Splash pad malfunctioning at Pease Park

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- An unknown issue has kept the splash pad at Pease Park turned off for the majority of the summer season, according to the interim CEO of the Pease Park Conservancy. A controller that monitors the water quality at the splash pad is falsely reading the water pH and the ORP (oxidation reduction potential), which is then automatically shutting off the splash pad. The park has tried replacing the controller, probes that monitor the water, and the problem is still happening. "As much fun as splash pads are, we have to ensure that the water quality is safe at all times. Until we can diagnose and figure out what the issue is with the controller, the reality is we can't ensure the water is safe," Chuck Smith, the interim CEO of the Pease Park Conservancy, said. State regulations for splash pads Splash pads must follow rules in order to ensure the water is safe for children. A splash pad system must have a controller that constantly monitors the water quality, automatically ...Kyle to break ground on playground and splash pads

That being said, we have been having the same argument for a year now. My wife has a good friend who is a man. I know him, he's a nice guy. I don't believe he has any desire to be with my wife. He's been with other people on and off for the past few years. That being said, they always make plans to go out together. Sometimes, she thinks of him first before asking me if it's something I want to do. Most of the time it isn't, and she probably knows that, but still, don't you think I should always be her first ask for anything that involves something she specifically wants to do, whether it's a hike, or a concert or a dinner? Or am I being too controlling? My feelings get hurt, and sometimes I think she enjoy...5 things to know this Monday, July 24

Dear Amy: I have three children, ages 38, 41, and 52.The two youngest have children under the age of 10.Every year I give the children thousands of dollars. I give my oldest three times as much because she has been ill for several years, even though she refuses to see a traditional doctor.None of my children acknowledge my gifts. The middle child will thank me if I ask if the money has shown up in the children’s accounts.This is complicated by a car accident when my eldest, while she was high on drugs, killed a woman and her baby.She went to jail for four years. I visited her on weekends, taking away time from the other two. We had to move to another city to avoid death threats to our family, mostly to the children.The youngest two still don’t speak to her.Now my oldest isn’t speaking to me because I “favor her siblings.”I don’t expect gratitude, but an acknowledgment would be nice.I have had years of therapy, but my children refuse to get any.Do I have any options, aside from stopp...Alexei Navalny: What new charges does the Russian opposition politician face?

“The meaning of life is to find your gift; the purpose of life is to give it away.” — Picasso“Some people are born with the gift of ‘card sense,'” a club player told me. “They can visualize and manipulate card arrays. I can’t do it.”“Card sense can be developed,” I said.My friend played at today’s 3NT. West led a spade in response to East’s light overcall.“I played dummy’s queen, and East played the ten. I started the diamonds next, and West won and led another spade, forcing out my ace. When East took the ace of diamonds, he took three spades. My partner says I have the card sense of a carrot.”FIRST SPADEIt’s a tough deal. On the first spade, South must play low from both hands. If East continues spades, South wins and starts the diamonds, and since East has only one entry, he can’t use his long spades.If East shifts to a club at Trick Two, South must guess to duck in both ha...Germany 6, Morocco 0
