A Fort Bend County Mayor and Coun- cil Association meeting included keynote speaker, Clifton Aldridge, mayor-pro tem of Weston Lakes and long-time member of the Fort Bend Subsidence District board of directors. Aldridge offered a detailed history of the district’s ongoing lawsuit with the cit- ies of Richmond and Rosenberg. He made no mention of Rosenberg’s recently announced effort to obtain wa- ter from the Brazosport Water Authority, though Precinct 1 Commissioner Richard Morrison did. Morrison gave opening remarks and summarized work going on in his precinct, adding in very brief fashion that he was heading to his son’s first football game. “I really wish I could stay, knowing what is about to happen,” he said. Moments prior to that comment Mor- rison said he wanted to congratulate Rosenberg Mayor Vincent M. Morales Jr. for his efforts with the Brazosport Water Authority. “He is going to have water,” Morrison said of Morales. “It’s not going to be cheap water, but it’s going to be the cheapest wa- ter in the county. “I think we are all familiar with the way that works. There’s no cheap water.” Other members of the subsidence dis- trict staff were also on hand, including Mike Turco, general manager, along with at least one member of the North Fort Bend Water Authority Board of Direc- tors, Pat Hebert. She is the wife of County Judge Bob Hebert, who also attended. A representative of the North Fort Bend Water Authority was present on Wednes- day at a meeting of the subsidence district and spoke in opposition to the BWA pro- posal being considered by Rosenberg. Morales was present at Thursday’s meeting, but did not speak. He said af- ter the meeting that the BWA effort rep- resents not only an alternative water supply, as explained in subsidence dis- trict rules, but it offers a “regional” water option that can meet the needs of several cities for years to come. Aldridge offered a history of the dis- trict’s efforts leading up to the lawsuit. He emphasized that communities in Fort Bend County have a history of working together. He said the district and cities must “move on so we can become embrac- ing friends again.” The district established its rules in 2003, he said, adding that they were amended in 2013. “Included in that definition was alterna- tive water supply. The cities of Rosenberg and Richmond were not satisfied with that particular definition and they felt that the board has exceeded its authority in estab- lishing that definition,” he explained. “And they sued the district…for ex- ceeding their authority,” he said. “Just last month it was amended. They changed (the suit) from the district to the 10 members of the board who had voted on the 2013 plan.” In 2013 the board amended the defini- tion of the three-word phrase, alternative water supply. It is at the heart of the de- bate between Rosenberg and the district. Aldridge said both sides met several times to come up with a settlement agreement. “We expect we are gong to be able to get this thing settled, hopefully to everyone’s satisfaction,” Aldridge said. BY DAVID EMSWILER [email protected] Jess Stuart of the T.W. Davis YMCA is all about “partnerships.” As the YMCA grows its “outreach” programs, it continues to join with school districts, apartment complexes and gov- ernmental entities to accomplish the task. That’s what he told Rosenberg Mayor Vincent M. Morales, Jr. and city council during a special meeting this week. But this is a larger story than just re- questing an increase to the $10,000 annual contribution Rosenberg gives the Y. The results speak for themselves with a plethora of programs being offered youth throughout the county during the summer months. Some have testified that the Y has changed their lives for the better. These efforts are undertaken over and above the programs offered at T.W. Davis’s primary campus in Richmond. Five “core values” are instilled in youth including caring, honesty, respect, respon- sibility and faith, Stuart said. The primary goal — to strengthen the foundations of community — is working, he said. Aquatic lessons and water safety class- es, referred to as Water Wise, are taught to more than 600 kids throughout the county. The Y takes certified lifeguards and swimming instructors to apartment com- plexes to instruct the youth as well as their parents. “The apartments don’t have a lifeguard. There is no one to save a kid who slips and falls in in the deep end,” Stuart said. Falcon Point and Victoria Gardens are two locations in Rosenberg where Water Wise classes have been taught. Stuart used a power point presentation to summarize summer youth programs and outreaches conducted throughout the county, including Barbara Jordan Park, Camp Cloud, as well as programs at Se- guin, Jane Long, Meyer, Taylor Ray and Jackson elementary schools. Camp Cloud sees more than 500 stu- dents per summer with swimming oppor- tunities, archery, camping, fishing, boating and more, he said, while flipping through photographs. A summer program at Taylor Ray served 65 students per day between June 9 and July 31. They also took part in metal detector skills, as well as orienteering, GPS, Geo- caching, and more, said Stuart. The outreach program at Jackson Ele- mentary was conducted for the first time — “straight out of the chute” — this sum- mer and a total of 45 youth took part each day. The students were also involved in the- atre arts as well as traditional arts, he said. Stuart said the Y found out that some kids at Falcon Point Apartments were get- ting into trouble because they did not have anything to do. The Y met with the man- ager, who donated the use of two units; 25 kids took part. “The next thing you know we have an outreach, “ he said. “That is how it starts and it has helped out, big time. So we are trying to take the Y out from 911 Thomp- son Highway. Stuart said the explosion in outreach programs is currently serving 1,505 youth and the campaign goal is $305,000. All council members gave overwhelm- ing positive responses and Morales asked Stuart if he was requesting a formal in- crease. Stuart said he making that request, af- ter which Morales and Stuart agreed that Y would come back to council with a rec- ommended contribution amount. HERALD STAFF It’s time to fly, again.

