PJC Board of Regents Keep COVID-19 Safety Protocols in Place
Facing uncertainties about the aftereffects of Spring Break and more virulent strains of COVID-19, the Paris Junior College Board of Regents voted to maintain current safety protocols at their meeting on Monday, March 22, 2021.
The issue of continuing mandatory masks and social distancing will be reevaluated after the Spring semester ends in May.
“We don’t know what the next three weeks after Spring Break will bring,” said PJC President Dr. Pam Anglin. “We need to get through this semester and keep everyone safe.”
In other business, the Regents:
- Received a financial report showing that PJC continues to have more revenue than expenses.
- Authorized continuation of local charitable giving through the United Way by opting out of the State Employee Charitable Contribution Campaign. This ensures that local donations are spent locally.
- Adopted a price increase of 3.5 percent for the meal contract with Aramark for 2021-2022.
- Accepted an increase of $60 in Room and Board rates for 2021-2022. The existing Room and Board rate for Thompson and Hatcher Halls is $2,540 and the rate for the South Campus Residence Hall is $2,740. Starting in the Fall 2021 semester, the new Room and Board rates will be $2,600 and $2,800, respectively.
- Accepted changes to 2021-2022 course fees for the 2021-2022 year. The majority relate to the nursing program and reflect changes to HESI testing and simulation lab packets.
- Received an update on the CARES Act/CRRSAA Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund I and II. While spending guidelines continue to be updated, PJC has spent about $1.7 million from first round stimulus funding on students and approved institutional costs. In the second round, PJC was awarded more than $5 million to be reimbursed after approved expenditures. A proposed third round would bring PJC additional funding. At this time, PJC must spend funding from the first two rounds by June 30, 2021. Though guidance has been modified and continues to change, PJC has spent funds on things clearly linked to COVID-19, such as face masks and plexiglass shields, and technology for items such as laptops that students may check out.
- “We feel very comfortable with everything that we have spent money on so far,” said Dr. Anglin. The PJC President said that the college has “been very conservative with what we’ve spent funds on.”
- Renewed faculty contracts and accepted the reassignment of Maria Nava as Upward Bound Advisor effective March 15; the resignation of Licensed Vocational Nursing Instructor Casey Escobedo and the retirements of History Instructor Lisa Johnson, Emergency Medical Services Coordinator Mark Mallory and English Instructor Diann Mason, all effective August 31.

Quinlan Man Receives Maximum Sentence For Tire Theft
A 37-year-old Quinlan man Tuesday afternoon received the maximum sentence for tire theft, according to arrest and court reports.
Jeremy Edward Johnson was accused, while working as a commercial tire salesman, of stealing approximately $63,000 worth of commercial tires from his employer in fall 2019. He was arrested on Dec. 3, 2019 on a warrant alleging theft of property valued at $30,000 or more but less than $150,000 for the tire theft; he was released from jail later that day on a $30,000 bond, according to arrest and jail reports.
Johnson pled guilty to the lesser-included offense of theft of items valued at $2,500 or more but less than $30,000.00, punishable as a state jail felony. A sentencing hearing was conducted March 30, 2021, in the 8th Judicial District Court.
Assistant District Attorney Matt Harris called two witnesses Tuesday and the defense attorney called three witnesses, including the defendant. Harris argued for a sentence of two years in state jail, the maximum sentence, because the defendant was already on probation for a Dallas County theft at the time of the Hopkins County tire theft. The defense attorney argued for probation, according to court reports.
Eighth Judicial District Judge Eddie Northcutt sentenced Johnson Tuesday to two years in state jail. The 37-year-old Sulphur Springs man was taken into custody in District Court on the charge and transported to Hopkins County jail, where he was booked by Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Justin Wilkerson on the charge, according to jail reports.
Women Accused Of Taking A Vehicle For a Test Drive And Never Returning It
Two Sulphur Springs women were jailed Tuesday for allegedly taking a vehicle for a test drive and never returning it, according to sheriff’s and arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office deputies and investigators were out looking for a stolen vehicle. The owner reported a woman for test driving a sport utility vehicle around 1:30 p.m. Sunday, March 28, and never returning it. HCSO Investigator Michael Russell located the vehicle and saw the woman who reportedly took it for a test drive entering a Helm Lane address Tuesday, March 30, 2021. Contact was made with the woman, then, HCSO Deputies Richard Brantley and Jason Lavender took Ozie Lue Goodlow into custody at 10 a.m. Tuesday on an unauthorized use of a vehicle charge.
The 60-year-old Sulphur Springs woman reportedly told the sheriff’s officers that she wasn’t alone when she took the vehicle. She reported her friend and neighbor, Artina Marie Mallry, went with her when she stole the vehicle, deputies alleged in arrest reports. Mallry was contacted, identified using a Tennessee ID card and questioned about the incident, deputies alleged in arrest reports. Mallry allegedly admitted to being with Goodlow when she took the SUV, that she drove Goodlow’s vehicle back to the apartment complex on Helm Lane, where both reside. Mallry was also arrested at 10:11 a.m. March 30 on an unauthorized use of a vehicle charge for her role in the vehicle theft.
Both Goodlow, who is also know by Ozzie Lue Eaton, and Mallry remained in Hopkins County jail Wednesday morning, March 31, 2021, on the unauthorized use of a vehicle charge, according to arrest reports.

DSHS launches Texas Public Health Vaccine Scheduler
Registration Available For Vaccine Clinics By DSHS And Some Other Public Health Entities
As Texas opens COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to everyone age 16 and older, the Texas Department of State Health Services is launching the Texas Public Health Vaccine Scheduler. The scheduler gives people one place to sign up for a COVID-19 shot through multiple public health departments, including the eight DSHS public health regions, which provide public health services in nearly 200 Texas counties, and more than a dozen local health entities across the state.
Texas residents can visit getthevaccine.dshs.texas.gov to create a profile that includes their contact information, demographic details, and preferred time of day and days of the week for an appointment. Within a day, people eligible to be vaccinated will be matched with the next available appointment within their home county and preferred times. If none are available, the scheduler will continue to search for appointments as new clinics are scheduled and contact individuals when they have an appointment.
While most people will sign up online, a toll-free number is available to assist special populations that have difficulty using the online registration tool, including older adults over age 65, people with disabilities, and those with limited Internet access or other barriers to using technology. People in those groups can call 1-833-832-7067 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. seven days a week to enroll in the scheduler and get help making an appointment. If there is no a participating health department in their area, they will be referred to local providers conducting vaccination near them.
The Texas Public Health Vaccine Scheduler will not replace all COVID-19 vaccine registration in the state. Many entities – including pharmacies, medical practices and some public health departments – are operating their own registration systems and will continue to do so. People who want to be vaccinated should continue to look for available vaccine at those providers, as well. Links to other vaccine scheduling tools are available at dshs.texas.gov/coronavirus/immunize/vaccine.
Participating public health entities:
- DSHS Public Health Regions
- Bastrop County Health Authority
- Cameron County Emergency Management
- City of Garland Health Department
- Hays County Local Health Department
- City of Laredo Health Department
- LaSalle County Regional Health Authority
- Lavaca County Health Authority
- Marshall-Harrison County Health District
- Parker County Health Authority
- Rockwall County Health Authority
- San Angelo-Tom Green County Health Department
- Throckmorton Rural Health Clinic
- Uvalde Health Authority
