TreeHouses attract humans at HMNS

Look, who’s living in TreeHouses. Get out of your house and into the trees at the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land. This Summer, families can spend some quality time hanging out in the trees with a visit to the Houston Museum of Natural Science at Sugar Land’s newest exhibition, TreeHouses , until Aug. 23. TreeHouses provide fun, hands-on ways to explore the important roles that trees play in providing homes for all sorts of wild things (including people).

Incorporating all of the senses, this special exhibition engages forest explorers of all ages in indoor nature explorations and the ecology of sustainable harvesting of this important natural resource. Forest explorers of all ages can engage in the sights and sounds of our interactive jungle. For tickets and information, visit hmns.org.

HGI partners with Attack Poverty

Attack Poverty/Friends of North Richmond has been providing numerous programs, for years, to the residents of North Richmond, a nationally recognized pocket of extreme poverty, to help break the cycle of poverty.

“We offer many classes for school age students, such as homework assistance after school, summer programs and meals, activities and more.

For the parents, we offer job training, computer classes, and much, much more. Yet, the one piece that was missing was counseling to help our residents heal, find solutions, resolve challenges, and encourage them to grow healthy, mentally, emotionally and physically,” said Geoff Smith, director, Attack Poverty/Friends of North Richmond.

That missing piece Smith mentioned has now been filled.

Sugar Land awards design contract for Hwy.6 expansion Sugar Land City Council recently approved a $500,000 design contract with Brown & Gay Engineering for the expansion of State Highway 6 from Brooks Street to Lexington Boulevard.

The completed corridor will include four lanes in each direction.

The approved contract includes roadway design; drainage improvements; utility relocation; traffic signal, signage and pavement markings; landscaping; a cost estimate for construction; and a detailed construction schedule. Completion of the design is expected next year.

“State Highway 6 is a major arterial road for Sugar Land and provides connectivity throughout Fort Bend County,” said City Engineer Chris Steubing.

“The project is intended to address operational and geometric deficiencies and relieve traffic congestion along the corridor.”

The current configuration of the roadway does not adequately support the existing or future traffic volumes.

As additional activity centers are developed in Sugar Land (i.e., festival site, Smart Financial Centre, etc.) more motorists will travel through the area.

Providing connectivity between attractions such as Sugar Land Town Square, Constella-

tion Field and others is important as Sugar Land continues to emerge as a destination location for tourists.

The project will help support Sugar Land’s expanding sales tax base and improve mobility for residents.

The projected construction and right-of-way cost are esti-

mated at $7.6 million. The City has applied for federal funding that will cover 80 percent of the project’s cost.

The remaining 20 percent would come from local funding, with 50 percent of that funding earmarked in Fort Bend County’s 2013 mobility bond package.

NEWS make Fire Station 5 now open in Missouri city

Firs Colony SynchroStars waves at national meet

The First Colony SynchroStars recently competed in the 2015 Junior Olympics in Greensboro, NC. FCS had 16 athletes qualified for this competition. The following FCS Athletes placed in the top 10 in the nation: Abby Remmers – 10th in 13-15 Solo, Elizabeth Oh – 8th in 16-17 Solo, Hannah Chiu and Elizabeth Oh – 8th in 16-17 Duet and Abby Remmers, Christy Lee, Isabelle Duenas, Elizabeth Oh, Marelys Sanchez, Hannah Chiu, Nelly Akhmadikina and Gloria Chen placed third in 16-17 TeamTry outs for the SynchroStars will be held on Aug. 29 at the Stafford Municipal pool. Contact Coach Huff for details – coachhuff@swimfcst.com

On July 1, Missouri City Fire Station 5, located at 190 Waters Lake Blvd., officially opened its doors and began serving the southern portion of Sienna Plantation.

Officers and drivers for the new station were sworn in on Thursday, June 25, at a special ceremony at the City Centre at Quail Valley, 2880 La Quinta Dr. A grand opening ceremony for the public is being planned for Saturday, Aug. 15;visit the city’s website: www.missouricitytx.gov for details.

