and Lillie Earl Davis Smith on the date of June 3, 1946. His family had a military background from which his father, William Thurman Smith, had come from. He was the baby of his family with 5 older brothers and 1 sister into a family of 8 people.
When Vernon was a year old, his parents discovered something was psychologically wrong with him. He wasn’t acting the ways as most children did. His behavior started becoming strangely erratic to unusual. They took Vernon to a neurologist. The neurologist told his parents that Vernon had down syndrome often referred to back then as mental retardation. He was later diagnosed with mental retardation at 2 years old.
Vernon Leroy Smith was known a special needs child with mental retardation whom had requiring special schooling and care to those in the community who knew him very well. Of course as Vernon grew older and larger, his family became unable to care for him and had no choice but to put him into a state-run mental health institution. The best place they could find for him was Travis State School located east of Austin, Texas. Vernon resided there at Travis State School for 4 short years from 1960 to 1964 until his time of death.
Vernon was always wanting to come home to his family as he felt his family abandoned him when they enrolled him at Travis State School. He felt unloved, unwanted, and out of place when he lived at Travis State School. Despite Travis State School having the best trained staff who were well caring, he had still felt out of place. His family made many trips visiting him at Travis State School when he was a resident there. His first attempt to run away from Travis State School was in 1961. He was later recaptured and lived out the remainder of his life at the Austin State School - Farm Colony then later known as Travis State School. This however, would not be the only attempt that Vernon would try to escape from the institution. He attempted to escape the institution over 4 times.
In October 1964, Vernon ran away for good. Vernon had gotten himself into a meltdown about wanting to go home and be with his family. So he ran away from the school in an effort to go home Several days later, His body was found in the Colorado River from accidental drowning. He had water in lungs which he could not breathe from the asphyxiation from that. Vernon Leroy Smith had died in October 9, 1964.
This biography is a sad case about how those with mental retardation were kept hidden away by society and how families disregarded their feelings about their self-esteem. This is another case of how society has placed a stigma on mental retardation. Vernon Leroy Smith is no exception however.

Hillcrest Farms history not forgotten.
Hillcrest Farms is a name many Austinites have forgotten. The name “Hillcrest Farms” does not ring a bell to the current Austinites of today. Only a handful of few longtime Austinites are aware of the name Hillcrest Farms. Hillcrest Farms is a name many longtime Austinites have forgotten. Inevitably Hillcrest Farms is one of Austin’s long forgotten institutions that has faded away with time. The Hillcrest Farms motto was “Stay where you are, we’ll bring it to you.”
In 1937, Harry L. Peterson started Hillcrest Farms in Del Valle, Texas less than a mile from the now Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA). Hillcrest Farms Inc. started with just Harry L. Peterson and two employees in 1937. Hillcrest Farms had only one truck to work from and 22 cows and work with. Harry L. Peterson was the first milk producer to sell pasteurized milk instead of raw milk in the Austin, Texas area and in Travis County. 50 quarts of milk a day were produced by cows from the Hillcrest Farms in their early days of operation. In the early years, milk was poured into quart sized glass bottles for home delivery.
From a business standpoint, Hillcrest Farms originally intended to be a home delivery business in the beginning. Harry L. Peterson intended for Hillcrest Farms to be a home delivery business being that he already owned land set up in an agricultural setting in Del Valle, Texas. Hillcrest Farms was all home delivery.
Harry L. Peterson and Fred Barge became business partners in 1955. On June 1, 1956, Harry L. Peterson incoporated Hillcrest Farms as an agricultural business called Hillcrest Farms Inc. Hillcrest Farms was the
first dairy operation in Texas to equip a truck with a “milk tank” instead of cans. From then on, all Hillcrest Farms milk processors were to equip a truck with a “milk tank” instead of cans. 1969 was a peak year for Hillcrest Farms as that was the year more than 14,000 customers were served.
In 1970, Harry L. Peterson sold Hillcrest Farms to Jim Dobson and Brodie Keene. Tay Bond pledged $27,000.00 commission to Harry Peterson to be earned on the sale of property known as Hillcrest Farms to purchasers Brodie Keene and Jim Dobson in 1970. In 1970, Hillcrest Farms was also sold to Pure Milk.
