Retirement affords many people a chance to engage with new opportunities or experiences in and around their community. For Kenneth Williams, he saw an ample chance to perform a civic duty with his wife by volunteering as a deputy voter registrar. Williams, a Vietnam veteran, said he became frustrated at the number of people that choose not to vote or otherwise believe that votes don’t count. “I think we’re seeing that, when you have Donald Trump as one candidate and Bernie Sanders as

another contender, people are really upset with the status quo,” Williams said. “A lot of people have made a lot of sacrifices to preserve our liberties.” The Timbergrove Manor resident isn’t the only one taking notice of low voter registration and, by proxy, low voter turnout. According to the Texas Secretary

of State, less than 22 percent of residents 18 and older voted in this year’s March 1 primaries. Williams spoke with his wife and they elected to become volunteers and took part in a short training session with county officials, where candidates learn the process for assisting voters in the registration process. “The process takes about three hours or so in one day,” Williams said. “The biggest surprise to me is that it’s not our position to determine whether anyone is qualified or not.

City selects firm for developing historic district guidelines For The Leader

The mission of Girls Incorporated of Greater Houston, also called Girls Inc., is to inspire young girls to be strong, smart and bold. The agency is recognized as a premier, nationwide organization dedicated to helping girls realize their potential. “The construction of the Little Free Library was a STEM project,” Cari explained. “Sometimes girls are intimidated by science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, but we used it throughout. It was difficult, but the girls were determined. Now they are proud. It was very empowering for them and a thrill to watch.” Cari and the three students started building the library in March. They budgeted the project, sought donors, de-

City officials announced they have selected Winter & Company, a planning and urban design firm, as the consultant for the Historic District Design Guidelines. The city’s Planning & Development Department first embarked on revamping the Historic Preservation Ordinance following a series of articles by The Leader, culimating in a yearlong review of the ordinance and the process involving homeowners making changes to historic structures. The new ordinance calls for the adoption of new design guidelines for districts within 16 months. Phase 1 of the design guidelines project will include 7 historic districts: Houston Heights Historic District East, Houston Heights Historic District West, Houston Heights Historic District South, Norhill Historic District, Freeland Historic District, Woodland Heights Historic District and the Old Sixth Ward Historic District, which will receive an update to its existing guidelines. Phase 2 is expected to begin in 2017

As a member of the Houston Heights Woman’s Club, Lisa Cari was thrilled when she discovered the programs offered to students by Girls Incorporated of Greater Houston. Ever-busy and tremendously energetic, Cari quickly signed on to volunteer with the nonprofit agency at Hogg Middle School, helping with a project that will bring hours of learning and joy to many kids. Cari and three Hogg Middle School sixth grade girls built a Little Free Library, so that others kids can continue to read throughout the summer vacation. “It was a challenge to construct, but it was a wonderful experience for all of us,” Cari stated with a knowing laugh.

Progress continues steadily for Memorial Park Master Plan By Jonathan Garris jgarris@theleadernews.com Intense rain and flooding haven’t put a damper on the Memorial Park Master Plan as it continues its steady march forward, according to officials. Memorial Park Conservancy president Shellye Arnold said officials have done a “great job” preparing the park for some of the anticipated rains seen so far this year. The Conservancy took over a number of large areas in the park beginning Feb. 1 and the team’s response to flooding received commendations from other city officials and nearby community members, Arnold said. The Master Plan does take into account “major disturbances,” and the intense rains do have a silver lining, she said.

“Nothing has changed per se in the Master Plan,” Arnold said. “It’s more because of the rain and the flooding that we learn more about how to better implement and prepare for the work ahead.” Arnold said that the project is also still on pace to to utilize a system to capture and use stormwater. The system would utilize existing wetlands throughout the park while creating a new one for purifying the water, and stormwater would also be diverted into other bodies. Late last year, crews broke ground on the Eastern Glades – the inaugural project of the Master Plan – which includes a 113-acre area north of Memorial Drive between MeSee Park P. 2A

