County clarifies the use of older rainfall data

By SESHADRI KUMAR Fort Bend County has clarified a published report that the county’s drainage district was using outdated rainfall data in determining the 100-year rain event benchmark.

The county is using the data prepared in the 1960s, though latest data available was compiled in 2004. But, the county is doing so for a good reason.

In a recent memo to County Commissioners Drainage District Director Mark Vogler responded to an article that recently appeared in the Houston Chronicle saying that the County was still using 1961 precipitation data in its drainage operations.

Seeking the opinion of a third party, independent expert, an investigation was conducted to determine whether the rainfall data contained in the Drainage Criteria Manual is representative of updated information.

The expert wrote, “a review of the latest update of the FBCDD criteria manual confirms that the rainfall depth duration frequency information provided in the manual is derived from a National Weather Service Technical Paper (TP-40) prepared in the 1960s.”

However, the consultant said, “It was further confirmed that the reason why FBCDD did not revise its rainfall depth duration frequency with the more up to date 2004 rainfall data available from the USGS was that the updated and more recent data showed LOWER amounts of rainfall for virtually every duration and frequency than what had been developed in the 1960’s.”

In other words, the latest data would understate the 100-yearevent criteria and hence, the county was still using the more stringent 1960 data.

Vogler said “the National

Weather Service is working on a project NOAA Atlas 14, which is updating rainfall rate standards for the entire country. This report is expected to supersede the TP 40 we presently use. The Atlas 14 has been completed for a number of states, but the results for Texas are still in the works. When the report is released for Texas, we will review the information and make appropriate decisions at that time.”

Meanwhile County Judge Bob Hebert has said, Commissioners Court will engage in an exhaustive, top to bottom analysis of the entire drainage system as a whole. This comprehensive watershed study will be coordinated and conducted between the County Engineering Dept. and the US Army Corps of Engineers. The Judge has further charged the engineers in his request to Congress to develop a consensus set of findings and recommendations.

Missouri City comes together as “One” for Community Night Out Festivities

The soulful sounds of “we are one…..no matter what we do, we are one…..love will see us through…..we are one,” wafted across the City Hall Complex as City Manager Anthony J. Snipes sang with Community Night Out guests, symbolizing the unity of citizens, stakeholders, sponsors and partners that made the festival successful.

Hundreds attended the second annual event that was hosted on Saturday, Oct. 7, and Sunday, Oct. 8 to celebrate the community in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and to give residents a venue to enjoy live entertainment, a health fair, a cultural celebration and other recreational activities in their own backyard.

“We dedicated this year’s two-day festival to our citizens not only to recognize their incredible efforts in rebuilding our community but also to provide them a chance to further strengthen their community pride,” Snipes said.

“Through their commitment to making this one of America’s best places to live, work and play, ‘Show Me City’ residents grow closer every day, and City Council and staff were proud to offer this event as a celebration of them. Community Night Out highlights the expanses we’ve made in the City Hall Complex as we market its capacity for entertainment such as this.”

Saturday’s lineup featured Step Rideau & the Zydeco Outlaws, country artist Coffey Anderson, jazz saxophonist Kim Waters, who was joined on stage by fellow musician Kyle Turner, and artist Ange Hillz of Visual Paint.

Step opened the day’s music performances on the Community Center’s newly constructed outdoor stage, and Mayor Allen Owen officially became a Zydeco Outlaw as he joined the band by playing on the washboard.

Also on-site throughout the day were radio partners KTSU 90.9 FM and Majic 102.1 FM. “It was great to have both KTSU and Majic playing family-friendly music at the festival,” Snipes said.

“A special thank you goes to Robert ‘Bassman’ Washington and Kandi Eastman of Majic for helping to emcee and a spe-

cial thank you goes to KTSU for helping us get the word out about this event through live radio interviews. We had a lot of partners step up during this major event, and we could not have done it without their continued support.”

