PLATTSBURGH, N.Y., July 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Â Bryan Schmitt talked all week about special little things that were happening to help him maintain the lead at the Guaranteed Rate Bassmaster Elite at Lake Champlain.
But the most special one happened just 15 minutes before Sunday s final weigh-in, as Schmitt landed a 3 1/2-pound smallmouth that gave him a 12-ounce upgrade and allowed him to secure his first Elite Series win with a four-day total of 78 pounds, 5 ounces.

Call it luck. Call it fate. But the win seemed meant to be for the second-year Elite Series pro from Deale, Md. I pulled up to a buoy cable this afternoon right before time to come in and saw two fish on my (Garmin) LiveScope, Schmitt said. I threw that drop shot in there, felt the bite and didn t really think it was a bass. But it turns out it was a bass â and without that fish I don t win.
The City of Killeen honored 157 employees at its Dedicated Service Awards ceremony recently. Awards were given to each employee who reached a five-year increment of service in 2020.
A technical glitch on Zoom did not stop a Killeen city councilwoman and several guest speakers from updating residents about goings-on in District 2.
Councilwoman Debbie Nash-King, who represents that district, hosted the remote community update on Friday evening to let people know about city resources regarding COVID-19 as well as fire prevention during the holiday season.
âWe had a significant audience that was engaged but we did have a technical problem that may have blocked viewers from entering the Zoom room,â Nash-King said in an email on Sunday. âIâll have the issue corrected before the next event.â
She said that residents can keep up with her Facebook page for community updates.