The public. Precinct One: Woman enters Heights home as part of ‘sign from God’ Officials with the Harris County Precinct One Constable’s Office issued an odd alert last week regarding a woman who entered a Heights home, claiming it was a sign from God that she should live there. According to the report, a man returned home at around 9:30 p.m. May 25 in the 200 block of East 11th Street where he found an unidentified woman. The woman had entered the home a few hours earlier and apparently “took a shower, fed her black Labrador, ate a meal, went through some belongings and used his iPad.” The woman also told the homeowner she had entered through an unlocked door, taking that as “a sign from God that she should live there,” the report says. The man told the woman to leave, called the police and walked outside. When the man returned, the woman was gone and left without taking any of the man’s belongings. According to the report, the woman is described as white,

In terms of the funding issues facing the city as a whole, Arnold said the message officials are getting is that funding would, at most, be pushed back but not cut. The public-private partnership model that the project operates on has attracted a number of organizations to assist with the project. “They mayor has been clear that the partnership still stands,” Arnold said.

and Foodarama along with smaller establishments like dry cleaners and gas stations also allowed Williams to post the flyer to get the word out. However, Williams claims he was bluntly turned away from the HEB on West 18th Street. When he first approached the grocery store he as told he would have to go through corporate for approval. “I got in touch and the young lady just said no,” Williams said. “The flyers themselves just have the event information and are nonpartisan – they’re simply encouraging people to come out and get registered to vote. For a company proposing to be about the community, it doesn’t seem to make sense.” A comment from H-E-B could not be reached before press time. Williams is not letting the experience deter him from getting residents engaged in the political process. “This is an important event and people need to be more involved in the democratic process,” Williams said.

The candidate must not have a felony conviction, be convicted of a class-A misdemeanor relating to performance-based compensation for voter registration, be convicted of fraudulent use or possession of identifying information or be convicted of an offense if the person’s adjudication of guilt was deferred.

The fork is mightier than the phone

t’s a sad site when technology ruins wonderful moments of chivalry, and my wife and I saw it happen first-hand this week while having lunch. Sitting just a couple of tables away from us was an elderly couple, probably mid-70s, if that’s still considered elderly. Both the husband and wife had dinner plates full of salad in front of them. The husband had longing eyes on the food. The wife, well, she had a cell phone a few inches from her nose. Meghan and I couldn’t help but stare from the sides of our eyes as the poor lady pecked and pecked at that miniature keyboard. Who knows what she was doing. Maybe she was day trading so she and her husband could afford their next meal. She was probably texting, or answering an email, or checking in to tell her friends she was having lunch with her husband of 40 years at a café. Whatever seemed so pressing, this smartphone feat took much longer than you’d expect. She kept working and working at it. Meanwhile, her husband didn’t move an inch – he looked like an old hound dog desperate for some attention. He did not touch his fork. I’m not even sure he took a breath. He just waited and waited until, finally, his

wife set her phone on the table and reached for her fork. Only then could he calmly lift his fork and begin his meal. Chivalry is not dead, my friends. Neither is technology. And when I say technology is not dead, what I mean is that it may be making us all a little loony, according to a recent study by the technology manufacturer LG. Out of 2,000 respondents to LG’s self-commissioned survey, nine out of 10 people feel “panic” when their phone battery drops below 20 percent. In other words, most all of us have developed a completely non-scientific disorder called “Low Battery Anxiety,” according to the company. The stats, even if they weren’t gathered in the most pristine manner possible, are likely spot-on. For instance, respondents were given a scenario of being in the car, headed

to the gym for a workout. If, on the way, they notice their phone battery has entered Code Red territory, 33 percent will turn their cars around, go back home, and recharge their phones. LG even offered warning signs that you could be “suffering from Low Battery Anxiety.” If you borrow a stranger’s charger, you have a problem. If you own three or more chargers, you need help. If you ask complete strangers for a quick charge, it’s probably the only human interaction you have in your life. And by the way, LG wants you to buy their new smartphone because it has a removable, interchangeable battery, but we’re not giving free product placement here. What we’re doing is admitting we’ve all felt this anxiety. Listen, I have no problem with technology. Just last week, I was able to pick up my iPhone, dial my parents’ number, and let them talk – via FaceTime – to their grandson 700 miles away. I travel a lot, and there’s nothing better at the end of the day than seeing my son and wife, when in the old days, you had to pay $1/minute just to hear their voices on the other end of the line. What I think bothers me most, especially if we’re talking about

