Bid For Roofing For New Grays Building Approved
A bid for roofing for the Grays Building, 3 new track loaders and contract for elections services were approved by Sulphur Springs City Council at the regular October meeting held earlier this week via Zoom.
Grays Building
Work on the new Grays Building in Pacific Park continues, with the approval of a roofing bid, pouring of piers and plumbing work.
City Finance Director Lesa Smith reminded the council that the decision was made at a previous meeting to rebid the roofing, as costs came in quite a bit higher than project. More than 40 notices were sent to potential bidders for roofing, gutters and sidings for the Grays Building.
The city received four responses: a bid from Griffith Roofing for $83,795, a bid from Diamond B. Roofing of $83,582.75 plust a $2,700 required add on for a total of $85,282.75; a bid from Inman A+ Gutters of $151,341 and a bid of $178,100 from Hefner Roofing.
The City Council accepted Smith’s recommendation that the bid be awarded to the low bidder, Griffith Roofing.
City Manager Marc Maxwell also reported that city staff will be handling quite a bit of ground work for the project, lead by Public Works director Russ Nuss, a master plumber.
The piers for the Grays Building have been poured to a depth of 18 feet. The Capital Construction Division is installing the below grade plumbing. After the plumbing is roughed in, the city’s master electrician, John Smith, will install the below grade conduit for electrical circuits. Potts Concrete Construction will then finish constructing the concrete foundation.
Compact Track Loaders
The city also budgeted, in the enterprise budget, for 3 compact track loaders, commonly called skid loaders, to replace two currently being used by the city’s concrete and pipe crews in the Capital Construction Department and a third units is being used by the water and sewer distribution crew. The old skid loaders have required about $26,000 worth of repairs over the last 3 years. City staff budgeted for new units to replacing the aging equipment.
City Director of Public Works Russ Nuss recommended purchasing 3 skid loaders at a rate of $62,677 each, to be paid out of the city’s enterprise fund. The units would be purchased from the CAT dealership in Sulphur springs through Buyboard purchasing cooperative.
Sulphur Springs City Council approved the purchases as recommended at their meeting conducted Oct. 6 via Zoom conferencing and streamed on YouTube for the public to view.
Elections Contract
City Secretary/Elections Officer Gale Roberts asked the City Council to consider approving a contract with the Hopkins County Election Officer to conduct the Nov. 3 City Council Elections.
Per a proclamation for Gov. Greg Abbott, the city’s election was moved from May to November, due to COVID-19 pandemic. The contract would allow the city to partner with the county for election costs to hold the city council election concurrent with county elections. City Secretary Gale Roberts will continue to prepare and post all notices as required by law, including order of election and notice of election, and will accept financial report, draw for a places on the ballot and prepare the ballot. The election officer will provide election services such as programming, testing of equipment, procuring of election workers and other duties.
Maxwell noted that Roberts plans to retiring in December 2021 or shortly thereafter. The contract would benefit the city by having someone who can provide election services when the new city secretary is hired. This contact would help with the transition.
According to city staff, the city has budgeted for election costs, although the exact cost isn’t known, as the city has no way of knowing how many other entities have contracted with the county for election services. (The City of Cumby and Miller Grove and North Hopkins ISDs have also called for city council and school board elections, respectively.)
The Sulphur Springs City Council Election ballot will include two candidates seeking Place 5 on the council and 4 candidates seeking Place 1 on the Council.
The City Council approved the elections service contract between the City of Sulphur Springs and Hopkins county as recommended.
COVID-19 Update
Maxwell also noted that the city has continued to suspend the practice of cutting off water service for non-payment for several months during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the number of active COVID-19 cases continues to be between 30 and 90, with 74 active cases and nearly 400 COVID-19 tests conducted at the free testing site from Sept. 25-Oct. 5, Maxwell said the city currently is continuing the policy of not shutting off service due to non-payments.
However, the city manager noted some account balances have grown quite high. As of this week, 6.3 percent of all accounts were in arrears, with 143 of the 423 accounts more than 90 days behind.
Maxwell said the current plan is that cutoffs won’t be reinstituted until after a vaccine is available. At that time, the city will have to decide how to proceed regarding delinquent accounts. He anticipates requiring those who are behind to pay the current bill, plus 1/6th-1/12th of the back amount to avoid having their water service cut off.
