County Judge Emmett proposes alternative to property tax
Generation Park businesses

By Tom Broad
Tribune Correspondent
Harris County Judge Ed Emmett has
an alternative to the property tax.
“That’s our only source of income,”
Emmett confessed to a Lake Houston
Chamber luncheon crowd, “the most reviled
tax there is – and rightfully so.”
Emmett earned an enthusiastic round
of applause when he suggested a 1.6-percent
sales tax would raise the same amount of

money for the county and the property tax
could be abolished. He spoke to a capacity
crowd on Sept. 29 at the chamber’s annual
State of the County Luncheon.
Emmett listed six areas the county is
responsible for – law enforcement, health
care, transportation, flood control, homeland
security and emergency management, and
also quality of life.
Each is funded through local property
taxes, the judge said, the only funding
means allowed by the state.
“Forty percent of our county budget is
spent on law enforcement,” the judge said, Marilyn Burgess, candidate for Harris County School Trustee Pct. 4, discusses

“The state tests the

gives us that information,”
said Bower. “We focussed
on the various problems
resulting in bacteria levels
being high in the San Jacinto
River in our second meeting
and ended with formalizing
the Steering Committee,
after a vote. After gathering
data from our computer
monitoring stations, we
spoke to the experts, then
consolidated the information
and brought it back with
recommendations to our
next meetings in front of all
stakeholders, local entities,
residents and now this

The focus on restoring

A celebrated Kingwood tradition – LSC-TV
Channel 24 – will sign off the air Dec. 31.
LSC-TV is the Lone Star College television
station, operating 24 hours a day, every day
of the year, and is located on Channel 24 for
SuddenLink cable subscribers in Kingwood and
Porter. Besides providing informational videos
about Lone Star College-Kingwood and the
many guest speakers who speak at the campus,
the channel promotes and tapes local events and
local issues, especially from Lake Houston-area
nonprofit agencies, as well local school districts,
chambers of commerce, government and civic
groups.
“In these tough fiscal times, our campus must
focus on supporting programs that directly impact
student success or enrollment and instruction,”
explained Lone Star-Kingwood President Dr.
Katherine Persson. “It was a financial decision.”
Persson recalls the day in January 1999 when
then-Kingwood campus President Steve Head
asked Persson to “create” a 24/365 television
station – in four months!
“None of us had ‘created’ a station before,”
recalls Persson. “We called other campuses,
listened to how they’d done it, created a
curriculum, and were on the air by April 15.”

Quest Early College High School receives TEA honors Graduates earn two-year
college degrees in high school
By Susan McFarland
If one asks an area resident what Quest is, they
might not be able to give a good answer. The Humble
ISD high school has been around for 22 years,
growing through various incarnations over that period
in various locations with different reputations. Today,
Quest is an early college high school, which, through
a partnership with Lone Star College, allows high
school students to receive an associate’s degree at the
same time they receive their high school diploma at no
cost to the student.

Kingwood resident turns 100
When Rosemary Beard
reveals her age, people are
astounded. They say she
looks to be in her 70s or
80s, but on Oct. 5, Beard
turned 100 years old.
She says she has always
looked young for her age.
She credits that to “good
genes,” but also due to a
very active lifestyle and a
youthful outlook.
Beard was born in
Vinita, Okla. on Oct. 5,
1916. She attended Vinita
High School, where she
was very active in sports
and school activities. From
an early age she studied
dancing, both in Tulsa

K-9 Airlift will be in Kingwood Oct. 22
from noon-4 p.m. with a booth at the Holy
Comforter Lutheran Church Fall Festival
– Oktoberfest, which will feature German
food, beer and a brass band. It’s a good time
to find out what K-9 Airlift is all about, and
help rescued animals.
A “spirit night” for K-9 Airlift will
take place at Tin Roof Barbecue Oct. 27
from 5-9 p.m. Each customer who mentions
K-9 Airlift when they pay will generate a
donation to this charity.
Local fortune teller, Madame Barksalot,
will be on hand to predict futures and offer
insight into past, present and future “visions”
for all willing participants. Be forewarned
that she might see a dog, cat, burro or goat
adoption in her crystal ball.
K-9 Airlift is a 501-(c)(3) nonprofit
animal rescue located in Huffman and
includes a rescue barn for domestic farm
animals. Currently, there are more than 100
animals in the care of K-Airlift: four horses,
three burros, two pigs, one goat, 19 rabbits,
six turkeys, 17 chickens, 11 dogs, five birds
and 24 cats, including 12 cats in the feral
colony at the barn.
“With cold weather approaching,
old towels and blankets are useful and
appreciated donations,” said K-9 Airlift
owner Lynne Jennings. “Old fence pickets
to be used for an enclosure for geese would
be greatly appreciated as well.”
For more information about K-9 Airlift,

EMPATHY
To share is to experience life. To put yourself in someone else’s place is empathy.
Empathy is a good thing. What does this have to do with Jesus? Here comes the
parables. During the time Jesus was a human body and spirit on this earth, most
people were uneducated. Uneducated mainly means you cannot read or write.
If a person cannot read or write, they are going to have difficulty understanding
such entities as grace and faith. These and other abstract considerations are
going to be explained with the aid of parables. A parable is not a lie. A parable
furnishes a concrete subject to help interpret various abstract subjects. If you
study the word parallel and 100 other words that start with para, you will miss
out on comparable because comparable does not start with para. A comparable
is not an exact duplication, but gives an uneducated mind an idea to help
understand faith, grace, etc. If not already, let’s get patriotic. The motto of the
U.S. Coast Guard is Semper Paratus. Semper Paratus could be interpreted as
always parallel to/with you or headed in your direction. Mercy, hope and glory
are also some good things.
Inspiration is the BREATH of life. Spirit is in the middle of it.
911 plus 15 years. Lord, have mercy on the families of the victims.

ASK THE
GARDENER
How do I grow red
spider lilies? Where can
I find them?
Red
spider
lily
(Lycoris radiata) is one
of the most delightful
harbingers of autumn
in our gardens. Like
clockwork, right after the
Duling
equinox, their sparkling
flowers seem to magically explode from
the ground, resembling a little burst of
fireworks on thin stems about 15” high.
Their long, thin leaves, dark green with
a lighter midrib, emerge after flowering
for a short period in winter before going
dormant in spring. They are bulbs that
require full sun to part shade and do not
want to be kept too wet, particularly in
summer. They are best planted in spring,
just below the surface of the ground
with the tip exposed. Planting within a
low groundcover works very well for
them and offers a marvelous seasonal
embellishment to a carpet of foliage.
Once established, bulbs will increase
over time to form small colonies by
offsets and self-sown seed. Propagation
by division is most effective, as seedlings
may take up to five years to flower.
This is just one of approximately 20
Lycoris species that are native to China,
Japan and the eastern Himalayan region,
with flowers that bloom in shades of red,
yellow, orange, white and pink. While
it is increasingly seen for sale in our
local garden centers, red spider lily was
traditionally acquired as a “pass-along
plant” from a generous gardening friend.
However, it and the other Lycoris species
are available from mail-order nurseries
via a quick online search.

