Brady Vs Carter: Court ruling Sugar Land hosts kite festival on defamation, public figure By SESHADRI KUMAR The Court of Appeals for the First District of Texas recently issued a precedentsetting opinion impacting the news media in general, in a defamation lawsuit against a local newspaper. LeaAnne Klentzman and Carter Publications, Inc. d/b/a The West Fort Bend Star, Inc. (“the Star”) filed an appeal complaining that the trial court erred in denying summary judgment relief in a lawsuit filed by Wade Brady, son of Craig Brady, deputy chief in the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s Office. Justices Evelyn Keyes, Elsa Alcala and Jim Taft affirmed the denial of summary judgment by the 240th District Court in Fort Bend County and remanded the case back to the trial court. The appeals court rejected all seven complaints made by the Star against the denial of summary judgment by the district court. The court rejected Star’s plea that Wade Brady should be treated as a “limited-purpose public figure” and hence need not show actual malice on the part of the Star to prove that he was defamed or libeled. Public figures suing a media for defamation must prove that the defendant published the statement with “actual malice.” “Having held that Wade was not a limited-purpose public figure, we reject appellants’ contention that Wade was required to prove actual malice as an essential element of his cause of action,” the court said. From August 2001 through May 2002, the Star published a number of opinion columns that included references to various incidents involving Chief Brady’s sons Wade and Cullen Brady and Chief Brady’s actions relative to such incidents or on behalf of his sons. None of those columns are the subject of the suit underlying this appeal. Among the incidents described in the opinion columns were the ticketing of Wade by sheriff’s deputies for a minorin-possession of alcohol (MIP) charge, and the stop and detention of Cullen and Wade by a Department of Public Safety trooper who had followed them to investigate suspected erratic driving by Cullen.
The opinion columns also described various actions that Chief Brady had allegedly taken on behalf of his sons, including conducting numerous tape-recorded meetings with the deputies who had been present when Wade was ticketed for MIP. Wade was later acquitted of the charge and an expunction order entered. On January 15, 2003, the Star published an article, written by Klentzman entitled, “Deputy Brady’s tape collecting called ‘Roadside Suppression.” This article is the subject of the lawsuit. The article stated that that since November 21, 2002, Chief Brady had been collecting audiotapes from deputies regarding Wade’s 2001 MIP charge; Recalled one of the incidents previously recounted in one of the columns Involving Wade’s report of a stolen cell phone and Chief’s Brady’s pursuit of the man who had Wade’s cell phone; Described testimony from the August 2002 trial of Wade’s MIP charge circumstances leading up to the ticket; Recalled the audio-taped meetings that Chief Brady had held with the deputies; Stated that the personnel of the sheriff’s office dubbed the numerous twilight meetings in various parking lots with the deputies who issued the ticket to “roadside suppression hearings” making jest of a maneuver by defense lawyers to keep evidence out of court; and Described that “in the DPS tape [of the stop] viewed by the Star ... Wade Brady was so unruly and intoxicated that the Trooper had to handcuff him and place him in the backseat of the police car for safety” and described other aspects of the stop based on the Star’s review of the tape. Wade brought the suit against appellants for libel based on statements in the January 15, 2003 article. He alleged that appellants published a writing that injured his reputation by “omitt[ing] material facts and therefore creating a misleading presentation of the factual circumstances regarding [his] trial and the unrelated stop by the DPS trooper.” He asserted that many of the statements in the articles were lies. The statement in the article, “[i]n the DPS videotape

viewed by the Star and then later obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, Wade Brady was so unruly and intoxicated that the Trooper had to handcuff him and place him in the backseat of police car for safety,” is opinion and, therefore non-actionable under Texas law, the Star argued. The complained-of assertion, which the article asserted was based on the DPS videotape, is a statement of fact, subject to the test of truth or falsity—not a statement of opinion, the court said. Moreover, the determination whether a publication is an actionable statement of fact or a protected expression of opinion depends upon a reasonable person’s perception of the entirety of the publication and not merely on individual statements. The article was presented to the public as a news story, not an editorial or other expression of opinion, the court noted. A person does not become a public figure merely because he is repeatedly “discussed” by a media defendant or because his actions become a matter of controversy as a result of the media defendant’s actions. Even engaging in criminal act does not make a person a limited-purpose public figure, the court said. “We conclude that the appellant did not establish as a matter of law that Wade is a limited-purpose public figure,” the justices said in the opinion. Appellants cited to their own prior columns in the Star where they “grouched and groaned” about Chief Brady, but the mere fact that appellants (and no other press) chose to write and publish opinion columns about Chief Brady is merely evidence of Star’s “concern,” not a “public” discussion of a “real question,” according to the ruling. Appellants argue that the fact that Wade is the son of the Chief Deputy causes him to be “the subject of public scrutiny” and that his various interactions with the law such as being handcuffed a week after the MIP stop by the DPS trooper, his calling of his father when someone stole his cell phone almost two years prior to the MIP stop as cause for “risk of exposure and injury to reputation” and made him a public figure. The fact that Wade represented himself in the MIP trial was also cited as a cause to treat him as a public figure. However, the mere fact that Wade’s father is a public official, and thus, that Wade’s behavior might be more “newsworthy” than a teen whose father was no public official does not mean that any alleged misbehavior would have made Wade a limited purpose public figure, the court said.

