Bomb sniffing Dog, Rumor, with U.S. troops in Iraq is guarding the packages received from TipOftheSpear.Org. TipOftheSpear. org received this picture from the U.S. troops in Iraq.

As you can see, one of the adopted platoons is of the four legged kind! Meet Rumor, a bomb sniffing dog currently deployed to Iraq.

His handler wrote this: “Hey got your packages thanks so much!

“I unfortunately couldn’t get a picture with the guys because there’s a lot going on at the moment but I got one of Rumor for you! I will get a picture of all of us with Rumor for you later!

Thanks again I’ll let you know what everyone liked!”

Yes, there was a special package for Rumor! The handler asked TipoftheSpear not to send treats but to send toys.

Working dogs military &

police are not allowed to have treats. Their treat is playing with their toys. Therefore, at the request of the Dog Handler, volunteers sent tennis balls, toys, frisbees, and a brush; things to help a working dog relax during off duty time.

“Thanks to our generous donors and volunteers, Tip Of the Spear.org continues to support our deployed troops in hostile environments,” says Mary Williams, Tip of the Spear (www. tipofthespear.org) If you would like to join the mission you make a donation via Pay Pal at www.TipOfTheSpear.org or mail a check to Tip Of the Spear, PO Box 3083, Sugar Land, Texas 77487.

Newland submits revised PD application for Telfair Tract

Newland Communities submitted a revised Planned Development (PD) zoning application for the Telfair Tract 5 property on May 16, according to a press release issued by the city of Sugar Land on Monday.

The application is a proposal for about 87 acres, including the property at the southeast intersection of U.S. Highway 59 and University Boulevard.

A PD application for the same property was suspended during 2015 because it did not fully comply with the City’s development code.

The revised plan contains a mixture of proposed office, retail, restaurant and hotel uses, as well as an option for an agerestricted independent living facility for senior citizens.

As proposed, the independent living facility, similar to a project in The Imperial development known as The Overture, could contain a maximum of 300 dwellings.

The senior living facility, like all other proposed land uses, will be extensively reviewed and considered through a two-step PD zoning process.

Staff is anticipated to complete an initial assessment of the application and provide comments to the applicant in early June if deficiencies or revisions are identified.

The Planning and Zoning Commission is expected to review the application through workshop and public hearing meetings this summer.

Mayoral candidate Joe Zimmerman repeated his previous statement: “My position is simple - THERE WILL BE NO APARTMENTS IN TELFAIR SOUTH. No apartments in Telfair South - means exactly that. No apartments.” He did not clarify if the proposed 300 dwelling units in Telfair are apartments or not.

Hancock endorses Jajoo

By SESHADRI KUMAR Sugar Land Mayoral candidate Myatt Hancock, who finished third in the May 7 city council elections, has endorsed Harish Jajoo for mayor in the June 11 run-off election.

Hancock received 1,582 votes or 19.17 percent.

Joe Zimmerman received 3,388 votes or 41.06 percent of the total votes cast, and Jajoo received the second most votes with 2,846 or 34.49 percent.

Other opponents in the race were Kyle Stanley, 230 for 2.79 percent, and Sarwar Khan, 206 for 2.50 percent.

Hancock ran on a slate with Diana Miller and Naomi Lam, under the banner Sugar Land Votes.

One of the main planks of their platform was to roll back the Development Code pertaining to Planned Developments and remove the new zoning classification of “Urban” development, stipulating a

Hancock minimum of 4-stories.

Jajoo had proposed a resolution, along with Zimmerman, calling for the reversal of the Development Code and added a new stipulation capping apartment units in PD to 200.

The Planning and Zoning Commission has since rejected the city council resolution on

this subject.

Hancock, issued a statement on Monday, declaring his support to Jajoo: “As you may know, I was a Mayoral candidate in the May 7th election.

My platform was simple -fight for the families of our city and stand up to developers and apartment overgrowth.

Unfortunately, I came up short in the election, but there is still a chance to have that message carried by someone who REALLY believes in it - Harish Jajoo.