lead to violence. (We’ll have an update on Oscar Ocelot’s condition next week.) In answer to several residents’ inquiries, the Electoral College has nothing to do with electricity or universities. Voting this year will be at the Aaron Burr Elementary School (formerly the Alexander Hamilton Elementary School, but the name was changed when civic activists pointed out that Hamilton was only a war hero and established the nation’s financial system, but knew some slave owners, while Burr was a great shot). On another matter, our Congressman replied to our petition to bring plumbing to the neighborhood with a personal email from a staff member: “Dear Occupant, your plea is very important to us, but currently all the Congressman’s aides are busy with other whining constituents who only pester us with their complaints when they want something, but we never hear from them during campaign fund-raising drives. Your snivel will be taken in the order it was received. Current waiting time is (pause) late next month. The Congressman would love to answer each letter, email and scrawlings on paper napkins, but he is currently on a month-long fact-finding trip to Cozumel and Monaco.” The entire neighborhood suffered greatly in the Tax Day floods (that’s April 15 since most residents don’t pay taxes) and asked FEMA for help. Fortunately, FEMA had declared RRA a disaster area even before the floods. As one government official put it: “Running Rats Acres not only set a record, but one more time and you retire the trophy.” In news of our neighbors, we congratulate Bennie Bob Squat, Jr. on his election as president of his fifth grade class.

The posters you see nailed to poles and piles of tires reading: “Lost – Freddy – reward” should have noted that Freddy is not the Corncobs’ dog. Frederick, but their 30-year-old son who escaped when the postman accidentally left the drawbridge down. Speaking of our postman, Mr. Malcomb Missent, would like all residents to know he is beginning his literacy lessons next month, so postal service should improve. And a warning: the block wardens in charge of rabid dog alerts, us-

We entertain our children there. Guilty. We used to build forts and play hide-and-seek. My parents used to work to entertain us. Now we just hand the kids the phone and carry on. We listen to music there. We used to make mixed tapes and call radio DJs requesting songs that we could record. Making that perfect tape was science – now we just download and add it to a playlist. We diet there. We used to make time in our days to visit a gym; now we just count our steps and call it good. (Did you know 10 out of the Top 100 apps in iTunes fall under the Health & Fitness category?) And here’s the last: We now learn how to speak there. There’s an app called “Ummo” that records our speaking and tells us how many filler words like “Umm” and “Like” we use in our sentences. And come to think of it, I can’t complain about that, even though we used to hire speech coaches if that’s what we needed. I’m not against technology. But we sure have put a lot of power into one device – at least enough power to ruin a wonderfully chivalrous moment at a café. Email jonathan@mcelvymedia.com

Time of the signs THE BLIGHT BULLETIN -- Published by and for the residents of Running Rats Acres. It’s about those campaign signs, but first, fellow citizens, once again your Board of Directors of RRA wishes to bring you up to speed on our neighborhood events, concerns and lawsuits. Actually, we are not really up to speed on some projects. Our Christmas lights are still up since Homer Lugnut moved and took his ladder with him. (The warden confiscated it.) We feel the lights are so much trouble to take down we might as well leave them up till next Christmas. The neighborhood swimming pool is still under quarantine by the Health Dept. even though most, but not all, of the toxic chemicals have been removed, as have the family of alligators. There is no news about the sink hole, the carbon test on the Widow Malcontent or Constable Tom “Smack” Truncheon’s brutality and Breathalyzer appeal. Currently our biggest problem involves front yard signs. Up till now we have ignored the rules against billboards feeling that they not only bring color to the neighborhood but are informative, telling us where the nearest tattoo parlor can be found, ditto with the bail bondsmen. But in this super-charged election year, some order and couth must be observed. For instance, the “McCain & Palin – Hero & Zero” signs are getting a bit weather-beaten, not to mention the “I Like Ike” and “Tippycanoe and Tyler, Too” posters. In more recent campaigns, “JEB! The Smart Bush” and “Rick Perry -- Nobody’s Perfect” signs should be removed, along with the Mucklucks’ banner: “Cruz in 2020-24-28 ad infinitum.” Although we believe in the First Amendment at times, and the Second Amendment first, some taste limitations must be imposed. Signs questioning the true birthplace and citizenship of, say, a communist Kenyan, are acceptable, along with those demanding the truth about Benghazi, but we must draw the line on signs reading: “The Establishment Is Insane,” “ISIS Lives at 123 Deadend Drive” and “Free the Waco 100 -- Viva Bandidos!” While we admire the poster reading: “Mr. Trump -- Build Up That Wall!” the Ronald Reagan estate is suing for plagiarism. Yard signs dealing with treason, sexual preferences and accusations of arson will not be tolerated in front yards. What you put up in your backyards, horse stalls and RVs on blocks is your business. While on the subject of offensive words and slogans, some of you have applied bumper stickers such as: “Ask Me About Voter Fraud,” also: “My Child Is A Honor Dropout” and “It’s Not the Ovary Office.” Placing such stickers on your own pickup or tractor is fine, but stop sticking them on other people’s vehicles as that could

