A
LONG WITH many other regions in the State, Central Texas is feeling the pain of the
drought combined with the mismanagement of our water supply. Lake Buchanan and Lake
Travis are the two primary sources of drinking water for over 1.5 million people in the Hill
Country, including the City of Austin. Right now the lakes are at 35 percent capacity, with a combined
storage of 712,912 acre-feet (keep this number in mind). LCRAs total commitments and reservations
are 522,781 acre-feet (also an important number).
Lets do the math. If we dont get rain, 712,912 divided by 522,781 equals 1.36 years of water supply
are currently in our reservoirs. Now this may be a little simplistic, assuming no inflows/rain and that
100% of LCRAs contracted and reserved water is being used, but it still puts our water shortage into
perspective.
How did we get here? On top of being in a drought since January of 2008, in 2011 LCRA released
over 433,000 acre-feet of water to irrigators down basin to flood rice-lands. To put that amount of
water into perspective, it could have supplied the City of Austin for almost 3 years. Another key issue
that drives the misallocation of our water supply is the price disparity. Down basin irrigators pay at
most $6.50 per acre-food for raw stored water, while firm customers or domestic users pay $151 per
acre-foot for raw stored water. Simple economics says as price goes up, demand comes down. This
rule can drive conservation. As long as LCRA puts a 96% discount on raw water and free run of river
for down stream irrigators, they have no incentive to conserve.
What can YOU do? Donate and volunteer to help Central Texas Water Coalition (CTWC). CTWCs
largest expenses are water attorney fees and hydrologic research needed to take on these important
issues and make a change. CTWC is a non-profit 501c4 organization that is dedicated on working for
creative water solutions and fixing key problems with how our water is currently being managed.
Some of CTWC accomplishments include the Emergency Drought Orders for 2012 and 2013 in place
that helped protect firm domestic customers and keep drinking water in our lakes. TCEQ is currently
working on updating LCRAs Water Management Plan to include inflow data from 2008 to 2013. This is
largely due to the numerous public comments they received from CTWC and its supporters.

LUE MATRIX LABS, established in November 2012, is a
new, cutting edge company, headquartered here in Austin that is
driven by product innovation and development. The companys
founder, Kendall Harter, who also serves as CEO, has established four oper-
ating divisions that market innovative products within the casual furniture,
food and beverages, home appliances and toys categories.
In 1994, Kendall Harter founded Envirocon Technologies, which revolu-
tionized the automatic dishwasher detergent industry with the worlds first
environmentally friendly dish additive, Lemi Shine, which Harter invented.
He created a niche in the cleaning products industry that had never before
existed. A consummate innovator, Harter is poised once again to revolu-
tionize several genres of consumer products simultaneously.
While launching five companies at the same time might seem impos-
sible to most people, if you consider his resume, his quiet confidence is
understood. As an expert motocross racer, former Marine and professional
pilot, it is clear that fear and failure are not in his vocabulary.
Blue Matrix Labs has multiple patents pending based on Harters prod-
uct innovations. Two examples of such are an out of this world line of toys
that have garnered global demand as well as a futuristic residential and
commercial kitchen appliance that will undoubtedly exert a major impact
on both national and global markets in the food industry.
Other whimsical products include the Austin original, patent pending,
SHAGS. Mr. Harter is reintroducing the classic bean bag chair in a new,
ultra-plush form, as well as SHAGS Wags, the worlds first pet bean bag.
SHAGS.com is where you will find all of the bright colors of chenille micro-
fiber bean bags that are currently available, with other SHAGS products in
the pipeline. According to Harter, SHAGS has a product personality that is
perfectly Austin, and Austinites agree!
Yet another division, Paradise Beverage Company, houses Pirate Energy,
whose product line of energy shots with
cocktail-inspired flavors such as Pina
Colada, Mojito, Margarita and Hurricane
ties into the company theme of islands,
get-aways and good times. Pirate Energy
is set to launch in November 2013. The
brands mantra is THE PARTY STARTS
HERE!
Blue Matrix Labs Senior Vice
President, Jeff Carpenter, is charged with
implementing the companys go-to-mar-
ket strategy. With a wealth of experience
as a former vice president who lent his
talents to an impressive list of major food
companies, Mr. Carpenter will play a key
role in implementing the execution plan
for the companys innovative products.
Among other tasks, he will focus on creat-
ing mass appeal and fine-tuning market-
ing campaigns to premier national and
global accounts handling promotion and
distribution.
Our roots are in Austin and every-
thing this city representsis at the funda-
mental core of Blue Matrix Labs. Texas is
a place were proud to call home, and we
look to create a place on the map as a proud Austin success story. By the
end of 2014, with all aforementioned products launched and more on the
horizon, we will directly impact hundreds of jobs in Texas and beyond. We
have assembled a world-class team of sales, admin-
istrators, industrial designers and marketers that
make this vision possible. The infrastructure we are
building is pretty significant, as well as the impact
we will have on various consumer product catego-
ries, Harter notes.
Harters vision for Blue Matrix Labs is to offer
products that are not only radically unique and
different, but that also solve existing problems
for consumers. We are an innovation company
Innovation in Motion is our motto. We revolution-
ize various genres by creating products that no one
has ever seen before. As a company and as a team,
our goals center on excellence and exceeding our
customers expectations of what is possible.

