But they change gears just a cou- ple of hours later when they travel a few miles east to the Northside Boxing Gym, 3804 Billingsley. The Gonzalez sisters spar, train, hit punching bags and run for miles, all in the hope that they’ll qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. “We get to help each other. If I’m tired, she pumps me up. I do the same for her,” said Dida, a 17-year- old Reagan senior. Dida, who is ranked No. 1 in the United States in the 17-18 year old division at 125 pounds, represent- ed USA Boxing at the World Championships last month in Bulgaria. Her boxing accomplishments gave her the opportunity to make the trip -- her first outside of the U.S. Once in Bulgaria, Dida had a strong effort, reach- ing the quarterfinals where she dropped a hard- fought bout against a Ukranian boxer. Melanie, a 14-year-old freshman, isn’t far behind. She’s ranked fifth at 125 pounds in her age bracket and will compete in a tournament in January in Reno, Nevada to gain a spot on the USA Boxing Ju- nior Team (for 15-16 year olds) “My sister motivates me every day,” Melanie said. “Even when I’m sick or sad, she pushes me to keep going. That’s how I know we’re going to make it big together.” The Gonzalez sisters didn’t always have boxing dreams. They played sports from volleyball and basketball to track when they were students at Hogg Middle School. Their stepfather, Oscar Orozco Jr., who attended Reagan in the 1980s, has always been interested in boxing. Dida and Melanie began hitting the speed bags at home, and before long, they were down at North- side, which is owned by his best friend and business partner, Juan Sotelo. By 2010, they were competing in the Golden Gloves youth boxing league. “I sparred with kids and taught him what he knew about boxing,” said Oscar, who’s been their trainer for the past five years.

(Photos by Michael Sudhalter) Houston ISD trustees narrowly approved a 3-cent tax rate increase last week to fund the district’s 2013-’14 budget. District projections showed that would mean an extra $20 on a tax bill for each $100,000 of assessed property value. The vote brings the HISD tax rate to $1.1867. Board president Anna Eastman, who represents Leader com- munities, along with trustees Mike Lunceford and Juliet Stipeche voted against the increase, while Harvin Moore, Paula Harris, Larry Marshall and Rhonda Skillern-Jones were in the majority. Two trustees, Manuel Rodriguez and Greg Myers, were not present for the vote. The increase was half what was originally believed to be needed during early budget discussions, and as late as two weeks ago, Superintendent Terry Grier was seeking a 4-cent increase. In the end, the board agreed to a plan to use $4.9 mil- lion in savings to balance the budget.

All three left the meeting quickly and declined to comment to The Leader. Before leaving they asked HISD real estate manager Gary Hansel if Elk Mountain was the same group by a different name, from the last round of bidding. “I don’t know if it’s the same group, but they have the same broker,” Hansel told them. In July, St. Thomas had a slightly higher bid than A.V. Dickson, a real estate investment company whose leaseback terms were consider- ably lower than St. Thomas. But that process was ended when it was determined both parties had improperly lobbied school board members. Trustees agreed to launch another round of bids to help finance the relocation and building of a new law enforcement campus. see Box • Page 5A

During the school day, Heights residents Dida and Melanie Gon-zalez quietly earn top grades and enjoy their time with Reagan High classmates.

The Houston Police Department’s Central Patrol Division has recovered the van believed to have been used in two Stranger Danger cases, within blocks of each other in the Heights, on Oct. 3. A man reportedly approached pupils from Harvard Elementary after school with their parents nearby -- one outside the school, the other outside the Heights Library.

Police are still searching for the suspect, described as a 60-year-old white male carrying a red poncho.

George Gibson and Corey Nickerson and charged them with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon on Sunday, Oct. 6.

Gibson and Nickerson allegedly robbed the AT&T Store, 10650 Northwest Freeway (near the corner of Mangum), at gunpoint, taking cell phones and other merchandise.

They allegedly fled the scene in a Beige 2012 Buick and were arrested on South Gessner, near Richmond Ave., but HPD officers that saw a vehicle matching the description of the suspects’ car.

