By BARBARA FULENWIDERThe Fort Bend County Wa-

ter Control & Improvement District No. 2 (WCID No. 2) has called a $37.9 million bond referendum for Novem-ber. When the district wants to borrow money it tends to up-set and anger some elected city offi cials and Mayor Leonard Scarcella.

The mayor’s concern is that WCID No. 2’s extension of its boundaries into Missouri City, Sugar Land and Houston may someday leave Stafford with-out enough water and with ma-jor debt.

He said, “WCID No. 2 is working with Sugar Land to sell them water, which leaves Stafford out, and is why we’ve taken the action we’ve taken.

“We have money in this budget to protect the water supply for Stafford in the com-ing decades. We have done this because we have no confi dence whatsoever that WCID No. 2 is

concerned about the viability of Stafford.

“Sugar Land will be well fortifi ed, and Missouri City is working to take over all the water control in their city, and we’ll be left with WCID No. 2 after everybody else cuts them off,” Scarcella said.

Stafford’s 2011 budget has $35,000 in it “to determine our rights and our authority over how to best protect and control our water supply in the future and to get lawyers and experts to assess and give us a game plan for the best approach go-ing forward as far as the eye can see,” the mayor said.

What particularly worries the mayor is when the parts of Sugar Land, Missouri City and Houston that are now in WCID No. 2 no longer are, Stafford will be the lone customer and saddled with the district’s debt.

Stafford is 75 percent of the district’s tax base, and, Scar-

cella said, “We have no con-trol and an obstinate and very unconcerned leadership there regarding Stafford. They nego-tiate with Sugar Land and Mis-souri City but they don’t with Stafford.”

The water district is current-ly talking to Sugar Land about selling water. “It’s like these cities that are selling their air-ports, parks and freeways,” Scarcella said. He named nu-merous towns in Fort Bend County that have secured their own water for now and the fu-ture.

“WCID No. 2 will be to-tally boxed in and amputated by what’s providing water to Sugar Land, Missouri City and Houston. Then Stafford will have to assume all this debt and WCID No. 2 will be an amputated water district,” the mayor said.

“We’re going to be the odd man out and the one left to fend and fi ght with WCID No. 2.”

Sports for Charity hosted by Fort Bend Community Church partners with com-munity leaders and agencies to provide services to people undergoing hardships. This year’s main event is a Walk-a-thon and will be held on Saturday, Sept. 25, beginning at 8 a.m. at FBCC. Proceeds from the event will benefi t the new FBCC M68 fund, which is founded on the biblical scripture, Micah 6:8, “To act justly and to love mercy and to humbly walk with your God.” County Judge Bob He-bert, left and County Com-missioner James Patterson hold the banner for the event, while former Sugar Land Councilman and church member Daniel Wong is at far right, along with other church volunteers.

Stafford mayor questions water district’s bond election

By SESHADRI KUMARSchools in Fort Bend ISD

are good and they are getting better day by day, despite the lingering problem of state funding for education.

That was the message from three chief executives of local school districts at the “State of the Schools” luncheon orga-nized by the education division of the Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce at the Sugar Land Town Square Marriott on Sept. 10.

Dr. Timothy Jenney, Fort Bend ISD superintendent, presented highlights of some of the exceptional results achieved by the district in the 2010 Academic Excellence In-dicator System.

Of the 25 Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills indi-cators used in the system, be-tween 2009 and 2010 FBISD showed an increase in 24 and the one indicator that did not show an increase remained the same at 99 percent.

Addressing concerns about the quality of education, Jen-ney said the state will intro-duce a new test in 2012, called State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) which will be more rigorous

than TAKS. STAAR will place greater

emphasis on alignment to col-lege and career readiness and will have 12 end-of-course as-sessments rather than a grade-specifi c test covering four sub-ject areas.

To demonstrate the point that even the existing TAKS stan-dards are very rigorous, Jen-ney turned the tables against the well educated, business men and women, profession-als, community leaders and elected offi cials and educators in the banquet hall, fi lled to ca-pacity.

