Fort Bend County plans to cut tax rate by less than a penny

By SESHADRI KUMAR Fort Bend County tax payers will see a 0.876 cent drop in the county property tax rate for 2015.

On Tuesday, Commissioners Court unanimously approved the proposed total tax rate of 48.60 cents per $100 valuation, down from the current rate of 49.48 cents, including the general fund, road and bridge fund, debt service fund and drainage district fund.

The county’s estimated tax revenue in all funds is estimated at $265 million, about $20 million more than last year.

The county’s net assessed value of property is $55.76 billion. Property worth $2.66 billion is under review by the Appraisal Review Board.

The county gets a revenue of $5.44 million for each penny of tax levied. Thus, the county will forfeit about $4.7 million in tax revenue by the proposed tax cut.

Even after this revenue reduction, the county is expected get more than $20 million in additional revenue, thanks to the growth in new property and

an average 12 percent increase in existing property appraisal value.

County commissioners also approved a 4.4 percent increase in elected officials’ salary.

County employees are also expected to get a 4 percent pay raise in the proposed budget for 2015-2016.

The proposed annual salary for county judge will be $127,231 from the current salary of $121,869.

County commissioner’s salary will go up from $116,066 to $121,172.

The sheriff’s annual salary is the same as that of the county judge in Fort Bend County.

The county attorney gets the same salary as the commissioners, $27 231. The proposed salary for the district clerk, county clerk and the tax assessor/collector will be $118,143.

The county treasurer’s proposed salary is $115,114.

The Justice of the Peace will get $106,026 and the Constable, $98,453.

The commissioners will hold a public hearing on the proposed tax rate on Thursday,

September 3, 2015, at 5:30 p.m. and on Tuesday, September 8, 2015, at 1:00 p.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom, on the second floor of the Fort Bend County Courthouse at 401 Jackson Street in Richmond.

The commissioners court has set public hearings for the FY 2016 Proposed Budget for Fort Bend County, on Monday, September 21, 2015, at 5:30 p.m. and on Tuesday, September 22, 2015, at 1:00 p.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom, on the second floor of the Fort Bend County Courthouse at 401 Jackson Street in Richmond.

Meanwhile, the commissioners court is set to meet on Wednesday, Aug. 19, to call for a $120 million bond election in November.

The proposed bond sales are not expected to result in any tax increase.

The bond referendum is expected to have four propositions as the bond money is meant for park facilities, fair grounds, libraries and for the expansion of the Justice Center.

Exhibits on Creative Aging

Mamie George Community Center, Catholic Charities, and the KCAM - Katy Contemporary Arts Museum have teamed up in efforts to present an eloquent exhibition based on the exploration of artistic creation in later years of life. A collaboration noting a positive force in the community, the seniors that visit Mamie George on a daily basis come from all walks of life. Driven to provide opportunities of expression, this community center provides senior citizens a chance to expand their physical abilities, express their minds, and experiment with visual art. Featuring an array of artists, this exhibition displays the works of those who have actively chosen to be involved in the arts later in life. Creative Aging will help raise funds for the continuing of the art programs at Mamie George Community Center, a Catholic Charities facility.

“When asked for a statement about the art of creative aging, I found it difficult to put my feelings into words…” stated Dee Koch, Director of Community Engagement for The George Foundation. “I am truly in a wonderful place in life, and I have gotten here one day at a time with the love of family and friends.

I don’t dwell on aging but instead on seeking the best and new experiences each day offers. I enjoy taking photos so that my experiences can come alive for others! It is wonderful to have this opportunity to also share these images with our community through the generosity of KCAM.” Artists featured in this unique show are all residents of Fort Bend County: Painter Claire Payne, who is turning 80 and began painting after her husband’s death. Photographer Dee Koch, who is 71 and continues to work fulltime in the non-profit arena. Sculptor Lee Benner, who is 68, has been a sculptor most of his life and is collaborating with the KCAM in the community center exhibition. The Creative Aging opening reception will be on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2015 from 6 to 8 p.m at KCAM. The exhibition will run through Sept. 13, 2015.

NEWS Missouri City man sentenced to 45 years for murder

Obituary: Constable A. J. Dorr Fort Bend County Pct. 1 Constable Arthur “A.J.” Dorr died this past week at age 63 after a two-year battle with cancer.

