 Catch up and get ahead with the edge for the week of July 27th. Do your part to conserve water this summer. Start right in the garden with an oya. San Antonio ceramic artist Diana Kersi explains this ancient irrigation technique on a YouTube video that has been watched nearly 8,000 times around the world. You can buy a lovely ceramic oya or follow Diana's easy instructions and make your way. And what happens is the plant roots start to grow up against the oya and they pull the moisture out of the oya and they only use the water that they need. How do you think the city should spend its money? San Antonio asked and 2,000 of you answered. San Antonio's number one funding priority is to protect children and adults by spending more on safer sidewalks and streets. More than a quarter of the people who suggested cuts said they support the city's position in negotiations with the police and fire unions and want to see the uniformed employees' benefits cut. Read more online and see what people are saying about the 2016 budget. Unless we start planning now, getting around could be impossible in 2040 after San Antonio grows by one million more people. Do you have an idea? SHMRO wants to hear from you at a community meeting or online. Here's one person's idea. Add a cool serene commuter option on the San Antonio River and call it Viario. Now it's your turn. Speak up. In case you haven't noticed, it's hot out there, which means pet owners should take care not to leave their dogs in their vehicles or hot truck beds. Dogs don't sweat, so they can't control their body temperature as well as we do. They cool themselves through panting and through the soles of their paws. That's why dogs can suffer from heat stroke in a hot car in under 10 minutes. Go online to learn more about keeping your pets safe in the summer heat.
