Flint Resident Attempts to Avoid Arrest in Corolla
February 6, 2023 – A Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputy observed a white Toyota Corolla traveling on highway 154. The vehicle had defective license plate light. A traffic stop was initiated with overhead lights to conduct a traffic stop near County Road 2174 on Highway 154 South.
The vehicle slowed down but continued to travel northbound. The vehicle continued into Sulphur Springs, past Walmart then east onto Posey Street. At that point, a Texas State Trooper joined in the pursuit.
The vehicle turned around on Posey Street and proceeded to continue Northbound on Broadway. The vehicle entered the Chili’s parking lot, at I-30 South Service Road and Broadway, before another TX State Trooper and the Deputy blocked the Toyota in.
The driver of the vehicle was removed from the vehicle at gunpoint. The driver, 25 year-old Flint TX resident Quaylan Anthony Marquise Brown, was taken into custody. A Miranda Warning was given and Brown was notified he was under arrest for evading arrest. A records check revealed Brown also had an active warrant out of Smith County Tx. Brown was transported to the Hopkins County jail where he was released to jail staff without incident.
Brown was arrested by Tyler Police on April 1, 2019 for Possession of Marijuana and Tampering with evidence. At that time his bond totaled $10,500.

Getting Rid of Ground Moles
By David Wall, Mount Pleasant Master Gardener
There are no guaranteed results when it comes to getting rid of moles. What works great in one location may not work at a different location. There are, however, two methods for me that seem to work time after time. The first is Talpirid, a worm lookalike product, usually purchased online. If a mole eats a Talpirid worm, they simply lay down, go to sleep, and die.
Critical to success is that the bait must be placed in a primary run. Primary runs are often used and can normally be found alongside a driveway, sidewalk, fence with a concrete base, and the foundation of a house.
First, use a screwdriver to punch a hole in the primary run. Then, take a worm from the package and drop it in the hole. Invariably, the worm will hit bottom, leaving approximately one inch above ground, which becomes your flag. Check back later or the next day. If the flag is still visible, the mole hasn’t come across it yet. If it’s gone, scratch one mole. Keep using the bait, because mole families generally consist of 5-6 moles.
A procedure that makes them leave without killing is apple cider vinegar. Note white vinegar is not recommended. Apple cider vinegar repels without killing by its strong odor which gets on mole noses and bugs them for weeks! Further, the apple cider vinegar has higher concentrations of acetic acid than white vinegar. The higher concentration can irritate and burn mole skins. To
use, mix two parts vinegar and four parts water. Spray the top of portions of the primary run every few days until the moles leave.
In either case, moles will return at some point, so be prepared to continue at some point in the future. Oh, the odor will repel other rodent pests too!

Compost Your Garden NOW!
By David Wall, Mount Pleasant Master Gardener
I start to get antsy every January, wanting to have everything for my gardens ready and in place for the soon-to-be growing season, onions excepted, which were put in the ground I mid-late January. One of the biggest items every year is the soil. Have I improved it from last season without resorting to tilling? Is there enough food for the vegetables to use in growth and producing?
During the January/February time each year, for the last several years, I drive some 45 miles to a compost manufacturer and purchase, depending on my needs, anywhere from 1-7 cubic yards of high-quality compost with a pH of 5.5-6.5. The pH is critical, because compost can have a pH of up to 8.5, which won’t do your vegetables much good!
There are three home gardens (11 X2 3, 9 X 17, & 38 X 4) that welcome the compost. Depending on how much the underlying firewood, leaves, mulch and compost were used last season, 2-4” of new compost will be added, with 2” being the minimum.
Putting 2” of new compost provides several accomplishments. First, it provides a top cover that simply lays there undisturbed. There’s no telling how many weed seeds got into your garden last fell, and this top covering will help them to not germinate.
Now, when spring rains filter through this layer, they’ll pick up and pass along “food” to lower layers in the garden, thus making the food available to microorganisms who will, in turn, feed it to your vegetables. After a couple years, the need for fertilizers becomes less and less. I haven’t used fertilizers in these gardens for several years.
Last season in these gardens, okra was 10’ tall and cayenne peppers were 6’ tall. Both produced heavily, and the same for purple hull peas.
My crops get bigger each year, my weeding gets less and prepping the beds is easy as can be. water slowly seeps through the compost into the soil distributing this new wealth of food to the soil in a manageable way that it can be assimilated and used.
Each year the compost stratifies adding a new layer that becomes soil as it breaks down. Once this system has been in place for a couple of years you will notice that you need less and less fertilizer until you need none at all. The soil will get a beautiful rich color and will attract lots of worms and other wonderful beneficial insects. This soil will also hold water better as the organic material acts like a sponge keeping your moisture where it is needed, at the roots of the plants.
Weeding in a no till garden is a much less painful process. Less and less weeds will grow. Have you ever noticed that when you till up a bed in about two to three weeks you have a huge outgrowth of weeds. This is because you have given all the weed seeds that were waiting dormant in your soil the opportunity to germinate. This causes a huge outgrowth of weeds. In a no till system those seeds are dormant under the layers of compost and do not have the chance to cause issues. They will eventually be broke down as organic material in your healthy soil.
When you leave your soil alone and do not disturb it by tilling it each spring you allow the systems of mycorrhizal fungi and worms and other beneficial systems to continue their important work of brining water and nutrients to your plants. If you till them up they have to start over each year from a weaker point. Keeping your soil alive keeps it processing food into bioavailable vitamins and minerals.

