The digital world is changing faster than ever, and with it, cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, more frequent, and more dangerous. Businesses, large and small, must prepare for the growing risks that come with an increasingly connected world. The days of thinking, “It won’t happen to me,” are over—every business is a target.
The Most Pressing Cybersecurity Threats This Year
1.AI-Powered Attacks – Hackers are now using artificial intelligence to craft highly convincing phishing emails, fake customer service interactions, and even deepfake scams that can trick even the most tech-savvy employees.
2.Ransomware Surge – These attacks lock businesses out of their own systems, demanding a ransom for access. The cost? Not just money, but lost data, reputation damage, and business downtime.
3.Supply Chain Breaches – Cybercriminals don’t just target businesses directly; they look for weak links in third-party vendors and software providers to infiltrate larger networks.
4.Cloud Security Gaps – Many businesses rely on cloud storage but fail to properly secure it, leaving sensitive data exposed to hackers.
5.Social Engineering & Human Error – The weakest link in cybersecurity remains human decision-making. Cybercriminals continue to exploit employees through fraudulent emails, impersonation scams, and fake tech support calls.
How to Stay Ahead of Cyber Threats
✔ Educate Employees – The best defense is knowledge. Make sure your team knows how to spot phishing emails and suspicious links.
✔ Use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) – Adding an extra layer of security can keep hackers out of critical accounts.
✔ Update Systems Regularly – Outdated software is an open door for cybercriminals. Keep your systems patched and secure.
✔ Strengthen Cloud Security – Encrypt your data and control who has access to sensitive information.
✔ Have a Response Plan – If an attack happens, having a clear incident response plan can minimize damage and downtime.
The Reality of Cybersecurity in 2025
Businesses can no longer afford to take a passive approach to cybersecurity. The threats are real, evolving, and hitting closer to home every day. Whether it’s a local small business or a global enterprise, no one is immune. As technology advances, so do cybercriminals. The only way forward is to stay informed, take action, and prioritize security before it’s too late.
One heck of a great season came to an end in Kansas, with the Roadrunner men’s basketball team reaching Elite Eight status before losing a game in the national tournament.
Our softball and baseball teams are in full-blown conference play now, and we have an upcoming tryout for our Lady Roadrunner basketball team.
Here’s a quick rundown of the week’s events, along with what’s coming up next:
Roadrunner Basketball Season Ends in Elite Eight Appearance
Picked nearly last in the pre-season conference coaches’ polls, Angelina College’s Roadrunners certainly pulled off some surprises to go along with all their accomplishments in their 2024-2025 season.
Sadly, the team’s magical run at a national title fell just two games short.
The ‘Runners spent the week as participants in the NJCAA Division I National Championship Tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas, where the team seeded 12th in the tourney proceeded to pull off a pair of shockers. AC beat South Georgia State on Sunday by an 87-70 final behind 25 points each from Kyle Morgan and Kanaan Holder, then handled No. 5 seed Jones College 74-62, with Christian Jones scoring 22 points and Jordan Mathews adding 20 in the win.
Just like that, the Roadrunners were one of the top eight teams in the nation.
The ‘Runners’ run ended in a 79-70 loss to South Plains College on Thursday, bringing to a close the greatest chapter in AC men’s basketball history, which included some of the following milestones:
–A No. 12 national ranking at the end of the regular season
–A No. 1 national ranking as the nation’s best defensive team
–A spotless 15-0 record inside the friendly confines of Shands Gymnasium
–A 28-7 final record, the best overall winning percentage in more than 30 years
–The program’s first-ever win at a national tournament (this year’s Roadrunners won two)
–First-ever appearance in the Elite Eight
Roadrunner sophomores playing in their final games in AC uniforms included Kanaan Holder, Chris Carpenter, Kyle Morgan and Boris Perucica.
Considering this is just head coach J.J. Montgomery’s third year as the AC head coach, it appears those trips to “Hutch” could become annual events.
Lady Roadrunner Softball Falls to Galveston
Bad weather prevented the Lady Roadrunners from playing more than a couple of games all week, and those games didn’t go AC’s way.
Hosting first-place Galveston College in Wednesday’s doubleheader, the Lady ‘Runners fell to the Whitecaps in a pair of identical 3-0 losses.
AC (14-24, 7-5) will host non-conference foe Louisiana State University—Eunice in a doubleheader set for a 4 p.m. start on Wednesday and will travel to Alvin College on Saturday in a twin bill set for a 1 p.m. start.