Finances
Smith also reported that the fiscal year 2019-2020 “ended very well despite everything that’s going on,” leaving the city in “good shape overall.”
General fund revenue came in $794,879 under budget, but without the one-time revenue the city has not received yet it appears to leave the city with a surplus of $96,066over the budgeted amount , Smith reported.
Smith said sales tax revenues also came in $289,372 over budget, even with the pandemic.
The city has 667,943 pending from CARES Act pending. Expect to receive $ from Texas Department of Emergency Management over the next 30-60 days. The city plans to request reimbursement for $890,000 later this year.
Overall, across all funds the city finished $2.188 under budget, according to Smith.
Public Forum
During the public forum portion of Tuesday’s City Council meeting, Jay Julian phone in to ask the council to consider a youth city council initiative to actively engage young people in the municipal process.
“Authentic youth civic engagement provides young people meaningful
opportunities to contribute their experiences, knowledge and solutions to
city issues,” Julian said. “I feel a youth council is a great way to promote civic pride and provide a foundation to spring-board our youth’s interest in municipal government. Our future crop of leaders are in our youth.”

Wildcats Football Head Coach Discusses Lovejoy Loss and Upcoming Hallsville
Wildcats Football Coach Greg Owens was not thrilled with the result of Friday night’s tough loss to the Lucas Lovejoy Leopards, as the Wildcats lost 48-13.
“We had some opportunities there,” Coach Owens said about Friday night’s game, adding that it was similar to the season-opener against Frisco Wakeland in that the Wildcats had opportunities for success.
The varsity football coach found the sliver lining, though, for his team did not give up a turnover, unlike the Wakeland loss, when they surrendered three.
Coach Owens cited inconsistency throughout different skill positions as one of the main reasons the Wildcats lost their home-opener last week.
Luckily, for the Wildcats, though, their opponent this week, the Hallsville Bobcats, will also be worrying about consistency, as Coach Owens said the Bobcats are in the midst of learning a new offense and defense.
But don’t get it twisted, though, both teams will be fighting hard for the victory.
Hallsville will be looking for their first win as well, but to Hallsville’s credit, Coach Owens said the Bobcats have played some pretty good opponents thus far. In both losses, Hallsville did not go quietly.
“They play with a lot of emotion,” Coach Owens said about Hallsville, adding that the team plays “with a lot of passion.”
Coach Owens noted Hallsville’s wide-receiver group, who he claims is dangerous.
Coach Owens argued that while the Bobcats’ wide-receiver group this week may not be as athletic as the Wildcats’ last opponents, he did say that each week the Bobcats WRs have shown great improvement.
The Wildcats will have to make improvements of their own if they hope to defeat the Hallsville Bobcats as they come to town Friday to play the Wildcats at Gerald Prim Stadium at 7:30 P.M.
Last Friday Hallsville lost to Frisco Memorial, after being tied at halftime. The Frisco Memorial offense scored 24 points in the second half to put the game away, winning 34-24. It certainly did not help the Bobcats’ cause that they surrendered three interceptions and a fumble.
The game against Hallsville (0-0, 0-2 overall) Friday will be the second-straight home game for the Wildcats (0-0, 0-2 overall) as both teams will be looking to avoid a 0-3 start.

Manhunt Proves Successful For Sheriff’s Office
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office releases details from manhunt that proved successful in capturing a fleeing suspect north of Cumby.
Press Release – for immediate release October 7, 2020
October 6, 2020 Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office and Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association had been conducting a joint investigation regarding theft of various farm related equipment. Hopkins County Sheriff’s received information about a suspicious vehicle in the area of Hopkins County Road 4732. Investigators knew this vehicle to be associated with persons of interest in this ongoing investigation.
Investigators involved with the investigation immediately responded to the area with the assistance of Deputies and Cumby Police Department. At approximately 11:03 AM Investigator M. Russell located the vehicle traveling along Hopkins County Road 4732. Investigator Russell attempted
to follow the vehicle until additional units could make it to his location. However, the driver of the vehicle stopped in the middle of the road and got out of the vehicle. Inv. Russell addressed the two occupants of the vehicle and began giving verbal orders. However, the duo failed to obey his commands and fled the location in a motor vehicle.
