CRIMINALOF THE WEEK
By Elsa MaxeyAbout another five per-
cent reduction in the Fort Bend Independent School Districtrsquos workforce has taken place in an attempt to help it with next yearrsquos budget The budget will be reduced by the statersquos shortchang-ing allotment to FBISD as a result of its own budget woes and that reduction amount estimated to range between $35 to $74 mil-lion is hopefully more likely $40 million according to Tracy Hoke FBISDrsquos Chief Financial Officer
On Monday a total of 483 jobs were announced for elimina-tion during a special school board meeting Of the 483 68 employ-ees with professional positions will soon find out if they havenrsquot already that they will be losing
their jobs Fourteen of them are in temporary positions and another 14 are those in a probationary status category which means they are not eligible for a resignation incentive package The remaining number of employees however will qualify for it
Also those voluntarily resign-ing will not be eligible for dis-charge hearings before the board and that concerned at least one audience member an attorney attending the board meeting who said that is how the school district would skirt not having to pay for unemployment benefits Human Resources Director Rhonda McWilliams who confirmed it said that since the termination would be voluntary and accom-panied by an incentive package
a hearing would essentially be forfeited
District officials said cutting the 68 jobs will save them $41 million Together with the other eliminated jobs accounting for over 400 positions due to attrition and to those opting for voluntary resignations with a 10 percent base salary incentive package after the board approved it on March 7 McWilliams said dis-trict will be saving $30 million with the elimination of the 483 positions Board member Marilyn Glover said they tried to show as much caring as a board not-ing that the resignation incentive package was generous in com-parison to other districts which only offered $500
Pink slips were handed out on Friday reports the Fort Bend Employee Federation which said the district forced critical area educators in science math lan-guages and special education with long time experience
FBISD board member Laurie Caldwell said during the board meeting that she knows what it feels like A math teacher in another school district reportedly in Alief she was informed that her position was being terminat-ed also because of budget cuts
The school board said it would have preferred not to cut teachers and Daniel Menendez said that state law mandates that teachers not being retained the follow-ing year must know with at least 45 days remaining in the cur-rent school year According to FBISD this is just the beginning of budget cuts and it will later be dealing with administrative cuts which are not time sensitive as is the case with teaching posi-tions Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney said the cuts would be about seven to seven plus per-cent cuts in administration and for everyone and Tier One was the first $30 million cut
Before the vote the board of trustees along with Dr Jenney and other administrative staff met in a closed executive session for an hour and a half as a roomful of about 50 in addition to school district staff waited to hear about the staff cuts and the amendment

By LeaAnne Klentzman For the second time in as many
weeks Missouri City police are searching for intruders that posed as police officers during a home invasion robbery
Tuesday night March 30 about 930 pm a Missouri City family was at home in their Olympia Estates home on Aegean Drive in Missouri City when they heard the front door crash in and men yelling police When the homeowner was located hiding in a closet with his young daugh-ter he was forced out at gunpoint
The armed intruders demanded money
The homeowners complied and gave up what cash they had and the intruders ran from the house
The suspects in this case were reported to be black males In a similar case last week the sus-pects were reportedly Hispanic males Anyone with information on either of these incidents is asked to contact Missouri City police at 281-403-8700 or Fort Bend Crime Stoppers at 281-342-TIPS

Parents needed to sponsor foreign exchange students in Fort Bend
Parents are needed to sponsor foreign exchange students and the economy may be putting a damp-er on volunteers who are afraid of the extra expense says Stan Wolenski a Pecan Grove resident and a representative of Cultural Academic Student Exchange (CASE)
Wolenski says the cost of pro-viding a home for these students is nominal ldquoThey come with an allowance and insurance so the cost is nominal and the rewards are phenomenalrdquo Wolenski says
CASE is a non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to placing foreign exchange students with American host families All students arrive with their own spending money and insurance and all the host family needs to do is provide a loving home food and board As an incentive current IRS regula-tions allow a $50 per month tax credit for the host families
ldquoDue to current economic con-ditions we have many students
who have not been placed Our students hail from countries such as Vietnam China Germany Brazil and many other Asian European and South American countries They are generally exceptionally well behaved
Since these kids do not speak perfect English although most do speak English and canrsquot drive they are somewhat at your mercy They usually adhere to the rules
quite wellrdquo he laughedHost families must undergo a
background check to rule out drug use and other crimes of moral tur-pitude Most people sail through the qualification process which usually takes about a week to complete
For additional information on the program contact Wolenski at 832-875-7888 or e-mail him at stanleycustomyahoocom

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony
Pay less to cut down trees instead of moving them then pay for some more so that taxpayers be badly groovinrsquohellipwould prob-ably be how the rapperrsquos song could continue

One of the great benefits of rock climbing is the fun and joy it brings you Climbing is chal-lenging and taking on the new challenge can be very reward-ing Working up a good sweat having fun with your friends or finishing that route by climbing to the top is satisfying

Scout cookie season But not only did they test their skills at rock climbing the girls from Troop 721 tested their trust of each other ndash as each girl was given the opportunity to ldquobelayrdquo another girl When you belay you literally hold your partnerrsquos life in your hands so you need do it right - every time

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony
Pay less to cut down trees instead of moving them then pay for some more so that taxpayers be badly groovinrsquohellipwould prob-ably be how the rapperrsquos song could continue
Why not transplant insteadTree cutting questioned

We love to answer questions
A teen dies in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week A total of 3932 teen-agers ages 16 to 20 died in traffic related crashes in 2009 The fatality rate for driv-ers 16 to 19 based on miles driven is four times higher than for driv-ers ages 25 to 69 In spite of this teen driv-ers and passengers especially young men are among those least likely to wear their seat belts More than half the teens killed in traffic crashes in 2009 were not buckled up
Parents it is critical that you emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts No seat belt can mean no future There is nothing a police officer dreads
more than having to notify a parent that their teen has been killed in a car crash An unnec-essary traffic related death is devastating to the parents and loved ones of the teen What a waste of a young life
This time of year teens are gearing up for a variety of events Proms graduations and parties are coming up Once again parents please ask your teenagers to wear their seat belts
As police officers we will do our part in trying to keep your teenager safe The Missouri City Police Department will take part in the ldquoNational Click it or Ticket Mobilizationrdquo from May 23 through June 5 A zero-tolerance policy for teens as well as other motorists caught not wearing seat belts will be ticketed and fined
Remember everyone in a motor vehicle must have their seat belt on

A growing population and increased business growth along State Highway 6 is driv-ing continued need for road-way improvements that should be complete later this year In Missouri City construction now is underway for raised medians from Dulles Avenue to past the Fort Bend Toll Road and just south of Darby Lane The Texas Department of Transportation is managing the overall project which begins at I-10 to fill in the gaps where medians currently do not exist along this Highway 6 corridor During the next three months work will concentrate from Voss Road in Sugar Land and through Missouri City
She pointed out that where space allows there will be median openings to allow turns much like other sections of Highway 6 in Houston and Sugar Land that currently have raised medians
During construction three lanes will continue to be avail-able for motorists both north- and southbound Marvin also said that traffic control mark-ers including cones and barrels will be in place to alert motor-ists of intermittent turn lane closures at traffic signals
Project planning began in 2006 with the Houston-Galveston Area Council man-aging an access management study It was based on histori-cal mobility patterns and traffic analysis from I-10 to south of the Fort Bend Toll Road Four public hearings were held to obtain citizen feedback the lat-est in 2010 Missouri Cityrsquos Traffic Management Plan shows daily traffic counts between Dulles and Lake Olympia to be 23000 and 27000 each way or around 50000 motorists in 2008 Projections for 2015 are for 53000 traffic movements in the Riverstone area around 64000 near Lake Olympia
and nearly 70000 by Sienna Parkway
ldquoWe have received calls from residents concerned that medi-ans will prevent their making immediate turns across traffic into shopping areasrdquo Marvin said ldquoIt is true that our traf-fic patterns will change much like they have in other areas of the Houston region where raised medians have been in place for years Where median cuts are not available residents can safely use traffic signals for turn movements Based on these changing traffic patterns the second phase of this project begins later this spring with the addition of turn lanes at major intersectionsrdquo
She also suggested residents take advantage of access man-agement already built into this corridor through such streets as Hampton Road which allows rear access to businesses on the northwest side of Highway 6 at Murphy Road Those conduct-ing business on the south side of Highway 6 can travel a continu-ous interior roadway through parking lots north from Murphy Road to Riverstone Boulevard eliminating the need for travel on Highway 6 Intermittent traf-fic signals on Highway 6 that are accessible along this route allow access to businesses on the north side of the highway
Depending on the width of the raised medians they will have a concrete surface a brick looking surface or grass
Federal matching funds will pay for 80 of the median proj-ect through Missouri City with the City contributing $398000
Construction information is available on the Cityrsquos web-site wwwmissouricitytxgov Just click on ldquoSpring Roadway Constructionrdquo under Hot Topics Updates also will be available on Missouri City Television
Progress continues to assure safe access along Highway 6

