Reese Vannerson, AAU Distance Triple Crown winner
Reese Vannerson won the distance triple crown in the 12-year-old division, finishing off the sweep by winning the 1500m (4:34.20) Thursday, Aug. 3. Earlier he won the 800m running 2:11.29, and the 3000m running 9:58.69. Vannerson was the only 12-year-old boy to run under ten minutes in the 3000m. There were five AAU National Championship records broken on day six of the AAU Junior
Olympic Games in Ypsilanti, Michigan. Reese Vannerson is a 7th grader at St. Laurence Catholic School. He is the son of Rodney and Lisa Vannerson, residents of Riverpark subdivison in Sugar Land. After taking home three gold medals at the AAU Junior Olympics, Reese told an interviewer that he did not even know what triple meant. “I wanted to win at least one, maybe two, but I never thought that I would win three,” Vannerson said. He medaled in three events, including the 3000, 1500 and 800 meter runs. In the 800 meter run, he even turned in his personal best. As Reese gets bigger, stronger, faster, his ultimate goal is not far off: he says he wants to earn a medal in the U.S. Olympics one day. He has been affiliated High Velocity Youth Track. He is now on the road to USAT Youth and Junior National Championship to try to improve on his 2nd place finish from last year.
County Judge proclaims ‘Clear the Shelters Days’
On Tuesday, Aug. 8, during Commissioners Court, Fort Bend County Judge Bob Hebert proclaimed Saturday, August 19 and Sunday, August 20 as Clear the Shelters Days at the Fort Bend County Animal Services Shelter.

Are community newspapers “litter” or “literature”
Can I ask you please, please, please do not deliver to Sugar Mill neighborhood? We would all appreciate it very much. Please consider just delivering it to the 2 people who might read it instead of the 1000’s who don’t want it delivered. On my walk this morning, I picked up about 20 newspapers that have been left on the street all week. See attached. People don’t even pick it up out of their driveway and it becomes soggy trash. The newspaper is basically littering the entire neighborhood and we don’t want it. Do I need to call the City of Sugar Land to have these papers stopped? We have enough trouble with people throwing trash out of their cars to have to deal with newspapers littering the entire neighborhood on purpose. WE DO NOT WANT YOUR
PAPER DELIVERED TO SUGAR MILL. IF WE WANT IT, WE CAN GET IT FROM A NEWS STAND. PLEASE,PLEASE, PLEASE STOP THROWING YOUR PAPER IN SUGAR MILL. I will call the Mayor of Sugar Land if I have to to stop you littering the neighborhood. Thank you very much for your consideration. I received this email last week. This is not the first one of its kind, but I have been receiving such calls for more than 20 years that I have been associated with community newspapers in Fort Bend County. That many people do not pick up the paper or read it is true. If I received one call requesting the newspaper be delivered in their neighborhood, the following week three people would call asking the de-
livery be stopped. We recognize the right of an individual to read or not to read the paper, and to receive it or not. If we received a phone call or an email from a resident asking that the paper not be delivered to their home, we take it seriously and comply with their request. At the same time, I am compelled to take issue with those who call the newspaper “litter” or “trash.” One may find a newspaper “trash” after reading its content. What is litter for one person, may be literature for another. A general call for stopping the newspaper delivery based on one’s desire “to save the trees” or to “save the environment” is again one point of view that may not be shared by all. For the environmentallyconscious people, we have an option: They can get the newspaper in digital form and we can email the paper to them, if they sign up for the same. That there is a decline in newspaper readership is not in dispute and it is a reflection, in part, of society’s interest in civic matters as evidenced by people’s poor participation in the voting process. The number of people voting in local and national elections is abysmally low. That trend also shows the apathy or indifference of people towards happenings in their schools, neighborhoods, city governments, justice sys-
