GOMO exclusivity period extended to Dec. 20 By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com When the end of 2018 comes upon us, it appears as though the saga of the Garden Oaks Maintenance Organization’s (GOMO) bankruptcy proceedings will remain ongoing, as the process appears to have been extended through close to Christmas time. During a status hearing in a downtown Houston courthouse Oct. 25, GOMO counsel Johnie Patterson presented a plan of reorganization that, if approved, GOMO believes would

GOMO counsel Johnie Patterson presented a plan that, if approved, GOMO believes would result in curing the formation defect currently present in GOMO result in an order from the court effectively curing the formation defect currently present in GOMO, and rep-

resenting that certain bylaw and deed restriction changes be pursued after the plan is confirmed. This runs in

opposition to the Creditors’ Committee’s thoughts to essentially hit the reset button and form an entirely new entity. Judge David Jones, however, spoke several times on his disapproval of any plan that includes transfer fees as a means of funding any activities from a homeowner’s association. The Court later determined that GOMO must prepare and present an alternative disclosure statement and plan by Dec. 20 – one without transfer fees as a crucial tent pole. See GOMO P. 4A

It was a day to remember last Saturday at the Festival of Abilities at Oak Forest Park, both because of the record crowd but also because of the announcement from District C’s Council Member and Houston’s Mayor Pro Tem Ellen Cohen that she had authorized a $150,000 allocation from her Council District Service Fund (CDSF) for the Playground for All Abilities at the park. Each district council member has a CDSF, which is a discretionary account, to utilize for small-scale localized projects in their districts. “I am pleased to share my strong support for the Friends of Oak Forest Park,” said Cohen. On hand with Cohen for the announcement were Mayor Sylvester Turner, Commissioner Jack R. Cagle, Harris County Precinct 4, Maria

During the last midterm election cycle, very little intrigue accompanied the races, with many landslides depleting voter interest. But fast forward four years later, and several contentious races appear to have piqued interest of voters around the county, state, and local neighborhoods. Both Republicans and Democrats have placed a multitude of propositions that will appear on residents’ ballots for consideration in Harris County. Meanwhile, Leader-area House District 2 looks to be a coin flip between Democratic candidate Todd Litton – who held off four challengers in March primaries – and Republican Dan Crenshaw, who emerged from a crowded nine-member primary field for the seat previously filled by Ted Poe. Additionally, incumbent Senator Ted Cruz will look to hold off a strong charge from Beto O’Rourke, while sitting Governor Greg Abbott looks to take down Lupe Valdez. Though prefacing the statement by reiterating that 2014 was a very bad year for turnout in Texas -- thus necessitating approaching 2018 from a low point – Rice University Political Science professor Mark Jones believes early voter turnout in Texas and Harris County should approach a typical presidential election year as opposed to typical midterm year when all is said and done. As of publication, nearly 15,000 had turned out to cast an early ballot at the SPJST Lodge off Beall Street, while nearly 550,000 have made their voice heard in Harris County according to records from the County Clerk’s office.

Residents sound off at Desoto batch plant meeting By Landan Kuhlmann landan@theleadernews.com Last Monday, Oct. 22, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) held a public gathering for feedback on the re-application of Soto Ready Mix, Inc.’s air quality permit for operation of a local concrete batch plant. The new permit, if approved, would allow Soto Ready Mix, Inc., to operate the same type of facility at the same location (Desoto Street) as the previous application, which was struck down this past April. Soto’s previous application was voided earlier this year due to the lack of a 100-foot setback required

“This is not us trying to be unreasonable, but expressing valid concerns about what is happening where we live.” Joel Dempsey, resident

at various points on the property. In the process of re-application, Soto has purchased additional land to compensate and meet the setback requirement.

Residents reiterated their concerns and aired their grievances – such as air pollution, constant noise, harmful runoff – during a sometimes vociferous public comment period

which lasted more than an hour. “This is not us trying to be unreasonable, but expressing valid concerns about what is happening where we live,” resident Joel Dempsey said. “If something goes wrong here and these fears do become reality, we’re the ones who will pay the price – we should not have to do that when there are valid reports out there on the risks of this batch plant.” “There are so many other places they could go nearby – so why don’t they? I’m disconcerted, and I don’t believe I’ve heard answers that make me feel comfortable,” Vicky Garcia added. See Desoto P. 4A

