BY MATT HOLLIS

The Cedar Bayou Masonic Lodge No.
321 is hosting a fish fty fundraiser Thurs-
day at the lodge, 2850 Ferry Road. Serving
hours are 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 to 7 p.m.
The meal includes fried fish, French
fries, coleslaw and hush puppies.
Participants can dine in at the lodge or
drive through. Each plate is $10 and des-
serts are available for a little extra.
Free delivery is available within 20
miles for orders of plates of 10 or more.
Proceeds from the fundraiser will go
toward an ongoing effort to restore and
maintain their Texas Historical Landmark
Building.
The building was constructed in 1875
and completed in 1876. It was built by the
Masons that belonged to the lodge. It was
also the first public school in east Harris
County. The Masons used the top floors
while the bottom floors were used for the
school. Florida cypress was trucked in for
the building’s construction, which was
right before the 1875 Hurricane, which
struck Texas and killed an estimated 800
people.
For more information, call 832-573-
7602 or 281-728-5643 on the day of the
fish fry.

Because the DOD is new,
Spencer said processing
Foothills’ first application
was a bit tricky but relative-
ly smooth. Several instruc-
tional meetings, including
with different oil compa-
nies, have been held to help
the fire marshal’s office
prepare for the new task.
“The first Foothills ap-
plication and packet took
over a month to process but
the second only took a few
days,” Spencer said.
Application packages in-
clude a multitude of facts
and information, including
what type of wells the com-
panies are drilling, whether
they are gas and oil or salt-
water, whether wells are
new or used, drill site loca-
tions, applicant/owner in-
formation, and emergency
response plans with details
about cleanup crews, insur-
ance, emergency contacts,
among other things.
Information also details
how drilling companies
will handle spills, floods,
bad weather and even how
they will secure the sites
with fences and locks.
“I think the process is
better for the public be-
cause it makes getting a
permit more difficult for the
drilling company,” Spen-
cer said. “It is about taking
care of the environment and
making sure the public is
safe.”
Council’s action in May
put to rest nearly two years
of discussions, public hear-
ings and rough drafts.
It was actually Foothills’
initial application to drill in
Goose Creek Oil Field, at
first denied by city council,
that caused city leaders and
staff to reconsider how to
regulate new and expanded
drilling and oil and gas op-
erations.
When it came to the oil
field, a concern included
noise, lighting and visual
disturbances.
Another concern was
whether there would be
fracking done by drilling
companies on the proper-
ty. However city officials
and stakeholders assured
council there would not be
because there is no need at
this time. Fracking is a rel-
atively new and controver-
sial drilling technique.
On the DOD map, some
areas are left outside of the
overlay boundaries, includ-
ing two commercial areas
that can be developed in the
future and one residential
area, which is Evergreen
Fairways.
Those residents were told
Evergreen Fairways is well
buffered on all sides and
would be protected from
disturbances.
“When we drill these
wells, I don’t think people
will know the difference,”
Fiuzat said Monday. “I
don’t anticipate any prob-
lems.”
Being outside of the
overlay also' make those
areas very restrictive for
drilling because it requires
heavy industrial zoning and
a special use permit in order
to do so.
Baytown City Manager
Bob Leiper said the city
hasn’t experienced drilling
in years. Now Foothills
has applied for permits in
the drilling overlay district
and Jet Oil has submitted
paperwork to drill a well at
Highway 146 just north of
the Cedar Bayou. He notes
that the Jet application does
not apply to the DOD.
“All those regulations are
already in place,” Leiper
said.
So far, the city has re-
ceived no complaints about
the companies’ plans.

has taken the frustration out
of the ‘technology piece’
of my instruction. The stu-
dents love that they can
explore, work, and collabo-
rate online; and I love that
the ‘1-forgot-to click-save’
line is a thing of the past!”
Barbers Hill began im-
plementing Google Apps
for Education in 2011 and
continues to build on that
platform with infrastructure
improvements, implemen-
tation of Google devices,
and professional develop-
ment for teachers.
Jennifer Locke, social
studies teacher at Barbers
Hill High School, said,
“The transition to Google
has been awesome for my
class. Students are able to
easily collaborate and share
documents - no more flash
drives or students waiting
for a computer. Working
with Google Apps is teach-
ing students real-world
skills and application.”
Secondary level
In fall 2013, Barbers Hill
High School introduced
Acer Chromebooks.
Kelly Collins, language
arts teacher at Barbers Hill
High School, said, “I of-
ten take advantage of the
ease and accessibility the
Chromebook provides.
Through Google Apps on
the devices, I’m able to
keep all documents in one
area, and students are able
to send and share docu-
ments with me, which en-
ables me to give immediate
feedback. I also enjoy using
the comments for peer-to-
peer revision.”
Another language arts
teacher, Ray Viverette,;
finds Google Docs bene-
ficial for student projects.
“Google Apps is an incred-
. ible tool for instructors, es-
pecially English teachers,”
said Viverette. “As students
create documents, teachers
can see the work as it is
being composed, and from
the teachers’ own comput-