Botanic Gardens in Humble. Send your

What would YOU do with $1,022?
What do O.J. Simpson, working
from home and those ungrateful
Alaskans all have in common? Those
are my fascinating topics this issue.
First, where were you when you
heard the O.J. Simpson verdict?
That was 21 years ago – can you
believe it? We’d just arrived to Lake
Houston. I was at a Lake Houston
Chamber meeting when somebody said
the jury was back. We were mesmerized
until the verdict was read.
O.J. isn’t someone I think about,
but leave it to the New York Times to
bring him back. The Times, a couple
days ago, spotlighted a new book by
Alan Dershowitz, one of O.J.’s defense
lawyers. It’s packed with all kinds of
tasty tidbits:
Just before the verdict was
revealed, America stopped. More
than 100 million people were glued
to their televisions (Only 84 million
watched Clinton and Trump debate.).
Trading volume on the New York Stock
Exchange dropped 40 percent.
The jury may have found O.J. not
guilty that day but, 14 years later, he
went to prison for another altercation.
Guess what? O.J. is eligible for parole
next year.
Next, working from home.
You don’t get anything done at
work because of all the interruptions?
Wrong, wrong, wrong. All those dull,
dumb meetings you have to go to,
the miles you have to drive and the
interruptions you get from the idiot
down the hall pale in comparison to
TOM
BROAD
what the guy/gal working at home has
to go through.
The dog wants in. The cat wants to
be fed. The wash has to be put in the
dryer. The bug guy is here for his twicea-year inspection. The dog wants out.
The cat wants to be fed. The dryer is
done. See what happens? No time to
work.
I’d looked forward to retirement
because I thought this would be the
opportunity to really sit down and write
profound articles for Cynthia Calvert
and start that mystery novel I’ve had
in my head since I was 30. Too many
interruptions. I may have to go back to
a real job.
Finally, those ungrateful Alaskans.
First,
some
much-needed
background thanks to an Associated
Press article. Since 1976, everybody
who has lived in Alaska for a year
gets free money. It’s called the Alaska
Permanent Fund. The cash comes from
the money Alaska makes off their oil
and how much each Alaskan gets is
based on a five-year average of the
state’s multi-billion-dollar fund.
A couple years ago, the checks
were a paltry $900 because of the
recession. Things improved, though,
because last year, if you lived in Alaska,
the state would have put a record
$2,072 in your bank account. Based on
the formula, Alaskans were expecting
$2,100 this year – but the Governor
said NO! Instead, Alaskans will get
ONLY $1,022. Those low oil prices
have wrecked the Alaska economy and
the state is facing a mult-billion-dollar
deficit. Budget problems don’t bother
some Alaskans. They’re complaining
– loudly. They don’t want only $1,022.
I offer no sympathy. Texas has four
billion more barrels of oil reserves than
Alaska (USA Today told me that) and
I’m certainly not expecting a check
from Texas.
What would you do with $1,022
in case the sky fell and our Texas
politicians got generous? Tell Tom
at [email protected].
A case of furniture polish
DIXIE
FRANTZ
“Do you realize ya’ll have been
talking about redoing the kitchen
since I was a little kid?” mentioned
our 29-year-old son during a recent
Facetime chat.
Wow…I had no idea it had
been that long. But yeah…this is
THE week. Geez, if only the whole
kitchen makeover could be super
simple…and quick…like over and
done in 15 minutes instead of four to
six weeks.
Last night I dreamed of entering
the front door after the kitchen was
demolished. Thick ashen dust still
floated in the air, covering everything
much like the city of Pompeii when
Mt. Vesuvius blew its top. Reminds
me I gotta remember to pick up a case
of furniture polish at the store before
the dust hardens into concrete!
It is really too bad our old and
crusty kitchen couldn’t simply
be unbuttoned like a worn winter
jacket. A totally new kitchen could
then be built off-site and inserted
with something akin to a shiny prefabricated Lego activity set. I have
Exact Opposites
Dear Editor:
A pro Doctrine of Biblical
Inerrancy website, www.gotquestions.
org, says, “The Bible judges us, not
vice versa.” Critical thinkers laugh at
that statement. Instead of urging us to
try and find a false biblical statement,
that website urges us to trust the
Bible and to pray if we have trouble
understanding it. Can you imagine
a scientist publishing a theory and
saying, “Trust me; my theory is true.
No need exists to test it.”? When urged
to pray, a critical thinker asks: “But
does prayer work?” “No,” says many
faith healing deaths and this data:
Some six million Jews perished in
Hitler’s concentration camps. Surely
many of them prayed for help. What
good did it do them? None! God stood
idly by and watched six million men,
women, and children be slaughtered.
That website also asks, “If the Bible is
not reliable, then on what do we base
our beliefs?” Scientists and others base
many of their beliefs on (1) theories
(formulated by thoughtful humans)
about the way in which the world
works and (2) probing examinations
of each theory’s inner and external
merit. Experimental tests address
the external merit issue. Einstein’s
the strangest feeling deep down in
the marrow of my left tibia bone that
our kitchen remodel will not happen
in that fashion.
Removing more than three
decades of old kitchen stuff last week
out of the cabinets was bad enough.
Have you ever peered into the very
back of your kitchen cabinets? It’s
really dark and scary, like one of
those horror movies where a bony
hand reaches out and tries to pull
you to the netherworld. Creepy …
and just in time for Halloween!
I suspect our neighbors will be
extra delighted with us for the next
four or so weeks. I’m thinking about
having a magnetized sign made for
both sides of my car that says, “I am
so sorry neighbors,” with a smiley
face at the end. When I get to the
end of the block, I can just hop out
of the car, peel them off, and throw
the signs in the back seat. Perhaps an
apologetic handwritten note would
be more personal!
We are also concerned about
how the dog is going to be impacted
with all of the construction stress.
Our Lulu is probably the most fearful
dog on the planet. Someone rings the
doorbell and Lulu can’t find a hiding
place fast enough. Lots of different
people working in our house for
weeks just might send her over a high
cliff. On the advice of our vet, today
I purchased a pheromone calming
collar. It is supposed to relieve
stress and has a lovely lavender and
chamomile scent. If it doesn’t keep
Lulu mellow … at least she will
smell mighty nice.
Although not a great guard
dog, our Lulu does have other
gifts. You should see her retrieve
the newspaper from the front yard
every morning. I never get tired
of watching her run a victory lap
afterward around the couch before
letting loose of the paper. That is
when her faucet of drool starts and
the doggie treat is presented for
consumption. Lulu’s favorite day
is Sunday when she gets two treats
for the extra heavy newspaper.
Now that I think about it, perhaps
supplying our workers with dog
treats for their pockets would
lighten Lulu’s emotional load.
I’m not the least bit worried
about our special needs daughter.
Mimi is going to think there is a party
going on every day at our house for
the next month or so. If our peopleloving daughter gets her wheelchair
even close to a worker dude, there
is a hug-fest going down! Note to
self…pre-load workers to shake
Mimi’s hand rather than giving her
a hug. She doesn’t like to let go…
and we did not include chiropractor
sessions in our remodel contract.
Ricky really has to be proud of
his parents. At least we didn’t wait
till he was a senior citizen before
starting our kitchen remodel.