Our family is moving, and Arthur can help

y wife and I are moving. Not far, but far enough that we need a truck and boxes and a phone call with “Arthur,” who lives in a place where English is the third language and whose name, I’m quite certain, is not Arthur. Arthur works for the company that controls my life, and I need him to move my cable and internet service to a new location. “Absolutely Mr. Jonathan. I can most definitely help you with that today,” he says between bites of naan. “May I ask you one question? Why do you still have cable?” That’s none of Arthur’s business, but I have my reasons. One of these days, cable will be priced like land lines. It will be an add-on for $5 a month, and I’m holding out for the price break. “May I please put you on hold for just one moment?” Arthur asks. This happens almost immediately, and I’m not sure why. He presses five buttons on his land line, then he stands up in his call center, points to his head set, and tells his colleagues he has a sucker on the line. During my four minutes on hold, I’m given a speech by the looped

Jonathan McElvy Publisher

voice. “Thank you for calling AT&T,” the boastful robot says. “You are now part of the AT&T Thanks Program.” Well isn’t that great? I’m part of a program! Then I’m told that I really don’t need to be making calls to another country to have my cable and internet moved. “Did you know you can schedule your move directly on our web…” In mid-sentence, Arthur reappears. “Don’t listen to that nonsense,” he says. “I’m so sorry to put you on hold, Mr. Jonathan. Our system needed to reboot.” It doesn’t matter which utility you call on which day, the system always needs to reboot. Have you noticed this? Doesn’t matter if you’re booking a flight, changing

your power company or reserving a hotel room. If you’re on the phone with an operator, chances are their computers have a virus on the exact day you call. Next, Arthur tells me he needs just one more piece of information before we can make any changes. I expect him to ask for my date of birth or the last four of my social security number, both of which I can readily recite. “Mr. Jonathan, can you give me the 4-digit security code associated with this account?” The what? I set up my account 13 years ago and not once have I been asked for a 4-digit security code. I have 50 of them. I clear that land mine, and we’re off. “Now, what can I do for you today, Mr. Jonathan?” I want to move, Arthur. I’ve told you this. Except I want to negotiate this deal. I’m looking to reduce the $21,000 per month I spend just to watch college football. I tell him I’m very close to moving to a streaming service, because for what I pay his company, I can buy 50-yard-line tickets to every game I want to see and still buy a nice, used car.

“Absolutely, I can do that for you,” Arthur answers. “We are very thankful you’ve agreed to keep useless cable.” I also want faster internet speeds, Arthur. “Of course, Mr. Jonathan. I can double your speed for no additional charge,” he says. “I also have some wonderful news for you today, Mr. Jonathan. Because you pay $6,000 a month for our service protection plan, there will be absolutely no charge for us to move your service. May I put you on hold?” The robot again congratulates

me on my induction into the AT&T Thanks Program, and four minutes later, Arthur returns to, again, apologize for his slow system, though he does have even more wonderful news for me. “Mr. Jonathan, you are going to be very excited today,” he brims. “I have all of your services changed, I have reduced your monthly bill by 47 cents, you will get all your sports channels, and I have increased your internet speed. And you may not know this, but we’re going to be able to move your service for no charge.” Arthur and I spent 38 minutes on the phone together, and in one week, I will have internet and useless cable at our new home. Meanwhile, my family and I still have one week left in our old house. When I got home after talking to Arthur, I turned on the TV, flipped to my favorite sports channel, and, you guessed it, I no longer receive that channel in my new cable package. In fact, all of my sports programming is gone. Must be part of the Thank You Program. Email jmcelvy@thegreensheet.com

A look back at some colorful Lone Star senators THE TV – “What a race they have down in Texas. Ted Cruz is fighting for his political life against a Congressman from El Paso, Beto O’Rourke, in what could be…..” The national news media (“Enemy of the American people!”), has suddenly discovered that Texas has an interesting election. I, personally, don’t think Beto will win, but what do I know? I picked Poland over Germany. If Beto does become our newest U.S. senator, he will follow some of our more colorful characters who made history long before they went to Washington. So let’s take a look at a few of our Lone Star senators. Four of them became senators after serving as governor. Sam Houston and Price Daniel went the other way: serving as senators before becoming governor. Only six were non-lawyers. John Morris Sheppard served the longest: 28 years. Four died in office. Thomas Jefferson Rusk shot himself. His successor, J. Pinckney Henderson, died after serving only six months. John Tower, at 35, was the youngest to serve. One governor, James

THE READER.

