Davis Announces Intent To Seek Second Term As County Treasurer
Hopkins County Treasurer Danny Davis has announced his intent to seek a second term in serving the people of Hopkins County.
Davis cites successfully performed his responsibilities as both Veterans Service Officer for Hopkins County along with his duties as the County Treasurer among his accomplishments. Upon taking office, Davis pledged to serve both positions under the sole salary of County Treasurer and the associated benefits for both positions. As a result, he notes in his reelection announcement, the county was able to put back into the budget over $50,000 each year while he has been in office.
Davis also promised efficiency and streamlined processes. In addition to updating the paper timekeeping system to a more efficient electronic system, Davis noted his restructuring the office to take on more responsibility by bringing back all the statutory duties that were once removed from the Treasurer’s office. These achievements have led to all accounts being balanced to the penny with no fund adjustments, thereby, allowing the county to receive its first ever A+ rating, Davis stated.
For 30 years, Treasurer Davis has answered the call of duty in service to the people of his country or local community.
In announcing his candidacy for re-election, Davis said, “I am so thankful for the opportunities and trust given me by the people of Hopkins County. I have been honored and blessed to serve as the County Treasurer. It would be a continued blessing to continue to serve the people of Hopkins County.”
As a retired officer of the United States Air Force, the current Veteran Service Officer for Hopkins County and Hopkins County Treasurer, Davis says, “I’d always stated that serving my God and my Country was the greatest honor of my life. Now I say, “It is my highest honor to serve my God, my Country and my County. Hopkins County, thank you for the opportunity to serve you!”

Request To Subdivide Woodside Lane Plat Into 7 Duplex Lots Approved
A request from Tate Price to replat a Woodside Lane lot for future development of the property into 7 duplex lots were approved first by the Planning & Zoning Commission Monday evening and recommended to the Zoning Board of Adjustments, where it also received approval Tuesday evening.
Exceptions are needed for lot dimension for new duplexes as well as a reduced setback on a new proposed roadway for the 1.93-acre plat, just east of 1680 Woodside Lane and directly west of Woodbridge Square. Price proposed a new street instead of a private drive to run through the middle of the designed duplex area, a requirement for the subdivision of the property. Price proposes calling the new street Beachwood Court. In fact, the exceptions would not be required if the project were simply constructed on the lot in its current state. However, the subdivision would require the road and setback exceptions.
The property is currently zones multifamily, but the proposed plan calls for development of the property into seven duplexes, without would be two-famiy rather than apartment units.
As proposed, Beachwood Court would be 32 feet wide with laydown curb and standard 50 feet of right-of-way running through the property. A new public water and sewer main, six-inches each, will be dedicated to serve the development within the road right-of-way. Surface drainage will run behind the lots within the easement area and along the street to a detention pond to accommodate run-off. City staff in reviewing the request asked that an additional right of way to extend to the north property line, allowing for future connectivity.
While the lot dimension satisfy the minimum zoning requirements for two-family development, with 80-foot deep lots, the underlying multifamily zoning requires 100 foot deep lots. Price proposed 88-foot deep lots, which are more consistent with the existing structures there. The existing duplexes west of the proposed site range from 80 feet to 132 feet deep and are zoned multifamily, Sulphur Springs Community Development Director Tory Niewiadomski explained.
Price asked to be allowed to have a 25-foot front yard set back from street curb, the same as the rest of the Woodbridge Crossing properties, for neighborhood consistency. A new street would create a corner lot, at the existing duplex at 1680 Woodside, which does not conform to current city requirements. Typically, both street exposures on corner lots are considered front yards and have 25-foot yard setbacks. However, exceptions for reduced setbacks on plats for secondary front yards may be made by the planning commission.
The engineered plans were reviewed and deemed satisfactory by the city engineer. A community facilities contract will be required for sewer, water and street improvements.