Man robbed on SaxonA 32-year-old male tried to be a good samaritan, but

ended up a robbery victim at 11:50 p.m. on Oct. 12.The man was inside the Big Bear Food Store, at the

corner of Mangum and Lamont, when two Hispanic males approached him and requested a tire jack. The man obliged and walked down the street to the suspects’ car in the 4900 block of Saxon.

Once they arrived, a third Hispanic male joined them. One of the suspects allegedly pulled a gun and stole the victim’s wallet.

The suspects then fled and there were no injuries.One of the suspects is described as 30 years of age with

short hair, dark clothing and an eye patch over his right eye. The other two were simply described as wearing

baseball hats.

Wendy’s workers, customers robbed

The Wendy’s restaurant at 715 W. 28th St., near the intersection of Loop 610 and Shepherd, was robbed at 8:50 p.m. on Oct. 8.

A suspect entered the restaurant and robbed two customers and the register, taking off with an undisclosed amount of money.

The victims were three females -- ages 40, 39, and 20. There were no injuries.

The suspect was reportedly armed with a pistol. He’s described as a black male, 20 to 30 years of age, between 5-foot-8 and 5-foot-10 with a beard, and wearing sunglasses.

He fled in a vehicle with an unknown description.

The city of Houston has stepped in to take action on two residential eyesores in the Gar-den Oaks-Oak Forest areas.

A seemingly abandoned and overgrown residence at 1562 Cheshire St. on the high-traffic corner with 43rd Street was designated by the city’s Department of Neighborhoods Inspections and Public Service division for “first available servicing” by a city contractor.

When the city cut the lot, placed a lien on the property to eventually recover costs of the cleanup.

According to HCAD, the 1,376 square foot home is in poor condition, but its value is $181,636, up from $145,516 a year ago.

The owner, Mitchel A. Young, 34, failed to comply with the city’s latest request to clean up the property. The most recent was Aug. 28 when Young, who has owned the home since 2000, was notified to abate weeds. He was

granted a 10-day extension on Sept. 18 but didn’t comply.

Young complied with the city’s requests to

cut the weeds last March and in November 2010, respectively.

A vacant home at 703 W. 42nd St. is in the process of being sold, according to the city of Houston’s Legal Department. It’s set to close in December.

The garage at the property had collapsed, and the city visited in June and notified the owner to secure/repair the garage.

The owner told the city that the new own-ers intend to demolish the two properties in order to re-develop. The owner promised the city to secure the property from unauthorized use until that point.

Citizens who have complaints about nui-sances are advised to call 311, rather than reporting problems through intermediaries. They can remain anonymous if they wish.

THE READER.

Why haven’t we funded any studies on child obesity?

Find out if you’re HOV positive

PROUD NEWSPARTNER WITH

I don’t have a degree in anything scientific – not even after a stay at a second-rate hotel – but after four

weeks of being a new father and doing countless minutes of internet research, I’ve discovered a study that not a single grant-writing, non-profit dot-org has tackled.

You’d think, in this day of govern-ment-funded worthless projects, there’d be enough money left for this topic. Maybe it’s the shutdown, which may or may not have ended, and who really cares at this point. Sorry, I digress.

The topic that hasn’t been studied? Child obesity.

I know you think that’s a joke. Surely I’m not dumb enough to have missed the decades of research bemoaning the expanding waistlines of our children as they sit on the couch, eating processed cheese and playing football with their fingers.

No, I’m talking about a different child obesity, namely my obesity since having a child. Some of you can relate.

Baby Hank has been around for a little more than a month, and it appears he and I are in a race to see who can eat the most. Here’s how it happened:

On our first day home from the hospi-tal, I told Meghan I would cook dinner.

That sounded like something a loving husband and father would do. Hank agreed by grunting and then pooping twice, which is Morse code for “Please swaddle me.”