I’m giving Harish Jajoo my full support and endorsement in the runoff election. Harish understands the apartment issue, and he has been a proponent of a cap of 200 units...the same cap I proposed.

While Harish’s opponent is interested in winning this election and saying what voters want to hear, Harish is interested in the future of our city...just

Fort Bend County DA dismisses forgery case

One of the cases referred to the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office in 2015 by the Fort Bend ISD police involving the use of counterfeit money was dismissed last week.

Fort Bend County District Attorney John Healey said the case was “dismissed after a review of the evidence by my office, much of which was provided after the case was filed.”

Healey said, “We are committed to our primary responsibility of ensuring that justice is done. Historically, my office has conducted presentations to students about their responsibilities and privileges concerning the law covering many topics.

“Additionally, we are pleased to work with Fort Bend ISD to help educate students and their families about laws concerning forgery and the use of counterfeit money.”

Fort Bend ISD Police Chief David Rider shared the facts about forgery and counterfeit

cases investigated by the District at a May 16 Board Meeting.

While most of the District’s counterfeit or forgery cases have been solicited for investigation by a victim and not through a school-related transaction, it is imperative to be informed through these final weeks of our school year and as Fort Bend ISD students and their families head into the summer break, Rider said.

Often in counterfeit cases, Fort Bend ISD police officers are the first people that students turn to for help, if they become a victim.

To protect you and your family, here are some tips: •Be cautious when dealing with someone you don’t know.

•Be cautious if someone wants to pay cash for a major transaction. If cash is the only option, meet your buyer at a financial institution.

•Have a teller handle the transaction.

•Scrutinize your bills of any denomination and in any trans-

action. While there are tools and traits to distinguish counterfeit, get to know the look, the texture and the print of your bill. Some traits just cannot be duplicated.

In 2013, 2014 and 2015, the FBISD Police Department investigated seven total cases that were referred to the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office. Under the Texas Penal Code, forgery is a third degree felony.

Fort Bend ISD works cooperatively with the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office, and both agencies are dedicated to providing a safe and secure learning environment for all FBISD students.

Depending on the nature and seriousness of an alleged offense and available evidence/ witnesses, cases may be referred to the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office for charges.

Violations of school rules are typically referred to the school administration for disciplinary processing with no other law enforcement involvement.

The City of Sugar Land will salute fallen soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country by hosting the 8th Annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 30, at 10 a.m., at Sugar Land Memorial Park, 15300 University Blvd.

The ceremony will begin with a one-hour patriotic musical presentation. During that time, attendees will have the opportunity to visit with community organizations such as Vet Center 711, Sugar Land Rotary, Houston Marine Moms and Indo American Forum. Activity stations such as the Battleship Texas State Historic Site touch table will also be onsite. The official ceremony will commence at 11 a.m. The program will consist of a presentation of colors, words

of remembrance by local dignitaries, a military flyover, 21-gun salute and special tributes from members of the community. Patriotic performances will also fill the stage with choral and musical selections.

Also during the ceremony, the City will acknowledge the names of veterans engraved inside the memorial at Sugar Land Memorial Park.

The memorial features an obelisk recognizing all branches of the military along with past Sugar Land fallen soldiers. The etched names serve as lasting expression of gratitude from the City of Sugar Land and its community. A local Boy Scout troop will close the ceremony with a traditional flag observance at noon.

In addition to the ceremony, a military vehicle exhibition will be provided as a photo opportunity for families. There will be donation booths, a post card craft station, a breakfast area and much more.

Public parking will be available at the University of Houston Sugar Land campus, 14000 University Blvd., where complimentary shuttle services will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Mixed use development proposed at HCC site in Sienna

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Missouri City City Council on May 2 voted to authorize a partnership with Sienna Plantation Management District to provide for a mixed use development on 33.23 acres north of Watts Plantation Road, south of Fort Bend Parkway, west of Oyster Creek and east of Sienna Parkway.

Council’s next agenda item allows a development agreement between Missouri City and Sienna 325, L.P., the owner of a 33.23-acre tract of land considered for deannexation.

The agreement provides for a mixed use development that could be multifamily, residential, condominium residential, commercial/office and retail, etc.

