About 10 years too late on both schools getting turf; back to my point that while its 2019 in most parts of Texas, it’s still 2001 in the 409

Glad y'all getting turf, will be nice improvement.  Any word if improved parking is on the agenda for near future?

Haven’t heard anything but I’d assume at some point they would add parking where all the portable buildings are that are currently housing our 5th graders and Oak Forest Elementary due to Harvey. Our 6th graders are at the Junior High with the 7th and 8th graders.  FEMA funding is tied up in that situation to get a new middle school and a new Oak Forest Elementary. Our schools are just as old as Nederlands so we feel y’all’s pain. It’ll eventually get worked out. Good Luck passing that bond.

Thanks.  You guys been through a lot.  Hope the turf is installed in time for football season.  I know those kids have got to be excited.  FEMA is taking their sweet time on getting you guys the help you need, but I know it will all get worked out for ya.

The turf is suppose to be finished by August weather permitting but you know how that goes in Southeast Texas! And yes all the kids are pumped. All Junior High and High School Football games will be played on it including Soccer. Come on Football Season!

Believe me they’re already getting the word out on social media an they will be voting Yes! They’ve been pushing for new schools and a new field for Years! 

Every little bit helped.  Thank goodness both proposals passed.

Anyone know if and when they are suppose to start laying down the turf? Someone had to do progress pics for us as time goes on with the project 

Supposed to start sometime after school let out and be finished before they return to school in August.  So, lots of time to work with, but no clue if they've started yet or not. 

I was just at the High School earlier but didn't even think about driving back there to see if they are working yet or not.

The last time i drove by there a couple of weeks ago they had everything all dug up.  I'm not sure what the process is but I guess they would have to level the ground and then start the slab. 

Are they using the same folks who did the WOS field?

Have no idea what they’re putting in the center of the football field, but they’ll have to get fancy to beat the guy (now retired I hear) who used to paint it for HC.  He was very good.

Oh!  It has to be a Pirate flag.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
