I believe that teachers should be paid what they’re worth – my concern is that we must identify where those dollars are going to come from
HISD teachers should receive their step pay raise this year after all, after an amendment proposed by Trustee Elizabeth Santos narrowly passed at last week’s regular Board of Trustees meeting – but it remains to be seen where administrators will be able to find the funds. Santos’ amendment shot down administrators’ proposal that would have frozen educators’ salaries at the 2017-2018 level for the upcoming year as the district attempts to navigate a budget shortfall. Trustees
- Wanda Adams passed the amendment by a 5-4 margin, with Diana Davila, Anne Sung, Sergio Lira, Holly Maria Flynn Vilaseca, and Santos voting in favor. “Our teachers need that step raise
– it’s the one thing they thought would be given to them,” Santos said. “It’s paying them for the experience that they’re bringing back to the classroom.”

“It’s the issue of not respecting and maintaining the experienced teachers’ step pay that has been there in the past,” Lira said. “We have to continue to project the value of our teachers, and especially of our experienced teachers. We need to value them.” Among fellow trustees greater concerns, however, is determining a source of funding for the step raises, which would cost about $5 million according to HISD Chief Financial Officer Rene Barajas. “I believe that teachers should be See Teachers P. 6A

The property for Fitzgerald’s, which has hosted live musical acts in the century-old building near the corner of White Oak Boulevard and Studemont Street for four decades, has been sold to a local real estate developer. Sara Fitzgerald, who has owned the property and venue since 1977, confirmed the property’s sale and has said she will stay on hand to run the venue until a decision is made with regards to its future development. “I bought it 42 years ago to flip it, it just took me that long to flip it,” she said of the venue, which was in danger of being torn down when she purchased it more than four decades ago. “I thought it was a cool building, and somehow got into the music business and stayed around a long time.

This development is another in a line of Houston’s newest commodity of food halls and markets. But with the growth in Houston -- especially in The Leader area -- of food and drink concepts, will Railway Heights be just what the locals need?

Our mistake A Page 1 story Aug. 11 incorrectly described the regulatory timeline for the Texas high-speed train as “uncertain” and “murky.” The Federal Railroad Administration’s final environmental review of the project is pending. The story also incorrectly described the option agreement the train’s developers, Texas Central, have on its preferred passenger site in Houston. The company’s option on land at the North-
west Mall can be exercised any time. The story also should have said Texas Central officials have described the train’s passenger stations as an economic catalyst, increasing property values, boosting local businesses and improving transportation connections.

Senior scams are a $36 billion industry A business partner and I sat down for lunch earlier this week at a local restaurant short on patrons and quiet enough to hear the sear of meat behind the kitchen door. Sounds relaxing, right? Two tables away, a portly man stole the ambiance. With oiled hair and a golf shirt as shiny as his gold watch, this fellow had a captive audience of two seniors – presumably a husband and wife enjoying the years they had left to dine at such restaurants. For a while, Frank and I kept to ourselves, talking about new business plans and the upcoming college football season. But every time we stopped to take a bite of food, we couldn’t help but hear the obvious salesman dishing another load of garbage toward the seniors at his table. “I’m not sure if you know this,” he said as he pointed his knife at the elderly man, “but since 1987, the stock market has been up.” I don’t joke when it comes to the financial markets. That’s exactly what he said. Then another doozy spilled out of his salsa. “If you put your money with me, I’ll cover any losses you have up to 10 percent of 30 percent,” he assured them. “We’ll do that for the first three months.” Frank, my business partner, and

