Sugar Land Garden Club names scholarship winners The Sugar Land Garden Club last week announced its scholarship winners for 2015.

Amny Rose is a senior studying horticulture at Stephen F. Austin State University. She is originally from Clifton, Texas, although her family has relocated to Spring, Texas in recent years.

Amny grew up in the Texas 4H program, and the Junior Master Gardeners program was what sparked her interest in growing plants and gardening.

Eventually, that interest led her to pursue a college degree in horticulture, and the rest is history. Her main interests are in nursery crop production, native Texas plants, and growing vegetables.

Since beginning college, she has been a regular attendee of several conferences and trade shows around the country, including the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association trade show and the Southern Region International Propagators Society annual conference. She has held internships with Calloway’s Nursery in the DFW area and with Phipps Conservatory and Botanic Garden in Pittsburgh, PA. This summer, she plans to travel to the Netherlands to experience their horticulture industry, after which she will participate in an internship program with Ball Horticultural in

Rose Chicago, IL. She is currently the president of the SFA Horticulture Club. Amny plans to graduate in 2016 and then go on to grad school for a Masters’ of Science.

Austin Miller is a sophomore horticulture major at Stephen F. Austin State University. He has always been very interested in landscaping and how to grow, raise, and incorporate plants in a design. He says “Any time I can be outside getting my hands dirty gardening is a great time for me.” When not learning about and taking care of plants, he can usually be found behind a piano. He loves playing and being involved with music in his spare time. This summer, he hopes to take some summer classes while doing a landscap-

Miller ing or nursery internship He also plans to participate in the Master Gardeners program.

This coming fall, he will be involved in horticultural programs on campus like the Sprout Garden and the Horticulture club.

Sugar Land Garden Cub is a 150+ member organization that supports a variety of state-wide and community horticultural projects.

Monthly meetings (excluding summer months) at St. Basil Hall, 702 Burney Road, Sugar Land the third Tuesday of the month, feature speakers on garden-related topics. The club also offers workshops and field trips throughout the year. For further information, see www. sugarlandgardenclub.org.

COUNTYWIDE SCHOOL SUPPLIES EVENT

Donors sought for backpacks, school supplies and shoes

Seven local organizations have teamed up to host the area’s first countywide backto-school event and are seeking community support to help more than 1,500 students on a single day.

Hosted by Fort Bend County Collaborative Information System (FBCCIS), this event will distribute backpacks, school supplies and shoes to registered students who meet income requirements.

FBCCIS member organizations include East Fort Bend Human Needs, Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels, Second Mile Mission, Rosenberg/Richmond Helping Hands, Katy Christian Ministries, Fort Bend County Social Services and Fort Bend County Community Paramedics.

The cost of making each student back-to-school-ready is $50. FBCCIS is asking community groups to help provide financial support for this effort.

“It could be your neighbor or someone you know who is wondering how their child will have everything they need to start the school year right,” said Anna Gonzales with the Fort Bend County Department of Social Services.

“With the community’s support, we can ensure a great number of students are fully prepared on that first day.”

The event will be held Aug. 15 at the University of Houston Sugar Land.

Individuals and organizations who would like to make a financial contribution to this first-of-its-kind event can con-

tact Vickie Coates at 281-2614902.

It is the intent of the collaborative to increase in members by inviting organizations who are currently providing similar services.

Sugar Land approves plan for long-term

development of Cullinan Park

Sugar Land City Council approved agreements on May 19 for the future development of Cullinan Park, 754 acres of mostly inaccessible forest and wetlands north of Sugar Land Regional Airport.

The land is currently owned by the city of Houston and Houston Parks Board and is located within Houston’s extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ).

The Cullinan Park Conservancy contacted both Houston and Sugar Land months ago and proposed a partnership to further develop the acreage as a passive park that will preserve the natural beauty of the property.

Phase 1 improvements include improving access to the property through nature trails and bridges, as well as installation of a picnic pavilion and a children’s nature area.

Discussions led to an interlocal agreement between Sugar Land and Houston for the property’s transfer to Sugar

Land’s ETJ. The agreement also includes criteria for the future annexation, maintenance and operation of the park by Sugar Land.

While Houston will continue to own the property, the agreement provides a 30-year rightof-entry to Sugar Land that’s renewable for an additional 30 years. The inter-local agreement will take effect once the conservancy raises an initial contribution of $500,000.

A memorandum of understanding between Sugar Land and the Cullinan Conservancy outlines the conservancy’s fundraising efforts for the park, including a commitment of $10 million during the next 10 years.

Houston City Council approved the Cullinan Park interlocal agreement on May 27.

The lands of Cullinan Park were first settled in 1828 by Alexander Hodge, a member of Stephen F. Austin’s Old 300.

For more than 150 years, the property was used for raising cattle, sugar cane and other

Fort Bend Cares grants $170,000 to 28 area charities The best part about fundraising is distributing the funds to those in need which was celebrated at Fort Bend Cares Grants Reception on Wednesday, June 10 at the offices of Hrbacek Martinez & Nestor. Through the generosity and support of sponsors and donors, Fort Bend Cares distributed $169,775 to 28 non-profit organizations that serve disadvantaged children and youth in Fort Bend county.