Jenney gave a sample of fi ve TAKS Test questions and asked the audience to answer. The answers were tabulated instantly from remote devices at each table. Suffi ce it to say that the audience did not pass the test with fl ying colors.

(Three of the fi ve test ques-tions are given below and test yourself.)1. Francis, Leon, and Shelby are running for president of their school’s student council. A random survey of 60 stu-dents was taken to determine whom they planned to vote for in the election. The results are shown in the table below.

Based on the data in the table, which of the following is the best prediction of the number of students who will vote for Leon if 2500 students vote? A. 1208B. 292C. 916D. 550

2. In which container is the substance unable to transfer heat by convection? (a) Chlorine, ( b) Air, (c) Wa-ter and (d) Aluminum.

3. Which of these would cause the gravitational force be-tween earth and the sun to decrease? A. An increase in the length of a day on EarthB. An increase in the distance between Earth and the sunC. An increase in the number of planets orbiting the sunD. An increase in the masses of Earth and the sun.

“Our behaviors defi ne us,” said H.D. Chambers, superin-tendent of Stafford Municipal School District.

Chambers proudly an-nounced that the Stafford MSD is a Recognized District. Additionally, the district will be lowering the total tax rate by 10 percent. Also, the num-ber of economically disadvan-taged children in the district is growing which is now at 64 percent, compared to 58 per-cent last year and 50 percent in 2006-07.

SMSD is “property wealthy” under the state’s funding for-mula. That does not mean the students are wealthy.

The district is offering in-creasing number of career paths. SMSD also offers dual language classes at KG level, offering English-Chinese and English-Vietnamese.

He then spoke about the drop-out rates affecting all dis-tricts. The good news is that Fort Bend County’s drop-out rates are signifi cantly lower than all of Texas. Chambers

provided a list of the com-munity outreach programs all the districts are involved in to decrease the drop-out rate even further. He encouraged the audience to participate in a Mentoring/Coaching con-ference set for Sept. 29 at the Stafford Center sponsored by ACHIEVE.

Dr. Thomas Randle, super-intendent, Lamar CSD said, “Whether it is our smallest student or our biggest athlete, we produce some of the fi nest students in the state.”

Lamar CISD has career and college facilitators at every high school. Its Project Lead the Way Engineering and Bio-medical Sciences programs of-fer students hands-on experi-ence and college-preparatory level classes, labs and creative exercises.

Dr. Randle then discussed school fi nance and the impact of the HB 3646 that resulted from the 81st Legislative ses-sion. He reminded the audi-ence that any increase in prop-erty value does not benefi t the school districts as the addition-al tax revenue goes to the state coffers.

Reducing the equity gap

among various school districts, fl exibility in the mandatory student-teacher ratio in class rooms and restoring the ability of the local school districts to set their own tax rate are some of the issues that the Legisla-ture should look at the next session, he said.

Jim Rice, Vice Chair of the Fort Bend Chamber of Com-merce’s Education Division commented, “Continued strong attendance from our commu-nity business leaders, elected offi cials and our citizens dem-onstrate that our communities are invested in the success of our local school districts.”

The Fort Bend Chamber of Commerce Education Division will present School Finance 101 on Friday, Oct. 1 at 7:30 a.m. at the Fort Bend Cham-ber of Commerce. The speaker will be school fi nance expert David Thompson III, a partner in the fi rm Thompson & Hor-ton LLP.

Fort Bend Baptist Acad-emy started a new tradition at their opening scrimmage this year: Relay for Life - Battle at the Bend.

As the Eagles squared off against Cypress Christian for gridiron action, fans from both teams generously donat-ed over $2,800 to benefi t the American Cancer Society.

The brainchild of Head Football Coach Bruce Lane,

he was eager to partner with the Cancer Society as a way to benefi t our community and kick off another successful football season.

Though he has been in-volved in similar events at his previous school in Geor-gia, Coach Lane stated, “This year’s event raised more mon-ey for cancer than any other event I have been involved with at a school.”