The city sent out 21 notices to property owners within 200 feet of the proposed duplex development and received three replies. One nearby property owner was undecided indicated a desire for what’s best for the neighborhood and property values. Two neighboring property owners were opposed to the variance and cited the fact that the variance does not support approval. One of the opposing responders even referenced concern that the state law and additional questions about hardship.
One Woodside Lane resident, in a written response letter, noted that the setback as requested does not meet three of the four conditions necessary for a hardship approval for a variance request. The respondent indicated there is no apparent special condition inherent in the property requiring the variance, no unique condition and a hardship would not prevent reasonable use of the land. The condition is self-imposed or self-created, the response letter noted, which letter writer noted does not meet the exception requirement.
City staff did recommended approving the plat request and proposed variances, with the city manger authorized to execute the community facilities contract and drainage to be privately maintained by the property owners that abut the drainage easement areas. The Planning and Zoning Commission approved Price’s request Monday evening, forwarding it to the ZBA, where it gained approval of the board.
Fall Armyworms: How to Spot Them and What to Do, by Mario Villarino
Developed by Dr. Mario A. Villarino, County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources Hopkins County, Texas
Recent rainfall events have been a major problem this summer.
As a result of this rainfall, fall armyworms (Spodoptera frugiperda) are thriving across the northern, central and eastern portions of Texas.
Below is some information on the biology of the pest, how to scout for them, and control options to mitigate damage. Fall armyworm caterpillars are primarily identifiable by two features. The head will have apparent white markings that form an upside down “Y” pattern.
The second feature is that the last couple segments of the caterpillar will have black bumps that form a square or rectangle. There are multiple methods that are available to scout for FAW caterpillars. The more common method is to get on your hands and knees and closely inspect the grass. During hot days, check the lower parts of the plant or soil surface where they may be hiding from the harsh temperatures.
Sweep nets are a very good and easy to use tool for sampling for FAW in tall grass. Another method is to run your hands across a 1-2 square foot area and knock the caterpillars to the soil surface. Then, simply inspect the soil for dislodged caterpillars.
Regardless of the scouting method, take note of the size of the caterpillars. Smaller caterpillars (<1/2 inch) are less damaging. Larger caterpillar (>1/2 inch) should be treated soon to prevent greater damage. If using a sweep net, then treat at 2 or more caterpillars ½ inch or larger per sweep.
If making visual inspections, then treat if you have 2 or more FAW caterpillars per square foot. If you are picking up larger numbers of small caterpillars, then treatment is also justified. Most of the time fields are either well below or well above threshold.
If the grass is being used for hay and is near harvest, then harvest early to prevent extra feeding damage. However, be aware that the caterpillars may consume the cut hay, so this is not always a wise option.
Insecticide applications should be made early in the morning or late in the evening if possible, to ensure caterpillars come into contact with insecticide. During hotter parts of the day, caterpillars may be out of the canopy and avoid maximum insecticide exposure.
There are many insecticides that can be used to control FAW caterpillars. Pyrethroids are relatively cheap and readily available. These insecticides take roughly three days to achieve maximum effectiveness against small and large caterpillars.
Pyrethroid insecticides tend to have a short residual period and can be washed off by rains. This lack of rain fast protection can be a problem with the recent weather and possible overlapping generations of fall armyworm caterpillars.
Addition of a product like Dimilin (or generic products with diflubenzuron) can increase the residual control period to 10-12 days, eliminating caterpillars that emerge in that timeframe. Neither pyrethroids nor Dimilin will continue providing control if rain occurs though.
Another fairly inexpensive option in Intrepid (or generic products with methoxyfenozide). This product will provide residual control for about 7 days, but it must be eaten to kill the caterpillar and is not rain fast.
If rain is a continuous issue, the only truly rain fast options are products such as Prevathon, Vantacor, or Besiege. All of these products contain the active ingredient chlorantraniliprole, but Besiege also contains a pyrethroid. These products are absorbed by the leaf tissue and are rain fast upon drying.