Investigator Russell gave chase along multiple Hopkins County Roads. The Fleeing vehicle stopped near the Intersection Hopkins County Road 4724 and Hopkins County Road 4725. At the time the vehicle stopped it was only occupied by one female which had been the passenger in the vehicle.
The male suspect had jumped from the vehicle while using the cover of dust from the rock road.
The male fled from the location running west. Person(s) involved in the incident confirmed the location, direction of travel, and the fact that he was unarmed. A man hunt started with the assistance of Texas Department of Public Safety, Special Ranger B. Fox (Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association), Cumby Police Department, Hunt County Sheriff’s Office, Commerce Police Department, Greenville Police Department K9, Hunt County PCT 1 Constable Terry Jones, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
During this process Investigators with the assistance of K9s, Helicopters, and other Confidential Sources were able to track Mr. Ford’s escape efforts. Mr. Ford continued west along creeks and heavily wooded areas away from populated areas. Mr. Ford had a phone in his possession and even spoke to Investigators via his phone while fleeing.
With all information coming it was apparent Joshua Terry Ford’s intent and travel path led him solely to creeks, heavily wooded areas, and away from any communities. Texas Department of Criminal Justice and their K-9s continued on a track from his last known location to his place of capture approximately 4.05 miles as a crow flies although the actual path utilizing creeks and away from houses the distance traveled by Mr. Ford and TDCJ personnel and K-9’s was much further. Mr. Ford was located in Hunt
County, Texas and taken into custody without incident while hiding in a tree.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank each agency that assisted in this incident. Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office is dedicated to the detection, arrest, and apprehension of all persons charged with a crime. Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office works closely with community members
including schools and has implemented a program known locally as “Joshua Alert” to notify schools if there had been any threat to their establishment or students.

Reinvestment Zone, 2 Rezoning Items Receive Council Approval
Two rezoning items and a reinvestment zone and tax incentive agreement for a new business were among the items receiving approval from Sulphur Springs City Council, during the regular council meeting conducted Oct. 6 on Zoom and streamed to Youtube for public viewing.
My Perfect Pet Tax Incentives
The City Council was asked by the Economic Development Corporation to consider designating Lot 6 at Pioneer Business park as an industrial reinvestment zone for My Perfect Pet.
Karen Neola has moved her frozen pet food business from California in Sulphur Springs, a more central location from which to ship her specialty a gourmet pet food product to sellers across the country.
Neola officially broke ground for the project on July 31, 2019. My Perfect Pet’s 19,000 square foot facility in Sulphur Springs is now complete to USDA standards for production of human grade frozen pet food. The project is a $2.5 million investment. Neola said the business is slated to begin its first production shift Wednesday at 9 a.m.
One of the incentives offered to Neola for the relocation was a tax abatement from the hospital district. The hospital district does not have the legal authority to create a reinvestment zone, but the City Council does. The proposed Ordinance No. 2774 would establish a geographic boundary of an area where a taxing entity can offer a tax incentive. The reinvestment zone doesn’t create a tax abatement with the city, but would allow the hospital district to consider a tax abatement for My Perfect Pet, according to Sulphur Springs-Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Roger Feagley.
She said a lot of communities are competing for small businesses. She is glad to be one of them and looks forward to growing and thriving in her new community — Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County. The city and county are attractive to small businesses, in helping them to get where they want to be, Neola said.
According to the information provided to the City Council Tuesday night, Sulphur Springs was one of four communities in Northeast Texas that competed for the business. The tax incentives were what resulted in the business’ relocation to Sulphur Springs.
The Council approved on first reading, Ordinance No. 2774 establishing Lot 6 of Pioneer Business Park as an industrial re-investment zone.
The City Council then approved a resolution approving a 380 agreement with My Perfect Pet, which EDC Executive Director Roger Feagley said follows the current guidelines established for such agreements. This would allow the city to reimburse the property tax for the business in the agreed upon amount per the established tax schedule, after the stipulated requirements are presented to the city. The resolution authorizes the city manager to enter into the agreement for the economic development project.
The cost would be 55 percent of the taxes over the 10 years of the agreement. At the current tax rate, the total taxes due on the property would be $110,000 over 10 years. The company would be reimbursed $60,500 over 10 years, according to the 380 resolution proposal presented at Tuesday night’s City Council meeting.
