Ongoing construction work to replace water
lines in the city of Houston limits has many area
residents upset, as the repairs are taking months
to complete and causing extensive damage to
personal property.
“As they are putting in the new pipes, they are
breaking curbs, driveways and sidewalks,” said
Richard Berlitz, who lives in the 11900 block of
Kirkway. “Much of the time the damage is not
required by the construction process but by carelessness or disregard for property.”
The Leader has also received multiple complaints from residents about cracked foundations, split woodwork and cut telephone lines
and sprinkler systems.

Leader thanks James
The Leader would like to thank reader
Robert James for providing the paper with
additional information on one of its cutlines
from the Oct. 17 edition.
The caption to the photo of a flooded Moore
Elementary that ran on Page 1A originally
stated that the rain gauge at the A120 Beamer
ditch at Hughes Road recorded 3.32 inches of
rainfall during one 12-hour period on Saturday, Oct. 12.
As James pointed out, however, the vast
majority of that (3.24 inches) was received in
just one hour (between 2 and 3 p.m.).
structural damage to much of the building.
When the resident complained to the contractor about the damage, he reportedly told her it
was not their fault nor their responsibility to
make any necessary repairs. It wasn’t until after the resident produced hundreds of photos and
videos of work crews on her driveway that the
company agreed to repair the damage.
A second concern of the resident involved a
hole that had been dug where her sidewalk used
to be. The hole posed a safety hazard, as it was
several feet deep and not marked off in any way.
The resident was worried someone might fall
into it and get injured, leaving her responsible
since the accident occurred on her property. The
hole has since been filled with sand and marked
off with reflective netting.
Work crews cause headaches
Contractors replacing water lines for the City of Houston have caused major headaches
for many residents, as the work has gone on for months and caused extensive damage to
personal property. The tractor above reportedly caused the driveway and foundation to
crack on a home in the 9800 block of Kirkfalls, where construction began back in July.

Oct. 15, to discuss the matter, and they assured
him that all of his complaints would be rectified.
This, however, did little to put his mind at ease.
“I’m not very encouraged,” Berlitz said.
Company representatives told Berlitz that
photos of each property were taken before construction began when crews were distributing
door hangers. Berlitz, however, said at least nine
homes on his block never received a door hanger.
A second resident, who lives in the 9800 block
of Kirkfalls, complained that a tractor working
on her driveway caused extensive cracking not
only on her driveway but on the foundation to her
detached garage as well.
The cracked foundation caused one side of her
garage to sag downward, which in turn caused

MUD tax rates set to increase
Maintenance costs associated with recent historical droughts have forced two local municipal
utility districts to raise their tax rates.
Both the Kirkmont Municipal Utility District
and the Sagemeadow Municipal Utility District
will be affected by the changes.
Kirkmont MUD rates increased from $0.55
per $100 of value to $0.57 per $100 of value, and
Sagemeadow MUD rates increased from $0.49
per $100 of value to $0.52 per $100 of value.
Both MUDs have had to make extensive repairs this last year due to water line breaks resulting from the lack of rainfall.
The Clear Brook City Municipal Utility District’s tax rate will go unchanged, remaining at
$0.67 per $100 of value.
A public meeting to discuss proposals of Harris County Improvement District No. 9 (Hobby
area) will take place Thursday, Oct. 24, at the
Hobby Airport DoubleTree Hilton, 8181 Airport
Blvd., at 6:30 p.m.
Harris County Improvement District No. 9
was created in 2007 to promote, develop, encourage, and maintain employment, commerce,
transportation, housing, tourism, recreation,
the arts, entertainment, economic development,
safety and the public welfare in the area of the
district.
The district has proposed that assessments for
services and improvements be levied over a 10year period. Funds received from this assessment
will be used to provide services and improvements for security and public safety; business
development services; transportation planning
improvements; visual improvements and cultural
promotion; and project staffing and administration.
The first assessment would be levied in 2013
for services to commence in 2014.
The cost of the services to be provided is estimated to average roughly $1.4 million annually
and be around $14 million over a 10-year period.
Funding for projects would come from assessments levied on commercial property owners
within the district’s boundaries. The assessment
for each year of the 10-year plan will be $0.15
for each $100 of value based on the taxable property value as certified by the Harris County Appraisal District.
The proposal has upset many business owners
in the community.
“In the other areas of Houston that have tried
this, business owners are very unhappy,” said
local business owner Randy Pennington, who
owns nine properties in the district. “The assessments are incredibly expensive, and they’re not
getting any of the services that were promised.
We already pay excessive taxes. This would be
just adding on another layer without receiving
any of the benefits.”