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

For the soldiers the cookies are shipped to various Military bases around the world through Houston Marine Moms The girls also write notes from

Tobacco Free Fort Bend meets ldquoWinston Manrdquo
Register now for musical theatre summer camps
The Sugar Land Democrats Club held their third 2011 educational forum series with a discussion on how to cre-ate Sustainable Buildings and Communities Ms Lora-Marie Bernard Executive Director of the US Green Building Council Houston Chapter was the key-note speaker Bernard gave an overview of the highly success-ful USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) programs She ompli-mented the City of Sugar Land officials for their strong interest to learn more about the LEED programs The newly built Sugar Land Fire Station on Brooks Street is a LEED Certified build-ing
Over 1 billion square feet of commercial real estate is now
LEED Certified or higher and in year 2010 the ldquogreenrdquo con-struction market value surpassed $54 billion LEED has four lev-els that a developer can seek to achieve ie Certified Silver Gold and Platinum It is a rat-ings based system with points assigned for achieving certain prerequisites and goals
For example for the Sugar Land Baseball Park stadium to achieve a LEED Silver status it would need to acquire 50 points minimum out of a possible 110 points These points come from five areas Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy Efficiency Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality Mr ldquoQrdquo Imam Co-Chair reminded the audience ldquoOne of the environ-
mental goals of the Sugar Land Democrats Club is to persuade the city officials of Sugar Land to require all commercial build-ings in Sugar Land to reach a USGBC LEED Silver level or higherrdquo
To learn more about the USGBC LEED programs please visit wwwusgbcorg
On Saturday April 16 1030am to 1230pm Sugar Land Democrats Club will have a forum on Education and will invite all FBISD school board candidates who will have oppor-tunity to introduce themselves Venue will be held at Sugar Land Branch Library 550 Eldridge Sugar Land Mr Steve Brown Chairman of the Fort Bend County Democratic Party will moderate

Olson throws pitch in honor of fallen Marine
Olson speaks to friends and family of Garrett Gamble Garretts Mother Michelle looks on with her hus-band and son
Congressman Pete Olson was on hand to throw out the first pitch for Garrett Gamble day at the West Sugar Land Little League this past week
The second annual day hon-ors the local Sugar Land hero and fallen Marine Boy Scouts from local troop 38 were also in attendance to conduct a flag cer-
emony honoring the day Olson addressed the crowd of little league fans along with friends and family of Lance Corporal Garrett Gamble
ldquoIt was truly an honor to stand in the long shadow of this great young man who exemplifies selfless heroism Remembering his actions on a Little League
field is a fitting opportunity to teach other young people what genuine heroism is and gives them someone to look up to Words cannot describe our grati-tude for his sacrifice and service to our country May each of us remember him and all those that have defended our liberty Semper Fi Garrettrdquo
On March 24 2011 mem-bers of Tobacco Free Fort Bend attended the Texas Conference Against Tobacco in Tyler at the UT-Tyler campus While at the conference members met Dave Goerlitz a professional actor producer public speaker and educator best known for his role as the ldquoWinston Manrdquo in RJ Reynolds lucrative ldquoSearch amp Rescuerdquo advertisement series
In November of 1988 Goerlitz took a historic stand against the tobacco industry and condemned the tobacco indus-tryrsquos advertising He alleged tobacco advertisements target young people of the world and addicts several thousand young people every week to tobacco products

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

Parents needed to sponsor foreign exchange students in Fort Bend
Parents are needed to sponsor foreign exchange students and the economy may be putting a damp-er on volunteers who are afraid of the extra expense says Stan Wolenski a Pecan Grove resident and a representative of Cultural Academic Student Exchange (CASE)
Wolenski says the cost of pro-viding a home for these students is nominal ldquoThey come with an allowance and insurance so the cost is nominal and the rewards are phenomenalrdquo Wolenski says
CASE is a non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to placing foreign exchange students with American host families All students arrive with their own spending money and insurance and all the host family needs to do is provide a loving home food and board As an incentive current IRS regula-tions allow a $50 per month tax credit for the host families
ldquoDue to current economic con-ditions we have many students
who have not been placed Our students hail from countries such as Vietnam China Germany Brazil and many other Asian European and South American countries They are generally exceptionally well behaved
Since these kids do not speak perfect English although most do speak English and canrsquot drive they are somewhat at your mercy They usually adhere to the rules
quite wellrdquo he laughedHost families must undergo a
background check to rule out drug use and other crimes of moral tur-pitude Most people sail through the qualification process which usually takes about a week to complete
For additional information on the program contact Wolenski at 832-875-7888 or e-mail him at stanleycustomyahoocom

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony
Pay less to cut down trees instead of moving them then pay for some more so that taxpayers be badly groovinrsquohellipwould prob-ably be how the rapperrsquos song could continue

A teen dies in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week A total of 3932 teen-agers ages 16 to 20 died in traffic related crashes in 2009 The fatality rate for driv-ers 16 to 19 based on miles driven is four times higher than for driv-ers ages 25 to 69 In spite of this teen driv-ers and passengers especially young men are among those least likely to wear their seat belts More than half the teens killed in traffic crashes in 2009 were not buckled up
Parents it is critical that you emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts No seat belt can mean no future There is nothing a police officer dreads
more than having to notify a parent that their teen has been killed in a car crash An unnec-essary traffic related death is devastating to the parents and loved ones of the teen What a waste of a young life
This time of year teens are gearing up for a variety of events Proms graduations and parties are coming up Once again parents please ask your teenagers to wear their seat belts
As police officers we will do our part in trying to keep your teenager safe The Missouri City Police Department will take part in the ldquoNational Click it or Ticket Mobilizationrdquo from May 23 through June 5 A zero-tolerance policy for teens as well as other motorists caught not wearing seat belts will be ticketed and fined
Remember everyone in a motor vehicle must have their seat belt on

A growing population and increased business growth along State Highway 6 is driv-ing continued need for road-way improvements that should be complete later this year In Missouri City construction now is underway for raised medians from Dulles Avenue to past the Fort Bend Toll Road and just south of Darby Lane The Texas Department of Transportation is managing the overall project which begins at I-10 to fill in the gaps where medians currently do not exist along this Highway 6 corridor During the next three months work will concentrate from Voss Road in Sugar Land and through Missouri City
She pointed out that where space allows there will be median openings to allow turns much like other sections of Highway 6 in Houston and Sugar Land that currently have raised medians
During construction three lanes will continue to be avail-able for motorists both north- and southbound Marvin also said that traffic control mark-ers including cones and barrels will be in place to alert motor-ists of intermittent turn lane closures at traffic signals
Project planning began in 2006 with the Houston-Galveston Area Council man-aging an access management study It was based on histori-cal mobility patterns and traffic analysis from I-10 to south of the Fort Bend Toll Road Four public hearings were held to obtain citizen feedback the lat-est in 2010 Missouri Cityrsquos Traffic Management Plan shows daily traffic counts between Dulles and Lake Olympia to be 23000 and 27000 each way or around 50000 motorists in 2008 Projections for 2015 are for 53000 traffic movements in the Riverstone area around 64000 near Lake Olympia
and nearly 70000 by Sienna Parkway
ldquoWe have received calls from residents concerned that medi-ans will prevent their making immediate turns across traffic into shopping areasrdquo Marvin said ldquoIt is true that our traf-fic patterns will change much like they have in other areas of the Houston region where raised medians have been in place for years Where median cuts are not available residents can safely use traffic signals for turn movements Based on these changing traffic patterns the second phase of this project begins later this spring with the addition of turn lanes at major intersectionsrdquo
She also suggested residents take advantage of access man-agement already built into this corridor through such streets as Hampton Road which allows rear access to businesses on the northwest side of Highway 6 at Murphy Road Those conduct-ing business on the south side of Highway 6 can travel a continu-ous interior roadway through parking lots north from Murphy Road to Riverstone Boulevard eliminating the need for travel on Highway 6 Intermittent traf-fic signals on Highway 6 that are accessible along this route allow access to businesses on the north side of the highway
Depending on the width of the raised medians they will have a concrete surface a brick looking surface or grass
Federal matching funds will pay for 80 of the median proj-ect through Missouri City with the City contributing $398000
Construction information is available on the Cityrsquos web-site wwwmissouricitytxgov Just click on ldquoSpring Roadway Constructionrdquo under Hot Topics Updates also will be available on Missouri City Television
Progress continues to assure safe access along Highway 6