Lynn Ashby Columnist

Flanagan, was married three times and fathered 11children. Texas, as usual, does things differently. In the case of our U.S. Senators, we have two distinct lines of succession, the Rusk Line and the Houston Line, named for the first two to serve in those slots. John Cornyn holds the Houston Line of succession, Cruz holds the Rusk Line. A bit of background: When Texas entered the Union in 1845, we got two U.S. Senators to serve staggered terms so that both would not come up for election or re-election at the same time. After being sworn in, the two drew lots. Houston got the two-year term, Rusk got the full six years. Rusk doesn’t get enough attention. He fought at San Jacinto, held every office

in the Republic of Texas, and was Houston’s drinking buddy. As a senator, Houston would sit at his desk listening to the debates. Eventually, he would take out a knife and start whittling on a wooden stick. The faster and more furious the debates raged, the faster Houston would whittle. By the time the day was over, the janitors would have to come in and sweep up a pile of wood shavings. In a nod to history, in 1941, Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel appointed Houston’s son, Andrew Jackson Houston, to a vacant Senate seat. He was 87, the oldest man ever to enter the Senate. Unfortunately, A.J. died 24 days later, but it was a nice gesture. South Carolinian Louis Trezevant Wigfall was an excellent shot and liked to duel. He killed Thomas Bird, then got shot through both thighs by Preston Brooks. Wigfall’s law practice suffered, so he came to Texas. Oran Roberts was a colonel in the Confederate infantry. Later he taught law at The University of Texas, but never was worthy of a statue to topple. John Reagan arrived in Texas with

$10 in his pocket. He became an Indian fighter, lawyer and eventually ended up as Postmaster General of the Confederacy. After the Civil War, he was treated as a war criminal – you know how mean those postal clerks can be -- and was sent to a prison in Boston Harbor. Today schools named for Reagan are being renamed. Now here’s an odd item: Roger Mills, a senator beginning in 1892, has a county named for him -- in Oklahoma. I have no idea why. Rienzi Johnston was called “Colonel” although he only served as a drummer boy in the Confederate Army. How did he get promoted? He became editor of The Houston Post, and must have originated fake news. The aforementioned John Morris Sheppard has the distinction of being “the father of Prohibition.” He was co-sponsor and chief ramrod of the 18th Amendment which outlawed liquor. Who voted for this guy? Incidentally, much of this material comes from an excellent book on the subject, “Texas Senators,” by June Rayfield Welch. My copy only goes to Lloyd Bentsen

and John Tower. Moving on, Gov. O’Daniel kept his seat as governor and ran for the senate. He was the only governor who could not vote for himself, having refused to pay the required poll tax. He had gained fame as a salesman for Light Crust Flour, and to push his product, O’Daniel hired a country and western band led by a little-known musician, Bob Wills. The Light Crust Doughboys – later the Hillbilly Boys -- were a big hit on the radio, and ODaniel turned that celebrity status into the governorship. He was ineffective both as a governor and as a senator. You might say that O’Daniel put the goober in gubernatorial. We must remember that until 1913 and the adoption of the Seventeenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, senators were chosen by the state legislature. The first popularly elected Texas senator was John Morris Sheppard. In more recent times, John Tower, who took office in 1961, was the first Republican Texas senator since the days of Reconstruction. In 1993 Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison

became the first woman from Texas elected to the Senate. Thus far our first and only foreign-born senator is Ted Cruz who, until it was made public during his first race for the Senate, Cruz maintained dual citizenship in both the U.S. and Canada. Indeed, Cruz could just as easily run for a seat in the Canadian Parliament. Undoubtedly the most powerful senator from Texas was a former Houston school teacher, Lyndon Baines Johnson of – appropriately enough – Johnson City. When Price Daniel resigned to run for governor, William A. Blakley was appointed to the job. There was a story of a young elevator operator in the Senate Office Building opening the door for the brandnew Blakley who was dressed in Texan gear. The young man asked, “Which floor, cowboy?” Blakley replied, “That’s SENATOR Cowboy, and you’re fired.” So if Beto wins, he should remember to take along to Washington his whittlin’ knife, dueling pistol and dress like a Texan.

Running for Cover

Dear Editor: As one of a very few in the middle politically, I hearby endorse the “Dead Armadillo Party.” Lynn Ashby’s “Running for Cover” nailed it! Scott Grover

