Rousing reception to Indian PM sets a record

By SESHADRI KUMAR NEW YORK Presidents and prime ministers come and go, address the United Nations, attend State dinners and speak at chambers of commerce.

But this prime minister is different.

Superb in style and substance, he etched a new record in the history of Madison Square Garden in New York on Sept. 28.

About 18,000 people of Indian origin from all over the U.S. assembled to see and hear India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Nearly three dozen U.S. Senators, Representatives and a Governor watched in awe the “Modi magic” as it modi-

fied the metaphor of Madison Square Garden, a sports and music arena into a political theater.

At the end of his hour-long oratory in Hindi, as the chant of “Modi, Modi” by an ecstatic crowd reverberated, the prime minister emerged as a political “rock star,” to borrow the phrase of Sugar Land Congressman Pete Olson.

Olson recalled the 1964 Beatles’ concert in the same venue and compared Modi to a rock star. He felt the event was like the second wave of the Beatles.

“This man is a real deal. He is a straight-shooter,” Olson said.

“I loved his speech. There are so many opportunities for both of us (India and the U.S.) FORT BEND FAIR. BALANCED. INFORMATIVE.

to thrive,” he said. Defense program, space exploration, energy and human resources are some of the areas, Olson said.

Comparison of his speech to great personalities is inevitable, though some critics may call his speech a hype.

Modi began his speech with “Dear brothers and sisters,” just as the monk Swami Vivekananda told the World Parliament of Religions in 1883.

He set the stage for his address by alluding to the past characterization of India as a country of snake charmers, which has since been transformed by the Indian youth in information technology and the Indian immigrants abroad.

“Our people once played with snake. Now they play with the mouse,” he quipped.

India with 65 percent of its population under the age of 35 has enormous potential and capacity to move fast, he said.

Democracy, demographic dividend and demand for goods are India’s strengths and no other country has all three strengths, he said. By 2020, India would provide workforce for the whole world, he said.

Modi also mimicked Martin Luther King in saying “I have a dream.”

Sugar Land City Council approved a $324.75 million budget on Sept. 16 for fiscal year 2015.

The approved budget totals $167.29 million for City operations, $13.11 million for economic development, and $144.35 million for capital projects.

Councilmen Harish Jajoo and Steve Porter voted against the budget for totally opposite reasons.

Jajoo was not in favor of the 0.07 cent increase in the tax rate

Sugar Land’s Indian American Councilmen Harish Jajoo and Himesh Gandhi were among the select invitees to a dinner reception with India’s Prime Minister in New York.

to finance the voter approved bond projects.

Porter was not in favor of reducing the one cent tax increase proposed for funding the bond projects.

Councilwoman Amy Mitchell was absent.

The operating budget includes funding for a number of City Council’s high-priority projects, including personnel and equipment for implementation of fire-based ambulance transport system, implementation of a public safety compensation study, and expanded code enforcement efforts.

Capital improvement projects include the following: Construction of the ACE Center at Sugar Land-a 6,500 seat performing arts venue funded by the Sugar Land Development Corporation and rent from ACE Sugar Land, LLCwill promote capital investment, create new jobs, enhance edu-

cational opportunities, increase tourism and create unique destination activities attracting local and regional visitors. No general tax dollars will be used to support the venue.

Drainage improvements are emphasized, with significant investment in Sugar Creek and Covington Woods.

Street rehabilitation and reconstruction totals $19.6 million for projects like the widening of Dairy Ashford; the reconstruction of Lakefield, Williams Trace from Lexington to Highway 6 and Austin Parkway from Highway 6 to the First Colony ditch; and reconstruction in the Highlands and Settlers Park.

The first year of funding for the voter-authorized park bond projects represents $13.55 million. This will fund work on the next phase of Brazos River Park, grading and site work on the festival site and the Imperial and First Colony trails.

In conjunction with the community-wide reading initiative, “Gulf Coast Reads: On the Same Page,” Fort Bend County Libraries will present a special presentation by internationally recognized forensic sculptor Amanda Danning.

The program “Sculpting to Remember” will take place on Sunday, Oct. 19, at 2 p.m, in the Meeting Room at George Memorial Library, 1001 Golfview in Richmond. In this presentation, Danning will talk about some of the portraiture sculptures that she has done over the years, providing a behind-the-scenes look at her work on historical remains. Hear about what motivates her to put a face on history using the bones of the past. Among her more recent projects is the forensic reconstruction of the likeness of a 17th-century French nobleman who died in Victoria County in the 1600s at the hands of the Karankawa Indians.

