Coleen Rooney set to become new Holly Willoughby as she’s poised to sign big money ITV deal cashing in on I’m a CelebLOS ANGELES — If you have a bag of sunflower seeds, throw it to the sky. Teo is back. Break out three giant claps, a dazzling smile and a deafening scream. Teo is back. The Dodgers' heartbeat still pumps. The Dodgers' soul still stirs. The Dodgers are still the Dodgers. A front office that respects the team culture while listening to its fans made certain of this Friday when the Dodgers agreed to re-sign Teoscar Hernández to a three-year, $66 million contract, keeping last season's championship hero where he belongs. In the dugout, showering fellow home-run hitters with sunflower seeds. In the clubhouse, smoothing the path for Shohei Ohtani. And, of course, at the plate, delivering huge hits all summer capped by season-tilting drives in the National League Division Series and World Series. Teo is back, and your sigh is as big as his personality, and your relief is as palpable as one of his late-inning swings. Because, admit it, you were worried. You were even worse than worried. After the final bus had sped past, the final inspirational speech had been delivered, and the last of the hoarse cheers had been uttered, you barely had time to savor November's title celebration before you began waiting for the other blue shoe to drop. Teo was a free agent, and that meant this band of ring bearers could be broken up, and, oh no! The Dodgers couldn't let such a giant presence walk, could they? They weren't really going to be blinded by analytics and age and contract length and fail to sign everybody's newest favorite player, were they? In the past, they might have. In the past, there was actually little chance they would have rewarded a 32-year-old playing for his fourth team with a lucrative three-year deal based partially on intangibles. You knew all this, and you were scared, and it shaded your every perception of what had been an otherwise wildly successful offseason. Signing two-time Cy Young winner Blake Snell was nice, but what about Teo? Extending October hero Tommy Edman was a boss move, but hey, where's Teo? Adding smart-swinging lefty outfielder Michael Conforto was cool, but what does this mean for Teo? Blake Treinen was brought back, and Japanese star pitcher Roki Sasaki could be coming but ... hello? Teo? All those fears were erased Friday afternoon in what is usually a time for sports teams to dump their bad news in hopes that it gets lost in the weekend. This was the opposite of that. Teo is back, and the New Year's party starts now. It turns out, while negotiations were painfully protracted, the end result was always obvious in what is pretty close to a perfect relationship between a star and a team. Hernández wanted to stay, something he had been openly expressing by the end of the championship parade. And the Dodgers, in valuing him as not only an All-Star player but a standout leader, wanted him to stay. It was all pretty simple, really, and now, for the rest of baseball, it's downright suffocating. The Dodgers don't need to do anything else this winter and already they're better than last season. By keeping their title core together while essentially adding two ace pitchers — Snell and the mound return of Ohtani — the Dodgers are a lock to win the National League West for the 12th time in 13 seasons and should be heavy favorites to become the first team to win consecutive World Series since the New York Yankees from 25 years ago. Andrew Friedman and the Dodger ownership group understands this team and this market as well as any front office in franchise history. In bringing back a guy who had 33 homers and 99 RBIs and arguably the team's exciting personality, they have continued to maintain a monster. Look at their lineup, rich with regular-season MVPs, National League Championship Series MVPs, World Series MVPs and, oh yeah, a home-run derby champion. Check out their rotation, led by four aces in Ohtani, Snell, Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Then there's the bullpen, which could be anchored by the veteran who shut down the New York Yankees for 2 1/3 innings in the World Series clincher, the retention of Treinen being a sneaky good move. If possible, Friedman has had a winter that rivaled Hernández's Game 5 division series homer for excitement. As crazy as it sounds, Friedman has worked an offseason that could come close to matching Hernández's Game 5 World Series two-run double for impact. It all became clear Friday afternoon with two words that appeared on Hernández's Instagram story. "I'm Back," he wrote. Run it back, you shouted. ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit latimes.com .

Charlene Heydinger, president of Texas PACE Authority (TPA), addressed the commissioners during a public hearing held prior to the regular meeting at which she reviewed the county’s participation in the program and explained how it benefits the county and local businesses and nonprofit organizations. The commissioners voted unanimously to amend their agreement with the Texas PACE Authority and to add Lone Star PACE as a second program administrator during the regular session. The Texas PACE Authority was created in 2015 to help businesses and nonprofit organizations make energy efficient and water saving upgrades to their buildings that are funded by lenders and secured through property liens. Brazos County joined the program in 2016. “The idea here is these are tough loans for lenders because collateral is bad,” Heydinger said during the public hearing. “You can’t come and take somebody’s HVAC system if they don’t pay. So, to reduce costs, banks like to get their money back quickly, so they have a small number of expensive installments. That creates what I call the tower of pain because you have a cashflow problem before you get to the savings. “All PACE does is knock the tower over so the owners have a larger number of smaller payments so they can use the savings to make the payments. That’s the idea. They still have to pay it back, but you’ve created a mechanism that reduces the risk for the lenders, so the lenders are willing to have longer loans so that the payments are smaller.” Heydinger said the program is primarily used for rehabbing older buildings to make them more energy and water efficient, but it can also be used for new construction. “We’re taking older buildings across the state and bringing them back to life and putting them on the tax rolls,” she said. “Downtown Bryan is a perfect example of beautiful buildings that have access to this program. So far they haven’t chosen to use it. There are several that have come close and either their local banks aren’t comfortable, or they’ve had other reservations. As interest rates come down, we expect to see more renovations of existing buildings while there’s also a new use of the program for new construction.” She said the county does not use any taxpayer money and only places and manages the property liens. Lee McCormick, president of Lone Star PACE, said the company is an advisory firm and does not make loans. “We are not a nonprofit. We actually are a registered municipal advisory firm, so we are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board,” he said. McCormick told the commissioners that the county will benefit from having two program administrators. “TPA has done around $30 million this year where we’ve done $180 million, even though TPA has over 100 locations that they serve, and we serve 22,” he said. “From our perspective, Brazos County gets the best of both worlds when it comes to having both administrators. You have two groups that are working together on the county’s behalf — two groups that have experience really in different areas, one from the governmental/political side and one from the business side, so it’s a win-win, we think, for the county.”