Elected officials share their words
Reasons to keep the Astrodome
By Jon Lindsay, County Judge from 1975 to1995
On Nov. 5 there will a
bond referendum where
we can show the Harris
County Commissioners
Court we want to keep the
Dome.
The referendum will
provide authority for the
Court to spend 217 million
dollars on the Dome. The
court may choose to do
this without a tax increase
since the county is in great
financial shape.
It maintains a AAA
bond rating, a rarity among
any local government.
However if they chose to
Increase the tax rate to
fund the project, it would
cost the tax payer that
owns a home worth two
hundred thousand dollars
eight dollars a year.
A bargain better than a
Big Mac.
For that eight dollars we
get a venue that has
350,000 square feet of column-free space with a 175
foot ceiling. Nashville,
Tenn., is building a building with 350,000 square
feet of floor space at a cost
of 623 million dollars,
almost three times what
ours will cost, and theirs
will have multiple columns
with only a 32 foot ceiling.
Probably every major
city that wants a major
activity center wishes they
had what we already have
for a start.
We will have a street
level building that can
house virtually any kind of
activity.
This special activities
building can house many
of the events that other
local venues are unable to
accommodate, because of
size or because of scheduling conflicts.
In the past, the
Astrodome was used for
concerts (Elvis Presley,
Michael Jackson and others), national political conventions, and sports
events like tennis and basketball. It could be used
this way again.
The rodeo could put the
carnival rides inside.
These special events
and others could use the
building without causing a
disruption at other local
venues.
The Offshore Tech-
nology Conference has
already said they would
take the whole building
during their conference.
The 2017 Superdome
party could be the grandest ever. All these activities
that would use the Dome
would pay their fair share
for the use of the Dome.
In addition, such a
splendid facility will generate added economic activity throughout our county
– for hotels, restaurants,
rental cars, shopping, various suppliers, and more.
When I moved here in
1962 the Dome was nothing but a big hole in the
ground. By 1964 it had
grown into the eighth wonder of the world. The
Johnson Space Center
and the Astrodome put
Houston on the international map.
The Johnson Space
Center has been down
sized. The Astrodome sits
in the middle of a big parking lot with no debt on it. It
will soon be 50 years old.
It’s time to put the Dome
back in the spotlight with a
major renovation.
In My Opinion
Muecke says, show
up, be involved
A Honor well deserved
I read in the South Belt Leader that Marie Flickinger received a very well earned
and prestigious award, the 2013 national M. Dale Ensign Trustee Leadership
award.
Your leadership and involvement with
San Jacinto college has helped this educational institution to grow and expand
beyond what was envisioned 50 years
ago.
So many young people started their
advanced educational schooling at this
college and then moved on to advance
in their career fields. Congratulations on
this achievement.
This is just one of many achievements
for you. You and your paper, the Southbelt Leader, have helped the community
in so may ways. No use to even try and
name them. What I would like to ask the
community is to learn from you. We have
so many issues that are facing out nation
today. These issues can be resolved if all
of you would just step up and voice your
opinion. On Monday night Oct. 7, District
E Councilman Dave Martin held a town
hall meeting at the U of H campus in Clear
Lake. A small crowd. Where were you?
District D also holds town Hall meetings
for those of you that live in that district.
On Saturday Oct 12 Mayor Annise Parker
was at the library in Clear Lake. All of you
were invited to come speak to her about
your concerns, face to face. She made
the offer to come to you but you failed to
show up. Oct. 15 the local PIP (Positive
Interaction program) sponsored by the
Houston Police Dept held their monthly
meeting at Memorial Herman Southeast
A nice crowd, but where were you. The
Leader welcomes and prints the opinions that you send in. Take advantage of
this. Your opinion may just help someone
make a better decision on an issue.
These are all avenues for you to ask
question, speak out or come and learn.
You failed yourself by not showing up
and/or getting involved.. Learn from Ms
Flickinger, get involved and speak up.
You may make the difference to make
positive changes.