Kites of all shapes and sizes adorned the sky of Sugar Land Memorial Park, University Boulevard, on Saturday, Feb. 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., as the city celebrated its first ever Cultural Kite Festival. Kite flying is a popular activity and sport in many countries around the world, and became a local hit with an estimated 6,000 people attending the event. Residents of all backgrounds and ages enjoyed the festival aided by pleasant weather and favorable winds. Activities and entertainment included an opening ceremony of kites, a miniature kite museum showcasing the diversified history of kite making, kite flying lessons and competitions and various cultural performances. A kite-making workshop was held where children built their own kites and took them home as memorabilia.

Missouri City bans texting while driving By BARBARA FULENWIDER Missouri City council members are the first in Fort Bend County to approve an ordinance banning texting while driving in the city. Council approved the ordinance on first reading at its Feb. 1 meeting. The second reading on Feb. 15 is expected to get the same unanimous council approval. After the ordinance is approved, it will be unlawful for a driver to text while operating a motor vehicle and for a driver to view, send or compose an electronic message or engage with application software on a cell phone in Missouri City. The ordinance becomes effective June 1, 2010, and between now and then there will be a campaign informing citizens to get ready to cease and desist or be ticketed for disobeying the law. When the ordinance was first presented at council’s first meeting of the year it was written to prohibit the use of such devices for any purpose while driving a motor vehicle. Council ob-
jected to not being able to talk on a cell phone so the ordinance they voted on last week does not prohibit telephone conversations while driving. The ordinance also includes some affirmative defenses to prosecution should a person be ticketed. The defenses include dialing numbers or deactivating a phone call, driving an authorized government vehicle that is responding to emergencies, using GPS devices or getting emergency assistance. The proposed ordinance also includes an affirmative defense for drivers who are texting or using an application while stopped in a safe area or standing safely at the side of the road. Missouri City Attorney Caroline Kelley said, “Multiple cities (in Texas) have adopted the same law as Missouri City – West University, Bellaire, Austin. West University prohibits getting, sending and composing electronic messages, which involve texting and emailing while driving. Aus-

tin prohibits using a wireless communication device for messaging and other applications while driving.” “We tried to get all the types of activities that would entail typing on a wireless communication device and looking at a screen but talking per se on a phone is allowed. Our ordinance covers both reading and typing. If a person receives a text message (e-mail) while driving and looks down to read it, they will have committed an offense according to our ordinance,” Kelley said. Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald said that the federal government recently passed a law prohibiting texting by bus and truck drivers while on the road. The chief was also asked about warning signage. Fitzgerald said, “If we believe someone did it and came from one jurisdiction to another and we have the proper signage up then it’s against the law. We must educate everyone as much as we can before it becomes law.”