There are only losers in Prop B measure

Dear Editor: Good article…..if you think at all you can trust Lying Turner at all. Turner worked Austin before being mayor, he knows the system, Turner and his minions are robbing the city coffers left and right. And those before him, and those after him will if we don’t stop them. A 900 million dollar tax fee was created 8 years ago to help with flooding, and that money was not used to fix any flooding. He lied about it the other day when Ted Oberg got him in a corner about it, Ted was holding the documents showing the money collected and then it went to another fund, and another one, and it isn’t still yet clear what happened to that 900 million dollars. The firefighter got a very very very bad deal, and it set a precedent that if it isn’t fixed it will trickle down to others that were privately managed properly like HFD was.Turner robbed HFD legally using Austin, and he is a master manipulator by bringing HPD and MUNI into the picture, pitting departments against each other, when he is the thief. Paul Crowson Dear Editor: HFD DID negotiate with previous Mayor to forego higher salaries to keep their pension benefits intact. HPD and Muni took higher salaries over funding their retirement. At this time that was the offer. You couldn’t have both. Fast forward to today, Turner goes to the legislature to obtain control over HFD’s pension fund, striping away benefits the HFD negotiated for over higher salaries HPD and Muni took. HFD pension fund’s unfunded liability was only 18% of the Houston’s total pension obligation. The Houston municipality employees and HPD pension funds made up 82% of the unfunded liability. The city uses the HFD 89.9% funded pension fund to prop up the massively underfunded HPD, Muni pension funds. Plus the Pension Obligation Bond for $1 billion: $750M for HPD pension fund; $250M for HMEP pension fund; $ZERO to HFD pension fund. I could go on and on setting the records straight of the untruths, inaccuracies and down right lies told to the public by Turner and his supporters. Firefighters negotiated in good faith. Gave up better salaries to have a better funded pension. HPD and Muni wanted better salaries and gave up their better pension benefits. So either bring the HFD pay scale up to HPD’s equivalents or bring the HPD pay scale down to HFD’s equivalents. You can’t have it all one way. HFD Firefighters = lower salaries and stripped of pension benefits to shore up HPD/Muni. Penalized for being financially responsible for their retirees. HPD Police/Muni = higher salaries and a pension fund shored up by HFD and POB so they have the funds for retirees. Rewarded for choosing higher salaries over funding their pension fund. And don’t ask how’s the city going to pay for it. The funds are there. Dave Martin found over $300 million by naming unused funds in accounts no longer in use. It’s there. Brenda Tortorice

Neighbors: St. Ambrose Catholic Church Sisters celebrate 50 years By Elizabeth Villarreal elizasgarden@outlook.com

Sr. Barbara Tovar is a member of the Missionary Catechists of Divine Providence that was founded in 1930 in Houston, Texas to serve the spiritual and catechetical needs of the growing community of Hispanics in Texas. They were the first religious congregation established to serve the needs of the Hispanic community population and continue to serve in religious formation ministry, in social service, and in diocesan and parish leadership positions in the Southwestern United States. Sister Barbara has served in parishes as a DRE and as Pastoral Associate; as Diocesan Director of Religious Formation in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, and as Faculty member of St. Mary’s Seminary and UST School of Theology in Houston. At present she serves as Pastoral Associate at St. Ambrose Catholic Church. Sr. Charline Schlebach is a native Houstonian and member of the Sisters of the

Incarnate Word and Blessed Sacrament. Her present ministry is at St. Ambrose Catholic Church ministering to the sick, homebound, and bereaved. She has served her congregation as a Council member and personnel director. “I have been blessed with many gifts and feel a strong sense of responsibility to use and develop these so that I can witness to the Gospel message.” Sister Charline taught at the following schools: St. Joseph’s School in Baytown; St. Cecilia’s School in Houston; Holy Name School in Houston; and St. Theresa in Houston. She served as principal at Holy Name School for eight years. St. Ambrose Parish Community will honor their sisters at a 50th Jubiliee Reception on Nov. 11, in the parish auditorium. Happy, happy birthday to Lucille Lindow, our neighbor in Brookwoods Estates, who celebrated her 90th birthday on Oct. 30. Friends and family send you birthday wishes full of love, sunshine and joy on your special day. Great news coming from Lutheran High North! The Lions’ Marching Band had an

exciting last two weekends competing across the state. On Monday, Oct. 22, the Lions were in Waco competing in the TAPPS Fall Marching competition and came away from the contest with a Superior rating as well as receiving the top award, Best in Class. The Band then traveled to Dallas on Saturday, Oct. 26, to compete in the Texas Private School’s Music Educators Association (TPSMEA) marching contest. They came away from that competition with another Superior rating. The Band’s show this year was entitled “Mission: Beyond” and was written by Luke McMillan. Band directors are Laura Molitor and Zac Brumbaugh. Drum Majors are Jordan Killinger, a Senior, and Emily Cherington, a Junior. The Band’s last performance will be on Friday, Nov. 2, at the Lutheran High North Senior Night football game against Pasadena First Baptist. The game starts at 7 p.m. on LHN’s football field at its campus located at 1130 W. 34th St. The community is invited to come out and see the Marching Lions perform. Go Lions!

