About this Journalist: Doug Hiser
  Expand to read about Doug
To tell the truth Doug Hiser’s life is a cartoon: funny, extravagant, creative, exciting and many of those “Coyote falls off the cliff and lands with a puff of dust at the bottom.” Student of the Year at the University of Houston Clear Lake with a degree in Applied Design and Visual art he studied with Sondria Hyu and Nick Devries.

He is an author of many books, (Secret Grotto, The Honey Bee Girl, Crow Canyon, Tropical Calypso, Cavern of the Eggstone, Wink-Eye Creek, Bite of the Mailman, Lost Oasis,) a poetry slam winner and producer, a professional artist and art teacher, a football/soccer coach, an eco-tourism specialist, a journalist, a retired mailman, (that's another story) a public speaker at conferences and schools, and there is also a bunch of stuff he used to do, like, play every sport imaginable, karate, a competitive bodybuilder for about ten years, and in 1992 he was on the American Gladiators television show.

Doug Hiser represented the Texas Soccer team in 2004 in Oahu, Hawaii as the goalkeeper for the Veteran’s Cup Tournament. Recently, this year he has been the featured artist at Galveston’s Feather Fest and also at Armand Bayou’s Earth Day Celebration. He was the guest speaker and workshop presenter at the Bay Area Writer’s League Conference at University of Houston this May, 2009 and is annual Author at the Giddings Word Wrangler Event.

He has published many award winning short stories. He entered his first art show in 1980 and won Best of Show with a pen and ink. His art has won numerous awards from The Bay Area Artist Colony first place show to the Texas City Art Festival first place. Doug Hiser’s art ranges from the realm of his own creation of “Elaborism”-the illumination of wildlife art-to the world of odd and strange things, dabbling in surrealism and hyper-abstraction.

From Santa Fe, Texas, he was born to catch cottonmouth water moccasin snakes and grab armadillos by the tail. He still likes being out in the wilderness and exploring, except now it is in Costa Rica or Canada or the Florida Everglades.

Doug Hiser paints to create new images to convey an awareness of the world around us and captures the magic that we should never lose in nature. He writes stories that fill the world with new sights. His creations, art or writing, influences you to grab your friend or the closest person and insist they take notice of what he has fashioned. His unique observations, paintings, and exotic words are thrilling and the emotions he instills in us from his work hang around after the words and images are over.

Doug Hiser is now a proud employee of the Bay Area Houston Convention and Visitor’s Bureau in Seabrook. He conducts workshops in writing, teaches art, and produces between 60 and 80 pieces of fine art a year. His wife is Gayln Blinka-Hiser, a coach at Creekside Intermediate School. He has a daughter, Heather, a son, Cade, and a step son, Myles.

Chargers Football try to stay Unbeaten at Falcon’s Homecoming Game

The District leading Clear Springs Chargers will be stepping into a dangerous packed house at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium Friday night, October 2, at 7pm, where they will meet the Clear Lake Falcons. Clear Lake will be fired up celebrating their Homecoming game that night. They are hungry for a big District win to knock off the Chargers and get their talons in the running for the District championship.

Clear Springs carries an undefeated District record into the game and their season record is 3 wins and only 1 loss.  Clear Lake has a District loss and their season record is 1 win and 3 losses. 

 

The Falcons bring a rushing attack that averages 340 yards a game and does not rely on the passing game, which totals only an average of fifty yards a game through the air.  Randall Hollimon is the Falcons workhorse and leads all rushers this season.  The Clear Lake Defense has been struggling, allowing the second most points scored against them, at 120.  Only Clear Brook’s defense has allowed more points this year.

 

The Chargers bring a team with a “No-Huddle” wide open spread attack that mixes formations and even brings linebackers and cornerbacks in on offense to become playmakers.  Middle Linebacker Trevon Randle and Cornerback Sam Richardson both have scored offensive touchdowns running out of the Chargers’s backfield this season.  The Chargers offense is second only to the Clear Brook Wolverines in scoring, racking up 134 points in 4 games.  The Clear Springs defense is second in the district with only 77 points allowed this season.  Only the Dickinson Gators have a stingier defense allowing 68 points this season.

 

 

            When the Falcons from the north in CCISD, and the Chargers from the south in CCISD, come together Friday night on Clear Lake’s Homecoming ground anything is possible, just look at last weeks cross town rivalry with Clear Creek battling Clear Brook.  Their district matchup produced eleven touchdowns between the two and the game was never settled until less than a minute left to play.  That is the kind of game the Chargers and the Falcons expect to bring into League City on Friday night.

 

I will have to give the Clear Lake band, drill team, and the Falcon cheerleaders the edge in the game only because it is their Homecoming.  That should bring more flip flops, more robust sounds and an energetic excitement to go with the beautiful gowns and Homecoming Queen Candidates at Halftime.
