Taste of Katy Tailgate a Success for Katy School ChildrenLarge crowds came to sample the food and drink

of some of the great restaurants and pubs in Katy at the Taste of Katy Tailgate, August 20, from 5:00-9:00 p.m. in the parking lot at 814 East Avenue at 1st Avenue in Old Katy. Participating restaurants included D’Amico’s Italian Market Cafe, Babin’s Seafood House, Baker St. Pub & Grill, Hasta la Pasta, Crawfish Café, Da Vinci Ristorante Italiano, The Cellar Door, No Label Brewing Co, Zoes Kitchen, What’s Poppin Popcorn, Chick Fil A, Los Cucos, Midway Barbeque, Wright’s of Texas Salsa and Snowdog Ice Cream (truck).

Live music entertainment was provided by the Rankin Twins and the Justin Van Sant Band. Johnny B with KSBJ Radio broadcast live from the Tailgate party. The kids had inflatables, face painting, games and balloon artists. Katy ISD student groups helped out at the different booths.

The best part of Taste of Katy Tailgate was that it was all free because of the generous donations of Katy area restaurants, and it was underwritten by the Matt Schomburg State Farm Agency. Tailgaters were requested to bring a backpack and/or school supplies that would be distributed to needy children in Katy ISD schools.

Schomburg, the outgoing chairman of the Katy Family YMCA visited with event planner, Gerri Ayers, president of Ayers Meetings & Events and a board member emeritus of the Katy Family YMCA

and board member of the YMCA of greater Houston, to discuss planning an event to kick-off the school year, bring the community together, and collect back packs and school supplies for Katy area students in need.

“The more we talked about it the more we became excited about bringing something big to the community,” said Schomburg. “Old Katy is just a neat spot…the Rice Harvest Festival, the Katy Rodeo, and the Katy Market Days. We just wanted to bring another event to this part of town, something that could bring people together every year to the area, and at the same time support a good cause. I have been blessed and I want to make sure I am passing that blessing forward.”

Schomburg and Ayers want to give a big thank you to all the restaurants, entertainment groups, other merchants and different clubs/organizations that participated. Ayers said she and her team have had nothing but positive results and tremendous support. “It’s wonderful to see how willing our Katy community is to step up and support something together like this.”

Taste of Katy Tailgate plans for next year are already underway. Over 220 backpacks and several boxes full of school supplies were donated.

Schomburg matched the number of backpacks with a personal donation. “Next year we will be able to help even more children start the school year off right with the school supplies they need,” said Schomburg.

Help the Katy Prairie Conservancy (KPC) kick off the fall season with its Unplugged Adventure: “Rails in the Rice” on Sept. 20 from 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. at Nelson Farms Preserve on the Katy Prairie in far west Houston. KPC’s Unplugged Adventures are designed to get folks outside to explore the prairie.

Rice farms and rangelands are home to thousands of species of wildlife, including the rail, a bird which moves silently through rice paddies, thriving in marshy conditions. During this Unplugged Adventure, you might also spy egrets seeking insects among cow herds and frogs patiently waiting for prey along drainage ditches.

“September holds the promise of cooler weather and a host of fun outdoor activities,” says Mary Anne Piacentini, executive director of the Katy Prairie Conservancy. “Join us for ‘Rails in the Rice’ as we explore rice fields and cattle pastures looking for the colorful, amazing, and secretive lives of the

wildlife that thrive in these landscapes. It’s a perfect way to spend a Saturday evening with friends or family soaking up nature not far from the hustle and bustle of downtown Houston.”

Cost for the event is $3 per person. Guests are encouraged to bring water, insect repellent and cameras to capture nature shots. Suggested attire is close-toed shoes and long pants.

Pre-registration is required for “Rails in the Rice.” Go to katyprairie.org and click on the “Visit” tab to find “events.” Directions to Nelson Farms Preserve can be found on the website. If you are interested in being a volunteer group leader for this event, contact Jaime Gonzalez at 713-523-6135.

The Katy Prairie Conservancy is a nonprofit land trust dedicated to preserving an ecologically vital tallgrass prairie and associated wetlands area on Houston’s far west side for the enjoyment and benefit of all.

The Taste of Katy Tailgate, held in Old Town Katy, helped provide backpacks and school supplies for Katy ISD students who might not have been able to start the school year with all the supplies they needed. Pictured are key people involved in putting the event together: Johnny B with KSBJ, Matt and Heather Schomburg, Allyson Decator and Gerri Ayers with Ayers Meetings and Events, and Brian Haines, Vice President of the Katy Family YMCA.

