The only member who vot- ed for the elimination of the red light camera program was D.V. Kumar. The city failed to present data that would show that red light cameras reduced accidents at intersections, Ku- mar said. The burden was on the city police department to prove that the red light cameras resulted in fewer accidents, he said. There have been reductions in accidents in the red light camera intersections, and that could be not due to red light cameras, and not attributable to RLCs. Also, crashes that oc- curred in an intersection even when someone ran a red light could be due to other factors such as driver’s impairment. The city should have had a control site and provided statis- tics before and after the instal- lation of red light cameras. In the absence of such evidence, the main reason, namely reduc- tion in accidents, is not estab- lished and consequently, the red light cameras should be eliminated, Kumar said. Almost everybody on the committee agreed that there was no conclusive evidence to show that Red Light Cameras reduced accidents, but they be- lieved the police department’s claim that it improved public safety and it is an effective tool. The committee members believed the submission by the police department that red light cameras changed driver behav- ior and it freed a police officer from physically monitoring traffic and use the resource for crime prevention elsewhere. One member said it is worth having red light cameras if it saves even one life. Then, the committee voted on possible modifications to the program, 7 to 3. There was no consensus on specific modi- fications, but the committee could broadly suggest modifi- cations in the area of signage, yellow light duration, wordings in the ticket and fine amount for turning right on red without a stop. One member asked about the possibility of placing the issue on a referendum. The member asked why the initial petition was rejected by the city. No one seemed to know the reason. The committee chair said that was not relevant to the task on hand and the committee need not worry about what had hap- pened in the past. The reason was well publi- cized and is also posted on the city website. (No one from the city pres- ent at the meeting offered to explain the reason the citizens’ petition was rejected, ostensi- bly because the committee was “independent” and the city did not want to appear to be offer- ing any information without being asked by the committee.) The petition, submitted in April, included the required number of signatures; however, the signatures were not collect- ed in the manner specified by the City Charter, a document that was reviewed and updated by Sugar Land voters in 2011.

Van der Grinten, founder, Houston Coalition Against Red Light Cameras, who led the unsuccessful peti- tion drive, described the report of the task force as a “small gain.” “We won’t rest until we have an outright ban on red light cameras, or a public vote on their continued use,” Van der Grinten said. “The task force declined to involve itself in the ongoing controversy regarding the re- jection of our valid petition to put the question of continuing the RLC program on the ballot for an up or down vote by the citizens of Sugar Land. But, we urge the city to immediately adopt all of the recommenda- tions especially extending the yellow light change interval by a significant amount and great- ly reducing the fine for an im- proper right turn on red,” Van der Grinten said.

On Friday, Dec. 6 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., Missouri City will be hosting its 30th annual Snowfest Festival in the City Hall Com-plex for citizens looking for a fun and exciting way to kick off the holiday season.
After more than 6,000 area residents fl ocked to City Hall for last year’s Snowfest, City Staff designed this year’s festival to include more games, more food vendors, more giveaways and more entertainment. And, the Snowfest snow hill, one of the event’s most popular attractions, will have three lanes instead of two to accommodate more people.
Missouri City Mayor Allen Owen will kick off the event’s tree lighting ceremony and fi reworks show, and afterward, visitors will be treated to moonwalks, food vendors and trucks, a bicycle raffl e and a video game station.
Booths from local organizations will also be hosted through-out the event, including a 4-H Ornament Decorating Station and a Missouri City Green craft booth.
The Missouri City Library Parking Lot will also be converted into an area for children 7 and under with age-appropriate ac-tivities, including a smaller moonwalk, balloon artists and elf face painters. Visitors of all ages are welcome to get their picture taken with Santa and several of his reindeer.
To help area families in need, Staff will be collecting un-wrapped toy donations under the holiday tree throughout the evening as well. Each individual who donates a toy will receive an additional ticket for the bicycle raffl e.
Limited parking is available at the festival site at 1522 Texas Pkwy.; and guests may also park at Thurgood Marshall High School, 1220 Buffalo Run Blvd. Free event shuttle service will be available from the high school.
The fun will continue the next morning at 9 a.m. with the an-nual Snowfest Parade, which begins at Public Safety headquar-ters at the corner of Cartwright and Murphy Roads. To submit a parade entry, visit the City website: www.missouricitytx.gov.

