SJC, Pasadena ISD to offer free tuition At its December meeting, the San Jacinto College Board of Trustees agreed to partici-pate in the Harris County Promise program, a collaboration between SJC and Pasadena ISD that allows many local students to attend the school at no charge. Also sponsored by Good Reason Houston, the program will begin next fall and is open to all current graduating seniors from Dobie, South Houston and Rayburn high schools. The college kicked off the new campaign this past week with pep rallies at all of the three partic-ipating campuses. “Our goal with Promise is to increase the number of students in our communities who pursue education past high school and to teach

families of potential � rst-generation students about the value of a college education,” said San Jacinto College Chancellor Brenda Helly-er. “With Promise, we plan to increase number of completers, reduce their time to degree, and ensure the economic viability of the families in our community.” The Harris County Promise program is available to all resident seniors, regardless of high school GPA or income. Eligible seniors who become Promise Scholars receive up to three years of guaranteed tuition and fees, as-sistance with books and additional support to help them complete their degrees. “All means all,” said SJC Vice Chancellor Dr. Allatia Harris, emphasizing the program’s

inclusiveness. Promise is a last-dollar scholarship pro-gram, meaning it kicks in only after all oth-er grant and scholarship funding has been ap-plied. Once all other funding sources have been applied, the remaining balance, if any, will be picked up by local donors, Harris said. To keep the scholarship, students must at-tend full-time (12 hours) during fall and spring semesters, continue to complete FAFSA or TASFA applications, and earn at least a 2.0 GPA. Students in the program have up to three years to complete an associate degree or other recognized credential. Of� cials are hoping to later expand the

Promise program to the remaining Pasadena ISD high school campuses. “In the future as we analyze the data and the impact of the program, we hope to expand this to other high schools in our taxing area,” said Hellyer. Students wishing to participate in the Prom-ise program must pledge to do so by Friday, Feb. 7; apply to the college by Friday, March 6; submit the FAFSA or TASFA by Friday, April 3; and complete all enrollment steps by Wednesday, July 15.

Dobie holds Promise pep rally

Dobie High School recently held a pep rally at the area campus to kick off its participa-tion in the Harris County Promise program. A collaboration with San Jacinto College, the Promise program allows participating students to attend SJC tuition-free. Also currently available at South Houston and Rayburn high schools, the program is open to all current graduating seniors. OfÞ cials hope to later expand the program to all PISD campuses.

Pct. 2 deputies battle local crime Deputies from the Harris County Precinct 2 Constable’s of� ce have kept busy as of late bat-tling crimes ranging from armed robbery to drug possession. Three separate local businesses along Scars-dale have been robbed at gunpoint since late De-cember. The � rst incident took place Tuesday, Dec. 24, at the Burger King in the 10900 block of Scars-

dale. The suspect was described as a black male standing approximately 6 feet tall. The remaining two robberies both took place the morning of Friday, Jan. 17, near the intersec-tion of Scarsdale and Beamer, with the Shell gas station and Food Town grocery store being tar-geted. While the suspect in both robberies was wearing a ski mask, it is unclear if the two inci- Continued on Page 2A

Garcia named impeachment manager On Wednesday, Jan. 15, House Speak-er Nancy Pelosi an-nounced that U.S. Rep. Sylvia Garcia, who represents much of the South Belt community, will serve as one of the seven Democratic law-makers who will pros-ecute the impeachment case against President Donald Trump in the Senate. These impeachment managers will act in a role similar to a prosecutor in a traditional criminal trial. “Honored to be one of seven House Im-peachment Managers who’ll be making the case to the American people,” Garcia tweeted Wednesday. “For me this is about upholding my oath of office. I take my responsibility seriously be-cause we’re working to defend our Constitu-tion at a pivotal moment in our democracy.”

The other impeachment officers are U.S. Reps. Adam Schiff of California; Jerry Nadler of New York; Zoe Lofgren of California; Ha-keem Jeffries of New York; Val Demings of Florida; and Jason Crow of Colorado. Schiff will lead the group. A graduate of Texas Southern University Law School, Garcia has a lengthy political history in the Houston area, serving in multi-ple capacities. “Before Congress, Ms. Garcia served in the Texas State Senate,” Pelosi said in a state-ment. “Previously, Ms. Garcia was the direc-tor and presiding judge of the Houston Munic-ipal System and was elected city controller. Ms. Garcia was later elected the first Hispanic and first woman to be elected in her own right to the Harris County Commissioner’s Court.” Trump is the third U.S. president to be im-peached by the House. To be officially removed from office, at least 2/3 of the Senate would need to vote in favor of the measure. No president has ever been removed from office by the Senate. HFD’s

