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 (Jul. 24)

GOOD. Water normal stained; 87 degrees; 10.05 feet below pool. Lake Bridgeport is around 10 feet low, lightly stained with temps in the mid 80s. All ramps are open, although the ramp at the dam is still slippery. Crappie fishing continues to be good! The US Highway 380 bridge, deeper docks and offshore brush piles have been productive with minnows and jigs putting them in the boat. Hybrids and sand bass are cruising the main lake and moving fast! On main lake humps, ledges, ridges have been good with live bait and slabs catching fish. Some Sand Bass surface action is happening on cool mornings and warm afternoons. Largemouth bass have been good on topwaters early in the morning, and with flat billed crankbaits of finesse baits near lake points later in the day. Catfish are good on cut bait, drifting shallow flats early and late. Report by Keith Bunch, Lake Bridgeport Guide Service.