Texas suffering from worst historical drought
By State Rep. Garnett Coleman
Texas is suffering from the worst
drought in its history. We don’t know
when it will end, but we do know that we
are not well-equipped to handle it. Fortunately, Texas voters will have the opportunity this November to change that.
By voting yes to Proposition 6, we will
ensure that Texas’ water needs are met
for the next 50 years.
What’s more, the success of Proposition 6 will largely depend on Houston
voters, as they will comprise over 30%
of the electorate.
So what is Proposition 6 exactly? If
approved, Proposition 6 would allow $2
billion out of the state’s “Rainy Day fund”
to be used as seed money to help fund
water infrastructure projects over the
next half-century.
Examples of these projects include
the creation of new reservoirs, fixing
leaky pipes (up to 50% of water is lost
in some areas), and developing more
efficient ways to transfer water among
communities. If Proposition 6 is not approved, then the state’s water plan will
continue to go unfunded.
$2 billion dollars may sound like a lot
of money, but it dwarfs in comparison to
the costs of the current drought. Already,
the drought has cost Texas nearly $8 billion in agricultural losses.
If nothing is done, the drought could
cost Texas over $118 billion as well as
over a million Texas jobs over the next
50 years.
We are in dangerous territory, and
Proposition 6 goes a long way toward
addressing the state’s needs.
Approving Proposition 6 is the fiscally
responsible choice.
The Rainy Day fund is financed largely by taxes on oil and gas production,
and the recent energy boom has ensured a healthy Rainy Day fund for the
foreseeable future. In fact, conservative estimates project that the fund will
receive an average of $3 billion a year,
meaning it will hit its constitutional cap
in just a few years. The need is real, and
we have the money to address it. All that
is left now is for Texas voters to approve.
I urge everyone to vote for Proposition 6
this November.
District E Council Member Dave Martin
corresponds with district residents
Residents of District E,
As I write the October newsletter, I
can’t help but think of how quickly the
last ten months have flown by. In reflecting back to January 2013, I think of the
many things we, as a District E community have accomplished.
In January, I was appointed to Budget
and Fiscal Affairs (BFA); Ethics Council
Governance; Transportation, Technology
& Infrastructure committees and Health
Benefits subcommittee by Mayor Parker.
I was active in communicating and working with the Mayor’s Administration,
the BFA committee, and the Finance
Department during the Fiscal Year 2014
budget process where the Mayor and
City Council passed a $4.5 billion operating budget. Currently, my office is working with the Department of Public Works
and Engineering to reassign Houston
Permitting Center employees to be
officed in Clear Lake to provide a more
accessible place for nearby residents to
obtain city permits.
Lastly, we were successful in allocating a one time grant to Space Center
Houston to help fund the 747/Shuttle
Endeavor for the conversion of creating a
state of the art educational facility.
Separate from the budget, there have
been many improvements in both sectors of District E some of which include
the installation of a dedicated left turn
lane and future design plans to construct
a dedicated right turn lane on North Park
Drive near Woodbridge Parkway to help
mitigate traffic; South Shaver Road
reconstruction; improvements to Frey
Road in southeast Houston and improvements to Farley Road at Ellington Airport.
Currently, I am working with the Bay Area
Houston Economic Partnership and Dr.
Bill Merrell from Texas A&M regarding a
coastal storm surge protection system
known as the Ike Dike.
Lastly, I am working closely with the
Lake Houston TIRZ #10 and the City of
Houston as we acquired a 2.5 acre tract
of land west of Highway 59 for a future
public safety site.
I am proud of the work the District E
community has accomplished in just a
short ten months and I am honored that
you the residents of this district have
made the decision to keep me seated as
your city representative for another two
years.
I was extremely grateful to not draw an
opponent; however, my name will still
appear on the ballot. I assure you that my
office will continue to work with you and
for you as we fight for what’s right here at
City Hall. I do want to remind you that
every single Council Member, as well as
the Mayor and City Controller will be on
the November ballot. Don’t forget you
can vote for all five At-Large Council
Members. It is our right as Americans to
vote in all elections and it’s important to
make our voices heard.
I encourage you to learn about each
of the candidates and vote for who you
think will best serve you and the interests
of the City. It’s important voters are
knowledgeable and elect representatives
that are focused, committed and dedicated to serving the citizens of Houston.
For information purposes only:
First Day of Early Voting: Monday,
October 21, 2013
Last Day of Early Voting: Friday,
November 1, 2013
Election Day: November 5, 2013
Once again, I want to thank you for the
opportunity to serve you at City Hall. I’ve
been blessed to have gotten to know
many residents of the district and I continue to be amazed at what great community leaders live in District E.
I look forward to another two years of
working with you for the betterment of
our district and this great city in which we
live.

County collecting old cell phones
to benefit domestic violence victims
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has partnered
with Houston area Crime
Stoppers to collect used cell
phones and accessories
during Domestic Violence
Awareness Month.
The used cell phones and
accessories will be recycled.
Proceeds from the recycling
will be used to purchase prepaid phones for victims of
domestic violence.
“Sometimes a single
phone call for help is all it
takes to save someone from
an abusive relationship. And
we want victims of domestic
violence to report their abusers,” said Sheriff Adrian
Garcia.
Used and unwanted cell
phones and accessories can
be dropped off at the following HCSO locations through
the end of October:

Annual fishing fest fun for all involved
By David Matthews, staff of
Commissioner El Franco Lee
Each year the staff at Moore Elementary decorates pumpkins that depict
characters or scenes from children’s books. Staff members take the pumpkins to the Texas Children’s Hospital, along with the books and read them to
young patients. The pumpkins and books will be given to the hospital for all
to enjoy. Sheryl Munn, music teacher, decorates several pumpkins each year
and heads up the project. Shown above are: Dillon Steve, Kevin Do, Johan
Delapaz, and Kristin Do. In bottom photo are: Ella Sifuentes, Munn, and
Kailey Tsikis. (See related photo Page 1A.)

