See related article on page 3 Literacy’s “Book and Author” Set for Feb. 13 See our Valentine’s Special page on page 15 By Elsa Maxey Texas faces a multi-million dollar revenue budget shortfall-- about $27 billion. Based on pre- liminary numbers, there will be $9 billion less for public edu- cation. “I am very concerned about that,” said State Rep. John Zerwas. “The state’s number one priority is the education of our children,” and the legislature will give it a lot of thought before a final budget is passed after a lot of deliberation, he said. "The proposed budget fails Texans, specifically our most vulnerable community…our children,” said State Rep. Ron Reynolds, who maintains that a draft state budget proposing a 23% cut to public education could end up impacting teacher lay offs. State Rep. Charlie Howard is also in accord about public education being one of the most important functions the state helps fund add- ing that “it is imperative that we do it efficiently and are mindful of the current deficit our state faces.” In his inaugural address last month, Governor Rick Perry said that legislators should balance the state budget without raising taxes and without using the state’s reserve fund, which has about $9 billion in it. "I think the legislature should dip into the rainy day fund. It was saved for over a period of years for the kind of situation we find ourselves in today, especially the cuts,” said Rep. Zerwas. “Not all of it for use to offset strictly the education budget,” he said, “but across the board to help soften the blow.” “With a proposed budget that eliminates Pre-K, depriving near- ly 200,000 Texas children of an early childhood education--I'm no meteorologist…but, if this is not a rainy day, I don't know what is,” says State Rep. Reynolds. “Before we use any of the rainy day fund we should exhaust all other avenues including delay- ing the new testing standards, and eliminating some of the current mandates required of the school system,” said Rep. Howard. Also in favor of its use to finance public education, he said, “I do believe that a small portion of the rainy day fund could be appropri- ated to shore up some of public education's financing issues.” FBISD stands to lose an esti- mated $74 million and it has begun its own budget process with a big unknown about the state allocation for the upcoming school year. According to FBISD Financial Officer Tracy Hoke at a recent board budget work- shop, the $74 million cut will return FBISD to 2005-06 spend- ing levels. The district reportedly could lose the state’s technology, instructional facilities and new building allotments. The school district will have to make difficult decisions, said Rep. Zerwas, “in terms of how they budget and their own cash reserves. All three state represen- tatives are on the same page about the legislature “taking the reins off various unfunded mandates See FUND, page 7 Is it raining now? Zerwas & Reynolds support rainy day fund use for public education, Howard – a little By LeaAnne Klentzman A former deputy fired by Sheriff Milton Wright has filed a federal lawsuit citing wrongful termination. William “Bill” Butera was a patrol officer for the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s office for many years. During his tenure with the Sheriff's Office he also served as the President of the Deputy Sheriff’s Association. While pres- ident of the association, Butera was instrumental in assisting with the needs of injured officer's fam- ilies; specifically the family of Deputy Charlie Scott who was shot in a rolling gun battle after a bank robbery on the outskirts of Sugar Land. During that cri- sis, Butera was hailed as a hero for providing lodging and food for the Scott family as they sat vigil at the hospital while Scott endured one surgery after another. Then just months later, with no explanation or question of indis- cretion, Butera was reportedly called to Sheriff Wright's office and terminated. According to the pleadings in the federal lawsuit, Sheriff Wright told Butera his services were not longer needed. When Butera when asked for an explanation, Sheriff Wright told him to have a nice day. In the court documents, Butera alleges that his termination was in retaliation to his testimony before the Texas Legislature in 2009. Butera spoke as a guest of District 27 State Representative Dora Olivo. Filings indicated that Representative Olivo introduced HB 1184; a Bill that would allow a county with a population of over 500,000 to create a Civil Service System for a Sheriff’s Office. Butera said that he was in Austin testifying before the Committee on County Affairs as the behest of Ms. Olivo and as president of the Fort Bend County Deputy Sheriff’s Association. Interestingly, at that same session, a representative from the Human Resources Department of Fort Bend County was also present, testifying against the HB 1184 and Butera‘s position. Even if the Bill had passed, before any ver- sion of Civil Service could take effect, the measure would have to go before the voters of that particular county. The pleadings state that in 2009 when Butera returned from a legislative trip to Austin he was warned to stay away from Sherifff Milton Wright as he was angry with Butera’s testimony before the committee. Upon his return, Butera resumed to his regular See FIRED, page 7 Fired Fort Bend deputy files federal lawsuit Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix – “snow” way Where were you when the power went off? By LeaAnne Klentzman The Sugar Land police are looking for burglars that are tar- geting homes during the hours that football games hold the atten- tion of many residents. According to police, many residential burglaries are occur- ring between the hours of 4 pm. and 8 pm. on the weekends. The crooks are purportedly working in random neighborhoods on ran- dom weekends; yet routinely dur- ing ball game hours. Entry into the homes is reportedly made by kicking the back door. During the burglary, the home is ransacked. Electronics and personal valu- ables are reported to have been taken. A dark colored minivan is believed to be the suspect vehicle. Anyone with information about any crime of this nature is asked to contact the Sugar Land police department at 281-275- 2500. Police target residential burglars By Elsa Maxey Last week, the U.S. Postal Service said it has set a nation- wide goal of closing 2,000 sta- tions and branches this year. That’s in addition to the 491 clo- sures currently taking place. So far, none of the almost 500 post offices whose closures through- out the U.S. are underway are located in Fort Bend County. Any closures eminent in Fort Bend County? “There is not a list and we don’t know which offices are being looked at,” said Dionne Montague, a U.S. Postal Service spokesperson in Houston serv- ing a district that also covers the Beaumont/Bryan/College Station area. The shutdown of post offic- es and branches is an attempt to ward off fiscal woes. As for impacting costs across the board, scaling back to five-day mail is still on the table, said Montague. “All of the strategies that need congressional permission have been presented by the Postmaster General,” she said, and this includes strategies and initiatives with the scaled downed delivery days as an option, which was believed to have been scratched. Mail volume, reported to be the main source of income for the Postal Service, markedly declined. The postal service com- petes with the Internet as a means of communication, and business- es have also scaled down sending out advertisements. It is important to note that the Postal Service’s plans to close the 2,000 facilities will not be allowed under current law, if those closures are solely for eco- nomic reasons. Montague said the Postmaster General has shared this information with congressio- nal leaders because “a post office See CLOSURES, page 7 List of 2,000 closures coming Are our post offices closing?

