New Katy ISD School Bond
Coming up for a Vote
By Tom Behrens
The revised Katy ISD school bond is coming up for a vote on Nov. 4. Shani Matheson,
who is one of the 200 members of the committee who sat down and drafted the new
bond, says it began as a $1.1 billion dollar bond. “I like to call it the District’s wish
list. All the district department heads submitted their lists of what they would like to
have – 83 line items. Over four months we vetted the requests and 63 items are on the
current bond.”
Reduced by 25 percent, the approved bond is $748 million dollars.
The bond requests money to build three
new elementary schools, two junior high
schools, and one high school. “Threethousand new students come into our district
every year,” says Matheson. “This bond will
enable us to have close to 9,000 new seats in
the new schools.”
Six campuses will receive necessary
renovations.
Safety
and
security
improvements are included for the entire
District. An agriculture center and a scaled
down second stadium complete the bond.
The projected cost of the new stadium
is $43,670,684 plus $11,059,316 for
parking; the agricultural Sciences Center is
$22,500.000. The three together account for
11 percent of the total bond. The new schools
account for 48 percent; the renovations are
30 percent, security and technology changes
and additions take 7 percent. Other items
account for 4 percent.

Katy ISD Police Dept to Take Back
Unused or Expired Prescription Drugs
On Saturday, September 27 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
the Katy ISD Police Department, in partnership with
the Drug Enforcement Administration, is giving the
public an opportunity to rid their homes of potentially
dangerous, expired, unused, and unwanted prescription
drugs by dropping them off at the Take Back event
being held at the Katy ISD Law Enforcement Center
located at 20370 Franz Rd., Katy, TX 77449. This
year, however, sharp objects such as needles are not
being accepted. According to the DEA, this initiative
addresses a vital public safety and public health issue
as medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly
susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.
For more information, contact the Katy ISD Police
Department, 281-237-4000.

Join Fort Bend County Libraries
For “Gulf Coast Reads” Reading
Initiative
Fort Bend County Libraries invites the public to join in the “Gulf
Coast Reads: On the Same Page” reading program, a communitywide reading project encouraging communities to read and discuss
a particular book together in October and November. The 2014
selection for “Gulf Coast Reads” is Remember Ben Clayton, a novel
written by Stephen Harrigan.
Other programs include a genealogy class using World War
I records for family-history research and a presentation by an
internationally recognized forensic sculptor who will talk about her
work. The events will culminate with a visit by the author himself,
Stephen Harrigan, who will talk about the creation of his book.
The “Gulf Coast Reads: On the Same Page” program is a
collaborative reading initiative coordinated by Fort Bend County
Libraries, the Harris County Public Library System, the Brazoria
County Library System, the Montgomery County Memorial Library
System, Houston Public Library, and other library and educational
institutions, museums, and bookstores. This “one book, one
community” reading event is designed to encourage reading and
discussion of the same book at the same time, provoking dialogue
among co-workers, friends, families, and classrooms.
For more information, call the library’s Public Information
Office at 281-633-4734, or check the library’s webpage –

Katy Routs Mayde Creek, 63-6 Scoreboard
hadn’t seen before. Our techniques and fundamentals weren’t
real good.”
In Friday night’s game, the Tiger offensive line dominated
the Ram defense allowing Porter and Anderson to break loose
on several runs. Doiron had time to seek out Mullins on passes.
Derek Brown, 6’4”, 310 lbs, strong guard on the Katy
offensive line comments on the Tiger’s line play. “It was a big
deal,” referring to the loss to Woodlands, “a motivational factor,
being kicked in the butt, to get back on track. Tonight we had
something to prove to the rest of the district (19-6A). We are not
going nowhere.”
Unfortunately for the Rams they suffered through another
28 point quarter, plus 21 in the second and 14 in the third.
Coach Lance Carter of the Rams in the pregame interview said
the Rams have to quit shooting themselves in the foot, put a
full game together, avoid penalties, errant snaps and busted
coverages.
Even with Mayde Creek playing their A game, it would have
been tough defeating a potent Tiger offense and defense. “They
have an incredible attack style defense,” said Carter. “The
kids (Mayde Creek offense) have to be exactly where they are
supposed to be. We have to execute to their aggressiveness.”
On shutting down the running game of Anderson and Porter:
“You have to get bodies there tackling,” continued Carter. “You
can’t put one guy on
them. You have to catch
them before they get
rolling.”
Coach Joseph says it’s
a first step for the Tigers.
“We were better, but we
have a long way to go.
It’s a building block. I
think it was important
that the kids saw when we
did execute we could still
move the football. We
learned how important it
is to take care of the ball.
We had no turnovers.”
Coach Joseph continued, “We got a lot of
our kids in the game. In
the second half not one
of our starters played. It
was the other kids turn.
They (starters) encouraged them hooting and
hollering for them. That
helps team chemistry. I

