Steve Killian Reports Cooper Lake State Park is Summer-Ready!
Steve Killian is Complex Supervisor for Cooper Lake’s dual State Parks. He’s renewing his invitation to everyone in the community to take advantage of the affordable fun, recreation and education offered by the Doctor’s Creek Unit, situated on the north side of the lake and the South Sulphur Unit, located on the south side of Cooper Lake. Whether it’s fishing, boating or swimming at the sandy beach, there’s going to be plenty of water in the lake and for hikers, bikers, horseback riders and campers, plenty of fun to be had at this ‘gem’ of a State Park in our own back yard!
In an interview on the KSST Good Morning Show with Enola Gay, Kilian shared that during the 15 months of COVID, people who became restless being indoors turned out for State parks all across Texas. “And doing so may have made them re-discover just how great our park system is! The rate of visitors has not slowed down but has continued to build with each month that passes. Studies show that 54% of visitors are from the Dallas/Ft Worth area, and 39% are from rural Texas with a small percentage being out-of-state visitors. So Texans, go ahead and plan your trip to a State park far away or right here at home!
There are four new faces on the park staff; Marissa Powers who is a Maintenance Ranger, Breeanna Hicks who is a Seasonal Program guide, Callie Shell a summer intern and Tony Smith who was hired last year as Asst. Complex Superintendent. These new staffers have been added to bring back programs which could not be conducted during COVID, and to add oversight park-wide. Along with 25 total staffers who interact with park visitors, there is also a law enforcement presence for both the north and south park areas.
This weekend is a good example of the fun and recreation offered. At the sandy beach swimming area on the South Sulphur Unit, a shaded educational area will be set up on Sunday to present “Skins and Skulls”, a hands-on nature program showing artifacts from many of the types of animals which inhabit the park. And coming up is a celebration of the 25th Birthday of Cooper Lake State Park. The 2-day event October 15/16 will feature a Living History group’s ‘The Buffalo Soldiers” re-enactment, plus a live outdoor music concert by the Reilly Springs Jamboree, to mention just a few of the unique attractions.

Cranford Street Lot And Setback Variance, Industrial Drive Sign Variance Granted
The Zoning Board of Adjustments and Appeals granted two variances Tuesday evening, a Cranford Street lot and setback variance and an Industrial Drive sign variance.
Cranford Street Variance
Susan Stearns asked the ZBA to allow a variance for the lot and setback requirements for 639 Cranford St. Essentially, Community Development Director Tory Niewiadomski explained the variance would allow Lots 2C and 3C in Block 34 1 to be subdivided. The property, zoned single family, has a 25-foot front yard setback, 6-foot side yard and 10 foot rear yard setback and minimum 6,000 square foot lots. The lot currently contains two homes, with a total lot size of 11,314-square feet. It is not possible to create two 6,000 square foot lots based on its existing footprint.
While the city’s ordinance regarding lot standards within a subdivision recommends avoiding double frontage lots, most of the lots between Brinker ad Cranford streets in that section of the city have two homes, some separate lots have less than 6,000-square feet each. there are no utilities running through the middle of the proper.
Allowing 639 Cranford to be separated into two lots meets the spirit of the ordinance, thus city staff recommended approving the variance. Records checks showed no initial plat records for the property, Niewiadomski noted.
Stearns, in her application, noted that there had been no interest in buying the house with a loft in the rear.
The ZBA granted the variance with setback, receiving approval from all voting; Janet Martin abstained because her “for sale” sign is in front off the property.
Industrial Drive Variance
The ZBA was also asked to consider approving a “meritorious exemption” to the sign ordinance to Kramerica Outdoor Advertising for property at 430 West Industrial Drive. The existing billboard was demolished and Kramerica proposed replacing it with a digital billboard. The existing sign was a double stacked sign with two 10.5′ x 36′ signs totaling 756 square feet. The applicant is proposing to install a smaller 672-square foot sign.