For those of you fortunate not to have expe- rienced them, they were electric- ity outages that took place during regular intervals, from about 15 to 45 minutes, and were related to the inclement weather. Sources indicate that they did not take place because they were planned emergency outages. Feedback from the public experiencing the electricity dis- ruption was that it was under the impression that ERCOT began rotating outages to merely reduce power loads as it prepared for the extreme cold weather conditions, which at that time were thought to bring one to three inches of snow that did not occur in this area. Released background informa- tion from the Texas Division of Emergency Management said that rotating outages are controlled, temporary interruptions of electri- cal service initiated by each utility when supplies of reserve power are exhausted. Without this safety valve, generators would overload and begin shutting down to avoid damage, risking a domino effect of a region-wide outage, it said. However, what turned out to be the case was that the outages from the loss of power generation was due to inadequate winterization, therefore, they were attempting to See BLACKOUTS, page 9

Missouri City served up anoth-er match point recently in its plans to build the future Tennis and Recreation Center On Jan 27 Parks amp Recreation Director Larry Foos traveled to Austin to formally accept a $950000 grant for the project from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission State lawmakers approved the funding during their 2009 legis-lative session and Missouri City will match the grant
The state funding comes from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program which was authorized in 1993 to assist subdi-visions in providing basic public recreation facilities TRPA rev-enue is generated from a portion of the state sales tax on sporting goods
ldquoThis is great news for the citizens of Missouri Cityrdquo said
Mayor Allen Owen ldquoThe Tennis and Recreation Center will be a state-of-the-art recreational facil-ity that all residents can enjoy for years to comerdquo
Plans for the future Missouri City Tennis and Recreation Center on Cypress Point Drive have been a key City Council initiative and in 2010 members authorized staff to initiate steps for the sale of $95 million in general obligation bonds to fund improvements for this project as well as the planned Community Center and Golf Pro Shop
Using feedback from commu-nity input meetings the City has contracted with the architectural firm of PBSampJ Inc to complete a design of the center that will fea-ture tennis and basketball courts community meeting rooms two gyms aerobic exercise rooms and
senior programs Construction for the structure is targeted to begin in summer 2011
State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Charlie Howard were instrumental in helping Missouri City secure the parks fundingmdashone of only two coveted special municipal parks grants awarded by the 81st Texas Legislature Both lawmakers were recognized by City Council in 2010 for their efforts which will benefit all City residents
For updates on the project please watch the City Council ldquoAgenda amp Minutesrdquo on wwwmissouricitytxgov tune into Missouri City Television (Channel 16 on Comcast and Channel 99 on ATampT U-verse) and listen to the Cityrsquos radio sta-tionmdash1690 AM From the United States

BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

Medications for Treating BronchitisBronchitis is an infection and inflammatory condition of the airways A
normally functioning respiratory tract provides defense against infecnottion However if these defenses are impaired an infection of the lower respiratory tract could occur Respiratory viruses typically cause bronnotchitis however the condition could also be caused by bacteria Bronchinottis may be classified as acute or chronic Although both types may occur at any age chronic bron-chitis occurs more commonly in adults Cough that lasts a week or longer is a common symptom of acute bronchitis A fever may also occur
Typically acute bronchitis will resolve without treatment However treatments are available to help alleviate symptoms Persons with bronnotchitis should drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration Medications for fever include acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil Motrin) Dextro-methorphan (Delsym) is a cough suppressant that is available overnotthe-counter and may be used to treat a mild persistent cough For a cough that is more severe codeine may be prescribed Although the majority of persons with bronchitis do not need an antibiotic older indinotviduals or those with a reduced functioning immune system may be prenotscribed an antibiotic such as azithromycin (Zithromax) or levofloxacin (Levaquin)

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

Vehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have en-gines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides andor piston rings Gen-erally speaking an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair Normally engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1500 miles Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the prob-lem and thus avoid the engine work needed However it should be point-ed out that eventually oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether

Missouri City served up anoth-er match point recently in its plans to build the future Tennis and Recreation Center On Jan 27 Parks amp Recreation Director Larry Foos traveled to Austin to formally accept a $950000 grant for the project from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission State lawmakers approved the funding during their 2009 legis-lative session and Missouri City will match the grant
The state funding comes from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program which was authorized in 1993 to assist subdi-visions in providing basic public recreation facilities TRPA rev-enue is generated from a portion of the state sales tax on sporting goods
ldquoThis is great news for the citizens of Missouri Cityrdquo said
Mayor Allen Owen ldquoThe Tennis and Recreation Center will be a state-of-the-art recreational facil-ity that all residents can enjoy for years to comerdquo
Plans for the future Missouri City Tennis and Recreation Center on Cypress Point Drive have been a key City Council initiative and in 2010 members authorized staff to initiate steps for the sale of $95 million in general obligation bonds to fund improvements for this project as well as the planned Community Center and Golf Pro Shop
Using feedback from commu-nity input meetings the City has contracted with the architectural firm of PBSampJ Inc to complete a design of the center that will fea-ture tennis and basketball courts community meeting rooms two gyms aerobic exercise rooms and
senior programs Construction for the structure is targeted to begin in summer 2011
State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Charlie Howard were instrumental in helping Missouri City secure the parks fundingmdashone of only two coveted special municipal parks grants awarded by the 81st Texas Legislature Both lawmakers were recognized by City Council in 2010 for their efforts which will benefit all City residents
For updates on the project please watch the City Council ldquoAgenda amp Minutesrdquo on wwwmissouricitytxgov tune into Missouri City Television (Channel 16 on Comcast and Channel 99 on ATampT U-verse) and listen to the Cityrsquos radio sta-tionmdash1690 AM From the United States

FOOT FACTSby Dr Eric Tepper
BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668
HINT Plaster for casts is white in color but fiberglass comes in a selection of colors designs and patterns

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

Vehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have en-gines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides andor piston rings Gen-erally speaking an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair Normally engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1500 miles Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the prob-lem and thus avoid the engine work needed However it should be point-ed out that eventually oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether

Missouri City served up anoth-er match point recently in its plans to build the future Tennis and Recreation Center On Jan 27 Parks amp Recreation Director Larry Foos traveled to Austin to formally accept a $950000 grant for the project from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission State lawmakers approved the funding during their 2009 legis-lative session and Missouri City will match the grant
The state funding comes from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program which was authorized in 1993 to assist subdi-visions in providing basic public recreation facilities TRPA rev-enue is generated from a portion of the state sales tax on sporting goods
ldquoThis is great news for the citizens of Missouri Cityrdquo said
Mayor Allen Owen ldquoThe Tennis and Recreation Center will be a state-of-the-art recreational facil-ity that all residents can enjoy for years to comerdquo
Plans for the future Missouri City Tennis and Recreation Center on Cypress Point Drive have been a key City Council initiative and in 2010 members authorized staff to initiate steps for the sale of $95 million in general obligation bonds to fund improvements for this project as well as the planned Community Center and Golf Pro Shop
Using feedback from commu-nity input meetings the City has contracted with the architectural firm of PBSampJ Inc to complete a design of the center that will fea-ture tennis and basketball courts community meeting rooms two gyms aerobic exercise rooms and
senior programs Construction for the structure is targeted to begin in summer 2011
State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Charlie Howard were instrumental in helping Missouri City secure the parks fundingmdashone of only two coveted special municipal parks grants awarded by the 81st Texas Legislature Both lawmakers were recognized by City Council in 2010 for their efforts which will benefit all City residents
For updates on the project please watch the City Council ldquoAgenda amp Minutesrdquo on wwwmissouricitytxgov tune into Missouri City Television (Channel 16 on Comcast and Channel 99 on ATampT U-verse) and listen to the Cityrsquos radio sta-tionmdash1690 AM From the United States

BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

In his pleadings Butera seeks unspecified monetary damages a jury trial and reinstatement The case has been filed in the US District Court Southern Division of Texas Galveston Division Judge Kenneth M Hoyt presid-ing

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

Vehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have en-gines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides andor piston rings Gen-erally speaking an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair Normally engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1500 miles Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the prob-lem and thus avoid the engine work needed However it should be point-ed out that eventually oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether

Missouri City served up anoth-er match point recently in its plans to build the future Tennis and Recreation Center On Jan 27 Parks amp Recreation Director Larry Foos traveled to Austin to formally accept a $950000 grant for the project from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission State lawmakers approved the funding during their 2009 legis-lative session and Missouri City will match the grant
The state funding comes from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program which was authorized in 1993 to assist subdi-visions in providing basic public recreation facilities TRPA rev-enue is generated from a portion of the state sales tax on sporting goods
ldquoThis is great news for the citizens of Missouri Cityrdquo said
Mayor Allen Owen ldquoThe Tennis and Recreation Center will be a state-of-the-art recreational facil-ity that all residents can enjoy for years to comerdquo
Plans for the future Missouri City Tennis and Recreation Center on Cypress Point Drive have been a key City Council initiative and in 2010 members authorized staff to initiate steps for the sale of $95 million in general obligation bonds to fund improvements for this project as well as the planned Community Center and Golf Pro Shop
Using feedback from commu-nity input meetings the City has contracted with the architectural firm of PBSampJ Inc to complete a design of the center that will fea-ture tennis and basketball courts community meeting rooms two gyms aerobic exercise rooms and
senior programs Construction for the structure is targeted to begin in summer 2011
State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Charlie Howard were instrumental in helping Missouri City secure the parks fundingmdashone of only two coveted special municipal parks grants awarded by the 81st Texas Legislature Both lawmakers were recognized by City Council in 2010 for their efforts which will benefit all City residents
For updates on the project please watch the City Council ldquoAgenda amp Minutesrdquo on wwwmissouricitytxgov tune into Missouri City Television (Channel 16 on Comcast and Channel 99 on ATampT U-verse) and listen to the Cityrsquos radio sta-tionmdash1690 AM From the United States

FOOT FACTSby Dr Eric Tepper
BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668
HINT Plaster for casts is white in color but fiberglass comes in a selection of colors designs and patterns

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

Vehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have en-gines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides andor piston rings Gen-erally speaking an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair Normally engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1500 miles Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the prob-lem and thus avoid the engine work needed However it should be point-ed out that eventually oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether
Replacing auto parts before they fail can help you avoid breakdowns and expensive engine repair bill Re-fer to the vehiclersquos ownerrsquos manual and follow the recommended main-tenance schedule At AUTO CEN-TRAL our ASE Certified Master Technicians have expertise in diag-nosing mechanical problems and repairing or replacing parts to ensure that the vehicle you rely on daily runs smoothly and maintains its value Please call us at 281-499-9684 to schedule a maintenance check We are located at 2526 5th St Stafford Do you have a car care question Visit our discussion board on Face-book-Auto Central Autocentralau-tomotivecom

Vehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have en-gines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides andor piston rings Gen-erally speaking an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair Normally engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1500 miles Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the prob-lem and thus avoid the engine work needed However it should be point-ed out that eventually oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether
Replacing auto parts before they fail can help you avoid breakdowns and expensive engine repair bill Re-fer to the vehiclersquos ownerrsquos manual and follow the recommended main-tenance schedule At AUTO CEN-TRAL our ASE Certified Master Technicians have expertise in diag-nosing mechanical problems and repairing or replacing parts to ensure that the vehicle you rely on daily runs smoothly and maintains its value Please call us at 281-499-9684 to schedule a maintenance check We are located at 2526 5th St Stafford Do you have a car care question Visit our discussion board on Face-book-Auto Central Autocentralau-tomotivecom

Missouri City served up anoth-er match point recently in its plans to build the future Tennis and Recreation Center On Jan 27 Parks amp Recreation Director Larry Foos traveled to Austin to formally accept a $950000 grant for the project from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission State lawmakers approved the funding during their 2009 legis-lative session and Missouri City will match the grant
The state funding comes from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program which was authorized in 1993 to assist subdi-visions in providing basic public recreation facilities TRPA rev-enue is generated from a portion of the state sales tax on sporting goods
ldquoThis is great news for the citizens of Missouri Cityrdquo said
Mayor Allen Owen ldquoThe Tennis and Recreation Center will be a state-of-the-art recreational facil-ity that all residents can enjoy for years to comerdquo
Plans for the future Missouri City Tennis and Recreation Center on Cypress Point Drive have been a key City Council initiative and in 2010 members authorized staff to initiate steps for the sale of $95 million in general obligation bonds to fund improvements for this project as well as the planned Community Center and Golf Pro Shop
Using feedback from commu-nity input meetings the City has contracted with the architectural firm of PBSampJ Inc to complete a design of the center that will fea-ture tennis and basketball courts community meeting rooms two gyms aerobic exercise rooms and
senior programs Construction for the structure is targeted to begin in summer 2011
State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Charlie Howard were instrumental in helping Missouri City secure the parks fundingmdashone of only two coveted special municipal parks grants awarded by the 81st Texas Legislature Both lawmakers were recognized by City Council in 2010 for their efforts which will benefit all City residents
For updates on the project please watch the City Council ldquoAgenda amp Minutesrdquo on wwwmissouricitytxgov tune into Missouri City Television (Channel 16 on Comcast and Channel 99 on ATampT U-verse) and listen to the Cityrsquos radio sta-tionmdash1690 AM From the United States

FOOT FACTSby Dr Eric Tepper
BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

Vehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have en-gines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides andor piston rings Gen-erally speaking an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair Normally engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1500 miles Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the prob-lem and thus avoid the engine work needed However it should be point-ed out that eventually oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether

Missouri City served up anoth-er match point recently in its plans to build the future Tennis and Recreation Center On Jan 27 Parks amp Recreation Director Larry Foos traveled to Austin to formally accept a $950000 grant for the project from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission State lawmakers approved the funding during their 2009 legis-lative session and Missouri City will match the grant
The state funding comes from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program which was authorized in 1993 to assist subdi-visions in providing basic public recreation facilities TRPA rev-enue is generated from a portion of the state sales tax on sporting goods
ldquoThis is great news for the citizens of Missouri Cityrdquo said
Mayor Allen Owen ldquoThe Tennis and Recreation Center will be a state-of-the-art recreational facil-ity that all residents can enjoy for years to comerdquo
Plans for the future Missouri City Tennis and Recreation Center on Cypress Point Drive have been a key City Council initiative and in 2010 members authorized staff to initiate steps for the sale of $95 million in general obligation bonds to fund improvements for this project as well as the planned Community Center and Golf Pro Shop
Using feedback from commu-nity input meetings the City has contracted with the architectural firm of PBSampJ Inc to complete a design of the center that will fea-ture tennis and basketball courts community meeting rooms two gyms aerobic exercise rooms and
senior programs Construction for the structure is targeted to begin in summer 2011
State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Charlie Howard were instrumental in helping Missouri City secure the parks fundingmdashone of only two coveted special municipal parks grants awarded by the 81st Texas Legislature Both lawmakers were recognized by City Council in 2010 for their efforts which will benefit all City residents
For updates on the project please watch the City Council ldquoAgenda amp Minutesrdquo on wwwmissouricitytxgov tune into Missouri City Television (Channel 16 on Comcast and Channel 99 on ATampT U-verse) and listen to the Cityrsquos radio sta-tionmdash1690 AM From the United States

FOOT FACTSby Dr Eric Tepper
BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