Highlights on Saturday also included a trackless train and the laser light show that projected onto the Community Center edifice with an accompanying soundtrack. The laser show was a preview of future interactive shows soon to be premiered for the public at the center.

What’s in a name?

I am writing in response to the front page article of your paper dated September 13, 2017, regarding the Confederate Street in Missouri City.

To hear or read today’s headlines about “names” that are offensive is escalating out of control. A lot of the names in “my” neighborhood are names from the history of this country.

Were the names offensive then? We won’t know because we didn’t live in that era. The only way any one believes that they are offensive is because someone has read it or was said that it’s offensive.

As a homeowner on Confederate South Dr., I don’t need anyone telling me or trying to coerce me into changing the name of my street because it offends someone.

I live here and I am a proud American. I am not offended, this was history, which is “past “ events that we cannot change no matter what we do to try and alter the past.

US Rep. Al Green introduced someone that “lived” on Confederate Ct. He moved here for a reason and it wasn’t because of the existing name. He probably moved here because the neighborhood was decent and quiet. That was the reason I moved here and I continue to live here.

A name on a street does not make the neighborhood, it’s the people that own the homes here and continue to strive in harmony. My street is a very diverse area, we all watch each other’s back as any neighborhood should. We know who comes and who goes. Who should be here and who shouldn’t.

The name of the street does not distinguish the life style that we have come to appreciate and love.

So when “outsiders” try to come here and tell us that our street name is offensive, go somewhere else and play that game.

I live here and I will continue to live here, this is still America where we are free to live where we choose.

I chose here not because of the name of the street but because of the neighbors that know what it takes to live in harmony.

To change the name of “our” street will be a legal and paperwork enhanced nightmare that we will have to endure.

We live here not Rep Al Green, go tread on someone else. We are happy and content, we don’t need anyone to tell us the name is offensive, he doesn’t live here and he used someone that “lived” here. Leave us alone and go make your headlines somewhere else!

NEWS Two council members criticized for Public hearing on Sugar Land’s voting against industrial development Land Use Plan set for Oct. 26

By BARBARA FULENWIDER “It bothers me when we have development failure that results in a loss of $500,000 to the city caused by at least two council members we have sitting up here,” Missouri City Councilman Wyatt said at a recent city council meeting.

He was talking about Yolanda Ford, who was not at the Oct. 2 meeting, and Chris Preston, who was there.

Both voted no on more industry in the parks.

“The way we get most of our money is directly from our citizens,” Wyatt said. “Another way is through annexations of land that we hope to develop to bring in more revenue to the city.

“The other way,” Wyatt said the city gets money to pay for city services is through economic development.

Then he asked that a slide be shown regarding “want it costs this city to support the 2018 budget. It is $0.83513 cents based on residential home values only.

“We’re asking for 60 cents.

With the businesses, that would get us to that.”

Wyatt’s slide also showed that the 60 cent per $100 valuation tax will support the 2018 budget with residential, commercial and industrial values included.

Based on the increased tax rate of $0.60, taxes from industry will account for 29.824573 percent of the city’s adopted 2018 budget.

“This really bothers me -- like Councilman Preston who pays no (property) taxes” because he owns no property. “It really bothers me,” Wyatt said, “when he votes against a mechanism that brings in tax dollars to this city. Even though it passed at our last meeting we had people voting against it since it was industrial.

“I’m fortunate,” Wyatt said,

“that I have four other guys who seem to think in a similar way when it comes to sharing the tax burden with the citizens of this city. We all pay taxes too, except one of us. Every year we have to go back to the citizens and tell them their taxes won’t go up and that’s the biggest lie we tell because if your value goes up, your taxes go up.”

Wyatt continued, “We have essentially three business parks in this city and they will all be working well. Why located all here in this spot was asked at the last council meeting. It’s because council members in 1975 made a determination to develop land use based on the infrastructure necessary for industrial development. It was near the railroad tracks and U.S. 59 – no different than what they did in Sugar Land.

“To me it was good judgement by that council at that time.