mobile technology, is that we’ve literally taken hundreds of things we used to do and crammed them all into a 5-inch computer. Once upon a time, these mobile phones were just another way to make a phone call. Today, it’s so much more. Think about all the things we do on our phones. We write letters there. We used to buy paper and stamps and go to the post office. We visit friends there. We used to actually meet in our dens and share stories and pictures. We shop there. We used to go to stores (sometimes even with our friends). We play games there. We used to clean off the kitchen table and do it with family. Heck, at least with the early versions of electronic games, we only competed with real humans sitting in the same room. We read our news there. Sigh. We watch movies there. We used to go to theaters with other real people in the seats near us and kick the backs of their chairs when they wouldn’t quit talking. At the least, we rented movies and watched them with our girlfriends. We bank there. We used to have to know how to fill out a deposit slip and actually add the dollar amounts ourselves.

A Greater Heights takeover? Seems like it

ing more than one leaf blower at 3 a.m. and garbage rules (the city is supposed to pick up, not deposit), do not like being called “block heads.” Getting back to yard signs, “Cruz Control” and “Lose With Cruz” have been so overused, redundant and shopworn that the RRA board has put a limit of 20 such signs for each yard. Please leave up those Christi, Santorun and Huckabee signs since we all like a good laugh. On the other hand, Trump posters, placards and bumper stickers are not only welcomed but encouraged. You can pick up more of them at Elmo Crabgrasses’ place. They are in the garage which he has converted into a man cave. Look under the bar, and late at night, look under Elmo. Finally, some anonymous residents have asked what happened to their Clinton and Sanders yard signs. Remember the neighborhood Memorial Day picnic and bonfire? Ashby is neighborly at ashby2@comcast.net

Dear Editor: I take some issues with your article. As the person who currently handles much of the “Creek Branding” (full disclosure I’m their Director of Marketing), I’m not sure what is so offensive about having Hill Country themed restaurants in the Bayou City. Can we not celebrate other areas of our great state? Additionally, I would like to invite you to visit our fifth restaurant, Lowbrow. Our first restaurant without the Creek name, it boasts a wallpaper of local landmarks such as the Astrodome, Rothco Chapel Obelisk and the oil derrick that may be more to your liking than Dry Creek’s Austin sign. As someone who grew up in Lindale Park (just outside of the coveted “Greater Heights”) and who now lives in Oak Forest, I too am annoyed with the ever changing marketing of the “Greater Heights” area but even I know that it’s mostly developers and real estate agents looking to drive up home prices and take advantage of the now trendy neighborhood moniker. But Houston living has always had these issues. The constant demolition of historic buildings, the gentrification of the many Wards, East End, and even parts of the Heights (and don’t even get me started on the attempt to rebrand the near north side as “Tampico Heights”) Overall I think it’s a slippery slope to call out a local restaurant group for promoting a place that isn’t within our great city. Are you going to tell Niko Niko’s to stop promoting Greece? What about the Carrabbas and their Italian restaurants? You say you like the vibe of our groups, but our vibe is Hill Country at its core. An escape from the hustle and bustle of Houston city life with a great burger, a cold (most likely local) beer, and a patio of people looking to do the same. Celina Guerrero

Dear Editor: I agree on the Austin envy displayed by The Creeks. While I enjoy all of their establishments (and I guess that’s what matters), it’s silly at best and obnoxious at worst. Monstermash

