Camping Is More Than A Tent In The Woods At Cooper Lake State Park
Have you ever been camping? If not, how would you like to get started? Do you know your camping comfort level? Cooper Lake State Park is a perfect place to explore camping since the park has such a wide variety of overnight opportunities! The park contains two unique units perched on the banks of Cooper Lake. The South Sulphur Unit, which is the largest of the two, is located on the south side of the lake, and the Doctors Creek Unit on the north side. Both parks have a wide variety of camping site types available. Just like Goldilocks, you can find something that’s “just right”! From people who wish to stay in their own motorhomes or travel trailers, to those wishing to camp in a tent by the lake, and even to those who don’t own any camping gear at all, Cooper Lake State Park has something “just right” for the night enjoying the great outdoors!
The cabins at the South Sulphur Unit come furnished with beds, kitchen, and a bathroom. Most of them include beautiful lakeside views. The only thing for you to bring is linens and cookware.
For a cozier experience at either side of the park, we have mini cabins. These smaller cabins are one room structures with two bunk beds, mini fridge, microwave, and AC/Heat. Again, no camping equipment is required. Just bring your pillows, sheets, and blankets from your house and you’re ready to go!
The screened shelters are next level in amenities. These shelters help protect you from the rain while still letting you enjoy the view. Bring your air mattress, hammock, or whatever you want to sleep on, and skip the tent for the weekend. So, you have too many people to fit in the shelter? Go ahead and bring the tent and pitch it next to your shelter.
For those wanting to spend the weekend in their motorcoach, RV, or camper van, both park units have water and electric sites with some having lake views. South Sulphur has a camping loop available for equestrian campers right next to over fifteen miles of hiking/equestrian trails. All of our sites except for our cabin area are also available for tent campers who want electricity to help beat the Texas heat or cold. You can park right at your site, unload, and get setup for a weekend at the lake.
For a more primitive experience, the South Sulphur Unit has 15 water-only sites along the lake’s edge. These sites share a parking lot, and you are only a short walk away from your tent home for the weekend. For a group experience, Doctors Creek has a group site for multiple tents that will accommodate up to forty-eight people. This site has amazing lake views!
Once you have decided on your camping comfort level, be sure to make your reservation by visiting TexasStateParks.org or by calling (512)389-8900. Both park units fill up 3 to 4 weeks in advance on weekends most of the year, so reserve your site early. Once you arrive, enjoy your weekend fishing, hiking, swimming, boating, dark sky stargazing, join a ranger led educational program, roasting marshmallows over the campfire, or just enjoy nature resting under a giant post oak. Texas State Parks are great places to relax, recreate, and recharge your soul!
Park entrance fees are $5 for adults, with kids twelve and under always free. Senior Texans 65 and older will only pay $3 to enter the park daily with a Bluebonnet Pass. Unlimited park entrances for you and everyone in a vehicle you are in can be accomplished with the purchase of a Texas State Park Annual Pass for $70. This pass is good for over 12 months from the date of purchase. All programs are free with a valid entrance permit.

Benefits Of ‘Overseeding’ Pastures
By Mario Villarino, Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources in Hopkins County, [email protected]
“Overseeding” is the term generally used to refer to broadcast-seeding winter annual forage crops on summer pastures, with or without disking or other tillage. “Sod-seeding” usually refers to planting annual crops into a pasture using a drill. Either or both of these operations may be used to establish winter annuals in warm-season pastures. For convenience, in this publication the term “overseeding” will be used to refer to both of these planting methods.
Over-seeding extends the length of time during which a warm-season pasture can provide forage for grazing animals. Instead of six to eight months of forage production, over-seeding can result in 8 to 10 months of productivity, thus helping reduce the need for expensive stored feed. In addition, pastures over-seeded with winter annuals have less hoof damage by grazing animals compared to winter annuals planted on a prepared seedbed. This can be particularly important during prolonged wet periods or on soils that tend to stay wet during the cooler months of the year.
Winter annual forages can also improve animal nutrition. Ryegrass and other winter annuals produce high quality forage; much higher than produced by warm-season perennial grasses. The timing of this nutritional advantage is also important. Cows have their highest nutritional requirements from two months prior to calving until they are re-bred. In many areas, most cows calve in late winter or early spring and are bred again within three months after calving. The peak production of ryegrass forage is also in early- to mid-spring, which is the time it can greatly affect calf weight, calf health and conception rates of cows.

