Welcome to the Charm of the Texas Coast!

On behalf of the more than 700 local businesses, individuals and organizations that are members of the Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce, welcome to Aransas County! We’re so glad you have chosen our community as a place to visit, or better yet, call home. Whether you are new to our community or have lived here for a lifetime, we hope you’ll take the time to enjoy this publication.

In addition to pristine landscapes, uniquely charming cities and activities for all ages, we believe you’ll find the friendliest people right here in RockportFulton. Our community takes great pride in working together to make our area the best place to live, work, play and grow a business.

With our prime location on the Texas Gulf Coast, we have miles of coastline and waterways framing inland cities.

Our communities bustle with the amenities of a major metro area while holding onto our small-town feel. An international airport in our region, the eighth largest deep water seaport in tonnage in the nation, and a network of highways within just three-hours driving time of major metropolitan cities make for a great location to do business and have a great quality of life. The number of technical institutes, colleges and universities throughout our region provide young people a path to world-class education right here at home and businesses find great employees to help them grow.

This directory and community guide will give you a great overview of businesses, cultural and community information. We encourage you to use this directory to find the products and services you need—at home and at the office. The businesses that invest in Chamber membership are also investing in Aransas County and we encourage you to do business locally with a member!

My theme for the year is “Guiding Our Members to Success,” and we need your support to accomplish that goal.

We also invite you to stop in the Chamber’s Visitor Center. You’ll find friendly, knowledgeable people who are ready to help you find the information you need. It’s your Chamber—use it!

Sincerely, Rick McKinney, 2016-17 Chairman of the Board

Welcome to the beautiful coastal Aransas County! While the county is the second smallest in Texas, it is considered to be the “Jewel of the Gulf Coast” by many. The tranquil small-town personality offers abundant opportunities for both relaxation and recreation. Its alluring shoreline is home to Cedar Bayou, Vincent Slough, the state’s first Blue Wave Beach, Goose Island State Park, Aransas National Wildlife Refuge and numerous gulf coast marshes, making the county a great place for extraordinary outdoor adventures.

The area is also a birding paradise, where whooping cranes make their winter nesting grounds.

The quiet communities of Rockport and Fulton offer beautiful downtowns with art galleries, unique restaurants and shops, as well as old-fashioned motel courtyards, all amid windswept oak trees and warm coastal breezes. There are many local festivals, like Oysterfest, Fourth of July Art Festival and Seafair, all of which offer a world-class variety of entertainment.

This remarkable community has been home to my family for six generations. It has been my privilege to serve as county judge!

The Aransas County Navigation District (ACND) welcomes you to come and enjoy the beautiful Toast of the Texas Coast. As chairman of the ACND, I personally invite you to relax and enjoy our many excellent facilities. Whether you simply want to enjoy a day in the sun at our beach park or perhaps if a day of fishing is on your list of things to do, we have piers to fish from and many excellent boat ramps to launch your boat. If bird watching is on your to do list, you will find many excellent areas to view the large variety of different species of birds that call the Rockport Beach and surrounding areas home.

The Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce helps connect members with vital resources.

What Does the Chamber Do? Top 10 Activities of the Chamber in 2016

What does the 5-star accredited Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce do? The Chamber is a resource to the community as the staff is asked on a daily basis for materials, data, insight, facts and figures, contacts, referrals, and so much more.

The Chamber encourages collaboration among local businesses and organizations, as well as continuously offering connections and support for their needed projects and events. Another aspect of the Chamber is its role to spearhead training and support for local businesses, all the while encouraging owners and employees to reach their highest potential.

The Chamber holds an official Chairman’s Circle and gathers together as many past chairs as possible for a meal and sharing. In addition, the Chamber has put requests into the city of Rockport and town of Fulton to be a trolley stop and is looking forward to coordinating that program.

New opportunities for small businesses were one of the many priorities for the Chamber this past year. They partnered with the University of Houston – Victoria’s Small Business Development Center to offer SBDC Tuesdays to assist local small business owners. The Chamber also partnered with Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi and the Small Business Administration SCORE on the Simply

Social Media Thursdays. The Bay Blazers and Business Builders coordinated the Business Expo with more than 50 vendors and nearly 350 attendees. The Business Builders produced quality business breakfasts for small businesses owners to learn, network, and grow. The Windshield Tour, Speed Networking, and the Hurricane Breakfast were all Chamber successes too.