KENDLETON — Thursday night in Kendleton, it was as much about what did not happen as what did.

Obituaries

DALLAS (AP) — A parade of potential 2016 GOP presidential hopefuls will be on display at an influential conservative group’s annual summit.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, Ken-tucky Sen. Rand Paul and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence are appearing Friday at a gathering of Ameri-cans for Prosperity in Dallas.

On Saturday, the crowd at the Koch brothers-backed event will hear from tea party-backed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

For months Cruz has starred at many conservative grassroots gatherings around the country, but he’ll be competing for atten-tion this weekend.

Perry’s favorability outside Texas has climbed since his in-dictment on two felony counts of abuse of power. Paul, meanwhile, has hired staff in Iowa, which opens presidential voting.

And Pence may get a bump be-cause some of his ex-staffers now work for Koch Industries.

Fort Bend County Indictments

Walkers and civic-minded people from Rosenberg, Richmond and all other corners of Fort Bend County will come together at Constellation Field for The Alzheimer’s Association’s annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Walk Committee volunteers Helen Curd, left, and Kerry Dannecker flank host Mayor James Thompson of Sugar Land to promote the event.

Calling all cities: Walk to End Alzheimer’s approaching

The Alzheimer’s Association is inviting Fort Bend residents to unite in a movement to reclaim the future for millions by partici-pating in the Alzheimer’s Associa-tion Walk to End Alzheimer’s.

Constellation Field will be the site of the walk at 8 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 18.

People can start or join a team at alz.org/walk.

Alzheimer’s disease is now the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death, according to the associa-tion.

As baby boomers age, the num-ber of individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease will rapidly escalate, increasing well beyond today’s more than 5 million Amer-icans living with Alzheimer’s, the group says.

In addition to the 5K, par-ticipants will be afforded fami-ly-friendly entertainment and tributes to those who have experi-enced or are experiencing Alzhei-mer’s.

“There has never been a great-er need for the citizens of Fort Bend to join in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease by partic-ipating in Walk to End Alzhei-mer’s,” said Richard Elbein, CEO of the Alzheimer’s Associa-

tion’s Houston/Southeast Texas chapter.

“Funds raised will provide care and support services to the increasing number of residents in Texas living with Alzhei-mer’s, while also contributing to advancing critically-needed research.”

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the nation’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for Alzhei-

mer’s care, support and research.The Alzheimer’s Association

is a worldwide voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research.

Its mission is to eliminate Alz-heimer’s disease through the ad-vancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promo-tion of brain health.