The sign ordinance allows billboard on I-30, SH 19, SH 154/South Broadway south of I-30, Loop 301, SH 11/Wildcat Way. Signs must be monopole design, cannot exceed 300 square feet or 40 feet in height, cannot be closer than 2,000 feet from an existing billboard, and must conform to TxDOT sign rules and regulations when on a state highway, and may be digital. These sign requirements were drafted to ensure against the kind of signage that results in low visual quality and guarding against overregulation of signage.
While the proposed billboard doesn’t meet the location and spacing standards, it is more compliant than the previous billboard. It’s more than 2,000 feet from another billboard on the same side of I-30, but there are two signs across the highway within the 2,000-foot separation requirement. It would not obstruct surveillance from emergency vehicles, would provide efficiency communication without being overwhelming and doesn’t detract for its surroundings.
Niewiadomski noted that city staff did recommend approval of the sign, which is smaller than and more conforming than the previous sign, and would be located more than 2,000 feet from another billboard on the same side of I-30.
The Zoning Board approved Kramerica’s application for a variance to the sign ordinance for 430 West Industrial Drive.
WC Opens Child Care Subsidy Program To Workers Engaged in Job Searches
Commission Waives Rule Requiring Participants Be Employed; Temporary Eligibility During Work Search Allowed
AUSTIN – The Texas Workforce Commission on Tuesday passed a waiver of a rule to allow unemployed individuals to enroll in the child care subsidy program. Previously, only individuals who were already employed, or participating in education/training, could be enrolled into the child care subsidy program. This change will help accommodate workers who are actively looking for employment, allowing them up to three months to find employment. The program is designed to assist working families, thus it is generally not available to parents who are not employed. However, lack of child care is frequently cited by individuals on unemployment as a major impediment to getting a job.
“TWC is committed to providing comprehensive services to help Texas job seekers connect to rewarding opportunities with Texas employers,” said TWC Chairman Bryan Daniel. “I encourage Texas families to take advantage of the expanded availability of child care, as well as training and upskilling services through TWC, to pursue a career in Texas’ exciting industries.”
The subsidized child care program is funded by a federal grant, which provides the state the flexibility to expand to this population. The commissioners will waive the rules effective July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
“Texas Workers have faced many challenges over the last year but getting back on their feet after so long has been particularly difficult,” said TWC Commissioner Representing Labor Julian Alvarez. “This is a step we can take that preserves the focus of the program on working families, but provides help in that crucial job-search period.”
Parents in the program receive a subsidy for child care, with a copay based on actual income. The changes will allow the parents to qualify for child care with the copay waived until a job is found. The copay would then be put in place at the appropriate level after the individual is employed.
“Texas employers are rebounding from the pandemic and have job openings they are anxious to fill,” said TWC Commissioner Representing Employers Aaron Demerson. “For some Texans looking for a job, child care is that last piece of the puzzle that will help them re-enter the workforce and this program is win-win situation for both the employers and employees.”

Wildcats 7 on 7 Goes 1-2 in State Qualifier Tournament Last Weekend in Tyler
Last weekend about 18 students travelled to Lindsay Park in Tyler for the state qualifier for 7 on 7. While the Wildcats were able to win one game last Saturday, they dropped two games to be eliminated from the tournament.
In spite of this, Wildcats offensive coordinator Matt Young called Saturday a “good day.”
The Wildcats opened up their state qualifying tournament with a game against Corsicana, with Sulphur Springs exploding out of the gate for an 18-0 lead going in to halftime. Brady Driver was the first team QB since Matthew Mitchell is away from the team playing baseball, Coach Young said.
According to Coach Young, the 18 points scored by Driver were the most he has scored all spring.
The Wildcats OC said CJ Williams, Carson Fenton, and Reed Williams did great work working in the middle of the field, and Coach Young said Driver did a great job checking the ball down to Malakai Rolling and keeping the ball moving downfield.
Coach Young said the defense played really well, as 2 or 3 players ended the game with interceptions, according to the Wildcats offensive coordinator.
