^{By Jayce Jewett, Local Fisherman}

Water temperatures are ranging from the upper 70s to low 80s this week, and the lake level is a little over a foot and a half below normal. Largemouth bass are being caught around main lake docks on small jigs, drop shots, and finesse soft plastics. They are also feeding heavily on shad around rocky areas, so shad-imitating lures have been effective. White bass are holding on main lake points and shallow humps, with trolling being effective. Hybrid bass are being caught on main lake underwater points and drop-offs using swimbaits and slabs.

With football season underway that also means our Football contest is still continuing.

The City of Quinlan is developing a Downtown Master Plan to help guide the future of Downtown Quinlan. The plan will consider opportunities related to businesses and economic development, streets and sidewalks, public spaces, community identity, development and other improvements.

The planning process is still in its early stages. No specific projects or recommendations have been decided. Citizen feedback will help the city understand what residents, business owners, property owners, and visitors value about Downtown Quinlan today and what they would like to see in the future.

For purposes of this survey, "Downtown Quinlan" generally refers to the area shown on the map below, centered along Main Street. A larger supporting area is also shown because improvements and development near downtown may influence the downtown area.

The survey should take approximately 10-12 minutes.

West Tawakoni City Council took a meaningful step in honoring America's wounded and fallen service members when Mayor Christopher Burkett officially proclaimed West Tawakoni a Purple Heart City.
The proclamation followed a request from Paul Smith, a Purple Heart recipient, member of the American Legion and the organization's Finance Officer. Smith came before the
council with a simple but powerful request: that West Tawakoni officially recognize the
sacrifices of Purple Heart recipients by becoming a Purple Heart City. The response from the council was unanimous. And with that vote, West Tawakoni became part of a community of cities and towns across America that have chosen to publicly honor those who have sacrificed so much in service to our country.

Being a Purple Heart City is about much more than a title. The Purple Heart is awarded to
members of the United States Armed Forces who have been wounded or killed as a result of enemy action. Behind every Purple Heart is a story—a service member who put their country before themselves, a family who waited and worried, and often a lifetime of memories connected to those sacrifices. By becoming a Purple Heart City, West Tawakoni is making a promise that those sacrifices will not simply become a part of history that people forget. “We will remember them.”
The designation gives our community an opportunity to recognize Purple Heart recipients, honor veterans, educate our children and future generations, and bring greater awareness to the sacrifices made by members of our military and their families.
It can also open the door for future community events, memorials and partnerships with
organizations such as the West Tawakoni American Legion and other veteran organizations. For a small town, this designation can have a surprisingly big impact. It gives West Tawakoni another way to celebrate the men and women who have worn the uniform. It provides
opportunities for residents, businesses, civic groups, schools and city organizations to
participate in honoring veterans roughout the year. By Stephannie Barnett

The wait is finally over! The Lake Tawakoni Regional Chamber of Commerce Back to the ’80s Casino Night is almost here, and it’s time to pull those leg warmers out of the closet, tease that hair, break out the neon and get ready to party like it’s 1985!

On Saturday, Oct. 10, the chamber will magically transport guests back to one of the most colorful and unforgettable decades for an evening of ’80s fun, casino excitement, food, music and community fellowship.

The event will be held from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at American National Bank of Texas in Quinlan and is open to the public for guests 21 and older. And this isn't just any casino night. Guests are encouraged to dress up and go all out with their favorite ’80s look! Think big hair, neon colors, shoulder pads, leg warmers, denim, workout gear, rock-star fashion and all those outrageous styles that made the ’80s unforgettable. Whether you want to channel your inner ’80s rock star, dance your way through the decade or simply come dressed in your favorite retro look, this is your chance to have some fun with it!

The evening will bring together the excitement of casino-style entertainment with the opportunity to socialize with friends, fellow Chamber members, local businesses and community supporters. But while the evening is designed to be a whole lot of fun, it also serves an important purpose—supporting the Lake Tawakoni Regional Chamber of Commerce and the work it does throughout our communities. By Stephannie Barnett

The West Tawakoni City Council met in a special session and workshop on Oct. 6, with a full agenda covering city operations, water and sewer matters, employee policies, information management, and an important discussion about honoring veterans.

The council addressed several items involving the city's ongoing business and operations. Among the new business items was a resolution designating Council Member Ramsey Lindsey, Place 2, as the City Council liaison for the review, monitoring and reconciliation of franchise fees, right-of-way compensation and related revenues received from cable, telecommunications, internet, electric and other utility or communications providers. The resolution was approved by a unanimous vote.

