[quote name="bearbryant" post="1180546" timestamp="1329547643"] Well I had one awesome season.  Between me and my two sons we killed 7 deer.  The best season yet.  My oldest killed a very nice high rack 8 point and a doe, my youngest a nice 14 inch 7 point and a doe while I took a very old longhorn spike and does.  I still have the "deer lease" in my blood for now but am begrudgingly moving towards catfishing.  The only downside was that the hogs were very elusive this past year.  We didn't get any whereas last year we took 5 of them. [/quote] Sounds like a great season. Where were you hunting? This recent rain could help some cat fishin'

Thursday evening during practice

[quote name="Smoking Baby" post="1178464" timestamp="1329318663"] If you want to go offshore fishing, go to Facebook and search for Action Outdoors and like it or friend it, or however that stuff works.  I'll add you to the list and post fishing dates there. [/quote] I don't do Facebook but you already have my contact info

Good stuff

I heard that PNG was originally going for purple turf but had to scale back the contruction cost

[quote name="PhatMack19" post="1166867" timestamp="1327687301"] I believe the field is off limits as well as the track, because of some vandalism in the past.  They could cover it during the summer if need be. [/quote] Unless there was a stipulation in the warranty or a written recommendation from the manufacturer or installer then not covering it would not be an issue.

There is a school board that had its role in creating quite a bit of that as well. And I know that Dr. Thomas' tenure will be scarred by a number of controversies (Calvin Walker, transportation department issues, hotelgate, etc).  But as he retires, I don't know that you can say that the Beaumont ISD is in dire shape.  Academically, the district has reached the status as high as exemplary and in fact this past school did enough to do that but for the unacceptable status of a single middle school.  Financially, despite the numerous scandels in which BISD was apparently overcharged, BISD budgetary wise is still in a lot better shape than many of its neighboring school districts. And finally, in the area of athletics while some of the hoped for goals have not been reached, the athletic department is anything but a disaster.  The teams regularly reach the playoffs and in some cases have progressed far.  It has ushered in a new stadium that is in demand for use not only for BISD district games, but playoff games as well and, in fact, was a coin flip away from being host to a regional final game this past season.  Further, that stadium is used by a neighboring district as part of its season opening soccer tournament.  In a time where some districts have been the target of TEA receiverships, layoffs, unacceptable status and being unable to guide through bond issues to upgrade facilities, there are some of us that are quite envious of the state BISD is in now. [/quote] What a great post! And no one from Vidor has room to say anything about BISD with the shape their district is in. [/quote] Well there budget should be in even better shape now that they got rid of his salary  ;) And please tell me what kind of shape Vidor is in Yeoj. [/quote] Forced retirements, lay offs, unrenewed contracts, and TEA coming in to reorganize Vidor's budget so they could actually operate financially. Maybe VISD should have asked Dr. Thomas to donate his raise to their budget. Lmbo  :D  What is that saying about people who live in glass houses that throw stones? [/quote] Correct me if I'm wrong but's my understanding that Vidor requested the services of TASB consultants as a proactive effort. That's different than TEA "coming in".

Yep, winter weather doesn't keep the nuts in. The fact that I made a trip to Searim yesterday is proof of that. :D  I didn't do any good nad the fog was terrible

Not enough info provided to have all the facts. Unacceptable though.

We are actually setting the camera up at different places looking for a "black panther" and /or "black bears" that may or may not be in the area.  He is going to start baiting this weekend [/quote] You should have tried Lumberton city hall. [/quote] ;D

Correct. The school has to be willing to accept transfers. In the past it was very difficult to find a school that would accept transfers, especially if you were changing districts. However, now districts are more willing because of financial gain.

The state continues to encourage consolidations for financial reasons. I would presume that any consolidations in this area would have to come from the state level and I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Hypothetically speaking, if NISD and PNG were to consolidate the high schools probably wouldn’t. They could still have two high schools in one district.