The agreement provides for the city to get free parkland from the developer of the property, who must build to the city’s codes. The agreement also provides for a 30-year term of repayment for water and sewer.

The owner of the land petitioned council to deannex the property so a business development could be built on it.

The property was previously zoned suburban district to provide for the Houston Community College Missouri City campus, a public library and retail district uses.

The property was exempt from property taxes because it was owned by the city.

With deannexation and retail

built on it, Missouri City can collect sales taxes, which help pay for city services.

Councilman At-large Jerry Wyatt said, “This is a culmination of getting HCC to Texas Parkway. In addition it will help people in the south of our city. I don’t know why some people (on council) voted against this. This is the largest project in the history of Texas Parkway and is a part of that happening. Throughout this election I keep hearing ‘what we are doing with Texas Parkway.’ I want to make sure that it is pointed out.”

Then Mayor Pro-Tem Don Smith said, “It’s been the whupping child for those who aspire to be in public service for the past four, five, six years.

There’s always been language about change and what we’re going to do about Texas Parkway.

“We deal in the neighborhood of $29.6 million on that corridor. It seems to me that’s a positive. As a result of other things it’s going to happen.

Commissioner Grady Prestage will improve the library to three floors and retrofit it to accommodate Wi-Fi and other amenities.” Smith also talked about the revamping of the city hall complex and how that will add to “the esthetics of city hall and add to amenities.

Smith went on to say, “This is something we’ve wanted to do for some time. Texas Parkway is a conduit between 288

Construction set to begin on 2 Elementary Schools on west side

After an extensive period of planning, the 2014 Bond Program is moving ahead and dirt will be moving soon on new construction projects. The FBISD Board of Trustees approved construction service agreements for Elementary Schools 49 and 50 during the May board meeting. Both scheduled to open in August 2017, the new campuses are part of the 2014 Bond Program and will support student growth taking place on the west side of the District.

Drymalla Construction Company, Inc. will oversee the construction of Elementary School 49 located in the Harvest Green Subdivision on Harlem Road, west of Travis High School. The two-story building will be 123,440 square feet and will cost $27,550,000.

Cadence McShane Construction Company, LLC will oversee the construction of Elementary 50. The two-story, 119,876 square-foot campus will be located in the Grand Vista subdivision, near the northeast corner of Beechnut Street and Harlem Road, and will cost $25,793,553.

The Board also approved major bond funded renovations at Clements HS, Kempner HS, Willowridge HS, Drabek ES, and Ridgemont ES. They approved the repaving of the parking lot and new sidewalks that surround Wheeler Field House and Mercer Stadium, which also serves the Administration Building.

That same contract also includes new sidewalks and exterior lighting upgrades at 16 schools.

NOTICE TO BIDDERS FESTIVAL SITE LIFT STATION AND FORCE MAIN

The City of Missouri City, Texas, hereby gives notice that the proposed budget for these funds for the Fiscal Year 2017 was formally presented to the City Council, and a summary of said proposed is as follows:

and the beltway. 26,000 cars commute down that corridor to work every weekday. Although we haven’t moved as fast as some would want this will make the community better.

Hopefully there’s more understanding that HCC will benefit Texas Parkway,” Smith said.

In continued business. council authorized two development agreements with the owner of the 33.277-acre tract and the owner of a 10.96 acre tract that was deannexed by the city. The 10.96-acre tract is to be developed for single-family residential so will need infrastructure built before houses go up.

Assistant City Manager Scott Elmer told council the agreements were similar to those the city had with the Riverstone community.

Mayor Allen Owen said, “These folks will be in the city and paying sales taxes to the city. It’s a chicken and egg thing.”

He also said a Mixed Use Development (MUD) is annexing the land so will provide water and sewer facilities so houses can be built on the land.

In answer to a question by Councilman Anthony Maurolis about Tax Increment Reinvestment Zones (TIRZ), Assistant City Manager Scott Elmer said, “Reimbursement (of a developer for water and sewer lines, etc.) wasn’t the best deal for the city so a policy was adopted not to provide that.”

He said the city created a Management District (MD) to handle it.