His death occurred on Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the Cambridge Rehabilitation Center in Richmond. Burial services were Saturday, Aug. 15, at St. Emanuel Church of Christ in Needville.

Dorr was a well known and well liked public figure in Fort Bend for many years.

He was born in Crowley, LA., in 1952 but grew up in Needville and graduated from Needville High School.

With his diploma earned he joined the Marine Corps for four years and completed his tour of duty as a sergeant in fewer than three years.

He then enrolled at Sam Houston State University where he got an undergraduate degree in law enforcement and police science.

With his sheepskin in hand, Dorr began his police training with the Houston Police Department (HPD) in 1977.

After completing his training he worked as a HPD patrol officer and in the vice divisions for 10 years. In 1986 he returned to his roots in Needville as the town’s chief of police.

He served in that job for another decade and during that time earned a bevy of awards and accolades for the numerous gifts he provided for his com-

Dorr munity. Dorr’s many acts of kindness included coordinating numerous food and toy drives, volunteering with Needville Senior Citizens and serving as auction chair for various fundraising events.

Dorr also served as a Needville Youth Fair director from 1987 to 2013 and was president twice during that time.

He was a lifetime member, a past president of the Fort Bend County Fair Association and a board of director for many years. Last year he treated members of the Fort Bend County Women’s Center to an evening at the county fair.

The constable also served as a past vice president of Immanuel United Church of Christ and was a board member of the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo.

After 10 years with HPD and another decade as Needville’s chief of police, Dorr ran for

Constable, Pct. 1 and won. Voters kept him in that job from 1987 to 2015.

Dorr is survived by his wife of 26 years, Sandra Todd Dorr, of Needville; son Michael Poe and wife Stephanie of Needville; daughter Alexis Dorr of Needville and fiancé Jimmy Deremer of Katy; daughter Andrea Dorr of Houston; grandchildren Kelton and Keylan Poe of Needville and Audrey Dorr of Houston; father Arnold J.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Theresa Dorr, of Needville; brother, Arnold J. Dorr Jr.; and sister, Margaret Hoelewyn.

Condolences may be sent to the Dorr family at Garmany & Carden Funeral Directors, 3103 School St., Needville, TX, or at www.garmanycarden.com.

A jury sentenced Antonnyer Morrison, II to 45 years in prison on August 10, 2015 for murder a week after convicting him of the same.

The 21-year-old Missouri City man was charged with the 2010 murder after an intense investigation by the Tri-City Special Crimes Unit.

The defendant was only 16 years old when he killed his victim, but was certified to stand trial as an adult for the heinous crime.

According to Assistant District Attorneys Matthew Banister and Amanda Bolin, both with the Narcotics and Gangs Division, 19-year-old Kristian Sullivan was found shot to death in the front yard of his grandparents’ Missouri City home in the early morning of August 26, 2010. Suspected to be the latest casualty of an ongoing gangland war between two criminal street gangs; 100 Clikk and F.A.B. (Forever about Bread), Missouri City Police responded to find Sullivan had been shot 14 times at close range. The Stafford, Missouri City and Sugar Land Tri-City Special Crimes Unit took over the investigation that culminated in over a year

Two steal sunglasses worth $4,800 Sugar Land police are looking for a man and woman who stole more than $4,800 in sunglasses from Lens Crafters in First Colony Mall,16535 Southwest Freeway, on July 31 at 6:40 p.m.

The manager said the store was busy that afternoon and evening, and no one noticed the glasses were missing until later that night. The glasses are typically displayed on a wall at the front of the store.

Surveillance video shows the man removing the glasses and placing them in the female’s purse.

The suspects were both Hispanic. The man was about 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighed approximately 150-170 pounds and wore a black shirt and black pants. The woman was 5 feet 4 inches tall, about 125 pounds and wore a gray shirt and black pants.

Anyone with information should call the Sugar Land Police Department at (281) 275-2540 or Fort Bend County Crime Stoppers at (281) 342-TIPS (8477).

Morrison of collaborative detective work encompassing interviews of dozens of citizens and documented gang members. Leads in the case resulted in the arrest of Antonnyer Morrison, II, Joshua Patterson and Sterlyn Edwards. Both Patterson and Edwards were previously convicted and sentenced to 50 years in prison for their roles in the murder.