Primaries from P. 1A That mark already surpasses the early voter turnout from the last midterm cycle in 2014, and is more than halfway to the 2016 presidential election year mark of nearly 954,000, per records from the Texas Secretary of State. “We’re not going to see as many turn out as in the 2016 cycle, but it will be closer to that level than a 2014 level. It’s tough to predict actual overall turnout up until after election day,” Jones said. “Because we are seeing a turnout more comparable to presidential election periods, it’s much more likely we’ll see election day turnout more comparable to those years – meaning a low turnout, with maybe 1 of 4 casting on election day, and vice versa in early voting.” Johnson believes that at the heart of the saturated early voting turnout is simply the increased competitive nature of this cycle’s battles. In his words, none of the 2014 statewide elections were remotely close, and of 36 House races, only one of them was in doubt; only one Texas Senate seat was in doubt, and maybe 5-6 House seats were shrouded in mystery. “One thing that can motivate people to turn out is a belief that their vote will matter; that the outcome of the election has not been predetermined,” he said. “[It was] a pretty meager offering [in 2014].”. Fast forward to 2018, and the U.S. Senate race hasn’t been decided; unlike 2014 when John Cornyn was already essentially set for reelection according to Jones. This year, he said three Houston-area districts are also truly up for grabs that were Republican locks during the previous midterm cycle. CD-7, CD 22, and Leader-area CD 2 (where there lies a race between Dan Crenshaw and Todd Litton) are all shaping up to be heated races. “Just right there, you have a competitive Senate race and three competitive House races, and in 2014 you had none of the above. Plus, in this election, essentially all the county-wide races are in play. It may not be the marquee battle like the Senate or House races, but it’s yet another incentive for people to come out,” Johnson said. “People realize this election matters in the sense that turnout could have a major effect in multiple races, which was not the case back in 2014.” As a reminder, several

races will impact local Leader residents. Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 6. U.S. Representative – District 18 Once again, incumbent Sheila Jackson Lee will have to fight off some game challengers to retain her seat and serve her 13th term in the 18th District, which serves much of inner city Houston and the surrounding area. Republican Ava Pate, along with Libertarian Luke Spencer and Independent Vince Duncan, will be fighting to unseat Jackson-Lee while making some history – the 18th Congressional District has not been represented by a non-Democrat in nearly five decades. U.S. Representative – District 2 This seat immediately became a hot commodity early in 2018, when long-standing representative Ted Poe announced he would not seek re-election. In all, 14 candidates filed for the primaries and there are four left standing on November’s ballots. Democrat Todd Litton and Republican Dan Crenshaw won their respective party primaries in February for spots on the ballot, and they will be challenged by Libertarian Patrick Gunells and Independent candidate Scott Cubler for the seat. County Commissioner, Precinct 4 Incumbent Jack Cagle will run for re-election as Precinct 4’s County Commissioner, which envelops many of our local neighborhoods north of the 610 Loops. Cagle has served in the position since 2011, and is seeking his third term after winning the seat in both 2010 and 2014. His challenger – Democrat Penny Shaw – has been an attorney for 17 years and was previously a United States Congressional advocate for six years. Governor Incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott is running for re-election to a second term in office and will face Democrat Lupe Valdez, the former Sheriff of Dallas County, as well as Libertarian candidate Mark Tippetts, a former member of the Lago Vista city council. Abbot won the March Republican primaries with 90 percent of the vote, while Valdez won a May 22 runoff against Andrew White. Lieutenant Governor

Sitting Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick was first elected in 2014, and will seek re-election in 2018. He will square off against Democratic candidate Mike Collier along with Libertarian candidate Kerry McKennon after holding off former Rockwall City Council Member Scott Milder in the March primaries. Collier, former founder and CFO of a major Texas oil company, held off a challenge from Michael Cooper. Kerry Douglas McKennon will run as a Libertarian candidate. Harris County Judge By now one of the mostrecognized politicians in the state, incumbent Harris County Judge Ed Emmett (R) is seeking re-election for his third full term as head of the county’s governing body. He was appointed to the position in 2007, filling the remainder of Robert Eckels’ term before winning re-election in both 2010 and 2014. Opposing Emmett in this cycle, and facing an uphill battle in doing so, is Democratic candidate Lina Hidalgo. A Stanford graduate also possessing a joint degree in law and public policy at New York University and Harvard, Hidalgo would be the first woman elected to serve as County Judge. Libertarian candidate Eric Gatlin will also be up for the seat. Attorney General Neither current sitting AG Ken Paxton, running for re-election after winning in 2014, nor Democratic challenger Justin Nelson (a former clerk for both Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Appellate Court Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson) faced a challenger in March primaries, setting the stage for the November clash. U.S. Senator Sitting incumbent Ted Cruz will again look to take the Senator’s seat for the third consecutive election cycle after holding off challenges from Stefano de Stefano, as well as Christian T.V. producer Bruce Jacobsen, former La Marque Mayor Geraldine Sam and Mary Miller in the Republican primaries. On the other side of the aisle, current U.S. Representative Beto O’Rourke will be Cruz’s most prominent challenger for the seat, though Libertarian Neal Dikeman will be vying for the spot as well.