In 1984, Jim Dobson and Brodie Keene sold a portion of their land to Del Valle ISD to build a school for which Hillcrest Farms would be named after for donating land. Hillcrest Farms was one of the last dairies in town to abandon real cream.
A small portion of Austin landmarks were named in honor of Hillcrest Farms. A Del Valle ISD school and road were named after the Hillcrest Farms both by the City of Austin and Del Valle. Such as Hillcrest Elementary School and Hillcrest Farms Road for example in this case.
In 2008, the City of Austin purchased several acres of land which was formerly owned by Hillcrest Farms to build a parking garage for Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) which is currently operated by FastPark & Relax. This parking garage was built to meet the demand of additional parking for ABIA. By 2012, several more acres of land were purchased from the former Hillcrest Farms.
As an agreement with the City of Austin, US Government, Austin Bergstrom International Airport, Travis County, and Texas General Land Office (GLO), associated parties came to terms resulting in an agreement allowing former part of the dairy land to remain undeveloped in as attempt of historic preservation. As a part of this attempt for historic preservation enacted by the City Of Austin, tourists entering and exiting ABIA can get a feel of agricultural lifestyle from 20th century Del Valle in Travis County. By remaining undeveloped, the dairy land will continue to operate in its natural habitat which is why you see longhorns cattle as you exit ABIA.
A small portion of Austin landmarks were named in honor of Hillcrest Farms. A Del Valle ISD school and road were named after the Hillcrest Farms both by Del Valle, Travis County, and City of Austin. The Hillcrest name is spread over Southeast Austin and Southeast Travis County.
• For instance, take Hillcrest Farms Road for example.
In 1975, Hillcrest Farms got a road named after the dairy called Hillcrest Farms Road also known as Hillcrest Farms Rd. To the left of the road is additional parking for ABIA operated by FastPark & Relax. To the right is natural farmland with a herd of cattle. In 2012, Hillcrest Farms Road was renamed to Spirit of Texas Drive.
• For instance, take Hillcrest Elementary School as another example.
Hillcrest Elementary School (fka Hillcrest School) was named after the Hillcrest Farms. Hillcrest Elementary School was located on land Hillcrest Farms owned which is why the school has the name “Hillcrest”. In 1984, Hillcrest Farms sold land to Del Valle ISD to build a school. In 1985, after a bond program enacted by Del Valle ISD, Del Valle residents voted for the school district to build a new elementary school. 1985 was the year Hillcrest Elementary School opened.
The Hillcrest School sat in its original location from 1985 to 1998 on Crozier Lane right next to Baty Elementary School (fka Baty School). Hillcrest Elementary School was relocated to William Cannon Road in Southeast Austin in 1998 due to the City Of Austin’s Airport Noise Mitigation Program which was responsible for relocating 6 Del Valle ISD schools in order for the ABIA Airport to be built and to operate. In 1999 the school was demolished. Hillcrest Elementary School is owned and operated by Del Valle ISD.
The Hillcrest Farms were located at 736 Bastrop Highway, Del Valle, Texas, US 78617 now known as 2200 Spirit of Texas Drive, Del Valle, Texas, US 78617.

Plans for Cedar Valley School remain unclear.
Currently as of April 2017, the Cedar Valley School sits abandoned in a large field of overgrown grass from resulting vegetation. Brush covers the lot. All entrances to the school building are boarded up. The front entrance is still boarded up to this day. Several windows are reported to be broken. Jim Connelly Masonry, Inc. owns the land where Cedar Valley School is. It is unclear if current owner Jim Connelly Masonry, Inc. has any plans for future development.
Cedar Valley School holds an important place in the history of Oak Hill that has long been forgotten. Lack of historic preservation and political interest is what led to the demise of Cedar Valley School. The City of Austin should have designated Cedar Valley School as a/or with a “City of Austin Historical Landmark”. Cedar Valley School remains as one of the few surviving public school buildings associated with development of Oak Hill with the former 1924 Oak Hill School. The Cedar Valley School is regarded as a prominent historic structure being one of few remainders of rural Oak Hill.

How Austin, Texas allows real estate development to build in floodplains.
