By BARBARA FULENWIDERWhen a proposed tax rate is

less from one year to the next yet more money will be col-lected to fund a city, council members usually unanimously approve it.

At Missouri City’s Oct. 6 council meeting the vote was 6-1 with At-Large Councilman Chris Preston voting nay on all three motions to adopt.

Council voted to adopt the interest and sinking (I&S) tax rate of $0.177907 per $100 val-uation and that was approved 6-1. Last year’s I&S rate was $0.19337.

Then they voted to adopt the maintenance and operation (M&O) tax rate of $0.387093 and again the vote was 6-1. Last year the M&O rate was $0.38038.

The third vote to adopt the total tax rate of $0.565000 compared to the 2014 rate of $0.57375. The motion to ap-

prove resulted in the same 6-1 vote.

Property values increased by 7.19 percent, which means even though the tax rate de-creased, property owners will pay more. For instance, the owner of a house valued at $100,000 will pay $6.71 more in city taxes this year than last.

At the Oct. 6 meeting, At-Large Councilman Jerry Wyatt pointed out, “This tax rate is actually a reduction from our current tax rate. I think mem-bers of the budget committee try not to ask citizens for any more than we need. While there was a tax rate reduction taxes went up because values went up.

“The good part,” Wyatt said, “is our commercial contribu-tion from all the businesses – Lakeview Business Park, Ben E. Keith, etc., – have increased to 28 percent” of the total taxes the city collects.

“The fact is everybody in Missouri City will benefi t from this tax reduction.”

Wyatt noted that most of the warehouses in Missouri City are owned by the companies that occupy them. He said the city, county and water district all give tax abatements to vari-ous businesses, “which works to Missouri city’s benefi ts to continue to get those types of places coming in.”

Background information provided to council says the to-tal tax rate will yield approxi-mately $925,000 more in tax revenues for 2015 and provide for increased public safety.

The extra funds will buy the city a $625,00 fi re engine, a $96,075 public safety in-car camera program and $94,780 will fund a public safety au-dio recording system. Another $108,231 will buy a commu-nications program for fi rst re-sponder vehicles.

LACE UP AND BE THE DIFFERENCE. It’s time to put on and lace up those sneakers. The Hope for Three First Annual 5K Run and 3K walk will converge upon Cross Creek Ranch in Fulshear, Texas on October 18. The event will prelude the 2014 Scarecrow Festival.

Missouri City cuts tax rate on a 6-1 vote

By SESHADRI KUMARThe November general elec-

tion is upon us and early voting begins next Monday, Oct. 20. But, there is no election fever, at least in Fort Bend County. The campaign signs at some major road intersections are the only reminder that there is an election.

Of course, the school bond election is on the mind of some and their concern is not so much about politics as it is about over-crowded schools.

Statewide races like the gov-ernor and lieutenant governor, however, fi gure in television broadcasts and news reports.

While the Republican Party candidates at county level had some contested primaries and did some campaigning, Demo-crats did not even have much of a contested primary.

Campaign ads in print media are a rarity and some mailers are likely to arrive toward the last few days before the elec-tion.

Consequently, voters may know very little about the can-didates. Some names have not even been heard anytime be-fore and probably, will be seen for the fi rst time on the ballot. The incumbents have a slight advantage of name recognition.

The county election admin-istration and the school district have published election notices

elsewhere in this newspaper.Though the governor’s race

may be a factor to draw more voters to the polls, the voting is likely to be poor or lackluster as in the previous, non-presiden-tial elections.

The turnout was 45 percent in 2010, with Rick Perry and Bill White on top of the ballot.

This year, the heated race is between Greg Abbott (R) and Wendy Davis (D) for governor.

Also, running for governor are Kathie Glass, Libertarian and Brandon Parmer, Green Pat candidate.

The lieutenant governor’s race is also keenly watched be-cause of a Houston candidate, conservative State Senator Dan Patrick. He faces Sen. Leticia Van de Putte (D). Robert D. Butler, (L) and Chandrakantha Courthey (G) are also in this race.

In countywide races, incum-bent County Judge Bob Hebert faces James F. Pirtle (D).

Incumbent Republican Dis-trict Attorney John Healey is opposed by Wilvin J. Carter, a Democrat.