scientific studies, begun in earnest
when he was 10 years old, led him at
age 12 to conclude that “much in the
stories of the Bible could not be true”
(his words). Being a Jew, he probably
spoke of Old testament stories
(creation, Moses parting the Red Sea,
etc.). Einstein epitomized critical
thinking, for he understood that any
statement, whatever its source, may
be false, and he sought evidence of its
falsity. Biblical thinking and critical
thinking are exact opposites. Schools
should teach students to think critically
about everything―even the Bible.

Dear Editor:
Last fall, I traveled on a Good
for Texas Tour, visiting with people
from every corner of our state to talk
about the strengths and weaknesses
of our local economies. This year,
I went on the road again. I’ve just
returned from our Good for Texas
Tour: Military Edition, which allowed
me to visit nine military bases across
the state. As our state’s chief financial
officer, I made the trip to share the
Top viewed story:

ourtribune.com
good news about Texas’ long-standing
commitment to the military, unveiling
a study from my office that highlights
the profound economic benefits
our state derives from hosting these
facilities. It was an enlightening
and often moving experience. The
military’s first and foremost goal is
our national security, and I was proud
and grateful to meet people who’ve
dedicated their lives to keeping our
nation and our institutions safe. It was
easy to see the mutually beneficial
relationship between our military
installations and nearby communities.
The armed services employ thousands
of civilian Texans ― directly and
through contractors ― and keep
local economies humming with their
demand for supplies and services. Our
study found that the 15 major military
installations located in Texas generate
$136.6 billion in economic activity
here each year, and add $81.4 billion
to our gross domestic product. They
also generate $48.1 billion in personal
income annually. In all, the military
helps support more than 800,000 Texas
jobs. It’s an important part of a strong,
diverse and growing Texas economy.

community
and
the
community
to
the
college,”
said
Diane
Blanco, who was director
of college relations at the
time and administered
the station. “We wanted
to
communicate
the
wonderful, life-changing
journey that is possible
at the Kingwood campus,
and LSC-TV did that very
effectively in sharing the
stories of our students,
faculty and programs.”
Stephanie
Gillette
brought her experience as
a New Orleans television
news editor and sports and
special events producer
to Kingwood when she
became program manager.
“My goal was to
demonstrate how our college
educational
programs
applied to exciting careers
and opportunities,” Gillette
recalled.
“We did an incredible
job of helping unite
the college and the
community,” said Gillette,
who now is a stay-at-home
mom in Austin.
One unique way the
college and community
united was when the Rotary
Club of Humble invited
Gillette and one of the
station’s producers to travel
with them to Nicaragua for
a documentary about the
club’s efforts to help more
than 800 children living off
garbage in a city dump.
“We
documented
the charitable work of
Padre
Marco
Dessy,
which was supported by
our community, our own
college faculty and staff,”
Gillette recalled. “Thanks
to Rotary, these ‘children of
the dump’ were educated,
learned a trade and have a
better life.”
The
station
won
a Telly Award for that
documentary, one of many
awards won over the
years for producing shows
such as ones on historic
Montgomery, Texas, and
the Kingwood Garden
Club.
Gillette believes the
station was ahead of its
time.
“The Food Network
and HGTV are popular
today and I am proud that,
15 years ago, we were doing
that kind of programming,
featuring our own college
programs and businesses,”
she said.
“We created shows
about home décor and
design with the college
interior design program,”
Gillette recalled, “and we
fired up the grill with Rick
Alspaugh showing the best
way to barbecue.”
Partnering with area
nonprofits has been an
important part of LSCTV’s legacy as well.
“We gave a voice
to local nonprofits like
FamilyTime,
HAAM,
the
American
Heart
Association and Memorial
Hermann
Northeast’s
Project
Mammogram,
so they could share
issues important to our
community,” Gillette said.
Blanco
recalled
poignant videos about
victims of domestic abuse
that Gillette’s team created
for FamilyTime.
“These videos capture
the experiences of women
who have been abused
and later rescued through
FamilyTime
programs,”
Blanco said. “I believe
many donations were given
and many individuals
helped because of those
videos.”
One of LSC-TV’s less
visible roles was to nurture
student interns. Under
the guidance of program
manager Garrick Jobert, the
interns learned all aspects
of video production.
“As
an
adjunct
instructor
for
visual
communications
at
Lone Star,” Jobert said,
“I frequently used the
television studio to teach
lessons for my advanced
production courses.”
“One intern who
is very special to me,”
said Blanco, “is Taylor
Lumsden, a Kingwood
High grad who covered
their high school news for
us. He was a natural. He
went on to study television
production and now is a
television photojournalist
at WFAA in Dallas.
Taylor is one of many we
nurtured.”
LSC-TV was created
to deliver college courses
through television, “…But
what made sense in 1999
is difficult to justify in
2016,” said Persson. “The
whole world has changed.
In 1999, we didn’t have
online courses you could
take and degrees you could
earn through your laptop.”
“We have a talented
team at LSC-TV,” said
Persson. “I’m confident
they’ll land on their feet
and we’ll make sure they
do just that.”