Brian Reichardt, the Head Scout Master was very efficient in making sure all the calendars were delivered by the boys in uniform. The kind donation from Peoples Properties will help the boys go on their big trip planned for 2014. Great idea to help the Boy Scouts instead of using the Post Offi ce.

By BARBARA J. CARLSONObamacare, mental illness
and the destruction of the fam-ily unit are seriously growing issues.
Our most corrupt and fi s-cally irresponsible Con-gress—right alongside this administration—are guilty of our country’s historic, fraudu-lent and costliest Big Brother scams what is coined “Obam-acare.”
Our Constitution doesn’t authorize what I’ll label as “selective legislation” wheth-er it’s passed by Congress or Executive Order. Every single incumbent—made up mostly of attorneys—knows this and knows that they are violating our Constitution by exempting themselves and selective busi-nesses while infl icting costly discriminatory monetary dis-parity.
It is time that we demand that our incumbents opt out of their cushy unconstitutional federal medical plans because of their violation of the oath of offi ce. Both sides of the aisle threw us into this boiling pot, not performing due diligence in reading this atrocity and now we are penalized for their incompetence. Washington’s attorneys would have failed law school if they had offered up a 2,400-page case “brief” with an additional 20,000-page discombobulated, con-glomerate mush.
Without our consent, Big Brother has now greatly ex-panded its “excusable” power in information gathering of our personal/fi nancial data un-der Obamacare while increas-ing identity theft and stone-walling the family.
HIPPA has handcuffed the family from successfully ad-dressing mental illness (and while in crisis mode) while granting further government authorization into our pri-vate lives while Congres-sional incumbents claim that Big Brother’s watchful eye is “necessary for our safety in
fi ghting terrorism and avoid-ing another 911.”
Unlike any other illness, disease or emergency, mental illness continues to be gross-ly mishandled. After a 911 call for any other emergency, fi rst responders immediately transport the injured/ill to a hospital. When a 911 call is responded to when mental ill-ness is noted, the police need to arrive fi rst and oftentimes the family is put through a rig-orous legal process.
Mental illness currently carries more than 80 diagno-ses—one as commonplace as anxiety.
If one has lost his/her pri-vate insurance because of mental illness, then the patient must be transported to Austin State Hospital if Texana is un-able to handle this growing crisis alone.
Family members have begged for police assistance to simply follow them safely across the county line to get a loved one to a nearby Har-ris County hospital open bed but must be denied—a cross-county partnership that we desperately need in place if we don’t expand space within our county.
We can form global busi-ness partnerships but we can’t help our loved ones become healthier and stable on a local scale?
Even worse, patients must be transported via the Consta-
ble from Fort Bend to Austin State Hospital, but then it is the family’s sole responsibility to pick up the loved one only a few days later when they’re “okay to go home”—which often is too early (sometimes dangerous) and then the cycle repeats or escalates. Fort Bend County is desperately in need of more hospital beds and more after care facilities be-fore patients return home.
This is why we have so many homeless across the na-tion—because families have been road blocked, critical in-formation is withheld, patients have lost their medical cov-erage and then prematurely released making it unsafe to return home
The Left has relentlessly worked on destroying the family unit while claiming they support it, now garner-ing successful results in Cali-fornia and Colorado with not only the legalization of “medical” marijuana but also the ability to legally purchase marijuana—the gateway drug that can cause episodic psy-chotic breaks and even lead to schizophrenia with people with even slight mental illness tendencies.
The mentally ill will con-tinue to lose critical medical coverage under Obamacare, mass shootings will continue while Congress remains com-fortably removed because they are 70% exempt because their/staff’s salaries (more than $170K) couldn’t afford this atrocity all while the NRA will again be blamed by the Left.
Our Constitution is the best model for freedom, opportuni-ty and limiting Big Brother’s chokehold. We’ve allowed corruption to run rampant and have strayed dangerously far…and no, we all didn’t de-serve what we got.
Pursuant to a resolution of its governing body under Section 34.05(c), Property Tax Code, Fort Bend County has requested a public re-sale by my office of certain properties previously foreclosed and bid off to the taxing units in the suits described below.