Margaret Ray, Community Manager for the Gulf Coast Region of the American Can-cer Society, was enthusiastic about the evening’s success, “You all did a fantastic job, and have a very generous stu-dent body, faculty, and par-ents.”

Plans are already underway to host a basketball event to benefi t a community charity this winter.

Fort Bend Baptist Academy geography teacher Jill Ebarb, a cancer survivor, was the honorary team captain for the game.

FBBA supports American Cancer Society

Safari Texas, 11627 FM 1464 in Richmond, will pres-ent its 9th Annual Salute to Fort Bend, “A Tapestry of the Past, Present and Future.”

The gala will take place on Saturday, Oct. 9, from 7 p.m to 10:30 pm. The benefi ciary of this year’s Salute is the Mamie George Community Center, a program of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. The honorees of this year’s event are County Judge Bob and Pat Hebert, the Honorable Glenn and Dara Hegar, and Gene and Pat Reed. A special honoree presentation will be made by the First Family of Taekwondo and United States Olympic Coach Jean Lopez.

Ten years ago, Allison Wen, owner and general manager of Safari Texas Ballroom at Safari Texas Ranch, made the decision that, to give back to the Fort Bend community, Sa-fari Texas would underwrite

one fundraiser each year in a Salute to Fort Bend, with the recipient of the funds raised to be decided by each year’s committee.

The benefi ciary of the fi rst Salute, in 2002, was the new Cinco Ranch Branch Library. The second Salute, in 2003, raised funds for the Fort Bend CORPS.

The third year, 2004, the committee decided to incor-porate recognition and assis-tance for working with the future of our county – our youth, so funds raised went to Boy Scout programs in Fort Bend County.

In 2005, the Salute’s Cook-ie Diva Gala raised funds for Girl Scout programs in Fort Bend County, and in 2006, the Salute’s DreamBuilders was very successful in raising and bringing in both funds and extra baby/child necessi-ties for Casa de Esperanza de los Niños’ programs in Fort

Bend County. The 2007 Salute’s Spirit

of Caring raised funds for Common Threads (LCISD) and Shared Dreams (FBISD). Last year, the Salute’s Com-munity Connection benefi ted Volunteer Fort Bend.

Allison and Cassandra Wen have shown extraordinary generosity in committing to underwriting a fundraiser to assist a Fort Bend organiza-tion each year, and that is of great benefi t to the Fort Bend community.

The Wens, the Safari Texas Ranch staff, and the event committee work very hard to make the event a success, and each year the Salute becomes one to “top” the following year. For more information about sponsorships or tickets, contact Dee Koch at 281-980-2909 or [email protected], or Joyce Kennerly at 713-385-5592.

Sugar Land Police Chief Doug Brinkley was the Fort Bend Rotary Club’s speaker for their Sept. 15 inaugural meeting at their new loca-tion, the Hilton Garden Inn on Highway 6.

Brinkley engaged and sur-prised the group by discreetly having an offi cer walk around each vehicle in the parking lot making notes of the make, model and color of each ve-hicle and what personal items were visible inside the ve-hicle.

Many of the Club members were surprised when from the podium Brinkley asked who drove a particular vehicle and then proceeded to tell them what personal items they had left within plain view for a criminal to see.

Several members had left cell phones, GPS systems or packages within view. It was

an eye opener for many. He pointed out that not only will you lose the personal item to a criminal and how quickly it can be done, but maybe even more importantly the cost associated with the damage done to the vehicle itself.

Brinkley also talked to the Club about ePolicing, which is a program any Sugar Land resident can sign-up for to re-ceive daily email reports re-garding any occurrence that happens in their neighbor-hood.

To learn more about ePolic-ing or to sign-up go to http://www.sugarlandtx.gov/police/epolicing/index.asp.

Sugar Land is one of the safest cities in the state, but Brinkley asks that all Sugar Land residents please be mindful of your own safety.

Don’t leave personal items in your car; park your cars in

your garage with the alarms set and the garage doors down. He also points out that when you get out of your car to pump gas you should try to pump gas during daylight hours.