Vehicles that emit blue smoke from their tailpipes likely have en-gines that are burning oil due to worn valve guides andor piston rings Gen-erally speaking an engine that burns more than a quart of oil every 500 miles is in need of repair Normally engines consume a quart or less of oil every 1500 miles Some vehicle owners with this problem conclude that it is far less expensive to simply add more oil than to correct the prob-lem and thus avoid the engine work needed However it should be point-ed out that eventually oil leaking into the cylinder will foul the spark plugs to the point where the engine will misfire or fail to fire altogether
Replacing auto parts before they fail can help you avoid breakdowns and expensive engine repair bill Re-fer to the vehiclersquos ownerrsquos manual and follow the recommended main-tenance schedule At AUTO CEN-TRAL our ASE Certified Master Technicians have expertise in diag-nosing mechanical problems and repairing or replacing parts to ensure that the vehicle you rely on daily runs smoothly and maintains its value Please call us at 281-499-9684 to schedule a maintenance check We are located at 2526 5th St Stafford Do you have a car care question Visit our discussion board on Face-book-Auto Central Autocentralau-tomotivecom

Missouri City served up anoth-er match point recently in its plans to build the future Tennis and Recreation Center On Jan 27 Parks amp Recreation Director Larry Foos traveled to Austin to formally accept a $950000 grant for the project from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission State lawmakers approved the funding during their 2009 legis-lative session and Missouri City will match the grant
The state funding comes from the Texas Recreation and Parks Account Program which was authorized in 1993 to assist subdi-visions in providing basic public recreation facilities TRPA rev-enue is generated from a portion of the state sales tax on sporting goods
ldquoThis is great news for the citizens of Missouri Cityrdquo said
Mayor Allen Owen ldquoThe Tennis and Recreation Center will be a state-of-the-art recreational facil-ity that all residents can enjoy for years to comerdquo
Plans for the future Missouri City Tennis and Recreation Center on Cypress Point Drive have been a key City Council initiative and in 2010 members authorized staff to initiate steps for the sale of $95 million in general obligation bonds to fund improvements for this project as well as the planned Community Center and Golf Pro Shop
Using feedback from commu-nity input meetings the City has contracted with the architectural firm of PBSampJ Inc to complete a design of the center that will fea-ture tennis and basketball courts community meeting rooms two gyms aerobic exercise rooms and
senior programs Construction for the structure is targeted to begin in summer 2011
State Senator Joan Huffman and State Representative Charlie Howard were instrumental in helping Missouri City secure the parks fundingmdashone of only two coveted special municipal parks grants awarded by the 81st Texas Legislature Both lawmakers were recognized by City Council in 2010 for their efforts which will benefit all City residents
For updates on the project please watch the City Council ldquoAgenda amp Minutesrdquo on wwwmissouricitytxgov tune into Missouri City Television (Channel 16 on Comcast and Channel 99 on ATampT U-verse) and listen to the Cityrsquos radio sta-tionmdash1690 AM From the United States

FOOT FACTSby Dr Eric Tepper
BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

Medications for Treating BronchitisBronchitis is an infection and inflammatory condition of the airways A
normally functioning respiratory tract provides defense against infecnottion However if these defenses are impaired an infection of the lower respiratory tract could occur Respiratory viruses typically cause bronnotchitis however the condition could also be caused by bacteria Bronchinottis may be classified as acute or chronic Although both types may occur at any age chronic bron-chitis occurs more commonly in adults Cough that lasts a week or longer is a common symptom of acute bronchitis A fever may also occur
Typically acute bronchitis will resolve without treatment However treatments are available to help alleviate symptoms Persons with bronnotchitis should drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration Medications for fever include acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil Motrin) Dextro-methorphan (Delsym) is a cough suppressant that is available overnotthe-counter and may be used to treat a mild persistent cough For a cough that is more severe codeine may be prescribed Although the majority of persons with bronchitis do not need an antibiotic older indinotviduals or those with a reduced functioning immune system may be prenotscribed an antibiotic such as azithromycin (Zithromax) or levofloxacin (Levaquin)

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

FOOT FACTSby Dr Eric Tepper
BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668
HINT Plaster for casts is white in color but fiberglass comes in a selection of colors designs and patterns

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution
to take adverse personnel action against an employee for exer-cising the right to organize and speak on matters of public con-cernrdquo
In his pleadings Butera seeks unspecified monetary damages a jury trial and reinstatement The case has been filed in the US District Court Southern Division of Texas Galveston Division Judge Kenneth M Hoyt presid-ing