Her mother, Susan,
drove Taplin all the way to
Atlanta, where the episode
was filmed.
She met with the show's
executive producer, their
make-up team and several
actors on the show, includ-
ing Devin Kelly and Kurt-
wood Smith. She is also
friends with the show’s
star. Landon Gimenez,
who plays Jacob.
At the Sunday night
celebration, Landon sent
Taplin a special video mes-
sage, wishing her well.
ers, can show students how
to edit, revise, and produce
quality writing because of
Google Apps’ ability to
interface with the student
Barbers Hill Middle
School campuses remain
on the traditional .1:1 laptop
program but will be mov-
ing to Chromebooks in the
fall. Even as preparation for
that transition is underway,
many teachers and students
are already using Google
Apps.
Jennifer Sandlin, math
teacher at Middle School
North, said, “I love Google
Docs. I have an all-in-one
website that is easy to up-
date and easy for students
and parents to use.”
Elementary level
Students in grades K-3
received four Nexus 7 tab-
lets per classroom this year.
The cost and manageability
of tablets provides a more
budget-friendly option than
traditional computers or
laptops, and will make the
task of updating technology
in these classrooms easier.
“I love having tablets in
my classroom,” said Alli-
son Koch, first-grade teach-
er at Barbers Hill Primary.
“It is super-easy to install
apps, and they can instantly
go on all four tablets or just
one. My students love the
‘ClassDojo’ app for positive
behavior management.”
Another educator at
Barbers Hill Elementary
South, art teacher Michelle
Johnson, said, “The new
equipment has allowed
my students to take a big-
ger part in displaying their
artwork.The Nexus tablets
have made it possible for
my second- and third-grade
students to take a picture
of their own artwork and
upload it to Artsonia. And
the Chromebooks for my
fourth- and fifth-graders
allow them to make artist
comments on their Artsonia
artwork.”
The fourth- and fifth-
grade classrooms at Bar-
bers Hill Elementary North
and South have received
four Acer Chromebooks
According to Susan, the
episode’s director, Chris-
topher Misiano, was espe-
cially kind to Taplin while
directing her on the show.
“He was patient with her
and you could tell he has
worked with children be-
fore,” Susan said.
Misiano has direct-
ed also episodes of “The
Good Wife,” "The West
Wing,” “ER” and “Grey's
Anatomy”.
It is unclear at this point
whether Taplin is going to
return to the show. How-
ever, since she played a
younger version of an
existing character on the
show, Susan is hopeful that
per classroom. Chrome-
books were chosen for the
fourth- and fifth-grade stu-
dents to facilitate the transi-
tion to the secondary school
Chromebook environment
when students enter sixth
grade.
“Using Google Class-
room in conjunction with
Chromebooks allows my
students to take more own-
ership in their learning,
both independently and
collaboratively,” said Amy
McElroy, fifth-grade Lan-
guage Arts/Social Studies
teacher. “Additionally, it
allows me to work more
collaboratively with my
students; I am able to give
real-time feedback, and stu-
dents are able to work on
computer-generated prod-
ucts simultaneously.”
Behind the scenes
The network infrastruc-
ture that supports BHISD’s
technology initiative is nec-
essarily robust. Upgrades
have been made to the net-
work on many of the cam-
puses, and improvements
continue to be made so the
end user has a great expe-
rience with these “always
connected” devices while
operating within a stable,
secure environment.
Bandwidth into the dis-
trict has been increased for
online textbooks and other
interactive resources. And
as the Mont Belvieu area
continues to grow with in-
dustry' and residential com-
munities, more and more
options for Internet service
will become available to
meet growing demand for
connectivity for members
of the community.
“The entire process of
implementing Google Apps
for Education along with
Chromebooks and tablets
into Barbers Hill ISD is an
amazing experience,” said
Director Russell. “1 feel
very honored to be a part of
it, as it has moved this dis-
trict forward in technology
in ways where immediate
results have been seen. We
eagerly anticipate many fu-
ture successes for students
and teachers.”
they will soon be calling
her back to Atlanta.
“If they call, we’ll be
ready to go,” she said. “It
was an exciting experience
and we hope Taplin gets
a chance to do it all over
again.”
In addition to being an
actress, Taplin, along with
her sister, Grace, are clas-
sically trained ballet danc-
ers.
Taplin was recently in
the Bay Area Houston Bal-
let and Theater’s “Sleeping
Beauty.” This December,
Taplin and Grace are ap-
pearing in the Lee College
Performing Arts Center’s
“The Nutcracker."