In addition, you should lock the doors; there have been in-stances where someone will drive-up beside a vehicle and grab a purse from the pas-senger side while the victim pumps gas.

Brinkley says that the near-er we get to the holidays the more the criminals will be looking for easy opportuni-ties.

The Fort Bend Rotary Club invites you to visit with them at the Hilton Garden Inn on Wednesday evenings at 6:45 p.m. The guest speaker for Wednesday, Sept. 22 will be Wayne Dolcefi no, Channel 13’s investigative reporter.

By THOMAS J. PARR, M.D. You want your children to

be active kids. It helps them establish healthy lifestyles. It encourages them to try new things and to develop self-confi dence.

But sometimes, active kids do try things which don’t al-ways work out too well, and they can end up with a broken bone.

While this is a normal part of childhood, for fi rst-time fracture parents, it can be quite unnerving.

Knowing in advance about what to do when a child does break a bone will help you overcome those fi rst minutes of anxiety and will reassure your son or daughter that he or she will be OK again soon.

First assess the nature of the injury and how it hap-pened. Do your best to remain calm if you learn your child was doing something not so bright like using the dog to pull him down the sidewalk, off the curb, and into street on a skateboard, or trying to learn how to skydive out of a tree. Yes, those are indeed two examples of real cases in my offi ce over the years!

Once you know what hap-pened, you need to know what hit the ground fi rst.

As long as it was not the head, the neck, or the back, and as long as you are not looking at a lot of blood, you probably do not need to be calling 911 on your cell phone.

If you need to move your child to a safer place at this point (out of the street, for ex-ample), you can.

Given the choice between a fracture and a sprain, as-sume your child’s injury is a fracture. That is because chil-dren’s ligaments are stronger than their growing bones.

Use a little imagination about what is available to make a splint. A rolled maga-

zine and tape work well. Oth-er options might be things like a small pillow and a belt or an ace wrap around a couple of clean long-handled kitchen spoons. Getting a make-do splint on your child is the fi rst step and will make him feel a little more comfortable.

As soon as you can, elevate the injured limb to a level above the heart and apply an ice pack (but not directly onto the skin). This will make your child a little more com-fortable because it will reduce the throbbing; but more im-portantly, it will help decrease swelling which could lead to more serious potential com-plications.

If there is a cut or break in the skin near the fracture or if the bone end has punctured through the skin, just cover the area with moist clean cloth and seek medical attention immediately. An orthopedic surgeon will need to treat an “open fracture” like this in the operating room under sterile conditions as soon as possible to prevent infection.

Each doctor has a preferred way of handling non-life threatening emergencies, so knowing what your doctor wants in advance will be help-ful. Personally, I encourage my patients to call the offi ce directly, even if after hours, because doing so can often save them both time and mon-ey. If nothing else, I can call around to fi nd which emer-

gency room has the shortest wait time, and sometimes I can have x-ray orders already waiting when they get there.

If the fracture is not badly displaced and if there is no numbness or tingling, it is usually appropriate to wait 3-5 days before applying a cast. This will allow time for swelling to go down, thus reducing the chances for a delayed emergency complica-tion once the cast is on.

A recent study done at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada has intro-duced the idea that for some children’s fractures, especially wrist fractures, a splint might be just as effective a method of treatment as a cast. If this is a possibility for your child’s injury, it defi nitely would make bathing easier, espe-cially for a young child. An-other option might be to get a water-safe cast, made with a cast lining material such as goretex. Insurance will not pay for the extra cost, but the convenience certainly might be worth the extra money.

With children’s fractures, the bones are still growing, and a large number of children’s fractures involve the growth plate located at the ends of the bones. It is important to diagnose fractures of the growth plate, but not to over-treat them. However, growth plate fractures do need to be checked every few months by your orthopedic surgeon to be sure the bone is continuing to grow properly. It is important to catch and to treat any bone growth deformity as soon as possible. Don’t assume your child is doing fi ne and decide to skip these periodic growth plate injury check ups.