Carolyn Bowden is on vacation and her column “Around the Neighborhood” will resume on Dec. 4.
By BASIL HOUSEWRIGHT, JR.If you are involved in an
automobile accident and the damages are substantial but not enough to total your vehi-cle then the insurance compa-ny, which is liable, will repair your car. Even though repairs are made the vehicle may not be worth as much now for a trade or out-right sale to anoth-er because it has been involved in a wreck and this should be disclosed at time of sale and is also available via vehicle his-tory reports such as CarFax®. The decrease in value is called “diminished value.” Many have alleged the insurance company should also be liable for this diminished value in addition to the repairs.
Based on the unambiguous Auto Insurance Policy lan-guage and the overwhelming trend refl ected in numerous court decisions around the nation that diminished value is not recoverable under auto insurance policies limiting in-surer liability to the cost of re-pairs, the diminished value of autos is not covered. The Tex-as Department of Insurance (TDI) reviews the specifi c pol-icy forms used by Insurance Companies providing automo-bile insurance in the state. In 2000, the department issued a bulletin stating that an “insurer
is not obligated to pay a fi rst party claimant for diminished value when an automobile is completely repaired to its pre-damaged condition. The lan-guage of the insurance policy does not require payment for, or refer to, diminished value.”
Within the last few years there have been numerous court decisions supporting in-surers on the issue of dimin-ished value. State supreme and appellate courts in Maine, Delaware, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Texas and Wisconsin have recently addressed the issue and ruled that diminished value is not re-coverable.
Many may say this is not fair but auto insurance policies, like all insurance policies, are contracts. If the contract does not address or cover the specif-ic issue then it may be open to
interpretation and this is what the courts have done and over-whelmingly ruled diminished value is not covered under the auto insurance contract. If you are in a situation where you feel your vehicle has a diminished value due to it be-ing involved in an accident of which the other party was at fault, you will most likely not be compensated for this di-minished value from the other party’s auto insurance compa-ny. Fighting over diminished value with the auto insurance company will most likely be a waste of your time also. You always have recourse of de-manding the other party pay you directly for your dimin-ished value and could even take it to small claims court but you will be on your own in this endeavor. Auto insur-ance policies were not meant to cover diminished value. The actual cost to repair or replace with like kind or quality is the coverage provided by the auto insurance policy.

I’m starting to write this re-view only minutes after watch-ing the Houston Texas lose for the eighth time in a row; this time to the Oakland Raid-ers. Will I ever learn? Please Lord, let us end this season and move on to the Houston Rockets. Can I get an Amen?
“Dallas Buyers Club” is a tribute to Matthew McCo-naughey’s portrayal of Ron Woodroof who was diagnosed with HIV+ in the 1980’s. That was a time when such a di-agnosis was one part death sentence and one part social pariah. Woodroof was a hard drinker, smoker, and cocaine user. And a tough cowboy who had the guts to participate in rodeo bull riding. His fi rst reaction to the diagnosis was denial because only “faggots” had HIV and he was too much
of a lady’s man.Woodroof’s friends ex-
cluded him, his health rapidly deteriorated, and his world came crashing down. Pretty Boy McConaughey lost a lot of weight for this part. I was mesmerized by his body lan-guage and mannerisms in his interpretation of the troubled and complicated Woodroof. When McConaughey was on the screen, which is almost every scene, I found myself captivated by his performance which was a huge stretch from the idealist young lawyer (Jake Brigance) in “A Time to Kill” (1996). This is a part for a big boy and McConaughey, at age 44, shows that he is ready for the big time. Will he earn a nomination? He’s got a shot.
Much of the story derives from the 1980’s controversy of the FDA’s involvement in drugs such as AZT for use in combatting HIV which is the pre-cursor to AIDS. Ron Woodroof overcame his de-nial stage and went to work researching his medical op-tions. There were not many in the United States. As an au-dience, we take the trip with Woodroof to Mexico and his
ongoing fi ght with the Feds for possession and the sale of illegal medicine to his fel-low HIV/AIDS patients. This script understood the plight of these people who were des-perate for a cure and were willing to stand in line at a seedy hotel to buy the needed drugs. Most of this movie is sad and depressing, but very well done.
I’ve written enough about my admiration of McCo-naughey, but Jared Leto was also outstanding as Rayon, the transgender activist who helped the bull rider cope with reality and run his drug opera-tion affectionately known as the Dallas Buyers Club. Jen-nifer Garner, as Dr. Eve Saks, was perfectly cast and demon-strated her ability to deliver in a part that did not emphasize her cutie sex appeal. There are a lot of great movies com-ing our way during the holi-day season which is extremely exciting, so choose wisely, as you probably have not yet seen the Best Picture or Best Actor/Actress. I’ll keep you posted. Rock ‘n Roll.
