Livestock show honors generous Seven Points veterinarian




The Kaufman County Junior Livestock Show recently honored Seven Points veterinarian Dr. Lisa Jones with the “President’s Award” for her contributions to local youth involved with livestock.

Jones is a well-known philanthropist in the Cedar Creek Lake area, and she runs a busy veterinarian clinic. In addition to small pets like cats and dogs, she also treats cows, horses and other livestock.


Jones graduated from Scurry-Rosser High School, where she was active in livestock shows.

 

Jones is also known for her compassion for sick and homeless animals. She recently housed a young puppy abandoned on a county road and nursed it back to health before finding it a permanent home.


Her latest project is the development of a scholarship honoring Frances Weeng, a former teacher in the Scurry-Rosser School District who passed away late last year.

Jones described Weeng as animal lover who didn’t want a memorial service held for her. “This is a way I think we can all honor her,” Jones said.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 17)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.00 feet at pool. Hybrid striped bass and white bass have made a full recovery from the spawn and are now back in the main lake in droves and are on a feeding frenzy. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the Dam on edges of drop offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. The Hybrids and Whitebass have started schooling in water from 6-14 feet at the dam and any wind blown shallow point or seawall. Late evening schooling action is also happening in shallow coves and points throughout the lake. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits and retrieving off the bottom at a very slow retrieve to catch these fish in depths of 8-16 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service.