The Fall Kids Fish Fest
event has been taking place
for 19 years in Harris County Precinct 1. This year was
no different. The event began
with a handful of children in
the mid 1990s as part of the
Environmental Education Program at the Challenger Seven
Learning Center inside Challenger Seven Memorial Park.
(See related photo Page 1A)
The annual event, hosted
by Precinct 1 Commissioner
El Franco Lee and the America’s Promise Alliance grant,
allows children to experience
a great outdoor activity, like
fishing, with many who participated having been their
first time ever.
Lee makes this outdoor
fishing event an opportunity
to give an “outdoor life experience” children will always
remember, while incorporating aquatic science into the
event format through the partnership with the Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department’s
Education Program.
Children learn about fish
life and habitats while learning the differences in salt
versus fresh water aquatic
life and how important it is to
protect aquatic fish and their
habitats. The children, accompanied by an adult volunteer,
tour the TPWD Aquatic Fish
Habitat Kiosk Trailer and answer a short multiple choice
questionnaire which they turn
in at the end of the tour.
Each child receives a raffle
ticket upon turning in his or
her questionnaire. The raffle
ticket is used at the end of the
event where 30 new donated rods and reels are raffled
off to the children. Once the
children have completed the
kiosk tour, they are assigned a
high school student volunteer
to accompany them for the remainder of the event.
At this year’s event, two
high schools participated in
the Harris County Precinct
1 Environmental Education
High School Service Learning Program. There were 27
students from J. Frank Dobie
High School Aquatic Science
Program with science/herpetology teacher John Kneisler
and eight students from Jesse Jones High School STEM
Bio-Technology
Program
with magnet teacher Imgard
Willcockson. Each high
school service learning student is responsible for assisting children under his or her
supervision during the event
through leadership and mentoring.
For their participation in
the service learning program,
Lee provides each high school
student with an official letter
of commendation for community volunteerism and mentorship that can be placed in his
or her college portfolios. The
children go through fishing
training before receiving their
rods and reels and bait.
The 3.5 acre lake at Challenger is stocked a week
in advance with 400 3- to
5-pound channel catfish, 500
1- to 3-pound channel catfish,
and 601 3-pound large mouth
bass for the event. TPWD
game wardens are on hand to
assist children and to answer
any questions they may have
regarding fishing in Texas waters.
Greg Akins TPWD aquatic
education specialist stated that
he enjoys participating in this
event, as it teaches children
about how conservation and
protection is important as it
relates to the aquatic fish life
which eventually end up in
the food they eat. This event
allows children to experience
fishing, in many cases for the
first time, and the fish they
catch are then prepared and
bagged in ice for the children to take home completing
the food web they have been
taught in school. In many fishing events, the education component is left out, but not with
this event. That is why schools
line up to participate.
On Saturday, Oct. 19, the
event was attended by 215
children invited from various
precinct and City of Houston
recreation centers and schools
along with 97 volunteers and
21 chaperones.
It takes a large number
of volunteers to ensure the
safety of the children participating as well as to support
the infrastructure of the event
from fish cleaning to rod and
reel repair. Volunteers came
from all over. In many cases
high school students hearing
about the volunteer opportunity either by word of mouth
or from other teachers came
from as far away as Bellaire
High School to South Houston High School. Other organizations assisting at the event
were Harris County Precinct
2 Constable Chris Diaz and
members of his staff along
with members of the South
Belt-Ellington Chamber of
Commerce.

David Robinson
His Experience Makes the Difference
Making Your Neighborhood Safer
As a civic club president, David worked closely
with his neighbors and area police officers to
fight neighborhood crime such as car burglaries
and home break-ins. He knows the importance
of putting police on the streets, targeting hot
spots and communicating with residents.
Protecting Your Property Values
Serving on the City’s Planning Commission and
as the leader of the city-wide Super Neighborhood Alliance, David saw firsthand where and
what type of development was happening
across Houston. He saw the need to work with
communities to help them achieve their local
goals while protecting the individual owner’s
property values – Houston’s diverse neighborhoods cannot have one-size-fits-all regulations.
Ensuring Your Tax Dollars Are Not
Wasted
As an architect, David has managed large
projects – keeping them on schedule and under
budget. As your representative on City Council
he will keep a keen eye out for waste and
inefficiency. He will pose tough questions to
contractors and staff members, always trying
to get the best deal possible for Houston
taxpayers.

New York Times and Wall
Street Journal best-selling
author Wes Moore will visit
the San Jacinto College Central campus on Wednesday,
Oct. 30, for a special lecture
event. Moore’s best-selling
book, The Other Wes Moore:
One Name, Two Fates, illustrates the power of choices and
the lasting effects they leave.
Growing up in a single-parent
household in Baltimore, being
drawn toward trouble as a
young teenager, Moore’s
mother was ultimately forced
to enroll him in military school
– a single, determined choice
he believes changed the course
of his life.
At the same time, Moore
looks at a man who shares
almost an identical story,
whose name is also Wes
Moore. Both grew up in the
same neighborhood with the
same circumstances; however,
this “other Wes Moore” is now
serving a life sentence without
parole on murder charges.
Moore’s story addresses the
importance of support systems
such as family, mentors and
teachers and the impact they
have on one’s life.
“Having a mentor is having
a role model and friend in
one,” said Moore. “This person is not just an understanding set of ears, but someone
who challenges you and
someone with whom you
wonder and brainstorm. For
students, there is nothing more
powerful than finding the people who push you to think and
grow into the person you want
to become. For returning veterans, having a mentor is vital
to helping them realize the
versatility and power of their
talents, and importance their
past experiences bring to their
current journeys in forging
their own path with their own
goals.”
Moore graduated as a commissioned officer from Valley
Forge Military College in
1998 and earned a bachelor’s