have a chance too.”
Both Katy and Mayde Creek knew they had some things to
fix and improve coming into the game on Friday evening, Sept.
19 at Rhodes Stadium. Katy had suffered a surprise loss to a
physical Woodlands team, 24-7; Mayde Creek imploded in the
fourth quarter allowing Tomball to score 28 points, losing to the
Cougars 35-7.
The Katy Tigers came out loaded for Ram in the first quarter,
scoring 28 points. Kyle Porter scored twice on runs. Garrett
Doiron to Kyle Williams touchdown pass receptions added two
more TDs. Alec DaPra converted the points after.
And it didn’t stop. Tiger dominance continued throughout the
game, crushing the Mayde Creek Rams, 63-6. Rodney Anderson
accumulated 193 yards rushing and two TDs; Kyle Porter added
two more TDs for good measure, and Rico Terrell scored the
final touchdown. DaPra was perfect on all the points after.
Calvin Laskey scored the lone touchdown for Mayde Creek.
In a pre-game interview, Coach Gary Joseph of the Tigers
said his team had to be more physical. “I think that was part
of our problem in the Woodlands loss. Things have come too
easy for us. When things get tough, you have to step up. You
can’t back out from people hitting you. We dropped some passes
because our receivers were getting hit as they were attempting
to catch the ball. Our offensive line is still a work in progress.
The linemen saw some things in the Woodlands game they
Morton Ranch Lady Mavericks
Loose First District Games After an
Impressive Pre-District Season
After an impressive 15 game winning streak in predistrict competition, the Lady Mavericks of Morton Ranch
are starting to attract attention from volleyball fans. The
Mavericks swept games against Fort Bend Kempner,
Cypress Springs, Fort Bend Bush, and Aldine Davis. Morton
Ranch defeated Rosenberg Ranch 3-1. As of press time the
Mavericks have an overall record of 18-7.
In Morton Ranch’s first District game the Mavericks took
on perennial volleyball power, Cinco Ranch, loosing 3 and
out. Kiser and Lady Mavericks were hoping for a big win
against the Cougars.
“Defensively, I thought we played really well,” said
Kiser, “but Cinco is going to be Cinco, strong, not going to
send you a lot of slow balls across the net. They are going
to be competitive; Cinco just has a lot of weapons. We were
flat.”
Kiser says the Mavericks are going to have to do a better
job at the net and in hitting. “It was almost if we had zero
offense. Not taking anything away from Cinco Ranch - they
had an excellent block, a surging offense - we are just going
to have play better next time.”
During the pre-season schedule, Kiser said the team was
playing with confidence and pride. “It was nothing I was
doing. I’m just the person who puts their schedule together,
gives them their uniforms. They were going out there with a
different mindset this year.”
Kiser constantly motivates the girls to play the girls who
come into the gym, not their competitors’ tradition, not their
school name, not the neighborhood they come from. “We
want to play the girls that are on the roster and are suited
up. We want to battle them. It’s just a mental thing right
now. The 15 game winning streak was great, wonderful, but
we’re in one of the toughest districts in Texas. If we can
just take hold of that one big win, I think we can get over

Kiser says she has two
key words in describing
how to play—blitz and
be pro active. “We can’t