tem or elsewhere. I want to cite one example here. Last week, the City of Sugar Land sent a press release seeking feedback on the “Proposed Budget Emphasizing Financial Resiliency, Maximum Proposed Property Tax Rate.” “A public hearing on a proposed $231 million budget for fiscal year 2018 is scheduled for Aug. 15, at 6 p.m., at Sugar Land City Hall, 2700 Town Center Blvd. North. “Public hearings on the proposed 2017 tax rate are scheduled at the same location on Aug. 22 at 5:30 p.m. and Sept. 5 at 6 p.m. “During the first budget workshop on Aug. 3, council members expressed concern about the decrease in funding available for rehabilitation due to the slowdown in sales tax revenue and valuations that have fallen below projections. “Accordingly, City Council discussed three potential tax rates during a workshop on Aug. 10: *Keeping the current rate of 31.595 cents would require budget cuts of $802,710 from the proposed budget, resulting in a reduction in service levels. *The effective tax rate plus 3 percent of 32.233 cents funds the budget as proposed and is consistent with the City Council-adopted Financial Management Policy Statements.
*A rate of 33.007 cents, which would fund the FY18 budget as proposed and provide for replenishing rehabilitation funds reduced in the proposed budget by recovering revenue lost through the decline in sales tax revenue approved for property tax reduction equal to .774 cents on the 2017 property tax rate. City Council will continue to discuss budget and tax rate considerations at future meetings. At the Aug. 15 meeting, City Council will also take a vote to consider a maximum proposed 2017 tax rate up to 33.007 cents per $100 at a future meeting. Proposed rates for consideration must be posted by law and are for discussion purposes only; a final decision to approve the budget and set a tax rate is not scheduled until Sept. 19. For more information on the budget, proposed tax rate and public hearings, visit www.sugarlandtx.gov/ budget.” Going by past experience, one or two people may show up to speak at the public hearing and most of the time, no one goes to speak. If one or two people go, that may be because they read the news about the public hearing in the newspaper. Houston TV stations do not give such public service announcements. The information is available on the city website. How many people would
be visiting the city website to know what is happening? Thus, the community newspaper is the only reliable source of such information. Again, if someone says I don’t care, that is his or her prerogative. As the Sugar Land resident mentioned in the email, it is our obligation to deliver the newspaper to the “two people” who want it. We err on the side of caution and believe that people who do not specifically call for stopping the delivery want the newspaper or at least don’t mind taking it and placing it in the trash can. Some nasty residents would say, they use it for their bird cage. What an irony? In the only country in the world, where “free speech” is an inviolable Constitutional right, we are talking about stopping the newspaper delivery. That may be called “free non-speech.”
If you do not want to receive the newspaper, please call 281-980-6745 and leave a message, giving your address. If you want to receive the paper by email, you can visit fbindependent.com and sign up for receiving news via email. If you want to read the newspaper on your mobile phone, you can download the “FBInd” app from the Apple store or the Google Play store free. —SESHADRI KUMAR