More membership benefits and networking opportunities are ongoing goals for the Chamber. Its events—such as the monthly Chamber luncheons, the annual Christmas luncheon, the Business After Hours, Rockport-Fulton Night at the Hooks Game, the new Network Wednesdays, and all the monthly meetings— continue to be opportunities to network, learn, and grow.

This year, new councils were formed, bringing together areas of our membership that normally would not meet.

These include the RV Park Council, Hotel & Lodging Council, Governmental Affairs Council, and the Home Based Business Council.

Sensitivity to the environment is important to the Chamber. More public birding sites and hiking and biking www.rockport-fulton.org 13

trails are on the horizon as permissions and rights of way are established. The Chamber has been instrumental in facilitating and developing history sites and kayak launch areas. Additionally, the Chamber worked hard to help launch Keep Aransas County Beautiful as its own organization.

The Chamber takes a delegation to Austin and to Washington, DC to meet with lawmakers to strengthen its relationships with local, state, and federal officials. Its Leadership Alumni held a public forum on the sheriff’s race, and the Chamber’s Governmental Affairs Council reviewed and recommended legislation and rulings.

The Finance Committee meets monthly to review the previous month’s activities in detail. Transparency is extremely important, as the Chamber completes an annual audit each year. Seafair and HummerBird Celebration continue to generate needed funds to operate and keep the membership dues affordable.

Tourism continues to be the highpoint of the Chamber.

The top highlights for the year were a new website, Daytripper TV Segment, expansions of local festivals and events, growth and interaction on social media, strong PR messaging and branding across diverse Texas markets, as 14 Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce

well as impactful advertising, Aransas Pathways continued expansion of projects, and lastly, making the No. 4 spot on the USA Today 10 Best Readers’ Choice Award list for America’s Best Coastal Small Town.

Last but not least, the Chamber’s board of directors supports a plan for Chamber staff to be on a professional career track. Each staff member is working toward a certification in their field of expertise within the Chamber and attends weeklong training for professional development and enrichment. This creates incredible behind-the-scenes

Long-Lasting Leadership Programs Continue to Shape Community

One of the most vital traits any person can possess is leadership. That’s why the Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce is working with locals who want to develop this skill into their everyday routines. Through Leadership Aransas County (LAC), which has just completed its 20th year, approximately 15 participants complete nine sessions, plus a workshop, which provides skills training that will be beneficial in both professional and personal settings.

“Through educational seminars and leadership skills development, we are developing a group of informed, committed citizens who will assume leadership roles in our community,” says Shelly Stuart, the Chamber’s vice president of operations.

Once a month for nine months, the LAC program allows participants to take a deeper look into specific areas of expertise and topics, ranging from local government to health care and much more. Furthermore, the program offers idea experimentation, designed to help new concepts and approaches be applied to Aransas County issues.

“The graduates of LAC should have the strongest potential for future leadership and will have the capability of contributing greatly to Aransas County through their continued service in the Chamber, city and county government, as well as many other worthy endeavors,” says Stuart.

Each year, the given class chooses a project designed to target specific topics of concern within the area for the sole purpose of building powerful relationships while developing leadership skills. But community involvement and networking doesn’t end upon graduation. The LAC Alumni Association provides members the opportunity to participate in leadership roles within the community while creating awareness of specific needs and issues. It serves as a link between graduates of LAC and the community to fulfill vital leadership roles.

LAC doesn’t stop there as graduates of the program, totaling over 300, continue to get together in the Leadership Alumni Association and do great things, such as community cleanups, social events, and more.

They have now created a LAC Attack Kayak Fishing Tournament to benefit the Youth Leadership Aransas County (YLAC) program.

Those at the beginning stages of an ambitious

career path have a shot at tackling issues while building leadership skills with YLAC. Designed to help prepare students for community involvement and responsibility, this program enables individuals to discover potential career options while developing future goals.

“The interaction among youth from all parts of the county encourages mutual respect, dispels misplaced fears, and results in a shared concern for a continuing commitment to the growth and advancement of the Rockport-Fulton area,” Stuart says.

