Kemp HIgh School student turns heads across state playing jazz on guitar




Cameron Polk gave the Kemp Independent School District Board of Trustees a taste of his skill playing jazz on his guitar at the school board meeting Jan. 20.

For Board Appreciation Day students from all campuses entertained the trustees with creative work that included a skit, a dramatic reading, and art exhibit along with Polk's music.

In 2014, Polk made first chair at the Region 3 Jazz Band Auditions, first chair in the All-Region Jazz Band and first chair in State competition.

On Feb. 11 Polk will travel to San Antonio for the annual Texas Music Educators Association Convention where he and the best jazz players from across the state will perform with the All-State Jazz Band.

Polk is the son of former KISD Board President Melinda Polk and Kaufman Independent School District Band Director Jimmy Polk.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

EXCELLENT. Slightly stained; 70 degrees; 0.40 feet above 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.