The Drop - One of the Year’s Best Crime Flicks
Hours: Mon - Sat 10 a - 8 p • Sunday 12 - 7 p
832•328•5718
11901 Katy Freeway, Houston, TX 77079
By Sam Eifling
In “The Drop,” director Michael R. Roskam follows
the old “Jaws” adage to hide the shark as long as
possible. Guns permeate this crime thriller set largely
in a Brooklyn “drop bar,” a collection point for enough
small-time gambling and prostitution cash that it
becomes a big-time operation for its gangster owners.
But count the number of gunshots in the first, oh, 90-plus
minutes — there are none. Violence is meted out in tight
parcels, and it swirls around the bartender, Bob, played
with cool, seemingly guileless reserve by Tom Hardy. He
just tends bar, he insists, though that includes slipping
pudgy envelopes through a hidden slot in the bar into a
safe, and taking sour orders from his older cousin, Marv,
the bar’s one-time owner. That’s James Gandolfini in his
final cinematic performance before he faded to black
at 51. He’s all coiled rage here, another explosion on a
delayed trigger.
Two things happen to disrupt Bob’s routine of late
nights, passive money laundering and early morning
mass. The bar gets held up: Two men in masks and hoodies
burst in after closing, wave shotguns around and make
off with a healthy take. Bob notices a detail about them
that interests the detective on the case (John Ortiz) and
the Chechen mobster (Michael Aronov) who sets about
trying to locate the culprits. Also, Bob finds a roughedup pit bull puppy in a garbage can that he reluctantly,
then wholeheartedly, adopts, with the guidance of a new
friend, Nadia (Noomi Rapace, a highlight as always).
Adapted for the screen by Dennis Lehane, from his
own short story, “The Drop” is that rare outer-borough
New York film that has zero interest in Manhattan. It tries
to paint a Brooklyn of the increasingly old-school; the
only nod to gentrification is the sale of the church that
the detective complains will be carved into condos with
stained-glass windows. This tranche of the city moves
slowly and has long memories — witness the rounds of
shots guys at the bar hoist to send off a departed buddy,
10 years after he went missing. Or Marv’s ire at not being

Volume 25| Number 18
Located in CAP Thrift Store Center
able to sit in his stool — his
stool — at the bar. The only
character who evinces a trace
of ambition for something
greater is Marv’s suffering
sister, and even she resigns
to waiting until her next life
to see Europe.
The tone of the town sets a
pace that “The Drop” at times
struggles to keep lively. The
small cast and the human
scale of the setting make this
an uncommonly intimate
crime drama. But the story
dotes too long on Bob’s The Drop
foray into puppy fatherhood Rated R
and buckles somewhat Crime/Drama
under his very inscrutability. Director: Michaël R. Roskam
Hardy’s performance, while Writer: Dennis Lehane
fantastic, has to carry more Cast: Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace,
weight than might be strictly James Gandolfini, Matthias
possible. Bob is quiet and Schoenaerts, John Ortiz, Elizabeth
earnest to the point of Rodriguez, Michael Aronov
seeming almost simple, in
the euphemistic sense. Roskam allots him a couple of
partial smiles that might in fact add up to half a grin
through the entire film.
How much you let yourself fall for Hardy’s stern
turn here will determine how much you enjoy “The
Drop,” because as it strolls forward, biding its time,
the film puts increasing strain on a revelatory ending
— one that, as it turns out, does make for a solid
payoff. Still, you’re going to spend a lot of time with
this bartender, his cousin and his lady friend. It will
take more patience than you might expect to reap the
rewards from what could be the sharpest crime flick of
the year so far.

CALL 811
BEFORE YOU DIG
Whether you’re working on a large
excavation or simply planting a tree in
your yard, natural gas and utility line
safety should always be job one—and
that starts with calling 8-1-1 to have
your utility lines marked. By doing so,
you can be certain where your electric,
gas, water and other important lines are
located as well as avoid causing serious
injuries, service interruptions or possibly
costly fines for damaged infrastructure.
Make the call. It’s easy, and free. Respect
the lines. Dig with care. After all, safety
is in your hands… but always on
our mind.