Community news Dora Olivo faces Ron Reynolds in March 2 Democratic primary for State Rep. Dist. 27 By SESHADRI KUMAR In the March 2 primary, the Dist. 27 State Rep. race is a repeat of the Democratic primary in 2008 as incumbent Dora Olivo is again challenged by Ron Reynolds, a Missouri City resident, attorney and community activist. Olivo has been elected for six terms so far. Olivo says “As a former school teacher, as an attorney, a community grass roots advocate, and as a mother and grandmother, I have fought to open the doors of government to serve the people and brought clear, proven results for my district and our state.” “I have successfully fought to increase funding for our public schools, create more accessible and affordable health care for our families and children, fought for common sense solutions to minimize taxes to help our small business owners, and have held government accountable at all levels to protect our environment and guard the rights of the elderly and the disabled in our communities,” she says. Olivo has received the endorsement of many Houston area legislators as she seeks re-election in 2010. “I am humbled by the support of so many of my colleagues in the Houston area,” says Olivo. Endorsing Olivo for re-election are State Senator Mario Gallegos and State Representatives Alma A. Allen, Carol Alvarado, Ellen
Press From Page 1 The private individual, unlike a public figure need prove only negligence on the part of the media defendant-that is, he must show that the defendant knew or have known that the defamatory statement was false-in order to recover actual damages, the court observed. The truth of a statement is an absolute defense to a claim for defamation. A true account is not actionable-regardless of the conclusions that people may draw so long as it does not create a substantially false and defamatory impression by omitting material facts or suggestively juxtaposing them in a misleading way. However, “literally or substantially true” facts which are “published in such a way that they create a substantially false and defamatory impression by omitting material facts or juxtaposing facts in a misleading way” are actionable as defamation. Therefore a defendant who “gets the details right but fails to put them in the proper context and gets the story’s ‘gist’ wrong” may be held liable for defamation. Whether a publication is false depends on a “reasonable person’s perception of the entirety of a publication and not merely on individual statements.” Conversely, liability is precluded when a defendant correctly conveys a story’s ‘gist’ or ‘sting’ although erring in details. This is known as the substantial truth doctrine. Under this doctrine, “minor inaccuracies do not amount to falsity ‘so long as the substance, the gist, the sting’ of the charge is justified,” the court observed. The Star contended that the “gist” of the article was that “Chief Deputy Brady repeatedly contacted, in an unusual manner and atypical manner, the deputies that issued [Wade] a ticket and subsequently circulated an expunction order to round up clandestine audiotapes of those meetings.” Wade argued that even if underlying statements in the articles are true, the ‘gist’ of the article is false through omission of material facts. The gist of the article was

Cohen, Garnet F. Coleman, Harold V. Dutton, Jr., Jessica Farrar, Ana E. Hernandez, Scott Hochberg, Kristi Thibaut, Senfronia Thompson, Sylvester Turner, Hubert Vo and Armando Walle. Olivo serves on the Public Education and Border and Intergovernmental Affairs Com wonmittees in the House. In the 2008 primary, Olivo won with a 187-vote margin over Reynolds. “Not only do I have a public, community-minded stake in the future and prosperity of Fort Bend, but a very personal one as well. Being at the forefront of advocating for education, healthcare and economic empowerment is who I am and what I’ve always been about,”Reynolds says. “When I’m elected as your
State Representative, I’ll be accessible, accountable and effective. That’s what the people of District 27 deserve. The residents need to know that I won’t quit-I’ll fight hard for them,” he says. This two-time Pinnacle Award winner is a successful small business owner. In recognition of Reynolds’ community service and astute business acumen, he is the recipient of numerous awards. Reynolds says he has received the endorsement of practically every major Democrat elected official in Fort Bend County. If elected, Reynolds would become the first African-American State Representative in the history of Fort Bend County. Early voting for the March 2 primary begins on Feb. 16.
Wade was using his father to suppress the judicial system. Wade contends that the Article paints a picture of Wade and his brother as “a sort of drunken ‘Dukes of Hazzard’ tandem who are fortunate enough to have Fort Bend County’s version of ‘Boss Hogg’ as their father to put the ‘fix’ on the system.” The target of the article was Chief Brady and not the son, the court noted. Wade’s summary judgment evidence included affidavits from all three deputies involved in issuing the ticket to Wade, in which the deputies specifically deny the claims of intimidation and coercion on the part of Chief Brady that underlie the article. The deputies’ affidavits and deposition excerpts, along with the transcript of an audiotape referenced in the article, also provide evidence that Chief Brady specifically told the deputies at one of the meetings that the article dubs a “Roadside Suppression Hearing,” that writing MIP ticket was “not a problem,” that they should proceed forward with Wade’s case and “do the whole thing,” and that a jury trial on the ticket would be a good learning experience for Wade, whom Chief Deputy Brady had recently caught drinking. The article omits reference to this portion of the audiotape that directly contradicts the article’s “gist” that Chief Deputy Brady was trying to “suppress” evidence for Wade’s benefit. The Star nevertheless argued that they were entitled to summary judgment because they conclusively established the article’s substantial truth by showing that its gist is not more damaging to Wade’s reputation in the mind of the average reader than the truth. The court concluded that evidence established that Chief Brady did not intimidate or coerce the deputies and consequently rejected the plea that the gist of the published statement did not harm Wade. Appellants have failed to conclusively establish that the gist of the Article was not more damaging to Wade’s reputation in the mind of the average reader than the truth, the court said.
Appellants invited the court to create a new category of limited-purpose public figures in Texas—an “involuntary” limited-purpose public figure, who becomes a public figure “when his or her conduct is related in an integral and meaningful way to the conduct of a public official”—and cite a decision from an intermediate Tennessee appeals court for support of this proposition. The court refused to depart from the well-established standard set out by the Texas Supreme Court in this regard and declined the invitation. According to Wade Brady he is entitled to the attorney fees he incurred in connection with the appeal and his attorney is making a claim of more than $50,000 on the Star. The Star and Klentzman are represented by Attorney John Edwards from the law firm Jackson Walker, LLP. We did not receive a response from Edwards regarding this opinion before press time.
Cystoscopy suite opens at Methodist Sugar Land Hospital Patients needing specialized urological testing and treatment can now be treated at Methodist Sugar Land Hospital’s newly opened cystoscopy suite. The cystoscopy procedure allows a physician to look at the inside of the bladder and the urethra using a thin, lighted instrument called a cystoscope. “Cystoscopy is not a surgical procedure requiring an incision but patients are usually uncomfortable about having it done,” says Dr. Henry Pham, urologist on staff at Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. “Having a room specially designed for cystoscopy, and for the patient’s comfort and ease, enables us to treat our patients with compassion while maximizing the test’s effectiveness.” The procedure is performed by inserting the cystoscope into the patient’s urethra and then slowly advancing it into the bladder.
urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, painful urination, incontinence, urinary retention and more. Using the cystoscope, the physician can examine the urethra, urinary channel and prostate, bladder and ureters. If abnormalities are discovered then treatment can be done without requiring an incision. Just in the past year, Methodist Sugar Land Hospital has added two Whole Body 3 Tesla MRIs, the industry’s most powerful technology typically found in the nation’s top academic medical centers; a 64-slice CT Scanner, one of the first units of its type in the Houston area; a full-service Breast Center and physical therapy including aquatics and occupational therapy.