By JANICE SCANLANIt took several years.

When something happens slowly, its impact isn’t as noticed.

So walking up to my of-fi ce the day after cataract surgery in the very early morning I was stunned by the blue sky over the trees on the western horizon. I stood transfi xed before the window and just drank in the color.

The anesthesiologist had told me the day of surgery I would be amazed by the colors, but you wear an eye patch that day and only re-move it briefl y to apply eye drops.

Even after removing the patch the next morning it was still dawn’s early light downstairs with the trees and angle of the sun fi lter-ing the light. So that intense and deep blue were indeed a startling sight . . . and one I could not have imagined.

John was still asleep so I had to wait to tell him. A couple of years prior, he had had much more serious eye surgery, not always the type you see the next day . . . and what you begin to see often happens over time and sometimes comes and goes.

His fi rst experience of color was opening our front door into the courtyard

By RUSSELL C. JONESLast week the Sugar Land

City Council met with the state senators representing Fort Bend County to discuss the city’s agenda for next year’s legisla-tive session.

Many thanks to Senators He-gar and Huffman for taking the time to hear the concerns of lo-cal government. Representa-tive-elect Reynolds from west Fort Bend also attended and promised his support.

For the past eight years the City Council has regularly ad-opted an agenda to guide the city staff and the Council itself to put a uniform face on its re-quests for assistance in Austin.

As the city has grown, inter-action with the state has become an ever greater concern. The ef-fort has paid off, and Sugar Land has seen its infl uence grow dur-ing each biennium.

High on the list of successes has been the effort to acquire the land currently occupied by the Central Prison Unit. As the city has built out, it has become apparent that the city’s business sector must expand in order to keep taxes low for residents. The problem is that Sugar Land has relatively little land still available for business uses.

The Sugar Land Industrial Park has only a small amount of unoccupied land left.

Most of the area around the intersection of US 59 and Uni-versity Blvd. is expected to become residential. Although other isolated areas of potential business development still exist, long-term plans are needed now. That is where the Central Prison Unit comes in.

The prison is one of the oldest in the state’s system. Signifi cant upgrades are required to comply with modern standards, and the land itself is far more valuable to the state if it is sold, rather than

retained as a prison. When it was built, the unit

was far out in the country away from populated areas. With the growth of the Houston area, and Sugar Land in particular, the state could replace the prison on less expensive land.

The Legislature apparently agrees and in 2007 initiated a feasibility study to determine the best use of the land. In 2009 it followed up and authorized the city to purchase a small part of the property currently housing prison guards.

In the coming session, the city is pressing its plan for the relocation of the facility and to allow the city to acquire a por-tion of the property for the Sug-ar Land Regional Airport. The remainder of the land would be owned and developed in partner-ship with the private sector as a business park.

The city would have a new large area for business growth, with the ultimate result of keep-ing taxes low for residents.

In anticipation of successes in the Legislature, requests for statements of interest will go out this month to fi nd a private de-veloper partner for the proposed business park. Already under-way is in an environmental study being completed by the aviation

division of TxDot. An appraisal is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Also planned for this session is legislation which would give Fort Bend County representa-tion on the board of directors of the Gulf Coast Water Authority.

GCWA is a governmental unit based in Galveston County which controls the water rights of Oyster Creek and other area waterways.

Fort Bend customers already account for nearly 23% of GCWA’s total water contracts. Agreements were reached with the authority back in 1996 for the addition of a Fort Bend rep-resentative to the board, but leg-islative action is required.

Perhaps the most important objective of the city’s legislative agenda is opposition to unfunded mandates imposed by the state. Legislators are already forecast-ing a $18 billion budget defi cit for the coming biennium.

A substantial part of that defi cit in turn refl ects unfunded mandates from the federal gov-ernment. Whatever the source, it can be expected that the legis-lature will do what it can to pass along the costs of government to municipalities and counties, without providing any method for local governments to pay for them.

Avoiding unfunded mandates is the best reason for maintain-ing good relationships with the area’s legislators.