Alzheimer’s Walk is Oct. 18

The First Amendment

It’s Elmo’s world…

Seeking a solution to racial inequality

And at my house, we’re just living in it

Police being militarized all over nation

YMCA thrives on area partnerships

With Attorney General Eric Holder personally overseeing the investigation into what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, the wheels of justice have begun to move, however slowly.

The underlying problems re-main of an African-American p o p u l a t i o n that feels ne-glected and marginalized, and not just in this suburb of St. Louis, but t h ro u g h o u t the country.

And it be-gins in our s e g r e g a t e d schools.

We have a black presi-dent, and a black attorney general, and a black patrolman heading the police response in Ferguson, yet the disparities persist. President Obama, speaking from the White House briefing room last week, acknowledged that the U.S. has an unequal criminal justice system.

The pattern emerges early with 4- and 5-year-old boys of color sus-pended far more often than their white counterparts. America’s prisons are disproportionately filled with black men. In the world that most African-Americans experience, they rarely get the

benefit of the doubt in any police altercation.

Until we address the smolder-ing anger that has surfaced in Fer-guson, there will be more instanc-es like we are seeing with black lives on the line, and white leaders not knowing what to do. Ensuring justice and keeping the peace are the first priorities, but then we need to get serious as a country about addressing the root causes of the unrest.

The place to start is our schools, and with a commitment to educate the least among us. Obama has tried to equalize the delivery of education through the awarding of federal funds, but he is fighting against an entrenched education system that rivals the criminal justice system in its unfair treat-ment of the people they are sup-posed to serve.

Go into any city in America and compare the schools in the white parts of town with those in the black areas, and there before your eyes is the story of two Americas. Indeed, the mere fact that we even refer to white and black parts ac-knowledges the defacto segrega-tion that is America.

President Obama and President Bush before him have repeatedly said that young African-American children want to learn, they want to succeed, and all they’re asking for is a chance to do that. Bush talk-

ed about the “soft bigotry of low expectations,” as he worked with the Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., to push through “No Child Left Be-hind” legislation. Obama has his “My Brother’s Keeper” initiative, which leverages private funds and corporate involvement to boost opportunities for boys and young men of color.

“No Child Left Behind” has been criticized for its emphasis on test-ing, and Obama’s Education Sec-retary Arne Duncan has worked with school systems to introduce more flexibility. Duncan has also instituted more competition with “Race to the Top” contests that pit school systems against each other to win federal grants. “Race to the Top” gets mixed reviews, but in an era of tight resources, it may be the only spigot available.

Bottom line, however well-in-tentioned these programs are, they are little more than band aids. As a society, we are not doing what should be done to solve the problem. We need to support, pro-tect and teach the most vulnerable children, and that means schools in black communities that are state-of-the-art, increased pay for those schools’ teachers, and secu-rity measures to keep them safe.

Douglas Cohn writes his syndi-cated column in partnership with Eleanor Clift.

Like many of you growing up, I was a big fan of Sesame Street, along with Big Bird, Ernie, Bert, Oscar the Grouch and Cookie Monster. But Elmo wasn’t around yet.

Today, Elmo steals the show and is the most popular char-acter. All you have to do is ask my two-year-old twins Blake and Ju-lia.

Their fa-vorite show is Sesame Street and favorite character is the lovable, lit-tle red Muppet monster with the orange nose. He speaks in a falsetto voice and re-fers to himself in the third person.

Elmo has remained a constant three-and-a-half years old, and has a good message for toddlers. He talks about respecting your el-ders, saying thank you and giving lots of hugs and kisses.

Blake and Julia love him so much they don’t even call the show “Sesame Street.” To them it’s “Elmo.”

The reason my generation didn’t grow up with Elmo is be-cause he wasn’t introduced until the late 1970s as a background character (which also means we’re getting old).

Elmo evolved through several puppeteers on the Sesame Street staff, and the character eventually found its voice.