During Morrison’s trial, the State presented evidence to the jury of Morrison’s strong allegiance to the 100 Clikk gang. Retaliation for the shooting of his close friend and known gang associate, Rene Moreno, motivated Morrison to help plan the murder. The defendant was also one of the two shooters who caught the

victim unarmed, and unaware of the plot against him, in his own front yard.

“The sentence this jury imposed is a clear message that gang violence of any sort, against any victim, will not be tolerated by the citizens in our communities,” said prosecutor Amanda Bolin.

“The loss of life at such a young age is tragic,” added Assistant District Attorney Matthew Banister. “If the jury’s verdict in this case serves to redirect even one young person away from the gang mystique that lies to our youth, we can make our neighborhoods and our children safer.”

Morrison was tried in the 240th District Court before Visiting Judge Larry Wagenbach. Murder is a first-degree felony punishable by 5-99 years or life in prison and a fine up to $10,000.

Morrison must serve at least one-half of the 45-year sentence before he is eligible for parole. Assistant District Attorneys Matthew Banister and Amanda Bolin prosecuted the case.

Attorneys John Pizzitola and Elan Levy represented the defendant.

By CAROLYN BOWDEN Three and one-half years later Heaven on Earth was again under construction. Susan Douglas married Hugh T. Reed in 1986 and together they moved forward to complete the Master Plan.

TIFFANY HALL: First they built a 50’ x 60’ Ball Room and named it in honor of the spectacular chandelier which hangs in the center of the 36 foot tall cathedral ceiling. It was said to have been in a famous “house of ill-repute” on the West Coast around the turn of the century.

A romantic twin staircase from London, England found

in an old church and similar to one in the film, “Gone with the Wind”, creates a breathtaking “Grand Entrance” from the mezzanine above a dressing area for the wedding party.

“Celestial Wing” is off the main Hall and was designed as a band stand or private nook. The focal point of this wing is three 8’ x 8’ cylindrical glass pane windows from an old warehouse which create an almost mystical illusion that is extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.

On the opposite side of Tiffany Hall is a “Conservatory”,

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) www.bibleliterature.com

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS

Heaven on Earth – Completing the master plan

Bowden referred to as the Rennaissance Room, designed from Gothic architectural decorative details found in a European cathedral.

Perched precariously above a unique incomparable 21’ Gothic fireplace is a triple stained glass window with imposing 12’ tall baldachin choir benches. Evidence of candle wax is still prevalent in these pews.

A pair of matching stained glass windows, graced by other antiques, doors and windows from the antiquated church, complete the scenario in this remarkable chamber.

At either end of Tiffany Hall are “Smoking and Rest Rooms”.

This is a “Victorian Ladies Sitting Room” complete with a S-shaped sofa on which two people can sit face to face for a private conversation. It also has a powder room so well camouflaged that most do not recognize it as such.

Instead of the typical basin there is an ornamental fountain and lavabo lavatory which intrigues the guests but also confuses them as to how to

operate it. The “Gentlemen’s Room” has a smoking room with heavy Oriental teakwood furniture and with its lavabo lavatory there is a masculine lion-faced fountain.

These two areas have 100 year old draperies from a prominent estate in Houston.

ROOMS OF LESSER PROMINENCE: On the second and third levels, nine of the rooms are bedrooms.

All are tastefully decorated with fine antiques, each of a different period of time. It was very important to Mrs. Douglas that her home was “never” boring or repetitious.

NO TWO ROOMS ARE ALIKE: When Mr. & Mrs. Douglas began restoring the original structure of the house and increasing its size, an effort was made to conform to the classic architecture of the main house.

Therefore, all new wings were built from old timbers, using doors, windows, fireplaces, staircases and flooring from old homes, schools, churches and buildings that were being demolished. From the beginning of the renovation of this historical house, Mr. Douglas made decisions as they related to the architectural design to make sure they reflected the turn of the century.

Mrs. Douglas was a “romantic” and began to furnish the house in early 1900’s furniture with “turn of the century” décor dated 1800’s to early 1900’s.

No two rooms are alike, although the color red, in many variations from orange to burgundy, is prevalent in ev-

ery room. She was constantly searching for new ideas, usually evolving from an architectural antique.

For example, when she found a piece she liked it was bought and placed in storage. She then searched for other pieces to complement this established “focal point” and when enough items were obtained she designed a room around these similar features.

Never did she build a room first and then furnish and accessorize it.