They need to hear from the City Council as it attempts to provide police, fi re, water, trash pickup and other critical servic-es to its taxpayers. Just as im-portantly, they need to hear from the taxpayers themselves.

Jones is a member of the Sug-ar Land City Council, having been fi rst elected in 2003. He owns a law fi rm and a title insur-ance company in Sugar Land.

Musings: Gorillas in the mist

Parr

Meeting with the legislators

Her spouse can hardly be-lieve her. Well, it’s happened to me as well. Then, there’s the sharpness of more distant objects. I can’t wait to see some really colorful birds, but many are molting right now so they are in the bird equivalent of a bad hair day.

When I fi rst saw the blue sky, I put my hand over my “new eye” and experienced the difference with my old eye, which is not as bad as the surgery eye was. How-ever, the difference is re-markable. John tells me his Fuchs Dystrophy group calls this switching viewing eyes the “Fuchs’ Shuffl e.” So I’m shuffl ing now.

And to think only two days before surgery driving to my client in Bellville that my vi-sion was such that I didn’t know how much was morn-ing mist and how much was me, but I slowed down just to be safer. I apologized for being a little late and made a joke of my “gorillas in the mist” eyesight.

However, I’m already starting to take my new vi-sion for granted. I hope I can continue to remember the awe and appreciation I feel now for losing my “gorillas in the mist” vision.

and being mesmerized by the green. He was sure the friend dropping off a pack-age thought he was drunk . . . he couldn’t quit looking at the green and was too awed to make conversation.

I waited for more light and went to look at the courtyard, but I suppose it’s the fi rst time you experience color that is your most intense.

Later that day driving back from my doctor’s visit and lunch in Bellaire, I had my next experience driving along a tree-lined boulevard. It was not just the green of the trees, but how 3-D they were in the distance.

My friend Jo Ann tells me after her cataract surgery her depth perception and the di-mensionality of objects and HDTV are amazing.

This is Ben Affl eck’s mov-ie. Ben is the director, star, and co-writer. His stock is about to go sky high; he has entered the Clint Eastwood stratosphere with this touch-ing, action fi lm.

The storyline involves four Bostonians from the Charles-town neighborhood who spe-cialize in robbing armored trucks and banks. Doug Mac-Ray (Affl eck) is the brains of this dubious band of thieves that also includes the classic over-the-top member James Coughlin (Jeremy “The Hurt Locker” Renner.)

Coughlin is the two-time ex-con that vows not to go back to prison and isn’t the least bit afraid to smash someone’s head with his M4 full auto carbine or shoot them depending on his mood or twisted rationale.

The script is wonderfully written and the characters are complicated which means they are terribly fl awed with some redeeming human qualities with just a pinch of charm. That formula bodes well for a violent fi lm that in-volves cops and robbers thus

allowing the audience to like everybody. And I did.

Obviously I was pulling for Ben and the boys to get away with their bank heists. What does that say about me? It says that the acting, directing and screenplay were outstanding. I even liked the FBI Special Agent (Jon “Mad Men” Hamm) who was try-ing to put the pieces together so he could bust the gang be-cause he is a do-gooder cop. Well, not exactly because the FBI boys cut some corners, too, in the name of the law, of course.

More complications: dur-ing one of the bank jobs, the robbers take a beautiful bank manager (Rebecca Hall) hostage, but let her go un-harmed.

Then Coughlin starts wor-rying that perhaps the bank manager might remember too much about them and help the FBI. So, on behalf of the team, Affl eck’s character be-friends her and promptly falls in love.

Now let’s recap: bank rob-bers take a hostage and let her go, then the leader of the gang

does some recon and falls in love with the fair maiden while the FBI is closing in and the gang smells a rat. Uh oh, I smell trouble and you know I’m also blessed with the sense of smell as we found out last week; they call me “Larry H. the Stink Smeller from Sugar Land.”

I’m not bragging; I’m just trying to remind you of the facts.

