Lady Roadrunners Land on Softball Superlatives List Whitehead, Fryar Players of the Year

0

Six members of the Angelina College Lady Roadrunner softball team earned their way to some post-season honors on the Region XIV East Zone superlatives list released earlier this week.

Sophomore Nikki Whitehead (Kingwood) was the zone’s Co-Player of the Year, and sophomore McKenna Fryar (Hardin) was the Pitcher of the Year.

Whitehead and Fryar also were named 1st Team All-Conference along with teammates Makayla Rodger (Huntsville), Kaylee Ancelot (Orangefield) and Brette Kohring (Brenham). Tristin Anders (Mont Belvieu) earned 2nd Team All-Conference honors.

Whitehead led the zone with a .500 batting average and struck out just once in 194 plate appearances. She finished first in the zone in hits (86) and total bases (132) while fielding her shortstop position at a .971 fielding percentage.

Fryar topped the conference with a 1.54 ERA in 29 appearances. She finished with a season record of 16-4 with eight saves, and finished second in the zone with 143 strikeouts (7.88 per game).

Rodger, a freshman catcher, drove in 31 runs while batting at a .410 clip. She fielded her position well enough to earn a .974 fielding percentage for the season.

Ancelot, also a freshman, led the team in home runs with 14, which was good enough for second in the zone. Ancelot drove in 57 runs and finished the regular season with a slugging percentage of .784.

Kohring, a sophomore designated player, hit .417 for the season while bashing five homers and driving in 48 runs.

Anders hit .368 while knocking five homers and driving in 38 runs. She led the Lady Roadrunners in stolen bases with eight.

The Lady Roadrunners finished the regular season with a league-leading .384 team batting average and finished second with a .587 team slugging percentage.

AC opens the Region XIV Softball Conference Championship tournament Sunday against Galveston College. Game time at the Larry Phillips Family Sports Complex in Lufkin is 2:30 p.m.

Emma and Liam Repeat as Social Security’s Top Baby Names for 2018

0

Liam and Emma are once again America’s most popular baby names in 2018. This is the second time Liam is atop the boys list and the fifth year in a row for Emma. Two long timers on the list, Jacob and Abigail, toppled out of the top 10 for the first time since 1992 and 2000. There are two new names in this year’s top 10—Lucas for the first time ever, and Harper makes her way back on the list.

Here are the top 10 boys and girls names for 2018:

Boys: 1) Liam 2) Noah 3) William 4) James 5) Oliver 6) Benjamin 7) Elijah
8) Lucas 9) Mason 10) Logan

Girls: 1) Emma 2) Olivia 3) Ava 4) Isabella 5) Sophia 6) Charlotte 7) Mia 8) Amelia 9) Harper 10) Logan 10) Evelyn

For all of the top baby names of 2018, and to see where your name ranks, go to Social Security’s website, www.socialsecurity.gov.

While you are there, Acting Commissioner Nancy A. Berryhill encourages everyone to enjoy the baby names list and create a my Social Security account at www.socialsecurity.gov/myaccount. my Social Security is a personalized online account that people can use beginning in their working years and continuing while receiving Social Security benefits.

Social Security beneficiaries can have instant access to their benefit verification letter, payment history, and complete earnings record by establishing a my Social Security account. Beneficiaries also can change their address, start or change direct deposit information, and print a replacement SSA-1099 online. People receiving benefits can request a replacement Medicare card online.

People age 18 and older who are not receiving benefits can also sign up for a my Social Security account to get their personalized online Social Security Statement. The online Statement provides workers with secure and convenient access to their Social Security earnings and benefit information, and estimates of future benefits they can use to plan for their retirement.

Additional Baby Names Information:

Social Security began compiling the baby name list in 1997, with names dating back to 1880. At the time of a child’s birth, parents supply the name to the agency when applying for a child’s Social Security card, thus making Social Security America’s source for the most popular baby names.

Each year, the list reveals the effect of pop-culture on naming trends. Royalty seems to have influenced parents in 2018.