In other business, council approved a petition from Pulte Homes of Texas requesting the city annex 11.16 acres of land.

Doing so facilitated providing for water, wastewater, utilities and drainage for the property.

Sugar Land Legacy Foundation

Last Memorial Day, the Sugar Land Legacy Foundation launched the “Honor or Remember” brick pavers project as a way to salute military service personnel. Any member of the community can personalize a 4” x 8” brick paver as a tribute to a loved one or fallen hero who has served in the military. The engraved pavers are placed within the Honor and Remember Flag Plaza adjacent to the current Remembrance Tower at Sugar Land Memorial Park. The project, now in its second year, is a partnership between the Sugar Land Legacy Foundation and the City of Sugar Land. The Foundation aims to raise $25,000 from paver sales to support future memorial projects at the park, such as additional sculptures. 100 brick pavers were originally made available and only 60 remain for personalization. The 4” x 8” brick pavers may be engraved with text such as a veteran’s name, branch of the military and dates of service.

Quail Valley celebrates America

By CAROLYN BOWDEN In 2002, The Quail Valley Country Club sponsored a Memorial Day celebration.

This Event was organized by Julia Hardy as head of the Social and Family Committees of the Club. The Eventincluded a Kid’s Bike, Wagon & Dog Parade, a family picnic by the pool and the first Red White and Blue Golf Tournament.

The Parade was hosted by the Club Social Commit-

tee with Lane Pearson as the chairman. The agenda was carefully planned to be a family event such as it was when ‘Decoration Day” first began.

Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. This holiday originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868 by an organization of Union veterans.

erate graves of the dead were honored at a different time.

They could take on the character of an extended family reunion where people gathered on the designated day, put flowers on graves and renewed contacts with relatives.

There was a religious service and a picnic-like “dinner on the ground” where food was spread out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that May 30th was chosen because flowers would be in bloom all over the country.

As a Senior Girl Scout our troop stood outside a large office building and sold artificial red poppies.

The money collected was turned in to the VFW organization to help disabled veterans. The people would immediately pin them on because it was a custom at that time to wear red poppies on Memorial Day in honor of those who died servicing the nation during war.

Memorial Day is not to be confused with Veterans Day. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who dies in defense of our country to preserve the freedoms we now celebrate.

Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans.

What this Parade means to the children who participate?

They get to decorate their bikes, wagons, dogs and then march in a real Parade to the music of songs such as The Stars and Stripes.

Mayor Allen Owen was the Grand Marshal of the parade that first year, and he has never since missed a year. In his tall “Uncle Sam” hat, he always spoke about those who fought and died for our freedom and peace.

Prices were awarded for Best Decorated Bike, Best Decorated wagon, Most Spirit, Most Patriotic, Best Decorated

Dog, Youngest “Paradee,” Best Musical Instrument and Best Marcher, etc.

Each Year participants are given a “Quail Valley Celebrates America” T-shirt that is designed and printed by Leonetti Graphics.

The Exchange Club of Quail Valley donates small American flags to be used by those in the Parade and the spectators who were Cottage residents. Quail Valley Proud Neighborhood Association originally sponsored the Tshirts. Starkey Mortgage is now that sponsor.

A special thanks goes to Quail Valley Cottage residents Dale Williamson, Terry Coughlin and Lil Schoellthorn, who every year, set up a refreshment booth for children, parents and participating dogs.

They organize this and do it all on their own, at their own expense and as a result of their support, the parade route has never changed.

From the beginning, Lisa Glenn has been the liaison between City/Golf Club and submitting news releases about the Memorial Day celebration to local media Many of these youngsters

experienced for the first time, one of their rights as an American - the right to parade for a cause they believed was good.

The residents along the route clapped, cheered and waved their flags. They too were feeling the Spirit of America.

The youngsters wore smiles and their enthusiasm was contagious to all who were watching the parade. You could see it. You could feel it.

They were experiencing their right to gather and celebrate our liberty as Americans.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE NATIONAL MOMENT OF REMEMBRANCE? To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten this resolution was passed on December 2000 which asked that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans “To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect, pausing from whatever they are doing for a moment of silence or listening to ‘Taps.”