Speaking of smells; let me tell you a story about my 1:00 PM crowd which was very large. So large in fact, that a couple sat down by me. The woman was about to sit by me, but she realized that if she moved over one more seat then she would not have to sit by a single man (Larry H.) and would have a vacant seat to her right. Just about the time she was going to slide into the seat next to me, she made that awkward turn and settled into the adjacent seat thus forcing her beau to sit next to me. Within minutes, she took both of her shoes off and put her bare feet on top of his feet. And dang if he didn’t shortly thereafter take off his

shoes. I can’t make up this stuff.

Then about an hour into the movie, the projectionist hit a “technical diffi culty” so said the manager at the front of the theatre. During this brief in-terlude, the house lights came up and I noticed that this sweet, middle aged, barefoot-ed couple was holding hands. Now let’s recap: a couple is actually sitting next to Larry H. and brushing up against him (a criminal act in itself) and they are half naked and holding hands. Who do they think they are? Daisy and Jethro! They seemed nice enough so I forgave them.

This is an edgy movie and I know because I was on the edge of my seat during the entire fl ick. We all know that Ben Affl eck can produce a be-lievable Boston-based movie (“Good Will Hunting”) but he has created a winner with “The Town” and it will garner awards and accolades. Benny will not have trouble getting fi nancing for his next project. Rock ‘n Roll.Grade 91. Larry H. [email protected]

By BARBARA FULENWIDERThis is the third oppor-

tunity I’ve had to test drive a Mazda3 and it’s as much fun to drive the third time as it was the fi rst. It’s sporty, quick, agile and fast. I fully understand why my 24-year-old nephew had to have one and loves it.

The Mazda3 four and fi ve-door models were redesigned for 2010 so there’s no huge change for 2011 but the Maz-da3 did get improved stan-dard safety technology and more convenience features.

For the 2011 model year the Mazda3 comes with stability control and traction control on all models, power door locks with the auto-lock function added to the i SV and i Sport models, rain-sensing wipers, auto on/off headlights, Bi-Xe-non auto-leveling headlights, adaptive front lighting system and rear LED taillamps op-tional on the Sport models.

Also, a 265-watt Bose Cen-terpoint 19-speaker surround sound audio system with au-diopilot was added as stan-dard and optional equipment,

depending on the model, along with an in-dash six-disc/MP3 compatible CD changer, moonroof with one-touch opening and coolant low tem-perature warning light.

The Mazda3 was launched in 2003 and is far and away Mazda’s best selling vehicle. One in every three Mazdas sold worldwide is a Mazda3.

Here are two reasons why: The front-wheel drive Maz-da3 is powered by either a 148-horsepower 2.0-liter or a 167 horsepower 2.5-liter, dual overhead-cam, 16 valve

four cylinder engine. The test drive was the latter, thank you very much. The larger engine makes 168 lb.-ft. torque. Each engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission that is silky smooth. Gas mile-age is estimated to be 20 miles to the gallon in city driving and 28 on the highway with the 2.5-liter motor.

For a compact vehicle, the Mazda3 provides a good ride with low noise levels, a super sound system, a roomy inte-rior, excellent handling and miles of fun.

It retails for $19,685 and standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, rear window defogger and wiper, variable-intermittent front wipers, rear liftgate and roof spoiler, roof-mounted anten-na, fi ve-passenger seating, tilt/telescopic steering column, leather wrapped shift knob and steering wheel with au-dio and cruise controls, power windows and door locks.

Also, air conditioning, elec-troluminescent gauges, rear armrest with cupholders, anti-lock brake system with brake assist, four-wheel disc brakes, electronic power assisted rack and pinion steering, indepen-dent front and rear suspen-sion, front and rear stabilizer bars, fog lights, dual exhaust outlets, 60/40 split rear seat, multi-information display and anti-theft engine immobilizer.

With optional equipment the sticker price was $21,560. If I were in the market for a fast, fun runabout at a fair price for the equipment, the Mazda3 would be sitting in my garage.