The people who live in Colony Crossing (and protested more industrial at the Oct. 2 meeting) were not there in 1975. The zoning was changed in 1991.

When we are trying to do everything we can in order to manage the tax amount in order to support the needs of our citizens, I think it’s important that we all have an understanding of where the money really comes from,” he concluded.

With that said, Mayor Allen Owen called on other councilmen who wanted to speak prior to taking a vote on the city’s new tax rate of four cents higher.

Preston spoke next and said he believes council’s top priorities should be how to enhance the service provided to the community. One thing he said the community all agrees on “is we are transparent” and fiscally responsible.

“I want to make sure we enhance community feedback

and engage them because we serve this community.” Preston concluded by saying he wants transparency on the part of city council and city employees and “solid feedback” from residents.

When Preston finished, Wyatt said, “That’s a bunch of crap.

We have always been clear and transparent. I’m paying. You don’t pay anything. It costs every last one (property owners) of them far more money. I’m paying too. What you just said is just a bunch of crap.”

Then the mayor spoke and said he thinks the “citizens, if they vote for a tax increase, want to make sure to see where the money is going. Where we lose faith is when we raise taxes and don’t do what we’ve said we will do with it.”

He said since he’s been mayor, council has had to raise taxes three times and each time the city has spent the money on what it said it would buy.

And, Owen also said “something has to be in it for everyone – fire, police, streets, infrastructure, etc.

“If you tell people what you are going to do with the money and do it, they are okay with it.

We make sure the money we are asking for will be spent for their benefit,” the mayor concluded.

Then council voted unanimously to adopt the new tax rate of 60 cents per $100 valuation and provide maintenance and operations with $0.44023 and the debt service fund with $015977.

The proposed rate is estimated to result in $25.48 million in property tax revenues to the general fund and be appropriated to fund infrastructure improvements, city drainage and maintenance, public safety, city hall renovations and integration of technology and best practices.

“This was a coordinated effort not just by staff but by a multitude of area partners.

Houston Community College was gracious enough to open their doors for our elected officials, area stakeholders and

other VIPs for a special two-day reception on their new Missouri City campus. We are grateful to them for letting us have the opportunity to showcase the new facility to our guests, which also included board members of the National Forum for Black Public Administrators and other city managers from across the country,” Snipes said. “Seeing this event grow in just one year from a one-day, evening event into a large-scale weekend festival brings me great joy and pride.

This event’s success and growth is a testament to our residents’ dedication to community unity and their support for the City.”

The hearing will be held in the Commissioners Courtroom at 401 Jackson Street, Second Floor, Richmond, Texas.

You are invited to attend and state your approval or objection on this matter.

The Land Use Plan, also known as Chapter 6 of the city’s Comprehensive Plan: outlines policy direction and guidance for land-use decisions; establishes a vision for land use; and identifies an action plan of projects to accomplish the landuse vision and goals.

WHEN MY DADDY WENT TO WAR...

WW II â&#x20AC;&#x201C; June 1944 Part Two

Written by Carolyn Bowden (June 20, 1944) â&#x20AC;&#x153;About 10 years ago one Sunday afternoon you entered my life and gave me one of your very best smiles and said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am Kay Barberâ&#x20AC;? and since then I have never tired of hearing your voice.

Yes, the Pope will be okay.

Have never seen Americans mistreat anyone. Yesterday I had lunch with some oďŹ&#x192;cers who were in charge of a lot of German prisoners and I made arrangements to visit them in the near future and look over their installations. They told me lots of interesting things.â&#x20AC;?

(June 22, 1944) â&#x20AC;&#x153;One year ago today (June 22, 1943) I was ďŹ&#x201A;ying over the Atlas Mountains in North Africa 10,000 feet up and writing to my little honey. Little did I dream that one year later I would be seated at my desk in ....Italy with the most responsible job I have ever had in my life and also the biggest job I have ever had as the head. Directing the work of nearly .... men is a charge that any one should be proud of.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153; Wish you would ask your mother to please buy you another little puppy for me and tell her that your daddy would more than repay her if she will

Bowden please be so kind as to consider getting another puppy for Daddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice little girl and boy.â&#x20AC;?