Early Voting In Nov. 8 General Election, 4 School Elections Under Way Today
Early voting in the Nov. 8, 2022, General Election and four school elections — 3 trustees and one bond election 3 — got under way Monday morning, Oct. 24, 2022, at The ROC (First Baptist Church’s Recreational Outreach Center). Early voting by personal appearance will continue through Nov. 4.
As of 9:30 a.m. Monday, Oct. 24, when the first count was posted, a total of 142 Hopkins County residents had cast ballots in the General Election.
That is 34 less voters casting ballots Oct. 24, 2022, than on Oct. 13, 2020, the first day of the 2020 General Election, which concluded with a total of 1,070 county voters (4.25% of registered voters) casting ballots. The 2020 election concluded with a record number of ballots being cast during the early voting period, according to data posted by local Election Officials and Texas Secretary of State’s office. Another 254 ballot-by-mail voters cast ballots on the first day of voting in 2020, increasing the total to 5.31% of registered voters casting ballots on the first day of early voting in 2020.
If the steady stream of voters entering the temporary early voting center at 10:30 a.m. was anything to go by, 2022 could prove be another year of high voting tallies, coming close to the 2020 early voting totals.
Early In-Person Voting
Any registered Texas voter may vote early by personal appearance (in person) at the early voting location in the county of registration.

More Than 79,000 Dead on Texas Roads
MORE THAN 79,000 DEAD ON TEXAS ROADS. IT’S TIME TO CARE.
November 7, 2000, was the last deathless day on Texas roadways
Commissioner Ryan video
David Elizalde video
B-roll of Andrea’s car
Mendoza’s cell phone video
Oct. 20, 2022
AUSTIN – The cell phone video from Easter Sunday shows the convertible Chevy Corvette going 110 mph on Dumas Highway in Amarillo.
“Joey! Chill, bro!” is what the passenger, Dyego Mendoza, shouted over the roaring engine. But it was too late. The car flipped and rolled for several hundred feet before it flew across a highway below, slammed into the side of an overpass and slid down the embankment.
In the video just before the horrific crash, David Elizalde’s 17-year-old daughter, Andrea, can be seen sitting on the center console between the two front seats. She was not wearing a seatbelt.
The crash scene along Dumas Highway was gruesome. Andrea’s Corvette was in pieces, scattered everywhere. The only part of the car that remained intact was flattened.
“We pulled up to a car that was unrecognizable,” said Amarillo Firefighter Brenton Goerend. “You couldn’t tell what it was. It was horrible. We couldn’t find the third person, so we started looking underneath the car.”
Mendoza and the driver survived. Andrea died at the scene, making her one of more than 79,000 people who have died on Texas roads since Nov. 7, 2000.
“It’s not OK to drink and drive,” Elizalde said. “It’s not OK as a father to go through the death of your daughter at the hands of people who are drinking and driving.”
The wreckage of Andrea’s car will provide the backdrop for Elizalde who will be a guest speaker during an #EndTheStreakTX press event in Amarillo on Nov. 16.
Background
This Nov. 7, Texas marks 22 years of daily deaths on our roadways with more than 79,000 innocent lives lost to preventable fatal crashes. For the past several years, about 10 people have died every day in crashes across the state.
For the first time in the agency’s history of analyzing fatal crashes, experts spoke with a psychology professor to dig deeper into the driver behavior. In an interview, Dr. Art Markman from the University of Texas, alluded to an erosion of community that can be a cause for an increase in traffic fatalities.
“We have to remind people that they are part of a community,” Markman said. “We have to start considering everyone as part of our community. If we don’t do that, there are going to be all sorts of negative consequences, and those are going to include negative consequences on the road.”
Texas Transportation Commissioner Laura Ryan, a champion for road safety and TxDOT’s #EndTheStreakTX campaign, said every Texan must do their part. And while the goal of ending the deadly streak is ambitious, Ryan said, it is far from impossible, but we must start to care about others around us.
“With the knowledge that, since the pandemic, people don’t seem to view others around them as part of a community, and, that they care less about those around them, we are starting to identify the problem,” said Ryan. “If we know there is a problem and we can identify that a big part of the problem is a lack of caring or apathy, then we also know the solution – we must care more about those around us.”