Danning was also commissioned to do the facial reconstruction on the skull of “Sam,” whose 10,000-plus-year-old remains were found in a sediment-filled shelter along the Brazos River in Central Texas.

Forensic sculptor Amanda Danning discusses the results of 400 years of ground pressure on the skeletal remains of Bartholomew Gosnold, captain of The Godspeed, the lead ship bringing settlers to Jamestown, with Dr. Douglas Owsley, Head of Anthropology at the National Museum of Natural History.

NEWS Missouri City City Council split on business park

By BARBARA FULENWIDER For some years now Missouri City council members have almost always voted unanimously in favor when it comes to bringing new businesses to their town in order to shift some of the tax burden from residential to businesses.

Council’s efforts to lighten the load on residential property owners have worked, so it was somewhat of a surprise when two council members voted against bringing a second Trammell Crow business park development to Missouri City at a recent council meeting.

The two members are Chris Preston and Yolanda Ford, a former Missouri City city planner who has lived there for 31 years and has represented District A since 2013. Preston is a business owner who won his atlarge seat this past May. Each were asked why they voted no.

Ford responded at length but Preston did not respond at all.

The vote for approval for approval of the re-zoning at the Sept. 15 council meeting was 5-2. Members were asked to vote on rezoning 119.87 acres of land from industrial to planned development to allow for the building of a business park. At council’s meeting, Ford asked if any commercial businesses would be included in the proposed businesss park and the answer was no.

As to why Ford voted no she said, “As a practicing land development specialist, architectural designer and urban planner, it is my responsibility, professionally and socially, to have a clear understanding and to advocate for high quality development that will positively impact the community by improving the overall quality of life.

“I did not believe the current design, which is a duplication of the industrial development

Lakeview (at the intersection of Buffalo Run and Fondren), would do that for our city at that location.”

She pointed out that in 1981 Missouri City adopted zoning and created a land-use plan.

“Zoning,” she said, “basically delineates how land can be used at a certain location. More importantly it should be used as a tool to assist local govvernment in creating compatible developments that preserve and/or create quality, sustainable communities.”

Even though Missouri City was incorporated before its neighbors, Pearland and Sugar Land, she said the “overall quality of development is higher in those two towns.”

Missouri City leaders “did not construct an innovative, development paradigm for other cities to view and model.

“Trammell Crow’s new proposed development,” she noted, “is located along the main entrance (at the intersection of U.S. 90A and the Beltway) to Missouri City, so as it stands, when you enter and see ‘Welcome to Missouri City’ you will see industrial buildings, 18-wheelers and warehouses.

“Yes, the land at that location was zoned for industrial use many years ago,” Ford said.

“While that vision may have been applicable 30 years ago, it is definitely a strike against our city today as several thouands of commuters from Missouri City, Katy, Sugar Land, Stafford, Richmond, Rosenberg, etc., use Hwy. 90A as their main route to the Houston Medical Center and downtown daily.”

She went on to say that “the city’s current growth and smart planning practices would also dictate that this main entrance and artery through Missouri City should create a visual and retail/commercial destination

Union Pacific updates Eldridge Road detour Union Pacific is advising drivers of the temporary closure of the railroad crossing at Eldridge Road and Highway 90A in Sugar Land. The intersection will close on the morning of October 6, and remain closed until October 20.

To facilitate traffic through this area, detour routes have been announced.

Traffic travelling on Highway 90A will be diverted to Industrial Boulevard or Dairy Ashford Road and then onto Jess Pirtle Boulevard or W Airport Boulevard.

Traffic travelling south on Eldridge Road will be diverted to Jess Pirtle Boulevard or W Airport Boulevard and then onto Industrial Boulevard or Dairy Ashford Road.

These alternate routes should be used to mitigate the increased traffic on 7th Street and Gillingham Lane.

The temporary closure is related to efforts to build a segment of new track from Ulrich Street to Gessner Road in Missouri City.

The new section of track will improve the movement of trains through the area and reduce waiting times for motorists.

As with all construction projects timelines are subject to change.

Drivers are encouraged to check with local media outlets for future updates.

Union Pacific will also be placing message boards to alert drivers to the planned closure of the crossing at Gillingham Lane and Highway 90A from October 20 to November 3.

for commuters and residents.

“My discussion with Trammell Crow, city staff, and my colleagues to designate frontage road as retail/commercial zone in the re-zoning was debated with arguments of area flooding, development complictions, past failed developments, 10-year-old land studies and impractical demographics in the area that did not support a project of that type.