I whipped up quite the culinary mas-terpiece: enchilada casserole with a side of Tums. Mom loved it. I loved it. Hank, maybe not so much. Two hours later, when it was time to feed, he finished his mommy meal with an hour-long bout of the hiccups. Easy on the jalapeños, Dad.

You’d tend to categorize this casserole as a comfort food, and having a home-cooked meal full of calories seemed like an OK idea after three days of chicken jerky at the hospital. In hindsight – and what absolutely no one told me, even after I warned you all about my impend-ing parenthood – I had no idea that our

home was about to become a Golden Corral of comfort food.

Apparently, when you have a child, friends and neighbors become concerned about two very specific things: First, surely Hank could use one more onesie. And second, will the new parents become famished?

My wife is very good about writing things down. She knows every gift and meal that has found its way through our front door. Me on the other hand? I can only remember what has been delivered by looking at an ever-expanding girth.

It started with Mom-in-Law, who spent the first week nurturing her daugh-ter who was nurturing a son. Meals were ready by 5:01 p.m. every day because the entire day had been spent planning what to eat for dinner. And when you eat at 5 p.m., surely you realize you’re going to need a snack before bed.

The second week, my Mom and Dad spent a week watching Hank grunt and poop. They, too, spent mornings and af-ternoons whipping up dishes of lasagna and chili.

Once they left, that’s when the neigh-borhood mom’s club went into action. I don’t know where you live, but in my neighborhood, we have the kindest moms in the world, and the evidence

is in the barrage of barbecue, chicken-and-dumplin’s, pasta salads and mashed potatoes they deliver. Oh, and did I mention the mashed potatoes? If not, maybe I should mention the mac-and-cheese. We’re not talking about single servings here, either. We’re talking tubs of deliciousness.

We’ve had Mediterranean dishes delivered, another round of enchiladas, this time with rice and beans sans the jalapeños. We’ve had a delightful concoc-tion of pasta stuffed with ricotta cheese, and a neighborhood restaurant has made a killing catering just to our home.

I don’t want this to sound like a laundry list of complaints. In fact, it’s a good bet you just looked up a recipe for enchilada casserole, and you may be on the way to the store right now for ingredients.

No, the food has been wonderful and appreciated. But here’s where I’m really struggling, as if the 37,000 calories listed above wasn’t enough.

The brownies.I’m really struggling with the appar-

ent procreation of brownies that has happened on our kitchen counter. I don’t know how it is happening, because I have eaten plenty of them. Yet every day when I get home, I find another plate of these

delectable squares of dark chocolate. And if you’re going to have a brownie, for goodness sakes you better top it with a couple of scoops of Blue Bell. Am I right?

The caloric catastrophe finally came to a head – literally – when Meghan and Hank ventured out for a trip to one of those wholesale, whole paycheck grocery stores/malls/food courts. I think it’s called Costalot. Meghan came home with four heads of lettuce, three cantaloupes, some bird food, a box of bulk fiber, and some toilet paper. I don’t even think she realized the assortment of what she had purchased, but taken as a whole, you’d think she was shopping for the 600-pound man.

Here’s where I had it all wrong. I was under the impression that once I brought a little boy home, my cardio output would increase. I’d chase this little squirt around the house, wrestle with him in the mud, make him play chase-the-bottle.

What I didn’t realize is that we’re a year away from such nonsense. Instead, my moments at home are limited to watching him eat, watching him sleep, and watching him watch me eat.

THE FAST LANE -- We are all zipping along the EZ Tag lanes where the signs clearly state two passengers or more. Odd. It seems the car ahead of me has only one person. Maybe his passenger is in the glove compartment, or more probably that driver is yet another scofflaw. Notice those cars usually sport a 100 Club decal on their windshield. They believe in law ‘n’ order, but the law is for other people.

Maybe we shall see an end to this type of mouth-breather, but I doubt it. TxDOT is about to en-force a new law our beloved state legislators passed: The agency is writing the 28,000 people who have amassed more than 100 violations within a year and owe more than $27 million in tolls on state-maintained tollways. The let-ters say to pay their fees, otherwise they’ll be publicly outed when the agency lists its chronic violators online. The hope is that shame will get many to clean up their acts, legislators said.