(Sounds like our current puppy was killed. This happened a lot to us. They would get run over because we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep them inside a fenced area. In fact there were no fences because we lived out in the country, outside Jackson, Mississippi.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I must tell you about my operation! I just had the wart on my ďŹ nger cut out. I was in the chair for ten minutes. I bet you would respond: â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is nothing. I had a baby in 15 minutes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anyway I am very pleased not to be bothered any more

with it. What do you think of the War news? Seems as if lots of people are going to get hurt if they keep this tempo up. Must be terrible on the civilians involved as they are not trained and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to protect themselves.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inform the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;man of the houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; that it is rather diďŹ&#x192;cult to ďŹ nd suitable gifts for men and as a result I will send him one under separate cover. The green gift is for Carolyn. I am thinking you should carry hers to the appropriate shop to be reworked. Have more little things to send but it takes lots of energy to wrap them. I am still doing just ďŹ ne on my job and trying to get used to being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;somebody.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Kinda unusual for a milk man to be so important. Really, there are mountains of work to do and I am really enjoying it to the Nth degree. Did Carolyn ever receive her doll? It is now June 26, 1944.â&#x20AC;?

(This time it was shipped from the States so the soldiers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to ďŹ nd a way to get it wrapped and mailed.

That was my favorite doll of all. It was a pretty baby doll, I think the real reason I loved it so much was because my Daddy bought it for me.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very anxious to re-

ceive a letter of information about your new private and personal home. Hope you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have too much trouble making your selection. May I caution you to be sure to consider everything in making your selection? I am thinking you are wise to buy now as everybody will be buying after the War. I think you are wonderful to have a home for such a rather insigniďŹ cant person when he comes home.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Kay Barber, I surely do like that name and I like the cute little owner better.

In fact I believe I will try to get you to name our little tiny freckle nose girl, Kay Barber when she puts in her appearance and says: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Well, Mama, here I am! What do you think of me? Do you think I am worth all the sales talking my father did for me? Now donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you think you are going to make it just ďŹ ne since my daddy promised you that he would help ever so much?â&#x20AC;?

Poor little Mama, seems as if she is going to have to make a baby yet. I planned to have today oďŹ&#x20AC; but my second in command is oďŹ&#x20AC; by roster so I will take oďŹ&#x20AC; another day.

Surely will be glad when I get home.â&#x20AC;?

MIKEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S MONOLOGUE

There were three...

By MICHAEL GRANTO There were three of them.

Three ten-year old boys in a small town, kind of a backwater town, subsisting mainly on the steel mills that employed its men. They spent their time as was customary in those days and times, riding their bikes, replaying WW2 (nobody wanted to be the Nazis), spending time at a creek or at the lake, all pretty much unsupervised, for hours at a time.

Time didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much meaning for them, except that they knew theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d better be home by suppertime, but apart from that, their time was pretty much their own to do as they saw ďŹ t.

There was Nate, the shortest and skinniest of them, whose dad would take him away from the groups next year to send him to a prep school. He was the fastest of the three.

There was Jack, whose dad was an accomplished hunter, and who brought Jack along on some of his outings. Jack was a boxer, and while not as fast as Nate, was still pretty fast.

There was Matt, who was taller by a shade than the others, but deďŹ nitely the slowest. He and Jack boxed frequently, and he lost more than he won. His hands were just not as quick as Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, but in terms of schoolwork, at any rate, he was the sharpest of the three.

One of the places they played was Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smokehouse.

Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family ran a butcher shop. The smokehouse was, to their ten-year old eyes, a vast place, and the smell was attractive, because it was like concentrated ham or bacon.

Sometimes it made their mouths water.

There were workbenches scattered about, and various pieces of equipment of unstated and arcane purposes on most of them. On one of their jaunts, they discovered some old ten gauge shotgun shells.