As you may remember, Elmo increased his profile into popu-lar culture in the 1990s when he made a number of guest appear-ances on television shows and the “Best of Elmo” videos were released.

That led to the Tickle Me Elmo toy becoming one of the most popular presents during the 1996 Christmas season. Today, he has the “Elmo’s World” segment on

each Sesame Street episode.Between about a half-dozen

DVDs and our “On Demand” ca-ble channel, we can watch Sesame Street over and over. The twins never seem to get tired of reruns. But they started watching so much Sesame Street that we decid-ed to limit their screen time to one hour a day (at least until football season starts this weekend).

When we had Blake and Julia’s birthday party last weekend, it was easy to decide which kind of cake to have — an Elmo cake, of course. I thought my wife Laura knew about a bakery that made them, but I forgot I’m married to the baking queen.

She bought an Elmo mold and baked the cake along with step-daughter Ella. Then they meticu-lously applied the icing — red for Elmo’s face, orange for his nose and black and white for his eyes and mouth. Not only was the cake a work of art and a hit with the kids, but it also was delicious (see photo).

In addition to Elmo bringing

my children such joy, he’s become one of my favorites ever since he helped me out with a big problem a few months ago. Blake and Julia were raising a ruckus every night when we put them to bed. Our rule was we wouldn’t let them scream and cry for more than 15 min-utes before we would go rub their backs or rock them.

As you might imagine, this was wearing us out. Then I saw a book that was given to Blake and Julia called, “Time for Bed, Elmo!”

Since we read to them every night before bed, it dawned on me the Elmo book should be the last one we read before putting them in their cribs. If it’s cool for Elmo to go to bed, we hoped it would be cool for them, too.

We got lucky, and the book worked. We read it to them every night, and they usually go right to sleep without any fuss.

Elmo, you’re the man!

We may eventually know the actual facts in the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown by policeman Darren Wilson in the Missouri town of Ferguson, but the widely publicized full-scale war on pro-testers there by the police has finally begun to alert Amer-icans of all backgrounds to the mil-itarization of law en-forcement in many areas of our na-tion.

Constitutional lawyer John Whitehead, founder and presi-dent of civil liberties defender The Rutherford Institute, has been reporting often on this ag-grandizement of our police:

“This is not just happening in Ferguson. It’s happening and will happen anywhere and ev-erywhere else in this country where law enforcement officials are given carte blanche to do what they like, when they like, how they like, with immunity from their superiors, the legisla-tors and the courts ...

“We’ve not only brought the military equipment used in Iraq and Afghanistan home to be used against the American peo-ple. We’ve also brought the very spirit of the war home.”

Also commenting on police militarization is Walter Olson of the Cato Institute:

“Why armored vehicles in a Midwestern inner suburb? Why would cops wear camou-flage gear against a terrain pat-terned by convenience stores and beauty parlors? Why are the authorities in Ferguson so given to quasi-martial crowd control methods (such as bans on walk-ing on the street) and, per the reporting of Riverfront Times,

the firing of tear gas at people in their own yards?”

Olson added: “The dominant visual aspect of the story, how-ever, has been the sight of over-powering police forces confront-ing unarmed protesters who are seen waving signs or just their hands.”

Meanwhile, in a recent op-ed in Time, senator and possi-ble 2016 presidential candidate Rand Paul noted: “There is a systemic problem with today’s law enforcement. Not surpris-ingly, big government has been at the heart of the problem. Washington has incentivized the militarization of local police pre-cincts by using federal dollars to help municipal governments build what are essentially small armies — where police depart-ments compete to acquire mil-itary gear that goes far beyond what most ... Americans think of as law enforcement.”

This is usually done in the name of fighting the war on drugs or terrorism.

The Department of Homeland Security has handed out anti-ter-rorism grants to cities and towns across the country, enabling them to buy armored vehicles, guns, armor, aircraft and other equipment.