Over the years, City of Austin has allowed real estate development to build housing located in flood plains which is a mistake on the City of Austin’s part. Neighborhoods such as Onion Creek, Yarrabee Bend, Timber Creek, Jet Lane, Rainey Street, Onion Creek Plantations, Rio Lado, Austin Pecan Trailer Park, and Williamson Creek are prime examples of bad planning and the City of Austin allowing real estate development to build housing inside floodplains.
For example…
In 1971, land was sold for the Austin Pecan Trailer Park to begin allowing home owners who had trailers to move in. 1972 is when the reception office was built as a single story unit with 5 single rooms with a reception desk, a supply closet for maintenance supplies, storage a supply closet for maintenance storage, and a garage. Years of operation for the Austin Pecan Trailer Park were from 1972 to 2008.
Now the Austin Pecan Trailer Park was located inside a 25 year floodplain. It would flood there every 2 years. Trailers would be wiped out clean as a result from constant flooding. Mold grow inside these trailers after flooding happened. Vegetation surrounding the property made it difficult to retrieve personal belongings.
As a result of constant flooding with the trailer park being located in a flood plain, in 2001, City of Austin bought out the land property where trailers once resided. City of Austin developed a flood buyout plan It took a total of 4 years from 2001 to 2005 for the City of Austin to buy out all the homeowners land plots for which their trailers were located on. By 2008, all of the former Austin Pecan Trailer Park property was abandoned. To this day, only a building for the reception office, roof provision for where mailboxes were, and a shed for maintenance storage remain.
To this day, only a building for the reception office, roof provision for where mailboxes were, and a shed for maintenance storage remain. The building for the reception office was still remains extant and a shed for maintenance storage remains extant. Trailers are no longer extant.
Over the past 10 years, the former Austin Pecan Trailer Park property for illegal dumping where citizens from Austin and Travis County would dump their unwanted items, trash, debris, auto parts, plywood, sheet metal, beer cans, and clothing. The City of Austin got contractors to haul in large rectangular limestone bricks to prevent access for illegal dumping.

History behind The Rock House (Horton-Duval House). The “other” Sneed House.
Judge Sebron Graham Sneed bought 470 acres of property south of Austin, Texas for farm they had purchased around a sum of $1,000 in 1854. Located on the 470 acre property was a single story structure called The Rock House. This limestone brick structure was called The Rock House was located on the former Sneed Plantation. The Rock House was once a plantation house purposed as a home for slave owners prior to the Civil War era. Not only did The Rock House serve as a home for slave owners, it served as a living quarters for slaves. The Horton-Duval House served as slave quarters for the Sneed family.
The Rock House was built by Sneed's slaves and completed in 1857. Construction was finished by hand. Some of the walls and all of the fireplaces were limestone that was quarried from the Sneed farm. Lumber was used for the roof and floors in this single unit structure. The Rock House was more than likely designed by architect and general contractor Abner Hugh Cook. The Rock House was also known as Thomas Sneed House, Horton-Duval Home, and Horton-Duval House.
The Sneed family owned 21 slaves by 1860. During the Civil War, this house and the Sneed House was used as a recruiting station and a Confederate hospital. Sebron Sneed later willed 55 acres of the Sneed Plantation property to his daughter Marinda Bledsoe in July 15, 1871. Marinda Bledsoe willed the Sneed Plantation property her daughter Rockie Bledsoe by 1916. The house was remodeled with improvements in 1920. The Sneed family lived on the farm property until August 1, 1922, when it was sold with 196.4 acres to Bledsoe's cousin, Calvin L. Hughes for $8,000. Calvin L. Hughes willed the property to his daughter Virgia Lo Cage. Virgia Lo Cage lived there until her death in 1965. Frances Sneed Simnacher owned the property for a short period of time as well.
In 1992, the former Horton-Duval House was sold to Robert T. Davis for an amount of $49,000. A home-run business called INTERNATIONAL MICRO FILM FOUNDATION, INC operated there from 1984 to 2002. Robert T. Davis and Associates, Inc. operated out of that house as well. Robert T. Davis shut down both of his businesses in 2002.
A fire mysteriously destroyed the house on March 2, 1996. An application for demolition to Horton-Duval House was filed by Majid Hemassi in 1998. A public on an appeal of the decision by the Texas Historic Landmark Commission to deny an application for a demolition permit for the Horton-Duval House was denied on December 10, 1998.