Incidentally, Carter’s wife Tameika Carter, (D) is running for County Court-at-Law Judge #1. The Republican candidate is Chris Morales.

If both the Carters win, would Prosecutor Carter try a case in the court of Judge Carter? Prob-

ably, not, a special judge may have to hear the cases argued by Carter. This situation will arise only if both the husband and wife win the election.

In other countywide races, incumbent District Clerk An-nie Rebecca Elliott (R) is chal-lenged by Democrat, Michael D. Antalan.

County Clerk candidate Lau-ra Richards (R) faces Lila Vil-lagomez (D).

Justice of the Peace Pct. (1), Place 2 incumbent Mary Ward (R) is opposed by Karen Me-doza (D).

In the races for Texas House of Representatives, Dist.26. State Rep. Rick Miller, (R), in-cumbent, is challenged by Am-ber Passo (D).

In Dist. 27 incumbent Ron Reynolds (D) faces David Ham-ilton (R). Hamilton is banking on the fact that Reynolds is awaiting trial in Montgomery County on 10 counts of felony charges of barratry or ambu-lance chasing.

In Dist.85, incumbent Phil Stephenson (R) faces Cynthia Drabek (D).

The ballot also has a state-wide Proposition. Prop. 1, if approved, will amend the Con-stitution to allow for a portion of severance tax revenue, a production tax paid by oil and gas companies, to go toward the state highway fund.

Early voting begins Monday

FBISD Bond: Yes, no or don’t careIt is crunch time. Fort Bend

ISD board of trustees and the administration have taken a critical step. They have called the $484 million bond election.

The administration has made its best case for this referendum. It has played the right cards.

A well established facilities master plan, an imminent need to build new school campuses to get rid of trailers, the need to have a technology upgrade and up to date security are among the factors which led to the bond election.

The administration has also announced that there will be no increase in tax rate to pay for the debt.

What else can you ask for? If the pressing needs of the district can be met with no additional burden on taxpayers, that is a recipe for success, say the pro-ponents of the bond.

But that is not all. Besides those who are ready to vote yes for the bond, there are those who would vote no and a third segment, that really does not care one way or the other.

Among the opponents of the bond, there are two groups.

One group of voters are op-posed to a number of aspects like the security cameras in bus-es and the proposed career and technology center.

Another group is more op-posed to the timing of the bond election than the bond referen-dum itself.

In fact, at the very fi rst public hearing on the proposed bond election, the dominant senti-ment among speakers was to delay the bond election until next May.

This group wanted the feeder patterns and boundary studies completed fi rst before deciding on future campuses. But, the administration and the board of trustees did not heed.

Those who believed in the new superintendent and the board of trustees, as a welcome change from the past, were somewhat disappointed that the board ignored their plea for delaying the election until the boundary studies and feeder pat-terns are completed.

More signifi cantly, the ad-ministration did not satisfy this section of the public on why the

election should be held now and what harm would be caused by having the election in May.

Even some of the yes voters say they do not like some parts of the bond proposal. However, they have faith in the board and will take up the issues on a case by case basis when time comes for approval those items.

To pacify those who wanted immediate boundary and feeder pattern studies, the administra-tion announced an expedited schedule, but promised changes only for the two new elementary schools and some other cam-puses, leaving the door open for complete feeder pattern and boundary studies for the future.

Even a couple of board mem-bers are not happy with this de-velopment, but they may not venture to oppose the bond in the larger interest of the district.

The debate over the bond election is taking place more on the Facebook page FBISD Con-cerns. Comments on this page pretty much refl ect the prevail-ing sentiment among FBISD voters. It would be worthwhile to recall some of the opinions expressed by the Facebook group.

An interesting comment reads: If saying “no” means you believe other concerns need to be reviewed fi rst, that’s logi-

cal. Saying “no” as some sortof punishment sound more likerevenge or something.