FILM REVIEW: Neighbors 2â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sorority Rising

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Welcome to Phi Lambda â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sororities arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to throw parties in their own housesâ&#x20AC;Śwelcome to Kappa Nu; we party. And smoke a lotta weed. Old people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know anythingâ&#x20AC;Śtheyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re using their sexuality as a weaponâ&#x20AC;Śwhat are we gonna do?... weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never sell our house next door to a sorority!â&#x20AC;?

Well, that wraps it up. End of show; end of meaningful dialogue. Seth Rogen returns as Mac Radner in this dreadful sequel as the married cool guy next door to a sorority this time instead of a fraternity as the original â&#x20AC;&#x153;Neighborsâ&#x20AC;? (2014).

Rogen knows a thing or two about â&#x20AC;&#x153;smokinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;-a-little-weedâ&#x20AC;? humor from ďŹ rsthand experience crammed into his brief, but super-successful career at age 34. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not credited

with writing in the original ďŹ lm, but in this sequel Rogen joins four other knucklehead screenwriters who were desperately searching for new material that could match the modicum of success of Neighbors One. That search for fresh comedy was not fruitless because there were times during my 92-minutes when I chuckled with unenthusiastic glee.

Almost an embarrassing, fake merriment. I think that such a sound of mild hilarity is spelled â&#x20AC;&#x153;hehehahaâ&#x20AC;Ś uhuhuhâ&#x20AC;Śnono.â&#x20AC;?

Does Zac Efron return as the extremely immature Teddy Sanders? Of course, he does. And his shirt comes oďŹ&#x20AC; often as well it should. That 28-year-old boy has been working out and has some

serious guns.

Everybody likes Zac Efron and Seth Rogen so this movie will survive and everyone will get paid and there probably will be a Neighbors 3, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t blame me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pulling my investment from this franchise; Seth and the boys can go smoke it somewhere else but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough of â&#x20AC;&#x153;I-canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-standliving-next-door-to -college -coeds.â&#x20AC;? Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we all just get along?

Bad as this movie is, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s depraved and immoral with little or no social redeeming value, I suspect that many will enjoy a dose of debauchery and decadence. Target audience: teenagers 13-16; girls not boys. My teenage girls in Theatre 21 loved this movie and squealed with utter delight at all the right places.

The stock for Chloe Grace Moretz, 19, will soar after her performance as Shelby, the bimbo blond originator and founder of Kappa Nu. Another winner is this tawdry little sequel is Rose Byrne who resurrects her character as the pregnant Kelly Radner. Her Kelly is as big a space cadet as Rogenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mac. That makes for a charming, yet ďŹ&#x201A;awed, couple who only want to move into adulthood by selling their house without interference from those scantily-clad college girls. Darn the luck.

If you are feeling adventurous and/or you are a 15-year old girl, then contribute to the Seth Rogen Foundation and buy a ticket.

Rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n Roll.

Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital honored with quality achievement award for stroke care Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital has received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines®-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award with Target: StrokeSM Honor Roll Elite.

The award recognizes Houston Methodist Sugar Land’s commitment and success in implementing a higher standard of stroke care by ensuring that stroke patients receive treatment according to national standards and recommendations.

“With a stroke, time lost is brain lost,” said James Ling, M.D., medical director of the Houston Methodist Sugar Land Stroke Program.

“The Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award demonstrates our commitment to being one of the top hospitals in the country for providing aggressive, proven stroke care and addressing the important element of time.”

Houston Methodist Sugar Land has developed a comprehensive system for rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke patients admitted to the Emergency Department.

This includes always being equipped to provide brain imaging scans, having neurologists available to conduct patient evaluations and using clot-busting medications when appropriate.

“We will continue with our focus on providing care that has been shown in the scientific literature to quickly and

efficiently treat stroke patients with evidence-based protocols,” said Maria Socci, stroke coordinator at Houston Methodist Sugar Land.

To receive the Gold Plus award, Houston Methodist Sugar Land achieved an 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The GuidelinesStroke Quality Achievement indicators for two or more consecutive 12-month intervals and achieved 75 percent or higher compliance with five of eight Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Quality Measures.