I looked at each other in disbelief. Were these seniors really buying the burritos this fellow was selling? Neither of us remembers the entire conversation, but the last line I recall from the slick dealer’s mouth stuck with me: “Listen, we all know the market is up right now, but it’s not going to last,” he said. “I’ll make sure you are protected when it gets bad.” In all fairness, the guy was probably right about the first line: There will be a slip in the markets at some point because that’s what markets do. Then again, this guy’s acumen on finances probably ranked somewhere close to the cook searing the meat in the back. At one point, Frank said he either needed to leave, or he wouldn’t be able to resist challenging the salesman on whatever plan he had for these seniors. Frank knows how to manage money, and he’s done well
with it over the past 20 years. I’m fairly certain we did the wrong thing, because we should have intervened. But we didn’t know the guy, didn’t know the couple at the table, and we weren’t sure it was our place to butt into an area that isn’t our field of expertise. What I can’t forget are the two seniors listening to this peddler. The lady sat with the most perplexed look on her face, walking cane resting on her leg and not a bite of food ever placed in her mouth. We could only see the back of her husband’s head, but I never once saw him lift a fork, and his head remained cocked at a 7-degree angle for almost 30 minutes straight. I haven’t forgotten what I watched happen, because I know how vulnerable seniors are to the myriad scams seeking to prey on whatever wealth they’ve accumulated. My dear mother (and I know she’ll read this) was incredibly worried last month because my younger brother got a call from the IRS, informing him that an arrest warrant had been issued because he failed to pay some taxes. If you haven’t been privy to that scam, trust me, it’s coming. The point is: Seniors are more vulnerable – even seniors “cognitively intact” – to these sorts of scams than any other group of people. In 2015, True Link Financial was
Clean up on Aisle 2600 THE GROCERY STORE – Where’s my check list? Butter, milk, coffee, beer, eggs, more beer. I shall keep the receipt because later I will have to exchange most of these items. Me: “Here’s the milk.” My wife: “This is 2 percent milk. I wanted 3 percent, besides it’s a pint and I needed a quart, nonorganic. This is organic. And this isn’t….” Husbands know what I’m talking about. In any event, here I am at the check-out counter. “Paper or plastic?” the clerk asks. “Paper, please.” “Your ID?” the clerk says, while loading my groceries in a plastic bag. ID? To buy the beer, I guess, but I don’t look under 21, or under 71 for that matter. I inquire why I should have to show my ID. “It’s a new order from the Trumpster himself,” the clerk says, stacking the eggs on the bottom of the bag and putting two six-packs on the top. “He says you gotta show your ID to buy groceries. It makes America great again.” I go home and am somewhat confused until I pick up the newspaper. “During a rally in Tampa, Fla., Trump justified his call for voter ID cards by saying they were already needed to buy food. ‘If you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID. You go out, you want to buy anything, you need ID. You need your picture.’” As has been pointed out by those commie libs in the press, this quote shows that our beloved President Donald J. Trump thinks we have to present our ID when shopping for groceries or “anything.” More telling, this clueless quote shows he is totally out of touch with the American people, so how can he relate to our angst? To be fair (hahaha), we must remember that this man of the people for years has ridden around in a chauffeurdriven car, flown in his own private airplane and lives in a three-story penthouse suite on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue. This is not a knock. I’d live that way if I could, and so would you. And we wouldn’t know much about grocery shopping. But we might know that we don’t have to present an ID when buying Lay’s Perineum Potato Chips. These days, shoppers rarely need to show identification except to buy cigarettes, alcohol and some over-thecounter medications. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said Trump was “not saying every time he went in; he said when you go to the grocery store.” Asked when Trump last shopped for groceries himself, Sanders said: “I’m not sure. I’m not sure why that matters, either. If you go to a grocery store and you buy beer and wine, certainly you’re going to have to show your ID.” She said he wasn’t talking about himself when he made the comment be-