Now, anything pertaining to guns or ammunition had an irresistible charm for these ten-year old boys.

After handling the shells for a while, and feeling their heft, one of them, and time and memory do not record who it was, suggested they dismantle the shells, since Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather no longer had the ten gauge shotgun.

Jack looked around, and found a small leather bag, with a sort of patchwork pattern,

Granto and it was into this bag that the shot from the shotshells was deposited. They ďŹ gured theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ďŹ nd some use for it later.

After prying out the wadding, they saw the powder. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all black, as they might have expected; there were many light orange colored ďŹ&#x201A;akes as well.

They cast about for some appropriate receptacle for the powder, and came up with an old WW2 â&#x20AC;&#x153;pineappleâ&#x20AC;? hand grenade body.

Just the body, no explosive, no detonator. Well, they thought, what better place for the shotgun powder.

This is the point where the more politically correct of you will want to tune out, and read your bible. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say you were not warned.

Once they had all the powder from all the shells poured into the grenade, and there may have been three or four shells, they decided to head across the street to the lot where the city stored the sand it spread on the roads in the winter time. Sometimes, they had fun trying to climb those monstrous piles of sand, and ended up wearing themselves out, and laughing themselves silly.

This time, though, they had other plans. Naturally, they debated about what to do with the gunpowder in the grenade. Nate didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel comfortable with that part of the discussion, so he stepped oďŹ&#x20AC; a few yards, and started throwing stones into the lake.

Jack and Matt were squatted down, the grenade on the ground between them, wondering what would happen if they dropped a match down into the grenade. Jack though it might explode, Matt thought otherwise, in the manner of ten-year old boys who are pretty smart in school.

His words were, â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Jack, technically, it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explode, because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hole in the top to let out the burning powder.â&#x20AC;?

Then he dropped the match.

After the boom, which surprised all three of them, Jack ended up ďŹ&#x201A;at on his back, because a chunk of something

had hit his shoe heel, and knocked his feet out from under him.

Nate said he threw one stone into the lake, but saw two splashes.

Matt looked at this hands, and saw dozens of spots where unburned powder and small bits if shrapnel had embedded themselves.

The hand of God had protected all three of them from further injury.

Jack said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to get that cleaned up, or you could get lockjaw.â&#x20AC;? Lockjaw was a very big thing at the time among ten-year old boys, for some reason.

They went up to Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, and poured Listerine mouthwash over Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands, and used a safety pin to remove some of the small pieces of grenade and gunpowder.

Matt knew heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to come up with something at the supper table, so when his parents asked how come his hands were so red, he said that Jack had gotten a new pair of boxing gloves, which were maroon, (they were all maroon in those days) and the dye from the new gloves had stained his hands. He really hated lying like that, but he knew he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell them what actually happened.

A couple of years later, Nate was visiting at Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house, and being fed by Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mom, as every visitor was, when Nate blurted out a reference to the grenade.

Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mom asked a few questions about it, such as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;How close were you to the grenade? Where, exactly, was this grenade?â&#x20AC;?

It turns out Matt had to explain that he and Jack were squatted down near the grenade. If you picture this, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see that both boys had the family jewels of their respective clans within two feet of an exploding grenade.

Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, with eyebrows raised to the ceiling, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you realize you could have been KILLED? Or WORSE?â&#x20AC;?

Stafford’s bid for Amazon goes in vain

By BARBARA FULENWIDER Mayor Leonard Scarcella recently came up with an idea.

Why not propose that Amazon build HQ2 on the former Texas Instrument (TI) property now owned by StreetLevel developers?

The mayor said, “I’m reading one morning and an article says Amazon is looking to build a second major facility. I immediately called Patti Worfe,” executive director of economic development for Stafford, “and texted her.

“A 150 acres would be great plus that property was high and dry during Harvey. Numerous facilities in Houston flooded.

We had none of that. Considering the few houses that got some water in them, we came out looking better than anybody else. I would think that would be a consideration. We realize it’s a long shot.”