“When I asked for a current feasibility/market study and traffic counts to justify these arguments, they hadn’t been prepared. Now, I’m not sure how my colleagues voted favorably for a project that is asking the city to provide incentives to develop without any of this documentation but I will not ask my community to support this type of project with city resources that are paid for with taxpayer dollars unless I have been provided with sufficient due diligence that clearly supports how it is going to vastly improve my community.”

To summarize, Ford said, that the north part of district A, “where Trammell Crow has proposed this project, is being overloaded with warehouses that will eventually negatively affect the property values of the surrounding homes and overall quality of life in this community since there isn’t a variety of land use in this area.”

She also said, “There are thousands of residents, commuters and employees who live and/or work in District A that must drive into Houston or surrounding cities to shop for any essential necessities or to even have dinner/lunch at a restaurant. To not have the foresight or prudence to encourage and negotiate with developers when they ask the city for incentives to develop is reckless in my opinion.”

After council’s vote, Ford

said some members said “something was better than nothing since the land had been undeveloped for years. We will forgive them and remind them of this when hasty developers eye their backyards.

“Trammell Crow still has the opportunity to listen to the community and come back to the table with a more attractive development that would consider the needs of the community. Although their preliminary designs did not incorporate or show the desire to create a development that would assisst in creating diversity in development or incorporate the needs in District A, the rezoning that was approved allows for retail and commercial development, so the opportunity to develop responsibly is still available if they so choose,” Ford said.

AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOODS National Night Out

By CAROLYN BOWDEN National Night Out is a community-police awareness-raising Event in the United States, held the first Tuesday of August. Texas has the option to use the alternate date of the first Tuesday in October to “try” and avoid hot weather.

This Event has been held annually since 1984 and is meant to increase awareness about police programs in communities, such as drug prevention, town watch, neighborhood watch, and other anti-crime efforts.

These are typically organized by Block Captains, non-for-profit organizations, companies, and police departments. They can be as simple as backyard cookouts to “full-blown” festivals which include live music, food, and entertainment.

THE VACANT LOT NEXT DOOR: “When we bought our home we thought the vacant lot next door would be a neat place to have a garden and a neighborhood park, so we bought it. Over time we planted oak trees, as well as fruit trees, a tomato

Bowden garden and erected a flag pole to honor our Country. We enjoy a lighted gazebo, built to celebrate with our neighbors something cool to drink, such as a refreshing lemonade from our trees while we catch up on current events of that day. We became hosts for our NNO party and have watched the numbers grow each year as more people come to participate. In 2013 there were approximately 100 guests.

This year we hope there will be more. There is sufficient help to set up and clean up afterwards, and enough food to serve everyone. The party

is registered with the Police Department which means, we have had visits from a fire truck with firemen, a patrol car with police officers, all, to the delight of young and old.

The children have a great time running around the open area with their “frizz bees” and “light sticks”. Golf carts are a frequent mode of transportation and pets are welcome.

We now know our neighbors better and make an effort to welcome those who are “new” to our neighborhood. This has become a “year-round” gathering spot. Throughout the year, “evening walkers” often stop by to join us if we are sitting outside in our gazebo.

We are looking forward to the 2014 NNO and seeing old and meeting new friends.” (Column Information Courtesy of Al and Shirley Renfrow) NNO FESTIVAL: This Event is totally sponsored by the “NNO Host”. There are STEAMED “ball-park” hot dogs with options of relish, chopped onions, catsup and chili sauce along with “iced down” soda pop and beer. For dessert there will be a delicious cake.

Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is first in Fort Bend to deploy new atrial fibrillation treatment Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is the first in Fort Bend County to use a next-generation cardiac ablation system to treat a patient with a common heart rhythm condition called atrial fibrillation, or AF. Patients with AF are typically treated with point-bypoint radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat to ablate, or remove, extra tissue that is causing the heart to beat ir-

electrical signals that cause AF, using coolant rather than heat as in traditional radiofrequency ablation. Delivered via a catheter, cryoballoon technology is associated with faster procedure times.

Additionally, 73 percent of Medtronic cryoablation patients are free of AF symptoms after one year, a clinically significant increase in success over drug therapy.

The new cryoballoon system features a larger, more uniform cold surface than its predecessor, which improves physicians’ ability to treat patients with complicated anatomies.

“This technology enables me to better manage my patients’ atrial fibrillation and provide more complete treatment in less time,” Jalal said.

“We are always searching for new technologies that can make a difference for our patients, and Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is at the forefront in adopting these leading-edge therapies.”

Atrial fibrillation is the most common and one of the most undertreated heart rhythm disorders, with more than three million Americans affected. It is estimated that half of all diagnosed atrial fibrillation patients fail drug therapy, and if left untreated, patients have up to a five times higher risk of stroke and an increased chance of developing heart failure.