One of the leaders of the industry is Dr. Todd Ehrlich. Dr. Ehrlich has been on
the forefront of digital dentistry for 15 years and is a consultant for the biggest
and most innovative companies in dentistry. His passion for high-tech den-
tistry has given him the opportunity to lecture across the U.S. and internation-
ally. He completes live patient demonstrations at the annual American Dental
Association meeting where thousands of dentists discover the attributes of
digital dentistry. As in any industry, dentistry benefits by going digital. Dr.
Ehrlich explains:
Patients want the best technology, and I believe digital dentistry is the way to
go. We no longer need impressions or two visits to complete our crowns and
veneers. We simply scan the teeth into a computer, design the restorations in a
computer program, and then mill them. It is simple, fast, and extremely accu-
rate. The best thing is that the patient does NOT have to come back. No tem-
porary! Done! My favorite cases are our one-day makeovers: veneers in a day!
CAD/CAM milling machines make the crowns, veneers, and onlays.

Digital dentistry also includes techniques for diagnosing: X-rays. Digital x-rays have
come a long way and most dentists are using them, but what makes Dr. Ehrlich stand
apart is that he utilizes three-dimensional x-rays much like a CT scanner. This allows
him to digitally plan dental implants and diagnose tooth problems that are very dif-
ficult to see on traditional x-ray views. He is one of the few general dentists in the US
to even have this capability.
Dr. Ehrlich and his wife Kristine opened their practice in Bee Cave in 2000 when
there was not a lot of activity out here. He explains,I remember driving through the
area and thinking that this would be a great place to live. The day I saw the ground
break for the HEB in Bee Cave, I knew the area was going to explode, and it did! I
am glad to call the area my home and help my neighbors with the highest technol-
ogy in dentistry.

GO DANCE
When Mylie Alrich was an 18-year-old waitress, a co-worker, who loved
the dancers in the khaki ads GAP was airing at the time, suggested they
learn swing dancing. Mylie agreed, and they signed up for a class at the
Go Dance studio on Burnet Road and Hwy 183. Within a year of her first
lesson, she became a trained instructor herself. A few years later, at the
tender age of 23, she bought the studio. Thirteen years later, Mylie is the
owner of the original studio, now located in Northcross Mall, and a second
studio that opened in November in Lakeway at Discovery Point on FM 620
South. A third studio will open in South Austin in the first quarter of 2014.
Mylie invited Shaidri Alrich, VP of Operations, and Susan Kirklin, VP of
Dance (five and 12-year veterans of the business respectively) to join her as
co-owners this year. I am looking forward to the next phase of Go Dance
history, in the company of these fantastic women whom I have known and
respected for so long.
The Go Dance staff of over 30 instructors offers professional lessons in
social and competitive dance. Go Dance teaches over 20 different partner
dances, with Two-Step, Salsa and Swing being the most popular. Private
instruction is also available for engaged couples learning steps for their first
wedding dance, as well as for dads of brides needing a brush-up before that
important dance with their daughters.
Mylie loves the fact
that Go Dance offers
instruction for adults of
all ages and all skill levels.
She emphasizes that any-
one can learn to dance. In
fact, she once gave lessons
to a man in a wheelchair!
Participants can sign up
for lessons singly or in
groups for a fun night out.
Mylie states that, with
encouragement and pro-
fessional teaching, even
reluctant husbands love
the lessons. Go Dance will
also host weekly dances
where students can bring
friends and practice danc-
ing in a social setting.
Thei r new 4, 500
square-foot studio, with
spectacular views of the hill country, will offer free group classes until the
end of the year, and a complimentary private lesson is always available for
new students.
Wed love to have you come in and try a group class or private lesson
and see if its right for you. Experiencing it is the best way to see how dance
brings joy into the lives of so many people!