AC Baseball Goes 1-for-3 Against Navarro College
The Roadrunners opened the week with big home win against conference rival Navarro College, beating the Bulldogs 9-7 Wednesday at Poland Stadium on the AC campus. The ‘Runners hammered out 14 hits in the win, getting two RBI from Ashton Wagner and an RBI each from Sean Bazmore, Connor Ficarra, Cole Standley, Jacob Tanguma, Billy Theroux and Ryan Beaty.
AC’s luck didn’t hold up on Saturday, with the Roadrunners dropping a pair of one-run heartbreakers to the Bulldogs, losing 5-4 (on a Navarro walk-off) and 7-6 in Corsicana.
The ‘Runners (16-18, 5-10) are scheduled to face Panola College in a three-game series this week beginning Wednesday in Carthage. Wednesday’s single, nine-inning game starts at 3 p.m., and Saturday’s doubleheader against the Ponies is set for a 3 p.m. first pitch at Poland Stadium on the AC campus.
Lady Roadrunner Basketball Hosting Tryout Camp in April
AC’s Lady Roadrunners just wrapped up a season in which the team qualified for the conference tournament in head coach Randy McKelvey’s first season at the helm, and they’re looking to reload for the future.
The Lady ‘Runners will host a tryout camp for prospective players from 2-5 p.m. on Saturday, April 5 at Shands Gymnasium. Cost is $40 per player.
Here’s the link for registration and other information:
Over the past few years, Camp Roadrunner has become a “gotta do” event for youngsters throughout East Texas, with the recreational and youth sports camps drawing bigger crowds every summer.
Following are the dates for each Youth Sports Camp:
Baseball: June 2-5
Soccer: June 9-12; July 7-10
Basketball: June 9-12
Softball: June 9-12

Every leader faces setbacks. Whether it’s a failed project, financial loss, team conflict, or personal disappointment, the path of leadership isn’t a straight line upward. But for faith-driven leaders, setbacks aren’t the end—they’re a setup for a greater comeback.
In Entrepreneurship God’s Way, I share that resilience is more than grit. It’s the ability to rise again not in your own strength, but through trust in God’s promises and purpose. Resilient leadership means choosing to stand firm in faith when everything around you feels uncertain.
Biblical Resilience: Strength in Surrender
The Bible is full of leaders who faced massive trials yet emerged stronger because they trusted God:
Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, enslaved, and imprisoned—yet he rose to lead Egypt.
David was hunted, slandered, and outnumbered—but God still made him king.
Paul was beaten, shipwrecked, and jailed—but he changed the world with the gospel.
Their resilience came not from self-confidence, but from God-confidence.
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” – 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
Keys to Resilient Faith-Driven Leadership
Anchor Yourself in God’s Promises When challenges hit, go back to Scripture. Meditate on God’s faithfulness, and let His Word shape your mindset.
Pray Through the Pressure God isn’t just watching from a distance—He walks with us in the fire. Bring your frustration, fear, and questions to Him in honest prayer.
Refocus on Your Purpose When setbacks happen, it’s easy to lose sight of your mission. Revisit the “why” behind your work. Faith-driven leaders aren’t in it for quick wins—they’re in it to make a difference for the Kingdom.
Let Setbacks Refine You Don’t waste a trial. Ask God what He wants to teach you through the struggle. Sometimes the hardest seasons produce the deepest growth.
Surround Yourself with Encouragers Isolation breeds discouragement. Lean into community, mentors, and fellow believers who will lift you up in prayer and speak truth when you feel defeated.
From Breakdown to Breakthrough
Resilient leadership isn’t about never falling—it’s about always rising again. When you lead with faith, you recognize that every valley can become a training ground for greater impact.
If you’re in a tough season, remember: God isn’t finished with you yet. Keep trusting. Keep moving forward. Keep leading with resilience.

Are You Losing Customers Without Even Realizing It?
Marketing is the lifeline of your business, but even small mistakes can drive potential customers away. Many business owners unknowingly make errors that hurt their brand, weaken their messaging, and reduce conversions. Here’s a look at the most common marketing mistakes—and how to fix them.
The Top Marketing Mistakes Businesses Make
1. Neglecting a Clear Brand Message
If customers can’t quickly understand who you are, what you offer, and why they should choose you, they’ll move on.
Fix It: Develop a clear, concise brand message that highlights your unique value proposition. Ensure this messaging is consistent across your website, social media, and marketing materials.
2. Ignoring Customer Engagement
Many businesses treat marketing as a one-way street, constantly promoting their services without engaging with their audience.
Fix It: Respond to comments, messages, and reviews. Ask questions, start conversations, and create content that encourages interaction.
3. Not Having a Defined Target Audience
Trying to market to “everyone” means you’re effectively reaching no one. Generic messaging doesn’t connect with customers.