A PAC seeks to alter the “dry” Heights, will it bring H-E-B? Dear Editor: Changing the dry statute in the Heights would accelerate its rapid decline into a tawdry but bland neighborhood stripped of its unique characteristics that attracted people in the first place. While the city of Houston has crumbling roads and a budget crisis, getting beer at the grocery store is the biggest concern for this group of bourgeois who don’t want to be inconvenienced by having to speed in their BMW to a grocery to the west of Durham to get a bottle of shiraz. There is an HEB at W 18th, but I am sure that many of the people worried about having an HEB in their neighborhood simply don’t want to lower themselves to shop at a store where they may encounter minorities. HEB at W 18th could expand, because the hardware store that was once next to it has been gone for eight years, and I’ve always thought that HEB would eventually annex that empty space. The other rumor has been that HEB would open a store on or near Washington. So, it’s likely that HEB won’t open a store in the “heart of the Heights” no matter what. They make these decisions based on business projections, not petitions from people who want to buy a micro brew in their neighborhood. Jason Hochman Email us your letters: news@theleadernews.com

Frank Black students celebrate first place UIL win By Betsy Denson betsy@theleadernews.com Students at Frank Black Middle School are basking in their first place win at the HISD’s University Interscholastic League (UIL) academic competition for the 2015-2016 school year. FBMS beat out Pin Oak Middle School and Lanier Middle School, which took second and third places, respectively. In a UIL academic tournament, students compete individually in a wide range of subjects, from math, science, and social studies to debate, modern oratory, and more. Students who place individually earn points for their school, and each school’s points are totaled to determine the school sweepstakes winners. FBMS students who competed in the UIL competition were Brianna Alexander, Dylan Barrett, Luke Bilderback, Isabella Bloom, Exodus Broussard, Nevaeh Brown, Andrew Brugner, Elena Carlsson, Rylan Carroll, James Carvajal, Celeste Chamberlin, Spenser Cola, Taylor Derryberry, Casey Funk, Tavia Gabrysch, Elodie Giles, Litzel Gonzales, Sheccid Gonzales, Paola Gonzalez, Axel Guzman Diaz, Shakeria Hayes, Charles Holliman, Emma Hull, Madison Jacoby, Meredith Jacoby, Eden Jeffers, Janice Jefferson, Jessup Johnson, Paige Kennedy, Charlie Maddux, Joseph Maddux, Helen Marston, Audrey Marston, Julian Moreno, Averyana Moss, Connor O’Guynn, Eli Phillips, Conlan Ramirez, Logan Ramirez, Lisa Rollinson, Alana Ross, Savannah Salazar, Sidney Sanabria, Celeste Schmidt, Bethany Whitmire, Yash Sashi, Sean (Riley) Suggs, Haru Tidmore, Emily Wilks, Olivia Winesett, Lydian Zamarripa, Grace Shaualla, and Thomas Williams.

“At Frank Black Middle School, it has been our goal to ensure our students are excelling socially, emotionally, academically; both inside and outside of the classroom,” said FBMS Principal Paolo Castagnoli. “The UIL academic competitions are just such an opportunity.” Black’s first-place district win culminates a two year surge for the school’s academic team, which has placed in 11 of the last 12 competitions over that time period. Castagnoli said that one of his primary objectives since he came to the school was to improve FBMS’s academic program. Theater teacher Heather Hall started taking a few FBMS students to UIL competitions before the school even had a formal UIL academic team. When Mr. Castagnoli started at FBMS in 2014, he called on Hall to take on the role as the official UIL coach. In only her second year as coach, Hall took more than 65 students in two busloads to each of the six academic competitions held by HISD. “It has been an amazing experience watching our team grow so fast,” said Hall, who also leads the one-act play team, which falls under the UIL academic umbrella. “I can’t believe I used to fit half of our team in my car, and now we have to order extra busses so all of our students can go. It’s really incredible to watch kids get excited about an academic competition.” FBMS Eighth grader Elodie Giles was one of the first students who traveled to a UIL competition two years ago. “It’s been really interesting to see the growth of the team,” she said. “We’ve pulled together as a family and we all have such pride in our school.”

Contributed Photo Students at Frank Black Middle School have much to be happy for as theater teacher Heather Hall took on the official role as UIL coach and led the group to their big win at the UIL academic competition.