Meghan was the fastest rising girls’ name, moving 701 spots to number 703 from number 1,404 in 2017. This jump speaks to the popularity of Meghan Markle, an American who joined the royal family when she married Prince Harry in 2018. Tune in next year to see how newborn Archie influences Moms and Dads in 2019. The name Archie actually reappears in the top 1,000 in 2018 for the first time since 1988, and he will likely continue climbing up the list after the latest royal news.

Winter is coming for “Game of Thrones” fans. The name Yara voyaged 314 spots from number 986 in 2017 to number 672 in 2018 on the girls’ side. Followers of the hit HBO show know this probably is due to Yara Greyjoy, a character on the popular series.

For the boys, Genesis is the fastest rising name for 2018, shuffling his way 608 spots to number 984 from number 1,592 in 2017. There has been a resurgence of classic names in the top 10 baby names in recent years, so perhaps Genesis is a harkening back to the classic English rock band led by Phil Collins. Speaking of Genesis, award winning Grammy singer and coach on “The Voice,” Alicia Keys named her son Genesis after his birth.

Please visit www.socialsecurity.gov to view the entire list.

The agency is proud to announce Instagram as its newborn social media channel. The new addition arrived in April and will share information and resources that can help you and your loved ones.

OLDER AMERICANS MONTH 2019: CONNECT, CREATE, CONTRIBUTE

Each year, more and more older adults are making a positive impact in and around Deep East Texas. As volunteers, employees, employers, educators, mentors, and advocates they offer insight and experience that benefit the entire community. For 56 years Older Americans Month has recognized the contributions of the growing Older Americans population.

The day will include a health fair, “42”, bingo, entertainment, and lunch. This year’s Older American Month theme is “Connect, Create, Contribute”, which we believe encourages older adults and their communities to:

• Connect with friends, family, and local services and resources.

• Contribute time, talent, and life experience to benefit others.

We’re inviting you to come and share this fun filled day with Seniors from the DETCOG 12 County region. We encourage you to come participate; there will be information on public benefits, Medicare, and community and health programs at the health fair.

My five cents… A weekly column from Sen. Robert Nichols

0

The saying goes that everything is bigger in Texas. SCR 20, which was passed by the Senate Administration committee this week, would make this true for even our knives. It designates the Bowie knife, made famous by Jim Bowie when he carried it during the Battle of the Alamo, as the official knife of Texas.

Here are five things happening at your Capitol this week:

1. School Finance

This week, the Senate passed HB 3, the school finance bill. With 110 amendments proposed for this bill, there was approximately 8 hours of debate in determining what the bill would contain. As currently written, it will give teachers and librarians a $5,000 pay raise, fund full day pre-k for low-income students, and increase base funding per student in each school district. The bill also increases funding for dual language programs, dyslexic and special education students and career and technology education. The bill will now head back to the House and a conference committee made up of members from both chambers will work out the differences within the bill.

2. Monuments Bill

To ensure we are protecting the history of our state and all of its monuments, the Senate has passed Senate Bill 1663. This bill requires a two-thirds vote of the House and Senate to remove, relocate or alter a monument which is at least 25 years old located on state property, or on the campus of a public university or campus. For local monuments at least 25 years old , a supermajority vote by city councils, commissioners court, school board or other local government entities would be required to make any changes. For newer local monuments it would require a simple majority. Monuments and memorials can include statues, portraits, cenotaphs (such as the one at the Alamo), and names of parks.

3. Fantasy Sports

The Texas House has passed House Bill 2303, which would classify fantasy sports as a game of skill, not of chance, therefore legalizing it in the State of Texas. Fantasy sports games allow individuals to draft real players from the various sporting leagues to create their own fictional

team. The players’ statistics are then compiled and the team with the highest overall ranking wins. All of this is done either through an online website or on an app.

In early 2016, Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a nonbinding opinion stating that fantasy sports sites are online gambling, which is illegal, and critics of the sites would agree. Supporters believe they are solely based on skill and should be designated as legitimate. This bill is now in the Senate.

4. Sunset Bills

As a member of the Sunset Commission I have authored a number of bills which would continue agencies which were under Sunset review this past year, including HB 1501 for the Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) and HB 1504 for the Texas Medical Board. Both of these bills were passed out of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee this week. The BHEC would create an umbrella agency for the Licensed Counselors, Social Workers, Psychologists and Marriage and Family Therapists.