Pham Cystoscopy allows physicians to look at areas of the bladder and urethra that usually do not show up well on X-rays. Tiny surgical instruments can be inserted through the cystoscope allowing the physician to remove samples of tissue, treat cancer of the bladder, treat prostate enlargement or treat urinary tract stones. Cystoscopies are typically performed to find the cause of
Columnist or reporter: Clarity sought To the Editor: I don’t read the Independent every week, but I try to. That said, after reading the 2/03/10 edition I decided to write to you about an article. I do not pretend to know what the editorial policy is for your newspaper, but it seems to me the basic purpose of any newspaper is to fairly and equally report the news, remaining completely unbiased in the process. Editorials and the opinions of columnists are a different matter, however, and therefore, are generally identified as being such. That does not seem to be the case with
Mary Cook’s article “Laura Ingraham Came To Dinner” in the 2/03/10 edition of the Independent. Since Ms. Cook was reporting on a Republican fund raising event, I was not surprised at all that the quotes were slanted to the right, but Ms Cook’s personal leanings came through quite clearly. So I went back and reread the article, thinking that perhaps it was being published as an “column,” but I didn’t find that to be the case. To the best of my determination, Ms. Cook is simply a reporter, and as such, shouldn’t she be “reporting”
rather than editorializing? As Editor, isn’t that your job? In a climate of hearing about the “liberal media” ad nauseum, I would think media outlets all over the country would be going out of their way to make sure their reporters remained politically neutral. If Ms. Cook is truly a reporter, she should be reporting. If she’s a columnist, she should be identified as such. Wes Pate Sugar Land (Mr. Pate is right. Ms. Cook is not a reporter and that should have been made clear. —Editor)