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005

side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment

Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

Parents needed to sponsor foreign exchange students in Fort Bend
Parents are needed to sponsor foreign exchange students and the economy may be putting a damp-er on volunteers who are afraid of the extra expense says Stan Wolenski a Pecan Grove resident and a representative of Cultural Academic Student Exchange (CASE)
Wolenski says the cost of pro-viding a home for these students is nominal ldquoThey come with an allowance and insurance so the cost is nominal and the rewards are phenomenalrdquo Wolenski says
CASE is a non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to placing foreign exchange students with American host families All students arrive with their own spending money and insurance and all the host family needs to do is provide a loving home food and board As an incentive current IRS regula-tions allow a $50 per month tax credit for the host families
ldquoDue to current economic con-ditions we have many students
who have not been placed Our students hail from countries such as Vietnam China Germany Brazil and many other Asian European and South American countries They are generally exceptionally well behaved
Since these kids do not speak perfect English although most do speak English and canrsquot drive they are somewhat at your mercy They usually adhere to the rules
quite wellrdquo he laughedHost families must undergo a
background check to rule out drug use and other crimes of moral tur-pitude Most people sail through the qualification process which usually takes about a week to complete
For additional information on the program contact Wolenski at 832-875-7888 or e-mail him at stanleycustomyahoocom

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony
Pay less to cut down trees instead of moving them then pay for some more so that taxpayers be badly groovinrsquohellipwould prob-ably be how the rapperrsquos song could continue

One of the great benefits of rock climbing is the fun and joy it brings you Climbing is chal-lenging and taking on the new challenge can be very reward-ing Working up a good sweat having fun with your friends or finishing that route by climbing to the top is satisfying
Girl Scouts from Troops 721 and 724 in Rainbow Stars Service Unit went to Stone Moves to test their rock climb-ing skills and celebrate Girl
Scout cookie season But not only did they test their skills at rock climbing the girls from Troop 721 tested their trust of each other ndash as each girl was given the opportunity to ldquobelayrdquo another girl When you belay you literally hold your partnerrsquos life in your hands so you need do it right - every time

A teen dies in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week A total of 3932 teen-agers ages 16 to 20 died in traffic related crashes in 2009 The fatality rate for driv-ers 16 to 19 based on miles driven is four times higher than for driv-ers ages 25 to 69 In spite of this teen driv-ers and passengers especially young men are among those least likely to wear their seat belts More than half the teens killed in traffic crashes in 2009 were not buckled up
Parents it is critical that you emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts No seat belt can mean no future There is nothing a police officer dreads
more than having to notify a parent that their teen has been killed in a car crash An unnec-essary traffic related death is devastating to the parents and loved ones of the teen What a waste of a young life
This time of year teens are gearing up for a variety of events Proms graduations and parties are coming up Once again parents please ask your teenagers to wear their seat belts
As police officers we will do our part in trying to keep your teenager safe The Missouri City Police Department will take part in the ldquoNational Click it or Ticket Mobilizationrdquo from May 23 through June 5 A zero-tolerance policy for teens as well as other motorists caught not wearing seat belts will be ticketed and fined

A growing population and increased business growth along State Highway 6 is driv-ing continued need for road-way improvements that should be complete later this year In Missouri City construction now is underway for raised medians from Dulles Avenue to past the Fort Bend Toll Road and just south of Darby Lane The Texas Department of Transportation is managing the overall project which begins at I-10 to fill in the gaps where medians currently do not exist along this Highway 6 corridor During the next three months work will concentrate from Voss Road in Sugar Land and through Missouri City
She pointed out that where space allows there will be median openings to allow turns much like other sections of Highway 6 in Houston and Sugar Land that currently have raised medians
During construction three lanes will continue to be avail-able for motorists both north- and southbound Marvin also said that traffic control mark-ers including cones and barrels will be in place to alert motor-ists of intermittent turn lane closures at traffic signals
Project planning began in 2006 with the Houston-Galveston Area Council man-aging an access management study It was based on histori-cal mobility patterns and traffic analysis from I-10 to south of the Fort Bend Toll Road Four public hearings were held to obtain citizen feedback the lat-est in 2010 Missouri Cityrsquos Traffic Management Plan shows daily traffic counts between Dulles and Lake Olympia to be 23000 and 27000 each way or around 50000 motorists in 2008 Projections for 2015 are for 53000 traffic movements in the Riverstone area around 64000 near Lake Olympia
and nearly 70000 by Sienna Parkway
ldquoWe have received calls from residents concerned that medi-ans will prevent their making immediate turns across traffic into shopping areasrdquo Marvin said ldquoIt is true that our traf-fic patterns will change much like they have in other areas of the Houston region where raised medians have been in place for years Where median cuts are not available residents can safely use traffic signals for turn movements Based on these changing traffic patterns the second phase of this project begins later this spring with the addition of turn lanes at major intersectionsrdquo
She also suggested residents take advantage of access man-agement already built into this corridor through such streets as Hampton Road which allows rear access to businesses on the northwest side of Highway 6 at Murphy Road Those conduct-ing business on the south side of Highway 6 can travel a continu-ous interior roadway through parking lots north from Murphy Road to Riverstone Boulevard eliminating the need for travel on Highway 6 Intermittent traf-fic signals on Highway 6 that are accessible along this route allow access to businesses on the north side of the highway
Depending on the width of the raised medians they will have a concrete surface a brick looking surface or grass
Federal matching funds will pay for 80 of the median proj-ect through Missouri City with the City contributing $398000
Construction information is available on the Cityrsquos web-site wwwmissouricitytxgov Just click on ldquoSpring Roadway Constructionrdquo under Hot Topics Updates also will be available on Missouri City Television
Progress continues to assure safe access along Highway 6

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

Parents needed to sponsor foreign exchange students in Fort Bend
Parents are needed to sponsor foreign exchange students and the economy may be putting a damp-er on volunteers who are afraid of the extra expense says Stan Wolenski a Pecan Grove resident and a representative of Cultural Academic Student Exchange (CASE)
Wolenski says the cost of pro-viding a home for these students is nominal ldquoThey come with an allowance and insurance so the cost is nominal and the rewards are phenomenalrdquo Wolenski says
CASE is a non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to placing foreign exchange students with American host families All students arrive with their own spending money and insurance and all the host family needs to do is provide a loving home food and board As an incentive current IRS regula-tions allow a $50 per month tax credit for the host families
ldquoDue to current economic con-ditions we have many students
who have not been placed Our students hail from countries such as Vietnam China Germany Brazil and many other Asian European and South American countries They are generally exceptionally well behaved
Since these kids do not speak perfect English although most do speak English and canrsquot drive they are somewhat at your mercy They usually adhere to the rules
quite wellrdquo he laughedHost families must undergo a
background check to rule out drug use and other crimes of moral tur-pitude Most people sail through the qualification process which usually takes about a week to complete
For additional information on the program contact Wolenski at 832-875-7888 or e-mail him at stanleycustomyahoocom

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony
Pay less to cut down trees instead of moving them then pay for some more so that taxpayers be badly groovinrsquohellipwould prob-ably be how the rapperrsquos song could continue