These quality measures are designed to help hospital teams follow the most up-todate, evidence-based guidelines with the goal of speeding recovery and reducing death and disability for stroke patients.

To qualify for the Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite, hospitals must meet quality measures developed to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke.

If given intravenously in the first three hours after the start of stroke symptoms, tPA has been shown to significantly reduce the effects of stroke and lessen the chance of permanent disability.

“The American Heart Association and American Stroke Association recognizes Houston Methodist Sugar Land

James Ling, MD; Toby Yaltho, MD; Scott Stover, RN; Tiffany Bell, RN; Pauletta Blackstock, RN; Diane McGraw, RN; Damon Smith, RN; Maria Socci, RN; Larry Tran, MD Hospital for its commitment to stroke care,” said Paul Heidenreich, M.D., M.S., national chairman of the Get With The Guidelines Steering Committee and professor of medicine at Stanford University.

“Research has shown there are benefits to patients who are treated at hospitals that have adopted the Get With The Guidelines program.”

According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is the fifth leading cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States.

On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 800,000

people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

Get With The Guidelines® is the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s hospital-based quality improvement program that provides hospitals with tools and resources to increase adherence to the latest researchbased guidelines.

Developed with the goal of saving lives and hastening re-

covery, Get With The Guidelines has touched the lives of more than 6 million patients since 2001. For more information, visit heart.org.

AUTOMOBILE: Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Rebuilt inside and out with an all-new powertrain and enhanced suspension tuning, America’s best-selling midsize pickup for 10 years running retains its throne on the mountaintop for dirt stomping adventurers.

The new Tacoma features the 2.7-liter DOHC four-cylinder with VVT-i. It makes 159 horsepower and 180 lb.ft. of torque @ 4000 rpm. EPA

estimated city/highway/combined mpg for the 4x2 with an automatic transmission is 19/23/21.

Estimated fuel efficiency for the 4x4 with a manual transmission is 19/21/20 and 19/22/20 for the automatic.

For added performance, Tacoma offers an all-new V6 with a 3.5-liter Atkinson cycle with VVT-iW (Variable Valve Timing with Intelligent Wider Intake) equipped with direct

and port fuel injection. The V6 makes 278 horsepower, more than 42 HP over the previous V6, and 265 lb.-ft. of torque at 4600 rpm. Estimated city/ highway/combined mpg for the 4x2 automatic is 19/24/21.

The estimated mpg for the 4x4 manual is 17/21/19 and 18/23/20 for the automatic.

Both engines will be paired with a new six-speed automatic transmission with electronic shift. The V6 can also

be mated to a new six-speed manual transmission and the four-cylinder to a five-speed manual. When equipped with the V6 Tow Package, the Tacoma can tow up to 6,800 lbs. for an increase of 300 lbs. more.

Four new wheel designs range from 16 to 18 inches.

The new locking tailgate features an integrated spoiler for improved aerodynamics and for the first time, Tacoma offers an optional factory-installed tri-fold hard tonneau cover.

Available premium features are Qi wireless charging, smart key with push-button start, leather-trimmed seats, power tilt/slide moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, enhanced touchscreen audio and blind-spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert.

The 2016 Tacoma is quieter and storage has been maximized in Access Cab models with fold-up rear seats and under-seat storage. Double Cab models have 60/40 split rear seats and under-seat storage.

The new Tacoma comes in 29 configurations in two cab types, the extended Access Cab and four-door Double Cab. Each cab is available in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. The five model grades are Work-ready SR, SR5, TRD Sport, Limited and TRD Off-Road.

Access Cab models ride on a 127.8-inch wheelbase with a 73.7-inch-long bed. The Double Cab has either the 127.4-inch wheelbase with a 60.5-inch bed or 141.0-inch wheelbase with the 73.7-inch bed.

Both bed styles come with a composite inner bed and have a two-tier loading and an integrated deck-rail utility system with four standard adjustable tie-down cleats.