By RUSSELL C. JONES One of the great things about living in Fort Bend County is the abundance of opportunities to be of service to the community. From the Fort Bend Education Foundation to the Oaks At Rio Bend to Fort Bend Child Advocates, opportunities abound to volunteer or contribute to causes which are of direct benefit to the area. Last Friday night, the Fort Bend Corps held its annual Hearts & Hammers dinner at Safari Texas, celebrating the organization’s 10th anniversary. A large crowd of local dignitaries, contributors, volunteers, and supporters gathered to show its appreciation to Rob Castillo and his staff for their tireless effort in revitalizing low-income areas of Fort Bend County. The Corps’ primary task is to initiate and coordinate community efforts to restore safe and decent housing for low income, elderly and disabled homeowners who are physically and financially unable to make needed repairs to their homes. Its biggest project, known as Hearts & Hammers, utilizes volunteer crews to make critically needed exterior repairs. Crews are typically drawn from groups of volunteers from local corporations, churches, schools, and civic associations. Groups of 15 to 35 perform all the work needed on a particular house, and supply their own tools, ladders, scrapers, paintbrushes and hammers. The role of the Corps is to locate the house, qualify the homeowner, raise the money to pay for materials and coor-

comfort of your own home!” “Are you sure?” “Sonia, Believe me. We are going to give a firsthand experience at doing something unique for each other, rather than ordering things.” “I don’t know where you are going with this.” “First, let’s stop at the fresh fruits and vegetable section.” “And then?” “Let us pick up Romaine lettuce, spinach leaves, dark red and yellow bell peppers, onion, tomatoes, cucumber, cantaloupes, and mangoes.” “What is that for?” “Do you need an answer for everything?” I asked. “I thought you said that the couple should do things together. If so, both need to know what the other person is thinking.” “Well, you got me there. The lettuce is rich in fiber. The dark pigmented bell peppers are rich in anti-oxidants, cantaloupe has anti-aging ingredients. These agents are supposed to help rejuvenate youth. “With just one serving?” “No, but this is a new beginning. That is why we are going to have a perfect Valentine’s Day treat.” “Next, let us pick up some Olive oil and walnuts.” “Why?” She said. “You see, Olive oil is the best cooking oil with its rich monounsaturated fatty acids that keep cholesterol down.” “What about walnuts?” “Walnuts are rich in Omega-3 fatty-acids, which are well known to lower cholesterol. Besides, roasted walnuts taste great with a fancy salad.” “Who is going to the make the salad?” “The couple! Let us pick up some nice French or Italian red wine.”
“Why not beer or whisky?” “No, they do not give the same sensual experience as a glass of white or red wine on a romantic evening. Besides, red wine has been shown to reduce the incidence of heart disease in the French population.” “Are we talking about a Valentine’s Day treat or a lecture on healthy foods?” “Well I am showing you how to find the beauty in the beast.” “As long as you see it, let us proceed!” “Trust me, if you follow this dialogue to the end, you will know what I am talking about. “Next?” she said. “Let us move to the meat section and pick up some protein.” “Could you please speak English?” “O.K. do you want chicken, lean beef, lamb, or fish?” “Nik, since you seem to have an answer for everything, why don’t you help me choose.” “I do not have the answer to everything. I question everything just like you do. We plan to grill the meat for the main course of the dinner. Therefore, we need to select a lean-cut meat so that we can enjoy the Valentine’s Day dinner. Chicken has less fat when compared to beef, and so does lean lamb. “In fact, fish such as Salmon, tuna, or mackerel have high Omega-3 fatty acids, which help lower cholesterol. I think you should be fine with any one of those choices. You also need your favorite spices to marinate the meat before grilling it. “Then.” “We could also pick up some carrots rich in vitamins See DINNER, Page 7
Musings: How is business? By JANICE SCANLAN “Fort Bend County tops list by Forbes.com.” Nice headline by Zen G. Zheng of the Chronicle . . .and a nice place to be in countries outside major cities on Forbes’ list of Best Places to Get Ahead. But should we feel complacent? Most people I know don’t . . . and the reason is this list is the past three years. What are we doing to create a future? If Stafford’s decline in wholesale manufacturing sales tax doesn’t give you pause for thought, Zen Zheng’s headline directly above the Forbes story is “TASB study recommends FBISD staff cuts, but district is cautious.” This study only starts with support personnel. It recommends decreasing teaching staff and increasing class size from 22 to 23 in middle school and 24 in high school. And FBISD’s caution is likely the same as most businesses: it’s not fun to lay off workers so the early retirement road starts first. But many people have lengthened their retirement plans so if the district does take this road, there may ultimately be the hard choices. And that is 430 fewer jobs in Fort Bend. The bailout may have temporarily stemmed economic collapse on Wall Street, but Main Street is feeling the pain. Most agree the ox is in the ditch . . . but the concern of people serious about solutions is the political posturing by parties and politicians of all stripes. Those sound bites aren’t serious solutions. As Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal writes in her
Janice Scanlan opinion piece . . . legislators know they should get serious, but they can’t stop themselves. Now let’s cut to the real chase. This kind of bickering and wars of competing elites is impacting local projects. Texas just lost a huge federally-funded high speed train project between Houston and Dallas that would have ultimately connected San Antonio as well. With our long distances, the emphasis on energy-savings and relatively low-cost land as well as flat surface, there should not have been a better project in competition. Florida is now building a high speed train. Harris County Judge Ed Emmitt said it best . . . we didn’t have our act together with a shovel-ready project that had a concerted message between the groups involved.
Let’s put this in our own backyard. Are the grants and funding we’re chasing shovel-ready or just more concepts? Infrastructure development has been one of the keys to Fort Bend’s success. And the competition for these projects is hard won. While it took a concerted effort by region, county and city officials to land Lufkin Automation, I suspect the real force behind the success was a professional marketing and sales program by CB Ellis/Trammell Crow and the Lakeview Development team. They are going after the hard-won projects and stuck to the prime prospects, which can be hard to do in this economic climate. Have we often encouraged the unsophisticated developers which are easier to get, but result in nice and new, but empty strip centers? The big projects are hard won, but pay off. With an election coming up, ask yourself who’s coming up with sound bites and who seems serious about making each level of government in Texas more serious and purposeful? Is he or she living in the past or taking on hard issues that create a better future with practical solutions? Send your comments to open.space@earthlink.net.