Besides putting their names on-line, the department will also ban serial violators from state-main-tained toll roads, and banned vehi-cles caught on the toll roads could be impounded and the driver tick-eted. This info may be turned over to county tax assessors, who in some counties -- like Harris -- can block vehicle registration renewal until the debt is paid.

This is rather mind-boggling on two fronts. First, we have 28,000 of our fellow Texans who have amassed more than 100 violations just in the last year (in some cases, officials said, viola-tors have amassed thousands of unpaid trips) and owe more than $27 million. Texas has always at-tracted outlaws, con artists and Yankees (is that redundant?), but this is ridiculous. And if you have run up any number of violations in less than the last 12 months, no problem. Same if you only have 99 violations. The second astound-ing fact is that no one has done anything about the problem until now. What does it take around here to get the law enforced?

Once I got a hot rocket from the tollway people saying I owed them my first born and my season tick-ets to ATF raids because I had gone

through a tollway checkpoint with a false license plate. Turns out it was my fault -- the state issues new car plates to vehicles every 20 years and I neglected to tell the tollway folks I had different plates. This didn’t happen when I was driving getaway cars.

Actually, the violation situation is probably worse because these numbers do not include those scofflaws on toll roads maintained by the Harris County Toll Road Authority or the Metropolitan Transit Authority which operate toll roads in the Houston area. TxDOT owns the Katy Managed Lanes along Interstate 10 West, but its first state-maintained toll-way in the Houston area will be the section of the Grand Parkway between I-10 and U.S. 290, sched-uled to open in December. On the other hand, massive violations in the Houston area are held down because the Harris County Toll Road Authority works closely with county law enforcement and the tax assessor. In the Dallas area, a regional agency, the North Texas Tollway Authority, manages toll-ways and has problems enforc-ing repeated violations. (Amber Young of Dallas held the top spot owing $179,596.43 for a reported 8,366 toll violations.) Thus Hous-ton’s number of violators is about one-fifth the number reported in the Dallas area.

OK, driving illegally on an EZ lane with fewer passengers than required or zooming through a toll gate with no front sticker does not rank in anger towards, say, the Astros’ bullpen or the Perry presi-dential campaign, but it does tick us off. Same with perfectly able people slipping into the handicap slots in front of a store. (They have a blue handicap tag alongside their 100 Club decal.) Loud, unruly children in restaurants is another.

Have you ever gone to the 15-items-or-less line in the grocery store behind someone with a year’s load of food in three baskets? Why do we get so upset over these rela-tively minor situations when we ignore the gold flow, global warm-ing and Glenn Beck? It’s Ashby’s Axiom of Anger. The simpler the problem, the madder we get. Con-versely, the more complicated the problem, the less we care.

Examples abound. Several years ago parents ignored failing schools in HISD, with its miserable track record, underpaid teachers and crumbling classrooms. But when the superintendent told the school board she needed a new district-issued car because her current car had 35,000 miles on it, she got the gate. Richard Nixon violated a laundry list of laws, rules and common decency, but a “third rate burglary” called Watergate we could understand. Al Capone was a murderer, extortionist, bootleg-ger and drug dealer. He was sent to Alcatraz for tax evasion. Taxpayers couldn’t tolerate that. Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh’s getaway was stopped because his yellow 1977 Mercury Marquis had no license plates.

You can loot a bank or a Wall Street firm of hundreds of mil-lions of dollars, destroy savings, reputations, lives and bring the nation’s economy to its knees, and you walk. Hold up a liquor store for $50 and the jury will give you 20 years. Derivatives, whales, SEC regulations, sub-prime mortgages -- who’d buy a house under wa-ter? -- and smooth-talking lawyers make things complicated. Hold-ups we understand.

That car in front of me, the one with only a driver when the signs demand at least two in the car, is merrily going along, passing all the law-abiding motorists stacked up in the other lanes. He or she is going to get away with the crime -- again -- because the plan by Tx-DOT to shame such cretins into paying their fines by posting their names online is laughable. They have no shame. So Ashby’s Axiom of Anger demands that I call a cop. Except that the car has a 100 Club decal.