With a 14-1 vote, Council Member Dave Martin and his Houston City
Council colleagues voted
to adopt a property tax rate
of $.63875 on each $100
of taxable value.
This rate keeps the tax
rate at the same level it has
been since 2009. The last
time the rate was lower
than it is currently was in
1994.
The city controller has
projected FY2014 property tax revenue (tax year
2013) totaling $967 million, a 6.3 percent increase
over FY2013.
During the FY2014
budget process last June,
Martin
proposed
an
amendment which would
prevent the city from using
any additional revenues
for operations and must
allocate all excess revenue
to an unassigned fund balance.
The projected surplus
from the tax revenue will
go toward reducing the
city’s long term obligations and debt during the
FY2015 budget.
The city budget contributed $69.1 million less in
FY2014 than the suggested actuarially determined
city contributions in its
three pension plans.
The projected operating
deficit for FY2015 is $81
million and for FY2016 is
The San Jacinto Museum
of History Association is in
the initial phase of an expansion plan that will revitalize
and reinvigorate the San
Jacinto Museum and the
park, to a degree not seen
since the monument was built
and opened in the late 1930s.
The centerpiece of the
plan is the construction of the
San Jacinto Museum of
History Association Annex
and Visitors Center, which is
planned to include an expansion of exhibition space, an
improved environment for
the permanent collection of
historical artifacts, additional
space to promote the study
and research of the region’s
history, and a visitor’s center
to convey an accurate interpretation of the significance
of the park.
After the museum association identified possible sites
adjacent to the park, they
began discussions with the
various owners of those properties. In October 2012, the
museum association acquired
1.6 acres.
Subsequently, the museum association negotiated the
purchase of an additional
11.5 acres adjacent to the
first property.
The museum board’s goal
now is to raise $700,000 to
complete the land acquisition, clear the properties, perform environmental evaluations, and begin developing
site plans in preparation for
future construction.
“Our vision may be
expanded or enhanced, but
our central goal remains
unchanged: to construct the
San Jacinto Museum of History Association Annex and
Visitors Center,” said Bob
Hixon, chairman of the museum association. “Acquiring
this property will effectively
let us control our destiny and
evaluate all options to create
the best facility for the benefit of the museum and the
park. Not only does this location give an unsurpassed
view of the 1836 battleground, but with roughly 13
acres, we will gain the space
needed to ensure our future
expansions.”
“We are pleased to
announce that John L. Nau
III, president and CEO of
Silver Eagle Distributors, just
confirmed that Silver Eagle
Distributors will be the presenting sponsor for the museum’s upcoming Special
Evening with Texas History
fundraiser on November 6
that benefits this land acquisition,” says Larry Spasic,
president of the San Jacinto
Museum of History. “As the
vice chairman of the National
Park Foundation Board and
chairman of the board for the
Nau Center for Texas Cultural
Heritage, John is truly a
champion of Texas history
and the role state parks play
in keeping Texas history and
culture alive.”
“I have a deep-rooted love
of Texas and its history, and
as a Houstonian, it’s especially important to me to support
and preserve our historical
landmarks like the San Jacinto Monument. The monument, its museum, and the
effective educational programs the museum has created are invaluable to our community, the region and the
state,” says Nau, who is also
a board member of the Texas
State History Museum Foundation and a member of the
Greater Houston Preservation
Alliance Advisory Board.
“Our support provides this
great institution with the
opportunity to grow and
expand its initiatives and will
keep this part of Texas history alive for future generations.”
A Special Evening with
Texas History fundraiser will
occur on Nov. 6 at the San
Jacinto Museum of His-tory.
The
H-E-B
Grocery
Company will be honored for
its role as the presenting
sponsor of the San Jacinto
Day Festival and Battle Reenactment every year since
2003. The event begins with
a cocktail reception; music
by the San Jacinto College
Chamber Orchestra; and
rides to the monument’s
Horst, Shah marry
$84 million.
“As a fiscally responsible Council, we must
prepare for the challenges
this unfunded liability and
deficit will present, now
and in the future,” said
Martin.
“We must run this city
with sound business principles and fiscal responsibility in our budget process,” Martin continued.
“As I authored, in the
form of an amendment to
the FY2014 budget, any
excess revenues we receive will not be spent, but
will be put into our fund
balance to handle future
liabilities and projected
budget deficit,” Martin
said.
Additionally, over the
next fiscal year, Martin
plans to play an instrumental role while working
with the mayor's administration, the Finance Department and the chair of
the Budget and Fiscal Affairs Committee to overhaul the city’s financial
policy.
Debt
management,
long term planning and reserves will be evaluated to
strengthen the city's financial health and to prepare
for challenges ahead.