Automobile:2010 Toyota FJ-Cruiser By BARBARA FULENWIDER For 2010 the Toyota FJ Cruiser has more power and better fuel efficiency in a body that stands out in a crowd of SUV look-alikes. The FJ Cruiser is powered by a DOHC 4.0-liter V6 engine, which makes 258 horsepower -- 19 more than last year. Peak torque is now 270 lb.-ft. The Cruiser’s estimated fuel economy is 17
miles per gallon in city driving and 22 on the highway for a combined average of 19 mpg. The FJ Cruiser 4x4 engine can be paired with either an electronically shifted five-speed automatic transmission or a six-speed manual transmission. The 4x2 model is equipped with a five-speed automatic, which varies the shifting pattern based on road conditions and driver
input. A Flex Lock-up feature allows the clutch in the torque converter to maintain a half-engaged position, which enhances fuel efficiency and increases the lock-up clutch’s operational range. The driver can manually shift the automatic transmission using a console-mounted, gate-type shift lever. From the beginning Toyota

The convenience package was on the test drive FJ Cruiser and added remote keyless entry, cruise control, power outside mirrors with illuminated markers, rear privacy glass, rear wiper, backup camera and running boards. More options included the TRD sport package with 16inch aluminum alloy wheels, all terrain tires, high-speed tuned Bilstein shock absorbers and TRD graphics, a towing hitch and wire harness, and security. Extras added $6,227 to the bottom line of $29,907. The FJ Cruiser gets its good look from Toyota’s FJ40 4x4 utility vehicle, which was sold in the U.S. from 1960 to 1983. The original FJ40 served around the world as the safari and expedition vehicle of choice and today is a sought-after collectable. Today’s FJ Cruiser has a front grille with two round, five-inch headlights reminiscent of the FJ40’s face. Its hood and fender
contours and rear mounted and exposed full-size spare tire with an off-center license plate mount also hark back to the original. Unlike anything on the FJ40, the FJ Cruiser has handy side access doors that open 90 degrees in clamshell fashion for easy rear-seat entry and exit. A swing up glass hatch is on the side-hinged rear door. The glass hatch on the rear door opens independently to accommodate long items. The interior of the FJ Cruiser is as original and easy on the eyes as the exterior. The dash is bordered by upper and lower tubular forms and frame rectangularshaped flat panels. Seat fabrics are not only water-repellant but also offer ventilation. The knobs are large and easy to reach. For those who like great eye catching design and off roading, the FJ Cruiser may be the perfect fit for you.

designed its FJ Cruiser for serious trail driving capability. The Cruiser’s welded steel body is mounted on a boxed steel ladder-braced unit. It has doublewishbone independent front suspension and the solid rear axle uses a four-link coil-spring suspension system with a lateral rod, tubular shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar. The 2010 Cruiser comes with a quiet cabin but occupants can hear the truck-like exhaust note. The FJ Cruiser 4x4 rides on 32-inch tires and has a ground clearance of 9.6 and the 4x2 rides 8.7 above the ground. Approach and departure angles are 34 degrees/32 degrees for the 4x4 FJ Cruiser and 32/30 for 4x2 models. Maximum towing capacity with the optional hitch is 5,000 pounds. With all standard equipment the FJ Cruiser retails at $23,680. What that buys is numerous safety features, a two-tone color with white hooks, two hooks, eight-way adjustable driver’s seat, rear door mounted fullsize spare tire, water resistant seats, rubber type floor and rear deck, 60/40 split rear seats with removable bottom cushion, AM/ FM/MP3/CD with eight speakers, power windows, door locks and steering, tilt steering wheel, rear defogger and cargo tie-down hooks.

