CR 1165 Disturbance Complaint Results In Warrant Arrest
A CR 1165 disturbance complaint resulted in a misdemeanor warrant arrest, according to arrest and sheriff’s reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff‘s Deputies Colt Patterson, Chris Baumann, Justin Wilkerson and Bobby Osornio responded at 7:35 p.m. to a CR 1165 disturbance complaint. A woman’s husband was alleged to be “breaking everything” in the CR 1165 home, a caller told dispatchers, according to sheriff’s reports.
Upon arrival, however, deputies determined the disturbance was verbal only, not physical. A records check did show the 31-year-old Brashear resident did have two active warrants for his arrest. Thus, the male resident was taken into custody at 8:03 a.m. on the failure to control speed and driving while license invalid warrants, according to arrest reports.
The Brashear resident remained in Hopkins County jail Friday morning. Fees owed on the outstanding traffic charges totaled $811, according to arrest and jail reports.

Spring is Here! How Does Your Garden Grow?
We would like to know how your garden grows! Send us photos of healthy plants growing in your garden or patio now, and send photos again when your crop is harvested! For families in our community, gardening is a popular part of Spring/Summer 2020, and we’d like to share photos of your success here! Send photos to [email protected]
Gardening has experienced an upswing in popularity this year, for varying reasons. For some, it’s enhanced appreciation for organic, hand-raised produce, and for others, the COVID-19 ‘stay home, stay well’ declaration has furnished extra time for yard and garden projects. Some have started a backyard plot for the first time, with the whole family or even neighbors pitching in. Gardeners who usually cultivate ‘a few tomato plants’ have expanded to a fuller array of vegetable, herb and floral favorites. Container gardening is even more widely enjoyed on the porches, patios and decks of apartment dwellers and homeowners. Out in the country, large-garden plantings continue to be a springtime habit for many, and despite excessive rainfall this Spring, well-drained garden plots are thriving. Here’s some photos from a gardener in the Arbala area.
Early-spring produce like English peas, greens and radishes which thrive in cool, wet conditions must be planted early. Potatoes and onions must also be placed in the ground early. That’s an easier task if your garden plot is already established and the ground is ready. Later-season vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, squash, peas and beans, melons and okra can be planted later in the spring when the ground warms up. Fall crops of certain vegetables may be planted and harvested before the first autumn frost. Pumpkins and winter squash can be planted in mid-summer for harvest in the Fall, and greens can be sowed for a Fall crop.
Marlon Webb celebrates his 69th birthday this week doing what he loves most, being out in the yard and garden. He told me it keeps him young! He and his wife Donna grow enough to eat all year, but it takes daily maintenance, practically year round. Sometimes when he needs a little extra help before a storm or a frost, friends like Gary Mayers offer to pitch in. In late 2019, friends showed up to help pick all the green tomatoes off the vines before a hard freeze was expected that night.

Hopkins County Sheriff‘s Deputy Bobby Osornio, while on patrol around 11 p.m. April 15, 2020, spotted a gray Ford F-150 pickup parked on the side of FM 69 north near County Road 3504. The officer turned on his overhead vehicle lights and pulled over to conduct a possible motorist assist.

CTE Programs May Donate Unused PPE, Med Supplies To Help Coronavirus Response
WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced career and technical education or CTE programs can donate or loan personal protective equipment and other medical supplies purchased with federal funds to public health agencies, private nonprofit hospitals, and other licensed health providers to support the nationwide coronavirus response effort. This new flexibility guidance comes in response to a desire from state and other CTE educators to donate their unused equipment during the COVID-19 National Emergency.
“We are all fighting coronavirus together, and each of us is looking for ways we can contribute to defeating this invisible enemy,” said Secretary DeVos. “After hearing from educators about their desire to contribute to this fight, it was a no-brainer to cut through the red tape and provide them the flexibility needed to donate valuable medical equipment to our brave medical professionals on the front lines.”
Many CTE programs purchase PPE and other supplies and equipment through funds awarded by federal grants for use in hands-on learning opportunities in various medical fields of study. Examples of equipment currently not needed for learning activities that can be donated or loaned under the new flexibility offered by the Department include gloves, masks, face shields, gowns, ventilators, and three-dimensional printers.
Additional details about equipment donations and loans can be found here.

Tira News — April 15, 2020

We want to extend our sympathy to the family of Stanley Dickey. His wife is
William Dodd’s sister, June. Joyce mentioned that he lived in the “Freeman Parish house when he was young.” He passed away on Monday, April 13. A private family graveside service, under the directions of West Oaks Funeral Home, was scheduled for Thursday, April 16. Please remember the family in prayer.
We had a blessed Easter weekend. We enjoyed church online on Sunday morning and evening. Our grandson and granddaughter-in-law, Landon and Laiken Joslin, and their boys, Rylan, Brailon and Slaiden came on Sunday afternoon. Laiken’s brother, Kasen, came, too. We were so glad to see them all! They didn’t come in the house, but we enjoyed visiting and watching the kids hunt Easter eggs — from a distance. Our grandson, Kenden Joslin, and his girlfriend, Emma Hall, stopped by and visited us in the yard later that evening.
I didn’t receive any reports of Easter activities, but I’m sure others celebrated in their homes and yards. Yvonne Weir did mention that she went to the drive in service at her church and I talked to others who participated in online services from home. I hope to have more to report next week.
I always need and appreciate input from my friends to help keep me informed of news in our community. If you have any news pertaining to Tira residents, past or present, please contact me, Jan Vaughn, at 903-438-6688 or [email protected].