A bond opponent comment-ed thus:My main problem all along is the all or nothing approach tothe bond package. The Admin-istration and the Board chosethis path, not the voters, notthe teachers, not the students.I do not agree with the Cam-eras, security fences and win-dow fi lm in the Safe & SecurePlan because from fi rst handknowledge I do not believe it is going to make any studentsafer and it will not make our schools any more secure. I do not agree with adding cameras and GPS to existing buses thatdo not have seat belts or AC. I do not agree with putting awireless network on debt since these are items that only lasta couple years. I do not agreewith handing FBISD $56 mil-lion for CTE with no plan, noprograms and no idea how itwill be spent.A bond supporter followed:As of right now, I plan to vote“yes” and will support the dis-trict when they ask for moneyfor schools and will activelyoppose money being spent onitems such as window fi lm andnew cameras. I am not thrilledabout cameras in our schoolsand not thrilled it is in the bond.I would much rather add a lotof teachers who can be so muchmore effective in controllingdiscipline issues real time.

But the most compelling case has been made by those whowant the boundary studies fi rstand the bond election in May.Impartial observers will be hardpressed to reject this line of ar-gument. See BOND, Page 3

The vote no group repre-sentative has been an activist-parent and has devoted a lot of time to fi nd solutions to the issues faced by the district. Her opinion does command weight. Her explanation follows:

“Everyone should do their homework before early voting begins next Monday, October 20. There are certainly reasons to vote for the bond. No one can argue that there isn’t serious need in our district. But - after careful deliberation on my part, I’ve opted to vote no until I see changes that highlight our district’s ability to appropri-ately utilize existing funds and facilities.

If you are on the fence - - here are some reasons why many will be voting no on the bond -:

We need to show FBISD that feeder, boundary and academy changes must be completed fi rst. They need to show us they can utilize our existing funds and facilities wisely. Then, we will vote for a bond.

• Vote No because changes to boundary/feeder were vetted by the community and a plan was approved by the board last Spring – but now FBISD says changes could take 2 to 5 years. We have the data – make the changes now.

• Vote No because FBISD is not addressing most of our se-verely overcrowded and under-utilized schools! In 2015 they will only implement lines for the 2 new elementary schools. Unacceptable.

• Vote No because after FBISD assured residents that the Global Studies Academy is-sues would be handled prompt-ly, they have not yet explained how or when. Should problems wait until current students have graduated?

• Vote No because this $500 Million bond which was pulled together in two months in-cludes questionable expendi-tures like close to $60 Million for unspecified Career and Technical Education improve-ments and tens of millions of dollars of padding that will be used to pay for short lifespan maintenance & operations

items. Do you want to still be paying in the year 2045 for carpets installed in 2015?

• Vote No because the bond does not include any high school additions or new builds even though many of our high schools are already at maxi-mum capacity with new com-munities being built as we speak.

• Vote No because you’re tired of hearing “Be patient – these things take time.” They have the necessary data to implement change now. They are stalling in the hopes that we will vote for the bond. Once we do, will change ever come?

Vote No – and show FBISD that we want our broken dis-trict fixed first. We need a bond – no one can dispute that. But, let’s fi x our existing issues fi rst so we can be sure the bond package we approve adequately addresses where our real needs are.

You can’t vote for spending money on new buildings and/or additions before fi guring out for certain where that money needs to go. I am not comfort-able writing a $500 Million check to a district that once again has kicked the boundary/feeder can down the road; a District that rushed into pulling a bond package together in 2-3 months, without considering how future changes will im-pact need; a District that has included $60 million for CTE with no specifi c idea/explana-tion how/where those funds will be spent; a District that spent considerable funds on a consultant-driven process last year that is being cast aside for another consultant-driven process this year.

I gave my all last year; I devoted hours upon countless hours as did so many other community residents. Why? Because I thought “This is dif-ferent; this is an admin that is going to do what it says; that is going to listen to the communi-ty; that is going to make smart decisions.” I feel duped. I feel like if I hear “be patient - stay with us - these things take time” one more time, I may lose it. Boundary/feeder could happen now. All the data already exists. It could/would/should have an enormous impact on where dol-lars should go. The bond needs

to be step 2.Why do you suppose the

Board and Admin opted for November instead of May? Why the sudden hurry up offense? Why - when during the entire facilities planning process, we were all told repeatedly that it was not about a bond, but about fi guring out how to best utilize our facilities, and determine where new facilities may be needed - why was bond brought to the table one month later? Why was the bond made the primary focus instead of the boundary/feeder work?

The fact that not more than two board members have ex-pressed concern about the delay to feeder/boundary work is very disconcerting - - that does not mean the data is not compelling enough. We did vote for these individuals - - that does not mean they are doing their jobs effectively.