This is the reason every piece of furniture, windows, doors, staircases, etc. are symmetrical and fit their space perfectly. Once a room is completed she never allows anything to be moved or changed in any way.

In 1999 Hugh T. Reed died and once again, as a widow, Susan was left to continue the business of the Heaven on Earth. The master plan had been completed in 1995 , bringing to an end the Douglas’ dream of a reproduction of a Southern Colonial Estate in the 1800’s.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION: The information for the previous columns was courtesy of an article that Susan wrote in 1994, entitled: The Story of “Heaven on Earth.” Some changes within the house by the new owner, Tamara Vogt, are being made.

For example, City fire code no longer allows smoking areas inside public buildings. Some furnishings may be relocated within the house and a different color of paint in some of the rooms.

If you have any questions while on tour of the house, just ask the tour guide.

The Sugar Land Skeeters will host a big sendoff celebration on Sunday, Aug. 23, for First Colony Little League’s Challenger Division for special needs players, who are going to Williamsport, Penn., to play in the 2015 Little League World Series Challenger Division exhibition game on Aug. 29.

Sugar Land Mayor James Thompson will introduce the team during the middle of the fourth inning in the Skeeters vs.

Bridgeport Bluefish game that begins at 5:05 p.m. Scheduled to join Mayor Thompson in the celebration is U.S. Rep. Pete Olson (R-TX).

The Skeeters and their players are hosting a private celebration for the team in the Insperity Club of Constellation Field from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Key Dream League World Series sponsors and VIPs will throw first pitches and players will be on the field with the Skeeters players as “baseball buddies” to start the game.

The First Colony league, known as the Dream League, is one of two Challenger Division leagues in the nation – out of 900 Challenger programs -- invited to send a team to play in this annual exhibition game. The group of more than 75 team and family members, coaches and supporters depart early Thursday, Aug. 27.

“It is a great honor for Sugar Land to be so well represented by these young athletes,” said Mayor Thompson.

The Dream League, founded in 2007, is part of the Challenger Division of Little League International providing the opportunity for physically and/or intellectually challenged players to experience the fun of Little League baseball. First Colony LL will play State College, Penn., Little League in the exhibition game.

In addition to the 15 players and families, FCLL will also take 15 “Angels in the Outfield,” who are middle, high school and college age buddies for the special needs players, assisting them throughout the game in the areas of batting, base running and defense and being their companion as needed.

Dream League is committed to covering all costs of the trip so the families will not have a financial burden in order to participate. The league received major underwriting for the trip from the Deacons of Deadwood, the Clines family, Memorial Hermann Health System, Texas Children’s Hospital, Minute Maid, H-E-B and Precision Task Group.

KUHT-TV, TV8 PBS, will carry a delayed broadcast of the Aug. 29 game on Sept. 12 at 4:00 p.m. and again on Sept. 13 on Ch. 8.2 at 9:00 p.m.

To help support The Dream League’s trip to Williamsport, donations can be made at www.gofundme.com/kgvmwg. First Colony Dream League, as part of Little League International, is a 501c3 charitable organization.

Dream League completed its ninth season this year with 100 players on eight teams in two divisions, Dream League and the new Senior Dream League for older players.

AUTOMOBILE: Acura TLX

By BARBARA FULENWIDER As Acura’s premier sport sedan, the 2015 TLX offers more power and drivetrain choices than before, with two new direct-injected engines, two completely new advanced transmissions and Acura’s next-generation precision handling all wheel drive system.

The TLX is available in both all-wheel-drive and front-wheel drive . Frontwheel drive models come standard with all-wheel steer and can be equipped with either the 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, or 3.5-liter V6 engines. The TLX next-generation all-wheel drive, is available only with the V-6 engine.

The TLX’s two new direct injection engines combine power and efficiency.

The 2.4-liter DOHC i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine produces a peak 206 horsepower and 182 lb.-ft. of torque. It has more horsepower and substantially more torque—particularly in the mid-range—than the same-sized engine that powers the TSX sedan. Even though the TLX is larger and heavier than the outgoing TSX 4-cylinder, it posts better EPA fuel-economy ratings of 24 street/35 highway.

A new 3.5-liter direct injected i-VTEC 24-valve V-6 engine replaces the 3.5-liter and 3.7-liter engines in the TL. The new powerplant gains 10 horsepower, 290 peak horsepower, and 13 lb.-ft. or torque of 267 lb.-ft. compared to the 3.5-liter V-6 in the TL sedan.