Solutions
Drivers have the power to protect themselves, their passengers and fellow community members because most crashes and fatalities are preventable and caused by things such as speeding, drunk driving and distracted driving. That’s why the approach to reaching zero deaths must be through what TxDOT calls the 3 E’s: engineering, education and enforcement. We all have a responsibility to keep our roads and fellow drivers safe.
TxDOT is asking all Texans to do any or all the following to raise awareness:
Make the best and safest decisions behind the wheel, don’t drive under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs; always obey traffic laws; always wear your seatbelt.
Post pictures on social media with this downloadable sign displaying the hashtag #EndTheStreakTX.
Share personal stories on social media of loved ones who have been lost in a crash and use the hashtag #EndTheStreakTX.

Hopkins County Sheriff’s Posse Joins DEA In Hosting Drug Take-Back Day On Oct. 29, 2022
The Hopkins County Sheriff’s Posse, in conjunction with the DEA, is hosting a National Drug Take-Back Day for the Hopkins County area from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday, October 29, 2022, in Wal-Mart parking lot (the northwest corner close to Super Handy), 1750 South Broadway St. in Sulphur Springs.
The DEA’s National Prescription Drug Take Back Day reflects DEA’s commitment to Americans’ safety and health, encouraging the public to remove unneeded medications from their homes as a measure of preventing medication misuse and opioid addiction from ever starting.
The DEA and Hopkins County Sheriff’s Posse (along with the Sheriff’s Office) are committed to making communities safer and healthier, by reducing overdoses and overdose deaths. Part of that includes the annual Drug Take-Back Day events like the one the Sheriff’s Posse will be hosting Oct. 29, 2022. It’s not uncommon for 200 pounds of medications to be discarded at the Hopkins County Take-Back event.
All are encouraged to bring their prescription drugs that are out of date or unneeded. Also, left over prescription drugs from a family member that need to be disposed of, will be accepted by the Sheriff’s Posse during the Drug Take-Back day.
No inhalers or needles will be accepted, however, liquids can now be disposed of at the Take-Back event.
After each collection, DEA picks up the boxes of discarded prescription and OTC medication and sees their safe disposal.
Wildcat Football Picks Up Fifth Straight Win
Sulphur Springs hosted a tough Paris team Friday, winning 21-14 thanks to a number of defensive stops.
On October 21, Coach Brandon Faircloth and his team hosted a challenging Wildcat squad (1-7 overall, 0-3 district) who is better than their record indicates.
Wildcat football had not been challenged in the second half of a contest, as their past four victories all came with the game already out of reach at the half.
Friday, Oct. 21 in Sulphur Springs though, Paris came to play.
It took four stops on defense in the second half for football to be able to add a one to the win column as it stayed tight throughout the entirety of Friday’s contest at Gerald Prim Stadium.
So much so, that Sulphur Springs watched as Paris took the second offensive drive down the length of the field for a score. After the two schools swapped three-and-outs, the Wildcats scored for the first time on the night thanks to Skylar Lewis.
The wide receiver took a double-pass, bubble screen 56-yards to the house to tie the game up 7-7.
Paris then responded in kind, getting their second and final touchdown on the night to lead 14-7.
WR CJ Williams before the first half concluded got his first score on the night with a 25-yard touchdown reception to tie the game back up at 14.
Entering the third quarter though, it was anyone’s ballgame. Both teams traded punts before Williams picked up his second touchdown on the evening to give the Wildcats their first lead on the night at 21-14.
From there, the defense imposed their will as Sulphur Springs forced a punt and turnover on downs to ice the game away. Paris looked as though they were fixing to tie the ball game up, but a pass to the end zone was ruled incomplete with little time on the clock as the Wildcats kneeled their way to victory.
With the home win over Paris, Coach Faircloth’s team’s record improves to 7-1 (3-0 district).
Next up, Wildcat football heads to Kaufman in what has turned out to be a battle for the 2-seed.
The Lions (6-2 overall, 2-1 district) are the current 3-seed, but a win for Sulphur Springs locks the Wildcats as the 2-seed come playoff time. A loss on Friday in Kaufman all but locks them into the third seed.
The battle for the 2-seed begins Friday, Oct. 28 in Kaufman at 7:30 P.M.
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.