Other FBMS teachers who have participated in the team’s success include Language arts teacher James Spriggs who leads the school’s newly formed debate team, as well math teachers John Gaipa and Robert Straube. FBMS parent Amy Maddux remembers competing in UIL academic competitions as a child is happy to have academic extracurricular activities for her twin sixth graders who placed in five UIL events. “While my husband and I love all of the extracurricular activities at Frank Black, the fact

remains that the primary purpose of school is academics,” she said. “We want them to be excited about their academic subjects. And UIL reinforces that.” Charlie Maddux, who competed in Number Sense and Social Studies with his brother, said he really likes getting to represent his school. “It’s fun to spend the day at the tournament and then get to see all the kids from your school win,” he said. “When I heard that our school had won the whole competition, I was really proud that I was a part of making that happen.”

signed it, cut wood and Plexiglas, and constructed it. Meeting for an hour, twice a week, the students completed it just in time for the summer, and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at Hogg Middle School to celebrate. “At first, the girls weren’t sure they would ever use STEM in their lives,” Cari recalled. “Then I discovered that one of the girls wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. The other wants to be a chef, and another, an architect, so I said, ‘That’s perfect! All these fields include science and math.’” “We wound up using numbers for everything about the library. We even used ratios

when mixing the paint – 3:1 white to blue for light blue. And the best part was that the girls learned that it feels good to be smart.” “It was completely the girls project,” said Avery Suber, representitive with Girls Inc. “They drew up the blueprints for the boat, built it, painted it, and collected more than 60 books to fill it. It was very ambitious.” “We had a lot of fun,” said student Tara Lewis. ”I learned measuring and numbers, and working with wood. Then we got to design the fish and stuff painted on the inside and back.” “When we were deciding on a project, we found out that there were book deserts

in Houston,” said student Feye Smith. “Book deserts are places where kids don’t have access to books or libraries, so we decided to build a Little Free Library so the kids who live there can read this summer. We found a desert not far from school, at the MD Anderson YWCA, so our library will go there.” “It was really fun, and a great experience, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Ms. Lisa,” student Alison Caradine said. The sixth grader was not willing to take credit for the project without sharing some of it with her volunteer instructor. In a surprise moment following the ribbon-cutting, Cari

presented the three girls with a gift. Each received her own brand new toolkit, complete with a hammer, pliers and screw driver.

and will include two historic districts: Main Street Market Square Historic District and Glenbrook Valley Historic District. Originally, the Historic Preservation Design Guidelines project was expected to include just the three Houston Heights Historic Districts (East, West, and South). The City has since expanded the project to include the Norhill, Woodland Heights, Freeland, Old Sixth Ward, Main Street Market Square and Glenbrook Valley Historic Districts. Under the guidance of Winter & Company, each of these additional historic districts will receive their own design guidelines, while the three Houston

Heights historic districts will share a single design guidelines document. Design guidelines provide helpful information to property owners who are planning changes to the exterior of their property that would require a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). The Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission and the City’s historic preservation staff will use design guidelines, along with the historic preservation ordinance, to review COA applications.

When the dog bites... bite your neighbor. Itâ€™s such a disturbing thing to think about happening, but this scenario plays out across our city every day. While I certainly hope that this never happens to you, it wouldnâ€™t hurt to have a plan in place, in case it does. Animal behaviorists have suggested the following steps to take in the event of a dog bite: 1. Remain calm and do not punish your dog. Sheâ€™s not in any position to accept and understand a punishment right now. It will only escalate the drama and confusion. 2. Immediately remove the dog from the situation by placing him in another room or in his crate. 3. Attend to the victim. Assess if immediate medical care is needed. Get his or her contact information, if you donâ€™t already have it. 4. Refrain from blaming the victim for the bite. No matter what the person mightâ€™ve done that caused

Dear Tabby, Our dog is getting older and more ornery and grumpy every day. Sheâ€™s nipped at a friend before and Iâ€™m afraid sheâ€™ll eventually bite someone. What should we do if that happens? Anticipating a dog bite in Garden Oaks Dear Anticipating a Dog Bite, While your dog is older and crotchety, dog bites also happen to the friendliest, most well-adjusted dogs. Sometimes, theyâ€™re caught off-guard or some latent aggression gets redirected. Other times, theyâ€™re not thinking clearly, they get spooked and boom! They

your dog to bite, your dog is still to blame for the bite. 5. Call your vet, request your dogâ€™s vaccination certificates and medical records and ask how to proceed from here. 6. Call your insurance company and also an attorney, if it feels warranted. 7. Contact your local animal control office and comply with their orders. If you make it through the above steps and are now on the road to mending the relationship between the victim, and you and your dog, dog training is your next step. Behavior modifications can help keep your dog from getting into this situation ever again and also help you to recognize the warning signs that it could happen (and allow you to take preemptive action). By covering all of your (legal) bases, making amends with the victim and beginning a rigorous regime of behavior modification for your dog, you can insure that you, your neighbors/friends