Missouri City’s crime clearance rate is 4 points above state average By BARBARA FULENWIDER Missouri City Police Chief Mike Berezin presented the city’s yearly crime report to city council members at their Aug. 6 meeting and some numbers were flat and some were not. The MCPD now has 106 sworn officers and 43 nonsworn, “which is the largest department we’ve ever had,” Berezin said. His department now works three shifts and has seven vacancies, which “is a tremendous improvement over the 24 percent we saw last year.” He said his department needs two more patrol officers, one in detention, one in telecommunications, one in code enforcement, one in records and an assistant police chief. Berezin also said Missouri
City pays the same salary as other nearby police departments. Then he went on to the statistics the department must compile annually for the FBI. He said calls for code enforcement increased greatly from 2014 when the police department did not track such. They now have code enforcement employees in their department so he has seen the numbers rise. Calls for code enforcement in 2014 were 3,532, compared to 7,412 in 2015 and 9,543 in 2016. Total police and fire calls in 2014 were 124,208 compared to 121,009 in 2015 and 123,360 last year. Police calls were 111,569 in 2014; 104,418 in 2015 and 107,632 in 2016. Fire calls went from 5,693 three years
County calls for $218 million mobility bond election By SESHADRI KUMAR The Fort Bend County Commissioners Court has ordered a bond election to be held on Nov. 7. At a special meeting on Aug.9, commissioners court approved a proposition to issue bonds worth $218.58 million to improve mobility in the county. The outstanding principal of the County’s bonds secured by ad valorem taxes as of the beginning of the County’s fiscal year-beginning October 1, 2016 is $410.56 million.
Town Hall meeting on “Foreclosure epidemic”
State Rep. Ron E. Reynolds has invited a panel of foreclosure experts, including attorney Eraka Childs and LaTrice Martin of Save Your Properties, LLC (SYP), to a town hall meeting to discuss the foreclosure epidemic affecting our families and the elderly. The experts will discuss the various circumstances that lead to foreclosure and what homeowners can do to prevent foreclosure. This meeting is the first of five town hall meetings to discuss foreclosures. Each meeting will be held at a different church in or near Houston, TX and will be hosted by a city council member in that church’s district. Who: Rep. Ron E. Reynolds and a Panel of Mortgage Loan Experts What: Town Hall Meeting to Discuss Foreclosure Prevention Where: Missouri City Baptist Church 16816 Quail Park Drive Missouri City, TX 77489 When: Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017, 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Contact: (713) 510-0073.
The debt service tax rate for the County as of the date of this order is $0.076 per $100 valuation of taxable property. If the proposition is approved and the bonds proposed were authorized and issued, the County’s ad valorem debt service tax rate is projected to increase by $0.076 per $100 of assessed valuation. Early voting will be from Oct. 23 to Nov. 3. Election days is Nov. 7
ago to 5,701 in 2015 and 6,104 last year. Berezin said most of the calls to the fire department were for medical help. The Uniform Crime Report (UCR) for Part 1 Crimes jumped from 969 in 2012 to 1,408 in both 2015 and 2016. Part I crimes are murder and non-negligent homicide, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, motor vehicle theft, larceny theft and arson. In the past five years beginning with 2012, Missouri City had 87 violent crimes, then 61; 133; 144; and 145. Property crimes numbered 882 in 2012, 1,117 in 2013, 1,159 in 2014, 1,264 in 2015 and 1,263 this past year. Part I property crimes are burglary, larceny and auto theft. Larceny has the most with 617 in 2012, then 857, 848, 926 and 953 in 2016. Burglaries numbered 217 in 2012 and in subsequent years were 185, 206, 229 and 216. Auto thefts were the lowest of the three property crimes. There were 48 in 2012, 75 in 2013, 196 in 2014, 109 the next year and 94 in 2016. Burglaries in 2015 were 229 compared to 216 in 2016. Larceny cases totaled 926 in 2015 and jumped to 953 the next year. Auto thefts decreased from 109 in 2015 to 94 in 2016. Total property crimes beginning in 2012 to 2016 numbered 74,139; 69,774; 72,625; 71,482 and 74,139. In 2015 the murder rate was one and in 2016 it was
four; rape cases in 2015 were 25 compared to 22 in 2016; robberies were 54 versus 56 and aggravated assaults numbered 64 compared to 63 a year ago. “We had an uptick in murders with four. We don’t want that trend to continue. Aggravated assaults and murder are what really hurt us (department statistics),” the chief said. “Murder is almost never heard of in Missouri City.” Berezin went on to the UCR Part II crimes, which are a smorgasbord of offenses and are down in Missouri City. They include simple assault (fist fight or shoving), fraud, vandalism, DUI, vagrancy, drunkenness, drug abuse, disorderly conduct, etc. The chief said, “We don’t have people attacking people very often but we have had more homicides this year than we did since 2011. We’ve solved three of the four and know who the fourth” assailant is. “Property crimes clearly out number violent crimes. Compared to 145 of Part 1 violent crimes there are 1,245 total crimes for Part II. The big downturn is in auto thefts,” he said. Berezin also said the average patrol response time is still 46 seconds below the three minutes the department seeks. “Even though our nonemergency time is right at or below other jurisdictions, we’re not going to walk away
from the three-minute limit.” As for the department’s clearance rate of cases they are at 24 percent compared to 23 percent in 2014 and 27 percent in 2015. The state’s rate is 20 percent, so Missouri City is four percentage points above the state average. Then the chief went on to talk about how Data-Driven Approach to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) helps his department. The goal is to reduce crime, crashes and traffic violations. The system “integrates location-based crime and traffic data to establish effective and efficient methods for deploying enforcement and other resources.” Berezin said, “Most crimes now days are tied to a motor vehicle one way or another. We established a data drive approach on traffic safety.” He noted that the department has reduced property type crimes by 15 percent with 38 fewer. “We are working to be as
transparent as possible We will be able to track crime on our current website because every 24 hours crime reports will go online so people can see what’s going on in their community 24/7. We are the first police department to do this in the Houston area.” He also told council that the department’s black and white patrol vehicles are going all black and that now there are currently three canine cops, provided by grants, that are doing their dogly duties. Berezin also noted that residents in Hunter’s Glen I and II and Quail Valley are the best three neighborhoods in the city for reporting crimes to the police department and that if more citizens would like to be on a crime watch his sergeants “will gladly put them through the training.” “We continue to be committed to our community engagement. We cannot fight crime alone. We cannot alone build the value of this community. It’s a partnership,” the chief said.