The front-wheel drive TLX with V-6 has an EPA fueleconomy rating of 21/34 mpg; the TLX all-wheel drive is rated at 21/31 mpg. Compared to the 2014 TL with automatic transmission, the front-wheeldrive TLX V-6 has a 17-percent increase in EPA highway fuel economy ratings, and the TLX AWD has a 19-percent fuel economy-ratings gain.

To make the most of these powerful, refined, efficient new engines, the TLX features two highly advanced new transmissions.

The 2.4-liter TLX models have a standard 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with sequential sport shift and is the first transmission of this type to be paired with a torque converter. The dual clutch transmission with its closely-spaced ratios, ultra-quick shifts and automatic downshift revmatching, gives the 2.4-liter TLX an aggressively sporting feel. The torque converter

provides exceptionally smooth operation in stop-and-go situations, plus it offers off-the-line torque multiplication for improved initial acceleration that the dual-clutch transmission alone cannot equal.

The 3.5-liter TLX models have the new 9-speed automatic transmission sequential sport shift. The transmission is engineered to handle the V-6’s substantial power output. Its closely spaced gear ratios enhance performance and fuel efficiency.

To help improve fuel efficiency, the TLX all-wheel drive models come equipped

tem and its available adaptive cruise control with low speed follow.

The TLX has a one-touch start system. If the driver releases the start button before the engine starts, the system starts the car. By pushing the start button with a foot on the brake pedal and the fob in the vehicle, the TLX is go.

The TLX’s engines need no scheduled maintenance for 100,000+/- miles or more, other than periodic inspections and normal fluid and filter replacements. The first tune-up includes water pump inspection, valve adjustment, instal-

with a new idle stop capability.

When the system is active and certain operating conditions are met, the TLX engine will automatically shut off when the vehicle stops. When the driver releases the brake pedal after a stop, the engine automatically restarts and the TLX is ready to accelerate.

When the vehicle is stopped, a special cold storage evaporator in the air conditioning system helps maintain a comfortable cabin temperature even in warm weather. The TLX’s active engine mounts is fully integrated into the operation of the TLX’s brake hold sys-

lation of new spark plugs and in V-6 models, replacement of the camshaft timing belt.

The Acura TLX with the 3.5 liter six speed engine and nine-speed automatic transmission retails for $44,700. It comes with a power moonroof with tilt feature, 18 x 7.5-inch alloy wheels, idle stop feature, paddle shifters, vehicle stability assist, anti-lock braking system, electronic brakes and brake assist, tire pressure monitoring system, navigation system with voice recognition and multi-view rear camera.

Also, keyless access with smart entry, audio system with 10 speakers, driver 10-way power seat, leather seats, blind spot information, forward collision warning, lane keeping assist system, rain sensing wipers, rear cross traffic monitor, ventilated front seats, collision mitigation braking, front and rear parking sensors, fog lights,, exterior puddle lights, remote engine start, cruise control, auto dimming side mirrors and road departure mitigation system.

The Acura TLX is beautiful inside and out, drives like the charmer it is, has fun torque and power. It’s a most enjoyable four-door sedan that exudes style and pizzazz.

The original TV show was much better. “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.” aired from 1964-1968 and was extremely popular. I was 14 when Robert Vaughn, David McCallum, and Leo G. Carroll introduced the world to Napoleon Solo, IIlya Kuryakin and Alexander Waverly.

I get feisty just hearing the names of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin; two of the coolest fictional names ever. I’m thinking about changing my name to Napoleon Harrison; no wait I meant Larry Solo. Ok, I got it: Larry Kuryakin. You can call me Larry K. With that enthusiastic attitude and a historical background of 50 years, I entered Theatre #1 at The Fountains; yeah, the one with the reclining chairs, and I was ready to take a ride with the UNCLE characters currently played by Henry Cavill (Solo), Armie Hammer (Kuryakin), and Hugh Grant (Waverly). My money was on this movie to be a summer hit, and I was confident that it would surely take me back to my teen years with some fun and frolic.

I got a bad feeling with the opening scene; actually it was the music. It was just off. The opening scenes were truly some of the best of the movie, so my gusto increased and I began believing that Director and Co-writer Guy Ritchie was about to deliver a big pitch. A pitch worth 75 million bucks! Where did all that money go?