on the corridor. By 2030,
with no traffic modifications,
Northpark would see 49,000
trips.
The Authority is on track
with a $55 million project that
will expand Northpark, most
significantly from U.S. 59 to
Woodland Hills Drive, with a
planned overpass carrying cars
over the existing railroad tracks.
The road will be expanded to
six lanes as well.
Webb said the project
will affect Kingwood Drive
commuters too, by more drivers
taking Northpark. Kingwood
Drive commuters will save 3.5
hours per year.
Daily vehicle hours traveled
(VHT) savings are projected
to be 284.3 in 2020 and 191.6
in 2030 for Northpark Drive.
Kingwood Drive would see
dramatic savings of 267.9 VHT
in 2020 and 272.2 in 2030.
The total value of time
saved
to
Kingwood-area
commuters is $79 million.
Safety
would
also
improve on both roads. The
improvements will reduce
crashes by 15 percent and
the value of that reduction is
estimated at $15 million. Crash
data records over a five-year
period from 2011-2015 show
330 crashes, with 45 in 2011
and 71 in 2012.
The crash rate for Northpark
Drive is 211.2 crashes per 100
million miles, significantly
higher (68.9 percent) than the
statewide average of 125.01
per 100 million. In May 2015,
Houston City Council Member
Dave Martin said, the Kingwood
Area Mobility Study indicated
that crash rates for major
corridors in the Kingwood
area are much higher than the
statewide average rate.
Bryan
Brown,
of
engineering
firm
Walter
P. Moore and Associates,
discussed smaller mobility
projects that are scheduled
to begin in the near future.
Brown said “everything is on
track” with improvements at
West Lake Houston Parkway
(WLHP) at Kings Crossing,
on Hamblen Road, and WLHP
and Northpark. Brown’s firm
did an additional assessment
of the last intersection and, in
conjunction with TxDOT and
the City of Houston, identified
several improvements not in
the original plans. A dedicated
right-hand turn lane from
Northpark south onto WLHP
will improve mobility as well
as extending the left turn lane
capacity for cars traveling
north on WLHP turning left
onto Northpark. Also, the
Authority approved additional
funding of $29,500 to provide
the scope of services for these
additions (the addition of a right
turn lane to the southbound
approach of WLHP, extension
of existing dual left turn lanes
on the northbound approach
of WLHP and modification to
the medians of the eastbound
approach
and
eastbound
departure of Northpark Drive
to accommodate the shifting of
an existing left turn lane and
two existing through lanes and
a proposed right turn lane.)
Harris County Precinct 4
Commissioner Jack Cagle has
entered the Northpark Drive
Mobility Improvement Project.
Authority members met with
Cagle recently and agreed to
work cooperatively on overall
mobility improvements in
Kingwood. Cagle has requested
that a project on Hamblen Road,
one of three roads identified by
residents as needing attention
in the Kingwood Mobility
Survey taken by the Authority
last year, be modified from a
proposed widening of three
lanes to four. Engineers hired
by the Authority had suggested
a middle turn lane be added
from Loop 494 to Hickory Lane.
Lindsay Trahan, with Cagle’s
office, said they propose four
lanes instead, with two lanes
running each direction (eastwest.) Cagle also would like
road improvements in the entire
Kingwood area to take Precinct
4’s trail system for hiking and
biking into account. Trahan
also mentioned the possibility
of connecting Hamblen to
McClellan Road.
Sawyer Blackburn, of
Friendswood
Development
Company, announced that the
new Royal Brook subdivision
has sold 51 homes to date.
The pedestrian tunnel on West
Lake Houston Parkway, north
of Northpark Drive, should be
completed by November.
The Authority approved
a financial audit for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 2016.
The Authority has a beginning
balance in August of $6,044,671
and dispersed $1,899,073;
the largest payment went to
Friendswood
Development
Company as a developer
reimbursement. The August 31
balance is $4,146,787.
Allen Brown, a resident,
spoke
to
the
Authority,
admonishing them that their
purpose should be to spend
tax dollars on Kingwood’s
parks, libraries, landscaping,
recreational facilities and much
more rather than “giving money
to billion dollar development
companies.”
Brown
said
that “giving $15 million to
Friendswood
Development
Company” was “wrong and
ridiculous.” Brown went on to
say the only project completed
recently was the new light
on Northpark at Woodridge
Parkway, which, he said, was
done as a favor to Father Borski
(priest of the nearby St. Martha
Catholic Church) and also listed
various projects completed
during the term of former
Councilmember Mike Sullivan,
prompting
Houston
City
Councilmember Dave Martin,
who was listening remotely via
a staff member’s cell phone, to
angrily insist that the Authority
was doing an excellent job and
that he would welcome the
opportunity to speak with Brown
in person about his concerns.
The
Authority
meets
next Oct. 13 at 8 a.m. at the
Kingwood Community Center.

Good times, gemütlichkeit to be found at Oktoberfest
The German tradition of
Oktoberfest is coming to Kingwood.
Holy Comforter Lutheran Church is
proudly sponsoring the Kingwood
Oktoberfest, featuring authentic
German food, polka music, games and
beer. This first event, to be held Oct.
22, will highlight German heritage
and be a great celebration for all to
enjoy.
The “guten zeiten” (good times)
will include music from The Texas
Sound Check Band, a staple in the
Texas polka community for more than
four decades. The band plays festivals
around the state and most recently
took part in the National Polka
Festival in Ennis, Texas.
The Kingwood Oktoberfest
will have local flavors as well,
with both German food by
Kingwood’s own Chef David
Welch and brews on tap from
Kingwood’s own Back Pew
Brewery. Welch, who is the
owner of FireCraft BBQ and has been
executive chef at several Kingwood
restaurants including Raffa’s, will
bring his own unique flare to authentic
German cuisine. Plates, which will
cost $15, will include sausage, pork
schnitzel, sauerkraut, German potato
salad and other wonderful German
foods. There will also be hot dogs,
pretzels, chips, soda, water and, of
course, beer.
Back
Pew
Brewery
and
brewmaster Bobby Harl will provide
their unique take on craft brewing.
Several of Back Pew’s most popular
brews will be on tap for people
to enjoy. Back Pew Brewing
opened this year in Kingwood
and “passionately brews their
beers with creative characters
and daring twists.” Their
beer can be found in several
Kingwood restaurants and bars.
The Kingwood Oktoberfest
will also feature booths and
demonstrations for the whole family
to enjoy and learn about German
heritage. There will also be children’s
games, a video arcade truck and much
more. For those who want to shop,
the Oktoberfest Gift Shop and Fair
Trade Market will be open during the
entire festival. Fair trade is a social
movement whose stated goal is to help
producers in developing countries
achieve better trading conditions and
to promote sustainability.
The Kingwood Oktoberfest will
be from noon-5 p.m., Saturday, Oct.
22, at Holy Comforter Lutheran
Church, located at 1901 Woodland
Hills Drive. Admission is $5 for adults
and $1 for children under 18. Proceeds
will help support church ministries
both at Holy Comforter Lutheran
Church and beyond, including the
many outreach programs that they
serve throughout the world such as
Water to Thrive, which builds wells
for clean, safe water in rural Africa.

