Winter Texans’ Favorite Golf Hole contest is back
For several years we have gotten Winter Texans’ input on the Valley top golf course and favorite holes at the golf courses in the Rio Grande Valley. This year we are starting a little early with our series that introduces some hidden gems at the more popular Valley golf courses. We will be running a three-part series introducing these hidden gems in three categories – lower, middle and See CONTEST pg. 13

Favorite golf holes: Lower Valley hidden gems
Vote for your favorite golf hole online at www.wintertexantimes.com Golfers line up their putts on the No. 15 green at Rancho Viejo
Hidden gems, diamonds in the rough, unexpected surprises — like finding an extra $20 that was forgotten in the pocket of a pair of pants — can have a profound positive effect on one’s day. Similarly, golf courses have some hidden gems of their own. Sure, they have their “signature holes,” usually the most difficult, most scenic or most unique (most of the time all three) hole on the course. But hidden away are those other holes that bring a smile to a golfer’s face (sometimes dread) but, just like a mystery writer who throws twists and turns throughout their novels, golf courses do the same. Three of the courses in the Lower Rio Grande Valley that often appear on top of Winter Texans’ favorite places to play are no different. And, over the course of the past 12-18 months have made some changes to not only improve the course but also have made some of their gems all “shiny and new again.” River Bend Golf Club, Brownsville Its signature hole is No. 17, a par-3 hole that sits about 220 yards and along See GOLF pg. 12

Port Isabel Lighthouse transfers to THC
www.wintertexantimes.com Port Isabel Lighthouse was one of eight state historic sites welcomed by the Texas Historical Commission last month. The lighthouse was previously managed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The properties were transferred on the recommendation of the Texas Sunset Advisory Commission. The action will allow both the THC and TPWD to improve efficiency by focusing each agency on its core mission – THC’s role as the state historic preservation office, and TPWD’s as steward of the state’s impressive natural resources and hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation attractions. “Our primary goal as stewards of these sites has always been the preservation of these iconic landmarks for the enjoyment of current and future Texans. We entrust the future care of these notable parks to the capable hands of the THC and know they will continue these high standards of maintenance and operations going forward,” said Carter Smith, Executive Director of TPWD. “TPWD is proud to have been the caretakers of these historic sites for many decades, and we will continue to care for the hundreds of historic buildings, archeological sites, and other cultural resources that exist within state parks and natural areas across Texas.” The City of Port Isabel held a celebration on October 2 with other city organizations, the THC vice-chair and the public to announce the transfer. “We’re all looking forward to the ex-

citing future that this partnership brings. The Lighthouse is important and vital to us. The City of Port Isabel and the Port Isabel Economic Development Corporation have been partners with the State for many decades and are happy to continue in that role,” says Calvin Byrd, Port Isabel Economic Development Board Chair. “We’re happy to co-host this event with the Texas Historical Commission and Commissioners on this important day and invite the public to join in the celebration,” added City Manager Jared Hockema. The Port Isabel Lighthouse, originally called Point Isabel, was constructed in 1852 to guide ships through the Brazos Santiago Pass into the Laguna Madre. Built at the direction of President James K. Polk, it was also used for the protection of Fort Polk, once located along the coast where Port Isabel now sits. Opened as a state park in 1952, it is the only lighthouse now open for viewing in the State of Texas. The lighthouse Keeper’s Cottage on the grounds now houses the Port Isabel Chamber of Commerce. The lighthouse is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information on admission and its history, visit www.portisabellighthouse.com or call (956) 9432262.

The THC is working with the site’s owner, Blinn College, on management logistics; the THC may assume operation of the museum prior to the beginning of the year. The addition of the new sites means that the THC now manages 31 State Historic Sites representing nearly every era of Texas’ storied history—from the legends and culture of the original American Indian inhabitants of Texas, to the epic stories of the state’s revolution and independence, to the humble birthplace of one of the nation’s greatest leaders, President Dwight D.

Texas Quilt Museum exhibit showcases quilt legend, antique masterpieces
The seasons may change but one thing doesn’t – the Texas Quilt Museum will always have interesting and unique exhibits which change out quarterly. Their fall displays include Fascinating Rhythm: Art Quilts by Katie Pasquini Masopust and Mama’s Got the Blue. They will both be on display until December 22. “With Fascinating Rhythm, we are delighted to host a major retrospective featuring 32 quilts that showcase the astonishing talent of Katie Pasquini Masopust. She has touched the creative lives of many hundreds of quilters around the globe,” Museum curator Dr. Sandra Sider says. Trained as a painter, Pasquini Masopust thinks of her quilting as lines of drawing on a flexible surface, giving her greater artistic potential than would be possible with a stretched canvas. Her very popular workshops feature the Log Cabin block, and the numerous floral quilts in this exhibit illustrate her love of nature. Dr. Sider adds “Katie is deeply immersed in quilts as a contemporary art form, continuing to influence others with
her generosity of spirit and amazingly original talent.”
The other fall exhibit, Mama’s Got the Blues, will feature 22 quilts (all blue-andwhite) originally collected by Merry Silber, the mother of noted antique quilt collector and dealer Julie Silber. The exhibit is guest curated by Vicki Mangum, Museum Registrar and Exhibit Designer. “This collection is a loving and historical representation of the love of antique quilts shared by mother and daughter. Quilts on display include a very noteworthy WCTU (Women’s Christian Temperance Union) Sampler quilt, circa 1880,” Mangum says. She adds that those who love blue-and-white quilts will be able to see hundreds of them suspended from the ceiling in a very special exhibit, “Sapphire Celebration,” at the upcoming International Quilt Festival in Houston, October 31-November 3.

Exhibit celebrates family of artists
UTRGV Office of Public Art is hosting a new art exhibit at the UTRGV Performing Arts Complex Lobby on the Edinburg Campus called DreamScapes. The exhibit is a posthumous celebration of the lives and talents of a family of area artists – Maxine McClendon, Edward Edson Nichols and Christopher Nichols. McClendon was an internationally renowned artist well-known for her acrylic on stuffed canvas. Her husband, Edward, was an art professor at UTRGV legacy institution UT Pan American for 33 years, making an impact on hundreds of artists in South Texas before retiring from teaching in 1999. Their son, Christopher, a UTPA alumnus, was known for his watercolor scenes. Dr. Dahlia Guerra, assistant vice president for Public Art, said this exhibit is a wonderful way to view the landscape through the eyes of three people who obviously loved the area. The exhibit, curated by Elena Macias, professor of art in the UTRGV School of Art, will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and during all evening concerts. The exhibit will run through February 7, 2020. For more information on the exhibit, contact the UTRGV Office of Public Art at (956) 665-2353. The UTRGV Performing Arts Complex is located at 1201 W. University in Edinburg.

The long par-5 No. 5 at River Bend. Others will play it safe – but it definitely makes you think.” South Padre Island Golf Club, Laguna Vista Just the name South Padre Island Golf Course implies beauty and a great golf course and Bracy Wilson, and the course’s owners, are returning the course to where it once was, where it should be, and beyond. While No. 3 is considered the signature hole, golf pro Bracy Wilson said, “just because of the water and to be able to see across to the island makes numbers four and five gems as well.” No. 4 is a par-5 hole. Don’t get distracted by the beauty of this 525-yard hold that has a slight dogleg right (“It barely drifts back to the right,” Wilson said.) And don’t hit too far to the right because your ball is almost assuredly lost in the native area. You won’t find your ball and what you will find, you’ll want to keep away from. No. 5 is a short par-4 at 296 yards. Don’t be deceived though.