Tyerto

retireLongtime South Belt resi-dent Clennis Tyer will retire from the Houston Fire De-partment on Saturday, Jan. 25, after serving for approx-imately 35 years. He will receive visitors at Station 70, located at 11410 Beam-er, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A 1979 Dobie graduate, Tyer began his career with HFD in 1985, working at many different stations in multiple positions, eventually climb-ing to the rank of district chief. Tyer will continue to serve with the Southeast Volunteer Fire Department, where he has also served since 1983. Photo submitted

Civic clubs to host constable forum Several local civic clubs and HOAs are spon-soring a candidate forum Wednesday, Feb. 12, at The Gardens, located at 12001 Beamer, to famil-iarize voters with those running for the position of Harris County Precinct 2 constable. A meet and greet will begin at 6:30 p.m., with the forum starting promptly at 7 p.m. Participating subdivisions include Sagemont, Ashley Pointe, Glenbrook Valley, Gulf Free-way Oaks, Kirkwood, Meadowbrook Freeway, Rainbow Valley, Riverstone Ranch, Sagemead-ow, Sagemont Park, Skyscraper Shadows, Park Place, Park Place Reveille and Scarsdale. The event is free and open to the public. While the forum was organized to educate residents of the South belt community, all Precinct 2 are wel-come to attend. All � ve candidates running for the position have been invited to the event. “We need all candidates to participate to pro-vide voters the opportunity to evaluate all of the contenders answering the same questions,” said Sagemont Civic Club President Kay Bar-bour. At press time, all had con� rmed to participate in the function except incumbent Chris Diaz, who claimed to have a scheduling con� ict. Orga-nizers offered to reschedule the event to accom-modate Diaz’s schedule but did not hear back from the current constable.

Democratic challengers for the position in-clude Jerry Garcia, George Goffney Jr. and Al-berto “Bert” Rivera. Daniel Vela is the lone Re-publican candidate in the race. Some organizers have expressed disappoint-ment in Diaz’s failure to respond, as they were hoping he might address the current legal allega-tions against him. (Diaz is currently being sued by 11 former employees who allege the consta-ble illegally required them to support his 2020 re-election campaign.) “In light of the allegations facing Chris Diaz, I am disappointed he is not participating in the forum but not surprised,” said Kirkwood Civic Club President Ericka McCrutcheon. “I guess the South Belt is not important enough to Diaz. If he cared about the state of the South Belt, then he would be there.” This sentiment is shared by local business owner and Sagemont Civic Club Treasurer Jeff Turnipseed. “Declining an opportunity to discuss the is-sues that matter the most to voters is a disservice to those voters,” Turnipseed said. Candidate questions are to be submitted in ad-vance to Sagemontcc@gmail.com. Primary Election Day is scheduled for Tues-day, March 3, with early voting beginning Tues-day, Feb. 18. The general election will take place Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Clennis Tyer to retire from HFD Longtime South Belt resident and local � re� ghter/paramedic Clennis Tyer will retire from the Houston Fire Department later this month after serving approximately 35 years on the force. The son of Ben and June Tyer, Clennis Tyer has lived in the area since 1977. After graduat-ing from Dobie High School in 1979, Tyer at-tended the newly opened San Jacinto College South, where he studied to be a paramedic, riding along with fellow longtime South Belt resident and � re� ghter/paramedic Dean Baier. Tyer would later also receive a business degree from the area college in 1985. Tyer said he was � rst inspired to be a para-medic by watching the TV show “Emergency!” “I’ve always enjoyed helping people,” Tyer said. Tyer joined the Southeast Volunteer Fire Department along with Baier in 1983, before also joining the Houston Fire Department in 1985. He began his professional career as a paramedic at Station 33 in the Medical Center. Tyer has since been promoted several times, � rst as engine operator in 1991, then to captain in 1995, then to senior captain in 2000, before landing a position as district chief in 2002. The emergency responder has been assigned to Station 70 on Beamer since 2005. He previously worked at other stations, in-

cluding 1 and 55. Tyer, said, however, that working in the South Belt area was his favorite assignment. “I’ve enjoyed being close to home,” Tyer said. “I get to do stuff with the kids. I have the luxury of being close and getting to go to all of their functions.” He further recalled how drastically the neighborhood has changed over the years, not-ing that the area that now houses Beltway 8 used to be all barren � elds. “It’s gone from � elds to freeways,” Tyer said. Tyer said he is grateful for being able to serve the community in which he grew up. “What a joy it’s been to be in this commu-nity,” Tyer said. “Everywhere I go, I get to see someone I know.” Tyer and his wife Pam have four children, Katie, Andrew, Jefferey and Kellie. All are Do-bie graduates. He feels fortunate to have also brought his children up in the South Belt community. “It’s such a great place to grow up and raise a family,” Tyer said. Tyer said he plans to remain in the commu-nity following his retirement and perhaps do some traveling. “I’m going to kick back and take it easy,” Continued on Page 2A

