Rotary Club sponsors 4-Way speech contest allowing high school students to compete for college scholarships




GUN BARREL CITY -- The Rotary Club of Cedar Creek Lake is participating in the national group's 2013 speech contest for college-bound high school students. Local members heard a speech by Eustace High School senior Dylan Huckeba, who hopes to gone on to compete at higher levels of the contest to earn a college scholarship. The focus of the speech was Peace through Service, and Huckeba concentrated on the four principles of Rotary membership: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build good will and a better future? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Huckeba applied the principles of the Rotary Club to the work of President Obama and other elected officials. Other high school seniors are expected to present speeches at subsequent club meetings. In other action this month, the local Rotary Club gave donations of $1,500 each to Tri-County Library and the Library of Cedar Creek Lake, and new member Richard Avery was inducted into the group. The club will be sponsoring a Ladies Texas Hold-em Tournament at Comfort Suites on Feb. 2 at 5:30 p.m. The theme will be Super Bowl so participants are being asked to wear T-shirts with the logos of their favorite football team. The group meets every Friday for lunch at Vetoni's Italian Restaurant in the banquet room at noon. Pictured below is Dylan Huckeba.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Nov. 27)

GOOD. normal stain; 67 degrees; 3.48 feet below pool. The recent storms slowed down the fishing just a bit but it has picked up especially on the days it has been warming up into the 70s. Still finding hybrids and white bass on midlake points and drop offs along sandy flats throughout the dam area, Crappie Island, Key Ranch and the spillway humps in 11-19 feet. Cast spinners and slabs and look for schooling fish on these flats as well as deeper seawalls and shorelines. Fish any hump in 12-22 feet throughout the lake to find fish stacked up in schools as the day warms up. Look for schooling fish on cloudier/colder days. Use spinnerbaits or drop a slab down to the bottom and work it fast up and down and the fish will hit it immediately. Also throwing out a slab and reeling it back with a slow retrieve is also working well. Cast rattle traps, Spoons, Umbrella Rigs, slabs or sassy shads to get the hybrids to bite. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. Catfish are good on shallow flats in the mouths of the major creeks and the adjacent points and shorelines are holding fish in 2 -6 feet, or with fresh shad anchored or drifting on mainlake flats in 12-24 feet. This bite should hold up for another month or so. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