The King Rail can be found on the Katy Prairie. Sign up for Katy Prairie Conservancy’s September Unplugged Adventure “Rails in the Rice” on Sept. 20. Photo by Greg Lavaty.

‘As Above’ Makes You Squirm Don’t go down there.

“As Above, So Below” is a relentlessly stressful horror flick in the model of a classic haunted house B-movie, with a twist. A ragtag group of explorers, led by an obsessive young archaeologist named Scarlett (Perdita Weeks), is spelunking into the recesses of the catacombs beneath Paris, searching for a magical doodad. The further down they get, the more obvious it becomes that they’re descending into hell itself. This begets predicament. Shot by cameras carried and worn by the players — they’re making a documentary, so the found-footage gimmick so popular in schlocky, low-budget horror movies at least makes some sense here — “As Above, So Below” wedges you, the viewer, into ever-tighter, ever-freakier holes and crannies. Once the sympathetic claustrophobia kicks in, virtually anything that happens is scary as all get-out. It’s a cheap thrill, yes, but a thrill all the same.

Director John Erick Dowdle and his brother, Drew Dowdle, also wrote the screenplay. They relied heavily on lines like “We just have to keep going,” and slight variations. The trick is building a lead so monomaniacal that Scarlett will persevere even when, say, tunnels of bones collapse around them, or when everyone seems to be sharing grisly hallucinations. The others in the makeshift treasure-hunting party — a boyfriendy translator, a documentarian and three hired Parisian underworld Sherpas — ought to know better than to continue following. Yet this is a mousetrap of clever construction. This labyrinth filled with generations of French corpses keeps contorting and closing up behind our travelers. Offered the choice between quitting and continuing deeper into an escalating black maze of creepy awfulness, the only logical choice, as stupefying as it often seems, turns out to be the latter.

Dowdle does a serviceable job coaxing naturalistic performances out of his cast, all relative no-names whose acting credits include a lot of television, if that. The pace doesn’t slack, even during stretches that could mostly be deemed “slow,” if in fact six people weren’t continuing to

traipse further into an endless cave. Speed helps us move past the spotty logic. Why the hell did they just do that? Oh, who cares, because they’re already onto something else.

Even the mystical Christianity that propels much of the quasi-supernatural scares starts to make more sense as the movie trips further down the world’s nastiest rabbit hole. Momentum alone can make up for a fair heaping of jibberish.

The tight confines and the hopelessness of burrowing further into shrinking caverns recalls another tight little horror movie of recent vintage, “The Descent.” Unlike that spectacle, “As Above, So Below” doesn’t belabor the physical torment of its characters; gore stays to a minimum, befitting such obvious influences as the Indiana Jones canon and “The Blair Witch Project.” Dowdle knows that in the pitch dark, visuals are often less f r i g h t e n i n g than mere imag ina t ion , which he feeds amply with some of the best sound effects you’ll come across in this genre. The

sound of a ringing phone, eerie singing, the low rumble of earth and of — are those human voices? Perhaps livestock? — other faraway noises, thrumming up through the ground, adds to the sense of doom constricting our terrified explorers. Horror purists aren’t likely to care much for the ending, but as they stagger back out into the light of day, they will feel a sense of relief that at least they’re not lost 400 feet beneath Paris anymore.

In the week leading into the start of District 19-6A volley ball competition, Cinco Ranch and Seven Lakes are battling for top honors. Cinco Ranch leads with a 17-3-0; Seven Lakes has a 14-8-0 record at this edition deadline.

Seven Lakes players lead in two categories: Maggie O’Connel leads in Hitting Percentage with an average of .494 and Camille Conner in Assists and Serving Aces, .404. Corin Evans for Cinco Ranch has the lead in Attacks-Kills at .174 over Michaela Daniels of Seven Lakes, .129. It’s a close battle for supremacy in the district.

“We played them (Seven Lakes) in the beginning of the season,” said Cougar head coach, Danielle Wells, “in the Katy ISD tournament and beat them in one of the bracket games, 3-1.”

Corin Evans was on varsity last year as a sophomore. “She is overall an amazing athlete,” said Wells, “very strong. She isn’t just a one sport athlete. She is also very good at basketball, actually her first sport. She could go play any sport and do well in it. On the court she wants the ball in tight situations. She’s

a great hitter and plays all the way round for us, front row and back row.”