Friday Gameday Has Six Teams in Action
Sulphur Springs has five teams in action on Friday, Feb. 3, with four of them locked in to district play.
The two teams not in district action, tennis and women’s golf, are first up on Friday with both teams starting off at 8 A.M.
Lady Cats golf is in Rockwall for their spring-opener, hoping to pick up where they left off in the fall, placing second in all of their competitions.
Coach Whitney Spigener and her team don’t play next until Monday, Feb. 13 when they head to Lindale.
Tennis also is in action Friday, in Kilgore for their second tournament.
Coach Tony Martinez hopes for similar efforts as their first tourney last weekend, at Spring Hill. Sulphur Springs medaled 10 athletes in the competition.
Today they play in Kilgore at a multi-campus tournament, starting at 8 A.M. but are next in action Friday, Feb. 10 in Corsicana.
The other four teams playing Friday, Feb. 3 are all locked in to district play. First up of the four is Wildcats soccer.
The men’s soccer team kicks off at 5:45 P.M. in Pleasant Grove for their district opener.
Coach Alexi Upton and his team not only pushed the game forward due to more fears of tough road conditions, also playing varsity only on Friday.
The Wildcats are 7-7-1 heading into their district opener in Texarkana, hoping to get off on the right foot on Friday, Feb. 3.
Friday’s district opener for the men’s soccer team kicks off at Hawks Stadium at 5:45 P.M.
Sulphur Springs was originally slated to play Liberty Eylau on Tuesday for the district opener, but that game had to be pushed back to next Monday. As a result, the soccer team plays two straight at home next week, Monday and Tuesday.
First they must travel to PG on Friday, Feb. 3 for what is now the team’s district opener.
The second squad locked in district play is Lady Cats basketball, heading on the road to take on Liberty Eylau.
Coach Bryan Jones and his team picked up a huge win on Thursday in Paris, winning the revenge match 49-42. With the win in Paris (4-4), Sulphur Springs (5-3) takes control of third place, now one game ahead of Paris.
They play a second district game in two days, traveling to L.E. on Friday for another huge match-up.
If the Lady Cats can also beat the Lady Leopards Friday, they stand an outside chance of securing the second seed. Sulphur Springs needs Paris to beat L.E. in their season finale if the Lady Cats are to clinch a berth in a play-in for No. 2.
For now, they focus on winning back-to-back district games in two nights when they head to Texarkana to take on the Lady Leopards.
That game tips off at L.E. at 6:30 P.M.
Lady Cats soccer begins their district season Friday, Feb. 3 at home hosting Pleasant Grove.
Coach Adriana Brena and her squad are all too ready to get back out there, beginning the real test on Friday hosting the Lady Hawks.
Sulphur Springs was originally slated to play another game this week, in Frisco at Panther Creek, but that game was canned due to fears of unplayable weather.
With that, the Lady Cats head into their district opener at home with a 7-5 record.
The soccer squad kicks off their district season Friday, Feb. 3 at the Prim, with that game kicking off Friday at 7 P.M.
Coach Brena and her team play at Paris Tuesday.
Also tipping off at 7 P.M. is Wildcats basketball, at home hosting Liberty Eylau.
Coach Shaver’s team is fresh off an impressive 69-47 on Thursday at home versus Paris.
Thursday’s win is the sixth straight for the squad, still perfect at 6-0.
Friday has them playing in a second straight district match up in two days, this time taking on L.E. The Leopards are 4-2 heading into Friday’s contest in Sulphur Springs, tied for second with Pleasant Grove.
A win over L.E. would be the second sweep on the season, having already wrapped up play with Paris after winning both contests.
Friday’s game tips off in the SSHS Main Gym at 7 P.M.
The men’s basketball team is 24-7 heading into their second-straight home game.
