Wildcats Golf Has Tough Finish to Season
Men’s golf had a tough end to their season, placing 6th in the district championship.
Bad luck plagued Coach Jeremy Delorge’s squad.
Extremely choppy winds, tough putting and continuous adversity proved too much to overcome as Wildcats golf could not advance to Regionals.
Only the top two schools from each district move on to Regionals, with men’s golf did not making the cut.
No golfers from Sulphur Springs move on to the Regional meet held a few weeks from now.
While it may have been a tough end to an otherwise solid season, Coach DeLorge returns a number of experienced veterans.
Caleb Kesting, Tripp Smith, Wayne Hinton and Mason Booth all return as seniors.
Jerry Choi, a junior and foreign exchange student is not returning to the Wildcats golf squad next year.
Now though, Coach DeLorge and men’s golf take a breather and celebrate their seniors who put in the work for several years as they take the next step in life in high school graduation.

Wildcat Korderian “Bull” Turner Signs Letter to Play at East Texas Baptist University
On Wednesday, Mar. 30 athlete Korderrian “Bull” Turner signed his letter of intent to play on at East Texas Baptist University in Marshall.
The senior played football, basketball and track in his time in Sulphur Springs.
Turner is the son of Stacey Cork and stepson of Kenneth Cork.
The senior had already technically signed before the event, so Wednesday’s signing event at the Multi Purpose Building was more as a formality, and so his classmates and peers could thank him for all the hard work he has put in and cheer him on as he takes the next step to play in college at ETBU.
Turner said he met the coaching staff a few months ago. The senior said he had a chance to talk and visit the campus when he met the staff.
He said ETBU offered him the day afterwards.
Turner said the coaching staff was understanding and told him that it might take him some time to see action, but that they would help him grow all along the way. Turner said he did not mind as he will be focused on classes.
“School comes first before everything,” the ETBU signee said.
The senior said it just felt like a good fit for him.
Turner said he will be playing football and track as well. Turner’s football and track coach Matt Young said he was proud of how hard he’s worked and how happy he is to see him sign on at ETBU.
Coach Young said Turner did a good solid job reaching his decision. He went on to say the senior was a great kid and a great student.
Turner is not alone in signing with ETBU, as dual-sport athlete Colt Silman also heads to Marshall after graduation in May.

Unilever Recall: Suave 24-Hour Protection Aerosol Antiperspirant – Powder and Fresh Scent
Slightly Elevated Levels of Benzene Cited
Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey – Unilever United States is voluntarily recalling two Suave 24-Hour Protection Aerosol Antiperspirants to the consumer level. An internal review showed slightly elevated levels of benzene in some product samples. While benzene is not an ingredient in any of the recalled products, the review showed that unexpected levels of benzene came from the propellant that sprays the product out of the can.
Unilever is recalling all lots of the products below with an expiration date through September 2023. No other Unilever or Suave products are in the scope of this recall.
Benzene is classified as a human carcinogen. Exposure to benzene can occur by inhalation, orally, and through the skin; it can result in cancers including leukemia and blood cancer of the bone marrow and blood disorders which can be life threatening. Benzene is ubiquitous in the environment. Humans around the world have daily exposures to it indoors and outdoors from multiple sources. Based on an independent health hazard evaluation, daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products at the levels detected in testing would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences.

The affected products were in limited distribution at U.S. retail stores and online. Retailers have been notified to remove recalled products from shelves.

Self-Attestation Of Sex Marker To Be Offered Soon For Social Security Number Records
The Social Security Administration announced a new policy change which will allow people to self-select their sex marker on their Social Security number record, likely beginning in the fall of 2022.
The announced was made by Acting Commissioner of Social Security Kilolo Kijakazi Thursday morning, March 31, 2022.
“The Social Security Administration is committed to reducing barriers and ensuring the fair treatment of the LGBTQ+ community by updating our procedures for Social Security number records,” said Acting Commissioner Kijakazi. “This policy change will allow people to self-select their sex in our records without needing to provide documentation of their sex designation.”
According to the SSN press release, people who update their sex marker in Social Security’s records will need to apply for a replacement card. They will still need to show a current document to prove their identity, but they will no longer need to provide medical or legal documentation of their sex designation once the policy change becomes effective. SSN cards do not include sex markers.
In February, the agency issued guidance instructing employees to accept evidence documents that contain non-binary identifiers for original SSN and replacement SSN card applications, and other updates to the agency’s internal SSN records. The agency is exploring possible future policy and systems updates to support an “X” sex designation for the SSN card application process, according to the SSA statement.