Fix It: Identify your ideal customer and tailor your marketing efforts specifically to their needs, pain points, and desires.
4. Relying Solely on Organic Traffic
While organic reach is important, relying on it alone can severely limit your growth.
Fix It: Invest in paid advertising, such as social media ads or Google Ads, to expand your reach and attract more qualified leads.
5. Failing to Track and Adjust Strategies
If you’re not measuring your results, you’re marketing blindly. Many businesses set marketing campaigns in motion but never analyze their effectiveness.
Fix It: Use analytics tools to track key performance indicators (KPIs) like engagement, conversion rates, and return on investment (ROI). Adjust your strategy based on what works.

TEXAS FOREST COUNTRY – With electricity prices in Texas on the rise, many residents are wondering how to get the best deal—and how to protect their wallets from unexpected spikes. Whether you’re a homeowner, business owner, or renter, one of the most important choices you’ll make is whether to choose a fixed-rate or variable-rate electricity plan.
Here in East Texas, where summers are hot and energy usage climbs fast, the type of plan you choose can have a big impact on your monthly bill.
Let’s take a closer look at what each option means—and which one might be the smartest move in 2025.
Fixed-Rate Plans: Stability You Can Count On
A fixed-rate plan keeps your price per kilowatt-hour locked in for the duration of your contract—usually 12 to 36 months.
Why Fixed Rate Might Be Best:
No surprises on your bill—even when the market fluctuates
Easier budgeting for families and businesses
Protection from sudden price hikes, like those caused by major weather events or fuel shortages
With ERCOT’s latest projections showing electricity prices climbing above $130 per megawatt-hour for summer 2025, fixed-rate plans are looking more appealing than ever.
Variable-Rate Plans: Flexible but Risky
A variable-rate plan means your rate changes month-to-month based on the market. This might seem appealing when prices are low—but it comes with risk.
Why Variable-Rate May Not Be Ideal Right Now:
Your rate can skyrocket in the heat of summer
Harder to predict your bill, which can strain your budget
Energy prices are already rising, and experts say they’ll likely keep going up
The 2025 Forecast: What the Experts Say
According to ERCOT’s March 2025 report:
Summer electricity prices are projected to rise by over 100% compared to pre-2020 levels
Demand is being driven by AI computing, data centers, and population growth
Even with more solar power coming online, energy supply still can’t keep up
In other words, the risk of waiting is high. If you delay and prices jump again, you could be stuck paying more.
What’s the Best Choice for Families in East Texas?
For most of us, especially in a region like the Texas Forest Country, a fixed-rate plan offers the peace of mind and price protection we need. It’s the best way to stay ahead of price spikes, especially heading into another hot Texas summer.
Take Action Before Summer Hits
Don’t wait until the next heatwave to think about your electricity bill. Now is the time to review your options and lock in a good rate.

Course Part of Historical Development Center’s Growth
Nigton is a tiny, unincorporated area sitting just outside Apple Springs, with fewer than 100 residents listed. The area itself lies off the beaten path of FM 2262, so it certainly qualifies as “rural.”
The residents there take great pride in their community, and a little more than a year ago, they banded together behind Elonda Lee’s idea to erect the Nigton Historical Development Center – a central location providing activities and events for the local populace. The center provided everything from after-school care to homecoming celebrations for former residents. Dr. LaToya Hernandez, executive director of the facility, said it all came about through “grant writing and selling turkey legs on the corner.”
In a partnership with Angelina College, one of the new activities now includes a phlebotomy course in which students can earn their certifications in a high-demand field.
Kim Meshell, Health Careers Training Specialist Manager at AC, said the idea for holding classes at the center originated from a conversation with Hernandez, who served as a driving force behind the facility’s growth.
“Dr. Hernandez approached me and said she was thinking of ways to bring their community together, to help put them on the map,” Meshell said. “I figured it would help Angelina College as well. They’re going to hold actual Phlebotomy classes right here in this Development Center.
“When she approached me, I ran with it. I set it up, and we got the students together. I have an instructor (Chris Dickens) who’s going to teach the class here two nights per week.”
Hernandez, a resident of the area with a long history working in education, said it took a measure of collaboration to see the project come to fruition.
“Of course, this is a group effort,” Hernandez said. “We started this as a project to bring resources to this rural area. We have people who don’t have the transportation or access to resources in Lufkin. So why not bring it here? Make it feasible for residents to attend and have the opportunity to earn a degree or certificate? Maybe build their boat to a degree in health care?
“The medical field is booming, and this helps bring something to [residents] related to that field.”
