Last Call for Pecans! Sr’s Fundraiser Sale Ends Wed. October 28, Delivery Nov. 2
Karon Weatherman knows there are some great cooks in Hopkins County who like to make sure they have enough pecans stored for winter baking! A few weeks ago, local resident Susan Vaughn organized the 2020 Fundraising Pecan Sale to help add to the Sr. Center’s funds for furnishings for the new building, and the deadline is nearing. Then pecans are plump, large and delicious! This is how the fundraiser works.
Let Susan Vaughn know by Wednesday October 28 the number of bags of pecan halves you’d like to order from the Green Tree Pecan Farm of Corsicana. The one pound bags of large shelled pecan halves cost $11 each. Once you have placed your order by phone or by text to Susan (903-348-7516) you will only need to wait less than a week to get your pecans. Susan plans to travel to Corsicana on the weekend of October 31 to pick up the pecans. Then she will be present at the Sulphur Springs Senior Citizens Center at 150 MLK Drive on the afternoon of Monday November 2, 2020.
You can pay by check during the afternoon on Monday November 2 when you pick up your order. Annually, Susan assists the good bakers of our community by bringing the pecans back from Corsicana farm, and donates a portion of the proceeds to the Senior Citizens Center. These bags of pecans also make great holiday gifts! Contact Karon Weatherman with any questions, 903-885-1661.

Early Morning Disturbance Complaint Results In 2 Intoxication Arrests
An early morning disturbance complaint resulted in 2 intoxication arrests, according to arrest reports.
Sulphur Springs Police officers were dispatched at 1:50 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 24, 2020, to Cranford Street at Robertson Street to a disturbance in which a male was alleged to be holding a female on the ground.
Upon arrival, officers contacted a man and woman and detained both. Police determined no assault was or had occurred.
However, police alleged a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage could be detected on the breath of each. Both also were alleged by police in arrest reports to be unstable on their feet, had bloodshot eyes and displayed slurred speech.
Another person at the Cranford Street residence, where the pair lives, confirmed both had been drinking liquor.
The 21-year-old Sulphur Springs man and 24-year-old Sulphur Springs woman were both taken into custody and jailed on a public intoxication charge. Both remained in Hopkins County jail late Saturday morning, Oct. 24, according to jail reports.

Heroin, Pills, Marijuana Found During Warrant Arrest
Heroin, pills and marijuana were found during a warrant arrest Friday evening on North Jackson Street, according to arrest reports. Another Sulphur Springs man was also jailed Oct. 23 on an order revoking bond.
Jackson Street Arrest
Aware Joshua Lewis White had warrant for his arrest for violation of parole and a possible location for him, Sulphur Springs Police Officer Sean Hoffman went to the North Jackson Street location around 5 p.m. Oct. 23. A car door was seen quickly closing as he approached the residence. The man in the back seat of the car was identified as the wanted man. White was taken into custody at 5:18 p.m. Friday on the warrant for violation of parole-indecency with a child by sexual contact.
When asked if he had anything illegal on him, the 32-year-old Sulphur Springs man allegedly admitted to having a bag of contraband in his crotch area. A black bag containing heroin, pills, marijuana and a needle was removed. Consequently, White was also charged with possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance.
White remained in jail Saturday morning, Oct. 24, on both charges. The arrest was the second time he’s been jailed in Hopkins County in the last 3 months on a controlled substance charge, according to jail reports. White was jailed July 30, 2020, for possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance; he was released Aug. 3 on a $5,000 bond.
Jail reports show White was arrested on Nov. 16, 2007 on an indecency with a child by sexual contact charge; then on Feb. 24, 2010 for violation of probation on an indecency with a child charge. White was jailed July 16 after being sentenced to 8-year and 12-year prison sentences for sex offender failure in duty to register.
Pickton Arrest
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Scott Davis, aware of the warrant for Kendall Charles Frazier’s arrest, located the 25-year-old Sulphur Springs man at 6:52 p.m. Oct. 23 at his place of residence in Pickton.

Lady Cats Notch Sixth Straight Victory, Beating Lady Tigers 0-3
On Friday, Oct. 23, 2020, the Lady Cats Volleyball team travelled out to Mt. Pleasant to take on the Lady Tigers in a district match.
While the match was a back-and-forth affair, the visiting Lady Cats still managed to leave their district foe’s venue victorious, sweeping the Lady Tigers, 0-3.
The Lady Cats were again without Sadie Washburn and Caroline Hurley, but Kaslyn Hurley (#15, center of photo above) and Kinsley Smallwood (#14) played for the second straight game, and once again played admirably. Hurley finished the game with 3 kills and 2 blocks.
The Lady Cats started off lightning hot, taking the first 16 of 20 points, with Smallwood contributing 2 kills in that run, en route to a dominant 15-25 set one win.
In set two, the Lady Tigers came back with a vengeance, as the two teams tied six separate times; 9-9, 10-10, 11-11, 12-12, 13-13, and 14-14. From there, though, the Lady Cats took the lead, and never looked back; winning set two in a tight 22-25 win.
Set three was more of the same, as the teams tied 11 total times in the third set. Unlike set two, though, where the Lady Cats took the lead and went on to win the set, the opposite was true in set three.
When it looked as though the Lady Tigers were on the cusp of their first set win of the evening, leading 21-18, once again, the Lady Cats found strength through adversity, going on a 7-0 run to win set three, 25-21, and the game, 0-3.
Coach Dorner was proud of the way her team has fought through adversity, with two of the team’s starters being out this week, but still believes there is room for improvement.
Coach Dorner said at times her team played a little sloppy and relaxed, but was still happy to get two victories this week and proud of the way her team persevered and never quit.
Next up the Lady Cats (6-1 district, 9-6 overall) volleyball team will be hosting Texas High on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 4:30 PM in the Main Gym.