Well, most of it apparently went into the visual effects; this movie is beautifully produced and handsomely stylistic. It’s classic Guy Ritchie. Oops, I temporarily forgot that I’m not a big fan of Ritchie.

I liked it when he did something with Madonna (2009), but let’s not forget that Ritchie directed “Sherlock Holmes,” also in 2009, starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, and hottie Rachel McAdams. Ritchie’s take on Holmes was a flop; I’ve watched it more than once in an attempt to support three of my favorite actors. Close, but no banana. Hey, Guy, how do you mess up a movie about Sherlock freaking Holmes?

Holmes reminds me of this movie; decent plot -- secret agents from the US and Soviet Union working together in the early 1960’s to stop nuclear proliferation; great visuals and lofty subject matter, but kooky chemistry. That’s my new term for “bad movie; it’s the director’s fault, and dang it.”

I’m tired and I wanna go home. Rock ‘n Roll.

Avid gardeners among Harvest Green’s first homebuyers

Harvest Green’s “First Family,” Abimola and Courtney Larinde with their son Evan.

Two avid gardeners, both attracted by the on-site farm, community and backyard gardens planned at Harvest Green, have become the first to put down their roots in the one-of-a-kind, Fort Bend master-planned community.

“We love to garden and the idea of a community dedicated to fresh produce from a farm and gardens really appeals to us,” says Courtney Larinde, who along with her husband Abimbola purchased a new home from Newmark Homes.

“The quality and features of Newmark’s model homes really sold us,” adds Abimbola.

“Newmark has been extremely helpful from the moment we purchased our Harvest Green home. Plus, the incentives and upgrades have been great.”

Abimbola said he and his wife were especially impressed with the functional design of Newmark’s kitchens and the spacious storage incorporated throughout the homes. Once deciding on Newmark Homes, the Larindes had plenty to choose from, as the builder offers 17 one- and two-story designs in Harvest Green, priced from the $250,000s.

Harvest Green homebuilders also include D.R. Horton, Darling Homes, David Weekley Homes, Highland Homes, Lennar, MHI Homes, Meritage Homes, Perry Homes, Trendmaker Homes and Westin Homes.

As part of the community’s unique appeal, homebuyers in Harvest Green can also purchase backyard, ready-to-grow vegetable gardens directly from their Harvest Green builder.

Enchanted Gardens of Richmond will install each backyard garden, fill them with dirt and supply participating homeowners with a voucher good for seeds for fresh herbs and vegetables.

With one child and another on the way, Courtney says her raised, ready-to-grow backyard garden along with Harvest Green’s on-site farm will help teach her children the benefits of garden-fresh produce.

“We enjoy fresh food and knowing where it comes from,” she adds, noting the family was drawn to Harvest Green while researching other Fort Bend communities. “There’s nothing else in Houston like this.”

Meanwhile, Realtors expect Harvest Green’s unique lifestyle concept to be very well received.

“Families are big on making healthy choices,” notes Roshanda Reed of ReMax Fine Properties. “I’ve never seen anything like Harvest Green.”

Harvest Green residents also will participate in chef-instructed culinary classes, farm-to-table dinners and various social gatherings as planned by an onsite Lifestyle Director.

The 1,300-acre master-planned community by The Johnson Development Corp. is located at the Grand Parkway and West Airport Boulevard, minutes from the Energy Corridor and Sugar Land. Model homes from Harvest Green’s collection of homebuilders are expected to open in the fall.

Families in Harvest Green will attend schools in the Fort Bend Independent School District, including Travis High School and James Bowie Middle School located within the community. Another site in Harvest Green has been reserved for a new Fort Bend ISD elementary school.

Community news Survey: Feng Shui plays role in Fort Bend home selection

Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene today released findings from a national survey conducted by its national brand and the Asian Real Estate Association of America that reveal the impact of the ancient design philosophy, feng shui, on the home buying mindset and preferences of ChineseAmericans.

While Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions have long fascinated the Western world, this study sheds light on its influence in the U.S., as Chinese-Americans and international Chinese buyers represent an increasingly powerful force, particularly in the Fort Bend housing market where 18.4% of the county’s population is comprised of people of Asian descent.