Dinner From Page 4 and beans that can be steam cooked to perfection to go along with the main course.” “How do you know about all these cooking tips?” “I watch a lot of cooking channels. However, I do not recommend the amount of fat and butter they use.” “What about the dessert?” “Yeah! What is a Valentine’s Day dinner without some divine chocolate dessert? Let us pick up some ice cream, chocolate chips or chocolate syrup.” “Now, let us head home and transform the kitchen and the living room into a romantic get-away or hide-away.” “How are we going to do that?” “First, drop off the kids at your sister’s.” “My sister is not a babysitter.” “Well, if the price is right?’ “I get the message.” “Next, the couple will take part in the preparation of the romantic appetizer, the main entrée, and the dessert.” “Nik, that is too much work. No one is going to fall for that!” “That is how a romantic relationship starts, by doing something special for each other. It is time to relive those moments.” “What do we do next?” She looked curious. “Decorate the dining table with a nice tablecloth, light up a couple of candles that emit a romantic aroma, turn the lights down, and pour the red wine into the glasses while the other person turns on the soft soothing music. Now, cut a few slices of cheese, celery, cucumber and carrots for an appetizer.” “That sounds interesting.” “While one person marinates the meat, the other person will prepare the salad with lettuce, cucumbers, olives, cheese, roasted walnuts, olive oil, and fresh pepper.” “That should make people think when was the last time they treated each other to that special occasion. Now, you are right. Anybody can order a takeout a dinner,” she said
Nik Nikam. M.D. “Next, the couple will steam cook the vegetables and mix with onions, salt and pepper sautéed in olive oil.” “What about the main course?” “It’s coming. The couple will put the marinated meat, be it chicken, lamb chops, sirloin, or salmon, in the grill and turn on the timer. In the meantime, they continue to continue to enjoy their wine and cheese, as the evening turns more passionate.” “What about the cell phones?” “Just put them into a silent mode. Better yet, put them in the closet, for the time being. The only thing they may be able to feel or hear will be their own heartbeats in sync with the soft soothing music in the background, while their eyes gaze at the beautiful dark blue sky, lit with a full-moon. When the grill timer goes off, they turn the meat over and let it cook for the desired time on the other side,” I said “Now, let me guess, they get their salad and dinner plates ready on the dinner table that is illuminated only with candles that are radiating the romantic aroma. But, Nik, did we forget the carbs. I see no carbohydrates.” “Are you kidding? Everyone wants to look his or her best on Valentine’s Day. No one wants to look or feel bloated. That is why we have put the carbs on hold for this special evening,” I said. “Nik, while the couple is having a delightful dinner, there should be a topic to engage both and bring them closer,” Sonia said. “I think they can talk about the next vacation spot, they
want to visit, or the things they wanted to do together,” I said. “That sounds more intimate and personal. I am sure, the delicious salad and the sizzling grilled meat should serve as the fuel for such a conversation,” Sonia said. “Once they finish their delectable dinner, as usual, the man will attend to the dishes, while the lady scoops out ice cream into one large glass bowl, adds cubes of cantaloupes, sliced strawberries, green raisins, and of course bits of roasted walnuts. Then the most important ingredient of all for Valentine’s Day, the hot melted dark chocolate will drape the dessert,” I said. “As they delicately dip their spoons into the dessert bowl, their memories will freeze the instant in time. Then, as they put the spoons filled with chocolate ice cream into each other’s mouth, again their vivid mental souls will seize the moment of Valentine’s Day Zen,” she said. “It should expose their sublime adoration for each other. You may also notice that their intense eyes will be doing all the talking, while their lips would be sealed with the vibrant, hot-melting chocolate,” I said. “How do you know?” She asked. “Just an imagination. It does not cost anything. But, it will leave an eternal memory in the sands-of-time. “By the way, Sonia, you are doing so well when it comes to the romantic part, I should have let you lead this dialog from the beginning,” I said. “Nik, that hot-melting chocolate should energize the couple to go to a park, take a wild walk, throw snow or mud balls at each other, and reenact their first passionate interlude.” “Sonia, I could not have said it better.” “Thanks Nik. Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. And, I am late for my grocery shopping.” Having said that, Sonia drove off in her BMW, into the sunset.