Federal agencies of all stripes, as well as local police depart-ments in towns with populations less than 14,000, come equipped with SWAT teams and heavy ar-tillery.

As George Zornick notes in The Nation, “Most of the candidates likely to contend for the presiden-cy in 2016 have been silent.”

But Rand Paul has a lot to say, including:

“Americans must never sac-rifice their liberty for an illusive and dangerous, or false, securi-ty. This has been a cause I have championed for years, and one that is at a near-crisis point in our country.”

Reading that, I’m looking at

the photograph accompanying Paul’s column. A mother and her tiny child in Ferguson are hold-ing signs nearly covered by tear gas: “Stop killing us.”

Rand Paul’s messages are reaching places that hitherto have not paid much attention to him. For instance, in the Aug. 20 New York Post, columnist Jacob Sullum wrote:

“He is challenging members of his own party to rethink their reflexive support of law enforce-ment and tough-on-crime poli-cies.”

Sullum cited this sentence from Paul’s op-ed: “There is a legitimate role for the police to keep the peace, but there should be a difference between a po-lice response and a military re-sponse.”

Sullum continued: “Paul went further, encouraging Repub-licans (and, I add, all of us) to consider what it feels like to be on the receiving end of excessive police force and excessive crimi-nal punishment.”

Again, Sullum quoted this line from Paul: “Given the racial disparities in our criminal jus-tice system, it is impossible for African-Americans not to feel like their government is particu-larly targeting them. This is part of the anguish we are seeing in the tragic events outside of St. Louis, Missouri.”

Sullum wrote: “We’re not used to hearing Republicans say that sort of thing. But it happens to be true, and Paul, who in March 2013 introduced a bill that would effectively abolish the federal government’s mandatory min-imum sentences, is trying to do something about it.”

I, for one, hope Rand Paul will be a 2016 candidate for the presi-dency, and we may have a chance to get our Constitution back.

Syndicated columnist Nat Hen-toff is a senior fellow with the Cato Institute.

Jess Stuart of the T.W. Davis YMCA is all about “partnerships,” we learned recently at a meeting of Rosenberg City Council.

We agree. He is. And so are the YMCA efforts, which are growing.

Stuart and the YMCA represent a good example of proactive, positive activity involving youth.

And what once cost $100,000 to do, because only half the number of youth were being reached, now costs in excess of $300,000.

We would question those large numbers except for the fact that the proof of the pudding is in the eat-ing.

The number of “outreach” pro-grams being created and established in our county is impressive.

The folks at the Y are not just holed up at their fantastic facilities in Richmond; they are reaching out to schools, to apartment complexes to the county as a whole.

The results speak for themselves with programs ranging from camps, to aquatic lessons, art and theater programs, music, sports and so

As Calvary Episcopal Prepa-ratory kindergarten students washed their hands in prepara-tion to decorating gingerbread cookies, “Gingerbread Boy” of literary fame apparently took all the cookies — and sent them on a scavenger hunt around the school.

Students followed clues that Gingerbread Boy had left, taking them around the school to differ-ent rooms and people.

Eventually their scavenger hunt ended in their classroom — where Gingerbread Boy had returned their cookies.

For one week, Saturday night’s alright for football at Traylor Stadium. Lamar Con-solidated will play its only Sat-urday game of the season this week, hosting Houston Westside to open the 2014 campaign.

Lamar head coach Ronald Patton is pleased with how his team looked in last week’s scrimmage and where the Mus-tangs sit heading into Week 1.

“I feel good from the stand-point we played with a chip on our shoulder,” Patton said. “We made some mistakes in assign-ments as expected but it was good to see guys playing fast on both sides of the ball.”

One notable change for the Mustangs will be at quarter-back. Lamar will be replacing three-year starter Scott No-

havitza with a rotation of play-ers this season.

“We feel like we have a couple of guys who can operate our of-fense well,” Patton said. “They bring different things to the table. Both guys will play, how much and who gets the majority of the reps will depend on the flow of the game and the pro-duction of each.”