The deck rail system is compatible with Toyota accessories that include a fork-mount bike rack, cargo

INDEPENDENT • MAY 25, 2016 • Page 9 INDEPENDENT • MAY 28, 2016 • Page 9

divider that locks into the rails and mini tie-downs with hooks to secure cargo.

Inside, all Tacoma models have a four-way driver’s seat with lumbar support and four-way adjustable front passenger seats.

All Tacoma 4x4 models are equipped with 4WDemand part-time 4WD with an electronically controlled transfer case and automatic limited slip differential.

Tacoma TRD Sport models have sport-tuned shocks while TRD Off-Road models are equipped with Bilstein shocks.

Tacoma off-roading adventures comes with a multi-terrain select system (automatic transmission only). The driver may choose between various terrain types such as loose rock, or mud and sand. Each input adjusts throttle and brake pressure to provide maximum traction on almost any terrain.

Additional off-road technology includes locking rear differential, hill start assist control, clutch start cancel (manual transmission only), active traction control, and crawl control. It takes over acceleration and braking so the driver can focus solely on steering.

All Tacoma models are equipped with a coil-spring double wishbone front suspension and stabilizer bar and leaf spring rear suspension with staggered outboardmounted gas shocks. Brakes

are power-assisted ventilated front disc and rear drum brakes with a tandem booster.

All Tacoma SR grades come standard with the base Entune Audio system. The Tacoma has nine core optional packages: SR utility package, SR convenience package, four levels of the SR5 appearance package and three levels of premium & technology packages.

Standard on all Toyota models is vehicle stability control, traction control, an anti-lock braking, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist and brake override.

Additional standard safety features are a tire pressure monitor.

The MSRP for the 2016 Tacoma 4x2 ranges from $23,300 for the SR Access Cab with a 2.7-liter 4-cylinder engine and six-speed automatic transmission to $34,745 for the Double Cab Limited 3.5-liter V6 with a sixspeed automatic transmission.

The MSRP for the 2016 Tacoma 4x4 goes from $24,825 for the SR 4-cylinder engine with a five-speed manual transmission to $37,820 for the V6 Limited with the six-speed automatic.

Trucks are not my true loves but I found the Tacoma TRD Limited’s sweet spot. It’s that V6 that provided good fun in town. It is also a standout eye catching truck that for off-roaders has to make their wild/crazy romps even more

The overall goals of the community development and planning programs covered by the Consolidated Plan are to strengthen partnerships with jurisdictions and to extend and strengthen partnerships among all levels of government and the private sector, including for-profit and nonprofit organizations, to enable them: *to provide decent housing; *to establish and maintain a suitable living environment; and *to expand economic opportunities for every American, particularly for very lowincome and low-income persons.

The purpose of the Consolidated Plan is to require the County to state in one document its plan to pursue these goals for all the community planning and development programs, as well as for housing programs. The FY 2015 Consolidated Plan serves the following functions: 1. A planning document for the jurisdiction, which builds on a participatory process at the lowest levels; 2. An application for federal funds under HUD’s formula grant programs; 3. A strategy to be followed in carrying out HUD programs; and, 4. An action plan that provides a basis for assessing performance.

The Consolidated Plan Final Rule requires that local government jurisdictions submit to HUD five-year Consolidated Plans containing a housing and homeless needs assessment, a housing market analysis, a strategic plan, an action plan, and the required HUD certifications. The FYs 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan includes Fort Bend County’s revised housing and homeless needs assessment and housing market analysis. The plan includes 2010 Census data, 2011 American Community Survey (ACS) data, and 2014 HUD data regarding low-income persons. The County’s Strategic Plan has been revised to reflect changes in HUD programs, the population of the County as evidenced by the 2010 data and to provide consistency between the FYs 2010-2015 Consolidated Plan’s goals and objectives, and the proposed FYs 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan’s goals and objectives. The strategic plan sets forth program goals and specific objectives in a manner that helps local governments and citizens keep track of programmatic results.

The FY 2016 Consolidated Annual Action Plan includes the proposed projects to be funded during FY 2016, September 1, 2016 to August 31, 2017. These projects are listed below by program funding source. The recommended amount of funding for each project also is listed.