GOMO from P. 1A While it is not required to be a joint plan, Jones requested that Patterson keep Creditor Committee counsel Rubio informed as the plan is prepared, and to consider his input. Jones gave Patterson and GOMO a deadline of Dec. 14 to come up with a preliminary plan to present to the Creditors Committee and Jones himself before the hearing Dec. 20 which would review the aforementioned plan. In essence, that week would be used to decide whether the plan presented would be

viable enough to take out to creditors for a vote, as well as take it out to everyone in the neighborhood. Judge Jones would also test it against several bankruptcy codes. Any transition to a position without a transfer fee would necessitate petitioning the neighborhood for either an amendment to the deed restriction, or one for an entirely new entity. In the meantime, collection of transfer fees remains on hold through the hearing Dec. 20, as the result of a previous hearing Sept. 22.

Parks and Recreation Department – allows the design and construction of the park to be fully accessible and inclusive for kids and parents of all abilities, and to include the rubberized surface for easy wheelchair access. Coming into the festival, Friends of Oak Forest Park had raised over $450,000. Colvard, who had been involved with the city’s Playground Without Limits initiative, said that she knew that they were close to the fundraising goal and it was gratifying to have Cohen’s donation be the one that got them to their goal. Throughout the planning phase, Colvard stressed the need for a rubberized surface at the playground, among other features. “I knew what it felt like as a kid to watch the other kids play when I couldn’t,” said Colvard. “I didn’t want to feel that way again as a parent. Parents with disabilities should be able to play with their kids on our playgrounds.” Colvard remembers going to the first fully inclusive and accessible playground with her daughter at Memorial Park for the first time not long after she was born, and looks forward to having a playground closer to the area for kids and their parents with disabilities to enjoy. She notes that the Oak Forest playground will be the seventh in the City of Houston’s Parks and Recreation Department system and the first in this area. “It is nice to be able to have options and variety in inclusive playgrounds,” said

Colvard. What’s different about Oak Forest’s Playground for All Abilities, according to Colvard, is that it is 100 percent community driven. “Elyssa was all over the project,” said Colvard. “She just picked up the phone and started calling people to build all these partnerships.” For Horvath, the generosity of friends and volunteers has been something she will always be grateful for. FLY Dance Company, directed by Jorge Casco donated their special performance. SIRE (Self-Dependence through Riding Education) which improves the quality of life for people with special needs through therapeutic horsemanship activities brought horses to the event. Autumn Rosemond with

Houston Dance Works did a number of benefits for the playground in the months leading up to the festival. Horvath said that a highlight was the collaboration between Houston Dance Works and Pastor Lindsay Smith with St. Stephen’s United Methodist Church who sang “This Is Me” from The Greatest Showman. “A student and teacher danced to the song which means a lot to me and to a lot of other people,” said Horvath. “It was really special.” Members of The Friends of Oak Forest Park will continue to work with the Parks & Recreation Department and Houston Parks Board as the park takes shape. The playground is scheduled for late 2019 construction.

Desoto from P. 1A However, Soto Ready Mix representatives have insisted that Soto has gone through all the necessary preparations in order to mitigate the risks for the neighborhood, should the plant be approved. They have also previously stated that residents have been belligerent towards Soto as he attempts to register the plant with TCEQ. Mr. Soto spoke through an attorney at last week’s gathering. Attempts to reach Soto’s attorney for comment following the meeting were unsuccessful. The public comment period for the plant ended at the conclusion of the Oct. 22 meeting. TCEQ staff is currently reviewing all of the comments received during the public comment period. The executive director will respond to all comments received during the comment period by filing a formal Response to Comments. More than 60 written requests have been turned in for a contested case hear-

ing on the application. Thus, once the RTC is filed, the Office of the Chief Clerk will schedule all timely hearing requests and any requests for reconsideration to be considered at a scheduled TCEQ public meeting. However, TCEQ officials reiterated that simply a request being filed does not necessitate the granting of one. Should a request for contested case hearing be granted, the commission will specify the number and scope of factual issues to be referred to the State Office of Administrative Hearings and specify the maximum duration of the hearing. “So long as we see you’re willing to reach across the aisle to us, Mr. Soto, we’ll do the same for you,” one resident said. As of publication, a TCEQ spokesperson was unable to confirm any set date for completion of the approval process due to the sheer volume of input.