The council also considered a resolution authorizing the mayor to designate Council Member Lindsey as the City Council liaison for short-term rental and hotel occupancy tax
compliance and collection, including defining the scope and limitations of that assignment. This item was also approved unanimously.

The agenda also included a presentation regarding the City's Microsoft 365 Information
Management Manual. Following discussion, the item was tabled to allow additional information to be gathered and reviewed before it returns for consideration.

Council also approved a proclamation designating West Tawakoni as a “Purple Heart City”. See story here.

The council's agenda also included discussion of several ongoing city matters, including the status of the Water/Sewer rate study and the city's application for financial assistance from the Texas Water Development Board for water system improvements, as well as a list of grants the city has applied for during 2026.

Also discussed were City Hall hours and modifications to the employee handbook during new business.

The council also entered into executive session to discuss personnel matters involving the City Administrator, City Secretary, Public Works Director and Senior Public Works Technician position, as authorized under the Texas Government Code.

Community Announcements
The upcoming Fall Festival with Trunk or Treat was also highlighted. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 31, from 4 to 9 p.m. at the City Park, giving families an opportunity to come together for an evening of fall fun.

Keep West Tawakoni Beautiful community cleanup, marking the final cleanup of the year.
Saturday Oct. 10 from 8 am to 12 noon or until dumpsters are full. These cleanup efforts
continue to be an important part of keeping West Tawakoni looking its best and encouraging residents to take pride in their community. Open to all West Tawakoni residents for residential items only.

Mayor Chris Burkett took time during the meeting to recognize the people who continue to work behind the scenes to keep the city moving forward. He expressed his appreciation to city staff, members of the City Council and the Public Works Department for their hard work and dedication to West Tawakoni. “From maintaining city services and infrastructure to organizing community activities and addressing the many issues facing a growing community, the work of these individuals often happens without much recognition,” he said.

Quinlan City Council meets Monday, Oct. 12, in regular session beginning at 7 pm in the council chambers.

Council is to consider and take possible action on an ordinance amending Chapter 9 of the city’s Code or Ordinance regarding “personnel” and “police”. It is also to approve an ordinance amending the city’s investment policy.

Council is also scheduled to hear the Fire and Police Departments’ monthly reports.

Under executive session, there are four topics on the agenda. Council will consult the city’s attorney regarding litigation involving the city and Quinlan Volunteer Fire Department; deliberate on financial incentives regarding the development of certain properties on Main Street; and deliberate on personnel matters regarding “the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment or duties of the Public Works Director, Police Chief, Police Sergeant and Police Officers.

Following the closed session, the council will reconvene in open session and possibly take action of items discussed in executive session.

Last week, the West Tawakoni Public Works Department faced a major challenge when a 10-inch water main suffered a significant break, sending an enormous amount of water rushing from the system and creating difficult conditions for the crew working to make the necessary repairs.
According to information shared publicly by West Tawakoni City Councilman Place 2
Ramsey Lindsey, the break at one point resulted in the loss of approximately 970 gallons of water per minute—more than 16 gallons every second.
The flow was so strong that two pumps were unable to keep the excavation area pumped down enough for workers to safely access the damaged pipe and complete the repair. The crew eventually had to shut off a valve and take the pressure off that section of the water system before they could move forward with the repair. For the residents who may have only seen the boil-water notice or experienced an interruption
in their water service, the situation behind the scenes was much more complicated.

The boil-water notice was issued as a precaution following the significant loss of pressure in the water system. A boil-water notice does not necessarily mean contamination has been discovered. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality explains that water systems may issue a notice following circumstances such as low pressure, water outages, line breaks or epairs because those conditions can potentially compromise the protection of the public water supply.

For West Tawakoni's Public Works crew, the priority was getting the problem under control and restoring the system as safely and quickly as possible.

Water main breaks are one of those emergencies that can be easy to take for granted.
Residents turn on a faucet and expect water to come out. When something goes wrong
underground, however, a tremendous amount of work can take place before normal service returns.

That effort deserves recognition. The men and women of the West Tawakoni Public Works Department worked through difficult conditions to protect the community's water system and restore service. A special thank-you tothe entire West Tawakoni Public Works crew for stepping up, tackling a difficult situation and working hard for the citizens they serve.By Stephannie Barnett

Quinlan Animal Clinic Needs Our Help — Every Towel and Blanket Can Make a Difference.
Sometimes, helping the animals in our community doesn’t require a huge donation. Sometimes, it’s something as simple as an old towel or a small blanket sitting unused in a closet. Right now, the Quinlan Animal Clinic is asking the Tawakoni community to help fill a very real need.