Feeling secure in Oak ForestPosted to THE LEADER on FacebookThe individual residents raised over $200k for the security

program. Way to go Oak Forest residents! And thanks to the nu-merous businesses who sponsored the security program and the wine extravaganza security fundraiser. This is such an amazing community effort.

Kathy Wyrick

Posted to THE LEADER on FacebookSo proud of our Oak Forest residents for working together to

get this program started. Plus many thanks to the Oakie angels who sponsored vets, elderly, neighbors, etc and our generous business donors. And thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of residents who signed up for the program along with other generous donors. What a great community we live in. It was truly a team effort for what our neighborhood wanted.

Nora Loera

Posted to THE LEADER on FacebookIt was a huge effort that I was proud to take part in. We truly

appreciate our fellow neighbors for trusting us to be stewards of their money, safety, and security. We truly believe this will have a positive impact in Oak Forest. We couldn’t have done it without everyone’s support.

Tracy Brandon

Posted to THE LEADER on FacebookYou didn’t have everyone’s support. You had muscle and control

to silence the opposition. Very different. If the HOA and their friends hadn’t deleted the opposing posts off the neighborhood facebook page and deleted the people who posted them, people would know exactly why people oppose it.

St. Pius X volleyball raises $1,500 in “Pink Out Cancer” game

Breast cancer awareness is an issue that is very close to members of the St. Pius X volleyball team.

The program raised $1,500 for the Sideout Foundation, in which “every penny raised, every donation goes to breast cancer awareness,” according to SPX director of volleyball operations Joan Smith.

It was the third “Pink Out” event for the program, which has raised a total of about $8,500 over that time span.

The varsity, junior varsity and fresh-man teams sold T-shirts and accepted donations before and during their Oct. 1 match against Beaumont Kelly. The concession stand sold pink cup-

cakes and other “Pink Out” themed items.

St. Pius X head of school Sister Donna Pollard said the event was an

important one for the school.“I think it’s a great event to raise

awareness for cancer,” Pollard said.

“It’s a real good way to visually see and remember people that some of their families have lost to cancer.”

Senior Kaylee Zarosky recognized her grandmother, Deanna Hepper, before the game started. Hepper is currently battling breast cancer.

“I don’t want to lose loved ones and no one wants to lose loved ones,” Zarosky said. “It’s great that we’re do-ing this.”

The event also struck a chord with senior Kelly Stewart and freshman Ka-tie Stewart, who lost their grandmoth-er, Mary Hartigan, to breast cancer in 2011.

“We’re raising money so people won’t have to be negatively affected by it anymore,” Kelly said.

The Houston Heights Association would like to add a fi fth deputy from Harris County Precinct One Constable Alan Rosen’s offi ce to its contracted se-curity, but that will take about 250 more subscribers, according to HHA vice president of operations and fi nance Bill Baldwin.

“We’re not in a position to promise a (fi fth) deputy, but that’s our objective,” Baldwin said Tuesday. “At the mini-mum, we’ll keep what we have.”

HHA added a fourth deputy on Oct.

5. HHA currently has 1,060 subscrib-ers to the security program, which costs $299 per year (cash/check) or $310 per year (credit card)

Rosen was the guest speaker at Mon-day’s HHA meeting and answered ques-tions from the approximately 70 resi-dents who attended, emphasizing the importance of increased communica-tion between residents and his offi ce.

“Everybody can be eyes and ears for us,” Rosen said.

Rosen talked about the new, free

Crime Alert program in which residents can sign up for text messages and e-mails or both, alerting them on crime in the Heights.

The Constable’s offi ce has also pur-chased new software that Rosen says will “better predict when crimes are happening.”

Rosen said his offi ce is working with HHA representatives to set up the fi rst Heights Citizens Patrol. The Constable will train volunteers on what to do and what not to do as a citizen’s patrol unit.