“The San Jacinto Museum
of History is asking all who
care about Texas and its history to help us acquire this
critical piece of property,”
Hixon adds. “Each person’s
support will help make this
next major enhancement for
the park and the battleground

too small.”
The San Jacinto Museum
of History is operated by the
San Jacinto Museum of History Association – a nonprofit organization – in association with the Texas State
Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). The Museum
of History owns the collections of artifacts and documents inside of the monument and staffs the elevator

movie, library and exhibition
spaces.
The TPWD operates and
maintains the 1,200-acre San
Jacinto Battleground State
Historic Site, which consists
of the San Jacinto Battleground, Monument and

The San Jacinto Battlefield
and the Battleship Texas are
both National Historic
Landmarks; the monument is

Janna Horst and Sujan Shah were united in marriage on Friday, Oct. 4, 2013,
in a double-ring ceremony at the justice of the peace office on Scarsdale. The
bride is the daughter of Lance and Pam Horst of South Belt. She wore a simple, short and elegant ivory dress. She currently works at a Massage Envy as
a licensed massage therapist. Parents of the groom are Pradeep and Vandana
Shah, who reside in India. He works in the health care/business field in Chicago.
After the ceremony, the couple enjoyed an intimate dinner accompanied by their
4-month-old daughter at Kiran’s restaurant on Westheimer. Surprisingly, the
couple who dined behind them, also with a baby close to their daughter’s age,
paid their bill after discovering they were just married. They enjoyed one night
at Hotel Zaza and enjoyed a brief family outing, their daughter’s first trip to the
Houston Zoo. The couple are planning a larger ceremony with a reception and
more distant honeymoon location for the future. They will reside temporarily in
the Sagemont area with plans to live in Pearland.
SJC students display art at SCH

Jacinto College campuses to mentor art students and to present discussions about exploring
the business of art and how to begin a professional art career.
The Art of Space and Science exhibit will conclude on Nov. 6 with a reception from 2 to 3
p.m. in the Astronaut Gallery.

It would not have been
surprising to see a few rotten Halloween pumpkins
strewn across the entryway
of the Dobie High School
athletic facility – courtesy
of the Alvin varsity football
program of course.
For the second time in as
many seasons against Alvin, Dobie scored the eventual game-winning points
with less than a minute remaining to win.
The 2012 game was won
by Dobie, 20-17, with 35
seconds remaining on Chris
Saldivar’s 37-yard field
goal.
This
time
around,
Rashaad Randall blasted his
way into the end zone on a
1-yard plunge with 36 seconds left, giving the Longhorns a 24-20 victory.
Alvin’s merely hoping
Toni Muse Is At The TOP!!
that its latest loss, like the
one in 2012, doesn’t prove
costly in the race to the
playoffs.
As for Dobie, the Longhorns have all but secured a
playoff berth for the fourth
straight season, moving to
3-1 in District 22-5A play
with back-to-back games
coming against Pasadena
and Sam Rayburn.
At least on paper, South
Houston, Memorial and
Alvin are all deemed superior to Pasadena and Sam
Rayburn, Dobie’s next two
opponents. And the Longhorns already own victories
over those first three.
If
previous
history
comes into play at all, Dobie will travel to The Rig
in Pearland Nov. 8 with a nal standings.

Dobie defensive back Ryan Williams (14) comes down
with an interception late in the second quarter of the
Longhorns’ 24-20 victory over the Alvin Yellowjackets Oct. 17 at Pasadena ISD’s Veterans Stadium. Alvin
had burned the Longhorns for a long touchdown early
in the game, but Williams won this time against Alvin receiver Dustin Dukes. The Longhorns used a late
touchdown to down Alvin 24-20 in a big District 22-5A
contest. It was Williams’ second pickoff of the season.

Gators hand Brook FB third straight loss
A once promising season
has now become a bit frustrating for the Clear Brook
varsity football team.
After a 4-1 run through
the first half of the schedule
that included a 24-5A opening win over Clear Springs,
the Wolverines have fallen
on hard times.
Host Dickinson built a
28-6 lead in the game and
coasted to a 37-19 victory
Oct. 18 at Dickinson’s Sam
Vitanza Stadium.
Winless in District 245A action before the game,
Dickinson showed a glimmer of something special
against the Wolverines.
Krysten Hammon, one of
the top yet most unknown
running backs in the Houston area, rushed for 264
yards and three touchdowns
against Clear Brook.
Hammon, injured early
in the season, has bounced
back nicely since that time.
His touchdown runs covered 8, 60 and 65 yards in
the game.
Down 37-12 late in the
game, the Wolverines got a
40-yard touchdown gallop
from Stephen Rowe to close
the scoring with 51 seconds
left.
After starting league play
with a win over Springs,
Clear Brook has now lost
three straight.
Factoring in losses to
Clear Lake, Clear Falls and
Dickinson along the way,
the Wolverines essentially
sit last in the District 24-5A
field.
Lady Longhorns make playoffs; now 9-3