The state tells us what
is illegal. There are a lot of
people in jail who shouldn’t
be there. At any given time,
a third of our 9,000 inmates
have mental health issues.
It’s expensive for county
taxpayers to house these
inmates. The state needs to
step up and provide funding
and care.”
Another 28 percent of
the county budget, the judge
said, is spent on the hospital
district and indigent health
care.
“This health care is
funded by your property
tax dollars,” Emmett said.
“Medicare would pay for it
but Texas isn’t participating
in the program, so funds that
could reduce your property
taxes or could be spent on
other programs is spent
instead on health care.”
“Frankly, if the state
cuts property taxes, we’re
going to have to ask you
what do you not want us to
do,” Emmett said.
“A couple times a year,”
he said, “I get calls from
Harris County residents
demanding the county ban
fireworks.”
“We can’t do it,” he
admitted. “We don’t have
ordinance power. Counties
are arms of the state of
Texas. We are only allowed
to do what state law allows
us to do.”
In a discussion about
the Astrodome, Emmett
said as a state antiquities
landmark, tearing it down
– estimated to cost $30
million – is not an option.
He recommends the
Dome be turned over to a
conservancy that would
create two levels of parking
on the floor of the Dome
and commercial space and
exhibition space above that
for auto and boat shows, for
example.
Will Emmett run for
another term in 2018?
“This is a great job, I
enjoy it, but I’ll be turning
70 this year,” the judge
said. “Is this what I want to
do? I’ll have to decide by
December.”
In introducing Emmett,
John Flournoy with McCord
Development, developers
of Generation Park, praised
the county’s support.
“We’re on the map,”
Flournoy said. “Los Cucos
Restaurant in Fall Creek
reported the greatest amount
of alcohol sales of the entire
chain, and Camden Builders’
best performing portfolio
are its apartments at West
Lake Houston at Beltway 8.
We are the ‘shining star’ in

our agenda is to form Source Work Groups. Even though
we’ve got this road map of solutions that we are physically
working out, we will continue to rely on gaining local
knowledge to help guide our monitoring systems.”
This plan requires crucial feedback regarding the density
of the sources of bacteria within its project areas to protect
water quality and regulate development in sensitive areas
of watersheds. Even though H-GAC works with generic
assumptions in their models, awareness is key for them to
fine tune data to protect individual watersheds.
“The whole point of today’s meeting was to start us on
a path. You can talk about the problem, but that does not
fix it. Last meeting, we looked at the watershed quality
issues itself. The very first step in fixing watershed issues
is learning the causes for the problems. And that’s what
we addressed primarily in this meeting; the sources of that
bacteria,” said Bower.
Endlessly recirculating, groundwater is finite. When
untreated this overflow of groundwater brings wastewater
from agriculture, industry, recreation, domestic and nondomestic animals, and wildlife – identified as a few –
increasing bacteria levels. Community initiatives like the
Watershed Protection Plan attempt to protect sensitive land
essential to water supplies and resources.
“What we aim to achieve with each source work group
is answer the presence-absence question of each pollutant
source. And that’s why for our next meeting in November,
we will have a very good picture of what and where the
sources are,” said Bower.
There are other events that take place parallel to the
watershed programs. Bayou Preservation Association, also
working closely with H-GAC, is holding their symposium
Oct. 12. Those interested can email Steve Hupp at shupp@
bayoupreservation.org.
Also, H-GAC has an annual large scale ‘Trash Bash’
clean-up event.

Quest is outperforming
the competition and recently
received campus distinction
in all seven areas rated by
the Texas Education Agency
(TEA). Quest was the only
school in Humble ISD to
achieve this remarkable
accomplishment.
“Earning one or more
campus distinctions is
noteworthy and should
be a source of pride
in a community,” said
Commissioner of Education
Mike Morath. “Earning all
possible distinctions is a
significant accomplishment
and should signal to parents
that there is extraordinary
work taking place on that
campus.”
Some of the confusion
regarding the type of school
Quest is stems from the
school’s original location.
Quest was initially located
on the same campus as the
Humble ISD Community
Learning Center, which is a
school designed for students
who have disciplinary
issues.
The Quest partnership
with Lone Star College
began only seven years
ago. Lone Star College
waives all tuition and
fees for Quest students,
allowing a two-year degree
to be earned free of charge.
Humble ISD purchases the
textbooks Quest students
need and also provides bus
transportation for Quest
students.
Any Humble ISD
student who applies and
is accepted may attend
Quest. Noyes said about
200 students apply each
year and 125 are accepted
for each freshman class.
Currently, Quest has 387
students in grades 9-12.
All students must begin
the Quest program in ninth
grade. To apply, students
are required to submit
an application to Quest
in January of 8th grade.
Noyes said the Quest staff
reviews each application,
transcripts and letters of
recommendation and also
conducts interviews with
potential students and their
parents. Applications are
scored pursuant to a rubric
and preferential scoring
is given to students who
are
socio-economically
disadvantaged, who are the
first in their family to go to
college, or who are at risk.
The majority of Quest
graduates go on to four-year
colleges after graduation.
Kim
Mouser,
Quest
curriculum
facilitator/
academic lead teacher, said
college credits earned at
Quest typically transfer to
Texas state colleges like
UT, A&M and Texas State.
The coursework at
Quest is rigorous, and
Quest has a built-in support
network for students in the
form of 20 “families” that
meet every morning. Each
student is assigned to a
family they will be with for
all four years of high school
and each family is led by a
Quest facilitator.
In addition to receiving
recognition from TEA
this year, Quest was also
recently included in the
“National Rankings for
Best High Schools” list
published by the U.S. News
and World Report magazine.
Kingwood High School and
Infinity Early College High
school in New Caney ISD
also made the U.S. News
and World Report list.

Krafty Shack business is off to a successful start
By Sierra Juarez
Tribune Intern
Ruth Ugarte began
her beloved Krafty Shack
in March and she soon
discovered her deep love
and passion for helping
children uncover their
skills in art using their
imaginations. Indeed, the
business was originally
called
Crafty
Kids
Playroom.
Ugarte opened Krafty
Shack after an extended
stay in the hospital due
to a severe illness. As she
began to recover from her
illness, she was amazed
at the endless support of
the community and her
husband. With the help of
her husband, she opened
Krafty Shack with the
intention of promoting
teamwork,
encouraging
creativity and giving back
to the community.
“I never imagined that
I would find something so
rewarding in my life,” said
Ugarte.
Krafty Shack is a
family-owned, guided art
studio. Over the summer,
Krafty Shack hosted a
summer camp for children
ages 6 and up for three
hours each day. Since
then, many students have
become loyal customers.
Ugarte’s main goal
is to make her classes
affordable. Her husband
urged her to allow children
who may not be able to
afford the classes the
opportunity to attend,
saying that he would pick
up the additional charges.
Many of the children
who take classes for a
discounted rate or no
charge at all have begun
to work there in their free
time.
“I wanted to create a
place where people could
come to have fun with
their family, but would not
have to break the bank,”
said Ugarte.
During the summer
camps, the children are able
to choose what they would
like to paint on canvas.
From foxes to Pokemon,
Ugarte has seen it all. From
there, they begin to make a
rough draft of the painting
on paper. Ugarte and her
daughter, who is a painter,
then advise the children on
any changes that may need
to be made. The children
are then given the “green
light” to begin painting.
The students listen to music
and sing while painting and
eventually play games and
participate in fun activities
while the paint dries.
“We have a party every
day!” said Ugarte.
Ugarte believes her
passion for teaching art to
children began with her
father, who was an artist in
Peru. Her family continues
his legacy by teaching
art skills and working
to
expand
people’s
imagination and creativity.
“Krafty Shack is
giving me life, which I
think is the most important
thing,” said Ugarte.
Other art classes
offered by Kraafty Shack
include
personalized,
guided birthday parties,
family classes, and adult
21-and-up parties where
participants can bring
alcoholic
beverages.
Ugarte hopes that, in the
future, she will be able
to create an after-school
art program along with a
“Mommy and Me” class
for younger children.
Ugarte and her husband
are very committed to
serving the community and
hope to start a fundraiser
Ruth Ugarte, owner of Krafty Shack, stands in front of a mural which she and her students have painted. Photo
by Sierra Juarez
for St. Jude. During the
time Ugarte was sick, she
was endlessly touched and
comforted by small gifts
from the community, such
as blankets from local
churches. Ugarte and her
husband decided to focus
on repaying the favor to
children with cancer at
St. Jude. Her husband
has donated several small
canvases, which she hopes
her art students and the
community will help to
paint. Ugarte envisions
the community helping
with the donation of more
canvases in order to gather
as much of the community
as possible to paint the
canvases as Christmas
presents for the patients.
Krafty Shack has many
summer campers who have
created amazing paintings.
Corinna Stephan, age 6,
was encouraged by her
mother and Ugarte to try a
difficult painting. Stephan
was guided by Ugarte
and was taught new art
skills, which resulted in a
beautiful painting that both
are incredibly proud of.
“To me, it is so very
important to help them
make decisions and use their
creativity,” said Ugarte.
Ugarte also runs an
embroidery business from
her Krafty Shack location
and hopes to expand this in
the future.
Krafty
Shack
is
located at 2614 Chestnut
Ridge Drive, Kingwood.