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony

A teen dies in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week A total of 3932 teen-agers ages 16 to 20 died in traffic related crashes in 2009 The fatality rate for driv-ers 16 to 19 based on miles driven is four times higher than for driv-ers ages 25 to 69 In spite of this teen driv-ers and passengers especially young men are among those least likely to wear their seat belts More than half the teens killed in traffic crashes in 2009 were not buckled up
Parents it is critical that you emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts No seat belt can mean no future There is nothing a police officer dreads
more than having to notify a parent that their teen has been killed in a car crash An unnec-essary traffic related death is devastating to the parents and loved ones of the teen What a waste of a young life
This time of year teens are gearing up for a variety of events Proms graduations and parties are coming up Once again parents please ask your teenagers to wear their seat belts
As police officers we will do our part in trying to keep your teenager safe The Missouri City Police Department will take part in the ldquoNational Click it or Ticket Mobilizationrdquo from May 23 through June 5 A zero-tolerance policy for teens as well as other motorists caught not wearing seat belts will be ticketed and fined
Remember everyone in a motor vehicle must have their seat belt on

A growing population and increased business growth along State Highway 6 is driv-ing continued need for road-way improvements that should be complete later this year In Missouri City construction now is underway for raised medians from Dulles Avenue to past the Fort Bend Toll Road and just south of Darby Lane The Texas Department of Transportation is managing the overall project which begins at I-10 to fill in the gaps where medians currently do not exist along this Highway 6 corridor During the next three months work will concentrate from Voss Road in Sugar Land and through Missouri City
She pointed out that where space allows there will be median openings to allow turns much like other sections of Highway 6 in Houston and Sugar Land that currently have raised medians
During construction three lanes will continue to be avail-able for motorists both north- and southbound Marvin also said that traffic control mark-ers including cones and barrels will be in place to alert motor-ists of intermittent turn lane closures at traffic signals
Project planning began in 2006 with the Houston-Galveston Area Council man-aging an access management study It was based on histori-cal mobility patterns and traffic analysis from I-10 to south of the Fort Bend Toll Road Four public hearings were held to obtain citizen feedback the lat-est in 2010 Missouri Cityrsquos Traffic Management Plan shows daily traffic counts between Dulles and Lake Olympia to be 23000 and 27000 each way or around 50000 motorists in 2008 Projections for 2015 are for 53000 traffic movements in the Riverstone area around 64000 near Lake Olympia
and nearly 70000 by Sienna Parkway
ldquoWe have received calls from residents concerned that medi-ans will prevent their making immediate turns across traffic into shopping areasrdquo Marvin said ldquoIt is true that our traf-fic patterns will change much like they have in other areas of the Houston region where raised medians have been in place for years Where median cuts are not available residents can safely use traffic signals for turn movements Based on these changing traffic patterns the second phase of this project begins later this spring with the addition of turn lanes at major intersectionsrdquo
She also suggested residents take advantage of access man-agement already built into this corridor through such streets as Hampton Road which allows rear access to businesses on the northwest side of Highway 6 at Murphy Road Those conduct-ing business on the south side of Highway 6 can travel a continu-ous interior roadway through parking lots north from Murphy Road to Riverstone Boulevard eliminating the need for travel on Highway 6 Intermittent traf-fic signals on Highway 6 that are accessible along this route allow access to businesses on the north side of the highway
Depending on the width of the raised medians they will have a concrete surface a brick looking surface or grass
Federal matching funds will pay for 80 of the median proj-ect through Missouri City with the City contributing $398000
Construction information is available on the Cityrsquos web-site wwwmissouricitytxgov Just click on ldquoSpring Roadway Constructionrdquo under Hot Topics Updates also will be available on Missouri City Television
Progress continues to assure safe access along Highway 6

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment

Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony
Pay less to cut down trees instead of moving them then pay for some more so that taxpayers be badly groovinrsquohellipwould prob-ably be how the rapperrsquos song could continue

We love to answer questions
A teen dies in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week A total of 3932 teen-agers ages 16 to 20 died in traffic related crashes in 2009 The fatality rate for driv-ers 16 to 19 based on miles driven is four times higher than for driv-ers ages 25 to 69 In spite of this teen driv-ers and passengers especially young men are among those least likely to wear their seat belts More than half the teens killed in traffic crashes in 2009 were not buckled up
Parents it is critical that you emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts No seat belt can mean no future There is nothing a police officer dreads
more than having to notify a parent that their teen has been killed in a car crash An unnec-essary traffic related death is devastating to the parents and loved ones of the teen What a waste of a young life
This time of year teens are gearing up for a variety of events Proms graduations and parties are coming up Once again parents please ask your teenagers to wear their seat belts
As police officers we will do our part in trying to keep your teenager safe The Missouri City Police Department will take part in the ldquoNational Click it or Ticket Mobilizationrdquo from May 23 through June 5 A zero-tolerance policy for teens as well as other motorists caught not wearing seat belts will be ticketed and fined
Remember everyone in a motor vehicle must have their seat belt on

A growing population and increased business growth along State Highway 6 is driv-ing continued need for road-way improvements that should be complete later this year In Missouri City construction now is underway for raised medians from Dulles Avenue to past the Fort Bend Toll Road and just south of Darby Lane The Texas Department of Transportation is managing the overall project which begins at I-10 to fill in the gaps where medians currently do not exist along this Highway 6 corridor During the next three months work will concentrate from Voss Road in Sugar Land and through Missouri City
She pointed out that where space allows there will be median openings to allow turns much like other sections of Highway 6 in Houston and Sugar Land that currently have raised medians
During construction three lanes will continue to be avail-able for motorists both north- and southbound Marvin also said that traffic control mark-ers including cones and barrels will be in place to alert motor-ists of intermittent turn lane closures at traffic signals
Project planning began in 2006 with the Houston-Galveston Area Council man-aging an access management study It was based on histori-cal mobility patterns and traffic analysis from I-10 to south of the Fort Bend Toll Road Four public hearings were held to obtain citizen feedback the lat-est in 2010 Missouri Cityrsquos Traffic Management Plan shows daily traffic counts between Dulles and Lake Olympia to be 23000 and 27000 each way or around 50000 motorists in 2008 Projections for 2015 are for 53000 traffic movements in the Riverstone area around 64000 near Lake Olympia
and nearly 70000 by Sienna Parkway
ldquoWe have received calls from residents concerned that medi-ans will prevent their making immediate turns across traffic into shopping areasrdquo Marvin said ldquoIt is true that our traf-fic patterns will change much like they have in other areas of the Houston region where raised medians have been in place for years Where median cuts are not available residents can safely use traffic signals for turn movements Based on these changing traffic patterns the second phase of this project begins later this spring with the addition of turn lanes at major intersectionsrdquo
She also suggested residents take advantage of access man-agement already built into this corridor through such streets as Hampton Road which allows rear access to businesses on the northwest side of Highway 6 at Murphy Road Those conduct-ing business on the south side of Highway 6 can travel a continu-ous interior roadway through parking lots north from Murphy Road to Riverstone Boulevard eliminating the need for travel on Highway 6 Intermittent traf-fic signals on Highway 6 that are accessible along this route allow access to businesses on the north side of the highway
Depending on the width of the raised medians they will have a concrete surface a brick looking surface or grass
Federal matching funds will pay for 80 of the median proj-ect through Missouri City with the City contributing $398000
Construction information is available on the Cityrsquos web-site wwwmissouricitytxgov Just click on ldquoSpring Roadway Constructionrdquo under Hot Topics Updates also will be available on Missouri City Television
Progress continues to assure safe access along Highway 6