No matter their age, drive, or level of experience, individuals across the county have an opportunity at exceeding goals while becoming strong leaders for future generations to come. n By Mallorie Ann Ingram

Michell “My children and I moved home to Rockport in 2009 after losing my husband to cancer. We always joked that

we would live in Rockport and open up a coffee shop. In June 2009, the kids and I made that dream come true and opened Rockport Daily Grind. We enjoy the relationships with our ‘regulars,’ the winter Texans, weekenders, and first-time visitors. It’s wonderful being able to get to know what brings them to Rockport and keeps them coming back. We say, ‘Where there’s coffee, there’s joy,’ but in Rockport, you can find your joy in the arts, fishing, sailing, community service, etc. Rockport is a place that allows you to slow down and enjoy seeing the wind blow through the windswept oaks or smell the salt air. We found our joy here and love being home.”

– Michell Mock-McMahon, Rockport Daily Grind

eric “My mom, Sterling Heller, moved to

Rockport in 1998 to enjoy the coastal living lifestyle.

She fell in love with Rockport due to the people and the atmosphere and all of the varying things to do, from the wildlife to the festivals. She is an avid birder and was excited to move to a community like Rockport-Fulton and Aransas County that offered so many different types of birds to follow. She also loves volunteering in different areas to help the community that she lives in. She is currently the Chairman of the Board for the Fulton Mansion and has volunteered there for the past 17 years. She is also active in the Rockettes, which is a group of local women who donate their time and money to charitable organizations within the Rockport area. I moved to Rockport-Fulton to open First Community Bank, which helps the community through volunteering and donating to the local nonprofits. I jumped in with both feet and am on the board of directors for the Education Foundation, Odyssey After School, Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce, Chairman of Seafair, and am a volunteer at Good Samaritans. Like Mom, I fell in love with the people and atmosphere in Rockport. The fishing, hunting, and the golf are high on my list of the best things to do in Rockport. Both Mom and I love the community spirit and the love that everyone has for Rockport-Fulton!”

– Eric Heller, First Community Bank

Steve & Ellen “The first

time we saw Rockport, we were on one of our many expeditions to find our ideal retirement spot. We have lived in many big cities throughout our married life, including one in a foreign country. We wanted a less hectic lifestyle and a place near the water where we could do lots of birding. Rockport is all that and more. We not only found a home here, we found a wonderful vibrant community, with people that make you feel like family, not to mention all the wonderful birds.” – Steve and Ellen Reisinger, Master Gardener and Chairman of the HummerBird Celebration

joey “What I love about living in Rockport-Fulton—first of all, what’s not to love? We have the friendliest people in the world living here. You never meet a stranger, and if you ever need help, friends show up in droves. Being surrounded on three sides by our beautiful bays, we can enjoy fishing, boating, and birding anytime we want. It’s like being on vacation year-round. The organizations like the Rockport Center for the Arts and Texas Maritime Museum give us cultural experiences that would rival much larger cities. Our school system is giving our children great education opportunities. The ACISD Education Foundation, since the inception in 2001, has provided over $3,000,000 in grants and scholarships back to our students. And lastly, I love all of our great downtown area, which is just going to get better with the Cultural Arts District. Could not imagine living anywhere else.”

– Joey Westlake, Victoria’s Fine Jewelry

zach “I’m sure most everyone can agree that it’s wonderful living just a stone’s throw from the beach, and I get to take it all in

every morning on my way to work. But my favorite thing about living in Rockport would have to be the people living here. Rockport is home to so many amazing, generous, kind people. I’d list more of their many great qualities, but that would take more space than I’m allowed. The best part is that I get to see and work with these fabulous people at most every event, whether it be at one of the many fundraisers for the Humane Society and Odyssey After School program or one of the many community clean-up events keeping Rockport beautiful, and I meet new ones every now and then. If there is one thing that we aren’t short of in Rockport, it’s friends.”