Bush TSA provides rules regarding carry-on weapons
By Susan McFarland
This year more than
80 people have come to
Transportation
Safety
Administration
(TSA)
security checkpoints at Bush
Intercontinental
Airport
with a firearm, causing
chaos and the Houston
Police Department (HPD)
to be called. These incidents
appear to be on the rise. For
the entirety of 2015, 100
firearms were discovered at
TSA checkpoints. Bush TSA
representatives
recently
held a press conference to
review the rules regarding
taking weapons on board a
plane departing from Bush
Intercontinental.
Gerry Phelan, TSA
federal security director
at Bush Intercontinental,
said people who show
up with a weapon at a
checkpoint typically say, “I
forgot,” when the weapon
is discovered. “Carrying a
weapon may be something
they do every day, as a
force of habit and as part
of their wardrobe,” Phelan
said. Eighty percent of the
weapons discovered so far
this year were loaded.
Bush TSA has specific
protocol it follows upon
discovery of a firearm at a
checkpoint. TSA agents will
call HPD to do a background
check on the weapon and
the individual to determine
whether there is a criminal
element. Phelan noted that,
in addition to being delayed
by HPD, TSA will also
assess a civil penalty of
a minimum of $3,000 for
bringing a loaded firearm to
a TSA security checkpoint.
An unloaded weapon can
result in a fine of half that
amount.
Though passengers are
not permitted to carry on
firearms, Phelan said it’s
acceptable to pack a firearm
in checked luggage as long
as a few requirements are
met: (1) the firearm is
cleared of ammunition and
magazine; ( 2) rounds are
separated; (3) an airline
declaration form is filled
out; and (4) the firearm is
packed in a hard case. After
declaring the weapon at an
airline counter, a copy of the
declaration form is placed
in the case and the case is
locked by the passenger.
The case is required to have
the passenger’s name and
address on the outside in
case TSA needs to open the
case. Proof of ownership of
the weapon is not required.
If a firearm is packed
illegally in a checked bag
or is not declared, HPD can
also be called and/or the
owner of the checked bag
can be pulled off the aircraft,
Phelan said. The type of
firearm that can be checked
is up to each airline and it
is the responsibility of each
passenger to determine if
they are in compliance with
the firearm laws of their
destination state.
Beyond firearms, the
TSAalso has issues with other
weapons being brought to the
checkpoint, such as knives,
brass knuckles and pepper
spray. Bush TSA Supervisor

Romero

Preparations
are
nearing
completion for the 20th
annual Holiday Marketplace that should
make this traditional shopping event at the
Humble Civic Center, 8233 Will Clayton
Parkway, outshine those of past years.
“There’s going to be a great variety
of merchandise at this fall event that
will be a feast for the eyes. It’s not
going to be the same old stuff.
There will be a lot of unique items
not found at the local malls. A third
of the more than 100 booths will be
new,” said Paula Beste, speaking for
the Kingwood Women’s Club, the
nonprofit organization sponsoring
the event, which has raised more
than $1 million for Lake Houston area
charities. Karen Fisher, another club
member, agreed.
“It’s the place to go to find that special
gift for that challenging person on your
Christmas list,” said Fisher.
Tickets are now available at Alspaugh’s Ace
Hardware and Dragonfly Boutique, both located on
W. Lake
Houston Parkway, as well as online at kingwoodwomensclub.org.
Items at this shopping extravaganza are coming from all across
Texas, from Fredericksburg to Austin, and as far away as Oklahoma.
Shoppers can peruse a wide array of women’s boutique fashion,
jewelry and purses. As an example of some of the merchandise,
Fisher cites purses and jewelry crafted from cork that were
imported from Europe as well as another booth featuring estate
jewelry decorated with gems. Home decor and accessories are
also on display. They range from handmade pottery and pewter
serving ware to floral arrangements and antiques.
“There is something for everyone,” said Fisher.
Other items for sale will be handmade wooden pens and
helmets and T-shirts autographed by star Houston athletes. Plenty
of goodies for kids can also be found, such as specialty clothing
and unique toys such as Russian nesting dolls or handmade outfits
sized to fit the popular American Girl doll. Festive items will
also be available for decorating for Christmas and Thanksgiving,
as well as specialty food items such as pecan fudge.
The Preview Party will be held Oct. 24 from 6-9 p.m. and
will give attendees the first preview of all items for sale as
well as complimentary wine and appetizers. Tickets are $25.
A highlight of the preview evening will be the silent auction,
where bids are made on luxury vacation getaways to Aruba,
Cancun and Colorado, as well as things such as a catered tamale
dinner and tequila tasting for a party for 20.
Proceeds from the preview evening support Project
Mammogram, which was started 15 years ago with a donation
from the Kingwood Women’s Club and is now handled through
the Northeast Hospital Foundation. This service provides
mammogram screenings and diagnostic services for a number of
women who would not otherwise be able to afford it.
The main shopping event occurs the next day, Oct. 25, from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The entry fee is $8 in advance or $10 at the door.
Those wishing to enjoy a catered lunch by Carrabba’s Italian Grill
that day must purchase an advance $25 ticket that covers the meal
and entry to the show.
Raffles are held on both days of the event involving
dozens of prizes, such as a silver and diamond bracelet
designed by John Hardy, several electronic items, a 20bottle wine cooler and golf package. The winners are
decided on Tuesday at closing.
Besides Project Mammogram, the marketplace
annually generates additional funds for other local
charities.
“Going shopping at the marketplace is a
great way for Lake Houston area residents
to have fun and give back to their
community,” said Fisher.