The Wolves are picked to fin-ish third in District 20-6A and have talent on both sides of the ball. Under center for Westside will be tall passer Nathan Drury, but the focus of the offense will be at running back.

Westside features 20-6A’s leading returning rusher in Lo-ren Easley. The talented back rushed for 1,095 yards last sea-son and 15 TDs.

“Easley’s very talented,” Pat-ton said. “Running the ball, his numbers speak for themselves.

He catches the ball well out of the backfield too which adds more stress on a defense. He’s definitely the catalyst over there and we have to swarm to him be-fore he gets started.”

The Wolves defense could be the strength of the team. Westside features a powerful defensive line, including two space-eating linemen in Ethan Horne and Jordan Elliot.

“Their interior guys are huge, and it’s hard to simulate the speed of their two defensive ends,” Patton said. “Fortunately, we have two DE that are equally as talented so we got good looks throughout the week from that standpoint.

“Getting movement on their big boys is something we take pride in around here. It’ll be a battle of wills in the trenches and I know our guards and tack-les will be up for the challenge.”

Volleyball tournament roundup

BY GARY [email protected]

SUGAR LAND — Travis had its opportunities Thursday night.

Both teams played like it was a first game, as turnovers marred the season opener.

But Travis did very little with the four gifts Seven Lakes gave it and the Spartans used its running game to pull away with a 27-16 victory at Mercer Stadium.

Travis had four possessions inside Spartan territory in the first half, but came up empty each time. Two possessions came courtesy of fumble recov-eries by Miguel Mora and Jason Short within an 80-second span early in the first quarter.

After a sloppy first quarter that saw three turnovers and no points, the Spartans settled down and jumped on top just 48 seconds in to the second quar-ter on a 1-yard run by Braeden West. West scored on runs

covering 56 and 8 yards in the second half, finishing with 162 yards on 28 carries.

Senior wide receiver Steven Sims single-handedly kept Tra-vis in the game in the first half. Sims finished with 220 all-pur-pose yards on just nine touches.

After Seven Lakes took the lead, Sims took the ensuing kickoff up the middle, cut right and raced down the sideline 90 yards for the tying touchdown.

Seven Lakes took the lead again with 25 seconds left in the

half on a 25-yard pass from Cam-eron Thomas to Bryan Moore, capping a 14-play, 83-yard drive.

Sims returned the kickoff 63 yards before he was brought down by a host of Spartans at the 29. But with just 15 seconds left, the Tigers could not take ad-vantage of the run back, leaving the field down 14-7 at the break.

After Jeremiah Osei’s pick resulted in no points, Travis converted a Darius Doakes in-terception into an Emmanuel Atoyebi 8-yard TD run with 2:45

left, cutting the deficit to 21-14.Travis’ final two points came

on Adam Beck’s return of a blocked extra point with 28 sec-onds left.

Tiger quarterback Cody Cun-ningham was constantly under duress from the Spartan pass rush and finished with 83 yards and an interception on 8-of-21 passing.

D.J. Gauthier led the running game with 60 yards on 10 carries as Travis finished with just 164 yards total offense.

Mistakes, inability to convert doom Tigers in opener

Rangers veer away from CougarsBY DAVID [email protected]

It was like Christmas morn-ing for Terry head coach Tim Teykl. His Rangers opened 2014 with a bang Thursday at Guy K. Traylor Stadium, beating Col-lege Station 35-19 in non-district play.

“It’s like you’ve got a pres-ent under the tree,” Teykl said. “You’re scared as heck to open it because it might be coal or a box of switches. I was pleased.”

Last season, Terry only topped 35 points twice. The Rangers beat Bay City 70-14 a week after topping Brazosport 69-14. Thurs-day’s victory also marks the fourth straight season that Ter-ry has won its season opener.