– Zach Westlake, Victoria’s Fine Jewelry

Lucas “Rockport is where

my heart is. Living here is like being on vacation all the time. I go to school during the day and come home to a relaxing vacation spot. The wildlife here is phenomenal. I love to go crabbing and just being able to see all the beautiful birds. Rockport is paradise.” – Lucas Rice, Rockport-Fulton High School Freshman

robin “As the principal of Live Oak Learning Center (one of Rockport-Fulton’s

elementary schools), I am grateful to live in a community with so many authentic learning opportunities, from history and art to nature and wildlife. Local establishments such as the Texas Maritime Museum and Fulton Mansion offer our students field trip opportunities and even bring programs and guest speakers right into our schools. The Center for the Arts and local artists encourage our students’ talents through contests and school visits. Goose Island, the wildlife refuge, the Rockport Aquarium, and Bay Education Center often partner with ACISD to help show our students the importance of appreciating and caring for our unique corner of the world. Rockport-Fulton offers our little explorers an abundance of natural wonder with beautiful wetlands, estuaries, birds, beaches and more! I love this community for embracing our kids, which is a huge reason my husband and I chose to raise our own child here.” – Robin Rice, Principal, Live Oak Learning Center

bill & bobbie “Bobbie and I have called Rockport home for a long while and we consider one of the best

qualities about living here is the small-town atmosphere and friendliness that allows you to know pretty much everything that is going on. Having been here long enough to experience most of the community’s transformation, we love it. Bobbie was born and raised here, and as the saying goes, I got here as soon as I could, at the age of 12. Growth has occurred while protecting much of the hometown charm. We still embrace the water, family owned shops, wildlife, birding and the mild seasons. We have watched developments bring thousands to an area in retirement that we have been blessed to live in all our lives. Looking forward to retirement brings the reality that we will not have to move anywhere looking for one of those ideal retirement places—we are already here.” – Bill and Bobbie Mills, Aransas County Sheriff

Rickey “I am a third

generation McLester born and raised in our Twin Cities by the Bay. I have had the privilege to follow in the footsteps of some of the best role models in Aransas County that just so happen to be family. This area has a little bit of everything to offer— hunting, fishing, birding—all within 10-minute drive or boat ride from the house. One of the most important reasons I live in Aransas County is the commitment of its volunteers.

One example is three volunteer fire departments in Aransas County that are still thriving today while others have been replaced by paid departments, due to lack of commitment by volunteers. These men and women go above and beyond to help their fellow man all while maintaining the professionalism that one would expect out of a career paid firefighter. Volunteers who just want to help their fellow man are still very much alive and thriving here. This is one of the main reasons I choose to call Rockport-Fulton home!” – Rickey McLester, Fulton Volunteer Fire Department Chief, HALO-Flight Communications Director

Rick

“I was asked why I live in Aransas County. My answer is simple. It is my home. I was born here and raised in Fulton. My father and grandparents were born and raised here and I have chosen to raise my family here. I think back that it was really important to me that my kids go though the school system here just like I did. I also reflect on what this area has to offer, a little bit of everything, hunting, fishing, birding, and art, so much that it makes me proud to have visitors from all over that could go anywhere but they choose to come to my hometown and enjoy what I have every day. Special friends that know you by your first name. I know that if one of my family members was to need me, and I was not available, many friends and neighbors would drop what they are doing and come to their aide. The volunteerism here is over the top and unheard of in many communities. Folks who just want to help their fellow man is still very much alive and thriving here. Yes, sir, Fulton is my home and I very proud of it.” – Rick McLester, Fulton Police Chief, County EMC, Fire Marshal

Making the MOST of the

Coast Region Has it All

By Cathy Cuthbertson 24 Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce

“We’re on a peninsula that’s protected by barrier islands and we’re surrounded by three bays. The environment lends itself to natural beauty, with our historic coastal live oaks...

They are a highly identifiable landmark.” ­

- Jennifer Day, Chairwoman of the RCAD Board

W

ith beautiful beaches, blue skies by day, tropical-hued sunsets by night, an eclectic arts scene, proximity, plus amenities like parks (dog parks too!), patriotism,

and entertainment, RockportFulton boasts an unmatched quality of life unlike any other portion of Texas.

“It’s blue skies and sunshine 95 percent of the year, with warm summers,” says Jennifer Day, chairwoman of the Rockport Cultural Arts District (RCAD) Board. “We’re on a peninsula that’s protected by barrier islands and we’re surrounded by three bays.