FOR the proposal:
but it’s not just about the sex. In fact, “fewer than 10 percent of the spouses thought that good sexual relations kept their marriage together.” The good news is that friendship, and especially commitment, are more stable than sex and eroticism. To the extent that couples begin their relationships on the basis of sexual attraction, the stability of their marriage is a long shot. To the extent that they begin their relationship with commitment and friendship, they are exponentially more likely to establish a stable fruitful relationship and a happy home. Ian McEwan is a modern writer dealing with modern struggles in our human relationships. The main characters in On Chesil Beach experienced some of these difficulties on their honeymoon night. Unfortunately, they had not learned that it’s not just about the sex. If McEwan keeps the same focus in the film adaptation, it will be a movie worth seeing. -- Dr. Gary L. Welton is assistant dean for institutional assessment, professor of psychology at Grove City College, and a contributor to The Center for Vision & Values.

The FORT BEND CO. M.U.D. #48 will hold a public hearing on a proposed tax rate for the tax year 2017 on September 14, 2017 at 11:30 am at 16555 Southwest Freeway, Suite 200, Sugar Land, Texas 77479. Your individual taxes may increase or decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and the tax rate that is adopted.
It would appear that our 21st century culture needs a novel like On Chesil Beach to remind us that it’s not just about the sex. A classic study (“Marriages Made to Last”) by Jeanette and Robert Lauer, popularly summarized in the June 1985 edition of Psychology Today, asked 351 couples, each married at least 15 years, to respond to a brief survey about the factors that stabilized their relationship. Completing the surveys separately, the wives did not ignore sex, and ranked “We agree about our sex life” as the 14th most important reason for the success of their marriage. Of course, sex is more important to men. Husbands ranked that option as 12th most important. In happily married stable relationships, it’s not just about the sex. In fact, husbands and wives gave almost identical answers. Their rankings are exactly the same for the seven most important factors: 1. My spouse is my best friend. 2. I like my spouse as a person. 3. Marriage is a long-term commitment. 4. Marriage is sacred. 5. We agree on aims and goals. 6. My spouse has grown more interesting. 7. I want the relationship to succeed. Of course it’s about the sex,

Water District Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Rate
By DR. GARY WELTON I maintain a “Top 20” list of my favorite novels. According to my own rules, a book is not eligible for the list until I have reread it. Without comparison, my favorite is Dostoyevsky’s The Possessed. Reading it was the only time in my life that I finished a tome one day and started it again the next. In addition to three Dostoyevsky novels, my list includes multiple works by Hugo, Potok, Undset, and Tolstoy. It’s been six or eight years since I have made any changes to the list, reflecting my recent tendency to read more popular fiction. This summer, however, I have been working through Ian McEwan and have just added On Chesil Beach to my “Top 20” list (which now includes 27 novels—what’s a man to do?). McEwan is a promiscuous author, and some of his novels cross the line of what I consider to be acceptable. In this short novel, however, all of the sex takes place (if that’s the right description) on the wedding night, within the covenant of marriage. One finishes the novel with the clear didactic conclusion that marriage is not just about the sex. On Chesil Beach was published in 2007 and was nominated for the Booker Prize. It has been self-adapted by Ian McEwan for a film version, expected to be released in January 2018. The content of our popular literature is often so extremely promiscuous that I am now afraid to recommend any novels, for fear that I will be associated with the sexual content. Our culture has concluded that relationships are defined by sex. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that more than half of our high school seniors report that they have been sexually active.