INTERIORSAUSTIN
Six years ago, Del and Emily Callman moved their successful Dallas win-
dow treatment business to Spicewood, Texas because they loved the beauty
of the area. Now theyre making the Hill Country even more gorgeous with
the design expertise, knowledge and highly-rated customer service they
offer at InteriorsAustin.
Drawing on their 30 years of experience, as well as Emilys degree in

window treatments for your home. Whether you have new construction
that needs light-controlling window treatments, or youre looking to fresh-
en up your dcor, InteriorsAustin provides everything from the full line
of Hunter Douglas products to shutters and custom draperies. Trying to
purchase window treatments from a big box store can be confusing, and
the level of service is minimal, says Del, but while were competitively
priced, we offer the personal attention and wide variety of products that
discerning customers are
really looking for.
InteriorsAustin knows
how important scenery and
outdoor living are to Austin
homeowners, and for that
reason, they also specialize

They recently installed four exterior shades and a motorized awning on a
house overlooking Lake Travis and created a peaceful, comfortable patio
atmosphere for the residents. With that kind of result, its no wonder that
InteriorsAustin is the choice of so many high-end developments in the area.
In addition to residential commercial and window treatments, Del
and Emily are also a full-service design and remodeling company. Theyve
redone kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms, and once they even converted a
closet into a gorgeous poker room, complete with full-bar and lit cabinets.
InteriorsAustin offers custom headboards, upholstery, flooring and any-
thing else clients in the Austin, Lakeway and San Antonio area may need to
make their home look and feel wonderful. As Emily puts it, Theres really
not much we cant do.
Relationships are important to the Callmans, and they will do whatever
they can to make sure the customers journey from planning to completion
is an effortless one. Its why their client list includes celebrities and sports
figures, but its also why InteriorsAustin earned the much-sought-after
A-rating and Honor Roll ranking on Angies List.
Call InteriorsAustin and set a time to visit their Spicewood showroom
or arrange for them to come to your house. With their wide selection of
window treatments, keen eye for style and a dedication to customer service,
Del and Emily are certain to improve not only your homes outlook but your
own as well!

TOWN AND COUNTRY LEATHER
Town & Country Leather owners Eric and Karen Salem, longtime residents
of the hill country, love the Bee Cave/Lakeway community and area so
much that they recently opened their third retail leather furniture show-
room at 12703 Highway 71 West, across from the Hill Country Galleria.
The Bee Cave store joins the original Town & Country Austin showroom
on Anderson Lane, as well as their Houston store located in the Houston
Galleria district. The Salems took
great care to maintain the integ-
rity of their new stores historic
limestone building, a fixture in
Bee Cave, and made only neces-
sary changes when updating it.
Adjacent to their showroom is a
beautiful new Chase Flooring store.
Eric and Karen brought Town
& Country Leather to Bee Cave
because they realized that consum-
ers had very limited options when
shopping for furniture in this area.
We have so much business in
our Anderson store from people
who live out here, and we wanted
to make it more convenient for
them, Karen explains. Their new location has already seen brisk business.
Town & Country Leather boasts the largest selection of leather furni-
ture in central Texas, and they feature traditional, modern and transitional
styles for your home. Their staff of leather experts can help you determine
which of the several different grades of leather, available in 50 different col-
ors, is right for you, whether youre a pet owner, have small children or just
need something that will look amazing in your family room, living room or
media room. From hill country to high-rise, its all Texas Style.
Furniture can be custom-ordered to your preferred grade and color of
leather, with a short 4-6 week wait time. However, everything they have in
the showroom is readily available, in stock and can be delivered within days.
If you need it now, you can take it now, says Eric. He adds that they dont
have the prohibitive markups that are typical of certain high end retailers,
and their prices are comparable to any department or big box store.
Town & Country Leather also boasts an impressive collection of careful-
ly selected decorative accessories, lighting, rugs and tables. They showcase
many beautiful, one-of-a-kind paintings, pillows and succulent and cacti
arrangements, all handmade by Karen. Future plans for Town & Country
Leather are to add more lighting and patio furniture and turn the store into
the Bee Cave Design Center.
Visitors to the store will be delighted to see that Karen and Eric have
installed a fun bar area, so local beers and wines can be enjoyed while shop-
ping. They will offer a $100 coupon for original art and accessories with the
purchase of leather furniture to any customer who mentions Waterways
magazine!

