The cause of Heidy Arteaga’s death was finally determined more than three months after the local mother-of-four, who was expecting her fifth child, passed away at age 40.

Heidy died on May 7 of a rare disease called lymphocytic myocarditis, said Anthony Arteaga, her husband of eight years who lives in Four Points. Their unborn daughter, Chloe Nicole Arteaga, also died that morning.

Steiner Cleaners hit again on Labor Day

Karl Schulte gets a phone call this morning before 7 a.m. His employee at Steiner Cleaners was pulling into a parking spot in front of the store and in her headlights saw a burglar rushing away in a gray/blue SUV.

The burglar smashed the front door — like what happened just eight days earlier — and drove a mid-sized Chevrolet, like an Equinox, which was an older model, maybe six years old or so, Schulte said.

They drove out of the Steiner Ranch shopping center taking the road next to Lakeside Pizza & Grill. In the process of leaving the center, they did not have their headlights on and nearly ran into a Lake Travis Fire Rescue firefighter, who was jogging. He confirmed the make and model of the vehicle, Schulte said.

“It’s aggravating at this point,” said Schulte, who lives in River Place. “They didn’t get anything. We moved things around.”

The attempted burglary happened around 6:45 a.m. on Labor Day Sept. 3.  By 9 a.m. the door was replaced and again the cost, like last time, was around $650. Continue reading →