Anyone who has been attend-ing board meetings , who sat on the facilities planning com-mittee; who has been watching boundary/feeder issues for 7 years; or who has been listening to all that has unfolded for the past 6 months, - - would surely know that our Admin and Board are very aware of feeder and boundary changes that need to be made; they are very aware based on data how to make those changes; they are very aware how to go about imple-menting said changes; and yet they are opting to simply use the line “have patience - - these things take time” to keep folks appeased and pass a bond that will not fi x much of what is cur-rently broken, and what will be broken once feeder/boundary changes occur - if ever.

I went wrong in trusting that decisions that in fact were made at the close of last year would be honored and implemented. I trust that our Board and Ad-min are good people; but that doesn’t mean they are doing the right thing. Good, smart people make mistakes too.

The bond and feeders are not separate. I am in no way using the bond issue to beat them into doing what I want. In fact

- those who have monitored this page for longer than the past week would likely remember that not that long ago I was one of very few who voiced

why folks should consider vot-ing YES on the bond. That was before Dr. Dupre revealed to me that no changes are likely for the 2015-2016 year, and in fact most will take 2-5 years, although the feeder plan time-line was accelerated such that it will be complete in January, an acceleration that was a di-rect result of Jenny Bailey and Kristin Tassin pushing admin on the fact that the data exists so that feeders can be done now.

As much as I respect Dr. Dupre, I also know and admire very much his amazing skills at using words in his favor without necessarily committing to any-thing. That’s a fantastic skill - - and one that I wish many of my PR clients had. Look for phrases like, “we might implement some change” or “these things take time” or “we are working on it”

- - what you surely won’t see is “Here is why we can’t implement changes now:

I am not anti-Board, nor am I anti-Admin. I am simply anti-inaction. All I ask is that they do what the district set out to do when we invested tons of money into consultants for long-term facilities planning. If they can’t do that, all I ask is that they tell us why. Tell us why a process that, according to current admin, could have been done in 3 months last year, is now doomed to take on a 2-5 year lifespan. Tell us why we have to engage the community on discussion points the com-munity already engaged upon last year. Tell us why we can’t make decisions using data from the Spring. Tell us why do they take time. What will time buy us?

If someone can give me valid data-driven reasons why 1) boundary and feeder can’t be done and implemented by fall 2015? And 2) why it makes sense to do the bond in November, be-fore we have properly utilized existing facilities? - I would stop digging. Interestingly, no one can answer/has answered those questions. Do boundary feeder. Start now. Finish in April. Bond vote in May.

After this eloquent presenta-tion, it is futile to prolong the debate.

I rest my case as well and will wait for the judgment on Nov. 4.

By CAROLYN BOWDENMIAMI UNIVERSITY

OF OHIO: Biles was re-cruited by Miami as a quar-terback and exhibited smart signal calling such as, “…Bile ran’em through the line and swept ‘em around the ends, and when he did call a pass it clicked.”

But, an injury cut short his playing days there, so he became assistant fresh-man football and basketball coach . He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education and received his Master’s degree in Phys. Ed. From Miami, still mak-ing time for a social life as a member of Sigma Chi frater-nity.

FIRST COACHING JOB: After graduation he immediately took a job as an assistant coach at a High School in Cincinnati work-ing his way up to head coach. (This caused a drastic reas-sessment of his carefully con-structed game plan.)

“I’ve had goals all my life and I thought I’d give myself fi ve years to be a head coach in this school. Then, when I got that, I said I would like to be an assistant coach in col-lege in fi ve years or take a good look at what I was do-ing.”

Woodward High School was a “fi rst-year school” and in its initial season Biles was forced to fi eld a varsity squad

of freshmen and sophomores. Those three seasons were a great “learning and teaching” experience. It could be a chal-lenge.

“These things won’t happen nowadays, but I literally had a kid who thought that a jock strap was a nose protector. He was young, and he didn’t know any better. So he was trying to put the jock strap on his face.”

XAVIER UNIVERSITY (A tiny Jesuit school in Cin-cinnati): Biles accepted a job as freshman coach. After a 16-4 record in fi ve years with

the freshmen, he seriously considered leaving the coach-ing profession.

