TRWD board seats on ballot

Five candidates will compete for three seats on the Tarrant Regional Water District Board of Directors in the May 6, 2017, election in Tarrant County.

Two of the candidates are incumbents, including Jack Stevens, who joined the board in 2004 and now serves as vice president, and Mary Kelleher, who was elected in 2013.

They are being challenged by three prominent business people: Andra Beatty, a real estate broker; James Hill, a banker and Leah King, a communications manager. All have long histories of civic involvement in Fort Worth, the site of TRWD’s headquarters.

The winners will join incumbents Victor Henderson, president of the board who was elected in 1985; Marty Leonard, secretary of the board who joined it in 2006 and Jim Lane, secretary pro tem, who was elected in 2006.

TRWD, in operation for more than nine decades, manages the seven water reservoirs of Cedar Creek, Richland Chambers, Worth, Eagle Mountain, Bridgeport, Benbrook and Arlington.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Mar. 26)

GOOD. Water stained; 62 degrees; 9.18 feet below pool. Crappie are very close to the spawn. Target deeper cover and move shallow as the day warms up with minnows. Check the north end and Three Fingers area first. Sand bass are actively spawning in the north end. It may take some looking to find them as they are moving around quite a bit. A slab or a lipless crankbait should put them in the boat. Black bass are in the late stages of the prespawn, so a jerkbait or slow rolled spinnerbait are good bait choices. Check main lake points near coves and bays. Catfish are good on cut bait in mid depth water. The north end and the river are the go to areas. All ramps are open.