Rezoning of Old Mine Property
The City Council also gave unanimous approval of Ordinance No. 2775, which would rezone the city-owned old Luminant/Thermo mine property to heavy industrial.
Community Development Director Tory Niewiadomski explained that when the city annexed the old mine property into the city limits on March 3, the property was not zoned. The next step toward development of the property is to zone it to allow for future use. The heavy industrial designation keeps with the previous use of the property as a coal mine, Niewiadomski explained.
Officially giving the property a heavy industrial zoning designation would provide more flexibility in development opportunities for the site. It would allow the EDC to make investments in the property to help attract major employers and industry to portions of the mine suitable for development, according to Niewiadomski. That would increase the tax base for the city, which could help fund other necessary infrastructure repairs and upgrades
City staff sent 102 certified letters to surrounding county property owners within 200 feet of the former coal mine. The city received one written response in favor of the zoning change, 18 written and one verbal response opposed to the zoning change, and two undecided written responses. A petition started on Change.org received 214 signatures in opposition of the zoning change, including from people nationwide.
Concerns expressed in the letters, during a public hearing Sept. 21 during a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting and via the online petition included a desire to maintain quiet country living, concern for wildlife, noise, traffic and the impact of heavy industry on nearby property values. Some expressed displeasure that property they understood had been gifted to the city on the condition it would become a park would be used for industry. Some of these concerns were addressed by city staff during a public hearing held during the Sept. 21 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The P&Z Commission at that time approved the request for rezoning of the mine, recommending it to the City Council.
City Council members asked whether fencing would be required for any development within a certain distance of residential properties. The city manager noted that would be addressed in a platting process at a later date.
The City Council approved on first reading Ordinance No. 2775 rezoning the former mine property as heavy industrial.
Rezoning of Spence-Fisher Street Corner
Kenny Dority of Paris asked the city to consider rezoning a 10.84-acre tract of property at the corner of Spence and Fisher Streets from heavy commercial to single family. This would allow for the development of housing either duplexes or town home type structures.
The property would have to be “downzoned” to allow it to be used for residential use. The property is surrounded by a mix of zoning designations, heavy commercial to the east, light commercial to the south, single family and multi-family to the west, and single family and two family to the north.
Forty letters were sent to adjacent properties. They received five responses in favor of the request and 2 opposed to it, Niewiadomski told the Planning and Zoning Commission when the matter was first presented last month. Concerns expressed at that time were for what it’d do for nearby property values, the use of spot zoning, inconsistent zoning in the area and whether it would result in neighborhood decline. The zoning change would only affect the Spence-Fisher Street corner property, not other nearby property, Niewiadomski noted.
Dority told the P&Z Commission that he’s been in banking/ real estate for 20 years, and has built homes in Broken Bow and Paris. If they go with a townhouse style it’d be very high-end construction with granite counter tops, high ceilings. They’d be about $125 per square foot homes, duplexes or subdivided into townhomes. He said the feasibility of which would be worked out once the zoning is approved. He said the the homes built in Paris “rent well and match the surrounding area nicely.”
If duplexes are constructed, some would have a garage. They’d likely be either a modern farm house or modern cabin style, which typically “have very good curb appeal to them,” Dority told the P&Z Commission. Dority said he would looking at a total investment of $8 million in the 36 lots.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended the zoning change for the Spence-Fisher Street corner.
The rezoning, Niewiadomski noted would only apply to the 10.8-acres of property. Adjacent property owners would keep the same zoning rights.
The City Council approved the on first reading Ordinance No. 2776, which would rezoning property at the corner of Spence and Fisher Streets from heavy commercial to single family attached.
Top Tips for a Successful Fall Vegetable Garden
By Phyllis Kitten, Hopkins County Master Gardener
As planting time for fall vegetables begins, it’s important to know that a fall vegetable garden will need to be managed somewhat differently than a spring garden. The good news is, a well-prepared garden can ensure a bountiful harvest now that the time is here.
Sunlight For Fall Vegetables
Most important is planning for adequate sunlight. Vegetable garden spaces should receive at least six hours of direct sunlight, unobstructed by shadows from taller objects nearby.
