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 (Oct. 16)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 77 degrees; 12.08 feet below pool. All ramps are open. Sand Bass and hybrids have been good on slabs near the main lake structure. The fish are starting to group up a bit more with the cooler weather. Hybrids are mixed in with the Sandies, so be ready for a big fish at any time. Colder weather up north will push our birds back to the lake for the winter. Start keeping an eye for them working bait and fish. Largemouth bass have been good early on topwaters like spooks and buzzbaits. As the sun rises, work main lake points with square bill crankbaits and jerkbaits. Crappie continue to be good on minnows and jigs. The 380 bridge and offshore brush piles have been prime areas. Report by Keith Bunch, Lake Bridgeport Guide Service.