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

FOOT FACTSby Dr Eric Tepper
BOARD CERTIFIED PODIATRIST ACCPPS
HOW DO THEY DO ITA cast serves to keep a broken bone in place while it is healing The
stabilization provided by a cast also discourages muscle contractions Plaster and fiberglass are the two most common materials used to make casts Plaster may support the bone more specifically since it can be precisely molded to the patient However because of its weightiness a plaster cast can prove cumbersome for the patient In addition the material must remain dry or its shape will become distorted Fiberglass is sturdier and lighter in weight It is also more breathable and longer-wearing than plaster Both types of casts are applied over a few protec-tive layers of cotton or synthetic material to protect the underlying skin
Podiatrists are specially trained to care for foot fractures including providing the casts that help broken bones heal correctly In addition to being skilled at making a diagnosis and establishing an appropriate treatment plan we strive to decrease your pain and other symptoms and prepare you for a return to activity Wersquoll also counsel you on how to prevent problems from recurring Our state-of-the-art footcare facilities are located at 3143 Hwy 6 South where sports injuries are one of our areas of special concern You can reach us at 281-980-3668
HINT Plaster for casts is white in color but fiberglass comes in a selection of colors designs and patterns

Buterarsquos attorney Gregory Cagle of League City said ldquoThe plaintiff alleges that it is a depri-vation of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution

Howard said ldquoIt will be nec-essary for FBISD as well as all ISDs across the state to trim their budgetsrdquo but until final decisions are made the results of these specific cuts cannot be accurately forecasted
FBISD will hold four bud-get town hall meetings from 7-830 pm at different campus locations for the community about the state budget cuts and the potential impact they could have on FBISD The district reports it will proceed with planning the district budget for its next school year under the presumption that it may need to be adjusted after the state adopts its budget probably by some time this summer

In the early 1980rsquos the US Postal Service became an inde-pendent self-sufficient financial entity and although it is a fed-eral agency it has not received taxpayer funding since then However a source indicates that it is borrowing money from the US Treasury to stay afloat and that it may no longer be able to borrow money from the govern-ment since it may soon be at the capped amount

Old flag 1980
New flag
By Elsa MaxeyTherersquos a new one now ldquoa
modernizedrdquo county flag says DrsquoNeal Krish Fort Bend County Community Relations Manager It the new redesigned flag that Fort Bend County Commissionerrsquos Court unanimously approved and adopted as the countyrsquos official flag last week during a commissionerrsquos
court meeting The original Fort Bend County
flag was adopted in 1980rdquo advises Krish and it was among those submitted as part of a local con-test sponsored by the Fort Bend Historical Commission for design-ing a flag for the county That winning flag selected by a panel of judges was designed by Jeff
Siptak at the time that he was a junior attending Lamar High School
Siptakrsquos winning design depict-ed in accordance with requirements that the flag reflect the history of Fort Bend County displayed the year 1822 That was the year that the first settlers came to Fort Bend County Green sheaves of wheat signified the agricultural heritage and wealth of the county accord-ing to a documented description There was also a yellow log cabin representing the original one built by settlers after they arrived and made this area their home
A classic Texas lone star in dark blue was part of the background of the retired flag And the revised flags has that same size lone star
ldquoWith the building of the new Justice Center in 2010-2011 we thought it was time to modernize the flagrdquo said Krish She says that all of Siptakrsquos original sentiments remain in the new flag ldquoand just changed up to reflect a new and modernized versionrdquo with the red white and blue Americana patriotic colors The new flag is described as having a top and bottom blue bor-der a white background and within the borders there is a blue colored circle bordered in red right in its center In the circle lies the brown log cabin of the original settlers A prominent Texas white star is located behind the cabin and there is a green leafed wreath embracing it with the Fort Bend County name centered above the star The found-ing year 1822 is included on the bottom of the circle
So what do you think
Fort Bend County got a brand new flag

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents

Medications for Treating BronchitisBronchitis is an infection and inflammatory condition of the airways A
normally functioning respiratory tract provides defense against infecnottion However if these defenses are impaired an infection of the lower respiratory tract could occur Respiratory viruses typically cause bronnotchitis however the condition could also be caused by bacteria Bronchinottis may be classified as acute or chronic Although both types may occur at any age chronic bron-chitis occurs more commonly in adults Cough that lasts a week or longer is a common symptom of acute bronchitis A fever may also occur
Typically acute bronchitis will resolve without treatment However treatments are available to help alleviate symptoms Persons with bronnotchitis should drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration Medications for fever include acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil Motrin) Dextro-methorphan (Delsym) is a cough suppressant that is available overnotthe-counter and may be used to treat a mild persistent cough For a cough that is more severe codeine may be prescribed Although the majority of persons with bronchitis do not need an antibiotic older indinotviduals or those with a reduced functioning immune system may be prenotscribed an antibiotic such as azithromycin (Zithromax) or levofloxacin (Levaquin)