Hernandez said earlier partnerships with Angelina College helped foster the idea of even more potential for growth.
“We actually started with Cindy Neal at AC with the GED program,” Hernandez said. “So this is our first certification program, and we’re just kind of piggy-backing off the success of the GED initiative. We’re making great things happen here in Nigton.”
“I served on the board with LaToya on the Adult Learning Center, and that’s how we met,” Meshell added. “We started talking about what we could do. I asked her what we could offer, and she knew my role at AC. She started by looking into what we could offer this entire community.”
“We’ve been working on this since fall of last year.”
As always, one good idea leads to another. Hernandez said the community already is looking to expand its opportunities to educate and qualify those men and women looking to build their futures through Angelina College.
“Right now, Apple Springs has a four-day school week, so we offer after-school programs,” Hernandez said. “We would like to see more opportunities such as the truck driver program (AC’s Commercial Driver’s License program), forklift operator certifications, etc. We have these kids coming up, and when we ask them what they want to do when they grow up, they have no idea. We want them to see the different career fields available to them. We have career professionals come in to meet with them, and we’d like to see more vocational – hands-on – programs available.
“I was a Lufkin ISD Special Services Counselor for many years, and from that experience, I know that not everyone is set up for a typical academic approach to college,” Hernandez said. “We have people with hands-on skills, and they’re ready to work. We partner with the Texas Workforce Commission, as well as others.”
Charles Mark, president of the Nigton Historical Development Center, said the recent partnerships have been a pleasant surprise.
“We didn’t think at first it would grow to be this big,” Mark said. “We just wanted the center for the community, to have something for the kids to gather and have fun.
“We didn’t count on all this going on now, but we’re sure glad it’s happening.”
Governor Greg Abbott appointed Andrew Polk to the Texas Farm and Ranch Lands Conservation Council for a term set to expire on February 1, 2029. The Council’s duties are to advise and assist the Texas Farm and Ranch Lands Conservation Program (TFRLCP) with administration of the program and to select applicants to receive grants. The goal of the TFRLCP is conservation of working lands with high values for water, fish and wildlife, and agricultural production.
Andrew Polk of Lufkin is senior vice president and commercial lender at Angelina Savings Bank and partner of Polk Land & Cattle Company. He is a member of the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, where he serves as vice chair of the Natural Resources Committee. Polk received a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture Leadership and Development from Texas A&M University and a certificate in Ranch Management from Texas Christian University. This appointment is subject to Senate confirmation.
On Saturday, March 29, we celebrate Vietnam Veteran’s Day and honor the men and women who served overseas during the Vietnam War. We should always remember the selfless sacrifice of our armed service members who answered the call of their country, served honorably, and, too often, returned to a nation that did not honor their service until years after they got home. Let us never forget the service and dedication of the 2.7 million veterans who served in that war and hold the memories of the 58,000 soldiers who did not return close to our hearts.
With that, here’s an update from your State Capitol…
Capitol Update
This past week, I had the opportunity to lay out six of my bills, before the Committee that each of them have been assigned to. Four of those bills, House Bills 2000, 2103, 2115, and 2563 are among my top priorities for this session.
I had the honor of laying out House Bill 2000, Audrii’s Law, before the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee in memory of Audrii Cunningham. I am very grateful that Audrii’s grandparents, Tabitha and Phillip Munsch along with other family members and friends, could be in Austin for the hearing.
As Tabitha said, the tragic death of Audrii is the catalyst for change to ensure that her death was not in vain and that we close legal loopholes to protect our children from dangerous sexual predators. I’m pleased to report that HB 2000 was voted unanimously out of the Committee, and I look forward to bringing this bill to the House floor for a vote in the near future.
HB 2103 and 2115 are both bills that aim to provide more assistance to our rural law enforcement offices and officers. HB 2103 adds jailers employed by sheriffs and the TDCJ to the list of public safety employees entitled to mental health leave.
HB 2115 adds dispatchers to the list of employees in sheriff’s offices eligible for a salary or raise from the Rural Sheriff’s Office Grant Program. Rural areas have a pressing shortage of emergency dispatchers in sheriff’s offices, which presents numerous operational challenges for our law enforcement personnel in responding to emergencies within their jurisdictions.
HB 2563 creates the Prescribed Burn Manager Self-Insurance Program, which would be administered by the Texas A&M Forrest Service. This bill provides general liability insurance for Certified Insurance Prescribed Burn Managers conducting prescribed burns across Texas to reduce our wildfire risk through responsible land management.