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

Sugar Land Democrats hold educational forum
Tobacco Free Fort Bend meets ldquoWinston Manrdquo
Register now for musical theatre summer camps
The Sugar Land Democrats Club held their third 2011 educational forum series with a discussion on how to cre-ate Sustainable Buildings and Communities Ms Lora-Marie Bernard Executive Director of the US Green Building Council Houston Chapter was the key-note speaker Bernard gave an overview of the highly success-ful USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) programs She ompli-mented the City of Sugar Land officials for their strong interest to learn more about the LEED programs The newly built Sugar Land Fire Station on Brooks Street is a LEED Certified build-ing
Over 1 billion square feet of commercial real estate is now
LEED Certified or higher and in year 2010 the ldquogreenrdquo con-struction market value surpassed $54 billion LEED has four lev-els that a developer can seek to achieve ie Certified Silver Gold and Platinum It is a rat-ings based system with points assigned for achieving certain prerequisites and goals
For example for the Sugar Land Baseball Park stadium to achieve a LEED Silver status it would need to acquire 50 points minimum out of a possible 110 points These points come from five areas Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy Efficiency Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality Mr ldquoQrdquo Imam Co-Chair reminded the audience ldquoOne of the environ-
mental goals of the Sugar Land Democrats Club is to persuade the city officials of Sugar Land to require all commercial build-ings in Sugar Land to reach a USGBC LEED Silver level or higherrdquo

Olson throws pitch in honor of fallen Marine
Olson speaks to friends and family of Garrett Gamble Garretts Mother Michelle looks on with her hus-band and son
Congressman Pete Olson was on hand to throw out the first pitch for Garrett Gamble day at the West Sugar Land Little League this past week
The second annual day hon-ors the local Sugar Land hero and fallen Marine Boy Scouts from local troop 38 were also in attendance to conduct a flag cer-
emony honoring the day Olson addressed the crowd of little league fans along with friends and family of Lance Corporal Garrett Gamble
ldquoIt was truly an honor to stand in the long shadow of this great young man who exemplifies selfless heroism Remembering his actions on a Little League
field is a fitting opportunity to teach other young people what genuine heroism is and gives them someone to look up to Words cannot describe our grati-tude for his sacrifice and service to our country May each of us remember him and all those that have defended our liberty Semper Fi Garrettrdquo
On March 24 2011 mem-bers of Tobacco Free Fort Bend attended the Texas Conference Against Tobacco in Tyler at the UT-Tyler campus While at the conference members met Dave Goerlitz a professional actor producer public speaker and educator best known for his role as the ldquoWinston Manrdquo in RJ Reynolds lucrative ldquoSearch amp Rescuerdquo advertisement series
In November of 1988 Goerlitz took a historic stand against the tobacco industry and condemned the tobacco indus-tryrsquos advertising He alleged tobacco advertisements target young people of the world and addicts several thousand young people every week to tobacco products

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

destructionhellipthese are the rhyth-mic words of what could be in a rapperrsquos song yet itrsquos the underly-ing theme of a current situation
About a half dozen mature trees have been cut to make way for the expansion of a road in a Sugar Land subdivision
The tree cutting has brought up concerns about what can be done to prevent their continu-ing destruction like transplanting them either in the neighborhood or elsewhere
One resident said she under-stood the need to remove the trees in the Brazos Landing subdivi-sion where University Boulevard is undergoing expansion ldquoWe see pictures of city officials in tree planting ceremonies throughout the area but why cut trees which were already paid for by the tax payersrdquo she questions ldquoMaybe they can use these trees for their tree planting ceremonies do their bit for the environment at the same time and save some money for the tax payers toordquo
Confirming what is understood city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquoThese are trees within the right of way that impede con-structionrdquo Their removal was discussed with the current owner who was provided with an oppor-tunity to do that if there was an interest in keeping them Adolph explained He also said that tree relocation for the road project ldquowould be cost prohibitive for the city and is not consistent with pre-vious practicerdquo noting that tree removal for road projects is not uncommon
The city will implement a land-scape project to address the beau-tification of the corridor following the construction of the roadway according to Adolph So it looks like city taxpayers could be paying for trees and other greenery there and this may end up being part of another tree planting ceremony
Pay less to cut down trees instead of moving them then pay for some more so that taxpayers be badly groovinrsquohellipwould prob-ably be how the rapperrsquos song could continue
Why not transplant insteadTree cutting questioned

We love to answer questions
A teen dies in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week A total of 3932 teen-agers ages 16 to 20 died in traffic related crashes in 2009 The fatality rate for driv-ers 16 to 19 based on miles driven is four times higher than for driv-ers ages 25 to 69 In spite of this teen driv-ers and passengers especially young men are among those least likely to wear their seat belts More than half the teens killed in traffic crashes in 2009 were not buckled up
Parents it is critical that you emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts No seat belt can mean no future There is nothing a police officer dreads
more than having to notify a parent that their teen has been killed in a car crash An unnec-essary traffic related death is devastating to the parents and loved ones of the teen What a waste of a young life
This time of year teens are gearing up for a variety of events Proms graduations and parties are coming up Once again parents please ask your teenagers to wear their seat belts
As police officers we will do our part in trying to keep your teenager safe The Missouri City Police Department will take part in the ldquoNational Click it or Ticket Mobilizationrdquo from May 23 through June 5 A zero-tolerance policy for teens as well as other motorists caught not wearing seat belts will be ticketed and fined
Remember everyone in a motor vehicle must have their seat belt on

A growing population and increased business growth along State Highway 6 is driv-ing continued need for road-way improvements that should be complete later this year In Missouri City construction now is underway for raised medians from Dulles Avenue to past the Fort Bend Toll Road and just south of Darby Lane The Texas Department of Transportation is managing the overall project which begins at I-10 to fill in the gaps where medians currently do not exist along this Highway 6 corridor During the next three months work will concentrate from Voss Road in Sugar Land and through Missouri City
She pointed out that where space allows there will be median openings to allow turns much like other sections of Highway 6 in Houston and Sugar Land that currently have raised medians
During construction three lanes will continue to be avail-able for motorists both north- and southbound Marvin also said that traffic control mark-ers including cones and barrels will be in place to alert motor-ists of intermittent turn lane closures at traffic signals
Project planning began in 2006 with the Houston-Galveston Area Council man-aging an access management study It was based on histori-cal mobility patterns and traffic analysis from I-10 to south of the Fort Bend Toll Road Four public hearings were held to obtain citizen feedback the lat-est in 2010 Missouri Cityrsquos Traffic Management Plan shows daily traffic counts between Dulles and Lake Olympia to be 23000 and 27000 each way or around 50000 motorists in 2008 Projections for 2015 are for 53000 traffic movements in the Riverstone area around 64000 near Lake Olympia
and nearly 70000 by Sienna Parkway
ldquoWe have received calls from residents concerned that medi-ans will prevent their making immediate turns across traffic into shopping areasrdquo Marvin said ldquoIt is true that our traf-fic patterns will change much like they have in other areas of the Houston region where raised medians have been in place for years Where median cuts are not available residents can safely use traffic signals for turn movements Based on these changing traffic patterns the second phase of this project begins later this spring with the addition of turn lanes at major intersectionsrdquo
She also suggested residents take advantage of access man-agement already built into this corridor through such streets as Hampton Road which allows rear access to businesses on the northwest side of Highway 6 at Murphy Road Those conduct-ing business on the south side of Highway 6 can travel a continu-ous interior roadway through parking lots north from Murphy Road to Riverstone Boulevard eliminating the need for travel on Highway 6 Intermittent traf-fic signals on Highway 6 that are accessible along this route allow access to businesses on the north side of the highway
Depending on the width of the raised medians they will have a concrete surface a brick looking surface or grass
Federal matching funds will pay for 80 of the median proj-ect through Missouri City with the City contributing $398000
Construction information is available on the Cityrsquos web-site wwwmissouricitytxgov Just click on ldquoSpring Roadway Constructionrdquo under Hot Topics Updates also will be available on Missouri City Television
Progress continues to assure safe access along Highway 6

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

Tobacco Free Fort Bend meets ldquoWinston Manrdquo
Register now for musical theatre summer camps
The Sugar Land Democrats Club held their third 2011 educational forum series with a discussion on how to cre-ate Sustainable Buildings and Communities Ms Lora-Marie Bernard Executive Director of the US Green Building Council Houston Chapter was the key-note speaker Bernard gave an overview of the highly success-ful USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) programs She ompli-mented the City of Sugar Land officials for their strong interest to learn more about the LEED programs The newly built Sugar Land Fire Station on Brooks Street is a LEED Certified build-ing
Over 1 billion square feet of commercial real estate is now
LEED Certified or higher and in year 2010 the ldquogreenrdquo con-struction market value surpassed $54 billion LEED has four lev-els that a developer can seek to achieve ie Certified Silver Gold and Platinum It is a rat-ings based system with points assigned for achieving certain prerequisites and goals
For example for the Sugar Land Baseball Park stadium to achieve a LEED Silver status it would need to acquire 50 points minimum out of a possible 110 points These points come from five areas Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy Efficiency Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality Mr ldquoQrdquo Imam Co-Chair reminded the audience ldquoOne of the environ-
mental goals of the Sugar Land Democrats Club is to persuade the city officials of Sugar Land to require all commercial build-ings in Sugar Land to reach a USGBC LEED Silver level or higherrdquo

