While the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics [http://www.vancouver2010.com] will be nearing their close on Sunday, February 28th, the memory of running the Olympic torch is still fresh in the memory of Pearland, TX resident Ken Block.
This Olympic flame's trek was historically the longest, with runners placed in each of Canada's vast provinces. Block had the honor of carrying the flame 300 meters in St. Albert, Alberta, near the province's capital of Edmonton.
Block happened upon the honor due to his position at Aggreko [http://www.aggreko.com], a company that runs power cable for power and sound at high-profile events, including the Super Bowl, the presidential inauguration, and the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics - all projects Block has past worked on. As an Olympic affiliate, Aggreko was given 10 spots in the torch relay, and Block was nominated along with Kingwood resident George Walker.

Heritage Bank has been serving Texas proudly since 1985 and they are glad to expand their business to serve the community as they open their second Pearland location – the new Pearland Headquarters - in December of 2010. The 7,000 sq ft facility began with a ground breaking on Saturday January 23 as the Heritage Bank Board of Directors donned gold shovels and hard hats.
Heritage bank was founded in 1985 in Detroit, Texas and in 2008 local investors and organizers acquired the assets of Community National Bank in Detroit, TX from its original founders. Over the years Heritage Bank has grown, now owned by over 140 local business owners they plan to continue expanding to better serve the community. As Texas State Representative, Heritage Bank’s Chairman and CEO Dennis Bonnen stated, “Heritage is a bank owned by local business owners, for local business owners, and is based on the belief that you shouldn’t have to sacrifice the technology of the big banks to gain the service of the small.”