Scarcella said he told Worfe, “This is what I want. Bring this Amazon facility and with it all those thousands of jobs.

Call up StreetLevel and tell them this is what I want, and that’s how the whole thing started.”

Worfe then took a report on it to the Fort Bend Economic Development Council and one of the board members, according to Scarcella, said “I wouldn’t have given you two cents on your chances of succeeding.”

Worfe said Amazon got

some 25 to 30 applicants from the Houston area and said Amazon “has some very specific questions” applicants had to answer in the application process. Those questions, which she answered 100 percent in the affirmative, asked if there was at least a 500,000 plus square foot building on the property and was it expandable or has options for development close by.

They also wanted to know if there were 100 acres of greenfield on site, if the property was certified pad read or shovel ready and if utilities were in place. Amazon also wanted to know if the acreage is within 30 miles of Houston, 45 minutes from the international airport, close proximity to a major highway and if there is access to mass transit at the site.

In her letter to the Amazon HQ2 team, Worfe said Stafford is “whole heartedly and enthusiastically committed to co-develop with Amazon an innovative, creative and reimagined rebirth of the former TI semi-conductor chip manufacturing campus” where over the past 45 years of “innovation at the site, TI introduced some of the most significant microchip advances produced by the company. How fitting it is that this historic site and its legacy of innovation is being considered for HQ2 by one of the most innovative compa-

nies the world has ever seen.”

Worfe coordinated the Amazon packet with Fort Bend County’s EDC. The cover letter that went with the packet spoke to the site and its various buildings, logistics and labor proximity , moving quickly through approvals to full activation and noting the site benefits and location in Stafford and Fort Bend Count When all was said and done, Worfe said, “We did not make the cut. We heard that from the Greater Houston Partnership and are waiting on that letter because we’d like to make sure who did make the cut in the Houston area.”

“These are always good experience,” Worfe said about applying for such an enormous pie. “It helps us look at what they are looking for and what we have to offer. We also knew it was a pretty good longshot.

We were disappointed but it’s great experience. It looks good for the city and shows that we aren’t afraid to stick our neck out.”

An article recently published by Texas Monthly said “it’s widely believed” that the two cities in Texas with the best shot at landing Amazon HQ2 are Austin and Dallas.

The headline on the story was “Every city in Texas wants Amazon headquarters. They should think twice.”

The writer went on to say that Amazon not only wants

what was sited earlier by Worfe but also strong cell phone service, close proximity to good universities and fiber optic internet connections.

If Austin and Dallas are truly in the running for HQ2 they are up against some heavyweights: New York, Boston, Chicago and Toronto, according to the Texas Monthly article. Even though Amazon has said HQ2 will need 50,000 employees, the quality of the jobs is questionable.

The writer of the Texas Monthly article points out the “company’s poor treatment of employees” and how having its headquarters in Seattle, WA, has gentrified “many of the city’s most unique neighborhoods beyond recognition.” The article also says traffic congestion and house prices have increased dramatically.

Adding to the downside of landing HQ2, the Texas Monthly article said “be prepared to fork over massive tax breaks. Amazon has received more than $1 billion in public subsidies for its facilities since 2000, including a $7 million subsidy for a Houston warehouse last year.”

So with Danny Westneat, a Seattle Times columnist, writing that “Amazon is about to detonate a prosperity bomb in your town,” perhaps Stafford and Fort Bend County lucked out by not making the cut.

The alphabet on parade. Colony Meadows Elementary kindergarten students celebrated the alphabet with a parade and party on Friday, Oct. 13. Each student selected a letter of the alphabet and dressed in a costume to represent that letter.

From “L”ions, “T”igers, “B”ears, and more, the students really got creative! The parade began with the students singing the “ABC” song, then they even sang it backwards! After the parade, students enjoyed an alphabet snack with their parents in the classroom. At CME, it is fun to celebrate ABC! — Bridge Mueller