“The opening of Fire Station 5 has been greatly anticipated by City Council, staff and Sienna residents who will be served by the new station.

The hiring of new Fire and Rescue Services staff to man the station and drive fire and rescue vehicles will also alleviate the City’s other fire stations, benefiting residents across all districts,” Missouri City Mayor Allen Owen said.

“The new fire station will now open thanks to the agreement the City made with Si-

enna Plantation Municipal Utility District No. 1 for its funding and future operations.”

The 7,848 square feet new station was designed to add a third bay in the future.

The third bay can be used to house an ambulance or other resources depending on the resource needs of the area as the community reaches full build out.

“While the interior of the station provides the same functions as Fire Station 4, the layout is different to facilitate

additional firefighters in the future, improve functionality of the facility and to provide a more open living area,” Fire and Rescue Services Chief Russell Sander said.

“The exterior design is similar to the Sienna theme of the commercial development along Highway 6. The addition of the station will decrease response times in Sienna South by half, bringing it within national standards of five minutes and 20 seconds for the majority of the area.”

First, they are here in our community, in this area, and they are providing high quality, discreet counseling services. With Norma meeting and bonding with the children and parents so easily, this encourages the residents to seek counseling with her,� Smith said.

Plus, through the grant with The George Foundation, HGI does not charge residents of North Richmond since they are unable to afford these important services.

HGI’s doors at all of their locations are open to the community, and they do not turn anyone away, if they can afford to pay or not. HGI also works on a sliding scale, for those who are able to cover counseling services, with prices ranging from $5 to $115.

Smith said.

There are 1,650 families, or about 7,000 people in the North Richmond area.

FILM REVIEW: Max Max is a German Shepherd; if you like dogs, this movie will rip your heart out. It’s rated PG and all ages can relate to this story about Max who serves with the US Marines in Afghanistan as a search dog. As in, he searches for bombs and bad guys. His handler is Sgt. Tyler Wincott (Luke Kleintank) and they go into extreme hostile combat zones as a team and a deep loving bond develops between the man and the dog.

We dog lovers understand.

Get ready because heartbreak is just around the next bunker.

Sergeant Wincott doesn’t make it home and Max is crazy and no longer docile and trainable.

The Marines don’t want hostile Max when he gets back to the US. But the Wincott Family see Max as a loving piece of their dead son and brother. I told you this was a tear-jerker.

Hey, Larry H., thanks for ruining the movie for us.

Hold on, Theatre Breath!

The basic plot begins when Max starts living with the Wincotts and he quickly warms up to only one person – Sgt. Wincott’s little brother, Justin, played by Josh Wiggins. There’s a lot to be said for the smell of a person and Max knows a familiar scent when he sniffs little brother.

Justin is a typical teenage boy with a ‘tude with a taste of larceny He’s lived in the shadow of his older brother the hero Marine, and is crossways with his father (Thomas Haden Church), but he’s still able to give his mother (Lauren “Parenthood” Graham) a hug.

Max is suffering from doggie PTSD; it’s not pretty. But Justin’s summer-time girlfriend is pretty and good with dogs. And teenage boys.

There are some bad guys in this convoluted script who have big guns and mean dogs.

Forget the story. If you want to see a syrupy show about the ups and downs of Max, then this movie is for you.

However, while I was watching this movie in Theatre #5 at my local AMC, I had repeated feelings of wanting to scream at the screen; actually scream at Director/ Screenwriter Boaz Yakin – hey, Yakin, you wanna consider shooting that scene over and giving the actors another chance to get it right?”

This is not a movie for train-

ing students at the UCLA drama department. I repeat: “if you like emotional dog movies” then Boaz Yakin has one for you. Big winner is 16 year old Josh Wiggins.

But here’s an important update on the new recliners at some AMC theaters. My theater #5 had full leather recliners that allowed me to get so relaxed that it was hard to stay awake. AMC has committed $600 million to improve their theatres, so pay attention to the AMC near you. Rock ‘n Roll.