While these products are more expensive, they do provide excellent residual activity and will persist longer at the higher rate. For example, Prevathon at 14 fl-oz/ac will typically provide 14 days control, and a 20 fl-oz/ac rate will provide 20-21 days of control.
For additional questions about FAW control, please contact the Hopkins County Extension Office at 903-885-3443. Always use an insecticide according to the label.
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is not responsible for insecticide applications, damages, or other issues encountered.

Summertime Is Fun – But Heat-Related Illness Is Nothing To Joke About
CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs has ONE mission: To Extend the Health Ministry of Jesus Christ.
By Holly Ragan, Senior Market Development, CHRISTUS Mother Frances Hospital – Sulphur Springs, [email protected]
Safe Summer Measures
The July heat is here! With temperatures frequenting the triple digits this month, be aware that heat-related injuries are a real threat.
Heat exhaustion and heat stroke result from prolonged exposure to high temperatures, usually in combination with dehydration, which leads to failure of the body’s temperature control system. Common symptoms include nausea, seizures, confusion, disorientation, and sometimes loss of consciousness or coma. Symptoms that do not go away in a reasonable amount of time by going to a cool place, drinking water, or loosening clothing can indicate the onset of serious medical issues like heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
With the rise in temperatures, it is best practice to be prepared and seek medical help immediately when required. Summertime is fun – but the heat-related illness is nothing to joke about!

Wildcats Football 2021 Season Schedule Released
On Monday, July 19, Wildcats football head coach and Athletic Director Greg Owens released the 2021 season schedule to KSST Radio.
The season kicks off on August 27 when the Wildcats host the Frisco Wakeland Wolverines. The Wildcats lost their season opener to the Wolverines in Frisco last year at Toyota Stadium, home to FC Dallas.
Coach Owens’ squad will have a chance to avenge their lopsided loss to Lucas Lovejoy last year when they travel to the metroplex for two straight games; on Sept. 3, the Wildcats will take on Lovejoy, and the following Friday, Sept. 10, Sulphur Springs will take on Kaufman.
Coach Matt Young, OC for the Wildcats, said the first five scrimmages and games for Sulphur Springs come fall will be against top-10 programs; Pleasant Grove will be featured in the top-10 this season, Frisco Wakeland sports a top-10 defense, Lovejoy is a top program in the state, and Kauffman won the state 7-on-7 tournament in the summer.
After a tough season-opening stretch in which the Wildcats will be tested early and often, they will have a chance to win one at home on Homecoming, Sept. 17, when they host Crandall.
The last time those two teams played last year, it was a game full of fireworks as the Wildcats beat the Pirates on the road by a score of 72-44.
After homecoming in mid-September, though, Greg Owens and his staff will be taking on several opponents that they did not get the chance to play last year due to COVID-19 cancellations.
Over a seven week stretch, Sulphur Springs will be playing three of six teams that they were set to play last year but could not due to various COVID-19 cancellations.
On Sept. 24 the Wildcats will travel out to Ennis to take on the Lions. After a bye on Oct. 1, the following week Sulphur Springs will be back at home to host Royse City, another opponent Greg Owens and his players were set to take on last year.
As the season progresses to the home stretch, the Wildcats will be taking on familiar foes that they played last year; in mid-October they will travel to Corsicana and the week after that Sulphur Springs is back at home hosting Greenville.
On Oct. 29 the Wildcats will celebrate Senior Night when they host Forney, and Sulphur Springs will round out their season with a game at North Forney on Nov. 4.
But before the season gets underway versus Wakeland on Aug. 27, the Wildcats will have two scrimmages the two Fridays leading up to that; first versus Liberty Eylau on August 13, then taking on Pleasant Grove on August 20.
KSST is proud to be the official Wildcat and Lady Cat Station. We broadcast Sulphur Springs ISD games year round live on radio. When allowed, we also broadcast games via our YouTube channel.