The Rock House is one of the few surviving pre-Civil War structures in the city of Austin. The few surviving pre-Civil War structures in Austin deteriorate further into despair with some structures or buildings almost beyond repair due to years of neglect, erosion, disaster, and vandalism. The Rock House is no exception to this case. Condition of The Rock House is quite the same condition as the Sneed House. The Horton-Duval House is a city historic landmark. Landmarks such as this one are important so we do not forget about our cultural history from the past.
Currently The Rock House lays in terrible condition almost beyond repair due to years of neglect. Overtime as years went by, The Rock House was vandalized by criminals and transients. Elements of neglect, vandalism, and erosion are evident. With signs of vegetation nature has taken over this place. It would take millions of dollars in an effort to revitalize or rebuild The Rock House due to its deteriorating condition. As of right now in 2017, there are no plans to demolish The Rock House. Majid Hemassi is the current owner.

A look at the United States presidential campaign of 2016.
Overall, the election came and went. The battle for presidency raged on ever so much. The United States presidential campaign of 2016 was almost similar to a chapter taken straight out of a dystopian novel. Both political parties do not have America's best interest at heart. These presidential candidates represented their own supposed political party even though they don't have the voters interest at heart. They only care about big business and the upper class. Either way, America is screwed.
There were huge problems with both presidential candidates from both political parties due to personality clashes. One candidate publicly attacks another candidate representing another political party based on their own personality while the other candidate does the exact same thing to the candidate attacking that candidate right back. Each presidential candidate represented their own political party. These presidential candidates represented their own supposed political party even though they don't have the voters interest at heart.
Our votes are based solely upon economic factors in our lives. A great number of voters are lowly informed voters who overlook economic factors. People like this vote for the incumbent party when times are good for them. We live in international times. We're living in a country where people are constantly scared they're losing their rights.
News reporters and anchors were selling blatant lies about both candidates live on TV. The presidential campaign was attacked by many news organizations on TV. The pressure was quite aggressive and radical this year. Such aggression and rhetoric can't be hidden for long. The news media straight up lied to its audience and views across the nation.
For example…
How Hillary Clinton gained the votes for her presidential campaign is solely from political parties which has ultimately resulted in political corruption of course as many major news outlets and a handful of independent news organizations reported. The news media straight up lied to its audience and views across the nation about news surrounding Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton's support only stemmed from blatant criminal acts and political corruption. It was the fact she was straight from big money, control of the media, support from official in office from foreign governments, and activist involvement is where her support only stemmed from. Hillary Clinton needs to be jailed for some of her actions. Hillary Clinton gained the votes for her presidential campaign solely from political parties and donations.
Another example is that some news organizations blatantly lied about how Donald Trump doesn't want to win the presidential election during the presidential campaign. That's false. He clearly wants to win especially with all the public appearances he has been making along donations from big business, supposed activists, and other political parties. How Donald Trump pulled victory is with big money. His support only stemmed from big money. Not only that! Donald Trump is racist.
From the GOP perspective, Donald Trump capitalized on his great victory in New York. His victory was a clean sweep. His victory was a clean sweep that was dealt with a clear blow shockingly however. This clear blow was a shocker. Nonetheless, both Trump and the GOP continue to capitalize off their own victories. After all, Donald Trump garners marginal support from the GOP. He has secure endorsement from the GOP and in New York State.
The rightness of Donald Trump proves to be questionable. The logic of Trump is flawed. Donald Trump refuses to increase minimum wage, enact a living wage standard nationwide, cease all wars the US is currently involved in, get rid of tax breaks, or reform healthcare, but he will limit immigration.
Donald Trump is so quick as to dismiss viewpoints from others as he is a narcissist. He is unapologetic in his political beliefs even if his political viewpoints are politically incorrect. Yet his speeches resonate with his audience under a true conservative formation motivated by his conservative ideology with strong sense. He is seen by his supporters as brash and unapologetically patriotic. This is his true patriotism. Still, the GOP views Donald Trump as a “savior” or “the great one”.
From the GOP perspective and his too, Donald Trump capitalized on his great victory from the voters in New York. In 2016, Donald Trump won votes in the US State of New York during the presidential election which eventually led him to become President of the United States. Donald Trump capitalized on his great victory in New York winning the primary election in that state in 2016. The rightness of both the GOP and Donald Trump proves to be questionable.