JFD tennis takes third at area tourney
A strong closing stretch
of play – 10 wins in 12
overall outings – simply
wasn’t quite enough in the
end as the Dobie varsity
tennis team missed out on a
chance to reach regionals.
Nonetheless, head coach
Manuel Moreno Jr. was
duly impressed after his
team ended the fall team
tennis season with a 10-4
victory over Pearland for
third place at the area championships.
Deer Park and Baytown
Sterling, the No. 1 and No.
2 seeded programs from
District 21-5A, earned Region III tournament berths
by reaching the final at
areas. Deer Park enters regionals as the top seed.
Dobie, which entered the
area championships as the
No. 2 seed from 22-5A, had
hoped for more.
The 2012 group won 16
total matches and made its
way to the final eight at regionals. But this time it just
wasn’t meant to be.
The gratifying moment
for the Longhorns, however, came in the third-place
match win over Pearland at
areas.
“I can’t be any prouder
of the way this team grew
up as the season moved
along,” Moreno said.
“We had a lot of inexperienced players entering the
season to begin with. Then
two girls quit, and we dealt
with injuries, too.
“It would have been easy
to give up on the season, but
our kids didn’t.”
Dobie and Pearland both
went 6-0 through the 22-5A
schedule before meeting for
the league title Oct. 1.
Pearland won the duel
10-8 that day to earn the
22-5A top seed at the area
meet.
While neither team had
what it took to advance to
regionals, the Longhorns
got the final say with the
10-4 victory at areas.
“Our kids felt like they

San Jacinto College/Pettitte golf event
A tradition now in its 18th year returns to the links on Monday and Tuesday,
Nov. 4 and 5, at the Battleground Golf Course in Deer Park, when the San Jacinto
College Foundation will host its annual golf tournament and reception with guest
host Andy Pettitte. Proceeds from the tournament and reception go directly to
the Promise for Their Future scholarship fund, which helps San Jacinto College
students attend college and gain the skills they need to further their education or
enter the workforce. Per the tournament and reception schedule, the reception
begins Nov. 4 at 6 p.m., and includes a live and a silent auction, with a light
dinner. There is no cost to attend the reception. Registration is now underway
for the tournament. The morning round tees off Nov. 5 at 7:15 a.m., and the
afternoon round hits the links at 12:45 p.m. Both rounds of golf include lunch.
The format is a Florida scramble consisting of four-person teams, regardless of
handicap. Two flights will be determined after all scores are submitted, and the
average score will be the break point. Pettitte, one of the best-ever pitchers for the
legendary New York Yankees, attended San Jacinto College in the early 1990s,
where he won eight of 10 decisions while pitching for the baseball program. For
more information about the 18th Annual San Jacinto College Foundation Golf
Tournament and reception or to sign up or become a sponsor, visit www.sanjacfoundation.org, or call 281-998-6104.

Coach proud as Dobie tennis closes team season strong
Continued from Page 1B
represented the better team
the first time around. But
you have to give Pearland
the credit it deserves. On
that day (a 10-8 Pearland
win), Pearland was the better team.
It’s certainly possible
that the regular season loss
ultimately prevented Dobie
from advancing to regionals. Had Dobie won the
22-5A crown, it would have
likely faced Baytown Sterling in the semifinals at the
area championships.
Given that Dobie defeated Sterling during the regular season, Moreno feels as
though his team would have
had a great shot at moving
forward.
But Moreno is a veteran
of the sport. He knows his
team had its chances.
“Team tennis is a ‘what
if?’ sport like many of the
others,” he said. “We just
didn’t play very well against
Pearland the first time.
“And while the chance
to go to regionals was gone,
we came back the second
time and proved that with
a 10-4 win. It was basically
the same two lineups going
head-to-head, and we came
out on top.”
Once again, Moreno
pointed to strong play in
doubles ahead of most else.
“We led the doubles
against Pearland 5-2 the program that has gone 30- that they are not just play- they did a lot this season to
second time, and it’s a lot 20 overall in the past two ing for themselves but for make a lot of Dobie people
easier to win five singles seasons, making him proud. their teammates and for proud. For me, I couldn’t be
“I always tell the kids their school. I really believe happier for the team.”
matches than six. It doesn’t
sound like much, but it is in
this sport.”
Moreno enjoyed seeing
senior Brian Williams close
the season strong with a win Note: Dobie finished third at the team tennis area championships with
at No. 3 singles, and he also the win over Pearland. The Longhorns won 10 of their final 12 matches
played well in a doubles to close out the season at 13-10.
win with partner Tony Ly in
the No. 2 boys’ doubles.
The coach also pointed Boys’ doubles
to Hai Ho’s big win in No. 1) John Le/Ruben Vargas (D) def. Justin Quintanilla/Ashiqur Rahman, 6-1, 6-1.
3 girls’ singles as well as a 2) Tony Ly/Brian Williams (D) def. Adam Elledge/Charles Maldonado, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2.