October is Prairie Month
Prairie Month 2014, set for Oct. 8 – Nov. 15, offers
a host of fun, educational and hands-on activities and
adventures for all ages at state parks, nature preserves
and public green spaces throughout the greater Houston
area.
Events for Prairie Month are sponsored by seven
conservation groups, with highlights including three
public prairie plantings, a restoration workshop designed
for private landowners and landscape architects and
tours of pristine prairies from the suburbs of Houston to
the inner city. Many of the events are free.
Houston is known as the Bayou City, but at one
time it was called the Prairie Dynamo because the
coastal prairie ecosystem blanketed most of Harris and
surrounding counties. The coastal prairie is home to
hundreds of species of plants, vegetation, birds, wildlife
and insects, while acting as a natural buffer by absorbing
water during storm surges. Prairies also filter freshwater
flowing to the Gulf of Mexico.
“Prairie Month gives Texans a chance to rediscover
our prairie roots and western heritage, while celebrating
renewed interest in this endangered landscape,” says
Jaime Gonzalez of the Coastal Prairie Partnership, one
of the sponsoring organizations. “We have an exciting
lineup of diverse events thanks to the collaboration of
several environmental groups, truly offering something
of interest for everyone during a five-week period this
fall.”
A sampling of some of the outstanding events during
Prairie Month includes:
• 11 – Katy Prairie Bioblitz in which Katy Prairie
Conservancy staff and volunteers count every living
species on the highly diverse Katy Prairie northwest of
Katy.
• 18 – Prairie Pandemonium at Armand Bayou
Nature Center with the oldest prairie planting event in
the Houston area.
• 29 – Urban Prairies by Light Rail, an inner city tour
of prairies in the Texas Medical Center and Hermann
Park, led by Jaime Gonzalez
• 1 – Prairie Heritage Day at Seabourne Creek
Park in Rosenberg with a full day of adventures and
activities hosted by the Texas Master Naturalists –
Coastal Prairie Chapter.
• 8 – Prairie Plant-a-Thon at Sheldon Lake State
Park and Environmental Learning Center, one of the
largest restoration days on the Gulf Coast, with a tour of
the state park afterward.
The seven Houston-area organizations sponsoring
Prairie Month 2014 are Armand Bayou Nature Center,
Coastal Prairie Partnership, Katy Prairie Conservancy,
the Native Prairies Association of Texas – Houston
Chapter, Nature Conservancy of Texas, Texas Master
Naturalists (three chapters) and Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department. Go to prairiepartner.org for more
information or to register for any and all events.

Looking for a Unique Way to Bond with Your Children?
By Tom Behrens
Through Y Guides for fathers and sons and Y Princesses for
fathers and daughters, you can build lifelong memories as you
experience a journey of discovery with your child. The Y Guides/
Princesses/Trails program is designed to foster companionship
and understanding between father and child in a wholesome
atmosphere that emphasizes fun and adventure. What differentiates
this program from Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and other similar
youth groups is that dads are involved in all the activities with
their children, not just one or two parents leading an activity.
Clint Holt and his eight year old daughter, Hannah, are in
their third year of involvement in this YMCA program, which
originated in 1926 as Indian Guides and Princesses. Y Guides
and Princesses primarily offers day outings and weekend camping
trips, which are the Holts’ favorite. Campouts are typically
offered monthly and attendance is optional, which allows a parent
to choose an activity based on their busy schedule. In addition to
campouts, members can enjoy activities such as a father/daughter
dance, participation in the rodeo parade, Pinewood Derby races
and a skating party. “The annual Monster Truck Jam is a big
favorite,” says Holt.
Clint and Hannah’s favorite camps are Camp Olympia, Flaming
Arrow, Rocky River and Huntsville State Park. “We arrive on
Friday evening and return home on Sunday,” says Clint. Activities
at the camps might include archery, shooting BB guns, zip lining,
rock wall climbing and the screamer. “The screamer is a giant
swing,” says Clint. “They crank you back 20 feet in the air and
release you.” Hannah’s favorite activities are horseback riding and
archery, as well as spending time with her dad and her friends…
“It’s just a whole new experience.”

of the YMCA to participate
in the program. A nominal
fee is required to participate
in Y Guides/Princesses with
an additional fee for the
optional campouts.
The program runs from
September through May.
“We have quite a few people
who have already signed
up for this year,” continued
Calcote, “but registration is
ongoing. We usually have
anywhere from 250-300
pairs of dads and children
each year.” There has already
been one campout, and other
exciting trips are quickly One of Hannah Holt’s favorite

Trails program is open for
children in grades 4 through 12.
Once a member, the youth are assigned to a tribe. These tribes
meet monthly at a participant’s home or another central location
in the Katy area. Boys and girls are organized into separate tribes,
but attend the same campouts.