The environment lends itself to natural beauty, with our historic coastal live oaks …

They are a highly identifiable landmark.”

Whether seeking a low-key holiday retreat or casting a fishing line and hoping to haul in the next worlds record, RockportFulton and its proximity to bountiful fishing attract visitors from all over the globe.

“One of the largest marlins ever caught off the Texas coast was here,” says Day. “The

fish weighed in at 972 pounds. We’re also home to the nation’s largest nonjuried, women’s fishing tournament called Babes on the Bay. We have excellent hunting too.”

Along with the region’s scenic coastal landscape, Rockport just earned the State of Texas Cultural Arts Designation, setting the stage for an explosion of cultural development and a host of events that will make the city even more inviting.

“It’s a very big deal,” says Day. “We partnered with the downtown historic district and worked on our application for over a year to earn the designation. It’s a huge accolade. The Rockport Cultural Arts District is now one of 35 in the state. It will define our area and encompass all of the arts, from theater to dance, visual arts, and more.”

One of the most exciting facets of the designation is how it points the compass to development of future amenities that will make the region even more attractive.

“If we plan and manage the district effectively, we’ll be able to get grants and other support that will impact our economy

In Rockport-Fulton, residents can enjoy perfect views of the beach every day.

in a very positive way,” says Day. “We’ll be able to make the community even more walkable, incorporating the Rockport Harbor, old downtown, and the beach. And long range, it helps us think about our impending boardwalk.”

The excitement surrounding the district will generate even more appeal for those seeking a fun family vacation.

“Rockport and Fulton are already well-known for being family friendly,” says Day. “The expanded arts will provide even more venues for families to enjoy together. It will further enhance our reputation as a place where people can get out and about, explore, and feel very safe while they enjoy their vacations. Rockport is the Toast of the Texas Coast, and both Rockport and Fulton have fabulous harbors.”

Parks are abundant too, boasting breathtaking vistas and greenery.

Seafood is a big draw too. The annual Fulton Oysterfest attracts thousands of visitors each year 26 Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce

Public art is on display for all to appreciate.

for a sample of the most delectable oysters in the state. Expansive bay systems and waterways provide opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors.

“The Beach Park in Rockport is the first in Texas to be named a Blue Wave Beach and one of only four on the Texas Gulf Coast,” says Day. The Blue Wave designation is awarded to beaches by the Clean Beaches Coalition—a network of coastal organizations and individuals committed to providing the cleanest beaches around the world.

The Beach Park offers ample picnic pavilions and rentals. A walking path beckons visitors to take a relaxing stroll alongside Little Bay, and there’s a small amphitheater, too, known as the Band Shell.

“It’s very inviting for families, with playground equipment, covered picnic tables, and thatched umbrellas, and the park is used a lot for weddings and receptions,” says Day. Rockport-Fulton is also extremely patriotic. This feeling is especially strong around Independence Day,

Whether it’s fishing, taking in the fresh air, or myriad other outdoor activities, Rockport and Fulton cannot be beat.

during the annual Fourth of July Boat Parade and fireworks displays.

Man’s best friend can even have fun as well at the Rockport-Fulton Dog Park. Here, canines can roam off leash. The dog park is broken down into small and large dog areas and is equipped with waste and water stations. It’s tucked away within the 100-plus-acre Memorial Park, offering the community playgrounds, Little League, softball, baseball and soccer fields, basketball, jogging/biking/ walking trails, picnicking, and more.

When frequenting RockportFulton, visitors and locals alike cannot help but make the most of their time at this one-of-a-kind coastal resort area. n

The Coastal Bend is experiencing a wealth of growth, which brings jobs to Rockport-Fulton and spurs the local economy.

Proximity to Prosperity Boom in the Bend

It’s no secret that location plays a pivotal part when it comes to business success. Major developments accompanied by a massive influx of new companies taking advantage of such superb proximity are causing people and conglomerates to take note of this portion of the Coastal Bend.

“Aransas County is just a short 25-minute drive from more than 20 companies expanding or moving on or near the Port of Corpus Christi,” says Diane Probst, president and CEO of the RockportFulton Chamber of Commerce. “The port is a powerhouse for the Coastal Bend.”