It’s not just about the sex
S
Granto My eldest son was in the band in eighth grade, and at some point in the school year there was a concert. Quite naturally, I wanted to go, and just as naturally, work seemed destined to eat up huge chunks of my time that day. Fortunately, by dint of a little arm-twisting, I got the people involved off their col-
lective sit-downs and on their feet, in motion. We got where we had to get, and I got moving to attend my son’s concert, turning down all the “Gosh, let’s go celebrate with dinner and drinks!” noise, and all the “What? You’re not going to come?” guilt-noise that such moments generate. I had found by then that a simple, direct, “No.” was the single best response, without an explanation attached. (I didn’t much care for explanations, anyway.) I probably drove a little too fast getting home to pick up the family, but we did manage to get to the concert in time to get good seats. My son was
and the nonsense from heavyweights. All of that stuff was what I did to take care of the four of them, and it really didn’t matter that sometimes, it was trying. What mattered was why I did it. What mattered was that one, clear chime, in the midst of all the noise.

By MIKE GRANTO A long, long, time ago, in a galaxy far, far, away (sorry Lord Vader) I had a corporate job. Had it for about twenty years. It was a typical corporate job in many ways; lots of travel, lots of deadlines, lots of pressure, and lots of heavyweights issuing sometimes contradictory directives. I was pretty good at it, but, like a lot of guys, I sometimes wondered what the heck I was doing it for. It sometimes seemed like a treadmill, or a merry-go-’round. Things always seemed to be moving fast, and there never seemed to be enough time for everything.
tell you what I DO remember: during one rendition of a fairly rousing piece by some probably famous composer, there were a few beats of complete silence. After the music, the silence came as a surprise, almost a shock. And in that silence, I heard one, clear chime. My son had just struck a note on the triangle, and for just a second, everything else in the world just stopped. One clear, sweet little chime in a short silence in the midst of some rousing symphony or other. That one clear chime represented my son, his younger brother, his sister, and my wife, and it had a powerful effect on me. I teared up. That little chime represented the reason I dealt with the travel, the deadlines, the pressure,

in his band uniform; black pants, a short-sleeved white shirt, and a school-provided light blue-gray vest with black piping. He was tall, and didn’t seem the least concerned about his role in the concert. He was in the percussion section, and as you might expect, liked the noise. As everyone filed in and took their seats, the band tuned their instruments. To this day, that’s one of my favorite parts of any concert: Listening to the band or orchestra tune their instruments. I feel like I’m getting a behind-thescenes glimpse at the secret workings of a process I only remotely understood. I wish I could tell you what selections the band played that the band played. I can’t. I just don’t remember. But I’ll

Elkins High School band named finalist at TMEA Honors Band Competition The EHS Honors Band began recording its entry in April following vigorous practices held before, during and after school. Their program included “Scossa Elettrica” (The Electric Shock) by Giacomo Puccini, “Candide Suite” by Leonard Bernstein and “Donna Diana Overture” by Emil von Reznicek. “The literature our Honors Band performed was advanced for their age and on par with college-level material,” said Collins. “We submitted the recording of our performances to the regional competition, which was held June 8. Our band was one of only two in Region 13 to move on to area, which includes the entire Houston area.”
Congratulations to the Elkins High School Honors Band on its recent success at the Texas Music Educators’ Association (TMEA) Honor Band Competition, held in July. The EHS Honors Band, directed by Chad Collins, was named an Honor Band Finalist after earning 12th place at the competition that welcomed more than 250 Class 5A Texas bands. This is the band’s first time in the school’s history to place at the state level competition. TMEA hosts the Honor Band Competition every other year for Class 5A bands throughout the state. Participating bands record and submit their best work for judging at the regional level, with an opportunity to advance to area and state levels.
Based on its exemplary recording, the Elkins Honors Band earned first place at the area contest in June and received the honor of representing Houston at the state level. On July 20, TMEA announced El-
kins as a State Honor Band Finalist after the band ranked 12th among competing bands. The Elkins band joins three other FBISD bands (including Clements, Dulles and Ridge Point) selected as finalists.