Chase Baker, D.D.S.

ortunately â€” or unfortunately â€” you no longer have any problems with your upper teeth. They were all removed some years ago and you now wear a full upper denture. Does this mean you can forget about visiting your dentist regularly? Not if you value your health and future comfort! Regular appointments with the dentist are as important for denture-wearers as for people with natural teeth. The mouth tissue, bony ridges and gums that support dentures are constantly undergoing changes and may impair the denturesâ€™ proper function. Even such general health ailments as vitamin deficiencies, extended illness, drug therapy, weight loss, diabetes or high blood pressure can change the way dentures fit. Ill-fitting dentures can seriously damage the mouth, causing abrasions, bruises, inflammation and rapid destruction of the supporting bone. Prolonged irritation of this kind may result in the development of tumors. It is important to have a dental checkup at least once a year to insure that your dentures are properly adjusted and that your mouth is in good health. Prepared as a public service to promote better dental health. From the office of: Chase Baker, D.D.S., 3515 Ella Blvd., 713-682-4406.

MESSAGE OF THE WEEK

Mind Your Conversations

hile we usually think of conversation as a spoken interchange between two or more people, it is important to realize that conversation is virtually everywhere. Thinking is, in essence, an internal conversation. Reading a book or a magazine article is an extended conversation with an author. Television is likewise a sort of conversation, but one where we can click the remote to change conversation partners without fear of offending anyone. Our waking life is one big conversation, and even our dream life is a kind of conversation where our subconscious mind seems to send messages to our conscious selves. We should tend these conversations, and â€œmindâ€? them carefully. Take care to converse with yourself in a kindly and edifying way; your thoughts become habits of mind. Mind your conversations with friends and family; your character and reputation are built largely on your words and whether they match your deeds. Exercise discretion over the â€œconversationsâ€? you have with the media; donâ€™t be a passive recipient of anything and everything that comes your way but make an effort to fill your mind with worth while material. Finally, consider that prayer is a conversation with God and that we should not only speak but also listen to what God has to say to us.

Mind your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes.

Food, drink F R E E 20 PRESS 15 SUMMER FESTIVAL By Christina Martinez While surfing the web this past weekend, the unfortunate headline came across my phone screen: FPSF relocating to NRG Park. This will be the second year that the festival has relocated from Eleanor Tinsley Park to NRG after several weeks of storms but, nonetheless, the show must go on! This year’s festival will again be hosted in the Yellow Lot of NRG. I’m hoping there will be plenty of shade and the storms hold off for this year’s lineup. Let’s dance, Houston.

First Saturday Arts Market this weekend Right off the bat let me remind you that Saturday night, First Saturday Arts Market switches to evening hours 6 -10 p.m. Watch the website for updates if mother nature strikes Houston again. Robin Kirby performs her latest originals at 7 p.m. 1stSatArtMarket.com. For the calendar Saturday afternoon, Urban Eats Restaurant will host an afternoon reception for artist Diane Gelman, 3-5 p.m. at 3414 Washington Ave, Houston, TX 77007. Owner Levi Rollins emailed me recently and told me about how Urban Eats has a passion for supporting local artists. I had noticed the art on the walls before, but didn’t know they rotate the art every few months, host receptions and feature the artists info on their website. Top notch! Check them out, and I recommend the Sticky Beef Banh Mi & Fresh Herbs salad. Wow! feasturbaneats.com

A new way to Brunch in the Heights

Young The Giant

Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz recently came together for a collaboration album: Collegrove. The title name is a combination of the two’s hometowns. 2 Chainz from College Park, Georgia, and Lil Wayne from the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans. The two announced the collaboration last November and released the album in March. Wayne and Chainz spit lines with some depth on the album, but I’m counting on the energy from the crowd from this set. Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to see the Collegrove duo, but I know the crowd is going to bring the hype.

