Amon Carter reopened, along with Selma Park

Published

on

Late Friday afternoon, Lake Amon G. Carter was reopened after being closed almost two weeks due to flooding.
Selma Park also reopened during the weekend, but the campground still does not have electrical power due to water damage.
The reopening came at 3:41 p.m. on June 7 when the lake was still just above the 922 msl mark city officials had earmarked as the point the lake could reopen. At its height in the last two weeks, the lake level was at 923.25 msl.
Friday morning the lake was at 922.48 msl which is 2.48 above the full level of 920 msl. It met the mark on June 9 at 922.02 msl.
While the lake has reopened Friday for boating, fishing and swimming, due to the high water levels everyone is urged to be cautious of debris. On June 11 the lake level was 921.81 msl at 8:30 a.m.

Remember to fall back on Saturday night for Sunday time change

Published

Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 3, so before you go to bed Saturday night move your clocks back one hour.
There have been efforts to get the time change thrown out, but it continues to be in governmental limbo.
What is the future of daylight saving time? On March 15, 2022, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. But it will not become law until the House of Representatives votes and the president signs off.
The Sunshine Protection Act, stalled in 2023. A group of senators reintroduced the bill again this year and it has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to review and it is stuck in committee.