For starters, Tianjin Pipe (TPCO), a Chinese company making a $1 billion investment in the United States, is building a large manufacturing facility just 15 miles north of Corpus Christi.

“Tianjin Seamless Pipeline Manufacturing facility is 15 minutes from Rockport and Fulton,” Probst says. “It is our goal to attract one or two tier-two or tierthree smaller supplier companies to Tianjin to diversify our economy so we are not so dependent on tourism.”

Others making an impact on the local economy include Cheniere Energy, a

liquefied natural gas export facility project is currently under construction. This project will bring hundreds of jobs to the area.

Likewise, the beginning stages of operating an ethylene cracking plant are already in progress with Occidental Chemical Corp., commonly known as OxyChem. This development will create numerous jobs as well.

The Voestalpine Group, the highgrade leader in technology and capital goods based in Austria, came to the Coastal Bend recently with the world’s largest hot briquetted iron (HBI) facility and company’s biggest foreign investment.

Other economical successes include pristine lodging accommodations at Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott, ideal for business travelers, and an enormous Ace Hardware in the former Wal-Mart.

A few other companies reaping the rewards of the Coastal Bend include Gravity Midstream, Adler Scaffolding, Scoular, TexIsle, Topaz Power, Trafigura, Plains Marketing and Martin Midstream, M&G Chemicals, Schlitterbahn, LyondellBasell, Magellan Midstream Partners, Flint Hills Resources and Valero, TexSTAR, Baker Hughes, Superior

Tantalizing Trolley Energy-Efficient Travel

Red and shiny, Miss Alene, the Fulton trolley, is decked out in brass and gleaming rails, providing an openair ride that’s fun and breezy. A seat aboard the trolley provides a great view of all the sights and sounds of Fulton, s afely carrying visitors to nearby attractions.

It’s easier than ever to catch the trolley or just track its progress along the route with the Fulton Trolley Tracker, a realtime smartphone app that’s free to download.

Trolley travel is such a fun item, the city of Rockport is joining hands with the town of Fulton and bringing another trolley into service.

“The Rockport trolley will run on compressed natural gas, and it’s going to be free as well,” says Jimmy

Kendrick, mayor of Fulton. “The trolleys really came about as a result of the city council coming together and brainstorming about the most efficient ways to get visitors out and about and show them our great city. We’re kidand family-friendly, and we want people to get out and enjoy themselves.”

The new trolley will interloop between the two cities, says Kendrick, traveling a route from Rockport along State Highway 35 to Fulton Beach Road. Ease of transportation is extremely important when it comes to helping people get around town during times of festivals and fishing tournaments, especially the annual Oysterfest, which Kendrick says attracted nearly 80,000 visitors last year.

Aside from their charm and amenities, the trolleys are energy efficient. The natural gas that will fuel the Rockport trolley will provide energy efficiency much greater than electricity or gasoline. Natural gas vehicles reduce air emissions too, keeping Rockport-Fulton clean and green.

City officials are still deciding what the name of the newest member of their fleet will be, but one thing’s for sure: it will be in service early this year! n By Cathy Cuthbertson

Residents and groups in Rockport-Fulton take the environment and protection of coastal creatures seriously.

32 Rockport-Fulton Chamber of Commerce

Protecting Coastal Assets Breathtaking views, immense wildlife, and pristine grounds make up the Rockport-Fulton area in its entirety, and the community, as well as its elected officials are determined to keep it that way for generations to come.

Individuals are utterly captivated by the variety of wildlife and community involvement with birds in the area, such as egrets, roseate spoonbills, herons, and others able to live safely within this region of the coast. Multiple venues exist to help preserve these species, such as Aransas Pathways’ Linda S. Castro Nature Sanctuary. Here, nearly 5 acres span three distinct habitats, including a live oak motte, a remnant of the coastal prairie, and ephemeral pond.

The gorgeous oak trees that line Little Bay are not only visually appealing to humans, but they serve as a natural environment for many species. This land serves as a rookery for herons and egrets.

Taking conservation a step further, bird rescue efforts have begun in the area due in part to the newly formed Rockport-Fulton Wings Rescue Center.

This group is in the process of raising funds for a rehabilitation building. As of now, volunteers are transporting rescued birds to Corpus Christi, but the Rockport-Fulton area will soon have its own facility to care for these animals.