CCISD to hold board election The Clear Creek Independent School District will hold a Board of Trustee election Saturday, May 2, to � ll two open seats. Open positions include the District 2 seat cur-rently held by Win Weber and the District 3 seat currently held by Arturo Sanchez. Weber was appointed to � ll the unexpired term of Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustee Chris Reed this past July, following his unexpected death the previous month. A former longtime Clear Creek ISD Board of Trustee herself, Weber was a per-sonal friend of Reed’s. At press time, it was unclear if either of the incumbents was planning to run again.

Dobie announces 3rd honor roll

Thirty-six talented mu-sicians across all � ve Clear Creek ISD comprehensive high schools were select-ed as 2020 Texas All-State members through the Texas Music Educators Associa-tion (TMEA). This is the highest hon-or a Texas music student can receive and earns these students a spot to perform in one of � fteen ensembles throughout the band, choir and orchestra divisions. The process began with more than 70,000 high school students across the state auditioning for one of these coveted positions, with only around 1,500 stu-dents being selected in the end. The All-State students will now practice together over three days of rehears-als, directed by national-ly recognized conductors. They will then perform before more than 30,000 people during the annual TMEA Clinic/Convention in San Antonio on Feb. 12. Congratulations to the following students: Elizabeth Jackson of Clear Brook High School, Abel Lostaunau of Clear Brook High School, Paige Richeson of Clear Brook High School, Riana Vermil-lion of Clear Creek High School, Madigan Ewing of Clear Creek High School and Sophia Sereni of Clear Creek High School.

Former Duncanville High School defensive coordinator John Towels III has been hired to lead the Clear Brook High School football program into the 2020 season and beyond after gaining Clear Creek ISD board approval following a spe-cial meeting Jan. 20. Towels will inherit a Clear Brook program that made the playoffs in 2018 but struggled to return to form a season ago. Then-head coach Lupe Florez resigned af-ter collecting five wins over two seasons. Towels, with 20 years of coaching experience all told, led the Duncan-ville defense as coordi-nator for four seasons. Over each of the pre-vious two, the Panthers reached the Class 6A

Division I state champi-onship game before los-ing to eventual champion North Shore. Clear Brook, which will almost assuredly become a 6A Division II eligible program fol-lowing realignment Feb. 3, reached the regional quarterfinals in 2017 – head coach Mike Alli-son’s final season before he exited for Dawson – but didn’t find a similar rhythm under Florez. Towels should wel-come a varsity team with plenty of experience lat-er this fall, particularly on offense. Quarterback Colby McCallister, who drew the majority of work at quarterback, has two years remaining. At running back, the Wolverines will have both Trent Lacy and Jar-ren Harbin back.

the boys 138-pound divi-sion. Matthew Russell, an-other Brook senior, was third in the 132-pound division, and girls’ new-comer Sydnee Campbell placed third at 165. “She is (in her first sea-son) this year, and has just shown a lot of intelligence on the mat,” 11th-year

Clear Brook coach Ryan Denny said. “We are excited about our entire group of girls moving for-ward.” Looking ahead on the boys’ side of things, San-doz has signed a letter of intent to wrestle at Way-land Baptist University but still hopes to do top-6 or better damage at state later this season, according to Denny.

Longhorn basketball solidifies playoff chances; Brook slips Another week, another couple of rounds of tough games as the Dobie and Clear Brook varsity bas-ketball teams continue to push toward the playoffs, or not. Both the Dobie boys and girls teams are in solid position with respect to the postseason, but still hope to improve their respective standing down the stretch. The Clear Brook teams,

by contrast, have some work to do but hope to find gold at the end of the playoff rainbow as well.

Lady Longhorns 7-3 With the Dobie girls’ 60-14 victory over Pasa-dena Jan. 21, a showdown for what is likely to be the No. 3 playoff seed looms between the host Lady Longhorns and Humble Jan. 24 at Dobie. Game time is set for 7 p.m.