Beverly Hills football hammers Park View in sweep
Each of Beverly Hills Intermediate’s football teams
moved swiftly toward the
playoffs with wins in four
games over the Park View
Cowboys Oct. 14-15.
Bears 8A 35
Park View 0
The Bears’ eighth-grade
A team came out sluggish
and fought a defensive battle with Park View throughout the first half.
It was a half marked with
interceptions and fumbles
as the Bears were able to
score only once on a 35yard run by Jacob Garcia,
making the score 8-0 entering the second half.
An entirely different attitude took over for the Bears
in the second half as they
went on to win for the fifth
time in six overall games.
Touchdowns were scored
by Isaac Santos, Sedgerick
Romar, Victor Robles and
Dwayne Robinson.
The Bears stepped it up
defensively with interceptions by Robinson and Garcia.
Pedro Alba earned Defensive Player of the Game
honors by coming up and
stuffing the Cowboys’ running game multiple times.
Offensive Lineman of the
Game honors were awarded
to Miradello Ashford.
Bears 7A 40
Park View 0
Beverly Hills’ seventhgrade A team won its fifth
game in six tries, blanking
the Park View Cowboys 400.
The game was dominated by the Bears from the
opening kickoff as the offense scored early and often.
Touchdowns were scored
by Derreon Jackson, Chayse
Jones (two) and D’aubrion
Taulton (two).
Gerardo Benavides con-
tinued his excellent kicking,
adding three extra-point
conversions.
Offensive Lineman of the
Game was Eric Escobedo.
Defensively, the Bears were
led by Tydarrion Wright,
Javion Casteneda and Matthew Dobbs.
In the eighth-grade B
game, the Bears won 30-13
to move to 4-2 overall.
Beverly Hills’ seventhgrade B team stayed unbeaten in zone play with a
39-0 victory.
Together, the Bears’ four
teams are 17-6-1.

Randall’s last-minute TD lifts JFD over Alvin
Continued from Page 1B
play out, the Longhorns are
still likely to face unbeaten
North Shore the second
week of November in the
bidistrict playoffs for a third
straight season.
As for Dobie’s win over
Alvin, it was simply a tale
of two halves – until the final three minutes or so.
Dobie’s Darobie Stenline led his team to a 17-7
halftime lead with a pair of
touchdown runs.
Stenline’s first carry of
the game went for 69 yards
and a touchdown at the 8:14
mark of the first quarter.
Alvin briefly tied the
score at 7-7 on a 61-yard
pass and catch from quarterback Eric Olszewski to
Andrew Silguero, but the
rest of the half belonged to
the Horns.
Stenline first keyed a
14-play, 80-yard drive with
a 22-yard reception from
quarterback Joe Gonzalez
and then found the end zone
from 3 yards out with 10:55
remaining in the first half
for a 14-7 lead.
Saldivar’s 32-yard field
goal netted Dobie a 17-7
lead at halftime, and the
Longhorns seemed well on
their way to a win.
Not so fast.
Chris Washington lost
the handle on the opening
kickoff of the second half.
He recovered the ball, but
Dobie was also flagged for
an illegal block on the play,
resulting in a first-and-10
from the 1-yard line.
Four yards and a false
start penalty later, Alvin
found itself in possession
of the ball after a punt at the
JFD 25-yard line.
Olszewski ran for 9 yards
on first down but fumbled
two plays later. Fortunately
for Alvin, Payton Blanchette recovered the loose ball
at the Dobie 3-yard line.
On the next play, Carlos
Garcia found the end zone
as Alvin trailed 17-14. Dobie’s next drive stalled, and
Alvin’s Luis Garcia went on
to kick the game-tying field
goal with 9:12 left to play.
Holding Dobie once
more, the Yellowjackets
used a personal foul late hit
call against Dobie to position themselves for a 31yard field goal with 3:38
left. Luis Garcia made the
kick as Alvin seemed destined to pull off the win.
Yet then the wildness ensued.
Dobie converted a fourth-
and-1 play as Randall raced
for a 15-yard pick up. Two
plays later, Gonzalez found
Darius Simmons wide open
across the middle. The two
hooked up successfully on
what appeared to be a goahead, 37-yard touchdown
reception with 54 seconds
to play.
However, Simmons was
flagged for unsportsmanlike
conduct because of an early
celebration. He merely began to celebrate his score
before he reached the end
zone. That’s a no-no in high
school football.
Taking the score off the
board, officials penalized
Dobie 15 yards back from
the start of Simmons’ in-
fraction. In the end, Dobie
had a first down at the Alvin
19-yard line.
Not to be denied, Randall earned 12 hard-fought
yards on first down and then
ran for six more on second
down. His 1-yard touchdown was the game-winner
with 36 ticks on the clock.
Alvin advanced the ensuing kickoff to its own
28-yard line and gained 21
yards before the clock expired. Truthfully, Dobie had
escaped.
Note: Both punters, Dobie’s Josue Villalta and Luis
Garcia of Alvin, successfully converted fake punt
runs for first downs during
the game.