Olson throws pitch in honor of fallen Marine
Olson speaks to friends and family of Garrett Gamble Garretts Mother Michelle looks on with her hus-band and son
Congressman Pete Olson was on hand to throw out the first pitch for Garrett Gamble day at the West Sugar Land Little League this past week
The second annual day hon-ors the local Sugar Land hero and fallen Marine Boy Scouts from local troop 38 were also in attendance to conduct a flag cer-
emony honoring the day Olson addressed the crowd of little league fans along with friends and family of Lance Corporal Garrett Gamble
ldquoIt was truly an honor to stand in the long shadow of this great young man who exemplifies selfless heroism Remembering his actions on a Little League
field is a fitting opportunity to teach other young people what genuine heroism is and gives them someone to look up to Words cannot describe our grati-tude for his sacrifice and service to our country May each of us remember him and all those that have defended our liberty Semper Fi Garrettrdquo
On March 24 2011 mem-bers of Tobacco Free Fort Bend attended the Texas Conference Against Tobacco in Tyler at the UT-Tyler campus While at the conference members met Dave Goerlitz a professional actor producer public speaker and educator best known for his role as the ldquoWinston Manrdquo in RJ Reynolds lucrative ldquoSearch amp Rescuerdquo advertisement series
In November of 1988 Goerlitz took a historic stand against the tobacco industry and condemned the tobacco indus-tryrsquos advertising He alleged tobacco advertisements target young people of the world and addicts several thousand young people every week to tobacco products

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

We love to answer questions
A teen dies in a traffic crash an average of once every hour on weekends and nearly once every two hours during the week A total of 3932 teen-agers ages 16 to 20 died in traffic related crashes in 2009 The fatality rate for driv-ers 16 to 19 based on miles driven is four times higher than for driv-ers ages 25 to 69 In spite of this teen driv-ers and passengers especially young men are among those least likely to wear their seat belts More than half the teens killed in traffic crashes in 2009 were not buckled up
Parents it is critical that you emphasize the importance of wearing seat belts No seat belt can mean no future There is nothing a police officer dreads
more than having to notify a parent that their teen has been killed in a car crash An unnec-essary traffic related death is devastating to the parents and loved ones of the teen What a waste of a young life
This time of year teens are gearing up for a variety of events Proms graduations and parties are coming up Once again parents please ask your teenagers to wear their seat belts
As police officers we will do our part in trying to keep your teenager safe The Missouri City Police Department will take part in the ldquoNational Click it or Ticket Mobilizationrdquo from May 23 through June 5 A zero-tolerance policy for teens as well as other motorists caught not wearing seat belts will be ticketed and fined
Remember everyone in a motor vehicle must have their seat belt on

A growing population and increased business growth along State Highway 6 is driv-ing continued need for road-way improvements that should be complete later this year In Missouri City construction now is underway for raised medians from Dulles Avenue to past the Fort Bend Toll Road and just south of Darby Lane The Texas Department of Transportation is managing the overall project which begins at I-10 to fill in the gaps where medians currently do not exist along this Highway 6 corridor During the next three months work will concentrate from Voss Road in Sugar Land and through Missouri City
She pointed out that where space allows there will be median openings to allow turns much like other sections of Highway 6 in Houston and Sugar Land that currently have raised medians
During construction three lanes will continue to be avail-able for motorists both north- and southbound Marvin also said that traffic control mark-ers including cones and barrels will be in place to alert motor-ists of intermittent turn lane closures at traffic signals
Project planning began in 2006 with the Houston-Galveston Area Council man-aging an access management study It was based on histori-cal mobility patterns and traffic analysis from I-10 to south of the Fort Bend Toll Road Four public hearings were held to obtain citizen feedback the lat-est in 2010 Missouri Cityrsquos Traffic Management Plan shows daily traffic counts between Dulles and Lake Olympia to be 23000 and 27000 each way or around 50000 motorists in 2008 Projections for 2015 are for 53000 traffic movements in the Riverstone area around 64000 near Lake Olympia
and nearly 70000 by Sienna Parkway
ldquoWe have received calls from residents concerned that medi-ans will prevent their making immediate turns across traffic into shopping areasrdquo Marvin said ldquoIt is true that our traf-fic patterns will change much like they have in other areas of the Houston region where raised medians have been in place for years Where median cuts are not available residents can safely use traffic signals for turn movements Based on these changing traffic patterns the second phase of this project begins later this spring with the addition of turn lanes at major intersectionsrdquo
She also suggested residents take advantage of access man-agement already built into this corridor through such streets as Hampton Road which allows rear access to businesses on the northwest side of Highway 6 at Murphy Road Those conduct-ing business on the south side of Highway 6 can travel a continu-ous interior roadway through parking lots north from Murphy Road to Riverstone Boulevard eliminating the need for travel on Highway 6 Intermittent traf-fic signals on Highway 6 that are accessible along this route allow access to businesses on the north side of the highway
Depending on the width of the raised medians they will have a concrete surface a brick looking surface or grass
Federal matching funds will pay for 80 of the median proj-ect through Missouri City with the City contributing $398000
Construction information is available on the Cityrsquos web-site wwwmissouricitytxgov Just click on ldquoSpring Roadway Constructionrdquo under Hot Topics Updates also will be available on Missouri City Television
Progress continues to assure safe access along Highway 6

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment

Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

By Elsa MaxeyLast month Stafford Municipal
School District (SMSD) asked the community and staff to com-plete a survey to be used as part of its search for a new superin-tendent and the survey included profile criteria that had been used in 2006
SMSD Trustee Ettienne Zak took exception with two charac-teristics in the superintendent pro-file information and the majority of the school board agreed They retracted part of the survey last week due to what it called an inaccuracy said the district
A statement from the district said that the information fur-nished for the search with the two offending characteristics
was never intended as such and had been sent only to share 2006 former superintendent search language for assessment
The part of the survey which caused the consternation was the part that said ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board but will not buckle to individual agendasrdquo although the characteristic in the 2006 brochure had been ldquoresponds to and respects the role of the board and administrationrdquo That same 2006 brochure with the superintendent characteristics also saidldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisionsrdquo The corresponding retracted language on this char-acteristic however was changed
Stafford Municipal School District retracts part of superintendent search criteria to say ldquodemonstrates the abil-ity to make and defend difficult decisions even though unpopu-lar if they are best for students This specifically includes dealing with local independent groupsrdquo
When asked by the ldquoStarrdquo
Superintendent HD Chambers concurred that the 2006 criteria had been modified however he said it was retracted altogether and would not be used in the current superintendent search ldquoThe original profile in 2006 had
certain criteria and we wanted to make sure that the community understood we would be using things that are more relevant todayrdquo he said about the surveys due this week
Chambers starts working
with the Alief school district on Monday Currently former Fort Bend ISD Superintendent Betty Baitland is serving as SMSDrsquos interim superintendent until the board hires Chambersrsquo replacement
Since it was created in 1946 Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District (WCID) No 2 has been provid-ing water amp sewer services to area customers in its district and itrsquos making plans to continue that work with bonds amounting to $319 million subject to voter approval
The district will go to voters with a bond package on May 14th to finance projects that are required by law Also some of the projects include facilities in need of repair and upgrade like on Brand Lane which is being expanded by the City of Stafford and even projects for the future growth expected in this area
Last year Fort Bend County WCID No 2 went to the vot-ers with an almost identical bond package like the one currently proposed It failed when it did not receive a majority of votes for passage Subject to voter approval this May the district proposes to fund the projects with bonds pay-able from property taxes instead
Fort Bend WCID No 2 proposes funding with bondsof from water and sewer rates
In about a month the districtrsquos registered voters will get to decide once again and they will be asked to vote at their precincts dur-ing early voting and on Election Day Opting to contract with Fort Bend County for the election is a decision that was made by the districtrsquos Board of Directors
This time the amount of the bond package has been reduced due to delaying several of the projects Also the district will fund two other projects the Vacarro Manor and Crestmont Subdivision projects out of its operating funds
If the bond election fails again the district plans to issue revenue bonds payable from water and
sewer rates instead of from prop-erty taxes
General Manager Owen Matherne said Fort Bend County WCID No 2 has functioned with the approval of tax bonds by voters since the 1950rsquos ldquoToday wersquove got three times more water than we are using even after peak demandrdquo said Matherne in response to concerns about not having sufficient water capacity The district acquired its future water needs at 1994 rates approx-imately 300 lower than todayrsquos rates ldquoThis equates to a substan-tial savings for our customersrdquo states Matherne
The City of Stafford in which the district is headquartered is regarded as a state leader and
an exceptional example of how to run a city efficiently with a zero property tax ldquoWe feel that we have been part of that suc-cessrdquo said Matherne ldquoWersquove been a partner working alongside Stafford and other cities in our regional water service effort and Fort Bend County WCID No 2 will continue to fulfill its state authorized responsibilitiesrdquo
Fort Bend County WCID No2 is steadfast about continuing to provide its customers water for todayrsquos needs and those of the future It serves as a regional water and sewer service provider for all of Stafford parts of Missouri City Sugar Land and Houston and some unincorporated areas of Fort Bend and Harris County