Additional efforts made to enhance the quality of life in the area are highlighted with the Aransas County Navigation District (ACND), designed to conserve natural resources. ACND efforts include navigation of its inland and coastal waterways, as well as land and water resources like harbors and fishing piers.

Likewise, Keep Aransas County Beautiful, a clean task force initiative that kick-started in 2015, has also been working to keep the area litter-free and pristine through initiatives such as recycling, beautification, waste management, and education.

Other organizations include Camp Aranzazu, which is dedicated to helping people of all ages who suffer with chronic illnesses and special needs escape to a peaceful environment. Another is Castaways Thrift Shop, where all profits are returned to the community through grant programs

and participating churches. It’s no secret these organizations and others are not only philanthropic in nature, but also share camaraderie for giving back and preserving the Coastal Bend so future generations will be able to enjoy the area too. n By Mallorie Ann Ingram

Putting Nature First

Eco-friendly community

Philanthropic Purpose

Community Pumped for CNG Since opening in 2015, the compressed natural gas (CNG) stations in Rockport have been considerate of the local ecosystem, as well as giving an added boost to the economy. The CNG fueling stations are expected to promote business growth in the community and attract new businesses to the region.

There are two CNG facilities located in Rockport.

The first is near the fleet storage area of Aransas County Independent School District (ACISD). This facility is solely for the use of ACISD buses and vehicles. These types of savings for the school system will create opportunities for the funds to be used for new CNG buses, as well as educational needs.

The second fueling station is on Stadium Drive, near the skatepark and community pool.

This facility is open 24/7 for both commercial and personal-use vehicles.

Thanks to the efforts of the city and school district, this project will provide massive fuel savings, lower levels of emissions in the environment, and lower maintenance cost. This will allow some of that savings to be used toward converting vehicles to CNG for both the school system and local businesses.

But this project could be very beneficial for more than just business growth in the area. The initiatives to develop and improve recycling programs just show how serious locals are about keeping the environment clean and beautiful. By adding CNG stations, the area is an even more sought after place to live, work, and raise a family. The Rockport-Fulton area is one of the most beautiful communities on the Gulf Coast, and community efforts like the CNG facilities will keep it that way for years to come. n By Jonathan Price www.rockport-fulton.org 33

Today, the organization is outfitted with three Bell 407 aircraft and one Bell 429 aircraft. Each aircraft is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and traumarelated medications so that as transport occurs, treatment

continues. Flight-certified professionals, including a critical care registered nurse and a paramedic, along with a veteran pilot, are located throughout the region to expedite transport into trauma centers and specialty care facilities.

Since its earliest days, HALO-Flight has been viewed as the premier provider of helicopter air ambulance services in South Texas. As the only nonprofit helicopter emergency medical service in the area, HALO-Flight’s mission is to provide expert medical transport for the critically ill or injured, regardless of their ability to pay.

Working in collaboration with health care professionals and first responders, HALO-Flight provides on-the-scene emergency medical services throughout the Coastal Bend. Additionally, HALO-Flight provides medical transport service between South Texas health care facilities, as well as to those outside of the Coastal Bend area for physician-ordered specialty care.

As a nonprofit organization, HALO-Flight continues to seek sources of support from granting institutions, corporate partners, and citizens interested in sustaining the life-saving mission of HALO-Flight. n Information in this article was provided by HALO-Flight Inc.

Programs Pique Students’ Interests Education is the foundation for success, and Aransas County Independent School District (ACISD) gives students the tools they need for an exceptional future. This distinguished district is setting a new standard with innovative programs to promote learning and critical thinking.

Educators throughout ACISD make it their top priority to ensure 3,400 pupils’ time in school is interesting and interactive.

While the district teaches core subjects, such as mathematics, science, and reading, it also opens doors to a wealth of resources that help students gauge where they want to go after graduation day.

For instance, at Rockport-Fulton High School, there are many college and career preparatory options. Students can opt to take dual-credit classes through Del Mar College while still in high school. This will put them a step ahead of their peers the first day they start classes at a college or university.

Those who are interested in entering the workforce immediately after high school can graduate with in-demand skills obtained through elective courses. These include culinary arts/restaurant management, welding, building construction, and several others.