Dobie fans might re-member that it was just a season ago that the Long-horns went to Humble and defeated the Lady Wild-cats 45-42 at the buzzer in a winner-take-all game for third place. Dobie used that momentum to reach the second round of the postseason yet again before a loss to Clear Springs. This season, the Lady

Longhorns already own a 50-46 victory over Hum-ble, so another win at home Jan. 24 would just about seal the deal as the locals look to ensure the best possible playoff seed-ing. At this point, Atascoc-ita is at 10-0 following a first-round win over Sum-mer Creek and appears to be headed for a District 22-6A title fight with

the defending Region III champion Lady Bulldogs (9-1). That leaves Dobie and Humble to battle for the final two seeds, with the rest of the 22-6A field all but eliminated from con-tention.

Lendsey aids win Such as in the 22-6A girls’ race, things are con-gested at the top as Sum-mer Creek has used a first-

round win over Atascocita to lead the way at 8-0, with the Eagles of Atascocita just a half game back at 8-1. Kingwood, which con-tinues to be the surprise performer within the dis-trict, has first-round losses to both of the aforemen-tioned teams but is third at 7-2 after a tight first-round win over Dobie. As for the Longhorns,

the locals clearly hold out hope of surpassing King-wood for third place and at the very least want to secure the fourth and final playoff seed with still sev-en games to play. The Longhorns took a nice step with a season sweep of Pasadena Jan. 21 as Jalen Lendsey came up huge with an 18-point, 11-rebound effort as the lo-

The Pasadena ISD Ath-letics Hall of Fame com-mittee will host its eighth annual induction ceremony, recognizing some of the most celebrated names in athletics at PISD later this spring. The event, scheduled for April 4 at Phillips Field House, will add 10 names to its roster, including one team – the 1993 Dobie squad that won the � rst-ev-er UIL state championship,

three coaches, � ve athletes and a family. As the big event nears, the Leader will periodical-ly recall special moments leading up to the Lady Longhorns’ � rst crown, which was later followed by state crowns in 1995 and 1997. The � rst installment details some little-known facts about that 1993 squad, including a battle just to make the postseason.

JFD boys shut out Summer Creek; girls fall

At right, Dobie girlsÕ soccer assistant coach Monika Rivera Mack-ey managed a smile despite taking an ice bath following her outstanding showing at the Chevron Hous-ton Marathon Jan. 19 in Houston. Mackey, a Dobie graduate and varsity girlsÕ soccer player, completed the 26.2-mile course in 4 hours, 36 minutes, 13 seconds, coming away pleased with her per-formance.

Lutheran South Acade-my senior volleyball play-er Hannah Stallings head-ed the list as several Lady Pioneers scored all-dis-trict status following the season. Stallings put together a monster season statis-tically as she was named a Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools � rst team all-state

performer. In addition to Stall-ings, Lady Pioneers Laura Demchak and Kiersten Lin made the � rst team, while Lily Psencik and Skylar Robbins were named to the second team. Honor-able mention all-district status went to Lutheran South’s Alaina Pink, Tori Burkett and Gayle Hen-derson. JFD’s Mackey

Class of 2017 Dobie graduate Tyler Myers (34) is set to begin his senior season at the University of Missis-sippi as a reliever with the Rebel baseball pro-gram. As a junior in his Þ rst season with Ole Miss, Myers made 23 relief appearances, the third-most relief ap-pearances on the team. He Þ nished with 2-0 record and 4.97 earned run average over 38 in-nings of work, giving up 21 runs on 41 hits and nine walks with 34 strikeouts. The junior college transfer made his Rebel debut against Arkansas State, going a full inning with no runs allowed on one hit, walking one and striking out two. My-ers pitched two years at Paris College previ-ously.

It’s just one game, but the Dobie varsity boys’ soccer team sent a pretty clear message in its Dis-trict 22-6A opener Jan. 21, blanking Summer Creek 6-0 with a thor-ough performance to start league play. The Dobie program has won � ve straight district titles, but this is a new season with a fairly new lineup in the mix. Still, the wins keep coming. In this one, the Long-horns hit the Bulldogs with two early goals in the � rst half and then du-plicated that at the be-ginning of the second

half to take a comfortable 4-0 lead. From there, two more goals cemented the win. Sophomore keeper Eris Acosta earned the win in the nets as the Dobie de-fense kept Summer Creek fairly quiet over the course of the 80 minutes. Issac Cortez led the way with two goals and an as-sist in the game to give him a team-high of � ve goals in the early going. Jonathan Torres, tied for second on the team with four goals, also scored twice, while Anthony Nery and Imanol Pena also tal-lied goals. Dobie’s Jonathan Men-

dez, Nethanael Delgado and Oscar Medrano had assists for the winners. The win was good for Dobie as it bounced back from a 2-1 nondistrict loss in its � nal tuneup match Jan. 15 at Veterans Stadi-um in Pasadena. Oscar Beltran scored Dobie’s goal on an as-sist from Cortez, but the Longhorns did suffer their � rst loss of the season. The Dobie girls were not as fortunate in their 22-6A opener, also Jan. 21, at Summer Creek. The Lady Bulldogs, having scored � ve goals in their season opening tie

against Memorial, scored six this time as they hand-ed Dobie a 6-3 loss. It’s early in the season, but Atascocita, Summer