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

The Sugar Land Democrats Club held their third 2011 educational forum series with a discussion on how to cre-ate Sustainable Buildings and Communities Ms Lora-Marie Bernard Executive Director of the US Green Building Council Houston Chapter was the key-note speaker Bernard gave an overview of the highly success-ful USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) programs She ompli-mented the City of Sugar Land officials for their strong interest to learn more about the LEED programs The newly built Sugar Land Fire Station on Brooks Street is a LEED Certified build-ing
Over 1 billion square feet of commercial real estate is now
LEED Certified or higher and in year 2010 the ldquogreenrdquo con-struction market value surpassed $54 billion LEED has four lev-els that a developer can seek to achieve ie Certified Silver Gold and Platinum It is a rat-ings based system with points assigned for achieving certain prerequisites and goals
For example for the Sugar Land Baseball Park stadium to achieve a LEED Silver status it would need to acquire 50 points minimum out of a possible 110 points These points come from five areas Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy Efficiency Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality Mr ldquoQrdquo Imam Co-Chair reminded the audience ldquoOne of the environ-
mental goals of the Sugar Land Democrats Club is to persuade the city officials of Sugar Land to require all commercial build-ings in Sugar Land to reach a USGBC LEED Silver level or higherrdquo

Olson throws pitch in honor of fallen Marine
Olson speaks to friends and family of Garrett Gamble Garretts Mother Michelle looks on with her hus-band and son
Congressman Pete Olson was on hand to throw out the first pitch for Garrett Gamble day at the West Sugar Land Little League this past week
The second annual day hon-ors the local Sugar Land hero and fallen Marine Boy Scouts from local troop 38 were also in attendance to conduct a flag cer-
emony honoring the day Olson addressed the crowd of little league fans along with friends and family of Lance Corporal Garrett Gamble
ldquoIt was truly an honor to stand in the long shadow of this great young man who exemplifies selfless heroism Remembering his actions on a Little League
field is a fitting opportunity to teach other young people what genuine heroism is and gives them someone to look up to Words cannot describe our grati-tude for his sacrifice and service to our country May each of us remember him and all those that have defended our liberty Semper Fi Garrettrdquo
On March 24 2011 mem-bers of Tobacco Free Fort Bend attended the Texas Conference Against Tobacco in Tyler at the UT-Tyler campus While at the conference members met Dave Goerlitz a professional actor producer public speaker and educator best known for his role as the ldquoWinston Manrdquo in RJ Reynolds lucrative ldquoSearch amp Rescuerdquo advertisement series
In November of 1988 Goerlitz took a historic stand against the tobacco industry and condemned the tobacco indus-tryrsquos advertising He alleged tobacco advertisements target young people of the world and addicts several thousand young people every week to tobacco products

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

The Sugar Land Democrats Club held their third 2011 educational forum series with a discussion on how to cre-ate Sustainable Buildings and Communities Ms Lora-Marie Bernard Executive Director of the US Green Building Council Houston Chapter was the key-note speaker Bernard gave an overview of the highly success-ful USGBC LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) programs She ompli-mented the City of Sugar Land officials for their strong interest to learn more about the LEED programs The newly built Sugar Land Fire Station on Brooks Street is a LEED Certified build-ing
Over 1 billion square feet of commercial real estate is now
LEED Certified or higher and in year 2010 the ldquogreenrdquo con-struction market value surpassed $54 billion LEED has four lev-els that a developer can seek to achieve ie Certified Silver Gold and Platinum It is a rat-ings based system with points assigned for achieving certain prerequisites and goals
For example for the Sugar Land Baseball Park stadium to achieve a LEED Silver status it would need to acquire 50 points minimum out of a possible 110 points These points come from five areas Sustainable Sites Water Efficiency Energy Efficiency Materials and Resources and Indoor Environmental Quality Mr ldquoQrdquo Imam Co-Chair reminded the audience ldquoOne of the environ-
mental goals of the Sugar Land Democrats Club is to persuade the city officials of Sugar Land to require all commercial build-ings in Sugar Land to reach a USGBC LEED Silver level or higherrdquo

Olson throws pitch in honor of fallen Marine
Olson speaks to friends and family of Garrett Gamble Garretts Mother Michelle looks on with her hus-band and son
Congressman Pete Olson was on hand to throw out the first pitch for Garrett Gamble day at the West Sugar Land Little League this past week
The second annual day hon-ors the local Sugar Land hero and fallen Marine Boy Scouts from local troop 38 were also in attendance to conduct a flag cer-
emony honoring the day Olson addressed the crowd of little league fans along with friends and family of Lance Corporal Garrett Gamble
ldquoIt was truly an honor to stand in the long shadow of this great young man who exemplifies selfless heroism Remembering his actions on a Little League
field is a fitting opportunity to teach other young people what genuine heroism is and gives them someone to look up to Words cannot describe our grati-tude for his sacrifice and service to our country May each of us remember him and all those that have defended our liberty Semper Fi Garrettrdquo
On March 24 2011 mem-bers of Tobacco Free Fort Bend attended the Texas Conference Against Tobacco in Tyler at the UT-Tyler campus While at the conference members met Dave Goerlitz a professional actor producer public speaker and educator best known for his role as the ldquoWinston Manrdquo in RJ Reynolds lucrative ldquoSearch amp Rescuerdquo advertisement series
In November of 1988 Goerlitz took a historic stand against the tobacco industry and condemned the tobacco indus-tryrsquos advertising He alleged tobacco advertisements target young people of the world and addicts several thousand young people every week to tobacco products

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment

Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment

Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

field is a fitting opportunity to teach other young people what genuine heroism is and gives them someone to look up to Words cannot describe our grati-tude for his sacrifice and service to our country May each of us remember him and all those that have defended our liberty Semper Fi Garrettrdquo

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment

How Involved Should I Be in My Childrsquos Academic Life
A parent wears many hats when it comes to helping a child do well in school such as coach and fitness trainer
A coach motivates and provides a game plan for success Positive motivation (ldquoGreat jobrdquo) believing in your child (ldquoI know you can do your bestrdquo) and providing performance
expectations encourage children to confidently rise to the occasion and meet that expectation Since fear can be a major block to effective learning a coach provides a game plan for success that helps students learn how to approach a big project or a complex math problem by breaking it down into smaller components A good coach will also show how each player contributes to overall success of the team This means a parent may need to show the child how homework assignments certain tough classes projects or complex math problems contributes to the overall success of the child academically
A fitness trainer helps develop discipline of good study habits such as staying organized and staying focused While study habits are great it is equally important to help your child study effectively and efficiently so they understand the material and perform well in school
The Mosaic Learning Center will be conducting a workshop on Saturday May 28th to help parents maximize the summer months to keep their child academically sharp in preparation for the new school year in the fall Cost is $25 per parent with lunch included To register email Melissa at melissamosaicpeopleorg or call 281-491-2000 for more information
Ed Lee is the founder and CEO of the Mosaic Learning Center former school teacher and educator has earned his doctorate degree and is an active member in the community committed to seeing children rise above both in academics and in good character

