TxDOT Centennial Northeast Texas Celebration at Paris May 8, 2017

TxDOT Centennial Northeast Texas Celebration at Paris May 8, 2017

PARIS – This year marks a centennial milestone of achievement for the Texas Department of Transportation and its employees statewide. To celebrate the agency’s first 100 years of service to Texas, the nine-county Paris District in Northeast Texas will host a Centennial Open House from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 8 at the Love Civic Center in Paris.

The event will feature a traveling historic exhibit with a refurbished 1918 Liberty Truck, graphic banners, and some interesting items that have been used in the agency’s century-long history. This centennial event, and others slated statewide throughout the year, highlight TxDOT’s ongoing mission of connecting Texans to what matters most – the people and places they love.

Visitors at the Paris event will also get to compare the historic 1918 Liberty Truck to several pieces of modern equipment that agency employees use every day in their maintenance and construction work. They will also have a chance to discuss the agency’s work in Northeast Texas with representatives of the district’s four area offices.

As the state’s economy and population continue to grow, TxDOT remains committed to meeting Texas’ ongoing and ever-changing transportation needs. In the early 1900s, the goal was connecting farms and ranches to market; today, it’s safely moving goods and a population of more than 27 million across a nation-leading 80,000 miles of state-maintained roadways – even in the midst of historic growth in our population and trade.

Sophomore Baier Qualifies for State 300-Meter Hurdles

WildcatsSophomore Lady Cats’ track athlete Abbi Baier qualified for the state meet in the 300-meter hurdles at the regional meet Saturday at UTA Stadium in Arlington. Baier, was seeded fourth in the field for the final on Saturday but took second. Lady Cats Coach Triston Abron said Baier just beat out a Royse City hurdler to earn the state berth. The state meet takes place May 12-13 in Austin. Coach Abron believes Baier is the first Lady Cats’ track athlete to go to state since the 1990’s. Coach Abron and Hurdles Coach Derek Tyson have high hopes for Baier at the state meet. Her best time is close to those with the best times in the state field for the 300-meter hurdles.

Coach Abron had six athletes competing at the regional meet. On Friday final events, junior Imani Taylor finished sixth in the long jump and Sydney Washburn was eleventh in the 3200-meter run. In prelims, any relay team’s nightmare occurred to the Lady Cats 4 X 100-meter relay team as they had a dropped baton during a hand off. They did not finish the race. The Lady Cats 4 X 200-meter relay team bounced back and finished ninth in a preliminary race. Only the top eight advanced to Saturday’s final. Baier competed in the 100-meter hurdles but was unable to qualify for Saturday’s final. N’ysa Dugan again shattered the school record in the prelim for the 100-meter dash. Dugan was second in her heat and qualified for Saturday’s final. Saturday Dugan finished sixth in the 100-meter final.

With several counties having difficulty receiving funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency Hopkins County has employed former commissioner for Precinct 1 Beth Wisenbaker to assist with getting the paper work satisfactorily through the FEMA process according to County Judge Robert Newsom. Wisenbaker’s experience with FEMA will prove to be an asset according to Newsom.

The work that FEMA will reimburse has already been performed according to the judge. He stated that his duties and that of the commissioners in repairing and reworking roadways demands the necessity of adding Wisenbaker’s expertise to the mix. She does not work every day but has been given a small office next to the County Judge’s office to facilitate her work and the communication of paperwork between the county and FEMA.