$17,000 corporate donations that the HOA received.

Fisher-Cain said Perry Homes approached the HOA with the donation a few days after a meet-ing between HOA offi cials and businesses. Perry Homes has at least 30 homes in Oak Forest.

The HOA also received $2,000 from Oakington Realty.

Fisher-Cain said exceeding the fi nancial goal means that the HOA will be able to contract with S.E.A.L.S. for more hours than expected.

The original plan was three of-fi cers at eight hours per day. They could increase the hours to 10 per offi cer.

The HOA raised $27,311 at the Taste of Oak Forest Wine Extrav-aganza on Sept. 28. That fi gure isn’t included in the $216,280.

The security committee met

on Tuesday to discuss several op-tions, including using the wine proceeds toward hiring a fourth offi cer. Adding hours for the three offi cers is also an option.

It’s also possible that the wine proceeds will go toward future se-curity expenses, serving as some-thing of a security rainy day fund, said Fisher-Cain.

S.E.A.L.S. director of opera-tions James Alexander attended the meeting and assured residents of his fi rm’s commitment to their security.

“In the end, you all pulled to-gether and your board worked extremely hard to get this done,” Alexander said. “We’ll work twice as hard for you.”

S.E.A.L.S. will protect all resi-dents, but subscribers will get special benefi ts such as vacation checks.

home and being a coach at the gym,” Dida said. “I know it takes a lot so I’m thankful for him.”

The boxing tradition may continue for the family. Younger brother, Oscar III, is a 9-year-old who’s en-tering the Golden Glove Youth Boxing ranks.

And their mother, Jessica Orozco, a 1994 Reagan alum, practices but doesn’t compete against her daughters.

“I’ve sparred with them, but they’re stronger than me,” she said. “At fi rst, I was nervous about them box-ing. I thought they’d be models or singers. They be-gan hitting the bag at home. All I do is support them, and I’m there for them.”

News of the Gonzalez sisters’ success has reached the halls of Reagan where they regularly receive ku-dos.

“Especially after the tournament,” Dida said. “Even the teachers at (Reagan) said ‘Hey, I didn’t even know you were a boxer’.”

Even if they reach their goal of competing in the Olympics, the Gonzalez sisters hope to compete be-yond that.

“I want to travel the world with my sister, loving (the sport) together,” Melanie said.

Prepared as a public service to promote better dental health. From the office of: Chase Baker, D.D.S.,

3515 Ella Blvd., 713-682-4406.

If you have a child whose first permanent molars are now in place, it is important to keep these teeth free from decay. Permanent

molars help determine the position of the child’s other permanent teeth as they replace their primary teeth. One method your dentist may recommend to protect the first permanent molars from decay is the use of a bonded sealant. This is a painless procedure that requires no drilling. After the molars have been cleaned, they are etched with a mild acid to re-move bacterial plaque and other surface material. This treatment also makes the tooth enamel more porous so the adhesive bond or sealant will be as strong as possible. The sealant acts as a bar-rier against the accumulation of bacteria that causes decay on the chewing surfaces of the teeth. Bonded sealants provide a long-lasting protective film. When the sealant becomes worn, further applications can be made as needed to protect the tooth from decay. Be sure to check with your dentist to see if a bonded sealant may be recommended for your child.

Ben Franklin once wrote, “If you are nished changing, you are nished.” As one of our nation’s founders, Franklin understood the importance of lifelong mental activity

and striving for excellence in everything you do. Franklin also understood the importance of Christian morality for our nation, because shared Christian morality makes for peaceful communities of citizens. In one of Franklin’s nal letters, he wrote to the preacher Whit eld about the desire to work together to found a “planned community” of devout Christians. That community was one invention that Franklin did not live long enough to nish.

For us, strengthening the community of believers is a lofty goal. Christians know that our efforts on earth come after, and in response to, the full forgiveness that Jesus earned for us. Sadly, many people live as if they have tomorrows without end on earth no matter how they behave or what they believe. Jesus warned that such is not the case. Those who are changed by God and gifted with eternity have divine forgiveness. Forgiveness is yours through faith in Jesus. Throughout life, God continues to develop and improve us, until He takes us into eternity. Only after the last day do I suspect we are nished changing to get better.

