SMITH COUNTY, Texas Summertime means boating fun, but so far this year the number of boating accidents in the state of Texas are at an all-time high. Water safety experts explain why the accident numbers are going up.
“It happens sadly throughout the state, throughout the nation every holiday,” said Texas Game Warden Todd Long. “Unfortunately we have seen state wide numbers increase and especially with the Fourth of July holiday we see a lot of extra people on the lake and these are different boaters, swimmers, Canoers, etc. that some of them they only get on the water once a year and they have varying levels of experience, it may be their first time in a boat.”

John “Jack” Hegarty Sr.
FORT MCCOY, Fla. – John Michael Hegarty Sr, 81, peacefully passed away June 11, 2021, at his residence in Fort McCoy, Fla. “Jack” was a retired, registered Maine guide, U.S. Navy veteran, outdoorsman and professional photographer who lived life to its fullest.
He was born June 3, 1940, in Cambridge, Mass.; raised in Nashua, N.H., a once rural, agricultural community where ‘everyone lived on a farm’. He attended St. Christopher’s Catholic School and graduated from Nashua High in 1958. As a youth, he served as an altar boy with hopes of becoming a priest. However, after school one day, he dared to ask his future wife, Katherine (LaPorte-Murray) and her friend if they’d like a ride home. It was love at first sight.