N AUGUST 24, a triumphant crowd of 400 gathered at the
Austin Music Hall to hail the return of the 2013 LIVESTRONG
Texas 4000 Team from Alaska and to celebrate the 10th
Anniversary of the ride at the Tribute Gala. Texas 4000, a nonprofit orga-
nization dedicated to preventing and fighting cancer, was created in 2003
by cancer survivor Chris Condit (BS 04, MS 11). The annual banner event
for each team of dedicated University of Texas students is the 4,000+ mile
ride from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska. It is the longest, annual
charity bike ride in the world and, to date, Texas 4000 has raised more
than $4 million in the fight against cancer.
In their mission statement, members consider the Texas 4000
a journey that takes grit, determination, and support. And that is
why they consider it a metaphor for the battle against cancer. Why do
they ride? Our mission is to share hope, knowledge and charity from
Texas to Alaska and beyond. We share hope by letting those touched
by cancer know that people like us are riding for them and are deter-
mined to eliminate the disease. We share knowledge by bringing
life-saving information about cancer prevention to communities
large and small. We share charity by making a commitment to sup-
port cancer research and leading the charge in overcoming cancer.
We ride for those fighting cancer. We ride in memory of those lost
to cancer. We ride in support of those caring for loved ones suffering
with cancer. We ride to a future without cancer.

The 2013 riders who are pictured here included 69 University of Texas
college students, representing many different majors, fitness levels and
backgrounds. Each of them has a unique and personal tie to cancer. Up
until 2013, riders followed two routes to Alaska, one through the Rockies
and the other through the Sierras. 2013 riders forged a third route through
new territory, adding an Ozarks team to the Rockies and Sierra teams. They
raised $468,000 for the fight against cancer.
Each team spends 19 months training and preparing before ever leaving
Austin. The 2014 team was selected on November 1, 2012 and includes 89
students. Having met their first big fundraising goal of $1,500 per person,
team members received their bikes in late October. The 2014 team has
already raised $248,000 and eagerly awaits their turn to ride.

ATERWAYS readers may remember our Winter 2012-2013 cover story about Talaya
Frazier and the Cheyanna Foundation that was established to champion children with
rare and undiagnosed conditions. One year later, Talayas nonprofit (renamed Cheyannas
Champions for Children or CC4C) has dramatically expanded its reach and visibility.
Pictured here is the CC4C Micro-Marathon held at the Hill Country
Galleria on September 22. Nearly 300 registered runners showed up
to run the 2.62 mile route along the hike and bike trail. They included
friends and families and the high school teams and booster clubs that
have adopted a child as an honorary member of their group. As part of
a new program initiated at the beginning of the 2013-2014 academic
year, CC4C reached out to athletic directors at each of their 10 chil-
drens districts to ask them to allow the children to become honorary
members of a high school team or booster of their choosing. Every
school contacted embraced the program with enthusiasm. The teams
and booster clubs also manned cheer stations for the individual child
they championed at the Micro-Marathon. The Hays Highsteppers, the
Bowie Silver Stars, the Lake Travis Cavalettes, Cedar Park Baseball,

Football and Band, Lake Travis Football and Baseball, Round
rock Basketball, and Westlake Football and Cheer are the cur-
rent championing teams.
The nonprofit has an active fundraising arm to solicit
donations to assist familys expenses not covered by insur-
ance. A portion of the proceeds from the Micro-Marathon
were used to buy critical pain patches for Josh. They are pro-
hibitively expensive, and they are not covered by insurance.
CC4C was able to provide tickets for Garrison to return to
Johns Hopkins for a continuation of the life-altering treat-
ments he received there last summer.
But the establishment of the high school program has
been a stroke of genius. The special care and devotion these
high school students are showering on their children has had
a truly magical effect, providing joy and lifting the spirits of
children whose rare diseases have imposed so much suffering
and misery.
The Hill Country Galleria hosted the event.