The mobile office is on the road again in April and looks forward to seeing you on the following dates, in the following locations: April 2 at the San Augustine County Courthouse from 9:30-11:30 am; April 9 at the Polk County Commissioner’s Court Room in Livingston from 9:30-11:30 am, or at the Tyler County Courthouse in Woodville from 1:30-3:30 pm; April 16 at the Houston County Courthouse Annex in Crockett from 9:30-11:30 am, or at the Trinity County Courthouse in Groveton from 1:30-3:30 pm.
As always, please do not hesitate to contact my office if we can help you in any way. My district office may be reached at (936) 634-2762. Additionally, I welcome you to follow along on my Official Facebook Page, where I will post regular updates on what’s happening in your State Capitol and share information that could be useful to you and your family: https://www.facebook.com/RepTrentAshby/.
It has been a great week. At the George H Henderson Expo Center in Lufkin, youth and volunteers have just about wrapped up another wonderful Angelina County Fair. You will read in other parts of the news about the placings, the livestock, agricultural mechanics, foods, crafts, and other activities that took place. I hope you know about our “Reach for The Stars Show” for kids with special needs. We’ve added shooting sports a couple of years ago, and this year for the first time, a “trailer build-off” competition. Undoubtedly there is the generous support of the buyers at the auction in addition to Round Tabel that awarded $52,500 to 35 graduating Seniors 35 deserving graduating Seniors this year in Angelina County.
And as the auction gets underway late this afternoon, and the ribbons, buckles, and banners will be on display. I would be remiss not to say a special thank you to all the volunteers who make each year’s show a success.
Volunteers are truly the heroes behind the scenes who make our Angelina County Fair successful.
The first contests of the Fair started on Monday. Those were public speaking, shotgun, and archery. The public speaking event was led by Jennifer Reynolds and Bo David Williford. Shooting sports competitions such as shotgun and archery were led by volunteers Heather McCall, Christi Grandgeorge, and Ryan Merrel.
The Home Economics Division is such a large effort that Janna Brazil and Joel Redus are needed to lead this event. Additionally, there were over 35 others that stepped forward for all the organization and judging. Yes, the judges do get to partake in some of the best cakes, pies, cheesecakes, breads, and cookies around, but they also must test and quiz the students about the ingredients, preparation, and nutritional value.
The Floral Design competition is in its second year and is led by Ashlyn Childress, an Agricultural Science Instructor from Hudson FFA. Carrie Shockley is the Arts and Crafts superintendent and oversees the numerous volunteers and judges that help check in and evaluate the projects.
Superintendents for the livestock show divisions include Melanie Murray, Westin Reynolds, Delbert Reynolds, Dillon Mason, Stephen Shockley, Mike Whiteman, Anna Lamb, Heith Garcia, and Summer Garcia. Each of these men and women also have several folks who help with validation, check-in, opening gates, and several other tasks for each show.
There are “open events” where you don’t have to be a 4-H or FFA member in Angelina County to participate. These include the BBQ cook-off, the washer tournament, and the ‘Reach for the Stars’ special needs show. For those competitions, the respective superintendents are, Charlie Gumbles, Melissa Wheeler, and Karen Stafford.
The Ag-Mech division is led by Kevin Martin and the newest event this year was the Trailer Build-Off which was headed up by Matthew Edwards.
Anita Carraway oversees the Youth Ambassador program. If you watched any part of the Fair, you saw youth in blue vests helping. This youth volunteer program strives to provide high school aged youth fair participants the opportunity to develop and practice advanced leadership skills and become an advocate for their county fair division. Applications are due in mid-September and those selected are responsible for workshops leading up the Fair, helping during their assigned division, as well as generally helping whenever they may be needed.
The Lufkin/Angelina County Chamber of Commerce has numerous volunteers that give of their time for the Fair. The County Fair Board consists of Bo David Williford, Barbara Morton, Pat Penn, Charlie Grumbles, Ashlyn Cole, Anita Carraway, Preston Loggins, Steve Milligan, Codie Jenkins, Justin Risner, Scott Slusher, Melissa Wheeler, Stephen Corley, Chad Murray, and Chris Carraway. The Board chairman is Todd Kassaw.
Kody Jenkins is the Executive Director for our Fair and does a phenomenal job year-round to ensure a successful event for exhibitors and families alike.
Finally, donors to the auction help reward the youth on Saturday evening. Brookshire Brothers is our presenting sponsor for the Fair. There are numerous, fantastic businesses and families that support the auction, and I also want to personally thank those of you who donated any amount to one of the buyer pools.
If you want to join the auction virtually, donate to the auction, or check out pictures of this year’s winners, go to www.angelinacountyfair.com.