Each individual board would retain their independence and have oversight of scope of practice and disciplinary actions. The Executive Council, made up of licensed and public members from each individual board, would take care of all of the administrative tasks for each board. These two bills will now head to the Senate floor for approval.

5. TEA ‘Do Not Hire’ List

Senate Bill 1256. which recently passed the Senate and has been sent to the House, would create a statewide registry maintained by the Texas Education Agency. The registry would list individuals, including former school employees, who have been determined to have engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a student, committed a crime against another person, or engaged in a prohibited misconduct. The registry would be used by public and private school administrators as a way to check potential new employees and keep them from hiring someone who had been let go from another school district, due to one of these misconducts.

The bill would also ensure that if a school employee has engaged in an unlawful act or solicited or engaged in an inappropriate act with a student or minor, they must be terminated from a public or private schools. This builds upon the standards implemented through SB 7, which was passed during the 85th Session (2017), and expanded the requirements for school district officials to report misconduct, and increased penalties for not reporting.

PUBLIC HEARING SET FOR US 59 UPGRADE FROM SHEPHERD TO CLEVELAND

0

TxDOT will hold a Public Hearing on Tuesday, May 14, in the Shepherd High School Cafeteria, 1 Pirates Lane, Shepherd, TX, to present planned improvements on US 59 and receive public comments on the proposed project.

Schematics for the project will be available for review from 4-6 pm with the Public Hearing beginning at 6 pm. The purpose of this hearing is to present the planned improvements and receive public comments on the proposed project. The US 59 Shepherd-Cleveland upgrade will include constructing frontage roads and overpasses from FM 2914 south of Shepherd in San Jacinto County to just south of SL 573 in Cleveland in Liberty County, TX.

The proposed 6.62 mile project will upgrade this section of US 59 to interstate standards by constructing northbound and southbound frontage roads each with two 12-foot lanes and reconstructing the main lanes of US 59 to include two 12-foot travel lanes in each direction with a median barrier. The project will also call for controlled access to the freeway, meaning access to the main lanes would be allowed only by entrance and exit ramps. The project also includes two overpasses with U-turns at Red Road and just south of the San Jacinto/Liberty County line.

More information regarding the project can be found at www.txdot.gov using the keyword search “US 59 Shepherd-Cleveland.” Any general questions regarding the US 59 upgrade can be directed to Jennifer Adams, I-69 Project Manager at (936) 633-4469 or at Jennifer.Adams@txdot.gov.

ASHBY APPOINTED TO CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON HOUSE BILL 3

0

State Representative Trent Ashby (R-Lufkin) has been appointed to serve on the Conference Committee for House Bill 3, which seeks to overhaul the state’s school finance system and provide property tax relief.

Prior to this appointment, Ashby has been deeply involved in crafting this legislation, which has been characterized as the number one issue facing the 86th Texas Legislature. As a member of the Public Education Committee, Ashby is known to be vocal proponent of reforming Texas’ school finance system by promoting greater equity and ensuring all public school students in Texas receive a quality education, regardless of their zip code.

“As a former school board member, and father of two public school students, having a seat at the table to finally provide meaningful reform to our broken school finance system will be the honor of my career,” Ashby said. “I have considerable faith in the appointed House members of this Conference Committee, as well as Speaker Dennis Bonnen (R-Angleton), to produce a more efficient and sustainable system that provides our students and teachers with the resources they need to achieve the brightest future possible, while also providing much-needed property tax relief to property owners across Texas.”

Ashby has experience as a House conferee on substantial legislation in his tenure as a legislator, as he has twice served as the lead negotiator for Article III of the General Appropriations Act, which has purview over public and higher education funding in Texas. The ten-member conference committee has until May 26, 2019 to produce their final report to the Legislature.

Representative Ashby is in his fourth term as a member of the Texas House of Representatives. Currently, Ashby is a member of the Public Education Committee, as well as the House Committees on Defense & Veterans Affairs.