However he was dissuaded from quitting when he was elevated to the head post at Xavier, at age 28, becoming the youngest head coach of a major college in the country. His staff consisted of a former Los Angeles Ram with NO coaching experience, an ac-countant and a man with one year of junior-high coaching.

“I had more guts than I had sense.” He now laughs about it. Working within the confi nes of a tight budget, Biles had to transport his teams in his fl at-bellied pickup to a practice area in the Spring because their regular practice area was the baseball diamond. His as-sistants all had nine-month contracts and moonlighted during the summer. In his fi rst season Xavier beat Kentucky, an upset on the order of “Sam Houston State beating A&M”.

Another game when he hoped to compensate for his fl u-stricken team – he sent out his Captains in street clothes for the opening coin toss.

He suited up the 8 players at half time, who had been ill but were released by the Doc-tor to play the second half. They nailed down a 29-28 vic-tory after trailing 21-0.

Biles’ Xavier teams were in-ventive. They featured at least one gadget play a game. “It started as a joke. Somebody asked where I developed one play. I remembered Wheaties breakfast cereal diagrammed plays and printed them and for laughs I said I found it on a box top. It caught on.” Biles didn’t/doesn’t drink or smoke.

Two of his linemen, Mike Stensrud and Andy Dor-ris were quoted as saying, “I don’t know Ed’s coaching philosophy, but as defensive coordinator he was superior and Ed won’t put up with any bull.” Biles’ best record was 8-2 during the 1965 season when he was named the Cath-olic Coach of the Year.

(FYI: Biles is not a Catho-lic.) Biles is remembered at Xavier for his habit of giving players a chance to play that others gave up on; a fondness for the unusual in offense; and the fact that he was the last man to produce a winning football team at Xavier Uni-versity before Xavier dropped the sport in 1973.

In 1962 when Biles’ team played in the Fairfi eld Stadi-um he told the press the Stadi-um was in such bad shape, he refused to bring his team back to Huntington. After receiving grief from the press, his con-cern was affi rmed. A trio of inspectors were called in and found Biles’ assessment to be accurate with no less than 120 health and safety violations.

Biles resigned at Xavier in January 1969, to take a job as assistant coach with the NFL’s New Orleans Saints. Two years later he joined the New York Jets’ staff, and then moved on to Houston.(Content for this column cour-tesy of Ed Biles and countless

newspaper clippings from Ohio to Louisiana to New York to Texas.)NEXT COLUMN: October 22nd – The Oilers, Life after Coaching, Looking BackWrite to: [email protected] about this column

An initiative of the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce, Fort Bend Volunteers! pre-sented the 2014 Volunteer of the Year award on Tuesday, September 30 at Safari Texas Ranch.

Kevin San Jose, a volun-teer with Texana Center, was named the 2014 Volunteer of the Year.

Out of the 19 outstanding nominations received from throughout the county, Kevin San Jose, a volunteer with Texana Center, was named the 2014 Volunteer of the Year.

Kevin is an outstanding young man who has not let

challenges stop him from suc-ceeding in life.

When Kevin was a child, he was diagnosed with au-tism and found communicat-ing with others very diffi cult. He would shy away from the simplest conversations and interactions.

Fortunately, the 2014 Vol-unteer of the Year learned to overcome this and the many obstacles placed before him. Wanting to offer assistance, Kevin’s mother enrolled him in a social skills group that works with young people di-agnosed with autism between 15 and 21 years of age.

After nine months, Kevin

completed the course and then asked if he could return to the program to help students like himself.

Two years ago, he fi lled out

the volunteer application and started his journey and has already clocked more than 1,800 volunteering hours at Texana.

Kevin is one of the best role models to volunteer at Texana Center. He is respected by those in the program because of his dedication to helping others. You can always expect him to be on time, commit-ted, enthusiastic, and to have a positive attitude. Congratula-tions to Kevin San Jose, 2014 Volunteer of the Year!

The winner of this county-wide search for the top volun-teer in Fort Bend County was evaluated by a panel of expert judges.

The judges included Me-lissa Burnham, Executive Vice President at Gulf Coast Medical Foundation, Meghna Goswami, Program Offi cer – Human Services at Houston Endowment, and Kelli King-Jackson, Program Offi cer at The Simmons Foundation.