The Lady Cougar pre-district schedule had to be readjusted from what it was last year.

“When they realigned everybody, some districts started earlier than last year, we had to drop some teams that we played in pre-seasons past who are normally pretty good teams.

“This year I had to pick up some games with different teams. I had to pick up some games with different schools we never played before such as Elkins and Houston Lamar. Elkins and Lamar are good teams, but the competition level could be a little stronger for us. I feel maybe our record is maybe better because our preseason may not be as strong as their (Seven Lakes) preseason.”

The Lady Cougars begin district play on Sept. 12 against Mayde Creek Rams. “Last year their varsity was young and Coach Miller retired; they have a new coach.” The Rams pre-season record is 2-14-0. Seven Lakes opens on Sept. 12 at Seven Lakes against Tompkins High School, a newcomer to varsity volleyball. Tompkins record is 2-8-0.

Cinco Ranch and Seven Lakes Battling For Top Place as District Competition BeginsBy Tom Behrens

KICKOFF TO SEASON 2014 Week 1

“The game gave our kids who haven’t played a varsity football game a chance to see the speed of the game. Now that everyone knows where they are at, they can improve and make us a better football team for the rest of the season; we needed the experience,” Coach Gary Joseph told The Katy News.

“Our offensive line is inexperienced right now, young and made some mistakes,” Coach Joseph continued. “Not a conglomerate of things, but little mistakes here and there that affected the execution of our running game and our offense. We will have to throw the ball more this year.”

Week 2Cinco Ranch came into the game with Jersey Village

with a 10-0 record against CFISD in the regular season dating back to 2008, primarily against Cy Ranch, Cy Ridge and Cy Springs.

The Jersey Village Falcons in their debut against Cinco Ranch spoiled the Cougars unbeaten string.

Backup kicker, Jordan Henderson’s field goal attempt with four seconds left on the clock gave the Falcons the victory. Jersey Village head coach David Snokhous said his regular kicker, Garcia was unavailable for the kick, but now it’s good to know he has two capable players at that position.

In a game that had four lightning weather delays beginning before the game even started and continuing into the first quarter, senior running back, Braeden West of the Seven Lakes Spartans displayed his own kind of lightning. After the kickoff to start the game, West raced 70 yards down the west sideline for his first

touchdown of the night. He went on to add four more of the seven Seven Lakes touchdowns in a convincing 51-6 rout of the Fort Bend Austin Bulldogs at Rhoades Stadium, Sept 5.

West said he had lots of support from his offensive line, “a lot of good openings I could get through, and I was hoping I wouldn’t get caught. I can’t speak highly enough about our offensive line. They’re getting better every day.

“Last week I know we didn’t play at the level we could have played,” continued West. The Spartans defeated Fort Bend Travis, 27-16. “We had a lot of people out. This week we did a little better, but there is a lot we can improve on.”

To complete the Seven Lakes scoring, Batchlor Johnson intercepted an Austin pass and went in from 28 yards; Cameron Thomas scored on a 5 yard run; James Brown raced through the Austin defenders for 52 yards, and Jeff Riney had a 27 yard field goal. Nathan Farewell accounted for five of the Spartan PATs; Blake Burchard had one.

Tristen Hibbeler started his first varsity game at quarterback and completed 5 of 11 passes for a total of 56 yards. “Tristen just needs some reps and he will get better,” said Spartan head coach,

Lydell Wilson.Shamond Thompson scored the lone Bulldog touchdown from one

yard out in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter; kick failed.In the pre-game interview Wilson said the Spartans’ offensive

play against Fort Bend Travis last week was a little sloppy with

turnovers early on in the game, but the defense stepped up and made plays.

In the Travis game, Bryan Sturges had an interception; Junior Henderson, Tommy Brown were leading tacklers and Caleb Valentine, Blake Yorloff and Batchlor Johnson caused havoc in the secondary

The Spartan defense got even better against Fort Bend Austin allowing a measly 50 yards rushing up until the fourth quarter when Wilson gave second team players some game experience. Total yards rushing for Austin was 102.

In the Austin game, middle linebacker, Tommy Brown, continued his mastery of opponents offensive efforts. “I know I had two tackles that resulted in yardage losses in the third quarter, and probably 8-10 tackles for the night,” said Brown. “They (Bulldogs) had 3 and outs just about every offensive series up until late in the fourth quarter when we put the 2’s in.”