A great addition to the lineup this year is Modest Mouse. A band hailing from the 90’s, one that many can probably sing the early 2000s lyrics verbatim to. The American rock band put out their sixth album last year: Strangers To Ourselves. You can beat they’ll play some from the new album, but also old standbys to get the crowd interactive. Float on to their stage.

My first headliner is none other than Mr. Leon Bridges. After finding his voice, 26-year-old Leon Bridges has completely immersed himself in soul. The Fort Worth native released his debut album, ‘Coming Home,’ in June of 2015. Bridges’ phenomenal vocals, paired with his acoustic set, slows down the crowd and demands all eyes and ears. I came across Mr. Bridges while discovering Houston’s The Suffers. Just like The Suffers, Leon Bridges will captivate, mesmerize and get ya dancing. Imagine sailing into the sunset with a glass of wine, your dearest friends and musical lyrics that match the colors of the sunset. That picture perfect imagery is how I came about Young The Giant and why they are near and dear to my heart. Their last album release was January 2014 with Mind Over Matter and the group has a new release on the horizon later this year: Home of the Strange. Maybe if we’re lucky we’ll get a preview of the new album.

of all that is stitched, sewn, poured, crafted, handmade, vintage, and fair trade: Brittany Bly’s Pop Shop Houston Summer Festival. There are indoor and outdoor vendors, food trucks, and music. This artfully curated festival is one of my favorites and a very popular show. Get tickets and event details at PopShopAmerica.com. Silver Street Studios is located at 2000 Edwards St. Houston, TX. 77007. Keep up with all of Washington Avenue Arts District projects and happenings on their website artsdistricthouston.com.

Big Grams

Another collaboration on the lineup is Big Boi + Phantogram. Antwan André Patton, better known by his stage name Big Boi, is best known for being a member of American hip-hop duo Outkast alongside André 3000. Phantogram is an intoxicating American electronic rock duo. The two collaborate together for an album that celebrates, rather than condemns, the seven deadly sins: Big Grams. The self-titled debut EP released last year in September and received mixed reviews. Mixed reviews aside, I’ve got high hopes for a dancing set on this one.

The Hip Hop Lineup

I hate to do it. I love my hip-hop. And grouping all of my hiphop headliners in one graph isn’t fair, but all of these need some spotlight from me. First, Mac Miller is making a comeback and I’m all ears to see what the Pittsburgh boy has got. A$AP Ferg is going to put on a show some type of way. Tory Lanez is going to Say It and Trae Tha Truth is going to leave it all on the stage. All of these shows will be my first live, let’s see what they’ve got.

Beer isn’t the only thing the Oak Forest brew shop, Farmboy Brew Shop, is passionate about. Last year, the brew shop took a trip to Austin to take in the scenery and grab a few peaches to bring home and enjoy. Owners Landon and Natalie Weiershausen are taking preorders for this year’s Austin peach haul now. Recommended pickup set for June 15 and you have a choice between a one and two grade peach. Pre-order by Friday, June 10, at the store - 3814 N. Shepherd Dr. - or give them a call. Is Zelko Bistro moving? In a recent post on Facebook, The Heights Life, a dedicated blog on the Heights, there was a photo of a “For Lease” sign in front of Zelko Bistro on Facebook. The blog noted that this is not the first go-round with lease battles for the restaurant. Followers commented on their disapproval of the restaurant leaving their 11th Street location and one even speculated a new location move for Zelko Bistro.

“Think moving to Bellaire. Look up Zelko Concepts,” Kelley Smith writes. Fingers crossed the meatloaf isn’t leaving the ‘hood. Mytiburger is hiring The Oak Forest hamburger joint is looking for staff members to join their team. Call them at (713) 686-7078; 18 and older preferred.

Seeing Gogol Bordello on this year’s lineup made me instantly laugh and burst into song: “Start wearing purple, wearing purple. Start wearing purple for me now. All your insanity and wits they will all vanish, I promise. It’s just a matter of time.” Lyrics my sister and I adored and frolicked around the house dancing to. As soon as the Gypsy punk band strums the first note of the song, I can see the crowd dancing now, just like my sister and I did those years ago.