DPS does not solicit donationsBy Elsa Maxey
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) warns resi-dents about private charitable solicitations by telemarketers on behalf of its department some of which may have already called local area residents
DPS Director Steven C McCraw said that DPS which is funded with tax dollars does not call nor does it solicit financial contributions from private citi-zens or businesses
DPS reports that for years now it has received complaints from citizens about rudeness and high pressure tactics Those making the solicitations are said to be using ldquothe good name andor logo of the department and often times in conjunction with the untimely death of a state trooperrdquo said a spokesman from the DPS
Some groups reportedly include in their names ie Texas Rangers State Troopers Texas Highway Patrol or Department of Public Safety In spite some of the officersrsquo memberships in these associations DPS says the organizations are not affiliated with the DPS nor do they repre-sent the department At least one Sugar Land resident reports that
a representative from the Texas Highway Patrol Association amp Museum called him for a mon-etary contribution He said ldquothey followed-up with a letter in the mail and supporting documenta-tionrdquo and he said he donated to their effort last year and will do so again this year
In the meantime DPS advises that some of these organiza-tions suggest that official look-ing decals placed on personal vehicles that resemble official DPS affiliation may somehow keep the individual from receiv-ing a traffic citation from law enforcement The Sugar Land contributor recently solicited said that the group that contacted him was clear about how his support would not entitle him to any legal privileges or immuni-ties and he said he just wanted to contribute to a non-profit group with a death benefit program for officers
If you are contacted by a group you believe is misrepresent-ing itself as part of the Texas Department of Public Safety you are advised to contact the Consumer Protection Division of the Texas Attorney Generalrsquos Office at 1-800-621-0508

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day

Rolling blackouts to prepare us for wintry mix - ldquosnowrdquo way from page 1
conserve and redistribute power throughout the state system Reports indicate that power plants were affected as a result of maintenance and pipe freez-ing issues Accounts indicate that the weakness in the power grid will be undergoing scrutiny to prevent it from happening in the future ERCOT manages the flow of electric power to a sizeable customer base about 22 million in the state and it represents 85 percent of the states electric load on 75 percent of the land area in Texas
Employees of a Sugar Land Krogers grocery story on SH6
said their back-up generator kept them doing business-as-usual as the rolling backouts occurred throughout the morning on Wednesday But just down the way towards US 59 city spokesperson Doug Adolph said ldquowe received no reports of city facilities affected by the rolling blackoutsrdquo Some Sugar Land residents however were mildly inconvenienced and said they had the intermittent outages
The downtown Richmond area experienced blackout conditions after 7 am on Wednesday accord-ing to the countys Emergency Management Coordinator Jeff
Braun County buildings were affected the Travis building courthouse Jane Long and the OEM he reports however gen-erators minimized the impact to these county facilities although not every building has a back-up generator Some have quick con-nects he said allowing portable generator hook-ups
Some Fort Bend ISD schools are in CenterPointrsquos service areas with power circuits that are subject to rolling blackouts in Fort Bend County and the greater Houston area reports Chief Auxiliary Services Officer Ben Copeland ldquoSeveral locations did experience
periodic power outages lasting 10-45 minutes on Feb 2rdquo He said the HVAC systems at all Fort Bend ISD schools were running continuously through the night during the hard freeze and winter storm to keep building tempera-tures constant which helped dur-ing the rolling blackouts
ldquoOne FBISD campus had a temporary problem with water due to a local MUD pumping station that had problems with
its generatorrdquo states Copeland however lunches were provided at all campuses and he said the district is proud of the way that both students and staff responded during the power emergency
According to Stafford Municipal School Districtrsquos Teresa Loudenburg ldquoSMSD was very fortunate and did not experi-ence a black-outrdquo She said teach-ers were prepared to move stu-dents to locations near windows
and skylights in the event that it occurred Although SMSD does not have generators to keep its buildings powered in the event of a black-out Loudenburg said the City of Stafford submitted a grant request for a generator for long-term use for loss of electric-ity incidents
In the end area schools ended up calling off school attendance on Friday with some declaring it a snow day