Doesnrsquot Hearing Loss Only Occur in the Elderly
No unfortunately hearing loss is more prevalent in the general population than people think There are many causes of hearing loss There are congenital hearing losses hearing loss present at birth and late onset hearing loss which occurs later in life
Congenital hearing losses can be due to genetic syndromes birth defects and prenatal infections where the mother passes the infection to the baby in the womb There are more than 400 known genetic syndromes related to hearing loss Prenatal infections such as toxoplasmosis rubella and herpes can contribute to hearing loss as well Birth defects such as structural abnormalities in the ear can occur in babies born prematurely
Late onset hearing loss can be related to medical conditions injury and medications Head injuries ear infections Menierersquos disease vascular diseases and immune diseases can increase the likelihood of developing a hearing loss Other infections such as meningitis mumps scarlet fever and measles can affect hearing Some medications which can be ototoxic are aminoglycosides loop diuretics antineoplastics salicylates and quinine The risk and use of these medications should be discussed with your prescribing physician The tendency to develop hearing loss as we age is related to a family history of hearing loss and repeated exposure to loud sounds or noises Smoking also has been found to increase the risk of developing a hearing loss
If you think you or someone you love may be experiencing difficulty hearing please contact us or your hearing healthcare provider to have a baseline hearing test performed as soon as possible

What are some of the advantages of refinishing
There are many ad-vantages of restoration verses replacement Like replacement there are
many choices of color and texture available for bathtubs and coun-ters but without the long wait time In just days not weeks you can update the appearance amp color of your bath or kitchen A concern of many people these days is the environment A study by the National Associa-tion of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) showed that remodeling can generate between 70 and 115 lbs of waste per SQUARE FOOT With refinishing of dam-aged and dated bathtubs sinks tile and countertops we are reducing the amount of unnecessary waste clogging landfills One of the best advantages is the cost savings You can extend the life of your bathtubs tile and coun-tertops for 15 years or more and save up to 75 over the cost of replacement

My vehicle shakes when I apply my brakes what would cause this to happen
If your vehicle shakes only when you apply the brakes it means that your brake rotor(s) or drum(s) has warped This creates high and low spots on the surface (in technical
terms ldquolateral run outrdquo) This can occur from braking excessively for long periods of time with too much pressure Heat from the application of brakes being applied causes this problem creating artificial hard spots in the rotor called cementite that will not wear down evenly In severe cases it may be necessary to replace the rotors However in most cases this is not an expensive repair because usually they can be ldquoturnedrdquo (resurfaced to make them true again) very inexpensively
On many foreign cars the manufacturers recommend replacing the rotors with every brake job Call around and ask places first ldquoHow much it will cost to turn the rotors on a (year make and model car) How much will it cost to replace them A fail safe method to always remember is The minimum thickness is stamped on the rotor so there should be no question on replacing the rotor (drum) or resurfacing Hopefully this will resolve your question or concern so now you can ldquorelax and enjoy the differencerdquo

ldquoTaking You To New Heights In Dialysis Therapyrdquo
By Elsa MaxeyThe home plate at the
Sugar Land Skeeterrsquos StarTex Power Field is in place offi-cially marking the ceremonial groundbreaking of the minor league professional baseball stadium set to open next year at around this time Minor league baseball Hall-of-Famer Brooks Robinson was unable to make it to the groundbreaking due to illness He has also been involved with making history in Sugar Land with what began as the formal signing of an agreement with Opening Day Partners less than a year ago
The groundbreaking this week took place at the site across the Sugar Land Regional Airport where the land is undergoing transforma-tion It is to the northeast of US Highway 90A on State Highway 6 and these days one can see the clearing for the stadium and ball field taking place on what seems like a daily basis
This ball park district is part
of the Imperial Project which includes other districts such as the former sugar factory refin-ery site currently being cleared for redevelopment
The Sugar Land city council awarded a $279 million con-tract to Barton MalowLinbeck recently as the designbuild contractor for the construction of the baseball stadium which is scheduled for opening in April 2012
The city reports that the sta-dium will be funded with a portion of sales tax revenues that may only be used for eco-nomic development purposes and states that no general fund tax dollars will be spent on the stadium
According to the city a cost-benefit analysis by Conventions Sports amp Leisure International conservatively estimates the project will gen-erate economic activity annu-ally of approximately $77 mil-lion or a net return of $169 million over 30 years on the investment of the city and ODP

Congressman Pete Olson was on hand to throw out the first pitch for Garrett Gamble day at the West Sugar Land Little League this past week

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness

FBISD to cut 483 jobs from page 1
FBISD candidates speak up at latest forum from page 1
the previous week But Jonita Reynolds who is running against Taylor has been present at both albeit moments after the session began last week but just in time to field the first question when it was her turn Incumbent Susan Hohnbaum who is running against Wade A Watassek also was not at the Marriott but she previously advised the employee union of a family event Hohnbaum however completed a question-naire and sent her responses
The candidates briefly answered questions posed by the employee federationrsquos President Karrie Washenfelder who also served as the modera-tor She said the employee fed-erationrsquos endorsements would be forthcoming probably sometime this week
The identified issues facing the school district were very similar and consistent among all the candidates mostly the budget communications and
zoning As for the others the audiencersquos approval of the responses was clearly under-stood with clapping and cheer-ing like for the one from Bruce Albright about more educa-tion in the classroom and less administrators
And his response to the Global Center that was to reportedly use earmarked bond money that he said the district indicates is off the table He said it is off for now suggesting that one take a look at the Virginia Beach Plan if you think that itrsquos off Clapping yearsquos and cheers were heard as he said his comment probably did not need clarification Superintendent Dr Timothy Jenney came to FBISD from the Virginia Beach public school system where he was superintendent from 1996 to 2005
Daniel Menendezrsquos comment about needing not to cut back in classrooms as opposed to aux-iliary personnel or those out-
side the classroom was received favorably as was Kevin Danielsrsquo comment about the superinten-dentrsquos contract needing to be the same length as teachersrsquo one year contract Positive feedback came from Wade Wattassekrsquos response about giving back bond money if nothing is being done with the funds
Rodrigo Carreon who is run-ning for the school board for the fourth time amused the audi-ence with his unique response to whether he supported a tax to supplement and make up for the statersquos refusal to fund public schools at a more appropriate level
Most of the respondents referred to a property tax but Carreon asked a tax of any kind He said he would support a sales tax for education like a snack tax on junk food sodas beer and candy A fat tax like that for a health fund which has been proposed in other parts of the country
to the resignation incentive pro-gram Among the audience were about 25 students from Thurgood Marshall High School who said their school was subjected to the highest number of teacher cuts and they were in attendance at the meeting to protest it
Then came a 5 to 2 vote with Daniel Menendez and Jim Babb voting against the measure that determined the fate of the 68 This of course is a sad and dif-ficult day and a decision that we have had to come to said board president Sonal Bhuchar
Other board action approved on Monday included the non-renewal of term employment contracts the termination of pro-bationary employment contracts and rescinding all prior certifi-cates of intent andor offers of conditional employment
George Holmes
George Holmes a Richmond resident and cancer survi-vor wearing a Prostate Cancer Awareness shirt completed the 26 mile route in support of the FBISD Education Foundation on March 26 2011
Diagnosed with Prostate Cancer at age 56 Holmes under-went radical prostatectomy approximately three years ago Holmes said he took up biking as a way to visibly demonstrate there is GOOD LIFE after pros-tate cancer and surgery
Holmes says he is a living example of how early detection of prostate cancer is the key to win-ning the battle Should surgery be recommended or required it should not be feared suggest-ing we can be Cancer Victims or CANCER VICTORS He intends to live as a VICTOR and hopes to continue biking as a means of increasing Prostate Cancer Awareness