The Wildcats went on to beat Corsicana, 18-6, and were able to do so without scoring a single point in the second half. To get a 7 on 7 win against a district opponent in the Tigers is always nice, Coach Young said.
After the win against Corsicana, the Wildcats took on Wylie East. Game two proved not as fruitful, as on the Wildcats first drive they were able to march all the way down the field, but were stopped by the Raiders on 4th and 1 at the goal line.
Momentum shifted in a big way after the Raiders’ goal-line stand, as Wylie East went on to beat Sulphur Springs by a score of 18-6.
With the score at 12-6, the Wildcats had a chance to tie the game up, but were not able to make enough plays to score and tie the game up.
Coach Young said Wylie East did good things on both offense and defense.
In the third and final game last Saturday, Sulphur Springs took on (formerly) John Tyler, now Tyler High. A high-scoring affair, the Wildcats ended up losing 35-22. Like the game against Corsicana, the Wildcats trailed by one possession at one point, 29-22, but the Lions tacked on one more to put the game out of reach.
Coach Young said he thought the Wildcats played really well. The Wildcats offensive coordinator said he did have some critiques and improvements that Driver can make in the short-to-gain-game.
Overall, Coach Young thought his squad played well, worked well with each other, competed well, and made significant strides of improvement from where they started two months ago to last Saturday, when their 7 on 7 came to an end.
“I like how 7 on 7 went,” Coach Young said, and added that “defensively, the things [the Wildcats] are starting to do is really exciting.”
With 7 on 7 season now concluded for Sulphur Springs, the Wildcats can now put all of their focus and energy in to the Edge. The Edge for football runs Monday through Thursday, from 8 A.M. to 10 A.M. for students entering 10th through 12th grades and 10 A.M. to noon for students entering the seventh to ninth grades.

Wildcats Soccer Getting in Morning Practices During The Edge
On Wednesday, June 16, we met up with Wildcats soccer coach Alexi Upton to discuss how The Edge was going for his program.
In its second week, Coach Upton said men’s soccer has averaged about 20 participants, give or take. According to Coach Upton, about 60 kids are in the soccer program, so about 1 in 3 kids are at the Edge as of the first two weeks.
“It isn’t perfect,” Coach Upton said about his numbers, “but it’s a good start.”
With so many students on vacation or preoccupied playing other summer-league sports, it has forced the Wildcats soccer coach to adjust, but according to Coach Upton, students working summer jobs has had the biggest impact on students attending the Edge.
Coach Upton said about half of the group had jobs.
“That’s a real big struggle for us,” the Wildcats soccer coach said about students being away due to jobs, but added that it’s up to the coaching staff to try to get the students who are not utilizing the Edge yet to start practicing and attending the strength and conditioning program with the team.
Speaking on what he has liked, now almost done with the second week of Edge, Coach Upton spoke on how impressed he has been with underclassman at The Edge.
Coach Upton said he liked how he has seen a bunch of young athletes attending, ranging from students entering the ninth grade to tenth grade.
“That’s really good to see,” the Wildcats soccer coach said speaking on his underclassmen, saying that incoming freshmen and sophomores have been “coming out and working.”
Coach Upton said he appreciates the fact that those same students are working hard during the Edge, especially considering that many of those same kids do not have jobs and do not necessarily have to be there.
“The kids are working hard,” Coach Upton said about his student athletes, adding that “they’re doing a really good job.”
The Edge for men’s soccer runs Monday through Thursday from 8:30 A.M. to 10 A.M. at the Prim. The Edge began last Monday, June 7, and will continue until July 15.

Ribbon To Be Cut On New Grays Building Noon June 18
All Day Juneteenth Freedom Celebration Planned June 19 At Pacific Park
The new Grays Building in Pacific Park will be on display for public viewing at noon on Friday, June 18, 2021, when the ribbon will officially be cut. Work has been ongoing on the site all year. During the month of May, a dedication was held and a plaque placed in honor of the building’s namesake, the late Mr. H.W. Grays, who as a community leader was involved during his lifetime in activities for children and youth.