“AF is a serious condition and one that should never be overlooked,” Jalal said. “Using this cryoballoon system is a major step forward in treating this condition and allowing patients to return to a normal lifestyle without the need for ongoing medication.”

To schedule an appointment with Dr. Jalal or another electrophysiologist in your area, call 281.274.7500. Learn more about Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital at houstonmethodist. org/sugarland.

NEWS Sugar Land American Legion Post hosts Barrel Cooked Barbecue Contest The first annual Battle of the Barrels barbecue cooking contest will be hosted by American Legion Post 942 of Sugar Land at the post’s grounds at 311 Ulrich St. in Sugar Land on Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014.

Teams will be allowed to only use a barrel style barbecue grill for cooking. No fancy barbecue pits will be allowed in this challenging barbecue contest.

“Each team will have to cook both chicken and pork ribs using only the barrel,” said AL Post 942 spokesman Jimmy Zamora.

“We expect to have some really fine cooks show up for this challenging and fun contest, so we will be awarding trophies to first, second, and third place contestants after the judges make their decisions.”

Barbecue teams that wish to enter the contest should telephone the event organizer Jimmy Zamora at (832) 677-7017 to arrange their en-

try into the contest. “We think that turnout for this contest will be so great that we plan to make this an annual event,” he said.

Barbecue teams will start cooking at 9 a.m. The general public is invited to arrive at noon. Judging of the barbecue will take place at 6 p.m. Members, friends and visitors will have the opportunity to sample the barbecue.

AL Post 942, sponsor for the event, is one of the oldest posts in the Fort Bend area, and is named after its founder Raymond Freeman.

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to helping fellow veterans and is the nation’s largest wartime veteran’s service organization.

Modi From Page 1 His dream is that by 2022, the 75th years of India’s Independence nobody should be without a home in India.

Invoking Mahatma Gandhi’s penchant for cleanliness, Modi urged fellow Indians to help clean the River Ganges.

He wants to achieve this big environmental and economic goal by 2019.

Modi also alluded to the fact that Gandhi returned to India from South Africa and fought for its independence. Similarly, Indian emigrants abroad should think of repaying their debt to the motherland, he said.

In an effort to promote tourism, and to ease the problems in obtaining visas to India by foreigners, Modi announced that American citizens will be eligible for visa on arrival at the Indian airports.

The new visa rule will be implemented very soon, he said. Also, the requirement that foreigners staying in India for over six months report to a police station will be removed.

Modi invited investors to come to India and help his program “Make in India” a success.

The days of red tape are over and the red carpet awaits businesses and investors, he said. Modi also emphasized efficient governance and said he believes in “Minimum government and maximum governance.”

The US Senate has unanimously passed a bipartisan resolution designating September 30 as ‘US-India Partnership Day’ recognizing the contribution of the two countries to each another and the relationship that will continue

to help define the 21st century.

The resolution, introduced

by Democratic Senator Mark Warner and Republican John Cornyn was passed unanimously.

At least 100 individuals from the Houston area attended the Madison Square Garden public reception hosted by the Indian American Community Foundation.

Several prominent Indian Americans from Houston, including Councilmen Himesh Gandhi and Harish Jajoo of Sugar Land were invited to a reception hosted by the Indian Ambassador to the U.S. in honor of the visiting prime minister in New York on Sept.

28.

From the Houston area U.S. Reps Al Green and Sheila Jackson-Lee attended the Madison Square Garden event Nikki Haley, governor of South Carolina, an Indian American attended the reception. Gov. Booby Jindal of Louisiana, another Indian American, sent a message of good will.

Indian American Congressman from California Ami Bera and a Hindu-American Congresswoman from Hawai, Tulsi Gabbard also met with Prime Minister Modi.

Isreaeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Modi and discussed possible areas of cooperation between India and Israel.

Gabarad presented a copy of the Bhagavad Gita to Modi.

She used that copy of the Gita to take her oath of office while being sworn in at the House of Representatives.

Olson and Green also attended the dinner reception.

Olson presented a giant-sized Texas hat to the prime minister.

AUTOMOBILE: Cadillac Escalade

By BARBARA FULENWIDER From its introduction in 1999, the Cadillac Escalade became a sought after luxury SUV thanks to its design, capability and luxurious interior.

The 2015 Escalade is in its fourth-generation and has a new exterior design yet is still recognizable. Inside, cut-andsewn materials and wood trim combine to convey luxury.