cause Trump doesn’t drink alcohol. On the other hand, Oscar Wilde wrote: “A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.” So I really don’t want President Trump, or any President, shopping at my local grocery store. Can you imagine poking among the pork bellies and in walks President Trump with his entourage of Secret Service, assorted hangers-on and the enemies of America: the press? What a circus. This out-of-touch game has been played before. President George H. W. Bush, during a debate more than two decades ago, could not say how much a gallon of milk cost. When he was campaigning for re-election and paid a visit to the exhibition hall of the National Grocers Association convention, Bush lingered at the mockup of a checkout lane. Then he grabbed a quart of milk, a light bulb and a bag of candy and ran them over an electronic scanner. A news story at the time read: “The look of wonder flickered across his face again as he saw the item and price registered on the cash register screen. ‘This is for checking out?’ Bush later exclaimed: ‘I just took a tour through the exhibits here. Amazed by some of the technology.’” Ike Eisenhower, retiring to his farm at Gettysburg, noted he hadn’t opened a car door or dialed a phone in decades. Less Dems get too cocky, when Harry Truman left the White House as a former President heading towards the airport to take him to Missouri, he observed with some awe that his car had to stop at red lights. Then there was the time Jacqueline Kennedy, sprawled across her bed reading a magazine, told an aide, “You know, there are coupons that will give you a discount.” And lest we forget the observation by Hillary Clinton in 2014: “The last time I actually drove a car myself was 1996.” Chauffeured for 18 years and counting. I don’t know the price of a quart of milk because I haven’t drunk milk since 1900, but it is one of those gotcha questions reporters tend to ask politicians running for office, so perhaps they should bone up on such matters beforehand. This whole ID thing is part of Trump’s constant claim that “three million illegal immigrants voted in the last (presidential) election.” Some conservative pundits put the number even
higher. This may well be so, but other experts poo-poo this figure. The problem is, despite claims such as Gov. Greg Abbott’s warning of “rampant” voter fraud, there has not been one iota of proof. To paraphrase the line from “Jerry Maguire:” Show me the illegal voters! They can’t and, we must suspect, because there aren’t any. OK, there is one. Rosa Maria Ortega, 37, a permanent resident and a mother of four who lives outside Dallas, was sentenced to eight years in prison -- and almost certainly deportation later -- after she voted illegally in elections in 2012 and 2014. “Butter, milk, coffee, beer, eggs, more beer. Your papers, please.” Or plastic. Ashby frauds at ashby2@comcast.net
cited repeatedly for a study determining that seniors were scammed, in one year, for more than $36 billion. And that was three years ago. In the same year, Facebook only did $18 billion in revenue, to offer some comparison. Think about that, though. The business of scamming the elderly is so prevalent that it has become one of the leading industries in this country. How does it happen? The National Council on Aging has 10 defined areas that make up for the most problems. Medicare and health insurance tops the list. People call posing as Medicare representatives, and seniors hand over all their personal information. Then, the scammers provide a bill to Medicare and pocket the money. Another similar issue is seniors going online to buy cheaper prescription drugs and ending up with sugar pills that help nothing. Funeral scams are just as bad: Con artists read obituaries, show up at the funeral parlor, and quietly tell other seniors that the deceased owed a bunch of money. You can avoid placing the burden on your family by signing up for the trickster’s policy, which won’t buy you a cardboard box or spoonful of dirt. There are anti-aging products, phone scams, internet fraud, reverse
mortgages, lotteries, family members and, you guessed it, investment schemes that all take money from seniors. I am not an expert on senior-related issues, but I know a bunch of people who are. If you’re a senior in this area of Houston, or if you’re a son or daughter who helps care for seniors, I’d like to personally invite you to The Leader’s 6th annual Senior Expo presented by Memorial Hermann Greater Heights on Sept. 19. Just like every other year, we’re holding the event at the SPJST Lodge on Beall Street in the Heights, and we’re serving up free breakfast and lunch. This event, as you might guess, is one of the most enjoyable things we do at The Leader. We have a room full of seniors who absolutely enjoy the free event, but we also think the Expo provides a service that offers a level of great trust. Whether it’s financial advisors, attorneys, Realtors or car mechanics, our Expo brings together a room full of experts who can help you with almost any question a senior (or caregiver) might have. If you’d like to attend, just call our office and register at (713) 686-8494. We promise there won’t be any guys sticking dull knives in your face. Email jonathan@theleadernews.com
The reader. Couple celebrate 50 years of marriage at Cavatore
Dear Editor: Jonathan, thank you for sharing our celebration of 50 years of marriage in The Reader. We have lived in Pinemont Square since April of 2017. We moved from Nacogdoches to be closer to the Houston Methodist Hospital where I had a liver transplant 1/11/2018. Been doing great! The first three months after the transplant were rough! We really enjoy The Topics and your commentaries and Lynn Ashby’s, even if he is not a Trump fan! Keep up the good work and we hope the rising cost of paper won’t break small newspapers like The Leader. Brian and Stephanie Carpenter
Enjoy the sun. Avoid the rays.
Dear Editor: Your recommendations are a recipe for vitamin D deficiency, which most of the world suffers from due to avoiding sun exposure. Here are some facts that you must have missed: • Seventy-five percent of melanoma occurs on areas of the body that are seldom or never exposed to sun. • Women who sunbathe regularly have half the risk of death during a 20-year period compared to those who stay indoors. • A Spanish study shows that women who seek the sun have one-eleventh the hip-fracture risk as those who avoid sun. • Men who work outdoors have half the risk of
melanoma as those who work indoors. • An Iranian study showed that women who avoid the sun have 10-times the risk of breast cancer as those who embrace the sun. • Women who sunbathe regularly have half the risk of death during a 20-year period compared to those who avoid the sun. • Sun exposure increases nitric oxide production, which leads to a decrease in heart disease risk. • Sun exposure dramatically improves mood through the production of serotonin and endorphin. • Sun exposure increases the production of BDNF, essential to a properly functioning nervous system.

ave you ever been in a situation where you just didn’t know what to say? Maybe it was a time of great loss and you wanted to console someone but didn’t know how to do it. Sometimes there are no words to help someone in a difficult time. I think this truth is demonstrated for us in the actions of Jesus Christ when he came to the tomb where Lazarus was buried. Lazarus and his two sisters, Mary and Martha, were close friends of Jesus. Jesus had spent time with them in their home and when Lazarus was sick Mary and Martha called for Jesus to come and heal him. Jesus did not arrive right away choosing instead to wait two days before coming. By the time Jesus arrived, Lazarus had died. When Jesus went to the tomb with Mary and Martha and all of the other family and friends, Jesus saw and felt the emotional pain that all of the people were struggling with. Rather than give a theological answer, the Bible says that Jesus wept. Even though Jesus was God and knew all things which meant that He also knew that He was about to raise Lazarus from the dead, in the moment of their pain, Jesus wept with them. I am thankful to serve a God that cares about emotional needs and is with us no matter what we are going through. Sometimes we want God to do a miracle, and He can do and does do miracles. Sometimes what we need is for God to be present with us. As Christians we serve a God who never leaves or forsakes His children.