Rockport-Fulton Middle School students with an artistic touch have the chance to exhibit their work at the Donna Manofsky Gallery of Fine Art. For the 2015–16 year, the gallery opened with a new show, which included pencil drawings, paintings,

watercolors, printing, and sculpture.

The newly built Fulton Learning Center, which is tailored to fourth and fifth grades, has its children looking toward the skies.

Through the school’s birding program, students learn the importance of belonging to a team and developing discipline and work ethic. This group participates in the eight-hour Great Texas Birding Classic, where they have to spot and identify birds on the competition list. The fifth- and fourth-grade teams came in first and second in the region and state for their divisions, respectively.

Live Oak Learning Center (LOLC), another newly built school, serves students in first through third grades. Because of two generous grants from the ACISD Education Foundation, it is the first school in the Region

The Leader in Me process fosters a culture of leadership development by teaching timeless, universal principles to staff and students using “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen R. Covey.

Students and staff create collective, individual, personal, and academic goals and determine paths to reach their full potential.

“We want to cultivate the greatness in our students by helping them discover their passions,” says Robin Rice, principal of LOLC. “Teaching them about living principlecentered lives with responsibility gives them the life skills and emotional tools needed to meet challenges without fear. We want to empower them to make a difference in their own lives and the community.”

The school’s curriculum and instruction focuses on reading, writing, and mathematics delivered through thematic units developed by the teaching staff. The school provides programs that lay the foundation for future academic achievement.

Since its inception in 2001, the Education Foundation has provided ACISD millions of dollars in innovative teacher and campus grants, scholarships for higher education, and special events, such as Holiday Symphony by the Sea, featuring ACISD’s talented music students, and Shining Stars Over Aransas, honoring outstanding ACISD seniors and educators. n Information in this article was provided by Aransas County Independent School District.

Coastal living certainly has its advantages.

The Rockport-Fulton area is home to some of the best seafood establishments in the state—and maybe even the country. The combination of gorgeous scenery and amazing eateries make this part of the Gulf one of the best places to live, work, play, and especially dine!

Today, the food service industry is booming in both Rockport and Fulton. Locals and visitors line up at local restaurants, filling the seats and keeping the chefs fresh in the kitchen.

The community is full of just about any food imaginable. There’s a wide variety, from sushi places and sports

bars to local grills that have some of the most unique and creative dishes around.

But seafood restaurants reign in this area, especially with the locally caught fish, crab, shrimp, oysters, and more. After all, what’s better than dining al fresco while the sun sets and a cool breeze blows? For those who are feeling adventurous, they can even cast a line and reel in their own catch straight out of the gulf or bay for the dinner table.

In fact, anglers are encouraged to bring their fresh-caught fare to local eateries as most establishments will cook and prepare seafood to their patron’s liking.

In addition, food trucks are a growing trend

history

From the Ground Up

Bringing the Past to the Present With each bat of the eye, properties in the Rockport-Fulton area are decorated with historical significance. Anne Hunt, a local home restorer, has fallen in love with the area. After purchasing the 1868 Fulton-Bruhl House in downtown a few years ago, she set her eyes on another restoration project.

Hunt’s efforts to bring the home back to life not only impact the community for the good, but also signify the importance of the area’s heritage to locals and tourists alike.

“This restoration set the stage for further development of historic properties in downtown Rockport,” says Pam Stranahan, president of the History Center for Aransas County.

“So much history still remains— homes hidden in neighborhoods and memorabilia in attics. It’s good to see this history front and center.”

It was for this very reason that Hunt decided to embark on a new journey with the 1867 Richard Henry Wood House. The home has multiple fireplaces, as well as its original doors and hardware. The house was first occupied by its namesake Richard H. Wood. He was the first

commissioner over wildlife laws and the mayor from 1882 to 1883.

Thanks to Hunt’s vision for the home, visitors can step back in time and admire these famous structures.

After hiring various experts ranging from restoration architects to landscape designers to engineers, the Richard Henry Wood House is part of the Tour of Historic Homes sponsored by the History Center of Aransas County, while the Fulton-Bruhl House is part of the Tour of Homes by the Rockport Center for the Arts. n By Mallorie Ann Ingram