The product line includes the standard Escalade and the extended-length ESV edition, which offers a 14-inch-longer wheelbase and approximately 20 inches more in overall length, maximizing space for third-row passengers and nearly doubling the cargo

space behind the third-row seat.

Luxury and Premium collections are available in addition to the base models, offering higher levels of content and technology. And all models are offered with 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, as well as a new 6.2L V-8 engine. The engine makes 420 horsepower and 460 lb.-ft. torque and does 0 to 60 in 5.96 seconds for Escalade 4WD and 5.98 seconds for Escalade ESV 2WD. The new 6.2L engine gets an EPA-estimated 20 mpg on the highway (Escalade 2WD/4WD and Escalade ESV 2WD) and 14 in the city.

Your Goals are our Blueprint Chuy’s, the Tex-Mex restaurant that opened its doors in Sugar Land last month at 320 Hwy 6, presented a check for $5,567.19 to Fort Bend Education Foundation on Wednesday, September 24 at the restaurant.

“It’s an honor to partner with such an important part of our community that touches so many children and educators,” said Kamel Basma, General Manager of Chuy’s Sugar Land.

“We’re thrilled to know that every dollar from this donation will go to supporting education in our community.”

The donation was raised during pre-opening events and fundraisers for the new Chuy’s restaurant.

Information about the organization was given to each guest to further educate the community on the importance of Fort Bend Education Foundation’s mission.

“This is a long-term partnership for our restaurant,” said Basma.

“We look forward to supporting Fort Bend Education Foundation through other fundraising and volunteer opportunities for years to come.”

Established in 1992 to benefit the students of Fort Bend ISD, Fort Bend Education Foundation supports local schools and educators with programs including teacher grants, school site programs, new teacher gifts and urgent need grants.

Funds raised from generous local businesses and individuals are channeled with expert precision directly to classrooms, where talented students are teamed with inspired educators, to achieve levels greater than anything they thought possible.

“The Fort Bend Education Foundation is proud to partner with Chuy’s Sugar Land and grateful for their generous support for the teachers, schools, and students in Fort Bend ISD,” said Brenna Cosby, Executive Director of FBEF. Founded in 1982 in Austin, Texas, Chuy’s serves authentic Tex-Mex food in an eclectic atmosphere full of color and personality.

FILM REVIEW: The Maze Runner

wjinterests.com || 281-634-9400

Rice & Gardner Consultants Incorporated Designing, Managing & Building Tomorrow’s Future, Today.

Teenager date night. That’s the reason this movie grossed $32.5 million opening week. Not bad for a simple movie without any big-name stars and a relatively small budget at $34 million. I attended a showing of The Maze Runner on a cool, sleepy Thursday afternoon at The Fountains AMC which has become my go-to theatre recently. The box office sales were down as there were only three lonely men in attendance. Hey, wait a minute, I’m not lonely.

Once again, I had to explain to the young manager (newby) that I was a film critic so I’d get a free ticket. He bought the whole story. If these folks want to believe that I’m legit, then who am I to say otherwise? I’ve got the Houston Film Critic Society convinced also. Ain’t life a kick in the pants.

This movie is based on the novel by James Dashner. The Maze Runner is the first in a trilogy followed by The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure. “The Maze Runner Chapter II: The Scorch Trials” is currently in pre-production and is expected to debut in 2015. Same director; different cast.

I have not read these books and enjoyed the film so obviously that is not a requirement. Any director worth his celluloid salt should never make the reading of a novel a pre-condition to seeing a movie. Director Wes Ball delivers enough information to make the story understandable by an audience on a Thursday afternoon. Most of you will not see this movie until it comes out on DVD and/or the Premium Channels. But you will most likely take a chance by watching this movie on a Saturday night with your significant other.

Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) is deposited into a community of adolescent males who live in a small area of land surrounded by walls and a wooded area. Supplies are delivered via a lift in the ground which also brings a new young man each month.

This routine has gone on for three years. They exist by helping each other, following the rules, and attempting to find a way out of the Glade by running into the maze and back out each day.

“No one has ever survived a night in the maze.” I was scared and on the edge of my seat during much of this movie. It’s an interesting story and Ball allowed the actors to perform without too much constriction and stayed away from science-fiction corniness as much as possible.

The big winner is Dylan O’Brien, 23. He competently starred as the troubled Thomas who was willing to be a maze runner and exhibit some courage. And he’s cute. Wes Ball is the next biggest winner as he demonstrated he can be the successful big dog of a movie full of hype and CGI with a no-name cast. The music and especially the sound effects and editing are outstanding. I’m looking forward to Chapter II. Rock ‘n Roll.