The clinic is seeking donations of new or gently used towels and small- to medium-sized blankets for the dogs and cats in their care. These everyday items may seem simple, but at the clinic, they are used constantly to help provide animals with a place that is warm, clean, comfortable and cozy while they receive the care they need.For an animal that may already be frightened, sick, injured or unsure of what is happening, something as comforting as a soft blanket can make a tremendous difference.

If you have extra towels or small-to-medium blankets at home that you no longer use, please consider donating them.

And when many people give just a little, together we can make a BIG difference.
Donations of new or gently used towels and small/medium-sized blankets can be dropped off at: Quinlan Animal Clinic. By Stephannie Barnett

Boles Hornets — District Opener

The Lone Oak Buffaloes faced a tough test at home last Friday, falling to Grand Saline, 54-0.

Despite the difficult night, the Buffaloes remain 1-1 in district play and will have an opportunity to get back on track this Friday when they hit the road to take on Prairiland.

Leading the Buffaloes offensively was Colt Bowman, who completed 12 of 27 passes for 174 yards. Bowman also contributed on the ground, rushing for 35 yards on 23 carries.

Lane Westbrook led the Buffaloes in receiving with 68 yards, providing a key target in the Lone Oak passing attack.

While the scoreboard did not go the Buffaloes' way, the team will look to learn from last week's matchup and use it as motivation moving forward. District play is about responding to adversity, and Lone Oak will have another opportunity to do just that on Friday night.

The Buffaloes will travel to Prairiland this Friday looking to turn the page, compete for four quarters and add another district victory to their record.

The Quinlan Lady Panthers are continuing to battle through a challenging stretch of district volleyball as they search for their first district victory.

Quinlan traveled to Farmersville last Friday but came up short, falling 3-0. (10-25, 12-25, 18-25) The Lady Panthers returned to the court Tuesday night in Caddo Mills, where they again battled through three sets before dropping the match 3-0. (15-25, 12-25, 18-25)

Despite the recent setbacks, the Lady Panthers have continued to compete and will have another opportunity to turn things around this Friday when they travel to Wills Point.

A district season can be a grind, and Quinlan will look to put the recent losses behind them and focus on the opportunity ahead. With the first district win still within reach, the Lady Panthers will look to play with confidence, energy and determination from the opening serve.

Friday night presents another chance for Quinlan to break through and earn that first district victory.

Next Match: Friday
Location: Wills Point
Goal: First District Win

Come out and support the Lady Panthers as they hit the road looking to make some noise and get their first district win!

The Boles Lady Hornets continue to battle through a challenging district schedule as they search for their first district victory of the season.

Boles traveled to PTAA Greenville last Friday and came up short, falling 3-0. (20-25, 18-25, 19-25) The Lady Hornets returned home Tuesday night to face Trenton but were unable to get the result they were looking for, dropping the match 3-0. (10-25, 26-28, 14-25)

Despite the recent losses, the Lady Hornets continue to compete and will have another opportunity to turn things around this Friday when they return home to face PTAA Fate.

With their first district win still within reach, Boles will look to put the previous matches behind them and focus on the opportunity in front of them. A strong start, consistent play and the support of the home crowd could provide the spark the Lady Hornets need to break through.

Friday's match gives Boles another chance to build momentum and earn that elusive first district victory.

Next Match: Friday
Opponent: PTAA Fate
Location: Boles — Home
Goal: First District Win

Come out and support the Lady Hornets as they defend their home court and battle for their first district win!

The Lone Oak Lady Buffaloes continue to make their mark in district play, entering the week in first place with a 6-2 district record.

Lone Oak defended its home court last Friday against Mount Vernon, coming away with a 3-1 victory. (25-17, 25-13, 10-25, 25-21)

The Lady Buffaloes carried that momentum into Tuesday’s matchup, once again playing at home and defeating Quitman 3-1. (16-25, 25-16, 25-20, 25-21)

The back-to-back victories keep Lone Oak at the top of the district standings and give the Lady Buffaloes valuable momentum as the district race continues.

Next up, Lone Oak will hit the road Friday to take on Prairiland. The Lady Buffaloes will look to keep their winning ways going and maintain their position at the top of the district.

With the district race heating up, every match becomes increasingly important. Lone Oak will look to stay focused, continue playing with confidence and carry its recent momentum into Friday’s matchup.

The Lady Buffaloes are rolling — and they’ll look to keep it going Friday at Prairiland!