The new Grays Building is a community center, complete with restrooms, storage, and a kitchen area with refrigerator and appliances. There’s also a small covered patio suitable for picnic tables and dining. The majority of the structure was completed in May 29, 2021, with one exception – the roll up bay doors that open into the park have yet to arrive and be installed. However, there are temporary roll up doors. The permanent doors will be made of glass. Restroom fixtures and facilities, and kitchen counters and equipment also had yet to be fully installed on May 29. City staff have performed as much of the work for the project as possible to save money, including doing all of the ground work. City crews had begun placing the sidewalk at the May groundbreaking.
The construction of the Grays Building was the first phase of the voter-approved park improvement program funded with bonds authorized by taxpayers, as well as an overall renovation of Pacific Park. Part of the bond funds will also go toward construction of a new senior citizens activity center on Oak Avenue. Bonds issued for both building projects will be repaid using EDC funding over the next 20 years.
The next phase of the Pacific Park improvements will be renovation of the actual grounds themselves, which a Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant will help fund. That part of the park renovation project is just getting started. Additional parking spaces, a walking track, new sports pavilion and new playground are part of the overall plan for the park.
The ribbon will be cut at noon Friday June 18, 2021, for the new Grays Building, and the public is invited to attend.
The Pacific Park and HW Grays Building will be in use the next day, Saturday June 19, with a Juneteenth Freedom Celebration which will be an all-day event. There will be food, music, games and fun. A Semi-2K Dun to Freedom will begin at 8 a.m., and a Juneteenth Parade will begin at 11 a.m. A host of games and music will take place all day.
Mesquite Man Sentenced On Aggravated Assault Charge
Fort Worth Man Pleads Guilty To Felony DWI
An 18-year-old Mesquite man was sentenced on an aggravated assault charge. A 61-year-old Fort Worth man pleded guilty to felony DWI and was sentenced in court this week as well, according to court and jail reports
Aggravated Assault Sentence
A sentencing hearing was conducted Monday in the 8th Judicial District Court for Justin Quentil Richards, on an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge.
The charge stems from an incident in which several gunshots were allegedly fired near the skate park Sunday evening, May 3, 2020, during a disturbance involving two vehicles. One person was reported to have been shot. One male was transported in a private vehicle by his friends to the hospital and the alleged suspected fled, Sulphur Springs Police reported in May 2020.
Richards was identified during the course of a police investigation into the alleged offense and arrested May 5, 2020. He remained in Hopkins County jail until Jan. 26, 2021. The injured male had reportedly been released from the hospital in good condition May 5.
The sentencing hearing was conducted Monday in the case. Richards faced 2-20 years in prison. Assistant District Attorney Matt Harris called four witnesses and argued for prison time. The defense called one witness and argued for probation.
Judge Eddie Northcutt Sentenced Richards to 3 years in Texas Department of Criminal Justice, according to court and jail records. Richards remained in Hopkins County jail Wednesday morning, awaiting transport to prison on the charge.
Felony DWI Sentence
A 61-year-old Fort Worth man too was sentenced Monday in the 8th Judicial District Court on a driving while intoxicated, third or more offense, charge, according to court and jail records.
A Cumby Police officer arrested Johnny Vance Danner was arrested Saturday, June 6, 2020, after driving a Buick into a guardrail near the 112 exit on Interstate 30. He allegedly admitted he had been drinking “a lot” but refused to perform field sobriety tests. Dispatchers reported Danner had a prior DWI third or more offense conviction on his record, resulting in an addition felony charge for that offense. Danner was released from Hopkins County jail on a $10,000 bond the next day.
On June 14, 2020, Danner pled guilty and received “a 10/10 probation.” He will be required to spend 10 days in jail as a condition of probation, and will be required to attend a long-term residential rehabilitation facility for military veterans, according to the ADA.
Danner remained in Hopkins County jail June 16, 2021, on the charge.