This year, nominations were received from the fol-lowing organizations: Casa de Esperanza de los Niños,

An Earth-Kind Home Landscaping Class will be held on Saturday, October 18 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the Mis-souri City Community Center located at 1522 Texas Parkway. Check-in begins at 9:00 a.m.

Fort Bend Master Gardeners will teach homeowners about Earth-Kind plant selection of native and well-adapted plants for our area, home landscape design and how to create a na-tive habitat in their backyard. There are many reasons to use Earth-Kind home landscaping: beauty, low maintenance and the need for less watering, fertilizers and pesticides.

Plan to join us for this free class - open to everyone, not just Missouri City residents!

This event is made possible by the collaborative efforts of Missouri City Green, Missouri City Parks & Recreation and the Fort Bend County Master Gardeners.

También se dará Aviso de la Elección al secretario del Condado y al Administrador de Elecciones del Condado a más tardar 60 días antes del Día de Elecciones.

Artículo 10. Realización de la elección. La Elección se llevará a cabo de conformidad con el Código, salvo lo modificado por el Código de Educación de Texas, y de conformidad con la Ley Federal de Derechos Electorales (Federal Voting Rights Act) de 1965, y sus enmiendas, lo que incluye especialmente el Capítulo 272 del Código relativo a requisitos bilingües.

Artículo 11. Información adicional requerida por el Artículo 3.009 del Código Electoral.

(a) Al 1 de julio de 2014, el primer día del corriente año fiscal del Distrito, la suma total de capital en concepto de saldo de deuda financiada con impuestos del Distrito ascendía a $858.781.188,80 y la suma total de saldo de intereses en relación con tal deuda financiada con impuestos ascendía a $448.085.965,53. La tasa impositiva ad valorem del servicio de deuda del Distrito a la fecha de esta Orden es de $0,30 por cada $100 de valuación fiscal de propiedads imponibles en el Distrito.

b) El Distrito planea emitir los bonos autorizados por la Proposición durante un periodo de años de una manera y según un plan que serán determinados por el Consejo en base a varios factores, lo que incluye a modo ilustrativo, las necesidades que tenga el Distrito en ese momento, los cambios demográficos, las condiciones que prevalezcan en el mercado, las valuaciones fiscales en el Distrito y la gestión del riesgo de la tasa de interés del Distrito en el corto y el largo plazo. Las condiciones del mercado, la situación demográfica y las valuaciones fiscales varían en base a diversos factores más allá del control del Distrito, y por lo tanto, el Distrito no puede y no garantiza una tasa de interés o una tasa impositiva específica respecto de los bonos autorizados por la Proposición. Por consiguiente, la información incluida en este párrafo se proporciona únicamente para propósitos ilustrativos y no crea ninguna limitación o restricción ni establece un contrato con los votantes. El Distrito actualmente estima que, si la Proposición fuese aprobada y los bonos propuestos en el presente fuesen autorizados y emitidos de conformidad con el plan de financiamiento del Distrito proyectado a la fecha, la tasa impositiva ad valoren del servicio de deuda del Distrito ascendería a aproximadamente $0,30 por cada $100 de valuación fiscal de bienes imponibles en el Distrito.

(c) Los Artículos 2 y 3 de esta Orden contienen información adicional requerida por el Artículo 3.009 del Código.

Artículo 12. Acciones necesarias. Por el presente se autoriza y ordena que el Superintendente u otra persona designada en su lugar, desempeñándose en nombre del Consejo, previa consulta con el abogado del Distrito y el asesor de bonos, tome todas las medidas que sean necesarias para cumplir con las disposiciones del Código y la Ley Federal de Derechos Electorales (Federal Voting Rights Act) en lo concerniente a conducir y llevar a cabo la Elección, independientemente de si tales medidas están expresamente autorizadas en este documento, lo que incluye introducir cambios o efectuar incorporaciones a los centros electorales o procedimientos de elección según sea necesario o conveniente de acuerdo a lo que determine el Administrador de Elecciones del Condado.