Creek and Pasadena Me-morial have set the tone early on. Summer Creek leads the district with 10 goals scored in two

matches. Dobie, which had a team-high seven goals from senior Victoria Chu through nondistrict play,

will return to action Fri-day, Jan. 24, against Pas-adena at Veterans Stadium in Pasadena. Match time is 5:30 p.m.

Former Cowboy, now Roughneck meets youth Cowboys

Blake Jackson (17) of the Houston Roughnecks XFl franchise, a Dobie graduate and former Sagemont Cowboys youth football player, had a chance to visit with some current Cowboys play-ers at a RoughnecksÕ practice earlier this month

at the University of Houston. Those youth players with Jackson included, left to right, sophomore player A.J. Reed, peewee player Dylan Hernandez and sophomore players Kaisen Troxlar and Luke Stacey.

David Hensley estab-lished a new school re-cord in the 500 free as he led the way for the Lutheran South Acade-my programs at the Tex-as Association of Private and Parochial Schools regional competition at the University of Hous-ton. The old record had stood since 2010, but Hensley put up a time of

4 minutes, 42:24 seconds to grab the new program all-time lead. The Pioneer boys’ team, including Hensley, Chase Ferguson, Charles Maricle, Hunter Nolen, Elliot Miles, Luke LeB-lanc and Paul LeBlanc ended up taking second place in points scored. Now it’s on to the state meet as the Pioneers seek more.

LSA swimmers make state bids

Senior team captain Se-bastian Delgado is off to a strong start in his bid to � nish his high school ten-nis career at Dobie with a berth in the spring post-season after taking third place in the Alvin Invita-tional Jan. 17 in Alvin. Delgado, the Long-horns’ top-ranked boys’ singles player for two seasons, made his way through a talented � eld in Alvin with hopes of reach-ing the � nal before wind-ing up third in the end in the boys’ A singles. “Sebastian played some really good tennis at a place where really the competition was very good,” Dobie head coach Manuel Moreno said. “He puts a lot out there of himself and does every-thing he can to be success-ful. I really admire Sebas-tian for his work ethic. He

has so many things going on inside and outside of tennis, but when he is on the court, he is always do-ing whatever it takes to be successful. “He’s been that way since he came here to Do-bie, and I know he is look-ing to � nish strong here at Dobie for his senior year.” Elsewhere at Alvin, Ju-lia Bui and Kristy Morales combined for play in the girls’ A doubles, reaching the quarter� nals before bowing out. Lael Martinez and Bri-an Nguyen were fourth in the boys’ A singles, and Gisell Morales played well early on in the girls’ A singles as part of a tal-ented � eld of competition. “Overall, I thought our kids played well,” Moreno said. “It was competitive in all of the draws, and I thought we held our own

well. “Now we are going to Pearland (Jan. 24), and I expect much of the same. In the spring, you’re a lit-tle more focused on indi-vidual success either in the singles or the doubles.

“I know Sebastian has high hopes this spring, and I also think some of our other players have a very good chance of being suc-cessful at district and then possibly regionals. The season goes by fast.”

Summer Creek Jan. 17. In that one, the Bulldogs led 25-10 at the end of one period en route to the easy win. Scott was in double figures with 11 for the Longhorns.

Brook boys slip back The Clear Brook boys’ team is now fighting an uphill battle after consec-utive 24-6A losses.

The Wolverines, now 2-3 in league play, lost a 70-67 double overtime af-fair at home Jan. 21 to fall to 2-3. On Jan. 17, the Wolver-ines’ Brandon Andrews had 25 points, but Clear Lake’s Jaja Sanni matched it with 25 as the Falcons won 64-57. In 24-6A girls’ action,

Clear Brook lost 46-41 at Clear Creek Jan. 21 but re-mains in the push for the fourth and final playoff seed despite a 2-5 mark with five games to go. The Lady Wolverines got their second win of the 24-6A season Jan. 17, battling past Clear Lake at home by a 51-45 score in the end.