Our faith community at Gethsemane Lutheran has been gathering for over sixty years to study the Bible, worship, work, and enjoy each other’s company. Some of our people have been here right from the start. No one this side of heaven has achieved perfection. Just because humans cannot ever achieve our own perfection does not mean we’ve given up working to change ourselves and our community for the better. We need help from God. We have help from God. We live for God. Would you like to give it a try?

G ethsem ane Lutheran C hurch will celebrate its 60th anniversary on O c-tober 27th with a special service followed by a catered lunch. Bible class will be at 9:15 and worship service at 10:30. The 60th anniversary m essage will be delivered by the Rev. Ken H ennings, president of the LC M S Texas D istrict.

The church had its start when a group of Lutherans m et in the sum m er of 1952 to form a “m ission” church in the O ak Forest area. The fi rst preaching services were conducted in D ecem ber 1952 in a fi re station at 822 W. 34th St. that also housed the G arden O aks C ivic C enter. G ethsem ane Lutheran C hurch becam e the congregation’s offi cial nam e on M arch 8, 1953 and the Rev. C arl Schm idt was installed as G ethsem ane’s fi rst pastor August 16, 1953.

Five charter m em bers still attend the church and fondly rem em ber those fi rst fi re station services. In July of 1954 the congregation bought property at 4040 Watonga Blvd.

C onstruction began in O ctober 1954 and the fi rst sanctuary was dedicated on April 24, 1955. M em bers volunteered much of the construction labor. The original building rem odeled in 1998 now houses the G ethsem ane Pre-school. The present sanctuary was dedicated in 1967. In 1998 the com bina-tion gym nasium and Life C enter was dedicated.

The Rev. D avid H erm ann served as senior pastor from 1959 until 1964 when the Rev. Eugene E. H eckm an was installed as G ethsem ane’s third se-nior pastor, a position he held until he retired in 1998. The Rev. John C ain was installed as associate pastor in 1996 and as the church’s forth senior pastor in January 1999, a position he still holds.

Tickets for the lunch are priced at $10 and m ay be purchased by calling the church offi ce at 713-688-5227. Ticket sales will end on Wednesday, O ctober 24 and tickets will not be sold at the door.

Where does one find art in the Heights on any given day? Well known are awesome galleries, artist studios, three outdoor art venues now ( including my baby, the First Sat-urday Arts M a r k e t ) , and pub-lic art on both public and private properties.

T h e r e are unusual places to find art, too, such as under or printed in your dinner menu, at hair salons, the optometrist’s of-fice, the local theater, real estate offices and many more. Here are a few that that have regular business hours all month.

Let’s start with retail. The first is probably the oldest in the area, Casa Ramirez Folkart Gallery lo-cated at 241 W. 19th Street. In addition to the fantastic Mexi-can imports, much of which are handcrafted, Macario and Chris-sie Ramirez, the couple who own the store, have always been huge supporters of artists with a focus on Hispanic arts. Just recently, Ramirez was recognized as a city Hispanic Heritage Award 2013 winner for community arts by the mayor’s office.

Hello-Lucky at 1025 Studewood not only showcases independent artists and designers, but there are regular fashion and art shows and a monthly art market outside on the second Saturdays. Propri-etor Teresa O’Conner is an artist herself, and most days you’ll find her working on her own art, when she’s not making the store even

more enticing. Just across the street, you’ll see

another artist’s latest endeavor, Stephanie Lienhard’s Sparrow and the Nest, a boutique specializing in handcrafted items for the home and body. The best part is the very talented Lienhard offers classes, too. Got the artistic urge? Check them out.