Coach Wilson said after the Travis game, improvement in the Spartan special teams play was the biggest concern. “Big improvement…we made a couple of changes, brought up Nathan Farewell from the JV team to do some kicking. In his first game he did an excellent job. Austin’s starting field position on kick-offs was at the 20 yard line or less. He did a great job on field goals and extra points.

“We definitely played better than last week,” continued Wilson, “but there still are a lot of errors we need to correct. We can run the ball, we just need to throw the ball a little better, hit the open guys. Hibbeler missed some passes early on but overall he did a good job. He stayed in the pocket and made some throws. Our receivers dropped a couple balls that should have been caught. The defense set the offense up nicely through the games.

A group of students from Cinco Ranch High School’s robotics Team 624 (“CRyptonite”) recently showed off three of their robots to team sponsor ConocoPhillips’ employees and their children at the company’s annual Bring the Future to Work day.

With their demo set up in the company’s gym, the students had plenty of room to show the shooting and maneuvering skills of their robots which were used during the past three FIRST® (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Robotics Competition seasons. Each robot was designed and built by CRyptonite students working alongside adult mentors to perform tasks specific to each season’s game. The 2014 robot, “Sidewinder” shoots large exercise balls, while “Thor” (2013) fires Frisbees and “Panzer” (2012) shoots foam basketballs.

Under the supervision of CRyptonite team members, ConocoPhillips employees and their children were able to drive the robots and shoot balls and Frisbees and play catch with the robots. The CRyptonite students were also on hand to answer questions, and to talk about the team and FIRST robotics.

ConocoPhillips has been a sponsor of Team 624 since 2011.

Katy ISD Board of Trustees Meeting Summary: August 2014By Henry Dibrell, Vice President Katy ISD Board of Trustees

Katy ISD is an exceptional district with much to be thankful for. Each year we see our students strive for, and achieve excellence in academics, athletics, fine arts and more. Creating an environment that encourages student success is attributed to the continued dedication from our teachers, parents, volunteers, business partners and community members.

Each month, the Board gets the privilege to celebrate students and staff members for achieving excellence, and during the August Board of Trustees Meeting, we recognized more than 30 students for their recent academic and athletic accomplishments. Among those recognized were the Cinco Ranch High School Robotics Team 624 for winning the Texas Robot Roundup Tournament and achieving national ranking status, the junior high students who received Grand Recognition as part of the Duke TIP program, and our All-American Swimmers.

Also during our recognitions portion of the evening, Chief Financial Officer Christopher J. Smith accepted an award on behalf of Katy ISD for achieving Platinum Award level status as part of the Texas Comptroller’s Leadership Circle Program. New this year, the Texas Comptroller enhanced the Leadership Circle Program by spotlighting entities that meet an even higher standard of financial transparency by adding this Platinum Award level. It’s an honor to be part of a District that is not only dedicated to academic success, but also to providing financial transparency.

As a new school year begins, I look forward to many more celebrations from our students, thanks to the quality programs, staff and dedicated community in Katy. Together, we will ensure our students are prepared for the future.

The Katy Family YMCA and The Fellowship at Cinco Ranch recently announced lead sponsors for the 12th annual Turkey Dash to be held November 27, 2014. The YMCA Turkey Dash is Katy’s premiere fun run and a Thanksgiving Day tradition for thousands of Katy area families.

Returning as the event’s Presenting Sponsor is Reliant, an NRG company. Other lead sponsors include Grand Vision, UnitedHeathcare, Texas Children’s Hospital West Campus and Cram Crew.

The event was the brainchild of leaders from the Y and the church wishing to organize a large-scale holiday event to promote community bonding. Now the Turkey Dash has grown into a well-recognized, highly-anticipated community Holiday kickoff celebration.

Race day highlights include awards in age categories for the 10K and 5K. The post race party features door prizes, refreshments and games as well as a Kids Fun Zone complete with a rock wall, moonwalks, games and more.

With four events to choose from, there’s something for everyone; a Kids Fun Run, a 10K, 5K and a 1 Mile Walk/Run. New additions for the 2014 event include tech shirts for the first 1,000 10K race registrants and a costume contest. All races start on Peek Road near the Katy YMCA located at 22807 Westheimer Parkway, one block off the Grand Parkway in Cinco Ranch.

Registration is now open with early bird pricing through October 31. For more information regarding participating, sponsoring or volunteering for the event, visit www.ymcaturkeydash.org or call 281-392-5055.