FILM REVIEW: THE TOWN

Help prevent prescription drug abuse and protect public wa-ter supplies and landfi lls by taking advantage of Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on Sept. 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Mercer Stadium, 16403 Lexington Blvd.

The Sugar Land Police Department is partnering with the Drug Enforcement Administration and agencies across the country in the fi rst-ever event.

The DEA will collect potentially dangerous, expired, un-used and unwanted prescription drugs for destruction at sites nationwide on Sept. 25. The service is free and anonymous -- no questions asked.

Many people are not aware that medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the United States are increasing at alarming rates, as are the number of acci-dental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, many Americans do not know how to properly dispose of their unused medicine, often fl ushing them down the toilet or throwing them away – both potential safety and health hazards.

“Working together with our state and local partners, the medical community, anti-drug coalitions, and a concerned public, we will eliminate a major source of abused prescrip-tion drugs, and reduce the hazard they pose to our families and communities in a safe, legal and environmentally sound way,” said Michele M. Leonhart, acting administrator of the DEA.

Prescription drug abuse is one of the nation’s fastest-grow-ing drug problems.

“Take-back events like this one are an indispensable tool for reducing the threat that the diversion and abuse of these drugs pose to public health,” said Director of National Drug Control Policy Gil Kerlikowske.

“The federal, state and local collaboration represented in this initiative is key in our national efforts to reduce pharma-ceutical drug diversion and abuse.”

Collection sites in every local community can be found by going to www.dea.gov. This site will be continuously updated with new take-back locations.

Enjoy your Sport - Decrease your Chances of Getting Hurt

While I enjoy doing surgery, I have always believed the best approach to Sports Medicine is teaching my patients how to take care of themselves so they are less likely to get hurt in the first place. Why have surgery if you can avoid it?

The off-season is the time to prepare, and one size does not fit all. Let me evaluate your current physical conditioning and workout routine to help you develop a personalized training program to maximize your fitness for your sport.

Not just oil, Pennzoil

Methodist Orthopaedic Spe-cialists of Texas (MOST) along with Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, is now the offi cial health care sponsor for Fort Bend GridIron Football, a new competitive tackle league for youngsters ages 7-12.

Fort Bend GridIron League and its parent organization, Fort Bend Youth Sports Association (FBYSA), were founded by former Texas A&M and Hous-ton Oiler quarterback Bucky Richardson. The league is designed to teach proper foot-ball fundamentals in a positive, community-based environment and is affi liated with USA Foot-ball, the offi cial youth football organization for the NFL and the NFL Players Association.

“Methodist Orthopedic Spe-cialists of Texas has a long his-

tory of being deeply involved in supporting youth sports and keeping young athletes healthy, fi t and in the game,” said Chris Siebenaler, CEO of Method-ist Sugar Land Hospital. “Our partnership with Fort Bend GridIron Football aligns our physicians and sports medi-cine specialists with a league that we know will thrive in our community, making it possible for even more athletes to enjoy a positive sports experience.”

As part of the premium spon-sorship agreement, physicians, athletic trainers and physi-cal therapists from Method-ist Orthopaedic Specialists of Texas will be part of a FBYSA medical advisory team, pro-viding in-depth expertise and assistance to players and their families. During the football

season, MOST will also staff two weekly walk-in sports medicine clinics for FBYSA athletes, including its Saturday morning clinic at the MOST fa-cility that is open from August through November.

In addition, FBYSA athletes, parents, administrators and coaches will receive VIP ser-vices at Methodist Sugar Land Hospital’s emergency, imaging and surgical departments via the MSLH Sports VIP Platinum Card. And players can receive same-day appoints at Method-ist Orthopaedic Specialists of Texas and Methodist Family Medicine Group by scheduling through an assigned outreach coordinator.

“As a former college and professional football player, I believe strongly in the valuable

role that sports medicine plays in keeping athletes healthy on and off the fi eld,” said Richard-son.

“To me, the most important component of our partnership with Methodist Orthopaedic Specialists of Texas is the ac-cess that our players will have to the expertise, technology and health care services of the Methodist organization.”