Artículo 13. Independencia de cláusulas. Si por algún motivo se determina que una disposición, artículo, inciso, oración, cláusula o frase de esta Orden, o su aplicación a cualquier persona o conjunto de circunstancias es inconstitucional, nulo, inválido o inaplicable, tal determinación no afectará al resto de las partes de esta Orden ni su aplicación a otras personas o circunstancias, dado que el propósito del Consejo al adoptar esta Orden es que ninguna parte de este documento ni disposición o norma contenida aquí se vuelva inoperante o errónea por motivo de una inconstitucionalidad, ineficacia, invalidez o inaplicabilidad de cualquier otra parte de este documento, y todas las disposiciones de esta Orden son declaradas independientes para tal fin.

Artículo 14. Fecha de entrada en vigencia. Esta Orden entrará en vigencia inmediatamente después de su aprobación.

REVISADA Y APROBADA a los 18 días del mes de agosto de 2014.

By BARBARA FULENWIDERThe GMC Terrain De-

nali delivers an extra touch of luxury to a favorite in the compact crossover segment. In 2015, the Terrain lineup focuses on helping drivers stay connected with two new features -- a new OnStar with 4G LTE and standard built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, which provides a mobile hub and is on when-ever the vehicle is and comes with a three-month/three-gi-gabyte data trial.

The 2015 Terrain is pow-ered by the standard Ecotec 2.4L four-cylinder. It gets

an EPA-rated 32 mpg on the highway (FWD models). An available 3.6L V-6 engine makes 301 horsepower and 272 lb.-ft. of torque.

Terrain is offered in front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models, in SLE and SLT trim levels, as well as the Denali. All models include four-wheel disc brakes with StabiliTrak electronic stability control and traction control, as well as six standard air bags: dual frontal air bags, head cur-tain side air bags and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags.

The Terrain Denali has exclusive wheels, a chrome grille, body-color fascias and rocker moldings, satin-chrome accents, specifi c head-lamp and taillamp designs and dual chrome-fi nish exhaust outlets with the larger motor. Denali gets 18-inch wheels with the 2.4L or 19-inch with the 3.6-liter engine.

Interior highlights on the Terrain Denali include soft-touch jet black leather lining the seats and door inserts. Contrast stitching, along with a soft-touch instrument panel, leather-wrapped steer-

ing wheel, illuminated front sill plates, eight-way power driver and passenger seat and standard sunroof contribute to a luxurious interior.

Exceptional safety features on the Terrain Denali include the standard forward collision alert and lane departure warn-ing systems. The side blind zone alert and rear cross traf-fi c alert are also standard.

With the touch of a button, Terrain Denali drivers can ac-cess a programmable power liftgate, which allows access to the vehicle’s 63.9 cubic feet (1,810 liters) of cargo space behind the fi rst row, while a memory function stops the liftgate at a chosen height to help shorter drivers or accom-modate low garage heights. There is also a color touch navigation and a rear-seat en-tertainment system on the Ter-rain Denali.

The standard and segment-

exclusive MultiFlex sliding rear seat can be moved fore or aft nearly eight inches, provid-ing increased passenger com-fort – including 39.9-inches of legroom – or greater rear cargo capacity. The rear cargo area has 31.6 cubic feet of space.

Additional interior features on various models include au-tomatic climate control, color touch radio with seven-inch touch-screen display, USB and auxiliary inputs; Premium Pioneer sound system with subwoofer and amplifi er; rear-seat entertainment system; ambient lighting, heated driv-er and front passenger seats; tilting and telescoping steer-ing column; universal home remote and a sunroof.

GMC IntelliLink combines with OnStar to bring segment-exclusive infotainment tech-nology, text messaging alerts and Siri eyes free feature.

Terrain engineers provided a smooth, quiet ride, four-wheel independent suspen-sion, a 112.5-inch wheelbase and wide front and rear tracks. Additional features are elec-tronic stability control that helps keep the vehicle in its intended path in the event of an emergency maneuver and standard four-wheel anti-lock brakes with traction control.

Safety features include a standard tire pressure moni-toring system, forward col-lision alert, lane departure warning, side blind zone alert, rear cross traffi c alert.

The GMC Terrain Denali all-wheel drive with the 2.4-li-ter engine retails for $37,090. The optional larger engine, rear seat entertainment sys-tem, cargo package, roof rack with cross rails, trailering package, etc., added $4,415.

TEXAS STATE REPRESENTATIVEDISTRICT 26

Re-Elect

The Judge; not a judge. Robert Duvall is the big-dog judge (Joseph Palmer) in small-town Indiana.