Volunteers on the Fort Bend Cares Grants Committee carried out a rigorous review of grant applications from local non-profits before presenting their recommendations on which organizations should receive grant funds to the Board of Trustees. Reviews may include site visits, meeting with program directors, and consideration of factors such as the number of children impacted, whether the organization meets a physical, emotional, or educational need, and the alignment of the charity’s mission with that of Fort Bend Cares. Grants Committee Team Leader, Patty Ward said, “I continue to be amazed at the passion and care exhibited by leaders of non-profits who work hard every day to improve the lives of children in our community. It is tough to narrow the field of grant recipients, but one every Grants Committee member takes seriously to ensure funds raised have the biggest impact possible.”

New grant recipients this year include Sunshine Kids Foundation to provide events and activities for pediatric oncology patients in Fort Bend and The Xena Project for an art therapy program for military veterans and their families.

Escape Family Resource Center was awarded the ‘Founders Grant’, named after Fort Bend Cares co-founders Dr. Robert McClendon and Jim Rice. Escape Family Resource Center provides education, intervention, and support to prevent child abuse and neglect. In honor of Fort Bend Cares friend and supporter, Jim Richard, Texana Center was the recipient of the one-time ‘Judge Jim Richard Memorial Grant’. Texana Center plans to use the funds to teach social skills and provide after school programs to children with autism.

Fort Bend Cares raises money for grants through a variety of events and individual donors. Its primary fundraising event, ‘Road Trip’, is scheduled for Saturday, February 6, 2016 at Fluor in Sugar Land. To sponsor this event or to volunteer with Fort Bend Cares, contact Executive Director, Angie Wierzbicki, at angie@fortbendcares.org or 832-819-2005.

crops. In 1989, Cullinan Park was acquired by the Houston Parks Board and City of Houston and opened in 1991 as a nature preserve with improvements funded by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

The Cullinan Park Conservancy was formed as a nonprofit corporation in 2010, as a project of the tax-exempt Houston Parks Board. The Conservancy seeks to enhance and protect the natural beauty of Cullinan Park.

The conservancy is focused on a number of efforts that will help enhance the Park’s status as -- in the words of its major donor Nina Cullinan -- a “place of beauty and peacefulness in the city.”

These efforts include mapping the park, surveying its vegetation and birdlife, planning for its trail and bridge renovations, arranging for park cleanups and organizing a photo contest about the park, its wildlife, landscapes and visitors.

GUEST COLUMN: A Response to Karl Rove

Is lack of focus on social issues hurting our nation?

By TERESE RAIA An op-ed by Karl Rove, published in the Wall Street Journal and in the Fort Bend Independent, titled “Are social issues hurting Republicans?� analyzed the effect of conservative positions on social issues such as abortion and homosexual marriage which some say will weaken the GOP’s chances of winning the Presidential election in 2016.

The analysis was based on recent polls that say the population of the U.S. is becoming more moderate and tolerant on homosexuality and staying about the same as in the recent past on abortion.

Given the massive open support of homosexuality by the mainstream media and aggressive lobbying by activist groups pushing those agendas, it’s no surprise that polls show changes on that issue. The propaganda machine supporting homosexuality is absolutely working.

While studies referenced by organizations such as Gallup and Bloomberg put estimates

of the homosexual population at between 2% and 4%, according to a recent Gallup poll in 2015, the general population believes 23% of the country is homosexual. Of interest, a 2013 Gallup poll said 10% of the population in Washington, D.C. was estimated to be homosexual, which may explain the emphasis by government ofďŹ cials.

Rove also indicated that the attitudes on abortion have been relatively static. But the abortion industry, with active support from many in the media, has worked for over 50 years to devalue unborn lives and propaganda continues to marginalize pro-life supporters as extremists while pro-abortion (couched as pro-choice) supporters are presented as moderate, although the killing of the unborn is considered by many to be extreme.

Unfortunately, while a tremendous amount of effort is focused at all levels of government on pro-abortion and pandering to sexual behavior and agendas of a very small

Raia percentage of the country, the nation faces incredible challenges related to international terrorism, border security, an economy where the middle and lower classes seem to be oundering at best, excessive taxation, and challenges on the world stage militarily from China in the Far East with Russia playing spoiler in Eastern Europe.

Rove’s article concluded

that the GOP must try to connect with and persuade groups that have not supported conservative social positions of many GOP candidates if there is any chance of retuning the nation to rational governance.

He infers that focusing on nonsocial issues would be a good strategy.

Non-social issues such as smaller government, less regulation, lower taxes, healthcare, national security, and jobs are at the forefront of concern for many citizens and many candidates will bluster and propose strategies to achieve those goals.

But, if there is no character, morality, or integrity underpinning those strategists, the outcome after past elections has proven to be business as usual with those in power directing beneďŹ ts to their supporters and themselves and the citizens being treated as inconsequential until the next election cycle.

Good governance cannot survive nor prosper when there is an absence of morality or integrity directing those

who are elected and in power.