The Ranger offense was par-ticularly effective, running the

split veer option attack to per-fection. The Rangers gained 422 rushing yards on 55 carries, but left some yards on the ta-ble. Teykl hopes to get his team in better condition, so they can take advantage of more oppor-tunities.

“We’re not in shape and we need to use this,” Teykl said. “Maybe we’ll be luck to do some things. There’s a lot of things we have to fix. A Thursday night game gives us a chance to work on things. We have to go to get into shape. We have to, because that’s the only way I know to avoid injuries. We have to do that. We’re not deep.”

Terry got on the board quick-ly. After forcing a three-and-out on College Station’s first series, the Cougars muffed the punt and gave the ball back at their own

22. Two plays later, Drake James ran in from 7 yards to score the season’s first points for Lamar CISD.

Unfortunately, on the next se-ries, James was shaken up on a 6-yard run and came out of the game for a time. That put in sophomore backup QB Vonte Da-vis, who rotated with James for the rest of the game.

That wasn’t plan heading into Thursday night, but Teykl was pleased with the results.

“We had a lot of things hap-pen,” Teykl said. “Coming out of the scrimmage, we made the decision to move Vonte up. One of the reasons was to help us out on defense. One of our outside linebackers got hurt the week before, so it was a domino effect. Drake did a good job moving the ball around.”

Michael Maxwell might have shown that iron man spirit, in-tercepting College Station’s Cole Whittlesey in the second quarter before ripping off a 41-yard run on the next series.

Maxwell was one of six Terry backs to get carries, but was by far the most effective. The senior had 18 carries for 171 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, junior running back Brandon Foster scored on three of his seven carries, gaining 71 yards on the night.

Two other Terry backs went over 70 yards, as quarterback

Drake James (14 carries, 70 yards) and Neilson Williams (10 carries, 81 yards) rounded out the group.

Teykl’s split veer offense makes it hard for young teams like College Station to contain on every play, leading to plenty of big plays.

“They went to an odd-man front,” Teykl said. “You pray for that with the veer, because it was made to beat that front. Famine, famine, feast. That’s what you get from this offense. It’s like novocaine. Give it time and it’ll pay off.”

SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 2014Surround yourself with colleagues who are as devoted as you are. They will assist you in charting the right course of action to reach your profes-sional goals. Problems have a way of multiplying if given the chance, so you should deal with any troublesome issues as quickly as possible. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you follow someone else, you won’t get much done. Choose the most impor-tant item on your to-do list and take care of it. Your actions will speak vol-umes about your efficiency.LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Stop pro-crastinating and put in extra hours or-ganizing your personal papers. Once you have that out of the way, you will be able to set a workable budget. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Un-certainty in a relationship should be dealt with by having a heart-to-heart talk. An act of aggression or anger will only make the situation worse and put distance between you and the other person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You are likely to be hurt if you are too revealing. Pouring out your emo-tions will put you in a vulnerable posi-tion. Keep personal or private details to yourself. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A partnership or collaboration will be successful if you are honest about your intentions. Sharing with the peo-ple who influence your life the most will lead to a positive change. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Conflicting information is likely to lead to confusion. It’s well worth your while to sort it out before the situation spins out of control. Don’t jeopardize your position by ignoring what’s go-ing on.PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Let feelings of affection flourish. Find a creative way to let someone know how much you care. An innovative idea can turn into a prosperous pas-time. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You will be the person everyone leans on. Look after those who need your help, but don’t lose sight of your own needs. Patience will be required.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Bare your heart to someone you care about. The way you express your feelings will show how committed you are to doing your very best. Overreacting will work against you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Take part in an event concerning a cause you feel strongly about. You will gain

a feeling of satisfaction for taking a stand. You can and will make a dif-ference. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- De-velop creative ideas and share your discoveries. You will have a chance to meet someone who will have an impact on your future at a social or networking event.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A change will turn out much better than you an-ticipate, but don’t expect everyone to back your plans. If a confrontation is festering, take a step back and prepare for the duel.