The majority (76%) of Chinese-Americans surveyed are familiar with the principles of feng shui, which are considered to dictate spatial arrangement and building design to produce a harmonious flow of energy.

Furthermore, over half of those who are familiar follow the practice in their daily lives.

The prevalence of this

Audition for Fort Bend Symphony The Fort Bend Symphony is holding auditions to fill selected openings in the orchestra’s roster of musicians for their 24th season. FBSO performs from October through May in a five-concert series, with a special performance during the Stafford July 4th celebration. The all-volunteer professional orchestra’s members range in age from high school students to retirees.

Musicians needed include: oboe/English horn, trumpet (2), French horn (2), percussion (2), strings (several) especially viola, celli, double bass. Candidates should prepare a three to fiveminute solo and be ready to demonstrate their sight-reading skills.

The piece can be written with or without accompaniment, but there will be no accompanist at the audition.

Auditions will begin at 11a.m. on Aug. 29 in the band room at Stafford High School, 1625 Staffordshire Rd, Stafford. Anyone seeking to audition must email auditions@fbso.org to set up an audition time. Performance dates are Oct. 18, Oct. 30, Dec. 6, Feb. 21, April 2, May 15 and July 4. There are 4 – 6 rehearsals prior to each concert, held on Tuesday evenings from 7:15 – 9:30.

Questions may be emailed to auditions@fbso.org.

Sugar Land Garden Club The Sugar Land Garden Club presents “Shade Gardening”

by Elizabeth Barrow at the Sugar Land Branch Library Conference Room, 550 Eldridge, at 1pm. on Aug. 25. Ms. Barrow will speak about the benefits of shade (all too obvious in July and August) as well as the difficulties gardeners face with our summer heat. She will offer guidance on shade garden design / maintenance, and she will discuss some of the plants best suited for shade gardening around the Sugar Land area.

Elizabeth is an experienced Master Gardener and Texas Certified Nursery Professional as well as former owner of The Papershell Nursery in Pleak, TX. Her website and blog, thepapershell.com combines stunning photography with gardening tips, planting guides and even an occasional recipe.

The program is free and open to the public. For more info: www.sugarlandgardenclub.org.

unique art extends to home buying; 81 percent of those Chinese-Americans surveyed who are also homeowners indicated that feng shui factored into their most recent home purchase. This segment of the population is particular about adhering to feng shui in the home and they’re also discerning about the real estate professionals they work with during the process. More than a third (36%) would avoid an agent if they had no knowledge of feng shui principles.

“In a service-based industry, it is critical for our agents to understand the various cultural preferences that are considered during their paths to purchase,” said Mark Woodroof, partner of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene.

“For this population, feng shui applications are as essential as the square footage or number of bedrooms; so, these are valuable insights that enable our team to better serve our clients in the greater Houston area, especially at a time where we are observing a great uptick in the number of Chinese-American buyers.”

A staggering 86 percent of all respondents stated feng

shui will play a role in a future home buying decision and 79 percent are willing to invest more for a home that incorporates its principles. As such, feng shui often carries a large premium, with respondents willing to pay an average of 16 percent more. On the flip side, for sellers, incorporating feng shui into the foundation of a home may also affect its future on the market, as 90 percent of Chinese-Americans believe implementing its principles increases a home’s resale value.

There are many elements of feng shui that range from design to the location of the home. When undergoing the home buying process, 75 percent of surveyed ChineseAmericans indicated they had at least one deal-breaker that goes against feng shui principles that would prevent them from purchasing a home.

These include: the home being located at the end of a dead end street (31%), the home’s back stairs directly facing the front door (29%), the home having a sloped backyard (29%) and the home’s front and back doors being aligned with each other (24%).

Accordingly, when asked

to rank the feng shui principles most important in a home buying decision, 71 percent of Chinese-Americans indicated the cardinal direction the home is facing in their top three choices, followed by the location of the home on the street and the location of the stairs.

Among other findings, nearly half of Chinese-American respondents (49%) are more likely than their parents to take feng shui into account when deciding on a home, including 69 percent of those who practice feng shui.

That said, 85 percent would bring along a family member other than a significant other when house shopping.

Plus, 87 percent of Chinese-Americans have essential feng shui elements they desire for their kitchen, including it being organized and free of clutter (64%), its colors complementing each other (32%) and the kitchen stove not being directly below the master bedroom (29%).