One other example is the news media straight up lied about Jill Stein acting as if she did not exist in a desperate attempt to make her lose the presidential campaign. Many news channels on TV refused to cover Jill Stein live during the presidential campaign due to her radical politics. She has the voters interest at heart while big business and other so called political parties don't. Jill Stein also has America's interest at heart. Her radical stance on politics made the news media ignore her. Jill Stein and her contradictions against the establishment are truly a blessing in disguise. Jill Stein is what's needed to Make America Great Again. Jill Stein is what's needed to Make America Brehsive Again.

Montopolis residents rally to save Montopolis School.
Montopolis residents rallied last Friday (12/3/2016) at Austin City Hall to preserve what used to be the Montopolis School that was also known as the Montopolis Negro School. Various activist groups called on City of Austin to save the former Montopolis School. These groups pressed city hall to preserve the Montopolis School by issuing the property with a historical landmark. 15 members from the Montopolis Neighborhood Association showed up last Friday. The Montopolis Neighborhood Association called upon City of Austin to buy the Montopolis School from Austin Stonewall (Austin Stowell) of KEEP Investment Group. Many groups want the city to keep the school by using empty land as a park and school as a museum.
The situation behind Montopolis School is institutional racism that Austin is known for. Historian Fred L. McGhee pointed out the city not acting to save Montopolis School is a symbol of institutional racism. By letting school buildings such as this one decay and face demolition is an example of institutional racism.
Montopolis School is one of the last 42 schools in Travis County that educated African American children from 1891 to 1962. Schools such as Montopolis School were commonplace during the segregation era. Austin ISD finished integration altogether in 1985.
The City of Austin has determined Montopolis School qualifies for historical landmark designation after an investigation. The City of Austin has recommended initiate historic zoning to keep the Montopolis School from being demolished after they determined the building to be historic. If someone goes before the Historic Landmark Commission on September 12, 2016, to save the school, the school will not be demolished.
But that alone will not be enough to save the school from further demolition. Nothing has been implemented or decided yet by the city or Austin Stonewall, but both plaintiffs are pushing for demolition in order for 15 single-family units to be built. These 15 single-family units will be built on 2 rectangular acres. Austin Stonewall of KEEP Investment Group/Real Estate currently has plans to demolish the school in order to make room for 15 single-family units on the property of 2 rectangular acres. Austin Stonewall currently owns property of the land where the Montopolis School is located on.
Today, Montopolis Church of Christ is currently located in its same position as an original steel framework structure.Austin Statesman reports historic properties like the Montopolis School are extremely vulnerable to demolition even thought the city has recommended to initiate historic zoning to keep the Montopolis School from being demolished after they determined the building to be historic. Historic properties like the Montopolis School are extremely vulnerable to demolition. The City of Austin and real estate developers are currently debating the outcome for the Montopolis School. Currently, however, the school faces demolition.
How the news does not report coverage of Jill Stein.
The news media straight up lied about Jill Stein acting as if she did not exist in a desperate attempt to make her lose the presidential campaign. Many news channels on TV refused to cover Jill Stein live during the presidential campaign due to her radical politics. She has the voters interest at heart while big business and other so called political parties don't. Jill Stein also has America's interest at heart.

Foreign oversight on Iran overall.
Lack of foreign oversight in Iran is led the US and Russia to attack Iran to begin with. This is due to US foreign oversight on Iran of course. Lack of foreign oversight is what led opposition groups such as ISIS and Hamas to form. That's how that occurred. For many years, Iranian opposition of foreign political powers was considered to be very high prior to 2007. Since then, the United States - Iran relationship has strongly improved. Iran is more willing to be allied with the US than any of the neighboring countries in the Middle East especially Russia. Iran was a legit democracy prior to the Carter administration.
Despite Iranian opposition of foreign powers, the US maintains a stellar relationship with Iran in politics. For many years, Iranian opposition of foreign powers was at an all time high at one point in time. Especially against the United States and Russia! Both United States and Russia were after Iran for their oil supply. Iran was against political support from Kazakhstan due to the fact that the country of Kazakhstan was included in the Russian Federation when Russia tried to invade Iran for their oil supply thrice.
