Inaugural “Freedom Ball” a Step Toward Success for Veterans Memorial Fund

Posted by on 11:19 am in Community Events, Headlines, Hopkins County News, Lifestyle, News, Sulphur Springs News | Comments Off on Inaugural “Freedom Ball” a Step Toward Success for Veterans Memorial Fund

Inaugural “Freedom Ball” a Step Toward Success for Veterans Memorial Fund

The first-ever Hopkins County Freedom Ball, held in the Cedar Canyon Event Center on Saturday April 7, 2018, was declared a success by organizers Joe Dan and Mandy Kennedy and committees. The purpose of the Freedom Ball was to bring honor to current and retired military men and women as well as to seek funding for future needs of the Veterans Memorial. The Memorial is the focal point of the downtown Celebration Plaza, situated in front of the Hopkins County Courthouse in Sulphur Springs, Texas.  Those needs include engraving of additional names of veterans on the walls as well as future maintenance and upkeep of the Memorial site.

Attendees of the Ball were treated to a catered dinner and dancing with music by the Kelley Fletcher Band and by Monty Tipps and Main Street. Emcees were Kari Nuckols and John Sellers. Many of the veterans were attired in military uniform and stood as branches of service were recognized.  Everyone enjoyed a spoken rendition of “Ragged Old Flag” by committee member Clayton McGraw. Guest speaker was Sulphur Springs native Chris Jackson, Lt. Col, Retired, USMC who attended with his wife, a 26-year veteran of the USMC, Retired. Jackson addressed the crowd on the value of veterans within our communities, the challenges facing the military today, and the importance of supporting military personnel for the sacrifices they and their families make. Attendees were encouraged to make donations toward engraving un-sponsored veterans, estimated at some 2,000 names of Hopkins County soldiers from all wars. If you would like to help in this cause, contact any Freedom Ball organizer, donate at hcfreedomball.com or see Pam Elliott at Rooster Roast Coffee Bar, 220 Connally Street in Sulphur Springs, Texas for details on how to sponsor a Veteran.

National Work Zone Awareness Week

Posted by on 10:33 am in Headlines, News | Comments Off on National Work Zone Awareness Week

National Work Zone Awareness Week

Paris – In recognition of National Work Zone Awareness Week, April 9-13, the Texas Department of Transportation reminds drivers that every day requires caution when driving through work zones. In 2017, work zone fatalities in Texas increased 9 percent over the previous year, resulting in 199 deaths and 813 serious injuries. With 4 percent of those fatalities being road crew workers, the remaining 96 percent was comprised of motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.

“We always urge drivers to exercise great caution and obey traffic laws, especially in work zones,” said TxDOT Executive Director James Bass. “Doing so helps ensure everyone – motorists and work crews – gets home safely to their loved ones.”

As the state’s population continues to boom, the price of progress can mean more than 2,500 active TxDOT work zones at any given time. The leading causes of statewide work zone crashes – speeding and driver inattention – are entirely preventable. Fines in work zones double when workers are present and can cost up to $2,000.

“Roadside crews often work only a few feet from fast-moving traffic,” Bass said. “Driver vigilance is paramount to ensuring the safety of everyone in the work zone. We urge anyone driving through a work zone to minimize distractions, give their full attention to the road and be prepared to slow down or stop on short notice.”

As part of its ongoing Work Zone Awareness campaign, TxDOT also reminds drivers of the Move Over/Slow Down law, which requires drivers to move over or slow down when approaching TxDOT crews, law enforcement, emergency vehicles or tow trucks stopped on the roadside or shoulder with flashing blue or amber lights. Failure to do so can result in fines up to $2,000.