esterday I had an experience that I won’t soon forget. As a pastor you have the opportunity to meet and help all kinds of different people. A friend of mine asked me to help with a family in his church that needed help loading a moving truck. We loaded some of the nicest and heaviest furniture I had ever seen into the back of a moving truck. This family had Sunday School ........9:15 am Sunday School 9:30am suffered some difficult financial struggles and was being forced Sunday Worship......10:30am Sunday Worship 10:30am to downsize. They had experienced the excitement of having Wednesday Bible Study money and spending money on whatever they wanted and now Wednesday Bible Study & Prayer Service 6:00pm they are experiencing the lows of having to get rid of things and 6:30pm Pastor C. David Harrison downsize. Even in the middle of all of this, I was reminded about th 201201 E. 9E. 9th St St. • 713-861-3102 713-861-3102what is really important in life. Jesus said in Luke 12:15. “A www.fbcheights.org man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which Pastor Larry D. Young he possesseth.” If we are honest, I think we all would admit that Pastor C. David Harrison our stuff is important to us. We like our stuff and many people www.fbcheights.org collect and even hoard stuff. Lots of time, money, and energy is spent to buy stuff, move stuff, and store stuff. Maybe from Sunday Bible Studies For All Ages ... 9:30am time to time we even get to enjoy our stuff. It is important to remember that stuff doesn’t last. When you come to the end of Morning Worship ............... 10:45am your life you will not be able to take your stuff with you. Wednesday Bible Studies For Youth, Children I would like to leave you with this challenge.

Are you spending those things to accumulate, move, and store your stuff 1822 W. 18th • 713-864-1470 or are you spending it on things that really matter.

Dear Tabby, Iâ€™ve heard that pumpkin is good for pets. What are some ways that I can incorporate more pumpkin into my dogâ€™s diet? Healthy Eating in The Heights Dear Healthy Eating, Youâ€™re absolutely correct! Pumpkin is incredibly good for both dogs and cats. High in vitamins and fiber, pumpkin is especially good for your petâ€™s digestive health. According to veterinarians, pureed pumpkin (with no added sugar or spice) can help dogs and cats with both constipation and diarrhea. Adding a tablespoon or two (in proportion to their size) to their regular meal is known to help keep them regular. May Keep UTIâ€™s at Bay Pumpkin is also great for the urinary care of your pets. The oils in pumpkinsâ€™ flesh and seeds are believed to support urinary health. They are also an excellent

Good For Weight Management Lastly, pumpkin is fantastic for weight management in your pets. If you are looking to take a few pounds off of your pooch or kitty, try reducing a portion of their food and replace it with the same portion of canned pumpkin. Their tummy will feel just as full, and they might even thank you for the additional flavor. Homemade pumpkin dog treats are also a fun way to get into the pumpkin season spirit. Here is a favorite recipe for a pumpkin treat that your dog is sure to gobble up:

Art Valet: A Photographer’s Showcase Mitch Cohen Art Columnist

Did you have trouble with wardrobe decisions this week? “Do I need a jacket or shorts tomorrow?” The events calendar is still looking like a decisionmaking nightmare and I’m only talking about art. Thank goodness I only have time to attend my own events, which I’ll tell you about shortly. Let’s start with Saturday, Nov. 10 and work our way back to this Saturday, Nov. 3. Two art photographers, both regular attendees at First Saturday Arts Market and Bayou City Art Festival, have art exhibits on Saturday, Nov. 10. On Saturday, Nov. 10, 3-5 p.m., Urban Eats will host the Cyriaque Milhau and his work. Milhau is fond of saying he’s French by nationality, Texan by choice. Smart man. The engineer has had a passion for photography since he developed his first black and white at 11. Milhau uses technology to go beyond the photograph and turns his subjects into art using everything from his vast collection of camera equipment computer software. My favorites are the mirrored images and circular skylines he manipulates. Still,

Moon at Devils Garden by Tim Herschbach Niven’s Way by Cyriaque Mihau

he’s got to have that photographer’s eye to start with, and he does. “With the orderly eye of an engineer, this brilliant artist shares fluent and eloquent expressions of our great city,” stated owner and culinary director Levi Rollins. “I am excited to share his amazing photography-based art with our guests. Everyone is invited to attend our reception for Cyriaque on Saturday, Nov. 10, and enjoy an afternoon of art, live music and complimentary beer, wine, champagne and hors d’oeuvres. For more information about Urban Eats, visit www.feasturbaneats. com or call 832-834-4417.

Free meal for voters Zarah Parker Managing Editor

The no-rush, no-fuss neighborhood spot, The Classic All Day, 5922 Washington Avenue, is showing appreciation for voters for getting out there and doing their part by voting on Election Day, Tuesday, November 6. The Classics All Day is letting voters enjoy complimentary lunch or dinner when they present their “I Voted” sticker (choice of one entrée and one appetizer). Alcohol and gratuity not included. Offer valid Election Day only. Winter offering at King’s Winter is (almost) here, and as the cooler weather approaches, King’s BierHaus will be giving away one free glass of Gluhwein (German Mulled Wine) to every customer on Wednesdays. Offer starts on Wednesday, November 7 and will run until December 26. Also, Oma’s Chicken Soup is also now available on the winter menu. King’s uses fresh vegetables to make the stock and only use all-natural Himalayan Crystal salt. Oma’s Chicken Soup is a family recipe that’s been passed down for many generations in the Sitter Family. New mysterious spot in the Heights The Southern Goods spot at 632 W. 19th St. looks to be soon turned into a bar by Bobby Heuegel and awardwinning chef, Justin Yu. These two are no strangers to collaborations, as they previously worked together for the popular bar concept Better Luck Tomorrow. According to PaperCity, permit applications were filed with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, making it very likely these two are taking over the space. Japanese on Shepherd Shun Japanese Kitchen recently opened at 2802 S. Shepherd. Chef and owner Naoki Yoshida first learned his culinary skills by working at his family’s Nippon Restaurant from when he was a teenager. With Shun he’s creating his own legacy. As reported by the Houston Chronicle, the menu will feature both