Teachers from P. 1A paid what they’re worth – I agree wholeheartedly. But if we make any amendments to the budget – which has already been passed – my concern is that we must identify where those dollars are going to come from,” said Trustee Wanda Adams, who voted against the pay increase. “We can’t just say the money is there without identifying the source...you cannot spend what you do not have.” “Our fiscal responsibility is to ensure that this district is functioning. We’re already operating at a deficit,” add-
ed Rhonda Skillern-Jones, who also voted in opposition. “Governance requires due diligence, and to make a blanket amendment and not know how to pay for it does not seem fiscally responsible.” Officials declined to say how the $5 million would be accounted for, though verbiage in Santos’ proposal prohibits layoffs and salary cuts to pay for the additional spending. The largest gaffe, trustees say, remains that the compensation proposal was not brought forward to trust-
ees earlier. Board members were not made aware of administration’s proposed salary schedule until weeks after teachers signed contracts for the 2018-2019 school year. Thus, none of them were aware their salaries would be frozen until mere weeks before students return to school. “We need to honor our words, we need to operate with integrity,” Flynn-Vilaseca said. “I would encourage administration to go back and take a look at some of
the different areas where we can move forward and honor our word to our educators.” Further, district administrators confirmed a discussion on allocation of teacher funds was never brought up in budget creation meetings leading up to the passing of HISD’s $2.1 billion budget in June – leading to more trustee reservations until a source is identified. “We’re in very dangerous territory if we pass this without determining where the money comes from,” Deigaard said.

Restaurants from P. 1A taurant owners. The team behind the food and retail destination (Anh Mai and Shepherd Ross) has the talent and experience to make something really special come to life.” There will also be local grocers inside the food hall and a farmers market every Saturday and Sunday with locally sourced produce as well. But as the Railway Heights website proclaims, no, they won’t have something for everyone. Under grocers the website reads, “You won’t find toilet paper, or shampoo but you will find bulk goods from local purveyors, fresh seafood from the gulf, locally raised meats, curated cheeses, and produce from all your local small farms.” Locally sourced has become an important quality for many people and is what draws many residents to farmers markets. “The more awareness that comes to light about food production and ingredients the more people want to support local farmers and producers. Being able to meet and talk to the person that raised the animal, grew the produce, produced and created the products, and knowing exactly what is in it and where it came from, makes the experience of food so much more genuine and enjoyable,” said Amy

Teachers in HISD rank among the lowest in terms of similar-experience teacher salary, falling at least $2,000 short of the region’s highest-paid teachers with similar years of experience.
Williams, owner of Underhill Urban Farm Co. and a vendor at Eleanor’s Market. As a small farmer, Williams is excited to see a development like Railway Heights being introduced into the Timbergrove neighborhood and would even be interested in becoming a vendor there. Alongside the food and drink selection will be artisan goods. Specifically, the development is looking for vendors who have a special homemade craft to share with the world. No vendors have been announced other than the container farm Let Us, a concept that revolutionizes the salad bar. Lettuce will be grown in containers onsite and will feature a salad bar and a vending machine. Railway Heights has three phases of development. The first being the food hall, bar concepts, beer garden, dog park, retail space, green space, container farm and weekend market. Phase two will bring a 600 car, multilevel motorized parking garage that will relieve the stress of parking. Lastly, container apartments will be added to the property. “I believe the redevelopment is needed and private developers will take care of their investment. Traffic and safety are a concern. Private controls should be implemented to
assure no issues will arise,” Mark McGarity, a Timbergrove resident said, “The area has looked like a ghost town for some time. I’m looking forward to it.” Even with the redevelopment of Houston Farmers Market (Canino’s) not too far away from Timbergrove, there’s no worry of over saturation. In mentioning these two developments, Fegen commented that both are ambitious projects, but will serve to attract both locals and tourists to explore the city’s diverse dining. He believes that the addition of both markets are nice growth indicators for the region. “Liberty Kitchen has been in the Heights for almost eight years now, and we’ve seen the development of the area booming, without signs of slowing down. We love
seeing our neighborhood grow and evolve,” Fegen said. Residents of Timbergrove also chimed in, with excitement for the new upcoming development. “Since I work across from [Railway Heights] at Silver Eagle, I think it will be nice to have lunch options so close,” Lauren Schultz said. “I’m exited about the grocery store having a local market on weekends and I think it’s awesome to be able to have another dog park where you can also have a beer like the old Boneyard that was next door,” Ashley Mudder said. Railway Heights, to be located at 8200 Washington Ave., will be a fun convenience for locals and inviting enough to bring in food lovers from all over the city.