Roots and fruits should be planted in areas that receive the most sunlight. If you have to push something a little more into the shade, do it with your leafy greens, as they can tolerate a little less sunlight.
Soil Is Key
Soil quality is the second determining factor in a strong vegetable garden.
One of the easiest ways to build healthier soil is by amending it with compost, which is comprised of organic matter that has decomposed into a soil-like substance.
A soil test is a valuable resource for understanding the precise composition of your soil.
Organic matter is necessary in the soil for a garden to thrive. Compost helps sandy soils keep more water, and it helps clay soils drain better among other benefits.
If drainage is poor, raised planting beds can help plants to thrive even during periods of excessive rainfall. Texans who wish to know more about their soil composition can order a soil test from AgriLife Extension.
Choose The Right Vegetables For Fall
Fall gardeners can set the stage for a bountiful harvest by selecting the best plants for their regions.
Here in Texas our fall season can be short between the blazing heat of summer and first frost of winter. So, we want plants that harvest quickly, and you want to select crops that are well-adapted to this area.
AgriLife Extension’s web-based Fall Vegetable Gardening Guide gives more detailed information and can help choose the best species for any Texas region.
Tips for a successful fall harvest
- Plan for adequate sunlight.
- Give roots and fruits the most sun.
- Consider moving leafy greens into slightly shadier garden areas.
- Amend your soil with compost.
- Choose regionally native or adapted plants.

Lady Cats Volleyball Team Pulls Out Dramatic, Come-From-Behind Victory Tuesday In 3-2 District Win
Throughout the first two sets of Tuesday night’s match, it looked as though the Lady Cats Volleyball team were about to be swept for the second game in a row against another district foe, this time the Marshall Lady Mavs.
The Lady Mavs ran away with the first set, thanks in large part to a strong defensive presence the Marshall varsity squad provided at the net. Many blocks ended up as points for the Lady Mavs, and it certainly didn’t help the Lady Cats that multiple errors put the home squad in a hole. Marshall dominated early, winning the first set by a score of 20-25.
The Lady Cats fought back in the second set, taking the lead early, at one point 17-13, but the Lady Mavs struck back with more ferocity, winning the second set, 23-25.
That’s about when the magic started.
In the third set, with the Lady Cats staring at the brink of defeat, and their fifth loss in a row, at that, would not go gentle into that good night. The Sulphur Springs squad began the match set ahead, and tied the game five separate times following the hot start; 4-4, 5-5, 7-7, and 8-8, 14-14 and from there, fought ferociously all the way to a victory in the third set, 25-19.
The fourth set was all Lady Cats, all the time, as they throttled the visiting Lady Mavs, 25-13.
The fifth set was dramatic and full of tension in the Main Gym, but the Lady Cats’ momentum carried them all the way to a resounding 15-8 set 5 win, giving the Sulphur Springs varsity squad the dramatic come-from-behind win.
Lady Cats (1-1 district, 4-6 overall) Volleyball Coach Bailey Dorner said it was nice to see strength through adversity in her squad in the win over the Marshall Lady Mavs (0-2 district, 2-5 overall).
“A lot of times when we have a fifth set, we get really relaxed,” Coach Dorner said, adding on that sometimes her team will give up a big lead early, like they did in the first set against Marshall.
The coach said “It was nice to see us on the opposite side, to jump out there and get ahead of them right off the bat.”
“It was nice to see them stay on their toes and finish a game,” Coach Dorner said about her squad’s performance.
Coach Dorner said the volleyball team has not won a match that has gone to 5-sets since August, during the preseason — of 2019.
“We joke we have a curse about the 5th set,” Coach Dorner said, “but we overcame it tonight.”
Coach Bailey Dorner said it was nice to see the Lady Cats fight; that her squad fought with a little heart and that fighting with a little competitive edge was nice to see for the varsity volleyball coach.
With the dramatic, come-from-behind victory, the Lady Cats (1-1, 4-6 overall), Sulphur Springs notched their first district win and snapped a four-game losing streak.
Next up the Lady Cats Volleyball Team will have a dual-match on Friday, first playing Pine Tree (1-1, 2-5 overall) at 4 P.M., and a make-up game with Mt. Pleasant (0-0, 0-1 overall) that was originally to be played on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2020.