authentic Japanese cuisines, like sushi and robata, and innovative dishes influenced by Houston’s culture, like carnitas gyoza. Kitchen 713 shutters The soul food joint Kitchen 713 closed its doors on Sunday, October 28. Having moved to Washington Avenue in 2016 so the concept could expand, it was known for its cuisine which combined Southern influences and foreign flavors. According to CultureMap, chef and co-owner James Haywood felt a little burnt out and wants to explore new cuisines, including West African. What’s next for Kitchen 713’s owners haven’t yet been ironed out, but a new concept in the Heights may be created. Unfortunate fire closes Presidio On Saturday, October 27, the early morning brought disaster by fire to the restaurant

Presidio. No one was hurt, but the restaurant will be closed until further notice. As reported by CultureMap, fire fighters traced the problem to an electrical outlet near the entrance. A part of the dining room, the HVAC system and the roof have suffered damages. Houston’s restaurant community was quick to lend a hand to Presidio and its staff. CultureMap reported that Eight Row Flint served four of Presidio’s dishes on that Saturday night, with proceeds going toward the restaurant’s hourly employees. Sing debuts The Singaporean restaurant, Sing, is officially open at Lowell Street Market, 718 W. 18th St. The menu features items with an array of foreign inspiration, like from Malaysia, China, Thailand and Vietnam. Operation hours are Sunday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., Friday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.

Milhau’s studio is located in the 77007 zip code, you may follow him on Instagram: @frenchtexan and frenchtexan.com. Tim Herschbach impressed me with his eye for capturing amazing landscapes when I met him at First Saturday Arts Market (he’ll be in attendance at this Saturday). Then he got my attention when he told me he was leaving what I thought to be an amazing job with one of Houston’s local television stations. From then on I kept an eye on Herschbach and his work. Going full-time as an artist, even with the support of family is a scary proposition. Herschbach went at as a professional. I noticed that he upgraded his festival equipment, tent and displays. Then he expanded his show circuit beyond Houston. What really set him apart,

was his marketing, and limited print editions of his work. Now Herschbach has stepped up his game again. “I am so excited to announce that I have partnered with a local art production and marketing company, Art Iconix,” Herschbach said in an email announcement. “They have exclusive production rights to an exclusive collection of my fine art photographs which they will be marketing worldwide to interior designers and collectors. However, these photographs are also available for you to purchase for your own personal collection!” Art Iconix is a production and marketing company and has opened a very upscale showroom near the Heights. Art Iconix will host Herschbach’s “Colors of the Southwest” series of photographs in an exhibit Nov. 10, 5-9 p.m. Fathom Showroom, 5338

Cornish St., Houston 77007. R.S.V.P is requested to newsletter@herschbachphotography.com. The same weekend of Nov. 9 and 10 is the Houston Vintage Festival and Market at the 1940 Air Terminal Museum. The 1940 art deco architecture of Houston’s first airport terminal is the perfect backdrop and venue for these vintage enthusiasts. Talk about great people watching. By the way, I’m part of this eclectic group of folks. This two day ticketed event starts Friday evening with a preview party and fashion show sponsored by the artsy Hotel Ylem (8080 Main St., Houston 77025). The east meets west theme guarantees colorful costumes and decor. Saturday’s events include a dual fly-by of trick airplanes that deliver past Ms. Houston Vintage contestants. This is the craziest, little known Festival in Houston, learn more at HoustonVintage.com. This Saturday has a plethora of art events around town - and four are right here in the Heights. The Farm Stand at Petrol Station (one of my favs!) 938 Wakefield Dr., Eleanor’s Market at Cavatore Italian Restaurant 2120 Ella, Heights Epicurean Farmers Market at 1245 Heights Blvd., and mine - First Saturday Arts Market at 530 W. 19th St. Three farmers markets and one big art market and that’s just Saturday. Visit 1stSatArtMarket.com for the amazing lineup of talent. Cohen is an artist and founder of First Saturday Arts Market and the Market at Sawyer Yards, find him at ArtValet.com