Moving around to White Oak, there are two spots right now that offer unique walls for art. Bomb-shell Hair Salon, moved into one of the new retail spots on White Oak last summer at 2802 White Oak Drive Dr. Jill Johnson’s truck may ring a bell for you – it’s the Chevy Blazer painted with candy apple red and white stripes with carousel horses in the back. John-son’s grand opening was an art show featuring many of her art car friends and area artists and con-tinues to this day. A good one to keep on your radar.

Just west of Onion Creek is the Montrose Skate Shop at the corner of Oxford. About once a month the very small space on the west side of the building is the impromptu The Gallery at 3202 White Oak. I like names that tell you what and where a business is. Husband and wife artist team Gordon and Tara Greenleaf are fully immersed in the Heights art culture, and thus their openings can be pretty grand affairs. Best bet is to like their Facebook page to keep an eye on them.

Coffee, beer, wine and art. Great combo, right? Antidote Coffee is located at 729 Studewood ,and from the day they opened had lo-cal artist’s work on the walls and still do. I know a secret, though: Many of the artists live within walking distance.

While on the coffee circuit

check out Boomtown Coffee at 242 W. 19th just across the street from Casa Ramirez. The walls are always adorned with local artists, and like Antidote, some really good ones, too. Both have frequent receptions.

I’d be remiss if I did not men-tion another shop on 19th, Erica DelGardo Jewelry Designs at 327 W. 19th St. Erica is a metal jeweler who used to be a regular at the First Saturday Arts Market regu-larly, except the weekend she mar-ried her husband, Chris. Several years ago they took another big leap and opened her storefront. Now in their second location on 19th, Erica showcases many other local jewelers work as well.

Word is that artist Melinda Patrick has filled the walls of Salé Sucré French Restaurant at 2916 White Oak. While dining, look un-der your plate and you’ll see more artwork by local artists right on the table tops. In Vietnam Restau-rant at 605 W. 19th Street the walls are adorned with original works from some very well known artists that live right here in the Heights, and yes, their art is duplicated in the menu too.

Want to see one of my originals? Visit Dr. Lisa Woo’s optometry of-fice at 432 W 19th St. It’s the big red painting on the wall to the right.

That’s a lot of places to check out for local art here in the Heights, and not one gallery, market or open studio mentioned. Happy shopping, sipping and clipping (for those inclined to see Jill).

Now for the more conventional venues:

Many Oktoberfest traditions and a wide variety of German food and beer were introduced to Houston for the first time in 2012. The festival will combine a nostalgic feeling of old German tradition, as well as a unique mix of local German flair.

One of the biggest attractions at Oktoberfest is the beer, and there will be plenty at the festival, including some local

brews. Oktoberfest Houston will be held at the northwest parking lot of Northwest Mall at 9800 Hempstead Road. For more information, visit http://www.oktober-festhouston.com.

Davila first applied for a liquor license for the Mexican eatery at 3452 Ella Blvd. in Oak Forest last November, and has, on occasion, been providing free margaritas on weekends and special occasions.

The restaurant is open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch and dinner and maintains an active Facebook page.

Trucking into MangumMangum Food Park is planning its grand

opening from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Oct. 19 at 2924 Mangum Road, north of Highway 290.

Food trucks scheduled for opening day include Angie’s Cake, Pho-jita Fusion, The Hungry Lumberjack, Cupcake and a Smile and POCKet to Me. For more, visit www.mangumfoodpark.com.

Stardig, Ron Hale and Mike Knox. Two other Leader-area council-members, Ellen Cohen in District C and Ed Gonzalez in District H, drew no opponents.

In Houston ISD, a majority of trustees – fi ve -- are up for elec-tion. One of them is board presi-dent and Leader-area trustee Anna Eastman, who’s being challenged by Hugo Mojica, a longtime edu-cator and community leader.

Houston Community College Trustee Yolanda Navarro Flores has drawn Zeph Capo and Kevin J. Hoffman as opponents in her race for re-election.

There are two Harris County bond measures on the ballot. One has been discussed for years and will fi nally come to a head. It seeks approval for $217 million to rede-velop the Astrodome -- and an in-crease in taxes to fi nance it.

Election • from Page 1A