Mourvedre/
Monastrell
a blending grape, in France it
is arguably most famous for
its participation with Grenache
and Syrah in the famous
wines of Châteauneuf-duPape. Outside France,
these Rhone-style blends
are sometimes known
as GSMs (for Grenache,
Syrah, Mourvedre). Owen
Roe’s Sinister Hand is a
GSM from the Columbia
Valley in Washington
State. Carchelo from
Spain is a GSM-style
wine with a difference;
instead of Grenache,
Tempranillo and a bit of
Cabernet are blended with
Monastrell and Syrah.
The result is a wine a bit
more intense and a bit less
acidic than a traditional
GSM. Occasionally you
will find Mourvedre/
Monastrell as a varietal
wine, such as the Hecula
from Spain. Here you will
find blackberry fruit, good
acidity and a lingering
finish for which this
variety is known. These
are all food wines that will
complement grilled, fried,
baked or roasted meats
with mustard, peppercorn,
savory and tomato sauces.
Mourvedre [mo-vad-rah]
is a little-known grape with
a long history in France and
Spain (in Spain the grape is
called Monastrell). Popular as

The Village Learning Center prepares for annual gala
An
extraordinary
evening awaits the attendees
of the Village Learning
Center’s 12th Annual
Charity
Gala
“Going
Gatsby with the Village,”
scheduled for Saturday,
Nov. 12, at the Doubletree
Greenway Plaza Hotel. This
spectacular event promises
to be a fun night of dinner,
auctions, and dancing to
the music of the crowdpleasing “Grady Gains and
the Texas Upsetters.” Tim
Tuttle and Erica Rico of
93Q Radio Houston will
serve as the emcees for the
evening.
Scott
Pignolet,
benefactor of The Village,
will be the honoree for
this year’s gala. Pignolet
has been a part of The
Village since its inception
in September 2000. He has
played an integral role over
the past 16 years, especially
during the formative years,
and later as board chair and
governance chair. Pignolet
has volunteered much of
his time and talents and
The Village is grateful for
all that he has contributed.
The Village wishes to honor
him with induction into the
Founder’s Circle.
“Our heartfelt thanks
go out to our friends in
the community who have
committed to sponsorships
or have already donated
auction items for this year’s
gala. It is because of our
supporters that we will have
continued success,” said
Kelly Paull. “But do not
think you have missed your
chance. We are still seeking
additional sponsors as well
as items for our auctions.”
Sponsorships are still
available at the $1,500,
$3,000, $5,000, $7,500
and
$10,000
levels.
Individual
reservations
are also available for
$175 per person.To make
a reservation or become
Re-Elect
a sponsor, please contact
Paull at 281-358-6172
or

FamilyTime purchases
much-needed box truck
Judge
151st
district Court
FamilyTime board members and staff are pleased with
the new truck.
Earlier
this
year,
FamilyTime
held
a
fundraising
gala
and
included a paddle call
portion to specifically raise
funds for the purchase of a
box truck for transportation
purposes, like moving
clients,
picking
up
donations and delivering
items. The activity was a
huge success and raised
more than $40,000, most of
which was used toward the
purchase of the vehicle.
Working with Bob
Mullings, the president
of Texas Cool Rides, the
organization was able to
locate a 2011 Chevy Express
Van 3500 with a lift gate
and only 68,000 miles on
the engine. The truck was
taken to Beckwith’s Car
Care for inspection, where
a few small issues were
found. After the purchase,
the truck was sent back to
Beckwith’s to be repaired at
no cost to
FamilyTime.
The
service center owner, Lynn
Beckwith, is a former
Woman of Achievement
and was honored to donate
the service to FamilyTime.
“FamilyTime is always
there when needed, helping
those who need it the most.
We are so fortunate to have
this organization in our
community and are quite
honored to be able to help
out. Our support does not
end with the recent work;
we will be here to take
care of the truck as long
as needed,” Beckwith said.
The truck is now officially
in service and is being used
to pick up items the thrift
shop previously would
have declined. It is also
being used to transport
items and belongings of
their clients. In order to
schedule a pick up of items,
contact the FamilyTime
Crisis and Counseling
Center and include a
description of the items,
location, available dates
and times for pick up and
contact information.

Mercer Botanic Gardens director, with a $10,000 donation. On the right is Linda Odell, KGC president.
In August of this year,
the Kingwood Garden Club
donated $10,000 to Mercer
Botanic Gardens in Humble.
Mercer Botanic Gardens
has suffered significant
damage to land, hardscape
and plantings during the
historic floods this year.
Mercer volunteers and other
organizations are trying
hard to get the gardens back
into shape. The Kingwood
Garden Club’s successful
financial year of 2015-2016
allowed a generous donation
of $10,000 as a result of the
club members’ hard work on
many community projects.
Apart from Kingwood
Garden Club’s donation,
an additional $30,000 was
added by a matched donation
and
two
anonymous
donations, making a total of
$40,000.
This money will be
used to purchase a 10-acre
tract of land which is higher
and drier and will give more
protection to the gardens
and buildings. Mercer
Botanic Gardens has been
in existence for the past 43
years and has experienced
many floods in that time.
Many of the Kingwood
Garden Club members
are volunteers at Mercer,
and others have learned
much by attending their
horticulture classes.
It has certainly been an
honor for the garden club
members to be associated
with
this
wonderful
facility.

Bulldogs remain undefeated
Eagles fall to North

showdown
The Atascocita Eagles football team lost to North
Shore Friday night at Turner Stadium.

The Tribune
The Summer Creek
Bulldogs varsity football team
remained perfect Friday night
with a 49-6 rout of C.E. King
at Crenshaw Stadium.
The Bulldogs extended
their overall record to 5-0 on
the season and 3-0 in District
21-6A.
Senior running back
Myles Wanza rushed for 210
yards on 14 attempts, scoring
five of Summer Creek’s seven
touchdowns in the game.

