Happy Halloween
Little ghosts, zombies and vampires will invade Tech Terrace on Halloween. It is customary to leave your porch light on if you want trick or treaters. Please drive slow as there will be a lot of children hitting the streets.

Dog Days Over At Tech Terrace Park
Tech Terrace Park became Lubbock's defacto dog park in 2011. Every night around 6 or 7 the park would be filled with dogs running and frolicking. This past Friday and Saturday, officers from the Lubbock Police Department and Animal Services were on hand to let dog owners know that it was not okay to let their dogs run free. According to George Torres, head of Animal Services, the city had received several complaints over the past few months about untethered dogs chasing joggers and messes left behind. Signs in the park clearly state all dogs must remain on a leash.

Tour de Tech Terrace this Satuday
The Fall 2011 Tour de Tech Terrace will take place this Saturday. The following news release was sent to UNIT News:
The Tour begins at 3019 33rd Street. There are five scheduled stops:
2512 27th Street
3304 30th Street
2808 23rd Street
3010 31st Street

The community of Tech Terrace will host the 16th bi-annual Tour De Tech Terrace at 3 p.m. on Oct. 1.
Just as in the spring, canned goods will take the place of an entrance fee. The most recent TDTT garnered more than 1,500 pounds of canned goods that were donated to the South Plains Food Bank. The fall TDTT is hopeful to double this amount and will challenge each participant to do his or her part in reaching this goal.
The fall TDTT will include a designated stopping point and provided brief entertainment hosted by Red Bull. The Lubbock Police Department has agreed to provide a supervised escort of the Tour, as well as patrol supervision to insure the safety of the riders, as well as order within the community.
As in previous Tours, the organizers have not lost sight of their devotion to giving back to the Tech Terrace community, as well as to the city of Lubbock through the associated canned food drive and look to advance further in the development of future philanthropic efforts.
The Tour begins at 3019 33rd Street. There are five scheduled stops:
2512 27th Street
3304 30th Street
2808 23rd Street
3010 31st Street
20th and Akron (Lutheran Student Ministries Parking Lot)
Note: Enter the Lutheran Student Ministries church parking lot from 20th Street. Do not use the Cafe J Parking Lot.
The Tour is scheduled to wrap up around 7:00 pm.
Be aware of partcipants in these areas.

Loose Dogs
UNIT News received the following email from a concerned neighbor:
This morning I had a pretty big altercation with 2 dogs that were loose and tried to kill a neighbor's cat. Seems like a reminder in blog form or even door to door fliers might be appropriate to remind neighbors to leash their dogs.
Loose dogs roaming the neighborhood have presented problems in the past. If you see a stray dog call Animal Services by using the 311.

Crime Alert
A neighbor on 26th Street reported an attempted break-in at 26th & Geneva.
On 9/6 an attempted breakin was averted by people who were home. The individuals were driving a maroon 4-door vehicle. It was 3 hispanic men, one thin and two stocky, all with shaved heads and tattoos on their arms. They attempted to open the front door, and the person at home exited the house out the side and came around to ask the guys what they were doing. The car had a Marines sticker on the window.
Evidently, the description matches an earlier break-in in the Tech Terrace area.
Please let people know they should be on the lookout and should remember to lock their doors.

Keep tabs on your dogs
Our beloved dog, Bear, passed away suddenly on Sunday afternoon. The vet at the Small Animal Emergency Clinic (very kind folks) said she had enough toxins in her system to kill three dogs. We are positive she did not get into anything in the backyard so it appears she was intentionally poisoned. This would not be the first case of dog poisoning in the neighborhood. Keep an eye on your beloved pets.

TTU Vernacular Music Center community-outreach open meeting
Musicians, dancers, listeners, organizers: open-outreach community meeting for TTU Vernacular Music Center, Saturday Sept 10 5-8pm: J&B Coffee (26th & Boston)
YOU ARE INVITED! On Saturday, September 10 at 5:00 PM in the back room of J&B Coffee (26th & Boston), the Texas Tech University Vernacular Music Center (http://ttuvmc.org ) hosts an open organizing meeting, potluck, and jam session for community involvement. Musicians, singers, dancers, listeners, organizers, families, and all others interested are very welcome! Bring your instrument & your dancin’ shoes!
The TTU Vernacular Music Center, celebrating its 10th year in Fall 2011, is a center for research, teaching, and advocacy in the world’s vernacular musics—those musics that are learned, taught, and passed on by ear and in the memory. In the 10 years since its foundation, the VMC has sponsored and partnered in hundreds of events across the TTU campus and around the region--concerts, workshops, guest lectures, dances—with a wide range of collaborating individuals and organizations.
At this open meeting, VMC organizers, staff, students, and ensemble representatives will be present to talk about what they do, to share information about the great events calendar planned for 2011-12, to announce several new initiatives, and to invite the community’s questions and suggestions. Participating will be: the directors of the TTU Early Music Ensemble (http://ttuearlymusic.org ), Tzumba! World Music Ensemble (http://on.fb.me/fHuMGg ), Ragtime Ensemble (contact mark.morton@ttu.edu ) and the Celtic Ensemble ( http://ttucelticensemble.com/ ), as well as representatives from the Tech Irish Set-Dancers (http://techsetdancers.com ), Caprock Morris border morris dance team ( http://caprockmorris.com/ ), and the Caprock English Country Dancers (http://englishcountrydancers.com/)
The 2011-12 calendar includes very exciting and engaging concerts, guest artists, and special events, including shows by all the participating ensembles, classes offered by the dance groups, guest lectures and participatory workshops by leading music and dance teachers from around the world, as well as October’s “Pirate Costume Ball,” December’s Caprock Celtic Christmas, and April’s “Dancing with Mr Darcy: A Jane Austen Evening with the Vernacular Music Center.”
This open meeting on September 10th is an outreach and brainstorming session, during which we hope to generate new and exciting ideas. We invite participation by all members of the community in the VMC’s wide slate of activities, and we look forward to sharing ideas and enthusiasm between and across the campus, the community, and the region. In addition, we announce the launch of the VMC’s 501(c)3 sister organization, the Roots Music Institute (http://www.rootsmusicinstitute.com) . We hope that you will join us!