Judge Palmer’s wife of 50 years unexpectedly dies and he fi nds himself charged with murder by allegedly running over a man on a bike who had been recently sentenced to jail by the judge himself. The lo-cals are saddened by this turn of events, so a special pros-

ecutor (Billy Bob Thornton) in a three-piece suit is brought in to seek justice against the legendary Judge Palmer.

The focus of this movie is not The Judge but The Law-yer.

This lawyer is Hank Palmer (Robert “Iron Man” Downey Jr.) who is a highly success-ful criminal defense attorney from the big city and the es-tranged son of The Judge.

While returning to attend his mother’s funeral, Hank Palmer is pulled back into the family’s dysfunction and the defense of his father who is “…the most stubborn client I’ve ever had.”

The characters of Downey and Duvall butt heads and push each other’s buttons. That’s one of the main reasons I went to this movie.

Veritas Steak and Sea-food is offering a promotion throughout the month of Oc-tober to benefi t cancer patients at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital.

The restaurant has created special Pretty in Pink menus for both lunch and dinner for the month of October, with a portion of proceeds from ev-ery order benefi ting the Hous-ton Methodist Sugar Land Hospital Cancer Fund.

Veritas will donate $3 for every lunch and $7 for every dinner sold from its special Pretty in Pink menu.

“This is an excellent oppor-tunity to have a great meal at Veritas and at the same time, benefi t local cancer patients in need,” says Houston Method-

ist Sugar Land Hospital’s Pret-ty in Pink Sponsorship Chair, Leena Taneja. “The money raised by this month-long pro-motion will go directly to the Cancer Fund, which provides fi nancial assistance to patients who are battling cancer.”

Veritas’ special Pretty in Pink dinner menu consists of three courses with your choice of entrée including chicken fried steak, grilled salmon, homemade lasagna and grilled chicken Alex. The special lunch menu includes two courses, with entrée choices of blackened tilapia, grilled lemon pepper chicken or penne pasta primavera.

“We are honored to be a part of this great community initia-tive. Together we can support

the cancer patients in our com-munity while enjoying a deli-cious meal,” said Kevin Rios, Proprietor of Veritas.

The Pretty in Pink-fundrais-er raised more than $114,000 for the Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital Cancer Fund last year. The money is donated to local cancer patients to help with non-hospital costs such as medi-cal equipment, medications, wigs, child care, transporta-tion and even car or house payments, and other types of non-medical bills.

Veritas Steak and Seafood is located at 1550 Lake Pointe Parkway in Sugar Land. To make reservations, call 281-491-2901.

time favorite actors and I love to hear him make that little heh-heh laugh with his mouth slightly open that he made famous in “Lonesome Dove” (1989). Or was it “The God-father” (1972)?

It doesn’t matter because I show up if Bobby Duvall shows up.

Admittedly he wasn’t ex-actly Augustus McCrae in “The Judge,” but he was the rock-solid professional that he always is.

Downey at age 49, on the other hand, was remarkable as the intricate, attractive law-yer with a know-it-all attitude and a kindness for his young daughter who he affectionate-ly calls “baby.”

Hank Palmer got under the skin of everyone; especially his two brothers and his high school sweetheart played by Vera “Up in the Air” Farmiga.

She melts me with her scrumptious lips and dreamy eyes, and she does a number on Downey, too, so I’m not the only sucker.

Outstanding supporting cast: Vincent D’Onofrio and Jeremy Strong as brothers; Ken “The White Shadow” Howard as the presiding judge, and Billy Bob was ide-al as the hard-nosed prosecu-tor from out of town.

And special note goes to Dax “Parenthood” Shepard who portrays an inexperi-enced lawyer that routinely throws up on the courthouse steps.

During the vomiting scenes in front of the courthouse, Downey’s character stands nearby holding the younger lawyer’s arm to give him mor-al support. That’s fascinating writing.

The screenplay is cred-ited to Nick Schenk and Bill Dubuque. Their written dia-logue was emotional, sensi-tive, and complex.

I was pulling for and against several characters. Schenk and Dubuque understand the English language.

And Director David Dob-kin, who is best known for directing Wedding Crashers, made it all jell into a classi-cally passionate movie that delves deeply into the dynam-ics of the American family. Downey and Duvall, oh my! Rock ‘n Roll.