Academy Award Nominations The Academy Awards nominations were announced on February 2nd and for the first time in a very long time there are 10 nominations for Best Picture. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ok with increasing the list from five to ten so we have more to talk about. I can always find 10 movies that I liked, but this year the smart money appears to be
betting on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avatarâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hurt Locker.â&#x20AC;? Larry Hâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grades for each of the top ten movies are listed below. I might add that I have no problem with the ten nominations even though I do not agree with three; I do understand the Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vote. Some years I get outraged when I learn of the nomina-
tions but this year my blood pressure is low. However, if I was in charge, these movies would have made the top ten: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Roadâ&#x20AC;? (93) â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Messengerâ&#x20AC;? (90) â&#x20AC;&#x153;That Evening Sunâ&#x20AC;? (93). Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will co-host the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. The Oscar telecast will take place Sunday, March 7th.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Avatarâ&#x20AC;? (95) â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blind Sideâ&#x20AC;? (82) â&#x20AC;&#x153;District 9â&#x20AC;? (71) â&#x20AC;&#x153;An Educationâ&#x20AC;?

(93) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Precious: Based on the Novel â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (92) â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Serious Manâ&#x20AC;? (81) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Upâ&#x20AC;?

Note from Larry H.: This film review originally appeared in our August 19, 2009, edition but since many of you have not had the opportunity to see it, I wanted it back on your radar screen because it received nine nominations including Best Picture. Avatar also garnered nine nominations. The Hurt Locker This is one of the most intense movies since â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Deer Hunterâ&#x20AC;? (1978). I was hooked from the opening scene and had sweaty palms throughout most of the film. Director Kathryn Bigelow has shown that she can make an award-winning movie. Even though she has enjoyed mid-level directorial success, she will be a force to be reckoned with in the future and will not have difficulty in raising the cash for her next project. This story is about the visceral emotions of war and the ever-present threat of death of the three main male heroes fighting in Iraq in 2004. To learn that the director was a female was a mild shock to me. This movie is very macho and clearly
from a maleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective; or is it? I knew very little about this movie prior to buying a ticket other than some of my movie-going friends were giving it rave reviews. We all know that I do not like people seeing a movie before I see it, so I have been gunning for this flick for over a week. It is currently showing at only five theatres in the Greater Houston area, but I suspect that it will be in wide release soon; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that good. I saw it on a Friday afternoon at AMC Studio 30 and there were only 10 other folks in my audience. Our three soldiers are members of an Army special bomb team that is tasked with defusing IEDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Improvised Explosive Devices) on the streets and alleyways of Baghdad. In the opening scenes, the team loses its leader because of an explosion so the audience is painfully aware of the deadly danger they face each day. The new team leader is Staff Sergeant William James (Jeremy Renner) who is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;wild manâ&#x20AC;? and approaches this incredibly scary job as though he is without fear and in doing so jeopardizes the safety of the other team members - Sergeant JT Sanborn (Anthony Mackie) and Specialist Owen Eldridge (Brian Geraghty). The character development of these conflicting personalities is masterfully revealed through impeccable timing and solid performances. While these three actors will get better paying jobs in
future movies as a result of their impressive performances, it is the screenplay, editing, and direction that are the keys to this complicated yet hugely entertaining film. It is â&#x20AC;&#x153;entertainingâ&#x20AC;? if you go to the movies to learn and to have your emotions altered. This is not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;yeehaw, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all feel goodâ&#x20AC;? movie. This is about the serious aspect of humans once again being faced with the proposition of â&#x20AC;&#x153;kill or be killedâ&#x20AC;? in the name of patriotism and confusion. And fear and denial, sadness, grief, bravery, anger, trust, and bewilderment. Fitting all these pieces together is tricky but Screenwriter Mark Boal has delivered a chronicle that is action
packed with a hair trigger that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The only reason I looked at my watch was to determine how much longer I would have to endure the passion of one emotional scene after another and quite frankly to pace myself to ensure that I could make it to the end. I want to see this movie again soon which is the ultimate compliment. It has an outside shot at being one of the top ten movies of the year and garner a nomination; this year for the first time there will be ten nominations for Best Picture.