Rashad Holt added to the

John Holcombe in the third
quarter.
In the fourth quarter,
Trey Johnson added a 3yard running touchdown for
Summer Creek’s final score.
Kicker

Bulldogs.
Next up, Summer Creek
faces district rival Atascocita
on Friday, Oct. 14, at 7 p.m. The
Eagles are 2-1 in the district
behind undefeated Summer
Creek and NorthShore.
In a much anticipated matchup between two 216A powers, a defending state champion, the Galena
Park North Shore Mustangs, displayed every bit of
its state championship pedigree against the Atascocita
Eagles last Friday night at Turner Stadium.
The Mustangs jumped to an early lead, and
while the Eagles rallied to try and make it a game, the
Mustangs pulled away in the second half for a 31-21
win.
The Mustangs got off to a quick start; their second
drive of the game was an 11-play drive capped by a
Bryant Badie one-yard touchdown run.
Two drives later, North Shore was in the end zone
again on a touchdown pass from Badie to Eltroy Potts
to make it 14-0.
The Eagles answered though and made it close
for much of the game; a two-yard touchdown run by
Decarlos Demmerritte made it 14-7.
After the score was 17-7 at the break, the Eagles
cut into the lead once more late in the third as a Justen
Campbell interception set up a 16-yard touchdown
pass from Daveon Boyd to Aleric Soularie. This cut
the lead to 17-14.
North Shore, however, was quick to answer as it
put together a 90-yard drive on the next possession,
capped by a Badie 5-yard touchdown run and the
Mustangs would never lead by less than 10 again.
The teams traded touchdowns in the final minute
of the game, including a last second Hail Mary
touchdown pass to Griffin Hammond of Atascocita
which made the final score 31-21.
It is the Eagles first loss of the season as Atascocita
drops to 4-1; North Shore improved to 5-1 but remains
undefeated in district as their one loss was outside 216A against Manvel.
Atascocita returns to the field next week against
undefeated Summer Creek; the Bulldogs come in 5-0
and 3-0 in district play after beating C.E. King 49-6 on
the road last week.

Dawson Trudell threw
for 147 yards and a
touchdown while both
Eric Hammersmith and
Grant Taylor rushed for
more than 100 yards each
as the Mustangs rolled to a
35-16 halftime lead before
adding three third-quarter
scores to win going away.
Hammersmith rushed
14 times for 155 yards.
He added a team-high
52 receiving yards while
Taylor carried six times for
135 yards, including a 50yard burst. He also tacked
on 46 receiving yards.
The Mustangs spotted
Channelview a 7-0 lead
early
before
getting
started.
Hammersmith
tied the game 12 seconds
later, racing 63 yards for
a touchdown. Charlie
Sheppard connected on
all eight extra-point kick
attempts.
Channelview regained
the lead just over a minute
later with a field goal to
take a 10-7 advantage.
But Kingwood took the
lead for good late in the
first quarter on a 4-yard
touchdown run from Aaron
Finch. It was the first of
three short touchdown
bursts by Finch.
Kingwood’s
Matt
Bailey scored a defensive
touchdown,
returning
an interception 26 yards
to extend the Mustangs’
lead to 21-10. Bailey also
closed the scoring late in
the third quarter on a 7yard touchdown pass from
Trudell.
Finch
scored
his
second touchdown of the
game late in the second
quarter on a 4-yard run and
Robert Ameronto added
a 36-yard touchdown run
before halftime to extend
the lead to 35-10.
Finch got the Mustangs
on the scoreboard again to
start the third quarter with
a 3-yard run and Nolan
Powell found the end zone
after an 18-yard dash.
The Mustangs have
a tall task in front of
them. They travel to face
defending state champions

BEASLEY TIRE KINGWOOD
What it is: The
Cruze is Chevy’s allnew-for-2016
compact
sedan. The new iteration
is significantly changed
and improved over the
previous model, which was
extremely welcome. The
new Cruze has updated
styling and now has a longer
length and wheelbase. The
biggest upside to me is that
there are so many standard
features now. Every single
Cruze comes with a 7-inch
LCD infotainment system
that features both Apple
CarPlay and Android
Auto compatibility. When
you plug your phone into
the car via USB, you can
control most features via
the infotainment system,
and it is fantastic. Other
standard features include
power
windows/locks,
and OnStar with Wi-Fi
hotspot connectivity (for
an additional fee).
Every Cruze also comes
with the same, punchy,
1.4-liter, turbocharged, 4cylinder that produces 153
horsepower and 177 lb-ft
of torque. Both 6-speed
manual and automatic
transmissions
are
available, but not on every
trim. My test model was
the top of the line “Premier
Automatic,” although the
Premier trim is not offered
with a manual. The Premier
trim is a $4,000 price
premium over the cheapest
automatic (LS trim) and
provides lots of niceties
like a leather-wrapped,
heated steering wheel,
leather seats, heated seats,
17-inch aluminum wheels,
keyless entry, remote
vehicle start, 6-speaker
stereo system and more.
On top of the base
features, I had the
optional Sun and Sound
package ($1,995) RS
package ($995), Enhanced
Convenience
Package
($865), Driver Confidence
Package
($790)
and
special
kinetic
blue
metallic paint ($395). Sun
and Sound gives you 9speaker Bose stereo, 8-inch
navigation infotainment,
and enhanced driver info
center. It’s worth it only if
you need navigation (and
you don’t with Android/
Apple
compatibility).
The RS package is purely
appearance and gives
you 18-inch wheels, rear
spoiler and front fog
lamps. RS is worth it
to me. The Enhanced
Convenience
Package adds a
110-volt outlet,
rear heated seats,
automatic
air
conditioning,
and express up
and down driver
window.
Not
worth the $865
to me. The Driver
Confidence
Package
adds automatic headlights,
rear park assist, forward
collision alert and lane
departure warning. I love
that all of those safety
features are only $790.
The driving experience
is good, but not great.
You can’t hide that it
is an economy-focused
compact car. However, it
is immeasurably improved
over the outgoing Cruze.
I
wasn’t
particularly
impressed with the build
quality of the Cruze, but
again, a huge improvement
and it is competitive
within the segment. The
interior was comfortable,
but I definitely heard some
squeaks while driving. The
engine is great, and the fuel
economy at 40 highway is
stellar. As an owner of a
turbocharged, small
4-cylinder car,
I will warn
you that

there is no way you see
anything near 40 if you
are doing the 70-75 mph
commute that everyone
else does in Houston. I
think I averaged closer to
34 highway.
Price: $17,485 base
price. $23,995 base price
for premier automatic.
$29,035 as-tested.
Fuel Economy:
30 city/40 highway/34
combined
Upsides: Impressive
all-around performance,
quality, and fuel economy.
Downsides:
Questionable future resale
value.
Wrap-up: I wrestle
in my mind with cars like
the fully loaded Cruze. It is
a very good car, but I would
have to be crazy to spend
nearly $30,000 on a Chevy
Cruze. I struggled with
this in my Hyundai Elantra
review, a
direct competitor to the
Cruze, and I think the
conclusion is the same:
the world does not need a
$30,000 Chevy Cruze. You
can get a larger Malibu
with several options for
thousands less than the
Cruze. There are tons of
features on this Cruze, but
we’re talking about $5,000
on top of the top-of-theline trim to get here. I
think there is a sweet spot
to buying a Cruze, and I
would buy an LT trim with
the RS package which
gives you a great
car for only
$23,085.