Self-serving opportunists are not needed.

What is needed is individuals with character and wisdom who are not afraid to take positions on social issues and will clearly state what they believe and why they think it’s important that the nation focus not only on ďŹ nances and standards of living, but morality.

The nation and its leaders must regain a sense of morality and integrity. If the charac-

ter of the nation and its leaders continue on the current path with the primary focus on economics and social issues being sidelined, the prospects for future generations is indeed bleak.

News Dishaka Gourmet Imports plans for major expansion in Stafford

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Stafford City Council members unanimously voted to create Reinvestment Zone No. 24 in their town for Neway Business Park, which is off of Stafford Road between U.S. 90A and Beltway 8.

The reinvestment zone allows Fort Bend County to give Neway Business Park an abatement. Because Stafford has no property tax it can’t provide an abatement to the new business that will be inside its city limits.

Art Pertile, Stafford city attorney with Olson & Olson law firm, explained, “Because it’s inside the city, Stafford has to create the zone. They (Neway) already get a 100% tax abatement from the city. Regardless of what you get from anybody else,” Pertile told the applicant, “you get a 100 percent tax abatement from Stafford.”

The spokesperson for Dishaka, the company that requested a tax abatement from the county, is Kawal Oberoi, CEO of Dishaka. Background information to council says Dishaka was started in 1990 as an importer of Asian gourmet foods.

The business began in a 7,000 square-foot warehouse on Harwin and grew to a 15,000 square-foot warehouse.

In 2000 it outgrew that space and moved to a 54,000 square -foot warehouse with the intent to manufacture snacks.

The company began making Hispanic snacks in 2005 and as Dishaka got more experience, the line was dropped for a more mainstream brand called Simply 7. “The growth of S7 has been phenomenal,” according to background information provided by Oberoi.

On the trade side, Dishaka continues to sell rice and fried onions, which make up 90 percent of its trade sales. The company ships to 16 countries and to more than 30,000 U.S. grocery stores, according to Oberoi.

The new reinvestment zone has 9,083 acres in it and Dishaka will lease a 185,000 square foot warehouse owned by DSK Holding. Fifteen percent of the warehouse will be used for manufacturing, 30 percent for warehouse, 10 percent offices and 45 percent distribution.

Operations will be three shifts that run 24/7.

Cost of land was put at $1,700,000; buildings between $7-$8 million; equipment and machinery, $500,000; other, $150,000, for a total initial investment between $13 – $14

million.

Oberoi told council that the company plans to bring between 250-300 jobs to Fort Bend and that average salaries will be between $30,000$45,000 before benefits. The initial, annual local payrioll is expected to be between $7-$8 million.

For the next decade of growth, Oberoi said in background information, “We should have more than enough room to consolidate other warehouses. We currently use third party warehousing in several states along with two other locations in Houston for overflow of Salty Snacks finished goods. The warehouses label, load and ship finished goods. The increased space of the new location will eliminate those locations and increase

the number of total employees needed at the new site.”

The new business for Stafford will also grow the town’s motel/hotel tax receipts as Oberoi estimates his company will use more than 120 hotel stays per year.

The background information to council also notes that 80 percent of inventories will be considered Freeport goods, which means they cannot be held for more than 175 days before being shipped out of state.

When all was said, Mayor Leonard Scarcella asked if anyone wanted to speak at the public hearing regarding creating the reinvestment zone.

Three spoke in favor and none opposed it. The vote was taken and council moved on to the next agenda item.

Jurassic World

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Scion’s FR-S performance sports coupe is getting its style on for the 2016 model year.

For 2016 it has new interior improvements, a new standard audio system and a rear-view back up camera.

The Scion FR-S uses a 2.0-liter, flat boxer engine in a front-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration that makes 200 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque. With its low center of gravity and lightweight body, the FR-S handles well. These dynamics are further enhanced for 2015 with a more rigid front suspension and re-tuning of the rear shock absorbers.

COMMUNITY NEWS

‘No one is immune’ Julissa Duran and Amy West, co-chairs of the 6th annual American Cancer Society’s “Couture for the Cause” have an important message.

Julissa says, “Recently, I’d forgotten to schedule my annual mammogram in January, but wasn’t worried. I’m only 45 and the only cancer in my family was my dad, who had prostate cancer three years ago. In fact, I was serving on the Couture for the Cause committee in his honor! After my mammogram, they called back for more testing.

After 5 hours in radiology, I heard the terrifying words: “It looks like breast cancer.”

A biopsy confirmed I had Invasive Lobular Sarcoma, stage 2.”

“I joined this committee last year to help others, but never imagined I’d face cancer myself. As a single mom, I thought about my 14 year old daughter, Soleil. Will I see her graduate, get married, and have children? After the diagnosis, my ex-husband called ACS on my behalf.

They called to offer me a free wig and invited me to a support group. I felt comforted knowing they were there for me.

“Volunteering is now so personal. I know firsthand the difference that ACS makes! On April 6th, I underwent a 9-hour bilateral mastectomy. I wasn’t ready for this road bump, but will continue living every day to the fullest!”
